To find the bug is impressive. To write about it so well is truly exceptional.
Was your equity vested in any case? Any insight into the sleight of hand that went on?
It would be helpful if you'd make a substantive argument instead of just assuming that your position is obviously the correct one.

You are assuming too much. You are assuming that I am "defending a position" when I'm just doing exactly what it seems I'm doing: asking a question.

If you're just interested in being snarky, there are other communities that value that sort of thing more.

Wow!
That's a joke. Look at the Casablanca Stock Exchange, $70b. Egypt $400b. South African about $1 trillion. Daily volume is between $50 - $200 million or so. And no, not just European or Asian companies. Plenty of national infrastructure companies, telecom, banking etc.
Legal advice would be useful, at least in conjunction with any other advice.

Some lawyers charge a flat fee for a one-off consultation about questions such as yours in connection with a potential separation employment, including the "small amount" of equity you've got, any potential agreements or restrictions you may be under, etc.

If the choice is between you getting a "sweet deal" or the dealer making a profit, you will lose every time. Rebates and magic 0% interest are designed to get you to sign on the dotted line without reading the fine print.
constexpr in this case seems like a nice and less magic replacement for SFINAE, which always seemed like a bit of a hack
The sun puts out enormous amounts of blue light. Yet actual research[1] shows that children with more exposure to UV-B (obviously highly correlated with sunlight exposure) are less likely to suffer from myopia. This site just says 'blue light is bad for you' and presents no scientific research. And is literally selling blue light blocking lenses.

But can't just any program do that as soon as you're logged in? (Since your login password basically unlocks the DP-API which is protected at rest.)

This might be the funniest thing I've read all day. It's either incredibly snarky / cutting or adorably out of touch / oblivious.
Agreed. I used to be on the .NET hate bandwagon because I didn't understand it and conforming to MS was more of a business-suit idea for me. However, EF + LINQ + expression trees are amazing.
Yeah and then you can simply change the movie pass feature and add some other type of subscription model and sell stuff to your user base.

It's a smart way to grow your app, but they need to be smart to sell something good to monetize their usr base wel now.
Yes, in that case they would have to have a designated representative. I'm working on that particular angle at the moment but it is a rather complex affair and I don't want to commit to this before I'm all lawyered up and read up on the responsibilities and the risks.

Within 5 minutes of arriving in Barcelona, a friend of mine was pickpocketed. Slick operation, 2 pretty girls as distraction and a boy to do the deed. We grabbed him and he gave it back and then the three of them just wandered off as if it was nothing. Which I suppose for them it was. This was in the main train station so there were cameras, cops around, clearly no deterrent.
Let's try a thought experiment. To make things easier, imagine you're 21 years old, not 18, and have made up those 3 years working in the industry. You found this vulnerability, and have decided not to submit it for a bounty, but rather to the black market.

Who do you sell it to? I assume your answer will involve putting it up on some darknet version of Craigslist. That's fine, but then tell me: who's paying for it? What price do they assign to it? For instance: if you think you can sell it for $50k, who's paying that, and for what purpose?

Finally, what are the steps you take to safely complete the transaction?

(This is intended only to clarify arguments about the market for vulnerabilities like these, and not to suggest that the finding and the writeup aren't excellent, which they sure appear to be.)
Search for the phrase, "Do I need a (dedicated) Data Protection Officer?"

You will see that the only two options that he discusses are having a dedicated Data Protection Officer versus a designated Data Protection Officer. With the difference being whether they are your full time employee doing nothing else, versus a part time responsibility.

Neither in the article nor in his comments here does he admit the possibility that it might be a role that you don't actually need filled.
I think you missed /my/ point. What happens when you "remove the cruft" (parentheses) from the following:

(defun example ()
(ascertain that (+ 1 1) is 2)
(ascertain that (+ 1 1) is not zero)
(ascertain that 0 is not zero)
(ascertain that 0 is zero)
(ascertain that (+ 2 2) is 5)
(ascertain that (+ 2 2) is not 5)
(ascertain that (+ 2 2) is = 4.0)
(ascertain that (+ 1 1) is member of '(1 2 3))
(ascertain that 0 is a member of '(1 2 3))
(ascertain that pi is not a member of '(foo bar zot pi))
(ascertain that (error "blah") signals simple-error)
(ascertain that (error "blah") signals a serious-condition)
(ascertain that (error 'unexpected-result) signals an unexpected-result))

Does it look like Python?
Thanks! I think we’re basically in agreement then, as all of my responses were predicted on the incorrect belief that you were using common sense as an argument against AI.

I certainly agree that humans can accurately extrapolate — for example what a cat is likely to do next — with what seems like less data than any current machine learning system.

I suspect have my suspicions why, but to keep this short I’ll only say “catastrophic forgetting”, and separately that the normal approach in ML seems to be like teaching kids “by asking them random questions from the set of things we expect them to know at 18”, to almost-quote one of the podcasts I listen to.
We've been waiting an awful long time for that and "duel the 303" through Somerset.
What does the R in PECR and GDPR stand for, and why do you think these are different?

PECR is the implementation of http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX:320... which is European law.

There are a number of regulatory actions available to eg ICO if companies are violating PECR.

https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/what-we-do/taking-action-pr...

> There are a number of tools available to the Information Commissioner’s Office for taking action to change the behaviour of anyone who breaches the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). They include criminal prosecution, non-criminal enforcement and audit. The Information Commissioner also has the power to serve a monetary penalty notice imposing a fine of up to £500,000.

> These powers are not mutually exclusive. We will use them in combination where justified by the circumstances.

I'd agree that the lack of enforcement of PECR certainly makes it feel like just a suggestion.
ouch, that's kind of harsh. You make a lot of assumptions.
It's a tradeoff, though.
For 99% of LOB applications the odd details of specific database implementations are irrelevant and can be ignored by even a team of mediocre developers.
Most businesses are mostly interested in selling 5-10x the number of licenses for 1.1x the cost. (Or, like the sibling comment pointed out for 0.9x the cost because you can usually ignore much of the annoying boilerplate) Performance frequently is more than "good enough" and in the 1% case where it isn't, most ORMs will let you write custom SQL (or, you can always write it outside the ORM). Sometimes the best and cheapest solution to performance problems is to simply throw more hardware at it.
IME, most developers are terrible at writing queries with or without an ORM.

There are certainly use cases where ORMs are not appropriate at all but the ability to evaluate your situation and recognize the tools that are appropriate and those that are not is an important skill in the software industry in general and is not limited to ORMs.
If only Rework was required reading...

I honestly think you could make an entire college course just based on the stuff that the Basecamp guys have put out there. I don't necessarily agree with their perspective 100%, but it's valuable to consider vastly different viewpoints.
My current car has it. The person you're replying to is still correct, if you need to "disengage from driving" then pull over and take a break.

Adaptive cruise control makes driving less stressful/more pleasant but you still have to be mentally there. No system is full proof, and certainly not at this stage.
I'm 60 years old. I'm teaching myself node.js and related tools. I find great joy in learning anyway but networked computers are still as amazing to me now as they were when I first encountered them in the 70s.

If you ever speak to Masako, please tell her she inspired an old geek in America.
I'd suspect it's easier for children to learn unfamiliar spoken languages than adults (they don't have to un-learn certain patterns from a native language).

I'd postulate it's probably easier for trained adults to learn new programming languages as they're more familiar with structured syntax and the semantics involved, and are more likely to have exposure/experience with a similar language. Also, concepts from one programming language carry over to another, even if they're expressed differently.

I don't have any studies to back this up; it's just my gut-feel.
Or, she was just bored. Projecting the capitalist point of view on old japanese people is very naive.
> I can almost guarantee the problem is caused by the brake pads glazing over.

That's actually a very reasonable explanation. I can't say I'm a car expert, but your logic at least sounds correct.
If you don't like the conversation you can tell him that, but how do you think some of these startups made it. They were hustling. Airbnb sold obama o's. I can't blame people for trying. I am not a fan of MLM, but a lot of times people get breaks by hustling.

My experience with Barcelona too, I witnessed a botched pickpocketing attempt just to the person next to me, when arriving to Plaza Catalunya. Way to give a bad first impression, after that the rest of the week was fine.
Isn't this neglecting the forward velocity and momentum?

According to theory, the width of a tire has zero effect on tire grip. Race cars and high-performance cars prove this is incorrect: there's a reason they have wide tires (which also cause poorer fuel economy through extra friction). Tires and their interaction with the road are a lot more complex than some simple physics equations.
Something like jOOQ allows you to use the fancy SQL features while still keeping portability.
I don't care about what you think about "black stereotypes".

But try to see the difference between welcoming Uganda (based on a statistic they are the most welcoming nation to foreigners) and Ethiopians. Yet, they are nearly neighbors.

I don't dislike that the Ethiopians are reserved. What did one of the rangers tell me? We are dirty. We don't have showers. We don't have washing machines. We are dirty. But we know that we are dirty. We are dirty but not stupid!
It’s a cat and dog relation, US firms also tend to see EU in an adversorial way, so it seems logical it’s reciprocated by EU players.

The fact that Google and Amazon have an US heavy consumer focus (new product will be developped and validated for the US first) doesn’t help that perception either.
I'm not talking about the DPO. That's from article 37 and has nothing to do with the representative required under Article 27.

The Article 27 representative must be in the Union, which is why it can be problematical for a company whose office and employees are all outside the Union.
Hmm, that makes sense.

Its like the whole "area" doesn't matter as well. I can't help but think that maybe the Newtonian friction model is overly simple sometimes. Surely weight and surface area would have an effect?

But perhaps not really. Or at least, not in a way that's very measurable.

Ah, well now that is arguably something that the Aphex Twin didn't do.
Fivestars (YC W11) is hiring a PM leader to make commerce human
Fivestars was founded seven years ago as a loyalty program. We replaced the punch card. That product has done well for us - today 35 million consumers check in 1.2 million times every week. Our mission, however, transcends loyalty. Our mission is to turn transactions into relationships.

In a world ten years from now, when we can get anything we want delivered to our bedsides, I believe we’ll get out of bed in the morning to experience human relationships. It is this desire to connect that will drive us into restaurants, coffee shops, or our local bar.

I joined Fivestars over other great options because of our opportunity to serve this desire - to make commerce human. That opportunity is exciting; and ultimately I chose it instead of joining one of the familiar tech giants where I’d be scaling someone else’s product.

To seize this opportunity we must build a product that helps consumers understand we’re more than a punch card replacement. Consumers must seek out FiveStars as a way to connect with and advocate for the small businesses storefronts they love.

If our mission excites you, and you’re up for the challenge of helping us move past loyalty, then we want to get to know you.

We’re looking for product managers (senior-director) with 7+ years of experience. Shoot me an email with some examples of your prior work. Resumes are fine, but optional.

You could get surprisingly far on obesity simply by removing agricultural subsidies. If corn & soybeans cost their actual market price, we wouldn't be putting high-fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated soybean oil into every single processed food made. No additional regulations needed, no additional taxes, and most of the impact comes out of Monsanto's bottom line rather than individual farmers - just let the damn free market do its job and stop with a massive corporate welfare program.

Then again, good luck. The farm lobby is strong, the ag-tech lobby is even stronger, and removing handouts to America's heartland has proven politically unpopular in the past.
White Gloves or Not White Gloves (2011)
The idea that someone would do work because they enjoy it seems entirely foreign to the parent. Although I suppose that is a more western perspective as well. Sure we have that whole "do what you love" bit, but there seems to be an appreciation of "craftsmanship" for lack of a better term that the Japanese have and we seem to have largely forgotten.
Like everything else in life, moderation is key. Hot air in a sauna every once in a while is not going to be a problem (assuming you're otherwise healthy). Concentrated hot steam multiple times a day for months at a time could cause health problems.
No idea why we call them swedes and rutabaga has been mentally stashed away - thanks. If you find swedes/rutabagas a bit boring texture-wise and a bit sweet on their own - try mixing with carrot.

The ListServe Experiment..Says Goodbye
I have a Honda Fit and it's a beautiful car. I am in love with it, and I don't think I will ever buy another type of car again. The maintenance costs are ultra low, much lower than my Honda Accord.

But there is no way it gets 35 mpg. I have been keeping track meticulously and the maximum I get is about 30 mpg, and it drops to 27 if I do any city driving. If I do only highway driving, I can get up to 320 miles in a single tank, but I'm driving on fumes at the end. I normally get about 280 miles per tank, which is about 27 mpg at 10.6 gallons.

Also, with my 2011 Honda Fit, I'm at 120k miles. I've had 2 sets of new tires, but no other maintenance besides regularly scheduled maintenance.
And don't forget this bit - "By comparison, car ownership cost $11,783 per year, most of it depreciation."
He's including what is basically an accounting measurement, not an actual out-of-pocket cost!

I wonder what his "savings" would look like if he used only 1 car for himself and didn't get to write off $500+ a month in depreciation.
A tourist.

Everywhere else, the touristy places are well policed. Seemed the opposite in Barcelona.

All the same, the only time I didn't have that weird feeling of dread was when I went off the beaten path and away from the touristy areas.
Well, I once worked on a 1 MLOC (as far as that’s relevant) high school SaaS administration system providing services for a large chunk of the Dutch market. Hibernate, EHcache and cache synchronization across applications (with an Electronic Learning Environment) all worked well. The team of 12 developers with a small minority had expert knowledge in Hibernate and cache management.

The biggest problem I often see in large DB systems is the lack of proper normalization, leading to very wide tables and subsequently causing performance problems (both due to reduced scanning speed and ORMs tendency to just pull in all attributes of selected rows).

Another problem with Hibernate is the proper demarcation of transactional boundaries, causing DB inconsistencies. Very important to get right.

I could go on, but then this would become a blog post. In any case, I feel that a functional mapping over the SQL AST and result sets using Scala and Slick (for example) leads to much higher versatility, places computation closer to storage and provides better abstraction possibilities. This, in turn, reduces the complexity of the middle layer.
You could argue JWST will be doing self assembly on orbit with the deployment of the primary mirror. There is some very fine wave front adjustment that needs to happen there. They are putting a 6.5 meter mirror on orbit! That alone puts it in a tie for the 14th largest telescope primary mirror when you include Earth-based ones. Very impressive in my book.

For the uninitiated, vgo has a way to blacklist/exclude certain versions of dependency modules, but it only works for the top-level module being built. Exclusions from deeper dependencies are not honored in order to avoid an np-complete satisfiability problem (https://research.swtch.com/vgo-mvs).
Because a basic e-commerce site could easily accumulate in the 10's of thousands of records over a couple of years of operation. Besides that is is a 'free' operation, simply say 'Joe is our DPO' (assuming Joe agrees, and if you're a sole proprietor you are Joe).

The designated representative however is another matter.

The specific part in the law that triggers this requirement is that almost every e-commerce site qualifies size wise ('the numbers of data subjects involved') and technology wise (analytics, A/B testing, funnels and recommendation systems).

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da...

Would be a good document to review.

If the numbers are low (100's), there is no tracking, no recommendation systems and no analytics then you are right, in that case you do not need a DPO, but even then I would still assign the role since it is free.
Because, in practice, a lot of people commenting don't actually read the article. As a convenience I've copied the opening paragraphs from the Wikipedia article. Is that against HN rules / norms?
These are quite beautiful. If you are willing, I would to add these examples to the Sporth distribution.

To be honest, you're not missing too much with PolySporth. Actually, you're better off pretending it doesn't exist for now ;) It was an experiment that tried to add concepts like polyphony and note events in time. Despite the serious time investments I put into it, I have never seriously used it. Maybe someday I'll re-examine it and do something interesting with it.

Happy Sporthing,

-P
I am surprised as you. Perhaps people who get started working on it quickly end up working on distributed file systems in general, and disappear in that hole.
The tech industry is full of people who don't need to work. Elon Musk could have comfortably retired in 1999 after Compaq bought Zip2. Would the world be a better place if he had done so?

It's an unfortunate reality that many older Japanese people have no choice but to keep working; with that said, I applaud anyone who chooses to use their retirement to learn new skills, explore new opportunities and keep making a contribution to society.
This was a great online experiment.

What is it?

1. The Listserve is a massive e-mail list -- a 'listserv.'

2. Each day, one person is randomly selected to write one e-mail to the growing list. That's the only e-mail allowed to be sent to The Listserve.

(And the winner's e-mail address won't be disclosed to the listserv -- unless they want it to be.)

3. Tune in above. Let's see what happens.
