"Victim" not "accessory"... if it is fraud there will likely be a charge back which will cause you to lose money the if you can't document it well but the customer / fraudster still gets the item.

You pay the dropship warehouse, you don't pass the customer card info to them. It is as if you bought the product and picked someone else's shipping address.

No more / less risk than standard eCommerce, just someone else is doing the fulfillment for you.

Drop shipping is great in theory, one problem is that the margins are usually lower than if you bought the items wholesale but you don't have any warehousing or handling cost. The real problem is that if you are drop shipping an item odds are 1000 other people are and it is a race to the bottom to see who is willing to sell for the least profit.
Apparently ;)
You have some pretty high standards. Being imperfect doesn't automatically make it better than the alternative of not doing it.

If the system can't generate a secure hash, or can't generate cryptographically random numbers, you're in serious trouble. Those tools are foundational to security.

Moving the problem from "a root account is created with the first password you try" to "you have to break crypt(1) or /dev/random" is basically equivalent to solving it.

Ask HN: Integration testing with Database for OSS
I have an open source project that I run that requires database access in order to function properly. It currently supports MySql and Postgres and has queries that are specific to both databases (such as finding primary and foreign keys for each table). My question is what is best practice for an integration test when it comes to OSS, especially small, virtually unknown projects? I've thought of setting up a free instance of Amazon's RDS but am hesitant to put that information out in the repo as who knows what people will do with it (even if it is read only). Any other ways to test the integration (maybe with docker)?
Most of the time by using 18 decimals. One "Ether" is 10^18 "wei", the smallest unit of currency. Most cryptotokens built on ethereum also use that many units...but not all.

Bitcoin is, IIRC, 8 units of precision.
It should be at 600 before the week is done.
> There are no floating point numbers. Since you're probably working with "money", this can make things tricky.

That is actually a feature when it comes to working with money. You don't ever want to use floating-point arithmetic with monetary values due to its inability to represent all possible decimal fractions of your base unit. This is just as true for over-hyped blockchain stuff as it is for any imaginable application in the "classic" financial sector.

What you need is either an integer data type plus a fixed, implied number of digits that you want to handle (so for example 105 represents 1 dollar and 5 cents), or a fixed-point numeric type (like for example BigDecimal in Java; there's lots of equivalents in other languages, most of them have something like "decimal" in their names), which essentially just stores the integer value together with the number of digits and features mathematical operations of pairs of these with each other.
I'm not sure if there are infinitely divisible currencies? The cryptocurrencies I know (Ethereum, Bitcoin) _do_ have a smallest divisible unit (wei and satoshi respectively).
As the reply in the thread below the main tweet mentions, similar problems exist in hotels as well. Probably there is a market for making a simple and affordable "bug detector" which we can carry?
Every day I walk to work and back home. It takes about 20 km per day. Also I go to gym 3 times a week, also I like bicycle and various active games like ping pong, volleyball.
Most importantly, have a routine and don't break it. If you work your health upkeep into the routine (exercise and diet), it's much easier to keep going. A chaotic and random day to day life makes it much more difficult to make time for your wellbeing.
There's a lot of "valid reasons" for doing a lot of bad things.
It's precisely the N that I was talking about:

I discuss how seeing 100 steps of a sequence with regular behavior gives you a better sense of its asymptotics than seeing 3 steps, and then how you can generate some steps of that sequence as a mental model.

The N that is changing is the number of dimensions, both in comparing which model gives better asymptotic intuition and in terms of constructing a phase space by adding a dimension at a time.

I'm actually unsure how you could think there's an N that's not dimension, given that the only values discussed (or changing) were dimensions.

Did I not use fancy enough language when making a point to laymen, so you assumed you knew more than me and took a really uncharitable read so you could "correct" me?
I try to avoid eating processed foods. I ride a bicycle. I go to a climbing gym. I built a hangboard so I can train at home. I read lots of books to exercise my brain.

But more important than any of that: I stopped working a job that had me sitting down in front of a computer screen all day, and started working jobs that keep me on my feet.
In that case the bug was fixed in less than a day. Let's see how Apple fares.
So, again, the use cases here are varied. For the most common, which is understanding user behavior, you'll do something like:

- I'm going to capture 5% of users sessions as they progress through a purchase funnel

- I capture data for a few days after a design change, and look at behavioral changes, such as spending more time in a particular step of the funnel

- Where there's something weird going on, I'll watch an aggregate view of people's mouse behaviors - I can then see that a lot of people are hovering between two different buttons, or highlighting a particular sentence

- Based on that feedback, I'll do an A/B test of changing the button textx or the dialogue message

- Capture more data, did that change?

It's not "Let's go look at john smith's website behavior" except in the support example, where you get a user's consent to do that, and you usually only do it for internal corporate applications where there's a dedicated helpdesk.
Here are a few of the things I do to counteract my desk job. I live in Denver.

-Workout before work (5 days a week, switching programs/routines every 1-3 months)

-Bike to work

-Standing desk with balance board

-Lacrosse ball and theraband at my desk for stretching

-Eat well, mostly Paleo, but not super strict. No soda.

-Intermittent fasting (~8pm to 12pm)

-"Fun" exercise after work(skateboarding, basketball, yoga)

-Work from home 1-2 days a week and move around as much as possible those days.

I've found this works for me but ymmv. I've also been active most of my life.
Facebook's New Security Check Demands You Send Them a Picture of Your Face
I use an activity bracelet to record my activity and sleep level. I generally forget to exercise unless something pushes me and the meter on my wrist is a comfortably non-judgemental reminder. I try to avoid commuting to work by car and prefer bus and bike. Commuting by bus adds quite a few steps and I can skip a few bus stops and walk instead.

I don't go to the gym, but have taken a habit of doing push ups, body-weight rows and farmers walks and those seem to bulk me good enough.

I hated push ups, until I realized I can do them in ladders. 1, then 2, then 3... up to max, and down again.
There are heaps of articles and guides online for this, but here's what I do:

First thing after waking up is to do some pushups. Not too many, just about 15 - 20.
Later on I hit the gym after 7 and workout for an hour.
My workout is custom tailored by me but I initially started out with a simple 5x5 workout.
Midweek I go for jiu jitsu traning.
I train sometimes on the weekends other I play tennis or just fuck around.

---

One thing I regret early on is not practicing the correct form and chasing numbers instead. Second regret is not maintaining my diet properly.

Right now the biggest bottleneck is my 9-5 job. Slowly I'v realized that sitting at a desk for 7 hours hours is very bad. I would rather trade that with a more physically demanding job(or work in a office where there's a spare gym)

With that in mind, my focus for the next couple of years is to shift from working regularly to occasionally doing contracts and working on my side projects.
The Wim Hof method is something I adore. Also, whenever I wake up, I get up. This is better than trying going back to sleep if you only have an hour or two, because waking up in the middle of the sleep cycle (2-3 hours) typically makes you more tired than if you would have skipped it.

So, in the morning, I awake naturally ( the time varies ), then go for a walk to watch the sun rise.

I eat a lot of soup.
I laugh.
If I feel unreasonable fear, I try to wonder what issue I had as a child or with my parents that would cause it. For example, I would check my pants pockets for my phone, wallet, and keys, like everyone does from time to time, and then after I found all 3, I would get afraid. Fear is bad for your health, especially unreasonable. I would wonder, "Why am I feeling afraid AFTER I realize I have everything", and I realized, growing up, if I would check my pockets, my mom would ask a frightened question, "OH NO, DID YOU LOSE SOMETHING?", so I was basically trained to feel afraid. Lots of weird things with parents to think about if you feel yourself having unreasonable emotions throughout the day.
Good suggestions! Thanks

This is just anecdotal and based mostly on things I've read, so take it with a grain of salt. I am not a nutritionist or a trainer, just an engineer who doesn't want to die fat and sick.

## Physical Activity

Structured five minutes of stretching immediately after getting out of bed.

Bodyweight-only strength training exercises every other day for at least ten minutes. Cardio every day for at least fifteen minutes.

## Food

I don't count calories. Instead, I follow some simple meal rules:

1. At least half the plate should be veggies. Fresh, frozen, canned, whatever.

2. Carbs are not the enemy, but they should be minimized. No bread, and avoid sugars.

3. Avoid red meat most of the time. Choose fish, chicken, or tofu as proteins.

4. Make breakfast a priority and the biggest meal of the day.

5. Prep ingredients ahead of time, because life ALWAYS gets in the way at the last minute.
Don't worry, I'm sitting in the same boat ;-)
I have also seen new comments spring to the top of the conversation, but always assumed they were selected randomly, as some of them were from posters who were fairly new or had a low karma count.
By not sitting at the computer 18 hours straight. I eat well, I also fast 16 hours per day, by skipping breakfast, and eating a healthy lunch and dinner. I also take pushup/pullup/situp breaks throughout the day. Especially if important if you're going to be putting in long hours at the screen. Also get out and do some longer hikes 3-4 times a week. If it's the winter season, I'll row indoors on a rowing machine, or breakout "Insanity" :)
Well, the difference may not be in the core the business but it is certainly to in the type business niche the platform will cater too. In addition with some flagship features that revolve around practical challenges that have yet not been addressed. Definitely, it would be tough to stand out here but our target user will very easily relate the difference.
Why Native Apps Still Better Than Hybrid App Development?

Because there are enough sugar replacements that will spike your insulin regardless, and that makes you stop burning fat. Try entering Ketosis and then have something containing Sorbitol & Xylitol, just 2 pieces of chewing gum messed me up for a good couple hours.

This is not to say that there aren't better sweeteners than sugar, but anything saying "less sugar" or "zero sugar" is likely just a technically correct marketing ploy.

Don’t overthink diet. Avoid these three things: obvious sugars (soda), fried foods, and bread.

Try to do 100 push-ups and 200 squats a day. I do 10 push-ups and 20 squats every time I check my email.

Simple = maintainable.
And yet people can read your post and see what you mean to convey.

Books and courses are actually a tremendous amount of work upfront. Last book I wrote for a major published I only got $6000 and it consumed hundreds of hours.

Self-publishing is high profit but the same amount of work (if you care about quality and reputation), no upfront advance, and you have to do your own marketing.
I guess one could implement a job which samples the pages of tables and indexes to check what percentage is typically in RAM and use that for an estimate, but to get which actual pages will be hit by a query you need to start executing it (you need to do an index lookup to see which index pages and table pages which will be accessed) which would defeat the purpose of query planning.
Neither Wikipedia [0], Investopedia [1], nor the International Compliance Association (ICA) [2] seem to agree with your definition.

You seem to confuse a technique to combat money laundering with the laundering itself.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering "Money laundering is the process of transforming the profits of crime and corruption into ostensibly "legitimate" assets."

[1] https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/moneylaundering.asp
"Money laundering is the process of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained from criminal activity, such as drug trafficking or terrorist activity, originated from a legitimate source."

[2] https://www.int-comp.org/careers/a-career-in-aml/what-is-mon... "Money laundering is the generic term used to describe the process by which criminals disguise the original ownership and control of the proceeds of criminal conduct by making such proceeds appear to have derived from a legitimate source."

Apple software quality has got very sloppy (again). I recall it was particularly bad around 2014, but then seemed to have improved. Seems the sloppiness is back again. It would seem Apple is no unique in the regard that its success has made it fat and lazy. My particular favourite one at the moment is that in iOS 11.1.2 navigation transition animations eventually break if the device is running long enough (a few days). Restarting the device fixes this. The fun part is trying to work out why on earth this would be? Transition animations are cached?
Wordpress.com is something different than the Open Source Wordpress(.org) that is installed on one's server.
awesome stuff! Great to see AWS pushing things around the baremetal problem set.
Yea, I got to try one out and added some pedagogical examples to help people learn about the platform. It was lots of fun!
Interesting. So in the case of 1, I guess I could have a function in the contract called something like sellUserXStakeTo(userId Y), that would let me transfer my 50% ownership to another user Y. And that method would be secured to only accept being called by me, or by another contract written by me.

Then if a user Y did come along and wanted to buy my stake, we'd agree a price P, then I would write a second contract that said: If user Y pays user X amount P, then call sellUserXStakeTo(Y). Then, once I'd published it, user Y would verify it, then pay the money, secure in the knowledge that I could not alter or back out of the deal.
Probability is over time. With enough time (billions of years?), the total probability approaches 1.0.
Tracking food intake for several months helped me immensely. You may want to track carbs, fat, protein as well as calories.

Once you cut the junk food out of your diet, it's easier to keep it out. The cravings for sugar subside.

I go through on/off periods with weight lifting, but generally try to lift at least once a week.

Apart from that I try to get outdoors with some kind of physical activity 2-3x a week. I've been lucky to find a few physical hobbies I enjoy. I used to wake skate / wake board on the weekends and mountain bike during the week. Mountain biking has now taken over the weekends as well.

That would be my biggest recommendation. Find a hobby you really enjoy that keeps you active.
"Zero sugar" things always have an alternative sweetener in them. Many of these, such as aspartame, have some unfortunate side effects or have not been properly studied yet.

Natural cane sugar is fine, as long as you have it in small doses. Most sodas do not use small doses.
Interesting, the PXT language (TypeScript subset) does have a native code backend.

Some sweeteners like Sorbitol or Splenda have calories. They get away with labeling in the US because as long as it has less than 5 kcal per serving they can say 0 kcal. And they can choose the serving size.

Most sweeteners are truly zero calories and don't produce an insulin spike, but there may be a problem with cravings for some people.

Creative ways to get employees submit timesheets on time
I think it depends on your market. I would imagine it would be easier to sell to developers on Windows rather than Linux (possibly macOS). I can think of a few tools that we pay for to make our lives easier to develop on Windows: Visual Studio, Resharper (Ultimate, which comes with a few other JetBrains tools) and Artifactory. On the flip side, when I'm on my personal laptop I run Linux and have no tools that cost me money. It isn't that I'm opposed to it, I just haven't found anything worthwhile to pay for that is definitely better than the open-source/free versions.

2. I get basic things wrong all the time
3. I still have to regularly look things up

I think so. I think there's a huge step forwards when you can get something working quickly, then build from there.

I've found these tools extremely useful to understand user behavior. We rely on Fullstory all the time to improve the user experience, to identify bugs, and to debug user issues.

The result of these tools is a far better user experience on our site and many other sites.

"recording every keystroke" makes it sound like there's malicious intent, but it's misleading. It should be added that all these tools have a lot of options to avoid tracking sensitive data (like password fields) and we always rely on that (in fact anything else would be a compliance violation for us).
