To a certain extent, but ask the people in Vancouver what's going on with housing prices (tip: it's being used as a store of wealth and for speculation by Chinese people and others) Many, many houses sit empty so it has nothing to do with people wanting to live there.

> These things were put together in haste in the 90's and Oracle keeps pushing them and their corporate customers keep these things going long past when the interface becomes utterly unfamiliar.

Actually the history of this app is a little more complicated. In the early 1990s, Citibank decided to establish an outsourced software development group in India to rewrite their banking software from scratch–they established it as a subsidiary company called iFlex. From 2005 onwards, Citibank progressively sold a majority of its stake in iFlex to Oracle, who then renamed the company Oracle Financial Services Software (OFSS). OFSS is listed on the Mumbai stock exchange, but Oracle owns the majority of its stock.

So, rather than being a product which Oracle developed themselves and sold to Citibank, this is actually in some ways the opposite – a product Citibank developed themselves and sold to Oracle.

I used to work for Oracle. I never worked on OFSS software directly, but I did work on an implementation project for some of it. I never saw the internal banking UI, all I ever saw was backend stuff – LDAP, BPML, JVMs, databases, load balancers, firewalls, etc. Indeed this article is the first time I've seen that particular UI in my life. But I can tell from the visual appearance that it is not one of Oracle's more recent UI development frameworks. (I don't know if this is because Citibank is running an older version, or if there are parts of the product still running on a legacy UI framework.)
Supposedly that's no longer the case:

When I was 17 I had a bad cough and my mom gave me what turned out to be too much codeine cough syrup. An hour later I realized my cough was gone but I had spent all that time staring at my Windows ME desktop, in some sort of euphoric daze, repeatedly selecting and deselecting all the icons. For an hour! It was really, really creepy and deeply unsettling. And this was codeine, a "mild" opiate! Have aggressively stayed away from opioids ever since then.
That's issue here with this specific software's UX.

It would be like if I hit the reply button here on Hacker News and instead of the comment I typed out it my reply contained my bank account information. And I was not told something I do not want to happen would happen by doing so.
Everything about banking is devoid of aesthetic. Banks don't care how things look. My nearest BoA has fake plants and dinged-up furniture. This is the kind of culture that would put up with horrendously bad UI/UX until it bit them in the ass and then they would probably just fix the problem with lawyers instead of finding or demanding a better software. Design matters.

Now let's talk about Flexcube. Oh, it's an Oracle app! Guess who else is rich, has no interest in aesthetics, and loves lawyers. I'm seeing a pattern here. Design. Matters.

This same discussion happens in every thread about C safety. I wrote about it in my essay, "With undefined behavior, anything is possible"[1].

Basically, by saying the compiler is doing things wrong even though it is following the standard, you're putting yourself in the "semi-portable C" camp. That's fine, there are lots of people in that camp. It still represents important C projects such as the Linux kernel, which is written in the GCC dialect of C, with flags to control various things that would otherwise be undefined behavior. (It now compiles in Clang as well, but I'd ascribe that to a significant effort in making Clang successfully compile the GCC dialect; in either case it's most decidedly not standard C)

Here's the thing, though. Even though a good case can be made for the semi-portable C camp, it is losing. Regehr's proposal for a "Friendly C" dialect failed, and, a few years on it certainly doesn't look like it will be taken up again. A lot of people who care about undefined behavior are simply moving to Rust. Or if you do want the advantages of C (extreme portability, excellent support from tools, etc), then you use tools such as static analyzers, sanitizers, and fuzzers, with the goal of getting all UB (as defined by the standard) out of your program.

So, bottom line, if you're hoping for consensus on "reasonable" behavior from a C compiler, so that you can count on your code working (even if it contains UB as defined by the standard), it's not going to happen.

The basis itself of the article is invalid and it is in "bad faith". I'm not attacking their credibility, I am attacking the thesis in itself. But since the author attacks the author of the original article and the WSJ in their rebuttal, I apply the same here and note that they have a large piece of cake in the play they are talking about and are thus also not objective.

So to go to the arguments:

1. Total crypto market isn't just US, on which this rebuttal seems to focus.

2. Is bitcoin price determined only by fiat inflow via "whitelisted" exchanges? Are they the only part of the whole crypto community that matters? The answer is no, and thus we gotta count the whole market.

3. And again, the article completely avoids the problem by saying "there are problematic exchanges but we will ignore them". The problematic exchanges are exactly the problem. They are creating fiat-tied coins with no backing and putting that money into market - which is valued by the amount of money in it. So the "whitehat" exchanges, even tho not directly involved in dirty money, are involved and profit off of the same ecosystem the dirty money is in. Thus, they are not an isolated system and cannot be observed as such and the market cannot be judged on the behaviour of these isolated systems alone.

Imagine if this was about gambling and illegal casinos (which in a way, it is). So this article would be written by someone working in Vegas saying "Well, yeah if we're looking at all casinos there is illegal stuff going on and people are printing their own chips and trading them for real Vegas chips, but as a company that counts chips, we only count chips sold in Vegas casinos and we haven't found such problems in Vegas casinos". Would you say "hey but there is a bunch of illegal casinos you are not looking at that print chips which are exchanged at your place for money" or "oh okay this makes sense"?

Okay, so for the foreseeable future: "The practical utility of crypto is such a joke when compared to the intended use cases that all of the speculators fawn over"

Not really a change in semantics here. It's still the point that crypto promised a LOT of really cool things for fintech that realistically won't materialize for a long time.

Don't misunderstand: this is a bad advertising practice. I don't like most advertising, relevant or otherwise, so if this happens as you describe then yes, the value add is negative. That doesn't make the data usage surprising though, and that was my point. It's okay if Amazon uses data I entered into search directly to advertise to me, even if they're not very good at it. Ethically, no line was crossed here.

What would be surprising (to most consumers) is if the Florida resort advertiser, instead of bidding on some broad target demographic, has access to enough data to target me individually. However that comes about, that is the line that is crossed. Why does the third party have direct(ish) access to this data? Why wasn't I informed? Etc. Whether that is direct sale of the data, or indirect targeting through unusually specific ad campaign targeting, the effect is the same: it's creepy.
Counterpoint: Many of the tech giants are so big and all-encompassing that they are practically their own third party. Google can take your location history from Google Maps and use it to recommend videos on Youtube.

Perhaps more importantly, restricting third-party but not first-party sharing creates bad incentives. If Google could share search data with first-party services like Google Reviews, but not third-party ones like Yelp, what does that mean for Yelp? We'd just be encouraging the largest companies to bring even more of the world in-house.

It's a comment about the other piece: Trade and specialization.

It's more efficient to have specialized countries. If Germany and Japan focus on optics, that's more efficient than having an optics industry in each country. Everyone is wealthier.

It's also more brittle; if WWII breaks out again (as a hypothetical), the allies don't have access to optics, and can't repair step-and-repeats. That, in turn, means they can't manufacture ICs. And so on, down the line.

from my limited experience of atlanta and houston, both seem worse traffic-wise than LA (which i know well). their traffic seems to be bad nearly everywhere, whereas traffic in LA has lots of hotspots, mostly in wealthy areas (coast and hills), where the demand for (sparse) housing has equilibriated poorly with insatiable demand for roads and parking. in the denser parts of LA, public transit and more walkable neighborhoods have kept traffic somewhat in check (bad maybe at rush hour, but not all the time).

> The thing most people forget about options & RSU is that one is taking away a big chunk of the TC and delay it to a future year.

That's not my experience. My TC is the amount I'll actually make this year (and have made in previous years), which includes my salary, bonus, and the value of the RSUs at vesting, which I auto-sell. I'm not "delaying" anything; I'm making great money right now. Unvested shares only matter to the extent that your future income might over/underperform current predictions to some extent. I definitely don't consider them "mine" yet in any way; they're simply a leading indicator of my estimated future TC at this company if I continue to stay employed here.

Options, yes, are a different matter, but RSUs in big companies are almost as good as cash (and when the market is going up, as it has been this past decade, they're better than cash).

Under New York law, someone who sends out an erroneous wire transfer—for example, sending a payment to the wrong account—is entitled to get the money back.

But the law makes an exception when a debtor accidentally wires money to a creditor. In that case, if the creditor doesn't have prior knowledge the payment was a mistake, it's free to treat it as a repayment of the loan.

I wonder if folks here on HN agree with this law or not. It sounds like it could be construed as an unfair rule put in due to lobbying by lenders. Thoughts?
Yeah, I'm wondering the exact same thing.

1. Take a population of 100 people. There is a 50% chance that a random person from that population can create a successful business (obviously 50% is a made up number)

2. All 100 attempt to start a business. 50 succeed, 50 fail.

3. The 50 that failed now have a 25% of succeeding in their future business endeavors. The 50 that succeeded apparently have the same 50% of success.

4. Now, given the same population, there is only a 37.5% chance that that a random person will succeed in their next business, which is in direct contradiction to point number 1.

I'm not entirely sure I did that right. I'm no statistician so there may be some glaring logical flaws there, but that seems correct according to my intuition.

From the man page:

> The following is a list of all the standard widgets, and their default bindings in emacs mode, vi command mode and vi insert mode (the `emacs', `vicmd' and `viins' keymaps, respectively).

What that means is that if you issue 'bindkey -e' from a bare .zshrc it will enable the emacs bindings and C-q will work. The other two unbound entries state that it isn't enabled by default if you want to use vi-style editing.

The KEYMAPS section in the man page has a full explanation. The easy way to play with it is to start an extra zsh with "zsh -f" so it ignores your configs, call "bindkey" to see what the default bindings are like, then "bindkey -e; bindkey" to see all the goodies that are enabled in emacs mode for example.

Manuals are just more fun if you enjoy that sort of thing - there's a bit of skill keeping the engine RPM in the power band.

Who is the relevant person to name here? The one who screwed up designing the UI so much? The one who decided to enter into the contract with oracle? There are much more relevant people to this story, but this is presumably just reporting on public records without doing any legwork. If the more relevant names aren’t in there, the reporter isn’t going to go find them and will instead just go with what’s easy.

You don’t actually say what this thing we’re supposed to understand is, but I think you’re implying that it’s in the public’s interest to know it? If that’s what you meant, I’d disagree that these names are in the public interest.
I use aliases, too. But an alias for every possible "bookmarked" directory seems excessive. Like this guy [1] in the current thread, I tend to just say x=`pwd` (no need to always `export`). Agreed there is probably a way to set up a shell function `a() {...}` that establishes an alias (or even a shell function) almost as simply, but another problem that remains is that aliases and variables are separate namespaces. So, if you do it the variable way like Zsh then you don't have to worry about clobbering some existing alias or shell function. You do have to keep these separated namespaces in your head, but the updating of the prompt to the variable name is a pretty good reinforcement cue (at least for me, in practice). Also, the variable lets you use it in composed paths like `$x/bin/foo` while an alias/function would only change your directory.

TL;DR - Yuck = namespace squishing in this application only, but then again one man's "collapse of namespaces being yucky" is another's "yay, I do not have to remember 3..4 namespaces!".

EDIT: for what it's worth, I never intended my 9..11 items to be "in order of importance or persuasiveness". Mostly in order of personally driving me batty when I use Bash and just meant to actually be things Zsh could do that (present)Bash could not, to my knowledge due to @deadbunny's complaint. I do try to keep a side Bash config that is as close as possible to my Zsh config, because it's not always worth my time to compile/install Zsh on a system. But when I do that and start using Bash, I notice all these missing things. { That's why I would genuinely appreciate anyone who knows how to replicate them in Bash saying how. I'm not just "daring the Bash apologists to a challenge" or whatever. :-) }
