> We live in a whole new world which absolutely no one understands yet, and the only traits which should be desired in a leader are adaptability and the ability to innovate.

You could have made that same statement with justification in the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

The hard part of running a country, is not managing technology and ideas, but managing people. While technology may be fast changing, people are much, much slower to change. No matter what the technology landscape, a lifetime of experience in dealing with people will always be helpful.
Not at all a representative sample, but the majority of my friends and their families growing up watched very little television outside of the occasional sporting event. Those same people are now enthusiastic social media users.
It looks like it's just several flash cards to help managers talk like Pointy Haired Boss from Dilbert.
Surely that must mean that Twitter banning people is also a violation of the first amendment, since that prevents them from accessing the same "public square" this ruling is protecting their access to.
Why have I built this?

There are already over 12 "crypto-only" online job boards as well as hundreds of crypto jobs being posted across major general job sites every week. I build this website because it makes staying on top of all the latest job opportunities in crypto 1000% easier for such job seekers.

Now crypto job-seekers only need this one resource to stay freshly up-to-date with every single job opportunity within the hour it is published online .

I also made it super easy to subscribe/follow hourly updates via Twitter, Telegram, Slack, Facebook and email by creating clever little bots that do this automatically to all those platforms.

Feedback, feedback, feedback!

The site is freshly launched, so I would absolutely love feedback from you, the PH community! Found a bug? Let me know. Have some constructive notes? Share them! I popped a feedback box on the site so it's easy to share your thoughts.
Lyft is still outsourcing risk to those drivers.

Lyft is certainly well aware of how much money it saves by ensuring that when expensive tragedies happen, they are borne by individuals. As to how well the drivers are prepared, well it's going to vary by individual, but it's safe to say that none of them understand the risks they are taking on as well as Lyft does, and in the aggregate most are unprepared, not even having proper rideshare insurance.
1.4M drivers now, they are doubling to 2.8M over 5 years.

100M / 2.8M = $35 each. Or about one oil change.
I'm not sure if replies to a tweet from someone who blocked you are associated with the tweet you replied to.

If not, the followers would not see the reply in that thread/ conversation.
One thing I have noticed over the last year or so is the strongly pro-PRC (but anonymous) posting that happens in HN comments. I haven't tested the waters with a post like this before, so I'm not sure if it will be brigaded. But I'm guessing you'll be able to watch the posts I'm talking about roll in here over the day today.
"The judge declined to issue an order forcing Trump to unblock the users, saying her ruling should be sufficient to force a change in behavior."

Because Trump is the master of sub-text and will pick up that he should unblock them.
So, would it be okay for Trump's YouTube channel to prevent any comment from being made? That's a feature of YouTube. Might need to enable that for Twitter.
Well, no, because the axis we're looking at isn't difficulty. And customizable difficult is not a recent idea.
GP pointed out the special version of the algorithm that handles collisions gracefully. Note that this algorithm ("open addressing") is so frequently used that you will probably find a variation of it in pretty much any piece of software you have ever used. It's a well-understood method, not only from a practical perspective but also in terms of theory; check out e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing
For an educational project however, wouldn't an opaque platform with broken-ass documentation and edge cases that make you hate yourself be more representative of real software dev in general? ;)
There is a difference between Russian state-owned media and one of many US-based but privately-owned news companies.

Answer to your question[1]. It looks more level-headed than your insinuation, but certainly targeted at undermining the US's (White House, Pentagon, NSA/other intel agencies, Congress, legislators, think tanks) authority in the cyber realm.

Can you point me to the text in the GDPR says what you are saying? IANAL and there's a good chance I'm just misreading the GDPR, but doesn't Article 20[0] completely disagree with you?

> UUID as a primary key is a terrible idea, by the way

Unless you use a v1 UUID, i.e. via NEWSEQUENTIALID() in SQL Server. IIRC postgres has an equivelant available as a standard module.
This is covered in the quote in the 4th paragraph. It applies to all government officials, but it only covers reactions to political statements. Harassment is still a valid reason to block someone. If they like a sports team the official doesn't, that's probably valid too.
For random (and not timespace prefixed) uuids, you can end up hitting more blocks because if locality of reference, if you are using b+trees. If you are using an lsm index, you get blocks of data written at the same time in the index anyway, so your "slow" disk isn't so bad, because that is in your cache already. For b+trees and random uuids, data in blocks are basically scattered everywhere. So your index lookup of 1 billion items could hit 1 billion leaf blocks, instead of 1 billion / entries per leaf.
My new house (well 2 years old now) came with fibre into the hall cupboard (and cat5 to every room), I'd assume that FTTP is default with newbuild

Most ISPs don't seem geared up for FTTP, so it's good for BT, as most people will just go with them.
That doesn't say much, because it's not beyond the realm of possibility that the US shares some equipment (made up example: ultrasonic or other anti-jamming technology) or other technology with Canada.

If it was a country way less friendly to the US than Canada (or even less friendly, if you want to make the questionable argument that Canada is not friendly to the US), that would be a better indicator.
Warning: I haven't used MongoDB in several years, so this info can be outdated!

The main advantage of using JSONB on Postgres over MongoDB is that you can create tables that mix regular fields (varchar, number, date, etc...) with JSONB fields.
Then you can do joins of your table with other tables (no need to map/reduce or other insane processing for a simple join).

Honestly, Reddit needs to be doing _more_ to stop mods from running rampant all over the user base. A _lot_ more.
Furthermore, the author ever addresses other forms of leisure where people are paid to participate, such as sports. Does the NBA devalue the pickup game played solely for bragging rights?

The other problem I have with this argument is the fallacy that leisure activities were not class based in the past. Polo would seem to be a fairly obvious example, very few people can afford the horses required.
That is a fair concern.
If Seattle didn't get a single new tech job opening from any of the big-4 tech corps in the next five years (Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft), the city would be fine. It would be more then fine. There is no shortage of economic opportunity in it.

Expanding their offices puts costs on existing city residents. It's all well and good that tens of thousands of new units to house these workers are being built, but those units also require extra infrastructure funding.

Amazon wants this cost to be 100% borne by Seattle city residents. Unsurprisingly, Seattle city residents aren't interesting in bearing it (On top of the %8 YoY rent increases many of them are seeing.)

Amazon earns what, half a million dollars a year for every new engineer that they hire? Whereas the city gets stuck with a $XY,000 infrastructure bill for supporting that engineer's apartment - money that ends up being squeezed out of existing residents.

I do work for one of the big-four in Seattle, and I absolutely believe that they, or their employees should pay for these infrastructure improvements - not my hairdresser. I have no right to move into a neighborhood with the expectation that existing residents pay to make room for me.
That's exactly what I am saying. Since he's using it in an official capacity, it becomes questionable. I agree with the ruling, as it pertains to his usage.
You can, at the very least, probably aim them a lot better or change the target altogether, for example for misdirection. An ICBM mostly goes up and falls down again on a ballistic trajectory, at least in a first approximation, they can of course correct the trajectory to some extend. On the other hand ICBMs are a lot faster which makes them harder targets for interceptors even if the trajectory is reasonably predictable.
Looking at the government one could be forgiven for the impression that this is not the case for most elected representatives.

I fully agree, just as movie stars enter into contracts to limit their public appearance, because image is everything. Trump is nothing much more, in my view.
> That's the whole goal of blockchains though, don't rely on central systems, banks, authorities, audits, or any control. Like someone has to decide the request to be forgotten is legitimate at some point, and that alone defeats the upside of the blockchain.

That's the point of cryptocurrencies; that doesn't mean centralized systems can't use the same technology to achieve their own goals.

> Having the full blockchain history saved vs. only last state saved like regular databases, it's obvious blockchains are more resource intensive.

Depends on how the database is used - lots of databases have usage patterns that are mostly append-only, in which case you're saving the full history anyway. As for the non-append-only parts, such as indexes and running balances, you can always use an architecture where their is either not committed at all in the block headers, or if it is, you just accept that auditors might need to do a bunch of re-computation to precisely check every interm state by replaying the transaction history logs.

Now don't get me wrong: this will incure some performance hit. But with good engineering we're talking about things that are maybe half or a quarter as fast, not fundamental scaling problems. That's the kind of performance hit where just buying more hardware isn't a big deal.
It’s like a metaphor saying only literal outcomes and shape of the world mean much. Whereas our ephemeral emotions which require us to stay “plugged into” an increasingly demanding cultural tradition despite the diminishing ROI most people are seeing (cause they’re ignoring the literal outcomes and shape for emotional feitishism)
they ll probably implement something like "you are banned from all twitter except trump"
And, in this case, a local newspaper in a relatively small market. Their exposure is probably pretty limited but it's not hard to imagine a legal or compliance person asked IT is they were compliant with GPDR and the answer came back "dunno." At which point, the decision is between spend an hour to cut off EU access, decide to deliberately sweep any potential problem under the rug, or spend a fair bit of effort to do at least a compliance audit. #1 doesn't seem like a bad choice in this situation.
Completely different situation. If it was only to sales to US customers, then it would be comparable. That the Swedish government allowed external influence to change the laws for its own citizens is nothing like the GDPR applying only to EU citizens.
Same here. For my family it was the copy of Grolier's Multimedia Encyclopedia that came bundled with our Mac Performa.
Everyone deserves representation, even the older folk (if 60 is even old anymore). I don't think 40-year-olds understand very well the needs of these people (and vice versa, as you point out).

Term limits is a much better solution.
So you'll happily accept some random commenter's opinion of the piece? That seems rather arbitrary. Why not accept the original article just as readily? Or was the title enough to prejudice you completely, so that all you're looking for is someone to confirm your preconceptions?
From a user of both services, and not a lawyer - Yelp has burned all benefit of the doubt by seemingly basing their business on deception. I find using Yelp to be extremely difficult as I end up frequently reading an advertisement instead of a review despite double-checking first (!), I find myself locked out of Yelp content frequently (I have an account! Maybe I'm not signed in? Who knows? Or am I trying to use the website and not their app? etc).

Yelp frequently leads users to believe they have information right in front of them when the user has no such thing. Given that this is the current state of affairs, and has been for years (always?) I would think Yelp would have exactly 0 credibility when it comes to them trying to make things "fair" in search results.

Why should a society bend for Yelp when Yelp has done everything in their power to deceive us through poor UI, poor UX, misleading links, what I would even call false advertising? We shouldn't.

--

Edit: As a point of comparison, on Google you know when you're reading a review and when you're seeing an ad right away, there's no confusion or deception or lies there.
A more likely explanation:
"The French IRSN has put forth the hypothesis in Jan-2018 that a possible reason for the release of Ru-106 radioactivity at Mayak-PA might be an unsuccessful attempt to extract the short-lived reactor-generated-isotope cerium-144 for the European/Italian nuetrino-detecton-project Borexino. Mayak-PA had agreed to deliver cerium-144 in early 2018, but canceled the contract in December 2017. Mayak PA was the only facility contractually-willing to attempt the extraction of cerium-144 from "fresh" spent nuclear fuel, 2–3 years old." [1]

Git is a blockchains. I don't see any rules that a consensus algorithm needs to be non-human or that only a single chain can be authorative.

Git is a blockchain that has none of the usual problems of blockchains since the arbiter is a human and they can do as they please. Argreement between humans is a social procedure.
There's something I never understand about bits like this. The main point of this article basically entails greatly expanding the role of government in our economic system. But how happy are you with our government? It's a rhetorical question as the statistics make the answer abundantly clear. Congress' approval rating is currently resting at a whopping 18%, with a 78% disapproval rate. And our president certainly inspires a wide array of emotions across the population.

The reason for this displeasure varies, but among the reasons would be corruption, ineptitude, graft, greed, pandering to special interests, and so on. In a world where government was some post-humanistic benevolent and impartial entity, I think this article would have some reasonable points. However, people tend to be self absorbed, ignorant of whatever lays outside their own interests, and driven by bias. And government is little more than a collection of us, biased to those who share mostly the same skill set as con men.

I'm certainly not anarchistic, but I think we need to consider the fact that government is us. And so where is the logic that massively expanding the role and power of our government would solve more problems than create? My favorite example of good intentions gone awry is passports. Many wish we had a more open and free world, and at one time we did. Mandatory usage of passports was little more than a "temporary war measure" during WW1. But once we'd granted governments such tremendous power and control, it was predictably never relinquished.
Found out I could live without most of it. Now I visit Reddit and HN more.
That seems like cruel and unusual punishment.
I guess the issue would be what happens when these comments are said face to face.

If they are punishable, they should be, wether done on twitter or face to face.

I they are not, they shouldn’t be banned, as you wouldn’t ban them from the public place IRL.

Note that anyone can still mute them, just as you can ignore people IRL.
>I think the more interesting part of this is the ruling that the president's "personal" twitter account is an official government instrument.

Didn't the administration state that Trump's tweets are official statements a while back? That might be a big reason why.

Edit: Yup, they did.

Assuming they're the same as my home, they come with a battery backup unit which powers the landlines (as landline phones are normally powered from the exchange - and thus work in power cuts)

Of course people who still have landlines nowdays probably have cordless ones that require a powered base station, but I assume that at least in the UK, the line must be left powered during power cuts.
The prior poster was explicitly talking about reducing crime by exporting criminals. That’s not a cheap way to execute “undesirable” people, and if they aren’t killed on the way up, we end up with people who are not a great fit for the demands of living in space, however willing prisoners may be to go.

I hope we can find a more humane way to deal with our troubled fellow humans than to send them on suicide missions.
I think when dealing with physical modeling of this sort, obviously we're going to need lots of examples to get a full enough picture of reality. I play ping-pong, so I have to be really cognizant of this, as my mind has to pattern match the way the ball works hundreds of times in a game.

But if I truly had to see the pattern on every single angle, every single type of spin, every different paddle, every different table, every different room, then the sheer combinatorial complexity would make ping pong impossible to improve at. Talking about and coming up with insights on better play would also be impossible.

It's relatively easy to break the symbolic continuities that the brain stores with new types of inputs. That doesn't mean those symbolic continuities don't actually exist and that the brain will constantly seek them out.
The core activities of a small shop do not consist of data processing operations which require monitoring people.

The core activities of a small shop include some data processing operations that don't require monitoring people (e.g. records of what they sell), and an anti-robbery video camera isn't a core activity of their business; I'd even assume that it's not looked at most of the time and is even more likely to be outsourced to some security company (which would have a DPO).
Term limits make more sense to me. Ideally a term limit of 1 term. Also the Athenian method of picking representatives by lottery.
I would argue that with the prevalence of reviews on steam /youtube/etc that it is far easier than ever to avoid undesirable games. In fact, it's stupidly easy to avoid even bad games, I don't think I've bought a game I didn't enjoy in several years. Sure, not everyone will read & comprehend a credit card agreement, but surely it's fairly easy to Google a game review before purchase.
> UUIDs are way more painful than serials to recognise, remember, input or transmit...

Completely agree, but I've found this can be a non-technical "feature" too. Serial integer primary keys are much more susceptible to human error when doing any sort of direct database manipulation.

Make a typo on a integer PK? Wrong user gets deleted. UUID typo? Row not found (almost certainly).

Another source of error I've seen is when someone in sales asks "Hey, can you remove User #1234?", but they really meant Customer #1234." With UUIDs, there's no "collision" between the tables.

Clearly there are better process/tool-based ways to prevent these types of mistakes, but it's a useful side effect of UUIDs.
but it's an easy way to deal with the trolls who will go after twitter for "blocking their access to the president"
I'm a long distance trucker (my 6th career), and I'd like an app or site that will give me weather over two or three days along a 1000 to 2000 mile path. Anyone?

IIRC, I found something somewhere under weather.gov, but it was difficult/tedious to use on a smallish android phone; the associated API seemed more promising, but for the moment I'm either driving, decompressing or sleeping.
Would work in some but not all scenarios. Perhaps the video is legitimate but embarrassing for the represented party, so the represented party declines to sign it.
There's a confusion and conflation of terminology here, even if the original meaning can stand on its own too.

The Weather Channel isn't an advertiser here. They're a user -- a corporate one, but they supply content they want others to view. Facebook has scaled back the organic effectiveness of creator-owned pages in an effort to drive more traffic to paid advertising. The Weather Channel is simply noticing that they're giving away content for free, and whatever benefit they derive from this content on this particular medium doesn't make up for how much it costs to produce.
I can confirm all of this learning Dvorak. Having seen this with myself and others, it really is like a short version of learning a language and seems to use the same part of my brain. There's that period where you're not good in either layout and you need to get something done like you're saying (but after all the fun initial gains) and that's when most folks quit. If you can push past that week or so, it seems you're good. It's painful though.

And yeah, I can still touch-type in Qwerty too, but it feels like contorting my hands in knots. I can type it in fine, I just never noticed before how crazy you have to move your hands to do it.
I am not on /u/spez side(but I like reddit). He has low credibility because of his history with editing post and elections.

Also I have problem with information diversity on r/popular. Even if you filter stuff you get junk content like funny gifs, porn etc....

r/science, r/news... etc are quality content and they should be present in popular.

Also bias against gaming community.
My solution would be to add targeting for subreddits.
Some people want more fun content, some more science, music. If r/popular would use it would be probably the best

Ps. I banned like 100 subreddits on r/popular and I gave up. Now I use regex to filter on r/all it works better than that...

If money has to flow in the economy through limited hubs then hubs automatically grow rich.

It should be a fundamental right in the capitalist country, right to process payment for any party. Today, we need special license/approval for this which limits the "access to disrupt" to few lucky people who have a connection in the big banks. Startups like stripe have to give away a chunk of their equity to old guards at big banks in return of access to a market.

Is this the best a capitalist country may offer?
