Not at all. It only depends on your definition of big volume.

Source: By some metrics my company is > 1% of Adyen... or Stripe... or whatever competitor we decide to use at the moment.

If a single company can be as much as 1% of an entire payment provider, they gotta be quite small, right? Well, that's what I think every day when I see news about them :D
Um, there are absolutely zero spoilers here. Good piece though!

Though I basically agree, I would only push back slightly by pointing out that the "struggles" encountered by humans in the park are guaranteed to play out in their favor. If you want to screw or kill someone you just do. Not so on the outside. Also, on the outside there are consequences, not so inside the park. To wit, bullets don't harm humans in the park.
I largely agree with you, but wanted to add some more context.

The issue is, and has always been, caused by a serious problem in the reddit's admins have in being perceived as being unable to enforce the rules fairly.

From time to time communities that are overall "okay" get deeply invested in an issue and "drama" is spawned. Sometimes rules are broken. When particular subs visibly break rules and the rules are not enforced their opponents feel license to also break rules. Both sides of these disputes could name a dozen or times that the other side broke the rules. They have mountains of evidence of this, and don't trust the admins as a result.

Because of that, and the explicitly political nature of r/the_donald, none of the admins have felt they could enforce those rules. Into that toxic hellbroth of a situation /r/pizzagate repeatedly had dox-drops containing actual child pornography. Visibly breaking like the only true real rules reddit has, the admins took the only option they had, and ware demonized for it.

Largely because all moderator actions had become so politicized, and after reviewing reported content that I suspect may have been genuinely traumatizing to review he made a mistake.
From this page http://www.crisis.org.uk/pages/homeless-def-numbers.html:

"Local authorities do not have to provide housing for all homeless people. Instead, they have a duty to house 'statutory' homeless people and, every year, tens of thousands of people apply to their local authority for homelessness assistance.

"To be legally defined as homeless you must either lack a secure place in which you are entitled to live or not reasonably be able to stay in your current accommodation. However, in order for your local authority to have a duty to find you housing, there are further strict criteria that you have to meet. The housing a local authority provides to households who meet these criteria, mainly families with children, may initially be temporary accommodation.

"If you don't have dependent children (known as ‘single homelessness') and you are not deemed to be more vulnerable than other homeless people, you probably won't be entitled to housing."
Yes. For the record, I agree with what you wrote. Actual evidence suggests that American and European intelligence agencies knew that the justification for the war was being manufactured; Chalabi was simply a convenient scapegoat.
I really don't like that I lose anything, but sure.

Rust isn't yet equivalent to clang in terms of LLVM, because of the overhead of some of the libraries that it needs. Like its own malloc implementation.

These are acceptable costs to get security.

I hope I haven't come across as disliking Rust, because I love it.

Unfortunately, when it comes to embedded, bytes matter, and those overheads aren't easy to limit or abolish in a simple manner. So you lose out on the security, and have strange compression scripts, or you lose out on the security and use C.

For now, the second is an easier sell to a manager.

I am expecting there will be progress here, from a few of the issues I've seen open on GitHub.

And I really like your work.

Which didn't work well for me, so it would be nice to see Stripe get into that space. When I linked my Square Cash account to a Chase debit card about a year ago, one or two friends were able to pay me but the next ones only saw weird errors on their end and when I contacted support, it took them forever to get back to me and eventually they emailed to say my account was being closed due to suspicious activity. No answers, no help, nada. Who would trust their financial transactions to a service like that? So yeah, go get 'em Stripe!
I paid about 5 years ago. I'd say I got my money's worth.
An interesting aspect of these is that they are very quiet. Maybe they will allow flights past midnight, when the noisy planes are not allowed. With a range of 750-1500km, that puts most of Germany within range.

However the speed (200km/h) is not as fast as trains or even fast cars on the autobahn.
From the Verge article:
CNN has also released a statement: “The RCN cable operator in Boston aired inappropriate content for 30 minutes on CNN last night. CNN has asked for an explanation.” But that still doesn’t really verify that anything occurred.

Well, CNN was either calling its own content "inappropriate" or they were saying that something occurred. Is the Verge so interested in promoting this "fake news" meme that they won't even believe CNN's own statement that "inappropriate content" was aired on CNN?
> It's an environment where they can rapidly iterate on what the most "click-worthy" stories are and dial in the content to meet audience expectations.

Ha! That literally describes most websites... including some factors in the Google ranking algorithm. I guess that's what happens when damn-near every website on earth optimizes for user engagement.
Ten years ago, I was a staunch Apple fan. I liked their product line-up - it was simple, easy to understand, and the products were good. If you needed power, you bought a Pro. If you needed value, you bought the non-pro. Both sides had good parts, were generally well built, repairable, and at the time used standard stuff. The OS was improving at a rate of knots as well.

Some time in the last 5 years, I've gone from being a big fan, to really not liking Apple much at all. Primarily because they've gone back to their older attitudes toward standardised parts; they've removed user-serviceability on batteries, memory, storage, yet haven't offered any real concessions to their ridiculously expensive upgrade prices.

Their non-US pricing is infuriating, too. With current currency conversion rates, the base MacBook Pro is $250 USD more expensive in New Zealand after all taxes are taken into account than it is in the USA, and it only gets worse from there.

Computers do not need to be disposable appliances. The used market for Macs is awful now, flooded with 2GB/64GB MacBook Airs that are near useless, and 128GB storage on the lower end rMBPs with only expensive custom third party upgrades available from OWC or Transcend putting a premium on the more spec'd out models.

In the past, you could just buy whatever used (or new) Mac is approximately right for your needs, and fill it to the brim with RAM and a fast SSD when you needed to. I got 3 usable years out of my 2006 MacBook, 4 usable years out of my 2008 MacBook Pro, and only 1.5 years out of my 2013 15" rMBP. At the time, it was already just over the limit for my work machine budget, and I had to retire it due to needing more RAM. I'm quite positive I would still be using it today had I been able to upgrade it. But instead I bought a second hand MacBook Air for iOS development and put up with Linux and Windows on an Ivy Bridge-E desktop that I could only use properly half the time.

Many things they've been doing recently have been actively hostile to users with basically no legitimate recourse. Pentalobe screws? Bricking iPhones with third party home buttons? Limiting availability of genuine parts, causing Chinese counterfeit market flooding? Multiple proprietary SSD blade card formats that are essentially pin swaps of existing standards? Glueing batteries? Lightning instead of USB?

It might be semi alright if you live in the USA near an Apple Store, and can take advantage of some of their better policies, but the point is that they don't need to do any of this stuff in the first place.
Have you implemented it?
There is no need for additional construction to meet housing demand. In the continental US there are something like 6 empty units for every homeless person in the country. In turn this means there is no pent up demand for building materials, so putting people to work in forestry, quarry, cement, steel, etc is also a non-starter. Global food surplus indicates there is no pressing need to put additional people to work in agriculture. I'm not certain that there is pent up demand for 3.5 million new nannies or therapists in the country, which is a relevant number as that's roughly how many OTR truckers that are on the cusp of losing their livelihoods to automation. There simply isn't enough work to go around.
Thanks for this, I have noticed that in the online communities where I hang out, it is nice to have the words of what has been annoying me. Thanks so much.
Detection of sarcasm is not one of your skills, apparently.
Some geopolitical irony here. Georgia has been trying join NATO; President Trump will quite possibly recognize Georgia as being in the Russian sphere of influence.
Exactly. I'd be worried if sources like The Real News Network or The Intercept got erroneously lumped in with "fake news".
So do > 35% of Americans who are obese. Why don't they just stop eating? That's over 100 million people.

Another good read on the topic: http://newramblerreview.com/book-reviews/political-science/t...

I like this bit:

"the knowledge worker is under severe external constraints. Much of their work is assisted or mediated through information technology, which contributes to a de-skilling of their cognitive labor. And on top of this they are expected to fully invest themselves in their jobs in a way that manufacturing laborers never did: they must demonstrate commitment above and beyond their contracted work hours, and express constant satisfaction and happiness about their work. The whole thing is exhausting."
'Fake News' took our jobs!
Well, that's one half. Like, Teslas and Nissan Leaf have no transmission at all, they are direct drives. That's a hell lot of sensitive gearing gone. Also, the load on brake pads is much lighter because breaking is regenerative and so instead of needing to waste away all the energy of the spinning wheel as heat on the brake pads, you just use it as a generator for a while.

But in general, there are less consumables, so to speak. Like oil filters, what oil filters? An electronic cable has a lot less chance to break than a seal to grew old. No spark plugs. And, again, see brake pads above. Still some parts require maintenance (wiper blades) but much less.

As someone who has dedicated the last few years of his life building a dev / design shop around Shopify, seeing these kind of numbers makes me very happy.

Looks like we placed our bet on the right horse.

imho xal / Tobi should get far more recognition for what he built. Shopify is really quite remarkable and in a league of its own.

Curious if they'll ever beat Amazon / Alibaba volume.
Did We Change the Definition of 'Literally'?
I don't have any insider knowledge either, but I have this impression that you lose operational efficiency when you go public. For all the heat that VCs get for pressuring their portfolio companies to grow 10x, it seems like answering to the public market is even more wasteful.

This is just an impression though, I don't have anything to back it up.
I joined the lab after it had been up and running for about 6 months, so I'm not sure what setting one up looks like.

However, I can tell you that probably the most important thing we had going for us in terms of getting of the ground is my boss, our VP of Innovation. He's been with the company for a many years, and is generally very well regarded. He also works tirelessly to promote the lab and get the rest of the company involved.

We also have an HR manager, herself a long time company woman, and that's been essential for recruiting talented engineers and inters, as well as helping guys like me with the transition from startup land to an old school corporation.

Other than that, we're all full time engineers, plus interns from the local university, especially in the summer.
Actually, I gotta retract from my other comment.

It seems that both Adyen and Brainsomething processed over 50B last year whereas Stripe didn't.

Stripe didn't publish numbers (I'd dare saying because they are very small and that would scare big companies away), but the valuation at 5 Billion dollars indicates that they are less than 1/10th of the aforementioned providers.

Conclusion: Stripe = The hype underdog with strong marketing :D

Not sure I get why you'd use it. Easier to just type the commas, or if dynamic get the server to render them. Also this doesn't seem to take localisation into account.
> jsprogrammer's remarks being downvoted into oblivion is not warranted.

he's making loaded statements out of ignorance because he wont bother to google psychotherapy's definition. There is a therapeutic process to talking and learning to manage emotions and cope with defenses.

Licensure is a key feature so you prohibit people from making fake therapeutic claims or quackery. Or to limit taking advantage of emotionally vulnerable people (it still happens, but licensure requires insurance). Same reason you or I can't call ourselves doctors and claim to cure physiological illness. Do you disagree with that "licensure" too ? Why can't you and I open up a back and spinal clinic ? We could probably make a lot of dough.

I dont know why its acceptable to denigrate the field of psychology. Is the 'engineering way' the only way to solve problems ? Should they just "stop it" until they have humans figured out down to a schematic/circuit ? Then they can treat all the anxiety/depression from our overworked consumerist lifestyles and make us into the perfect capitalist cattle ? Is psychology bullshit because Apple doesn't yet sell iPsychometers with USB-C interfaces so we can patch our brains with the latest "update" and all be perfect?

Humans aren't machines and healing or treatment for psychological pain and mental illness isn't done by running a script. It's done by interviewing patients, classifying symptoms, taking surveys, attempting (and often failing) treatments, doing double blind trials. Things that aren't deterministic, which is also the nature of reality. Why can't you face that ?

edit: let me give you specific examples of why you need a license to practice:

* patient comes in and says they were raped. and the alleged rapist is still doing it. unlicensed quack might be scared to report it to the police, might avoid helping the patient at all because it's "too difficult", or might try to exploit abuse victim for his own sexual pleasure.

* elderly suicidal patient divulges financial info to therapist, who then tips off a dirty lawyer/estate planner into contacting the patient and stealing /exploiting him.

* husband and wife go to therapy. Husband knows he's getting divorced but doesn't want to pay half. So he pays off the therapist to give biased testimony in court blaming the wife for false actions.

* therapist was personally harmed by a particular person earlier in life. now they take joy in intentionally misleading/upsetting other patients who look/act like the one who hurt them.

I hope this is enough to see why the field is regulated.

Look how much discussion there is about fakenews/webspam here on HN. It's a popular topic. As for blog posts and media, they're following the popularity as well in part to cash in on the traffic they'll see due to people's interest on the topic.

I'm not sure what your premise is. Is it that this is a topic now only because of the election results? That it's a hot topic now because of some media conspiracy because of the election results? That the fakenews meme has been planted because of the election results?

Those are all potentially interesting premises which could be researched and tested.

I think we can agree that some news topics are faddish. For fakenews/webspam, the trigger that kicked it off is the election.

Here's what I'm positing:

We have a much larger number of people using social media since the last election (2012).

People are spending a much larger amount of time online engaged with social media since the last election.

People are getting a much larger percentage of their news online in general and social media in particular since the last election.

Campaigns have spent much more on online advertising since the last election.

Online advertising in general is much increased since the last election.

All of these things contribute to an environment where people are going to be sensitive to news about online news and advertising.

Even before the election, I'm sure you can find examples of people complaining about fake articles, both related to the campaign and otherwise. As an example, Ryan Holiday's "Trust Me I'm Lying" was published in 2013.

This all makes for a great environment for a meme such as fakenews to take off. With all of the other increased politicization and polarization accompanying the election, it's unlikely that it needed much of a push. People were already complaining about untrue claims, cherry-picking, and the like.

All of these things could likely be easily backed up, but I don't think they're likely to be particularly contentious. Any you disagree with?

I don't know if any additional nefarious push needs to happen.

What do you think?

The Saudis and Kuwaitis gave the US 30 billion dollars to attack Iraq for the first gulf war. After giving Iraq a loan of 25 billion to attack Iran, which basically put Iraq in a difficult financial position which the Kuwaitis and the Saudis would not help it get out of it by cutting their supply, so he threatened them with war http://www.nytimes.com/1990/07/18/business/iraq-threatens-em... But at the end of the day who gave Saudis all this money, which ended with a bunch of backward tribal nomads running international political schemes? The Americans built Saudis from scratch, and their little monster now rocks the cradle.

Same thing with security breaches today. Unless the attacker destroys the data or steals money, there's no downside to a company getting hacked. Target and Home Depot are still in business, doing the same thing they were doing beforehand. Hell, even Linode, a company whose customers should know better, is still happily humming along after they not only had one but two breaches, and tried to hide the fact that they were compromised rather than disclosing it.

If its just their customers being impacted, the businesses don't care. What will it take for companies will get the hint that there's actual losses being sustained from their actions, even if they themselves are not seeing the losses?

It's called externalities, and they're everywhere. Exxon Mobile doesn't pay for the damage their oil causes to the environment. Factories don't pay for the smog they create. Carly Fiorina never went to jail over lies that incited a shooting spree. Home Depot still processes credit cards. The Independent is still reporting the news based off tweets.

The biggest challenge in the world right now, bigger than anything else we've faced as a species, is how to make sure someone pays for their own externalities. As we become more connected and more global, our lies and our byproducts aren't just hurting those around us. They're hurting the entire world.
And they don't go home at night.

Conveying sarcasm may not be one of yours.
Yup.

Now, to think for just a few seconds, the 1000 years is just 100 decades. So, list the 100 biggest changes you can think of from wooden ships for open ocean sailing, Newton's law of gravity, the explanation for how the stars shine, coal, iron, steel, steam, electricity, radio, the electric light, ..., you get the idea.

Then, that means that on average over the past 1000 years we had one such biggie development each 10 years. And in some of those 10 year periods, maybe we didn't have a biggie, and that means that in some other 10 year period we had more than one biggie.

Net, the 100 big changes came along at a rate of one each 10 years, which is fast!

Do the same, that is, the 100 biggest changes, over the past, say, 200 years -- still have lots of biggies in those years. Now get a biggie on average each 2 years.

We've been screaming ahead!

But, right, we need to go faster!

I feel there is another point we are not looking at which worries me.

The author connects work to our self-worth which I think is an important connection to be made. If our worth is defined by work completed/productivity and there is a lack of work, slowly it means there is going to be a rise of people with a lack of self-worth (And being unemployed means your at home alone alot more)
Depression will come.

I worry that this trend of lack of work will begin to lead a rise in suicide due
to a compounded effect of lack of self-worth/identity.

Unsure if this is a sound conclusion to draw, but it worries me.
