- Instead of graph algorithms, we use more algorithms that originate from databases

- Currently the bottleneck is improving server parallelism and filtering/limiting the amount of results (cause the algorithm can send up millions and millions of rows back). Which in a sense is also a frontend problem: which locations do you want to visit?

Afaik 'observe' is not in the human context, it's in the measurement context. Our eyes don't change the outcome, it's that we don't know the outcome of quantum happening without measuring in some manner, and because quantum physics is essentially nature's statistics, measuring those physics themselves provides different outcomes.

Wow, SFP ports. I'm seriously tempted to pick one of these up... the only downside is that it appears information on the CPU (and specifically the TDM interface protocol) is locked behind a Marvell NDA. That'd limit its potential for expansion, though I guess USB is still an option.

Of course the first period of experimentation and discovery will lead to unexpected and unpleasant results. All new technology takes time to mature, for the users to get an understanding of its tricky implementation bits and long-term impact. It's not wise to immediately put all your eggs in a brand new basket. But the ones who experiment and adapt will always eventually outperform those who refuse to change and stick to tried-and-tested. That's the very nature of evolution.

That's a really American perspective about public transport. Here's a counter example:

While Marcel Rohner[1] was CEO of UBS he took the train from Aarau, where he lived, to UBS' head office in Zurich. That's despite the fact that the CEO of UBS has a car and driver at his disposal.

But the point is that he'd nevertheless be stuck in traffic jams like us mere mortals and taking the train is just that much more efficient.

And that's the thing. People chose their mode of transportation based on efficiency and economics. You're not, by definition, a social outcast just because you use train, trams of buses and that goes for a lot of countries outside the US, provided there's investment into the public transport infrastructure. But unless people feel safe it's a non-starter if you have alternatives.

If OP looks up some Dockerfiles on docker hub, this will make more sense. Look at this mysql file for instance:

https://github.com/docker-library/mysql/blob/696fc899126ae00...

If two Dockerfiles use debain:stretch-slim as their base, docker won't download both base images twice. Each command in the Dockerfile creates an image. If you copy a Dockerfile and just change the last line and build them in order, the 2nd build will run a lot faster and you'll see in the output it pulls out "cached images" since it's already run those commands (docker build --no-cache always forced a full build).

If you start making Dockerfiles and playing around with it, it will start to make more sense.
If your business operates outside of the law of course it should be shutdown. I think fines are a good way to cause compliance without causing more harm than necessary.

Are you advocating government not be able to influence businesses to comply with the law at all?

GDPR is actually a very well thought through piece of legislation and I've implemented compliant systems: best rule of thumb I heard - treat peoples personal information as if it is credit card data and you will comply in a fairly straight forward way.
They are accountable to their users. If a company is negligent with user data and their customers actually do care about this issue, this company will either eventually improve or go out of business. And if customers don't deem this important, it's not a government's role to decide it is.

To be clear, I'm not arguing for no control at all. However, fines should not be so egregious that it ends up being up to bureaucrats to decide whether a company lives or dies. This will easily lead to selective enforcement and corruption.

> the vast majority of established researchers do not care that the system is broken.

I've been arguing that it's a coordination problem.

Aspiring scientists don't have the pull to change the system (if they move individually they only bear the individual disadvantages without bringing about the big collective benefit), and established scientists generally don't care or are too busy with other things [1].

That's why a concerted ("political") move like this cOAlition S thing is so important, and I find it very disappointing that academics speak out against it. I will read more to understand why.

Nope, whatever happens it's the natural way: mistakes, mix, match and all.
Genetic code in large, multicellular organisms is quite different; in mammals, for certain functions you have multiple pathways to achieve similar things through different vehicles (proteins). In this sense, it is more akin to building or blowing up a bridge in relation to a transportation network; usually, other paths still exist, but sometimes and in certain critical locations it really fucks up the infrastructure.

I find this kind of error the most unsettling, it implies the people writing the authentication system don't trust the underlying ORM/database sanitisation layer (if there even is one!) enough, so to 'play it safe' they manually filter out 'suspicious characters'.

Or, maybe not.

An academic article is not a blog post. Also, only the most popular posts get discussed here -- tons of stuff is lost if it's not initially popular. Timing your submission allows for gaming the system.

All scholarly articles need to go through peer review and receive honest, constructive feedback -- especially the bad ones, and Hacker News (and Reddit and Slashdot and any system like that which doesn't assign reviewers to articles) isn't very good at that.
What I've been missing is not so much finding the best routes between two airports, but finding the best (ie. least expensive) route from a bunch of departure airports to a number of destination airports.

If I'm in Antwerp, I really don't care much if I have to depart from/return to Brussels Zaventem, Charleroi or Eindhoven, it just doesn't matter. And if the fare is sufficiently cheaper, then Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Beauvais or Paris is fine too. And I don't have to return to the airport I left from. Typically it's the same for my destination in the case of holidays.

But I still haven't found websites which allowed to do that easily, apart from Google Flights maybe.
I tried once Turkish Airlines. It was amazing.
The question wasn't "who is paying them?", the question was "why aren't the publishers paying them?". And that is a crucial question, and not answered by the observation that they are already paid by others.

> This is a basic insurance market. You can still buy the insurance separately if you want it -- sites like eBay would undoubtedly offer it with nothing more than a checkbox for about the same fee as the credit card companies currently charge for implicitly the same thing.

It's not the same thing. With chargebacks, in the case of fraud the payment processor almost always extracts the money from the seller, acting both as a deterrent and reducing the cost of the protection. If it was just insurance, it would be more expensive (because there would be less deterrent to (seller-side) fraud and it would cost more to recoup the costs).
tldr: China's government displaced 20,000 people to build an airport that probably doesn't need to exist because the real problem is that China's military controls 70% of the airspace, which causes massive delays on a regular basis.
> Everyone realizes this.

They absolutely don't. Every time this subject comes up, there are plenty of people wondering how expensive it can be to host a PDF. It's not; the price they're asking is not for the service of hosting a PDF, but for granting you the privilege of using their brand. A publisher has a monopoly on its brands, which means that there's almost no downwards price pressure.

> Do we really want the government to have that much say in whether businesses live or die?

The company broke the law in a way that could have potentially harmed* individuals (passwords are critical secrets, many users do not have more than one, and so could lose their entire identity and maybe several years worth of funds. Sure, you can say that is the fault of the user, but there is the assumption of security here that was given by the company and not fulfilled).

If you rent a deposit box at a bank, with the assumption of safety, and it turns out they leave all the doors unlocked, don't hire guards, and someone came in and stole everyone's things and took them to the market, then closure of the bank is absolutely deserved.

Conversely, if a prison gives the assumption of security, but doesn't hire guards, or bother locking cells, and all the inmates walk out and some people are killed, does the prison deserve to go bankrupt?

These examples are exaggerated, yes, but roughly similar in circumstance. Hopefully enough to show that, yes, there are circumstances in which we want the government to have that hold over companies.

Now, do we want governments to have restraint? Sure. But it seems clear to me that they very openly are acting in restraint in this case. 20k EUR is a pittance to what was potentially lost by the people involved in the breach.

* - (Indeed, in America and a few other countries with weak to non-existent social welfare nets, loss of identity and money is likely to lead to homelessness and eventual death for the person, if they do not have family to rely on).
Are you asking for feedback on which algorithm to choose OR advice on implementing it?
Well, some people prefer it. Many countries have alternative systems that are more used than CCs, and which they consider superior. Having a single system that maintains those advantages but is usable worldwide would be nice.
> You have to realize publishers are in the reputation business.

Exactly. The name "publishers" makes people think that their primary business is publishing, but the main source of income is seeking rent on the use of their brand names.

Absolutely, huge coordination problem (prisoner's dilemma). Let's see what this cOAlition S can do about it.

OK, but I don't think any government action to close the bank would be necessary in that case.

So how does giving the government a say help?

You've misunderstood the person you are replying to. The insinuation was not that the labor is unpaid, the insinuation is that the labor is paid for by someone other than the publisher.

The ultimate point being that the group that pays for the labor does not get the benefit of the labor: each member of the public must individually pay for access to the article. This situation is absurd: they have already paid for the article's production.

This is why the most powerful open access initiatives are being driven by grant agencies. They are in a position to unequivocally state that the research they are paying for must be open to the public since they grant the money on behalf of that very same public.
