My note: The Federal Reserve is working on an ACH modernization program (Real-Time Gross Settlement [RTGS]) to move towards real time settlement. It is still several years off. Financial infrastructure requires the same cautious handling as say, air traffic control systems, when modernizing.
“Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought-crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten... Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?”

As discussed in the OP, this is cheque kiting:"

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

It is a scheme that goes back literally centuries in commerce. I'm amazed that I can hit send on an iMessage now and within seconds (or fractions of a second!) somebody's phone gives out a "ping!," anywhere in the world, yet cheque kiting hasn't been eliminated in 2019.

(I am speaking rhetorically. Yes, I understand about legacy systems and legacy processes. I'm not surprised that it works with what we have running today, I'm surprised that it hasn't been fixed in the 40-odd years that I've been old enough to have a bank account.)
I worked at a game studio that was contracted to help with an AAA military sci-fi first-person shooter. The protagonist in the games has usually been lionized for using technology in war, and I didn't feel comfortable working on something that would impart those sentiments onto teenagers. Someone else can elect to do it and other game studios were hiring for games that had different themes.

I just don’t like being extorted.
A forum I was on in 2006 had "reputation" which was a proto-like button. It had rules (can only rep a person once in a set period, can't rep more than 10 people a day). The higher the rep you had, the more your repping affected others. Below a threshold you got autobanned (good for keeping out trolls and spammers). At different rep levels you got different messages. These were like medals or badges of honour.

I also realised back then how much I was strangely addicted to it. I would try to be funny just to get rep. I envied those with higher rep than me or who jumped the levels more quickly. Basically, it was toxic for me. It kind of innoculated me against likes a few years later.
The article is not that helpful.

The products all contained myclobutanil, a fungicide that can transform into hydrogen cyanide when burned.

"You certainly don’t want to be smoking cyanide," said Antonio Frazier, the vice president of operations at CannaSafe. "I don’t think anyone would buy a cart that was labeled hydrogen cyanide on it."

Looking as the MSDS for myclobutanil[1]:

- the fire hazard for health is rated as 1 (low), suggesting burning the product isn't a major health concern

- oral acute toxicity starts at 1.5g/kg or over 100 gram for an average adult

- inhalation toxicity is 2.1 mg/L while the products generally showed single digit part per million levels

No, it's not good when there are pesticides in your vape, but these tests don't suggest they are the cause of the vape illnesses.

Ok, I misunderstood your comment then.

"So you meant the event where he tried to defend his deceased colleague?"

Yes, that is what I mean. Because for some weird reason, women are sensitive to women being sexually exploited. And the Epstein topic is loaded.

It is not about that he defended him, it is about how.

And Epstein was convicted before.

"He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a plea deal; federal officials had in fact identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had sexually abused"

Minsky did associate with him nevertheless. So whether there actually was sex or not ... if RMS says the most plausible sitution was that the women was "entirely willingly" .. is insensitive and stupid at least.

Because every sex abuser says the victim was willing. So if RMS uses then this exact argument, of course that triggers and backfires.

DoorDash Breach Exposed the Private Data of 4.9M People
Would you want a bank to be able to see the balances in an account at another bank? Why? That seems like a security risk (in that that information is much more than is required for the banking system to function).

All you really want to know is "is this check good?" If I write you a check for $4.69, I don't want you or your bank getting access to the fact of my bank balance, just the fact of whether or not my bank will settle that $4.69 check.
I love carbon and carbon materials.

Strange.

When I deposit a check in an account only a portion of it is immediately "available".

So I'm guessing they're just using that available proportion all the time?
Last apartment had and air circulation system for hang drying clothes. They would dry in a couple of hours and we never had to deal with shrinkage or wear.

Our new apartment has a front loaded. My wife's clothes were in awful condition after a couple of months. I refuse to use it.
Bookmark organisation is very important. It very quickly gets out of control.

I create categories as needed, but if I'm in the zone I throw the bookmark in a "to sort" folder. Anything that I want to read but likely won't keep I add to a "tmp" folder.

I then spend 5 minutes a day or a half hour every week cleaning up.
It's true, and it's why so many MMO's find themselves leaning into adding that grind to leveling, or a repetition in the end-game loop. The days of every developer taking a crack at creating a 'WOW killer' (and all of them failing) have thankfully past, I'm sure there are a bunch of traditional MMO's that are still trucking along nicely (Final Fantasy 15, Black Desert Online, the new Maple Story) but that sort of Quest Content driven game isn't so predominant nowadays (outside of nostalgia trips like WOW Classic and Runescape Classic). I can't say I miss them too much?
> some of the greatest minds of our generation are being put into rooms to work on animations for buttons on virtual DVD cases and Photo Books.

why thank you sir!
Your bank is floating those funds to you until they settle from the other account. If the check bounces, you're on the hook for it. Hence the scam where someone sends you a fake check for a large amount, and asks for you to return the excess funds after you deposit it but before your bank has fully settled the funds transfer.

If you don't think a check will clear, don't deposit it. Ask for cash or a wire from the sender (cashier check fraud is a thing).
Pedantry. They didn't give him an option besides physically bringing it into the store.

Good question about accessibility. I have no idea. But it's not as though our society is a perfect utopia for the disabled. I can only imagine it would have gone far worse.
> Another user mentioned the Bollinger brand, they are making their EV's completely analog -- even more analog than ICE cars, their philosophy may be right up your alley. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like they're going for mass market (yet).

Yeah, I saw that other comment and if the reality is even close to the marketing materials, those are gonna be awesome vehicles. I probably wouldn't get one new unless the price is very low (the benefits of buying new aren't worth the loss in value that happens when you drive a new car off the lot, IMO). So by the time they start hitting the used market I expect the reality will be clearer.

> You should also look into how the A/C system works on the model 3, it's fascinating how simple it really is. It literally uses air to push the air up and down. This reduces the complexity with less moving parts. It's a very genius system IMO.

I dunno, it's simpler in that there are fewer moving parts, but from the video it seems like part of how that was achieved was by using existing plastic molding and whatnot to direct the air, which makes it harder to replace i.e. one duct in isolation--it's not very modular. And having simpler moving parts is a small decrease in complexity compared to the increased complexity of digital controls. Of course it's hard to tell from the video, so that impression has to be taken with a grain of salt.
Wow, this is a much better article; it even calls the myclobutanil connection, and a month earlier than NBC's story to boot.
Oliver Cromwell said it best: "I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken."
There is something close, even better, when overall API design/architecture is considered, that is ember.js. Check ember-cli/embroider which angular-cli initially forked from. I give it 1.5 years for ember to pretty much dominate SPA development, In the last two years some people were laughing at me, now Im laughing at them.
Language is definitely the most self-important part of the mind, and the only part proclaiming itself as "indispensable". The voice in our heads is most definitely telling us "if I wasn't here saying these things you'd be dead by now."

The math part of your brain never shouts equations at you to guilt and cow you into submission to do things you otherwise wouldn't or forego opportunities to quell the demons within. We also never consider that losing another faculty would "completely stop our ability to function", but we do think that about language. This article proves otherwise (its just another function, like math or the ability to do spatial reasoning).
CVE-2019-8641 – Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in OS X

No. Why do you ask? The entire article supports this subtitle as written.
I think the modest fee allowed him to comment on perhaps being let off lightly in this case. Like, he paid 15 more than he'd expected, and while his partner was fuming, he was sorta thinking "well, coulda' been worse!"

So it might have been a reasonable device to use for expressing this dynamic.
> I don't trust a government entity to be "independent" or "non-partisan."

so do you worry about the post office not delivering your mail if it's of a political nature, the fire department not showing up to put out a fire at your political parties' headquarters, cops not showing up if you're known to be of "that party" ? do these people all act in a partisan fashion throughout their day jobs ?
You can keep calling me condescending, but that's not an argument. If you have a definition of "respect" that includes unnecessary killing, great. Provide that definition and then tell me that you use the same definition for ones treatment of humans. If not, you're guilty of special pleading. If you have citations of philosophers who make an argument that you can hunt an individual for sport while respecting them, I'd love to see them.

If you want to express a difference in opinion, do so. You keep repeating that you don't like my statements and there are other opinions, but you have not yet been able to articulate what that different opinion is and how it applies to the conversation.
From what I have read about Wirth his way of thinking is the computer science equivalent of Bauhaus minimalism. Which oddly enough doesn't appeal to me in the design of everyday things all that much (I can definitely respect it though), but feels very fitting for computer science.

The Impact of Time to Value for Rewards Programs
I remember reading a semi-apocryphal story from the 70s where a criminal group rented a minicomputer w some logistics software package and used it to pyramid a huge check kiting scheme. They had some tech problems which caused the whole thing to implode, given the tight time constraints they had in keeping the money moving.
I'd second the other commenter's suggestion of an anthology. For a comprehensive anthology with a terrific reference section where you can learn the "technical details" of poetry, I'd recommend The Norton Anthology of Poetry.
This is even worse in the era of "sort by price." That top spot is immensely coveted, so the competition and innovation is to get a lower sorting price, rather than competition and innovation in getting a lower true price.

Of course, if your competitors engage in tricks, you have to as well. Otherwise you're relegated to the bottom of the list where no one clicks.

The natural equilibrium sucks. What's the solution?
You are generally entitled to bond, unless there you are: a) a danger to the community; or b) a flight risk.

Let's break this one down.

>>irrationally committed to using and defending drugs.

Why is it irrational? You get plenty of libertarians who think that "let me ruin my body if I so choose" types as well as SJW "the war on drugs is a war on minorities" types on here. There's plenty of very rational arguments in favor of drug policy reform.

>>You would think a site oriented toward engineers would have more... Hypochondriacs

This is a hot take on engineers. Also, why not also assume that there's plenty of anxious personality types who want to find something to help them relax? Never mind there's just a general predilection towards mammalian minds to find ways to get distorted perception experiences{1}.

>>Maybe Im wrong about this being a site for engineers.

You are. It's "hacker" news, not "developer news" for a reason. I personally know I identify more with "hacker" than "developer" or "engineer". There's an overlap, but it's not 1:1.

I played with this when I got my first 3D printer about 5 years ago -- I took a photo of my house key and replicated it in about a half hour. The photo was (intentionally) not a great one.

It was at that time that I started keeping all of my keys in a sleeve. Do I now need to start wearing gloves?
Basically, banks charge each other per each transaction. To minimize the amount they have to pay, instead of requesting thousands of small transactions, they batch things up into larger overnight jobs. The other problem is that banks can only directly deal with other banks that they have a relationship with. So to transfer money from bank A to bank C, where A and C don't have an account with each other, they have to go through bank B that they both mutually trust. It's kind of like a computer network where each hop between routers can take up to a day.
These scams work because once you have made a reservation online, and have likely made other plans that depend on it, the service is now more valuable than what you agreed to pay for it.

Thing is, nobody has agreed to anything yet, so you have just signalled your willingness to commit to that anchor price when you show up, now at a disadvantage because you have no other plan or way to get to a competitor, and they can pile stuff on until your complaining causes them opportunity cost against screwing other people.

Making a decision takes effort and energy, meaning once you have done it, you have less if it to argue. Pretty much every online price for holiday or services I have seen has a %33 markup of "fees," "insurance," "deposits," above the sticker price.

When someone renegs on a deal or tries to add "what about this one last thing," once you've committed, leave.
That's akin to the Mafia saying they're going to install a "consumer feedback box" on Jimmy Hoffa's grave...

Sidebar:

As a long-time Raymond Smullyan fan, I was delighted to read the different article about Ghosn and Nissan and undisclosed compensation.

Matt raised a Smullyan-esque question:

If the act of prosecuting Ghosn meant that the undisclosed compensation would no longer be paid, does that mean that prosecuting the crime prevents the crime from occurring?

I suppose the rational answer is that the crime is in the conspiracy to attempt to do the thing, not the successful carrying out of the thing, but still, it is amusing to imagine a crime that is only a crime if it isn't revealed to be a crime.
Thanks for replying. In my previous post, I just wanted to share my experience as someone who has used Svelte (for few days, though, nowhere close to how much you have).

1. I just missed the part of documentation that talks about optional properties. And with undefined and null issue, it's a bit surprising that two-way bindings behave differently that 1-way. Passing null or undefined is convenient when an API gives you such values and they represent empty there.

2. Ok. What I feared is that the tutorial would turn out not to be bugged, and Svelte would be a bad choice for CPU-intensive SPAs. Thanks for reassuring me that's not the case. I'd still love to see the fix for the tutorial bug (because at the first glance, there isn't anything that screams "wrong!" in its code).

3. Yup. I just wanted to point out it's noticeable if you look for it. I will look into SSR later.

4. Same as in point 2.

BTW I just wasted 2 hours fighting with bind:group[0][1]. This issue is an example of what I meant by saying that people may want to wait before jumping on Svelte.

If you were advocating abstaining from black market products your comment would make sense, but saying "keep everything like it is right now" is saying that we should continue to have unregulated product on the market. Best intentions aside, abstinence isn't happening.

Why should it be a problem just saying you are running a datacenter at that place? If you are thinking about tax evasion or similar they probably had to deal with that anyhow. Also i am pretty sure running a datacenter even if it is home to some illegal activities is not illegal per se. As long as you do not actively assist in such activities or publicly announce support for such activities i think you are good.

Looks like they're using tokens as input as if it's natural language. You have an AST, use it. I think the limitation is the lack of graph and tree based neural networks, but I don't think you need a neural network to search code. You already have the AST. This could be solved with a traditional analytic approach, but it's probably a lot of hard work.

> The issue is that those who listen to the arguments and make the decision may not know enough to counter the arguments.

Sure. Congresspeople are neither scientists nor technologists. I get that. Congresspeople do have the power to spend government funds though, and they are more than capable of commissioning an outside research agency with expertise in the given area to provide commentary. In fact, this is better than a government agency with only 140 employees.

First of all, not all 140 of those employees are researchers. Assume -- generously -- that 120 are. That is still only 120 researchers. The idea that 120 people can be enough to exhaustively provide expertise on all possible ranges of technology and science, etc, is ridiculous. 120 people would barely be able to offer expertise on all the various computer science topics, much less physics, climate science, etc.

Instead of pretending that this limited office could actually be an expert in everything, it's much better to be realistic, and just pay someone else to prepare a study, and testify, like an expert witness would. If you are worried about bias, make it so that commissions have to hire two agencies -- it's probably still cheaper than funding a government bureaucracy and giving them all pensions anyway.
Let's be honest. Many enterprises and business processes are hack upon hack all held together with duct tape and glue.
