Without ECC memory, ZFS carries the nasty risk of writing good data with a bad checksum, leading to data loss which would not occur in other filesystems

Assuming a memory error somewhere:

On ZFS you'd be writing bad data with a bad checksum, which would be caught by ZFS later on.

On (most) other filesystems you'd be writing bad data and no checksum, and you'd be none the wiser until garbage comes back.

It's a myth that ZFS requires ECC memory; ZFS is safer when running with ECC, but without ECC it will still save your data in a lot of places where most other filesystems won't.

"Cloudflare is observing network performance issues."
not just performance issues, our entire website is unavailable because of it.

edit: availability has been alternating between available and unavailable
In my case, it was because it's a thing that happens frequently. I set limits low and I routinely get transactions failing, so I raise/remove the limit and they retry.

It generally happens when recurring bill payments come through, so I didn't really think much of it, I did what I do when a transaction fails. If I had seen the amount, I definitely wouldn't have done anything like that.
Indeed I hold them off for a year and only released them after Sony has officially ended the production.

Thanks for posting it here. I hope you enjoy the reading!
Before I signed up for Revolut I did a bit of research and found some incidents that made me more cautious than usual. Unfortunately at the end of my analysis I found no better option, so I signed up. But knowing what I do, I have 2 rules:

- don't keep a significant sum there; not more than what I can afford to loose if things go wrong

- keep unused features disabled at all times, activate and deactivate features or card only when I want to use it. Practically my card is blocked until I want to use it and blocked again as soon as I paid.

My balance today is ~ $35. I will top up when I need to pay more, it is enough for a coffee, a snack or to fill in gas (I ride a bike, even with expensive European gas it's still ~ $25 for a full tank).
If it happened to be the day your bills go out, you might just assume you messed up in your planning.

And there's no weird transaction listed, so assuming it's a standing order wouldn't be unusual.

And yeah, "panic", the fees for missing payments on some bills can be fairly high so you probably can't wait till beyond 2pm that day.

Ted Nelson is visionary but bad businessman/project leader.

The Curse Of Xanadu: https://www.wired.com/1995/06/xanadu/

He patented some of his ideas (like ZigZag data structure) but failed to commercialize despite multiple attempts. Then he killed open source attempt to make it happen outside his control (GZigZag). Being very defensive and insisting of owning the project when one has not the ability to lead is unfortunate. Nelson had very good ideas.

The idea that you make closed source hypertext project seemed possible at the time, before the web, but it has no change of happening now.
I used to like them but then this happened:

- they froze my account.

- they required documentation.

- the chat was broken. There was no way to contact them and send the documentation.

- I found them in Twitter, someone from Revolut passed my issue along. No one called me.

- They kept messaging me in the chat. I could see the numbers piling up but the chat was "opps something went wrong" and a blank page.

- I tried all: cache, restart etc...I didn't want to uninstall.

- after two weeks I took the big risk and uninstalled the app. It was very tense...I installed it again (it worked luckily) and I could finally chat again. Problem solved.

They never called me, I could not call them, the problem was on their end but I had to find a way and take the risks.

Never again.

Fintech is just banks with a sleek interface and no experience after all.

[EDIT: formatting]
Not really: person A is tasked with remeditating risk X (dangerous pitch-up at high AoA), persons B, C are tasked with remediating some other risks Y, Z, or just generally keeping an eye on the big picture. Now if person A is better than the others at pushing the needs of their particular target metric (or just more stubborn, a particularly easy form of "strength"), that plane will surely never crash due pitch up at high AoA, but maybe more likely due to other dangers that became more likely for the sake of never crashing from that pitch up problem that A was sent out to solve. This cost will be seen as a consequence of the weakness of B, C, not of the "strength" of A.

The high-resolve powerplayer who pushes their assigned task ahead of big-picture concerns is the hero of ambitious middle management culture. We see that happen many times, just rarely in domains as deadly as aviation.

On previous models it was integrated, so I assume it is now as well.
Sounds like a milder type of conspiracy theory to me. Compared to coal, crude oil has higher energy density, provides better fuel to operate machines, and was less labor intensive to extract - isn't it quite enough for oil to expand into coal territory? Without some special political decision? Also, as we know democracy happened to places without mining industries at all.
> you authorized the fraudulent transaction

I don’t know European banking law. But in the U.S., this isn’t Revolut’s call to make [1]. They can issue the chargeback and then cancel your account, if they think you’re being screwy. But they can’t deny the chargeback unilaterally.

OP should reach out to their national financial services regulator.

As for the rest, I guess they're just garbage and I'm glad to know I don't ever want to be using their services. Maybe someone from Revolut will chime in here and try to explain the situation.

What is nearly always missing is some sort of overview that explains you which parts are there, what are they good for, and how they work together.

Either these are very rare, or there are hard to google because they are drowned out by the many tutorials.

When you follow a tutorial, you are shown a very specific way of doing things (which often isn't up to date, with no indication that in the meantime this way has been replaced by another way).

And while that's very helpful for a beginner, it isn't as helpful for an experienced programmer, especially if he or she is having a problem that needs a slightly different way of doing things, and the missing information is just "instead of X, you can also do Y here".

And references don't answer these questions, unless you work through them from top to bottom (which usually takes more time than you have).

Would it be equally as performant to change a large table's varchar(50) field to a text field with a range constraint (min / max) vs. just changing the existing text's constraint to include a min? That type of use case might come up in the wild where you're like, "well... maybe zip codes shouldn't just have a max size, they should also have a min too".

Really just pulling at straws here to see if it's ever viable to use text / constraint when it sounds like varchar(N) might be the way to go? Even if it's only there for backwards compatibility, I must say varchar(50) is a lot friendlier to type than having to wire up a char_length constraint.
> Also, apparently the declined transaction shows up, but it takes a while.

I have had multiple times when the most recent transaction showed up only after restarting the Revolut app.

You can probably find a reputable bank with a nearby branch. Even an online-only relationship with a reputable bank, regulated by a reputable national authority (e.g. the U.K., Switzerland or France), would be a good idea.

This appears to be a routing problem. All our systems are running normally but traffic isn't getting to us for a portion of our domains.

1128 UTC update Looks like we're dealing with a route leak and we're talking directly with the leaker and Level3 at the moment.

1131 UTC update Just to be clear this isn't affecting all our traffic or all our domains or all countries. A portion of traffic isn't hitting Cloudflare. Looks to be about an aggregate 10% drop in traffic to us.

1134 UTC update We are now certain we are dealing with a route leak.

@dang etc.: could someone update the title to reflect the status page "Route Leak Impacting Cloudflare"

> having to wait for pending transactions to post before filing a chargeback is how traditional banks have treated me

Yeah, I guess they have a reason for doing that, though I don't know what it is. Still, I would have thought they can cancel it in cases of fraud? Maybe it's so you can't "dine and dash" or similar.
Were people freaked out by Facebook's tests because "omg tests", or were they freaked out because Facebook made some people's lives worse ("slightly"), manipulated emotions and is generally not a trustworthy company?

I suspect that people feel very differently about A/B tests depending on what's tested, the way it is tested (negative impacts of the test?) and who is testing it (aka "is this to improve lives? or is it to better manipulate me into spending more time on FB?")

That's not true at all. Cash has the same problem of undeclared transactions, but the tax mostly still manages to get collected. If anything, the fact that Libra transactions will leave an electronic record makes it more likely that tax will get paid.

> You mostly can't talk to anyone

No phone number should be a dealbreaker for banking. 99% of the time, you don’t want to talk to a banker. But that 1% of the time can make or break you for months or years.

These start-ups (e.g. Bank Simple, Revolut, et cetera) prey on consumers who have only experienced the 99%. You don’t want to have a 1% event, like fraud, or an issue overseas, or a liquidity crisis, with a service you can’t talk to. (It’s also bad enough when it’s your first time with an issue. You don’t want to be banking with someone who’s (a) never solved that problem before either and (b) not available to talk to.)

Also Revolut CEO's father is CEO of Gazprom (or some division, I'm not sure I understand their structure). And it got it's money from DST Global incubator, which has Kremlin ties.

Meaning, despite their London HQ, Revolut is Russian owned and Russian managed pseudo-bank.

Giving them more money might not be great idea.
Credit/debit cards are outdated and should be replaced by flexible and safer methods that allow fine-grained control over the payment (i.e one time payment, recurring, limits on recurring etc).

Everyone with your card number can take money from your account. How stupid is that? Like giving the user/pass of your online banking.

Exactly. I cannot recall the CNBC video right now. But one of the top guys of Libra was there and he said although the fee structure hasn't been worked out yet. Taking a cut on the partners side would be where fees are taken.

So imagine the current status quo is that either paypal or visa/mastercard are the principle payment methods and they charge the current rates.

But with libra, you still pay with paypal or visa/mastercard but using libra coin instead of fiat coin and % of the fee also goes to facebook.

What I can't wait for. Is the raft of people who will be denied creating wallets. How many people have had their accounts frozen by Paypal, kicked off using Visa/Mastercard and even Stripe! Quite a few I can tell you.

Think the situation will be different from Libra? Doubtful...
This is why I will always bank with the old-school banks. Being able to reach someone on the phone -- or even turn up at a branch -- makes it a lot harder for them to ignore you when there is a major issue that needs resolving.

I agree. There are some really great product search engines available in Germany (geizhals.de and idealo.de) that allow you to search many many articles by custom criteria (depending on their category) and then do a price comparison.

Amazon lacks basic search filters. And it has a lot of other annoyances. For example when I search for shoes in my size, Amazon won't display the price of the shoes in my size until I click on the shoes. Instead of shows the price range for all sizes in the list of shoes. Makes it a huge hassle to browse through a lot of shoes.
