Humble Bundle co-founder here. This does not apply to us. The lawsuit refers to a feature PayPal Giving Fund launched a few months ago on their own website, to let people pay charities that are not yet registered.

On our side, for charities that are paid via PayPal Giving Fund, we require them to be fully onboarded. For our "choose your own charity" feature, which lets you customize which charity you are supporting, we only allow our customers to choose charities that are fully registered with PPGF. You can verify this by noting that we only support a fraction of the charities listed on PPGF.

Why use PPGF (or Tides.org, our backup) in the first place? There are regulations that require you and the charity to do a fair amount of paperwork and register with various states. When you are tiny, you can probably fly under the radar, but when you are approaching $100M raised for charity, it is a good idea to be fully compliant.

PPGF is an easy way to maintain sanity, because we can focus on fully complying with every state with the PayPal Giving Fund 501(c)3. PPGF then handles maintaining compliance with the states (+ UK) on their side.

However, for this to actually legally work, the PPGF needs to retain control over the funds, hence the scary disclaimer on the site. If they didn't actually pay a charity we work with, which has never happened, we would obviously let the customer know and make it right. We will be updating the disclaimer next week to be less opaque.
I think vertical scrolling worked well in that case because it was used to display depth. The information you are displaying is literally about going down. Horizontal scrolling feels more natural to me here because the point is to show how empty and vast the area between planets is.

The downside is that it's an experience that admittedly only works if you're using a trackpad, or a mouse with good side-scrolling support. So people with laptops / trackpad mice are probably okay.
> In fact, it is never even a flat fee despite the fact that it does not actually cost anything more to transfer a larger number over a network than it does a smaller one.

A flat fee doesn't inherently make more sense either, as the marginal cost of processing a transaction is negligible. The costs come from the infrastructure.

There are many ways they could price it, but relating it to transaction size makes a fair amount of sense, since people making larger transactions are demonstrably able to pay more.
I just had this discussion with a local.

I was saying there are homeless people in London, and he refused to believe me. After a lot of talking around, he said.. "oh, yeah, but they're black, aren't they".

He refused to believe there are white homeless people in London.
The very notion doesn't even make sense.

Consumption taxes are regressive and disproportionately hit the poor (who spend all their money) much more than the rich (who save most of it).

So on that note, do you have any brands/manufacturers/chipsets that you see as particularly good in terms of being a client?

Its always a gamble when I get a new phone/laptop/device if it will work with the multi-AP setup I have in my house, and I'm really tired of getting something and bringing it home only to find it hangs on to the furthest AP for dear life.
But why spend the money to do it from scratch when you can spend less focusing on the pain points?

If your users pay you either way, the cheaper option (from a business point of view) is better.
To the people who downvoted this fellow: why don't you post a comment instead?
You can already feel the pain in CN. Almost everyone is using WeChat in tier 1 cities. WeChat is like WhatsApp/FB-Chat but with integrated Paypal-clone. It has also an integrated Didi app (Uber/taxi hailing).

You feel the pain if you don't have a local bank account and therefor cannot use the WeChat wallet. So you cannot hail a Taxi with Didi, you have to do it the old way by waving the hand. It's already really a pain, if you don't look like a local but being a visitor from the west. I heard there are restaurants that accept no cash anymore. It's also not so great that bank debit cards now have some regional lock, you have to deactivate it before you travel abroad, otherwise you cannot use ATMs there. Been there, learned it the hard way, good I had 300 USD in cash with me to survive 3 days until the debit card region locked got processed around the globe to enable ATM cash deposit. Let's hope current kind of paper cash stays around and will be a legal and common payment method for a long time to come.
Not OP, but we run retail stores that do cell phone and computer repair, so we needed reliable routers that could routinely support at least 10-15 clients grabbing data at any given time. We've been using the Linksys WRT1900AC (now ACS) and they've been great.

I have one here at home as well. I'm on a Gigabit connection provided by AT&T at home, and the router sits two rooms away with 2 walls between me and it. Also, my daughter is watching YouTube videos using it right now. With all that, I just ran a speed test using fast.com on my iPhone 6 and it showed 150Mbps. Really solid router.

> also weather does not usually confine itself to state boundaries.

This is a very good point. During the height of the 2011 Super Outbreak [0], April 27th, many of the strongest tornadoes crossed state lines. Taken as a whole, the event lasted four days and spawned tornadoes as far north as New York, south to Florida, east to Arkansas and west to the Carolinas.

Here's the thing: thanks to NWS forecasting and climate modeling, we had DAYS of warning that this was probably going to be a very bad storm. Obviously, they can't tell you X tornado is going to hit Y neighborhood, but from a standpoint of getting pre-warning out, we had lots of notice that things were going to be tough.

Historically, the deadliest tornado in American history was the Tri-State tornado [1], that started in Missouri and ended in Indiana.

None of these could be taken individually as they were all part of the same large mesoscale system. Lots of ingredients go into a good climate model, from which good predictions can be made.

On an "average" severe weather event, from where I live (Huntsville, northern part of Alabama just south of the Tennessee border), storms usually fire up across central Mississippi, move rapidly northeast across Alabama and dissipate or weaken as they move into eastern Tennessee.

> but you exaggerate a little

this is why it will never get fixed. every story, no matter how bad, is met with disbelief.

i, for one, am never getting married, precisely because i DO believe all these stories, and in fact i extrapolate there to be many more, far worse stories, that never get told. people don't like recounting these experiences, even anonymously.

this isn't a judgment on marriage; it's a judgment on me. i couldn't deal with a divorce and having my assets stripped from me.

thank you OP for joining the growing chorus of voices speaking out against how truly awful this entire racket is.
If that's what you want... then buy an Apple MBP, or a Dell. For a Developer that is already eying a Razer, a more reasonable response is probably "32GB, trackpoint, ability to charge via dock, Linux driver support" not "completely redo your design and form factor."

I was very fortunate to have a public speaking role a few years ago that let me speak to 1500+ people every week and I can definitely say that there are two levels IMO.

1. Actually speaking. For this, you just want to practice. Often times that's what you need. Toastmasters I've heard is great, but any chance you have to practice, just go for it. I'm a big fan of improv (I've taken the UCB course in New York while in college which is really fun!), as it gets to the principle issue: comfort. You just need to feel comfortable and part of that is really about learning how to harness your nerves. The difference in feeling between being nervous and excited may not be far apart from a physical perspective, so trying to channel those nerves and treat them as a Good Thing, is definitely what you want to do, and you're only going to get better with practice.

2. Speech writing. This is totally different, and is actually very different from something like essay writing. It's very top heavy, and this IMO can be picked up from just watching a lot of speeches. Alterations, keeping track of syllable count and sonic tricks help compose how your speech is heard, which is different from how it's understood. Learning how to get something to sound a certain way is something you don't think too much about when writing essays, but is paramount to writing speeches. In addition, learning how to format them content wise is also different from many other forms of writing. I find the best way to look at this (much like programming), is to look at existing speeches (like looking at projects), and try to understand what makes a speech 'good', and what doesn't. From Steve Jobs at Stanford to Barack Obama's Red States and Blue States (Obama really employs great melodic elements in his speeches in contrast to Jobs's more conversational story telling style) - there are many different ways to cut it, but the best is to look at what impacts you and attempt to deconstruct why.

Again, if you just want to be comfortable with speaking in public, just practice and throw yourself in there. The fear of having a bad speech is always 1000x worse than the reaction to having a bad speech. The stakes in public speaking aren't as high as most people think and often times the worst thing that can happen is boredom. I find the biggest mistake most people make is really thinking people care more than they actually do. So just go and try to have fun with it - and fake that confidence long enough until it starts to feel real :).
There's a renunciation fee, plus a renunciation tax that requires you to pay the IRS taxes equal to the tax burden due if you'd disposed of all of your US possessions on the date of disposition.

In addition, they will not allow you to renounce if it would otherwise leave you stateless.
Sorry for being too jumpy to conclusions. I responded to what I read those phrases as suggesting though, couldn't know how it was meant.

Perhaps a better wording would have clarified the whole thing, like: "They should appear interested in getting the job" or "passionate about their profession".
> Making series of small, ethical purchasing decisions while ignoring the structural incentives for companies’ unsustainable business models won’t change the world as quickly as we want. It just makes us feel better about ourselves.

Exactly. And that's the whole idea, along with signalling one's virtue to the rest of the world.
This is jibberish. Like, if you're going to say Obama was a bad president, at least focus on the actual bad shit he was directly responsible for like the ramping up of drone strikes and the Fast & Furious scandal. Don't destroy your own argument by drowning out the signal with correlated noise.
But grossly under-producing infuriates people who won't be able to purchase the product for months due to a silly marketing ploy. I still cannot buy the Nintendo classic in-store, and it came out 4th quarter 2016.
I used to live about 1/4 mile away from any other houses, and I never got why people always complained about wifi.

In my experience it always worked well, was fairly fullproof, and had fast enough speeds that it was never an issue.

2 years ago I moved into a condo that has 25 wifi APs within range of me right now. Now I get it.

Getting one of the high-end tri-band routers as you said did help, but it's still a difficult experience.
The newest distros use systemd, but IT departments seldom run the newest distros on servers. For example, AWS's Linux AWI still doesn't have systemd support.
In Florianópolis, Brazil, there's a thing called Projeto Helius where someone has placed plaques along the waterfront showing the locations of the planets, to scale. They start off deceptively close together for the inner planets, just a few minutes' walk apart, but then it really takes a while to reach the outer planets.

I walked as far as Neptune but, like the author of the above blog post, didn't continue on to Pluto. (It isn't depicted on the map, but I just checked and all of these markers are Ingress portals/Pokestops, so it's easy to find other people's maps that show them. Pluto is a little south of the end of the park there.)
In a practical sense I use most wifi about 2m from an AP, and usually on a laptop which is already plugged in.

Realistically hi power USB3 is what I should put as ports around my house and just deliver Ethernet that way.
Not until it was almost too late.
A little known fact seems to be that if you hold Option (or was it command?) on OS X while using the mouse wheel, you scroll horizontally instead of vertically. Found that out by accident.
Left and right arrow keys also work fine. I had to use them, because the scroll wheel in my mouse doesn't work well.
FATCA is relatively new, effective 2010, so if you opened your bank account before then, you may well be grandfathered in.
It is profitable for them to do that because the cost of energy is still too high.
I didn't change anything, that was a separate point in a separate sub-thread. And I didn't say everyone should be "dying for the job", I replied directly to a person who said "I need a job badly". I'm making the point that if you need the job badly, then it's better to say "I want the job badly" than to say "I need the job badly". It's better to act interested than to appear needy, given that you do want the job badly. I did not say that everyone everywhere should go around ass-kissing like crazy, you are going out of your way to take my words out of context here.
And yes, of course it's epistemology 101. But a lot of people haven't taken epistemology, and this article is a review of Dennett's book which delves into these issues for the general public.

Claim Your Voice, the one in the Bay Area by Jonathan Bender.
http://yourtruevoice.org/claim-your-voice/

This course is not cheap, but if you're serious, this was put together by a guy from a theatre background. If you think about it, actors have to learn to deal with all the things that speakers must deal with: anxiety, confidence, voice, body language, eye contact, presence, etc. This course was an eye-opener for me in many ways I had never thought of.

I highly recommend this after having been through:
Dale Carnegie - great orientation to people skills, but not a lot of speaking practice;
Toastmasters - "amateurs teaching amateurs" - groups vary widely;
Speaking Circles - touchy feely
To the title: not so, and not because I disagree with the sentiment, but because desirable has neither a comparative nor a superlative. So I parse it as not desirable at all, which the article sure won't claim. (but I aint gonna read it; too busy arguing semantics)
> String has a Deref instance for &str, so taking a reference to a String automatically works as a &str. You can also call .as_str().
>
> Going in the other direction, you can call .to_string() to make a copy of a &str as a new String.

As a beginner in Rust myself, I would like to observe that &str vs. String problems come up all the time for me. Every one of them is quickly resolved by knowing where to add an & or a method call, it seems, and experts know when to do this, and they stop noticing the problem because it's only the beginners who are doing it wrong.

But when every beginner is doing it wrong and every expert isn't, there is an ergonomics problem.
It sounds like you might have skipped over the part of the article that clarifies how Dennett is using that word. I excerpted it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13791547
If it's a mess then as a consumer they're doing a great job hiding it from me. I have 20 devices connected to my wifi and everything is running particularly smoothly. I did get frustrated at my 802.11n 4 years ago and dropped $250 for the best ac wifi router on the market and have had no complaints since then. Sure it could be more efficient from a technical standpoint but that's not something I'm interested in and I'm happy at how seamless things are for me right now.
I too wondered the down vote.

I HOPE it had more to do with some inner dealings of getting a purchase agreement. Rather than gender.

Two differences are 1) you accessed that site in the US(?) and 2) GP said businesses, which indicates a business portal rather than the consumer store.

I wouldn't be so quick to call GP a liar. If you haven't encountered it, trying to do things online in another country is an eye opening experience. For example, indeed.com wouldn't even let me go to US job listings when I was in Hong Kong. Products, pricing, everything is different. How can round trips on airfare be so different just by switching departure points? Take a one way to Thailand before you buy airfare to the US from Hong Kong. You'll save a small fortune. Do I believe Apple has silly rules based on geography, just like every other company? Yes, I do.
I've burnt out many times, been out of work for many years, am still pretty burnt out, actually. All I can say is the tech profession is not for everyone. It can start out interesting, but eventually you might come to realize it's not for you. It can be difficult and scary to switch careers though... even harder as you get older. The older I get the more trapped I feel in this profession, and the less I want to do it. But I don't have much choice.
The Tungsten doesn't support RFMON, thus it can't do packet injection, not sure how this was achieved. The most Palm OS could do was run NetStumbler, which does discovery by active beacon probing.

Maybe with a Zaurus, Libretto, or other small pocket-sized Linux machine of that era, sure.
this is awesome. It gives a much better idea of scale than any log-based thing.
The price drop was after the merger, in fact. They started bundling it with Server for free some time after that too, but I think the sun had mostly set by then already if I'm not mistaken.

In terms of memory architecture, does anybody know if Nintendo went with cartridges in order to better address the limited RAM of the system (compared to other consoles)?

In the old days cartridge ROM was just mapped into the system RAM so you could address game assets without necessarily having to load them into system RAM, thus you could get by with far less RAM than you'd expect.
Right, and then in perl5:

Betteridge's Law holds, and the author misrepresents Dennett's thesis. Dennett doesn't deny the existence of consciousness, animals, etc. as claimed, but rather says that our conceptions of consciousness, animals, etc. represent only the subset of existent phenomena that can be conceptualized with hardware that evolved via natural selection. Dennett posits that this effect favors conceptions that benefit the conceiver's chances of reproduction (either in a genetic or memetic sense) rather than conceptions that accurately represent the phenomena.

Dennett's work is much better than this review, and I recommend reading the book rather than the review.

#mgtow will always agree with your sentiments.
Why do you claim that everyone who voted Trump is a "true believer blindingly accepting everything he says?" Many Trump voters did so to vote against Clinton. At least as many were voting for the non-political establishment figure out of desperation, knowing that our country needs deep systemic change, and allowing themselves to hope that Trump could provide it.

From what I've gathered so far, the number of true believers is incredibly small, and they're exactly the type of people you'd expect to be susceptible to the words and actions of an abusive narcissist.

I seem to run into functions that require String instead of &str all the time, most recently the "assert_eq!" macro which -- maybe I'm not understanding it correctly -- refuses to compare a &str to a String.
