So is ISO20022 the future then? There should* be a standard system that all the networks stick to... instead of the hodgepodge of bullshit there is now.


I really wonder what a future would look like without companies like Visa/Mastercard/Discover/AMEX.


Painful memories of when you tell brands your data is coming in as ASCII and they have it as EBCDIC.


I referred to it as "the woes" but yes I agree with your choice of words as well. As an experienced technology builder I generalize the struggles I vividly recall and it often involves parties not doing the real work and therefore they lack the comprehension of the details that are all that truly matters. This applies to a lot of things today, tech included, where most have no idea how anything works and the solution typically boils down to, did you power cycle it?


I got my last company certified with Visa and Mastercard for authorization and clearing. It's funny how they call it a standard but it's anything but that. There were some similarities but a lot of subtle differences which made the process 10X harder. Mastercard was the worst to deal with.


I completely agree.


Same here. Really liking it asking it Unreal C++ trivia.


"Privacy is foundational to Amazon Halo, and multiple layers of privacy and security are built into the service to keep data safe and in customers’ control. Health data is encrypted in transit and in the cloud, and customers can download or delete their data at any time directly from the app. Body scan images are automatically deleted from the cloud after processing, so only the customer sees them. Tone is enabled by creating a personal voice profile, after which it begins capturing short samples of speech and providing insights and daily recaps. Speech samples are always analyzed locally on the customer’s phone and automatically deleted after processing—nobody, not even the customer, ever hears them. Learn more about Amazon Halo privacy features."

Playing devils advocate, but it doesn't sound like they retain any data unless you opt into a third party program. Also the emotional part sounds really creepy.

"For example, Tone results may reveal that a difficult work call leads to less positivity in communication with a customer’s family, an indication of the impact of stress on emotional well-being."

Yeah, no thanks. I don't need a machine to help me regulate my emotions. Coming to a dystopian future near you, a call center using Tone. "It appears you didn't sound positive enough in your last call! Please try harder or you will get written up."

I'm surprised they called it Halo. First thing I thought of was the video game from Bungie.


Couple things, since surveillance organizations like tech companies and government intelligence bureaus have been known for weasel words:

>Speech samples are always analyzed locally on the customer’s phone

OK, and are they ONLY analyzed there? Are they also uploaded anywhere? Are they also analyzed anywhere else?

>automatically deleted after processing

Deleted from where? The local storage? See above, what if it's also uploaded somewhere else?

>nobody, not even the customer, ever hears them.

No human? Are transcriptions created that could be reviewed by a human?


I'm not disagreeing with you. I don't trust Amazon. I think the questions you mentioned above are what people should be asking.

I just interpreted what I read on the site.


I never used the Apache big data suite daily.

I had a project in college where we tried to add a feature to Hadoop. Half the battle was spent trying to pass their test cases and figuring out why we couldn't build the program due to dependency issues.

Even though we were trying to build w/Hadoop's docker image, each team member had issues unique to them. The documentation definitely didn't help.


I've had some decent experiences at university. I enjoyed talking with professors in my field, meeting some incredibly talented people, and learning things I probably wouldn't have learned outside of uni.

High school was useless and terrible though.


They'll either avoid talking about China or attempt to "address" attendees concerns. If they do "address" attendees concerns it'll be something superficial to try and tide people over while they ride out their spate of bad PR. Like they're doing right now with Blitzchung and reducing his ban to six months which is still outrageous.


They would have to announce Diablo 5 to distract anyone.
