Disclaimer: Slightly off-topic rant about why I as a consumer will always avoid Stripe:

Will they now not lie about wire transfer being US-Only and accept the debit card they say they accept?

My one interaction with Stripe was absolutely horrible, lost my vendor which is otherwise great a (subscription) sale and will take a lot of effort to right.

Edit: Right, it wasn't just errors, but it just didn't work with any message. One time the credit card number field just became red and shook.

Yes, I'm outside of the US. But was using a card from a provider that was listed as supported. I found no qualifying statements anywhere (in fact I found about no statements meant for end users digging through the Stripe website) and help texts on the page were non existent or utterly useless.

Days of pain trying to pay a damn invoice. The folks at Notion were nice enough to void it, but I ended up switching to dynalist.io for my notes anyway because my trust was sustainably broken.

This experience gives me the impression that Stripe are utterly incompetent in their core business, accepting money.
I don’t pay much credence to every random class action suit.

They can even be forgiven for having a systemic hardware issue that only becomes apparent once you have millions of devices out there. The keyboard issue is different. They knew they had an issue when they released the 12” MacBook but they kept introducing new models with the same issue. They could have easily just done a speed bump and kept the 2015 design. No one was clamoring for USB C or the Touch Bar.

Even though I think AntennaGate was overblown and they did keep selling the GSM iPhone 4 with no changes, they did make changes to the design nine months later for the CDMA iPhone 4.
Worth a read to see how this is one of the most misleading headlines of all time.

He's not a student if he's never set foot in the school. In fact, he wasn't even an American citizen. He just got accepted to the school.
Tutoring. Not anymore but back in the day. It also inspired me to kick off the project www.solvio.org
Can relate, I live next to my X1 Extreme lenovo laptop. God bless its keyboard.
TFA arguments seem ... ill informed. "Not a replacement for music?" Uh, ok. Entertainment is more important than information? sure bro....

I don't care for podcasts either.

(1) Most are too infomation-lite and too long. I can read far far far faster than someone can speak.

(2) Most adopt sort of a morning-show breezy chat back and forth, which drags the information content down.

I listen to one-two podcasts regularly, depending on mood. One is a 10-12 minute religious homily by a scholar; the other is a hour-long run by a criminal justice lawyer commenting on legal issues regarding the police and society. Both are information sources I can't get elsewhere easily.

I think of podcasts as talk radio.

FWIW, historically there were radio dramas - works of fiction created for radio. I am sure there are similar podcasts which are tons of fun for people.
> The standard 737 has an impeccable safety record

This is simply not true, Boeing has had safety problems with every generation of 737

Original: thrust reverser problems early in life, engine crack causing fires late in life,

Classic: changes to the instrument UI caused problems early in life (eg, the vibration gauges being reversed causing the kegworth disaster), rudder and empenage failures late in life,

NG: the wings randomly catching fire caused a grounding that required preventative maintenence policies to be required on the leading slats, early metal fatigue appearing a couple of years ago (on <10 yo aircraft)

MAX: see current post.
Battery life stinks on the older ones if you don’t have the extended battery that sticks out of the bottom of the machine
Let's be clear, it's about Syd Barrett.
This is exactly what "student-to-be" means.
I wrote some notes below (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19740475) but TL;DR is that this lets us support a lot of features that that the legacy version never could. If you’re looking for an embedded form, Elements work great (https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/elements/quickstart) — you can of course pair Elements with a lightbox/modal library to get a similar experience to the legacy version of Checkout.

> for some established language, like Rust. Working on a "young" language, you just miss the chance of contributing to an ecosystem that's already been in development for quite some time

Would you still make this point if you were comparing...

for example, Rust and C++?

... where Rust is the "young" language? Working on such a young language (and, FWIW, Rust is younger than Nim), you might miss the chance of contributing to an ecosystem that's already been in development for quite some time.

Not every language grows up with a silver spoon from Mozilla or Google.
It already has happened. Fast food chains have at least had to apply some humane standards to the meat producers they buy from thanks to pressure from the public. And many of them are also rolling out meat substitutes due to customer demand.

Most social change comes from the ground up, not the top down. Companies like Tyson aren’t inherently evil, they just prioritize profits. Tyson is investing in meat replacements right now because customers have said they want them.
It's not a random class action, it's about three generations of iPhones with power button issues that Apple sold whilst knowing they were faulty, eventually relying on a free repair program to fix them instead of solving the problem prior to sale.
Hahahahaha, oh wow, thanks for the laugh :)
Okay, well another way to think of it is that tesla has proven their choices for amount of usable battery to offer succeeds with half a million + cars on the road and billions of miles driven. Their battery warranty is excellent and time proven. My S is 4 years old and approaching 50k miles and no appreciable degredation. If an S and an etron has about 85kwh there's something to compare there.

Comparing to these other 2 companies, they are being way more conservative, or more likely they don't have as good a battery managment system and they are afraid of big costs down the line if the batteries do degrade. Either way, Tesla has a time tested much better system that provides much longer range with similar overall battery capacities.

It's not that audi can't do better. Just at this time Audi & Jaguar suffer tremendously in comparison.
OpenBSD and its associated daemons is fairly well engineered.

Systemd is not.
That clarifies a lot, then, thank you.

In this case, then, I don't think the article from the BPS accurately presented the research in the paper. The fact that they specified that it is clinical depression in the abstract is pretty important to the importance of this study. To elide that seems to bury the lede.
I don't multitask. I follow the philosophy of committing the entirety of my attention to one task at a time.

What about the iMac Pro? Feels like a great machine to me without any compromises.
I played running back on my high school football team and based on my personal experience, I would say that on really good nights, when I achieved something that I would consider "flow state," it was closer to the information I needed being hyper available. I agree with you completely that my ability to move the right way existed in my subconcious all the time, but when I got into a flow state, it felt like the thing that changed was my interpretation of the world.

It would seem like the defense was moving more slowly, and like I was way more easily able to predict how fast they would get to a certain place and whether I could get there first, and when I got touched, I knew how to shift my body to minimize my chance of being tackled. And those nights, I always rushed for a lot more yards than the nights that I didn't feel that way.

As I'm describing it, it sounds like it might just be about semantics, haha! Maybe on those nights, I just let myself not think about it, somehow. As a high schooler, I was certainly not intrspective enough about it to turn it on and off, though.

But at least from my own subjective experience of those moments, it felt more like my perception of the world actually changed (almost like being on drugs), rather than that I was just calmly doing something I'd practiced a bunch of times, if that makes sense.
PayPal might be neither very cheap nor very trustworthy, but it sure is easy and quick.
To be clear: there's no assertion of real-time access to microphones anywhere. This is a quality team that has access to some presumptive subset of recorded data.

The headline and your interpretation are leaning very heavily on the "ZOMG SPYING!" angle, where... I honestly don't see it. This seems like pretty heavy spinning.

Yes, they should probably have a policy of scrubbing data better before voices get presented to human ears.

> Combining the knowledge of what you say inside with knowing where you live is different than the knowledge of a purchase you made and where you live.

Technically true, but... is it actually worse? I can see convincing arguments made either way, frankly.
OH! Stripe is the company that keeps bothering me about Apple Pay?

I've been getting this WordPress "error" about not having Apple Pay working.

I would never use an Apple product so I was wondering how I got that on my WordPress install.

Now I'm curious if Stripe had better competitors?
Musk says a lot of things that aren't true because he's unwilling to listen to expert advice. A lot of the "hell" that Tesla has been through the past year--especially with the logistics--are nonissues for everyone else because the solutions are either industry SOP are such basic tasks that expertise isn't required (like properly labeling your imported products...).

Rivian will be building products with Ford's assistance (and Ford will be building products using Rivian's tech). Ford has been building cars at scale for more than a century, and I'd bet a pretty penny that Rivian will take their advice on how to structure their manufacturing process.
Go higher. If you search for "high altitude wind" you'll get info from 20,000 feet, which is not at all the same as 20,000 meters. Past a point, the thinning atmosphere actually means less coupling and wind speed decreases. You'll note that tiny quote halfway through about it being difficult to get up to the required altitude of 20km. That's because the average wind speed bottoms out around 5 meters per second at an altitude between 20km and 25km [1]. Add in the thinning air reducing drag and, yeah, a solar-powered balloon can absolutely stationkeep at that altitude. Here's a wiki page with more links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_balloon_satellit...

As a long time Linux user, I keep thinking about trying a BSD variant, but I get hung up on two things.
1) Which do I pick? NetBSD? OpenBSD?
2) Hardware? I'm thinking about an old ThinkPad for programming, and it looks like OpenBSD at least should run fine on that. What's hardware support like overall?
In order to successfully replicate, the depression meme must get you to feel depressed in the future. Encouraging an interest in sad music can be a part of that cycle.
But are used car buyers, (or owners of 3+ year cars) having them repaired at the dealership? Most people I know go to 3rd party shops to minimize costs; the same motive that leads them to buy used in the first place.

I wonder how much the average dealership makes off repairs covered by warranty, compared to out of pocket repairs.
> I'm so so so tired of these articles.

What do you mean, isn't this the first article on this topic?

> So a dev can listen to conversations because they write software to transcribe voice to text?

That has nothing to do with this article. This article is about exact GPS/location coordinates, has nothing to do with "a dev can listen to conversations".

> Sigghhhhh....

I think you have misread the article, this is new information about a new topic. There's nothing repetitive about this news item and there's no need to sigh so heavily about people who care about privacy and the honesty of corporate statements.
I'd add to that having a cutout that disabled just the MCAS system from the electronic trim system. It seemed part of the problem in the crashes was that after the MCAS applied it's huge trim the forces were too high to manually recover so they turned the trim back on and MCAS started forcing the dive again.
Plenty Stripe users don't care a jot about Apple Pay, especially those in the B2B space - I consider it a real loss to have customers be redirected vs just showing a modal. As another commenter mentioned, it also means another step for the end user.

I understand the desire for a converged Checkout API and UI, but I still kind of wish there were 2 options - modal or redirect.
I'm pretty the term originated with BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems) which were patterned after a literal bulletin board. Back in the day we used bulletin boards for posting public messages. Seriously, before the internet we used to just stick pieces of paper to a cork board with a thumbtack that was displayed in public places.

From Wikipedia:

"The first public dial-up BBS was developed by Ward Christensen and Randy Suess. According to an early interview, when Chicago was snowed under during the Great Blizzard of 1978, the two began preliminary work on the Computerized Bulletin Board System, or CBBS. The system came into existence largely through a fortuitous combination of Christensen having a spare S-100 bus computer and an early Hayes internal modem, and Suess's insistence that the machine be placed at his house in Chicago where it would be a local phone call to millions of users. Christensen patterned the system after the cork board his local computer club used to post information like "need a ride"."
When people make criticisms of the HN community that apply just as much to any large sample of humans in general, I don't think they're really talking about HN.

Yes, I know that's a common way of doing things. Once you are out of warranty, imho the reason companies do this is just to force people to get stuff through dealers. I was replying to someone that said tesla was different because you were stuck in their world for parts etc. So it's not really different?

If you consider for a second if your breakfast taste preferences really justify the abuse and killing of an animal at least as intelligent as a dog, you might broaden your horizons enough to discover that there are plenty of delicious things you can eat for breakfast that don’t come with that black bill attached.
It's more time on the company side, if anything. Each hour of interviewee time probably costs two hours of interviewer time, and that's before accounting for hiring committee time, the cost of real estate for the rooms, recruiters, interviewer training time, etc.

I'm actually more productive with music that has a melancholy tone. But it has to be instrumental, human voices are extremely distracting.

> To be clear: there's no assertion of real-time access to microphones anywhere.

Well yes I know, I figure this data is likely years-old or whatever, I don't see how that matters? I didn't bring up real-time access and I'm well aware that Amazon doesn't (likely) even have that capability. Nobody here is asserting real-time access to microphones!

> Technically true, but... is it actually worse? I can see convincing arguments made either way, frankly.

Yes, it is much much worse, because it is a direct violation of their own statements about privacy. Amazon makes no statement about their box packers or labellers not knowing your address, because they obviously have to know that in order to put the label on or knock on your door.

But Amazon does make a privacy promise to not do what they are doing here. So they are totally different things and it matters due to customer expectation and their own written words.

Edit: I'm "posting too fast" and am not allowed to reply to the user below. I will state that I do care about privacy, I was simply taking the simplest debate stance to demonstrate that the two concepts are quite different (package delivery knowing your address and human reviewers of your voice commands knowing your address).

If you look at my comments on this article you will surely see that I care about privacy.
This is why you outsource; the executive that decided to use Accenture is most likely safe despite the failure.

Nobody got fired for hiring Microsoft or IBM for a project. The person who gets fired is the executive that says "we can do this in house" and comes up at 90-110% but stepped on the wrong board member's toes.
We have about 6.5 Billion people too many, all of the problems are the result of overpopulation.
Am I the only one who likes take-home assignments? Not for 50 hours, but I’d far, far rather spend some of my weekend comfortably coding on a chunky assignment than be asked stupid ‘cracking the coding interview’ questions in person.
I cannot fully agree on this. What is your definition of "shortage"?

From a supply/demand perspective, there is no such thing as a shortage. At least not without further qualifications. Prices adjust so that the demand meets the supply. In theory that should always be possible. Concept of a shortage per se does not have a place in this theory. You can only speak about a shortage/oversupply at a certain price level but such a thing has no significant meaning because that price level is just an arbitrary number.

Thus to speak about a shortage you must add some other components to your model. Those other components will always be partially subjective (i.e., what you want to maximize?) and fairly complicated. (I believe.)

In any case, one could for example argue that there are not enough engineers to fill the roles "needed" in the economy at a sustainable price. (What is "needed", though?) But I am very sceptical about such a claim, considering the huge profits many US companies are making, even the software companies for that matter.
In civil engineering, all construction contracts are usually based on FIDIC's Red Book. This way, everybody is used to a standard contract, from lawyers to judges, in whatever jurisdiction, nationally or internationally...
I highly doubt that the preference for male candidates was the only problem with the AI. The preference for candidates with ice hockey on their resume almost certainly also would have resulted in a preference for white candidates.
Or they're dumping money into Rivian so at some point in the future they can leverage Rivian's drive-train tech in whatever they want.
Compare Tesla's market cap to Fords. Tesla is far behind in producing cars in volume, service centers, repair parts, product development, making actual profits on a sustained basis. It's lunacy.

I get the same thing walking through San Francisco - ads for Cisco routers and "Network Security Solutions" obviously aimed solely at executives.
I think that sort of sad is still around, although I agree that Floyd was a rather special case of a popular chart-topping band putting it out. There's definitely a difference between broken heart sad and what I'd maybe call depression sad or ennui sad.
Interested to see what the PSD2/SCA implementation looks like. Stripe will go out of their way to avoid adding friction, but the requirements are not trivial.
I meant the HN headline. Looks like it got changed.
That comment wasn't particularly substantive, and arguably broke this site guideline: "Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Note, though, that it received corrective upvotes and is no longer downvoted. That's common, and is one reason why we ask users not to post like you did here. Such posts are not just off-topic distractions, they stick around as uncollected garbage once the thing they're mentioning no longer exists. This is in the guidelines too, so could you please review them? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I think this retelling of the story is over-simplified. It's a compelling story, but I don't know any competent engineers who give up on a whole project because of one setback. If this system never saw production use, it was because it's still not ready, or there were many other issues that aren't mentioned that led the team to give up, or because political winds shifted. Amazon is famous for killing projects quickly.
Indeed. I'm surrounded by Mac users and everyone is holding on to their old macbooks.

I don't see any claims about performance, but I would be very surprised if it was anything better than abysmal. In a modern neural network pipeline, just sending data to the CPU memory is treated as a ridiculously expensive operation, let alone serializing to a delimited text string.

Come to think of it, this is also a problem with the Unix philosophy in general, in that it requires trading off performance (user productivity) for flexibility (developer productivity), and that trade-off isn't always worth it. I would love to see a low overhead version of this that can keep data as packed arrays on a GPU during intermediate steps, but I'm not sure it's possible with Unix interfaces available today.

Maybe there's a use case with very small networks and CPU evaluation, but so much of the power of modern neural networks comes from scale and performance that I'm skeptical it is very large.
It would be an interesting project to produce a documentary of what goes on inside a tech company in this regard. The very fact that this stuff is so mundane to us _should_ be alarming to everybody else. Maybe actually seeing it would generate enough controversy that segregating data according to "need-to-know" would get higher priority compared to a new feature. Or maybe they would just stop buying these awful products.
Then again, when I was growing up, we did boys and girls sports separately :)
I wonder if we are actually describing the same experience in different ways. Maybe your "perception of the world changing" is my "letting your subconscious take over" (which would have the effect of the world looking/feeling different than normal).
