Greg from Twilio here.

Living in America and not being a regular WhatsApp user, I had a similar reaction when I first heard about this. It wasn’t until I started talking to developers outside America -- especially in Brazil and India, areas where SMS is unreliable and expensive, and where WhatsApp is ubiquitous -- that I realized how powerful this product could actually be.

In the US, a major portion of it is that banks are limited in the data they use. For example, certain lenders highly restricted in how they can use zip code in any automatic algorithm. So they stick to manual processes (which are only profitable on large loan sizes) or very simple automated algorithms.

Non-bank smaller lenders often have many fewer regulations, allowing them to make more targeted automated algorithms, which means they can serve people banks can't.

It's simple. If it's a couple of years old and I haven't accessed it then it gets archived offline. Metadata about it is kept hot so I can track what I have. I might be a bit sloppy personally and have a limited amount of 4 year old stuff still internet connected but certainly not anything approaching 10 years and it's sure as hell not large archives of other people's data I have a duty to protect.

There is just no excuse for that, it serves no business purpose, ancient backups that have no recovery value should not be online if they are kept at all. This incident shows an appalling lack of care by reddit technical leadership. Obviously they are not systematically tracking and reviewing the data they keep. Given this incident I would not be the least bit surprised if they have copies of this and that all over the place with no awareness or oversight.
I'm pretty sure this is sample bias. The things we disagree with are much more highlighted in our consciousness; people with the opposite views to yours will see the opposite patterns on HN. There's even a name for this, as an HN user pointed out to me a while ago: "hostile media effect".

LINE is a bit weird. It's more than just a messenger, and if you venture into its bigger world you'll see an ad on some pages, but for things within the app. IAP would be premium stickers, games, and making international calls(google LINE OUT, it has decent rates).
I don't recall ever seeing a 3rd party ad. I use LINE strictly as a messenger - if you do this, you will never see an ad. I do get a random message from LINE USA every month or two letting me know of some event, but that's about it and I can live with it.

From Bastiat's classic candlemakers' petition against the sun:

We ask you to be so good as to pass a law requiring the closing of all windows, dormers, skylights, inside and outside shutters, curtains, casements, bull's-eyes, deadlights, and blinds — in short, all openings, holes, chinks, and fissures through which the light of the sun is wont to enter houses, to the detriment of the fair industries with which, we are proud to say, we have endowed the country, a country that cannot, without betraying ingratitude, abandon us today to so unequal a combat.

http://bastiat.org/en/petition.html
A few others have summarized via quote, but I think this one is the most effective:

"For it is the intention to degrade another person’s decision-making situation that is both the essence and the essential immorality of manipulation."

A cult leader may not be thinking that they're getting you to make a mistake, because they're only thinking of themselves. But they are trying to degrade your decision-making.

Conversely, persuasion could be considered an attempt to empower your decision making: with new information, new perspectives, lights in blindspots, education on fallacies, etc.

Doesn't feel quite right, but closer.
The most interesting thing about all this to me, other than the existence of splice(I really should finish The Linux Programming Interface), is that you need a pipe and two splice operations to get the data between other file types.. There must be some dirty implementation detail forcing this right? Right?!

Firstly, 5 degrees C is a much larger degree of warming than anyone is predicting for any of their worst case scenarios in the next 200 years. So 200 years from now, the problem will likely sound laughable.

But to answer your question anyway, yes I think that we could solve that problem today with current technology.

There are a couple reasons why. For 1, increasing temperatures also opens up unused land in cold places, that werent bring used before. Potentially, it might produce MORE arable land than it removes, once we get all the infrastructure up, of course.

And 2, it's not about "technology". There are tons of land that we "could" be using for food right now. We aren't using that land, because it is mountainous or has a bad climate, and would therefore produce lower yields.

But just because a mountainous area or a bad climate produces low yeilds doesn't mean that it would produce literally 0 food. It would produce SOME food, and the only reason we aren't using it now is because it is more expensive.

So the answer is the tons and tons of land that we aren't using for farming right now, but we could be using.

This may be an unpopular opinion: What happened to our capacity to just ignore and in our own circles mock whackos like Alex Jones? He's been a laughing stock here in Austin for years, and personally...I kind of enjoy watching his show on YouTube in a real, genuine and non-snarky way because his gesticulating, shock-jock radio style is just humorous (read: hilarious, I mean...gay frogs? Come on. That's funny.

Just the notion of it is funny. Not that there's anything wrong with two consenting adult frogs doing the dirty, but watching an evolved human being lose their mind over the sexual orientation, proclivities and preferences of amphibians gets me going every time. I don't want that to go away.

Unless I missed something-which I probably have-of him advocating extreme violence (physical or political) against groups of people, he's just a weird person with a platform and a weirder audience.
There's no reason to assume that they work to begin with; pretty much nothing ever does in education. But you can examine the failure of Head Start and the general trends in education costs vs. results to see that the room for improvement is largely used up.
I'd highly recommend Design It!: From Programmer to Software Architect by Michael Keeling. Plenty of practical examples (including a scenario enterprise application thay unfolds during the book), up to date in terms of technologies and approaches such as microservices architectures, cloud etc and just generally very readable. A good grounding to enterprise-class design. It also by nature educates you on leading teams through the design process.
Shoving ads down into your eyes should be reason enough.

- EU and Japan agreeing on free trade

- US, Japan, and Australia forming an alliance to invest in SE Asia.

- Xi Jing Ping becomes president for life

- Anbang, Wanda, HNA being taken over by Chinese government

- Manufacturers prompted by tariffs to move out of China

- Xi Jing Ping's Made in China 2025 plan to have everything made in China

- Malaysia, one of the one road one belt's strongest partner, pushes back on future Chinese projects, citing corruption.

If I had to guess, China's economic collapse is near

Awesome! I'll definitely have a look at it :)
> nor are these threads a good place for companies to reply, or for the community to discuss or work anything out.

This keeps being repeated as if it's somehow obvious or undisputed, but it's not, nor is the actual "good place" for such a discussion ever indicated.

Previously, you've also mentioned that the rule isn't designed to be strictly fair in some way, but, generally, better for HN overall. In what way? That is, by what mechanism is it better? What downside are you trying to avoid?

Where was this dicussed and/or decided? What's the reasoning behind it? Is the decision based on facts or conjecture?

Bezos in particular chooses to actively avoid making profit and hide profits to deliberately avoid paying tax. When Amazon makes a profit they still don't pay tax:

He's not doing it innocently, it's tactical. They lobby to keep the loopholes open. Although its not illegal, it could be considered unethical which I believe is the context of the original discussion.

This kind of sums it up:

He has a lot of power to do more for other humans on this planet and doesn't.

About me: I'm an engineering manager started as an engineer here at Uber, in Amsterdam. My first project was rewriting the Uber app (https://eng.uber.com/new-rider-app/) and the last interesting piece of code I committed was open sourcing the architecture behind it (https://github.com/uber/RIBs). I recently shared some things that I’ve learned about distributed systems, while building the payments systems at Uber, which was quite popular here, on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16852295)
Thanks for the passages from Arendt - very well selected. But we could do without the histrionics in your final paragraphs. I'm not sure there is anything that could have been done to prevent the world wars and totalitarianism of the 20th century. IMO, there were historical processes at work well beyond any individual's ability to stop. Not a very popular stance, I'm sure, but at least as plausible as your position.

Unfortunately you’ve been lied to.

Since 2015 Berlin taxis (note this doesn’t apply to the rest of Germany) are required by law to accept EC cards and at least 3 different credit card networks (which in practice means Visa, MasterCard and AmEx). If the reader is not operational they‘re comitting a misdemeanor. Best advice is to not pay and ask them call the police if disagree - usually the machines magically start working again.

Why are the drivers lying about it? The fee they‘re paying is relatively high (about 3%, but it‘s somewhat offset by a 1.50€ surcharge) but more commonly they‘re are either trying to avoid taxes and they‘re using someone’s taxi without holding a license themselves.
> It's simple. If it's a couple of years old and I haven't accessed it then it gets archived offline

How is that remotely simple? This is a medium size company. They have thousands or tens of thousands of storage devices mounted "online" in some way. How do you purport to audit every single one of them to determine when the "last access" time was for all the relevant data?

I suspect, as mentioned earlier, that your answer is going to involve a time machine to go back to 2007 and make sure reddit was doing things "right".
That's the point the parent is making. If the risk profile is as you say, that isn't a profitable segment for the banks. The question being asked is: why would the risk profile be any different for peer to peer lenders than it is for the banks? If it isn't profitable for the banks, and the risk profile isn't different for the peer to peer lenders, then it won't be profitable for them either.

I've yet to see anything standard Visual Studio does better than Netbeans or JetBrains tools (besides language specific things) but I am yet again willing to be enlightened if someone can explain it to me.

Background: I have months of experience with Visual Studio (more if you count back to school), months on IntelliJ and years on eclipse and Netbeans.
