I did not downvote you (and in fact can't since its a direct reply), but I'll bite.

Steel-Toed boots and earplugs are necessary because of safety requirements. You can crush your toes and lose your hearing as a result of that job.

Waste processing smells because of the fact that, well, waste smells. There is utterly nothing the company or the individual can do other than mask the smell for them self.

Programming has no such utterly-unavoidable noise aspect (unless you count meetings and around-the-desk discussions, things which I personally can deal with to a reasonable extent). There is absolutely, positively no reason that a company of a decent size can't format their office in a way that is less distracting than an open-office format.

Drawing a line between white and blue collar jobs in this manner is a false equivalence and a strawman.
Kinda want the ability to cancel a virtual card at will too, which isn't possible via Apple Pay.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and this is a clear example of injustice. It's a slippery slope to effectively say, "we sometimes punish the wrong people, but in return we get a very safe society", because how can you feel safe in a society that may, at any time, randomly select you for punishment? It might not be "crime" per se, but when you're locked up, does it really matter if it's all by the book? Doesn't that mean the book is bad?
I believe Google Wallet does the same.

The virtual card is also set up in such a way that it can only be used to make purchases through Apple Pay. Which makes it, unlike regular (American) credit cards, a 2-factor authentication system: Something you have (phone) and something you are (fingerprint or face).

That's a big part of why I use Apple Pay when it's available; it gives me a fair bit more protection against credit card fraud.
Yes: https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/where-to-use/
You're assuming those people use that card. In my experience, very few use an AmEx Platinum, etc. for most of their everyday purchases, because that wouldn't make sense. You can easily get more than 2% on every purchase (with 4-5% on a majority for some people) if you can make use of travel rewards.
I used that feature so many times with Paypal and Final and both closed that product after a year or two. I'm not sure what kills it, but it's a difficult space I guess. Maybe too much fraud to handle?
I wasn't speaking for all the world. I said I'll take it with a grain of salt. Reading the news in general has obviously taken a huge hit in popularity and doing so via a special app (outside of the community driven ones like Reddit) is an even smaller part of the way people consume this media.

It's obvious from peoples' experience with Apple News in these comments that a lot of content consumed from there is actually involuntary from widgets, etc.. What I took away from that quote is in line with that; this isn't really much of a feat when dug deeper into.
Humans are meant to be active for long periods of time. There aren't any dangers of exercise. Only in the minds of people who are trying to justify their fat lifestyle do they perceive some sort of risk associated with what us, animals, are meant to do be doing naturally.
I love the UX for this.. why haven't we seen more of going back to UNIX principles? I'm also curious.. why and what ML do you want to add?
It absolutely matters if we're talking about useful scales, ie delivering hundreds of MWs over days. Otherwise it's just a pet project with no chance to ever replace fossil fuel.

And yes, we do need power to be reliable. We need to power infrastructure that runs 24/7 (not everything is industrial production).

Nuclear is definitely the best clean energy in terms of land use, for the same area you'll be producing much more electricity.
Google Pay as well: https://usa.visa.com/pay-with-visa/featured-technologies/goo...

> When you use your phone to pay in stores with an eligible Visa card in Google Pay, we don’t send your actual credit or debit card number with your payment. Instead, a virtual account number is used to represent your account information – so your account details stay safe.
Looking at the data source[1] it only has Seoul data until 1991 and it is 10.463 million.

The concept of virtual cards is that they're essentially single use -- they cancel themselves.
German here; MasterCard and Visa are accepted almost everywhere even the smallest shop usually offers contactless payments (tap).
Amex on the other hand is a rarity and you should expect that it doesn’t work.
I use Citi and there are no limits. I pay my balance in full every month and it's actually better IMO because it incentives payments. PenFed you don't have to be military, you can be a member as well and it's a pretty good bank anyways. Fidelity you can use their checking account, so it's as good as cash.

Apple requires you to use Apply Pay to earn 2%, so it comes with it's own caveats.
AFTER the learning curve, I spend less than 5 mins per day in it. On payday I spend maybe 10-15 mins.

There is a learning curve though; you have to think of money differently and that's a process. However, YNAB has no-joke changed my life. I don't stress about money. I know where it is. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself and my future.

I spend my money daily, it makes sense I should spend some time PLANNING my money daily. Can't recommend it enough.
Uh, do they just answer "no" and keep doing the same shit? I suggest you be a little more direct. "If the door's open, could you still knock so I know you're there? The shoulder tap is startling."
I know this is a MasterCard, but it'd be more interesting if they were able to take out the $0.35 transaction fee on every transaction. This is the bread and butter of every payment processor, and it's complete rent seeking, AND supposedly all the major processors are going to RAISE it at roughly the same time in the coming months.

Eliminating the set transaction fee could open up so many potential businesses. But I'm not sure what incentive Apple has of getting rid of it. It's a cash cow.
this is great to have, but as you can see, the page chrome://inspect itself is not mobile friendly by google's standard. text and button is too small to see.

it's also unclear what it means by "log", javascript exceptions? or console.log. My page prints lots of console.log, but I didn't seem to see those with the inspect page.
As i understand it, this is part of what Apple Pay does anyway. Rolls a new use-once number per transaction.
Not sure how this fits in, but she did mention there's no higher interest penalty for late payments.
2% is pretty good for a card with no annual fee. You can get more if you use a card like Chase Freedom and keep track of your spending categories, but I don't know of any no annual fee card with more than 2%. Citi Double Cash is the only other 2% card I know of.
They have Apple Cash, which you could load up, and where your cash rebates end up from the Apple Card.
That's fair, but with caveats you can also get more than 2% back on every purchase and 4-5% on many purchases. For many people, that's easily worth it and I wouldn't settle for a 2% back card.
Partnering with a bank to learn the ins and outs could be the first step towards starting a bank. Apple in/famously partnered with Motorola on the ROKR to get a feel of the industry.
I've been running this for a couple days now. In summary, about 85% of the bots give up in 5 to 30 seconds. The remainder of them will remain stuck anywhere from 700 to 9000 seconds. It is at least interesting to see how bots have evolved.
oh great... a bunch of crappy games with touch UI. Finding quality games in the App Store is like needle in a haystack.

iOS games are mostly at the calibre of killing time on the bus. Never something you sit down, at home for a dedicated gaming session.
One of the reasons for having a Credit Card for me is the protection from shady merchants, fraudulent transactions and the assurance of getting my money back if there is a major issue with product/service.

AMEX once refunded me $1800 for speakers that were damaged in shipping with some documentation, photos and details about the issue.

Now, customer service varies from bank to bank but AMEX has always had the best customer service in my view, bar none. I wonder how Apple Card will stack up to it.
As a paypal user, the problem you describe is not my problem. Paypal is useful for settling up among friends by transferring small amounts of money around with minimal friction, enabling us to coordinate group activities without needing to waste a bunch of time meeting up physically and collecting cash. I believe that Paypal simply eats the transaction cost for such interactions in order to keep us involved with their service, which seems fair. Additionally, Paypal is useful for making occasional purchases from small vendors I don't trust to maintain effective information security. The more places I enter my billing credentials, the more likely they are to get leaked and exploited, and then I have a hassle to deal with. I'd prefer to avoid that. I use paypal instead so that managing these risks is their problem. They charge the vendor a percentage, which is again reasonable because paypal's service is making it more likely that I will be comfortable doing business with the vendor in the first place. If paypal were not an option, a good fraction of the time I would just choose not to make the purchase or to buy locally; taking a 5% cut on the transaction is not unreasonable if the transaction would not otherwise be happening and all the other parties are getting their needs met.

Face ID for me is a godsend. For some reason, fingerprint sensors on Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus devices just don't work for me.

Hooray for FaceID!!!
Virtual card number but still assigned to a named user.
Where's Tenochtitlan? Low estimates are around 200k population before the Spanish came, which is above several other cities listed at the start of the chart race.
Infinitely large?

My understanding was that the universe originated as a point, inflated a great deal, then began expanding at a rate that has changed over time. As a result, the universe would be significantly larger than the visible universe, but would have a finite size.

(A finite size, but no boundaries. The universe is a sphere whose circumference is everywhere but whose center is nowhere. Cue Borges music.)
Probably a temporary CC number generator for internet purchases.

You would not be able to "choose" a vanity number of your own choosing besides being really insecure but also because CC numbers have to fit an algorithmic pattern to be valid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm
I don't thing it is healthy to have big entities like this control fundamental services like payment processing. How long before the opaque governance of the App Store is applied to their payments offering? How long before activists start making this a new vector for deplatforming? Apple also announced a news offering (https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-news-plus) and I think the same concerns apply there.
Likewise. This is disruptive to an entrenched market. Apple got Goldman Sachs to go along with it, too. I dig it.
Sola dosis facit venenum. It's not about that its there, its about how much there is. My guess is not enough to warrant the effort it took to write this article.
AML laws are a thing. Someone in the chain definitely knows who it was. The payment network for sure, as well as any associated banks, and Apple, clearly. The merchant can see whatever their payment processor chooses to share with them.
just to reflect your attitude, why should we trust them to delete our data? why do we even tolerate a background level of fraud at all?

how about this - I dont use my cards that often - maybe 20 times a week. i'd be much happier if i got a notification through a side channel with a proposed charge and I could click 'yes' or 'no'.

it makes alot more sense to me than having to poll my account to look for potential fraud and argue with the bank about re-issuing a card with a new number.

wouldn't that be simple? i understand that for some usage patterns that would be inconvenient.

the broader point is that I shouldn't need to expose personal information just to buy a tea towel, I shouldn't even have to give you my email address so you can start sending my helpful hints about how awesome your other products are.

> just tell them you'll deliver when it's done

Not trying to be facetious here: I'd love to have this level of freedom from deadlines, but the grim reality is that it'll remain fantasy for most people at most stages in their careers.

Me: "I'll deliver when it's done."

High school teacher: "Suit yourself. You'll lose 10% of your final grade for every day it's late."

Government: "We've assessed a late fine because you missed our entirely arbitrarily set tax filing deadline."

Grad school supervisor: "You submitted the final copy of your dissertation four days after the administrative deadline, so you're stuck paying another semester's tuition."

Boss: "You're fired."
Years ago I turned off notifications for almost everything, and leave my phone in silent mode almost all the time.

The thing is, even if MasterCard excluded Apple Card from the data they sell, very few merchants send transactions directly to MasterCard. There's usually a merchant acquirer involved, and that acquirer might proxy transactions through Visa rather than integrating with the other networks directly. In that case the merchant, the acquirer, Visa, MasterCard and Goldman Sachs would all see the transaction data.

Plus there are normally other companies involved when a transaction is settled later, like First Data.
Apple is great at a lot of things, but qualified to "make gaming even better" they are not.

Most games, if they are even released on Mac, run worse on a Mac compared to Windows PC.

And a lot of gaming accessories, like Razer mice, don't even work properly on a Mac.
I used to use blosxom for this purpose. Just write the markdown for an entry and run a script to output the updated static site... Maybe not "use serviceable" enough for you, though.

IMO compression in backups is overrated. (I run Relica, a backup service built atop restic: https://relicabackup.com)

Most large files are already in compressed formats: mp4, zip, tgz, jpg, etc.

What you _really_ want is deduplication (which restic does), so that chunks are only stored once, even if multiple machines sharing some data back up to the same repo. Dedup saves me about 30% per backup repo in my own experience.

Not saying compression wouldn't be nice (to have done properly, it is somewhat at odds with encryption), but I'm just saying I don't think it's worth making it a #1 deciding factor.
> I don't believe that productivity is hurt because of open office sounds

Your lack of belief does not invalidate other people's experiences. You may feel that your productivity isn't hurt in open offices, and you might even be right about yourself. But "this doesn't bother me so it doesn't bother anyone" (or even "so it shouldn't bother anyone") causes serious problems.
cash > applepay > tap > swipe > chip > debit

cash is the most convenient secure and private form of payment. applepay if i run out of cash or its a larger transaction. chip (in the US) is hobbled by stupid UX (insert card, tap random buttons, sign, etc.), so swipe is usually quicker and more reliable. i never use debit.
You mean like Visa and MasterCard? Yes very unhealthy. Big entities shouldn’t control payments.
I am a terrible procrastinator, and for me procrastination seems to be very much like writer's block. The problem isn't doing something so much as it is starting something. In the case of writer's block, I try to start by free-writing. I start writing with the intention that it's going to be crap and I'm going to throw it away. In fact, I might even start with complete gibberish.

Along with general procrastination and writer's block I also suffer from the closely related coder's block. I address this the same way: instead of free-writing I start "free-coding", where I write code with the intention that it's going to be crap, and I might even start writing gibberish, before I move on to writing code that compiles and maybe runs, but does nothing useful. The goal is just to get started.

In the case of both free writing and free coding, once I start I pretty quickly move on to writing stuff that's decent even if it's not great. That's something I can work with, and once I get in that mode I have much greater resistance to distractions.

To circle back to procrastination, I might use a similar approach. Say I need to clean up my work area, and I just don't want to (even though I also do want to). I need to reduce the scope of the problem to something absurdly simple, or maybe even just absurd. So I decide I'm just going to move all the loose items on my desk to another table so I can dust the desk. But I'm not even going to dust the desk, I'm just going to move the stuff off of it. For the immediate moment that's all I've got to care about it. Just moving stuff around.

But once the desk is cleared, dusting it and wiping it down is easy. It's so easy in that moment that that's all I care about. Then once that's done, I move the stuff back. But as I'm moving the stuff back it's easy to address each item one-by-one. Old papers can go in the trash or recycling, the books can go back to their regular place on the book shelf, the stapler can go back in the desk drawer where it regularly resides, etc. Then I realize now would be a good time to wipe the dust off my monitor, sort through the nearby stack of mail, etc.

Now mind you, I still procrastinate way more than I should, but these techniques work for me and I procrastinate a lot less than I used to.
> Just allow me to create as many 'virtual' credit cards from a single card and that's enough

Apple Pay already does this via the "EMV Payment Tokenisation Specification":

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pay#Technology

Anyone can implement it; it's not Apple-proprietary.
Me too. But isn’t it annoying when gas pumps still ask you to enter your zip code?
Target has been resisting and dragging their feet because they really really really want people to use their store card instead.
That's precisely the point.

The law doesn't make code which causes harm illegal, it makes code which does not operate in accordance with the user's intention illegal.

Think about that for a second. Think about every program ever written which did not operate in accordance with the user's intention. Literally every bug is punishable by three years in prison.

This is a classic example of legislators saying "We don't understand the problem, so lets just make everything illegal and rely on the police and prosecutors using their discretion to only put the real criminals in prison," followed by the police and prosecutors not using their discretion and putting a non-criminal in prison.

Officially, I work from home. But when my family is around, that can be just as bad as being in an open office environment, maybe worse. (I have a 4-year old and a 3-month old.)

So, I started leasing an office in town about a year and a half ago. Totally worth it. It's a quiet space to work where nobody interrupts me or touches anything. And, the internet's about 5x faster than what I have at home. When the weather is nice, I bike in.

It'd be great if my employer paid for it, but my base pay is sufficient.

> How does a truck driver deals with theft currently

I can tell you what he did when some fuel thieves tried to steal some of the fuel from his truck in no-where Bulgary: he took an iron bar from inside his cabin and started chasing those thieves, accompanied by an Hungarian fellow truck driver who had noticed the thieves in the first place.

> Are potential thieves discouraged by presence of a human because penalties for harming humans are higher than mere theft

Yeah, that’s how things stand right now in these parts of the world (I live in Romania). An unattended house in a village will most certainly attract some unwanted eyes, much more so compared to a house where people live day-to-day. The same goes for trucks, or for anything with value, really.
Thank you, this works like a charm! I tried it on tapas.io where it got rid of both the annoyingly thick header as well as the sidebar.

The perks aren't great for someone with good card(s) already. Actually, they aren't great to the marginal consumer (who doesn't have any cards yet) either. Square's Cash App card gives 10% off at Trader Joes/Whole Foods/Kroger plus discounts at a host of fast food places, and can be gotten by anyone, even without a bank account or credit check or anything. The downside is its a debit card, the plus is that the rewards compete with A+++ credit cards.
"if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me"

That's one way of looking at it. Another is that there's more than one "you", or at least more than one part of you. A part that wants one thing, and a part that wants another. Sometimes the one part gets the upper hand, sometimes another. The part that gets the upper hand might even be fully unconscious, so as far as you're aware you fully want only one thing, yet do something completely different that an unconscious part of you wants (or that you want without being aware of it).
A Better Way to Measure Your SEO
I'll try to explain. The first rule of life that you have to understand it's that life isn't fair. People without disabilities can go to conferences and expand their social network better than quadriplegics. They can go to more job interviews easier. They appear to have more options than disabled people. They appear more dominant and able to negotiate a better salary.

A potential employer wants to pay the lowest salary for the best work. They think (and based on what you wrote, rightly so) that they can get away with paying quadriplegic people less.
