If this was the US, sure. But Singapore has had 3 Prime Ministers, ever, and is in general considered a highly-competent government.
Not sure why you're getting down voted - this is all quite correct. The Chinese Government's response in and of itself speaks volumes about what the situation on the ground must be, and completely contradicts their own numbers.

I think the problem with the media though isn't what you're suggesting. We seem to be seeing a simple lack of basic research skills in many media outlets. Being able to go through a lot of real time media sources, separate truth from fiction, and build up a synthesis should be the basic qualification for a journalist these days - and probably would be, except the job no longer pays enough for the people who build up that kind of skill set.

Can't see the chaos though. There is a lot of spare capacity these days.

> If you want to argue that people should be able to build additional full-size dwelling units on their property, that's fine, and I might even agree with you.

I was taking a more conservative stance than that: Why not allow one ADU, and put a limit on the sum of the square footage on the property? Currently zoned for 8000 sq ft + 1200 sq ft ADU? Build two 4600 sq ft McMansions, for all I care.

Going to unlimited infill dwellings regardless of zoning and local infrastructure is pretty radical, and I’m actually not for that.
Yes the ancient Egyptians could have measured the circumference fairly easily.
What's with all these articles dissing the very idea of encrypting email? It used to be that hardly anyone cared. Now there seems to be some effort to discourage something that any reasonable person interested in privacy would enthusiastically support.

This is a pretty typical example from the article of the sort of important sounding but ultimately bogus argument presented in such articles:

>So, for example, it recently turned out to be possible for eavesdroppers to decrypt messages without a key, simply by tampering with encrypted messages.

By failing to actually specify the actual attack the writer hopes to prevent a rebuttal. I am pretty sure they are talking about EFAIL. EFAIL was itself a weird slander of the idea of encrypted email but ultimately did not show any weakness of either PGP or S/MIME. It was instead a cautionary tale about the use of HTML for email.

The article attempts to promote Signal as superior to PGP email. That is unlikely as Signal initially trusts the phone system for identity. It is also quite a lot more complex than PGP so the odds of an exploit are not in Signal's favour.
I wouldn't assume your individual risk profile is equal to the average death rate, which is somewhere around 1 in 1000 to 1 in 2500. It's not a random occurrence when you die from the flu. Certain people have a higher risk profile depending on health, age, and immune system dynamics.

No, because rectifiers are cheap commodity items, and you can wire all the LED lights in a house on a single 15A circuit and #14 wire (~1400 watts). You can also put ~140 32w 2’x4’ LED fixtures on a 277v 20A circuit using #12 wire. It’s cheaper and easier to convert at the fixture or lamp and just use standard wire for everything.

If there was anything to be gained from doing it that way, it would already be done in commercial build outs.

Don’t despair, there are workarounds for this. See the many answers to https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/137047/21473 ‘Don't want iBooks to always paste the “Excerpt From” of what I have copied’.

I recommend the solution in https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/382603/21473 (which is an improved variant of stassats’s solution in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22355322). The method is to use Automator to set up a Quick Action that copies the text while bypassing the clipboard-modifying behavior of Books. Then you configure a keyboard shortcut of ⌘C for the Quick Action, only in the Books app, so you don’t have to change the way you copy.

It's nice as a research part. But more people die because of human error and drunk drivers every day.

I have yet to see someone die because of the illegal and "labor intensive" situation they created in this "research".

I can respond that back, but then with problems that are factual ( drinking and driving). Not fictional or harder to execute do it in practice ( this research)
You don't have to give up public images. Here's a simple example rule - production images should all be built on Ubuntu:18.04. (With a large enough maintenance team this can change to - you must use one of these 8 images with the standard runtime stacks preconfigured).

Teams still have the flexibility of using whatever they want during the build stage, and it takes away the ambiguity of them having to decide between different OS flavors, versions, slim/Alpine, building from scratch or whatever else. In 99% of cases there will be no functional difference between them anyways, and this rule reduces the overhead of having to track down and manage an infinite number of permutations from an operations side.
Will do, I had not thought of that.
The reason we should encourage new private educational models beyond publicly funded research / execution is for the same reason we do for almost everything else in the economy: the gov't and private sector have different incentive structures / possible funding modes that allow for different kinds of programs to be developed / run, sometimes both can work.

I don't see how student failure risk is higher than a 4 year degree or vocational school (i.e. the null hypothesis) - either way has time / foregone wages you spend without knowing you're going to get it back. Lambda's programs are actually less risky than a 4 year agree on a time/wage basis, and we have to see how they are on an $ ROI basis (i.e. how long is payback on the degree and how much is the net wage increase).

Also, we allow high-risk private sector stuff all the time: aerospace, automotive, medical, etc. all have literal life and death stakes beyond a school that doesn't work out. Regulation should be proportional to the risk involved, and I just don't see it with the Lambda / ISA model.

As far as what Lambda offers, it seems like they're currently the strongest executors from company growth perspective in the ISA/bootcamp space, and we'll have to see how they do on the factors I named above to see if it's effective. Being a trailblazer is high risk / high reward. I welcome their attempt.

Please correct me where you think I'm wrong. (said earnestly)
Nah, I don't want to be that guy. In the meantime I've just locally stubbed all Stripe API calls, since internal integration tests are all I need for non-production uses. I've also reached the point where regular production deployments make sense (or at least the payments logic is stable enough).
What is meant by "free" revenue? I'm wondering how the one leads to the other.

Does this mean, lower processing fee/less need to increase processing fees?
Does this keeping of fee also apply to voided non-captured payments?

When PayPal pulled this change (yes, imo this is a scummy thing to do to merchants), I changed my PayPal flow only to authorize prior to doing the charge so that this refund fee could be avoided.

You're right I never stated my requirements anywhere. Ideally I would want something that:

- works (with push notifs and instant delivery and file transfer)

- is secure (ideally E2EE that's established and maintained, if I control the server just TLS might suffice although it's probably still safer to push trust to the edge)

- is Free/Open Source all the way through

- is self-hostable in a managable way (I have some but not a lot of knowledge in running and administering services and I'd rather not shoot myself in the foot with something extremely complicated.) Bonus points if there's service offerings I can fall back to.

- isn't bound to phones or phone numbers

SMS doesn't fulfill these requirements, I simply use it because it's the "universe default" in terms of instant messaging. And I assume telcoms are so regulated that they technically could but legally aren't allowed to spy on me. For that I had a glance at my national telcom laws and while I'm not a lawyer it certainly sounded like they aren't allowed to spy on me unless I'm already in legal trouble.

Reminds me when my Charter/Spectrum told me that even though I cancelled my service 2 days into the billing period, that I paid for a fixed term of service per billing period and they would not give me a prorated refund.

Oh okay. Sure. That makes it all okay. /s
TL;DR: "Encrypted email is not safe according to my security model, therefore is not safe according to nobody's".

I am not buying it. Warning about risks is ok, pretending everybody else is like you is not.
> It was instead a cautionary tale about the use of HTML for email.

Indeed, which makes it ironic that ProtonMail (a webmail provider) was not affected by the vulnerability:

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know that.

Good to know that the owners are "pretty cool and nice" but that is orthogonal to the point.

> They also have an option to destroy all the data they have on you.

Unless open source, the users never know if the data is destroyed or not. Furthermore, it is impossible for the users to verify the checksum of software running on the server side. Therefore on-premise install could be a nice solution.
Is there a Stripe permalink (blog, tweet, etc.) from back in 2017 that describes this change back when it was announced? And/or for this year’s change, that drops the exclusion?
Wow, Stripe is the best developer experience? When I integrated a few months ago their documentation was so confusing I ended up giving up and not using it at all, relying on using a library for laborious guess and check, and watching the JSON responses. I suspect my product can still be purchased for free if you use that EU security feature because nothing could help me figure out when I need to use it or how to do so, so it just looks like the payment succeeded. So much documentation recommends you use a totally different system I felt like I was caught in a loop.
Looks like we killed their SoundCloud API access with too many requests.
Huh. I did, and thought it was atrocious. Its only benefit at the time was live re-routing: the competition at the time, short of buying an actual GPS, was printing out directions from mapquest and hoping you don’t make a wrong turn.

I recall a few times driving out of state where I’d miss an exit, be unable to figure out my way to where I needed, pull over at a phone booth or public business, and start calling to see who was home and could run mapquest for me to get me back on the road. Don’t miss that.
I don't quite understand this comment. In my experience, payment processors (and related services) are somewhat unique in providing test gateways & APIs. Unlike other API services you can write integration tests against their test gateways. What are part of our industries is that normal? Most API-first services don't provide test endpoints at all.
My guess would be people don’t see the virus as something threatening to the businesses long term, but rather as a temporary inconvenience.

How does this support Bloomberg's political aspirations? Not at all? Purely coincidental?

I don't know how seriously to take this methane issue and I'm sure I can't find out from reading in the same section of bloomberg's propaganda (bloomberg news announced this themselves, remember), a section that had a list of billionaires who made their money saving the planet from global warming including Pratt and his inherited packaging company because they claim some recycling tax credits & subsidies as though landfill were not extremely remote from global warming.

So where do we go to get the news on it all where it isn't redolent with ideology and/or extreme self-interest? Genuine question.
There are multiple little things that make me feel less trusting of stripe and that it’s shifting away to be more profit focused instead of customer oriented. One change that was unannounced (to my knowledge — maybe I missed something) was the payout schedule. It’s still two days technically, but at some point last year they started delaying the payout in their end if it was a weekend or holiday.

It used to be like this: income from Thursday, Friday and Saturday all arrived Monday, so Monday was a big payout day and this was good since it was often a higher expense day as well due to weekend charges being delayed to Monday.

Now, Thursday‘s sales arrive Monday (same), Friday’s Tuesday (a day later), and Saturday’s arrive on Wednesday (two days later), and any holidays further delay it.

This could be ok, but the unexpected change from what I had come to expect, and noting that it seems to be intentional design change on their end make it feel like they’re trying to delay the payout schedule while still claiming the same rolling 2-day, and in the end not really putting the customer first.
> Child porn both directly victimizes a real person (and specific one at that), and can't really be considered a political ideology.

Artificial child porn (using drawings or CGI) are also banned from those platforms.

And there absolutely is an ideological undercurrent to a lot of it -- the argument that age-of-consent laws are oppressing people. I've even seen that argument on HN.
> Stripe are doing their best to avoid passing it on. This is one place where it surely became egregious not to.

According to the rest of the discussion on this page, Visa and other payment networks refund the interchange fee to payment processors (including Stripe) on refunded transactions.

There is no evidence that Stripe is any more charitable to their users than other payment processors. Stripe offers a commodity service, and increased the cost of using their service. Perhaps Stripe is "doing their best", but their competitors (e.g. Square and Amazon Pay) are doing even better by refunding the processing fee for refunded transactions.
You can put each query and the result of preparing that query into an LRU cache (or even just a static pointer in C if your application only ever deals with a single connection). Then you can reuse these without preparing them over and over.
No, it's not. The 1 here is using interpretive index register X1 to index onto GAINBRAK. The star on the DMP means that multiplication is indexed. GAINBRAK is one of the pad-loaded descent targeting parameters; the index selects the appropriate number based on the phase of the descent.
We're actually working on speeding up payouts, for free. They're currently faster than they've ever been and will continue to get faster.
This is a golden example of where in person beats online. It's so much easier to weed out the people who will not show up when you do things in person (and there are plenty of those in College).

Why don't you think schools can scale? You need instructional material and the equivalent of professors/lecturers and TAs. Instructional material scales really well; that's what textbooks and MOOCs are. Professors scale well; otherwise 100 plus lectures wouldn't work at all. They obviously do. Intro classes in the huge majority of US universities are in the 100-600 range. I wouldn't be surprised if there are bigger. So the only possible limiting factor that might not scale is TAs. You can render this irrelevant by having high enough standards for entry, like GA Tech's OMSCS, or you can work on scaling it.

There are definitely people who can do a challenging Master's degree with minimal help and feedback, just books, marked essay assignments and a final written exam. This is a model that's as old as the University of London. TAs and structure will increase the proportion of those who start who actually finish.

What about running a school obviously doesn't scale?
