That is authorising the transaction and it makes sense for the card issuer to handle that. It's proving that it's "you" using the card and you really intended to pay for that thing. Maybe they SMS 2FA you, maybe they hav

Then how do we explain this? https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/04/homebuyer-average-age-rises-... I feel like you are skipping over the part where people bid for houses, a process which advantages people with more

Sure, but I don't believe "some landlords fail" changes the fact that as a class, they are structurally advantaged over renters. Landlords can leverage existing assets (having 1 property helps you get more), benefit from asse

I think what OP might have been getting at is that in reality _every_ western country has assisted dying (the nurse will OD the patient on painkillers at a certain point), it's just not legally acknowledged everywhere or widely underst

It's also interesting how much worse security gets with all this RCSR oversight. Because the policy teams don't understand the technical details, they get hung up on things that don't matter so all your "security budget&

Even if you could do it perfectly (distinguish "authentic people" from slop merchants) the same old actors will do the same old things as long as the incentives are there. They will just wear "real people" like skin suit

Sometimes when I think about my home network, I think about it in terms of what will happen when I die and what I will be inflicting on my family as the ridiculous setups stop working. Or like, how much it would cost a police forensics team

Some kids learn to read (mostly) on their own. Others need patient and systematic help. My observation is that most reading education is designed for the 2nd group. Makes sense when you think about it. Author's experience is common but

This is fair. I think the complaint is that Spring is _beautiful_ in up to medium sized demos, but in any sufficiently large application you always seem to need to dig in and figure out what Spring is doing inside those annotations and do s

Sorry, parody probably doesn't come across well. I was trying to ridicule the kind of elitism that causes mssql to be "invisible" in many internet bubbles.

Yeah it's interesting, unless I lean hard on them, AI coding agents will tend to solve problems with a lot of "hedging" by splitting into cases or duplicating code. It is totally fine with infinity special cases and unless yo

AWS backup is a bit more nuanced than that; ideally the thing you want is N days of PITR (point in time recovery) and you want that across all your data stores (RDS dbs, buckets, dynamodb tables, etc etc), and you want to be able to restor

It will do worse, because people control the AI and they would be even less accountable than the politicians we have now. An AI run society is a dictatorship with extra steps. (Barring some kind of democratic AI tuning / training &#x2F

Yep, for many applications, versioning is the lightweight solve. But.. aws backup is still nice, if a bit heavy. I like common workflows to restore all stuff (ddbs, managed dbs, buckets etc) to a common point in time. Also, one of the under

Yeah the change they made was to auto shut off airdrop after 10 mins. It's just that it happened to roll out in China around the same time that many apps were banned and protesters were reported as using airdrop to pass messages. But I

I guess it depends on the authoritarian government, but a sufficiently powerful one will get the app taken down or get the bluetooth features it relies on disabled (like for airdrop in China) :/ I would say that the underlying issue is

Everything seemed way off from the responses I looked at too. Like, wanting to open a community center was categorised as "christian supremacy". Either that or this is Sokal level parody.

I think the way most people rationalise it, it's a pre-requisite for having a job. So it's income-generating and therefore morally ok to take out a loan for it.
