Some credit card networks, processors, and/or banks also prohibit counterfeit or unauthorized goods, gambling, marijuana, tobacco, weapons, fireworks, radioactive materials, mug shot publication, bankruptcy lawyers, psychic services, etc. (copied from Stripe) I thought they also banned the sale of human hair (no joke) but maybe that's been changed.

Also keep in mind that these banks allow you to buy cryptocurrency with debit cards, just not with credit.
Well, would you look at that. The article did mention what the Internet lacked, at the time: sale systems, search, and popularity; and indeed, market forces did provide.

Looking at the article's conclusion however, it is rather similar to the 2018 HN frontpage news of social-networking-breeding-isolation: perhaps the chap wasn't that far off the mark:

"While the Internet beckons brightly, seductively flashing an icon of knowledge-as-power, this nonplace lures us to surrender our time on earth. A poor substitute it is, this virtual reality where frustration is legion and where–in the holy names of Education and Progress–important aspects of human interactions are relentlessly devalued."
Yup, classic Skinner Box stuff.

This would work great with Firebase too. I remember writing a collaborative document editor similar to Google docs and the "document" was basically JSON with nodes for headlines, paragraphs, etc that multiple users could edit in real time.

That time I just used to write the whole JSON to firebase (with flock like locking) and it was really bad but since it was just a weekend project I didn't care much at that time. Bet a library like this could have saved me a lot of headache.
Same here. On my my most recent project the client requested we use Java, since after they take over they can use devs with Java knowledge.

There's also apparently something interesting happening with the bond market. A fairly standard retirement strategy is to gradually move your investments into more stable bonds as your retirement date approaches. Except that because of boomer retirement, there's quite a lot of people doing this - mix in some quantitative easing, and suddenly a lot of money is chasing a limited pool of bonds, causing low yields and other interestingness: https://www.wsj.com/articles/decade-of-easy-cash-turns-bond-...

Fundamentally, I think there might be a deeper issue at play here. There's a common (and dubious) argument that Social Security is a ponzi scheme because the payments to retirees come from funds contributed by new investors. On some level, though, all of retirement is a little ponzi-like; ultimately you're always relying on the current working population to pay for your retirement, no matter what investments you put into your pension fund. What happens if that goes pop?

Absolutely - Apple is vertically integrated as much as they need to be.

They don't need to own Foxconn or Samsung. It doesn't give them any advantage, and threatening to drop a supplier gives them leverage.

They do engineer capacity shortages to slow down their competitors. From 2011 [1], to 2014 [2], to 2017 [3].

I put "innovator" in quotes for exactly the same reason. Apple "innovates" as much as they need to, such as branding it #courage to omit the headphone jack.

If I "dinged" them, I don't see it. I predicted their future strategy, with the caveat that it might take them years to begin executing on it.

Apple's earnings calls are the most obvious signal that their "core business" is what all the chatter is about. Apple knows they can't ride iPhone and iPhone alone forever.

Interesting that VISA and Mastercard have the legal right to classify a purchase as a currency without informing their users. Going against the IRS notes on Bitcoin being personal property. The implications of this classification in VISA and Mastercard's eyes are substantially different terms for their users, notably in the interest rates and credit limitations of cash advances.
And how many times have RSI and MACD droped and market not collapsed?

You get zero credit for predicting a drop after it happened. And also little credit for "predicting" something based on any indicator with frequent false positives.

Saying "I knew it" because one of 50 indicators showed something the day before is no different than what's happening in non-reproducability of research. State claims and indicators before and shows a track record of prior claims. But please don't after the fact claim "you knew it", everyone is a "newb". It subtracts from the conversation.

Reading about Ultima IV is the difference between generations.

Ultima I and II were a hot mess. Ultima III was remarkable. Ultima IV and V were mind blowing when I was a kid. If a 19 year old "CoD Player" can't figure out to RTFM, its their loss.

RPGs aren't easy for a reason, they're supposed to require effort to master and possibly win. And like life, you don't always win.

Kids today want everything handed to them it seems. I lost interest in games decades ago because I thought we'd get better versions of Ultima IV as time went on. Instead we got "interactive" movies for the most part.

This is definitely true, though many of the big-time poachers are foreigners. A key mechanism that's been shown to reduce poaching is to let the local people derive an economic gain from the animals without killing or maiming them. Like safaris or photo shoots, etc.

> monads are a general computational methodology towards writing syntactically imperative-looking code in purely functional languages

I think you are conflating "monadic do-syntax" and larger concept of monad (in Haskell and elsewhere).

Many constructs in Haskell (moands/comonads/applicatives/free/cofree etc.) are just it, constructs (drawn from theory), which happen to have interesting properties.
And people keep finding interesting applications for them. Some of those applications are tested with time and hence are more familiar (f.x. effect ordering with monads).

No, but it might if something other than an int3 were used. The particular byte value being written actually matters on some Intel processors. You have to first put 0xCC over the first byte of the opcode you want to modify. You can then freely mess with the rest of the instruction. After that, you make the first byte be what you actually want.

There is a discussion about it on the linux-kernel mailing list. Maybe you can find it.
Despite all the negativity around Google Glasses' camera, that was actually the best feature

The negativity around Google Glasses amounted to a mismanaged launch. iPhones were introduced to a public already familiar 1st-hand with cell phones, camera phones, and digital cameras. The public was already passingly familiar with smart phones. Google Glasses were introduced with maximum hype to as many early adopters as possible, with no thought as to how it could backfire, and how to navigate those pitfalls. In retrospect, is it any wonder that there were so many inadvisable actions, all adding up to a societal backlash?

Google Glasses should have been rolled out to far fewer people, and in a form factor almost indistinguishable from ordinary eyeglasses.

The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from.

- Andrew Tanenbaum Computer Networks, 2nd ed., p. 254.

I think all developers go through some experience where they want to just "unify" everything because that will supposedly make it easier for them and other developers.

Overtime as you become more experienced or I guess jaded you realize that reality of a "GUT" technology platform or programming languages is a pipe dream and the effort to get people to use said new format/language/tech is more effort than what you get in return.

Anyway to be short about it I think most should just pick the best tool for the job and stop rebuilding things that don't need to. And if you do please make sure you have a plan to how you are going to replace all the old working stuff.
1. Psychologically, people do not want to pay small amounts. People think that people are more likely to pay small amounts. The reality is that even though amounts can be very small, cognitive cost of making a decision to pay is great and stops people from spending that way.

Even if we had micro transactions with zero fees, it wouldn't take off.

2. Most people use credit cards / debit cards / paypal. Processing fees for those are just too big and Visa etc. is not interested in changing their business model.

So you would have to built an alternative payment system that doesn't interface very often with banks / credit cards etc. but that's pretty much impossible.

And if you built it just for micro transactions, people wouldn't use it because #1.

Child care is $20,000 to $30,000 per year in NYC and SF and many cities, the cost of the child's health care insurance is around $300-400 for a low deductible plan, and the extra rent, is around $1,200 for an additional bedroom, so the fixed costs are at least $40,000 per year, or one partner needs to drop out of the workforce which has its own costs. The birth itself is equivalent to the cost of only a few months of the child's life. You have to really want children to pull it off in American cities today.

I think the only viable option here if we want children (and their parents) in cities -- which would require buy-in from the older generation -- is to raise property / land taxes and use this to afford better schools and pre-K (so you're only on the hook for the first few years of the child's life), and to build more housing of course.

1) IE11 correctly handles `@support (display: grid) {}` (in that it recognizes it does not support it, because IE11's spec-inconsistent implementation is prefixed), which means CSS feature detection for grid works and is easy.

2) IE11 has an -ms- prefixed implementation of grid, it's just somewhat inconsistent with the final spec. That said, it's also rather feature complete comparatively, so if you must support IE11, and must give it grids, there is an option to use IE11's native grids as a terrible fallback.

3) Windows 7's extended support ends January 2020. There is less than two years left of security patches left for Windows 7. If your company isn't already planning to migrate to something more recent than Windows 7, time is ticking.

There are companies that refuse to dilute their brand or sully their image:

- BMW, Lexus

- Tiffany's

- Rolex

Tech companies just think that they are immune to the market forces that keep other high end brands from skimming off the lower rungs (or at least doing it with their marquee brand).

The examples are just the first ones from different markets that came to mind.
No, they are using whatever is cheapest.
I always get confused between css grid, and gss (grid style sheets). I always liked the constraint based approach in gss, and that it was backwards compatible via js.

I think the closest meaning would be more in line with a quote I've heard attributed to Mark Twain: "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first."
> they are very likely to grow more slowly than average (i.e., revert to the mean)

I mostly agree with you, but this is basically the gambler's fallacy.

If I'm flipping a coin every second for days, and I hit a run of 10 heads in a row, "reversion to the mean" just means that the next 10 flips are likely to be less extreme than the previous 10. It does not mean that I should expect "more tails than usual" for the next flips. We revert towards the mean, not past it.

Doesn't it get a bit overwhelming to get a huge list of choices with autocomplete? I've never done any serious work with Java or Kotlin, so I'm genuinely curious.

As long as you have good docs, I find discoverability is rarely an issue. One of the first things I do when picking up a language is look through its built-in constructs, to familiarize myself with the available options.
A man is not the same as a woman, and a man is not the equal of a woman. My only argument is that the linguistic categories of "Woman" and "Man" are useful (in everyday communication, in science and biology, etc.) and I will be slow to give them up. To pretend that no categories exist is to invite chaos, as categories are useful.

...metaphysically speaking, all categories distort, but good luck navigating the world with your eyes that wide open.

Everyone talks about Tulip-mani, but here are some other “extraordinary popular delusions” that don’t get as much press but which are very similar:

- Mississippi Land Scheme, France, late 17th Century

- South Sea Bubble, England, early 18th century

- Florida Land Scheme, America, early 1920’s

- Radio stocks, America, late 1920’s

In particular I’d like to point out Airline stocks from the 30’s. Airplanes were, and still are, an incredibly amazing technology. They were absolutely going to revolutionize the world. However, if you, basically at any point from their invention onwards, invested in airline stocks YOU WOULD HAVE LOST MONEY. I think this is really incredible and should be a reminder to remember to discern between the general field and the specific company. Revolutionary fields do not lead to revolutionary stock market gains necessarily. Well managed companies do, which can exist inside groundbreaking areas or older, more prosaic fields.

The point of worker rights is to provide equal footing for everyone. Your boss would certainly like it if there were no mandatory holidays/PTO...

> Now we have to force men to not work because some people might get get their feelings hurt? Fuck them.

No, but in order to provide equal chances for the kids' development in early life. This is valuable for society as early child-parent bonding issues will lead to issues later on in life.

In addition, by forcing employers to provide PTO for fresh parents, they cannot (legally) force those who cannot object to work. Yes, it might be 6 months or whatever time out for a couple managers but an immediate benefit to millions of poor parents.

I assume you're from the US? Well, try to come over to Europe and work here, with such things as workers' rights, minimum PTO per year, proper health insurance systems... sounds socialist as hell but guess what? Our people are happier and more productive.
