That state versus trait distinction is really interesting. I have a very negative view of people's self-perceived traits - for many people, it seems more important to have a story to tell that makes them a unique person, than to be rational.

Presumably some perceived traits have positive effects - driving one's own behaviour with "I'm not a quitter" or whatever. But I find it fascinating that traits might not always be strongly correlated with what people actually do.

German userbase, B2C, I offer PayPal, Stripe and SEPA wire transfer:

70-75% PayPal
15-20% Stripe
7-9% SEPA wire transfer
For me this is the most shocking:

" the case was only able to move forward because Diaz had not signed one of Tesla’s mandatory arbitration agreements which the company uses to force employees to resolve disputes without a public trial"

I think this is something very US-specific that is it legal to have an agreement that someone gives up basic citizen right like going to court and the right to have a public trial.

In most countries something like this is just an abusive clause in the contract and is invalid automatically.

People use PayPal, Venmo, Revolut, etc mostly for convenience. You just need a phone number or email to send a payment, compared to a bank/wire transfer where you first need to obtain the account number you’re sending to.

All of these services (including PayPal) charge no fees for personal payments. Just to merchants for commercial transactions, which often come with buyer protection, free credit/payment plans for the buyer, etc.
I love how Americans are totally fine with paying a tax on every transaction they make in order to protect random people from occurrences of financial fraud, yet are vehemently opposed to exactly the same system for healthcare.

I mean, rationally you would expect the opposite: people typically don't do $10k+ transactions using credit cards, so a worst case consequence of fraud you're not protected from is quite small.

But for medical emergencies, the worst case cost is orders of magnitude larger, so a system that protects everyone (financially) is much more beneficial.

With a better immune response, infected people are also less contagious. So technically, yes, vaccines stop the infections.
The settlement does not follow a mere claim, here you have a court that inflicted punitive damage to Tesla after a trial.

Also most business are not racist nor hostile to the extent Tesla is described by the victims, otherwise they would indeed be shut down.

Your cameras and microphones argument makes no sense. Racist graffitis in the restroom does not require big brother level of surveillance for the company to start an internal investigation.

Also mandatory arbitration agreements is obviously used to avoid both dealing with toxic behavior inside the company and public backlash.
From an outside perspective: On one hand the US keeps a large portion of its black male population in prison, on the other hand there are these random stories of huge payouts to people who suffered the right form of racism under the right circumstances. A tradition of an activist form of "lawfare" that escalates tensions rather than cooling them off.
On the other hand, account numbers are not a significant 'secret' or something like that. They are just as 'safe' to share as phone numbers.
I doubt it’s a common thing, but if I can send cash in the mail, I just do that. I always have extra stamps and cash is king. Can be zero paperwork for the recipient if they just pocket it (ok by me when it’s a solo project).

Sometimes works out really well if I have spare US$ or EUR sitting around (I’m in Canada).

Maybe some donations get lost or stolen, but zero-fees makes it a net benefit in my mind.

For someone whose transactions are principally in their own home town and state, denying access to random long-distance numbers would be a feature.

The restriction isn't against calls from those of South Asian Indian heritage, it is against calls made from India.

A critical property of space is that it puts those who are in the same loction near one another, and those who are not, far apart. The fact that telecoms obliterates distance is not an unalloyed good.
Why won't it change things? My team was responsible for implementing STIR/SHAKEN at a large Telco. Customers could, in the future, block calls for which the number is inaccurate (B/C attestation). If you get a call from a number, you should be able to know the number owner actually made the call. Then, robocall laws could be enforced, since you can actually find the responsible party from the number that dialed you.

I still use PayPal because it has the best global coverage and least friction for consumers. Their new checkout form also seamlessly accepts credit/debit cards and does subscriptions.

Many of my customers are in countries that aren’t supported by Stripe, so it’s not much of a choice from a business perspective.
To me that reads that they want to sign software (artifacts) to make it dependent on their infrastructure. Not wanting to downplay contributions Google made to the web and software in general, but I would be suspicious here.
There is no need to make it any more complex than "facebook, the company, messed up, now their properties are broken". An overly elaborated analogy just makes you sound condescending.
Automation like this is definitely a helpful first step for maintainers who want to prepare good release notes.

I wrote a provider-neutral guide for using git itself to help automate the preparation of good release notes, and also provide some more specific advice on how to make them worth reading:

A day in court is ALWAYS preferable to forced arbitration, especially in civil cases between cash-rich entities and individuals. We have an appeals system for a reason.
US tax laws are monstrously complicated. There’s a couple thousand pages of tax code, along with close to 10,000 pages of IRS regulations, that you won’t understand adequately unless you’ve also studied the many tens of thousands of pages of related case law. There is no single person alive who fully understands US tax laws, and even a well resourced team of people likely won’t when combined.

It’s possible to understand it well enough to get by, but you’re pretty much guaranteed to make mistakes in one way or another, and some of those mistakes are pretty much guaranteed to be criminal offences. You could live your whole life without that ever becoming an issue, but the gamble you’re taking isn’t that you’re never going to make a mistake (you will), it’s that the IRS will never commit any considerable resources to investigating your mistakes.

I've never used pairing, nor seen it used, other than as a way of helping get someone up to speed on a task in an area or process unfamiliar to them.
I could have believed it given Facebook’s record for unpleasantness, but I think the fact it must have cost them tens of millions in advertising revenue is evidence against this. Even the closest thing we have to a cyberpunk dystopia isn’t going to throw that much money down the crapper to bury bad press.
I understand the feeling, but SMS really doesn't work. A the end of the day, it is just a hack on top of the telephone network.

There are countries were SMS is actually local to the carrier, and they don't route user messages out of their bounds. In the olden days it was fun asking people where they contract their phone to decide wether to mail them or message them.

Some countries have horrible reliability for SMSes, I think India is a famous one. Trying to do user auth over SMS becomes a nightmare.

Then the issues if you cross borders, where you'll be enjoying both countries SMS idiosyncrasies on top of the round trip costs.

Then carriers won't open SMS to non voice SIMs, even if they get an access to the network. But you'll need to meet specific criteria to get a voice enabled SIM.

All in all, it's a tried and true protocol in limited setups, but not something to hold as a global gold standard (I think there sadly is no global standard to hold on a pedestal...we can hope we make one in the future)
About the charge backs if one is mainly shopping from local companies there is really strong consumer protection laws instead.

Basically you can demand a refund and if they don't give it to you it is a really simple process of just sending a bill to that company for your money and initiate bankruptcy process if they fail to pay.

It's nice to see someone care about their work this much, and that he gets the time to do it well.

His point about the viewer not noticing the translation, if done well, and that it's easier if he cares about the story, highlight some of my main complaints about subtitles.

Denmark doesn't have a tradition for dubs, but with streaming it has become used more often, and subtitles don't always get the attention described in the article. Very frequently it's clear that the translator have a poor understanding of US culture, when translating subtitles to Danish. I suspect the reason could be price. When translating to English, it fine if it costs a bit more, the translation will be used by hundreds of million people. Danish, it will be used by at most 6 million people, assuming that the entire population watch the same movie. Realistically, at the most 1 million people will benefit from a translation.

I still see Danish subtitles that are clearly made by a Swede, who just happen to know enough Danish that you don't notice most of the time and as mentioned, subtitles translated by someone with limited knowledge of the culture of the country that created the movie.
I don't think the point is being made from the standpoint that facebook ought to be punished, but from a more pragmatic one that no one private entity should be in control of something so vital
Yup, this ruling looks strange. Why Tesla has to pay because some morons were telling racist jokes? I think this guy should sue those who were offending him, not the company.

I guess many people think that the law has been stretched here too far, but prefer not to comment as this could be considered "racist".
It really depends. I've put someone through a disciplinary before for a really expensive failed change. Not because they made the mistake but because they failed to do any sanity checks before hand or post-imp checks - they just bashed it in and walked away.

I'd never go this route with a geniune mistake as they are life's best lessons. But there is a difference between an honest mistake and a mistake that could have been easily avoided had process been followed.

UK Brit here. Countries like the UK and the US certainly have their flaws, but I'd take them before nearly everything else that's on offer.

China's system seems terrible. The whole of Africa seems like a corrupt system. The EU seems mostly woke, and I'm not sure I particularly want that.

Please forgive my naiveness but isn't this article just bundling well known and basic failure modes, which are already covered in distributed system 101 courses, into a new keyword?

The article covers retry storms, cache invalidation and resets (which even AWS documented well[1]), and brownouts. These are basic distributed system failure modes. What is there to gain by coining a redundant keyword to refer to basic failure modes in distributed systems which are already covered in intro courses?

Not really. The Turkish drone projects were created basically because Turkish engineers looked at all the drone stuff happening in the west and went "look at all these idiot westerners using all these amazing weapons as toys". Everyone who joined those companies knew from the start what field they were in.

And while the original Kargus didn't have explosives, that doesn't mean they weren't weapons. In the military sense, a radio that's being used to call in artillery is a weapon. Whether the bomb is on the drone itself or is fired at something the drone is surveilling doesn't change what the drone is.
It is quite a normal thing in subcontracting.
I despise the company that Facebook is, and hope that it crashes and burns in ignominy such that by comparison we remember AOL fondly.

That said, I'm utterly alarmed by calls such as this to "regulate" Facebook. We really want to legitimize f*cking Facebook like that by nationalizing / turning it into a utility? Then we'll be stuck with it for-goddamn-ever

Let's stick to principles, enforce existing (or write effective) anti-monopoly, consumer- and data- protection laws.

And, I'm fine with taking the karma hit if even one person hears this: You. Yes, you, reading this. Stop bitching about Facebook and delete your account. We as a society can neither build nor evaluate anything better while you, and yes, I mean you, you specifically, reading this, use Facebook. Especially when you rationalize it by reference to the fact that everyone else is on it. Kick that crutch out from under yourself and learn how to keep in touch with friends, family and that cute barista without compromise. Delete your account.

Thank you for listening.
Same answer, I suppose.

I take the point that this is complex, but that doesn't discard OS/community by default. It's not impossible that community built OS could produce software trustworthy enough to be widely usable. FOSS has played in high stakes arena successfully before.

I would say that the point you and GP make demonstrate that "move fast and break" or "MVP" stuff can't be applied easily. That's not specifically something that impacts OS. It's just a difficulty of the space.
You focus only on the tone and the dirty word, and extrapolate grandiose judgements based on that. But you're completely ignoring there is no better way to describe "Web3" than "bullshit", and the fact that it was disrespectful to dupe readers of otherwise reputable high-quality blog into the blockchain mania.

Yeah, the banking regulator and the banking industry alliance added that as a feature with the New Payments Platform in Australia. You register a ‘PayID’ with your bank (can be a phone number, email address, company number etc.) and then you just share that with people to do free real-time transfers (between basically any Australian banks).
My feeling is that Americans are easier targets of fraud for technical and legal reasons.

E.g. 'stealing someones identity' is a thing. Where I live, SSN and driver licenses are public record (you can get a photo copy of anyones driver license), so they are unusable for fax scams. Having a system built on such items being 'secret' is probably a culprit.
There's already a "compare" selector on the current/old releases page that lets you do just that with two clicks.
DNS is distributed. thats the problem, you can return nonsense but it might be ignored by the legion of other DNS services that are caching your responses.

because of this there are lots of settings in most servers to ignore and sanitise shitty responses.
Yeah, but in mathematics we end up in the classical Lisp vs ML discussion, there is a known paper about both styles actually, arguing for ML, as it was written from someone on the ML side of the fence.

In any case, maybe "Computer Algebra with LISP and REDUCE: An Introduction to Computer-aided Pure Mathematics" is something to dive into,

Well, because you can fail on initial assumptions. And may spread officially-false information.

This is not meaningless fluff. It may not provide info to technical persons, but valid info to other persons, as others noted (was hacked: yes/no).

Getting down to root cause takes time. It is usually multiple-things-at-once that caused X to happen. And then they must also make a decision on how to prevent X to happen again. All that must be written into RCA. It takes days not hours.

An example from my life: Service has intermittent disruptions. Antivirus activity correlated 100% with disruptions. Upon further investigation turns out that AV was just doing its job when there was less load. (And before anyone points out why on earth there is AV on such service, well, because it deals with user uploaded files)

So what should I have called out - AV is the guilty one? And then say: oh, no, false info.
It's really the air tightness that causes CO2 buildup, rather than insulation. "Insulation" tends to mean materials which reduce thermal conduction - e.g. rockwool, PU foam etc. You can have a very well insulated but also well ventilated space which doesn't have CO2 buildup (obviously at the cost of some thermal performance). Likewise you can have a very airtight but poorly insulated space which does suffer from CO2 buildup (the most extreme example being an inflated plastic bag). The shed may be air tight, but the presence of insulation isn't causing that.

As others have said, the solution is a heat recovery ventilation system. These use counterflow heat exchangers to move almost all the heat energy from the outgoing air to the incoming air - generally they have an efficiency of about 80%.
