Revolut isn't just a prepaid card. What they offer is very similar to Monzo, even if they started out differently. That's why they're competing with each other and it's fair to compare them.
Read the GPs link

"A 50p charge every day your account is overdrawn by more than £20, up to a maximum charge of £15.50 a month. No other fees, that’s it".

That sounds like a 50p a day fixed fee to me.

They can still charge a percentage, but that 50p per day (£15.50/ month)is £186pa on a potentially only £20 overdraft, I don't think they would get away with the equivalent APR.

In the context of the conversation, one current source of income was offered, so I think its reasonable at that point to label it their one source of income, other sources have been mentioned elsewhere on the thread though.
A while before the social media platforms emerged were bulletin boards which morphed into web based forums. You know, the one you sign-up and post to, that are usually focussed on some defined topic.

Web forums are still great places to engage with real people and real opinions. I'm expecting that web forums will remain after the social media giants are privacy-legislated out of existence.
> Only for their Metal subscription

False. Monzo's ATM fee is 3%, Revolut's 2%. Monzo gives MasterCard's exchange rate, Revolut gives real exchange rate.

If you take out at least 600 EUR / GBP monthly, the Revolut Metal subscription with all the benefits becomes essentially free.

A tax would have to be enforced globally to be effective. Are you advocating for an International tax collector?

To add to that, you could be the arbiter of “negative externalities” since you have such a good handle on theoretical economics. You could then use your authority to tax and save the world.

Just want to say I’m very thankful you are here to share your intelligence via undisputed and very basic facts. I didn’t know reality was so black and white until you showed up. Thank you!
The point I was making is that none of those things are very interesting to me – I use a credit card when travelling, don't travel enough for banking to be a constraint, and don't need virtual cards.

Also, note that there are already zero ATM fees in the UK, Monzo does £200 of fee-free foreign withdrawals/month in line with the Revolut free account, and cashback is only 1% outside of Europe, if you are paying for the most expensive account. This is kind of what I mean – the offering seems to suffer from the same problems as older banks, in that it kinda looks good on the surface but mostly comes with a bunch of stuff I have zero interest in.
I can't speak for the Phoenix dev team but the fact that some of the Devise authors are now heavily invested in Elixir / Phoenix and they didn't port Devise to Phoenix by now makes you wonder if they still think the idea of Devise is a good one.

Personally I haven't found auth to be a problem in Phoenix and I have lots of experience with Rails (and using Devise).

You can put together an iron clad user registration + auth system in about 150 lines of app-level code (not including lines of code for the template forms, but with Devise you would end up customizing your own forms anyways). This includes registering new users, authenticating by email + encrypted password, logging in, logging out, session management and having the idea of a current_user in your system, along with a way to restrict routes, controllers or actions to only logged in users. The essentials basically.

I would much rather manage ~150 lines of code in my own project that I fully know and can easily customize than pull in something like Devise which is 6,000+ lines of Ruby and have to configure / override a number of things.

Everyone has their own opinions but I would much rather spend my time developing features for my app than trying to figure out how to customize a massive third party dependency.

Personally I'm rolling with a magic link authentication system in my Phoenix app and it was also around 200 lines of code to implement everything, including configuring and sending the emails out. There's no external libs beyond Phoenix to get it all working (except for sending the emails out, in which case I use Bamboo which is a lib dedicated to sending emails).

I'm sure they are although for programming languages that correlation seems to be particularly weak. But judging the quality of a programming language by its popularity causes a kind of distributed circular argument: People use a programming language (=it is popular), so we assume it is good. We use it which means it becomes even more popular, convincing other people it is good etc.

When making a decision, using popularity as an easy but noisy indicator for quality can still make sense. If you kept your choice secret, you wouldn't even cause any negative externalities. But here, we don't make a decision so I don't think popularity is an argument worth considering (when evaluating the merits of the language itself, popularity does affect ease of hiring of course).

Bad planning. They were doing maintenance on a major link without checking its redundancy.

From https://tweakers.net/nieuws/84839/storing-112-was-opeenstape... :

One of the two fiber links had been down for three weeks, which went unnoticed because of lack of proper monitoring. When Eurofiber started their maintenance on the second link, they caused an outage that lasted all night.
Realistically banking is a mature industry and I'd expect the banks to be much of a muchness. But currently the only way to avoid ludicrous charges on foreign currency is to switch to one of the challengers, and then once you've switched why would you switch back unless a "traditional" bank offered something that was not just the same but a substantial improvement?

Isn't it "if many powerful people believe that they can use the population under their control to satisfy their megalomania"?

WWI should probably have been resolved by not stopping the murder at Archduke Ferdinand but continuing on to any Royal/controlling person who thought going to war was a good idea.

Do nations of people actually care if they're "#1"? People on the whole want local things AFAICT, sufficient freedoms to raise their family and achieve a degree of fulfillment in their lives.
I think you will find that if you put the effective non-glass surface area of a model 3 in direct sunlight... Half of the car will be in shade. Half of the car will be angled at a less than optimal angle (such as 35 degree fixed tilt, aimed directly south, for a ground mounted PV install). I would be extremely surprised if a model 3 or S covered in PV cells produced anywhere near 2000W in direct sunlight.

My best estimate is that it's a really charitable back of the napkin figure to say that a model S sized vehicle with every square cm available of body panel covered in PV cells might be equivalent to four 250W panels.

The math is, roughly, and this is output from 30 seconds with the pvwatts tool. This is for a fixed ground mount or roof mount array of 4 x 250W panels, tilted at 20 degrees aimed directly south. Not on a car.

Worst month of the year, december: 97kWh produced

Best month of the year, july, 165 kWh produced.

Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/OcK8z2b

Keep in mind, that production estimate is for four panels that have unobstructed view to the sky 24x7 for a month, and begin receiving sunlight as soon as the sun comes up in the morning, and keep receiving it every minute of the day until the sun sets. Every day for a month. Not how you would see a car used.

Probably a lot less than that, since any high efficiency PV cells are not curved, and if you're talking about surfaces that are curved in more than one axis, that entirely rules out using big 156mm monocrystalline Si cells. And there's no way in hell that anyone can afford to be using 33% efficient space grade GaAs PV cells on a car.

Ignore the panel cost? Have you ever actually priced gallium arsenide triple junction PV cells?

If you have actually installed and put into use an off grid PV system and watched its output through a whole solar day, you would understand.

Firstly, if you have every been to China and lived there for a while, you should notice that they don't use email quite often(only 38.1%). If the card inside the wallet includes a wechat QR code, that will be adifferent thing. Secondly, the wallet didn't look like a wallet that people would use everyday. They could be easily cleaned away by Chinese road cleaners. Thirdly, although everybody in China learns English, it doesn't mean everyone can use it well. If you speak English to tell someone that you found a wallet, you'd better find a translator or simply go with Maindrain. The experiment wasn't quite scientific, in my opinion.
> re-classified a previously identified hummingbird (Geoglyph No. PV68A-CF1) as a hermit

As Hermit here is referred to a type of Hummingbird, re-classified does not look like the right word for this. Would be like saying that a previously identified bovine has been re-classified now as a cow.
It feels harsh to call him naïve because I'm sure I wouldn't have had any more insight, but it is surprising how little we knew about the science of language pre-Chomsky, considering that we have been learning languages for millions of years. Now that we have had several generations of computer technology fall short of the abilities of human translators, it seems obvious that you're probably not going to be able to write a machine translation program on a computer with a few megabytes of memory.
Why are they even keeping years of call records? This strikes me as something that should be deleted after the current billing cycle (plus a delay for complaints, say 12 months). This kind of just-in-case or I-don't-want-to-push-the-button retention of data should hopefully be given some disincentives by GDPR but there is still a hell of a lot too much of it going on. Storage is cheap doesn't mean keep everything forever, especially potentially sensitive personal data.

> To think we managed to solve composition by scrambling together some melodies from an input of thousand melodies and thinking we are done with the hardest part is hubris at it’s best.

To me, that's missing the point. The output of systems like BachBot and DeepBach is musically interesting precisely because of how weird and serendipitous the results of that "scrambling together" are. IOW, it's not just scrambling, but scrambling that manages to learn and preserve at least the short-term structures that we associate with "music". (That's a big improvement over simple Markov models.) It's nowhere near what humans would make, same as a picture of an actual dog is not similar to what the DeepDream network outputs as "dog-like" - but it's already interesting in its own right.
I would be even more impressed if you then circulated proper meeting minutes, with all the Action points properly recorded, document named and version controlled etc

> In this way, Dynamic Yield is part of a generation of companies whose core technology, while extremely useful, is powered by artificial intelligence that is roughly as good as a 24-year-old analyst at Goldman Sachs with a big dataset and a few lines of Adderall. For the last few years, startups have shamelessly re-branded rudimentary machine-learning algorithms as the dawn of the singularity, aided by investors and analysts who have a vested interest in building up the hype. Welcome to the artificial intelligence bullshit-industrial complex.

As an AI researcher, I think a lot of people are a little too sensitive to the term "AI" and make a lot of big assumptions upon hearing it. It's a very general term that doesn't really imply any particular degree of complexity or sophistication. Labeling simple machine learning algorithms and heuristics as "AI" isn't at all unique to this era of hype that began in the last ~5 years -- rather that's how the term has been used in academia for many decades. If you took a college class called "AI" or looked up some of the most popular textbooks on AI [1], you'd find that a lot of it is dedicated to search algorithms (breadth-first, depth-first, A*), linear classifiers, and feature engineering. If you think "artificial intelligence" is a bad name for these things, fine -- but don't blame the recent wave of hype, this is what the term AI means and has pretty much always meant. So go ahead and call your startup's linear regression "AI", and if the VCs leap to fund you under the impression that it means you'll be behind the singularity, that's on them. AI != deep learning. AI != AGI.

I would guess most people (Europeans at least) travel less than 50 miles a day, that potentially means you never need to plug your car in.

But as you say this is ideal conditions, and isnt likely to reliably work out that way, so you're still going to have to plan to plug your car in, so agreed, not worth the expense.

Australia has huge problems with salinity, where previously dry areas were deforested and irrigated with water sourced from other areas (like the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area). Saline groundwater rises to the surface and causes the top soil to become irreversibly salty.

Re-forestation would solve the problem (deep rooted plants lower the groundwater level) but because the soil is salty, nothing can or will grow there. The areas are now wastelands, good only for salt mining.

I remember some research was put into developing salt-tolerant trees specifically to solve the problem, not sure how successful it was.

It's pointless and sends a false message that "cleaning up the problem" is even vaguely possible. That false message will be picked up and amplified by "big plastic" companies like CocaCola to convince the public that they aren't in fact ruining the earth with their single use plastics.

It has people like you convinced that it's possible to "clean up what is out there". It's not.

And it's 4-8% increased range assuming that for 100% of your trip, all of the PV cells are exposed to direct sunlight. No clouds, no weather, and that all of the cells are somehow magically getting the best possible angle of sunlight.

Go watch a clamp ammeter on the output side of a 12 x 360W panel off grid PV array and tell me what the wattage is when a few clouds pass over. The cumulative kWH per month figure is what you should care about - but for that particular 4 hour period of the cloudy day, you'll be lucky to see 400W total from all of the panels together.
Interestingly, GPU accelerated text rendering has always been a thing, except back then, it was called text mode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_mode).

And the main reason was to save memory and computing power. And even today, a GPU is designed to do graphics, that's in the name. Text rendering is graphics, so why not use it? It is more efficient than a CPU, and the reason it isn't done more isn't because one needs huge GPUs, but rather because it is more difficult for the devs.

Because CPUs today are powerhouses and text is a rather simple task, devs take the easy way and do text rendering on the CPU. But when you throw Unicode, anti-aliasing and high resolution into the mix, things that modern terminals should support, it stops being so simple, and the GPU regains value.
I don't think the real problem here is even this example of pro gender bias. For me it is really the sham social sciences are, and always have been.

A big amount of their publication either follows political bias or, the academic bias of the moment and this happens all because they aren't really sciences. They don't follow the scientific method, they lack a criteria of refutability. You can say whatever it is fancy at the moment, and if some other study comes to contradict it, it doesn't matter.

In the end, I think, they are lengthy at fault for today's public opinion lack of trust in science. Anti-vaxers, flat-earthers, and less extreme examples, are enabled by the media presenting social science's findings as scientific when in fact they are clearly not scientific in nature. And with that, we end up taking credibility away from real sciences.

Every time we see the word "science" associated with this kind of practices, the word "science" looses meaning for the ones that can't understand the clear methodological difference between sociology and biology for instance.
