Usually there's a 3 day window for the money to settle, if the bank claims that it did not receive the transaction on this time window, they will "deny" the failed transaction and send to the originator a "return"[1] which contains the type and explanation of why did it failed, and the money won't be transferred to the receiver.

If it surpass the 3 day window a "late return" will be sent to notify the origination that the transaction failed, however, the money may already have been transferred to the receiver.

Looks like visual artists will be rewarded in the future for creating new styles and templates that can feed prompts. Instead of developing a single style and producing from it over a lifetime, developing multiple types and spreading them like young seaturtles.

Companies could be hired to develop a particular keyword over a period of weeks or months to allow for more specific prompts.

Intercepting encrypted domestic communication is fair game as far as the TLAs are concerned. They also always have the option of routing domestic traffic outside the country to make it "foreign origin".
QMK firmware has a handy feature for this called Tapping Force Hold[1]. If you hold the key normally, it modifies the layout, but if you tap it once (or more) and then hold, you'll get the normal repeating behavior.

Example A:

Hold Backspace => Activates layer overlay

Example B:

Tap Backspace => Input backspace

Hold Backspace => Input held backspace => OS handles repeating as configured

Telegram and Signal has basically same problem. Thats centralised storage of data. So if you care about privacy, Signal is not alternative to Telegram.

You don't need syntactical sugar. Just write a function.

static bool all_bits_set(i32 value, i32 mask) { return (value & mask) == mask; }

Here I'm assuming 32-bit values. In C, with relatively little support for generics, you can consider making multiple versions, possibly using _Generic (note, I haven't evaluated the sanity of using _Generic).

Alternatively you can use a #define. However, you need to use "mask" twice, so that gets tricky - either it requires care to keep the corresponding expression at the call site side-effect free. Or the macro needs to be written using compiler extensions like statement expressions and typeof() variable declarations à la Linux kernel.
Correct. Firefox is going to support Manifest V3 but with the old content blocking APIs from V2 still intact.

Whilst this may be true on paper the practice is rather different. Be aware that a company's lawyers will come after you with as much force of the law that they can muster in this situation
Walmart has also fed into this a lot by making it so they are your one stop shop by making it ship stuff that isn’t in stock at your local store. They also by default will give you substitutions if you are doing an online store pickup or delivery order which only has more room for abuse or manipulation of substituting your items for things they need to get rid of etc.

I only use it for a family member but they have intentionally continuously degraded the ui/ux to make it so you fall into these traps and have even basically made it so all of the filters reset every time you search.

The NHS definitely does rank highly in the UK. Not sure if it ranks above web md, but they’re usually both in the top 5 results if they have a relevant page.
"that heavily punishes presence of advertisements in a result." while that is pleasing to read at face value, it has two fundamental problems:

1. it's orthogonal to relevance of content (semi-solvable algorithmically I suspect)
2. it's antithetical to Google's core business model (a lot tougher nut to crack)
Yep, I relatively recently learned about Aliexpress and it seems like most American retailers are just a local cache for them. But if I can order sketchy Chinese knick-knacks directly and skip the markup at the cost of a bit more waiting time, I'd just as soon do that. I've also found the Chinese customer service speaks English just fine and have been great whenever I've had to deal with them.
I think this trend of trading in good will towards your brand for a quick buck has been growing powerfully over the last decade or so. It seems like a lot of brands (that make physical products, specifically) have decided to start making "economical versions" of their products that are far inferior to the ones that built up the brand's reputation. This wouldn't be an issue if they were labeled as such, but it seems like it's usually a tactic that's meant to trick you into buying something that you thought was higher quality.

Not only are they not curated, the marketplace owner will often do nothing about borderline fraud.

A real life for-example:

There's a specific kind of cat treat I used to buy on Amazon, at some point various (or maybe the same under different names, who knows) resellers began to sell that treat in a way where they would break up the retail packaging and sell single pouches for the same price as the MSRP for a whole case (the way the manufacturer sells it).

Technically not exactly fraud because they mention the size in the item description fine print, but because of the pricing and the way Amazon tends to just mix different SKUs from both themselves and resellers willy-nilly into different options of the same listing, its incredibly easy to just assume you are buying the full retail product as packaged by the manufacturer.

To Amazon's somewhat-credit, they've refunded me when this situation occurred, but to their shame they've never done a single visible thing to stop this practice from happening and I've proactively reported it to them repeatedly.

End result is there's a whole bunch of categories of products I won't buy from Amazon anymore because I don't want to have to do in-depth detective work every time I make a purchase. I get my pet stuff from Chewy now as I've yet to run into a similar scam on that website.

Are there any reliable stats on what percentage of internet users use an ad blocker? I've always felt that we are mostly a vocal minority, and as such I don't see this move making a huge dent in Chrome's market share.
I wish I could get into details but that'd give away my identity. Unfortunately this isn't possible. I tried it for months but I was sabotaged continuously by management by doing things faster than I was told (yes they actually berated me for being "fast").
I'm experimenting with your Discord bot right now. It would be great to have a command that shows where your processes are currently in the queue or maybe the discord bot can update on queue position.
This article demonstrates control via iterative techniques, which is more flexible than trying to encode everything in a sentence. The input image acts as state carrying forward much more information than a sentence from one iteration to the next.
I disagree somewhat, "smart people" really means "people who agree with me".

Most technical people view disagreement as a negative for the person doing the disagreeing, I've seen it play out too many times over my career.
My bit of Blitz trivia: Worms prototype (Total Wormage) was developed in Blitz Basic by a high school kid.
Good thing it won't be continued then, because if there's one thing Germany hates it's improvements.
Yeah, I was thinking that. Once people know how the system works, people will game the system. In my experience, there are some people who want to manipulate everything in their favor and against the rest and you cannot really do that (‘networking’ with your manager etc) from home, so they invariably go to the office. So metrics from pm systems are suspect: they are skewed often to people who figured out how to make the stats look good for them. I have seen it too many times. The last big client I had, had a system which gave a combined score analysis based on hours worked, tasks done, github commits, LoC (yep) and some other stuff. It was trivial to make yourself look 10x better than someone who didn't know how it worked or who didn't care or who was just honest.
Radiologists, pathologists, etc. are now competing with AIs. Other doctors are now competing with RNs supervised by a single doctor and a huge electronic medical records system. The digitization and standardization of medical records is the transformative technology here.

That seems like an overreach. Thirty years ago, object recognition basically didn’t work, except in extremely simple cases. Something like semantic segmentation would have been way out of reach. Computers couldn’t play Go effectively against even modestly skilled human amateurs.

Ask HN: What are some things you wish your onboarding included?
Hey Hackers, I am tasked with coming up with a new on-boarding process for newly hired programmers. The vast majority of these will be mid-level/intermediate programmers who have several years of experience, but not necessarily in Government.

Besides the basic meet n' greets and getting development environment setup, etc. is there any specifics your companies onboarding process did well that stood out to you? Or anything that you wish they had done better?

No, becuase someone thinks you've done something bad doesn't mean you have the have the responsibility to do something bad.

I think Joe Rogan encourages people to build a worldview off of things he says, encourages people to treat him as reliable news, and profits from them doing so, both monetarily and by influence over what people think. He has a huge amount of influence over what people think, based on people believing that he's a straight shooter. Then when called on whether he's doing so responsibly, whether he really is straight-shooting, he says "I'm just an entertainer, it's not a relevant question". I think it's irresponsible and manipulative.

I don't see how that has anything to do with thinking someone is obligated to kill if people believe they are a murderer, that's a ridiculous and silly analogy that just doesn't work.

I think Jon Stewart did/does the same thing as Joe Rogan. He has a huge amount of influence over what people think, based on people believing that he's a straight shooter, and he likes, encourages, and profits from this trust and this influence -- it is intentional. Then when called on whether he's doing so responsibly, he says "I'm just an entertainer, you can't expect that of me or hold me accountable for it, it's not what entertainers do". I think it's irresponsible and manipulative.

Can you be specific about how you think the cases differ?

Ask HN: Need help with keeping my child's online school schedule
I have been grappling with this issue for sometime now that I finally decided to post it on HN to solicit feedback/suggestions. Essentially, my son(diagnosed with Autism) suffers from ADD. This has hampered his executive function long enough such that he needs constant reminders to log in to class without incurring penalties for tardiness, needs constant supervision for Homework. There have been instances where he forgot to log in to his designated private lesson and we had to forfeit the class all-together. But once he receives the prompt and he is able to "initiate" the task, he is able to focus long enough. But, now that he attends a "Full-time" online high school(remind you NOT a homeschool), he needs to have 100% attendance and cannot miss or be late to login to his class.

I do want to preface it by saying that our son was diagnosed early on in his life and has had intense therapy for OT and social skills(there has been minor improvements), but being in high-school now the real life skills are lacking. I am looking for tools/processes to improve his executive functions. Perhaps a reminder system, iphone based alerts(he does wear an apple watch) or some kind of visual aids. Anything free or paid(Apps/offline paper based systems) is fair game here. Time is of the essence and I thank you if you read this far.
Exactly, and yet they still call it a “grant.” Would you have no problem if Amazon called themselves a charity?
The atrocious UX isn't helping. Paginated articles, popups, autoplay ads within the well of content... these tactics put you in a bad neighborhood with bot-farm-type sites, no matter how many doctors are involved in the actual content creation.

For human yes
No, they key is to differentiate SEO'd pages with useful content from SEO'd pages with useless content.

This is a game as old as search engines. In 2005, it meant filtering out sites that were just lists of keywords, not coherent sentences and paragraphs. It meant for giving extra points to articles with structure, such as header tags and paragraphs, as opposed to just blobs of text. It meant using PageRank to organically discover which pages real people thought were useful.

It's a much subtler and more difficult problem in 2022, but there are also better tools to do it (big NLG models). It just seems that Google lost interest in quality control at some point.

And I would guess they lost interest in quality control because of Chrome's market penetration. Chrome is a browser monopoly at this point, and with Google being the default search engine on Chrome, they no longer have to give quality results to maintain their search user base. On top of that, they control such a large share of the ad market that any SEO spam website is more likely than not to be using AdSense. Which means they have a financial incentive to deliver page views to SEO spam sites, which tend to have higher ad/content ratios.

I wasn't really trying to make the case that Napolean was a great guy, but he rose to power by winning battles in a war between the French Republic and a bunch of Monarchies, so there was a fairly clear democratic side.

Admittedly, the UK was warring againt the French Monach as well before, so it's not a clear cut thing, but things like Luddites and the 'Peterloo' show that Britain was not speeding towards greater democracy. They very slowly gave ground over centuries of struggle.

> The Tory Prime Minister in 1830, Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington, was resolutely opposed to parliamentary reform. However, there was growing support for limited change within his party, primarily because partially extending the franchise would allow the wealth and influence of Britain's growing middle class to be exploited.

That's 20 years later, a small extra step of democracy.

I was just trying to point out that smashing some stuff was a fairly reasonable thing to do when you don't have a vote and you're hungry, by providing some political context on the era.
Is China really going to nuke the US because the US says that it officially no longer supports the one China policy?

Sure, they bluster. But that would be really stupid. "You said something I don't like, so I'm going to kill us both" level of stupid. China talks tough, but I don't think they're actually that stupid.

It’s not a disservice.

It’s important to remember that scientists always focus on the evidence, not on opinions. Scientific evidence continues to show that human activities (primarily the human burning of fossil fuels) have warmed Earth’s surface and its ocean basins, which in turn have continued to impact Earth’s climate. This is based on over a century of scientific evidence forming the structural backbone of today's civilization [1].
