This has nothing to with different legal systems or administrative philosophies but is all about politics.

Europe, Germany and France in particular, has a strong history of state involvement in large corporations.

I suppose you could call that an administrative philosophy. To me it sounds like another form of corruption.
The idea that people with adhd and without it respond differently to speed is utter nonsense, since there is no way to diagnose what adhd is.
Another note is that body weight does not necessarily correlate to drug potency/dosage. Only in some drugs (like alcohol) does body weight make a difference.

Yup, this board is full of JWT hate mostly predicated on the fact that it can be done wrong. Just use a random token as a session ID. Wrap in cookie for browser users and use browser session cookie expiration. Wrap in JWT and sign an expiration date in there for API use...no other state needed, use token to look up actual valuable state on server side as necessary. Expire them server side too based on application re-login requirements to prevent reuse (or sign your cookies w/ an expiration date like you do with JWT...but I always keep session tokens and expire them on the server side too for various reasons including auditing purposes).
Why don't they point out others and cooperate with EU to stop this practice altogether then?
It doesn't. And it is a mistake to take ethics for granted and think of it as a norm because the majority of people, including those who govern and implement businesses make unethical things every day. I hope this might change once but for today the only constructive strategy is to accept this fact and defend yourselves.

> In the case of 'dependency injection' which to the best of my knowledge is just 'passing in data to the constructor'

Not quite, it's passing dependencies (structural ones, like a logger or a database connection) to the constructor. If you're passing data in via a dependency injector then something has gone terribly wrong. Before dependency injection was common creating these dependencies was typically handled by either a factory or created inline, the biggest issues this create was difficulty to test and difficulty to scope. DI handles these well, at the cost of reflection magic and occasionally harder traceability.

So yes, I've drunk the cool aid on DI. Lately however I've been getting back into c which obviously lacks a lot of features conducive to unit testing and DI which, but so far I've been able to get similar results from a few macros. So while I still like/use DI when I'm working with c#, I think we've gone wrong at some level, we should be able to write tests without adding so much indirection everywhere.
I think its great VCs are expanding their worldview. I think there are definitely good investment opps outside of SV. I think its a stretch to say SV is over. Yes living expenses and salaries are crazy but there is a success network here that is reinforcing. In order for SV to be over it would take a new annoited tech hub, like we saw SF do recently. Many companies and jobs moved up from SV to SF. Saying there are now 100 smaller tech hubs in the Midwest South etc does nothing to combat SVs network effect. It is still the densest (albeit most costly). So much of the new talent and entrepreneurs will naturally flock there to maximize their chance of success.

That’s so ridiculous. As someone who spent a lot of time in the rave scene— people respond to different dosages and settings in wildly different ways. Just because you did meth and wanted to chill and talk for a bit instead of go out dancing, that doesn’t mean you have adhd. You give ‘anybody’ speed and they’ll go on an apartment cleaning spree or just do homework on the right day, with the right dose.

I would argue that there's also another issue at play in this particular topic, or trope. We've created this weird dichotomy in society where people pretend that children must choose if they want to be a 'math nerd' or a 'jock.' I'm not really sure that comes from and it's never been my experience. I competed in mathematics events at a national level, was on the chess club, and also wrestled varsity and enjoy weight training. And I never experienced anything except friendliness and respect, even as a certainly somewhat weird 'outsider' having swapped schools multiple times.

The ancient Greeks, who helped develop much of the foundation of modern technology and society, emphasized the relevance of strength in mind and body, and I think that's something that we've increasingly lost. And that's ironic since if you look at many examples of stereotypically 'mental' enterprises, you'll find people who follow this tend to populate the top. Imagine, if you don't know, what the chess world champion must look like. He earned his grandmaster title at 13 years old, and has been playing seriously since he was a child. Here [1] is a picture of him, Magnus Carlsen.

I think that's a fair point, and I completely agree that the emissions scandals were horribly handled by the EU. For the record though, Germany actually did an arguably better job than the EU commision (actually doing investigations into the fraud and raiding several car companies), while the EU appears to have done very little.

But neither have not done as well as Switzerland (banning VW diesel cars entirely), South Korea (criminal case against VW executives), Netherlands (class action and investigating the reacquisition of the subsidies paid to VW previously), Australia (forced recalls and class action lawsuits), or America (as you've already mentioned).

I don't know whether the car industry is the best example of "EU interventionism" done right, given how central the car industry is to Europe's enconomy (which is a whole different issue). I'm not sure whether they would've treated non-EU companies differently.
I suppose US could tax those non-US users so that using fb would cost them something.... Oh wait...
My point re aws is that aws is way more expensive than data center space and hardware; if you have someone competent and inexpensive in the midwest to handle the datacenter/hardware stuff, it makes sense to move off of aws much sooner than in the bay area, where people to manage the hardware side of things are going to cost you a whole lot.

> But did they do the right thing by participating in a court that has no jurisdiction?

Good question - I was wondering myself. What's stopping them from simply ignoring the ruling and walking away? It's certainly not Project Gutenberg's obligation to carry out a block ordered by a country they don't do any business in. And if anyone thinks it is, does that still apply if the court isn't a german one, but instead one from...let's say...the faroer islands? Nobody would care and I don't see why Project Gutenberg should in this case.
Not sure the particulars of your friend's situation, but some slot machines have a Jackpot that increases in value the longer it hasn't paid out.

I worked at an after school program for youth and there were children fewer than ten years old being diagnosed with ADHD which I believe has "adult" in the name. I don't think age 10 or any age before then is a meaningful time to diagnose, but mom did not complain because he was more calm and less of a frantic chaotic child (one of three) while she worked full time. Quite sad, yet I see the temptation for parents as well.

Eight Years On, Google Fiber Is a Faint Echo of the Disruption Promised
If you want more information than can be given by a comment from a friendly stranger, I’d suggest reading “How to Be an Imperfectionist” by Stephen Guise. Although I’d assume that most of the advice in this book is obvious to most people, for a “perfectionist” like me, it helped me to unravel my illogical views of success and personal expectations that I had built over the course of my life.

"Generic ideological tangent" isn't an arbitrary construct; it's as well-defined as the other moderation concepts we work with (e.g. "civility", "substantiveness"). If not more so.

Such discussions are off topic for a reason: they are repetitive. Worse, they turn into flamewars (case in point, see the replies to my comment downthread). This is emphatically not what HN is for. The value of this site—intellectual curiosity—withers under repetition and dies under attack.

Take a look at the comments through the search link I posted. There's a long history there. If you then still don't understand why we're doing this, I'd be happy to discuss it further (but you'll probably need to email hn@ycombinator.com).

It is certainly possible to "tip over fighting", as you describe it.

History is filled with people who fought for a just cause, only to then turn around and become unjust themselves (IIRC from history, the french were really good at it).

It doesn't matter how much of the way you got and how much of it has yet to be walked, it's completely irrelevant to "becoming the monster".
These three concepts are largely orthogonal, but pair well.

Cookies are a state management system for HTTP, which is normally stateless. Rather than representing state via data embedded in the URL or requiring intelligence in the HTTP stack to represent that state in application-specific headers, Cookies allow the server to set state on a response which will be returned on subsequent requests. The browser doesn't need any special rules behind the generic cookie retention rules.

Cookies can be used for any sort of state, but in this context you probably care about authentication/authorization state.
Nearly every website which uses a web-based authentication flow (including OAuth and OpenID Connect) winds up using cookies to track authentication state.

OAuth is a HTTP-based framework for providing delegated authorization. Rather than sharing user credentials with every piece of code which may want to access resources associated with a user, the Authorization Service handles authentication as well as user consent to let a client act on their behalf. While there are several flows to account for different application requirements, this eventually results in an access token, a usually time-limited value which represents access to just the capabilities the user consented.

Facebook, Microsoft, and Google all use variants of OAuth to share user authentication as well as provide access to user information and API access to user accounts. There are challenges to OAuth interoperability, with many deployments adding additional capabilities outside the specification (such as representing user authentication). Facebook has their own extensions, while Microsoft and Google support the more standardized OpenID Connect as a interoperable profile.

Since the access token is state, there is nothing forbidding it from being set as a cookie. However, anyone who can get this token can perform actions as the user (bad) as your application (from a purely selfish perspective, worse). Many server-side web applications which store access tokens will either store them in a database and reference the row in a cookie, or store them in an encrypted cookie to prevent them from being extracted and used externally. One way to store such data in an encrypted cookie is via a JWT.

A JSON Web Token is a data format defined by the OAuth working group. Access tokens are really messages for the "Protected Resources" in OAuth parlance - typically API endpoints. However, the core specification did not define any format for these values, leaving them deployment-specific. JWT was an attempt to provide a good recommendation for the format, and was also designed to be leveraged by OpenID Connect (which both extend core OAuth with new functionality and provide an interoperable profile of usage).

It is typical that since security is hard, formats that take security into account (such as JWT) wind up getting both overused and oversold. People want to be able to say things like "our authentication is secure because we use JWTs", but instead statements like that are usually a red flag that the system was implemented by people who did not understand the overall security requirements.
> necessary for you to speak in probabilities and not certainties?

You're replying to a person who is specifically referencing group stats and not in a deterministic way.

Here's one extreme statement:

- There is no such thing as race, in that E(X | race) = E(X) for all X that we care about

Here's another extreme statement:

- Race biologically determines your fate, e.g. E(X | race + C) = E(X | race) for any 'other information' C

Both statements as wrong. As usual, the truth is somewhere in between.

Even if you don't think that 'race' is the most salient metric, it doesn't help that our culture sometimes seems to willfully conflate culture, religion, ethnicity, and race in the most uncharitable possible way.

Eg. if you say something bad about Islam itself as a religion, one often finds themselves accused of implicit racism—and this is accusation is determined by seeing that one group of people of a certain 'race' seems to follow that religion more, so if you criticize a religion, you must be intending to attack that group of people.

It's hard to understand without it.

You posted a well-worn ideological trope. HN is no place for those. If it helps, that's not because we're communists. We moderate the same way when people want to drag in "property is theft" or any of the other dead horses.

Such arguments are always the same and only interest a small minority of HN users who want to yell at each other while calling it "ideas". These threads get dumber and nastier as they grow, and drown out the quieter, thoughtful things we actually do want here. Therefore we have to moderate them. Intellectual curiosity is a fragile thing, like a garden that needs protecting from off-road vehicles.

Perhaps you're the rare person who really has something original to say about political ideologies, and I missed that in your HN comments. In that case I'm sorry for misinterpreting you. Nevertheless an internet forum is not the medium for such ideas—even if you're deep and original, others won't be, and the space is too constrained for all but shallow comments on grand topics. So if that's the case, you should write a book instead.

Example of GDPR compliance from PayPal?
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 9 in the 3rd grade. My mother, who had a Masters in Early Childhood Education, brought me to a psychiatrist over the objections of my father.

25 years later I’m so glad she did and I’ve benefitted enormously. Ultimately I wound up with a combination of a stimulant medicine and a low dose anti-seizure medicine to take some of the edge off the stimulant (speaking fast, jumpy, etc).

In the end, the experience has made me much more of a believer in psychiatry than psychotherapy. I never benefitted from that the few times psychiatrist I’ve had have requested me take it. If anything, going to confession / mass has helped more in the “non-medicine” stuff you can do.

> Can anyone explain how these tools are better than email?

Communication tools exist along multiple axes of effort, permanence, content-bandwidth, and discoverability.

A conversation takes little effort, is high content-bandwidth (body language, tone, whiteboarding, pointing, etc), but is impossible to discover for others and is impermanent. A formal specification is more permanent, and more discoverable, but has a bit less content-bandwidth and is a high effort activity. Old school SMSs are low-effort and permanent, but not discoverable and prone to confusion because of low content-bandwidth.

Email is kinda 'middle of the tree' all round. It's primary failing for the Entperise is the point-to-point nature of discussion (removing the ability for third parties to discover it). This can be mitigated with use of appropriate groups or tools (internal mailing lists, Sharepoint-ish blobs), but that's a challenge in and of itself...

So how is Slack better than Email? It's better in the way my cheese knife is better than my bread knife. And Slack is as much a threat to email as my cheese knife is to my bread knife... They are complimentary tools that address slightly different needs on a related spectrum, and will be painful if misapplied to the wrong problems. I can cut cheese with a bread knife, I can cut bread with a cheese knife. I can make Slack my total communication system, I can pretend that email is enough ;)

Right tool for the job, don't do dumb things, and if you can't figure out how immature use of a pling-pling-pling-pling-pling chat system is gonna wreck your day-to-day work experience... ... I assume we have worked together before and you were in charge of choosing the internal communication system...
