That was the old way. Python now recommends against installing Python3 in a way that does that, and most modern *nix don't.
We have to do the passport verification since we're providing you with a prepaid wallet, which can be used to store funds and make purchases in India.

Companies like Wise power Remittances i.e. you can send money to a person in India from USA using their facilities.

However, this cannot be used to make purchases from merchants.
Nor are you guaranteed your money will be delivered within 2 minutes in case of cross-border remittance.

Because Cheq actually opens a new Indian wallet, we must do the passport verification. Regulations are pretty specific in this regard currently.

Rest assured though, when you try to open your Cheq wallet today, your details will only ever be seen by White collared staff on direct Payroll of Transcorp.
The agent only takes a photo of your passport for our records
(no paper copies of your details are stored).

We'll keep trying to improve the onboarding experience in the coming years for sure.
The original menu was built for mobile, where this isn't much of an issue, my re-creation is a bit weird because I primarily interact with it on desktop, but I followed the same ideas as the original.

For a desktop-specific version of this, I'd definitely allow it to persist open after a single click. Maybe I'll add that.

Wise UPI can only be used to send money to third parties.

You cannot use them to make everyday purchases. And there's no guarantee by when the recipient will receive money.
> no advertiser wants to be associated with him right now.

I see this sentiment all the time and I just don't understand it. If I sold razor blades, or if I was Stephen He's dad and sold Beijing Corn, I would want EVERYONE buying my product. Communists, Fascists, Russians, Ukrainians, Israelis, Palestinians, Antifa, Proud Boys, Prince Andrew, Andrew Tate, etc.... They may all hate each other but they should all agree that I make the best damn razor blades / canned corn on planet Earth, and everyone should buy it.

This weird era of conspicuous consumption, "lifestyle" branding, and virtue-signaling faux-activism can't end soon enough.

> Taibbi made it sound like Biden, who wasn't in office, pulled strings to have the government lean on Twitter to suppress important scandalous revelations from Hunter Biden's Laptop

This is not at all what was claimed. The focus on the Hunter laptop censorship was on the FBI confirming (or at least strongly suggesting) that the story was disinformation despite the fact that the FBI knew of its veracity. Not due to any string pulling by Biden.
Problem is that we are at a point at which these 'private platforms' are in a position to do serious damage to public speech primarily due to network effects. They dont become important venues of speech until they are a dominant portion (if not outright monopoly) of communication medium. This is structural & will not be resolved on its own unless some other non-profit seeking entity (Govt) enforces it. As it is we are losing the 'money is speech' battle because of 'Citizen's United' (google it), This left unchecked will just make it hopeless.
they need 5 times as much talk therapy to gain the same benefit

this is where i disagree. a friend of mine is a therapist, and she won't take people for more than half a year. if in that time she can not help them, then this most likely means that these people are simply not receptive to the therapy that she was able to provide. so more therapy won't help them.

my reading of therapy being 20% effective means that it is 100% effective, 20% of the time, and completely fails 80% of the time.
(well, i suppose there are also cases where therapy is partly effective, but i do not believe the relationship is linear, and that a partly effective therapy can be turned into a fully effective one by simply adding more time)

(and i am aware that 20% is a made up number, we can fill in what actual statistics provide if there are any)

so basically i believe any specific form therapy is effective with some people and fails with other people. that doesn't mean that there is no working therapy for those people, just that they haven't found it yet, or haven't found the right therapist yet. (sometimes the success of therapy depends on the personality of the therapist and the patient)

i agree with the end goals, but the examples you list are the extreme cases, that i hope are actually easier to address because i think they are caused by some very painful experience that a therapist should at least be able to detect. (i don't really know, but i hope anyways)

the cases of concern in this thread are the more subtle ones that prevent people from sharing their feelings, and the cause for that i believe is much harder to detect and address.
Rabbitmq sucks to scale. clustering and partitioning were terrible for a long time, maybe still is. Clusters dying in split brained ways, nodes crashing terribly / unrecoverable if they exceed iops or storage limits. You couldn’t pay me enough to run a high volume rMQ cluster again.

Never mind that the persistent durable log pattern of kakfa enables a lot replay type use cases that are very beneficial in financial systems specifically.

It’s not solely because of hype at all, it’s objectively better for many use cases.

Phones need to be standardized the same way desktop pc where standardized.

Our world is running out of ressources at fast speed and this habit of throwing phones away (iPhones and Android phones or anything else) without real options to fix them is creating a huge pile of waste which are furthermore highly toxic.

According to IEA, demand for oil should peak in 2030, which is a lie, considering India still have (and want) to catch up with Chinese economic devellopement (India GDP: $3.34 Trillons, China GDP: $19.34 Trillons), for the same population.
Demand can't fall in that condition.

But production will...

Peak production for conventional oil happened in 2006, resulting in an all time high of oil price in july or august 2008 at $148. And then output started to fall after a few year of stabilisation of the production.

Shale oil production in the US, oil sands in alberta, took over the increasingly disapearring share of the conventionnal oil.

What will happen in 2030 is that the cumulative production of all sources of oil will decline, inexorably, for 30 to 40 years, until the energetic cost to extract it will be above its energetic value. It would may be then extracted for its value as raw material, at very high monetary cost. Or with the help of another energy source, such nuclear (it seems to me that Saoudi Arabia has asked access to civil nuclear technology), but also at very high monetary cost.

In fact, it's not completelly a lie from IEA, in a sense that demand will be forced to decline... But it's far less worrying to say we will need less bread in the future than say we will not have enough of it...

Throwing things away as we do will appear to us, probably in our own live time, as the must stupid thing mankind has ever done in its 200.000 years of existence.

> That hate speech claiming that some group of people are "stain on our planet" will probably claim other stuff like conspiracies and alternative history. Go after those if you are concerned.

Wait, so youtube shouldn't go after hate speech, because that's legal in the US, but should go after conspiracies and alternative history, despite those also being legal in the US? This doesn't make sense.
Ignoring the strange nature of this code in the first place the more pythonic way to do it would be

Smells like a class action lawsuit to me.

The class is anyone who has been demonetized, and yet youtube/google is still profiting off of them, when no due process has been applied.

Google doesn't get to be judge, jury, and executioner.
Not sure what your thought process is there… if something is impossible to overcome on a societal level doesn’t that mean it’s innate to humans? We don’t quit being human because we’re in a large group. Group behavior is different from some individual’s behavior but it’s the same as other individual’s behavior.

Are you saying greed isn’t inevitable?
LOL the curse of alcohol once again.. gee, maybe "drinking alone every day" causes illness? think so ? A good portion of the world does not do this.. for good reasons
Just like how Youtube will demonetize videos with things like violent retro video games. But they don't take down the video or hide it, they just collect all the ad revenue for themselves.
Yeah, I'm sorry to others, but if you require the guarantees and compliance that Kafka provides, Kafka wins, especially at this kind of scale. I'd love to see RabbitMQ scaled out to handle hundreds of trillions of events per day and able to retain years worth of highly durable, immutable, and replayable event storage.

Ultimately, this comparison is apples vs oranges...

At the time when you need to do it, it's probably too late to try.

The one time we attempted to do something similar, it failed, and nobody has tried a second time.

How much time do you think it would take to prepare? What if it didn't succeed on the first shot? And how would you prevent the AI that's wipes out the rest of humanity from taking notice of your bubble?
> These claims have subsequently led to at least some of the involved parties submitting police reports alleging sexual assault. And from reports by the newspapers the expectation is that more parties are coming forward.

This is accurate, but to give context:

> A spokesperson for the Met said: "We are aware of reporting by The Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches about allegations of sexual offences.

> "On Sunday 17 September, the Met received a report of a sexual assault which was alleged to have taken place in Soho in central London in 2003. Officers are in contact with the woman and will be providing her with support.

> "We first spoke with The Sunday Times on Saturday 16 September and have since made further approaches to The Sunday Times and Channel 4 to ensure that anyone who believes they have been the victim of a sexual offence is aware of how to report this to the police.

It appears no claims to the police were made prior to or during the reporting, and the one there now is only due to the police actively following up. This is of course a serious matter, but does not appear to the the flood of claims that can be infered from the above.
Epistemologically you can't be completely sure, but when someone's discourse is habitually interwoven with rhetorical gambits and logical fallacies it's not unreasonable to conclude that they're actually a bullshit artist.

I think most people's source of proof is the Snowden leaks, but I haven't actually read it or corroborated, and most backdoors should be deniable anyway - it'd be real dumb if they weren't. I think strong circumstantial evidence is really the only thing one can go on.

How do you know which expenses outside of gross profit are necessary and not necessary? You don’t, so all you can do is look at net income / profit margin trends across many years for many businesses. If they are all low, then that means there is not much juice to squeeze.
What you propose is a hypothesis. Fine. The hypothesis is not supported by any clear evidence. I cannot think of a public university administrator who is not a scientist/researcher/faculty who is familiar with impact factors, the relative strength of journals outside the top 5 and then maybe (Nature, Science, PNAS, Cell[maybe], NEJoM[maybe]), and similar metrics.

In contrast, scientists talk about impact factors, citations, and journals all the time.
A few years ago, my home country started this enabling system for tenure candidates. Who do you think proposed as criteria, for tenure, the year-weighted citations, the impact factor of the journals in which the research was published as a discriminating factor? Faculties. Who now say that the system is, for all intents and purposes, unchangeable.
It’s not lawyerly nitpicking. The US has a tradition in rule of law, and it’s a social convention that applies broadly.

YouTube, in their statement, is pretending they have an objective standard that is fairly applied to everyone. In reality, there is no uniform standard. They ban people when business interests dictate it.

So their policy reads as “we have an objective standard,” but reality is “we ban when we feel like it.”

YouTube could fix this contradiction by changing their policy to something like “we will ban creators for any reason, at our discretion.”
To get real technical about it, gravity is inconstant at constant altitudes when varying latitude and longitude.

9.8m/s^2 at sea level, and it decreases with altitude all the way out to Lagrangian points where the gravitational attraction of the sun (and other local masses) is equal to that of earth; but solar pressure presumably displaces objects at zero-gravity rest.

Gravity is 'optional' with quantum locking. Gravity is a weak force.

Gravity is maybe the least lossy form of potential energy storage?
The devs haven't updated the app in quite some time and appear to be working on an AI based writing tool now. I'd look elsewhere for a Markdown editor.
So what your saying is you want it so I can come to your house/business and talk shit and you have no recourse of kicking the person out, or severing a contract with them?

If you want to deal with Youtube, break them in a way that promotes competition instead of having the largest ad company also owning the largest video company. Trying to otherwise restrict their rights has many other bad outcomes for all businesses and individuals.
> Taibbi implied -- over and over again, as you are now -- that these meetings saw the feds lean on Twitter to suppress the Hunter Biden Laptop story. They didn't

Incorrect. What Taibbi wrote was that Twitter approached the FBI, asking whether the laptop story was misinformation. The FBI had in fact known that this was a genuine hard drive long before it reached the press (nearly a year before) but nonetheless said that the story was probably a misinformation campaign.

The government leaning on social media was not related to the laptop story. That came later, in 2021, where the government worked through NGO proxies to lean on social media to ban people arguing against lockdowns and even supplying lists of users to ban or suppress.

The 5th Circuit had ample time to review the evidence and found it compelling enough to uphold the injunction. Do you think these judges are just being duped by misinformation?
Roads also go where authorities want them to go. Have people actually bought into this 'F-150 cross country rover' blabalbal. Buy a Cybertruck and solar panels and live of the grid driving threw the desert.

I will tell you something about true freedom. When I was 15, me and friends went from Switzerland to Czech Republic by our-self in the train. Parents didn't have to drop us off anywhere. We just went.

And today, I can literally get up, without thinking or planning, walk a couple minutes, and be anywhere in the country 2h later. I can can drink and go home no problem.

But I guess its a much better solution to just keep telling people 'don't drink and drive', because that has helped so much.

It continually amazes me how 40000 a year die, plus an unimaginable amount of property damage, policy cost, medical cost, infrastructure cost and so on and so on. And the defense for that is 'freedom bro'.

I could be completely incorrect here; but I don't know of a vector display that can do anything but arbitrary lines. Circles are usually rendered with sublinears to the command resolution (and trace runs) you're willing to sacrifice.

Well for one, I don't see how "innocent until proven guilty" posts should be flagged. Maybe they don't add much to the conversation, but people should be allowed to express such a simple sentiment without being flagged to death, just ignore them and move on. Flagging is equivalent to silencing someone, and I don't think we should be doing that apart from cases of obvious hate speech such as racism.

Personally, I found the 37576735 comment interesting because I hadn't thought of this in the context of statue of limitations, even if it does come across a little victim blaming. And the victim blaming was called out and addressed by other comments. In general I think this is the better approach to flagging - state what you disagree and try to change minds rather than just flagging it outright.

This seems like a reasonable statement to make if the author disagrees with the censorship:

And this is my comment that got flagged:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37577525

By flagging my comment I have no idea what people dislike about it - I presume it's the anti mainstream media stance but I don't know. I'm open to having my mind changed and my thoughts challenged but that can't happen if people can no longer engage with my comment because it's flagged. Personally, I thought it added context, particularly for non-British readers, about the UK media, laws and cultural landscape and how it plays into all of this.
Measuring Developer Relations (2021)
It has constants chosen with NSA input which weaken it - and which were called out a long time ago as doing so.

It isn’t a back door in the sense of ‘poke the code in a certain way and voila’, rather ‘if you know the counterpart to this constant, you can guess what values the RNG spits out at statistically improbable rates’.

You’d never know if someone was doing so unless they admitted it or someone got arrested in a way that was only possible if they’d used
it. Which good luck.

Exactly this.

So many people have the opinion that private research must be flawed because of the profit motive, but the profit motive ensures that someone will be motivated to take oversight seriously, and have the power to punish misbehavior.

Free markets, as ugly as they are sometimes, are still the best way we have of ensuring that incentives align with outcomes.
