It's also worth noting that if you do a chargeback, a company like Uber will often block your account and phone from using their services. Doing a chargeback against Steam for instance and they will ban you, preventing you from playing games you've paid for ("leased" more accurately). So, it's important to be careful about doing chargebacks unless you're sure the company you're doing a chargeback against is one you never wish to do business with again.
Google operates on references/links, so maybe the news about the controversy is enough to generate the top results?
Speaking from the Emacs side of fence, my brain doesn't "point" in Emacs shortcuts either, but it sure does intuitively translate "I want to be there" / "I want to change that" to a series of keyboard presses, usually much faster than I could ever achieve with moving a mouse and clicking.
This is certainly the case for credit cards, and in my experience, with checking accounts. The bank or processor will manage the investigation and go after whomever stole the money to recover their loss after reimbursing you.

Interestingly, I had someone steal my debit card several years ago, and they went to CVS or Walgreens (can't quite remember). They purchased Visa gift cards, and had video of the transaction in which my card was used to purchase a Visa gift card, so they should be able to have Visa provide the information about the stolen card or at least void it, but they will not. For some reason, Visa et al have decided that it's better for them to just eat the several hundred dollar cost of the card.
Generally writes not aligned to cache line are slightly slower on most common architectures, vastly slower on others. (Such as many MIPS)

Small write calls themselves incur a considerable syscall overhead.
It relies on various hacky patches to e.g. gtk+2.x. There's an extension to add it to GNOME 3, but it still relies on those patches. Ubuntu planned to remove as many patches as possible. So with the extension and those patches it will currently be possible, but might not in future when they remove the patches.

So basically: maybe yes, maybe no.
What do we mean by fake news, and how can we combat it?
He could probably get it refunded by the bank/credit card company. It was fraud so there's no problem getting a full refund incl FX fees.
Yes, I only skimmed the post so maybe I missed it but it struck me as odd that there was no mention of contacting the bank.
He seems to be operating under 3 main delusions (with a healthy dose of caste-related inferiority complex mixed in):

1. Confusion about the differences (or even the fact that they are different) between copyright, trademark, and patent. He copyrighted some software called "EMAIL", which anyone could do. That doesn't give him any ownership of the term "email" (as a trademark would), nor does it register him as the inventor in any way (as a patent would).

2. A belief that being (maybe) the first to name something X makes him the inventor of X. (At best, he could possibly be described as "one of the first to coin the term 'email'.")

3. A belief that naming something X subsequently defines what X is. Hence, he disregards all predecessors as "not X because they are not exactly the same as what I called X".

Over time, his caste-related inferiority complex seems to have evolved into a strong mistrust of recognised authority ("What does Vint Cerf know?") and then further into a conspiracy about the "military-industrial complex".

He seems more sadly deluded than an intentional charlatan.
When I opened Xcode preferences first time, I thought it was a bug or there's another real preferences dialog somewhere.
None of those comments are complaining about PHP being slow at repeatedly writing a string whose length is a multiple of the page size to standard output. That is a pretty niche case, and hardly refutes even the complaint that PHP is slow, much less all the complaints about PHP that aren't related to its speed.

FWIW, when I run the tests there's no substantial difference between Perl, LUA, or PHP.

Could you elaborate on your comment about modern spatial databases not sequentializing storage along the curve? I would imagine parallel access across the curve, but wouldn't you want some reasonable sequential access at each cluster node to maximize IO speeds?

I've read your blog entries on SpaceCurve (http://www.jandrewrogers.com/2015/10/08/spacecurve/), found them very interesting but also just whetting the appetite. Are there no public reviews or papers covering discrete topology/sharding?
Studies (that I don't know how to look up and probably am remembering wrong) show that the eye jumps forward and back while reading. It is easy to use eye tracking to figure out what word your eye is looking at. They used some scheme to figure out what word subjects were reading, and blurred the rest, and it slowed reading down when the next two and previous words were not readable.

Thus the limit is not mechanical as the eye is moving faster than the brain to feed both the current word and preprocessing of the next few.

"This will take about 16 minutes, so you probably want to switch your emulator into “Warp Mode”. "

I wonder what an equivalent guide written 30 years in the future about today's software would say. "At this point I realised the file was encrypted with 128 bit - so I routed it through the quantum decryptor circuit to find the key"...
The problem is that we have two formulations of physics. Basically, gravity and everything else. Theories such as QCD, QED, etc give rise to quantum mechanics, electricity and magnetism, etc. In these theories + and - charges for example feel an attraction to each other due to an exchange of "virtual" particles. General relativity is based on geometry as you say. Physicist would like to have one framework to describe everything--that's why it would be nice to find a graviton.

I've never issued a charge back so I'm in unknown waters, but if I wanted to keep my account with Steam after a charge back, couldn't I just update my account to use a different credit card?
they do, but the canadians aren't stupid; they move to us jobs for 2x the compensation. the canadian offices are staffed mostly by non-canadians who couldn't get H1Bs or TNs but could qualify for the equivalent canadian visa.
If Apple bought Tesla, it would end up being the biggest tech boondoggle in history. The money is in licensing the software for autonomous cars, not the car itself.
Oh, and you're at least on par with expected performance.
what browser do you use for vim bindings?
Bothers me that Apple invests it's time on this.

Honestly if Apple disappeared tomorrow someone else would manage to fill this car gap just fine. But if Apple disappeared tomorrow who would fill the gap their computer hardware and OS left?

Windows is getting slowly better but I don't think it will ever truly manage to be as slick as OS X. Especially when the passionate Windows insist on using an 8 year old OS and devs insist on writing software using the same systems and libraries they were using 15+ years ago.

To me Apple is only valuable as a computer company, an Apple car would just be a toy for the super rich.

I do wonder if this project came about as a way to keep talent in the building?
Emerging #Matrix #Banker Trojan Is Targeting Banks in Latin America
I could imagine that in fifty years from now, there would be an internet history trivia saying "Did you know this guy invented the email and he never got credit for it?" and nobody will care if it is true, they will just go with it, because this pure guy was against all the others. Maybe, he will get his own fan-base too.
In other /mildlyinteresting thoughts, Did anyone ever run a FidoNet node?
Yes, I know :) . Having learnt to program some microprocessors, I love how everything is evaluated in terms of jump-if-zero, jump-if-not-zero. Well, even some cracks to copy-protection from older games (dating myself here) was just a single change from a hex 74 to a hex 75 somewhere in the code.

And, sometimes, even in small programs, knowing where you are after some jumps is a messy thing.

I just don't have all that rant against jumps (or goto's). I know where they live, what they eat, when they are useful and when are not. :)
I suspect the argument here is simply "we refunded the exact amount we received!" and that they bear no responsibility for the foreign transaction fees, which were probably from the owners' bank.

It sucks but it makes sense for the merchant. The bank should return the fees but the exchange rate difference is likely lost.

Also another good reason not to use a debit card for any online transaction. At least with a credit card, no one can take your money while they're settling the dispute.
No, because they ban the account, not the credit card.

You can make a new account and use a new credit card I guess, but you still lost your library of games.
I know lots of people aren't going to like this answer, but the NRA probably has the information you're looking for.

There's a search page to help you find a course near you (by zip code)[0]. If you scroll down to the bottom of the table, there's the "NRA Home Firearm Safety Course" which goes over basic handling procedures for various types of firearm. It also goes over some topics more specific to storing firearms in the home, but is mostly a general safety course as far as I understand.

This is why I don't buy Steam games. In fact, I don't buy any game I can't control an independent copy of.
The common thread is governments lying to their people about radiation releases.
It seems like this behavior should also be reported to the credit card companies. In the case of Steam, it seems like what you should do is have the credit card company charge back ALL the purchases you made if they ban your account.
Thanks! That's now fixed.

>I think it's much more important to manage the access to ammunition. After all, a gun is only actually dangerous when it's loaded. Sure, a gun that isn't loaded can still be used to threaten people (because even then it demands attention and the utmost respect) or even pistol-whip them. But it is very unlikely to be used to kill anyone or anything.

This isn't really workable. One of the primary ways criminal gangs acquire firearms here in the US is through "straw purchases", where they have someone with a clean record go purchase a gun for them.

This works fairly well for them, but has its limits: if guns you've purchased later turn up in crimes, you're likely to face pointed questions. You can't do this too often without putting yourself at serious risk.

But straw purchases of ammunition are almost impossible to track. If the buyer is asked to account for their ammunition, they can simply claim to have shot it all already.

Meanwhile, it adds great expense to ammunition (My local stores mark up their ammo nearly 100% already, and it will become worse next January once it's illegal for me to order ammunition online). And because criminals actually use very little ammunition, this cost falls almost entirely on legitimate target shooters and hunters, who are the ones shooting tens of thousands of rounds a year.

The account itself has a restricted set of functionality. Although a little sleuthing on Google seems to indicate there is a time horizon on this. Possibly while they investigate?
Well your card is linked to your account. So you can start a new one, but you won't have access to any of your old games

Anyone have RSI problems with mice?

I switched to a touchpad over 10 years ago, and my right hand RSI problems went away.

But with an Ubuntu 16.04 upgrade, the touchpad driver went to hell (don't get me started...) and I've been using a mouse again for the last several months. So far no problems, but I really wish I could go back to my once-trusty Logitech touchpad.

We disagree then, I think they absolutely should prioritize that because of the tax contribution of the victim. If I pay someone $1000 for a job, and you pay the same person $100 for an opposing job - you should lose. That's only my capitalist opinion, but I don't think it's an unpopular one.
It clicked for me after reading Joe Celko books: https://www.amazon.com/Joe-Celko/e/B000ARBFVQ
Can you name any theory that evolved through decades without empirical validation to suddenly surface into something testable and getting verified? In any science you want, does not need to be physics.

Most new theories usually take days to months to develop, and are small increments over older theories that will then take years to test and, if validated, become the basis of newer theories. There are very few exceptions of theories that took years, but then those were developed by a lone individual, not a mainstream thing.

The tyranny of verificationism is the only thing guiding theory development. Without it people are blind. Yeah, it's useful to walk blindly for a while, but it has never been useful to wander very far.
the main reason to used credit vs debit is the longer time window alloted to dispute charges. in some cases, debit cards only allow 48 hours.
The only sane default is to have no nameservers configured.
Uber has no way of accounting for the exchange rate changes from their end. A charge back will fix the problem for the OP.
A few good points have already been made in the other responses, and I want to add an additional observation: To me, the core of the issue is not in choosing between "non-deterministic" testing vs. a tiny set of hand-chosen examples.

Rather, to me, the issue is exhaustive testing vs. non-exhaustive testing. Typically, critical issues in complex systems only arise extremely rarely. Consequently, randomized testing typically does not bring them to light. There may definitely be cases where it is useful, and it can certainly easily be more exhaustive than a small hand-picked set of unit tests. But the core issue is still that I typically need exhaustive tests to be more certain about relevant properties.
Optimizing JavaScript code
To be honest, I'd go even further - I think we rarely code more than 10% of our time. I know, there is an argument that implementation matters – you don't think about typing at all with good sense of the keyboard, but I personally think it is overrated; unless you are super slow typists, it does not really matter.

What matters, though, is the fact that it is some kind of an art – people master it, people enjoy when they are able to accomplish some tasks in an elegant way (coarse example is macro in vim).
I responded in the terms you were using, hoping that it would become clearer to you.

> It is not obviously incorrect that one time a Pinto beat a Tesla

Yes it is, because OP forgot to mention the Tesla was dragging a bunch of rocks and the Pinto was dropped off a cliff. So was I supposed to have the power to read OP's memories and go back in time to check whether they provided us with all the information we needed to check their claims? No, I worked with exactly what's in the comment.

So without catering to your language/terms you use: it is obviously incorrect. Even OP's own comment later in the thread (on a modern system though, mind you) shows that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14544002

Ha - im my reply to a sibling comment to yours I mentioned a talk by a hypnotist. By way of a demo he had us to close our eyes, bow our heads, clasp our hands together and imagine they were glued in place, telling us there were probably one or two of us who would be unable to move them after a couple of minutes of listening to his voice. Sure enough there were. Did nothing for me.

He also said it was impossible to tell whether those who said this were telling the truth, just wanted to please him, or wanted to act up or get attention.

Perhaps those in your group who stayed were more inclined to just go along with it.

As both a Lotus fan and an Apple fan, I'm not sure their goals are at all aligned. Lotus is singularly focused on a "pure driving experience" and their cars are minimalistic (very few driving aids, very little noise insulation, thinly padded seats, firm suspension damping) by design. They only recently adopted automatic transmissions in their "flagship" car (the Evora). I really don't think an autonomous Lotus would be "a Lotus".

I would be shocked if any current or potential Lotus owner would be interested in a "automated Lotus". That being said, I think the number of "current or potential Lotus owners" is a vanishingly small market, so it may not matter.

How is this company raising so much funding?
>>Uber quickly agreed to refund the money. Problem is, the value of the currency had changed, so the money refunded was less than the money stolen: $406.70

I'd just like to point out that if the currency value changed the other way, he would be refunded more money.

I actually wondered where is that money technically going in this case. I rented a car abroad once, a block of 3000 Euro was put on my card, then when it was released I got less money back than it blocked originally since the currency rate has changed. So someone made money on just blocking that money for a few days, but who? The bank?
5 hard-earned lessons from a decade of Rails performance work
It seems to me that there are disadvantages to widespread IPv6 adoption for some big companies. For example, storage providers like Dropbox or Google Drive would take a hit if I were able to send files via a direct connection to a friend's computer, which is possible with IPv6. Right now, the best way to send large files is to upload them somewhere and then send a link (dynamic DNS is also possible, but certainly not as easy to set up as simply being granted a globally routable IP address). Another example is for ISPs or anyone who sells static IP addresses (e.g. AWS); IPv6 means severely decreasing the scarsity of a resource that they own and profit from, which I'm sure they wouldn't like.

To generalize, I think IPv6 represents more freedom for end-users in the form of better p2p services, but I think it also represents a loss in profit for some large companies. These companies play a roll in the IPv6 rollout, so maybe it's not surprising that the rollout has been slower than expected.
This really should apply to all software.

I use Upwork. Communication is really important, so talk to people before you hire them to make sure they speak your language fluently (and I really mean fluently). There are a lot of companies pretending to be single devs on Upwork, so ask them directly before you begin the contract if they're a company or a single person.

I've had some good experiences with accidentally hiring companies, but most people prefer single devs because of the risk of paying for overhead rather than quality work.

Once they're working for you, check in with them twice a day and ask to see progress. If you can't see it, it hasn't happened yet.

Always, always do fixed-fee contracts (never hourly). Put the money in escrow.

Isn't it still impossible? You can only hack it if you can guess the PIN or in cases where the victim wrote it on the card. The latter happens quite often and this is where banks sometimes refuse to pay.

If you keep your PIN secret it's a very secure system (unless the attacker is very lucky).
Yes, I was surprised that the article didn't mention neurogenesis. It's worth pointing out a result from game theory: Given related individuals (using the example of two shepard brothers who may signal each other for help) there are many signaling equilibria. The particular path is sensitive to random initial conditions. Interestingly, even for a simple game where a non-signaling altruistic solution dominates, a signaling solution reliably emerges and converges.
