There is nothing super contradictory about Zuck that way... Zuckerberg isn't rich and famous because he is good at programming. He is because he created a successful social network called Facebook. He doesn't make money because he programs now. He is rich because he is good at being a CEO of Facebook, and neither the CEO job nor a successful social network is easy to get.

I don't think Zuck would list his job as being a programmer. He lists his job as being a CEO. Same as Taylor Swift lists her job as being a singer/songwriter. When someone dreams to create a successful social network and become a CEO like Zuck, it's just as delusional as writing a hit song and becoming a music star like Swift.
You should make sure to mention this on the Indigo forums (http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/userforum/index.php) given that it looks like an Apple-centric smarthome device.

FWIW, the wood thing does not really seem like a selling point, and also most likely drives the price up more than a plastic case would.

I like the concept of it though and plan to research the APIs a bit more and then will likely order a couple.

>people are willing to design for free because many, many people love being artistic.

That's part of it. But a lot of people (on both sides) are also just naive about the value of said exposure. When I was a consultant I was asked for freebies all the time. Sometimes speaking at a conference was legitimate for the "portfolio" but it was mostly just asking me to work for free.
> both are infringing 1st amendment

The First Amendment protects you from the government. Facebook censoring you is not prohibited by the First Amendment. More broadly, I don’t see how GDPR interferes with one’s right to lawful political speech.
The market will produce those that work savings into the price. We can't make blanket statements denying that?

The automated food industry is very, very good at producing quality safe food. And I reject that humans will still be storing nor handling food - a truck backs up, exchanges pallets with a food container carousel, the truck drives away with the empties. Robots all the way!

You're absolutely right that wood is driving up the price. But if this does well enough in wood then I'll launch a plastic version in a year or two for $49.
Sadly I've seen this comparison so many times this last week on HN. Seems like common sense leaves some people when we talk about their country.

I don't think that's a matter of priorities so much. I think most of them simply don't notice it or don't know what's exactly wrong when they do. At least that's what I noticed in some people I worked with.
But what if a person was in fact found guilty, but counter-evidence later came up and he was once again ruled innocent? His name has been long published by then.

It's really bizarre the way that pre-professional undergraduate programs in the US work. Pre-med is basically a smorgasbord of random stuff, with a slight inclination towards biology and chemistry, although from my remembrances with premed classmates, they didn't take a whole lot more sciences than the general requirements mandated. Pre-law is even worse, with people taking the most generic possible collection of liberal arts classes, usually ending up with Econ or History almost by default.

There's some perverse incentives to take less-demanding courseloads, in order to boost your GPA for graduate school admissions, and expend most of your efforts training for the MCATs or LSATs.

If you actually wanted to produce medical professionals in an efficient way, there is no way that you would do it in the way that this currently works in the US.
By not paying non-negotiated rates for medical care? Sounds like a good reason to me.
That's not the point. You're just providing an intuitive explanation for the study's empirical findings, which I agree with.

OP's point was specifically that the wage gap may be caused by women's focus on child care instead of career advancement.

Yet, as I was trying to say: that idea is hard to square with the study's findings. Presumably, those emphasizing time with their children would tend to also have children rather early, possibly before they are 25. But in that age group, the study did not find a sustained reduction in income.
Towards what end? GDPR is not going to (or meant to) eliminate targeted online advertising. Which means it is not going to thwart Cambridge Analytica and the likes. We need to address the root of the problem, which is money/advertising in politics.

The numbers are hugely valuable for small businesses in particular. It enables A-B testing of pages/posts, insight into which external platforms are providing the most traction, etc.

Essentially, it enables you as a small business to determine where you should be focusing what's probably a very limited budget in order to connect with audiences who are actually interested in your product/service. There's no exploitation or sale of data or misuse of private info involved.
But the question is, is the lack of access to healthcare in the US result of an inherent shortage of capital, or is it due to the system used to allocate healthcare to individuals?

Given that the majority of the developed world seems to be mostly able to deliver universal health care with relatively little difficulty, it seems more likely that the problem is the system, not a need for more capital.

Is anyone talking about the harmful effects on startup companies that may want to create new social platforms to compete against the incumbent players? All the talk about regulating facebook, twitter, etc are actually great for those companies because they can afford compliance. But it raises the bar of entry so high that new companies wouldn't be able to compete since with limited resources they wouldn't be able to focus on the critical period of acquiring users and instead would be forced into building compliance features.

I firmly believe that the majority of people still don't care about their privacy in the first place or they wouldn't use such platforms. IMO this is government overreach and anti-competitive.
If you want to run a social media platform, GDPR is infringing your freemdom of speech. You can argue that it’s worth it, for the illusion of more privacy. I just don’t think it is.
Roughly:

def GDPR_applies(company, person):
if in_EU(person):
return True
if in_EU(company):
return True
return False

There are various conditions, limitations, and exceptions that make the above not fully accurate, but its a good first approximation.

You can read the actual text of the territorial scope rule here [1].

Edit: slightly less rough, but still quite rough:

def GDPR_applies(company, person):

if in_EU(company):
return True;

if in_EU(person):
if offering_goods_services_in_EU(company, person):
return True

if monitoring_behavior_in_EU(company, person):
return True

return False

It’s not that absurd.

In the automotive industry, California emissions and efficiency standards become the defacto standards in the US mainly because it wouldn’t make economic sense to maintain a California model and a more polluting model. Also, better fuel efficiency is generally seen as a good thing by consumers.

EU has a population of 510m. FB is blemished by privacy concerns. If Facebook makes a GDPR compliant version – it wouldn’t be unreasonable of them to roll that same version out to the rest of the world.
The argument for increasing the # of levels would be that the increase in effectiveness of representatives who only have to act in the interest of $dunbar number of people below them while working amoung the $dunbar number of people on the same level to influence the person on the level above more than cancels out the decrease in effectiveness from increased layers of abstraction.
And equal pay won't fix things like each gender having difference qualities they prefer in partners, on average. Nor will it fix things like career choice (studies have found that places with less economic freedom have better gender parity in picking careers). It may be possible some of this isn't cultural at all. Every other species on the planet has sexually dimorphic characteristics, so to we shouldn't assume that humans either don't, or even that the ones we do have would have no impact on any factors related to pay (including things like impacting what careers a person finds desirable).

I once took an uber with a driver who was deaf and couldn't speak english. In a normal situation, these two qualities were forgivable: but when he drove away with my luggage, I struggled to even communicate, let alone chase him down.

Being told in clipped, broken, heavily-accented sentences: "Go to Uber", "call Uber", "it's with Uber". But Uber where, exactly?

While I was calling all the nearby Uber locations, I kept thinking, "If this guy got 4.6 stars, do the stars mean anything? At all?"

I would retrieve my stuff, finally, when his daughter took the phone explaining that he accidentally took it and then dropped it off at his local Uber... two-or-three cities away.

All in all, an unpleasant eye-opener.
“Turn Touch is a perfect match with Philips Hue lights” - I must be missing something in this prominently highlighted scenario. Instead of walking over to the lamp and turning it on, you have to find the remote and press its button to turn on the same lamp. Where’s the value in this?

I understand the advantage of voice control, but operating one physical object vs another sounds like a simple substitution.

Facebook to send notices to 87M users affected by data breach
>It's funny how GDPR coincides with the Facebook scandals

The GDPR has been on the table since 2012. That's a very loose coincidence.
Hail corporate.

It's nice that you trust them.
GDPR applies if:

- The data is processed by a company established in the EU (it does not matter where the person / “data subject” is).

- The person is in the EU (whether or not they are an EU national).

“Data subjects” are not protected outside the EU against companies established outside the EU.

I think it's mainly a tooling issue—readme files are repo "homepages" by default, there isn't an easy way to inline an image in Markdown (nor should you want to), and people don't want to pollute a repo with binaries.

The pedestal (pictured on the site) is exactly that wall control. I built the pedestal because I wanted my remote to live somewhere. The pedestal holds the remote in place with 6 hidden magnets, leaving you free to pull the remote off the wall to use interactivity. The pedestal also works on a table top just as well, which is where I have a remote situated next to my bed on a nightstand.
Privacy and individual protection against big companies are EU cultural norms? Glad to be an EU citizen then.
I use checks (USA) for all my bills (including online payment they my bank where they mail the checks for me) because most places either do not accept credit cards or they charge an outrageous fee to accept credit. Lots of local businesses, especially contractors, cleaners, etc, either do not accept credit or highly resist it.

Blockchains storing social data is good example. It's infringing by nature GDPR. A decentralised facebook-like social network on the blockchain is not possible anymore. Each node can be sue. It had happened with TOR exit nodes.
You say "should". Who guarantees that? News outlets are for profit organizations. If they judge "not guilty" as something that doesn't sell as well as "guilty" then they won't publish so much content about it, and because of Google's algorithm that latter won't be ranked very high.

Even if it's ranked high, a lot of readers would still end up with this feeling that "yeah the latest news article say that but MAYBE that guy DID do something wrong... let's not hire him just to be sure", i.e. "where there is smoke there is fire".

I just gave you a practical example about the plastic surgery meme. News articles about how the woman was ruined rank nowhere near as high as the meme itself.
True. The power of tracking through big data analysis can be really really dangerous. Having a burner cellphone (B) one never used to call anyone (C) is useless if it's always carried around with the main one (A) so that it always updates through the same Wifi connections and links to the same cell towers at the same time. A and C's are already related, so a quick analysis will relate also A and B, then B with C's although B and C's never called each other and don't share their respective numbers in their phonebooks.
I like the design! Very comprehensive built descriptions too (mainly looked into the firmware part). At first I wasn't too sure about the BTLE choice, but it makes sense in a power consumption context.

Zigbee would have been nice for my usecase (I'm using a RaspBee module), but that's not for everyone (I like to try out a lot of different things, interfacing it myself and have everything meet in the middle via MQTT, from there it's up to my imagination, currently trying out Node-RED for instance).

Since my house is rather small, I could probably use the BLE on my Pi.

Can anyone explain why credit cards are preferred in the US? In the Netherlands they're basically an obscurity, and I couldn't even pay for my groceries with one. We all have debit cards that charge directly from your bank here.

Just what does the CC system offer over debit?
Yeah I think it's interesting that companies will setup completely separate dev/prod databases but then grant all permissions to the the user. Roles are powerful and seem underutilized. Most of the time I only need read access so perhaps it's particular to my work, but why not use a dev role, that only has read access, for developing against production data?
Wouldn't it be better to simply start convincing your friends to use something more open, where you have choice of the client?
It feels like solving the problem from the wrong angle…
These things can be different: whether you take personal responsibility for a mistake, whether you are legally responsible for a mistake, whether your manager holds you responsible for a mistake, whether your team holds you responsible for a mistake, and whether a post-mortem report blames you for a mistake. It may be easier to take personal responsibility for a mistake if this isn't coupled with these other things.
They already do, don’t they?
Tweaking that stuff early on is so effective that it could almost be thought of as a "cheat code" for development. User perception is greatly enhanced by a few hours of tweaking padding spacing etc., rather than a few months or years of deferring that tweaking.

Don't just count the one lamp. A home will have dozen of bulbs. This remote lets you control all of the bulbs/lamps at once. Use Turn Touch to set scenes or interactively cycle through "random" scenes until you get the lighting you want.

Typically when I get home I press a single button and I get a single color for my apartment. If I'm not feeling that color, I press the button again and switch to another color. The other buttons let me adjust brightness and hue. The remote then also lets me control music and smart power plugs. It's really amazing to have everything wired up and controllable with only four buttons.

>I imagine if we used only UUIDs we would have to double or triple our database infrastructure

I think you're greatly exaggerating how big UUIDs are compared to ints. The upper bound is 4x, and that's if your table is keys only, with no other data. That falls down to 2x if you're using bigints. In a typical user table with a bunch of other fields, like a username + password hash, the storage used by the keys is quickly dwarfed by the storage used for "other data".
Guess I should check the site and not ask questions based on year old recollections :P

Very cool
> How is the country/continent of origin of a regulation that is entirely in your best interest of any relevance?

Laws carry their culture. GDPR is, from an American perspective, an overworked mess designed to support a big bureaucracy. This side of the Atlantic, we'd do something slimmer, more reliant on privately-funded cases (and regulatory complaints) versus public ombudsmen, and better attuned to start-ups’ needs.

>Why do you need an HTML renderer?

Because it's objectively easier to do cross-platform GUI development using a single, well-defined and portable API that someone else maintains.

That that API is nowadays de-facto WebKit supporting a HTML/CSS/JS stack is a natural, but unfortunate choice, and it's got a much lower barrier of entry and much less maintenance overhead than, say, Gtk+ or Qt.

>a regulation that is entirely in your best interest

>Regardless if you need a visa or not, you cannot (legally) stay more than 90 days every 180 days outside of the country you have a visa for.

Sure, you remain - until you become an EU resident/citizen - a foreigner and you don't have the same rights of an EU citizen.

What I was trying to say is that a Canadian citizen can come and stay up to 90 days in any EU country within the Schengen group without any need of any Visa.

The "Daueraufenthalt-EU" you are referring to is a sort of "intermediate status" that you may gain after having legally resided in Germany for 5 years, I presume there are similar provisions in other EU/Schengen countries as well.
A lot of people don’t care about fire safety either (until their house is burning down) which is why we have regulations, building codes, mandatory sprinklers in offices, etc.

I am starting to look at privacy like it should be treated as a public safety concern, since it’s invisible to people until it’s not.
Believe me, I stick with Nordic, and I think they stand the best chance at success. My overall point is that the system is basically at the point where it is nearly impossible to be a generalist, and very painful to be a specialist. So whats left?

The release of SDKs, and softdevices, and silicon are accelerating. If you are supporting customers on SDK12, who have heard about the shiny new features of SDK14, by the time you've signed the contract to do the migration, Nordic is imminently releasing SDK16. Forget the odd numbers in between.
