these cafés attract in general "alternative" people. I've got no problem with that, but I'm a bit fed up with conspirationists, anti-nuclear, really left-wing people.

I've had the opposite experience from repair forums and such; most of those into repairing things tend to have agricultural/automotive/trades backgrounds, and seem to be more ring-wing libertarians. Lots of them are anti-EPA too, which is a bit surprising. Perhaps both extremes of the political spectrum oppose the throwaway culture...

At the very least people shouldn't upvote posts with non-descriptive titles.
Well, yes. Since Fed is not making pizzas and margaritas, it can only swap one asset for another, it can't mix you a decent margarita.

And if Fed will go out and just buy the whole outstanding float of GOOG, AAPL, TSLA, FB and NFLX with freshly minted money, it would be, bingo, "swap of one asset for another".

Don't you think that asset swap like that will somehow affect the general economy?

EDIT: damn, let's go _really_ extreme. Fed can basically swap all the government debt with dollars. All the 21 trillion of it, in a single asset swap. Click-click and boom, USA is debt free, no more interest payments, hooray. Dont you think such swap will have some real-life repercussions? If it will, how it's different from QE?
I'm not sure whether you are serious or this continues your repeated anti-EU comments on HN, Silhouette.

To the extent that I am anti-EU in some respects, particularly around the areas of small businesses and excessive regulation, that is born of experience. As I have mentioned in previous comments, which apparently you might have seen, I have been on the wrong side of EU rules being over-zealously applied before, and I have been on the wrong side of a government regulator that is for most practical purposes above the law making a mistake before. Some things that some commenters tend to dismiss as hypothetical, I know from direct personal experience to be real threats, and I will challenge bad laws that allow scope for such threats to exist.

I find it OT and I hope the moderators do to.

I'm sorry that you feel censorship is a useful response to someone with different experience and views to your own. I like to think that HN is a forum where people can discuss such differences of opinion openly and intelligently.

I have started using a "Quick Javascript Switcher" extension some years ago to easily opt-in for certain pages but have js disabled by default.

This was one of the best quality of life decision in terms of web browsing I have ever made.

The vast majority of pages that I randomly access (e.g. from hacker news) are text based and usually work just fine without js. But the time until I can start reading is much faster (less jumping around of content) and I don't get the growth hackers modals shoven down my throat two paragraphs in. The pages I use regularly are usually white listed
> I also remember playing the game way past its end (something like year 3000 or 4000). It was quite funny, because of global warming, all the terrains were converted to swamps or deserts.

It might have been in civ 2, but I think I once lots of nukes just to see if I could terraform the deserts into arable land through global warming.

Turns out I could, but it would make so much damage to the rest of the land or infrastructure that just sending loads of engineers/settlers to do the transformation was more economical.

Good times!
Yes, but there's a certain futility in spending 30 minutes repairing a $5 widget when the $8 widget wouldn't have broken in the first place.
> Also, are you seriously suggesting that in response to a formal legal communication it's a good idea to reply without having input from a lawyer?

You don't need a lawyer to reply to GDPR letters. You do need to comply with the law when you collect personal data. What you're saying is "I should be free to ignore the law until someone writes to ask about my compliance, and when they do it's burdensome for me to get legal advice to respond to that letter".
GDPR most certainly applies to institutions like the tax authority. As others have noted, they are required by law to keep some data/records.

But that doesn't mean you don't get to see all that data, can ask for corrections, or ask for deletions in the case where they store data they cannot justify.

How this apply (what difference it makes) will vary from institution to institution.

Well geo IP blocks are much easier than fetching those logs by user on request. This will happen if EU citizens overly burden companies with these letters... but not until then probably. I definitely wouldn't want to jeopardize my future EU prospects by ignoring the requests for info.

It may be a bit of an unlikely scenario, but people should remember their opinions on region-specific content blocking even if they think their region has enough leverage to make everyone bend to their will.
Question: why isn't linear algebra in here? I know this is a type of "but this isn't in my favorite list" question but since a lot of universities include it in their CS curriculum, I wonder why it isn't in here.

Structuring JavaScript projects for testability
Scale Summit 2018 Notes
To this day, many are maimed and killed by US land mines in the region, and the US does not give a shit.

My point is that’s it’s incorrect to speak of 330 million diverse people as collectively not giving a shit. I stand by that.
More like a case for on site power generation. Semiconductor fabs consume enormous amounts of power. Would be difficult to handle with energy storage systems, as least with today's technology.
I’ve read technical books like this for fun. Math is a little tricky because a lot of time you need to really spend time working out the algebra to get the concept, but sometimes you can still just sit down and read. And if it’s not a progression over a single subject you can just jump to a section you find interesting. Even if you don’t grok it 100% you’ll still have learned something by making the effort.
Pencil in hand. When you see an argument whose steps you don't follow, work it out. When you get to the problems, do at least some of them. Follow the assignments in the MIT course, and check your work against the solutions.
It depends on your definition of what a hacker is. Asking how to be a hacker is like asking "How do I make a meal?". What type of meal do you want to make? Is it breakfast, lunch, dinner, a celebratory meal? It is just a broad question.

This definition of a hacker might differ from person to person even at that. A good definition, I personally like, of a hacker is the technical adeptness and a delight in solving problems and overcoming limits. If this describes you to help people and solve problems, then I recommend this article. [0]

Such technology can't exist, because it is fundamentally trying to prove a negative.

There are technologies you can use (with varying degrees of effectiveness) to reduce the risk of data leaking by monitoring or intercepting specific mechanisms through which leaks can occur, but you can never have reasonable certainty in this respect.
You make a fair point. The same is observed in lowering quality of produce; this intuitively reasons that "the throwaway economy is bad". However, cheap produce with considerable lower product lifetime can be better as it may typically endure the intended lifetime, whereas overengineered products may last far longer, the invested energy does not pay itself back (the product may be thrown away much earlier).

The cost for newly produced items is almost always underappreciated in popular economics. That's because many factors such as environmental impact, logistics (and its side-effects), resource-mining are not included. Your LCD panel may cost $100 in store, but the government in the country it is produced may pay decades long to cleanup production sites. The government of the country producing minerals may pay years-long in healthcare for badly treated workers.
In my view, audiobooks are a complete waste of time for retaining information unless you are highly engaged and not distracted.
The droves of multitaskers that "mind hack / life hack" themselves by listening to audiobooks at 2x+ speeds while "getting shit done" are deluding themselves and descending into stupidity.
Read, god dammit! Read! You have to read deeply and deliberately.
Seriously, audio books are a good supplement but not a replacement. You cannot be educated "on the go" with audio books. Anything worth learning will demand your full attention.

Great!

Without knowing much about how compilers work under the hood, its difficult to gauge how ergonomic I can expect them to be while remaining deterministic. If you had told me it's actually NP hard to always select the token before the missing semicolon I would have said, "Oh, ok." :)

People understand opportunity cost: thats why they repair their car and not buy a new one.

The repair obsession is not economical, its moral. People perceive that you protect the environment this way, and thus find any excuse to do it.
I assume you meant raw pasteurized milk. I've seen anecdotal claims that drinking actual raw milk causes an increase in lactose tolerance, the hypothesis being that you lose some beneficial bacteria during the pasteurization process (not to mention various proteins are denatured).

I found it ironic, this type of "article" being on LinkedIn - possibly the most sleaziest site, after Facebook, in terms of personal data capture.
This is pretty cool, thanks for the intro.

The funny thing is this is _almost_ what I wanted the system interconnect to evolve towards back in the early 100Mbit ethernet days. After AVB and I wandered around the valley convincing the card people that you could signal over copper at 100Mbit, and they bit and started building cards, I started thinking about the future.

It was fairly clear that the hardware guys got it at 100Mbit, they could keep the packet format and keep making the interconnect faster and faster. The hump they had to get over was that the packet was the thing that had to stay the same, you can use whatever tricks you want to signal at the next speed level. So I was thinking wouldn't it be cool if they really pushed it so that it was viable for system interconnect. I half heartedly pushed for it inside of Sun but never got anywhere. At the time I was pushing for ethernet out to the disk drives (with power over ethernet so you just plug in more storage, easy peasy) but I definitely had the switched interconnect in mind as a replacement for the system bus.

So this seems like that vision, a switched network, but at a slightly different level than ethernet, it's got more end to end stuff in it.

I sort of wonder if we'll get there at some point, where the system interconnect is sort of like Formula 1 ethernet and the networking cards are like commercial car ethernet where some of the Formula 1 stuff has been trickled down to high volume stuff.

Eventually we'll run out of ethernet addresses though I bet anything we could just have a rollover, start reusing any address that is more than 20 years old (or for that matter, just have a block of addresses that are domain specific and are reused in each computer's internal interconnect).
Most likely silicon cruicibles. The reason there is no backup power is because this would've taken building an own power plant.
One thing other commenters haven't mentioned is that Facebook asked the other parties to delete the data and promise never to use it again and the other parties even certified that they had done so, but the whistleblower is alleging they lied to Facebook.

Maybe that's legally actionable.

This makes sense. However, this also means as one party of the off-chain transaction, I need to constantly monitor the main chain to make sure the other party doesn't try to screw me up. And if they do I need to publish the contract before they spend the money.

Is this correct? And how can this be made 100% bulletproof?
One sentence at a time...
In my experience IC's are really reliable, and the last place I look. As other have said, electrolytic capacitors and connectors are the biggest problem. The other reply is a good one, substitute a switch and a relay if you want!
> So the end result is that you can only have economic growth when the Government is running a surplus and the private sector is in balance or deficit through money creation from banks.

Not that fast. The catch is that all those equations are nominal, and they have an incredibly complex interaction with the real economy.

I was surprised to see the article state "The modern humans who came out of Africa to originally settle Europe about 40,000 years are presumed to have had dark skin, which is advantageous in sunny latitudes."

"presumed"??!!

I've always thought there was some scientific evidence for this and not mere presumption. Is there not some evidence about the skin coloration of our African ancestors of different periods?
More like interfaces. A lot of OOP languages just did it in a limited way where interfaces for a class are closed. Meanwhile in Haskell or Rust, you can define your interfaces, and then provide implementations of it for existing objects like String. Or the Scale workaround, which basically is implicitly converting to wrapper classes that implement the interface. With the goal being extending existing types with new shared behavior, without the limitations of full inheritence.

You might want to read some introductory anthropology textbooks. For as long as there have been humans it has been us against them. Them/the others/the strangers/the not us are dangerous and cannot be trusted. There are specific rituals that an other must go through to become a part of the community - the means by which one of the others can become one of us. What separates us from them? It might be skin color, it might be language, it might be religion, it might be you live in the mountains and we live in the valley, you are a herder and we are farmers, you are rural and we are urban, you have curly hair and we have straight hair, etc. ad naseum.
NYT must have run out of original content.
What you say is indeed true, but only partly so. The state of affairs would be no different in the corresponding iterative solution. I say 'partly' because you could put a break point at the entry point or before the call. One would be able to debug the recursion just as one would debug the corresponding loop.
Then refrain from collecting and processing data on individuals.
If you look at enforcement under current regime in eg UK the ICO has never used their maximum fine.

With 100k grants to give, I think you'd want quite a few crackpots, and maybe even some lazy mathematicians. Those could be the types who come up with a game changing result.
Not as cool a visualization, but https://www.swissgrid.ch/swissgrid/de/home/reliability/wam.h... shows the frequencies and phase differences (in degrees) between a few measuring stations around Europe. The phase difference between Switzerland and Spain is now some 50°, which is actually much larger than I would imagine these differences becoming.
I was insinuating Tesla Powerpacks, similar to the Hornsdale Power Reserve.

EDIT: After doing more digging and seeing how much power the facility requires, energy storage is definitely not an option. They'd need their own natural gas turbine on site and redundant transformers (a transformer failed).
This isn't healthy.

What was the biggest gap in his understanding of his own accounts?

Suppose I work a regular office job. If I make $X, but pay out $Y in child care and other expenses (commute/car), then it won’t take me long to notice if $X =~ $Y.

Was the biggest gap unaccounted expenses for his car?
Even if you can't fix it, there is value in tinkering with it. Over the years I've gotten to the point where I understand my limits, when I might be able to stretch those limits, and when to call in the professionals or just chuck it and buy a new one. Even when I can't fix it myself, I have a general idea of what's wrong so I can be much more confident in my decision to replace it; and if I end up calling in a professional, I can be confident I won't be getting ripped off.

The internet has also helped a lot. Specifically, a lot of howto videos show common gotchas, which in the past are the things that have usually caused me to either give up or to turn a $10 repair into a $500 replacement by making things worse...
If you can't already answer these questions you're probably already breaking EU law.

There's been a round of companies "reconfiming" email lists "because GDPR" - but if those companies can't show clear opt-in before sending email they're already in breach of PECR.
I actually don't think the problem is one of mutability/immutability – it's just that a mutable setting very clearly exposes the problem.

I think the core of the problem is that the object model has permanently and irreversibly associated an identity to an object based on attributes that are actually malleable. Someone else made a good connection to pastry dough, which can be shaped even more freely. We would never hold up a clump of pastry dough, however it is shaped, and proclaim "Down at the core, this is fundamentally a rectangle," because we know the rectangleness is just a temporary description of its spatial attributes, which may change the very instant we accidentally drop the dough and it hits the floor.

Similarly, if "being a rectangle" in our model means "being able to change the width and height independently", then the square should never have been allowed to be a subtype of the rectangle.

I guess this touches more and more closely on what the submitted article discusses, and my initial confusion stemmed from the fact that I have never before heard the "can change width and height independenly" definition of a rectangle, because from my maths background a rectangle is just a description something that happens to be, not something that changes itself.
Doesn't look like it.

One might argue that linear algebra is slightly more niche than stuff like graph theoretic algorithms. There are applications to broadly useful things like gradient descent, but that seems to fall under numerical linear algebra which probably deserves its own course in the Applied Math department.

N.b. just playing devil's advocate, I don't have a strong opinion either way.
On an unrelated note...

Given the skin effect, the ampere rating of an AC cable should be the square root of the material used, more or less, but that's per cable.

Obviously you can't get around that by braiding cables, but does anyone ever try to save on material by running multiple independent cables? Or would that end up being more expensive overall?
That is a great idea.

If you assume that "run 200 miles" doesn't refer to a single run but rather to the capability of running 200 miles, the analogy works much better. If you stop training the ability to run 200 miles vanishes even more quickly than an equivalent feat of learning.

This whole idea of having methods appear and disappear depending on the state seems error-prone: the caller needs to check whether the method exists before calling it, and nothing enforces this so you'll get runtime errors unless you're very careful.
