When you put it that way, I nod in agreement.

But at the same time, I reflect upon the days of the phone book, which most people on this board likely never knew. Your phone number and address would be listed by the phone company as part of your phone number subscription - an unlisted number would cost you more.

While times of change, and the searchability of the digital world does raise some other concerns, I still wonder how big a deal it is for ICANN to require this. Is it really revealing "all of your personal information" if you reveal the PO box, spam-trap "domains@" email address, and phone number of the domain owner?

If the registrar were revealing other info, I'd say "it's pretty absurd." But by default allowing people the info to contact you, as the owner of a domain name? That doesn't seem like extortion. Heck, if you own any real estate in the U.S., your contact info is listed in the tax assessor's database for all to find, same as in the WHOIS database.

Regardless, definitely an interesting topic to chew on.

> so I don’t see a single reason why a malicious government cannot confiscate them.

Technically, how can they confiscate them? They cannot.

They can tax them 100% or 150%, true. And they can imprison or kill their taxpayers if they with. true.

But if I managed to cross the border from (hypothetically) malicious Sweden to (hypothetically) benevolent Liberia, with the private key in my head, what can they do about it?

They can, and money governments in the past have, deny me passage with anything of value but my clothes - it is often the case that anything of value gets taken at the border (hell, it is likely the US will take anything above $10,000 on your person unless you are very well equipped legally). But there is no technical way for them to do that with bitcoin, and for that matter to even know that you carry the private key of a $1B wallet in your head, unless they have researched it before hand -- which, at last for now, is hard to do for the entire population.

> Sadly it will be in any case too late given the massive amount of energy and co2 thrown away..

I agree bitcoin is likely wasting significant energy and co2, but ...

Have your ever seen a rough estimate of the costs (in resources / energy / co2) that our existing monetary system imposes? It is certainly not free, and e.g. in a lot of places more than 1% of real-estate / energy is consumed by financial entities, many of which have usefulness to society arguably comparable to bitcoin.

I have looked for a study as such and has not found one.

(sidenote: some estimates are that 1% of global energy use goes towards clothes drying. probably provides even less value to society than bitcoin)
> You claim that GDPR has a big administrative burden to small businesses but that's not the case as long as your business model is not based on invasion of privacy. If it is, well, tough life!

There's something I don't get in your argument: How having a business model not based on invasion of privacy is protecting your business from receiving GDPR Subject Access requests requests, the legal fees a small business needed to spend to take care of those, and the handling of those?

In your food example it'd be more like as if a law required you to have an employee meeting with a health inspector daily. And that employee must not be a cook/staff. This seems easier for a big chain to comply than a small business.

Here, to monitor all their email, each social media pages, etc and spend time figuring out if each tweet/post is a subject access request is going to be much easier to scale for a big company compared to a small business.

Also one thing a bit off topic that's not clear to me is if suddenly a business needs to start handling and archiving sensitive information because of GDPR letters (for each request, there must be a proof of identity such as ID, passport scan, etc). You now risk having potentially non compliant businesses handle those. That seems like exposing yourself more to identity theft for each GDPR request you make.

(See "how do we recognize a request" in https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da... )

You’ll still have legal trouble if your food or drinks harm people.

Same with the web, if you’re coding for your own social circle GDPR is not something you need to comply as long as someone of your social circle is harmed and starts an action against you.

Also, different regulations for different sizes is due to the nature of the business. It’s not that small shops are allowed to be dirtier than the chains.

I agree. If you have ever read the book Crystal Fire, about the work done at Fairchild Semiconductor in the 1950-70s, it took the best and brightest decades to solve the chemistry and engineering challenges present in building transistors and ICs. Even with 20 skilled PHDs as a starting point, I don't think you could overcome the practical manufacturing challenges in any reasonable amount of time.

The racist wins if he can spoil your other interviews. Let's say you have 4 interviews, the first one has a racist, and it's obvious. Now let's say you get bitter and resentful, and you blow your other 3 interviews, even though those 3 people aren't racist. The racist is happy(if he finds out) because not only did he prevent you from getting his job, he messed with your head and prevented you from getting the attainable 3 jobs.

So, within the scenario above, racism can take one toll or many tolls. And this is on the individual level, wherein people operate from day to day. They need a job. It would seem that being able to reset expectations, forgive, forbear, and go into the subsequent 3 interviews would be the ideal strategy to achieve success in job hunting, and prevent the racist from doing the most damage.

Since you mentioned 2nd order effects: how much do the 2nd order effects recreate/reinforce the first order effects? This would be another psychological survey I would be interested in.

If someone is fearful of racists, how many people are likely to become more racist as a result of this fear ( either themselves or people they come in contact with )? Isn't racism based on fear in the first place? Fear of other races? ( and therefore a reaction to fight or flight arbitrarily based on race? )

I assume you mean that employees who think their colleagues must suck at Y because they are on team X, or who worry themselves about whether some other team's chosen hiring standards are "too easy," are the immature ones?

(And presumably it's immature to even care about 'sucking at Y' at all, unless a specific task requires skill at Y and is not being solved, in which case it sounds like a problem of assigning it to the wrong person, not a problem of general hiring for Y in all cases.)

Yes, and no one jumps ship like a young tech worker at the base of their salary curve. The flip side of being able to code all day as a younger engineer is that nothing’s tying you to a job or location. One call from a recruiter in NYC, SF or Seattle and you’re gone.
Are you in the Bay area? I think that in the bay area it is easier to find a tech job regardless of age. Startups are one place but there are a lot of smaller established tech companies. Try biomedical companies or pharma. At some point, basically every company is a tech company or use technology in some way which requires a few software engineers.

As I said, I don't live in the US but I've heard that there, bills are negociated by insurances afterwards. It's a shame that the patient has an unexpected bill to pay (and I think a good part of trouble/resentment stems from there). Here it seems like they were not warned about it (whereas we are where I live) and that's the only reasonable explanation I could think of. But maybe someone from there can shed light on why the exam the patient agreed upon came back as an unexpected bill, instead of incomprehensible downvotes ?

Ask HN: Suggestions needed on wide angle close distance cameras
Hello,
I am looking for cameras that can get videos of monitor for an industrial application. the unfortunate constraint is that the camera has to be placed at a close distance from monitor, say less than 10" from the monitor and still be able to read content out of monitor. i looked some wide angle rasberryPi cameras like 160deg, 5MP cameras but their resolution around edges are poor. So any suggestions will be really helpful

Ask HN: LEMP-friendly project management software
Hello.
I'm looking for a project management tool akin to OpenProject that I can self-host and use on a small scale (sub-10 users). I have not yet tried OpenProject in real life because I'm waiting patiently for Ubuntu 18.04 support, which is coming.

While I wait, I would like to look at alternatives with a view to ongoing use and offering something back to the community in some fashion, whether it's documentation, user support or something else.

I'm running a Linux, Nginx, MySQL (Persona) and PHP stack and something that fits nicely into that setup would be super. I do web ops by day, so I'm well-versed with the technicals. Until now, however, I've used only proprietary desktop software.

What would you recommend I look at, and also avoid? Any advice is very warmly received. Thanks very much in advance.
You absolutely have to extend the protocol - or rather, at least one protocol in the stack - to communicate the status in-band. It would be a nightmare otherwise.

With HTTP/2 you could have a separate control channel carrying a text/event-stream payload, with messages indicating when the server was ready.

With HTTP/1.x, you could abuse HTTP trailers to indicate readiness - the load balancer could read the response until the end of the body, send that to the client, then wait until the server sends a trailer to say it's ready for more work. Or the load balancer could follow every real request with a request to /pleaseBlockUntilYouAreReadyForMoreWork, and only send another real request once it got a reponse to that.

With RPC protocols that aren't HTTP, and don't have a flexible presentation layer where this would fit, then you would probably have to add explicit messages to the protocol, which would be a shame.
Re: The same thought experiment can be applied to SQL

I am a fan of "Table Oriented Programming" and believe OOP forced an unfortunate shift from data-oriented programming to code-oriented programming. I hope the pendulum swings back. APL is intended for mostly scientific applications, but it has some nice lessons for other domains, and RDBMS may be a door into common data-oriented programming.

I also believe that "Dynamic Relational" is needed to improve data-oriented mock-ups, experiments, and small-scale projects. The existing RDBMS are too "stiff" for some needs. We have dynamic programming languages, so why not for databases? Yes, there are some dynamic query languages, but they require throwing out SQL and starting from scratch, which cranks up the re-learning curve. Dynamic Relational only requires minor changes to SQL. (SQL ain't perfect, but so far a decent replacement has yet to gain traction. I'm personally a SMEQL fan.)

Bingo. The intent of the law is fine. But the administrative burden for small projects and teams is inappropriate.

I too wonder why the MD side of healthcare doesn't work more like this in the US.

I was actually very taken aback recently when I needed to get dental work and was presented with costing info about 10 mins after my visit started.

It did feel a bit greasy, I must admit - but I get that the point is for everyone to be on the same page before the procedure.

edit: I now recall that I did use Urgent Care for awhile for healthcare while uninsured - in the US - these are basically "fixed menu" clinics. They have a menu of services / costs for cash.
> No, but you are the de-facto DPO

The GDPR requires that the DPO must be independent from the organisation, so you can't be 'your own DPO'.

On the other hand the DPO is only required when sensitive or large quantities of data are concerned.
You need a DPO if you are a public authority (eg government body or public school) or if you carry out "regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale or when processing special categories of data …".

If you receive data from Google Analytics that is aggregated into categories or regions (ie not identifiable) or on a small scale, then you are not in the realm of large scale, systematic monitoring, so no DPO needed.
