Your function second is no worse than head or last. I think you chose a difficult example. [a]->[a] or a->a would be simpler, if a bit boring.

I dont't think Stripe is being misleading, but many people might be overstating the importance of this feature. Even without this conversion, you can always (try to) accept payments denominated in U$ from people with Brazil-issued (or

I guess you got this already from the post, but if anything the situation in Japan is worse. Programmer salaries are roughly comparable to (continental) Western European salaries (after discounting for living cost differences), so much lowe

Some processors return a numeric risk score, or a ternary result (OK,Review,Denied). Then the merchant might choose to review the transaction if the risk score is above a certain threshold (or the result is Review), then cancel or capture i

The ending says that "any recipient" can initiate a payment, but of course that's not true; see OP's complaint.

Presumably fajitas didn't mean that the graph proves the article's claim is true; just that the graph is close to what root comment asked for. Indeed it's evidence that the article's assertion is false.

That happened to me after being stopped by the police in Tokyo. They wanted to search my bag, I refused. Since I wasn't a suspect of anything and they had no warrant, they couldn't actually take my bag and search it without my con

To be fair, in Tokyo only a few subways lines have such safety doors.

Should we be worried by that? I presume there's some qualitative differences between desk-dwelling bacteria and toilet-seat-dwelling bacteria.

I'm not from Stripe, but I think I can answer: you're fine. Porn businesses are avoided mainly due to high fraud rates (including friendly fraud, when the cardholder buys the website services and later falsely claims their card nu

> If the price of the dollar collapses, you can sell it to the Fed I think this is a dubious argument. It describes what happens most of the time, when the value of the dollar fluctuates. But what if the collapse of the dollar is accom

I've worked with several PMs who had technical chops. Note that not everyone who has the chops necessarily love programming. Also, as others pointed out, in many companies a PM earns more than any technical person.

It's exactly like a random walk except that once in a while the walker gets teletransported.

I don't think grandparent comment is arguing that. The post is about a transfer of 195k bitcoins (not dollars) from one wallet to another, all at once. However, as grandparent comment points out, the title is inaccurate: even if this t

TIL that Amazon doesn't deliver on Sundays in the US. In Japan (well, at least in cities) pretty much everything works on Sundays.

> Low cost of living for a city of its caliber. Rent: <$1k/mo. Food: if you cook, less than $0.5k/mo. Eh, I suppose you can call that cheap if you compare it with NYC and San Francisco... Even in Tokyo you can get a 1BR fo

Yeah, this needs a "fretless" version. It's interesting how the discretised version sounds much less creepy, though.

It's not fair to call this "the" libertarian solution just because this guy proposes it and calls himself libertarian. I haven't seen Rothbard or Friedman advocating wanton killing of government employees.

Well, the original comment by L_Rahman is saying basically that. Except that it's phrased more like "while not everything is ok and you cannot just ignore the way the workers get abused, you also have to to consider that having mo

1) Use a payment processor that supports partial capture. 2) Only capture when the shipping is complete. 3) Do a full capture, and refund promptly if you/seller can't ship the rest. This is technically not allowed but some merchan
