The most likely way you'd get this is by buying some cheap smartwatch. All of those are currently powered by Arm chips and it's unlikely that the general consumer knows anything about that.

Your laptop or desktop might well have RISC-V cores in it already. They are present in at least WD drives and some nVidia GPUs. But any time you need a cheap embedded core and don't want to pay licensing fees or deal with contracts is a case where you might choose RISC-V.
Bitcoin fixes this kind of problem. As you mentioned, those are bank accounts that you don't own. Those are NOT yours.
For all my life (and I am not spring chicken) I noticed one thing: criticism, cynicism and pessimism sell. They are attractive. They compel us, because they are easy and cheap. There is no cost attached in becoming a victim. No cost in saying "that's not for me - I can't get it".

Optimism on the other hand and especially tech optimism is almost a slur nowadays. Very few voices support them, very few cheerleaders. And that is a shame - the whole world depends on these optimists. We need them to solve the problems facing our civilization. To have successful startups we need failed ones. Advances are not easy, they are damn hard and people willing to try are few and far in between and they need our support.

And finally in the last 20 years I met and interacted with hundreds (maybe thousands) of people in our field. The ones who TRIED - few successes but zero regrets. Even failures lead to positive outcomes in the end.

The only regrets and bitterness were predictably from the ones who for some reason or another were discouraged to try. They always have an excuse, some situation to point to that made them victims. But in the end it was a preexisting belief, an idea or opinion or mind virus that did the most damage to their you world-view.

Very few will lose trying to emulate a successful person. None will gain anything trying to follow coldtea's advice.

It's from Diamond Age, alluding to a character (YT) that was from Snow Crash.
This is very unfortunate but it is the cost of being in a regulated system, hopefully Wise can resolve this ASAP.

> Some of the other stories have been from people who turned out to be doing things - e.g. cryptocurrency trading - where I can kind of see why their finance providers would maybe get suspicious of illegal activity.

As long as you're not involved in any crypto activity is not involved then this shouldn't be an issue, perhaps it is some intern at Wise who accidentally done this mess which would be bad.

I would say contacting Wise about this would be the next steps to resolving this, I am sure they will swiftly get this resolved.
Hope your problem will be resolved soon. For our company AML-check was usually done within a week and caused by fact that our game publisher that money come from was based in Dubai.

But if for some reason it take more than 2 weeks to unfreeze your account and they are not responding make sure to make complain with FCA. As Wise HQ located in UK it's the best way to deal with them:

https://www.fca.org.uk/

Yeah I personally only know that compaining to FCA does indeed work for consumers, but I pretty certain it will for business account too. UK regulators also usually reply fast enough.
> we get paid by a few customers around the world every month and pay out contractors also around the world

Which would look exactly like money laundering, tax evasion, terrorism financing etc especially if those customers/contractors are based in questionable countries.

So not surprised you've triggered their AML/KYC checks.
Those are the money laundering / antiterrorism bits, which are pretty hard to trigger.

The reality is that online banks rely on "AI" for their basic anti-fraud efforts much more than real banks do, and these are the results: arbitrary shutdowns and no customer service. But hey, I'm sure doing customer service wit ChatGPT will solve it (/s).
You might not be doing the work but you'll have access. You might overhear things. etc
If you have money to burn then sure. We have some on the way. However performance isn't that great, the core (C910) has a bunch of hardware bugs, and as the sibling comment notes Sophgo have just announced the successor.
Any good alternatives to Adobe Acrobat? It feels like its the only software that can edit pdf:s.

Others are very limited. The only one that comes close is macbooks built-in pdf editor.
What kept me using Mac over Linux as my main OS was Adobe CC + Sketch. You could get _some_ stuff working with wine, but it required too much tinkering for me to be a distraction.

Now the software is less of an issue, but the battery life on my M1 is just so much better than anything else.
> We're headquartered in the Netherlands, not Cayman Islands or Mauritius

I love how the author makes it sound as if a company in the Netherlands simply cant do “dodgy” stuff by default - regardless of wether that country is a main drug transit hub - unlike those other countries.

To be fair to me the operation does sound like a potential money laundering scheme, particularity in the flourishing dutch drug and weapon smuggling trade. I am certain op is not doing it but Wise has to check his account regardless of his perceived privilege.

Hope it gets cleared out soon though as these types of checks are real pita when you need cashflow. If and when they make them they should be extremely prompt or else i’d move to a different bank.
Very, very nice.

Julia currently uses the same trick as Lua (generate uniform Float64 bit pattern between 1 and 2 by masking a random UInt64 and reinterpreting, then subtract 1).

I wonder what the speed is.

Having the “other” half open unit interval in addition to the traditional one might come in handy for several applications.

At Google's scale a lot of the ordinary limitations do not apply. Unfortunately many companies believe that because Google does it it must be good. It's cargo cult reasoning and the result is endless NIH projects.

As for Google's 'Falcon' project: it smacks of NIH to me, but maybe their use cases are specific enough that none of the off-the-shelf bits were usable.
Yes, I am referring to exchanging sets of patches with or without tools like quilt. But I don't see a confusion. These stacked diffs seem to be a recreation of the advantages of patchsets on top of the limitting PR model of GitHub.
The study talks about how, "declining egg quality in older mice can be reversed with a dietary supplement". Sooo... unless you have a very specific genetic condition you are not going to be able to self dose and replicate the study.
They did the same to me once, they wanted an explanation what my surname means, my surname and date of a workshop where included in the transfer reference. They froze it and refused to release it for a few weeks. How do I explain what my surname means, it's literally my surname, they have it in sender details too? Every time I tried to explain it, my email history got picked up by somebody else, who didn't read the past emails and asked me the same stupid question again and again. Their CS never picked up the phone, I literally spent whole working day waiting during "busy hours". They responded to my email with 2-4 days delayed. I eventually told them to fuck off and refund the money. To prove a point I made exactly the same transfer using Revolut and recipient had the money next working day at 8am.

I'll never understand the fascination with naming/categorizing music into thinner and thinner things

While I'm generally not a fan of trying to cram things into single boxes just for the sake of it, let alone have discussiona about which is which, it does really help to have categories. Maybe not too thin, ok, but still. Simple example: last weekend some local bands were playing and we were talking about whether or not to go. So instead of looking them up on the internet (if they were even to be found already), I could just ask the organizer to give me a general idea of the style. If they say 'one is goregrind, the other melodic death metal and the last one fairly standard grindcore' then we know pretty much what to expect. Same with psytrance: I really like when flyers simply state which of the various genres it roughly is. Like, if it's labelled as old-school goa trance then it's almost a gurantee for me I'll be able to completely lose my mind there, as opposed to hi-tech which I find interesting but isn't hours-long party material for me.

That, in theory, should create the space for a challenger bank providing real-people interaction. Metro Bank seems to be doing that (yes, they are currently in trouble, but so are a lot of other banks - interest rate changes caught a lot of folks off-guard).
Is it that regular to need to do this for regular pipes?

I imagine they used a drain snake to push through any blockages, and a redundant route until it was unblocked.
Marinetti even tried to have futurism declared the state art of Italy, which would in effect suppress all other art styles.

In this case it seems his views were intertwined, at least in practical application. So it’s relevant to discuss both at the same time.
VLSI design books written in the 1990s/2000s are still relevant today. This is one of the areas which are arguably at the forefront of knowledge advancement, and yet the tools of the trade, concepts, languages are still the same.

Whilst I do like a lot of Infected Mushroom's stuff I've always seen them as the cheesy, commercial, "like it ironically" side of psy-trance. I don't consider them truly representative of psy-trance, at least the eurocentric versions I listen to.

Although I do like the variety that has developed, especially when there's multi-room club and it's possible to walk around and find whatever fits your current mood and energy level.
taylor swift when the seismometers detected her.
I'm really sorry for what you're going through. I lost someone very close to me to cancer recently, but it was detected so very late that treatment options were severely limited (immunotherapy was off the table).

Personalised cancer vaccines really seem to be the most promising avenue there is at the moment, as the problem seems to always have been that unless you can kill the tumour right to the last cell whatever is left will just adapt and grow back more resilient than before. I generally scan over tumour shrinkage in these reports (even substantial shrinkage) as palliative in nature (maybe I'm naive but I've trained myself to look at it this way). Elimination of tumours (even in a subset of patients) gives me hope as it at least means something there really is effective and can be revised on later.
Conversely I feel like it's nearly impossible to reach success at the level of most self made billionaires without having this "skill" of self delusion. How else can you go forward with 110% energy if you aren't 110% convinced you are right?

Self doubt in life is a healthy thing in moderate doses, but in the upper reaches of capitalistic "success" it's a downright hinderance.

Just another systemic flaw in the way we award status in our modern world.

Absolutely true. Especially for javascript and people who do not understand typescript.

I think op is having more of a problem with languages that are not fully typed than php per se.
I tried to run Win XP on UTM on MacOS x64 about a year ago. it worked but it was many, many, (1000x) times slower than virtualbox or parallels. I didn't want to dig into it after wasting 2 hours. internet comments indicated that UTM is slower but hid the truth of how much slower it is. UTM doesn't work.
Nivolumab and ipilimumab are immune checkpoint inhibitors (for PD-1 and CTLA-4), this is meant to increase/maintain the activation of immunized T cells, as ligands of these checkpoint receptors are often expressed by the cancer cells (or more generally the cells in the cancer microenvironment) which attempt to attenuate the immune response directed at them. So this is effectively a fancy cancer vaccine adjuvant.

The vaccine itself targeting telomarase is interesting, but not without limitations. Immunized T cells can only 'see' telomarase (which is inside the cell) if bits of it are presented on the cancer cell surface via MHC molecules (which is what they are for - to provide a 'window' into the cell for the immune system to peek through). Cancer cells predictably shed MHC molecules in an attempt to hide.

Another angle is that telomerase can be transiently activated in rapidly proliferating cells (most notably... lymphocytes). So there may be some on-target off-cancer effects.

Another difficulty is that T cells in general have a hard time getting into solid tumors in sufficient numbers (unless additional measures are taken).

> Posting as a warning to others, but also if you know of any alternatives to Wise that serve EU businesses I am all ears.

I mean, it depends what you're trying to do, but if you are a company which wants somewhere to put its money, using a _bank_ is traditional. There are lots of banks in the Netherlands.
Even if they did release such data people would just say they didn't release all the data.

There was already a bunch of evidence shown, i'd wait 24/48 hour for legitimate press to go over and verify it and come to a conclusion.
One big development in "dance music" is the music coming from Africa. For example, Amapiano, Afrotech etc. So probably there are also still more subgenres popping up in areas of electronic music I do not follow/listen to.

Therefore I think your impression that their absence "...might be explained in part by Ishkur's own age / detachment..." is correct.

It probably reflects the reality of trying to sell computer books in 2023, and what kind of people are willing to buy those books in a mainstream bookstore. Computer books lose relevancy quickly as their information becomes out-of-date, and people who buy them are more likely to look online for the lowest price.
They classify Hungary as a "flawed democracy" because people living in Hungary do not support Western values as much as they would like them to do. I would take those classifications with a pinch of salt. Both the Hungarian government and the Hungarian people are seeking to keep their cultural values, and/or traditions. Telling them to do this and that to undermine it is going to be responded to with criticism. Of course the West and especially the EU hates them. In fact, Hungary is being extremely hated for staying neutral with regarding to the Ukraine-Russia war, and refusing to send weapons or money for weapons to Ukraine. Yes, Hungary is hated because of its pacifist views. Now, would you ever take anyone seriously if they hated Hungary for not supporting and refusing to fuel the war? They think that Hungary is a flawed democracy because (and maybe for other reasons as well) the Hungarian people (!) keep voting for Orbán.

The Cambrian explosion of electronic music was the 90s and 00s. New offshoots are still being made (vaporwave, rominimal, drift ambient, hyperpop), but the major clades are more or less set in stone for now. The last major one to be established was dubstep.
Man, I'm really sad at the hundreds of depressed, idiotic, whiny rants dominating this comment section.

Also perhaps not explicitly stated but in these genres the bass line is a drone. There's no melody in the bass line. This is similar to instruments like the sitar. It creates add harmonics and basically gives it the psychedelic sound.
The internet has probably allowed for smaller niches to develop and survive. Years ago, no one would bother making new genre X music in their bedroom because no one would hear it. Now they do. So arguably your notability requirement for genres is a bit outdated and maybe is why it seems like there are no new genres or subcultures. It's possible the genres and subcultures are just smaller and less visible now.

Disclaimer, I know nothing about DnB. I'm just commenting on how it seems a lot of things have developed in recent years due to the pervasiveness of the internet.

Assuming it's technically possible, that would require on all phones a complete rewrite of the firmware that manages the radio subsystem, which often runs its proprietary OS completely separated from the one running on the phone. To add to the difficulty, the radio subsystem is 100% closed, locked and undocumented hardware/firmware, or possibly documented only after signing a pile of NDAs, which for normal people is the same thing, and manufacturers, carriers and governments would fight hard against any change of this.

Moreover, 4G links can cover long distance because towers use more powerful trasmitters, more sensitive receivers and -very important- really good high gain antennas placed in favorable high position that reduces the number of obstacles between them and nearby phones. If the above was possible, phones could never reach more than a fraction of that distance in a direct link.

Essentially not doable. Just use the existing infrastructure behind a layer of encryption, possibly on hardware you can trust like a PinePhone or any similar platform.

Probably because they aren't "just" users, they want, by definition, to be collaborators or at the very least to have the ability to make change. It can be indeed be a pain to "manage" but I don't think it's a communication problem but rather a deeper culture problem.

It may unfortunately not help, in such cases, the salesman sitting in the bank ("account representative") is not more useful than a flower in an office pot.

All they can do is to tell you to wait for weeks for feedback, and if you don't comply, call the security on you.
This morning, my accountant warned me that Wise has frozen the funds of many of their clients, mostly freelance software developers, and they've been blocked for weeks now. This freelancers are not related in any way (except having the same accountant).
Money in banks is insured and access to it is somewhat regulated. The problem this person has is that the company they're using as a 'bank' isn't actually a bank.

Keep your money in banks. Regulated, established, FDIC (or similar) insured banks. Or in bonds. Or in mutual funds or whatever. Don't keep it with 'fintech' companies that specifically mention on their website that they aren't banks.
