I'd disagree, the work that's done in college campuses, are for, well, college. Students don't have time to work on startups really, there just isn't the same commitment as when in the workforce or doing it full time.

Or perhaps I'm missing something else in this comment?
Could argue that it "makes sense" in exactly the same way - when you offer the discount, you increase overall spend / demand, i.e. you increase the size of the loan, which is something that as the lender you would prefer to do toward people with better credit.
+1 for Mercury. My only feature wish is the ability to write paper checks (not send via mail). It comes up occasionally (e.g. in CA need to give paper checks to employees on the spot when terminating).

But SO much better than Wells Fargo.
I just wonder who cares? At all? What is "better"? Reinventing wheels instead of relying on open source, battle tested code?

Can you actually answer the question I am asking? Can you actually engage the discussion? I would actually like to know what you think and hear you discuss that as I'm legitimately interested in hearing what you think fair trade is and for you to explain what unfair trade is.

And not in a "I want to dunk on you way". I just want to understand your viewpoint.

Update: It's clear you aren't actually interested in having a discussion about this. Which is sad.

It's sad that people are so taken by their China is bad mentality that they're unwilling to think about China in any other terms. I don't condone many of the actions of the PRC but they made some brilliant decisions about economic policy with a lot of forethought that is has allowed them to grow their economy at an astronomical pace.

We like to beat our chest about free-market principles in the US but it's a vague fantasy at best. Meanwhile China has done the opposite. China is communist, but uses all the best parts of free market values where they need to.

China has built their economy to allow China to grow rapidly and we have allowed them to take our industrial base away from us because of the relative cost of labor. I'd have called that an unfair deal if they hadn't planned ahead so well.

Now as we see the see-saw turn toward their end it becomes obvious. China set themselves up to succeed and we've set our selves up to fail.

But by all means, reject China wholesale because of the moral/ethical issues. It's not like we don't have our own.

>Importantly, a big part of my reasoning here is that, subscribing to stoic thought, I place accountability for any perceived "damage" from words on the shoulders of the person interpreting them.

Whoa there buddy. You can't just suggest that other people be responsible for their own emotional responses and learn to moderate them and move along. If people started doing that, then what nwxt? You'd start having people independently then! Furthermore, that would completely negate a degree or manner of social control capable of being leaned on.

Apologies for the tongue in cheek, but I have the feeling your words may fall on deaf ears. Even worse, they'll fall on malicious ones who would turn it against you for the gall or privilege you demonstrate by aiming you can just say anything to anyone else, and whether or not they get offended is their problem.

I think I'm starting to understand the mentality a bit better;and it isn't necessarily unhealthy if taken at reasonable degrees. On the one hand, there is some level of required empathy to one's audience in any exchange. On the other hand though, no one is entitled to never getting in a verbal sparring match, and it's not terribly graciously or respectable to just say "That is your problem."

You have to bring your full rhetorical toolkit to the table. You have to meet on levels of logos, pathos, and ethos all. Leave any one out, or conspicuously absent, and you're liable to get binned more often than convincing anyone.
You need to be more specific about what you mean by the internet. The "internet" is just a protocol and a bunch of cables connecting a bunch of servers together (obvious over simplification to illustrate a point). If you mean specific sites that dominate usage of internet then that's a different story. If you mean control of the network, that's not really a design problem. The internet was ultimately a communications network invented by the government. Governments have and always will try to moderate communication networks.

I paid minimal attention to the Libertarian Party nomination debates, but from what I heard when Justin Amash briefly considered running for President as a Libertarian, the debates within the Party were centered around running to win versus just trying to influence the direction of the Overton window. I suspect Amash chose not to proceed because he realized that the Libertarian Party while not without worth, does not have the killer instinct to actually win elections and that will forever hamper their effectiveness. Amash wanted to win.

I have strong libertarian sympathies, but the reason I’m not a full throated libertarian is that it isn’t an ideology that effectively seeks to acquire power, and without being able to win elections, they can never pave the way for the society they seek, nor would it be able to withstand aggressive neighbors or slight changes in values across the community. A libertarian state is transient at best.

I also don’t want to prop up SEZs that would massively violate peoples’ natural rights for the sake of experimentation. Freedom is without Kings or Serfs or Slaves.

Maybe international relations is more complicated than we think it is? TPP for example was meant to be an offset to China's growing power that would allow for meaningful trade negotiations. Obama had a plan, and even if I thought the IP portions were a poison pill, I can still recognize the strategic value.

I don't bother with backups of anything except a clean, freshly installed OS and my laptop immediately after purchase (I only bother with these mainly because Microsoft expired my MSDNAA keys, preventing reactivations when I was still in college, and I don't trust them not to do it again). Anything important is stored in cloud storage accounts, yes, but to me, mp3 rips of my CD music connection aren't important; neither are saved games, data from class assignments 10 years ago (I have printouts and final CD presentation), etc. If my computer died, I'd be out quite a bit of data I, personally, simply don't care about--including signing keys for several software repositories, multiple versions of compiled software used for creating delta updates, and other things that people other than myself might care about. I would have a ton of work to do to regain most of this data (ripping CDs, redownloading data, cloning and building software) but most of this data simply takes up too much space to keep backed up.

I will say this: box.net's webdav support is quite useful if you want cloud storage without a client like Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. I have having a background process constantly running just so I can keep up to date files that never change, and that I either don't need locally (backups) or are too large to want multiple copies of (CD images), or get locked/constantly modified (browser profile).
I agree with the sibling in that defaults are powerful.

However, I've never built anything directly used "by the public", nor am I very familiar with how Apple Sign in works.

So I'm wondering, as the developer of a trustworthy app, what's the drawback in the user giving an obfuscated address?

If dollar stores do anything, they re-inforce the poverty trap they exemplify: Once your community is serviced by dollar stores, it is hard to persuade capital investment for different types of stores, because they want to avoid the association.

Dollar stores don't cause poverty but they make it harder to move on from.

I live in a former working-class low-rent suburb, and the displacement of dollar stores with real stores followed on from gentrification: it did not lead. The dollar stores that persist are in dark corners. (btw I am part of the gentrification problem: re-capitalising the locality is displacing people with less income)

Dollar store poverty trap includes being forced to re-purchase badly made cheap things, and live with hacks and bugs, because you cannot afford the well made rational alternative. The belief that all goods in a type are substitutable is simply wrong. (probably a strawman) -good wine has qualities beyond getting you drunk, cheap wine only meets the latter goal.

Citation? I don't think anything significant changed in that regard. Coroutines are still "stackless" in terms of the C stack, but "stackful" in terms of the language semantics. The virtual data stack is still clearly on the heap.

Lua 5.4 adds a new function, lua_setcstacklimit, but this merely exposes what was a compile-time constant, LUAI_MAXCCALLS, in earlier versions. Lua can't avoid making some use of the C stack as it supports intermingling of lua_call's from C code with in-language VM calls, which necessarily will use some amount of C stack. Lua has lua_callk for yield/resuming across C code invocations, but not everybody makes use of this and in any event it's only for coroutine semantics, not for recursion.

Tangentially related, but if anyone is interested in some manufacturing background on some products for dollar stores, check out Poorly Made in China. [1] The author goes through the process of an American business owner attempting to manufacture soap in China, for distribution in US general stores.

The owner was trying to stay compliant with all the laws, and trying to fulfill the contract, but faced immense challenges. Ingredient swaps without notice, labeling issues, bottle consistency issues, etc.

It really opened my eyes to the quality side of some commodity-type products. We, as a society, need to become more aware of the supply chain of products we buy. When I mention Amazon comingles inventory, most people are shocked. They think Amazon Prime means Amazon has oversight and a motivation to control the supply chain from the manufacturer to the end user, which is simply not the case.

It's certainly challenging to figure out where stuff comes from, and suppliers are constantly changing, so you'll probably only be able to trace back 1 layer of manufacturing. Doing so helps give confidence in what you're buying.

Of course Visa and Mastercard still have a big role, especially in the brick & mortar. But when looking at e-commerce, the share of card payments is 40%. I don't think it is very relevant to discuss "duopoly" and say that they have the power to censor user content - because they don't. If they ban you, you still have many other options. AFAIK the point in the article was that we should break the credit card duopoly because they have too much power. I don't think that is the case here.

Do you think that the credit card companies having too much power is a big problem in the Nordics?
If you think it's confusing, then the best I can say is that you have a _lot_ of reading to catch up on. But here is at least a very abbreviated primer on terminology to help alleviate your confusion https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2652990/
Another question:

(d) How much does the precise wavelength matter? The study used 670nm but also mentions the range 650-1000nm. Lots of red-light gadgets are available on Amazon but how do you verify the wavelength? I was thinking of an optical spectrum analyzer[1] but at $28,000 they are shockingly expensive. Even with raw LEDs bought from a reliable electronics distributor like Digi-Key, it would be nice to be able to measure it somehow.

I grew up in a rural community that was at one time nearly a 30-45 minute drive from any major department store. Dollar General stores have filled in the gap and people in my hometown genuinely enjoy shopping there. It's convenient, it's close, it's got all the basics, it's cheap. It's easy. It works quite well for these smaller communities that don't justify a Wal-Mart or Target sized department store.
This article reminds me of the time the city of Philadelphia tried to ban corner stores from installing bulletproof glass to protect themselves in robberies. Or the numerous education reformers trying to ban remedial classes by making all classes nominally "honors".

Bulletproof glass, remedial classes, and dollar stores reflect societal problems, so outside observers, in their great wisdom and compassion, decide they must be the cause of the problems. They campaign to get rid of them, completely oblivious to the fact that this would only hurt the people they supposedly care about, while doing absolutely nothing to address the real problems. Their injunctions are not even self-consistent: the dollar store is bad for not having the resources to prevent theft, while the corner store is bad for trying to.
I thought China would wait to take Taiwan first, so they could limit resistance in Taiwan by saying "we'll let you have your own system like we did in Hong Kong." Now that China has reneged on Hong Kong, Taiwan won't believe them.

Totally disagree. Just because a future model in the next 2 years won't be x86, doesn't mean a current Mac is suddenly going to be unsupported. You'll have maybe 5 years of good use before that's the case. Even then there will be demand for an x86 mac from people dual-booting to Windows, or other uses that require an x86 processor.
Let me try: I think it’s about reflection and continuous improvement and providing a framework to enforce those. Scrum-haters in our group are also notorious for an attitude of negativity and resignation in many matters, while Scrum-friends want to improve all the time and find ways to do so, beyond what is obvious.

'no code' usually does not just refer to a different type of editor, like a visual widget composer. It usually implies the creation and specification an now be done by a person that does not need coding skills.

The latter is not impossible, but there is a tradeoff. As computers have endless capabilities, a hue number of design choices need to be specified in order to select/create the specific outcome desired.

This required information need can for the end programmer/designer be reduced by shrinking the potential design space through premade implicit descisions. Creating a 'stopwatch' app from scratch starting with a blinking cursor in an empty text file will require a lot more specification than creating it in a dedicated graphical stopwatch designer where all that is still needed is specifying the color of the start/stop button, but the former leaves you endless more possibilities than the latter.

Getting the above tradeoff right usually runs into the 80/20 situation. You can live with 80% of the choices made, they cover 80% of your needs, but for the rest...

And now your non-coder runs into a problem. Not only is the skillet promise now void, the higher level abstraction made in the 'no code' model is not crisply delineated, so the coder brought in to finish the job now has to understand the complexities of the code underlying the abstraction where the design tradeoffs were chosen not in favor of this under the hood meddling.

A similar problem occurs when a bug or unforeseen configuration breaks the no code veil. This is referred to as the 'leaky abstraction' problem.

In the end usually you still need a coder that understands the lower level. And specifitions for highly open systems are more efficient conveyed and maintained through textual 'code' than through other types of graphical editors.

I work in the public sector of Denmark, and I’m involved with both developing and procuring solutions. We have quite a lot of them, around 300 for our 10.000 employees, and from a buyers perspective things like Scrum and agile rarely makes a lot of sense. It’s down to the old triangle of time, features, money, which agile and through it scrum mandates at least one has to be flexible. Only that’s now how you buy software. No one is going to give you an unlimited amount of money of time for an uncertain amount of features, and almost nobody has the time to act into your Scrum schedule to prioritise stuff. Because of this, it’s not really how you sell software either. As a result Scrum often becomes a wrapped in a business side that’s very much unified or waterfall process in companies pretending to be agile. I’m not saying it happens everywhere, but I don’t think I’ve ever been involved with a procurement or development process you could truly call agile.

That doesn’t mean you can use scrum, but it does mean that you should be careful about how you do so. If you have a bunch of guys working on different CRUD web-applications, does it really make sense to have them do a stand up every morning? Probably not. But maybe the kanban board still works well. Based on my own experiences you have to be careful and “agile” about how you build your processes to suit your changing needs, but going full strict scrum, is probably never going to work unless you’re a major tech company.

This is an interesting argument, but it is not backed up by actual store behavior.

Stores generally try to give extra charges for using credit cards, not the other way around.

It seems like the fair thing to do, should be to allow a store to do whatever it wants, and make these credit card requirements illegal.

So, it would be allowed for stored to charge extra for either cash or credit, whatever they choose, and the credit card companies would be forbidden from stopping this.
What I'd contest on this is the fact that almost nobody needs best in spec in every category... Yeah, building the exact spec might not be cheaper, but it's also not what's needed to match the performance in any 1 or more particular use case.

Also, nothing will every justify a $1k monitor desk mount.
