Heinlein wrote that in 1967, when there wasn't as much evidence of enhanced creativity as there is today. Sgt. Pepper's came out the same year and PCR wasn't until 1983. A somewhat square older person (he was 60 then) might not be expected to appreciate psychedelic music right away.

Try reading the book Never Split the Difference. While it is primarily about negotiation, there is a huge component to listening and empathy.

Meh. People forget pretty easily. I discovered this (wasn't trying to trick people -- I gave full refund when requested) and implemented an email sent 7 days before charging the user for an annual subscription. Very easy to do with Stripe, and now users blame themselves (and not me) when their card accidentally gets charged for another year (procrastination after receiving the warning email, usually).

> For each payment thereafter, the merchant will have to send a receipt to the cardholder for each transaction by email or text message with clear instructions on how to cancel the service if the consumer so desires.

Does this mean that for any service offering a free trial, every subsequent post-trial payment must come with an email or text receipt? What if it's a recurring service but it didn't have a free trial? Is the email/text receipt still required as part of Mastercard's rules?

If it only applies to free trials, it sounds like a lot of merchants will simply stop offering free trials.

I'm curious to see by which mechanism merchants are to "gain cardholder approval at the conclusion of the trial before they start billing".

It doesn't overlap with everything a random advertiser might want to promote.

But based on the site, game and other indicators it might be a good place to place an ad for:

- stupid mobile games (assuming the audience is just bored)

- discount consoles/games (assuming audience is playing it because they don't have access to a console)

- toys (assuming audience is kids)

- etc
That's interesting. Can you cite those studies?

I don't see, however, how a study would 'debunk' the possibility of gaming having detrimental effects. It might that show that on average the detrimental effects are negligible. But that does not show, in the least, that parents have nothing to worry about: clearly there are a sizable number of people for whom it is detrimental. Even if that is offset by benefits spread across the statistical population, it's still a problem for those particular people. And to be honest, I'm skeptical to concede even this much.

I think you have to possess a highly etiolated idea of what the human 'good' is to believe that playing video games for dozens of hours a week - which millions of people do - is not to its detriment. It might be very fun. In a way, it can even be social. Both those things are important. But it's hardly the best and fullest exercise of human creativity and imagination, intelligence and enlightment, expansion and self-development, love and desire, etc.

That's not how interviews work. You are not alone in the room being judged by an all-seeing eye. You are talking to a human, and each of you is evaluating whether you want to work with the other.

As an interviewer, I'm always happy to talk to the candidate about the question I ask. I'm perfectly happy to answer "What is a breadth-first search? Why does it solve this problem?". I'm perfectly happy to talk about algorithms with them, and ask leading questions if the candidate explains where they're having difficulty.

As a candidate, I'm not interested in working with an interviewer who doesn't approach the interview the same way. Remember, all interviews are bidirectional.

This person's stated reaction to the question was anger that it was asked. Most likely masked in person, but even masked tells us a lot. It tells us he didn't actually talk to the interviewer. If he had talked to the interviewer and got garbage back, he would have been angry about how awful the people were, not that some technical question was asked. If he'd talked to the interviewer and got useful information back, he wouldn't have thought it was a bad question. The only options left are trying to stumble through it silently and getting it wrong, or sullenly saying "I don't know" and moving on.

And that's the problem. A good programmer isn't measured by being able to make things. A good programmer is measured by being able to work with others and make a positive contribution in a group. Everything this person is describing is how to make a bad first impression during an interview. Maybe he's a great programmer, but he's utterly failing to actually convey that in the important aspects during the interview.

I wouldn't hire him, and this writeup is exactly why. He needs to demonstrate that he's someone people want to work with. This article does the opposite.
Ok, I'm not sure how that relates to the conversation?

If there's little evidence showing that the medium is affecting people positively or negatively, perhaps the key differentiator is content.

A medium is the vehicle for content, and content is dictated by the medium. However, the content you the parent or your tiny adult ingest is entirely of your own control. A parent should ensure their tiny adult is receiving that which will help them develop into healthy adults. Most people simply mimic the things they see and practices they observe, which has broad implications for the kind of content a tiny adult should ingest.

Consider this situation: there are only two shows left on the Earth: "Mister Rogers' Neighborhoood" and "Reno 911." Which show should your tiny adult watch to grow them into a healthy adult? The answer, obviously, is the former. The latter can be viewed later in life once the tiny adult has a more complete understanding of right and wrong.
I tried this feature from my bank (not BofA) several years back. It didn't work as I expected. Even after revoking the card, the merchant was still able to charge me and the amount was just posted to my "real" card number.

I called and complained and the customer service told me that once I had authorized the merchant to charge me, they would accept any future charges even if the card number was closed.

Just curious, have you actually used BofA's service? Maybe the implementation is different now...

If it works, it would be a great way to limit those automatic renewal situations.

I’ve watched many people in these roles, and had them at various times.

One of my takeaways was this. Everybody has a system, but it’s not that important what the system is. What is telling is what happens in a “challenging situation”. Is your system what you rely on to get you through it, or is it what you abandon when the chips are down - only to pick up again when things cool down? In my experience, the people in the former category perform much better, with fewer surprises. If that isn’t you, ask why.

I’ve seen people do this well using everything from a fully manual system (engineering notebook/journal) to total commitment to something like omnifocus to a sort of personal wiki to one based on emacs .org mode. I think the key is to find (and customize) a system that is comfortable for you and you trust - and make it very easy to use. Simpler is probably better.

Another thing to note, the first time you have an EA you’ll have to adjust your patterns to make both of your time more effective.

One last thing - how effective do you feel you are at delegating? The bigger the group under you, the more you have to let go of details to keep your focus where it matters. Communication trumps almost everything else.

Here is an AWS developer discussion that details their response:

Quote for those without access:
There is a known bug with Route 53 DNS servers in which we are not RFC compliant in how we handle a specific kind of invalid query. Namely, when Route 53 gets a query with an unknown EDNS version, Route 53 treats the query as a non-EDNS query instead of responding with BADVERS as ednscomp expects.

We expect to have this bug fixed within a year or two. The good news is that this bug is not impacting, so you'll be ok even if we're slow to fix this. The "dnsflagday" news means that servers that don't support EDNS will be treated as unavailable to resolvers. But Route 53 generally supports EDNS0, valid queries will continue to work regardless.

That's not "computer generated art", that's "art generated with computers".

I don't think such a distinction exists.

whoa the computer learned how to draw photorealistic noses

It didn't, though. You just fed it a whole bunch of photos of people's noses and it learned how to combine them in a way that was pleasing to you, after you spent a long time tuning the parameters and adjusting the algorithm. I fail to see how this is any different from tuning a roguelike's dungeon generating algorithm to produce natural caves and other structures that are pleasing to you. Heck, lots of roguelikes already include datasets of pre-made dungeon pieces (sometimes called vaults) that they can snap together like Lego. This is exactly analogous to brushes in your claim.

The only real difference between a roguelike's dungeon generator and a neural network is that the developer has a better understanding of what's going on so that it doesn't always seem like magic. Having said that, roguelikes still tend to surprise their developers every day.

It depends on the market really. In some markets, there are strong effects where anybody but the market leader is at a super strongly disadvantageous position.

In the smartphone market this is not the case. You can buy from various SOC vendors, you can put Android onto your phone, you can do all of this while competing with other companies. There isn't much of an intrinsic benefit that e.g. Samsung has.

For search, it's different. Yes, you can crawl the entire web using crawlers, but what you don't get is data about which links people are clicking. It allows you to order the results in the right way. Google is paying hundreds of millions to Mozilla annually for the hundreds of millions of users that Firefox has. The reason for this is the clicking data. Not that Google needs the Firefox users any more, but any competitor would massively benefit from the amount of searches that they'd get from Firefox users alone.

Or take your classical communications network. Whatsapp, Facebook, etc. Here, network effects are the reason why there is such a strong monopoly. Nobody wants to join a network where they can't talk to anybody. So people join the popular ones like Whatsapp or Facebook.

There is a ton of money to make if you are in a monopoly position where you can't be kicked out and that's what most of the SV stories are about. They get VC to be able to get big enough to disrupt some market and become monopolist, hoping to stay monopolist due to network effects or similar mechanisms.
