From the user's perspective:

A few (maybe 5 or 6?) years back I suddenly stopped being able to add or withdraw money through PayPal, with a completely vague description. Multiple hours on support documents and attempting to contact support (which is a problem in itself) and the problem was not resolved. I wasn't that invested in buying what I was trying to buy, so I eventually gave up. I've tried again a few times over the years, with no success.

When I see PayPal on a site nowadays and either no other options or I don't trust them to process the card themselves, I just leave. If this is the sort of effect that could harm your business it may be worth it to pay for a payment processor that works for all your users.

I also have a $0.49 balance in PayPal which I can't withdraw. I don't care, but if it were a larger amount I probably would.
Meanwhile the Nasdaq is roaring back from a bottom...Someone is making a lot of money on the crash and the government printing press. It ain't me.
iOS has made steps towards this by learning your charging habits (e.g at night), going to 80%, and wait to the last minute before topping up.
There are probably 170 different versions of public systems. I think you're making the mistake of assuming they all operate the same way.

In both public systems I've been a part of, yes there is a hospital budget, but it's paid out through procedures. Don't have anyone in the hospital? No payment.
this is a ridiculous position. nothing substantive in the thread aside from "it's semi-possible to hack up a horrible subset of sql into some sort of api query language" -- with absolutely no reason why you'd want to do this ... (aside from maybe "familiarity" as an implicit reason)

if you want to directly expose your database -- you can use an abstraction that publishes a graphql api from your database schema. this is also suboptimal for a lot of reasons but it's very much a viable way to achieve the "same thing" as exposing a client side "sql as query language" interface would ...
REST is a great delivery system but it's not a query language.
If you really think that's genius, might I introduce you to socialism? Same idea but applied more broadly than to just the early employees at startups!
Yes, many electric cars have a buffer. Not all Tesla though. That's why it's not recommended to charge a Tesla to 100% everyday while it's fine with many other brands.

But Tesla did sell a few cars with different battery capacities and exactly the same hardware. If you got the smaller capacity then you got a buffer. Tesla could unlock the buffer remotely, if you give them more money or if you need to evacuate before an incoming hurricane or similar.
> They're positioned as a percentage of the parent element.

Why annotate percentages instead of elements? When you go to add an annotation, it should highlight the element like chrome dev tools ("select an element in the page to inspect it"), and then add the annotation to the ::before selector of the selected element. Then you'd have real DOM annotation software.

EDIT: and you don't have to get rid of the code you have. you should still position the tater wherever the mouse is clicked, but insert the tater at the deepest DOM level so that it moves where the elements move.

EDIT 2: you won't be able to use position: absolute; to position the elements. You'll have to calculate the position by subtracting the element offset from the position of the mouse at the time of click. It will be sort of tricky to position the annotations properly, but it's definitely doable.

EDIT 3: you probably want a relatively positioned container around each annotation, and then use position: absolute; inside of that. The position of the annotation will be "absolutely" positioned relative to the container, and then you can just use arithmetic to set the `left` and `top` styles.

EDIT 4: the annotations will interfere with CSS's "nth-child" and similar selectors. I think there's a way you can leverage the shadow dom to keep the annotations separate from the user's markup: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components/...

EDIT 5: rendering annotations this way opens the door for all sorts of quick-win features, like highlighting or listing all the elements that have been annotated and saving/sharing this as a file.

EDIT 6: this should really just be a script you include in <head />, for the testing environment only. it's poor design to mix view logic with testing/feedback.
No, just the clip that Lou showed at the talk.
Isn’t there an RF communication widget in iPhone11 too, that sounds really promising for positioning and whatnot, but still isn’t used or marketed?
Germany lucked out to have such a background of experience as Merkel's to lead the country during such a crisis.

Science doesn't come easily to most leaders, unfortunately, as this crisis is proving around the world.
>One of the current concerns is how rapidly climate is changing.

Isn't there also concerns about methane in permafrost also amplifying the warming? Wouldn't that dispel the notion that it hasn't changed this rapidly before?
Searching for things related to Phoenix is a constant problem. Even Phoenix Elixir will sometimes give you results for random bars in Arizona.
8246 mAh after 34 cycles on my 16" 2019 MBP. That's a lot worse than I expected.

What's the best way to slow battery degradation if I use it for 8-10 hours daily for work? Run MBP from an outlet and do full discharges once a week? Run MBP from the battery and recharge the battery when it depletes? Run MBP from the battery, but charge it only to 80%?
Sum types and newtypes behind smart constructors are better ways of accomplishing what you'd usually use union types for, I think?
Some countries require ID/passport to just get a phone number. This could potentially be sidestepped by getting a Twilio number or Google Voice number, but that causes it to be far from frictionless.

I never knew grindr did that, that's awesome.
We still don't know anything certain about the latent period of this virus. We also don't know if it remains dormant after an immune response, though it is not retroviral like HIV.

Still, this 80% asymptomatic condition could lull us into a false sense of security, meanwhile there may be other peaks in the average latent period distribution. In other words it may be that some people are asymptomatic for weeks, months, years...Before flaring up and spreading.
It's one of the inherent challenges of a democracy. When everybody has a chance at participating and making riches through hard work, people hyper-value achievenent and wealth. Contrast this with a feudal society, where the landed gentry and the serfs are less focused on wealth - because things are settled and people are more or less content.

Top performers in democracies can be resented because their achievement creates envy and shame within those that had that same opportunity, but have either squandered it through laziness or have been unlucky. Also, because members of a democracy share a common value of equality, signs of exceptionalism can often be perceived by the majority as discordant - especially if the individual shows no humility and deferrence to the majority.

These are not my ideas - but what the French philosopher de Tocqueville found when he travelled to the US in the early 1830's to study democracy - which he wrote about in 'Democracy in America'
This is more like if you married the first person who agreed to go out with you on tinder.

Which is probably a petty lousy idea.

I don't see how starting a company with a stranger is going to have better results. There will always be exceptions, but it seems like a bad idea.
While interesting, it would’ve been great if they had a simple test no signup instance to evaluate responsiveness.
Hi dannyw,
I'm a PM on the team that works on acceptance rates and fraud at Stripe. Would you be open to chatting more about your experience? I'd really appreciate it so that we could look into this and improve it. My email is: kathy@stripe.com
This x100. We’re based in the UK but most of our customers are in the US so we bill in USD.

The most annoying thing is that US customers pay additional fees because we’re based in the UK, and our UK customers pay extra fees because we’re billing in dollars.

Stripe customer support very responsive, but they’ve told us the only way to fix it is to open a bank account in the US - which would mean we pay tax in the UK and US. We tried opening a USD bank account in the UK, but Stripe told us after we’d done it that they couldn’t send money to it. Maddening problem with an otherwise brilliant service.
Agreed it could be confusing without some sort of prompt. Or maybe it could be opt-in from the settings just like the iOS “Optimised Battery Charging” toggle.

Wrt all the ports being identical, it’s a bit of an edge case but there are already plenty of MacBook USB-C oddities. Instructions for monitors strictly plugged in on either side springs to mind as an example: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210754
I use a 15" 2018 MacBook Pro with the six-core i9 at work and Turbo Boost Switcher[1] has been my favourite discovery. It lets you disable the turbo boost function of the processor which means the fans never spin up and the battery lasts longer. I pretty much always leave it disabled unless I am going to be transcoding video or compiling something and can't notice a performance hit even with a couple of VMs running.

The only bad thing is that it requires a kernel extension so will stop working when they are deprecated in 10.16. Hopefully Apple introduces a similar feature as there were rumours of a "Pro" mode coming which would ramp up the fans and clock, my hope is they add a complementary "quiet" mode or similar to disable turbo boost.

The exec isn't wrong. You don't turn down free money if it's available, especially if you can use it to help build the business. There are plenty of businesses in /r/smallbusiness or /r/startups talking about doing exactly this.

Now, if they used it to buy a new McLaren or something like that, then, yeah, they're a piece of shit.
If it makes you feel any better I branched off to a XPS 13 2in1 4 months ago in between jobs (where I use the latest mbp) and used the thing for 2-3 months with no MBP as backup.

I absolutely hate it. It throttles constantly even after undervolting it. I had to do a bunch of black magic to get it to sleep properly (which is evidently happening to every Dell) and eventually gave up on that and just set it to hibernate any time the lids closed (it's 32gb so that adds about 30 seconds to the start up time). I've spent more time tweaking this thing, reading forums and reddit about how to make it perform DECENTLY than I did building my last hackintosh and I don't enjoy that experience ever. When you get past all these issues it's still Windows 10 which I just find to be the most annoying OS I've ever used.

Just got my new MBP yesterday and couldn't be more excited to be back on osx. I do really, really wish my MBP was smaller and a 2 in 1, though.
If people don't stay bloody home, this IS going to be a regular thing.

But that social need that some have developed, is what's going to cost those lives and cause that struggle, so how I could be the one not understanding the ramifications, I fail to see entirely.

I'm basically saying "staying at home is nice, and is doing good for my mental health" and the response I get is "People are dying! Don't you understand that!" I don't see the connection. The underlying cause of WHY people has to stay at home is terrible, but the fact that they do have to stay at home, is what I commented on.

I hate that people are dying, I hate that my parents and wife are at risk, I hate that the healthcare systems around the world are breaking down, and I that people can't just stay home so that those I care about can be safe.

Me enjoying the isolation has no bearing on whether the COVID pandemic will continue for shorter or longer, me not hating to be alone and isolated does not change the course whats happening, and even if it did, it would be in a positive way, because I'm not out there, spreading the virus.

What? Should I feel guilty because something terrible is happening, and it just so happens that a side-effect of that is something I like?

Does that somehow imply that I wish the pandemic to continue or people to die?

I don't know what honor has to do with it.
Has anyone seen specs of the Lidar sensor? I'm coming from GIS background (geography) where Lidar scanning is very often used for ground measurements and would like to compare specs with the gear I know. I couldn't find any on Apple's website and those "tech blogs" don't tell much either.
I run a mastodon server on the fediverse (distributed social networking over activitypub). Mastodon and Pleroma support deletes, but say you post something and someone boosts it and one of their followers sees it on a server your server blocks.

You won't see their replies obviously (split thread) but if you delete the message, it gets deleted from your followers, but won't continue on to the server that your server blocks. So a copy will continue to exist.

I just treat the fediverse as a big chatroom/reddit thread that can never be deleted.
You should consider chatting with us @routefusion :)

we will solve all of those nasty FX problems your customers are having. Already doing it for a few other e-comm platforms that link into Stripe.
Deep newspaper job cuts prompt rare plea for federal funding to news media
So, and I may have misunderstood, a company can now get into YC, but might not be invested in by YC?

So its a two tier system. We like you gorgeous, but not enough to sleep with you (sorry, invest in you).

Why not just pick the ones you will sleep with (sorry invest in). Why have the half way signal? If investors don't like investing pro-rata, that's not because they don't like making money - its because they think YC is not picking all winners.

Isn't that the problem? Competition?

Edit: Perhaps I need to understand raising finance better. But, re-reading the announcement as quoted, it still seems there is a two-tier system, and it looks to me that YC will have placed a bullseye on its shirt - if they will only pick 1/3 of companies, then any investor must assume YC has some extra information in the market for lemons - in which case the simple solution is just wait for YC to invest / SAFE / whatever, and invest in that. If a YC company tries to raise a round without a letter from YC, it just won't get anything ... ?

Instead of every investor now either making its own decisions, they just wait for YC to signal its own special knowledge.

I would like to see how many companies close a round without YC from now on?

Although surely a lot of those procedures will just get pushed back until after the pandemic?

Meanwhile there may be costs stemming from complications where the treatment was delayed.
- Test -> stdlib + testify/assert + vektra/mockery

- Dependency injection -> manual DI passing values and objects down

This is great. The UX is awesome. Do you have limits on number of users here?
Going to 4% makes YC much more attractive. At 7% it's really hard to justify, though even at 4% for such a small investment it may be a hard pill to swallow for founders who aren't right out of college.

I would anticipate a low but consistent parade of these discoveries for weeks to months. A lot of old folks are fairly isolated and non-mobile, and when disruptions like this hit they die out of sight.

Same thing happens with heatwaves / cold snaps, and power outages.
But what 100% workload? Is it 100% integer throughput? In which case it'll use a small fraction of the power of a blended integer & float workload. What about AVX-512? Is that considered 100% or beyond 100%? How much RAM is in play? Is it entirely an L1/L2 workload such that memory is never a bottleneck? Or is RAM used and then the CPU isn't really hitting maximum compute throughput? Or is it RAM reads & writes perfectly intermixed with integer & float computations that will always be L1/L2 cache hits, even though literally nothing will ever have that flawless of an execution in terms of power consumption?

With how much of a CPU is dynamically gated & power controlled there is a difference between "maximum theoretical draw" and "maximum a 'real world' 100% load" will hit.
If they are audited and can't show impact by COVID19, then there might be fines. Big ones. I just signed the loan app for my 36 yr old software company which has been hit by a drop-off in sales.
One way lathe ways get worn is if the user uses an abrasive wheel to grind without covering and cleaning the ways.
Probably there’s build up inside the battery simply given its age, and it’s unable to provide a steady power output, which also makes the reading wrong.
Ok fine, I've used the tool called sstrip from a suite called ELFKickers. Now my hello_world.cpp (yes, c++) is 380 bytes long. I could not make it any shorter, so yeah, it is 120 bytes (50%) bigger than yours.
I sometimes check https://www.thelayoff.com/ to see which companies are having layoffs, though much of it is rumors of things which never happen.
Sorry, what's your source? Your link fails to address your assertion at all.

Any website key retention is out of convention rather to ensure data access, and a convention Let's Encrypt is fast upending:

The certificate is valid for 90 days, during which renewal can take place at any time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Encrypt

Key exchange is a component of PKI. You either need to know, or be able to request, a given key to validate it, or transmissions based on it.

TLS (as SSL before it) relies on certificate authorities (CAs), whose keys 1) are distributed to all major browsers and/or operating systems, and 2) which then vouch for website keys. Other mechanisms (e.g., key pinning) are also used. This model has many critics.

PGP (or Gnupg, and alternate implementation) rely, also to various degrees of general criticism, on a web of trust model, in which keys are signed by various other keys, possibly but not necessarily the user's own. Trust is ideally personally verified. It's been observed that this poses scaling issues.

Other PKI models have their own approaches to key trust. S/MIME uses CAs similarly to TLS/SSL, for key authentication, but keys themselves must still be retained, and secured, to assure future data access and integrity. SSH effectively relies on TOFU (trust on first use) or OOB (out of band) key distribution -- both of which effectively punt the process.

TLS, SSL, and SSH are all session-based (data-in-flight) protocols. PGP and S/MIME are storage-oriented, data-at-rest protocols. My initial comments apply to each.

TW is not an ideal solution.

I am biased, but IMHO using a service like Routefusion solves all of these problems. Companies like Elliot use our API's to settle CC transactions that are in different countries. You hook your Stripe account in and then they re-patriate the money to wherever it needs to go.

If you're a Canadian merchant, you can add a USD bank account to avoid the 2% currency conversion fee. This bank account can either be with a Canadian bank, or a US bank.

Source: I work at Stripe, but in addition to that, previously started a Canadian company using Stripe, and like you did mostly payments to US customers in USD. I had deposits directly into both a USD bank account held at a Canadian bank as well as a USD bank account held at a US bank, and did not pay the 2% conversion fee. I actually never received CAD directly at all.

More details: https://stripe.com/docs/payouts

But yes, other than certain exceptions such as this one, getting payouts in non-local currencies on Stripe is limited, and we're working on improving that.

(edit: This assumes you have expenses in USD, or a cheap way to convert USD to CAD, to avoid a ~2% fee from your bank on the conversion. Personally I've used Interactive Brokers which charges 0.002% for USD/CAD conversions.)
You need to do both now: handle it in the US and investigate. The longer you wait to investigate, the harder it will be to determine the truth of the matter.
I believe this is related to follow-on investments from YC after the initial investment
Embedded link is very intersting

“In addition, processing hundreds of follow-on rounds per year has created significant operational complexities for YC that we did not anticipate. Said simply, investing in every round for every YC company requires more capital than we want to raise and manage. We always tell startups to stay small and manage their budgets carefully. In this instance, we failed to follow our own advice.”
```

Is picking winners difficult? Or is it that the economy has a hard cap on how many winners will occur every year?
The difference here is that Freenode is not used so much for informal chat as with other IRC servers. Many free software projects use Freenode as the primary communication method for project coordination, and in this case it is essential to keep logs. Not everyone is online 100% of the time and logs enable everyone to catch up if they've been offline.
Nor is GraphQL..
Well you can write an interpreter or a compiler for a simple language you design.

You can try to make text-based games.

You can make a bare-bones browser.

You can write a simulator for ..say.. classical mechanics.

Are none of these interesting for you?
No there is plenty to worry about still.
I'll send an email later as well, but I just wanted to raise that we are very concerned about our ability to continue integrating with Stripe. We've loved using Stripe for years, but given all of the uncertainty surrounding the tipsi-stripe project and the lack of an official stripe solution for React-Native, we're questioning how wise it is to be dependant on Stripe. I've seen others speaking to your staff on twitter and github about this, so I don't think we're alone.

There must be hundreds (thousands?) of apps using this integration and all of them have been stuck in limbo for many months now. We would like to enable SCA, but the beta version of this project doesn't seem to have documentation beyond a few comments in github issues here and there, and the discord is almost solely populated by people asking how to use the beta and no one can answer them.

I think whichever of the major payment platforms extends a hand out to the React-Native community first, with a confident, well documented official project, will be celebrated and would cement themselves as THE payment platform for people using React-Native.
It's entirely possible that it's 100% naturally occurring or selected for in a lab, and still escaped from the lab.
This is where partnering with a company like Routefusion comes in handy. We would help you repatriate those funds, and move it back to your country of choice at .5% currency exchange :)
