Do you believe Amazon should be barred from leasing movies for its prime catalog on anything other than a perpetual basis?

ok retard

This has nothing to do with Amazon being broken into. The breach was into a DB for a third party app commonly used by marketplace sellers to organize their inventory. Amazon's only connection to this is (1) that the db was hosted on AWS and (2) that some of these sellers sold on Amazon (as well as eBay and so on).

Lying about what? Honey is openly and necessarily spyware. It's the nature of any browser extension that sends a detailed web request back to a central server every time you open a product page. There are techniques for reducing the extension's creepiness, such as with k-anonymity-like approaches (which drastically reduces the information content sent back to the central server at the cost of more bandwidth), but Honey doesn't use that. For multiple reasons.

food for thought

This isn't even amazon, it's OnTrac. Clickbait yellow journalism.

> Our it would be, were it not for this problem: how can you tell that someone understands something better than you do? They give you a zero knowledge proof of your inferiority, proving their superiority while keeping you a dumb fuck.

I tried two of these services (KudoHosting and MegaZoneHosting) for hobby projects I didn't care about. Got them both refunded through PayPal because the "SSD" read and write speeds on MegaZoneHosting was measured in the kilobits per second, and KudoHosting just flat out didn't respond to pings after the first couple hours. Now I host my sad hobby projects on AWS Lightsail and it's working fine (at least on the rare occasion I check on them).

so about 6 or 7 Bay Area houses worth?

What's with announcing this for literally the same day the echo buds (also with active noise cancelling) are being released? https://www.amazon.com/Echo-Bu...

So 40 goods that each sold a few hundreds of thousands of times had 6 or more bad reviews (for a rate of some 1 in 50,000)? My return rate on grocery store yoghurt is a couple orders of magnitude higher than that. What's more impressive is that the other 60 of the top 100 best selling goods didn't have 6+ spoiled reviews.

Oh please! Let there be punch the monkey! I miss that cute little fella. NOT!!!

This has been known for decades. I appreciate that some of the /. readership won't be aware of this but there's a lot of other things they're not aware of too. Should a news site be covering all the lesser-known stuff from history? "News for nerds"? More like "Olds for nerds".
