And Apple implements it.

Safari supports two JavaScript APIs that let you accept Apple Pay payments from customers on your website: Apple Pay JS, and the W3C Payment Request API. The Apple Pay JS API is analogous to the PassKit (Apple Pay and Wallet) framework, used for Apple Pay in apps. The Payment Request API is a W3C candidate API.

It seems to be supported across all browsers.

This reminds me of a interesting armchair moral dilemma: Assume we have the tech to replicate/simulate a biological brain. Now say we want to study the effects of extreme pain/torture etc on the brain. Instead of studying living animals or humans we'd just simulate a brain, and simulate sending it pain signals and see what happens.

But, if this is a 100% replicated brain, doesn't that mean its suffering is just as real as a real brain's suffering, and therefor just as cruel? And if not, what's the difference?
AGI is not a research problem but an imagination problem. I can’t vouch for how good John Carmack is in imagination, but striving to put things together with a goal seems like a good place to start.
Mobile is certainly fine for many changes such as updating documentation!
Less supply of able and willing truck drivers at their current level of compensation means companies will have to increase said compensation to try and keep or attract truck drivers to avoid decreasing capacity. Increased driver compensation means increased costs for the company employing said drivers, which in turn means passing on the costs to whomever wants things shipped. Econ 101 supply and demand curves.
We should discriminate against evil. Period.
I imagine the AGI system of the future would not make humans happy via that method in that its decision would be counteracted by including physical health indicators in the fitness function.

The current MacBook pros are a menace for the sounds those keyboards make alone.

I was stunned that no one at Apple heard that ridiculously obnoxious CLACK CLACK CLACKING and didn't think we would do something about that.

Does anyone inside Apple know how that disaster of a keyboard came to be? How did logic and rationality not see it turfed the moment it was trialled?

(This new keyboard claims to be quieter. Although calling it "magic" is just so pretentious and so.. Apple)

The Insufferable Arrogance of Linters
Your preferred coding style is not a "best practice" simply because you've written a parser to automatically detect deviations or because your others on your team agree to follow one convention for the sake of consistency.
That’s why it’s opt in.
It'd be a pretty good thing if AI replaced (most) doctors, actually. Not for the doctors or the insurance companies, but for most everyone else.

And yes I understand the value of linters :p
I'm reasonably sure USD (or EUR) will still exist, have some reasonably similar value, and be usable in five years.

Sure, but even with an inflation rate of 2%, if you hold USD for 10 years, its purchasing power is cut in half.

Every BAT token that’s ever going to exist has already been minted, so it can’t be inflated by creating more of it. There will be no quantitive easing, “too big to fail” or bailouts in the BAT ecosystem.

That almost certainly will not be the case for either the dollar or the Euro.
Superhero or Supervillain? Technology’s Role Changes Comic Books
We used Icarus Verilog for a class at SDSU specifically so we weren't saddled with crappy vendor tools.

It even worked on Windows.

And, come on, how can you argue with a coding team who will make you an honorary "Steve"? (Inside joke: for a while it seemed like everyone who worked on Icarus Verilog was named "Steve" or some variant--so we started joking that anyone not named Steve needed to get rechristened with a new honorary first name.)
> That's equally true for Windows

No it isn't. People routinely run software that was compiled decades ago on Windows.

> and there is no OS called Linux

Maybe that's part of why it's so shit? You have a problem with it, and someone pops up and says to use a different distro (with it's own set of different problems) or condescendingly explains how "Linux is just a kernel" like anyone gives a fuck.

I disagree, that might be true for USA, but there are many other examples where the vast majority of the population does in fact subsidize intervention in less fortunate areas.

Not everything needs to be done in the name of individual profit.

As a side note, using the term "golden toilet" for New Orleans, or Venice, or pretty much any other City in a difficult situation, doesn't certainly convey empathy as my initial comment wanted to point out.

Well, you’re half right. Baby showers in various forms definitely are in many cultures ancient traditions. Gender reveal parties (at least pre-natal ones; there's some post-natal traditions that have some similarity), quite obviously, not.

Uuh, AI research has nothing to do with coding all nighters. This is a common misconception among software engineers. It is more a science, and less an engineering problem. It is more about running experiments than it is writing fancy algorithms.

You are bound by the amount of data and computational resources you have at your disposal. Neither are tied to man hours. You can stay up all night for days waiting for your model to train, and it will do you no good.
more generally, don't we expect General AI systems to be racist if they have racist parents? That's just proof that the AI works human-like.
If you knew the effort and cost that goes into large scale near and offshore seismic and non-seismic surveys then you wouldn't think twice about putting the value of the data well above the value of the hardware.

Offshore deepwater (~2500ft+) non-seismic surveys might cost 6-7 figures per day to operate, and might fill up a hard drive every 1-3 days.

Depending on how many drives fit on a tape, the raw data could get very expensive, very quickly, even before it's been processed, analyzed, etc.

Thanks for your recommendations. I'll probably be using metal or vulcan for most of my work so I'll need to get an overview of those (I last did graphics work with OpenGL back in the late 90s), but I really want to get an understanding of all the fundamentals - your links will be super helpful.
You can view these as optimized pattern recognizer regexes. You start with a blank fully connected graph and it eventually converge on a useful function. That graph has many paths encoded in it that represents specific optimal game play.
My point is not meant to be inflammatory, nor derogatory. My understanding is that medicine is very hard as a domain (correct me if I'm wrong! i am not a medical practitioner). I am not proposing these people are stupid, nor that they are incompetent, but that humans have human failings and that is what leaning on technology is for. Medicine is hard enough without help. I am proposing more help, just as autopilot is to aircraft pilots. Commercial air travel is very safe, but still has humans making decisions.
Thanks to everyone for your recommendations. There's some real gems here.

As far as I can tell the W3C Payments API standardises the path from payment provider to merchant, but the customer to payment provider interaction is the proprietary part.

I.e as a merchant I can easily integrate Apple Pay as an available payment option in the same way as others, but as a customer I can't use Apple Pay unless I'm using Apple sanctioned devices/software and have an Apple account. Other commenters mentioned it only working in Safari, and according to Wikipedia it only works on Apple devices.
I like the idea. The scrollbar jail bars are pretty jarring with regard to 'minimalist' sensibilities.
That's a lot of emotion for some decision I wouldn't even have noticed. (Not a single 32bit app, as I found out).

But, anyway, if you want to use decades-old software, why are you so keen on updating to the latest MacOS?

I was there for most of that, but loosing 32-bit feels different to me. For the physical peripherals, I could still use them on old hardware. Forcing me to remain on an old OS is far more severe and I too (and everyone in my extended family) ran into this. In particular, my relatives depend on the old Microsoft office packages they bought eons ago. "Fixing" the problem Apple gifted us means buying and learning new software (and AFAICT, you can't even buy Office anymore, only rent it).

This is extremely disappointing and I'm not even sure what to do next time their hardware dies (which has happened multiple times).
I went through this recently. Exactly what you went through. Combined with the intense feeling that everything is meaningless. No amount of reading did anything for me. I tried to change my views and everything, but nope.

Then I went to a psychiatrist. Got prescribed benzodiapenes. Two weeks on it, every existential thoughts vanished. I felt normal again. Then my doc stopped it. Got some severe withdrawals from the benzos. I would never ever touch benzos with a 3 foot pole again. Even after 3 months of leaving benzos I have some bouts of anxiety. I use Ashwagandha regularly. To me it's been life changing. The thoughts don't completely vanish but even if it comes, it makes you feel meh. Also travel. Traveling a lot helped me. Made me focus outwards rather than my inner voice. Traveling, going out a lot, Ashwagandha and talking to people is what's helping me by a significant amount.

I am not a native speaker, so if anything confuses you please ask away :)

You can drag further with it or use it at a higher sensitivity and drag as much as you used to. There are also more places you can start dragging so it’s more likely you will naturally touch your finger down and start dragging.
Using a hardware token to protect the subkeys is important but it is also necessary to protect the primary key by keeping it offline.

The best method I know is to store it on paper with the help of paperkey:

http://www.jabberwocky.com/software/paperkey/

The tool also supports a raw output mode which can be piped to a QR encoder. 4096 bit RSA secret keys fit in binary QR codes and they are much easier to use compared to manual data entry.

Current versions of zbar can't decode binary data in QR codes properly. I've sent some patches that fix the problem but they haven't been reviewed yet. Hopefully it will be possible to automate this process with zbarcam soon.
Oh, don't underestimate the longevity of the no-floppy and especially the no-ethernet complainers. Just as one data point: there are non-ironic gripes about those decisions in this very thread.

They already do. Many logistics companies have a "brokerage" area where try and get trucking companies (or truckers) to bid on loads going from x to y. I used to support software that did this. Not a fan of the software, but the people where blast to work with. In the area I worked with, it could get pretty crazy (lots of yelling across the room and the yelling at people on the phone LOL). They occasionally had less than ethical truckers holding loads hostage for more money....

> “We switched to the cloud” isn’t a decision made by development orgs in any non-software company. In most businesses, supportability by IT and boring bureaucratic processes are king.

This might have been true in your experience but it hasn’t been in mine (.com, .edu, .gov). There’s common term (shadow IT) for what inevitably happens: someone hires their own staff, gets their own servers, arranges their contractors to host it, architects their application requirements so it can’t be run by central IT, etc. The reason it happens is that the IT department is not listening to its users and thus giving them a strong incentive to find alternatives to accomplish their jobs — and they’ll almost always win unless the CIO is politically untouchable and has an iron hand on the budget.

This is especially true in these cases: using the cloud or containers is what senior management are hearing from all of their consultants, and likely many peers. If you’re trying to hold that back without a really good reason, it is unlikely to end well for you unless you’re related to the CEO, especially since it’s easy to find people with equivalent or greater experience who can point to good results from having adopted what are now relatively mature technologies with plenty of case studies.

> “Adopt whatever buzzword shit developers are into” is about the worst career advice you can actually give sysadmins that work in non-cutting edge companies.

If you think that’s true, I would suggest you reread my comment and ask whether that’s a fair reading of my suggestion about finding a way to balance concerns. There is a huge amount of space between “no” and “you can run whatever you want”.

In 2019 America, "Socialism" explicitly does not mean the state or workers own the means of production. 2019 American "Socialism" is capitalism with guard rails, raising up the bottom class a bit at the cost of the top.
