Have you thought about what that looks like from the user's perspective? You'd just as likely turn them away for life with such an unpleasant experience.
There is also economics, where they have this scale from perfect competition over oligopoly to monopoly. What happens in reality differs very much: many competitors for farmers, few competitors for car manufacturers, no competition for government institutions.

Currently, Firefox works in a compiler oligopoly. It seems they would prefer a LLVM monopoly for better efficiency.

Btw the Linux kernel only supports GCC, so Mozilla is not alone.
One of the contractual requirements for Google's acquisition of Deep Mind was that their technology will never be used for military purposes. I wonder if Google did this behind their back or Deep Mind is fully aware and is doing this willingly?

"One constraint we do have— that wasn’t part of a committee but part of the acquisition terms—is that no technology coming out of Deep Mind will be used for military or intelligence purposes." -Demis Hassabis

TL;DR: we should have used an IP that is not traditionally used for testing and internal stuff by everybody including Cisco.
> Would we be fine with the military killing the exact same people if the pilot was simply on the aircraft that launched the missiles or bombs?

No.

> If your problem is with killing people, it should be with the people who ordered the killing and not the specific weapon that was used to carry out the killing.

In the context of this discussion the problem would be with the weapons designers.

That said, to imply drones are just like previous weapons is naive. The ethics of warfare change over time as the weapons used to wage it change. And death in war being even more abstracted away via drones (a process began with the first thrown rock and continued up through the carpet bombing of WWII and Vietnam) is certainly worth discussing.

If nothin else drones raise the question of scale - they allow for a lot more targeted killings.

Until the day war becomes an ugly memory we should all do as much as possible to examine and understand the forms of dehumanization it produces.
Clang and GCC will generally compile standard C/C++ code just fine, but they add their own extensions to the language. I'd bet a lot of C or C++ projects assume `void` has a size of 1 in pointer arithmetic, for example. Try compiling some projects with -Wpedantic.

Now, Clang tries to implement the various GNU extensions, but there are some relatively significant differences. For example, GCC has no problem with a (conditional) goto to a label pointer even if you never took the address of a label anywhere in that function, while Clang treats that as an error, which can be a problem when using macros. Clang also treats _Pragma in macro arguments as you'd expect, while GCC puts all the pragmas before the rest of the code in the macro argument.

Those are just differences I persinally have struggled with, I'm sure there are more.
Everyone has their own thing. Probably my second favourite thing is hanging out with friends and talking and laughing with wine.

There are many other other ways you can do that, so I simply cannot find a reason to care for your "plight". I hope the ad industry burns in flames and everyone who works in it finds other, better things to build then garbage no one is willing to pay for.
What if the one that ordered the killing is an AI system designed by Google? Who is to blame? Remember that clients don't know the full implications when they ask for a service.
Negative prices will usually result in the produce shutting down the wind generators (any modern generator has a coupling at minimum)

Shutting of generation is already part of the grid as you need to do that when the grid becomes underloaded.
Not necessarily.

Let say you are a large developing country and you want to bootstrap a domestic car industry. The first cars coming out will probably not be that great as you don't have the engineering knowledge or the experience building cars yet.

Cars built by foreign companies are definitively better, and maybe cheaper to buy and/or to operate.

If you do nothing, this new car industry would die quite soon.

So you impose tariffs on foreign cars, that way your domestic production is protected, and you are able to make it grow and make it better. However be careful to not protect it too much, otherwise it will keep producing crappy cars looking like Trabant. With time you decrease the protection progressively.

Another less abstract example is food, for instance, rice production and tariffs in Haiti:

well, governments should do both. Computer algorithms can be a very subtle form of power. And of course we should have a degree of public control over them.
I know that the star is a de-facto way to calculate the popularity of particular repo. But, let me put aside this calculation for a moment, then I myself have stats around 250 repos and more than 40% of it, I have starred just because to refer it sometime later, not because I like it or love it, just for future ref., when I have to work on something that might need help or ref. from that particular repo.

So, if there is something that have a way bookmarks the repo then chances are hight these repos have lesser stars. Also, there is popular trend nowadays I see that 100 other developers have starred one repo for some particular reason that chances are hight that other 5 developers might star it because they just follow the developer, who have starred.
It is true that LBOs can injure companies - like what happened to Toys'R'Us bankruptcy after the Bain Cap & KKR buyout.

It is especially dangerous in times of inflated multiples like we are seeing these days, where PE valuations are kind of bubbling. The demand for M&A transactions is so much bigger than the supply that prices growth quicker than the underlying business value - making it usually harder to justify through profitability improvements.

Yet the whole PE process does bring benefits to the underlying industries is buys, especially by providing investment capacities to businesses that usually don't have enough, and also by professionalization and by introducing sophisticated management standards to the companies (eg. in terms of strategic thinking, reporting, optimization, pricing, etc.).

> Telegram is prevalently used by Syrian fighters

So Apple is afraid that they will start killing people in Europe using newer Telegram versions?

Russian propaganda says similar things, that Telegram is used by terrorists and drug dealers and that is why government needs to be able to read your messages.

> Telegram recently ran an ICO that, at the very least, probably runs afoul of American securities law.

Telegram is a British company.
> Or accept the reality that we live in a world that feels the need to kill people.

We dream day and night about inventing self-driving cars and about reaching Mars (which are both nice things but without which I can easily live) but we've given up on trying to stop killing each other, and worse of all, we regard it as futile. It hasn't always been like that, for example just look at the Catholic Church's push to bring back peace in the war-torn world of the early Middle Ages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_peace_traditions#The_...). For example just look at one of Thomas Aquinas's arguments regarding this:

> Peace must be a central motive even in the midst of violence

Now, look at Google, an almost $1 trillion company which is one of the most successful business entities on this planet and tell me if you can say that "peace is a central motive" for them in the midst of the quest for profit. It isn't.

I have to admit, I don't intentionally upload photos to Google Photos because I want them categorized. It seemed to be the default on my phone, and it seems like a pretty neat feature when I noticed it, but the reason it's being used is because I'm too apathetic to prevent it.

It makes me kind of sad, not for the lack of privacy, but for the feeling of getting older and just not caring about fighting the technology to make it do what I want.

The FBI says you should reboot your router. Should you?
These are all highly opinionated statements, but:

- If you're American, you should support Google developing technology for the US military.

- If you're human, you should support a foreign policy that only considers military action as a last resort.

- If you're human, you should support early, aggressive, global regulation of the military applications of AI and drones. We made this mistake with nuclear. We leveled Hiroshima, we leveled Nagasaki, we fueled decades of animosity between the Soviets and the West that still plagues the world today. We need to do better next time. The biggest abuser might be the US again but it could just as easily be China.

- If you're human, you should support regulation that forbids Google from using your personal for military applications without your express and informed consent.

Substitute Google for any other tech giant's name.
You can add a scary warning which could be enough for many users. And charge additional fee for fixing system broken because of this.
Is running a photo hosting service a violation of GDPR itself? That is, if I take a photo of someone else (not myself) and upload it without consent of that person to AcmePhoto.com, and AcmePhoto.com now has personal information stored about someone without their consent, is the site liable? Do I need to get the consent of every person of every photo I upload?

Where do you draw the line? If the site processes the EXIF metadata are they in violation? If they use a neutral clustering algorithm to group visually similar images, are they in violation (be it humans, cars, or chairs)? if I take a visually clustered group of images and tagthem "a_imho", have I now made the site have biometric data related to you?

I mean, a lot of people say "well, as long as you're in the spirit of the GDPR, don't worry", but lawyers don't care whether you're in the spirit of something, they only care if they can win a case, and when the law is vague, "spirit" seems like one judge could hang you, and another judge could free you depending on the luck of the draw.
I thought the same. It’s a shame there will not be any updates (some aspects of war/diplomacy could do with changing) but it’s still a great game.

Alright, I'll post this as top-level:

> The sole reason I’m still on Facebook is because events are organized on Facebook. (eksemplar)

I study Music Management at the conservatory (university), and spend most of my time on events and festivals. It is my impression that few in the tech business understands the magnitude of this market, and how Facebook entirely owns it. The entire concert-format is under enormous pressure from the booming festival and club scene, making services like Songkick irrelevant. ResidentAdvisor is good, but too editorial, too little tech.

Facebook democratised event-making in a great way. You can trust that a good portion of the people attending an event is actually going. You can make events private, which is good for pirate-parties and other underground events (Lead Users). And importantly, it gives event makers insight into who is coming, how many, how the growth curve is etc. Artists can link to their personalised profile, that people will actually follow for updates. This is hugely important for creators.

If you start a competitor, it'd be natural to focus on music, but then you'll still leave all the people interested mostly in art-exhibitions on Facebook. Facebook is content-neutral, which is a huge advantage. Further, they have an entire business-suite platform (groups) on top of this, meaning I can discuss our events, plan them, while linking to relevant artists, venues etc on Facebook. I can book artists, book a venue and market the event entirely on the FB-platform. That is an important advantage in the space of social media.

Facebook is, without comparison, the best tool for events.
This raises too many questions to give a meaningful answer here on HN.

But if you want a quick opinion.... sue them for underpaying you and report it to the tax department and demand full pay for the work you did and also point out to them that you own the intellectual property rights of all the work you did and threaten to sue them if they don’t pay you for it.

Just throw it to a lawyer.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but none.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t really used YouTube much, but there seem to be very few content producers that deliver content which is based on any form of scientific methodology or even any form of real journalism.

I can quickly find a ton of “documentaries” on Ancient Rome for instance, and I have watched quite a few. I happen to have made the rare mix of CS and history when I took my original candidate degree at the university of Aarhus, and I specialized in Ancient Rome. I’ve yet to see anything on YouTube on Ancient Rome, that wasn’t amateurish at best unless it came from somewhere else, like the BBC.

I think that is the best way to put it. YouTube just doesn’t seem like a good place for production of knowledge, and as much as I enjoy watching a guy build a clay cabin from the ground up with his bare hands, I’d frankly rather read a book.

Haha, I literally just quote-tweeted the same thing.

I highly doubt the author is rich. Just clout-seeking.
Sure, but if what the author is saying is true, then it implies that there is nothing special about markets, and a system involving an equal number of humans and computers following some other optimization algorithm could achieve similar results in efficiency.

And if a government sponsored and modified such an algorithm in an attempt to optimize for equality (second only to efficiency of usage), such a system could be an effective socialism. It is at least an interesting avenue to consider if mathematical and computational parallels could be constructed.
"Who would you rather be oppressed by?" isn't a very convincing argument that you're on the right side of history.

The question was does using a EU VPN grant GDPR rights and the answer is yes. The EU VPN provider must grant you GDPR rights.

Article(3) of the GDPR states clearly where the GDPR applies. There is zero mentions of EU citizenship anywhere in the GDPR, and being an EU citizen who is not an EU resident entitles you to no GDPR rights. Again, read Article(3).
Now try it with an unpopular view. People can lose their job over a racist tweet, get fired for a sexist comment.

I know what you're saying, but I think it's easier to conceptualize if you write the equation:

The other way lends credence to the thought that an increase in liabilities requires a decrease in equity. Without knowing how journaling works, I think such an error would actually be quite logical.
