Unless you are a federal prosecutor, law enforcement officer, or bank executive that has actively worked on a Bank Secrecy Act case, I don't think you can authoritatively state that this sort of cowboy-style, "Move Fast and Break Things" way of blitz-scaling revenues while downscaling customer service favored by companies such as Stripe has ANYTHING to do with the Bank Secrecy Act.

If anything, I would bet that regulators would be concerned about the fact that companies such as Stripe have triggered a race to the bottom whereby underwriting has become an after-the-fact exercise that can severely damage and/or kill a high-growth SME. The old way, where you filled out a ton of paperwork, provided every bit of information possible about you and your business, and then went back and forth with a human to get approval, was a much more stable way to business. But alas, when you've got former bank governors on your payroll and political mega-PAC donors on your cap table, people don't scrutinize very much.
No one who downvoted this is a serious reader. I would much rather jettison a bad book or movie than waste the one life I have on material that doesn’t make my life better in some way.
I'm sorry I'm trying to follow your argument here. Are you saying that because you have never been carjacked or mugged in the loop that it has never happened to anyone else? Or that because you had one rapid response by the police that all police responses are rapid?

I grew up in Chicago, many of my family and friends still live there. I would categorize your experience as both atypical and extremely privileged. You should hesitate before extrapolating.

Even tech people became like the old school folks complaining about charging for fixing a computer or the ol' "$500 for a website!?".

People get spoiled with so many free services and content provider around them and never consider that someone has to actually pay for it. Even tech people live in this ever-blooming software industry with above average paychecks, perks and benefits, but never think about who is really covering for that.

Software development is expensive, value it can provide is high, businesses provide SaaS to enable companies to attract them and pay for the value they use and get. There will always be attempts at price manipulations, but if software is used and business is profitable - the price is reasonable.

Tell HN: Locked out of Gmail account even after right password, recovery email
My mom got locked out of her 10yr gmail account. She doesn't have access to the phone number she added for 2FA. This is after she has the right password and also has access to the recovery email.

This basically locked her out of her whole online life because for all other social accounts she uses sign in with Google.

There is no human support, and their support website says if you cannot recover the account, create a new one.
I’ve been saying this for years instead he whines and cries and whimpers for three movies to get it there.

If this is all there is I don't see what makes iMessage _really good_ like the top comment emphasized. Comparing iMessage with FB Messenger (my main messenger) on the points you described:

1. Seems a bit subjective, I tend to dislike carousels

2. I guess I haven't used memoji to fairly compare this, but when it comes to stickers I liked FB messenger's offering more

3. Messenger does this as well, with balloons instead of confetti iirc

4. Dynamic Islands requires iPhone 14 right? Seems like less of an iMessage feature and more of an iPhone 14 feature. As for Siri integration, I don't use Google Assistant much but I believe it can also reply on whatsapp/messenger, you just have to specify "WhatsApp" or "Messenger" in the command

5. When it comes to animations and other small UI quirks, a lot of it is subjective. I prefer Messenger's UI over iMessage, but probably because I'm used to it
It sounds like she's arguing states are slowly (not suddenly) starting to ignore federal authorities:

> Slowly but surely, the states have begun to challenge Washington’s authority. States have always had more power than the Federal Government, but now they are exercising that local power where it matters – on social issues. The state-level abortion bans now involve state-level enforcement. You can try to leave the state for an abortion, but the state will use your digital evidence trail to pursue you well past state lines now. The US used to be a federal nation. It is reverting to being a collection of local states that each has and deploys more authority than the Federal Government. The US has arguably become too big to govern.
> Envoy is great, but it's written in C++ instead of Rust, and it feels like such a missed opportunity.

This comment sounds too cargo-cultish to be taken seriously.

> We didn't want to blow up production traffic - millions of dollars of transactions - because of stupid memory management and pointer blunders.

You might be surprised to learn that C++ is the tool of the trade of the high frequency trading sector. The key factor is that people who actually work on millions of dollars of transactions do make technicalll decisions instead of blindly going the fanboy path.
Yes, this is something I had to learn over the years. I always had this notion that I HAD to finish something (book, movie) to be able to express the opinion on it. Now, if I dont enjoy it I just stop reading and when I’m asked what did I think of it I simply answer that I didnt finish because xyz. It gives you so much more time resulting in reading something you actually enjoy.
Great writeup. I’m not exactly sure what popls value add is, but selling a digital business card profile for 77$/year is outrageous. Just tape an nfc tag into your case, they cost cents and you can do with them whatever you like.

Apart from all the childish spaghetti talk, etc. i am wondering
if all the removal of code and inlining of functions has some negative side effects (on maintainability, stability, bugs).

The style of the post makes me think this is some child relentlessly removing structure and security checks...

edit: at least the function was not inlined in code but with some compiler flag.
NSTL (Pronounced Install)
Have you ever been working on a project and ran "yarn install pkg" only to realize that the project you are working on doesn't use yarn so now you have to delete the yarn lock file and re-run the command with npm? Welcome to the future!! Just use "nstl" and you don't have to care about which package manager to use, or which arguments to use. Is it --save-dev or --dev? No one cares. use whichever one you want.
Yep, no one's ever happy :P. I wish I was a little shorter, plane and bus rides are a literal pain and I don't see any real benefit of being 1.90m when 1.80 - 1.85m would be enough.

That said I'm perfectly ok and wouldn't get surgery even if it was a routine thing, but I don't see any real benefit and only a few annoyances. (Buying clothes or bikes, not all chairs are comfy to sit on, etc).

I found that the more you carry your child the less she cries. I was just carrying my child wherever I went with a strap around my front, which I found more practical than a buggy until she became too heavy.

I read a study that children that are carried all the time cry a substantial amount less than children that are not, something like half an hour less per day.
I used a headset yesterday - and I had no idea if the sound was good / bad or great.

I tried to test the level using the zoom app - and it made me feel that the mic with the logitec H540 was not picking up as well as my older logi headset was.. but that could be the app not showing well or maybe it was showing fine and I was just used to / expecting it to give visual indicator all the way to the edge of the moving graphic when I raised my voice - but it did not..

I ended up using google meet - and did not get any complaints about being hard to hear.. but I really want some visual indicators to show me more info - and I guess a record and play back at different voice levels - would be nice to get an idea of how things would sound to those on the other end of a video call.

Of course what others hear will also depend if they are listening via headset, good or bad headphones, a laptop speaker or 3.1 system and such.
The popular image of the inquisition is mostly untrue.

While they did use torture (but keep in mind that torture was practically the standard way of obtaining a confession or validating a witness’ statement, both in roman and in later trials) and sentence people to death, the great majority of the Inquisition’s sentences were not of this kind.
That's not bad. Bad is if my credit card that's in Uber starts showing interesting charges...
Nah, it was totally common, at least in Europe - and way past medieval ages. Come to Czechia and visit literally any random castle - there's archeological evidence of brutal torture at practically every single one (and there are dozens/hundreds). There are rooms and rooms full of original torture instruments as well as marks of usage on them. Every castle has at least the "hladomorna" - a deep pit where they threw a person and then forgot about them until they died of starvation. Very extensive torture dungeons with elaborate machinery are usual too. And the books that mention it are less literature and more administrative records.

Look into the demo scene and their multiple groups and events for hyperoptimised assembly on sometimes exotics platforms.

Alternatively, reverse engineering and vulnerability research is, while less focused on writing assembly and more on understanding it, another area where you'll find competent people.
One thing that helps is choosing a technology you already know to achieve the learning you desire.

For example, if you want to learn Qt, and you know only C++, don't bother with Python. It will help you focus on the framework 100%. Machine learning, albeit a different beast, can be tackled the same way.

Start small with the things that you can quickly learn and understand and then move to more advanced topics.

> Can't take the CEO seriously because he isn't directly affected? That makes no sense.

Can’t take him sincerely. He states his motivation in the article but it’s easily buried in insincere fluff and more than enough victim blaming. It’s clear he wants corporate employees back in the office, and wants to frame crime as the reason for that not meeting his preferred expectations. But crime, which he speaks of the same as overdosing and homelessness “issues” are what he’s addressing, rather than actual reasons people don’t want to work in his corporate offices. And more importantly to me, rather than addressing the real suffering homeless people and addicts are experiencing and real solutions to help them.

Hmm. The author's problem is not with <input type=number> conceptually, which would be fine if properly supported by browsers, i.e. in the ideal world.

In the real world, however, the browsers apparently
a) don't prevent users from entering incorrect values
b) don't allow the developer to do anything about it programmatically, by preventing access to these incorrect values (always returning empty).

The author brings attention to this problem.

Now it's up to you as a developer to decide whether the benefits of using <input type=number> outweigh the costs, but the costs are real and you need to be aware of them.
All they really do is handle tokenization and pci compliance. They're not an active participant in the financial process, basically just a technical proxy. Thus no risk (to them) of charge backs or anything like that, so aside from you not paying your bill, they would have little to no reason to nuke your account.

Policing is only one part of the equation and I doubt that violent gangs can be broken up without resorting to tough measures. The trick is that this needs to be combined with social policies to disincentivize repeat offenders and to prevent youths from starting at all by having ample economic opportunities.And there are other measures like decriminalizing drugs which can reduce the economic profit of crime.

I'm sort of dumbfounded that your comments are even controversial... this exact same thing played out in dozens of cities in the 30s-50s. In the upper midwest Minneapolis, St Paul, and Milwaukee all had/have exactly the same issues for the same reasons.

U of M has a whole website mapping racial covenants[0] here in the Twin Cities, and the Wikipedia article about redlining[1] is pretty thorough, discussing exactly what you're bringing up.

Do people just not actually believe how racist everything used to be? And how decades of disinvestment leading to violence just might possibly lead to generational issues?

i had a binatone pong game that sounds like it was based on this chip. It had a bunch of variants of pong you could play based on moving a couple of physical sliders -- squash (bounced off a wall), football (two bars per player), etc.

The crazy thing was that if you turned the sliders just right, you could also play "off menu" games which had combinations of the attributes of the official ganes. I guess this was down to some of the tricks described here. It certainly confused me a lot when I learnt to program: you can't just compose two games together by half-clicking on an option!

> Instead of being used for something useful

Bitcoin uses less energy than YouTube. Wether you think having a decentralized, global monetary system that gives everyone an opportunity to own sound money that the government cannot take away is more or less useful than YouTube is of course something everyone is entitled to have an opinion on.

It might be that you are correct, it is too early to tell, but you are no the final judge of what is useful in the world or not, so this quote is just your personal opinion and nothing more.
It largely dropped the "memorize this set of symbol-pushing rules then apply them to a long list of exercises" version of differential/integral calculus found in typical introductory textbooks, in favor of a "make up a model for a situation, then program a simulation into a computer and see what happens" approach. That makes for a radically different experience for students.

It’s hard to simply say this is “better”: it depends what skills and content you are trying to teach. The more computing-heavy version arguably does a lot better job quickly preparing students to engage with scientific research literature (because differential equations are a fundamental part of the language of science). But it might make it harder for students to e.g. dive into a traditional electrodynamics course intended for future physicists, full of gnarly integrals to solve.

Most of the people proposing even more significant departures (in content or style) aren’t writing introductory undergrad textbooks.
It's amazing how superior you've let yourself feel while not addressing anything.

> Most of the time an "API Gateway" provides nothing.

This personal assertion only holds if you somehow chose to adopt a component that you need, or blindly adopt components even though you have no idea what you're doing. Discussing these scenarios is pointless and a waste of time though.

Meanwhile, reverse proxies and ingress controllers are fundamental components in any service that outgrows a box under the desk, and a API Gateway is nothing more than a specialized reverse proxy whigh offers some high level features as part of it's happy path.
I think it may be being down voted as it can he read as saying stop reading entirely rather than just stop reading a particular book, ie an attack on reading as an activity. Doubt the comment was meant that way though and I agree with you, dropping a particular book if it's not rewarding is something I do although I do still struggle with myself when doing so.
This is why I’m surprised by people rewatching tv shows and movies, rereading books, etc. You have a limited amount of time before you die and an, effectively, infinite amount of material to consume. Most of it is dross, but enough isn’t that there is no time to revisit.
Nitpick for anyone involved in this project:

> Plasma Bigscreen turns your TV or setup-box into a fully hackable device

I know what you meant, but given the concerns people have with privacy of their TVs, smart devices, and in general the security of their internet connected home, describing something that turns your TV into being "fully hackable" feels like it's ripe for misunderstanding.
This looks really great. I know it's expensive for the image quality, but this TV will probably outlive most consumer TVs since it's made for 24/7 operation.
