And yet when my website's card payments were abruptly disabled because some opaque ML algorithm decided one of my transactions was fraudulent (in spite of the customer's own insistence that it was genuine), you wouldn't even respond to my emails.

Have you looked inside an iPhone? There’s barely any extra space at all for anything. Adding slots for people to take things apart, put in new commodity parts, and then seal the device up so it’s waterproof again are not zero-cost.

>like, literally treating people like cattle.

While I agree that it's bad to have your menstrual history uploaded to unknown parties without your knowledege, I fail to see how it's "literally" (or even metaphorically) similar to the treatment of cows on feedlots/milking operations in any meaningful sense.
This is completely wrong, the digital art industry is enormous and, mind you, pretty uniformly pissed off that this model has been trained off of their non public-domain work.
I have a friend who paints, google/ athanasart. His paintings are usually purchased before they are even finished, and sometimes even stolen. All of that technology, Dalle2, Disco diffusion, Stable Diffusion, is totally boring to him. He doesn't even care. He will not install this technology to his machine, or use it online, even if he is paid to do it. I love Craiyon, Dalle2, Stable Diffusion, but just beautiful images, are not art.

Who are you looking at switching to? I'm also starting to evaluate alternatives to Stripe.
>These folks have other options and both they and Apple know it.

You can have the most talented folks in the world but if your working culture is not productive, it means nothing.

Apple has decided that a return to office should increase productivity. It's likely that they've collected enough data to make this decision.

Also, I'm sure Apple has calculated that some people will leave but they're ok with that. They probably want people to quit anyways so they don't have to pay layoff costs.

Amazon Prime Video showing preroll ads is massively dumb on their part. I'm already paying you and already actively using your service. I specifically have a Prime subscription because it gives me access to a huge catalog of obscure sci-fi & horror films. Really awful stuff. I'm not interested in the latest content you paid some outrageous amount to acquire the licensing rights to.
Maybe, but you might be misunderstanding how that works as well as assumptions about crypto user stories.

there is a sanction on US persons from merely interacting with the deployed Tornado Cash contract, so there is a potential fine and prison sentence for just doing that. The license removes that liability.

the assets you receive out of Tornado Cash can be used the same as before. Exchanges may flag those funds arbitrarily, but other smart contracts and merchants do not. Many people stay directly on chain and pay for goods and services, and invest, without issue. Many people can derive real world benefits from things they purchase with their crypto, whether that thing is digital or physical. Its not about "cashing out", but if so, those people can still just deposit into some onchain lending service and cash out the borrowed funds, as exchanges themselves don't dig that deep and if that individual has the OFAC license it doesn't matter.

for those that choose to go to the treasury to get a license, they can always prove provenance of their tornado cash assets and prove they're clean, which is a key feature of tornado cash. so its not a good assumption that the treasury would target that person to make a deal, because there wouldn't be any liability at all, only the novelty of making the application for the license.

I use an Apple TV to watch all of the content on my TV – streaming services, Plex, apps for TV channels, etc. Since they added the match frame rate feature[0], the judder is eliminated entirely. It's a bit jarring as the screen flashes blank when transitioning from the home screen (60fps) to video content, as the TV's frame rate is adjusted, but it's worth it, IMO.

If something is risky, you should treat it as such. What I see people caught up in the startup/hustle/entrepreneur porn is the belief that they are different. No, statistics still show 95% of startups fail. You shouldn't be telling people to spend your youth on something that has 5% of less of success.
I hate shooting at midday and it isn't just because I want to crank my aperture open and blast the background into delicious bubbly soup: it's because I find it unflattering to have people squinting and glaring at the camera. Even if you have the option of putting the sun behind them you're often fighting harsh contrast where shadows cross their body. Of course, this is mainly a problem when shooting people but they're my favorite subject so... no sunny 16 for me if I can help it :)
That isn't correct since 2008. Two have:

This. You lose most of your nice bokeh by f/5.6. If all you want is a certain kind of landscape shot, cool, it won't hurt you, but there's a lot of artistic photographers who can't do with that.

Shooting at dusk or dawn isn't just about the exposure. It's about the quality of light. Colors will appear different in ways that you can't easily get by futzing around in Lightroom. It was considered one of the greatest developments of Impressionist artists in the 19th century that shadows in paintings began appearing blue. No, tweaking the shadow tint doesn't do it.

Also, the original author should know that they don't need to stop down. They can also use a neutral density filter. But that doesn't change your scene's shadows or quality of light.
> USA used to be mostly Northern European and christian (protestant)

You are completely ignoring here the huge role that anti-Catholic prejudice had in US history (and the rest of the Anglosphere as well). Indeed, the vast majority of historic anti-Irish sentiment was really anti-Catholic – "Irish" came to mean "Irish Catholic", and Irish Protestants in the US rebranded themselves as "Scots-Irish" (not only those Irish Protestants who had recent Scottish heritage through the Plantation of Ulster – Irish Protestants who lacked any recent Scottish heritage called themselves that too.)
Why would you expect something new from an article with TLDR in the name?
Anecdotally: I've been looking to get answers from Stripe, about fees-related questions that either make my proposed use viable or unviable, and I've received nothing but copied & pasted email replies, a week+ later (or not at all), which essentially ignore what I've asked. Incredibly frustrating.

I don't want to drop any names here because we're in the exploratory phase, haven't even started negotiations with anyone yet. But there are alternatives that are quite a bit cheaper that offer fewer frills.

Humorously enough we needed a sales tax solution, and Stripe Tax is vastly outgunned by its competitors, possibly leading to the layoffs in its department. It is a significantly inferior product to Avalara, which is the leading product in the space.
There is an old saying that when you are in a hole, you should stop digging. You aren't following that advice though.

I claim that an LNG terminal on the scale of the Sabine Pass LNG project could replace Nord Stream 1. You claim that 5 such terminals would be a drop in the bucket. Let's look at numbers and see who is right.

Nord Stream 1's official capacity is 55 billion cubic meters a year of LNG. (They actually run a bit more than that.) Source: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/kremlin-nord-stream-...

Sabine Pass is the largest LNG terminal in the world. Its capacity is 55.4 million metric tonnes per year. Source https://www.statista.com/statistics/1263935/largest-operatio...

Those numbers are close, but the units are different. But 1 million metric tons LNG = 1.38 billion cubic meters LNG. Source: https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wholefarm/html/c6-89....

Therefore a single LNG terminal on the same scale as the Sabine Pass LNG project would provide 139% of the official capacity of Nord Stream 1.

Do you have any more "corrections" to offer? Or do you wish to keep digging the hole you are in?
If you have enough mass, and enough change in height, sure. Doesn't mean you have a practical way to use that potential energy though.
The article is very opinionated ad I don't agree with some of it, but the problem is real and we should think of how to deal with it for the future.

As I see it, currently the only sure-fire way to deal with unlicensed material is to treat it as "all rights reserved", until it hits the public domain.
There are other reasonable approaches, but none universal and they sure imply a fair amount of due diligence and risk assessment.

A good solution could be a universal, retroactive, default-license. Any license would do. Because it's the absence which creates the uncertainty, the traps and the variable interpretations all over the world. Yet, while this would be very useful, I don't see it happening anytime soon...

So, what we can do in the meantime? We could gently ask authors to choose a license for their unlicensed artifacts whenever we stumble upon one. — Which I already do, with a few gratifying successes, if I must say myself. :)

Also, many code-repositories are already helping the problem by pushing for the choice of a license at the creation of new projects, but we all need to push more. Lobbying the code-repos to progressively give stronger nudges to the existing unlicensed stuff, which is indeed the more difficult to address otherwise...

Google used to have something on their front page to the tune of "What other people are searching right now!"

To sort of add a lively "Here's what's trending!" kinda thing

They pulled that feature really fast when it made users acutely aware that their searches were not at all private.

So... Likely this reason.

As someone who worked as front-line support and turned into the authority who's asked to resolve complex cases, this is nonsense. They aren't playing Tetris ignoring the queue. It's more likely the front-line staff are overwhelmed and/or don't know how to cut through the corporate hoops/politics to find and deliver the fix, and/or too shy/embarrassed to admit ignorance and having to pass it to the higher-ups for someone who knows how to fix things. It's more likely going in circles because they want to resolve it within their levels without having to escalate it.
I love how this perfectly reasonable observation gets replies that deny it and simultaneously contradict one another. Somehow no one cares. Different replies are claiming that there is no problem, that the problem could be solved only if more users were technical, and that the problem cannot be solved by technologists at all. So, which one is it?
It's odd. At first it shows is 336 hours, 0 mins, and 0 seconds and then it counts down to 35:59:59. Clearly a bug.
Every Stripe issue invites a flood of complaints, which is fine, but... try Better Business Bureau. They have a tracking process, they keep score, they assign a grade.

By the way, Stripe responses to BBB complaints are hilarious [1]. Most of the ones I read close with an identical snippet of text dismissing the claim as "baseless", even when they admit they made a mistake. It's astonishingly inept and says a lot about the attitude toward the customer.

Oracle XE will have the deepest SQL/PSM implementation of any freely-available database, without question. The list of standard functions, procedures and packages is enormous.

This is a double-edged sword. If you use these (proprietary) features and you outgrow XE, then you have to buy a license. XE also doesn't get quarterly patches - it's updated every couple of years (hardening is essential).

Oracle Enterprise retails for $47,500/CPU core. The stripped-down SE2 falls to about $18k.

Definitely beware of the lock-in, but XE likely remains the best for procedural programming in SQL.

For the extremely Oracle-averse, there still may be some value in running it alongside Postgres(with the SQL/PSM extension) and MySQL to verify that your code is portable.
Huh that's weird. It actually shows the correct 336h for a few milliseconds first and then counts back from 35h. I wonder what's happening internally - messing up a timer shouldn't be that easy normally, right?
Well, I could, but a free software with non-free dependencies is not of much use...

Would you use another software with the same licensing restrictions as SurrealDB in SurrealDB itself?
Well that sucks, my mid-2012 MBP needs a new battery. I guess it's back to 3rd party options.
Yeah that's sad. I asked for a fee reduction 2 years into our relationship, and they said no because of XYZ but if we hit revenue targets ABC that they'd re-evaluate.

About a year later, we hit revenue targets ABC, I waited a month (just for systems to catch up) and emailed them. We had a good discussion about a rate cut and they knocked their fees down as they promised.

I emailed in 3-4 years after that and asked for a rate cut as our revenues had gone up by about 10x, and they said they could not, but provided explanations on why because of high international processing, high AMEX/Discover processing, etc. Totally cool, I understood that and appreciated the detailed email. Wasn't disappointed at all.

I tried back a year or so later when our revenues shot up but got the same message more or less, but still personalized. Again, I had to try, but also, not unhappy.

And since all of those excellent customer service responses - many of which did not go my way, which is not how I rate interactions - it's been awful. The corporate card team refuses to answer questions or even apologize for their insane limit cuts. They presumably are hiding behind bullshit KYC/AML justifications for their actions or protecting their algorithmic decisions in order to provide us zero actionable customer support with no personalization. It's embarrassing.
But is gravity really providing energy? It's only because of the sun that certain things are able to rise to a higher level of gravitational potential energy, and then drop back "down", thereby releasing the potential energy they had gained.

Your stated position of it being a 'hoax' is not a conclusion I could ever reach. Trump's ties to Russia despite being inflated by the news aren't a 'hoax'. His campaign members entanglement in foreign affairs wasn't a 'hoax'. I can agree some of those actions have possible alternative motives, but they are listed because the outcomes Trump encouraged were also favorable outcomes for Russia. You can weight their severity however I guess.

I don't know what to say about your denial of the Ukraine blackmail. First you change my answer to being about whether the aid was held instead of the fact that he tried to pressure Ukraine into releasing information about his political opponent. Aside from that it was clear funding was held after the White House initially determined conditions were met. Mick Mulvaney even excused it as Trump being "not a big fan of foreign aid", and claimed Trump said Ukraine was a corrupt place (Oct. 17 2019 press briefing). It doesn't make sense to try and excuse it like this if no aid was withheld.

I don't know why bring up Obama as relating the MH-17. Trump's comments were after the investigation that concluded from Dutch authorities, and the conclusion of his own intelligence apparatus. We can write it off as just Trump's style to say words that only benefit a rival, but that just makes him to be rather incompetent as I said before. Still damning.

edit: I wrote incorrectly about the Dutch investigation time. That was concluded before the election, not during Trump's term.
Ah yes, the most extreme thing one withstands is U.S. regulation.
While I like the spirit of this idea, wouldn't the reviewer be incentivized to say "no" to as many claims as possible? This is akin to how health insurance reviews work and, at least in the usa, that never goes poorly...
Well, the "before Google" was librarians, and they have a history, a long, long history of saying "no" to the feds when it comes to giving out reading and checkout lists of people.

*Of course* Google and friends happily give that information out "pre-warrant".
Not really. It's an apples to oranges comparison.

For one thing Paddle is a merchant of record so it's more like "outsource your entire payment system including all the processing of different payment methods and the global tax admin". For a lot of businesses, particularly smaller ones with international sales, that is going to be an attractive option compared to services like Stripe even at this price point.

For another thing Stripe has introduced so many extras that bump up their cut now that some types of business will end up paying quite a bit more than the analogous headline rate. So even if it were an apples to apples comparison the difference on the bottom line still wouldn't be as wide as it might first appear for those merchants.
To be fair we have all been there.
There's an angle on all of this which I always thought was pretty interesting (Considering they only managed to update a consolidated TCP RFC in the past week especially):

"At one of the quarterly meetings Vint Cerf came in and dropped a bombshell on us: he said TCP had become a standard. Our immediate reaction, or at least my reaction, was 'Wait: it's not done yet. We have this long list of things we still have to figure out'," Haverty recalled in his speech.

The technology was out of developers' hands before they felt ready to let it go.

Haverty said the teams he worked with always expected to fix and polish their work – not just build on top of what he referred to as an "experiment."

"There's all sorts of operational issues that we went through and developed but they haven't made it into the real world,” he said. [1]
