Problem is that some connected accounts in platform were selling CBD which is on restricted business list of Stripe. And we already had systems in place to make sure they don't sell it in areas that are not allowed and they are compliant in terms of regularity perspective

They also blocked us in past and reopened due to decline rate being high, we built security layers it went from 20 to 6-7%.

We are capable of building whatever is necessary to continue with Stripe. Our platform not necessarily require CBD companies to grow.
In less than 4 months, our team were able to grow from 0 to 100-150k a day revenue, of course we can build anything required

I don't understand how me being frustrated have anything to do with actual practical problem

Stripe blocks many people with this unnecessary reasons while they could be working with them by letting them know what should be done, it is not just us, but many companies

For our case, they could simply say, we will work with you as long as you no longer support CBD industry. And we will be more than happy to do so, only thing we would need to do, build auto blocks for CBD and add underwriting guidelines for our team which would take us less than 1-2 days to do so.

They can work with us, it is just unreasonable so that they simply don't even consider

Another thing frustrating is that, many people praising Stripe, and I am thinking how come they don't see how they are destroying many businesses by simply having bad underwriting practices

Then I notices, reason most people like stripe is that, if you don't make money, revenue or have growth, Stripe usually doesn't even care, you don't even notice any issues, so you are happy

Once you have growth and revenue, you are in trouble

This didn't just happen once to us, we have team members in team and the only reason their business failed was Stripe as well

Communication specialist, I don't understand still why it is recommended, making things perfect has huge cost of speed, so doesn't worth it

I have Bell fibe but keep Teksavvy around as an automatic failover. Not just for practical reasons but I would like to give them money for advocacy but can't really stomach the objectively worse connectivity (not their fault).
Beverages are interesting because there are now financial incentives to switch off of sweetened beverages: sweetened beverages are taxed higher in some municipalities (e.g. SF) and even banned in some school districts (e.g. PepsiCo has been selling Dasani and Bubly in some in-school vending machines instead).
This. I abstain from all sugar a few times a year for at least a week. I can't drink soda in any form anymore, it all tastes like syrup at this point. I have no cravings for it at all. But continually breaking the sugar cycle helps me realize how off things taste being overloaded with sugar. There's plenty of research showcasing how addictive sugar can be and since there's no health value to consuming it there's no downside to minimizing it.
For sure. You’ll find that much of Max Richter’s work is also heavily influenced by Glass. If you listen to The Departure (from The Leftovers soundtrack), and are familiar with the PG piece “Truman Sleeps,” they are strikingly similar. It’s almost as if Richter has taken Truman Sleeps and just expanded it into The Departure. Big fan of Max Richter too..
Increment the name. Is it really that hard? Product being sold is not the same as the product being reviewed.
It's also important to remember that scientifically it's unclear whether lockdowns even reduce covid mortality.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5... found "full lockdowns and wide-spread COVID-19 testing were not associated with reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality."
It's been my experience that Google Voice also silences many of the links that I share with people.

Ultimately I stopped sharing links over several third party services that I've used for years and have transitioned to other services instead.
The point of the lock analogy is to point out the absurdity of analogies here.
Can you tell more about this?

Back when I first heard about the Eurisco story, I tried to find the other accounts but all I saw were the same story re-told multiple times.

Any links would be greatly appreciated!

This is a classic dynamic programming problem. You create an array of bools of length 4394+1, initialize to False, and fill it left to right with True on the specific amount of cents that can be covered (this is possible because nothing has a negative price). Then if the final element is True the solution exists, and all solutions can be generated by back-tracking. It's polynomial if the input is represented in unary form (like in the regex version down below), and exponential if the input is represented in binary.

BTW, if you want you can even express this as a certain regex+input combo:

Regex: (a^122|a^275|a^185|...)+

Input: a^4394

Where a^N means "a" repeated N times, and of course the regex must cover the entire string. And, if your regex engine can find all matches, then it would also find all solutions.
I remember those puzzles.

Are you sure there was no way for a child to prune the search space?
Yeah it's unlikely to happen though. The conditions of this housing boom are nothing like the last one. Mortgage requirements much more stringent.

Additionally, monetary policy in the US is responsible for inflating assets and they are showing no intention to raise rates in any significant way. Maybe prices cool off a bit when they eventually start to raise rates but I expect there will be no bust. These prices are the new normal.
> Situation is different here. We talk about reading books not writing them.

I'm struggling to see why you think that makes a difference.

The only obvious difference is that reading a book is much easier than writing one, which would tend to aggravate the problem of letting people out of jail when they should be in it.
Linux wasn’t bootstrapped from Minix in any meaningful way though, even if it was inspiration (and that would be quite a claim to make given Minix is a microkernel design and linux is a monolith), and Andrew Tannenbaum weighed in on that at the time. Further, it wasn’t just lack of attribution - specific allegations of copying were made as well as appeals to incredulity - one person could never write an OS! It must all be stolen!

He was flat out wrong and he put his efforts into spreading FUD about it while taking money from Microsoft, all while the SCO stuff was going on.

It’s very hard to see his efforts as anything other than paid-for propaganda.
The results of the study are that more orphans were created by the lockdowns than covid.
Insanity, carbohydrates are nothing to fear. Any serious athlete could tell you that. Just make fruits and vegetables the core of your diet...

You've got that backwards, the virus spreads through the bloodstream and produces thrombosis and thrombocytopenia. It isn't "scattershot" its more multi-organ "carpet bombing". And it kills through causing major autoimmune reactions, and even when patients live can causes several permanent autoimmune issues (diabetes, etc).

Since viruses tend to become less deadly overtime to the host. You have no idea if it was better to let COVID run, and people develop natural immunity.

The delta variant in India is much more infectious, but also much less deadly to the population there. Exactly the change you expect a virus to make overtime, since killing the host tends to end the viruses ability to spread. Its turning into cold, or mild flue.

This virus was only ever a real threat to the elderly, who still control most of the wealth, and vote in large numbers. What you're seeing is politics of self preservation of the eldest generation on the way out, at the expense the younger generations. Much like hoarding resources, they continue to quench to life. At some point younger people will rebel if this continues.

The real threat is return to authoritarianism. It has killed tens of millions in the last century.

I read the FDA document which they approved the other one - it's a joke! It uses outdated claims which no longer apply, there's no analysis of any kind, etc.

But, to be fair, barely anyone cares about that.

The objective is to have these approvals formalized so that the woke can constitutionally mandate vaccination and punish those who don't comply.
It's a good way to ensure that I will never pay for their products, and will enthusiastically support any competitor who respects their customers.

Not using one of these in my life without a privacy-focused ROM. fingers crossed they get it ported, because the hardware truly looks insane. Xiaomi has a lot of products like this: cheap, very low profit margin by production costs, but very ad-filled and data-collecting by default.

I own a $30 mi band 5, with Gadgetbridge, an open source fitness tracker app. Absolutely worth the price if you can bypass the malware built into it.

That's 12watts. You just need some great insulation and enough time. If you are willing to never open the door and can wait days for your beer to chill, a 12-watt fridge is very doable.
> Musk we know that he has repeatedly violated securities laws

Fwiw, "insider trading" is not an actual law. It's a constantly-shifting regulation maintained by the SEC.

In the example you're citing, Musk tweeted financial information about Tesla. This would have been totally precedented and OK for the company to release as a PDF on their website, but there was no standing principle on whether a tweet counted as a public release of financial info. After deliberation and some caveats, the SEC said "Yes, this is fine" [1].

I don't think this counts as a "violation of security law". Would most CEOs have played it safe and asked their lawyers first, who could have consulted the SEC, and waited six months for a draft new regulation? Probably. But I don't think it makes the tweet illegal, or even especially wrong.

I get what you're saying... but what's the relevance here? The issue is that what Apple is doing is not E2E encryption, not the public's understanding of a reasonably complicated information science topic.
> Even if it's not literally addictive

Except that some research suggests that it is:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2235907/
I have a Note 9 and I have given up on getting any apps to stay running in the background. I hate when computing devices don't let you use the thing as you like.
I'm not sure I agree.

For many, the substance one is addicted to generally starts out as something seen as fun and enjoyable. Take alcohol, the most widely celebrated addictive toxin in the world.

Stick with it for a bit, integrate into your life as a crutch (bad social skills, try drinking! need a way to relax, try drinking! bored, try drinking!) and eventually the effects of withdrawal keep you hooked. Even if you think you're not hooked, there's a chance you are.

It's a slide that is very difficult to travel in the opposite direction on. Some people will certainly slide further down due to life circumstances, but that's not really the problem, is it? You can't eliminate the fact that life is eventually going to really suck at one time or another.

The problem is that we allow companies to profit from addictive and usually harmful substances, and they are incentivized to keep people addicted. Alcohol, tobacco, and opiates - the root of an astounding amount of poor health, financial struggle, and early death among otherwise ordinary people.

Addiction isn't a moral failing of the individual as much as it is one of society, but in my opinion, for different reasons.

Think about it, there's real truth to it.
Yep. Cereals, fruit juices, mainstream coffee (Starbucks, Dunkin, etc.), yogurt, baked goods...

It's insane to me that society in the US has been conditioned to consume literally hundreds of grams of sugar for breakfast. If you need caffeine (which is a separate discussion), you don't need to consume what's essentially a frozen milkshake as the delivery vehicle.
What is also not recognised is that there is a growing percentage of people who is unable to perform any job available in a modern society. Because of mental/IQ/education/soft skill problems. The result is a growing underclass of people that the rest of society try to ignore or (especially in the US) punish for “being lazy”.
The withdrawal from Syria was a bit complicated by the military lying to trump.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/retiring-never-trump-diplomat-...

It’s common knowledge the entire establishment hated trump and was going to do what they could to make him look bad. I’m not 100% who to blame on that front. But I personally didn’t vote for Trump in 2020 specifically because of that withdrawal.

In the case of Afghanistan, this is 100% top generals & Biden. Until there are hearings we won’t know who holds more blame. One thing trump would have done is fired the generals immediately.

They had a plan to withdrawal in may under trump - why? Because the local religious festivities would allow the US to retreat without being pursued. Instead, we pulled logistics and air support. Told all our citizens it’ll be fine (and didn’t inform them of the pending collapse) and then abandoned our best route out. This was... idk what to call it.
Note that the studies you have unspecified qualms about are only 2 of 11 cited in that first survey reference. I meant to include the link to the other survey study I quoted above: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7883189/. I'm satisfied by these and many other studies that masks do work. You are of course free to rely on your intuition regarding which studies are valid and which are not, but I stand by my statement.
It's pretty disappointed that there's an article called Weird Languages and all we get is Lisp again.

I also think it's a bit arrogant to imply that if you don't like Lisp than you're just not smart. I'm sure many of us have been exposed to Lisp and still prefer to programming language that less powerful but more humane.
Well, lispers claim that lisp is really good for building programs where the specifications are complicated and not already a solved problem. Smalltalkers claim their environment is incredibly good for prototyping a solution. And array programmers would argue numerical computing is much easier in their languages.
Here in Canada's smallest province Bell has repeatedly promised for 20 years or more to build the infrastructure for better rural Internet. They've stalled, taken government funding, occasionally make mediocre upgrades of their barely usable service.

Now tired of waiting rural residents are installing Starlink at about 50 to 100 installs per week (anecdotal). Rural residents are going from "up to 1Mbps" (and poor support) to 250Mbps down/50Mbps up 50ms latency. By the end of the year Bell is going to be wiped out in rural areas.

Like you say even if it's 1Gbps and $35 it's just not worth it. Bell is a horrible company to deal with.
In theory.

But sugar is a pain killer. Makes me wonder why it's so popular and what would really need to happen to effectively make such changes.

Sounds like a sugar epidemic. Why are these ingredients not banned?
Apple operates the only legal E2E encrypted messaging system in the country, and I’m sorry but your characterization of online tracking and advertising as harmless is at best an opinion.
One isn’t inherently better than the other, but if you spend time making a platform for birds, you probably want to enjoy looking at them rather than let them die.
> The offense was changed from a criminal one, with prison as a possible punishment, to an administrative one if the amount possessed was no more than a ten-day supply of that substance.

Indeed this is the difference between decentralization and legalization.

They did a lot of things yes! Very true. I advocate for the whole model.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that feels this way. Recently, I decided to buy a one year gift subscription to a substack I follow and give it to myself, just to avoid that feeling.
This is just a passionate proclamation of the tenets of something similar to a religious faith. Each of your possibly falsifiable claims could be argued with. The rest of the statements have various weasel words like "credible" scientist or "sane and honest" denying, etc, so any scientists who disagrees is not credible, and any denial is insane or dishonest.
Since Apple operates the key service and there is no key transparency mechanism, they could certainly do it (technically) with only a server side change.
What you're saying makes complete sense. I just struggle at times with decisions like these because because there are millions of people sick today where the disease has broken through Avastin's ability to constrain tumor size and this might be what's needed to put it over the edge.

On the other hand, anti-angiogenics are frequently not even made available in a post surgery context, particularly if perforations are a concern, so having some kind of agent that can throttle tumor growth without impacting compromised tissue would be a benefit.

I guess there are no good answers until we can do whole body simulations to test drugs and all of their corner cases en masse.
There are many many wonderful math books, and many many wonderful math resources on youtube. (As well as, of course, many many terrible ones!) I second AOPS! They have a fantastic series for younger kids called "Beast Academy" (https://beastacademy.com), and their challenge problem sets are fantastic!

I'm wondering why you ask. What is the impetus here?
> It doesn't include nation states and highly sophisticated attacks.

Do you really believe that only nation states can get into Apple's machines? I'd agree that Apple is pretty far up there in security reputation, but if there was a headline tomorrow of "iMessage Backups of 2 Million Users For Sale On Tor" would it really surprise you?

I don't even trust _myself_. I self-host my family's Matrix server, and we still encrypt all our conversations.
I bought a moto g30 for this very reason. Stock android. I could disable each and every crap that came in the stock android which isn't possible in any custom ROM.

>That one is 90% gone and Apple will likely kill off the remainder before long. They're in the consumer gadgets business now, that there is accidentally a computer in there somewhere is more of a historical artifact than the main business driver. It's all about eco-systems and lock in, not about productivity or creativity.

Huge disagree, the 2021 MBP's that will launch later this year will bring back lots of creatives. Digital Content is going to scream on ARM Macs.
I think Apple Sillicon has brought back a renewed focus on the Mac and performance and customers will follow.
Not surprised this is downvoted on hackernews. A lot of people around here don’t want to acknowledge that a lot of these software companies are engaged in fraud and pushing hustle culture.
we wanted to, but it's quite steep of a learning curve to create and consume according to spec.
Yes, but we are effectively subsidizing them with increased health care costs due to type 2 diabetes and other illnesses.
