>>> I doubt any company would ignore that risk and produce a product that put people at a direct and unknown risk.

I'm sorry, but they have done and still do exactly that all the time in the name of profit! Often it takes decades for the public to learn the truth.

Here's a few examples:

- 3M knew already in 1970 that PFOA and PFOE (used in their non-stick frying pan coatings) was toxic and accumulated in peoples blood[1].
- Volkswagen emission scandal[2]
- Oil companies' continuous support of fake science, lobbying, advertisement and grant making to oppose regulation. Exxon knew about climate change 40 years ago[3].
- Leaded fuel..

And that's just the few I could think about at a moments notice..

Publishers do more than deliver music to the audience. They do market research, facilitate collaboration, fund production, and they promote the music.

Even if musicians can reach the audience directly, which they already could for some time now, they benefit a lot from a publisher that creates opportunities and handles business while they focus on making music. Too many good indie musicians are just a publisher away from success.

> Why do keyboards have hard-wired cables anyhow?

Low-speed USB devices are not permitted by the spec to have a detachable cable. The fancier keyboards are probably full- or high-speed, though, so that doesn't apply to them. As someone else said, mechanical strength may have something to do with it. Keyboards get shoved around a lot, and a connector would likely break off too easily.

As zimmerfrei said, it allows one webserver to connect to another (e.g. a load balancer, with a certificate, to connect to a backend webserver) and present that cert to the server it is connecting to.

Without the client EKU bit, a conforming TLS implementation would reject the connection.

>"My point is just that a free press, as commonly understood and as in the constitution,"

And your point is patently untrue. Freedom of the Press is not "commonly understood" in that incorrect way in the US.

Honestly it sounded like you yourself didn't understand the meaning of the phrase "Freedom of the Press." You even called it a "misnomer." Accusing people of "looking for a disagreement" simply because they corrected you seems kind of lame and uncalled for.

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da... is a good summary from the UK gov authority. It's not based on size, but it isn't applicable to most businesses anyway.

You need a DPO if:

* you are a public authority or body (except for courts acting in their judicial capacity)

* your core activities require large scale, regular and systematic monitoring of individuals (for example, online behaviour tracking)

* your core activities consist of large scale processing of special categories of data or data relating to criminal convictions and offences.

Imo, those are all pretty reasonable cases where you should have somebody responsible managing your data privacy. DPOs are for people managing very private data, or profiling people at very large scales. For most businesses, DPOs aren't relevant.

> district heating produced on power from the grid is taxed as if produced on coal, as the power has no traceability.

Sounds like there is room for improvement. E.g. an agreement with an energy provider and tracking when it was used on demand as a sink for excess energy instead of base-rate heating.
Twitter forces me to do a monthly dance of "I don't like this" clicking on stuff like that or the "XXX liked this tweet" crap to remove them, instead of providing a simple on/off setting and sticking to it.
No, I think the reality would be that you'd have never allowed that client to run up $14k. You'd have had a payment plan in place so that at each milestone you'd get paid. If they stop paying, you would down tools.

1) Vastly more people enroll in college now, per capita. It used to be a powerful signal, since only the most intelligent and driven people would go. Now it is just the minimum you need.

2) Cost of college has skyrocketed, and public funding for colleges has plummetted.

How is this possible? Suspect the answer would be way over my head!
> It seems to me like they are the very websites for which this exemption was intended.

That doesn't help much when every US arm-chair lawyer (like the techies here on HN) spends all their time causing paranoia and telling everyone how even access logs are illegal now under GDPR, and how they will be brought into bankruptcy by the EU.

Ofcourse the business-people are going to panic when all they hear are their techies are telling them that EU is going to shut them down.

Whatever crappy legal regime these US techies will be stuck with in the future, one thing is certain: they brought it onto themselves.
Plugin systems and distributing dynamic libraries are the two big use-cases.

For the second use-case, distributions can handle that somewhat okay by simply enforcing that all packages are compiled with the same rustc version. That works okay, but it means that, as an external user, you can't really depend on those libraries for your own executables, as you'll need to recompile when the distribution updates.

Every society is based on shame and status. Legal systems are based on codified rule of law, social systems are based on culture, and all cultures use shame to varying degrees to control behavior ie slut shaming, jobs loss, deviant behavior, low status jobs.

This forum itself never fails to remind MacDonald and Wallmart workers of their status. Status has always been a central facet of every society. Even a cursory scratch beneath the surface will reveal the rigid class consciousness and status hierarchies in every society.

Yes, #1 "is different" than the OP. It would only be equivalent if women were allowed more time than men to complete the exam.*

#2 is a completely misleading headline. It ... never happened. An article in which the 2nd paragraph contradicts the headline isn't written in good faith.

[*] I would also argue that extending exams so that each student has a reasonable amount of time to finish is not a bad practice. A student that gives a correct answer in the extra 15 minutes is no less knowledgeable than a student that gives the correct answer in the original allocated time. We are selecting for breadth and depth of knowledge, not speed of recitation or ability to perform under pressure. In a CS exam, you either know the answer or you do not. Extra time is not going to allow you to falsify your level of knowledge. It will, however, give slower workers the ability to fully complete the exam.

Students that work quickly but are less knowledgeable than their peers are the only ones that would be penalized by this change. Those students have inflated scores relative to their knowledge, therefore this penalization should be encouraged. In an untimed test, the most knowledgeable student will always get the highest test score, therefore knowledgeable students should not be opposed to increasing test times, they should encourage them.
When I hear startups declare that they are data-driven I get the image of a person driving a car by focusing stritcly on the dashboard.
Of course. There is no such thing as laissez-faire governance. All major economies have a close government-corporate structure because every major economy modeled themselves after the most successful economy in the world - the US economy.

We tell ourselves that there is a separation of government and private enterprise, but that hasn't been the case since day 1 when george washington's first move was to use tariffs to protect US companies. When our military was used to exterminate the natives to clear the way for railroads. When the US government annexed territory from texas to hawaii for corporate interests. Or when our government toppled latin american regimes so that our corporations could gain access to new markets.

Just like now all modern cities look like american cities ( skyscrapers ) and they have all same companies, all major economies ( especially the asian economies ) modeled themselves after 19th century US economy. China pretty much copied our playbook.
So? And you think tech companies lobby for nobler reasons than others? Not the case.

Same with the motorbikes, OK till you try to turn a corner. But that's kind-of unfair, since on long straight US roads that's not really a disadvantage.
> I don't think it's an odd concept to strive for robots to do the drudgery while freeing humans to live their lives how they wish.

It's not odd, but it is naive, given that the purpose of automation isn't to eliminate drudgery and free humans to greater personal fulfillment and freedom, it's to capture the value of labor while eliminating human employment.

The need for those humans "freed" by robots to work will remain constant, but the work available and the value of their labor will only ever decrease over time.

While it would be nice to strive for the idealistic scenario you describe, the truth is no one with the power to make it a reality is actually striving for it. Certainly not governments or the corporations implementing the transition from human to automated labor en masse.

My writing teacher called it "verbal diarrhea".

Journalism students spend so much of their time doing pointless writing exercises, they feel like they should continue with it, as if their reputation depends on it.

In the modern world the opposite is true - attention spans are short, you must get to the point.

A similar thing is true in video - I can't stand vloggers who dance around or have to explain the whole history of the subject before getting to the point.

I blame Google - they incentivise long articles with lots of keywords and longer videos.
I'm not disputing the stats you linked, and i agree prison is no where close to a good solution. My follow up comment was regarding:

"I'm confident she did drugs in prison"

where you disputed this single data point. I did not mean it was representative of the majority.

Prison was mainly only good for the lives she was destroying in her downward spiral.

Languages, yes. There are plenty of pre-made decks for learning the basics of pretty much all the major languages. Beyond that it's a mixed bag. There are usually decks for things like verbs and common nouns. Getting comprehension practice (e.g. grammar) is harder because that only comes with ingesting lots of material from different places (otherwise you tend to 'overfit' and rote learn the flashcards).

Making your own cards is more effective than using someone else's deck, simply because it's tailored to you. For anything other than a language, unless it's pop trivia, you should try to make your own cards. You typically have to work methodically through the thing you're trying to learn, which can help a lot. If you go with a pre-made deck then you're relying on what someone else thinks you ought to know.
Go and Nim are as different as it gets in programming language design. Nim is kitchen-sink type language, while Go builds on a small set of well-defined features. It's the difference between Scheme and Common Lisp, or JavaScript and Python - the look&feel of programming in Nim is unlike Go in almost all respects, aside from perhaps quick compilation.
Yeah that's a good point. Nassim Taleb elaborates on a similar one here: https://medium.com/incerto/surgeons-should-notlook-like-surg...

Although technically that's a different effect. Affirmative action is, AFAIK, meant to counter negative bias before (i.e. positive discrimination at university entry is meant to counter worse education and poverty at a primary- and high-school level), whereas you're talking about overcoming biases after graduation ("old boys network" etc).

This is horrible. Instead of bail, they should just have steeper fines for failure to appear and yet on the flipside the same guarantees afforded to jury duty as far as employment (i.e. can't be fired for having to appear in court). That would allow poorer people to keep their jobs and still be present for court dates. Flight risk is really not as high as the system is designed for.

There are other, possibly better options if you want Topre switches - the Leopold FC660M, the HHKB Professional and the Cooler Master Novatouch. The latter has the advantage of using Cherry MX compatible stems, if you ever want to change the keycaps.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that even tenkeyless keyboards are too wide for most right-handed users - unless you're very broad-shouldered, you'll either have to skew the keyboard to the left or use your mouse too far to the right. 60% and 68% keyboards offer real ergonomic benefits, by simple merit of being narrower.

If one person gets their life savings cleared out for a $100 speeding fine, how do you equate that financial pain to Bill Gates? Why should Bill Gates be punished more in the same situation for having put the work in to build a successful company?

You end up with silly (IMHO) situations like someone getting a $290k fine in Switzerland for 85mph in a 50 zone.

6 months in jail for someone who can't afford a $1k bail is the other end of the scale though - surely it cost substantially more than that to keep him in there. I'm pretty certain in the UK we have charities that help people out in such situations, is there no equivalent provision in the US?

I would expect this is due to the fact that each ammonia molecule contains three hydrogen atoms, whereas a hydrogen molecule contains only two. So liquid ammonia would be expected to contain more hydrogen per volume than liquid hydrogen.

The underlying assumption of course is that everybody needs to be working in some kind of drudgery to justify their own existence.

We really need a mental paradigm shift here. If a robot can now do a job that used to require 2 million workers, why should that not result in 2 million people being freed to enjoy this increased leisure rather than having to desperately find new "jobs" or otherwise face destitution. What are we working towards again, GDP growth?

Regarding the article, to be completely blunt: no sh*t. Software engineering in the U.S. is already very saturated, just less so than every other field (eg. marketing, finance, law) so nobody frames it as such. One of my ex-coworkers just went through 6 technical interviews and a coding project only to have his offer rescinded by an HR lady at the parent company due to a minor mistake on his original resume (against the will of everyone who actually interviewed him). Coding bootcamp placement rates right now are awful.

Do people really think the 2 million truck drivers can just become software engineers (without some kind of massive government-sponsored jobs program akin to a "New Deal")? Taking a step back, why is that even something we should socially desire? Do society really need more Javascript monkeys?
They only claimed they were DDoS'd, it's the media that used the word "hacked". Maybe we can agree that they might not have been able to tell the difference between bot comments and DDoS, or did not want to acknowledge that difference.
Gliders can be dropped off balloons or airplanes. Their advantage is they are simple and cheap.
Exams are testing the ability to work under pressure. Giving students 15 minutes extra only changes the degree of pressure. The previous time given isn't a "neutral" point. How much of an advantage in terms of exam results _should_ people who can work under high pressure have?

The pressures STEM employees face at work are usually very different from exam pressure, so I would lean towards "very little" as the answer to that question.
All you people saying all governments favour local companies are, in my opinion, completely delusional.

Counter-evidence one: Google is #1 in Europe. That's sufficient to squash your point.

But also: You seem to have no idea what China is like. Foreign companies will get government-supported mobs to break into your office and trash the place, during daylight hours for hours, and the police will refuse to show up.

The best you can do is call the police and say "this mob slamming at the doors make me fear for my life. If you don't get me out of here I'll call my embassy and say there's a hostage situation". Suddenly the… no the police doesn't show up… the police tell you that the mob will disappear soon, and you have 5 minutes to leave before they come back.
Maybe it's just me who after years at uni is sick of viewing everything from this impoverished academic point of view but I think these statements are not helpful at all. People worship advice/knowledge these days and totally forget about the doing.

The statement does not deny that actually doing stuff is important - "work steadily". However, these are just empty words to someone who tries to become a genius by hitting the books first.

My advice (yes, I do see the irony here) in this age would be to postpone seeking advice or reading about a topic as long as possible. As a result, your common sense sharpens and you may even come up with fresh, creative ideas that others perhaps didn't have.
