Do they use accounts linked for withdrawal to transfer money as well? I have an account linked so I can withdraw PayPal money to the bank, but I don't want them to get money from my bank account to PayPal.

Does anyone know how I can avoid that happening?
Roulette has the worst odds, so what do you mean by “playing the probabilities?” Roulette’s big draw is that it’s simple, high suspense, and visceral due to being able to see the ball bounce around

Personally, my gambling strategy is simple. Whatever amount I’m gambling is considered spent in exchange for the “fun” I get. I expect to walk away with zero. If I’m winning I like to go double or nothing right before I leave on black at roulette, just for the hell of it.

I affably don’t know how anyone considers the .then syntax to be any better than the original callback hell version. Especially if you want your error handlers to be unique and to affect the flow. Sorry but the common shared catch at the end doesn’t usually suffice in the code I write.

I find the async/await form he alludes to at the end to be the only form that improves upon the original callback version.

That's just a rumor though, as the article points out, there are major problems with the imprisonment story
From the article:

This would be the other direction.
I rented once from a cheap car hire once and was caught off guard by the sales assistant. Like he looked diligently for every scratch and ding. Afterwards, I could not sleep from the stress. Too worried about road debris and, pedestrians, and farm animals scratching the car. So the next morning I returned it and went to Hertz. The rule there is anything larger than a quarter is marked. That seems somewhat reasonable instead of going around the car with a flashlight.
Not sure exactly how but I’ve mostly avoided places where being an asshole is acceptable. This could be to do with actively avoiding bro-fest type places, looking for high-impact rather than high-pay kind of work, but I can’t really take credit.

Separately, I’m quite shocked reading this HN thread seeing people defending the behaviour the article describes. I suddenly feel like I don’t really know the tech industry at all!
Yeah, thanks, that's a great reminder to cancel the Direct Debits from my real bank account into Paypal.
The problem seems to be identifying.

I get not physically keying: that's the whole point of the USB-C idea.

What I don't get is why the hell they didn't mandate standardized identification (at least in manuals) regarding port / cable feature compatibility. The entire point of the trademark is to use it to make things easier for the customer and promote adoption.

Make a logo for every feature (4k 60hz!), trademark them too, then mandate implementers advertise featuresets via the logos. Problem solved.
I moved to Norway with my wife and son from the USA. As part of the move, I ended my employment at a FAANG company and joined a small Norwegian software company.

On the side, I'm working on a feature documentary and I'm also exploring some ideas with a friend of mine who is a talented film director.

Most of my spare time is spent with my son and wife. I'm recovering from burnout and as part of the Scandinavian mindset I'm relearning how to have a healthy work life balance.

This obsession with journal impact factor is toxic in academia. It's what allows parasitic publishing companies to continue to extract rents despite contributing nothing to science for decades. The majority of papers are envelope-pushers, churned out in enormous numbers because of "publish or perish". Academics who need CV bullet-points are going to churn out quick papers that go with the status-quo, with bibliographies filled with papers that do likewise. So of course journals that push the status-quo are going to have high impact factors. Back when surgeons were laughing at the crackpot telling them to wash their hands, a paper on the unnecessity of hand-washing would be well-cited.

I believe you can claim it back?
I'm going to take a cynical stand and claim that the internet as the greybeards envisioned decades ago is just not going to happen. Or perhaps happened for a short window in the early 2000s. I don't see how we can just turn things around.

Something new will pop up in a few years, limited within hacker circles, perhaps in a medium beyond computers/phones. It'll have all the nice qualities that we seek such as privacy, encryption, anonymity, pro-free-speech etc, except that none of those things will last for very long. It too will have it's own eternal September, followed up ad-tech/media/government screwing things up. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Any new kind of "internet" that depends on traditional infrastructure that is under the control of states/corporations will end up being exactly like the one we have now.
I don't think that's quite how the physics works out.

Speed of airflow is approximately constant. Extreme case is reeling it in at 1mph in a 200mph wind. Force is approximately fixed.

Consider that I have an object with a fixed force on it (a good approximation in that case). If I reel it in, I do work equal to force times distance. That work goes into heating up the air. The force on my boat is the same.

I'm not sure it's a problem we care about, but you know how we solve the problem? Collapse (or partially collapse) the kite before reeling it in.
You've seen the Type C - 3.5mm headphone dongles right? They're so tiny and cheap.. did you think they could be active? :)
There are a lot of refurb 2015 MBP's on the market since many people upgraded to newer machines. They're the last run before the butterfly keyboard, you can find up to 16GB memory and 512GB storage—some of them with dedicated video as well (if the 15" size is what you're after). And substantially cheaper than new models.

Yup. One of those few areas where the capital required is so massive it can bankrupt even big dogs if they fuck up. See Westinghouse. Need some more gov joint investment or it will be the same state in 20 years as it is now.
Good for all Americans!

That's why rich Indians immigrate to the US and not vice versa.

If US taxes were lower, even more rich people would immigrate to the US. More investment, more jobs.

But if socialists take over, there will be an exodus.

My problem with this is that it assumes there's only a single isolated asshole in the company and he exists in a social vacuum. It's much more common for multiple assholes of varying degrees to exist somewhere, and being assholes there's a very good chance they are not working together and instead are engaged with each other in GoT-tier power struggles. If a firable asshole is suppressing a worse unfirable asshole, do you still try to get rid of the former?

I did an extensive comparison a while ago: https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/ --- It should still largely be pretty accurate (and ripgrep has only gotten faster).

More generally, if someone can find a non-trivial example of ag being faster then ripgrep, then I'd love to have a bug report. (Where non-trivial probably means something like "not I/O bound" and "not so short that the differences are human imperceptible noise.")
> state of wikipedia moderations

I'm glad others are keeping an eye on this issue. It is incredibly ironic to me that anyone in a leadership role at Wikipedia would criticize Zuckerberg or Dorsey. It's not even just political content, it's getting to the point where history is being actively re-written and re-interpreted to match a radical narrative.

In some sort of temporal example of humour, I've gone back to recommending people use Britannica as a starting point and for surface level reading.
It depends on the malware. If it's self-contained and only goes around encrypting things and then prints a message to send money to a pre-defined particular Bit Coin address, then it won't matter.

If it needs to phone home or otherwise contact an outside address (excluding hard-coded IP addresses), then presumably it needs it needs to do a DNS look-up at some point.

Many botnets use pseudo-random DNS domains, and when the generation algorithm was figured out, people were able to get control of it:

It's easy for us to blame "requirements" as the main source of complexity. This isn't accurate. Software exists to serve the needs of the business. Depending on the maturity and stage of the business or the software itself, it's possible that there's a changing set of requirements. As developers, it's out job to figure out how to deliver, not to say "no" to new enhancements and requirements.

The main source of complexity is how we write software, not that the software has requirements.

He made it quite clear in the article that he was not concerned about the reversal, he was concerned about the lack of notification of the reversal.
Especially given the number of things platforms like YouTube, Reddit and Medium are cracking down on/demonetising. For instance, your own host likely won't boot you off or interfere if you post cybersecurity related videos/articles, like YouTube started to do a few days ago.

Having your own site provides a backup in case the platforms you use to promote your work turn on/your industry.

And don't worry about the extra traffic a platform may bring. That's why you publish on your own site first, then syndicate your content to other services later.

It sounds like the "diagnostics" are faulty. If they ended up fixing your problems (as suggested by your "distinct repairs" comments, so they can't have just sat on the device for a phone days then said "yep, we fixed it") then it sounds like they do further tests once they've accepted it for repair, and where those tests highlight a genuine problem, in which case they should probably do those tests initially instead, or at least not make you have to argue with someone at the store when you've already had to stop work, get it to the store etc.

To me, how great a company is for a business is decided by how much they have your back when shit hits the fan, not when everything is working as intended.

You’d expect that Paypal would notify him of the reversed transaction. Or would at least be able to tell him it was reverted instead of accusing him of refunding it himself.
I had a similar experience with Uber Eats. Though I despise PayPal, I think this problem is common to these large companies that outsource all customer support. There is no venue to actually reach someone who gives a damn and at the top, they like it that way because they don't care about anything except how much money they are making. It is deeply flawed. I wish there was a good alternative to PayPal.

That would give me pause to
ask why the two pins existed
in the first place.

Bear in mind, the USB-C connector is designed to be rotationally symmetric - so you'll start your layout by paralleling up the four ground pins, and the four bus power pins, and the two pins for USB 2.0 negative and the two for USB 2.0 positive.

I can understand why it might get overlooked, when someone has paralleled up 12 pins in the last 5 minutes...
For past 1.5 years I've been developing a game part time. The game is a 2D top down racing with procedurally generated race tracks. It is the biggest and most fulfilling pet project I have ever done.

"The US is the most powerful country on the planet and no one else is close."

Really? How do you measure this? Based on GDP Europe and China should be the same level. Based on PPP China may have surpased the US already. Military might? Questionable how effective carriers are against an able opponent. Paul Kennedy would argue, that increased military spending against an upcoming opponent might be a sign of weakness.

Was this also a relevant part of the "privacy invasion to prevent abuse", to determine the genre of the book?
Agreed. I dislike the terms "sr" and "jr" developer, but I think we too often call someone a senior because they know a lot of technology or they've been around for a while.

I've been thinking a lot about these terms and have been defining these roles internally as:

junior: can build relatively simple solutions, still gaining experience.

mid-level: can build complex systems, but the solution is going to be complicated.

senior: builds simple solutions to solve complicated problems.

I mentor internal devs to help shift their focus from learning more complicated technologies toward learning how to produce much cleaner and simpler solutions. This is the career path that I think helps them the most and also helps our company scale.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise, decentralised or federated versions of all kinds of things on the web exist, and work, today... Just no one uses them of course.

The problem is none of these ideas seem to be able to obtain dominance, because that's not in their nature, that is in the nature of capitalism at the deep end, and it already has a grasp on the things that most decentralised tech is trying to replace.

The exceptions are decentralised tech that has no corporate competition, e.g bittorrent. I think that's a very useful observation, it's a classic "make a better horse" scenario, it's difficult to see the future when you are focused on present technology - I think the way to make the centralised web obsolete is not to merely decentralise the existing manifestation of it, but to make something entirely, fundamentally different, because corporations don't innovate in that dimension, so they can't compete, and can't dominate early enough to monopolize it.

Your intolerance of religion has been noted, and will go on your permanent record. ;)
Excellent reply. I make the joke ot myself "you are always the last to know that you are the asshole". I think there are systemic problems which can cause folks to be 'assholes' against their best attempts to do otherwise. The original article hugely oversimplifies this. (Not a big fan of the Aspbergers exclusion, though - I see this used a lot)
My report:

I just got a new MacBook Air a few weeks ago, to replace an aging MacBook Air. Retina display is a huge upgrade, and USB C is great (I don't miss the mag safe charger as much as I thought I would). The keyboard though ...

Week 1:
For the first week the keyboard was great (although more clacky sounding than the older model).

Week 2:
The R key started misfiring. Press the R key 10 times, you only get 8 Rs on screen.

Week 3:
I was about to bring it in to get replaced, but then the R key started working again.

Great that Apple has acknowledged the issue, and as soon as the R key misbehaves again, I will be bringing my MacBook Air in for repair.

The misfiring, along with the clacking noise makes the overall experience of the newer keyboard feel "cheaper" than it's predecessors.

As does DNS-over-TLS. Though since it has an official IANA port, this can be blocked.

> You can further, and more appropriately IMO, defend against such threats at the firewall level, by blocking network space (rather than domains) and ports associated with malware.

And if malware leverages Cloudflare, am I supposed to block that? The ports associated with malware may be HTTPS.

You don't have a problem with money flowing in to and out of your account, so long as it all balances out in the end? Really?

Then you won't mind if I borrow the keys to your account. You'll never notice a thing.

Even if PP is just covering their embarrassment over a mistake, it is still nonsense on stilts that they stonewall and bullshit about transactions flowing through your account. Who knows if they're even legal transactions? Someone could be playing a game.

Before you assert the belief that Paypal would never risk laundering money, you maybe want to look at Wachovia, HSBC and Deutsche. And it doesn't have to be "Paypal" in some formal sense; it could be employees there.

It is incredibly naive to play "what, me worry?" about sketchy things going on in your accounts.

Sounds like an opportunity to me. Have a rule that you charge by Km travelled or fuel used, whichever is greatest $-wise. Also have a car where the interior can be quickly converted into a bed...a double bed.

Bonus points for electrochromic glass for privacy. The glass can only be activated when the car is fully stopped with the handbrake engaged.

Uses: sleep, sex, rest, air-conditioned space, heated space, eating space, electrical outlet for phone or laptop, quiet room, change room...oh and a car. Basically anything a hotel can be but also portable.

Add automated driving to the equation and who knows what kind of a beast the industry will be in a decade.
The internet was much nicer before most people were using it. We usually focus on the technology problems here at HN: filter bubbles, skinner box addictive UIs and content feeds, algorithmic and centralized control. Has anyone simply wondered if the problem with the internet is fundamentally that everyone's on it? It used to be an escape from the problems of the real world. Now it's just a new way for the problems of the real world to reach you.
That's not how it works.

Is betting your job or an entertainment for you? If you see it as a job, a means to make money, I feel like that's unhealthy.

When I go see a movie, even if the money is "lost", I still enjoy it. You go to the movie for the emotion it makes you feel, just like you bet for the emotion it makes you fell. It's the trill, the chance of seeing big wins.

India has many problems with media. Fake news media, crypto fake media, deep fake media. Fake media is easy to identify. Crypto media and deep fake is more difficult.

Recently google sponsored data journalism award was given to one of the most partisan website. And new think tanks which are sponsored by unknown forces come up all the time. One of the recent ones which I am investigating is called equality labs which recently did a dubious study claiming that there is absolutely no abuse of a majority group on Internet by a minority group. A simple search can disapprove that in seconds.
