Making trade deals not between individual countries but as a bloc is common and not an EU invention. The EU is hardly alone in thinking this is a good thing. Additionally due to the single market, trade with one EU member, is effectively trading with every EU member anyway. So it makes sense to make trade deals with other countries and trading blocs on an EU level as well. This further reduces bureaucracy overall because not every country has to maintain the expertise and people for that.

Normalization and standardization is also relevant to the single market as it reduces the barriers for trade between EU members. Legislation on classification on produce for example, makes it easier for consumers to buy large amount of produce from anywhere in the EU.

Requiring a qualified majority is ridiculous. There is no parliament anywhere in the world that works this way unless it's making constitutional changes.

There are courts on a EU level and they can strike down laws. This has happened with data retention, safe harbor and there is a possibility of it happening again with privacy shield. Automatic judicial review is also rather pointless when it comes to the majority of laws, expensive and would add to the bureaucracy you argue against generally.

That you think EU-wide parental leave policies are pointless to decide on an EU-level, doesn't necessarily make them illegal. So I doubt that the courts would help you there. They also aren't pointless because they obviously make it easier for employees to move between countries, this reduces barriers and improves free trade on the labour market, it also ensures that the freedom to work everywhere in the EU is actually meaningful. I'm sure there are more reasons for that legislation, beyond these obvious ones, if you look at the details.

The farm subsidies are a grotesque and massive fuck up and they need to be removed. I completely agree with you on that one. Though I'm afraid dismantling this is like dismantling a bomb and might very well produce quite a mess in the short term, if done wrong. It nevertheless should be done though.

I agree that this moving around should stop. It's a waste of money and maybe even more importantly a waste of time.
> In many cases - on both sides of the conflict - the "enemy" were slaves as well. Many of those who were free were conscripts.

Are you seriously equating conscription with chattel slavery? A chattel slave is the property of his master, his children are automatically his master's property at birth, like livestock. How many newly-born were conscripted, on either side? How many women were conscripted? Were entire families conscripted on the basis of the father's conscription?
Google just deleted my personal account out of the blue
Recently Dennis Cooper had his blog and associated account deleted by Google without much recourse or reason provided:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12099757

Coincidently, I just received two emails from Google telling me my entire account is suspended and about to be deleted as well. I can appeal but without knowing the reason, it's pretty hard to argue anything except, I didn't do anything wrong!

I've uploaded a picture album of the suspension/appeal emails here:

http://imgur.com/a/ARrLP

I wonder if other HNers are also getting suspension/deletion out of the blue, if so definitely let us know. I use my account mainly for email, I have absolutely no porn in my email, and pretty much just email family and get tech related subscriptions, social related notifications. It's all super tame, so I'm at a loss. I really hate to say it, but Dennis Cooper might have been right, I feel like the rug has been pulled from under me. "Only when they come for you, do you realize haste was a virtue."

Is Google on a (possibly automated) account deletion spree?

You're in violent agreement that the easy answer to question 1 doesn't solve question 2, and the easy answer to question 2 doesn't solve question 1. Why not moot some other answers to those questions, instead of sitting on your high respective horses?

> I think that it is not me (as a manager) who should approach a design from a designer point of view

> Because it is my job to measure and report for everyone to take actions (can be suggested by me, but that's all).

Before you measure you first have to know what to measure, and if you really believe that engaging with your subordinates will not help you with deciding that, I hope to goodness that I will never work under someone like you. Because if you think you can determine that all on your own, that means you still are the one bossing over your subordinates. It implies tunnel-vision you have and systematic top-down tyranny (even if unintentional).

Given that you're using someone else's work, it doesn't matter what's "ok in your book", it matters what's ok in the developer's book.

I just switched to iOS and the part I like the least has to be iMessage... it sucks. It will always try to send a message over HTTP even when you're in the subway instead of sending over SMS and not realize that it's an issue and just getting stuck halfway through sending.
Personally, I find the Dutch diet to be pretty unadventurous and poor. Sandwiches predominate, with not a lot of variety in cooking. This may well be irrelevant to the OP; nothing but cheese sandwiches and sour buttermilk may well be the perfect diet for growing tall.

As for the Rotterdam argument, I suspect fresh food would have to be flown in rather than shipped, which takes weeks.
My understanding is that the "grain" is not necessarily caused by your eyes detecting isolated photons, but rather by the electrons in the light-absorbing molecules of your rods & cones becoming spontaneously excited by ambient heat energy rather than absorption of a photon. Either way, it shows that we can indeed consciously perceive single-molecule excitation events, whatever the cause.
The problem with cross-compiling is that one always requires the complete set of libraries to target, which in the end at least for desktop and server systems is much more convenient to have a VM instance for it than a cross-compiler.
> And if his views were genuine, would you then be rude? I find this implication troubling and corrosive to open discussion.

No, I would have been more extensive and detailed in my answer. Instead I went for a few short points in rhetorical language.

The other reply to your comment has addressed the other points.
I don't get your point.

Agreed. Probably a large fraction of 'profitable independent day traders' mention by parent depend on luck. It's one thing to post a profitable month/year, whole different thing is a profitable decade.

It's relatively easy to have a profitable period on a strongly bull market. But it's irrelevant if any 'unexpected' (people call such events unexpected despite the fact that they tend to happen regularly over time) event such as 2008 crisis will completely wipe you out.

Why would that be a sane system? IMO a sane system is one where the paid cost scales with the real costs of the health care, no?

Ones health care costs arent going to be cut in half if hours are cut in half. Still need just as many annual checkups, may still have the same diabetes etc.
Some excellent points, and I'm happy to be challenged on my behaviour.

I didn't mean I was holding back from something sinister, but from making detailed and thorough arguments. Because I was only highlighting some issues with the Devil's advocate position, I used short points with rhetorical flourishes.

I agree none of this was conducive to a well-reasoned and objective debate. Often I don't consider I'm writing for an audience that comes here to learn - perhaps in future I should.
> The richest in history took extraordinary risks to get there

First of all, in real terms, no they didn't. In monetary terms maybe, but poor people take bigger risks all the time.

It is true, though, that the richest of the rich take bigger risks than their peers, and bigger risks than are arguably sensible. This is the difference between the "nouveau riche" and old money.

In terms of securing the level of consumption they're used to, and usually in terms of happiness, rich people are better off playing it safe, and most do. But some rich people may just have borderline pathological need to prove themselves, and buy metaphorical "lottery tickets". It makes sense that the richest individuals of the rich come from the group of those who take "dumb" risks that happen to pay off (I'm thinking Steve Jobs, Elon Musk etc.)
In a sane system healthcare is provided to everyone free and has nothing to do with employment status ;)
My point is someone should have written a TOTP client for your particular platform. Also different services use different TOTP systems. I am not well-versed in the matter. For example Steam uses its own app, many apps use google authenticator, microsoft uses its own, others still use authy. AFAIK they aren't interchangeable. I can't be bothered installing all these apps, each of them has their own nefarious agenda to hoover data off my phone.

SMS just works. (except when it doesn't)
In the bay area one can easily live on $100k a year. So long as they're willing to have a housemate (share a 2 bd room with someone else). Clearly not possible on a single income family, but either 1) Single person sharing a 2bd room place with someone els or 2) a dual income home renting a 2bd room place for their approximate 1 child.

I see too many bay area people thinking that ubers and expensive meals out are the "bare minimum".

It would be cool if you could share how you went about learning and what resources you used; thanks!
How does that mitigate against the one machine being stolen?

The convention is that the chances of two devices getting stolen together are smaller. That's why offsite backups are a thing.
Yep, therein lies the classic problem: if you want something of value, you can either spend your time or spend your money.

Why do you think that there is a solution? IMHO it's a mistake to think that there are solutions to everything. Sometimes, not doing anything is the best we can do.

I know it sounds cliché to say that, but I'd rather see my gvt taking actions on things that could easily be improved. For instance, many teenagers smoke in front of every high school in my country. I see that as a much bigger threat than terrorism, and one that is much easier to address.
Someone should do the math, perhaps in the right country

Negative productivity for 3 months seems like a very conservative estimation. Most places I know have people commit to the code base pretty early. Quite often the onboarding process already has them commit small stuff. You might say...well they are only doing small things like fixing minor bugs but that's a minor bug a more experienced developer doesn't have to fix.

If you also assume that people strengthen their own understanding of a topic if they teach it new engineers don't drain resources if they ask other developers questions. They might make your other workers more productive in the long run.
At the very least I'd argue that the time other devs spend on onboarding isn't wasted 100%.

I suppose the dynamics change if you hire fairly bad people who make things worse with their early commits but that mostly means your hiring process (and most likely your code review or whatever measure you set up to prevent bad code) is broken.
It isn't even completely new. Its hard to Google how that this paper is new, but the claim has been made decaden ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold#Vision:

"1972 Sakitt conducted an experiment that combined elements of signal detection and threshold theory. Two key elements of the study were a high tolerance for false positives and a multiple-choice option on deciding whether or not a light was seen. In the classic studies described above, the tolerance for false positives was so low that threshold was biased upward. Based on statistical analysis of a large number of trials, 6 photons each absorbed by one rod near-simultaneously looked "very bright," 5 photons looked "bright," 4 photons "a moderate light," 3 photons "a dim light." Two observers were able to see 2 photons as "slightly doubtful if a light was seen." One observer saw a single photon as "very doubtful if a light was seen." Zero photons were seen as "did not see anything."

One thing to note is that these experiments are hard to do. Dark adaptation (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)#Dark_adapta...) takes a long time; some researchers claim it continues for up to 24 hours (sorry, can't find a reference)

That means sitting in the absolute dark for hours (you will not want to do a few short experiments, as that means dark adapting more times). It's not like you can easily repeat this with Rens of people.
That's the point of "short-term" - that's weeks at the very most. Of course, a PHB will take this to mean "until the next release, half a year away, that's not too long, no?"
Regardless of the physical medium (SSD vs spinning disk) data is read in pages, in much the same way data from main memory is read to the CPU caches in chunks (called cache lines). Reading from either source byte by byte is extremely slow. Intuitively then, reading adjacent bytes on a disk will be faster. No matter how fast reading the page is, reading one page is always going to be faster than reading two. SSDs make random access faster than compared to a spinning disk (lower latency/seek time) but it can't break the laws of physics and make two seeks the same cost as one.
De facto the entry is allowed, and even assisted.

A simple way to change this would be to discourage the pattern where people smugglers send a rubber boat to the Mediterranean and instruct the people in it to puncture it on sight of an EU rescue vessel because then they have to be transported to Europe. Change this so that the people are rescued and returned to the port of departure. You don't have to kill anyone, or hurt anyone, just disincentivize the people smugglers who are currently making a lot of money (and likely are contributors to political decision-makers who's come up with the current rules of engagement).
I'm only saying that a need creates a motive. When I was eighteen and addicted to cigarettes, I scrounged every inch of my apartment for coins to buy a pack. I imagine an addiction to harder drugs would create a greater need. I only pontificated on what I thought the parent might mean. I didn't state a fact.

I always find it funny that being tall is seen as positive. There is actually a lot to say for being short. Cars and houses could be smaller, we'd need less food. Is there really anything a 4 foot person can't do as opposed to a 6 foot person? We just need a frame to carry our brains around. Of course there is some tail-end of the distribution stuff like professional basketball and sumo wrestling. And there is the fact that we didn't optimize the world for small people. But I think there is good case for smaller people.

Out of the Tarpit [pdf]
I'm living your dream. I'm on 70% part-time, originally because of the CS degree that I'm working on in parallel (I originally majored in physics bevore pivoting to IT), but I plan to continue on part-time (maybe 80% instead of 70 then) after I have my degree.

When I originally reduced from 100 to 80%, during my next annual review, my boss was surprised that it didn't impact my apparent productivity in the slightest, which supports your theory: More hours have diminishing returns, but cost the same from the employer's POV, so it would be better to spread it out to multiple people.

Indeed, the part-time model has been gaining traction within my circle of colleagues (in Germany). Many of them are taking a day per week off to work on their private projects, or cutting away some hours to spend more time with their children.

We are not really helping refugees with the current rules of engagement. Only a minuscule percentage of actual refugees ever make to Europe, but our capability and will to help the actual refugees is severely undermined by the great migration.

At the moment, we are creating incentives for more migrants to travel, and more of the source countries and communities to send their most active members to get a foothold in the perceived lands of opportunity - when in reality, there are no jobs for them here. We are not helping refugees, we are making a great disservice to the communities where the migrants come from.

One example of bare metal JavaScript.

The biggest problem with such systems are more political than technical.

We have tons of CPU cycles to spare compared with what Burroughs, Xerox PARC, ETHZ and many other similar systems required.

Quoting TMMM as a justification for product death march? Wow.

A programmer who works 55 hours a week will produce twice as much code - but for how long? Once fatigue settles in (a few weeks in), you're back at the 40-hour productivity levels, just paying it at 55-hour rates (and organizational overhead for overtime, oooh boy!), plus burning out the developers (and organizational overhead for employee churn).

Your assumption is that 55 hour weeks are sustainable: just change this number in the spreadsheet from 40 to 55, and voila! And while we're at it, why not 80? Why not 200? Very PHB-ish, in my unhumble opinion.

I never used SMS 2fa because I don't want my phone number out there.
> but rather by the electrons in the light-absorbing molecules of your rods & cones becoming spontaneously excited by ambient heat energy rather than absorption of a photon

Agree, it's not a digital system so there is always some noise, just like you can never get perfect silence in terms of sensory perception. Your brain has also a way to project some kind of images in your mind even when you don't see anything in complete darkness, so it's far from just being the detection of photons.

It's still better than no 2FA, which I imagine is the alternative for the vast majority of people.
It's a pipe dream. The "saved" money is eaten by fixing the crappy code written at 4 AM, three months into crunch mode. Only works if you can bully the developers into unpaid overtime.
A practical attack against users is malware on the machine, which would allow screen viewing and key logging

An attacker can then compromise both factors at the same time.

To me, this weakens the point of 2FA a lot.
It can, eg. if the seed is encrypted, but that's not what you're warding against. If the machine is stolen, one might install a custom CA or even custom web browser to MITM any https connection and just steal all your credentials, sessions and what not.

When Battle.net authenticators were introduced, the primary threat was keyloggers and leaked passwords (from reuse). Both of those threats are eliminated by TOTP, wherever it is.
Sure, but at the loss of the ubiquity of people capable of receiving SMS - Googling suggests ~4.5billion mobile devices worldwide, but only ~1billion Whatsapp users (a number high enough to surprise me, but still under 20% of the total potential market for SMS 2FA...)

It also introduces yet another 3rd party reliance and avenue for attack - Brazil and Turkey have blocked Whatsapp recently, and India and the UK have discussed it as well. I doubt Id want to rely on my Whatsapp 2FA tokens arriving in China either...
