This document is amazing. I'm interested in working in quant trading when I graduate, and I can't believe I haven't found this before. Do you think if I wrote my own back tester and test strategy and put it onto GitHub it would be a positive in applications/interviews, or is that too basic to be seen as interesting/substantial?
Wow, never thought someone would pay attention to that! I was the original contributor (https://github.com/adtac/commento/pull/109) for that change, so happy to answer any questions.
Oath has one of the more nagging GDPR pop-ups. I like Slashdot, they at least give an opt-out option to access the content. On TC you are either opting-in or forbidden to access. And it's not like a technical necessity either. My company, ProcessOne, has a Wordpress blog that doesn't set any cookies or local storage. It uses Google Analytics and internal WP stats. But they are properly configured to not track, just measure.
A related note on prison systems designed as cheap labor: Solzhenitsyn argued that the Gulag system was not a Stalinist aberration from the Soviet ideal : Lenin himself had envisioned forced labor in an extensive network.

Solzhenitsyn remarks that the Soviet productivity in public works was dependent on this system of slave labor. [1]

I remember a discussion on the Linux kernel list years ago - and I believe Linus himself at one point insisted that names with less than three characters shouldn't be accepted, as they must surely be invalid. I pointed out that when I was a student there was another student with a full name consisting of just a single letter. No first name, no last name, just that letter. And the best thing - the student loans bank's system actually handled that. A couple of times each semester there would be wide fanfold prints on the billboard wall, with each student's name and information about each student's loan application. They apparently had no issues with his single-letter name, which means that the governmental name registration system didn't either. Even though he was a foreigner, and I've never heard about any native person with just a single name (not to mention just a single letter).

the news is a hoax. "It should be glaringly obvious why they are specifically not calling it a cryptocurrency wallet, and why they attempted to quiet rumours of such claims back in December.
Security: Galaxy S10 is built with defense-grade Samsung Knox, as well as a secure storage backed by hardware, which houses your private keys for blockchain-enabled mobile services.

Samsung Knox is not a cryptocurrency wallet. Don't spend your hard earned money for this feature. Personally, I think the wireless charging of other Qi devices would prove more useful than "Samsung Knox"."
While I understand the need for reliable and granular information on your users, it should technically possible to get most of that without selling your users off to third party services whose practies you never checked for yourself.

Furthermore it should be possible to sell ad space without directly embedding potentially malicious stuff from foreign whose content might change on such a granular level even you as the site owner cannot verify what is served to your visitors.

It is possible to use webfonts without loading it from a foreign servers.

It is possible to verify real users without training the AI models of monopolist webcompanies.

It is possible to link to your Facebook page without embedding a Facebook tracker in an icon.

It is possible to get comments without giving these to other parties.

These are all decisions you take when you decide whether you really value your users privacy.

Of course sometimes you don’t have much of a choice, but I saw sites which decided against all points raised above, and list about 30 trackers that are enabled per default and still claim they value their users privacy. So not only do you not value my privacy, but you also lie to me.

I avoid sites like these like the pest and will close that tab before reading anything.

Using a laptop with a nVidia graphics card, where they have a monopoly, would also make you rage at them.

I'm from SEA (Philippines) and work here remotely under a US consulting company. What I hate is it's like a stigma that because we're from a low-cost country we're paid much lower vs those from the West (around 50-70% less) considering I have the same set of skills for a 10yr Software Engineer. I think it shouldn't matter where you're from as long as you're doing a great job, money shouldn't matter.
That statement has become my no. 1 cue to leave the site immediately, or rather the "We value your privacy".

Yeah, you value it so much that you sell it on because it is actually valuable.

> A challenge - try to register a Google account without providing personal information.

I got my first Google (at that time just "gmail") account back when you couldn't just register freely - you needed an "invite" from somebody who already had an account.
At that time you didn't need to register any personal information. I did add a couple more accounts, mainly to keep high-volume mailing list registrations, and I still have one of those where there's still not any phone number registered.

Now it's different, I guess. And not in a better way.
See, your mindset is part of the problem.

I'm not in any way suspicious, just because I have been around the area where a crime has happened. As we know those blocks can be quite large so you will have lots of "suspects" whose only connection to the crime is being around a crime scene.

Then you question all of them and hope that something sticks with one of them. That is unprofessional and will lead to lots of problems once your neighbours get to know that you are suspicious of $crime because you were near $location.

So are there some specific symptoms one should look out for? Some comprehensive periodic tests? Maybe combined with some genetic pre-screening?

Given how important it can be to diagnose these things early, I think most people have no idea how they could or should do it - apart from maybe breast and testicular cancer.

For the same reason you won't be starting your bonfire with the big logs. It has a huge thermal mass and it takes a lot of external energy to make the fire self-sufficient.

It's also easier to repair, as you can just replace the damaged wood. With concrete that's not so easy, and in some cases it can be hard to even gauge how damaged concrete is from fire damage.
It's right there in the word. Eu-topia: "Not place". A place that does not exist. Trying to create utopia is futile because by definition it will never exist.
A question:

What is privacy issue exactly about ?
I see regular posts on HN about it. Is it about storing user-data on my end or sharing the user-data with third party or not taking the user consent.

P.S. - Trying to understand the root cause because I work with a startup building SAAS and would like to avoid such mistakes.
Because that is how this works. There is so much wrong about this service, this is just another tip of the iceberg.
The big difference between RapidJson and sajson is surprising to me. When I benchmarked them their performance was comparable: https://github.com/project-gemmi/benchmarking-json . Did you use RapidJson in full-precision mode?

By the way, nativejson-benchmark (from RapidJson) has a nice conformance checker that tries various corner cases. But you probably know it.
There are actually technical reasons GBM can't be used by nVidia.

Yes, but this is not about their eventual failure, but about their Dystopianism, which was part of their programme.
Lenin explicitly stated that his "Jacobian party would never reject terror, nor could it do so". Lenin espoused state terror and mass murder, justified by "the greater good". If that is not idealism causing Dystopia right here, I don't know what is.

Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Terror

However I managed to sort it out with the line customer service (even though some of the questions like "when did you first register your line account" I could only guestimate because it was so long ago).
> "C is one of extreme cases"

I would say it's the other way around.

We've had the knowledge and tools to build performant, scalable and highly maintainable systems for a while now. The learning curve is there, but that's part of the trade. We've been too occupied with reducing the entry barrier though - the end result being people shoving JSON into places it should have never been in.

JSON can absolutely be a part of a text editor's architecture - with areas that don't necessarily require near real time performance (think configuration, metrics). Anything beyond that - C structs would be a great way to go, and I don't see why there's a debate here.
Kinda, yes. It depends. All my partner needs is WireGuard installed and running. She doesn't need anything else installed, nor maintain it, nor even run Android. Either way, my solution isn't meant as the better option; it is meant as an alternative.
A lot of people have horror stories about what happens when they lose their phone number, etc. Concern can be extended to email address. I agree that it's a valid concern, there needs to be a better way to handle this. I am surprised that this happens with this crowd though. I would figure this crowd would update all their relevant stuff when their information changes. I normally do. But I know that definitely this would still be a problem for ordinary laypeople, so I'm not trying to blame the victim, and so I'm not sure what my point is. I guess this is just not an easy problem. I imagine identity theft would be rampant if the processes and requirements were more relaxed. I don't know what the solution is. :(
It's also really ugly.
All great points.

But yeah it was a joke! And basically I remember his joke having a tangential quip about choosing the shape based on the coordinate system you wanted to stay in.

And the point I got from it was that in modeling we often use crass approximations that are oversimplified in order to get a rough picture of what's going on with respect to certain dynamics, and that one shouldn't assume that the model resembles the full complexities of real life.

By the way, he was a cosmologist, if that helps you understand a little better why he was so flippant with the shapes.

"Every phone number has an area code."

Is the falsehood of the above statement sufficiently evident? I don't see it listed explicitly. In Hong Kong, for example, phone numbers are just 8 digits (+852 1234 5678). Some websites/apps insist on an area code, forcing one to arbitrarily split the number.
GBM doesn't necessarily have to be the answer here.

Just providing an implementation of EGLStreams support for mesa could be another.

Mah, my take on the resurgence of Nationalism is that it is simply a reaction/struggle to Neoliberal Globalization.

Previous attempts at developing an international counterpoint to Neoliberals’ “End of History” have either fizzled on their own or were smashed apart (GenovaG8, World Social Forum, Occupy.)

The latest attempt at interpreting displeasure for TINA comes from the Right, which in Europe has meant rejecting the “Global Village”, unearthing very unpleasant forms of chauvinism and racist rhetoric, longing for a “gilded age” of Nations (where Countries and People - as in, homogeneous ethnic groups - identify.)

And the most recent - and counterproductive - development has been the disdainful elitism of the EU technocrats and their political supporters (in the last 10–20 years, the former gained a lot of respect and power at the expense of the latter.) They are literally shouting “There Is No Alternative to us and our policies, you stupid crowd of gullible populists!”

I can’t see this going anywhere good
>> An individual has only one phone number

> Always feel these lists include things no human actually believes.

Well, somebody believes that. I can register my phone number with the local postal system, and, as shippers add a phone number to shipments, I can search for shipments to me by logging in to my post company account on the net, or via the Android app. The problem? I can only register a single phone number. But I have two numbers, and, for various reasons, different shippers must sometimes use one or the other, and not the same number. But I can't register more than one, and I can't register two accounts - b/c they also need my social security number, which is unique.
So I can only track a subset of shipments to me. All because somebody there (it's their own software) made the assumption that an individual can only have, or at least use, a single phone number. I did report this as a bug, with no understanding.
Those odds aren’t really that bad. Many poker hands have worse odds but no one is particularly amazed when they get them.

That being said, it does seem a little sketchy.

That'd be the idea of leaving it up to the content creator to decide. If somebody believes they personally benefit from a walled garden then they would certainly want to opt out of free licensing. If they're more after just getting the content out there, then they'd want to stay on a free license.

And I wouldn't just restrict this to video. Do you mind if I use your post elsewhere (with accreditation)? Probably not. I certainly don't. Yet in reality, it'd be unlawful for me to do so. It's copyrighted from the moment you write it. The only reason Hacker News can display it is because of this blurb from the terms on here:

By uploading any User Content you hereby grant and will grant Y Combinator and its affiliated companies a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid up, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, display, upload, perform, distribute, store, modify and otherwise use your User Content for any Y Combinator-related purpose in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed.

Transitioning to a free license would in no way directly negatively affect Hacker News. It certainly wouldn't negatively affect users. I expect most don't even realize what they write is copyrighted. And in any case users who want to avoid their comments being legally shared elsewhere could easily opt out.
>People who actually believe in those principles actually try to convince people

Then convince the offenders. Preaching to those who are already outraged or the uninvolved just fans their emotions too and moves further and further away from reasoned discourse.

>because trial by public opinion and media isn't a judicial process

This has indeed been a problem in the US for decades where anyone accused of any crime has their face plastered on the evening news for ratings. Never is there a retraction when released or upon acquittal. Not that it would do any good as the damage is irreparable.

Now that it's starting to happen to powerful people, the issue is finally being raised. I'm going to guess the eventual resolution will be some lawsuit system that makes publishing accusations of the powerful financially impossible while keeping open season on ordinary people.

I’m not sure what your point was, but GP’s was quite clear.
My point might have been unclear, but I didn’t doubt the usefulness of the stripes in even a slight way.

My critique was pointed at the wording. IMO it is not about why a trait evolved – there are many useless traits that envolved somewhere during special conditions and after these conditions change remain for a eternity or suddenly find a new usefulness in changed circumstances. This means pinpointing such a trait down to a single why is not a good representation of reality.

Are such observations valuable? For sure! Nature developed amazing strategies for all kind of things and not looking at these would be a waste.

I’d just be a bit more cautios with quick conclusions that involve meaning and answering why-questions, that’s all
Mostly its because of what they (as in advertisers and platforms that display ads and take data) can do with that data once they have it. They can figure out if you're moving house, suddenly interested in a new hobby, pregnant, or emotionally unstable and thus more vulnerable to suggestion. Once they have statistically guessed at these possibilities, "advertisers" can target you through social media platforms and google ads. They can try and nudge you at just the right moment, many people will be unaffected, but the advertiser hopes enough will be nudged into buying something, voting differently, or otherwise changing behaviour to get good bang for their buck.
