So I read that this drop relies on fears the there will be a spike in inflation due to increases in demand from higher wages and job growth? I am interested to see whether the inflation will really come so easily. I've personally been predicting that production can easily meet large increases in demand given current production tech, and international economic systems where multiple supply chains can reroute around locsl disruptions to production.

Of all of the intentionally myopic takes on the Trump economy so far, this one grinds my gears the most. Yes, it is factually correct to say that there's economic activity outside publicly traded companies. However, the stock market is an effective gauge of investor confidence and a sign of the overall economic climate. It's delusional to try and act like the huge shift in stance toward big business and tax reform hasn't roused some executives to aggressively expand.

To take things to extremes for the sake of illustration, you could also say that violent suppression of a specific religion under an authoritarian regime doesn't describe the human rights stance of that regime. Is that possible? Yes. Is that likely? Not very.
Because that was the article-author's thought before he dug in and found the real issue. The comment implied that the code would only fail if there were a million icons, and the article-author knew that the code was failing.
State of Cryptocurrency Regulation (February 2018)
I would agree but its really hard to come up with a standard like that. All photographs are processed. Whether its film or digital. No camera captures reality as it exists. (Without even going into how display's can't accurately display all the color/tone variations in reality either) Every photograph has a tone map applied to it. The chemicals you choose to process film with will cause them to look a certain way.

Now you may limit it to whatever settings the camera chose automatically, but I'd say its a weak dividing line. Are composites allowed if I used an HDR picture mode on the camera that brackets the same scene with differing exposures? (all done automatically in camera ofcourse). What about automatic focus stacking? etc, etc. Technically all of those would be composites.

How about 'dont ask for permissions to send push notifications to my browser' for everyone who gets to your page? or 'Dont overlay fixed ads on the screen'.

It used to be that I only had to clear one popup, now every news site its ok, I do want to continue my life in agony without your newsletter, close this ad overlay so I can see the content, no don't want you pushing notifications to my browser". Skip!

Can I disable that little popup in Chrome asking if I want to allow it?

>That problem is hard. It's not just that we need a way to tell the source ISP to drop the traffic on their end, it's that we need a way for them to trust that you are the actual destination and not someone trying to cause a denial of service by having them drop legitimate traffic.

I think a large part of it could be solved by a combination of (1) egress filtering and (2) the ISP enforcing TCP congestion control -- so that if a DDoS'd server stops sending an ACKs to an attacker, the attacker get limited (at its own ISP) to 1 packet every few seconds. For UDP, something similar could probably be done -- e.g., if no packets are received from the other host, then drastically rate-limit the bandwidth to that host. (I'm not sure if this would break any widely used UDP protocols, though.)
I know of one app for sure, but I don't know if I can tell :)
But where do you put your money in a time like this?
>you're already relying on capricious companies vulnerable to legal coercion.

The important distinction is that you're relying on a local ISP, not some company based in the jurisdiction of some foreign government (for everyone outside of the US like sci-hub).
More protected? I guess that is one way of looking at it. Like the law about the cookie popup. Brings nothing of value but you can get in trouble if you don’t have it, does it make you feel more protected?

I mostly see this as a way to fine big companies and put some money in the pocket. Also like with tax and other laws if the enforcement is delegated to the members we will have same situation like we do now with tax in Ireland or the way Volkswagen and Co. put their cars to sales first in specific countries to bypass German standards.

A lot of this also makes no sense from technology perspective, it would be easier to force browsers not to accept 3rd party cookies then to make me ruin user experience cos i have a youtube video embedded in the site.

EU learned a lot how to be a nanny state from Germans, which in a way and kills a lot of freedoms under guise of security... But I for one would rarely sacrifice freedom for security...
It doesn't say anything about data protection specifically. The Fourth Amendment deals with people being (theoretically; the reality is not great) safe from unreasonable searches and seizures perpetuated by the government.

I don't really know of anything that deals with giving people more power to direct how private entities can use (or not use) their data.

Frankly, US privacy and data protection laws are terrible, and what little we do have ends up being weak enough that companies and the government can usually find ways around it when it's inconvenient for them.

Not sure how well the GDPR will work in practice; this is going to rely on broad but even-handed enforcement. The fines are hefty enough that not complying would actually do financial harm to companies, but that'll only work if the EU actually enforces the law properly. Only time will tell if they do.

Except CloudFlare refuses to name such an entity. All they're willing to do is forward my complaint to the "provider of the phishing site".

So they're willing to violate my privacy and put me in danger by possibly forwarding my details to possible criminals, but they refuse to do anything about the actual problem.

They say they will

In the conclusion:

"Distributed ledger and other emerging technologies have the potential to further influence and improve the capital markets and the financial services industry. Businesses, especially smaller businesses without efficient access to traditional capital markets, can be aided by financial technology in raising capital to establish and finance their operations, thereby allowing them to be more competitive both domestically and globally. And these technological innovations can provide investors with new
pportunities to offer support and capital to novel concepts and ideas."

"Said simply, we should embrace the pursuit of technological advancement, as well as new and innovative techniques for capital raising, but not at the expense of the principles undermining our well-founded and proven approach to protecting investors and markets."

All things considered, this is a positive outcome for crypto making it an even better investment.
Definitely not. My first thought seeing this was that Google wants to move in on Wordpress to embrace, extend and extinguish.

Makes two jaded HN readers so far :)
Really 99% of the arguments I hear about WordPress are because of the community of "developers". Don't get me wrong, there are tons of great developers in the community that are actively working on great features for WordPress either in the form of core or plugins. What I'm specifically referring to are content maintainers that know some CSS, use themes like Avada, and know their go-to plugins to make bloated and convoluted, hard-to-maintain sites.

Really I think where WordPress actually lacks is in the API department. The almost non-sensical approach to partially implemented OOP kills any ambition I have to create a site without my own weird abstraction layer I wrote on top of it all.

Why Rising Wages Scare Stock Market Investors
These kinds of findings worry me. Given that self-control is such a major determinant in a persons quality of life, research coming out and suggesting this is not so easily taught, is bad news for the population at large.

It is good news for anyone who uses a genetic basis to justify segregation, which is also bad for the population at large. Especially if it is then used to justify preconceived notions of racial difference, even though the study is probably quite a homogeneous racial sample and therefore would be a false link to make.

None the less, this is still an area that needs research, no research should be prevented on ideological grounds. Yes this could be used to brand or label people, but it can also be used to determine children more likely to need help at an early age. We may yet have more studies come along which discredit this, or strengthen it. Given this is apparently new methodology, that is especially needed.

I would have thought the same if the rest of the article didn't try to prove how it is a world domination move (just a few examples):

> Data protection is a good example of Europe trying to extend its influence over other countries

> In response, legislators worldwide are scrambling to update their domestic legislation

> the upcoming data protection changes risks being viewed as yet another diktat handed down by former colonial powers in

> We’re already seeing a number of countries falling in line with Europe
Yup. One area where this gets particularly interesting is healthcare - older people consume quite a lot of it, it's highly skilled and hasn't been particularly amenable to automation, it can't be stockpiled at all, and healthcare investment mostly seems to increase the amount people consume and the price of it.

Of course, generally you wouldn't exchange your assets directly for food or healthcare; more likely you'd have stocks and bonds and make money from some combination of selling on to non-retirees and taking some of the profits when they buy things from those companies, but it's ultimately what you're doing in the end.

True, but there are a few gotchas with that version. It won't work with execve, it doesn't cache the binary, it won't work if called with "source", it doesn't set argv[0] properly when the binary is called, and a few other things. It is nice and terse though.
>As you say, it does run the risk of coming off as patronizing. It's hard to avoid that entirely, as different people sometimes have drastically different standards.

Definitely. I read your post as very patronizing (even though I agree with it) because you started with "Your heart is in the right place." That's just a sugar-coated way tell a child "nice try but you're extremely naive". IMO it's better to skip telling someone they are wrong like a child and skip right to the rebuttal without including any references to the parent author (an ad-hominem).

I will never understand what HN downvotes. This was a cool conribution. Weird paper, but substantial.
Really trying to tick off all the buzzwords in this one, eh? Only thing missing is probably "live free or die" while an eagle flies through the scenery.

The EU law aims at giving citizens in the European Union more control over their own data. They should be informed what a company does with their personal information and they should need to consent to it. In other words, they have a right to make a transparent, informed decision.

I don't know what this has to do with nanny states or taking away anybody's freedom. In fact this is a great tool to give individuals freedom and ownership over their data.

For example Uber has a long time habit on trying to get drivers to do what they want by using their information in ways that drivers are likely not aware of. The goal of legislation in the future must be to empower those drivers to be conscious of this and have a right to demand in what way information is used to control them.

I don't want to end up in a world of nanny businesses because we're too afraid to legislate them.
I know the knee-jerk reaction on Hacker News will be that this is really a positive outcome ... but I think people are not actually digesting the consequences of the wholesale export of EU regulations across the world.

The EU has many regressive regulations based on outdated notions with regards to the rights of individuals.

Just one example: in the US if someone is involved in egregious fraud (such as ripping off thousands of individuals in a scam) then the US says that such information constitutes news and that even if its old information from a decade ago its relevant, and a platform like Kickstarter or Google can keep the information online for users to assess before transacting with the individual.

In Europe this could be deemed illegal. There's a right to be forgotten in Europe. And sometimes even relevant and newsworthy information can be ordered to be purged from databases.

The Europeans don't want companies or users deciding on the rules for platforms. They want to make one rule and apply it across all platforms. Not only that, they don't really think through the implications of some standards. Like if there is a right to be forgotten, can companies like Kickstarter really afford to scrutinize every request for deletion of data and use a lawyer to determine if the request is justified? Of course not. They will just make an algorithm and automatically delete the information. The value of the platform in the long term will decline as fraud from years ago is purged.

There is a cost and benefit to all types of censorship. Censorship of information about individuals isn't always just positive. There are lots of serial fraudsters who get away with decades of shenanigans because information about them is not readily available.

Also, and this is more controversial, I happen to think many types of privacy (but not all) are really just cultural artifacts of right now and don't have much utility from a political and economic perspective. Of course there is a value to protecting the privacy of private communication to prevent the rise of totalitarian states, etc., but some other kinds of privacy are really just around to avoid personal embarrassment. But the standards for embarrassment are always changing. At one time we were all running around half-naked and fornicating in small tribes where there was literally no privacy. So there's nothing innate in our nature that says that certain activities must be kept private. Its merely custom that such and such activities can be used to embarrass an individual.

In the future, it may be that even presidential candidates will have some embarrassing selfies distributed online, and maybe even some dic pics or boob shots from their youth ... and probably nobody will care much ... except to say ... damn, my future president has a fire crotch ... or something like that. But it will be said in passing, and nobody will care much. Just like nobody gave two shits about Obama smoking choom.

This is a huge pendulum swing from our present state of massive regulations. The writer forgets a number of things that should be taken into account.

People are much more transient and as such do not know their neighbors the way they did in years past.

With the media’s hyper focus on all things bad, people are much less likely to let their children stay with people other than super close friends or family.

Those who have chosen to not have children or who are waiting to have children until their careers are more est abolished often work very long hours. As such, they are far too tired to care for the children of others.

There are just a few reasons and there are many, many more.

Yeah. I was working on some search-and-rescue stuff using Google Glass. My eventual prototype had a "coarse" mode and a "fine" mode.

In fine mode, it would give you a fairly detailed readout of the bearing and distance to your target (marked with GPS). It required doing that thing where you're looking up-and-to-the-right in order to see what was going on.

In coarse mode, the entire Glass display was changed to a single color. I found that it showed up well even in someone's peripheral vision and the colors were distinct enough that you could navigate pretty well without having to watch the display.

I tried using symbols (giant triangles to indicate direction and such) but none of them worked as well as the color blocks.

I've had two cars that were excellent buys. One was a 2000 Camry. That car went to 275k miles before I sold it. It cost me very little maintenance - two timing belts and two sets of tires, plus oil changes etc. Camry has a non-interference engine so if the timing belt breaks, you won't damage the engine (Hondas mostly have interference engines and if the timing belt blows, you're screwed). Now I have a Miata, 1997. This car has a non-interference engine, decent on gas, resale values are good, and the thing is bulletproof. I've used and abused this car and it takes it like a champ. The Mazda 323/protege used the same engine but is FWD, those things are bombproof as well. They don't get sexed up like Civics so you can find them dirt cheap as well.

Agree that saying "Biggest Point Drop in History" is a deliberate attention-grabber and incites more fear than it probably should. We should be more concerned with percentage changes and at -4.6% this doesn't even make the top 20 daily percentage drops, which cuts off at -6.98% for number 20 (see above link).
