A possibly stupid question from a neophyte: what was the driving force behind Moore's law when it was in operation? Did it become a self-fulfilling prophecy by becoming a performance goal after becoming enshrined in folklore, or is there an underlying physical reason?

It's only ISA-like for businesses whose low-profit times are their low-revenue times, like seasonal businesses. But often businesses have a relatively steady stream of revenue and fluctuating/unpredictable net profit/loss (especially if they're dealing with non-software margins), and this model isn't much of a downside-risk-reducer for them.
That’s what I was wondering if you switch over to Braintree after taking the Stripe loan and just leave a small percent of transactions on Stripe you can have the loan be many years lowering the APR to compete with a small business loan. How are they going to know you switched transactions over to Braintree? Could just be business slowing down.

> Based on the amount of junkmail I get offering my small business loans, I have a hard time believing the "filling a niche no-one else is offering" narrative.

Leaving aside questions about how good those lenders actually are to work with, it's still a surprisingly inefficient market. Businesses built on Stripe still report that access to capital is one of the _very top_ limiting factors on their growth. The uptake rates we've seen in the Stripe Capital beta over the past year corroborate this.

Our hypothesis is that existing lenders are disproportionately ineffective at detecting and underwriting internet businesses, since they have such different capital and growth dynamics.
We've built up layers and layers and layers of inefficiencies in the entire OS and software stack since the gigahertz wars took us from 66Mhz to multiple GHz in the 90s.

The software industry is awful at conserving code and approaches through the every-five-years total redo of programming languages and frameworks. Or less for Javascript.

That churn also means optimization from hardware --> program execution doesn't happen. Instead we plow through layers upon layers of both conceptual abstraction layers and actual software execution barriers.

Also, why the hell are standardized libraries more ... standardized? I get lots of languages are different in mechanics and syntax... But a standardized library set could be optimized behind the interface repetitively, be optimized at the hw/software level, etc.

Why do ruby, python, javascript, c#, java, rust, C++, etc etc etc etc etc not have evolved to an efficient underpinning and common design? Linux, windows, android, and iOS need to converge on this too. It would be less wasted space in memory, less wasted space in OS complexity, less wasted space in app complexity and size. I guess ARM/Intel/AMD would also need to get in the game to optimize down to chip level.

Maybe that's what he means with "DSLs", but to me "DSLs" are an order of magnitude more complex in infrastructure and coordination if we are talking about dedicated hardware for dedicated processing tasks while still having general task ability. DSLs just seem to constrain too much freedom.
Are there any common scenarios among Stripe users/repayment schedules where the effective APR would be advantageous compared to a traditional loan (convenience of application process notwithstanding)?
I think the fact that context matters so much is why we don't try to quantify it. The word 'trump' can covey a lot of meaning or next to nothing, eg in a card game the word trump can covey a lot of information about the state of play and your reaction to it to your competitors. It doesn't take any longer to say and in the context of the game may take less time to think up as well.
status_quo69's answer is great, just here to add a few thoughts.

This is largely why I wanted to write a post like this - often "using d3.js" is what we think we need to do, but I wanted to show that most of the API is just utility functions. Here are the two modules devoted to manipulating the DOM:

https://wattenberger.com/blog/d3#manipulating-the-dom

I recommend (and follow) that you render elements like you normally would, and use things like d3 scales or d3.line() to convert your data into the physical aspects that are needed. I find it really hacky to do it any other way. I want to explore more, but I did a quick test to see which is more performant (letting React render a scatter plot, or letting d3 render a scatter plot), and pure React was 4x faster:

https://twitter.com/Wattenberger/status/1123413424678027265

Of course, this was just one example, but it agrees with my hypothesis.

I do have a whole chapter devoted to d3 + React (and one on d3 + Angular) that might be worth checking out. I think it largely comes down to understanding your tools and being able to pick the parts of d3 that will be most useful to you.

>Most businesses won't have access to bank rates

50-60% would violate most if not all usury laws, unless you are a bank. Even in my state the usury is capped at 18%, so to even charge 20% you have to be a bank or its an illegal loan.
It only benefits borrowers with outstanding loans, created prior to the inflationary period. Most of what would be considered the millennial generation most likely didn’t buy houses and such prior to the recession and the start of quantitative easing etc.

I just looked at the prospectus for one index ETF I own [1]. It actually has a lot of wiggle room. 10% of assets can be invested in things that aren't in the index. The 90% that's guaranteed to be invested in index assets is also not guaranteed to be exactly weighted by market cap. The fund is not even required to own every asset in the index.

I don't know what other ETFs have in their prospectuses, but this wiggle room seems like it could mitigate some of the concerns about crashes due to low liquidity in thinly traded stocks.

Admittedly knowing little about how multi-core CPUs work, I've always thought the next breakthrough in CPU tech would be a hardware-based scheduler, a chip that effectively load balances threads to ensure all cores are used equally and simplifies the writing of software. The dev writes thread-safe code and the hardware does the rest. I wonder how feasible that really is.
It wasn't an assumption -- it was (among other things) literally part of the sales pitch when trying to get the public on board with DRM.

I'm not really impressed by this article. The two main points:

> An investigation by ProPublica identified more than 60 accidents since June 2015 involving Amazon delivery contractors that resulted in serious injuries, including 10 deaths

A better investigation would count the number of miles traveled and compare the rate to the general population. Driving is the most dangerous thing most people do: 37k people died on the road in 2017.

I'd like to see actual numbers here--driving is an inherently dangerous activity, and therefore needs to be looked at through statistics, not character pieces (like this article does).

> citing agreements that require them, as one puts it, to “defend, indemnify and hold harmless Amazon.”

This sounds pretty standard. However, if this is the case, then

> often Amazon directs, through an app, the order of the deliveries and the route to each destination

seems like it may be a problem. Either the contractors have the autonomy to do things like they need to to stay safe, or Amazon should take that liability themselves.
I use one too and that was an adjustment when first getting it, but once I got used to it, the fact that it can be adjusted to fit wherever my neck wants to lay and stay there more than made up for it. Now that it's been a few years I don't even notice it anymore. I have however started buying the hulls and zip-up pillow cases to start making my own for half the cost though. I've had my cat accidentally rip one or two open while careening through the place at 3am. You do have to eventually replace or replenish the hulls regardless though, they break apart and get smaller so provide less support.
> Weird this is getting downvoted

It's because there are legitimately people who have problems falling asleep that are not tied to obsessing about sleep gadgets. How can you be so unbelievably callous and dismissive of people's problems?

I've spent months barely getting 4-5 hours of sleep because I can't shut off my brain and how oppressive life is/can be. I don't see what any of that has to do with tracking sleep or buying a weighed blanket or whatever else. Mainly because I didn't try any of it - but if I do buy a weighted blanket and it helps me fall asleep ... what exactly do you have against that blanket helping me?
Capital controls don't rule out freedom, nor rule in oppression. I doubt you'd suggest Switzerland, the US, Britain and the rest were oppressive by mere dint of having capital controls before Bretton Woods was destroyed.

Giving the Nazi example of an oppressive regime being oppressive doesn't change that - they were oppressive via nearly all the other tools of free democracies too. Property seizures and taking away all freedom of movement was far more symptomatic of being oppressive. OP's China example is a place that is oppressive in many ways, but far from being one of the main means of oppression, capital control has been liberalised hugely in recent years. Freedom of movement, to emigrate, to demonstrate, etc on the other hand...
It's possible that CircleCI was one of the 13 breached workspaces:

It depends on the vehicle. Power steering can either be electric (EPS) or mechanical, with a compressor that's belt-driven off the engine. My Civic has rack-and-pinion steering with EPS. When the engine is off, it's still steerable, but there's no power assist. But you don't want to turn the ignition lock all the way off, because that does lock the steering wheel.
Personally, I haven't really seen this. People need to get together in conference rooms from time to time for meetings and they rent space for that. However, on the video calls I'm on more or less daily, essentially everyone is in a company location, traveling, or at home. I've know people who did rent a co-working office but it's been the odd exception.

To be fair, most of the remote people I work with are relatively senior and that may make a difference. They probably care less about having the social aspect of an office and they probably tend to have more room at home for, e.g., a dedicated office.
Cool idea: Looks more like building blocks than a complete application.

I'm curious how a system like this is resilient to SPAM.

Specifically: The (cough) power of centralized systems is that they have an economic incentive to police themselves. (Although we can disagree about how well they do it.)

Example: I don't get a lot of SPAM on Facebook, but I get a ton of SPAM emails and phone calls. Likewise, LinkedIn is mostly SPAM, so I don't use it very much.
Serious question: Can this sort of (non-physically threatening) speech cross the line into harassment? I haven't seen the posts, so I can't evaluate them. And I imagine the Judge's position (as a public figure?) may factor in?

Specifically:

> His dad felt otherwise and repeatedly posted criticism of the judge and friend of the court on his Facebook Page.

> Judge Rachel Rancilio saw the posts, many of which are publicly targeted at her.

> Then he made more posts, such as one that reads, “Dada back to digging and you best believe I’m gonna dig up all the skeletons in this court’s closet.”
This might sound like a good idea in principle — in effect, don’t allow people to use the system unless they are more attentive then even most drivers are normally.

The problem is the natural outcome is that people will then simply just stop using the system, and end up less safe because of it, causing more accidents and possibly costing lives.

In the interest of public health, the system has to be better than the average driver, and also not annoyingly unusable.

So there is a balancing act. Tesla will already disable AP if you keep your hands off the wheel for too long. It even locks you out for the rest of the drive as a “penalty box” so you can’t just turn it back on.

As I drive down the highway on AP, the number of cars drifting in their lanes, crossing the lines, changing lanes without signaling, not maintaining proper speed, driving aggressively, driving for an exit at the last minute, panic breaking, etc. is actually somewhat mind blowing. It’s amazing there aren’t more accidents.

Versus the Model 3 which maintains speed and centers in its lane more precisely than I even do manually, for mile after mile.

What’s also remarkable is the constant progression of new features, better feature detection, more complex navigation and route planning which has happened over just the last 12 months. Tesla AP now in 2019 is significantly improved from what it looked like even July 2018, and v10 will just continue the progression.

Tesla safety stats are hard to compare to the general public, but what I can say definitely is a Tesla on AP on the highway is way more consistent and predictable of a driver than any human. It’s better to be in the Tesla in AP on the highway, but I imagine it’s also better to be driving behind or beside the Tesla in that same situation because it’s not driving distracted like almost everyone else on the road.

I do wonder about those terms then. I run a Shopify store that did millions of dollars via Stripe and PayPal then quickly transitioned to mostly revenue from paper checks when we backed away from consumer sales towards bulk orders, retail and distributors. I'm considering turning off direct consumer sales entirely and moving to Amazon.
Yes absolutely spot on!

Peeling the onion one more layer, there are two underlying features that are required:

1) Move to a threaded model to be able to scale instantaneously. This is already the case with YCQL, we're planning on doing this for YSQL.

2) There needs to be a change to the client drivers in order to become smarter to deal with how the app connects to the DB. In fact, we're working on enabling this for the Spring (Java) ecosystem by enhancing the JDSB driver (still in the early stages): https://github.com/YugaByte/ybjdbc

Less so than you might think. We’re just plain slower to detect things that are growing larger than objects traversing our vision. Especially without context clues like brake lights or other slow traffic, approaching at 40mph doesn’t give you a lot of time to correct.

Ultimately yes, it’s the other driver’s fault because it’s always your job to not hit things in front of you. But OP made his vehicle into a hazard.

I feel that what "adtech" refers to varies from person to person. It's becoming one of those charged terms where whatever online advertising techniques the user doesn't like are "adtech", while the techniques they don't mind aren't.

If the infrastructure to select and distribute context-relevant ads is not "adtech", what is it?

If you're aware that the internet is rife with communications issues, why would you put that out there without any elaboration at all? Reddit is the place for throw-away comments, HN isn't.

Frankly, I don't worry about sleep when I can't sleep. I worry about everything. And if you say "well, stop worrying", I'm going to jump out a window.
Harsha from the Stripe Capital team here. Access to capital has been one of our top user asks, and users were excited about the possibility of Stripe leveraging our knowledge of their business to offer them an integrated solution for their capital needs.

As for pricing, the cost of the loan is a single fixed fee that adjusts to the loan amount, and it is paid over the course of the loan—there is no interest rate or additional fees. The effective APR is dependent on how long it takes to repay the loan. We’re priced very favorably compared to alternative lenders.
>Our hypothesis is that existing lenders are disproportionately ineffective at detecting and underwriting internet businesses

Is that because you have a view into your business customers cash flows, so you think you'll be able to better assess risk than traditional lenders?

Okay, try putting "Card-carrying gun owner and anti-abortion activist" on your resume and apply for big tech companies.

Sort of related, my wife and I are Black in a mostly White part of the city. We rode an Uber and the driver who was also Black immediately started talking politics because he assumed we “would relate to each other”.
