Not necessarily: My point is as long as the handover can happen in a "safe" way and they are sure they haven't left any prints, dna or other traces, why should they care?
Well yes they do. My English is pretty decent, but I think most people would have problems having technical discussions about their health in English. Imagine a 70 year old with dementia in a nursing home. Miscommunication in healthcare costs lives.
Just because there are no class action lawsuits doesn't mean you can't take collective legal action. It's been a long time since I lived in Germany, so I can't cite any recent examples, but 20 years ago there were lawsuits in Germany of broad groups.
For most matters, trust is less of an issue but for finances and banking details, it’s an incredibly important aspect of doing business.

I work in analytics/data science at a bank. We’ve been doing lots of great research on fintechs and entrepreneurs.

Re: fintech - Trust comes up a lot so anything you can do (i.e. partnerships, social proof, etc) would go some way. Customers use us as their main account but regularly funnel money to startup banks. However, they’ve mentioned they would never really put large amounts of money with startup banks and are happy to continue with their current setup.
Finally! Such a basic feature, which took so long to add!

The goal will be to take benefits of the elixir/OTP platform and the concurrency assets.
Today we have a lot of asynchronous/background task distributed with rabbitMQ. If our investment provide better stack and simplify the architecture , this could be a better ROI than keep the current stack up-to-date.
Right.

Groceries online make me very happy. I'm a convert. Carts queues and parking are anachronisms.

There won't be wide adoption until the customer gets a perfect order with no substitutions or blemishes every time. The psychology of perceived loss at not getting EXACTLY what was ordered is too great. Until then millions of disappointed people will discourage others.

I agree 100%. Where I live they "restructured" the bus routes, which was a different word for "we're trying to save money". The result was that we went from 4 buses every hour, to 2 during the day and from 2 to 1 in the evening. I used to take the bus when I had to go to the city, but the waiting times have more than doubled and I'll just take the car instead. It's more expensive, but there is always parking and it's significantly faster now. I vastly prefer to take the bus, so I don't have to worry much if I grab a beer or 2, but I'm not waiting hours to catch the bus.
People can get their throats slit in public, anywhere which is public. There is nothing to suggest that the Portland light rail is any more dangerous than walking the streets, and to be honest, as someone who uses the MAX almost exclusively, the implication is somewhat offensive.
This is just wrong.
100 gigabit ethernet switches are commonplace in the datacenters of companies like google, facebook, etc.

Facebook even open sourced their second generation 100 gigabit switch design years ago.

Combine this with the fact that LINPACK is not a benchmark that involves a lot of communication in the relative scheme of things. If any of them big players cared, they could probably destroy the top LINPACK numbers instantly.

There are HPC benchmarks that they would have a harder time with, just not LINPACK.
Not necessarily it has to be 5-20 people. it could be a team of 100-200 people too.

But "~100 developers" that you mentioned, can not be small or mid-tech companies, until half or more than half of the developers are useless.

100 developers in one company have potential to built the next billion dollar product and literally change the world.

As you can see, some one just mentioned, FB has 250 developers ( https://www.quora.com/How-many-software-engineers-work-at-Fa... ) and some people do have mentioned they have approx 700, 900, or ....

But, important factor is - they have only 25K employee (source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/273563/number-of-faceboo...) across world. There are more than 80+ office of Facebook world wide (source: https://www.facebook.com/careers/locations/), so even if you distribute employee evenly on all places - you will have approx 300 employees - each location.

My point is, if you were working in a company where 100 developers are creating product, than you were either at wrong place or judging the company wrong - one of them has to be true based on my research and opinion.

I do not want to offend any one with my post, I am just pointing the fact based on my research, please leave a reply, If my research above is wrong or misleading.
> The regulator interprets the gap.

Technically, it will be the courts who (ultimately) interpret the gap, and it's worked so far for other standards like 'beyond reasonable doubt'. Courts have a tendency to be less capricious than a regulator.

I'd even go so far as to argue that "reason" is one of those things where specific examples can illustrate, but no more. Especially with regards to technology -- what is reasonable today, can be unreasonable tomorrow (eg: SHA1).

In the meantime, I'm positive that as of right now, 99% of the interpretation is performed by the data processors, and in most cases to their own benefit.
I have the impression that issues with a software version not matching a previous version are not only not novel, but have been plentiful with any kind of software since the beginning of time. Microsoft is proverbial for Windows being under the constraint of maintaining past behavior however imperfect.

To wit, it's such a common thing that there is an xkcd for it:

P.S. I was momentarily repressing my first hand experience, but in a past job, there were many times I wanted to fix things and wasn't allowed to, because if the results changed, it would upset someone. The cardinal, CYA rule, was if we've been reporting something wrong for years, it better be consistent forever. Which is really painful if you care about correctness and compulsively investigate it.
Wow. That’s something beyond FUD…
I'd go to a consulting company that builds custom software for customers. In this way I'll see many different projects in different industries. But don't go to a company that sends you to work on site for a customer and bury you there. Stay in the main office.

After some years of that, consider switching sides and find a company that builds its own products, whatever they are.
It's the much superior way to do it though, in France all estimate say we would save a lot of money by doing this, but with such a strong phamaceutical lobby it just never happens. Same reason why somehow we have homeopathy being reimbursed as if it was a real medicine, Boiron is french !
There's nothing wrong with nationalism, or wanting to live on the same plot of land with people of your own race. The word nation is rooted in birth, stock, tribe, race.

And there's nothing inherently wrong with White nationalism either. Or Jewish nationalism. Or German nationalism. Or Japanese, Indian, or African nationalism. Each nation has spilled much blood for its territory, and each race has a right to defend its existence and secure a future for its children.

Alas, the experiment of multiculturalism in the U.S. and Europe has been a complete disaster. It has led to increasingly divided, low trust, and hateful societies. There were some good intentions behind multiculturalism, but there were also destructive intentions.

The multiculturalists, the globalists, the corporate elite, the international communists -- whatever you want to call them -- have very good reasons for wanting to destroy racial, national, cultural, familial identities. They want atomized individuals, rootless, without a history and without a real identity, because atomized individuals do not have strong enough bonds with a people to resist being subjugated and controlled.

Multiculturalism is a religion which preaches "diversity is our strength", but practices the destruction of diversity, of nationality, of race, of family.

Those at the top have an agenda to consolidate power over a homogenized people who are easy to rule. At the bottom are the "educated" postmodern zealots who believe everyone is equal, everything is relative, and nothing is real.

It's bullshit and now people know it, too.
That's what some bilingual kids do when they talk to each other. They switch between languages flawlessly and mid-sentence. Drives me nuts when I'm listening to them. Similar effect you get when you live abroad for a while, there's certain idioms you can easily express in another language/culture but you won't find the words in your native language.

I've seen the same in Berlin and I think they are great. The difference might be that most streets already have a fair amount of bikes, so the dockless bikes are nothing out of the norm.
Because I'm not naive. The purpose of business is to manipulate and monetize me. Wring every cent from me that they can. I don't mind, this is called capitalism. But I don't want to be a powerless victim. I have my own interests after all.
Pretty sure that’s an economies of scale issue. If the demand for modular was as large as the demand for complete synths, they’d be dirt cheap - but they are essential different products. Though we’ll see how that plays out if behringer ever makes good on their threat to get into modular...

It's not a loophole. Just a fun corner case to think about.
There is a EU law(such GDRP) that all member states must transpose into their state legislation. A citizen of a "foreign" member state enjoys the same rights as the "local" citizen.

The point if EU is/was to achieve an "ever closer union" so that war between European states would never happen again. It's not just an economic bloc.

Btw the immigration is the main issue which has nothing to do with trading.

I mean population etc..

Yes, Scandi economies are growing, much like Wyoming in terms of GDP.

But NYC and SF/Valley etc. are expanding in bodies and industries and by virtue of that, 'adding more jobs', and 'integrating many newcomers' from places like Wyoming.

I admit Spain/Wyoming is not a hugely good example other than to say people are more likely to egress in search of good jobs than ingress.

It's pretty decent and more companies are moving here now. I mean occasionally you see ridiculously low salaries but I used to see that in London too.

I think the education system could be improved to help more people learn English and encourage people into fields that offer better prospects - but the latter seems to be a problem in almost all countries.
Good point. Lost of performance in the query is acceptable a as we gain support of MySQL & Postgresql. Lost of performance in JSON serialisation is more difficult to accept.
My coalescing point is that I see Facebook pulling back out of the news space as choosing to not play the game at all, that it is not a battle that they necessarily want to play because of the moral quagmire I outlined above. I don't think that this is a good choice because it doesn't engage with useful questions but just kicks the can down the road for another company, maybe even another generation, to deal with.

Thank you for bringing up how confusing my point was, really appreciate it. :)
Constants in dynamic languages
Javascript's constants are not const
Ruby's constants are not const
Python needs no "setter function" to achieve something close to constants.
Lua needs tables + metatables to achieve it
Only PHP seems to get it right
Wondering if there is a reason that dynamic languages are struggling on having a mechanism for "real" constants.

Anyone knows if there are deeper reasons or it is just how these languages were designed?

> My preference would be that personal data not be leaked at all

Me too! But not at any cost. This discussion involves thinking about scope (both in who and what is regulated), penalties (both in frequency and magnitude) and pre-emptive enforcement, if any. The trade-offs are far-reaching. A conservative approach is prudent. (It's also politically resilient.)

> GDPR is quite broad and open to interpretation by both sides

That's a sin and a virtue.

> Requiring people to lawyer up to make the company responsible is far weaker

This, too, is a sin and a virtue. The sin is it may allow bad deeds to go unpunished. But presently, everything is going unpunished. The virtue is in its prudence. It's unlikely to cause systemic harm, and we can observe its case law to more-precisely draft the next wave of rules.
That sounds like a very useful skill to have. I’d love to learn, but like so many people I live in small apartment - so this kind of garage workshop stuff doesn’t work well for me. I do occasional small woodworking projects on my balcony, but it requires a lot of forethought and planning... e.g. mostly hand tools, and i can’t just buy an extra sheet of plywood in case I need it.
These are again the tangential issues. I think you as well as the person I was initially responding to are conflating this issue with the one of decreasing population. I agree with you - I do not see population decline as a problem in and of itself.

The problem is population dynamics. Those that are more well to do and most capable of producing productive offspring are not doing so. By contrast those least able to care for and produce productive offspring are multiplying. Imagine we start with a nation that's incredibly prosperous - there are 9 wealthy families and one poor family. But each generation the wealthy families only have 1.6 children on average - 80% of what's necessary to maintain their population. By contrast the poor family has an average of 3 children - 150% of what's necessary to maintain their population.

Generation 1: 9 wealthy, 1 poor

Generation 2: 7.2 wealthy, 1.5 poor

Generation 3: 5.76 wealthy, 2.25 poor

Generation 4: 4.6 wealthy, 3.38 poor

Generation 5: 3.68 wealthy, 5.06 poor

Generation 6: 2.94 wealthy, 7.59 poor

Of course as has been mentioned some of the poor will become wealthy and some of the wealthy will become poor, but all things being equal even in very socially balanced nations the parents' income is strongly correlated with the child's. People of no means reproducing beyond their ability to sustain themselves is not a new problem, and is something people have pondered for centuries. But what is new here is that people of means are no longer producing enough to even sustain their population. When you combine these effects together, it turns poverty into a sort of virus that spreads and expands rapidly. Our utopia where 90% of people are wealthy (somehow.. that doesn't even make sense if you consider the connotation of wealthy, but that's another topic) ended up being a nation that was heavily impoverished in just 6 generations.

I also think a somewhat interesting pattern to observe in those numbers is that there was a population decline during periods of prosperity, but as the nation became more impoverished its population began to rapidly grow. The generation where the poor greatly outnumber the wealthy being the first generation to have a greater total population than we started with at generation 1.

The whole point here is that all the work in the world against poverty means nothing if those that escape poverty do not reproduce, while those that remain within it do!
I think there are much better ways of solving this problem.

The author of the article has proved there's a market. If you think there's a better way then there's money on the table waiting for you to pick it up. Until you prove your ideas with execution, they'll remain conjecture.
great read, quite interesting and enjoyable. the love of animals for strong drinks
I think it has more to do with baseline product overhead. The cost of bringing a single electronic product to market is $50-100/unit + variable amount based on the scale. The solution to make the product cheaper is to offer monolithic functionality in a single unit, with the same baseline overhead. The same is true for assembled "monolithic" bed frames vs. modular aluminum beams, just with different numbers.

You are right that Summit is overbuilt if it was going to be used just for raw crypto mining hashpower. However, even so, it would be quite profitable... The last double spend attack on BTG stole ~$20M. There is no reason to think it couldn't steal $50M or so. Repeat the attack on a handful of other cryptocurrencies and you would quickly recoup the cost of Summit ($200M)...
