From your comment I assume you are American, since I heard that people pack your bags at your stores. In Germany and probably most of Europe a typical checkout process works differently and probably solves the problem.

1. You put your stuff on a large transport band, emptying your cart (probably have those as well)
2. When you’re up you move your cart at the large area after the cashier
3. The cashier registers everything and pushes it to you into that big area
4. You put everything in your bags while they are working
5. Cashier finishes, you make your payment
6. You pack the last 3 items that are remaining

Some stores also introduced a simple “switch” that makes the products of the person after you slide into a seperate area, to save time .

Just leaving a “Aber die Spaltmaße” comment here.

But also the deciders in the dev studios, that take the money even if it doesn’t fit or don’t integrate it properly.

I don’t mind a little ad in the menu, about stuff directly related to game I’m playing. Those little “Hey we released a new content dlc to this exact game” infos can actually be informative. What I really can’t stand is stuff breaking the immersion of the game. I’m not even mad about product placements, when they fit the theme and are sparsely used.

How to buy a company, without actually buying the company.

They need to keep the criminals at bay.

It’s awesome how much you can pack on a horse. A 4tb Samsung 990 Pro weights 9g. Let’s say a horse can carry 450kg. Thats 450.000g / 9g/4tb = 50.000 × 4 tb = 200 pt. Latency is shit though.

Absolutely right, but nobody should expect it to be a perfect solution to all the problems.

I’d like to see such a rule, but doubt that there won’t be any loopholes to circumvent it. You can already see some of those in sports. There are a lot of stories on how clubs “dealt” with financial fair play in european football and I heard rumors of a similar thing with the american salary cap too.

Just some ideas:

• ridiculously long contracts with “fair” pay
• managers are working for a seperate company that only contains managers
• seperate overpayed contracts for a none existing job
• material/service based rewards like private jets

All in all good luck with finding a politician pushing this through (most lf the are exactly in those positions) and finding all the loopholes. Rich people can pay a lot of experts to become even richer

$250 seems like a normal price for Apple peripherals.

Nice, last time the actual installation was finished in about 1.5mins. Guess I wont play it at all.

All of that points are valid questions to be solved for an implementation. I want to add another one: Which part of the users profit from this?

Most users don’t give a fuck which browser they use as long as it’s working. They cannot comprehend most information you described in your questions and want a simple solution. The other part of users usually knows how to install and select a browser of their choice on a PC. After all it’s not that hard with the current OS choices available anyway.

Probably not, but it strongly depends on the implementation by Amazon, if it has any effect.

A book in one language yes, but don’t forget translations. Books of famous writers are sometimes released in multiple languages on the same day.

Funny thing is: I’m probably quicker typing a 20 character password than finding out which symbol is at index 5.

Sorry, I misunderstood your post. They could do this by doing the process I described above AND storing parts of your password. Without further research, this sounds insecure though.

E.g. your password is: SuperSecure? The hash of your password is: 15837A4C3B Your client sends the hash and the characters 0,2,4 to the server: S p r They can then ask you for single digits of the password.

Another possibility is that they could encrypt the characters with a key to build a more secure value to transmit. As the others have said, this is possibly unsecure too.

In general: it’s services are either comfortable to use or secure. You can achieve both on a basic level, but not on a higher level.

There are at least two components relevant for entering credentials:

• the webclient running on your pc/phone

• the company server

You open a registration page on a website and your browser downloads the application to your device (just like downloading an app from a store).

The application gives you a form to create an account or a login page where you enter the password/username.

The client then checks if the credentials you entered contain the correct amount of special characters and numbers.

Only after that the credentials are hashed/encrypted and send to the server.
