What do you mean "share" the road with cars? I walk almost everywhere. I have a Zipcar account that I use less than once a month and a bus pass that I use even less frequently. It is hard to say how many of my neighbors are car-less, most people seem to own cars, but not out of necessity — it is a pretty rich area.
Listen to yourselves. Look at what you're upvoting. Is this community reaching peak arrogance?

It can be rephrased as "We're so fucking smart we need to take steps to dumb ourselves down".

I'm prepared for the downvotes. But come on. Really?
The most interesting thing I learned today is: according to TPG, most customers will only need to provide the last four digits of SSN to apply.

On the one hand, this seems great for privacy - you can't leak information you don't collect, right? On the other hand, does this mean someone can impersonate you with just the last four now?
Banks in the US generally don't have APIs and adoption of contactless payments is not great.

I think that's the biggest thing here - you have a bunch of customers who will be incentivized to use contactless for better rewards. That should drive more people to use it and more stores to support it.
> And I believe there is great value in the ability for people to see these extremists ideas and not forget their existence. Not forget our past.

If that's your argument... why not just build a museum? Or have an educational program in schools?

Insofar as racially motivated terrorism is a plague, it seems like you're suggesting that we allow a reservoir for the plague so that we don't "forget our past" experiences with that plague. Contrarily, I'm happy to learn about Yersinia pestis in school or at museums, not by allowing an ecosystem for it to exist.
Hey john. Congrats on this, this is very interesting. From someone interested in ML/AI, can you explain just a bit more how the deep learning works?
Anybody planning on using this? Is it due to privacy or convenience (app stuff)? My current card get's 2.5% back on everything, plus other cards with rotating 3-5% categories. Not sure I will just to this just due to that .05%.
To place this in context -- Safari already does this and even more, hiding the path after the domain as well.

Firefox does something in the middle where it makes the "https://www." and path lighter gray, while the domain name is black.

I think this is just about ease of use and displaying the most relevant information. Regular users think of it as "google.com", not as "https://www.google.com". And the full URL is still there whenever you click through to select or copy.
Tit-for-tat. From my scarce knowledge of game-theory and world-politics it is generally accepted as the default move in these types of situations.

But well, if India sees Huawei as security threat, shouldn't they have a quite good justification for blocking them? It's not that they are outright punishing Huawei for just existing, but that there is, in their opinion, a real cause for them to fear Huawei of spying their networks behalf of Chinese government?

Although the real reason would be a lot more nuanced as usual with politics. But to me it seems a bit unfair. Russia and China (and others, sure) have effectively blocked many foreign companies in different sectors in their respective countries because of security reasons, so why India isn't allowed to do the same thing?
It sucks. Lots of NUCs come with a very small capacity Optane drive already installed. Many users want to replace it with a regular SSD. The nasty surprise is that the screw is overtightened. So when they try to unscrew it, a common outcome is to ruin the motherboard.
Clear, readable, up-to-date documentation is also a 'secret weapon' in another scenario: when you want people to adopt your software and use it. It doesn't matter whether you're selling to businesses or promoting an open source project - good quality documentation is the exception not the rule (even from large multi-million dollar companies).

You may think the program operation or the code you wrote is self-explanatory, but there will be dozens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of users who will never email or contact you to tell you they're struggling with your software. They'll just give up and silently go elsewhere.

Interesting links for studying RPS AI:

Playing rock paper scissors is about predicting what the opponent will play next given a history of moves.

Prediction is the dual problem of compression. For example if the history of moves is "RRR", you can try to compress the strings "RRRR", "RRRP", and "RRRS". Clearly the first one ("four Rs") is more compressible than the other two, so it is most likely that the next move in the sequence is also an R.

However, there is no universal compression [1][2] so there is indeed no universal optimal RPS player.

There are some interesting experiments with hospital operation models in India that try to make it more like flight. Every patient gets the same surgeon and treatment, but people who pay more get nicer facilities (private rooms, less crowding, separate waiting area for family).

It's not an equal model, but it is more just than what we have in America today.

2019: When the tech companies hit a ceiling of profit they could make through conventional business transactions, they decided to become banks.
Something that I think people are glancing over, this has some huge potential in the laptop / pro tablet space. I don't think someone like Apple would ever move to something like this, but standard NVMe mounting solutions are probably taller than they need to be. This is also a screwless solution which while not a huge deal, is pretty neat.

In my eyes, this sort of connector gives manufacturers no reason to solder on storage. There's the cooling issue, but looking at something like the MacBook I could see it integrated into the CPU block or even the bottom case. Hell, if they did the bottom case it might even give some support to the logic board and they won't have as many issues with the board flexing. No rubber pads needed!
But that is urban legend passed around illegal immigrants. Just watch "UK border force" or "Nothing to declare" on youtube. I am not from UK but it still was quite interesting thing to watch.
I agree that docs and code comments should complement each other. As a visual learner, I find diagrams showing how classes/objects fit together to be much more helpful than reading the documentation. A picture can replace a thousand words and tools like Vizio/Yed are really helpful in my opinion while at the same time minimizing the amount of documentation.
That's what the GP said, not me. "They're basically giving away services and throwing money at it to pad growth for Azure."
It's a bit like this: if the pay is too low, you make the jump to get the money.
If the money is good, you wait a few years and make a jump anyway because hopefully by then you've saved enough to be set for life (assuming normal pay elsewhere)
Hey, I don't want to use it either. But it's pretty obvious we need it.
The factory is in China because that's where the demand is and it's far more cost effective than exporting it from somewhere else.
Took years for this to become a reality, one of the reasons why they likely had to find a partner to pull it off.

If that's your success metric you are acting fraudulently as soon as you take investor money, because you won't get that without claiming to commit to the goal of making them rich(er) as well.
Just in the last few days I've been playing around with my HP48 and wondering how close to a reverse scheme with no brackets RPL is.

I figured the only real difference is that scheme has list of lists, but you can't have a stack of stacks with RPL.

Really cool.

The people can get what they want by buying an unlocked phone. It's not like it's hard. I haven't bought a provider-locked phone in over a decade, because I move and travel a lot. This guy is a criminal, plain and simple.
Was Smalltalk ever mainstream?

I'd say mainstream adjacent, like Lisp. There was once 80% penetration into the Fortune 500.

various Lisps have most, if not all, of the above features and much more mainstream use in the '80s.

One could argue that Smalltalk was designed in part to be a "Lisp for children." So of course, Lisps already had those features.
Getting into a doctor in the US requires long waits, too! The last time I bought insurance, I decided to get a long-overdue checkup, so I went hunting for a doctor in-network. There goes one afternoon, just calling around to GPs to see if they were accepting new patients. Nope.

A few weeks later I tried again and found someone could see me three months from then!

And I'm paying $400 a month to get this with a $6500 deductible??

The "long wait times" critique of Canadian health care makes no sense in the face of actual American health care access. It's the same here, except we pay coming and going for it.

I would say that banking in the US is good from a financial products perspective (we have lower banking fees than the Commonwealth), however our consumer financial products lag (i.e. credit cards, checks, online banking, etc).
TFA mentions:

"Another fork of L4-embedded is what now runs on the Secure Enclave of all Apple iOS devices."

All Apple iOS devices is pretty big.
Providing proof surely would. But I will say this company is more concerned with shielding themselves than their clients.
Wow, nice work!
I used to work for Webydo on the part that translate the DB to static files, tons of work and the result was basically an "uneditable HTML blob".

I would really love to see the output zip file, any change you have something less complicated that goes responsive to show?
The banking in the US is fine. The experience varies a lot based on where you live, however, and how well the local retailers have implemented their POS system. I also have the same abilities you describe, and I live in the US, but I live in a major metro area with pretty good technology adoption at the places I shop.
"very likely" would work better
All you need is 30 minutes of getting your heart rate up, 5 days a week. If you walk to the store 2-3 times a week, take a hike on the weekends, and jog around the block a few times on the off days, you're there.

I would say it's the reverse -- tech companies gain more market value from customer stickiness than banks generate in fees fucking over customers. The difficulty using this knowledge in the US has been regulatory and compliance related.
From the page:

> An Apple Cash card is required. The Apple Cash card is issued by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC. See www.apple.com/apple-pay for more information. If you do not have an Apple Cash account, Daily Cash can be applied by you as a credit on your statement balance. Daily Cash is subject to exclusions, and additional details apply.

(I'm not based in the US.) I'm guessing most US-based Apple customers already have an "Apple Cash" relationship/account with Green Dot Bank?

Go back to the first post in the thread that I replied to. The poster says, "Back in the early 2000s, I could call up my internet provider (Bellsouth) and talk to an actual, technically trained person who could intelligently diagnose and fix problems with my service."

I pointed out that this type of support is still available if you have a business account, and that it doesn't cost much more (if at all) to sign up for a business account with major ISPs such as Comcast than it does to sign up for a residential account.

I don't need the typing practice, so I'll stand by my point and leave it at that. SLAs and contractual obligations and whatever are not the topic of the subthread. The fact is, there are good reasons for technically-literate users to sign up for business accounts instead of residential accounts. Support personnel who don't begin the conversation with, "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" or who at least listen when you tell them that in fact, you have tried turning it off and on again, are one of those reasons.
the florentine pattern repeats again: start a manufacturer, end a usurer

nihil sub sole novum
In response to your second edit, I disagree with your claim that choosing to use the term “mother” vs “momma” is neutral or symmetric. When you choose to use the common term “mother,” it implies nothing in particular. Intentionally choosing to use the word “momma” on the other hand is not a neutral decision. You specifically chose to use it to refer to Black mothers. And your statement about “denying black identity” just reinforces the argument that you associate Black people with a certain manner of speech.

I have no bias against you. I’m just trying to explain to you why some people find your original statement offensive. Instead of defending it, just try to consider how it may make your audience feel in the future.
Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll read both of them.
There are very few Indian companies operating in China anyway.

India should block Huawei now even more. Just like in the case with US, China has more to lose that India.

Edit: in case there was any confusion, when I said "US" above I was referring to US-China not US-India.
Note that you can use tooth enamel, which freezes its carbon at time of development (instead of death). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20627335

That said, the error bars are simply too large to do anything reasonable for dates prior to 1955. The difference between 80 years and 110 years is 98.7% vs. 99.0% of the original C14 concentration... and while you may be able to get a very precise measurement of the remaining C14 you also need to very precisely know the baseline from that era to determine the percentage. Thus typical radiocarbon error bars are at least ±60 years.
Hey! Get back to fixing the MacBook!

Just kidding. It's cool to see the Apple design approach applied to a financial product. I'm happy with my current card, but I admit this is a much better designed experience (spend tracking, billing, customer support, software integration).

Will it be possible to run a web browser on an SeL4 kernel some day, or is that completely beside the point?

Obviously, formally verifying a modern web browser with a javascript engine and everything is a whole other undertaking, so I'll leave that aside. But the notion of using a very secure kernel as the base OS is appealing. Even if a hostile site broke out of the web browser, SeL4 should keep it sandboxed. Presumably, SeL4 could enforce isolation between different browser tabs. Is this something we can look forward to in the future, or are the performance expectations of modern javascript heavy web sites out of line with what SeL4 is likely to deliver?

Anyway, there are plenty of other applications beside the web, so glad to see that SeL4 is being used in real world deployments.
When a phone is “locked”, what does that entail? Is there a list of IMEIs somewhere that carriers check against when phones connect to their network, or is it something on the handset itself? If it’s software on the phone, surely it’s possible to hack it on the phone itself?
For what it's worth, my banks have these features other than Daily Cash. That feature is something I don't think I've seen before.

> It just looks like an Apple branded version of what I've already had for years.

It is an Apple branded Mastercard, with some level of iPhone integration. It is something you've had for years.
I am actually curious about how much land use changes and heat from human activities contributes to climate change.

Theoretically the limit to the number of people we could support on earth with unlimited energy (eg cheap fusion) is not limited by space or food or water (the later solved by energy) but by simple thermodynamics. We'd cook ourselves if there were too many of us. Note this happens at many orders of magnitude more population than we currently have.
Look outside the mainstream and you would have seen the people warning about the crash to come then. Nothing came of it as it turns out, but many crashes are not seen in the mainstream press in advance either so that doesn't mean much.
Focussing on the Wrong Things When Starting a Blog
I am not implying no technical skills are necessary to manage. The point is that hyper-technical skills in very specific niches seem to negatively correlate with people skills required to manage well.

Of course knowing enough about the product and space is important to make correct technical decisions as a manager. That goes without saying. The point is rather that the goal of a technical manager is not to come up with all of the answers, but put the right heads together to answer tough questions.
China has a history of pegging its currency to the US dollar. Is there precedent for pegging tariffs to the yuan?
> We are afraid that our effort on bamboolib will be wasted if there is no real interest in bamboolib, which is why we set ourselves the ambitious goal of 10k subscribers. We only want to build software that people REALLY want.

How do you know if they really want it if all you have to show are mock ups and no real functionality. Or even worse, using videos of OTHER SOFTWARE without mentioning that it's lifted from that and not from a WIP or anything like that.

This pisses me off way more than it should. The onus is ON YOU to do market research, not for the market to do research for you. You should know if this is in demand already or not. What's the point besides mining e-mail addresses?
Honestly things like phones and their networks should be built and maintained in their home nations
Does using the tooling depend on being translated through Lang? We are going to be setting up new internationalization tooling soon but have a robust human translation community already that we wouldn't want to bypass.
It certainly doesn't help that my options for shorts seem to be: cargo shorts, "dress" shorts, jean shorts, and athletic shorts. Given those options, I'll take my cargos every single time. I don't look better in the other three, and I'm certainly not going to wear athletic shorts all the time. If I'm not wearing shorts, I just wear regular jeans.

I'm not trying to win a fashion show at work while sitting in my office not talking to clients. I'm wearing clothing that's functional and comfortable. Only random people on the internet seems to actually care about this, and can never seem to explain why they care so much. It usually comes down to some spurious nonsense about "neckbeards."
Stop narcing on them on the internet, friend.
Hmm, to me that looks like how they join the individual cells, not the slates/shingles/tiles.

I could be wrong though.
Unlocking the phone doesn't break the contract though. AT&T is still going to charge you even if you stuff a different SIM in the phone. If you cancel your service then they'll tack on the ETF that covers the cost of the device. They wouldn't be losing money unless the guy was unlocking unactivated phones, which is an interesting legal area because technically he may never have entered into a contract with AT&T in the first place.
Stop trying to force this abomination on people. It's never been "lede" except with people who like to feel like they're cool. It's a neologism that needs to be quashed.

> Clearly everyone has had it equally difficult and there is no grouping of peoples that get systemic mistreatment, evidence and statistics be damned.

Never claimed that.

> Yes, people can have it hard. And people can have it hard out of proportion with their peers. This doesn't alter provable facts about sweeping populations.

I didn't claim it disproved anything. I was pointing out that life wasn't fair and there was poverty that you and I can't possibly fathom and it affected everyone no matter what the colour of their skin.

> And just like your grandmother disproves any systemic problem by difficulty, any success by any individual does the same, proving that they cannot be an exception to the rule.

Never claimed that.

It is really astounding that someone can spend so much time logic chopping and fail to understand what I was actually saying.

This lie of people having to be represented by someone of their own skin in a nonsense that is sold by activists to students to make them feel bad because of the colour of their skin. The person I was replying to had bought this nonsense.

The fact is unfortunately that racists (both white and black ones) will use this to further racially divide people about what happened in the past.
A little known fact is that you've never actually needed your SSN to open a credit account. They can and will locate your file just fine without it.
> seL4 is easy to do wrong

This was our main stopper. seL4 would benefit greatly to teach how everything can be fit together, and where everything can be expected to go.
Not necessarily arguing either point here, but phones are rarely subsidized anymore. You simply pay full price, at 0% APR over 12-24 months.
An ugly way around it is to compile your own version of unison. The good news, if I remember correctly, is that the binary can be built in one place and copied around to the other hosts (and say put in $HOME/bin.)

It's pretty clear that the author of the comment I originally responded to was not considering software.
Polarity Puzzles
> Don't fusion reactors have problems with vessel degradation from fast neutrons turning the reactors themselves into radioactive waste?

Yea and no. More neutrons per joule of output, but the waste is short-lived and easier to manage.

But also the neutron flux is so large that every atom will get knocked out of its lattice over the reactor lifetime, so the metallurgy is (I’m told by a metallurgist) complicated.
> Not at all. Slavery in Qatar is happening today, not in the past. The past can't be changed, but we can try to improve the future.

The effects of American slavery linger to this day. People are allowed to care about things that impact them more than things that don't, and for most descendants of American slaves the slavery that happened 150+ years ago (and the subsequent 100 years of Jim Crow) has a more direct impact on their lives than foreign labor exploitation.

> All it does is divide people and allow both Black and White racist to whip up hatred.

Can you please provide an example of black racism and explain how it has prevented white people from achieving equality with black people.
