I didn't know about the rep GS has gotten regarding fraud charges. My main card is a Chase one as well. Everything else is spot on. I use the Apple Card only for buying stuff from Apple (for the 3% cash back), or when I accidentally select it from my watch at the vending machine.

Rewards are much better on other cards, even if they're not as simple as cash dropped into your account on the daily.
Thank you for the feedback! It seems that our landing page, particularly for mobile users, requires enhancements to enhance its intuitiveness. I will prioritize addressing this issue.
My experience with Amex the last 5 years is that its just as well accepted in Europe as it is in US.

Not data driven, just been to a lot of countries for extended durations.

The random restauranteur or merchant that doesnt take it is just as rare and random in both environments.
I was thinking about this in the shower the other day. Circles don't "exist" because they are a pure abstraction; as an element of mathematics they are simply a bag of conclusions that are inevitable if you are willing to accept other axioms. The language with which we talk about these axioms and conclusions might be fallible, and certainly the conclusions themselves may be fallible (though not likely so for elemental enough mathematics), but the kernel of truth in logic at the middle is, I think, unassailable.
The argument isn't to take someone who earns $400 per night and leave them a $100 per night salary and no tips it's to take someone who earns a total of $400 per night and change that to be a $400 per night salary instead of a small salary with lots of tips. That is to say the debate isn't about how much is being paid but how it's being paid.

One of the real world problem that gets run into is, even for a large portion of people that want this, when one restaurant list $50 prices and expects $10 in tip and the other charges $60 and expects no tip people still go to the one listing $50 more often.

The same is true for stores listing prices including taxes. It simply won't be the most common method in the US unless it's a regulated requirement for every store to do. There is no way every store is just going to opt into it all at once when they know not opting into it will get them more customers than the ones that do. This doesn't mean people prefer needing to calculate tax every time they look at a price it just means it's not a naturally correcting set of incentives.
kjv text for reference

> And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

> Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

selling all your possessions and giving them to the poor, then wandering around the country homeless following a new religious movement is what jesus was advocating in this passage

Yeah I don't think they do any processing, including centering. Satellites do jiggle though. You may notice that the video they play isn't actually a video but a slide of images. They don't even bother to use ffmpeg to convert to a better viewing format. But I believe this choice is made so they don't restore redundant information as you can download all those images just fine. I mean you can just access the full directory https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/animations/suvi/primar...

The websites aren't really designed for laymen but rather a location for astronomers to just get the public data. That's more up SpaceWeather's alley, where you'll see more animations and some other stuff of that type. But mostly they're leaning off the same public data. (Idk why spaceweather prides themselves on being an "AI Free Zone" when I'd actually be perfectly fine with websites like these being AI driven. I want that front page to be very standardized and it's not like those image captions are in the style that LLMs are going to create catastrophic mistakes for. They're very boiler plate and that's actually what we want)

For anyone following along these are sequential images. "Secondary" is fine. Primary is GOES-18 and Secondary is GOES-16. Looks like 18 just got a little jostle, it happens.

You say that like someone who's never used Google Fi for cell service and had them shut off your account rather than use the backup payment that they told you would stop such a thing.
There are lots of downsides to actually becoming a bank, though. It creates many restrictions on the kinds of things you can do, and unless it's the majority of your business, it's not something you want. Better to work with banks but not be a bank yourself.
> As you point out they have an order of magnitude more users. So they have some skills in marketing and distribution.

My posting hit the front page of HN and got thousands of users. Thats how they saw it & commented on it. They shared it with r/webdev which was a larger community and so got more traction. Unfortunately I didn't realize they were directly copying me until Sunday - I thought they just came to it on their own.

> Can you partner with them?

They were super hostile when I approached them.
> And the authors point is: if you don’t want to tip your bartender at the theatre, then expect there won’t be a bartender at your theatre as they will work at a bar, where you would tip them.

Or maybe, just maybe, the venue selling the drinks at substantial markup could pay them properly rather than trying to extend the custom of staff wages being dependent upon the charity of customers to a venue where customers generally don't feel like tipping. You'd think a government official in a labor department of all people would get the idea that employers paying living wages should be the rule rather than the exception.

Tipping customs often vary according to venue, range of products served and how they're served (sometimes in nuanced ways that are baffling to outsiders). Honestly, I have no idea whether it's considered customary to tip at that sort of bar at that sort of venue in that state, but a complaint about making less than a dollar per hour at a supposedly busy event is a data point against.
Burying CO2 underground is not solving the problem. It's merely kicking the can down the road for somebody in the future to fix. (If that's at all possible, that is.)

Like the ocean seemed to be an inexhaustible trash-can for centuries only for us to discover that it isn't, burying CO2 waste underground is only a short-term solution. What happens when all of the convenient 'holes' have been filled? Do we then start building mountains of CO2 waste on top of valuable land?
>>the single mother of 2 working in Applebee's in shit-tier Indiana is struggling because of tips -- they need to go.

> After it has finished making the coffee, it will keep the coffee warm using its hotplate, but only for 25 minutes. If you want to make a batch and drink it over the course of the morning that’s far too short.

Ack, I try to keep my coffee snobbery in check but this one was too much for me. Use a thermal carafe or mug to keep your coffee hot - coffee sitting on a hotplate for hours belongs nowhere but the sink.
My guess is that this war’s lasting legacy may not be some geopolitical break after years of conflict but the images of the innocents we’ve seen, including children, killed in almost every imaginable way.

I think this war will be seen as the beginning of the end for the western worlds support for Israel. The director of the ADL was recorded as saying: "The issue of the United States’ support of Israel is not left and right. It is young and old.”[1]

It may take a few years or even a couple of decades but eventually there will be a viable US presidential candidate who is more tempted by the votes on the table than by the pro-Israel lobby.

You can configure an Anderson connector pair in a way that it won't reverse. I use them quite frequently, and have a local (though admittedly undocumented...) standard for what orientations mean what voltage. It's not bulletproof, but it does make me think when things don't line up.
Your security advisory has been quite helpful and I could reproduce the issue involving CR. It is particularly enlightening to know that the null byte could also cause the same issue because some IRC servers may interpret the null byte too as a line ending.

Redshift Research Project: System Table Tracker UI Improved
The System Table Tracker UI has been improved.

The diffs are now single page, with two iframes, side-by-side.

The left iframe contains an index, of changed functions/tables/views, the right iframe contains all the details of the changes for each function/table/view.

Clicking on a row in the index make the detail iframe jump to the details for that entity.

Finally possible to easily and rapidly browse changes.

By that logic things critical to life like water and food would be extremely expensive while useless things like diamonds or gold bars would be cheap.

What benefit would the rich derive by hoarding life extension drugs? Other people taking the same drug as you doesn't make your dose any less effective, nor vice versa.
What you're saying here is that out of laziness someone engaged in aggression rather than staying silent.

That's not how aggression works. That doesn't mean people won't rationalize, but it certainly doesn't change the cowardice.
Not to diminish the point you're making about the financial situation, I don't see how most people nowadays have high caloric needs.

In fact I believe most people today have very small caloric needs. Definitely compared to the olden days, where a 4000+ calorie diet for a farm hand would totally be OK and nobody would get fat from that.

But even physically active people won't need that today. What most people have is cravings for sugary stuff and way too easy access to sugary stuff and they get fat and unhealthy from it (even if they stay lean because of their specific metabolism and not putting on the kilos but they might still be diabetic, have high cholesterol etc.)

You parent probably eats a diet that (costs more but) is skewed towards proteins and fats and fiber and more akin to a diet one might have found prior to us discovering cheap and easy ways to make sugar and mass produce grains and process them into dead white flour.

Personal anecdote to corroborate your parent's view (i.e. `anecdata+=1`): When I went full on Keto I could easily go for just one meal a day. I just wasn't hungry and the body used up my fat stores instead. It somehow learned over some time that it no longer had access to all that quick sugar and the cravings stopped. And when I did eat, it was lots of veggies, fat and protein and only incidental carbs from those veggies basically. On the other hand, when I came off Keto I immediately noticed again that if I do eat normal carb-y breakfast, I get hungry for lunch time again, while on Keto with nothing but a coffee w/ some butter or coconut oil in it, I wouldn't get any feeling of hunger during the entire day.

Now with that said, it's probably cheaper for people to eat a sugary 3 meal diet than to eat a healthy diet of lots of protein, fat and veggies, as that's even more expensive if you don't grow a lot of it in your own garden from heirloom seeds. And who's got the time (or garden) for that like grandma did.
Yes MIT is a very permissible license, the only requirement is to include it & you can do practically anything. But they didn't even do that so I'm not sure how a different license would help?
Contrary to popular belief the C++ specification does not require conforming implementations to produce temperature, fan noise or the like.
Not cross-platform? Ngmi
That's definitely not my experience, and I wonder if it's because I joined late, after some alg change. The only semi "aggressive" things were posts about war. I clicked "not interested" a few times and haven't seen any since. I actually have zero political content on my feed, beyond AI law stuffs going on in the EU, which I'm interested in. I usually end up following the people I see in my feed, that I'm not following. For the others, I just click "not interested".

It's easily been the most on-point social media experience I've had.
And in 4K! And you don’t even need to be in your bedroom; you could do it from basically anywhere.

“Employee demographics are “diverse,” sort of—I would guess, based on a visual survey of the cafeteria at lunchtime, that about a third of the staff is South Asian, a third is East Asian, and a third is white.”

This part of the article bothered me. Why was diverse placed in quotation marks? Aren’t South Asians and East Asians considered minorities?

Also South Asians are a very diverse group in it itself. As are East Asians. Many different languages and cultures….

So why was diverse in quotation marks? Why did the author say “sort of”???
I'm using Semantic Kernel to build more complex AI systems. The technology is still maturing and you deal with things like missing abstractions and the like. The planners are intriguing and promising, and they'll be more manageable once assistants are available to make things more modular. Still, it's the best thing I've seen for building maintainable generative AI solutions.

Both can co-exist. Also, let's not forget that California lives in its own bubble, not reflective of the rest of Americana.
I suppose it’s going to depend on how many willing partners are out there with an appetite to be beholden to Big Tech as the smaller partner with less leverage. Evolve just dumped a bunch of fintech partners over the last year (conversely, they were aggressive in who they were willing to partner with), and moving is not trivial. While Apple has deep pockets, I’m sure engineering time is better spent delighting users vs engineering around partner churning.

We’re conversing about two different things.

I claimed that the federal minimum wage is too low to have an effect on wages, since the supply and demand curves for labor require employers to pay more than minimum wage to find anyone.
That's a shame. The Weta Digital tech looks great
Are you serious?

I'm using Stability in production: they kept their SDXL beta model which was capable of SDXL 1.0 level prompt adherence at a fraction of the cost up for months after was reasonable for a one-off undocumented beta, and it was a huge boon to my product.

Then a few weeks back they went and quietly cut costs to 1/5th or so what they were for SDXL and released a model that produced similar quality outputs to SDXL for my specific usecase in a fraction of the time (SD 1.6)

They're on fire as far as I'm concerned, just quietly making their product cheaper and faster.

Also Dalle 3 is in a very awkward place for programmatic access, so awkward I wouldn't call them competitive to SD for many usecases: It's got a layer of prompt interference baked in, it's expensive, latency is not very consistent. Text is a cool trick but it's still not reliable enough to expose as a core part of the generation for an end user.

While that's true - in fact you are if anything downplaying the UKs lack of free speech, as people are convicted for far less - it's not very germane to the UK having lower homicide rates.

I feel like most of us want to live in societies with freedom of speech and low homicide rates, and don't feel it has to be one or the other.
Indeed. I apologize for my mistake there.
I have two questions for the author of this essay:
1) Does this apply equally to non-fiction (the essay seems to be about primarily about novels)
2) Does she finish most books or does she quickly abandon the ones that don’t click?

My biggest problem is that there are far too many books to read and I’ll take almost anything that helps me winnow the list. So yeah, knowing what it’s about helps.

Tell HN: Simon Hughes Has Died
By most accounts, Simon isn't well known outside of the search community, but he was a brilliant community member and scientist who has done some incredible work.

Years before most people knew what an embedding was, Simon was working on making vector search mainstream. As early as 2016, he was showing how to integrate vector search into Solr (https://www.slideshare.net/lucidworks/implementing-conceptual-search-in-solr-using-lsa-and-word2vec-presented-by-simon-hughes-dicecom), and his 2019 "Search with Vectors" presentation at Haystack was a big contributor to getting the ball rolling in the search relevance community (https://haystackconf.com/2019/vectors/).

Most recently he was working with Vectara, and contributed to Vector Search, LLMs, and benchmarking hallucinations (https://vectara.com/cut-the-bull-detecting-hallucinations-in-large-language-models/). Vectara has announced they renamed HEM to be the Hughes Hallucination Eval Model in his honor.

Rest in Peace Simon.

This isn't about high-end bartending or wait staff in high-end restaurants. Most people in the service industry don't work there, and most places can't support that level of pay, so your point is moot in general application, but still accurate.

The challenge there is that to some, there is "never a right time". After Columbine, "we need time to grieve", then "we need time to heal", then next thing you know it's 'ancient history' and "we shouldn't revisit it". Next thing you know, it happens again. Rinse, repeat.

All of which is very convenient to ignoring the issue.

I noticed Amazon is building a chat bot named Q. It looks like originality is lost these days. It also will likely result in a court battle, since a chat bot named Q and another one name Q* just isn't going to work.

The fees are higher everywhere. Their pitch is "our fees are higher, but we have higher-end customers who spend more", which roughly tracks with reality. But a hot dog stand isn't gonna have whales but an upper-end store might, so it's not surprising to see less support it.
