Those wires are usually expensive because in many places you have to move tangible money around as a result. In Chile in the 2010's Banco de Chile and its counterparties (including Banco BICE) had vaults of their own in their counterparty's complex just so they could square up all the money that moved between their customers on account of instant transfers.

Sure, when Alice pays Bob, Bob pays Charlie, and Charlie pays Alice a small amount of money a lot of it cancels out. But not all, and over millions of transactions one bank can end up owing another a lot of money. You have to cash out at some point, as banks hate trusting people with money for no interest. So banks then resort to armored vehicles full of cash and gold bars so they can square up.

When they're moving money they balance the cost of additional security against the risk of loss and that's what gets reflected in the bill for the bank wire.
Most is 51%. If PHP was bad from 1994 to 2002, when "A Fractal of Bad Design" was written (18 years), and is OK now (assuming it got good immediately after that post was written 8 years ago), it has been bad for most of its existence by simple arithmetic.
Just like having a trained bear chauffeur you around. Except people see that as a bad idea.
Edit: before downvoting the comment I'm replying to - this is actually a pretty well known scholarly thing - not a fringe conspiracy theory. The British created a legal system that crystallized caste into law using their own interpretation of caste and class, and that system did not reflect whatever existed before. That's not to say they invented caste, but the modern form definitely was implemented by them.

It definitely is. They made it rigid (and potentially even made up parts of it - it's hard to tell exactly since the brits kept the records...) and enforced it in law as a part of their usual divide and conquer/put a a selected minority on top so they're loyal to you strategy (like [edit: Belgians] likely did in Rwanda). And now you've got a ton of Indians parroting stuff about caste that's not even obviously a an original pre-colonial part of Indian culture in any obvious way.

Even the section in the vedas about castes/varnas coming from different parts of the body doesn't have 100% scholarly consensus of being original[0]. It's a mess.

Hillary Clinton supported getting rid of DST. Vote people into power who prioritize making the shift.
The fundamental principle of Human Rights is that they are "Universal and Inalienable". They by definition apply equally to everyone, everywhere, at all times.

I'm all for respecting cultures and traditions, right until it gets in conflict with the above. We live in a global world and it is a good thing that some basic fundamental values should be expected from everyone.

I would cite Japan's "tradition" of cutting kids from one of their parents after a divorce, thus not respecting the UN's Child Rights Convention, as an sallient case in point that it's not OK to just let circumventions go on the basis of "it's their culture".
My suggestion would be to consider safety-critical software engineering: What is the difference between an autonomous driving prototype and product? From there, venture towards process stuff like ISO26262, SPICE, MISRA-C, etc. Students should learn what the purpose is behind these process standards. It might lead to interesting discussions for what use cases you want to employ how much process/tool overhead.
And as a Greek citizen I hope you guys can deal with your nationalist side and work with everyone around you. The situation in our borders is ridiculous right now.
Their latency is high but they are massively parallel. There's no practical limit on global throughput.

To get low latency on dollars/gold you have to go with centralized digital representations, but Bitcoin has to do the same to get more than 7 tx/sec.

I might still be a fan if that were the only option, but with other blockchains eliminating this restriction I have a hard time seeing the long-term value proposition of Bitcoin specifically.

I'd like to keep my job, so I can't say the name. It is in the financial services industry.

There is discrimination on sex. You can also see that there are very few people of different ethnic backgrounds in positions of leadership. I've had other people with more tenure than me state that if you have specific qualities, you are likely to go farther (white/Irish decent, male, catholic).

Also, what we are talking about is the discriminatory stratification of a group (company or country).
Why not? If I went to turkey and start to show everybody cartoon of muhamed I would probably be stoned. Why we cannot deport people who symphatize with genocide?

Honestly India needs a fresh start at the moment. The baggage of caste system has deprived millions of people for centuries. Most people will prefer to live in a society where they are treated equal in favor of giving up their caste identity that have descriminted their community for centuries.
Are there any known problems or difficulties with them? I guess the materials science aspect is extremely difficult as it is already a huge problem in conventional designs...
A thread that shows the membership to higher castes or the lack of.

WARNER: They patted his shoulders to see if he was wearing a white thread that only Brahmins wear.

CORNELIUS: So with you not even knowing, they will try to pat your shoulder and try to see - the finding this thread.

WARNER: Was he a Brahmin like them?

CORNELIUS: In other ways, they will call you for a swim, you know? Hey. Let's go for a swim - because everybody takes their shirt off. And all they know who are wearing threads, who are not.

Hinduism is divided into four societies, Brahmins- the highest, Kshatriya- The nobles and warriors, Vaishyas- The traders, Shudras- Traditionally artisans and labourers also untouchables. The first three Varnas (as were called) had the rights to pursue Veda, where as the forth were considered very low and weren’t even allowed to enter temple.

I'm not sure the number of those should be a consideration, as you probably only need one or two of each. The quality or fitness for a particular purpose does matter, and I'll confess to not being up-to-date enough about that kind of software to make a good case for any particular package. They certainly exist for Python, and I can recall using Satchmo and Django CMS some time ago. Those satisfied the MVP in an afternoon criterion for a developer already familiar with them.
Slavery was also a cultural say of life in America many places all over the world. There were probably secondary effects. But that doesn't matter because the practice is and always was, objectively evil.
Clicked on the link looking for the swimming pool photo: https://pics.livejournal.com/igor113/pic/001e551p

It's fascinating that they thought about a swimming pool in a submarine, and also a galley and toilet in SU-34, another very fascinating Soviet design.

The US used to have something like this in the Regulus, their intended launcher (the Grayback-class) essentially had hangars.

The great advantage of SLBMs is that the vertical mounting and a good enough launch sequence means you don't have to surface to launch: https://youtu.be/sUlXty69-Y8
Proving exactly how effective masks are, and why, is a luxury we don't have right now. We can't ethically do the experiments that would give conclusive results. Arguing about the details takes up energy that could be used to keep us safe in other ways. Wear them just in case. Do not let them be your only defense. Cover your eyes. Don't talk to people up close when you're wearing a mask if you can help it. Breathe through your nose. Don't shout at each other about god knows what like the dumb ladies in the laundromat standing on either side of me the other day, putting me in their microbial crossfire.
I don't doubt this sort of discrimination happens, but is there some sort of data to suggest this is more than isolated? I'm not Indian but rather Bangladeshi (the low-caste Indians who converted to Islam to get out of the caste system, lol). And I've met the occasional proud Brahmin, but in decades of living here I've never heard of caste discrimination being some sort of systemic thing. And yet I've seen like dozens of articles on this all of the sudden.

I'm not endorsing the idea of "isolated incidents" in general! But you can look at data to show that disparities in how certain groups are treated--e.g. employers being less willing to call back candidates with "Black" names on their resume. But extrapolating from the Cisco lawsuit to a narrative about a larger problem in Silicon Valley can have ugly consequences. It can be flipped around to broadly paint Indians who are in leadership positions in Silicon Valley in a bad light.
This pic looks like the real deal although I've seen Soviet Dialog clones traveling in eastern Europe.

It does seem to be an export variant however, as the Swedish pulse dial system had the number 0 first:

As an anecdote this is why the emergency number in Sweden used to be 90 000, in the dark or in a smoke-filled room you'd be able to feel your way to the last number(9), and then pull four short times from 0 to the finger stop to get emergency service.

I am not willing to justify his actions. His failure has been big and he is not capable of fixing anything. That alone is a great starting point to not vote for him (and I haven't even gone into how destructive his 4 years were).

> Nowadays many people of all the castes have started using caste neutral surnames.

As someone very ignorant of that whole issue, if it's that simple, why doesn't the lower caste(s) always do that? Why "nowadays" only "many" do?
In small towns, even?

Trondheim is 180k or something. Not an issue at all.
I was only a tourist in Amsterdam, but in general, walking around there at night wasn't an issue and cops didn't harass nor follow me. Folks (other tourists) were honestly worse during the day.

I've been pulled over and asked what I was doing out at night in the states, and multiple times got stopped to ask if I needed a lift because I was a woman. (seriously). I had folks worried about my safety... walking home a mile in a town of 3000 - leaving at 10:00pm.
The option for immigrants to change their name at Ellis Island long ago existed in large part to combat bringing 'old world' prejudices into the then new USA, nothing has changed...

Assault is abuse.

It doesn't matter whether you assault someone with an open or closed hand.
The Roma are much closer to a caste, as far as I know. I mean in terms of their history & behaviour (for want of a better word): the borders of who is & isn't a traveller have been more porous over time, while I think the Roma have been about as isolated as any other Indian caste.

(But not an expert, and don't have data to hand.)
Sure, software and hardware come together. However the price of software should be factored in the price of the product itself (hardware + software). I am paying for both to own the product. If they issue a software update that makes better use of hardware, it means they failed to release good software to begin with (ofc perfect software doesn't exist). Now imagine if they found a way to increase battery life just with software, and asked you to pay for it.. kinda not fair right?

I suspect (knowing the area like I do) and from some of the maps he showed, he's on ~2acres. Maybe a bit less/more. There's a ton of these small subdivisions springing up in the Ann Arbor area. Houses tend to be in the 750k-1.5m range and are usually plopped on an acre or so. Its country-ish living.

I'm not surprised at the slow Internet speeds and options though. Michigan has pretty bad rules for municipalities that want to offer Internet service and the density in these areas are too low to make financial sense for Comcast and phone companies to roll out any sort of advanced service.

What really surprises me is that his little subdivision didn't have cable service. Almost all of them I'm aware of have paid for Comcast to roll service into the neighborhood and swallowed the 50k or whatever cost. Then they just built that connection cost into the price of the property when they sold it on.
Many people in the US and elsewhere dont even know what that is. Know whats way easier? Holding a global non-inflatable reserve currency and forgetting the rest of the BS.
Call it a mutational disorder if you will, I think I'm nocturnal mutant and proud of it.

Use of the the word "disorder" throughout is highly retrograde and silly. It's part of the human genome and like all genetic mutation it's value is relative to selective pressure. But why should we not value individuals who have nocturnal tendencies as strategic advantage in the spectrum of human ability?

Personality I must have inherited an extreme form of this mutation from my grandmother, who always seemed very proud of her nightowlishness. We often encountered eachother happily up to something or other past 2am.

On the other hand the outside world has been a challenge. I'm not really awake until 11am. Highschool was pure hell. I was always late to class and always in trouble for it. In college I worked night jobs and took late classes. A few times I made up my mind to let go of making myself wake up or go to bed at certain times and let my natural cycle happen. Within two weeks I was very happily awake until almost dawn every night and up at 2ish.
Except politics isn't "exciting" due to honest debates between honorable adversaries who recognize each others' legitimacy and respect the integrity of the political system, it's "exciting" because of scandal, propaganda, outrage and violence. Driven by conspiracy theories about satanic pedophiles and new world order death camps. We've descended from Lincoln-Douglas to the juvenile circus between Biden and Trump.

And the main reason for this, in my opinion, is having "change" be embodied in a single demagogue figure elected to force their party's agenda through at any cost, rather than having "change' understood to be an effect of long-term and widespread engagement with the system at multiple levels.

Change shouldn't be the president's job anyway, that's what the legislature is for, and people wanting change should engage more with local and state politics. The executive keeps the system running, which implicitly means keeping the status quo.

A lot of that is along linguistic lines, driven by two factors:

- South india overall had a Dravidian movement denouncing “Brahmanism” in the mid 1950s

- Specific to Tamil Nadu, Indian government’s connivance in Ceylon’s Tamil movement invited the wrath of a large sect of Tamils against New Delhi

Alright. The trick is to not use Loom virtual threads. I will say Java's Loom is ruthlessly elegant in this way.

But won't you run into issues where you don't want to call certain code from that UI thread? Isn't that "code coloring"?
I think that's the point
At least there is a free Community Edition now. It is one release behind (so doesn't have the latest goodness, eg the LSP server for code completion), but it does let you build apps for non-commercial use or pre-income startups for free, using Delphi/C++, the VCL, etc. Ie, if you want to encourage people to use tools like Delphi, it is much more open to indie devs than it used to be.

> is there some sort of data to suggest this is more than isolated prejudices

Nobody seems to ask this question about the apparently rampant racism in the US.
Nah, sorry, that is no excuse. He made these decisions. This is the legacy he intended, with his own volition.

If you do something like go on national press and unapologetically endorse spousal abuse (which absolutely invites and encourages other abusers and leads to real harm), and you double down on this and never apologize or retract it, then you absolutely deserve for it to be constantly brought up as a defining event in your life.

“Let’s honor someone who did something despicable just cuz that’s “respectful” and we like his movies” is totally not OK.
Unless they explicitly tell that you do not own the opposite should be the default
We humans are terrible at predicting the behavior of other humans, we have unconscious biases and our own behavioral patterns that regularly cause us to misinterpret data and make the wrong decision. Quite honestly an objective AI that also has faster reaction times is likely to be a better driver than any human, it’s just a matter of training data.

Note: I’m not going to say Tesla isn’t being at least moderately reckless with its rollout of self-driving features, just that I firmly believe even a less than ideal AI with good enough training and sensor data can trounce the safety record of human drivers.
May GOD Bless you for your striving!
It actually can be quite difficult as school start time isn't independent of many other schedules, including school buses picking up other grades starting later. So, no, they can't necessarily. Kids going to school in the dark was one of the major reasons cited for not renewing the all-year DST experiment. I suppose you could find a way to change or just give them flashlights but, in any case, it was a public issue in the past.
The Ford/Lincoln/Rivian SUV was canceled (or all eat postponed) earlier this year because we're in the middle of a global pandemic. Ford still has an ownership stake in Rivian but they're also building some EVs without Rivian (Mustang Mach-E, Transit, F150, etc). And Ford also has an agreement with VW for building vehicles based on the MEB platform.
I have a hunch that we will discover (not invent) the strong AI not in Neural Networks, but in Swarm logic. Infinitely complex systems can emerge from simple units multiplied exponentially. I still can't stop being amazed by crazy thing they have discovered in Conway's Game of Life.

The thing is, people already know that. Bringing those things up is really just being a downer.. peeing in the punchbowl.
I have argued this same point on HN before and even an Indian didn't believe me. It's very deep rooted misunderstanding
Actually it worked out pretty well for Kerala. It's #1 in India in terms of HDI and all most all human related metrics in India. The state with lowest income inequality. And nobody descriminates you on basis of caste in day to day life. Which I can't say is true for many northern states.

That old guy you see in Skyfall who helps him setup the home alone traps was supposed to be Connery, but it didn’t happen.

This isn’t really surprising though, Connery stopped associating himself with bond many years ago, so it’s was unlikely he would ever agree to do a cameo.
