> Debit cards are a very similar product with enough under-the-hood differences that they deserve their own moment in the sun. In particular, due to a quirk of U.S. interchange regulation, they basically fund most of the fintech industry

Basically, the Durbin Amendment caps interchange on debit cards at a far, far lower rate than credit cards; they also have different networks (not MC or Visa) that can be run at least for in person transactions. However, the limit does not apply to banks with less than $10 billion in assets.

This is why some online banks can offer lower fees and sometimes even debit cash back (1% is the most I've seen though, so not competitive with credit). But its also why ever fintech under the sun pushes debit cards so heavily--the debit card is issued by a (small, non Durbin-covered) partner bank who then shares revenue with the fintech company.

At the end of the day, credit cards are still significant better for customers. You can have multiple cards with different benefits while keeping all your money in one place, and you can prevent overdrafts because you don't have random subscriptions taking out unpredictable amounts of money in the middle of the night and causing a check to bounce the next day. You are no longer obsessing over "early payday" features or ACH speeds.

Credit cards also provide a nice hack to allow cash deposit for those with only online banks--you can often use a big bank's ATM to make a payment towards the credit card, allowing you to get rid of ordinary amounts of cash.

Think how many people already gave this data to Apple to unlock their phones.
I read Arthur Turrell's "The Star Builders": https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Star-Builders/Art... a few months ago, and it gives a decent overview of many of the players and approaches, with the caveat that I don't think it talks about FRC reactors at all (what this and TAE are) at all from what I remember, probably because I think many people in the "mainstream" academic/government fusion community seem to not think it's a particularly serious contender.

The general sense that I get (as a purely amateur observer but one who reads a fair bit about the various efforts) is that pretty much everyone thinks ITER will reach a decently high Q, but that it will take forever and be incredibly expensive, and that beyond that, of the people that think any of the startups have a chance (which seems to be a minority among fusion people but a decently big one), there's the most consensus around the potential of the high-field tokamak startups (so that's CFS/(SP)ARC and Tokamak Energy), because the physics is basically the same as with ITER, except facilitated by the much higher-strength fields allowed for by high-temperature-superconductor magnets; there are engineering challenges there still, but it seems like if the physics underlying ITER are sound and the magnets work (which has at this point been demonstrated as a stand-alone thing), the math all adds up. Stellarators (Wendelstein etc.) seem like the next-highest consensus: people seem to think the physics is sound, but it's less far along. Beyond that, other things seem to fall into one of: "the physics basis seems fine but the economics seem questionable" (probably most inertial approaches), "this has been considered at length and many believe this is physically impossible, but it'd be amazing if they're wrong" (TAE, arguably General Fusion, possibly also Helion), or "it'd be incredible if it works and physics doesn't forbid it but it's wildly novel and nobody really knows yet if it has legs" (things like Zap Energy's shear-stabilized Z-pinch plan).

The overarching tldr is that it seems like the approaches that the most people think will work also have some of the most significant operational challenges if they do (breeding tritium, dealing with high neutron flux, etc.), which is why anybody is bothering with the quirkier approaches: if they work, they will probably ultimately work better than the tokamaks do, but they might not work.
> They may find it creepy, but why should it be illegal or regulated by the government in any way?

Because that society has decided that it wants no creepy restaurants at all. Same with unclean ones, discriminatory ones, etc.
Yeah because a vaccine against the beta/wuhan variant which haven't even been updated for the delta variant is great.

99.97% of people will develop antibodies naturally.

And there is early treatment like ivermectin, hydrochloroquine, monoclonal antibodies.
KWin is indeed usable without the rest of KDE. It can be used as the window manager for XFCE or MATE, for example.

Also, I'm not very educated in this matter, but isn't wlroots a fairly good Wayland compositor? Considering sway is built on it and supports both tiling and stacking, I think that might be worth a look.

Looking at the NUM protocol, this looks a lot like X500 type addressing format glued into a DNS record.

Conceptually the idea had legs, but I can't see wholesale adoption of it. Whilst all (most?) of the records are hosted at Num.net it doesn't meet it's promise of decentralised.

It feels like you need a few big-name companies to stand up and endorse you, and set their own NUM entries on their DNS.
Thank you. It matches my impression that lenders in other countries do share information, but mainly negative factors such as defaults. Than means "credit building" does not exist in the same way.

> nearly zero in Japan, historically

That surprises me actually. I know Japan has a very, let's say, high conscientiousness culture but do they never get into economic problems and are simply unable to pay card bills?
Does that line work for you? Have a good one! Hopefully our next conversation works out better.
> It's not blaming capitalism. It's blaming purism.

I've never seen an article that blames "purist capitalism" on HN (maybe two that reference "lassie-faire capitalism"), and dozens that just blame "capitalism", no further elaboration given. The most straightforward explanation is that capitalism itself is being blamed, and I think that this explanation is supported by the recent (past 20 years?) increase in support for socialism/communism (both in the US and globally).
When my father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer his sister, my aunt who is also a Dev, explained the situation to her team and took some time off here and there to help out. Even if theres nothing your coworkers can do they will be more than understanding, they wont get ticked off if you're late with something. You might notice theres a good chance some of them will pick up the slack and never ever mention it. We're all human and we all have a natural tendency to try and help those that we are surrounded by.

If you take anything away from this is don't keep it to yourself, that never works.

Best of luck to your family and your mother.
Hi unwind, thanks for the feedback. We do actually have leadership pages per industry, technology and patent office. E.g. https://goodip.io/iq/top/technologies or https://goodip.io/iq/top/industries. Cleantech innovation categories are going to follow soon.
On the flip side, it's amazing how many minds you can change with a small demo captured in a simple slide deck.
Maybe they just installed it from redhat cd-roms or dvd-roms and never updated their systems, and considered it "trustworthy" because it came on physical media from the vendor. Have seen that more than once.
I think what it's missing is the full lack of cars. You still don't own your streets in SF! The few days Valencia street was closed to traffic in lockdown, for example, were incredible. Street musicians and people dancing, tables and picnics all over with people who wanted coffee having dinner with friends who wanted pizza alongside vegan sushi. It didn't feel like a party for festival, it felt like _life_.
> Are those operations so important?

Yes, absolutely. You can't even implement thread-safe reference counting (std::sync::Arc in Rust) without atomic RMW – or even a thread-safe counter.

A lock-free single-produce-single-consumer (SPSC) queue is pretty simple. As soon as you have more than one producer or more than one consumer, you need atomic RMW.

The problem with keeping these stats is that it only tracks engineers that were hired. I don't think coding interviews are a good predictor of performance, and that's not why I use them.

The point of a coding interview is to eliminate, as fast as possible, people who simply can't code. I'm being completely serious here. They can even have a CS degree (or will claim to but if you look closely they were in an easier program to get into and took CS electives) but cannot write a simple program on the board in an hour.

It's also why I don't like take-homes. First it's trivial to cheat (I don't mean lookup stuff online, just flat out have someone else do the work) and because of that the final stage would still have to be in-person whiteboard (or pair programming over Slack but still have an engineer spend 40+ minutes with the candidate).
Maybe we need to hold the popular packages accountable for stuff like this.
I guess #64 is best followed by an odd handshake.
I can only comment on why it's important for the physician to know about any allergies. Some people have a history or risk of severe allergy and anaphylactic reactions can be potentially fatal. I've had to managed such a reaction in a healthcare setting. Such a reaction is not only potentially fatal but is often very dramatic and sudden. After that I always err on the side of caution and ask for allergies regardless of what the patient's chart says. It's often a wise idea to confirm what's in the chart rather than to blindly trust what's already in there regardless.

It's the physicians job to weigh the benefits against risk of a drug. And potential allergic reactions is a part of that. If a patient with a known history of severe allergic reactions gets another one from a prescribed drug, and the physician hasn't done their due diligence, then the physician could be at fault. I can only imagine that it's even more prudent for US-based physicians to ask that question due to lawsuits and or personal liability.

Also a patients medical status is never static. While unlikely a patient could have had a reaction since the last visit. I guess a more realistic example of something non static is pregnancy status which can be equally important when prescribing drugs etc.
A guy being interviewed as a CTO was trying to argue an entire rewrite was needed to move from Postgres to MongoDB (for tabular data). His argument was, and I quote: ‘I’m right, and I don’t need to explain myself to you.’. That was to the non technical cofounder. To myself he just said, ‘I don’t mean any disrespect, but you don’t know how to scale ’. This was literally for a basic crud application with 0.1% usage on a RDS micro instance.

I would have loved to hear any technical excuse
>Do you realize that the death is not the only possible adverse outcome of COVID-19?

>Vaccines are not only for preventing death.

Nothing in my comment implied death was the only adverse outcome. I didn't even mention death.

Are you replying to the wrong person?
> I thought that whole idea was discredited years ago.

I cackled pretty hard at this one.
Sorry to offend.

I was referencing your assertion that all molecules are prions until proven otherwise.

Also, I asked two questions. Next time try answering them before jumping to being an ass.
Anonymized matomo tracking strips parts of ip address - it is not so precise but it does not track you across those sites. So they have some kind of page counter but it is not same as full analytics.
err, VRChat seems to only have like 30K peak players a month. That's like nothing.

https://steamcharts.com/app/438100

Even if we say it's off by 1000 that's 30 million. Not even 10% of Facebook.

I like VRChat, but it's pretty niche, still.
Hi M_True, thanks for the feedback! Great to hear. Let me know if you need anything else ;-)
Impressive.

How did you get people to try the free version? What worked?
Actually, I tried arch again last month after unfa's video on pipewire support.

Couldn't even revert back to PA when PW failed, the entire system had to be reinstalled.

Can you make it work? Absolutely. Can it fail catastrophically if you make one little mistake? Absolutely.

I watched it a while ago, but the TLDR is more or less that the learning styles (ex: visual learners, or auditory, reading/writing, by doing etc...) are a myth. People do not learn better when we use their preferred learning style. But overall, people do learn better with multi-modal (mixed support / style).

That seems fine. Not the greatest UX but as long as you're able to decline it should be compliant.

Two of my best friends who also happened to be family got cancer. It was painful... in my experience what they say about cancer is true: worst part about cancer isn’t what it does to you. but what it does to the people you love. the ones that continue living... but hey time may help... dogspeed fellow human.
That's actually the theory I developed the first time myocarditis in skinny teenagers was reported many months ago. It just makes sense that spike protein mRNA is getting shotgunned into their heart muscle cells. So, I was rather disillusioned when I saw that theory finally pop up in the news in the last month.

Saying the vaccine didn't cause the myocarditis because it was "injected wrong" isn't a compelling argument to me, or likely to anyone that's thinking rationally.
> Then I was informed there were 2 more rounds (a system engineer interview, and a diversity manager)

A Diversity Manager? Is that a joke?

What would that interview even look like?

To me, the fact that this company is paying staff to conduct these non-technical interviews for technical staff would be a red flag that they clearly can't allocate resources adequately.
Hi woodgrainz. Thanks a lot for the feedback, we are about to fix this issue.
Yeah I played those only.

Unsafe Rust, the undecided interactions between &mut and raw pointers and Pin (whether &mut should invalidate raw pointers permanently or until the &mut ends, whether Pin<&mut T> should be noalias), whether Vec is marked noalias (it isn't) or Box should be (it is), is a mess of undecided semantics that people are nonetheless writing code that hopefully won't be declared illegal in a future compiler version.
If that's what happens in your org I believe there are more serious problems than choosing the right font.
Santa Clara County (aka Silicon Valley) has put out hard limits as to when the mask mandates will leave:

When hospitalization and community transmission is "low" based on the CDC definition of low, and when 80% of the total population is vaccinated or eight weeks from yesterday, whichever comes first. They also publish a dashboard with the information so anyone can see how we are progressing: https://covid19.sccgov.org/dashboards

We were at almost 80% vax rate for 12+ already and hospitalizations are currently low and have been for a while, however community transmission remains high.

So at least in our county they have specific standards as to when the restrictions leave. Other than a mask mandate, there are no other restrictions anymore, except for school kids.
It’s important to point out that anxiety and depression aren’t one condition with one cause, they’re easy to diagnose symptom clusters. What helps some people with them likely won’t help everyone as there are many different underlying causes.

One cause has been suggested and researched that certain gut flora can manipulate your mood to cause you to feed them what they want. I.e. diet and mood can be codependent where the blame goes both ways.
Being your own boss isn't all it's made out to be. You think you will have all the time in the world but in reality you are on call 24/7 so never completely off work.
If you want to see true décentralisation, look to Europe, especially Germany, Switzerland etc., but also the EU

And for an ideology that actually build decentralised but just systems, I am strangely enamored by anarchists.

They(except Ancaps) have been working at this for about 1-2 centuries and it's a hard problem (and not all anarchists are trying to be smart about it). The only way that I can see to make it work (in theory) is to find a way to do confederations of confederations that keep everything more or less manageable with human interpersonal relationships and "sane" local rules on each layer and delegate global things upwards, with shortcuts and balancing mechanisms that make sure the state apparatus stays decentralised, nimble and controlled bottom up, not too down. I think Switzerland and Norway as well as some first Nations are closest to this, but I hope we'll all get there one day.

I don't see a quote as to how much he personally put in. $500M went in so far in total; the rest is milestone-based.

I recently saw an 8-figure round in which the lead put in $25K. But they did the legwork to arrange the round and get everyone else in, so they were the lead. Sam's the board chair, an early investor, and super connected, so he's certainly able to lead a round whether or not he puts in the majority of the cash.

My favorite is "Now, that's not a stupid idea".

I used to do that with a friend at my first job. We'd argue for hours until we found a good solution. The joke, of course, is that everything before then was stupid.

Of course, this assumes goodwill and friendship between the arguing parties. There is nothing wrong with losing an argument when a better solution exists.
But on the other hand, if you had an interaction with the shopkeeper then wouldn't the same laws of decency prevent you from telling others about that encounter?

> Qt is not big and is well architected

I've used Qt in the past and current. Qt is big and, while it might be sufficiently architected, I wouldn't describe it as well architected. There's a lot of Qt-isms that don't follow modern C++ paradigms. The concept of shallow- and deep- copy is particularly frustrating, everything that's based in QObject can't be moved, and a lot of the objects simply _aren't_ extensible enough. Qt's QNetworkAccessManager is probably one of the least-acceptable (or extensible) network access libraries; good luck adding support for custom types of proxies or schemes.

Some of your comments make assertions with no supporting information and are subsequently dispelled. I can't tell if you're just trolling or are otherwise oblivious to your behavior.

I think this very much depends on where one wants to fly, e.g. cities or nature.

For a drone weighing 734g (Mavic Pro), under EASA rule one either

- has to fly 150m away from residential, commercial or industrial areas (subcategory A3); or

- is required to hold an A2 Certificate of Competence (which would allow flying close to uninvolved people but, at this weight, not over them).

Qualifying for an A2 Certificate of Competence is not hard (I've done it both in the EU and the UK) but it is significantly more involved than punching a few details into a Web form.
I agree on IceWM; it was not hard to make it give that feeling of, "Oh, so it's just a normal computer, then." JWM was another of the super-light window managers that could do that pretty well with the right setup.
