Yeah if they allow customers to buy Points now at a discount they can make a killing. But otherwise at this stage it won’t make a dent
I had no such confusion, neither I required any guidance. I simply used it for my needs which it fit perfectly well (while it lasted). I know many other people who felt the same.

FWIW, I take the "Casino might have a point and certainly it's their right to pursue the issue in court" position and I agree with both of mod's comments - it's the courts' job to rule against the casino in cases like this.
This is, even for the New Yorker, quite the pretentious piece. Starting with author writing from his retreat in his "country place", over the disdain for virtual museum tours (complete with scare quotes), to the idea that somehow, this art just carries more heft.

Because - ludicrous explanation abounds - somehow Goya saw more of the "scourges of war". I'd love to see the author's take on "Guernica". Or any of the large number of pieces that were shaped by the trauma of WW1 (modernism), Spanish Flu (e.g. Munch), and so on.

It is the piece of somebody who loves art not for art's sake, but who loves art because knowing it confers status. And so, of course, clings to the idea that there is some kind of "best art" - and for many of those deeply conservative art observers, that's the Old Masters. Because, of course, old things are good, mastery is good, naturalistic is good (because it doesn't require engaging too deeply with the thought process)

There's no better thing to describe that stuck mindset than the author's "Everything in them will be other than what we remember."

No, it won't. The art will be just the same. How we engage might have changed. But the idea that we as humans change is deeply scary to the author's kind of mindset, and so he'd rather focus on the immutability of the greatness of the old masters.
this featureset sounds like exactly what i need. thank you for sharing it!
What Should You Look for When Choosing Magento Hosting?
My question stands.
Prolog look like it would be the correct tool for the job for a certain class of problems, I wish I had time to learn it. I always wonder why it doesn't get more attention.
I only first encountered it a year or two ago. It's pretty difficult to keep up with management/marketing buzzwords.

In any case, anyone at the 'C' level almost by definition knows little or nothing about actual computer security.

> If the populists didn't turn out enough to give Sanders the primaries, they're not going to turn out enough to give him the general election.

I think that is an assumption because when you are down to 2 candidates only things change, all the Biden supporters (and others that already dropped) probably wont stay home and not vote. But who knows?

>I think that, outside of his own base, it was pretty clear to voters that Sanders was making promises that he'd never be able to get past Congress. They likely wouldn't have voted for Sanders in the general election

If the Senate goes blue after this election who knows. He was making large promises (they all do, where is our wall that Mexico is paying for as an example), but I think overall people now realize affordable healthcare is a bigger deal than people realize. I am curious what will happen if medical bills for COVID start getting mailed out prior to election day. 40k for treatment will break a lot of individuals and family's.

I'm not on one side of the fence or the other. I think they all have good and bad things about them and think none of the candidates are good for the country in the long run. My original post was merely to say I do not believe Biden beats Trump.

That example has absolutely nothing to do with Sec 230. Google’s ad design is all on Google. If it were illegal, Sec 230 wouldn’t protect them. And while Google might be protected against liability for Mapquest’s business practices, Mapquest isn’t. If their behavior is harmful and illegal, they are liable.

Hangouts is an example of a failure: Google had a huge hit with Talk/Hangouts and for a while it was THE leading chat app. ...And then they mostly abandoned it, told everyone to use one of a half dozen different replacements which all failed as people moved onto other things. Had they continued to modernize and prioritize Hangouts, all of the newer chat startups would never have even existed. It "won" the early chat app fight and basically heralded the death of AIM, YIM, and MSN messenger, only to be murdered in-house by Google's own product teams.

Google Photos I think is reasonably successful, but mostly as "where your Android's photos end up". I am not sure how many people have a strong relationship with Google Photos. And I still hear about people upset about Google killing Picasa in favor of it. It is worth nothing that Picasa, the foundation of Photos, was not something Google developed, but something Google acquired from outside.

Hmmmm, what else changed in that period... I can't think of anything. Other than airbnb's drying up, my life is about the same as it was a few months ago. There are so many things that have changed in that period, it's nearly impossible to make a strong argument that any one change caused any one other change. In stats speak, the exclusion restriction you'd usually require for this kind of statement is not valid here.

If you want unity, you need to vote for candidates that only pursue policies that an overwhelming majority of Americans agree with.

Right now however Americans are mostly voting for candidates that pursue policies that half of Americans will agree strongly with and half will disagree strongly with.

Moving the locus of policy making away from Washington DC and towards state legislatures would be a good thing since the policies would largely impact populations where the overwhelming majority agrees with the policies.
Same. The only JS I have to write anymore is for some customization on top of a CRM platform we use. For that I've decided to go with Bridge.NET. They've build .NET libraries based on typings so it has support for almost everything.

The resulting JS is FAT, don't get me wrong, but since this is for internal use and it's heavily cached, I don't mind having our users download a 3MB JS file.

So many restaurants around here have gone card only. Not having to deal with cash is worth the 2% for a lot of businesses.
$30 seems a bit steep for the upgrade in features. If I was signing up, the basic feature set in free seems like it would be sufficient for my needs, especially since I'm already a Zoom subscriber. Lowering the price and shifting the feature parity might do something.

But, that said. I'm not the target audience for it, and going to the current users and talking to them or figuring out why they signed up and what would sweeten the deal for them is probably the best method forward. There might be a bit of a pivot that would make paying worth it for them.

It was banned as in it can no longer be installed on corp laptops.
You can have a free lunch. Economics is not a zero sum game. If more people are willing to purchase your goods because of the fraud protection, ease of use, or rewards, it is better than only accepting cash for business, and better for consumers.
> Section 230 is a failure because Section 230 removes any financial incentive for platforms to moderate responsibility.

What in the world does "moderate responsibility" mean? It's their site, they get to decide what goes on it as long as it's legal. If it's not legal, it has to be removed anyway!

> If I report harmful content on Twitter or Facebook or Google, we need a system that ensures I receive a non-automated, competent response, and that the company is legally responsible for the decision they just made, such that they can't pawn it off on an algorithm or someone making 5 cents an hour.

Yeah okay, fight for that then. This legislation isn't that.
TS errors are my only real complaint about TS.

Heres a more detailed etymology for husband

husband (n.)
Old English husbonda "male head of a household, master of a house, householder," probably from Old Norse husbondi "master of the house," literally "house-dweller," from hus "house" (see house (n.)) + bondi "householder, dweller, freeholder, peasant," from buandi, present participle of bua "to dwell" (from PIE root bheue- "to be, exist, grow," and compare bond (adj.)). Beginning late 13c. it replaced Old English wer as "married man (in relation to his wife)" and became the companion word of wife, a sad loss for English poetry. Slang shortening hubby first attested 1680s.

The GDPR does not explicitly account for scale in practice, but pretends you're a $300 million dollar business, with the resources to do proper GDPR compliance, which is why the response of many small businesses is to stop serving europeans.

This is still a standard in a couple of blogs that I follow, when different bloggers have back and forths.

MapQuest did nothing wrong in this example. The problem is the fake sites that are taking the top spot in search results above the legitimate MapQuest link when you search Google for MapQuest, and Google refuses to delist them. And of course, Google lets people buy ads for other companies' trademarks, which is a whole different ball of issues.

(MapQuest is a popular one for malicious sites to pretend to be because most of the people searching for it are seniors... they heard about it twenty years ago and then never moved on from searching for it when they want directions somewhere.)
Not all consumers lose equally, however. The ones that lose the most are those that are poor or have bad credit, who effectively subsidize the rewards that rich people are able to collect. It is a regressive tax.

The night sky is big. These boundaries just help define an area of the sky that is easily communicated between other people. They help define physical locations. It's like discussing New York City, but then breaking that down into the boroughs Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Bronx. It just makes discussing a large area much more manageable. With constellation boundaries, you not only describe a physcial location in the sky, but potentially also a time of year (even night) as certain parts of the sky are only visible at certain times.

Fuck WHO
I think a lot of folks seem to assume that dealing with cash is free, which it isn't of course. The biggest win probably comes if you can dispense with cash entirely though that isn't always possible for various reasons. (It's actually illegal for restaurants not to take cash in some US jurisdictions.)
I love this interview it’s typical of Feynman; what do you mean by how magnet works is a fair question but it’s also a multi form one. We don’t really know we just know up to a certain level he had a lecture about how Mayans predicted astronomical events with beans, were the bean the answer to why?. I’ve learned a lot from this interview on how to look at science. Why is indeed a profound concept
Well, consumers don't really lose as long as they have a rewards card right? Whether it's 2.5% fee with 2% rewards, or 0.5% fee with 0% rewards, it's the same to me in the end as long as I'm paying with my card.

With an exception: for all your expenses that get reimbursed for work. If you're putting flights and hotels on your personal rewards card, then it adds up to a very nice little bonus at the end of the month. (But this is also why at some companies, you're required to use a corporate card if your expenses start going above a certain limit -- the company wants the rewards.)

Just like frequent flyer miles, it's an odd little tax-free trick that transfers a little bit more of your employer's money to you. And since people generally identify more with employees than with companies... nobody's really looking to change it.

Really the only real loser here is people who pay cash. It used to be that credit card companies prohibited stores from charging more for using a card (or less with cash). BUT... that was made illegal a number of years ago in many states, and you can now get a 3-5% cash discount at a lot of places, though not everywhere.

I personally feel much safer using a card -- I hate carrying cash, the risk of losing it, not hygienic, etc. -- but I totally understand some people prefer it, or very disadvantaged people don't have access to cards.
> Porting to a typed language helped prevent type errors in a typeless language. Who woulda thunk?

You say this sarcastically, but every JS-related thread on HN turns into a flamewar between type lovers and haters.

The type haters make exactly the argument you're mocking: that typeless languages do not result in more type errors. Their reasoning is along the lines of, "I don't need a type system because I'm a professional and don't make mistakes."

That sounds laughable or like an exaggeration, but it's a surprisingly common line of thinking. The buggiest code I ever worked on was a PHP code base written by someone who had been coding for 20 years and had a Master's in CS. Before I inherited the code, he told me, "I code in the terminal. I don't need IDE features because I don't really make mistakes in PHP anymore."

Again, seems satirical, but not uncommon.

Marx never witnessed a fully-automated factory in operation. He'd poop out 26 pallets of perfectly-stacked, completely-uniform dry-stack quake-resistant mortarless bricks onto the trailer of an all-electric self-driving truck, and his jaw would have to be picked up off the ground by a robot arm executing an optimized gape-stopping program.

They're pushing for communism, because it is increasingly apparent that they have been screwed by the existing system from a moment dating to some time before their parents were born, and they'd prefer not to be. Since no other system has been publicized such that it has given them some hope of not being screwed, they are increasingly choosing the option of being slightly less screwed personally at the cost of the whole economy being more screwed.

It's just the Nash equilibrium. Once the voting leverage for screwed people passes a tipping point, their choices will become reality, and everyone who might prefer some other option will have no better chance of a President of the United States trying to get a Supreme Court justice appointed within the last two years of their term, when a unified voting bloc controls Congress.
What do you use when duo/hangouts/meet is down?
I think a programmer might well do a better job than a lawyer.

Some years ago, Mozilla decided to relaunch their browser under the name "Firebird". That was a poor choice of name, because there was already a free-software database using it.

There was a kerfuffle about it for some time before Mozilla switched to the (much better) name "Firefox".

During that period, the Mozilla lawyer running the show (one Mitchell Baker) was insistent that there was no reason to change because their legal advice was that they weren't infringing on any trademarks.

A programmer might have realised earlier that trademark law isn't the only relevant consideration in a situation like this (consider, for example, what `apt-get install firebird` is going to do).
