You're required an ID card (in most country in europe, a digital id) to prove your are the owner of the bank account and in case of a procuration, you still have to prove you id and you need the procuration itself which contains reference of id card of the account owner and other details.

You could theorically withdraw money from an account by faking the procuration, providing you know the id details of the account owner, but you are still required to present your id card which contains a digital photo of you to prove you are who you pretent to be.

Fake id are maybe common in the us thanks to your broken SSN system but in europe, digital id cards are centralised from the moment you're registered as human being at your birth and banks have access to that system when they check your id.

Any attempts to withdraw money from your account leave a trace, and in case of fraud, you would be quickly with the cops on your trail.
Because of the lack of contemporary sources. We know a lot about Plato and Aristotle because their writings are preserved. For Socrates we have several independent contemporary accounts.

This is just not the case for Alexander. The sources we have are hundreds of years removed. Presumably they are are based on now-lost contemporary accounts, but who knows how much is embellishments.
I guess that’s why you’re sprinting 3 instead of 2.
The projects would be immensely less valued, less used, and less popular if restricted to non-commercial use. Can you name me a single NPM module that limits to non-commerical use that would be widely known within the JavaScript community? ...Maybe GSAP?
Mine is less than 6 months old and already at least 3 keys are malfunctioning. The Apple rep reckoned I would be without my machine for at least 3 days - and that is unacceptable as I need it for my work. In the end I bought an external keyboard.

They don't need to offer free trade-in. When the new machine is available I will buy it. Then return this broken one for a full refund. And there are literally half a dozen laws in the UK that entitle me to do so.
I agree it’s all marketing for people who feel they can barely afford to fly (but need to fly anyway), and who don’t use/trust comparison sites (middlemen).

I wonder if the aggressive upselling during the booking flow is part of this marketing too. If you really want the cheapest possible flight you will carefully decline all upsells and double-check the final bill for surcharges. This makes you feel you’ve shrewdly whittled the price down as far as possible.

Another way of looking at it is it just wears the customer down. If the booking flow were too smooth and didn’t include many points where the customer is forced to decline added luxuries, then you might be more likely to pause before confirming the transaction, and maybe open EasyJet’s site for a quick price comparison.
No idea why this comment is getting downvoted. It's like an arms race out there, where every trick in the book is being used to manipulate people and capture their attention.

Few years back I had an option to work on a recommendation system for a large video hosting service used by most media companies. They allowed me to spend two weeks with their engineering and sales teams. It was scary to say the least. The number of companies and layers of infrastructure all just mindlessly optimizing for ad clicks, watching viewers being bought and sold in real time like some kind of mad fish market, targeting of specific groups purely because they are hooked to the content rather than a valid target for the ad etc etc etc. I got out of there as fast as I could.

There is a category of dumb people in the world, who don't have the capacity to understand how dumb they are, nor does humanity yet posses the skills to enlighten them in a timely and effective manner.

Historically this group's stupidity has had localized effects. Today thanks to a global network they are hooked into, the effects of their mindlessness is amplified to levels no one has ever imagined.

At the beginning they do what they are told to do or what people around them are doing. And if they get very good at it and you tell them to stop because its causing issues, they wont. They cant. There is nothing sophisticated, that can be done about them other than cutting access to the network. This will take decades to fix.

When people sit around wondering (and coming up with all kinds of reasons which further obscure things) why they see random, inexplicable events happening all over the world, ask them to take a peak behind the curtain, at the mindless mega machine that is the ad serving ecosystem.
I purposefully decided not to attempt to use a bunch of excuses to get out of it actually, because I was interested in the experience.
Why would Ryanair ever have a crash?

Because they hurl large, heavy, metal objects with people on them into the sky at hundreds of miles per hour, thousands of times per day. Historically, that activity has resulted in some small percentage of those flights not coming down safely. The math says that it is quite likely to happen over the course of enough flights.

I saw a photo of Stallman drinking bottled water once, which probably contradicts with his ideology that water wants to be free.

Regarding the topic: I really love what TypeScript has done and where it is today. I wish more people would adopt it or at least support it with proper definition files. I mean there is DefinitelyTyped.org but it has its flaws. Unless it's not a first class language like within Angular I still find it somewhat hard to work with it because of interoperability with plain JS libraries, which always ends in some trade-offs.
yeah but the money they'd save is money that would go to microsoft through windows licenses and support, why would they want to lose that?
What would that lawsuit allege? Under contract law, companies have a right to terminate their dealings with others, for any or no reason. Maybe it would be good if there was a law restricting that for these platforms, but as far as I know, there isn't. So I don't see how a lawsuit could be successful.

Ask HN: How to Get an Karma?
I want to link my Keybase account and need an Karma, but I only read things here.
Ah I see, yeah you have a point. It might start out that way, but probably tip to a failed airlift. Yet the scenario OP was trying to paint of a bankrupt post-WW2 UK militarising the New Territories whilst threatening to go nuclear is pushing it much nearer Korea 2, becoming WW3 in the aftermath. We hadn't enough troops since 45 demob to build adequate numbers without dropping some NATO Cold War commitments - Germany etc.

I just don't see it playing out OP's way at all. Events would rapidly turn it to something very different and dangerous.

In wondering how, I end up with only lots of unanswerable questions. Cut half our presence in Germany so soon after the Airlift? Cut the naval and air shadowing of Moscow? Move a couple of carrier groups to HK? What;s the USSR going to do in response in Europe? How to work the nuclear threat? Polaris didn't arrive until the end of the 60s. So move all our 50s nuclear deterrent, which was only ready mid to late 50s, to Malaya with then Communist inclined rebels maybe? I think Victors, Vulcans and Canberras needed more runway than Kai Tak then had. They weren't carrier capable. So where you going to put them? Taiwan? Except Taiwan was predicted at risk of falling through the 50s, which is why US military support didn't come until the end of the decade. Besides, that starts to look like the West mobilising for WW3. A robust response becomes more and more likely.

OK I can't make this novel's plot work. :)

They also tend to be sensitive about arbitrary code execution, especially when running in a build system, which may be near things like deployment keys.

The only thing keeping npm from turning into a minefield are norms around what is socially acceptable, so developers tend to get super angry when this norm is challenged.

While I think that TS offers probably the best type system out ther, eg way better than Go's, I'd love to see a more balanced view on TS in discussion threads like this one.

TS is a must for long-term code which should be maintainable in several years by teams. Any lead engineer with responsibility for some crucial app and dev team not using TS is doing something wrong. But using TS comes at a cost. Even when you are savvy in TS you won't bang out code like with pure JS.

But especially in prototyping phases you need this fast-paced coding. And using TS or any type system slows you down, even when you are familiar with typed languages. Often your final code faced many iterations and I sometimes like to introduce TS later, usually at a point where I just need types but not always and as default from the first key press. In early stages I still try to test ideas, algorithms and their general feasibility and a fast 'mind-to-code' interface is crucial and types would stay in the way then.

Further, finding the right type can take some time, just google what type a React's children prop should be and find long discussions. Welcome to the TS-what-type-is-actually-xy-rabbit-hole. And declaring everything as any shouldn't be the answer.

A big drawback are also TS error messages which are super hard to grasp. You get there and you even find tutorials just for understanding TS error messages but it's unecessarily infuriating.

Moreover, VSCode, its TS language server are amazing pieces of tech but here you face also strange behaviours. Types get full Intellisense support while interfaces don't which doesn't make sense. So you need still to go the definition yourself and it's not that IDE-like feeling you hoped for or people told you.

In my setups, I use TS instead of Babel but use both JS and TS files in one code base depending on the requirements and situation.

So, my message is, yes TS is great, has probably the best type system but the tonality by its community/users needs to be much more balanced and less fanboy-ish. I just can't take devs serious who praise TS to death. This is just not true. More, maintainable code is also not just created by a type system but also sane architectures (eg React) and many other factors. Types won't make bad code maintainable. So, types have their place but not everything in TS-land is shiny.
That's what everyone says about bad places. That's what they always say when asked to do terrible things.

There will be people they could hire, but it wouldn't be anyone that would get invited to conferences, and so on. Nobody that would make Stanford proud.

People who work at Google know they are working for a terrible company doing terrible things (there are plenty of those...) but those programmers, every single one of them, is able to easiliy work somewhere else. It isn't like they are warehouse workers slaving for Amazon.
No, but you're moving it. Can you have the same message in three folders?
Look, I don't know what your personal experience is, but mine is that fabrication, or at least very optimistic interpretation of results is routine in most science shops. Many PIs actually spin up their PhDs results. This is so common nobody even talks about it anymore.

Yes, this has everything to do with capitalism. The optimal situation for science is when research institutions are surrounded by riches, i.e capitalism, but science is itself not too much constrained by money.

Capitalism does not reward honesty. It rewards ambition and greed. Today's universities faithfully reflect that.
I had been using it until a FLOSS alternative showed up (Open Note Scanner), it was very annoying in terms of ads, but I'm surprised that is has some kind of malware inside
I liked my 2019 MBP keyboard too. Until one week I noticed it kept repeating e's and n's. And then I learnt its not fixable unless you are prepared to go without a machine for 3 to 14 days. And then I learnt from Rossman Youtube that your machine might never be the same again after Apple's "genius"'s get their hands on.

Honestly, I thought it was all a fuss about nothing. But it isn't. BTW my machine is 6 months old. It started malfunctioning 2 months ago.
> devs I know are very sensitive to ads/privacy, much more so than to paying money

In case it's not clear to other readers: `funding` had no tracking, no data collection, and no code from untrusted third parties. It was a `console.log` with some fancy formatting.

> Despite your good intentions, your ads will involve analytics/tracking, which you ultimately can't control

They certainly would not. I was very clear to the sponsors that there would be no analytics. I even took pains to ensure only plain ASCII (excluding control characters) could be printed out. https://github.com/feross/funding/blob/58b090c51ce94de32107d...

Wow, if what she says in her original post is true, the guy is a regular sociopath. She claims he completely switched off his affection for the son and then used him as a tool against her. Then justified his philandering by giving Eric Schmidt as an example, and claiming it's his right as a powerful man.

No wonder the company's abusing the privacy of everyone and was keen to support a totalitarian regime with such "leaders".
Not only in Japan. I know of at least one big, US based multinational that does exactly that.

There meeting rooms are also tied to the attendees, so that only they can open the door. Disruption goes way down when others can't just grab something from an occupied meeting room.
Just because the company is doing shitty things doesn't mean that every engineer does.

Plus, imagine how it could work in reality. You finally got your place at Google. You know what the company is doing. And at some point you are asked to work on one of these grey things. What do you say, that it's immoral? If so, where exactly do you draw the line? Who is to decide what's still acceptable and what not? You've known for years that Google is tracking everyone. Moreover, most of it is perfectly legal. In any company, whenever you say "no" to your manager you need to have a solid ground. I can't imagine anyone even starting such a conversation.
If C++ is just as fast as C except when it's not, then it's not as fast as C.

More importantly, it's not easy to tell when you're going to hit performance issues with C++. You need an obscene amount of knowledge of both the language as well as hardware to get a sense of what to use to match C performance.

In the related work section of their paper they mention that WANNs are related to genetic programming [1], a subfield of evolutionary algorithms.

Genetic programming is quite a powerful tool. IIRC, a few years ago, a researcher evolved expressions to model the dynamics of a double pendulum based only on measured data. To his surprise he found that the expressions were the Lagrangian of the system.

Pressed ecstasy pills are probably the best example of this. For instance, the old White Doves back in the 90's. People are reluctant to buy a press they haven't encountered before, and are more happy and willing to buy a familiar "brand" of pill.

Of course, once a particular press has a reputation for quality, the fake imitation presses come in, diluting the market and eventually destroying the brand's reputation.

>Unless I see a mathematical proof that evolutionary algorithms are as efficient as RM AD, I see little future in it, and apparently neither did biology since it decided to create brains.

In the biological context the complexity is shifted away from the actual selection algorithm and onto the "scoring function." Although the filter of reproduction is relatively simple [1], the reason why the organism was fit and could ultimately reproduce is very complex. The brain's "topology" is the result of selection pressure favoring adaptations that improve fitness by dynamically adapting to relevant patterns found in the environment. The brain attempts to accurately model important aspects of the complex environment it's challenged with to increase fitness.

[1] Nothing in biology is ever actually simple, even though individuals undergo fitness based scoring, the actual notion of individual is arbitrary. In the case of bees most of the individual bees in the colony are sterile, which is obviously bad for fitness of the "individual." However a few individuals reproduce, so all the sterile worker's fitness is shifted onto the queen/drones through the concept of inclusive fitness. This indirect selection also applies to humans, who undergo inclusive fitness through their siblings. This can even be generalized to your individual cells/organs which function as a colony supporting the gonads which actually undergo direct selective pressure.
Do they spend much time talking about Armadillo and/or rocketry? I'm curious to hear Carmack talk about those topics but I'm not sure I want to wade through 2 1/2 hours of Rogan if he doesn't delve into rocketry.

I personally don't use Reason. It's syntax is supposed to be more familiar for people coming from JavaScript, but for me, it's weird. My least favorite aspect is the function syntax (both lambdas and function application). Are functions still curried, or...? If they are, then the syntax should reflect that.

As for BuckleScript, I wish that it had better integration with the main OCaml ecosystem. BuckleScript is supposed to work well with NPM, but I am more interested in OPAM. I personally use js_of_ocaml, a compiler to JavaScript that works well with the OCaml tooling.

If Reason and BuckleScript can bring more people to OCaml, then I'm glad. However, I perceive that the people coming to OCaml with BuckleScript seem to be making libraries based around the NPM ecosystem. I feel worried that a separate OCaml ecosystem will come into existence. However, I have not observed any other OCamller voice these thoughts, so I'm probably alone or misinformed here. I'm not too knowledgeable about the JavaScript trends.

Your comment refers to me as an "OCaml person." Please know that these opinions are my own and do not in any way represent the collective OCaml community's opinion on Reason and BuckleScript.

It doesn't really matter what it "clearly" is. Equally clearly there are women who feel offended by it.

Also please be aware that many comments here are complaining about complaints of a minority (among developers) they don't belong to.

It's really not a big surprise that white male developers don't quite get why black female developers feel offended. Maybe something to think about...

And even if you don't agree that something is offense-worthy, please just acknowledge that some people genuinely do feel that way and that most of them are actually silent on the issue, exactly because of the reactions on display here.
by no means does it apply to everyone though, my nature means i tend to form short obsessions with things, at one point that interest turned to psychoactive chemicals. i have personally tried 5-MeO-DMT and a staggering number of other psychedelics, many have been fun and interesting but not once have i had any sort of meaningful or spiritual experience of any sort, no ego death or loss of sense of self etc
