PayPal redirects you to a PayPal site (hosted on paypal.com, UX controlled by PayPal) to enter your payment information, and then redirects you back to the merchant once you're done.

Stripe supplies a script that merchants embed and style themselves. In theory the script sends the payment info off to Stripe directly for tokenization... but the user has no way of knowing that the merchant site didn't sniff it, or even that the script was used at all.
For me it hit as a double-whammy. I tried opening a new tab, but had to stop what I was doing to restart Firefox instead because of a Snap[1] update, then I got this immediately after Firefox started back up. A really nasty snapshot of where free software is at in 2023.

That's not at all true. The citizenship question was removed from the 2020 Decennial Census by the Supreme Court in Department of Commerce v New York (2019) which held the Department of Commerce failed to provide a genuine justification for the decision to add the citizenship question (as required by the Administrative Procedure Act), instead providing a contrived and pretextual explanation.

And it will distill that into something distinctly actionable. You have an interface to communicate your edits in the lowest friction way ever exposed by mankind and people are still trying to enter a prompt and Ctrl+C Ctrl+V.
The OOXML format is heavily oriented around internal details of Office in ways that makes it pretty inconvenient to work with even if it's "open". Also IIRC some more esoteric parts are just binary blobs that aren't actually documented and the specifications just say to do what Office does.

Generally H-1B's can begin the green card process the moment they set foot in the US and it takes about 1.5-2 years (which is about 1y6m too long). The issue is not with the H-1B per se (quotas aside). The issue is that the green card process is too onerous and is subdivided by country of origin so some have to wait much longer than others.

Timeline:

1. Prepare PERM: 6 months.

2. File for DOL certification and get an approved ETA-9089: 120 days.

3. File for I-140 and I-485 concurrently assuming a current priority date with premium processing: 14 days for an approved I-140 and 6-12 months for an approved I-485 assuming no request for evidence. During this time you'll need to go in for biometrics appointment.

Makes sense. GDP captures money spent on services, not philosophical judgment on if that money was wisely spent or produced net happiness.

In a more realistic examples, alcoholics purchasing booze, obese people overeating, and people wasting their lives watching TV all contribute to GDP.
> I fail to see how the entirety of AI’s success (per this title) is misrepresented

The title does not claim that the "entirety" of AI's success is misrepresented. It is questioning "how much" is, and I think that this is a fair question. The author does admit that the first paragraph in the example does have valid information which shows the AI with knowledge. It's the second paragraph that is just fluff.

I think that it is valid to ask how much this "fluff" impresses us and leads us to see the AI as being knowledgeable. Perhaps the author does draw too strong of a conclusion, but he still makes a good point.
With all due respect, this is nonsense. This is a teacher and a human being that exists and works within a system. You seem to be one of those people who thinks that teachers are some kind of supernatural, super-powerful heroes of humanity who have the responsibility on their backs to be larger than life. This guy has to apply exams; it's not something he wants, it's what he needs to do in the system. And he has to grade 96 of them. And he is a human being. Do you know what it would take to assess 96 students in the way you are describing?

Plus, cheating or not cheating is an ethical matter, not a pedagogical one. He is not trying to teach anyone not to cheat. The expectation of not cheating comes as a pre-requisite of any formal education. He has the social duty to capture cheaters because if not he is failing the society and system who have given him the responsibility to not only educate, but to certify someone's skills. If the cheaters get out there with a diploma in their hands, certified by him (and his institution), he has failed those who believe in that diploma's validity.

Everything you said about learning being a lifelong pursuit that can't be forced, etc. are personal pursuits which are independent and orthogonal to this teacher's formal responsibilities in the educational system.
People output C and Java, as well. Sometimes using string templating. Reasoning will vary, of course, but the pipeline through your build almost certainly involves a lot of intermediate steps. And auditing the representation close to what a human should be writing makes a lot of sense.
If you ever have non-deliberate anything in production there's a non zero chance you're doing it wrong.
Sure, you could also put a lot of complicated macros into headers. But in practice it is not a problem because this is not how you would do it in C. But in C++ you put the definition of a class into the header. Also templates basically have to exist in headers. So it is normal for C++ code to have a lot of code in headers.

> And yet they get voted in again and again.

Yeah when you have a two-party system (in the case of America) and you have two business parties, people only vote for the reactionary lackeys of business and the gay-friendly lackeys of business. It’s such a conundrum.

What happens is that the “establishment” candidates get all the press/propaganda while the other candidates either (1) belong to third parties which risks “wasting” a vote, and/or (2) either stay completely fringe/off everyone’s radar or get smeared by the establishment candidates.

And propaganda is everywhere. It’s not just “this message has been approved by” commercials. My comment could be astroturfed. (It’s not though. My political brain is just programmed in a weird way, (kind of) organically.)

How are you supposed to counter that as a citizen? Vote for the candidate that you least know as a kind of bypass-the-system trick?
There is only one way to be free. Believe in the truth. Acts 16:16-40

Beyond that you are supposing based upon bad data and conjecture which results in a scenario where worry will kill you.

But let's say the worst happens and you can't live in a city anymore. Can you grow your own food? Can you grow all of it? How many resources does that take near where you live? How about in the mountains near where you live? Now go learn how to do it.

What makes me upset about JSX is how it's build-time-dependent on whichever specific library you've configured it to translate to (and can't be used otherwise)

- Serialized to a string

- Deeply inspected/compared

etc. And framework integration only happened when you make the actual framework call, not globally at build-time

quires a supporting and an encouraging culture. I'm not sure the US had one (I understand many of people think the US does have one now, but I'm talking about 20 or 30 years ago). The pop culture berated nerds and geeks for years. The most popular kids in the school were cheerleaders and sports junkies and kids who could get their hands on alcohols and cigarettes -- this is just unfathomable in many other countries, especially Asian ones. And look at the pipeline! How many "local" kids went to STEM majors other than those who wanted to be doctors? How many kids thought first-year college maths and physics and organic chemistry are so-called weeder coursers? Heck, how many commenters on HN thought that they couldn't study well in high schools because XXX subject is all about rote memory?

You don't know anything about other countries. You think China and India with > 1 billion people each are all tech savants and scientists? It is the opposite. Theres 270 million people in poverty in India alone. The population of US is 330 million. Statistically of course there is a larger amount of STEM than US by population. It's a numbers game that also has to do with the advancement of the country and economic goals of its citizens, not 'culture'. It's literally determined by economics

Companies can get indentured servants who are loyal and will work against toxicity and long hours that they can get rid of whenever they want. There is plenty of talent in America. The reason they are not utilized is for business and economic reasons. ie revenue/profitability/growth

hlandau here. This article responds to my own, so here are my thoughts:

- "No one has structured HTML creation that's as easy as string templates." -> I think this is usually true, but not always. Lisp allows use of S-expressions to define HTML (via SXML), and I genuinely find that more pleasant and powerful than writing HTML, or HTML with string templates. JSX is also arguably easier than adopting a string templating system since you can just drop into it instantly and write it as a function; it's language-integrated.

I also actually classify languages such as Haml as structural containment, which might be counterintuitive, since they're largely just seen as a syntax sugar on writing HTML. But because these languages are completely different to HTML, they're necessarily defined and parsed as languages in their own right, and the capacity for interpolating variables, etc. is integrated into the definition of that language as part of its syntax. (Consider how you can't provide mis-structured HTML with Haml, for example.) So this is a bit of a surprising result where something which is just seen as sugar on top of HTML actually takes you from string templating to structural containment. Thus using languages like Haml is a simple and easy way to move to structural separation in ecosystems where Haml or similar technologies are available. Since the whole point of Haml is to make writing HTML easier/lower effort, I also think this is another counterexample to "no one has structured HTML creation that's as easy as string templates."

- "One of my fundamental rules of system design is when people keep doing it wrong, the people are right and your system or idea is wrong." -> Yeah. If web developers keep adopting the wrong solution, it does suggest a lack of better leadership in this area in terms of the web development tools and languages they're provided with. I agree with this constructive view of leading via positive example; it's not reasonable to blame people for not using the wheel if they live in a world where nobody has ever seen one.

- It's mentioned that Go came up with html/template rather than come up with a better solution. It seems like the problem here is that in order for a language to be flexible enough to allow articulating HTML in a structural way that is actually ergonomic, it basically has to either a) be as flexible as Lisp, or b) be a DSL or language extension specially designed for the task (JSX, Haml).

While Chris takes a different view here I find his POV interesting, so I've added a link to his page from mine.
I learned this concept hiking with a ranger when I was young. I caught myself about to cut the corner of the trail. I jokingly shamed myself for the thought, and he says,"that's a sign we designed it wrong here". He went on to explain that they do watch hikers for how they got it wrong in that sense

This has been the case for a while because AMD never had the resources to do software well. But their market cap is 10x what it was 5 years ago, so now they do. That still takes time, and having resources isn't a guarantee of competent execution, but it's a lot more likely now than it used to be.

On top of that, Intel is making a serious effort to get into this space and they have a better history of making usable libraries. OpenVINO is already pretty good. It's especially good at having implementations in both Python and not-Python, the latter of which is a huge advantage for open source development because it gets you out of Python dependency hell. There's a reason the thing that caught on is llama.cpp and not llama.py.
> Honestly, as someone who bikes all the time, there's very little difference at 50km/h from the amount of sound coming from an EV vs an ICE.

This is about the acceleration from 0-60 in 3 seconds.

Because of how quietly a fast EV can perform this feat, the argument is that it's encouraging bad/antisocial driving behavior in general.

When an ICE does that sort of 0-60 time the whole neighborhood hears about it. That alone has a moderating effect on most drivers behavior even if their ICE vehicle is capable of it.

> The earliest an H1B holder could likely become a voter is 10 years in the best cases.

Not really, the earliest you can become a citizen is (1) get your H-1B and arrive in the US (2) get a green card, roughly 1.5-2 years if you're going employment route (3) wait 5 years for citizenship - 3 if you marry someone.

The fastest by the employment route is 6.5 years-ish, the fastest by marriage is probably 4.

It's like bypassing human limit of time, because now people can read few books in like 10-20 min, and so everything can increase too.

I think there is a hint of strategy here. Bolt was on last-gen tech for GM and killing it made sense to consolidate to the current-gen "Ultium" platform. There's just a lot of timing questions about GM not announcing a proper Bolt successor before killing it.

Also, favoring trucks is quite probably GM worried about Ford's massive US truck fan base and hoping they can outpace Ford's supply chain bootstrapping issues with Ultium, which did have something of a head start (and multiple proven predecessor generations). (It's interesting to compare Ford's stop gap F-150 Lightning/Mach-E on an already announced dead platform and Ford moving to VW's relatively more proven MEB platform as an attempted short-cut around supply chain issues by leveraging VW logistics.)

But yeah, I wish GM would finally announce the remaining "unknown" Ultium models and hope that at least one properly fills the hole left behind by the Bolt.
Question is though did Russia have to choose to be anti-west?

Putin has been but Russia could have gone a different route rather than keep Putin in power all these years.

Russia really doesn't win keeping itself xenophobic of the West.

Japanese, Korean, & German culture are all very popular here in American entertainment today.

Russia could have continued to preserve, celebrate, and expand her culture around the world through Western entertainment and alliances.

Instead out of fear to preserve it Russia has become isolated from people that otherwise would have happily bought her stuff.

True. But the broader point is that transposing political positions from 100 years ago into modern politics is always verging on anachronism. In many ways the modern American welfare state and the modern Democratic Party both originate in the South through the populist movement and William Jennings Bryan. But consider: does William Jennings Bryan's opposition to teaching evolution in public schools have anything to do with agricultural subsidies or inflationary monetary policy? He very publicly advocated for all of these positions, but trying to bring this association into modern debates about interest rates or public education is a distraction.
