Another realization is that "Prime" doesn't even give you free shipping. Rather, Amazon generally has free shipping and Prime just removes the order minimum and stops them from spitefully delaying your order by a week.

I believe the rise of "free" shipping had a lot to do with manufacturer minimum price fixing. Personally I'd prefer to have the shipping cost be explicit, but also be paying less per product. But something tells me if this narrative gains legs and retailers are able to claw back "free shipping", they won't be removing that margin from the individual products.

As for the article, the moralizing about being an "asshole" is completely unjustified. The big retailers are playing constant pricing games through dynamic pricing, sales, coupons, etc to extract as much money possible from people. I'm not going to feel guilty about following the rules they've created to save a few bucks by doing things like returning items that I preemptively ordered to take advantage of a sale, without thinking about whether I actually want them or not. They're hoping "free returns" will induce me to buy crap I don't want, I mitigate that by batching my buying sprees and putting the due date on my calendar. "What's right" has left the dynamic a long time ago.
I don't really understand why OffsetDateTime doesn't allow adding time deltas (reason provided is that it might have it's offset change relative to UTC). Is the offset supposed to be relative to UTC or is it supposed to be relative to ANY TimeZone (including those with time changes)? I thought it was relative to UTC, but even the other way I just don't understand why that's a problem. I might be making some assumptions about the behavior I expect.

> compared to GitHub.

this is like comparing chrome and other browsers, even chromium based.

chrome and github will employ all tricks in the book, even if they screw you. for example, how many hours of despair I've wasted when manually dissecting a git history on employer github by opening merge diffs, hitting ctrl F, seeing no results and moving to the next... only to find on the 100th diff that deep down the diff lost they hid the most important file because it was more convenient for them (so one team lead could hit some page load metric and get a promotion)

For me it's the latency. It's not a deal breaker, of course. It's more of a first world problem akin to I don't know, guitars? High vs low action if you know guitar "problems". There's no coding problem where it's dependent on speed of typing; programming is mostly about reading anyways. It's more about the feel of it, like we're picky about keyboards and touch feedback we get. I guess spoiled, but nonetheless...

PV in space can be made very thin. The absorption length for photons in CdTe, for example, is just 0.1 microns. Without having to be mechanically robust against wind and rain, great gossamer PV arrays could have very high power/mass ratios. These could drive plasma engines with high Isp.

There are also an abundance of people getting scammed the old fashioned way, KYC's done nothing to reduce that as the amount of people losing money to online scams has increased in recent years.

The crypto ecosystem has scams but it also has genuine financial privacy with Monero, while the average person in a western country has zero options for financial privacy in the traditional banking system.
My wife really disliked the Model Y we took for a test drive, especially the road visualization that you can't turn off for some reason. Can't fully blame her, the thing looked unstable/distracting, and making it impossible to turn off is a bizarre UX decision.

I have multiple email addresses based on use and how much I trust the entity collecting:

- My main personal address is the most protected and only give it out to friends, bank, family, etc.

- I have another address that I give out to Amazon, ebay, couple other trusted merchants and websites.

- Next lay down, one I use for merchants I don't particularly trust like AliExpress. In addition, I only use the credit card that lets me generate a number, set max spending limit, and expiration.

- Finally I have a couple that I use for general websites that I figure either could get hacked or I don't trust at all.

While not 100% accurate, I can tell who has sold or "lost" my info based on the spam I receive. My main personal has some spam but I think it stems from contacts that had their accounts compromised and their contact list was snarfed. Overall the less I assume I can trust the other entity the more spam that account has.

It is funny how accurate the tracking is though. I can search for something on my gaming pc and then a week later I see related ads on Youtube and sometimes even Tubi. My Amazon account uses a different email address than what I used to search on my gaming pc. While my gaming pc has accessed both gmail accounts, they weren't even logged in at the same time. I suppose they rely on IP address + IP metadata and collected advertising metadata to correlate accounts.

Because in the future you can also wait to spend less money in the future future for a better better device :)

No really, in that sense you want to jump in just after a significant change, to get the most out of the ‘new’, now. And they will never be a better time for that than on the first release. (Future changes being typically more diminishingly incremental as time goes on, at least relative to that point in time.)

At least that’s my take the argument.

Hey Julien, very nifty!

Can you comment on the inspiration/ similarity with the Laravel Debugbar [1]? I noticed your GH says "Laravel by Night" :)

Right. I'm just highlighting from a different angle the point of the main article: KYC "protections" are not implemented to protect human people.

If that was the intention they'd be applied equally in all legal contexts like re: DMCA claims, but the fact that they aren't shows the intentions of regulators for KYC in practice.
I've seen this exact same fallacy happen several times throughout my career, which isn't even very long.

I think in many cases it boils down to some subtype not being identified and evaluated on its own. As in your case it's especially impactful, and yet IME also usually where these kinds of things get improperly prioritized, when it's a user's first impression or when it occurs in a way that causes a user to have to just sit and wait on the other end as these are often "special" cases with different logic in your application code.

OTOH sometimes users try to weird/wrong/adversarial shit and so their high failure rate is working as intended. But it pollutes your stats such that it can hide real issues with similar symptoms and skew distributions.
I have dealt firsthand with all of those things, I didn't make them up. It can't be a mere "pretext" if it's real. I think there's more to the story than just SFH vs multi-unit, of course, but there's a pretty strong correlation in my experience, much stronger than anything racial.
Do u have any data behind this?
For sure. It's absolutely NOT the expectation, but there definitely exist people whose talent is in people-managing with little to no domain expertise.

IMO, whether one of these individuals can be used is the distinction of whether a role is line supervisor or management. Line supervisors need the subject knowledge to teach fresh hires and know how to identify and fix problems caused by slackers. Management would rely on the senior employees for mentorship and keep their ear to the rumor mill to identify suspect underperformers.

> KYC isn't about protecting individuals - it's about protecting the system (financial and geopolitical) as a whole.

At the cost of individual privacy.
Not immediately, but internalizing the cost of parking could nudge two-car households towards becoming one-car households, or encouraging people to carpool instead of owning.
Proponents of KYC also never backed their policies with empirical evidence of their effectiveness; the onus should be on them to prove that KYC is effective enough to justify the inconveniences and privacy violations it entails.
I'm trying to get a sense of how common this is. In California, for the whole year of 2023, there were 9,280 cases, according to the article. But...

The majority of people who contract valley fever - some 60 percent - will never know they crossed paths with killer spores, because their immune system is able to rapidly vanquish the fungal intruder.

Whereas "between 1% and 5%" reach a stage with multiple serious symptoms (which can include death) -- so, between 92 and 460 Californians. But no stats on what subset of those numbers end up as fatalities.

Among the whole U.S. population of 331 million people, "approximately" 200 die annually from the disease. (Which I believe comes out to .00006042296 percent).

Still, I guess the larger point stands. Climate-induced weather changes could bring numerous unintended side effects, which include increased prevalence of some diseases.

Curious about numbers. Many people underestimate the scale of business in general, because they're not good at intuiting extremely large numbers. For example, an abuse tech might see 10,000 pending cases for the month and say "Wow, we catch so much fraud with this technology", but if there are a billion transactions per month, then it's very possible that those 10,000 cases represent only 1% of the million fraudulent transactions and only 1 in a thousand transactions is actually fraudulent.
Your comment is quite naive and doesn't understand the damage KYC and AML laws do to businesses. The GUBMINT BAD because they effectively gave financial institutions the right to decide who can do business and who can't. That means effectively deciding the winners and losers. They can ban and deny any company from accepting payments only behind the ruse of KYC and AML laws. They don't have to tell you why (security thru obscurity). Let's take OnlyFans. OnlyFans can accept payments using Stripe and other payment processors. Now try to make your own OnlyFans. The banks say you can't.

Isn't this what laws are for? Selling porn is legal, yet payment processors decide what you can sell online. And to think they don't decide which company can process payment or not, effectively decides who wins. This is where decentralization and CRPYTO GUD comes from. I don't want a few companies deciding what I can sell online, especially if it's legal, and they hide behind KYC/AML laws afterwards.

Just looking at credit card processing fees where we essentially have a rent-seeking fee that will continually increase and is not even refunded to the merchant when a customer returns something. That's the power the government gave to these financial institutions with these laws.

“It is exceedingly unlikely for anyone to become ill from consuming a meal served on a flight, especially given the rigorous food safety standards and process controls Gategroup adheres to,” the spokesperson said in an email.

Although food poisoning on planes “absolutely happens,” said Anthony Harris, chief executive and medical director of the occupational medicine practice HFit Health, “it’s not a terribly common issue.”

My takeaway from our conversations: You’re not any more likely to get food poisoning on a flight than anywhere else.

> If you can still crawl all IDs and figure out if someone has an account that way it helps filter out what username and password combinations to try from previous leaks.

Right, but like I suggested above, if you're able to get any response other than a 404 for an ID other than one you're authorized to access, then that in and of itself is a severe issue. So is being able to log in with that ID instead of an actual username.

Hackers are indeed creative, but they ain't wizards. There are countless other things that would need to go horribly horribly wrong for an autoincrementing ID to be useful in an attack, and the lack of autoincrementing IDs doesn't really do much in practice to hinder an attacker once those things have gone horribly, horribly wrong.

I can think of maybe one exception to this, and that's with e-commerce sites providing guest users with URLs to their order/shipping information after checkout. Even this is straightforward to mitigate (e.g. by generating a random token for each order and requiring it as a URL parameter), and is entirely inapplicable to something like GitLab.

> KYC is being used by many businesses as a convenient gatekeeping tool. A perfect excuse based on a "legal" procedure they are obliged to.

This. Right here. KYC is prone to abuse for censorship, and does anyone believe that it isn't already? Does anyone believe that KYC scores aren't going to eventually be linked to credit scores, ESG scores, perhaps social credit scores someday?
I created an over-the-top Catan game. I started off with a faux treasure chest from HomeGoods. Then replaced the generic board and tiles with laser cut wood ones. The robber was replaced with a hand painted one from Etsy. Everyone has custom dice of their own choosing (some made from stainless steel) and custom colors for their pieces. I also shelled out for a "Longest turn" card to add to the fun.

It's a huge hit.

The problem is that, in Germany and the US, Tesla costs are going through the roof. They can expand in China, but probably don't want it. They can also do it in Mexico, but won't be fast either.

The truth is that China has, through government decision, created a full supply chain for EV production, mirroring their success in other areas. The US is several years behind them. Tesla can invest the money in the US to catch up, but it will be very costly, so probably they won't be able to do what you wish.

Apple does handle returns and I'm not sure what support the average brick and mortar store offers.

Stores don't necessarily own all their inventories (stock consignment) and some products are extremely low risk (e.g. phone cards, gift cards, digital goods, etc.)

Calling it a marketplace seems odd considering unlike in traditional marketplaces, there are no competing merchants selling the same goods. There are no other merchants at all.
Another issue is that likelihoods associated with continuous distributions very often have units. You can’t meaningfully assign “magnitude” to a quantity with units. You can always change your unit system to make the likelihood of, say, a particular height in a population of humans to be arbitrarily large.

I agree on the virtue signaling. I'd prefer to call it "trying to find common values", but yeah, it does fit the definition.

But I disagree about the "supposed to be".

It genuinely strikes me as completely illogical.

Albeit used much less in those circles around here in the EU, I had my fair share of contact with hackers/nerds/geeks/devs/etc that use MacBooks. When asked why they accept working with such a locked down platform the response I got most of the time was "it's BSD, I can run and compile whatever I want".

But that's not the case when it comes to the IPhone. Here right now as an owner you don't have much rights on something that you own.

I sure can see that you simply can be indifferent on that - such as one might have the position to be happy to have an "open" platform on the desk, and a walled garden in their hands. But being in OPPOSITION of having those who also want the platform in their hand to be open? I still find that very counter-intuitive and strange.

Most of the discussions here are about logical subjects, and positions typically appear to me to be very rational.

But the comments I often see here whenever "EU tries to enforce data privacy laws and enforce free market access" comes up don't appear to be very rational to me. For what I would call the "hacker community" over here in the EU, even when using the broadest possible definition of the word, appears to be cheering in unison whenever - often with the help of that community - another goal post has been moved when it comes to regaining some personal rights.

For me it's now two years that Apple again and again is rejecting to accept an Open Source community app to its store due to it on initial sign-up requiring a connection to an OAuth2 provider in a dedicated browser Windows. Once. As this is a requirement from the OAuth2 provider. Apple is rejecting this again and again on the sole comment that this dedicated browser window opening up once after installation would be a bad UI experience. All while 100,0% of the users of the app are just happy with that, and that the vast majority of apps on the App Store using for example Gitlab as an OAuth2 provider have the exact same flow.

It's two years now that the Android users are happy, and the iOS users have to live with installing one "preflight" version after another.

So yeah, there you have it: Of course I was looking forward to simply providing the app via Sideloading or an alternative App-Store, but by simply ignoring the laws the EU has made with a "come, fine me" attitude, I probably can wait another year before the EU has success enforcing its laws. It's hard for me to grasp that anyone in the developer community could justify Apple blocking both sideloading Apps and installing them via third party app-stores, no matter how much fan posters of any giving company they may pinned to their wall...
It’s probably designed to recognize a very specific code pattern in SPEC, so it’s very unlikely to affect any other code. If it wasn’t so hyper targeted to only kick in for those two benchmarks, then there’d be no issue: it’d just be a common (mis)optimization that happens to help SPEC.
The downside is that if the project decides not to have that in the code, nobody gets it. Example: I suggest to a customer to use it. They decide they don't want it, I can't use it too.
