FWIW I think a big reason for this is also rent control. In Austria for instance many stores can't afford existing units because the moment a old store moves out the rent increases 10 fold. So many old stores remain in prime locations because for them still cheap rent exists and they sell old radios or similar things there because based on their rent this model still works whereas if the store were to close and be re-opened under a new owner they would not be able to continue that business model any more. These artificially low rents keep many stores afloat that would otherwise already have closed.
Disadvantages as a consequence of being spied on by the "googles" of the world are difficult to prove, because of information asymmetry:

* were you denied entry in a country because the agent had a bad day or because of something you wrote on twitter?

* did your insurance rates increase because of a market adjustment, or because of something your car mechanic or car manufacturer shared with the insurer?

* were you denied that job because they found a better candidate or because they found some thought crimes on your social media?

* were you stopped by the police for a random check or because the cameras matched your face to suspicios online purchases?

* did you lose your global entry access because you're a threat to national security or because you accidentally ordered a fake bag on Amazon that you never even received?

* were you passed for promotion because you're not good enough or because your employer found out through LinkedIn that you were looking for another job last year?

In a world increasingly controlled by algorithms and data, you won't even know when you are being harmed.

Considering that Go doesn't even do well (and has horrible library support) for most of the stuff C++ is used for (GUI apps, 3D, AAA games, systems programming, high performance scientific calculations, etc), probably yes.

Now, if you did network servers with C++, probably Go is a better/easier/smaller surface fit.
Democracy is complicated (we have a complicated democracy because simple democracy doesn't reflect _our_ values, for instance), but freedom? Maybe at-any-costs freedom isn't universal, but freedom generically is. It is tied so deeply into human dignity you might be imagining Chinese culture poorly if you think it's a bad match.

Also, I live in Taiwan, so with a data point of 1, I'm pretty sure freedom and democracy are a really good match for Chinese culture (probably a better match than American culture? hard to say). It works well here. But that's just my two cents. [edit: it sure as hell works better than the white terror]

The EU did not make cookies an opt-in technique. The EU made irrelevant cookies opt-in. Cookies that are essential for the functioning of the service do not need a notice. If you require user accounts, you don't need to show a cookie notice. If you implement a shopping cart without user accounts, you also don't need to show a cookie notice.

Unfortunately most websites don't understand this simple idea and show the cookie notice indiscriminately (or, perhaps, they just all use cookies for tracking in which case the notice should be there).

In the end Intel got bad PR and AMD got good PR. Is it a major PR failure from Intel?
But then the answer is not "These things" and let the FF devs deal with the fallout. The answer would be "This is what you can do and you'll see quite a few odd results. Ask _me_ when you have questions and I'll explain as good as I can.".

I have quite a few of these switches on. First party isolation for example breaks the paypal payment flow on some, but not all, shops. It also breaks quite a few pages that recognize it as an adblocker. I know what to do if that happens, but I would never just recommend enabling that switch.
They're about the same. Both contribute to linux. Intel's GPU drivers are more complete and open, but their GPUs are not in the same league as AMDs. AMD has open and closed source versions of their driver and are moving more towards the open version (which is already very good). Both companies have closed-source initial boot and AMT-like tech with potential backdoors built into their CPUs.

To deal with this, I could try to keep a large supply of spare wallpaper. Besides taking up space, the spare wallpaper will not age the same as the wallpaper on the walls. When I try to use it, I'll discover that it now stands out.

The alternative is trying to monitise the userbase some other way, and we're not interested in that game. We have no advertising, no data sales, and no ethical conundrums or regrets about that choice!

By my experience, you don't even need all 22 to feel overwhelmed. I still haven't found one news agency with a feed that would feel like "important news". Actually, all the news are simply the worst, and getting worse still. All the most prominent media resources manage lately to combine in a news feed tell-you-nothing headlines, lengthy writing style of the newyorker w/o a summary, and still not including a recap/timeline of previous events when following up on something that's ongoing for the last 2 months. Plus, I do understand that importance is somewhat a matter of perspective, but they still manage to post some nonsence every 2 minutes, while not covering really impactful business news/economic events.

UPPING CREDIT
I was always skeptical each time my friends tell’s me about how a hacker helped them hack their credits until I confirneded with Erika who happens to be my closest friend. I told her about hiring the services of a hacker and she referred me to HACKWEST, I had my doubt cleared. I read reviews online and they are simply remarkable. I decided to write my own review to share my experience with this honest hacking film. They helped me hack into a website and cleared some records as well as fixed my credit score at an affordable cost. They are different from just any hacker. To me, they are simply the best. I spoke to them about my credit card debts and they fixed it by upping my score from 450 to 800 removing all negative items and replacing them with wonderful tradelines making me debt free. Yon can contact HACKWEST on +1 424 307 2638 or HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM.

YoKart vs. Magento – What You Need to Know
Regarding the first, five years is an interesting assumption. I’ve never worked the same job for five years, even when I spent seven years at the same company. In this context, extending the time frame strengthens the argument for automation (because you are justified in spending more time on it, more things meet the bar for automation).

I notice that we tend to favor arguments like this, which have the flavor of objectivity. But as I just said, you can play with the time frame to make your point.

The second one is one of the truest things I have ever seen in my life. We unfortunately still believe too strongly in the ability of code to fix things, as opposed to making them more complicated.

For septatonic scales I use the following mnemonic: there are 14 notes in 2 octaves and they are distributed among 5 strings. 14=4*3+2 so there's one string with 2 notes and 4 strings with 3 notes. And it always goes like

OO-O

OO-O

O-O

O-OO

O-OO

The semitone steps seem to "gravitate" towards the 2-note string. So just loop this pattern around and you get all possible septatonic scale shapes (modulo the offset caused by shorter distance between G and B strings). Also the second note of the two-note string is always a minor scale root.
> He had never done any of these things himself before.

Not only he had never done these before, but he had never paid attention for a single minute how they were done by his parents, he did not care, things appeared, ready done, that was the natural way of things (like cargo cult in a way) and he had no interest in the process. I had a friend like that (to make things worse, he then moved straight from his parents' to his girlfriend's, so it went on like this until he was 27...)

On the other hand, I almost never had anything to at home because my folks were of the kind who like to do everything themselves and do it quick, so there was nothing to be done, but I spent all my time questioning and above all observing them. Children are curious in general, but I have always been much more than average. So, whenever I was left alone (it happened frequently) or when I was later dropped in real life, I never had any difficulty, I could just reproduce their way of doing things.

I think that in a same country/culture, there is also a difference between countryside and cities. I grew up in the countryside and all my school mates were living in farms, and they were more than happy to help their parents after school (or event to miss school to help with field work sometimes). I mean, it is much more interesting (and for some of it, it gives a feeling of responsibility like an adult) to feed the poultry, bring the cattle back to the stable, drive the tractor, help fixing tools, work a bit of wood and metal, discover mechanics, move and arrange straw bales (in the times when they could still be moved and arranged) and a hundred other things; than doing house chores (laundry, dish washing, floor weeping, OK you do them once to try, but then it gets boring as soon as the second time comes...). And there is not much more to do when you live in an apartment.

Ask HN: I started a company in Japan but I'm in over my head
So, long story short, I invested 50k USD into incorporating a company in Japan (a 株式会社) and now I'm realising I probably don't have what it takes to make this work.

A bit of background: I've been in Japan since 2011, doing a mix of programming, studying and English teaching. I've never managed to keep a programming job longer than 6 months, so realistically I was mostly supported by English teaching.

I like living in Japan but I haven't been able to progress my career much. I thought maybe I would have better luck starting my own company so I paid an judicial scrivener to incorporate a company and I invested all my savings into it. Another reason for starting the company was to allow me to extend my visa.

Well, after starting the company at the start of this year I realise I was hopelessly naive. I haven't really managed to do anything (the same problem I had when I was working for other companies). I've only really managed to use my bank account recently. I've got lots of forms and paperwork that I'm supposed to file but I don't really know what its for or how to fill it in. I've very much in over my head.

I haven't managed to release any software or do any consulting.

What is my next step? I have honestly thought about suicide, or just fleeing the country. But I want to do the right thing, I don't want my actions to reflect badly on other foreigners in Japan.

Does anyone have any advice about what to do next, or how to avoid getting into scrapes like this in the future?
Proposal: use PCG Source in math/rand for Go 2
There's so much that's great about C#, and that results from really smart, pragmatic, forward-looking language design, that I find it surprising how many aspects of C# development are hampered by really bad design.

Specifically, the backwards compatibility story of the standard library is a mess (all the different .NET Framework versions, or wait, do I mean .NET Standard, or WinRT, or...?) and the package manager (NuGet) is not very impressive.

I figure that the good stuff (the core language design and CLR) comes from Hejlsberg and his team, while the clunky stuff comes from the wider Windows teams at Microsoft.

Are there many people using C# for things other than Windows apps and cross-platform games? I get the impression that Java is still much bigger for cloud infrastructure, finance etc, but maybe I'm wrong.
If you're talking about C#, I have similar issues. I like to play with F# from time to time though. I've started using it in a small project to make window switching in Windows more bearable, for which .NET made actual sense. Apart from some platform-inherited weirdnesses, it's actually a really great language and useful to explore more FP oriented ideas.

It's the same with job interviews. No matter how smart you are, you better be on time and show some manners. Because if you don't, you'll be asked: "If you are that smart, why don't you understand that you are not getting a job this way?" and frankly, there's not a good anwser to that.

At present, the 'driver assistance' solutions on the market seem to be counter-intuitive. As the article notes, they may handle most situations competently, lulling drivers into a false sense of security, before reacting completely inappropriately to a rapidly developing hazard leaving the driver no time to re-take control.

Tesla explicitly states that a driver using their Autopilot must keep their hands on the wheel at all times. They place the driver in the role of supervising the machine. It seems like other driver-assistance technologies require the same, which is a fundamental misunderstanding of what drivers expect these systems to do. Drivers would expect these systems to ease their workload or take over some of the tedium of long highway drives. But these systems require the driver to be alert and constantly monitoring the system for abnormal behaviour. As far as I can tell, this is more work than simply driving manually. On a long drive, I can slip into my own sort of autopilot where I'm paying full attention to the road, able to react to changing conditions ahead, but am also entertaining a long train of thought in my head.

Six seconds sounds like a long time to react to a changing situation when driving (drivers know that accidents happen in split seconds), but if things are working normally, six seconds is about the length of time you might spend changing the climate controls or selecting a different playlist. If Tesla are saying their cars can't be trusted for a single-digit number of seconds without human supervision lest they total themselves, since it's so often toted that the driver's hands were off the wheel and thus he couldn't retake manual control and prevent the crash, then these companies are approaching driver assistance technology in completely the wrong way. More than that, these systems are outright dangerous because they're implemented so completely wrong. Taking your hands off the wheel in an unassisted car for six seconds won't result in it driving itself into the barrier beside you unless you're extremely unlucky at that exact moment and your front wheel hits a pothole. For these machines to be this unpredictable is becoming a serious safety hazard.

I'm going to stick with a car with non-adaptive cruise control and nothing else. And be extra vigilant around Teslas on the roads.
