Eagle Cash makes me think of something related to the World Space Commission[1][2].

But, apparently the US Dept. of the Treasury[3] manages three kinds of payment cards, EZPay, EagleCash, and Navy Cash.

Both the Army and Air Force use EagleCash[4][5].

There may have been some consolidation[6], but EZPay and Navy Cash still seem to have presence[7][8].

Note: previously there were four programs[9], once of which was Marine Cash.

The awful thing is is that when this video was being made, the dangers of Asbestos were already known and had been established decades earlier. Some of the applications don’t even make all that much sense, and are very much a case of trying to foist whatever you’re able to produce onto a gullible public.

Capital owners and governments could conceivably have used the substance in a responsible way without exposing workers and consumers to additional risk, but it would probably have lowered their appetite for spreading it all over the environment if they had borne the costs upfront.

Considering that they used to make vehicle brake linings out of the rotten stuff until the late 20th century, it’s clear that no such attempts were made. Even though the first documented death was in 1906.
Until they move all of their production out of China withdrawing from the Chinese market is impossible.

It doesn't explain what "spaced repetition", "memory", "understanding", or "experiments" are either. It is written for people who already use spaced repetition, and aims to help them improve one aspect: writing prompts. It is not intended as an elementary introduction to spaced repetition, and so it doesn't bother to explain basic concepts.

Your objection is a little like complaining that a computer science textbook aimed at post-grads doesn't bother to explain what a variable is. Some background knowledge is assumed.
I’m ESL, how far should the “thou should pluralize a loanword as it was in the original language” rule go? It seems to be not universal.

I derive close to zero value from bookmarks. The only value they provide is that they appear in the address bar during searches. They are organized in a linear fashion, they require constant maintenance and they are also not immediately accessible often requiring you to open a separate window. Worst of all even if you choose to do something as stupid as manage bookmarks you will now have to have to manage both tabs and bookmarks at the same time.

Tabs? They are easy to organize, easily accessible because they are always visible and they are powerful enough to completely remove the need for bookmarks which makes using bookmarks always inferior because of the downsides of bookmarks.

Now lets get to the actual point:

>Have you ever derived any value from a tab you chose not to close?

I close tabs that I don't need eventually, bookmarks just keep accumulating because there is an easy method to add them, but actually finding or deleting bookmarks is a lot of effort.

The total amount of reported money transacted might be higher for bitcoin but that doesn’t come from contact with the real economy. So that depends on the valuation of bitcoin rather than economic impact.

Hey HN!
What are some things that you've put conscious effort into improving about yourselves, that really paid off in the long term, and most people around you are unlikely to notice the impact of?

Examples:

- Applying stats heuristically to daily life makes you better at dodging scams and identifying opportunities

- Automating things in a non-programming job makes you achieve crazy productivity vs peers

- Being able to type really quickly drastically cuts down time spent on work emails/chats

- Negotiation skill that turns situations in your favor more often than not

Solar energy is dropping in price like a rock, and desalination uses tons of energy. Desalination can run on intermittent energy, storing water in tanks for the periods without sun. So new technologies aren't required, just continuation of existing trends.
Thanks. I had done this a while ago and rechecked it. Found a couple of new ones, but nothing major. I'm thinking of abandoning PyCharm altogether.

Right now restaurants are in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation with the various delivery services out there.

If the restaurants explicitly agree to do business with grubhub and the like, they have to give the delivery service a 10% cut. The delivery service also takes a percentage cut on the customer side. I think there's the expectation that the restaurants keep charging the delivery service the same amount for food being delivered as they charge anyone who orders food from the restaurant and picks it up. This forces restaurants to raise the price for all their customers to pay for that 10% cut.

Have you noticed that the prices for food via delivery are higher than the price for food you pickup? That's not due to the restaurant charging the delivery service a discriminatory price, that's actually the third way that the food delivery service takes a cut.

Now, as a restaurant owner, you look at all these facts and decide that the delivery companies are fleecing you. You decide you'll use the waiters and waitresses you already had on staff to deliver the food to your customers, and you'll charge them something like $5 for delivery. Not really that unreasonable, given the circumstances, right?

Well, what happens in those cases is that the delivery companies will list the restaurant anyways. And they'll offer free delivery. And they'll charge less for your food online than you charge them. They take the financial hit so later they can come to the restaurant owner with the data to show that they really need the delivery service after all. They'll undercut your business to get a greater market share. They've got lots of VC money to burn, that you, as a restaurant owner, can't compete with.

Through all of this, customers will leave negative reviews on Yelp, for the restaurant, when the wrong food is delivered, or their food is cold, or their order was delivered to the wrong place. The reputation of the restaurant takes a hit due to the third party's shoddy delivery people.

That's what this law is attempting to address.
It's not like we're starting from scratch though, we already have companies and people with ample experience in this field. Not to say that it's not a huge bar to clear or that I don't expect massive delays but I think it's a good thing overall.
I haven't looked into the other screw ups, but I basically agree with everything in the snippet of the complaint that appears in the article, except one thing:

"it should remain on the App Store as a matter of free speech"

Free speech is a matter for the government, not for private business decisions... If you as an employee are pushing back against your employer because of "free speech", you're going to have a bad time (i.e. risk losing the job, as it happened).

That said, I'm curious about this Guo Media, and the first thing I found when looking that up is:

https://huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/steve-bannon-guo-wengui-g...

"Free speech" is often used as a fig leaf for the alt right, so this is unfortunately unsurprising :/

I wish good luck to Trieu Pham, even if personally I wouldn't have picked Guo Media as the hill to die on

The answer is likely that our legal system is too expensive for local restaurant owners to afford the cost of suing a grubhub sized company. Restaurants are a business notoriously prone to failure and low margins. Maybe a class action lawsuit would work in this case, but mostly it’s just another case where the legal system needs to be fixed to rely less on having money for justice to occur.

1. If it's just a hypothesis, write it up in a journal, don't put it in Time magazine.

2. The hypothesis is as unprovable as they come: not only do we not have any idea on how this process of taking over other brain areas would work, if you knew how it worked, you couldn't build brains that lack this mechanism but are identical for the rest, and set up an experiment in which half of the brains (modified and original) would dream and the rest wouldn't. Because that seems to be about the only experiment that could truly falsify this idea.

3. It doesn't explain why only the visual cortex is susceptible to this, when we know that other brain areas also can adapt. The argument "it's dark" doesn't cut the mustard, because the effect should go away as soon as we open our eyes, which is around 2/3rds of the day. BTW, babies can't see, so it's odd that so many of them manage to develop a normally functioning visual cortex.

4. Sleep inhibits the senses, so how can the areas they input to take over, and why don't their areas get taken over?

5. They don't even attempt to prove that REM sleep and REM sleep alone activates the visual cortex and only that.

> Make up your mind!

That was under the assumption that the hypothesis was true. It seems to lead to rather unintuitive predictions. And I do like a theory to not be in apparent contradiction with simple observations.

So no, I have no reason to take it seriously, and people that (think they) don't dream shouldn't worry.
These things can be difficult to notice by yourself because they just seem normal to you. It takes an outside observer to point out that you're exceptional at some fairly small or commonplace task.
It's a little bit of a strawman on your end. What you imagine to be the intention/argument on the other end isn't the one intended, so a comment like this one ends up dismissing the real issues brought up by people pointing out it's not FOSS.

There is no shortage of discussion these days about independent devs feeling suckered into doing free support for corporations by way of FOSS. At least in that situation those programmers get some form of equity out of the bargain, given the terms of the actually-FOSS licenses. In the case of Defold, they've taken the Apache license and changed it to diminish even that in a way that's directly meant to benefit Defold. There's also the matter of people just not wanting companies to be able to reap undue rewards out of association with FOSS if they're not actually doing FOSS.

It's honestly not a reaction that should be considered surprising. Want to hawk your wares as FOSS? Okay, FOSS licenses exist. Want to take one of those licenses and then alter it in such a way that it's no longer FOSS? Okay, then don't call it FOSS. It's a pretty fair deal.

We use pypy pretty extensively at our firm for analytics/olap work.

We've actually tried using some of the more traditional libs (Pandas et al) with CPython, but there's always a pure-python bottleneck (e.g. SQLAlchemy).

Performance is important to our clients and trying to keep everything performance critical in C extensions / NumPy would be kind of risky for us when adding new functionality, so pypy's guarantee of more speed pretty much across the board is awesome.

There are downsides of course - higher memory usage, longer boot times, some more obscure libraries being unsupported - but on the whole, it's a good choice for us
