Nothing you've pointed out is a reason to not use Venmo

1. Okay? I use venmo on my phone since there nothing that is lost from not using desktop. There are 3 buttons and a keypad to use. what else do I want?

2. That limit is probably only for brand new accounts. I started paying rent using Venmo, which initial amount FAR exceeded the total amount I've ever spent through venmo in total.

3. I'm able to ignore it and it doesn't matter. Who the hell cares.

4. I solve this by not adding friends.
We could 'beat' Covid-19 before a vaccine is ready
Your inability to "get used to" cold may reflect a survival technique the body has, to avoid hyothermia. Sleeping cold has very high risks.

Aside from this, I am truly sorry you had to live through this experience, and that others continue to live through this experience. It has been a revalation to me how quickly local authorities here in Australia could house rough sleepers when they had a specific intent (disease prevention) in mind. I always suspected persisting homelessness was both complex (causative reasons) and simple (to fix) but what surprised me was how simple: they just had to decide to do it.

Shame on them, shame on us, for continuing to vote for authorities so apathetic to the problem of homelessness.
The taping method is very player specific. For example, I like to tape from about an inch from the toe all the way back to the heel. Others, like just a few wraps near the toe. For me, a hole in the blade would have no aero benefits but for others, it could matter. The other benefits of the hole as they pertain to the blade flex would still be noticed regardless of taping style.
Alberta government to support feasibility study for Edmonton-Calgary hyperloop
Agreed. I'm not a Google stan, but I'm inclined to be on their side here.

It would be good to switch to a less expensive solution, and I hope the Chromium team does so, but at the end of the day we don't want ISPs to hijack DNS queries.

I'm not convinced that I should care more about the extra load on root DNS servers than I should care about the hijacking. And frankly, I don't trust the people who are complaining about this.
Fraud liability usually falls on the business. Maybe the credit card companies shoulder the responsibility in some cases but I think its unlikely.
A 2008 trip from Vienna to Pyongyang: http://vienna-pyongyang.blogspot.com/

This featured, for part of the way, a ride in the North Korean sleeper car from Moscow to Pyongyang, as far as I know still the world's longest single continuous rail trip without changing trains.

Something like this could pretty well never be done again, though. The Khasan-Tumangang border crossing is really only open to North Koreans and Russians, and they managed to get in only on the technicality that Tumangang was listed on their visas as a valid port of entry. They were lucky they didn't end up in a North Korean jail - or a Russian one.

"you're wrong" - Best way to win over someone you disagree with
That’s just it, it doesn’t. To compare apples to apples between office and wfh, there has to be child care arranged and it can’t be the same person as the one working. You usually don’t take kids into the office. Work is still work, regardless of location.

The current situation with child care effectively closed has created the situation where you have to do both work and care for the kids. If you move that same situation into the office, it’s not going to be pretty.

Your stance that they are overly intolerant would have more credibility if you had stated it more tastefully. As it is, you have lead me to believe your attitude was more likely the actual problem.
NIST: FRVT Face Mask Effects
I believe this is a twist to the old english phrase "Give a dog a bad name and hang him" - which as wikipedia points out, is rooted in the concept of negativity bias.

I've got a Diners Club card and it's 14 digits. I've never seen a Diners Club card that's got more than 14.
I can confirm this. Years back I had those (now deceased) two cats who liked to get under the blankets while we were sleeping, but apparently they liked me more than my girlfriend, so until they decided to leave I had those furry warmers lying down along my legs, one here and one there. A couple more cats along my arms and I could easily turn off the heater. House is small though, so max 2 cats at a time to avoid hygiene related issues.
These days I have two different cats; one loves sleeping between my torso and the right arm keeping his head on my shoulder, pretty much like a baby, and the other one from time to time climbs on my belly to sleep there after asking permission with a soft meow. Luckily he isn't the fatter of the two:)
Cats are incredible.
Do you have some more details how it would be copyright infringing? I can't see what part of an implementation would be direct copied work, unless it's byte sequences etc.
I'm afraid not - it's nothing particularly exotic, mostly Home Assistant, Pi Hole and Bitwarden password manager.

Next thing I want to add is a bookmark manager - then perhaps some kind of storage solution.
That is an interesting thought. Settling a puck is a skill that all players have to develop at some point. Nothing is worse than having a perfect shooting opportunity but the puck is on edge and you end up sending the puck off in some wild direction.
"The potential of positive self-directed emotions has largely not been embraced by activists. The worry could be that it might make those engaging in the cause appear self-satisfied or selfish. But these studies suggest that, instead of focusing on ‘doom and gloom’ messaging that zooms in on people’s shortcomings and risks alienating them, policymakers and strategists might find that positive messaging, speaking to people’s positive sense of self, might be a more powerful lever of behavioural change."

getting results like this from giving study subjects a questionnaire is nice, but is there an actual real world, macro example of somehow inducing positive self-images on a large scale and seeing the desired effect?

I think negative, external reinforcement has a much stronger real-world case. One only needs to look at the behaviour in countries like China or Japan, where guilt and social punishment has been used as a tool for probably thousands of years, with actual results. Singapore's a place that is well known for getting people to do the right thing, I'm not sure they managed to do it with pats on the back.

And to pick up the examples from the article, environmentally-friendly behaviour, haven't we seen real results after we began, often with aggressive campaigns, how ruining the environment is both wasteful and harmful, having turned symbols of excess into symbols of shame?
I think Google works really hard to surface comments that they know a user will interact with.

Sorry, that's my bad for using an initialism without clarification.

> EDIT: It hit me: text to speech. You are right about this, of course. But if you have a system for generating a selection of PDFs, including a text version would be trivial.

The problem with plain text is you lose the styling and images. A lot of people who use text to speech (TTS) still have some vision or even full vision, and would like to see the pictures or bolded/italic text. If there were a richer format that included those things but worked well with TTS, wouldn't that be worth offering for download? And isn't an epub exactly that sort of format?

Active users of ereader devices predominantly use them to read reflowable formats. If the aesthetics or functionality of the reflowable experience offended those users, they probably wouldn't remain users/owners of such a device for long. I'm sure there are some exceptions.

Offering a PDF, or even many PDFs, is fine. Some people prefer PDFs and their opinion is no less valid the preference for reflowable formats.

In my opinion, a reflowable format should always be offered to those who want it, but certainly not forced on everybody. I think authors like Douglas R. Hofstadter who insist on strict fixed formatting are within their rights to do so, but are misguided. I own a paperback copy of how book; I wish I could also own an epubs copy, but unfortunately that seems impossible due to the imposed preferences of the author.
> A One Time CC per transaction would be more useful and negates many potential issues in a way that protects the customer and in turn the bank itself.

That's what Google pay does. It generates a new credit card number for each transaction that charges the CC you have on your account. It's kind of like a password manager for credit cards.
This would allow TransPod to develop the longest hyperloop test track in Canada to my knowledge.

I'm surprised to see this level of interest by the Alberta government on tech that is very much unproven.

They are actually vultures in expensive clothing, waiting to feast on your startup to exit scam into an acquisition or IPO.

To them, startups are disposable businesses that allow them to be on the board of directors so that you lose control of your business and they can steer your startup into the hands of another to get that gigantic 10x exit if they can.

Best part? If you're in your Series E, F, G and the return is not 10x, the vultures still win. The founder, employees and the user always leave with nothing. A complete scam.

So much for an "incredible journey".
Delightful! Jordan Bowman demonstrates an 8th practical tip: Give examples.

If anyone is interested in antiques from medieval eras, imported from mediterranean countries, I highly recommend this place in Santa Fe, NM. They also do reproductions. To be honest, I wish I had the sort of job they do-- traveling around Spain, Portugal, Italy, identifying antiques. To me that sounds like a dream job. One thing I thought was super cool: authentic conquistador's leather clothes chests.

Report suggests ways to avoid satellites ruining telescope images
It's not intended to attack you. I am trying to tell you I know from long experience that someone arguing the way you are arguing is someone who isn't really interested in my point of view. You want studies and even if I come up with studies, it will somehow never be enough because of who I am and why I hold the opinions I hold.

I came back to say "I don't see this discussion going good places." That was intended to be a courtesy to let you know I'm sure your interest is sincere but I'm not someone in a position to "convince" you.

You and I see it differently. I'm not going to pretend that I think you are right. But I'm not someone with any credibility.

I didn't want to just give you the silent treatment. That seemed rude to me, but perhaps would have been wiser.

For reasons unrelated to you and this discussion, I am wishing I had never heard of Hacker News and that fact is probably making it difficult for me to not sound screechy no matter how hard I try today. You will need to excuse me, but I just cannot continue this discussion.
We still have a long way to go--my friend's bank called him up to say that his six-digit bank PIN was "too long" and that he should change it to four digits "for security".

i used to work in enterprise cms implementations. a couple of thoughts:

- in my experience most cms implementations are handled by a partner or vendor with some expertise. few businesses have the direction/leadership in place to hire a few devs of the intended cms and start hacking away.

- if you are targeting enterprise you need to market to C-level (or slightly below) marketing people, not devs. marketing holds the keys here and any technical people are usually just along for the ride.

- non-cms content (coming from business systems/integrations) will come into play quickly, figure out a simple blueprint to extend the cms object model to account for this.

- though these were enterprise setups they were usually way off the mark by the time we talked to actual system users. think multiserver architecture, requirements to edit the most obscure content that will never be touched after launch, integrations that dont make sense, access to inaccessible data, etc. probably 30% of the time it should've been something simpler like wordpress, netlifyCMS, etc., 30% should have been static content, 20% should have been completely custom and 20% were actually a good fit for the cms.

- set up examples of common site layouts/components and a WYSIWYG implementation for each. non technical users will expect to be able to change EVERYTHING and page templates quickly turn into a mess trying to keep it all together. episerver has a pretty good system for this IMO.
There are often very cheap city/county options too: where I live its less than $30 for a spay/neuter + rabies vacc (significantly less than a private vet would charge).
> Right now all of the burden is on the credit card companies. Any fraud is their liability.

Tell that to retailers who lose a gazillion dollars to fraud reversals every year.
That's called "programmed learning": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_learning
Virtually every country other than the United States uses a cryptographic NFC and/or chip and pin system for in-person credit/debit transactions.

In most countries, the card number is only used for online and phone transactions. There's probably no way to do better than this without abandoning cards entirely in favor of some kind of device (or app) that has enough of a user interface to do a human-readable challenge response.

Intentionally moving a broken stick to block or possibly block the puck is also a penalty. It is one of the more "judgment call" type calls a ref can make.
> wow, that must be quite the great guy, or he wouldn't have those kinds of friends.

All I was really saying was that maybe he believed this himself. Like his mum paid for an expensive party and invited the cool kids and they were mostly polite and now he thinks they like him and he’s part of the group.
Key difference being belief in his own delusion, before bragging to others about being one of the cool kids.
Not from anyone who has done both jobs, I suspect.

Traditional Infrastructure-as-Code solutions were based on edge-triggers. Like create ingress, delete ingress. But what about when ingress misbehaves or is in an unrecoverable state?

Kubernetes introduced edge-triggered level-driven with resync reconciliation based "controllers". User defines a state and the controller does it's best to keep the infra in this desired state all the times. (Although Terraform has also moved to this same design in recent times)

This establishes a consistent experience. Everyone knows you just need to do kubectl get my-resource to check your desired state. All the issues will be logged in status and controller. You can combine multiple controllers to achieve your desired application design. For example, Knative has their own kind called "Service" which has some custom components, some inherited from istio and things like replicasets from default kubernetes controllers.
> We started putting armed police in schools to defend against school shootings. Not to intimidate students.

Tell that to the 8yr old who had his elbows cuffed painfully behind his back by the school officer because he misbehaved.
Semi-off-topic, but does anyone know about the "churning" culture in Japan vs the US? What are the numbers? Here in the US you can generally expect sign up bonuses of a few hundred dollars, and a return of around 2% on your transactions, with category bonuses up to 5%. What do people get in Japan? I've just Googled it, and apparently some cards get 1 mile per 100 JPY (approximately 1%) - do some get more than that? What about sign up bonuses?

To give the European perspective, there's much less "churning", available, partly because of laws that limit transaction fees. Sign up bonuses are usually around $50-$150, and many cards have no benefits _and_ an annual fee. Cashback, if you do get it, is usually 1% or less, with exceptions going up to 1.5% or so.
It's realistic, though not very nice, to imply that "minority" is the opposite of "high income".

Hint: Not only are “some of my best friends Black”, my parents, my wife, my children, and all of my family is too. Please don’t go all “woke” on me.

For the discipline difference, it's enough that there is an income difference. That explains everything. There is no need to mention race.

Studies show that it happens in the same district...

The high-income people, of any race, care about education and discipline. Getting a kid to behave is usually as simple as telling the parents.

Right because poor people don’t care about education.

The high-income people, of any race, care about education and discipline. Getting a kid to behave is usually as simple as telling the parents.

Uhh, this isn’t new. I went to a private school growing up. By definition if they were paying to go to the school I went to, they weren’t poor. I saw myself how much different the “bad” White kids were treated than the Black kids.

The group you associate with will determine how you are treated.

Oh that’s all I have to tell my six foot 3 son to do! Make sure he has one of his White friends with him (he usually does) when he hangs out so police won’t wonder what he’s doing in our part of town.

He was going to walk from school one night down the street to a Waffle House after a football game to meet his other classmates. His friend group is like the rainbow coalition, but this one night he wasn’t sure whether his non-Black friends were going to the game and walking down there with him. We told him if not, just take an Uber. Two Black kids walking down the street were an easy target for harassment. Not by other kids - kids aren’t as stupid as the older generation - they were worried about being harassed by the cops.

Damn. Taking your company public in a multi-billion dollar SPAC deal at 25. I'd barely figured out how to pay rent on time by that age.
Fraud results in higher prices for consumers through higher prices and credit card interest/fees.
The action that triggered these events is that Epic chose to sell some items at a higher price via the Apple store to cover the 30% "tax" and make it clearer to consumers that they are paying a premium to the middleman, or at a lower price via in-game currency (which could be purchased elsewhere) directly in the game.

Offering this consumer choice is what lead to Fortnite being banned.

I feel strongly that Amazon can sell kindles and we're ok, and amazon can sell content and we're ok but having amazon able to sell both kindle and content, and direct IPR outcomes across the platform and the content, is actually pretty bad.

This is not a real substitutable space. Yes, we have other e-readers. No, there is a market dominant platform and that has consequences.

Because book IPR is bound in past practices and publishers as a closed shop, the motivations to fix this here, are mixed.

As readers/consumers I think we are ill-served by the outcome.

I suspect Authors, and authors agents would agree. its not equitable.

Not the least problem is that book IPR is very nationally focussed. Kindle is a trans-national concept. The segmented market is hugely frustrating.
It’s the Uber model: win by bankrupting the competitors who allow employees to make a good living. Amazon contract employees have low pay, no benefits, no union, no protection, no vacation. All the things that Americans are entitled to in exchange for 40 hrs/week.

The Uber model wins by destroying society.

Its definitely true that you can key responses to request information beyond the URLs, but I think theres more to it than this:

- Lots of tools don't allow you to block requests off those additional keys (Google's Manifest v3 for one, Apple's iOS content blocking too)

- In many cases, making consistent replies based off those keys requires additional information privacy tools also try to limit (referrer fields, cookies, etc)

- There is practical, real world value in making things more difficult for trackers / folks sending you stuff you don't want; decisions are made at the margins!

- Ad blockers are common on the web (estimates 10-30% of users!); they're effective bc they work with the grain of the web, and circumvention is deterred (though not prevented) bc there are costs to circumventing adblockers; WebBundles push those costs to zero. Again, decisions are made at the margins
Can we remove Thiel Fellow from the title ?

It's kind of annoying that startups are being defined by which investor did or didn't write a cheque.

Founders deserve the credit for their startup's success not the VCs.
For just part of $350m, you could comfortably bankroll 20 small businesses to effectively create the dynamic you wanted. Couple that with some drawcards to lure tourists across, free travel, etc. That would've worked.
