Because I am a pessimist and have a view that humanity will not survive that long. At least in the form where all of this shit will matter.

It's really going to depend on the bank and what their business model is.

eg, free consumer checking accounts have been heavily subsidized by interchange fees for years.

There are more dollars in interchange fees collected in the US every year than there are dollars of fraudulent transactions.

I think you'll find I never advocated for anything, but I am interested in discussing the topic in good faith and finding the real limits and practical implementations - not some fantasy absolutist purism. There doesn't need to be a conclusion from that conversation like you think there does.
What I'm thinking of is flushing the table to a secondary storage so that other services can query that data.

I think Storm/Flink have the concept of a "tick tuple", a message that comes every n-seconds to tell the worker to flush the table to some other store. I've been looking over the project, and I'm not sure how I would do this in Faust yet, as far as I understand the "Table" is partitioned, so you'd have to send a tick to every worker.

Very interesting project!
Cool! Yeah, someone else mentioned Ragel too. I'll have to check it out and see if it's also lazy (to prevent exponential blow-up for the DFA).

So page bloat is a real issue, not just "old man rants about good old days". A shame really because the rest of the page is pretty light wieght, 5.2kb for the content and 2.2 for the css.

Even worse is that the static preview of the monster gif is the second largest element.
Eh, I don't think so. When someone is standing in the street waving you into another lane (or not!), the alternative (other than just stopping there) is to ignore the person and drive into them. Most people seem to take the first option and trust the strange, non-uniformed person who risks their life to stand in traffic and direct it.
Not supporting those things and being vocal about it is entirely allowed in USA, but not allowed in China. I think your self-contradicting view would change pretty fast if you moved back to China and your social credit somehow took a hit and you couldn't get a job or use transportation as a result.

Amazon already accounts for the date of the review to some extent. If you hover over the overall rating for a product you can read:

"Amazon calculates a product’s star ratings using a machine learned model instead of a raw data average. The machine learned model takes into account factors including: the age of a review, helpfulness votes by customers and whether the reviews are from verified purchases."
I don't personally see that as justification for accepting training deaths here.

I'm not talking about stopping the development of driverless vehicles. I'm just telling you that your argument seems like a non sequitur to me.

There are training deaths in the military precisely because humans are being trained to do dangerous things. Why can't driverless vehicles be trained without killing people?

That's the thing you aren't actually answering.

>I think you're downplaying the actual costs they have quite a lot

Yeah right, that's why SciHub[1], which does it for free has been nearly impossible to maintain. The main difficulty is the cost of hosting, and not at all the mounting pressure from the litigation from the publishing industry.

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub
So while you are fiercely criticizing sites which apparently understand and leverage the reality of zero-marginal cost digital data, you assume that data caps are a necessity in a digital world.

Workers don't shovel extra connectivity into the towers when you go over your data cap. So why are you focusing on data flowing over the nearly-always-on connection you have through your data plan, rather than the bullshit terms you agreed to when you signed up for a data-capped plan in the first place?

Other than for jobs that directly involve driving, why wouldn't a state ID be equally valid for work? It would be very strange in the US to accept a drivers license as identification but not a state ID.

Ask HN: Do offshore workers have unfair advantage?
When a company makes a decision to hire software engineering team offshore, they usually use the argument "it's not about saving money any more -- it's about tapping into a talent pool, which is scarce in the USA".
Well, if this is the case, should the US government consider imposing some sort of a fee to make sure, that the cost of "talent" to the company is the same, regardless of where it comes from, to make it a fair game.
My above advice was /not/ for kids.

Things are very situational dependent. If you're reading this on hacker news I'm /assuming/ my intended audience is an adult, probably intelligent enough to not intentionally wind up somewhere bad, but has found themselves there anyway.

If that happened they might not have a (working) phone and might also not have anything else but their whits.

Kids, usually, have a parent or guardian that expects to know where they are, so search and rescue is a reasonable expectation and staying near where you were last known to be is the best policy.

Adults aren't likely to be missed for hours or days. While I am not an expert it is my logical belief that reaching a situation where help resources can be summoned is a better policy, and further, that the above steps are also the most logical expansion routes FOR a search zone.
Teleport 2.7 Released: Improved Performance, Compliance and SCP for Web UI
How to tell if an egg is fresh
In my mind, there are a few potential outcomes from this kind of a partnership

1. Waymo and other self driving cars become a bridge for transit, linking riders to major transit hubs and helping transit agencies become more efficient with traditionally expensive services like dial-a-ride and paratransit.

2. Waymo uses these kinds of partnerships to pull transit riders into their self driving cars and show them how great the experience is, then drops prices over time to divert riders from transit. This could kill traditional fixed route bus systems.

3. Another outcome could be a combo of the two as many large infastructure projects like subways and light rails will always be more efficient than transit. Bus systems could die and rail systems will thrive.

We shall see I suppose.

Can you say anything to help understand the differences between cockroach and Citus?
Not always, even the exact same card can run on different networks. For example:

1) You buy a product with your Visa debit card and enter your pin

2) You buy the same product, same card, but don't enter your pin

3) You buy the same product, same card, but your card won't swipe so the cashier manually enters your card number

Each of these scenarios will likely result in different fees to the merchant.
Seconding the MDR 7506. They're optimized pretty hard for sound isolation, fidelity, and cost. The only kind of awkward thing about them is that they have a 9.8 foot coiled-up cord that's designed to give you a good chunk of slack between your head and what you're plugged into. Office listening doesn't really need this slack and it can get in the way or get tangled up sometimes.

IMHO they're the best headphones at their price point. You can get better headphones, but you have to pay a lot for very small improvements. Cheaper headphones tend to be significantly worse.
Interesting that they peg "The Word" on McCartney. I'm pretty sure I remember a quote from Lennon where he used it as an example of how he (Lennon) liked to drive one note home. Lennon's sticking on one note is a point made in the article, using "Help" as their example. In "The Word" there are plenty of other notes, the song keeps on stressing the one note where he sings the word "word":

Say the word and you'll be free /
Say the word and be like me /
Say the word I'm thinking of /
Have you heard the word is love?

In the first three lines "word" is by far the most stressed note, and they are all the SAME note. In the last line the stress is on "heard", which rhymes, and is again the same note.

I think there's something wrong with their model where they aren't looking for repetitions of stressed notes, which would actually be totally consistent with their existing characterization of Lennon's melodies.
Was React Native a bad decision, ugly authentication has me ready to switch
I found that to authenticate using Javascript Server, it requires using implicit grants on the API.

This looks uncomfortably cheap, with the web browser opening to authenticate.

I dont think I can have something that looks so primitive for my app, even if it is additional security.

Considering doing full development for Web, android, and iphone. I already have my back end done.

React Native doesnt seem useful if I need to authenticate using web. Any ideas before I buy my first apple product ever and go full iOS?
They are not building what people actually want. A modern macbook pro with F keys and a physical escape key instead of a Touchbar and ports that actually get used in addition to USB-c (USB, HDMI, maybe a memory card reader). They are so out of touch it's a joke. I'm not sure how they are managing to make each iteration of the Macbook Pro worse except for the actual specs.
> It's like the difference being banned from a city vs being banned from shitposting on the bulletin board in a Starbucks.

The problem is that Facebook isn't the size of a Starbucks. It isn't even the size of a city. It's the size of a hundred cities. There are more users of Facebook than citizens of the United States.

It's like saying the US Congress can't impose censorship because you can just go to the EU and speak there instead. And if the EU censors the same things then you can just start your own country on a ship in international waters.

And who is going to come to your ship, or even find out about it, if linking to it is prohibited in the places where people actually congregate?

There is no town square equivalent where people have to walk past and can see you on their way to Facebook.
I randomly jumped into this post and do not have the context or the experience to know what CBT stands for. What is it?
Interesting solution! Aside from the glue component selection and placement, how does this stack up against an autorouter, like you find in a package like altium?

One aspect of board layout is maintenance/testing, so like test points and such and another is fit/finish for integration into a product (switch and button placement, etc). Does the system allow some guidance around placements?

It's not pure 2PC, it's 2PC on a subset of shards (layered on top of Raft). If it's true that most workloads are primary-key-based or touches a small amount of shards, it's fine.
> The effects of extinction perhaps seem more pronounced with some species, rather than others.

I agree, and hence why I essentially say we should target our efforts towards preserving species that we know are a linchpin for a particular ecology, and whose replacement is problematic.

Currently the discussion isn't nuanced, you can either be for "saving the planet" or "for profit". I'd like to believe that you can be for both.

Though I urge caution, I also would allow for experimentation with ecology.

I’d be more interested in “this is faster than X” claims if it does a fair comparison - pushing the implementation out of the header. Otherwise (depending on operation) inlining ends up significantly throwing off performance numbers.

That said it’s much easier to make faster than libN string libraries if you don’t have abi constraints to deal with.

This uses any value struct to hold much of its metadata which causes all sorts of abi issues - basically, if your own app uses this it can’t expose it to plugins or anything, otherwise any update could break existing compiled plugins.
That hotel is still doing cash accounting though. If there isn't much at the front desk, how about the bar? The restaurant?

A business that has any type of daily cash accounting is still going to need to balance the register at the end of the day, reestablish change to open with, have arrangements for transport, &c. Bad employees can still pocket a tenner on occasion.

Sure, some smaller places with barely any cash probably just lock the drawer and call it a night.

I can't find the figures now, but estimates of cost of cash handling is far far lower than the 2-3% of swipe fees.
> And sadly, as long as there's a market, there will be products.

Moreover, if there is no market, one will soon be created to fill the void and make some money of any 'underused' resource until it saturates.

> I often want to assemble low bandwidth low power (solar powered even) router nodes. Something you could drop in a field and have a mile radius range of wifi (some people on youtube got more than that with a tiny esp8266 IC). The rest would be some mesh network topology. Just enough for simple data, emergency, maybe compressed voice you know.

People will laugh at you. If I understood correctly, 4G (not DOS ;-) ) has become a basic human right, and no-one should be deprived of it for a 10 minutes ride, be it in an underground 20 metres below surface or in a country bus in the middle of nowhere. I mean, megabit 3G is already almost everywhere in the country, but it seems it is not enough for a decent human life.

This is avoiding and completely missing the point of my question. I was not asking whether card fees can vary based on how the card is processed. I was asking to precisely what extent they can vary based on the card itself. Please re-read my entire question above.
I'm not defending Tesla or Uber, they're the ones that have killed people, and I think they both were (and in Tesla's case still are) behaving irresponsibly.

Cruise and Waymo have both done tons of closed course testing, that's where they validate their respective systems against mission critical stuff like knowing when to slam on the brakes. But eventually they've got to go out into the real world and learn to deal with real traffic on real roads. I wish I could tell you the risk was zero, but it isn't and never will be.

There are already rideshare-public authority partnerships for transit, in part to address the fact that fixed route bus systems aren't great in suburban areas.

It makes sense for SDCs for much the same reasonds. And the focus on first and last-mile makes it more complementary to existing transit than some partnerships.
A driver's license is one of the most ubiquitous forms of government issued photo identification in the United States. There is no national ID and most people have a driver's license in lieu of any state identification card. It might be equally valid, but is quite less common in practice.
In practice your assumption doesn't pan out. Humans follow the directions of almost anyone standing in the street waving their hands. For example, a pedestrian in the crosswalk may stop and wave a car on ahead of them. The car is supposed to stop and wait for them to exit the crosswalk.

By waving their hands, the pedestrian can actually be held accountable if this results in an accident.
Is that what people want, or is that what you want? I couldn't care less about a row of keys I never use, so I'm not sure you speak for everyone when you say what "people" actually want.

What this person wants is a home, end, forward delete, pgup and pgdn key on the keyboard, which the touchbar lets me have. Funny how what "the people" want manages to line up exactly with your expectations and doesn't match mine at all.

> Cruise and Waymo have both done tons of closed course testing, that's where they validate their respective systems against mission critical stuff. But eventually they've got to go out into the real world and learn to deal with real traffic on real roads.

Waymo has been doing that longer than anyone, though.
Strictly speaking, most individual business isn't needed.

If the NY Times folds tomorrow due to bankruptcy, there are dozens of other papers where we can get the news. Their reporting is good, and I choose them over their competitors but losing them wouldn't be the end of news as we know it.

That's the case with most businesses---the marketing and sales are only needed to compete, whereas without them the product would still exist for consumers.
Which is a shame really because the amount of great boutique developers on the Mac is one of the great pros of the Mac ecosystem.
Imagine if you ran a $1B/year business with 10% profit margins and 20% of your customers only have one credit card, a Visa.

Profit before Visa is $100M, profit after Visa is $80M.
Well, to my ear that sounds like "People will still die in car wrecks and I don't even have data substantiating my assumption that fewer people will die than is true currently, but I somehow feel that if robotic vehicles are killing people, that's automatically better than if a human is behind the wheel."
> 1. PCB's and the components used require a lot of natural resources. In my opinion, we should be reducing the waste and harvesting the resources from PCB's that are thrown away every day.

This is a good point that I'm not seeing a way to interpret as an argument against making PCB design easier.

> 3. I'm so tired of seeing "AI" as a marketable term. A bunch of code that is written by humans to do something is not AI, it's just software.

Every job I've applied for has asked for a valid government ID, of which a driver's license is but an example. I have friends without a drivers license show their passport or green card.

> Erm... The old drivers stopped working with this particular device?

Samsung simply stopped producing Linux drivers. Indeed if you look at https://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/index.html there is more than a few years gap here. Also, if you look at the newer drivers support page now that some models have maximum support versions https://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/supported.html where I persume you are ... if you update -- and "obviously" you can't not to update because eventually some API breaks the driver. My printer broke in 2010 with an Ubuntu update.

> Very few companies can write sensibly working software that would run under Linux.

Which is the problem itself. You got it in one.

> You get pretty much the same under Windows, though you don't see it as clearly.

It's possible I do not see it clearly but the only Bluetooth problem I had was the April Creators update mysteriously changing Chrome to use the internal soundcard which was solved in two clicks in Eartrumpet (which was new to me -- finding that software took a little time). I have yet to meet any of the problems listed: every wifi and VPN I have yet seen have Windows support (and IT is so much more prepared to help if there is a problem), the Bluetooth stack actually didn't break, nor have Windows upgrades haven't broken my MFC yet (although I guess I need to wait -- but how long? I have seen people install HP LaserJet 4 on Win 10 with some struggle). And as I mentioned, my Thunderbolt eGPU just works. Are you saying it would just work on Linux...? Come now.

I love Linux to pieces and I run it on servers and use the userspace components still but I am writing to warn people: it is still not the year of Linux on desktop and probably never will be. Or, if you so prefer, it finally is, it's just Linux on the Windows desktop.
that seems to be the situation with Uber killing that woman. If i remember correctly they said that the emergency braking was disabled and they hoped on the driver taking over (and the driver was probably asleep or something like this as the woman had been for several seconds crossing those 2 lanes while being highlighted by the car's headlights - the video that Uber published and which let them off so easy obviously comes from a low sensitivity configured camera and doesn't correctly reflect the normal sensitivity of human eyes and what humans see in car headlight's field)
That doesn't mean you'll "loose [sic] out" on employment because you don't have a driver's license. You can just substitute it with something else.
Yes, but that is not an argument for why you should get a DL instead of state ID.
