Small correction: visa/mc interchange is 1.2-2.4% + 5-10 cents.[1] And that's what banks get to work with in terms of paying out rewards. It's processors that mark up the rates higher... And that can increase what merchants pay for debit as well.

The biggest merchant ripoff going on right now are processors that charge the same rate for debit and credit. If more merchants knew how cheap debit can be there might be more steering.

Quants are the guys who run the math so that the bat-wielding psychopaths that are traders don't accidentaly shoot their feet off. They usually have PHDs.

They have some prestige on the trading floor.

Edit: They don't literally have bats, you guys. But when the guy who's paying you ~250K a year looks over your shoulder and asks for a risk report, the effect is more or less the same.
They should hire a good web developer, the security "features" on their one source web app if hilarious.
I think that we're as close as we'll get to agreeing - the main contention being the "attacker" part. I'd describe Symantic's data protection product as a rootkit, regardless of who installed it. I'd say the same for the LKMs that I've installed in honeypots.
Both Belgium and Japan have horrific track records of racism, and Japan's remains part of its culture, but the US is unique in that its worst problems with racism have been contained within its own borders. Ordinary Belgian citizens weren't routinely confronted with the Congolese.
Wiping out a species to save a single life is monstrous and absurd. I hope you're not serious.
"Depleting your energy" is a pointless, baseless description. There is this strange perception in our field that introverts are smart

>>for example intelligent conversations with close friends

when in reality, introversion and extroversion are not traits that are inherent to you as a person. Introverts are people who have not spent the time developing social skills. There's no reason to not bias towards extroversion -- the arch-typical extrovert is social because they can be, not because being alone "drains them of their energy".

Are you suggesting a Git user will eventually need to understand it? That's a strike against Git already.

The typical advice -- which you'll see in this thread and elsewhere -- is that anyone who uses git should learn git's internals, and preferably up-front, since apparently that will magically cause git to make sense.

I'm a bit put off by the idea, myself.

> They've set the tone when they deleted a post made by the democratically elected leader of a country.

They set the tone when they deleted one of the most iconic news photos in history; that it got reshared by the democratically elected leader of a country (and then deleted again) was just adding enormous visibility to the tone they'd already set.
" If you only license you have is GPL, it doesn't allow you to use those in a non-Free way"

I consider your wording deceptive. Why do fans of GPL engage in this deception?
Stallman, the FSF and everyone else agrees that MIT, BSD, Apache and other are Free (as in freedom) software licenses and conform to the FSF definition of free software.

Therefore your sentence should be "If the only license you have is GPL, it doesn't allow you to use those in certain Free ways (non-GPL Free ways) or in any non-Free way".

While GPL licensed software is undoubtedly free software, the GPL is not synonymous with free software and by it's nature it is at odds with all other licenses free or non-free. It is incompatible with every other free license.
I agree that the virality of copyleft is incredibly useful to drive adoption and resilience of free software but it is not the only way software can be free.

There are multiple ways to drive software freedom: social pressure, standards, law reform, etc.
Between a project developed behind closed doors with periodical GPL code dumps and no community
and an MIT/BSD/Apache licensed project with a vibrant and involved community I think the latter is a lot closer to the spirit of free software and is a lot more resistant to close sourcing even without the added protections of the GPL.

From the point of view of a user there is not much difference between:

1.a software maker deciding to abandon the GPL and release future versions of a project as closed source

2.and a software maker deciding to incorporate MIT/BSD/etc. code into a closed source project

And both are equally vulnerable to being turned into SAAS.
The GPL does not guarantee software freedom for the users unless there is no CLA (and there are multiple copyright holders like in the case of Linux) or in the case of a CLA there is some other agreement like the Qt-KDE.

To make clearer the issue MIT/BSD/Apache/etc. projects have with the GPL think of it like this: It is the same issue you would have if you have a GPL project and you want to use an AGPL library or if someone creates improvements to your GPL project and releases the combined work (yours + his/hers improvements) under AGPL.
> Debit card gets stolen - All my money is taken out of my bank. I now cannot pay my rent or buy groceries. I tell bank, and they start an investigation. Maybe in 90 days I get my money back.

Not true - if you report fraudulent charges the money must be returned to your account within 10 days until the investigation is concluded according to federal law. Many banks will return the money much immediately as well - if yours doesn't, get a new bank.

Visa and Mastercard, who control 100% of the debit card processing in the US, both have 0-liability policies on debit cards, and as the payment processors, they have required banks to follow suit, and to follow an immediate refund policy on fraud as well.

> Now - because 'Blacks are poor and commit a vast amount of crime' - they are justified in indicating this is due to racism - but when White people are poor - your indicating it must be their own fault.

I don't think that was the assertion. I think he was saying the cause it poverty, the reasons for poverty are sometimes shared and sometimes different, but they attribute the source of the cause differently. If I understand him correctly, then his point is that poverty is the cause for problems, not racism, and both white and non-white people often assess the cause incorrectly, but in different ways.

It's not just what you know. I see a good network as a force multiplier. If you have useful skills and can use them to get things done, knowing the right people can provide a lot of leverage.

If you know nothing, well...a force multiplier doesn't help much when you're multiplying it by zero.

Thanks for pulling that out.
I'm hoping these charges are just to squeeze him into testifying, building a bigger case against executives, and the sentence (prison especially) will be substantially reduced. He committed serious crimes but I have trouble believing he was a ringleader.
Unfortunately it is still his. When people sign up, there is a line hidden somewhere that says "This is my living room and you agree you stay here on the condition that you will agree to whatever I might ask you in future".

In a way, some physical metaphor like this one drives the point home well. Though Mark might not say bluntly that "You are in my living room, just adhere to what I order you", he is actually saying something like "I'm not permitting this in my living room because it is an inconvenience to other people".

The ugly truth is 1.3 billion people are guests and no matter how big they are they have to agree with the host.
Mark Zuckerberg Was Always Mark Zuckerberg
Absolutely. I dropped Dropbox some time back, when it became obvious that they didn't respect the user's wishes at all.

This has been a long-standing thing with them - some years back there was some stink about the forced Dropbox branding in the Finder (which we now see is related to this). Many people (including me) found it rude that it insists on adding useless widgets, badging icons and inserting crap in the Finder sidebar. For whatever reason, Dropbox (the corporation) apparently believes that junk to be important enough to their business to disregard what the owner of the machine wants, and now we see the lengths they go through to force themselves on the user.

I used to simply consider Dropbox rude enough to make me not want to use it. Now that I see the company is actively going out of their way to break the intended function of security-related OS components, I now consider Dropbox malware and will begin warning others about the company.

Even with a general policy, they still have to review whether a picture falls within the boundaries of the general policy. And there is no debate that they need a general policy, the debate is over what that policy should look like.

> The case still most often used in law schools to illustrate a director’s obligation is Dodge v. Ford Motor (1919)—even though an important 2008 paper by Lynn A. Stout explains that it’s bad law, now largely ignored by the courts. It has been cited in only one decision by Delaware courts in the past 30 years.

> Oddly, no previous management research has looked at what the legal literature says about the topic, so we conducted a systematic analysis of a century’s worth of legal theory and precedent. It turns out that the law provides a surprisingly clear answer: Shareholders do not own the corporation, which is an autonomous legal person. What’s more, when directors go against shareholder wishes—even when a loss in value is documented—courts side with directors the vast majority of the time.

It seems to me that a lot of strategies to fund the development of open source software are over complicated reactions to our failure to voluntarily fund the infrastructure that technology relies on.

I also have to wonder if instead of coming up with more and different ways to do so we ought to just start taking out our collective wallets and paying for things that are useful without expecting a t-shirt.
You can actually disable a lot of that stuff. It's just like that by default. You can even write your own render loop, if you really want to.
We regulate lots of things already to stop private entities from roaming free and against the interest of the general population.

So just playing the "but it's their walled garden" card does not cut it for me.

For me the question is whether facebook has a significant influence on the population or not. I think they already do when it comes to News, more so than traditional news organizations even. On top of that, they claim to provide an open space for exchange and even discussion.

Personally, I'd therefore like to see facebook being regulated to the point where they cannot simply refuse "service" to people of certain completely legal opinions discussing legal topics, same as they and other businesses should not be allowed to refuse service for certain classes of people.

I wonder why the article mentions this: "Unlike most Windows games released these days, DOOM doesn’t use Direct3D.".

Implementing Direct3d today seems a waste of development time to me and a useless self-restriction to a platform. Why would anyone do that? Is there a source that compares release titles of direct3d games vs opengl/vulkan on windows?
In Austria, you don't need any capital at all, to start a EPU (One-Person-Company) which is really convenient.
Not exactly. Google contributed the namespace support to Linux and IBM contributed much of the initial control group bits to Linux. Together, they form the modern "container" that we have all came to know and love.
As long as you associate a separate service with each RabbitMQ pod, you can make it work without petsets. (Setting the hostname inside the pod is trivial, just make sure it matches.) Then you can create a "headless" service for clients to connect to, which matches against all the pods.

If you set it up in HA mode, then in theory you don't need persistent volumes, although RabbitMQ is of course flaky for other reasons unrelated to Kubernetes -- I wouldn't run it if I didn't have existing apps that relies on it.

I'm thinking the target audience is other game developers.

Most modern game engines have most of the features they talk about (the article really good about linking to sources), but those pieces are organized in a different manner so you end up with different restrictions, changes in performance, or scalability to different hardware / scenarios.

The novel thing here is how they put together the pieces, not the pieces themselves. Most cutting edge articles are about a specific technique, so it's really good to see how it all fits together in an article like this.
Really, the engineer is the fall guy. Yes he's at fault but what kind of QA system does a billion dollar car company have that one person carried on a sham for decades. No way he was alone! Top management needs to be grilled on what really happened. At the very least the VP of the division that manged the emission controls for the company needs to be charged with some felony.
I bet that If he would have said something early on he would have been called a hero. Now he's a felon.
This is a real learning moment for us techies. If you see something illegal, report it to the proper authorities and run don't walk out of the company. Companies will find a scapegoat to blame. "Hey you seem like a good choice as any," be ready for it.

Value isn't absolute, but a relation between the valuer and that being valued.

Of those countries mentioned only South Africa is one on-par with the level of consistent, simmering racial tension as the US.

France, Greece, Norway, Germany they all have their minority populations for various reasons, in the case of France and England it's largely due to colonial history, but there's an important distinction here.

In none of these cases were the minorities imported as slaves and then emancipated and later systematically discriminated against, marginalized, and basically left to die. Although some of these countries participated in slavery, the legacy of those policies lives on in places like Brazil and various ex-colonies in the West Indies.

> Sure, maybe the ideal might be similar to Canada, Australia, or Great Britain, all of which are predominantly single-race societies.

Wrong. Canada has a significant indigenous population, as does Australia. Great Britain has several groups with a very strong identity that do not always get along. The simmering tension in Northern Ireland is, to this day, a serious problem that's largely along religious/cultural lines. Canada is not immune to criticism here, but these groups were never kept as slaves, nor forcibly segregated. Where discrimination exists, and it does, it's often personal attitudes that need to be fixed, not the express policy of any local government.

The problem with America's racism is unlike Poland or Lithuania where minorities are rare, America has states with a significant population of African-American or Latin-American people that to this day are treated very, very poorly.

Demographically America is on track to be a "majority minority" country within decades. That's a sign that as a country America needs to get its shit together and deal with its past.

> Sure, you could go to trial and find yourself not guilty, but then the prosecution files an appeal and you have to keep paying a lawyer.

In the US, the prosecution can't appeal a verdict in a criminal trial. In some cases, you could be tried for the same crime in a different jurisdiction though (likely with a different prosecution as well).

All Adam Curtis films are thought-provoking ( he's as easy to disagree with as he is to agree with ) but the one that covers this is "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace".

This film "accuses" modern environmentalism of being an artifact of systems-think that arises from the computer industry. It thinks that the whole idea of a perfect environmental equilibrium comes from that.

It also marries "computer perfectionism" to Neoliberalism in interesting ways. I don't recall if he brings up Adam Smith's "Man of System" as a "villain" here but that seems obvious enough.

I think it rather ignores people like John Muir but it's an interesting idea and worth chewing over.

Obviously, I suffer deeply from this same bias myself :)
