As SilasX points out, using the phrase "claim of impunity" could also confuse laypeople about what the legal term of art is. But more importantly, no one ever claimed impunity. You could say they "cannot do x with impunity following this decision" perhaps, but you cannot say that the TSA "claimed impunity" — which they did not ever do.

The current FTC chair wrote the ~~book~~ essay on Amazon's monopolistic business practices (1) and has spoken so much about it that the only reason we'd see the government take their foot off the gas here is if Amazon's lawyers can claim that her previous advocacy biases the case against them.

Thanks! Your newer research is pretty convincing. Makes me a bit sad: I really like the 'plastic tree' analogy. Ah, well.
The thing is, it's 2023, we all "know" that every company's product get made in the same factory and there's just a fork at the end of the conveyor where they get different branding slapped on.

So the gamble is that UCNN is sourced out of the exact same factory as the product/brand you actually want. It's the the evolution of the Warby Parker model.
I've never met anyone that thought the LPs were meant to imply Amazon "really cares". I like Amazon because it seems more straightforward than other companies. It's a business and it wants to make money. The only way I've ever interpreted "customer obsession" is that it's mutually beneficial to do what's best for the customer.

To say that this thing that actually happened didn't actually happen would also be propaganda. Every statement has bias. I'm just pointing out that this isn't a joke image, it's a real image.
I ran into it one to two months ago.
Amazon became a giant because they were genuinely good before they became what they are now. For a long time, they offered a superior online shopping experience. The prices were good, the processing time was faster than anyone else, the shipping was fast and reliable, the site was easy to use, etc. Then all the third party sellers, whack-a-mole Chinese brands, and counterfeits took over the site. I thought Amazon was great when they were the retailer instead of a marketplace.
Free software wise, devices sold with Android usually come with proprietary userspace drivers.

And with a heavily patched, outdated kernel version not maintained for very long by the SoC manufacturer.

This is the case for a Pixel tablet running GrapheneOS.

There's an effort to develop an actually free distribution of Android to actual devices: Replicant [1]. But they have a hard time succeeding: they are stuck on an old version of Android (6) and run on very old hardware.

The only other way to run Android without non-free blobs and with an up-to-date kernel that I know of are:

- on regular (x86) PCs, with a build of android-x86 that does not contain the GApps (which actually means rebuilding it yourself, or finding a derivative that does this for you) - there are still the non-free firmware, but that's the same as regular Linux distros.

- same, but in a virtual machine (and you are freed from the non-free firmware blobs, to the best of my knowledge)

With Purism hardware, you can run a 100% free OS. This comes with the cost that we are seeing: old/limited and expensive hardware. Even then, I'm sure the CPU runs its own non-free microcode/firmware. I remember a blog post from Purism that explained to their users how to patch the microcode of their CPU vulnerable to the side channel attacks, since PureOS does not contain microcode updates, since they are non-free.

My comment might not seem too nice towards Purism, but I'm actually grateful they are trying and actually delivering things related to 100% free software and Linux mobile. I have a PinePhone, and it would not be as good / usable if it weren't for Purism. I think we need Linux mobile (or, at least, a free alternative to Android and iOS). It's not there yet for daily driving a phone for most people (even enthusiasts), but it's already useful and I hope it reaches this state at some point.

Yeah this happened to me and it killed my business. I didn’t have enough time to expand the business and I didn’t charge the first customer enough to scale it up with employees.

It was really the stress that killed it. Being in that situation was not fun and I ended up burning out and telling my big customer to go jump. They threatened to sue me and I was done so I just said “give it your best shot”. Nothing came of the threat in the end. The experience has left a lot of scars and after 15 years not all of them have healed.

This is still at-risk because you are not required to list on Amazon to use FBA.

The handwritten note is a better indicator for sure.
I’m not sure about textbooks specifically on infinity. As another comment mentions, the study of infinity generally falls under the math subject of set theory so a set theory textbook would be a mathematician’s definitive resource on infinity. I learned set theory from the book Elements of Set Theory by Herbert Enderton. I’d say that books alright, but would not give it my highest recommendation. It’s very dry and technical, and most of it’s not about infinity.

I can't and I won't in any way justify the retroactive part (even though they seemingly promised not to do that again, they already made the same promise a couple of years ago..).

But I'm not quite sure I understand your overall argument. Are you saying that if you release any type of software you're should never be allowed to change the TOS in subsequent version? e.g. Windows 11 should have exactly the same TOS as Windows 95?

Analogies never work.

The reason that it is wrong to take my car, even if I don’t notice, are multiple:

- You are still depriving me of the possibility of using my own car, even if it happened to be the case that I didn’t need it. I could have come home early. I could have told some friend or family to pick up my car so that they could use it. I could have had an appointment that someone would come by to service my car while I was absent. All of this is made impossible if someone takes my car.

- It still causes wear and tear on my car if you use it.

- You could get into an accident, which could hurt you and damage my car.

- I don’t want random strangers to sit their butts in my car.

- etc

I think there is a big difference between published academic tools that work on a specific benchmark format versus an academic tool that has been integrated into a robust EDA toolflow. Also, note that dreamplace is simply accelerated electrostatic placement tool using deep learning frameworks to take advantage of GPUs. Electrostatic placement is not a new concept and is not specific to dreamplace.

> What system can distinguish lies from truth better than each person for themselves?

The average person has effectively zero ability to distinguish truth from lies, in my experience. They simply go with either whatever they heard first or whatever fits their prejudices. So, I'd say that almost _any_ system of genuinely unbiased fact-checking would improve the outcome.

I can tell. Thank you for your indefatigable advocacy.

I read about Shaken Baby Syndrome some time ago and since then I've kept bookmarks of cases I see in the news that seem to be false convictions. I remember one in particular of a British man who was accused of having murdered his baby daughter by shaking. The case has stuck in my mind because the press reported how a Playstation was found on the living room table and the prosecution alleged that the daughter's crying had disturbed the father's playing, and so he had shaken her so he could continue playing. I could not believe that such a far-fetched conjecture, virtually impossible to falsify, would be accepted by judges and juries and thought that for the prosecution to be grasping for straws like that they must really have nothing concrete to go on, but the father was put in jail nonetheless. I don't have my bookmarks at hand now so I can't look up his name.

I suspect that when legal and medical experts claim that SBS cases don't only take the evidence of the triad into account, that's the kind of "evidence" that they mean they also consider: just-so stories that stop only short of calling the family pet as a witness.

Edit: I just realised - your association is called "adikia". "Injustice" in my native language, Greek.

Show HN: NitroIQ – A Jira plugin for optimizing scrum teams
Hi HN!

We've just launched a JIRA plugin that helps technology and product leaders optimize sprint performance on scrum boards (kanban support is coming soon).

This is a tool that I've personally always wanted in my arsenal growing and mentoring engineering teams, and had to always hack together with spreadsheets and API calls. The aim of NitroIQ was to not only present JIRA data in a clean and beneficial way, but to provide advice, scorecards, and "prescriptions" to help leaders fine-tune their teams and also find where the bottlenecks in process are.

I might be weird but those bottom vents are a dealbreaker for me.

Lay the laptop on anything close to a damp surface and now you’ve got moisture that can potentially cling to an open vent and make its way in.

Side intake top/rear exhaust is what I like to see. The design is old school but unlike the other features of this laptop, old school in a bad way.
the word "clickbait" is flung around way too readily these days. a good title is supposed to make you want to read the article, and at its best it is an artistic flourish that enhances the overall piece. and personally, i love that. i enjoy seeing how writers (or editors) come up with good titles, and the fun and interesting ways they relate to the text of the piece. i enjoy when the title is clearly an allusion or reference to something, and chasing it down leads me to learn something new. and i even enjoy when the title is just a pun or play on words, because writers live for moments like that :)

in this case i definitely felt "wow, that's an interesting quote, and i can see what they are getting at. let's read the article to see how it's substantiated or used as a springboard".

clickbait is more "we have some amazing!!!!! information to tell you but to find out what you will have to read the article", e.g. the classic listicle format "10 things we imagined a beowulf cluster of - number 4 will shock you!", the spammy "one weird trick doctors don't want you to know" or the tabloid "john brown's shocking affair!". and yes, that sort of thing is a plague on the internet and i would not like to see more of it, but also that is not what is going on here.
In the beginning it was a free-for-all but now cities require permits and have limits and require the companies to implment restricted zones where the scooter won't run.

See my comment below. I'm talking about delivery drivers. You might be talking about fulfillment centers.

I disagree that nobody would voluntarily choose to pee in a bottle in the context of driving a delivery vehicle. But I do agree that the behavior in the context of being in a building that has a bathroom is a sign that something is horribly wrong.

>For an isolated build worker - yeah, sure, I'll go ahead and disable SIP.

Isn't this especially dangerous on a build worker? All your source code goes in and you (presumably) use the binaries that come out across the rest of your infrastructure. Compromising a build worker in a persistent fashion due to lack of SIP seems like it could do some serious[1] harm...

That’s the direction things are heading. Corporate communism i call it.
What specifically about the class improved the scores? It could be something intrinsic like a method that helps students remember things better. Or it could just be because the class was new the teachers were more involved versus the ones who are teaching the same old curriculum. These causes suggest different changes. One suggests everyone should teach X. The other suggests the solution needs to get teachers more involved.
I never gravitated towards the Lord of the Rings books but resolved to read them in college because they were a reference point for so many of my friends. They really rubbed me the wrong way, and I had to force myself through them. A decade later, I greatly enjoyed the movies while watching them with friends but found that they bored me when I watched them alone.

I'm a sucker for Star Wars, though. I'm sad to say I've paid to see some of the newer ones even when I knew better.
We were doing similar things on the Mac back then by editing plist files :)
For better or worse, in modern parlance "luddite" is the same as "vandal" or "barbarian": actual Vandals weren't really vandalistic, and Barbarians weren't all that barbaric.

If the term wasn't "luddite", "vandal", or "barbarian" then it would be something else to describe the same thing. That is: these terms aren't really a source of any sentiment, and merely used to describe it.

This is different from e.g. the McDonald's coffee lady, where people draw real conclusions about modern society from the case (usually with very limited knowledge of the facts) and is the source of a sentiment.

> If Steve Jobs hadn't [...] forced the hand of everyone else

Steve Jobs called where puck was going. Everyone knew the problem; clients were falling behind in capability, and web content was getting more advanced and bigger. 99% of the things we use the modern web for have solved this problem with HTML5 and Javascript. The other 1% got locked behind a novel invention called "The App Store", a new way to pay 30% of your digital revenue to support APIs you ought to have access to in the first place. That sad fact is the reason why every Mac is loaded with Electron apps and WebViews for basic messaging and music players. Apple might even try to fix it if they didn't make so much money selling memory upgrades.

If Apple's goal was to build on the web instead of gimping it for their own exploitation, they would have a leg to stand on.
Each room was rented individually from the landlord, so we were legally separate tenants, not just roommates all on the same lease.

The building itself was over a hundred years old, and had countless violations of modern building codes, health codes, and fire safety codes. It was pretty much a disaster waiting to happen, but it was affordable!
I once tapped on a podcast link that someone sent me that opened in Spotify. I was haunted by podcast recommendations for months, if not years afterwards. I honestly wouldn't care if there was a completely separate tab in the app that didn't influence recommendations.
Would you mind explaining specifically how the FCC's intention to add net neutrality rules again (actually Chairwoman Rosenworcel's intention, and dubious in mettle [1]) would give the government "control over information"? Additionally, would you mind describing what you mean by "government control over information"?

A required condition of net neutrality is that the ISPs be considered common carriers once again. Common carriers are an exception to the legal paradigm of compelled speech. So the most you can say is that the government would be disallowing the ISPs from engaging in money-motivated censorship. If that falls under your idea of "government control over information" then you would be correct (but only pointlessly correct in my opinion).

This is why a hobby/side hustle/side project can be useful for flexing creative urges that you don't have the luxury of carrying out in your job. Because work can be drudgery, and the system pays you well, so maybe have an outlet for creative work on the side (even if it doesn't make you money).
