Thanks for the suggestions. They follow some of my own thoughts.

> Push your politicians to support GDPR-style legislation

Luckily I live in the EU, only 'luckily' might be an overstatement with regards to privacy if you look at the article 13 issue. Apart from that, at least to what I perceive, privacy carries at least some meaning here still.

> Donate to your politicians so they actually listen

I do not have enough money to make politicians listen I think.

> Run for office

This seems like one of the only conceivable routes to take that could have some real impact. I don't want to run for some political office, but at some point I might have to.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Nietzsche thought that we shouldn't give power that those who want it. Right now there are a lot of people in power who want that political power and use that to advance themselves in life, rather than helping society. Not only in politics however; Amazon's developers who work on these intrusive technologies are just as guilty. I would not work on this type of technology because I can't justify this to myself as a person, but apparently many people leave the person they are at the door when they go to work, developers and politicians alike.

> ...emigrate...

I could consider this at some stage, but that would be to protect myself and my family against imaginable changes to political situations with regards to privacy, not as much as a way to force government to change their views.

> ... live off-grid

This sounds like a great way to draw attention to yourself. Besides, I don't want to live in the woods, I want to live in society without my privacy being violated constantly by advertisers, other companies and government. Because everybody has a right to their thoughts staying their own.
This is not a big deal. In fact likely better fertility for them: a 2008 deCODE study results show that couples related at the level of third cousins have the greatest number of offspring, with the greatest reproductive success observed for couples related at the level of third and fourth cousins.

HN formatting ate some * from the parent post:

jmp [ecx+eax * 8]

and the other is

mov edx, [ecx+eax * 8];
jmp edx

> The later is faster because of weird branch prediction reasons...

Things like that are microarchitecture dependent. Might be true on particular CPUs.

Of course it's possible separate MOV could be executed much earlier in the out of order pipeline while JMP effective address calculation might not. So JMP address (edx) would be already resolved by the time JMP is actually executing.
Is that what they asked?

Nomenclature is different in different fields all the time, or even different areas of the same field. It all depends on what practitioners feel is most intuitive.

No need to call someone rude for not answering your question and asking their own instead.
Now I am intrigued to make a minimal snippet that creates a histogram of loading times.
Actually it seems there is a mixup in the original text between DN (Distinguished Name) and CN (Common Name). The former is a generic term for a structured X.500 name, the latter a specific field in the Subject Name of a certificate, which is technically a DN.

The convention used to be that the CN field must match the DNS name of the server in a server TLS certificate, but this feature is indeed deprecated and the DNS name extension should be used instead.
I don't use JavaScript much, and have yet to do any RxJS.

I found the pipe() example to be more readable. BUT I would not think through the implementation detail, auto-currying functions so that I dont have to etc.

FWIW I love Scheme, but had not thought about these concepts for years. Seeing them in a new context, Currying and partial application, I can see how I could write some stuff that would trip up other JavaScript programmers. Not because I am a better programmer, but because I have habits from a differemt programming style.
Some SANs are more equal than others
If anything the default Ubuntu desktop has gotten a lot worse. i3 is not an option if you want to use commercial EDA tools on Linux. I’ve gone from a daily linux desktop user 10-8 years ago back to macOS and Windows. If you think Windows is not for power users you are deluding yourself. The majority of professional software exists solely for Windows or at least works much better there (in the case of Eda tools). With Linux Subsystem for windows you now get the best from both worlds.
I dunno, seems like it'd be a cheap pitch. Disclaimer: drone pilot :)
It is, but the Android Frameworks + NDK are still more consistent that jumping between Linux distributions and whatever their users might be using for the desktop.

Even GNOME and KDE libraries aren't as functional as the Android Framework, featurewise.

This has the same feel to me as the use of "unlimited" in cell phone plans – a semantic looseness that hovers north of criminal but south of acceptable.

It seems companies are free to make technical claims of questionable veracity with little fear of consequence. No wonder – we seem unable to elect leaders who take this topic seriously.

It's a lot harder to get away with this crap in the food and drug industry. I bought 4 boxes of tea yesterday and one of them is littered with legalese for having included valerian root. There were 4 asterisks on the front of the chicken sausage, following words like "Natural". Parsing the information can be tedious, but I think it's wonderful that those industries have a more difficult time concealing their shenanigans. Though there are still many tricks – "free range" and "grass fed" have loopholes you could drive a herd through.

Ultimately, companies are going to keep doing this to us for as long as it's profitable, and until we give them a compelling reason to stop.
Is deterrence really a thing? Multiple studies show that more severe punishments don't actually deter because the people committing the xrime almost never think of them.

Before even considering it I would ask the CEO why she’s leaving and the employees. Some people have very good reasons to leave a sinking ship (family being the most common), but others leave because of systemic problems in the company. I’ve seen CEOs burning out their team by creating a climate of fear before leaving when things go sour, claiming everyone is « incompetent ». I really advise you to spend A LOT of time talking to employees.

Cons:

- You’ll have to learn about a lot of different people at the same time. In early stages startup you get to meet people one after another and earn their trust one after another. This is different.

- You probably have a different vision than that of the previous CEO, and you’ll have to go the extra mile to align everyone.

- You inherit a culture you didn’t shape. You’ll probably have to change that, and it will take time for people to adjust. Just lead by example.
- All of this takes time, and meanwhile the company needs to survive :)

Pros:

- You’ll ramp up your people skills like never before. Gaining the respect of an entire team as a CEO, and (sometimes) repairing damage will take a lot of courage and empathy.

- Obviously, if you turn this around you’ll get major valley cred. And, never underestimate this, a huge satisfaction.

If you decide to go that way, good luck, and you already have my respect!
What kind of work was it you do? :)
The sociological effects of DNA matching sites are going to be interesting to watch. I personally found out a year or so ago that my dad wasn't my biological father. At the age of 45, that's an, um, interesting secret to suddenly discover.

Now, imagine what happens in a society with strict laws/rules/mores about this sort of thing? Well, we won't have to imagine for long. I'm quite sure my experience is a lot more common than most people realize, and I think much of the world isn't ready for it.

No offence, but the success of desktop Linux isn't measured by the adoption of 1 person.
It's clearly open source. What you mean to say is that it's not Free Software. Don't get me wrong I'm an ally of open source, but the very notion that open source or free software are somehow protected words is funny by itself.

Someone created a decent app, posted the source for it and allows you to play around with it. Be grateful, or ignore it, or bash it for technical reasons, but this "I don't actually care about the software I just came to say it's not really open source", because that one mention in the readme is odd to me.

I'm kind of assuming it might turn open core at some point in the future, but for now it's not.

Edit: I'm fully aware that the comment is controversial and not happily received by the HN community, but contrary to popular belief the open source initiative has no copyright claim to the words open source, merely to the open source initiative phrase. No downvotes will change that.

But even if you use the phrases by opensource.com:

The term "open source" refers to something people can

modify - fork

and share - pull request

because its design is publicly accessible.

I fully get why someone would dislike the strict way he defined his license terms, but it's still in accordance with modify and share.

"If you move beyond modifying the code and decide to distribute your modified version (or the original), that is the point at which there may be compliance issues with the open source license. You only need to check you are passing on the same rights to others as you received with the original code. "

You can distribute it just fine using the pull-requests. Again, it's fine to be against this, but "you're not allowing me to distribute it the way i want therefore it can't be open source" is a moot point.

I'm not argueing for his license, but I'm against the senseless bashing of licenses I disagree with.
Looks like personal accounts only.
Lawyers, yes, but religion also plays a major part.

> "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

So righteous people felt entitled to exploit animals with no regard to their inner lives, and exploit nature with no concern about the ecological disasters they might cause.

Only now, after we 'multiplied and filled the earth', have come to a point where we can't just ignore ecology, there are limits and constraints we now understand. So we developed new ethics that would help humanity survive.

I work in genomics. My lab, many of my friends and acquaintances work in genomics or had to dabble with it for at least one of their projects. You would think we would all be fascinated by this stuff, getting to know your own DNA and everything. Yet I don't know a single person who would even consider using 23andMe's service.

To me this is all an elaborate scam. Why on earth would you pay them to give them your data?! At least with Google et al. we know that if you are not paying for the product, you are the product. With this company you end up $100 (or whatever) short and you surrender your data for it to be sold to advertisers, insurance companies and whatnot. And not just stupid things like your Amazon shopping history or your latest Tinder conversations (which are in themselves pretty damn intimate if you ask me) but the most intimate thing of all. I actually disagree with behavioral genetics/sociobiology fundamentalists who think there's little more to the self than one's DNA, but just because one cannot make much out of it doesn't mean it can't be misused. If Gattaca implications sound scary, imagine what would happen if the decision makers had no idea what they were doing in the first place.

Because that's where we are at this point: just because X variant is associated with Y% more incidence of whatever disease does not mean extra care should be taken regarding risk factors, insurance policies, etc. The correlations are interesting when combined with other data but most of the time we have no idea what's going on and what it is that makes variant X cause disease Y, if it does at all. Doesn't mean it won't be misused.

Please people, don't pay to get your data swindled out of you. Stop with this weird fascination with your DNA, and stop trying to look for an answer when are barely asking the questions.
Very cool, thank you!

Would you expect Google's API to change often? My biggest concern with something like this is their /collect endpoint changing and analytics data stops being tracked.
About multiple AZ, I think we haven't used it in this case but it shouldn't change a bit, most of our AWS customers have AZ-aware deployments and it works great.

Since I see you're with AWS, you're welcome to help us debug this error 500 on population. I guarantee we'll update the blog if we'll see it works fine

I didn't get your surprise, I actually am 100% open about digging deep and come up with a uncommon use case that Dynamo can finally be a good alternative.

Believe me, I can come with examples that will put Scylla in a much better light.

We do offer a fully managed service on AWS with 4x-6x cost saving vs Dynamo where all the backup and auto scale is done by the Scylla team.
We switched because of Microsoft spying. My daughter literally came to me and wanted me to install Linux on her new laptop. So, there is incentive.
Two thoughts came rushing to my mind after reading this.

Disclaimer: I have not researched the scientific background of these thoughts. They are mere thoughts.

It made me uncomfortable to read about the autistic child at the end of the story. Was Autism more probable because of the closer genetic relationship of parents?

I was raised in southern India, and some of our families have a fascinating astrological tradition about not marrying someone from same "Gothram".

Is it possible that our ancestors knew that certain genetic combinations were unhealthy/undesirable even without a scientific background and adopted these rules for the society?
Yes I thought about it at the beginning.

But after reading the conditions of their program, I realize that I can't download the covers from Amazon if I want to use their program. Instead, I need to paste some code from them (inside this code you find the image, redirection...).

The problem is that I'm using a specific CMS, that allow me to dynamically showcase each book in an easy way, by using
the downloaded covers.
I could not do the same if I need to use their code.

I don't know if It's clear for you.
Is the sign up box for a mailing list so you'll be informed when it becomes available in your country?

For me (Germany, mobile Firefox) it's completely overladen with animations that showcase all the wonderful file formats you can store on your cloud drive.
No friggin way. Only having one user interface is what drove me away from Windows.

I'm not alone in my desire to have things my way, and to meddle with everything. Every time someone rolls out a new distro, a new package manager, or just a new DE, Its because someone wasn't satisfied with following someone else's lead.

All of us, you, me, the author of that article, Linus, and Stallman, have one unifying trait: "Not satisfied with the menu".

Collectively, Linux is never going to be satisfied with any menu.

The linux community exists as a perpetual diaspora. It was born from people wandering away from fiat design. The vast disjointed ecosystem happened because of this adventuresome spirit, and its delusion to think that any sort of 'one size should fit all' paradigm is going to quell that.

Or that it could be enforced.

"The 1FUI will require the backing of a major vendor as champion and enforcer to succeed."

I don't know what that author thinks, fifteen years later. I'd tell him that "Fewer options is never a solution to people who went looking for more options".

The Linux community has spent 27 years persistently solving a problem: Not enough options. 'One Frickin User Interface' is like trying to make a river flow uphill.

What network equipment these days might not reasonably be described as a computer, even a pretty powerful one by the standards of the time the CFAA was written?

And even if you don't think that's reasonable, how confident are you that a prosecutor couldn't convince a judge and/or jury it is?

First impression is the...

DE being the first thing a common user interfaces with, it holds a very important position, in my opinion. KDE and Gnome are very different w.r.t design principles, hence the polarization and debate. KDE and Xfce are not so different. I like Gnome, but have no use for it.

I agree with all else.

Also, I think, a real "free market" would resemble Linux ecosystem. No monopoly, small players and lots of choices. However, if we wish to compete in "real world", we need to do something similar to what you say.
Ordinary users install software, and then their beloved software only works in Ubuntu, but they got XYZ distribution with their computer, which just happens to have other package format, additional paths, .so versions, startup scripts and then everything falls apart without technical help.

This sounds like the kind of failure that happens when designers design structures to the hairy edge and then small mistakes in fabrication. assembly, or later design changes push the design into failure.
After like.. a couple of minutes I think I got it now. Tweetdeck is another popular app and this is kind of like it, but for Github instead of Twitter?

Really confusing title for someone who have no clue about what tweetdeck was, which I assume most of us don't. Still doesn't understand what it actually does for me since I have no clue what tweetdeck does?

Have you considered just using the OSX Terminal?

It's been very good since like at least OSX 10.5 (when they added tabs) or so.

I always wonder why people use other terminals (but don't seem to use any of it's special features).

I'd be curious to see if you think it performs better.
I use another niche keyboard layout (Workman) and have never really felt the urge to rebind anything in vi(m). I can definitely see wanting to rebind the standard nav keys which causes cascading changes and can cause you to lose a lot of the mnemonic advantages of the commands.

My solution to that issue is "just" alternate bindings which obsolete both the standard and vi navigation keys. At the home row, I have the arrow keys on my right hand and a "nav cluster" of my own devising (page up/down, tab left/right, workspace left/right) on the left.

Definitely not for everyone, but a possible way to have your cake and eat it too.
> You say this is a good thing, until you go to Europe and get treated terrible service.

Try Eastern Europe. You are expected to tip, and the service is usually atrociously slow (and not necessarily good in any other way either). Bad service culture is bad service culture. Where I live waiters are expected to perform their jobs properly just like everyone else.
