Fidelity Visa is 2% on everything, no cap, no annual fee.

Citi DoubleCash is 2% on everything, dunno if there's a cap, no annual fee. (you have to redeem into a bank account, not as statement credit, to get the full 2%)

USAA Limitless is 2.5% cash back on everything, no cap. (military only, no longer available), no annual fee.

If you have enough cash invested with Merrill Edge ($100,000, including IRAs) the Bank of America Travel Rewards earns 2.625% cash back on everything, not sure of a cap, no annual fee.

If you value Membership Rewards at more than a cent, the American Express Blue Business Plus earns 2 Membership Rewards per dollar spent on everything, $50,000 cap, no annual fee.

Discover IT Miles earns 3% cash back on everything the first year, churnable (you can get a new one every year), no cap, no annual fee.

Alliant Credit Union Cashback Visa earns 3% on everything the first year and 2.5% after that, $60 annual fee (waived the first year), dunno of a cap.

Capital One Venture is (basically) 2% cash back on everything, $95 fee (which they usually waive if you ask),no cap. Only redeemable towards travel. Has a fairly large signup bonus.

Barclaycard Arrival Plus is 2% on everything, $95 annual fee, not sure of the cap. Only redeemable towards travel. Has a fairly large signup bonus.

Paypal Mastercard is 2% on everything, no annual fee, dunno of a cap.

Those are your basic options for no-fuss 2%+ cash back cards. If ApplePay is required to earn 2%, then I'd say the majority of those cards are better; my biggest expenses every month are bills (phone, internet, insurance, oil, electricity, etc) and I don't think I can use ApplePay to pay any of those.
I guess this means there's no minimum monthly payment?

E.g. generally a credit card will have a minimum of, say, $29/mo., if you have a balance of maybe $500... if you have a balance of $10K the minimum might go up to $129 or something. And if you don't pay the minimum, you're hit with the late fee.

I never really understood the purpose of minimum monthly payment, except maybe it's useful in proving you're not a complete deadbeat, and also probably not dead? Getting rid of it does seem like a consumer-friendly innovation maybe?

Everything is a hallucination, since everything is an internal representation ([1] direct vs indirect realism). The real question is why do these hallucinations seem consistent enough to generate a shared world/consensus reality. I think David Pearce answers this well [2].

We get up in arms about it because we think that it's unethical in all but the last case. Society as a whole should be publicly deciding which personal transactions are forbidden, not the payment processing platform.
"I think a lot of people underappreciate that they are a chemical computer and that therefore their feelings and decisions are chemical reactions."

That "we are a chemical computer" is one of many possible ways of understanding what we are, and not any kind of certainty.

There are plenty of people who fully understand and appreciate this reductionist view of humanity, but just don't agree with it.
If you control everything that runs on the system, it works just fine as an execution model.

It works much less well when random apps are free to take ownership of the CPU and never release it. :)
So you did inform yourself about Apples technical implementation of those services and the implications for privacy, or did you just make an uninformed guess to post something?
I for one love this card and Apple’s direction. I’ll be signing up ASAP.

No fees. No penalties. Baked into iOS via the wallet and cash back available daily? Count me in!
Agree. It’s easily a $60/mo investment to get a properly tested, refined dosage.

Much more expensive than say a $5/mo Wellbutrin or Lexapro generic.
From my personal experience from startups to medium companies to top tech companies in the U.S, most of the developers turn to be managers because they are too stupid to write code properly. ( I will not say all, because I have seen some very very few exceptions: great managers)
What can you possibly object to about how it runs on linux? Its wholly reasonable that kde apps all build on the same foundation rather than each one bundle their own version of libraries.

If the entire rest of your desktop happens to be based on gnome for example you end up with *doctor evil expression" HUNDREDS OF MB of extra libraries once the first time you install a kde app. Perish the thought.
You are no longer an individual contributor (nor will you be evaluated as such) but are now considered part of the leadership cadre. That's now your life and sure, you might be able to set aside a bit of time to code and try to keep up but, and this is a big one, you won't be able to.

It is a career change and not one everyone wants or is suited for. It's like an athlete becoming a coach or gm, it doesn't usually end up well. My personal experience is that I tried it for a couple of years and realized I wasn't cut out for management (various reasons). For me I find that team lead is were I'm happiest, bonus if the manager above you is someone who wants to be there and understands what a manager is / should do.

Good luck

iOS “Versus” JavaScript: How to Learn from Other Programming Communities
It's not just that paper. There are many papers from many groups that have failed to detect neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of adult humans. Even groups who's work is based on trying to find it have concluded it probably doesn't happen. They did not want that result.
Exceptional explanation!
I still use an SE. It's by far the best phone that I've ever used, though I certainly have not used every model from every manufacturer. I bought a couple of spares because I like it so much.

The #1 reason I like it is because of the size. I'm a big person -- around 6'3 and large hands even for my height, and I just don't see how I could ever enjoy using a phone larger than an SE. I have used larger phones, Apple and other, and I can't stand it.

In fact, I just last night found my old iPhone 2, which going from the last photos on there I hadn't used since around 2011. That phone feels so good in my hand. The round frame is so nice. The size is perfect. The heft, seems a bit heavier than the SE, feels excellent and solid. If I could have a smartphone as small as this one, but with the guts of even the SE, I would be ecstatic.

I don't miss the skeuomorphism and, I don't know, like a kind of jelly aesthetic(?) of the UI and icons and such. Very funny to see now. (Looks like iOS v 3.0 (7A341). I also think that was the last iPhone I used a jailbreak on. Kind of makes me want to do that again...
That makes sense. Some banks offer the ability to track all accounts in one place, but my bank’s implementation is not that good and I haven’t found a good app I can trust to do it.

I'm not sure what kind of noise you're being exposed to, but if you're in the USA, OSHA requires your employer to buy you PPE.

It's possible that escalating a "buy me PPE" request to the company lawyer could raise a few eyebrows into exactly what conditions you're being asked to work under.

libinput works pretty much perfectly for me, both on a Thinkpad X240 (Synaptics PS/2, FreeBSD psm(4)) and a Magic Trackpad 1st gen.

The only issue I have is that it's too conservative about starting to recognize gestures. On macOS, you can quickly transition from scrolling to pinching/rotating and it knows what you want. On libinput, you have to very deliberately stop scrolling, put two fingers into a pinch position, and start pinching.
That worked really well for me when I was single. But once you have a family with small children, keeping all snacks and junk foods out of the house is a different challenge.

I really had to drastically up my game because my old strategy of not eating what wasn't there didn't cut it anymore.
The chapter raises the question of the semantics of

{
var a = "outer";
{
var a = a;
}
}

and

{
var a = a;
}

. Some programming languages have the idea of "let rec" versus "nonrecursive let." In Haskell, `let` is recursive, and because Haskell is lazy, `let a = a` is a nonterminating computation. In OCaml, `let` is non-recursive and `let rec` is recursive, and only certain recursive definitions are allowed. (You can do `let rec a = 0::a`, but not `let rec a = a`.)

Scheme has `let`, where none of the variables are in scope for any definition, `let*`, where each variable is in scope in the successive definitions, and `letrec`, where all of the variable are in scope for all definitions. According to http://www.r6rs.org/final/r6rs.pdf, Scheme initializes letrec'd variables to a "black hole."
Any of the regulations predate most digital communications so there are a bunch of obsolete rules specifying the maximum symbol rate for digital transmissions rather then restricting the bandwidth which is what one actual cares about for sharing the available frequency space. This restriction artificially precludes use of many modern transmission schemes and hamstrings experimentation.
> People in this thread are repeating the myth that exercise is a treatment for depression, when all the evidence we have shows that it probably isn't.

Thank you for clearly stating this.

Depression is not "Gee, I've been feeling tired and blue for a couple of days," but it is commonly confused with "short term, mild melancholy".

Depression is a serious illness and needs to be understood and treated as such.
It adds a new discussion! That discussion is titled, "Is sk0g an overbearing asshole?" Let's jump in and find out what HN thinks!
I agree. And the touchpad is what is stopping me from say, getting a System76 laptop or an XPS13.

I had done some investigation on this before. After all, if System76 is open software and hardware, I should be able to get an add on right?

Not so fast. It seems part of what makes the Mac touchpad so good is a combination of software and hardware.

Microsoft is taking a stab at this. What they had been doing was treating touchpads as a mouse device ... but the hardware gives hints on gestures, so they have been improving their drivers to allow for better experience with the touchpad. (Rather than emulating a mouse device using a touchpad).

The hardware is a bigger block. Apple holds key patents on their touchpad, including the use of textured glass. The glass gives the experience a different feel, but I bet it also smooths out the signals being sent to the software driver. I don't know for sure -- but even say, my Samsung Chromebook, which has a decent touchpad, still doesn't feel the same as my Mac's touchpad.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/13/05/14/apple-wins-utilit...

"More importantly, the patent calls for, in one embodiment, a capacitive track pad with an etched glass surface. Because of its unique properties, and its non-conductive nature, glass allows for high levels of control during the manufacturing process."

"For example, traditional glass has a surface with a high friction coefficient, meaning it resists slippage, making it a less than suitable candidate for trackpad use. However, glass can be made to have a low friction coefficient by etching, sand-blasting, honing, or other methods. This makes the surface smooth and easy to navigate with a finger."

https://www.howtogeek.com/286905/what-is-a-precision-touchpa...

"Traditionally, Windows PC touchpads were implemented in a more one-off way. When you moved your finger across the touchpad, the touchpad driver has to look at the input and convert it to mouse input. The touchpad appears as a normal external mouse—either a USB or PS/2 mouse—to Windows itself. PC manufacturers have to tune the touchpad for their hardware, and the driver is responsible for handling the input. If the touchpad uses multi-finger gestures or has palm rejection support so you don’t accidentally move the cursor while you’re typing, this all has to be implemented by the touchpad driver."

"Microsoft decided to move towards a more standard approach starting with Windows 8.1. It created the “precision touchpad” specification along with touchpad company Synaptics. A PC with a “precision touchpad” doesn’t do all the hard work in its own hardware drivers. Instead, it sends the raw touchpad data to Windows itself. Windows is responsible for reading the input and processing the gestures. Windows understands your PC has a touchpad and approaches it intelligently. The touchpad doesn’t just pretend to be a normal mouse."
Yep, it's always possible to have a mismatch in assumptions. That one definitely bit me as well. What's important is that the learning curve is not due to arbitrary rules, it's a faithful application of the logic of the macro.

Remember that what is being passed through the threading macro is not the request, but the handler function itself. Each middleware takes the old handler, wraps itself over it to do things before and after the old handler. The threading macro is not a representation of the path your request will take, it is a way to build up a chained function that represents your final handler, which will then receive the request. Suddenly the ordering makes perfect sense :P
> In theory losses on derivatives would be offset by gains in the value of Apple’s underlying business. But the sheer size of these positions gives pause for thought.

What's the point of this article? Apple is so big that its derivatives for protection from FX volatility are so big?

What does the author suggests here; that they stop protecting against FX volatility?

They start taking unrealistically large amounts of time to deal with their catalogs. For instance, with a 500 TB dataset, Restic on my (128 GB ram) server took over 4 days to do its prune operation.

No, people are wondering why cryptocurrencies haven't actually solved anything yet.
That's the thing: I don't want to have dim background. In fact, I would rather prefer a bight background.

The main reason that could be due to the fact that a bright background forces the pupil to narrow, making the text sharper for older people.
What distinguishes a hallucination from a perception of a real thing? I'm hoping it's not simply the criteria of "anything without a rational explanation is a hallucination"

A man who saved Japan's iconic cherry blossoms from extinction
Absolutely people take politics into account when deciding to see a movie. I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all.

I suspect that RT was surprised when that feature was used the way it was. Politics was probably not what they are thinking about. They are just trying to provide a review aggregator. I doubt they really though through the implication of what "I want to see this movie" might mean.
I'd love to see this happen. I know Windows's support of the touch pad is not as magical as macOS's when running on a MacBook.

That said, I don't know if your request will be quite fruitful. It comes across as too "I'd like to run this project if you want to help out and here's how we will run it". Instead, I think what you need to do (if you could) is start the technical work yourself and get others to help out.

If I knew how to fix the touch pad issue, I'd probably just do it independently or else find someone else technical who can help out and we could do it together. I wouldn't be looking for a PM (and the timeline or project plans is kind of a turn off for a side project). Anyway, I hope you're able to find someone who can help you out.
> Screen readers provide a variety of navigational tools for drilling into page content. They don't just read text.

And CSS is also used to provide navigational tools for drilling into page content. For example, putting navigation panels on a sidebar rather than in between the header and the content. That's not just done for aesthetics, it's done to make the information on the page easier to understand. But if your brilliantly-designed page layout breaks when zoomed in, then that is a barrier which disabled people will face that abled people will not. By doing accessibility testing with CSS disabled you will not be able to test the accessibility of such navigational features.

Sure, they could use a screen reader instead, but maybe they don't want to use a screen reader. Maybe page zoom is enough for them normally and that's what they prefer. By not taking accessibility into consideration when creating the visual design of the page, you are basically saying that the visual design of your page is crafted just for the needs of abled people, and disabled people should have to use special tools to access your content. That's inaccessible.

> I am not really sure what you are arguing. You can have great CSS and great accessibility at the same time.

You have my point backwards. I am arguing that you can't have great accessibility with bad CSS. Thus you need to do your accessibility testing with CSS enabled (just like how your clients who have disabilities will be using it).
(You can generate one, though, if you plan to buy something from a site that does not yet support Apple Card but takes 16-digit credit card information.)
Google has no business writing a programming guide for something they aren't competent for; the guy who wrote this is about as clueless as they come when it comes to shell programming, for example he thinks using eval should be forbidden for security reasons.

Well, fundamentally, neurogenesis is just another form of cell division. The most well known disease of cell overproliferation is cancer. Most brain cancers are of the glial cells (i.e. not neurons, but their support cells). There are some exceptions (e.g. some types of medulloblastomas).

But factories won't physically move at all. As costs change, makers will just spend money to create new factories wherever costs are lowest -- labor, raw materials, power, regulations, shipping. The old factories (and companies) will close, as they did in the US starting in the 1960's, and new ones will arise somewhere else, usually run by someone else.

The effect will be the same though: the site of manufacturing will change. But like the Star Trek transporter, no matter actually gets moved.

I don't know why back-to-back SSL proxies were never afforded an officially sanctioned mechanism for explicitly delegating trust. The alternative is this "I know you're lying, but I love you too much to leave you" mentality.

If you're asking package managers to facilitate such a morally compromised relationship, your best bet is to make user intent explicit and circumscribed. One way to signal that intent might be to adopt a trust-on-first-use approach:

> rustup --detect-mitm
MITM thumbprint: 567d3e4c...
> rustup --permit-mitm=567d3e4c...

Not that that would be easy to do, mind you.
Telegram syncs history through its own cloud, so essentially yes.
> The only security measures that are worth implementing are, obviously, the ones which work.

Which is why I don't think the right answer is taking steps which ensure users won't install security updates. The scenario you mentioned is better addressed by other means — CA pinning, certificate transparency — and, unsurprisingly, those are the measures being implemented on a wide scale.
The same applies to the Platinum Card- it defaults to being a charge card but they offer people a built in credit card as well. The interest rate on it is insane though, so even though I have it as an option I've literally never used it as a credit card.
