I do this, but not specifically for PayPal. I have a checking account solely for using with third parties, writing checks, debit card transactions, account linking, etc. It has overdraft protection disabled. All my bank funds are in a “private” accounts that aren’t linked anywhere, don’t have checks, etc.
My understanding is that the evolution of the wave function is deterministic. Upon measurement, the wave function collapses to an eigenstate of the measurement operator. Which eigenstate is observed is random, with probability based on the corresponding eigenvalue. So the measurement process/wave function collapse is random.

Admittedly it's been a long time since I've studied quantum mechanics! Has the thinking changed?

I'd like to piggyback and say that increasing the surface for nitpicking and criticism is exactly why OP should release his code. It improves the world's ability to map data to the phenomenon being observed. It becomes auditable.

Certainly don't clean it up unless you're going to repeat the experiment with the cleaned up code.
Peanut gallery, in my experience. The number of people who I've never met before who decide to complain about hardcoded file paths or run a linter and tell me my paper must therefore be garbage is frustratingly high.

This seems to depend on a paper getting a modest amount of media traction. That seems to set off the group of people who want to complain about code online.
> What kind of competitive advantage does it give to you?

For every paper introducing the revolutionary Algorithm X, there are a bunch of follow-up papers like "Algorithm X applied to self-driving cars", "Algorithm X applied to smartphones", "Algorithm X with some tweaks that provide marginal improvements", "Algorithm X but using consumer-grade hardware" and so on.

If every other lab has to spend several months to replicate your first paper, you and your colleagues can spam out the follow-up papers before anyone else can catch up. This makes your publication count go up.

Other means for achieving similar effects include delaying the publication of your code, or releasing undocumented spaghetti-code with missing dependencies and entirely comprised of one-character variable names.

Of course, this stuff comes at a cost: Making it harder for people to use your work makes them less likely to use your work. So it might be better for your citation count to release the code - and in any case, who goes into research hoping their ideas will be ignored?.

As a Spaniard, I am confused by the "the J is obviously silent". The most neutral pronunciation of José in Spain (the one you would hear in Spanish broadcast news) is indeed /xo'se/.

Spanish is extremely rich in pronunciation variations, due to the large population spread over several continents, so in most cases when you observe something about "Spanish" you need to focus on a specific region or dialect, for the observation to have a proper context.
Excellent comment. So many people seem unable to see that NN-based modelling is really just a new and powerful way of doing correlation analysis, and that we still reject the systems when the results don't line up with what we know of reality.
There are certain interviews to Azoreans that require subtitles to be added, otherwise nobody from the mainland will understand anything that they're saying due to a very thick accent.

The R in Roberto can be soft like a Spanish J, or it can be pretty hard, albeit with the back of tongue bouncing off the palate rather than the tip, depending on many factors - local accent, the speaker's mood or energy level, etc. Mind you, to us it will still be the same phoneme, just at different "softness" levels.

In other accents, the tip of the tongue is used in the same fashion as in Spanish. This is especially present in border regions.

In other regions, that R is a single hit of the tip of the tongue, especially around Italian and German colony regions, similar to what a single R in the middle of a word typically sounds in Portuguese.

Not universally but a lot of the ACH agreements you consent to have a clause allowing drafts to be initiated on-demand until you revoke that consent. This isn’t necessarily bad and can often be desirable, but then it’s often up to you and the withdrawing party to settle your disputes about what is authorized and what is not.
You should look into OFAC. They'll freeze your account for withdrawals, but not deposits, and no one is allowed to tell you it was an OFAC hit.

Make no mistake, financial service in the United States is heavily tilted against the consumer, and your service provider should be considered an actively hostile entity.

Because it demonstrates the exact thing that sceptics said it would happen?

Think a perpetuum mobile company having a demonstration of their machine and it stops. Would you be able to use the excuse that the demo was about showing that they can build machines and not the machine that they promised?

Demonstration that they can dig tunnels? Why would that need a demonstration and even if they wanted to demonstrate it why would they demonstrate it with cars inside and then say that the cars part doesn't count.

Digging tunnels is a very old thing. We know it can be done and we know it works well when you run electric vehicles inside it(All underground systems already run on electric cars), it's just that it doesn't solve congest any differently than the one on the ground. Two cars can't occupy the same volume and it holds both over ground and underground.

Sometimes the difference between Elizabeth Holmes and Mus*k are negligible. She should just failed to kick can down the road for long enough I guess. She should have imitated Mus*k instead of Jobs, then people would have been saying thing like "The tests not producing correct results doesn't mean anything, it's just a demonstration that they can build machines".

The https://taz.de/Missbrauch-und-Missachtung/!5823374/ links, according to Google Translate at https://taz-de.translate.goog/Missbrauch-und-Missachtung/!58... says:

> That he was a parthenophile and abusive of girls is absent from most biographies . While his biographers Walter Moore and John Gribbin mention it in their books on Schrödinger, it has been largely ignored. Wikipedia has no reference whatsoever: "Schrödinger and his wife Annie lived in an open relationship - Schrödinger openly had extramarital relationships, for example with the wife of his colleague and friend Arthur March," it says there only.

and mentions:

> Barbara, whose married name was McEntee, died in 1995. Her family only found out about Schrödinger's unwanted attention long after her death. "The subject never came up with my mother, as you can imagine," says her son, Bernard Biggar. He had come across Moore's biography while following a cross-reference to his great-uncle de Brún. In September, after reading an article in the Irish Times about an official cycle route that follows Schrödinger's footsteps through ten stops in Dublin, he asked author Joe Humphreys why he hadn't mentioned Schrödinger's parthenophilia. That was a mistake, Humphreys admitted three weeks ago: "The evidence was obvious," he wrote. "Schrödinger was a serial abuser."
I do this with my code and can highly recommend it.

Supplying bad code is a lot more valuable than supplying no code.

Also in my experience, reviewers won't actually review your code, even though they like it a lot when you supply it.

I thought about it, and I don’t think I would be happier not changing the pronunciation. This weird feeling is very minor, just a matter of curiosity, not something that bothers me.

And one key difference is the said Portuguese R. It’s trickier than Samuel variations. I think a lot of people would not understand what my name is at all if I pronounce it the way we do it in Brazil.
To prove you wrong, one would have to take the position that those industries are making more and better content.

UG is like GmbH with a difference that, afair, 25% or 30% of the profit has to be put aside towards GmbH conversion. Also, you’d do the conversion typically at the end of fiscal year.

For investors putting serious money in, what’s the difference if they can recover €5k or €25k? Stammkapital is the maximum liability for both UG and GmbH.

Many app developers have complained that even within Gnome, apps developed using GTK get a very high number of bugs that are caused by unique customizations that the user may have installed and no one else does. These bugs, despite being significant in number, consume an even more outsized amount of resources and energy because they are very difficult to reproduce.

System76 is only adding to that mess.
From the link - "Isaac Newton had a cause for acceleration (force) but none for inertia."

Funny, because physics explains that all objects of mass have inertia. Heavy objects traveling at speed have inertia. Faster speeds? More Inertia. Heavier objects? More inertia, and we can calculate inertia : I = mr2.

I doubt that this author has any credibility for anything related to physics.
If you publish it, please make sure it works today, and can work tomorrow. Pin the versions of any dependencies, or bundle them if feasible.

I helped my wife with a replication study that should have been straightforward, and I was unable to get the code running after about a week. I don’t necessarily believe the research was suspect, but broken code does draw more suspicion.

From the essay:

> "Computer scientists hate, hate thinking about the loss of idealness that comes with scale."

Unusual interpretation, but if we fail to improve software robustness, reliability, and security, then I interpret this as "don't worry too much about securing your TCP/IP connection with the bank; twenty other forms of information leakage are occurring from the surface contacts involved".
I'm so happy to see this. I am working on publishing a book on leanpub, and leanpub disburses payments using paypal. Yesterday, I logged into my paypal account and I remembered that this happened to me and my funds and account were frozen since 2010 (something I must have put out of my mind :p).

I was searching for this issue and found this lawsuit and cannot wait to be part of it.

Dealing with Paypal during the time was borderline abusive and I felt helpless every step of the way. In 2010 when they froze my account they mailed me a physical letter with an activation code which took weeks, and when I called to confirm my account I was told that the code was incorrect...

I had very very little money in my account < $100 and I can't imagine how frustrating it would be for someone who needed paypal for their income.

I'm happy to be in a position where I can choose to never use paypal again and I hope they are punished for the way they treat their customers.
It's really and outrageous that this open stealing of customers' hard-earned cash for minor perceived user agreement violations is so freaking rampant, with PayPal. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that this literally was a strategy cooked up by the higher-ups at PayPal to buff up the company's gross profits.
I think the opposite of this (reducing enforcement should not increase crime) has been proven false by Californias Prop 47 [1]. So, I imagine the starting point, where enforcement is then increased, is very important.

I'm all for it, but my overall experience so far has been that if something happens to a small percentage of users - like 1% or less - then overall it won't gain traction or matter much.

There would maybe something valuable in your response here, but the fact that it doesn't speak to all the details of the article kinda makes it seem a little kneejerk; it "protests too much". And the fact you even have that reflex is probably something to work on with such sensitive matters. At the very least, realize it makes you look really bad dude.
By this logic unfortunately every single person who has the ability to chat online should be taken as a serious threat to national security, there is a dramatic difference between people who are crazy but think they're organised and a real organised group.

Yes, I think the asymmetry is entirely due to Portuguese people being regularly exposed to Brazilian pronunciation, whereas the reverse is much rarer.

In the late 80's & 90's Portugal started importing TV programs from Brazil. Since the 2000's this happens much less, but that has been replaced by a large number of Brazilian immigrants settling in Portugal.

As far as I can tell there are no equivalent influences going in the other direction, so Brazilians are rarely exposed to Portuguese pronunciation.

There's a lot of incentive. The problem is HR and employers have decided to turn a blind eye to it in favor of looking at the next quarter.

Why give someone a 10% raise because the market has spoken when you might be able to retain them with a 5% raise? Even if you hire new employees at a premium, some contingent of older employees will stick around just because switching jobs is a hassle. This sort of thing drives down quarterly costs which ultimately makes you look good to shareholders who can't see the internal destruction.
