Saying that Holocaust never happened is only illegal in Germany, elsewhere it can be persecuted as hate speech, but that's not explicitly written into law. And if preaching against homosexuality was illegal in the EU, then 90% of Polish priests would be in prison :P

My point is - EU does not enforce this. Individual countries do, and they follow their own rules.

For someone to be so condescending and arrogant, how does a person convince others to work with them, invest with them, buy their online service and ultimately sell the company? The ^be nice to influence people filter^ is turned off for writing.

This means in writing pg says what he wants (a sign of original ideas and though) without the filters of what ^others^ think.

Not sure why you think it matters what's "against the law" - Tesla is suing him.

He signed a contract. If Tesla's lawyers are worth beans, that contract has a number of clauses which such behavior flagrantly violates.

I've tried to use AirBnB twice. Both times the host accepted the booking, then cancelled. The first after a day, the second the day before I was due to arrive.

Two experiences in a row like that were sufficient to make sure I never try again.
> I still support aggressive competition from the EU simply because the EU needs to stand on its own legs but don't pretend that it's for privacy of its citizens.

I was more thinking along the lines of immunity from National Security Letters[1], which could be marketed to companies or individuals who want an extra layer of privacy guarantee.

For example, here is a quote from Dropbox's 2016 Transparency report[2]:

"We believe that those who use online services have a right to know if the government requests their data, and that service providers have a right to notify them of these requests. Often, though, requests for user data are accompanied by court orders preventing Dropbox from providing notice."

An EU-based Dropbox clone could market this as a unique selling point, that the above doesn't apply. Swiss banking for your online storage, if you will.

If the username came from the database, it's going to be stored in memory before this function is called, and so concatenating must require building a new string.
Upvotes are probably not a good estimate of traffic from HN hitting a site for a multitude of reasons, for example:

- not everyone upvotes

- there's probably a substantial number of users who are content to read articles but have never had a login (I did for two years)

- social media amplification.
Hey Web Designers, WHY DO YOU HATE ME??
The first answer is correct. You have a vol surface, and adjacent contracts are similar, so you can take the information from other contracts to re-mark your book, giving you the prices of things that haven't traded.

If BMWs go up in price, Audis can go up in price as well, even though you've only observed people buying BMWs. Same goes with the general market, if people are buying Toyotas and Fords, you can guess the prices of Mercs are higher too, despite not having seen one.

One thing to note is there are sometimes shenanigans going on in the options markets. The settlement prices of options determine the margining and sometimes the end-of-month PnL reported by the administrator. If a trader has a large position in an option, he might be able to cause the guy at the exchange to move the marks a little in his favour. I've sat next to guys who've phoned the exchange and hounded them to move the mark a little. No brown envelopes and such, and the relationship is not like with a broker whom you've met.
It'll probably just be a cloud API "look, we can collect more data".

Hopefully it will be an efficient implementation of 1bit-weight NNs like XNOR.ai (which has been pushing on the research on 8bit & 3bit nets).

ARM SIMD (NEON) is not as great as x86's but this can turn out to work & be very cache-efficient!

Right but my point is that this can change very easily in the EU. The EU has even fewer problems with violating privacy than the US, that's what I was trying to say. They always talk big about democracy and freedom of speech but we all know that it isn't quite like that in practice. (see: hate speech)

> The guy was a highly paid executive. I don't understand how he could have been under duress. (Is Elon Musk really hiring desperate people who have no options?)

That in combination with the claim that he asked other employees to come with him while they were his subordinates at Tesla, is the strongest argument the company has in this case, and maybe that combination has some merit. I'm arguing against the general claim that an "agreement" in an employment contract that the employee had no meaningful choice about signing, is morally binding.

> What if the employer hired a person under duress, like they were in desperate need of some particular skill. Does that mean they can decide not pay the person?

There is a classical thought experiment in ethics, on that very topic. Suppose you're stuck on a high window ledge with no way down, likely to lose your footing and fall in the next few minutes, and you see a man passing with a ladder. He offers to get you down for a million dollars. How binding is your agreement? Me, I figure since it was made under duress, you're entitled to renegotiate a more reasonable figure once on the ground. Some thinkers have given much stronger answers than that! What's your answer?
Preaching against homosexuality is definitely not illegal across the EU. There's a group of people doing it on the streets at every damn Pride event in the UK - at quite some expense to the taxpayer too, since they wind up having a number of police officers stationed near them.

If you were to read, well, any source posted since then, you'd find that it was found that he was actually protected on appeal by the ECHR freedom of expression (aka freedom of speech) and freedom of religion.

This would be a waste of money, I know they're cheap but for a space that is working on GPU power anything CPU based isn't cost effective at all.
Could this be used in CPUs? And would the cost be affordable?

Enforcing is an administrative task committed by specific people in specific projects (there is a thing called 'best practice', but it never is a hard rule). Tools authors should not enforce anything, it's not their job, responsibility and competence, even if a particular project like Linux has the same Linus for both project management / rcs tool writing.

Erlang isn't purely functional... the time function is an example. To be pure, iirc, a function call have to return the same result everytime, there's a one to one mapping for each parameter there's a unique value. time() is an arity 0 (no parameters) and yet it return different value every time you call it depending on the time currently.

You can mutate by making a new copy, you modify the old one and save it to a new variable. The old variable is unchanged.

If you set x <- 1, you can't change x anymore but you can do y <- x + 1. Your modification is in a new variable. Elixir you can change x to a new value but that's just a new copy, unless you pin it..

You can also keep state by passing an accumulator via function parameter, it's also how you to tail call optimization. It's a weird pattern and I haven't use functional paradigm enough to give one on top of my head.
Usually I actually share your opinion. But last year I was in a situation where I spent a lot of my work time, spare time, and private ressources (e.g. invites to lunch or cinema, even letting a new coworker use my apartment for free while looking for an apartment of his own).

My goal was to build a real team out of the random bunch of coworks and actually succeeded. In the end we were a competitive, cooperating, efficient machine putting out about 10 mandays of customer value in 2-3 real time days if necessary.

In that example I really felt compelled to leave WITH the coworkers. True they were hired by my employee, but the team was built by my coworkers and me.

PS: So, considering examples like that, maybe next time you could try to formulate yours a little more open for alternatives. E.g. "Interesting point of view. Let me add another one: [...]" What do you think?

Eh.

Libor was "fixed" by design. Literally, the concept behind Libor was to ask some guys to make up a rate they thought they could borrow money at (note: Not the rate they WERE borrowing money at). Totally subjective. For the purposes it was originally intended for, that was fine. Later it began to be used for other purposes, but it seems like a lot of people forgot that it was, at base, asking some bankers to make up a number. Which...they did. And then people got upset, because they didn't want a made up number, they wanted some objective benchmark. Well, maybe you shouldn't have been using Libor?

Okay, sure, the number was being made up for selfish reasons and did not represent a good faith effort to try and make up a number that accurately reflected the rate that the people being asked believed they could borrow hypothetical money, if they tried. If you squint a bit, that's...I dunno, I guess it's bad? It wasn't obviously against the law, and I'm hard pressed to articulate a clear moral argument about how bankers should make up hypothetical numbers, but okay, let's just say it was bad and wrong.

But... At any given point some banks were trying to drive the numbers up; others down. Net movement was often nil but generally downwards. Since mortgages are often linked to Libor (in some countries) that means all this probably means a bunch of people saved a few pennies (literally) on their mortgage payments a few years back, mostly at the expense of large investors. Yeah, I know, that doesn't mean it's either moral or legal but...stealing an almost immeasurably small amount of money from a hedge fund and giving it to a home owner is not exactly "robbing widows and orphans" territory.

In short, I'm decidedly underwhelmed by the entire "scandal". And I think the sentence was wildly disproportionate; there's no way you can say the magnitude of the crime justified it, especially given the small scale and vague legal situation.

Tarantool is close to a data grid in its architecture and features from the database world do not apply 1:1.

We have been working on a general-purpose resharding for over 3 years, but have yet to release it to the open source community: it's very hard to do it well.

> What employer is willing to strike "Must perform assigned duties"?

Indeed, and many employees have found themselves assigned duties that were not at all what they expected, and damaging to their health or otherwise harmful, but hey, they "agreed" to perform assigned duties, right?

Looks like my position isn't a popular one here. So be it but, if you live in a developed country, have you ever wondered why, for the last few decades, almost everyone has been getting poorer and more miserable every time the GDP goes up? Sometimes, astonishingly enough, beliefs do actually have real-world consequences.
LinuxConf 2017: Integrating high speed fabrics into the Linux network stack
Another interesting point is that ease of opening the hatch was a tradeoff that was pushed back and forth by (near) accidents. Mercury had a pyrotechnic hatch release mechanism. That triggered accidentally on Mercury-Redstone 4, which caused the approach to be changed for Apollo. The hatch on Apollo 1 had mechanical latching mechanism and was moved manually. Apollo 1 accident caused the hatch on later Apollos to have still mechanical latches, but easier to operate, and pneumatic mechanism that lifted the hatch.

I think it's a fare comparison. Much more than Rust vs Go which we see all the time. Technically, Rust and Go are more similar to each other than Go and Elixir but Rust and Go are intended for different areas. Go and Elixir on the other hand will compete directly as both have been built to write exactly same kind of software.
Funny, had to learn all this stuff for my Master's thesis as it was a crucial part of my project to provide reliable shell command exchange via serial connection. It was really really hard to find anybody who knows anything about this lower network level and terminals.

What I can add for everybody who feels the same disappointment as ESR: It's very common for a growing community that three things happen.

A) The number of people with just a little knowledge over the holy grail of your community increases.

B) The popular communication is taken over by great communicators who care more about their publicity than your holy grail.

C) This gives the impression that the number of really cool people decreases. And that is depressing to old timers. But it's in fact often not true. Actually most often the number of cool people increases too! It's just that their voices are drowned in all the spam of what I like to call the "Party People" (see B).

So yes, you can actually cheer. It's harder to find the other dudes, but there are more of them! Trust me, I'm not the oldest guys here but I've seen some communities grow and die till now, and it's nearly always like that.

> Having strong privacy regulations in the EU could create a market for this kind of products.

In some ways, the EU does have stronger data protection for it's citizens than the US. See for example the case where the ECJ ruled that the 'Safe Harbour' agreement was invalid because an Austrian law student[1][2] filed multiple complaints against Facebook's Dublin-based branch, essentially alleging that Facebook is a backdoor for US dragnet collection of EU citizens' (and others') data, which ultimately rendered the Safe Harbour invalid according to the ECJ.

Perhaps, I wasn't clear enough with my point. You stated that Canonical sold data - "unity sells your searches". I was factually correcting you because it doesn't and didn't. Whereas you said in the previous comment - "search terms entered in Unity were send, by default, to third-party servers!", this is a true statement, though there's far more nuance behind it. The two things are not the same (Canonical didn't sell the searches), and in the context of the wider thread I felt it was confusing.

The rest of your points are personal opinions on users and data privacy, I shouldn't have commented on that area, I apologise. I see no value in getting drawn into discussing the strong emotions associated with this area as it never ends well :-)
Small-scale bribery is caused by poverty. Someone throws 10 euros at a traffic officer to avoid a speeding ticket which would cost 10 times as much and distort the monthly family budget. The officer is willing to accept the bribe because his daily pay is about the same as the bribe. At the end of the day, the offender has still paid for his offence and the officer brings in more money home, completely avoiding any interference with the corrupt government.

Large-scale corruption happens almost everywhere in the Western world behind closed doors of corporate meeting rooms. But when some of it goes public it is considered a "scandal", not "corruption".

I'm wondering, what is the performance of that? I tried to use the ReactNative main Navigator, some community modules, but all have a very poor performance, the best I found is building something very tight with the states so it will not drop perf as we add more components.
But it wouldn't help answering the question, because a supernova doesn't just eject the neutrinos, it's the intentionally "illogical" question for what-if that is answered there.

For the answer to the question "what it's like to live on earth during a (close) supernova" the starting point is here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-Earth_supernova

If it's
"roughly less than 10 to 300 parsecs (30 to 1000 light-years) away" it will "have noticeable effects on its biosphere."

"It is estimated that a Type II supernova closer than eight parsecs (26 light-years) would destroy more than half of the Earth's ozone layer."

"Type Ia supernovae are thought to be potentially the most dangerous if they occur close enough to the Earth. Because Type Ia supernovae arise from dim, common white dwarf stars, it is likely that a supernova that could affect the Earth will occur unpredictably and take place in a star system that is not well studied."
I think the issue was the collusion in making up this number, and not the fact that the number was made up.

You're right about every single thing you said. However, the conclusion is slightly off.

Think about prices at a gas station. Each gas station owner is free to price their gas at a price at which he thinks people will buy it from him. This is normal and most definitely legal.

What is not legal is if even two or more has station owners make a secret pact to keep prices the same. This is called price fixing. It does not matter if the price is a bit higher than normal (to maximize profits) or lower than normal (to keep a third gas station from opening up). What matters is that the prices are being fixed.

If you slice and dice price fixing, you can come up with the same conclusion as you have. And yet price fixing is considered illegal and bad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_fixing

In the case of LIBOR, it is a situation very similar to price fixing, but at an imaginably large scale. That is why it was a huge scandal and that is why people and institutions got punished for it.
If it's that simple, answer this: Jews -- religion or race?

Racist doctrines are about discrimination towards those deemed inherently "other" and therefore irredeemably unworthy of something (for example the consideration of entry into a country). It's not just about physical characteristics, even though 19th and 20th century racists did create a lot of pseudoscience around that to justify discrimination.

You would probably agree that Nazi Germany was a racist regime, right? If you look at the categories of Untermensch [1], they are a hodgepodge mix of ethnicity, religion and subjective personal defects.
