So how exactly it's O.K. for customers if their privacy is breached by mom&pop businesses but not O.K. if it's breached by businesses that have 50K or more users?

It's common theme here on HN to think that users are just some kind of resource and the regulations are anti-climactic things that slows down the party.

Seriosly, As a user, I don't want my information to be sold to random people that I have no information about even if the seller is a tiny business because my feelings are not against the business but against the practice. The size of the violator is irrelevant to me.

If not breaching my privacy and my rights makes your business unprofitable, then simply you don't have a business.

I've had plenty of these situations aswell, and now a days I don't even bother if the process setting something up is too painful. That is why I highly enjoy writing scripting languages so much, because they are generally just out of the box ready to run after a small install. No extra thought required to begin developing.
Do they hate the package management or the build tool? Maven introduced a new package format (the Project Object Model, pom.xml) at the same time as introducing a very declarative build tool.

The really confusing part is that the two are conflated by design: if building with Maven, your project's pom.xml also contains the declarative Maven configuration used to build your package, instead of containing just the package metadata (name, dependencies, etc). But that's not required, and it need not be part of the *.pom XML file deployed in the published package.

Since release, many build tools have been introduced that can consume and produce POM-compatible packages but don't require you to use Maven itself as your builder (Ivy for Ant, gradle for writing build scripts in Groovy, SBT for Scala, etc).
After a while you just get a feel for it.

One of the best heuristics I had when approaching a system for the first time was to start poking at non-core features that were probably bolted on late. Things like management portals whether web or console, user customization settings, anywhere arbitrary files can be fed into the system. Those areas usually very fruitful and what I learned there helped understand and contextualize later research and discoveries in the core components.

Seems like there are some legitmate reasonings in this thread. I also wonder how much of it is just not wanting to explain making it potentially more difficult for a user to log in.

Sort of like how credit card providers could make things much more secure but choose not to because of fear of reducing transactions.
I sometimes wonder how much the fear of something is actually an additional problem to the thing itself.

NOTE: I am not denying agism exists, I'm wondering about the additional problem of fear of agism.

The fear that someone might be agist, might make you look at them judgmentally/suspiciously. If you look at your interviewer judgmentally/suspiciously they likely won't hire you, and they probably feel pretty suspicious about you.

If you walk into an interview and say, "I know I'm old, and you probably won't hire me because you want a young person", well, obviously they won't hire you because you sound depressed.

Again, this is not to say that some people aren't agist, even if the candidate shows none of these signs.

I'm just wondering how much of factor the fear of agism is, compared to agism itself, on a regional level. Are there any people who do clinical studies here?

Edit: this isn't to say that there isn't a bias... maybe doctors know this already, but assume that the effect is bigger than it is? Alternatively, they don't know this, and could treat their patients better if they had known. In any case, nothing good comes from denying the truth.
Their table to see how they stand up against competitors is hilarious! So many free privacy providers since ever like Dreamhost, Namesilo, BrandShelter, Marcaria (some TLDs), but yet you look at that table and you think "wow they are the only one".

This is a very reasonable and levelheaded post. I think part of the massive frustration is that Conservative policies often times seem to feel like dragging their feet. Like you point out, we very often times end up with sub-optimal solutions to serious problems. The cycle feels like problem presents itself, progressive solution proposed, conservatives don't want to address the problem, eventually problem becomes too big and a crappy "compromise" is put in place.

You are totally right that many of these problems are very difficult to solve. It's scary to put time and resources into things that may not work. We already are throwing so much money away into stopgap solutions though. The reason why I and many people feel frustrated with conservative policy is because it feels like they stall until we are forced into eventually doing "something" instead of implementing the full solution. Instead of saying, "hold on, do we really need this? Is this the best way to go about this?" it feels like conservative policy is to say "we will do everything we can to not spend money even if it is correct to do so." I totally get that this is a biased point of view. It's just an explanation as to why there is so much resentment of modern conservative politics.
Agreed. As many pointed out when the 1.1.1.1 DNS service was introduced, it's an address that is often used (incorrectly) as an internal or temporary IP. Then all it takes is a slight mistake in your route redistribution and suddenly you can find yourself accidentally announcing the prefix to eBGP.

I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a semi-regular occurrence.
GDPR impose a few things to do as soon as you have a single PII, as well as doing this a certain way (opt-out are a no-go, you must be able to prove consent, you probably need a DPO and a DPA), and things that were just not done in practice until now (right to be forgotten for example is not exercised, and thus there is no tool to exercise it).

Just because you absolutely respect the spirit of the law (don't do shitty things with PII) doesn't mean you are GDPR compliant, unfortunately.

I very much agree with GP that small business should have more relaxed obligations, and more proportional fines (the minimum fine exceed the total revenue of non-negligible percent of small business).

Storing their HTTP logs on archived CD-ROMS would be a violation of the GDPR, unless that same mom-and-pop operation offered users a way to request that CDs be replaced with new versions at will.

I don't think that counts as an abuse of privacy, but it is a violation of the GDPR, which makes immutable logs which contain IP addresses illegal.
Switched from Namecheap to Namesilo a few years ago for free privacy, I've had no problems with it.
I had outlandishly good access to a solid physics curriculum in high school, because (a) I had a teacher who cared deeply about his students and (b) I attended a new and well-funded charter school that had funds to throw at materials.

For all that, our books were still, well, books: dry, static, and squinty-small print.

This approach to teacher's notes (and the obvious care that went into it) would've changed my approach to physics, to learning, and to life, and that's coming from an uncommonly well-resourced background. I can't even imagine what this would do for students with less access.
The thing is that patent valuation is a black art, it’s not a science. The best approach as you suggest is market based, but for a lot of IP there is no efficient market setting prices. How often do we read headlines of $X billion in damages ‘awarded’ as the result of some litigation, only to find out years later that that number was overturned on appeal and it was really much much lower in the end. It’s just an imprecise thing.

An attacker might potentially be able to get at your card details, since you need to enter them in order to buy stuff on the PS Store.

Also, the PS4 has social media integration, so it might be possible to access your accounts somehow.

Age discrimination in tech is dumb. I've got a dev 30 years my senior sitting across from me and I guarantee he will code circles around 90% of the devs on HN, and 100% of the new grads getting jobs at big tech (and will until he dies). He's got a huge amount of knowledge in programming, our domain (NLP), he's fast, thorough, and thoughtful.

Honestly I don't get the obsession with recent grads. They are basically useless for years.

Perhaps they're busy running their business and don't have time to comply with baroque EU regulations, regardless of whether they're actually "abusing their user's privacy" or not.

Regulatory costs are a thing. Even if you're not violating the regulation, filing the forms or whatever to assure some bureaucrat that you're not violating it takes time and energy.

I forgot that France lost their control of Vietnam in the 50s, right? The us was incredibly focused on commies hiding everywhere, but they really did want to take over the world. The Kennedy's did get us over the cuban missile crisis, even though we went to the brink multiple times (accident or genius, imagine if we had Trump then). I also didn't know Ho Chi Minh was active in the 1920s - just read something about it on reddit.

There are so many cases where we supported a dictator. It's important to remember that today's support of a dictator because we think he's better than chaos could lead to something worse tomorrow. I think a challenge for the US today is to help the many democracies in the south china sea maintain their independence against the powerful China - not to hem in China, just that we should help democracies. But I'm sure I'm hopelessly naive about these great power games.

So the way I see it, there's one of two (mostly useless) ways to eliminate gender bias.

The first is bias training, to get people to recognize and react to their implicit biases. You see one patient that is rude, non-compliant, etc, and you implicitly assume that patients that have the same features will act the same, and you act accordingly. This is usually within the context of racial bias ("the black patient isn't compliant, so all black patients must also not be compliant and thus I'll not give them the best care"). Not-so-fun-fact: most people hate going to these sort of training workshops (me included), and so I don't think these are very effective.

The second is having more women in healthcare. With cultural/racial/ethnic bias, we have seen a decrease in that bias when physicians of that culture/ethnicity are involved in that patient's care. Problem is, I don't believe this has worked all that well when applied to gender bias. You may argue that women are severely under-represented in areas of healthcare (surgery for example), and we should strive for there to be more female surgeons. However, look at obstetrics/gynecology in the US. We have a predominantly female workforce, and there's still bias against women during/after pregnancy. Look at how many patients presenting with symptoms of pre-eclampsia (leading to a potentially fatal condition HELLP) are missed or disregarded. What about the rates of pulmonary embolism after overlooked deep vein thrombosis symptoms post-childbirth?

The healthcare industry has in recent times made it hard to spend the time or resources needed to really "care" for a patient. Doctors have to keep their visits short to maintain their volume (and job), nurse shortages are prevalent, and everyone is overworked. I don't know if or when we're going to end up solving this problem, but maybe starting an honest conversation with colleagues will help.

Edit: changed some words for clarity.

> can any hash table whose hash function operates over the entire string ever show O(1) time?

If we limit the length of the has key, the time taken by the hash function is also limited and turns into a constant. Big-O is all about asymptotic behavior.

OTOH noticing how the hash function's run time depends on the size of the key can be separately useful. I suspect all such functions are linear in practice, though.

You're assuming automated responses will satisfy requestors and, for the unsatisfied, be seen favorably by each of the twenty-eight national regulators, today and into perpetuity.

In any case, I got curious about your 2 hours / project + 2 minutes / request metric. One can achieve "basic fluency" in a number of languages within 480 hours [1]. We thus find a trade-off hyperbola [2]. For 1 project, after 14,340 requests you could have learned a new language. For 5: 2,820 per project. For 10: 1,380. At one request per day, that's under 4 years. TL; DR, even with optimistic figures, a significant toll is extracted purely for administration.

A lot of sites don't want to lock you out because that is a denial of service vector. If someone wanted to mess with your site, especially if your usernames are public (like reddit, eBay, HN, etc), then all they have to do is keeping sending login requests with bogus passwords to lock out all of your users.

This post has some overconfident and under-researched claims:

> This came about because last year I wrote the fastest hash table (I still make that claim)

I'm extremely dubious of claims of the "fastest $DATA_STRUCTURE" without qualifiers about workload, hardware, and time/space trade-off. In particular, the last graph of this post shows some workloads (400k int keys, int[16] values, unsuccessful lookups) where the author's implementation of Swiss Table (as Google called their table) is 3x-10x slower than "bytell_hash_map", the author's own design.

> google_flat16_hash_map. This last one is my implementation of Google’s new hash table. Google hasn’t open-sourced their hash table yet, so I had to implement their hash table myself. I’m 95% sure that I got their performance right.

The talk announcing Swiss Table clearly didn't have enough detail to fully replicate their results. This 95% claim is rather astonishing in light of that.
