Aluminum foil actually works as an antenna to direct more of the bad stuff to it rather than away from it. A study done on the effectiveness of tin foil hats shows it brings more bad waves toward a person rather than shielding or blocking them.

Huge magnetic storms or even warfare weaponry like dew etc will not be phased by aluminum foil.

Pretty good now; the legislation mandates multi-factor authentication by the issuing bank. So customer has to prove presence directly with their bank to authorise the payment.

There is also dynamic linking (ie you are shown the amount but also a unique code that the payment requestor also showed you) so you are confident it is the same transaction.
That seems way too new currently. Also iOS isn't supported yet?

I've plagarized Alice Miller here before, here are her thoughts on the subject of psychological surveys on the subject of childhood trauma in the book For Your Own Good:

Those who swear by statistical studies and gain their psychological knowledge from those sources will see my efforts to understand the children Christiane and Adolf [Hitler] as unnecessary and irrelevant. They would have to be given statistical proof that a given number of cases of child abuse later produced almost the same number of murderers. This proof cannot be provided, however, for the following reasons. Alice Miller lists off 1) child abuse takes place in secret 2) testimony of victims on their own suffered child abuse is often very flawed to protect their parents 3) experts in criminology have already noted this trend in their scientific research

Even if statistical data confirm my own conclusions, I do not consider them a reliable source because they are often based on uncritical assumptions and ideas that are either meaningless (such as "a sheltered childhood"), vague, ambiguous ("received a lot of love"), or deceptive ("the father was strict but fair"), or that even contain obvious contradictions ("he was loved and spoiled"). This is why I do not care to rely on conceptual systems whose gaps are so large that the truth escapes through them, but rather prefer to make the attempt ... to take a different route. I am not searching for statistical objectivity but for the subjectivity of the victim in question, to the degree that my empathy permits.

Isn’t the explanation incomplete? It explains why someone couldn’t come, but it doesn’t explain why Kim in particular couldn’t come. Therefore, Kim must contend both with the outcome (that she couldn’t come), and with the fact that the selection process was hidden from her. The concealment creates the bias towards negativity imo, in the absence of other information.

Worth mentioning Brazil has new transfer method called Pix that takes mostly 10 seconds to exchange money to another bank account and you only need the other person/company ID or email or phone number or a random key (the account owner choose which ones they want to allow). It came just a few years ago but basically everyone has it now since it's a payment method directly coming from the Central Bank and all banks implemented it by now. It's pretty easy to generate a QR code and bill someone but you can also set it up on your website in a way that you can check when it's paid programatically. Worth mentioning: it's free of costs except if you're a company that want to use the REST API. By the way, they even use GitHub to discuss things and document their API, really nice

if someone does the right thing, it usually doesn't matter whether or not they're done for the right reasons

Totally agree.

Unfortunately the reverse is also true: if someone does the wrong thing it usually doesn't matter wether or not they're done for the right reasons (or wrong reasons?) but it also happens all the time.

Sometimes it's very difficult to know if a reason is good, wrong or evil. Driving children to school? Not sure about the USA, but when I used to drive in Madrid, school holidays were patently obvious.
> Docker. People like to hate a winner, and they've gone the paid route, and they did just take already-available kernel features and wrap them up... But man, they did it well and they revolutionised software development and deployment.

They made design decisions that prevent simple things like "installing a .deb package from the host filesystem without keeping the package in an image layer", then fixed some of these with that weird buildkit thing that you need to enable in the settings.

It's very useful for sure, but I wouldn't call its CLI interface well-design.

> the less a person has, the more motivated and productive they are

Absolutely not. I'm saying that high tax rates and high levels of direct government benefits from those taxes stifles innovation by reducing the incentives to be innovative.

Does it make for an "equal society." Sure. But that also means that you don't reward people with innovative ideas or who go way above and beyond. Sure they could work their ass off to make their idea a reality....or they could just not. It's not like they'll get massively rewarded for it. Plus the government probably gives them what they need already.

Yes there is a sweet spot and infrastructure is important. If the government doesn't do anything people die on the streets which is A. Inhuman B. Makes people more concerned about not dying over anything else. I also think promoting good education is really important so you give people a path from nothing to something. Who cares if you make it rewarding to succeed if it's absolutely impossible from birth for some people.

I can only say the US is the closest sweet spot just by the results. It's absolutely not perfect, but the US is specifically known for its Innovation and productivity.

We’ve moved away from language-integrated orchestration entirely at my work: we use Argo Workflows on Kubernetes, so we’re just orchestrating containers and aren’t beholden to language-specific requirements anymore so you can use whatever language/tool you want provided it packs into a container and accepts/returns what the rest of the workflow expects.

> I expect we’ll see bank transfers as a more prominent part of the payment mix in much of the world.

Interesting read.

I have multiple clients in Europe who use my webshop system with simple bank transfers as the only payment method. It's so easy. No setting up shit like iDeal or Stripe or anything like that, no fees, just paying from one bank to the other. It comes so close to paying with cash. It's not instant so you can't really program against it (as with iDeal here in The Netherlands, your country has probably something similar), so it's not really suitable for big automated webshops. But for small businesses and/or freelancers who want to make money online it's such a game changer.

Let's say you just started a small business selling digital or physical goods, the only thing you need to do is enter your IBAN bank account number and you can get paid within a workday or two. Customers place an order, click a button that says 'I just paid', you as the business owner check your bank account on a daily basis (just from your smartphone) to see if you received their money, if you receive their money you click another button and can fullfill the order.

From experience I know I'll receive money from Germany within one business day, and from the rest of EU within two business days. It depends on the banks I guess, because sometimes even customers from EU with IBAN bank accounts tell me they can't make the payment. Still, it's so easy.

Even for filing your VAT as a business it's stupidly easy in EU, because whatever you sell to Spain or Poland or Ireland, if you stay under a certain threshold (which is pretty high for a one person company) you can just do the taxes in your own country according to the rules you know.

I just really miss the UK, stupid Brexit. I have to quadruple the amount of paperwork if I want to sell to the UK. It's not worth the hassle. Just not worth it.

My Withings Steel HR. It is just enough smart watch for me. Fitness tracking is good, sleep tracking is okay, app works better than the FitBit app, and has better Apple Health integration. Battery lasts weeks. And I think it looks pretty nice. I think it fits into the category of “calm technology”, which is tough to do for a device that has notifications as part of the core functionality.
Same here, I bought 4 more when they discontinued it, gave away a couple and the rest died by now. Why can't a company make something like this again?
It looks dead. I think they chose the wrong approach in lots of ways, but it wasn't that far from a JS (and Typescript) based OS on top of Linux that is actually a good idea.

ChromeOS is kind of close to what I'd want, if you could remove Google from it. (I actually like ChromeOS, nearly perfect for my kid's computer)

Firefox OS was also kind of close, but they missed in a lot of ways.

Here are the features of some OS I wish existed:

Open source and not primarily controlled by Apple or Google or Microsoft of Facebook or whatever.

JS and Typescript are essentially native and are the primary ways of building apps, but WASM would be available if you need machine code.

The same JS engine runs in the browser as for running applications. The same rendering engine works inside the browser and to render "native" apps that do any drawing to the screen. Preferably, you could choose to run on one of several browser engines

Most apps that run as native apps can, without much extra work, run as web apps, and vice versa.

The UI isn't built on a framework that might fall in popularity. So not React or Angular or Vue or whatever. If people want to use those in their apps, they are there, but core stuff for the UI avoids relying on them.

That's all I can think of for now. Beyond "design it really, really well and make a slick feeling but non-limiting front end experience." Which is hard.

(sorry to those with unbridled hate for JS and even Typescript)

In South Africa you can send money to anyone's phone number from several of the big banks. They can even be 'unbanked'. Regulation allows them to receive up to a certain amount before having to KYC and go through AML checks etc.

To access their money they go to an ATM and a challenge response is sent to their phone number.
Apple seem to just be throwing money at anything now to fill their catalog. The production quality of their shows is high but the shows themselves are poorly written trash. I've watched a handful of their originals and so far the only one I can recommend is Dr. Brain. It's a Korean sci-fi drama, which is the only reason I imagine it was immune to the diversity at all costs mandate.
I'd be curious to learn what kinds of safeguards various package managers of Linux distros have employed against supply chain attacks on individual maintainers who might try to poison certain popular packages if compromised?

Specifically, I'd imagine NPM might actually be a bit better than many distro's package repos due to the post left-pad era changes they put in place to make packages more... immutable and tamper-resistant, so the only way for a new malicious package to reach users is for those users to actually explicitly update to the new malicious versions. But being not even remotely familiar with how Linux package repos are updated/maintained, I'm probably missing a lot of nuance.

I believe UPI of India and Pix of Brazil actually cross absorb features from each other which is nice to see.

UPI is getting from 1st December a way to send payments by phone number or random number(key) which I believe are partly inspired from Pix. Earlier phone number lookup was a layer on top of the UPI built by the fintech companies and now it will be part of the base system.

Now that UPI's operator NPCI is focusing on cross border transactions, some day Pix and UPI can interoperate. UPI is already integrated with Singapore's payment system and similarly in discussions with few other countries.

Solaris used to come with a user manual, it was easily the best thing about the buying experience because it was so detailed and obviously written for engineers.

If you can find one of those manuals on the internet you will be set for life on understanding ZFS and dtrace.

There’s also a C, C++ and ASM manual that is bundled too, but you can skip those.

If you can’t find any, I’ll send you mine.

I know it sounds like I’m asking you to RTFM- but the experience of reading these manuals is really a joy.
I'm not completely sure that you aren't joking. Maybe for a mathematician the latter would be "very readable"?

> How does your model take into account orders where order lines do not map to an invoice, or which has invoices which no order lines references?

If I understand you right, the latter seems easy: the list of orderItems would just be empty.

If there can be orderItems without invoice (why would that happen?) then I'd just add another field "plainOrderItems: List[OrderItem]" next to the bundles.

The rest of the code would not change.

That being said, there can surely be situations where modeling the data is not trivial. It's always exciting to model it in the best way to describe the problem at hand. And with this approach, sometimes you need to model different "views" to make combining things work.

This feature RIGHT HERE is probably what lends to McMaster’s retention. No futzing around with account numbers, customer IDs, etc. Nope. Just a real accounting department talking to your company’s accounting department. Onboarding 20 new engineers today? No problem, just tell them to make an account with the company email and fill out the billing info with accounts payable and the finance guys will take care of all the rest.

McMaster honestly is such a gem of a company. Quadruply so if you so happen to live within the same-day delivery distance of one of their regional centers. Then McMaster turns into a super power.

Only downside is that McMaster fails some more rigorous sniff tests on part traceability/quality/reliability for certain kinds of engineering orgs but honestly so much manufacturing is held together by the glue of McMaster.

And if in the odd case they ever fail to deliver, there’s always Grainger!
But that's apples and oranges... With AWS you get VPCs, Security Groups, NACLs, flow logs, DDoS protection (limited), public IPv4s, custom hardware to make sure you can actually use the 10/40/100Gbps pipe on your server, etc. etc. for "free" ( you only pay for those via bandwidth). The best most bare metal providers have is a firewall(security groups), and that's it.
This is cool, but unfortunately the best content is on private trackers (you also need them to reduce the risk of abuse reports to your provider).

Not sure if the need to use private trackers can be fixed by the protocol, though. But, maybe adding a bit more of anonymity would be enough? i2p torrents provide that, but sacrifice speed. Clearly it's a spectrum and we need more "points" in the middle of it.

As an iOS developer, this is very true indeed. Apple specifically bars developers from using push notifications for ad purposes yet Apple itself does it to push their own Apple Music ads as the article shows.

I also got myself an Android phone and a windows Dell laptop recently which I will be putting linux on for non-work purposes.

“It depends”, it’s not high latency enough to notice on calls, music is obviously fine- but it’s not going to be able to keep up with a graded DAC+Mic in a professional setting (like a recording studio).

I haven’t tried it for video editing, though I suspect it might cause your scrobbing to stutter because macos will “pause” media playback until the headphones have been instructed to play, so you don’t have desync issues.

But that’s not what it competes against.

There’s no noticeable latency when using the phone/iPad, Mac as a normal consumer, calls, music, video conferencing.
