How many dollars should Google be required to spend handling these appeals? Do you think fraudsters won't appeal as well? Some don't, but actually many of the most indignant/irate "customers" are the ones who have been caught in a scam, particularly if they are caught before they've actually closed the lid on it. They probably won't blog about it, but they'll definitely try to force the company to spend as much as possible dealing with them.
My experience is that with software there's very often no correct way to do it. It seems to me that most of engineering is simply deciding which compromises are acceptable to you today. Or picking something, and shoring up the leaks yourself.
“I’m sensitive to it,” >Speicher said. “I don’t know the scale or scope at this point in time but I don’t see it as being fundamentally different than our other experiments in the sense of ensuring that we can evaluate the tech without any exposure or concerns with privacy-related data.”

He is "sensitive" to privacy but he doesn't even know the scale or the scope. In the big data (data harvesting) era privacy is never priority. Always comes in second or third place
Relax, it's an art project.

It would never survive in the wild.

It's about taking a object and making you think. Which you've done.
I'm hoping that's temporary but for now I'm just using the card for Apple purchases and gas stations.
I have one of the matte black Cash App cards[1] that I use exclusively at festivals, sports events and all of my online subscription services. Basically it’s the card for ‘fun stuff’.

Been about 4 months of use, it’s held up incredibly well plus looks striking with the gold, raised embossed lettering of my “signature” (quotes here because I drew my name rather stylized versus using my regular John Hancock) and frequently gets positive inquiry from merchants “nice card what bank is this from?”

Here's an article pointing out Apple's warning not to put these cards into leather wallets. I'm guessing they want you to carry it in a silk sachel lovingly hung around your neck by a fine golden braid. It literally went to market with everyone knowing you can't put it where you normally put such cards.

For anyone looking for a metal card with fewer physical disadvantages than the Apple Card, you might consider an Amex Platinum. The card is very pretty, and mine has stayed in good condition after extended (and ordinary) usage. Of course, the Platinum card comes with a very high annual fee. It’s awesome if you travel a lot. If you don’t, you’ll struggle to make up for the fee. Beyond that, Amex customer support for me at least has been stellar, and their apps are quite good as well.
So the outcome of this would be that Nazis wouldn't be banned from the protocol but the client(s) that 99% of people use would not display anything the Nazis post (Mastodon is getting there already). Sounds fine to me but it would probably just shift the debate from deplatforming to client-stealth-banning.
> How does that even make sense?

They view losing this customer and all potential related profits, forever, as significantly cheaper than accountability and reasonability at their scale.
Doesn't mean it's a good idea.
I think you are missing out. Debuggers allow you to know the state of variables at every line, not just the ones where you print debug. Debuggers also allow you to set watch expressions and occasionally you step through library code which begins helping you understand the source of your dependencies.
I mean, didn't Freud invent the thing where the patient comes and he sits there and listens to the patient for an hour? My very vague impression of the field is that nobody agrees about the theories and explanations, but everyone follows the basic process he created.
More that the idea of eating a small loaf of bread, daily, is - as the sibling comment says - culturally ingrained in many European countries. It doesn't necessarily need to be a "real" bakery. Lots of people make do with supermarket bread.

But also bear in mind that in some places, eg rural France, it might well be a ten minute drive to the baker in the next village. People will still do it daily, or several times a week.

Also the case in the middle east and Asia, though it tends to be flat breads of various kinds. And in some places like India it's more common to just make it yourself.
Yea I didn't phrase that correctly. I tried to address it elsewhere but it just seems odd that these tiny projects are making so much noise over money while these larger, more integral ones have been going on for decades, providing much more value without turning your install process into a gofundme campaign.

FYI you can call Amex and ask them to waive or refund the fee. As long as you are a regular user of the card, they will do it in a heartbeat.
There's always at least one right way, but it may not be cost-effective to do it right.
CoinTracker (YC W18) hiring first generalist to accelerate open financial system
Hey HN,

I’m Chandan — one of the founders of CoinTracker (https://www.cointracker.io). Our product makes tracking your cryptocurrency portfolio and taxes a seamless experience. Our mission is to transition the world to an open financial system.

As far as cryptocurrency companies go, we are a little out of the ordinary. We didn’t write a whitepaper. We didn’t launch an ICO. We did raise a $1.6M seed round from YC, Initialized Capital, and others, but we’ve never spent a dime of it because we’ve been profitable (>$1M in revenue) since we launched in 2017. In less than two years, our users have grown to track over $1B of their cryptocurrency assets on our platform.

We are now hiring our first non-technical person to lead user outreach, customer support, community building, and play a critical role in championing the voice of the user in product development. This role also has significant scope for growth in responsibility as CoinTracker grows.

You can learn more about us and our story here: https://www.keyvalues.com/cointracker

If you are (or someone you know is) excited about the opportunity, please email me your resume and your favorite cryptocurrency at chandan AT cointracker DOT io.

The fact that wages have stagnated while productivity has skyrocketed is proof that there is insufficient and possibly decreasing demand for labor.

Personally, I like all the new automated services, and I would say the benefits have outweighed the issues. The gaps in the system don’t require as many people as before to fill, or perhaps the ones that are required don’t need to be as highly trained so they offer lower pay.

For example, Home Depot and Lowe’s websites now show you exactly where an item is in the store, which is very helpful to a shopper. But that may also cause some employees to be made redundant as they theoretically have more time to assist with other things assuming they are helping fewer customers find things. This one change might not affect the numbers, but combined with online ordering, in store pickup, self checkout machines, it might all add up to a few less positions at the store.
Every time I see people talking about the apple card, I have a bit of a double-take. The card was free right? It's not a luxury good, right? It lives in your wallet 99.9% of the time, right?

Also, it blows my mind that it doesn't support contactless. First American banks were behind by a decade on chip and pin, now they can't get on board with this either and it's holding back the adoption of contactless credit card POS readers in the USA which is also holding back Apple Pay. Weird choice.
Companies producing Android apps have no choice.
Well, when debugging in C/C++ (and I have used lot of debuggers) you may find they don't help you to find the hard to spot problems.

Sometimes a bug just doesn't pop when debugging due to differences in the memory management of the debug mode or race conditions in multi-threaded due to different timings...

So, "text-debugging" (like printf("I'm here") debugging) sometimes is the only way to find precious bugs.

Back in the day most of my colleagues only relied in printf debugging. But we were just a bunch of linux geeks developing kernel modules, linux apps and QT apps (QT brought a nice IDE for debugging, truth to be told)...
Oh god yes. I got mine a couple of weeks ago and almost immediately experienced the worst customer service ever from a bank (and that’s saying something). I was considered documenting my story and sending to The Verge or something, because they’d eat this up on launch day, but ultimately my laziness and lack of free time prevailed.

The short version is that it was similar to yours. Half my transactions were declined for suspected fraud. Most of the time I was able to approve them and retry, but when I booked a non refundable hotel stay in Europe and then had it cancelled on me a couple of days later, the serious downward spiral started. Their chat support was completely incompetent and after literally promising me (I have it in writing, the only good thing about chat support) that I would have no more problems with the card, the next day it was deactivated. Nobody I dealt with ever seemed to understand the concept of fixing a problem, they just kept repeating vague statements about protecting me, without ever addressing my desire to use my card to pay for things, which seemed like the whole point when I signed up for it.

I’ve since given up on it for anything other than buying slurpees at the convenience store.
It is a minor marvel that titanium can now be wasted on disposable ephemera.

But you totally can.

Apple just points out that the Apple card, like literally any other card can get scratched or discolored.
I've had the wonderful opportunity to work on several projects where AI/ML was not just used as a buzzword and marketing gimmick.

The two types of applications I've seen so far generate real value (and thus have monetary value where you can actually earn) are:
- Automate existing processes to either reduce the amount of work needed to be done (feature extraction from images or audio, document parsing) or to introduce a higher level of resolution/response time. For example forecasts for the next day every day or live detection of audio/visual events.

- Generating models to extract signals from massive or complex data. Usually once you're done here you can revert to traditional methods based on the newfound insights. Rarely is there "magic" solutions to optimize away your problems. In general it proves more to be a tool in the box to do analytics than it is a solution.

Either of those create new value and you can put a price on it. There's decent opportunity once you understand what are appropriate use cases.
what's the user case for this and how does this complements iptables? why do I need this?

BPF is very interesting, I remember one thing is that it's of very small size and has no loops, but I don't understand its use case for firewall yet.

Not the color itself (for example the RGB combination), but the pigment used to paint an object with that color.
No, that is not what I'm saying. I'm saying the most popular client will make its protocol proprietary and incompatible with any other clients, nazi or not. And no one will notice. Just like no one noticed when google hangouts or facebook messenger dropped xmpp.
I couldn't get my virtual card to do anything online. It's not just Google, but tons of companies refuse virtual cards. I gave up on it.
Fraudsters Used AI to Mimic CEO Voice in a Cybercrime Case
When these things happen, the pattern is always 1) shit happens, 2) company is unhelpful in resolving 3) victim writes it up and it ends up getting some publicity (e.g. front page of HN) 4) company says they're sorry and fixes the problem.

As I read OP, I wondered what I'd do. I guess I'd have to write it up on my mostly empty, pretty much dead blog. It would look weird and out of place on my mostly empty blog.

Then I look to the comments and see you calling them out for doing what I was just thinking I'd have to do.
Are you me? I started coding professionally in 2004 or 2005 (if memory serves) and a few years of tinkering before then. Your process describes mine almost to a T – building the mental model is the hard part, writing it down is mechanics more than anything else. It used to be the other way around; I didn't know how the mechanics worked so I worried more about that than the ideas, they seemed the trivial bit but over time that shifted. Not quite sure when it tipped over, but it definitely did.

(The last nota bene of your comment is particularly striking to me. I love tests and I try to automate them as much as possible, but sometimes you just gotta prod and poke the thing to really get a feel for it.)
>Do you really think the crooks who commit identity theft and ransomware attacks aren't salivating at these attacks?

I think the nation states that will want to use them will clamp down hard on two bit hustlers who interrupt the fun.
And then he went on to make the pinkest pink, the bluest blue, etc. None of which can be used by Kapoor.

Also note that vantablack is not "a color", it is a manufactured material, and that is entirely ownable (although Pantone will tell you that colours can, indeed, be copyrighted. At least by name, which is why they have identifiers for basically every colour that can be made at the moment...)
A child being able to identify a martini glass doesn't seem like a terrible loss of innocence.

Is this interesting? Not a shit post question - do routine minor security breaches rise to the level of noteworthy these days?
Heavier vehicles carry more kinetic energy and do more damage in a crash; taller vehicles are more likely to cause severe injuries to pedestrians.

Crossover SUVs are essentially antisocial - they confer no practical benefit to the driver over a sedan or a wagon, but create considerable additional externalities.
Compare and contrast with the Swiss cheese model [1].

There's not enough cross-domain awareness and discussion of such quips that approximate useful and widely-applicable mental models.

I'm echoing others when I say both! But I know we all have limited time.

For my part I'd just say either would be a great choice. One thing to keep in mind is that if this is your first experience with programming is that you will likely be learning something OOP-ish in class, whereas the books are focused on functional programming.

If you do dive into one or both of these books remember that there's more than one way to approach the underlying objectives that FP solves. After learning an FP approach some iterative/OOP approaches can feel alien, but they're still valid and widely used and that's likely what you'll be learning. I learned OOP first but prefer FP, YMMV, but learning both is always good.
facerig + live2d webgl should be able to do this already, in higher quality to boot.
I'll be interested to see the post-mortem on this breach for sure.

As an outsider, I would have thought that the Twitter security team would have a set of high-value users (with @jack being at the top of the list) who'd they keep very close tabs on in terms of any unusual activity.

Realistically Twitter is where announcements are made by world leaders and major corporations, control of these accounts could have repercussions, although in this case it just seems to have been a general hack...
It is karmic justice for yet another company that pushes SMS 2fa as "safe"
Cars are a really weird choice of consumer products to paint in vantablack. All the aesthetics of rigid car body shapes are obscured and you can't really appreciate it. Not to mention how impractical such a car would be.

I totally understand that this is an artistic concept and nobody is planning to mass-produce or sell those, but still.

What I really wanna see in vantablack is clothing. I think it'd look really interesting and eye-catching.
This has never been a secret. Even in television advertisements for plans like these the fine text says video is limited to DVD-quality (480p).
Andela Is Building Africa's Tech Ecosystem–and Microsoft Is Following Suit
That was my first thought too -- it seems profound, although it's difficult to articulate why. It's not like high-profile individuals have special security protocols available to them. Just the same password/2FA like the rest of us proles.

On the other hand, it did make me consider that there are some accounts that could be compromised that would be very significant: Trump.
Nailed it. I'd go so far as to suggest that mere reliability - and not deontological ethics - is probably where all the effect is coming from. In the article's example, the problem with the anti-hawaii-trip partner is not that they care about victims of malaria, it's that they seem to be reneging on an agreement.
> the merchant pays a fee when you use it

You do know that they increase the default price to compensate for the commission they pay to the banks right?

Ultimately the result is:

- the bank mostly is unaffected because it gets the point it gives you from the merchant

- Merchant increase the price that to compensate for the commission

- you are not affected because whatever you get as points you pay back with the increase in price

- whoever pays cash is paying 3% more which goes mostly to the merchant
Wouldn't that only work when it has focus?
So not to be decisive... but if you have a skill such as a talent for scraping why not look for a value-add for the world compared to primarily "rent-seeking" activities like the above. (Advertising is never a good way to make money)

Why not set up a scraping system that helps people improve accessibility by alerting them to flaws in their sites?
Jump Browser – Fast Browsing
> Assembling funds to build a bridge/tunnel/rail in your metro feels more tangible than livestock subsidies in another state?

It only feels more tangible if I personally will use it. In the case of things such as “should Berlin build a new tunnel?” (something I suspect I will never use), the trouble is the more effort I put into understanding such a possibility, the less it matters to me where it is. If I don’t use it, it doesn’t matter unless I make myself think about it, and if I make myself think about it it doesn’t matter if it’s Berlin or Beijing.

Of course, I might be unusual. I did move country after visiting several to decide which was a good choice, which implies a certain range of attitudes about the world. I regard governments the way most people regard smartphone brands.
> Lots of people are paying for Gmail

You mean organizations who use it as their internal email service, correct? What, exactly, do you get compared to the free Gmail?
They're likely correlated. Might be interesting to look at the outliers (places with low child mortality and low life expectancy after 5 and places with high child mortality and high life expectancy after 5)

Feross could easily get a job, but the point is that he wants open source to work. So much of everything you do every day depends on open source code, and every open source dev I know says its an utter shit show.

The alternative is Feross gets a job, and everyone invents their own stuff in-house, and we end up with 'open source' that is just what profitable companies want to have as open source. The set of things companies decide to open source is not a good overlap with the set of software that should exist.
People who want to take control of their own lives, and curate the mix of knowledge / fact / falsity / opinion / propaganda / disinformation / useful-idiocy in their own heads can technically head in this direction today.

I think a key ingredient is translators that move content out of the platform-bubbles into the world you control. You can move material between RSS, email, blog channel easily, if you choose. Harder but doable is to crack the walled gardens of social media.

These can fuel development of better forms of expression than the primitive nonsense so often used today.

Many people have major barriers; not interested in taking control, not going to build anything myself, fear of leaving the mob, will accept advertising, want somebody to tell me what to do, too rushed...

That's fine, they will continue. Those who want can, and are, going down the other road.
This isn't a "routine minor security breach".

Amazing book. I recommend it a lot.
I agree to use protocols, and not platforms (it would be better to do that rather than what a lot of stuff including Hacker News are doing). I wrote my own software for IRC and NNTP (both client-side and server-side), but you don't have to use mine and you can use your own or others too. Regardless of protocol services are still required, but you can use other services with the same protocol; you can set up your own server if you do not want to (or cannot) use theirs, for example. And, SMTP is good for email, compared with having to use a web browser. (And, there still are free Usenet servers (some require registration and some don't).)

Decentralized systems also will help. However, I think ActivityPub and so on are too complicated; NNTP and IRC is good. Also, sometimes some federation with others might not be wanted, or only partially, or whatever reason; sometimes the policy also might not match what someone else has. That is one reason I write a specification of Unusenet, which specifies a format for newsgroup hierarchies which are not part of Usenet (it is possible for the same server to feed both Usenet and Unusenet, though). Perhaps I think even should set up a NNTP for Hacker News, too. (I also invented a Netsubscribe protocol, which could be a simpler alternative to ActivityPub/Mastodon.)
