I think most people know that these things are basically digital pyramid schemes, but they think they're getting in at the top and will be smarter than the other suckers and will get out before it collapses.

This is also why they collapse so fast. It's basically a race to not be left holding the bag.

I think you are all misunderstanding the purpose of all of this. Google and government are working together to relieve you of as many rights and freedoms as possible. What one can't accomplish, the other can, which is why they work in conjunction. As far as crimes go, all will be guilty of "serious" crimes in the future because it is the easiest way to strip you of your rights as a citizen.

It's just all so obvious what is going on here.
It is also so much easier to throw/recycle a $30-40 product and upgrade to something nicer. This is one of the product strategy Apple executed with phones.
Also, actual cause of death was drowning which removes some suspicion of involvement from the other sailor since the drowning likely took place much later and further away from his departure.

Kudos to the captain for being very responsible and secretly turning the ship around on suspicion his men were involved.
Ask HN: Resources to learn on how to self-build a house(home)?
I have read many articles where some people self-built their home. It's inspiring. Want to check if they are any valuable resources online or connections to talk to, on how to self-build a home. Nothing fancy in plan. Just a 200 square yard plot with 1500-2000 sq ft construction in two or three levels

At least in Clojure, (defn my-function [] ...) is syntactic sugar for (def my-function (fn [] ...)), removing one level of nesting.
The states that permanently disenfranchise felons are mainly ex-Confederate. It is the legacy of the institutional race-based class system of the South. It was used with racial profiling and fraudulent eye-witness testimony against African-Americans to form Jim Crow v2 after Civil Rights.

It's become cliche to bring racism into unrelated topics, but it's the one thing that makes most of the puzzling things about America make sense. It's too bad many people in tech culture don't give importance to American history (either because they're foreigners who were never taught these things or because of their "pure" engineering mindset [which is itself a cultural product]), so end up aggravating old social ills.
Could you give me an example, please? I really can't think of a situation when a crime is so irrelevant that nobody cares (and thus the record isn't needed) and yet the record destroys lives (and that proves that people care, BTW) and thus must be deleted.

Been there, done that.

We built a heavily asynchronous back-end communications service in Go a year or two ago. It was a great learning experience. I learned that I don't like Go and its limitations and design choices first hand, wrote a bunch of notes about what I did and didn't like (mostly didn't like), and moved on.

We had chosen Go to use for the reasons others here have commented about (especially the part about enabling relatively inexperienced software engineers to be productive quickly), but in the end I felt it sacrificed too much on that altar and I would rather spend more time mentoring and training our software engineers to use tools I felt were better.

It's mostly a matter of opinion, like I said - with sufficient dedication you can pretty much do anything with any language. But I'm not investing any more time into Go when I have other tools out there (like Clojure, Rust, Haskell, Common Lisp, C#, various BEAM languages, Ruby/Python, etc.) that I find to be uniformly more pleasant to use.
This was part of a collection of four essays on mathematical writing, commissioned by the American Mathematical Society:

The committee was authorized by the Council of the American Mathematical Society in August 1968; the last appointment to it was made by Oscar Zariski, then president, in March 1969. The charge was to prepare "a pamphlet on expository writing of books and papers at the research level and at the level of graduate texts."

In May 1969, two months after the committee was completed, one of its members resigned. He said he thought the project was too interesting to leave to a committee, which would never get it done properly, and he said he wanted to be free to write and publish his version independently. Norman Steenrod (the chairman) declined to accept the resignation, preferring to allow the member the freedom he sought. This left the exact membership of the committee up in the air.

The work of the committee proceeded mainly on Steenrod's steam; he wrote to the other members (in triplicate), and occasionally they would write an answer (to him alone). The committee met only once (for an hour, at the Eugene meeting in August 1969, with three present). The result of the correspondence and the meeting was the decision to present to the Council, as the product of the committee, four separate essays, one by each of the four members, with the recommendation that the Society publish them, together, as this book. > > A year later (in August 1970) Steenrod had at hand only one essay. A year and six months later (in March 1971) that essay was published. (L'Enseignement Mathématique, 16 (1970), 123-152.) Even so, Steenrod was still hoping; he set August 300, 1971 as a target date for the receipt of all the essays. The solution he proposed for the problem created by the already published essay was to reprint it as is, as part of the AMS publication, provided the editors and publishers of L'Enseignement Mathématique agreed. They did.

Steenrod died in October 1971, before quite completing his own essay. Before he died he asked, through his wife, that his nearly finished work be prepared for submission to the council and presented together with the others. That was done.

The other three essays are excellent as well and I recommend that you check out all of them. All of the authors are excellent mathematical expositors, though perhaps not as well-known as Halmos outside of the academic mathematics community. Dieudonné in particular had quite an illustrious writing career as well, having been part of the Bourbaki group as well as Grothendieck's EGA project.
I think this is one of these "doesn't work" that come to analytical mind when presented in a short form and the reason this idea is not more popular.

It would be, if the ranking would be global and not through the lens of your network.

You can have the most popular coder A, he does lot's of video tutorials and blogs. But you have your finely cured network regarding this technology because you are pro yourself. You know that according to people you trust, A is just good. B on the other hand, who never worked for his popularity and whose skills are only known to few other pros who worked with him, is excellent.

That is what you need web of trust for. That's what you likely use today. It's just without strictly specified protocol, using your brain as a storage and meetings with your friends or conferences as a communication channel. It can be improved and made more efficient.
Of course not because if say a tabloid news paper finds out about some one they dislike or want to sell papers - they will "monster" them.

Yes, it is. The legal definition of deletion under EU data protection laws is to make the data unusable and inaccessible. Marking for deletion (as deleting from a recycling bin does) is sufficient under those rules.

Deleting the image ID and leaving the content on a CDN is not acceptable - but that's not what I said.
Kentucky's state income tax rate is between 2-6%. If it would only take 20% increase in state tax receipts to make their pension system solvent, that's just a little over 1% increase in effective tax rate, which would still leave KY in the lower half of states by tax burden. If you make the tax rate change a bit more progressive, say 2% at the top, it could be zero change in income tax burden at median income and below.

Kentucky also gives favorable tax treatment to retirement and pension income, so if you wanted to reduce a percived moral hazard of who pays and who benefits, KY could simultaneously reduce the preference given to lower the required rate changes further.

Increased taxes can solve the situation fairly trivially, and still leave KY in the middle of the pack for total tax burden.
GP is not assuming anything. Literally the first paragraph in the post:

> The man, who has not been named due to reporting restrictions surrounding the case, wanted search results about a past crime he had committed removed from the search engine.

Any example of somebody being abused/targeted and Google refusing to remove them from search results? The only cases where they fought back were people trying to hide their criminal record (most often politicians, white collar crime).

Not only. It also implies widely inflated and hyperbolic accusations.
Dollar figures in cases like this shouldn't be trusted. ICO scammers have an incentive to make it look like they're getting more investment than they really are, since that gets them more attention. They can easily achieve this through self-dealing--taking their own money and giving it to themselves under another identity. They can even reuse the same money to do this multiple times; that would leave evidence on the blockchain, but I'm not aware of anyone who checks for such things.
It's been well known that the country has been plagued by decades of malaise [1], and people have long been less happy than people in other countries (as noted in the article).

The surprising news is that there's a significant uptick in reported contentedness now.

It is a hack. It shouldn't be possible to test pins via a lightning connection. If it weren't exploiting a bug you would have to enter the PIN via the screen, and then you only get a few attempts.

It seems likely that Apple could just buy one of these, find the bug and fix it. Unless it is using some very low level exploit which I suppose is possible and might explain why it is hardware rather than software (though that might also be to justify its cost and prevent piracy).
Government provided services are not necessarily meant to be profitable in the business sense. It is enough if their global benefits are worth the cost, even if those benefits cannot be captured as direct profits.

For example public transit is worth a lot more in external benefits than just the fares paid.
This is one thing most people don't understand. If someone is selling you a financial instrument with >6-7% annual returns, it's as ridiculous as someone selling you a time machine or the cure to death.

Oh no. You mentioned it.

I've used it hundreds of times, but since "clickbait bullshit" isn't an option, there are 3 and they're pretty dumb it probably won't learn any time soon. It sometimes comes pretty close to driving me away from the service.
Fair enough. But it is important for people to realize that buffered channels aren't "async" channels; they're async until they fill up, at which point they resume blocking until there is a slot available. If you have some sort of channel network setup that is deadlocking with unbuffered channels and you "fix" it by adding some buffering in, unless you've got a very solid analysis as to why that buffering is correct, you haven't fixed it, you've just delayed the problem until load is higher.

It's in many ways academic anyhow. Most of the tricks I've seen for buffered channels are better done some other way, and in practice I almost always use unbuffered channels. Most of the time that someone thinks they want a buffered channel because of performance issues, they're actually exactly wrong and backwards... if there is some sort of mismatch between the speed of the consumers and producers you generally want the coupling introduced by unbuffered channels, even if it is counterintuitive.
Also a good point, only the most shocking or entertaining crimes would be on the Googleable public record. Mark's misfortune is that stealing cookies was entertaining enough piece that passed the editorial.
The Indian government is probably also concerned that if the USA ever gets into a shooting war with China or Russia, the GPS constellation could be destroyed by anti-satellite weapons (or at least rendered temporarily inoperable by other means).
Oh cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for commenting.

Is there something I'm missing about Right to be Forgotten then? Why is this needed if it's already illegal to discriminate against someone over minor crimes or scandals?

All it means is that they survived long enough to reproduce to have your parents etc.. So look at the age they had them and how old they are when they died (or now). There is probably a selection event but also availability and potency have increased recently.
If your criminal record is truly relevant to the job, then the employer should do the responsible thing and get a proper background check done. Which are factual and non-biased. Such things shouldn't be left up to google page ranking algorithms and media that tends toward sensationalisation. It's lazy and unprofessional.

> Why would they hire mark over a similar employee with a clean record?

Is it useful to have people with a history of low level crime habitually unemployable. Don't we want to reduce crime.

> Mark needs to be given the opportunity to demonstrate to an employer hes no longer a cookie monster.

Mark is innocent of further crimes until he is convicted and the employer would need to have reasonable cause to discriminate against him. We have parole and other such mechanisms where official bodies can decide how long a person needs to speed demonstrating they are no longer a criminal, and make sure the relevant people are aware of this. Why leave it up to some random employer armed with google.

> He would do this by taking a lower than average pay,

Why does he deserve lower pay. This is just enabling employers to take advantage of vulnerable people.

> and giving the employer the option to terminate his employment at any time without cause.

The employer has the right to terminate at any time for mark committing a criminal act. He doesn't need this. Plus this is europe and workers have rights
This is possibly the most dystopic headline I've ever read.
10-15 years ago, I was certain that "bullshitting" people was going to disappear in the near future. It seemed inevitable that people would just pull out their phone and fact check any scam or lie. In a bizarre twist, it appears the opposite has happened.
I see no obligation for YouTube except with their “Kids” app. That one really does need to be appropriate, and from what I’ve heard they are failing at it. But as long as they fix it (or even discontinue it) I see no reason why they need to accommodate children on their adult-oriented site and app.

Thanks. The TL;DR seems to be that, instead of sticking to documenting what is, the W3C is (either deliberately or through incompetence) trying to push their own "vision" for DOM 4.1 without browser buy-in.
Nonsense. Web standards are supposed to be de jure, not de facto.

Once upon a time Microsoft had 90% of the browser’s market. We created web standards in order to prevent monopolies, such as the former IExplorer, from holding the market hostage. That’s the whole reason behind web standards.

And yes, they matter even with an IExplorer that has 90% market share, because governments can and do enforce adherence. That’s also the reason for why Microsoft came up with OOXML, ODF being a threat even with a tiny market share.
> Honestly, do the other 450+ W3C member organizations matter?

Well, the four objectors are responsible for browser engines that cover somewhere between 95 and 99+% of browser usage, depending on which set of stats you use and whether you count other browsers that have Chromium or Firefox upstream, including the system browsers of every major mobile and desktop OS.

So, no, in practice if those four agree on something, it is the way the web works.
Not everyone is worried that NSA is tracking them live: virtually all are more worried about wife or dirty laundry being made public. Or an email sent at 2am after 14 beers...6 years ago.

This description made me think of Mack and his gang in Cannery Row (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannery_Row_(novel)).

Not so much the tomfoolery but just the relative contentment with their lives, despite their lacks.
Three main points here:

1. Building a second society on Mars isn't meant to preserve the human species, it's meant to preserve modern human civilization. That's a higher order thing which is much more vulnerable to the climate catastrophe and other threats.

2. Industry in space and on Mars is going to be ludicrously profitable. Made in Space is manufacturing best-in-class optical fibers in orbit because gravity introduces crystalline defects [0]. As launch costs decrease we're going to find there are enormous numbers of low mass high value goods which can be improved by manufacturing in an ambient acceleration less than 1g. Mars will be profitable because its gravity well is tiny compared to Earth's - if you want 2 kt of steel in high Earth orbit for your new habitat, launching it from Mars and flying it over will be cheaper than lifting it from Earth.

3. If you buy into Hirschman's ideas of Voice and Exit, a frontier is arguably a necessary component of a healthy civilization. A new world for the misfits and revolutionaries to test their ideas on stabilizes the old world, and the ideas that turn out to be good feed back into the old world improving life for everyone.

Lastly, if humans fare well in lower gravity, I think we'll see tons of people choosing to live in orbit. The radiation problem is really a mass budget problem, it goes away on larger habitats. Consider the ultra-rich first, who could build perfectly climate controlled terrariums with a billion dollar view of Earth, where their very bones feel lighter, they can jump 10 feet, and breach out of their swimming pool like a shark. The leisure class could happily live up there full time, and even those with work down below could vacation for a couple months a year. Later on, I think retirement homes on orbit will be the default. It's much harder to break a hip when you only weigh 20 lbs, and retirees tend to move to a facility and then stay there so the commute to the surface is less of an issue.

I'd have to agree with you.
Not war, but self-preservation.

Historical fact: India has fought 5 wars since 1947, but was never the aggressor.
India, or any country for that matter, doesn't choose its neighbors.
You're not supposed to call our media propaganda. That's a word that can only be used for other nations' media.
Because there's no point in reconciling the specs if you don't actually reconcile them.

If the W3C spec is a snapshot, possibly of a subset, possibly with some editorial but not functional changes, then reconciling the specs is useful; it gives you want the W3C wants to provide, versioned, frozen specifications that can be used as the basis for other specs, for people to claim "full conformance" with a particular version, and so on.

Or, if the W3C process identifies real issues, then it should work with the WHATWG community to resolve those issues; since the WHATWG spec is being used as the upstream, evolving spec that these snapshots are being made from, it makes the most sense to get the changes into the upstream first, so you don't have to resolve the issues every time or maintain divergence forever.

However, the W3C instead just insisted on writing the spec the way it wanted, without regards to whether it would actually be implemented.

It makes no sense to publish a spec that will never be implemented by any of the projects that actually have real-world implementations, and differs from the spec that the implementers actually use. That just causes confusion.

So yes, they hijacked the process in the sense that the WHATWG agreed to work together with the W3C, but the W3C never really worked in good faith to resolve differences or provide technical arguments for their changes.
