To play devil's advocate, it may be useful to know when the card expires for a merchant who mightn't charge immediately. And maybe it's significant that the cvv is on the back so you couldn't just use a photo. And mixing letters and numbers is scary. But I agree. Maybe the solution is just having lots of entropy and reading it electronically, who really needs to read out card numbers over the phone?
What is that a picture of?
The fact that we are talking (in this physical world) about consciousness, gives me a strong indication that at least consciousness is interacting bi-directionally with physics (from a dualistic viewpoint), so it should fall in the realm of science.

Of course, consciousness could be generated by physics alone, but then we would not be aware of it, so alternatively, consciousness could be generated by physics AND exist separately from it (as an observer), but this seems much more contrived.
I haven't tried an XPS, but the Precision 7xxx stuff definitely qualifies. My 7510 came with Ubuntu, and the experience was just as polished as any Windows machine (better in some ways, as they had configured their way around some Skylake-specific issues that still affected Windows at the time).
Code with long identifiers is harder to read, not easier to read. It's harder to see the flow of data and the flow of control, because there is invariably a soup of common prefixes throughout, performing the contextualization.

Are you asking about payments specifically or general "how things work" series?

When Apple Pay launched, Clover had a detailed post on tokenization.

There aren't any backdoors. Also, you don't use the trackpad on a Lenovo, you use the trackpoint.

Those DELLs have terrible keyboards (as a programmer, I spend most of my time typing in vim using i3 WM), and they aren't built to last.

If you have qualms about the pricing of Lenovos, its pretty easy to dig up corporate discount codes on /r/thinkpad or you can use a .edu email address if you still have one to get a student discount long after graduating. Usually that gets you anywhere from 25-40% off depending on the promotions.
Goodenough strikes again with new glass battery
Setting all APs in one network to same ESSID is exactly wbat you should do and for half-reasonable APs that works well.

Big name brand vendors will sell you APs that support some proprietary coordination mechanism between them (usually with central "wireless network controller" as separate device), but that is not required for roaming to work. Such solutions (apart from centralized management) are mostly to keep your APs from interfering with each other (which is non-issue unless you have more than three and unless they are placed in unfortunate physical locations).
I think the OP's point is that credit scores may be conditioned to assume regular income if a person has a good payment history. In doing so they are failing to capture a new and growing dimension of risk: peoples incomes are more precarious.
We started with Serverless as well, but as soon as we started to do more complex stuff it showed its limitations and we ended up writing lots of CloudFormation resources in serverless.yml. That was no benefit over pure CloudFormation anymore, especially as Serverless uses YAML, but relies on some notations from JSON-CloudFormation templates, I assume because it pre-dates the introduction of YAML for CloudFormation templates.
In the end we switched over to CloudFormation with SAM (Serverless Application Model) and while that also still has some rough edges, we have been pretty happy since.

So if you don't rely on the cross-provider features Serverless offers I suggest to take a look at CloudFormation + SAM instead.
I find this suggestion very funny: "Additionally, YouTube publishers should skip ads when viewing their own videos to avoid artificially inflating advertiser costs."

Maybe they should recommend installing an ad-blocker :)
Identifiers have the same problem that comments have: the thing identified can grow different responsibilities than its name. You don't get magically updating identifiers any more than you get magically updating comments.

I've found that people who believe too much in the ability for identifiers to tell the story of the code factor too much stuff into separate non-reused functions. The result being that you can't take the name at face value; you need to push the current context onto your mental stack, drill into the identifier being called, and if necessary continue drilling, until the unstated side-effects and extra bits and bobs that always accrete in continuously maintained code become clear. This code is ironically harder to read than inlined code.
It saddens me that you are being down voted. There's plenty of reasonable debate to be had around how different types of foods make you feel, whether that leads to over / under-eating, allergies, etc. But the premise that one's total calorie count is the most important (and perhaps only) factor in determining weight is not a radical thought.

I have to wonder about this teaching method of his. It sounds like one of those terribly demanding programs that is just wonderful with the best teachers and the most serious and motivated students, but falls flat with the ordinary and the reluctant.
No, it's not a dark pattern, you have a clear choice, just one being less advertised than the other one.

And Mozilla is the one with opt-out of all of the unethical features in Firefox. They have no ethics, looking like they care about those things is nothing more, but PR. After all, corporations are not people.

I'd be interested in reading a source for this, because that would be pretty big news.
I'd expect the book to contain well thought-out non-obvious conclusions from those rather obvious assumptions. Perhaps expanded by giving examples of potential underlying mechanisms.

No, that's not his position. His position is probably this: Judges are constrained by case load and the limits of the law - so even without an agenda outcomes are often bad. Add to that their reliance on 3rd parties and the attorneys and it goes from bad to worse.

Hadn't heard of it either, but it does sounds like the typical Google incorrect algorithm ban followed up by atrocious customer service:
http://www.fark.com/comments/blog673/Fark-NotNewsletter-Goog...

I've definitely talked to other people who tried to monetize with Google, had their ads shut off with no clue why, and were looking for new solutions. So it isn't a rare story. Google is sort of the PayPal of ads in terms of incorrect account freezes and bans that never get resolved.

I don't even bother with their advertising solutions in my mobile apps any more since competitors generally offer better pay for the same clicks with less hassle.
My favorite on is by Uesugi Kenshin.
"Even a life-long prosperity is but one cup of sake;
A life of forty-nine years is passed in a dream;
I know not what life is, nor death.
Year in year out-all but a dream.
Both Heaven and Hell are left behind;
I stand in the moonlit dawn,
Free from clouds of attachment."
I can definitely see the utility of a simple device. It seems like a niche market, but there's nothing wrong with being niche.

However, you'd think they would update the radio so it would work in more places....
None. Typical usability testing with watching people do things doesn't apply to programming languages, because of how much more complex and larger languages are in comparison. At best this approach can be used to test usability of tooling, IDEs, but that's it.
Yes, it was county/city jail. And yes, that's where they would "naturally" go, but many of the child support cases probably don't need to be in jail. Some do, some don't, the ratio is debatable.
It's not like Nokia are pioneering dirt cheap feature phone, they even have a few themselves. When people are bearish on the 3310 launch, it's not because there isn't a market for feature phones, it's because this market is already well served (including by Nokia), and most of the people who remember the 3310 fondly has owned fully featured smartphones for a decade.
Probably places like Genentech and many others. Does anyone know the new Cupertino layout apple will employ in their doughnut building?
An anedcote: my boss was PM for building a new building and his claim was that offices with sheetrock and (steel) studs was cheaper than cubes.

We still had cubes. Because you have to have cubes.

And of course the Edifice Complex held - we were sold before everything on the building was done.

Most cases settle when the parties run out of money. That's inherently bad from a public policy perspective, but nobody cares. As for child support, the funds wasted trying to determine both parties incomes and on discovery is the issue, driven by the receiving spouse - not by the children. Its fair on paper only. In practice its hopelessly broken.
> I live in a society where the white male has power

What power do I have as a white male? Please be specific. Don't show how I'm treated better than others, show how I have power.

I've never shown up at a job interview unqualified... and been told "Yup, you get the job because of your skin color and your genitals".

While there are systemic racial differences in the US, they're not always what you think. Which race has the highest average income? Is that because that race is part of the majority?

It's not. So... how come if society is here to keep "white men" in power, that Asian-Americans have the highest average income? Are they the secret power behind the throne? [1]

Well, no one on their right mind would say so. Yet people are happy to claim that there's some kind of conspiracy to keep another race in power. I dunno... I've never been contacted and asked to join the conspiracy.

I still see quite a few of them even among the 30-50 years-old range. Here in the lowest rungs of the developed world, the choice is often between a featurephone or a very cheap Android, and the latter are often unusable crap. Personally, I use a 20€ Wiko Lubi4 and a tablet instead. Smartphones are jack of all trades, but not really satisfying for any.

That said, even my Wiko does support four networks. Seems shortsighted to be selling these nowadays, even in the markets they're targeting.
Check out http://pre-commit.com/ with its "detect-aws-credentials"-hook, if you are serious about finding AWS credentials configured for AWS CLI/boto/etc. in your code.
"git-secrets" will only check "./aws/credentials" for configured AWS credentials and not all other locations (different files, environment variables) where such credentials might be configured.
Yes that's true, good point.
Without addressing the implied question of market validation and user research, there are lots of reasons why power users of such hardware would want something more powerful than an Android platform that is really only usable for installing things from an app store.

Really? The Cirrus SR20, SR22 don't count? Haven't they been outselling the 172 for several years now?
These top comments are blowing my mind! Surreal that we've descended to the point where the president is tweeting? Indeed, I suppose, that the media refuses to publish the truth. How are you not in utter shock, that the president wire-tapped the opposing campaign and pushed a story about Russia they knew was false. This is the biggest political event in my lifetime by a long shot.
I know this as "black magic", and the item prior to the correct item would be black.
> if you need more entropy then add another digit.

That would break so much as most of the message formats and batch files use fixed width fields. It's probably the same for the databases underneath. Changing to alphanumerics sounds nice but the check digit algorithm would have to change from Luhn to Luhn mod n. More breaking changes.

Banking systems are one of the ultimate forms of legacy, which is why most of the security additions have been bolted on. Just look at 3D secure - they added an entire subsection to the message format and it was still just another single factor auth method that nobody wanted and everybody hated.
At, AFAIK, almost double the cost. They're different parts of the market.
Equating outdated city-level taxi regulations to universal law punishing murder is disingenuous, to say the least.

FTC did a report [1] in 1984 about taxi regulations and pointed out why cities were not well-equipped nor incentivized to regulate for the purpose of market efficiency:

> There are, in fact, reasons to doubt that existing regulations are efficient. One problem is
that the analytical and informatiqnal problems involved in determining the efficient levels of the relevant policy variables are great. It is doubtful that regulatory authorities generally have the necessary expertise or information to determine these levels. Also, taxi ordinances and the government agencies that issue taxi regulations may not be motivated primarily by concern
for market failure and achievement of an efficient resource allocation. It appears that taxi regulations have often been designed to protect public transit systems and existing taxi firms from competition.

Adjusting Child Processes for PHP-FPM Nginx
I think part of the problem might be that String and &str are not related in any intuitive way. My initial work in Rust was littered with what the heck is this, what's a str that there's a reference to, etc.

I understand now, but initially it made absolutely no sense that String is a heap-allocated owned string and &str is a reference to a chunk of string data of known length stored somewhere that I probably don't have to care about.

It may be a teaching thing, but I do wonder if they could have been named better. I just don't really know what else you'd call them without them becoming overly verbose.
Ask HN: Could it make sense for Apple to switch to AMD
Hacker news: could it makes sense for Apple to switch to AMD? Any ideas on the likelihood of a switch given the high performance and low cost of Ryzen chips?

I am not a hardware expert so I defer to HN. From a cost perspective it seems like it could make sense to increase Apple margins and maybe decrease costs to increase Mac penetration. Intel has also been known to miss deadlines and cause issues for Apple product launches.

What does everyone think?

If you look at the history of most small aircaft you can find military involvement at the beginning, usually wanting an aircraft for training or spotting.

Militaries with big budgets don't have much reason to buy small fixed-wing piston aircraft anymore, or at least they lack the incentive to invest in new clean-slate designs. And if you don't have that startup customer willing to make a big purchase and maybe even fund R&D it becomes impossible to justify a new type.
I think a lot of this is the 2004 model of plopping an integrated router/access point/modem in a single location in their house simply doesn't work any longer. At least for any sort of Urban deployment. You are seeing many large companies also realizing this and trying to bring products to market.

You can get very solid wireless in your house if you are willing to spend some money on it, and of course the time on the infrastructure. This means a network drop to each room, and very dense access points.

If you try to play games and avoid the "running wires to a room" part - you're just going to have a bad time. I don't see the "mesh wireless" stuff working long-term, they are simple stop-gaps. Once in the room though you can get away with wireless.

I recently just "made it rain" access points (ubiquity in this case) more or less so anywhere in the house you have or are very close to having line of sight to an AP. Since that transition wireless is as good as wired for me.

It's a bit more expensive, but also makes my quality of life far better. Everything just works. I also took the opportunity to get a quality PoE switch for the telco closet, a solid UPS, etc. Now my network survives power outages for 5-6 hours from a single UPS and switch, powering half a dozen APs throughout the house. Bonus is the PoE IP cameras also stay working during an outage.
I think "nicely and strictly" is an overstatement here. You still have to deal with southeast Asian scripts (which require a dictionary to find line break opportunities), and then there's the whole complex regex for numeric expressions (Example 7 in the Examples section), which ICU implements. I didn't bother with that in xi-unicode (it's not clear it improves matters much), but I do want to get Thai breaking nicely.

On top of that, the Unicode rules do a very poor job with things like URLs and email addresses. The Android text stack has its own layer (WordBreaker in the minikin lib) on top of that which recognizes those and implements its own rules.

But TR14 is a good start, for sure.
Does anybody know if using Stripe if we can pass the 2.9% fee onto our customers? We offer customized consulting plans that vary and typically in the thousands, so thinking of just adding a 3% credit card processing fee to the invoice for clients that use card.

Researching around the net, it seems for traditional brick and mortar, some issuers don't allow you to charge a percentage based card processing fee. Any idea is this is allowed on Stripe?
I'll assume you are being serious. Many people don't use or want facebook. The only reason it's still on my phone is because I've been too lazy to figure out how to delete the pre-installed applications
So... how do YOU plan on correctly predicting how popular or unpopular something is?

Isn't this one of the major pain points for many small companies that put stuff up? Correctly gauging 1) how much it costs to mass produce something and 2) how many they actually will sell?

If you are in charge of Nintendo... and you put something out like the Wii, Nintendo Class, etc... how do you expect to get the amount sold right on the first shot?

In my opinion? It's a damn hard problem... it only takes a little bit of internet power - everyone going ape shit over something inconsequential - and BAM what you expected to sell 1 million units is now out of stock and you have millions of people mad.

Now that millions of people want it... will they still want it in 6 months when you ramp up production or is the fad over?

People make it seem like this is an easy question to answer... where is the millions your willing to put on the line for similar questions...
In practice, on most older types, you have to trim them to achieve hands free straight and level flight.
Flip-side of that is the timbers are all old growth redwood. If you ever poke at the stuff after 100 years as long as it didn't get wet it's fine. 50-50 chance whoever buys this place will replace the foundation. And hopefully with proper concrete. Do that and the building will last into the next century.
Are you alright?
Wikipedia lists the 172 as a variant of the 170, a tail dragger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_170

"where one might expect to find the most rigid and staid of people"

Then, as you suggest, you are unfamiliar with the Church or the state of Catholic clergy. There is variation up and down the hierarchy. The image you have in mind is comical and Hollywoodesque.

“You don’t need a hydrology course to learn to swim"

Naturally. There is a difference in learning the language and studying the language. The aim of the first is fluency ad facility. The aim of the second is understanding of the language as such. A native English speaker may have a poorer theoretical grasp of the his own language than a non-native speaker, but he can have greater fluency. The two, of course, can mutually reinforce one another and often do.
There is nothing wrong with buying in bulk, and cooking in bulk is a good way to save money and time: just put the rest in the freezer.
anecdata of 1: I used to work for an italian boss who worked her ass off to become a professor. I had a lot of respect for her. But I could tell that at some level she had been fighting stereotypes (both on the nationality/gender issues) her whole life. She hired an italian postdoc who was basically a walking stereotype. He never came in to work, did shoddy work when he did come in. It was a disaster. Generally I thought of her as a very "tough but fair" boss, there was one time where she got extremely upset at grad students for using the wrong instrument for critical experiments (but really, they should have known better). But. I could see steam coming off of her head in her interactions with him. She eventually quit being a professor, but didn't tell him that she was quitting, basically he showed up to work one day with no job.

My understanding is that there's a north/south work ethic stereotype within Italy, and maybe that the regional attitude differences are not as well appreciated outside of Italy, moreso outside of Europe. She was from the north. Non so de dove il postdoc viene.
