Perhaps this ruling should apply to airplane tickets as well? I wonder what Air France thinks about that?

And Eurail passes -- those are issued to a specific traveler, it seems like the inability to sell your Eurail pass is violating this decision as well. I wonder what the French railroads think about that?

Under the logic of this court decision, I should be able to buy a Eurail pass, ride on a train, mail it to a friend, the friend pays me for the pass, then that friend can take the train, then re-sells it to me, then I can use it, and so on. Right? Isn't that what this decision is saying?

> According to EU law, all goods, including software, can be sold used without the permission of the maker or the original seller

If we want to argue that a train ride is a service and not a "good," that logic would apply to software as well -- software isn't a physical "thing" but a collection of information that permits some action (i.e. playing a game.) Just like a Eurail pass is a collection of information that permits some action (i.e. riding a train.)

I think the courts in Europe, especially in old-economy countries that have a strong-anti-tech sentiment might ought to be a bit mindful of the unintended consequences of their decisions.

How is understanding someone’s needs trivial? There are so many factors that determine need. Many that I would never reveal to a stranger. Needs vary substantially just based on demographics. A 60 year old needs more than an 18 year old. A single parent with two kids needs less than two parents with two kids. A family of 8 needs more than a family of 3. A short person needs fewer calories than a tall person. Etc etc.

But I may be rare in my inability to understand people’s needs without any data. I don’t know much about warehouse workers. I need much more information than an astroturf ad on Instagram/new outlet tells me.
It's not a minor dysfunction.

>Pooling data from both groups, following step reduction there was a significant decrease in whole-body insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index) (p < 0.001), muscle insulin sensitivity index (p < 0.001), cardiorespiratory fitness (p = 0.002) and lower limb lean mass (p = 0.004). Further, there was a significant increase in total body fat (p < 0.001), liver fat (p = 0.001) and LDL-cholesterol (p = 0.013), with a borderline significant increase in NEFA AUC during the OGTT (p = 0.050).

Those are incredible p values to find in a human study.
> It's not just the high interest rates, but the tools and punishments lenders use to lower the risk of default below what justifies their high rates

It obviously often doesn't work out this way, but the baseline assumption in a competitive market should be that businesses aren't able to charge significantly over the market-clearing price. OTOH there's no evidence behind your assertion that rates are "unjustifiably" other than a gut feeling, only one step removed from the classic "money doesn't have time value, any interest payment is theft". Why do you think the price is higher than the risk would imply (including the cost, delay, and failure rate of recovery efforts), and why wouldn't a competitor have filled the gap with lower rates?

Again, I get that markets aren't instantly perfectly efficient, but there's usually something you can point to that shifts the equilibrium away from efficiency.

Just so you know, the central victim of this scandal did not (to my knowledge) actually accuse Minsky of having sex with her - only that she was coerced by Epstein to make the offer. An offer which another witness testified was turned down. If true then the protest against Minsky has no basis (or at least much less).

Now, RMS then did construct a hypothetical based on his knowledge of Minsky's character. Note that nowhere in his hypothetical did he either defend Epstein or assert that the victim was in fact willing - both of which were things that he was accused of doing. He then insisted that people be more precise in their speech, which is exactly what you should do if you want actual justice.

The difference is mostly to do with user experience. It also has to do with the requirements of how you bill the customer. It means you can't give them a "free" sign up and then charge them a fee after the click the data selling opt out button.

What's meant by saying you can offer incentives is that you must present all information at the same time and that users are considered as opt-out by default.

Basically, the user must go through a sign up page that has a box that says "You may sell my data in exchange for a $3 discount" and it cannot be selected by default. You also cannot have a sign up page that has a box that must be selected to opt-out whether the box is selected by default or not.

The no-relatiation clause also has addition requirements that are not related to money. For example, you cannot refuse to allow a user to access your site because they didn't allow their data to be sold. You also couldn't impose access limitations like slowing the rate of page response or increasing the number of advertisements on the page or send spam only to users that opt-out.

The difference isn't really about charging a fee to users that won't let you sell their data. It's more about not allowing websites to harass users with increased advertising on behalf of whoever they wanted to sell your data to. It's only illegal for them to sell the data, internal use is still legal, so they're preventing a loopholes.
Your reply illustrates my comment that some people only see the worst or try to imagine only the worst.

If a facial recognition system is only linked to a database of wanted people then it won't be able to ID people not on that database. I.e. if it is no worse than a normal CCTV for everyone who is not wanted by the police.

Therefore, in principle there is no negative impacts in terms of privacy or liberty compared to existing CCTVs.

The only issue is technical: False positives (which I'm not sure the numbers would be 'enormous' at the moment). This is bound to improve over time and can be mitigated with the appropriate police procedures on how to respond to an alert by such a system.

Tell HN: Stripe brought my business to a dead stop
I'm posting this as a warning to other small business who might be thinking of using Stripe to process payments. I own a small boxing gym & we signed up with Stripe based on recommendation of someone I know. At first everything was great - easy on-boarding process, clean interface, etc.. We have been working w/ them for 4 months & have several hundred payments without a single chargeback.

Then out of the blue I received this email:

[b]"Our systems recently identified charges that appear to be unauthorized by the customer, meaning that the owner of the card or bank account did not consent to these payments. This unfortunately means that we will no longer be able to accept payments for

Refunds on card payments will be issued in 5–7 business days, although they may take longer to appear on the cardholder's statement. Please refer to your dashboard for a list of the charges to be refunded[1]."[/b]

I have NO idea what payments they could possibly be referring to & support doesn't respond to my numerous messages. They won't tell me which payments are being refunded (dashboard link they provided just sends me to the list of ALL our payments).

Worst of all, when I attempted to process a refund for a customer who had been injured & was unable to continue training, I get an error message stating I am unable to process refunds! Am I supposed to tell my customer that my payment process won't refund his money? FYI - The payment I am attempting to refund HAS NOT been paid out yet - the money is sitting in my stripe account - but they refuse to refund it or even dignify me with a response.

I can't express how disappointed I am in Stripe's total lack of communication and indifference both it's customer's and our customers. Big, BIG mistake I made in choosing them as our payment processor - just warning you guys before you make the same mistake
People confuse two separate issues. Plastic straws and throwaway synthetic clothing are about microplastics. CO₂ emissions are about climate change. The former may or may not turn out to be a health hazard (I'm betting not that much), and may or may not affect the ecosystem negatively somehow. The latter is going to kill our civilization for sure. I think we should leave the former problem for another time, and focus on dealing with the latter.

Here's two questions for you which are not hard to answer but, frankly, I do not expect to read the answers here. Why? Because it would show how utterly wrong the suggestion of carbon sequestration for solving this problem was.

First: how much mass (i.e. kg or tons) of C0_2 is emitted per year?

Second: what is the total mass of concrete produced per year worldwide?

> Burning stuff [2,3] causes all sorts of effects on our environment, directly impacting health.

It can; apparently in the US long it did; but a lot of the dirt got cleaned up. E.g., can have clean air even in LA and NYC with lots of gasoline and Diesel power cars and trucks. And outside the top 50 or so US cities, car and truck exhaust is a problem not worth even talking about. E.g., coal needs to be cleaned up since it can put out sulfur, mercury, some radioactivity, etc. Some uses of coal in China and India might be causing significant to serious problems there.

For some ugly problems, see the movie I referenced here: The movie shows some of what happens in Africa where they try to cook indoors by burning dried animal dung -- really bad, ugly medical problems. They would be much better off burning coal or using electricity from burning coal in a power plant.
I'm a climate activist, and I can't control how others act, but I'm in favor of, like you say, anything that works.

The Citizens' Climate Lobby is focusing on a carbon fee and dividend. I'm new to the movement (so take what I say with a grain of salt) but I like what I see so far. We're very focused on one particular legislative approach, not because other things won't help, but because it's hard enough getting legislation like H.R. 763 through congress already, and distractions dilute our precious time and energy. So the CCL is pushing on just this one bill, which we think is the most effective approach for us.

But I'd love to see people work on everything and everything. I just think it's probably most effective for most organizations to focus on a relatively narrow area.
All automatic rifles fall into the categories under machine guns and are thus banned as machine guns. A select fire carbine battle rifle such as the Uzi or the MP5 are in fact classified as sub-machine guns. The term machine gun denotes a firearm that can fire more than a single round with a single trigger pull. There are pistols that are classified as machine guns.

What do you mean with selfishness? I have always been more generous in both time and money in my life than most of the group. Dozens of thousands of dollars to charities. I’ve also greatly helped my god-daughter in a very feminist way, and stood up for others way more than I ever stood up for myself in my life. So shut your fucking mouth, I’m so upset of having ever contributed to charities which now end up working against males.

I assume you claim than when being unfairly treated, asking for coming back to fairness is selfishness. So justice is selfishness? Which is the first step in showing your bold accusation is plain anti-male hate, but anyway, I won’t change your bad ethics.

However to answer your question, to resolve selfishness problems, you could stand up for me after I’ve stood up for others. You could stand up for me even if I hadn’t gave first, but just because I’m a human and deserve it? You could show solidarity for men when needed. And I’m not asking for the moon, I ask to be able to work even more and be paid for the work I do! If the group considers that unfair things done to me are as unfair as unfair things done to any other member of the group, then you’ll never have to try to limit my place in society.

Howeve, when shown absolutely no consideration at all by you, and not being considered as a mere human, and feeling deprived of my basic rights to provide to society and be rewarded for the sweat I give, then I feel a sentiment of abandon and urgency, which close to provokes the effect we were trying to avoid: bombings. Well, that’s the effect I was trying to avoid, and I have no feeling that you were trying to avoid that. Perhaps you’d be happy that you provoke me into terrorist attacks just to gain attention, because it would confirm the prejudice you have about « selfish people », aka, I assume, males that you see as selfish because tHeY aSk To bE pRoMoTeD.

Zen2 is 16MB L3 per ccx across the entire stack (hence why even the Ryzen 5 3600 is 32MB of L3 - it has 2 CCXs). There's no reason to assume this won't be true on Threadripper 3000. So a 32-core Threadripper 3000 would have at least 128MB of L3.
Yes, I know from experience that there are parts of the US where taxis are simply awful. But that's not true everywhere.

Where I live, the taxi companies have their own apps that you can use if you prefer (complete with being able to see where the cab is in realtime), and when you call, you'll usually get a cab within 15 minutes.

Aside from price, there literally isn't anything that Uber or Lyft does that the cab companies don't do at least equally well.

Note how I only focused on your assertion that 36bps "does not make a big difference". That is a strong opinion that is not based on market reality and also has several incorrect assumptions baked into it. Based on continued references to "banks eating the cost", you seem to think that banks are the only ones involved in these transactions. They aren't and not understanding that means that it's very hard to understand the life of a repo transaction. The simple mechanics of a repo transaction are easy to explain but there are a lot of individual parts underlying each transaction. The individual parts sum up to a pretty complex beast that is hard to understand. Reducing this to "can't banks just eat the costs?" is borderline misinformation which does no one any good.

I previously gave a trade example that is a likely cause (or something similar) of the market events that transpired this week. It's a good example of how 36bps matters (my original point of contention). The NY Fed has a very good guide to the repo markets [1]. Hope these help.

> I hate the term “dynamic programming”. It sounds so cool, but then you find out that all it means is “I memoized the results in a table”. Ho hum.

Wrong. Plenty of memoized functions aren't "dynamic programming" and it's not always obvious whether or how a given problem can be decomposed as recursive sub-problems. Not "ho hum" at all.
