it's called automatic billing updaters.
like
Visa: Visa Account Updater (VAU) https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/vau Mastercard: Automatic Billing Updater (ABU)
it worked fine for sometime, but the problem is that now the stolen credentials are being refreshed now as well.
no it's like a continuation of your credit card for recurring payments.
It's called Automatic Billing Updater (ABU)
the idea is that if you ask for a new credit card after being stolen, your say utility providers or other like netflix subscriptions can seamlessly switch over to the new credit card number.
it worked fine for a while, but of course the problem is that afterwards the stolen credit card credentials started to be refreshed as well.

I’m a bit confused why so many people are commenting as if bus stop balancing doesn’t work or that transit riders won’t accept it. From 2010s and 2020s plenty of transit agencies across America have been implementing bus stop rebalancing in Los Angeles, San Francisco, dc, Seattle etc and generally it’s been successful with speeding up buses.
Of course there most of the low hanging fruit with notorious like bus stops every 200/300feet are a lot fewer and the remaining ones to rebalance are a lot harder
generally it's the opposite. people need a lot more light. an overcast window is like 50k+ lumens while a light bulb is like 500 lumens.
https://myopiainstitute.org/imi-whitepaper/imi-the-role-of-l...
lack of light is generally the leading hypothesis for why there is a myopia epidemic actually. from people being indoors most of the time for school or work.
though unfortunately scientists are still researching if it is a specific frequency of light etc... people are missing
The main issues are under the Behavior differences https://go.dev/blog/jsonv2-exp#behavior-differences
The largest problem were around behavior around nil in golang and what to convert into json and vice versa.
* The v2 will now throw an error for invalid characters outside of ut8 (before silently accepted it) which meant one had to preprocess or process again the json before sending it off to the server * the golang nil will be converted to json empty array or map (for each type). previously it was converted to json null. * json field names will be converted to golang names with case sensitivity. before it was case-insentitive and would be lowercased. this kinda caused lots of problems if the field collided. (say there's bankName and bankname in json) * omitempty was problematic as it was used for say golang amount: nil would mean omit the field in json as {} instead of { amount: null}. however it also meant that the golang amount: 0 would also be omitted as { amount: 0 } which surprising. the new omitempty will only do so for nil and empty arrays/hashmaps but no longer for 0 or false. there's a new omitzero tag for that.
Or allow building higher than one story? Like most cities around the world
There's been discussions where the "next" airport should go in the Seattle region, and the consensus is that nobody wants it. The State Legislature created a commission to try and identify some potential sites, but the public backlash was so great that they ended up submitting it's final report with no actual recommendation.
The commission was hampered by rules that stated they couldn't look into increasing the existing airports capacity.
"Survey responses also conveyed members’ views on what kind of options the Legislature permitted them to consider — the 2019 legislation prohibited considering sites in King County, or those near military bases. Some members noted that those constraints hindered their search efforts, with some doubting whether it’s possible to have a new airport operational by 2040." https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/state...
The "next" airport is basically just expanding SeaTac. There's plans to add a second terminal in SAMP https://www.portseattle.org/sites/default/files/2018-06/1805... And then even WSDOT's project for the new 509 extension is to allow freight traffic to reach the seatac airport.
Outside of that the other regional airport to be used is king county international airport -- even back in 2005 southwest looked into using it.
Paine field, while it has the capacity is not where the demand is for passengers. Secondly, I don't think many people realize the bottleneck for SeaTac airport is not just passenger traffic but freight traffic. It's why the airport commission keeps choosing sites south of Seattle aka Pierce County or Thurston County because it's close to the port of tacoma. They aren't going to choose Paine field.
The problem that this is the wrong measure to use emissions per mile, when it's really about emissions per trip.
A car flying down the freeway uses less emissions per mile, but if one is traveling 50 miles versus just walking to down the block the former is using a lot more emissions even if it is more efficient per mile.
I mean if it's on reddit or other platforms, one could do some simple search for them before they submit the post and prompt "seems like this article has already been submitted" and a checkmark if they want to bypass it.
They are constructing it right now the expansion between bellevue to renton.
https://wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/search-projects/i...
The bellevue to lynnwood section was already 'expanded' a decade ago though as one can tell, it still has traffic. They're opting to increase the tolls now.
I think it has to do with the way the city grew out north and south, with the city itself as a chokepoint (since it is surrounded by water otherwise). Common reasons people need to go from north seattle to south seattle: IKEA, Southcenter, Seatac.
I'm sure there are reasons for people to go north as well, but I have a harder time thinking of them (other than that they went south and now have to come back north).
@sean To reach UW, northgate (well it's demolished just ice skating for now lol), ballard and fremont; granted this is a bit optional, uvillage is nice to visit as well.
Also I find it a bit interesting you have a harder time thinking of interesting stuff in north seattle, I am actually sometimes annoyed having to drive north past downtown seattle to reach north seattle. I didn't really think about it but yeah ikea/southcenter are relatively easy for me to reach. :)
@uoaei Anyways regarding planning itself. Seattle is actually actively planning their next community plan, one of the items called out is whether to allow more 'urban villages' which have shops and other amenities.
For malls, Northgate should have been the north seattle mall but it's currently being redeveloped. There's U village but it's a bit high end. The other alternative of Alderwood mall isn't too bad to get to by driving but during peak traffic can be quite slow.
It's actually a bit interesting to see WSDOT's plan for i-5.
For capacity they aren't expanding I-5 directly, but expanding i-405 and sr167 instead for people trying to go past Seattle.
For i-5 within Seattle area, there are some 2030s plans to convert the hov lanes to toll lanes and reconfiguring the reversible express lane system. * I-5 Managed Lanes: SR 16 to Pierce/ King County Line * I-5 Managed Lanes: Pierce/ King County Line to I-405 * I-5 Managed Lanes: I-405 to US 2
Pretty nice website of chicagos zoning
Fyi there’s an initiative to create a nationwide (USA) zoning map https://www.zoningatlas.org/
Does it sound that unbelievable for the 2010s? There was quite a discrepancy between how the internet/computers were generally being used and the legality.
Like https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/ever-use-someone-elses... > Last week, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a case called United States v. Nosal, held 2-1 that using someone else’s password, even with their knowledge and permission, is a federal criminal offense.
Also, the courts only just legalized white hacking last year. Before that violating the terms of service was also potentially a federal crime. https://www.spiceworks.com/it-security/security-general/news...
There's a 500x margin between the estimate and their costs anyway.
It's probably more than just storing it in s3. Given their list of
Storage: $1.3 million dollars per year. Servers: $2.9 million dollars per year. Registration Fees: $6 million dollars per year. Total Bandwidth: $2.8 million dollars per year. Additional Services: $700,000 dollars per year.
"Storage" probably also includes the cost to host it on their databases or some queuing/redis etc...
I think it's satire? Or perhaps they didn't know one can send pictures and videos on Signal and assumed it was only text.
If Travis AFB is closed, maybe it'll turn into a civilian airport? Similar to how John Wayne Airport was converted from Santa Ana Army Air base.
(Mainly usa context) Most of what people commonly call "us supermarkets" are also "hypermarkets". But basically it's combining not only department stores but also with grocery stores.
For example Target used to not include groceries until recently. For Walmart it's the difference between their 'regular' Walmart and the Walmart Supercenters. (Target also has their SuperTarget variant)
Most of Fred Meyer's are 'hypermarkets' including fuel, groceries and more.
Though, the trend isn't always to ever larger stores. There's Walmart Neighborhood Market and even say small Ikea stores nowadays.
I think it's pretty exciting. Don't have to keep using regex or weird parsing to get the key values from logs that one wants.
Also a bit surprised how fast it was added to the stdlib, but perhaps there was a lot more consensus on the api compared to other golang proposals.
I've read about edgedb in the past https://www.edgedb.com/blog/we-can-do-better-than-sql where they mainly changed the query language, underlying it still uses postgres. Though not sure how successful they've been.
To clarify the issue isn't really shortage of single family homes by itself but single family homes nearby amenities (jobs etc...) Which while one can build massive freeways (Los Angeles, Atlanta etc...) eventually you'll run out of land a circular radius or end up having to build ever larger freeways to reach those suburbs.
Seattle can do this with its much smaller neighborhood roads and their roundabouts.
Many other American cities with their much larger (new) suburban roads have cars driving at 30/40 mph in the neighborhood
A masterful suggestion. Truly inspired.
It would actually solve the water crisis. What is currently happening is the government is giving away water at an underpriced value leading farmers to not implement more water conserving practices or grow less water-intensive crops. Also the water crisis in California is from agriculture practices not from urban dwellers running out of drinking water.
Just randomly setting the price of water below it's actual market price doesn't magically wave away the shortages caused when more people want to grow pistachios/alfalfa/etc... than the rivers can actually support.
Why don't you also promote the privatisation of air next? I shouldn't be breathing so much.
There is actually cap and trade to stop power plants to let them freely put carbon dioxide/other pollutants into the air. It is in effect 'privatizing' the air trying to prevent the tragedy of the commons.
So how do you manage zoning issues, including water and energy management?
Single family housing uses more water and energy per capita, generally one will be fine. And overtime one can slowly upgrade infrastructure -- as is done around the world or what happens in American neighborhoods that are upzoned. It really is a red herring of a problem that is brought up.
As we saw a good example of in Pittsburgh, how do we maintain the transportation and muni services to these new houses?
As long as one is building the new housing nearby jobs you'll be decreasing the average miles traveled. Also it is usually the other way around you need a minimum level of density to make transit more viable and useful.
What part of the system creates this difference?
American local zoning laws forbid building anything besides single family homes in the vast majority of land. Some are even stricter banning even renting out rooms in those one-story homes.
(More accurately land nearby commutable jobs, sure one can build apartments in the middle of nowhere, but the housing isn't needed there.)
This pandemic proved that we can produce a "safe and effective" vaccine in 12 months. That is apparently a record. It shouldn't be - this signals that 75% of the wait time for new cures and vaccines is red tape.
It can be kinda hard to test vaccines quickly and ethically typically as subjecting people to a disease on purpose isn't really allowed and you have to wait for them to catch it naturally and compare. Fortunately (or unfortunately) during a pandemic it's pretty easy to test vaccines as one can quickly compare one's that got the vaccine and one's that didn't effectiveness.
I have not studied the issue. Are there examples of where switching from low density to high density worked out well?
That's the default for most cities around the around besides American cities where low density suburbs eventually start building 4/5 story buildings and then taller ones.
The criminal part I am referring to is failure to pay (assuming you are able to in the scenario that one fled to another country to avoid paying)
Opting for low density make no sense if you are worried about forest fires or insufficient groundwater. Suburban houses use more water per person not less compared to urban dwellers.
The forest fires near houses are caused by the low density zoning forcing home builders to build closer and closer to forest fire prone areas.
At some point high prices are a signal that a city is full. It can also be a sign of low supply
Housing is not actually that special. It is true it doesn't behave according to the econ 101 model that most high schoolers learn in class, but in econ 201+ classes explain it.
The main difference is that land is the limiting factor or more accurately legally buildable land in this case with zoning.
