A Danish cohort study with almost 360,000 people found no statistical correlation between cell phone usage and tumors: http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d6387

A UK prospective study of 1 million women had similar results: https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/42/3/792/2901734

Another study spanning 13 countries found some correlation with the highest use cases, but was cautiously worded that the effects may not be causative: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20483835

An Australian study similarly found no increase in brain cancer rates over its 30-year study period: https://theconversation.com/new-study-no-increase-in-brain-c... (sorry, can't get the original source for this one -- had to dig it out of Google from memory).

A US population study from 1992 to 2008 found that incidence rates of glioma remained steady throughout that period: http://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.e1147

The CDC has a cool dataviz tool that compiles a bunch of data from 1999 to 2014 (the most recent year for which it's available): https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/USCS/DataViz.html (click on the "Trends" button near the top). The trend line for annual rates for all new cancers for that period is flat; brain cancers are flat too, although thyroid cancers increase over that period at an unsettling rate. The articles I can find on that suggest that some (though maybe not all) of that increase is due to changes in diagnostic techniques, e.g. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/878030

There have been studies with rodents that did find statistically significant increases, but -- as far as I know -- those have all had some pretty serious methodological issues, like unrealistically massive amounts of exposure or not controlling for the tissue temperature increases that can be caused by exposure to powerful microwave radiation.

All of the big human population studies that I know of have found either no correlation at all, or some correlation but at such small numbers that it could also be statistical noise.

If any large studies have found conclusive statistical correlation in humans between cell phones and cancer, I'm not aware of it. (And would like to be.)

edit: which is not to say btw that cell phones aren't dangerous. They kill people every year -- just not with cancer, but by being a distraction while driving. http://www.nsc.org/learn/NSC-Initiatives/Pages/priorities-ce... . "A Deadly Wandering" is also a pretty okay book about this. Multiple studies described in that book found that, with very very rare exception, people could not safely drive and operate a cell phone at the same time, no matter how good they thought they were at multi-tasking. This is my PSA for the day.
Maybe the easiest thing to do is for websites to place a banner that if you are a EU citizen, you are not welcome or allowed to view the website and are violating the terms of service.
Treat this like you would any other copyright infringement (presumably you didn't sign anything giving them ownership of the work or you would not be asking HN?).

Find out where the site is being hosted, usually through a WHOIS search, and contact the hosting company's abuse department. Try a web search for a template of a takedown notice appropriate for the jurisdiction. For example, if the site is hosted in the USA you can send the host a standard DMCA takedown notice. Make sure the wording is correct.

You can go to a lawyer for reassurance (and if you can afford one), but for a simple copyright infringement notice sent to a web host, this is not super complicated and you can get it done yourself.

Obviously you are 'burning a bridge' here with the company that interviewed you, and you will never do work for them again, but they are treating you badly and it's OK to get more aggressive in your dealings with them. If they later claim this was a misunderstanding and remove your webpage, go ahead and invoice them at full market rate for the work anyway. They may tell you no but it's worth a try. These are all good skills to have if this happens to you again.

It would go to court if the victim were a young white woman, or an older white woman with money, and the perpetrator were not one of those. A white male victim might have a chance at "justice" if the driver were a minority. A drunk driver would be more likely, but by no means certain, to be charged with anything more than drunk driving. The victim in this case was 49, has been described as homeless (I automatically discount this detail in reporting on pedestrian fatalities), and she had a bicycle. Not the sort of person who inspires prosecutors to inconvenience upstanding taxpayers.

You're mixing up "undefined behavior" and "implementation-defined" behavior. Implementation-defined behavior is fine. "Undefined behavior", as the term is used in the C spec, means that literally anything can happen. The compiler is allowed to assume that UB never happens, so if it does the program can produce random results.

That's OK. Maybe you'll see them again next time you go around the same way, and you'll remember this time, and you'll start building a relationship with your neighbor.
We just need better technology. We need to stop giving our information away and then hoping it is somehow protected. We need technology to empower us without sacrificing our privacy and freedom.

Decentralization and encryption are probably two big parts of the answer. Laws may help or hurt but they won't solve the problem.

As a long-time C guy, it's nice to see Rust as a modern replacement. But most of the time, such low level programming is not needed.

The popularity of Rust and its friendly hand-holdy docs almost don't even make sense for what it is, to me anyway. I suspect it will end up frustrating many high-level developers.
Ok that makes sense, thanks.
Granted I've only sat in on a few GDPR meetings, but I don't think it works like that.

In your example you were the one that sent your information to some other 3rd party, so you would be the one responsible for that data transfer and its consequences.
When people talk about "removing undefined behavior", they usually mean requiring that compile-time-detectible undefined behaviors be converted into explicit errors.

For example, there are quite a few people who would like to see a C where you can't actually write this:

// int x, y;
if(++x < y) { ... }

...because, well, the behavior of integer overflow is undefined in C, so that code could technically do anything, even though it seems perfectly innocent, especially when coming from a checked language.

Of course, you can't do anything in the C standard to require that this code work as-is, because the C standard applies to architectures where mutually-exclusive things happen under integer overflow. But you can always just disallow it completely, and require that people use intrinsics that are explicit about what overflow behavior they expect (where that behavior reduces to plain output on target architectures that follow it, and to a shim on target architectures that don't. You know, like floating-point support, or atomics.)

> Okay, sure, if you want to get into the nitty gritty, that's fine. But I just wanted to provide a high level overview of how putting differently-sized structs into a vector can be problematic.

A vector is a container for homogeneous sequences of fixed-size objects that are stored contiguously. Even if we ignore the slicing problem, don't you see a problem in trying to shove sets of square and rectangular pegs into a container that was specifically designed to support only round pegs of one specific size?
We ask candidates to do real technical work for us as part of the interview process. We also pay them for it, and have them sign a contractor agreement which includes transfer of IP. Shitty that these guys didn't seem to offer you that level of respect.
Think of all these online brands that have built huge businesses off of Facebook and Google profiling. The Dollar Shave Clubs and Tough Mudders of the world and hundreds of others who all have built incredible companies off of micro ad targeting. Are we going to go back to the world of a few big mega brands who can do untargeted saturation marketing? That's the world you're going to get with all this privacy lunacy. We've got 6 media companies that own 90% of the market[1] we can easily get 10 consumer goods companies that own everything[2] the way things are going. All in the name of privacy!

I already acknowledged they may be correct. I will further formally acknowledge they may even be highly knowledgeable.

The problem is that citing "I'm a habitual tourist" is not really a credential anyone can verify. Maybe "I'm a travel blogger as well and here is a link to my 10 year long blog and here are the posts about the many times I went to this place, so you can check the depth of my knowledge if you desire." would work.

The phrase quite authoritative suggests credentialing. I am extremely knowledgeable about a number of subjects. I even have 6 years of college. But I have a serious problem with trying to get taken seriously in part because a lot of my credentials are akin to "I'm a habitual tourist."

Maybe you really are a habitual tourist. Maybe you are more knowledgeable on the subject than the world's foremost expert with two PhDs. The problem is that "I'm a habitual tourist" simply fails as a verifiable credential as a stand alone thing without something to back up your claim of depth of accurate knowledge.
I've been there, the PAIN is real. You can handle it.

Interesting question. Google might argue you should direct your request to those individuals you emailed to. Google storing the emails doesn't necessarily mean that they're responsible for processing your deletion request under the GDPR (or maybe it does, I'm just speculating).
Then perhaps he should become a fictional writer then. So what parts of this “story” are even true? But more importantly, what is the point of writing a fictitious story like this? If he’s not struggling with SQL and Rust, then what is it? Clickbait? I think you mean an illustrative example of Rust-bashing.
AWS keeps a list of vetted partners (business requirements, public references, case studies, good AWS relationship, etc) on the competency page.

You can see the different sorts of competencies here, in case your solution has a specific vertical or technology focus:
https://aws.amazon.com/partners/competencies/

You would want to focus on the consulting partners for this type of engagement.

If you're not sure, it sounds like it's more of a migration use case and you can get a short list of folks here:
https://aws.amazon.com/migration/partner-solutions/

If you know your AWS account team, they'd like to get that feedback. Otherwise my contact information is in my profile and you can email me and I can try to connect you to some AWS folks responsible for the partner as well.
That's my point. A voluntary job can't be slavery, by definition.
I don't think keeping public data about Musk/Tesla/SpaceX, probably managed by multiple people, gives FB any sort of important information to Facebook.

I don't think that this matters nearly as much as a major advertiser like Johnson and Johnson or pseudo celebrity Instagram followers pulling out.
The thing is, the EU doesn't have sovereignty outside of Europe. If I actually have presence in the EU, or do business with the EU, that's one thing. But they can't tell some rando with a blog living in Boston to delete comments any more than North Korea can pass a law banning making fun of Kim Jong Un in Berlin. They can huff and puff, but at the end of the day they just don't have the authority.
If I’m not mistaken they are also the driving force behind the Spring and Spring Boot frameworks. Probably the biggest Java framework out there.
Uber would like to settle that way, but they don't make that decision. Why wouldn't Uber competitors or detractors set up some kind of Gawker situation?

> How would EU law compel a non-EU entity

Because US and EU have singed agreements to that effect. It's the price US must pay for EU to allow American internet companies to serve EU customers.

It obviously applies to any company with direct business operations in any one of the 28 member states of the EU. But financial transaction is not nessesary for the extended scope of the law to kick in. Collecting personal data from EU citizen is enough.
yes, bipedalism is inherently harder. a tripod would probably be the optimal legged robot. inherently statically stable but fewer corner cases for both static and dynamic stability than even a quadruped. the odd number of legs makes control a little harder though.

the cool thing about hexapods is that walking is basically using two sets of tripods in alternating fashion (e.g., cockroaches do this at slow speeds). as speed increases, they remove legs that touch the ground, going from hexapod, to quadruped, to biped at the highest speeds.
Are you entitled to be paid for your work? Yes. Do you have a case against them? Probably yes. Is it worth your time? Probably not.

I'm guessing we're talking about a pretty small code test that took you maybe a day tops, in that case it's really not worth putting yourself through the ringer just to prove a point. Yes, they're assholes for doing this, but as many have said before, the best revenge is your own success without them.
Dark UX
My experience also was that they have a huge snob factor there. I was doing consulting for a database company when I visited their office. In the meeting I was announced as someone when knew our company's product, to which one of the people responded "Oh, I think we already know how <product> works". I wanted to respond, you guys have no f-ing clue how it works, but couldn't for decorum reasons.
No, no it's not. Shkreli wasn't even that bad of a dude. He was evil in the public eye because he wanted to be and honestly helped out a lot of bullshit happening in the pharmaceutical industry (that we already knew). Shkreli went to jail because reddit thought he was the worst dude in the world and he was the perfect skapegoat in the situation. People think justice was served even though it never will be.

Sidenote: Hope his WuTang album goes into the public domain after this.
I have never understood why HN does not do like Reddit – replacing the username by [deleted] or ghost.
The idea that race is a social construct is simply dumb.

Race: Genetic characteristics common to humans with a shared geographic origin, and that differ from humans from other geographic origins, sometimes distinguishable by appearance.

If our collective memory was wiped today, tomorrow we would distinguish humans by what we call 'races'. But it would require science to clarify what distinguishes a race at the genetic level (physical differences being a decent proxy but often wrong and clearly primitive) and to map the distinct differences between each race.

Why is this controversial?
Same. As much as I would like to move off Facebook, my friends are worth more to me than that. I could still communicate with them if I didn't have it, but it would take much more effort and I'm not the type to reach out that often. For people in my age range, we often make a facebook event, invite all the relevant friends, and it's done. If you don't have Facebook or don't check it, I won't remember to text you an invite. Maybe it makes me a shitty friend but I just assume everyone will see it on Facebook
Do you have something that explains that? The paper is paywalled and I don’t know what to make of the graphic.

The examples I gave should be sufficient to demonstrate that there are at least major discrepancies between the two.
I know it's an actual business. I wasn't suggesting it wasn't.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Gemfire and Greenplum (one of their acquisitions) - both rather important data platforms.

[correction: the second speaker, not "lawyer"]
Go back and re-read the GP, which was trying to draw some sort of moral equivalence between Uber and Velodyne:

"Why is it OK for the LIDAR company to make a blanket statement of innocence without proof, but not OK for Uber to do the same?"

This is a disingenuous question. It assumes facts not in evidence, to use the legal aphorism. Velodyne did not "make a blanket statement of innocence without proof". It made a very narrow and defensible claim, namely, that its product, when working properly under the conditions at the time, should have been able to detect the pedestrian. It is obviously true that there are "a ton of other variables" but that is a red herring with respect to the original question.
Yes, that's my personal experience as well. However, I've also contributed to Google Maps (and OpenStreetMaps) for missing locations that weren't entirely new.

I don't have any data, but I would not be surprised if a significant number of Google Map locations were created by patrons of a venue and not its owners/employees. Facebook Pages, on the otherhand, I see being set up and and maintained by an owner.
1) The perspective of "I have nothing to hide, I have no issue sharing all my data with FaceBook" has been very prevalent for a long time, as the consequences of that happening on a large scale are not obvious at a glance. It's a nuanced topic with too many variables. It takes a large enough event that can be (correctly or not) attributed to this in order to gain peoples attention. Foreign adversary potentially using this information and tooling to influence domestic elections is a large enough event to result in that coming to the public eye.

2) Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp all have "Always" permissions options for Location Services on iOS. Instagram has "While using" or "Never" only. Wouldn't expect this to be substantially different on Android.

I'm very interested to see how such requests would actually work...mainly because I'm curious to see what actual authority the EU has to enforce its laws outside of its borders.

I understand it applying to companies that are doing business in Europe but beyond that...?
Any jurisdiction can "tell you things" and judge you, even if it's not your own.

Admittingly, without cooperation with your jurisdiction, the EU jurisdiction cannot enforce a meassure if you don't have any presence under EU jurisdiction. However, if your jurisdiction cooperates with the EU jurisdiction, or if you eventually have some kind of presence in the EU, like traveling, they can go after you.

Hi,

Instrumentation (manual and automated) for tracing is just one of the features of Thundra. Thundra provides all the three pillars of observability in one tool. It can aggreagate metrics and logs.

Thundra is also integrated with AWS X-Ray for supporting distributed tracing.

Additionally, Thundra can monitor your Lambda functions with almost zero overhead by its async monitoring functionality over CloudWatch logs.
