Likewise in Australia. The only difficulty I've found using a debit card in recent years is when renting a car: with a debit card, they generally want to put a "hold" on the account for a few hundred dollars.

I can't get a credit card anyway since my income isn't high enough, and I wouldn't want one because they charge annual fees in Australia.

Banks in Australia run their own payments system, so it's possible to pay by card without going through Visa / Mastercard. Some cards issued by banks don't even have the Visa / Mastercard affiliation, but I think the Visa / Mastercard debit feature is needed it you want to make card-not-present transactions online.

Erg.... he write this and sounds a very stupid lie, but I wish that be true. TikTok is so annoying, having motivation to people use it less is better.
The actually financially literate know how much more buyer protection you get with a CC than with any other form of payment.
If companies weren't allowed to offer predatory lending towards financially illiterate the problem you describe dissolves, this is actually much easier to implement than individual responsibility.
Whatever the data that Social Media companies have on their ad-spends in terms of politics should provide a very healthy data-set. Add in some mailer data for roundness. You should be able to pull the theories out of that with some elbow grease. I'm fairly certain that's what 538 pretty much does right now, what with most sports cancelled.
He didn't state it was the protest. He stated that it's the general direction things are headed in these cities. The protest was merely one example indicating where things are heading.

The fact that a sibling comment is using a derogatory term for people practicing their faith is testament to the increasing intolerance. I'm atheist myself, but many people I know in Seattle and SF have no problem talking about Christians in ways that would never talk about someone who is Jewish or Muslim. Bigotry comes in all flavors, even the bigotry you agree with.

Having lived in the deep South, I find Seattle and San Francisco to be as intolerant as the deep South. These places just differ in who is the recipient of their bigotry.
Sure, so now instead of just having a source control remote, you’re now looking after a publicly accessible box in the cloud with all the security headaches that brings. Plus you’ve got to manage credentials essentially manually, make sure people have the right access permissions to repos, look after backups, etc.

I worked at a company that started out with a setup like this for the dev team. It felt like a massive burden was lifted when we moved to Github Enterprise. We weren’t using the project management features at all, just the source code hosting stuff.
What you describe sounds exactly like most neighborhoods in Boston. Well, not the couple affluent ones (those places suck), but all the others. Really enjoyed my time there.

Seeing that most revenue on the App Store comes from games, I fail to see how Apple would lose money by suPlotting any of these Apis.
It can get way worse than revenues being driven by interchange fees. Banks like Wells Fargo and Capital One operate like a classy pay-day loan company, targeting sub-prime customers who are more likely to not pay on time.

They're likely just answering the question you posed... An explanation for _why_
I wish I could upvote this more. Many folks here fancy themselves as intellectual people, yet they do backflips in logic to justify silencing voices they find repugnant or inconvenient. The concept of free speech simply cannot have exceptions, conditions, or predications. It’s only a marketplace of ideas if the loud or powerful voices aren’t silencing and banning voices that might not be as popular. Indeed, this is how democracy dies.

As a moderator in a smaller technical subreddit myself, I mostly agree with that assessment.

The best subs I've seen usually have small communities and/or strict enforcement of the community rules (doesn't always need to be through moderator action!).

Unmoderated or otherwise weakly managed communities just don't scale. They never retain any quality if you try anyway. The noise will always dominate.

With no way to set expectations that the vast majority of the audience understands (see least common denominator), expectations which they agree with and which you can meet, you'll get endless conflicts.

Strict moderation like in /r/netsec and /r/askhistory works when done well and consistently by competent mods. It preserves good discussions and gives people and incentive to maintain high quality in their submissions since that's a requirement to even be seen in the first place.

Smaller forums with tight healthy communities often don't need much moderation (usually niche communities with no significant controversies), and can often self regulate by typical social means (just telling people to behave).

All the best contributors are usually driven by some kind of intrinsic motivation, often an interest in the topic at hand and a wish to share their knowledge. If the forum is by far too flooded with low quality content for that to be seen, they will lose motivation to contribute, and as a consequence the signal to noise ratio falls. You're more likely to incentivize new competent contributors to join if the contributions from your existing competent contributors are among the most prominent submissions in your forum.

-----

As for centralized vs decentralized, I see decentralization of forums as a form of an escape hatch when the quality of a forum degrades. The ability to cleanly fork a forum and walk away to a new location with new rules, like in software projects, provides a motivation to work hard to maintain unity in the forum, or else the mods will have nothing left to be modded, and likewise for other prominent members whose bad behavior contributes to division.
How many of the 60% are birthright citizens? I imagine many are green card and citizenship winners who stayed on for the convenience.
Without force everything is voluntary, private property doesn't cease to exist as long as people have honor and abide by their word. It seems any reasonable system of people upholding their contracts would eventually result in private property?
Thank you, I think I understand now. I appreciate you taking the time to make me get it.
Lame or not, I'd do it @ 28 & single :p
Without free speech, there would be no LGBT Pride in the first place. They were seen as extremists.

Having free speech but only for people who say mainstream things is equivalent to saying "I like the world as it exists today". That is conservatism by definition.

Uber Offers to Buy Delivery Service Postmates, NYT Reports
I was involved with the development of a system once that was trying to show a required minimum diversity in hiring. Quite by accident, this ended up being an outline person that was filled in more as diversity got better, and both the outline and fill happened to be black. It took a while for this to be noticed, and I think they eventually swapped it out for a small pie chart instead.
The only authentic point I saw in this entire article was the one about the lack of documentation by Apple in implementing this across different platforms.

Everything else applies to logging in with Facebook (or can be dealt with in other ways), which the company has supported for years and is now forced to remove it because of Apple’s restrictions. Without Sign In with Apple, I doubt if they would’ve chosen to remove the Facebook login anytime soon, thus putting more users into privacy hell holes despite making statements like this:

“At AnyList, we respect your privacy.

...

When you provide us with your email address, it is never sold, shared, or used to invade your privacy.”

If the documentation had been good enough, I’m sure they would’ve implemented it and also retained Facebook login for a longer time. Seeing Facebook login being removed gives me some comfort and a sense of “all’s well that ends well”.
What difference does that make? Are you suggesting we start dual-classing US citizens based on how they acquired their citizenships? Citizens are citizens. LPRs are LPRs.

It's especially interesting given the rumblings against birthright citizenship we've been hearing recently too.

What then is someone "rightfully" allowed to be here in your opinion?
> This is an old trope that has been disproven not only in law but also in practice.

Which practice? Boeing? which law? the same one that have a tendency to favor this bad practice?

What about blind trust? People trusted their children to Priests, thinking they deserve trust because "of course they are priests, and priests are inherently good people right?"

People trusted their lives to Boeing entering their airplanes, because "Hey, its Boeing! they care a lot about safety, and you know those Boeing board members, CEO and that top management, and top airplanes experts cares a lot about my safety, i dont even need to bother".

An yet, there was something rot. And for me, its in the design of the whole system. It eventually will lead to another disaster like this, and i bet a lot of us will just point to the direct culprits, as to not spoil the whole game where a lot of people are doing great..

About the security aspect of those, the web have a permission system, have sandboxes, and a lot of security already implemented, that could let to the user to see if the site he is visiting really need what they are asking for. In the end isn't how people install apps anyway? If thoses features are security threats, why apps can use them? But you wont get Apple to discuss in this level, because they know, they wont be able to stand their argumentation, if its showed to them that the same level of security of apps, can also be there in the Web. They wont, because its not in their interest to do so, and it has nothing to do with their users.

Truth to be told, i dont like the trend of the web to become a whole OS... its flawed by design to do this sort of thing. But i expect Apple to be the worst kind of judge to this sort of thing, because they know that theres a tendency to develop for the Web even for phones, because its cheap for companies to follow this path.

They will as long as they can, to make the web platform
appear weak in comparison to their private offerings. Why not? I even expect them to do this, as long as they can get away with it. And as long as Apple has users that believe and trust them, they will get away with it. As you have said, you voted with your wallet, and a lot of people are willing, not aware, or dont care.. they just dont want to bother.

The same security they implement for apps, they can implement for the web, permissions systems, sandboxes and the like.

I've seen the list, and as long as there a permission system, and there's not a security flaw in the browser being exploited, i cant see a reason why not to allow this, except for the most obvious reason, and a lot of other practices from Apple that make obvious that they care more about being in control, otherwise not only its users security, but freedoms would being taking into account.

Less features, more secure, of course.. So they will always be able to get away with this kind of excuse.

But as Microsoft have learned, its not just about the users, but also making the developers happy. In the end is the collective of devs, and all the hours they expend in the platform, that will make the experience in that platform great for the end users.
> If they place them at the 1200km altitude, it's not clear at all why this would be bad, except that some self-declared experts pointed out that the current GPS satellites are at a higher altitude.

The main downside of this is that you typically need more satellites. If I recall, you need a minimum of 4 satellites to get a position, and more is beneficial. With modern atomic clocks and other trappings, that could get expensive.
Using "birthright citizen", comes across a bit weird. You get your point across significantly better with just "citizen".
My mind was in between whinging and kvetching.
No. It's not remotely close. Please think about what you are saying.
I 100% agree, and think that in general shadowbans are a gross idea. But my point is that if you send out info about why you banned someone, then you are explicitly not shadowbanning them, by definition. The whole concept of a shadowban is that it must be opaque to the person being banned; if you change that then you aren't shadowbanning them.

Personally, I think that moderation transparency is a noble goal: I'd be in favor of all forums keeping explicit, public moderation logs with all moderator actions. But then again I have never had to moderate a particularly large forum, so perhaps my opinion would change when forced to deal with the same spammers, day after day.
That was informative; thank you. I’ve been pretty out of touch with the cutting edge for a while.

> I am unsure if this hookless is the same hookless that is from way back in the day. With the way things go in the bike industry (cyclically, no pun intended), I wouldn't be surprised if it were.

I’m sure they’re holding way tighter tolerances in manufacturing now than they were back then at the very least. Probably more on the tire side than the rim side.

You used to have to get matched sets of V-belts for multi-belt applications, table saws being a common one.

Nowadays, people mostly accept that the tolerances are tight enough that you don’t need to do that, at least for the lighter-duty uses.
Regardless of your origin or connection to American history, I think it's healthy and socially responsible to face your "default privilege." The point isn't to feel guilty, but to become fully aware of the social structures underpinning your country, and to develop a sense of empathy for those who are forced to consider their skin color every day of the year when you can go weeks without even thinking about it. (And I say this as a first-generation immigrant.)

In any case, this has little to do with the original topic of establishing a black-focused community.

Password manager doesn't stop you from having to fill in a bunch of stuff. Like yeah, it's only a couple minutes, but if it's for an app you'll use a handful of times in your life, just hitting that G will be much nicer.
Near the entire economy paying a % rent to these couple companies is unfair. Cryptocurrency can remove these middlemen, however, they're missing some important features. 1. Dispute resolution. 2. Recurring billing. When you see how expensive it is to do #1, credit cards start to look like a wonderful deal.

Someone is going to say:
Micropayments (it's never worked.)
Pre-auth'd lower amounts retailers can pull from you (might work.)
Crypto-escrow (Any place that used to do it has gone out of business I beleive.)
Too volatile: (Peer to Peer stable coins, or "trusted" stable coins protected by laws instead of code address this.)

Thus, peer to peer open source value transfer is the minimum amount of middlemen possible, but is crippled by regulatory overhead at the end points, giving the incumbents entrenched advantage. Caveat: I founded a cryptocurrency.
Jenkins the greatest Java app ever written .... hmm
I feel like card competition is actually pretty steep. MasterCard and Visa may have the majority of the market, but there are still Discover and AmEx. I have been using things like NerdWallet to figure out what is the best card to go with, it is usually a healthy balance. I think the main thing is that most Debit cards are Visa or MasterCard...and you are locked in by your bank. Where as credit & charge cards are a free for all.

When it comes to advertising online though, you have only 2 choices...Google or Facebook. As a business I can't not go with those two or I'll lose immense business. I can go with a Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex...and it really has no effect on me outside of the benefits the card gives me. The fees charged to the banks, etc are essentially the same. So it's really no comparison as to which is worse for the market itself.
I think you just hit upon the most overlooked factor here, storage hardware. You can get an order of magnitude of benefit from moving to NVMe.

Especially when you look at nvme benchmarks using small files , they can be over 10 times faster than regular SSDs in those scenarios and have beefier firmare too.

I have a strong feeling that the reason databases crap out in containers is mainly because you're likely using a dynamically allocated volume with them. While your cloud providers storage solution will handle their all errors and redundancy for you, it wont provide consistent latency or even bandwidth. The hardware of the storage server will usually consist of old worn out SATA ssds ( which albeit being advertised as 250-500mbps, can drop down to 10-20 mbps in high loads).

When combine this along with noisy neighbours all sharing the same same pathetic storage bandwidth then yeah your database is gonna have trouble dealing with all the tiny errors in your I/O chain.

Whereas nvmes, especially ones that are local to the machine, running at 2000-4000 Mbps, and over 200mbps even at the most demanding benchmarks, wont have any of the issues. Their firmware is usually a lot befier and faster at dealing with bad cells.
Can you give a synopsis of what you teach in your course? How do you teach someone to be creative?

I had the "juggling for the complete klutz" book growing up, had a lot of fun with it. Thanks!
Well technically China did it first. China banned tons of foreign apps or websites because "significant national securities threat"
Apple Pay charges a fee as well. It also isn’t a payment system but a tokenization system similar to the chip on credit cards. Zelle was created by the big bank which is why you don’t see it at the small local banks. None of the competitor banks(fintech) have zelle support and I guess this isn’t their choice. They have to move money by ach with is much slower.

Any payment/money movement system needs a license and you’re still bound by federal rules on AML and KYC. It makes it hard to support the cannabis industry. AML laws will force you to report large cash movements.
>1366x768 is currently by far the most common resolution on PCs

According to steam 10.9% of users are running at that resolution. Only 4% are running at worse and 85% are running at higher resolution mostly at 1080p at a whopping 65%. Calling it the second most common is true but deceptive is it just means that its so old that there are so many different better choices that people are spread out over the many and varied better choices.

>i didn't want the blurry mess that a higher resolution would have

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/285860-720p-looks-bad-o...

If you mean that your apu is so weak that it can't do more than 720p and this would look bad at 1080p you are correct but that seems like a uniquely bad choice given that one would logically want to either get an actual gpu or give up on gaming and get a screen worth using instead of picking a compromise that is the worst of both worlds.

Regarding scalling 800x600 scales evenly to a 1920x1200 with black bars on the sides. 1152×900 scales to 1600x900 in the same fashion. You can also run the game in a window and avoid having to match it up evenly.

>1366x768 on a monitor (as opposed to laptop) makes for very sharp icons, fonts (after you disable antialiasing) for everything (as opposed to using a hidpi monitor where some apps look crisp and others look either too tiny or blurred from scaling).

I think your eyesight is bad.

Your PPI: 68

It depends upon your definitions of social status as well and domains. From what I gather in the UK "class" is more related to the job field than the actual success within.

Say an adjunct professor who makes less would be considered higher status than a mining CEO of a multimillion dollar company. In the US the CEO would be higher status without question - even if some may frown upon their business practices.

Computer science is still a relatively young field so looking for status within the traditional framework would be a mistake akin to sneering at the pioneers of the industrial revolution for getting rich through practical means rather than conquest or rents.
Yes certainly. Even if they are okay with having their personal data collected for various purpose (including helping to train censorship models in China [1]), they are allowing them to manipulate their behavior with TikTok trends - some dumb, some dangerous, most of them being both [2]. It's unhealthy in every way.

Yup, that's the same! Apparently the name has _farang_ in it since the tree isn't originally native to Thailand; Wikipedia says it's a transplant from Mexico, interestingly enough.
Tomcat definitely shows its age, but I also see some amusing parallels to modern cloud / IaaS architectures in a heavyweight application that implements standard APIs for code you can HTTP POST to it.

I know the CLR’s runtime performance has room for improvement- but I’m referring to the CLR’s capabilities and “language-enabling”-feature-set.
I've seen that kind of rounding error in code that went through emscripten.

The initial C++ code predated std::log10 so it was implemented using a change of base, i.e. log(value)/log(10). When this was translated into Javascript, it was as Math.log(value) / Math.log(10) which rounds to 64 bits each step of the way. In this particular calculation, this caused error to build up over time.

Replacing the C++ code with std::log10 translated into Javascript as Math.log10 and since the browsers natively implemented that, the values would stay in registers and only round once.
In the nature of charity, how would you distinguish between naturalized citizens, citizens by soil, and citizens who inherited the status from their parents?
> rustc is notorious for throwing huge gobs of unoptimized LLVM IR at LLVM and expecting LLVM to optimize it all away.

It might be a good idea to implement a cheap/fast optimization phase according to rustc assumptions, specifically for rustc, to clean up the mess. Keeping the rustc emit layer concise and clear should really be a goal, in my opinion. Obvious code is easier to audit.
