The problem with chargebacks is that they're mandatory, even in cases where the seller is more trustworthy than the buyer. Then you end up with all the losses associated with buyer fraud even if the overwhelming majority of legitimate buyers would have enough faith in the seller to waive the ability to conduct a chargeback in exchange for a discount in the amount of the fee that has to be charged to cover them.

The fee should be on the customer side and they should have a choice whether to pay it per transaction. Paying for insurance is fine, being forced to pay for it when you don't need it is not.

Am I the only person more concerned about the new "Find my Mac Feature"? Call me a cynic but this feels like it has all kinds of privacy problems.

"The new Find My app combines Find My iPhone and Find My Friends into a single, easy-to-use app on Mac, iPadOS, and iOS devices. Find My can help you locate a missing Mac — even if it’s offline and sleeping — by sending out Bluetooth signals that can be detected by Apple devices in use nearby. These devices then relay the detected location of your Mac to iCloud so you can locate it in the Find My app.

It’s all anonymous and end-to-end encrypted so no one, including Apple, knows the identity of any reporting device. And because the reporting happens silently using tiny bits of data that piggyback on existing network traffic, there’s no need to worry about your battery life, your data usage, or your privacy."
You're daring them to bust you for it.
I'd argue that:

o it is

o it's going to get a lot worse faster than many expect (and most are prepared for)

o we need to consider / encourage social rearchitecting globally, not just within each country's borders
ASK HN: Do you use any apps to analyse/reflect on your thoughts?
Apple has far more insidious control over the iEcosystem then Microsoft did during its brush with the 1999 anti-trust courts. This is bad for developers, and may be bad for users.

Facebook owns ~95% of the 'social media' market in the US. (And is proving surprisingly capable at buying its way out of irrelevancy.) This may be bad for advertisers, for users, or for competitors.

Nice to have the product validated, but never fun when a giant just duplicates your business
I don't disagree but the movement has been to deregulate these exact examples. A customer can literally buy electricity from a provider one thousand miles away at a cheaper rate if they live in a deregulated area.
Forgive my naivete, but based on what I've seen elsewhere I think this administration is so incompetent that they can't get the levers of government to do much of anything, unless it's unilateral actions like tariffs. So I'm not sure that much of the choice to pursue this even comes from temporary political appointees.

Some of the Democratic candidates (e.g. Warren) also support similar measures, so it's not required that this is purely a political play.
It's getting coverage [on the website of the company that provided the API that was used for the app] _because_ of the age , that's why the age is in the headline, it's a gift-wrapped marketing win.

This isn't to denigrate the work of either of the two kids involved: the program produced is interesting and fun, the encouragement is awesome, and they've lucked out with this publicity and should milk it for all it's worth.
Obviously it's hard to get data on this, but my intuition would say that it's not not-wearing-helmets that contributes to their active lifestyle. Rather I think it's more about:

- Pedestrian- and bike-friendly design of cities. Not just bike lanes, but everything else -- water, food, restrooms, aesthetics, compactness.

- Overall healthy food culture to begin with

- General social/cultural values for physical activity

The US, in contrast, embraces a culture of fast food, fried food, lounging on couches watching TV, massive parking lots and strip malls, and getting from point A to point B via a freeway. Cities are terribly designed for pedestrians and bikers, often lacking even simple amenities such as adequate public restrooms, drinking water, healthy food options within walkable distance, and public transportation for when you get tired.

Biking or walking across most European cities is a pleasant experience.
You haven't heard of Shortcuts I guess? Read this and the following pages: https://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-12-the-macstories-rev...

With iOS 13 it gets added as a default app and the shortcuts can be run automatically by triggers, so it's like a more user friendly and natively integrated version of Tasker.

It seems like the triggers in iOS 13b1 are Time of Day - Alarm (Stopped or started) - Apple Watch workout - Arrive/Leave Location - Connect to CarPlay - Airplane Mode - WiFi - BlueTooth - Do Not Disturb - Low Power Mode - NFC Tag - Open App (ex. “When I Open Reddit”)
Oh, good, I'm not the only one who does this.

(Hopefully I can remember this tip next time I suddenly realize I have 200+ tabs.)
Even if you only develop for iOS at the start, the nice part of RN is the promise of simplified porting. So while the number of people targeting multiple platforms at the start may be low, the number who would consider it "on the roadmap" (or possibly on the roadmap depending on the app's success) is pretty high in my experience.
I'm in a similar boat.
> It’s all anonymous and end-to-end encrypted so no one, including Apple, knows the identity of any reporting device.

That should answer privacy concerns. They probably have a disable feature too.
This is pretty cool, it helps to see things moving. I've got an app for the iPad that does this for a zillion knots. Of course it isn't as funny as the Ylvis youtube video on the trucker's hitch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUHgGK-tImY) :-)
That’s a non answer. There must be a structural definition, otherwise who gets to decide?
The argument is more, Google will try this data to its advantage. This may be convenient for you or even sometimes a real advantage, but there will also be situations where they use it in a way which is advantageous for them and a disadvantage for you.

Let's make up an example. Google scans emails with your purchases and their frequency and accumulates a pretty good understanding of your purchasing power and income situation. This can, for example, be used to sell advertising space for ads which are geared towards a specific income strata.

So far so good.

But the data is also in principle open to companies like credit reporting companies. But let's drive it further, your landlord might be interested in the data because it tells him precisely how much he can increase the rent before you move out and rent something cheaper.

A counter-argument which I see often is that companies like Google and FB do not sell personalized data abut people because data is in some way capital for them. But cases like Cambridge Analytica show quite clearly that FB was already exchanging personalized information against data. It is only slightly simplified to say that they are already selling data.
An overly-censored troll subreddit [1] is far from being evidence of anything, much less voting stances for bipartisan politics in legislature. In fact, any subreddit for that matter is not a good indicator.

iOS/iPadOS does have a workflow subsystem, which is how the now built-in Shortcuts and Siri Shortcuts work. What Apple needs is to offer more triggers for intents to be used like, as you say, a device being connected.
Would you be comfortable with children or elderly people taking the lane though? "Vehicular cycling" has been around since the 1970's, and in practice it doesn't work.

Protected bike infrastructure gets more people cycling, of all ages and abilities, because the number one reason people cite for not cycling is not feeling safe around cars.

Telling them "you're really safer in the lane" doesn't work to allay their fears, and as the study showed, isn't even true statistically.
I didn’t know the MGIF acronym although the attitude is something I pretty much take for granted. If I’m on a narrow road with a car behind me, I mostly expect the driver will try to squeeze past me even though they won’t be significantly faster.
I think it’s also a strong statement of your position when it comes to bribes.

A shakedown for a bribe is a negotiation. If a person is told “pay this $100 fee right now or I’ll have to take you in” and says “no”, the cop may lower the price, raise the price, threaten more, or follow through on the threat to try to get the person to pay up. But if you have a piece of paper that says “I am so against bribery that I carry around pieces of paper that say so” it makes the cop lose hope of getting the bribe. At that point, why bother with the work of arresting them?
I would guess it only works if there is a minimal power imbalance, and the person being bribed is in a good mood. I doubt this will get your heat turned on in the winter for example.
For the past week I have been frustrated by an opensource code of a deep learning paper. This type of things are so common in academia. The particular code I looked at has missing documentation, hardcoded local paths, broken dataset download links and broken pretrained model download links. I have to fix bugs before the code can run. I'm very curious how did the author run that code with the bugs.

I call them insincerely opensourced projects.
I run an ecommerce website in France, and I use Stripe (french account), and I get a couple of chargebacks per year. Usually, it's the customer who gets his CC stolen, blocks it and declares all the transactions in the timeframe as fraudulent.

FWIW, I have had 10 chargebacks and lost the dispute for each of them even with the delivery address matching the CC name and the proof of delivery...
But I will pass on this protection, the price is way too high for us.

https://www.fastmail.com/about/jobs/2019-04-clientdev.html

We're looking for an Email Client Application developer to join the FastMail team in our Center City Philadelphia office.

Together with the rest of our team, you'll work on our email services FastMail, Pobox, and Topicbox. When the vast majority of people get email for free, the reason people choose a paid service is because they value both privacy and a great user experience.

You'll be working on our best-in-breed mail clients, providing super-fast, powerful access to webmail, calendars, contacts and more. You’ll work with our collaborative team of front- and back-end developers, designers and researchers. Improving our customers’ interactive experience, keeping it secure and a delight to use is what we do, every day.

Our interfaces are built upon our own Overture framework and the new email standard JMAP. It gives us full control from top to bottom to build the right solutions to difficult problems. If you've worked with other MVC application frameworks, like Apple's Cocoa, you should find Overture easy to pick up.

You'll have the opportunity to work at many levels:

* building features from scratch with our design and product teams

* optimizing and improving existing code

* tracking down and fixing elusive bugs reported by customers

Email us at jobs@fastmail.com to introduce yourself and tell us why you would be a good fit for the job! This job requires clear communication, so that message is part of your application, but please also include a PDF of your resume.
How do you choose a developer to build you a custom website?
Honestly, I think the SSD size is okay. 512 would have been better but considering this is fully expandable, it's much cheaper to manually upgrade the SSD to whatever you like with after market SSDs anyway vs Apple charging more for it. Also the people who are looking to buy such a beast aren't going to be price sensitive. So this lets them price it at $5k.
We're seeing lots of comments from current bike commuters, representing a survivor bias. Protected bike lanes are built to encourage people who are currently too scared to ride on a regular bike lane.
Yes that’s exactly overfitting the bootstrapped samples, thus the high variance.

The « variance » won’t just magically vanish as you average things out[1], you need to change the scale and check out the asymptotic law of your estimator (CLT, Kolmogorov-Smirnov… etc.) and confront it to your data.

[1] the variance of the estimator itself vanishes thanks to LLN (in case of convergence), but that’s not actually the quantity of interest

Edit: don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that RFs are good or bad, just reacting to the bias/variance thing.
I found the invoice a while ago for the professional desktop publishing setup that my parents bought in 1993...a Quadra 800 mac, upgraded video memory, a flatbed scanner, b&w laser printer, a 20" monitor, a 14400 modem and some kind of fancy magneto optical drive or something for FedExing large files. Total price was $13k at the time.
Now it's `one_hot_focus x W1 x (one_hot_context x W2)^T`. So we still pick one row of the matrix from the focus and context embeddings, but they're separate embeddings.
I had no idea how big Germany is, or how it compares to US states.

Germany is a bit bigger than New Mexico, but a bit smaller than Montana. If it was a US state it'd be 5th by size.

I won't speak for other countries, but in The US leisure and general livability are commodities now, not a part of life. The talk about shorter work weeks feel to me like they're rooted in growing fears that these commodities are pricing out many in the "professionals class." This isn't meant with snark, but it's an uncomfortable conversation for everyone. As we stand today there are plenty of people, fully employed, who don't even have a savings let alone time for leisure. I don't think we working professionals will ever see anything meaningful change in working time until we can have the larger conversation about why we work, why we value it, and who should benefit from it.

Driving on the Autobahn is actually quite relaxing when you got three lanes.

On the right there are all the trucks, which aren't allowed more than 80km/h.

On the left all the speeders going as fast as they like.

In the middle you get along with 120-140km/h.

It's not a transparency issue, this dark pattern exists everywhere. You advertise "New X starting at $x" which is low enough to attract customers. But the thing you sell for $x is actually lacking in some small but important capacity making it unattractive for actual use. Then you sell an upgrade for the target price and customers are more willing to pay because it feels like they're paying a small premium for the thing they want.

It's a neat psychology trick. Customers are far more receptive to upsells when they're the one doing the upselling.
Using this as a counterargument is absurd - it's not reasonable to assume qualitative data is compared and contrasted in a vacuum by itself; this is a good example of how perfectionism and statistics leads to failure.
Most of the US charges against Assange, like hacking, are also crimes in the UK.

He made himself subject to the jurisdiction of the US when he decided to try and decrypt US classified information. This is also why the Russians were detained. They made themselves subject to US law when they decided to get involved in US elections.

If I conspired, from California, with people in Tibet to circumvent Chinese law, I also would not expect to be detained by U.S. police.

That is because the US does not have an extradition treaty with China, so it doesn't matter what Chinese crimes you are accused of committing. Though generally, the US would not extradite for political crimes, so if your Tibetan activities involved organizing political resistant or independence movements, you would be protected by the First Amendment while in the US.
> GW Autobahn Rule 2: Double check your side-view mirror before moving into the left lane!

This was the biggest difference I noticed while driving on the Autobahn; driving in UK and doing 80-90mph, you get used to looking in the mirror and judging how much time you have to overtake, cars in the distance probably won't be doing much more than 20mph more than you.

On the Autobahn I found it much harder to judge how much time I had to overtake, as they could be doing 50+mph more than me, and they'd go from barely visible in the distance to very close much faster than expected.
welcome to earth. we apologize for the mess.
I think they demand the focused work at similar hours, which is very mentally drowning for very many people.
Future versions of macOS won’t include scripting language runtimes by default
From the macOS 10.15 Beta Release Notes:

> Scripting language runtimes such as Python, Ruby, and Perl are included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software. Future versions of macOS won’t include scripting language runtimes by default, and might require you to install additional packages. If your software depends on scripting languages, it’s recommended that you bundle the runtime within the app. (49764202)

> Make the case that we're better off having ONE giant social network, ONE giant online retailer.

That's a straw man. I see no need to assume that a case needs to be made for one or many social networks or online retailers. I understand you think there is one, but I think this is an odd "choice" you believe we are supposed to somehow make as a society through government. Why are we (you) saying we need legislators or courts to decide what the exactly correct number number and size of social networks is? Like it or not, it seems the people have spoken. We want a few large social networks that are owned by publicly traded companies, and many small, esoteric ones very few people have heard about.

> How often are promising young product or service companies bought out by giant companies just to be left to dry on the vine, no longer a threat to their new owners?

They don't have to accept those offers. If they really wanted to "threaten" these companies rather than seeking to be bought, they wouldn't have been bought.
Once the government starts meddling with websites and IT there won't be any stopping it.
And the 'American' ideology hasn't? What about the people killed in CIA-lead coups in South America? What about when the US overthrew a government for a fucking banana company? Hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Iraq war? Vietnam?

Millions of people starve every year because capitalism 'allocates' significantly more food to rich westerners rather than the billions in the global south. Do those people count? Do they not work hard enough?

I've studied history and I learned the most savage ideology is American capitalism.

Before you comment, I don't like the USSR or the CCP, so skip whatever tired retort about "STALIN/MAO KILLED 193272 BILLION PEOPLE" you're inevitably thinking of.
Yes, but thats also what happens in the normal formulation, no? So the second weight matrix actually are our context embeddings?

No it was the "Antitrust Paradox" by Bork who made a very compelling argument that at the time trust busting was too aggressive and we should focus not on the effect of monopolies on competitors but on consumers.
