I'm not going to call or contact them at all, I'm no longer interested in using their services.

Which rich countries do you propose 'easily' settle 2.7 million Syrian migrants? I'd like to tell you about their nationalist/neo-fascist candidates and their vision. Marine Le Pen, Victor Orban, Geert Wilders, Frauke Petry, Matteo Salvini, Norbert Hofer, etc. They're already building walls in Europe - in Norway, Greece, in the Western Balkans, Hungary. Border controls inside the Schengen area (I saw this first hand in Sweden a couple of weeks ago). We've already had Brexit. We could have Nexit, Frexit, Italexit, Grexit, and on. You might see a significant strain on the common currency, especially with some of the capital flight already going on. If anything close to 2.7 million refugees come to Europe at once, it's going to get _very_ ugly.

Is there a way to find the precise age of your paypal account retroactively? It says mine was created the year of my 18th birthday, and I'm sure I did it all above-board, but it'd be nice to have it confirmed.

Update: It looks like you can get some day/month number if you check your account limits at https://www.paypal.com/de/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_lift-limits if you still have any, and combine them with the year it actually displays in the account settings. Makes me feel better at least.
How do you study mundane, endless trivia "right" where it's not boring or wearing you out? I managed to do what studying I needed to do but it was far from fun. The only times it was fun was when the material itself was fun. It was still work but at least interesting work. Most weren't, though.

Many great answers, and many of them encourage people to try new things, and go and try to build new things and try stuff you don't know.

I like somewhat different approach, I would take some project I think its done well, and where I no longer see obvious room for improvement.

Then I would to go github and find same or similar kind of projects, ideally created by companies with strong engineering culture (e.g. Google) and compare how I did stuff to how they do it.

You would be VERY surprised to learn just how much other people would differently solve same problems you have been facing, and you can learn a lot from comparing other people solutions to something you are already comfortable with.

PayPal is unfortunately still pretty central to eBay & I'm a payment geek so I've made a new account. Glad I didn't have any funds frozen though, that must suck.
Electronic music production: A beginner's diary
I wish that more of us could have the conversation about death and dying. In my EMS career, we see a lot of dying people. We see a lot of people with absolutely no quality of life whatsoever, literally wasting away in nursing homes. And we encounter people that really do want to end their lives peacefully and as painless as possible. Towards the end? People are frightened. I'm happy to see that studies involving psychedelic drugs has finally gotten FDA approval.

Things like that show me that maybe - just maybe - we're starting to turn the corner socially and are accepting the fact that everybody is going to die at some point or another. Hopefully.

> ...boring through rock is the most expensive way to connect 2 places.

I get the impression Musk looked at that expense, brought in some subject matter experts, probed them on why that was the case, and decided there must be a better way. From what I've read of tunnel boring, I can see that happening. Not uncommon for a tunnel boring machine to be custom-built and then abandoned in place at the end of the project. A more general-purpose or modular machine might be what he's thinking about. Unexpected geologic formations come up frequently, a function of the expense of manually-intensive sampling processes today. A robotic sampling crawler that bores hundreds of samples, and automatically classifies as it goes instead of sending to an off-site lab, building a 3D map as it moves, might be what he's looking into.

There might be red tape issues even if these technical challenges are overcome, though. Even if you propose going so deep you avoid all other underground infrastructure altogether, government bureaucracies' permitting and related processes will put a floor on the cost avoidance Musk seeks.
Is that really the impression they give?

As a wallflower I wish people would start conversations with socially inept people like me and help them ease in public outings
Also this is a great example of having rules that are bullshit enough that you can basically do anything to anyone and technically be perfectly justified according to some agreement, but also enforcing them arbitrarily enough that anyone who complains about the terms of the agreement will be brushed off as paranoid.
It likely is legal. The BestBuy extended warranties work the same way. If BestBuy ultimately needs to replace your product, then your extended warranty is finished.

Yev from Backblaze here -> the clickable links were an "own-goal" - we were moving pretty quickly and forgot to turn the defaults off in one of our email providers. Given the subject matter of the email, that was more than unfortunate. The good news on that is, we're getting a lot of support tickets from customers asking if this was a phishing email, which leads me to believe more people know about phishing scams than we though - which is great (but not for us in this case)!

We sent the general warning mostly as an FYI. We thought it would be prudent since we saw a spike in automated login attempts. We were thinking of whether or not to just write a blog post about best-practices since we don't generally email all of our users like we did here, but we erred on the side of a one-time FYI send.
I've managed to recoup most of the money (minus fees, after 30 minutes of digging and switching to the classic UI), I'm not interested in using PayPal anymore. The good thing about it being on HN/Medium and getting some views is hopefully I'll save a few people the same hassle.

I assume there's nuance to that you left out. Metal demand is inelastic. Prices would go up, demand would go down, but there would still be demand.
My biggest complaint is that javac is unaware of the claspath restrictions. I made an attempt at writing a custom compiler extension on top of the javac API, but gave up, do to various issues. One really annoying one; integration with maven was a pain, not the JDKs fault, but still...

There are other issues with many of the tools.
That's certainly an interesting design in this space. Being a laptop would make it more convenient. I think she should talk to the Purism or Minifree folks since their crowd will already pay a bit extra for free or more private stuff.
If they didn't want to be approached, they would find a way to leave the event or avoid it in the first place. A lot of times it is simple social anxiety. They are afraid that people will find out something about them; or rather, afraid that someone will confirm something they suspect about themselves (e.g., "I'm not interesting to other people.")

Those kinds of fears are generally unfounded, but it's difficult to prove to yourself that they're unfounded without actually interacting with people. But for those willing to interact with the wallflowers, they can be somewhat fearful of approaching someone with such a standoffish attitude, so it becomes a self-fulfilling feedback cycle.

Even just a little courage can go a long way. Walking across an open space can make you more approachable; for example, walking from somewhere on the edge of an activity like a dance to wherever beverages are being served can give others an opportunity to intercept you or approach you. It's not hard, it just takes some practice and the realization that the possibilities for negative consequences are much lower than the possibilities for positive outcomes.
I like,and use, Java, but the fact that the C hello world requires no "interpreter" (JREs almost always also include one or two JIT compilers, and sometimes no interpreter at all) doesn't make the comparison unfair.

In fact, it's the point of the comparison.

That said, unless the C binary was statically linked against the CRT, the size of the CRT should also be included (at least on Windows).
I had a Student account, and when I turned 18 they seemed surprised that I would want to disconnect it from my parents' account and turn it into a regular PayPal account. (I had some back-and-forth with their support, who eventually explained that my parents had to cancel my account so I could sign up for a regular account with the same email address.) This seems like the sort of thing you'd at least have a KB article about, if not an automated process, given that every single user of the service is going to want to do this eventually.
I've been using Viscosity for several years now and have been very happy with it. How does this compare?
Funny. I took care of foreign students in my German university and they get exploited the hell out.

At first they pay more than German students for the same semester, despite having worse chances to succeed (language barrier, culture barrier, fewer friends/family etc). Then they have to join preparation courses one way or another, because, you know, German isn't easy. Then they hardly get access to the public student dorms and are put 3-6 people in old, unclean apartments far away from university (partly without public transport access) and EACH of them pays as much as a German would pay for the whole apartment. Professors also have huge power over them and in some points can even enforce them indirectly to return to their home country. Old dudes (teachers, profs, organizers) dating barely legal girls in exchange for favors also is accepted practice.

Sure, the official part of everything they have to do and pay to succeed may be the same as for Germans and none of the "fees" may be labeled as such, but studying in Germany is much more expensive for foreign students than for Germans.
I'm 30s and living in SEA, opening PayPal with CitiBank card and provided proofs (scan of ID and bank statements) then they immediately closed my account. They just stated that my info wasn't met their standards. So fine, I don't use PayPal otherwise.
I can relate to the frustration but this whole article is in poor-me mode.

The author expresses his/her frustration with developing connections - I understand. The most important thing to realize is, no one wants to be around complainers.

Except other complainers, they get together and complain, and theorize about why the world is not the way they want it to be.

Being able to emotionally relate is honestly a false flag - there are plenty of people who are socially oblivious and they're doing just fine.

If the author was a super athlete and couldn't relate to people, he would simply be a 'jerk'. I bet he wouldn't have written that article :)

So really, it's not that you can't relate to people - it's that you haven't found a way to win despite having a bit of a setback and you are spending your energy on complaining.

Here's the solution: go and become really good at something, that other people value, and they'll forgive your social strangeness, in fact, they'll find it exotic and interesting.

Just go be really really good. At social dancing, at sports, at music, at dragon boating, beach volleyball, etc. Something social that takes skill and persistence that regular people don't have.

Autistic people have the gift of not being burdened by the same social programming most people are living in. The ones who take advantage of it live a great life. I mean, look at Elon Musk...

Really want to know who in the hell thought it was necessary to do lazy allocation - we don't do lazy allocation for .bss, why would it be necessary for .tbss? Especially since kernel is already doing lazy allocation (when pages are first touched)?

AFAICT there's no good reason why TLS access couldn't be just a normal segmented access and nothing more, dynamic loading or no... same as it is in the kernel.

Edit: And it's not like these are big in practice, at least in anything I have installed:

The wicked witch trope is named after the wicked witch of the west character

Yes, but the actual details of the trope go back much farther in time. The Fates of Norse and Greek mythology, the Three Witches in Macbeth, Baba Yaga from Slavic folklore. There is a long, long tradition of female characters with supernatural power, unsettling appearance and behaviour, and a tendency toward transgressing taboos such as cannibalism.

As for your Moriarty example, you're butting up against the TV industry's insistence on casting beautiful actresses in almost every role. This is a problem! If you replaced Natalie Dormer with a woman in her late 70s who's never had plastic surgeries you'd have a different comparison to think about.
Could you elaborate on this?

It's not random. It's the standard period for holding funds of a terminated merchant account with virtually any bank or credit card processor in the world. That's because it's the maximum chargeback period for most credit cards. If they release funds before that date, someone who paid you in the past could reverse that payment, and PayPal would have no funds of yours to cover it, leaving them on the hook for your loss.

Had the same issue last month after reciving a $3000 bug bounty. PP limited my account I uploaded a copy of my id, bing -> banned.

However: After calling them, they told me to create a new account and verify it with the CC and bankaccount (that were in old acc). And as soon everything was verified they trasfered the money to the new account.

So apparently it seems not to be that difficult to get your money.

> often basically just repeat source information and add unwanted opinion

I don't think this is fair or accurate criticism. There aren't any Phoronix stories that just republish the whole of the source verbatim. And even when quoting the source material, the site adds a great deal of value by identifying the critical excerpt. And the real value isn't usually in the quote itself, but in highlighting the story as a notable development in the first place. Also, I doubt you will find anything resembling the opinionated style of The Register on there. Perhaps what you criticize as being "unwanted opinion" is just some background information or a summary of the source that did not reflect your opinion?
So for interactive work? Versus updating long running server jobs?

I'm used to using the REPL in F#, but you can't redefine data types and have old code pick up on it - only new code. Such an approach is theoretically possible in Rust. Debuggers can do this for C++ to some extent.

There will always be people that make an ego-grab out of anything. As a New Mexican native, I can tell you there's plenty of chile lovers that honestly love the flavor. I love chile so much on its own right. In my opinion, the flavor is as complex as vanilla. In the right context chile tastes downright sweet. If you add chile to coffee or chocolate it can taste floral.
None of those things happen at my University. It sounds like yours was simply extremely rotten.
I once interned in a law office on Long Island. The entire place looked like it had been not only built but furnished in the 19th century. Everything in the office - from desk and tables to bookshelves and a grandfather clock - was big and heavy and made of beautiful dark, polished wood, and most of the floors were covered in oriental rugs. Each employee had a good-sized private office with at least one large window. It was like working out of a mansion from a story book.
Yeah, in my initial outburst of rage to my other half about the situation I just described it as it's like a company turning around and sacking you because you took home an expensive stapler several years ago, it's just a random get out of free card they have stored thanks to their ToS.

Not sure about UK laws, but my (limited) understanding of US law is that a minor lacks the legal capacity to sign a contract (i.e. agree to TOS). I suspect that's the legal reasoning that's caused PayPal to adopt this policy.

PayPal could and should find a better way to handle transitioning people who, out of necessity, lied about their age when they first signed up. Was signing up under false pretenses a form of fraud? Probably, but it's a form of fraud that's essentially benign and is so pervasive, online and off, that it's just stupid to treat it as such.
Erdogan is preventing journalists and private individuals from publishing (or even talking about in some cases) their opinions. He does it to hide his own crimes.

This is obviously very different from shutting down a government program. Trump is the employer of those people. He can tell them what to do. They are free to go home and say whatever they want, even about these decisions (and they are, in fact doing that).

Censorship would be Trump arresting the journalists that reported this.

I've been trying to learn about hardware-y side of networking lately, too. Three things I found useful:

- Ethernet The Definitive Guide. Part 1 (Introduction) was a good orientation. Part 4 (Switches and Network Design) talks about switches vs routers, for example.

- I've reading Network Algorithms. This book is broad investigation into "network application performance" and considers protocols, hardware, network device and network architecture, operating systems and applications.

- I've been trying to understand the low-level hardware by building a networking stack from scratch on a FPGA board. I'm using the Digilent Arty Artix-7 board ($99):

>With modern tech you can communicate with people all over the world without traveling

Internet used to be a tool that enabled people all over the world to communicate. I wouldn't have spoken a word in English if it wasn't for internet.

Commercialization of the Web killed the globalization spirit of the internet.

There's no commercial value in connecting people who are in different markets.

A Web enterprise does not benefit by showing its customers that they might be holding the wrong opinion.

Echo chambers bring loyal customers.

Globalization dies a little bit every time a curious teenager sees an error saying: "this content is not available in your country".

You are not an average internet user if you talk to the people on a different cohort, you are an elite and elites have always been communicating with the elites.
I would be tempted to have my friend now send some small amount and then take PayPal to whatever the UK equivalent of small claims court is. PayPal would then have to spend money and time to deal with you.
