Yip, basically totally new to practicing meditation. Utterly naive ;) I actually think it should be a requirement that you undergo a 1 3 or 5 day course first, before they allow you onto a 10 day. Unfortunately, you have to do the 10 day first, before they'll let you do a shorter course.

I did give the organisation this feedback, but, I don't imagine any changes were made.

I also think they should have a trained psychologist to assess people when they're leaving (I would have been picked up as unwell I think as I was definitely manic when I left). Hey ho.

One of the great "watch ads for money" stories from the dotcom era was AllAdvantage. They were set to have a blockbuster IPO when Fortune magazine ran a story on them entitled "Meet the Dumbest Dotcom in the World," and that pretty much killed it.

One could argue the business model was tailored to prevalent tech when many of the giants emerged. Ads were perhaps a lot easier than data encryption, distribution, and secure payments back then.
Unicode 11.0.0 Beta
That part I don't know. I haven't seen a comparison between them, but it's compared well at least against BPG, or whatever the h264 based format was. I don't think i've seen a comparison against h265, let along AV1. It'd be interesting to see. Even if they're about as good, I like FLIF's setup better since it enables progressive decoding which could be a big step up for slower connections.

I find the his story of "archiving the Internet" extremely amusing. Good luck with that defense. He was 19 at the time and knew exactly what he was doing - or should I say "archiving".

He estimates he has around 30 terabytes of online data on hard drives in his home, the equivalent of "millions" of web pages. He usually copies online forums such as 4chan and Reddit, where posts are either quickly erased or can become difficult to locate.

"I preserve things, I archive the internet. I have history on my computer, and all of that should be saved and preserved," he said.

I'm curious about the magnetic mount. Doesn't that mean you can just walk up and take the camera?

JavaScript numbers can hold integers without losing precision up to Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER (9007199254740991, or 2⁵³-1), can be checked with Number.isSafeInteger(). Bitwise arithmetics, though, works on 32-bit numbers, so "casting" with | 0 will actually result in converting the number to 32-bit signed integer:

2**53-1 | 0 = -1
2**53-2 | 0 = -2

Which is modular arithmetic:

(2**53-2) % 2**32 = 4294967294
2**53-2 >>> 0 = 4294967294
( >>> 0 makes unsigned, 4294967294 | 0 = -2)

> During the pause, workers are expected to use vacation days or stay home without pay; a small number of workers may be offered paid work elsewhere in the factory.

For these downtimes that are planned by the company, is it typical across the industry that workers have to use vacation days or go without pay? Or is Tesla shortchanging workers relative to other car manufacturers?

Is that supposed to imply linux can't? Or that linux plus a GNU subsystem can't? I've personally run it on a lot lower end hardware than that seems to be.
> But people discounting coding GUIs left and right, just because they haven't seen a good example of it yet

It's not just because I haven't seen a good example, it's because we have 50 years of bad examples. When something has been tried and failed by so many people for such a length of time you have to at least consider the possibility that the idea is just a fundamentally bad one.

I think I'm more likely to see flying cars in my life time then a decent GUI for general purpose programming. The problem with both is that they are fundamentally flawed.

> I have no idea why people take outside money. If you can't afford to build it, start smaller, get rich, go bigger

1. To diversify their finances. Going all in means every bet, if it fails, could be your last. (Less applicable for someone with Elon's name recognition.)

2. Some ideas don't scale down. Building a big rocket is a different game from building a small one. The lessons from the latter will apply roughly, at best, to the former. Same with tunnels.

3. To get intellectual and political buy-in. When people invest in something, they take ownership--financially and emotionally. Having shareholders who you can deputies to fight your battles can sometimes beat a hired hand.
Expand the limits of democracy as a way to vote expropiation?

When democracy is used to plunder, there is no way back. It will be living for the purpose of robbing others, and the poor have never fared well in such systems.

We live in a world with relative freedom but still very constrained. Look at the US spending 25% of its GDP through the state. And european countries reach 40 and even 50%!
Half of every thing produced consumed by the state. The State is the enemy. It really is.

The most positive effect I can imagine is people being stroung enough to resist the powers of states and pit them against each other. The most scary future I see is the collaboration of countries. Concentration of capital is bad, but concentration of power is the true danger. And the State garners its concentration with the power of might.
Ask HN: Regarding GDPR and 3rd party database hosting providers

Generally agree with you, but those of us who knew Microsoft in the 90s are also cautious about the company getting too cozy with the Linux ecosystem, or any competing technology in general.

The way things played out for you is exactly how we handle corporate exfiltration. Employees are unilaterally terminated for the violation, but we'll agree to not press charges if they disclose any dissemination and attest to its deletion.

Good for you for not having to deal with Kroll.
Eh.

I'm all for designing things right, but I think it's not important to get caught up in the naming.

Display. Storage. Battery. Some way to charge it when you're nowhere near reliable electricity. Maybe a keyboard. Maybe the ability to communicate with other ones in a mesh. Maybe they can hook up to the internet if it's available.

And then lots and lots of great content pre-loaded.

For instance, ka-lite, the downloadable Khan Academy:

"The 4781 videos that are available currently have a size of 57.1 Gigabyte."

That's really not that big, any more.

So I'm sure you mean well this is an exact example of my problem with the cryptocurrency/blockchain space.

For years and years I've said, "Yes, that is a pretty cool technology, but what real-world value is it currently providing?" One common answer is, "But it's a really cool technology!" No argument, but that seems to miss the point. Another is, "I'm sure it will be amazing!" Which again, misses the point. A third is, "It might be great for X," but without any real proof that people doing X want the technology, without demonstration that the current alternatives are inadequate, and without apparent recognition that a future hypothetical does not in any way satisfy somebody looking for traction.

Plenty of technologists think they have a good thing going. Right up until the investor money runs out and customers have failed to show up.

As an example, look at 3D movies and TV. 3D has been about to change the way we see things since the 1950s. There is no denying the technology is very neat to technologists. Early adopters even get excited! And then it turns out once again that customers don't really care. This pattern goes at least as far back as the Brewster stereoscope in the 1850s.

So please, don't be shocked that people are tired of blockchain/cryptocurrency hype. That you find the technology interesting does not mean that anybody else will find the (lack of) actual deployed use interesting.

Files an a server may be considered "private".

However, when you make those files available through a web server, you make the "public".

You then have the ability to limit the access to those files through any one of a large number of techniques to make them private again. Now if there were evidence that they tried (and failed) to use one of these techniques or that the teenager in question deliberately circumvented these techniques, then you would have a point.

One (not particularly good) way of limiting access to files without verifying identity would be to create a hash (say using the requesters email address and the request ID) and use this in the url to access the document (similar to how google docs implement sharable document links).

If they had done this, then perhaps you could legitimately claim that there was evidence of intent to restrict access.

An incremented ID is the opposite. It is a sign that you wanted people to be able to easily predict the correct url to download the next file from. Using an incremented ID is in fact evidence that this information was intended to be public.
You take funding because you think it'll increase your personal rate of wealth increase.

Loans are the simplest to understand -- it's leverage. If you think you can double your money in a few years with a business plan, and that opportunity scales passably well to more money than you have in your bank account, you can take out a loan. To use your language, leverage is just "betting on yourself" even harder.

Taking on investors is different in that you can't ruin yourself doing it, but similar in that it increases your resources in a way that you hope will more than pay off over time against the cost.

Absolutely. I love small devices I can modify and the such, but when I do it, it's some assurance that i have a bit of security-by-obscurity, as well as an open-source background that usually comes with the random-modification scene. But when a commercial entity wants my lights to connect to the internet, chances are they are less-modifiable than a few hacked-together circuits.
That’s not really true. The stock is flat over the past year. To be a musk investor now, you have to accept that you’re late to the party, and enjoy buying into rich valuations with a lot of hype baked in.

This is a solution in search of a problem. Most people barely want to accept email from people they are likely to do business with. What American is excited to get email from some stranger who literally doesn't have two nickels to rub together?

Also, you're just wrong about traditional financial intermediaries. It's easy enough to provide a few different ways to transfer funds. Or to do it over a relatively open network like e-check or wire transfer, where there's no lock-in possible.

Outsourcing is in
When accessing a document on the web, you ask the server if you can have it. The server then says "yes" or "no" based on a set of rules. In this case, he asked and the server said "yes".

This is like going to a library, asking the librarian if you can check out a book, being told yes, and then later being arrested because they meant to say "no".

Overreaching unions. Layers of consultants. Squabbling jurisdictions. And as the article mentions, the fact that they build so infrequently that they essentially have to skill up from scratch every time and can never optimise or learn from previous mistakes.

There's a lot of information about this out there but that about covers it I think. Here's a nice quote from a nytimes article:

"Trade unions, which have closely aligned themselves with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and other politicians, have secured deals requiring underground construction work to be staffed by as many as four times more laborers than elsewhere in the world, documents show."

"if the children themselves could make their own computers it would be even better (see Raspberry Pi and 3D printed cases)"

I love this idea of letting children/students build their own computers. If it's designed well, it could be both educational and economical. They can learn about the parts and what they do - processor, memory, storage device, etc. - while they're putting them together. Then they can explore the operating system and start programming their own applications..
Is it more likely that editing a url is a reasonable thing to do or that literally every other person in this thread is an unreasonable person?

So, the GDPR actually says two things

- personal data is any data about a person which could, in combination with other data that you may not have, identify a person. That's much broader than your definition. In this case, I think the claim would be that if you knew all programs installed by a person, you could figure out who that person is. It's still probably a stretch. It's good that they prevented themselves from knowing what the program is, because that could sweep up health data. ie imagine they knew you were running a blood sugar tracking program, they could infer you had diabetes. Health data is in a heightened protection class under the GDPR.

- The game would still have to service data requests, ie give me all your data about me.

Er... what kind of hardware is Windows IoT supposed to run on?
My opinions are influenced by (if memory serves) some Microsoft researcher who years back said something along the lines of how having all the data points is how computers can truly benefit an individual.

You can see the early fruition of this by looking at how useful Google Now/map planning etc are.

Computers could be our all knowing assistants.

That's on a very surface superficial level.

Imagine the kinds of benefits when this all knowing entity is applied to medical issues. Real substantive progress could be made.

However, today's mismanagement of data could scare people off all knowing entities for good & end up severely limiting real progress.

As with everything else, all that data is rife for abuse if the necessary legislation & technical limiting/auditing regarding access/use are not first put in to play.
Doesn't seem that slim a possibility. I honestly can't see the need for bots or cheats in GW2 when there's so little that's grindy in quests or dailies and there's shortcuts through most of the dungeons simply with class skills not wall hack cheats. The only rare drops I can think of are the dungeon recipes which aren't that rare compared to drops in other games.

In other games, the grind is clear, and the appeal of bots painfully obvious.

It's a few years since I played GW2 so things may have changed.

Oh, it can. I've run ucLinux (MMU-less Linux) on an LPC1788 (Cortex-M3) and it works...okay. Making dynamic libraries work correctly on it is a pain in the ass. It just wasn't worth it at the end and the O/S hogged up most of the processor, RAM, and Flash.
The Cortex M series is prolific but lacks a proper memory management unit which makes running Linux an iffy business. FreeRTOS is by far the most dominant player in this space.
