>Banks rely on a fixed set of rules to trigger an investigation for money laundering.

Mostly, yes. But there are hundreds of those rules.

>One of these rules is the value of the transaction.

That happened, but I doubt that is the most important rule now. From what I've seen in my experience way bigger focus total value of transactions compared to various metrics.

Very large number of transactions on personal accounts is also one of those rules.

>Their payment would be automatically blocked and you would get a phone number they had to call to be able to make the payment. It was for example when buying a £5000 kitchen (I worked in the equivalent of home depot in the UK). If they could have split that transaction down to say 10 payments of £500 it wouldn't have triggered anything on the bank side.

That sounds like fraud, not money laundering rule.
Design is highly contextual, so I think it'll depend a lot on how they're used. These fonts seem a lot more polished than what you would find in old-school clip art packs. I can imagine some interesting use cases for these.

And even if these fonts don't hit, people will make more!
Dropping tuition by 62%, this small college becomes more transparent on pricing
Agree. I was both interested enough to read the whole article AND really annoyed at the fluff. (“let me explain”, “of course”, “we’ll get back to that”) Bleh.
I don't believe there is anything obvious about it.

I think the way W3 lays out information is likely better for beginners.
And MDN is likely better for the average professional developer.

So the question is who makes the most searches for those subjects.

That said, I do actually see MDN as the first result for some searches.
I wasn't clear about the skippable ads: the screenshots in this tweet only include the top-left qty and timer, not the bottom right of the screen which might be showing a 'Skip Ad' button.

The UI also looks exactly like Youtube on TVs, which from my experience, does this '3 of 10' for ALL adverts across an extended video.

This tweet has nothing to prove what they're saying, my guess is they're trying to stir up controversy.

edit: it's pretty clear that most here are more interested in sharing their dislike for ads or preferred adblocker solution, rather than even considering the legitimacy of the claims made in the tweet :(
> - supports both active (monitored host sends data to Zabbix) and passive (Zabbix asks the host for data) configurations

But this requires different templates for each mode.

Why they did this way is beyond me... though I have a suspicion what they aren't using it themselves on anything than a tiny lab with a couple dozens of hosts.
The only study without a replication crisis.
Mainly it's relatively low operating cost compared to modern bombers. Also it's readiness ratio is much higher than anything more modern (75% for B-52 vs 50% for the B-2 Stealth Bomber).

I'm not sure how retrofitting bomb doors (plus any other military requirements) onto a modern wide-body Boeing would be any better than a major refit of an existing B-52. Heck, we can't even build new tankers for in-flight refueling without major fuckups and overruns. A bomber would be worse.
That analogy makes no sense. If I point a gun at something and pull the trigger, it’s going to get shot, because that’s how guns work. It’s not a random other event that just so happened to occur after the first — it’s the expected outcome.
Spicy take: "I have nothing to hide" is another way of saying "I've got mine, fuck you."

It's used by people who are comfortable with the current status quo. They're also probably your stereotypical cis/het white males.

Since the status quo favors them, why would they care who looks upon their "society approved" lives? It'd probably even flatter them.
I assume this is because the YT annoying dumb face thing is simply less enticing than ... the scenes and "expressions" they can get away with on a porn site. I'd guess a large set of youtube creators would be more risque and scantily clad in their thumbnails if YT would allow it.

So... let's just be glad YT only allows mouths to be agape on the thumbnails you have to scroll past.
Even if you have nothing to hide, others do. You don’t want somebody to be able to blackmail a politician or a judge who e.g. had an affair.
Drum brakes are in the same spot and can last for the life of the vehicle.
What you describe is what we were taught in drivers' ed as "steer into the direction of the skid". If your back end is whipping out (oversteer) then turn to the outside (the direction the wheels are skidding). If your front end is lagging into a turn (understeer) turn again toward the outside, which is the direction the wheels are skidding and will straighten them out to regain traction.

Maybe that's what OP meant by "into the turn" (although as you point out, that is actually toward the outside of the turn).
It seems likely that this one is true: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20131008-00/?p=30...
>Or maybe they say "enough is enough" and don't pay it.

Never thought of it this way. Does Google need European revenue more or do Europeans rely on Google more?
Consider the timing and placement of advertisements. Youtube is most frustrating with a an unskippable advertisement just before an important part of the video. Such behavior by the site is much less desirable with a porn video.
Sure, but also could be misused politically. ROFL EMOJI. :p :) xx ;p
If it can be proven that that's what they did, it's likely illegal.
I don't think that's unusual at all for any jet aircraft that's around for decades. They almost all get new engines, avionics, etc. That the B-52 still has 8 engines is somewhat surprising...that's not terribly desirable.
There is not even a JRE anymore, you are supposed to bundle the JDK’s relevant part with your app for quite some version now.
Because if it was legally income, it is a crime not to report it. If the IRS discovers it later, they can charge you the taxes, plus interest, plus penalties, and in some cases prosecute you criminally (see Al Capone). Whether it needs to be legally reported as income or not is not determined by whether someone else already filed paperwork for it or not. I don't know if this would need to be reported as income or not, under what circumstances; I'd talk to a lawyer or CPA. whether someone filed a 1099 or not is not determinative.
Where I live, person to person wire transfers are absolutely normal. Probably because checks have never been much of a thing. I have seen like 3 in my life and all of those originated in the US.
As I’ve posted my story below, I also wanted to point out that I was uniquely Deaf, but nonetheless a rockstar programmer then.

Interviewing is hard. Notably Google’s digital interviewing where they insist that they call you for an interview. I aced all their backend questions so they kept trying to call me until I insisted that I call them. Then it went silent. Their loss.

This approach doesn’t leave us Deafies a whole lotta time to arrange for an American Sign Language interpreter to come and sit with us before the phone rings.
If this happens to you, do yourself a favor and immediately retain a lawyer to handle the communication with the counter-party and with your bank.
…yes?… but it’s more than you were a cult leader and your follower did something bad. You have to have psychologically manipulated them as well -ala Manson.
I guess non-racist layoffs would mean not disproportionately laying off minority groups. So anti-racist layoffs would mean disproportionately laying off majority groups? So then it would be anti-racist in the sense of rolling back historical racist impacts.

In reality it's probably just empty talk since they know they'd get sued for actually doing anything beyond making promises.
thank you for this post -- overall, I would add a personal "unsubstantiated claim" that a big, big part of new additional requirements, micromanagement, constant ID problems and moving the goal posts regarding cash flows is .. insiders at credit and banking, ex-finance career money handlers and others wearing a uniform, executing and getting away with financial theft. Ordinary citizens with "a life savings" are far more rare than "college educated with a gambling habit" insiders on the business side of money, forging, smearing and blaming while pocketing the results. I believe I saw this in the USA with VISA credit, mortgages and other forms of personal finance, leading up to the 2007 meltdown.

Second rant part - regulatory compliance boils down to a "pain game" in so many old industries.. We know 'x-y-z' is happening but we shut it down when we find it, versus, 'newly promoted enforcement official needs to show success now' motivated audits, new regulations and 45-day decrees. All players at a certain size are guilty but the question is intent, awareness and effort to curtail.

Bluntly, the expression is "sh* rolls down hill" .. meaning that the least able, least aware and least mobile get stuck with additional restrictions, burdens, in some cases fines or entrapment, while Big Business shows up to work again tomorrow.
Civil law doesn't work like that. Its precise. You cant just 'interpret' things to widen or shrink the scope. You can't include things that are not directly specified in the law or in the lawsuit. If the lawsuit is about software licensed to hardware manufacturers, the lawsuit is about it. Another lawsuit will need to be opened to deal with software licensed to end users. Its somewhat like iterative software development. The scope is kept as precise as possible.
> I believe in privacy and free expression. What I don’t believe is that we can make these things out of computers; they come from norms and law, designed and negotiated by and between free people. When we put it in a computer, all we’re doing is asking for someone to formally circumvent it rather than find a legal loophole. In doing so, we transform a process into a permanent state and fundamentally freeze our ability to make progress.

If norms and law were the only tools we had, nobody would have communications privacy. Every large government around the world is constantly battling against privacy. When the government turns against its people, technology can help. The only realistic solution for privacy in today's environment is to "put it in a computer" using encryption. Would you also argue that instead of adopting HTTPS, we should have written a letter to our congressman?
If proven, yes.

I bet Twilio has arbitration clauses in their contracts, though.
Yes, the 50% "retail margin" is average, there are many things that are much more razor-thin. Commodities and valuable brands, for example.
Except iOS doesn't have a market size that matters in Europe.

Android is the Windows of mobile OSes.

By the way that isn't how the law defines monopolies.
My favorite quote from the article:

> Watching non-programmers trying to run software companies is like watching someone who doesn’t know how to surf trying to surf.
> This is why being in a higher tax bracket is never a bad thing - you can't net less than you would have in the lower bracket.

It's a bad thing if you could defer realizing that higher-bracket income to a low-income year.
I had a friend once tell me that porn was the driving force for innovation on the internet.

Firstly getting the speeds up to load images, then videos with buffering then 4k, then VR.

The design features and business model of porn sites is years ahead of anything else, for a reason these sites up until very recently were the majority of bandwith over the Internet.

A business model you will start to see more which is very common in porn is to use the streaming site as advertising to your paid membership site.

You release 10min clip of say a podcast and to watch the rest you need to join the members only site. As YouTube partner programme gets worse and rules about what content get more strict you will see a drive to only using YouTube as a marketing tool to get people behind the pay wall.
It's easier to start from the end by googling "Call of Duty founders" than starting from Medal of Honor and hoping there aren't too many branches with only one leading to Call of Duty (which is the case here).

"Call of Duty founders" -> first link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_Ward -> 3rd sentence: All of the 22 original team members of Infinity Ward came from the team that had worked on Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
They're not making any claims of actually having done anything non-figurative.
Sorry, but the bank is giving you totally reasonable options here -- you can always write a check to friend/family who trust you (know it won't bounce), and you can always get a cashier's check to pay someone who doesn't trust you (e.g. buying a car).

Banks have daily and monthly limits on how much cash you can withdraw, for reasons of both logistics, fraud, and crime. And it's similar with wire transfers that have a risk of fraud, because they can't be reversed.

Seriously, why couldn't your relative send you a check? And why couldn't you get a cashier's check for the used item? That's how it's always been done, for many many decades.

Yes it's your money and you can withdraw it any time via check or cashier's check. The other options like wire and cash are extra options that come with understandable limitations. But there's nothing wrong with checks.
Those Monarchists were elected. I'm sorry that sometimes people you disagree with get elected. Regardless, it's the police who are enforcing this law passed by Parliament... I don't believe the law even mentions republican protests. You are blaming the Monarchy for the acts of the Government and Parliament.

Well the one's who are self-obsessed (Tony Stark, on Cap: "He's wrong, but he think's he's right: that makes him dangerous") can often be heavily involved in "helping" others so convinced they are of their own righteousness.

But I think the article probably goes in a different direction to what we are saying (superficially? like a trope?) here.

Let's read it! :P :) xx ;p
What can it possibly mean except when given the choice, they chose people to layoff based on their skin color - so in other words, in trying to show they are not racist, they made firing decisions based on race, not based on seniority or performance.
Interesting read.

One point that sticks out: if you are an executive over a function, you need to have enough depth in the function to know when you're being fed a line versus receiving competency from your reports.

One concept that can be a two-edged sword here is being "managed up" -- which many treat as an adversarial/cloak-and-dagger relationship with execs with a positive spin. In my thought, keeping this under control requires domain competency.
If you put it like that it is an actual service. The US is far enough removed to make a reasonably neutral decision.
I have never participated in Hacktoberfest as a maintainer, but we are thinking of doing so this year as our software has become more mature and we have acquired more users.

If anyone else has participated as a maintainer, do you have any tips to make it easier for people to contribute to a project?

We have multiple repos - should we focus contributions on a single repo? (We are a small team - 9 people.)

Our documentation sucks right now, but I am working on it very actively and hope to at least somewhat remedy the situation in the coming 10 days.

If you were a Hacktoberfest maintainer or contributor in the past, your advice would be appreciated.
I use an extension on firefox that allows me to whitelist channels from the ad blocking (u need to use uBlock origin). However, it puts a limit on the amount of ads and i support directly my favourite creators on other platforms.
Ah yes, the "three-way match" problem.
You have purchase orders going out, invoices coming in, and products coming in. It's not always easy to associate all three with eachother in the real world.
A different thing but related: why is Spotify's queue a queue and not a deque? Late Google Play Music had a deque, Tidal has a deque. I often create a long queue of songs and then remember to add a few more to the beginning. With Spotify I have to add them to the end and then manually scroll them all the way to the top. Actually that's one of two reasons why I chose Tidal and not Spotify when GPM died (the other one is that they pay more to the artists).
you would have to be crazy to pay taxes on the 80k for that exact reason. I wouldnt even consider it, even if it were in my account for years.
Well, the whole thing happens in closed source platform, so not really celebrating FOSS in the first place.
How would you even begin to prove something like that? No exec would be dumb enough to send an email that says "we see that the bottom 11% in your organization is mostly marginalized groups, we can't let you fire them". It will be a wink-wink nudge-nudge during a 1-1 meeting.
This is my feeling as well, but to play devil's advocate; what settings could Tesla tweak to cheat on a crash test? I'm struggling to think what software tweaks Tesla could be implementing during a test that would game the results of the crash.

Airbag/seatbelt tensioner timings? Maybe lowering the threshold for their deployment? Maybe something sort of software-triggered fuse to make the battery safe?
Hmm, people in the US market do commit murder using S&W. How is this known fact helping? I think it needs more meat before being used as an argument.
You say "putting some bomb bay doors on a modern Boeing" as if that is something that you can just do without redesigning the entire aircraft. Some other the changes you would need:

- Retraining the entire fleet of pilots for the new aircraft.

- Recertifying the entire set of currently available weapons that the B52 can drop.

- Integrating modern military radios/crypto/satcoms/datalinks/etc with the civilian Boeing system.

- Replacing all the spare parts/simulators/ground equipment/etc.

Now these are not unsolvable problems of course; all that gets done every time a new aircraft model is introduced. But there is just not really a need to replace the B52. The main downside is that it's a bit of a gas guzzler, but apart from that the USAF would gain very little in capabilities by replacing the B52 with a modern airplane. It would be very expensive for basically no gain.
If you hired and trained competent people to do the rewrite, sure. A lot of places will just outsource to a cheap offshore team and be surprised when nothing works.

> Tornado Cash qua smart contract is the bullet, and Tornado Cash qua entity with developers is the person pulling the trigger.

This seems incorrect. Tornado Cash developers have no ability to execute code. Rather, "deployment", is in actuality Tornado Cash developers proposing the code for execution. Ethereum miners execute the proposed code, and they can refuse to execute.
I think it is but they do rev the sub model number it seems.
It depends on what was said. If the post spoke the whole truth and nothing but the truth, e.g. "your wife has an affair", then no. If the post is "I'll give you $x for offing him", then yes. If the post is manipulative and slanderous it becomes more complicated. Maybe some of the blame, but not all of it?
>If the replacement takes 6 months to get up to speed the replacement is certainly not a very good developer

I think you're mistaking 'becoming a contributing member of the team' for 'contributes at the level of the developer that left'.
There is also a Hangul adaptation of Gilbert called Gilbeot [1]. It also has an interesting feature that censors words that discriminate LGBT people (akin to Sans Bullshit Sans). I do have a feeling that they are clearly decorative and yet still being overused for non-heading text, maybe this is a major problem with many color fonts.

Im from Twilio, It's out of context on the email to outsiders, It's just a thing thats everywhere in our wording to be an anti-bias/anti-racist company. It's part of the Twilio values/corporate template.

It's not something written for this email in particular.

Privacy is a critically important part of our society that has been lost in the advent of digital banking. Recognizing that there are governments and institutions eroding privacy of cryptocurrencies by forcing regulation at the exchanges necessitates other methods for anonymity.

By the same argument, guns are meant to kill things, that is their primary function, yet we do not go after the gun manufacturers based on morality. Just because something can be used for harmful purposes, does not mean that it has no useful purpose in our society.
Alright, I'm reading it. It's a sad type of "hit piece" of turning something against Trump. But I think, separating out the anti-Trump craziness there may be something good there. I shall read on! :P ;) xx ;p (edits from now on, too many comments)

edits:

1.

Alright it seems like a pathetic "anti-authoritarian" hit piece, where you can get (the two threats of) Trump and China with one stone. As in: Democracy is at risk; yes, but it's not what you think; it's authoritarianism; Trump was authoritarian; hey, look over there, so is China.

So far the article is BS, but I'm hoping there is some insight.

2.

“Democracies can’t depend on one of two major parties never holding power,” argues Brendan Nyhan, a government professor at Dartmouth College and a co-founder of Bright Line Watch, a group that monitors the erosion of American democracy. But that may be the necessary treatment for now, because Republican leaders “are defining a vision of a Trumpist GOP that could prove more durable than the man himself.”

Alright, this is some hope. We need more than just lip service to a two-party state. With each pretending the other is the antiChrist. That's the system, manipulating the people, to keep the "system" in power, the diametrically opposed parties are simply tools of the prolongation of that power. An illusion of choice. But sadly, so far that's as close as the article gets to what I see as truth, but I don't think they even meant it that way.

3. Wow, so got to the end of the article, and it's utter BS. Apparently the Republican Party and Trump represent the "cancer of authoritarianism". Which is just BS democrat posturing. I mean, how ridiculous, in the name of democracy, calling the only other legitimate party choice, the antichrist...while pretending you are upholding democracy by demonizing the only other choice people have? Insanity. Oh well. Most people are so triggered by these discussions as to make clear thought impossible. I hoped this article would contain some useful critique of Western liberal democracies failings, yet is was just a "status quo" hit piece dressed up in sophisticated garb. So sad. Don't drink it or you'll choke on that disgusting swap-water koolaid. blargh.
To lose local regen braking derived power requires a failure of the cars systems similar in nature to one that would cause loss of hydraulic fluid or air in a traditional braking system.
