And Canada has another slightly in between device that's super useful and mostly inaccessible in the US.

Going negative in an easy to transact, straightforward pay-for-amount-and-duration-of-debt from your bank has no US equivalents.

Having an unsecured line of credit along with your checking account is extremely convenient if you generally try to invest your savings and very occasionally need to go under temporarily.

It's not like a credit card. The super multi-faceted it-can-very-conditionally-be-used-to-consolidate-cash-debts-with-low-introductory-APR-but-is-also-a-purchase-transactional-tool-with-a-grace-period-except-when-you-break-it-then-you-get-20%-APR-and-get-charged-retroactive-debt-from-the-time-of-transaction-plus-all-your-subsequent-transations-all-have-no-grace-periods-until-you-do-something-magical-to-reset-the-state-of-your-account-and-all-that-except-when-you-do-any-cash-advances-in-which-case-all-bets-are-off is unexplainable and uncalculatable for normal people.

It's not like a loan because loans need paperwork and issuing per instance per purpose. And each time you use it triggers effects on your credit score. A line of credit is always there and free if you don't use it and you can use it on a whim for any arbitrary reasons.

It's not like taking money out of your investments because liquidating assets and possibly transferring between your brokerage and banking accounts can take a week. A line of credit can be cash in your checking account in milliseconds.

Edit: correction, it's not really inaccessible in the US, just a fringe product with 12% APR and other catches like no debt monthly fees vs 5% and no catch in Canada.

>while the risks involved with trading that money are substantial.

Also, presumably lots of people would rather put their beautiful minds towards things other than being anxious about how their savings are going. There is a lot to be said for just being able to park your money somewhere and not have to worry about it while you go live your life.
If YouTube were suddenly banning all LGBT content so as to protect children or some such thing, wouldn't we call that censorship? It's a ludicrous idea that censorship must always come from a government.

My bank just launched an “online only” division which gives me savings at 2.65%, the option to attach checking, and no fees to speak of. The rate is a little lower but still pretty solid. The only caveat is I can’t access that account through their branches; it’s just through their website.

I don’t think the whole “we don’t have branches so we can pass along the savings to you” thing is as defensible as it was 5 years ago. Other businesses can do the math and move in that direction if pressured to do so, and it seems like some of the bigger banks already are.

I don't really have any 'tips to make it stick', because I don't really try to?

Most of my day-to-day development happens in VS Code, most of my in-console or over-the-ssh editing in vim. For interactive/exploratory programming I often grab jupyter notebook.

But having emacs with an org-file open at all times is nice. The bullet lists are pretty :-) And I am slowly branching out to other things that org-mode is capable off. I.e. I started writing a presentation outline in org-mode, then I realized that I could just write the whole thing there and export it to reveal-js html with few key-strokes.
If this system kept the info locally at your place, and had sane defaults for erasing the data ( 30 days?) - with options, I'd be more comfortable with that.

If you or some grandma install a cloud system that auto sends my info to multiple third parties I would think that is worse than creepy.

I could see grubhub delivery people end up at wrong adresses, a system detecting unusual arrival at 9pm, send alert, the system pulls other data about this person, combines it. This is shared with multiple groups of people. Now humans look through it and see her going to the sex toy store earlier in the day and the abortion clinic and the (insert non-popular religious place here) - and whatever.

All it takes is one person in multiple groups to get heated about this person's lifetsyle or 'suspicious activity' to put out a pull over and find some reason to get more info, write a ticket, fine, get them to rack up other issues.

In an extreme situation you end up one of the cog wheels that started a Sandra Bland situation because a suspicions wrong address was given via GPS to a delivery driver.

Even without wrongful deaths, having people look into your life like that and make jokes about you or whatever is pretty lame.

At least when this happens with Msoft's one drive, one could say that someone agreed to the terms of lack of privacy with the corp. Not that I would buy that as 100% true in 100% of most cases, but at least then it could be argued.
They do ignore the hosts file, it’s true - but they don’t ignore windows built-in firewall. I used it to blacklist a bunch of hosts when I had wireshark open to diagnose an unrelated problem and noticed all my keystrokes in the start menu search box were being sent to MS, as well as details about every application I launched. The search box keystrokes were going to onedrive - presumably to show me files matching from there, but I don’t see why they can’t download a list of files and locally search that. Sending every keystroke in that box is unnecessary.
Responding to the title which, while not the entire article, does set the tone:

> It's mostly certainly not a "quantity discount." These corporation aren't "buying" anything from these cities.

The city is selling its land (in quantity) and talent pool (in quantity), and is giving a tax break (a discount).

> If Apple comes in sets up shop on 100 acre campus in your town and gets tax breaks to do so then your town forfeits the equivalent tax revenue another company would have paid for the same parcel of land.

If Bestbuy sells Microsoft 1000 laptops at a 30% discount, Bestbuy has forfeited the revenue they would have made from doing 1000 single unit+no discount sales. Despite the business making far less than maximum revenue, businesses choose to do this all the time as it created greater value for them in the end. Cities are doing essentially the same thing with big companies.

You just can't look at a discount and naively equate that to a $ loss in the city bank account, just as a business can't do this when they sell a physical good.
Having a policy of actively kidnapping children from immigrants and then selling them in auctions while dumping the parents on a different continent?

Having a long established policy of sterilizing minorities? Or wait, was that Canada? Nothing that US would ever have as a policy, of course not.
stick it to criminal "immigrants" because they are criminals and we don't want them. As they are the subject of a deportation order, it's a stretch to call them immigrants.
There's no reason desktop apps can't by default use near-continuous saved state and assure completely persisted state on shutdown request.

They usually don't, because of historical UI paradigms, but there is no reason they can't. It's universal on mobile because mobile rebuilt UI paradigms from the ground up, discarding desktop legacy nonsense in the process.
If they were going to use a new syntax for private members, why not a minus sign: class { -privatefield }? At least there's some precedent for that, and it's already a token in the grammar which currently has no meaning inside a class declaration.

Also: another poster added that private members should just be closed over in functions. Well, I don't find it productive to condemn classes as as a concept, but if JS already has classes being syntactic sugar for a type of methods, it makes sense that private members would be sugar for closed-over variables also.

>My personal theory is that YouTube overemphasizes watch time to a point where any long video gets suggested as long as it has a high completion time.

There are some big performance implications of using `arguments` (most current JITs heavily deoptimize functions that use `arguments`), and arrow functions in the spec are supposed to throw errors for any attempts to access their `arguments`.

Discoverability is often a major documentation shortcoming. They solved task-oriented discovery of 'how' snippets. Someone can search based on what they want to do, and not based on a specific command.

I also prefer the 'documentation is code' approach, but it doesn't solve the same problem.
Ironic that the author is accusing YouTube of profiting off of conspiracy theories... by promoting his own conspiracy theory.
>>The US talks about respecting human rights, but has no problem with 1 million dead Iraqi civilians.

So you took a poll, "do you give a rats @ss that 1 Million Iraqis were killed by USA" and most people didn't care? Let's tone it down, USA did not go there to kill a million people, it happened because of the war, and Saddam might have killed 2 mil if he was alive for Arab Spring. Not saying that Iraq war was justified but there's a huge difference.
You are missing the point of the piece. The author is saying YouTube has the ability to not show content that is flat-out wrong and dangerous. The author is saying the same thing you are. The algorithms can be easily adjusted - but they wont be, because controversy = time on Youtube.
They absolutely do not have to recommend content that would radicalize a man enough to take a rifle into a pizza parlor to free alleged child sex slaves.

This is not about setting the line about what is "offensive." this about taking responsibility for providing a huge platform for dangerous ideas to spread.

No Im not advocating for thought police but I really do think most would agree that platforms have to start taking responsibility for promoting QAnon style conspiracies and white-supremacist ideas.

Look at the comments I linked to. That's not downtime. People's transaction history is being rolled back. Some people still have fake positions showing. Another had all his positions sold. Another got bonus buying power.

The inconsistencies in the comments are striking. Looks like a complete lotto of what happened to people's accounts. That inspires zero in their back end processes.

It's also crappy that you don't get access to the best sale prices without a Prime membership. That's why I've stopped shopping at Whole Foods.

Hearsay and anecdote are not useful for determining the empirical validity of a theory or therapy. I don't know you, and I have no idea if your reporting is accurate, or if so, who this neurologist might have been, or whether they are trustworthy, and even if they are, I don't have any information as to whether this specific opinion is sound. Without empirical evidence, there is no objective reason to believe any part of this claim.
Although I understand value behind this approach, what I specifically dislike about fman is the fact its own instances of CPython, Qt and other libraries get installed together with it although I already have up-to-date versions of all the dependencies properly installed in my system.
This is just recognizing the status quo. Pretty much no desktop or mobile or web software is handling "unlikely to fail" allocations. And how exactly do you expect them to handle it? If, say, it's a desktop app that's rendering a widget, and as part of that it needs to allocate a string, and that fails - how does it recover?

Panic on OOM is perfectly reasonable for most.

And yes, panics shouldn't be catchable. That's the whole point.

Mobile apps don't restore very well either, but it doesn't matter so much. There is usually not much to restore because they have less state.

Let's say I have a private browsing session. Or a password manager session where I've been manipulating an unlocked database. I might have manually mounted a file system over the network and might have a bunch of programs running, editing the files over there.

You cannot restore these things automatically after a shutdown. It's annoying each time, and sometimes you are simply going to lose data.

I'm not so sure about that. Certain species pf crows and parrots have long been understood (even by non-scientists) to have general/abstract reasoning abilities. And people who actually study them seem to think that we often underestimate them [0] - probably because of widely held myths like the 5 second memory one.

I haven't read Hawkins' book yet, but he and the vicarious crew tend to conflate "neocortex" with "general intelligence" in their public talks. Birds and, it seems, the vast majority of animal species rely on predictive models of the world to navigate it - even if their "model-builder" doesn't look exactly like the mammalian one.[1] It makes complete sense to me - if a lizard loses a leg, it quickly learns how to walk with just 3 legs. If a finch is born with slightly larger wings than normal, and it also loses some of its tail feathers at some point, it quickly learns to adjust its motor patterns to suit the new conditions. You solve problems like these with sensory-motor models, not with hard-coded algorithms.

Not entirely scientific but starting from the trivial 1-24 board, I did 100M random swaps (in Go, keeping all of them, takes about 4 minutes) and counted how many scores were in each bucket of 10 (ie 370-379.99, 380-389.99, etc.) Having done this a few times and never got anything in 37, I'm thinking the number of solutions below 380 must be relatively small, yeah.

Even if I agreed with you that all of the thoughts/propaganda/ideas that a plurality of the current population thinks should be suppressed are objectively harmful and absolutely should be suppressed (which, incidentally, I don't), even you ought to be able to agree with me that, at some point in the future, an important idea or viewpoint could find itself in the censorship list that this line of thinking lays the groundwork for.

Tipping is a weirdly American phenomenon. Travel, for example, to the EU or other parts of the world where there's no tipping. Workers are paid a living wage and have benefits (esp. in countries that didn't go with employer-supplied benefits in the wake of WWII). They want no part of "tipping". Combine that with VAT-using countries, and it's delightful to look at a restaurant menu and realize there's zero obfuscation about what the final bill will be. Not to mention tipping as a vehicle for wage theft, and playing into a generally regressive compensation system.
Instacart and Shipt (who was recently acquired by Target) make money from the price slew between what they're paying (which, might not even be the cost that's on the grocery shelf -- it may be lower), and the price that they're charging you.

Yes, they have to pay the Shoppers a per-item fee, but, for the most part, the price that Insta is paying isn't the price that's listed on the shelf.
You're right - the gradient was in Win98.

As far as translucency - Win2K introduced the new APIs that any app could use to make a window translucent. That was used for those fade-on-click effects, and also for tooltips. But after people figured out that you could do it on any top-level window, there was a brief craze where random apps added it as an option, sometimes for no reason at all other than showing off (like, why would a CD burning app need a translucent window?).

I gave up my prime membership this month for a few reasons:

- the price raise got up over my utilization for shipping and I don't use the ancillary benefits more than the occasional prime video usage.

- the Amazon self shipping is horrendous. Lies about deliveries, much higher level of damage on boxes & crazy driver experiences made it so that every time one of those got selected I had a bad customer service experience. With non-prime delivery I can choose, with Prime it was up to some algo.
