Right To Be Forgotten isn't a censorship move, it's toward personal and individual freedom, not corporate or government secrecy. However, you probably aren't too far from the truth that it is because of European laws.

Antitrust and privacy laws in Europe is going to make a lot of their business less profitable there. Which would lead to new efforts to make up that profit elsewhere. China's essentially an untapped market for Google, so its not a shock for the drive for money to eventually bring them back there.
The only thing I don;t like about current WireGuard is that the single config file contains both the private key in clear, and all the public keys.

IMHO the private keys should be in a separate file.

Although it's not empirical, I think there's a pretty big consensus that not having to bottom out on the keystroke is a pretty big benefit in terms of comfort.

The whole point is to change that trend.
Could be in many cases.

But the question of "where should I send _my_ kids" should be considered separately from "how should education in this country as a whole be structured."

You have to distinguish between the macro and micro. Another example is college. If my nephew asked me whether he should go to college, I'd say, definitely do that, if you can afford it. But on a macro level, college in the US has kind of become scam and we have to do something about it.
> Fair point, although it’s hard to see what value the smart contract is really adding in this case.

In the 99% case, it allows us to transact whilst protected by contracts which pay out later as you mentioned.

> I’m not sure that there’s any (boilerplate) part of a standard employee agreement that could be evaluated on-chain.

"Employee was paid on time and in full" comes to mind.

> Anyway, doesn’t this mean we need to lock up enough funds to cover all eventualities ahead of time, for all contingencies of the contract? It seems like that could be millions of dollars. What if I lose my arm in a bandsaw and the company was directly responsible?

An interesting one. Presumably one would not sign a smart employment contract that was not tied to some kind of insurance token which covered employee claims?

As an individual, you are powerless to control population growth. If you decide not to have kids, the world will get filled with the descendants of other people. The descendants of those other people will probably care less about what happens to the environment than your descendants would.

Dealing with the issues of the future will require collective action. In order for that collective action to take place, people will need to vote for it. Having kids means more people to vote for the things you think need to be voted for (since they will share your genetics and you will heavily influence their environment).

So you should have kids.
What I Learned as a Data Science Intern at Wovenware
> even on the blockchain it's not hard to make a contract amendable with unanimous consent.

Unanimous consent is nice when it happens, but we typically want the ability to make amendments without unanimous consent, too.

Concrete examples: I wouldn't want to use an electronic payment card that doesn't have some sort of chargeback mechanism. My mutual funds want the exchanges they operate on to have some mechanism for busting erroneous trades, and I'm glad that they do. When I check in at a hotel, they want a credit card on file, so that they can charge me if I steal the towels.

All of these mechanisms involve retroactively altering the financial terms of a contract in a way that causes one person to lose some money without their consent. For the most part, people agree that this is just and desirable, because they also value fairness.

That said, I agree on the point at hand -- I don't think that the example from the story is particularly relevant here.

Leverage.

You don't throw your foe to the ground with brute force alone. You take him off-balance, and move in with good timing and technique.

If your goal is solving climate change, well, the leverage isn't really in the technical solution, but in the political economy. We need a redesign. That's problem one.

But if it's the power structure that needs changing, what affects it? Knowledge. Signalling. Valuation. And then you get into things that you can potentially change as a tech worker, by pushing for information systems that change our valuation metrics to match a philosophy of sustainability. And that positions actors who wish to take sustainable actions to have the leverage to realize it.

That, I think, is the trick to feeling OK about it. At the end of the day, it's a war fought in an abstract, everyday sense: Build up your sense of morality and build your career around those principles. You might not be the hero, but you won't be the villain.
>very interesting. can you provide me with some sources to learn more?

There was a minor intern in Russian presidential administration. Nicknamed "rLode" in the Internets. I happened to knew him as I attended language courses ran by high school he was attending.

He held his home page there "http://rlode.narod.ru/main.html" a man of unconcealed, borderline rabid views on social class. If you ever unearth an archived version of the page, I guarantee you will have some fun time reading it. If you dig further, finding his offline contacts are not hard.

Second was a Far Eastern strongman nicknamed "Twix" or "Nuts," man running arms trade in the Far East. How he came upon the info, I didn't know. Just assume that being a "big man" in Russia involves having lots of ears. I think you still can find him making appearances online on Russian .onion arms sales sites under different Japanese cartoons themed pseudonyms.

As for people of Google's side, ask any man relocated from Moscow to Zurich. Few people I knew there voiced their extreme surprise with their relocation coming unannounced, and being done with near military level of coordination. Officials were an everyday sight in their office on Balchug street. Just the fact that their office was on an island just a river across from Kremlin tells a lot. Nobody pays a ennormous premium to have office in this special place without having "being close to Kremlin" factor in mind.

On Wang, I once read the very few English translation of 半月谈 with some excerpts from his works. I never read the complete book. But the general theme is him telling party members to not to fear the USA as it is a frustrated, insecure, diseased society - something that has not to be feared, but taken advantage of. His main discontent with USA is it spreading that "plague" around the world. Following, it is CCPs role as "a global messiah" (oh my....) to rectify that, showing world "a different vision of a successful state system."
OpenVPN is quite configurable, not as much as IPsec, but still a lot, and (from what I hear) has quite a bit of code bloat. I believe that userspace WireGuard has better performance than OpenVPN.

> Same thing might be happening in these mediations. By adding a bigger "enemy", the two parties probably quickly back down from trying to defend against to enemies and compromise with each other.

I don't think that's sad at all. In fact, it's brilliant that function is built in to us.

When aliens attack, do you really want the world powers to be wasting time with their chess game they've been playing since WWII? If aliens did attack, 99% of that nonsense would be put on hold overnight. Yeah, you'll probably still get some small groups who aren't going to play by those rules, but on the grand scheme of things, the human race still manages to make the whole group a priority even if it's out of convenience.

However, I don't think your assessment that the mediator is made an enemy is correct. In fact, it's the exact opposite. If the mediator was an enemy, the path of least resistance is to ignore the mediator and for both negotiators to continue to rationalize and cement their positions. But if the mediator isn't an enemy, but simply a disappointed helper, it would follow that the negotiators are more likely to resolve their differences in order to correct the group imbalance, which is a natural tendency.

If one could bet money & not just time/effort/knowledge on tech stacks, Microsoft's would be a great discount right now.

They've been employing large amounts of very well known devs to become dev advocates in every popular language/field out there.

Visual Studio Code has overtaken Sublime & Atom as the most popular text editor in just about any demo I see in most front side web development.

MS is now friends & compatible with many of the other cool tools out there. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Linux, etc. A lot of demos I see use .NET with PostgreSQL on Linux.

If you've never used Visual Studio's Full IDE or Azure or the .NET framework, you're missing out on some huge productivity gains. I use JavaScript more than .NET. I'm better at JS than .NET by far. I really dig hosts like Netlify. That said, if I need to spin up a MVP for a project, it's faster, better quality & easier with VS, Azure & .NET for me at least. Startups really underestimate this one I think.

From what I've heard, it's also a great platform with Xamarin for mobile, with Unity for Games, etc. Add on the experimental work going on with compiling to Web Assembly & the .NET framework has a great chance to be running anywhere & everywhere.

Well, anything that relies on goods/services in the real world is going to be difficult by virtue of the fact that nodes aren't able to determine whether a good/service was really delivered. You could, however, get a rudimentary employment contract by keeping payments in an escrow account until the end of the month (or your employment is terminated early). This would prevent wage theft by the employer while also allowing an employee not to get paid for not doing their job, though it couldn't handle more complex clauses like penalizing violation of an NDA.

However, there are plenty of cases where the employment contract can consist of creating a digital object that solves a problem in NP (for instance, code that passes a randomized test suite), in which case the employment contract can exist completely on the blockchain.
I know that typically with gift cards the dollars fall into a "deferred revenue" account until they are actually realized as a sale against a product/service tied to an income account. You can say "We have X amount in deferred revenue" but can't actually show it as recognized until certain things happen (VSOE rules for software, etc). In the case of Starbucks I think it would be similar, though I'm not sure if using their app for payment qualifies as a "gift card" in the same sense or not.

I believe there are also different laws in different states and jurisdictions related to "breakage", e.g. some states don't allow gift cards to expire whereas others do, so in the latter you can forecast breakage upon set dates whereas in the former it's a lot harder to do because you basically "owe" a product or service indefinitely.

An example of a contract in which it is useful have wiggle room is hiring a company to build a website for you. The best process for building a website necessarily includes discovery and continuous decision-making about what to build, so a long and prescriptive contract that spells out every product feature on day one will most likely result in a crappy final product and/or a ton of change orders and amendments.

Yes, it's possible to change contract language when the parties mutually agree. But in a company with any sort of process around contracts, it will be a pain in the ass to make lots of changes.

Problem I see is not climate change really. Real problem is not that we have problems, but the fact that we create problems. Unless human society transform into a more reactive structure, we will generate new problems or stand short in reacting naturally generated ones.

And one of those problems will see the end of us if not climate change. It is much like playing Russian roulette in the risk of extinction. We just may avert the climate change but some next problem will be our bullet.

The second row of the main page states this: "The first concern of toy is to bring the thinnest and simplest stack of technology for making games directly from C++, instead of focusing on a monolithic editor, or insulating the user from the core systems."

What I tried to say is that this recent trend of “no platforming” people and even earlier the idea that debating anyone somehow validates their opinion is forcing people with controversial opinions into this “screaming” position.

More to your point: people with minority views cannot “allow” for any discussion to happen. The fact that we’re not discussing their issues and rather try to make them go away is the fault of the majority.

WE make the rules and it seems everyone is more interested in labeling people than hearing what they have to say.

It's tricky when a preponderance of evidence and theory tells us that the lag time on the signal is several decades but human generations are also measured in decades. It doesn't matter how strong your negative feedback is if the system it's controlling is in thermal runaway by the time you apply a corrective signal.

Maybe we can bandaid or mitigate the worst effects for some people. Probably richer people. But just see Harvey and wildfires and droughts for strong evidence that we will not do anything whatsoever even when cities are being destroyed by inaction.
"The general model for successful tech companies, contrary to myth and legend, is that they become distribution-centric rather than product-centric.

Visa actually does that from time to time, though not to the degree you suggest :).

Here is one example from Australia, where 15 years ago I worked on credit card pricing and product design...

When Platinum cards were introduced to Australia, the banks agreed to a high interchange rate for Platinum and an offsetting reduction in interchange on other cards. I forget the exact interchange rates; they were on the order of 150bp (1.5%) and 50bp, giving a weighted average around the then regulatory cap of 65bp.

My bank was ready for this, so we moved most of our high-spending customers to Platinum ("in recognition of their status") and reaped a windfall from the higher interchange. Part of that was used to fund more loyalty rewards on Platinum. But most was pure profit...

Over time, regulators got wise to this, and reduced the overall interchange rates to the minimum (possibly 35bp in Australia now). Essentially in Australia it is enough to covers the scheme running costs and disputes/fraud. Loyalty has to be funded in other ways (annual fees, cross-subsidies from other customer revenue, points caps, reduce value of points, making it harder for customers to redeem points, etc).

This means customers in shops are no longer paying the cost of loyalty schemes even if they pay with cash.

(Amex operates under slightly different rules from Visa and MasterCard because the legal relationship between the merchant, scheme, issuing and acquiring banks and customer is not the same. That is why Amex can often offer better rewards that Visa/MC in regulated markets like Australia, UK and Europe)
That wasn’t my point though, you still only use it as much as you need it.

> Why should there be a different standard for Google

Because Google "is not a conventional company" [1].

A tired trope on HN is that corporations cannot and should not be ethical entities. They are legally mandated to maximize shareholder value, and this usually requires taking actions that people find morally repugnant.

This is a myth and it is horseshit.

Google's mission is to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" [2]. Larry and Sergey knew that realizing its mission requires a long-term focus and a moral center that is unusual for modern corporations.

The public must trust Google to do the right thing even when it's not in Google's short-term interest.

Organic search results skewed by ad payments or censorship is antithetical to Google's mission.

Of course they could make huge short-term profits by compromising the quality and completeness of information, but they've wisely fought against this from the beginning.

This is a rational strategy to maximize the long-term value of the company, and it's worked incredibly well [3].

It would be a crying shame to stop now.
