Yeah; industry interest groups are putting these together for basically every industry with a multi-tier supply chain. Blockchain tech is quickly taking over operations; it solves a lot of strategic problems with rent seeking and the relative value of data. Audit and compliance folks love it — smart contracts make their lives a lot easier.
I could go downtown tonight, stand on the street corner, and shout "F--- the president!" at the top of my lungs. What would happen? I might get dirty looks. I might get some people shaking my hand. And I might - might - get an angry tweet from the president. I probably would not get either arrested or beaten up. (And this isn't a political statement. I could have done the same under the previous president, with the same results except for the tweet.)

China's touchiness on these matters reveals the Communist Party's insecurity.
The problem is that the law applies to them even if they use a proxy. If they report/sue you afterwards, you might be looking at a huge amount of trouble.

Can anyone who has experience with MoltenVK discuss any potential pitfalls? (It's existed in a closed-source form for 2 years). Is it a case of loading the library and forgetting it, or will you likely need some MoltenVK-specific codepaths to use it?
Imagine the EU made a law requiring every country in the world follow their building codes whenever an EU citizen enters one of their buildings, even if the building was made before the law was created. And if you don't comply, they will fine you millions of dollars.

McDonalds goes and retrofits all of their buildings in the world because they have shops in the EU at great cost. Some pizza shop that does delivery in the USA, and the owners go on vacation once in a while in Europe? ‍️They probably are not even aware of it.

That is what the GDPR is in a nutshell.
This is exactly why the de-facto monetary policy of 2% inflation needs to be rethought.

If anything, this site has a nasty "sacrifice life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for some future concept of good" thing going on at times. I sense we'd all be packed in cities, forced to ride bicycles, eat only vegetables, be unable to reproduce without a permit, and live in massive apartment towers with 200 sq of space to save the world.

> single largest market

The EU really isn't a single large market though for most practical purposes. For the purposes of complying with regulations and accepting payment it is, but for every other practical consideration that matters to a company doing business there, it's a few dozen separate markets.

Ask HN: How do you manage your sleep schedule?
I've never needed to wake up early before at my old job but at my new one I need to start waking up at 7am. How do you manage to shift your sleep schedule?
Unfortunately not for now, while we clearly understand the need we can't afford that for now.

> In 20 years you've never started work on something and after a bit said damn it I think I'll use that library that other guy developed?

I can't speak for him and I don't know about you, but while deciding whether I would start to work on something, I'm actually deciding if I'm capable of doing it and looking at all the pieces needed to do it. I'm not starting work until I know I have all the pieces in place. Sometimes I may doubt that some piece is missing or might be hard to do, so I make a very small prototype of that system only (this usually takes a couple of hours tops). Once I make a decision and start working, I never go back.

Just like him, I have never regretted doing it myself, but have regretted using another developer's library many times.
Putting together this list made me realise how much is not just language, but language + framework / language + architectural pattern.

* Ruby (coupled very strongly with Rails). Around 2007 in particular

* JavaScript when nodejs started becoming a thing, and microservices. The hype!

* Nim

* Clojure(script) went through it on HN, though I could see some of the reasons why it did (and it was muted)

* Can't speak about the functional languages as I've yet to grasp them.
I hope that in my lifetime we see a revolution in China that overthrows the current authoritarian state and things like the great firewall and quasi-private/state run agencies go the way of the dodo bird.

Unfortunately I don't see big American companies doing anything but continuing to court China and their growing class of wealthy consumers.
Let's say you're a business in the EU that needs a sales management system. In it, you store personal data of your clients. You are considered a "controller"; the SaaS sales management system (that will store this data for you) is considered a "processor."

GDPR states that to remain compliant, Controllers must only use GDPR-compliant Processors.[1]

Assuming that EU startups will take GDPR more seriously than non-EU companies (a safe assumption judging from the posts here on HN), non-tech EU companies (Controllers) will tend to gravitate towards EU tech companies (Processors) to ensure they remain compliant.

It is non-EU (primarily US) tech companies' game to lose. If US tech companies get a reputation for not caring about GDPR, there could be a real sea-change in EU buying behavior.

[1] Article 28, paragraph 1: "Where processing is to be carried out on behalf of a controller, the controller shall use only processors providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that processing will meet the requirements of this Regulation and ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject."
I have one Chinese friend who employs a double entendre, calling him "Xitler"

In all seriousness, this is a black period for Chinese people and China's neighbors. The fledgling democracy in Hong Kong, and democratic nations around China's periphery including Taiwan, Japan, Nepal, and India should be very wary dealing with a strongman who will stop at nothing to further his power and nationalism-focused legacy.
Consider food allergies -- I used to suffer from canker sores and then accidentally stopped drinking milk for 6 months (moved to a place where it wasn't available) and voila they disappeared!

(I didn't actually notice that they had disappeared until I returned to milk-land, and they came back. Took another month or so to establish the link clearly, since there was 3-4 day delay between drinking milk and appearance of canker sores. Then it took another couple of years to alter my habits ...)
Meh. In the 1990s I was active on a Usenet newsgroup for a science field. Initially, it was mainly academics who participated (and a few interested laymen like myself). But then the group began to attract cranks – and obviously mentally ill people – who claimed that they had all the answers and mainstream scientists were wrong. These cranks would post all day, every day, poking their nose into every thread, and eventually they drowned out most other discussions in the group.

Killfiles didn’t seem to work. Even if you blocked a crackpot, one of the non-crackpots would still stupidly respond to him – a lot of people never understood “Don’t feed the trolls”. So you’d click on a post only to find out the discussion was people pointlessly trying to argue with the crackpot. The crackpot’s own posts might have been hidden, but everyone just quoted his posts in their own replies anyway.

A few years ago, after someone somewhere claimed, like you, that Usenet is still healthy, I had a look back at the group to see what it was like: still dominated by those same crackpots.
Remove everything and then let a merciful Xi Jinping give a little semblance of freedom back. The Chinese will be cheering his name in the street!

I am new to Typescript, but I don't quite see why and how it hurts at the end. He defines two interfaces that are not implemented in any classes, so those interfaces don't do anything to the actual program yet. I guess it is safe for Typescript to produce no code. Any specific scenario this will be problematic?

From the outside looking in it seems like Xi has been doing a great job leading China. Are there any serious contenders for Chinese leadership like Navalny in Russia?

Not to mention that historically there have been many excellent leaders who rules for decades. An arbitrary term limit can be useful to prevent corruption, but it's also the reason for the fiasco that is Washington in 2018.

I'm curious, do you literally get 50 cents for each of these posts, or are you salaried?
That's basically the same thing as using an interface. An interface is just a more formal way of declaring it.
Yes. Flash was made click to play by default and all seemed to be fine, then we got HTML5 video. I still can't manage to block some videos on popular news sites from autoplaying each time I visit an article page. Even with media.autoplay.enabled set to FALSE in Firefox's configuration.

>Freight brokers and third-party logistics companies (“3PLs”) are first-class citizens in Shipwell’s platform, which sets us apart from other startups in the space that are actively trying to disrupt them.

This is an important differentiator. Many other freight network startups have failed because they couldn't get the supply/demand flywheel turning fast enough. Integrating with existing carrier networks means you won't undercut them on price, but you can compete on convenience for shippers.
I have managed to quit smoking in my fourth attempt. It's been nine years. Being able to work uninterrupted with an urge to smoke and deciding my breaks with my own free will motivated me. This was not the reason for me to quit, but it helped a lot.
It comes down to unknown unknowns. Should I poll my supervisor/co-worker about every problem to see if there is already a solution? As the new guy, I have no idea who or what I should poll people about.

The second problem is that people will keep stuff hidden. Have that sweet script that creates 1000 users for testing? You might share it with the team, you might also think its too trivial to bother sharing.

That being said, I can see how it can be frustrating. We have packages upon packages of existing functionality, languishing somewhere in source control, used maybe only once. In the meantime, someone is going through the cycle, not only of ignoring what someone put on gitub, but what has already been tested and qa'd by their own company.
If you disable JS you won't need any ad blockers and you will be surprised how faster the sites will load (if some sites are still not fast enough, try disabling web fonts; they are heavy and block rendering, but sadly Chrome doesn't allow to block them on per-site basis).
EEG-Based Pattern Analysis and Image Reconstruction
No one is forcing you to follow it, but I suspect this is just the begining, GDPR is comming from EU due to history reasons, Europe has a lot of bad memories about keeping lists and tracking users. From Nazis to Stasi, USSR and so on and on. What is today done by google, fb, twitter is a light years ahead of that. Try to understand that GDPR is not something bad, it is rasing credibility for your bussiness and is doing something right. I bet a lot of, lets say, USA cityzens will value text "we are GDPR compliant for whole world" on web site. It is oportunity that Backblaze grabbed and soon sites that don't follow it will be on fishy side of the internet. And I also believe, a lot of non EU contries will adapt similar laws, the attack on privacy has gone too far, don't blame EU, blame ggl and fb.

Personally, the reason I don't run out and replace all my existing incandescents is because I don't want to waste perfectly good bulbs; I would rather for them to reach EOL and then replace. The energy used to create a good is usually significantly more than the energy the good itself uses. I'm OK paying a little more for the energy used by the incandescents when it's overall less wasteful.

If US companies are made unable to operate within the law in Europe, I wonder if this could lead to Europe growing its own alternative Internet service ecosystem just as Russia and China have each done. Given that the likes of Yandex and Baidu are not at all popular in the US, I think the threat of reciprocation by other countries is low, but the threat of economic damage due to alienating the Eurozone is high.
> The U.S. government, on the other hand, dismisses these concerns, noting that when served with a warrant, Microsoft could, by tapping a few keys, transfer the information back to the U.S. from the stored data center in Ireland, thus avoiding international complications.

There could be sensors placed at the intersection that could broadcast information about pedestrians to approaching cars. If a car cannot accept those signals, not compatible etc, it must stop, if it can, then it can include that data in it's decision process. We have offline tools like this currently with mirrors in garages, and blinking signs when a light will be red if on a fast moving highway.

It's hard to make a GUI toolkit that doesn't cater to a specific language. All languages have paradigms that they follow, and toolkits that are language agnostic just end up feeling out-of-place on all languages rather than all but one.

You mean they don't allow rich solar panel owners to get their grid battery subsidized by poor folks who lack the capital for their own solar?

This is a good thing. No power company should be forced to pay retail for power. It is a regressive tax on those that can least afford it. I don't think it was inappropriate to offer to get the industry off the ground, but it's quickly approaching the time to do away those subsidies - especially those that come directly from other rate-payers.
The people willing to widely share their opinions aren't always the same people whose opinions matter when it comes to actually making decisions.

I have been through a number of GDPR resources and seminars and I am still of the opinion that there is nothing in it to worry people who are acting in good faith with their customers data. The organisations fined under existing laws seem to have been breathtakingly negligent or just deliberately callous.
Why not? You keep up to date, experiencing world-class hiring process and its requirements (IMO FB's hiring process is the best I've ever experienced, Google's feels one level down), you meet interesting people you might later work together on something cool either there or at another company, you visit interesting places, get some inspirations for your own businesses, interviews might be also a lot of fun (one interview I had at FB was an hour of one-joke-after-another while discussing/inventing architecture of some scalable system; imagine Cryptotinder which is a joke on its own) etc.
Actually a jerk walking may kill you and your kid...its called "mugging" which can happen when you walk places, and which really can't happen easily if you are in a car. And there are many areas in an average city where it's completely unsafe to walk in.

The MacBook 12" was introduced in April 2015, nearly three years ago, with just one USB-C port and a stereo jack. Nonetheless, USB-C devices have been introduced in a glacial pace (I bought a 12" at the end of 2015 and there was still almost no useful USB-C accessory available).

We'll eventually get there and I agree that things will be messy for a while, with USB2-only USB-C charging cables, MacBook Pros that support Thunderbolt over USB-C, MacBooks that don't support Thunderbolt over USB-C, etc.

(I do like the plug though, it's reversible and compact.)

While this article is interesting, I strongly encourage anyone - from CEOs, to managers, to individual developers - to actually read the text of the GDPR.

This is not written in unintelligible legal-ese. It is very approachable, understandable by a layman, and organized such that relevant Articles are easy to find.

It might take an hour or two, yet may have a fundamental impact on how you approach your job for the foreseeable future. Time very well spent.

Here is an accessible version of it: https://gdpr-info.eu/

EDIT: for clarity, that site is accessible from an organizational point of view (i.e., broken out by articles, not one long string of text). I do not know if it is accessible by screen readers or alternate input devices.
How is it that the Jevons paradox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox) hasn't been mentioned even once in this thread.
And that just encourages development of an automatic switching system such that power generated on site is always used on site. It never goes out to the grid until after 100% of local demand is met, and all local storage devices are topped up.

And that, in turn, would encourage those customers to just go completely independent from the grid and either find some other flexible use for excess power or shut down excess production.

Pretending that local power is using grid infrastructure does not make it so. People can and will disconnect from the grid to disprove that lie.

It's amazing to me how China is so effectively creating a 1984-type situation without much stir among the rest of the world. These chat programs are super important for everyday life in China. The same company that provides chatting also provides your ability to pay for everything, and a credit score that determines what you can buy, how much you pay, and more. So if you say something you shouldn't, this could very easily be something where your entire life is destroyed. If they choose, these ultimately government controlled companies can easily make it so you can't buy things anymore, you are not trusted anywhere, and even your friends all disconnect with you because your bad score could affect theirs.

Pretty scary.

There are probably more historical examples of not-so-excellent (incompetent, evil, tyrannical, etc) leaders ruling for decades than excellent ones. The problem with tyranny is that the only way out is revolution. You may have an excellent dictator for decades, but then he dies and his son/crony/not-so-excellent replacement arrives for the next N decades...

At least with Trump there are a variety of strategies besides bloodshed to get rid of him if people decide they don't like him.
