Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. No doubt there's a lot of sketchy stuff going on, but also the fields are very wide with lots of "verticals" going on. Just cause one vertical might be built on a shakey foundation, doesn't mean all of them are (and the converse is also true).
Yeah, I think breadth-first is also better for student engagement. No more "what do I even need this for"-"two months pass"-"oh, that's what I need this for" cycles.

Was wondering. But it still looks so weird, this little shop in the midst of all those apartment buildings. Shouldn't puma have been a little larger by that time? And why not Adidas?
When someone uses the word “privilege” it’s a good indicator that the rest of the discussion is going to be a waste of time.
That's all well and good, until you realise the actual resources the DPA's are working under. Here in Finland it's a tiny organisation [1] and it was reported that they are completely overwhelmed with all the problems post-GDPR.

I've heard a very similar story but with a photo class at UF from James Clear's Atomic Habits. Still, very interesting outcome, although I can't say I was surprised based on the odds. Thanks for the share.

Because that is where the crosswalk is.
I think some of that is just nostalgia though - I mean it will be interesting to see how popular it is.

I started playing WoW when it first came out and stopped after a few months, but it seems bizarre to me that people would want to play an older version of the game presumably without all the modern fixes and QoL improvements.
I mean, sealed terrariums are and have been a known thing for a long time. If you look more into it, 50 years doesn't seem all that implausible. To me, the most amazing part is keeping something around for that long.
I have understood the discussion to be in the domain of computer security not in "who has a bigger ... own nuclear weapons" or whatever.

I can imagine that the former would be technically doable, if there were enough political support (e.g. also to demand on the highest level from the U.S. companies to provide for the technical support to the project which would be managed from Europe for Europe). But yes, politically, I understand there wouldn't be much readiness, because of the long term established practice of depending on the U.S. "solutions" even in these aspects.
It's a sickening idea, moreover, I think you're gravely mistaken if you think this is more about 'keeping litter off the streets behaviour', than total, arbitrary control of the citizenry, mostly for political purposes.

This is the authoritarians dream: 360, total control of people's lives, right out of a dystopian novel.

Second 'organized religion' is a world wide phenom, and is only one of many means by which people are socialized.
After reading this, it occurs to me that a side effect might be the EU getting its act together and provide some real competition to US tech dominance. I would consider that a good thing. Not sure that's what Trump intends...

Which is exactly why these kinds of developments should be worrying to the west. We're becoming less and less capable of having discussions and drawing hard lines when it comes to maturity and personal responsibility.

There's an agency here which employs developers for different sorts of client work. Some of them I talked to were doing Javsacript and others were .Net. The employer is Swedish.

Other employers are small businesses which have a need for a developer and pay the lowest they can get away with.

Cost of living is really low here. You can get cozy two room apartment for under $200 / month. There are a lot of "boarding houses" where you can get a room and a shared bathroom for $35 / month. A small studio apartment may be as cheap as $100 / month. Young adults here will often say with their family though unless they are working in a different city.
But what if they standardized on some compromise, as they tend to? That alone would set progress back, not foreward. Think if there are multiple orgs with billions to throw at it, the more the merrier. If there were just a few with a few million each, your plan makes much better sense. At some point the beuracracy of collectivism overshadows its usefulness.

Spot on. He could have said "hey, maybe you're right, privileged is a factor, and I was only thinking in terms of wealth." Instead he was defensive.

Public discourse is a great influencer, provided you have the ability to be influenced. If you don't, then you carve a rough path for yourself, whether you're small time or big time.

And in relation to programming, entrepreneurship, etc. getting basic experience doing "the full pipline" matters. Releasing _anything_ gives you experience in preparing _something_ for release, whereas if you tried making a perfect program you would miss out on what matters early on for an eventual release and be able to coordinate those for your next product.
I feel most of the comments here don't correctly lasso this on a fundamental level. This article describes a single data-point in a context where protectionism becomes a guiding policy principle. The world coalesces (will coalesce) in economic alliances with military power to back their interests, and it is an extremely dangerous path.

To people who want to point fingers at individual players, saying "it is the fault of Trump, (China, Putin or whoever)" please don't, unless you want to be part of the warmongering hysteria that lies ahead.

It's not anyone's fault, this is just the result of economic and political history. What we need is to make sure this doesn't end in a man-made catastrophe, larger than anything hitherto.

Childish? Mobs of people regarding politics? You don't say.

Are you thinking of recombinant growth hormones? Milk naturally contains growth hormones, no matter which country the cow resides in, which is what the parent is referring to.
Exercise, especially weight lifting and HIIT, raises testosterone levels naturally in the body which will have a definite impact on your confidence and self-esteem levels. Even further, add a good diet and try to lose fat, and you'll get the added benefit of having less of the testosterone convert to estrogen and more converting to DHT, which is the "feel good" androgen.

Ah no. The EU countries have agreed, that the home country of the organization (not the country of the data subject) will take the lead in any GDPR enforcement.

Facebook in EU is registered in Ireland.

Ireland is making a mockery of GDPR, slow walking investigations while paying lip service to GDPR.

Ireland is a leech. They've figured out that they can attract global companies through very lenient tax auditing and (now) GDPR enforcement. A little tax is better than none. As such they are undermining the rest of EU when it comes to actions against companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft.
I've prototyped this mentally too. If I were going to do it, I think I'd write myself a modification to a Wiki engine that can detect when links only go to simpler things, and highlight those. (You don't want to "ban" links going up to harder things, but you may want to isolate them in a dedicated section or something.)

You might be able to bootstrap off of wikipedia content.

The thought that provoked this in my own head was the observation that Wikipedia is virtually useless for learning anything mathematical because so many of the links on any given article head "up", rather than "down", and a casual user can't figure out which is which.
It could very well be that the previous owner was a collector who bought the machine from Puma, and set it up in that building to tinker with.

Sorry to see your unhappy with Google Fi - I switched from previously having Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T - and what a difference.

Now that said, the one major observation I see about Google, Apple, Amazon, Yahoo, etc. is that Google does not have a lead Architect for Google products and services. The company is certainly leading the charge with technology - yet there is no one taking the charge of bringing everything together.

This reminds me of the early days of Apple - remember the Newton? Wow a computer you could hold in your hand - and the tech community were all wowed - yet the consumer didn't understand what to do with it - they were not coders and until it did something it was just another piece of tech. Then 3Com came along and created the Palm Pilot - and the handheld computer took off.

That said - I believe this is why Google like Microsoft and Apple have such a customer service problem - they have simply become tech company - customers are just a part of their products and don't receive the attention of an advocate within the company's product development team.

Agreed, I founded a UK company on a whim one day so I can bill for some freelancing work. It made a few thousand a year and everything was hassle-free, basically "pay $50/yr and file some stuff that tells us you're active, and when you get large enough to afford a good accountant they'll take care of it".
> Then, for a small subset of data, I manually verified that all results were correct.

This could have been automated with a full join. with A as queryA, B as queryB select A full join B on all applicable fields where A is null or B is null. Alternatively, you could also do: A except B union all B except A. Either way you get the rows in A that aren't in B and rows in B that aren't in A -- no manual check needed, and you could have run that on the entire set instead of or in addition to counting rows.

Filing for a company was trivial when I did it, but not many banks would give it an account (NatWest/Barclays/etc wouldn't). Has this changed?
Exactly. In that in one of them, your landlord isn't likely to cover you, and is likely to kick you out, but your parents probably would cover the shortfall if they are able (at least for a couple of months). And if they aren't, you'll just go back home.

On the other side, many young people end up having to help their parents make rent. They don't have the position to take on any of their own risk.

As a counterpoint, I'm pretty senior and I've been pretty successful working remotely ... but then I've never been able to rely on charisma anyway. Having some senior people remote works, fully distributed works, but I do have a hard time seeing how things could work if there are a lot of less senior people in the office without a "critical mass" of seniors to guide them. This is very similar to what happens when people try to outsource development and find that the people they're outsourcing to just don't "get it" enough to make good progress without constant and detailed oversight.

$20 for a browser extension that blurs text on a page! Yikes!

This strikes me as the sort of generic productivity tool that might be worth a buck or two, but for $20, it had better blur text AND file my taxes for me.

I would be really surprised if there were not free extensions that did effectively the same thing. And if there are not, someone could probably whip it up in a day or two, and there goes your business.
Why would they set those benchmarks? Dev benchmarks are things like delivery schedules, development budget and capability trade-offs.
1. No, you don't know what you're exposed to. There are multiple ways to get data on you regardless of uBlock Origin or non-Android OSes.

2. No, it doesn't matter if you use Android (what does using Android have to do with Facebook?) or not, Facebook can and will collect info on you through other means: analytics, logins, sharing etc.

3. You have very little to no idea of how pervasive tracking is especially in the case of large social platforms that everyone integrates with.
I would say that having people feel that it is acceptable to inform on their neighbors is a key element of a proper totalitarian society.

The reasoned response to climate breakdown is to start taking it seriously at a global level.

AGI could help with that by culling humans, or at least seriously constraining human behavior. We're perfectly capable of doing that ourselves, although such behavior tends not to be popular.

Realistic scenarios in which AGI solves climate change for us, in time, seem highly unlikely.
In the first example, isn’t it kind of a problem to have a bunch of different functions for calculating pay? Seems like it would be easy for the accounting department to end up with a different version than the HR department that actually disburses the money, which would cause all kinds of hell when trying to audit your accounts. If one team or department owns the function, you end up with more interdepartmental communication if another team needs to change it, but you won’t end up with Accounting and HR disagreeing on how much employees should be paid.
This looks like a fantastic library for updating nested data structures -- something that's definitely been a pain point in writing Clojure.

I wrote a library that complements this nicely -- it's for transforming one deeply nested data structure into one that has a different shape, for example:

(f/transform {:a [1 2 3] :b [2 3 4] :c [5 6]} {k [vs]} {vs #{k}})
=>
{1 #{:a}, 2 #{:a, :b}, 3 #{:a, :b}, 4 #{:b}, 5 #{:c}, 6 #{:c}}

I’m in the process of having an upcoming senior in high school - yeah I’m doing my research right now and know what the current costs of colleges are in GA.

Our plan is just what I outlined.

- a two year school that is part of the four year program at a local college where all of the credit transfers.

- staying at home for the first two years and we will pay for her car + car insurance.

- She will work part time just for spending money and incidentals.

- Since we won’t have to pay for room and board, she can get student loans that should cover tuition.

- That gives us four more years to get things together to help pay the student loans after she graduates (step daughter, I had no reason to worry about putting a child through college until 7 years ago).

I have a relative, whose parents just did something similar. He went to my alma mater for two years and with my encouragement, he transferred to a state school in Atlanta for a better curriculum and better networking opportunities.

They were in a position to save for his college, but his parents also put limits on the type of degree that he could get and the amount he could spend.
> HN has a very strange hate/love relationship with modern chat systems.

> Slack/Discord/whatever: they are proprietary, they are closed-source, they are bad.

> IRCCloud (which is proprietary, closed source etc.): oh, it's so good, use it.

Who exactly is "HN"? How did you even decide "HN" has opinion X or Y?

I'm fine with Discord because its mostly used for gaming. Given the previous options (Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, Mumble, Skype), it is miles better. And of these, only Mumble is fully FOSS. A clear disadvantage is however privacy-related, but for gaming that isn't a huge issue.

What I'm not fine with is being forced to use Slack for work-related material. You don't want such sensitive data centralized. You want to host such yourself, or have the private keys yourself.

IRCCloud, whatever it is, probably does not have the same amount of users as the previously mentioned two. But if it uses the IRC protocol (which the name suggests), at least that is open and there's no vendor lock-in like with Slack/Discord. Which, given that Slack is used for commercial endeavors, is worse for Slack.
All generalizations are bad. :D

You say "HN has a ..." but I use Discord for fun and have no problem with it.

There's no one type of person on HN. :)
This is exactly my story. Luckily second semester freshman year I figured things out and now I'm still on track to graduate on time.
When the text is blurred you can sometimes still find out what letters were blurred. I think it would be smart to replace any any blurred text with random characters with the same length. Only then can you be sure the sensitive information is actually hidden.
$15 if you read the copy atop, I don't think that's so steep.
I don't mean to be overly critical of your product, as I hate when people do that on HN

However, you should know blurring is not a secure way of censoring information, as each character is still sort of recognisable, and programmatically reversing the blurring of known alphabets and typefaces is not that difficult (for numbers, you could blur each number from 0-9 and look at the resulting images)

This is even more obvious in the text that includes caps and descender characters (q/g)

Maybe you should consider a black rectangle instead?
Lack of conversation persistence is a real problem. It's 2019 and people expect to have it. If messages disappear into the ether while I'm not actively connected to the room, it's not going to work for participating in a group conversation.

Yeah you can set up some always-connected relay on a server and bounce your client through it to still get the conversation backlog when you weren't online, but it's not reasonable to expect an average computer user even have an always-connected machine to run it on, let alone actually get a relay working.

If they can use Facebook they could use IRCCloud, but that's $5/month and Messenger/WhatsApp/Discord/Slack are free.
