Congratulations on the launch! This looks super nice, and if I understand it correctly, it's _kinda_ like creating a Checkout Session and redirecting the user, but more direct.

About a year ago I was toying with the idea of creating a SaaS/product that worked completely without JS, and the only hurdle was that there currently is no way to simply answer redirect a client directly to the Checkout page after creating a Checkout Session in the backend. Currently, you have to create the Checkout Session, send this to the client, load StripeJS, and _then_ you can redirect to the Checkout page.

Seeing that the Payment Link is basically the same thing, only that instead of a backend, the seller can create the Payment Link ("Checkout Session") in a dashboard, it doesn't really seem like the StripeJS-step I mentioned above is strictly necessary.

I hope you'll add a way to get the URL when creating a Checkout Session in the backend, so that the dream of a fully-functioning noscript SaaS might one day come true :)

Do you have a link to the New York Post story? I didn't see a link in the article you shared, and Facebook's claim was that the NYP story included a person's home address(es).
Its pretty obvious to me that the x86 prefix-extensions to the ISA are a Chomsky Type3 regular grammar. Which means that a (simple) RegEx can describe the x86 prefixes, which can be converted into a nondeterministic finite automata, which can be converted into a deterministic finite state machine.

Or under more colloquial terms: you "parse" a potential x86 instruction by "Starting with the left-most byte, read one-byte at a time until you get a complete instruction".

Any grammar that you parse one-byte-at-a-time from left-to-right is a Chomsky Type3 grammar. (In contrast: 5 + 3 * 2 cannot be parsed from left to right: 3*2 needs to be evaluated first before the 5+ part).
I currently read everything published by Rest of World. It's a new website focusing on tech scenes of countries other than the US. The quality is very high.

Not OP but I'm guessing OP is referring to the Voyager Golden Record attached to the first Voyager probe, specifically the playback instructions using hydrogen atom to derive time units for playing the record:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record#Playba...

Many of the ideas for the record came from Carl Sagan and a committee he lead working with NASA.
Facebook banned that story - as clearly stated in the article - for doxxing someone's private address. They've done this for years, as has Twitter (example from 2017: https://money.cnn.com/2017/11/03/technology/business/twitter...).

> product launches and cancellations are a consequence of an internal culture that rewards launching new products, but not maintaining or improving them

This is very stale information at this point. Product launches are now pretty heavily gated, and promotion criteria are far less based on launches than on overall impact, including but not limited to improving/maintaining products.

Motorized faders and rotary encoders would be nice, but also overkill. Most of my gear, even analog like Moog Sirin supports MIDI Program Change messages, so this already works today.
Edit - this comment is particularly about the authors experiences in the first part of his post - the stories he shares later are absolutely deplorable and anyone should read them. IDEO should take a real look at itself. What follows is a criticism primarily of always assuming something is racial when it might be universal. The latter stories are clearly discriminatory from a racial or gender standpoint in nature while the first I’m positing could be construed either way.

I’m somewhat skeptical of the idea that it’s entirely race focused - is it really considered a thing that only POC/women get imposter syndrome? That white people always feel empowered and justified? That white people aren’t called out publicly by abusive management in unjustified and uncalled for ways? I certainly do not wish to downplay the very real challenges POC people exclusively have to deal with in the workplace, but I also believe aiming the shot at the right target requires understanding that some things are more universal and less race based - one can even make a lot more allies that way by not gatekeeping workplace trauma.

I admit I may be getting the gist of this wrong, and the later stories are much more clearly showing actual racial discrimination which should absolutely be emphasized as true abusive practice based primarily on race and gender. I certainly empathize with the author, and having to see a company that was the cause of me having to spend a long time in therapy post about how much they “support” literally anyone is triggering and infuriating. It feels somewhat like the video of the person putting differently shaped blocks into the same square shaped hole - it can fit, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best fit.

I don't think Rust is the evolution of C. Its a nice thought, just like I like to think im the evolution of [famous well known person].

C++ was the evolution of C and so was Java, but they both turned out to be their own things and C kept on chugging. Rust is a big complicated language, there is nothing C like about it. I see more parallels between Rust and C++ than I do Rust and C.

Tell that to France. They still do passport checks on flights coming in from Schengen countries.

Especially stupid since I’ll be flying into southern France from neighbouring Brussels or Frankfurt. Like, if I’m up to no good, I could drive into France more quickly.

They’re allowed to do it “temporarily”, so they just renew their exemption year after year.

If so, where do you propose the line exists?

If not, I would suggest you're advocating that the "loudest" voice (where volume is measured by firepower) always gets their way.
As with all benchmarks, a lot of caveats apply. ClojureScript gives you a lot of power, and a lot of tools to easily reason about your code in many asynchronous scenarios. I believe that you if you wrote JavaScript that gives you the same amount of power and immutability guarantees that ClojureScript provides, it will also be slower than a simplistic benchmark that mutates everything all over the place.

> Most forks mention their origins somewhere in their bio

Ok, does that make forks who don't mention where they forked from rips? Huge leap in logic.

> Why should I need to dig into the Git history to find out the creative origin of Lodash?

Well, if you're interested in the origin you either look for information available in threads like this, where other people dig or you dig yourself. Not sure what the problem is. Someone published a library under MIT, another person forked that library and created a new one, also under MIT, and somehow the fork is now a rip? Give me a break
Another way of looking at it is that it probably takes a really long time to bring up an operating system to the point where it is production-ready.

It would be easier to do if you can target one hardware platform that does not change so that you don't have to also shift gears. If you're building the Great Pyramid, you don't want to also move it to a new construction site when it's half-completed.

Launching on hardware that was already released could mean they gave themselves that time. By the time they're finished (now), the hardware is old.
Thanks for the great feedback, Daniel! We'll be launching an API for Payment Links soon; drop me a note at jackerman@stripe.com and you'll be one of the first to try it out.

More realistically, we do not understand the impacts of biodiversity well enough to be confident about the economic impacts of biodiversity loss.

These are complex systems, and we very typically overestimate our understanding and mastery of complex systems.
Some conspiracy theories turn out to be true. Suppressing research into these would also lead to poorly informed decisions. For example, government mass surveillance on the scale revealed by Snowden was considered a conspiracy theory before the proof emerged.

So I would disagree that "conspiracy theories are problematic." Some are problematic, but there are also some that turn out to be extremely important. No progress is made without questioning authority and the status quo.
Walk more.

That's not even CLOSE to factual. Try getting your doctor to tell you how much any complex procedure or care will cost, before the fact, without insurance.

I am not a microkernel expert, but why is Zircon better than QNX as used in the final Blackberry handset?

QNX appears to already be in every market where Fuchsia wants to go.

Google could have bought Blackberry and used QNX in Android 5, rolling it up to Chromebooks. Why was this not the path they chose?

Correct. It's not intended as a Gecko replacement, and several important components in Servo are already part of Gecko. Servo will continue to evolve and new features will originate from it, but it lacks a lot of the legacy and quirks rendering (intentionally) that would be required to make it a full-fledged engine of its own even if Mozilla wanted it to be.

Ask HN: What is the simplest way to add a GDPR cookie consent to the website?
Having a GDPR compliant cookie consent on a website is a common enough requirement today. I assume there should be a few "out of the box" solutions for it. So, I wonder what is the simplest way to add a GDPR compliant cookie consent to the website and block *third-party* cookies should the users chose so? Are there any open-source solutions for this that rely on Javascript only (no back end involved)?
+1 for this. I don't wanna be rude, but dataops isn't a joke: I'm not going to put my security into the hands of someone who already made egregious security oversights an integral part of their product.
1. The number of people talking on small networks will probably go up.

2. The total number of people talking on all networks will probably go down.

The decrease in 2 is probably orders of magnitude larger than the increase in 1. I don't think that it's necessarily a positive change.
> Instead, these will be the first Tesla vehicles to rely on camera vision and neural net processing to deliver Autopilot, Full-Self Driving and certain active safety features.

Tesla's marketing is... misleading. "Full-Self Driving" sounds like the car is fully capable of driving itself when it does nothing of the sort. I can see why some drivers assume it's more capable than it is. "Autopilot" was bad enough.

What is Tesla going to call their eventual level 4 autonomy feature? "Actually Full Self Driving"?

Which will delay the next Pixel at least several years while causing a unprecedented level of fragmentation in the Android ecosystem? BTW, I don't expect this kind of experimental projects can live without reaching any milestones. Replacing Android with Fuchsia is just not a feasible option at this moment.
I think "childlike" is too friendly.

Common economic opinion seems to be that if an entity can consume some resource without immediate negative consequences for that entity, it's not only ok if does so, but it is "rational" to consume as much of it as possible, regardless of how much was actually needed - because "what is free does not have a value".

This is why, with climate change looming, the smartest minds of tech are designing a technology based on systematically wasting computing capacity and power.
GP isn't suggesting otherwise. They're saying that people trend towards larger networks, regardless of the quality of those networks or their impacts. Facebook and Co can be banned tomorrow, but the next phase will see a surge of small players getting bigger and bigger until one of them reaches a Facebook and Co. For India status, landing the people of India where they started. Except that the new incumbent will be more easily pressured or controlled by India's government.

It seems this is the ‘marking menu’: https://lesterbanks.com/lxb_metal/wp-content/uploads/2014/02...

But it looks pretty dubious from the perspective of Fitts' law. The items to the left and right are vaguely okay-ish: they're long in the direction of cursor movement, however you need to hit the narrow vertical profile while there's empty space above and below each item. The top and bottom items, though, are narrow in the direction of cursor movement while being far enough from the mouse that the movement will have some speed. It's the same problem as Windows' menus have, only closer to the mouse so not that pronounced.

Meanwhile, in a classical radial menu, the items are closer to the cursor and they should have considerable depth in the dimension of cursor movement if they use icons of non-microscopic size.
A deed does not refer to a specific thing. It only does so in daily life as a matter of convention. It is the authority of the banks or the government or whatever that gives your particular deed any weight at all. A deed, like a dollar bill, is a piece of paper with no value. Indeed, a photocopied dollar bill has no value whatsoever. It is only our collective agreement to pair value with officially recognized papers that grants those papers value.

The situation I described does make sense, because it's exactly what we are circling around here. Anyone can sell anything; it is merely a question of whether the sale will be recognized by the parties that matter. An NFT is necessary because it distributes the transfer and sale of things without a central intermediary. There is and always will be a required authority to recognize the value of a given NFT, however.

Note that these two ideas of central authority are not equivalent. In one hand, you have a centralized authority over trade; in the other, an authority over value. Note also that in the case of NFTs, there is no "one central authority who governs all value", but instead many authorities, i.e. the creators! The artist or creator of a given work is free to recognize the NFTs that grant ownership of their creations. It is they who have the power of authority.

In the US there is adverse possession, so if someone openly claims the land (living, using, maintaining, etc) for many years (10-20?), they can end up owning the land.

It helps settle minor arguments between property lines where fences existed for 50 years but the true line was not on the fence line.
Projectionists needed to learn to spot the little white blobs in the corner of films so that they could switch reels. Once trained, you can basically never miss it and it will annoy you every time you see it. Also, if you develop visual compression schemes (e.g. MPEG, H264, etc) you will basically always see the blocking artifacts and chroma aberration in compressed video. That leaves you hating all DVDs, blueray, and digitally compressed video since looking at it becomes work.

I think the exact opposite.

Read the doom source code and you can see that he didn't mess around with trying to put everything into some nonsense function just because he has some part of a larger function that can be scoped and named.

The way he wrote programs even back then is very direct. You don't have to jump around into lots of different functions and files for no reason. There aren't many specialized data structures or overly clever syntax tricks to prove how smart he is.

There also aren't attempts to write overly general libraries with the idea that they will be reused 100 times in the future. Everything just does what it needs to do directly.
The irony is that for modern processors, generated assembly tends to be faster, because the required optimization is so specific, manually crafting it can almost never match an optimizing compiler.

But I get the spirit of what you said.
