I feel there is a conflation here. Facebook is free to apply for a banking license in countries they want to operate as a bank in. Facebook shouldn’t be able to circumvent banking over site and regulations by coming in as a technology company with fancy words.
The conflation here is Facebook isn’t being blocked form becoming a licensed bank in Germany - correct me if I’m wrong

Ask HN: Accepting credit cards without JavaScript? Stripe.JS is slow
Has anyone dealt with using Stripe server-side and the PCI compliance? Is it really that burdensome?

My webapp does not use any javascript, but I want to accept credit card payments.

The Stripe client-side library takes a long time to load on many of my customers connections. On some mobile broadband connections, the credit card form takes 5-15 seconds to show up, while the page loads in ~500ms (good old SQL and HTML!).

What's my best option? Is level 3-4 PCI compliance really a big burden as everyone makes it out to be? I'm not storing any CC numbers after all.
Nice info. I've wondered for quite a while about the impact of the G level of compile parallelization :). A couple of followup questions, if I may:

- How long do incremental and non-incremental builds take with the build configuration you describe?

- How does core<->engineer allocation work? Is 500 cores an average number? High-priority work presumably commands more access, but I'm curious if allocation is generally team-specific or engineer-specific (eg, more responsibilities = more resources). (I guess the reason I ask this is that 500 cores sounds kind of impressive and I'm going "surely they'll run out of cores if they're handing them out like candy???"), but then thinking about it that's only like 11 computers...)

- I'm curious if you happen to know how Chromium gets built (IIUC Android builds it 2 (or is it 3?) times). It's tricky to distill (presumably/understandably deliberately so) how many cores the CI/trybot/etc infra is using. Overall my curiosity is what the core/time ratios/graphs are, ie how many cores translates to how short of a build.

- As an aside, I vaguely recall absorbing by osmosis several years ago that Chromium takes approximately 15 minutes to build on a Very Cool™ local workstation (HP Z series). Not sure how out of date this info is. Do engineers still do test builds on local hardware (and if yes, how long does this take? probably longer than 500 cores, heh); or is everything done in throwaway cloud instances nowadays?

Thanks in advance for whatever answers you're happy to provide :)

James Krane, Middle East Energy Specialist, Rice University: "The asymmetry of this is obvious. You have one of the world’s largest consumers of advanced weaponry basically defenseless in the face of drones that cost less than $1,000 and from a country that is so poor and disorganized it is undergoing a cholera epidemic and widespread starvation."

I dunno, Apple's put some pretty single-purpose hardware into their devices in the past. Like the sensor array that's pretty much only useful for Face ID, and the Force Touch stuff. (And Macs used to have an IR receiver, which IIRC was only used for compatibility with the old Apple TV remote.)
Pretty sure I just lost most of my faith in my fellow liberal techies after reading these responses. It's amazing how little substance their is to the responses, and how much outrage and throwing out of the word "privilege" there is. When did being outraged become a valid stance, without having to back it up with any reason position?
Fun, but not as much as with a 68000.

The 68008 and the HC models make doing this particularly easy.
Calling it silly seems a bit harsh, it's just statistics. We are interested in knowing the frequency of earth-like planets existing. If we assume that the existence of earth is a pre-condition for life existing and performing the measurement, then the existence of earth tells us nothing about that frequency. Regardless of the frequency in question the count of earth-like planets starts at 1, because in scenarios where the count is at 0 the measurement is not being performed. There could be millions of earth-like planets in the milky way, or there could be only one, or earth could even be the only life-supporting planet in the universe. There is no mechanism given only the existence of earth to reason statistically about the distribution of earth-like planets.

Whereas finding a second one tells us a lot. So that's why I say we are in more like the N=0 case, and that finding a second earth-like planet puts us in the N=1 case.

Where in that article does it say anything like that? As the closest I can see is that he may have shown something to a Malaysian owned paper.

No, why would China let him go and publicly release things? There would be so many better ways to handle him.

Perhaps a cryptocurrency is unstoppable, but Libra is the same as Visa. Banning Libra is like banning a company like Visa, it's not anything like banning Bitcoin which would be very hard indeed.

It's just a payment processor. I don't know why it's called cryptocurrency. If the bar for that is "it uses cryptography" then Paypal is a cryptocurrency because they use HTTPS.
I think the interesting question to follow up is: "why not camera"? Is it intuitively bad? How bad? When weighing against the benefits, is camera still worth it? I'm not 100% sure, just a couple random points:

1/ The first concern pops into my head is having a recording device nearly always on. In reality, there is no way you can prevent people to take photos and/or videos using smartphone when something interesting is happening in the public. It takes less than 5 seconds for people to take the phone out of their pockets and start recording. Then what's the real difference between camera on the face or camera in the pocket?

2/ The Glass-Hole issue. People always blame the camera as the ultimate evil. I'm not that sure. Remember, the original Google Glass was basically a piece of not-that-useful-to-put-it-nicely gadget that costs $1500. Honestly, back then, I thought whoever is buying those stuff that just overpaid nerdy douchebags (I'm thinking that way mainly because I cannot afford it). I'm not sure having a camera is the biggest issue; but having a camera is probably the biggest issue that you can publicly talk about.

3/ Trust issue, i.e. whether Google/Apple/FB are secretively collecting those video feed. Or even worse: what if the business model of future AR products depending on collecting those video feed.
This is not a new theoretical result, but it is a new practical reality. Tires are built differently today due to better materials like multi-layer puncture-resistant weaves. It used to be a thick layer of rubber in the middle and relatively weak sidewalls, so the contact profile would be nearly cylindrical. Lower pressures were awful, and the sidewalls would blow out on a bigger tire above 60psi.

There are a few other differences that matter a lot in the peloton. Power transfer is important for holding a tight draft. A pro on 28s will definitely notice a delayed/muted impulse response over 23s. I believe this also affects pedaling efficiency, as any MTB racer on a soft tail will attest. Narrow tires also give much better handling/braking and therefore much faster descents. Fat tires braking gives this weird kick-back that feels like it’s tossing you over.

Still, I ride fatties. I love the way they smooth out the road. But they’re not necessarily faster.

Chill with the pity party. Autism is a spectrum and for every person like you who is doing fine, there is a child whose brains doesn’t work fine and can’t talk, can’t socialise and can’t communicate. Parents of children like that become full time, life time caters and I’ve seen with what happens when they realise their children won’t ever get “better” and have to figure out who will loom after their kids for the rest of the child’s life after they pass.
Does it work better at scale? The sun definitely produces a lot of energy in total. However, "the Sun's "power density" is "approximately 276.5 W/m3, a value that more nearly approximates that of reptile metabolism or a compost pile than of a thermonuclear bomb".

If, overlooking the details, we were able to build a cubic meter sized "fusion box" that outputs 276W, then it would take about 2 million of them to produce a reasonable output for a power plant of 600MW. And it would take up about half the volume of NASA's vehicle assembly building, ignoring any support structure needed. That's not unimaginably huge, but it's pretty large compared to other types of power plants, I would think.

So assuming we solve all the technical problems to capturing the power source of the stars using handwavium or perhaps generously donated alien widgets, I wonder if it might still be uneconomic.

A Case for Hiring Malleable Junior Developers
> And on linux I always set up local SSH servers on everything which comes with its own maintenance baggage.

It sounds like you need to invest a little time in automating basic networking stuff (shell scripts do fine). I do not think there is a royal road with effortless magically secure configuration and authentication for random devices, but once you have IPv6 with dynamic DNS for all your machines on your own domain with SSH public keys (this all gets automated by the shell scripts), things get really nice. rsync, Unison, TRAMP, remote shells, SSH port forwarding/SOCKS proxies, whatever else you can think of, just works.

The Internet is a surprisingly nice place when you get rid of NATs and VPNs.

No IPv6 from your ISP? Start looking for a new one, but in the meantime grab a unique local IPv6 prefix for your home network (I find that useful to have anyway; and with IPv6 there are no worries about having multiple addresses on an interface) and use that shell script automation to take advantage of /etc/hosts (and put a blocklist in there while you are at it: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts).

I can't believe it either, but for a different reason. If Facebook had announced that they're going to launch their own version of Paypal, nobody would have wanted to use it for privacy concerns. But because cryptocurrency is trendy and supposed to have a positive effect on privacy and not supposed to be controlled by a single party, all of those concerns fall away. Except that (Wikipedia):

> Libra will not rely on cryptocurrency mining.[20] Only members of the Libra Association will be able to process transactions via the permissioned blockchain.

It's not a cryptocurrency at all. It's a cryptocurrency to the same extent that, because your credit card cryptographically signs the transaction at the POS terminal, euros can be said to be a cryptocurrency.

Somehow they get away with calling it cryptocurrency when it's really just another Visa or Paypal. Nobody should want to use this and that should be obvious, but 'crypto magic' is involved and so we need to have the conversation.

Yeah, I don't like telling people that they are asking the wrong question.

Depending what you are making now, you might double your compensation. Check levels.fyi.
Species is the wrong word, the introduced mosquitoes were the same species, just from different populations.

What a misleading title, there is almost no mention of drones in the article at all (the current HN title is the title of the article, so I don't fault OP). If you're looking for some discussion of military drones, here you go:

TBH, there are hobyists in the USA with better RC planes than the Nigerian military. The Nigerian Air Force doesn't operate any decent military drones such as the GA Predator or the Chengdu Wing Loon. Their biggest and best drone is the Israeli Aerostar and their domestic copy. It's tiny, has crappy sensors, and doesn't carry much payload. The Nigerian Army literally uses DJI Phantoms for some reconnaissance missions, which you can buy from Amazon.

Boko Haram is a fairly well funded branch of ISIS. They supplement their ISIS funding with kidnapping ransoms. They have captured military equipment from Syria and Iraq, some of which was pretty good compared to the other militaries in the Middle East and Africa. I don't know what drones they are using (the article sucks), but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they are better than what the Nigerian military has.
And why should this be different for a private currency controlled by facebook?
I've never heard anyone say anything nice about Libra. Most likely Libra with be DOA, regardless of this move.

I read your response. I'm curious, would you consider yourself to be a member of the class of young people that you mention? Because a lot of your insights presuppose a relatively close understanding of what it means to be a 'young person' and yet are written in a manner seemingly incompatible with being a 'young person'. Of course, this depends on what age range one would classify as young; personally, when I refer to young people without literally meaning children it is usually in reference to people younger than 30.
What I might like better is if you can publish a blog from a NNTP feed. If there is a article which has some sort of verification and lack a "References" header, then it appears as a blog post; if there is a "References" header then it will appear as a comment, and users can post comments using NNTP.

Markdown would work, due to two advantages they have: It is easy to read even if it has not been rendered as Markdown, and there is a MIME type defined (so that a NNTP post using Markdown can have a "Content-type" header to indicate that). This is unlike bbcode, which doesn't have these advantages.

I think I’m missing something. Under what conditions do you want to search through several identically sized lists independently? (I had assumed from the title that this would be about performing many independent queries against the same list, optionally with SIMD, instead of one query against many lists).

It wouldn’t be a huge change to also make the N-value “per query”, but then you get a lot more branches in the inner loop. Even then though, I’m struggling to remember situations where I thought “I have a dozen lists where I need to do binary search for each of them”.
