An alternative explanation is that 3%, 6%, and 12% are more commonly useful and so the market meets the need. 34% H2O2 is readily available (it’s hardly “kept for industry”, but rather industry/food prep is the most common purchaser of it, just like I can buy urea or ammonium nitrate even though commercial farms are a more common user of it.)
I found Stripe API really well organized and thought out. Everything is crisp and explained well. It is complex not because of bad design choices, but because payments, especially subscriptions are complex. I've integrated both payonce and subscription payments, takes a lot of effort but that's not Stripe's fault. Payments are insanely complicated and I am actually shocked that Stripe makes all of this possible. They've really tried to make it the best posssible API. It reeks of quality. I would rather have full control than to obscure everything under the rug to make it easy.

I don't get the complaints here. Yea, it is hard to write payments workflows. Learn to properly organize your backend to account for all edge cases. Use stripe test clocks. Use mock objects and stripe CLI. Everything has been handed to you on a silver platter by Stripe IMO.
I like that too. I’ve been a daily reader here since 2007 and the sharing of 1st hand info is what makes it valuable.

Well, those systems should be used for "good" reasons... the hard part is to keep the "good" reasons actually good... not to mention who is going to be sure those systems will be used for this specific "good"? "good" fanatics?

For instance, internet mass surveillance systems, to bust killers, pedophiles, human trafikers, yeah sure, but for the movie and music industries, ppl discussing "annoying" opinions, well, certainly not. This is usually what happens: they setup surveillance systems justified for such extreme cases, but in the end they are mostly used by the movie and music industries or to get an advantage over their political oponnents.

In my country, I was working in a strategic department of a big ISP, then the government decided to start deploying an automated mass surveillance system, ONLY for the music and movie industries (I know, hardly believable)... that department would be forced by law to develop an interface with that system... and I was part of user groups against that... weirdly enough, I was fired for some non-sense reason before I could give them the finger...
> Even a normal IC at Apple has made significantly more money due to their equity compensation being granted over 4 years.

The equity compensation at Apple is ridiculous. For one they're super stingy with it. Thanks to the infestation of stack ranking only the top quintile or quartile of employees on any team (by whatever performance metric the manager decides upon) will get any RSUs. Upper management has no problem if all the RSUs allotted for a team go to only a single team member. There's a reason Apple really hates the idea of employees talking openly about compensation amongst themselves.

The only time it makes sense to sue in civil court is either:

- The damages in question would exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars

- You want to make an example out of the defendant and have lots of money to burn

- You are engaging in litigation as part of a settlement extortion scheme ala Prenda Law

America does not award legal fees to the victor - in fact, it's considered so un-American that American lawyers literally call it the British Rule[0]. As a result, small actors - which you almost certainly are - will bankrupt themselves just getting to the discovery phase, regardless of if they are plaintiffs or defendants.

In a few situations, this has become such a problem that US law either provides time-saving motions for common forms of nuisance lawsuits[1] or uses it as a way to encourage certain behaviors[2] out of litigants. However, this kind of fraud case will almost certainly not fall under such measures, and you are almost certainly too small to defend.

Representing yourself in court is technically possible but practically a death sentence to your case. And an actual lawyer would tell you exactly what I've told you, except with actual attorney-client privilege[3] involved, and they'd charge you for telling you that. Except they'd probably also add in a bunch of stuff about class-action waivers and binding arbitration[4] that would make it nearly impossible for them to represent you.

[0] I've also heard French Rule.

[1] Such as Anti-SLAPP motions, though these are not in federal law yet.

[2] The copyright registration system comes with a few key perks; notably statutory damages and the ability to recover attorney's fees. If you do not have either you cannot economically sue a copyright infringer, which sounds like a really good way to comply with Berne without complying with Berne.

[3] I am not a lawyer.

[4] For what it's worth, there are some crafty lawyers that have figured out a way to help people mass-arbitrate, but companies are trying to fight back against that too.
Literally addressed in the case, which is part of the complaint.

~~~

The circumstances surrounding Amazon’s sales to both Kristine and Ethan were
highly irregular. Amazon has a policy that people under the age of 18 can only use the service with the involvement of a parent or guardian. However, Kristine, at just sixteen, had created her own account to purchase the poisonous chemical and was never asked her age when she set up the account. The package delivered to Kristine’s home was addressed without a last name. It read only “Kristine.”

Seventeen-year-old Ethan used the account that belonged to his mother, Nikki, to purchase Sodium Nitrite. When Nikki received the email receipt for the purchase, she immediately called Amazon’s customer service to tell them there must have been some mistake and that nobody at her home had ordered the item. Amazon told Nikki the order was cancelled. Instead, the Sodium Nitrite was delivered to her home four days later.
GDPR literally bans tracking without informed user consent. Hiding that content behind dark patterns is not providing user with information.

But sure. Do tell me how it's the law that is the problem, and not the greedy leeches that present these dark patterns.

Don't worry though. A ban on dark patterns isn't far away. Once it's in effect I guess you'll blame the law for something else.

No, this is — to my best knowledge — what happened.

No one is calling anyone like this. But I see that it's intentionally provoking through obscenity. However, it is not possible to determine the boundary between “obscene” and “non-obscene” according to factual characteristics, and everything about this is subjective:

For some people graffiti is obscene, for some people kissing in public is obscene, for some people name-calling is obscene, and some aren't concerned with whatever you do.

In fact, we can see this in this discussion: I see that the domain is using the TLD to break a taboo and to get attention, but I don't see an insult in this as it's not redirected at anyone harmfully. It's all up to the reader's interpretation.

Some in-office workers in US, usually unknowingly, have their desktop web cam and other monitoring tools recording them at all times. It's sad and disgusting to say the least.

Last employer did this without the status led turned on. They also recorded, keystrokes, push notifications attached to volume changes and media players, used sslstrip/mitm on web traffic, among other things.

Sadly, wouldn't be surprised if the same has carried over to remote.
These filters will take that into account since it never has exactly been 50/60Hz. It's just the expected mean.

Maybe it's present in subsequent harmonics (e.g., 100/150/200Hz for 50Hz) as a systematic deviation from additive white noise. But, this would be difficult in practice to reliably isolate these signals via some form of component analysis.
There was a time when OS/2 Warp was marketed heavily in my country (the Netherlands) and there was quite a bit if hype around it. If you bought a new PC at the time it came with both OS/2 and Windows 3.11.

The main problem with it was that is was basically unusable on consumer hardware at the time. We got a new 80Mhz 486 with 4MB RAM around that time and it was just incredibly slow, while Win3.11 ran just fine.

With hardware advancing at an incredible pace back then, it might have had a better chance it they had delayed it by a year.
Feetr in Review: September 2022 (stock discovery algorithm)
Re-posting this as we are launching soon, and would like as many people as possible to be able to use the service for free before it becomes a subscription service. Hope that's okay!

Hey all,

This is a project that I've mentioned a couple of times in comments and the response has always been really positive.

Feetr is a stock discovery algorithm which uses social media to find stocks that people are getting excited about and looks for moments where there will (hopefully) be a lot of positive movement.

This article is a look back and how https://feetr.io performed last month. The good and the bad. It also touches on what the future will look like.

I'm posting this now because it's likely that it'll launch sometime soon and will potentially no longer be posting data for free every day. If this is something that interests you, please consider following along on Twitter at https://twitter.com/feetr_io for the recommendations.

If you prefer to see more detail, there is a daily thread over at twitter.com/0xsmcn where I discuss what stocks are being looked at and how they're performing. For example: https://twitter.com/0xsmcn/status/1575755990238367744

Any questions at all, please let me know!

As I am posting this a week later, here is what happened last week:

New headline. "Small underpowered study is published"

This might mean something as part of a meta analysis, but means nothing here.
A feature like Facebook stars (or whatever it’s called) is one way to pay publishers without paywalls. I default block medium posts on my search engine now. Until I see on HN how Medium has improved, this will remain.

To be fair I prefer Maven, but probably more for the culture. In Node you generally ask for the latest version and hope it’s still available/the project still builds when you come back to it. pom files are more clunky but they do tie you down more
PayPal has not stopped their freeze/seize gambit.

A few examples of these clauses being exercised were on HN (both cases pending)
- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29935515

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32739950

If it wasn't obvious, cherry-picking bits and pieces from various jurisdictions isn't legal; PayPal deftly deflects any legal challenges to their various dispersed entities making them essentially untouchable if you don't have unlimited resources.

If anyone is interested, in the EU, this is their playbook:

- Ignore all communications unless it's a C&D from lawyers

- Deflect responsibility to PayPal Luxembourg.

- They have, or have had literally 90% of LU lawyers retained, meaning your case will not / cannot be accepted by the majority of LU law-firms due to conflict of interest

- Deflect onto the CSSF (Luxembourg Monetary Watchdog)

- Respond to the CSSF that the complaining company is not based in Luxembourg, which results in the CSSF concluding that they are not the competent structure to rule.

- Case closed, your funds have been stolen, and PayPal has artfully dodged the relevant regulatory bodies.
Exactly. A so-called "privacy policy" may instead be a "you-have-no-privacy policy". That both are described in the same terminology is part of the problem.

Why doesn't Javascript have a standard library? As in, why has one never been made and shipped with the browser?

If I had to choose between network television and YouTube, I would choose YouTube every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I mean, I enjoy Seinfeld too, but on the whole YouTube is both more entertaining and vastly more useful and educational than network television. Not because the content has the highest production values, but because the content matches my interests and needs. That's the true power of targeted advertising. It allows creators to focus on niches that can't be served by content produced for a mass audience. Even large 'niches' get dumbed down to the lowest common denominator for network television.

Case in point: Here's Jay Leno interviewing Elon Musk about SpaceX Starship for network television [1] vs YouTuber Tim Dodd [2]. Leno's program is fine for people who don't follow space. For my niche Dodd is vastly better, but he can't draw a wide enough audience to make money on non-targeted ads like Leno can.

And the thing is, everyone has their niches. There is no large population of people out there who are average in every way and need the network television version of everything. The average person doesn't exist.

Belgians can do what they want, I guess. But we can judge empirically whether their social beliefs are pro-adaptive or mal-adaptive. Belgians are being supplanted by Muslim immigrants who definitely do not think suicide is okay. It’s unsurprising that a culture that doesn’t value life for its own sake is being out-competed by one that does.
It really is a tragedy of the commons with a changing demographic, where DINK are more prevalent that, say, 50 years ago, where most tried to contribute to raising the next generation. But the amount of entitlement still baffles me - where do these people think everyone younger than them comes from? How much time and money do they think it costs to train a human being to be a member of society, of benefit to them!, and why do they just assume it is someone else's duty to provide this to them, free of charge to them?

I have never heard mains hum as wobbly as on this site. It seems exaggerated.
I did a bit of research on the router side - seems that passive cooled boxes like protect.li ones would work very well with pfsense or opnsense. Technically any x86 machine could work, but for an always on appliance it's important to keep the power draw in mind.

"The free market" is not synonymous with "money as the primary motivator". All that a free market means is that we let natural interactions between people and groups of people drive the economy. It doesn't rely on any particular framework for how people choose what they want or how behavior is actually motivated.

As an example: I choose to work at a job that pays less than I could get elsewhere because there are intangible benefits that matter more to me. I'm able to do that because the market is free. Within the company, I fight to keep those intangible benefits prioritized because I know that they are a major selling point that will get us engineers when we can't afford to pay SV wages. That's the free market at work, but money and incentive schemes don't factor into it at all.
Oh, they ship stuff akin to one, but that's the web APIs, not a “standard” library. As in it's not really standard.
I've been programming for over half a century. I've seen a lot of programming languages come and go. They are really not that important. The reality is Domain Knowledge is the key to competency, i.e. something like device drivers, geology, or something else that's relevant to the project. The problem is recruiters don't seem to know that. As others here have said, be familiar with the basics of currently popular languages. While working with a language you can look up the rest as needed until you have mastered it.
To be clear, Amazon isn't just selling these things. They're actively promoting their sale, together. Their systems are literally encouraging the combined purchase of multiple products from different sellers in different categories to create a deadly suicide kit. Are you suggesting Amazon has no responsibility for what their systems—unprompted—promote?

You still have bugs, you just haven't found them yet. When strict typing is not available you adjust and use other tooling and tests.

Of course with a big, venerable project the balance changes drastically. But an experienced single-person project should be doable with javascript for a long while and may even get to MVP faster by focusing on things that are essential.
The verbosity of TypeScript types can be attributed to poor choice of syntax and names that became obvious retrospectively.

Still even with TypeScript if types makes your functions ugly, then it shows the complexity of the code. Often it also suggests sensible refactoring that without types would not be apparent.

Are you not contradicting yourself?

Not sure who thinks it snows in Scotland all the time either? Certainly known more for its rain I'd say. I would agree Scotland has a tendency for unusual micro-climates. I do think the measurement of frequency of snowless days in Scotland is a reasonable bellwether for climate change indicators given the details provided.

To give another observation of possible indicators of climate change effects in Scotland I have lived in a coastal town in Scotland for a little over a decade and there are strong indicators of increasing coastal erosion which I would attribute to the rising sea-levels brought about by climate change.

Are you trying to make an argument that climate change isn't real or just not happy with the reporting of this event? It's not clear to me what your actual point is.

I have no idea why it works this way these days, online fraud should have been solved a long long time ago with technology. The banks/mastercard/visa have the ability to mandate much better security mechanisms (3D Secure etc., 2FA, generating some secure token for any large purchases etc.) so why aren't these compulsory?
Do people work until 2 am on weekends? I've done it only occasionally, but if it's becoming a common thing, we should look into solving it, and not by having a 4th meal.

> If you assert that a cluster of distinctive cancers is caused by the local chemical plant, pointing out that similar cancer clusters are cropping up other places nowhere near a chemical plant is an evidence-based rebuttal to your theory.

That's a sweeping generalization — it's not a rebuttal if the cancers in question have multiple causative factors, as you seem implicitly to acknowledge in your very-next paragraph about "entirely different reasons" ....

> “Historians” are, as a general matter, terrible at describing why things happen. They’re not data analyzers, they’re story tellers.

Really? "I usually don't agree with historians' descriptions of why things happen" is not an acceptable definition of "historians are terrible at describing why things happen."

(I don't know why you look down on story-tellers; as I'm sure you know professionally, narrative is often the best way to communicate a message, and the most persuasive teachers are typically great story-tellers.)
