Perhaps Mr. Bonilla has extra expenses due to his grandchildren. Which he might not have directly chosen to have, but has to raise because they are family. And maybe he is unable to work 90 hour weeks. Sometimes bad things happen to people outside of their control. To me it seems very sad that the massive wealth of silicon valley has not translated to good fortune and happiness for more people in the region.
Also Pina by Wim Wenders. Yes, it's about a strange form of ballet (Tanztheater).

In the director's commentary – which you should really watch, if only to understand what's going on – Wim Wenders tells a bit about 3D cameras, their challenges and opportunities and how much they improved so that he felt comfortable using them "for real" for the first time.
>Some of the things you do on Facebook aren’t stored in your account. For example, a friend may still have messages from you even after you delete your account. That information remains after you delete your account.

Why? What possible purpose does this serve?
Yep. I just replied at some length in a peer comment. As an entrepreneur, consultant, father and musician I have an extraordinarily busy life and multifaceted set of active priorities, and bulletjournal was a revelation for me. I do a new quad-ruled journal for each month, w/ simple structure: index, future log, month page (w/ a row for ea day, and columns for tracking key items: sleep, run, zen, code, music). I use a nice fine-tipped felt pen to number the odd pages. Then use about a page or maybe a full spread per day, w/ sliceplanner-style 12h clockface in pen (drawn w/ a template I keep in the journal’s back flap). Moleskine Cahir 5x8 quad-ruled (80 pgs) and a GraphGear 1000 0.5mm pencil are both indispensable to me. Having some empty pages at the end of a month means not stressing about writing too much. I can always reference things across journals (eg “bj8p37” or by date). Truly important stuff I retype in markdown docs organized by week. Sometimes I’ll reference docs from journal entries (“cf ~/docs/we171125.md”). It’s not a perfect system but it keeps evolving and so far it’s been instrumental in helping me achieve things in mylife that matter to me — including self-care (sleep 7h, run 1-2mi, meditate 10min) etc.

GDPR penalties are severe (% of total revenue) and the EU regulators would love to make an example of Facebook for non-compliance.
Unrelated: the article kept sending blurry low-res images and downloading the full version as I scrolled past them. I found this very annoying since I have a poor internet connection and had to wait for each image to load. I’d much rather prefer a slightly longer initial page load than waiting for each image.
Go back in time and stop yourself from ever creating it.
It's pretty obvious: A message between two people exists as two separate units in two separate locations. Deleting the account deletes only one copy, namely the copy that exists on your end. The digital analogue is a text message -- deleting the text message locally, say by physically destroying your phone, doesn't actually erase the message on the other side.
I assume that companies can deny services that cost them money if you don’t consent to services that create revenue. Is this true?

No, a rhetorical trick is what you are doing by using words like "poverty" without defining what they mean.

Do you have any evidence that Haiti, Bangladesh, or North Korea-level poverty (i.e., what most people think of when they see the word "poverty") exists on any meaningful scale in New Zealand?

Hint: no, you don't. Because it doesn't.

Are you deliberately using the word "poverty" to mislead people?

Hint: yes, you are.

Of course, it's sad -- mostly for the people who work so hard and have to deal with such adversities.

Living in an RV park with waste water issues isn't the solution though. I feel sorry for every human suffering, including the 25,000 children under 5 that will die today unnecessarily.

Life is brutal and I blame the big tech companies, billionaires and those creating the systems for failing to build a better world. But Mr. Bonilla's mistakes in his life are his own and only him and his wife can solve their problems. Engendering victim mentalities isn't going to change anything.

I’m all for the ability to delete Facebook accounts, but I think that once you’ve willfully shared a message with someone, deleting your account shouldn’t delete your messages. Chats feel like “shared” ownership of the messages in them.
No it's not true. That's exactly why this is so interesting and potentially devastating.

Does it have to be one thing or the other? Like the United States, China is a large and complex country. Pollution is horrible, there is a serious shortage of professional skills, and a looming demographic issue. However, at the same time, growth is strong and the country is still very much a developing economy, which means that there is a lot of low-hanging fruit that can be modernized for economic gains.

I don't think it needs to be an issue of China either taking over the world or collapsing. In all likelihood, China will continue to develop along its current track, with China becoming the largest economy sometime in the next 20 years, and presumably the largest military power sometime thereafter.

It feels like the real issue is in the US. The United States needs to come to terms with the fact that, for the next generation, it will have a geopolitical and strategic rival of roughly equal strength and influence, and needs to start building a coherent industrial policy to match that reality.
I wonder how much of that bi-polar reporting is due to Chinese government manipulation, which it does a lot of; and how much of it is due to the feeling that China is the enemy, so it's either weak (contempt) or strong (fear).
In the context of the sequence in the article I think "infinite value" is confusing. Infinity is a better choice. Using infinity signifies that that number of regular polytopes is not finite. The ∞ in this context just means that there is no bound on the number of regular polytopes and not meant to be taken as an actual number. When you say infinite value it makes me think, "Which infinite value?" There are infinitely many infinite cardinal numbers.

Am mathematician.
No, the EU doesn’t mess around. I don’t see any provisions in the GDPR allowing companies to do that.

I guess companies can charge money for services that cost them money, and give you money if you enable certain services.
You should be able to pick a location to save to directly from the prompt Firefox puts up that asks whether to save or open in an app, and if so which app...
GDPR will cover anyone in the EU. Doesn't cover citizens outside of the EU, and does cover visitors to the EU while they are there.

EDIT: But it's also likely that they will enable the protections for everyone in the world, because the risk of accidental non compliance is huge. Similar to how the cookie notification is just displayed everywhere now.
The city said it was a flood issue. Regardless, no one has an innate right to live anywhere. A billion people in this world are under refugee status -- in real dire circumstances.

Life is unfair. I have cancer and am currently in a serious legal dispute with extremely influential people. I also had everything stolen from me, by the police. I also probably have PTSD via the billionaire and his political mercenaries that nearly destroyed my life.

> It's not the complication that bugs me: it's the runtime inefficiency! Used carelessly, C++ templates produce massive code bloat from repetitive instantiations.

You mean you actually experience slowness clearly attributable to instruction cache misses? I don't know if I've ever had that. What bugs me is the compile-time inefficiency. A lot of times the same method gets regenerated for every time in the enclosing class even though most if not all of it could just as well be in the base class without the template parameter, to only get instantiated once.

fwiw I did this and it worked for me. It can take more than two weeks and if you login the process is interrupted. A good bet is to ask your friends when your messages appear as "facebook user". After that my login didn't work anymore.

I would be surprised if that turned into a long-term trend. Let's hope I'm right!
I’d be very surprised if Facebook is wasting half of their messages DCs by storing each message twice, instead of deduplicating them.

GDPR doesn't need to reenumerate this. Selling service above cost is already allowed.
I’m sure I know the sort you’re talking about, but there’s another quarter being heard from here too.

There isn’t space for an infinite number of libraries in a niche. So if you show up you are occupying space that someone else can’t. Sort of like if your friends throw a party and you decide to throw one on the same day. Kind of a dick move if you don’t have a really really good reason (like it’s your birthday).

Additionally is nearly impossible to sell a library now. It wasn’t always that way, but that’s the world we live in now, in large part because of FOSS. Writing it in-house or using FOSS are pretty much my only two options. So FOSS has to be some significant fraction of the quality of a commercial alternative because we can’t have those anymore. Without any attempt at sufficiency, FOSS effectively makes the world a worse place.
> Which means a sphere cannot be divided perfectly into more than 20 sections (the number of faces of the icosahedron)! any division scheme beyond that number is doomed to be imperfect.

Define "perfect". You can divide the sphere into 120 identical triangles, and that's just the most you can get using a Catalan solid. There's no upper limit if you allow general isohedral divisions.

This isn't pure nitpicking. The article talks says "Let’s say we wanted to divide earth into approximately equal pieces of land and give one to every human, what can we do?" and continues with a discussion of approximations. There's no need to approximate.

(When I say a sphere is divided into triangles, I mean that all the vertices are on the sphere.)
Most of the big services whose stuff I've actually read have a clause somewhere in the ToS or privacy policy saying that "deleted" data is not necessarily deleted from all copies in their possession. I suspect the primary purpose of this is to allow them to have append-only or offline backups, since that's incompatible with users being able to reach in and nuke all their stuff.

So is this one mechanism of how Chinese nations get their money out to afford million dollar properties in Australia?

> Australia's money laundering watchdog investigated more than $3 billion in suspicious transfers by Chinese investors last year, including $1 billion in property transactions. [1]

Considering they can only take out 50k USD per year [2]

I'm sure many can agree it's disgraceful that the Australian government is turning a blind eye to an incredible amount of money laundering... which some may argue is contributing to the incredibly high housing prices in Melbourne and Sydney. There are no median house prices left in Sydney under half a million dollars. [3].

A friend witnessed a Chinese national at an auction try to pay their deposit with a suitcase of cash. The real estate agent had to explain (through a translator) that they can't accept that amount of cash in a suitcase. Sorry can't give a reference here, but other HN'ers who have witnessed the auction frenzy in Australia may attest that this scenario is plausible.

Note, I'm not implying the Chinese are the direct contributor to the current situation, I am simply suggesting there is contributory related forces at play...

Australian Financial Review - "Of China's $47.3 billion (investments in Australia in 2016), $31.9 billion will go into real estate mostly in residential development assets." [4]

It's probably not literally true that Facebook stores two copies of each message (or three or more copies for group chats), but it makes sense for Facebook to act like it does because that's how email and text messages work.
I am a huge JS fan and I agree, for purely server side plays it’s probably not the best choice.

I actually think Node has not yet realized its best feature. It’s still in a research phase while it learns its best trick: components that bridge the client and server.

Meteor was an attempt. And server side boot in the MVC frameworks is another attempt. But both are wrong. Both try to create anonymous code that doesn’t know whether it’s on the client or server. But the client and server are different. The winning solution will acknowledge that, and just help the component do both. Once we have components that span client and server we can then write applications that don’t deal directly with HTTP. But not before.

That’ll be a huge thing.

They suggest downloading a copy of your data first. How does one do that?
somewhat related - if anyone else is still using the browser version of Facebook on their mobile phones (m.facebook.com) instead of downloading the app, it doesn't let you view messages and gives you an unskippable prompt to download Messenger, but this restriction is not there if you use the mobile basic interface (which also uses less data! mbasic.facebook.com)

It seems a bit naive to think that a service provider would scrub their systems on individual requests.

It's not practical to perform a delete in some environments. It's certainly not practical to go through backup files and delete references in others. Everybody goes through a data recovery scenario at some point.

What you should expect is best effort. Nobody is going to re-train their neural networks that referenced your data. It's doubtful that any provider would delete what they have gleaned about you simply because you wanted your account removed.

Then there's the practicality of things. If you delete your account here on HN, would you expect all conversations that you participated in to be removed? All references to your comments? Or all comments that you made removed? Do you expect them to push that change out to google? Do you expect your references in access logs removed? There's always a trail.

Facebook isn't uniquely evil. They have the same problems as everyone else, and they have those problems at an incredible scale.

People think about these things as if they are files or entries in a simple SQL database that can simply be removed. They may use databases, but to think that all of your data exists in a singular database or that all of your data only exists in databases is simply not extrapolating what you know about technology to their environment.

If google were to remove a website from their index, how long would it take for all of their environments to no longer have a record of it? And would that actually be desirable? There aren't faceless drones working on these kinds of problems. There are very smart people and most of them have a conscience and care about end users. I don't think you would find that any large group of people at facebook, google, amazon, microsoft, or any of the big companies are completely apathetic to end user concerns. I'm sure plenty are far too busy to address individuals directly, but they certainly are not apathetic.

None of the bitcoin core developers have much experience in network engineering nor do they recognise the importance of having robust netcode. It is no susprise that they see no urgency to address the vulns.
