Yeah I'm not trying to imply they're the same physical cause, just the same philosophical perception of ickiness. How to phrase better? Newton had issues with aether messing philosophically with local realism. Einstein fixed that through SR and then GR. But then QM introduced new problems with local realism, and maybe the next physics revolution is reconciling that problem. So, not the same thing, but perhaps two different sides of the same million-sided armchair-philosophical dice.
Welcome to hacker news. A few days ago we have some drivel from the nytimes [2000] on the front with no comments and no votes. Sometimes you wonder if HN is broken.
Are you saying you have committs in cron, SysV init and in the Linux kernel?
A 20€ million fine for that would not be proportionate, nor would they have taken into account the relevant factors ("the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement [...] as well as [...] and the level of damage suffered by them").

Edit: typo (proportional->proportionate)
It also makes researching what they talked about much much easier. I can google “demyelination” while some metaphorical treatment of the topic involving insulated wires may be substantially less amenable to that.
I guess citizens of all other countries fall under a single category? I could only find dates for the countries you mentioned. There is no delay for Canadians or say Australian citizens?
When my state first imposed mandatory use of seat belts in cars, the public was assured that "this will not be enforced as a primary offense, only secondary if you are already violating some other law e.g. speeding, expired plates, etc."

Well that caveat was not actually written in the law, and enforcement changed later. Now you can be pulled over and fined for nothing other than not wearing a seat belt.

So whatever "they say" about enforcement is meaningless. You can only consider what is actually written in the law.
It still doesn't sound like it would work with a lot of direction-depended specular reflections or reflective surfaces.
I'm not sure why they would compare to the Samsung 970 EVO (budget) and not the 970 PRO. Looks to to head to head in random read /writes and the 970 PRO is faster at sequential operations
Nothing will beat a workload requiring 16GB of RAM, than a system with 16GB+ of RAM. You don't even need to benchmark to know that much.
I'm sorry, but that last phrase "instant financial annihilation at the whim of a foreign government" is so hyperbolic as to border on FUD.

Here is a fact. If your business complied with EU data protection laws, GDPR is only an incremental step. And, here is another fact. The EU is nowhere near as litigious as the United States. GDPR may levy some intense fines at repeat offenders, particularly those who haven't been in compliance with any data security/protection law from the last twenty years. But to claim "financial annihilation at the whim of a foreign government"?? That's just poor taste.
It’s not true. I bought the previous model and it wasn’t anywhere near the expected step up from the 960 NVMe (which is admittedly stupid fast already).
No. But I have commits in lots of things and I've definitely dealt with the code of several cron implementations and the Linux kernel, among other kernels.

> There are also observable signs that automation wasn’t to blame. Consider the shuttering of some 78,000 manufacturing plants between 2000 and 2014, a 22% drop. This is odd given that robots, like humans, have to work somewhere.

We need more information to tell if that is odd. Yes, robots, like humans, have to work somewhere--but robots, unlike humans, don't care where that somewhere is.

Plants using mostly human labor face more size constraints, I'd expect, than do plants using mostly robot labor. Adding more humans to a plant means you need more housing in the nearby communities, more traffic capacity, bigger schools, and so on. There are limits on how fast communities can add those things, so you can end up having to have several plants in different communities.

With a mostly robotic plant, your growth constraints are land, energy infrastructure, and transportation infrastructure to bring in raw materials and ship your output.

I'd expect, then, that a company using mostly robot plants would move to have a smaller number of larger plants for a given level of output than would a company using mostly human plants.
Thanks for the Matt Levine pointer, I read through a couple of articles and learned a lot. Will definitely subscribe!

Although I generally agree with the notion that retail/hobby investors likely won't be able to "strike gold" with some novel investing algorithm or philosophy, I don't believe that should discourage said investors from picking stocks. I think it comes down more to the mindset of the investor...

It would be wrong for the hobby investor to rely on their stock picks as a main source of revenue (or as the focus of their retirement portfolios) without making it a 60+ hour full-time job. However if you have some funds that you can "afford to lose" and are interested in learning more about how markets, industries, and companies work, I think investing in individual stocks is one of the more interesting ways to learn. To me I see investing in individual stocks as a sort of forcing function for me to test different hypotheses on how companies and industries will grow and change, while also staying up to date on what is happening in the world :)

If an individual has the luxury of having some funds they can safely put in the stock market, and have an interest in experimenting/playing around in the market, then I would definitely think that its at least worth trying out.
What makes you think they don't do that? Of course they do that. They even send chinese women to seduce lonely pathetic FBI/CIA/etc officials to get information. There was a huge story about it a few years ago.

But everyone does it. The brits, french, russians, koreans, japanese, germans, saudis, etc all do it. Hell the nation with the largest spy network in the US is our ally Israel.

The chinese are amateurs when it comes to spying on the internet or in the real world. Once they get to israel's level, then you the media won't even report on their spying and if they do, they'll make excuses for it.
There's no reason for them to do that.

Look, their goal here is compliance. They don't want to fine a company into oblivion, because that just encourages companies to be fearful and do what you're doing: cut ties with the EU entirely. And that's not a win for them either.

I get that it's hard to trust governments, but remember that they're still made up of people. If you deal with the regulators in a straightforward way, and cooperate to the best of your ability, they're not going to stick it to you. No, I don't know that for every single instance. But I also don't know a lot of other things that can add risk to a business, but that doesn't stop me from doing business in general.

But sure, if you've done the math, and the cost of compliance isn't worth the EU revenue you'd otherwise get to keep, that's your call. I'm just getting a little tired of all the FUD getting spread around GDPR.
And doing your GUI with Tkinter, which has an API that fits incredibly well with Python is a problem because...?
Do yourself a favour. Spend some time and read other EU laws with teeth. Look at the theoretical maximum versus the practical. Then come back and try these same arguments.
automation is clearly not sufficiently advanced that no Chinese laborers need be exposed to benzene to sate the global appetite for cheap sneakers.

the trouble with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money; modern socialism tries to get around this problem by positing that there will eventually be infinite resources thanks to automation, so we should just start acting like that's already the case.
Thanks for posting about Kishi. I never knew about this aspect of the history in Japan. Went down a rabbit hole reading about things like Unit 731 and Shiro Ishii. Crazy that most of the Unit 731 folks were never charged with war crimes. Hard to believe stuff like Unit 731, concentration camps, and usage of atomic weapons on civilians happened still less than 100 years ago.

I've been thinking recently that physics should import an idea from software engineering: the test harness. For physics, the test harness would include a large database of X/Y pairs where X represents an experimental configuration and Y represents the outcome.

Theories of physics would be instantiated as software libraries. The most modern physics library would pass the vast majority of the tests, by correctly predicting the outcome Y for every configuration X. But since physics is not yet complete, there would presumably be some tests that the best current theories cannot pass, or can only pass by jumping through some really ugly hoops - such as postulating the existence of dark matter and energy.

To be taken seriously when proposing a new theory, a researcher must submit an update to the current library, and show that the new theory passes all the tests. The research can also identify new X/Y combinations, not covered in the current test suite, where the new theory diverges from the old one. Experimentalists could then decide the question by running the corresponding experiments and adding the results to the main suite.
Hey, cool project!

I’m not sure I agree that the input is more readable, but good nonetheless.

If I had the choice, I’d move the syntax closer to Haskell do-notation than Python, but that’s just me.
According to the people we have spoken to, it's reasonably possible that judgments for GDPR fines can be domesticated in the US. Once domesticated, they carry the same force and effect as a judgment issued by a US court. The legal processes for this generally already exist, although there are no GDPR-specific treaties, and it isn't guaranteed that this would occur for GDPR fines - it would be up to the US court system. Like many other aspects of GDPR, it is uncertain at this time. However, I don't want to be the first test case.

If there's one good thing that's coming out of stories like this, it's that I (as a non-EU citizen) can avoid companies like this that clearly don't care enough about being good stewards of my personal data.

I actually posted this article because of the rest of the other content in it. There is only one paragraph mentioning ethnic biases.
Personally I've never seen a truly great elegant system.

The real world is messy, ugly, full of edge cases, and convoluted.

An elegant solution will solve 70% maybe 80% of the problem, but never all of it.

Realy great engineering, which I feel I have yet to achieve, is managing that complexity and this edge cases and the mess that is the "real world" in a way that is maintainable and manageable and works for all.
Leaking data is generally considered shit so quite right - get a grip on your security.

Complying with a request to be forgotten is surely not too hard and also you still have a right to hold on to probably all Ukelele sales related data for your reasonable accounting purposes. IP address - maybe not unless you use an IPSEC VPN for support 8)

It really is not as bad as you imply. Bear in mind these regs are designed to be complied with by EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS (BIG OR SMALL, TECHNICALLY SOPHISTICATED OR NOT) IN THE ENTIRETY OF THE EU. You are a HN commentator with ~9500 karma - you are probably not stupid and will cope fine.

Its not really a bad idea to take a long look at the data you hold and consider its lifecycle in your org. If it helps, I (UK IT business owner) am not frantically removing IP addresses from logs. I am however enjoying the thought that some bloody stupidly large email accounts will become indefensible, post 25 May. Also the stupid "archives" of old customer docs can damn well get deleted, rather than cluttering up my file servers.
This is already essentially how it works. A new theory has to be complementary to old ones. This is often said in terms of “matching the predictions of...” another theory. There are more standards of course, but that’s the baseline. A lot of pet theories people have for things like QM fall apart because they don’t match the tested predictions of QM. For example, Special and General Relativity make new and more accurate predictions which complement, but do not contradict Newtonian theory.

An issue with a theory replacing QM for example, other than the high degree of precision needed, is Bell’s Theorem, which tends to rule out LHV theories. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem

I think playback speed can mask the problem the OP is describing. There are effectively an unlimited number of these programs. Someone cutting the time by 10-40% is often just going to fill up the remaining time with more of the same.

The other consequence of compressing time is the podcast requires more concentration. If it’s not too valuable it might be less of a waste of time to listen slowly enough that another activity can be done without missing much.

The best solution is to only listen to great shows that your future self will approve of, which isn’t easily done. :)

(And yes, Pocket Casts is great at saving time - I’ve shaved off weeks at this point.)
Am I missing the racial component here? It just sounds like a very religious woman who was concerned about them wearing metal shirts. I've had people freak out over the same thing, as have my metalhead friends. All white.
It's a misappropriation of an operator. C had a "definition" for them, and this completely disregards that definition. It's one of the biggest things people cry about when custom operators are brought up in other languages, because C++ really dropped the ball here in using operators in a sane way.
That is great to hear! A few things I'd really like to see:

Re: geoblocking — that’s the problem with this law. Shouldn’t individuals be allowed to consent to their data being used? Shouldn’t individuals be allowed to choose what services they use? What about VPN? A Dutch citizen is still Dutch regardless of their IP address and thus they are still “protected” regardless of IP. Also discrimination based on citizenship or national origin is illegal, but to comply with GDPR, we’re going to be forced to discriminate. Europeans are going to become second class digital citizens because compliance risk is simply too high except for the Facebooks and Googles of the world.

The law has a bunch of unintended consequences that are about to be unleashed. Or maybe, they are consequences that are fully indended: a de facto trade barrier against non-European companies who’s own laws conflict with GDPR.
Optanes reach their performance at much lower queue depth.
I think there's some value for swapping out one semantically opaque word that seems intimidating/"engineer-y" for another equally semantically opaque word that instead connotes "hey, I'm on your side in helping you understand this".

Ie, the value isn't in the word choice itself, but rather in signalling that you empathize with your audience's discomfort.
> How can we be required to delete IP addresses in our logs yet also be required to keep access audit logs for 7 years.

I don't know where you got this idea, but I strongly suggest you find someone who has experience with the GDPR and discuss this with them. These two things are not even remotely close to any grey areas that could land someone in hot water.
It's a mistake to look for the single reason someone won an election. There are always many causal factors, all working together, which result in the outcome.
Complying with the law that prevents certain business practices and using user data for your own ends isn't censorship, just as not being able to sell water labelled as vodka isn't censorship.

What a dirtbag.
> How can we be required to delete IP addresses in our logs yet also be required to keep access audit logs for 7 years.

IANAL but from what I read and heard (indirectly) from lawyers at work this is not a problem. GDPR doesn't apply to data that you are required to keep for other legal reasons.
The best company I've ever worked for had no managers (beside owners). They made it to $1B, loved by HN crowd, their products used by many of you, and nobody ever wanted to manage anything there. People just discussed stuff and decided to do whatever looked super interesting. One team there had actually a person that was behaving like a manager, and that product completely flopped on the market.
>How can we be required to delete IP addresses in our logs yet also be required to keep access audit logs for 7 years.

Then you may well be able to rely on the Legal Obligation basis for processing, namely that “processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.”
Why would they? What happens here clearly falls under the umbrella of revenge porn, which is illegal in the US.
Most data is collected by either:

a.) Voluntarily giving information in exchange for a discount (Rewards cards, sales, kickbacks, etc.)

b.) Voluntarily using a service that is known to collect data about you (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, your ISPs DNS, etc.)

c.) Voluntarily sending some kind of descriptor that says "track me with this number" (advertising)

I'm not disputing that there is some data collected about people that they never consented to, but the bulk of the problem is data that is taken voluntarily because people are apathetic.
Guy sounds like an asshole, I'm pretty sure theres plenty Vietnamese during the Vietnam War who didn't love the "war".

War sounds sexy from afar because theres relief to soldiers with guns who can later on just leave that life and rest with their actual kids while Vietnamese civilians wander around trying to survive and not die from bombings, shootings or to be played around by soldiers from any side. One can ask any Syrian refugee about how much they love the Syrian Civil War to understand this.

My consensus is basically if you have some kind of power or can be relieved later on, war is a great experience. If its your actual life, then you dread walking outside to gather supplies and food to survive. War is only fun when you actually have some decent control over it.
I've got AT&T fiber using a BGW210-700 with firmware 1.5.11 and 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 have been and still are blocked for me. I'll be keeping an eye on it to see if it changes.
Hypotheticals don't have to be reasonable or realistic to serve their purpose.

As I said I am not qualified to judge how hard this is, but:

I don't really like working in an IDE, or need to. I am happy to design GUI components in a markup language, for the kind of use cases I am talking about.

However would it not be possible to hide the complexities of managing a GUI in the framework/bindings so that the Python user just has to deal with "Someone clicked OK>Run this function" in as easy a way as VB did?

It was enacted at the EU (err: thingie) level in 2016 and required that all EU member states enact local legislation within two years, deadline 25 May 2018.

The EU is pretty complicated. Oh and by the way, the UK will 99.99999% maintain GDPR related statutes on the books, post Brexit. Either that or we are madder than I thought.
Where can I read a comparison of the two? Also, it seems like a bad naming scheme to use as it's easy to confuse.

It's difficult to gauge how well-liked a policy is when you're in a country that very plainly has no free speech. To see why, imagine what would get posted to Facebook if you got a free ice cream cone for expressing support of the free ice cream Facebook posting law. (I.e. even people who didn't support it would pretend to in order to "get theirs.")
I think this is a nice start. I'd like to see you take it further.

The problem I have with your list is that it treats depression as a black box, and the solution is to throw random things at it until something sticks. There are things that can be done to better identify underlying causes. For example, your list should touch on deficiencies in iron and B12. Your symptoms can also be a clue as to which neurotransmitters are involved.

Solutions need to tie back to causes. Vitamin D supplements are useful if you have a substantial Vitamin D deficiency. All the serotonin supplements in the world aren't going to help if your issue isn't a shortage of serotonin or its precursors. Understanding how different solutions relate to causes (and therefore relate to each other) gives you a smarter way to approach solutions.

Full disclosure.. my psychiatrist wife and I are working on a book to help people approach mental health care in a more systematic way, trying to take the magic black box out of it. A big part is also on how you can best work with the resources you have available (we're in Canada, so different but comparable range of limitations as in the UK).
Hm yeah I was hoping to do it in a way that's compatible with unmodified bash, but maybe it will only be compatible with Oil to start.

Basically I think there should be a "coprocess protocol" that makes persistent processes look like batch processes, roughly analogous to CGI or FastCGI.

I thought that could be built on top of bash, but perhaps that's not possible.

I'll need to play with it a bit more. I think in bash you can have named multiple coprocesses with their descriptors stored in an array like ${COPROC[@]} or ${MY_COPROC[@]}. But there are definitely issues around process lifetimes, including the ones you point out. Thanks for the feedback.
