Yes both Revolut and centtrip have marketed their products to only consumers (travelers) where as the concept of multicurrency accounts is very useful to business as well. Not just individuals. The customer acquisition strategy is like Revolut but the larger goal is not (Not that I can say what they have in mind,long term).
Of setting up a global operation like Uber? Of course. My point is that there's no special competitive edge in building that kind of app. It's not like a search engine or another process node improvement in CPU design, where it takes armies of specialists. The hard part of Uber isn't the technology, which anyone can do, it's taking on the regulators.

>> "It struck me how people consumed more of everything. Tech gadgets, food... I think in Europe we are a bit more defiant toward consumerism"

Obviously it depends where you are in Europe. In the UK I'd say we're a lot more towards the American end of consumerism but they still take it much further. Food is the biggest jump for me. I still remember my first time in America and I was out for dinner. My friend suggested we split a meal as the portions were large. I still couldn't finish mine (and I eat quite a lot) and she brought home a doggie bag with enough food for two other people. And this was quite a nice restaurant too where I'd have expected smaller portions.
It means that instead of saving money to be spent later e.g. in retirement, the money is being spent right now in the hope of positive (inflation beating) ROI later.

But what if those investments don't work out? Then you have no savings and won't be able to spend money in the future.

Being able to save money for the long term is fundamental in a society that has long lifespans. Unfortunately government policy is to essentially forbid saving, because forcing people to "invest" their savings pumps employment and GDP stats, which is largely how their success is measured.
What? Yes they do! I unpack dozens of iPhones and Macs at work each year and a charger is included every time. Now, I think this just might be a terminology mix-up as a charger is technically not an "adapter", but e.g. where I live the words are often both used for a charger. I suspect that this is what the parent comment meant.
Interesting. Would the following simplification be a complete mangling of the author's intent:

Donald Trump is a stage 2 adult who has constructed a message that strongly appeals to certain stage 3 people. He has done this not by actually sharing the group empathy typical of stage 3, but rather by using a media feedback cycle to optimize his message for a certain local maximum.

Hillary Clinton is a stage 5 adult who has trouble connecting with both stage 3 and 4 voters. Her lack of fixed values and fluid meta-systematic approach comes off as greed and manipulative self-interest -- and for good reason, because the stage 5 level of operation is so difficult to judge for most people.

Sanders would have been an appealing stage 3 candidate in this race.

Clearly it's the media's fault when all the terrorist's attacks you meticulously mentioned where in Europe or the Americas[1]. Scroll down to the map "The Geography of Terrorism" for proof.

Your world view is inclusive but you failed to include that the dead from terrorrists were about 90% muslims. You're not racist and you don't believe all arabs are bad, yet you speak of the harm the Muslims are associated with.

Muslims are just another a false category for people by religion, they're humans like the rest of us and as I said before a group of fanatics does not make nation or religion bad[2].

We think we're not racist but we ignorantly are, and it's our fault by not educating properly around the facts.

You're assuming that driving cars is an ultra-tight labour market. That's not a correct assumption. There is a relatively limited number of cars you need to have good service compared to the number of people looking for unskilled jobs in major metro markets, even when unemployment is low in percentage terms. If Uber was hiring an army of specialists maybe I'd agree but loads of people can drive.

You have fallen victim to the outcome bias. It is a mistake to attribute the quality of a decision to a specific outcome when the correlation between their determinants is low or unknown. In layman's terms, you don't know that it was her joining Google that led to this particular rise in Google's market cap. It could have been any other number of factors. Even simpler, what you said can be analogized to "I won the lottery while wearing this particular shirt, so it must be my lucky shirt".

Furthermore, statistics show that there is a positive correlation between companies rewarding executives in a bull market, and punishing executives holding the exact same positions in a declining market, thereby making luck and timing, not skill, a main determinant of who eventually makes money (the correlation between how well a company performs and the perceived skill of its executives was determined to be around 10-20%).
I agree with you but would add one thing. The money isn't spent on prisoners, it's spent on private corporations. The actual cost of having a prisoner is likely much less, or the corporations wouldn't exist.
That upfront cost of tens of millions of dollars is spread across tens of millions of units sold. That's why you won't see devices like this aimed at niche markets like "robots controlled by voice and the current wireless headphones we use weight too much".

> For this little experiment, I’ve setup a single KVM instance, running a single 2GHz vCore with 2GIB of RAM and 10GiB of HDD space. This is sufficient. Probing for ftp access is an extremely CPU-intensive task. You are going to hit bottlenecks in this order:
>
> CPU
> Memory
> a whole lot of nothing
> network
>
> While the rescan was running, only about 1 to 2kpps were exchanged, while the CPU was pinned at 100%.

So this means his setup spent about 1-2 million clock cycles per probe. That's a lot!

I suppose this is because he runs the probe script once per IP address? I suspect that an implementation which would stay in-process would be at least an order of magnitued faster.
No it isn't - all it does is shift spending around. Money that could have been saved and spent later is being spent now in the hope that it'll create something of long term value that'll pay off more than invested. This is 'stimulation' in the same way that spiking yourself with coffee in the morning doesn't actually give you more energy in total, it just makes you feel more awake in the present at the expense of needing more recovery later.

Is Uber such a case? Maybe if it ends up with a long term, world wide monopoly on self driving taxi networks. But right now it's ultimately just a taxi firm that's burning vast sums of money giving people cheap rides. It's literally just throwing pensions and university donations onto the street without any plan for how to get that money back.

I live very frugal and I'm happier like that. However, I'm mature enough to understand that the world needs some consumerism to keep an healthy job market. The easier it is to get a job, the easier it is to correct your mistakes/misfortune during life.
I did some reading time ago about the matter, and from what I remember, it's more that some people have strong reactions to most mosquito bites, some only to a few, and some almost never. People who don't have a reaction won't notice they got bitten at all.

It was a real-time system, actually. It wasn't a forum: riders would appear and disappear on the fly as they entered routes, and it did overlap calculations. You just put in your start and end points and it'd match people with quite different start and end points if the trip fuzzily matched subsegments.

I'm a Norwegian (born mid '80s) and feel like this is a rare window into my country's past. A lot of what I have learned at school and trough other typical sources has never been able to give me a neutral and observing perspective.

Remember, the young people of today (below 30y) has only experienced the oil-fueled side of Norway, and a rapidly increasing globalized version of our culture.

I have not read everything yet, but sure will!
You are right about the countries wanting to protect their own banks. We're not suggesting a "savings account" in the sense that you keep your money in a foreign bank. This is more like an efficient "bank proxy". Does "nginx for banks" explain what I'm trying to say? The money at the end of the day will be kept in your own banks.

Your point about foreign transaction fees is also correct in part. There are many layers of fees in a foreign transaction, many portions of which are directly controllable by the parent bank as is already proven by services like Revolut and centtrip.

Not much can be done about the remaining charges but even the savings that can be done with the help of a parent bank are very substantial and within the bounds of regulation.
Is an iPhone 5 less thick than an iPhone 4S? It seems the chassis is the same thickness, but the screen/touch assembly was recessed.

Switching to lightning freed up width, but it appears to me there was not much reduction in height.

I actually see the Magsafe 2 is about 2/3 height of the original Magsafe connector.
nice :) I built DbFit at a time when I was getting a lot of work helping companies with a huge investment in oracle pl-sql, but my interests moved on, and for a while it just felt I was holding the project back.

People wanted to implement new things, support new databases, I felt overprotective of the design, but didn't have enough time to bring new contributors onboard. So I just kind of gave up, and that allowed me to think about it from a completely different perspective. If I just deleted it, then I wouldn't care too much about it any more. Giving away the keys was kind of the same, but without preventing others from contributing. And it worked out great.

There is no explanation how it works. Does it work on top of existing APIs in user space? Or is there a custom kernel driver bypassing user space?

I've done some high throughput streaming from HD/SSD to GPU before, and it's pretty easy to beat the naive solution but getting the most out of it would require kernel space code.

I was doing random access streaming of textures using memory mapped files for input and copying to persistent/coherent mapped pixel buffers on the CPU with memcpy with background threads. This was intended to take advantage of the buffer caches (works great when a page is reused) and intended for random access. If I would have been working on a sequential/full file upload, my solution would be entirely different.

Edit: here's the source: https://github.com/kaigai/ssd2gpu

It has a custom kernel module.
as someone who's prescribed amphetamine (i.e. adderall) for [inattentive] ADHD, and have also tried meth-amphetamine, I just want to point out that those are two very different drugs as far as effects and potency go.

Methamphetamine is so strong, I honestly couldn't even tolerate small amounts of the stuff. The few times I've tried it just resulted in dehydration, headaches, and muscle aches, easily outweighing any cognitive effects it had (which weren't even really more noticeable than regular amphetamine's effects for me). Cocaine isn't as bad, but still a bit too much for me as well.

Regular amphetamine on the other hand, the compound this article is about, has given me quite a noticeable improvement in my quality of life. Results do vary even among us adhd people, but for me, I've never experienced anything worse than staying up a bit later than I would like from taking it. Otherwise it just feels like drinking a really strong cup of tea for me, cause even coffee makes me more jittery. So the research in this article doesn't surprise me too much, but it's always nice to have some extra reassurance against all the anti-adhd-medication propaganda that originally made me paranoid about even trying it back when I was first diagnosed.

Well, on my mom Windows 10 pc hp software asked her if the cartridge was pirate (unofficial?). Well, actually it was original, the only thing is that I'm keeping an empty color cartridge instead of replacing it since I only use black... I'm wondering wtf happened there
Slightly offtopic, but, I've been using a HP printer for the past years (Photosmart D7360) and am also VERY annoyed, one example: whenever one of my color cartridges is past it's expiry date i can't print in black and white. Even though the black cartridge is brand new. I first have to go buy a new color cartridge (which i don't use) and then i can print in black again.
The warning message says something like "if you print with an outdated cartridge it may damage the printer".

seriously, will never buy a HP printer again.

I've been to the first world. I noticed while there that they spend the majority of their time and effort in pursuit of activities that hardly be classified as basic needs. I've noticed that beyond basic needs, what can be classified as a 'legitimate cause' gets pretty subjective pretty fast.

There is even the curious phenomenon of the 'starving artist', a class of individuals who willingly compromise basic necessities in pursuit of things at the highest order of Maslow's heirarchy of needs. Though few of them are actually starving, really it just means they can't afford luxury goods commonly found amongst even the lower classes.

Yes, I personally find the (recurrent) dismissals of "marketing" posted on Hacker News are getting a little bit long in the tooth.

It's either criticized as some magical tool that can flip a switch in people's mind and make them buy anything, or something completely useless because people should be able to educate themselves about the objective qualities of products before they make a decision.

Every discussion gets muddled between people who a) have no experience in the field b) mix up marketing with advertising, with sales, or with anything they feel like criticizing c) do not seem to like the idea of commerce itself.

What's so hard about Kerberos? Kerberos is orders of magnitude easier to deploy and manage than LDAP. It takes literally minutes (if you have done it before and know what you are doing).

In fact it's so easy, that I recommend anyone to use Kerberos even if they don't want to manage the complexity of LDAP. If you use NFS in any meaningful capacity, you have to implement Kerberos, even if you don't have LDAP, otherwise you're implementing a security footgun. Luckily, Kerberos is easy to set up in this configuration, without LDAP.

It's true that LDAP+Kerberos is too hard to deploy and manage, but that's LDAP's fault, not Kerberos'.

What important application doesn't have Kerberos support already? If you talk about adding Kerberos support to your own applications, I have that to be pretty easy.
Yeah, the original Game Boy Advance doesn’t actually have a charging port on it in the first place!

Unlike the Game Boys that came before it, the Game Boy Advance didn’t have a barrel connector on it to connect an AC adapter for powering it without batteries. Due to that, Nintendo made an accessory¹²³ for the Game Boy Advance that plugged into the battery compartment (which completely replaced the battery cover). It had a proprietary port on it which you would use to plug in an AC adapter that would then plug into a wall outlet and power (not charge) the Game Boy Advance. I believe that may be what the parent poster was referring to.

Should I explain? Okay.

Jim Sterling, a critic previously of the Escapist, had a series where he played steam games, and talked about how good or bad they were (I think he selected for bad, but if he didn't, Sturgeon's law was in full effect). One of the games he played was Digital Homocide's The Slaughering Grounds. Needless to say, it was rubbish.

However, Digital Homocide decided that Jim's review was terrible and unfair, and released a video called "Reviewing the Reviewer", which was Jim's video, overlaid with sarcastic, bitter text scrolls. Jim then posted a video of himself laughing at that video, and the situation continued to increase in size until we reach today.

However, in that video by Digital Homocide, amid the bitter sarcasm portraying Jim as an idiot, there was a repeated catchphrase, "Because I'm Jim motherf#%king Sterling, son," Jim thought this was hilarious, and his onscreen persona is that of an egomanic already, so it quickly became Jim's actual catchphrase.

So now you know, which is half the battle.
Ah. Okay, that makes sense.
