But I doubt that I could order $5000 worth of furniture, have it delivered, dispute the charges and then the vendor just shrugs.

But, I’ve never disputed charges outside of obviously being double charged. Most of the time, I’ll speak with vendor.
For one, you'll get the same problems as all the homeless pouring into California, or poorer Central Americans pouring over the border, and the subsequent backlash. Democracies will not support the sort of development model that China has pursued of massive wealth transfer and development of the hinterlands. Developed areas will want to wall themselves off but less developed areas will want populist policies. Add on top of that ethnic issues that would be easily exploitable by demagogues. More likely than not the country falls apart.

Don't be so smug, the US and EU are only getting a small taste of the sort of problems that China has been facing for several thousand years as a diverse centralized state, and are already resorting to the sort of things that China ended up having to do with respect to social control and stability.

This was a longitudinal study that which controlled for blood pressure. What about people for whom habitual heavy coffee consumption causes high blood pressure? The study just looked at MRI heart scans. This sort of interaction won't show up in that setting.
It's telling for the industry as a whole that the card companies failure to do their work properly still can result in extra charges to the merchant.

After all card companies have a tremendous amount of data at their disposal and are apparently able to detect a large percentage of fraud before a dispute is raised and yet do not pre-emptively block the charges or reverse the transaction.

I've been on the receiving end of these kind of dispute resolution processes and in spite of doing everything by the book we still ate quite a few chargeback fees on charges that to us looked just as legit as every other charge that passed through. (Not with Stripe though.)
Testing "Linux server architectures" without considering keepalive is worse than useless.

The outcome is so incredibly one sided that framing it as an unfortunate side effect of a culture clash is not exactly a nice thing to do.

I'm not a heathen preacher. I will counter falsehoods I see, but I let people discover the religion themselves. If I were to tell other heathens how to practice their religion, I would be just as guilty as a christian for being judgmental looking down my nose.

I don't use HN as a platform for"defending my spirituality". I engage when the topic comes up, but it is not my life mission to convert unbelievers.

I think this is another one of those massive divergences in culture coming to a head.

In SOME places, people are driving less and need to drive less. In other places, both farther suburbs and smaller areas, cars are no less essential than they've always been. In some cases of aging infrastructure in terms of public transit for cities that have it, suburbs are getting even more car dependent in places where you could have once been fine on transit (looking at you crappy DC metro system combined with extra development in housing).

Now, many of these places aren't dense enough for rideshare, scooters, or whatever else have you to be worth a damn. Alternately, in places like Phoenix, and loose cities with little transit, plenty of people still need cars, and rideshare just craps up the roads even more.

Curious to see how this ends, because I don't think it will go well.
Sharepoint was the solution to scale excel but it didn't seem to have been successful as a tool.

I've seen these trends around "Unbundling" Excel:

- Improve UX by specializing UI
- Increase automation with software integration

But given that Excel is acting in the guise of software, doesn't it follow:

1) Running business of Excel has many of the same problems as other software
2) Excel has some key advantages over other software

(By 1), I mean, QA, testing, deployment, etc...)

The article mentions that Excel doesn't need much onboarding. I don't think that's its only advantage. Also, to solve the general software development problems around Excel, one has to match the near-zero onboarding barrier of Excel, otherwise those solutions will get left behind.

Does the experience of Sharepoint bear this out?
> But there is, in this stylized example, a window between the TC40 and the dispute for the business to proactively investigate and possibly refund.

There is also a perfect opportunity for the IPSP to flag the transaction and reverse the transaction before it becomes a problem for the merchant.

That's quite a statement. I mean, sure, the entirety of why selectively inhibiting serotonin reuptake might affect psychological outcomes may be a bit fuzzy at the end, but there is a pretty solid theory here isn't there? The drugs work by selectively inhibiting serotonin reuptake. This leads to more serotonin signaling. Sure it gets a little fuzzy from there to how this mechanism affects mood disorders with various competing theories, but "unknown" is quite a stretch here.
Whether to curtail the use of fossil fuels should be determined by legislation. It is known that the use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming, but the public does not believe that banning fossil fuels is worth the cost.

I would appreciate if Apple did such things, categorizing email into "humans" or "advertising" or "bills". That would help a lot of people use email more than a style refresh.
Sort of misses the point. Despite the name, printing money isn't normally something one considers as "monentary policy", which is about interest rate setting and bank balance regulation. Yes, you can print your way out of a negative interest rate trap, because at its core printing money is exactly the same thing as deficit spending in the immediate term. So I don't see that's responsive: this is isomorphic to "just spend your way out".

Even in a very pro "freedom of speech" country like the US, an executive-appointed Supreme Court is already responsible for ruling on existing laws against speech which is integral to illegal conduct, speech which incites imminent lawless action, and there exists a tort system which enables individuals to be financially penalised for certain types of speech.

Have no idea why people suspect that interpretations of hate speech laws are any more prone to being revised to be used to silence anything which is against the official government line than any other type of speech restriction.
> does not exist for the purpose of letting folks create their own countries

Says who? this is an arbitrary interpretation.

Further, there is obviously no law about how and where to create a new country, as the UN by definition will defend the status quo as a union of sovereign nations. Most countries emerged violently and illegally in their beginning, and got recognized later (including the US).

The mojave is in the middle of what the world recognizes as a sovereign state, it would be a much more difficult starter and impossible to find allies.
Facebook’s acquisitions were ridiculed by most people at the time. They look like antitrust issues now because they were successfully integrated, something that was not guaranteed.

The first amendment comes afterward, but I have to admit I have no idea if there's any case law that it's unconstitutional to deny a visa on the basis of the applicant's viewpoints.
I have some questions for you. Is it possible to distinguish between someone who believes taxes are bad for society, or immoral, from someone who's unhappy about their tax bracket? Between someone who believes regulations do more harm than good from someone who is pissed off at a couple of minor regulations? Between someone who believes in experimenting with new forms of governance and someone who wants to dominate the poor?

Surely some of those ideas attract selfish people, but is it that unreasonable to think that a lot of them actually believe in the stated mission?
I think a smaller list would be where it isn't happening. mostly in small towns where independent journalism in independent newspapers still has an impact due to trusted local people working in them, although the death of print is rapidly quelling it.
Too much abuse potential, for instance, a software error could flag 'good' cards as 'bad' and cause a lot of headaches for other merchants.
> I have two hearts.

I usually don't trust Google, but on this issue I tend to see email as paper mail — it's inherently not private, and the overload of private information that goes through it is a problem regardless of Google's presence in the exchange.

I find the usual alternative, attaching identity to mobile phone numbers/SMS, even worse. Other alternatives, like WhatsApp, are proprietary, restrictive, and also harvest data from users.

In the heyday of paper mail, you wouldn't get a copy of your entire grocery receipt back in the mail. There was a lot of sensitive information (e.g. a credit card bill) but it was less fine grained than the information that leaks from order confirmation emails.

Maybe that's something merchants should be careful about.
> 2) Create laws to ban hate speech. This puts the government in charge of defining exactly what is and what is not hate speech.

At least in the US, this is not possible without a change in the 1st Amendment. Hate speech is protected by the 1st Amendment.

While I am troubled by what I consider to be an attempt to expand the definitions of hate, ism, and phobia for political gain, freedom of speech entails allowing people to advocate for limiting freedom of speech. Also, I'm not sure why it is reasonable to say that China's actions are a canary in the coal mine for the US and Europe. These are different continents with very different histories and cultures. What happens in one is not necessarily going to happen in the other.
Is there an alternative that runs everywhere (iOS, Android, webapp, etc) and provides productivity enhancements like email snoozing and cross platform contact integration?

> Ask them simple questions that they never asked.

This is key to teachinging about high-tech engineering: don't paint over vast swathes of the stack with "it just works" or "it automatically knows".

Take one specific thing it does, and drill down the pyramid, from high-level ideas about user intents way down through platforms and compilers and operating systems to wires and semiconductors.

There's nothing particularly magical about tech (apart from the fact that it often does what it's supposed to). The awesome part of engineering is all the work put in at all levels to make hugely complex stuff work together.

It is also reasonable to conclude that the Pandol was working. If the Pandol is working, then there is no need for hospitalization. If you had arrived before taking the Pandol, they would probably have just given you the fever reducer, seen it working, and sent you home.

I have a little C# 'game' I am working on where you can evolve images. The images are expression trees and I made al ittle "lisp" language you can edit in the game to edit your evolved images. I showed this to some 4th grade classes I was asked to talk to about programming as a career, and I let them pick what functions they wanted to try, "add, sign, multiply" etc and I would type those into the lisp and we would see what kind of images (and videos, I have a video mode too) resulted.

they had fun with it.
