This thread offers good examples of what happens if you use paypal. Similar things have happened to me.

Even ignoring the fact that I don't like paypal's business practices, and I believe paypal as a service should not be needed at all, I cannot ignore the fact that if I use paypal, I will lose access to my money and I won't be able to do anything about it. Even when using paypal purely as a proxy for buying stuff (with no money in the paypal account itself), I've had accounts locked for no particular reason (with payments denied to the seller, but me losing the money), which meant I didn't get my product and precluded me from doing business with the same seller in the future.

Paypal is a huge liability. Fortunately, it can be avoided for almost anything that matters, sans Ebay.

Sometimes I need some obsolete, unique product that is available on both Ebay and Amazon (3rd party seller), but it's more expensive on Amazon. I buy it from Amazon each time just to avoid Ebay.

> PNG rejected the APNG proposal multiple times ( Why ? )

Because it is not a still image, and therefore should have a different file signature, MIME type, and file name extension. It is simply out of scope for PNG. When designing PNG as a replacement for GIF, they very deliberately and decidedly dropped the animation feature. Implementing APNG as an extension of PNG confuses categories that should not be confused.
The pricing LOL.. one of these is wrong, if not both.

I don't mind algorithmic brainteasers - on the contrary I would absolutely love to solve such problems at work yet those seem to be scarce.
I also don't mind other types of developer work - be it more research or architectural oriented or "just" coding.

But I am not happy learning something different for interviews every few years and then forgetting it over the course of next period of day to day work. Feels like a waste of time and is confusing in regards to what one would actually do in certain job.

> -> instead of comma?

Because a comma would be a very unusual notation to separate the parameter and return value of a function.

For example a function with type "a -> b -> c" is not a function taking three parameters, it's a function taking something of type a returning another function of type (b -> c). Writing that as "a, b, c" would be an extremely weird way to write that.

> I can't remember a single instance where I ever thought of pulling the ladder up behind me.

It's really not that. The problem is that you believe personal success and failure are something that entirely depends on you. That is not the case.

You, 'rebootthesystem', were probably not taken off the shelf by God, put inside a body on Earth and left to your own devices. No, you are the product of genetics, environment, upbringing, entourage, opportunities, and so on. Each person grows up to have certain motivations (or lack of motivation) without a choice of their own.
You couldn't have been another person than the one you are right now. The choices you make aren't really choices - if you rewind the tape you'd do everything all over again, given that quantum physics doesn't intrude too much.

Your life is fairly deterministic, so you are just the sum of your past, thus it's unfair to say that your achievements are anything but the work of luck. The opportunities you were provided (like education, for example) differ significantly from what you would've had in a Bangladesh slum.

Sure, we can use other people's achievements as motivators for ourselves, but that's biology more than anything else. There's no such thing as self-made man; every person is the result of past events.
I don't feel the pain of lack of modern Java support that much, because I spend most of the time on NDK, but there the tooling support also leaves a lot to be desired, like partial STL support or the whole story regarding build infrastructure.

Your gonna end up with a bunch of Amlogic, Allwinner & Rockchip boards with little to no software support unless you get a bunch of H3 based Allwinner boards. Most of what is out there is nothing to write home about, the decent stuff (eg. OrangePi PC) is either pure luck, or browbeating by the community (OrangePi+ 2e) with the occasional vendor like FriendlyARM coming in using SOCs that the community mainlined support for.

Then you have incompetent vendors like Olimex, Pine64, Next Thing Co (of C.H.I.P., the "$9" SBC) that fuck up the hardware, software, or both, and forget critical stuff like heat spreading copper layers in the SBC (Olimex), misroute ethernet so it can't actually do a gigabit a sec (Pine64), or lie about SOC software support and scramble to port the closed blobs that make their board work forward (Next Thing Co).

I wouldn't be that sure - the tensions escalated before today's Dutch elections, but the cause of the escalation was the current ruling party (the PM banned some turkish gatherings/protests, and then blocked a Turkish minister's plane from landing in the Netherlands). So one could argue that the mainstream party tried to woo right-wing-ish voters by taking a stronger stance against Turks/muslims.

> it would be illegal to create such a DB without the consent of those whose information is stored in them.

I can imagine such an entity, at least in Germany: the Schufa, a credit rating service. It's impossible to open bank accounts, get credit or phone/internet contracts without all this going into their DB.

Better hope they secure their systems. Credit rating companies are, from their model of business, rotten to the core - and pose an extremely high risk these days where everything is computerized.
Crowdfunding #1: The Benefits of Crowdfunding
> So larger number of immigrants overall

What is the rationale behind this? Or how will this benefit existing citizens? Where do you draw the line for a cap on immigration, and why?

There is an almost infinite number of people who want to come to the US. Decisions must be made fairly and consistently, and to the benefit of the standard of living of existing citizens.

H1-B = 236K applicants / 85K spots

So that is ~150K high-skilled people who want to come but cannot right now. I would say the first priority is to ensure this system is not being used to drive down wages, and not being used to abuse migrants.

If companies still need these people to grow the economy, and cannot find US people to do it, then we should get them in first.

Family-based immigration must be done in a way to ensure that we are not creating greater demands on the economy. They should be able to support themselves and not contribute to the decrease in participation rate, and increasing unemployment.

Ok to be clear , right before multiple European elections , Putins new pal Erdogan is inciting riots, calling people Nazis because they didn't want to host his rallies for a domestic Turkish issue. Obviously these have some domestic benefit for Erdogan but also for far right European parties, many of which already have some financial links to Russia.

Monsanto have been very, very good at controlling the discussion regarding the negative impact their products have had on the world - they're very well known for the investment made in astro-turfing various and sundry places that Monsantos' crimes are discussed.

I think that, besides the obvious corruption that these court documents reveal, another conversation has to be had about how disingenuous Monsanto and its agents have been in discussing these things - using classic deflection, obfuscation techniques online.

The "Monsanto Field Manual for Internet Representatives" would be a very interesting leak indeed ..
It's frustrating that in every software licensing thread on HN people utterly miss the point of the GPL. It's not there for developers, or businesses, it's there for users.

GPL protects users' freedoms. Like the freedom to use it however they like (no 90-page EULA), the freedom to actually know what's running on their computer, freedom to change it and share changes.

But what is most annoying here is TFA doesn't really talk about this either. Protecting users is another factor when weighing up GPL enforcement strategies. If you put GPL code in a pacemaker that millions of people have, there's a very strong argument to ensure users of that can inspect the source.

Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Java and others also aren't "official Google", "Apple", "Microsoft" languages and they still run the whole web. It really question the brokenness of a company processes that refuses to use good tooling just because a corpo didn't tell them to.

Kotlin is full interoperable with Java APIs and libraries and at this point there's really very few cases where it's not a significantly better choice for Android development.
The stance taken wasn't against Turks or Muslims though. It was against an authoritarian ruler campaigning in another country to grab even more power for himself.
Awesome transitions!

One minor annoyance is toggles is meant to respond instantly, and when I click it just accelerates tad slow as to make you think it's a bit lagged.

well let us state that given the friendliness between Turkey and Russia despite the arguably staged assassination that they're either conveniently pulling in the same direction or perhaps batting for the same team.

So we can point the attack at the party potentially standing to gain from EU disruption (Russia) or at Turkey itself. Probably the most dull argument (aka most likely to be true) is that this is the work of an enthusiastic member of Erdogan's fanbase.

5 Most Dangerous Hackers of All Time
Oh my. This looks perfect to replace the plethora of daughter boards I usually have in my robotics projects: encoders, power boards for DC and servo motors, I/O boards. This also looks clearly oriented towards drones, and seems to have a lot of potential in that regard.

To be fair, I was also recently considering switching to other, more integrated boards recently; but this one seems particularly well tailored to my use case, at a decent price, and (perhaps more important in some regard) open source.

I didn't read the full specification, the only thing I am worried about is the maximum power draw (especially for DC motors). I also usually use 24V PSU/batteries, but that's only a minimal inconvenience.

That's... technically possible but it gives you a ridiculous level of time-based artifacting when you need more than 256 colors to appear at the same time.

APNG beats animated GIF for most cases where animated GIF is useful. Just like PNG beats GIF for most cases where non-JPEG images are useful.

And to be honest I find this kind of passive-agressiveness unneeded and fairly cynical.

Google reports “high-severity” bug in Edge/IE
Is there a more complete overview of this traffic situation somewhere? I still find the reasoning a bit hard to understand.

I understand that from this road, you can only ever turn right, and can do so at all times, so there's no need for a traffic light, except that it legally needs to have one because other roads at the junction need traffic lights for other reasons.

So what are the other roads here? Clearly it has to be more than just the Ziegelstraße and the Güntzstraße.

I wouldn't want to live in an economic regime where everyone was paid the same regardless of what effort they put into their work.

Income inequality is the problem that people who put the same effort in don't get the same pay. It's widely believed that women are paid approximately 10% less for doing exactly the same work as a man. There are plenty of caveats and arguments around the issue, but that's it in a nutshell. The real issue centres around salary negotiation. Women seem to negotiate less than men. They often take the first offer given, which pushes women's average wage down. It might be tempting to say it's their fault if they don't negotiate, but that would ignore the fact that someone who is paid less than their peers will leave their earlier, or quit the industry they work in entirely, which leads to a reduction in productivity across society and then everyone loses. Fixing the income inequality problem (whether it's real or perceived) would benefit all of us.

No one is suggesting that people shouldn't be rewarded more if they work harder than their peers. They absolutely should, but that reward should only be based on work done.

How we get to that point though is a really hard problem to solve. I suspect the way to do it is through a combination of blind interviews (company doesn't see the personal details of the person during hiring) and teaching everyone to negotiate their salary better. I don't think it's an engineering problem beyond the fact we can build the tools necessary to do stuff.

EDIT: You're entirely right that the suggestion in the Ask HN post has nothing to do with income inequality.

It's harder than it looks. I see two possible interpretations of your proposal:

a) Not change the worker's checklist. That would mean they should deviate from the list, creating a dangerous precedent.

b) Adding another rule to the worker's checklist. Great, now they need to check this for every single light they are working on, which means more work (is that really cheaper than the bulbs even if it's only a few seconds per light?) and more possibilities of doing mistakes.

Not to mention that the traffic light probably refuses to turn on when not all lights are installed. That means the software needs to be changed. Yet another possibility to introduce fatal mistakes at other intersections.

I prefer paying for a bulb every now and then to putting human lives at risk. Note that changing something for this intersection means changing things for all intersections, including high-traffic complex ones.
