The Lambda Calculus Y Combinator (Requesting Confirmation or Clarification)
So basically it is f(f(f(do stuff here or put value here or both))) with more parenthesis as it runs or is it f(((do stuff here or put values here or both))) with more parenthesis as it runs?
Basically looks like this f(((((((λx. f (x x)) (λx. f (x x)))))))) with growing numbers of parenthesis or are there f's between the left parenthesis?
Currently believe it is likely f(f(f(f and so on...AKA: "function with same function as input here: (function with same function as input here: (function with same function as input here:" and so on.
Thanks in advance for confirming and clarifying.﻿

PS: Can confirm how the y combinator gets past step 3 in the following list of iterations?
IE: Does the input function get passed in as f again somehow or is the f on left side of the function always automatically assigned the original input value on every pass?:
Step 1:
(λf. (λx. f (x x))(λx. f (x x)))SomeFunction
Step 2:
(λx. SomeFunction (x x))(λx. f (x x))
Step 3:
SomeFunction(λx. f (x x))(λx. f (x x))
Step 4 (Want to make sure this "f is automatically assigned SomeFunction as val on every pass" step is correct):
SomeFunction(SomeFunction(λx. f (x x))(λx. f (x x)))
> How does the fact that banks hold a fraction of their assets in a central bank put pressure on companies to grow exponentially?

That is not what I would understand by the term "fractional reserve banking". Rather, fractional reserve banking refers to a system where banks do not hold enough liquid assets to cover their obligations. Central banks are completely irrelevant to the concept. The location of a bank's assets are also completely irrelevant to the concept.

If you have difficulty accepting anything that doesn't confirm your bias then, yes, I can see it might be difficult, otherwise it's really quite easy to accept that, for example, the current Prime Minister of Nepal is a Communist.

Good luck with your flat Earth stuff though.
It happened to me at work recently. I thought this was fake too but my zipper broke on my backpack at work while my coworker and I were walking down a long hallway between offices. We spent the whole walk talking about backpack zippers. When we got to the other office and I looked something up on facebook I had ads for backpack zippers. It was so creepy and neither of us had searched for anything between the conversation and when it showed me the ad. Listening to my mic while I wasn't even in the facebook app was literally the only way they could have known to show me those ads.

IOTA picked up lots of bad blood by far right alt-right wingers after their very left statements on twitter. Whole thing is shitfest really, in 90 out of 100 cases there's straight lies, FUD and representation about their project. Which make me only confident they will be the future.
You seem to misunderstand the way an event horizon works. From the infalling object's (and the hole's) reference frame, the object crosses the event horizon in finite time and falls into the singularity. It is only from an observer's perspective that the object never seems to cross the horizon.
it's not Bitcoin network that's in violation, but the company that owns the transaction in which the data is in.

let's say I'm a shop and i allow btc payments, but I include the customers info in the transaction or something to such an effect. then I'm in violation, and must pay a fine (since I can never delete that info). The network has nothing to do with this, and nobody else on the network is party to the violation.

Just want to clarify that, while I never worked with a fitness coach, I started off following Stronglifts which is touted as the best thing since sliced bread, but it's way too aggressive and down right dangerous if you don't have perfect form. It really made things worse for me.

The physical therapist that eventually helped (even cured) me showed me basic routines of much less "aggressive" exercises (basically the same as what the other person replied to you).

I then used those routines a base for further research and now always try to switch up the exercises I do, it gets boring otherwise. /r/bodyweightfitness has a good suggested routine.
I like the idea and would love to try it! I have one small concern though. Since the incentive (money) is given to popular videos, why people should post unpopular opinions in Stemmit or videos in Dtube?

That is, if I upload a video of a cat doing some funny thing I'll get more tokens (potentially) that with a super technical video.

I use a shell script ACME client on FreeBSD (called letsencrypt.sh; different from the one linked in this submission and is available in FreeBSD's repos) and have been for a couple of years now. It's worked flawlessly in that time and was an absolute doddle to use. In fact easier than the other ACME clients in FreeBSD's repos at that time.

I do hear your criticism of shell scripting - I've written enough things in Bash and Bourne to be intimately familiar with the pitfalls myself. However the string handling required here is pretty basic (strings are encoded anyway as part of the ACME protocol so no escaping required there; and domain names are just ASCII characters without whitespace (even unicode domains just get compiled down to ASCII) so it's all pretty basic stuff). Plus curl and openssl are both solid tools and pretty standard on most systems (given openssl is used in the vast majority of web servers; you'd probably need that just to run your SSL certs anyway).

I don't have anything against lego either. In fact I'm quite an advocate of Go - having written a number of projects in that language myself. But I do think this is one situation that shell scripts are a technically valid option as well.
Thanks for your modesty. Unfortunately, I feel the same about my thesis (in progress) and would much rather share some weekend hack on GitHub...
What I've seen from the world at large is not large multinationals failing at handling private information properly, but rather them not trying to handle private information properly. I.e. it's not because they're incapable of doing so if they wanted, but that they didn't even attempt to do so. GDPR is a way of forcing some of them to stop handling the information, and forcing those who do to actually start trying.

Ask HN: Converting USD to EUR for max gain
I'm a Spanish dev working for an US company. Recently my stock options vested, and I sold everything getting USD in return. I used an USD account instead of converting to EUR the same day because the USD/EUR change was pretty bad (now is getting better). Those are money that I will have to use for my family for the years to come, but unfortunately I'm not exactly a market expert. Here there are people that are good not just with code, but also with this matters. Please, could you suggest me a simple strategy in order to avoid doing a mess while exchanging to EUR? For instance I could convert 20% every time the EUR looks weak, like today, or should I wait for months before changing? I understand noone has the magic answer here (otherwise you would be rich), but probably there are rules to follow to avoiding doing the worst conversion ever. Thanks.

It is an interesting point how would an insurance company calculate the risk when there is not that much real data.

If an airplane crashes all similar airplanes won't fly until the cause of the crash will be found and fixed in all the affected airplanes. I want similar responsibility from cars.

I see how easy they get approved to test self driving cars without the citizens having to vote if they should be test subjects and I am worried that this companies have a powerful lobby and that the rules and laws won't be fair for the citizens.

Other thing that worries me is that you allow self driving cars without a radar or any sensor that can detect a front collision, this also feels as letting companies to test their software on the expense of people lives.

This are my opinions, I hope you can understand what some people like me think about this situation and why we think that this is something new that needs good and fair laws and rules for the citizens.

It does not affect hares, but they can spread it to other rabbits.
Killing and trapping doesn't even scratch the surface of the problem, it is truly immense. Rabbits have no native predators in NZ and they breed like... well, rabbits. There has been huge amounts of debate, research and approaches taken to reducing their numbers, some more controversial than others (e.g. have a look at the ongoing debate around 1080 poisoning).

The introduction of a virus is not something that is done lightly here. Bear in mind that NZ has one huge advantage compared to most countries here in that the only native land mammal is a bat, so there's not a big risk of the virus spreading across to other native species (this is the reason why 1080 is effective too as it generally only kills mammals). Note that the myxomatosis virus was introduced (illegally) by farmers to NZ in 1997 and it proved pretty effective at reducing the rabbit population for the next 10 years or so, until resistance built up.
Deliberately spreading a virus on a large area may give the virus more hosts and more opportunities to mutate itself into something undesirable. The natural occurring variant only spreads via transmission on 4 legged creatures, not via crop dusters and other flying machines!

Isn't the same thing as on Youtube? You get more views, get more money.
Can you elaborate about what exactly do you mean by "anything of that changes in scope"?

If you have the same use case of private data but have technical changes (i.e. a different subcontractor handling the processing) then you do not need a new consent.

If you have a new use case, then yes, you get to use only the data of those users who agree to it. Which will not be all users anyway, as consent must be freely given, i.e. with an opportunity to refuse consent but keep the service.

The expected result of "a consent box a lengthy disclaimer will ask consent for every piece of information and blanket every length of scope" would be the TL;DR reaction - since all of that must be opt-in, the user would just click "Continue", keeping the default settings that don't give you any consent.
Looks like it's already going the way vid.me was right before it closed down (as in super meta videos talking about how great the site is). I think people underestimate just how hard it is to run a video sharing service like youtube and have a healthy community all while making money.
Sure they do, they're familiar with the design. Unless it is completely open source or has been totally reverse engineer (which I doubt) then that is an advantage.

Virtually all Economist science and technology are written to this standard. It's a good read.
For an European this feels horrible,here some people take the exams even 10 times until they pass or just give up. you must learn all the rules for driving in intersections and all other relevant rules and after that you get a test in the city with a policeman. Also before taking the exams there are a minimum number of driving lessons (I think 40 hours ) with an instructor.

What you describe can be the cause of the large number of accidents.
Unfortunately the driving lessons won't prevent the young drivers acting out and doing accidents in their first years as a driver, because of those bad young drivers you get very expensive insurance for all young drivers so some young persons would register their cars on the parents name, here the insurance is paid by the owner not by the driver.

The Ashley Madison leak has been linked to at least one suicide. But in any case, even if your data can't gravely harm someone by itself, it can when it's linked with other datasets. As the U.S. Privacy Protection Study Commission presciently wrote in their 1977 report,

"The real danger is the gradual erosion of individual liberties through the automation, integration, and interconnection of many small, separate record-keeping systems, each of which alone may seem innocuous, even benevolent, and wholly justifiable."
Yes. URSS has been very effective in the long-term manipulation of opinions and history. I am french. IMHO, May 1968 events were the consequences of this manipulated opinions. The "anti-capitalist" ideology was very present in governments between 1981 and 2007 (maybe 2017). The "anti-religious" ideology is still present.
I'm baffled as to why an obviously intelligent bunch of people take to Twitter to discuss this.
There are several grounds on which you can legally process data in addition to consent, so it is unhelpful to talk in general terms about purging data where you are not getting user consent. If you are using data to provide a service, then generally it will not a consent-based processing for example.

You have to assess each use to which you put any personal data and determine the correct processing basis for that usage. Often there are more relevant bases than consent.

I do appreciate that the definition of 'consent' in this regard is often thought of in different terms though. When I think of consent I think of the narrow data protection consent, whereas I think often in layman's terms it has a broader definition which is often linked to disclosure requirements in relation to privacy policies etc.
Web logs are not a punishable offence under the GDPR, if you have a legal basis for retaining those logs and reasonable retention and data minimisation policies. If those are in place and you've documented them, you have nothing to worry about.

Why? You have a legitimate interest (one of the six legal bases under the GDPR) to combat fraud and maintain information security. That's the primary reason you have those IPs in your logs in the first place.

If you're using those logs for analytics purposes, things get slightly murkier, but if you're just using IP addresses to enrich your log data with GeoIP, you should be fine. You might even be able to get away with more granular third-party databases, but the more detailed you get, the closer you get to profiling (which is not where you want to be, if you want to minimise your legal fees).

More to the point, I don't understand all this talk about web logs being illegal. If people have collected and processed personal data without thinking about the whys and wherefores, isn't it just a good thing this makes one think about what one is logging and what it's used for? Granted, IP addresses are far from sensitive (depending on your threat model), but I've seen things in technical logs that make me happy about reliable automated retention policies. Also, granted, it's a hassle - that's the price you pay for privacy.

I'd still be glad if nginx et al shipped with more GDPR-compatible defaults.
Sorry, the figure of 1600 cars per hour is complete and utter bullshit. If just 5 cars get through a signal on a 30 second cycle, that’s 600 cars per hour. For a single intersection. How many intersections are there in a city?

A well designed intersection can easily get 20 cars through per cycle.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of bus lanes and really a fan of light rail. But I really hate this type of hype where basic assumptions don’t pass the smell test.

And if you want to get into some real economics, a system like the LA Metro Authority operates at about 20% Fare Box Recovery. That means for every $1 of fare collected, a subsidy of $4 is required to keep the system running. At least when someone drives their own car, they are actually paying their own way.
Nothing wrong with that approach as long as the user can opt out or not display the news on start if they are not interested.

If email is important to you though, maybe consider some kind of other incentive to re-sub to the email list (or sub to it in general). Maybe you allow people to get in on new beta versions, or get premium themes or templates or something (not sure what your apps do but you might have something like that).

It also depends on your audience. A telegram channel might be good if your audience uses Telegram.
how is an "AI algorithm" going to figure out a newly uploaded video is a dupe of a Youtube video that is in the process of trending? How would you effectively contentID every single popular video on Youtube and run it against a fully distributed video platform? Just magical AI things I guess?
> You really want to charge the price that maximises your net present value.

This goes both ways. You can definitely also increase net present value by pricing higher as long as value > price. Even better would be to create segmented/dynamic pricing that would maximize value capture up and down the demand curve.

If the market pricing is apparently so inefficient that a lot of potential value on the high end isn’t being captured (in economics speak we call this the consumer surplus), then this means there is also potential for arbitrage on the high end. Clone any service and charge 4X!
Would anyone care to enlighten me as to the significance of this ?
