The NFL sees head injuries in the athletes that play for it as "the cost of doing business", so I have a feeling that they'd just cough up and move on, especially given the reputation they've had recently about minimizing punishments for domestic violence against women.
The RFC is far more useful in dealing with the word "should". It is used in the standards to mean something that is optional but strongly recommended ("there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item"), whereas in english the first definition that comes up is "used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness".

To me it seems that there could easily be confusion between these two interpretations.
That's how insurance works: it relies on the majority of activity being fine and only a minority of it actually needing insurance. If you could select only the transactions with high risk to be insured, they'd have to charge a lot more than 0.4%.
As someone who has family that still farms: the amount of equipment required to allow only 1% of the population to grow food is enormous. Are you seriously suggesting that it will be a trivial thing for farms that currently rely on manual labor to switch to large-scale mechanized practices? Most farmers I know have >1M USD in equipment, along with the required infrastructure to handle shipping/storing the crop.

So I don't see how they can avoid a process similar to what occurred for western farmers starting ~1900. They don't need to be competitive on a global scale, they need to find a profitable niche in their own countries. Additionally, increasing employment seems far preferable; likely developing local economies is the best way to increase standards of living rather than relying on foreign aid.

Also note that there are many crops even in the US that heavily rely on hand labor (typically fruit/vegetables). While it may not be feasible to compete with imported grains, I can certainly see how local farmers could effectively compete for these crops- which would likely also increase the diversity of foods avaliable in local markets.

How is it anything but a net positive for them to develop local industries; the increased economic output is likely to improve the entire local economies and doesn't rely on foreign aid (which can suppress long-term economic development).
>The Ásatrú faith also celebrates Old Norse mythology and its pantheon of morally ambiguous deities – gods such as Odin, Thor and Loki – that came to Iceland during the Viking Age, when the island was settled by Norwegian famers looking for new pastures. These deities were worshipped across this ‘land of fire and ice’ until the year 1000, when, under pressure from the influential Norwegian crown, the country abandoned heathenry and adopted Christianity.

The subtext from the BBC is interesting, the Viking gods are 'morally ambiguous deities', the arrival of christianity is summarised by 'the country abandoned heathenry'. Is worth noting that heathenry is still a synonym in english for 'uncivilised'. This is presumably to stand in contrast with some notion of the supposed moral certainty and civilisation of the Abrahamic god. The BBC should really be above playing team sports with religions, but I guess they just can't help themselves.
That little holiday time still baffles me. I've taken 15 days off this year and we're barely nearing mid-summer. That's not including the 8 bank holidays we get. I've still got another 10 to use before the years end, not including days in lieu from working overtime, and this is only my first year of employment. I know that the US isn't great for workers rights, but regardless that's incredibly shocking to me.

If I was expected to work 50 weeks in a 52 week year I don't think I'd ever get a full-time career. I'd probably run off and become a surf bum selling loom bands on the beach.

Dark mode has certainly a "cool" vibe to it. It reminds me much of when light text on dark (mostly black) background was the hype for cool internet pages in the late 1990s. Incidentally, this trend ceased to be much of thing over the course of a year or so – for some reason.
I do have server expenses that map directly to processing work done for individual customers, so there is a quantifiable amount of real money lost at times. But at the end of the day, I still don't want somebody's fourteen dollars enough to fight them for it (even if it means I also lose another $5 in real expense and a few more in chargeback fees).

But you're absolutely right. If it were physical goods or services, I'd fight those chargebacks for sure. (Though it'd be a lot harder for one of my deadbeat customers to plausibly claim that he'd "forgot that I mowed his lawn").

> Do you really think the green crt was a design decision??

I think the point they are making is, why would we have ever moved away from the technologically simpler option if it also happened to be a better design? What made us get rid of terminal colours in favour of black-on-white, when we could have just improved the design of the white-on-black colours?
> It's up to the American people to decide what they want for their country at any given time - the rest of the world has no power to make them do otherwise - as does any other country and I wouldn't want to force any country to take people they don't want to either.

A country with many allies is much more powerful than a country with none. This is a lesson that is taught before children enter school (play nicely with others), I don't know how this became an American attitude and I find it very disappointing and worrisome.

You often hear statistics like the US fund 25% of NATO, or something similar. I don't see how this is a bad thing, this means we have 4 times as much power than if we were not in NATO, because we supply the most we have the most control over the group, and because we play nicely with others and listen to the needs of other countries who have similar morals as we do.

You are the only one talking about a legal obligation, the article and everyone else is just talking about how this is not the behavior the world and US citizens would not like to see coming out of America the melting pot.

The whole point of a monopoly is that you can leverage it to allow unfair advantages that allow your products to be worse for consumers and they have no choice but to accept it. As long as Google has search and browsers locked down they will have an unfair advantage in the direction of the web, one definitely not in consumer’s favor.

Whether it’s the government’s role to break that up is a political question, but Google is most definitely a classic monopoly and the internet is worse off for it.
I'm not sure it's correct to say Soylent constitutes a lack of variety of nutrients. Soylent and similar products contain a balance of macronutrients (carbohydrate, lipids, amino acids), vitamins and minerals.

Eating a ketogenic (almost no carbs) or fruitarian (almost entirely carbs) diet, is much more likely to create an imbalance in types of gut flora.

How does that work? When I'm notified of a dispute, the first thing I do is go in and refund the charge. I still have to watch the whole dispute resolution process play out and have it be ruled against me.

How would I go about stopping it before it starts, as you seem to imply is possible?

Edit to add:
Does it even make a difference if I go in and refund the disputed payments? It sounds like I get dinged either way and the customer gets their money back either way. Should I save myself the effort?
I thought Yubikeys and other hardware keys were best practice?
> to have "cancelled 3 months ago, but for some reason we're still billing them" or to just plain decide that the last six months of charges were fraudulent

I've had both of these things happen as a consumer. Coschedule kept billing me for six months after I cancelled (and my accounts administrator didn't know we'd cancelled), and I had Experian in the UK continue billing me for six months after they'd disabled my account but hadn't told me. In the former case, they refunded it straight away once I pointed it out, and in the latter I had to escalate a little, and start talking about a small claims court, but they refunded it in the end.

I guess my point is, both of these are valid consumer complaints, and waving them away as being stupid consumers probably isn't that useful for anyone. Further down, in another comment, you imply that this is deceit / fraud.
I seriously hope nobody takes the advice in this article seriously.

Here are the conclusions you should take away from the article:
Don't use reduce to reimplement map.
Don't use reduce to reimplement flatmap.
Don't use reduce to reimplement groupBy.
Don't use reduce to reimplement filter.
The minMaxReducer is the only legitimate use of reduce in the entire article.

The above functions require less boilerplate code. With reduce you will have to write additional bookkeeping code for the accumulator and without mutable data structures [!] it would be incredibly inefficient.

[!] We are far away from functional programming at this point.

We are also exploring ways to expand Chargeback Protection to other integration options!
Yes, it will have knock-on effects, but a serious China slowdown is in and of itself no reason to cause recession pretty much anywhere.

Again, it could burst some kind of bubble and start a recession, but a China slowdown itself is not enough.

> eliminates most of the value

Is this really true or just perceived? How often is that optionality actually exercised? And I don't believe that most of the value is in it. The benefits to using good software that continues to be maintained by those using or supporting it is immediate.
0.4% is an extremely steep price for a company like mine doing over $2.5m in annual turnover (saas) which has a very low fraud rate. I actually think currently we pay less than that by doing nothing (meaning letting Paypal handle it, and losing every case).
However I'd gladly pay a few thousands per year for it, or be able to pay it on selected transactions (only US for instance).
Isn't that harder than replying to your last invoice mail with the words "Please refund this and cancel my subscription"?

Why involve the telephone?
Neat that you've done this for HTML5. Early Web browsers tended to do some of that (with less-rigorous semantics, some of which I approximated in my early HTML parser). Consequently, Web pages in practice often did, too. Maybe that could make manual writing of documents in HTML5 more practical. For bits of HTML embedded in code lately, I've preferred a simpler model and syntax using S-expressions, but I could see the implied tags as very useful for handwriting documents SGML-style.
That's what it seems like :o :P
I have also noticed a decent amount of new releases have both a Chinese and American production company associated with the movie, and there appear to be cultural and character references that resonate with both.

Pretty cool.
Exactly my reasoning as well.

Because when you look at broad trends you can see patterns among cohorts, and sometimes those patterns are important in economic and government policy.

That's the sad truth for a lot of modern compiled languages (I think Go is an exception). While I did not dig into their compiler internals, it just seems an inevitable consequence from a powerful language (Go is pretty simple in that regard). C++, Rust, Scala, Kotlin, Swift, they all have significantly longer compilation times compared to their predecessors. Probably that's the price we have to pay.

Respectfully, I think this article contains some really terrible advice. Based on his examples, I think his chief complaint should really be that programmers should stop writing unnecessary comments, which I’m actually okay with.

If you can’t write expressive code, own up to your failure and write a comment. You are responsible for the code you write, so never leave poorly written code unexplained.

While in theory it’s possible that every member of your team could write code that’s so expressive that it never need comment, in reality you’ll find that different programmers adhere to different naming/styling conventions and sometimes being able to see the author’s steps laid out in comments leads easier corrections to errors in logic or better refining of the process itself. Good code commenting practice means that new team members can more quickly adapt to the codebase, or even programmers who are coming back to their older work after some time or a major life event. Invariably there will be times where programmers naturally go through cycles of sprint/crunch and code cleanup, it’s the nature of the work.

The app on the left is Evernote and on the right is Memrey. Evernote sports the most traditional notebook type UI with a column of notes and an area to show the notes. Apple notes, simple note, and many others have this same design.

Memrey has the same infinite scroll list allowing you to select a note, but the interface loads 4 notes at a time on each page. So you see your note in full, and the surrounding context of notes. This makes it much easier to browse and understand your notepad. It is the type of thing that once you use this new UI, you will never want to go back to the traditional UI again.

Doesn't sound like they're implying that it's possible.

Sounds like they're allowing you to automate the dispute process but it'll still be a negative mark on your account.

Side note, are you getting anywhere near the number of disputes for this to matter to you? Seems like you have good refund policies and you'd probably be below the threshold for account termination.

If treated well I think they would appreciate it until suddenly they would stop appreciating it.

From an evolutionary point of view is definitely a (perverted) mutualism (perverted as in the artificial selection on cows make them quite unfit to human-free life).

On the appreciation side it would be relevant to know more about how cows see humans. I believe many cows in farms are quite happy and many (more) cows are quite miserable.

> Personally I doubt it, which makes calling it "mutualism" a euphemism.

Overall if we assume cows do not have a cultural understanding of "humans are going to kill us" this would look more like a projection of our society on them.

To better qualify parent's post: it's not that informed investors will target a small player specifically. They most likely won't as your instinct tells you, because there is no money in it. However, the sorts of strategies and algorithms that one could feasibly implement without having been in the industry for many-many years are very unlikely to beat the buy-and-hold strategy. The "simple" stuff has been by-and-large arbitraged away.

Do you think HN owners have contracts with some companies to keep them on the front page? I always see these links to BBC, New York Times, Reuters, Techcrunch, theregister.co.uk, etc. on the front page. Who upvotes this crap? These are regular news that don't belong on HN.

I think it's unlikely, but still it's annoying to see stuff like this here. I'm not against it, but it's always there. It got to the point that I started thinking about rtv like program for HN that has built-in recommendation system based on my favorites. Strong filters too. I know there is haxor-news, but it's not that. I want to be able to get a listing of stuff only related to my favorites and favorites of HN users I whitelisted.
Reason to Choose Python Development?
There is a lot of talk about mental issues in HN. Sometimes from a societal point of view, sometimes medical, etc. So it's part of that interest for people here, I suppose. There's a lot of talk about health, and nutrition too. HN is definitely not what I thought it was either.

Personally, I know a significant number of people ( not just in Japan ) who work from home, glued to a keyboard.

I do too on occasion -- as I assume is the case for many people on HN. But I must travel more than I like for work as well.

At any rate, these people always looking at a screen, they don't think of themselves as hikikomori. And mostly aren't, in fact they may have an uncle, or a son, or a niece, or next door neighbour, who really is, and makes life very, very difficult for people related to them, or living with them. So, not hikikomori, yet these work-from-home types can have close to zero interaction with the outside world other than a couple of holiday trips per year, and the occasional shopping weekend with wife / husband / partner.

I think some of them wake up one day and think they're going to end up like their neighbour. Others want to know how to get their son out of the room.

The thing is, hardly anyone talks in person to anyone else about it in so-called real life.

Maybe many in our line of work can be in situations that relate to the problem. Isolation in the age of hyperconnectivity is ironically very real.
The chargeback is one of the few tools consumers still have with real power. Sure fraud is still a problem, but it's a really uncomfortable proposition to start making chargebacks an abstracted cost sink for the corporations.

Of course the fact that this is an upsell line item means only big businesses will pay for it, the smallest businesses owned by the people just starting out will be the only ones who actually suffer punitively from chargebacks.

Some things shouldn't be streamlined. Some pain is good. This is a really unfortunate choice by Stripe.
