How would you feel if your ISPs started wanting a cut of all money you made via the internet? After all, it's their house so their rules... Apple have carved out a significant market share of mobile users. They've locked down the

I have never sat down and properly given meditation a go. That said I have encountered it in various walks - through yoga, martial arts and casual meditation sessions. What benefits would you describe you feeling from getting past beginner

Yeah fair. There will be all kinds of audits which would be hard if they couldn't do that

Fair enough. So there is Amazon the retailer. That is what Amazon originally did - buy inventory from vendors then sell them. As Amazon gained scale they launched 3P aka 3rd party selling. This is essentially Ebay at scale. Returns for thes

Yeah - FBA is actually a really awful attack vector. I hope that they internally are able to track sub-ASIN level inventory, otherwise they have made a fantastic laundering platform.

Sure - but that doesn't answer my question: was the product - 3P - Sold by Amazon - Fulfilled by Amazon As a customer with agency, I have the ability to not buy things on the Amazon site that aren't sold by amazon. When FBA stock

When I left Amazon the fastest growing team in the country was the antifraud team and they already had like 2 floors of agents working on it. But I also heard that issues which hadn't occured 3 times in a row were dropped on the floor

I enjoyed your first link. I remember a friend chuckling when she heard me speak chinese because I would speak "yizi yizi" which is very childlike. I still struggle neurologically to tokenize chinese in my head properly. Although

Thank you - this was useful! I hadn't considered that in German compound nouns there will usually only be one way to cut the word which seems obvious now. (edge cases notwithstanding of course) Ofc in chinese (and japanese) the ambigui

For someone in the know, how different is tokenization strategy between Japanese and Chinese? The grammar/sentence structure is different and Chinese does not use kana or qualifiers for things like verbs in the same way but then both h

I remember looking into the STEP after graduating for "fun". They were such classic Oxbridge style questions, sure you can probably game them but as you say, once you've done the graft to game those types of questions, you&

"Proper" makes sense until it doesn't. When you play the piano there are all kinds of recommended fingerings, until you realise that you don't have the same shaped hand as the person who recommended them or you started o

What blows my mind about bucklescript is the compiled output is small and readable. Also because "it's just javascript" making it work with other javascript is much easier than with other examples. The compiler is also FAST T

Don't sleep on Shenzhen. I think China will look to starve HK by moving as much of the HK financial sector to the bay area. I can't speak for what will happen wrt the international links that make HK what it is, but if China pulls

To add to this, Facebook is seen as an existential threat to traditional media so most reporting on it will pass through an editorial lens. Here on HN we are happy to call out the NYT and Bloomberg when they are wrong, but is that only when
