Almost nobody in Europe uses credit cards. We use debit cards, various types (immediate, deferred, ...).

It was also the case 10-15 years ago. The usage has became much higher, but it was already all right by then.

Except Germany, for cultural reasons.

After reading the readme on the Github, it's still not clear to me whether it proxies everything through its own servers or not
It is clever but I can imagine the comments the OP would've gotten if posting "CSVi" and it didn't use vi-like keyboard shortcuts!
It clearly says that the link has not been established and that it is a risk. Not only that, it's more of a risk in older patients.

There is no formal causality link here.

Unless you can find other studies. And even then, methodology matters.

There is a realm of difference between that and the type of side-effects that were the subject of the initial conversation, to the point that I'd be tempted to say it is a red-herring.

I don't get the angle of the "random people" here - is it just to cause a nuisance by causing target accounts to incur fees? I mean it's stupid but a lot of PayPal stuff is stupid.

> To a point, I am suspecting Paypal pretends to be the random online stranger that sent me the money and then disputed it

I would highly doubt this.

SREday – in-person conference, London, 14-15 Sep
Never. History months are marketing gimmicks though so it's not a thing I would ever seek to support. I do think people should be more aware of history in general and the long chain of complex events that led to the current situation we find ourselves in. But that would require real nuance and our modern society just doesn't have time for that.
Not at the moment - sorry! We had a lot on our plate for this launch so had to postpone some non-critical parts. Rest assured we'll get this working very soon.
I'm not sure anyone is advocating terrorism. Certainly that's not what I read in the previous posts.
You should really consider professional help. It's not healthy to be this angry about something so inconsequential to your life.
Phenomenal work

It makes me wonder though: what's missing here that still puts it in the uncanny valley?

Do you need to deliberately deform these stock 3D models with small defects/"entropy"? Or is it simply not enough detail for the base models?
That's almost impossible, and one of the reasons automatic crash reporting is problematic.

It is an issue with e.g medical data: Doctors using mswindows or any browser based tool can at any moment export random medical data to god knows which country. In the EU, it is probably illegal to even look at it if you receive it, and you don't know which dreports even have this issue.

Afaik, the only reason things aren't crashing down is total non-enforcement by all authorities. Which raises interesting question about their will and capability to enforce e.g. the medical secret at all.
Agile is like communism, the only reason it never works is that Real(tm) Agile has never been tried. This is the argument you have been making this whole time while accusing the other commenter of flinging shit like a monkey.

(Edit: just to be clear, I'm a big proponent of the original agile manifesto. I'm pointing out what you are doing.)
Agreed. The dev tools in Firefox are beautifully designed and a joy to use. Chrome is a dogs breakfast in comparison.
From the part of the article where the author draws the moral of the story:

> As America descends into the California model of madness and tech-mediated kakistocracy, the smart and adventurous Americans; the kind that found tech companies, or build devilish new weapons for governments, will leave. I know many who have. Virtually everyone I speak to (of course a biased set) is thinking about it. Left wing, right wing: people in tech, military technology, finance, crypto; they see the US heading over the waterfall into madness and want no part of it.

Assuming for a moment that this observation is correct, what are the destinations that the smart and adventurous Americans are leaving to? What places in the world are now the most hospitable and the most rewarding for talent? My naive impression was that Wester European countries are even less agile and enterprising than the US, and anyway, move in lockstep with it. Russia is obviously out. I doubt people are moving to African countries. Nor do I think I heard about an immigration wave into China. And despite Balaji's bullishness on India, I thought net migration is still out of India rather than the other way around. Same with Eastern Europe. So where are these Americans going? Australia? Israel? Singapore?

The GPL uses copyleft to both disable copyright and turn software into something more like a book that doesn't have a distinction between binary and source code. So it effectively also disables arseholes who would refuse to share with the community they took from. It's brilliant!

I think the Go example is facetious. For the longest time, Go simply was not amenable to search. It is only because of breakthrough in theory that Go became amendable to search. And, it is hardly a straightforward search mind you. Two self learning networks are involved. A first to guide the expansion of a Monte Carlo based tree search, a second to evaluate the nodes in the tree. You can hardly blame a researcher in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s for not focusing on computer power, when you have 19^2 expansion factor for each move.
So what part is the dirty ruck where the people on the bottom get their eyes gouged, their heads stomped, and their nut sacks torn open?
They definitely can also use Excel.

They're both awesome apps(Although PowerPoint is easy to misuse for extreme time wasting watching someone just literally read slides), so they might have a reason.

I use Keep, but generally when someone has a nonsensical seeming process involving commercial GUI software it usually works fine. Kinda clunky but easier than no tech, more reliable than any custom made solution, and sometimes the other off the shelf alternatives have downsides.

Maybe the meeting is being structured by a PowerPoint, and they want to take notes in the same format so that each slide in the notes corresponds to a slide in the meeting presentation or something.
"The role of immune dysfunction in BD is currently unclear, with low-grade chronic inflammation (increased plasma cytokines, soluble cytokine receptors, chemokines, acute phase reactants) and T-cell activation features that may be associated with BD, but the results are controversial"

If this is your best citation, then I don't know why you expect everyone to know about and be confident in this theory. And that's without even questioning whether bipolar and depression are the same thing.

Your search results are all over the place and don't show anything coherent.
But the term "sustainable pace" is also mentioned a lot in the literature.

An increase in velocity does NOT mean "work harder"; an increase in velocity should come natural as your codebase expands, you get more reusable components, your team gains experience, etc.

Example. New feature, estimated at 5 story points. One part is a button, takes you half a day to build it.

Next feature, very similar to the other one, 5 story points. But this time you have a button component already, so you can just reuse it. Same points delivered, less time spent, meaning you have time to pick up another story, meaning your velocity goes up.

Nobody, least of all proponents of scrum / agile methodologies, is saying that you should work harder, do a death march, etc. It acknowledges that software development is an infinite and long term process.

Scrum does NOT work with deadlines. It works with predictability; your team's average velocity and the story points of upcoming stories are known, it's then up to the product owner to set priorities if they need a feature live at a certain point in time. Missed deadlines then become bad planning and prioritization more than employees not working fast enough.

> There is not rational purpose to this.

Just to highlight this: The rational purpose to sprints is for project management to be able to look ahead and be able to say "we expect this feature to be done in X weeks time". It doesn't mean that a 4 day task should be done in 2 weeks. A sprint is just a unit of time, it isn't a promise.
Disposable/virtual cards are a great alternative to that if you have a good banking system that provides them (e.g.: Revolut in Europe)
IMO, 'dang & Co does a pretty good job at maintaining hygiene here on HN.

“You can justify requiring real life credentials to ‘combat spam’”

Yes, some would indeed make such an argument. But that’s not what we’re discussing here. We’re talking about a list of banned domains. That’s very far from requiring ID for the members of HN.
> we had less fires by area than in the last 10 years

The nature of wildfire is changing - a massive reduction in open grassland, savannah, managed area fires does nothing to offset the fact that old growth forests and long standanding thick woolands are being burnt to the ground.

Part of of climate change is a change in distribution of humidity - rain forests drying ut and burning is no light matter to be dismissed with a vapid "yes, but..."

I'm not hysterical,as you so condescendingly put it, I'm pragmatic about the real nature of actual data - comes from decades in global scale exploration geophysics and earth mapping.

Your Bjorn Lomborg is just doing the conservative misdirect tango.
You're standing in a four-lane road and see a car approaching. You're looking at an angle and the lanes are poorly marked, so you can't tell which one it's in. Your observation lets you estimate the chance you need to move at 25%.

When it gets a little closer, you can tell at least which half it's on, the left or the right. Now your estimate is either 0% or 50%.

Closer still and you tell which lane it's in, so now you're sure.
> stop having kids

I wonder if such major personal and individual sacrifices are actually worth it, and if at all effective, when we leave those handful of companies which spew massive amounts of CO2 and other pollutants into the environment to operate
This is not a good comparison. The people not wearing seatbelts didn't affect the lives of others, they only (voluntarily) risked their own.

ECO terrorism is trying to force others to live how they want them to live. Regardless how convincing your belief, I don't think this is ever a good strategy.
> It definitely makes me sad to see the internet go back to the days of the walled garden.

It doesn't have to. I don't see it as an end but as a fork in the road.
I still have mine, I power it up every couple of years to see if it still works.
I would agree that China, India and USA are probably the key countries here ( and to a lesser extent other parts of Asia, Africa and South America). However I can't see China and India doing anything significant here. USA could be leading the change along with parts of Europe, but I agree it will be difficult to do anything without the largest and more developing countries getting on board.

I know a lot of climate activists in the UK and while it's a noble goal, the UK is probably contributing less than 0.5% so any change there is fairly insignificant relatively.
It's "despicable and hateful" to be against the homophobia and misogyny that is inherent in the gender identity belief system?

You're entitled to your opinion, but this is all subjective. Someone enjoying something because of nostalgia, aesthetics, experience, or whatever else, makes their opinion as valid as yours. It's silly to gatekeep or dismiss someone else's enjoyment.
Same, but my experience isn't the same; in my experience it becomes boring because every sprint is the same, predictable, stable, little pressure, churn out one feature after the next. The companies may have drank the kool-aid but didn't let go of their existing management structures involving deadlines. And the developers / scrum masters / product owners / coaches did not protect their teams or processes.
Why are you calling this guy a psychopath for suing fake wine sellers? Do you hate the Kochs or what's the story here?

> The letter in a distinctive font, though (which is what they're doing), very likely.

But it’s not actually “X”. The symbol while obscure is called “ Mathematical Double-Struck Capital X “. Graphically the logo seems completely identical to the Unicode character. I don’t know if they can register it as a trademark it but would sure seem weird if you could that with something like “ ∫ “
I get your point, but meaning of the word "eco-terrorist" is kind of the opposite

You usually don't need a paypal account for that though.

Having said that, it can bite you in different way. Paypal keep an association of last email used in a transaction with a card number.

For example, I had paid for a vps hosting using paypal payment (without a patpal account) with one card, using my email address in the billing details. Later one we bought something for my partner with the same card, but using her email address in the billing details.

Subsequent payments notifications for my vps hosting were sent to her email address.
Only in places that can afford to replace them. Liquid fuels are well understood and supported in the developing world because ICEs are relatively cheap and liquid fuels have amazing energy density.

A village with a tank of diesel can be amazingly self sufficient in the developing world while their grid central power are not reliable.

I understand the urgency of climate change, but doing something obviously unproductive like pretending the developing world is going to eagerly spend money they don't have to preserve the climate 75 years from now, isn't going to help anything.

That would be based on a faulty kpi and result in more harm than good. Wfh isn’t a perk, it’s a right for an employee to choose if he/she likes, don’t mandate wfh just like you don’t mandate rto, how hard is that for employers to understand!
“Oh, you are a good employee, go work from home!!”, “but who said that I want to?!”

Do you mandate your employees to buy a car and commute using it, or do you leave it to them to choose whatever they want? even if someone chooses to commute cycling for 1.5hrs, it isn’t your concern, wfh/rto should be ultimately an employee decision in most companies, unless the company is stating clearly before hiring, either fully remote or fully in office.
In my locked-down corporate environment, I have to get permission to install Graphviz. But, somehow, Mordac allows me to access diagrams.net/draw.io from my browser.

I came up during the WYSIWG/WYSIAYG wars, allying with the latter. But in many cases, it is easier to nudge something into alignment vs. rewriting the base code and "recompiling." That and 99.99% of people I interact with are used to dragging-and-dropping and I can't insist on an entirely different approach and tools.
> First and foremost is that most product/project managers, engineering managers, “scrum masters”, etc. do not truly love doing the work of backlog refinement, ticket management, writing acceptance criteria, or other forms of planning that entail actionable results.

In my experience this rings true. Whenever I see a ticket with no description or acceptance criteria, a ticket that's blocked by another ticket in the middle of the backlog, or a ticket that's being repeatedly rewritten mid sprint to include work that's already in the To Do column or at the top of the backlog, I feel like walking up to the Scrum Master and going "What would you say... you do here?".

Bring this stuff up at retro and blame gets redirected and watered down. The action becomes "we as a team" need to get better at doing the Scrum Master's job.

But like you say, they're very fond of big picture stuff like PowerPoints and meetings about doing agile better.
> Next feature, very similar to the other one, 5 story points. But this time you have a button component already, so you can just reuse it. Same points delivered, less time spent, meaning you have time to pick up another story, meaning your velocity goes up.

This makes absolutely no sense to me and it is not how we do things at work. When the second task is estimated it will get a story point count of 1 because it's just copy pasting a button, not 5 which requires implementing a button from scratch.
Cherry-picking data to support your biases hardly falls under the category of rationalist coverage. Just like the radical environmentalists, Lomborg seems particularly prone to his biases.

Unfortunately, reality is more complicated than what fits in a few tweets about wild fires, polar bears and coral reefs.
> I dislike sprints but have not seen a better alternative for teams of 50+ people.

Team of 50+ people?! I wonder how do your Scrums look like. Is the work day over by the time you finish it?
This is a strange essay.

The arc from Russia in 1917 to California today is absurd.

I don't understand. How does not wearing seatblets being a risky choice for one's self strengthen your point? It was indeed exactly forcing people to live a different way by compelling them by law to use a specific implement while driving or riding in a car.
I'm of two minds on this one. One the one hand, it's of course hard for Google to verify if an ad uses a trademark correctly. On the other hand, Google profits by blatantly allowing scammers to operate through their sites.

I guess television commercials have the same problem. A network doesn't know or verify if the source of a commercial uses the trademarks correctly. On the other hands, I'm not aware of networks allowing infringement on such a scale.
It's not a "belief." It's a fact that was repeated in many cities - and countries - in the real world.

China completely eliminated CoVID-19 from its population in early 2020, and a bunch of other countries did the same.

Whichever the reason: you don't use negative language. You didn't fail the sprint, you didn't have bad developers; you sit down and discuss what you can do better next time, for example: reduce your commitment, spend more time refining and preparing a story before estimating it, take up courses / do knowledge sharing, etc.

You never use language like "the sprint failed" or "what went wrong", you say "we underestimated", "there were unforseen circumstances", or "what can we do better".

I'm sure there's cynics in here that will have a benny about "soft language" and "the tofu-eating wokerati are at it again" or something, but it's not so much about language but mindset. "We failed" is giving up, "what can we improve" is taking ownership and action.
If you brought emissions per capita in the US and EU down to levels of Asia, would that not far exceed the outcomes people are currently trying to get to?

If you relocated the subset of manufacturing emissions that eminate from Asian manufacturing for the purposes of selling products to US/EU, while keeping to the above, so that product lifecycle emissions are accrued where they’re consumed rather than the current proxy emissions by outsourcing manufacturing to asia. Would that not automatically crater Asia emissions?

Neither of these actions would require impressing action upon foreign sovereigns.
I've known a few American techies who have set up shop in South Korea and Thailand. The tech scene in Turkey has been, to me, surprisingly active. I've heard distant rumor of people looking at Brazil.
I think the issue is more that this kind of stunt is necessary at all - that a private memorial for a man’s money should be needed to preserve the lives of children.

That hospital should be fully funded through taxes. The government should be taking care of those kids, not the Peter Pan Estate.
Bjorn Lomborg is great to read if you don't have an honest desire to understand and want to ignore the actual problem and feel better about yourself. Lomborg essential draws heavily on Nordhaus, who, like many economists starts from his point and then finds some maths to justify it. Nordhaus's IPCC contribution is disgraceful and should be utterly disregarded for its unjustified extrapolations and wishful thinking.
Subjective experience: AVX512 helps a lot. I would have liked to read more about this. It seems that AVX512 supports fp16 in hardware and allows 32 fused multiplication-add operations per core. So I imagine on a Ryzen 9 with 12 cores you can have 384 simultaneous fused multiplication-add operations. I am not sure whether my estimation is off. Anyone know more than me?
It may very well be the case that your region is experiencing unusual fires, but citing a decade of experience with that land to make that point is pretty ridiculous. A decade is nothing, even a century of consideration is just the bare minimum. Ideally you should be able to look at records going back hundreds if not thousands of years and when those records are lacking (the case in much of the New World), geological evidence is important.

People thinking one lifetime of experience is significant is how you get people living in the PNW who think wildfires are a new aberration in the past 10 years because 15 to 50 years ago there was relatively little smoke.. but if you read accounts from people 150 years ago they all say the summers were insufferably very smokey. In Europe and Asia communities have much longer memories for these sort of things, for instance warnings about droughts and tsunamis hundreds of years ago. But in America people think 10 years is an eternity.

The old joke has a lot of truth; in America people think 100 years is a long time, while in Europe people think 100 miles is a long distance.
