Luckily, credit cards are really a second tier payment system in most of the EU.

Country-specific (debit) cards and the international Maestro payment system are the primary way to pay, along with cash. Apart from online shopping, of course. But even there, you usually have other viable payment options.

So it's probably not all that much chaos...
Not to defend racism, but you'll find that pretty much every race that's not 2D gets shit on when you're on 4chan. That's just part of being a moderator-lite website. The entire idea is you shouldn't bring your real life onto the site, you'll find people ready and able to tear down anything for incredibly inane reasons. Why is it that it's so prevalent is an excellent question; why do people resort to such strong racist/sexist/divisive opinions when they get to have a mask?

Oh yes, smiley because this is just so funny and amusing :) Hundreds of years or racism using EXACTLY that excuse - "It's only supposed to describe the bad ones" - and hey let's just smile about it :)

I'm done with this discussion. It's pretty clear that you've never actually thought about how this affects other people. There are many books on the subject of the n-word written by black men and women, I suggest you read a few.

It's not ambiguous. FPTP is the worst voting method there is. It elects partisan winners, causes vote splitting, spoilers, marginalizes good ideas, is inexpressive, makes you vote against your favorite ... That's pretty bad.

IoT Expert Sebastian Golasch: We Need More Regulations and Better Protection
It's not that simple. First, I'm not sure that anyone knows who would benefit 8 years out. There will be guesses, sure, but nobody's really going to know how it plays out until after the first election under the new system. Even that won't really tell us much, because everyone will adjust their tactics after the first experience.

Second, even if everybody knew who was going to be the loser from the changes 8 years in advance, that's not enough. That party would have to be strong enough under the current system to undo the changes. In practice, that would require controlling the House, the Senate, and the Presidency... unless both parties decide that they would lose power to third parties, and strike a deal.
Good idea. Though, I suspect the crows would beat the drones. I think it would be an arms-race of sorts. Crows constantly adapting to the drones changing tactics. I would love to see this play out.

It isn't down.

I work for a large e-commerce company and we're seeing ~10% decline rates, at most, on VISA cards only, and that's intermittent. Overall average decline rate is more like 1-3% when you factor in the intermittentness of it.

Still not great, but not PAYMENT CHAOS and not a CRASH OF THE VISA NETWORK.

That's fair and I'll concede that my terminology is incorrect. I suppose I'm really considering data for which the benefits of normalization are outweighed by the benefits that are offered by database management systems that do not fall under the standard relational model (some of those benefits being lack of schema definition/enforcement* and the availability of fully managed SaaS database management systems).

I'm also approaching this from the perspective of someone who spends more time in the ops world than development. I won't argue that NoSQL would ever "outperform" in the realms of data science and theory, but I question whether a business is going to see more positive impact from finding the perfect normal form from their data or having more flexibility in the ability to deliver new features in their application.

* I'm fully aware that this can be as much of a curse as a blessing depending on the data and the architecture of the application, which reenforces understanding the data and the workload as a significant requirement.
Actually, because you can't be retried for the same crime you are in a very meaningful way declared though not found innocent.

A hung trial is closer in meaning to not being found guilty or innocent.

Arguably, a semantic difference does apply in that you may still be found liable in a civil case. However, civil cases don't declare people guilty only liable.

"frequently deadlocked or missing in action,"

That's exactly what I see in the US right now. The country has no ability to address issues anymore, be it health care, immigration, infrastructure, housing or education. there is a lot of hot air and screaming and yelling but they can't find compromises and act on them anymore. See Obamacare. Instead of working together and accommodate each others wishes first one party went into full strike and now it has been effectively abandoned at the detriment of most (non-rich) citizens.

There isn't enough data to calculate numbers as soon as the visits come in. If I pay $3/month and visit your site, the amount you get depends on how many other site visits I accumulate during the month. If I visit 2 sites, you get $1.50. If I visit 20 sites, you get $0.15.

You also need to store browsing history to avoid scammers redirecting other users donations. This happens on similar platforms like Spotify. You register for Flattr and just run a script to constantly visit your site. With aggregated statistics, this shifts a bit of everyone's donations to you and can be extremely lucrative. With session history, you just get your own donation back, minus fees.
Actually, this is something that should be fixed in Privacy Badger. They can detect the URL parameter that flips ads from personalized to non-personalized (npa=1) and block accordingly.

Thats awesome man!. Congrats on finding a good mate.
Yes. It was a poorly made claim. I should have looked it up.
I meant LA/Long Beach which are actually two ports, side by side.

I also overstated the domain. I should have confined the claim to the country, not the world. And as others have pointed out, even at a national level, the claim is disputable.
Re homelessness in the US, someone recently shared this with me and it looks promising, though it seems to only be in Seattle at the moment:

Emacs is an application platform, just like how the browsers are today. It has a nice way for making UIs: it's all text, parts interactive, and you can bind keys, make hooks and thus create decent, customisable applications in it. Add to that the possibility to update code on the go and advices, and you have a very nice place to make yours completely.

I wish we had a popular OS where the main UI toolkit was similar, i.e. it provided many hooks, a universal REPL and a nice interactive debugger.
Black occasional user here who recently turned 30.

I used 4chan heavily when I was in college and early 20s. Back then most of the hate in /pol/ was directed at religion in general and scientology in particular and /r9k/ hadn't quite became a cesspool of incels. But as I got older I started to see the change. It became too "safe" (for lack of a better word) for people with social stigma to express their frustrations as anger and eventually misogyny and racism. I mostly stick to /tg/ and a few of the porn boards now but I'm hyper aware of who my peers might be. I know the simple answer is to "ignore the stuff you don't like" but that shit leaks everywhere and I still run across the occasional racist comment when I visit, even when I try to stick to the places that aren't literal cancer.

And because there are black nationalists, the experience of white users of the site and black users of the site are exactly the same?

I am simply saying that if you're black, you're affected by the discourse on 4chan much differently than you would be if you are white. A few black nationalists is a lot different than the sea of n-word use, and it affects folks much, much differently.

The first step of a vote should be to randomly select 11 people who will be given responsibility for selecting the best choice and given time and resources to take it seriously. By "seriously" I mean like for a US presidential election a paid year of studying.

It terms of feasibility it should be popular because everyone wins either an hour of their life back or wins a chance to really make a difference.

(Starting out a vote by randomly selecting a smaller set of participants is called "sortition")

Just yesterday I saw an ad for Ray's book in the print WSJ. Full page. It was filled with quotes from people you've heard of giving 1 line compliments of essentially no substance in particular.

Some of them are on this page:

https://www.principles.com/

The first one (was on the middle of the print ad page) was from Bill Gates who said

"Ray Dalio HAS PROVIDED ME WITH INVALUABLE GUIDANCE".

Ray was someone who has agree to Bill's Billionaire Pledge idea and no doubt they rub elbows. So honestly he isn't even referring to what is in the book and why would Bill Gates even need advice from Ray? I am sure he gave him private investment ideas ... great.

Most are really lame (with no creativity or specificity) like Mark Benioff who says

"PRINCIPLES BY RAY DALIO IS A MASTERPIECE IT'S A MUST READ!"

Actually all of the quotes are all caps.

Here is what I'd like to see. Not quotes from people who have made it who have (obviously) been asked to submit a quote (they all trade quotes with each other, right). But by real people who have read a book and can document something they learned and how it helped them in their life in a specific nature.

Also I always wonder why a billionaire seems to need to write a book like this to begin with.
> What is "evil" about working with the military or developing weapons?

I wouldn't use the word evil, but I feel it is inappropriate, since Google is a global company. We should be more precise, it is working with the military of one specific country, and developing weapons for one specific country (U.S.).

I am also an user of Google services, which also collect my personal data to provide me with more personalized experience. Ok. But what if, hypothetically, a war will break out, and army of my country will fight against U.S. army, which is helped by Google? It just doesn't feel right.
Well HTTP/2 is disabled in the Tor Browser (for now), and it has a positive impact on speed, so they do matter: https://bugs.torproject.org/14952
> A: If you have my book Principles, there’s one about this idea, Prioritize: While you can have virtually anything you want, you can’t have everything you want.

Sounds obvious but if you've ever worked for an organization or with an individual that prioritizes by buckets or labels ('Urgent', 'Extremely Urgent') versus a queue (a Trello column)†, then you've seen how non-obvious and pervasive this can be.

Agreed, a more detailed answer may have been more useful.

†Full disclosure: I have.
I'm trying to get that rule changed and working with several other organizations on this.
dalio’s best advice has nothing to do with financial investment. it’s organizational dynamics
I suspect there will simply be a direct pipe for logging to the government, where companies don't need to retain anything.
What exactly do you mean by "actively waiting"? Is your act of waiting actively in any way perceivable to anyone but yourself?
I think knowyourmeme can attribute quite a few memes to 4chan, and the traditional account is that both Anonymous and the alt-right was spawned there, so they certainly did contribute to internet culture.

The question is really how many lolcatz do you need to balance out one radicalized incel?
Flat Earth is kind of an interesting thought experiment if treated as such. It reveals just how much of our basic knowledge comes through intermediaries and how being able to trust other people is epistemologically extremely important. The decay of trust in a society harms more than politics and economics. It undermines fundamental epistemology and thus the ability to even think. A society that loses trust goes literally mad.
Don't they still need to do implement granular deletion to support user requests?
I think if you had a national legislature with "moderates" (as defined by California and Massachusetts) and "moderates" (as defined by Utah and Mississippi), you'd have a fairly wide range of political opinion represented. You wouldn't have the extremes of California represented, and you wouldn't have the extremes of Mississippi represented, but that may not be that much of a loss...
I'm not sure how it's supposed to work through captive portals. I guess if you can't get to the DNS-over-HTTPS page, use the system resolver? But then networks will just block the DNS-over-HTTPS page implicitly to force the system resolver when they need it.

Another thing this will break: corporate intranet sites. Suddenly you can't browse to your intranet site because Mozilla never checked the DNS server that your computer was assigned by the company.
People have a right to be offended and the offender has a right not to care. I certainly don't endorse 4chan culture but it's different from what you think.
Google isn't a GPA. Also having a low-latency anonymity system that isn't affected by a GPA is an open problem. The important thing here is that using Tor is better than not.
I'd be interested to hear about former mainstream editors from that time that are gone. Especially cross platform and Open Source ones :)
I greatly enjoyed "Barbarians Led by Bill Gates," which was written by an early Microsoft employee and contains a bunch of great stories about the tech and business of Microsoft.

Another one is "Dreaming in Code," which details the efforts of Mitch Kapor to create a team to build a flexible productivity app he had always dreamed of. It's a cautionary tale since the project ultimately fails.

"Crypto", by Steven Levy, details the invention of public key cryptography and the first round of the "crypto wars" about whether the federal government would require a backdoor.
Git based DynDNS Alternative
It's easy enough to say what's needed, but is it even possible to have that for languages with a potential life span of half a century or more?

Back in the early 2000's Camp Smalltalk folks actually came up with a way to have a "toothy" Smalltalk standard, by using homomorphisms. The idea was that to be an official Smalltalk, you didn't have to have exactly X, Y, and Z, but you needed to have something that could map 1-to-1 to X, Y, and Z. The intention was that "standard" Smalltalks would be able to be automatically translated between one another.

One of factors why such an exercise was plausible, is the extremely minimalist nature of Smalltalk. C++ is huge. The surface area for standard-breaking problems is partly decided by the size of the language, as well as its age and the number of "vendors." We cannot stop time. It's not certain that limiting "vendors" is all good. We can also choose to minimize the size of the language.
Google is very much on the verge of evil, but isn't there quite yet. Meaning that, as a daily paying user I'm at the stage of cognitive dissonance, but not quite at the point of walking.

But over the past few days I have given myself a long-term life-goal:

One day I will delete my Google Account.

I will try and make all decision in accordance with this. I already don't have a Google (or Apple) phone, I use my own domain name for email. But there are so many tiny little ways you could lock yourself in (e.g. social auth into a valuable website).

It's a big step to pull the plug and expunge Google from your life. But avoiding taking steps in the wrong direction at least buys you some time.
Didn't Clinton outspend Trump 2:1 and still lose?

And in the UK the Remain campaign massively outspent Leave and still lost (the government did a mailshot to every home in the country arguing for Remain and that alone cost more than the entire Leave campaign did .... and then they did lots more campaigning on top!).

The theory of the concern about Citizens United is that people can buy elections. That theory appears to be false.
I also feel this is the reason that 8ch spinoff went down in quality so quickly. The infinite boards concept caused users to split off when their views were challenged instead of being forced to defend them on the common board
OK. Then throw it away after that.
I just read and really enjoyed A Truck Full of Money by Tracy Kidder. It's about Paul English (founder of Kayak), both his life in general and his entrepreneurial adventures. I highly recommend it!
