US copyright laws have been proliferated around the world. Copyright was originally intended to be a limited-time monopoly which allowed consumers the ability to trust creators and creators the ability to share without worry that their idea would be stolen by other businesses. It was never intended to limit the rights of consumers, it's been warped into that by Disney which rewrote the laws to protect Mickey. Copyright as it is goes against the very purpose of creation preventing any new works from ever being created.

The gadget looks very interesting, I have already seen something similar among the Chinese, but it is of a slightly different size. I hope this device will be the first step towards phones with a high-resolution screen and a diagonal of 3-4.5 inches. I want a phone that is convenient to use with one hand and which can do the same as any other modern phone.

I would say the big difference is that in Australia (or least Brisbane where I was) laws against littering are actually enforced. And public drinking is a lot more regulated.
I've also concluded that the lowest chance (and highest variance) is the best strategy. Even though the expected value is the same for all options, as another comment says.

This means that in a real life casino roulette one should bet (the minimum bet) on a single number and stop after the first win (or after running out of money).

Furthermore, a car necessarily encapsulates it's passengers while transporting them from one state to another and may allow one or more passengers to temporarily un-encapsulate while parked at a rest stop along an interstate highway. The car as an encapsulation of passengers has come under criticism by some for allowing this temporary un-encapsulation however others consider this a positive attribute and note the behavior is typically only observed shortly after crossing state boundaries and for a limited duration relative to the total time of encapsulation.

Next will set up a Kubernetes cluster (probably as far as I’ll get with containers).
Remember WinFS?

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

The idea was that the OS used a relational DB-like file system to store things and recognise them for what they are and deal with them differently instead of everything being streams of bytes, e.g. pictures aren't the same as Word documents.

Didn't materialise but I remember at the time being dead excited by the concept.

You run arbitrary code from a lot more sites than you just those you visit, and I doubt you're combing through it.

Third-party JS, tracking, unblocked advertisements, possibly malicious on-site code, etc.

If you're allowing any site to run JavaScript, you're running entirely arbitrary and uncontrolled code on your machine, and thus is in dire need of the mitigations.

It's a different situation for a server designed to not run remote code, which makes it practically impossible to exploit speculative execution vulnerabilities.
I am paying 76 euros/month for 500/100 (This is max achievable, with latency at around 6ms, after replacing their crappy router (12ms+) with mikrotik, throughput can be lower but mostly it is throttled by source) fiber connection + 1 phone (50gb download, LTE, with 80% of country coverage) + max iptv scheme with HBO + static ipv4 ip and reverse resolve. I would love to hear what the prices are around the world.

I found it immediately limiting - either you put your stuff in one of the preordained categories like music, movies, photos, videos (and pretty much nothing else), or your stuff is siloed in whatever specific application you load it into.

That's not a tool you can use to create things with, unless it's music, movies, photos or videos. It lacked the freedom to permit innovation.

What a terrifyingly capitalistic view.
Sorry, I consider this to be a very poor defence.

You might trust the site you go to; but that's not all the javascript that gets loaded, there are includes that a lot of web developers will use for convenience, there are ad networks and there are bugs that could allow some unintended javascript to get loaded (like with bit-squatting[0]).

It's not a given that you're safe running javascript if you only visit sites you trust. Even if you are INCREDIBLY sanitary, which I would argue is unrealistic (just check your history and you'll see that you probably visit many sites off of a google search).

Antony doesn't read, understand or speak Japanese. All his information is from other people and books. If you want some legit information from a westener, I suggest looking out books and texts from Kacem Zoughari, who has Ph.D. in Japanese History and Culture. He also reads and speaks fluent Japanese, and has lived there. Plus he has a lot of martial arts experience.
You need a dedicated BGA removal/reflow tool (like a Metcal) a compatible RAM board to mount the removed BGA upon for insertion into a RAM tester, then you need a hardware RAM tester like RAMCHECK LX.

Ah, I took it as code review during the peer review process (i.e. from reviewers). Unsure how realistic this would be.
I agree, and I think on this case it would recommend betting a negative value and taking the other side of the bet, since the expected value is negative.

Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion: "If the edge is negative (b<q/p) the formula gives a negative result, indicating that the gambler should take the other side of the bet."

Looking forward to your feedback!
For my first part-time job, I'd been there long enough to have a solid reputation; I also had a fairly-new boss during what had been a super-productive time for me, so he'd really only seen great work from me. I'm sure he was afraid that I'd quit if I wasn't allowed to go part-time, although I was very careful not to say or even imply that.

It was company policy that if you worked at least 50% time, you got full medical. They had standard procedures and forms for it, but still, it was pretty rare. You needed approval up to VP level IIRC. My boss was a director, so that took care of two levels of approval to start with, and his boss [who didn't know me well] trusted his opinion, so it was approved pretty fast, on a see-how-it-goes basis. It went well, so I stayed at 60% for about 3 years, before deciding I wanted to move on.

I don't know how you'd get a job at Google at that duty cycle from the outside; I did hear of one person coming in at 80%, but it's got to be a hard sell.

The 40% job I'm working now was a pretty special case in a number of ways. I was already an adviser of the company before working there. I then started working at 40% for stock and minimum wage, since I didn't need paying for a while and they couldn't afford me at the time anyway. When I'd vested out the stock, just as my COBRA ran out, we negotiated that my salary would go up to maintain the same total comp, but then down by 60% of the cost of medical, and they'd cover the other 40%. You can do these things at small startups; everything's negotiable. At a big company, it's going to be a lot less flexible.

"Important Note Repeated or egregious violations of the policies may result in your developer account being banned from the store. This may also result in the suspension of related Google services associated with your Google account."

Google is into all these different services and wants them all managed from one Google ID. But if you have a problem with one of their services, it can screw you on all of their services.

Yeah. But people say it enough I've started mentally converting it to:

"I _could_ care less (but I can't be bothered)."
Well, as a Korean, I think that this is due to the difference of importance of how other people think me.
I've heard that the western world is very individualistic, and people in general don't care much about how other people acts.

In Korea (and AFAIK Japan too), people very care of what other people think about them.
They consider the consequences of every action carefully.
One of the results is that people generally don't litter in front of other people, and that makes the city clean.
The places without much people, they are dirtier than others because there aren't other people around them.
Why can't smartphones be used directly as POS terminals?
Hi HN! I'm interested in this space, and my google fu is failing to penetrate into this particular bubble.

I'd like to know about standards regarding the workings of payments at all levels of the technology stack, down to the hardware. Any links are welcome.

This has come about through reading the Stripe Terminal product page. It has always struck me as rather odd and redundant that an external POS terminal is mandatory when phones have NFC chips in them. I'm clearly missing something, and would like to know what that is. I guess that the phone's NFC chips lack something?

I understand how Google/Apple pay works, but I'd like to know why I can't set an amount to charge directly on my phone, pass it to a customer, and have them tap their credit/debit card on my phone.

Slightly different scenario, but also wondering why I have to interact with a POS terminal in-store at all, when there is the option of an online payment directly on my phone. I guess this is more of a UX nightmare rather than a constraint of technology, but would love to have this confirmed.

Thanks!
How much should we spend? And for what length of outage? One week of full backup would be quite expensive.
Most credit card companies it would be no problem at all. It shouldn’t be necessary though, a quick call to the merchant should be all that is necessary for them to void it.

I'm not sure if this is only an about accessibility to non-tech people.

Think about it: You can't get files on your device in a useable format anymore. This means piracy becomes exponentially harder to consume (i.e. you can't use your iPad [easily] as a reader for your pirated ebooks). Quite honestly, that's a stroke of genius and likely a secondary motivation for this workflow.

Nothing. I self-host nothing. My entire home networking infrastructure consists of a more powerful WiFi router than the one built into the modem that the cable company provides so that it reaches to the back of my apartment. I pay money for GitHub, Dropbox, iCloud, Apple Music, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime, a VPN to spoof my location occasionally, and Google Apps (or I would, if I were not grandfathered into the free tier). When I want to spin up a personal project, I do it on Heroku.

I live in a stable first-world democracy. Or, since it seems to be getting less stable recently, maybe a better way to put it is: I participate in a stable global economy. If "the cloud" catastrophically fails to the point where I lose all of the above without warning, I will likely have bigger problems than never being able to watch a favorite tv show again.

I wonder if this exposes two kinds of people: those who value mobility, and are more comfortable limiting the things that are important to them to a laptop and a bug-out bag, and those who value stability, and are inclined to build self-sufficient infrastructure in their castles.
Yes, a lot of driving is knowing when to be scared (other than all the time). When you’re in the car with someone just starting it’s terrifying for both parties. Then as the learner, it’s easy to become complacent and think, ‘if I just do the right/legal thing, I’m alright’, but it’s not true because lots of other people break the rules (some situations break the rules!) and you need to coexist without blocking traffic. Lots of things will make an experienced driver nervous not because they’re wrong, but because other people won’t expect it.

For the more advanced (and safe) driving, it’s all about predicting other drivers by recognizing their type and knowing how they will respond. That’s really hard and new/foreign drivers are the most difficult. It’s also what makes driving in other places so hard and occasionally dangerous for experienced drivers... LA is not NY is not Boston is not Berlin is not Naples is not Greece is not Shanghai is not Seoul is not Beijing is not Delhi (I think many people who’ve driven/riden a lot in these places will instantly feel how it is to drive each of these cities).

You have to drive differently in each place so that other drivers (even the ones who are just learning) know what you’re going to do... be predictable and like the other traffic (even if it breaks rules, goes too fast, and gets too close together. I've never driven in Africa or Eastern Europe, but as a passenger it’s terrifying. Other places like Shanghai seem to break the rules in more polite ways that I’m more comfortable with.

To give an example many people will recognize, if you leave ‘too much room’ or drive ‘too slowly’ on a LA freeway other drivers will cut you off in incredibly dangerous ways... you have to ‘move with the flow of traffic’ which often means 15mph over the speed limit with less than a 2 car length gap to the vehicle ahead.

Something like this could be implemented, but Hydra is using argparse for a few basic flags (--help, --run, --cfg etc) and argparse would not like us passing arbitrary undefined flags.

Philosophically speaking, I am not seeing a big advantage for Hydra overrides syntax to line up with getopt. What it does is different.
For example, unlike with getopt - you MUST specify a value with every override, there is no support for flags like --verbose. it would have to be verbose=true, the reason is that those are editing the configuration object, and in 99% of the cases you want to put in a value and not default to true.

Also, you should be thinking of those command line arguments as editing a complex object. db.driver=mysql means: in the db map, change value of the driver key to mysql.

This makes me so incredibly sad.

The project is so exciting and so right. Fully REST compliant backend, designed to support access by either REST or GraphQL queries, and pairable with Mercure to have fully REST async push subscriptions. Full backwards compatibility with REST and full solving of modern API design problems. That's incredibly cool. And then you discover that it's AGPL licensed. Time to move on. So incredibly sad.

All that brilliant design work, all that fantastic problem solving. Shipped with a license that in the commercial world really is the kiss of death and that simply isn't possible to get past the legal department of any company large enough to have a legal department. My sadness isn't just that those of us with legal departments can't use this, it's that adoption will be so slow that all that incredible work you put into this isn't going to receive the uptake and adoption it deserves.
