How dense are you towards human suffering? Just because you're rich do you think everyone in India works in IT & earns Lakhs per month?

My parents, as kids were dirt poor family. My grandmother had to go hungry multiple times a week so that my father would get enough to eat. She wasn't "dieting", she didn't have enough money to buy enough food. That's what poverty is like.

Have you ever faced that in your life? You think the really poor people who don't know from where the next meal is coming from have 99rs to keep a number active?

But thank God you have to spend a little less out of the Lakhs you earn in a month on data packs, the data which you use to lecture people whose previous generations have been dirt poor about how 99rs per month isn't that costly. Geez.

This is like the Indian version of "if they're too poor for bread let them eat cake"

Reduce, not eliminate. Maybe, maybe it would stop having additional negative over regular money transfers but "completely eliminate" requires magic (negating effects with credible offsets is viable).

Came across this when I was visiting Norway. Agreed, a very easy to use device.
It's well designed and convenient but I threw mine in the trash last week. Putting hot liquids in plastics is a bad idea for reproductive health.
Hydro Flask pint glasses (sadly, now discontinued). The big win is that the insulation prevents condensation, which is a real annoyance in warm weather. The textured coating has a really nice feel to it, and I love the colors. Added bonus: they don't break when you drop them. They're twenty times the price of actual glass dollar store pint glasses, but worth it. Mine make me happy every time I use them. Sadly, they're now discontinued, but a couple of places have some (dwindling) stock. (Hydro Flask also makes a 16oz Tumbler, which I don't like as much.)
This is why I always pre-download pr0n well-ahead of jack0ff time.

From my own (anecdotal) experience, stress most definitely plays out in physical ways in your body. Throughout the day or night, you can be tightening muscles without knowing it. They can eventually fatigue and set off a chain of other muscles compensating for it, etc. They can even cramp up in ways that they push on nerves, resulting in nerve-pain symptoms. It's all fairly logical, but for some reason there's this preconception that there is absolutely no linkage between our bodies and minds, which makes people look everywhere else first. The worst cases tend to be cyclical, where your worsening symptoms add to your stress, which leads to more symptoms, etc.

The caveat is that sometimes, it's not just stress. You shouldn't neglect your symptoms, if they persist.
Does anybody know of a way to make recurring SEPA (push) payments?

My bank requires manual interaction, so I have been looking for a card-to-SEPA gateway - without succes.

Reason: Binance offers recurring DCA but with hefty fee for Visa/Mastercard. Binance partnership with AdvCash makes SEPA "zero"-fee possible. AdvCash accepts SEPA, but my bank cannot make recurring SEPA payments.
One of the useful applications is D3O (brand name) which is a non-newtonian fluid that is soft/rubber like until it takes an impact and then solidifies pretty much instantly - it's used in higher end motorcycle gear.

Celsius CFO Arrested on Charges Tied to Former Job at Moshe Hogeg’s Firm
In many parts of the world, totalitarianism remains a danger, not from the state but from corporations that control data, knowledge and information. There is no escape. They know everything about you. You can hardly engage in a transaction – political, financial, cultural or social – without them. It’s less that the social fabric has grown frayed, its edges unravelling, than that the so-called social fabric is now manufactured, for profit, by monopolistic businesses, a cheap, throwaway fake.

Before the pandemic, there was a real world, and this fake one, real friendships and “friends”, political communities and “followers”, genuine political expression and “likes”. The risk, when interactions with other human beings are narrowed to these remote, glancing and often combative exchanges – simulations – is that, once the lockdowns are over, people will bring the culture of the virtual into the real, creating even angrier, more impatient, more superficial, more transactional, more commercial and less democratic societies.

Forging stronger bonds in a post-pandemic world, if one ever comes, will require acts of moral imagination that are not part of any political ideology or corporate mission statement, but are, instead, functions of the human condition: tenderness, compassion, longing, generosity, allegiance and affection. These, too, are the only real answers to loneliness, alienation, dislocation and disintegration.
Well, one reason dark matter is winning over modified gravity theories is that there seem to be some galaxies that don't have dark matter. So MOND needs more special pleading there, unless the observations are wrong.
Scanning a QR code to make a payment in China is also very interesting.
Indeed - I really don't understand their motivations. With a 4k$ product I really don't see them selling it at a loss, so they get paid either way and it should make no difference whether people are using third-party apps on it. If anything, it seems to be beneficial as according to the article people are apparently interested for this very functionality despite the price tag.

Unless of course the objective is not to make money selling a premium treadmill but to hit "engagement" targets to justify the next promotion or round of VC funding.
Not sure you understood already, but I think the GP means actually at no cost.
>Direct debit is for utilities, and that's about it.

I think the only party that can draw money directly from my bank account is my bank itself for my mortgage. For everything else, I have e-invoices, where the invoice comes directly to my bank account, so I receive a paper invoice maybe once a year from somewhere. And for e-invoices I can just set auto-accept limits, so any phone bill that is less than 10€ will get automatically accepted and for any phone bills greater than 10€, I need to manually accept it on my bank's website/app.

Actually, I have SEPA Direct Debit disabled on my bank account settings now that I checked it, so I guess I've never used it. I guess my bank just has direct access anyways for mortgage payments.

Classic tragedy of the commons example.
After the origin of the Big Bang, I find the lack of any evidence for other civilizations to be the most mysterious part of our reality.

Technological civilizations should expand exponentially and be nearly impossible to eradicate once interstellar travel, however slow, has been achieved.

So I find explanations using concepts like "average civilization lifetimes" to either be nonsensical, or implicitly assume no extra-solar colonization.

Perhaps civilizations destroy themselves from within their own solar system with near complete reliability. That seems to be the only explanation that fits the facts, as far as I can tell.

The exception being the fancier explanation that civilizations don't bother leaving their solar systems, as they quickly move on to other dimensions more rewarding than expanding visibly in this universe.

> I make payments to the benelux, france, germany, spain and poland, and they go all over the push mechanism. Direct debit is for utilities, and that's about it.

SEPA direct debit is a really really popular thing in Germany. Most utilities prefer (quite understandably) to pull from you instead of waiting for your transfer. Even landlords usually give you an agreement form to pull your rent out of your account.

I got used to that and recently tried to use a Polish bank account to pay on Amazon and surprisingly it didn't work. Amazon has sent me an automated email with a demand for a (push) transfer, sadly with added fee for the trouble.

Most people in Poland actually do transfers manually, direct debit is not really a thing. On the other hand there's this BLIK thing for instant transfers, even across banks.

That's not what teaching is. What you're thinking of is called selling.
They go on to say “ The point is that I would agree that it's a good idea to disable UPnP, but not because of what UPnP does, and not just on your router. Instead, it's a good idea to be very skeptical of UPnP because of defective implementations in many embedded devices, especially routers, but also all of your IoT nonsense.”
Also for search and arrest, mobile surveillance and drones in every damn corner of our cities once these get mass produced. They don't need to be flown by a pilot, there are already companies that work on autonomous drone software. And then the data can be analyzed in an automated manner as well.

Think about the possibilities: No more searching for fugitives for months, the drones simply go around our cities and check every single person. 5G, wifi signals, infrared cameras and other sensors give them the coordinates of all humans. The state will be all-pervasive. Laws and standards are for this are already created as we speak.
The basic AirPods are the lowest latency Bluetooth headphones I have tried. In A2DP mode the latency is somewhere around 30ms that is almost good enough for playing an instrument through them but certainly good enough for games or phone calls. The theoretical minimum for AAC is around 21ms. For calls the problem is that somehow Apple didn't invent a proprietary extension so you're stuck with HFP sound quality.

They're a $100 pair of headphones. By the time you break the cable you can ask yourself: "Do I get a higher end pair of monitors like an Audio Technica set? Do I just slap down another benny for a second pair?"

That's literally the cost-to-good ratio you're looking at: They're so good that a super common mod I've seen is to replace the cable with a [$4 mini-xlr connector](https://www.redco.com/Redco-TB3M.html) once you kill the cable, which will be about 10 years from when you buy it. They're so good for the cost that you can easily justify slapping down $100 for a new pair delivered next day from Amazon. They're cheap enough that these things are what I've seen medium-end museums put in for a good, durable headphone to play media with. Looking to mix a few tracks on the cheap? Absolutely tolerable to mix against. Need headphones for the sound guys at that event? Got you. Need cans for the DJ whose ATH-m50s got dunked on? Keep a few pairs of these and nobody will complain in a pinch. Need something that has the range for field recordings from birds to heartbeats? MDR-7506 will do you just fine.

They're also everywhere. I once saw a bucket full of them on a movie set. I've seen stacks of them in college sound rooms. Sound folk on a TV station set? Right there. Radio engineer? Yup. Talk show host? Probably.

They're not the best headphones in the world. There are people who will fight to the death over which Grados with which DAC and amp and what not will give you the best sound. But even they will concede that "I need decent headphones for under a c-note that will last me" can easily be filled by the MDR-7506.

Interesting that there is a new entrant in this market, there was already https://www.flyability.com/ for indoor inspection.

A lot of other comment seems to be mentionning that it's a niche, but I think it might be the biggest market after all. The retail market for drone is already saturated and the competition is mainly on prices. In that case, firefighter equipment, the market is global, huge (every small town has firefighters) and firefighters are much more deep pocketeted than end user, are ready to pay much more for high quality equipments.

Now the challenge is to convince every firefighters that they need one.
That quote is spot on. My university is currently experimenting with a course called "programming paradigms" which focuses on functional and logic programming and comparing them to mainstream paradigms (procedural, object-oriented). I think it's a great idea to have such a course on first year.

Not sure what rubbish he is talking about.

No doubt some money transfer need a caution media like property sale and Bitcoin etc. Most just a matter of efficiency. We can use cheque in one stage. But move to credit card. Then for quit awhile nos many places use debt card. And many places has its location specific stored value card Oyster card, octopus card, ..

Credit card elimination is a possibility in fact. Hence these days even credit card for low value transaction so to involved.

Elimination of middle man and use it in an appropriate manner by finding suitable way is always. From shell to …

Linux was popular because was fast on x86 hardware. And unlike BSD, all programs which came with the distribution worked. With ports you could get into a situation where one program would not compile or when it needed another library that the one installed which broke things. Also BSD wars turned a lot of developers away from BSD.
Fully agree. In Germany we have a widely used push mechanism (giropay) where you approve the online payment using an app or a dedicated hardware device. It's instant, free for buyer and seller, push, and requires explicit consent for each transfer from the buyer.

It's supported by all major electronics stores. The only exception is Amazon who will do a SEPA pull instead. But there the bank grants you 6 weeks to cancel the deduction if you want to.

All sorts of data corruption possibilities.

Even after UNIX finally added support for file locking, its use relies on all processes making use of the API, if they don't care, they get to access the file anyway.

What angers UNIX users about file locking on Windows, is actually how proper file locking is done outside of UNIX, Windows is not alone in that regard.
Interestingly, some of the in-person debit card payments I make from my German bank appear to work internally as direct debits. They appear as "SEPA-ELV-LASTSCHRIFT" on statement. Other card payments are just called "KARTENZAHLUNG". Interestingly, the Lastschrift (direct debit) payments seem reversible on my bank interface, so I could get the money back (presumably invoking letters from the company and debt collectors).

It seems to me (granted I haven't gotten it to work reliably at all yet) that the REPL is somewhat fragile, and I wonder if it might be easier as well as smaller to use a remote (tethered) compiler, as some Forth systems do.

Re the repl, I may have figured out what went wrong with user-defined functions. Instead of saying (define (sq x) (* x x)) I apparently have to say (define sq (lambda (x) (* x x))). Maybe that is documented in the paper, which I still have to read.

> But the trick is, whatever you believe will in the long run become a self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, if hypothetical Kim believes it was an accident, she might continue to treat her friends the same and so have a better chance of maintaining/improving the relationship.

I wouldn't agree here. It's just as likely that Kim should interpret this as a signal that the relationship is colder than she may have believed, and should act appropriately. Believing you are close friends with someone who doesn't see you that way will just as often cause the relationship to deteriorate as to improve.
