Why would people move to Romania if not for taxes? It's basically third world.

What you're saying sounds too good to be true. If it was like that nobody would pay tax and the government wouldn't be able to fund basically anything.

What would these issues be if you mind elaborating?
Something related is part of Android 15 Beta 2 released today -- "Private space lets users create a separate space on their device where they can keep sensitive apps away from prying eyes, under an additional layer of authentication. The private space uses a separate user profile. When a user locks the private space, the profile is paused and any apps in the private space are no longer active. The user can choose to use the device lock or a separate lock factor for the private space.": https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/features#pri... (there is a known bug related to it https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/release-note... that will be fixed in a hotfix in next few days.)

I remember as an IC when my boss first told me about doing biweekly 1 on 1s. I was not a fan of them at that time. But as I grew in my career, I found them useful, and realized that part of it was he was not a good manager.

I found them useful as a manager of ICs, and now that I'm a manager of managers, I also find them useful. It's good to check in and let people talk about what they want. I always start and let my reports talk what's on their mind first. I have questions to ask too. I let the conversation flow, and never take more time than necessary. Some will take for an hour and a half, some for 15 minutes. That's fine in both cases.

But weekly I think is too often, and 3-6 months is too rare. Biweekly seems the sweet spot for direct reports, but could see monthly maybe. I do bimonthly for indirect reports.

Ask HN: What payment methods should be supported in Stripe?
I developed a SaaS software, which uses Stripe for receiving money and manage subscription, however I found that many users create a checkout session, but do not complete the payment, only about 30% of the users who create a checkout session complete the checkout.

The question is: Is this proportion (about 30% finish the checkout) normal? My app is a web app and only card payment is supported now (My PayPal hasn't been approved for recurring payments). Should I support more payment methods? Are there any recommended payment methods? Or is it that my product isn’t that appealing?

> b) the 12 authors of that paper have probably put a bit of thought into the usefulness and efficacy of this kind of very early detection, and concluded it was worth reporting on their research

Nah. It's not how science is done. You fill a lot of paperwork to ask for money and then a lot of paperwork to ask for permision to use human, and after the study is finished you must publish whatever positive result you got. Otherwise you will never get more money, or will be fired, or your students will not finish their Ph.D., or never get a position.

My guess is that they actuallly think that it's a important topic and that it's an important new tool. Everyone thinks that thir own topic is important.

About the efficacy, it's an early study. They show that the method somewhat works and it may be a good idea to continue improving the method to get more accurate diagnosis, perhaps distingish the different types of cancer, or perhaps it's a dead end.

About the usefulness, it's more difficult to evaluate. It's a decition that should be made by a team with a brader vision that can analyze the alternatives and the cost of each one. The research team has always a narrow vision.
excellent read, how tangible. love the praise of the code structure. impressed on how consistent photoshop's UI is, up to contemporary versions.
Yes, and rely highly on anonymity whether through large populations (cities) or distance (telecommunications and/or transportation).

The term "confidence man" came into general usage following publication of a novel by that title by Herman Melville (of Moby Dick fame). It is set on the first great interstate highway of the United States: the steamboat-plied Mississippi River. Harking back to Roman (and Greek) times, I find it quite telling that Mercury (or Hermes) is the god of messages, travel, roads, merchants, thieves, and cunning, amongst others. There's something inherent in travel that gives rise to trickery.

(It's difficult to be fooled by those one lives closely with in small communities for long periods of time. Those may be scoundrels or be known to be untrustworthy but rarely gain confidence in Melville's sense.)

Another curious relationship I suspect about telecommunications is that they effectively reduce reliance on social factors of trust. Mind that this may increase overall societal trustworthiness in many cases, but it's through the replacement of, well, just plain raw trust (unevidenced belief) through monitoring, assessments, and independent validation. In an age before telegraph and jet airlines (or even steamships and railroads), once someone was out of eyesight and earshot, they were lost to direct control or monitoring until either they returned or an emissary could reach them, whether for hours, days, weeks, months, or years. Merchants, diplomats, ships' captains, colonial governors, and the like all operated autonomously for periods of time which would strike us as utterly alien today. Many of the practices, and much of the language used in communications, seems to me to have arisen to express, reinforce, or establish trust in such circumstances. Post-telegraphic language became, well, telegraphic (short, abbreviated, costing or paid by the word) not only due to the expense of the medium, but, carrying over to even non-telegraphic correspondence, because long sustained absences or periods of incommunicado no longer occurred.

(This is one topic touched on in The Control Revolution by James Beniger (1986): <https://openlibrary.org/books/OL2549490M/The_control_revolut...> Not to be confused with another excellent book of the same title by Andrew Shapiro, addressing the nascent Internet and World Wide Web. Which, come to think of it, also addresses the themes of trust and communications.)

Ugh, it's a little annoying that I cannot get faster than 2 gigabit internet in NYC, and it cost me like $120/month. 2 gigabit is more than fast enough for pretty much anything I do, especially since most of the stuff in my house is on WiFi anyway, but I did get my house completely wired for 10 gigabits about a year ago to try and future-proof everything.

It's frustrating that NYC is a super expensive place to live, and it's behind the times with internet speeds.

Palmer Luckey Wants to Be Silicon Valley's War King [video]
And the impact of the change to our costly and slow to build infrastructure.
I’ve had fiber at my house from day one provided by a local ISP. Comcast came in and buried their own fiber lines (years later) for all the houses in my neighborhood. Soon after, my ISP bumped my speed and lowered my monthly bill.

We desperately need more competition. It’s the only thing that actually lowers prices.

Also, I will happily pay higher prices to never pay for Comcast again. So they won’t see a penny from me.
Awesome. I'll move this up on my list of things to do. I think it would be a cool feature.
I had exactly the same issues with TouchID, and also looked forward to FaceID for the same reasons, and I too was disappointed. However, I think that FaceID was noticeably improved by turning off the 'Require Attention for Face ID' setting. Perhaps it's something to do with wearing glasses? Maybe it was a placebo effect, but try it and see if it helps you.
> In fact all forms of rebellion can be spun as terrorism.

Sure. But not all forms of rebellion (or state violence) are terrorism. If rebels (or the state in question) are focused on attacking and killing enemy combatants, it's not really terrorism, while if they are focusing on indiscriminately targeting civilians, it is.

Words have meaning. Not all violence is the same.

EDIT: Even in the most violent of contexts (war), humans have collectively agreed that some forms of violence ("war crimes") are less acceptable than others; saying things like "violence is violence" could be seen as support to the "anything goes" approach to war (which I'm sure you don't support).
> Factory reset upgrade prevents a reset by a thief. For some criminals, the goal is to quickly reset your stolen device and resell it. We’re making it more difficult to do that with an upgrade to Android’s factory reset protection. With this upgrade, if a thief forces a reset of the stolen device, they’re not able to set it up again without knowing your device or Google account credentials. This renders a stolen device unsellable, reducing incentives for phone theft.

Has this not been the case in the past?

From article one of them is: 'tpomh9yu1tffmdp6dopobwuc9h'

Just as a data point, I've sold one-time-purchase desktop software for a few years and refunds have been pretty few and far between.

I understand the fear that a bunch of people will buy it and immediately request a refund because what's to stop them! but that hasn't been my experience, and I think having a generous refund policy engenders some good will and leads to more sales.

(of course if you've actually had problems with this, disregard! :)

To address the GP's comment though - I don't know the legalities behind this, but I remember buying physical software, in boxes, from stores, where the policy was "once you open the box/break the plastic seal you can't return it" and in the digital realm it seems like downloading would be the closest proxy to that. I just think concerns about this sort of dishonesty are pretty overblown, especially on the scale of indie software.
Just throwing out ideas, but I don't think wealth flowing out is as much of a big deal as it was in the 70s. However, the opposite is the case with respect to concentration of wealth.

Also I think that the US and Europe are very different when it comes to concentration of wealth, and preserving that concentration. It is difficult to pin down why. For one, Europe is legally inferior in terms of the legal structures permitting early stage and disruptive companies. European countries are also biased toward favoring large employers in terms of preventing competition from former employees.

Ideally, you want a system where people who have generational wealth can lose it easily, as much as you want people who work really hard, and especially people who are extremely innovative to be able to catapult themselves to positions of consequence where they can determine good decision making.

Anyway, back to wealth flowing out. Europe in that respect might be the winner. LVMH and Hermes being among the largest companies in Europe by market cap, suggests the wealth is flowing in, even if Europe would likely prefer to be making money out of other less cyclical goods and services.

While OR can be performance killers, in other cases it works perfectly fine, or sometimes even better than the equivalent UNION ALL query. In this case the problem is that they are applying a LIMIT with ORDER BY so it can’t do the usual BitmapOr optimization and thus the index ends up being used purely for sorting purposes.

In my experience weekly 1:1 meetings are primarily a social status/pecking order exercise to demonstrate and reinforce who the boss is.

Having experienced various cadences of regularly scheduled 1:1 meetings, including not having them, my personal preference is: not having them, ever.

Another largely useless corporate exercise that I was completely fine not having was performance reviews.

Netflix themselves say that 15Mbps is enough for 4k.

1.2Gbps downstream is enough for >50 such 4k video streams without saturation -- something that will probably never happen in any household, even in Grandma's house on Christmas Eve with a bunch of grandkids around.

Meanwhile, I've had single-player games of Factorio of medium complexity that would saturate 20Mbps upstream.

Nobody needs a connection that is so heavily lopsided as 1.2Gbps/20Mbps is except for the marketing department, and the DOCSIS sunk-cost-fallacy department.

There's a really interesting questionvof whether people get tired of past pandemics or over react to new pandemics. Did we get tired of masks and news of how many die from Covid, or did we exaggerate CoV-2 and expect a pandemic with high mortality rate when the data didn't support it?
Sounds like XGS-PON which is limited to around 8Gbit/s and those are shared with up to 64 other customers. If you constantly use it at prime time they could get angry way sooner when the other customers on your PON tree start complaining.

The best way will be to ask users.

Your product will be appealing because your users are trying to pay and others are paying already.

For missed checkouts, you can open a popup asking why they are canceling.

Keeping it a one-click option selected will increase the odds of user answers. With options like Either they think pricing is high or missing a feature etc.
this is pretty cool!

one minor design feedback point if you don't mind - the range selector makes me think its a round trip selector since thats what i'm used to from other flight booking sites/apps but on this site its just a range from when the one way will take off.

i see round trip feature is coming soon, but it might be worth adding some messaging there to be clearer!

IMO, startups rarely have a process issue. They have a management issue. Process is bureaucracy. It adds no value but it helps to minimize the harms of over hiring which is something all big companies do in their quest for job creation.
> But how does a pure prediction engine make decisions? Make a judgement call? Analyze inconsistencies? Theorize?

My intuition leads me to believe that these are arising properties/characteristics of complex and large prediction engines. A sufficiently good prediction/optimization engine can act in an agentic way, while never had that explicit goal.

I recently read this very interesting piece that dives into this: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kpPnReyBC54KESiSn/optimality...

> slavery and had to die so that humanity could progress. Slave labor is vastly less efficient than having serfs that can keep

And the Roman empire had in large part shifted to serfdom in its later periods as the supply of cheap slaved dried up.

> That allowed producing more food with less workforce

Also the population collapsing resulted in significant increase in per capita productivity (more land per person)
That was merely the usual Russian tactical 'Trade Space for Time and Advantage' policy, as used many times before, as in Napoleon's time and in Adolf's time.

Except as an offensive strategy (recall that the goal of the SMO was to execute a quick decapitation strike in 3 weeks or so, throw a giant victory parade before cheering crowds, and go home -- per Putin's original plan), this clever "policy" might not work so well. Plus it requires a budget of 27 million casualties to throw at the task, like back in Adolf's time.
> Even people like you who seem to think they are above addiction.

Personal experience but Alcohol, Tobacco, opioids etc and never felt the pull. I tried smoking for a little under a year but didn’t really care for it. Used to drink fairly regularly but just kind of got bored with it to the point a found out beer eventually goes bad in your fridge.

Ok that may be personal bias in terms of use. I remember one guy saying enough LSD could replace sleep and things didn’t go well for him or a lot of other people.

So yes, I knew quite a few people that used it daily, but though none were able to function long term like that. Dad and various friends were connected to Timothy Leary and that’s about as much as I am comfortable sharing.
Slightly different experience, but logged into my friends Google TV the other day and it had all my apps and I was correctly signed into everything, background and screensaver all set up. Very smooth experience.
