>And when they decide that you were charged correctly and tell you to pound sand? Or when you can't contact them because they closed your account but are still charging you?

Same as when they won't refund my card I take the loss.

>I'm now genuinely curious, have you never heard of a credit card chargeback?

Last 2 times I tried it (debit card refund) it didn't work and I got no money back. The majority of cases it's the business that issues my refund.

At any rate there's nothing stopping you from having a refund functionality or escrow built into a dapp if that's what users want.
Since the beginning, the problem was knowing the difference between dying "with" covid and dying "because" of covid. IMHO, the best way of looking at the impact of the pandemic is by looking at the excess mortality year by year. Old people does show a pike,proving that there definitely was an impact, but for the general population it is barely noticeable.

overall the impact of the pandemic on demographic evolution will be 0. OTOH, the impact on society and its standard regarding personnal freedom , and what it is ready to accept will be huge. It is definitely a turning point in that regard.
This is only bad if you hold on to the antiquated notion that all humans need to be working at least half of their day; but as robots take over more and more tasks, this will become less and less realistic until at some point a relatively small number of workers can oversee and maintain the machines doing the vast majority of the work.

At some point along the way we will have to accept that a world like that cannot keep everyone employed and find some form of alternative.

How soon along the way we make that change may be the deciding factor in whether we end up at an automated utopia or an orwellian dystopia.

The Fair Housing Act does not apply to roommates or when you sublet someone living in your own home (which you will continue to occupy), and this posting appears to be an example of that. The shared housing market is something that a lot of craigslist ads target.

Yes, Robin Milner was at Edinburgh when he created the first version of ML.

It was an identification of a sub-group, not an insult. But as far as I can recall, it has always been fair game to criticize public figures for their espoused opinions and public actions.

Being offended by everything, and making it everyone else's fault, is the part that is new these days.
Ok, let's see if I'm following the discussion right. let's say you buy an NFT for using a GIF of the Techno Viking, from the Viking himself, and Reddit verifies it. Now you are the only person on Reddit that can have a Techno Viking GIF signature, yippee! Except I can make a new NFT of the same GIF and nothing in the NFT itself betrays that it wasn't issued by the real Techno Viking, so it's up to him, Reddit and you to call me out and reach for old school copyright laws to stop me from using it. Which is no different than me uploading a Techno Viking video to YouTube and getting sued by him or flagged by YouTube, is it?
I'm with you on your second paragraph, except that I can totally see myself giving up meat if there was a substitute that tasted just as good.

> The Cisco 5500 series chassis is ... jam packed with custom ASICs

Assuming you’re talking about the NCS 5500, I thought the whole point of that platform was that it wasn’t using Cisco proprietary ASICS and was just using Broadcom chips with IOS-XR wedged on it anyway to give it the appearance of being a budget competitor to the ASR9K while lacking the majority of the feature set because ... it’s not using Cisco’s proprietary ASICS that support all those features.

Also, they have full ipv6 routing and switching support. So does the C6500, which is ancient (and still in production in many places)

I was really depressed to see the absence of reaction yes.

I happen to be working on an e2e messaging app at the moment, and i really started to wonder if people really cared at all about privacy, as well as all what we consider our fundamental rights.

I came to the conclusion that most are ready to trade everything for a bit of a sense of security. Scare them enough and you can get anything you want from them.
Each API still needs to have its own custom body, with specific mandatory keys and values. The name of the verb is just another key and value ... so how is this different from existing APIs? Not different much.

The only addition introduced here is the support for third-party CloudFormation resources. So the same AWS APIs can now be used to directly manipulate third party resources without using CloudFormation at all.

No contradiction. It's 28x more heat trapping and turning into CO2, it becomes 1x.
If you do only one trip a year, then that trip costs 140€ (37 * 2 + 66)

If you do the trip 10 times a year then it costs 81€ per trip (37 * 2 + 66 / 10).

So in this case the occasional rider pays 59€ more per trip than the regular rider.

Your link is to a public housing project. It discusses the reasons why it became a slum, such as white flight and desegregation.

Not sure if you have ever lived in an apartment if you think grocery shopping is a “Herculean” task. You just take the elevator and walk a block or two to the grocery store. Furniture is actually easier than in a SFH because you don’t have to struggle to move it up stairs, you just pop it in an elevator. Package deliveries go to a concierge at the front desk rather than being stolen or getting wet on the porch if you’re not home, etc.

In general looking at trends of the 1960s to predict behavior today won’t work - there’s been a trend toward reurbanization in the last 30 years and white flight has reversed and been replaced with gentrification. The “slums” are now being pushed into city outskirts and suburbs themselves.
Thanks so much for this. It’s how I read HN :)

Semantic document structure need not have a fixed presentation.

Old-school UMIX manpages written in roff were most often displayed on VT-100 terminals, were designed to be compatible with teletypes, and yet could be printed pretty-formatted in variable-width fonts with true italic, bold, and point sizes.

You can still see this, e.g.:

man -Tps clear | ps2pdf > clear.pdf

Open that and you'll find a fully typeset document.

Which is kind of the point of semantic markup: it is independent of presentation.
Not cool. Please don't enhance your mood at the expense of damaging the ecosystem. I'm sure you wouldn't litter in a city park or enjoy setting fires in a dry forest. Please don't do the equivalent on HN.
The latest generation of video game consoles come with NVMe SSDs as standard components, and game developers are starting to target solid state storage as a baseline requirement. So there's some visible progress, with support from GPU hardware vendors, and Microsoft bringing new storage APIs to the table (including a clone of io_uring).

I think any security concerns that might have once privileged hard drives over SSDs have been settled. There are plenty of options for FIPS 140-2/3 certified self-encrypting drives, and broad support for Sanitize operations that instruct the drive to wipe all user data even from storage areas that may not be accessible to the host system (ie caches, spare blocks. Any holdouts still preferring hard drives for security reasons are most probably deluded, and certainly are not influencing the storage market in any meaningful way.

> it is simply impossible to protect against all eventualities.

Of course. No amount of stockpiling will account for a moon-sized asteroid collision.

> JIT is not to blame here.

Kind of. JIT isn't to blame, but the pressures that reward making every level of industry maximize efficiency, such as by using JIT, is. That is the reason for the supply chain crisis.

The market and tax laws pressure companies to optimize for efficiency as much as possible with their supply chains. Another alternative would be to optimize for robustness, but that would naturally be inefficient and would still be unlikely to endure a 100-year catastrophe unless it were completely unable to survive in a competitive market.

That doesn't mean that we need to change anything, necessarily, but it does mean that we have structured our economy to be less resilient than it could be with potentially very little actual upside.

Even so, some supply chains, like food and clean water, really should be robust rather than efficient. Emergency medical supplies, too, should probably be robust rather than efficient. That's why the Obama pandemic plan included warehouses of medical supplies [0] and FEMA stockpiles food and water.

Utility systems, too, should probably favor robustness. Texas has had a horrific year for it's power industry, and it has revealed how a hypercompetitive marketplace doesn't really serve the public best interest.

Consider civil engineering. We could optimize that for efficiency. That would result in a lot more bridge collapses, structure failures, and so on. Instead, we generally try to overbuild when failure would cause injury or death. The same is true in most engineering contexts. In many cases, industry simply doesn't design for robustness until they are held liable for failures. Notice the rise in corporate insurance rates after computer security audits due to the risk of data loss, and the sudden panic of executives to suddenly have secure systems where before they were more than happy to have databases of plain text passwords and so on.

There are alternatives to profit-motivated business efficiency. We have simply chosen not to do that sort of by accident.

They’re valuable to collectors as there is a finite supply of them. There is literally an infinite supply of NFTs, and the works they are a pointer to can be cloned digitally. There is no comparison.
I highly doubt that tools like Terraform/Pulumi will not have custom code for each type of resource. Each type still needs to have its own custom Body with specific data types, some mandatory, some optional. Even if TF supports Cloud Control as yet another resource, using it is going to be a huge mess of untyped/unchecked/undocumented bodies.

That is one side, but the more relevant is that you see the flag to virtue signal. Even arms manufacturers fly it to signal their alleged values. The consequences for LGBT people in nations not really too friendly with western countries is obvious and you need to account for reactionaries and maybe think beyond your bottom line for governmental contracts.

You do realize that todays translation services often reverses the meaning of sentences? They are useful for reading random posts where you don't care about the results, but they should never be used when you absolutely need to know the meaning of statements.

What you did is akin to putting your sleeping friend into a tesla, turn on the autopilot and see the teslan leave on the road, then posting "See, the tesla drove away perfectly, AI really automated driving!". You don't even know if it arrived safely, and even if it did the tech isn't reliable enough to safely do what you did.
because then you'll have to cope with the results
Wouldn't be a bad idea tbh. Raise the tax on meat from industrial deathcamps but not from homegrown.

Yes, I realize it's still death and pollution but the scale of modern farms is simply mindboggling.

Grow and slaughter your own pigs and hens and then decide if you still want to do it for the meat (or the money from selling the meat).

Yep. Think about how long it took to get the whole country on dialup / ADSL, but how long it’s taking the whole country on FTTP (fibre to the premises). It’s a similar issue, as it’s not just a software upgrade, it’s a hardware upgrade as well.

Wallets are not “charged” like credit cards. I fail to see how this is possible.
Personally, I do see a relationship between crime and people fleeing the cities, for obvious reasons. What is concerning is the increase in homicide rates combined with an epidemic of DAs that refuse to prosecute crimes, all against a backdrop of remote work making outmigration much easier. That may well reverse the gentrification trend and we could see a repeat of the 1970s-1980s.

You're both correct and underestimating how broken NFTs are. If you buy an NFT that gives you nothing except bragging rights that you "own" this NFT. What ownership actually means when devoid of the associated rights is anyones guess. Buying an NFT of a GIF doesn't stop anyone from using that GIF on reddit. No one is going around checking if posted GIFs have a matching NFT out there and enforcing property rights based on that.

When you buy an NFT you're not even buying the GIF, you're buying the receipt proving you bought the GIF. What good that is without owning the GIF isn't exactly obvious to me.
I think that people don't act rationally outside of theories taught in Economics 101 classrooms is commonly known. I don't mean it in a derogatory way, being irrational is just part of human nature.
Your NFT’s trade provenance will reveal it was never owned by Technoviking’s key. He won’t need to use copyright law, you simply can’t impersonate him so no one will value your duplicate NFT.
so.. the whole point of the article is "I miss the break keyword"?
Well, I think most people accept it because they really don’t have a choice when it comes to copyright, IP holders will bury them in lawsuits and YouTube will lose most of them.

There is a finite supply of a given NFT and infinite cards can be printed by someone else, you just only care for those minted by a particular authority in either case.

Such grasp of the point - monopoly of legal violence - completely perverts it. Who is given powers to perform a function, plainly must not abuse them.

The police is entrusted with a power to use violence, which means it is given a special responsibility associated with the special power: to abuse it is corruption, which is treason against the mandate, against the role and against the Entity empowering and entrusting.

One is given a hammer, one is entrusted not to smash things. Don't want thing smashed, hire reliable personnel. If a cop is sent and you get gratuitous violence, that individual is unfit for its job, its behaviour is corrupt and it is treason.

this seems to discount historically known political movements in which almost everyone involved, with the benefit of hindsight, was obviously stupid or evil.

Probably these are outliers, so also probably your professor's quote fits well enough most of the time, and only some of the time returns false when it should return true.
> The fact the vaccine has been fully vetted in the same manner as any other vaccine seems to be lost on most folks.

In terms of time, these vaccines very much have not been fully vetted in the same manner as any other vaccine.

> this seems to be an extension of general vaccine hesitancy

In part, yes. However there seems to be roughly an equal amount of people who have never had any objection to vaccines in the past that now do.

> hesitancy which has absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever

You mean Scientific(TM) basis? Because there are numerous reason to be HESITANT in terms of science (the process of uncovering what is and is not true). E.g. vaccine reactions are not a myth - we should study them more; vaccine mechanism is still sometimes opaque - we should know more about that and how someone's genetic play a part; adjuvants that have side effects are also not a myth - what about finding safer adjuvants?

> nuts ... speaking with equal authority and to as broad of an audience as respected scientists, there's a problem

To be clear, you're saying they should be censored?

Censorship is a Russian Doll problem. It's turtles all the way down. Who makes the censors unbiased? Science should continue to be about questioning what is believed and believed to be true.

There are skeptics on both sides of the bell curve of intelligence. A nut, as you say, and an intelligent scientist may both come to the same conclusion - it doesn't make the nut's reasoning correct, but it also doesn't make the scientist's conclusion wrong either, just because the nut believes it too.
Functional programming can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people so declaring something “fake functional” is difficult.

If we get down to brass tacks, functional programming is just solving problems by composing functions, if we want to talk “purely functional” then we’re making more promises regarding side effects and immutability.

So I’d hesitate to call anything “fake functional” myself, I suspect what we call functional languages are often just “languages that do a good job letting us apply functional programming concepts”, and languages that don’t do that well will certainly not feel as good to use as ones that do (if you like the ideas in functional programming that is).

So in a way I agree. I personally can solve problems in Elixir using functional ideas more easily than Ruby. At the same time I could absolutely write a mutable, side effect ridden mess in Elixir or some pretty respectable functional looking code in Ruby.

I think it’s more about what the tool encourages and makes easy for you to do than a binary functional/not-functional designation.

It seems that the fact that Capernicus, the expert of his field(s), and his facts were held in such low regard that he was imprisoned for going against the current group think of what was true.

It doesn't matter how expert one is when the "truth" directly contradicts the established "truth" of populace belief. If populace beliefs are greater than the "truth" (or those who speak them) being proposed, "truth" gets subjugated to the basement level prisons.

To an extent, we are seeing this play out today
