Most people don't have the time to maintain friends lists, because the UI in that regard makes it sort of unproductive to manage different friend lists, compared to let's say, Google+.

As a consequence of that, what you publish on Facebook usually appeals to the lowest common denominator of all your friends lists (in my case: acquintances and coworkers).
On the other hand, for the next step up, e.g. small production services with spiky workloads, it looks great, assuming I've read the product details correctly.

Case in point, I have one service that doesn't usually need a lot of DB grunt, but has occasionally spiky and unpredictable read-heavy data extractions. It runs happily on a multi-AZ pair of db.t2.small instances, for which we currently pay $0.104/hr (ap-southeast-2). Frankly it could mostly run on a db.t2.micro but we occasionally need the headroom of the bigger instance and the availability of multi-AZ. So when Serverless Aurora comes here it'd be a shoo-in, being both cheaper and more scaleable, and with more replicas to boot.

GHC has a special mode (not available in released builds) that compiles Haskell to plain old C, which can then be compiled by any other C compiler. Of course when compiled in such manner, Haskell code runs very slowly but it works.
The use of “racism” to describe prejudice against traits other than inborn ones, such as nationality or ethnicity, goes back many decades and this is well recognized except by pedants. Take a look at the OED entry for “racist”.
I mean, sure, if you want to be that pedantic, you (both as an individual, and as a company) definitely have a free speech right to ask those questions. You expose yourself to so much liability of a discrimination lawsuit that the practical effect is that you do not have a right to ask those questions.

If you're okay with it being technically legal but impractical to ask these questions around salary or criminal history without legal liability, I suspect the rest of us are, too.
> Cities are not designed for walking but for moving with a car. In Winter streets are cold and depressing without light.

Isn't this more of an American thing? Over here in Europe, most cities seem perfectly walkable, with their general designs staying the same as they were before cars took off and the streets remaining as lively as ever.
If it makes you feel any better, my Mac has a sleep/wake failure every week or two and reboots instead of waking up.

Well okay, fine, but I don't accept the premise of your argument; we don't have a democratic rule of law, we have appointed lawmakers writing laws. They themselves are elected, sure, but they dramatically and ostentatiously represent their own interests over those of their constituents. They also direct more attentions towards issues which affect them than issues which affect their constituents.

That is especially true of Republicans, who can do literally anything and still enjoy substantial support from the people they keep in penurious thrall. But Democrats are then able to do the same thing by simply pointing at that distressing alternative to stay in office, so in reality we just have a bunch of corrupt egoists.

And that's where our criminal justice system's laws come from as much as our financial and political ones. A system like that cannot hold moral authority.

[Random advice from the internet]

Take the job because you need it and to realize that you are going to work for a business that thinks that it is O.K. to do what they are doing.

In different circumstances, my advice might be different. Here your immediate need is not frivolous. The option is employment versus unemployment not increasing an existing salary. This is business. The issues are contractual. They are not moral and not ethical.

This isn't an "It's not about the money." It's about the money all around. High volume cold calling and holding candidates for kingly ransom is the business model.

Good luck.

> Do they want to take action to address it?

Within the constraints of the assumptions I've outlined, yes, and they have.

One example is the fight for asm.js/Webassembly against PNaCl+Pepper. We fought that fight in part because Google was fine with introducing a whole new platform API in the form of Pepper, and Mozilla instead wanted to minimize the additional complexity by reusing existing Web platform APIs.

> Why does the "open Web" need to stay relevant?

I want a platform that isn't controlled by any single gatekeeper, through which app/content developers can reach all users and all users can reach the apps and content they want. (A sort of corollary is that the platform should be implementable in free software.) The Web is by far the closest thing we have to that.

One problem with a niche browser is that when you have a browser with very low market share, Web developers don't test against it, and with the state of software development technology today, stuff that's not tested in a platform implementation tends to not work on that platform implementation.

Another problem with a niche browser is that by definition it impacts a small number of users, and therefore only a relatively small investment can be justified.

Fortunately there is nothing stopping you or some like-minded group from doing your experiment. Tor has already done something similar and that's gone quite well.
www.stikk.com also has an inspirational nature/valley overlook cover image. I don't get it. When I see these images, I am only reminded of nice it is to not focus on my goals and go dick off in nature for a day.

> Except apparently not, because the linked article is literally saying it's not supported.

Not entirely true. Kafka, out of the box (and as far as I know, I'm no expert) will keep the records for 7 days and delete them afterwards.

Most people I know (including myself) use Kafka to keep records for longer and a good option is to use what the article describes, which is to compact the logs. In that case the log, after a configured period of time (or when it reaches determined size) gets compacted and only the latest message with an id gets saved, all previous messages with the same id get deleted (that's why the process needs a message with a null velue to perform the "delete").

Only in the case when you want to keep the data forever and can't use compaction (compaction assumes that your messages always contain the full state of an entity, so the last message will always contain the current state and the previous can be deleted with no side effects), then there's no way to delete a specific message. I'd have to read the exceptions for backups included in GDPR, but you could make the case that, in this case, the Kafka log is maintained only as a backup of the data, to be able to replay it again in case something downstream gets broken.
These stories make my blood boil, as they should all other people. The worst part of it is that people like to think that most police officers are good people just doing their jobs. However, their job is NOT supposed to involve stealing people’s life savings. I can’t see how any cop doing civil forfeitures, except in cases with extreme proof, (known drug dealer, drugs in the car, etc.) has any redeeming qualities as a human being. The officers involved in this and thousands of other cases are worse than the criminals they are paid to pursue - they are nothing more than armed members of a gang that conducts highway robberies.

There's no democracy without civil disobedience - which includes going to jail for breaking the law. Almost every change in society has been brought about by someone "breaking" a law - escaping slavery, sitting in the front section of a bus, loving someone of the same sex,...etc. I can go on. Law plays catch-up with attitude changes and what we consider acceptable as a society. We may sometimes have to break the law first to fix it.
This paper is spreading like wildfire in the science online community--not because of it's results--but because of how this data was obtained. It reveals that Facebook is monitoring everything you do on the platform. When you start to write a post, maybe in a moment of anger, think better of it, and delete that post to write something more moderate, Facebook has recorded everything you wrote and deleted.

This isn't a new revelation to HN. I've seen posts here before analyzing the javascript behind Facebook and showing how it's recording your every keystroke. According to the academics I follow, this paper is the evidence that the company is sharing that data with third parties.
The parts of black holes we can access are simple, but that excludes the interior. Bit of a caveat, that.
Yes, because they try to strip the binaries as much as possible so that the file size is smaller. If you compile a regular "hello_world.c" with gcc -O3, the size is 8 kb. You can def make a malware that is way smaller that does something simple like change some registry value to some uri.

Average size for malware is ~100kb-200kb btw. This is way smaller than almost any software besides some console games.
I do not have any research. My personal observation and belief is:

A young child (0 to ~3 years) does not understand electronics. The input output response from a battery device cannot be easily guessed from only physical examination, thus it is not a good toy to develop a mental model.

I would much rather my child (at a very early age), form the basic mental models of the physical world so that she can predict how the world will react around her. Throwing a ball, banging a percussive instrument, stacking blocks. These all help form physical models of the world.

What solidified this belief for me was watching my ~11 month old frantically pushing the button on a battery operated rocking horse she had received as a present from her aunt. My child could not understand why the horse had made noise before, but (once I took the batteries out) did not make noise. After seeing that, I realized that we needed to make things simpler before we made them more complex.
1. The issue here is what browsers are expecting with a <video> tag, which is long-form content and that's what they are optimizing for.

2. Depends on the browser and the player that is used.

3. Well, the <img> tag is by default much more limited, hence it is less of interested to the ad companies and the browsers allow it more freedom. But yes I agree that this is a point the browser developers should improve upon.
That does work, thanks!

I have a very good solution: a garbage bin. It sounds harsh but after the second round of this well meaning relatives will either bring better toys or will stop giving stuff, everybody wins. Taking 'wrong' toys to the goodwill just keeps them in play and will essentially make them somebody else's problem.

And good toys (which tend to live a lot longer than crap ones) too can be taken to the goodwill later on and then will make someone else happy.

> You voice regret while doing nothing different.

While you've been quite vocal about your emotional reactions—which I do regret—you've been far less clear about the concrete actions to which tiu had those reactions, which makes it very difficult to assess whether I ought to do anything differently and, if so, what (the same is true of your criticism of the HN community more generally; you clearly feel you've gotten inadequate support and others have gotten better treatment, but it's not at all clear what you expected HN members to do for you and how others have been better treated.

> Please stop bothering me. I consider it to be actively malicious behavior at this point.

It's a public forum, and you don't get to exclude people from responding to you because of your interpretations of their motivations.

I'm certainly willing to consider criticism of things you think I've done wrong, but merely responding to your public posts, as such, is not something I’m going to avoid.

If you choose to see that as “actively malicious”, well, it may not be reasonable, but there’s really nothing I can do about that, is there?
No, he's describing conservatism (at least the U.S. variation) which is largely classical liberalism. It does not mean "preserving the status quo at all costs".
I find a lot of it is selection bias -- because the police generally interact with criminals, they come to view the whole population as criminal. Do it long enough, you start to get jaded and ask yourself "why do I follow the law when all these people break it with few consequences?"

Also see the effects of the "thin blue line" eroding institutional morality... it's easy to get to a place where we are -- even white people in America no longer trust the police.
VCR heads are incredibly delicate. They are essentially coils of extremely thin wire held together with a little bit of resin around a tiny mu-metal core. Touch them from the wrong angle and they're already gone.
> Your hostility in this most recent comment seems to be much more blatant and not a matter of misunderstanding.

All your replies to me were hostiles and some of them complaining about my hostility. I wasn't hostile at any time, my question was on the subject of the topic but every answer of yours you tried to frame me as hostile. Because you feel that women are hostilized here. I feel that black men are hostilized here too. By men and women. But most of the times I'm hostilized it is directly correlated to the angriness in some of my replies. I don't think that bring more black people ready to engage in flamewars about why there aren't many of us here will do any good to HN and neither them will enjoy the experience. Tech savvy black people will. And I think exactly the same about women on HN.

I believe your understanding is incorrect. GDPR certainly includes storage and processing, both of which backups probably trigger.

Anyway, think about the spirit of the law, and then think about how that interacts with backups. If someone asks to be deleted from your system, you do so, and then you restore a backup with their data, you have clearly violated the intent.

Well - that's debatable:

While the guy wasn't criminally charged or arrested (that last is also ingenuous, because being stopped for a traffic violation as he was is technically an "arrest"), things could have went far differently for him.

All for not wearing a seatbelt and for having his life savings in cash with him...

As it was, he lost that money for more than 8 months; he should get it back with interest earned or something (opportunity costs, etc).
How about that. Clean 1br for around $1500/month and 10 minutes from BART station. That's pricey, but workable.

You're describing society at large. This has nothing to due with "conservatism".

Our main problem as a society is that half the country believes the above, and the other half believes that the half that isn't them are all lawless savages who need order imposed by a heavy hand.

This can't end well.

This is an especially hard read given what's happening right now to the tax system.

I think about 95% of posts in this thread are currently negative (IMO a great thing!). I’d be interested what the reception will be like in the broader population. If this sentiment is universal, Facebook has a big problem - it would mean trust has eroded to the point that most people only grudgingly use it, and to me that cries for disruption.
I'm puzzled. If there's no agreement between the new employer and the recruiter, then nothing you say to the recruiter matters. The company isn't obligated to pay the recruiter absent an agreement, even if the recruiter delivered you to them in a shiny gold box. So the fact that they're asking you not to disclose suggests to me that they're not being entirely truthful about the situation.

But that's not important right now. What is important is the signaling behind it -- that this is a company who's willing to find ways not to pay people by asking people to hide otherwise ordinary information. A company that's willing to screw one person is usually willing to screw another, and the next person may well be you.

My advice: find another company to work for ASAP.
