> ...when in fact they did it average and average is crappy for any and all architectures.

I feel like this is probably more true than many of the people around would like to admit.

Very much like how there are plenty of proponents of DRY and SOLID but plenty of bad systems still get built regardless, even when trying to follow any number of principles along the way.

So you'd have to decouple what an architecture is supposed to (realistically) be, from any company-specific interpretation of that, which may not actually be doable. It's not so much the "No true Scotsman" fallacy (which comes to mind), but rather the fact that things almost always differ in theory in practice.

As an unrelated example, it would also be really useful to generate implementations from code models, like OpenAPI spec --> usable API client in language/framework X, or OpenAPI spec --> usable service stubs for the server in language/framework X, but in practice it never works out and most model driven approaches remain on paper.

Similarly, there are lots of ways to screw up your application architecture regardless of the specifics. Talking about which type is easier to screw up and in what ways, however would be a useful conversation to have!

The list of voting members need to be public.

As it stands the self-selecting voting members make the FSF a non-democratic organization. Being non-democratic is in itself isn't necessarily an issue, but the FSF has demonstrated a complete inability to course correct during & after the revelations of Stallmans misconduct.

>we’re now releasing predicted structures for nearly all catalogued proteins known to science

is the result that researchers will now much more quickly 'manually' validate or invalidate the predicted structures for proteins they are working with? i understand it is traditionally a long and complex process, but i imagine it is expedited by having a predicted structure to test as the baseline?
I don't think Stripe holding money is the problem here. The problem to me seems that there is no support to be reached at Stripe to dispute their decision or get a human to answer. I agree that OP's business doesn't seem that healthy if $3000 are such a big problem, however that doesn't make Stripe's non-existing support any better.
Do you ever inexplicably encounter the number 255 (or 256)?
Why do you assume they're holding the money for legimitate reasons? I count as much more likely they're just fucking up and have no idea or don't care enough.

Plenty of example of this, event amongst top tech companies: see the clusterfuck that is youtube copyright claims for instance.

Every time there are automated flaggings, there are fuckups. We can accept it if there's an efficient way to challenge, but that's not happening. Stripe/Google doesn't care and/or it would hurt the bottom line too much.

Also if credit cards company are much better at this, I don't see why Stripe gets a free pass for sucking.
Pre-commit is optional, you can just not install them into .git/ ... Although I'd indeed prefer just before push, or just make display warnings

One thing that's really annoying these days are CI/CD that can't be replicated locally, generating quite annoying delays in the development. Jenkins seems particularly problematic in this regard: the steps get encoded in some cryptic pet Jenkins server, and then you have to wait minutes until an agent picks it up and reaches the step you actually care about. Other tools are a little quicker, but still...

So, I think at the very least pre-commit hooks help with this "over-reliance" on the CI/CD server. It's so much better DX when you can run parts of the pipeline instantaneously.
No, rust is another slow language to compile. But there are faster ones such as C and zig. You can reduce C++ compilation times by following certain strict coding conventions, but it only gets you so far.
VR hardware is barely entering the stage where it's affordable, yet becoming more useful for mainstream tasks. It's far from being a bubble, let alone from bursting.
Zuckerberg: Meta&Apple in 'deep, philosophical' competition to build metaverse
The genome, all of our DNA combined, is just a bunch of 1D strings like "cgtattctgcttgta". Those strings encode proteins, which fold up into a 3D shape once created. This 3D shape is what determines what the protein actually does inside the cell. Without understanding protein folding we don't understand what the DNA actually does.
Capital requirements in this context are the funds required to reach profit. If both companies are the same except for profit margins, the 90% margin company would reach profits sooner that the 50% margin company. In my opinion, odds they would have the same capital requirements to me sounds like magical thinking.

That said, even if the 50% margin reaches 5 billion in revenue, in theory cash flow might be more that the one billion in revenue company over a long period, but VC invest to flip investments, not for cash flow.
Am I the only person who wonders how someone could sleep so deeply that they don't notice the train never moved? I'm guessing he was on ambien or something?

It's called placing a reserve on the account and it is something any payment processor will do to a merchant account.
So he started 5-6 years ago, after Uber was already caught doing shady shit? Does not compute.

I don't think Uber was ever particularly transparent, whereas I believe the other poster was implying that all Stripe employees can see revenue, profit margin, etc. plainly, which seems very uncommon for a non-public corp.

And what would that misconduct be exactly? Sending an email? My eyes are rolling past the back of my head.
FWIW I agree. Old UI/UX wasn't perfect but it beats deserts of blank space and hamburger menu hellscapes.
As a simple example, one measure used to compare a predicted structure against a reference is the RMSD (root mean square deviation).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-mean-square_deviation_o...

The lower the RMSD between two structures, the better (up to some limit).
I’ve spent quite a lot of time in India (mainly Hyderabad and Kolkata), and can report that India is much more colourful than Australia. Very garishly so, to my eyes. In clothing, building paint, night-time building lighting (… I found myself sometimes wishing coloured LEDs hadn’t been invented), just about everything imaginable. Weddings can be almost painful in the saturation of colour. But Indian cities are also extremely dusty, so that you only see the full extent of some of the colours in monsoon time when the rain washes it all away—especially the vibrant greens of foliage, which in other seasons often appear completely grey or slightly brown.

(Aside: I live in Victoria, down in the south east of Australia, and foliage colours are generally fairly muted. I’ve been in Darwin once, up in the northern tropical parts of Australia, and found it really weird to see eucalypts and such that clearly felt Australian to my eyes, but in the vibrant tropical greens that I associated (from experience) with Sri Lanka and parts of India.)
AlphaFold is a phenomenal tool that demonstrates how AI can already outclass humans for certain tasks. It is a prime example of a problem space where conventional approaches are simply inferior, and that AI is not just a fancy name but can be extraordinarily powerful.
Welcome to the Stripe support forum! A founder will be here momentarily.
Same here. Lots of money wasted on Windows licenses.
What is this, really?

Is this meant to defend Stripe?

What a weird way of looking at things.
Its important to be reminded regularly that there are perfectly legal ways for people with lots of money to endlessly bully people that annoy them. These people/companies have lawyers on retainer that they're already paying so its essentially free for them to file bogus suits and motions to cause havoc in your life. What are you going to do? Sue them back? Thats the world they live in, and its a world that as a small time person or corporation you can not win in (long term).

Look at Gawker and Peter Thiel--no matter how you feel personally about what they did, what they published about him was absolutely legal. As a background task his lawyers destroyed that company by keeping them tied up in court cases and funding any one with an axe to grind against them until they were gone.
We in the US definitely live in a soft totalitarian system. Like totalitarianism but with heated leather seats if you can afford them.
I find it useful for reading out stuff on a page as well despite not having vision impairments, if you have a long form article you can just set it off and it will read it out to you.
For those who find the existence of such analytic functions intuitively "wrong", note that it is essential to this example that though the second derivative is positive, it is positive and decreasing towards 0. If the second derivative is bounded from below by some positive value, then eventually the first derivative will become positive and it will diverge towards positive infinity and thus the function itself will diverge towards positive infinity.

More precisely suppose that f is twice continuously differentiable and f'(x) < 0 and f''(x) ≥ 0 for all x greater than some K (for example K=0 in the examples given) then λ( (f'')^-1((a, ∞)) ∩ (K, ∞) ) < ∞ for all a > 0 where λ is the Lebesque measure.

When I sleep at night, I never wake up due to my house staying in place. Why would it be different on a train?
This is now on the front page of Reddit. Someone at Stripe PR is going to have a bad morning.
It has to be linearized because hearing, and time itself, are one-dimensional.

Screen readers can represent nesting of content, going into one element and coming back out, Apple's VoiceOver in particular uses this concept. It may be conceptually helpful in some instances or to some people but often it just makes things more cumbersome to navigate.

US Gross Domestic Product, Second Quarter 2022 (Advance Estimate)
I've dealt with Stripe support and it's been... fine? Good even? I can only assume that if they've gone radio silent there's a reason. I'm not convinced Stripe is acting in bad faith, as shitty as this is. (Unlike, say, PayPal, who is notorious for shit like this).

At least one instance I'm aware of has to do with anti-money laundering regulations, where it can be disallowed to communicate regarding a pending investigation, but obviously I can't speak to if that's happening here.
Seems like everyone have completely forgotten everything else a trucker does except driving the damn truck on the highway. They assist with loading and unloading the goods, make sure the goods are adequately stacked and strapped and obeying laws and regulations (at least in my country truckers must have a bunch of certificates to be allowed to transport dangerous goods), handle paper work (this is probably the easiest problem to solve) and probably a lot of other stuff I know nothing about. In addition to automating the driving, you must offload these activities to warehouse workers and others who ship/receive goods.

The autonomous truck also have to be able to handle all kinds of tight and busy city streets, badly thought out warehouse terminals and a million other things that is an annoyance for a trucker but a huge problem to automate.
They'll soon be here saying sorry, CEO will be in touch with you and will sort this out immediately.
Could possibly be because most households nowadays have to be dual-income, and so there's not a dedicated homemaker with the motivation to do that.
Once you're asleep you're unlikely to be aware the train has moved or stopped. I got the sleeper to Exeter sometimes (not sure it still exists, this is over a decade ago and it wasn't advertised even then). If I fell asleep at paddington I wouldn't wake up when we (didn't) move. Similarly, it got to exeter around 5am but didn't leave until 7ish, you could select when they woke you up: on arrival or 30min before departure. I never woke thinking "we've not moving when we should be"
Oooooh, the name sounded familiar but I didn't know why, as it's been some years since I used Windows regularly. Nice :)
I’m not sure that R+D needs to be at the operator versus manufacturer level. For instance, manufacturers not operators bear the R+D cost of better diesel engines.

You can retain (relatively) small fleets if the manufacturer is amortizing the cost of technology across vehicles sold.
I opened up the article mildly curious about which internet personality was about to make the outlandish claim to the biggest victim crown for internet clicks.

I'm heartbroken it was Steven Danziger, they guy that took on big oil, gave them a black eye, and went to (house) jail for it.

Even though his case is one I've followed for years, it even escaped my own memory.

Also, someone mentioned Snowden and Arrange. for comparison. Although they can be thought as same, remember these two, unlike Danziger, took on the govt, the intelligence apparatus, and its guns. They should have known full well that when you play high stakes poker you are risking a ton.

Danziger OTOH, was taking on a private corporation. His case is big, but no too different in scope than say Erin Brokovich's case against PG&E & Hinkley(2), or Jan Schlittchmanns case vs WR Grace and Beatrice Foods(1). The plaintiff counsels won in both cases, without consequences to their life or careers.

Arrange and Snowden were morally righteous however they probably knew the size of the sacrifice they were about to make and made the decision to proceed anyway. I doubt Danziger had any idea that what he was getting into would cost him his career.

If we knew:

(a) the structure of every protein (what DeepMind is doing here)

(b) how different protein structures interact (i.e. protein complexes - DeepMind is working on this but not there yet)

Then we could use those two building blocks to design new proteins (drugs) that do what we want. If we solve those two problems with very high accuracy, we can also reduce the time it takes to go from starting a drug discovery programme to approved medicine.

Obtaining all protein structures and determining how they interact is a key step towards making biology more predictable. Previously, solving the structure of a protein was very time consuming. As a result, we didn’t know the structure for a majority of proteins. Now that it’s much faster, downstream research can move faster.

Caveat: we should remember that these are all computational predictions. AlphaFold’s predictions can be wrong and protein structures will still need to be validated. Having said that, lots of validation has already occurred and confidence in the predictions grows with every new iteration of AlphaFold.

So true! I loved Unity in the late 2010s. Unfortunately, now where it is no more maintained and GNOME3 does not really provide the same features, I switched to KDE. What I miss most is the space efficiency and the global menu bar / searchable HUD. I miss so much time digging in menus instead of just typing and hitting enter.

It's listed as i386, but current Debian actually requires a more recent instruction set:

What relevance does any of that have when OP has supporting documents for this specific transaction, which is the only transaction Stripe has issue with and the only issue that OP is trying to resolve?
That does not alleviate the problem with difficulty having your editor to use the correct version and settings for the linters and formatters. This approach also does not address the issue of having 2 separate sets of configuration when you are trying address problem number 1 above.
The judges need to be jailed. There was a time when tarring/feathering was an acceptable practice too.
Strange!? Any chance you could send me request headers you are receiving?
Flagging a larger than normal transaction is fine. Placing a 120 day hold is very much NOT fine. This should be resolvable within 24-48 hours after the business provides the requisite documentation showing the transaction to be legitimate. The root cause is a completely automated process devoid of any capability for human review like we see with so many online platforms these days.
Yeah, that's like saying YouTube's recommended videos are ads. Sure, they promote stuff, but they're a completely different category to the drivel they run before videos, where I have to watch commercials for products I'd never use. One is promoting the platform's content, one is going "Get yourself to Aldi and buy a pipe cleaner! Now!"
"Verify" is almost correct. The crystallography data is taken to be "ground truth" and the predicted protein structure from AlphaFold is taken to be a good guess starting point. Then other software can produce a model that is a best fit to the ground truth data starting from the good guess. So even if the guess is wrong in detail it's still useful to reduce the search space.
Anyone knows good open source E2EE encryption communication libraries (text, voice + video with WebRTC support), preferably in Go or Rust.
I remember gnome 3 being a lot more touchscreen friendly.

One big turnoff was that it wasn't compatible with my favorite gnome 2 theme.

In the end, I switched to XFCE.
A few reasons I can think of that may explain why:

* Older photos had more saturation

* Colour photography and screens were new and a novelty, so
it was pushed more to showcase their tech's capabilities

* Muted or monochrome colours by companies became the norm and associated with class (e.g., old rainbow apple logo vs newer monochrome logos), too much colour may be seen as kitschy

* Perhaps tied to the postmodern era as a differentiator, bright vibrant colours on products are seen as retro and/or cheap

* Also maybe tied to capitalism, vehicles, houses etc. with safe colours are better when it comes time to sell. I believe mass production would also result in more neutral colours

* With the ubiquity of cameras, more images of banal environments exist now
This reads like something created by an AI. And the mere fact that I can't be sure if it is or not now is testament to the statement this is making
Take them to attribution?
He's not saying it's difficult to get 100% coverage. He's saying that 100% is a bit suss because you probably wouldn't achieve 100% coverage unless that is your goal (even if Python does make it easy) and that's the wrong goal.

To give you my personal opinion, yellow clashes with the elegant and sleek style of the brand Mercedes is trying to present. When I see a yellow car, I either think 'cheap run down taxi' or 'high end sports car', it doesn't fit with the mid range semi-luxury vehicles aesthetically. I guess it's because what we're culturally accustomed to.
I feel this. Today many people got this message from Apple (apparently wrongly): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32260733 which would've resulted in Apple holding a lot of money from me which is business critical.

For payment processing, something like this without a means to appeal quickly shouldn't be allowed. It endangers companies and the livelihood of many people.

I believe, but cannot prove, that dark chocolate is a cough suppressant. Dark meaning bittersweet, 70%+ chocolate.

I had whooping cough (as an adult). Theo Chocolate seemed to help take the edge off. Probably just placebo or self-soothing or whatever. But ever since, dark chocolate is part of my remedy regiment whenever I have a respiratory issue.

Per this paper, if I'm onto something, maybe the flavanols also relax other muscles, bronchia, or whatever, too.
