> be prepared for transaction failures at best to getting locked out of the UPI apps at worst

Can you clarify on this? I’ve made transactions with UPI over in-flight Wi-Fi and no cellular coverage. The entire protocol does not require cellular/SMS coverage beyond the initial setup. Unless your specific PSP is doing some risk checks and signing you out, I don’t see why this would happen. The SIM-bindings are supposed to be persistent in nature.

Maybe your PSP is over-eager and you should try switching?
That's true in practice, but technically speaking it's false. You could imagine a contrived system which is not Turing complete but still contains a (rather useless) primitive that causes an infinite loop.
This is disingenuous as it pretends that the capability of debt creditors matches that of their behavior.
my perception is that its less about it being "perfectly ok to harass" and more about it being a fact that mistakes happen, and the means for correcting such mistakes is not unreasonably difficult.

of course if you have an alternative idea please share.

It sounds to me like intrinsic concerns aside, the original process for acquiring footage seemed reasonable. It’s not really any different from if the police asked for CCTV records from a local business or similar. A huge problem was the creation of a streamlined request portal where cops could just ask for whatever they wanted, with little oversight. I’m increasingly curious what a model for a society where voluntary compliance with production of business records wasn’t acceptable, and any request for records had to come with a real warrant, signed by a real judge.

KN95 masks are comparable to n95 masks in their filtration efficiency and you can order them from online stores like Amazon.

The continued scarcity of n95 masks in the US has to do with an incompetent/malicious federal government’s failure/refusal to incentivize massive local production of masks, and a constant increase in demand by hospitals because of the rising number of cases.
I think you're right that there's more to this than a little paperwork, but my (novice) understanding is that nuclear payloads are designed to withstand explosive aborts on their own.

RetroArch 1.9.0 Released
Mozilla DeepSpeech is trained on about 2000 hours of audio that is mostly spoken by American males. It has little ability to handle noise or accents and has a 5.97% Word Error Rate on LibriVox (which is noiseless, plain spoken english).

Meanwhile, Google, Microsoft & IBM have tons of fresh audio coming in constantly to use in augmenting their models.

Baidu was able to build a competitive English Speech to Text model with 5000 hours of quality audio to train against.

Mozilla did create Common Voice to address this serious data gap, but it has only collected 1492hrs of validated English audio: https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/datasets
Sadly, the answer to almost all of your issues is regulation.

India, in response to various terrorist attacks, enacted laws that made:

1. Burner phones impossible. Every new SIM requires a physical KYC

2. Every bank account requires KYC. And linking to a phone number

3. If you are a public WiFi operator(such as an Airport or a Internet Café), you are bound by law to keep KYC records of who used your services. The easiest way for this in India (that covers almost everyone) is to send an OTP over SMS. Sadly, this doesn’t work if you just landed in India and don’t have a working SIM.

The credit cars on PoS is more of a US issue because US banks refuse to support chip-and-PIN. With NFC payments being supported more and more (no PIN required), this should get easier - but I don’t think of this as a fault in the Indian system.

Disclaimer: I work at a Indian payments company.
It’s a little different between that liability waiver you might sign when you sign up for your gym, and some significant ongoing business venture you’re entering into with another party. I do consultancy work from time to time, and contract negotiations are actual negotiations. If I had a client with objectionable terms in their contract, and their response was “this is standard and you need to sign this, no ifs, ands, or buts” I’d take that as a major red flag, and if they were seriously objectionable (like the above), I’d tell them to pound sand.

> Sure, you don't have to go out of your way to challenge your type system, but it still means that you're a single typo away from sending your compiler and yourself on a wild goose chase.

the alternative would be writing bash or python or ... scripts to generate the code, and for those :

- you likely don't have any error message at all (ugh)

- they won't have knowledge of the type system of the language you're operating.

Seriously, everyone complains about pages and pages of template errors, but if you use any decent IDE it's a two-click process to go to the part of your code where things fail. Errors will be split, then (at least with GCC & clang) you just start at the bottom of the error which is the place in your code where things go wrong 99% of the time - and if not, rarely if ever more than a couple steps above that.

That sounds horrible, and I can relate. Shopify store owners who are bad customers can also hold you hostage by posting a 1 star review (unless you meet their demands).

Like you highlighted, it's even worse on mobile app stores as it's easy for them to get their friends to leave bad ratings.

Great that you survived and grew out stronger from the experience :)
Yes, of course. But I'm specifically interested in the design side, because the analysis side is already handled by open and/or free software, due to it being so close to what a small university research group might just publish or adapt for unconventional FEM analysis.

Design software is much less easy to find, though.
Despite myself I’m disappointed this wasn’t about time machines.
I diversify my payments, wherever I can - but not too much, since the other end is relying on too many third parties. I use SIMPL as a second layer for small value transactions, as it shows up as a single line item on my CC statement.

This is also a country where millions of people give their transaction data willingly to companies like Walnut.
(Answering a bit late, sorry I missed your reply!)

I still don't get it... How do you know when to activate the trap handler if you're not checking every time? It's not enough to wait for an error condition (e.g. an invalid pointer). If it's an array of integers, and I sneak in a string in there, what's stopping the JITed version from treating that pointer as an integer?
Got it, that makes sense. So high that if they say yes, I should be happy to do the service for that $$

> Thank you, this was an excellent read for myself, an English-speaking American.

Thanks Google Translate. This level of readability was unimaginable in 2015. Back then, the result was nonsense. In recent years however, the quality of Google's Chinese-English translation has significantly improved by better machine-learning models, and works especially well for formally written articles like news stories.

> Are Chinese news stories often this long and detailed?

This is a high-profile financial fraud, even by Chinese standards - whistleblowers, government funds, shareholder hostility, thousands of employees losing jobs, criminal investigation opening, and CEO flee to the USA. Naturally, it receives extensive press coverage.

> Is it extra newsworthy because Saleen / "Sailin" vehicle manufacturing was part of that province's five year plan? Or would this have gotten the same coverage regardless?

Not necessarily, a large fraud is enough. But a major connection to the government definitely helps to escalate the case to a national political scandal, implies the existence of political corruption (or at least incompetency and stupidity). Unfortunately, it happens from time to time.
Does ARM need saving?
From what I've heard from SpaceX employees, Musk is extremely committed to SpaceX in general, and to putting people on the surface of Mars in particular. It's most definitely not a joke for him and I don't see him "bugging out" of something that to a large extent gives his life a higher purpose.
Understanding Lomuto's Partitioning Scheme
Mozilla DeepSpeech is rapidly maturing, but it needs thousands of hours of validated audio data to train each language. Its a feat that with only 2000 hours of audio they can achieve a 5.97% word error rate.

Baidu had 5000 hours of audio data to train their DeepSpeech and DeepSpeech 2 models, meanwhile Google, Microsoft & IBM have people constantly giving them fresh audio to train and validate their models with.

Firefox Voice data should help rapidly expand the Common Voice audio corpus beyond the 1492hrs it currently contains: https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/datasets
The answer obviously varies wildly for every product and company.

Not everything can be feature flagged.
Not all tests can be automated.
Not all features can be safely tested in production.
You can't always roll-back code.

Scenarios where I've found staging environments to be invaluable:

- Features that make wide-scale changes to the application

- Changes that require user acceptance testing. Management/Customers might ask for Feature X, you have designers mock up what it'll look like, you might even build prototypes of it... but until they see it and play with it, they might not fully realise that what they actually asked for isn't what they actually intended.

- Integrating changes from multiple developers and seeing how they play together

- Testing that your feature flagging actually works

- Testing how the system responds to dumping large amounts of data/requests at it - a half-day outage in production might easily exceed the cost of a whole year of running a staging environment.

- Testing how the system behaves after data migrations/changes (things where there's no roll-back without losing data)

- Testing integrations with external systems.

- Detecting poor performance, memory leaks, deadlocks, and other stuff that isn't possible on a dev's machine

Testing code on your machine is fine as a smoke test, but your laptop probably has multiple times the capacity of a single node on production, for a single user. So your change that results in 1GB/sec of full table scans on the database might not even be noticed because hey, you have an NVME drive. Your tests also run for maybe a few minutes, but that staging instance might be up for days or hours, and deals with hundreds

I've picked up numerous issues because someone (I'm including myself here) committed some code that resulted in Staging going down or behaving poorly.

I've even overheard conversations that were along the lines of "Yeah, this feature isn't working right at the moment in testing, but that's because staging is running slow today It's fine, we can push this out to production and it'll be better there." if it wern't for me overhearing that, it'd have resulted in a multi-GB video file being sent for every visitor to the site, costing a fortune in CDN charges and still running like crap because it was a 30 second video.

Since that is the most obvious UX, most PSPs automatically assign you mobile@PSP.

However, VPA lookups are public (VPA->Name), so your mobile Numbers can now be used to get your real name, which resulted in a lot of backlash and PSPs making this an opt-out feature.
Thanks for the feedback. On the todo list
> Hint: It's not just to give their big business friends some moolah.

I mean, sometimes it is. Thats why they bailed out banks for making loans to people who could be reasonably expected to default, but failed to bail out the homeowners who were dumb enough to believe the bank when they were said they were able to become a homeowner in America by signing some papers they didn't really understand. Regulatory capture is absolutely a factor in explaining the government's response to many financial crises.

I'm pretty sure the average Joe would be better served with a system where corporations that make poor decisions go to bankruptcy court and their assets are sold to other people in order to pay their creditors and reallocate the capital more responsibly.

in a capitalist economy, profit is supposed to be the reward for correctly estimating risk and correctly allocating capital. in a socialist economy, the government is supposed to redistribute wealth to people who don't have it. in the current system, profits are privatized and losses are socialized, at least for powerful and connected people.

what's your alternative explanation?
> wearing literally anything

Well, no: the fleece mask broke larger droplets into many smaller ones, resulting in an increase of 10% in the number of droplets compared to the no-mask baseline. Being smaller droplets, they would also hang in the air longer.

While funny, that is a little while ago. What is depressing now is that it became worse but people are not that vocal in public anymore.

Many people I encounter say they can do things in days but when hired they really can't (not even close) (and these are seniors with proven experience doing things but just not very fast at all; I cannot figure if it's the frameworks as I know I could do it in days with jquery/lamp + normal hosting which is what I was asking for). Sometimes (well, generally actually always) I need something fast, not robust, maintainable and definitely not with docker/k8s/microservices etc etc. I have not found many people who can just practically do things they say they can; then in 2007 with the dropbox thing or now on freelancer sites or forums; when you hire people, even (because I understand you want more hours / security / whatever) when I can promise you that IF you can, I have work for you basically forever (considering I have a 20 year trackrecord of doing these kind of applications and i'm not stopping any time soon). I even don't care about the tech; if you want to use the latest/greatest/cv-driven crap for it; be my guest, as long as it works and delivery is fast. Seems perfect for people; I cannot find any that go beyond big talk on sites like HN.
This only works if both parties are on the same PSP and no VPA lookup over UPI is required. So if I am not registered on PhonePe, you can’t send me money using just my phone number there.

For other cases, most PSPs will automatically register mobile@psp for you with an opt-out.
Shifting ground from value add to required wasted time as ordered by leadership is an odd position.

It’s that kind of nonsense that incompetent people use to qualify prior bad decisions formed from insecurity at expense to everything else. It’s less clever than a person might think.
Indian POSes expect pins and most international credit cards do not have one so they get auto-decline

This is actually an America problem and not a world problem. Even cards and POS in Europe are chip enabled. On the other hand, I have used my PIN-less American credit card in Europe and India and it always worked without asking for a PIN.

Indian websites accepting online payments are usually extremely poorly designed and can't handle International credit cards at all. Most even require that you must have Indian phone number.

+1, the entire online banking experience sucks.

buy Internet access on international airports in India. It is impossible unlike rest of the world. The worst thing is that to even get in the Indian payment system you need govt issued citizenship documents and wait for approvals

That's not true. There are cell-phone service providers on the Airport that issue you a working SIM with an international passport on the spot. You don't need Indian citizenship. But you do need an Indian bank account for UPI.

1. Using nazi/opressionist slang doesn't help your point.

2. It's not just state television, but state television, radio and by now also their associated internet platforms. They also fund public offerings on Youtube etc..

3. Since they also fund things on the internet (though I think that still a small percentage of their total budget), it makes sense that everyone with an internet capable device pays. Shortly after that switch in legislation they also went from trying to detect if someone has one of those devices to just having every household pay, so of course they send bills.

There are a lot of valid points to be criticized about how the former GEZ is run (e.g. paying a shitload for sport event broadcast licenses to corrupt organizations), but yours are not it.

This is right. I was comparing Idris (the only existing implementation rather than its core type theory) to C++ (which has many implementations.) I think the situation may have be similar for Epigram as its core theory was very expressive but eliminators were only elaborated for strictly positive types or something like that (I might be wrong about this.)

My point was just that the situation with C++ is worse than it has to be.
ISP perspective: Always have an ironclad definition in your service contracts and terms of service where the demarcation point is between your CPE at a customer's premises, and their LAN. Problems on one side of that demarc are your problem. Problems on the other side are not.
There has been a strong anti-science component in the US for literally centuries. These advances have been despite the sentiment. In addition, it isn't like other countries weren't going to space or weren't working on it (just like now). Tech has been mirrored elsewhere for a long time, but an American education might lead you to believe differently (I know mine didn't really mention that things like cars were being developed elsewhere - they just mention the first American to make things).

If you want a fine example of this, look at the push against modern medicine. Folks were eshewing "European-style medicine" for quite some time.

The US Took a really, really long time to eliminate lead from paint and gasoline, comparatively, even though we knew about the harm.

We knew things about climate change before WWII, and the denial then was pretty strong. People were scoffing about Earth Day when I was a child - I'm 42 now.

Anti-maskers were about in the 1910's with the Spanish flu. The anti-vax movement has been around since.. well, around the time we started to have vaccines. Yes, folks lined up for them, but not everyone.

It is a whole heck of a lot easier to be vocal about it now, though, and easier to reach others to try to convince them.

I cannot deal with these kind of statements and that's probably why I never use linters for my own projects. And yes, my code is good enough, a linter won't make it any better. It just blocks me time and time again and litters the codebase with: // eslint-disable-next-line

I never really understood why these tools are so popular and who really needs them. In the end it's all about the result of the code you've written, how easy it can be maintained and how good it works. No linter can help me with that.
