These are extremely broad categories. It's a bit like saying, "there are no original books, they're all just collections of the same 26 letters", or "all stories are the same, they're just characters doing things."

One category listed here is Pursuit:

> the fugitive flees punishment for a misunderstood conflict. Example: Les Misérables

By this logic, 'Les Miserables', 'Mission Impossible', and 'Catch Me if You Can' are all just rehashing the same basic idea. On an existential level, sure, but is there any practical use to a category that broad?
Interesting the difference between the topline description "exposed to hundreds of items disguised as editorial content" and the one later in the page "10 articles". Could it be that a company which sells deception is playing a bit fast and loose with its claims?

Also, I think it would be very interesting to set up a honeypot for this and see what kinds of changes it drives. Anyone interested in splitting the cost for an experiment?
The HN title is incorrectly using "gaslight," and the website makes no mention of gaslighting.

Banks do sometimes verify funds manually, but keep in mind that verifying a balance still isn't a guarantee that a check will clear. The balance can change between the time of balance verification and check clearing.

What's needed to fully solve something like this is to put a block or reservation on a chunk of funds. So when bank A checks whether there's sufficient balance at bank B to clear a check, they'd need to put some kind of hold on those funds at bank B to have confidence that the check will clear. This is basically what credit card authorizations do, especially if the credit card is attached to a checking account.
Thinking that "conservative victimization" is "par for the course" is a comment that exists at precisely the same level of discourse as OP. This stance is refuted in literally the same thread (where someone engages in liberal victimization with, "I wish conservatives had an actual reason to feel like victims, because it would that the rest of the country is back on track.").

"Both sides" applies here.

Technology news is generally excited to predict AI language comprehension/translation/generation is just around the corner. I think it's true in some domains. But, for balance, I'm grateful for essays like this.

A lot of valuable written human communication is so nuanced and challenging, even for experts, and that makes it beautiful IMO. Bring on the artificial general intelligence. But good luck with poetry!

Unexpected and lovely essay. Thanks for sharing.
I have spoken with responsible parties at the Federal Reserve about the modernization process, and while they take it seriously (Powell was harassed about it during congressional testimony about Libra when Zelle was brought up), one must understand the momentum and inertia of systems of this scale. These are not "startupy" scale problems. Financial plumbing is boring and stakeholder, not technology, driven. As it should be: as a stakeholder, you shouldn't care what the underlying is (there are no tracks for a hype train here; these are systems that must run reliably for decades), all you should care is your money gets to you fast, the person who sent it can be assured it'll get there fast, and that the system is secure and cost efficient.

Sure. But that's not what you said originally, or what I quoted and addressed. That's a very different point to make. You said "nobody". I'm pointing out that "somebody" disagrees with that assessment. You might have been able to get away with "many people don't".

I agree with your point (which I also made in my previous post) that forcing someone to identify as something they don't identify as would be a problem. But in that case, you can also argue that if you're not a "nerd" you shouldn't be working on projects looking for "nerds". The same way some people might have the qualifications of a "rock-star developer" but move away from companies who put statements like that in their hiring materials.

Either way, this is the Verge's language use we're talking about. They're not exactly the highest of brows.
Would you mind helping me understand this better?

My understanding is that bond from a bail bondsman works kind of like a loan. The bail bondsman puts up the money ($50k in this case) and if you show up to court he gets his $50k back. This works kind of like a loan between you and the bondsman, I would expect you to pay some amount on the total, something akin to extremely high risk loan interest, but $9,500 is almost a quarter. Is that a standard rate for a bond?

Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_lightbulb
> Because until we find a massive amount of anti-matter

I honestly hope this never occurs, or we never are able to contain/store such a mass for any real length of time.

Because if we can do it, it will be used for a weapon.

Seriously - I can't even imagine what - for instance - one kilogram of anti-matter coming in contact with regular matter - the amount of energy that would be released...it staggers the imagination. Today's fusion weapons release only a fraction of their potential energy; anti-matter conversion would be 100% (roughly):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter_weapon

"Using the convention that 1 kiloton TNT equivalent = 4.184×1012 joules (or one trillion calories of energy), one gram of antimatter reacting with one gram of ordinary matter results in 42.96 kilotons-equivalent of energy (though there is considerable "loss" by production of neutrinos)."

So...one kilo of anti-matter would be equivalent to 42 megatons - which is close to yield of the Tsar Bomba:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba

...but in a much more compact package. 50 kg of antimatter - which would be feasible for current launch systems, and comparable in size to current warheads:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W80_(nuclear_warhead)

Well - that's a 2 GT weapon...while I'm sure such a thing has been considered as to it's effects...I honestly don't know what that would be. Best guess might be that one such warhead could easily take out a good portion of say, the west coast (of the United States)?

Ultimately - we are not ready in any manner - socially, morally, politically - as a species to wield that kind of power responsibly. Honestly, even nuclear weapons fall into that assessment, despite recent history - I'm honestly not sure how we have gotten this far without a major nuclear war occurring.

Sadly, though, I know that my conjecture (in which I am not alone, I hope) will not do anything to stop the research - right now, though, the cost to produce anti-matter (let alone contain it) is so high as to make even a small mass cost an exorbitant amount of money. I sincerely hope there isn't any breakthrough on that front.

I honestly think we, as a species, are not ready for it (that isn't to say none of us are - but those who would be responsible with such "stuff" are likely very few - I know I am not one of them).
That's an amazing coincidence.
I see it as every certificated Airline Transport Pilot is a pilot who passed the certification requirements, and any of them should be able to recover from recoverable scenarios, rather than fragmenting this certification into elite or specialist test pilots. The notion that a specialized test pilot or airplane certification pilot can recover from a unusual scenario cannot be used to justify impunging the qualification of any qualified pilot.

And that's basically the early Boeing rhetoric, and also from others like Langewiesche, talking about airmanship, the notion that some certified pilots really actually are incompetent they just so happen to be foreign pilots, etc. To whatever degree the average pilot is not getting the proper training, it's a call that the entire industry has an obligation to bring up the average pilot to the actual real world expected minimum level of competency, and stop this b.s. blaming of pilots as if there are different kinds of competencies for the same level of certification.

I further note, upon MCAS existence becoming public, U.S. based pilots got rather distinctly pissed off about being kept in the dark. That is not a reaction consistent with, yeah it'll be just like runaway trim, we can handle that, no big deal.
Fair enough, I didn't mean it as a dig against Cloudflare. It's just that you're already providing all the components, and now even giving the instructions on how to connect them, just not adding a configuration screen to do so.

Since it's a bootrom exploit hopefully that means people can install an alternative OS.
>Hunting and deriving enjoyment from it does not mean you can't have respect for the individual animal.

I'll ask you the same thing I've been asking the other commenter. What is your definition of respect that includes the unnecessary killing for sport and will you apply that same definition to humans? I haven't made any arguments about sociopathy, which is a straw man. You went down a long rabbit hole about what hunters enjoy about hunting. None of that is new information to me and none of it is relevant to my point. I'm simply pointing out that any definition of respect that I've come across would not include the unnecessary killing of someone. Whether you enjoy the act of killing and whether you enjoy other aspects of hunting make no difference to the 3 relevant premises:
1. Hunting for sport is unnecessary.
2. Respect for an individual requires not killing them unnecessarily.

Tell me which one of those statements you disagree with. And again, if it's the latter, you can't apply that specifically to prey animals without that being fallacious. We're all completely talking past each other; neither of you have pointed out any issues or disagreement with my reasoning, just that you don't like the outcome as expressed.
Serious question: with how big the federal budget is for... pretty much everything... why is this the case? Is there truly not enough funding? How much money goes in and where does the money go?

I feel like time and time again I read how private sector can do better than the public sector, in all sectors.
Regularly inhaling burned plant material is harmful. Cannabis is not as dangerous as tobacco, but smoking is going to substantially increase your risk of lung disease and cancer.

So naturally the most American thing to do right now is to ban systems that give people the drug delivery without the harmful smoke. Black market providers will definitely be held to better safety standards and offer more honest labeling so adults can make informed choices about the risks they want to take with their own bodies.

(Of course when we're actually living in a bizarro world of moral panic where a third of Americans think that vaping is equally or more dangerous than smoking cigarettes, so it's hard to have too much faith in our public education.)

Well, debit cards are not accepted anywhere for car rental (at least I don't know any counterexamples). $260 in this case are returned at the end of the rental term, it is just a (relatively recent) additional service from Europcar, allowing people with only the debit cards to rent cars nevertheless. (Disclosure: I use Europcar at Barcelona airport about 5-6 times per year; they have some quirks, but I wouldn't use the terms "extortion" and "unethical").

Regardless of the report and the article, I worked with the Boeing pilots for years.

On the plus side they always argued that emergency equipment in the cockpit should be able to be operated by almost any idiot off the street to ensure safety.

On the negative side they had special expeditions from the FAA that allowed them to skip mandatory training on emergency equipment that airline pilots had to take.
> "Boeing's designs reflect a US-centric expectation of pilots"

So we are expected to believe that Boeing never connected the dots between:

1. We design planes for US pilots

2. We sell planes abroad

3. Incidents abroad can ground an entire aircraft series

This makes them seem more incompetent, not less. It's not like they have no say in what's considered standardized training for the series.
If I've understood this correctly, it was an iBoot vulnerability enabling the exploitation of the BootROM vulnerability untethered (without connecting to a computer again). Since the iBoot vulnerability is patched, the phone has to be connected to a computer every time to boot if there has been any tinkering (custom FW or any change in boot sequence).

So prepatch you could exploit the BootROM vulnerability untethered with the iBoot vulnerability, but postpatch have to connect to a computer to boot every time if you have done any tinkering which is why it is currently only adviced for security researchers.
Tinkering with the BootROM also leads to invalidations of APTickets (so a future restore may be impossible without special gear).
I think a better comparison would be antidepressants. A common class of antideps are called SSRI -- selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors. They have a similar mechanism to MDMA -- block the re-absorption of serotonin by neurons, so more serotonin is available for neurochemical processing.

Stimulants mainly act on the dopamine system, although MDMA might act on both systems: dopamine and serotonine.

-----

MDMA is also quite toxic in long-term usage.

Risk is always an interesting thing to consider in software, especially with complex systems.

Let's say there are two bugs in our banking code. Bug A means that every once in a while, it fails and a user can't log in. Bug B means that the system always works, but every once in a while, it shows an incorrect balance on an account.

Hmmm... Which one is worse?

Well, that depends. Obviously B is very bad in some very obvious ways. But A could be catastrophic if one of the system's uses is doing something like making payroll for hundreds or thousands of people.

Hmmm...
Question after reading comments here on how check-kiting works, does the promise of Zelle combat this technique? or is it just a fancy digital wrapper around ACH and is still vulnerable to check-kiting as a concept?
Without trying to be pedantic, I think bombarding people with false (or "spun") information that is in contrast to their views, principles, or beliefs through a long period of time would make them question their perception(s). I get that probably wouldn't change people's memory or sanity however.

Because nobody profits off the time/value of money nearly as much as the banks do.

If transactions were "instant" the bank wouldn't be able to kite your money.

There really is no reason transactions need to take as long as they do other than that money disappears from one account and re-appears two days later in another account. In the meantime those funds are still a part of the bank's bottom line. It's not technically yours, and it's not technically the other account holders.... but the bank still possesses it. And the amount of money the bank has "floating" around probably coincidentally lines up pretty closely with a sum of money the bank has invested in high-risk investments.

Banks are essentially legal "Kiting centers" where they get to kite everyone elses money because it's federally insured anyway.
Once on a family vacation to Florida, I found myself on a toll road with no toll booths. If you didn't have a toll transponder, they just took a picture of the license plate and billed you later.

I had rented the car in Georgia, so the transponder wasn't even an option. A couple of weeks later at home, I got a bill in the mail - $4 for the toll, and a $50 processing fee from the rental company. It had already been charged to my credit card.
