ticketswap is a start. Most ethical ticket platform I've ever experienced and for multiple transactions.
Granted it's for reselling but to me it's the same because approx 4 out of 5 times, I have waited to buy tickets expecting to be able to buy them reasonably priced there and succeeded. I like to think of it as other fans selling them there but I could be wrong. Just seems like people trying to recoup the face value +/- 20%. Never seen more of a markup than that.
Managing a Job, a Family, and a Side Hustle
There is an interesting, well-funded startup tackling this problem: https://www.earnin.com/

I am not affiliated with this company, just like their idea a lot for all the reasons mentioned in your post. Obviously they have to make money and presumably take some cut or added fee for providing the service of getting you paid before your employer does it, but at least they shorten the time between work done and getting paid.
I think you're interpreting that very uncharitably.

An exhilarated rider, just learning she surpassed her own goal by a significant margin and who, I would wager, knows the previous record-holder, can say something like that without it being remotely cruel.

Maybe she is a sports jerk. I'd wager good money it was meant, and taken, in good humor.
I get paid twice a month and I wouldn't care if I got paid only once a month considering all my bills are monthly or longer. Credit cards, rent, and internet are monthly. Utilities are monthly or biannually. I can't think of any other bill than that.
Awesome! Glad you got it sorted. Those two things are always footguns...
Wouldn’t a better solution be to flush some small part of the page immediately (maybe just the html open tag) so that they get this immediate page load, and then flush out the rest of the page when it’s ready? That way no timing is leaked, but there’s still only one page load?
I think there's value in at least distributing the data that's collected. I may not like that the analytics provider has my data, but it seems like a lesser evil if that provider isn't also the world's largest ad company and they aren't using it to build profiles behind the scenes to track my every move across a significant part of the Internet.

Given the choice between a lot of data about me given to a small provider and somewhat less data about me given to Google, I'd generally choose the former.
I disagree. In an ideal Dapp, pricing is determined by the open market or with a strong oracle - nothing novel here. If the contract was audited and deemed secure, then a pricing error shouldn't be possible. Payouts would be automatic and instant, as determined by the contract or set of contracts. Therefore, even if there was an error, the platform itself couldn't refuse to pay out a bet because they don't have a say in it. Can't be evil > Don't be evil.

Edit: to add, if users saw unresolved bugs in the platform, the contract could be forked and improved or users could just leave. If code is law, and that code is deployed publicly for everyone to see, then nothing is left to the discretion of "owners" because the "owners" don't have discretion to begin with.
In this case the sql function can not escape the id. If you were to use a tagged template, it could.
Electric Scooter Company Uses Technology to Go After Dangerous Riders
Unfortunately, Hawking passed away in March of this year. :(
I worked remotely at a small company of 10 people. The founder who preferred to keep the team small was one of the most admirable people I’ve ever met. Besides having a best friend type of attitude he did an amazing job of motivating people to do their best without you ever realizing it. He was kind, caring, thoughtful and super detailed. He had a go getter type of attitude and just got shit done without delay or procrastination which motivated the hell out of me. I never knew a person could be so kick ass until I worked there. It makes sense though - his success and success of the company is entirely his doing. It was clear to me that no matter what industry he worked in, he’d make a business out of it and be successful. I left the company for higher paying position but I always think back to the great times I had at this company and how I was constantly challenged, pushed to be my better self without ever feeling direct pressure. I admire this person greatly to this day.
That’s a beautiful stoic+ thought

I've never written a bug in a system designed to earn me money and then denied responsibility for the consequences of the bug, no.

That is, my argument is about how you decide responsibility, not about technical excellence.
Similar service????

Simple Analytics is a real service. Blockmetry is a 90's-looking page with a "contact sales" button and not even a demo (nevermind a real product).
With lots of nice fixes.
What if the situation were reversed, and I bought a wager only due to the fat fingering of my calculator, or I mistook one team for another or just had a brain fart.

Wouldn't it then be reasonable for them to give a refund?
I'm sure it is already a high priority, but it is a system built by humans, and it will always have mistakes. What if they were being forced to pay out 82 million instead of thousand? What about 82 billion?

There should be clear cut laws surrounding clear errors, like there are in most places, and ones like this should not be forced to pay out.
How to Tell Us a Secret
I get (and, in fact, like it quick much) the idea behind your project, but people are really afraid about their privacy - especially these days. First thing would be adding some information, e.g. that the recording won't be stored anywhere and that it will not be shared. This definitely won't make all of the people trust you, but some will surely feel more comfortable seeing this kind of statement.

I don't think that it breaks quantum mechanics. It shows once again that the results of the double slit experiments are still not completely understood. That idea in the article only means that the Copenhagen Interpretation is being challenged. It doesn't make all the discoveries in particle physics collapse.
my company forces vendors to net 60, and if they argue with it, they will threaten net 90 and say that is the industry norm and they are being nice at net 60.
Is that wind directly in the opposite direction? If so I'd expect them to be blown immediately back into the plane.

Apples and oranges.
Thinkpad E560 owner here, bought it a couple of years ago for less than $500 on newegg, installed ubuntu on it and that's it. Dropped it a few times, and work like 8-10 hours a day on it, never had any issue. Solid.
I agree that for some, once one has enough cash sitting around it just becomes a sea of cash that barely changes order of magnitude.

However, for many of America's working class they are < 1 paycheck from bankruptcy. I speculate that for many of them getting the "liquidity" of getting paid daily would stop some of them from missing payments.
Yeah this was my first thought too. My sincere hope is that the law's response is "Pay up, this is how your business works. If this kind of thing is going to be a problem for you, buy insurance for it."
This is pretty useful for saving 2 characters in codegolfing challenges.

For example:

becomes

That Opal issue is... mind blowing.
And if that bug cost his company say, $80,000 for some reason, there's plenty of instances where his company just has to eat that.

I've literally made tens of thousands of dollars in mistakes over my careers (try not to make the same one twice) and 9 out of 10 times the company would go "shit dude, don't ever let that happen again!"

I run payroll, and everytime I do it's a potential mistake waiting to be made. We use Gusto, which is about as good as it gets for online / easy payroll, and there are still occasional issues. Payroll doesn't just pay an employee, it also handles proper withholding for each employee with an ever changing system that is tied to a huge swath of federal/state/city tax rules, which includes how often you have to pay the locality, usually based on how big payroll was in that locality. Basically, doing this everyday, having it trickle in, seems like a nightmare. I think for it to work properly the end to end system needs to be reworked, and I don't think the potential benefits outweigh the risk and work required.
European grocery stores are so wonderful. I love how everyone's just stopping by to pick up a few things for dinner and tomorrow's breakfast, not pushing their yacht of a shopping cart around. The produce is always super fresh and cheap compared to American, and I always like getting a nice carbonated mineral water.
Enumerating all badness is an impossible task. Ask anyone who's worked on any security product. You have 3 options.

1. Try anyway. End result - you are overrun by rules-lawyer trolls.

2. Try to enumerate good things instead. End result - people get too stifled and go elsewhere.

3. Be somewhat vague and depend on the community's ongoing evolution of acceptable behavior. End results can vary.

Option 3 is the only one without a guaranteed bad outcome, so it's the one you have to take. In many cases, it's even neared the ideal of kicking out rules lawyers and trolls while encouraging abrasive but well-meaning people to take some time to learn to communicate better.

In fact, that's what Linus is doing. Seems like the policy is already working correctly.

Free speech is about being able to say whatever you want to whoever you want whenever you want in the same way that free markets are about having no regulations. It's a cute idea that fails in the presence of bad actors who have more power than those they choose to attack. Maximizing freedom of speech in a community means designing regulations to curb abuses. And yes, those policies are going to be relative to the community's ever-changing standards. It's much better to acknowledge that than pretend a set of rules can ever be complete.
Why is Java, a byte-compiled statically-typed language, "bloated", while R it SQL, interpreted scripting languages, not? I find the point hard to follow. Execution of an R script will go through many more "layers", downloaded from many different sources, and implemented in different languages.
Does anyone know if font rendering on Linux respects the OS hinting settings? I've long wanted to create GUI apps in Java, but stayed away because the font rendering was what I consider ugly.

EDIT: Why on earth would someone downvote this?
I'm glad that you're covered. But have you ever driven over to the seedier part of town and seen most of the businesses revolve around money lending? "Money Tree", "Payday Loans", etc.

We're talking about a lucrative industry that exists around extracting money from the poorest people. And most of it has to do with them waiting to be paid for work they've already done.
I like this kind of approach way more. It's simple, you don't need to rely on anyone else, and you have complete control over what data you ingest and how you assess it.
Nobody would even think to complain if the implication behind this post was that the company was self-sabotaging itself.

To briefly speak of ethical and legal issues, it is highly doubtful that they would have a policy of not hiring women if women actually apply for the position (and that would most certainly be illegal).
Much more likely is that whoever ran the Facebook campaign checked off that option in an dumb attempt at controlling ad campaign costs? Or maybe they ran a separate campaign to recruit women? Or maybe some other non-nefarious reason.
I don't quite follow. Are you suggesting that because there can be errors or misunderstandings in all contracts, the non-smart variety is preferable since they allow for human intervention when there's a dispute?
There is no “modern discussion” around if autism is a mental illness. It is settled scientific consensus that Autism is a cognitive disability and NOT a mental illness. This “modern discussion” you speak of consists of a single commenter on Hacker News making an unsubstantiated arm-chair assertion that Autism is a mental illness. I’m sorry to bust your bubble, but you are not important enough to overturn settled scientific understanding and consensus with a single comment on a web forum. Now, I want you to understand that no matter how you classify different disabilities and afflictions inside your mind, when you speak such mistruths you influence and affwct the world views of others. Other people are going to read or listen to your comments and they are going to begin to conflate Autism with mental illness. They are going to loop me in with folks who can be treated with medication, or with psycho therapy. They are going to wonder if I’m going to exhibit symptoms of mental illnesses since I am autistic. They are going to wonder if I am depressed, or have anger or personality issues. They are going to wonder if I am a danger to them, and in turn, that mentality is going to cause direct harm and danger to me and other people on the spectrum. It will deprive us of opportunities. It will lessen our ability to make social bonds, in which we already struggle. Your words have power, and in this case I find it disappointing that rather than use your words to benefit others you have chosen, through arrogance, to engage in half-truths and misunderstanding at the detriment of myself and others. Please, consider if it’s more important for you to put forth an opinion that is actively harmful to others, or to approach your discussions and opinions in a more empathetic way.
No, because as has happened before, the developers just go "oops, we made a mistake in the smart contract" and nullify the gains of anybody who profited off of it.
Sure.

Consider, say, Coca-Cola.

The basic "dynamic ribbon" logo (https://www.coca-cola.co.uk/content/dam/journey/gb/en/hidden...) dates from 1886.
That doesn't hold for modern orthography though. Two consecutive ns (e.g. in words innato and perenne) are not pronounced as ñ.
Yes, and bookies do as long refund clients' mistakes as long as the price hasn't moved that much and it is before the event.
The "biological view" reminds me of twenty years ago when gay people were considered mentally ill. I can only hope the next generation doesn't have to put up with this kind of bigotry. Bigotry born out of ignorance and an unwillingness to learn or empathize. You may not realize the damage it causes, the increased suicide risk, but I'm all too aware.

What I don't understand about Opal though, is "meh" obviously doesn't respect gender identity, so why would he adopt a CoC that specifically says his project does?! Coraline just seems to be calling out the hypocrisy of agreeing to one thing and then doing something else.

Read some of this guy's other tweets, he obviously has no idea what he's talking about "I still fail to see how that kind of invasive surgery on kids can b cherished." It's ludicrous, the age old "But think of the children!"

We probably agree more than this comment would lead you to believe. I don't understand why we can't just be nice to each other. Why you can just refrain from going on Twitter and calling an entire group of people (a protected group of people according to your own CoC) delusional. Why can't we all just get along?
brilliant! I don't have experience in big companies, but for sheer comedic value, I have to commend you!
How would you do analytics without the IP address being "transferred to a third party"? Outside of self-hosting, either the user's browser is going to be making a request to the analytics provider (and therefore exposes their IP), or you're going to have to have some sort of proxy mechanism on the site's server that strips that information and sends it from there.

Am I missing something?
That is a very common flow today but re-building and re-deploying images on every change takes a lot of time and you cannot use modern dev features such as hot reloading (e.g. with nodemon).

With the DevSpace CLI, however, you can simply build and deploy once and every following code change will only lead to a code synchronization. The DevSpace CLI will sync your modified source code files straight to your containers running remotely inside a Kubernetes cluster. You can use hot reloading (e.g. with nodemon) and still build and run everything entirely on a remote Kubernetes cluster. Only when you change your Dockerfile, the DevSpace CLI will rebuild and redeploy your container images. This saves a lot of time during development.

I hope you will find the time to try it out and give us feedback on the project :)
There is no such thing as opt out in GDPR. If it's opt out, it isn't compliant in the first place.

'Just'. Which platform? What are you going to render HTML with? And know it produces identical output, etc?
Since that file was served from "/cms/global/scripts/lib", perhaps their CMS got compromised. Anecdotally it seems like CMS's are more frequently prone to compromises than systems like nginx or apache.
Ah, so more talking about the competition to win over the mindshare of people who enjoy C, as opposed to technical competition and merits of the languages.

I might personally describe that differently, as I felt like the GP was implying that C++ and Rust couldn't be used in the same space as C, which isn't quite true.

One challenge C++ has always had is that the language overhead, while easier in some contexts, didn't bring with it significant safety guarantees. As more people are introduced to safer, low overhead languages, I anticipate that to change.
Sqorn author here.

Sqorn doesn't use tagged template literals to be cool. It uses them to make writing SQL flexible, secure and intuitive.

You can write:

const boy = sq.from`person`.where`age < ${7} and gender = ${'male}`

to produce the query:

{ text: 'select * from person where age < $1 and gender = $2', args: [7, 'male'] }.

All methods have both template and non-template string forms you can choose between. For example, the query above could also be written as:

sq.from('person').where({ maxAge: sq.l`age < ${7}`, gender: 'male' })

or even as:

sq`person``age < ${7} and gender = ${'male}`

or for those who like plain old SQL:

sq.l`select * from person where age < ${7} and gender = ${'male'}`

Read the tutorial at https://sqorn.org/docs/tutorial.html to learn about the possibilities.
Isn't this normal in B2B (of which freelance is kind of a subset)? Normal terms might be net 60, but if you pay in less than 30, there's a discount.
Basically one needs a sliding rate scale on credit risk.

At the very least one should be charging ~6% more (1.02 ^3) for net 90 terms, along with Credit Card like rates for missed payments. A good rule of thumb in America is if they have lawyers, you need lawyers.
Scikit-learn is a very nicely written library and I can use plenty of superlatives to describe the wonderous API of scikit-learn.

One thing I can't recommend enough is to extend their Transfomers base class in such a way that you implement their fit and transform methods. A simple example can be viewed here: https://gitlab.com/timelord/sklearn_transformers

which allows you to put your transformers into the scikit-learn Pipelines and GridSearchCV (and more).
The way scikit-learn leverages multiple cores is by using joblib and Dask extends this implementation to effortlessly scale the scikit-learn pipelines onto a cluster of servers. https://distributed.readthedocs.io/en/latest/joblib.html

By writing your own data transformations in the transformer format you can, by extension, leverage this g great ecosystem.

I think it's a great time to be a data scientist / engineer now.
Yes, smart contracts give no recourse when there is an error.

Whether or not that is good here, in general it is an issue. That is a large reason why we have courts.
Even after I know what I'm optimizing for I cannot use data to optimize for it. I know from experience that unintended results will happen. Some of them will be very base which will force me to come up with a whole new set of things to optimize for.

You are also assuming we can agree on what to optimize for. In fact we do not, and will not.
Eventbrite should be ringing the NYSE bell pretty soon, but even Eventbrite is unable to penetrate the decade long deals Ticketmaster has in place.
Doing more research on this it seems like the accusations were the result of a game of news article telephone rather than the actual accusations, though I did find an article[0] that cites a german article[1] that references price control.

As for the fuel market, I don't think its exactly a healthy supply/demand system either due to the necessity of car ownership in certain parts of the world; hence why OPEC is able to fuck with the market so much. It's better in that a car can use fuel from multiple sources though, where in the case of these emissions systems it seems you can only use a certain mixture for their cars, who's patent is owned by a german automobile interest group.

Pentagon: U.S. needs 'more lethal force' to combat foreign cyberattacks
It's amazing how long this ticketing scam has continued, and so blatantly. Everyone knows it's a scam!

They even managed to make settling a class-action lawsuit into a huge fucking scam. It's infuriating. I feel like they should be sued for the way they settled the lawsuit.
Barf, no.
Congratulation, you just noticed obvious problems of a rule like "don't change prices at state of emergencies". Thus, no reasonable/battle-tested actual regulation will have such a rule. Surprisingly, simple principles like "free market", "planned economy"/"communism", "free speech", "equal opportunity" etc cannot solve every problem on their own and we tediously need to balance all of those tools for the best possible outcomes for society.

Here a compromise might be something like caps on price increases (maybe max 500%) and some mild rules to prevent hoarding. I remember reading something like that in actual law, but it's been a while and I'm not sure about details anymore.

It's also interesting many forms of disaster relief are provided by the governments or non-profits instead by the free market directly. This development seems like a good indicator that free markets might have significant drawbacks in such situations.
It's perverse that after Flash/Flex are 'dead' that Sun's mutant attempt to compete in the space is still going.
Whenever someone uses that phrase, I now tend to picture this beautiful monologue by Will Oldham in the movie "A Ghost Story": https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6bs2o5

It's long and depressing (what do you expect for a downer monologue at a party?) but I think worth you while to watch, so that you too can have a comparison point for the future.
I also wonder what they mean by mistake. I’m guessing these are set algorithmically; you can’t honestly label the times you lose money by trusting your code as mistakes while keeping money from the times it’s successful.
