I don't want to presume, but what you are describing is a theory of how it is supposed to work. That theory holds up for a majority (~80%+ depending on an institution - I am not willing to make more specific statements ) of wires, but remaining 20% can be held up for a variety of reasons ranging from fraud investigation, AML, or OFAC. For those 20% the banking system as it is right now, is a problem.

edit:

"P.S. Non-immediate transfer is a feature and not a bug. "

That may have been true/acceptable before - back when time span between order and payment was greater. If it is a feature, it is a feature for the bank, not the user.
They're fine for non-Indian/non-Chinese.
in algebra, sure. like it or not, everyone is expected to attain some basic level of competency by the end of the course. GP is describing something that sounds like an extracurricular/club activity. grades are not involved, and it's pretty common for students to abuse these sorts of activities to pad out their college applications. as a kid, it was dead obvious who was genuinely interested and who was just doing it for college applications.
There is enormous pressure on web engines to improve efficiency and decrease battery/power spend. With browsers and JS sandbox VMs they are much better equipped to actively manage and spin down idle tasks. Folks get 20+ hours of battery now on M1 macs running tons of Electron apps like Slack, Discord, VSCode, etc. all at once.

The reality is it's far, far easier to write a bad Qt app that sits in busy wait loops locking up an entire core while refreshing UI and destroys your battery (this is a knock on complex native app development, not Qt).
I’m skeptical of Bitcoin as-is for any purpose (except Venezuelan digital gold) and cryptocurrencies generally as a “store of value”, but I can see the value cryptocurrencies could provide by offering some method of getting around the unnecessarily bad transaction systems we have in place today at least in the US.
The "recommended NATO spend" is just another way the US is costing its allies money. Sure, in 2019 Germany only spent $50bn (1.3% of GDP). But if the hypothetical enemy is Russia with a military budget of $65bn, then what's the point of spending $80bn? Especially if you are in a treaty that ensures you don't have to defend yourself alone.
Even if it's only 99.9% vs 99.99% it's still more efficient.
It's a great dev experience, and lets you build desktop applications to users fast. Some purists on HN may jab at it because they know the internals that it ships a whole browser engine, and resource and performance-wise is not optimal. It'll be the similar crowd of people who shun JS frameworks for vanilla JS.
This used to be how It was for Photoshop.

Intentionally or not.

Nowadays it's just not worth trying to install CC without a license IMHO.

Do I trust the tools that will hack a CC license?

No sir, I do not!

My kids "Photoshop" things but they don't use Photoshop.
They recommend free or cheaper tools to each other and that's what they use.
>The issue is that Gimp lost its primary contributor a few years ago (don't know why, he just disappeared), and nobody has really stepped up since.

It's a drive by shit-post is why. Nothing to be learned, just some words, poorly thought out. Nothing to respond to, no intellectual engagement possible.

> Why isn't it illegal to disrupt a market by undercutting the competition in a long-term structural way?

Because you can actually do what the competitor does for cheaper. It sounds like you’re arguing against companies being more efficient than others, which is strange.

If you’re saying companies shouldn’t be able to operate at a loss while competitors don’t, you’re arguing against companies that invest in improvements as well, which is also strange.

How would you structure the law in a way that allows better companies who invest in more efficient systems to win?
Google Nexus One launched with a trackball after the iPhone.

The idea is simply preposterous. You think Steve Jobs, obsessive about secrecy, would let his main competitor Google CEO know about secret iPhone plans?
>>> Reminder that Netflix was a big proponent for axing net neutrality

No, I remember the opposite.

Netflix argues for net neutrality because that forces last-mile internet providers to absorb the bandwidth costs of Netflix's business model.

https://www.theregreview.org/2021/11/10/kim-can-netflix-win-...

' In the original claim, Netflix v. SK Broadband, Netflix invoked a net neutrality argument—based on the idea that internet service providers should treat all content equally—and argued that SK Broadband would discriminate against Netflix by imposing high network usage fees. Netflix also argued that SK Broadband should cover the increased costs of network traffic since it has an obligation to provide internet services to its customers. '
Yeah DDG is just a worse google. If I want to use google I might as well use google.

Some people in the UK may remember this problem at the end of March?
https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/british-gas-eon-websites-crash-me...

So someone I know couldnt submit their meter reading at various times throughout the 31st of March so I did it for them simply by doing a tracert to the server handling the meter readings in question for Eon.

In the time it took for the tracert to complete I was able to log in as them and submit their meter reading!

Before the tracert trick, I too was having lots of problems logging in as them trying to submit their meter reading.

I did the tracert because I was going to VPN to physically get closer to their server, possible even within the same data centre and as it happens it was located on a globally recognised brands scalable cloud server so there was no reason really for these server to not handle all these meter readings!

The cynic in me thinks this was an attempt by some energy firms to consolidate their market positions by messing customers around with higher energy bills which reinforces the adage nice guys finish last, or when looking back over several months, the nice companies go bust!

So some IT staff working for Eon will be getting their comeuppance, because they didnt let their servers scale up to meet demand and the so called free british press are extremely quiet on this point, because they dont want to reduce advertising income!

There are so many legal ways to be criminal!

Yes exactly. He has been "lost" for 3 years. He did not want to just hit the road. Children like warm houses unless something very... very... wrong is going on. He was smart enough to make it this far and dodge getting his name picked up. This article glorifies returning him to caregivers AS AN ADULT and frames him like he's some mank moron.

The family are likely to now, in perpetuity forever, have absolute power over him AS AN ADULT that can't be broken without the order of a judge; likely at a county level, if you want to know what that means... look it up, and it appears no one cares in the reporting. The family will be able to draw a caretaker paycheck from this too.

Even if he does love them and was just... lost or something? The facts in this case are terrifying and it is spelled out in black and white. He would rather never have a name and freeze to death than see them again.

We are, in this thread, I suspect, caring more than anyone anywhere does. This happens to so many people, every day. Lets talk about a pretty woman who I'd guess is neuro typical and is in the public eye for having broken a conservatorship... Britany Spears. Apply that to someone who doesn't have here fame and resources and just got called by the newspaper a slack jawed moron for having just wandered around and not died.

He can stay alive and hide his name for 3 years on the street. I have a feeling he could write some shitty python scripts and make $300,000 a year... but now he's put into the hands of who did him wrong and there is a state paper trail and it's going to be functionally impossible to get him out of that if he wants to all while incentivizing his care takers to keep him looked at as an idiot so they can draw a check.

I am not saying anyone involved feels that way or abuse has happened. I'm saying that the facts stated are happening and undoing the removal of agency with no question from this young man is unconscionable.

Yes... This does assume something VERY negative about the family.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

If he is ever able to exercise his agency, we will never hear about it and it will take years. How did you spend your 18-38? Was it being beaten with appliance cords by a drunk raping uncle who is just so pissed about how you're such a spaz all the time? Yeah, I'm sure the wheels of justice will just sort this out and it's all fuckin' fine.
When you say "credit card" do you mean a card backed by a revolving credit account, or do you mean a card which uses one of the Visa/MasterCard/Discover/Amex networks?

Every debit card I've had for years has also been a Visa card. I don't generally carry a card backed by a credit account for everyday use, but many of the transactions I make using the card which is backed by my bank account run through a "credit card" network.

It's not clear from your description which of the downsides you list would actually apply to this situation.
I've been building a web api fuzzer for the last couple of months, and this weekend has been a good opportunity to make some progress.

I built it because I'd been participating in a couple of bug bounty program and felt like I was just trying random mutations to see what broke things.

There are other web fuzzers out there, but they're super limited. They test each piece of API functionality in isolation, whereas my fuzzer can test sequences of calls that depend on each other.

I'm also trying to improve my drawing skills. It's a bit of a struggle, as it takes a lot more patience than most things I do on a daily basis.
I'd like to launch a campaign for my startup users to have the possibility to participate in our seed round.

Hello Zed.
I didn't actually read whole LPTHW, but LCTHW helped me a lot.
I recommended LPTHW to some friends of mine, who were interesting in programming but had no experience at all.
Few years later and they are doing programming for living.

It is their way of dealing with the stress of this world.
I am an application security professional, and I created this account in order to make this post after reading many of the comments on this thread.

Many of the comments have great suggestions. However, very few talk about the most important part of creating mitigations and designing key management/crypto. What is the security target?

Before throwing new designs at a problem, the attackers and attack vectors must be defined. If you don't know who you are guarding against and what they will do (and what data they will steal), then how can you possibly say what is a good mitigation??

One might argue that the threat is obvious, but I'll guarantee you that there are dozens of threats here. List them. Prioritize them. Then mitigate them. It is helpful to fully understand the problem/solution space before jumping in with pepper's, salt's, extra databases, and solutions.
If your only concern is the cost of bandwidth, then the solution is simple. Just move off Amazon to some other provider that does not rip you off bandwidth charges.
In this thread we learned: computers are no longer powerful enough to deal with the complexity of timezones for us so we should make humans do extra work.

That's kind of misleading (not your fault, I'm sure...the tech press has done a terrible reporting job).

He was President of the National Cable Television Association, the major cable industry trade group. They did do lobbying, but he left that job in 1984. At the time he held this position, it was just about television. The members of NCTA did not offer internet service or telecommunications services, for the simple reason that there was no public internet yet. The cable companies were all relatively small--the consolidation that led to the small number of giant companies we have now had not happened yet.

The other telecom group he was involved with that does lobbying is CTIA, which is the major trade group for cellular and wireless. He was their President from 1992 to 2004. As I said, they do some lobbying. They also do a lot of testing and evaluation of devices, develop standards and certifications, administer the short code system, put on a couple major trade shows, do safety campaigns and educational programs to teach responsible wireless use (e.g., don't text while driving), and assorted other things along those lines.

The regulations for wireless phone service he negotiated with the FCC in the mid '90s are similar to the Title II proposal that seems to be on the way--which is an approach that the current CTIA objects to for internet. (And note that this approach worked well for phone. All the carriers massively expanded their infrastructure, cellular voice is quite competitive, ubiquitous, and cheap).

Between those positions, and after the latter, he's been involved with a bunch of companies as founder, President (or CEO or similar), or board member. These have been in a variety of areas, including aerospace component repair, investment banking, wireless providers, cloud services, and content providers. (He's also was on the PBS board, and was a trustee of the Kennedy Center, and wrote a couple history books on the civil war--he seems to have very wide interests).

Taken as a whole, he's been involved heavily in organizations or companies that have reason to be on pretty much every side of any telecom issue, so if he does have some prejudice toward any past employer there is no reason to believe it would be toward ISPs. His actions certainly don't show signs of pro-ISP prejudice, considering that most of his proposals have pissed them off.

Replace marketers with, say, blacks, Jews, or any other minority group and all you have here is the standard template of the bigot wrapped up in fancy words with a technical twist. "I like gays, some of my best friends are gays, but ..."

The first paragraph assures us the author respects marketers, and then suddenly it's "marketing people and SEO people and whatever people doing their branding and paradigm shoving and optimizing through pipelines or down funnels or up pyramids of pigs with too much mascara". I can no more get behind stereotyping of marketers than I can any other group in society.

At least the author has the insight to admit they are being a dick.

For anyone interested in homebrewing, I strongly recommend reading Jim Palmer's How To Brew [0]. It's available for free online and does a great job explaining the basics of brewing, while also including details about the chemistry behind what happens during the brewing process. It's much easier to brew an ale than making the lambics described in this article.

Why do you need full color or any of the other things you mention to read novels?

When it comes to textbooks or art books, yes. Monochrome is fine for novels.

A lot of the interviewees in this article don't understand the difference between decriminalization and legalization.
I think most women would be offended to be proposed to with a ring from a prior attempt. It's also common now for the woman to help pick out the ring, as tastes vary a lot.

I'm not sure about family rings. I don't really have any evidence regardless, just going off personal experience.
My CS degree was a sandwich course (UK), I did 2 years at college, a full year working for an employer (of my choice, the college had the power of veto) and a final year back at college, I did a postgrad after.

The industrial training year was the only thing of real value. It taught me professional discipline and the importance of delivering what the customer wanted, and of finding out what they wanted if that wasn't clear at the outset. Everything computer specific I learned on my course (compiler theory?) was either irrelevant, outdated at the time, or became so shortly after.
You seem to be conflating neutrality and objectivity with bipartisanship. It's pretty obvious that there is only one party in the USA that even pretends to value neutrality and objectivity, and it's not the party that elected Donald Trump.
You... you do realize that you can’t order a PC laptop with a Mac trackpad, right? No one is like, “I could have the Mac trackpad for the same cost, but I prefer the stuttery trackpad that moves the cursor and selects shit when my palm gets too close”.
https://github.com/pyramation/totp/blob/master/packages/totp... yes in the notes of the source here

The first TOTP implementation I wrote was here was much less efficient, literally the algorithm in steps: https://github.com/pyramation/learn-totp/blob/master/package...

That gist is essentially the pure TOTP algo, but it was missing what we use in industry practice that the RFC was missing... base32 encode/decode.

So I implemented a base32 encode/decode so that the TOTP algo actually works with google authenticator and authy https://github.com/pyramation/totp/blob/master/extensions/%4...

When I found the gist, while the original code worked, the gist was much smaller (used more efficient bitwise operations) and the gist author I collaborated briefly and decided to combine the gist and the code for OSS
> You can't focus on the product without analytics

This is provably false. You do not need intrusive analytics to develop fantastic products.

Have people somehow forgotten about good old-fashioned user testing? It is expensive, time consuming, and amazingly effective. Most importantly you can actually talk to your users because they are people instead of data points.

User feedback >>> analytics.
Whoever wrote this seems to have an extreme hatred of Ruby on Rails. I've personally never used it, but... wow, that was a lot of hate.
So, it looks like they now admit that neutrality is a good thing, but they say not to worry, because it's impractical for ISPs to actually discriminate. The documented cases of anti-p2p traffic shaping, large-scale deep packet inspection, and the eagerness of ISPs to secure their rights to do those things without even telling consumers all prove that the Cato Institute's analysis has not yet converged with reality.

I think the GP meant "If the soil has been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years, how does it contain mammoths that lived < 10000 years ago".

Either the permafrost is younger than "hundreds of thousands of years" or the mammoths are older than 4000 years.

Mammoths lived from 5 million to 4000 years ago, so it could be either.

Edit: after some research it looks like both are right. Some permafrost in Yukon formed 700 000 years ago, some permafrost formed during the last ice age 10 000 years ago, some formed in the little ice age 400-150 years ago. That's not a complete list but you get the point.

> Nyarlatothep 2020: The Dark Pharao for President!

He's standing for Prime Minister of the UK, but in his views, that doesn't disqualify him from running for president too. No "dirty laundry", so to speak.
This is just the start. As software becomes less specialized and more engineers are less skilled (ie. coming from boot camps, self taught, etc), you’ll see a lot more organizing efforts which means more union busting. Workers deserve rights, including the right to organize.
Generous severances (of the sort that might accompany the dirt) usually come with a generous non-disclosure agreement, so that makes sense.
p-adic numbers are actually quite simple; so simple, I've actually seen children invent it on their own!! They're just like ordinary decimal notation numbers, except instead of allowing these to extend infinitely to the right (as in 3.14159...), you allow them to extend infinitely to the left. So, in addition to familiar numbers like 45 or 67.8, you also have numbers like ...95141.3 or ...999 or what have you.

You add and multiply these according to the same rules you're already familiar with. So, for example, if you add 1 to ...999, the last digit of the output is 0, and you get a carry. Making the second to last digit 0, with another carry. And so on and so on, making the result ...0000 over all. Thus, ...999 acts like -1.

(If we were working in base two, this last example would be just like the "two's complement" you are perhaps familiar with from computer arithmetic!)

In fact, most discussion of p-adic numbers isn't done in base ten. Instead, people typically focus on p-adics in a prime base (hence the p). Why? Because in a prime base, you will find that every nonzero p-adic number has a multiplicative inverse, which is very convenient (while in a composite base, you will find that sometimes nonzero numbers multiply to zero). But there's nothing actually stopping you from making use of the notion for non-prime base, should you be interested in doing so; the notion is still perfectly coherent. (That having been said, another reason mathematicians focus on p-adics in prime bases is that the Chinese Remainder Theorem essentially allows one to reduce the study of all other bases to this case.)

There's a lot of beautiful further theory to explore here, but again, the basic idea is hopefully quite simple. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to try explaining further or more clearly.
