"Banks haven't been allowed to monetize their KYC data"?

I work for a major US Bank and they are most definitely monetizing KYC data, in fact we have made several billion dollar acquisitions just to scoop peoples data.
"Use Rooms in Google Chat as a central place to connect, create and collaborate with others. Over the summer, we’ll evolve Rooms to become Spaces and introduce a streamlined and flexible user interface that helps you stay on top of everything that’s important.

I like their articles, but I can’t recommend the Economist after attempting to cancel my subscription the last time I had one. It took me over an hour of digging through the website, and then phone calls where they tried to up-sell me, side-sell me, every-way-sell me on discounts and different packages no matter how many times I said I just wanted to cancel my account. It’s possibly the worst experience I’ve ever had cancelling something.

> It's just snappier, because it's native code.

Gmail used to be snappier than Outlook is now when it launched, even as a webapp. I'm not sure quite how they've managed to mess it up so badly, but it's poor engineering not a limitation of the tech stack.

Agree with you on the other office products though. Word, Excel, etc aren't perfect, but they're much better than the alternatives for most things.
What about OSS devs who don't make money from their apps?

Nobody is talking about lowering the bar, but of putting the bar in the right zipcode.

An extremely high bar of leetcode testing is irrelevant to the actual job, so that's an irrelevant bar.

Do banks want to monetise their KYC data? In the UK, the government launched a similar system in 2014 called Verify, a platform for banks and other firms with existing customer relationships to offer identity verification as a service to the government, and eventually, third party sites. Users would choose a participating bank they has a relationship with and login to their account as verification.

But despite paying over £20 a user for each verification they only got one or two banks to join, and the scheme was a disaster.
There is something you might be missing. I'm a developer. Quite a bit of my development time is not spent at a computer. It's spent working things out in my head while walking or jogging, or even just wandering around the house.
I feel like I keep seeing articles on this topic, but nobody is addressing the (obvious) elephant in the room: If there is a great resignation, and people are quitting jobs they are not happy with - how are they going to pay their bills and way through life? Am I missing something?

It seems these articles all talk about workers realizing they are underpaid, overworked, and after a year don't want to go back to the same exploitive job. While I completely agree with all this, it doesn't address the question of how these newly unemployed workers will pay their bills and way through life

Are people just counting on their savings? If so, how many people can realistically live out of their savings (esp with rising costs of goods)? Do people think the extended unemployment benefits are going to continue for longer (this seems wildly unrealistic)?

I'm genuinely curious if there are answers to these questions? From my point of view, it seems these articles never mention the fact that people have jobs they don't like, because they have to in order to earn money (in normal non-pandemic times)
> the state has official holidays for Christian events.

If that alarms you, definitely do not go to Europe!

That America has some unimportant vestiges of Christianity doesn't make it "a Christian nation" for any useful purposes. Yes, Trump did a bit of pandering to Christians which fooled precisely no one, but in any matter of substance America is resolvedly secular.

If you want an accurate and useful model, think of secularism as the religion of the elite minority and the law of the land while Christianity is simply the most popular plebeian religion. Yes, in rare occasions members of the elite need support from the lower classes and will pay some vapid lip service to Christianity (consider Trump's comical appeal to Christians: "the Bible is the best book ever, probably even better than the Art of The Deal"), but beyond that secularism is absolutely the law of the land legally and culturally.

> most people I know groan when GURPS is mentioned as a solution to play in an undeveloped setting

Oh, good lord. GURPS is not for an undeveloped setting. GURPS is for choosing one (or more than one and mixing) source books and playing in the world they describe.

But I've heard great things about FATE. But FATE takes more than a single page.
And Google Workspace still doesn't play nice with Google Home, Photos, etc. I used to pay for GSuite and switched back to Gmail because of all the services I was ironically locked out of when I paid for them.
My point remains. You are deliberately minimizing his support for Trump, his support for other anti-gay politicians and his political statements to make it seem like people were against him over his quiet political preferences. If you try to influence politics and use your platform/money to do so then you absolutely should expect some sort of response, if only from your partisan opposition.
This is why egyptians worshipped cats. They knew that at the end of the day, the won and ourselves now have to work hard.
Filter bubbles are incredibly dangerous.

Every time I hang out my with most ambitious friends, I am reminded of how MSFT is 'low balling' company. That I could be making 2x if only I kept up with interviewing. On one hand, I can't avoid the objective truth of the statement. But, on the other hand, the hedonic treadmill is infinite.

I'm glad I am not in the bay area. I would've been paralyzed by the persistent reminders around me of my monetarily sub-optimal life choices. Get out out of my head: 'over-achieving friendo', I am already well into the 99th percentile of wage earners of my age in the world's richest country.

Over the last 5 years, I've seen a (COL non-adjusted) 100x (20x if I use a more practically true number) increase in salary. So far, My happiest moments have rarely required much money, let alone 100x as much as I had then.
It is by no means failing; at least from what I see, their adoption is higher than it's ever been. They are making a lot of pointless changes while ignoring all the real problems they have, though. Like the fact that group Chats are still unusable for organizations with... you know... users.

The fix is for the government to make it a service. Right now, the government is punting responsibility to private actors who do not have the legal tools to operate an identity service.

The government already operates an identity service via passports. The only reason they do not have an electronic identity service yet is because it is beneficial for them to be able to blame private actors when things go wrong.
The problem is that it presents a single point for massive control by governments, many of whom will see a fantastic opportunity to pass legislation.

Private Relay doesn't let Apple see the request now, but that doesn't mean it won't. They also don't need to see the request to deny exit point access to any number of sites they arbitrarily decide not to foward any traffic to.
Several richly valued startups must be having a nervous breakdown right now.

I started to pay really close attention to political news back in 2015/2016. There was this crazy phenomenon during the Trump administration where both sides felt like the other side was living in an alternate reality.

The truth is that news sources for each side presented completely different stories. While one side got a certain story, the other side was completely silent. So you had two groups of people who had two different sets of unrelated stories, and very rarely did they overlap. The media did an amazing job of putting each group into their own silo, making it impossible to discuss anything between groups or for any positive Trump news to ever be known to a large percentage of the population.
Guilty as charged. I'm an atheist (well, I'm ignostic, which is similar but I consider the distinction important), my wife is agnostic, but we had our wedding in a church officiated by a Christian minister.

Why? Because my wife liked the venue, we both wanted a traditional ceremony, and we thought it would be a better fit with our families, many of whom are devout Christians.
> GMail is TRASH for me

It is now, but it didn't used to be. Gmail at launch was incredibly fast. It gradually got a little bit slower over time, and then they made it a lot slower with a rewrite a few years ago.
The riddle-like questions are trash, I agree. Any question that requires you to already know a slightly more arcane data structure or algorithm, or involves just regurgitating some algorithmic trick, or similar, really just gives you signal of "did this person already know the question beforehand?", and nothing else.

Not asking those types of questions, and instead asking a more straightforward programming question with relatively simple data structures, and some tradeoffs to be made, plus maybe some follow up optimization questions (but like in general systems terms, not code), tend to work better. But it's still whiteboard coding for the most part.

While I do detest leetcode interviews, I've yet to see another interview system that works for extremely large companies, that covers all the bases:

* won't result in you hiring someone who can't write a for-loop in their language of choice (I know fizz-buzz is a meme at this point, but I have interviewed people who failed a question easier than fizz-buzz before - not even on a whiteboard. People who genuinely cannot program at all will apply for programming jobs, and some of them will get past the recruiters.)

* is reasonably based on skills

* is not hyper selecting for "people extremely similar to people who already work here" (not "what school did you go to?" or "who do you know who already works here?" type stuff)

* can be made mostly uniform across the company (though, even leetcode-like interviews are hard to make uniform, it's easier than a lot of other methods)

* isn't trivially cheated (100% remote tests, where someone else just does it for you)

* won't be outright rejected by people who already have jobs (internships, though this does work well for new grads)

* won't be outright rejected by people who have less free time outside of the job (e.g. people with families, small kids won't go for "work for a week" type take-home assignments which say "couple hours" but you're competing against people who will dump 40+ hours into it in a single week)

A lot of other systems work really well if you're willing to slash your candidate pool to a smaller percentage, but break down once you start trying to fairly get at more candidates. Something that works well for a 1000 person company won't work if you have >50,000 developers. Something that works well for a company explicitly willing to exclude parents won't work well for a super large company.

Also, a lot of companies do change up the application process for people who are just out of school, in that they allow internships/etc, with a different route through than just interviews. (Though you usually have to go through an interview to get the internship, they tend to be way easier - having sat on such an intern hiring committee before, you get very few interviewers asking riddle/trick questions)

Time-wise, I can generally coach someone to pass a big tech interview loop in 1-3 months, not a year.

I've seen a similar situation when Ansible were resolving issues with Jinja2 but Ansible contributors simply helped the Jinja contributors to resolve the issue. It wasn't like all the burden was put on the jinja project.

Now those are two very active projects but what I mean is that no one is forcing the author of the repackaged code to support anyone he does not have time to support. If they want support they can ask the nixos project maintainers for it.
I'm all for people getting out of their bubbles, but the idea that the truth is "somewhere in the middle" or is even discernible by a process of digestion applied to the two "sides" of the American political spectrum is pretty dumb.
The author’s contractual wishes are specified there. It’s fine for an author to have additional, non-contractual wishes. (Legally, it’s equally fine for someone to follow or not follow those additional wishes.)

> A good company will be a place where the engineers who are capable of following through with great ideas are being listened to while the remainder are kept at their place so to speak.

That sounds reasonable on the surface, but it describes a situation that can't be reached unless the organization is willing to take risks and losses.

The way someone becomes an engineer that is capable of great ideas and the subsequent "follow through", is by failing. A lot. And then learning from the mistakes and doing better next time while developing the grit and confidence that's required for success. This requires an environment that tolerates trying new things and has enough slack so that it's OK to fail sometimes. This stuff CANNOT happen in places where everything is project-managed to the point where everyone has their nose held to a grindstone at all times and the word "accountability" is used as a threat.
As a first stab I went with SMS text messages because the functionality is built into the device and the app can easily access the SMS messaging history on the device to make better decisions. I plan to review support for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and friends in the future.

To emphasize this, some Japanese have “church weddings”... sometimes with a fake minister... except they are not, in the great majority of cases, Christian, or even religious at all. The just like a ceremony. It’s kind of exotic, I guess.

Fortunately the Japanese don’t feel like they are othering, or appropriating or anything like that. They just want to enjoy something, something different.
Christian Christmas is Christian, but it is very different from Secular Christmas, which is practiced by Americans of all faiths as well as atheists and agnostics.
"It has a slow startup time. Clojure runs on the JVM and has a significantly slower startup time compared to Node. Again, this is only a problem from an outsider’s perspective. We have REPL. You start the app only once, and it keeps running in the background. You can interactively include new changes, without having to startup every time."

I've been using Clojure for about 8 years and this is one of the talking points I find most annoying. The slow startup time is a disadvantage, and it should be owned. It disqualifies clojure from a large class of applications and if you're not honest about it you lose credibility, and you retard potential attempts to solve it. It doesn't mean you can't write software with Clojure, but be honest about the fact that it makes lots of types of usage (not all) a poor match.
Another commenter on this post said that this service isn't available in India, so it seems like the real flaw is that this shouldn't have been presented to a user in India by whatever site you were using.
I can’t comment on the legal issues but AFAIK you can change licenses with future releases, not retroactively, so while you might be right, software requires support and losing future releases is often close to losing the software entirely.

On the non-legal side, there’s still a much broader issue of being good members of a community. We do, in fact, live in a society.
> Open source is a contract with your audience that the code can be used freely.

"They dont talk about or even cover the same things, which makes it hard to compare liberal vs conservative perspectives. This is the most common form of bias I've come across."

I've noticed this as well. Going from WaPo to Breitbart (or vice versa) is like going to an alternate world. When they are talking about the same thing often they are doing so in a belittling manner (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2016/11/13/safety-pin-ant...). I feel like the tone taken by MSM outlets like WaPo and the NYT has become harsher and more condescending, but it could just be me paying closer attention to it.

Bias by exclusion doesn't get talked about as much as it should. One way you can tell when a media establishment doesn't like something is that they do what they can to ignore it. During the Dem primaries it had become a meme in some left wing communities the length the MSM was going to ignore Bernie and his popularity. Another popular example is how Noam Chomsky is largely shunned by the MSM.
I have a colleague who attended a wedding in India post vaccination and he and many other guests contracted the Delta variant, none went to the hospital including his parents.

To be honest, I was surprised so many still contracted the variant.

For anecdata, they were ill with mild flu-like symptoms for a two or three days, their older parents were ill with similar symptoms for about a week.

The reason this is all concerning to me is that it means we're going to keep seeing the spread of variants as long as vaccination efforts are not complete and effective.
I feel this pain deep inside my brain. My head is like a million points moving in several directions at once, all the time.

Considering that Stripe was originally known for letting websites accept credit card payments without seeing your credit card number, one might assume that Stripe Identity only allows websites to see the verification result, and not your selfies and scans of your identity documents.

That would be an incorrect assumption. Per https://support.stripe.com/questions/managing-your-id-verifi... customers of Stripe Identity have API access to "captured images of the ID document, selfies, extracted data from the ID document, keyed-in information, and the verification result".

Thus, when you use Stripe Identity to verify your identity, you have to trust that:

1. The website doesn't download, retain, and later leak your selfie and identity information.

2. The website's Stripe API token isn't compromised and exploited by identity thieves to access your selfie and identity information.

Stripe appears to be leaning heavily on their claim that they don't disclose "biometric identifiers" to websites and that these "biometric identifiers" are deleted from their systems within 48 hours. This is extremely deceptive considering that biometric identifiers can be reconstructed from the selfie.
I had chronic lower back pain and sciatic numbness for years and completely separately (or so I thought) problems with my knee (going down stairs was excruciating). The knee pain was dx'd as IT band / piriformis syndrome. P/T for the knee coincidentally helped alleviate the lower back pain and sciatica. I eventually got into Pilates which seemed to help stave off all three problems (until Covid).

I have a degree in English lit and zero medical qualifications but it sounds like you compressed the sciatic nerve on the ride. Can you get your doctor to recommend some P/T to try to release that?
