Just avoid Paypal, I’ve always had issues with them from funds being blocked for no reason to my account being blocked, their support is an absolute nightmare, also my friend sold something on eBay the buyer said she didn’t get it so PayPal took the money back from my friend, she sent it and it was signed for but not at the address listed on PayPal the address that has been given by the buyer so it’s not protected.

If you have a short video to share, don't share them in GIF format, let them be videos instead.

GIFs are a huge burden to digital devices because they have to contain every frame and every piece of information to themselves where on the other hand, videos are usually compressed and every digital device have the algorithm (Open H264 video coded usually) to extract the compressed file and play the video by default, which leads to less disk space, less bandwidth, less data usage, less CPU cycle usage (making the device faster), less electric power usage (2 billion active FB users!).

Jon Bois is a genius in my opinion as well so I'm glad someone wrote this. There aren't many links to his videos in this article, but here's one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4AhABManTw. It's about the 1904 Olympic marathon in St. Louis.

I can say that people like humans way better than bots. We have an app that looks like a bot but is a real person, and we say it at the beginning, but people don’t believe. Once they figure it out, they go crazy. It’s always local people by the way. So I think at some point, bots should be at least explain what they are without pretending they are humans.

They do have to say "confites" (I don't know how to say that in English), they can't call them just "olives noires", but I didn't realize they could write "olives noires" on the package and say "ingredients : olives noires confites". That seems very dishonest.

But in Belgium they can just call them "olives noires / zwarte olijven" and indicate "stabilisator E579" in the ingredients, which I think is even more dishonest.

Yes, because the viewers are the product being sold to the advertisers. Content creators, meanwhile, are essentially independent contractors that get free video hosting and a little cut of the ad money (assuming they fulfill a lengthy checklist) in exchange for giving the platform any real reason to exist. You'll find that this is the exact angle that the folks at Google like to spread until the second one of their advertisers starts to hesitate.

So in essence, you have a bunch of kind-of employees complaining about their kind-of employer's insistence that the customer is always right, even if it undermines their livelihoods. That sounds like what you'd expect out of any other customer-facing job, so what's the problem here?

Started using Notion for a new job just over a week ago... and Notion is terrible.

Literally the worst web application I've ever used, and that's saying something. Even the most basic Markdown supporting wiki outclasses it by far.

Using Firefox, the simplest things are completely broken (eg middle mouse click to open a new tab doesn't work).

Page up/down (as you mention), let alone home and end keys. All broken.

Apparently they weren't aware of the problem, and test on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Yet this is basic 101 functionality. So pretty solidly doubt they have any kind of release testing at all.

If anyone out there is considering Notion, for a not-100% Chrome using audience, look elsewhere. It's crap and will actively annoy your audience.

A limit as low as 20 absolutely has its roots in insecure prehistoric password storage policies, even if the implementation happens to have been updated at some point in the past two decades to no longer store passwords in plaintext. As you say, everybody has some kind of limit, if only to prevent DoS attacks, but that limit should be closer to 1000 bytes than 20 bytes.
Desire to have children has been under selection only since the demographic transition. Most of the world has less than two generations of selection, most one, some none. As such we would expect to see a lot of variation in desire to have children. The only group I’d be willing to bet money have notably higher desire to have children than other human populations are the French because that’s where the demographic transition started. For everyone else on average we should expect more or less the same mean and variance.

Then the environment changes in one, or in two ways. People move to another country, or not, and their culture gets exposed to modernity/the demographic transition. If they move to another country the culture they’re surrounded by will change, which will change when their children think it’s appropriate to marry, how many children they want, etc. It will do nothing to their genes, including their desire to have children.

But all over the world the selection is ongoing. As time goes on the proportion of the population that wants lots of children increases and so do the number of large families.

Genetic and sociological explanations can both be true at the same time. Mormons have more children than average for sociological reasons. They value and honour child rearing and family life far, far more than normal Americans. People whose parents had 6+ children also have more children than average, possibly partly due to role model effects, but mostly because they like children. There’s nothing incompatible about these explanations.
From the general public in the area, no.

Given the expansion of "Faster Payments" and "open banking" (banks must support APIs!), I wouldn't be surprised to see the EU try to mandate a bank-to-bank ""federated"" payment system. Norway already has Vipps everywhere, although that's more like Venmo than Paypal.
If it was advantageous for us to have lots of children, then women would have a dozen at a time, rather than one. There are plenty of mammals that do that. There’s clearly a tradeoff there and the selective pressures for humans tend to lean toward fewer. Not sure where we’ll end up, but time will tell.

> Large families do not just happen due to poverty

You're right, they happen due to culture. However, the cultures you listed are notably insular and traditional, meaning they do not have large families for the same reason much of the world does (high infant mortality). I doubt these will ever change, but it is very possible the rest of the world will.
It's possible, but this explanation still implies they're storing the passwords, not the hashes.

I think you might be right about the popularity. Major commercial MMOs are deriving revenue from either subscriptions or microtransactions, with the latter becoming much more common (and requiring a far larger userbase to maintain profitability). The trend toward "bland but flashy 3D" has been around for a long time now, so it makes sense in my mind.

About ~ 15 years ago there were quite a few 2D MMO engines freely available, mostly written in VB6. The two big ones were ORE (a very basic FOSS project that didn't support much beyond logging in and walking around) and the Mirage family of engines (closed source, but was licensed and forked quite a few times, most notably into the Playerworlds engine). The various Mirage engines, especially Playerworlds, really lowered the barrier to creating MMOs, and consequently there were quite a few indie "MMOs" with userbases of ~ 50 - 100 regular players.

I know of at least one other FOSS engine project out there (Lunar Engine, which is much further along than my own) besides mine. My hope is that if a few easy-to-use engines are made available and promoted well, another community will form around these 2D indie MMOs. So we'll see what happens.

I think there was such a selection pressure when we were nomadic hunter-gatherers. Agriculture is a very recent development anthropologically, so we were still in the mode of one-kid-per-pregnancy, though multiple might have been advantageous. It's possible we developed higher fertility due to that, but we didn't have enough time for that new pressure to kick in.
Yours is one of multiple comments defending "Publicly calling out and blaming others" as a valid occasional behaviour.

In my experience, this has never produced any positive result for the companies I worked for.

I don't mean people don't make mistakes, I mean that the punishment strategy of blaming them don't seem to me to have any positive effect when used. Then again, I'm not very experienced, so have you (or anyone else defending this) had any positive experience with that ? (on either end of the interaction)

Hey, thanks for your interest and we do not have certificates like the traditional educational system and instead we have a resume-like profile page that shows the courses you have completed and the tasks if you have completed.

This way companies would know that you actually have the knowledge that you claim and can see your practical experience in completing tasks, which is something you won’t be able to prove with just a degree certification.

If you are an instructor you get paid when someone enrols in your course. We have 2 separate accounts for instructors and users for security reasons

I think infrastructure plays a great role.

An airport is expensive, but once you have it, you basically don't need infrastructure to link it to other airports. (I guess there's a few beacons, lights and ATC centres, but compared to the price of thousands of kilometres of rail, this is nothing.)

Compare to rail where you have to build and maintain all those kilometres that must cost a ton long term.

From an article I read recently about trains in France, a high-speed rail line is in the €15B range on average.
An airport is in the low billions (even Berlin new airport which is massively over budget is still only around 6B I think).

Maintenance of a rail line is €300k/y/km from the same article, when maintenance for the (empty) Berlin airport was in the 20M range.

In 2010, Dieter Zapf and Claudia Gross took 149 victims of self-described bullying at work and taught them various conflict resolution techniques and studied the results. The effect?

I'd dispute a lot of what is in that source. Their heat-maps of various characteristics are a correlation only, and a correlation among things which tend to go together (fertility rate, tv ownership (wealth), gdp per capita, and female literacy usually increase in tandem as part of a cultural shift). This does not necessarily mean they cause each other.

Though I’m sure the Mormons would cop to traditionalism calling a religion where the median man spent two years of his life in a foreign country insular is slightly odd, considering most Americans never leave their own country. Even aside from that cosmopolitanism Mormons have been state governors and been contenders for the presidency. Insular they are not.
Even poker in a casino probably isn't worth it unless your opponents are obviously drunk or bad players. After the rake and the dealer tip, there's a good chance your edge is zero or negative.
One strategy not mentioned is to double on win, not on loss. That way you only play with money you've won. Then you set a rule when to stop gambling, for example after 8 wins. This strategy works if there's enough span between min- and max bet. It was a strategy that worked till the 60s when the casinos killed it by closing the min-max gap. I proved it by simulating a million times.
You claim to want to stop what you see as a war against fun and diversity, after insisting that anyone who doesn't share the same juvenile sense of humor as you, or who disagrees with the name of a software project, must be an outsider trying to destroy hacker culture?

Actually that doesn't even work. When they don't have a payment method on file that they can abuse, they'll be happy to send your PayPal account into overdraft and start threatening legal action to bully you into settling the balance.

Really the only thing to do, as soon as you see a "pay with paypal" screen is to go away screaming.

Here's the anecdote: I had had a company with a bank account and PayPal account, then dissolved the company and closed the bank account. Months after that, a former supplier of the now nonexistent company who had PayPal authorization deducted funds fraudulently from the PayPal account, claiming they had rendered services that were never rendered to a company that obviously and provably no longer existed.

PayPal sent the account into overdraft. When they couldn't deduct payment from the bank account that no longer existed, they started sending threatening communications to get me to settle the balance. I took things up with their fraud unit to get the transaction cancelled. Their fraud unit dismissed my case without looking into any particulars regarding the services that the vendor didn't render or the company that should have received services that no longer existed. To them the only thing that mattered was that, years ago, I was, in actual fact, stupid enough to click on "Pay with PayPal", the ramifications being that vendors are entirely within their right to use PayPal as an instrument of fraud and legal intimidation against me. It's your own damn fault, sir, for being so stupid and using PayPal.

Knowing that taking the legal route would have been way more costly than the amount of the transaction, and wanting to sleep soundly again against the backdrop of PayPal sending threatening communications, I wired money from my personal account to settle the balance and jumped through a shitload more hoops to make sure the PayPal account was properly closed and couldn't come to haunt me again in the future.

I think that's how they get away with it: Since the transactions they handle tend to be small, no one will take legal action.
I don't even have to have my say, but I sure as hell would want to be notified with an explanation (ie: refunded customer, money sent to incorrect account)
