> when it comes to cookies, consent is almost always required

We are in agreement. It seems I wasn't clear enough in my original post, but this is my overall point. GDPR doesn't require consent, but consent is required because of ePD.

> latest draft of its new version

> So Matomo can still do without the user consent

The new draft is not law yet. It's been 6 months away from passing for several years now. In the meantime, fines are still being issued under the existing law. Google got fined a hundred million euro last month in France, and that fine was very specifically ePD and not GDPR for a variety fo reasons.
Isn’t it the case that only 10 or so US movies are allowed in China in any given year? I figure that we optimize our 10 movies for China and then leave the rest alone.
They could rewrite @mention urls on recycled accounts to a /recycled page that explains this.
Tiny projectiles can be accelerated to speeds so high that fusion reactions are ignited upon impact. This means you can get more energy out than you put in... from a distance. Like most technologies in space, it can be a weapon and/or propulsion system.
Broadcast radio is dying to the point that it's difficult to purchase a high end FM tuner now-- pretty much anything that exists is old models. Heck, used XDR-F1HD regularly sell for twice their original price. In many places big chunks of the dial are vacant, and where it isn't a few companies own most of the stations.

The public and the industry needs more pirate radio -- if the political will to undo the regulatory capture that's killed LPFM can't be fixed quickly.

Instead of enhancing penalties, they should instead be limited to actual damages for signal interruption to licensed stations plus no more than 2x whatever licensing would have cost had the FCC been willing to issue a license, which they're usually not.
> The IRS knows what you owe and could just tell you if they wanted to.

I must admit I've always sort of blindly believed the same thing, but here I am year after year accumulating and submitting my own absurd set of turbo-tax button smashes.

Honestly I have trouble figuring out how much I owe myself. I would believe that they have some core set of data linked to my SSN, and every time I submit they run some sort of markov-chain statistical model that says - "meh, looks pretty close. No need for further review. Please pay the refund to the latest identity scam." or "red flag for actual review".

100% chance the IRS is understaffed, running legacy spaghetti, managed by folks just trying not to be the next scape-goat so they can go home to their family and watch the next episode of what everyone at work is talking about.
Go on YouTube. There are whole courses on there. For some slightly better quality you can also explore Udemy, which is always running sales on courses.

If you google “Learn (language)” or “(language) tutorial” there are good beginner tutorials for every major language.

My first language in the 80’s was BASIC which is a great starter language, I’d say see if you can find that and then jump to Python which is still pretty easy to grasp but touches on a lot of universal coding concepts. It’s also very practical and useful in industry.
Great feedback!

I'll fix the theme switch and add some common tuning settings (like drop-D) to the tuning config popup :D

Thanks

I read HN about 50/50 on desktop vs mobile, and deliberately stay logged out on mobile so that I don't accidentally vote up/down. I tend to not hit hide just because I scroll on the left side of the screen, but staying logged out doesn't protect against that.
The usual stuff; Do everything in public in the community. Make your public GitHub the place you do internal deployments from, so that you ensure everything deployed internally is public. Contribute back to your dependencies' upstream projects with bug reports/triage, patches, test cases and reviews. Contribute back to the distros you use, with bug reports, packaging updates, patches, testing etc. As well as funding US EPA developers to do this work, fund the most important projects you use through donations or support contracts or whatever else is available.
Is this a DoS script that could be used for DDoS if the user coordinates its run from different origins? A quick look at the readme doesn’t say where the first “D” (distributed) comes from.
Not sure how reliable you might consider this source, but here's some information: https://medium.com/@tradertimm/vitaliks-quantum-conundrum-34...
First, the 5th amendment protection against revealing a password seems completely wrong to me, i.e. I'd expect it to get overturned at some point. The point of the 5th amendment was to prevent forced confessions, not to somehow block access to evidence (which the justice system is otherwise entitled to).

Second, the protection doesn't apply if you're given immunity (because, again, it's not about blocking access to evidence). So if the court provides immunity and then orders you to reveal the password and you claim you can't because you don't know... the 5th amendment will not help you.
Running with people is even better than running alone if it's an option for you. Communities like "Park Run" and "Good Gymn" and no doubt many others multiply the benefits of simply running.
Coreboot is C/ASM though.
I should have really mentioned "there hasn't been an intra-european war in a long time" as one of the definite upsides. So I'll happily concede that this was one of the driving forces behind the very beginnings of the European project.
But for the last 30-40 years, there has been a very clear neoliberal agenda throughout Europe, and as detailed above, it's not a good development for most people.
For now, the nationalists have mostly focused on "non-Europeans" as the scapegoats, but e.g. in Germany, the "lazy Greeks" have had their (un)fair share of xenophobia too, and I don't see that getting better as we keep pitting the poor against the even poorer. So now we stand to lose what little unity we have to a market "religion" and its fallout.
In my view it depend on two philosophical questions; does the journal exist when it rests in the safe, and does information exist when it is encrypted?

To simplify it, let's imagine a one time pad encryption. Does the information exist, or does it only exist in potentia? I think there is a good argument in favor of defining it only in terms of potential information as any one time pad can represent any information of the same length (or smaller if we accept padding).

With Schrödinger's cat experiment we could create a similar setup for the journal but it's questionable if we can still apply the perspective that the journal only exist in potentia. From the cat's perspective it knows if it exists or not. The encrypted information however has a more metaphysical environment and it is more questionable if it can be said to have a similar perspective.
Buterin was briefly involved with people trying to efficiently simulate quantum computers (https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/106215696645222809...).

I don't know much about the details of this particular attempt , but the strategy is not ridiculous on its face. Very implausible, yes, but it contradicts no theorem nor any established law of physics. Mostly, it's implausible because many people have tried very hard to find efficient classical simulations of quantum computers and all have failed.
Yep. The only reason I use Markdown is for math equations (and yes I am aware of unicode math but it'snot enough). It's nice to see them rendered. Alas, not all Markdown editors have good equation support. And most of them behave horribly with RTL texts...
Mind expanding on what you mean by 'desolated'?
The Hacker News + Slashdot of finance/trading is http://wilmott.com/. Check out the articles, peruse the forums. http://tickerforum.org is also superb, no-bs.

I'd also recommend reading Nassim Taleb's books Fooled By Randomness and The Black Swan (info at his website http://fooledbyrandomness.com/) along with one he recommends:

What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars

http://infraredpress.com/

Those will all teach you what not to do, which is just as, if not more important in investing and trading than what to do.
FYI, you could also object on the basis of 3) Strong AI is essentially an impossible endeavor.
It would be great if you had more locations that favour non-Amazon customers though I understand why you would prioritise that first.

I mostly use Linode https://www.linode.com/speedtest and the locations of AWS are generally good for Amazon but bad for other services. For example in London nearly all smaller hosting providers, as well as major peering connectivity, is based around the LINX locations such as Telehouse.

Latency to the database is key, but without moving to AWS (which I wouldn't want to do for price and performance reasons) I couldn't achieve a low enough latency here to consider it.

Another thing... "sign-up for free" quickly followed by "enter payment method". Which is it? I wanted to sign up, in part just to receive future notifications and also to get a sense as to the qualitative feel of your dashboard tools. For reasons outlined above, I'm not going to buy a service today.
google reader to collate around 75 sources. I mostly just skim headlines. The nice thing about the reader is that even when stuff is off the front page I can go a few days without checking in and then catch up.
Yeah, I'd like to see "Best UI/UX of 2010". Not to degrade the work they've done, some of these designs are really nice, but it's more like "art", than something functional.
It will be interesting to see how the strike dissipates, or fails to dissipate, based on the effectiveness of prisoner's communication networks.
Umm actually I didnt think anybody was stupid. I was questioning my own intelligence (and/or coolness) in fact since I could not fathom paying that extra price for reduced power (last I checked the MBPs werent even the real quad cores!).
I was just curious as to what proportion of developers were being attracted to macs for their coolness vs the ability to get into the apple market. I had a feeling it was the coolness (given unix + nice UI) but wasnt sure if it was more compelling than an Ubuntu (atleast the latest incarnation of it).
Would've been much more interesting had some concrete examples been given. Anybody here know of any?
I go to Borders all the time to find things I should buy on Amazon. I rarely buy anything. Why would I when I can get the same book half price and have it in 2 days (or now instantly on my Kindle)? Borders doesn't offer enough additional value to make me feel bad about this. I'd have to be stupid to pay their premium.

Yet, when I buy fly fishing equipment, I almost always buy from a local store—and even the "big box" store, Orvis, offers a fantastic in-store customer experience. Why am I loyal? Because they don't try to sell me crap. They let me hang out and talk fishing. They help me find new spots and learn about new techniques. There's a huge value add, and I'm willing to pay a premium.

Big box stores put a lot of mom and pops out of business in the 90s and 2000s. Now they're getting killed by online retailers. I'm not sure who's going to take out Amazon, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some level of resurgence when it comes to local retailers who focus on service.
At first the demo didn't work at all for me. Nothing would happen at all. Then I tried to click on a few buttons, and text started dancing left and right, with no apparent reason.

Then I got better at it. It seemed to reverse the words and letters more or less fine.

Then I spent the $5 on the product for Spanish (could be handy). I'll happily spend another $5 on a French version.

And I know how to impress everyone tomorrow!

Yes cell phones are considered contraband, and yes they are available.
You'll get a better answer on stackoverflow.
This distinction doesn't exist under the actually existing version of §230.

I think it's shocking how Twitter has completely changed course from its "free speech wing of the free speech party" positioning, and I understand why people find it frustrating that you don't have to "choose between being a platform and a publisher". But you don't; that's not the law and it hasn't been the law for over a quarter-century. And that rule has mostly been a very good thing for online speech.

ObieCRE (YC S19) | Product Engineer | Chicago | Full-time | REMOTE currently, ideally ONSITE eventually

We're looking for engineer #4 to help build our product, our team, and our company. A small pivot has led to great product-market fit, and we now have acres of green field that need coding.

How we make money: If you own a building that leases to office or commercial tenants, you need insurance. This is true if the economy is growing or crumbling. And as a result of this mandatory nature, it has not evolved to use modern technology. Workflows are manual. Communication is messy and time-consuming. People often don’t know what they’re buying or why. Obie sells commercial real estate insurance in a new way, once which emphasizes transparency and human-centric automation.

Our stack is Typescript, Node, GraphQL, and React. You should have ample experience in at least one of these technologies. Several years in overall coding experience is preferred, although the quality of this experience will be valued more highly than its duration.

To apply, please email careers@obiecre.com. Additional details here: https://www.notion.so/Software-Engineer-Obie-1d2bd7290e694f6...
I like the cut of your jib! I recently inherited a project with nested components and inheritance and all these insane levels of abstraction and it's impossible know what's going on anywhere. The crazy part is that all this abstraction is hiding incredibly simple HTML underneath it all, and the components are rarely used in more than one place.

Anytime I need to do some real work on this project, it's easier to just replace the call site of the component with the final HTML output, and move any required logic to the top level.

Turns out that across the multiple call sites, the final HTML output isn't really the same and this forgoes all the messy conditional logic and awkward data massaging that the original developer included.

As far as buttons go, the easiest is to just use

<a href="#" class="button">Click Here</a>

and

<a href="#" class="button button-primary">Click Here</a>

everywhere. Look at that, turns out CSS is a component framework already ;)
I agree. But if not for privacy, why use crypto at all? Even bank accounts are reasonably private, if you are not doing anything considered suspicious by society.

Also, with mixers such as tornado_cash, laundering money is ,sadly, pretty trivial.
Why would a Russian national with so much BTC to launder, who hasn't touched it in 6 years suddenly perform the action from New York City of all places from within the USA.
It's one of my favorite things about black, and I've started to use that formatting of function calls with long arguments for other languages too.

But I also despise long lines with a passion, I hate having to go to the right, and would much much rather scroll up and down with a consistent width, so that I can put multiple views next to each other.
> the default width should be at least 120 characters, I mean we're in 2022 after all

Even in 2022, some people don't have wide external monitors, sometimes like to view two files (or a diff) side-by-side, or need to use GitHub/BitBucket/etc. code viewer pages. Also, it's still difficult for humans to read long lines.
After reading your explanation the headline seems a lot better, sorry for my ill informed remarks.
You need a great product and once you have this you build out a product page (preferably physical product) and finally you drive your organic targeted traffic to said product page and capitalize on the sales. Ultimately you build a company from this and keep making more products. Depends of course on many factors. Much simpler to do affiliate marketing but like others have said fast money, no sustainability. You want to build something long term, lucrative and grow your follower base(s) to millions. You have a following, direct this following to your product now. Email me I have some ideas for you. Email in profile.
Has Balsamiq released a new mockup designing app with even more wobbly lines? Seriously, I'll use this as a checklist the next I create a new frontpage for a product.
FYI, I've extended the initial analysis to look at the publicly inactive profiles based on "views" numbers on profiles.

https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/RhnKkfTN...

Upshot:

The average (mean) publicly active profile has 25 times the views of the mean publicly inactive profile.

34% of non-public profiles show no views at all.

The median views is 693 -- two views per day if the profile's been active for only a year, less if longer.

Follower counts are far lower for publicly non-active profiles. To the 35%ile they have one follower -- for publicly active, that's the 20%ile (overall it's interesting how small follower counts are per profile).

Mean followers for inactives is 6.4, for actives, ten times that -- 66.4.
Do you have a source for this, or is it just your assumption?

"Supported lifetime for the device" does not necessarily mean "supported lifetime for Windows 10." Although your interpretation may be correct, they have (intentionally or otherwise) used ambiguous wording in how they describe this.
Is it that you don't like zero-indexing, or that you don't like it together in the same function with one-indexing? b^)

Actually I think it's pretty terrible how few languages have literal expressions for dates. Once you have to type "new Date(", it's not much more annoying to have to remember that January is zero.
Two reasons: (1) we try to prune subthreads when they get too massive; and (2) this one was a step in a generic direction (i.e. police in general), away from the specifics of this story.

Steps toward the generic nearly always lower discussion quality [1], because the larger the topic becomes, the harder it is to say anything new about it. Therefore the conversations tend to repeat the same points over and over, same as the last N times the topic came up (and this has been one of the most-argued, if not most burnt-out, topics in the last year). They also to get nastier as they proceed. My semi-serious theory is that the mind resorts to indignation to amuse itself in the absence of new information [2].

The generic topics are like massive planets that exert a strong pull on passing discussions—there's always a strong tendency to hop to the nearest generic orbit, because that's what our pre-existing mental associations connect to [3]. The trouble with this is that points away from curiosity, which is interested in new and specific information more than in familiar and general arguments. Curiosity wants the diffs [4]. Generally we're not aware of these competing directions in ourselves, but the effects show up unmistakeably at scale.

It's not that you or the other commenters did anything wrong! it's perfectly natural for conversation to drift in this way, and a balance of familiarity and curiosity makes for good conversation. But from a moderation perspective, it's our job to look out for the site globally, and try to dampen the sequences where each step makes sense locally but the sequence still ends up in a much less curious place.

That's a longer explanation than you probably expected, but since it's not possible to explain every individual move (it would be too much work, and also too noisy), I try to make up for it by periodically giving longer ones.

"... At first, it seemed like a big adventure; a long train ride out of the city into the natural beauty of Slocan.

We've asked you so many times not to post ideological flamebait and name-calling to HN, and you've kept doing it, so I've banned your account.

All: Multiple views are welcome on HN, but comments need to become more civil and substantive, not less, as the topic grows more divisive. We all know what internet callout/shaming culture has become. The mandate of Hacker News requires that the community work together to avoid creating such a war zone here. Therefore, if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully, and otherwise please don't comment until you do.
Yea, but that doesn't mean you still don't get some additional speed out of hiring more developers, especially when correctly organized, with sane management policies, and good software development practices.

The point is that Microsoft has the money to hire 100x more developers than the other guys, they should at least be well organized enough to deploy a part of that man power effectively.

Lets put it this way, there are 7 companies out there (at least) maintaining various different distributions of UNIX that can patch quickly, why can't Microsoft patch their 7 operating systems as quickly? From my view what you are saying is that because Microsoft is a monolithic company with 7 code bases it is somehow harder than 7 companies with 1 code base each? How does that track? Especially when Microsoft has a 100x more money than each of those other companies.

I'm not saying there is such a thing as a man-month. I'm saying there are ways to organize production, teams, and software so that people can provide more work than in poorly managed environments.
Of course networks are always going to be orders of magnitude slower. That's because we're already at the very point where sheer distance becomes a limiting factor to performance.

Conceal is a very neat new feature. I posted a little thing showing how you might use this in Ruby as well.

http://ithaca.arpinum.org/2010/11/06/vim-conceal-for-ruby.ht...

At the bottom of the post, there are links to all the conceal write-ups I came across (this LaTeX one, plus one each for Python, Perl and Haskell).
