The recent Nosal cases seem relevant, since they were specifically about an employee violating the internal computer policy, and the government arguing that violated the CFAA. After some rounds and a divided court, the Ninth Circuit reviewed it en banc and decided against the government: https://www.wilmerhale.com/pages/publicationsandnewsdetail.a...

The SCOTUS refused to hear the appeal, but since the Ninth has jurisdiction over California, it seems fairly secure. But IANAL either.
Agree got one. A wider wheelbase of the car, lower center of gravity, and wheels 50mm-100mm wider will help keeping it from tipping over. I have a seatbelt but like a few pointed out that might make the car more dangerous without a roll cage. Both are taken into consideration now.

Ask HN: How to Write a GPDR Subject Data Access Request
With GPDR around the corner, what is the appropriate procedure to request data access from companies?
I have made the experience that with a lot of these types of requests, using email or website-based contact forms will not yield an answer. On the other hand, I'm not eager to use a lawyer, since I'm mainly curious (and also want my data deleted!)

There's a difference between being right and getting right, so what is the best way?

Middle America is more socioeconomic than physical. Chicago, south of Detroit (but mostly just further from the border with Canada), wouldn't be considered Middle America. North Dakota probably would. Detroit is a strange city, but I think many people would probably refer to it that way. The midwest in general can conjure some of the aesthetic pretty well, despite physical locations sometimes being quite north.

I knew a guy who lived through WWII, he was German. He came to America and bought a 50s Mercedes. When I met him in the late 90s, it had 1,000,000 miles on it. He said he changed the brakes twice and the clutch once.

Over course, I doubted him, but he went into great detail about how he had to drive in post-war Germany, as they couldn't afford replacing anything back then, so everything had to last. He was extremely careful with his down shifting, and only barely touched the breaks at the very end. Accelerated very slowly, etc...

I wonder how much WWII played in Germans making solid stuff still to this day. (and the rest of Europe)
His mistake that he didn't ask to be emailed to develop such scheme in the first place, so he has a proof.

I don't see the point of this sort of "but johnny did it too" line of argument. So authorities are looking into a report of widespread abuse. Where's the relevance of not advertising how they may or may not look into other small-scale and lower-profile cases? In fact, aren't resources better spent by going after the single largest and more eggregious source of abuse that has a global reach and has been continuously abusing its position for over a decade?
>Planned Obsolescence is largely a myth, besides a few blatant examples.

I suspect you are decent person, likely you have never been lied to or about in public to shame you (in court, city council, etc...), or been mugged or attacked, or suffered any major crimes. Or least, had many year battle with people that try to destroy your life.

I have, and know many other people who have, and I am no longer in any doubt that large businesses collude for money, a far lesser crime than what I have experienced first hand.

So you're saying 'it depends' on the differential in methods for producing electricity versus your other heating sources, which makes sense.
If I have a solar roof for the electricity, vs an oil from fracking powered heating solution, then the lightbulb's 'waste' heat would certainly be preferable.

Part of the reason for asking in the first place is because I'm quite sensitive to the light quality as produced by an incandescent bulb, preferring it vastly over even the most 'modern' 'energy saver' bulbs.

Agreed. From the evidence I was able to find, certainly Gardasil seems to prevent at least some closely related strains. I am wondering if it prevents all cancer-causing strains though, which would be needed for eradication.

There's a (sort of) intuitive way of understanding why things like these are possible without even seeing it visually.

How can you make two solid 2D squares occupy the space? They can't travel through each other, so...? Easy. Lift one of the squares into the 3rd Dimension, move it to the same X,Y coords, then drop it on the other (think of putting stacking 2 pieces of paper).

Similarly, you can have two 3D objects occupy the same space by "lifting" one into the 4th dimension, moving it to the same X,Y,Z coords as the other, and then "dropping it". You can "cheat" by thinking of the 4th dimension as time - one object travels through time, places itself at the same position of where the other object is, then returns. But as I said, that's "cheating".
This seems orthogonal though. Just because a runtime uses reified generics, doesn't mean that it has to provide reflection on them.

Is there something special that type erasure adds, that you couldn't have Haskell without it? From a layman's perspective it seems that Haskell could be implemented with either an erased or a reified generics model under the hood, without changing the public surface of the language. But is there something that type erasure enables that reified generics does not?
Vacuum can't recover dead space in all cases. Consider if the dead rows are distributed throughout the table, it won't be able to reclaim it, only it can facilitate the future insertions into it. Also, the work it does to do that is many-a-times quite heavy for many workloads as it can slow down the system. I think you haven't fully looked at all the other benefits of this system which includes reducing write amplification by (a) by avoiding rewrites due to freezing, hint bits (b) making it possible to do an update that touches indexed columns without updating every index.

I think there are other benefits too in terms of just raw performance because it avoids a lot of work like HOT pruning. Yes, it instead needs to discard undo, but that is much cheaper.

In general, I think it is an overstatement to say that this is a wasted effort.

> tried out Python and while I really like it for small projects, parsing data files, and practicing data structures and algorithms I really miss being able to lean on static typing when refactoring. I also miss the strong IDE integration I get with that category of languages.

PyCharm has excellent integration with the language. It can give you expected return types and check types of parameters if you sue type hints or if you give functions and methods doc strings. I've used Java along with IntelliJ and I would say the difference is pretty minimal. There is a metric ton more boiler plate to write in Java so it's more needed. If you write Python like you write Java you're going to have a bad time no matter what.

I would suggest Go. You get static typing,less verbosity, and a much easier to use concurrency model. Depends on what you are making though. ORM's are not really all that popular in the Go community so if you'll be needing one you may want to look for something else. That being said, writing SQL isn't the end of the world and there are a lot of upsides to using it.
You're not really.

You're welcome. You're correct the 6-slide pitch deck doesn't have a "team" slide. It's deliberate. This is because it's higher priority to focus on the product and customer; the concept is still touched on by slide 6 and the "teammates" item. The 6-slide pitch deck can take an hour or so for a first draft.

In practice I use the 6-slide as a first step, akin to a simple sketch, suitable mostly for internal discussion. Then I work with the founders to expand the 6-slide deck into the 12-slide, which gets sent to external people. The 12-slide pitch deck can take a week or so for the first few drafts.

They will be verbal about it. If you request it in writing or email their own request to them, you will be fired or 'burned'.

I'm wondering how they found out it was someone from OpenTable.

I don't think I've ever come across a guide for startups in such a situation.

Yep. I'm self funding a startup here in China. It's hardware but not a kickstarter-widget, it's necessarily relatively capital intensive to prove market-fit, the opportunity is large, it's not in the US, it's already multi-jurisdiction, it's not growing via an accelerator, and it's absolutely not an SaaS or similar. Getting any kind of current advice is really difficult! I feel your pain. Those of us who are outliers just have to learn to filter a lot of this stuff and keep what's relevant. On the plus side, being outliers we probably have greater scope for execution without early competition, and if we play our cards right potential investors are more likely to notice us.
Solid advice! I remember reading about fillfactor but didn't get a chance to try it out on our workload.

Although an interesting writeup, the failure here is that several machines had the same local admin password.

In most responsible corporate deployments, the local admin account name and the password are randomised during the machine build process, to prevent this sort of attack. Doing this has been common practice for Active Directory machine deployments for several years now.

If you only had perfectly targeted advertisements, you would continuously be pushed to spend more money and attention to products and services. You might say 'I am in control', but at the minimum it wears you down to stay disciplined. Since time and mental clarity are rather high on my list of important things to protect, I view all push-advertisement is a problem. But I prefer badly targeted ones.

It's different when you want to research something, like buying a mobile phone, when you go to their channels and pull in reviews, advertisements, etc.

But this seems like a really toxic place to work. I routinely send a short summary of key points whenever we have a talk with someone that impacts our work/course of action. If not needed, I try to stay polite and relatively informal "Hi Steve, here's a short summary of what we talked about in the morning as my memory tends to fail me these days. If I got something wrong, please correct me." If someone gets back angry at me after receiving such an e-mail, I don't want to work in such a place.

I see your point, but in any private system where only the poor participate, only the poor pay the fees that allow the system to exist, so you either further disproportionately disadvantage them financially and/or you provide them with notably worse service and support than the well-to-do enjoy for their investments.
Most Windows projects that I've seen in the open use CMake to create VS solutions which usually just work.

I recently switched from cinnamon to gnome, assuming that gnome had an extra few years to mature since I last used it but I found it still lacked so many features.
Firstly, where is my taskbar? How do I add it? It took some tinkering about to find it.
Where are my desktop icons? More tinkering.
Why don't the desktop icons align to a grid? Why doesn't the file browser show me my free space? How do I add shortcuts to the top bar? Why are all the buttons so huge?
I am genuinely surprised that gnome hasn't really moved on in the years since I last used it, and at this rate I'll probably end up going back to cinnamon.

I don't know why everyone doesn't use the same converter! I haven't looked into any of them in detail… As for what a TeX distribution is: it's all the stuff (beyond the source code of TeX itself, which is maintained solely by Knuth) needed to get TeX and related systems in a usable form. This includes the to-C converter and build scripts, for TeX and for other programs/extensions like pdfTeX, the major macro packages like LaTeX and “format files” for them, font information for commonly used fonts, lots of “packages” written by lots of people over the years, hyphenation rules for languages, other programs like makeindex etc., DVI viewers and converters, TeX editors — the entire ecosystem that a typical TeX user may want. (Some distributions more minimal than others… TeX Live and MiKTeX are probably the two main ones today.)

As a permanent pension fund (rather than an individual retirement account), the fund has the advantage of a timeline of "forever" with a greater portion of assets than a 401K could. This allows them to hold a smaller percentage of cash/cash equivalents.
