These app-only banks seem to prey on the Robinhood customer set: users who respond positively to a nice UI and are willing to pay for it through friction, feature restriction and non-existent customer service.

Retail finance's CLI to the saccharine of these apps is Fidelity. Free CMA with no ATM fees (third-party ATM fees reimbursed), no minimums, free wires in and out, securities able to be held in the account and good customer service on the phone and via chat.

Most of the US researchers who do CASP are funded by NIH or NSF. Some are funded by private foundations, or are independently wealthy. Typically, as a "principal investigator" (postdoc, professor, scientist at a national lab) you write a proposal saying "here's my preivous work, here's the next obvious step, plz give monies so I can feed the dean's fund and pay for my grad students to manage my modest closet cluster".

A group of your competitors then trashes your proposal in a group and if you've properly massaged the right backs, you get a pittance, which permits you to struggle to keep up with all your promises.
They really, really do.

You can increase your chances of finding water just by accurately reading the geology, the plant cover, the soil type, etc. Even if dowsing doesn't "work", that doesn't mean that dowsers don't have real skills that would be expensive for you to acquire.

Of course you can do better than just blindly gluing everything onto everything. But as a general strategy you’re not really escaping N×M. The data format needs to support everything, and all of the consumers need to be adapted to any change in any producer. That’s your glue!

1. Jews were also German

2. Indian muslims don't think of Hinduism as culturally superior

3. The vast majority were not forced at all. There have been only very few events of this nature.

Conservatism, all over the world, follows the same methodology. Fake and fantasy made up "history", identification of the "other" that must be eliminated, innate sense of superiority of the in group that the state must enforce, innate belief in hierarchy with little sympathy for those at the bottom.

0 overdraft fees. Yay. More like it. It will force major banks to rethink their overdraft fees as a revenue center. As someone who was not so well financially just a decade ago, overdraft fees seemed like penalty for being poor. When you are living paycheck to paycheck, you never know when your account will get overdrawn. And most evil thing was - bank will deny the charge because you didn’t have enough funds but will still charge you for $34 fee.

Some banks offer overdraft protection but it’s not obvious in lot of banking websites/apps in my experience and has been recent development. Plus - lot of people don’t understand the concept of overdrafts. They assume bank will deny if your account doesn’t have enough funds.

I’m surprised congress didn’t take action on overdraft fees as it mostly affects middle class and poor people.
I don't actually think shrinking units is good in general - I just tried to explain how more strict rent controls could result in more units.

I think it's perfectly fine for SF to say "we want a bunch of single occupancy housing, not high rises". Certainly, that's not great for everyone who wants to move there, but it's perfectly fine for a city to decide they don't want to grow anymore.

And putting minimum restrictions with regard to density and parking is a great idea. If you aren't going to invest in public transit, you need people to have parking spaces. If you want to live in uber-packed urban areas, you can move to NYC instead. There are a lot of options!

What your comment and the other replies are not addressing is whether it’s healthy for kids to be exposed to pornography, which is probably what the parent comment is worried about, and not whether normalizing sex work as something that some adults do is ok.

Ask HN: Would an expert-only version of StackOverflow be a good idea?
Every time I want to contribute to StackOverflow, I get put off by and demotivated by the jarringly bad quality of the majority of new questions; see e.g. the list of new questions tagged with [php] [1]. Now this has been discussed broadly, and somehow everyone seems to have their own opinion about SO's problems.

I recently read a short rant [2] about it on Meta, and now I wonder:

Could an expert-only, high quality SO alternative work? Restricted access is hard to enforce, but some basic RegEx captcha and adjusted rules and moderation might help a lot. Would you use it?

I understand that's how you feel, that without meditation and mindfulness you do not feel fully awake and 'conscious', though I suspect what you mean by 'conscious' is different to what I might mean. I am glad you've found something that increases your enjoyment and appreciation of your life.

I feel your pain. Most projects I work on are medical software, often connected to hardware. Getting this stuff certified is impossible without paying thousands of euros for the standards and then you pay even more for a few people who judge if you did it like the standard says.

But maybe the next project will be outside of the medical field.

If they truly have a "great idea", just steal it, implement it yourself, take all the profits, and make them do the work of coming after you in court to get their share, if they can prove it. I'd be willing to bet a judge and/or jury would most likely see things in your favor if you've done all the implementation work while they sat back and did jack shit, while feeling entitled to at least half of the profits.

Electricity usage as a metric for wealth is such a XX-century construct... I have no idea why you would still use something like that in a world where Climate Change has been socially accepted as fact.

The UK temporarily outlawed older-generation lightbulbs, as well as putting in place a number of measures to reduce energy use. Even Conservatives, historically the party of industry, are now heavily committed towards energy-efficiency measures of all sorts (sometimes excessively so, like the push for those terrible heat pumps).

A decline in energy consumption is a good thing and is absolutely not impacting standards of living in any way in UK society. The reasons for discontent are many, for sure, but not related to energy use in any way. The main issue really is wage stagnation (and hence, availability of time) for the working classes.
Twitter’s value as a source of information declines as it becomes an echo chamber for the intelligence apparatus & big industry. I suppose it was never for the people in the first place.

While true, this was not the root cause any more than keeping tons of explosives together in a port warehouse didn't cause the explosion in Beirut.

You are right in the sense that eradicating poverty will probably have a stabilizing effect on many societies, but, in Brazil at least, it wasn't the poorest who supported the rise of fascism - this was driven mostly by the middle class.

In Germany it was the hate speech, the scapegoating, the xenophobia of the nazi discourse, the framing of other people as sub-human, evil and unworthy of living. This led to seemingly normal people inflicting unspeakable evil upon others. And it's frighteningly easy to make a human do that.

The end of the article was encouraging and refreshing to read. IMO making an idea doesn't take courage it takes capital (Time & Resources). My challenge is that idea making is capitally inefficient in comparison to say, buying a house or even just buying the market. Pushing through that to say this is worth spending capital on is what I struggle with. Yes, I could build it, but would someone really buy it?

Thanks for the kind words! We don't use XBRL at all. We did try it initially, but it was wildly inconsistent across companies. I think one of the things that worked well for us was that we spent a lot of time at the initial stages of the pipeline (efficient sentence and word tokenization, span detection), that bode well for our models later on.

Interestingly enough I normally recommend people avoid Kubernetes, if they don't have a real need, which most don't.

This is one of the first cases where I think that maybe Kubernetes would be the right solution, and it's an article about not using it. While there's a lot of information in the article, there might be some underlaying reason why this isn't a good fit for Kubernetes.

One thing that is highlighted very well is that fact that Kubernetes is pretty much just viewed as orchestration now. It's no longer amount utilizing your hardware better (in fact it uses more hardware in a many cases).

See here, it might be that they recognized that choices made in the 90's were wrong: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/globali...

"Until recently, Windows has emphasized "Unicode" -W variants over -A APIs. However, recent releases have used the ANSI code page and -A APIs as a means to introduce UTF-8 support to apps. If the ANSI code page is configured for UTF-8, -A APIs operate in UTF-8. This model has the benefit of supporting existing code built with -A APIs without any code changes."

I think guards are in a really interesting position. Art curators are going to have inherit biases that are pretty hard to get past: It takes a certain kind of person to become one in the first place, and they're inherently affected by the state of the modern art world by being plugged in and a part of it as part of their job.

A guard, on the other hand, will probably not have any of these biases, while being exposed to far more art than the general public on an incidental basis. I wonder how many picked he job because of an existing love of art, vs just being a job?

> Is this necessarily a bad thing?

It pains me that I have to explain this to adults on HN, but: yes, this is bad. The foreign investor/customer paid dearly with time and money for the research and development. The factory runs an additional night shift and makes another batch of product. They then sell the night shift products at a reduced price undercutting the original vendor because they do not have to recoup the development costs. The vendor with the higher price cannot sell his stock of product because the demand is already satisfied from the cheaper night shift product.
You will be surprised how often this comes up if you are an engineer.

Fundamentals of Paint Adhesion
I did some undergraduate research on this around 1999. At the time we were trying to prove that we could throw more firepower at the problem by building a beowulf cluster to solve the problem. After a bit of tweaking, we were able to get more performance than a single machine, but soon seti@home was released and to me at least the writing was on the wall that we were not taking the most optimal approach.

In hindsight though, we were so far off from both an algorithmic perspective and a hardware perspective to actually achieving meaningful results. I am glad, 20 years later it seems real progress is being made. I haven't really followed the folding@home project in many many years, but its not clear to me much came out of it that was all that useful, at least not in practical terms.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen that... I've met enough of these types as a freelancer that I have a fairly hard rule of not doing business with people who think their ideas are the most valuable contribution. Even if they have money I will avoid them because they're not worth the hassle (although the two are rarely seen together).

If you think your idea is that easy to steal then you have no idea how the implementation will work at any level. The odds that you have identified some truly "low hanging fruit" is exceptionally low. It's probably that you just don't value any contributions but your own.
My main point of criticism of KDE, that their UIs look like they’re made by someone half asleep and looking somewhere else, is slowly, but steadily fading away. Big props for that! There’s still a long way to go, but I can absolutely see the effort succeeding. You rock, VDG (assuming they’re behind it)!

I also like that the podcasts app is responsive (in the web sense). I was originally excited about Linux on phones because I want to use the same software on my devices whether large or small. If I used this app on my phone, I‘d want to use it on the desktop as well. I strongly believe this is where software is going (only 10 years after the web) and highly welcome it.

Interestingly, Linux is extremely competitive with the other ecosystems in this regard due to Apple’s cautious approach and Microsoft appearing to be asleep at the wheel again.

The Linux phone may be here earlier than many of us think.

It's intersting (sort of) to contrast Bezos with Musk on this: Musk wants to colonize other planets, and in his other work to convert from fossil fuels -- truly moving the species forward. Bezos, on the other hand, fancies himself as Jean-Luc Picard, made trip #1 about himself, and what he's really making happen is a lucrative space tourism business. Still cool, but not at all on par with Musk's work.

Congrats Bezos, nonetheless (he gets a Nancy Pelosi clap, at least).

He "stepped down" from the CEO role to a position of executive chairman. Which basically means he retains decision making power but doesn't have to actually show up to the office every day. It would definitely tank the stock price.
I do believe that most people don't endorse coups. In fact, I suspect most people actively condemn them, or at least most people who actually have an opinion on the matter. His words have the power to swing this in the other direction.

Regardless, even if the proportions are inverted, his words have the power to strengthen the pro-coup numbers, which is not the same as keeping baseline humanity numbers and certainly makes a difference.

In any case, by condemning an entire country of roughly 11 million people to live under the rule of a foreign-backed government against the people's will is always going to be a net negative, regardless of other endeavours.

Since this is a matter of opinion (what's positive, what's negative, how much weight each action has on either direction, etc. is very much subjective), it seems like we simply disagree.

No, something that exists and consumes space/resources/mindshare basically has negative value until proven otherwise. It has all sorts of misguided hangups and ideas attached to it which might make it a worse starting point than a clean slate.

Otherwise, it's true that almost all ideas are worthless.
Sure...except just because fabs are being announced doesn't mean they will actually be up and running any time soon. The recent supply chain issues only add to the long lead times on 300mm tools that have been seen for the past 2 years. Getting enough people to actually build the fabs is also another problem with having to pull tradesmen from 3 or 4 surrounding states to support a single fab construction project.
I don't see how this is different today. If you're a small guy with a patent trying to bring to market a physical product before a giant...good luck with that. I can think of several examples where a large company stuns the development of a technology just because they can (3D printing, LCD monitors, electric cars, e-ink). Can you give me some examples from today where a startup used the patents as a sufficient moat to get to success? There are many successful startups, I am referring to specifically some that were protected by patents.
