> On the other hand printers are working on your smartphones but not on your Linux desktop. Ever thought why that is?

That's not the case though. The only issues I've had were: 1. missing drivers (a universal issue), 2. changed IP after initial config (because the configurator save the IP and not hostname - I've seen this happen on Windows too, 3. incomplete drivers (because the printer doesn't fully adhere to the standards and vendor drivers aren't complete/available)

So what do printers have to do with any of this?
I remember early articles about how long virus stay on different surfaces. 30 days on metal, 20 days on plastic, 10 days on wood, etc. Also governments tried to convince as that we should wear masks alone in woods or cannot go out in night. Same governments told us that vaccination end spreading virus. It was all lies but still most people believe those lies because propaganda of fear is strong. Today... We still don't know origin of virus. Seriously, this is total resignation on common sense, science, logic, rationalism, etc. It is all about emotions and feelings.
The comments about Apple Music's UI aren't wrong... but the experience is a lot less shitty than spotify.

At least AM seems to somewhat respect the idea of listening to albums. Spotify instead buries an artist's albums eight clicks deep into it's UI, nudging you towards their asinine payola-as-a-service playlists (or worse, podcasts I don't care about)
You defended me? I thought you stand for the HN rule and its culture of open and reasonable discussion.

If you do think you defend me, then you should see that I am still in a situation where I am becoming more and more attacked based on narrow view on China-related topics, especially politicizing everything to the degree that alternative and reasonable discussions are plainly impossible.

If you do still have faith in HN's value, then you should not defend me, you should defend the value.

And if you think I am not embodying HN's value, then do whatever you think it's reasonable. I don't care much about personal "support", I have long forsake those narrow views.

Australia's New Payment Platform performs bank transfers instantly, and can use email address, phone number, or business ID as a destination (the recipient must first have registered this with their bank). No fees. It's pretty decent. https://www.rba.gov.au/payments-and-infrastructure/new-payme...
Anecdotal but anything + spotify is very glitchy. The Car audio system, bluetooth speakers / headphones etc., where other apps seem to work just fine.

How does it work without free drivers? Will it run on all future kernels?

Let the radius of the earth be R. Say you want to send a message from the north pole to the south pole.

If you use radio waves that travel around the earth, the shortest distance they can travel is πR ≈ 20,000km.

If you use neutrinos that travel through the earth, the shortest distance is 2R ≈ 12,700km.

So the advantage is about 7,300km (or in time units, 25ms ≈ 7,300km / (the speed of light))

You have to demand it. (Some of them will propose their solution.)

Very few people have read the PSD2 directive. (This friend of mine met a bank consultant who mixed it with a gaming console.)
If you like pull transfers, try the Netherlands. I was surprised at the low number of businesses offering it in France. In the NL, with nearly every recurring payment, including government, they are almost always the only way to pay: setting them up with an accord to direct debit your account.
I would love to see direct transfers replace payments via credit cards, which provide very little utility to customers in the end. I would also like to see this serve as an alternative to PayPal or Stripe or other such intermediaries. All these companies simply create unnecessary centralization points. And that also means they come with a central authority. And what do these authorities like to do? They like to build up market power, shelter themselves from competition, seek rent, and impose their political/moral will on their customers and on businesses. We saw it with porn. We saw it with Wikileaks. We seek it regularly now in the age of deplatforming. It’s time to move past them, and crypto does not have to be the only answer.
yes, despite peoples complaints that it’s not mobile-first and pretty, it feels extremely futuristic to find a part number, download an stl, and 3D print to check for fit. never had a problem with ordering from them.

I went to a high school in the UK that had been built on an ex landfill site. I was only there for just over a year, but the methane alarm went off a few times then, resulting in evacuations.

The school was relatively new, having allegedly been built around 2003 because Asda (then owned by Walmart) wanted to move a supermarket from one side of the road to the other.

According to folklore the developers paid for the design from US architects who specialise in prison architecture – which was believable because it looked and felt much like a small prison.
SEPA 'pull', aka merchant initiated transfers require a one time authorization, repeat debits require a one time authorization for the first payment and can be re-run afterwards (used for subscriptions), and can be revoked up to 90 days after the payment was done.
And Inferno as follow up to Plan 9, which keeps being forgotten.
Get a full time job, make friends and treat everyone with respect, work hard and do a kickass job in something essential for the company (that other companies also need), then quit and offer to consult for them. They’re your first client, which builds credibility (and eliminates suspicion you left on less than optimal circumstances). Write a blog and/or volunteer in the local tech community, and you’ll be surprised how many referrals you can get. Also, other ex-employees of the company can be wonderful referrals. Good luck.
I'd have to agree. Everything in the article about Europe is technically correct, but it is such a small slice of the SEPA payments. The article is so misleading it might as well be wrong.

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.

For fraud, my bank provides a gui with active agreements. While I can't cancel an agreement there, I can set a maximum frequency and amount. I put them at once per year max 0.0001 Euro until they get removed.

Non recurring payments over direct debit (Or even worse Clarna) is an instant no. I take another payment method. If grabbing money from my bank without my control is the only option, that's a red flag. I consider the company sleazy enough to go find a competitor, even if it raises the cost.
Her emotional outpouring is relevant context.

Whether that means that the media was or wasn't sympathetic enough, isn't my point. It also doesn't matter whether I think the media was/wasn't sympathetic enough.

Letting people read the original post allow people to individually determine whether they agree with the media's interpretation. It's not up to me (or the media) to decide what interpretation is right: it's up to each individual.

If you agree with the media's interpretation, good for you.
Drilling down into different categories is better than any other site I’ve used. And like Costco, they curate pretty well and just have one supplier for each part, although the supplier may change. If you need a type of gear or screw, there is one option only, no need to compare various brands.

It was just as good 15 years ago too! And it’s probably not true not but it used to be the least possible friction to order things. Even if you weren’t logged in, if ordering from a company premise it would just confirm the address and let you order and send you a bill later.
Hate that neither of them support non-Dutch banks (well, I think maybe Rabo has an extra paid service that does, but I don't bank there). Bunqs service did also accept CC, but I had to quit them over their never ending 'innovation'.

I desperately need something that works at least in the entire Eurozone.
My IDE puts annotations on every function and I can hover over values. Typing them out seems pointless with the right tooling.
If you need one car, but probably not if you need tens or hundreds of thousands.
Government payments in the Netherlands can be done in installments using direct payments, but the direct debit ones are the easiest and that is why many people use them. Far less chance of missing a payment. But if you want to do it yourself for every payment you can. Better not miss any though.

If you can’t trust your junior devs to write SQL nor have sufficient peer review (like pull requests on feature branches) to assist with their training then you should be using stored procedures and remove that responsibility from your developers entirely. Either that or sending your juniors on training exercises to level up their SQL experience.

And you don’t need ORMs to abstract away the RDBMS engine from your main codebase. Nearly every programming language these days (even statically compiled ones which support almost nothing in the way of dynamic code, like Go Lang) will allow you to do this.

I’m almost all instances where people think they need ORMs, what they really need is better software development practices in the wider sense and ORMs were just an excuse to hide those larger problems.

From there [1]:

Primary Algorithm: The primary algorithm is Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm
(ECDSA) as defined in (ISO/IEC 14888–3:2006) section 2.3, using the P–256 parameters as defined in appendix D (D.1.2.3) of (FIPS PUB 186–4) in combination the
SHA–256 hash algorithm as defined in (ISO/IEC 10118–3:2004) function 4.
This corresponds to the COSE algorithm parameter ES256.

Secondary Algorithm: The secondary algorithm is RSASSA-PSS as defined in (RFC
8230) with a modulus of 2048 bits in combination with the SHA–256 hash algorithm as
defined in (ISO/IEC 10118–3:2004) function 4.

So not exactly 512 bit RSA.

If pay with debit card you are doing a bank transfer. Maybe in the US most people are using credit cards but in EU many are using debit cards.

Yes, but how well defined, or how loose, is that "authorization"?
Or just do away with your ORM entirely and train your staff how to write SQL so they can be effective regardless of the complexity of the queries.

The remote feature of VS Code. It is so good that I completely forgot I was on a remote machine and was pissed it had crashed - until I realized that my internet was down.

It is even so good that if you start something that listens to a TCP port, VS Code will just forward it for you.

VS Code itself is still not nearly at the level of things like IntelliJ.

I use a custom keyboard with a similar columnar stagger. In addition it's small enough that I can reach every key without moving my hands, which means my accuracy is noticeably better. There's no chance I'm ever going back voluntarily. Typing all kinds of symbols all day just doesn't get more comfortable.

This is why I'm always so annoyed by all the "qwerty vs. dvorak" arguments. It's pretty much the least problematic part of conventional keyboard design.

Very sad that legitimate emails are often so bad that even after researching for 10-15 minutes I cannot be sure if a message is legitimate or not. And I'm working with email professionally (as sysadmin/SRE) for more than 10 years.

Regular email users who are not email expects can either trust all emails or delete most of them. Security trainings which tell don't open suspicious emails are useless because most emails are suspicious. PayPal, many utility providers even some big banks send very suspicious emails.

A typical example of fishy but legitimate emails is when company with the main domain example.com send emails from a different but similarly looking domain e. g. example-invoices.com and: whois is hidden using whois privacy, there is no website on this domain (even if there is - why should I trust it?), infrastructure is completely different from the main domain. In other words example-invoices.com have nothing in common with example.com the only way I can think example-invoices.com is legit - they know some personal data of a recipient but if you're paranoid you can expect this to come from a breach which nowadays are common.

This seems to be a extremely common concern based on what I see on HN.

In real life I’m not certain this is the case, but it would seem that white males feel especially persecuted even to the point where it’s not uncommon to see comments suggesting they are the most discriminated against group.

I’ll also point out how common this sentiment has been since the civil rights movement.

Is this just perception or is this reality?
"Shipping things 5000 miles should not be cheaper than making them closer to home."

The word "should" is used to contrast with reality. Crafting policy around something other than reality is not a good start.

Surely there are some costs hidden somewhere, and that distorts things. But if water transport is not the right way to do things, then there must be a huge worldwide conspiracy that's lasted for millenia.
Much of this story seems to be inaccurate, or perhaps outright fabricated for clickbait. The Wikipedia article for City View Center tells a much more boring story:

Wal-Mart did move out because of structural problems and a methane leak, but most of the other stores moved out as a consequence of Wal-Mart leaving. Two stores remain open, and there are still plans to re-use the rest of the site.

Also, despite the story talking about the buildings "sinking", the photographs included in the article clearly show the opposite is happening, the buildings are rising/floating up out of the ground, and are now higher than they were originally.
This was reported in the Dutch mainstream press, I think it was based on this report (in Dutch):

It’s probably based on this statistic:

Almost always 1.5%
Most of the time 2.9%
Sometimes 7.3%
Incidentally 13.9%
Never 74.9%

I was forced to pay Qantas using BPAY (as in, I did not want to spend $70+ on card fees). I ended up cancelling the flight for a full refund and was told I need to wait up to 12 weeks to get it paid back into the account.

Definitely not as flexible as a credit card payment which would have been reimbursed within days.

I was following them for years. There was a delay in obtaining the clearance. But where did they lie about it?

> They lied about when the camera would work.

First, this is called “a delay”. Second, if you would follow what exactly happened, they had to reverse engineer the camera due to extremely poor documentation. And all efforts were in the open. Unprecedented transparency.

They never lied about it. Any proofs? They have been working on it for a long time indeed for the same reason as above (documentation). The hardware is capable of 4G, so I’m sure it will work. Why do you think otherwise?

They never disclosed how many units they shipped.

My bank in Norway (SBanken, formerly Skandia Bank) allows me to specify a maximum amount that any creditor can ask for per month when using the equivalent of direct debits (and I also get notified in advance of every payment so that I can cancel either the individual payment or the whole agreement if I wish. This is all done via the web or app and takes effect immediately, no need to ask anyone at the bank to do anything. Here it is called AvtaleGiro.
> Most banks charge a hefty fee for an instant payment (mine charges €1.25).

Interesting. In my country (Finland) all banks that have joined the TIPS (SEPA Instant Settlement) always use it automatically if the destination bank supports it as well - at no extra charge to the account holder of course. Are you sure you are talking about TIPS / SCT Inst payments? Either way, your bank is not allowed to charge extra fees for cross-border SEPA transfers (as compared to domestic.)
But if you don't agree with a conspiracy theorist they have to deny that you have a good point, because if they don't their entire worldview collapses, so they'll obviously say "we're not being listened to"

If someone who's read a whole book about something wants to criticize it, fair enough, but I'll bet money that 99% of people hating CRT can barely spell CRT

Top tip: Don't stand next to a conspiracy theorist, people will think you're a conspiracy theorist. Calm down the crazy people who agree with you so they don't steal all the attention and make you look crazy too.
