Sadly, too many US websites don't allow this, I ended up having to get a CC (and pay for it!) just to deal with US bullshit websites demanding a CC. That CC cost me more in fees than I've ever kost in debit transactions.

Yeah, I got a first response within a few hours...... To a message about a critical accounting error Coinbase reported to the IRS. I sent the message in early March and -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- I haven't heard back since. It's cool, though. It's not like all of this paperwork is due like, in less than two weeks or anything.
is pseudonymisation really a new thing? We do this with prod data for our dev and staging database. a subset of a dump is processed and names, emails and other PIIs are replaced with random strings, etc.

Not only it makes the data handling safe and anonymised, you also avoid crazy stuff like mistakenly sending a batch email to prod users while you are testing stuff in dev/prod (been there, done that).

I found that clever when I first saw we were doing that, but it seemed simple enough that I just assumed every company did it.

The hardest CS undergraduate course offered is probably 189: Introduction to Machine Learning. Nonetheless that class has a B+ average; so I wouldn’t say difficulty of class correlates with a low grade average. There are others like 170 and 162 which you can check out.

If my memory holds, there’s a policy that class averages should be around 3.0-3.3 (B/B+).

As a teen, I worked at a vitamin store.

They thrived on ignorant people. Their customers were rich and middle class. No one questioned where the supplement was manufactured, or The Placebo Effect.

We had to ware these Dr. Smocks, and once that clown suit went on, it seemed like the customers just believed. Body builders were the worst, but boy were they good customers.

I'm still shocked over people whom are swayed into buying vitamins with colorful packaging, or bottles designed to look like they were manufactured in a pharmaceutical company. So many vitamins/supplicants are made in a garage somewhere.

I really thought by now the average consumer would be more savvy?

(And those huge Vitamin stores, with no customers--well some days; I wonder if they are just fronts for laundering money?)
This is technology that has a clear benefit over the old. The effect that is shown from Bambi is a huge leap forward. Current 3D movie technology has not been as big a leap for me. Whenever I watch a 3D movie I always think that it would have been mostly the same in 2D and it would have been more comfortable to watch the movie without the glasses/headset. The effect of the multiplane camera however lifts the scene to a completely new level without the comfort disadvantages.

Also, this might be one of the best informational videos I have seen in a long time. The ease with which the issues and solutions are explained shows us that the producers of this video understand the domain very well.

I agree with your observations. Even though we also have to consider that this video and the text for it was probably written or edited or at least administered by Walt Disney himself. You can see that Mickey is kind of communicating with Walt Disney on the video. That means the cartoon on the video was made just to show this piece of technology. I think we can say that this video is a way to show the technology of Disney at that time. It's kind of an advertisement for a big coporation.

On the other hand Youtube videos are made by people trying to make a living through those videos. None of these Youtubers can have the resources and motivation compared to Walt Disney himself to shoot a scene which can be watched and enjoyed even after 71 years later because your videos has to be produced quickly.
From your page:
> The recommended dietary allowance is 15 µg/d (600 IU per day; 800 IU for those over 70 years). Overdose has been observed at 1,925 µg/d (77,000 IU per day).

So it seems you could even take 10x the recommendation and be fine. The risk of a reasonable supplement pushing you into overdose territory seems negligible.
The EU has been moving towards more standardization for quite a while now. The most prominent example is the euro coin. And although the GDPR may seem to many like another regulation to comply to, it's actually a unifying regulation because now you don't have to deal with separate privacy laws for each member state.

This is NOT really that big of an issue. We make it this way because USA does not have any serious regulations on data privacy. In most European countries if someone offers your info, such as DOB, credit card balance, property ownership, a prosecutor knocks on his doors with handcuffs, even if temporary. And if you ran major bulk operation, you go behind bars for many years.

No scandal in USA will make any difference if we don't implement draconian laws. Looks what's going on around GDPR; it's not here YET meanwhile everyone knows about it and every email provider shakes his pants. Every company I do business with already send me some sort of acknowledgment or their own policy to accommodate GDPR and these are not even European companies!

I am all for small government, but we clearly need a brand new Department that will regulate such behemoths like Youtube (which has power to squash your first amendment) and Google/Facebook et al that continuously makes money off of their immoral behavior with your information.

"Specifically, APNIC will be permitted to access query names, query types, resolver location and other metadata via a Cloudflare API, that will allow APNIC to study topics like the volume of DDoS attacks launched on the Internet and adoption of IPv6."

I interpret "query names" as some values obtained from DNS queries hitting 1.1.1.1, e.g. "foo.example.com".

Is your answer to "What data do you provide to APNIC?" complete in the statement above?

Thanks for clarifying.

Vitamin D supplementation for vitamin D deficiency that is quite common is not controversial at all.

If you mean taking more D than is needed, your are correct.

You can measure the D vitamin levels from blood serum.

< 30 nmol/L is vitamin D deficiency

30 - 50 nmol/L is considered inadequate

50 - 125 nmol/L is adequate

> 150 nmol/L evidence of potential adverse effects

Adequate level has increased over the years.

> if doing GPL stuff use the open source license from ExcelsiorJET.

Thanks for mentioning our product, but I have to make a few corrections:

First, the Excelsior JET Runtime license is sadly not GPL-compatible. Also, you cannot use it to target embedded systems, unless you buy Excelsior JET Embedded and pay royalties, though we are currently weighing the option to switch to OpenJDK to eliminate the latter.

Second, the Standard Edition is free even for commercial use (the above limitations apply).

Finally, other editions are available at no cost for use in public non-commercial projects. It does not matter whether the (software part of the) project is open source or not.

See https://www.excelsiorjet.com/free for details.
ImageNet has been won over and over very much by improvements on "what other people were doing" for the past 6 years, with incremental improvements on convnets.

Ask HN: How would you keep 2 APIs in sync?
Since Mulesoft's acquisition I've been thinking how I would build something similar. A couple of projects I'm involved in have mentioned "We need bi-directional sync between Salesforce and X, Y and Z", which has always been followed by "but MuleSoft and PieSync cost serious $$$$$".

Have have/would you build it? The resources I've found are about syncing files between two endpoints, or databases between mobile devices and the server (which is similar, but often encapsulated in the storage).

I already have a page of edge-cases where data would be incorrectly overwritten. E.g.:

09:00:00 Data polled from systems A and B (for these are 'enterprise' systems without webhooks or notifications or changefeeds)
09:00:01 A record (which is in the polled batch) is changed in system A
09:00:07 The changes are written back to each system, OVERWRITING THE CHANGE IN SYSTEM A MADE AT 09:00:01

Without the ability to lock system A while the sync is done, I don't see how this can be prevented?
References appreciated; I'm on holiday soon and up for a lot of reading. StackExchange has been very silent; 'ESB' and 'bi-directional sync' aren't the right keywords?

Finally, any open source implementations I should look at?
Twitter explains how it is fighting fake news menace
Because the "manual" driver will almost always be at fault and the automated drivers will have the telemetry to prove it. For example, I recently got hit while backing out of my parking space--I'm legally at fault because of how the collision occurred. The fact that the other driver had tremendously excessive speed (a center mass hit on a Prius that literally lifted it onto the SUV sitting next to it) wasn't proveable by me--a self-driving car will not have that problem.

This means that the insurance companies with more "manual" drivers will be paying out more often and will adjust the insurance rates to compensate.

From a developer's point of view, Electron solves that problem. It's not about what the underlying library is, it's about what the whole package does.

> Not my area but putting together a build script that outputs different formats (for an app that just requires some file copying for install) can't be that bad. Python in particular has lots of options for cross-platform packaging and distribution. (py2exe, etc)

All the pieces are there, but no-one's put them together in a nice, well-supported way. Packaging a python application like that is a bunch of tedious manual gruntwork that's easy for a beginner to get wrong.

Out of curiosity, would people mind elaborating on the reason for the down votes?

If you've looked at the template and there was something you thought to be sub-standard, then I'd love to know what people would do differently.

If the down votes were because I made another React template, then, ah, that's somewhat understandable. Although, as I've stated, it was created for our own internal use, and was simply open sourced because we love open source and giving back to the community. Additionally, at the time of creation there absolutely weren't any full-scale open source projects (templates or otherwise) available using Babel 7 and Webpack 4. Actually, Babel 7 is still not officially released yet, so there really aren't many even now.

If the down-votes were because you think the comment is unrelated to the source article, well... I don't know precisely how to respond to that critique. However, the article (and this discussion) is regarding the underlying principles of React and the linked project is a practical implementation of React (and the underlying principles). I've specifically added a new root level comment rather than piggy-backing off other unrelated comments, which is unfortunately commonly seen on HN.

Is the sharing of related (non-competing) open source projects seen as poor etiquette?
There used to be a 17" MacBook Pro. Last one came out in 2009. It was a bit of a beast to carry around, but not prohibitively so. It was .98 inches thick and weighed 6.6 pounds. The current 15" MacBook Pro is .61 inches and weighs 4.02 pounds. So not a huge difference. I commuted on the bus and subway with a 17" pro with only minor discomfort.

It had gigabit ethernet, FW800, three USB ports, 1 thunderbolt port, ExpressCard/34 slot, audio in, audio out.

With the exact same form factor and updated ports, Apple could offer a hell of a Pro Macbook Pro. Just give it a 4k screen and an option for a second SSD in the space formerly used by a DVD drive.

As a second order to this effect, I've noticed a general "clumping", so to speak, of timeless machines and designs in general, that seem to originate in the late 1940s, and the 1950s, likely due to the unprecedented rise in the United States overall fortunes, after WWII. It's almost like John Kennedy "tricked" us to thinking that he initiated the US involvement in the space race, instead of the natural IP transfer that occurred from Germany to both the US and Soviet Union as the spoils of victory.

Mid Century Design is even an acknowledgement of this concept, in my opinion.
