I think this means your backups are ok, unless the data was for a child under the age of 16. But I also think that if you have encrypted your backups, and you make robust attempts to remove the <16 year old's data when you restore the backup, that the regulators are going to be satisfied.

"Merkel personally voted against it."

Hey man, Hitler may have voted against raiding Russia but it is the outcome the counts. Fact is, that Merkel's politics is a left wing come true. Proven by the support of people like Fisher and Campino, who claimed to have voted "green" his whole life.

I went from full time to contract and failed to exercise vested options shortly before a startup I worked at exited. However, as usual the upside wouldn't have been very lucrative anyway after dilution and preference. I was hired and stayed at the acquirer where we have been given great autonomy to grow into a much larger organization, as well as good pay.

In most cases I suspect your upside as a higher ranking employee at the acquirer will be far more important than your upside from the exit itself. If you are interested in the acquirer you would do well to position yourself to get a good role there.

Apparently, when your ex-husband whom you started dating at 17 is an abusive asshole who says you're an idiot, your interests are stupid, and you'll never amount to anything, you may, upon divorce, feel a strong sense of internal motivation to do all that stuff you always wanted to do, and make decisions not based purely on financial rationality.

Also, I totally understand the whole "why in the world would you pay for that" but if you work in tech you're in a fairly privileged position. The thing I desperately wanted to do most of my life happens to pay well. Somebody else desperately wanted to work in museums/heritage/archaeology and share knowledge. And museums do good work - one of the projects she worked on was repatriating artifacts stolen from Native American graves in the early 20th century. Since the thieves generally didn't take good notes, it could require a lot of time, effort, and knowledge to determine an artifact's provenience. That was more related to her undergrad studies - the graduate degree was more about a mix of preservation, conservation, etc.

I'm not sure it's worse than making some F2P game or Tinder for dogs. But it's definitely less profitable.
As much as I'd agree with the symptoms you guys are describing when it comes to my parents and grandparents, I don't think this is much of an age problem at all.

The same thing happens to my kids when I present them with a bash shell. They don't understand how to read the instructions, and they're uncomfortable with text commands. They don't want to type 'man' or 'help', and they give up very quickly. Everything they use on computers and game consoles are GUIs, most of them extremely easy to use by the standards of text interfaces like bash & vi.

This is a familiarity problem. You have years and years of experience with your OSes, which is what allows you to see outside the 2-inch window when you use a new application. You know exactly what you can ignore, and exactly what you need to pay attention to. They don't. Being unfamiliar with all of it and not having any idea how any of it works is what makes it seem like they're not learning quickly, but it's more because they're trying to learn everything at once, and are overwhelmed, not because they're not learning at all.

I’ve been on the receiving end where hobbyists were trying (and eventually succeeded) to hack our DRM scheme.

It was really fun to read the forums and see how, day by day, they managed to get closer. Since it wasn’t really crucial IP to begin with, we were rooting for the little guys to see how close they would get, secure in the knowledge that our algorithm was solid. :-)

The final exploit that granted them access was due to a supplier who replaced an earlier validated random generator with something not quite as random, which enabled replay attacks.
One thing I think that is overlooked here is drinking alcohol.

Even if you drive and pay for the car payment and insurance at a very cheap rate of 200/month for both, there's gas and maintenance which should be at least another 50-100 per month.

But if you're a drinker even casually or you go out just on weekends you will have to uber and leave the car and incur uber costs regardless. After work Happy hour? drink or two at the end of office day? Can't drive.

Point is if you are a drinker for whatever reason there's huge perks to uber and not having a car. Also tax wise uber being used as transportation versus a vehicle where commuting is not deductible(starts from place of work not to as contractor). Overall the tax write offs and being able to drink is a huge perk should your lifestyle be similar of course.

No? An MVS constraint like "1.2.0" will match any "1.X.Y" where X >= 2, and the one that's chosen is the first version that matches all the constraints.

Lets say you've walked the dependency graph for a project and somewhere dependency A is requested 3 times: "v1.0.0", "v1.2.0", "v1.2.1" which each mean (respectively):

anything at or after v1.0.0
anything at or after v1.2.0
anything at or after v1.2.1

The minimum version that satisfies all of those constraints is simply the last listed version, v1.2.1, so that version is selected. Note, you can manually choose a later version by asking for it directly, e.g. add "A v1.2.10" directly to the dependencies of your root project and it will be chosen. Or add a new dependency that requests "A v1.3.0" or update a different dependency that requests "A v1.3.2" and the last one will be chosen.

I'm surprised there is still so much confusion about what MVS actually does. The actual algorithm is just a sort function. I blame the name, it doesn't describe what it does very well.
Snake is certainly older than the 3310, but I'd bet there's an entire generation of people who first saw it there. They're very closely associated- the rebooted 3310 made sure to include a Snake clone too.

You don't need to know a universal "Proportion of True Hypotheses", that was just given as an example. But you do need to assign some probability to the hypothesis being true. Which is of course difficult to do with high certainty. But hopefully possible to argue whether it is closer to 0.1, 0.5 or 0.9 - and adjust interpretation of the pvalue accordingly.

Nice. By schools, I'm presuming you meant K-12 in the US.

My comment is about the post-secondary academic research community focused on education (particularly in North America, and more so in Canada).. Modalities, pedagogies, all are drawing away from the experience that the students are not getting that they should.

US post-secondaries are starting to innovate, still good pockets of activity are not making a suit.

Attorneys will never give you a guarantee like that.

Of course they won't, since it would give you the freedom to go and do whatever you want and then when you get fined you can take it out on them. You can't get an attorney to assume your liability by asking them for guarantees.
I'm just getting really tired of people that hysterically throw around large numbers in order to instill fear.

The large numbers ARE BUILT INTO THE LAW you are so vehemently defending. We are just supposed to ignore them? Pretend they don’t exist?

Everyone should be afraid of laws that offer possible massive fines that are incredibly easy to violate on technicalities.

The Mother of All Demos, presented by Douglas Engelbart (1968)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY

The Mother of All Demos

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos

"The Mother of All Demos" is a name retroactively applied to a landmark computer demonstration, given at the Association for Computing Machinery / Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (ACM/IEEE)—Computer Society's Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, which was presented by Douglas Engelbart on 9 December, 1968.

The live demonstration featured the introduction of a complete computer hardware and software system called the oN-Line System or, more commonly, NLS. The 90-minute presentation essentially demonstrated almost all the fundamental elements of modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor (collaborative work). Engelbart's presentation was the first to publicly demonstrate all of these elements in a single system. The demonstration was highly influential and spawned similar projects at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s. The underlying technologies influenced both the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows graphical user interface operating systems in the 1980s and 1990s.
It's common that any thread on HN discussing electric cars has at least one person complaining that the huge problem that hinders adoption is that they personally can't charge one conveniently. Sure, it's a problem, but not a big limitation on the overall market when the cars are at < 1% market share.

And if you don't want a Tesla, then you should check out the Bolt. Like all long-range electric cars, the styling is going to be a notch down from what the price suggests, because long-range batteries are still expensive.

Some counter examples of hugely successful (not dumb) and completely immoral enterprises:

* The conquistador and later Portuguese ans Spanish empires "strip mining" the Americas

* Both East India companies (Dutch and British) "strip mining" India and south east Asia

* The slave trade and various industries it enabled (e.g. cotton and sugar)

* Colonial financial interests of the US in the Americas

Closer to our times checkout the "Friedman Doctrine": "There is one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud."

As to the "many famous capitalists" you mentioned, it doesn't really matter what they say but rather what the businesses they manage do.

So I have also meticulously kept track of my mileage, from January 2013 to November 2017 (my wife began driving it in November, and I didn't have an iPhone app to track it prior to 2013). The current average over that time frame is 36.8MPG. Worst tanks I have are when I was only on the interstate, would get 34MPG.

Mine is an '08 - they seem to have gotten heavier in later years. It also has a manual transmission, which offers more flexibility for conserving brakes and fuel. My wife gets more in the 32-34mpg range, but doesn't keep close tabs on it - she also now has a couple car seats and toddlers in the car, so weight penalty.

EDIT: There might genuinely be an issue with your car - I have a 10.8 gal tank as well but routinely get over 400 miles per tank - 370 if I've been driving more aggressively.
At least last year, "new car loans" had a really low rate, and I think as long as it's newer than 3 years old and less than 30k miles or something a used car still qualifies.. if you have money making more in interest than the loan percentage, you shouldn't pay cash (assuming you have greater than the financed amount earning interest)…

Regarding asthma, I know that recently we went hiking (as a family) for the first time, and the state park we visited was had much cleaner air than in the valley... so much so that all my minor allergies vanished when we showed up.

Plus, you are interpreting whether or not a decision was even made. Maybe it was an implementation detail that leaked out, or maybe the decision is still left as a TODO in the backlog somewhere.

If there wasn't an intentional design decision, then who knows if the behavior you try to document lasts beyond the current version, who knows how quickly that documentation is out of date. (Likely if a project doesn't care about documentation before you arrive, they might not likely care about stale documentation either.)

> Because such public speeches lead directly to violence against minorities.

What do you mean by "lead"? Do you consider the people who cause such violence as being not responsible for their own actions?

Let's take an example. A person A says that there should be violence against person C. Then, person B commits violence against person C.

I totally agree that society should persecute person B, but I don't see why persecute (with violence) the person A. Person B is morally responsible for their own action (we don't absolve people of murder even if someone suggests to them that they should murder someone). And I also agree that we should speak out against A's suggestion of violence.

So you can see, I am not advocating tacit tolerance of any intolerant acts, and yet disagree with your suggestion of persecution of person A (actually, not in all situations, but I disagree with it in general).

Ok yeah, in those areas, I can see it happening (but then again, I would never rent in those areas if I have a car...)

I was looking for 2beds mostly around sunset and richmond (basically around areas with good elementary schools). I'm surprised you got such a different experience because when I was searching, many places had parking included, and "important" factors like parking/laundry didn't even seem to affect the price as much as other random reasons (e.g. recent renovations, landlord whims, the real estate agent mediating, perceived "transit convenience", etc)

I spent a significant amount of time looking (I toured well over 50 places), and there's definitely a bunch of full-of-$%&@ people out there trying to rip you off. It's hard to find good deals, but not impossible, and I did get a few who even offered to waive deposit/first month/parking or to negotiate.
Which reminds me of the book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." Sounds like he hit it on the nose.
I suspect that more than a proof, it's the cause of the controversy. Never heard of any other factor that has been relativized.
There is no "conviction" for a civil case, and the standard of proof is far lower in civil court than criminal. Has Yelp ever lost one of these lawsuits? Mostly they seem to get thrown out of court.

Anecdotally, I knew a business owner who complained about Yelp hiding negative reviews on a competitor's page, presumably because the competitor was an advertiser and his business was not. Reading the negative reviews, though, they were _obviously_ shams; it wouldn't be surprising if the complaining businessman had left them himself.
This is a very romantic view of C++, but not (in my opinion) an accurate one. C++ feels like a language developed without a road map. I agree with the original comment. Many C++ updates are full of band aids to address issues so blatant that they had to fixed by others a long time ago (see boost).

> C++ has very little "magic" once you get an okay mental-model for how the compiler looks at things.

This is a meaningless statement. I could make the worlds most obtuse and complicated language and you could still say this. Just because after years, and I do mean years, of experience C++ stops regularly blindsiding you does not mean it is a well designed language.

There are parts of C++ that are good, beautiful even, but that does not give it a free pass from being among the messiest languages in widespread use.

The conflict is simple: quantum fields are conservative, which means you can't arrange mass/energy in one way, and then rearrange it another way, and end up with more energy than you started. Gravity is conservative: if you drop a ball, friction aside, it will bounce back into your hand. It can't go higher, and there's no magic you can do by arranging matter to come up with a path where it ends up with more energy than it started with (unless you steal the energy from elsewhere).

Any such effect that exists, would not be called the "Casimir effect" because it would have to obey completely different laws than the actual observed Casimir effect seems to. The Casimir effect is actually evidence against such an effect, insofar as it's perfectly explainable in terms of conservative forces.
