“... there are many rivals trying to woo mobile developers and consumers.”

Wow. Many? There are only two platforms, Android and iOS. Android barely has any competition with Play and iOS has no competition for the App Store. So who are the rivals?

The Play Store and the App Store do not compete as they cater to distinct audiences.

Passion, imo, is an attitude - and is reflected in quality of work and teamwork. I do think it is often used to trick people into getting less than they deserve, but doesn't have to be the case.

When I say I want to work with passionate people, I don't mean people who are willing to work 80 hours a week for 10 dollars an hour because they love coding or want to solve world hunger.
I mean I want to work with people who give their best, put the user/experience first, and are genuinely motivated to do good work. This doesn't mean you have to fake smile, or get taken advantage of, it just means you have bring some positivity to the table.

There are lots of tests out there that all correlate with general mental ability. Some of these, like mental rotation tests, benefit a lot from practice. Some of them, like Raven's Progressive Matrices, don't. The tests used in modern IQ tests are the ones where practice don't give much benefit.

Are they going to make the type system more totalitarian-state friendly? Is memory safety features better for building tools of state oppression?

What did it try to do then?

This whole article can be TL;DR with: Some people found Haskell useful to write their software and they support Haskell development now and I don't like what that software is for, so let's do something about it.

Why?

I think there's a lot of people in Open Source community that can't separate technical and free speech (and use) aspects of their work from their moral beliefs and keep conflating the two, trying to use their beloved OS projects as a tool in yet another moral crusade of their choosing.

PS. Come to think of it, maybe Haskell compilers should change the license to some custom non-Open-Source license that says: "only programs that are technically and morally pure can be compiled". ;)
No, of course not, but if I only included lesser known content in the reader and search engine then few people would use it since they would have to look elsewhere to find content from the major news sources.

Major news sources will always get more overall exposure simply through quantity because they publish so many articles every single day. However, low traffic sites and blogs will get their content promoted at or near the top of the search results when it is indexed in the same manner that the high traffic sites do.

I understand there are sites you dislike which is why I added an Upgrade global filter feature where you can block sites, topics, keywords, etc. that you do not want to see. Other Upgraded users can do the same when they do not want to see content they dislike as well.
Well, you're lucky then.

I like the initiative and I think this is a step for deterring credit card fraud. However, if someone wants your product bad enough, it's trivial — at an incremental cost — to buy a credit card with login.

Yes, while these issuers have security to prevent logging in/logging in from an unknown device/ip/user agent/hwid, we can all attest that for every secured account, there are plenty that aren't. Even with alerts, OPT, device recognition and notifications, that doesn't deter someone from going to a shop, searching by BIN, by brand, by zip, by email, by password, etc. to narrow down what they want to buy.

If you're the only provider with XyzGood, and someone wants XyzGood bad enough, this won't stop them.

Your argument rests on the assumption that poor people consume a set of goods completely distinct from middle income and wealthy people. If the price of a loaf of bread increases by 200% in an attempt to take advantage of increased purchasing power, why would the wealthier consumers accept this, if their income had not increased? Competition would put an end to rent seeking behaviour.

And on the subject of low income housing, it's often highly regulated, and can't be hiked arbitrarily.

If I've understood correctly, your argument is that the inflation in the basket of goods consumed by low income people exactly cancels out the increased purchasing power, I'm not sure you can argue that's definitely the case.
This. Learning music definitely makes children smarter at playing music, which is beneficial to anyone that might enjoy hearing their music or performing with them, and definitely the bit that ought to matter to the kids themselves if they're taking music lessons.

I think you’re misunderstanding. I’m saying that on platforms where the native scrollbar has arrows that you can click to scroll by a small amount in the nominated direction, you might prefer clicking on those arrows to do something different—to scroll one row or one column, whatever distance may be, rather than however many pixels the user agent decides. But you can’t do that on the web.

element.scrollIntoView() is completely unrelated to this.
Interesting article. Are there any wireheading proponents in this crowd? I'm curious to understand the phenomenon.

The following quote in the article illustrates what they describe as "Wireheading done right":

"Their primary state of consciousness cycles over a period of 24 hours. Here is their routine: They wake up and experience intense zest for life and work at full capacity making others happy and having fun. Then they go crazy creative in the afternoon, usually spending that time alone or with friends, and explore (and share) strange but always awesome psychedelic-like states of consciousness. Finally, at night they just relax to the max (the healthy and genetically encoded phenomenological equivalent of shooting heroin)."

I can see the appeal of this type of existence. But taking a step back, I question the value in experiencing these states unless they correspond to real events in the world.

For example, focus on "They wake up and experience intense zest for life and work at full capacity making others happy and having fun." This is a perfectly fine sentiment to have. But things should feel better because they're better things to do. Wouldn't a wireheader working in a cheap toxic factory be just as happy as one working in an expensive, safe factory? How might that ultimately impact the factories we design?

With utilitarianism, we attempt to maximize pleasure (very roughly speaking). But part of that is because pleasure has been tied to good events by our built-in wiring. If we have the ability to make any event pleasurable, it feels like we need a new ethical system that employs a full gradient of emotions, including low-valence ones, to appropriately reflect the difference between the desired and the actual reality, and avoid a dystopia where everyone is happy. How does wireheading take this into account?
This looks impossible.
> We need to act fast: if the economic demand for valence technologies disappears (or is low enough), we will find ourselves in a world in which exploring the state-space of consciousness is not profitable and pure replicators win.

Mmm. A rousing call to action. And one that normal people can definitely comprehend.
Not inconvenience those in power.

One your verification methods is to record a small random charge.

Note that this is also done by 'carders' and so it can trigger bank's own fraud detection.

I've had this happen to me; a legitimate entity in the USA checked my card with a small fee (with my agreement) and my card was cancelled. Took me a week to get it back.

There's a problem with public sector unions - they make a contract with 0.01% of the population, but the rest of the population gets to adhere to that contract.

If teachers want to have unions - they should be free.

If police officers want to go on a strike - they should be free to do so.

What I disagree with - is that police unions take hostage the whole legislative process and force their own interests without a broad debate.

Take police infraction reports in New York - police unions got their members infraction records sealed by law.

Any legal mandate for union or any legal mandate against a union is bad.
It doesn't matter if the people are bad or the institution is bad. The end result is the same:

I think GP's point might have been specific to Trending. Youtube's algo is pretty good at throwing me interesting content from my own subs, but I agree with the GP that the trending list is garbage.

Yes, but it's relevant because Steve Jobs seemed to claim otherwise in his testimony yesterday:

> During a hearing before the House antitrust subcommittee on Wednesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook testified that “we apply the rules to all developers evenly” when it comes to the App Store. But documents revealed by the subcommittee’s investigation show Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue offered Amazon a unique deal in 2016: Apple would only take a 15 percent fee on subscriptions that signed up through the app, compared to the standard 30 percent that most developers must hand over.[1]

Three reasons:

1. Apple has a monopoly on sales of iOS apps. If PayPal does something you don't like, you can leave them for their competitor and still keep providing the same products and services to your customers. If Apple does something you don't like, you need to either put up with it or abandon your iOS customers.

2. PayPal's fee is an order of magnitude less than Apple's fee.

3. PayPal usually has actual costs when someone buys and refunds something, since most consumers don't keep a balance in their PayPal account. Apple usually doesn't, since a lot more consumers do keep a balance in their iTunes account (from, e.g., gift cards).

They don’t need verification. In theory, you are supposed to have a direct debit mandate, but that is basically just a click.

If you want to take out a direct debit you need to be registered though, the process isn’t trivial and you need to deposit a security that can be used for a dispute. That makes it rather unlikely that the system is abused - though not impossible.

> Which is it, does the 30% discourage companies from participating, or does the App Store 30% and all enable too much competition for premium apps. It can’t be both.

Why are you phrasing this like a gotcha? "Too much competition" is your argument here, not mine. I think it's the former: the 30% discourages people (not necessarily companies) from participating.
No, wait, compared quarter to quarter it really did decrease by 32.9%. The 9.5% is what would be missing if suddenly everything went back to normal. Which it won't.
I wonder if it's just a matter of creative accounting? Whole sectors of the economy such as travel, dining out, entertainment disappeared for a period.
It seems like adding in these artificial domestic barriers would negatively affect the total stock market in aggregate, by making business less efficient overall. (scale == efficiency).

It has not passed the standard test to prove that it is safe and effective. This is the slow part, and many of the other vaccines are there. It is a very important part, because you want to be sure that the vaccine is safe and effective.

Calling this a "vaccine" is an exaggeration, at best we can call it a "vaccine candidate".
Generating HTML charts with Python and Highcharts
Ecommerce fraud is overwhelmingly "Carding", where someone is testing stolen cards to see if they are valid, and have large available balances.

The other most common type of fraud is buying goods with stolen cards, intending to resale the goods on Craigslist or similar.

For both of those cases, this idea would be an immense help. You perform your own "High Risk" criteria checking on all orders, and those flagged as being potentially High Risk, would then receive this extra verification step.

It's pretty rare for someone to steal or buy stolen cards to order products they actually want to keep.
Nothing proves that comic more than the current covid-19 'pandemic' which is largely based on fear and BS (bad science). The doctors and scientists that actually make sense get censored into obscurity while sensational and fear agenda promoting info gets published.
I think that depends on a lot of factors, and I wouldn't want to judge one way or the other.

Perhaps a kid who spends several years in chess clubs and really enjoys it is better off academically+socially than a kid forced by their parents to compete in math tournaments against their will, simply because the latter will have better emotional maturity and a support system to help them succeed later in life.

Speaking to my own experiences, I can say my parents encouraged me to hyper-optimize for grades and academics, but that I missed out on a lot of other, irreplaceable experiences growing up. My parents taught me to look down on people who choose sports, theater, etc. over academics, but as an adult I see just how formative those activities can be when it comes to soft skills like teamwork and leadership.
Very fair assessment of the situation.

I have used the IdeaVim plugin for IntelliJ, and honestly it was so bad it was worse than not having the plugin at all. Maybe 20% of commands actually behaved consistently with vim. And IIRC, a decent chunk of my preferred vim functionality was outright unimplemented.

Perhaps ironically, I didn't have any such problems with the (commercial) plugin for Visual Studio. It worked very well. It cost $100, but my employer paid for that.

I've basically given up on IDEs after that and just use vim itself. If you know of any that have a really good vi-mode plugin, I'd love to try one!
