> Most people under 50 will speak English at a decent level.

Most people, period.

In fact the Dutch speak English so well that it is hard for an English speaking foreigner to learn Dutch because everybody will automatically switch to English at the first sign of foreignness.
The best way is to have a girl/boyfriend that only speaks english. The second best way is to move to a country where they speak english and avoid people who is not native. So basically the way to becoming fluent in english is to use it as much as you can. Movies, books also help, but for communication you need to talk a lot.
I agree. I think gnunet gets a lot right.
That's likely because it's flamebait that leads to partisan flamewars, which are off topic and destructive of the site.

Community colleges do not offer bachelor's degrees. They only offer associate's degrees, which are a 2 year program, and do not confer the same expected income potential as a bachelor's degree. That's what this article is about; do two years at a community college to get the GE classes out of the way, and then transfer to a four year university to get your degree. It's actually extremely common; it's what I did, and I only spent about $15k to get my bachelor's in computer science.

However, it's important to ensure that your intended university has an articulation agreement with whichever community college you're attending. In California, the IGETC certificates are accepted by all University of California and California State University campuses, and the CSU-GE Breadth certificates are accepted by all California State University campuses, but not UC campuses.
It certainly added evidence to my view that cycling is a useful form of transit in dense cities. It also added the element of people making deliberate choices in where to live based on transport methods.

On the other hand, you have a history of adding comments like this. Good luck with that.

Edit: I noticed you are editing your comment. When I replied it read "This comment, as nice as it may have sounded to you, doesn't contribute anything to the conversation - in fact, it amounts essentially to bragging."
My method of game development usually consists of the gradual unfurling of a playground area where I create, test, and refine all the controls, mechanics, enemies, and environments in the game in a jumbled, haphazard mishmash.

Then I start incorporating them into production levels, build out an intro zone, etc.

The test zone pattern isn't really a conscious decision, but it almost invariably develops in everything that I end up shipping.

I like Mark Cerny though. I wonder if the 'Cerny Method' was used for Sonic 3 (as an aside, though Sonic 3 is a great game, it contains one of the single worst video game UX nightmares of all time — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FogRh7CALFY).
How do you know a user consented to that when one computer could be used by many people?
When I came to US, we had the cheapest cable plan, and it has the C-SPAN channel. Very boring but there were no commercial interruptions. So I just followed the speakers loudly with the subtitle turned on. I thought it worked very well years later.
My parents worked multiple jobs, still had the time to make selections of titles to give me - or not.

This is not a corporation's job. Multiple streaming services have kid sections, downloading actual files that are the ones you want your child to see, etc.

Curating content for your children has never been faster or easier, so...how'd our parents do it?

Why is it? Do you mean marketing people rather than webmasters? Won't webmasters have logs?
While for absolute privacy this makes sense, from a lazy ISP dev perspective, why log packets/IPs if you can get marketing data straight from your DNS servers?
Surely ISPs have taken this easy approach while encryption has been only for fringe users?
- school (grade school, high school)

- Hollywood (movies in NL are as a rule subtitled)

- Reading (the public library, second hand bookstores, the internet)

- Work (An American Bank, working all over the planet)

- Running an online business

- Living in Canada for a number of years

- Writing (blogging, HN)

Each of those contributed in some way, it is still not perfect. It likely never will be, there is no substitute for being born in an English speaking country but at the same time there are many people that are born in such a country that have the most horrible accents or that couldn't spell if their lives depended on it.

Language mastery is never done, it just keeps getting better at an ever reducing rate.
Tebahpla, Inc -- a small company with 3 employees a gross yearly income of ~450k files for a patent and gets it granted for 20 years. Tebahpla then licenses that patent only to Google, for 20 years, for $10 a year.

Ask HN: GDPR and small SAAS?
As a small SAAS with few customers in the Europe, how do you deal with GDPR?
It is a company with many, many more employees, executives, and shareholders. In that respect, your rhetorical question doesn't make sense to me, because I don't think of companies as large as FB (today, or in 2010) as having traits as easily quantifiable as they are for individual humans. Whether Zuckerber had his own road to Damascus moment is only part of the equation -- his innate desire to commit felony-level hacking may also be curtailed by his realization that his actions receive far more scrutiny than they did back when FB did not answer to nor have the attention of shareholders, regulators, and policymakers.
If anything, you might learn a _cooler_ English by reading the Bible! :-)
Your statements here are pretty ridiculous. SO many developers use a Mac because it’s a wonderful environment. I feel like you’ve never used a Mac based on your comments.
As a Canadian, if I am also an eCitizen of Estonia, will the GDPR protect me from EU-based companies?

Or do I have to actually _live_ in the EU to be protected?

Looks like https://www.arqbackup.com/ might meet your needs. I haven’t used it personally though, my only reservation has been that it’s not open source.

The unofficial google drive linux CLI supports encryption with custom keys too.
I don't think they'll tell engineers to make the experience bad. I used to work for Google, and it doesn't strike me as the place where that would work. More likely is that there just isn't anyone responsible for this; whether that's due to iPad being too small to be worth the opportunity cost of putting someone one it, or due to the more cynical interpretation.
That definitely looks like normal recursive descent- it has functions `Script`, `Statements`, `Statement`, `FunctionDefinition`, `Expression`, etc.
That, and there is little excuse not to set apache2 or nginx to only allow tls1.2 with the best choices in crypto options. The population of client browsers that are so old they don't do 1.2 is extremely tiny.

In the US is there a possibility of a 1st Amendment challenge? The act of recording information could be seen as speech or publication.

If we take computers out of the argument it would look like this: the government telling people that they can not take notes or make records of information that they hear. Case law has found, for instance, that photography in public (which is making records) can not be banned.
I am not arguing, I am genuinely wondering what you guys want. I have read multiple assertions that Linux is broken but no clear explanation of what it should be doing differently.

For reference, I have been using Linux continuously on all sorts of hardware since 1994. What I lack is any practical experience using modern Windows or Mac OS, so I have no idea what implicit expectations you may be bringing from those. The last time I ran Windows directly on hardware was before Windows 95 was released, and similarly my only real Mac experience was on monochrome classic Macs before OS X existed.

Over the years, I have used just about every sort of display hardware with Linux, ranging from serial terminals, Hercules monochrome graphics, 800x600 through 1600x1200 CRTs, the first wave of DVI-based LCDs, various HDTVs, the first DLP projectors, and my current dual 4K monitors. I was also involved in the early testing and deployment of 2D and 3D accelerators on Linux, as well as things like clusters driving arrays of projectors. We even had one of those IBM "Big Bertha" displays in our lab at one point, which was one of the first 300 DPI LCD monitors available. Just about the only thing I haven't used with Linux is head-mounted displays nor stereo glasses. My last involvement with VR was 20 years ago when SGI Onyx-based CAVE systems were prevalent in academia, combining head-tracking, active shutters, and multiple wall projectors.

But, to be honest, I have no use case to combine different DPI monitors into a single graphical screen or desktop. If I connect a laptop to a projector or display panel for presentations, I tend to just want to duplicate the presentation view on the internal screen. Otherwise, I use the laptop to be mobile and I use workstations with their dedicated displays.
I don't mind being downed for an unpopular opinion, but calling out fake doctors should not be a reason to get flagged... And yes they are fake doctors.
You are still going to display a popup to know if user is aware of his setting for a particular website.
That might be more apropos for learning Chinese (where premature focus on reading/writing can distract from actually learning the (spoken) language). I think in learning English, reading will help, because the sound/spelling correspondence is sufficient (even though English arguably has the worst orthography after the logographic ones).
"There is no way to detect the ability to avoid SNI..."

Assuming one is using an SNI-enabled browser.

I dont use an SNI-enabled browser to make the first encrypted HTTP request.

In fact I didnt even say I was using a "browser". I said "https client".

For example, one can use an https client that has SNI disabled or which has no SNI code at all, or one can send any string as the servername in ClientHello.1 If the server responds with hostname not found, then retry using SNI and the desired hostname. IME, most TLS-enabled websites do not require SNI.

Sorry it’s taking a really long time to load the list so I gave up.
Prototyping is a must especially on the game mechanics and to find the fun.

It is a moot effort to build out the game until you have refined the game mechanic and the fun aspect. Iterations need to be quick and with as little tech weight as possible.

Even in small prototypes you can find fun that you could have never planned for, and see when something you thought would be fun just isn't yet or work with it to make it fun.

Finding the fun is the most unknown part of a development so it must be in the playground/sandbox and iterated on quickly.

Playtesting is also important but prototyping usually has lots of that from the developer themselves even.

That also wouldn’t work over iMessage.

I’d like to know if this is actually being done in the wild. Certainly once caught would be banned from the App Store and possibly a lawsuit or two filed.

The author didn’t note that a new thread would have started on iOS, which would provide some visual feedback that something was different. You could click for further info and see the different number. I know it would foil most but it’s something.

> It's worth mentioning that encrypted DNS is not just about privacy, but also integrity. It's more difficult to intercept or spoof in hostile networks.

That’s why we all have DNSSEC enabled on our domains, right? Right?
Unfortunately my household had pretty high income but wasn't really available to the children due to my mother being sick and my father being pretty bad with money. But I did get a Pell Grant and a similar state grant once I aged into FAFSA independece, which meant the only thing I had to pay for my second year at our state flagship was food.
> I know for the underground, all profit is reinvested, maybe that's the problem in America? Many contractors all wanting their share? At the end of the day you just have to accept that while a good public transport system looks like a big loss on paper, it brings so many benefits.

Except the Underground more or less breaks even from fare revenue (Google "farebox recovery"). NYC's MTA does not, and is heavily subsidized by tax dollars.
Which piece resembles your color perception for #theDress image?
The other day, I had to take the wrong train in the wrong direction, and switch to another wrong train in the right direction (which only operated this way on that day). It was so counterintuitive that I spent 2 hours or more trying to figure all this out, reading signs, asking station agents and listening to announcements.

> "it's mostly a problem caused by the sheer population density"

That might seem like the obvious reason, but it's not the case at all. Read up on the NYC subway and its recent problems and their causes. Politicians use the growth in ridership as a scapegoat. There's more to the story than that. There's no physical/mathematical reason why a metro system of a bigger scale is precluded from running well.

Here's an article that offers a glimpse into various other angles and reasons:

Huh? No, you still have no point. Your point would only make sense if they only had "western" languages and then the pointless toy languages, but that's not the case at all.
Not necessarily. Back when I used Comcast I got much faster browsing speeds by using a proxy over a VPN to a linode server, even though that server was in another state.
Dropbox and Apple equally. But I work at Dropbox and I know how much effort goes into trust, security, privacy and compliance. Also for your interest the underlying infrastructure with its security measures etc is common between both Personal and Business products (one of the main differences with the business product is that it allows you to hook into your own enterprise security related systems such as IdM, DLP/CASB, SIEM, malware scanning etc as well as control security settings for the whole “team” (mandate 2FA, set password strength levels and device approvals etc)
As far as I've researched, no. GDPR is open to the sorts of tracking that is used to make your product better. In the case of google analytics, you're watching for aspects of your product or blog that are doing well so you can produce more of the content viewers like.

One of the caveats though, is that you shouldn't be able to identify a specific user. So, you would need to anonymize the IP addresses you're tracking [1]. My understanding is that you should not be tracking or storing information that can be used to identify a single user. So cookies are ok, but you have to ask permission for any cookie that can be used to personally identify a user.

But tellingly, virtually only in the US. Other common law countries which had it, abolished it for being unconstitutional.

In any case, calling the (lawful) killing of a kid by the police a murder by an accomplice, is making a mockery of the term murder and of justice in general.
At least a determined propagandist would need to corrupt every state media in the EU, much harder than just one.

None EU media would still exist.

Several UK media outlets use paywalls already, presumably they too would remain.
I really wish there was an additional implementation in something like Rust (personal preference, but C would be good as it's fairly easy to bind to) for DAT, because what they're doing is rather cool and the experience is tidy.

Magnetic media on the plane might be unhappy.
My sense of injury (or lack thereof) doesn't really have anything to do with my opinion of meesterdude's pointlessly contrarian and somewhat bizarre behavior.

Yah, dell seems to be returning to their early 2000's level of quality. I purchased a dell notebook a little over a year ago. Exactly 13 months in the motherboard died, although thanks to the fact that I purchased it from a 3rd party reseller that apparently didn't report the sold date properly dell repaired it for free. I've had a number of associates who told me similar stories about their recently purchased dell's, so its common enough that purchasing a dell as anything other than a throw away machine is probably not a good plan.
I've been shopping around for something like this. I currently just use BetterTouchTool with Windows-like shortcuts for window management.

"The first place" would be not collecting it, an option that companies are seriously considering for nonessential data that they previously collected merely because it was convenient and accepted to do so.
How is this the 'Uber' of anything? AirBnb was first, then Uber was 'the AirBnb' of transportation which began a pattern, so we say the 'uber of _' in reference to the sharing economy and it rolls off the tongue better.

PopWheel is just creating mobile charging infrastructure. We don't call Zipcar the uber of anything.

One of the most remarkable obstacles when trying to shave off any accent or just trying to hone in your grammar skills is lack of understanding of the language learning process by most native English speakers, as most of them can only speak their own language, if so.

Best advise I can give is, move to a country where English is broadly spoken (Scandinavian countries come to mind) and work in one of many English-speaking companies there. It'll be much easier to shake off at least most of the grammar mistakes (ESL speakers are actually rather proud of their grammar skills) and hopefully also soften any regional accent. As a bonus, you might also catch some other language basic skills. In the EU, NL and BE (Brussels area) are also good choices.
Sorry, I meant that the experience for riders becomes miserable because of the population density (the third paragraph). If delays just meant waiting on an uncrowded platform for an uncrowded train, it wouldn't be nearly as much of a sore point.

I certainly agree with you that population density isn't the root cause of the recent subway issues - as evidenced by the fact that Tokyo's train system is working just fine.
I got burgled back in July and the burglars came somewhat close to getting everything, fortunately they didn't take my NAS. After discussing with friends, I did buy Arq and I've been _very_ happy with it.

I then went and bought 1TB of Google Drive and now all my photos and anything else is backed up onto both Google Drive and my NAS. It's all encrypted so yeah, should be safe enough. The handy thing about the 1TB Google space is that it's shared amongst all their products, so, I don't need to think about running out of Gmail space either.
Hopefully it has been fixed, but last time I used iOS, the phone/messages app seemed to mix up contact info from identical numbers with different area codes. So if I had 206-555-5555 in my address book, and got a call or message from 503-555-5555, it would show the contact info from the 206 entry.
+1.

I'm tired of hearing people make excuses for the NYC subway system such as age and complexity, seemingly ignorant that there's plenty of large cities in other first-world countries in the 10+ million range that do a much better job. Tokyo was bombed to the ground in WW2 and still manages to do better.

I think the actual explanation is that the NYC system was not properly maintained during the postwar period, when America focused on car transit instead.

Although plenty of people complain, there is no political will to fix the problem, either at the top or at the bottom.

The 24/7 operation and fixed ticket price don't help.
I did that in high school instead of going to my state's elite public boarding school and transferred 66 credits into my state school. In retrospect it was a huge mistake, my outcomes since pale in comparison to the folks that graduated from the elite school (though it's possible the same would have happened).
The real kicker is that the P51 with a Xeon E3-1535M v6, 64GB ECC RAM, Quadro M2200, 1TB SSD, and 4K screen costs about $500 less than the 15" MBP with 1TB storage. The weight difference compared to "thin and light" 15 inch models isn't even that dramatic, it's all of one and a half pounds heavier than the MBP or one pound heavier than the XPS 15.
I would experiment with liquid smoke in marinades and long, ‘wet’ cooking times (rotisserie if possible). But I’m a vegan now, so I just get to put the liquid smoke directly into my seitan ;)

Definitely buy the most liquid smoke you can reasonably store and use. A gallon or a quart has been maybe 10% the cost of similar volumes purchased in smaller bottles.

Also, I’m considering deleting my comment thanks to the downvotes. I’m guessing it’s because I revealed I’m a vegan, despite the fact that I made valid cooking suggestions for meat. Nothing about anything I said was judgemental.
