You know what's better than learning from your own mistake? learning form other people's mistake.

If you login during a vacation overseas and get your account locked, they keep everything in it. Doesn't matter if you never did any transactions yet and all that money is yours from the bank account you linked. If you get banned, you lose it. Getting your account and/or your money back is about the same level of difficulty as getting unbanned from a google account. It's not impossible, but be prepared to take them to court.

If you only use PayPal to purchase things online, the protection is great, but you don't want to be on the other end of that transaction.

With respect to the state of California, I am ethically and politically opposed to this measure and do not recognize the constitutional validity of this law. I invoke my right to non-violently protest by disregarding any portion of this law I consider unethical.

It's possible this gets overturned, anyway.

You don't need to be selling immediately to be interested in property values. HELOCs are popular, refinancing is popular, and there's the estate to think about. People may not explicitly say "I'm propping up my property value", but actions speak louder than words.
"Do not complain to me, gentle reader, that a submission is inappropriate. Rather, take it upon yourself to peruse the rules and guidelines, and to use your best judgment in making a decision.

I don't think this has anything to do with kodi, kodi does not seem to have a browser or allows running external applications, you can instead run kodi as an app on this
You are of course free to do so, but that's not likely how you're going to get the best results.
From what I have read, the little by little movement is what makes it excruciating. With jaw surgery, you break it and put it into its final place while under anesthesia. Then the healing starts immediately. With leg lengthening, you are slowly moving a break and this shifting/stretching the nerves. Not to mention there are lots of risks. I say you've only got one life to live, don't risk spending the rest of it limping around in pain for up to 3 inches of height.
I am sure this happens in "Good Ole Boys club" type workplaces.

You'd think tech wouldn't have these "old school" type of attitudes as part of the company culture, but you'd be wrong. I will say though, tech companies tend to have it concentrated more at the Exec level than the Engineer level.

I don’t disagree but Stripe’s case makes sense.

They are making documentation for developers.

And in fact, having good documentation and developer tooling is a core part of their value proposition.

Making it easy to look at documentation and immediately implement something that works is a core part of the Stripe UX.

So documentation can be considered as part of their product offering.

In that way it makes sense for them for it to be driven by code.
Agreed. Next I want gamers to quit wasting energy too. They should just read books and do something useful with their time.

If you think about it, people that can't monetize their videos, put much less effort into making good videos. By not paying for content you're actually doing the opposite of encouraging for good quality.
Would agree in large part. I think the ones that were successful, they're successful enough that you forget it was an acquisition.

One off the top my head is Google Docs[1] which, for the longest time, I was pretty sure it was in-house tech. It's actually a number of acquisitions for the collaborative editor tech and then MS Office support.

It seems now that most incumbents have enough cash to not care about being that strategic about acquisitions.

I feel the same way too, but on the other hand, been waiting on it for 10+ years now...
Totally unscientific experiment, but for me, walking or cycling I barely break a sweat for short to moderate distances/times.

Only if we're talking about longer distances/times do I start to feel even a small amount of exertion.

In contrast, even a short run (say, 2 miles, or 20 minutes) I am out of breath, sweating like crazy, and totally exhausted.

In other words, unless I am spending a lot of time walking or cycling, I don't feel like I've exercised at all. Whereas even a short run is hard. So if I have a limited time window to exercise, I feel running is a more efficient use of that time?
Neither of them are short enough that I'd call them 'short'. Right around average height for all genders. A little below average for U.S. men, but in lots of other countries they'd be above average (racism is possibly an ingredient in this discrimination and subconscious bias enchilada)
I'm getting voted down for talking about the value-add here, but I'll give it another shot. I hope I get some replies this time if people find anything unclear.

Transferability is useful for key rotation. If you can't transfer your ownership to a new key, then if the old key becomes compromised, you can't prove ownership anymore because anyone else can sign using your key. To fix this you have to rely on the original signer to provide you with a revocation and an updated signature, which they may not be willing or able to do (and what if they themselves have rotated their key?)

Basically, to get key rotation to work properly you have to get revocation to work, which means ultimately you have to recreate a trustworthy timestamping service for digitally signed events, which is what a blockchain definitionally does.

Either that, or everyone has to agree on a third party to keep track of revocations, much like with OCSP or the MIT key server. Then, trust that third party not to tamper with the timestamps, and trust them to continue providing their timestamping service far into the future.
They certainly can't claim it takes longer to count manually. Trump definitely found the clinch in that armor.
It'd be great if companies' support processes worked well, and there was no need to reach out to specific individuals on HN, etc, but ... those individuals, like Edwin, who end up being "the Stripe guy" on HN do such amazing value-add for their business.

It's incredible to me that despite the sheer size of these companies, and the enormous number of customers from all over the world, that there's a place you can go and get someone who will pay personal attention to your issue.

Kudos Edwin.

(fully daydreaming here) For C, would it be useful to have main() look like:

int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[], JSON *json)

for some JSON data type that is part of C, kind of analogous to a FILE stream? I'm not sure how the the json info would get into that fourth argument (has to be independent of argv), but it would keep std{in,out,err} as is.
I'm sure you could run Kodi on top of this, but then it would be just as restricted as any other app, and not be able to do the things I mentioned compared to running it directly via something like LibreELEC.

Kodi can actually run third party apps, for what it's worth: https://kodi.tv/addons/matrix/

You're completely missing the point of copilot. It speeds up typing by 10% or more in highly organized codebases. Strong codebases synergize with copilot, they don't compete.

10%+ speedup is a huge, obvious win. Anything that increases my productivity is good.

Incorrect assumption: miners use energy regardless of the number of transactions going through.
Parsers designed for implementing CLI programs are generally too opinionated to handle ~strange commands. (In my terms I'd say it's a prescriptive parser as opposed to something that attempts to be flexible enough to describe nearly all existing CLIs).
Three things become clear once again. We need laws making it illegal to fail to provide a detailed reason for serious actions like this. We also need a complete reworking of the system as it is.. and likely a new official means for payment transaction services in general. Finally, and particularly in the context of digital money, we need laws ensuring bank/CC/PP neutrality. Just like water, gas and power. Financial services are just as fundamental and vital. If we can underwrite, back up, protect and bail them out, then they shouldn't be able to pick and choose or play favorites.
The plan in the 90s was to use 4 high bypass engines and replace the tail. At the time improving the -52 was not favored by the USAF because it would threaten the B-1. I still think it is the correct approach
oh the world where everything can be "fixed". where are we going?
Maybe the abstraction can be a selling point for your customers. They can sign-up for the recurring Stripe subscription but it comes with the risk of suspension. If they are ok with it, atleast they can't claim "I didn't know this" if/when it happens (this risk can be included in the contract to deal with executives leaving/"amnesia"). Or they can also have redundancy, which of course costs extra but can be thought of as an insurance and the abstraction does the rest.
Yeah, finding people who share interest in a game is the common one now.

It’s a bit more limited but it’s quite similar.

> decolonization has to cost it something to mean something

Didn't they, you know, give up their empire? And invite their former colonies to colonize them, to the point that they are now a minority in their own capital?

If anything this should have taught them that, not only will it never be enough, but every act of atonement will count for nothing and be immediately forgotten and discredited.
I have not implied that all acquisitions are bad, but acquisitions to kill do not necessarily breed more better competition.

>You can't reasonably measure this by the kg. Pulling down a single 10000 kg satellite is fairly cheap

On the contrary, this seems reasonable. It (correctly) identifies that deorbiting intact satellites before they fragment is overwhelmingly the cost-optimal strategy.

In the long-run, it's really total mass in a given orbit that's the dominant variable which separates runaway Kessler syndrome from stability. Therefore, a per-kilogram "bounty" (with a sliding scale depending on orbit) wouldn't be a bad incentive model.

Don't pick winners, let the market decide™.
> Online dating apps are rigged for men.

They're rigged for women. Even on the sites that claim to cater to women by forcing them to make first contact, they overwhelmingly use superficial low effort messages to unlock the other side and then proceed to reject 80% of the men they selected just like with regular sites.
I look forward to scampering around the house on four sharpened bone legs like some kind of horror movie esque spider beast when I'm an old man - it will be an excellent way to terrify the grandchildren.
Honestly I'm getting worried about the future of the existence of the human race at this point.

If women would rather remain single than setting for a partner who doesn't match all their expectations and they set their expectations unreasonably high and online dating only benefits the top 5% of men and all real life venues of approach close for various reasons.... what are the bottom 90% of men going to do in the future? Is sex going to become a privilege reserved for only the most elite men? If the majority of men cannot enjoy intimacy, expect incel terrorism to increase exponentially.

That's clever.

Anyone wondering why this is here should read or go see a performance of Arcadia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcadia_(play)

Tom Stoppard is the greatest living American playwright. Some of his earlier stuff can be a tad impenetrable, but Arcadia is why this story is here on Hacker News. It's about a girl in the 1800's who discovers the fractal equation for trees, and in theory, reality itself.

It's marvelous.
If gameplay is also mediated through WotC's servers, though, then the cards would lose any intrinsic value when/if WotC goes under or stops supporting the game.

And if others are allowed to create their own servers so that the game can live outside of WotC's auspices, that would also undermine the value of the NFT cards, since anyone who is able to create their own implementation of the game could just as easily start creating non-NFT versions of the cards that people can use.
And this is exactly what I told a friend of my to do when he installed a public car charger. Before he told anyone it was live, charge his car using his normal customer account. Turned out he couldn't create one because his phone was already in as a supplier.

After some eye-rolling he agreed to buy a burner phone, add a prepay SIM, and whaddayano the bloody charger did not work. Two months later it works, for most people, who have recent cars that are not Teslas. Sigh. "welcome to our product, you're a beta tester. Maybe an alpha tester. We hope it works!".

Part of their retention playbook. I needed Illustrator for a short term project. Only needed it for less than a month so paid for a 30 day term. Almost forgot about it but went to cancel it on the last day. They gave me a month for free automatically. No customer service rep was involved.

- It was rather annoying I had to check & double-check that I was only paying for 30 days and not getting ensnared in the annual plan with monthly payments & a big cancellation fee. Next time I need a vector editor, I'll just buy one from the app store.

For those who don't know what "Kessler-ed" means, from Wikipedia:

The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect,[1][2] collisional cascading, or ablation cascade), proposed by NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, is a scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) due to space pollution is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade in which each collision generates space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions.[3] In 2009 Kessler wrote that modeling results had concluded that the debris environment was already unstable, "such that any attempt to achieve a growth-free small debris environment by eliminating sources of past debris will likely fail because fragments from future collisions will be generated faster than atmospheric drag will remove them".[4] One implication is that the distribution of debris in orbit could render space activities and the use of satellites in specific orbital ranges difficult for many generations.[3]

> Subjective value. Neither an NFT or a trading card provides substantial, measurable utility to its owner.

Trading cards kind of do - TCG card prices generally hinge on actual play utility as much as rarity.

Outside of really old cards that are just valuable because of their extreme rarity lots of cards that are technically rare are still only worth pennies because they aren't actually any good in the game. While cards that are no rarer or older, but are much better in play are worth tens or hundreds of dollars.

And even those cards that are mostly expensive because they're exceptionally old and hard to find, like from first print runs of games that weren't popular yet still differ in price quite heavily based on their utility in actual gameplay. Albeit mostly from the cachet that that gives them rather than from buyers desire to actually play them. e.g. Black Lotus is more valuable than other cards printed in the same quantity in the same set because it's also the most powerful card.
