i agree it's actually kind of bad that payment providers don't provide this page. todays technology could even render it on the webpage of the customer shop without redirecting fully to another page (scrpt scr=paymentproviderscript.bla? or so?). If people have to maintain and host their own script it makes them horrible prone to attack. In which case i'd rather have a payment provider who needs to secure it than every customer of the payment provider (reduces attack surface). i think paypal does good by providing this passive system and other providers should follow it, and perhaps if it's not to their liking innovate in this line instead of dumping their issues to the customer shop.
This was very interresting

Pretty much. Shorting usually relies on people having deposited the asset (USDT) with the broker (Kraken). When you short the broker sells some of the other person's asset in the market in the basis you'll buy it back if the other person wants their asset back. Presumably they've run out of USDT to sell in that manner.
Which are exactly equivalent to a function call, just with a different type, and a syntax without parens.

"this will be re-evaluated every time you access it"
The real reason the author doesn't even touch on. They are viewing it from an artistic angle rather than a marketing angle.

A consistent style of illustrations is part of the guidelines for most online brands. All the illustrations need to share a common language across the whole product.

* Atlassian has a style-guide

* OK Cupid has one (they just changed it and had to redo all their illustrations)

* Trello has one

* Tunnelbear has one

Having a traditional artist involved in these illustrations rather than a designer means that the 'hit by a bus' factor is much larger. It is much easier to imitate a vector art style than it is physical technique.

Furthermore, these illustrations have to share the same guidelines as the app itself, which is limited by CSS rules. Natural textures are hard to do in CSS and wasteful, wheras flat colour, borders, and gradients are all up for grabs.

On a similar note, one could complain that the New York Times have terrible consistency with their illustrations, and the differing illustrations fail to portray a cohesive brand image.

So ultimately the author is saying that marketing != art... No shit...

I'd also say "kubernetes is magic". It's an insanity to understand and set up once, but once you've done that, and keep up with changes, it makes deploying services much easier.

For example, in the past I first ran several services directly on bare metal, but Ubuntu's LTS versions didn't have the packages yet (and libraries were incompatible) for one service I needed, and while debian had these, it didn't have them for a second service I needed.

So I went with containerization, and properly split these things up, so I could run all services I needed together. But I had two servers, and manually migrating them whenever I needed to restart one server for updates became painful. And it made automated updates impossible, so every ~3 days a crontab would run apt to update, and if a reboot was necessary, email me. So every 3 days I had to manually migrate containers over, and restart. Very annoying. Plus all the ingress rules complications.

Then I started using kubernetes, and despite needing 8 months to actually understand it, and work with it, it actually is magic. I don't have to manually check every 3 days if apt fucked again with the packages. I don't have to check if I need to reboot, and migrate containers. Thanks to k8s and container linux everything migrates automatically and reboots. I don't have to worry about all this stuff anymore, it just works. Yes, I have to worry about k8s updates, and keep my configs up to date — but that's another amazing thing: recently I had to rebuild my cluster from scratch, and thanks to container linux's cloud-init and kubernetes I could simply restart all servers with the new config, and they'd automatically recreate the cluster, and load the storage data back from backups. In 25 minutes the entire cluster was rebuilt from scratch and everything was back up.

Yes, kubernetes is the opposite of easy for setting it up, but that's a constant cost. All additional services you run on it are basically free in terms of maintenance cost.
A RAND corporation study quotes similar data:

But is it practical to assess autonomous vehicle safety
through test-driving? The safety of human drivers is a critical
benchmark against which to compare the safety of autonomous
vehicles. And, even though the number of crashes, injuries, and
fatalities from human drivers is high, the rate of these failures is
low in comparison with the number of miles that people drive.
Americans drive nearly 3 trillion miles every year (Bureau of
Transportation Statistics, 2015). The 2.3 million reported inju-
ries in 2013 correspond to a failure rate of 77 reported injuries
per 100 million miles. The 32,719 fatalities in 2013 correspond
to a failure rate of 1.09 fatalities per 100 million miles.

A little over a decade ago (so somewhere in the early triassic period as far as videogames go) I was involved in big tourneys within the terrible game I was no-lifing at the time for efame, eglory, and shitty prizes.

My teammates and I had played for years at this point and despite being better at the forums than the game, we knew our way around the meta and had enough experience to make sensible decisions on the fly. Even then, we weren't ever within touching distance of the top tiers. Not even close.

Every tourney we were watched, jeered and very occasionally cheered by thousands of other players as we muddled through early stages against other weaker teams before eventually being out meta'd and out played by better players and it was brutal, adrenaline-shaking dopamine-flooded experience. It was physically addictive at its best, and absolutely soul crushing at worst.

Even within my short, strictly amateur 'career' in esports, the gulf between the top teams and everybody else was crazy. The level of dedication and raw focus the eventual winners possessed was frankly insane and something I simply wouldn't ever be able to muster. These guys who are already mechanically superb are living and breathing their games.

I genuinely can't even begin to imagine what it's like for professional LoL players at the top of the scene, small teams competing for huge prize pools with individual performance publicly dissected and analysed in microscopic detail by hordes of armchair pundits.

Throw in the inevitable post-tournament rosterpocalypse and flakey team management, I can't help but feel professional esports is cannibalising these players.

Of course, if that was the best I could do.

People will happily spend an entire day becoming unlost if they're lost.

As long as they have the means to survive, they'll be willing to spend much longer than that.
In that case, there would be a generally expected hours. You would still have to allocate expected finish time based on how many hours you are expecting to work per day.

There are differences, and there are similarities. I have heard "attractive nuisance" used (not in a legal context) in a looser sense that covers this case - ie. when you can legitimately ask "well, what else did you think was going to happen?"
Changes I've been able to see:

* the evolution of dental curing lights from cumbersome, active refrigerated, and wired into really light, portable, wireless flashlights/pens

* the introduction of sodium bicarbonate jets for cleaning, polishing and whitening teeth

* the introduction of the ultrasonic scaler

* the change from dental amalgam (mercury-based), for fillings, to cast resin or ceramic

* the introduction of whitening treatments

* the changes from really bulky braces to relativevly slim ones, transparent and low-profile brackets, new techniques that do away with external head-gear for a lot of cases
There are also banks that provide virtual credit cards that can only be used by one merchant and where you specify the max amount and expiration date.
Chess, go and tons of other board games. Outside of that very limited sort of activity, computers have "beat humans" in maybe machine vision and speech recognition, but then again only on very strictly defined challenges. And once the same (kinds of) systems are deployed in the wild all sorts of tiny little details emerge that suggest maybe the computers are not so ready to take over the world, yet.

Like, oh, I don't know- adversarial examples fooling state-of-the-art machine vision systems, or speech recognition failing for all but a very few target languages etc.

They can't do this because then the untrusted merchant has access to everything again. It needs to be sandboxed in a separate page so that the customer is talking directly with the processor, with SOP, cors, https, and simply not being able to intercept PII and payment information.
> they are not supposed to see it

There's a whole lot of things that are not supposed to happen in the tech world, that happen all the time. Most people do not run brand new stateless microservices in K8s. They run stateful apps on VMs in three year old badly configured OpenStack clusters.

For what it's worth, moving the client traffic itself is seamless and totally fine. But first you have to get them to stop hard-coding the names of region and zone specific load balancers into their apps. You switch them over... traffic falls over... and it's your fault. Hence, big moves are coordinated with clients, not to mention feature tested, and then tested by sending some real traffic to the new cluster, before you shift all the traffic. The cloud is not magic, and if you treat it that way, it will bite you.

Reaction times is not all you need to drive safely though. You also need situational awareness, which means an understanding of your environment. Which machines can clearly not do at all, yet.

Until AI can develop an understanding of the world that is on par with that of humans, it will remain unable to tackle the breadth and variety of situations that humans can.
It's hard to say because so much depends on investor psychology. But if they act to prop things up on the dips it looks like it just goes up and then other dumb speculators like me pile in.

Some academics studied manipulation at MtGox and "the paper demonstrates that the suspicious trading activity likely caused the unprecedented spike in the USD-BTC exchange rate in late 2013, when the rate jumped from around $150 to more than $1,000 in two months." Not sure how much actual cash was involved there but "bitcoins (BTC) valued at $188 million were fraudulently acquired."
I don't think GP's point is really about buses. To quote:

> Professional drivers, professionally maintained equipment and set procedures really are enough.

There is something to that. We let people drive cars after close to zero training (something I personally find to be completely ridiculous, but the world is what it is...), and then we let them drive without any direct consequences of not paying attention (penalties for breaking traffic laws are absurdly low, and enforcement way too lenient). For the other extreme, compare with professional pilots.

That said, I feel that getting all cars self-driving will be much easier to achieve than restructuring society around professional driving only, or training every driver properly and giving them appropriate incentives.
We use Adyen at Kogan. They definitely have some staff here and some in Singapore I believe.
So tech I meant colloquially to mean software tech. The overwhelming number of companies you listed there are hardware companies which would also suffer significantly considering the amount of hardware good/fb/etc... Use. Amazon would also be hurt considering they are getting massive revenue from software companies. Also companies like Adobe would be massively hurt (say bye to their marketing analytics platform) and the fact that significant creatives use their products for advertising.

Companies like Oracle and Salesforce I would bet derive a significant chunk of revenue selling advertising and marketing analytics services as well.

Regardless of pedantry olad cratering would be a huge huge huge fucking deal for many people who work in software (at least).
To quote Joel Spolsky (being more succinct than I would be):

"Anything you do on your own time, with your own equipment, that is not related to your employer’s line of work is yours, even if the contract you signed says otherwise."

(For California only)

So as usual, it's a bit more complex, but the key is whether it's related to your employer's line of work. Of course the employer may try to claim _anything_ to belong to them, but they may not prevail in court. That outcome is less than ideal for the employee - best not talk about side projects at work or do anything related to them at work.

After watching the deployment team trying to keep up with Docker and their ridiculous pace of breaking changes, and then eventual decision to move entirely away from Docker for containers; I really understand their decision not to want to touch k8s with a 10 ft pole.

If the choice is between "building features based around business needs so other teams can make more awesome stuff" and "throwing lots of dev time at just chasing docker/k8s/whatever", why on earth would they want to choose the latter?

Safety Tips for Online BBW Hookup
Thanks. This is very helpful. I didn't articulate well enough how I see UX as part of the overall design process.

I agree with your comment that 'An experienced UX person is going to want to come in before requirements'. This is especially true for pure software products.

For some things, though, the software is only a gateway into a wider thing. So for requirements, I wasn't thinking of a list of features, but more like requirements for the outcomes: 'When a customer visits the AirBnB site, they should be able to find and book somewhere to stay within 5 minutes'.

Do you think it's OK to bring in UX even when some of those requirements have been drafted (though not set in stone)? Or do you think that would put off someone great, who wants to start from the problem definition rather than partial solution?

EDIT: When I described my problem to friend, he suggested that what I actually wanted is someone who might describe themselves as a 'product designer'. What are the job title(s) that would resonate best with people who do the type of work you described in your comment?
It varies widely from company to company. It depends on how dangerous of a bug it is as well as the exploitability; this determines the remediation period. Usually, very severe bugs like heartbleed or front facing deserialization are fixed within 1-7 days, whereas a CSRF in some random POST call could be 90/180 days depending on how a company treats less severe bugs.

You have a security guy assigned to keep track of bugs and is notified after the remediation window has passed. It's usually assigned to the person that found it because they are able to easily understand the issue and then verify the fix. They will confirm it has been fixed for all the machines it was found on, then close the ticket out. However, often bugs that are considered unlikely to be exploited will be kicked back, and long chains of emails between the security guys saying "Please fix this bug! I'm just trying to do my job", and developers saying "We have 0 dev cycles and a release coming up, not a high priority! Can't you just close it?"

This email thread goes on for weeks/months, and the security guys push the redemption period to help developers meet their deadline. It gets pushed back so many times that the security guys get sick of reporting it because they know it's a low severity issue, but still is a problem none the less. They push it up the chain of command and force the PM of the project sign off on the risk associated with what could happen if exploited, they almost always have it fixed immediately then it's closed.
I understand the need to use some martial metaphor but not everybody is born to see through that lens. The friends I have lost to cancer did not loose a battle. They were strong, they did everything they could, they had a "grandeur d'être" that inspires me until today. But sure, they didn't fail/loose the battle. They were just unfortunate. And their ghosts are still with me.
I generally agree with you. It should, however, be noted that you'll need to compare fatality rates caused by human drivers and fatality rates caused by Teslas autopilot under the same driving conditions. I am pretty sure that there is a vast amount of driving conditions under which the autopilot cannot be engaged safely (and will not get engaged). It's one thing driving on a highway and another thing driving in a crowded city. Here in Germany we have comparably little fatalities on highways. Most occur on rural roads and cities.
