Autodesk loves to buy companies to eliminate the competition. The newly bought software exists for a while but soon, they simply eliminate it like they did with Softimage. Adobe does the exact same thing of buying competition and then destroying it. Softimage was well loved, so was Director. Director may have been a product without future, but adobe mismanaged Flash so that's gone forever and with it thousands of sites that had great content.

If I never use another adobe product in my life, I'm fine with that totally.

The argument you hear, is this is how CableTV started. Pay for Ad-free TV. Then they started a few ads, then they added lots of ads to to the subscription you were paying for... but people could not give it up. It's not altogether unreasonable to make the comparison.

I'd recommend driving classes/suspension before revocation on a second offense over 60 months, but at a certain point, I'd agree some people shouldn't be on the road.

A teenager who gets into repeated accidents is probably a good example of someone who'll probably turn out fine once they grow up a little, but something like ADHD could easily continue to be a problem if they don't get it addressed. I'm not sure if there are places where a person can be required to be medicated to drive (like some people are required to have glasses/contacts or supplemental oxygen anytime they are driving) but it wouldn't be a bad idea.
I would still recommend you change your payment backend to direct your customer payments via one or more "backup" processors asap. Perhaps leave Stripe altogether if you prefer, once that's done, or keep Stripe around as the backup.

After all, they have a track record of screwing you over again, after fixing and checking your account. Whatever triggered that could do it again when you least expect it, despite Edwin's good work. Probably the triggers haven't changed as you are still running the same business.

(Like several other commenters, I was thinking of using Stripe as a main payment processor before seeing this article because of their great API, documentation, test mode and ease of setup. They seemed like a good choice, but I had wrongly assumed they were reasonable and reliable and if there were issues they could be resolved; that I didn't need to worry about Stripe being shady themselves. Now I've learned Stripe is like the Paypal of old when it comes to killing a business abruptly with no warning or recourse. That's so severe it cancels out every benefit and feature. With much disappointment I now feel it will be necessary to evaluate other services instead.)
Exactly my point. Maybe I got lucky, but to have gotten that lucky in the first place, I'd have to have world-class running speed at all.

Generating image compositions sounds fairly difficult to do by random. If you took 3 different objects and randomly placed them in a square canvas, the odds that they'd look reasonably placed seem pretty low. So 3/5 correct seems like a non-trivial accomplishment.
You have just summarized every SaaS in the last 10 years. A froghop to higher profits. I wonder if there's a better way to do it.
That's what I was describing, yes.
You implied when you said:

> Most of us have not had any of these faults in years. Zero. I cannot even remember the last time I had one. Or even saw one.

Implying it's an issue of just not making mistakes/getting better people/etc.

So rather than relying on a strict borrow checker or a GC runtime, you rely that people won't make mistakes.

Stake or work,

smart contracts remain not just a failed experiment, but a horribly horribly horribly failed experiment with a lot of broken dreams and broken people in their wake.

Yay for removing one of the more egregious of the ten things fundamentally wrong with this, I guess.
Someone made an effort to do a full protocol port to Erlang and I have a friendly fork I’m maintaining that makes it work better with the C version as used by Godot. Seems to work with unreliable/reliable/unsequenced packets but never tested in anger, much less production!

I don’t want to derail the thread but I have a link to my GitHub in my profile - I’m working on a few things:
1. the aforementioned Erlang ENet fork
2. My generic Erlang game server called Overworld
3. A client plugin for Godot that generates a lot of the boilerplate code needed to encode/decode messages between Godot and Overworld (protobuf used for serialization)
4. An implementation of a subset of GDScript called Gdminus written in Erlang, including a simple interpreter. The idea being to have a familiar language for Godot programmers to be able to script Overworld someday- or more generally as a toy white space significant language that runs in the BEAM.

Honestly they’re all toys right now but happy to chat more via email!
> It almost feels like there's some secret government organization tasked with upholding religious values telling payment processors to fuck with random accounts and swearing them to secrecy. I obviously don't believe that, but it's equivalent to the scale of whatever is going on due to natural causes.

Operation Choke Point pretty much worked like that.

I don't have a problem with the government fucking with the cannibis business given that it's still federally illegal, but the messing with legal businesses needs to stop.
You underestimate the impact of piracy in developing countries. It’s true that almost no one bought games at full price, so Sony was only seeing unit sales.

However, once these countries developed further and the people who grew up with PS consoles started to make more money, guess which consoles and games these people decided to buy? Hint: it wasn’t Xbox!

Long story short, easy access to piracy was a gateway to future PS game sales in many developing countries.
I am dissapoint.

Well, signalling is generally the result of marketing. So if a brand is exposed to be crap, people stop trying to use it to signal.

Unfortunately, unlike a LV purse or Nike sneakers, an alma mater is very difficult to change. So you have an existing, powerful group of people out there that are very interested in protecting the brand of their alma mater.

Yes, unfortunately all of Japan has jumped headfirst into something called "hi-res audio" which is a complete scam, as CD audio is already the highest quality something mixed for humans could possibly need to be. I'd like to think it's an excuse to stop doing loudness war mastering, but it's probably just as bad.

The real problem with CD audio is that it's premixed in stereo, and the real next step is Atmos/spatial audio. Just because you only have two ears doesn't mean you can't hear 360 degrees.
Yes.

We have established that during onboarding a person enters their home address.

My question is different.

What sort of regulation or mandate forces an employer to keep checking over the employee's shoulder? And how does reasonable get defined in this context ?
In other words, what mandates exist for companies to force them to play big brother , and also define what tests must be done when playing big brother ?

And why does the employer come in defense of a state with which the company has no tax-nexus otherwise?

Only after said government tried to get him to turn over all information about everyone who viewed the video, read the MF or even commented on the shooting. (OC all occurring AFTER the fact/shooting) All happening right around the same time the government there was literally locking people up for merely viewing any of it. Full police state kind of tactics. He told them to fuck off when they demanded he help them hunt down unrelated innocent people.

Again, this isn't happening on "their platform", they aren't hosts, only acting as network infrastructure. Which is and should always remain neutral.. For the survival of the internet and for freedom!

Two of the founders of Adept AI are authors on the paper 'Attention Is All You Need'. If you don't understand the significance of that, then you're speaking well outside of what you're qualified to comment on. The company has also raised capital from top tier SV investors.

Runway ML has raised money from Lux Capital.

These companies are not just well-resourced, they are positioned in the upper echelon of the innovation business.
Without imaging technologies that are taken for granted for granted today, I think the role of the neurosurgeon was essentially to drill burr holes for suspected hemorrhages.
Ok, fungible electricity. And unless it is consumed immediately it expires. Electricity doesn't magically transport itself to where people can use it.

I totally get that piracy may not necessarily hurt dev in term of income. But I feel a few other things always seem to be left out in the discussion about this topic.

1) it is totally unfair for the honest buyers if other people can get it for free in an "illegal" way.

2) The IP holders may simply don't want people to get there work for free, irrespective of the fact "they are not going to buy it anyway!". I've seen lots of indie artists express such opinion.

Ultimately, I don't think that's something bystanders have a say. You (general you, not "you" you) can't force your "rational analysis on economy of privacy" on the IP holders. Large game companies obviously almost only care about the profit, so you may assume they think that way. But that can't be applied to everyone.
I didn't know Helmand was owned by the Karzais! I splurged there a bunch when I was in college!
Sure, so that's a good thing to think about when implementing your logic. But it's not like you don't have to think about localization at all if you use type="number", and imo the downsides outweigh the upside of having the browser handle this one case for you

It creates a provable, transferable, composable, tamper-proof "ownership" record of the digital signature.

America is an exceptional country. Tyranny is outsourced to 'private' industry, freeing the public sector to do victory laps over how great the First Amendment is, and stuff.
Not a doctor, but also sounds like a great way to get osteoporosis.
The current pedagogy and curriculum is nowhere close to the “most efficient path” (nor is it the most intuitive, best organized, easiest to extend, ...). It’s just an arbitrary history-dependent path people happened to come up with, mostly centuries ago, and “refactoring” any of it is almost impossible.

It’s more like our current public transit system: it gets some people where they’re going, somewhat on time, but it’s generally pretty crummy and full of historical inequity.

You're thinking of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

"""
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]
""" -- Summary from Wikipedia's article.

Also from that article "One technology proposed to help deal with fragments from 1 to 10 cm (1⁄2 to 4 in) in size is the laser broom, a proposed multimegawatt land-based laser that could deorbit debris: the side of the debris hit by the laser would ablate and create a thrust that would change the eccentricity of the remains of the fragment until it would re-enter and be destroyed harmlessly.[32]"

A thought likely independently re-invented by anyone (myself included) who's seen science fiction where solar sail mirrors are used as parabolic solar reflectors often used by super villains.
The benefit over traditional electronic parking brakes is fast and accurate actuation of the brake while moving and the benefit over a cable-operated parking brake is that the electronic system can apply much more braking force (4-5x iirc) thus locking up the rear wheel more quickly with less physical effort from the driver.

> This is not inherently made possible by the blockchain itself though.

It basically is. This is impossible on Eve, if you don't have permission from the people who make Eve.

But, with something on the blockchain, you don't need permission from the person who made the original asset, on the blockchain.

The asset is on the blockchain, and it is much more difficult to stop me from using that asset, compared to a centralized Eve database.

Many YT content creators are not allowed to monetize through youtube because of content policies in place. Many more are not allowed because they can't produce the minimum traffic required in the timespan given or level of followers which force clickbait content.

Yup. It just wasn’t the time.

When 2007 rolled around, broadband internet was widely available; search, mapping, social media had caught on. People were ready to take the internet with them in their pocket.

There is an interesting footnote to the story. One of the team members, Nils Strindberg, was an early believer in cremation, and belonged to a cremation club. When his body was found, he was cremated according to his will.

In his absence, his fiancé had long since married another man. When she died, she asked that her heart be cremated. It ashes were then secretly buried by Nil's friends alongside his ashes.
I’m not sure how it could be illegal. It definitely isn’t a good natural primary key (but then I’m firmly in the “natural PKs are harmful” camp anyway). And it’s certainly too easy to leak PII by using it as a PK. But I’m struggling to imagine a coherent legal structure which accepts collecting SSN data but mandates limits on how it can be used in a database schema.
There is a difference between a news anchor saying “terrorist” and the president of the United States saying “terrorist.”

When a news anchor says it, it’s a talking point. When Obama said it, a U.S. citizen was assassinated without trial. Whenever you see the executive branch use the phrase “terrorist” to describe an American citizen you should worry.

When news anchors used it to describe protests it was a talking point. When Trump used it to describe protestors, that was cause for concern.

When news outlets used the word to describe the Jan 6th riots, it was a talking point. When Biden used it for the Jan 6 riots, that was cause for concern.

The executive branch assassinates terrorists. News anchors do not.

If you subscribe to the belief that criminal activity is a drain on society then there is a case for trying to combat it. Then it becomes a question of "do these KYC laws cost more to society than the crimes they prevent?" That is a harder question, but it is hard to overstate the amount of damage to a society rampant corruption and crime can cause and the benefits of allowing anonymous finance are somewhat more nebulous.

Just keep laughing. I'd like to hear Ray Kurzweil's view (he's working at Google and is awfully quiet.)

Human consciousness is over-rated. I'm reminded of Minsky's Society of Mind - a number of separate, communicating systems. To me, that sounds a lot like what is going on in Google, but they are hiding that.

Speed is limited with infrastructure, and France isn't exactly the US. There are not a lot of population centers like Germany which has 14 cities that have more than 500k people while France has four and 20% of the population lives around Paris anyway. You can get from the center of Paris to the center of Marseille (second largest city, other side of the country) in about three hours by TGV.

When you count in the half hour to the airport (optimistic), the security and waiting times (Europeans commonly suggest coming the the airport at least two hours before your flight), the flight is an hour and a half with Ryanair so you can also have a scratch lottery on your luxurious flight, let's say you take half an hour to get your stuff after landing and need half an hour to the city center.

TGV wins, and that's without even mentioning the smoothness of the ride, amenities, leg room, walking around, restaurants and bars. Price is the only thing that goes for air travel in this case, but that's what the government needs to fix.

> No; we want legroom.

Already done.

> We don't want that either. Isn't your electricity nuclear power anyway? What's the problem with consuming too much clean energy?

Last I heard nuclear energy still costs money, clean or not.

So, TGV is very good in this aspect, considering everything. It's not perfect, but it's good enough in more than one way.

BUT you have the technical skills to leverage yourself into a favored position, and I'm confident you can do so if you reset your outlook and your approach. Nobody's going to pay you $300k because you deserve $300k, they're going to pay it because they're making $1M in revenue.

Luckily it is easy to do validation with javascript if you properly set type=number:

if (Number.isNaN(input.valueAsNumber)) {
// If only this message could also by localized
input.setCustomValidity("Please type a number");
} else {
input.setCustomValidity("");
}

But double luckily, we don’t even need to do this as we also get this for free, and as a bonus the message is localized.
While this is clearly "a thing", I would be a fine bottle of wine that the OP's issue is not one of those things, and is just some dumb algorithmic or overworked fraud prevention contractor problem.

I would bet that 99.9% of the Stripe (and Paypal) horror stories that get posted almost weekly are _not_ federal money laundering or terrorism financing investigations with legal secrecy provisions imposed on the payment processor.

Government implements regulations about public discourse then eventually goes on to decide what is considered OK to publish and acts as a censor in the end. Since these become now effectively government driven platforms you lose the possibility of alternatives.
