If the business operates with the EU, this generally involves having a subsidiary in an EU country (most companies have subsidiaries in Ireland that own all of their "IP" for tax avoidance reasons, and thus can be very trivially fined as they operate as an EU company).

I get your point, but practically most large companies have EU subsidiaries (and in many cases, structure their businesses to exploit the benefits of EU nations like Ireland) and thus must follow EU laws anyway.

Amazon has good developers, but the JVM is quite complex and the pool of people who can work on it is pretty rare, I wonder how well they’ll be able to maintain it on their own.

The trouble is, we've created mind-bogglingly complex economic and political systems which we cannot model quantitatively with our current means. These are not deterministic systems unless all variables and moving parts are taken into account.

Objective truths on more abstract topics are therefore replaced with speculation based on personal bias and experiences. It might be true based on your experience, but your experience is not representative of the whole system, it is a product of your location in space and time.

Different parts of that PDF are from different dates. Not sure which part you're seeing from 2017, but the Application for Manufacturer's Testing Permit is dated October 11, 2018.

I suspect your perception of how transparent they're being might differ depending on where you're located; Waymo's disclosures so far have been mostly in the form of communication directly with the communities they're testing in; not as blog posts or press releases to national media. That document, for example, contains copies of emails that Waymo sent directly to city officials in the places where they planned to start testing.
To clarify, I'm not suggesting an outright ban - that would be a foreign policy gaffe of monumental proportions.

I also have no prejudice towards Chinese people, but I do feel that it is time for Americans to unite, realize that their is still hatred in the world (much of which is cultural), and toughen back up.
Is that what that was? I got a blank page too but then clicked "reader mode" by reflex before thinking about it. (I browse with JS disabled and a lot of sites are pretty broken anyway.)
OpenBSD has a very sane culture in which deleting code, or reformatting code without the compiler object change, are good things.

Most organizations don't see the value in that.

I think the hospital fails to understand that anybody can be deanonymised by cross referencing enough 'anonymised' data sets.
Whoever wrote this goes into detail about how Google should not be trusted with this app, and they will now have the power to post your personal information online. This app could prove helpful to doctors and nurses. I do agree with the author that it is scary that a multi-million internet company will have access to medical information, but the thing is that hospitals have been using internet-based devices for storing patient information for years. Technically, Google could have already had access to all of this information (they wouldn't because that is illegal). We also have no idea how this app works, it could in end to end encryption, which means that Google could not get the information if they tried. We have no idea what Google's plans are, but I am fairly sure they will not be breaking any HIPPA laws.
This is equivalent to buying citizenship with money. Sounded a bit too permissive.

Do we really rather want to end up in a world where the government is in the business of undermining computer security at large to get its spyware everywhere it wants it? I mean, but do we want this to be a thing the legal system does openly as part of its mandate?

I'm also not sure if I want the government installing cameras in all public spaces so they can, uh, catch speeding cars and definitely do nothing else, maybe uploading car telemetry when you're on public roads is an okay price to avoid that.
Pearl King Street in particular was an overpriced restaurant with poor positioning. Chinatown is a few minutes away and offer much much better food at 1/3 of the price for each dim sum dish. Right beside are some better dining choices and no one ever went in there even when cars were allowed on King St.

I think either way Pearl was destined to close.
The notion of tests that take 20 hours blows my mind.

The notions of tests written in C that take 20 hours I can't even fathom.
It is simply untrue that the overall utilization of the infrastructure is low. Streetcars on King and Queen are usually jam-packed, unless you are in the far east and west ends. The bike lanes running east west on King, Adellaide, and other streets are very heavily used.

And it's true that most people who were driving won't trade in their cars for bikes, for various reasons. I am not sure how that factors in at all here.
Looks great! Are the p2p video streams end-to-end encrypted?
Interesting to see neo4j released an official Go driver. Java, Javascript, Python, dotnet and now Go have an officially supported bolt driver.
While this isn't something I disagree with in principle, I can't help but to feel uneasy about it. Should companies have helped Nazi Germany to identify Jews since that was the local law?

If not, the clearly the principle isn't so solid after all. But I don't know what to replace it with.

The man who pled guilty was calling in a swatting or a bomb threat every two to three days for the three months before he was caught. It took someone dying to actually get a serious investigation.

"If you want to get some fresh air in your home, do not leave a window half-open all day long—instead, open all your windows at once to cycle the air as fast as possible, then close them again and let the purifier do its job. If you do that in the morning (ideally just before leaving, if you aren't staying home), you'll have great air quality through the entire evening and night."

Why not have a filtered air ingress ?

That is, instead of sealing the house, why not install an air purifier in a window and have constant fresh air inflow ?
Cloud disk space for an executable file costs nothing compared to potential losses if that executable is used for cracking into your installation.

It could be either via a hole in that executable, or just by using the executable to greatly simplify the penetration and / or privilege escalation.
Restaurants close all the time. Are those closures due to the pilot? The city has provided numbers on receipts which don't show a huge effect. I'm not saying there's no causation here, but you can't just say 11 restaurants are closed and attribute them all to the pilot.
If the data shared included a detailed brain scan, then yes I'd say the hospital was lying about "anonymized form", same as if it included a retinal scan or fingerprint.
Ah, interesting. So they basically sell the right to use their trademark?
Correlation does not mean causation. Restaurants close all the time for myriad of different reasons. Do you have any data that can actually support a causal link here?
Back in 2001, during the dotcom crash, I was unemployed a few months, and really got into sourdough at that time. It was pretty awesome. But loaves keep their own time, so I couldn't maintain it when I had a job again.

I wonder if it works well on Windows XP 32-bit.
This is nice within a specific usecase: Being able to make files with all the pattern chunks you use repeatedly, so you can reuse them and add to them. If you can't make files, it at least looks no worse than composing regexes on the command line, but it also doesn't look all that different.

Edit: OK, I was wrong. It is strictly more powerful than regexes, in that it can correctly match nested pairs.
For a child with celiac disease, eating even a few crumbs of gluten is enough to set off the auto-immune reaction and cause intestinal damage. I agree that a lot of the fear of gluten is overblown, but there are people for whom it really does matter.

> Could you please expand on how does the Ethereum blockchain get to know whether the goods arrived if the buyer and seller are saying conflicting things and no third parties are involved?

It's possible to have some mutually assured destruction here, e.g. the contract is for $100 so the buyer puts in $150 and the seller puts in $100. Then when the buyer releases the money, they get $50 of their money back and the seller gets $200 ($100 from the buyer and their original $100). If the buyer doesn't release the money, nobody gets anything.

It gives the buyer a way to punish the seller for non-delivery, but without receiving any personal benefit (and in fact at a personal cost) for using it.
They also supply support and custom images.

However it does apply to EU companies regardless of where the data subject is, and given that Apple is clearly an EU company if you see how its business is structured to (illegally) avoid taxes[1], it would apply in both cases.

But, more importantly, the GDPR doesn't help if the data is needed for a criminal investigation. There are very clear exemptions to the GDPR protections, and this is one of them.

>at some point a judge will be asked if it fits the charge, and make a layman decision, not a programmer's one.

There seems to be a doubles standard in regards to the use of technical vs layman decisions. I've seen legal cases where the judge is making rulings on extremely technical points of law which are far outside the layman's understanding, but these only seem to happen when there are really expensive lawyers pushing for it. Have a public defender? Layman decisions, especially if they aren't in the defendants favor.

I wonder if anyone would have the ability to formalize this into actual research to see if there is any truth behind my intuition.
Credit specialist
Hey, my name is Martin Mason and I’m a young guy (in my 20’s) I saw something on redit that says Repair Wizard is good and has helped a man who needed his credit score cleaned and raised as well. I quickly contacted him because I also needed my score raised and a pending hospital bill erased or deleted so I can purchase a car. Well after 72 hours, He erased the hospital bill and raised my score to 791 coupled with the good trade lines he posted on my profile that eventually got me qualified for the funds I needed for the car. I’m so lucky to have met him, you can contact him on; REPAIRWIZARD4@GMAIL.COM, +1 520 441 6561 for every form of credit issues, and he will come through for you.
Microsoft to acquire XOXCO
Motion to update your site copy to : "this site uses cookies (and pizza)"
(I am a regular of HN. I don't want this attributed to my acct.)

Previous job. Was sysad. This code runs most of the academic US internet.

Everything was Perl5. There were over 150 different major applications written with it, ranging from 40 lines to 500k lines. The older the recent commit, the worse. Touching any of this would cause errors, either in itself OR in associated applications! You'd be working on thing A, get it working well, and 4 weeks later thing B would fail horrendously.

The worst was a tie between a variable that was a 6 line long SQL query, which was packed to the brim with function calls that ended up expanding a query to something like 50 lines long.

The tie was a gem in code that wasn't touched for 7 years. This wasn't at the top, or even in a config file. It was hardcoded in the middle of the perl5 program...

$db_server = (servername);
$db_user = root;
$db_password = (password);

Other dishonorable mentions are as follows:

1. No primary keys for the main database....

2. Goober had the idea of storing pictures in said MySQL database. 70 GB of pics...

3. Redhat 4 still in production, along with RH 5.

4. Its everyone for themselves. The goal is you hobble it along enough for the next oncall. Let them get hit with it.

5. Running iron from 10 years ago. Contracts pull in $$$, but you're dealing with paleo-datacenter crap

6. Just retired LTO3 tapes. Now they have "shiny" LTO5....
I bought one of these earlier this year: https://kaiterra.com/products/laser-egg-2-plus/

They are hard to find and buy in the US, but very popular in China where many cities have major air quality issues. I picked one up on ebay.

Most of these consumer-grade PM2.5 monitors seem to use the same basic laser scatter sensor that measures 0.3um+ particles.
> Google isn't trying to control or limit what people think.

Google's efforts against "fake news" are exactly trying to do that.

And just because one agrees with them in this one instance doesn't change the precedent.
We’re talking about not disclosing important info at the time of IPO. Loudcloud was weeks from not being able to make payroll as they incorrectly stated cash designated for lease payments as free cash.

wxPython Project Phoenix
Interesting, that sounds plausible and reasonable, except that the authors mention the minimum granularity of memory reporting is 128KB blocks. For this attack to work, the response to a keystroke has to reliably allocate more than 128KB every time. The vertex and index buffers for a pair of triangles is less than 100 bytes, right? So if only geometry were allocated, you'd only see measurable allocations every once in a while and not for every keystroke. What else might be getting allocated?
TFA claims the stored energy is 300kj, which is roughly equivalent to the energy you get out of eating one apple.
This the kind of political action I can live with. I’d like to see it in other markets, furniture, etc., anywhere natural resource extraction doesn’t include the mitigation of impact and offsetting the effects.
This is Much much better than activists going vigilate and taking the violent aproach.
Although most of the replies will be "No, because <REASON...>", what is more important is to find the reason that suits yourself. You can of course find :

- Libraries that makes it efficient ;

- Plenty of styleguides / do / don't rules which makes it tidy ;

- TypeScript, where JS becomes statically typed ;

- Find beginners in any other languages, although "full of beginners" is actually positive, rather than negative.

- You can feel like a real pro if you write C / C++, but you will rarely be hired to make a REST API with that stack and you will not be hired to create a web app with it. So your statement might be more accurate if you say "Web development is downplayed as a newb", which is obviously wrong. Sure I would not recommend to write a database based on NodeJS or a search engine, or a space shuttle program, or a ... you name it, but you can't write with anything else ( at least serious ) than JavaScript or something that compiles to JS, for web development.

- Cool is also relative. I was writing Perl for 6 years, before I run out of job prospects and switched to NodeJS.
It is not just a matter of traffic throughput. Part of the purpose "complete streets" movement is to enable pedestrian and other slow-moving traffic for the purpose of increasing or preserving the vitality of urban cores. You have a different "kind" of downtown when it has enough foot traffic as opposed to people zooming by at 50 kmh pissed-off about looking for parking or trying to get home asap.

If the metrics only measure throughput of bodies past intersections, they're missing a large part of the point.
You're avoiding the point - a smartphone is a place where evidence can now exist where it couldn't before.

We need two things to operate productively without the State:

Cryptocurrency is one. It does the job of the mint.

The second piece, is we need a set of contracts that allow us to never take ownership of assets anymore.

Instead of "here's a dollar, please may I have a taco", we'll say "please may I have a taco, here are my contracts" and the chef will ask the computer, "are this one's contracts aligned enough that I give them a taco?"

There will be times you need to create revenue, which will be taxable, but it won't be the default.

I'm not talking about tax evasion here. I'm talking about operating in a way that human activity can't be modeled as a transfer of assets. Essentially widening your friends and family circle to temporarily include arbitrary individuals.
>At which point will they add their proprietary extensions? Am I the only one fearing this?

What? OpenJDK is GPL with a class path exception, so software that runs on it can be licensed however but additions/changes to OpenJDK cannot be kept proprietary. Can you please elaborate what you're afraid of there? It's not as if Amazon is the copyright holder and can thus even offer a dual license.

King street restaurants have high turnover anyways - most of them have not been open that long to begin with. The area has a lot of competition so you really can't get away with being mediocre for very long.

Lots of business were crying foul at the start of the pilot, but credit card transaction data the city has hasn't borne that out.
You know what's terrible? This could almost be any one of about three of the Perl contracts I've had in the last decade (apart from the US part, obvs.)

I’ve just been asked this by a couple of young engineers in search of a new project for quick and good (€10+m) monetisation in, say, 2-3 years and starting now from scratch. I have put fintech cybersecurity forward as the most liquid and possibly the richest niche out there for a 3 years attempt. Any better tip? Thanks. EDIT: project starting from the EU.
Life doesn't sound that easy for the CEO of a private company owned by a PE firm either: Lots of debt to service, high pressure to deliver, and bosses that are much more direct and demanding than a public company board would normally be.

You're probably correct, but man is that a sign of our industry's immaturity. Debian is a stable and free platform on which to build a product. Ubuntu is a fine end-user distro, but it is neither as stable nor as free as Debian.
I certainly don't believe the US has such a policy. So, it surprises me when people think other countries have such a policy. Never has such a thing happened in the history of the world.

Neat! I can definitely imagine cases where this would be helpful.

Another thing I've wished for is being able to remove an element from an hll. I don't think intersection quite gets me there; it would need to be a separate operation.
