That's six, and you probably need the physical card for the debit for ATM access anyways. If you're in the Chase ecosystem, you're probably better off using the Chase cards and transferring to Southwest as a transfer partner, too, as you'll get better earn rates on every category than using the airline card itself.

Quite a few cards are worth having, but only in the sock drawer most of the time.
Says who? I have great with only one credit card. The key to good credit isn't some esoteric process to game the system. Its having a good and long credit history.
Unclear whether we're in violent agreement. Parenting is all about evoking interests whilst suppressing urges. Since money is a means of both its importance comes out in the wash, so to speak.
Eh, I think there is two ways this can go.

If you're really working with people who are 'so stupid' as to take estimates literally and make plans assuming guaranteed success in those times, then you probably have other leadership/management/risk problems in your company and are doomed anyway.

There are plenty of time where there's a little bit of managerial art to communicating estimates to customers and prospects. For example, if my devs say "October, the API will be available", I may share that with the client if I understand that in reality it will take the client a long time to actually start using that API in production. So I may say "Probably early November..." with the mutual understanding that that's when they'll begin to integrate but the thing may not actually be prod-ready from either of our sides till January. It's complicated!

Another aspect: if the kids ask what things cost, answer (truthfully).

Depending on your culture, it might be weird /unusual/inappropriate to talk about how much rent you pay, how high that restaurant bill was, what you pay for a new car etc.

But if the kids are supposed to learn the value of things and of money, don't dodge those questions.
I don't have any particular approach right now (my oldest is only 7), but I am trying to be open about finances with them. When we purchase things at the store or online we talk about how we are spending x dollars, or that we pay for the water and electricity we use, I get paid for the work I do for my job, like that.

As they get older I will definitely introduce other concepts like personal finance, checking accounts, credit and loans, investing, taxes, saving, and so on. Like any complex problem I don't think there is a simple solution, just lots of conversations over time.
Levels: How We Work Without Meetings
I think they were being sarcastic. Implied that parents should take responsibility.
It's something libraries have been doing for a while. Here's a statement from the American Library Association in January 2019:

https://www.ala.org/aboutala/sites/ala.org.aboutala/files/co...

Key points:

Whereas monetary fines present an economic barrier to access of library materials and services;
Whereas there is mounting evidence that indicates eliminating fines increases library card adoption and library usage;
Whereas monetary fines create a barrier in public relations, and absorb valuable staff time applying, collecting, and managing dues;

In other words: fines discriminate against poor people and make it harder for them to use the library. The whole point of a library is to make books available to everybody, especially those who can't afford them.

The pandemic gave them all a good opportunity to make the policy change, but the goal had been in place for a while.
What if someone is known to have committed a crime and police look at surveillance footage from nearby red-light cameras?

Or if that person is thought to have visited that location in the past, could they use that footage?

Which brings another question, what about facial recognition performed by a human? Investigators can presumably scour video or surveillance data by hand, but I guess just not by machine? Can they use face detection to simplify picking out faces? Zoom in and enhance?

It's very tricky when passing legislation to narrow in on the pernicious aspects of "facial recognition"
Competition is very much a problem for consumers.

Even if it is only the irresistible attraction of two-sided markets, Facebook's dominance suppresses new social networks and online communication channels that would compete for user attention and result in better services.

I would point to the stagnation in services like "ICQ", "Google Talk", "Skype", "Skype for Business", "AOL Messenger", "MSN Messenger", "AOL Messenger", "Facebook Messenger", "Paltalk", "Go2Meeting", "Zoom", ...

If you look really closely you see signs of progress, but the usual conversation goes like.

I'd like you to try service B.

Why should I?

Remember Service A?

It sucks now

Well service B works as well as service A did back in the day, you should try it!

You see telephone service getting better over time (1G through 5G cellular service, smartphones, better cameras) because an Android customer can call an iPhone customer, because a Verizon customer can call a T-Mobile customer. Phone vendors compete to make better phones, carriers compete to run better networks because they interoperate.

If they don't interoperate then "competition" is just a matter of having the biggest network and letting two-sided markets keep competition away. You end up with the old AT&T which couldn't deliver new and improved services to customers even though it had PhD's who developed missile defense systems, million-fold improvements in inter-city bandwidth, UNIX, etc.
EC2, Amazon's cash cow, competes with nearly identical offerings from Microsoft and Google, and is not a place where additional features are often all that valuable to customers. Any sort of breach like this on EC2 would seriously hurt Amazon's bottom line and they know it.
Integration is an interesting problem though. With Scaleway's c14 cold storage, I felt the reasonable choices were use their S3 services for more or don't use their S3 oriented archive service at all. Moving everything around to different S3 services for different purposes seems like something I don't want to sign up for.
The intern wasn't the single point of failure. They just triggered the failure. This should have been obvious at the design stage and pre-mitigated.

And if they don't mitigate it now, every hacker with access into their network now knows how to bring the whole show down in an instant.
Drywall anchors that cannot be easily removed, you should push through the drywall, not try to remove them. As a homeowner, it’s also worth learning basic drywall repair skills. You can buy 2’ x 2’ pieces of drywall and remove and replace a section between studs pretty easily. Learning to tape and mud properly so that it doesn’t show after painting is the hardest part and takes some practice.

> The reason banks want you to use their app is they can collect more data than Apple passes along.

There’s incredibly strict laws around banking privacy in NL (and most of the EU). My banks can’t even mine my transactions for any inference, except fraud. They need my approval to even categorize or track spending.
Very similar situation in Canada, systematically. Avg. home prices gain in value more than average pre-tax incomes, which is absurd, and depends on every increasing numbers of warm bodies to work at Tim Horton's or to get Accounting degrees and work for US Big4 firms based in Toronto etc.. I's not a sustainable situation and politicians will not talk about it, because the top 60% who own homes are more likely to vote and have influence than the bottom 40%. It's the actual 'class war' most people in positions of influence are wary to talk about.
Social Physics
They're not "wrong" in tests of their real-valuedness though.

I'm somewhat confident there is an empirical test of real-valuedness in areas of physics which require infinite-valued spaces.

However, either way -- the positions of the other commenters was that *geometry* is somehow a dispensable approximation in physics!

This is an extremely radical claim with no evidence whatsoever. Rather some discrete mathematicians simply wish it were the case.

It is true that *maybe* (!) spacetime will turn out discrete, and likewise, Hilbert spaces, etc. -- and all continuous and infinite dimensional things will be discretised.

This however is a project without a single textbook. There is no such physics. There are no empirical predictions. There are no theories. This is a project within discrete mathematics.
Consider the scenario which is now legal in the EU:
A group of police personnel watching CCTV recordings and live feeds trying to find a suspect. They do it with their own eyes. They employ state of the art neural networks, trained on just a blurry photo and verbal description of the suspect. And it takes a lot of time.

The benefits of automating this step are so large, that the ban if it were to happen will be temporary. Facial recognition is already here, and it becomes more accessible every year.

I think instead of banning facial recognition we should find ways to prevent it from being abused. Something that would prevent democratic countries turning into another China or Russia of surveillance.
You got this wrong, the title is a bit confusing though.
It's about Apple not allowing other software to use the NFC and using it to force apple pay.

> If you build it, they will take it away from you. That's the European market for you and compounding legal issues like this make it a difficult one to foster innovation in.

Now that a really stupid statement, what does it even mean?
Europe is a bad guy that goes from house to house to steal kids drawing?
Europe bashing every time there's a form of regulation is really exhausting. So Europe should be a lawless place?

By better systems, I hope you are also including, to name a few: Remote Play, Remote Play Together, Game Streaming, Screenshot capture, Controller API that also works in Desktop, a project to help Linux compatibility with zero effort from the game devs.

I think people just consider Steam as a store, but it has become much more than that.
> I know it's frustrating to see the good work we do get mischaracterized, especially for those of you who are making important contributions across safety, integrity, research and product.

IMHO FB could blunt some measure of criticism by setting the home newsfeed to by default show you chronological updates from your friends and followings, like Facebook used to be back in the day.
When someone feels sufficiently burnt out to leave a company they play a key role in, and are passionate about, I wouldn't judge them too harshly when they feel the need to vent their frustration.

The mature thing to do is to see it for what it is. Not to judge people who've had a hard time.
As someone pointed out in that thread, there's also an HN account that appears to be a sockpuppet of the CEO[1], used to astroturf his projects (wasmer and a previous one).

For me, finding that was one of the things that made me pick wasmtime over wasmer for my own project.

> The organization should be designed to execute its mission in the most cost effective and transparent manner.

I argue that this describes a specific type of organization in a specific environment (context). namely a business organization in a capitalist market.

There exist other types of organizations. (However I may be blurring the line between organization and institution)

It's proprietary info, part of the scoring models. I think the magic number for best score is actually 20+, but it also counts the closed accounts over the last 7 to 10 years, too.

I recall seeing this in Credit Karma or maybe Experian's FreeCreditScore at one point (that you have to have 20 or 21 accounts for the best score), but cannot find it right now. I think it's a relatively well known number.

Facebook collects way more data than what you choose to publish. Not to mention, if you want to delete something, Facebook should delete it. Whether other third-parties archive it is beyond scope.
I don't think python has the mindset of "exceptions are extremely rare". That is probably what the OC meant by python being "a language where idiomatic control flow uses exceptions". As an example, every iterator in python signals its end by throwing a StopIteration exception. So, every "for x in iter" has the interpreter throwing and catching an exception.
No, but I also wouldn't consider that a real lossy dither. I mean like 3-4 colors, small pixel size blown up sharply, etc. etc.

> On the other hand, if my API had a different input type for each country's tax ID,

Then you've significantly increased the work (and opportunity for bugs) required of a downstream programmer, and also made it significantly more likely that they won't support all countries, and of course they could also still send the wrong type...
> More often than not American dates would use a 06/10/2021

No, we use the nonsense MM/DD/YYYY ordering (usually without leading 0s). 6 Oct would be 10/6/2021.

ISO/RFC 3339 YYYY-MM-DD is really the way to go…
The translater should emit async statements so that you can execute interruptable javascript threads.
I’ve wondered when we’d start having “AI” compression algorithms that take into account the subject matter over what we have now. JPEG, for example, just takes each 16x16 pixel block and throws away high frequency information with no regard for what that information was.
Very fascinating, but as they said cannot be compared because they rely on different requirements.

It only works because the model allready knows what a 'giraffe' is. It's pre-stored. But if one had to describe a giraffe, one needs to rely on other things which we take for granted that humans know (like what hair and eyes look like).

By that standard I can say that a picture of albert einstein only takes like 30 bytes if i assume the recipient knows what he looked like.
Not to be a hater but is any site really powered by a custom language? Or is it merely just a JS front end.

you can definitely have one of those perfume sprayers, and there's bound to be lots of companies making a "morning woods" fragrance somewhere that you can plug in there
While there are plenty of money or value specifics that are important to know, the basis tends to revolve around planning.

Humans are very bad at predicting the future or looking ahead, so planning, having contingencies and being prepared to various degrees is the foundation for a lot of other things that make society/civilisation work.
I don't even think it's that likely myself, although if I had to pick a percentage chance of it happening in the next five years I suspect would be much higher than yours (if I had to give a number today, I'd give it a 7% chance).

Great Britain I'd peg a bit higher, around a 12% chance, based on some articles I've been reading about their Brexit and supply chain issues.
The ads are. The data being collected to target those ads is not.

I guess a non-malicious way of collecting the data for ad purposes could be to collect it locally and offer the user to review it before sending it off.
The Sticky Problem of Making Facebook Go Away
Most African and Asian countries have laws against the production or distribution of pornography.

Unless you're talking to Church members, it's not really seen as a moral concern but a simple procedural problem: we can't easily be sure if pornography was produced with willing knowing participants and the economic benefits are not worth the bureaucracy to make sure.

The whole article is an odd scattershot approach of criticizing many different countries without naming specifics of the law and only interviewing the 'victims' without getting any insight into the actual governments---who are democratically elected and literally pay people to respond to these questions.

For example, the Uganda law was dropped[1] and the arrested model never faced any jail time or fines. In the Uganda case, the law went further than any others by criminalizing nudity and 'indecent' clothing regardless of context, which is insane considering nudity is not naturally taboo in our culture (nudity taboos were imported from Christian missionaries). It even criminalized 'indecent' language like songs about sex. It was light-years past a 'anti-pornography' law but it's being lumped in under the same banner because the article is in my opinion lazily written.

The Rwanda case was a politician being shamed---not an example of a law being used against anyone.

Lydia's case has no country attached but she used the anti-pornography laws to get her ex-boyfriend to stop posting her pictures on social media. That's a case of the law being used for good, right?

In the Tanzania case, the woman herself is urging the government to take action against the people who illegally posted her pictures [2]. Why is this article using that example as support for the anti-pornography camp?

All said, it just doesn't make sense.

Yes, you are right that an enterprise agreement is probably the safest approach and it's definitely something we have looked into since the beginning of the year.

In our case, one of our games DAU went pretty crazy last Christmas which resulted in a huge increase in players (who all need to download hundreds of MB of data). Maybe if it'd continued for many months the situation would be different and that angry email from CF would have eventually arrived.
My #1 concern is total monthly cost to store data, that's it.
I've seen this one in the wild and have objections to it.

- why capitalize KEYWORDS. We're no longer in 1970s. We use colors
- why waste so much space. Why not just put table on the same line with from. With joins this just bloats up
- for complicated conditions they have to be put on their own lines. Do I give each AND a separate line and waste ever more space?
I'd argue the Green Party's main ideas are already embraced by the democrats. I'm not saying Yang's party has a prayer of picking up even a single seat, either, just picking up enough votes to get their ideas noticed.
Agreed. I recently started exploring Twitch and in the first hour of just sitting there watching it, I was surprised how aggressively, exploitative it was. The fact that it's young people there exploiting makes it even more gross.
Why would you doubt it? Cloudfare is a legit company and a migration workflow like this does not sound like a feat of engineering to accomplish
Hmm I got a "normal" result on the tritan test (although the last one was quite difficult) but the two spectrums looked exactly the same! I don't really trust this too much. Particularly since it's highly dependent on what screen you view it on.
We have libraries that solve many problems for us.

But those libraries often have parameters, switches, hints, and secret knowledge of the type "do not solve problem X by doing Y because although it seems okay on the surface, the implementational details will increase the complexity from O(N) to O(N^2); use this trick instead".

So we use libraries to solve the problems, but we also need years of experience using those libraries, or we easily create problems we didn't expect. Often there are many alternative libraries for the same task, and the library-specific knowledge becomes obsolete in later version.
Possibly, but more importantly it is also just plain immoral. It's disturbing how readily this community wishes to access, analyze, copy, and redistribute this stolen information. This same community that bemoans corporate exploitation of data now getting its rocks off creeping on stolen data.

Nice find. That was written by Willard van Orman Quine, the noted logician/philosopher whose surname was adopted to refer to computer programs that are designed to output their own source code.

Let's make it concrete.

She proposes a ministry for regulating tech which means there will be a permanent line between Washington and large social media companies. This is a horrible approach by any objective meassure and it would obviously also institutionalize Facebook (see "An array of possible next steps"[1]). This indicate that I am right this is not an attempt at weakening Facebook and social media in general, but an attempt to commandeer its power to censor.

Since she is proposing a political body with the power to censor all social media, why is evidence of her political motivations and potential political connections to the whistleblowing a strawman?

> In closing, I get that you and others are frustrated that certain types of posted content are targeted for removal. However, that in and of itself does not mean meaningful and opposed discourse can't occur or that anyone has a "right" to post wherever they like, saying whatever they want.

New discoveries are in the margins, and is indistinguishable from nonsense. A lack of certainty and a certain amount of curiosity is needed to go through the process of distinguishing the two, which is why tyrannical regimes do not innovate well.

Why are you so certain that you are right and is capable of knowing when dissenters are wrong? Whom do you think is capable of distinguish truth from falsity in the margins, and censor with absolute power without falling for the temptation to misuse it?

> It is that it (your comments) may not occur without significant work involved that we all care about. Cheap and easy discourse isn't good for anyone, harms society, and will continue to be exploited until we come up with a technical solution to solve it.

This accusation of dissenters not doing the work, while those in tech that censor do, is not supported by evidence.

Censorship by tech has in the last year been wrong on major important points, e.g:

- Not long ago the lab leak hypothesis was censored, delaying potential life saving measures

- Not long ago Hunters laptop was called fake and censored, affecting democratic primary outcome and election outcomes

- Not long ago early treatment solutions to covid was censored, delaying deployment of early treatment solutions similar to the one Merck just released [2]
