This is not how it works in Europe or in the US. The chargeback occurs through the payment processor, and both the merchant and the bank issuing cards with Visa logos are customers of Visa using their payment network to manage charges. When your bank issues the chargeback on your behalf, they are doing so through Visa's systems.
I had some friends in college with those ideas too. I always got the feeling that despite their ideas stated that they should apply to everyone, they really just meant them and what they wanted.
I realize it's sarcasm, but my Android has the ability to run whatever I want on it and I just use it for a handful of things that Google won't allow. That's all I need.

It's not a free-for-all or a virus-laden hellscape. It's just freedom.
Because not all roles can be exchanged. Some of it is bad delegation, some of it is just the kids insisting that a certain parent do it, and sometimes it's just biology (breastfeeding).

Also something along the lines of dad cooking pizza, pasta, and oats, while mom cooks the real food. Generally, they want the real food every day.
It's not exactly common in the US, but enough people have them that it isn't surprising to see.
At a previous company all of the employees (there weren't many left) demanded options be repriced. They were. Unfortunately, they still were worthless when the company was "acquired" in a fire sale.
Visa worded this announcement very carefully to give you the impression it's a reasonable change. It's only reasonable for the predatory merchant operators.

Consider the phrasing "first party" instead of "cardholder", to make it less obvious who they're referring to.
So the OS updates each year are free labour? The constant research as well? Okay…

How about the fact that you knew about the restrictions before you bought the product?

I feel you are in the wrong here. You knew the contract conditions and still signed it but because you don’t like it you want to change it. Well I like it so why is your view stronger than mine? Keep in mind you do have the option of Android and with this law you are taking away my right to choose a completely closed garden.

C-h r documents how to use Emacs and has very little about Emacs Lisp in it, which is the purview of (info "(elisp)").
Now I don't understand your comment, sorry :-)
Can someone please ELI5 flakes to me? Specifically:

* What they add from vanilla Nix.

* What they take away.

* How they work.

* Why channels are unnecessary with flakes (once they're complete) as TFA implies.

* How much they replace home-manager.

* Why they add even more reproducibility.

* Why else I should care about them.

Other questions that might help me: Are they just adding the equivalent of lockfiles to vanilla Nix? If so, why is that such a hard transition? My initial impression on reading about Nix, and I've read a lot, is that Nix already had lockfiles.

Context: not a Nix user, but I've read the Nix thesis, the NixOS thesis, a lot of the Tweag blog posts about flakes, a lot of the xeiaso.net posts about flakes, and a lot of the other posts listed in the Reddit link of a child of a sibling comment. Despite all of that reading, I don't get them. I have a hard time following regular Nix as it is, and if I start using Nix, I want to start with flakes.
I’m sympathetic to the privacy argument. But I’m suspicious.

Particularly after reading the memos which came out in the Epic lawsuit, I can’t tell how much all of this really is about privacy. Or how much privacy is just cover to take a cut of the profits of Netflix, Amazon and visa by controlling access to our phones.

The privacy argument probably has some truth, but it seems suspiciously self serving for Apple.

I think there’s plenty of ways apple could preserve my privacy without taking such extreme control of my device. A simple answer would be to give banks direct access to the NFC chips on the condition of user privacy. And cut them off if they violate that policy rule.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that apple’s chosen solution just happens to be the one which maximises their profit.
> And what on earth does Chicago have to do with San Francisco or New York?

This was such a laughable comparison because BOTH of these cities have high property taxes compared with more affordable cities in other states.
Getting a warrant that is accessible for inspection by the public is not big-brother-esque.

I see obtaining a warrant to place two objects (a face and a biometric security device) in proximity as more compatible with civil liberties than taking mugshots or fingerprints upon a suspect’s booking.

The cost of a security should not exceed the value of the information you are protecting combined with the fallout of its disclosure. Face recognition is cheap, but my data are also worthless and every single utterance or act I’ve stored digitally would only generate boredom if disclosed. So it is fine to use faceid to protect my digital assets.

Then again, I don’t trade in child pornography.
It is called a citizen's dividend and it even rewards people who use less land than the average.
Firstly, by not calling it "UX".
Then why not do it properly? Only levy extra taxes if the value of any building constructed on the property exceeds a certain threshold...
No. Income tax you only pay the percentage of the bracket you’re in. So (made up numbers here) if you earn 100k and the bracket changes every 40k then the first 40k will be taxed at the first bracket. The second 40k at the second bracket, and the remaining 20k at the third bracket. This means there’s no incentive to game income tax because if you narrowly slide into the next bracket then you only pay the higher tax rate for that margin you’ve gone over.

Whereas the capital gains and stamp duty go from (again made up numbers) 0% on 15k to 15% on anything above 15k. So if you had 15k you get taxed nothing. But if you get 15,001 then you pay 15% on ~15k (just by gaining an extra £1) rather than 15% on £1 (like how income tax works). Thus that extra £1 actually ends up costing you _a lot_ more in tax than it’s face value. And thus why people game such taxes to slide under the threshold in ways that doesn’t make sense with income tax.
My point is that Apple products work (almost) perfectly with other Apple products. Apple don't make cars (yet); the market there that they probably care about is probably handled by CarPlay.
This mechanism would just get gamified. Some oligarch is gonna claim the property is worth nothing, and use their expensive legal team to prevent any attempts to purchase the property.

It'll also allow the government to bully anyone they want by evicting them, even if the price were fair. Local reporter digs up dirt on city council? Well, the city council just reviewed property tax claims, and decided that the reporter's house is "undervalued".
The question was why, and fixed income is the rationale. How effective it is or what you or I or the voters think is fair, is incidental.
How is “a hefty tax on a good reduces it’s value” a controversial claim requiring substantial evidence?

There’s an ocean between fraudulent chargebacks eg canceling or refunding your delivery food after it was delivered and purchases in predatory mobile games that were made without an adult in the loop.
My guess is that this probably indicates that the primary obstacle to construction currently isn't developer capital. It could be that housing construction is still profitable, as there's comparatively less political resistance and less of the budget has to go to legal fees and bribes.

In the interest of being intellectually honest though, that's probably not the full story. It's worth pointing out that Chicago's population peaked in the 50's and that property taxes were probably lower back then.

Also worth pointing out that there's a lot of directions for sprawl to help meet housing demand. I actually grew up in Indiana and my dad worked in Chicago. We lived in Indiana because the property tax was significantly lower even though housing prices were comparable.
It also use by customers to get what they want.

Just yesterday, a guest called and asked to return 3rd night stay because it was more than the 2nd night room rate. Guest booked the room online and had a confirmation email with a daily rate, signed a physical registration card that shows daily rate during check in but insisted that we are overcharging him. He thretened us with a chargeback.

I returned the money because fighting chargeback is a losing battle for us.

They booked 8 rooms as a group, and I basically told him, that they are not welcome here next year and he should explained that to his group why we won't let them stay. Also told him, I am going to call everyone in his group and tell them not to book at our location.

---

A couple weeks ago, bank called and wanted to verify the charge. Bank wanted to know if the charge was valid. I told them it was charged through chip reader, and I have a video of the guest using the card. She is like, thats all I need. I m going to deny the chargeback.

A lot of guest book room, and when they forget to cancel they use chargeback.
My dad loved being a fighter pilot and instructor. He had zero interest in being an airline pilot, however, as it was just "boring holes in the air". I suppose it's like being a race car driver compared to a bus driver.
> You also won't see this for senior management. As a VP/C-level, I've never had a potential employer put pressure on salary during a negotiation because of my location (though it's always been domestic). It's never even come up besides relocation discussions.

This is absolutely true and it's because executives usually have spent at least some amount of time doing "sales" type roles where they learn what value selling is. I always do value selling during my salary negotiations, and I too pretty much concern myself only with how much I bring to the table and what a fair cut of that for myself is. My location has absolutely nothing to do with that, and I've delivered a ton of value in my career from far more remote locations than most remote workers find themselves in.
Apparently, you can use the same scheme to get half your money back.

1. Commission some original background music on fiverr with copyright attribution.
2. Put it in a video. Post on youtube.
3. Copyright claim your own video from a different channel.
4. Show your copyright info if necessary.

This way, you still get a fraction of your own video revenue by playing both sides.
>elo distribution has nothing to do with how good players are

Nothing to do with it? That's a bit much.

It's not a perfect system, nor is it a trivial problem to solve, but elo definitely highly correlates to how good the player is.

How would you describe a condition like Bipolar Disorder where the brain swings in both directions? Depression is half of Bipolar, but is the brain broken in this case? What about the manifestation of psychotic features?

Based on my understanding of the condition, typical anti-depressants tend to be a contraindication for Bipolar Disorder (can induce mania), so in some regards it seems like the medications not only work for Bipolar, but they work a little too well.

If depression is not a disease, is Bipolar a disease -- half a disease? I am curious what you think. I do not suffer from BP, but I was misdiagnosed with it at one time (I never had psychotic episodes or anything), and doctors wanted to load me up with medications. Luckily, I refused, and I later found out that wasn't the issue, which caused me to lose a lot of faith in psychology/psychiatry. However, the whole process made me more empathic to those with the disorder.

Disappointed that there was no mention of Hieraaetus moorei/Pouakai/Haast's Eagle.

https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/sites/all/files/MA_I043829.jpg

Mainly because I love how the local Māori tribe had legends of Pouakai (Old glutton) who lived on a nearby mountain and would fly down to steal dogs and children, and based on that legend, a scientist climbed the mountain, and found sub-fossil nests of the eagle.
Go is the Japanese reading of his Chinese name. He was born Chinese, and his surname is 五, the number “5”, pronounced Wu in Chinese and Go in Japanese. Not the same “Go” as in igo (… but the same “go” in “gomaku”, the game of five-in-a-row)

His opponents who played him were sometimes mystified, though the reason often becomes clear many moves down the road. He was not afraid of starting complex fights, even ko fights, and the games often have huge swings in territory. He played in a way with great freedom. Opponents would play thinking they played a forcing move, only for Go Seigan to tenuki (play elsewhere on a board, often at strategically vital points). People have tried to replicate his style, but it is difficult to put into practice without Go Seigan’s reading skills.

I don't decide the average disposition of hundreds of millions of people by polling my social circle because I don't associate with a representative sample of the population by design I prefer to deal with more reasonable people.

A VERY substantial minority on the order of 1/4 of those who self identify as Republicans believe in the core tenets of the qanon conspiracy and most think the election was stolen.

> The idea that citizens of a rich nation has some natural right to live a fulfilling life just because the country happens to be rich, is hubris on the one hand, and also entitle on the other.

> People work to obtain the resources to live off. Some can produce _more_ (due to luck, or skill), and those are the ones who would be able to give up productive work and focus on "what's fulfilling" (aka, climb up the maslow pyramid).

But the biggest factor that enables them to produce more is the society around them. So the idea that the surplus should go to the individual rather than the society seems pretty entitled. If we're a rich country, we should be able to allocate those riches in a way that produces the most benefit.

> Some people don't get to do that climb - that's just reality of scarcity of resources today. Until the day the world becomes like star-trek, where people's basic needs a completely covered without any labour input from any humans (in which case, they spend time exploring the galaxy!), it cannot be that all people fulfill their higher needs in the maslow pyramid.

But the patterns for how we'll live when resources are virtually unlimited will be set today. And by most objective metrics, we're already far past the level of having enough for everyone to live on - even the very poorest have food and shelter (and most rich countries manage to provide them with healthcare and education). Conversely an increasing fraction of increasingly many jobs is, as I said, performative make-work rather than something that actually increases societal resource output; those jobs are a dead-weight loss.

We need to start being ok with people working less and retiring earlier. Otherwise our lives won't get better no matter how much more productive we get.
I switched back to Amex despite them offering worse rewards than my other card because of this.

Other card: I returned an item, with proof of delivery via UPS tracking. Never got a refund. Opened a dispute. Weeks later, the dispute was resolved in the merchant's favor despite the merchant providing nothing as evidence except the original receipt. I had to call the help line, deal with several uncomprehending service reps until one of them re-opened the dispute, asking me to resubmit the same documents I submitted the first time! Finally the dispute was resolved in my favor a month later.

Amex: I ordered some items from a local store to be delivered and the order was cancelled without my money being refunded. I received an email with a few questions, which I answered. A few weeks later the dispute was resolved in my favor.

I still need to carry another card because some merchants don't accept Amex, but I use the Amex for everything I possibly can. I'm giving up some cash back rewards to do so, and I'm also paying an annual fee, but that's a small price to pay for getting better service when something goes wrong.

I've always been interested in learning how to write an audio plugin. As someone who loves playing with digital music production, I think there is a lot of room for innovation here still by outsiders who might not be new to programming, but could be new to audio. The untrained ear can be a great tool to discover new and interesting sounds that could be the backdrop of the next generation of music.

Look into b4checkin for collecting payments. Should offer more proof of card owner’s consent in the transaction amount than most hotel brand companies’ half baked 30 year old PMS. The franchising company will not care because their cut is a portion of top line revenue, and chargeback loss is all on the hotel.

Are you seriously citing a fucking MIT degree in support of your case that microwave engineering is not complicated? You went to the most prestigious engineering school in the US, if not the world. I think you've lost sight of reality. You started off 2 miles above ground level and with the hindsight of 50 years of experience beyond that, sure it might seem like nothing to you.

> EEs just learn altium, read some data sheets, and poof, out pop the circuits.

Initially I just thought you were a troll, but with this kind of experience and education now I just know you're vicious liar. I'm sure every time you made a microstrip filter, feed ramp, or antenna you just poof from Altium after looking at a datasheet and it just worked. Not to mention a great deal of microwave engineering now happens in other tools like microwave office and ADS, I'm not sure Altium is even that great or useful for relatively common microwave stuff like designing say a microwave horn antenna.

Whether or not you think the change is reasonable, something that Visa and other CC processors need to allow is for a consumer to say "I do not want to allow future charges from this merchant", and then to notify the merchant that they will no longer be able to charge that card. This would at least protect against predatory recurring charges.
It's built on top of Unity, with a lot of additional rendering magic on top of it.

Crypto is an almost invisible blip on the scale of the financial system. Real estate, well, there's a shortage, so I think it will take a very long time to unwind.

Dot com -- yeh, it's a mix of unsustainable Doordash/Uber/Airbnb, SaaS-for-the-SaaS market (both of which are ponzis in the context of this thread) and "AI"/"Data Science" puffery. I still can't tell if the reckoning will be quick, or if the air will simply slowly leak out.
