Sure, but it's still a maladaptation to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.
Banks form an important part of it as KYC is designed to cut down on Money Laundering. Globally KYC/AML rules have gotten much stricter in recent years. If criminals can't access their money it ought to curb some of the incentives.
Why would they need 5 confirmations?
Nothing of that complexity is 5-10c in volume (even huge volumes). I would guess somewhere in the 1-2$ range, which _is_ a big issue for them. For reference, 5-10c won't even buy you a middle to low performance op-amp.

The Pi became possible because of integration, where the SoC supported all the required interfaces internally so very few external ICs were required. That's what allows them to keep the price so low. Additional chips add significant additional cost. That's why there have always been compromises like the USB-connected ethernet. They can only do what the SoC supports natively.
> I thought that lots of senior housing establishments offer what is essentially dorm living as an option in between independent apartment living and full nursing care?

My grandmother moved into one of those a few years ago, after one of her friends moved in and loved it. She's still pretty independent, making her own food sometimes instead of eating in the cafeteria, still driving (although she's mentioned that she's thinking of selling her car and voluntarily giving up her license, but seems to really enjoy living around so many people her own age and being able to attend the social events they hold. Although she hasn't had any health problems (89 years and still going strong!), it's comforting to us to know that if some sort of emergency did happen, there are plenty of people around whose jobs are to help out.
It already exists and millions of people have been doing it since the 60's, backpacker hostels. I think as a general rule you'd be paying over $2000 a month for a private room, but if you're willing to share you can get well below $1000 a month.
It’s kinda interesting that the response to social media ads is “ban them all” when the same targeting system could be used to inform and educate people on how to improve their station (and perhaps in the end, have more money to buy stuff).
I and many others are totally with you when it comes to asyncio vs. gevent.
Maybe if they used something prettier than R it would help?
I've done an 80% cut from someone who intro'ed me to a major telco. Sometimes the value of the job is not just the money, but also the connections. He charged them a ludicrous price, but also paid me well.

It depends a lot on his role. I'd be happy to pay up to 50% to someone who acts as a full time agent, dealing with negotiations, client filtering, writing and proofreading contracts, harassing them for payment. They have to eat too. Unfortunately, most people who take this role don't do it very well.

But as a pure referral fee, 10% seems fair.
Yes, that is certainly the case unless you have great connections and are likely especially talented.
ggplot2 is pretty damn nice
Capitalize it instead. There is a need so it makes sense to make some money with it. What is the business viability of the following:

25 minute theater for lunch. room at 11:45 use their smartphones to vote for the show. All attendees must make a purchase.

Dance halls. I probably have 3 feet, but I can learn.

Certainly there must be a way to make money selling company.
It's funny, because I consider asyncio (and derivatives like curio) to be the worst part of Python 3. There are plenty of other compelling reasons to move over. No, none of them revolutionize the language, but there are fewer warts and cleaner ways of doing many things.
Being the only woman at an SF startup poker game

MLMs / Pyramid Schemes and bitcoin are fundamentally different constructs.
Ask Julian Assange [1] how this works with political speech and journalism. Though I've probably provoked "the hate" by naming the major example rather than thought about the underlying principles and what's at stake.

If that were the law, then the MLM's simple workaround would be to pay you a recruiting fee based on the success of the people you recruit. If the people you recruit sell a lot, you get a bigger fee because you did a better job at recruiting.

I imagine it'll be tough to craft a law to target MLMs because if it's too broad it'll hit many kinds of legitimate business and if too narrow they'll creatively bypass the rules.
Humanitarian Catastrophe by Technological Boom
Im not entirely surprised accidents are low, the places with the most guns have strong gun culture who have learned and put into practice gun safety from a young age. Many of the older folks have taken shooting classes or done shooting sport while in school, many of the younger generation have taken hunter safety courses, and of course military service people throughout the entire time, and all would teach basic gun safety. You will be kicked off any range for not being safe and most anyone who owns guns will very quickly correct anybody not being safe.

The amount of people who know nothing about guns and never shot one under proper supervision and then go out and purchase a firearm without researching anything are extremely low, so accidents remain pretty low.
Right.

Many VPN providers issue connection credentials with zero confirmations. Because reversal is nontrivial enough that it's worth the risk.

So I guess that it'd be the same for camboys/camgirls.
>u can't tweet anywhere else but on twitter. You can't post a rehashed picture with a motivational quote, and gain thousands of likes, anywhere else but on the facebook networks.

there are plenty of products more than number of newspapers out there, if you are not happy with these platforms you can start your own far to easily too.

Just the way newspapers are dying so will facebook, twitter, instagram and many others. We only need for the next big thing to rise.

On that day people will lament how awesome was Facebook that helped independent writers, journalists and influencers and how the new thing is ruining the world.
I am not convinced it is just that. PayPal also refuses to do business with online gambling which is an industry with low fraud levels (in the early poker days they were high, but that was a long time ago). Thankfully there are a bunch pf credit card processors who know how good customers online casinos are and most banks are fine too, so that industry is not deplatformed.

> Many of the externalities you describe would be the same if people just drove their own cars.

no, this isn't correct and on its face looks like a straw man, so i'm pretty sure you're arguing in bad faith, but i'll try to give someone of the "market" mindset a market argument.

market zealots tell us that as things become cheaper, people do more of them. subsidizing ride sharing, evading regulations, etc. generally made ride sharing become a cheaper alternative to taxis. as a result, it suddenly became generally affordable for well off people to "ride share" around everywhere as a manner of commuting. this very likely led to more congestion than a world without ride sharing would have.

that some of these well off individuals could have done the same in private cars is not really relevant. ride sharing became so economical that bus riders, pedestrians and cyclists changed their behavior to make use of it. this isn't controversial - there's at least one study from SF that found this; i'm guessing other municipalities have found the same.
> When people say this, what they really mean is they prefer a society where people are less empowered to speak their minds, looking into the past with rose tinted glasses.

Maybe sometimes, but banning advertisement based business models doesn't necessarily constrain free speech in any major way, and it is in no way my intent. I in no way advocate restrictions in speech beyond this particular "restriction in free speech", but I am always open to consider new ideas.

> Meanwhile, society today is more educated, richer, healthier and more cognizant of its problems than ever. Try telling a 50s housewife to stop driving around her gas guzzler while smoking.

This seems completely orthogonal to the topic. Does this have something to do with "looking into the past with rose tinted glasses", which I also don't understand?

> and in the process demolish liberties - that's something only dictatorships do.

That statement is objectively false. Democracies have thousands upon thousands of laws that "demolish liberties".

> That sounds a horrible thing to wish for.

I agree, so you'll be happy to hear that not only do I not wish for it, I would very much like to avoid it happening.

> Such talk is purely vengeful.

Not purely. It can also be an observation of increasing polarization and anger forming in a society. This topic has appeared quite frequently in a variety of media reports over the last several years, and it seems like a reasonable thing to be concerned with.

> it's pretty clear people will start using the alternative the day after tomorrow, and that may be VK or the chinese alternative

That is a prediction of the future, and regardless of whether it is "clear" to you, the certainty of arbitrary predictions actually occurring is not. And if it does come to pass, we can react accordingly.

> The social media cat is out of the bag and it's wrong, indeed violent to take away people's empowered rights to speech

Lots of people have imaginative opinions about what is "wrong" and "violent", but this has always been so, and mankind has always had to find a way to come to compromise. Having an opinion is fine, but keep in mind everyone has them.

> Taking away people's rights to force-install someone's idea of utopia in a society is called authoritarianism

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

Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms.[1] Political scientists have created many typologies describing variations of authoritarian forms of government.[1] Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic in nature, and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military.[2][3] etc etc etc

And once again, you'll be pleased to learn I have no intention of "force-installing my idea of utopia" in society, any more than thousands of political representatives in the past intended to when they advocated for various legislation.
A lot of the laws were simply passed under the guise of helping people but were in fact passed to further peoples moral agendas. Easy tell that's the case when data comes along that contradicts the laws efficacy..
Why limit the ban to social media? I'm for a 100% ban on advertising in all forms across all media with no exceptions.

You are equating "telling a person to shut up and leave the discussion while allowing other people to keep attacking them in some way" with physically and forcefully removing them from the discussion, when it rather refers to a social expectation/demand of a group vs. an individual.

Such a signal is also sent by downvotes without argument, not to mention piling on to a downvoted or flagged comment (people can respond to response to a flagged comment just fine, and can agree with each other about how horrible the flagged person is or what else they probably advocate for, and all that stuff), while that person is rate limited if not shadowbanned.

I can't vote on comments anymore, neither positive nor negative. No clue why, it's been that way since a few months and I stopped caring, just like I wouldn't terribly mind "writing for the showdead community exclusively".

But I know that I upvoted comments that I found reasonable, and unfairly greyed out. So either I was manually selected for that, without any precedent or any communication, or there's an algorithm that blindly removes voting from people who don't agree with the herd enough. Either way, the people who haven't been on the wrong end of the stick much are always super quick to assume that means there's nothing shitty going on. But that has more to do with what people want to believe, not with actually looking into any of it.
Talk to gun retailers that were shut down by Chase and Bank of America.

Legal has nothing to do with it. There is an increasing degree of business that entirely revolves around feelings of people who yell the loudest.
> Harm to the people you recruit is basically what direct sales amounts to.

The trick is to make the seller believe one is helping the customer instead of hurting. dōTerra is an excellent example of this, encouraging its marks - sorry, "representatives" - to "spread awareness" of the "benefits" of its overpriced snake oils - sorry, "essential oils".

Like, don't get me wrong, I buy essential oils. I even work for a company that sells them. The difference is that I buy them because I spritz my wool dryer balls with them and they make my clothes smell good, not because I think it'll cure my migraines or fix the bald spot on my head. I also don't try to run a pyramid scheme with them.

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

There's no mention of "people" or "citizen" in that text. The government *cannot prohibit speech".

Of course, there are a few exceptions to that rule, but making more should have an incredibly high bar for approval, and you want to use it for advertising?

Enact laws that protect people from malicious and over zealous tracking, which I'm sure we would both agree is a gross violation of privacy.
> Firefox does this pretty bad now. I typically wait a few minutes after opening Firefox before doing anything. After roughly a minute Firefox has autocomplete in the URL bar, but no websites will load until I wait another minute or so.

Wow! I have maybe a dozen extensions installed, but even on my work laptop (which is not very high spec), I can use Firefox easily within 10 seconds of opening it. Do you have tons of tabs open and have it set to reopen the previous session? I'm kind of shocked to hear that it could take this long

3D Secure solves part of this problem. But there are two issues with it (1) some companies like PayPal have forced banks to make an exception for them (2) your credit card number can still be used in other contexts but much less conveniently than it used to be able to.

I'm totally in favor of doing this as it would force a more fair model (for everyone) where customers would pay directly for the services they use.

While that may be true, the governments have a consistent track record of using assumption that understate pension costs and a track record of underfunding the pensions. History has shown that one would be more accurate if they erred on the side that calculated higher costs, especially since they can kick the can down the road for so long.
1 sat/byte transactions will still clear the mempool, eventually. I don't think you need payments for porn to settle immediately. There are workarounds a business could use like speculatively accepting payment before a confirmation using heuristics e.g. the customer's past history. It's not an ideal situation, but the market decided this is the coin to use.

> "nobody" is a figure of speech of course.

Ok then, can you restate your prediction of the future without the use of figures of speech? Calling people delusional who disagree with an utterly vague warning seems a bit inappropriate.

> It's easy to settle the question with a poll: ask people worldwide if you 'd pay $40/year for FB. My bet would be it's < 5%

I like this much better, as it is no longer suggestive that certain approaches cannot be done for certain reasons, and instead only poses a perfectly valid question with an explicitly speculative bet about what the answer would be. Fantastic.

The states won't be bankrupted. Just a greater and greater portion of tax revenue will go towards paying for debt, which means less for investments for the future, so current and future taxpayers will take a hit to quality of life compared to better managed states (all else being equal).

Can people actually do that? I have rarely, if ever, seen this on Hacker News, and I feel like anything like this would be a good way to be downvoted or flagged yourself.

You're not alone: there are a number of people who do this already.

I wonder if this was supposed to be a nudge to use the "vouch" feature instead? Even if it was, it wasn't a particularly good one. Maybe the moderators could tell you why you can't vote if you emailed them?
There's only so much throttling it can do. If there really was zero ventilation and ambient temps were hot, components can start melting.

Doesn't always blow up. Notably b"key" and "key" are now distinct dictionary keys, and both can coexist in the same dict. Is the absence of an optional key a fatal error? No, the program runs, and just does the wrong thing, or fails to copy the right value to the next stage, or whatever. Fun to debug.

Yes it has been done, and works[0-3], it's just a matter of effort vs reward. Generally a simple heat sink and/or small fan setup works fine for nearly any usecase the Pi is designed for, and if you really do need to do heavier loads that require that level of effort to cool, then you probably shouldn't be using a Pi in the first place.
