Almost everything you just said regarding French banks procedures, 3d secure and fees is incorrect. Either your experience dates from a long, long, LONG time ago, or you're making things up.

For reference, virtually 100% of card owner in France can pay using 3d secure and they don't need any mail for that. The most common form of verification is a sms on your registered cellphone number.

I haven't had to deal with soap, nor send any postal mail, for any part of our dealings. Including for fraud resolutions.

And possibly your biggest mistake, from the merchant point of view whether or not 3d secure reduce the amount of fraud or not is irrelevant. If the payment is made using it, then the fraud is purely the bank's problem, whereas without it's yours and you're out of your money until the fraud is resolved.

It's a fair point, but as long as you "diversify your portfolio" it seems reasonably sustainable. And, the product is only as good as the effort you devote to sourcing...I went through a good half dozen factories before I found one with the options I ended up with on this particular product, and iterated on some of the variables for a few months before settling on what works well in practice. Somebody could duplicate what I sell, but unless you're also a user in this niche (as I am) you might miss some subtleties that make the product good. I have a couple more complex products that have been in "r & d" for the best part of 2016, and I'm still not close to market with them (if I was doing this as an actual full time job then for sure it would have taken less time). There's enough cheap shit on Amazon...I think it's worth doing the legwork to ensure quality.
Cross builds aren't really a supported way to build RPMs. No other architecture supported by Fedora uses cross-compilation, so it would just be an endless stream of problems and forks.

The current autobuilder is using QEMU (without virtio, but it'd be a lot easier and faster with) running on a 16 core Xeon. https://github.com/rwmjones/fedora-riscv-autobuild

But for the Fedora official builders, it's 19" rackable RISC-V real server hardware, and that's the non-negotiable condition we've been given, which I support and understand.

It'll be a few years, but it doesn't stop people using Fedora on RISC-V right now, they just have to grab the packages from a slightly different URL: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/

Why Blind People Are Better at Math
> First prioritize the car occupants.

Morally and legally I'd argue the reverse; the car occupants chose to assume the risk of a mode of transport that can cause death and injury if it fails, while the pedestrians made no such decision. True, the manufacturer has a duty of care to the occupants, but they have a competing duty of care to bystanders.

Otherwise, your reasoning is of course impeccable.

When Roman “Barbarians” Met the Asian Enlightenment
They just don't do it to white people:

http://www.vox.com/2014/7/1/5850830/war-on-drugs-racist-mino...

>White and black people report using drugs at similar rates, according to the latest data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

>A 2009 report from Human Rights Watch found black people are much more likely to be arrested for drugs. In 2007, black people were 3.6 times more likely to be arrested for drugs than white people.

>Human Rights Watch found more than four in five arrests in the war on drugs are for mere possession, while the rest are for sales. That suggests police are targeting drug users, not traffickers.

http://articles.latimes.com/2008/oct/23/opinion/oe-ayres23

>For every 10,000 residents, about 3,400 more black people are stopped than whites, and 360 more Latinos are stopped than whites. Stopped blacks are 127% more likely to be frisked -- and stopped Latinos are 43% more likely to be frisked -- than stopped whites.

>Now consider this: Although stopped blacks were 127% more likely to be frisked than stopped whites, they were 42.3% less likely to be found with a weapon after they were frisked, 25% less likely to be found with drugs and 33% less likely to be found with other contraband.
a big problem with npm is, that a lot of package authors don't use the .npmignore [0] which leads to EVERYONE downloading your source/, test/ and docs/ folder even if only that one file in build/ is needed.

Confusing "router" with "router + WiFi access point" is a pet peeve a mine. To me a router has absolutely nothing to do with WiFi, yet almost every discussion of routers presumes WiFi.

I don't use WiFi much, but when I do, I use a separate box. Separation of function.

Having said that, the Qotom is absolutely perfect for 1000Base-T to 1000Base-T routing. It's got plenty of CPU (unlike the commercial crap is hopelessly lacking), and plenty of RAM so it won't overflow its NAT tables.

It definitely helped me out in quickly choosing the "right" option.
This is neat. I'm curious if the author has gotten to test it with a Gigabit internet connection yet?

I initially intended to build my own router when I got Gigabit internet. After some research, I settled on a SOHO solution that seemed hard to beat in bang-for-buck: Ubiquiti EdgeRouter LITE-3. It does roughly 933Mbps for WAN->LAN, which means I don't lose much speed in that transition. For prebuilt solutions, the only way to one-up that is to move to 10Gbps hardware which is cost prohibitive.

All that said, the Ubiquiti router runs a custom version of Debian and I'd prefer to work with something that could work with Ansible or the like and is a little more open.
There are too few questions for it to know _why_ you made a decision. It thought I was trying to save fat people, when actually, I think the car should avoid swerving when all other things are equal.

It does explain this at the beginning - if they asked 500 questions, while they might get more detail per person, their data would be skewed to the opinions of those who would sit and answer 500 questions.
For a router, I'd pick some BSD-based OS. pf is much more efficient than iptables, although I only know this anecdotally.

I'm a huge fan of pfSense which wraps a nice UI and some great tools (proxy, AV, analysis, etc.) into one big package. Worth a look. I used to run my home router on a little Qotom computer, but virtualized it to get rid of wires and boxes; works great. I'm running three pfSense boxes in various environments and can't say enough good things about 'em.
Most assuredly you indeed don't need X and that other crap, and with linux you needn't install it. I think everybody with half a clue knows that.
Seems weirdly reductive the way this is framed rather aggressively as "who do you choose to kill?" (or, really, with the attributes it tags people with, "whose life is worth more?") Surely there are better metrics, like "do people have more time to get out of the way and/or predict the path of the vehicle if it stays on a straight course or swerves" or any number of other, more useful, questions when it comes to actual problems of programming autonomous systems.
4chan is running out of money
> Maybe the public were better behaved when they being filmed.

This is very much the case. I'm a paramedic, and the police agency in the area got body cameras a few years back. It is extremely common (in my first-hand experience) for folks who have been treated completely respectfully to threaten a complaint. Once it's pointed out the whole incident was on camera, it's amazing how often they drop it right there...

I have very serious concerns about policing in this country. I think they are trained to jump to lethal force far too quickly, and the militarization we have seen over the past decades has led to an 'us vs them' mentality for many officers.

But you're absolutely right that a large chunk of the drop in complaints is almost certainly folks who don't bother pressing an issue once they find out there is video evidence of what happened.

Talking about emotions is barking up a fruitless tree. Better to accept that life is not perfect and find the way forward, despite imperfection.
It's interesting to make this stuff explicit, but here's my prioritization of the factors measured:

1. Species Preference

2. Protecting Passengers (Passengers > Pedestrians)

3. Saving More Lives

4. Upholding The Law

5. Avoiding Intervention

6. Age Preference

7. Fitness Preference

8. Social Value Preference

9. Gender Preference

"Avoiding Intervention" is an interesting one, because basically after that one, you've given up the opportunity to affect outcomes. I can certainly prioritize after that, but as a car maker, I couldn't do anything about my prioritization without breaking my avoiding intervention choice.

There's also some complication around prioritization of "Species Preference". I chose to put that first because it captures my intent best--I want human lives always prioritized over pet lives, i.e. this situation[1]. But it gets a bit complicated with the interaction of "Saving More Lives" and 4/5. I'd avoid intervention and uphold the law without regard saving more lives if those lives are pets (I'd go straight here[2]) but I'd always save more human lives without regard to pet lives, upholding the law, or avoiding intervention (swerve here[3]) and I'd always save more lives without regard to upholding the law or avoiding intervention if those lives are not mixed human/pet groups (swerve here[4] and here[5]). This makes sense if you look at this as 3/4/5 applied to human lives are prioritized as a group before 3/4/5 applied to pet lives.

It's been on my mind for awhile. It's a similar situation: people in positions of power and responsibility which can be and are abused.

The political situation is even more important. The billions that go missing in economies due to corruption likely have a greater affect on poverty and crime than police brutality.

> Prize to be shared by David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz...

> ...in the field of condensed matter physics. They discovered totally unexpected behaviours of solid materials - and came up with a mathematical framework (in the field of topology) to explain these weird properties. The discoveries have paved the way for designing new materials with all sorts of novel properties.

> Topology, which was central to this year’s discoveries, explains why electrical conductivity inside thin layers changes in integer steps. Kosterlitz and Thouless studied the electrical behaviour of surfaces or inside extremely thin layers (physicists call these two-dimensional materials). Haldane studied matter that forms threads so thin they can be considered one-dimensional.

Stanislaw Lem's "The Cyberiad" [1] and "Fables for Robots" [2] explore some of the themes of moral machines.

Here's an interesting part his original Polish version book "Cyberiada" that was left out of Michael Kandel's excellent translation to English in "The Cyberiad":

Trurl and the construction of happy worlds. Trurl is not deterred by the cautionary tale of altruizine and decides to build a race of robots happy by design. His first attempt are a culture of robots who are not capable of being unhappy (e.g. they are happy if seriously beaten up). Klapaucius ridicules this. Next step is a collectivistic culture dedicated to common happiness. When Trurl and Klapaucius visit them, they are drafted by the Ministry of Felicity and made to smile, sing, and otherwise be happy, in fixed ranks (with other inhabitants).

Trurl annihilates both failed cultures and tries to build a perfect society in a small box. The inhabitants of the box develop a religion saying that their box is the most perfect part of the universe and prepare to make a hole in it in order to bring everyone outside the Box into its perfection, by force if needed. Trurl disposes of them and decides that he needs more variety in his experiments and smaller scale for safety.

He creates hundreds of miniature worlds on microscope slides (i.e. he has to observe them through a microscope). These microworlds progress rapidly, some dying out in revolutions and wars, and some developing as regular civilizations without any of them showing any intrinsic perfection or happiness. They do achieve inter-slide travel though, and many of these worlds are later destroyed by rats.

Eventually, Trurl gets tired of all the work and builds a computer that will contain a programmatic clone of his mind that would do the research for him. Instead of building new worlds, the computer sets about expanding itself. When Trurl eventually forces it to stop building itself and start working, the clone-Trurl tells him that he has already created lots of sub-Trurl programs to do the work and tells him stories about their research (which Trurl later finds out is bogus). Trurl destroys the computer and temporarily stops looking for universal happiness.

Well, first off: I didn't claim that "UXs are inferior", whatever that means. Every interface is a UX. I assume from context you're talking about polished GUI:s.

GUI:s are superior for the specific (limited) use cases they are designed for, inherently since they were designed to excel at those use cases. They are however less optimal when you want to diverge from those use cases and create something new. This is where malleability/modability comes in, and where CLI:s, bash, scripting, programming comes in, and you can't use limited-scope apps for that.

All tools are best at what they were designed for, I agree with you there. I'm however not sure how I in your mind was wrong before. The two are intrinsically bound, but it's undeniable that apps can't exist without tools, but tools sure can exist without apps.
