Fraud on Zelle P2P (Person to Person) Payment System [pdf]
Fraud and theft are rampant on Zelle – and are increasing. The four banks that reported the relevant data received scam and fraud claims in excess of $90 million in 2020, and are on pace to receive scam and fraud claims in excess of $255 million in 2022.

Banks are not repaying the vast majority of cases where customers were fraudulently induced into making payments on Zelle. Overall, four banks that provided data reported over 190,000 cases of scams – cases where customers reported being fraudulently induced into making payments on Zelle – involving over $213 million of payments in 2021 and the first half of 2022. In the vast majority of these cases, the banks did not repay the customers that were defrauded. Overall the three banks that provided full data reported repaying customers in only 9.6% of scam claims, and repaid only $2.9 million, representing 11% of payments.

Banks are not repaying customers who contest “unauthorized” Zelle payments – potentially violating federal law and CFPB rules. Zelle claims to have a “zero liability policy” for cases in which a bad actor gains access to a consumer’s Zelle account. But the data provided by the banks revealed that they reimbursed consumers for only 47% of the dollar amount of cases in which customers reported these unauthorized payments on Zelle in 2021 and the first half of 2022.
This seems the epitome of "AI applications" that ride on human
weakness, insecurity and disconnection. It's an application for people
who have no friends. Any other sincere and observant human being can
help you be a better communicator if you feel comfortable asking them
to criticise your performance.
You can argue that but I've seen plenty of production systems relying on dynamically typed languages where breaking third-party dependency changes were indeed undetectable until a new version was deployed and particular features stopped working at runtime. It's certainly not unheard of for the same to occur with statically typed languages but at least there's a whole class of potential errors that are caught automatically by compilers/linkers with no extra work on behalf of the programmers. And even when errors do occur at runtime due to JIT compilation etc. they're more likely to have helpful information attached to them. Either way, all the automated tests in the world aren't likely to catch a problem that's related to incorrect library versions being loaded from some global cache that you have limited control over (having moved back from SaaS to on-prem based software recently I've been very quickly reminded of that reality!).
With regards to differentiating prices of products by category over time, this chart looks relevant: http://www.roseassociates.ca/20-years-of-price-changes-in-th...

"The Price of Tomorrow" by Jeff Booth really nails this concept.
Thanks for trying it out. It's not really meant to be a social network, it's more like a multiplayer tool. We wanted a lightweight piece of software where you can post links and your friends can see them in a feed. Something like newsletters or RSS feeds or Twitter without ads, recommended topics and replies. When you have a couple of friends with a similar need, blnk instantly provides value, no network effect needed.

Network effects do matter of course, but more in a context of app’s distribution, I think.

A few researchers, notably Alan Aragon and Brad Schoenfeld did a lot of analysis on protein timing research a while back and the general conclusion is that as long as you get enough protein during the course of the day (or within a few hours of your workout), basically it doesn't matter so much.

At top levels it gets closer -- often human play is compared to engine play and people will discuss which moves were 'engine-like' vs 'human', and a significant achievement would be to play the engine moves on every turn. Although it should be said that engine moves are not always necessarily the best moves positionally, nor the moves with the highest win % versus a human (because you can 'trick' a human, whereas the engine can't trick itself so it will never prefer a move like that)... but they are always the best moves tactically.

In middling ratings, if I was allowed to look at the engine (in a Lichess replay for instance) I'd guess I can tell a player using the engine with 99+% accuracy. People _always_ lose on tactics (or misplayed opening lines, misplayed endgames, etc). Engines never do. At high ratings I assume this goes down, especially if the players are playing 'boring' draw-ish lines, in which the best moves are fairly obvious most of the time.
Just because you hide a big bag of cash where no one can find it, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s yours, just that you have it.

If the US government says that it has lawfully seized your bitcoin, then by law the US government owns the bitcoin, even if they don’t possess it. If you’re successfully keeping it from them, they can and will punish you for it. Again, as FormerBandmate said, that’s the basis of their power.

May I suggest that you misinterpreted his course as being reflective of the general state of chemistry nomenclature pedagogy in the 1970s?

IUPAC was solidly in place long before then.

That of course doesn't mean trivial names weren't - and aren't! - still widely in use and thus require memorization, but only that "IUPAC naming was just appearing" doesn't seem to be correct as a general description of the time.
Surprisingly good prompt inspiration for Stable Diffusion

BUCHAREST (Romania), October 4 (SeeNews) - Romania is to receive up to 1.4 billion euro ($1.38 billion) for energy independence projects through the European Commission's REPowerEU program, the finance ministry said on Tuesday.

The amount is double compared to the European Commission's initial May proposal to grant Romania approximately 720 million euro under the REPowerEU programme, the finance ministry said in a press release.

"The regulation also provides the opportunity to fight energy poverty by funding assistance programs for disadvantaged categories," finance minister Adrian Caciu said.

On Tuesday, the European Union's Ecofin Council gave the green light to the REPowerEU initiative.

REPowerEU is an initiative developed by the European Union in response to the current geopolitical energy market realities, which will assist member states become energetically independent from Russia before 2030.

It is, it falls out of the physics of VTOL vs. fixed wing flight. It's so extreme that cargo helicopters have to fly forwards to take off at MTOW, because it dramatically lowers the power required to get the aircraft off the ground relative to taking off vertically. You can minimise the impact in the mission requirements, but there's a reason hover and VTOL are typically specialist requirements. They tend to be very costly in terms of endurance.

I can’t comment on netlink but there does seem to be a lack of innovation in FreeBSD of late. Everything has to be done the same way Linux does it or there’s little adoption and at that point you might as well just use Linux. There has to be some differentiation or why bother?

Government had bo legal right to the bitcoin. Innocent until proven guilty, means the government stole the bitcoin in a criminal attempt to deny him an adequate defense.

You can’t “steal” your own property.

It is a metaphor, and as such, has it limits. Of course there are better ways to exercise your brain than calculus. That is just a way. Is the best? I don't know honestly. I personally found algebra much more interesting as a brain opener.

Basic ideas of calculus come up everyday in life: interest rates, credits, statistics. If you want to understand some physics, it is very useful. Can you understand physics without derivatives? Yes, but not as good as with them.

Like everything is a compromise. One possibility would be that each person has a couple of teachers that go with him/her in a way or learning specifically tailored. The other extreme is to teach absolutely the same thing from 1st grade until graduate to everybody... the compromise is to separate it in primary/secondary/tertiary education and let choose paths. Everybody will have to learn things that will never be used "in life". We have to get over it.
HN without the comments is actually a pretty good tagline :D

Thanks for the idea. I'll think about how to better preview what's inside on the outside.

Ah the old “violence makes it moral” argument.

The government cannot do those things under the law, but only by violating the laws.

I guess the same apply to home alarm systems that typically use 433/838mhz. Experienced a bit with that at home, and sure, could break into my own house without tripping the alarm. But I assume the alarm system is able to detect that jamming is occurring, but the alarm company did not send anyone.

The door magnetic sensor is easily bypassed with a strong neodyne magnet, but you most likely need an accomplice as you most close the door while still holding the magnet over the sensor from the outside - might be possible to do it alone if you have two magnets. Found a YouTube video of that in action https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pPsSraQ3wlo

Next thing I want to try is to blind the motion sensors with strong IR light, but have not found time for that yet.

I'm slightly confused about

squares: !core/ndarray-1.0.0

This is supposed to be a format, but a numpy array is a python concept. So that seems like a weird mismatch. And it is just a block of numbers really, so it seems odd to make it a special python thing.

I also wasn't able to see how to store more complicated data, like a symmetric sparse matrix.
Seizing is a legal construct. It's not "I'm grabbing hold" seizing. It's the "I've had a judge validate that legally I am now the owner" variant.
The trouble I have is, that Hans is 19. Given the accusations and his own confession, he is a life long cheater in contrast to traditional GMs. Hans confessed to have cheated at age 12 and 16.

Since cheating is arguable habit forming, he simply based his career on cheating. Where others put in the mileage, he invested in his cheating expertise.

History in Austria is 2 years about how Hitler was the bad guy and Austria had zero fault in WW2, was essentially forced into everything.

We all knew that's not the truth. The teacher knew, but that is what the text book said so we learned it.

My point is, while history is important it shouldn't be a marked lesson where you just have to remind right and wrong facts.

v6 works like v4, arp and ndp work the same (down to subcommand to invoke them: they're under "neighbor") everything uses the same verbiage: add/delete/change/set.

none of this sillyness where you need one command to show the routing table 'netstat -rn' and another to manipulate the routing table 'route add/delete/change' (and then v4 uses -mask and v6 uses -prefixlen, etc etc)
Also, it would be inefficient to have an unemployment rate near 0. People in a good job market need to leave bad jobs, and sometimes that means that they are unemployed.
Yeah sure, violent cultural imperialism, with forced relocations, forced re-education, children taken away, men killed is totally the same as me, a white middle european dude, deciding the software they wrote for themselves might serve others and putting it on github.

Colonialization and slavery have produced magnitudes more of human suffering.

A bit off topic, but can we please stop calling people "consumers"? It's such a weird and patronising term, not to mention completely unnecessary when "people" does a better job.
Here's how I see the relationship:

Calculus helps define the underlying rules for the higher-level (simpler by appearance) math we use daily. "I know, I can solve this with calculus!" is unlikely to ever come up, but the vague idea that there's something there you can dig into when you need to can be helpful in rare edge cases, where other people might be lost.

An example using programming languages: If all you've ever been exposed to was python, and no CS, you may never have considered why using "insert" on a list may be slow. Python presents it as a single function call, so you probably think of it as a single operation and don't go any further. That's the equivalent of the higher-level (simpler by appearance) math. But if you've been exposed to something lower-level, like C where you may well have implemented "insert" yourself on an array, or general CS concepts where you had to use big-O notation, you'll probably have in the back of your mind "yeah, that's not a single operation, it's doing more stuff in the background". Usually not something you need to think about, until you hit that edge case where it's suddenly running really slowly.

Remember very early on in education when you had to memorize various equations like area of a circle? Those equations can be generated from basic calculus. One I could never remember was area of a sphere, until one day when I was bored at my part-time job, found a pencil and scrap of paper, and decided to see if I could use what I'd just learned in class to derive it. And it worked, and I've never forgotten that equation since, because instead of it just being a series of numbers and letters to memorize, each part now has meaning.

Is this a value judgement or you're just saying? "This app rides on human weakness" sounds like negative framing at least. Because yes, if you had good observant friends, it reduces the need for this for sure. But the human weakness, insecurity and disconnection is already there, and some people have no friends and have trouble communicating well. I think it's good to be skeptical of instances of this kind of work in terms of the details like how it respects the users privacy and treats their data sensitively, and whether or not it's selling an effective method, but at least it's sort of aimed towards good.

Also ad tech is the epitome of AI applications that ride on human weakness ;)

My alarm system can be annoying with false positives from deliveries and people walking by from time to time, but in spite of the maintenance in feeding and poop scooping, the K9 alarm system does have some oxytocin perks.

> Money is not the only motivator in the world.

Money + law are the media through which the most well-defined & extensible social structures are expressed. In the U.S. (as example) it's nonstandard to work outside of this.

Obviously they're not the same but the struggle of open source does seem to be one face of a much older struggle. How does someone engage in a sustainable, nonexploitative social contract. How do I trade my cool gizmos that have some benefit to society for food, without having to sell my soul or play some game. Etc.
Are you sure everything has? Smart appliances in particular are typically terrible with security, so having access to their network certainly gives you an edge.
