There are multiple ethnic groups that follow the Jewish religion – Askhenazim are ethnically quite different from Mizrahim for example – both culturally and genetically. Now, there is some cultural and genetic commonality between the two groups, but is it sufficient to say they are the same ethnicity? Well, Italians and Spaniards traditionally share a religion (Roman Catholicism), speak related languages, and share some biological ancestry – does that make them one ethnic group? From a linguistic perspective, Italians and Spaniards arguably have more in common than Askhenazim and Mizrahim, since Italian and Spanish belong to the same branch (Romance/Italic) of the same language family (Indo-European), whereas Yiddish and Judeo-Arabic belong to completely different language families–Indo-European vs. Afroasiatic–despite sharing influence from Hebrew and Aramaic.
My bank would do normal phone banking authentication, so that means I need to know my name and address (which someone who had intercepted the card has) and then I need to know a password (from which I will be asked random letters) and for some other thing I told them like "my favourite food is Apple pie" or "I secretly hate owls".

No idea what would happen for a company, but I wouldn't be surprised if some PA picked the answers and wrote them down. Which still makes it hard for a random crook to have them.

The email went to spam on all of my google hosted email accounts that are associated with a stripe account.
Thanks so much for the love here. :)
A really cool touch is that those animated examples of pricing and other elements are actually animated html elements, not GIFs or video files. Again really slick touch from designers at Stripe.
Hierarchical file systems allow you to say for sure where a file isn't. Every tagging system I've ever played with has turned out to be a mess in actual use compared to the simplicity a hierarchy provides.

(I am just a user, not a developer of filesystems, so this may be a naive opinion.)
I don't know much about the Yemen civil war, but I've heard that Iranian influence is overblown. In any case, even if Iran is behind the other side, what Saudi and the US are doing is unconscionable.

Here's an example of this other take:

We've been scrambling to get migrated to the Instagram Graph API, as we have a lot of paying businesses using our app to manage their Instagram presence, and that's now not possible with the 'deprecation' of the API.

What's worse is, we can't even migrate to the Instagram Graph API, as Facebook has:
1. Temporarily stopped app reviews, so there's no way for us to go live with our Instagram Permissions on FB Graph API.
2. Blocked access to the Instagram Graph API, even for our development and staging apps.

So they expect us to migrate to the new Graph API, but there's no way to do it since we can't even develop and test the API given that access is blocked.
I put in a PR to fix that: https://github.com/NightDiveStudios/shockmac/pull/2

Best thing about GPL code is that we can fix it!

It's no more odd than just 'LF'. At the end of the day, something has to represent 'end of line'. The outlier here is really MS DOS, wasting a perfectly good byte on pretend-lineprinter codes.
I understand how handy are solutions like stripe, but at least in Europe you can have a payment gateway from your bank just like they can give you a handheld device, and the rates are way cheaper, I just looked one which is 0.50%, six time less than stripe.

Josh to be honest we used you guys for almost a year and repeatedly gave large amounts of feedback, none of it which was really acted upon. To the point it felt that Baremetrics had essentially stalled. In fact, the only change I remember from the time we used Baremetrics is that the colors of the dashboard changed to be more pastel.

Baremetrics is a great "early release" product, but we don't see development on it, nor even a hint at a roadmap. Profitwell has a lot more features (Paypal support, customer tracing, a powerful UI, etc) and we constantly see new features being added.

I could tell you the same stuff I said when we unsubscribed: Paypal support, a better API, "cancel at period end" support (which Profitwell does have), etc... Wish you well with it, and I hope for your success as I really like how transparently you run Baremetrics, but the product just doesn't cut it for us. And I think you should definitely pay attention to what Profitwell is doing (or any competitors really).
I'd be curious - from an academic/economist-like perspective - if that is a curve you can't see in data until it's broken. People stay and try and tough it out, then once they reach their tipping point they rage-quit and you never get them back.

I kind of suspect that's what happened last year - everyone was just toughing it out waiting for the pro kits, and when it never came the threats that came in from big shops were very real. Enough so that Apple broke every tradition it had regarding future product announcements, and laid a lot of their goodwill on the line to promise a fix.
Coinbase only supported Bitcoin Cash support after some backlash. They'd previously announced (pre-fork) they would not be supporting it and that you should withdraw your Bitcoin if you wanted access to the forked currency post-fork. Did Armstrong publicly change his mind?
I've been using this Chrome extension [0] for many years which simply hides the news feed. After installing it, I never looked back. I haven't disabled it once. If everyone stopped using the news feed, Facebook would be dead. It's the heart of the addiction machine.

Last I used Illumos it had pretty poor hardware support (at least at entry to midlevel hardware which for obvious reasons must be a less important priority). I also ran into issues with their KVM port; mainly panics with various linux kernels (kvm clock, virt*, ..). Good experience in general though, especially the zones/zfs/kvm combo.
So Sparse Voxel Oct-trees (SVOs) have been around for a while now. NVIDIA heavily invested in researchers for this. However, the existing workflow for game / movie assets is polygonal in nature, making this a really niche technology. They've instead focused on Bounding Volume Hierarchies (bVOs) which allow for fast ray tracing into traditional models / with normal materials.
The quickest way to get an idea of the ethics of a company you are about to sign up with is to see how easy it is to delete your account. If that's not automatic and with only one confirmation whether or not you are sure and that you can't undo your deletion then you are best off not to give them your data in the first place.

For all those FB users this is of course way too late, but maybe it will help some of you in the future with other services.
I deleted my account a few days ago. It was surprisingly less trouble than expected. I had very little linked to my account, only my PlayStation account had access for posting media from my PS4 which I only did once or twice.

I downloaded my data, which took about 20 minutes to accumulate, hit the delete button and had to confirm a second time with my password. Supposedly my account will be removed after 14 days of being deactivated. I had to be careful to remove all bookmarks etc to prevent any accidental logins resulting in the process being reversed.

Glad it’s gone, I don’t miss it. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for this type of thing on the internet.
Every test run could theoretically start with a jump or some other behavior to exercise the different physics or whatever among the 3 games, and use a discriminator network to feed into one of three networks individually trained on each game?
The two big waferscale efforts of the 1980s were by Gene Amdahl and Clive Sinclair.

Amdahl did run into technical problems connecting multiple wafers to build mainframes and using lasers to swap out bad subparts (both currently solved problems and normal industry practice).

But in Sinclair's case investors pulled out despite technical success because hard disk prices started falling exponentially after having stayed stable for many years. The irony was that he had done the "silicon disk" waferscale RAM just to not scare of investors with his real goal of a manycore processor on a wafer.
I'm surprised there wasn't a step that involved a locked file cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard."
Yes, they reposted our article on their site (with our blessing, of course).
I believe VB's statement was: are we building a successful platform or allowing speculation to drive the value. In my opinion, VB believes in Ethereum / crypto, but he wants more developers to improve the platform and build on it. This is in line with Coinbase's stated vision.
As a connect platform partner this is a bit of a blow as this impacts our customer acquisition funnel, we drive customers to Stripe and then they use us.

I have been talking with Tara who has been very helpful on this matter but wanted to pitch in here.

I think from a connect platform partner stand point it comes across as a bit inconsiderate almost.

I have already seen some people immediately put off considering using Stripe now due to the additional fees and complexity. It just doesn't seem to sit well.

The Subscriptions API was the main reason for Stripe's success and now it's being charged for, why not charge for the dashboard usage and leave the api users alone?
This thing is exactly why i want this endeavor to fail. I don't know who the guy is but it seems like an attempt from an SV millionaire to capture the future cryptomarket value (SV has already captured the entry gates with coinbase, it seems). I thought cryptocoins were not about being territorial. They 'd better use their energy to create easy to use crypto solutions for commerce / websites.
According to Wikipedia, GDPR arrives on the 25th of May. Do you know it services are truly forced to comply from that day onwards or should we wait even longer?
Back in my day, Anarchists destroyed public property, not fix it! Kidding aside, this is pretty cool, but really sad that the city can't somehow fix them before property damage or someone gets hurt.

This is an improvement over the choice I thought they'd made, but it's an improvement in utility alone, and also even more of a headscratcher of a choice when it comes to the UI. It means they realized you want the handle right where the touchdown happens, so they can't plead ignorance, but they chose to have the in-touchbar visualization the user is interacting with appear elsewhere. It's not just non-obvious and therefore a failure of spreading the news, it's actually misdirection. Not having any visual feedback in the touchbar at all would have been better UX. As you pointed out earlier, the screen does fine for independent visualizations.

Interesting, it's got a lot in common with one of the complaints around the escape key -- the actual touchable area is different than the outlined area (which is positioned farther in from the keyboard than it's historically been).

Laptops have long had a display surface and a touch surface. If marrying them is worth experimenting with, getting the visual feedback connected with touches correctly is a crucial idea.
Sorry for late reply... their authoring tools use Unity, not sure about hosting. It's not open source, but it is free (not sure how they plan on making money).

Basically you can create a "world" or a character model and use it or publish it freely, and in-game you can visit other people's worlds.
Start squatting on it, the real owners will turn up pronto :)
That's a great take, didn't think of that. Thanks for your response.

It provides transparency and auditability, just like how nearly all court records are public. There are many retail businesses I worked with in the past that were tax cheats, gave up reporting 'em since I couldn't consistently tell what they did and did not report. Sometimes sales tax from the 6th register (which was on a separate database) would be reported, other times not. I know they're still pocketing $5k to $10k a month in sales tax at one business.
The Blockchain Effect: Network Effects Without Market Power Costs
Thanks for the reassurance on the current subscriptions integration. A first look at the API suggested that updating to the latest Stripe API was now going to involve some breaking changes, e.g., introducing products and requiring one to set up a plan.

On the decline rates, we actually have dropped you (Stripe) a line -- many times, in fact, and via multiple channels. In some cases, we never received a reply at all. In the others, the reply was essentially that you didn't know why the failure rates were so high and there was nothing actionable you could suggest to improve them.

I appreciate the link to the declines page, but I think that information has been available for quite a while now. What we have really needed is the detail about exactly what would happen if we configured the existing Dunning management to retry things, for example which objects get created in your system and/or get reused on retried payments, and which webhooks get sent at which points in the try/retry/give-up process and which objects they refer to. As far as I'm aware, none of this has ever been included in your usual documentation areas.

With today's announcement, it would now also be helpful to know the differences between the previous Dunning controls and the new Billing system, and how to migrate between them if necessary. The controls for the new smart retries feature seem to be in the same area on the dashboard, but as with the older controls, if there's any documentation anywhere about what any of these settings actually do under the hood, or how to simulate the relevant scenarios for integration and testing purposes, I can't find it.

It would also help to fix some limitations of the current tools, and again maybe the new Billing system helps with this but we haven't spotted it yet. For example, one problem we've run into a few times now is that address verifications are all-or-nothing. Either we don't use them (presumably worse for fraud detection) or we do (but then if a customer moves house and doesn't tell us, their next charge on a subscription will fail). In terms of risk, it would seem to make sense to check the details that don't appear on the card itself for the first payment(s), but after a while to trust that the card really does belong to the customer claiming it and downgrade/ignore those signals in later fraud checks, but this doesn't currently seem to be possible.

I appreciate that you're probably all very busy today with the roll-out of the new system, but I'm sure we're not the only ones who would be grateful if these kinds of documentation gaps and any actual limitations in the functionality could be addressed when time allows.
As far as I can tell this is just dashboard and api only. But I guess they're moving towards that. Ironic as the connect partners that helped them grow are now having their toes be stepped on. Not a nice way to play. Burn the community who helped you get there in the first place.

Turn and burn it seems
Strongly concur
Best of luck. Don't have any suggestions to offer but I've upvoted for visibility.
I am so sorry to come as rude. But my question is least about reminding you the things that you are doing wrong. I wanted to ask you about the involvement of YC/Google/any third party, and if there is some expectation of them from this initiative.

I really believe that you are doing this for the best of reason and want to see progress in this field, but there are other parties involved here.

As an outsider, comparing BareMetrics vs Profitwell - all I have to say is thank you for 2 specific reasons.

1. BareMetrics has a live demo. Profitwell tried to make me schedule a call with a sales person just to view the product.

2. BareMetrics has simple pricing. With Profitwell, I literally couldn't figure out how much it'd cost if I were to use them.
Ooh I love this and will start using it immediately
I'm investigating similar options at the moment, but having a spouse who isn't remote complicates things a bit. Even so the idea that changing cities (countries, even) wouldn't necessarily mean changing jobs is a relief.
It’s currently not possible to request all your data from Instagram, so I’m waiting for GDPR to arrive before closing my account.

That way I can both get a backup of my images and have a reasonable chance of my data actually being deleted.
I got a copy of Apicius several years ago. For reasons which now escape me, my mother and i decided to cook from it for our christmas dinner. That was a memorable meal.

OFTN OSWG started work on a tag-based filesystem called TPFS[1] back in 2011. The Haskell source code might be useful to anyone interested in developing platforms that use tag-based filesystems.

It seems likely you'd have to process as you go, and not store it all. Or have one hell of a datacenter/buffer like the LHC does, holding it until it can be crunched down to a "simple" network instead of voxel data.
A similar advice holds when you're buying some (physical) product: first call customer service, and see how long it takes them to pick up the phone.
Bitcoin is not "deflationary". It's lost roughly the same amount of purchasing power since around Christmas as the USD has in my lifetime.

The difference between the USD and BTC isn't that one loses value every single year and the other doesn't. It's that one is actively managed to ensure it retains ~98% of its purchasing power over the course of the year and the other isn't.

That 2% fall really isn't such a huge deal for people that want instant access to the only money their creditors are required to accept, the only money they can pay their taxes in and the only money that's widely accepted elsewhere. (Other assets might actually gain purchasing power more often than not, but can also fall relative to that impending tax bill)

Most of the world's wealth is stored in assets which are not money or bank accounts anyway. And if people want to hold all their savings in something with a better return than their bank account, then bonds and stocks have been around, fungible and convertible to cash via apps for a very long time and payment app-ized versions of those are a far more plausible alternative to traditional banking for the average person than intrinsically worthless cryptographic signatures "mined" in China and shilled for on forums. The only thing unique about cryptocurrency as an economic asset is that it has no legal tender status and zero income stream, rights or assets attached to it. There might have been people orchestrating surges and crashes, but that's pretty much the best case scenario for assets which people have no reason to value at all.
I'm going to really enjoy piecing apart the incredible detail put into this article.

Oh man, do you think if the popular coins start moving to proof of stake, used graphics cards will flood onto eBay and the like and we'll get to snap them up cheap for some machine learning?
Firing is not because of bloat, but because that person needs replacing - it takes time to detect bad hires; and also people change, even if they were a good hire a few years ago, now they may not any longer be good at that position in that company.

Looking back with hindsight at the firings I've participated over the years, in all cases it would've been better if they would have been done much sooner; and most of the doubtful decisions that didn't result in a firing actually should have.

In essence, firing/not-firing usually turns out into a tradeoff between avoiding some short-term pain ("it's hard to get a replacement right now, it will affect schedules") and a significant long-term productivity cost. And people tend to prioritize the short term problems, while almost always it's actually better to take the short term hit to build better results in the long run - so, as a rule of thumb, it should be expected that right now you're firing a bit too carefully and should be firing a bit more (but not too much, naturally).
How does this article support your claim that Jews survived because they "had means"??? Showing a disproportionate amount of jews in finance in the last 500 years in a few limited instances...in no way shape or form speaks to the means of the vast majority of Jews nor does it to speak to 3000 years of persecution.

You wrote a previous comment about jews distinctive physical features and now you speak of their means and share an article about rotschild and than view a Jew who calls you out on your false narrative a narcissist?!

Ascribing a few peoples wealth on a group of millions is the very definition of anti-semitism... I refrained from calling you out sooner to try to give you the benefit of the doubt...but the fact is the wealth on one person or a few people lending money hardly reflects on the entire Jewish people...it is a dangerous stereotype not based on actual facts...just a stereotype based on a fraction of a fraction of the population...

Your belief that jews arent poor or oppressed minorities without means throughtout history is patently false! Even if you can point to a few exceptions to the rules.
