> We can still have electric trucks for the last mile

I think you're grossly underestimating how spread out truck destinations are. You would have to have a very extensive rail network to get cargo anywhere near all the destinations where it's currently trucked. And if the rail network doesn't fall within X average distance of every destination, the value proposition of this idea rapidly becomes negative.
The NYT fortunately seems to be transitioning moderately well to digital at this point. They seem to have the wind at their back now. There was a period of time, spanning a decade or so, where it was very questionable if they'd make it or could survive on digital.

Their stock is at an 11 year high. Sales are growing again. Profitability looks set to surpass where they were several years ago. If it weren't for some stray costs & adjustments in Q4, they might have hit $100m+ in profit in 2017, the highest since 2010. Their balance sheet is solid, long-term debt is modest ($250m), and they have plenty of cash ($490m). Overall, it should be a good decade coming up for the NYT.
They already do that--but this box somehow bypasses that security measure.
Any moral or ethical system will have logical inconsistencies and fallacies because they are based on instincts developed by human evolution, not mathematical axioms. Those instincts were developed in groups of 100-200 people, directly depending on your ability to see other human being face to face, know him and emphasize with them. They break down when you try to extrapolate them to millions of people.

>Is there a country in which spend the majority of your time?

That changes regularly enough. Just because i like a place doesn't mean it's my country.

I think you're conflating geography with political structures. I feel at home everywhere I've been and i don't quite understand the insatiable jingoism because all places and people are great and not so great in equal measure for various reasons. That said I'm not naive enough to expect it to change and if it were to change i can't really even see a pathway for that to happen. It only takes one person to spit in the punch to ruin it for everyone.

Expect to see the usual breakdowns, anecdotes and armchair analyses of how they're doing it wrong, and should emulate the "West" in everything which is clearly without any problems, as seems to be the par for course in any news of Japan, positive or negative, on non-Japanese forums.
> I often find that I am hearing very different sounds from what my conversation partner later tells me they were saying.

That's normal. Everybody has the same problem to some degree. Your brain is mapping what it hears to the sounds and sound sequences that it knows from your native language. That's usually a good thing because it helps humans to understand others even in the presence of background noise or speech impediments.

Less probable but also possible: You have a hearing loss which your brain is able to compensate for your native language, but not for foreign languages. Had a friend with that problem. He was not able to discriminate between similar words starting with different sibilant sounds. He didn't have the problem in his native language because he knew from context which word would come.

Have you tried to listen to audio books based on books that you know very well in your native language?

I think given the popular culture status of sci fi and space fantasies, the exploitation of space travel is probably overhyped. It may seem to be on the cusp of our technological grasp due to the Star Treks and Star Wars, but it could be much farther than one may think.

It’s going to tend more towards deploying satellites rather than exploring Mars.
C++ is somewhat of an outlier due to the sheer size of the spec(and getting bigger all the time). Not everyone will use the same subset of features either, which complicates things.

That said, aren't you using C++ as a proxy for other needed skills though? Many Python programmers are not exposed to concepts like vtables, or they do not know how a linker works(or why it is even needed). Heck, many won't have done manual memory allocation or manipulated pointers.
Can you substantiate that? Thanks in advance.

I disagree. If you know Y and you're learning X, it depends much more on the value of Y. If Y is Lisp you will be quite successful at learning any X. If Y is something like C or assembly language, then you will not (it's always easy to spot the C guy who just started using Python etc.)

It's maybe me but I don't get it. Treating employment as subcontracting tilts benefits massively to the employer and reduces unionisation. It's anti worker. It's retrograde.

Historically we were taught Latin grammer disguised as English grammer - so 'tenses' when English only has two tenses (past and present) and 6 or more moods (shall, could, will, might etc, etc)

There are ways to put some state outside the event stream that play nicely with the model.

For example you could store the body in a content addressed store (a key value store whose keys are hashes of the value). This preserves the ideal model of immutable events as you cannot accidentally change the content of the event since that would violate the property of the CAS. But nothing prevents you from deleting an entry in the CAS.

However you still have to find all the records you need to delete!

The trick with forgetting the encryption key let makes this step a O(1) operation.

On the other hand it forces you to decide upfront the granularity of ownership, i.e. if you treat payload deletion as a batch process you can deal with mistakes, change your mind about which data should or should not be deleted. While with the encryption technique, changing your mind would require you to perform a full history replay and reencrypt data in a new stream (and throw away the old one) with the new granularity model.

You don't have set hours.

In my experience (as a software engineer) most companies take a hybrid approach, where they define a few core hours a day when you are supposed to be working (to assure that everyone is in at the same time for at least part of the day), but let you decide when to put in the majority of your hours.
I'm pretty sure there isn't such a thing for Elixir.

And quite possibly there won't be something like it anytime soon, if ever. I get the impression that the Elixir 'ecosystem' is a bit more modular/manual in approach even when you compare Phoenix to Rails, which means, with all else being equal, a bit less of an out-of-the-box experience.

Of course in part this is because there are currently just fewer packages available for Phoenix. But I think it's also inherent to the 'culture'. It might never be as cookie-cutter in what it offers.

(but I'm still relatively new to the Phoenix/Elixir world, so I could be entirely wrong)

> Plus, it is imperative to increase data literacy, raise awareness of how transparent a company’s data policy is, and improve consumer education in the digital age. How many people are aware, for example, the extent to which Facebook tracks your online activity and sells your data to advertisers?

The point being, I'm not sure whether people just don't care about data privacy or they simply don't know what we're talking about.

If they're like wayyyy out of what I deem to be understandable, I'll be outraged, but I don't know if I consider this company to be that far over my line (for the reasons I stated). If I considered this company to be over the line, what would I think about the leagues of developers who write essentially surveillance software (and somethings actually surveillance software) for the internet?

Also, I think the way of thinking you're referring to is called universalism (roughly stated - "do a thing only if you're OK with everyone doing that thing"), but I think it has it's problems.

> Yes, it is your decision, but it is not simply a decision of "do I whichever I want in the moment." It is ("do I want to do this & "would I be okay with someone doing this to me). (That's a bitwise AND there)

Yeah that's basically integrity (at least the consistency part) though -- I don't agree with the example I gave (it's pretty devil's advocate-y and obviously against the mores of the HN crowd), but I don't know that I can call someone who draws the line a few steps away from where I might have drawn it "sleazy", especially when there are people out there that do way worse things in hidden places.

I'm exceptionally lazy and always feel the need more machines. I need a machine that washes and flosses my teeth fast and thoroughly, I waste 15-20 minutes each day doing that. I need a robotic dishwasher/cupboard cabinet that I simply open the lid, trow the dirty plates then simply pick them up clean from the adjacent cupboard. Ditto for dry, ironed laundry. I need a food printer with attached smart refrigerator that I can download my favorite recipes into and will order the necessary ingredients and automatically cook the meal at the programmed time. A flying machine, oh man, how much I need a flying machine.

Ok, maybe those are grand ideas that need billions of dollars of research, but any one of those involves a myriad of smaller improvements that can turn into startup products. The potential for improving our lives is so vast I cannot imagine how could anyone say "I have everything I need".

Ask HN: GitHub Pages and GDPR
On May 25 the new General Data Protection Regulation comes into force.

With this regulation it's necessary to ensure that everyone you operate with is compliant as well. It also regulates that IP Addresses are falling under "personal information". Which means you basically need the same level of Data Protection from any hoster that you need to provide.

Now, there is a considerable amount of websites hosted on github pages. I haven't found any contract similar to a DPA (or ADV in German). I'm looking for something like this:

https://www.cloudflare.com/media/pdf/cloudflare-customer-dpa-20180402.pdf

or this (in German):

I'm sure I'm not the only one affected. How do you manage this (besides moving everything off GitHub Pages obviously). Did I miss something eventually?
Gotcha. After reading a bit more it sounds like WASM isn't supposed to really be the common target for all "web-languages". ie. Javascript won't be compiling to WASM any time soon. It's just a parallel mechanism to run code in the browser that's more extendable/flexible (b/c people where writing monsters to have their language compile to Javascript/asm.js)

That you've received so many downvotes is indicative of HN's perpetual Musk boner.

Musk is a state-sponsored winner, a Jack Ma, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, or Bill Gates. He is an undeserving, decade-long recipient of government grants and contracts obtained through relationships to politicians and career bureaucrats. His sole talent is finessing the work of skilled engineers and marketing that as his personal brand. He's not even a particularly good manager, as reflected in the varied outcomes of his businesses.

If the government gave a dozen fresh MBA graduates the same amount of money and influence, maybe one of them will build an incredible business that stands on its own merit like SpaceX. Another might build something like Tesla, which takes on ten billion dollars of debt and fails to turn an annual profit over fourteen years of operation. A full half, like SolarCity, will lose money for years and reach bankruptcy proceedings. And none of them will have a cousin of loose ethics that is willing to rescue a business that failed on its merits.
I, for one, am looking forward to the next AI Winter.

Depending on how you look at it, I don't think Uber (as of now) is selling shovels, I look at Uber as the middleman between the riders and the drivers, their job primarily in optimally satisfying the ride-hailing market demand.
That, and also I think the satellite market may be in the process of being disrupted, as in: it has become much, much cheaper to build and launch a satellite, in particular with CubeSats.

Often markets where the barrier to entry is lowered this way tend to grow overall, so I don't think it is an unreasonable bet that the size of the satellite launch market will increase in coming years.

What do you mean “die out”... like total extinction?
yes, I actually subscribe to this view too. We are observing things at the borders of the capacity of our instruments that is so far removed from our natural habitat as humans that we may never understand much more. I don't think we should give up however, and the distinction between appearances and reality is fundamental to proceeding further IMO.

To clarify, it seems to me probable that real space itself (and time for that matter) is/are exempt from such localized notions. They probably 'permeate' or 'contain' everything, have always done and will always do, regardless of location and scale. It is obviously possible that they may lose relevance at a certain scale, but that scale is nowhere near our current horizon AFAICT.

That doesn't have to be true. Done right, ads can be about making more people aware of a product, to reach people who genuinely benefit from it but would not otherwise have heard about it. That's the advertising future I'd like to see, even if it's not how things are right now.

Yes. However the venn diagram of people who know/learned this, and people who are willing to change it, and those who have influence requisite to make change do not overlap enough at present.

I get most surprised that this is the steady state of things in a large supposedly democratic republic like America -- if the country was reckless in hopes for growth and selling Special Economic Zones and stuff OK, there's clearly a large problem maybe even a short-sighted goal issue (oh they're trading worker's lives for short term maybe long-term economic growth), but that just isn't the case with the US.
