Investopedia has an interesting article, search "dormancy fee", but it's about credit cards, still doesn't seem like it could be legal for Paypal either.
Wrong. deckiedan and swat535 have it correct. Scarcity of money isn't evil, being poor isn't evil. People survived fine for thousands or hundreds of thousands of years before the concept of money existed. It's about the evil of coveting what your neighbor has so bad it can lead to evil actions.
> I'm 100% in the old-school, self-managed local media camp, but I'm well aware that I'm an extreme minority and can't expect mass-market companies to cater to my use case.
We are now the Eloi and mass-market companies are the Morlocks.
"Safety. Yes, Rust is more safe. I don’t really care. In light of all of these problems, I’ll take my segfaults and buffer overflows."
"I understand that many people, particularly those already enamored with Rust, won’t agree with much of this article. But now you know why we are still writing C, and hopefully you’ll stop bloody bothering us about it."
What happens if 100% of people decide they don't want to be the chump paying for UBI and we all go on UBI? With no one left making money, there's no way for the country to make pay UBI payments.
Using UBI as an argument to eliminate theft crime is like paying terrorists, it doesn't work in the long run; you only end up funding a future, more effective terrorist or criminal who will demand more and more.
Weird, I have no need I can see for rootless and on multiple machines no issues installing Docker on Ubuntu including using either the Ubuntu repo or the Docker repo. It just works.
Google Mac hibernate issues. Over 1 million results. Windows, over 3 million.
I gave up on hibernation being a valid concept in the 1990's, there's too many things that can go wrong and computers are more complex today.I don't use hibernation and Docker has no issues.
Self-taught starting over 40 years ago for fun, then transitioned to FT around 28 years ago. Books, time and mainly a driving passion to write code, get it working and often even make it useful is how I got started. No college but several corporate paid courses in the interim and learned a lot from experienced co-workers over the years, some were degreed, some were self-taught and some of the degreed actually were very good.
Depends on the use case, sometimes a list is more appropriate. On an old machine, Java 17 can iterate a list of 30 million strings looking for a match in around a half second. Just checked it in jshell. If the use case was that the map's keys could potentially change over the lifetime of the map or if the value's were not idempotent and if iterating 30 million items occurs fairly infrequently, then an ArrayList (in Java) might be the best choice.
It sounds like that was a horrific event. The inverse also happened under communist regimes though, since you bring it up, out of context of Java and AAA (triple A) gaming which is the definition most widely recognized by the HN audience in my view: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimes_against_humanity_under_...

Correct, AI is based on computer mechanics, a model, a model that can go south when even a single input medium provides sufficiently nonsensical input.
