Yes, and that's why they're trying to own our computers before they even leave the factory. They want a world where only the programs they approve can be executed. That's literally the only way that copyright can be enforced in the 21st century. In other words, they are the antithesis of everything hackers stand for. Computers are too powerful and subversive for them, they need to control it. Governments have similar aspirations. They want to contol access to cryptography software.
> I'm glad that in the EU, GDPR would make it illegal for ISPs to sell this kind of data

As much as I wish this were true, they carved out exemptions for themselves and their own goals. As such, GDPR doesn't apply to abuses of data for "law enforcement" purposes or other government operations.
It is typical for large corporations to have a bunch of legal fine print. This effectively allows them to do just about anything, as long as they have a "reason".

They nominally don't do just anything (like take your money), because they want people to use their service, and if they cheated everyone all the time, you'd hope that people would catch on and stop using their service.

Having said all that, dealing with illegal transactions, fraud and scammers is tough. The corporations will, honestly, make mistakes, and having enough customer service to deal with it all properly is expensive. Hence automated bans. Often there is no recourse except moving towards a lawsuit, which may be unreasonably expensive for most cases, as compared to the money that has been lost.
No, this isn’t a mark-to-market loss, as the article clearly states—these are operating losses, literally more cash flowing out than flowing in. This is because the Fed is trying to raise short-term interest rates, and to do this effectively it has to be willing to pay out its own interest target. These interest payments now exceed the interest it receives on its portfolio of government bonds and mortgage-backed securities. If this goes on for long enough then the Fed’s equity will become negative.
If you don't have a pressurized portafilter basket, the scale is virtually necessary to ensure you're getting the same amount of coffee each shot. This doesn't sound like a big deal, except with a normal portafilter basket the only thing holding back the pressure is just the puck of grounds. Increasing or decreasing the dose by even mild amounts can wildly affect the shot pull time just like changing the grind size can.
"Having kids is bad" makes sense as a rule of we assume it kids will have the same footprint as us. But that sounds like another way to admit defeat.

I don't have kids. I'm in my thirties. I really struggle with this idea. I fear that this notion is part of why I will run out the clock on my window to get kids.

All I see is finger pointing when everyone needs to rise to the occasion. I'm falling in that trap myself.
> This is actually for web apps.

I'm aware of that. iOS is a proprietary OS and how it does things isn't all that relevant to me in this context. The web is a different matter and I've yet to see a use case of push notifications that served me. But I've seen 100's of websites that I have zero reason to see as useful applications trying to trick me into allowing them to use push notifications.
That's because they don't need an unregulated security; they need a neutral and reliable payment processor.

The world doesn't need crypto, it needs to turn Visa/MasterCard/Amex into utilities.
Of course if the file-name is correctly decodeable in the user preferred encoding (hopefully UTF-8) it should be shown as such. But giving up on supposedly malformed filenames shouldn't be an option for robust software.

For Bitcoin payments, the equivalent of Paypal or some other payment processor is not the blockchain but the entity where you convert Bitcoin to actual money, as on-chain BTC is not practically usable for your business expenses without that. And that entity can ban you and restrict your payments, so you have pretty much the same considerations.

If you need stability in your FIAT of choice just liquidate it as soon as you receive it. It won't lose or gain 50% of its value in a matter of minutes. In the case of Patreon they could even do that for you since they are the middle man.

Also, note that you'd probably receive more donations if accepting crypto currencies, so even if the values of these were to fluctuate (which they won't, cause you can sell) you'd still be making more money overall.
Isn't that already the case, only with a thin wrapper to handle notifications?

Debt creation also gives value to the dollar. In 2020, which was an odd year which highlights the point, deficit spending came near to revenue from taxes.

In the future as the workforce shrinks and liabilities increase I imagine deficit spending will regularly exceed tax revenues.

The context here is that Safari (incl. mobile safari) just added support. Every other browser has supported this for years. I agree that the implementation in Chrome that allows websites to request notification permissions on any page load is pretty annoying. But this UI is not a necessary part of this feature.

From an android POV, the benefit of this feature is that it allows you to install fully featured apps while keeping them in the web sandbox where you have fine-grained control over permissions.

This comment is a prime example of something that makes sense on the face of it because the rebuttal requires knowledge on how money actually works.

For example, you completely glossed over the fact most economists agree that, for money to have value, it needs to be a good:

1. Medium of exchange

2. Unit of account

3. Store of value

To achieve this, a currency needs a certain level of stability and to be accepted by the institutions you need to do business with i.e. governments. Money & Macro has some great videos on this topic. This one on China's attempt to replace the US Dollar as the reserve currency is a good starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49iLl-V4xos&t=653s

The problem with deficit spending is the interest. It gets paid by the taxpayers. But they get no value from paying the interest. And it goes to the bankers, who already have more money than they need.

Occasionally short term deficits and endless bottomless deficits are not the same beast. The latter is simply a lazy political tool used to buy votes and further enrich the bankers.
Nothing, except the fact that nobody at PayPal would read the letter.
I was one of the first people to write RHEL back when I think they were still figuring out how they should do the exam.

There was a written portion followed by a practical portion in a lab where you had to configure services/features, followed by a break where they would mess small things up that you had to troubleshoot and fix.

I had a feeling they were going to break things, so I made sure I installed tripwire on each machine so I knew exactly what files they touched. I was done that portion in under 15 minutes. When I came out, the proctor said "Did you give up?" to which I replied "Nope - got 'em all I believe."

I think they removed tripwire from the available binaries after that :-)
This fixes nothing.

Without this: you get a browser popup immediately on page load.

With this: you get a popup within the website, which will then trigger the browser popup if you miss the tiny (x).

Yes I am saying that to get the same Nutritional value that you would get from a cow you would need much more amound of land to grow the plants that would subtitute it. Plants that would require a lot more care and a lot more automation/pesticides that the plants cows are eating. Even the volume of the needed transport/storage/refiregeration would be way bigger. Ask anyone living in a rural area, what amount of land/effort would be the equivalent of a cow.
Hopefully everyone agrees now that BioFueld are a joke but this same discussion was held some 25 years ago and BioFuels became a reality because everyone opposing them then was beaten down with the "scientific" stick.

No. Spam is by definition unsolicited email (often commercial in nature) from someone you never have had any sort of (business) relationship with.

If you've used a service, even briefly, and willingly given them your email address, and then later get emails from them, that's not spam. Yes, it is super annoying that they automatically sign up your address for marketing, but there is a way to unsubscribe.

Sure, this is a good exercise to understand different approaches to a problem. But the core question behind the difference is whether it makes sense to store values, or recalculate them every time you need them. If the author is trying to help people learn, talking about that difference and getting into some depth about scenarios where each choice would be appropriate would really round out the article to be more valuable to people learning to code.

That's like saying you shouldn't worry about reducing your personal wasting of food because it doesn't solve world hunger—like when choosing not to fly often there's a small impact that is very much noticeable on a larger scale if more people did it.

Even if the industries, the western world, developing countries forced to use coal plants for cheap energy (and you can choose many more actors that play a larger part in causing the climate crisis) contribute to the problem more than you as an individual, at least you're not actively making the world a worse place.

Tell HN: I stopped caring about personal development in tech after seeing GPT-4
As a C++/Networking enthusiast religiously following any new features and quirks in the language and also following several rfcs I have lost complete motivation for self improvement in terms of keeping my skills sharp due to the rapid AI takeover. I had an opportunity to see gpt4 in action on an inhouse product and I'm taken aback, it architects, generates tickets and starts writing code using feature / bug / spike branches for an embedded device a company is working on.

It can do almost everything I can do a bit better and I have years and years of domain knowledge, keep ontop of rfc changes, new languages, c++ standards etc, side projects and even occasional leetcode.

Oh well, this gold run did run on long enough - Im glad I made a bit of money from the industry but I think all these students going into CS are in for a rude awakening and we're in for a huge shift in this industry.

> That's much less fair, but try this which explicitly states that airlines in the US set prices according to a customer’s personal information.

No, it does not. Your catala consulting link is about what hotels could do, and it is nothing more than what you learn about price segmentation in microeconomics 101.

>https://www.duettocloud.com/press-releases/duetto-gamechange...

This is a valid link, but still not about hotels in the sense that most people use for tourism/visits friends/family and work.

It is about casinos using technology to automate how to entice their whales, which they already did using “comped” rooms and upgrades and whatnot in exchange for gambling.

I have yet to see evidence that an airline website presents different prices to customers based on the device they are using (the original
claim), nor do mainstream hotels like Hiltons/Marriotts/IHG/Wyndham/Choice/Accor/etc.

They very well might in the future. And in some broad sense, currently do via benefits for frequent customers via rewards programs, but as of now, there is no automated pricing system that drills down to the individual level.

It doesn't even have to be voluntarily in the sense of "making a decision to". More like voluntary in the sense of "have no specific need to".

In the most developed countries, children are now more of a burden than a gain, which is why women are having fewer of them every generation.

Not only because they're expensive, but because they are often born unhealthy (physically, mentally, or both) and are a large, often unrecoverable blow to most careers.

Since we don't need children to work on the farm or to let us move in with them when we're old (er, less than previous generations, anyway), it becomes purely a "nice-to-have" decision.

And then if somebody does voluntarily have children, they don't have much of a leg to stand on when lecturing others about their impact on climate change.
You’re mixing up sampling rate/depth and sound frequency.
The idea that "processed food" is bad annoys me, because it's so impossibly broad. Milling, roasting, fermenting, freezing, drying, smoking, chopping, soaking, skimming, distilling, salting, curing, pickling, sieving, threshing, squeezing, and yes, hydrogenation - Anything we do to food is processing, and a lot of food is not safe to eat without processing. Veganism is one thing, but the "raw food" diet is damn near impossible to make work, so much that the alternative people who embrace every other fad like that warn against it.

It is specific forms of processing which are bad, in specific circumstances. Smoking is, sadly, bad because the substances which preserve the food are carcinogenic. Partial hydrogenation of oils is bad because half of the partially hydrogenated products will be trans fats which the body really isn't good at handling.
Yes. This is why linters are invaluable (or indeed languages that are stricter with syntax). Programming is so much easier now that we have this kind of tooling.

I remember trying to write my first programs in MS Notepad (which doesn't even have syntax highlighting) and then run them in Internet Explorer which would popup error messages one at a time in a dialog box. And a lot of time was spent finding and fixing trivial errors like this.
> if the system's purpose is to tilt the game to favor the few

I wouldn't say it's the purpose, since banks are better at extending loans than the government such that losses are minimized, but getting first dibs on newly created money, and taking a small cut of it, is an incredible privilege.
