Way down they say "Optionally, configure encrypted logging with TLS." but don't mention it in the intro paragraphs, or that it's a best-practice, or that people should do it... just that it's "optional".
I'd suggest signing up for the service and looking at the actual user-facing setup UI (which is how users arrive at these pages). I think it's really hard to miss in the UI, but if you disagree or even just have suggestions how to make it even more obvious, email them to Papertrail; they're responsive.
Come help make logging better. New tech makes logging cheaper and faster, help us spread the word and make customers successful.
At Wrble we have an engineering-first culture and are looking to hire people with technical backgrounds that are tired of the software-grind and want to look at other adjacent positions.
Both positions are fully remote now and in the future.
It’s likely a totally different product, the seeds just give a verified shipping history. They review the other product on their own account that “ordered” the seeds. The seeds are cheap and make it untraceable back to the original product.
The purpose of a ban isn’t to prevent fraud on Amazon, it’s to prevent unwanted seed from entering the country.
I don't see how it helps though. The product page for such scams doesn't show "seeds". It's an actual product, but the seller sends seeds. Banning the sale of seeds doesn't stop this.
Protect the country's ecosystem by a species that may 'invade' and take our existing flora [0],[1].
If 5% of the recipients want to do something "green" and plant these in a park/forest near them, without knowing the impact.. well 10-20 years from now you may have wiped out other more useful and necessary species.
Understood, but the question is still: how does this affect the actual trend of sellers gaming their metrics via seed shipments? Those seeds aren't actually being ordered. They're just a cheap, light item to ship to get a tracking number.
It was already fraud before this rule. It's not like the scammy seller is going to obey this rule when they're already flouting the more fundamental ones.
I think this comment has the right idea [0]. Amazon has two problems with seeds:
1. people doing what appears to be a weird scam that involves seeds being mailed across boarders
2. seed sellers on amazon have been flagrantly violate import controls for years.
This new policy seems to be addressing #2, which is important to Amazon now more than ever because of the increased scrutiny caused by #1 making international news.
I've personally bought seeds from Amazon which were declared as "bookmarks" to sneak past US customs.
Yep, I can see how the new policy can help with #2. The news post seems to be suggesting Amazon is doing it to address #1 - which the policy doesn't do anything about.
Gaming the rep system is a fault on Amazon's structure. If people in China are doing this without repercussions then what is stopping other people across the world from doing the same?
If export volume is the only factor, we'd expect to see e.g. Polish companies sending seeds at about 10% of the volume coming from Chinese companies.
One possible explanation is that EU exports frequently stay within the EU, so Polish companies would be more likely to try to get fake reviews from e.g. German customers.
There is also explainxkcd, which displays the title text underneath the picture, and has categorization, searching, explanations (in case there is anything you forgot, or do not know, or just want to read other people's commentary), transcripts (helpful for search, and also to copy the text), and more.
Additionally, if you have user CSS in your browser, you can force it to display the title text even in the official xkcd web pages (CSS has a command to display the text of HTML attributes).
We don’t need to build more things without a market, we need to buy more things that are built right. There’s a surgical mask manufacturer in the states who had capacity a few weeks ago but no hospital would sign a contract, they wanted masks immediately and then go straight back to buying from Asia once this blows over. This same thing could be said for many other categories in the post.
As an old school java dev, love seeing it used here! If you’d like to talk about cloud vs on-prem design, hit me up at the email in my profile. I’ve thought about it a lot.
I give it a bonus point too for being written in Java on my personal, biased, scoring.
Gitlab is a nice product and the open governance is interesting, but I prefer to minimize the time invested in ruby/ror based applications.
Regarding me, it's either Python or Java, because of the support and R&D put into these. Plus it's easier to reuse parts of Java/Python projects in other projects (as they are often written in Java or Python too).
Without the exclusivity agreement, it sounds like you wouldn’t have been reconnected. A community provider probably wouldn’t allocate 70k in capital to bring 3 (potential) customers online.
So you’re benefitting by the subsidy of users in denser areas being forced into exclusivity.
Consider what the community is already investing in these people. The street along which those lines were strung probably cost a lot more than 70k to construct and maintain; why would the municipality draw the line at Internet?
