Thanks for the feedback. Yes, that's the right, the main reason is traffic/domain authority. The current site has gathered some backlinks and ranks high for the niche we care about.

The way I look at it, 99.9% of our traffic is consumers and all our paying business customers started out as consumers, since <x>.com can be more brand able and trustworthy, I think it has higher likelihood of ranking even higher eventually which would increase our funnel.
Yea, the only "mental gymnastics" here is the BS you're trying to pass us that your personal neural network has absorbed exactly zero input or observation from other creators/creations that influences (consciously or otherwise) it's ability to create and profit from works.
Yeah, that is a good feature. Federated stuff is supposed to be the best of both worlds.

Right. It doesn’t matter if landlords collectively profit because their behaviors are guided by their individual interests, not all the landlords of SF as one.

In other words, different landlords with different plans, assets, and resources will act differently. Even if the collective landlords of SF did somehow lose profit from NIMBYism’s rise, some of them will stand to gain a lot and I’d bet on landlords at this NIMBY Prom event standing to gain a lot.
It already made a lot of sense. And it made sense decades ago. But now that we have evidence that it has already impacted operations I can see why leadership across multiple organizations is taking it more seriously.

There’s a lot of potential problems in the world, but leadership doesn’t always take them seriously.
It's like doing a `git revert` vs. `git reset --hard HEAD~1`. The distinction is relevant enough to people, and it's fair to point out how this might be different from what many people consider a 'rollback'.

git revert can be merged with a fast-forward. `git reset --hard HEAD~1` would require others to reset their clones also (and is more like what happens when blocks become orphaned in Bitcoin)
> However, there are a great many smaller businesses in the United States that still rely on being able to swipe the customer’s card.

Who are these businesses? Seriously, stop issuing cards without chips and send new card readers to theses businesses. End of story.

Is it because US businesses use deeply embedded card readers in custom POS machines that aren't modular?

Everywhere I go in South America and Europe, businesses have portable readers. The card companies just sent them new readers and they were accepting chips overnight. Same when NFC was introduced.

The US payment and banking systems are truly maddening.
Contactless uses a cryptographic operation to secure the transaction, both reader and chip are active participants. Compare with magstripes which are passively read and thus trivially subject to replay attacks.

Their lack of any independent audits of their claims continues to be relevant.

Please point to a single third party who is competent to evaluate if they can actually protect against the “most sophisticated digital threats” that has actually supported Apple’s claims.

Valid third parties include, but are not limited to, any national security agency or premier hacking organization with hundreds of members (i.e. actual “most sophisticated digital threats”) declaring it can protect against them, any individual or organization who has designed and implemented such a system in the past agreeing Apple has created such a system, or any certification body who has reliably certified such systems with low rates of false positives such as the Common Criteria.

Invalid support includes, but is not limited to, certification bodies that give Windows their highest security rating, marketing articles, individual hackers of no particular renown, and claims of it being “better” or “harder” without even being able to quantify where in a multiple order of magnitude range it lies.

The NN weights can't recreate anything without input values - specifically a 512x512 grid of random noise, and a transformed textual prompt.

So there's almost a kilobyte of missing data, without which nothing is produced.

Would a JPEG file with random noise in it be potentially any given original image? Of course not - even though the decompressor is perfectly capable of recreating one given suitable input data.

The "Grokking Stable Diffusion" colab posted here a week or two back makes this particularly explicit - any given 512x512 image can be reversed into a latent-space encoding of that image, and reconstructed from it. The NN weights are necessary but not sufficient to do so - ultimately you end up with a 512 byte number mapping to the expression which reconstructs an image. But that includes images which aren't part of the original training set.

Perhaps a controversial opinion, but I suspect that the stereotypical podcast listener -- that is, those who spend hours listening to productivity experts bemoan some new methodology (i.e. productivity porn) rather than spend the time doing what they need to do; or those that believe memorizing factoids is the same as understanding -- think they're more clever than the average person and can somehow use their using a VPN as a status symbol.
It’s completely useless. Because the terminal you’re using is involved in what gets signed, even if you replayed the data to a different but identical contactless terminal (say the next gas pump over) the signatures would fall apart and it wouldn’t work. The serial numbers and such are different.

Also there are transaction counters involved. So even if you could overcome that the processor would see that your card had two transactions with counter 268753 and reject the second. The terminal also has its own transactions counter mixed in too.

And even if you could overcome those I’m almost positive that timestamps are involved too. So even if you could replay the transaction to the same exact terminal and get around the transaction counter issue the time would be different and I think that would cause it to fail.

It really is a well designed system. It follows that software law that people can know absolutely everything about the process and it’s still secure as long as the private keys aren’t given away.

The issue is that the process of refurbishment is fairly hard on the components. Companies in China will obtain decades old ewaste boards and then have workers hold the boards over fires to melt the solder and pull the chips out with pliers. The chips are then sanded, "blacktopped" (covered in a tar-like coating that looks like the IC plastic), and re-marked. This crude process (exposure to extreme heat, no controlling for ESD, etc) can result in chips that have latent defects, on top of the unknown age and uptime of the chips. Another issue is that companies will commonly lie on the re-marking, doing stuff like changing the grade from consumer to military spec, lowering the access time, upgrading the die revision, or mislabeling the chip entirely. For example, Amiga and Atari ST fans have had issues buying Motorola 68060 chips from Asian vendors, as they will commonly relabel 68LC060 chips (which don't have an FPU) as regular 68060 chips.

Long term exposure to constant droning sounds could cause issues in language centers of the brain.

When we rely on sounds for kids, we stick to sounds that mimic the more random/non-droning sounds you encounter in nature. Birds chirping in a forest, evening crickets and frogs etc.
Ok this we figured out.

What I need to find out is what to do in the car. Our kid mostly calms down while walking, but unlike his older brother the car vibrations do not make him sleep at all. And so once he starts crying in the car, we have no way of calming him down, beside stopping the car and carrying him.

It seems like very bouncy driving (a sequence of high acceleration followed by sudden braking) helps, but it’s kind of wreckless, makes my wife sick and my older kid angry.

Help!

Key considerations of designing a scalable SaaS application
Raised Bars, or Breaking into Tech
At best I've found chip reading to work about 60% of the time across a range of local merchants here. And now the debit card I have, which is less than a year old, has a chip which has completely quit working. Making it totally useless for the (thankfully small) number of merchants whose POS systems won't let you fall back to mag-stripe when the chip fails.

As far as I'm concerned, chip cards can get stuffed. They're utter shit in my experience.
Contactless checkout has a different security scope for card issuers. Magstripe + Pin is reusable, contactless auth has protections that bind the key exchange to that specific merchant and multiple pay auth attempts from a merchant get throttled.

I haven't looked into it, but I would guess that there's a key exchange with the reader that binds the contactless payment to that reader in such a way that the card produces a signed unique identity that proves it is the card without leaking the actual card numbers to the reader. Just a guess, but that's how I would want to build something like this. You don't have that much room on a chip but way more than a magstripe. (Security pattern: something you have that is time/merchant delimited)

I believe that in magstripe they just have a strip magnetized to produce some digits + your pin (Security pattern: something you know + something you have).
Hosting a subresource of another website gives you `Referer`, at the very least. And the set of fonts requested is fingerprintable even if your browser didn't send that header. You can also fingerprint the browser further to tie that information into your ad profiles.

Google promises explicitly to not do this, and I believe them. However, they can still be compelled by law enforcement to break their own promise, and that's what the EU is reasonably angry about.
Don’t worry, this one will come up naturally.

In general, I recommend taking all advice with a grain of salt: not because it is bad advice, but because no kids are the same, and what works with one will not necessarily work with another. Just take it easy and try to not worry too much. The unbroken chain of your ancestors have all figured it out, and so can you. And congratulations!
Personally I've never had a chip fail.
Absolutely everywhere in the US has them. They exist for two purposes: first they’re used for fall back if there’s a problem with the EMV chip. Second I’m not aware of any gift cards (except perhaps prepaid debit cards) that have EMV chips. So if you buy a $20 gift card to Home Depot for someone that’s going to be magstripe.

Honestly I didn’t start seeing EMV/contactless available on gas pumps until about 18 months ago.

I've told this story before, but one of my college buddies is an ex-Twitter engineer and I can anecdotally answer this question.

He worked about 2h/day. When he _was_ working, it was on a 5 person team whose sole job that quarter was to implement (from scratch) some JS games and stress relief activities to be played by their content moderation staff in their mandated 10min breaks every 30min.

He was on the team for probably 5 months before he quit and found another job to continue coasting at, and not once in the whole 5 months did their team deliver anything tangible. From what I understood this sort of dynamic was pretty par for the course at Twitter.

I imagine in 50 years companies like Twitter will be used as case studies in business school for how chronically woke-obsessed middle management and career political justice warriors had a measurable tendency to kill otherwise profitable companies in the 2010s-30s. There is just 0 financial justification for the business and management frameworks put forward by these folks, and getting to peer into the Twitter corporate chat, team makeups, hiring processes, and general political climate made it clear to me how much poor money is being spent at many of these companies, and that when the song eventually ends, I'm certainly not hoping to be the one holding the bag.

How would you resolve the issues with the police? The police are not and should not be judges. The man had “child pornography” on his phone, it was reported and the police did their job given the evidence they had.

Watch the TV show COPS to see how many times criminals lie to police officers during an arrest.

It’s unfortunate this man got caught up in this but the police did exactly their job. Commit a crime, have evidence, press charges. Arrest if is procedure.

A single article by a "reliable source" is enough to include something in a Wikipedia article, because Wikipedia can't do primary research. Grayzone sometimes publishes articles by employees of the Russian government. One of those articles wouldn't be sufficiently reliable on its own, so Grayzone isn't a reliable source for Wikipedia's purposes.

A UN committee is equipped to go beyond simply reciting what secondary sources say. It can conduct it's own research, and carefully compare different secondary sources. So it makes sense for them to want to hear from people that sometimes say interesting things but aren't always reliable.

On Counterfeit Chips in US Military Hardware (2011)
This is very cool. Whenever I see things like this I feel it's really a lot of efforts to reach such sophisticated level. How does one get good with 1) embedded programming, 2) hardware design, and 3) 3d print without proper training?

That's why I usually respect hardware people a bit more.
Ha. Honestly I’m having a blast at all the reactions from Europeans (and others) in this thread.

The large local bank in my city doesn’t support it. Their ATMs only started using EMV as few years ago. I’ve seen contactless on national chain bank ATMs once or twice but I don’t think it worked for me for some reason.
Yes. As open source developers we have to now pay Microsoft for the privilege of giving our software away for free.

This isn't really a solution, because it's already "obvious" that it's the wrong user if you're looking closely. The UI shows "Vitalik.eth [verified checkmark] @scamusername" so you can see that @scamusername is not @vitalik. The problem is that you shouldn't need to look at the light text or hover to see that a verified user is who they say they are, the UI should make it completely clear.
