The paternalistic claim by regulators is that the accreditation rule protects the most economically vulnerable from fraud. Those with financial certifications and licenses, or those of greater financial means, only have human nature to blame when they make the same mistakes investing as someone without the hundreds of hours of indoctrination.

Cryptocurrency is the first modern wave of unaccredited wealth generation that is beyond regulatory control. Many people were fleeced by alt coins and get rich quick schemes. Academics have more than enough examples to draw conclusions from and use to advise policymakers, if they were so inclined to. Poor rubes didn't bet everything they had on crypto, although there undoubtedly is anecdotal evidence of some doing so. Losses were actually quite within the band of acceptance. Homes weren't lost. Family fortunes weren't wiped out.
"Only Amazon is allowed to make way more money than anyone else"
My guess:

Lots of business meetings in London -> merchants need to accept Amex company cards -> people realize acceptance is high -> people look into Amex for their personal usage, for instance to enjoy higher rewards.
Status symbol?
Have I missed anything? I don’t think the discussion is about vaccines. For what is worth, I think both the vaccines and ivermectin work. I just think multinational profit driven companies are more incentivised to promote vaccines, which generate a huge profit, over ivermectin which doesn’t make that much of a profit.
When did you receive it?
Whenever I launch a new product, I like to create simple product teasers to showcase their functionality. I've found that posting GIFs/videos of the product on social network and adding them on places like Product Hunt when launching helps the product get a lot more impressions and engagement.

So I built Animockup to simplify the process of creating such teasers - instead of having to use After Effects, you can just upload the video / image of the product you want to showcase, select a device or window mockup, and customize the teaser with images, text, gradient backgrounds, and preset animations. I think it's pretty simple to use and gets some nice results too, let me know what you think! :)
This really feels like a push for a need that doesn't exist so the first-movers on the crypto market can have a manufactured "need" for the technology they invested so much into to pay out.

Nothing I've found about Web3.0 makes sense as an organic need that arose from internet usage... It all feels extremely manufactured.
I think visa are increasing their fees from 0.3% (EU regs) to 1.5% here.
It was a fun read, but implying that a drug dealer from Kern county is related to a published researcher from Mexico just because they have the same surname is not really cool.
wow sounds like a great idea I'm surprised I never came across this before.
It's interesting how some political personalities massively outlive their actual political careers. Here in the UK Thatcher's ghost still haunts many political discussions even in the present day on both the right and left, I suspect Trump will take a similarly long time to fade away into the background noise of both his supporters and detractors.

This is one of the reasons I'm not a fan of personality politics and the increasingly presidential style of leadership in the UK. A person's ideas are what's important, and personality politics distracts people from the ideas in favour of what's effectively celebrity gossip.
Reached out to their support, and they verified the problem (it's now solved).
I agree. I bet this is like the media reach metrics of print newspaper,l where it is assumed many people will read a single printed news paper.

It's not possible to know how many people watched a single stream. Therefore, why would Netflix be inclined to imply less people watch it than did with 1 person per stream.
Buisiness use.
Just to play devils advocate, can’t they just send it to collections if they really wanted to?

I did the same thing for a gym membership (NYSC) and they threatened collections 3 months later. Fortunately, they went bankrupt.
Stupidly enough, you have to cancel SEPA direct debit mandates with a written document to the merchant.
> Bad science has a way of being negated over the longer term.

Humans started to experiment with Lobotomy around 1930s and it wasn't until after 1950s that we started to realize that it probably did more harm than good. António Egas Moniz even won a Nobel Prize for "discovery of the therapeutic value of leucotomy in certain psychoses".

Yes, bad science will probably be negated over long term, but what about the harm it does during those years? Can't we find a way to reduce the harm of experimental science? Maybe things aren't that long as my example today, but I still feel we can do more to prevent bad science in the first place.
That seems extremely odd though. You'd expect a card company to pamper one side so they can shaft the other.

If they try to shaft both sides, then they'll simply lose market share.
opponents of change have learned that, much like greenwashing or the myth of individual responsibility, they can strategically deploy purity language and the accusation of selling out to undermine resistance groups and leaders.

This seems like a cop-out. It's not the battle-flag wavers and the red hats who attack people for not being pure enough, it's us. We're our own worst problem and we sound as crazy as the false-flag-shooting claiming nutcases when we're continuously in denial about the way we treat each other when we see the slightest hint of moral failing, past or present.
> If that’s the case, it proves the free market works.

The free market has many problems. This isn't one.
In a UK context, the "better consumer protection" comes from the Consumer Credit Act 1974, not the banks goodwill.

(Although the time my debit card did get stolen somehow, my bank did refund out of goodwill presmably becuase they didn't want to lose a customer).
I, too, am curious about the negative effects of coffee (or caffeine, rather). The potential positives are well known through many studies like the OP, but it is also well known that caffeine triggers a stress response (increased adrenaline, cortisol). We know that stress, beyond a short burst, is detrimental to health.

There seems to be a wide variety in different people's caffeine sensitivity, but for me, a coffee habit leads to a downwards spiral that ends with permanent tension and migraine episodes. I have tried this cycle enough times by now to know the cause and effect. I have to wonder what other effects the continued stimulation of caffeine has.
I suppose consumer to merchant payments are optimized and men in the middle can't get much, everything goes to Visa. Card to card transactions are less optimized and issuer might get a cut.
It is being rolled out globally. Amazon instituted a very hefty fee for Visa transactions in Australia. No such fee for Amex or MasterCard payments.
Amazon's description of "The Burnout Society" says: "His work is presented here in English for the first time." Interestingly, Amazon doesn't say anything about the book being a translation, but goodreads.com names the translator.
Amazon Australia has started charging 0.5% for Visa cards. In Australia a merchant can charge more for payment by credit card but only up to the actual extra cost they incur.
Features get added. So you can't use a match statement in 3.9 but you can in 3.10. If you write a library you need to be conservative in which features you use or applications can't use you.

Why not just upgrade applications ASAP? Sometimes things are removed over three or so versions. So you can't move from e.g. 3.9 to 3.10 without making sure you're importing types from the correct location:

https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.0/whatsnew/3.9.html

> Aliases to Abstract Base Classes in the collections module, like collections.Mapping alias to collections.abc.Mapping, are kept for one last release for backward compatibility. They will be removed from Python 3.10.

These things are planned. It's just much much harder to handle this because you need the interpreter at runtime while in compiled languages you just use `-std=C99` and you can compile the code and then link.
Top serverless computing and database providers
There are third party services that handle cancellation (e.g. Aboalarm) that are more reliable, and don't require any more time. I honestly just have an online fax account where I can upload a PDF to send a fax for like 20 cents, and that almost always works. It's still a dark pattern though.
I think this boils down to journalists trying to bait outrage by implying that scientific definitions should dictate cultural ones (tomato may be a fruit biologically speaking but if you put it in a fruit salad nobody will like you).

Pluto is a "planet" in the same way the sun is "not a star". If you tell someone to draw some stars you'll be confused if they just draw a few massive orbs of fire rather than some bright dots.

Before publishers discovered outrage bait as a way to sell ads, "actually Pluto is a dwarf planet not a planet" would have been an irrelevant nerdy factoid but now it's presented as a cultural issue everyone needs to have an opinion on.

So I propose just giving scientists migraines instead and discussing whether the sun and moon should be considered planets or stars.
I want to know who's behind those sites, the fact that nobody knows who's behind them is shady. Or is having sites pushing meta-studies about anything normal and I just missed it?
Not sure about the UK but here in France Amazon has just started promoting a co-branded Amazon Amex card.
I would suppose you'd have to actually have a choice in the matter. If you have to spend 30+ minutes to unsubscribe, surely it's not the only law that applies.
Thanks, and interesting. I had never heard of it before. I'm not really into video, but have used ffmpeg and icecast for that sort of thing, which worked but were very crude compared to what I see on youtube and the like.
Not hefty but an annoying 0.5%. In Australia they can't surcharge more than the actual cost involved in processing the card payment.
But that is the whole point of a 'hollywood type' movie. It's pure escapism for 90+ minutes, even if you can guess early on how it's going to play out.

For people who don't like these type of movies, there are plenty of other 'films' (not movies) out there, that cater for the times when something popcorny isn't what you want.

With Red Notice, it's clear from the stills/trailer that it's a simple actioner, you are going to know if that's your thing even before you press play.
You really have a reading comprehension issue.

61 percent could have gone either up or down, and 42% said they gained more weight than they intended, of those that gained some gained more than 10 kg, and a smaller fraction gained more than 50 pounds.

So, what does this say:

(1) that people should adapt their eating habits to their needs

(2) that it is possible to lose weight and to gain weight unintended (which is something that isn't really news, see also: weight watchers and the whole weight loss industry)

(3) that the study did not correct for what would have been the result of the poll had COVID not happen

(4) that the word 'lockdown' that you ascribe to the cause does not appear in the article text, but the word 'stress' does

and finally

(5) that you link to this article because you think it supports your statement above when in fact that really isn't the case.
Can't speak for all of Europe, but my bank in the Netherlands (Rabobank) certainly does offer chargeback options on debit card purchases.

The funny thing is that the benchmarks that he wrote are more problematic than the T-WAND code itself.

He didn't use any benchmarking library, and he used System.currentTimeMillis instead of the high precision timer available with System.nanoTime.

He also instantiated the IndexSearcher without specifying any executor and he instantiated the legacy query parser on every lucene search
HSBC credit cards were visa. I assume they'll change as first direct has.

Unfortunately I don't think that's true. I'm looking at you, beer52.com! [1]

Yeah, I'm from catalonia and I'm ambivalent about this kind of usage. On the one hand, you have some meme sites that are cool, but are often just "exploiting" the tld to make for a nicer url. Aesthetics. As a hacker, it doesn't seem a problem at all... but then you have to consider the cultural issues too: catalonia is not that big, with 7.5M population. Should we consider the "inappropriate" use of .cat domains as a form of cultural appropriation? Might seem a bit exaggerated, but it's not a ridiculous question to ask oneself.

That being said, fundació.cat is allowing the sites to exist and doesn't seem to care that much either about what's going on in their domains (I sent them an email once asking for a list of all / the_most_popular .cat sites to find sites in catalonia worth promoting, and they don't even have that kind of information available), so if they don't care themselves, what can lowly citizens even ask for.
> static analysis tools exist to scan your 10000 dependencies

Maybe this is a dumb question but could you please suggest some of these tools that can scan dependencies?
Hopefully this will increase competition in the space.

Perhaps "small claims court" would fit the bill. Maybe there are lawyers specialized in that.

It is really not the same thing: they lent you equipment. That «no cost» is not really such, but if it were, you cannot demand further "favours" on the basis of former or other favours. (Or, they could go along the lines of that "fake" «no cost» and charge you for both equipment deployment and full equipment costs incorporating them in the general fees, increasing them.)
I assume netflix put it top of the list for everyone in their suggestions, I've never heard of it except for in 1 place, a thread where people with netflix say what film they just watched, in which it's very popular.

They have the data, they know who's popular, what genre is popular (brain dead action comedies), they specifically designed a film to appeal to the most netflix subscribers, and could easily get 1/3rd of their subscribers to watch it.
I am a doc. I am also a medical researcher, but you (and most other people here) _have_ to realize that the vast majority of practicing MDs are _not_ scientists, and understand almost nothing when reading medical studies. And that's fine, because it's not their job. The profession is bound by guidelines and expert opinion. Experts do research, formulate guidelines, and guidelines get applied by practitioners. And no, that absolutely does not mean you know better than the average doc because you've read 10 studies. That's telling a highly specialized labourer that you know the job better because you've read 0.0001% of the theory.

I don’t understand what line of thinking leads to such a ludicrous claim. It’s not just this article, there is a push for “vanila js” and “use the platform” in the community.

I’d like to point out that frameworks exist in languages more mature and complex than ES6. So I don’t know what it is that javascript people think only they can see and everyone else doesn’t, after only 5 years or so of having a barely usable programming language.

In The Netherlands there are companies that will fill in, print, and send cancellation letters for you as a service. They rank very high in Google search.
> leftist Catholic

It’s really hard to be a Catholic, or a Christian, and not lean left. I do not mean the authoritarian regimes that outlawed religion, but at the core of Christian faith lies the notion of equality, forgiveness and understanding the other, as well as loving everyone, even those who do not reciprocate.

I say this as an Atheist, that these ideas are pretty clever for a guy who lived 20 centuries ago.
I also suggest you to look at his "benchmarks" code
> Even with EVIL mode it didn't feel just as smooth.

I’m surprised to hear this. I’d personally assess Evil highly — in some areas, it’s even better than Vim. What problem(s) did you have with it?
If you can improve on the scientific method I'm sure lots of people would be very happy but for now it is the best we've got, the results speak for themselves.

Science makes mistakes, all the time. But it does learn from those mistakes. The harm done during the intervening years is terrible, but likely a price we can not avoid.

A bigger problem in my opinion is the degree to which science allows itself to be 'bought' by commerce, for instance in the case of smoking, climate change denial and other major issues that end up harming lots of people in very concrete ways. The man or woman in the white coat has a lot of authority and squandering that by throwing the scientific method out of the window to be replaced by a stack of green bills is a real problem.
Studies have been done. It has been found lacking. You're getting mocked because you're blind to this and sticking to something that bad actors are touting as a miracle cure, while science and medicine move on in the search for things that actually help.

Like dexamethasone, remdesivir etc etc
Look at it from the flip-side. You, a classic theatre orientated studio, are looking for a distributer for your new film called 'Big Bangs & Car Chases', now you know that Netflix is a viable place to put your expensive film, if you don't want to go the theatre-first route.

Of course this all hinges on Netflix paying enough money for the rights that the lost cost of traditionally sold movie tickets is covered.
> I’ve also seen plenty of new editors rise and fall in the past 20 years - Komodo, TextMate, Sublime Text, Atom, etc. Emacs and vim are the only editors that stood the test of time

This is the main reason I keep using Emacs for my everyday use. I never thought it was simply the best editor you could imagine. But it’s an editor I could always rely on.

There have been so many editors and IDEs in the past with their shiny features, great UIs and everybody screaming of excitement — until they were replaced by the next new shiny editor after a couple of years.

VSCode is surely a nice editor. (Although I don’t think its pixel dust UI is particularly great. And don’t get me started on its memory consumption.) Microsoft’s LSP, however, is a great idea. Emacs absorbed this feature already and will make it available even long after everybody stopped using VSCode within a couple of years.

Editors fall out of fashion. People die. Emacs remains Emacs.
Visa debit also has transaction fees, often fixed to the same as credit for small vendors. Avoiding credit cards does not fix that.
Here's why: two debit cards, one for receiving money, one for spending money. Automated payment from the 1st one to the 2nd one once a month with a fixed amount you expect to spend in a month.

Nothing to pay off, you're spending your own money, can't be overcharged, can't go below zero, if someone leaks your spending card they can't touch the majority of your money, no scummy business practices.

Never owned a credit card, don't have the slightest wish to do so.
"Ermüdungsgesellschaft" is indeed the original title, it was written in German and published in 2010. The translated English version came out in 2015.
There isn’t one in particular I can recommend (or remember). Just look up how to install packages, look at other people’s configs, explore what packages are available, and so on. That’s basically what I did.
IIRC it's a law that is just a few months old.
> Why we have stopped making cool protocols like this?

Why aren't you doing it?

Same reason
> You’d build easy sign up before you built easy canceling. Even if you were the least nefarious business owner in the history of the world, the ctime on your signup page would be older than that of the cancel page. Whether it would be 15 minutes, days, or months later is a question, but I doubt anyone has coded their cancel page first.

I think many startups undervalue the value proposition of "It's easy to change away from us" or "It's easy to cancel if you're not happy".

I can't even count the number of times I've heard from users signing up to services I've built that one of the top reasons they signed up in the first place, was because it was easy to migrate away if they ever needed to. Preventing vendor lock-in has always been high up on my list of features for every service I build/am involved in.
The alternative to gory violence is not cartoon violence. There's no problem with some shows being gory violent. The parent comment lamented that it seems to be a norm now. Films can tackle the consequence of violence, without explicitly showing it happen, and especially without zooming in it happening.
I was thinking that, more than a bunch of convenient abstractions, a framework also provides a convention that developers are familiar with (easier to get into the codebase). I feel like I know how NextJS projects will be structured.

I'm just a beginner developer, and I would actually prefer vanilla ES6, but I can picture wildly different ways of doing things with ES6 between each company. So then each company has their own abstractions, libraries and conventions (aka a framework, but localized). Then I imagine documentation about the structure, to get new devs up to speed.

When the girlfriend had to switch to Angular from React at her junior position, it took her a while to get comfortable with the codebase. Not sure how much that matters amongst experienced developers.
> who would have very little to lose from criticising the rollout

I beg to differ, here is an example: Luc Montagnier, a Nobel prize recipient, has been completely marginalized after emitting doubts about vaccine safety and is now absolutely inaudible in anything mainstream.

It's just an example, there are several more. Anybody that saw how he was treated probably though really hard before emitting any dissenting opinion in public.

It feels like the Inquisition.
Great to see more of these ventures pushing a strong open source culture. Hope others will follow suit.
I guess the kickback on the credit card fees is too good to pass up for Natwest.
