Isn't the true answer to this because most payment providers set up much more onerous requirements to let people take payments via their service and/or charge merchants more?

When your payment services have lower bars to entry for scammers and lower margins, you're going to flag a higher proportion of possible issues with your merchants and not handle them as smoothly.
The sum of the length of all environment variables has to be below 32767 characters. That doesn't seem like a good excuse to save 14 characters by putting your program's folder in C:/ instead of C:/Program Files/

If you do deeply nested paths (as npm used to do) then you can run against the old MAX_PATH limit that limits paths to 260 characters, but the correct solution is to either choose a flatter directory structure or use the newer APIs that allow paths with 32,767 characters.

? UK Network Rail APIs are the probably the best I've seen. There is ~10,000 real time monitoring sensors on the network. Check out realtimetrains.co.uk for example, which is driven by the STOMP feed from NR (which sends thousands of requests per second on real time location and status of each and every train in the UK).

Regarding your point on outbound trains, often if a train is running late inbound they will have another one take over the duties, so trying to identify it isn't a perfect system for predicting.
That’s almost certainly an app; a web app would require quite a bit of configuration to look like that. It might be running a web view internally, though.
While this cleans up the file hierarchy, it absolutely destroys any interoperability between programs. If a program cannot output files that other programs can see, then it cannot output files that other programs can use as input. Between having a messier file hierarchy on the one hand, and not being able to open a Microsoft Word document outside of Microsoft Word, the former is by far the lesser evil.

Why not? You have literally committed those additional crimes, and maybe the state can't get you on the murder, but they can get you on the disposing the body, stealing the car, or whatever else. I don't think it should be the case that if acquitted of the worst of the crimes, you walk on all of them.

I do think that the sentencing should default to concurrent for tightly related crimes, of course.

“Probably” indicates a likelihood, not a statement about one particular instance. You’re discussing one particular instance. Statistically, very many people arrested for things that I do not believe should be a crime, such as marijuana possession, and that is to what I am referring.

> Filmmakers’ most common blunder may be the sideways board. On a correctly placed chessboard, the square in either player’s bottom right corner will be light-colored

This is the only one I wouldn't consider a gaffe. Plenty of casual chess players don't know this either. It flips the board layout (queens on the wrong side), and would probably feel wrong to a more experienced player, but it doesn't actually affect the game.

Cost of production plummeted to zero, vastly increasing supply. That increase of supply combined with additional sophistication of users meant that ads became exponentially less valuable. Getting desperate, they hitched their wagon on Facebook - and anyone who has lived through any era of the Internet knows that you never build your house on someone else's land.

A popular quote that's usually wrong.

It's true iff you haven't made any effort to find evidence whatsoever OR there's a zero percent chance that you would find evidence even if it existed. This is a very rare circumstance, and one that doesn't apply in this case.

There were some logs that. had there been exploitation, had a non-zero change of providing evidence of said exploitation.
They looked in the logs, and there's a non-zero chance that, if that evidence were in those logs, they would have seen it.

P(exploitation) < P(exploitation|they had and looked at the logs)

That's the definition of evidence.

Yes, AND one more factor no one is mentioning: resume inflation. If people read that they need several years of experience in a product or tech that's only several years old, like Kubernetes for example, then they will start to lie. And since they start to lie, others feel they should lie, too. The moral of the story is: tech management frequently doesn't know what it's doing.

Thank you for the clear example. I think this context really helps people understand the conversation better.
Bars are lowered, barriers are removed; lowering barriers is a mixed metaphor that doesn't really work because "lowering a barrier" often, in reality, means that a barrier has been put in place. Plus the metaphor has to mean the same thing in this case — there is a barrier to entry, but it is not as difficult to get past as it was previously, which exactly the same as lowering the bar (the bar is still there, it's just lower and therefore easier to jump over)

This is most definitely wrong, and I think any but the most beginning player would notice. It doesn't affect the theory of the game, of course, but there are good reasons to be consistent about this. It flips the meaning of "light square bishop", for instance.
My larger concern is who is paying for us not making the genetic effort: afflicted individuals and the social costs of trying to give them at least an approximately normal life.

Weighing any risk against that cost? I can't make a pursuasive argument that we shouldn't proceed.

Why do you assume CAD and VR are mutually exclusive? Interfaces of the future haven't been designed yet - but it's not hard to naively imagine taking any CAD program and turning the viewport into a 3D window. Something that allows you to use your head to look around it, use your fingers to spin the object around, pinch to zoom or other gestures. The rest of the interface could stay the same as it is now and interacted with via a mouse and keyboard, and it would be much better than the current CAD (if there was a VR HMD that has a very high resolution and allows some level of mixed reality for interaction with with desk objects as well as your colleagues)
Have you considered the possibility that confounding variables exist? I have no doubt that coming from a family where your parents have received a good education makes it much more likely for you to personally also go on to get the same education for example. But these are different than the pure genetics by themselves. The Wikipedia article you link to yourself highlights the importance of how it defines the meaning of "heritability" that I think you should take a closer look at.

I'm sure at some point in the future, we will be able to genetically engineer our children to be smarter. Yet this is still a completely different idea compared to the paired mating of people which has currently been proposed. Intelligence is something that is incredibly complex, and humans are likely very close if not already at its peak within some local maxima.

You might get a SF tenderloin situation, where when random homeless people attack you unprovoked and the police do shit all, same with brazen, obvious property theft and shitting on the street.

Yes there is a mental health aspect with some of it, and they need proper mental hospitals with permanent or temporary care for those people who need it, but statistics show there will always be that %1 antisocial portion of the populace that will do that crap if no enforcement exists for them.

I hate to cheer on a crime, but I actually think this is a positive development. Fake copyright takedown claims are already used to chill speech, but it flies under the radar so the process stays broken. If this type of ransom takes off, YouTube will be forced to actually address false takedowns.
I do understand this mindset (and I'm running a privacy-oriented open source app: https://getaether.net, so speaking from personal experience), however, not everything can be open source, and not everything can be free. There is a place for proprietary software, and the more we deny that, the more creators of those open source software join Googles and Facebooks of the world and make them even more invincible.

The blanket 'not open source, so I won't use it' general sentiment (not implying you have this) I see on HN nowadays doesn't hurt Google, it hurts small software makers that don't have the luxury and money to make things 'free*' with five asterisks like FAANG, like you and me, and actually strengthens the larger companies.

The trust issue is a legit one, though. I have the same concerns on that one. However, if I could fully trust it, I would have no problem with it being not open source.
It's a combination of factors. As mentioned in the original link, PayPal has an advantage because a portion of transactions are done internally using PayPal balance.

This results in an instant and free transaction. They also have a network effect which is compounded by saving the buyers'payment information, meaning the buyer doesn't need to resubmit their payment information on each transaction.

The company treats its merchants terribly and treats buyers like royalty. This is a winning strategy because merchants have no choice but to use the payment methods the buyer prefers. Otherwise the buyer will simply go to a competitor who does take PayPal.

PayPal is an essential service to most merchants. The way they close and limit accounts can basically determine which businesses in a specific industry are successful. They seem to selectively enforce their own policies among merchants. This will create monopolies or oligopolies simply through having a functional PayPal account.

Considering this huge power they hold, it is unfortunate that their policies are so opaque and inconsistent. A merchant is in a constant state of fear that one day PayPal will just permanently close their account, and will have no option to discuss or appeal the decision. It happens constantly and is the reason many businesses eventually fold.
If it's a choice between giving my CC to a random web merchant that likely doesn't know technology (so non-trivial chance that they or their third party payment processor are compromised) or using Paypal to pay then I know which one I'll choose.

At least "My documents" is separate (as a subfolder) from %HOME isn't it?

(I never used MacOS, but from the article it seems not the case for MacOS?)
because PayPal is like any marketplace platform. Demand side is always more important than Supply side.

If there is Demand (people willing to pay), there will most likely be lots of folks happy to Supply (merchants willing to sell).

The opposite is not true. If you ramp up Supply (add more good merchants), it's hard to ramp up Demand to match (getting more customers).

Hence, "the customer is always right".
If you're concerned about agricultural use of water in California, I would suggest a bigger concern is alfalfa, a low-value, water-intensive crop, most of which gets shipped to China. We are almost literally selling water to China. Almonds, at least, are a high-value crop, meaning that if we found a way to circumvent or invalidate the 19th-century water rights and raise the price of water to farmers, almond growers could pay the higher rates but crops like alfalfa would probably be rendered uneconomic.
Just changing the HOME environment variable, which would be what such a hypothetical utility would boil down to, does not address what sakoht was talking about, which is Hurd-style subsetting of a user's account and files.
I see another aspect to this as well. Our incentives are fundamentally opposed to the incentives of those who are collecting data on us. So not only are there reasons for them not to believe what we tell them about ourselves, even if they were to ask, there are also reasons for them to figure out better ways to use the information against us if they were to ask and we were to answer.

I don't think there's a good solution to this as long as so many services that people want to use are monolithic and centralized.
Also, the 1998 movie "Pi", about intelligence, insanity, chaos, and the game "Go", the game he's having with the head professor guy looks entirely one sided winning by one of the colors, and has no room for as many missing pieces to have been captured.

Not at all. Whataboutism is a variation on "tu quoque", the idea being an attempt to establish an equivalence between two disparate actions. The disparate actions here being McKinsey's active role in the opioid epidemic - the focal point of this article and the consulting industry's questionable moral compass. PWC, Deloitte and KPMG are not "also" pushing opiods.

The Mobile Economy Russia and CIS 2018
Watching chess, like watching "hacking" is kind of boring. The audience understands the high level concepts but not the details. I feel that the actual placement and progress of a game of chess on the big screen follows the same "entertainment logic" that "cracking" passwords one letter at a time does. That is no logic at all.

Chess is a signifier. The players are smart, sometimes ruthlessly willing to sacrifice for the greater good. The opponents are doing battle often a mental proxy that foreshadows a physical battle to come. There is a slow tension to it. People get the high level concept and symbolism without understanding the nuances or in fact without understanding what a fork is or being able see it on the board let alone being able to "see it" coming.

Almost no one in a theater will see HAL's mistake at calling for mate in 2 rather than mate in 4. Sure, people find "easter eggs" and hidden messages like this after the fact and it is fun to debate but during the film this simply goes over people's heads.

Finally, this post suggests that the "average" game is about 79 moves.

Any director will be hard pressed not to take liberties regarding play and still keep the audience engaged.
Basically PayPal takes a hostile attitude towards sellers. "Oh you have done millions of dollars with us over years and this new account is making a very flimsy complaint, well fuck you"

At a certain point PayPal is actively and knowingly participating in scams.
I think it depends on how you learned to play. Personal anecdote: I learned the game from another casual player, and played a few hundred hours without learning any openings (but developing my own crude ones) or even knowing 'en passant.' Only when I actually started studying theory did I learn the orientation rule and understand why that sort of consistency is important. Now a flipped board sticks out like a sore thumb.
Your back being against the wall is a very bad reason to try to reinvent yourself as an investor.

People who make a living by investing either start off with large amounts of capital, a healthy margin on other people's capital because of their assumed knowledge and work ethic, or by lucking out on their friend's business venture they pumped pocket money into growing big fast. I don't think many people got successful investing out of desperation.

On the plus side, if you're earning 180k a year, you can acquire the ability to not need to continue to work in your current job - assuming this is your current motivation - far more easily by cutting your living costs and investing simply and passively.

The difference between 8% and 12% return on your savings entails a lot of investment skill and luck; the difference between spending $20k per month and $10k per month not so much.

High value, low value, the Western U.S. can’t support either. The profitability of the situation isn’t really a factor, it’s the consumption. I’d also argue that people have far more control over what they buy for ‘milk’ than they do over exports to China. Having said that, it’s very much a problem solving itself, with eventual depopulation.

It’s probably because Windows makes the actual home folder somewhat difficult for the average non-technical user to see. They effectively made the My Documents folder the home folder for most of their userbase.
