We wrote our own system that preauths to get AVS, mandates a match to proceed or automatically voids the auth. You wouldn't believe his many people don't seem to know their own billing address. Customers get frustrated about the strict enforcement but we've only ever had one or two complaints about held funds. We just explain that those pending charges will fall off in 24 hrs, and they accept. Frankly, if the charge risks putting the customer over their limit, then it might not be such a good idea to deal with those customers. The cheapest customers are the most trouble and carry a higher incidence of returns fraud, fraudulent chargebacks, etc.

Fellow PM. It's really hard to get this feedback from people making a real hiring decision, because any experienced HR professional knows the legal liabilities of slipping up and saying the wrong thing, or mis-representing the actual reason why you were not chosen for a position.

If I were in this position (I've done something similar for a friend in the Design industry), I would:

1.) find someone in your LinkedIn network in a senior PM or PM management position from your chosen industry,
2.) send them a few job reqs. from positions where you have applied, your resume, etc.
3.) do a couple short mock interviews (10m-15m)
4.) discuss patterns that emerge, and compare / contrast your experiences in previous interviews.

Likely, this person can be totally upfront and honest about his/her impressions, and how he would frame his hiring decision, or anything that may jump out as to why you might be getting a lot of `NO`s.

Best of luck in the job hunt!
Chez is an AOT compiler. I am not sure how the REPL operates, but I believe it just compiles expression on the fly before executing them. I suppose you could characterize that as JIT compilation, but the optimizer does not make use of any runtime profiling information. Racket's "JIT" is similar in that code is generated for a function when it is first called, but the optimizer is run on the bytecodes of the program before anything is run.

When Street Fighter V moved to the Unreal Engine, it used way more resources than its predecessor even though it didn't really look that much better.

I went from being able to play Street Fighter IV in 4K/60fps at max settings to 1080p/60fps at slightly less than max settings for Street Fighter V on my laptop with a GeForce 860M.

While I don't have hard facts, I suspect the engine change might have had a lot to do with the lower performance.

They picked the perfect plaintiff to lead this fight. A woman who did her due dilligence -- compared PayPal's website to the charity websites, donated a significant amount of money, then followed up with those donations. Unless PayPal can prove they repeatedly attempted to disburse the money to the charities by encouraging them to open an account, I don't see how PayPal can come out on top with this one.

I didn't say that Rice's theorem wasn't true. I said that in this case it doesn't matter. If program fails to compile, you don't give up because of Rice's theorem, you modify program to make it compile.

Will it make program less efficient? Who knows. There's no theorem about that. Most likely it will.

The last time I bought 'healthy' food, I couldn't use it before it's shelf life expired. Smaller portions are prohibitively expensive (it costs less for me to get something that looks better, tastes better, and has more variety going out to eat).

It also isn't cost effective for me to make the time to make my own food, even ignoring the cost of the ingredients; aside from simple things that use mostly non-perishable ingredients.

However, even going out to eat, the incentive to buy in bulk /there/ exists too. Purchase of a single meal that should fill someone up for a day has a substantial discount over getting what should be a properly sized portion for a small regular meal.

For all sides, the market incentives push towards over-consumption which is why we have the outcome we do.

I recall hearing that the cost of labor was actually one of the primary factors in meal price.

One thing I do when I can't immediately think of a domain-appropriate name is to give an obviously wrong one, like "new_function_01". During a complex refactoring, I may have dozens of such methods or variables. Eventually the variations are all smoothed out and I can replace 20 different method calls with one method call with perhaps an additional argument. That method is way easier to name.

Naming seem to be the last step of refactoring. Refactoring is the process of manipulating / identifying the semantics of an application, names are human-readable tags that ease the mental task of understanding semantics.
Was verizon sold for hundreds of millions less because of the leak? Did the ceo of Verizon hop aboard the titanic after the first iceberg and run it into another one?

I think it vastly more likely that the impact of the leak and the general performance of the company was meaningfully different than supposing gender had anything to do with it.

I think before we play the gender card it would be reasonable for the party posing the question ought to discover and consider before posing it if the idea is absurd on its face or worthy of further discussion.

One thing that always strikes me about this kind of analysis or discussion is that it presupposes we have reached some kind of evolutionary final state -- that humans now possess all of the "competence" and "affordances" that will be necessary to comprehend the true nature of our existence and experience. Personally, I think that's naive, and that we are still very far from true understanding. In the same way that a cat is very far from comprehending geopolitics or calculus.

Related to "final state" is the assumption that there will be no successor beings. Surely evolution will continue to create beings (bio or silicon) that are more competent than humans -- perhaps it already has. Cattle can observe humans and their actions, but the cattle do not comprehend that they are captive and food. I'm not sure why it would be any different between humans and successors.
As an electronic engineering student, our exams were negatively marked. If you got an answer wrong you incurred (-0.25 * $availablePoints). If you didn't answer the question you scored 0. We despised this at the time..

Now a medical student, we don't have negative marking. I feel it's actually very important in this discipline to know your limitations and not pass-off as though you know more than you do. I have however encountered resistance to this, having professors question my very reasons for doing medicine due to leaving questions unanswered..!

The idea that those who contributed to society to make it what it is should see any of the benefits instead of being tossed aside like a rag is not "Utopianism". People lose their jobs TODAY from automation, more jobs in America were lost from automation than "China". Those people may be too old to retrain, and why aren't afforded any share of the benefits from automation? Why when they did the labor to work the mines, factories, and trucks, to bring us to where we are?

That is certainly a point of view I would agree with, but that is not what I meant. I did not mean how the structure forms but how the structure becomes conscious and self-aware. Let me try to explain with a though experiment, assuming humans are purely physical.

You build a human-like robot with cameras, and microphones and actuators. You also build a gigantic mechanical computer out of gears and hook up the sensors and actuators of the robot to the mechanical computer. Finally you run a quantum mechanical simulation of a human brain and nerve system on the mechanical computer.

Shouldn't the whole thing now be equivalent to a human? Shouldn't it be conscious and self-aware? This then raises the question, when and how did the gears stop to just turn according to simple rules and became a mind capable of exploring and thinking about the world? There seems to be some kind of large jump between mindless rotating gears and becoming aware of you own existence. I have a hard time making really precise what I mean, but I hope you get the idea.

I don't have friends doing meth and going to sex parties as it would suggest is ubiquitous, nor do I know anyone who has commuted suicide, etc. There are pockets of people like this but it paints an unbalanced picture.
The need for things like this often make me sad, despite recognizing/accepting how complicated the landscape can be.

I almost always think tutorials like this make things more complicated than they need to be. Usually by including too many pieces under the "guise" that it is the "modern JavaScript stack" when many projects/companies often do not have nearly this many pieces.

In 2003, RFC 3629 removed all 5 and 6 byte encodings, effectively limiting it to 4-bytes. Of course it could be expanded at any time, but that would be a significant change to established practice, and directly contradict the rationale in RFC 3629 (that because most people use 4 bytes in practice, allowing 5 and 6 constituted a security flaw).

I think viewing healthcare in terms of choice is the wrong angle to approach it from. You can choose not to have a car, you can choose not to have life insurance. You cannot choose not to get sick. Healthcare is not a market but a basic right that almost everyone needs at some point in their life. Everyone can get the same illnesses and then need the same treatments, therefore aside from a few perks like single vs double hospital rooms there really isn't such a thing as different levels of healthcare. Given that everyone needs healthcare and how much care you need has nothing to do with your income level the fairest way to fund it is progressive taxation, from each according to ability and to each according to need in traditional socialist fashion. Any other system creates perverse outcomes, like forcing people to die sooner because their parents couldn't afford a better school for them which limited employment options.

Of course, the trick with healthcare funded through taxation is to avoid having it cut down until everyone is worse off, not just low income earners.
> i've always found it to be profoundly messed up that address validation (AVS) and security code validation (CVV/CSC) happen after the funds are authorized and held by the issuing bank.

That's because the alternative is the acquiring/issuing bank doesn't immediately reflect the authorisation in the shadow balance and only deducts it once either a confirmation has been received or a certain amount of time has elapsed, and of course that leads to a very chatty protocol and race conditions. Not to mention that the systems on the backend side at the acquiring/issuing bank would have to put the parts together.

My experience with writing integrations with acquiring banks was that you needed to issue a reversal to have the held funds actually removed from the shadow balance. But it didn't always work, something about the reversals having to be the next request immediately after the corresponding auth. Obviously this was a system not built to scale and the whole AVS/CVV was a bolt on.

AVS is most interesting because (at least using APACS 70, not so much ISO 8583 depending on the acquirer/issuer) it only works on the address numerics and not the other chars. So when you input your street number and postcode (at least outside the US) you can put whatever you want in the form as long as numbers match, anything else is thrown away.

I don't quite understand what you're saying. Using proprietary or open source software isn't a determining factor in whether the industry using it will grow quickly or slowly. For example, most computer animation software (Maya, SoftImage, ...) is closed source, but CGI in films and TV has experienced huge growth in the last 20 years.

In any case, even though ESRI is the market leader, there's quite a bit of open source GIS software (GRSS, QGis, PostGis, etc.). Entrenched markets like that don't get "disrupted" by magic, it requires people to jump in and use the alternatives on real projects.
