What worked for me was to do more stretches on the forearms there was one that was particularly useful in helping to release the ulnar nerve.
And yet, here you are on hacker news, and extremely heavily moderated forum.

The only way for popular forums to maintain interesting content is moderation. Otherwise the top posts tend towards generic mush that is vaguely interesting to most, and extremely interesting to very few.
The upside is that the Raspberry Pi has good documentation.

The downside is that you'll need to emulate 4 cores plus a GPU. Guest software (the stuff being emulated) may fail if the cores aren't decently fast. You may also need to do USB, audio, wireless LAN, and Ethernet.
It's often used (as in this case) a colloquial term alluding age via hair color (IOW, "white-haired" old people).
At a guess, 1980 marked the rise of the "Christian right" / "religious right" as organized forces in conservative politics. Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority was founded in 1979, for instance.
Isn't the burden on the data controller to ensure that they only transmit data to processors that are setup to handle deletion requests? In this case, that'd mean Pintrest or whoever is required to get their advertising partners or API consumers to setup some kind of webhook or feed for deletion requests.
You've rediscovered ageism, congratulations!

Does this mean the quaint guest book visitors could sign at the hotel I stayed in a couple weeks ago would be illegal under the GDPR?
On the contrary, as an American not involved in government work, Kaspersky is one few AV products I'd trust. American antivirus makers like Symantec, Comodo, McAfee, Microsoft (Defender), Webroot, and CheckPoint are all subject to secret warrants and infiltration by the US government. Others, like the UK's Sophos, would be subject to US influence as well.

You have to think about the motivations of each country. Even if Kaspersky were spying for the Russians, they won't give a damn about your porn, tax cheating, affairs, your padding of expense reports, or whatever they find on your computer. As an American, it's MY government that I'd have to worry about.
> How long did it take you to learn colemac?

Not the guy you replied to, but I switched to Colemak last year. It took me about 3 weeks to get to a "usable" state, and maybe 2 months to get within 75% of my previous speed with qwerty. My progression was roughly:

0-1 weeks: Can't type anything without looking at the key map. I would switch back to Qwerty if I needed to type something long out (emails mainly).

1-2 weeks: Weird phase. I can't effectively type in either qwerty or Colemak unless I really "focus" on it. It's hard to describe, but this week was terrible for productivity :)

3+ weeks: Forced myself to use Colemak exclusively. During this time I started doing real typing exercises, and turned off autocomplete in my IDE, since I found that was detrimental to learning. I also wrote a ton of documentation for a couple of my projects, which involved a lot of typing.

Before I switched, I would get intermittent pain in my wrist (maybe twice a month), which has since completely disappeared. When I need to type in Qwerty now, it is very uncomfortable, in a way that Colemak never was.
By this definition, python has a nice locally defined property that it will always terminate ;)
Europe is 500 million potential users, so if you're not privately held, then you also need to explain to stockholders that you intent to leave that market open to competitors. Sure all EU citizens aren't equally wealthy, but a large number of those 500 million are in a lucrative segment.

Let's say that Instagram decides that the EU isn't worth the hassle, and leaves. Now competitors have 500 million users to target and build a platform for, without the annoying interference from US based companies. If some is successful under the GDPR, there's no real reason they could easily enter other, less strict markets later, using the profit from their EU business,.
If you read that 5 times over, maybe it's worth including more of the context of the phrase:

> Mr. Roth was the last of the great white males: the triumvirate of writers — Saul Bellow and John Updike were the others — who towered over American letters in the second half of the 20th century.

Seems that "great white males" refers to a specific trio of writers -- all white men -- who were seen as the giants of American literature in a specific era in history.

What's your specific objection?
True! And I forgot that aspect of the scoring system.
In Sweden we have a mandatory tax on all storage units, harddrives, dvds usb drives, you name it. This is to combat piracy and the loss of profit for companies.

Of course this was pushed through by US lobbyists and, you guessed it, that's where the money goes as well.
I'm an accountant but work consulting as a data/software "engineer" (or in those roles). For a while I got excited by all the "data science" books, until I admitted to myself 2 years ago that without the Math & Stats background, I'm wasting my time.

I went back to varsity (part time) this year, studying Applied Maths and Stats. Even with the basics that I now know, going through this book; I can feel that a glass ceiling is broken.

I'm going to print it bit by bit, and study its contents (after my exams). Thanks!
How computers misunderstand the world
I strongly disagree with this. I am a WASP whose family came to the US in 1620 and diversity in America is imperative. I don't think any racial group should particularly have a majority. If I've learned anything recently, a muslim man was lynched in India for killing a cow, it is illegal to eat in public on Ramadan in muslim majority countries or the chinese treatment of Uyghurs. We are strong through diversity and secularism, as much as I want economic prosperity that a pure merit based system can potentially bring. I think we can have a diversity oriented immigration system that works in tandem with being merit based, we must also remember that people of some backgrounds may be more disadvantaged but would similarly work hard given a good opportunity.

I have a very nuanced view on immigration and I tend to be more republican in my views. i.e. Curbing illegal immigration and moving to a merit vs. lottery based system. America is strong through diversity, but it needs to be controlled in an intelligent way.

On the flip side, moderators curate content for Reddit, and are expected to police their users, basically working for free to keep eyeballs on Reddit, for the benefit of the company. They've been begging for more tools since the creation of the site, and using every trick they have to create better content for their users.

Reddit removed some of their dark patterns, because those were the only tools they had, and now their content shows a net loss.

Reddit needs to stop making empty promises, show that they actually care about their moderators, and give them the tools they need. They're dragging their feet on helping mods curate this content and love to wag their fingers at the moderators who are working with rudimentary tools, but they sure do love to name drop the high profile posters they get.

Oh no! Protecting pupil's private information. For me, the shocking part is that the suppliers aren't receiving anonymized data already.

But that's the thing: git is very close to a blockchain!

The only thing that's missing from git that makes it not quite a blockchain is that the way we use git doesn't expect there to be a linear series of commits. But with relatively little effort you can add that to git, making a blockchain out of it.

What blockchains do in cryptocurrencies is not magic: they're just the basic auditing mechanism that allows everyone with a full node to verify that all the rules are being followed by parsing all the transactions. The simplest way to do that is with a linear chain of blocks that you validate, starting at block zero.

All the "magic" is in the consensus mechanisms that decide which chain of blocks is in fact the real chain, not the blockchains themselves.
I'm trying but I can't see the connection to hackernews here.
Some thoughts:

- Mandatory patriotism isn't patriotism.

- 'America right or wrong' obviously condones wrongdoing.

- Keeping politics out of the workplace requires not enforcing political views.

However the title isn't entirely accurate: players may stay in the locker room during the anthem.

"politics/inequity in the tech field" are about tech.
I'd argue at that point it's not a "blockchain", since you are removing one of the major points for using the data structure (the ability to verify the chain without trust).

If you are just going to rely on a central authority to say which blocks should be "ignored" (in other words, which hashes should just be trusted), then why use a blockchain at all? It's just a very slow, complicated, expensive append-only log file.

The only benefit a blockchain provides (for the sake of this discussion) is it's ability for someone to verify it without trust from the genesis block all the way to the most current. You take that away, it's not a blockchain anymore.
but I don't find it valuable for myself. At all. I feel completely empty.
Why would you want to ORDER BY on a UUID field? Not trolling, I honestly can't think of a reason why you would want to do this. Secondly, aren't UUIDs treated by the database engine as a 128-bit integer? If they are being treated as varchar fields then I can see how this would affect performance negatively but again, I question if this is really the case.
It sure wasn't around new years when this happened. The fees dropped because nobody wants to use it anymore, this notably includes Steam and Stripe.
"First I implemented all the Gameboy CPU opcodes. It’s not exactly the Z80, but it’s pretty close" - The CPU is close to 8080 which the Z80 is derived from, so hence the Z80 similarity. However all the main Z80 enhancements are missing. A+B-B=A
Which means we would have to rely on an "Authority" who cannot be independently verified, because we do not know the secret sauce they are using.
We have been told so, if you are publicly displaying personal information about an individual without their permission. Of course their are ways around this, using a single sheet for each person for example.
Also, inserting directly into Redshift is strongly discouraged as it's extremely non-performant.

>An anti-pattern is to insert data directly into Amazon Redshift, with single record inserts or the use of a multi-value INSERT statement, which allows up to 16 MB of data to be inserted at one time. These are leader node–based operations, and can create significant performance bottlenecks by maxing out the leader node network as data is distributed by the leader to the compute nodes.

Only tangentially related but I've found it somewhat ironic that GDPR has resulted in an extreme increase in communications from companies whose email marketing I've unsubscribed from as every company with my email address sends me their updated terms of service, most of which contain marketing surrounding their "transactional" email.
that doesn't make sense, it would make all corporate news letters illegal unless a purchase was made.
FFS, no. It's optional, you volunteered the data, and the data is used for it's intended purposes. This is still fine.

The assumption is Pintrest can't be successful in the EU.
>They're scared because these apps have successfully vertically integrated to become banks.

I'm not sure tech companies really want the core banking business, which is to lend money (taking on credit risk in the process) funded by deposits.

I can imagine Amazon doing it for smaller consumer purchases as they know their customers well. But who will make loans to SMEs and larger retail loans? Google and Apple? I doubt it.

Eventually interest rates will rise and then bad loans will increase, and tech companies will start to wonder if that's really the business they want to be in (like GE has been "wondering" for many years now).

And then there's the regulatory aspect. Do tech companies really want to be regulated as banks? I get the impression that they have daily run-ins with all sorts of regulators already and they're running scared.

> And I would go one step further and say that it is probably in the best long term interest to the US to have a large population of ethnic Chinese, for the same reason that Israel has benefitted so greatly by the US having a large and influential Jewish population.

That doesn't seem to follow, unless you left out a “not” before “in the interest of” or meant “China” the first time you used “US”.

(I'm not endorsing the result of either change as a correct statement, just commenting on the internal coherence of the statement, and particularly the disanalogy between the juxtaposed situations as presented.)
With GDPR the scope of what is actual personal information is broadend. This means that an account number is considered personal information. How is any variant of an ID in a block chain different from an account id?
Hmm. That seems more like something marketing would brag about, with sales being the ones pointing to the lack of corresponding dollars, but what do I know.
Are you not concerned that while some of these costs may not be entirely hidden - they are very often intentionally obfuscated?

It's not exactly analogous to "people should know to avoid credit cards with 20% interest rates" as that interest rate must be openly communicated to the consumer while the collection and sale of my personal data has no such requirement.
Cool. Now how shall the team management demonstrate its patriotism? I'd advocate a rule that says that anyone with more than a 10% share in a team must publish his or her income tax returns; that all teams must prominently publish their tax breaks and subsidies; and that all contributions to any political campaign or organization that may affect the future of the team be printed in the game programs.

Oh, and now that he can't kneel, bring back Colin Kaepernick.
While I think that "stay in the locker room" is probably a reasonable compromise for their complaining advertisers/audience, my concern is the lack of NFLPA mentioning here. Were they involved or is this an owner-only decision? Also, the NFL needs to tread lightly here because they are granted monopoly exemptions by the government in exchange for retaining employee rights above what might be allowed in a more employee-mobile industry.
On an possibly unrelated note it seems my account has developed an issue where the front page tabs only shows articles from the last 12 hours, at best.
It's not that surprising. Typically when you work with Governments, everything is specially done, doubly so for the US Government. Custom Federal forks of the main product (with feature parity), heavily customized SLAs, full access to the source code for review, and lots more to ensure that it meets the US Federal standards.

The Anti-Kaspersky stuff is likely just chest beating. I get it at the base level, and that AV software in general grants a much deeper reach that most softwares, but most likely they're not installing the same Kaspersky that anyone else is.

My current employer is a rather large non-US tech company, and we have custom branches for every product specifically made for the US Federal Government. It's all rebuilt from the ground up on US soil by US Nationals and the US Government has freedom to review the code.

It's the price you pay to play with the US Government. I would find it very hard to believe that Kaspersky doesn't have something similar.
This is one of my huge goals with Talon. I want to convince people who have no symptoms that using voice + eye tracking + etc is cool and will help them in useful / exciting ways. I think RSI is a kind of silent epidemic, and we won't ever solve it by only treating people who already show major symptoms.

On the other hand, it's really not much slower with the state of the art, especially when you mix in stuff like eye tracking at a really core level (we're playing stuff like autocompleting based on a symbol you just looked at!). I'm not far enough along with Talon to be pushing the benchmarking side of things heavily yet, but one early test was about 2/3 the code input performance of a 90wpm typist on the same code, with a lot of obvious places to improve. I think good application of continuous recognition, resumable grammars, and really context-specific helper code can push specific workloads way past what a keyboard/mouse can do (which calls back to the goal of impressing people who aren't injured yet).

Then there's the professional app space - e.g. Photoshop, CADD, and video/audio production tools could really benefit from voice workflows (imagine using a pen tablet augmented with voice + eye tracking instead of complex UI).
Nintendo did more than just dump Sony, they humiliated them.

Originally, Sony was supposed to be Nintendo's partner for the CD-i machine. Nintendo went behind Sony's back and partnered with Phillips.

At the summer 1991 CES when Sony was expecting the CD-i machine and their partnership with Nintendo to be announced, Nintendo announced the product with Phillips as their partner.

I can't help but wonder how much animosity towards Nintendo contributed towards the development of the Playstation 1.
Amazon's beauty contest did seem completely counterintuitive to me. People with skin in the game are always in the know of things. Even if Amazon had not massively advertised its move cities and states would have worked hard to bring them to their shores. I did not understand why ordinary public had to be drawn into it.

Your average joe is always going to oppose a disruption in his otherwise mundane and lazy life.

Apple's strategy is much smarter let the cities secretly do a peacock dance, cut some real under the table secret tax deals and move somewhere else.
Yup, that's true that finishing a project is more than programming skills. You would have to do a lot of boring work on the way. For me, the last 10% of the work which contains more polishing to what you have built so far and making it ready is the hardest part.

But somehow I have successfully done that for my project https://github.com/joyread/server when I launched v1.0 and it is indeed rewarding.
That design breaks the proofs of most distributed cryptocurrencies’ consensus, however.

Since it applies quite a few new rules that pertain to the development of software, many of which do not store data that is that interesting. (Things like the usual user and IP address logging used to fight spammers.)

So the result is that developing software is more complicated and expensive, and hence less services that people want to use (and only services people want to use matter) come into existence, leading to a lower quality of life.
One more possibility: US equipment operated intentionally by covert US personnel. Why? Maybe for simple "field testing." Or as a false flag attack. Or in service of some intra-US political goal (power games don't always cross national borders even when they happen in foreign lands - example: Mr. Diplomat is getting too cozy with Cuba/China, or talking to the "wrong people" in Cuba/China, or is getting dangerously close to stumbling on some important information about US activity in Cuba/China).

Another possibility since we're already in some pretty cynical territory: The whole thing is made up. That way, you get all the "blaming" benefits of a false flag attack without the expense and risk of pulling off an actual attack. I haven't scrutinized the evidence at all though, if there is any, so if you jump down my throat, do it gently. The Skripal poisoning may be one of these also.
Honestly I don't know. I figure scihub would be a good place to start looking though.

We made structural changes to our government in the 1920s-1930s and this is one of the long term effects.

1. Congress on its own decided that 435 representatives was "enough" and ceased apportionment. Since then representation has diluted from approximately 100000:1 to 1000000:1.

2. We changed the way the Senate was elected, from a majority of each state's legislature, to a popular vote.

The result is that we have effectively created 2 Senates. Winning a majority vote of so many people requires massive funding. Hence, the profound corruption we live in today.

I like that PostgreSQL can have both relational table and JSONB document collections (NoSQL) in the same database. Use NoSQL where it makes sense and relational tables for data that is inherently relational and query and join both (or batch-process from one to the other). I find this very cool.

Of course I wonder if it's too much cool and in trying to do everything it's falling short in some significant and fundamental way.
