So every EU country can demand 30% (to 40%) of content is local to them.

There is 27 countries in EU, so how the hell will that work.

Not only will Netflix have to produce local content but will have to hide. French stuff from Germans to keep 60% of the prime Holywood stuff.

Unless I'm missing something - the maths seem off.

Another plus for Brexit. We have BBC for local stuff, give me back Futurama.

(that being said, there is a great none English football team owning drama.. Plus that French secret service drama/comedy.. Good netflix original stuff I watch with subtitles)
As much as I don't like Firefox with each new release, the alternatives are worse. So I've settled for FF until it falls far enough to lose the title of "least worst browser".

There are good reasons that many people avoid lending money to (or even doing business with) close friends and relatives. If the venture doesn't succeed, and the friend is unable to repay the loan, it can create animosity and bitterness that wreck the relationship. Even if things go well, it can create an uncomfortable power dynamic that makes the relationship less pleasant and friendly.
You seriously think those are the only two options?

This is cool, seems like getting this article on HN should be helpful for you.

I like the total net revenue figure, $710 and low expenses.

I'm in a similar range for my side project, a few thousands of dollars (prob a similar net revenue figure to yours) but not nearly enough to take it full time and (by itself, from a pure financial perspective) not enough to justify the huge amounts of time I spend on it it.

A lot of people say getting the first X (3 or 10 or whatever) customers is the hardest, but for me it's definitely been expanding on that and taking it to the next level.

No, in fact for me the text seems to load first and then other elements of the page load around it. And I'm running HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, and Decentraleyes in addition to uBlock Origin (with mostly-stock blocklists), so if there's going to be an issue I usually hit it :p

I think there's some contradiction between those statements:

> Rather than having, as C++ has, a complete map implementation for each unique map declaration, the Go compiler creates a maptype during compilation and uses that value when calling into the runtime’s map functions.

> Does the compiler use code generation?

> No, there is only one copy of the map implementation in a Go binary

The compiler certainly does code generation, as outlined in the article. It just minimizes the amount of generated code, and uses explicit non-generic functions on some higher layers. One can do the same in a generic C++ map implementation too, by delegating some of the logic into non-generic functions. It's a thing that is commonly done in manually size-optimized code. One could also hope that the compiler automatically detects some of the duplicated code between template instances, and deduplicates it.

Today I tried another software for the fediverse: pleroma.

So far the fediverse isn't for me. I don't want to join an existent instance. I don't want to run a large project like Mastodon.

And pleroma looked about right for me. But it's currently only for insiders. (I'm using Linux since the 1990s and have installed different news and mail servers. Maybe my patience isn't what it used to be but I don't have any plans on trying pleroma again soon.)

All the other projects are either in a very early stage or use technology I trust less than C News.

Make sure you put time into staying in touch with people you know, especially people you have worked with before. Tell them you are looking for work. Talk to them about the interesting stuff you are doing.

I've noticed that the more excited I am about work I'm doing, or the work they are doing, the more opportunities I have.

The biggest contracts I have ever received started with a conversation over some beers, playing darts after hours, etc. A lot of listening to their problems, offering advice and saying "that sounds really interesting, I'd love to help with that!"

You have to do this even when you are really busy doing work you already have. Keep the pipeline full, it can take a long time for opportunities to show up, so stay in people's mind constantly.
> how disposable do you view people to just up and remove them out of your life

I think that's a bit of a false dichotomy. "Just get new friends" is definitely callow, but muting someone for a while on Facebook isn't the same as shutting them out of your whole life forever. I have a cousin I follow about half the time. He's usually positive and funny and I love to see what he's up to, but sometimes he gets on a really bitchy tangent about his job so I unfollow for a week or two while he and his flight-attendant friends talk about what inferior beings we passengers are. I'd never unfriend him, because I value the connection FB helps us maintain. Sometimes a bit of distance is part of maintaining the health of that relationship. Similarly, my "new friends" are often just humor/meme pages that help me get through my own difficult times. Curating my feed works. Telling people that it might work for them isn't at all the same as telling them to get new friends.

How disposable do you view people to just up and remove a connection to all of them because you don't want to take responsibility for your own experience on a site?
Most of the US is not California or the NE.

When someone says "most", they mean the outliers are not included. When one says "most Americans can't point out Egypt on the map", it's rather pointless to give examples of PhD's who can.

In my view, most of the rules here range from "meh" to horrible. This reads like some teen's "deep" thoughts when said teen doesn't have enough life experience to have any business giving advice.
I also think a middle-class family is in the "sweet spot" where they have a lot to lose from offering a loan as opposed to either not having a lot to lose in the first place or being so well-off that they can easily just write off a bad investment.
>If vendors are forced to abuse updates in this way then users are going to demand a certificate transparency-like system to stop the abuse.

I always thought this would be a neat use of Ethereum: a smart contract publicly stores the hash+url of the latest version of $softwareProduct (and maybe also the hash+url for the latest beta release, etc). The software would only update to a version named by the smart contract. The smart contract would only allow the application developers' addresses to be able to update the published hash+urls. The smart contract could have arbitrary logic here, like to allow the developers to add new addresses that can publish new versions, or to implement voting logic so a majority of the developers have to agree on publishing a new version, etc. In this system, it's not possible to secretly push a malicious update to one user.
That doesn't work. You've linked to outdated information. If you search the web for how to disable Chrome updates, you'll find people on StackOverflow etc saying the same thing... that it's not easy or not possible when following that page you linked to.

In my case, I don't even have that Google Update registry key you've linked to. So they're doing some other nasty hacky thing to silently install new versions over itself without my permission.

Google REALLY doesn't want people disabling auto updates. It's like other things they do, they don't hesitate to build-in arrogant patterns in order to herd everyone into the same behaviour.

Like with the account chooser, it's no longer possible to simply sign out of Google and be properly signed out, so your name doesn't appear on the sign in page. Google remembers your login and shows your email address on the sign in page, even though you're logged out. This is Google REALLY not wanting anyone to sign out.

>People who readily eat the worst foods on earth would never think of putting bad fuel in their car.

I respectfully disagree. People put all sorts of terrible fuel into their car. In my opinion, price is the determining factor for most people when it comes to fuel, not quality. I think the prevalence of ethanol based fuel supports that.

I also think there is a somewhat analogous argument to be made for food as well. People go for what is cheap and fast. If time = money then people go for cheap and cheap. Although I agree with your point about the emotional dependence. Anecdotally I've been doing Keto for 2 years and removing carbs and sugar from my diet has allowed me for the first time in my life to view food as fuel and not some sort of emotional validation. I've seen a lot of people on r/keto speculate that it's because of the lack of sugar rushes and the then inevitable dopamine hit. Kind of like a drug when you think about it.
I actually asked a non-math/cs person the question, "if I gave you a shuffled deck of cards and asked you to sort them, what would you give me?" Her response was, I'd give you the deck order them by suit (spade, club, heart, diamond), then by number (with j,q,k after 9).

Which was what I expected. The twitter post seems to suggest that his expectation for the given question would be four decks, one for each suit (i.e., categorized).
I've wondered about this, but what I've heard is that few Indian families eat out very often.

> I think the individualist streak in American culture is better shown by people being unwilling to seek help from friends/family.

And our families are, cross-culturally, unusually small. I talk to my parents every few weeks. Not so much my aunts and uncles. I have a few cousins who I see every fifth Christmas or so, and anyone more distant than that may as well be unrelated. This seems to be common within American culture, but it leads to weak social networks - unless you go to the right college and can network there.

It estimates 10 clock cycles penalty, which at 3GHz is ~3ns. I think that it is the correct order of magnitude, but 15-20 clocks is probay more accurate. The penalty is variable though and hard to characterize. For example recovering from the uop cache shaves 3-4 cycles.
Have you tried Mastodon?

You still pay someone else to run the server (or not, if you prefer), you can just choose who you pay, and which server. Sending toots does not require that you set up your own infra, re: the email example.

> People don't want to moderate themselves, they want a larger power to do it for them. It's why we have representative democracy instead of direct democracy: people don't want to be involved.

This is commonly asserted, but I’ve never seen much evidence for it. Was a direct democracy given a good run in the US at some-point? Do I need communications with my friends to be moderated? Does this effect only kick-in when finding strangers, attempting to influence millions at once, or selling ads? Moderation decisions on Facebook and Twitter make headlines at the moment, it doesn’t seem to me that people don’t care, or don’t want to be heard.

I agree with you that Mastodon is unlikely to ‘take-over’ Twitter or Facebook anytime soon. But that wouldn’t be my criteria for success.

With no meaningful support from gov/banks etc, people banding together to help each other might be an alternative. Some non profits are working in this space too. After Sandy, some orgs in NY were giving interest free loans to small biz people who lost their trucks etc.
I don't know about computer science but all high schools could stand to teach a general familiarity course in computers, networking, and robotics.

Suggested curriculum points:

- Plug the related high school extracurricular clubs
- Computing on a tight budget
- Two types of free: gratis or libre
- Resources to further your own computing knowledge
- Brief history of computing
- Careers in computing, networking, and robotics
- Basic hardware security
- Basic network security
- Basic encryption, incl. protocols and certificates
- Trust, skepticism, and mistrust online
- Basic system architectures
- Popular choices in operating systems
- Microcontrollers, FPGAs, SoCs, sensors, buses, motors
- Taking control of your own computers
- Protecting yourself from malware, spyware, and spam
- Backing up your data
- How to evade the law online
- How to catch online scofflaws
- Open vs. closed source
- Types and uses of various licenses
- Technical standards, FUD, and embrace-extend-extinguish

Most people won't need to learn full-blown computer science in high school, just as most people won't need to take a second year of calculus. People will need to know why it's a bad idea to glue a tablet computer to a refrigerator and allow it unrestricted access to your Wi-Fi.

Everyone in the class could leave it with their own Raspberry Pi (or competitor system) and a custom-made peripheral for it.

We had a bunch of RapidSSL certs in-use internally, and were rather pokey in replacing them since they were less-critical internal certs. Everything with the deprecation warnings were exactly as expected and announced.

I think you're agreeing with me?
Why do CoW in sosend(2) -- just have such a system call that requires the caller not to touch the memory being loaned until the writes are completed. CoW for memory is way too expensive.

This reminds me that CoW filesystems (think ZFS) and writing through mmap() don't play well. You end up having to use msync(2), which many apps assume there is no need for, and msync(2) is often terribly slow (ISRT at least one system ended up doing page-at-a-time sync writes!).

Now, what happens if you have a sosend(2) that requires the caller leave the memory alone, and the caller touches it anyways? Undefined behavior. Possible outcomes include: some CRC/hash/MAC will fail to verify, the mod will have come too late and not been included, the mod will have come soon enough to be included.

> Most people that work in politics or intelligence in liberal states aren't in it for the power.

Could be, but you're making a VERY dangerous assumption about their lack of gullibility.

Technology is a difficult field to understand - just look at all the asinine content filtering proposals to get a feel just how out of their depth well-meaning politicians can be. Now think about encryption, an inherently much more difficult subject. The same, or similarly well-intentioned, politicians are going to be completely out of their depth. They can be goaded, led and nudged towards a goal they do not, and indeed can not understand.

Make no mistake. This proposal and its talking points are being fed to the talking heads by parties who want to outlaw end-to-end encryption.

The politicians talking about this are probably innocent of malice, but they sure as hell are guilty of heinous ignorance.

The Gujaratis are known to be big on business as the bread and butter of life. Even the simplest of businesses is something they would rather pick up than learn an actual trade. Of the Gujaratis, the Patel's are known for being the biggest pursuers of business. Aside from being a common name, Patel is synonymous to owning a business.

One of the ways that Gujaratis come to America is use the investments route, sort of like investment chain migration. One member takes an investment, migrates, sets up business, profits, then sends the money back home, for others to travel in the same visa program. Then two people come, twice the profit, twice the pace of bringing people over. These business groups form around family bonds typically.
If that were true, a great many more people would be locked up, or disappeared, across the world. Pseudonyms have been essential long before the internet, long before electricity. They should not be looked down upon.

Nor should they be a privilege. It is cute when a celeb adopts a "stage name". We don't really consider that hiding, but politicians use stage names too. When you want to actually research a person, say to find out if they have a criminal background, cute "stage names" become barriers to legitimate research. If the wealthy and powerful get to use pseudonyms, everyone gets to use pseudonyms.
