Completely agree. As someone who lives in a developing country, it always seems funny to me how there is frequently a distorted view in developed countries of how globalization should work, where they get all the upsides but none of the competition.

Everybody loves the idea of selling in a global market, but few realize that with globalization there are more opportunities, but also that they will have to work harder, study more and be more creative to compete for businesses, jobs and assets, with billions of people who previously had little to no opportunities, but who are willing to put in a lot of effort to compete for a share of the global marketplace. The trickiest part is that with technology and education, globalization is inevitable in the long term, no matter what politicians do or think.

From my view, sometimes it looks hypocritical when people from developed countries criticize the local 1% and the rigged system and unfair privilege that keep rich people rich, but then demand and expect that they get those same advantages on a country wide level, without realizing that they are simply defending the global 1% because it benefits/affects them directly.

California law requires notification in "the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement, as provided in subdivision (c), or any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system."

This sounds like something well, well beyond that. So as far as I'm concerned, the new CEO seems like nearly as much of as scofflaw as the old.

The philosophical question that arises from here, now, is that if someone really cared about that offer to be introduced through the app (like a new feature notification), would it still be called an 'advertisement'? But then, to know whether you "care about" this feature to be introduced in the app so that it wouldn't be an advertisement, they'd need to track what you care about and what you don't. But people have issues with tracking :). Not supporting or opposing anything here, just thinking aloud.

I guess you are correct in that sense. It's a tough subject to discuss in the open so better to stay mute.
Your quality of life must have been rather low for it to go up 10x by deleting facebook.

sorry your post is juvenile garbage. banks do not suppress industry or consumers, they finance it.

The reason manufacturing has moved to China is simply because it's cheaper to make stuff there.
The article author's claims are anecdotal by definition. She is recounting the story of why she doesn't want to be a software developer anymore. As readers, we can ask ourselves whether her story represents something that we feel is true in our own lives.

In a way, the comment you are replying to is at odds with article, and in a way the comment is in agreement with the article.

The comment you are replying to states that the physically demanding work that commenter is acquainted with is an alternative that makes software development seem like a good job choice. In that way, the commenter is disagreeing with the article author. However, the commenter also states that he is blessed by the ability to do software development style work. This is a sentiment that the article author shares, writing that she is blessed by the ability to build up enough money to safely try out other careers. In this way, both writers are in congruence.

I think you're reading sentiments that are not evident into the comment you are replying to. In my reading of that comment, there is nothing there that is attacking - just someone observing that they don't share the author's perspective, and explaining why. Bringing gender into the discussion also strikes me as an overreach. There is nothing about the subject that is related to gender - the article author is disenchanted with software development and wants a different career. The commenter, having had a less pleasant career first, prefers software development with it's flaws.

As a final note, I believe the word you are looking for is "affect" and not "effect" - if you mean that men are adopting a tone in order to make an impression on others.
You do it from settings, from the main settings page. I just did it myself, it's quite terrifying how much data they have on me. I also discovered that all my contacts from my phone have been synced to Facebook, despite my trying to avoid that.
This is pretty fine high level grade bullshit. (Or Poe's law strikes again!)

The not-too-representationally selected/elected leaders of China want to keep the power of pegging their currency, which is very essential in a centrally planned economy, at the cost of personal freedoms. (And the yearly 50 000 USD limit is more than enough for poor people to send all of their savings away to a fraudster though, so it's not absolutely the right thing.)

A powerful private banking system is very different from a shadow bank that uses identity theft/fraud to store and gambling to exchange currencies. A healthy banking system helps allocate credit (which is risk), but since the barriers to entry to the finance sector is high (cost of regulatory compliance, IT security risks), margins are low (products are fungible, a mortgage is a mortgage, a savings/checking account is a savings/checking account, it doesn't matter which bank you chose, so you'll use the cheapest) and network effects are also high, we don't really see a healthy banking sector. (Thus risks are largely concentrated in too big to fail banks, and that's why the new big bank requirements include systemic exposure stress test regulations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_III - of course, it's easy to argue that this just moves bubbles somewhere else.)

As to the other claims ("Now we see the US and the EU largely controlled by banking interests" - no, we don't, we see populism/nationalism/chauvinism, we see good old regulatory capture [the FCC Chairman is an ex-Verizon lawyer currently playing dumb for a lot of money, or just out of spite, the EPA lead is a proud climate change denier, the current UK leaders are typical isolationists, and so on], "very little if any taxes applied to financial gains" - cca average of 15% is not very little https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_gains_tax and "the entire industrial complex has moved to China" - no, only the labor and raw materials intensive things [which is of course an enormous slice of the pie], but nowadays the problem is with lack of effective retraining in the advanced economies.)

What caught my attention about this post, and the reason I'm sharing it on HN, is that even though Rust's original selling point was its "ownership" feature, I'm starting to get the feeling that there are other things about the language and its that are driving its success.

In this case, it sounds like the killer feature is easy, powerful reflection. People also seem to really like Cargo. The standard library seems to be very nice. And the language's speed is excellent (ripgrep is written in Rust).
[oh, before edit the parent post asked what is "rentier"]

It means that the profit on/from that specific form of economic activity is due to market inefficiencies, not due to the actual added value.

So, if more money chases the same stock of housing, rents and housing prices go up, yet no value was added to the houses.

Similarly, if opening a bank is impossibly hard, banks can be assholes, they can raise monthly fees and so on.
90 days to delete my data? Is a real person going to every server and manually changing the bits that store it? :) ... I wonder if this is an artificially inflated time period, just like the 'Unsubscribe' feature from unsolicited emails that tell you it might take "7 to 10 days" to unsubscribe your email address, when it should take less than a second.

There are many variations of democracy - what the communist nations refer to, or referred to, as a democracy is a "People Democracy" in the Marxist-Leninist sense or the "Democratic Dictatorship" in the Maoist sense

Workers or peasant councils would be directly elected, they would in-turn elect a local congress from those members, who then then elect a municipal congress, etc. up to the national congress.

They're not democracies in the Western liberal multi-party democracy sense - but as they retain a facade of self-determination they're still classed democracies much as there are other variations - such as Russia and Hungary being illiberal democracies.

Maybe they have different tiers of backup systems, and manually trying to go in there and deleting one person's data on demand can be "expensive", so they do it in batches. You're only guaranteed to be fully wiped off after a certain amount of time.
Yes and no. The US banking system uses a pretty complicated maze to spread risks. Banks help you organize a bond sale/auction, then "investors" buy your bonds (usually it goes for lower than nominal price .. but sometimes not http://www.livemint.com/Money/sM11Y0RuGHmvUiGFVgNecL/Corpora... ), and then other banks and institutions buy your bond (invest in it).

Not the OP but I use org-mode to write articles for my website and also to manage my dotfiles, this-- [http://abhirag.in/articles/org/i3_setup.html] is just an org-mode file exported to html, you can also see the literate dotfiles on that page, they have been generated using org-babel. I am also trying to setup a proper literate programming workflow using org-babel but that is still a work in progress. For a glimpse of what org-mode supports you can look at this this article of mine -- [http://abhirag.in/articles/org/custom_org_theme.html]. Hopefully these examples helped but I have only scratched the surface here, have a look at-- [http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/] and other stuff on the official website to find more information :)
So for public facing documentation on an API there are technical writers (like for support docs) but for internal documentation we are expected to keep code well documented. Yeah it might be good to just start having these safeguards and as the code base churns it will gradually get fixed.

I've looked in to the question and I've changed it so that even the MobileAds SDK is only initialized if premium is not active when the application is first created. This way, if premium is enabled, AdMob is not touched in any way at any stage of the application's lifecycle. I asked whether or not this initialize call I was worried about actually does anything with respect to tracking and the only answer I've gotten so far is a "no", but I still need to do a little more research to make sure there aren't any other possible ways you may be tracked if ads aren't ever being loaded or requested. This additional check will go live in a day or two and I'll update you if I find any other potential issues.
Some years back working with another social service, a major issue was cached data through third-party providers (think Akamai, Limelight, Cloudflare, etc.). These are systems 1) outside the primary service's immediate control and 2) with their own data-retention policies and 3) data management tools.

Someone I knew was tasked with removing large quantities of image data that had proved inopportune. There was limited support for doing this, though a method was developed. My understanding is that the caching service provider hadn't had to deal with such matters at that scale previously, though this information is incomplete. I strongly suspect that this is more frequently encountered now.

I'm not excusing Facebook (and generally avoid doing so), but one of the interesting things about scale is, well, its sheer scale, and what seem like simple operations become complex.
> A user has the right to have removed all content they've produced regardless of whether it's linked with other posts.

Do they though? Maybe I'm understanding it wrong, but I thought the GDPR only applies to personally identifying information, not all data ever generated by a user. So by disassociating the user name and the post, the post has suddenly ceased to be personally identifying information and no longer needs to be deleted.
I don't. For one, it's broken on Android (figures floating over text, lines cut in half etc.). But the worst flaw is in the way they made scrolling change the 2D polygon: if you leave the scroll bar in some positions, it no longer actually shows a regular polygon. For a math text that's a deadly sin.
>no third-party intermediary ... whose authorization is needed to make a transaction. This is what makes it cash-like.

You need to get your transactions accepted to the ledger and you need to pay for that to happen as well (I guess whether the mining network is a third party is debatable).

Not mentioning that people will most likely use some sort of intermediary for their digital wallet to begin with.

So far he's right. It doesn't work now. It works better than the blue/red glasses, but that's not saying much.

As for the "inability to solve this technological problem", that could be true. I don't think we can solve all technical problems. The opposite is saying we can solve all technical problems.

Having unaccountable billionaires with no knowledge of the field dump piles of money down (along with dictating how it should be spent) in a splashy PR stunt is a horrible way to improve public institutions.

Instead we should properly tax the billionaires, and then elect public officials who value public education, so they can figure out how to improve schools with the advice and help of all of the local stakeholders.

But a lot of the rich folks’ education initiatives (including Zuckerberg’s, probably) turn out to be more about gaming the tax code and sometimes immigration laws (with a bonus of good PR) than really helping the schools out. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2014/06/...

As an added bonus (more relevant to the Koch brothers than Zuckerberg perhaps), charter schools help break teachers’ unions and destroy the public education system, which has a big knock-on political benefit for Republicans who want to undercut a major base of Democratic party support.

See my above comment. I don’t see how Facebook can reconcile deleting your comments on things like statuses and preserving messages in the Messenger app. Maybe that just means they aren’t actually deleting your comments.

I don't necessarily disagree with any of your arguments. I have good working conditions, yes. My wife has good working conditions; she's forced to be in a union at her current job, but in previous jobs doing the same work, she was not. She doesn't like them, either, but again, we're both professionals.

However, your reply is structured around trying to convince me that I should be pro-union rather than ambivalent, and does not address the issue at hand; how to square "right to work" laws and the free rider problem with unions.

Is there anything inherently bad about a site using your data to serve you more relevant ads, as long as your data is not passed on to a 3rd party?

Is there anything inherently bad about a stalker passively observing and recording your every move, as long as they don't disturb your daily routine or pass the data along?

Even if you find the stalking behavior (cross-site tracking) of ad companies acceptable, there is a significant risk that your data leaks or is stolen. So, I should be able to decide who I trust with saving intimate data and who I don't.
How to Get Microsoft Product Key to Activate Your Software
