Sellers should stop using Amazon if they don't like their policies, and the issues will correct themselves.

That's the same trap that TikTok influencers and others fall into.

You are sold "the dream" by showing top sellers / influencers / etc. and told you can be like them. Kevin O'Leary became a meme for promoting this bullshit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqemytQ5QA

In fact, even the top influencers can be deplatformed in an instant, and their speech is controlled. And same with Amazon. But the thing is that the people you never hear about, the "middle class", are far more controlled and the "long tail" produces all that free content that basically gets almost new views / buys but all that free sharecropper content is then used to train AI models or provide proof of large available inventory / product / content BY THE PLATFORM that pits them all against each other in a zero-sum game.

I think the article does reflect the actual state of the oil sold in the USA.

The linked report [1] goes into deeper detail: They take into account adulteration of "extra virgin" oil with refined oil, water and oil past its expiration date. They call the later "rancid" olive oil because olive oil never really gets rotten, over time (a couple of years at most) it tastes worse because most of the organic components degenerate until it is essentially just liquid fat. That's as bad as olive oil can get, and in that state it could not be sold in most countries of origin.

What prevents ISBN number collisions between authors? Is there a central authority assigning them, or is there say a national prefix, with each government assigning ISBN's for local publications (perhaps delegating this to another body in that nation).

Surely such bodies would have the most complete view on all this data.

Show HN: Actyx – a distributed foundation for local-first software
Actyx [1] is a fully decentralised peer-to-peer event stream database in the spirit of Local-First Software [2] and local-first cooperation [3]. It is written in Rust and based on libp2p and IPFS. After 5 years of development, we are finally releasing it under the Apache 2.0 license.

Another way to look at it: Actyx is a durable and reliable messaging middleware without any central brokers. You can publish events at any computer (e.g. RPi, Android Phone, Tablet) at any time — with perfect availability! — and receive these events at other computers if there is some network path to get them there. You can use streaming data queries [4] to listen to exactly those updates your app is interested in, or use our machine-runner library [5] to execute replicated state machines driven by these events without coordination overhead.

We built Actyx as we helped factories automate their manufacturing processes (see this J on the Beach talk [6] for more background); the factory environment is uniquely challenging in that it requires uncompromising reliability. The reason we’re open-sourcing this technology now is that we see it being valuable outside of this narrow field. You can use it to build resilient applications that cannot be stopped by an unavailability of AWS/Azure/GCP or your SaaS provider of choice — whatever the reason.

We would love to hear your feedback and see other use-cases profit from decentralised local-first software.

I'm not sure what I'm reading here.

Types are integral part of standard programming languages. If you mean "types bad" as in BASIC/Javascript variables, then yes I fully agree. These languages were never meant to be a solution for professional software engineering.

Once a language has proper types, it can be "weak typed" by not forcing "strong typing" by being dynamically typed in nature. If the language has normal preprocessor support, the static type system can be added on the project level. And then in essence you get a strong typed environment in a very thin programming language such as C.

Let's take a big C or C++ software project, the process behind it. Of course, the project is in those languages because it requires native opaque pointers and hardware access. The project has coding style, it has arbitrary rules. Although there is little to stop anyone from making a mess in C or C++ code there is entire code infrastructure and CI/CD chain around it. Lets say the rule is no void pointers without encompassing struct that's a type that can be checked via macro system. If you wrongly use the type struct, you get stopped by the project build. If you go around the rule, you get stopped by a code analysis after commit (and get in trouble for doing that).
I did C/C++ for the first 15 years of my career. I generally agree that strong typing is better for everyone.

But when I started working with python, I understood the beauty in it. At first I couldn't believe you could have a system running reliably that was being hit by millions of people around the world, but then that's when I fully appreciated the power of automated testing. I came from an enterprise shrinkwrap environment with 1.5 hr dev cycles, so you can forgive me for not understanding CD/CI at that point.

Yes, you can't detect when changes could cause bugs, but that's where testing comes in. Where I worked, we had to have complete code coverage so that every line of code was tested, and we needed to have a very strong automated testing. Using that method of testing, it made it a lot more predictable.

Sure, bugs can leak through, but having worked in C/C++ for so long, I can assure you that static typing only fixes a certain number of bugs, there are plenty more sources of bugs that just types.

So for the record, I like static typing and generally agree with using it, but I also see the beauty and simplicity in dynamic typing like Python and it's not complete chaos and there are ways to mitigate it.

> They will find some other reason to remove these sellers.

That's be much harder work, though, so regulation might well still have the intended effect.

Either their reason will need to be through their seller terms and conditions, or it'll have to be done on an individual seller basis.

Amazon relies on scale, and therefore standard terms and conditions for all sellers that can be scrutinized by regulators.

If it's done on an individual seller basis, I don't think they'll be able to do it while having the same effect in practice.
> Before we can select a function to convert a string into a number we must first pick a numerical type

Except this has literally nothing to do with static typing and everything to do with whether or not the language you're using cares about numeric types.

For instance in typescript you'd just have `number` as the type. You could conceive of a dynamically typed language like python where adding a u8 to a u32 would cause a runtime error. In which case it sure would be nice to have the compiler tell you to convert before you called a function.

I love it when people go out of their way to try to make someone feel dumb. Why would you waste your time like that? You asked a question, and they responded in a way that doesn't answer the question. Do you think going through some sort of lecture is going to suddenly improve the answer?

That's like asking the average person to provide the answer to some differential calculus question but they don't know. You then give them a 5 minute dissertation on what differential calculus is, and immediately expect them to provide the answer by immediately asking them to solve the same equation.
As a developer who's written hundreds of thousands of lines of C++, Python, and JS - I don't know! It's not so clear cut. I'm productive in all off them, although Python mostly wins. I wouldn't write a game engine or a video codec with it though.

JavaScript is inconsistent and weird, but Netscape's legacy long since stuck us all into it.

I can see in a very OOP-heavy style maybe, with huge nested classes, that compile/parse time static typing saves a lot of mistakes - but I've come to see OOP as mostly a disaster, and simple functions and structured data almost always win the simplicity and maintainability battle. And modern language servers / IDEs can catch a lot of typing errors during JS / Python development.

I'm persnickety about a lot of programming stuff, but never had a strong opinion about static vs dynamic typing. Both have millions of successful projects under their belt.

The True Cost of Forgotten 401(k) Accounts [pdf]
I routinely see higher prices on German Amazon than on other stores to the point of seeing sellers for third-party products asking for almost twice of what an item would normally cost when bought directly from a seller who doesn't sell on Amazon. For example you can buy Starlink equipment on Amazon but it'll always cost a good 20% more (or more) than you'd pay when buying from Starlink directly.

I'm not sure if the forced price exists in Germany for first-party sellers but it might explain why there seems to be a cottage industry of third-party sellers selling overpriced goods on Amazon. That is of course in addition to the universal problem of a dozen brands with names lifted from a word generator selling the same dropshipped white label product out of a factory in China at vastly different price points to create the illusion of choice.

Yeah, um... I'll take the other side on both those positions.

And I claim that he's pulling those numbers (10x and 10,000x) out of thin air. And if he's doing that, he's probably pulling the dates out of thin air also.

If he's right, though... improving by a factor of 1000 in 10 years means, essentially, doubling in intelligence every year. If it can keep that up for an additional decade or two... that's both impressive and scary. If true, which I don't think it is.

If nothing else, it would make a good science fiction story, with the AI getting noticeably smarter as the story goes on.
> Customers who really need that will go find it at Walmart, or where-ever.

So here's a weird externality. As a decently well off tech-worker, I don't care if I'm paying 5$ or 2$ for lightbulbs, even if I'm re-lighting my whole house. The seller will sell on Amazon, because it is the largest market and will set their prices on other markets to match Amazon. I'll buy on Amazon, because it isn't worth my time to check multiple websites to get the best price (especially when SKUs differ and I have multiple other items I'm buying, etc). And now people who do need to save money, can't also find this lightbulb at a cheaper price on competing marketplaces, even if this lightbulb is actually the best quality.

> Whenever I want to buy anything, I check Amazon first. 9 times out of 10 it's the same price as every other retailer with the added benefit of free shipping and free returns.

That's the problem! The issue is that Amazon forces sellers to raise their prices elsewhere, so that Amazon is the best deal for a shopper. But if Amazon didn't have the power to do that (if it didn't have a monopoly as the gateway to online shopping) then other retailers would be able to lower their prices.

That's the "tax" referred to in the article. By inflating prices across the board, but still ensuring that they're the least expensive option, Amazon retains customers and increases profits. Individual consumers choose it because it's the best deal, but the system as a whole loses out because prices are higher than they "should" be.
