The advertised payment UX use cases are already covered in Europe by challenger bank debit cards/apps like Revolut and N26. Apple is not really innovating here, but taking the model from startups and executing it within their large loyal audience.

This will make it difficult for challenger banks to get foothold in the US. Furthermore if Apple Card is supplied out of the box with iPhones, it might definitely change dynamics in card markets.

Edit: Even the site has similar dynamics as Revolut front page minus cryptocurrency scenarios https://www.revolut.com/

Hey! Requesting and receiving translations work with any language including left script (right-to-left) languages. In the future, we want to solve the page layout problem for RTL languages as we've seen it's a big pain point.
I want my surgeon to know the procedure cold, but I would definitely not mind having a backup in the form of a checklist.
I am somewhat obsessed with improving my driving skills, particularly w.r.t. anticipation and accident avoidance. I also got into the habit of using checklists for important but repetitive tasks after reading Gawande's book,

Now I am kicking myself that I never thoguht about applying point-and-call to driving. I can absolutely see the benefit, but would need to think about the details. Do you point out only traffic signs and signals, or things like potential threats too?
There are lots of security manuals for beginners suggesting to look at the ends of URLs. Imagine the amount of confusion it will introduce.

Does Mac still have resource forks? Either way, I'm sure it still has decent magic number decoding. Who (except family members in windows?) would care about the missing extensions?

The only real reason i care is for vim file detection (in Linux). How sad is that? :'(
> The last hackathon I attended, the winners....

(Not a comment on you, but you poked the button)

While my hackathon experience is limited, I think any attempt to crown a "winner" reduces the experience. Of course, I am too sensitive because everyone can just enjoy it...but as soon as there's a winner there starts to be rules that people try to game, the are added restrictions and limits that reduce what is being created, etc. And creating is the point.
Nope, they show nothing of that sort.

It also has to be mentioned that the defendant has been convicted by three independent instances of the Brazilian justice system (local, regional and superior courts), each time unanimously.
>T-Mobile even unlocked the phone for me before that time was expired when I explained that I was traveling to Europe and wanted to swap the SIM when abroad.

Thanks for posting that, as I had no idea it was possible. I personally don't buy locked anymore, but last year that definitely would have saved me some trouble.

>it was made clear to me that the phone could be unlocked after a period of time. The period was shorter than the contract period.

I am with T-Mobile as well, and IIRC there are two main options for unlocking:

1. After you pay the price in full early.

2. After 18 months on a 24 months contract.
With so many good restaurants, why would I go back to one where I had a bad time?
You really think that Microsoft is losing money on Office 365 subscriptions?
This was never a problem with classic Mac OS.

Files had a type code and a creator code. The type code told application whether they could open the file. The creator code told the Finder which application to open when the file was double-clicked.

It was impossible for the user to change either (in the stock OS).
> Sure. That's why I qualified my statement: "not entirely new" and "fairly novel" rather than "entirely novel" because I'm aware that the U.S. Constitution is not the first time these notions have appeared in law. It was specifically an attempt to head off a pedantic reply such as yours.

I have no idea what you're trying to argue anymore here, because you seem to be both arguing that the concept of free speech was a radical invention of the American Revolution and that the fact that it predates the American Revolution is "pedantic."

(If you really want to be pedantic, the modern concept of expansive First Amendment rights is actually novel, but dates to the mid-20th century, when SCOTUS started interpreting these rights very expansively and setting up series of very stringent tests. I rather assume that the founding fathers would have been horrified at the depths that Brandenburg v Ohio went to protect offensive speech; it's certainly more radical than is the case in most countries even today).

> You're simply incorrect.

The statement "shouting fire in a crowded theater" is a reference to Schenck, where the justices used that as the example of why advocating against the draft was not constitutionally-protected speech, motivating the "clear and present danger" test that was explicitly overturned by Brandenburg's "imminent lawless action" test.

In other words, Brandenburg v Ohio was quite explicitly saying that the bar for what speech is considered so dangerous as to lose its constitutional protection should not be set at a level that is merely upsetting to people but rather at the level where it is at the literal cusp of violence.

> There are innumerable other types of speech this ruling did not address. Libel, threats, etc.

Of course not. But for the kind of speech that is in question, namely these white supremacist manifestos, it is exactly the case that rules.
In the specific case of China its more like the Government owns the big companies. But yes, basically.

Is there a way to be included if we have fewer than 15 followers?

Thanks!

I don't think that's what checklist fatigue means -- it's not about boredom or tedium.

It means that the more you keep having to skip over irrelevant items and the more you still depend on remembering other things that aren't on the checklist, the less likely any human being is to reliably follow the checklist -- because they accidentally skip over an item thinking it was the irrelevant one, or jump back to the wrong item (skipping others) because they got "off" the checklist to do steps that weren't on it.

The point of a checklist is that it's supposed to be a single idiot-proof source of truth in a specified area, reducing mental complexity and therefore reducing errors.

Once it stops being that because it isn't perfect, it can easily increase mental complexity which requires more brain use and increases errors. That's the fatigue.

So it's not a question of just "getting over it".

This is absolutely stupid. The www subdomain and the bare domain are not equivalent and should not be treated as such.

Hiding the protocol is also stupid if it's still shown for other protocols, like ftp or http.
> there's a million fiddly things to get right, and Unison hasn't had that much usage

Unison is the only bidirectional sync tool that I trust to get the details right. It is backed by a formal model with various proofs of correctness. Such models are also easily representated in OCaml; which I can assure you is more than a fine language, especially if one cares about correctness. Dropbox has struggled to get these details correct in the past (see the paper "Mysteries of DropBox", by Unison's author Professor Benjamin Pierce). TLDR, Pierce teaches these Python hackers how to fix their broken code.
It works just like a wireless ISP, but it's installed by volunteers.
In this particular case I think it's the other way around. The government owns the company.
Ether was a new tool that lets you do something you couldn’t do before.

The chronos 1.4 I have will do 640x96 @ 21,649fps for $3k. So that's 20 times faster for 50 times the price; pretty close to your estimate. The chronos does have a few other amenities that make it worth the price.
I've been using Unison since... forever.

A hint regarding running the latest Mac binary on Mojave: if the GUI crashes on you, it's likely to be an issue regarding syncing file _permissions_ and not just files.

This has been biting me for a couple of months now whenever I sync my development tree between Dropbox and OneDrive, since Windows' WSL tends to set wonky 0x777 permissions on entire file trees, and it is usually those that cause Unison to crash.

Otherwise, I've been using it to sync 400K+ files without incident.
Then get 10 Pi's to get 640x640?

Grand Schemozzle: CVE-2019-1125
I mean, this is just the logical conclusion of capitalism. A few monstrous companies dominating industry. It was held back from eating itself some time ago when a bunch of massive corps were broken up, but that doesn't happen anymore. Ironically, big business propaganda about how great big business is has swayed the public so far away from regulating it that there's now nothing standing in the way of capitalists destroying the capitalist system.
> ??? What does that have anything to do with the comment you replied to?

Absolutely everything. This myth there hasn't been representation of minorities or women completely neglecting the fact that there has been plenty going back to mid 20th century.

> Classic whataboutism. We can care about multiple things at the same time.

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.

> Minorities have much better access and representation in media today than they did in the past but it's still far from equal, particularly on the business side which has major influence over our media because that's where decisions are made about which projects get funded and which don't.

Do white people have equal representation in Thai Cinema? What about rich white people always playing the bad guys there? This is a lie that is constantly sold to constantly sow racial division and people like you trot it out over and over again. All it does is divide people and allow both Black and White racist to whip up hatred.
>I've never even heard of her and none of their works sound remotely familiar

Right in my original comment...
The fact that Fuschia is a large project without any public purpose, roadmap, architecture process, or governance invites these theories. If you want to be so mysterious you can't complain when people speculate.
I still have a few privacy questions that I can't find answers to:
1. Will merchants that you purchase from know your name?
2. Does it work with online stores that don't support Apple Pay? Will you have to use your real name and billing address?
Well I hope you and people you love aren't the ones who get shot next time some 8chan asshole decides to go on a rampage.

Small price to pay for... what exactly? Forcing companies to host hate speech?
Rather amusingly, both Panic's Unison and this Unison used the same ~/Library/Application Support/Unison directory on macOS. Thankfully they used different filenames and so didn't end up conflicting.
And out of date documentation can be a footgun.

I would rather a Dev spend time reading well written, self-documenting code than "documentation" that has become months or years out of date.

As systems become large and complex - and evolve - the work to keep documentation up to date becomes enormous. I have seen many project that generate reams of documentation at the start, and for almost all of it to never be updated again even after major shifts in design and technology.

And arguing that documentation can compensate for poorly written code as far as maintainability goes is simply absurd. Yet if it really is a "secret sauce" it would do so.

I would MUCH rather a comprehensive unit/regression test suite than copious documentation, and I think reading tests is one of the best ways, if not the best way, to start understanding a code base.

The Power Glove
The team has some experience with C# and Java which makes it easier to go with C++, an then there is a little knowledge of C++17. I think from this perspective its clear that C++ would be the better choice in our case.

I may be misinformed but from what I've seen so far is that Rust crates can be super beneficial and speedup development (where there is an obvious lack of a well-established package manager for C++), but neither Google nor any of the other major C++ shops do provide a Rust <-> C++ lib bridge. For example there does not seem to be official Google support for the v8 engine/leveldb under Rust forcing me to thrust a single Crates maintainer doing some porting in his free time.
Why don't they display such URLs as:

via.net -> google -> secure-payments / whatever/whatever.html

I mean, I'd hate it, but at least it puts the public suffix up front and centre^Wleft. And it doesn't hide and part of the URL from the user, it just mangles it (but in a way that arguably enhances the user's ability to understand WTF they're looking at).
They're still pretty bad

>Apple is not really innovating here

Every now and again I like to remind people that Apple doesn't really do "innovation". They do polish and mass-market appeal. Apple's rarely ever first to the table with any technology. They take what others are doing on a limited scale and ramp it up to the mainstream with a spit-shine.

>The indictment doesn’t get into how Fahd was caught. He was arrested in Hong Kong in February 2018 at the request of U.S. authorities. Fahd was extradited from Hong Kong to the U.S. last week to face 14 different charges in federal court

interesting that extradiction to US is ok while to mainland China - isnt. Speaks volumes about whom HK people trusts more, and it doesn't look very promising wrt. peaceful and harmonious full integration of HK.

Wrt. the original post - impressive that AT&T couldnt notice what was happening at that scale for that long. Somebody need to sell them one more audit software package.
You are correct. For now, we're focusing on tracking only outdoor runs utilizing GPS and accelerometer. In the future, we're evaluating different ways to quantify the intensity of work outs at the gym.
I recently thought... sure everyone says it's the CO², but then I saw articles that said, the CO² didn't change as much as they said it did. 4% of the atmosphere or so, because water takes it up and some kinds of stones do the same.
What if we generally just generate too much heat? And the heat gets trapped in the atmosphere? Every time someone uses energy, it generates heat. Everytime we make energy from hydrocarbon, we generate heat.
Would there be a way to let the heat go to space? Or if we want to preserve it on earth, a way to turn heat back into hydrocarbon?
It does not come from nowhere. And for many kids it simply does not appear just because you threatened to remove xbox. And followed up on that threst.

The poor impulse control remains poor impulse control. They will grow up from that, but in the mean time if you expect self regulation they are not ready for yet, both you and them are in for very unhappy time when they both play too much and are regularly punished for that - despite not being capable to self regulate yet. One would almost say that it is unfair.

> Nobody had it easy in the past.

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

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.

> The reality is that there are plenty of people from all races that have made it to the top of society.

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.

> while being broadcast on the very media they claim to have no representation in

I think if you dig a bit you'll find a lot of things you aren't seeing. And surely just one case will prove the whole, right?
I was just thinking about the comparison between the medical industry and airline industry. In medicine you can (or have to) pay a premium to get the best doctors and expertise [1]. In the airline industry, the safety aspect is standardised across the board.

It doesn’t matter if you are flying economy or 1st class you get the best in class safety, which is collectively shared across the industry. We pay a premium for the service and not to have better chances of surviving.

In an alternate universe, we could have had cheaper airline tickets which had not so great safety record and the good ones only in reach of the super wealthy.

[1]: I’m aware it may not be the case in some countries with completely free healthcare, but this applies to the majority of the world. Even in those countries with free healthcare for all, it is not uncommon to see huge wait times for some important procedures and being able to skip it by going through a private hospital.
I don't understand Foursquare. They are perfectly positionned to compete against Yelp, and I even try to make an effort to use them but their insistence on gamification is very off-putting. Meanwhile, Facebook has been aggressively building its own database.

I used to use it daily to sync projects, music, and documents between computers too. It was really nice once I got it configured to my liking. I would sync my work computer to a external hard drive and the external drive to my home computer, thus creating a very powerful sneakernet and an implicit backup on the external.

I reluctantly installed Dropbox one day after forgetting my external drive at home. Honestly, that was the beginning of a miserable time. Dropbox never really delivered, it took forever to sync, and constantly caused the internal disk to trash. I had tons of other problems with Dropbox over the years and was very happy the day I quit using it.

I still have a unison alias in my .profile

Coding Interview Questions-Reservoir Sampling
I think a lot of famous programmers did good work because they had the freedom to explore things and iterate until they had something that was good. In my company you often have to explain yourself after a day or two so you feel constantly guilty because you didn’t produce anything.

But my best work was often done when me and others had weeks or months to play with things without interruption until we found an approach that really worked.
Between 2014 and 2018 or so, the mainstream economic outlook was really good. Unemployment feel below 5%, consumer confidence finally turned positive, economists were complaining about Yellen's continued doveishness towards interest rates when economic indicators showed things were strong, then the tax cuts and associated bonuses and reinvestment.

Brexit happened in mid 2016, the US trade wars start up in late 2017, consumer confidence fell off a cliff last year, etc.

Yeah, there's segments where doom and gloom is perennial. But mainstream reporting tend to report based on fundamentals such as employment, wages, corporate profits, etc.
