I just commonly see users get mad at "advertisers" when in cases like this, advertisers aren't involved at all. Not to say they don't carry some blame, but its blackhats doing the major wrong.

Advertisers and publishers should pressure ad networks and browsers to do a better job fighting fraud though.

Thanks for the information! After reading the abstracts, I still have two question.

1. It sounds like the mechanism for killing cells is very general. Why do histatins not attack somatic cells?

2. Do mouth wounds simply heal faster because the mouth is cleaner?
You just need to look one or two pages in to see why DART, and therefore Flutter is a waste of time.

Here is how we make an HTTP request in react-native:

fetch('https://facebook.github.io/react-native/movies.json');

And here is how we do it in Flutter:

import 'dart:io';

var url = 'https://httpbin.org/ip';
var httpClient = new HttpClient();

await httpClient.getUrl(Uri.parse(url));

Why does the HTTP package need to be imported? Every single mobile app worth its salt makes HTTP requests, I shouldn't have to think about importing it, this is just more yak-shaving. And parsing a url to an URI? Fuck off fake-Java, just let me tell you the damn location of my resource, I don't care about the leaky abstraction of URIs.

Sure, I could write a wrapper and create myself a helper method. So could 100,000 other developers. Why not just include first-class functionality out of the box? The further I go into Dart, the more I realize it's just a slimmer java. I don't want slimmer java, I want better javascript. (And don't go asking your most experienced, most technical developers what "Better" means. Go and ask the thousands of shitty developers who barely have a handle on it, my coworkers still have trouble with "this" for godsakes).
Author here,

I wrote Robinhood for desktop out of the necessity of staying up to date with my Robinhood investments.

It's open source - https://github.com/sagivo/StockStalk

Like you, I spend most of my day in front of a computer and I need a quick way to see how my Robinhood portfolio is doing.

StockStalk will show you your status on the mac bar (green/red) and click on the tray will show you how each stock is doing. I also plan to allow buy and sell directly within the app. This way there is no need to check your phone all the time and get notified via desktop notifications on sharp changes. At the moment I have a mac version but windows&linux are coming soon.

Important to notice that no sensitive information is sent to anywhere. the credentials are all stored locally and sync directly with Robinhood API.

Take a look and tell me what you think. Hope you'll find it useful as it's for me.

The realistic consequences would probably be the following:

1) When you grow sufficiently large to go global, it will suddenly start to matter a lot, as EU is one of the largest markets worldwide. In the best case scenario you'd have to change your processes and systems to comply (i.e. you'd have technical debt which you could've avoided if you did it properly in the first place); in the worst case you'd have some complaints from EU users resulting in fines that aren't enforced yet but would be as soon as you'd want to actually get money from EU. This would be a meaningful impact to your valuation at that point.

2) As the risks implied in the first part have an impact on your valuation if you succeed and go global (which is the only scenario that matters to investors, the exit valuation about which they're thinking), you'd expect this compliance to be included in the due diligence done by series B/C investors and any acquisitions; if you've made no effort to comply, this will result in a lower valuation in those rounds of funding.

If you're a high-growth startup whose valuation is not based on current revenue but on the (long) future market size and you declare that you're choosing to be incompatible with, say, 25% of the global market (to a very rough approximation, EU revenue share is something like that for many major tech companies), then investors will discount your future value (and thus current value) by 25%. So at the very least this is something that you should have on your roadmap for investors i.e. "we're planning to do that diligence and related work in quarter X after we've done A, B and C" instead of simply ignoring the issue.
TVA has essentially made home solar financially untenable in the areas they serve. If you want to use grid tie solar, you must sell all the electricity you generate to TVA at wholesale cost and buy it back at retail.

Based on a pretty thorough bit of search I can confidently say that no small (or even mid sized) US company has ever been fined or any executives detained or extradited because of breaking an EU law that would have not normally resulted in a criminal conviction.

The EU tends to go after the larger entities and tends to fine rather than arrest.
American engineer building a bridge or tunnel in EU is certainly going to know EU regulations. An EE designing circuits for EU needs to know about lead-free solder requirements. On the other side, Mies van der Rohe needed to work with a US-certified architect to build the Seagrams.

Having been in the software industry for a while, it is often discouraging to see how both explicitly and often inadvertently move-fast-and-break-things has resulted in some pretty bad software industry wide.

Just look at the sense of most of the comments here--there seems to be a consensus of how to get around this, or how it doesn't apply to me.

I'm imaging a Probability Zero or Black Mirror short where Facebook insists some scammer is using your face and attempts to shut them down. They are unable to log into services because they used Facebook login for convenience. In the end, it turns out the imposter randomly had an identical face and was perhaps a long list twin.
This is very similar in spirit to https://github.com/rougier/numpy-100/blob/master/100%20Numpy.... In fact, now that I look at it a bit more, it seems like all of this post's examples are reworded versions of Nicolas Rougier's "numpy 100"...
Not just “gun”; “pistol” also works. Funny interaction with their matching / DWIM logic is that a query for “water pistol” returns no results, but “water pistil” returns lots of water pistols.
Using stimulants like Adderall is not mutually exclusive with this ideal.

I've known engineers who do exactly this. They plan out what they're working on minimally and architect it out in the best and most simple way possible. When it comes time to write code, they take their prescribed stimulants and they work.

I think this is notification is sort of the opposite of what people think it is.

Facebook has had facial recognition and tag suggestions based on facial recognition for a long time. For example this [1] article from June 2017 explains how to turn it off.

This new notification is about a global on/off switch that disable all facial recognition, because Facebook is going to start doing more than tag suggestions with facial recognition [2][3]. For example they are trying to detect when people are impersonating you online.

The global face recognition setting defaulted to off for me, probably because I had tag suggestions disabled already.

This is not arbitrary. There is a clear upside: the ability to quickly find all pictures of a person, either by that person themselves or by other people. The benefit provided by this feature has to be weighed against its potential for harm in order to decide whether it is a permissible use of technology or not.

To be honest, facebook should have gathered consent in a GDPR-compliant way: opt-in. But IMHO the feature isn't bad in and of itself. Even recognizing people not on facebook isn't necessarily wrong, as long as facebook isn't building a profile of that person (but merely doing the equivalent of recognizing bananas in all of someone's pictures so they can do a search for banana.)

But given the value provided by the feature, again I ask: what is the harm you're afraid of?
One more interesting thought. If you are using ad provider/tracker/data reseler X/... located in USA which is GDPR compliant and is doing bussiness with EU, and you are feeding them with toxic information you didn't get consent for, the EU can pick on them. As you have damaged their bussiness they can sue you. In USA.
To further emphasize your point You could encrypt everything and still be wildly GDPR non-compliant, we need to be able to respond to a request by each and every individual user to delete the information that they no longer wish us to carry.

This is very useful for high-resolution cameras, and even more so for high frame rate video shooting. No need for compression, just dump raw frames on the card.
Yeah, basically. If you were to hitch a ride on this particle, those 215,000 years would go in a flash (basically, how much time it takes light to travel a centimeter). Wherever your final destination was, you would have aged a few fractions of a second but you just traveled nearly 215,000 light years.

This is very true.

In Seattle, the local utility raised rates too aggressively, which caused many people to conserve more energy or switch to gas for heating. Then, the utility had to raise rates again to make up for falling revenue. This, obviously, will cause further conservation by consumers.

This is the start of a death cycle.

It's sad from an environmental standpoint, because in Seattle most of our power is hydro, which is much better for the environment than natural gas -- but that's what people are moving to.

There are also blockchain style social networks such as steem that create things that are like reddit: https://steem.io / https://steemit.com . Again, freeform public text blobs that can have private info.

If you create any censorship resistant publishing software, lets say to report on human rights violations in some sort of dictatorship, you also create something that can be used to violate the GDPR.

Related: How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts for Strategic Distraction, not Engaged Argument (PDF)

>The Chinese government has long been suspected of hiring as many as 2,000,000 people to surreptitiously insert huge numbers of pseudonymous and other deceptive writings into the stream of real social media posts, as if they were the genuine opinions of ordinary people. Many academics, and most journalists and activists, claim that these so-called “50c party” posts vociferously argue for the government’s side in political and policy debates. As we show, this is also true of the vast majority of posts openly accused on social media of being 50c. Yet, almost no systematic empirical evidence exists for this claim, or, more importantly, for the Chinese regime’s strategic objective in pursuing this activity. In the first large scale empirical analysis of this operation, we show how to identify the secretive authors of these posts, the posts written by them, and their content. We estimate that the government fabricates and posts about 448 million social media comments a year. In contrast to prior claims, we show that the Chinese regime’s strategy is to avoid arguing with skeptics of the party and the government, and to not even discuss controversial issues. We show that the goal of this massive secretive operation is instead to distract the public and change the subject, as most of the these posts involve cheerleading for China, the revolutionary history of the Communist Party, or other symbols of the regime. We discuss how these results fit with what is known about the Chinese censorship program, and suggest how they may change our broader theoretical understanding of “common knowledge” and information control in authoritarian regimes.

Yeah, sorry; I said "real estate" when what I should probably have said was "Physical ownership and plant maintenance."

Owning and operating a datacenter is a whole kettle of fish that they don't want to get into if they don't need to. The real estate taxes (wherever they set it up) will matter, but the larger costs are likely to be in day-to-day operation, upgrading and maintaining hardware (and the entire process for that), dealing with actual natural disasters like a flood (or a bird flying into a transformer house and blowing power to N% of the datacenter, which means they need a backup generator, which means they need to test and maintain the backup generator, etc., etc.).

There's definitely a break-point where it's cheaper to pay someone else (in Apple's case, multiple someone-else's) to deal with that hassle.
> There is a clear upside: the ability to quickly find all pictures of a person, either by that person themselves or by other people.

That's not a benefit to me.

> But given the value provided by the feature, again I ask: what is the harm you're afraid of?

You're stuck. It's kind of annoying when you ask someone a question, they give you an answer and then you repeat the question again. Either you're going to have to live with my answer or you're going to have to live with not getting the answer that you want.

BTW, I find it hilarious to be lectured by you on HN where your profile is as good as anonymous and mine is stating exactly who I am and where I live.

What are you afraid of?
And because you don't notice your PC infected by botnet s/w, does that mean you can expect to get a free pass from spam filters? Ad networks operate for profit, they are not charities, therefore they should invest the effort to secure their systems if they want what little goodwill that remains to not evaporate.
I came here to ask the question: Do I need to use Dart? And it looks like the answer is yes. That means Flutter is not a GUI toolkit as advertise "Flutter is Google's new mobile UI framework". Nope, Flutter is the gui component of a new language. As mobile devices get bigger - big phones, tablets, pixel thingies or whatever - it'd be nice to port existing software to them. But that means we need a GUI toolkit, not a new language.

For example, whatever Google's new Fuchsia OS is going to run on, they use flutter. Is every app for the OS supposed to be written in Dart? If so screw that. It's been tried with Java (Android), Objective C (Apple), Swift (Apple), Javascript (Web), Visual Basic (not really, but MS). And while it's not always the only choice on a platform, each of these was the preferred language. People have to stop telling programmers what language to use. If you want to make yet another GUI toolkit then go right ahead, solve the issues that other toolkits had, but remember NOT being language agnostic has been an issue with many of them.
Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress
Back in the 1980's, Amory Lovins, of the Rocky Mountain Institute, would say that the easiest way to "expand" energy production by 25%, was to deploy existing high-efficiency technology.

I saw him present with the head of a power company in Iowa. As they said, one might think this was bad news for the power company and that they would fight it -- more power equals more revenue. However, some of that power is very expensive power with low margins -- quick but costly production to meet demand peaks.

With deployment of high efficiency devices, those peaks declined. Other means of shifting consumption, such as "cooling rooms" that run at night, building ice or other thermal sinks to drive cooling during the daytime, also helped.

The utility had lower absolute demand, but flatter demand for which they could better plan and produce, at lower production cost. So, the efficiency push ended up being a plus for the utility. They were busy distributing then-new compact fluorescent bulbs and the like, as part of public outreach.

We don't face the exact same scenario, now. But, institutions can either get with the program, or get left behind.

(Or, they can try to "capture" and monopolize the system. Such as the Koch brothers with their "clean coal" and all; not wanting to lose their sunk costs and anticipated earnings.)

One thing I don't support, is the existing entities that have dragged their feet also using their assets and momentum to take over the... "next generation" energy system. I'd rather limit the perpetuation of their mindset and behavior. Some conservatism, especially in large, essentially public and critical endeavors, is good. Distorting same to meet personal goals, is not.
Years ago somebody explained to me the same here in Germany and I was shocked that they allow crooked laws like this.
Amazes me that nobody seems to have noted (so far) that making a bed/sleeping nest is common behaviour among all the great apes. e.g. Mountain Gorillas make an elaborate (fresh) nest each night, covering themselves with some of the bedding preparatory to sleep. So why would humans be an exception?

There seems to me to be something much more deeply wired in us than has so far been suggested.
Facebook's literal book of faces will be used by law enforcement to establish/verify alibi, establish/verify presence at the scene of a crime, etc.

I wonder if it's because we're afraid of what 'cured' means. I know to some people who are mild on the spectrum their autism could be a source of strength and wonder. I would be remiss to say that if my daughter can tend to herself and lead an enriched life that to me is 'cured' she could still be autistic but she could talk and if someone touched her inappropriately or if she was in pain she'd be able to tell me... that to me be is at least in a step in the right direction.

Visit a group home and it's one of the hardest areas to see. Young autistic adults incessantly masterbating, covered in bruises, unable to use a bathroom etc. Yet they are still intelligent and are self-aware. That to me is the hardest pill to swallow.

Right now treatments are being tested with umbilical cord tissue originated stem cells that are extremely promising. My daughter participated at one study at Duke and went from 0 words to a little over 100. Her ATEC score dropped from 120+ to around 70. However I fear this valuable research will die if we start normalizing autism or other mental illness as something we just 'deal with'

I've read Neurotribes and I can understand the argument but there's rehabilitation and I think the metaphor around a prosthesis is very accurate.
