What's stopping them is a simple question: who are you transferring the money to?

A lot of banks allow customers to do instant transfers between customers of that bank, but for this to be a killer feature, you have to have enough customers that this is significant. In NYC, Chase is almost there--they have enough of a share of NYC that it's worth asking if the person you're transferring to has Chase so you can use their instant transfer system.

But the vast majority of transactions are still between customers of different banks, and there's not much reason for a bank to process a competitor's payment quickly--it doesn't give you a competitive advantage, while processing slowly allows you to collect interest on the money while it's in transit.

I think that part of the disparity is in frequency of use: if you cook on a daily (restaurant) or even weekly (enthusiast) schedule, you won't have problems. If you only grill on major holidays, you won't be able to just use it without cleaning.

Also, a grooved scraper with the right spacing for your grate does a great job of removing large chunks. You don't need to polish it to bare metal, just remove that excess. Scrape after grilling while it's hot, wait a week, wipe with a paper towel dipped in olive oil when it warms up, and it works well enough for me.
I never understand why it is looked down upon so much here on HN. Sure anyone can write a crappy insecure PHP for checking a few hundred records. But building a secure maintainable performant application takes some knowledge.

I was going to make something like this, but I wanted it across all devices, synced to google docs based on yaml. Is there such a thing already?

The use case is really just textual entry on pcs and consumption/light editing on mobile.
After using it for half a minute I love it already!!!

One thing I am missing thought is the ability to hide sub-nodes within the mind map.

Thanks for sharing :-)
It's definitely possible. But things happen and people miss flights. Unless I do this several times a year on the same airline, how would they ever be able to tell the difference between intentionally and unintentionally missing the return flight?
Your company has to have the right culture for this. Companies like this are rare. Most just assign whatever's in the queue to whomever's going to take it, meaning that everyone has "something" to do at all times.

MarsOne definitely introduced the concept of colonizing Mars to a wider audience. For that, I think, they get far less credit than they deserve.

"Scientific Computing" was probably too general of a term to use. I focus more on FEA/CFD type problems where it's effectively been a bust. Most of our benchmarks show 8 cpu cores + 1 GPU is roughly equivalent to 10 cpu cores, and a second GPU has little additional benefit.

I'm sure there are other disciplines that have seen a larger benefit.
This is really fantastic. Such a simple concept that works so well.

Hardly. Chargebacks on credit cards can occur up to 3 months after payment. Good for customers who need that dispute feature but bad for others because those costs are socialized onto merchants and other consumers.

It might be nice to have a standalone Z80 compiler for Modula-2 (or TP, for that matter) for retro game programming. Of course, you're going to have to emulate this compiler since it's also written in Z80 machine code...
I guess it would change the API. You could have a separate file where you define an enum with all module identifiers plus a max value that all modules should include. Then you could omit whole hashmap dance and just use a static array. Then even an IDE or your text editor could give completions easily.

That would be less dynamic, but it's all a game of tradeoffs.

It could be beneficial to also support poll, as it's more portable and should be faster for low fd number. Probably not worth the hassle for a side project though.

BTW: nice clean and simple library. I'm more inclined towards libdill and coroutines, but they are certainly more complicated under the hood.
The average person could do with a lot more introspection, but to suggest that they cannot effect change or note its imperfections without being perfect themselves is silly.

Isn't the core still being worked on? Meaning things like the lightening network and proof of stake? There has been tremendous buzz about this tech even in its limited state so imagine when it becomes very friendly/usable/stable/focused/possibly efficient... in use case and where things like Mt.

I think this paper [1] made a decent case for permissioned blockchains (i.e. "where the participants are limited to a predefined set") in cases where one must store state, accommodate multiple writers who do not trust each other and does not have access to an always-online trusted third party. The number of cases where the final condition applies is small, but positive.

We're building a food/nutrition knowledge graph. Goal is to be able to take a product, recipe or restaurant dish that someone ate and determine what type of food it is, cuisine, ingredients, dietary properties and etc.
As an evolving self-taught I think it's too early for me to speak confidently on this topic, however I will add my two sense for what it's worth. Additional background; I'm the local Admin for a Free Code Camp (FCC) group so I meet lots of aspiring self-taughts btw.

1. Many many self-taughts (ST?) aren't joining coding for passion, they are joining because they want to change careers and think coding is easy. They think this (IMO) because it's famous for hiring non-graduates.

2. They then proceed to join groups like FCC in massive surges that closely correlates what's happening in the job market; which doesn't fuel me with confidence in their conviction to become a ST dev. It's kind of like joining the gym Jan 1; if you wanted to be healthy why wait until your NYE resolution. So like a gym 90% of those that join then go silent in our group nearly immediately.

3. I'd say about 1-4% of those who join even complete FCC and of those I genuinely believe they've all found success. Ironically FCC draws in a ton of weak links because it's free, but also because it's free very very few of us ever finish and get a certificate.

If I had a chance to hire an ST that was junior I'd definitely be curious about their story. Their story will tell you so much about the 'man' they are:

- Did they go balls deep and pay $15k+ and give up sleep and life for 3+ months? What did they do afterwards? What did they do before?

- Did they chip away at FCC for 1-2 years building out a portfolio, FINISHING at least the FE certificate?

You see where I'm going here? In my life I've never met someone who did truly well without an internal desire to get it done and that can't be taught. The real advantage of an ST can be their resilience and determination to do what is needed to succeed and if you ignore that amazing skill/asset just because he's without a paper then it's definitely a mistake.

So while I'm not advocating for STs over Grads, I am saying they can be very special and valuable assets that are worth taking a long look at when you get their resume.

You'll see more of me soon; I'm quiting my job May 1 to focus on finishing my skills to a commercial standard, which I've waited two years to do; I'm finally near the finish line and I can't be more excited to be going full time on my passion.

No, the fundamental assumption is that distributed consensus in itself is useful. So far, there are some applications (databases), but for the stuff they are using the blockchain for, not so much.

This is incorrect. The high power charge is 20 volts, below the safe threshold of ~50V set by such agencies as: OSHA, NFPA, ANSI, IEEE, UL, IEC and others.

The real difference is USB was a completely new technology with zero market penetration so growing pains were inevitable. USB-C should not have these growing pains as they should have learned from 20+ years of developing the standard.

This is more or less the curse of the almighty blockchain; it's very hard to think of a plausible, actually useful, application which can't be accomplished far more cheaply and simply using conventional means.
Just about everyone that's worked in finance professionally gets it - netting, collateral calls etc all happen daily and instantaneously and have been for decades.

Having worked in computational finance the entirety of my career, I still don't totally understand how this combination of Dunning-Kruger and Libertarian leanings somehow became a thing.

The financial times while back had an interesting take: there's a structural reason why VC throws money at seemingly non-nonsensical ideas (Theranos, wireless charging etc) - many have a policy portfolio mandate to shoot for 100x returns and as such they will throw money at impossible things as part of their fiduciary duty. So, especially in the climate of free money, funding a slightly-better-widget-startup takes a backseat to things with lottery odds that may not make any sense at all.

I will be willing to bet that by 2040 SpaceX significantly helps send people to Mars, either by launching the people to orbit, launching a lot of the supplies (at least 40% by mass), building the Mars lander that lands people there, or even the whole-hog BFR/ITS architecture as Musk presented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qo78R_yYFA

Willing to bet a $beverage?

SpaceX has the largest (by payload) current launch vehicle in the world, and pioneered supersonic retropropulsion for landing (a critical technology for human-scale Mars landers) which they use to reduce the cost of space launch with most flights. They're the only US company that does regular orbital capsule flights (including reentry and recovery), and they're one of two US companies that will be flying people to orbit within about a year. Their Falcon 9, also one of the largest rockets in the world, launched more often to orbit than any other rocket (of any size) in the world last year. They're also currently building a reusable upper stage (which is also a human-scale Mars lander) for an even larger launch vehicle. If anybody is going to be landing people on Mars within the next couple decades, they'll most likely be at least substantially helped by SpaceX.

From personal experience as a dishwasher, old steel wool tends to lose little pieces as it gets more and more brittle. Pieces would get caught in the rivets where the pan handle attaches. I was yelled at more than once because of that—but how else do you clean a pan?
Occam's razor in a lot of ways is a proxy for Bayes' theorem. The theorem "punishes" more complex models by shrinking the prior term and increasing the marginal term, while the likelihood is pegged at P = 1.0 at most.

You can come up with a model that perfectly explains the outcome ( P(e|H) = 1 ) but you have to offset the insane improbability of pegging all those free parameters at the value they are at ( P(H) ).
> It really calls into question the dominant Silicon Valley culture and narrative that we should join startups and change the world with new technologies.

This sounds like a non sequitur. The main reason you joined Google over Lytro was money and quality of life.

There's nothing wrong with that. You didn't have as strong of a desire to change the world by building Lytro's new camera technologies. Others who were likely in similar situations balanced that equation differently.

What I meant is that with a decent database design, you shouldn't need to much code to get things done (using Django as I am used to).

Instead I am jumping from file to file, trying to work out what is going on, what all the seemingly unnecessary code is doing. It can be both tedious and difficult just to get data between the database and a webpage.

I want to rewrite a lot of it, but I understand that working, tested code is actually worth quite a lot, and there may be functionality that i haven't understood yet.
As a junior dev, keep us on the edge of just enough work and too much work. Too little work seems to cause disdain of the company (questioning why we were even hired) among my other junior peers. On the other hand, too much work causes us to burn out too quickly since we are still solidifying our time management and prioritization skills.

Sure but in the gap between your changes and the long term change in churn, a third party isn't going to be able to quantitatively monitor future churn rates before they happen.

The solution doesn't fix the problem, because the problem is that quality of business models just plain don't sample for customer goodwill - they measure sales metrics rather than feelings. So the sales metrics are gamed at the expense of the consumer feelings that create the metrics in the first place.

It's almost certainly a "job-year" [1] which is an economic construct representing the equivalent of one person being employed for one year. For example, a 6 month construction project with 2 guys still equals one job year.

Most PR-style announcements like this seems to simplify job-years to jobs.

There is also direct employment (# of people hired for the project itself, e.g. construction) vs indirect employment (# of people hired in supply chain) vs induced employment (# of people hired by associate economic impact, e.g. construction worker spends money earned on project in local community and supports retail) [2], all of which may be consolidated for a PR style announcement.

Could, but, IMO, if you don't need to run arbitrary linux apps then gitbash is the better option. It's more performant for file operations, and you don't have to deal with gotchas like, "Don't edit files that don't belong to WSL from WSL, only read them."
It also works great as fuel for pellet stoves. It produces roughly the same amount of ash as wood pellets. I would love to use it as a renewable energy source.

Super neat. Quick bug report.

I started typing as soon as I could. I jotted some notes down and indented with spacebar. After I had 5-6 lines written I noticed that the webapp completely deleted everything I had written and replaced it with something else. I guess the page hadn't fully loaded yet or something. But I would recommend hiding the text view or something until it is ready, so you do not accidentally delete user data.

Otherwise super neat!
I though for BREACH to work, the user input have to echo on the page, together with the secret. So that when they repeat, the compression size reduce.

If we didn't echo any user input data to the page, then we aren't affected by BREACH, right?

I hope this gets them to focus Windows 10 back on corporate uses, or at least giving back some reasonable aspect of control. Candy Crush ads built in to Windows Pro is just absurd.

Not upvoting or replying, no. There are a handful of people here, though, that I respect enough that I am more likely to read their comments, and more likely to think twice if my first reaction is to disagree.
Agreed. Comparing Snap to other companies with similar # of employees, it really shows how bloated the company is especially since there is only _so_ much you can work on with a single purpose app. I wonder if their decentralized office tactic helped lead to this?

The best thing to do is teach them to dig into problems, learn on their own, and think for themselves. They will have to learn how to deal with missing documentation and unclear/messy code. They will have to learn how to unblock themselves when they are blocked, rather than just getting stuck. They will have to learn how to work around obstacles and think outside the box whenever the immediate initial solution that comes to mind turns out to not be a working one.

Coworkers shouldn't be treated as StackOverflow unless absolutely last resort because it is incredibly distracting to answer mentees' easily-Googled questions about built-in language API calls every 15 minutes or so. A lot of programming is just professional Googling. Once they can function independently, they are no longer junior developers IMO, but this is a learned skill.

When I started programming, I had enough people on IRC berating and insulting me for asking about standard C library calls that I learned how to research and solve my own problems the hard way (the acronym "RTFM" is toxic). It felt awful, and I can imagine a lot of people getting discouraged and just giving up.
