Most of the problems are solvable, if proper tools are used. Microsoft provides "PDB" files, which contains symbols for ease of debugging. You can get them from Microsoft's symbol server. Load the symbol and the binary in IDA, and the generated pseudo code is enough for most scenarios.

In theory, debugging programs on Linux should be easier. However, for some distributions (like Arch Linux) debug symbols are not provided. You have to compile the program on your own if you want to debug. It's especially painful if the target program has a large codebase!

It's horrifying that standards of education have fallen so far that a national political leader can say things like this with a straight face and enough voters will believe them to make it a viable political strategy. Our leaders here in the UK and in several of our European neighbours are no better.
I Have No Enemies: My Final Statement (2009)

Isn't this the same for all types of public transportation? I sometimes find BART very disgusting. If you ride it 11PM on a Friday night, the whole section reeks of drunken people smell. Not to mention, you sometimes see throw ups that never gets cleaned.

It also has a lot to do with competition and the self driving taxi market. If self driving taxi company A is consistently giving riders bad experience with dirtiness, then there's going to be a company B that will come out with cleaner solution.

If you think about it, there are far more places that's more disgusting than self driving taxis..

Not sure why they draw the conclusion that the aversion is about not wanting to upset the social hierarchy. That's an amorphous statement in any case and carries different connotations.

Seems a more succinct conclusion is that it's about fairness. Most view the economy as a zero-sum game, and we generally measure our standing in society relative to others. So, the idea of redistributing wealth to the point where relative fortunes are being inverted may violate our sense of fairness.
Dragging my name into threads about harassment is lazy analogizing. Adding the post hoc, propter hoc fallacy (I got a CEO startup job and funding after being "pushed out", therefore because of that) is just dopey. I founded Brave, it was not just a job offered to me.

Nothing about my exit from Mozilla made fund-raising or building Brave easier than it would have been without my exit. If I had stayed at Mozilla and managed to sell the Brave plan internally (unlikely), I'd have had lots more funding and market power. What I've done has been achieved through careful planning, hard work, and help from the great team I recruited.

You can stop dragging my name into these kinds of HN threads now (two and counting!).
From my friends' stories, Japan healthcare experiences were pretty bad:

1. Extremely long lines in small rooms, so people cram together to get a better chance of coughing on each other.

2. For any illness doctors listen to you and prescribe exactly three drugs: antibiotic, pain reducer, and "something for stomach". For any symptoms.

3. There is no "sick leave" thing, so if you're sick -- you are absent.

4. Because of #3, people always come to work being acutely sick (so if it's flu, they cough on each other, obviously).

Although labor traditions are the horror story of its own, no one worked there recommens to ever do that (just youtube for "working in japan").
I am drunk, don't count on me. I will tell you tomorrow.
In most cases each apartment block have it's own parking lot off the street. Wether it's 5, 50 or 100 years old. Many streets are too narrow for parking on both sides. Tiny lots either cause spill over to other parking lots nearby or illegal parking on the greenery or in the street (illegal because street is too narrow for parking).

A recent example.. There was a mall with a parking lot, not too small not too big. A new apartment building was built. One of their selling points was huge free parking nearby. Mall was pissed off that their parking lot is full and customers can't find a spot and installed barriers to prevent overnight parking (2 or 4h free, longer - €€€). Now people who bought apartments are pissed because they were told the parking lot was public (= gov-owned). Mall customers are pissed because barriers is inconvenience. Mall is pissed because operating barriers cost them extra money. City is pissed because suddenly they have a load of cars on narrow street nearby. The only ones who won are the sleazy developers.

Another issue is small apartment blocks built in single-family houses quarters. Tiny streets over there can easily take a car or two in front of each house. Then suddenly a 6-apartment building comes up and there're 10 cars in front of a property that'd otherwise have 1 or 2 cars. This happens in rather remote suburbs mind you.
Hopefully this can be expedited by translating from the New Zealand version which is released. Just lower the prior probability of sheep and you're done!
Thank goodness.

The Indian H1B folks have over run DFW. I was just told today that one of the H1B folks is going full time and the company is doing the paper work to make it happen (Green Card). It's a shame because they could have certainly hired a local person or a kid out of school but I suppose they can pay this person a pittance in comparison.

H1B program needs to to be done away with. It is being gamed and no longer serves its real purpose.

Yeah, but not sure that simple statement is enough to completely undo generations of cultural belief/experience regarding how wealth is earned.
Not exactly. I'd argue that "funded until Q4" precisely means "funded until at least some time during Q4". Someone who was being careful to communicate clearly would probably not say "funded until Q4" if they meant anything other than "funded until the beginning of Q4" but that is not what we are dealing with here: We are dealing with a second-hand retelling to TechCrunch by an anonymous source. In fact, further on in the TechCrunch article, it states that when they contacted SoundCloud PR directly, they were told that "[SoundCloud] are fully funded into Q4" (emphasis mine).

> you can't practise talking to real people

Not to native speakers, but to semifluent and (rarely) fluent 2L speakers, you can. While there's always an argument that the loss of native speakers radically impoverishes our sense of a language and its potential, and that what we can figure out from writing is just a portion of what the language used to consist of, you can definitely have fun practicing spoken Latin with experts and dramatically improve your understanding of the language.

There are several spoken Latin programs, some of which use immersion methods, mentioned in the article. I spent a week at one of Nancy Llewellyn's programs about a decade ago, and mehercule can she speak fluently and extemporaneously about anything she chooses in Latin. :-)

This will send shockwaves through corporate America.

Either they have to open foreign offices in other countries for talent or hire American citizens.

I'm a bit allergic to people doing this, but I'm going to hop into this comment thread because it's too big of a coincidence to not plug a bit here.

I'm building the solution to this, right now. Think a next-gen Soundcloud with Patreon features built-in, powered by a Ethereum-based token that allows fans to instantly and directly support artists from anywhere in the world. There's a number of interesting applications that a "micro-economy" running inside of a music platform can provide: among these are curation/discovery, promotion of music, and preventing infringement and bad actors in the service.

It's clear you've never been on the employer side of an H1 petition let alone a green card, or spoken to an immigrant before.

H1s cost $6000+ and are available 4 days out of the year in April, and even then you have a 33% chance of getting one. And should you get one you can't start until the new USCIS fiscal year in October.

What about that makes you think they'd rather hire a foreigner? The green card burden is years and many more thousands of dollars. Those people are probably just really good.

Also, your statement about H1s getting paid way less isn't usually true, they're required to be paid the prevailing wage for the job they're doing in their geographical area.

Now if you're talking about body shops, well that's a totally different conversation and needs to end but if those people were sponsored directly by your employer there's some good reasons. And if your employer is using a body shop you should be mad at them not USCIS -- for this, there's plenty of other reasons to be mad at USCIS haha.

A cashless society in the United States would be quite a surprise. With the pain that prepaid cards are to use and reload for those that aren't well heeled, combined with the pure, unbridled hatred that businesses have for the merchant services industry in general, it will be a long time before cash is not encouraged as a form of payment at most businesses.
No Samsung. I half jokingly says it's because it's been compromised by the CIA (Which doesn't sound too far fetched now) :P
No. Nobody uses it after the un-backwards-conpatibility scandal of '14. People are in limbo searching for the next angular but, alas, it cannot be found.

And even for sub-acute thing, for example if you've broken ankle, it needs a surgery to bring your bones together and put a metallic screws and a plate. But the only thing they'll do in ER is put a cast on your leg (for ~$7,000 bill to your insurance). For the surgery you'll need to look for a surgeon yourself (and, there's HUGE shortage of surgeons everywhere in US, seems like the system wants it that way).

Then your surgeon's hospital will pre-agree on the surgery cost with your insurance. If you don't have insurance or money -- welcome to limpers.
Does anyone know why the mosquitoes wouldn't evolve to be repulsed by others infected in this way?

Or is this a similar class of problem to antibiotics becoming useless over time?

Or is there something else I don't understand about this?
Meanwhile in the UK card transactions overtook cash transactions not just in volume (this has been true for a long time) but in actual transaction counts last month.
Man, when I read about how the swipe fees for credit cards remain so high (3%!!), even decades after the infrastructure's been built out and can chug along in maintenance mode, I just think.. where's the market solution to this? Where's the upstart processor that charges 1%, still make bank because it's just 1s and 0s now, and exert real competitive pressure on Visa and MC?
I used altavista from when it was altavista.digital.com. The only time I remember it being better than Google was when Google only spidered the Stanford domain, and slightly later if you knew the page title you were looking for.

Generational churn in the web front end framework space is a phenomenon deserving special examination.

Just 2-4 years ago, Angular skills were in high demand, only to be completely replaced by React & Co. I'm not complaining, much preferring React's model over Angular's decorator and type heavy one which is too Java/JEE-ish for my taste.

But what makes frontenders so confident they've found the holy grail at the height of a hype cycle every single time? Is it a sales story to better market one's skills? Is it a consequence of a young developer's mind trying to ascertain himself/herself and become part of a group of like-minded people?

Because rationality seems not always a given when it comes to web dev. I've seen React projects which, frankly, were trivial to make using just basic Javascript and DOM techniques, plus maybe some jquery. But the developers absolutely wanted to pad their resumes with React above everything else.
Why isn't Capital One hiring American Citizens? If any company should be required to do so, payments related companies should be required to hire citizens.
Meanwhile in Germany I feel we are a decade behind the US when it comes to accepting electronic payments. In Berlin there are so many Bars/restaurants that are "cash only" when the next ATM (that is a partner of your bank, otherwise you pay a 5 EUR fee to withdraw) is blocks away... It's beyond annoying
> Big interchange fees enable credit card companies to offer sweet rewards to big-spending consumers and get paid by the banks that issue the cards—at the expense of small businesses and customers.

> Swipe fees at a cafe become part of the price of a cup of coffee, principally to the detriment of cash customers and “vanilla” cardholders who aren’t earning airline miles when they get their caffeine fix.

And that's why I avoid card transactions at "Mom & Pop" stores

Yes, It's good to remember those "cashbacks" and miles are not free, they came from somewhere

$10,000 / 30 cent transaction fee comes out to a net positive for the credit card companies after 33,334 transactions (not included the average 3% additional fee).

If we assume a modest 100 credit card transactions per day for high transaction industries like restaurants and food trucks, the 30 cent fee will return the $10,000 of revenue in 333 days not including the percentage fee.

There is a reason restaurants/food trucks/gas stations... charge an extra fee for using credit cards on transactions below a certain price. It's cause credit card companies charge an arm and a leg for each transaction.
lol. i hadn't seen that ;_;
$10,000 is only about one year of credit card transaction fees at $500,000 in revenue per year.

There is a cash only brewpub chain in Colorado (Mountain Sun) that easily pulls in millions per year. Everyone complains about it being cash only, but the places are so packed that it is a no brainer for the owner. 2% is big bite, especially in the restaurant business.

Learnboost. They were responsible for creating some of the most popular node.js packages back in the day. But from what I recall, TJ was the most prolific developer there.
Charging 1% for existing payment network card transactions would put them out of business real fast when the wholesale cost to processors is more than 1%.
Those who pay the fees (merchants) aren't the ones who chose which cards their customers have. High fees also seem to allow high rewards to draw more consumers. I think it would be difficult to challenge Visa and MC just by undercutting them. It seems that regulatory action is the most likely thing to break Visa and MC's dominance.

Is this even legal? Cash is legal tender for all debts, public and private.

Whenever I order food and services at a real restaurant (not a fast-food joint where I must pay up front), I incur a debt with the expectation that I will settle it as I leave. Can the restaurant legally refuse to accept cash as settlement for my debt, as long as I'm not using cash in a blatantly unreasonable way such as paying $250 in dollar bills?
A bullet killing a person is the 'law of physics'. It doesn't mean it can't be outlawed.

In fact, I'd make the case that it is horrifying that anyone reading that statement doesn't understand exactly what it means.

Don't underestimate your opponents here. They are smart, well educated and know what is possible and what isn't.
The legal way might put pressure on Visa and MC, their attempt at a settlement failed last year [1]. I don't know what happened next.

> The settlement may now need to be renegotiated, or the case could go to trial.

> "Swipe fees are an improper and unnecessary hidden tax on consumers," said Jeffrey Shinder, a Constantine Cannon partner representing Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O), Costco Wholesale Corp (COST.O), Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) and other opponents of the accord. "The structure of swipe fees is back on the table."

Anyone knows if the case went to trial after that court of appeals decision?

To compare, in the E.U. [2], "the Regulation caps interchange fees for consumer debit cards to 0.2 % and consumer credit cards to 0.3 % of the value of the transaction.". In the U.S. the fees today seem to be 10x higher[3].
