Let's say you are a bank and you make $10 on each $100K transfer. If customer disputes a transaction and you must return the money, you lose the whole amount and twice as much on lawyers, internal audit, compliance people working on th

No bank got fined for not root checking, correct. However banks are on the hook for unauthorized transactions. And "unauthorized" means different thing in different countries. In some jurisdictions if bank can prove that transacti

Well, I've built a bunch of mobile banking apps and we did detect if the phone was rooted, was in dev mode, etc. and it is not because we were "stupid, consumer-hostile, and anti-competitive". If someone steals the secrets fr

I could use a 3D powerpoint. Even the most basic, boring arrows and boxes will look better in 3D. Some of the slides in a preso I use almost daily would convey the message better if they were in 3D.

I would argue that accurate sizing is not that important as labor constitutes the bulk of the cost. My total bill was about $20K and going for 30% less capacity would net about $19K so its easier just to go for the maximum. Calling in an IR

Hey, corruption is rampant on each and every continent, except Antarctica. Asia is not the worst by far. Why are you singling out Asia specifically?

So "blowing smoke up one's arse" isn't a completely baseless resuscitation technique after all.

As a child growing up in Central Asia, I saw people piling up stones, sticks, and other debris along the ancient lines people used to control herds and wild animals. The ones built for hunting often had a narrow, funnel-like end, while thos

I don't know, looks like hunting walls to me. When chased, animals naturally follow such walls, however insignificant they are (sometimes they follow even a line drawn on the grass), and get onto predictable trajectory leading them int

Does it exist? I could not find a wikipedia article about it. This Gobi Wall can not be a part of what is known as the Great Wall of China as it was built 5 centuries later, no? Can someone explain?

There is a difference in the way it went for Saudis and Iranians. Saudis, not having the tech, capital, knowledge at the time, still retained ownership. Iranians did not. Saudis had enough bargaining power (and balls), Iranian Shakh agreed

One does not need to develop the tech to own the oil and monetize it. Those who developed the tech can be hired.

This got me thinking: I use heatpumps but I still have baseboard heaters in each room and all the piping between them. Thinking if I can connect my office fridge to it somehow and thus expel the heat somewhere far away in the garage instead

It is a solved problem for those who can install fans, filters, exhaust and intake valves far away from the room itself and just carry the stale and fresh air via ducts. Always fresh air without noise and mosquitoes.

For context: number of earthquakes which potentially may generate tsunamis is measured in hundreds per year across the planet. Number of potential tsunami events for any given "coast" is measured in single digits per year. In the

This data augments USGS earthquake data and tsunami simulation data, so it is far better than "fundamental analysis". I am guessing it will not take long to train a simple neural network to do the job.

US banks lose about 3x more to fraud than average and about 10x more than some countries with sane regulators. Those are direct losses, not accounting for "prevention, detection, and recovery" costs.
