It seems like the best solution is to have monthly subscription model. That's what most companies are doing.

Personally, as a customer, I like the idea of paying for an update. Let's consider Adobe CC subscription. Currently it's standard monthly subscription, if you don't pay, you don't have access to it. I would prefer to pay only if I want new features and security updates. If I decide not to have them I could stay of the last version that I updated to. Of course to make sure that you earn enough you should have to have a limit of minimum 1 year subscription payed monthly, so nobody would scam you by buying one monthly subscription once a year.

This of course changes is cloud services are involved (storage, streaming, etc.). For those you need monthly subscription to be on)
This is a core point in the Three Body Problem series of books by Liu Cixin (plus a little hand waving sciency signal amplification). As mentioned below it turns out to be a generally bad idea
I really doubt that these companies would lose more than 4% revenue by complying. Worse ad-targeting in the EU is not worth that much.

I simply assume they are going to upload my contact data whenever they prompt me for the permission. Not sure how iOS does permissions these days - do they also have runtime permissions like Android? I know that a lot of companies here in India skip the runtime permissions system entirely and ask for them all at install time to handle fewer edge cases in the code, and make the user less likely to be suspicious.
I don't understand how this is a surprising feature. Shouldn't every decent system be able to delete all data of one user without affecting other data?

That companies haven't even thought of being able to delete user data makes the law even more important. It should be common business practice to delete data if a user asks, not something technically impossible.

Of course there would already be other regular shopping/shipping services. What I was suggesting was for Candy Japan to pick and curate the items themselves, without the subscribers knowing what they’ll get. So it would be extending the theme of receiving random surprises from Japan.
Also, it is worded to say that it's 4% of global revenue for your parent company.

So there is no setting up an offshored tiny company to wear the liability - your parent company is on the hook, wherever that money may reside.
I have a swissmicro HP16C equivalent. I also have two real ones! the swissmicro is a bit disappointing I have say -- I hoped to be able to replace my real ones to 'save' them on wear and tear, but I moved back to the good 'ol ones with a sight a relief.

Mostly the 'titanium' back is ever so slightly warped that it just nags at my OCD (enough that I CNC'ed myself a replacement back using plex [0]) and the membrane keyboard is rather poor.

They have come up with plenty more ways to talk to the kernel.

Just look at the absolute abortion that is "netlink". Very deeply nested structures with self-referencing pointers and sizeofs everywhere. You are looking at 300 LoC for the most trivial operations unless you want to use a shitty (like extfs tools shitty) library.

I actually prefer the ioctl, it keeps the insanity in check of these structure astronauts that gave us netlink.
I'm not a power user or anything, but the touch bar feels like a downgrade to me. The context-sensitive display has sat there unused for months, while important buttons I use multiple times daily, like those for brightness and volume adjustments, now require the use of two-step touch-and-slide actions instead of my preferred key-mashing. I guess it's a matter of personal preference, but given the cost of the product it'd be great to be able to opt out.

I was hired as a senior contractor. I work with JS for about 5 years, 3 years as primary language. All of it professionally.

I think it's totally feasible. I moved here when I was 19 with the salary between 30-40k. 3 years later, I am doing something I always wanted for a great amount of money. I think without these two rules I wouldn't make it:
- Invest in knowledge
- Don't put your age on CV

But London is all about trying imo.
Simple, someone else would take the market. In fact, I think it would benefit the EU over the long-term.
Your example with Point() is exactly what I said was a good use case, for apparently the same reasons why I said it was a good use case.

I said "'namedtuple' has one good use - migration from a tuple object to a real object while allowing backwards compatability to the tuple API. ... It's also fine if it will only be used by code where you have full control over its use and can either prevent inappropriate API use ... Otherwise, don't use it."

You replied "Only if one is misusing namedtuple".

I interpreted this as an objection to my use guidelines. From what I can tell, you are in complete agreement with me.
That is because you spend your whole day on HN instead of programming.

would a zoologist ever recommend baby mammals receive any food other than their mother's milk to facilitate optimal development?

Why, yes. I'm not a zoologist, but I know giving a replacement milk is the best solution when the mother either is absent for whatever reason, cannot produce milk, or cannot produce enough quality milk. This is why we have milk for infant cats and dogs, actually. Otherwise, the animal would die. There is a similar nutrition for birds (as they don't produce milk) and it is common for folks to buy pigmy goats as an infant and bottle feed them.

Why do humans think they're any different?

We don't. Replacement breast milk saved lives, and these sorts of issues were the original use of infant formula. When applied to current society, it still saves lives and helps to keep folks from financial ruin because some countries (like the US) don't really give mothers time off work to properly breast feed, and it is usually difficult to pump milk at work. At some point while pumping, people usually have to supplement formula as well. As a side note, I was one of the babies that would have died without a wet nurse, as my mother had gall bladder surgery before I was 6 weeks old (fairly major surgery in '78) and could not breast feed.

One of the ios App I built needed contacts permission, but it's only within the app and never sent to my server. When I submitted it for review to Apple, they didn't approve the app asking the reason why I was accessing the contacts and if sending them to the server. Only if they are happy with the answer they will approve your app.

So in a way, iOS apps are much secure than Android.

Paper Making Machine Forming Section
Of course people prefer plain, simple English.

But jargon isn't limited to academia. Cults have their own languages, so do cultural scenes, so do generations. (Ask a teenager for details.)

So do businesses, start-ups, VCs, and so on.

IMO the original article doesn't go far enough. These jargon systems are identity markers. They're primarily intended to manage status, identify insiders, and exclude outsiders.

Arguably most academic and technical systems are designed to do this - including software. There's an argument that sometimes systems are unconsciously designed to be obscure and hard to use (e.g. Unix) for tribal reasons, not because they're a good practical solution to a given problem.

That aside, you can excuse jargon in science because it's actually useful. E.g. You won't get far trying to explain cellular biology by pointing at things and saying "This bit here. No, not that bit. This bit."

It's less useful in the humanities, because the philosophical and academic content in the modern humanities is as much an identity marker as the jargon is.

It's not there to provide creative insight or to wield political power. (It doesn't score high on either count.) It's there to provide evidence of tribal membership.

Clearly, if academics then decide they want to talk to the public, they immediately have a problem, because you can't talk to the public using thought and language systems that are designed to exclude the public.

This is the first piece I've seen by an academic that understands this.

Likely experience. Most would write something so large in a language they are comfortable in.
It is. On the other hand, companies like Google/Facebook/MS/Apple have such huge profit margins that a conviction will be but a speed bump, and given that their business model is based on the data regulated by GDPR to such a great extent, one may expect them to challenge the new regulations as much as they can. They also (probably) have the most competent legal divisions, which will help them exploit any gray areas.

For companies with lower profit margins or companies that are hit by the lower limit of $20M euro, the threat is much greater. Small companies may go immediately bancrupt from a $20M euro fine, while companies with slimmer margins may be taken from black to red results by a 4% fine.

From my pesonal experience, many such companies do not fully grasp to what extent these regulations will affect their business models if actually enforced.

There's a difference between learning a topic yourself and learning it at a university: the university gives you a certificate at the end to say you did it, which other people recognise as having value.

There are also things that you gain by studying and working with others: discussion, exposure to different perspectives and points of view. Inspiration by experts in the field. These all have value. Whether they are worth the cost is a separate question.

Heavy drinking and radical indoctrination are optional; you can skip all that. Exam and other pressure from deadlines can be bad, but it can also be a powerful motivator to pull your finger out and get stuff done.

Go to any schoolyard and observe members of which ethnic groups use anti-semitic slurs. (I'm not talking about "more frequent", I'm talking about using them at all.)

I seriously implore you to think about what it would be like to be a Jewish pupil in certain districts of Köln or Berlin and implore you to say with a straight face that anti-semitism is caused by the (far-)right.
I'm pleased that the technique worked for you and don't want to denigrate your experience, but looking around it seems that there's very little evidence to support the Buteyko technique, and a fair few red flags:

> giving a replacement milk is the best solution

That's the reason maternity wards have fridges full of donated milk so that at least during the first days/weeks/months of life, especially for those born prematurely, the replacement milk is actual breast milk.

The point about maternity leave is a good one. Obviously countries should have a maternity leave that is longer than the breastfeeding period. That the US doesn't is pretty terrible imho. (This isn't an employer expense in all those countries that have it, it's usually a tax funded system)

I second the 'get to the observation point before sundown' advice. In some really dark places, there are so many stars that I even have a hard time picking out bright stars like Vega or easy constellations such as Cygnus, Orion, or the Big Dipper. Watching the stars come out makes this much easier, and as a bonus the planets really awe at dusk.
I would like to agree and second this.
This is how I see it as well. It would also likely get rid of comments / ratings like "I would give this 0 stars if I could". I think the numbering you mention is just as essential (especially 0).

The way I generally rate things falls in line with this idea:

5: Excellent

4: Pretty Good

3: Average; Unsurprising. Not Impressed, Not Disappointed

2: Kinda Sucks

1: Run Away

This definitely doesn't seem to be how everyone else is using the 5-star scale.

That's a really bad reason for something you'll be working on for a few years where a single bad bug could ruin it when it goes live. You'd think picking a language where buffer overflows and memory management bugs were impossible would be a minimum requirement. If you're good at C++ most other languages are a breeze in comparison as well.
I'll use that much energy by performing a google search for the answer, and then offset my carbon footprint by performing some extremely accurate mathematical calculations using ancient Babylonian clay tablets, instead of depending on gold:

https://www.google.nl/search?q=how+much+energy+is+used+by+go...

According to a 2009 post by Google: Together with other work performed before your search even starts (such as building the search index) this amounts to 0.0003 kWh of energy per search, or 1 kJ.

How much electricity does an American home use? In 2015, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,812 kilowatthours (kWh), an average of 901 kWh per month. Oct 18, 2016

How much electricity does an American home use? - FAQ - U.S. ... - EIA

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3

So if "Electricity consumed per [Bitcoin] transaction (KWh)" is 173.00 kwh, and one Google search consumes 0.0003 kwh, then you can perform 173.00 / 0.0003 = 576,666.67 google searches (over half a million) per Bitcoin transaction.

If a house used 10812 / 365 = 29.62 kwh per day, then you can perform 29.62 / 0.0003 = 98,733.33 Google searches with the energy it takes to power a house for a day, or power the house for (24 * 60 * 60) / ((10812.0 / 365) / 0.0003) = 0.875 seconds with one Google search, if these gold-free clay tablets are as accurate as news reports say they are.

I agree. The barrier to spending £3 in a business is rarely the £3. It's the "we'll have to talk to procurement, fill out a PO, get three quotes, etc." admin nonsense.
First time I looked at the framework, I expected to be able to read existing contacts, and create new contacts. I was a little surprised at editing existing contacts.

Nothing is really stopping an app with permission switching all of your contact numbers so they point to someone else, whether by accident, or on purpose. It seems like something waiting to go wrong...

It seems unlikely that anyone in good faith would get screwed by this.

Most small businesses don't have a lot of outside investment, if any. If you're running a bootstrapped business funded with your own savings, the last thing you need is to have to spend significant time and money figuring out where you stand on GDPR compliance and what you have to do with regards to any other organisations that your business in turn depends on. The theoretical fines aren't the most immediate problem for small businesses; the overheads are.

Species names are not systematic because species are not systematic. The most common definition is reproductive compatibility but that is so complex it's effectively random. Almost identical organisms could consistently fail to produce fully working offspring yet the hybrid of two completely different strains of terran life could theoretically luck into a reproducing cell pattern. For less esotheric examples for the limitations of the species concept look no further than "ring species". Species are not discrete points, they are a continuum that just happens to have a lot of gaps between many of the populated (surviving) areas. Species names are effectively GUIDs, that sometimes encode a bit of proximity assumptions (which may or may not be true). The traditional method of designating those GUIDs (some descriptive plays with a dead language, often namespaced to origin and/or the person who did the first description) surely isn't less mnemonic than other GUID patterns that could have been used instead.
"What's amazing is that people even feel the need to study whether breastmilk is superior to processed alternatives "

Well it would be great to know just if they're different at all. You seem to think it's 'obvious' that breastmilk is always better; I don't see a logical reason to think so, or at least not so strong that it shouldn't be studied.

Yes, the research does show that breastmilk is better. My wife nursed our children until they were 15 and 18 months old, respectively. I'm not some pro-formula-campaigner. But I don't see any reason for naturalistic fallacy-based reasoning, either.
That's fascinating, in a sense shares become closer to ICO tokens (no obligations, no control and no dividends).

I believe we can also blame regulators for that. Most banks have extremely low rates nowadays, which is (AFAIK) deliberate to incentivize investment in the stock market. So there is a power imbalance between investors (who have no other choices) and investees, which manifests as rules shifting in favor of investees.
Of course it can. We can apply selective pressure to a population and hypothesise the likely outcome. You can do this on a small scale in a Petri dish by selecting for antibiotic resistance, for example. And then you can validate the hypothesis by sequencing to determine the exact genetic change which led to the outcome.

If you wanted to predict the future evolution of a more complex species, that would be harder. Because we don't yet know what the selective pressures in the future will be, and the timescales involved are much longer. But if you define a set of selection criteria you can absolutely test a hypothesis by applying them today.
