In general I frame the discussion so that I can emphasize the effects of surveilance on society and key members of society (judges, government employees, journalists, law enforcement, doctors etc). They could be blackmailed or reveal the data of many others through their carelessnes.

The average Joe is not clever enough to figure out what's happening and is probably not worth the effort to educate them. Try it on family and friends, but don't get your hopes up :)

IT workers are a special case: they think they're super smart but are just as clueless about the topic like the general population. And they help develop these systems, so it might be worthwile to try to use social pressure to get them to quit helping the abusers.

Ultimately this can only be solved through new laws and regulations, like the GDPR.
I went to an immunotherapist six times and they were unable to determine my allergies. After a whole year, I finally figured out on my own though an elimination diet that I'm allergic to eggs.

That’s purely aesthetics unless it’s providing structural integrity to the plaster, which I’m pretty sure it’s not. Plaster generally fails because the keys break off, not because of visible cracks (though these may indicate places where keys have been broken off).
After the constant succession of revelations of the sorry state of privacy, along with myriad data breaches, all I want a browser to do is lie and obfuscate. So I'll gladly take the sledgehammer boolean of resistFingerprinting for now.

I've yet to come across an extension that does something like this so I'm presuming it's not possible via extensions?

Are Mozilla working to make this more granular and let me whitelist individual features on a per site basis?

I'd far rather lose tracking than get the very minor benefit of a (slow loading) web font or en-GB over en-US. Especially if I can opt in the few I trust or need those features.
I don't know about the compiler internals, but from the perspective of a C# user, async/await is really excellent. It's easy to use and the resulting code is easy to read and understand. Much simpler than chained futures, Go-style channels, etc. It's good language design in that sense (the implementation may or may not be good).
And any of them thinking they can't be all be the first ones to fall.
The article says that jaws got smaller due to agriculture making food softer, and this evolutionary change causes both snoring and crooked teeth, which in turn braces are a bandaid for. The point made in the heading isn't really discussed except in a parenthetical ("braces may also make this worse"). Baity headline.
Not OP, but I recently have set up Tiny Tiny RSS and did something similar. I find that there are two categories: High bandwidth feeds (your NYTimes, Reuters, etc.), and low bandwidth feeds (blogs/projects I like to follow, the occasional youtube channels, etc.)

If you curate it (I have worlds news, US news, politics, tech, science, etc), I find it's actually pretty nice to be able to scan through the headlines and see what interests you. It seems to augment my Reddit/HN feeds pretty well. I find that I can scan through all the headlines in ~3-4 minutes.

I also find it is incredibly nice for the low bandwidth feeds. I don't feel like I need to check those everyday, when I get an update it shows a notification and I can go straight through it. As a result, I am subscribed to a lot more of those, as it very easy to look through.
> The “optional namespaces” thing is something which bugs me a lot though. That importing a module works similar to `from module import *` in Python. It makes code confusing to read and grasp IMO (which module does this symbol come from?). Other than that, a pretty cool language.

This is a common complaint, but there is rarely a solution proposed alongside the complaint. Nim is significantly different from Python to warrant these semantics, but I am really open to hearing ideas of how this could be improved keeping in mind these differences (operator overloading, no classes).

A recent proposal was made here, and it looks like it will be adopted, I'd love to know what you think about it:

The scam books are not just "bad writing" and usually don't rip off other works; many of them are filled with pure garbage: random letters that form non-words.

But maybe you're right, the size of the inventory is what matters to Amazon who may be stuck in a "growth at all costs" mentality. That would explain it in part.
The real utility of democracy isn't really the people getting a say, despite the propaganda on the side of the tin. The real utility of democracy is that it enables a mechanism for bloodless revolution, by essentially hosting them periodically instead of letting the pressures build up for years and decades until the whole thing explodes in a violent, civilization-damaging orgy of blood and destruction. It gives a mechanism for factions to win today, and know cleanly that they won, and the losing factions to know that they lost today, but there is no need to resort to active violence because they will have another chance in 2/4/6 years, and in the meantime, are best off using words rather than war. These are the key characteristics that needs to be kept intact. The people voting is merely the only mechanism that I am aware of that has the ability to accomplish these goals; it utilizes the sheer inertial mass of the entire populace as a guarantee of the next vote occurring and as a dampener on excessively excited governments. (For this, the propaganda that Democracy is all about the people getting a say is useful, because it makes the population more likely to get properly feisty if you try to take it from them.) Personally I think there are some other possibilities, though it isn't clear to me they can function under the Westphalian definition of countries and sovereignty.

Looking at China's past decade or so... I'm getting the sense that they're going to be on the usual authoritarian trajectory of countries that decide the democracy isn't for them. Initially it can work better, because democracies are always messy, especially superficially messy in the ways that elites find oh-so-distasteful. But the thing is, while democracies are always about the same level of messy, the authoritarian regimes build up a lot of stress in the system which they hide in various places until they can hide no more, and one day the whole thing simultaneously explodes and implodes and is, on the whole, a great deal more messy than the ever-so-distasteful democracy would have been. Is the messiness of democracy the fault of the governance mechanism, or a reflection of the underlying messiness that exists regardless?

Is democracy good as such? That's a question for personal values. Would democracy be better for China in the next, say, 20 years than its current path? Probably, by any metric you choose. For all of its disadvantages on a day-to-day basis, in a 21st century world democracy really does have some significant long-term advantages, regardless of your local ideology, as long as you like, say, being alive, not fighting civil wars, that sort of thing.
Perl development with Visual SlickEdit on linux, by 2006-2007.

i attribute to the fact that the language is extremely expressive, full of ready-to-use CPAN modules and VSE was/is compiled natively to the Operating System, from a nicely written codebase. So the IDE was actually helping me, instead of keeping me frustrated waiting many seconds for each context menu ( cof, eclipse, cof ).
But it lacked ( by then ) on plugins for many other tasks on many other languages.
> Probably most websites use Google Analytics or an alternative.

How is this not essential though? You can't effectively run a business without some understanding of your traffic and where it's coming from. Also, you can use Google Analytics in a way that doesn't store PII.
The taking spots away argument doesn’t make any sense. There are 20 clubs in the EPL. That’s 220 starting players. Even if 10% are English, your starting lineups give you enough English players to field an entire team. And those players get to play with the best in the world. Of all the teams, the English players would have the most collective experience playing against the best. More importantly (because players don’t learn how to play during matches, but rather, during training) they would have trained with the best in the world.

That should be an unmitigated advantage.
I love Karpathy but this is Karpathy’s worst talk. People have been doing applied ML for a long time in many real world settings and everyone who has done it has gone through the experiences of labeling guidelines getting ballooned, uncleared data, long tail surprises and so on. This is nothing specific to deep learning and nobody called it “Software 2.0”. Most ML practitioners already know it’s all about data and so called IDE to manage the data and predictions have taken many different forms. The talk would be more interesting if Kapathy had something new to say, for example, how to avoid need for long tail outliers by generalizing on more higher level concepts.
Do you actually play an important role in society which gives you access to the information of many people or which would make others interested in blackmailing you? If yes, you'd hopefully already be aware of those risks and also educate your contacts on how to act in a provacy-conscious way.

Otherwise use Google, use whatever you want, nobody cares.
A KK in Japan is currently the least expensive option. Basically all you need is to pay for the registration paperwork (about ¥300k) and what used to be a minimum capital of ¥10 million has now no minimum.

There used to be Yugen (limited responsibility) with a minimum capital of ¥3 million but it disappeared with the new KK law.

That was about 12 years ago.
In the UK some people are taxed at >100% on income, but that aside

If you have 100 shops, and rent 11 at $10k a month, and the rest are empty, you get $110k a month

If you have 100 shops, and rent 60 at $2k a month, and 40 are empty, you get $120k a month

Now lets assume a 50% tax

In the first example you keep $55k
In the second example you keep $60k

Great, go for the second.

But now if you make the empty shops a tax writeoff, you instead

first example, $110k income, $850k loss. No tax to pay, total income $110k with no tax (and a £750k loss to offset other income)
second example, $120k income, $80k loss. Tax to pay on $40k which is $20k, so total net income $100k

This is assume that you can claim that unrealised rent as a loss. I believe there are ways of doing that (charity shops for example)
Technically, on-device processing is clearly the way forward (it's interesting how Apple is currently pioneering the field in a way).

The pessimist in me already sees how three letter agencies worldwide will welcome this change in order to push down their selectors to the device as well. Recording only the one percent of potentially relevant conversations will make backdoors exponentially easier to hide in the background traffic as well as being much lighter to process.
That's not normal. Is it set to Channel/NUMA mode?
Since I started programming, I have always used MySQL because honestly I think it is the best DB I have used because it has great software support and usability.

I have tried Postgres and while I have no issues with it, I usually go with MySQL if I have a choice because I see no real reason to switch out something I know and like.

Is there any real reason for a person like me to use postgres or another alternative instead of MySQL?
MySQL is prone to /more/ corruption, not less.

It's gotten better in recent versions, but implicit type conversion and truncation of data is a common "feature" of MySQL.

0000-00-00 isn't a valid date; but in MySQL it is a "null" data on a column with a NOT NULL constraint.

PostgreSQL is more anal about what you put into it, if you try to insert into a row with no value for a NOT NULL constrained column it will fail the transaction.

Once data is in the system mysql will tend to favour binary replicated statement level queries; where postgresql's built-in replication is block level.

This means that if you delete a row on a mysql replica the replication will continue and you will only notice that you're out of sync when you try to alter the (now missing) row from the master; then replication will fail.. It's impossible to even modify data on a postgresql replica.

My understanding is that mysql will also truncate data in a column if the column is altered to where a value would no longer fit (IE; from varchar(20) to varchar(8)) where postgresql will fail and abort the transaction.

(This is my experience from using PGSQL and MySQL with varying degrees of scale for 15 years).

PostgreSQL has/had problems to be sure, the auto vacuum was an issue on the 8.0->8.2 line; and they're slow to adopt features (like baked-in replication and upsert) but I treat this as a feature itself; better to have a working feature that is cleanly engineered than a feature which is half-baked.
Ranking of Economies – Doing Business – World Bank Group
Precisely, at work we use Python and C++, but I wanted to learn a new language in my own time for fun :)

I also tried to highlight its weaknesses in the Caveats section. The language is young and often has breaking changes which would not be suitable for production at this time, particularly in larger organisations.

However, I think the language shows great promise and will appeal to a lot of people as it matures. I'm certainly enjoying it so far! :)
> In the UK some people are taxed at >100% on income

Do you have any examples please?
I understand your point, but I believe in this case it doesn't apply necessarily because Sweden/Europe are only concerned with privacy related data.

Mullvad gets around this by not storing customer information. As others have pointed out, your "account" is just a long number. You top it up any way you want (including sending cash in an envelope if you are truly paranoid).

So I do believe that it stands a better chance of being fully anonymous & private than a US counterpart.
> But PCG is not

With only 3 outputs you can compute the internal state. MT needs something like 36 if memory serves.

Perhaps the misunderstanding is due to the way it's written. I was wondering as well: "huh, why do you need to enter the internal state as well as three inputs, no shit that you can predict the next output or something..." but what he really writes is that you enter an internal state, then it uses CFG to generate three outputs, and from those three outputs alone, it derives the internal state again.

That's cute. I personally would be more worried about quadrocopter drones strapped with grenades that use face recognition to act autonomously, possibly without GPS to prevent jamming attacks.
It's like people throwing bricks at cars on the highway. It's going to happen so we build fences to keep the cars safe but no one pours buckets of nails through the fences.

It's a cat and mouse game, but the cat isn't interested. The attackers are people trying to fool cars in YouTube videos.

Sophisticated methods of hacking a vehicle electronicly do exist, they are used today to steal cars.
Create outstanding dashboards with the new semantic.dashboard package
Really? I've been thinking of getting a TR for some NUMA coding experience, and if Windows can't see that then it really sucks.
I would not consider that a construction purpose. That’s purely aesthetic. Decent plaster will far outlast wallpaper anyway.

The paper in modern gypsum board is not there to prevent “cracks”, either. Without the paper, gypsum board has essentially no strength and couldn’t even be hung. The paper replaces the “brown coat” of traditional plaster by adding fiber for strength.
So, this is just an advertisement?
The negative consequences will never affect most people, just those that have bad luck or have upset someone in power. Kinda like how only some journalists commit suicide by shooting themselves 5 times in the head in Russia.

It's impossible for us to know what's happening, baring various leaks. Given the last decade my gut feeling is that if it's not happening, someone's at least thinking about how to implement it.

Re LinkedIn: I didn't mean good old social network stalking. There's nothing stopping LinkedIn from offering this as a sevice to companies. They already allow recruiters and paying members more privileges.
"Get a bigger jaw" doesn't seem feasible, and would probably not be very appealing (for aesthetic reasons) anyway. "Get a smaller tongue" isn't much better. It does seem like there might be some kind of retainer that could work. The fact that there isn't already someone making billions from that idea suggests that no alternative has been found that's both effective and convenient. Anything that could keep the tongue from sliding back is also likely to trigger a gag reflex. Or maybe there is a solution in that area, but nobody has quite hit it yet.
I really doubt genetics has anything to do with the lack of popularity of football and basketball in the vast majority of the world. The actual probable reason is equipment. If you’re playing a tackle sport why would you choose a complicated one such as football over rugby? And basketball requires the installation of a net, a good flat surface and a high quality ball that bounces well off the ground. Soccer on the other hand can be played with basically anything.
Love the totally genuine comment there from "Diamond Girl" too...

Sure it does. If hosting on SourceForge is predictive of abandoned software, avoiding SourceForge is a useful heuristic.

I get that this is probably not a story you want to hear about your product but it’s true.
Now I understand. I use other tricks to do the same thing, so I didn't see it before, thanks.

Yea, I have a similar project, I've heard this so many times...
Volkswagen Chooses IOTA for Software Updates
Recompiling the kernel used to be something you just did for some things.

If you can drive the command line and a makefile you should be able to tinker, and render it unable to boot. :)
It is ok to post your stuff here, but this looks more like and add disguised as a question, so it will be treated with suspicion by many users and perhaps flagged.

I suggest waiting until tomorrow (to avoid submitting too much) and posting this as a link to zigzag or to a blog post that explains the testnet/mainnet timeline and use.

And then add a comment with a copy or the current post, something like:

> Main developer/owner/whatever of zigzag here.

> Would love to know what crypto people here in HN think to current exchanges [...]

And hope that you get some comments and suggestions.
I worked for a home improvement retailer for a long time, around 2008 they stopped building 120k sq ft stores and moved down to 80k sq ft, Then staff was cut (2010), a few years later (2012) more staff was cut, now they are talking about replacing some staff members with self help robots that have video conferencing to help customers(2014). These traditional retailers are trying hard to stay in the game but i just don't think they can compete and Toys 'R' Us is just another name on the long list of the dead.
I was more trying to make the op think about the fact that their language might not be the universal one, and to think about how it might feel to be forced to learn some other culture's language, than to make a statement about mandarin Chinese specifically. It just seemed like a tone deaf statement to casually suggest that perhaps everyone else in the world could be forced to abandon their mother tongue.
Being in a new city I tried various things. First I went to lots of meetups via meetup.com - but in most groups you seldom meet the same people twice.
Much better was to join a club - like Toastmasters (https://www.toastmasters.org/find-a-club), or a local chess club. Made a couple of good friends that way.
I could run the business just fine without Google Analytics. Would just be in the dark a bit more.

I'm not associated with EU so I haven't pondered on this as much as others. My first thought is that this should really be up to the browsers and their users on what info Analytics software is able to work out just from the user being on the page.

Users should just assume that every business will absorb all available information. At least then we wouldn't see those ridiculous cookie notices everywhere.

As a web developer, I'm kinda surprised 3rd party cookies ever became a thing in the first place.
Go watch the youtube video of another Tesla owner testing the intersection where this accident occurred. The lane markers on the left side vanish but there is a divider marker setup. It's super clear the Tesla followed the divider marker thinking it was a lane and hit the jersey barrier.

Also of note the impact attenuator was completely missing due to bad highway maintenance. If the tesla had struck an engineered set of barrels instead of side striking a jersey barrier the driver would have walked away.
>For sound you should really consider the awesome SAA1099 chip.

Yea !! As far as I know only the SAM Coupé used it, and nobody really pushed it on that platform.
The Intel Core i7-8086K Review
I have to wonder, about the different levels of reported contact, how much is actual VCs over estimating how much they contact they have with companies, and how much is that the VCs who actually responded to the survey were possibly atypical, like the ones who contact the companies less frequently are also less likely to fill out a survey
I want to just iterate that it's been far easier to treat this than I imagined in the first place. I've been struggling with getting this kind of help for a few years, knowing that I cannot fully concentrate - and doing far too much online research instead of just moving my ass ( which is a common issue ).

The Psychiatrist at first thought it was due to a "lack of discipline" until I explained to him that I locked myself in for 2-3 months to work on my own projects, just to clean up the whole house and do everything else, instead of the projects I wanted/needed to work on.

The only thing you need to research is which medicine you can be prescribed, as some of them are not allowed in Japan. But enough foreigners went through this process, so there should be a fair amount of online literature to guide you through this https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/comments/3s86ur/psa_getti...

Of course this is only in case you feel like you have these symptoms, and that they've led you to where you are now. It's a common occurrence with entrepreneurs.
