Very true, which is why a smart merchant won't push their luck by abusing their customers.

Turns out a lot of them, such as the NYT, aren't that smart.
The way it was explained to me, those are cultural practices that require specific items (instruments, spices, tools, specific plants) that they may not have had access to. Or those require time/opportunity to teach.
Hair was something that was consistently there.
I may be mistaken, this is just one person's opinion, but I thought it was a really interesting explanation for the importance given to hair and the protectiveness some people feel over those styles. It was also a perspective that never occurred to me until my friend brought it up.
Sounds like Infrastructure as Code to me. Shame it didn't catch on.
Then they shouldn't have become that large to begin with.
Sure, but those laws don't require 2FA (maybe they should) and Robinhood is far from the only institution that doesn't require it. A startling lot still think 'state your name, SSN/PIN/ or account number and birthday over the telephone' is sufficient.
Our libel and slander laws say otherwise.
That's not why Meta failed. Meta failed because their product was garbage.
Hardware is often a lot more capital intensive, harder to get to an MVP, and, these days, often requires software in addition to hardware.

In the US, as long as you notify the bank within 60 days of receiving a statement that has fraudulent transactions, your maximum liability is $500, and that goes down substantially if you notify the bank promptly of a lost/stolen card, or if the card was not lost in the first place[0]. So yes, the bank really would[1] just compensate you for that, provided you notice the fraud within 2-3 months of it occurring (depending on how quickly you get a bank statement).

Edit: You may still be on the hook for overdraft fees from e.g. authorized payments, and it may take some time for the bank to indemnify you, which is why the conventional wisdom is that CCs are safer than debit cards from a fraud perspective.

>Regulation is simply more efficient and effective.

And that efficiency and effectiveness benefit an elite few. If people continue to "wake up" globally, becoming increasingly empowered by technology and democratizing philosophies, they will come to the logical conclusion that they can "vote" with their currency. Companies will definitely fucking pay attention if people stop buying their shit.

For example, I've taken the "buy local as possible" ethic to its logical extreme, realizing for example that I have to make compromises for things like consumer electronics. "The real world", as you say. But I think it's defeatist to just buy the cheapest junk you can afford in complete disregard of its means and origin of manufacture unless that's the only solution.

Just today, I was shopping around where to buy Sid Meier's Memoirs book since I just learned about it today on HN. I could elect the easy, lazy, one-world-ruled-by-Bezos path and click Amazon to save a few cents and get it delivered a day less, or I could go the slightly less convenient but more positive route of Indiebound.
"attributes" are "generic" properties of relations.

So for example the union operator can take two different relations that have the same columns but different rows and create a new relation.

In this binary operation that takes two different relations.... the attributes of one relation (the columns) is indeed the attributes of the other relation.

See here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/basic-operators-in-relational-...

Look for "union" in the link above.

>Union on two relations R1 and R2 can only be computed if R1 and R2 are union compatible (These two relation should have same number of attributes and corresponding attributes in two relations have same domain)

It's the same thing for unary operations like select. A select expression can operate on different relations providing that the relations have the relevant attributes.

Data engineering. I do backend/web things in my free time which I find more more but I would hate to do it for a job full time. DE lets me play around with large datasets with massive machines I normally wouldn't be able to.
Or option 3: apple is HUGE, in all respects: physical space, people with access, code base, etc. etc. and they already have plenty of teams in place, but a bug bounty program is a cheap supplemental. In which case paying out more for your bug bounty program than you pay your real teams would be really weird.
is there any official implementation?
I don’t think stopping automatic payments automatically cancels the subscription. It just stops the money flow, but keeps you liable for the payments.

It means the company has to make an effort to get money flowing again, though. Many will know that’s not worth it and stop the service instead.

That was exactly my thinking. So the argument is that the minimum wage should keep pace with the cost of living. We, as a society, need to help those who were less fortunate than us, and it make sense to make an appeal to compassion.

This article is trying to argue something else entirely. That we as a society are collectively screwing those less fortunate. The productivity has gone up, and the gains from the productivity go to the rich rather than the poor. While this might be true in principle, this article fails to provide the evidence, as the entire premise is flawed.
It's actually not vague and wasn't meant to be insulting - the prefrontal cortex doesn't finish developing in healthy adult humans until around the age of 25 with females developing a little earlier. This area of the brain, particularly the lateral frontal pole, is responsible for long term planning and decisionmaking, it's also one of the latest developing parts of the brain that's involved in decisionmaking.

What I'm getting at is that it's ridiculous to try to argue that a 17-18 year old's abilities to plan and make decisions around the future are on par with the abilities of a 25+ year old. The average age of enlistment is 20-21 with a lower bounds of 17.

I'm not arguing that the military doesn't provide _lots_ of opportunities to people or that people only enlist for the benefits (the best I could find was a RAND Corp survey predicting likelihood of choosing enlisting of working or going to college), I'm arguing that it's shameful that we aren't able to provide similar opportunities without putting young people, who are at a disadvantage when calculating the risk involved, in shitty situations.

Ok, that makes sense.
I used es as my login shell for over 20 years, until I switched to elvish a couple years ago. I only gave up on it due to some signal handling problem that I never managed to figure out. Other than that, however, it gave me all the flexibility and power I wanted, and no nasty surprises.
Right but for all we know those games could suck. I hope they don't but we don't know.
The law is part of my point. It's how we as a society limit free speech in places where it's damaging to other people.

Git is a database. It's designed for storing the changes made to files over time.

But hey, if there's a different kind of database that you think would be better here, I'd be fascinated to see it. Just make sure that it can

1. handle major structural changes to the files being tracked (e.g. JSON schema revisions)

2. store and retrieve these changes as efficiently as git

3. do the above with as little work required by the user

Good luck!
This is the ending. Quote:

"The world has since standardised on SQL, and the dreams of an alternate history exists only in the heads of those who had a hand in the early database wars. It was simply a quirk of history that System R was built within IBM, the single most powerful company in the computer industry at the time; it was a quirk that the engineers who built System R came up with a fiddly language interface as an afterthought, and it was a quirk that IBM then took that language and pushed it to become a standard … one that has lasted till today.

Of course, there was a silver lining to the whole saga. Stonebraker had forked the Ingres codebase in 1982 to create his company. Defeated by the bruising database wars of the 80s, he returned to Berkeley in 1985, and started a post-Ingres database project. Naturally, he named that database post-gres — as in, after Ingres.

And thus PostgreSQL was born."

I was trying to figure what you meant. I think I have an inkling now -- let me know if this is correct. Your quibble is with the fact the implication here is that since SQL won, Stonebraker jumped on the SQL bandwagon and created a SQL database, when in fact, he didn't -- he merely created Postgres, which ran on QUEL and didn't have SQL until much later.

I think the author made a stylistic choice to omit that detail to drive home a point, but even so nothing was said that was non-factual.

Considering that there are many compilations of the evidence that Trump lies more than past presidents and that he lies about matters of national security, public health, climate science, and election security, I find your position absurd.
Many startups are on their deathbed before finally succeeding. A famous example is Fred Smith, FedEx founder, gambling the company's last $5k, in order to come up with $24k for a deadline[1]. Had the cards come up differently, or a political wind had made gambling illegal, FedEx would have failed, and someone would have been able to say that logistics was "a hard market to succeed or even just stay alive in", and even be correct! The casino (or lack thereof) would have been a "convenient scapegoat". But it doesn't change the fact that having the chance to have these kinds of lucky turnarounds seem to play a pivotal role in a lot of success stories.

Inflammatory media pieces are probably part of the problem if we're talking polarization, as enjoyable as it might be to relish in the concept of a "punchable face".
I think the previous poster's use of the phrase "reach into your package" was a bit colorful. You're never actually modifying the internal code of a library. You're only extending a generic function from a library to work on your own custom type. So that extension only affects code that uses your new custom type. It's akin to using class inheritance in OOP languages.
That is an incorrect conclusion.

Apple apologised that the language of App Store guidelines wasn’t clear enough. The policy in question hasn’t been changed.

The changes to App Store guidelines were announced in June, before the situation with Wordpress. Those changes were published in August.

Wordpress changed their app to follow the policy by removing the mention of their premium service.

Sadly, the Verge doesn’t make any of it clear.

Came here to say that. If your system relies on an external system like someone's email, and that gets breached, your system has been breached. You don't get to brag that the successful attack was indirect; most of them are.
I will have to agree. The tarrif war accelerated their demise; but there product was far from ready. Infact the CEO of Meta said at some point said that employees will be required to shift from monitors to using Meta and they werent able to reach that goal because their tech (or AR in general) wasnt there
He wrote as much, it's at the end of the essay.
> Sure, not every homeless person is white, but the majority are. Trying to pressure writers into adding forced "diversity" due to wokeness is ridiculous.

I agree.

In order to get writers to include black homeless people, they would have to write stories about black neighborhoods which is already a stretch.

Just including a smattering of black homeless people in a show about predominantly middle-class whites show would look like simple racisms.
How can you make a list of failed yc companies and not mention homejoy?

$66m raised, bad operations, bas unit economics, lawsuits and an abrupt shutdown.

All of that after being the calley darling for so long.
Hmm, yeah. "You should write this way, and not that way" says that "this way" is morally superior to "that way". That's classism in culture telling you to not be classist in terms of economics.
I do this for FDA databases. Great to keep track of competitors and new product categories. Internal repo though.

Public companies are a pain in the arse. I'd prefer not answering to shareholders.

One of my maxims is that "human imagination is remixed of subset of reality". The creatures of our fairy tales (centaurs, faeries, elves, orc, etc) are incredibly lame compared to the magnificent breadth of diversity we find in nature when we look.

We can only dream of the wonders we'll find on other worlds.

> They receive high salaries in anticipation of their doing a good job, and if they don't they're removed.

When they get removed, they often receive golden parachutes even if they seriously effed up the company.

This can't be explained by return on equity. I guess it can be explained by bargaining power or cronyism, or perhaps other things I'm not thinking of.
It's probably optional for Vapor nodes to save transactions. Most useful for auditing requirements, I guess.

The more compelling use case is for clients to cache the receipts of particular transactions so they can replay them on other services. For example, if the user decides to migrate their data to a competing service.

Also, the receipts act as proof of tampering (or lack thereof), since they are signed by the Vapor node.
I don't know when you last tried to cancel anything, but if you cite the court case from 2017 on this, pretty much every service is very quick to accept your cancellation via email ;)
I've built production software being shipped to pharmaceutical companies and used in FDA submissions using Julia (pumas.ai) because it is quite mature in the field of modeling and simulation in comparison to other languages. The stability of the language along with the ability to easily get fast code is the main reason, and it's the reason why if you go to something like the American Conference on Pharmacology (ACoP) you'll hear lots of mentions of Julia.
Ye. These "You can't guess how 'random actor' looks now" and then a picture of some drug addict and not the actor. The actor in the ad is nowhere to be seen if you click the ad. I actually got fooled to click because I couldn't believe that the actor got like that and it looked like an article on the "honorable" newssite ...
I didn't realize that, you are likely correct! I could start such a company in my state, but I'd have to be very careful with jurisdictions. In practice most companies I'm familiar with have official policies banning political discrimination across the board, which makes sense considering the importance of California in tech.

's/exists/exits'
You don't believe business leaders have the capacity to separate their personal beliefs from corporate policy for a company that serves over 300 million people across the world?
I don't think people are doubting their existence, but rather if they could staff a whole floor with engineers of that caliber anywhere but in these cities.

Partly because, as you said it yourself, a lot of great engineers simply move there.
in my experience, if anybody you follow ever interacts with anything political, that quickly drowns out any other interesting content in the recommendations. If you exclusively follow people who exclusively post and interact with programming content, then maybe your recs will be okay. but all it takes is one person in your network to interact with one other topic to poison your recommendations for good.
Your comment comes across as smug and condescending. Not to mention that moving to another platform doesn't change the secondary and tertiary effects that mass censorship has on society, and therefore you, as a platform user or not.
I'm not sure if this a good thing or a bad thing?
They are far more interested in bringing media and privacy features to Safari. That’s part of their business. Exactly like making web apps is part of Google’s. Hence, the difference.
Teams work cross-functionally, which means that in addition to the org-chart there are informal power dynamics between groups and individuals in those groups.
Again, you don't understand what that means. They are a private entity - "censorship" has no meaning there. You have exactly 0 rights on the twitter platform, as it's not a government entity.
Silicon Valley tech workers were sold on a dream of “changing the world” rather than building any other normal business, so I would not expect any different really.
It's also not difficult to sue a company for unfair hiring/firing practices.

But if the employee is via third party, there is no hiring or firing involved, limiting the liability of the first company.
I remember seeing that Buttermilk company arguing with people on their Facebook ads.
Kroger buys wholesale, and sets the prices in it's store independent of what it paid (presumably they want a profit, but it could also be a loss leader). And there is no lock-in for a grocery store (i.e. I can buy the identical product elsewhere). This is a false equivalency.
Per Durov in his Telegram channel:

> Apple released a statement (https://www.gazeta.ru/tech/news/2020/10/09/n_15056407.shtml) saying they didn't want us to take down the 3 channels (https://t.me/durov/135) run by the Belarusian protestors, but just specific posts "disclosing personal information."

He goes on to clarify that the request effectively amounts to asking that the channels be deleted, but that restricting them on iOS should be sufficient.

Regardless of your take, at the moment, the following statement is false:

> Apple forces Telegram to Close Channels Run by Belarus Protestors

For now:

1. Apple claims that wasn't their request.

2. The channels won't be closed.

3. Telegram won't be removed from the App Store.

"Apple forces Telegram to Close Channels" makes it sound as though the channels are, in fact, being closed, which isn't the case.

It's one thing to call Apple out on their behavior here, but it's another matter entirely to scare users into thinking that the channels will be deleted--they won't, assuming you're not on iOS. If you're in one of those channels, statistically, you're probably not on iOS anyway.
No idea what you’re talking about. Someone comes to me with a dumb idea. I tell them it’s a dumb idea and am not nice about it. If they are a minority group they could feel that I am acting this way to them because I’m a x-ist. But it’s actually because I’m an asshole.

It is clear as day that the views of the CEO and the Twitter platform has influenced the policies and biases against certain groups and enforced bans or shadow-bans on certain users and flags tweets from certain users.

If they themselves are compromised or are part of a scandal, they will ban anyone else from spreading this information to try covering it up.

I've just learned SQL by doing. You're not including extensions here like stored procs and such right?

I have a lot of "where my_func(x, y, z) = 1" type where clauses, so seem that would do what you say, no?
I believe, on the basis of evidenced behaviour, that that is not the case, no. They will consistently feel morally compelled or externally pressured by peers to put their finger on the scale.
Western democracies have done an absolute terrible job distinguishing between the claim of "It's a problem if all our Tech is Chinese because it puts us at their mercy", "It's a problem that our open economy has to compete with subsidized chinese competitors" and "It's a problem that this specific Chinese company is, as we speak, using the information from their operations in the West to empower Chinese Military/Intelligence".

For the first point, I have similar concerns about US tech. For the second point China isn't the only country intervening in the free market, and on the third point I'm literally unconvinced that's happening and people often cite evidence of point 1 as evidence of point 3.

>> the USA treated it with much more respect ...

the looming threat of communism from Russia and China played an important role in US's post-war policy in Japan and Japan's immediate post war recovery. While Japan was allowed to stay united as one, the Korean peninsula was divided, though the territory was never part of the WW2 theater. The Korean civil war led by the communist North likewise boosted Japan's quick recovery.
In which developed economy is it easier to fire employees than in the U.S?
Agreed, being democratic seems to be generally a good practice for employers. Especially those that need to compete for talent.
Yeah, the ads were pretty intrusive in this article. Still got us all to engage, though! Some content marketer is happy today.
This is a lot like Framefree.[1] That was developed around 2005 at Kerner Optical, which was a spinoff from Lucasfilm. The system finds a set of morph points in successive keyframes and morphs between them. This can do slow motion without jerkyness, and increase frame rate. Any modern GPU can do morphing in real time, so playback is cheap. There used to be a browser plug-in for playing Framefree-compressed video.

Compression was expensive, because finding good morph points is hard. But now hardware has caught up to doing it in real time on cheap hardware.

As a compression method, it's great for talking heads with a fixed camera. You're just sending morph point moves, and rarely need a new keyframe.

You can be too early. Kerner Optical went bust a decade ago.
