Anyone happen to know the good reason retirees at 80 years old need hours extended outside the daytime window?

Of all segments, superficially seems they'd be the most able to visit a branch during business day. But a second thought says that's probably failing to think in their shoes.

For example, if they are less able to get around than younger segments, the issue could be being taken to the bank by a working family member who can only take them before or after the driver's working hours. (But driving is a US thing, while EU is chock full of busses, so maybe it's not driver, maybe it's availability of someone just 'accompanying' them.)

Other reasons?

As our population ages, and depending on the pool of problems causing the need for extended hours, I'm wondering if there's some service that could be offered to resolve whatever the collection of reasons are across not just banking but anything with limited hours that retirees need.
What’s a third generation Italian migrant? Your family has been migrating for three generations? Or you’re just an American with an Italian great-grandparent?
Where are you getting your direct experience from? This is going to sound more aggressive than it is but it doesn't look like you're qualified to be declaring these kinds of facts on the realities faced by EU businesses.

I would suggest you focus on talking about the specific issues you face rather than questioning my background, but bear in mind that the UK was part of the GDPR pre-Brexit, is presently subject to much the same regime, our company is a recipient of Horizon 2020 funding, we have offices, customers and investors in the EU, and I have spent several years now dealing with the regulatory issues raised by GDPR and how they impact on our business. I am reasonably confident that I know what I'm talking about – you experience may vary, and I am way more interested in hearing what you feel your challenges are than I am in nitpicking your credentials.
Its happening across all the major web services. Happens on youtube all the time, obviously google services, Discord, twitter to name but a few. Then you have the big shops like Amazon and Ebay that are big on exposing their customers to fraud. Honestly it just feels like all these web platforms are following the same arbitrary rule book and every last one of them doesn't care about keeping its customers. I am not sure they are even wrong, they just get more successful and bigger every year, its a successful strategy.
I'm fond of KyuWeb but not quite stuck on it if something better struck me. I don't think anything that looks like version numbers would be it, though.

What would we call the second iteration of One Point One Web (should there be one)? One Point One Web Two Point Oh?
Why would I follow people who clearly don’t know what they are talking about. NICE guidelines now explicitly exclude exclude GET and CBT has had to be reinvented and is still explicitly not a cure. A best approximation of ‘new CBT’ is a treatment for dysautonomia for which beta blockers are more effective.

You’re not the only person who
is dismissive. But the evidence that you are wrong is already out there and constantly growing.
Good point - it should follow that given assumption that with infinitesimal probability of infinite payoff, there is also a corresponding non-zero probability of infinite risk.

Overall I think OP is mostly about them struggling to reduce hypothetical outcomes involving infinities to real numbers in order to be able to rank them. For example:

> Agent-neutrality: If there is a welfare-preserving bijection from the agents in w1 to the agents in w2, then w1 and w2 are equally good.
> By “welfare-preserving bijection,” I mean a mapping that pairs each agent in w1 with a single agent in w2, and each agent in w2 with a single agent in w1, such that both members of each pair have the same welfare level.

They then proceed to compare a w1 with a 1/0 of 1:1 vs w2 with a 1:3 ratio, "skipping" 2/3 of 0s in w2, claiming a contradiction. So they're really doing a injective non-surjective mapping, not a bijective one, and them being infinite doesn't really absolve that. I think they could get some insight from algorithmic analysis and limits. Just like (probably sloppy notation here) O(0.25n) is faster than O(0.5n) even if both are O(0.5n).
I get YouTube Red with YouTube music, and for me it's more than worth it.

You're going to pay about $10 a month for music streaming anyway, and I watch YouTube so much. If I didn't have premium, I'd be wasting at least an hour per day on ads.
You can deduct home mortgage interest [1]. Another way in which homeownership and to an extent NIMBYism is subsidized in the tax code and by government policies.

The essential practice (frequently ignored) is that you have to break the task into subtasks that take more time than the time to split between tasks. You usually can get away with a wide range (orders of magnitude) of subtask sizes that get a good speedup so you don't have to tune it exactly.

Whenever I try to get a parallel speedup I build some kind of batching before I do the actual subtask execution because almost always the smallest level of granularity is too small so instead of getting a 4x speedup on four cores you get a 20x slowdown. Whenever I do this in a "hackathon" environment with others I end up feeling like a Cassandra because the other people think that batching is optional or an optimization but unless the natural granularity of your task is huge it's essential if your goal is getting speedup.
It definitely does, without any kind of extra configuration or work.
Exactly. So I’m paying 12$ a month, which is more than Netflix and still get ads. That’s actually the reason why I won’t get YT premium.
I think the topic was interoperability, i.e. being able to send messages between apps regardless of encryption considerations.
> Sadly, open standards also slow down the development of new features, as everybody needs to be "on board" for new features to roll out.

Stop repeating this talking point of big tech. This is FUD. Sure, developing the standard further requires more work and is slower if just one person alone developed it, but the upsides clearly overweigh.

Furthemore, everonye is free to build their own features in their own app that are not part of an open protocol (good examples are snooze or send later features in email).

PS: As a sister comment pointed out, open standard is not even in the scope of this new EU act. It's only about opening up their APIs. They are not foced to use an open protocol.
I worry this coupling will make it harder for laws to evolve. What would GDPR look like if the EU had to coordinate with the US? Probably some muted, compromised version.

I don’t think this is wise.
I'm not a developer but I dislike offering a bad experience to the ones we have.

I run a service that provides data, I've bent over backwards to speed it up.. but there's only so much I can do until another team moves the source somewhere better
The article refers only to the Politeia (republic). And most commentators do the same. It is pretty likely that they do so because they know little Plato. Popper, however, knew more than that. While the totalitarian tendencies in the Politeia are already indicated1, Popper refers to later dialogues such as the Nomoi (Laws) which spell it out.

1where Plato's Socrates takes on the task of refuting himself- a common rhethoric ploy trying limit the power of interpretation to oneself

Further, Popper made it abundantly clear that whosoever thought that Popper's critique of Plato referred only to the Politeia had not read Popper at all. So far so bad. Philosophers as well as there reception can be a sobering experience.
Taxes are not a majority program though. The way something like this would end up working is the kids getting 90's in high school and going to top tier engineering programs would happily pony up the money along with a few other demographics that were confident in their earning potential. The vast majority of high income earners that pay the majority of taxes would disappear from the income system by having paid back just their costs. But the system needs the high income earners to pay more than one person's fair share. This would be a one time tax grab that would destroy the future tax base in a disastrous way.
Mozilla's not a cult. The users of their products are not outsiders. Having someone who worked their frame it like that really illuminates the current vibe I get from Mozilla.

Let's first clear up why this is: spam control. Google along with the rest of the industry has essentially killed email spam through the many additions to classical email standards. From reputation based delivery, to spam databases, crypto signatures and more. This isn't just to reduce an eye sore in your inbox. Spam does real damage, financial and otherwise.

Despite the complexity needed to run a reliable email system, it's still possible to do and many do. It also allows for innovation without a lot of capital (e.g. licensing fees paid to walled garden owners). Without open interoperability, it's either impossible (e.g. general iMessage), limiting (e.g. iMessage, WhatsApp for business) or expensive to do.
In hell she’ll be in good company!
To get the best performance, many Java applications, especially network-intensive ones, use native libraries. Netty is a perfect example, and is used by a lot of projects.

> Even worse, given that Docker and Kubernetes basically take Java/.NET application servers to other programming languages.

No they don’t. Not sure what you intended to convey here.
Most artist throughout history do not get paid much if anything. I think that is why it's art. Try as they will they still wont get paid.
BTW, Firefox on mobile lets you do that as well.
Android has smarttube app which is even better (imho) compared to official youtube app, even if you pay for adfree

For starters, it supports sponsorblock which is even more adblocking. Secondly i think ux is miles better

The problem you run into with most games is that they have to have a consistent view of the game board at least once per "tick". Most games don't have issues calculating the state of the game in a single thread for most of a usual player's playthrough. The time where this fails is in simulation games when advanced players try to do hyper-scale things.

If I were limited on time and resources, I would focus on improving things that affect the 99% of standard players rather than go and add multithreading and deal with ACID issues.
A honest reminder: we already have a document-oriented web, it's name is "web". html+css distributed via http, are actually that.

Recently there is a certain push toward a comeback to such classic model with personal static websites vaguely used as blogs.

The main issue is not much an alternative to such well-established and well-known model but the actual web evolution, the sole way to fight it it's NOT following the same model "correcting the aim" but proposing a different model. Classic desktops and Plan 9 propose a different model that IMVHO we desperately need today.

So why propose "another web"? Any platform have two initial big issues: users and contents. The classic web is already accessible by anyone, just using and advertising it well suffice, put a very well visible feed icon on any personal website, dedicating a page to explain how to use a feed reader and proposing an opml with a set of interesting feeds [1] telling why feeds are personal aggregators and while far underdeveloped they can still work very well as they are and with more popularity they might get new features like a personal recommendation engine, tweakable by it's user, not by some corporate propaganda interests. Offering a newsletter option, full article in the mail, text or html without remote contents or even option for pdf-atteched articles beautifully made by LaTeX from some source, like org-mode export complete the game. The consumers barrier is essentially zero. The producer barrier is still significant since it demand some monetary investments, but since having a personal home-server is something more and more popular and in many place of the world domestic connections start to have a decent enough upload it's not that hard to offer nice pre-cooked distros (some already exists since many years) NOT full of crappy corporate-pushed tech like docker/k*s/proxmox-on-raspberry and other absurdity fairly common today + advertising a bit things like ZeroNet (not that good, but perform well enough and it's just an easy to deploy python package) might be of help. The rest arrive is that get a bit of traction.

Next step: talking place. Usenet is widespread even if almost faded into oblivion, it's not that hard to revive it, some have already done that for piracy/commercial purposes with dedicated binary groups to spread music, TV series etc to a point that for a certain slice of the public usenet today is a substitute for bittorrent yesterday. File sharing? Retroshare is a good example and the success of PopcornTime clearly say that's possible IF there is a community behind with good intentions (so for instance not focused on piracy from day zero). Again the rest might follow, trying to push absurd social like fediverse is instead a recipe to a disaster.

We have desktops, not much datacenters, a solution for us the people is desktop based, not modern web/cloud copy...

[1] if a visitor find a website interested probably some/many other feeds followed by the website author will be interesting for the visitor as well.
Yeah, that statement prompted me to try Gateway. It felt a bit premature then. The initial setup is a bit more involved with Projector, which may be a good reason to direct new users to the more recent offering.

There is a federal mortgage interest tax deduction, and there may also be a state level deduction depending on the state since they each have different tax laws. On the federal level, 90%+ people do not use the mortgage interest tax deduction because doing so would cost them more than not using it.
Maybe the previous speaker means the "tragedy of Common Lisp", where (in my understanding of the problem) it was happened to became too much of clever developers which decided to add too much of clever things in main library which are required to be known for keep writing the compiler in same code style (I am not a real programmer but have a sympathy to that answer, please correct me for creating more precise answer).
I've been using YT premium family for over a year now - I watch a lot of youtube in the background while working, it's a fair price for me - worth more than Netflix for sure since I spend more time on it.

When I occasionally see YT on other peoples TV without it I'm shocked at how many ads they get. I'm not sure what's the alternative to YT but this insane ad spam might start driving people away to alternatives.
In 99% of the cases a EAR file + JDBC connection is enough.
It's not so much about the Java code itself. When your Java app needs to talk to a database, it's convenient to be able to write integration tests against a running instance of the real DB. Ideally you'd also have a light-weight mock DB for unit tests, but some things only show up against the real deal. I guess you _could_ build that kind of test environment without containers, but I sure wouldn't want to.

Edit: Potentially ignoring that quote - I can't help observing that although I used Common Lisp as my main development language for 6 years in an academic research environment and really enjoyed it I've never wanted to use it since then...
Board seats come with a duty of loyalty meaning you can only back one competitor. In a world with unlimited investment capital, it might be more rational to back all the best companies in a particular space rather than just a single one. The lack of board seat reduces the investor's obligation to the company and frees up the constrained resource which is partner capacity. Rational.
One thing is the formal process, another the practical one. It's like nominating a new UK Prime Minister: nominally it's the Queen doing something, in practice it's parliamentarians agreeing on a name through some sort of meeting of leaders.

The formal process of EU approval for directives and regulations resulted in certain practical norms. Basically, representatives for the three main organs (EUParliament, EUCouncil - i.e. national ministers - and EUCommission) sooner or later have to sit down and bang together a compromise on texts put forward by one or more of them. This is where we are today, this is what's been reported - that step has been completed.

Now the text gets put through the formal process, and it should be guaranteed to pass (bar surprising developments or upsets, like a country switching government and hence reneging on their position or EUParliament being particularly angry about specific bits of the text).

In terms of speed of approval this can be as short as a week, for the urgent stuff, but this will probably take a bit more as lobbyists will now go in overdrive trying to delay the cut-off enforcement dates that the text will contain.

In terms of distance from enforcement, this sort of world-changing rule typically gets put into force on 1 January of some future year. I reckon 1 January 2023 looks good, but we'll have to see the actual text to know for sure.
I feel the same pain as you do about being complicit in all of this and I have no ready answers.

The best I managed to do is that my family's email addresses use a custom domain I manage so I am not locked into a single webmail provider. Occasionally I have to deal with some issue or delivery delays (especially for authentication emails) but it's orders of magnitude less effort than when I made the mistake of trying to run my own mailserver.
Package them inside of shared libraries of the Application container, or use a multitarget JAR/WAR/EAR file.
So why use it if it's not worth it ? Or is the time you spend on it not worth 11$/month ? I'd guess that if you use it less than 11/month would be worth - you probably won't mind a couple of adds when you occasionally do watch it.
Spain is not America, for the ADA ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Ac... ) to apply.

Still, I wonder what legal the situation is in the U.S., for that sort of "just tell 'em that they have to use our..." corporate cost-cutting, at less-able customer expense.

> Apparently Vanced was a patched YouTube app

This is the part I missed in the original conversations.

If you redistribute a modified version of a company’s app, it’s going to be taken down. You can’t distribute another company’s work as your own.

The difference here appears to be that it’s a patcher, so they’re not distributing the proprietary app. Theoretically more robust against takedowns, but it also significantly limits the audience of who can go through all of the steps to do it.

I expect the real outcome is going to be a game of whack-a-mole as random people try to patch and distribute the app under different names. This isn’t actually a great situation because it sets an expectation among users that the app will always be changing names and distributors. Hackers love these situations because the door is now wide open for them to insert malicious code into a version and distribute it as the latest Revanced. Not good.
Is it fine to work on weekends?
That is what JDBC and JNDI are for.
The real problem here is that there are no brick and mortar branche offices with regular business hours any more, only special appointments to be booked using an app.
> it hurts to see that the digital world has dehumanized us to the point that loyalty has lost all of its worth

sigh, this has almost nothing to do with the "digital" world as much as it does with the fact that corporations never cared. If they could have saved a single cent by moving to "tellers"/ATMS that were mechanical in nature, 51 years ago when he first opened his account, they would have. The corporations were never "loyal".
We use status to pay people where we lack sufficient resources to do so. See also: soldiers, doctors. We lack innovation and technology progress, so paying founders in status where we are unable to pay to address the market failure makes sense.
This kind of idea is actually a great use case vor virtual currencies and a market, because the given AND received value can come from a human. I once wanted to build something similar for project feedback only, but the core idea is the same.

A potential problem I see with simple question/answer systems like this is, are questions about truth. Paying to get more answers only forms a majority opinion, not truth. Collaboratively working on an argument graph could be useful in this situation.

Did you do anything to prevent sybil attacks in your voting system?

The fact that the streamer might gain in publicity doesn't justify these ridiculous bans, come on. Are we now saying Twitch is doing them a _favour_?
Please don't do this. Habituating wildlife to humans is not doing them any favors, it usually leads to their early demise. First make sure they are truly abandoned, most of the time mom is nearby. Second, if mom is truly not around, take the animal to a credentialed wildlife rehabber as soon as you can.
It's good to have the option, but ideally if I buy a really nice new computer, I'd like to actually be taking advantage of that hardware I paid for!

I used to work at a facility that had one of the first 16-bit laser recorders. It was very finicky about things like humidity levels and what not. Working for this company I learned that when films are digitally remastered they are often saved back out to film masters; except not color negatives. They instead are separated into RGB* channels with each channel being recorded back to its own B&W negative. When restored from negatives, they have to scan each bit of film to be recombined for a final image. This in itself poses new issues as film behaves differently when stored for long periods of time and can actually shrink. Times 3. So the recombining of the final image can be a bit "tricky".

*I don't know if it was actually RGB or a YUV type of format. I never asked. I was just told separate color channels, and assumed RGB on my own.
