Seeing as bringing CNY out of China is illegal, it would be really difficult for a country to import enough of it to run their economy. Whereas the most printed dollar bill is the $100, and 67 percent of them are outside of the US.

I haven't tried Stellaris, but I've heard complaints that it suffers from a "don't know how well you're doing" problem, in that you can be many hours into a game before you encounter other aliens and immediately realize that you're so far behind that your eventual defeat is inevitable.

Have you encountered that problem and/or do you know if it has been addressed?
Perhaps. But usually what happens when city gov't starts relentlessly targeting their own citizens with what amounts to revenue generation via enforcement, the citizens effect change in the gov't so it stops.

Isn’t this the intent, if not the implementation, of GDPR?

Good. We can expect such behavior from vile conservative companies like Cambridge Analytics, funded by Mercer and the cause for Brexit. Why are they even allowed on FB? Such extreme groups should never be allowed.
> The fact that comments cannot be deleted is increasingly unethical ...

Just assume that a few seconds after you post a comment Google, Bing, Facebook and a few other major Internet sites have scrapped your comment and are analyzing it.

And there a few aggregators that repeat the HN content and alternative UI for HN.

And some users make a local copy to run some statistics or detect dupes or just for curiosity. Some moron even made a Chrome extension to show the deleted and edited comments in HN.

And assume that the spy agencies of the major countries are making a nice backup of all your comments.

So after pressing the send button, just assume that there are 30 copies of your comment floating around.

A delete button only deletes one of them. The idea of Tweeter that you can delete a tweet and everybody really delete it is hilarious. Just assume the there is no "delete" button, it's just a "hide" button.

"Deleting" a comment is useful against a clueless neighbor that hates you because your dog barks too much. If a country with nukes hates you, they probably have the technology to save a copy of the "deleted" comment.
Failure to control speed is a moving violation and should be ticketed appropriately. What if a person is crossing the street and, according to you, a bike would be potentially unable to stop?

Any vehicle on the road has a legal obligation to operate their vehicle safely and lawfully — that means a bike ought never be unable to stop in time.

Some person could get horribly injured due to a bicyclist failing to control speed.
GDPR is coming. In my opinion it has flaws and I'm personally not a fan (big corps will have resources to comply and small ones will find it to be a barrier to entry), but if you want regulations this is as strict as it gets.

With and without JSX and Babel for beginners
One small quibble, physics only shortened the war in the Pacific, getting the Japanese to agree to an unconditional surrender without an invasion of the Japanese homeland and the concomitant estimated one million American casualties. The undamaged industrial might and natural resources available to the United States to continually contribute war fighting material to the frontlines help win the war in Europe and the Pacific theater more than anything else. The Pacific front was not the priority of the European front, we had a Germany first war plan even before the war started, the heavy dependence of Japan on imported natural resources made their defeat inevitable if America had the will to fight, especially after the first strike on Pearl Harbor did not work in the way the Japanese envisioned. It left America's carriers and most of the submarine fleet intact and did not crush America's morale.
Using Babel on the fly during production vs. compiling during development
For me, it depends on whether I'm listening to a fiction or non-fiction book (also, the ability of the narrator to draw me in is key). I was completely immersed in the audio version of the Three Body Problem and wager that I could recall it better than if I had read it.

As for non-fiction, the last book I tried to listen to is Behave by Robert Sapolsky. Although the narration is good, I simply cannot retain the names of the various brain structures and their function. After listening to a chapter for the 3rd time, I just gave up and decided to purchase the text version.

If someone is painting a picture for me, so to speak, as in narrative fiction, I feel it makes a stronger impression than actually reading the material. But if I'm trying to learn something, I frequently need to pause what I'm taking in, usually to build a mental model.
But can they assign the ticket to you personally? In my experience, places that put the responsibility strictly on the owner of the car do so by removing the attachment to an individual's driving record and instead attaching the ticket to the car itself, like a parking ticket.
This is an especially egregious case because it was well-known a long time ago that Kogan extracted a lot of really sensitive user data via the Facebook APIs that could be used for precision ad targeting. It says a lot about FB that they took this long to take any significant action other than getting a pinky promise from multiple companies that they deleted the data.

Even if they deleted the data, they could have retained information generated using that data which would allow them to effectively abuse the original data for ad targeting - which they did years ago. FB had opportunity to know this long before now.

It's bewildering that they knew this huge amount of sensitive data got into the hands of unauthorized third parties and were willing to treat assurances as a sufficient remedy. At the very least, all of their ad targeting should have been carefully vetted, but it seems ridiculous to let these third parties continue operating on the service when they had already demonstrated a willingness to blatantly violate the FB ToS and use unethical tactics for ad targeting.

In practice FB users aren't informed enough to know what this means or care about it, but missteps like this really demolish any argument that FB cares about user privacy or ToS enforcement. They had a huge amount of time to realize this was happening and take action on it. At this point it seems unlikely that CA and SCL are the only companies doing things like this - it's not exactly a secret that these techniques are effective. If they wanted to make it clear to third parties that this wouldn't be tolerated, they should have cracked down years ago.

As a startup founder, GDPR is an enormous pain in my butt. As a human, I think it's terrific.

A lot of the adoption pain reveals just how much we built businesses that couldn't care less about what individuals would like done with their data over time. If GDPR had been alive early in the web, I think we'd see different and more human business models, and technology to support them.
CA's political stance is basically irrelevant here, they're mercenaries. "Liberal" companies of this stripe would easily do the same thing if given the opportunity. The sort of work they do is intrinsically compromising unless your business is operating with a very firm moral/ethical code and it really hinders your ability to chase opportunities and maximize revenues.

It's not a coincidence that Google ditched 'don't be evil', and doing that doesn't indicate a twist to the far right or anything of the sort: It's just the reality that being a wildly profitable advertising firm can require a lot of moral/ethical flexibility that leads to outcomes like what we have here with CA & SCL.

The significance of CA's politics is specifically that they gave their services for free to a political campaign that aligned with their goals, which is already of questionable legality - and in this case, likely expected and possibly already received regulatory kickbacks in exchange. But that doesn't really matter in the context of FB deciding to enforce rules.

EDIT: To clarify, Trump's campaign did pay CA but sources have claimed that they received a deep discount.
I don’t understand why it was legal for trump to hire Cambridge Analytica, which is foreign owned, to influence the presidential election.

I also don’t understand why Russia gets all the news, when this foreign election tampering was so much more effective and done in the open.

I don’t think GitHub actually labels #2 as a fork, but traditionally that’s been the meaning.

They just needed a word to show that the repo is not original and is tied to an upstream repo.

For example, when I wanted to “fork” a project[0] that was no longer maintained and not accepting PRs, I actually had to contact GitHub to “unlink” my repo so that I my repo could be standalone and utilize all the features on GitHub (can’t remember which features off the top of my head).

You ”try” to follow the law? Can you understand why bikes aren’t the most loved vehicles on the road. You essentially admit to following the law when you feel like it.

You should stop at red lights and stop signs every single time — not just when you deem it prudent. If you want to treat red lights like yield signs, then you can’t complain when motorists treat bike lanes like loading zones.
Hiring Cambridge Analytica is legal (just need to declare it publicly). Receiving contributions from foreign sources is illegal. Not too tough to suss out.

Some additional context on Cambridge Analytica.
I'm guessing Dr. Aleksandr Kogan (who also had his FB account suspended) was Cambridge Analytica (and the Trump campaign's) source of data on individual Facebook profiles:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/26/cambridge...

> Cambridge Analytica used its own database and voter information collected from Facebook and news publishers in its effort to help elect Donald Trump, despite a claim by a top campaign official who has downplayed the company’s role in the election. ... In another case, in the late stages of the November election, Schweickert said the company acquired data on voters who voted early – data it collected from local counties and states – and linked the information to individual Facebook profiles.
What I wonder is why Israel is so ignored when they have orders of magnitude more money and influence in Washington than Russia. One of the top lobbyists in the US is AIPAC, giving money directly to politicians. The hypocrisy is absurd.
Naming a liberal-leaning political consultancy that is this slimy would help. (The DNC’s behavior during the primaries comes to mind, in fairness to your argument)
That's the stuff of nightmares right there.

> If I deposit $100 in a bank, the bank can lend out around $90 to someone else (fractional reserve banking)

This is the textbook explanation which the article strongly rejects. In practice the bank will lend out as much as possible - it is not effectively constrained by reserve requirements since it can and will simply borrow the difference. What constrains it is market forces (the demand for loans, and their profitability), and financial regulations, and finally the interest rates set by the central bank.

If a retail bank believes it can turn a profit by lending money borrowed from the central bank, in compliance with the law, it will do so until it exhausts the opportunity. Consumer deposits are irrelevant.

Anyone else suspicious that Zuckerberg may be gearing FB to ban the analytic tools of his competition if/when he runs? If Zuckerberg does run, I wonder to what extent FB will be his personal tool? Could you imagine if an old school news paper baron ran for president and his journalists always wrote in his favor?
You are reflecting very poorly on your employer because you are proving that they hired someone naive enough to think that he could try to open source G Suite.
So if you make it easier for someone else to develop an exploit, which is then deployed before mitigation can be, that's OK so long as you didn't directly profit from it? I think reasonable people can take a different view. It's all too easy to say "let the chips fall where they may" when you feel none of the consequences. It's even easier when maintaining a general atmosphere of threat is in your own business interest.
Hm, The best answer as I see it is that the game allows you to set both the size of the galaxy (map) and the number of civilizations in it (competitors).

I would say the DNC is not very liberal, it's more corporatist/neoliberal, which is not progressive at all. And their reach/tech is pretty low tech.
The NHRA is effectively on life-support, or at least on galantamine.

I grew up in the Nor-Cal racing scene and my family owned 2 dragsters (Only 1 of which worked at a time). Many many Wednesday nights were spent at Sears Point [0] racing our beaters against each other and chewing on those god-awful hot-dogs. Hot August Nights were one of the few vacations my Dad took, mostly to go place '9ers bets in Reno, but still.

The NHRA scene is just too 'rich' and old for the teens. I don't mean in terms of just money, but also in terms of intelligence and experience. The teens can't compete with the older Boomer and the Boomers think they are just idiots. Fact is, they are; but it's only because they are young and inexperienced. If the Boomers would find the wherewithal to just invite the kids over and talk, they'd find a lot of common ground. Also, the teens all speak Spanish and the white Boomers tend to be Trumpy.

But their cars are also not as easy to muck with. A 2005 Scooby has a ton of computers and other crud in them. Yes, the aftermarket ODBII cards can help, but it's almost a cheat. This goes for all the regs California has now (smog, etc). There is a lot to learn about modern cars and not a lot of teachers (WyoTech at Las Modanas is pretty good, actually, but rare). Again, the Boomers neglected to teach the next generation.

Still, NHRA events and the SCCA are just too old. They have 'dances' on the weekends, but they play The Supremes and The Beatles. If you tried to play anything off the charts today, you'd get screamed at and have a gun waved in your face. I doubt they even know about Spotify. Then the pit fees and the tire fees start adding up, let alone race-gas and the Nomex suits (SCCA here). The weekend to weekend costs are just too much for working at BestBuy, especially if you don't have the tools already. The upfront capital is insane.

So, what do they do? Sideshows and the like. They go out on the street, where else? Tracks are not welcoming.

Are they dangerous as all get out? Yes.

Do the girls pay attention?

...

Well, then, who cares how dangerous it is!

What choice do they have?

Another place where lexing and parsing interact is JavaScript. Consider the lexer encountering the text "/x;".

If it occurs in code like:

let a = /x;

then it needs to continue lexing a regular expression.

If it occurs in code like:

let a = b /x;

then it needs to lex it as division sign, identifier x, semicolon.
That too. Trump’s son-in-law apparently took a $30m bribe from the Israelis while working for the administration to broker a Palistinian peace deal, but that’s a bit off topic (since the article is about how he accepted foreign aid during elections, not his open corruption while holding office).

You're comparing the number of people who cycle to work with the number of cars in the US. That's an odd comparison.

In spring 2017, the number of people who have been cycling within the last 12 months amounted to 66.21 million. [Source](https://www.statista.com/statistics/227415/number-of-cyclist...). Given that some people own two vehicles, I think you'll find similar numbers for people who own cars and bicycles.

And part of the reason people don't cycle to work is that there aren't safe cycle routes to their work. If you build your infrastructure for cars it forces peoples hand. The Netherlands has extensive cycle friendly roads and adoption is much higher.
It's too easy for this information to get out. There's basically no penalty, you just use as you want and year's late facebook cuts you off? So you start a new company, owned by a new llc, get the lawyers to sign the 'i am not evil' doc and repeat.

There's no way this will have any impact until there are criminal citations on the people involved. In this case, because it's the us, there's not going to be anything criminal. Facebook, you need to sue companies that do this into oblivion. You are rich and can stand up.

In europe, there's gdpr, the us has no defense. Remember, the chinese and russian govts (probably) were the ones that hacked the company that had all the security clearance applications. Basically, everyone but average americans have access to us govt employee's private information. There must be some blackmailing going on.
The ‘offer’ isn’t illegal - going through with it would be though, for both sides. Grand theft and receiving stolen goods. Both not great, plus you’d be actively acting against the law enforcement system which would ensure a zealous prosecution.

We are utterly shocked to discover that people have been invading our customer's privacy to manipulate them politically, without our consent. Sorry, their consent, I meant to say without their consent. Furthermore, we had no idea that this was going on, as we were reading a really good book at the time and the radio was on really loud. That said, we are paying attention now and you can trust us with everything from here on in, as we are really nice and competent, honest.

The fact that Apple hasn’t ever let you set a default browser on iOS isn’t a good thing.

I fault Apple way more for never even offering the option and not letting you replace apps that don’t give you that option. I don’t really care what Microsoft does with their mail app that I never use because I can replace it.

Apple does not even give you the option to replace the SMS app in iOS, which always opens links in safari.

Also, even if Microsoft were behaving as badly as Apple...if Apple can do it why can’t Microsoft? Are you saying that they should never be allowed to change anything?
