It's a lot worse than it was in the 1990s and 2000s. It's definitely moving in the wrong direction and ... what exact reason do you have there is any change coming at all ?

Meanwhile, the economic situation of the urban poor keeps getting worse (less pay for more work, more abuses, worse housing, ...) so in addition to creating these insular societies, the UK is also seriously upping the pressure on them. And before you say it, no it's not brexit (not that I'm claiming it's improving matters), it's been going on for decades.

It's inconvenient for the non-shady, non adtech, we give you a service in exchange for money businesses too!

I think the best thing to take away from GDPR compliance is 'it's not as easy as you think it is', 'it's not as obvious as you think it is', and small businesses who totally respect privacy will probably still be breaking GDPR.
Can you talk a bit more about your experience with the car? How much did it cost, how reliable has it been, what are your most and least favorite things about it?
The Chery J3 costs just as much as the Japanese car if not more. The catch is when you crash you pay with your life. The J3 has very poor body integrity in an accident. It should be pulled from all markets immediately. If you value life you should immediately get rid of this car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naUWH8Scc80
> EDIT: If you guys winged it by actually just reading the regulations and winging it, you probably did something wrong.

Most of the work in my company for GDPR is around user profiles, we store very few data about the users so we don't have that much to take care of. I guess if your business is to gather customer data, it's a completely different story.
You confused my statements regarding CA with a separate issue regarding political ads on Facebook, covered in the Reuters article I cited (which didn't mention CA at all).

If CA were a "manufactured controversy", I think HN would've cottoned on to that quite a while ago, rather than the various comments (among thousands on the topic now) expressing surprise that people are suddenly paying attention to this:

I'm not, by the way, providing any of these links in my comments to try to change your mind. I realized several comments ago that you've got an entrenched and unmovable opinion that pervasive user tracking on the internet is no big deal. I've been providing these links for anyone else reading who might be interested in the topic.
You can read it via archive.is.
The crash tests are already abysmal I cannot imagine how dangerous this car is if they actually lowered their safety standards after the test.
It's... over 2 million people/vehicles. That's more than population of some countries.
He's referring to ads. They sold ad time to Trump during his political campaign.

Clinton and Obama als bought ads there, but the controversy is primarily about Trump.
It's interesting to consider Star Trek. I mean in our society today you can easily blame capitalism for our woes. But I think more aptly, you should blame us. Consumerism is something you personally have to choose to become involved in. People buy overpriced phones offering marginal benefits over vastly more affordable alternatives, fancy cars that in the end do nothing but get from point A to point B, pay a massive markup on a Unix based PC so they can have a fruity label and a slightly thinner screen, etc, etc. And they do this all of their own will.

In Star Trek people always look to us as the humans, because we are humans. But the biggest gag in Star Trek is that we're not the humans - we're the the Ferengi. Seriously, that was the intent. [1] The first paragraph there is irrelevant, the second is from the actual screenwriters and producers for the show.

Society is a product of its people. The Ferengi live as they do because of the Ferengi. And the humans too live as they do because of the humans. If you thrust the Ferengi into the society of the humans it's not like they'd suddenly become as the humans. In short order it'd revert to Ferengi standards. And so too for us. Our society is a reflection of us. You need not change society - you need to change the people that makeup society. So long as there is somebody willing to buy something far outside their means for whatever reason, there will be people lining up to sell it to them. Something that is actually also still reflected in the show, even among humanity. Society is not something in isolation. Society is little more than the product of the people that comprise it.

Perhaps that includes labor and permits, not insignificant costs
Lots of information on antibiotic use on farms in UK at www.farmantibiotics.org especially in the news section where there is an update on progress in the UK and by farm. Shows a 27% drop in 2 years and also that UK is among the lowest user of farm antibiotics in Europe. Growth promotion of any kind has been banned in the EU for 10 years, and that includes antibiotics or hormones. Please check your facts - there are a lot of differences between farming in the UK and other countries.
The Machines That Could Darken the Sun to Stop Climate Change
This isn't what happened at all.

The decline of Australian car makers was entirely a result of consumers favouring (a) European car makers e.g. Mercedes and (b) smaller, more fuel efficient cars.

People just don't want large, 4 door sedan cars with V8 5L engines, a comparatively lower class brand and a less than luxurious interior.
It's far too late for that. The real question is whether "global markets" will transform the US into a totalitarian state to better compete with China.
Not necessarily. A country can be prosperous with no foreign trade.

Earth has no foreign trade and extreme poverty there fell by 50% between 2000 and 2012. China is not even an order of magnitude smaller.
Probably. Although there is the Five Eyes style arrangement where you don't spy on your own citizens and instead spy on citizens of other countries and then share the data between each other so it all becomes legit. This is described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes#Domestic_espionage_s...
if you have hardwood floors and not a messy house I would strongly recommend a robot vacuum. I leave that thing on few times a week when leaving the house and every time it manages to collect a handful of dust, mostly speck from cloth
That's a beautiful vacuum(?) pump @15:10. Anyone know more about it?
No, it's not. Chinese cars will not pass US safety regulations for a long time and at a high cost.
You perhaps wouldn't but for one thing, refugees come from war-torn areas. It is implied constantly, but never stated, by the government that the current flow of refugees come from Syria, fleeing the violence there.

Reality: Syrian refugees are a tiny minority. Africans and people from central Asia are the large bulk of the immigrants (>80%) and they are most definitely not coming from war-torn areas.
Pressing the crosswalk button as a pedestrian and making traffic stop?

In fact the law requires us to do many things for other people without compensation. Part of the give and take of living in society.
But folding now. Interesting. We don't know what will happen. You should keep an open mind.

Just for kicks, interview to get a job at McDonalds in the center of any large European city and you'll understand.
If he really wants his own beach why didn't he buy an island? Growing up in privilege in India I guess it just comes naturally to him to shut out the poor people.
I remember quite well before 9-11 crossing the Canadian border back into the US that if customs agents found food they'd just destroy it, there was no fine at all.

Though I bet if the quantity was high enough or you made a habit of it you might have easily gotten fined. All they really wanted to find were drugs or Cuban cigars.
Simple caching interceptor (aspect) for Castle Windsor
Either way you might still have totalitarianism.
I think my relative success comes down to one basic thing: When I learn new things, I focus on essentials first, and always. I gain normal skill like anyone, but I do feel like I retain the essentials better than the next hacker. I can't recall a time I've ever said, "oh, I used to know _____ but it's been too long." I've always been able to get back into old saddles. It's been like this most of my 25 years in the industry.
Very cool, useful for people learning to write ray tracers
I will be happy when I can buy their Gigabit product. Until then, Comcast has my business. :/

(Previously I was a very happy customer, but having children pushed me from being a "9Gbps is fine" customer to "ok, I need some serious bandwidth now" kind of guy.)
What’s next, she’ll defend bringing a suitcase of cocaine across the border because someone gave it to her?
This is exactly why, for 90% of their existence, the left was vehemently opposed to open borders.

Why ? Because that makes a lot of sense given the economic changes they're trying to make happen.
This already exists today in many countries e.g. Australia.

Most of the cars aren't electric but some are.
Always remember that stealth is not a boolean.

The enemy is constrained by size, cost, power, and heat dissipation. What can be done on the ground is not the same as what can be done in a fighter plane, and that isn't the same as what can be done in a small-diameter missile, and that isn't the same as what can be done in an anti-aircraft shell.

The enemy might be able to briefly detect at close range, reliably track at long range, or anything in between.

Because of this, stealth is not simply defeated, and it does not suddenly become 100% useless.
He would lack even a veneer of acting lawfully in such a case.

It would be fun if a group got together with boats and had a huge party every week or more at low tide, being right in his conceptual face regularly. Bonus points for immaculate cleanup after every time.

> they're cheap, you get what you pay for, but they work and are reliable enough.

Chinese vehicles are not as safe in accidents as those cars which have had a longer time to engineer safety technologies. Also the price point of most Chinese cars do now allow for addition of safety technologies at the level of most other non-Chinese vehicles.

Same thing with the upcoming COMAC Chinese-made airplanes. You do not want to fly those planes when they finally hit the market.

I've noticed Australians and many others will go out of their way to not buy Chinese-made. It's a bit crazy. People, especially some Chinese themselves in certain cities, will go out of their way to spend a bunch of many on expensive Japanese and American cars when you can get a an equivalent Chinese vehicle for literally a third of the price. You've got to hand it to the car companies, they've done a very, very good job convincing people that their car is a status symbol just as important as their house.
Podcasts seems to work fine, which is the exact same concept with sound in place of text.
I'm OK with that and I accept that cost, because in my eyes stopping the savage victimization of users is worthwhile. For you (or the WSJ) to persuade me that the GDPR is problematic, I'd have to believe that first, that's something that those opposed to the GDPR actually care about, and that it's something that could be achieved through other means.
I'm not familiar with the Carbon series. My other two Thinkpads were T-series, so I think I just started my search with what I knew.

I walk a lot with this computer and work from cafes all the time. It could be lighter, but it's fine.

I want to try NixOs, but haven't had time yet.
> My hope is that China will moderate and become less authoritarian and less of a threat to its neighbors.

That Xi just took power until his death means that this is not happening in China.
Huh. The low rating confuses me from watching that video. To my not that experienced eye, the main issue seems to be the airbag not expanding sufficiently. The car seems to have done a good job of crumpling to absorb the impact without deforming too much inside the cabin itself.

Edit: okay the main issue is described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5RWnocukG8 The steering wheel gets pushed into the driver's chest.
10 minutes for Dijkstra on a graph with only 6500 vertices and 16000 edges sounds fishy - I'd expect that to take way less than a second.
Because working as an SWE in bigtech can pay 2-3x as much?

Including signing a FB new grad can make up to ~$225k in their first year. There aren’t many industries where this is possible with a bachelors or less.
America has killed quite a few million people during its delivering democracy to the desert adventures in just last one decade. Pretty sure its more than what Chinese have done by a magnitude of 10x. Have you considered consuming less American made products?
What post is this a [dupe] of?
I don't think so, that sounds like blaming the victim, it's more to do with long work hours, office politics, poor workstation ergonomics, open plan offices, dysfunctional management, long commutes, etc.
After about the 11 minute mark the footage shows them working on the front page of the July 1 issue. Looks like they didn't shoot it all in one evening.
I think those agreements come from the fact that the agencies cannot 'spy' inside their home country, but can get information from other agencies that happen to have info about their country.

I still think it is illegal for those other agencies to spy within the home country. Not to mention countries they don't have agreements with.

The home agency does not do anything illegal itself, but the other agency does illegal stuff for them.
Indeed but I was thinking of endpoints that have remained relatively static because they have been auto generated or a history of scraping. Some Linux distros have pages like that (even if it's just a mirror list).

But my preferred solution would be using whatever endpoint the respective platform uses for notifying their users of updates.

This strikes me as a solved problem but even if you can't find a ready to use API then I'd probably sign up to a few mailing lists, update my own endpoint manually and offer 3rd party access for a modest subscription.

Either way, scraping an encyclopedia for an English phrase to parse strikes me as the worst of all the possible solutions.
And they don't want press coverage. If you are making a nice living doing 4 hours a week selling systems to {one weird old industry a solo founder would die to know about} you hardly want to invite competition. Competition ain't good for your lifestyle :-)
And Tesla sold how many cars exactly? The discussion here is about manufacturers trying to actually sell existing cars, not marketing department doing the PoC on sales.
But I see many new Volvo cars here...
If it's 1/3 of the price, I'm 100% sure it's not even remotely as safe. I don't buy many cars, but spend enough time in them that safety matters to me. That some Chinese avoid them when they can is very telling about the cars.
Backups to restore services are okay since their purposes is to restore services.

> We have a few issues with it, like Jenkins suddenly deciding to build & test all branches/PRs in all repos, killing the server.

I suspect you're using the "organization folder" plugin-thing that periodically re-scans your origin (Github/Bitbucket) and builds all branches that it discovers. Check this out: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45832235/how-to-restrict...
Russia and I think all post Soviet countries. Turkey and most of the middle East countries are full of chinese cars. I think developed countries will lose the markets where they used to sell their older off lease cars to. Eastern European countries are literally Germany & France's junk yard. Looks like thats about to change
Ars technica provides full rss - to paying readers. The price is reasonable.

It's a win-win: they probably earn more on each paying customer than on 10 or 20 adblocking users like us. Paying customers get full uncrippled RSS, no ads and no tracking (I think it's tiered though so you might have to pay slightly more to get all these three).
The great leap forward would like to talk to you.
Interesting counterexample, if you have more I would love to hear them. Where I live, I am required to render help if someone needs water etc. I like that law very much. Back to your example: In one case, I can press the button and then cross or not (I could stand there all day pressing the button). Without getting into local law, I bet that attack is illegal in most places, I suspect it is where I live. In the GDPR case, I can press every button in an entire union, apparently every 40 days.

EDIT: regarding response times, I found a breakdown:

Obviously this kinda-example ignores the point about forced forgetting which will be interesting in many ways; the astroturf market for example.
This reminds me of the European attempt at competing with the American BRAIN Initiative [1]:

"The key difference between Europe's HBP and the U.S.'s BRAIN Initiative is that the latter does not depend on a single scientific vision. Instead many teams will compete for grants and lead innovation into different, unplanned directions. Competition is happening via the nimh's traditional peer-review process, which prevents the conflicts of interest that plagued decision making at the HBP. Peer review is not perfect—it tends to favor known scientific paradigms—and American science funding has plenty of problems of its own. But the BRAIN Initiative's more competitive and transparent decision making is far removed from the political black box in Brussels that produced the HBP."

[1] https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-the-human-bra...
As a founder, the cruel business logic very much favors removing support/refusing to onboard European users.

After consultation with GDPR experts, this, unfortunately, is the conclusion we came to at my company as well - and is the same one that many other smaller companies will arrive at as they try to comply with this unwieldy and burdensome regulation. It might take a few years, but the incredibly unhealthy end result of this law will be two Internets: one that people in the EU have access to, which will mostly be operated by large companies that can afford to implement GDPR, and another including all sites that the rest of the world can access. My guess is that this will also have a significant negative impact on EU startup funding, as the risk of being wiped out by fines for even minor violations of this very complicated law that is subject to unique legal interpretations in each of 28 different countries is quite high. Few investors are going to take on that kind of risk.

In short, this law is already on track to create a fractured Internet that deprives EU citizens of access to the vast majority of Internet services, and consolidates the private data that their regulators are so worried about in the hands of a few giants.
Unless it is supported by capitalist intent, it cannot compete with us.
While I'd love to say I sympathise, I do not. The end goal is not to make life easy for small businesses. The end goal is protecting the consumer.

All your remaining points seem more easily solved than the backup bit, but I do not understand what could be so hard about deleting a user from a backup. Perhaps I'm dumb, but just go in there and delete it retroactively? If it affects other users, that's ok. They see a [deleted] a la Reddit.

You're not responsible for ensuring the API partners are in compliance. Those companies should have to fend for themselves.

When you delete everything you stored about a user, you also delete all potential personally identifiable information, so I again do not see what the problem is.

It just sounds like a bit of whining from where I am standing. It's like a small bridge builder saying "but the standards are too damn hard!". We start with the end goal of safe Bridges and safe users and then go backwards. Not the other way around.
Are there interesting spinoff technologies that having an efficient entangled photon source would enable? My very spotty understanding makes me wonder if this could have an impact on quantum computing. It seems like an interesting question, since military funding is involved.
