I don't understand the relationships between SES, culture, and crime, but I'm baffled that we pretend that veneration of gang life in inner city communities can't possibly factor into the equation even in a small way. To head off the stupid "white people listen to rap too!" false equivalence, crime worship can't be reduced to music selection, it's (by definition of "worship") a way of life. I guess I don't think we should rule out a cultural cause; it's not like we need to say "every black person worships criminals" or "no white people worship criminals"--if culture plays a role, I hope we can be mature enough to recognize that it's not a binary proposition, and can engage it earnestly and compassionately.
Yes, it would cost them a lot, billions probably, as it would be unconstitutional action. They would be forced to close the shop if they continued.

It could however work if they throttle priority isp traffic to counterbalance.
This won't fly. Lot of mom'n'pops restaurants prefer cash so they can under-report their income and save on tax. In fact, quite a few restaurants that I've been to in San Francisco take only cash.

Ex: Udipi on Valencia near Dosa has a big board at door and at counter that says in caps "CASH ONLY"

Just ask the IRS, and this is just income taxes. Businesses have a lot more mobility. Florida gains an extra $10,000 in annual gross income every 40 seconds on average from people moving from New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. California loses (net) about $4,000 AGI every 40 seconds to Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, and Washington and others. Florida gained, through this alone, an additional ~140 Billion dollars in Annual Gross Income between 1992 and 2015 from tax migration.

Medium-large animal extinctions are well-documented, primarily because of predation and introduction of invasive species. This is largely complete, as cats and rats and people are pretty much everywhere now.

The vast majority of the 100-1000x baseline extinctions are hypothesized: we estimate that richly biodiverse areas hold N unknown species per area M. We have destroyed M' area, therefore estimate N' species are now extinct.

I have been able to find no actual evidence of such extinctions.

The mass extinctions in the Paleo record are driven by more significant disruptions of the base ecology - bees are probably the most vulnerable foundation species talked about now.

I've always used an extension to completely block the news feed (like [0]) and I've found it to be an excellent deterrant to using facebook in general. Generally now I use messenger.com when I have to but otherwise completely avoid the site.

Although HN has now pretty much replaced facebook as my go-to site when I open a browser, so I'm not sure how useful it is after all. At least it's domain-specific and less psychologically manipulative.

There is almost certainly nothing legally to prevent them from taking cash. The idea is simply (probably) to get them to say they only take credit cards. Obviously they will take cash if the person only has cash and insists. They post that they don't accept cash and if someone doesn't see that they will take cash and Visa will be fine with it (where 'fine' means they will look the other way).

It's the golden rule. He who has the gold rules. [1] The one with the balance of power wins.

[1] Let's say in the normal course of business you are owed $5000 and have been trying to get a deadbeat customer to pay for a year. It's obvious that you don't want to get paid in pennies. In this case the customer says 'I will pay you but it has to be pennies'. What would anyone do? Accept the pennies.
From an UK perspective, their crossing are way to wide. If you have a shorter crossing, the crossing is less of a factor, (also shorter total cycle times).

The problem, is that you holding up all the other traffic for one pedestrians. Get the crossing length correct, have the elderly person cross at the start of the green then the time is sufficient.

Also changing the timing as one junction intermittently makes the coordination between set of traffic signals harder and can be big disbelief.

Notwithstanding, the wide junctions allow more space for cyclists.

Your situation is similar. However, did you consume the candy before paying? Or maybe restaurants will ask customers to pay first if they use this.
Precisely. These "things" don't come out of the air. They have a history and there is a reason why they behave like they do. Trying to argue that the internet should be like the [insert old behaviour here: cable tv, telephone, etc...] is ignoring the story as a whole and trying to push the argument for the wrong reasons.

Ugh. If Mozilla needs the data then they need to build their own service for harvesting it. Involving Google for this is not acceptable, opt-out or not.

Yeah. Unless the CEO of the companies does not come out naked in the street shouting pro net neutrality comments, it does not count.
Now that Google (or rather, Alphabet) is also an ISP, wouldn't they get in a lot of trouble for this? Seems anti-competitive.
But those replacements, electrical heating and industrial processes, are also holes. Basically, if we replaced 100% of the current electricity production with renewables that wouldn't even provide the energy needed for electric vehicles. So we already have to go >100%. And then we need to overhaul heating and energy-intensive industries too.

And even if we get to that point we still would not be carbon-neutral due to the remaining sectors. And possibly due to new natural sources (permafrost) we're already locked into due to the warming that is already in progress.

So the point is that just inventing our way to replace the current grid with green sources is insufficient for meeting the climate budget within a few decades.
The biggest problem with terms with a positive connotation is that both sides will claim them.

For example, Comcast will simply say "we support Open Internet" with the implication that "Open" in this context means "We can do whatever we want with our own lines.", i.e. complete corporate freedom. This deliberately promotes confusion, and then whoever has the most money wins.

In my opinion, the biggest problem is that this topic is relatively more technical than most people are used to understanding, which makes it very difficult to convey the various ramifications without over-simplifying.

As a retail merchant, I'd never want to intentionally restrict accepted payment methods. It's bound to lose you some sales, period. I don't think $10,000 would even be worth it for a food business.

I'm more used to encountering the opposite - establishments that, sometimes unexpectedly, only accept cash. If an ATM of my bank isn't nearby, usually the only option is to use a 3rd party ATM, which incurs fees that usually total 10-30%.

The one time I've found t difficult to have only cash and not a credit card is when driving in remote areas at night. You may encounter gas stations that are closed, but have pumps on for card transactions, but no way to pay with cash.
It's not that common in the US, because most financial advisors strongly recommend against it. If someone steals your debit card, they can clean out your bank account. You will probably get the money back, but you will be broke in the mean time. If you pay with a credit card and it gets stolen, the debt is frozen while they clean up the mess.

This is because:
a. Almost all US merchants take all VISA or MC branded cards, while in Europe many vendors will only take debit cards because of lower fees.

b. The USA doesn't have chip-and-PIN, so it's laughably easy to use a stolen bank card. At least now with EMV and signature, someone has to actually go through the trouble of stealing your card instead of just cloning it. But there are still a ton of merchants that are just using mag swipe ...
I think I managed to fix it :)

This seems to be a talking point that people are mindlessly repeating that is wrong in multiple ways. I won't bother with all, but here is the exact same person making a link to a single event regarding the exact same ice shelf:

This story is somewhat interesting on its own, but it is clear the media and ignorant people on the internet have blown it up into fake news.
> State and local taxes screw over businesses

I don't agree. That taxes are used to pay for the education of their employees and the owners themselves, that taxes pay for the roads that move that goods, that taxes pay for the police force that ensures safety and for the judges that assure that contracts are fulfilled.

How are going that business to work without all that? Are really taxes "screwing" business?
From the small snippet of the article I can actually read without the paywall, it looks like Visa is not offering to pay restaurants--it's offering to upgrade their payment systems for them (which have some dollar value).

I'd love to know: 1. Why on Earth a restaurant would willingly turn down a customer who has cash in hand and is willing to pay, and 2. How on Earth Visa is going to verify that the restaurant doesn't take cash.

For 1. many restaurants I've been to love cash and give you the stink eye when you pull out a card (because fees). The incentives seem to not make sense. For 2. is Visa actually going to send spies into restaurants and have them offer cash and see if the owner bites? I don't know this just all seems like crazy-land.
Any chance some of your energy comes from nuclear?
This is a great plan. PG&E here in California forces solar customers onto a more expensive plan. If you can avoid that switch and use solar to dramatically reduce (but not eliminate) your total kwh load then you'll definitely come out way ahead, because you'll be on their cheapest tier.

There are two possible explanations of which I can think:

- The United States is a large country in terms of geographic area, which makes it harder to deploy and maintain high-speed networks unless you're already sitting on top of a major fiber backbone (and even then).

- The ISPs have no reason to improve things, since their local near-monopoly statuses means that customers have no choice but to pay for slow speeds. This is especially severe in rural areas. There are options like satellite and cellular, but both are heavily affected by local geography, and the former has pretty significant latency issues (making it less-than-ideal for, say, VoIP) while also being pretty expensive (satellites ain't cheap).
Why do you go to facebook then?
If you'd enshrined those speeds 10 years ago, you would have chosen lower numbers and we'd have a basic uniform service that was slower. Have we reached the "good enough point" with basic speeds that we should draw a line in the sand now?
Keep at it! All of that goes away and you'll have energy and clarity like you wouldn't believe.

There is a difference between accepting a purchase transaction offered and accepting payment for a debt which has been occurred. The former is a matter of whether a contract is formed at immediately fulfilled and the latter of whether an existing contract is violated in a manner that the State will concern itself with.

Restaurants sometimes operate in the former mode (fast-food and fast-casual) and sometimes in the latter (full table service).
I think C is pleasing because the program does nothing that you don't explicitly tell it to do, and because just about everything that you can tell it to do maps clean(ish)ly down to the machine language that implements the equivalent code. It's possible to know exactly what's going on, and when.

I see attitude like that a lot on hacker news, but never see it on the rust user forums or IRC and rarely in rust related twitter. I can only speak for what I've seen personally but it seems to have more to say about hacker news comment sections than the rust community itself.
As long as it possible to run the same old C code inside your "modern C++" rewrite, you might have ported the security holes to C++. The problem is, C++ is far to compatible to C here. The idea of all "safe" modern languages is, that unsafe constructs are simply not allowed by the compiler. Why not let the compiler do the checking work vs. hoping that the human programmer didn't miss a check?
The general consensus is that normal GA tracking alone does not meet the standards to trigger either the EU or the stricter Dutch cookie notification requirements since they are using first-party cookies not tied to PII and don't follow you across sites

Do you have a good reference for this? Especially the "don't follow you across sites" seems weird as Google will end up collecting hits from the same IP/browser/etc combo across sites, which trivially allows following.

Or just avoid paying the private tax on card processing.
Adding a cash handling charge to any cash users would remove the incentive to use cash. In Europe and Canada chip and pin reduced the use of cash significantly. Contactless and mobile payment options like Apple Pay is the next nail in the coffin.

Merchant's like it (not have to transfer large sums of cash to the back, significantly reduced risk of fraud), Government's like it (easier to ensure that the correct tax is being paid on transactions) and Consumers like it (don't have to carry cash).

The US is significantly behind in this area which is why credit cards getting cloned and used at physical stores is still an issue.
To help protect you from these unsafe programs in obsolete languages I compiled a small list of software in C or C++ that you need to delete ASAP to ensure your safety:
1. Windows OS.
2. Windows kernel (mobile too).
3. Linux kernel (android too).
4. Bash, zsh, csh, fish, etc.
5. C#, Java, Ruby, Python, etc.
6. Parts of Rust backend, namely LLVM :(.
7. Apache, nginx, etc.
8. Filesystems.
9. Most drivers.
10. Router software.
11. Linux graphical environments (most/all are C or C++ and use GTK+ or Qt).
12. Any other kernels/OSes (any BSD, Haiku, iOS, etc.).

Be sure to not use rm, bash, zsh, windows explorer right click + delete, etc. to delete these as that'd be relying on definitely broken software written in obsolete languages too!

On a more serious note: IF you knew C++ at all you'd really know better than to say things like these and I have no idea where did you get the information about UB, overwriting random memory or using exceptions (Qt is famous for using none at all for a good reason) being common in C++. And what people use is the sane subset. When was the last time you've seen outside of some obscure specific place any of: virtual or non public inheritance, pointers to members, switching [] operator arguments for C arrays, placement new, manually calling destructors, using templates or macros to do compile time programming, etc? Considering your ignorance of the fact you use tons of rock solid C++ software daily I'd think you don't know what most or all of these even are.

Rust fanboys like you who speak of C and C++ programmers like of idiots who write unsafe programs that endanger people is exactly why I'm not using Rust (yet?). If a community seems that toxic at a distance I'm not even going to try to come closer. It's even worse than Java or C# fanboys who seem to forget what their VMs are in because they are at least fanboying over HUGE enterprise proven languages. Rust on the other hand does have a few big projects (but Servo is a toy and few lines around hundreds of thousands of C++ in Firefox doesn't make it a Rust project) and looks more promising than D ever did but fanboys are acting like it's the next C++, Java, Julia and C# combined and grasping at straws "one package in choco is in Rust!", "easy to call C code!", ...
> 802.11n and 802.11ac get around this

11n is available on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. 11ac is 5GHz only.

I don't think there's any specific hopping thing in n/ac. It's just normal roaming between APs with the same SSID, if you use the same SSID for both frequencies. Same roaming would happen with just 11a and 11g.

I have said it has insignificant market share and that share won't get better outside GNU/Linux for the foreseeable future.

I don't understand this. Surely it's up to me to accept whatever I want? If I tell you in advance that I want 5 apples in return for my 10 potatoes, that's all I'll accept. I don't want money, I want apples. Why is this any different?

Can you really "always settle a debt with cash"? Even if you are told beforehand that the deal isn't for cash? Would this mean that I am effectively forced to accept cash for rendering goods or services?
Is there anything we who don't live in US can do for you guys? I mean beyond spreading the word.

Sounds wrong to me. People have done things like booting up x86 with all of the hardware bit-twiddling behind safe interfaces (for example: https://os.phil-opp.com/).
Maybe, all the examiner records I've seen are definitely biased towards patent prior art rather than published works. But I'm not sure it's worth the expense of patenting all that work.

But every single major IEEE, ETSI, IETF, etc. standard ends up with 10 different companies getting patents on exactly the same shit.
> Why should research funded by American taxpayers be transferred to Chinese solar cell producers, and by whom?
