> Do I understand correctly that an Uber driver with a 30k capital investment in a car is part of the petite bourgeoise

In the simple, no debt financing case, that's the most obvious categorization, though much the same concerns that lead to questions about whether those drivers are rightly categorized as contractors might be raised as to whether they are genuinely self-employed independent business owners or rented labor being applied to Uber capital with a weird gatekeeping mechanism.

> and a surgeon working for a hospital who has put 400k toward education is part of the proletariat?

A lot to high income workers (surgeons often very much among them) are joint capital/labor earners of a kind that diverges from the independent small business owner model, because they gain substantial income, often deferred through reinvestment and often mainly in what are held largely as retirement funds, on capital to which their own labor is not applied, as well as selling labor to capital; for that reason they’d generally be seen as petit bourgeoisie, thought somewhat different from the main textbook example.

> Or do you count education as capital?

Traditionally, if it's not been made property that can be itself sold freely in capitalist economy, it's not capital in the analysis of economic class in a capitalist economy. (Looked at from within the system rather than from critics of capitalism, ask yourself: are the returns of education taxed like labor or like capital—that tells you how the capitalist system itself sees them.)

Requiring consent as a pre-condition of a service is frowned upon under GDPR. If you have a legitimate requirement (which is fairly rigidly defined under GDPR) or legal obligations for that data then you don’t need user consent, but if you don’t then you need to offer the service regardless of the user consent or not.

Ask HN: Apple shutted down our 30k/mo business. What now?
I & my partner launched an app a year ago. It took half a year to build something sustainable and month ago we finally reached 30k / mo profit. Yesterday after technical release (just to change title in the AppStore) the app got rejected. We didn't violate any concrete guideline, Apple Review Team just decided that we use VPN in an anapproved manner. We use VPN to analyze traffic and show reports to the user. Of course users are uknowledge and ok with this solution. Needless to say that that dozens of our competitors use exactly this solution but apparently it’s not enough for Review Team.

Now I'm lost and don’t know what to do. Situation seems unfair. How come that developers give away half of their earnings to the monopolist platform and are still treated like kids. I mean, people will lose jobs and funds just because of "unapproved way" of using public (!) API. Honestly I liked this platform and I invested a lot into it but I'm sure I will stay away now.

Any thoughts or advices?

That's not self-hosting. That's paying a cloud provider for a lot of services I don't need.

To me, self-hosting means I can (theoretically) run everything I need, on my bare-metal -- a cloud provider or cloud service (eg, RDS) then becomes a choice, not a requirement.

Suppose you swapped out every piece with a free, local one -- it'd still have the problem of being way overdesigned for what I'd need. Even if the UI looks decent.

As part of testing out the API, I’d be happy to try it out and see how well it works although if all the other bank apps have it, then it kinda defeats the purpose.
I still don't see why not. Maybe it's what GDPR says, but it's wrong and I can't see this being enforced. If data collection is the "payment" for using the "service", you have two choices: you don't pay and don't use the service, or you pay up.

This is like saying a business can't make usage of a service conditional to payment.

The part where a credit card is involved. It's not directly renting equipment, it's renting money to buy the equipment in anticipation of earning new money to replace the rented money, but it's isomorphic to renting equipment, which is rather the central point to the idea of capital as marketable goods rather than entailed property (or, commonly, an appurtenance to entailed land) which distinguishes capitalism from feudalism.

There isn't a built-in way to detect type of component. It would be useful when you want a parent component to encapsulate certain logic/behavior but not hard-code the presentation.

You can see a great presentation of the technique in this video:

The Lumber Stretch here: http://www.modestomassagetherapy.com/stretching.html The second one, start off in a Jesus Christ pose, scoot your feet toward your butt while keeping your knees together. Then rotate your lower half as far as you can keeping your knees together like the diagram. Hold it there for a while, 10 seconds or so. Return to center, then rotate the other direction and hold. Do about 10 reps.

The other one is here: http://edgemontchiro.com/twist-and-shout/lumbar-rotation-str... It looks the same at first but is quite different. Begin by laying on your side with knees together and feet as close to your butt as you can, and laying your arms together straight ahead of you. This is the starting "closed" position. Then, keeping your upper arm straight, rotate the upper body and shoulders as far "open" as you can like the lady in the picture. Hold "open for 10 seconds or so, and then close again. Do this about 10x each side.

If anything, this kind of regulation helps companies like Facebook keep their "monopoly", because it raises the monetary cost of starting a competitor. A number of smaller services and games have shut down due to increased cost of compliance, even for companies that don't have any privacy issues.

The EU and its officials are a joke. I cringe when these EU bureaucrats act like they are going to "get tough" on US businesses and the Trump administration.

They lack digital sovereignty and nation state sovereignty. Local and federal EU agencies continue to depend on Microsoft and other US tech giants. They didn't even manage to unveil the NSA wiretapping, to this day still not a single person or company has been charged with wiretapping Germanys biggest internet exchange hub (DeCIX).

They rage about US tax cuts and tech companies using tax loopholes while doing nothing about the greatest tax haven on earth located within their own borders: Luxembourg.

The EU is a joke and i sincerely hope it falls apart soon.

Top Dapp tutorials Series
I've done two talks on Cloudbleed (at Virus Bulletin 2017 and at RSA 2018). I would be happy to do a talk about it again somewhere.
The 3B series was an odd assortment.

The 3B1 AKA "UNIX PC" AKA "PC 7300" wasn't even Intel inside, it was Motorola 680x0. The true 3Bs (3B2/3B5/3B20) had WECO processors. (The first UNIX machine I used daily was a 3B20, in fact -- dog slow compared to the 680x0-based Sun 2s and 3s the cool kids got to use.)

The actual first UNIX PC (Intel processor) was the 6300 series, which were rebadged Olivettis. I ported a product line to the 6300 Plus, which at least had extended memory capability.

I never said that each were equivalent, I'm saying that they're using the same vocabulary to describe and translate their ideas. That's it.

That is to say there is no universal, central, or dogmatic theory of "dharma", nor perhaps a central agreed upon theory of Dharma, just a vague conception of what it is for each individual interpreter. Whether that interpreter be Buddha, Nanak, Shankaracarya, or the various other Indic philosophers is irrelevant. What unifies them simply is the technical language used to describe their philosophy, and define their own ideas.

So no. I'm not saying all religions in India are the same. All I'm saying is that the various philosophers within that geography used a similar set of vocabulary, and a similar set of ideas to construct their own thought structures in competition, opposition, or in general progression with each other.

So in that sense, there is at least something that makes them closer to each other than they are separate.

> Of course the idea that you can just drag the CEO up to account for whatever grievances you have against the company and hope to get anything out of it seems a bit misguided to me.

Well, we have to restore the long-forgotten idea of responsibility. The CEO is legally responsible for any wrongdoings of the company. He should also be morally responsible for all unethical activities. But Zuck's defense strategy so far is "I see nothing wrong".
I'm not a policymaker, but GDPR seems overly-reactionary, over-reaching, and not well thought-out. I think the negative unintended consequences are likely much greater than however much it actually protects the privacy of individuals (which I don't think will be much at all).

Visualizing Two Centuries of U.S. Immigration
It's important to note historical context.

The New York subway system was built in spurts up to about the 1950s. This means that large sections of it, tens of miles long, become due for renewal at the same time. Contrast this to MTR, which opened short segments in several phases.

There was also a period stretching probably from 1930-1980 where maintenance on New York's subway was completely deferred. No maintenance or replacement was done for the signals at all. So a lot of what has been happening up until now is not only meant to replace stuff that is due for replacement, but stuff that has been overdue for replacement for decades. It takes a lot of time on a 24/7 railway's schedule to fix such a large backlog. And they usually only refresh the backlog with stuff that is both compatible with the entire existing fleet, which is thousands and thousands of train cars.

Coincidentally, since MTR was first developed in the '70s, those signals are due for replacement right about now. From what I have heard MTR is starting to have a much higher rate of failure than previously, which would make sense if the signals are getting old.
That’s what I thought about both US Congress and EU. The GDPR on the other hand, is more effective (albeit constraining).
you cannot advocate for a change for all if you are the only company in that field. Uber was literally a revolution of transportation.
However, as a side effect, the changes you advocate sets a precedence, thus also affects everyone, which was the case in the US. There were a few other companies who also benefited from the changes, such as Lift.

Current population of NYC: 8 million or so?

Figure that with your belief that NYC could handle more, let's say 2.5 times that, to get 20 million riders of the system.

$100 billion / 20 million riders = $5000 in capital expense to upgrade the system. That's a lot of riders going on a lot of subway rides to recoup that!
The precursor agencies and corporations in New York developed signalling systems that were cutting edge in the '30s, since there weren't a lot of multinational signalling suppliers back then, nor were there a lot of metro systems.

How is TechCrunch still making the front page of HN? They are the masters of incendiary and polarizing "news" with the only goal to generate "outrage" and clicks and thus revenue. Hacker News audience still eats it up I guess.

If EU died, who do you think would take over and why do you think they'd be any better?

US has problems of its own with "digital sovereignty" as it allowed China to take over most of manufacturing. Russia is saddled with social debts and social warfare. EU nation states on their own can't do nothing - the business mostly goes to "where value is". (Just look at what is happening in Romania - the question is, how long can they keep it up.)

As for the tax haven, the new regulations in quite a few baton states of the EU now require paying tax in the country where business is done, not registered. Obviously companies try to dodge this as much as they can.

GDPR is mostly a regulation that was a directive (DPD) before. If you handled data responsible before and didn't do shady stuff with it, there is little extra to do to be GDPR compliant.
I'm sorry for your loss. Do you know anyone in the AppStore team, whom you have talked to during the good times? If not, do you know any fellow developers who might have such contact? Your best option is to tell your side of your story (your efforts/dependence) to a person, instead of assuming the official communications as the final word.

EDIT: In future, I suggest you invest time in establishing relationship with these teams (like going to WWDC), especially when you are betting your entire revenue on such marketplaces.

New York's busiest track pair is scheduled for 30TPH (E/F in Queens).

These scheduled service levels tend not to pan out because of dwell times causing trains to get stuck in stations. CBTC helps mitigate this by allowing trains to run much closer, so the dwell time in stations is less of a limiting factor, and the busier frequency also allows platform overcrowding to be less severe.
