If the number already contains the check digit, drop that digit to form the "payload." The check digit is most often the last digit.
With the payload, start from the rightmost digit. Moving left, double the value of every second digit (including the rightmost digit).
Sum the digits of the resulting value in each position (using the original value where a digit did not get doubled in the previous step).
The check digit is calculated by 10 − ( s mod ⁡ 10 ) {\displaystyle 10-(s\operatorname {mod} 10)} {\displaystyle 10-(s\operatorname {mod} 10)}.

The phone looking for signal issue could have been solved when cellphones first came out even. The phone internally knows what cell tower its pinging. You flag ones around the fringes of known no service areas like a natural park. If the user hikes off into the woods, the phone is capable of knowing its going into a no service area based on the id of last cell tower its pinged and the fact that its just lost signal for longer than 30 seconds. At which point it could switch to hunting for signal every 10 minutes or something with better compromises for battery life and realistic expectations given the area.
We are in the process of moving off of Stripe Connect (with 60+ accounts) for this very reason. It's one big black box. They are a liability, not a service.

Very sorry to hear of your situation, but it's because of people sharing stories like this that we've been planning our migration away to a more responsible (and responsive) processor for awhile.

It's a ton of work to build new integrations, migrate data, and disrupt customers. Which tells you just how bad of an experience it is with Stripe when we'd rather spend a 6-8 months moving away.
Erwin Schrödinger: why did he fail at Oxford?
Adobe could eliminate this loophole by simply charging the difference (between what they actually paid and what they would have paid on a monthly play) when they opt out.

Presumably the current arrangement is some kind of creative accounting exercise though, and such a pro-customer policy might blow it up.
You are correct, but I also hate that "recurring revenue" is the right answer.

Not only does a subscription fee act as a constant resource drain (as opposed to a one-time charge) but it further pushes society into the zone of "you won't own anything and like it".

Human life and the ability to interact with others and our environment should not be reserved to those that can sustain a high velocity of money.

Focusing on a consistent cash flow makes financial management easy but makes everything else suck. It optimizes for the wrong metric.

UPDATE: You can also look at subscription fees as a tax on productivity. If I pay once for Adobe software I can amortize that over the entire time I use it, and eventually the monthly cost will reach nearly zero. With a subscription fee I can never amortize the software, meaning the fee is effectively a tax. And if I stop paying the fee I completely lose my ability to use the product.
> Media outlets put this disclaimer on practically every Tesla article because the media in the US are clearly butthurt that Tesla doesn't need (or want) them.

Media will typically indicate whether there was a response, no response, or a 'no comment'. Why would they not also indicate that there was nobody made available for them to ask?
I don’t think it’s like that anymore. There are many servicies tied to a console nowadays and they solely function as just game machines. If Sony decides to prevent hacked consoles from having a PSN account or even going further into banning those accounts the incentive for piracy is very low.
You’d also potentially lose future system updates making some games unplayable.

In the old days, all you wanted and could do was play games so stakes were low. Now you have Netflix, NFL, and years of digital “goods” tied in there.

I do agree with you that piracy played a big part on PS1, and PS2 success but the role of it in the modern day won’t be as important as in the past.
Ask HN: Is avoiding unpaid career prep/learning a viable path when unemployed?
About 2 years ago I joined a fairly well-known prep program for software engineers on job interviews. At the time I had been one year without a job and with some 8 years of experience, and this program was recommended to me so I gave it a shot. I did the several weeks-long course and the longer follow-up portion which mainly involves applying to jobs, attending one weekly meeting and checking in with my progress.

A year later, still no job offers. Therefore, I ceased doing my follow-up at the end of last year, and this year I really decreased my output for job applications, mainly limiting myself to recruiters. To meet a weekly quota with the interview prep program, I had sent nearly a thousand applications last year. My ratio of applications to interviews was still pretty low with the interview program, so I stopped mass-sending applications.

But I also decided to stop doing things towards helping my career on unpaid time, even as I'm still unemployed. Taking that prep course didn't do anything to net me a job offer and I feel I've put in too much of my free time already for not getting any jobs out of it, so why would I want to keep going when it all feels like a gamble? I want to avoid unpaid career building from here on out. Could this still be a viable path? I'm not going to sign up to anything or do any career-related practice unless a company is paying for it, or otherwise doing it on salaried time. I only make an exception for meetup groups since I count that as socializing and not strictly career-related matters.

A job can hire me and pay me to learn, I have no problem with that. On-the-job training is a real thing. But I don't consider job searching to be a job, because I'm not getting paid for it.
Disclaimer: I haven't played it, but I read this article.

It looks like a pet breeding game. You "own" cartoon cats - visual representations of distinctive bundles of characteristics contained in a NFT. You generate more NFTs by "breeding" two existing cats (executing the smart contract), which results in random combinations of their characteristics in offspring.

What to do with them? Speculate on their value, same as any NFT.

As a "game" this sounds incredibly unsophisticated compared to normal video games - something that might have passed during the flash era of gaming, or maybe today on itch.io as a weekend project. The only "hook" outside of this is the speculation / potential to earn (and I imagine if you're in on the scam, earning is a lot of fun).
Breeding is a complex and nuanced game mechanic, which when coupled with the worldwide marketplace unlocks a dizzying rabbit hole. Once you understand the mechanics, you realize just why a Gen 1 Tendertears would be a grail collectible to own.

I called it more of a sandbox than a game, but there are also Fancy Chases, events where a specific limited-time breeding goal is introduced and it's a race to be among the first to achieve this goal and breed a Fancy Kitty.

Not saying it's for everyone, but it's definitely something that thousands of people found and find pretty darn fun (again: if expensive).
1. A replaceable battery
2. The ability to easily install the operating system I want to use, rather than the one the manufacturer wants me to use

True. However, companies used to engage in comprehensive testing before release. SaaS removes the need to do that, saving a lot of money in exchange for a lower-quality product.
A little off topic but just like the suggestions here to have multiple payment processors, in your personal life have multiple checking accounts at different banks. Many banks are shutting down accounts for no apparent reason most likely due to AML and KYC. Your money can be tied up and you have no way to pay bills or get cash.
> Again, can I use crypto of any kind to buy $2 peanuts at the supermarket in Bucharest and grandma $1 popcorn at the cinema in Djibouti, without turning Earth into Venus?

Probably not, but you can neither use USD (or any sort of dollar) for that either. In Bucharest you'd use Romanian leu (RON) and in Djibouti you'd use Djiboutian franc (DJF).

It's all about finding people in the middle, to agree on what you both have. In this case, you wouldn't be able to buy anything in those locations.
Point here was that you’d hypothetically be able to get all of your data to setup an alternative if you had to, rather than just being shut down and waiting for them to fix it.

Wealth always concentrates to few entities in all forms of free market capitalism.

You cannot have decentralized money without distributed wealth that is not concentrated . This usually means a successful form of socialism ( none have proven successful, or looks likely to do so today)

This merge to PoS is just exposing that people with wealth always have a say on how the system works, whether it is miners or stakers it was and is always controlled by few .
I loathe the term "countersteering" preferring to use the term "push steering" instead. Rather than think "turn left to go right" think "push right to go right" or "push left to go left."

People say it's the same as on a bicycle but not really. On a bicycle you can easily use your body weight to lean. The bicycle is light and your speeds are low. Motorcycles weigh several hundred pounds and go at speeds unthinkable on a bicycle. It's a completely different ballgame and push steering is essential to not getting yourself killed.

To wit, if you're running wide on a right-hand corner you'd better be pushing on that right handlebar to tighten your turn so you don't drift into the lane with oncoming traffic and experience a deadly crash. That's why motorcycle courses stress the importance of push steering. The good news is it's very intuitive once you've done it a few times.
I'm sure preparation of such does take time, but I would guess that the CA DMV recently determining that Tesla's "Full Self Driving" is not, in fact, full self driving and banning trying to use it as such is the motivation. FSD costs a obscene amount of money for a feature that every Tesla clearly already supports, but as it has now been declared by the CA DMV to be not FSD, and therefore people cannot even consider using it, the purchasers quite reasonably want their refunded.

Also it remains absurd to me that you can advertise a product for X, but then get out of liability by saying you do not guarantee it can be used for X. In the case of Tesla FSD it's both "full self driving" but also "the driver must remain in control of the vehicle at all times", but there are plenty of other examples you can produce.
> I wouldn't be surprised to find it is most insurance companies.

In the U.S. I guarantee you that most insurance companies are NOT doing this. What this company is doing is called "Bad Faith" in insurance jargon. And the penalties for this sort of behavior are enormous, and can even include the possibility of the company losing its license to sell insurance in a particular state.

> The insurance industry as a whole is seriously messed up and congress seems unwilling to do anything about it.

Congress doesn't do much with insurance because insurance in the U.S. is regulated at the state level, not the federal level.

The train also has 740 passengers. 56 Tesla model 3 could fit 280 people (a bit tight in the middle back seat).

Yeah now that I dig in a little further it looks like it's not as clear cut as I thought. DBM read performance is better for me with larger test cases than I was initially using, though I am getting some weird performance hiccups when I use very large test cases. It looks like I'm too late to edit my top level response to reflect that.
You cannot have a conversation about "crypto games" without addressing how crypto makes the game better. For the sake of this conversation, it doesn't particularly matter how fun CryptoKitties is. What matters is how does the blockchain integration make the game better than it would otherwise have been.

From my point of view so far, even the best crypto game out there would have been better if it wasn't for the crypto aspect of it.

If this ecosystem is to provide value beyond the potential for making money, then what is it? It's hard to be excited about something that only has downsides.

For lots of measures you're correct, but that's not really true for all cases. Even in highly-metric France they use but cuiellères a soupe and so forth in addition to mL, because it's a more convenient measure. An egg matches with about a cup of flour for a batter--eggs don't exist in fractional powers of ten.

I also think (again in common household uses like setting a thermostat or talking about the weather or a fever) a fractional degree celsius is false precision, since you can't feel it, and a whole degree celsius is too coarse, so something that ranges from 0-100 in the temperatures you're likely to encounter is better than a scale which ranges from 0-100 over (the equally arbitrary) liquid phase of water. Of course it's marginal, but it's not entirely true that (unlike the metric system) all these measures are totally arbitrary.

There are advantages and disadvantages to these systems. If you have to convert inches to miles a lot--yeah, the metric system performs much better for that. But conversions of scale or dimension--while extremely common in science and engineering--are not likely in common usage, while fractional division is much more common. It's likely that you don't recognize the advantages of an alternate system merely because you're unfamiliar with it.
You’d have to be grandmaster-level for this to be true.
Dishwashers are (mostly) stupid for single people and maybe couples. They're very useful for families or other shared kitchen arrangements and are actually pretty efficient for water and energy use. Timewise, depends on the dishwasher and the number of dishes involved. They can also be more hygienic thanks to getting to (and sustaining) higher temperatures and using stronger chemicals for cleaning (though that can also have downstream, literally, impacts too).
Attempting to contact a media department that does not exist is a sisyphean task.

One wonders why news outlets attempt to contact a media department that does not exist, and that they know does not exist.

Perchance it is so that they can remind the reader that the media department at Tesla does not exist?!?

The worst number input that I've seen is some Windows input, in which the value must always be valid and in the allowed range. So, say, the current value is ‘300’ and you want ‘100’—but you can't backspace over the ‘3’ and enter ‘1’. If the value is ‘350’ and you want ’100’, you can't even select ’35’ and type ‘10’, because the input will freak out midway and immediately replace the value with the allowed minimum. Moreover, how do you even type the number you want if the input can't be empty? If the minimum is 20, you can't ever type anything from scratch without doing some select-replace gymnastics, because every digit will be immediately replaced with the value 20.

Can't remember which app it was, and if it was a standard input from one of the dozen MS frameworks—but the testers on it must've been mightily incompetent. Imagining for a second that someone worked on that is like catching a glimpse into an abyss of pure stupidity. After this horror I'm quite relaxed about problems with inputs that at least allow me to type the damn number.
> The problem with cardinal systems is that political parties will tell their followers "just vote 10.0 for me and 0.0 for everyone else".

Of course parties will try to convince people to do that. The question is whether voters will listen.

It's extremely easy to prove to yourself that, if my ranked preferences are O'TruePreference is better than Doe who is better than McBadGuy, then this ballot:

Evil McBadGuy: 0
John Doe 10.0
Andre O'TruePreference 10.0

... is strictly better than this one, regardless of how other people vote:

Evil McBadGuy: 0
John Doe 10.0
Andre O'TruePreference 0

> Enough people will do that to obviate the other advantages.

I know this happened with Approval Voting, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll happen to Score Voting. It's likely that voters just didn't read the directions, and thought that if they voted for more than one candidate their ballot would be discarded.

In many cases, it's easier to support. You control the hardware serving the application to your users. You have access to more information for troubleshooting issues your user may have. You can better predict how many paying users you will have and be able to allocate support staff more effectively. You can ensure more of your users are on the latest version of the application.
In addition to voters changing their minds (which is possible based on additional time, media coverage, research, debates, etc) there are other ways a runoff could change the results:

* People who previously didn't vote learn about the situation and participate.

* People who previously didn't indicate a preference between two candidates think more and vote accordingly.

Your impression of Tesla is obviously not shared by the masses, or the masses wouldn’t continue buying Tesla vehicles in mass quantities.
Well it sounds like we agree then. There's no reason for a city to hollow out its neighborhoods to make space for the cars of people who drive into town once a year.
It would require an amendment to article 1, section 3 of the US constitution which explicitly requires that senators should serve staggered terms, with 1/3 of the senate up for reelection every 2 years.

This was done intentionally to make it difficult for the Senate membership to be swept in a landslide at the same time as the House, which can happen to the House every two years.

Compared to the House, the Senate was intended to be a more deliberative body, changing its composition on a longer timescale, and less responsive to short-term political opinion. Whether or not that works as intended is certainly debatable, but every time we change the Senate to work more like the House it raises the question of why we should bother having a bicameral legislature if both chambers are increasingly similar.
> This is the good brand and model according to reviews

Any half-decent review should mention both out-of-the-box colors and "calibrated" colors, or colors in different modes.

Its kinda open secret that the default modes and settings of TVs are absolute bullshit. Most "good" TVs can be adjusted to decent color reproduction (albeit not always without compromises).

It feels like the tide might be turning; stuff like "Filmmaker Mode(tm)" is popping up, and generally people are becoming more aware of the stuff. But that is not without its downsides, just recently there was a story about how big-box stores are price gouging unaware consumers with their "calibration" services that they are very aggressively selling with TVs.
