that's exactly the keyboard I have. Solid product.
Writing is hard, which can make it seem daunting. The problem with this as with many skills is that you can only become a better writer by being a writer first.

It also doesn't help that the kind of writing that's usually taught or otherwise imparted at school or university for many use cases is needlessly complex and wordy but nevertheless often is considered the "only proper way of writing".

In many settings writing also doesn't provide an immediate noticeable benefit. Writing for example can help with:

- documentation and making decisions comprehensible and reproducible

- knowledge transfer

- improving the overall quality of a product

- marketing

- getting a better understanding of the problem yourself

With the exception of the last aspect these are all rather long-term benefits, which has to be taken into account when trying to find the motivation for writing.
I'd wish there was a Rust with Nim syntax, haha.
>"Today is the very first time in the world that hydrogen cars have been fuelled with a fuel derived from ammonia — carbon-free fuel."

To begin with, a lot of ammonia production is usually colocated with natural gas plants for a ready supply of hydrogen.
I think this would be an extremely interesting data set, but the obvious and simple analysis would not address the key problem that I see as mentioned in the article.

> On job placement, the biggest deception by prestigious colleges and universities is to claim credit for the brainpower and work habits that students already had when they arrived.

I see this all the time in my workplace. Many of my colleagues went to prestigious universities, but I am fairly certain that many of them would have gotten similar jobs even if they had not. There is evidence backing this up in that we gladly interview and hire candidates with similar pre-university experience who did not later go to prestigious universities.

It just so happens that prestigious universities admit students with such pre-university experience at fairly high rates.

My personal opinion is that the pre-university experience that I have in mind is a stronger and better signal than the university that they attend.
It's not in the EEA and your own wiki link shows that.

Switzerland is not under GDPR however, unfortunately many American sites assume EU = Europe. This is understandable because so many EU supporters insist on using the word "Europe" when what they actually mean is EU, in order to create this exact impression (and to confer on the EU the sense that it's as large and stable as a continent).
You're asking me to argue or prove a negative.

You might as well apply the same premise to US vs EU vs Chinese (vs any other country) freedom of speech laws.

It's the exact same jurisdiction premise on how rights are governed, whether we're talking about privacy or otherwise.

Just because I'm an American, that doesn't give me US freedom of speech protections when I step foot into EU countries or Brazil or China or North Korea. I'm bound by the local laws on most things, with few exceptions.

The asterisks in leshow's comment are being lost in the formatting, since HN uses them for italicization. So the last line, for example, is:

The rust book even refers to *const and *mut pointers as types.

nothing stops you from opening the keyboard, remove that socket (whihc and either resolder the cable or put a usb socket of your liking in. USB is no magic.

This is not a problem but a huge opportunity. Instead of shutting down capacity, they need to find ways to utilize it. There are plenty of things you can do with energy.

Water desalination, splitting water into h2 and o2, etc. all take lots of energy. California has a huge water shortage and apparently too much electricity.
I don’t believe the stakeholders listed in the article have sold for routine reasons, simply because the amounts of money they realized in the sale are tiny in an absolute sense, especially for Sony and WMG. They didn’t hold the stock to make a small absolute profit from it (whatever the return rate is, at a small total sale price like a few hundred million it’s irrelevant).

I think it only makes sense to materialize such a small profit right now if it’s based on highly negative outlook about Spotify’s valuation.
Ask HN: How would you solve climate change?
If you had access to all the capital and resources you needed, how would you solve climate change?

I think some sort of large scale geoengineering to achieve global carbon neutrality, maybe a genetically modified algae or cyanobacteria that would sequester a lot more CO2 than any current plant or bacteria.
It doesn't matter what the EU asserts. They do not have that jurisdiction, unless they're planning a military invasion of the US and plan to rob it of its sovereignty.

Just like the US does not have the ability to dictate to China what privacy laws look like in that country or how US citizen data is managed within that country (eg when I visit a Chinese site).

How could any this possibly be difficult to understand?

If South Dakota comes up with its own crazy privacy laws, that doesn't mean it gets to actually "assert" how EU sites must manage data for people from South Dakota. It doesn't matter how much South Dakota screams about it, that state has no power to dictate anything to the EU. You would only have to particularly worry about it, as an EU site, if you were eg hosting a server in South Dakota, or doing business there.

edit: replying to your comment below, because my replies are throttled

It is in fact how jurisdiction works today and yesterday and always. The exceptions require agreed upon, established laws between the parties that say otherwise, which you just admitted is the case by referencing FATCA as an example.
I'm still waiting for a "smoking gun" such as this to come out of hiring or admission practices for tech firms and STEM courses. In much of the Western world the majority of people starting their careers in medicine and law are women (this is the case in my own country), but these fields are not, as far as I can tell, any less prejudiced or discriminatory against women than fields which men have a large male majority. Even with actual systematic discrimination in place in Japan, the rate of female doctors (30% according to the article) is still higher than the percentage of women studying CS in the UK (19%, according to [0]).

Gateron, Kailh, etc. there are plenty producers of all kind of switches.
Anyone thinking they don't are incredibly naive. It won't help them in the Chinese market obviously.
> they have been quite good, two years+ out of each, but the USB hubs in all of them have been a bit hit-and-miss

That would be "pretty bad" even for a $10 keyboard.

Are you being serious? Ambulances cannot arrive before in house medics. There are many cases where someone could have been saved if cpr or bandaging started before the ambulance arrived. I don't know of any case where someone was so suicidal that they needed to talk to someone (and wanted to) immediately or else they would commit suicide.

Psychiatry and financial education is not an emergency service that is needed immediately. That would be like offering cancer treatment at the university. If someone has cancer and they need treatment they should go to the hospital.
This sounds really interesting, can you provide a link so I can read some more about it?

Just use Cython in that case.
Also cryptocurrency. People are complaining about the huge amounts of energy being wasted by it. But if prices are negative, and coming from green sources, then it's not an issue.

I'd also say that I've got a Ducky Shine 3 TKL with Cherry Browns as well as a cheaper generic TKL with Gateron Browns, and the latter are at least as good to me - always worth getting a switch tester, but you can shave a decent amount off by choosing non-Cherry clones.

I mean, in the U.K., if you’re interested in learning at your own pace, every university has at least some form of part-time course, local FE colleges do part time courses regularly, and there’s the Open University if you want to work towards a degree part-time. This is an American problem, not one to do with the concept of being able to prove you’ve completed an education.

I personally associate "made in the US" with technologically simple but robust.

I guess that's because my two points of reference are my CST LaserTRAC trackball and my Oster beard trimmer.
That's not how jurisdiction works these days.

Look at FATCA. A US law that every financial institution in Europe has to comply with whether they like it or not.

The EU knows it isn't going to invade the USA. Nonetheless, it has explicitly asserted many times that everyone, globally, is expected to comply, regardless of whether they have any EU corporate presence or not. Why do you think they would do that, if they aren't intending to find ways to make it enforceable? And there are certainly many tools available to do that with that aren't military in nature.
I work at a college and we are required by the federal government to report all kinds of numbers. I know grad rate is among them, and I am 99% sure it is broken down by major. Those reports are public.
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.

> In a heart beat I'd trade my 9-5 that pays over 6 figures to never have to work again.

> Ive already noticed that I could potentially retire in the next few years.

Great. You have a comfortable amount of savings and could probably continue to maintain a relatively decent quality of life without your job. Many others would love to take that 6 figure job off your back. In the end, you will be better off by being able to retire early and live a life of leisure, and the new worker will be better off because they now get to work a well-paying job that they want more than you.

Housing is most definitely not the cheapest in human history, have you seen San Francisco, NYC, London, or hell any major metropolitan city? The U.S. also saddles its citizens with student loan debt and absurdly expensive healthcare.

Sometimes it is clearly evident from the interview. Sometimes it becomes clear from the current size of a team (the math doesn't add up for some reason).
I think that if there are financial penalties - or similar in the case of bail - they have to be adjusted to means (don't get me wrong, this can be a challenge in itself). Otherwise you're basically saying that something is legal for the rich who could easily make the bail or the fine, but illegal for somebody poor who cannot make the fine which can have ever worse consequences. Why should that be?
Last I checked it was still legal to use Baidu in America, which can't be said for Google in China. Please tell me how you think they're comparable, because I guess I am one of those "incredibly naive" people.
That doesn’t apply to Queens boulevard that is being discuses in the Article.
I own two Corsair keyboards, the Strafe RGB(with Red Silent switches for office use) and a K68 with Red switches for home - they are both fantastic, and Corsair support has been nothing but stellar for me - the Strafe had a small issue with one of the keys, they have shipped a replacement straight away and only then I had to ship the old keyboard back. Well worth the money, and the software is very decent too.
Well again halfway houses were designed precisely as an experiment in rehabilitation. It helps resocialize the convicts, helps them get a job, get over an issues (such as drugs) they have, all within the framework of a positive and supportive social network at a shared home. I'm not really sure what people are proposing beyond this. They've carried these experiments out at large scale (and continue to do so - halfway houses are still very much a thing) but they just don't seem to work, at all, in the US.

And so I think what is the difference there is the million dollar question. And the worst part is that it's not even consistent with nations themselves. For instance in checking out some recidivism rate data [1] it turns out that we have things like a recidivism rate of 23% in Oregon while it's 61% in Minnesota. That datum runs also runs in stark contrast to the person who responded while projecting his prejudiced views. Minnesota demographics [2]. Oregon demographics [3]. On the gang issue, to reemphasize I think that's a product of this sort of culture rather than this sort of culture being a product of gangs. So gangs are a subset but not the issue in and of themselves.

The free market in the US has created the biggest corporations known to mankind. However a drive to monopolise an industry doesn't necessarily equate to technological advancement. In fact often it can lead to the opposite effect where there is a lack of motivation to innovate once market penetration reaches a certain threshold.

The ironic thing is the free market in the US seems to be a one way street. There's a push for deregulation whenever it allows corporations to behave with moral ambiguity. However corporations often love legislation if it raises the barrier for entry for new start ups wishing to compete.

But going back to your original point, there have been plenty of great technological advances from China and Europe. Easily more than enough to dismiss your insinuation that the US has a monopoly on technological advancement, let alone the wider point regarding free markets.
I would say Nim is far less intuitive than Python, and it’s better to only iteratively refactor occasional subsets of your code for heavy performance, and not presume you need all parts to have C-like speed (you don’t).

This is why I think choosing to begin a project in Nim (or C++), is a form of drastic premature optimization, compared with Python and iterative usage of Cython.

I use Anki. It really does work. A few things I found:

1. It takes discipline to understand the material properly before attempting to just bang it all in Anki, but learning directly from Anki can be miserable, so it really is best to try to grasp it fully before going near Anki

2. Creating the right questions can be difficult - sometimes I found myself able to regurgitate the answer but other tests proved I didn't really understand the meaning. One way to approach this is to test different aspects of the answer, or to add the inverse of the question. Still even if you don't grasp the meaning properly just having a rote answer in your head can improve your capability

3. Life often gets in the way of the discipline required!
My understanding of the current situation is that if you don't pay your federal student loans, they will take gradually money from your earnings or benefits instead. If you don't have earnings or benefits I guess they don't take anything?

That seems like a better situation then permanently ruining someone's credit score, which seems like it's regressive and stops people getting out of the situation because it's harder to get back on track.

This seems like a step backward not forward to me.
No. It's too hard to recommend anything. Different people have different tastes.

There are Cherry Browns, Gateron Browns, Kailh Browns, Zealio (bunch of them with different activation weight), and bunch of others. I have 2 keyboards with browns and one with blues. I don't like browns, I want some thing with bigger activation weight.

I’m asking you to prove a negative to demonstrate that no US company could adequately assess their exposure at present, and they certainly couldn’t do it for free.

You seem to not understand that one of the core principles of the GDPR is that the EU intend to enforce it in all jurisdictions. Which they can do without an armed invasion using trade treaties, and instruments such as the New York Convention. For any entity anywhere in the world that doesn’t do business in the EU, blocking the entire union is the most risk averse and cost sensitive option.

nothing really, i guess "off the internet" was a bit harsh. But it seems promoting this kind of nonsense is a bad idea. show it to enough people and a bunch will believe it. this is also why I oppose promotion of anti-vaxxing ideas, homotherapy, religion and other such obvious nonsense that tend to be convincing but detrimental to portions of the population.

I do think "that's just facebook" is a fair thing to say. it's a platform that promotes content, they have the right to choose what content they promote, and maybe this shouldn't be on that list.

Why do keyboards have hard-wired cables anyhow?

Captive cables only need enough copper to supply enough current for the device they're built into.

Separate cables, OTOH, need enough copper for 500mA with a certain voltage drop to be USB standard compliant. Means 24AWG or bigger for a 2m cable [1].

That's why your keyboard, mouse and webcam have skinny cables while other USB cables are much thicker.

> Even writing an IP address in a web server log is considered "keeping data"

No it's not. Stop spreading FUD.

If so, every part of every Internet-connected system on earth would be required to be completely redesigned to be GDPR-compliant. Demanding anything like that is not only unreasonable, it's 100% unrealistic.

The GDPR is perfectly reasonable legislation and has legroom for obvious operational requirements, like access logs.

(If you however mine the access log to derive or track users, that is another matter completely.)
> picking white man isn't even racist, it's rational in the Bayesian framework

Only if you assume no inherent counter-bias, which is of course ridiculous. Without affirmative action, blacks/women would have to have equal exam scores coupled with adverse conditions (statistically, on average) to the white/male candidate. By that logic, they would need to perform much better on aggregate.
Agree 100% with this. I believe we should really utilize the internet more as a bridge for offline interactions. I've been trying to build something similar for sports called Reclub. https://reclub.co
A large proportion of modern mechanical keyboards have a mini/micro USB port on the bottom, with a strain relief channel for the cable. It's my preferred configuration - it won't accidentally unplug, strain on the cable won't damage the port and you can easily replace the cable if it's damaged.

Ahh, it doesn't make much sense to install it away from a powerplant. It captures waste heat and electricity, where as one elsewhere would only be able to capture excess electricity.
You need a DPO if one of the following apply:

* 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.

That's from https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da..., which is a pretty good summary generally, from the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

If you're running an ad network building profiles of millions of users, then yes, you need a DPO. If you're storing extremely personal medical data, then yes, you need a DPO. If you're running an email newsletter, you 100% do not.
I think the person you're replying to understands that, they were responding to the snark with facts: basically saying "hey, your stereotype is out of date: in the US, made in China doens't necessarily mean "crap" anymore, e.g. Apple."
As always, the question is 'with how much certainty'? At low enough certainty I could predict what parts of the world will get dryer or wetter on the back of an envelope, but there are a lot of unknowables like human activity that would have to be included to make a quite reliable prediction.
