This is actually an interesting case from a PCI perspective. PCI doesn't protect last 4 of a credit card number or names individually, as you wouldn't be able to link name to card number if stored separately. Name is only 'cardholder data' when stored with a full cc number. In this case both name and last 4 are stored and revealed together, but I still don't think that constitutes PCI protected information according to their definition of cardholder data. My initial interpretation is that they wouldn't be in breach of PCI from just the information we have publically available about this issue.
Society would shrink, it would not collapse.

Pregnancy is a natural consequence of sex. There's no such thing as a truly unexpected pregnancy. Undesired and unplanned perhaps, but not unexpected. In the event it does happen, there are options for either continuing or ending the pregnancy, I still see no reason why anyone should be compensated for voluntarily choosing to continue the pregnancy.
Personally it's because I think a cashless state is "evil" in that now all spending is gatekept by someone - usually a government or large business. Plus tracking every dollar you spend is also problematic for me as well.

So I spend cash whenever possible simply to "vote" that I am willing to deal with a little more hassle in the name of freedom. I also don't like that some private party has effectively inserted themselves into the economy skimming 1.5% or whatever off the top of practically all consumer spending. It's only a cost savings if you literally do away with cash - and that's a dystopia I don't want to live in.

As someone who purchased (early adopted) the Ryzen 5 2400g APU a couple of days after release, I regret every bit of it. We still don't have any motherboards that support it well. I've heard the ASUS boards do okay but they have to be flashed to a new BIOS version (with a different processor in the socket). I'm glad that folks like the hype, but the reality is just terrible.

I agree smoking could harm your heart in other ways. However all stimulants, including caffeine,
pseudoephedrine, cocaine and amphetamines, constrict blood vessels that deliver blood to your heart, and nicotine is a stimulant with vasoconstrictive action. I’m not a medical professional but i’m sure this has been researched and reported on since it is where I got the notion.

It's great that our bodies have this mechanism to reject this artificial progress, the kind that is so fast we can't even get accustomed to it.

There is so much, SO MUCH, to do, to see outside our black mirrors, that we don't even realise. But it's much harder now than ever. Because our phones have made everything seem so easy, it cheapened many experiences (e.g. social interactions). Now that we have to go back we have to realise that the pace is much slower in real life.

Is it overclocked though? The article says it was overclocked to 4.3GHz. But that CPU has a turbo clock of 4.2GHz [1]. So maybe a 0.1 GHz overclock at most? Or none at all? That Intel CPU has a turbo clock of 4.5GHz, so AMD beats Intel at a lower clock speed? But then I read that turbo clock only affects the two most used cores... I guess it's pretty hard to compare lol

>boredom is actually a crucial tool for making our lives happier, more productive, and more creative. -Gretchen Rubin

It reminds me of a book I read last year: Bored and Brilliant[1].

Summary: don't use .eu domains for anything.

If your country elects to leave the EU or possibly just gets into a spat with it, you will have to abandon your domain name and thus all accumulated pagerank, external links, email addresses on business cards etc. Although the EU could easily just block registration of new domains to non-EU homed businesses, they are choosing to go much further and take away existing domain names that are live.

This is entirely consistent with the EU's behaviour in other areas - use whatever bureaucratic mechanisms it has at its disposal to cause as much annoyance or chaos as possible to any country that decides to leave, in the hope of dissuading the others.

The term research became extremely diluted now.
It attempts to put very different things under one roof,
and so is not very useful.

Near the end of that blog post you find:

>>Reading the book, I felt that most of my research is not science, barely engineering and absolutely not mathematics. But I still think I do valuable and interesting research, so I set out to explain what I am doing.

Of course, both the blog author and the book author are right in a way. But probably the useful thing to do here would be to come up with new names for these different kind of activities, rather than destroy the language by trying to just place one more thing into "research in general" category.

> Biology has already discriminated and made her life hard, should we make it worse?

Her choices made her life hard. She could have not had the child. Biology did not discriminate against her, it gave her a choice. In modern society having children is absolutely a choice, for both parties involved.

You can argue that the government should, which, while I don't at all agree with, is reasonable. It's not reasonable, however, to expect employers to subsidize the cost of having children.
Cashless transactions require a third party to give permission for the transaction, typically in real-time.

It's completely normal to be "basically okay" with that... I use cards/apps to pay on a regular basis. However, it's a long haul between "okay with cashless transactions being a popular payment method", and "eliminating cash."

What's the nominal/real yield on that account? When savings rates are negative nominal (which cashless may presage) or negative real, the carry on hard assets becomes positive, making them more attractive.
Politics are like medieval royalty. A complex inter-generational web of influence, alliances, and quid pro quo. Support of these influencers was required to earn votes, and policy had to repay these influencers - rather than voters.

Through the application of advanced techniques and data, Facebook enabled the circumvention of that at a shockingly lower cost than in the past.
I agree this is definitely a move in the right direction but sadly the press has already jumped to conclusions that the data doesn't show.

I don't know enough about all the parts of the car, but generally speaking, many people have argued that an electric car is much simpler than a mechanical car. (Something to do with the complexity of the engine, gear, drive train etc).

If I recall, one study indicated that maintenance costs on an ev are a fraction of the current costs for that reason.
We're all getting bored because microconsumption is inherently unsatisfying. You're waiting for others to produce a tiny bit of content for you to consume. Perhaps we will see a renaissance of long form consumption, dedication to work and study, and doing things for their own benefit rather than for social gain.
That is a good point, but flagging shouldn’t be the end of the line for soft deleted data. There should be a process going back and removing everything that was flagged for deletion, prioritized to guarantee deletion within a set time frame but without impacting performance. Meanwhile, most queries should be done through a view that automatically masks out any flagged data. It’s a basic data integrity feature that shouldn’t be left to their API (which is such a fast moving target that one developer doesn’t know what the other is doing much of the time).

7 Ways VR and AR will change healthcare
Beyond all the spin, they stated the following important facts:

- Produced 2020 cars and expect to produce the 2000 next week.
- Tesla does not require an equity or debt raise this year

I think these two facts laid to rest a number of concerns from last couple week: production rate, running out of money, moody's rating cut. The one major thing that's still pending is the last week's fatal crash.

As far as I can tell, this is a great progress from where we were last week.
Why can't it be a combination of both, ignoring compensation? Why can't one sex have a higher propensity towards a profession than the other, independent of compensation? It seems to me that it is a complex issue that has a lot more factors than simply discrimination.

Maybe it is just my experience, but individual tracking (which is the sort of tracking under consideration here) does not seem to help, let alone be necessary. I do not think I have ever found something of interest in things that have been pushed at me, and the only thing that helps navigating a massive catalog is more extensive-in-scope and discriminating search capabilities.
Boredom is a double-edged sword; it can lead to creativity, but it can also lead to drug and alcohol abuse. Small towns and counties are rife with substance abuse and everyone will tell you it's because "there's nothing better to do".

If boredom can be reasonably structured, then I think it's a good thing, but unfettered boredom is a bit risky in my opinion.
Well written and argued, but I have two issues.

First, it's arguing against the natural evolution of technology. Centralization is a re-occurring feature of software systems due to it's technical benefits. Data collection, organizational structure [0] and other considerations also affect centralization, but their existence doesn't negate the technical considerations. Whether an ATM or bus card system should be (de)centralized is partially a technical issue: what networks are available and how reliable are they, what's the cpu/mem/storage of the end points, how often do we update, etc...

Second, restraint of Governments might be aided by making collection more difficult, but Governments can deploy large groups of people for long periods, while individuals and smaller groups cannot. Youtube and cellphone cameras empower the weak, while the old technology of cameras belonging to local businesses [1] benefit only the Government (or very large groups.)

Not everyone can, or wants to use containers. They solve certain issues but bring others into the mix. This is hardly a "solved" problem. It is very much not outdated.
The challenge here is that there's equal and opposing problem - the social sciences (Econ, Psych, etc.) have established that what people say (expressed preferences) and how they act (implied preferences) are inconsistent. So you're adding an additional dimension here that further complicates the calculation.

>Academic papers are written for an audience of experts.

You and parent are saying the same thing. Just because they are written for experts does not mean they are not written in an opaque manner.

And as someone who was once in academia, they really are written for 2 reasons:

1. To get past the peer review process.

2. To be written in the minimal time possible.

Enlightening peers comes a distant 3rd.

Example: It took days for a grad student/professor to derive a formula that is included in the paper.

Professor insists the derivation not be included in the paper. Insists the student not even mention in a few sentences the steps to get to it. Claims "any expert should be able to do this. No need to add it to the paper."

It took that expert days to do it. Unless it turns out to be a seminal paper, I guarantee that in most cases, no reader of the paper will even try. An error in the derivation? No one would catch it. Clearly, the professor is not even writing for his peers.

I do agree with the parent - the practices approach that of a guild more than any objective measure of explaining things.
Where are you buying that you have to enter the amount into the POS to open the drawer but not to start the card transaction?

You can't consider the time it takes to enter the amount only in the case that suits you. If you have to enter the amount for cash, you have to enter it for the card as well.

It's obvious that Mark values his privacy. There are numerous articles about the lengths he goes to secure his physical privacy at pretty much every single residence that he owns.

To have a business model that operates completely opposite to that isn't a surprise if you read some of his original view points on facebook users and also how he handles various issues at the company.

That's not to say that he hasn't changed with time, but certainly, no one looks at Facebook and says oh gee wiz that's a company that has my best interests at heart.

So if the way you live your life personally is at odds with the way you run your company, then something really is out of whack, and it is a element of distrust in a sense. The work culture, and life culture don't match, so in essence you are saying that one of them is "wrong" by the very fact that they don't coincide.

I think what's interesting is that we are looking at Facebook and saying oh man 2B people, that's a big moat, how will Facebook get displaced. But I think that process has already started and it won't be through the #DeleteFacebook campaign, but instead a social network that takes messaging, group organizing, and events - and then layers privacy on top of that.

Hrm... maybe like Telegram which just passed 200MM users.

The network is the key moat, but we are happy to part with most of the useless stuff on Facebook, and you can always download and archive your photos for later, though I think everyone is using Facebook photos less and less anyway.

This disruption can happen very rapidly, in the span of 2-3 years, Telegram can become a network with 1B people, and everyone who really does use Facebook as a tool to keep in touch with people can easily leave.

I think that's because FP does a number of things right, like immutability, which leads to better composability of programs. These two aspects were what gave Eve a lot of its nice properties.
Why not just give me more control? Why can't I say (soon literally) "Dear Zuck - show me news" or "Dear Zuck - show me cat photos"?

For me, FB is far too controlling. So much so that I have 10 groups that I've started to "organize" my friends and in a way build my own feed. It helps. But it still not what I want, mainly because a lot of people are not group share minded.

I don't understand why FB is spending soooo much time and effort trying to guess what I want when all it has to do is...wait for it...ask.
