The comments on HN are always full of ostensibly deep quips or questions but the work to connect them to scientific or philosophical questions is absent. That's the part that doesn't scale.
This is interesting, and I think I agree. I tend to view those who self-promote too often as either arrogant or compensating for lack of ability; but if you don't self-promote at all, e.g. in the 'good' way via marketing, I see it as a lack of ambition or confidence because they don't let anybody know about them or their work.
India has UPI. The RBI spun it up in what, a couple years?

The issue isn't technological, it's this notion in the US that rent-seekers ought to exist and be enabled. Your Paypal/Venmo, CashApp, etc. enable things, for a cut of the transaction, that you can do for exactly zero dollars in India.

Thats a good point. That's probably a way better way to run an interview than anything else. Back in my highschool band, our band director used to say "play how you practice, and practice how you play" - this sounds like that rule applied pretty effectively. At the end of the day, our colleagues are people we problem solve with, so we should test things like that when we're hiring
Even long before banking became digital, most European countries had an efficient bank transfer system in place in parallel to checks.

Both have their advantages, and I accordingly find it baffling that the US only got one, but not the other, and even more baffling that this has largely survived the transition to digital transfers (consumers usually can't initiate ACH credit transfers to third parties directly).
Pedantic observation - maybe you could get a woman to do the flip on your splash demo video? It seems like a wedding flip book like that would be better and more aesthetically congruous if demonstrated with female hands.

> By definition, tariffs (wherever they are) are always self inflicted harm on the opposite of a libertarian ideology where as cutting a contract because you don't like the company is exactly that.

That doesn't mean it is not a "self inflicted harm" in essentially the same way, it just means you believe you have some justification that outweighs the harm. But there is no reason why you couldn't justify tariffs in some way (e.g., because you don't like the country).
AH nice, I was not aware of this. Thanks (It is expensive, though...)
Yes, and I find that baffling. Many countries have had push transfers for decades.

Germany and Austria, for example, had standardized slips of paper that the payer could send to/drop off at their bank to instruct them to wire money to some payee at a nominal or no fee. The big advantage over checks is that there's no possibility of overdrawing, and as a payee, once you saw the money in your account, you knew the transfer was final (unlike for deposited checks, which can bounce).

This also means that there is much less risk for banks to open "checking" accounts, as the biggest risk for depository banks, i.e. that of potentially bounced checks, just does not exist, which in turn means that "unbanking" is much less of a concern.
The Canadian PM, Cabinet, Provincial, and Territorial leaders have stepped forward in what they'd been war-gaming for quite some time, as have party, business, and labour leaders. While most of them are going for Churchillian tones, Alberta's PM seems to be channeling a mix of Neville Chamberlain and Vidkun Quisling, and Saskatchewan's PM lets slip similarly undermining thoughts. Then you have the Kevin O'Leary Ferengi-types who see profit in backing the U.S. president's plans, plain and simple.
I think I was being generous using the phrase "nearly unhinged"
You can understand the WASM spec in your sleep if you’ve ever worked through a type-system paper from the last two decades (or a logic paper from even earlier I guess).

Granted, not many people have, but there’s a reason why it makes sense for it to be written in that style: they want it to be very clear that the verification (typechecking, really) algorithm doesn’t have any holes, and for that it’s reasonable to speak the language of the people who prove that type of thing for a living.

The WASM spec is also the ultimate authoritative reference for both programmers and implementers. That’s different from the goals of an ISA manual, which usually only targets programmers and just says “don’t do that” for certain dark corners of the (sole) implementation. (The RISC-V manual is atypical in this respect; still, I challenge you to describe e.g. which PC value the handler will see if the user code traps on a base RV32IMA system.)
People said that about GDPR. Laws that don't leave any room for interpretation are bound to have loopholes that pose unacceptable risk to the population.
Probably pointing at exploding bottles; I've made probably 40 batches of ginger beer and when I would 'burp' the bottles I never had an issue. Decided once to try out not doing so and had six hours of clean up. But otherwise you're probably fine. Just let out carbonation morning and night, it takes a minute or so.
Python was on the right spot as Tcl/Perl successor, Ruby only became known thanks to Rails and arrived too late for that.

Already in early 2000's CERN was scripting their builds, Fortran and C++ tooling with Python.

Their Grid Computing tutorials, predating what we now call Cloud, already used Python.

Is it this one[0]? I saw it earlier, but I didn’t realize it could receive notifications, and the product page doesn’t mention it either.

Were you referring to that icon in the top left corner of the display that looks like it could be a notification counter? If yes, then that’s a fair point, but just being able to see the number of notifications is not the same as being able to see notifications (especially since it doesn’t seem like it would even tell you which app the notification is from, let alone what it was).

I would love to be corrected in case I am wrong, because it could be entirely possible that I am not even looking at the correct watch.

Dumpsters would go where trash goes now. Instead of trash sitting on the street, the same trash will sit inside dumpsters.
This is an excuse, as an "emergency" is (effectively) the only way that such tariffs can be applied without input from Congress at all.

It's also likely a lie, given the number of lies told by Trump and his supporters. The two groups which should not be believed on this are the DEA (whose entire raison d’être is predicated on making things far scarier than they are so they can increase their power — I believe they are behind the proven lie that "touching fentanyl can kill you", which it can't) and the Trump administration (because the volume of lies spewed daily would overwhelm the New York City sewer system).

Do you have any reputable sources?
Yeah, I used to hire people, but then one of them made a mistake, now I'm done with them forever, they are useless. It is not I, who is directing the workers, who cannot create a process that is resistant to errors, it's definitely the fact that all people are worthless until they make no errors as there truly is no other way of doing things other than telling your intern to do a task then having them send it directly to the production line.
but in most cases they were dead before they were in the museum. In some cases dead before capitalism even existed. I don't really see how this amounts to a criticism of the museum itself (or capitalism alongside it). (I will agree in the cases where they were not: there are certainly a lot of infamous examples there, where even if the objects were dead relative to the culture that created them, they are also being seperated from the closest culture that exists today)
I actually had a less than pleasant surprise when debugging sidekiq process with a higher than usual threads count, and noticing 100ms-multiples in my traces. 100ms before switch indeed seems to be too high for an app with a potential to misbehave.

> It's still baffling to me that the US, unlike most other countries, have never developed "push" bank/credit transfers.

My (US) bank has this functionality. It's a real pain to set up, and most people I know will prefer Venmo/Paypal, or god help me Zello, before a bank-to-bank transfer.

> my bank and I can agree on any security measures we like

Well … so it's more like my bank and I can agree on any security measures the bank likes. My opinion doesn't matter to them, or there'd be some actual cryptography involved.

My bank's set up / "security" involves an odd song and dance of depositing a few cents into the destination's bank account over multiple transactions over multiple days, and then using the transaction amounts as some sort of authentication.

I've done it for transfers that exceed what I am comfortable sending on the payment services above. (And I don't have/use checks.)
> Check writing is becoming a rarity, and many first-time senders find the process daunting

Now, I am scared of even the thought of pulling out my pen and writing. And you merely call it daunting?

Some people assume people will fucking buy anything when wrapped by a pretty website eh?
But would this train people to teach well?

Or would it train people to choose topics very carefully, such that a little teaching skill goes a long way?

It's not like the interviewer getting a lesson in tuning a harmonica is going to bust out a harmonica and start putting his newfound knowledge to work, or revisit the subject in 6 months to see if he's retained the knowledge, or bring in a panel of harmonica tuning experts to check there weren't any major gaps or mistakes in the lesson.

probably not worth the manufacturing effort, but if you could make a book that flips on both sides, with different clips, that would potentially be novel enough to pass virality coefficients.

You'd need some radically different zig-zag binding process ... sounds like a lot of effort but might pay off.

Mr. Robot had one of the craziest endings I have ever seen in a show. I'll admit I had a tough time watching it around S2 because so much was unexplained, and I felt like I was going insane.

So glad I stuck it out though, I still think about it.
Can you recommend sources about the deregistration of 3.2M voters, please?
I wrote 37 checks in the last 12 months, not counting my bank's online Bill Pay which itself is just an automation for writing and mailing physical checks. If you counted Bill Pay, I've probably paid with checks about 100 times in the last year. Like others said, mostly contractors and service providers for the home, and regular utility bills. Also property taxes. I go through checks like crazy.
It is a very rare person that sees the actual value of history. Mostly because it tells us stuff we don't want to hear.
Also, the apps have limits. There have been times where someone was giving me a value larger than the apps would allow due to daily limits, and was going to force multiple transactions at the max amount. Or, they could write a check, and the full deposit could be made.

At the end of the day, if someone is trying to give you money using a valid form of payment, why would you not accept it. Driving to the bank to make a deposit (again, value too high for app check deposit) is a minor deviation to my day, but am I going to say no because of that. Some people are just weird with their protests to checks.
>However, I’m wondering if another customer base can be someone who has bank bill pay but wants to float the funds until the check is cashed. Maybe they don’t have the actual funds yet but want to write a check against funds they expect to have soon (risky but people do it).

>Do you restrict writing checks that are for an amount greater than the current account balance?

There's no reason to. You can already write a check for more than your account balance. The service also generates the checks using your account number, so they're not taking on any credit risk in case your account is overdrawn.
Taken as one of a thousand attributes it's likely to provide at least some discriminatory lift in isolating a single user, even if tiny.
I've been a dedicated geek and a firm believer that there's always an xkcd for every situation for quite a while but I don't think I'm at a place where I'm referring to comics by their number. Being said, I could imagine a comic about just this particular topic with cueball doing something that could be considered a reference then quietly giggling to himself while muttering "219" or w/e is the number of the appropriate comic.
The C++ language itself shouldn't be tied to any one specific application or third party tool, though. Just because they exist doesn't mean you are forced to use them, this is one of those cases where f strings don't make a lot of sense. Things with localized labels or text ideally have an id that gets looked up, so you can't do English-based string composition. Every locale gets looked up, no "just pass through the key if locale X", and lookup failures don't "still work", they result in super obvious, user-reportable nonsense.
You're right, when I tried again the field was hidden behind a link. Last time I checked (sometime last month) it was a field that defaulted to bsky.social (maybe within the account name?). Or I could be misremembering.

In any case, my previous comment is wrong indeed.

Very clever. Love the idea.
You think more people would be satisfied with coming into loud noisy open offices everyday with constant interruptions than being at home? There have also been plenty of studies about how long it takes people to get back on task after an interruption and studies about the deleterious affects of long commutes. Not to mention increase risk of car accidents (unfortunately every link I found was from a law office).

And let’s not forget about disease spreading (even before COVID), increase cost of childcare, and how RTO affects mostly women more than men because they are more often than not the primary caretakers of children and aging parents.

It’s not just about children who are too young to be in school. It’s about children too young to stay at home when they are sick. Speaking of which, there is the entire knock on effect of parents sending kids to school sick because they have to go into the office and can’t get last minute childcare.

But most day to day work doesn’t require “creativity”. At most it requires bouts of collaboration and maybe creativity and then everyone goes in their corner and does their own work and can collaborate remotely - pull requests, online screen sharing, shared documents you can edit, “virtual war rooms”, etc.

The first time I worked at a company where the rest of my team was in another city, I had no problem driving 200 miles each way once a quarter (and get reimbursed at the IRS mileage rate) once a quarter. Later as I got into consulting, we could all hop on a plane and meet at a central office somewhere or with a client.
I’m concerned, given Brazil’s dark march down the road of censorship as seen with Alexandre de Moraes banning people on Twitter, that these regulations will be abused and used to limit free speech and skew politics. Regulations like those on “disinformation” are also often selectively applied.

I also don’t think it is reasonable to prevent people from inferring or predicting things based on learned factors. It’s one thing if an AI is directed to be discriminatory. But if it learns that one particular trait or the other is predictive of something else, should we really be banning that? I can see that having bad consequences. For example, younger males are more likely to drive recklessly - if they are scored higher for risk, is that really a bad thing?

Stepping back, I think this is part of a long trend of states over-regulating themselves into stagnation. I think this political culture is going to severely hurt them in the long term. Anyone who wants to build a great business will just go do it elsewhere.
I haven't had a checkbook in 5 years. I did have one for the 25 years before that. But then nobody wanted a check from me anymore, so I decided not to spend the money on a box of checks when I moved.

I have one person I need to pay each month with a check. They get it mailed to them from my credit union's bill pay service. Anyone else can either accept cash, ApplePay, Zelle, or a card.

This to me seems similar to the app I use to fax things. It costs $1 a page I think? And is totally worth it for the one time I need to fax a document every five years or so.
I highly enjoy it, thank you very much
You could also print double sided, in order to have a video on both sides of your “flip” - kind of a double whammy on the product for about the same amount of effort.
I'm thinking about two things, or two catalogs of softwares:

1. A 64-bit Windows 2000 continuation project that retains the UI but applies every security patches since then. Is it even possible? Would some security patches need a new kernel? I'm not technically good enough to answer.

(Or, a completely debloated Windows 10 -- by saying debloated I meant a complete removal of telemtries, ads, shops, whatever, and I do not know why I need .Net at all if I don't need the applications)

2. Modern code IDEs based on the same idea, maybe a better Visual Studio but written in native C++, just like a continuation of Visual Studio 6 without getting into .Net.

P.S. my view of .Net is uneducated and biased. I think they slow down the OS and Apps but I have zero clue, so I'm probably wrong. Maybe the .Net code in Visual Studio is as efficient as the C++ code but it's just the product is not modular enough so we have those 10 seconds start up and other slowdown issues.
This is not a 'web standard', but rather a proposal (to who?).

What we found was bill pay is a lot slower and doesn’t give you any indication of if and when the check is cashed because they deduct that amount on the day you send.

So that might be another reason your dad might be doing this.
