again, all the points you listed which make girls more "luxury", I could also argue that society make them the way it is.
1. parents have to spend more money/time to ensure her safety -- because boys in india often don't receive enough education on respecting girls and that they're not objects. Sure, women are more vulnerable to sexual assaults around the world, but it's not like every day I walk from home to school or home to work that I have to worry about getting raped in Canada.
2. the money she earns does not go to the family -- in western cultures, boys don't give money to their parents either. On the opposite spectrum, in modern days China, both boys and girls are expected to share some income with their parents, so the problem that boys = more money for the house does not exist
3. you don't get to live in the house -- again very similar to point 2, in western countries, you don't get to live in your boy's house either
4. with more educated husband you have to pay more dowry, this is a very specific indian thing which I cannot begin to understand as there are already less women than men. In the parents' minds, girls are worth less hence making them having to pay to get rid of their daughters. If girls worth more to them, the situation would perhaps change (again, see families with educated girls that have decent jobs in modern days China, often demanding the groom to pay for the house and car)
> Always remember that stealth is not a boolean.

And also it's not just about the technology in the design of the aircraft. It's a combined strategy such as knowing where the radar stations are and flying a path to minimise exposure.

I remember seeing a visualisation of what ISTR was a stealth flightpath into Iraq giving an idea of how they maintained their extremely low visibility. I've just has a search but can't find it at the moment.
In case you have missed this phenomenon you might have missed the following too:
- People from Harayana actually paying money to smuggle young brides from UP and Bihar.
- Bringing brides from outside has become an election promise in Harayana.
- There is an active flesh trade going on between Assam/UP/Bihar and Haryana. There is also arbitrage. For example buying brides from Assam at Rs 5000 for UP but then selling them in Haryana for Rs 10,000
- Church is also responsible for moving young children across country. I remember meeting a young girl from Odissa working in a house in Goa. She was brought there by Church. The girl was later rescued for sexual abuse.

I'm a big fan of Feedbin, because it lets you subscribe to any Twitter user's profile as a normal feed and browse it too. It means I can subscribe to 10 or so people I really don't want to miss and get their updates exactly like I would a normal feed.

When it comes to compensation, you have to show what material or non-material damages you’ve suffered

You realize that "material or non-material damages" can mean just about anything right? If it were limited to "material" damages, that would at least impose some form of sanity. The way this is written, it's a free-for-all. Saying "I have had alot of trouble sleeping since I found out that only 45 of 46 tracking companies were listed on the disclosure" is all it would take for an individual to obtain money from a company under this absurd regulation.
Consider consuming less USA products? Hmm... No, never, not at all. The truth is no one knows How many people have been killed in China. Another truth is: I can sit here in NY and say Trump is an Idiot who should be Impeached because he is AN ASS and wake up safe and sound in the morning. Try that in China and let me know how that works out for ya.
I would also mention (VPS) hosting costs. Some applications need many docker processes (postgres, redis, elastic, nginx, node.js backend) and each one of them has overhead in both cpu and memory (~15 MB). CPU is usually not a problem for small projects but memory is (5 processes and you're at 75 MB just for docker, then there is operating system and if you need java, you're screwed)

BTW: Docker is written in garbage-collected language (go) so that's why it takes so much (for compiled lang) memory.

BTW2: if anybody knows about memory-cheap (using linode currently) VPS I'd love to know
Ahem ....to compete with China.
I think what GP is trying to do is to post their IP address in a comment, which is personal information under GDPR.
You are wrong and smug Sir.
Google may have optimised ad impressions, but they are far from optimising ad clicks:

1. Last year I saw ads for cat food even though I don't have a cat and Google has access to my photo stream.

2. I searched for information on the new Pixel 2 phone, but Google continued to show me ads for it after I had bought it and was using it at the time.

3. I saw an ad for Android Pay, so I tried to sign up. But then Google told me my bank doesn't support Android pay. Fair enough, but why do they continue to advertise Android Pay to me?

4. On Apple's website I configured a new MacBook Pro and placed it in my shopping cart, but then had second thoughts and I didn't actually buy it for 6 months. In that time I didn't see a single Google ad for a MacBook Pro.

On top of that, I don't think Google has actually optimised ad impressions. When I read a Forbes article I see ads like, "You won't believe what these celebrities look like now". When I read The Economist I see ads for milk processing plant equipment. With all the personal information Google has about me, why aren't these publications using AdSense?
that's personal data for which hacker news doesn't have a consent form. even if I don't ask a deletion, that's a huge liability for the site owner.

I just bought an Amazon Echo Dot and they're pretty neat. Here's some scenarios I've used in the last few days

> I need to provide some identifying info to get 2FA removed from my web host (new phone) and one of them was last transaction amount.

"Alexa, what is $19.53 in New Zealand Dollars" so I could track it down in my bank statements

> My PS4 is on, Plex is open and I want to watch something specific but I'm too lazy to scroll

"Alexa, tell Plex to play Violet Evergarden"

> I wake up in the middle of the night but I don't want to turn on my phone because the light would trick my brain into thinking it's day probably

"Alexa, what time is it?"

> I'm not sure if it's going to rain tomorrow and I don't run a weather widget on my phone. I'm also doing other stuff while getting ready

"Alexa, what's the forecast for today?"

> My particular favourite at the moment that I set up using IFTTT. I want to trigger the stats page on my site to update by pulling the latest info for a bunch of APIs. To do that, I need to hit a certain hidden endpoint or I could say

"Alexa, trigger site refresh"

Anyway, it feels silly but the more I use it, the more I really enjoy it despite being skeptical. I think IFTTT gives you a lot of possible power, especially with webhooks if you've got anything in particular.

I think I'd have to write my own skills in order for Alexa to eg; read the response from a POST request but that could be cool. Anyway, the Echo Dots are really good for what they cost
Ask HN: How does artificial intelligence benefit the planet?
that's kind of an ivory tower argument. "let's people don't have nice thing, we know what's best for them." meanwhile, most normal use don't gives a damn if the site track their behavior and post relevant ads, as long as they get quality content and ads aren't abusive they believe it's a fair bargain.
I've used make as an static site generator, it is actually very neat for that purpose and makes rebuilds quite fast and parallel.

What are some major reasons?

Is it because of the culture of not valuing software as much as 'hard' engineering or just lower average GDP per capita? (I read someone commenting that pay for software engineers in Japan and Korea are similarly uncompetitive for the former reason.) Swiss pay is supposed to be quite competitive with American, and other Western European countries are right around their borders.

It’s not at all clear this isn’t a buzzword boondoggle.

RF photonics is barely even a thing, and no one is going to get much joy from more comfortably photonic frequencies operating in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Besides, entangled states are very delicate and disappear after any environmental interaction. So I’m not entirely clear how you’re supposed to maintain an entangled state while bouncing photons off a large object.
I agree that these are useful ways of solving problem, but its rarely that anyone asks about that sort of skill in an interview.
Ford, BMW, VW, Volvo, etc already manufacture cars in China, and with 50% to 100% Chinese ownership its pretty obvious the next generation of Chinese cars are going to have the same level of refinement and safety as these (because, well Fuck IP rights) and at about half the price

Huh, that's not the behavior I see with Force Touch. Hyperlinks automatically come together, and there's some sort of heuristic for detecting word clusters such as names or places.
There is certainly an expectation of profits. Dot com domains are irrelevant. They are not investing in a common enterprise they are buying an asset they think will accumulate.

Decentralization is also a red herring. The courts don't care whether Ethereum was hosted on a million servers or on a box under Vitaly's bed.

All of this hinges on what is a "common enterprise." Some might argue that Ethereum is a loose collection of volunteers that have come together to work on an open source project for various reasons. The project itself is simply a coordination and collaboration mechanism, indeed as I've been told you could say that cryptocurrencies are not unlike an online game. There is no single server hosting this game, and certain actions in the game require real money, but the important part is that the game is free, created by open source volunteers, and these volunteers do not expect to generate profits in their capacity as volunteers. (The volunteers may on the side actually become players in the game and buy the tokens etc, but they are acting in a different capacity.)

The problem here is precisely point #2 in the article: not all players in the game are equal. Some players have very unique privileges that literally let them change the rules of the game! Sure they're acting in a different capacity, but it's still the same people either way. Now the defense of this is that in theory anybody can come along and fork Ethereum and if they can convince the majority of the network to use their client then they too can change the rules of the game.

But how exactly feasible is this?

And this is where things get very murky. Because when you actually dig into Ethereum and Bitcoin what you find are many shadowy organizations and individuals colluding together to ensure that they win at the game. If it can be shown that certain entities are able to guide the development and price of Ethereum for their own benefit then you could see a judge saying there is a common enterprise at work here. Once you have any kind of "beneficial ownership" due to "effective control" -- no matter what form these may take because the laws are intentionally vague here -- then you almost certainly have an enterprise and what could be considered mega-scale securities violations.

In the end it doesn't really matter. The SEC isn't going to proactively go out and try to settle these questions. It's not how they, or any other regulator for that matter, works. (It's very rare to find a proactive regulator. There is little upside and potentially huge downsides to being a proactive regulator.) So they're going to sit back and wait until people start dying. Only when that happens will they spring into action ito save the day. What will need to happen first is for many investors to file law suits against the Ethereum Foundation (or maybe just Vitaly). There'll also have to be a terrorism/North Korea connection or the like. When it's clear that people are dying or terrorists are winning will the SEC will step in under the guise of "protecting investors" or fighting terrorism.
Yes. Exactly what non-material damages means will be up to CJEU to decide eventually. I do not think many ppl expects it to mean “free-for-all” and I do not think your “sleeping example” would suffice. Admittedly, no one can know for sure at this point in time though.
Ha! “The scientific fundamentalist”? I’d look for a second opinion.
Keep backups for less than the timeframe you have for "right to erasure" (less than 30 days is probably safe), make them non-accessible by default/to normal staff, only use them to restore in an emergency, job done.

It's not fucking hard, although a lot of people seem to be struggling with the concept of not hoarding data, or privacy in general.
Not sure i get you. Us=the us, and it does include me.
The generation of hypotheses is "right-brained thinking" in these terms.

Science is a process which includes the creative step of imagining a solution/explanation.

The differentiation between science and "systematic religous doctrine" is not in the character of the people, nor particularly in the way they think. Only that the scientist has an additional goal/duty to test his explanations.

you are allowed to criticize or insult trump because your criticism or insults hace 0 influence on anything. Regular chinese person talking shit about the govt is taken seriously because thats not something anybody does and will attract a lot of attention from other people and can result in a problem for the govt. if your words had potential to create serious problens for American government you would have been silenced very quickly.
I personally am not competent enough in this field to propose changes to GDPR that would better balance these constraints. Which is why it's so important that regulators attack the problem in a holistic way - they are the only ones with the mandate, resources and expertise to do so. If GDPR in its current form makes it harder for small businesses to compete, in my opinion that makes GDPR incomplete, and we should pressure regulators to keep improving it. To achieve that, the first step is for us as a community to agree on the scope of the problem, which is why I'm trying to convince you :-)

But that's the thing: before 1995, you couldn't know that you had to keep funding the CERN to get the WWW. So you'd have cut it off before, and now you'd be arguing that you made the right call, because we wouldn't know that the WWW would have been a thing.
Lol, it's pretty ambitious to try tracking planes with gravitational effects. But now that gravitation wave detection works, I think there are plans (or at least ideas) to build such devices in earth or solar orbit for triangulation of distant objects like stars and black holes. Detection arms could be much longer and disruptions much lower than on earth, so results would me much more accurate.
None, in nearly all cases it's unnecessary. The games that could make use of automated routing often involve complex logic which would make the implementation take more effort than it's worth it.
If you want clean declarative APIs you need context to build them.
This is neat! Thanks for sharing.
GDPR is about protecting human rights. My personal info staying safe is non-negotiable prerequisite, and your 3-person startup making money is totally optional. If you are unable to comply to GDPR then you shouldn’t be allowed to touch other people’s data. I won’t pity you for exactly the same reason I would not pity drug dealer complaining that his latest heroine delivery was intercepted by DEA.

I think it’s good that EU tries to eradicate “let me steal and sell your secrets” business model that most SV startups are built on

The practice of using online forums to find freelances
What I commented on, and what you quoted above, was about hydro plants, not wind. With hydro plants, as long as the reservoir has capacity the reservoir acts like a battery, as hydro plants tend to be built with turbine capacity sufficient for a flow large enough to drain the reservoir. As such, unlike with wind, nothing is lost if you close the sluice gates or a while - the reservoir just builds up and you can generate more when needed.

That's the entire point: That hydro plants can act as storage even if there's no lower reservoir to pump from. Which means they're good fast response plants exactly so that types of plants where turning them off wastes potential energy, like wind farms, can keep running.

The original claim I took issue with, was that a hydro plant can't serve this purpose without a second reservoir, which is not true - a second reservoir can be used to increase total effective storage capacity, and to make the plant increase demand rather than just decrease supply, but a hydro plant on itself can improve grid responsiveness, given enough transmission capacity.
This is actually a really weird example of using the Context API. I have no idea why you would want to use it to manage a single switch of state.

The far better examples are providing a "theme" across multiple disparate components, and each of them being able to access the colours, or styles. (You could also just use CSS)

The other good example is being able to set the logged in user into a context and then being able to consume the context if you need access to the logged in user.
