Half of the things do not require tests at all. E.g. light exposure and circadian rhythm are answered in a questionnaire. (And sleep quality - clue to sleep apnea.) Likewise allergies and their medication or major gut diseases.

Water sample is less useful as many people use enough bottled water and diffuse sources (out of home) to make test at any one location pointless. Leave it to epidemiology. Just ask if the person is taking lithium.

Insulin resistance is done with the standard metabolic and blood panel. These are best done as screening regularly. (But nobody wants to pay for that.) Since you will be checking thyroid why not extend.

Gut microbiome is speculative. We do not even have tests. Brain abnormalities? Either it is in history (major surgeries, seizures) or we don't even know what they are.

Vitamins and microelements are also speculative.
obviously they couldn't handle the strain

They could handle the strain, within what their audience considered acceptable. That's the important thing. The key to scaling a startup is to always be just ahead of where your audience gives up. Anything less and your precious users will abandon ship and you'll fail; anything more you're burning too much cash, you'll run out of runway and you'll fail.
I didn't exactly use this line when visiting Japan last year, but I never had trouble with leaving at the correct station as everything was announced in latin writing as well (even Nikko and Hakkone wasn't a problem).

However in Tokyo I took a picture of every station sign I stepped over in order to find my way back :-).

I was ashamed of Germany (where I live) when visiting Japan especially when comparing public transport.
Because they say that in the popup.

To clarify this, there is nothing in the GPL that forces you to distribute to anyone. E.g. you can make a highly modified GIMP for internal use in your company and keep it closed source and internal.

The only condition is that IF you distribute your program, you must also distribute the source code.
Funny thing is that the place I am at now uses Zookeeper.. luckily it has not been trouble for us though. =)

The market can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent.

If design is so irrelevant to profits, how come Apple’s phones capture almost all of the profits in the mobile industry? Surely if your company has at great expense developed a legally protected advantage in the market that gains you the majority of the profit share, someone else copying your legally protected advantage and churning out products using all the same design features you spent years on must be pretty sickening?

Especially when it turns out your rival produced a 132 page design analysis detailing exactly how to copy your product design and UI, with photos, comparing it to their product and specifying “directions for improvement”[1]. Not all 132 pages are about rounded corners.

Sorry to ask, where Could I read this in more details? I have been wondering what classify as Physical Goods and Digital Goods. Example why aren't Bitcoin charged with 30% fees? And If I brought Amazon / iKea or StarBucks Credit, why aren't those charged 30% fees?
I don't think that makes a difference, perhaps it depends on the country. Some EU countries are hostile towards entrepreneurs and wrong action or inaction would get the same treatment.
Adding to this. My first job out of college was with a con artist who is probably still conning people today.

There were contracts, everything seemed reasonable, and then the excuses for non payment started piling up. By month 3 I still had seen nothing. Even after a year very little had been paid. Years later, thousands of dollars still unpaid and just lies and excuses.

I still hate asking for money that's due to me and not getting paid for the work you did is a real shitty place to be. This person did the same thing and berated me when I said I would take legal action. When I did take legal action, their entire company was a scam and I couldn't even deliver a court notice because they were hiding out of the country.

Every time I see this person's name it angers me because I just want to metaphorically burn their business to the ground. When I blocked this person and erased them from my life, I became a lot happier. I took it as a learning lesson and developed an archetype for psychopaths to avoid. Some day they will get their reckoning but it's not worth my time or mental health.

Tl;dr: The impacts to your mental health might be many hours over years. It was for me anyway.
AKA tracking a visit or something. GDPR is so blanketed that some sites are just turning off access since it's easier to do.
It is just a difference of magnitude. If my car is wrong, I will get into a minor accident. If the Tesla is wrong it will drive you into a rail at 100km/h.

It seems impossible to go from manual driving to fully autonomous without killing a lot of humans. The companies making these technologies know it. Everybody who buys one of these cars should be aware of it. I would never buy one. I don't even want the end product. I want control over my life. In a manual car, there is a bit of control because you can drive safely and so on. You are still susceptible to other drivers though. In an autonomous car, it can kill me on an empty road.

Rails, and the way it used MySQL/Postgres, was designed for building CMSs. Very amenable to CDN caching to scale.

Twitter was a realtime messaging platform (fundamentally not edge-cacheable) that evolved from that CMS foundation. So the reason for the difficult evolution should be clear.

It's not really a coincidence that before Twitter I worked at CNET on Urbanbaby.com which was also a realtime, threaded, short message web chat implemented in Rails.

Anyway the point is: use my new project/company https://fauna.com/ to scale your operational data. :-)
I did not include the link in this post. The admin sent me an email advising me to re-submit. Thanks for pointing that out.
I keep reading the "two years warning" notion on HN. While that might be technically correct, the real problem was that nobody UNDERSTOOD what GDPR meant (including the legislators) and so to this day, its practical implementation will to no small part depend on the iterative conclusions and learning various implementors (eg. companies) made in an arduous process since.

In other words, the first to think they were GDPR compliant might have had to redo a ton of work to adjust to more recent interpretations.

And let's not forget, for large orgs with complex infrastructure, this is a behemoth of an effort. There's been year long projects in the two large tech companies I've had insight to since.

And while I'm at it, let me comment on the frequently expressed notion of "if you've respected your users in the past, you'll be fine!". Just to pick one counter argument: the right to be forgotten. That can only be implemented thoroughly and in the way the users expect it to work (ie. delete everything but what you're legally required to retain) by finding a way to connect all user data so you know what to drop if need be. That is exactly the kind of action that's caused public outrage at big tech to begin with and it's not only potentially a huge effort, it also increases risk of abuse.

This all being said, I still think GDPR is a good idea at least in principle. And believe it or not, while everyone around me is really of compliance work, GDPR seems widely considered a good idea in principle across engineering in big tech.
Ask HN: Is any company working to radically improving car tires?
Is any company working on disrupting (yuck) the car tire industry? Tires reducing noise and improving efficiency would be something that could make a giant impact in the world. The spherical tire* is interesting concept, but would require re-engineering vehicles. Ideally something that would be a bolt-on to existing fleets as well would be interesting.

Hmm, I thought that too. I assumed that all banks, cell phone operators, etc. that I use would have to ask me for consent to sell my data, track me.

But that did not happen, they just send a note with all those GDPR information what they do with my data and that they have a good news for me: I don't have to do anything, as all my "agreements" are still valid without any action from my side. They haven't given me an option to give consent for, say, calling me, but don't give consent for tracking and profiling. Looks like this is ok, unless Orange got GDPR wrongly and wants to risk fines but I don't believe that.

One of the biggest Polish news portal (wp dot pl) has figure out the fantastic idea - they show a banner with a long, long text, that says at the end that if I close that banner, clicking on X button, I am automatically give them permission to track me and do virtually whatever they want with my data. If I don't agree for their terms and I don't close the banner (which is agreement as well) I am taken to "advanced settings" page that at the end gives me only one option - to agree for tracking and all the shady stuff they want to do with my data. It is impossible to enter their portal without agreeing for everything they want.

WP dot PL is a big business owned by a big German media company, so I guess they figured out everything correctly, apparently the regulation has a lot of loopholes and anyone with smart lawyers can overcome GDPR easily.

Which effectively kills that company even if court finds their violation was minimal.

How I do analytics
But there are not massive differences between the laws we've had for many years - for a UK example PECR and DPA implement EU regulations and contain many of the same principles around lawful basis, limiting the amount of data that's held and the length of time it's held for, etc.
It's saving it up for you...remember deleting thousands of Nagios notifications on the bus? Those were the days.
Lots of phones had touchscreens before. It was a combination of the physical design, engineering, UI and feature set that was so ground breaking. The thing is each of these things is intimately connected and depend on each other. You can’t just do one without the other three and have anything worthwhile. That’s why this was so hard.

It’s why analysts that just focuses on one obvious feature - a touch screen - misses the point so badly. If a touch screen was all that mattered, why didn’t the Android team copy one of the previous touch screen phones instead?

Ah, that's great that it's finally settled. RR is on v15 in terms of what it has to support though, so no dice; main focus at the minute seems to be on dropping v15 support and migrating to v16, which cleans up some of the code (particularly w/r/t the async side), but that has to happen before they bind to the new API, so going to be a while.

Betting on human beings to remain focused for a long time while being absolutely passive is bound to create issues though, we suck at that. It doesn't help that it's even more difficult to react when the autopilot messes up because your actual reaction time is not from the moment you see the object but from the moment you realize that the autopilot itself has not seen the object.

Except titleize changes not the first letter of a string, but the first letter of every word. That's title case (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/title_case).

Capitalize (https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/String.html#method-i-capital...) on the other hand does something even weirder from your perspective, as it also changes letters to lower case.
> which is among the worst of all sciences in evidentiary practices

Linguistics is worse: It's quite literally based on hearsay.

Edit: I think that's relevant. Perhaps mathematical skill is diametrically opposed to linguistic faculty.

Of course that's nonsense, but it's an observation inferred from the completely separate treatment of these subjects -- and other stereotypes. At least they are seperated to such an effect that being good at one of these is not perceived as prerequisite for the other. If it wasn't for informatics I would never heard the word "logic" in school. And even then, CS is very much focused on number crunching.

In fact, being good at one is often purported as apology a pro pos being bad at the other. I'm not sure why such a schism exists.
I had the exact same experience. I really wanted to like Inform 7 (and plenty of people do) but it feels completely counter-intuitive because it wants to feel like natural language but it's still "just" a programming language.

It still has a fairly rigid syntax - it's just more verbose than a regular programming language. That is probably an oversimplification, but that's how it felt to me at least.
What I actually liked most is the following:

Eating fermented fish out of a bento box, while gliding through Japan with 300km/h is completely acceptable, yacking away on your cell phone is not.

It makes for a very pleasent (and delicious) atmosphere while using public transport.
Well it's not completely clear to me that cameras can't look a few cars ahead. If we can, cameras can too. Maybe they're not smart enough yet, but I don't see the fundamental limitation. Apart from that, I agree that cheap + effective LIDAR would help significantly to get autonomous vehicles on the road now.

No, Chromely does not use WPF or WinForms. That is the main difference compared to other .NET Cef approaches. Chromely uses "thin" native GUI as host. This can be seen as an advantage or disadvantage depending on which angle you are looking at it.

I think all experiments of languages that resembled natural languages will never work until one will try to ascend to a more high-level paradigm.

Actuals programming language are based on a "forklift paradigm" : you describe the path of a forklift in a virtual warehouse where data's are in some places and your forklift move them from places to places.
So a natural language isn't design to express this kind of semantic.

In PPIG ( Psychology of Programming Interest Group ) 2006 was published a very interesting paper where is studied the metaphors which was shared by the core java library authors, the mental model said in another way.
It reaveals very interesting facts : Programmers tend to think the world in term of Belief-Intention agents. Agent are members of a society who trade and own datas and are subject to legal constraints. A method calls is a speech act. The execution is mentalized as a journey in a a spatial world. Etc.
There's a lot of metaphors like that, and it reveals tracks to conceive a more high level language.

So there's a lot of work in this field (Behavior-Tree based language, time dimension include inside the semantics, etc.).

Note that it is also possible to express non ambiguigous semantics in natural language : Attempto Controlled English is an exemple [2].

Here an toy example of what you could do with this language :

"MyWebPage is a webpage.
MyWebPage contains a textfield which a logical name is-named NameTextField.
His label is "Name".
MyWebPage contains a button which a logical name is-named SubmitButton. His label is "Submit".
If User clicks on Submit and NameTextField is empty then NameTextField ' s css class becomes AlertEmptyInput.
"

I'm not wild about the notch, but to be fair, the iPhone X is the only phone without any "chin" on the lower bezel which probably gives more of an immersive feel despite the assymetry of the notch at the top.

The Android OEMs are copying the top notch without removing the chin, which doesn't make a lot of sense.
The problem is calling it "Autopilot" in the first place compared to other brands. If you call it "Autopilot", people expect it to be an autopilot.

You can't magically make bridging to insecure services work in a secure way. If you want to use Tor to bridge to unencrypted HTTP, at some point someone needs to actually make an unencrypted HTTP request. And likewise for HTTPS requests.

HTTP is a stateless protocol, which is why what you're describing is not possible. You could design a protocol that let you split up requests in the manner you describe, but that protocol would not be HTTP.
I agree; defining well-named functions seem a superior solution. In Haskell, it would just be:

print (intercalate ", " [1..10])

I don't buy natural-language-ish programming languages. The grammar becomes far too complicated very quickly. A simple but flexible grammar, a la most functional languages, is superior.
