If everything is political, including building a table ("because people can sit at a table") or breathing ("it's literally a life and death situation"), then "it's political" has no useful meaning. If a descriptive term doesn't serve as a means of distinguishing things, it's not a descriptive term.
> what does that mean for the new company that represents that worse part? I can obviously see the upside for the business that jettisons the dead weight.

As someone who used to do a bit of recreational "special situations" investing, I can say with some confidence that counterintuitively the worse part is often the better part, and the "dead weight" often soars after it is jettisoned vs the "good part" flatlining. Not always but it can definitely happen.

The reason for this is logically apparent when you think about the second-order effect of people's opinions on a stock valuation. Say IBM has two halves: "Cloud IBM" which is funky and "Boring IBM" which is everything else. As one company the valuation is the weighted average of everything everyone thinks about the funky part and the boring part put together and is therefore fairly boring overall.

So when you do a spinoff the funky cloud part should soar, right? Wrong. Or not always, anyway.

What often happens when you split a business into a good part and a "bad" part is that all the overinflated expectations of investors are concentrated in the funky part so at the time of the split it has a very high valuation and the boring part is massively oversold and undervalued. So after the split the boring part performs well even if it just phones it in because expectations are so low whereas the funky part needs to do amazingly just to meet the expectations of people who are already in the stock at a valuation that is too high.

>Then we have this whole dating thing entirely owned by one media hegemon.

This scares the hell out of me that one mega conglomerate with it's algorithms has control over your procreation and deep knowledge of your sex life, all linked to your real identity.

Personally, I have no dog in this fight since I gave up on online dating and got good at IRL dating(pre-COVID) but I am aware of plenty of men willing to throw their cash and intimate data at these corporations for the hope of meeting someone.

Am I alone here to worry about this or am I just too paranoid?

If it were up to me, I would regulate the information dating apps collect to the same standards as patients' national healthcare information is handled(in the EU; I don't know about the US/UK but I heard it's not all rozy there).
No, they don't just random sample the base trees and hope for a better result. Their "actual work" is providing a 80 page proof for their improvement.

Often, the “good” part is actually the high-risk, high-growth potential part and the “bad” part is the low-risk, solid returns part.
Thing is that people try to look for conspiracies where this is probably just an honest mistake.

This is true.

But what the comment is advocating for is systemic change/disruption. In that context, the whole complex (bank settlement, chargebacks, insolvency) are a single thing. There are always reasons for things being the way they are, but that doesn't mean that things can't change.

As the OP says, payments move bits around. There is no fundamental reason why this should represent such a big slice.

Besides technical challenges, and whether or not these can be overcome... I think the greater hurdle is entrenched structure and entrenched interests. Stripe is, at this point, a part of that. They have an overwhelming microeconomic interest in payments remaining a large "tax."

Imagine an imports "agent." Her job is to get your goods into country X and navigate the labyrinth of rules, chaos, fees and taxes on your behalf. The whole game costs Y. She earns a % of Y. She may have more, and more nuanced complaints about the labyrinth than anyone but... If Y becomes less, she will earn less.

It's quite an interesting world where AMD has one of the 8 cores on a chip-let be a Xilinx FPGA. The only issue is they are not easy enough to program but maybe AMD can get out ahead of Nvidia on this one and define the software stack here in the way Nvidia did with CUDA.
No, because a lot of learners use it as a crutch. I don’t think everything needs to be for everybody. If you want a casual resource, the amount of casual resources is already overwhelming.
Back then we thought it would be the carriers that would be the arbiter of mobile services and not the handset manufacturers.

I remember, before the iPhone, 3 was selling unlimited YouTube streaming (amongst other 3rd party web services) over 3G for a fixed price in at least some European markets.

The major carriers in Japan were already arbitering all sorts of services through each carriers own version of the World Wide Web. Back then, Japans mobile market was seen as being maybe a decade ahead of the rest of the world.

A technology very similar to this plays a plot point in Vernor Vinge's 1992 novel A Fire Upon the Deep.

In his universe, both the interstellar net and combat links between ships are low bandwidth. Hence, video is interpolated between sync frames or recreated from old footage. Vinge calls the resulting video "evocations".
Both links are excellent !
Totally agree.

Being involved with FPGAs for 20+ years now, and Xilinx for the most part of it, I have witnessed the progressive decay of their software quality. The legacy Xilinx tools (Foundation) were far from perfect but at least useable -- and hackable to a degree if you needed to implement workarounds. Those were many times even suggested by Xilinx own employees that were easy to approach and responsive back in the days.

Altera Quartus was always better in terms of project organization and user interface, including their hardware tools. Third party software such as Synplify (before Synopsys bought their maker Synplicity) were light-years ahead, especially on the synthesis introspection and support for design and RTL troubleshooting.

People tend to justify the software quality and vendor lock-in because these are niche markets. I think that is a lame statement. You could tell both Xilinx and Altera, being "fabless hardware companies", treated their software departments as a necessary burden and not a critical part of their business model, which by de facto it was. The software started going downhill, progressively accumulating technical debt while it kept getting even more cryptic and expensive. I think they offshored a significant part of its maintenance in the last decade. Each release fixed bugs but astonishingly introduced very stupid new ones that a minimally decent software verification process should have caught.

Vivado is a mess. You can optimize your workflow digging down deeply with TCL scripts (yikes, its 2020!). However who has the time for learning their badly designed API and fighting with the quirkiness of their tools? I am amazed some of us use it in regulated environments where our tools need to be properly validated. I have had designs that take more than one day to synthesize, map and route. Having being bitten by some bugs and my own errors dealing with the cumbersome IDE, I always painfully go through all the logs of each step, and also many times recreate the project and rebuild just to check if the output is reproducible.

We're also building on Terraform so this kind of integration would be neat! How well are GitHub Actions supported? We've been dancing with secrets there too.
I also found this "amalgamate" script on GitHub, intended to allow creating such amalgamations from C/C++ projects:

https://github.com/rindeal/Amalgamate

Which seems interesting, however when I tried the FreeType example, there seemed to be some preprocessing issue, such that some function definitions are conditionally excluded even though they are called later. I didn't have the time to find out if this was an issue in the original code or if the amalgamation script introduced it.

In any case, such single-C programs are very useful for quickly testing tools, so having more of them would be great.

Well, I don't know who "these people" are and what exactly they thought, but I don't see why they wouldn't still be skeptical. The announcement promises that "in the near term" all Waymo's rides will be "fully driverless" but in the immediate term they are modifying their cars to go back to rides with a safety driver. So the "near term" will be fully driverless, but right now it's even less drivereless then before.

For myself, I would trust this announcement a lot more if it claimed some new technological breakthrough that enables Waymo to do now something that wasn't possible half a year, or 5 or 10 years ago (specifically, this "something" is level-3 self-driving, as poorly as this is unfortunately defined). I don't see any such claims. The announcement instead reads as so much marketing copy to me, and it is not saying anything that has any practical implications for the technological capabilities of Waymo's cars.
maybe I misread. I went with

Need online payment gateway for erotic stories website
Hi,

For my website storyva [.] com, I need a payment gateway like PayPal, but every financial services provider I checked, have prohibited using them for adult content.
My website is all about erotic and love stories/short stories, and it doesn't have visual content at all, it's only written content.

Could anyone guide me what to do?

Alternate headline: "People With Access to More Information Less Likely to Trust Blindly"

The article references a paper that hasn't yet been peer reviewed either. This isn't much.

"In general, people’s confidence in their leaders declined after getting 3g. However, the size of this effect varied. It was smaller in countries that allow a free press than in ones where traditional media are muzzled, and bigger in countries with unlimited web browsing than in ones that censor the internet. This implies that people are most likely to turn against their governments when they are exposed to online criticism that is not present offline. The decline was also larger in rural areas than in cities."

They bang on the 3g access, but gloss over the rural vs urban part. It could be reframed to something like "people who are isolated from information are less likely to question their assumptions about their government."
> I never believed the whole "change the world" SV nonsense, and always knew it was nothing more than cynical marketing.

It certainly is.

But I like to believe, there is an underlying reasonable philosophy behind it.
Every company tries to make a difference, that is its value proposition. If your value proposition has a negative social impact, it is not a sustainable business model. Legislation will eventually render your business untenable. (Even if it takes centuries or decades like tobacco, or fossil fuel).

So, considering your social impact makes business sense.

To quote Paul Drucker:

"Responsibility for social impacts is a management responsibility — not because it is a social responsibility, but because it is a business responsibility. The ideal is to make elimination of such an impact into a business opportunity. But wherever that cannot be done, the design of the appropriate regulation with the optimal trade-off balance—and public discussion of the problem and promotion of the best regulatory solution — is management’s job."

This may result in applications trying to keep you hooked in, addicted, or having unnecessarily long processes.

Subscriptions make sense for dynamic content, and service. Fantastical and 1Password are examples of subscription-based platforms which were once buy to play (term from games industry).

However if you self host the data (you probably can and should) or sell your soul to the devil (Google etc) you paid for hosting. So a subscription for the software doesn't make sense from customer PoV. You essentially don't pay for service, compared to Disney+, World of Warcraft, or Netflix.
If such a big company is priced so low it may signal an opportunity. It is similar with GE now. But there is always the risk of its price continuing down. AMD could have failed to deliver better products and continued to struggle. You won the bet, congrats, but don't think you will be so lucky with other stocks. And don't forget to actually sell the AMD to realize profits at some point. Unrealized profit is, well, unrealized.
> A nitpick, perhaps, but isn't that three orders of magnitude?

Perhaps the example was a best-case, and the usual improvement is about 10x. (That or 'order of magnitude' has gone the way of 'exponential' in popular use. I don't think I've noticed that elsewhere, though.)

Economics is an objective science, every bit as scientific as medicine. Economists have by and large concluded that a market unencumbered by restrictions on mutually voluntary economic interactions and protective of people's right to their property is the most effective at raising productivity.

That the conclusions of economists strengthens the case for free markets does not suggest that economists are ideological, or biased. That assumption is simply your own biased and conspiratorial view of the world, that assumes a vast conspiracy by the capitalist elite to recruit the economics profession into its propaganda campaign.

Like I said, your conspiratorial view of economics/the-free-market is no different than anti-vaxxers' conspiratorial view of medicine/vaccines.

>>There are other ways than profit-driven exploitation that's available to help people out of poverty. They're called cooperation, mutual aid and solidarity.

No, the evidence suggest these other means are comparatively ineffective, as they can't sustain large-scale cooperation. Socialism has an absolutely terrible track record and the economic theory explains why.

>>Without the Free Market Economy, man simply loses all capability to produce and achieve progress.

The market is an emergent system of individuals, property and processes that people collectively create through distributed action, without centralized coordination. It's a phenomenon of unimaginable complexity and effectiveness, that is created by the aggregation of trillions of interlocking actions by billions of unique individuals.

Discarding the market based on an anti-free-market conspiracy theory is the height of folly.

>>If China is removed this "Good News Narrative" falls flat

I quoted you an excerpt from the article that asserts the opposite: that the good news narrative remains even when China is removed from the picture.

>>My assertion was that if China is taken away, the amount of people lifted out of poverty looks very different

Even removing China, which is a clear example of the benefits of protecting market rights, the global poverty rate has declined. Yes the picture is better when you include the world's most populous country, and the number 1 success story of pro-market reforms.

Is that the mental gymnatics you're resorting to to continue your stubborn insistence on dismissing the statistics and maintaining that the case made by economists for free markets is motivated by ideology instead of science?

So Science Fiction Story time, immortal finds it difficult to blend into future less diverse population because their personal characteristics are no longer widely enough found that they can just wander off and go live somewhere else.

The last X is an easy target.

on edit: for anyone unfamiliar with this trope, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem_for_Methuselah or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_from_Earth (both written by Jerome Bixby, but many other examples by Neil Gaiman, etc. available) for easy clarification. One of the common ideas of the trope is that an immortal sooner or later becomes problematic to have in one place, they must wander of people will attempt to experiment on them to figure out the secret of immortality. Of course the second bit of the trope is the wandering immortal leave traces, and more intense searchers after immortality will follow them and attempt capture. If diversity decreases in the future based on present trends the story then becomes that it becomes increasingly difficult for the wandering immortal to wander without everyone being aware of them.
