I gave this some more thought, and I think you're wrong. Wrong in the sense that Chomsky and Herman did focus on these things. One of the five filters is "Flack". In this filter "wrong" opinions are given flack from institutions with power. The focus on government comes from them being, arguably, the most powerful institution.

The propaganda model does account for other non-governmental and non-media influences. This is talked about in the animation Al-Jazeera made.

Show HN - third party risk wrt security or gdpr
The goal of this project is to bundle a lot of information around third-party risk for GDPR and security related use.

I do a lot of GDPR and information security consulting for B2B SAAS companies.
These companies become interested in GDPR/security at the moment they are having some success with selling to enterprises, as these enterprises have a procurement process in place with (often very thorough) questionnaires on security and privacy related concerns.

I end up having to chase down information spread around the web in order to fill out these questionnaires. So that's the reason behind this: a reference guide for gdpr & security related information.

* Actual website: https://third-party-risk.herokuapp.com/ (it's still rather empty right now, I'll add more data in the coming weeks)

* Github: https://github.com/ddccffvv/third-party-risk

Comments/remarks/suggestions very welcome! As well as help with the code, design, chasing down data...

Let me know if you want me to add your company (either here or the email on the site).
Why is this downvoted? The nachdenkseiten article has a lot of information and is certainly a better source than what I could find.

>Often I find it hard not to view such exhortations cynically (I suspect an ulterior motive when someone like Ben Shapiro urges quiet about a mass slaying of Muslims), but I generally think it makes sense.

You're accusing ben shapiro of having an ulterior motive for why he wants to be quiet? Are you suggesting ben shapiro supports this terrorist attack or is somehow ideologically or literally linked to the attack?
It's like other people are real, or something.
The consumer gets an equivalent service for cheaper, that is like literally the definition of consumer benefit in economics. If you truly believe that X is better than iX than you can pay the extra money for X, but if iX is just as good and is cheaper than X the consumer benefits because they can spend less to get the same service.
The current Prime Minister introduced the Investigatory Powers Bill (now Act) when she was in the role of Home Secretary. This act requires all ISPs to record which domains users visit for one year, and provide access to that data without a warrant to a large number of government bodies including the Welsh ambulance services.

This act has been ruled incompatible with EU law.

The UK is much worse than the EU when it comes to this sort of thing.
There's a "simple memoization" version of fibonacci that takes more space than `fibsViaUnfold`. I think the term "simple memoization" (and equivalents used in these comments) are a bit too imprecise to be useful.
> “I think we have a good chance of achieving this”

That's still not promising anything though. It's setting expectations, but failing to meet expectations is not the same as failing to meet promises.

If I buy a movie ticket I can get disappointed about the film being bad (failing to meet expectation of enjoyment), but I'd get upset if they cancelled the screening after I bought a ticket (failing to meet promise of viewing).
It depends too on your workload and how efficient your software is. If you have a bursty or unpredictable workload then you’re buying servers for your peak, and paying for wasted hardware. Every time I’ve done or seen the calculations in those circumstances it never makes sense to buy. Bursting into the cloud comes up, but that’s gets complicated very fast too.

14 cents per ride is nothing! Maybe 1% of the cost of a ride.

Maybe they could save a bunch by colo or something else. But would 14 cents per ride really matter at all for their competitiveness. I’m not going to notice a 14 cent difference even if I do bother to price compare Uber with Lyft.

This is a VC fueled market. It isn’t really about small margins of this size.
> This is pretty funny considering the connotation of Shakespeare's works at the time.

Well that's because, of course, at the time Shakespeare was highly accessible! The language was everyone's native language, and the cultural references were current.

Today it's basically a foreign language that requires a lot more effort to comprehend at a reasonable level, and a ton of cultural allusions that aren't part of our background anymore.
Looks like a veiled millennial hit piece. I don't know anyone in my age group repelled by classical music! One of my favorite musicians does classical music and tours with a folk/country singer. Let's see them wedge that into a box.
How many successful businesses have you launched doing things “the right way”?

The point is there are many paths to success. Maybe candy japan didn’t do things the way you think they should be done (it’s frankly rude to refer to template hacking as cargo cult programming; we’re talking design here, not programming). But despite their “primitive approach”, they’ve been successful in multiple ways.

OP has taught me quite a bit with their experience, whereas your negative tone has taught me nothing except you believe you know how things should be done.

Honestly, you sound like a know it all.
I don't think that's just the US - fairly common in the UK, at least in some circles, to be perversely proud of an ignorance of basic calculations.
I work in the simulation industry, and once a simulator is certified for training, you cant "update it" to another model. The customer has to buy a new 737 MAX sim. However, since the 737ng and 737 MAX are common type (meaning that in the eyes of the authorities, if you're licensed for one, you're licensed for both) customers aren't REQUIRED to get a 737 MAX sim granted that they already have a 737ng sim.

Just to clarify: you can udpate a simulator and recertifie it. e.g. in regard to the motion or visual systems etc etc. But to transform a simulator into another aircraft would be beyond economically sane.
The one thing I am missing from that summary is a mentioning of what happen when John Bain died of cancer several years later. Several anti-GG people celebrated the death days after it was announced, which in the context of all that was said and done around GG was to me one of the worst behavior anyone committed.

The only good thing is that companies has been less acceptable for such behavior. One developer from bioware got fired for it, and it likely contributed when an other developer at Anet got fired.

At what point do we say that modern society is the problem, and not the children's behavior?

Do we really want to teach people that their innate nature is wrong, and that exposing it will be met with anger and wrath, because it is more important to... keep on going in a rat race to pay rent to landlords and capital owners?
I'll concede that one trip to the ER was a bit hyperbole. That fact is though, that medical emergencies have a way to royally screw you over in a way that is unheard of in most European countries.

Personally, with a background in a European country, a personal bankruptcy is something that only happens to the most financially careless/gambling addicted of people. In the US it seems to have become a sad part of a lot of peoples' coping strategy if a medical emergency arises.

Got cancer? No retirement for you I guess.
I think it depends on your level of C++ experience. Very experienced and effective C++ developers often will have internalized a lot of the rules of the borrow checker, possibly without consciously realising it. Less experienced developers will not have run into the problems caused by not following these rules because a lot of the time you can get away with it, and/or they haven't associated these habits with the bugs they tend to cause. It's a fairly common theme for people who have learnt rust to report that it has made them a better C++ developer.
I've been a middle and high school math teacher for 25 years, mostly to at-risk students. Almost all of them have what we call "math anxiety".

By far, the most common reason I see it is how they were treated by math teachers. One student had a teacher who made students go up to the board and write their incorrect solutions on the board, and they had to stay there until they "figured it out". Many have been told they were stupid, or told they would just never be able to learn. That experience is way more common than many teachers and administrators want to admit.

There's also the pacing issue. Many students get lost in a math class at some point in their early learning career, and then there's no real way to get caught back up. This compounds with teachers who don't really understand math, who are just teaching algorithms and rules and don't know what to do with students who are lost.

I've had good success just by meeting each student where they're at, and letting each student progress from where they are. I always look for what students do understand, and build on that understanding. It typically takes students one or two classes being treated well to start really recovering from that earlier anxiety.
I would put more stock in the American Colonial side, rather than living memory side. Western cinema is after all western biased.

I'm biased anyway, being British and not upper class.
You can't control those walls though. With email, you can craft the most convoluted rules and sure it's not always clear how to get a rule to do what you want, but you have total power in building up your own walled garden to your personal preferences, not whatever preferences are studied to get the most ad revenue and waste the most amount of your time without wasting so much that you get frustrated and leave the platform.
I'm sure it predates that. Shere Khan in the 1967 jungle book for example.

>and which "purpose is to allow or encourage specific illegal actions".

The purpose of tor is not that, which makes it a weird clause. Perhaps something like "knowingly facilitates illegal activity" would fit, still not great wording, writing legislation is hard.

>"accessibility is restricted due to specific, technical precautionary measures"

Maybe it's a translation issue but having years of reading legal-technical documentation I can't quite parse this: all access to computer services are technical and specific, so far just leaves 'precautionary' to carry any meaning -- who is taking what precautions in setting up tor exit-nodes [in the view of this phrasing?].

Oh man this is me with so many things. I'll hear about some new-to-me concept, start reading up on it but get stumped by an avalanche of new information and drop it. Months later I'll get the same bee in my bonnet, but suddenly the same articles I found impenetrable parse cleanly.
That sounds like a reasonable explanation for the reason behind the law, but vague wordings are still problematic, more so when it comes to any complex technology. You don't want a vague law that could be reinterpreted as making it illegal to provide end-to-end encryption for non-financial or other legally protected data (the argument being that if there is no need for it from a business or legal perspective, then it must be encouraging illegal activities as why else would it need to be encrypted).
Well, each driver needs a mobile+plan, at ~$100/month fully amortized. Definitely does <1000 rides/month.

I started this comment as a joke. But now i am not so sure.
It's worth seeing how GamerGate describes itself... then looking at the top posts of the last month on KotakuInAction. They are not similar.
I guess my question would be... There's thousands or tens of thousands of businesses not meeting their stated goals. Why do you care so much about tearing down this particular one?

Perhaps you follow $tslaq on Twitter or perhaps not. Take a look. They're so toxic and focused on negativity around Tesla. It's senseless. If I don't believe in a business, I just ignore it. With Tesla there seems to be people who are religious or obsessed with hoping that they fail. That's pretty weird considering that pretty much all of humankind benefits from a better world should they succeed.

I wasn't pretending. You overestimate your communication skills. Have a look at your original comment and how much it is assuming that isn't being communicated to its audience.

What is this conversation supposed to be? Is it a play on lines from a movie or something? Who is it meant to be between? Who does the first speaker represent? What about the second? What is the context of the conversation? Why does that conversation relfect something true about the real-world situation? Is the conversation meant to be some kind of metaphor?

Because you know the point you're trying to make, the meaning of your comment is clear to you. But to someone who doesn't start out knowing what that point is meant to be, they don't have anything to go on.
That seems implausible given that everyone I’ve talked to about graffiti since moving to Berlin regards it as “not a crime” (unless its removal necessarily causes damage to the property).
Contracting at medium to high rates is great if you want to bootstrap your own startup. I use it for that purpose myself. A few of the best reasons.

1. It allows you to work for 6-12 months and save up enough to take 2-3 months off to work on your startup — something that’s often required to build a version 1 of your app.

2. Contracts tend not to include the usual clauses such as "We own the ip to everything you invent, even in your spare time." And if they do they can be removed without difficulty.

3. It’s extremely forgiving of job hopping and spending short amounts of time with a company before leaving to work on your startup.

4. Contractors are usually not expected to work overtime, eating into side-project time.

On a different note, your use of the term "side project" instead of product, app, startup or business suggests you don't see this side project as a business or potential business. Maybe that's why your focus is on the money and not the business you might build.

I've always felt that "side project" is a terrible phrase to describe the early stages of a new business, even if you're starting that business while working a day job.

In one word: populism. Wikipedia has a good definition:

"an ideology which presents "the people" as a morally good force against "the elite", who are perceived as corrupt and self-serving."

So in Hollywood blockbusters those who listen to classical music are identified with the elite, which by the enjoyment of something "complicated" sets itself apart from the good common people who pay the ticket to see once again Good triumph over Evil.
Looks a touch more complex in China:

To the surprise of many in the industry, sedan sales in May leaped up by 12.1 percent on the same period last year to 940,000 units, while the SUV segment seemed to lose momentum, growing 6.5 percent year-on-year to 761,000.

The SUV segment had retained a much faster growth rate though when the first five months this year were combined. Its sales grew 11.7 percent from January to May to 4.22 million while sedans rose 4.8 percent to 4.73 million in the same period.

"It is understandable that SUV sales growth has slowed a little bit after years of surging ahead," said Xu Haidong, an assistant to the association's secretary-general.

My point is that people making 200k-1000k are closer to middle class than billionaires. So it makes sense to me why they don't group themselves with the billionaires.

Anyways, I think the answer is just based on how you want to define middle and upper class.
Even if a story is set within imperial (or republican) Rome, the whole idea of an ascendant Rome is based on the colonies and provinces. So showing the Roman upper classes (or even the wealthier urban merchants) being "Romans" means implicitly that they are the top crust of a vast empire feeding them wealth and power.

That leads to 3) above pretty easily, since in the mind of the hegemonic movie-producing culture (Americans), their archetype of a foreign empire was, of course, the British (English).

A more interesting criticism would be hearing how, say, the Spanish language is rendered in Latin American films about Rome or other historical empires. Do they put a Yankee accent in the Spanish language as such a marker? (I suspect it's probably more of a continental Spanish, though.)

Would be interesting to know of other non-Anglosphere cultural products that use implicit (e.g. American accents) cues of the new Rome to denote the class status of historical depictions. Global HN'ers?

Yeah, I actually think the advanced nuclear companies should say they don't need things like Price-Anderson to cap liabilities. They're really that safe, and the designers are that confident. Doing so would demonstrate that level of confidence.

The fair comparison, though, is: what's the cost of global warming, and who will insure against it once fossil fuel emitters are held liable?

Also, if we looked at the latest research on low-dose radiation effects and really let that sink in, we'd spend far less on the cleanup of near background dose stuff after the few accidents that do occur.
I also have a burner gmail for account sign ups, but it's not hard to regain control of your inbox and direct people to use a email you regularly check. I bet you have an email listed on your resume, after all. A good rule is to look for "unsubscribe" in the body of the email, and throw those emails into a containment folder. If you ever wanted to scroll through those and unsubscribe one by one, it will be easier to do so, or you can just ignore those emails since they will now be isolated from your inbox.
Yes, enjoying popular classical melodies it pretty much universal, if it's already playing.

But how many people actually pick the Magic Flute when they're in the mood to listen to music? It's just not that popular.

And when most seats at a classic music concert are ~$100 or more, with only a few rows in the ~$50 range, I'm 100% sure that skews rich. A night out for the family will be hundreds of dollars. It's not a $15 movie ticket.

A few possible answers and solutions:

1) People who live in urban residential areas in Europe don't typically drive very far on a daily basis. So charging doesn't have to be as common a thing as it is in the US.

2) Charging stations at work places. I don't know the numbers, but I would assume a decent percentage of Europeans who drive to work have a parking lot at their jobsite.

3) Highway rest stops. The "travel plaza" type of rest stop is common in europe and could accommodate intercity travelers.

4) Battery swapping technology may help down the road.

Cool, I’ll check these out. I’ve been conceptually into generative design, but haven’t played around yet. Clearly OpenSCAD will be a huge uphill battle there, if useful at all.
