There doesn't seem to be much information publicly available regarding how payment networks manage transactional FX risk exposure, but I did find this:

MasterCard enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments, typically in the form of foreign currency forward contracts, to manage risk associated with anticipated receipts and disbursements which are either transacted in a non-functional currency or valued based on a currency other than its functional currencies. MasterCard also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to offset possible changes in value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. MasterCard does not engage in proprietary trading of derivatives. Its objective for entering into transactions in derivative financial instruments is to reduce exposure to transaction gains and losses resulting from fluctuations of foreign currencies against its functional currencies. MasterCard engages in derivatives transactions solely and exclusively for the purpose of hedging foreign currency exchange risk incurred in the operation of its business.

As noted above, MasterCard has approximately 20,000 customers, and processes payment card transactions from more than 210 countries and territories. MasterCard derives approximately 60% of its revenue from outside of the United States. Given the global reach of our company, we are deeply impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the operation of our business. MasterCard generates revenues and incurs expenses that are either transacted in, or valued based on, currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. For example, MasterCard charges its customers assessment fees for various services it provides to its customers, including the use of the MasterCard brand globally. These assessment fees are typically a percentage charge on a customer's total volume of transactions incurred on MasterCard-branded cards. Because of MasterCard's global presence, transactions effected in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. Dollars and the percentage charge (i.e., assessment fee) is calculated on this converted U.S. Dollar volume. Hence, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates impact the amount of U.S. Dollar assessment revenue MasterCard collects. Similarly, given our global footprint, we make significant expenditures and incur significant contractual obligations to make future expenditures in countries around the world for commercial activities, such as marketing, advertising, payroll and operations. These expenditures and obligations may be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. This exposes MasterCard to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. In addition to our transactional exposures, we also hedge balance sheet assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. From time to time, MasterCard is also exposed to foreign exchange risks arising from overseas acquisitions.

It sounds like a reasonable plan to me. I didn't even know longlines-mode was obsolete.

Would suggest that obseletion messages should also have optional space to include suggestions about what packages are not obsolete that may fill the same space. I had to google for "visual lines mode" being the successor.
It's a Russian proverb[1] made famous by Ronald Reagan during the cold war.

Offtopic: before today, I was unaware of the (alleged) Russian roots of the statement and assumed Reagan coined it.

What's the whole story here? Is it because he created a way for people to create routes, and is not using the official Google Maps API method for creating/showing routes? If he just altered his app to use Google's approved method, would he be fine?
> Do you think it would take 2 weeks or less than a hour if the browser affected was Google Chrome?

I'd be inclined to agree, but then Google did start spam-binning its own security notifications a while ago and didn't seem to notice until Linus Torvalds started blogging about the rise in spam false positives. "Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - that is the Google motto, after all. ;)
QThat is what corporate blogs are for.
Nothing wrong with it if the content is interesting, which in this case it is.
Yes, they offer the best rates out of any card I have ever seen. I use them for travel outside the Eurozone. They allow to keep money in EUR, USD and GBP at the same time.

Note that it's classified as electronic money under British law so much worse fund protection than a bank account if any. I wouldn't keep much money there.

They say that they will Charge fees after the first year of using it but haven't said how it will look like yet. Until now they haven't charged anything. They have planned some new features for tommorrow but I don't know what to except.
How would that work ? She teased him to the point of him rage-invading the stage ?
In a broader sense I'd say it's also a societal problem. Growing up in a more traditional society as well as a Christian community, I had to deal with a huge variety of people and opinions on a regular basis, whereas nowadays the default is to associate with 'people I like', which tend to be people I agree with. And because others do likewise, it's difficult to actively counteract that, much as I try.

Of course there were some strong biases in these 'older' communities too (views on sexuality, abortion, etc.), but generally speaking people inside them varied greatly in political views, social class, upbringing, lifestyle, habits, and so on. It gave a face to many opinions that I would consider offensive or dangerous, and by extension an understanding and empathy that is much more difficult to have these days (for me).

I fear for the future of our societies (and social safeties) in part because of this. Changing views often starts with mutual respect, and that's much more difficult to do when opinions get separated from those who hold them, and when interaction is increasingly opt-in.
I think this is awesome? I'm not entirely sure though.
Apparently "airplane passenger seat safety card" as a web comic style can be implemented better than expected. I wouldn't mind seeing more.
It's all zoning. Which means it's all politics. At best you can come up with some historical explanations for how certain neighborhoods evolved, but really it is practically random.
BoltDB can be imported as a library and can persist data in a file so you can use it as an embedded database – meaning you don’t need a separate data store.

Serious question: BoltDB something like a Key Value store equivalent (congruent?) to SQLite?
I can't tell how this Routebuilder thing is any better than just right clicking and 'distance to here'?
I pretty in doubt the American economy will be booming in an observable future. And debt is growing faster than GDP: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=us+government+debt+vs+u... , so I'm still in question how economy will survive without debt money supply.
Music sales /= music (although there's an interesting debate to be had on that)
This is on Stuart Sierra's personal blog, so it's just him sort of thinking out loud. He's got a lot of that on his blog, and a lot of it is really valuable. I refer to it often when I want to get some new ideas on different ways to do things in Clojure.
However rescuing a startup/project is good as a contractor. Did it more than once and it is rewarding in both experience and money.

If you can live with an in-memory store (with or without a roll-your-own persistence model) then there are all sorts of lighter-weight alternatives to redis. It's when you need to share the data with multiple processes that tools like redis or etcd really shine.

This seems like a youthful way to approach music. At some point in your adult life, you have enough of a self-identity that most of this no longer applies... in music, technology choices, or anything. To me, you are just describing how people first learn to engage with the world, not how older folk actually live it.

I guess that does parallel tech, though - the youth follow the trends, while labels/VCs drive certain cherry picked groups to success, while at the same time, us older folk live in quieter places, create our own works, do our own thing, and live satisfying lives, not really being impacted by whatever the tribes currently label as "mainstream".
That benchmark is amazing. I remember wanting to prototype an HTML5 tower defense game a number of years back but couldn't overcome the performance issues as more and more sprites were added. I may need to revisit...
As an addendum: An example of capital structure. (Based on debt capital rather than equity capital, but just an example)

You and Fred have a common friend, Bob. Bob wants to start a new business and needs to borrow money.

First, Bob borrows $10,000 from Fred and later on, Bob borrows $20,000 from you.

Some months go by, and the business isn't doing well; Bob (or rather, his company) eventually files for bankruptcy, listing $6,000 in assets. How should this remaining value be distributed among you and Fred, which both have a claim to it because of the debt owed to you?

One way to divide up the remaining amount would be in a pro rata method: Bob borrowed $30,000 total, 1/3rd of which was from Fred and 2/3rds of which was from you. So, you should get $4,000 and Fred should get $2,000. (This is known as pari passu I believe)

However, this isn't the only way things could be done. One could say that because Fred lent money first, he should get paid back in full before you do. Or perhaps one could argue the opposite.

You could argue back and forth about what the most "fair" way to divide up the assets is, but in reality what matters is what the rules outlined in capital structure specify. They should define who gets paid out first, which debt is subordinate to other debt, etc. (And even then, it's not always entirely clear, as evidenced by lengthy bankruptcy proceedings at large companies)
You are right. I read the link and it seems to be made by an HR consultancy company, and the content of the post has nothing life changing.

It's also interesting to notice that the submitter has never commented on HN but has submitted lots of HR related links.
That's pretty hilarious. I'm sure even if CertSimple won't issue you an EV cert that one of the many providers others will.
Just because Routebuilder was never called out for violating the ToS doesn't mean it wasn't. Nor is there a "statute of limitations" for violations. What's even more insidious is that the "duplicating GM functionality" is a) vague and b) a moving target. Just because Routebuilder wasn't violating a decade ago doesn't mean it's not violating now.

This is the risk you take building something on top of an API—access can be cut off at any time.

I have been using jOOQ for quite some time. Indeed, it's the only mechanism (definitely not an ORM) to access the database that we use in my company.

From my own experience, and this is general consensus, it's a big win to use it. Its SQL inspired fluent syntax brings you back the power of SQL, including really advanced stuff. But at the same time, in a Java native manner, type safe, by the way.

If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should.

Everyone here has probably heard Space Oddity. Until recently that was the only song of David Bowie I've known. But then, thanks to The Martian, I found this one, Starman:

Really, go listen to it. It's just beautiful. It captures imagination and hope for the future. And I think it has a perfect message for us, about both his legacy and our responsibility.

There's a starman waiting in the sky

So, "Let the children lose it", and let's build a better world for them.

Thank you, David Bowie.
I rather like that definition, whilst still being repulsed by the ideas of the experiments which might be required to accurately determine the boundaries...
It takes way more fuel to reach a dead stop in orbit than it does to just nudge yourself down into the atmosphere and let friction do the work for you. Waaaay more. And you have to lift all that extra fuel into orbit with you, which means even more fuel.
That is a pretty small nitpick you've got there ;)

It's a bit like saying "don't they know human flight existed before the Wright Bros." or "don't they know cars predate the Model T?"

Of course, but the iPhone (and subsequently Android) presented a gigantic turning point in mobile development, to such a degree that mobile development can largely be categorized into "pre-iPhone" and "post-iPhone".

Pre-iPhone mobile development was a vanishing small industry compared to today and used technologies that are largely completely not around today (see: J2ME, Symbian, Windows CE).

So yeah, maybe they could've said "mobile development in the modern context centered around multitouch-centric interfaces using soft keyboards has only been around 8 years", but that's kind of a mouthful, and unless we're trying to write an accurate history of mobile software, not particularly relevant to anything.
The weird thing is when everyone else doesn't mind these, so you can't catch it with #7. My current job has stuff like:

- Long hours that people just do willingly (i.e. no one asks them to)

- Spent money on making office look nice, yet have desks from Ikea

But everyone else thinks it's the best place to work ever - "OMG, let's have beers! At work! OMG!"

William Burroughs Interview with David Bowie
Kind of bizzare considering USG usually tends to stay far ahead of the curve when dealing with technology that has potentially profound national security implications.

It's basically impossible to have a plan of response for something that nobody even knows how to build. That said, we have a lot crisis action plans that might apply depending on whatever actions are happening. It would likely fall into the realm of contingency plans that have "Complex electromagnetic environments" as core assumptions.

While I use TransferWise for getting paid by clients in other countries, I rely on http://currencyfair.com for my own money movements.

The typical "catch" in most FX services is a hidden 2.5% - 5% fee in the exchange rate itself. You might be offered free, better rates than your bank! and will still be paying 2%.

The likes of CF or TW have got this fee down to well under 1%, although TF certainly give every impression of skimming off the rate for amounts under $1,000.

(at least, that's the impression the rate on their website calculator gives; I've only used larger transfer than that, and can't say anything from experience)
First:

WebAssemly will have a readable text format for view-source functionality: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/TextFormat...

Second:

"...so much easier to spy on people and hide all kinds of nastiness in web applications."

What kind of spying and nastiness? WebAssembly will not have more access to your data than the JavaScript API. It will have access to the same API as JavaScript. For example if it wants your location it will call the same HTML5 location API and with the same restrictions, with the permission popup. Or setting cookies will also call the same API. And thanks to the built-in developer tools in browsers you can check the outgoing requests to see what is sent and to where.

Three times a day is certainly not a hard rule - its just a habit.

During busy times at work, I can get down to once every other day. Its not hard. Its all about being distracted from hunger long enough to put it in the background.

As for how often we 'need' to eat, that's not clear. Three times a day is absolutely a made-up number. Cultural, not biological. And of course how many snack all day long? How many 'meals' is that?
I agree with your thoughts on the decision making behind NASP. Even while it was still COPPER CANYON, doubts were being raised. Most of the big decisions to proceed seem to have been made after relatively brief presentations with limited technical detail or discussion. NASP was a case of selling a big picture without stopping to ask how possible it really was.

Personally, I find the X-33 more frustrating as this got far closer to flight and although it may never have led to VentureStar it would have been a great hypersonic testbed

For software jobs, if the coding interviews are too easy it's likely you will be working with people who are not very skilled, both because the low bar allows poor programmers in and because it's a sign that the people putting together the interview aren't very good. And of course that means you're likely to be working with lousy code, and we all know how much fun that is.

The guarantee I prefer is "If there's a segfault and you didn't write `unsafe`, it's not your fault". This is not necessarily referring to a single change, but rather the application as a whole. Dependencies like libstd are ignored here .

As soon as there's any `unsafe` in your code, you've unlocked hard mode and everything is probably your fault.

They are not the same and probably many modern ORM's share more in common with jOOQ than Torgue has in common with jOOQ. An example would be schema generation. jOOQ is reverse schema based. You make your schema with whatever schema evolution tools you like (Flyway is the most common) and then run the code generator. Torque is the opposite (notice they say starting point not final) not to mention its also XML based.

Oh and jOOQ has an extremely powerful DSL that is close to 1-1 with SQL and whole bunch of reflection based conversion abilities (including dotted path data binding which I am happy to say I inspired the author of jOOQ to add :) )

We plan to deliver some of our applications through web applications/services over the next few years. I've touched on Javascript a bit but as of this moment, I have very very limited exposure to web development of any kind.

I've only been programming for just over three years though, so I'm still kind of in my junior stage.
