I've got a Gold Amex and a Chase Sapphire, and both pay for themselves each year. Between the monthly/quarterly recurring charges associated with running a startup off your credit cards, travel, and monthly expenses (groceries, gas, etc) we get way more in kickbacks than our yearly fees.

The important thing is that we're not going out of our way to justify the cards, we're simply operating our household expenses the same way we would be on a $0 card.

The difference is we use our points to buy everyone in our family pnice Christmas gifts, can get pre-sale access to shows/concerts (that is admittedly underutilized now that we have three kids), access to airport lounges, double up on hotel points, get discounted airfare upgrades, and things like expense categorization in the web portal. We get frequent discount offers for things we normally purchase, instant alerts for weird transactions that I can handle from my phone.

For us it pencils out. For someone or a family without the recurring expenses we have and doesn't travel very often, it wouldn't be worth it.

Anything that touches on politics or religion is a tire fire, but the math and science articles aren't bad. I mostly use Wikipedia to help me find actual resources.
I'm not sure why you were downvoted. Most of the academics I know hate it. They use it because certain journals require it, or their advisor makes them use it.

Thanks for the long reply. I agree with much of what you wrote.
Word kerning and hyphenation still sucks, so -10.

Seriously, there are many places (CS publishing) where there are biases against papers written in Word.
Science is political now because evidence, studies, and results can impact policy, so it's deeply polluted.

Personally I've found many medical and scientific articles to contain vast amounts of misinformation and disinformation. I would recommend not relying on any of it, it is at the whims of whoever bothers to edit.
Yes, I work at a startup that's doing this, but it's very dangerous with the amounts of noise, which seem fine on MNIST and even CIFAR, but you die on imagenet.

The key to circumventing this is very complicated and our "secret sauce".

I think this is simply survivors bias for every information transmitted orally. It had to be repetitive, or people couldnt remember it. See here for the Ilyad:

> For an oral poet, however, such repetition is not a fault, but a vital technique (Lord 3–67). Repetition is a psychological necessity in oral discourse, which vanishes as soon as it is uttered

All of these things are done because PP has, at some point in the past, screwed over the merchant. Paypal is so bad that at this point, it's not even unreasonable to assume that even a part-time seller has never had a problem with them. The only reason any seller uses them is because the customers prefer it or they don't want to set up their own Stripe integration.

It's blatantly clear that PP existed with nearly no competition for many years.

With eBay, you have a new fraud vector to worry about:

eBay's "Buyer Protection" is a superset of the former Paypal-centric coverage such that if a buyer initiates a return against a seller, eBay can choose to make that buyer whole by charging the credit card you use for your eBay seller fees and memberships (if any), regardless of payment method used by the buyer.
The "Super 7" are: Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent.

Browsing the source of games like Nethack and Battle for Wesnoth (around a decade ago) opened my eyes - sometimes code quality can seem poor but the product can be great.

Blender is another one that seems very ramshackle and complex. I won't go as far as saying it's poorly written, but it's a product of many contributors, including students, and yet it's an amazing piece of software.

This thread is not meant to be a criticism of projects, but a celebration that code quality is not the be all and end all.

Cleaning up existing code will make it easier to alter designs later and that's something you should continually be doing as you implement features and fix bugs, but that's not pre-emptive architecture.

Courts in a common law jurisdiction (like the UK and US) don't have to try to set a precedent, each ruling tends to set a precedent. That is what makes common law common, the same law is applied everywhere, so any new ruling would be applied everywhere. This is exactly why judges avoid making rulings that would set a new precedent! I hope I haven't oversimplified a complicated subject!
Agreed, changing to married status is an issue. I read about a potential workaround once: set your marriage status but have the privacy to "me" so no one else sees it. Then change it back to public. I haven't tried it honestly, because I feel like Facebook have considered the trick.
is this purposeful equivocation?
Your syntax only looks good in hello-world examples and will stumble upon the same sort of ambiguities that things like coffeescript grappled with.

It turns out that it's less work to always have delimiters than it will be to have to add them anyways to disambiguate.
> Google's standing policy

Google can change or ignore its policy at any time, without telling you. Depending on your level of risk, you might not want your security to depend on someone else's goodwill, especially someone for who has very many, much larger concerns than you.

Will Google forgo massive government contracts to protect you? Risk expensive lawsuits? What if you are politically unpopular; will Google risk its reputation for you?
If you are allowed to and comfortable with it, could you share which country was that? Over the years I have looked at government projects in Western Europe, SE Asia and Australia, Europeans seem to be the ones that care the most about open source, while at the other end of the spectrum SE Asian governments are interested in it just as much as it lets them save money (much less because of "free as in freedom"). Australia seems to me kind of a mixed bag, it boasts about using Drupal because it's open source but I know that some projects are based on proprietary technology. Please note that much of the information I gathered is second-hand and may be inaccurate.

It's also the name of a very influential book on the subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise:_The_Political_Economy_o...
"Doesn't get it" isn't always (or even usually) the problem, though. It's more "wasn't listening" or "didn't have time to comprehend what you meant (or the implications of what you meant) before the conversation moved on."

The biggest component of success in communication comes down to saying things enough times that your message can actually be listened to and digested at least once. You can vary the way you say things each time, but literal repetition works nearly as well, because the problem is almost never "I don't know what those words in that order mean" but rather "I didn't hear half that sentence" or "I was thinking about lunch" or "that might have been important but it just sort of passed by and I forgot."
Nice environment! But...why do justified on a webpage?
I understand that the WSJ links have been increasingly problematic. Using the "web" link has been hit-or-miss for me as well, and as others have noted, it sounds like WSJ is going to close this workaround entirely.

That said, in the future, it would be useful to include a note that you tried the "web" link in your initial comment. Often "paywalled" comments are due to people not being aware of a workaround. It's useful to readers and those trying to help that you've tried the workaround and that it's failed. Thanks!

I've studied econ at the graduate level at MIT after having taken it as an undergrad as well, and I have a degree in Finance, so I didn't mean to imply that I don't know what I'm talking about. But I know a lot of other topics as well and I've always objected to terms of art in one field being easily confused with terms from other areas, and hell if I can remember what an inferior good is 20 yrs later. My point was not that you didn't know what you were talking about; I joined in because between the two of you I replied to, I didn't think your discussion was benefiting the rest of HN as much as it could because many of those people have not taken any econ at all. I was trying to Econ 100 the discussion, without losing the flavor of what is interesting about Giffen goods; and I think that if researchers are going to "prove" that Giffen goods don't exist in aggregate (<-- not Macro term of art), they need to also address the obvious short term circumstances (as I tried to describe) where it's clear that the underlying principle is actually operating, whether it has an effect on market clearing or not, because people can go one extra week without meat, just can't do it forever.

Not trying to argue, just trying to clarify what I came upon. Econ theory I think is sound but requires many simplifying assumptions to teach and learn, and then when we talk about whether Giffen good actually exist or not it's easy to lose track of simplifying assumptions like "long term" or "substitution".

cheers.
Good article, but I wish she'd reached out to Wikipedia or the community of editors to solicit some answer on what they intend to do about it. Once one is aware of such an issue, failure to wield the banhammer is treated as an implicit endorsement.
Computer Modern is a hideous font. It's particularly terrible when rendered in Postscript/PDF, which is how almost all documents produced with it actually get read.

But the +10 credibility is absolutely true. It's like CS grunge style: when you wear ugly clothes, you look more authentic.
Because they read about others seeing them, so they already have an expectation of what to see in their minds.
Nobody has mentioned it, but in this sort of language, you're chaining expressions onto the right-hand side.

Putting commas on the left-hand side means they're out of your way once and for all.

The versioning diff argument is much less interesting. Most people don't care about that.
No, because that would be property damage.
The best-practices 2FA stack is:

* U2F token (primary method)

* TOTP via phone app (backup)

* Backup keys printed or on encrypted USB, in a safe.

* SMS disabled explicitly.

TOTP fallback doesn't reduce security meaningfully, because U2F principally protects against phishing. But SMS fallback is devastating to security.

You're essentially claiming that "the map is not the territory," which is correct and, indeed, a fundamental scientific premise.

However, for the models that science provides to be useful, they need to appear, predictably and repeatably, to describe the real world. I don't know what science will look like in ten thousand years (and neither do you) but given that current knowledge of physics, biology, neuroscience, etc do seem true to a reasonable degree, it seems unlikely that the science of the future would somehow discredit modern science entirely, while coincidentally validating a more primitive, shamanic point of view regarding altered states of consciousness.

Accusing me of being ignorant and self-centered in defense of a premise you can't support beyond faith and personal belief seems hypocritical. And as far as imagination goes, accepting altered states at face value is literally the least amount of imagination or intellectual effort one can expend in attempting to understand them.
Or, lack of internet access might be a productivity enhancement. :-)
It is an encyclopedia, not a collection of tutorials. That seems more appropriate for something like wikibooks. Otherwise, every single article would be in inordinately long with a lot of redundancy. I like it better in which pre-requisites are often linked to other pages, so you can brush up on the pre-req's if you don't understand them.

Put bluntly, if any aliens have FTL tech they could strap it on an asteroid and vaporize the earth. More simple than that would be to send nano-bots, an asteroid of significant size coming for us at any speed, or a thousand other things. Any civilization with that level of science/engineering know-how would most likely be like the US army going waging war with Neanderthals throwing spears.

The title tries to make it seem as this is completely non-political, yet the entire body of the article is basically anti-Trump rhetoric.

So here is another human psyche detail - when someone removes the actual details (such as what these 3 exec orders are and the specifics of the mentioned crimes), they are doing so to protect the narrative...

I'll give you an example: "Ban of majority Muslim countries" vs. "Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen".

The reason the media removes the list of countries and replaces them with the quote, is because when people see the names of these countries, they realize that they are an open death-sentence destination for Americans, and have a large public that often chants death threats to America.

And that is a problem for the narrative the media is using (to exploit the situation). So the details have to be removed.

This is the first step of the manipulation of public opinion. The second step is the repetition.
Change isn't always for the better.

Here[0] is a link to a talk about wireless keyboard sniffing, including BT keyboards and their hardware/software solution for sniffing.

Specifically around BT keyboards they say this on one of their slides:

* Sniffing is possible but kind of “unstable”

* All pre-requirements for a successful PIN cracking
can only be sniffed during pairing

* Complex documentation

So overall, not awful, but not fabulous either. Luckily most BT keyboards are severely limited in range (~ 30 feet max).

This is all from 2010, but is the latest source(s) I can find.

It may be a little over engineered for what I want it for, but it does work! I started up the reference server in a docker container and wrote a quick bot using the provided python-sdk and can interact with it using the client on my phone.

The main downside(from my perspective) is that it's a lot of moving parts, and I think I'd be more happy with just irc over tls since I at least know how that works :-)
Right: and if you remember, the entire concept of a "platform-specific Java API" is what was at stake when Microsoft lost this very similar lawsuit when Sun sued them over J++. Either what Google is doing is horrible or what Microsoft did shouldn't have been a problem :/.

Asterisk PBX.

Not working in VoIP anymore for quite long time, but the clarity of design of Asterisk has deeply influenced me.

Gstreamer. Pipeline is very powerful model for software, the potential of it is tremendous. Unfortunately I find level of development & maintenance of Gstreamer project itself quite poor - the code is horribly complicated for questionable reasons (it's said to be non-blocking everywhere; I find it bad excuse for being ridden with subtle bugs and for failures to use custom pipelines as blocks for higher-level pipelines).

I find such projects as ffmpeg and linux kernel quite well engineered, but have nothing special to say about them except that they are reasonably well organized and get better day by day.

Well I'm happy to try and reason this out.

One thing is for sure. Under no circumstance should they allow OEMs to make Mac hardware. I'd even go as far as to say to control for this all hardware that could be build by the end user (which could be a business or person I suppose) must be certified through the MFI program. If I was postulating a way for this to work, the only way I see it working is:

1) They charge yearly for the priviledge through either the developer accounts and deployment accounts (for businesses and individual devs) and direct sales. I would say to make up for any potential lost margin we are talking $400-700 for this. Just like back in the OS X server days.

2) I imagine all hardware will need to -no must need to- be MFI certified and likely I could imagine Apple not only getting their cut from that but perhaps every MFI part sold will have a hearse are chip that ensures authenticity and compatibility

3) this will never be something OEMs could partake in. As a stipulation for the MFI program I could see them stating that hardware can't be sold to OEMs only direct purchases.

In the most realistic scenario I can come up with that's how it would work. Even then I doubt Apple wants to or could otherwise make it viable. It could potentially do so much brand damage otherwise

> Features [like the one in question] are always "opt-out" or "on by default". The attitude is "force the user to use the new feature" rather than improving it until people _actually want_ to use it

Actually, they are not even "opt out" just "not now" (temporal opt out). Some time later, they WILL ask you again and then some time later again. Pretty annoying!

So the imgur image you posted is just a random flow chart you found online? Is that correct?
I see. I think there might be some distinction in regards of what different people view as "secure". Say, your phone produced by my company may be completely transparent to me and completely impenetrable to, say, tptacek. As I understand, in that narrative it is considered secure as you (the user) are supposed to trust me (the manufacturer). That's why iPhone is considered secure in comparison to Android, which is similarly backdoored, but in addition more penetrable to tptacek (the 3rd party).

Correct?
