Yes it was invented to act as an intermediary so people didn’t have to fill out 30 form fields correctly. But that didn’t happen UNTIL Apple made their own and everyone else decided they wanted one too. As far as I’m aware it was never proposed before Apple Pay existed.

This is not a case of “embrace and extend“ where Apple took something open and locked it down. This is a case of where existing functionality is now available any standards compliant way instead of having to use Apple’s custom JavaScript calls.

User still have the choice of entering their credit cards the same way they have for the last 20+ years. It’s not like you’re forcing ALL payment on the web through this.

I notice you didn’t propose a suggestion to the security/UI delima I mentioned. I am 100% willing to bet that’s why they didn’t add basic-card support. And it seems like a good decision to me.

This is a brand new API that basically no one uses. If websites start using it because they want to support Apple Pay and see it will be easier to support other payment methods on other browsers… isn’t that a benefit?

I don’t see how this is anything but a very positive move compared to the official way to support Apple Pay last month.
Such a thing does exist[1], though it's a custom build. Incidentally, "shooting brake" is yet another British-ism for station wagon.

The Tragedy of Go Finalizers
The tool allows replays of state, which allows you to reverse execution back to the point where the error occurred.

If you think JavaScript throws errors immediately when you do something obviously wrong, try evaluating the following expressions in your console:

{}.foo
"foo" + 1
undefined + 1

None of these return any sort of error until much later when you get an exception like "Undefined has no properties", or worse, no exception at all just "foo1" or "NaN" printing in a place you expected an actual number. Good luck trying to debug any of these situations if the result gets passed to a callback and the actual exception finally occurs inside a promise inside a callback.
This is ridiculous.

The number of comments on that article along the lines of "this happened to me / my family member" is illuminating.

I think as individuals we don't have a good understanding of just how harmful motor vehicles are. This is even though most people know of someone that was killed or maimed before adulthood. Like suicide, I think the consequences of motor vehicle crashes are mostly hidden. This doesn't only apply to the fatal crashes. I'm sure people that are maimed tend to venture into the public domain less often than the able-bodied. If they were more visible, we might be more aware of the carnage that happens on our roadways.

I think there will come a time when the idea of guiding a couple of tonnes of metal at speeds of up to 70km/h within a metre or two of pedestrians will seem absurd.
A fever, muscle pain, and cough are symptoms of a lot of different diseases, right? Same here, although minus the disease. Grieving, acute stress, homesickness, depression and anxiety and a lot more share the common symptoms described. PTSD does too, but that’s not all that defines it. Intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, hyper vigilance, emotional outbursts, vivid and disturbing dreams, and all of this over a period of months is suggestive of PTSD. If you check out some of the diagnostic manuals, you’ll find a common theme is a list of symptoms, and instruction that a certain number need to be present over a given time frame.

So a cough for a few days suggests a cold, while a cough and high fever for a week suggest something else, and coughing up blood suggests something dire. See what I mean?

Hi Jason,

I can see how the title would make it seem like a dating app. I can assure you that this if it came to that, I would immediately shut it down. I’m not peddling pheromones :)

Instead I’m interested in experimenting with generative closeness, which finds that how close you feel to people depends more on how you talk to them than who it is.

Assuming you can stomach $50 in the case that you do drop the ball notifying the issuer upon realizing your physical card was physically lost, how do the rules differ appreciably?

Also, how does not having a debit card significantly alter the exposure of a given deposit account (eg through the ACH network), besides just having one fewer network address? It seems like the better option is to get a feed of transactions in a convenient manner, whether tablet notifications or an ofx feed.

(Not that I don't want to stick it to the banks as hard as possible for perpetuating this negligent payment network and tricking customers with terms like "identity theft", but just pragmatically speaking)

You do notice that this has been implemented on Chrome already, supporting multiple payment apps or methods? But Apple decided to exclusively support Apple Pay on Safari, both on mobile and desktop?

> But that didn’t happen UNTIL Apple made their own and everyone else decided they wanted one too.

Please, PayPal has had it for over a decade...

Or, as someone from Apple wrote:

> The ability for apps like PayPal to handle payments in the browser requires the Payment Handler API [1]. We aren't announcing support for Payment Handler here, just Payment Request.

> It's not like we're actively restricting or blocking these apps, we just haven't written the code to do this.

There is no lack of regulation in the USA, it's just the USA has some wrong regulations that creates horrible results you see sometimes. Most of it is from a lack of single payer healthcare and a public culture of infrastructure neglect with high amounts of waste compared to pretty much everywhere else in the world.

I really think it comes down to legislation philosophy. In the english speaking countries, cost of compliance is something that is thought about for small businesses, so many regulations are small business exempt until you get to certain employee counts or revenue numbers.

In the EU, that concept doesn't seem to exist and businesses of 1 are assumed to be $100M revenue businesses that can afford to do things like GDPR properly.
Everything in the Solar system is gravitationally bound by the Sun, which is what makes it part of the system in the first place. In that sense, yes, and really the whole Solar system is too. There’s some nuance lost in that formulation though, because unlike a moon that came too close to its planet, broke apart and became a ring, the asteroid belt is much more distant and diffuse. It’s also true that Jupiter sort of “shepherds” the asteroid belt, so unlike something like planetary rings, it’s a much more complex system. I hope that goes some way to answering your question, which wasn’t dumb at all.
Try this Chrome extension, Social Book Post Manager. Appears to do exactly that.
The book is full of interesting informal systems of exchange, slyly presenting them as alternatives to the quantitative capital system we have today, but there are always tradeoffs. Reading the book I kept thinking how terrible it must have been to argue being wronged if you are a party that suffers a violation of the social exchange system and you're on the socially lower end (of power, popularity, etc.), Without a formal system. At least in our capital system if you are socially dispossessed and the numbers don't add up, there is the possibility of audit and petioning being the victim of fraud.

Anarchists are not a monolithic block.

Communism is an anarchist philosophy, ultimately... Agree with it or not, a (simplified) original reading of the Marxist historical programme involves a dialectic model whereby you wind up in a stateless society by building up and tearing down a central state.

This would contrast with anarchocapitalists who arguably advocate a more direct route to anarchy, usually tinged with crypto conservative sentiments...

And probably a classical socialist (as in Benjamin Tucker) take on anarchism would be still different, but I don't think there are many of them left, though there might be some contemporary philosophical adherents to Max stirner that live in that space there.
The fact that this is even a thing is the problem. Is this industry creating anything of actual value or is this just a giant MMORPG where the object is to grind long enough to get a house in the Hamptons?

You can't expect that Stripe doesn't expand their feature set. Seeing that there are hundreds of services built around stripe (https://stripe.com/works-with/types/stripe-extensions) it's really expected that some of them will be cannibalized eventually.

Subscription billing has been in Stripe for many years... it's just been very weak until now. Totally makes sense for them to work on this and if you built a subscription billing company on top of Stripe you should have known it was only a matter of time before theirs got better.
This might be a good idea if clocks were reliable.

I actually think in order to do it right you need to have a sizable team (n > 7) of data scientists in order to keep them honest, productive, and developing their skills. They will need to pair up with a team of software devs/ML/data wranglers to help them push the edge on what they are doing. Depending on the company that could be the complete engineering team, or it could be a disjoint set.
Is it not reasonable to put a laser on a satellite with targeting systems to shoot some of this stuff? It seems like that would be ideal, no ammo needed, no super big nets or propellant (or less anyways).

If you target a bigger piece on one side it could cause a reaction to push it towards earth. If it's a small piece, it may disintegrate it. If it's spinning, it may alter it's orbit to eventually fall, etc...

Is this an unreasonable concept? I know this stuff is hard to find, but here we have a data showing we know where some of it is, and add some radar/lidar/whatever-dar to the satelite and get it a shootin. And no, I don't think a spacebased laser for shooting junk could harm anything planetside.
I see interest here in the new invoicing feature. My question is, if your accounting system can send electronic invoices (Quickbooks does), why do you need Stripe? Especially if it's more expensive?

Every exchange that I’m aware of has a rule allowing them to roll back clearly erroneous transactions. “Clearly erroneous” isn’t always clearly defined, but it would obviously apply in the GS case (huge volume executed at $1).

Common Lisp the Language:

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node6.html#SE...

> Compatibility: Unless there is a good reason to the contrary, Common Lisp strives to be compatible with Lisp Machine Lisp, MacLisp, and Interlisp, roughly in that order.

Zetalisp is a Maclisp dialect. The is basically very little compatibility to Interlisp. This leaves us with Zetalisp as its main predecessor.

When CL was designed, Zetalisp, NIL, Spice Lisp and S-1 Lisp (the ones mentioned mostly in the CL history) were active implementations. They are now forgotton, because they were superseded with a language directly based on their heritage or, in the case of Spice Lisp, they are now actually Common Lisp.

If you actually look at Zetalisp, the main predecessor, it was actually as large or even larger than Common Lisp - and Common Lisp looks larger, because the language includes part of a library and it was documented in more detail than other Lisp languages.

> it looks like Lisp

But it does not run ANY prior Lisp application and basically no substantial, beyond (+ 1 2), Lisp application can run in Clojure without being rewritten. Not ported. Rewritten. Clojure does not have any compatibility to the Lisp from McCarthy - not in the language itself and not even as a compatibility layer. It does not have most of its functions and if the functions have the same name, they mostly do something different. Even if you look at basic numerics, it does not do what one would expect from a Lisp, but uses the host language semantics (Java/JVM, Javascript, ...).

It's base data structure is not the linked list, like every other Lisp dialect.

A sheep has four legs, but it is still not considered to be a dog - it can't even bark.

For me the general concept of being a Lisp is so vague, that I prefer a more strict definition: a language and its successors which strive to be compatible in syntax, semantics, pragmatics and community.

If we take being a Lisp in a broad meaning, then it includes languages like Logo, Dylan, maybe even ECMAscript/Javascript. Which makes it a meaningless term, IMHO. Sure it make you sometimes feel well to be included in a family - but often enough this sets expectations which can not be fulfilled: like reading a Lisp book and then trying the example code in those languages - and then it does not work...

CL is a specific branch of the Lisp tree. Clojure is a new tree, based on roots in Java (runtime and interop), Lisp (various ideas, like expressions, macros, ...), FPLs (ideas like 'persistent' data structures, ...

> I'm pretty frustrated. Suggestions?

I suggest an upgraded 2009 Mac Pro.

The upgrades would include: flash to 5,1, 3.46 MHz Intel Hexcore proc, 32 GB RAM, SSD on a PMCIA card, and 5770 GPU. This should cost $1K USD or less, dual CPU (12 core) for a bit more. Mine Geekbenches at 3800 (S) and 17,800 (M).

I'm running one of these and it has been bulletproof and 100% hardware/software compatible.
This. You are exactly right. I work for a startup not in anyway related to Data Science or ML etc. We use Python here. My flatmates work for a big named DataScience company and most of the time its numpy and a bit of data visualisation.Pandas and Numpy to the rescue. I am like dude, I can do that in blink.

I'm really surprised people don't know this. But I was an early Model 3 deposit holder. I had my deposit refunded this week since I placed it based on the $35k promise, not the current situation.

The standard battery pack is not available yet (my date estimate for this slipped from Early 2018 to Late 2018).

Premium interior is also required.

"Enhanced Autopilot" is $5k.

$35k base
$9k required big battery
$5k required interior upgrade
$5k enhanced autopilot (which everyone probably wants)

$54k total

Add $1k if you want a color other than black.

Should get even more interesting when the $7500 federal tax credit phase-out begins middle of this year.

I think all MOOCs have traditional CS courses but marketing hype is on Data Science and ML. I remember doing Tim Roughgarden(StanFord) Algorithm course on Coursera. Loved it.
> it’s consistently been the case that the lower priced options arrive later.

No it hasn't. I would like to see where, in the first year of accepting Model 3 deposits, Tesla or Musk stated this.
Of course, I’m just saying to charge for it when they built their success on this is leaving a bitter taste... the community that made them are being pushed aside in favour of short term profit
I feel like the author missed the dip caused by the April Fools joke, and tries to create another one.

I think what's Elon is trying with the automation is very similar to difficulties that SpaceX had initially with reusable rockets. At first people doubted SpaceX can replace NASA, then that it was possible to do have rockets to return back, later when it started looking reasonable but SpaceX rockets were still crashing, company like Blue Origin were making fun of them by posting video that they can already land (omitting that just getting 100km up and back was far less challenging than what SpaceX was trying to do).

Eventually SpaceX succeeded and this resulted with much cheaper cost to send satellites to space.

To me it looks like Tesla is going through same thing, they try to automate all manufacturing instead of doing what everyone else is doing, this might make things bad at first, but once they succeed it will be very easy to scale the production and the only limitation will be the supply.

I believe in Tesla primarily because of Elon, he is kind of a guy who doesn't have word "failure" in his dictionary, if Tesla doesn't succeed then most likely what they were trying to accomplish was impossible.
Yeah makes sense. I’m mostly upset they’re charging for it. We offer way more than what Stripe offers our customers. Not worried about that.
I understand your concerns, and they are indeed valid. First off, I doubt that managing millions of files in a traditional hierarchical file system is fun either. You'd likely run into problems with making unique names, sharding folders, and categorizing files that logically belong in multiple places. I also have some worries that existing file systems (say NTFS or XFS) will behave or perform well with millions of files. I believe that implementing tags is a starting point for the problem of managing millions of files in a sensible way.

Speaking of thousand of pictures, what I really want is to dump all my photos into one folder. Right now, tools are ill-equipped to deal with large folders, so I am forced to manually create a new folder for every thousand or so items.
The use of protobuf is mostly to provide a schema and enforce strict[er] typing on JS.

This was insightful to read, I have often wondered what the underlying thinking was with React. I also disagree with it, but... important to know the thinking for sure. Also helps explain why it's been such a struggle and has been less than obvious to me.

I look at react, and I see... shit. As an aside, I'm taking a deep dive reading u on the nuances of JS, so I'm reading along here and I get whats going on at a technical level with the JS; but the actual react code... does not jive with me.

Remember when we though SOAP was cool? React kinda feels like that to me. I don't think it really represents a way forward in programming.

But you know - I respect that there might be people who totally jive with react, who's brains work differently from mine and see nothing but awesome.

This also makes me so, so thankful that I am a Rails developer. React is surely good for certain things, but developer happiness and productivity i think are not among them.
