(Assuming you're not paying cash) Unless you've also negotiated your APR with your sales price, thats where it usually shows up. The rate is just recalculated to make the fee included. For "no penalty" payoffs, it generally has fine print saying you can't sell before some minimum period of ownership.

Which is why it's a good idea to have backup financing pre-arranged and approved with a credit union. That gives you leverage to negotiate financing even with a settled cash price.

Either that, or their margin on the vehicle at your negotiated price is big enough that it doesn't make much difference to them.

It's just something that happens once you learn to see the thoughts themselves arising, rather than feeling like you are thinking them.

This occurs automatically, once you start meditating, typically within just a couple weeks even for those people (like me) who "don't get it" at first.

Where would they come from in some alternate reality? What would the difference in your perception be if you weren't just watching a movie of your own life but where actually in charge of your thoughts? It's hard for me to imagine it being any different.
Oh, interesting. I've used Bitvec for serializing binary data, and I can see how you can use it for parsing single bits or u8s... do you have an example of how to parse, say, a 3-bit binary number with Bitvec?
“Remediations” often refers to exactly that. Would suggest we wait for an update from the author to see how Stripe handles that, if at all.
Agreed this would be a nice addition.

https://docs.rs/bitmatch/latest/bitmatch/ works nicely but only for a single integer.

> someone at a bank in Japan has the phone number of someone at a bank in New York and can "wire" money with a phone call instead of sending a SWIFT message

Wires, as the article explains, are just debits and credits. And all non-paper debits and credits of dollars are ultimately governed by the banks’ credits and debits with the Fed. So no, you can’t wire dollars with a phone number if the other side is sanctioned. You can if they’re off SWIFT, but you need someone with an account at the Fed to make those changes.
This is ZeroHedge, after all. It’s all apocalypse, all day, every day! We are doomed! Gotta get those clicks.

I’m a big fan of any and all alternatives in health care payments. The ACA is a massive influence here that isn’t being discussed though. The free mental health services discussed in the comments by Evry seem generous and excessive on their part, until you realize that the mental health parity rule can easily and casually stick them with $50k or more of bills for in-patient treatment, where over-admission frequently happens to the detriment of the patient in some cases [1] and merely the insurer in others [2,3]. Getting ahead of this and trying to divert patients from this wasteful system is a fantastic and profitable idea for the insurer. This seems to be a success of the ACA and what insurance is supposed to be doing. But this is somewhat of a cat and mouse game in the long term because they ultimately can not choose they cover.

"Mark as unread" just makes it look like an unread message. I want to read every message as it comes in, in case it's urgent. "Mark as unread" would either obscure new incoming messages from the same sender, or cause me to unnecessarily triage the same message several times.

"Remind me" is time based, which is too arbitrary. I want to instantly see everything unanswered, not have it trickle in at random intervals. Using the "Save" button as "Move to inbox" as nthj suggested makes more sense. It's also easier to click.
Yes, politicians and teachers' unions share most of the blame. It's unconscionable how long they insisted on keeping schools closed, despite the massive impact on families and students and the minimal danger posed to kids. I feel sympathy for parents who are trying their best to survive while teachers have taken this as an excuse to work even less.

> btw, I'm not sure the extent to which it is "protected". Being a parent is protected, but I'm not sure that extends to the ability to only put in half the work, even after society has failed. (And in my mind, it did fail.)

Yes, if you can objectively prove that a parent isn't working then they wouldn't be protected. This is very obvious and easily quantifiable in an in-office environment, but with remote knowledge work it's much harder to prove—especially since the result would look like you're suddenly targeting parents for "not working hard enough." Most companies are risk-averse and simply prefer to tolerate underperformance.
> highly stable over the past 2 decades, in fact it gained about 20%

Stable or gaining 20%?

Also its not stable, nor trustworthy. You can't trust china to not manipulate it.
I don't disagree with most of your comment, but I do want to point out that the code to power Ethereum's switch to PoS is actually built out now and is in its final stages of testing. The latest Kiln test network is effectively a release candidate. At no point in the past several years has that been true, so it's comparing apples to oranges to say it's been "about to go" for that long.
In the US? Probably not.

But in Europe that outrage will also be from a place of fear: maybe Russia will do it to you, too. So it will be longer lasting and a more intense and probably a truer feeling. Not fake outrage.
Honestly, my hypothesis (as I have no discrete data) is that sites like reddit, twitter, HN, tumbler, etc. already have CIA / NSA / "DoD" people both on staff and as participatory users, likely volunteer moderators / admins as well.

When you start to think about how many other foreign countries are doing the exact same thing, well, you start wanting to use social media a lot less.
A dev in Mountain View has many more high-paying opportunities than the same guy in Weed, CA (pop. 2,862). Google pays him more because that’s what it takes to retain him.

Someday if most employers switch to remote-first, this won’t matter and salaries will be equal everywhere (a lot lower than we’ve seen in tight labor markets, and probably the first world in general).
I have had to debug slow forking cases with Java. No I can't point you at data from those. I can point you to the Microsoft paper and @famzah's posts if you want data. For Microsoft this is an important topic: they don't want to have to implement a real fork(), and I fully understand why they don't want to. My guess is they will eventually buckle and do it. fork() is not easy to implement.

> Calling it "intelligence" is just tiring at this point...

I think more what they are getting at here is emergence[0] rather than "intelligence" like AI/AGI/ML or animal intelligence. Ants are fairly dumb and have mostly simple rule sets but create a form of intelligence through emergent properties. Similarly Conway's Game of Life or even physics itself. I think the problem is that intelligence is often used as a buzzword in marketing and can send mixed signals and makes it difficult to determine what authors mean.

The Amazon fresh near me has a buggy with a bunch of cameras and a scale on it. When you drop food items into it, it's automatically added and weighed. When you push the buggy to an exit line it checks for any errors then emails you a receipt.

If you're wondering how it detects the produce, produce in the US has tiny little stickers on it or at least a PLU code where its sitting. You enter that 4 digit code and it gets weighed.
Totally - the conversation definitely has shifted in general in Bitcoin's favor since it's launch.

My only point was, whatever comments people are making in the past few years which fit under the umbrella of "For those saying that crypto is useless", it feels like those have been directed at all the other stuff in the eco-system - while "moving their property across borders" is something which was solved by Bitcoin along time ago.

It took a long time (for the general public) to learn how strategically important the Greenbrier was; there could be all sorts of baggage there.
Yep, that's fair. However at that point I'd say anything of note like that should really be recorded somewhere with a more long-term/permanent record, like in a wiki or similar, rather than ephemerally.
Random fun fact... Nim was also played in Season 3, episode 9 of Halt and Catch Fire (between Cameron and Joe, at Comdex). Actually the title of the episode is Nim.
If the truth makes them owe damages… then they rightfully owe the damages, which would make that silence willfully unethical. It’s wrong to try to avoid making things right especially if you think you have a legal obligation to make things right.

So sure, just do your absolute best to shirk your legal obligations. Most companies do. But most companies didn’t have Stripes’s reputation.

That said, I personally don’t think this is what Stripe is doing. I think they STILL aren’t 100% sure what the whole situation is and they don’t have anyone close to this who is willing and knowledgeable enough to call the shots any more quickly.

So it looks like a long investigation in parallel with the fix, and maybe some external feedback (this letter, some minor legal discussions with affected parties), will help provide the learnings and context necessary to actually understand what the effects were and what their responsibilities are.

They may not be able to make it right immediately even if they want to because they’re not quite sure what (precisely) they legally screwed up and how that affects each customer.

So, there’s a fine line between malice and local incompetency (which doesn’t even have to be massive incompetency! Someone who has 95% of all the experience they need for the role could get caught off guard in this situation). I’m sure stripe has the expertise it needs for this, it just might not have been in this group at the time.

Of course Stripe isn’t blameless as a company, they’re a huge financial company with more than enough resources to prevent, mitigate, and recompensate these kinds of accidents.

It’s understandable that things can fall through the cracks in such an ambitious tax engine.

There's an entirely separate system of dealer approved discounts that customers never see.

Regardless, you aren't getting a few lunch. It just means your negotiated price had the margins to absorb whatever financing they ended up offering.

And the manufacturers are directly and indirectly controlling those margins based on complying with their approved discounts, whether advertised or unpublished.

They even have a discount type for sales to immediate family, that applies to any car that doesn't keep dealer plates and dealer insurance.
In some firing squads there's only one bullet and the rest are blanks -- though if you've been in one, some say you can tell the difference between the bullet and the blank. The idea is to give a plausible deniability to those that follow the order: "It wasn't my gun that had the bullet."

If the method for delivering the nuclear order is routine and 99.99% benign (except for the 0.01% where it's not) and the order is checked only by machines, then no one would know except for the person that made it.

Further, to enforce compliance with routine behavior, one just needs to threaten the family of the subordinates. Or better yet, occasionally take one of your subordinates and make an example out of them, once every two years say. Send them and their family to labor camps never to be seen again.
Yeah, I either had never really noticed the Save functionality, or never thought to use it as a pseudo-todo list. Will definitely give it a try.
It's a fairness thing at scale. In a small org, when you trust people to behave as adults they will generally fall within some band of normal that everyone sees as "reasonable". In a large org, you get outliers that do things someone else would consider unacceptable, and then they set the tone for the organization ("if they can do it, why can't I?"), and soon it's a race to the bottom in behavior.

The "cities" metaphor is actually pretty apt. In small towns everybody polices each other, and you don't behave badly because your life will become pretty difficult if you do. In a big city, you either have lots of rules in the form of municipal codes, or people start behaving badly along some dimension, eg. crime in SF or zoning in Houston.
Merchant banking was indeed quite similar to hawala, and came out of very similar needs. Correspondent banking is an outgrowth of merchant banking, and essentially allows trust chains to expand.

SWIFT is a messaging system which those trust chains use to communicate.

My dad owns a successful chain of bicycle stores in Texas. He’s been in business for almost 51 years and he’s one of the largest bike dealers by volume in the country. He has nearly a hundred employees and a bookkeeper. Despite having a proverbial dozen balls in the air at any time and despite having people on the payroll to do bookkeeping, he sits down at his computer every night at home, logs into the ERP system, and reviews sales and receipts. He catches all kinds of crazy things. Credit card fraud (before the chargeback even comes), internal theft, mis-priced items, mistakes, you name it. He has great employees but even the best make mistakes and he’s learned this habit over the decades the hard way. I remember sitting next to him as a kid, watching him pour over cash register journal tapes that were yards long, looking for problems.

My point: if you let this kind of fuck-up go undetected for over three months, you have to at least assume some of the blame and acknowledge that you probably could have caught it if you scrutinized transactions. Every good business owner does it.
Total opposite Spotify experience - their "Discover Weekly" playlist has turned me on to so much cool music I don't think I would have found elsewhere. I don't like a lot of what they do (why would I listen to podcasts there?!) but that playlist is what keeps my subscription. Added bonus is that friends share _their_ discovery playlists with me and I get to hear a different curation based on their different musical tastes.
Treat your slack messages as a queue, something asynchronous you respond to when you are free. If management forces you to immediately respond to every slack message, then you have a dysfunctional culture that will of course clash with WFH. They should be using something like pagerduty if it's urgent.
For a headline, sure. It's about a sequence of four events, and they're packed into nearly the most terse statement possible - it's well understood that this is the main job of a headline. But they're in nearly reverse chronological order, so by the time I reach the third event, my brain starts stumbling trying to figure out what the statement is actually about. If you don't have any context, it's almost completely backwards. Rewriting it with comprehension as the goal, you would get something like this:

The city surveillance program was subject to an oversight law, and Mayor Breed proposed gutting this law, but then withdrew the proposal.

Which, of course, would be a terrible headline, because it includes punctuation.

It is untenable for Russia to keep any portion of Ukraine. It's a violation of the Geneva Convention and the U.N. Charter. At worst it could be made neutral territory and put in U.N. peacekeeping troops.

Two world wars were fought over this issue of just rolling tanks into people's backyards and then staking claim to the land. The sole purpose of these agreements, to which Russia is a signatory (and a founding member of the U.N.) is to prevent exactly what they are doing. It's bad enough the response to Russia's 2009 invasion of Georgia and 2014 invasion of Ukraine came with tepid responses - but it's not OK to just roll over and change borders as an exchange for stopping aggressive war. It would be rewarding that behavior.

The sanctions on Russia should persist as long as Russia occupies Ukraine. This is what they've previously agreed to.

I will welcome it when it does, don't get me wrong. That honestly removes a major issue I have with cryptocurrency (at least with Ether, anyway). There are a host of more theoretical reasons I'm not buying into the ecosystem, but remove that negative externality and hey - you do you, not my bag but you aren't hurting others.

I'm sure it is closer than ever, if it wasn't then there's something wrong with the development process! I sincerely wish the various people involved good luck in this venture and a speedy success in moving it to production. In the mean time I'm still going to get pissed off at people saying that energy concerns are outdated, especially when they're referring to the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Depends on definitions. If we consider "free" someone completely self determined, independent of anything outside itself, unconditioned, yes, then there is no-thing that is free.

But you may define "free" differently.

(I work at Stripe but don’t in any way speak for the company. This purely personal.)

I don’t mind them publishing this. It doesn’t feel unfair or dramatizing or in bad faith (etc.)

At the end of the day we build things to try and make other humans’ lives easier; to wrap the complexities of “global financial internet infrastructure” so business owners like the OP can focus on things that are not “collecting Canadian taxes”.

Whether Stripe ended up making the “right” changes in this case or not, we didn’t hit that bar.

And as “someone who works for Stripe but absolutely in no way speaks for Stripe”, it’s a productive reminder of the downstream effects of what we build. What we build has real world implications, ones people at Stripe take very seriously.

It hurts to read about the misses, but I would 10000% rather read about it on the front page of HN than us not know about it. And in this case, again, what they wrote doesn’t feel like it’s in bad faith, so it’s useful feedback.
Something like this:

use bitvec::prelude::*; // BitView trait, Msb0, etc

let my_input = vec![0b11100000u8];
let bitslice = my_input.view_bits::<Msb0>();

let my_num = bitslice[..3].load_be::<u8>();

// continue parsing after my_num
let nextslice = &bitslice[3..];

You would use Lsb0 instead of Msb0 if you wanted to parse bytes starting at the low bit.

It would be more convenient with a peek/take style wrapper over the slice, but I don't think one is included in the crate.
