In the absence of a quality local bank or credit union, I can't speak highly enough about e-banking at places like Fidelity or Schwab. They're huge banks but you can open new accounts online in no time. You can use literally any ATM in the country and they'll pay whatever fees you are charged. No minimum balance, bill pay, basically every feature you should be able to expect from a bank these days.

The ONLY downside I've thought of, even though I haven't encountered it yet, is if you need to get a lot of cash you might have to jump through hoops. But you can get at least $200 from most ATMs so that's only a problem if you're going to pay cash for a car or something.

I have a suspicion that they (and other banks) may employ some 'secret shopper' types. If they don't pester you with annoying stupid unrelated questions, they will get penalized or fired. Such is "retail" in the US.
This has to be satire, right?

U.S. Said to Investigate AT&T and Verizon Over Wireless Collusion Claim
My point was to compare to something not controlled by people who for their own financial gain, push the idea that a phone is the only way to communicate.

Xmpp, iMessage, etc are just data over an ip network - no inherit tie to a mobile phone and its network.

So if I'm out of cell coverage, or my phone is flat, or whatever - I can get iMessage/XMPP/whatever messages on my laptop or iPad or whatever other device I have.

That is how having a laptop but not my phone makes a real difference.
European landline operators ARE the networks.
There is something legally wrong in multiple EU member states: Collecting biometric data without user consent was ruled illegal.

> Facebook has introduced this [facial recognition] function in Europe without informing users and acquiring the necessary consent. Unambiguous consent from those affected is required by the European as well as the German data protection law.

> For users whose biometric facial characteristics have already been incorporated into the database operated by Facebook, this consent needs to be acquired retrospectively.

> The preliminaries for legal action are now being prepared,

-- The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, 2011.

As for the current bandwagon of hate, this is basic news cycle stuff, and it would be hard to single out anyone. In my opinion, Facebook deserves this extra negative scrutiny, and has to make up for this lost trust with better privacy controls and privacy-friendly PR pushes. This latest breach of the EU data protection laws is not helping users and public perception (but probably helps Facebook gather data while it can).
>These huge banks have simply become way too big, and it serves no one's interest but their own. They have zero incentive to provide actual customer service anymore. There needs to be a massive restructuring of our system to allow smaller banks to thrive and provide actual competition.

Thats not the plan though. Now that they have IMF'd almost the whole world, they have no one elses pie to take from... so they are turning inwards. In order to do this, they are murdering and executing [1](American Psycho reference, but lots of literal truth there too) their way to the top, but not just in banking... in all industries. (bayer-monsanto being a good example).

What we need is anti-trust/anti-monopoly laws to actually be enforced... oh wait... the same bankers that need regulating basically own congress and many more. I'll never forget looking up my podunk Texas congressmans public financing and wonder why so many NY banks were donating to him. Until we find a way to start fixing congress (the closest to the people of the 3 branches) this will just happen again and again.

Sorry was thinking up in Canada only Rogers maintains 2G still.
Upon rereading, it seems to me that they're mostly looking to do this type of increased accuracy when an Uber is parked somewhere waiting for their rider, and you want to be able to show the rider exactly where he is parked, rather than something that is meant to be used while in motion or anything like that.

When you limit the scope like that, I think most of my concerns go away. Very cool work here.
And 99.999% of Facebook users won't care. Most of those that do, can't leave Facebook because of "events." The rest of us will keep preaching to each other about how we're in a better place having never been of Facebook or having deleted our accounts.
I think you're implying that the GDPR is a money-grabbing scheme that the poor, cash-strapped EU pulled to fill its coffers with much needed cash.

Well, the EU is the second largest world economy, by GDP. Maybe some destitute developing world nation might need such a trick to bring in some cash. The EU? Not so much.

>> Do you think that is a coincidence?

What is certainly an amazing coincidence is that this kind of legislation was passed in the EU and not, say, the US, China, or Saudi Arabia, or some other nation with their impeccable human rights record. It's almost as if the EU is actually trying to protect the rights of its citizens.

Really cool article. Such a pity, tho, I found the earlier names way better.
Also want to point out that stacking work on an unreviewed branch isn't a terrific idea, either.

I've been asked to review PRs that totally missed the mark, only to find out that there were already a dozen more branches relying on that PR's approval. I'm sure the context is different here, but that's an easy way to set yourself up for redoing weeks of work if you didn't get it right the first time.
With places that have shutdown 2G, there is no "voice only" network anymore since 3G is required for the voice traffic.
Having done both, it's much roomier on the Amtrak dining cars, you get better food, and they will bring it to your cabin if you want that, as I recall, so it's not like you're forced to eat in the dining car. I like Germany's night trains a lot, but for Amtrak this is clearly a downgrade.
It's their standard ONE plan: $70/month for 1 line, but much cheaper with more (for four lines its $160/month).

Tmobile does have some prepaid plans and older grandfathered plans, but the ONE plan is pretty good, especially at the multi-line rates.
> Waving a 2-inch-thick printed version of the social network’s user agreement, Senator Lindsey Graham quoted a line from the first page, then intoned: “I’m a lawyer, and I have no idea what that means.”

Anyone have a link to that document? Looking for the terms I'm supposed to agree to if I want to use Facebook as an ordinary user, I find this page, which purports to link to everything [1]. Looking at the "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities", the "Data Policy", and the "Community Standards", I don't see anything that would take 2 inches when printed. Those seem to be most of what would be necessary for an ordinary user to agree to.

There are several links to other terms and policies and such on the left, but those are mostly for things like developers, payment handling, and other things that that an ordinary user would not need to agree to.

Privacy as an Afterthought: ICANN's Response to the GDPR
Even as someone who had abysmal interactions with mainstream banks when getting my mortgage, I don't think your response is charitable to the parent commentor, even if you don't think it's worth your time to provide feedback to a business entity, which is well within your rights.

If I as a dev for a large company see people online complaining about my product, I'd _probably_ tell them, in good faith, that if I had no direct touch to help, what channels they MIGHT be able to touch to have an impact, even if it's only post-factum.

What would you rather the business do? Have 0 receptivity to any channel of communication? Yeah, ticketing and support often sucks. But I see no reason to bite the hand that's trying to help you, both when they're going out of their way to try and give information that might move the needle, and when I'm hard pressed to give any more actionable advice. (at least for parallels within my space.)

I certainly would have liked to know I had _any_ recompense after BoA left me high and dry on some last minute mortgage detail and my agent went AWOL right before signing, even if it wasn't going to necessarily help my situation.

I can lead a regular if culinarily boring life if I simply avoid these ingredients. But anything can hide in this phrase "Natural Flavors."

The only way I can know if I am allergic to something is to try it, and even then there are threshold issues and changing ingredients. Just because something is made a certain way today, doesn't mean it will be tomorrow.

I've had occasional issues with Apple Maps, sure.

I have no clue if Google maps have the same problems, because what I would have to give up to use it doesn't make it worth it, no matter how much better it may hypothetically be, and it wouldn't be worth it, even if Apple Maps were as bad as the Google maps users all claim it to be.

Also, not bing. DDG, of course.

Hah, yeah right. If it makes you feel better, sure.
Right place, right time. My career path has been a little weird. I got into the aerospace industry because after leaving the Army in 2006, I had a 4-year old CS degree and no work experience - but I did have a clearance, so I was able to land an entry-level SW job with a small aerospace company working on 3D visualization stuff. After a couple of years with that employer, I was hired on with a huge aerospace company working on a large satellite program.

As to the how, consider that if finding good software engineers is hard (debatable), finding them with clearances is even harder (definitely true). The interviews for defense and aerospace jobs are easy compared to your standard technical interview at Netflix, Google, et al. They really don't want to risk screening folks out for trifling things like "competence" when they have billets to fill (because they're selling man-hours of labor to the govt, even a mediocre engineer can be profitable).

But you should also know, that while working on a large satellite program may sound cool, the maddeningly slow and byzantine bureaucratic development processes (I'm currently on a waterfall-driven project) inherit in such programs will suck every last ounce of joy out of your working life. So, there's that...

Driving in shifts for 31h is pretty awful. It’s really an apples to oranges comparison. That’s really a 3 day trip, especially if you’re targeting hotel check in times.

The train is generally pleasant and relaxing. I used to do Albany->NYC a few times a month. It takes less time in that case, but I always looked forward to that trip to work, reflect or just observe.

The problem with the trains is inconsistent times. They share track with freight in many routes and there is little rhyme or reason for many trips. The error bar for arrival for a Boston->Buffalo trip is 3-4 hours, easy.

No.

The correct answer is to close your account and move to a bank that actually has an interest in providing customer service. (Credit unions are great.)

I have zero interest in some company's CRM, how they apportion money to employees, or anything else of that sort. If a company cannot get meaningful feedback about customers' reaction to their service, well, that sounds like they have a serious business problem to solve, and expecting me to fix it for free is, frankly, insulting and doomed to failure[1].

My rule in life with this sort of thing is simple. Don't do business with assholes.

What you're describing is the implementation details of how AOP works.

I've interacted a lot with the larger banks and been flabbergasted at how they view the world.

Banks, big and small, regard the consumer operations of the bank as a cost center, which they should do as little as possible to maintain. In fact - I believe the only reason that they even have public facing consumer branches is largely to get access to capital as cheaply as possible. Every proposed improvement to the consumer experience is viewed in the light of "how is this going to make the bank more money." If a direct line from improving the customer experience to make more money can't be drawn, the bank won't do it.

Long gone are the days where banks provided a core function to the vast majority of society. They just exist to enrich themselves.

I'm not so sure.

In my experience, the learnings on both sides of the coin filter back to the other in surprising and often highly insightful ways.
How to make an executive poop their pants, by Jeff Bezos

A way to purchase pre-cut lumber in small quantities.

For instance, I need an 18-24" piece of 2x4 to prop up an air conditioner, and a couple 30" lengths of 1x10 to convert steam radiators into makeshift shelving. Oh, and four 36" lengths of 1/4" dowel to sew into the bottoms of curtains.

Obstacles to my acquiring these:

1) The small corner hardware stores I can get to on foot or by transit don't sell lumber, period.

2) I don't own a car, and hate driving (I do have a license, but many of my neighbors don't, and I can get about my daily life 99% of the time without one).

3) OK, let's say I take a cab to a big box store. They'll only sell me full 8' lengths of lumber.

4) Fine, I rent a car or get a cab home, or maybe Home Depot has finally worked out that New Yorkers will buy more if they provide delivery even for small sales.

5) At this point, I've already spent $100 on taxis or more on car rental just getting to and from the store.

6) I finally get the lumber home, and I can't cut it. I live in a New York apartment, with no outdoor space for projects like this. I own a screw gun because it's useful for assembling Ikea furniture and attaching stuff to walls, but for obvious reasons I don't own a hand saw let alone a circular saw or table saw. Neither do any of my neighbors. And even if I had a saw, no way it's getting anywhere near my apartment's hardwood floors (do you have any idea how much the security deposit was?)

7) By some miracle, I find someone to lend me a saw AND a space to cut the lumber in (where??) -- I have nowhere to put the scraps and no sensible way to get rid of them.
What if he reads his own comment? That would be covered by the admonition to read literally anything.

But my troll aside, I agree. If losing the data would cause you harm or make you sad (losing photos of your kids for example), you definitely need to have multiple backups in multiple locations, ideally controlled by different parties (so one bug on your cloud provider's side doesn't wipe out both of the copies they store for you). I've been burned by this with personal data a few times. The stakes get even higher when you are responsible for someone else's data. If they don't want to pay for the extra storage, make sure they understand the risk involved.
Turkey Targeting Greece – Again
For shorter routes, it's the inverse; I go from STL to CHI (and back) often, and it's $30-40 for a pretty enjoyable short trip; 5-6 hours (compared to driving (4-5 hours), or flying (1 hour, but 2.5+ with airport time and stress included). Flights are usually $90+.
I think these types of tactics should be viewed as evidence that Prime isn't worth it. If it provided good value for the money, customers would be more than willing to sign up voluntarily.

I had been a Prime subscriber ever since a few months after it started. Several years ago Amazon became a lot less competitive on price for low priced items if you didn't actually need it in two days (essentially they charge for shipping by charging higher prices). So I used Amazon a lot less and less, except for the times I actually needed something in two days. I finally cancelled when 10 out of the last 10 items I ordered showed up late. So, I basically paid more for an item, paid for a Prime subscription, and got no benefit.

Amazon is still fairly competitive on price for more expensive items. But those qualify for free shipping anyway.
Seems like 'smart' is unrelated to the ability to give or receive feedback, or maybe even inversely correlated.

Another aspect of this:

Say person B is smarter than person A, and A realizes this. Now person C, who is smarter than person B, joins the team. A can usually tell that C is smarter than B, but he can't realistically judge by how much because both B and C are playing above his level.

A consequence of this that when C joins the team, the working relationship with B will usually be established without issues. But A is likely to feel his own status is being disrupted because his uncertain perception of the relationship between B and C is going to challenge the status quo he had worked out with B. When A observes spirited discussion between B and C, A may have trouble recognizing healthy debate on the merits and may erroneously perceive it as some type of interpersonal conflict.
