You are a seller. Amazon makes up 40% of your sales. You have your own first party website where you can profitably offer your product for 5% less and still make an additional 10% profit but it only makes up 5% of your sales currently.

What's your move in this position?

You can't just imagine all companies as perfect frictionless spherical interchangeable cows. In reality companies as large as Amazon can have significant market distorting effect, while much smaller companies might have to choose between their principles and going out of business.

If you don’t think the answer is the federal government should be providing the necessary infrastructure, then you want retail business operators to pay for fixing the problems taxpayers should be paying to fix.
I agree, funnily enough though a period where the phone is turned off may be used to prosecute if there is otherwise a consistent location history.

I don't have a family, but self-hosting Actual Budget via Docker helped me provide a budget app for my friends who I converted to YNAB4, and who I didn't want to point to subscribing to "New YNAB" which is less useful.

I like being able to just host things on my Synology NAS, set up usernames for people, and go "here's a reverse proxy'd URL, go nuts." While it makes me responsible for their data in a way, it feels like I'm helping.
Intending to commit a crime is not a crime, though. And accessory-after-the-fact crimes (like receiving stolen goods or assisting an escape) don't match that pattern either.

> So if a state says that they cannot force a seller to keep their lowest price on Amazon, then that's the way it is.

Yes, but at the end of the day Amazon to remove the seller for any reason, so even if the FTC succeeds here, Amazon will simply purge those sellers who are not offering the best price, even if not explicitly stated.

There is no reality where Amazon allows their site to be inundated with higher priced goods compared to competitors.

Currently in the US, in the form of institutional rejection, which is equally dishonest, but considerably more messy.

Most of the ebike fires I've looked into are caused by shoddily 'repaired' or damaged batteries while being charged. I charge my battery in a BBQ on the little 'porch' I have outside my apt or just this reason. These batteries are the same as the batteries in most of your electronics the only difference being they are probably quite a bit larger. Obviously we don't worry about charging our phones on the nightstand or our roombas in a pantry but they pose very similar danger.
Just looked up and the Argo thing still exists and the pricing looks the same, couldn't find anything related to basic HTML sites on tunnel, though.
How so? Or rather, taking change for a given, what are believable indicators that a secret organization outside normal systems of law and publicity has changed _for the better_? After all, the Snowden relevations lead not to the NSA deciding that creating a global panopticon for a super-surveillance state would be a bad idea, but rather them doing their damnedest that never again the American public would be informed of the true scale of their dystopian actions.

I was a on a jury back in 2002 where the prosecutor was presenting cell tower data to show the suspect was in the area. We are at 20 years from then and people are still committing crimes with their phones on, and the phone is more part of daily lives now.
It's definitely not just the FTC. 3 years ago, the European commission launched an investigation for the same thing: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_...

If the FTC doesn't get them, rest easy. At least Europe knows how to keep their market on a leash.
Strong static typing is useful in the environment where the code is not adequately tested. That's because tests adequate to make the code bulletproof will also detect the problems strong static typing could detect, rendering SST superfluous.

So, how often is poorly tested code out there? From the popularity of strong static typing, it must be ubiquitous.
This is getting voted down, I bthink because of the texture of the comment, but put another way I got upvoted recently for the same sentiment, so I'll echo it. We were told masks didn't work, so we wouldn't buy too many and short the people who needed them most, so people kept believing it after the well meant lie. We were told it wasn't a pandemic and that we could still stop it, so that people would continue the practices that would ease the burden on our nurses. The severity of the flu has been exaggerated (on average, there have been really bad years) so that people would get vaccines even if it might not be that important for them individually. If you manage the truth, you havebto keep doing it more and more. If you treat your citizenship like children, you'll get childish behavior. You can't wait for people to behave responsibly to give them responsibility, it works the other way around. Responsibility and accountability produce responsible behavior. As things stand, people expect that if something wasn't safe to eat it wouldn't be legal to sell it...

Here are some possibilities (not claiming these are practical or a solution):

The first is splitting Amazon-retail from their other products (Alexa, Ring, AWS, etc.)

The second is splitting Amazon-logistics out. I'm not exactly sure how this would work, but it could be argued that Amazon logistics could operate standalone.
I assume you're not familiar with Walmart or how they operate?

But 50 % slower is either 1.5 or twice as long, depending on whether the 50 % refer to an increase of the runtime or a decrease of throughput. 200 % slower is only unambiguous because the throughput can not decrease by more than 100 %.
They don't geolocate. You setup the DNS servers in various datacenters around the world, then BGP anycast the address.

So there are many dns servers with the virtual ip of 8.8.8.8.

Then the way bgp works, you will route to the nearest path. Which will tend to be geologically close.

I don't consider it productive to be personal about technical topics. It's best to divorce yourself and the other party from the issue to limit as much bias as possible. You don't need to worry about the good-faithness of an objective, egalitarian discussion. It's never truly objective, but you can at least catch yourself saying things like "I might think less of you as a developer" and recognize that's a preconceived notion. In some cases, it may be turn out to be accurate, but it's definitely not always. Dynamically typed languages have had an important role historically in software. We should not categorically denounce people who prefer it as lesser developers. I also generally prefer static types.
In other words, replace it with nothing. That doesn't help the working poor. If you mean another private option, they aren't going to shell out for a "discount" school over public schools, and nothing prevents them from trying.

Heartbreaking news and sad some suspicions I had a while ago are being confirmed.

Talent and technology based progress is no longer compatible with non-profits or academia.

The actual technology, the actual tools made by actual talent that made coding easier and accessible have done a million times more for democratizing than any non-profit talk, grant or fellows program could ever do.

The Foundation and it's farcical work can only exist with the Processing code base, but without the code the Foundation is nothing.

> There are advantages to not using types, such as a faster development speed

In my experience, not even that. Static typing speeds up my day to day programming.

You touch this point on later with how IDEs can make your experience nicer with static typing, but I see this even with a REPL: statically detected type errors lead to meaningful error message that are much closer to the actual root cause, and let me fix it quicker than a runtime error would have.

It also liberates my brain from having to think so carefully about types. The compiler is disciplined so I don’t have to be. I can move quicker, with the confidence that a huge class of errors will be caught right away.

Static type systems are in my experience easier to use, speed up development, and increase reliability. The costs? So far I’ve seen only two: they may be harder to learn, and they’re harder to implement.
I think you're getting the reliability even from on-die ECC if there's memory corruption. What you're not getting is warnings that the RAM is bad and that you should replace it. So it's just as resilient as officially ECC ram but you don't know if error correction is happening or not.
It’s repetitive, but also not particularly long. Also easier to skim those parts. It is more of an issue when you’re trying to consume the audio version…
Yeah, I constantly flip between wanting to self-host and do things myself, and ragequitting that type of thing when this sort of stuff comes up. Paying someone else to screw with all this – at their own best scale – cuts frustration, but obviously comes with a cost that's frustrating every few years when you realize how much money you're sending to someone else to do something you can do. Then once the pendulum swings the other way and you start doing things yourself again you realize the money you're saving is going toward mind-numbing tasks and updates you have to research yourself because someone who isn't dealing with this stuff every day isn't the person doing them.
This is the standard way to refer to the eastern US time zone, exactly to reduce the confusion you mention
In the medical world, this is typically quantified by the Therapeutic Index[1], which is basically how much margin there is between an effective (therapeutic) dose and a lethal dose. (Fentanyl and heroin have notoriously thin margins, while cannabis is famously wide.)

It's a big consideration in what's OTC vs Rx, and what guardrails (inpatient only, regular blood draws, etc) are needed.

There was a good "magic quadrant"-style plot of this against addictive potential, but I can't seem to find it just yet. (This [2] is close.)

It doesn't consider externalities, so it's not great for the "do drugs and you'll end up unemployed, and if you're unemployed you'll end up homeless, and homeless people are a cost on the community" class of arguments.

The cost per student in the US is higher than every country in the world (save Luxemburg if I recall correctly). The problem isn't a lack of money, the problem is the money is misused. Private schools are just better stewards of the students dollars.

I mean the teacher's unions have been screaming about smaller class sizes for decades, let's give it to them.
Generally yes for stock OS. I like that GrapheneOS doesn't give a shit (and they don't have to, because they're not selling phones):

"Wireless alerts are fully optional since GrapheneOS adds a toggle for the otherwise mandatory presidential alert type. This is particularly useful in Canada where the government abuses the system and sends every type of alert as a presidential alert to stop users from being able to opt out of weather and amber alerts." https://grapheneos.org/features

- We're 20+ years into a gun crisis in schools, such that "school shootings" are so common as to no longer be major news and are now just a punchline to a joke. No politician in the nation has put forward any serious plan to address this issue, and the kids are hyper aware of this.

- There are no real mental health services for students, especially those with extreme mental health concerns. (and even if you as a child, or your own children, don't need those services, you'll be lumped in with other kids who desperately do need it)

- Schools themselves are chronically mismanaged, generally due to funding issues. (some still don't have Air Conditioning, despite rampant global warming. Some still don't have any ventilation, despite being on year-three of a global pandemic, etc)

- Teachers have some of the lowest wages of any white-collar profession. (average pay here is $55k/yr). Teachers are so underpaid, they often can't even afford basic housing in the school districts within which they teach.

- Because of the last point, some of the teachers still willing to tolerate all-of-the-above are not necessarily folks who should be teaching. Some districts are heavily using/abusing substitute teachers as in-fill, which reduces the quality (and staff wages) even further. (google: Florida Teacher Shortage, and their plans to use unqualified military staff, as some kind of insane stop-gap plan)

- School boards have become weaponized, such that right-wing-extremists are taking control of them via poorly-noticed elections, in an attempt to destroy public schooling and make life miserable for all teachers and students. (google: Ottawa Impact or Moms for Liberty, as some examples)

- Right-wing extremists have demonized teaching as a profession, actively operate and fund hate campaigns against all public schooling, (and libraries, apparently), and they openly issue death threats or terrorism threats to any teacher who is kind to students. (see "Libs Of TikTok" and related)

It is absolutely no shocker that kids who aren't forced to go, wouldn't want to go. Why would any reasonable person want to deal with all of this?

My gf asked me to apply for a big company job (she’s worked for all of FAANG). The second time a recruiter asked me to explain to them what the “narrative” was in my resume cause they couldn’t see it, I figured I had good reason not to work for one of those places.

They were looking for a simple A -> B -> C while my life has been more A -> G -> B -> -> -> Q...

I haven’t worked for a big company in 35 years, and I can’t imagine they are any more interested in me than I am in them. Even my own companies...by the time they get to a couple of hundred people they are too big for me.

Downvotes don't mean anything. Most of the folks on here have no idea how e-commerce works. Amazon will win. It's simple to see - them losing would imply they are obligated to feature higher prices, which is clearly worse for customers and inherently at odds with what the FTC is supposedly trying to accomplish.

> But now you have no real easy way to get to your special case working correctly without learning more and spending more time just like any other language

That's a big hand wavy thing right there: "spending more time" is not a binary, and "just like any other language" ignores the massive differences there are in how much time you have to spend, what resources are available to you from the language, and how easy the ecosystem makes it.
Building the product is the easy part when you're an engineer. Selling the product will be the hard part.

Ah, but that's not that case here at all. It's not an app. It's still a sandboxed web page. The only difference is the communication method. Rather than a transactional client-server relationship, we adopt the media-steaming approach post-load.

You can lower the product for 5% on both your site and on Amazon. Since Amazon makes up the plurality of your sales you gain more sales both there and on your site. Everyone wins except for you, and such is the life of race-to-the-bottom e-commerce sales.
