The self-fulfilling-prophecy is the key point. Anything we label actually exists if (this doesn't always happen), applying the label causes some remarkable effect.

Beyond that, the question is whether labels reflect real meaning or value? For instance, does the label assist in predicting anything else?

We do not live in a post-racial society because people who get labeled "black" are also predictably statistically more likely to be found to suffer various consequences of racism (police harassment, systemic poverty…). Can we predict things about anyone labeled "white"? Probably, but maybe less so. So, if the predictive value of a "white" label is less statistically strong than that of a "black" label, then the former is a less valuable label to discuss (I don't know about the truth of the stats).

So, everything is fuzzy, but those correlations that are real statistically powerful ones are the places where labels are most useful and reflective of insights into the world.

The danger is that the self-fulfilling part interacts with the other-correlation part. So, if "black" people are statistically poorer and everything correlated with that, then applying the label could reinforce that stereotype etc. etc. tough situation… and lots of dynamics for any particular label and consideration.

Previously they only offered tiered billing (e.g.: gold, silver, bronze plans), further, the API for that was structured so you're billing for the next month.

This announcement suggests "usage-based", which is how AWS and Google Cloud bill you: for how much you used during the previous billing period.

> With all that work why not just link to gtk and build on that?

Because the packaging and distribution experience sucks. Seriously, that's all it is. Make it so that I can run one command and turn my GTK app (written in a language that has a decent package manager and library ecosystem i.e. not C or Vala) into single-file executables for all major platforms, and you'll take the marketshare back from Electron.
In my experience, you'll receive the card and temporary PIN separately in the mail for debit cards in the U.S.
>The reason the crooks don’t just use the debit cards when intercepting them via the mail is that they need the cards to be activated first, and presumably they lack the privileged information needed to do that.

I guess I'm a little confused as to how this works. In the case of my two card issuers "activating" the card means performing at least one fully online transaction at a chip-enabled merchant. (e.g: card present, chip used, pin entered.) If the card's chip were replaced in transit then I wouldn't be able to activate the new card. I'm guessing they are targeting card issuers that have a different activation scheme; but I'm a bit surprised that my extremely small midwestern bank is actually ahead of the curve on card security.
Securing AWS Access Keys
While I agree that the definition is been tainted, I think your interpretation of trolls as some kind of stealthy infiltrator is a little too narrow.

To recycle a post I made about 6 years ago attempting to address the same problem:

_________

1. Trolling always means the user is, in some way, not sincere or not honest in their interactions

1a. Either they do not believe what they are saying, or else they are saying it only because they have an ulterior motive/goal which is not obvious or apparent.

1b. No matter how moronic, argumentative, or misinformed a person might be, they cannot be a troll if they are trying to be honest and their motives are straightforward.

1c. As you leave the context of internet forums and discussions, the words "sincere" and "honest" get trickier to apply. For example, if you are playing a strategy game, the enemy is not "trolling" when they trick you about what kind of army they are building, because that kind of thing doesn't represent a breach of trust..

2. Trolling is always about triggering or goading victims into a reaction

2a. Causing injury or offense to another person is not--on its own--trolling. If a pickpocket steals your wallet and runs away, he did not "troll" you, because he doesn't care about how you react, he just wants to escape with your cash.

2b. If a fast-food employee secretly spits in your hamburger, they are not "trolling" unless they expected you to notice...Or unless they start dropping little hints afterwards to prompt you for a reaction. Major asshole, yes, troll, no.

2c. 99% of the time the troll is seeking a reaction with an emotional component. "Negative" reactions such as rage, frustration, or annoyance are especially common.

2d. Not-so-negative reactions can be used, but are less common. For example, an atheist troll might say encouraging things to make a fundamentalist-Christian community enter into a celebratory circle-jerk.

3. Trolling is not the same as humor, trolling can incorporate humor, but only in a "mean-spirited" way

3a. Many people seem to get confused by this, since jokes and humor often fall under both #1 and #2 above, being attempts to use insincere words to cause an emotional reaction.

3b. Trolls are never laughing "with" their victims. They are always laughing "at" their victims.

3c. Trolls may sometimes try to get you to laugh, but if they do it is only because there is some "larger joke" which you are the butt of.

P.S. When people troll badly, I prefer not to call them trolls. This is sort of like how someone who burned a meal isn't "a cook". Sure, they technically did the "act of cooking", but it seems like calling them "a cook" wrongly implies that they are good at it.

No, I would not advise against that. There is a reason I pay the (annoying) 1% + $99/$299 fee to Recurly.

The title of the article "News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier", but the HN headline is "Giving up reading news will make us happier".

The former says that not reading the news is individually beneficial, whereas latter implies that it is socially beneficial.

Those are distinct enough qualities that, when coupled with missing "(2013)", inclines me to believe that the current headline is too misleading.

It should be changed to reflect its source.
On a side note ...and I know I'll be sacrificing some points for this comment... I can't seem to get what everyone likes about Dan Carlin. I really enjoy history, and appreciate color commentary, but I've found the couple that I've heard didn't hold my interest very long. I started the Khans and one on the Romans, after hearing the non-stop praise on JRE. I really wanted to like it, which is why I was shocked that it seemed slow and light on the history despite being hours-long.

This is just, like, my opinion, man. I'm not trying to talk bad about it, I've just been curious if anyone else was disappointed or knows a better episode I should check out. I'm fascinated by Genghis Khan though, so I'm not sure how another topic could be more intriguing.
My daughter's 2016 12" Macbook's space bar only works on a hard key press. I have AppleCare on it, but taking it to either Apple Store in our area is a ridiculous hassle. Drive 30+ minutes, service will take a minimum of 2-3 hours (at least that's been my experience with our phones.) I feel that Apple used to have a competitive advantage in that I could bring my devices in, have them serviced in a reasonable amount of time while I wait (an hour?)

My dad had is IPhone 6+ battery replaced under the $29 plan. 6+ week wait for the battery. They call, the battery is in, dad shows up at 11:30am on a weekday, it'll be ready by 3pm. He shows up at 3, and it takes until nearly 4 o'clock to get someone to get the device back out to him. I'm reaching the point where I may as well go with Dell/Samsung because shipping a device in is guaranteed to be less of a hassle than the "Apple Store Genius Bar" experience.
I really wish I could get the 2015 MacBook Pro with USB-C ports and Touchbar MBP size.

Or you can continue to improve your actual product while Stripe takes care of the rote billing issues. That's essentially Stripe's whole pitch, you could do everything they do on your own, but it's expensive and not central to your business.

Many people in the pro audio world have moved to Windows over the last 5 years. Apogee, who I think Apple paid to only support OsX at one time, now makes Windows drivers and officially supports both platforms. MOTU has been cross platform since like 2006. Logic is really the only audio product that does not support Windows but only because Apple killed the pc version in like 2004. Logic pc was amazing and might even still run on Windows 10.
That’s disappointing. I thought the quality of Nautilus was better. I actually pay for a digital subscription.

I've actually used static bundles (including css/etc) for a lot of internal applications, both at home and at work.

Basically anywhere where reducing difficulty of deployment and asset management outweighs the valid concerns you pointed out. It's really, really handy in my view.

Of course, I've got no plans or desire to run some production documentation site on this. Yet, that problem domain is vastly different than internal tooling, OSS apps, etc.

Just think of a note web app you write. Do you want your users to have to manage css/template/image bundles just to use your note app? Why not just make the binary work with zero configuration/management? Plus, if you wanted - you can of course support both, allowing the user to override css files if they so desire, without having to recompile the binary/etc.
come on, you are engaging in pointless sophistry. Common ancestry doesn't mean that it involves 100% guaranteed common transfer of genes every time - it just means that common transfer of genes was quite likely to take place at least relatively often. In the case of Ashkenazi Jews, we know it did.

Which cloud provider? When I last ran the numbers, 1080 Ti cards paid for themselves pretty quickly vs Amazon's ML instances if you're using them regularly. Also, you never have to remember to shut off your instances.

I've never done ML professionally, though, so it may be a totally different use case that you're thinking about.

What are you basing that on? There is plenty of Windows now being used in audio. I use a MacBook Pro 2017 QuadCore, and still off loading audio work to a PC. The laptop uses the fan really heavily. Granted the i7 iMac is pretty damn good, but still you need up with lots of things hanging off it.

It also depends on the music you do and the plugins you run.

The best system I've seen is a well-tracked generous allocation of N days per year, with the option to buy or sell 10 days per year. I think this is the fairest way of doing things; if you don't care for vacation then you can increase your salary, and if you want more vacation you can pay to get it.

In practice the "unlimited vacation" seems hard to scale beyond a small team, though in that case it can be made to work. It relies on trust, which I'm skeptical would scale to hundreds of people.

That said while you're small I think teams can get away with it if management lead by example and actually take good chunks of vacation.

It's interesting that the article didn't mention anything about connectivity in Madagascar/Nosy Komba. I understand from another comment that these OLPC laptops have built-in mesh networking, but how do they update content on the laptops when new lessons are created? How do the kids get the music the article mentions onto their laptops? I briefly worked in this space and connectivity/updates to content, beyond price, was the main concern schools had when considering purchasing laptops for classroom use.

Had vacation limited to 28 days plus national holidays once and struggled to use it due to the demands of the work. But I had a right to arrange it, which in one case meant taking four day weeks for six months. Wouldn't have asked for the same thing if holiday was an "unlimited" privilege granted at the whim of line managers.

If you want actual unlimited holiday, become a contractor and get used to taking as much unpaid time out as you like, provided you can afford it.

But what happens if your js stack requires a feature that is only in chrome 65+ and someone elses stack relies on a feature that was depricated/removed in Chrome 60? Furthermore, does that mean if a user goes to task manager and ends the task of chrome, that your app would be killed too?
People are focusing a lot on invoicing but the real power here is that you can create multi-part and tiered billing schemes now. Imagine something like "$100 a month and $10 per user" -- that was not possible using Stripe subscriptions without your customer getting two invoices. Honestly, it was laughably bad.
>Are they suggesting that the city can be held liable when a pothole they _haven't_ fixed jacks up my car or its tires? I've not really heard of that working in practice.

I don't know about Portland or Oregon, since it's a state/city level issue I assume laws vary all over the USA there. However, in my state that is absolutely the case on state roads, not "liable" so much as "you can be reimbursed for documented damages up to some limit", and the process is a quite straightforward one that I've personally taken advantage of. A few years back I hit a fresh major pothole on a state highway (50 mph speed limit) and it destroyed tires on the passenger side, though at least I avoided serious damage to my shocks. I documented the tow, repair, and tire replacement cost, downloaded the state reimbursement form, and sent it all in. 3 weeks later the state sent me back a check for the $500-someodd it cost no questions asked.

I suspect a lot of people don't know about such laws but from a brief glance they do seem reasonably widespread around the country, so it's always worth checking. Maybe another one of those many things that can work quite well and easily in your favor if you know about it, but that most people don't even know to take advantage of in the first place. Certainly didn't come up in driver's ed, I only learned about it while talking shop with other people volunteering to help a campaign for state office.

Those are the labor rates paid to the contracting firm. So that includes their overhead and profits.
I also am confused. I've made sure that Stripe will not send any emails directly to my customers (disabling emails for successful payments, refunds) since I integrated with Stripe's webhooks for my own custom emails. Is there now some other option that I have to turn off for CC update emails?
If anyone from Stripe is here, question: We currently use Chargebee for all our subscription and Stripe to actually process the payments. With Chargebee V3 [1] we've just dropped in their js and then we get an overlay/pop-up for both subscription and then subscription management, like editing subscription, invoicing etc. Is this a replacement for Chargebee on the integration and coding side that we get without work? [2] We'd like to reduce the number of services we integrate with and if Stripe Billing provides this, then we would like to directly use it.

I grew up in a church, so I was raised to revere the Jewish people and honor their relationship. My step-father now is Jewish and I can never get over that he is related to the people I grew up hearing about. I've been told some Jewish people actually know which tribe of Isreal their people came from, but I never knew how true that is. If it is, I think it's incredible that they could trace their lineage back to Abraham.
Yikes, I've been using Stripe subscriptions happily for a few years and now I'm upset to see they're going to be charging a fee. It's unclear if the fee starts at $1MM total revenue or $1MM/year. $1MM/total would hurt a lot of the small lifestyle businesses for no gain in service--we already had subscriptions built in to the cost and we don't need invoicing or any of the other new-fangled stuff :(

Paypal has free recurring billing. Sure it's a pain to set up but once you've built it in it works pretty damn well with little to no maintenance. If you do even a smallish amount of business through them you can set up daily sweeps into your bank account to stave off the famous Paypal "random freezing of funds" nonsense.
