It's not about the money, it's about going on public record (and also about nailing down the odds you are willing to give).

Interesting perspective you have. May I ask what makes you think so? Any current indications? What could go otherwise, and why? Do you see the beginning of these trends already?

I would be very surprised if any of the big American big tech companies (say, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon or any other company that rises to similar status in the next five years) will get unionised like you say.

There are already certificates available for employers to judge: be that university issued degrees or industry certificates like from Cisco or Microsoft. From all I can tell, the top employers don't care about them (and if anything, I have seen people scanning resumes react negatively to CVs claiming industry certifications). So current trends don't seem to point in your direction---as far as I can tell.
Yes, I wrote Space Invaders like game in Free Pascal using Lazarus. This was my first larger project, so I hadn't much experience before. Lazaurs wasn't bad, but it wasn't something you would like to use nowadays. Developing high-end IDE for pascal is futile now I think.

That's exactly how it is. Unfortunately the negative externality of pollution means there is an inefficiency. One way to fix this by applying a tax, or minimum environmental standards, but on an international scale it's not so simple.
It is more than jusy cost. Many decisions seem like customer service but in fact are legal matters. Releasing funds isnt like reseting a password or reconnecting a telephone service. For those decisions that legally bind a company or that may violate various regs one often has to get management approval. Something as small as releasing a few hundred dollars, if that money is held due to a red flag, might even require board approval or at least be reportable to shareholders. It is silly that our laws dont have perspective, that a 100$ prize to the author of a story about syria is subject to the same rules as a 400k payment to a shadowy syrian bank operating out of a russian flat, but blame the people writing the laws.

Or, dont treat or trust paypal like they were a bank. The OP seems to be canadian. Canadian banks have a stellar rep. Trust them, not some US money-moving website.

Fines are only one pillar of the strategy, as the new regulation also makes it significantly easier for individuals to sue companies due to data misuse and loss in a civil court.

But you're right, in the end it will depend on how severely the individual EU countries as well as the commission persecute companies that don't obey the standards. And like in other areas there will be fraud and companies trying to circumvent the regulation. All in all I think the standard for data protection will increase significantly.
This is a bit different but in PyCharm you can set a breakpoint and then in the debugger open up a window where you can evaluate arbitrary expressions with that context before continuing.

Agreed! I started learning Clojure about 2 years ago, and it has become my favorite language!

Yeah, something like being able to know when over the course of the summer, say perhaps 3 months, temperatures in Miami are warm but not excessively hot. I really like to travel at the tails of top season for this reason, but that's really just a proxy in place of knowing the above.

Lonely Planet offers something like this [1], but it would be nice if the data were more granular than one high/low for each month and data sources were more transparent.

Microsoft ended support for IE8 early 2016. Until then most open-source libraries supported it. I wrote an IE8-compatible application this year and only had to downgrade a few random libraries.

There's something of a Gresham's Law of ships registries, whereby ship's owners seek the least-regulated possibly registry, known as flags of convenience:

As of 2009, more than half of the world’s merchant ships were registered with open registries, and the Panama, Liberia, and Marshall Islands flags accounted for almost 40% of the entire world fleet, in terms of deadweight tonnage.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_convenience

And yes, though I'd only just thought of the concept, there's literature on it, e.g.,

Exactly what you say.

Pollution tax on international scale isn't too hard: countries can just impose the tax on any ships that dock at their harbours, and can negotiate double taxation treaties with cooperating governments.

Making data on individual drives is probably not a long term goal for integrity. It is more likely that multi homing data in geographically disjoint locations with some sort of syncing is a better long term goal. Fixing silent data corruption on a single drive doesn't solve any of the much more likely disasters, like fire, flooding, weather, etc. Not even datacenters can withstand lightning.
I like to introduce debuggers/breakpoints after teaching functions and classes. That way I can explain the purpose of a debugger as bringing back the interactivity of the REPL despite hiding variables in local scopes.

> a critique of the form of art preceding it.

That's a very generous definition of "critique". I hung a little bit of cloth from Guatemala on my wall. Is that a critique of centuries of textiles?

I suppose we can make a distinction between fine arts and decorative arts. I find that boundary line very difficult to draw.
Not sure the causes of the foot pain, but if you haven't use many NSAIDs before, check out ibuprofen. It's safer than the other drugs in its class and performs better at most functions including inflammation. The major benefit of acetaminophen over ibuprofen is that ibuprofen can cause upset stomachs more easily whereas acetaminophen is less likely to do so.

I'd be careful and consult your doctor about the pain though, since any NSAID can cause complications for your body if you have specific issues if the NSAID is used over a long period of time.

Here's one article about NSAID use and one article about the FDA warning about long term usage of NSAID:

Sure it does. Adding 1000ppm CO2 to Earth's atmosphere would be catastrophic, while doing the same to Venus would be irrelevant, for example.

It's kind the way that credit card companies don't allow you to charge a higher price for credit purchases but do allow businesses to offer a cash discount. So businesses raise their prices and offer that cash discount, effectively charging a higher price to people using credit.

This is the same thing. They can't penalize people for not participating in the Wellness Program. So they increase the employee contribution for everyone and then offer discounts for people who participate. The net effect is to penalize the people that don't participate.
No, it is not so simple but then we are not a small insignificant country. We already have the Jones Act which mandates American built+crewed+owned+flagged vessels for port to port cargo (cabotage) amongst things. So these sort of regulations are not without their precedent.
We're pretty much in the same boat, except we picked Stripe anyway. We're eating the conversion fees, can't wait for when they can start paying out in different currencies, but at least we're not getting into any more PayPal horror stories. :-)

Well duh, because it explains how the definition of deportation has changed to include catch and release, which wasn't the case beforehand. This is literally an article reassuring Democrats that Obama's deportation numbers are higher but don't fret about it, because it's not really the case.

Lovecraft's racism was significantly more extreme than for his time. He constantly called New York "Jew York", even while married to a Jew. He was a complicated fellow, but explicitly wished not to be a product of his time, but an imagined better era (Specifically he calls out the time of Queen Anne in one of his letters0.

Published in 1989, near the height of America's anti-drug fervor. The article also undermines itself by acknowledging organized crime became "more visible and lurid during Prohibition," and then hand-waving past it with the bland truism that "it existed before and after". Well of course it did. While I agree history lessons are often applied overly-simplistically, I'm inclined to disregard as extremely biased the intended conclusion of the article, which is that we should double down on drug enforcement.

I call myself an "engineer" in situations where there's really no better fit. Neither "programmer" nor "sysadmin" fully capture the scope of my typical roles, and I do tend to take an engineer-like mindset when building things (shooting for "move slow and prevent breakage" over "move fast and break things").
yep. Thing is that this is likely to break existing formulas etc at the best of times.

Its funny how it seems only Apple has a spreadsheet the offers free floating "sheets", but there it seems to be treated more like a presentation/layout refinement (meaning that even the "humble" spreadsheet is basically a tool for desktop publishing).

I do believe Excel and others have the ability to reference cells from other sheets, but that still means having to flip between them to keep things in sync.
Excellent question! Article 17 of the regulation (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:320...) lists some exceptions when the processor (the entity holding your data, e.g. Facebook) is allowed to keep some of your personal data. Most notably, sentence 3b states that data might be kept "for compliance with a legal obligation...", which includes keeping of tax records. Also, as the other poster already said the regulation does not apply in the same way to public institutions like the tax office.

However, the processor would not be able to keep any data beyond what is needed for the purpose for which the exception holds, and the data cannot be used for anything else.
I started off a recent project in Java (heavy use of RxJava). Over time it migrated to a largely Kotlin codebase, which lends itself well to either OOP or functional.

I realized, so many of my method calls on my objects were only ever used once. Sometimes I'd create a class which just had one method. I had to assign a good name to this class, and it's method. I've since switched to heavy use of extension methods in Kotlin, and found I was mocking less for many tests, and writing less code that accomplished more. And variable naming was simpler.

At the end of the day, a good blend of OOP and functional programming are where it's at

It would be interesting to see where in the world PayPal is big. In most parts of Europe, PayPal is pretty much unheard of, because our banks don't suck, so PayPal never offered any improvements over just regular bank transfers.
All of jetbrains products are awesome. Everyone I convinced about this thanked me afterwards.
One of the most valuable lessons I've learned from HN was to autosweep my PayPal account. I am thankful that I was fortunate enough to learn this lesson before starting my company and running tens of millions through PayPal. I can't say for sure that I would still be in business if I hadn't.
The last time I was using btrfs was around 2014, and I was wondering why my hard drive was always showing 100% utilization even after I moved/deleted a ton-o-stuff.

> It's strange to see everyone hold up this movie as an argument against this sort of testing.

I read the movie as a criticism towards a society that grew accustomed to certainty, to a very narrow notion of physical perfection and the removal of all risk in favor of that. In that sense, the testing depicted in the movie induces society to an error, optimizing for a narrow set of traits, the expectation of fashionable accomplishments, where the explorers are not those who yearn to explore, but those whose genetic makeup makes them best suitable.

Dear god FINALLY. This has annoyed me constantly about spideroak.
Kurt Gödel had something to say about this. He proved that no formal system that is consistent is capable of proving (i.e., providing a sufficient reason for) all statements made within the system, including whether the formal system is consistent:

No matter how we choose to model the world, there will always be statements in our models for which we won't be able to find or discover a sufficient reason.

Oakland should just sell them both to condo developers. They could probably get a few billion dollars for the nice waterfront property.
The risk to the rest of the crew is never discussed, and is implied to lightly that most people don't even notice it. (For examples, see the other replies I'm getting.)

The tradeoffs are never discussed, and the protagonist never so much as acknowledges that his pursuit of his dreams might cause harm to others.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and this pudding isn't eaten until Vincent's mission returns safely. When the movie ends, he has not come close to proving his performance for that.
The Marshmallow Myth
The company has been successfully sued over "improper account holds" (See Zepeda v. PayPal) and the internet is utterly jam packed full of stories like yours. I don't see why people find it surprising at this point.
Android only, or have I missed some news? Really wish iOS would support this already. HTML5 offline does similar, but cache/update scenarios can be tricky.
ZIP/PDF would not qualify as an exchange format, as the directive clearly states the data must be "in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format". XML would do, but a PDF definitely not as it's not machine-readable (in the sense that you can easily extract the structure of the raw data from the file).
I'm not sure we should be celebrating what's basically an intimidation campaign to shutdown free speech. What they did was trespassing and theft in the service of shutting down political speech they disagreed with. It's pretty disgusting.

One thing that helped me (though I'm not yet finished recovering from a period of high stress) was to do the things that strengthen the gut barrier. As long as the barrier is permeable for large particles, you will have foreign objects floating around and your immune system attacking them. Here is a very long article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604320/#!po=2....

Specifically, strains like Bifidus Longum are beneficial, and of course reducing stress (negative outlook etc) is. The article particularly stresses efficacy of 5-HTP, but I've not tried that yet. IMO very overlooked one: weak stomach acid. My symptoms get WAY better if I consistently use vinegar and supplement zinc.

I think you missed that the parent meant that libraries are compiled _before_ publishing. So even if the library is written with ES6 you can simply require it with no build setup.
It's refreshing to read Berners-Lee's proposed solutions as they point toward more technical and market-based approaches rather than the typical "we need more legislation to fix these issues" incantation.

I often hear many of the same people fighting "against government overreach in surveillance laws" (as Berners-Lee mentions) while at the same time advocating more legislation to govern information use/misuse on the web. I don't think it's realistic to expect government overreach to magically work where we want it and stop right where we don't.

Many of these problems aren't on the forefront of most people's minds (yet), but as the issues become more publicized and people begin to understand their importance, then we (as in "the people", not the government) will have a greater voice - and more importantly, power through informed choices - to make a difference.
Yes it surely creates some work for companies, but on the other hand what good would it be if you could just keep personal data around just because it happens to be on a backup tape? Companies simply have to implement suitable backup schedules, which will ensure that the data gets deleted within an acceptable time period (e.g. two weeks), which is doable without actively erasing any specific data (instead of simply erasing a whole backup version).
Fair point. Most of my experience goes back to the "pre-macbook" stage of my life where I was running windows 7 on whatever hunk-of-junk laptop I could afford in college.

I have a lot of respect for the iterative improvements they make on all their products (I've use nearly all of them).

> I recall a time when Mozilla was shipping Python until HTML5 kill it. HTML5 gave features front-end developers desperately needed whereas Python honestly did not.

Mozilla never shipped python in its browser. There was an extension called PyXPCOM that allowed python access to XPCOM, which also had an associated variant of PyDOM. PyDOM was apparently never allowed for content (I'm going by https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/PyDOM), only for chrome. In any case, PyXPCOM was mostly used only by the Komodo IDE.
