Why do you assume you would have gotten authorized for a hip replacement at all? Many elective qualify of life surgeries aren’t covered in European health care systems.

Look, there is no free lunch. The UK NHS has strict standards of “cost effectiveness” that would shock Americans: https://www.nice.org.uk/media/default/guidance/lgb10-briefin.... 20-30,000 pounds per quality adjusted life year. American end of life care can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for a year or two of extra life and American insurance companies will pay it without blinking. A friend of the family was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given six months to live. She received treatment costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, and lived almost two years. In European systems she would have been sent into hospice.
Why try to convince people to do the right thing when you can manipulate them into doing it.

How exactly? People can't focus on their work on engine design, or combustion simulation, or reentry trajectory because Musk is involved in some Twitter fights? Or maybe because Musk fails to be a role model? Are they kids, or grownups?

(I'm CTO of Mercury)

To clarify, when rawtxapp said "Wire transfers cost 20$ each", they probably mean wiring _to_ Mercury from their bank costs $20. Mercury doesn't charge for sending wires.

The reason they're mentioning the 3rd party bank fees is they'd prefer to use ACH pull to have Mercury take the money directly from their existing bank account (similar to how your gym or electric company might do). We do offer this, but only if you use a service called Plaid to link your third party bank account.

This involves typing your bank's username/password/2FA into a Plaid iframe on our website, which confirms it with the third party bank. If you've used Venmo, that's using Plaid under the hood to link your bank account.

Ok, all that said, my question for rawtxapp: are you mostly asking for us to verify 3rd party bank accounts via microdeposit instead? I agree it's less privacy invasive, but, definitely pretty slow and 1990s like you said about checks. I'm not sure of the security either.

I'm somewhat hoping it's less of an issue as more banks move to doing OAuth in Plaid, instead of sharing passwords. Capital One, Wells Fargo, and Chase do this now (we should really move to doing it too).
> Arbitrary bigint math - how do you do Exp/Sqrt with arbitrary sized ints? (I'm familiar with two crypto libs that do this, and MPIs & branches confuse me).

I solve that problem by using Common Lisp. Because arbitrary bigints are built-in, that's a big chunk of the problem you don't need to worry about. You still need to write a Montgomery multiplier (because otherwise you'd fill available RAM or the divisions would slow everything to a crawl) but that's straightforward. Common Lisp makes exploring crypto algorithms easy.
Charitably for Brex, if I am to guess the decision was not taken lightly, it possible the company cannot raise as much as it hoped, is running out of runway and has to cut costs and this is how its doing it - by downsizing, possibly layoffs in post-Aug

I haven't used it, but I really like their website. Describes the tool succinctly and clearly with a few key features highlighted and nothing else.
AKA they lose money on smaller customers to customer support requests and most likely wire transfer fees since they offer wire tranfers for free. They almost definitely lost money on my LLC I bet they only made $5 in interest after a year and probably spent $100s investigating my various customer support requests. Plus I made several thousand off of their rewards program. So yeah, bummer, but it makes sense. It's too bad I'd be willing to pay like $100/month to keep my account going.
Does any of those traditional banks support remotely opening accounts for U.S. companies with non-U.S. owners (so without an SSN, only with EIN)?
memory of that stuff is just never ever going to die, is it?

yet the same people use google, and facebook, and AWS, like those companies sit upon moral high ground. they do not.

Linux succeeded and defeated Microsoft in every single way that matters to open source people, and the response is to continue to hate Microsoft for their loss? I do not understand.

Just admit your motivation for saying things like this: you hate Microsoft because Slashdot told you to, or tells you to, and you want to let people know about that, unprompted. Nothing about Microsoft's behavior in the 1990s has any bearing on what GitHub does today.
Okay. We don’t have a credit card right now, only debit.

For small businesses doing high reward credit cards is not a sustainable business. Which is why Brex is shutting them down.

what do you want for "discoverability"? some random popup when taking a screen shot is the furthest thing from your mind? things like this are simple to find. just open the list of keyboard shortcuts or search in help for what you want to do.
i like these simple features because the functionality is there when i need it, it isn't thrown in my face when i dont, it has enough configurability to make it fit my workflow, and i dont need to install additional software to do what i want.
Just took a quick look and couldn't find any way to do it. That would be a great feature actually.
Of course it isn’t. But this conversation is about the legal risk to Google, so that’s the only part I’m going to concern myself with.
No one is forced to be a Catholic.

LGBTQ and Homosexuals are welcome to leave at any time. Those who join Catholicism, clearly understand the Catechesis (as they have to go through RCIA) and if they conclude that they don't fit, they can go to another denomination.

I went through RCIA and we had people who literally decided to leave the night before Easter Vigil and no one harassed or bothered them.

You are welcome to disagree with the Church but to compare Catholicism with a Cult is disingenuous.

A lot of people of all races (and in both major US parties) either don’t think of race as a defining factor of their political identity or seek a future where they no longer need to.

So they don’t concern themselves with “replacement” or with the loss of a majority measured on that axis.

On it’s face, the concern is a peculiar one to people who think it’s important that their race maintains a majority, which is a racist concern by definition.
> That's not "antitrust reform". It's so narrowly drawn

Almost by definition, anti-trust law is only going to narrowly effect a few companies.

If a company isn't huge already, then the whole motivation for applying anti-trust law goes away.

The whole point of anti-trust law is to narrowly target only a few of the very worst offenders in a market.

I wonder what the cost benefit on that little popup window for preview is after the screenshot. Too often I find myself being annoyed because it went away before I was able to click on it and as a result I just take another screenshot to get the window to pop up again. Way less often do I find myself annoyed because it stuck around too long.
There's two schools of thought regarding high DPI displays, the Apple way, and the Windows way.

The Apple way tries to make the DPI change transparent to the application, resizing behind the hood when necessary, and only using integer scales, requiring increased-size assets that are used on-demand.

Windows allows the program to opt into handling the high DPI by itself, obviously producing precise behavior in that case. For compatibility, it will either scale smaller windows up framebuffer-wise, or increase the font size, using the limited resolution independence it has had from the beginning.

In the end, Windows' behavior turned out to be less error-prone. For a little while it seemed like it would be a disaster, pushing the onus onto the developers, but it turned out fine in the end. Personally, I didn't think just making a clean separation like that was the right idea, but I was proven wrong.

Wayland uses the MacOS approach. It allows the program to provide increased resolution buffers at integral scales. This forces fractional scales into framebuffer scaling. The application can't output at a pixel-precise level.

In X11, both of the popular toolkits, Gtk and Qt, simply take the DPI provided and draw widgets bigger, kind of like Windows. It isn't perfect. For example, Gtk only really "supports" integral scales, but themes have been doing dynamic resizing forever, so tweaking the DPI can get perfect fractional sizing aside from some line widths. Older theme engines on Qt might also have a few glitches. But I'm convinced this is definitely the way to go. You're not hiding the fractional DPI from the program. It can be as sharp as it wants.

1) Cars continue to get bigger in the US. Sigh.

Pedestrian accidents in the US are mostly low speed but now you take a full, flat hit rather than crumpling over the hood.

And as much as I hate the profiteers, maybe $5/gal gas will finally get some people to pay fscking attention and buy a smaller car.

2) Don't pedestrian accidents almost always bear some fault on the vehicle driver in the EU?

That would tend to create a much different set of incentives than in the US where "accidents" are pretty much never considered the fault of the driver unless the driver is completely wasted.

I am an Eagle Scout, and proud of that fact. That means that I am affiliated with- and proud of my experience with- an organization that molests children[1]. To my knowledge it never happened in my troop, but it definitely happened, a lot, in the nationwide organization.

I was baptized a Roman Catholic, but left the church long before the Spotlight investigations came out, though that was hardly the first time that the organizations complicity with sexual abuse got attention. The largest Protestant denomination in the country, the Southern Baptist Convention, just released a massive report about how they hid and enabled sexual abuse of minors (and grown-ups) for decades[2].

What about the entire Canadian government turning a blind eye to sexual abuse of First Nations children for over a century at the Indian Residential Schools that they paid for[3]?

If you answer that question honestly, I would hazard a guess most people have affiliations with an organization that turned a blind eye to abusive behavior, because that is, unfortunately, incredibly common.

> Clock skew across different sensors: Sensors might be located across different datacenters, computers, and networks, so their clocks might not be synchronized to the millisecond.

We have to assume that although the sensors time are not synchronized to the milliseconds, but their time are still accurate to a certain degree (say ~1 seconds). Then factoring in the time for data to travel from sensors to the collector, if you wait for 5 secs, most events would have arrived and get stored in database. Events that arrive after that watermark would probably be safe to discard or become irrelevant. Waiting also solve the out-of-order problem, since you can sort the events again.

> Implementation4 cons: Producers and consumers must have synchronized clocks (up to a certain resolution)

So let's say the consumer's clock is slower than the producer's by 5 seconds, i.e when the producer thinks the time is 10, the consumer thinks the time is only 5. In this case, even if the producer has already written `insert_time = 10`, consumer will only read up to `insert_time = 5` and there's an extra 5 seconds worth of lag on top the of wait introduce by the algorithm.
> We're doing all we can, and working with other financial service providers to make this transition as smooth as possible.

The biggest thing for us would be if you could support Plaid's Identity product by returning names and emails when someone links a Brex account with Plaid.

When someone links an account using Plaid, having this data available means we can compare that to the names/emails we have on file and have verified. If it's a match, this makes it _dramatically_ less likely someone is trying to commit ACH fraud against a Brex customer.

This makes it safer for us to offer higher ACH pull limits to that customer. Even for customers who never switch away from Brex, this would significantly increase protection from ACH fraud.

Yes. The thresholds are insanely high - like 1 in 8 people use it. Literally. 50 million US MAU or 1 billion worldwide (a smaller threshold of 100k business customers). And a market cap of 550 billion dollars (which automatically adjusts with inflation).
You'll want to open a business bank account with them if you have an EIN. You might need trust or estate services depending upon the nature of your financial service needs.
Those people are probably not having much of a problem. The complainants are likely elsewhere in the company.
Yeah, we did macro builds in the development environment too, but I also had access to doing some nifty and complex macro and pre-compiled graphics code by making use of BBC BASIC to do the manipulations. Like if you were doing soft sprites, pre-compiled functions to auto-shift the sprites on the X axis without having to do any kind of ROL/ROR and handling carry bits. One of my colleagues wrote really nice set of functions where you could specify that "this sprite should have eight shifts created during setup, go create the necessary loops, toot-sweet!" or "this fast moving bullet sprite can only appear on four pixel boundaries, only needs two shifts, and can be pre-compiled at build time."

There were other functions that we all contributed to for doing horizontal and vertical flips and arbitrary rotations and a ton of stuff for collision detection boxes and bind points for weapon pickups and emission points for bullets being launched, muzzle flash, or shell casings ejected from the weapon. Tons of what was effectively dynamic macro code where you just set up a table of stuff you wanted included, and some data about how certain sprites should be handled.

My development environment was a BBC Micro Model B with a macro assembler and double-sided/double-density dual 400KB floppy drives attached - 800KB of storage, which let me assemble the code from multiple pieces. Later I had a 20MB HDD. The BBC Micro could squirt the code over to the C64 via the Beeb's 1MHz Tube IO bus straight in to the C64's cartridge port. Instant load on the C64 effectively. Also had the same setup for the ZX Spectrum, though when I worked at a different company, we used RML 380Z machines IIRC, and everything ran over a shared network.
Some (or all) may have branches in your country. But they may not be free but they can probably get it setup.

Doesn't this mean it's less of a problem? Like, isn't that good?
Very compact public keys and private keys, reasonably fast operations, less reliance on very good random number generation/bad keypair rejection than RSA, especially for signing where you can have deterministic signatures. I'm not sure constant time implementation is "easier" (probably don't try it still), but it's still somewhat nicer than the bignum and blinding stuff needed for RSA.
That's totally understandable, for the small business segment.

I was just saying that for a VC-backed tech startup, the lack of rewards is a huge turn-off, compared to some of the other options for spending available to us.
Regardless, most non-White races vote almost exclusively democrat. Also if you check the data it's only really White people who ignore race (although since it's been shoved in our face we're starting to pay more attention.)

Also, being effectively kicked out of your country (yes, look at housing) is pretty upsetting even if the ugly political divide didn't come with it. Even though we're only barely a majority now the hostility towards us has gotten very extreme. Do you think things will be better for us as a minority? I don't see a single indication they will.
> I teach antitrust to grads and undergrads.

If you teach economics class on these subjects, then you must be familiar with the terms "horizontal integration" and "vertical integration".

Lets say 1 company has "horizontally integrated" the entire market along that horizonal. What would you call that?

Now do the same thing for "vertical integration".

Once you have thought about both of these questions, you will know why people are using the term "vertical monopoly".
