Businesses invest in product development and marketing to bring a customer to them. The customer is convinced of the value of the thing they want to buy and puts in their credit card number. Sometimes it doesn't work, for example because a poorly understood interaction of systems at their bank decides the charge is likely fraudulent. (Ask me about how a particular US bank has caught 17 of the last 0 times a fraudster in Japan used my credit card to purchase software.)

Some percentage of these customers retry, perhaps with another card, and eventually succeed in buying the thing they want to buy. Some don't, and the business loses the revenue that a customer was already happy to give them.

Improving authorization rates (the industry jargon for that) recovers that revenue, for ~free (your product/advertising/etc spend to attract the customer is the same whether they successfully complete the purchase or not).

I’ve had great luck with Hyperikon bulbs. I consider them a premium brand, due to simultaneously delivering high CRI and lumens per watt. Zero failures out of at least ten (over 2-4 years, bought in three batches).

Your math assumes the EPA range for taycan which has been demonstrated by a number of sources to not be a very accurate representation of Taycan real range. While the EPA range for many EVs has proven pretty accurate, for Taycan the methodology just doesn't fit.

Taycan will peak charge at 270 kW. Tesla Model 3 on a V3 supercharger peak at 250 kW. They are pretty close.
For publicly-accessible infrastructure:

4-6 instances of pdns authoritative for a domain, and pdns recursor running locally for each box. And Cloudflare free tier while revenue can't justify rolling-out Varnish and other locally-deployed capacity/DDoS mitigations.

It may also be a better idea to push DNS updates via configuration management or driven from something like Envoy so there's a history and a single-source-of-truth (SSOT) to point-to rather than multiple people doing manual tinkering, which is a labor-intensive, antiquated approach.
> it's mostly not working...: the money is spend and happily pocketed by the target audience, who then find ways to do the other economically profitable thing as well.

err... isn't that the intended outcome?

The money is getting to who we wanted it to get to and it's not stopping them running their businesses and creating value. That's all good isn't it? We'd love to be able to pay people in the Amazon to protect the forests and still develop themselves economically.

Custom rules are the useful ones! The cost of Radar is a huge gripe of mine as well, we have lost thousands to a single fraudster that would have been easy to block with simple rules... The loss was less then the cost of Radar though. ;(

Otherwise, the API can be a bit confusing, but I've learned to just be very careful when I read the docs and to read them throughly.
I've never had it happen and it shouldn't be a problem for occasional spot checks. Make sure everything in dev/staging environments is working first before doing a production run.

That's a red herring. Once he receives the money from the tax break (the reward) in exchange for buying a house (the incentivized activity), what he does with that money is completely irrelevant, unless it somehow involves reducing home ownership.

Lambda grad with a job, who also worked as a PM/TL.

Overall I think they're trying.

The problem with the PM/TL program is the people who are normally the best at it tend to be the best at finding jobs. The TLs that stick around forever tend to be ones that aren't the best or the worst who are normally replaced when someone complains. Instead it's the okay people who are just cruising.

One thing that seems to be overlooked about Lambda is the fact that they are remote. An applicant from the middle of nowhere who lives hours from the nearest city has as much chance of getting in as anyone. It can be harder to find a job there and they won't relocate. Remote work is much harder to get in as a junior dev.

Overall though, I wouldn't be in the position I'm currently in without them though. Maybe I just made it in before the line, maybe they're just undergoing growing pains as expand to a profitable size.

Do they use Signal of their own accord, or because you asked them to and they were receptive to using it? Do they use it when talking to other people that aren't you?
This is not true at all.

There are plenty of self-studied developers who have full-time jobs on HN. I've met a vast number of devs in real life who didn't go to college. It's not incredibly rare. It costs almost nothing but time to self-study and build a portfolio.

The other option would be go thru university. And there are many universities that offer a BS in CS for a reasonable price such as University of Florida. You can apply for a FAFSA, and depending on your financial needs, you could get it all paid for in grants. It will likely take 3 years but you get a legit degree by an accredited University, not some University of Phoenix equivalent scam. Some of these online BSCS students even get accepted to reputable PhD programs, good luck doing that from Lambda School because it's not happening.

TIL my Westpac password is case insensitive. Today wasn't a good day.
In college in an OS course about 20 years ago, we tried fork-bomb on HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Linux and MINIX (2.0)(they have FreeBSD now). On some OSes, it created a boat-load of zombie processes.

Another one was the malloc() bomb (sometimes combining with the fork-bomb to be the malloc-fork-bomb(). On some modern OSes, you have to actually initialize memory to something other than zeroes and keep a pointer to them to prevent aggressive compression and heap compaction.

But the lingo/jargon of the identity world felt like a bit of a brick wall when trying to work out how things work. There's still a bunch of stuff I really am quite fuzzy on. There's a bit of massaging in the middleware that I need to do to get things to work nicely. But at least having ID4 as a isolation layer helps. Was very tedious.

Ok, today we have shells like bash that can help you navigate around a file system, find files, run files, search files, view files etc. Common tools are grep, less, cat, "|", awk, sed, perl, tr, wc, find, etc. The <cr> is a poor mans record seperator.

Experienced people can often do non-trivial things in shell by combining a tools, regular expressions, and manually filtering out false positives. I.e. using grep foo | grep bar for that one email you are looking for.

But as a result things that need more structure require significant coding and create a sandbox that doesn't work well with other systems. Like say thunderbird (an email client).

Now imagine something different that has some higher level of abstraction. Maybe every file gets by default a list of functions to help the OS understand it. How about dump (raw byte encoding), list, add, view, delete, and search. Each file type supported by the OS would get those features, one of those might be jpeg. So of you created an address book, you'd define a record type called person, and a list of fields. One of those fields might even be a JPEG for a image of the person. In a GUI (like thunderbird) you'd just wrap a function called addressbook.insert much like just about every GUI platform has a file picker.

Ideally every application on this OS would make use of these function calls so every app that needed an addressbook could share the OS calls to interact with the addressbook. But also instead of being frustrated at thunderbird you could use your addressbook for new and different things. Like say a map viewer might put icons up for every home address in your addressbook. Or you could query you addressbook for the home address nearest you... from the command line.

Ideally this files are actually objects that include data and code. Said code could inherit based on primitives from the OS like records and fields. That would enable things like extending the addressbook to handle a new field like your keybase ID, PGP key, 3D representation of your face or whatever.

Similarly any image viewer, or even a pipeline using standard image tools could iterate over all your JPEGs and extract geo tags.

The object aware "find" replacement could access records/fields for all file types so you could find photos within a distance of a long/lat.

By combining the above with a relational database instead of a filesystem you could mix and match and create virtual folders for things like the top 1000 newest images on your "filesystem". Suddenly replacements awk, sed, wc, less, etc would understand email message metadata.

Or make a directory that contains the newest email messages you haven't replied to. Running ls --fields=From,To,Date,subject would give you a summary of email in a folder.

The code replication for understanding a file format, serialization, communication, etc would be greatly reduced and moved largely from the application space to the OS space and result in significantly increased compatibility between applications. Imagine instead of a zillion files under ~/.thunderbird that instead it was all in a database compatible with any email client that's supporting the new record/field standard.

The problem with arguments by security experts is that they ignore the reality of ergonomics and convenience. If you're in security and you ignore these, you're being naive and likely making dangerous recommendations.

Why do I make this claim? Because if you were realistic, you'd acknowledge that people will inevitably choose the easy route over the secure route. The path to genuine improvements to common place security has to include a focus on methods that are ergonomic and convenient.

Just look at the outdated password complexity rules as a perfect example of this. Sure, in some ideal world where everyone did the hard thing this would be secure. In reality these rules just drove people to write their passwords down on sticky notes under their keyboard.

Signal in the current form is not and will never be a replacement for email due to UX. It's a great messaging platform, but it doesn't solve the use cases that email does.

Thanks for replying on this thread, PC. I'm curious to get your take on how this plays out for customers with large average transaction values ($500+)?

Stripe's cost to process and refund a payment, while not zero, is generally flat (card networks refund interchange fees, Stripe only has to cover the minimal cost of running the software to process the transaction, which is the same for all transaction sizes). Shouldn't the retained fees be flat and not a percentage?

This is incorrect. "In the EU" refers to the physical location, not your citizenship.

Otherwise there would be no way to know who you are without having your data in the first place which means the law is a catch 22. The only working interpretation is based on physical location.
