Ireland was kind enough to leave a grace period for closing the double Irish tax loophole and give companies time to switch to a new tax loophole.

The terms of service permits Google/YouTube to terminate an account for basically any reason. On a purely reactionary level, shooting at a company's employees is a pretty good reason for account termination.

Edit: As mentioned in an earlier thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16751945), apparently YouTube doesn't have a blanket account termination clause in the terms of service. I stand by my rationale, but want to make it clear that I actually got this wrong.
Mini Design Head Talks the Ways 3D Printing Could Change How Cars Look
When national legislatures call people to testify, that's not a neutral information-gathering exercise. The MPs are going into that panel with a very clear idea of what the witness is going to say, and how they can spin it towards their preferred talking points. Zuckerberg isn't a UK citizen and didn't authorize any misconduct specific to the UK; why should he personally participate in Parliament's ritual shaming of Facebook?
Ok, so I’m a US entity without EU presence and I violate EU law. Explain how this would impact me?
Firstly, my sympathies with the people at Youtube HQ. I have many, many friends in the bay area and so this kind of thing hits close to home.

Secondly, I struggle when thinking about if we should give airtime to a shooter's grievances, or reasons. Or even mention who they are. I tend to be on the side of: don't give them any air time. And certainly, don't acquiesce to this type of behavior because it is almost by definition "terrorism" (using violence to cause change in policies).

On the other hand, I have been hearing a lot about YouTube demonitization, censorship, etc. Should this shooting be a part of the discussion about censorship? Should YouTube and the tech community let it affect the discourse around censorship?

I don't know.
I actually don’t think SOAP was that bad. You didn’t want to deal with the API by hand but it was easy to automate the consumption of the API, visual studio was taking care of all of the plumbing for instance and you would consume an API in just a few clicks.
But then make it much more complicated by throwing away simultaneity.
Given that Gradle is here to stay... Can anyone share good resources for understanding Gradle?

With complex Makefiles, at least you have the sources and can try to understand the logic. With Gradle, it's all tons of compiled java code.
There is a video in which she's edited footage from "America's Got Talent" with footage of her performing a cringey act. Can't tell if it's meant to be tongue-in-cheek parody or if she's being delusional about being TV famous: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5dax32
Good luck with that. The cat's out of the bag, and this may be the shot that was heard round the world.
You made me scroll through the youtube TOS to see if that was considered a violation.

As far as I can tell it's technically not... in fact, I can't even find a blanket "YouTube reserves the right to remove any content, for any reason, whatsoever" statement. They don't actually need to state that in the TOS, because they do have that right, but, still.
My understanding of it is that HN/YCombinator would also have to be targeting EU customers directly, such as by offering the service in EU languages (english probably wouldn't count) or offering prices in EU currencies.
I wasn't comparing them, but pointing out a trend common to both.
Tell HN: The Bible is removed from Chinese online retailers
The Bible can no longer be found in the three main online retailers: Amazon, Taobao and Jindong.

hardly see their videos!

Yeah I think you’re onto something. I’m also sure that pictures of animals a lot of people in Youtube’s major markets see as pets being mutilated, generated scads of complaints. When you’re dealing with many millions of people, it is not unusual to respond to large concentrations of complaints. We should probably talk more about how thst works, and how it sometimes allows for careless or bad actors to silence people. Still, it’s understandable in a context other than attempting to be a censor, and just acting like a business. She comes across as angry and rigid in her views, but that describes quite a lot of people. Still, if someone “knows” something and is very angry, it can be hard to reach them.

But collecting the wall post in the first place, which was not necessary for any party, may in fact be illegal under this law. It says specifically that companies are to collect "the minimum amount of information necessary". If I put a box in front of you and encourage you to input highly personal data, such as what you had for lunch, who you voted for, what you're doing at work today, or how you're feeling today...am I not actively violating this law? There's at least an argument to be made that I am.
YouTube (and other social media services) usually take down the accounts of headline-making killers. You're asking if they should make an exception in this case?
Right, that's my point: I'm not the collective narrative, I'm an individual person, with a mix of beliefs and thoughts on any given subject. You apparently assumed I was projecting something (a narrative?), based on some past experiences you've had.

If your guess is incorrect about what I believe and why I'm saying what I am, what then? That's why you ask.
Just want to add onto this that pretty much everything Wire makes is open source. The backend (written in Haskell no less, which continues to amaze me), the desktop app and the mobile apps.
Footwear theory of Motivation
Check out the grasshopper primer. I haven't read it in a while but I used to claim it was written by programmers for non-programmers. Great getting-started guide. Rhino probably still has a demo available, too. Dynamobim.org is another option if you want to try visual programming without an investment. Dynamo is mostly visible for it's connections to other software, e.g., Revit, but can stand alone as in sandbox mode.

EDIT:Yes, it's that grasshopper https://www.rhino3d.com/6/new/grasshopper for a demo reel
Sounds like we agree that having a police officer on duty at schools that are "gun free" is a good idea.
Yes, the most data and the best AI people together means Google is always miles ahead IMO.
Looks like it. Considering that she would have needed to increase her views by 3 orders of magnitude to scratch out $100/month from them. She should have did affiliate marketing & patreon.
So to my understanding, the law does not actually refer to EU Citizens, and rather it refers to people within the EU (citizen or not).

I found this excerpt from https://cybercounsel.co.uk/data-subjects/ informative:

A Data Subject under GDPR is anyone within the borders of the EU at the time of processing of their personal data. However, they can also be anyone and anywhere in the context of EU established Data Controllers an Data Processors.

If the Data Subject, moves out of the EU border and say becomes an expat, or goes on holiday then their personal data processed under these circumstances is not covered by the GDPR and they are no longer a Data Subject in the context of the GDPR, unless their data is still processed by an organisation “established” in the EU.
Either she's hoping that a short digital trail will limit the damage this event will have on any political ambitions, or this event has caused such as rift between her and Zuck that he's intentionally keeping her out of the spotlight.

If the latter, expect her "resignation" for "family reasons" in about 60-90 days.
First two comments good for a world-weary chuckle:

1. Xenophobic, hateful comment about Muslims

2. Complaint about her suicide being a waste because "she's hot"

Still not sure why news websites bother with comment sections. I guess because it counts as "engagement?"
Just take it one day at a time. You got this man.

It turns out that when an organization applies rules arbitrarily, they eventually piss off the wrong person.
People need to realize that using "free" platforms, means they are beyond your control and your fate is up to their vagaries.

I'm against censorship (private censorship which takes political sides especially) but ultimately, unless you're hosting your own content, just enjoy what you get for free while you can and don't bank on it.

YT is not there to make _you_ money. They are there to make money for themselves. If you get in the way of that (via potential boycotts, online bandwagoning, etc.) they will likely cut you loose.

PS most of the censorship is done overseas, mostly SEAsia, not San Bruno, etc.
I don't think it's necessarily "know it all". Atleast for me, the subjectivity of morality merely means that everyone's morality is correct. Of course, I will disagree when someone claims something is a natural X or inherent Y, but that's a debate that both sides can leave satisfied, usually.
Not trying to argue, I don't know the GDPR details, maybe it's written that way, but that wouldn't matter. EU law does not apply to US corporations or citizens unless they are in the EU or are concerned about getting assets taken that are in the EU.
No, that is not what I am asking.

In parallel, there has been a conversation going on about demonitization, censorship, etc (see the removal of the gun videos recently). My question is, should such a shooting have any impact on that conversation? I feel like we should restrain ourselves from letting violent acts like this impact those conversations, even if the violent acts were done "in the name of" fighting against censorship
Judge threatens to bar O.C. from enforcing anti-camping
She’s obviously a weirdo, and while many thousands of weirdos operating on her level usually turn out to be harmless, if eccentric, she seems to willfully blunder into explicit and vulgar territory, with no understanding or appreciation for the chilling effect it has, and instead, reacting with confusion when it doesn’t go her way, seemed to court the negative attention further, without differentiating between the end games that each carries.

Negative attention tends to isolate, while positive attention holds opportunity for sustained returns. But she obviously was profoundly untethered from reality or consequence for too long.
One thing US politics has been phenomenal at is ensuring that there will never be organized resistance to the government. Divide and conquer is the name of the game. I do not think it's a coincidence that politicians seem to have been focusing on issues that are increasingly incendiary, arguably in lieu of more relevant issues.

When the country is split down partisan lines, it ensures that any action taken will also be cast in this light and demonized accordingly. And even better for the status quo, it can also be used to get people to even vote against their own interest. How many people voted for Hillary or Trump because they thought 'yes, this person truly represents my interests and views'? How many voted for them because they thought 'oh dear god the [other person] winning is simply unthinkable!'?

How did the American revolution happen? Aside from having a huge number of competent leaders, it was framed as a unified citizenry 'us' versus the outsider English politicians 'them'. And this is a general theme of revolutions. It is 'us' versus 'them' when 'us' is the people and 'them' is a detached government. Yet in the US 'us' means one half of the population and 'them' means the other half while the government seemingly works to further antagonize this divide.
Get therapy sooner.
It seems MX3D had the same thought judging from their demo video
Consider how you would get yourself out of prison. In one of those countries, you pay the bribe. There's problems with that, but we know it's a bribe.

In America, we can't bribe our way out of prison, because the corruption is so much deeper than that. You get sent to prison because of corruption you can't even see:

- the prison guard union lobbied the state congress for tougher pot laws via "campaign donations" so that their members have jobs

- the local police chief needs to be "tough on crime" so that the mayor gets reelected, manifesting in "stop and frisk" laws

- the local police department arrested you so they could confiscate your vehicle, via DOJ-aided civil forfeiture laws

- the police department negotiated a higher salary for their members, so long as it was cost-neutral, so now they need to ticket poor people to make money, which is how you got pulled over.

That's the gist of it (I haven't even gotten to private prisons, Fox News, or the NRA)! And don't this this is a Republican problem either, Democrats have been pretty bad at this sort of thing for the last 30 years too.
Or placing Google Ads that promote HN targeted in European countries, which seems like a more plausible situation.
In that scenario I could also write a quiz app that gives you your personality based on that export. That would be an amazing data set for a researcher at e.g. Cambridge and an example of the EU supporting researchers.
Nevertheless, 16 minutes old, it seems flagged and dead to me.
You’re missing the distinction between easy and profitable.

Going back to the top of the thread, the idea was that this is a decision that looks bad in a moment where everyone’s looking at Facebook.

If extending the behaviour worldwide were a difficult engineering feat, that’d provide a simple outward justification for Facebook to not bother.

But in reality, It’s more difficult to keep the two systems around.

Taking that path implies that Facebook actively benefits from breaking the EU law, and justifying it outwardly in the current climate means establishing how the EU law actively harms Facebook’s users... while not admitting that they violate user’s privacy, and profit from doing so.

[And as others have suggested... even if it’s the right move to implement things this way — it makes ~0 sense to draw attention to it.]
Concrete Mathematics is pitched at graduate students in computing. Spivak’s Calculus is an introductory real analysis book pitched at undergraduates who have gone through a computational calculus course already and want to study the subject more formally and rigorously; it has many difficult problems and would generally benefit greatly from the structure and expert feedback of a university course. Jaynes’s book is probably most relevant to science students who are at least at the advanced undergraduate level. How to Solve It is a dictionary of heuristic problem-solving techniques which is most useful to someone who is already (deeply) familiar with mathematical problem solving, and wants to codify their existing methods. Even advanced undergraduate math students who read it aren’t going to fully understand the book IMO; I would recommend Pólya’s other books (Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning, Mathematical Discovery), or maybe start with a gentler book like Mason, Burton, & Stacey, Mathematical Thinking.
LISP borrowed the "lambda" word from lambda calculus (not the Greek symbol). It didn't implement the lexical scope of lambda calculus, and provided lots of semantics other than lambda-calculus-like function application right off the bat.

Let's see: lambda calculus has no representation of its own code; it is not code. In lambda calculus, there is no QUOTE. There is no CAR nor CDR to walk around the code, no EVAL.

In lambda calculus, there is no mutation: no SETQ, no RPLACA.

Pure lambda calculus has no terms other than functions (unless extended); LISP had symbols, numbers, conses right off the bat. Arrays and character strings came soon.

All in all, equating Lisp with lambda calculus is silly.
Maybe they can't enforce against you now, but maybe you have investors and they balk at an EU judgement against you, or maybe you plan to one day expand to the EU and now you can't.
Brilliant execution!
It's a geolocation rather than a flag, although perhaps the "Current Location" profile field would be enough?

If I were FB I would want to cover my ass on that one and accept any signal at all that the user is within the EU. Just conjecture though.
It's fine if you're a huge artist like Beyonce, but I've read plenty of accounts from artists who bemoan Spotify's distinct lack of useful payout.

You get paid proportional to your plays, so even if you're a successful drum and bass artist, you're going to struggle to be supported by your fans via Spotify than via something like Bandcamp.

That's one of the reasons I went back to buying my music from Bandcamp/Beatport. I'll contribute significantly more to the artist than I ever would via streaming, and that's important if I like their work and want them to keep producing.
One of her complaints was that YouTube age-restricted her yoga videos (which were modest by Western standard, she was just wearing shorts, a shirt and no socks), while not age-restricting much more explicit Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus videos. Is there any explanation to why YouTube does this?
I wouldn't call three of those p2p and one of them doesn't even deserve the description "encrypted".

The probably is that the proper p2p encrypted messaging tools have a UI that either absolutely sucks or they have other, similar problems. Problems you have when you can't afford a UI/UX designer.

Can you supply an online tutorial of this approach using Gradle? ... I'm not sure what to google to find it myself (I don't use Gradle, but it sounds powerful).
YouTube should be smarter than having a Boolean for 'monetiziable'.

Eg, vegan channel showing animal cruelty should be marked as showing 'animal cruelty (newsworthy)' and advertisers should be able to say they do/don't want to advertise on the 'animal cruelty (newsworthy)' tag.

A big game hunting company might not want to advertise on that tag. Nor would a children's toy manufacturer. Fine.

But the RSPCA, an environmentalist politician, or The Body Shop might want to advertise and if I was a vegan I might want to give them my money.

> A vegan channel is someone showing how to make salads.

I can see that's the most common case, but check out for example /r/vegan - it's mostly content about vegan ethics.
The country was founded on the notion that all you have is the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So I rather defend myself.

If you want to “happily pay for” your own protection, you should hire your own bodyguard. I don’t want my taxes to go to your protection just because you want the government to solve all your problems.
What's the rational behind non-shared mutable state being good? State is a huge source of bugs even if you're just using it locally in my opinion.
If not a gun, it would be a bomb. They need to pay attention to people’s feelings about the whole demonetization thing (and to campus security). People tend to get irrationally pissed off about these online slights. All it takes is a pressure cooker, some black powder and ball bearings. One trip to Walmart, in other words.

This got too long, but to summarize my point there's a vast amount of content on the internet and those people feeling that someone not finding them via google is a cheat are over-reacting. The world is so big that there are lots of people no one ever hears about, who may be doing interesting stuff. Feeling that people don't find your cool stuff is a complaint you can make against google, facebook, instagram, maybe bing if anyone used it, any indexing site.

For every person that youtube or whatever other ranking site give them lots of viewers, there are millions of people posting stuff that hardly anyone ever sees. It's not a conspiracy that no one really watches my son's youtube game discussion site. There are thousands of videos every day created with similar content.

So all these people mad that they don't have lots of viewers, a bunch of that can be explained because there are lots of people doing the same thing.

Now for the people who used to get lots of views and then things drop off after a google ranking change, sure, the change must have had some impact. So your site with videos in say Farsi about how to exercise with a particular style of workouts, probably there are 100 other people doing videos for working out in Farsi or whatever. There's basically no way google or anyone else can balance it out. They make changes that they think will serve their users. Google works for a lot of people because it's a good clearing house. But it's good for people cause they can find things they want. Google cannot show all the thousands of videos every day on say fortnight. But my son's video game discussion site hardly gets any views. but thats because he's not famous and he's not doing anything that other people are.

I also think people try to make their site go higher by paying for links to their site. In a previous job, (I heard) they paid someone who was a wikipedia editor to create entries for their company and the founder, of course this is a known problem.

I think I'm sounding like a google or big company apologist. I have seen a similar issue in phone apps. My friend had a bunch of android and ios programs for tracking various things that he sold for a dollar, and the ideas got copied by people doing similar things multiple times and now he's just one person is a sea of solutions. He used to get a few $100 a month from people buying his $1 software, now he gets $5. It's not a conspiracy.
Ummm, you just posted about exactly that.
> If you manage to fit two languages, then you're essentially writing the same language in two different syntaxes.

Please dear god no.

Bandcamp is maybe one of the few examples of a service/shop that actually benefits artists and fans. Having them bought out by some VC tech behemoth will almost certainly see their offering ruined.
That is exactly something I'd play hours of! I love roguelikes, and have always wanted to get into MUDs -- I've tried many -- but they never hold my attention long enough.

Even tiled ASCII characters would be a huge boon; I think it's the fact that I can't easily imagine the entire game area through text. If I was able to at least "see" the squares around my character, I could better spatially orient myself. Almost every time I've quit a MUD has been because I got bored trying to pour through the docs/guides to figure out how I ended up somewhere.

I imagine an ASCII multiplayer game is more complex when it comes to netcode though. Perhaps the reason so many MUDs have survived is because they don't require nearly as much server infrastructure to support?
Interesting how much money, despite our view of it as numbers, is deeply tied to culture.
