Presumably whichever provider you pick will be experiencing the same abuse problems and will eventually discontinue offering this feature as well.

You should probably rethink how you expose your service. If your service is a web service, maybe consider running it as a Tor hidden service, and pointing your non-Tor-using users to a Tor web gateway?
> Look in about:config ... it is indeed disturbingly large and the majority of them aren't officially documented either.

It really is an insane situation. What is up with Firefox's stealth anti-privacy and spammy marketing features controlled by hidden, undocumented settings that are set to (violate privacy and spam me) by default?
I could listen to weird stories about people who've brushed shoulders with the super-rich all day.

I'd especially love to hear stories of winning their respect. Surely somebody wins Bezos' respect -- unless (and it doesn't seem unlikely) his defining property is being too arrogant for that?

I love games that try to find the right set of compromises to have their cake and eat it, too, in terms of combining open world feel with linear, tight narrative and deeply simulated environments.

To me Gothic was one of the milestones: One of the first large 3D open world RPGs that had a chapter structure. As you progressed the main quest line, you would eventually cross chapter boundaries that would toggle major changes in the game world, e.g. whether a given city was in front of or behind the frontlines of a conflict, altering massively who you would find there or what it looked like. While some side quest opportunities would persist over the chapter boundary, other doors would close and new ones would open. All of this did a lot to feel like the game world was meaningfully progressing alongside you, and to show the impact of your own actions on the game world.

As for Deus Ex, even the original had these "hub" locations like Hell's Kitchen, maps you'd return to more than once, in different circumstances, while also taking you all over the world to mission locations. A lot of missions had "establishing locations" where you'd e.g. walk around in a new city a bit before breaking into a corporate HQ found within it. This gave you just enough freedom to make it feel like more than a linear corridor shooter with sim elements, while in reality being planned out and guided enough you had your narrative arcs and peaks. The sequels of course expanded on this with Detroit, Prague, etc.

There's fantastic game design artistry in blending and balancing these concerns. With DX, people usually comment on the sim elements, emergent gameplay, multiple approaches to mission goals, etc., but its story and map structure is IMHO another thing that made that game so groundbreaking and memorable. The immersive sim it got from Ultima Underworld and System Shock, but this careful orchestration of alternating linear and more free-form stretches, of having character arcs, of circling back on itself and revisiting locations, of having narrative beats was new to 3D/FPS games and showed the way.
I agree with your second paragraph. But are there not moody people i.e. emotionally unstable types in all of us. People, myself included go through troubling periods in life and can cause them to be less emotionally aware of themselves. Sometimes we're closer to this reality than we imagine.

Should we not have a degree of tolerance towards this and even chronic cases because some people's lives a just severely fudged up sometimes i.e. Health reasons outside of their control.

I wish I was 18 again without the worry of the worries I have today, carefree almost 100% of the time but life attaches it's baggage on all of us and it's to be expected that some people will be down, can't expect people to be the reproducible version emotionally every time.
It's not a completely different topic. If a microgrid interface is allowed, for example, then different community and investment models can be considered on a per microgrid basis. If only utility models exist, then most likely a much narrower set of models exist - and likely under serving many communities and groups in addition to higher pricing.
This is the way. Do you follow the same approach with email? I'm sitting on 110k emails in my inbox and pondering my options.
That doesn’t stop theft by employees or robberies.
Windows for Workgroups was a version of Windows specifically suited for use by "work groups", whatever they though that was.

So, by that logic, clearly then Windows Subsystem for Linux is a version of Windows specifically suited for running under Linux.
On my screens, the readme is what I see (and on my iPhone, that’s pretty much all I see). It talks about licensing, not statistics.

Ask HN: How to cope with pressure to be the best?
Being raised in an Asian household, my siblings and I were always expected to be the best at everything we do. Having lived under the pressure of being the best at everything, I have internalized the behavior. If I’m reading a book, I want to squeeze every last bit of knowledge and apply it so that I can be the best at whatever the book is teaching. If I’m playing chess, I optimize for winning every game. The only acceptable goal I set for myself is being number 1 not number 2 or 3. Because of this, I cannot enjoy any activity. I want to read just for kicks and the joy of understanding a new topic. I want to play chess so that I can understand every strategy even if it means I will lose some games. But I am unable to do so. Has anyone else experienced this? What are some strategies to deal with self set high goals and pressure?
Even though I would not like to ditch freedom with a cashless system, I would not like a cash only system either, and it is not about being lazy.

An advantage of a system where cards or checks are widely used is that it decreases significantly the risk of getting robbed.

In some country with cash only, the citizens would travel by bus with big amounts of cash while bringing back money to their family. Sometimes the bus was stopped by armed robbers. Everybody would have to give their money, or to take the risk to hide it, or to take the risk to fight back. When a minimal system of money transfer was introduced in the country, those kind of robbery disappeared: there was no point anymore for the robbers to stop busses since the citizens didn't have huge amounts of cash on them anymore.
"Albums" on the Photo app and the iPhone aren't the same either. That one actively irritates me - why are they different? They're both Apple!
How would you handle chargeback claims? Should all users of the system share in the fraud risk?
What's your definition of success here? People don't play Axie because they enjoy it, they pay people who mainly live in the Philippines to grind at it so that the account holder can cash out.
Imperial China is basically the Greek/Roman empire of East Asia. Both of these civilizations made deep and lasting impact on the culture of East Asia and Europe/North Africa/West Asia respectively.

Lightning requires an on-chain transaction to create a channel, which means that you would need about 75 years, trillions of dollars of electricity and the entire remaining block reward to set up a channel for everyone alive now, assuming no births or deaths. Stop thinking about lightning, it's just meant to distract people from the actual scaling issues.
Not all that different from the Ariane-5 maiden launch, except for human lives being at stake vs. billions of Euros (adjusted for inflation).

Altium is an enterprise level software that is just in a different league as kicad. Both are great products but it’s no sense comparing two very different products. I’ve never personally seen a company seriously use Kicad. I’m sure it’s possible but it’s not a tool you want your company to depend on. I find it hard to believe altiums ‘most commonly used’ claim. Maybe cadence just isn’t as worried about marketing? Haha.
I can't believe how willingly people submitted to going cashless. I was at a trendy rivertown restaurant, went to pay with cash, and the shock on people's faces was unbelievable, like I was some ancient alien. It honestly feels pretty forced, like there's a hyper-fashionable status attached to paying digitally. It's not the first time people lapped up a status marker hawked to them by some globocorp, just like iphones, luxury cars, etc.

Yep, in terms of just getting storage back I just simply run `ncdu` once a year and go for it.
So should everyone simply disregard any laws they disagree with, provided they can get away with it? Where does it end?
It has been happening for years. You go to 7-11 or Target and buy a “<app name> points card”, it gets activated at the register when you pay with cash, and then you use the code on the back to get Minecraft coins or Xbox points or Fortnite bux or whatever. It’s how kids and people with no credit or a distrust of banks participate online.
It really bugs me when people post these threads without saying whether they used GPT-3 or GPT-4. And if it's academic, I sort of suspect it's not GPT-4, unless they are paying for subscriptions for all of their students.

It makes a difference... a big difference.
This is fundamentally untrue because programming has always been about "telling a computer what to do." That aspect isn't changing with LLMs. What's changing is the type of language we use to do that telling.

Syntax was never the hard part of programming. The hard parts are architecture, logic, UI development, and debugging. While LLMs can be a great help to programmers who are already doing that work, they're not going to turn someone into a programmer who does not already have an aptitude for these human-machine instruction sessions, whatever language they're in.

How about the Canadian truckers protest where Canada's handful of banks froze their accounts and their gofundme was seized?

How about all of China?

There's no way government can be trusted. We would need a bill of rights applied to our money first to protect us and have a check and balance. We already need this!
CC certainly has the capability for extremely granular and personal details. For now, this is usually restricted to hotel stays and airline trips. But the tech exists to encode quite a bit of information about both sides of a transaction and its nature.
Postal services deny liability. If you send cash and it is stolen you can not sue or get redress from the postal system

Yes, but the thing that is unclear is whether the commenter I replied to has written off all reviews (which from the content of their comment, they seem to have) because of this.
>“Sunshine causes sunburn that’s why I stay inside 24/7. simples.”

Unlike blabbering about nonsense during coffee breaks, sun exposure causes the production of vitamin D, and therefore has a positive effect on health. It's a comparison of a very different things. Of course, too much of everything can cause negative effects and so does the same sunshine.

>No social life is really really bad for your long term health outcomes.

No, it's a fake problem.
Pretty sure the data about individual goods is up for sale.

Didn't Google start buying this kind of data to match up online purchase intent with real-world purchases?
I think a compliant c++ implementation is allowed to do this and I think all do so at least for straightforward cases.
What's the basis for this advice?

Personally I'd be far more interested to learn that someone running for office refuses to use a credit card to buy groceries because they fear having that information collected and used against them... than that they once spent $500 in a single month on Twinkies.

If someone wants to use your spending history against you they don't actually need your credit card bills these days, they can just make something up. Look at the insanity that people managed to create out of John Podesta's office pizza orders.
Only if the function was to harm in the first place.

Every single antivirus program is more like malware than actual helpful software, because malware is in fact a spook and best antimalware we currently have is a functioning human brain.

It's really sad that pharmaceuticals, akin to antimalware companies are allowed to get away with any of this.

When brain doesn't work, such punyware like antivirus does nothing. Study done in around 2007 found that 35% of IRS workers will fall victim to social engineering... Ending up directly giving up their password, imagine the fun you can do if you have a password like that and you needed to run no malicious code to steal such information.
Now imagine how does that small torn get all of their goods to sell to each other?

Switzerland has cash written into law[1] (You must accept all denominations of notes (that includes the CHF 1,000 note) and at minimum up to CHF 100 in coins) but sadly it is missing any penalties if you don't do it so there are now some that just ignoring it.

The law needs to be updated to add penalties and exceptions for businesses that have no physical presence.

There is an initiative to prevent cash from going away[2] but it's too little to prevent the above. Also organized by the people that are against vaccines, 5G and don't believe in climate change so the support is probably quite limited.

The SNB is also under pressure from the rest of the world regarding the CHF 1,000 notes but decided against getting rid of it. I also don't understand why a CHF 1,000 note today is such an issue when it existed already in 1907 and back then CHF 1,000 was a lot more than in today's money.

I saw a course on GPT yesterday lol it has already started
Same way it's handled now, you charge a higher processing fee proportional to the chargeback risk in the industry. My only argument is that networks shouldn't be able to capriciously deny transactions that are legal, even if I disagree with them. I don't believe in the 2nd amendment, but to the extent it is lawful to buy a gun, you should be able to buy it with your Visa card, imo, and a lot of payment acquirers do not permit it. Similarly, legal drugs.
OK I have a use case for this that's just spot-on. I just signed up, thank you so much for making this, it's the perfect tool I didn't know I needed.

I help tech people with immigration filings. One of the most important components of a successful filing, is describing your highly technical industry, job, and accomplishments, in a way that's relatable to the immigration examiner.

The examiners are laypersons, not tech workers or attorneys. They may or may not have the comprehension level of your grandma or your middle schooler. They're under time pressure, and they're not necessarily on your side.

So the more concise and compelling your story is, the more likely you are to elicit from the examiner, that aha moment of "oh, I get what this applicant does, it sounds really cool!" And that's the moment you win your case.

This is a really hard thing to do well. It requires lots of metaphors, analogies, and simple homely examples. But when it IS done well, it's the clincher.

I really like the different ways you explain it. I also like the contrast with the Wikipedia article, which honestly made my eyes glaze over by the second line.

Thanks most kindly, I'm looking forward to reading it. One suggestion: provide your actual cash buyers with a little reward tidbit, like a sample, or like last week's newsletter? I threw down on a Monday, so my actual product doesn't arrive till Thursday, and it would be exciting to have a bit of immediate gratification.

Anyway nice job, I hope this use case is helpful.
Dealing with cash is mainly just super-expensive because it's a massive volume of paper and metal that you have to count and move around every day, and deal with replacing it over time. It's not a big deal for a single individual, but it's a huge deal for businesses. And for banks and for the government.

And there's just so much nonsense involved, like a cashier discovering they're $25 short at the end of their shift, and how do you deal with that. Unlike digital transactions, people are constantly making mistakes with cash, which one side or the other is losing out on.

And then obviously theft as well -- if there's no cash in a cash register, there's less incentive to hold up convenience store clerks at gunpoint. (You can still steal merchandise, but it's a lot bulkier and harder to handle.)

I love using cash for Grab in Singapore, seeing as non-residents are capped on how much they can spend on a card weekly (and it is an extremely low amount).
The US has wantonly applied “sanctions” all over the place, which in lay terms means “we take your money electronically and/or prevent you from moving money”. This has been applied both against governments and individuals, even individuals not accused of any crime in the US.
I was not required to take such a course, but it did exist in our catalog.

I believe that this modified assembly line has another unstated yet massive benefit...

Namely, cars are expensive and hard to ship - they don't pack well, and they have tariffs.

Yet car subassemblies in many cases ship really well - you can probably pack 500 doors in a 40 ft container for example, with a shipping cost half way around the globe of $5/door.

And tesla, having factories all over the world, can then manufacture subassemblies in places with low material or labor costs (depending on the subassembly), and do far less final assembly in the destination country, avoiding import tariffs, high labor prices, and loss of efficiencies of scale.

Since they're vertically integrated, they have a lot of pricing power - can can decide if a car door is worth $50 or $1000 as they like as far as 'country of origin of materials' goes.

And they can also build a 'car factory' (ie. subassembly bolting together factory) in nearly every country worldwide, grabbing tax incentives from a lot of governments who would love to have a car factory. They can write "Proudly made in X to a US design" on all cars sold in X - saving on destination shipping, while also being the 'local' car for buyers who are nationalistic.
Right, that got us a long way. Is it OK to have less than 100% certainty before you detain someone? Would you detain one innocent person if it meant keeping 1000 murderers off the street?

If either of those is "yes" then we're just looking at where the line is.

Would you accept imprisonment if you knew it was keeping 1000 murderers off the street?

Do people who support Nazism deserve to get punched? Even if they're innocent of any crimes (a very oft heard sentiment from people who would otherwise say they value the rule of law)?

Nothing about war is OK, but sometimes we have to compromise on what we'd like to happen. I think it's interesting to try and be honest with oneself and ask where the line is.

Would I automatically lock up adults who described themselves as associated with an enemy country, when at war, probably not; but I wouldn't give them every freedom either. Indeed during times of war it is normal to curtail general freedoms. Would I consider it unjustifiable to lock up people who appear to be associated with an enemy country, also probably not. I guess I consider that sometimes it is acceptable, morally, to lock innocent people up ... no justice system could [barring future technology that can provide certainty on past events] ever lock anyone up without such a consideration.

I'm interested if you or others have anything to try and develop my thinking in this area. Thanks.
And your effectively at the same spot again
It seems like this is great for producing a car as cheaply as possible. If one of those 3 parts (front casting, rear casting, structural battery) is damaged in a wreck, it seems probable that the car would be totaled by the insurance company.

It's not clear how a damaged casting could even be repaired.

In an ideal world, cars would be driving themselves and not crashing into one another, of course.
Someone charging back an illicit activity shouldn’t want it exposed to any inquisitive process-so don’t.

Don't Try to Outsmart the Compiler
I used the phrase "taken off". That is the form of success I'm hinting at. I'm a bit undecided on Axie Infinity but it at least launched, a lot of projects don't.
It's a clever setup. Using laws like the Anti-Money Laundering rules, the government nudges credit card companies to avoid high-risk businesses. These companies can then turn away any business without explaining why, all in the name of "security through obscurity."

But when you think about it, this setup skips past important legal protections like due process and the presumption of innocence. It's like the government has quietly asked Visa and Mastercard to play judge and jury.
Agreed. There's a lot of claims that are unsubstantiated as well as full of anecodes. It's hard to discern how this can lead to 'curious' discussion.
When it does happen, it'll be because of woke politics for sure though, not because of any legitimate wrongdoing. Nothing will convince us Elon isn't the brilliant genius engineer maverick Rand foretold.
How so? Currently if your transaction isn't permitted there's nothing you can do. Networks aren't required to process any transaction they don't want to process, or any kind of transaction they don't want to process.
I'm waiting for my framework laptop specifically for this. easy to swap parts, ryzen and they do support linux. in my book, its the best bet for a premium linux laptop as long as you're not doing heavy ML. (at least not till the 15" version is out)
Swap it for "Please RTFM: https://github.com/s0md3v/roop#installation"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM has some lighter alternatives.
My understanding is that even if you solve the actual plane + battery etc, the real rub is where do you take off and land? Most of the demand is going into/out of a city, and cities have very few places appropriate to land helicopters. Basically at the top of buildings that already have structural support, which are expensive and few.
