In his post here, he kind of directly writes that SO is not like a wiki.

> But you know what does work? A Q&A system. Like Stack Overflow.
> Why? Because unlike wikis, you don’t write documentation in the hopes that one day it might help someone.

"Because unlike wikis.."
>I spent years flailing within technology. I learned the wrong things, dove deep into the wrong technology (Java Swing :|) and made obvious mistakes. In retrospect, I would have paid to work for a capable mentor when I started who could have validated my work and guided my efforts.

I think this is inevitable. We're lucky to be living during a time that has been extremely fruitful and revolutionary in programming languages and technologies. I spent many years on Flash and Silverlight but I don't regret it. Most of those skills transfer to other domains easily.

> Mentor-

Yes. Even after 10 years in the industry I feel like I'd love to have someone to poke me in the right direction every now and then.
Maybe so, but please don't break the site guidelines by posting shallow dismissals: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. If you know more than everyone else, a better way to comment is to teach us something.

The HN community includes quite a few physicians, by the way, who often add excellent insight to threads. Here is an example from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16983369.
We could finally eliminate the dumb speaker you hold up your ear and just have every phone be a speaker or FaceTime only phone. Maybe then the iPhone can eliminate the notch.
Maybe rubbish, but if it's legal rubbish then there's a problem. Our patent system is screwed up beyond belief.

I had thought that maybe design patents were a new thing, but a little research shows they aren't. The first was in 1842, and the Coke bottle in 1915 is a notable example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_patent

The only ray of light is that a design patent is invalid if the design has a functional benefit.

>> Are cell phones the next thing on the list?

Cigarettes created hospitals full of "black lung" diseases, the scary one being cancer. The experts had their suspicions. Cellphones are as pervasive now as tobacco was in the 1950s. We aren't seeing hospitals full of brain cancers. If they are causing tumors, they are doing so only in a very few cases. So no, even if the link is made the reaction will not parallel tobacco.

Imho if a link is found we will not see a ban. We will see standards for shielding, a layer of tinfoil between the antenna and the head.

I really hate the fact that people boast that things are "pure html" when in fact it's all just javascript that uses data attributes.
I think that's unfair to PHP.
It repeatedly retrieves the parent row. Look at the URL when replying on HN and change the id by adding a few 0's - the app prevents a comment from being added if the ID isn't found. Of course, this doesn't prevent a developer from circumventing the apps constraint logic.
This can be difficult to manage, though.

Yesterday my doctor called because they had to reschedule an appointment. Would I have to have remembered to whitelist them? What if they have multiple outgoing numbers?

What about all the other businesses I interact with? The computer repair place saying my laptop is ready to pick up? The cable technician calling to let me know that he'll be 30 min late? The hotel I made reservations with calling to confirm?
That is a really neat "video". I see that it is mostly just 3d-transformed LayerJS, but did you use any particular tools to do it? Whether to help fine-tune the desired 3d angles or to designate where animation parts fire on the applicable timeline, etc ?
Can you provide a link for that?

When I used Google Apps for business (not overly cheap)they were using more of our data than we were.

Ask HN: Does HN silently drop submissions that contain blacklisted words?
Recently submitted a Show HN with the title:

Show HN: SendNoodz.io – Send MMS of Noodles When Asked for N u d e s

The submission would shown within my account, however following the direct link [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16987190] would result in a blank page for other logged in users and non-authenticated users.

Is this due to the nature of the title?
It is nice concept. Definitely promissing. At the moment it seems to be something that can be of interest for other devs if they wish to work on this.

I ran into number of issues, like you can imagine.
I retract the statement that I don't see the advantage.

See https://twitter.com/rauchg/status/991850924057350144 for why.

Basically run `mount` in a gvisor container and run `mount` in a runc container and see the major differences there. Just one example, but as you can see, linux mount namespaces tend to leak lots of mount information. some of it could be cleaned up with additional unmounts after setting up the new root for the container, but knowing what to unmount is not so simple (plus it's just janky AF).
There used to be a great impact plugin site, pointofimpact I think it was called. Unfortunately, it's all gone now, along with most of the plugins on it...
Pretty amazing that the simple Stirling engine can be the best choice for generating kilowatts of power in a hostile environment.
Again, in this case or any other, _what relevance_ does the size, or general public's knowledge of a company ("who has ever heard of these guys?") have to the _validity_ of their patents?

This was the very first point of your argument. "No-one's really heard of these guys". What's the response to this? "Yeah, no way they could have a valid patent, in that case!"
Hmm. Why not talk to Etalim: https://www.etalim.com/

If every action that can happen, does happen, then the "universe" that you left only exists in that exact moment of departure because every quantum interaction from that point forward creates more branches of infinite universes. Thus, which of those would you return to? You could only return to the exact moment you left or to some random branch that's created after you leave.
Indeed the one thing that sticks out in my mind about The Wolf of Wall Street is that no effort was made to show all the harm he did to the people he stole from. It was just one very, very long spectacle. Not a film I'd watch twice.

Also, in my experience, someone might proactively create a wiki page in the org documentation. But depending on the amount of logorrhea, it can be hard or discouraging for future people to change it.

Meanwhile SO answers are much more granular and easier to update for that reason.

For example, trying to transactionally update a large page on the org database system instead of an SO question about the parameters you need to connect to it. I can see SO winning here because the units of work are much smaller.
But the time period of such migrations could have been thousands of years.
> So these were all issued just recently in 2018?

Yes.

No, the Tesla prototype was unveiled in November 2017; these were all filed on Dec. 30, 2015, as is prominently shown in the documents linked by GP.
I believe it boils down to how often they all interact with each other. If they're all part of one team, and are regularly interacting, that's one thing, but if they're all kind of self-contained units that don't interact with each other normally, that's not that diverse.

This is very useful, thank you.

One request I have (to anyone out there who is listening) is a checklist focused on common small business tools and workflows.

For example, if I use Google Analytics on my website, or I advertise on Facebook and use the Facebook tracking on my website, do I need to do anything to be compliant. Same question for Mailchimp mailing lists, Square payments, Shopify e-commerce, etc etc. I get these questions from friends and clients all the time, and I struggle to give them a clear answer. I'm sure specialized consultants could, but small businesses often can't afford those.

Most of the resources I see are either aimed at larger companies, or tech startups. But the people most badly in need of guidance are neither.

>> And every single day several kids from elementary school start a new one.

So many StackOverflow posts consist of, "I searched how to do X, I copy and pasted the code from the StackOverflow answer that came up, and it doesn't work for me."

You can usually google a few lines of code and find out where they got it from originally.
I'm getting confused. Are you trying to do parallel compute or parallel networking?

If parallel networking, the benchmarks I've seen set Python asynchronous IO at about the same speed as Golang. The folks at Magicstack reported that Python's bottleneck was parsing HTTP (https://magic.io/blog/uvloop-blazing-fast-python-networking/). Note their uvloop benchmark was about as fast or faster than the equivalent Golang code.

If parallel compute, then multiprocessing is the way to go and Python's futures module ain't clumsy. It's just ``pool.submit(func)`` or ``pool.map(func, sequence)``. If you're asking for parallel compute via multithreading, you're going against the wisdom of shared-nothing architecture. Besides, pretty soon you'll want to go distributed and won't be able to use threads anyway.

In contrast to your experience, I find Python makes it easy to write efficient code. Getting rid of the irrelevant details lets me focus on clear and efficient algorithms. When I need heavy compute, I sprinkle in a little NumPy or Numba. My bottleneck is (de)serialization, but Dask using Apache Arrow should solve that problem.

Really nice idea. What immediately jumps out is there are checkboxes for tasks that don't apply to everyone. For example, most companies won't need a Data Protection Officer (DPO).

Still, the world needs more clarity on GDPR, and this helps.

Insight Launches the DevOps Engineering Fellows Program
One really funny story about this. When AT&T was creating U-verse way back when they picked IP Multicast as the deliver method for the video. In one of their first test rollouts to the engineers on the projects house they found an issue. The engineers kid picked up the remote and started hitting the channel up button rapidly. It takes a few second for the Multicast join to be processed so this really did not work that well. The fix was that when you join say channel 100, the box joins the streams for channel 96-104 so you get the picture ASAP if you push the up/down channel button. This is why you see a delay if you jump to 200 from 100. The Multicast join has to be processed.

Anyway that is the story I heard from one of their router vendors. Technically it is all correct.

I think the point is that good tools that last a long time are a specialization. As is the distribution network for those tools, the infrastructure to deliver them, the equipment and the raw materials to make them.

I don't believe you're reading that correctly. First of all the manual you reference is not the law, its the guidelines for an officer looking at you at the POE.

An intent to immigrate in the future that is in no way connected to the proposed immediate trip.

How I think a reasonable officer would read this: If you are coming in for TN and they ask you about you intent if you say after the next 3 years I am planning on moving back to Canada but in 10 years I want to try to immigrate, that shouldn't disqualify you for the immediate trip.

The trip is the duration of your current stay, not just the entry.
This might change. Subscriptions are the new thing and customers expect more. Personally, I won't accept a gym membership anymore that I can't cancel in 3 months max.
Pascal's mugging is a really cool thought experiment. Similarly is the thought that what if instead of the entire universe being the size of the viewable universe it's 10^N power, so just another exponential leap in size. Then our little corner of the multi-verse becomes such a tiny speck.

This is really not meant restrictive. Its basically MIT and only restricting one particular use case (if you want to build a webeditor like WIX, etc. ) It's currently protecting our baby startup (layerjs.com) and should avoid that someone is using layerjs.org (which will be used inside) to get an competitive edge on our baby (:

Yes, and it makes Stack Overflow more like an imageboard than a documentation project. So I have doubts whether it can be used for the purpose especially with Google removed from the equation.
It just doesn't look comparable to the example i've posted. They were really, really simple, so if QT is the same, i would love to see it do the same. As for imperative registration, didn't you just link me to it? If they were functions, you could do:

const A = () => <div>...</div>
const B = () => <h1><A /></h1>

Notice that the B component can refer to the A component because it's in the same scope. There's no magic and no binding/loading. A is a function that is called inside B's function body. It also isn't done by inference of an ID (which would be registration).
The fact that Samsung phones were not trying to pass themselves off as Apple phones didn't protect them from being successfully sued over Apple design patents, so I'm not sure why the same thing would protect Tesla from Nikola.
The alternative is genuine entrepreneurship or working your butt off in school in an area that is actually in demand rather than a pointless degree. There seems to be an assumption now that everyone is entitled to a nice cushy lifestyle but if you don’t work in school, don’t develop in demand skills or find a gap in the market to exploit then it’s not going to happen.
> you should assign a representative in one of the member states for your business. This person should handle all issues related to processing.

Am I reading this wrong? It seems like if every country adopted laws like this, so you would need to have ~200 different representatives across the globe to have any kind of online business.
Well done for making it work! In those pre-Betfair years, the logistics of actually getting your bets on must have been painful. We are a bit spoilt nowadays when the betting can be done through an API and everything can be automated (the downside is seeing a large % of profits going to the exchange...)

In his Journal of Researches as well as the condensed recount found in The Voyage of the Beagle, a young Charles Darwin describes his considerable astonishment at the constitutional robustness of the indigenous peoples he encountered in Tierra del Fuego in the 1830s. At that time they were called Fuegians, though in more modern times they are referred to as Yaghans.

Despite their homelands being situated among the harshest, most inhospitable climes on Earth, with year round temperatures frequently near or below freezing and constant powerful circumpolar winds from the 'furious fifties,' they were able to tolerate such extreme conditions despite their traditional attire consisting of little more than a loincloth and an occasional loosely draped shawl. They frequently went without protection on their upper body and lower extremities altogether. Darwin describes a vivid scene where a Fuegian mother is standing in a shallow boat that approaches the Beagle in order to conduct raid. She's wearing nothing but newborn nursing at her breast, and she and her child both seem indifferent to the the snowfall and freezing rain melting on their skin.

They did not use permanent dwellings, and basically lived as gatherers using simple temporary makeshift huts with one side facing the wind and the other side open, and of course a fire, which gave the region its name. But it was not uncommon for them to spend days foraging for mussels, drenched in the frigid crashing breakers of the Southern Ocean.

This is 30 years before he published the Origin of Species and long before he had developed an articulated concept of natural selection, but The experience did inspire him to remark how it made intuitive sense that as the population of mankind spread across the Earth, that it would have differentiated and adapted to different climates in accordance with whatever underlying principles had driven the same process he had observed this happening with other species.

If curious, Google around for Jemmy Button and York Minster, these being too individuals who had been kidnapped from Tierra del Fuego and taken to England on a prior Beagle expedition, and returned on the one accompanied by Darwin.

I completely agree that "actual GDPR-compliance" is always superior, but some companies have spent months preparing for GDPR, involving their engineering and legal team.

My thinking is that analog signals are a more natural and effective processing medium for hardware neural nets. The "memory" component of the chip might be constant signals representing the weight of each (initial) connection in the network, which amplifies the down-stream signal.

Contrast this with digital circuits where the amplification of each transistor is a high/low signal from an upstream transistor which represents a 0/1, making it a switch.
