> I think the only way you'd see outrage here at HN is if the restart involved a real physical crash

Or if it were an American company. There wasn’t any outrage when Germanwings’s lack of attention to their suicidal pilot’s mental health even though there were significant warning signs before he crashed a plane into the Alps. Little outrage over Malaysian Air despite their pilot practicing his suicidal crash in the simulator months before. But for an American company, out come the pitchforks.

The fact that Airbus hasn’t yet had a 350 crash is just happy luck, but the issues are still just as outrage worthy. Where is the rage against the EASA that allowed such a glitch to pass certification? Where are the complaints against EASA outsourcing certification tasks[1] as the FAA was criticized about?

If this were an American company, you’d see plenty of outrage here and it would be related to some flavor of the United States not being leftist enough. (i.e. having lower regulatory strictness, lower taxes and thus an “undersized” bureaucracy. There is an undeniable and distinct anti-American sentiment on HN when it comes to issues like this. From everything such as climate, economic policies, consumer issues, defense, and even food and housing choices of Americans, the US always seems to be held in a persistant, low-level contempt, while almost anything European or Japanese gets a positive initial reaction. This might be a controversial opinion around here, but it’s my perception after being around the HN community for almost 7 years and watching it change from a place that celebrates entrepreneurship, business and capitalism to little more than a better moderated subreddit for those that view American startups and technology with derision and contempt. Actual Marxism ideas get upvoted and free market ideas get downvoted. Which is ironic because Marxism didn’t create anything that keeps many of us highly compensated while working on cool technology. This forum itself wouldn’t even exist were it not for a venture capital firm. Most of the tech stack we all use comes from entrepreneurship and innovation from the free market.

Since Airbus is essentially a state-owned enterprise in the practical sense, of course it isn’t going to result in any outrage — or at least not more than one of those dirty, evil, profit-oriented American corporations.

What's the significance of this announcement? What are the likely markets for this chip?
Interesting. Is the source code available, I did not see a link.
Good point, but the overall system could be adjusted any number of ways. The point is to communicate to the user, not throw numbers at them and let them decide what it means.
After few reloads load times are comparable, something around 1-2 seconds for both. Fastmail feels a little bit faster, but the difference is tiny. Gmail eat 205M and Fastmail eats 60M according to Chrome Task Manager, so yeah, difference in RAM consumption is huge. I have 16G RAM, so it does not bother me that much, but I could imagine that it could cause some memory-constrained computers to slow down significantly.
Thanks for the comments! I don't think the issue is ability so much as inclination. People see the web as something to consume rather than participate in so modifying a website doesn't cross their minds at all. I think with a little rebranding and some tweaking for non-devs devtools would be a fantastic way for anybody to start off slow, changing colors and so on, and gradually work their way up to more complicated CSS concepts, or even JS. I think if this functionality was right in front of people rather than being hidden deep in a menu behind the name Developer Tools, it's entirely possible people would take to it without much trouble.
Having systems that are not prone to buffer overflows? Having workarounds? Not sure. As far as specific examples:

> There are a lot of republicans: don't paint them with a wide brush.

I'm sorry, but no. Republicans are republicans the same as Democrats are Democrats. These parties have their own priorities and most votes fall along party lines anymore.

you could switch out Republicans for the word Conservatives and it would be more accurate.
So, how would you suggest it be titled or framed?

It's a new approach. There's a serious language issue here in that truly new things don't really have proper words or phrases for them yet. They need to be invented.

That's usually done by initially borrowing on existing concepts that are as similar in some way as possible.

This problem space also seems particularly thorny. Even people who have genetic disorders -- or who have a child with a genetic disorder -- may not understand some basics about how genetics works.
I just took the time to read through the entire style guide. I have been using CL since 1982 and still learned useful tips to keep in mind. CL really is an ageless language and is excellent for one person projects because it facilitates both getting things working quickly and a style of building small libraries of reusable code so future projects go faster.
> propaganda from defenders of poor performing language runtimes

Your comment is unnecessarily inflammatory.

> AWS bills can easily eclipse engineer salaries if you use it inefficiently.

If this happens, it is more due to architectural and algorithms problems than to the runtime of the language. There are many large applications written in Python, Ruby and PHP that run just fine.
I don't have any special knowledge on this, but from the announcement: According to reports, Black Iron [Xuan Tie] 910 can be used to design and produce high-performance end-to-end 5G chips, artificial intelligence and automatic driving.

So I guess they want to sell it as an alternative to ARM/nVidia/Qualcomm in those roles.

Many genomicists (such as Craig Venter and George Church) have already made their own genomes available to the public, so no issues there. And I doubt there would be any legal issues for making one's child's genome available either. Obviously there is the ethical issue because an infant can't give consent, but traditionally parents can give consent for medical issues.
Pretty much. After that it's all been wheels. Take the lenses, that's just a wheel with a piece of glass on each side, easy. The camera?

Moreso the fraud is continually committing actual securities fraud: lying about production numbers between quarterlies when Elon knows he won’t make the nums he is promising, lying about roll out dates of cars, lying about roll out dates of factories, lying about Tesla’s cash position and capital raise needs to the market immediately before raising capital, lying about take private deals at 420, lying about short sellers, lying about ex employees who speak out against production quality, lying about the safety of beta features, lying about the solar city takeover, lying about solar city roofs, lying about service times, lying about service costs, lying about resale values, etc. Fake it til you make it is unacceptable behaviour in securities markets.

Those are all actual securities fraud that if someone without Musks name committed, we would go to prison, yet Musk gets away with it almost daily.

I do think part of the reason that health service companies and insurance companies adhere to HIPAA is because it helps them keep their customers "locked in" to their product. It is often used as an excuse to prevent the digital transmission of health care data from one provider to another ("they gave me a CD with my data to give to my new doctor") and to prevent people from leaving "the network". These are companies that have very real incentives to avoid sharing data with each other, indeed, the more data each holds hostage the more powerful it becomes (hence the consolidation in the field).

That seems very different to me from how advertising companies function and make money.

Anything directly exchanged for money (like a gift card) is subjected to a patchwork of laws in the US. Unused funds are considered "breakage" and the merchants love it.

Some states prohibit fees while others require the breakage to eventually go to the state itself.

"Loyalty" rewards that are 'earned' or awarded are less regulated. Hence the airlines miles that expire.
An interesting outcome of the GPDR! Does the author have any recourse? Can they sue?
> If they'd make a simple HIPAA-like law

So, I've been working fairly intimately with HIPAA for close to 20 years, and I have to ask: on what planet can a law both be “simple” and “HIPAA-like”, even if you are only talking about the original 1996 Act and not all the subsequent additions?

> No one even tries to wiggle or weasel out of HIPAA violations

Yes, they do (well, for privacy violations, not, say, the Administrative Simplification side, but only because that side isn't enforced with any seriousness so they don't need to bother.) That's why we got things like HITECH to make that harder.
>An advertising company that "knows where you click", serves you customized ads and has full access to your bank account information strikes me as a step too far...

Here's the thing though, you realize you just described Walmart right?

I mean, the HN crowd probably doesn't overlap much with the market that Walmart serves with their financial services, but it's actually a significant portion of the american populace. For them, Walmart is the marketplace, the ad firm, and the financial services provider all in one.

So what everyone's asking is:

1 - why is there no attempt to go after Walmart? or big finance?

and

2 - why are we doing this anyway, because what we really want is a HIPAA-like law criminalizing the sharing of personal data for commercial purposes? Such a law would be more simple, and would stop more privacy violating behaviors in their tracks.

These are very reasonable questions, given the assumed intent of the proposed legislation.

I don't think it's that clear.

If you'd like to do topological sorting you'd use one algorithm if that topological sorting is for a set of fixed tasks. Online topological sorting (that is - delta-based algorithms) used in databases would use a different algorithm and will also have different performance constraints.

I could see that in the long run we'll eventually figure out how to abstract all of the "complete/delta" stuff. I don't think we have yet figured this out yet.

Construct Validity
I find that the human benefits of using something like protobuf outweigh the human benefits of using JSON. The machine benefits are just a cherry on top.

Protobuf - or, more specifically, proto files - gives you a central place where you can define and also document your formats. You can throw an ASCII-field UML sequence diagram in there, if you need to. And it's right there in the single file that everyone will use to communicate the protocol, and the protocol at least can't change in any structural way without editing that file, so it's got a much higher chance of being kept up-to-date, and of being read by the people who need to read it, than any of the available options for documenting JSON-based protocols.

All JSON gives you is human readability, and browsers can read it without a library. The 2nd, I don't care about with back-end services. The 1st I don't really care about at all, because command-line utilities and library functions for dumping protobuf datagrams to a text format are a dime a dozen.

> Arguably a design that permits a chunk of downtown to turn into a homeless encampment is "hostile" to the original purpose of a bench downtown, which is to be sat on by a range of different people in the course of the day.

If you are a city official, and you know that you have a significant homeless population that would like a place to sleep that's safer and more comfortable than the ground, which is the more hostile course of action?

a) Propose changes that would result in there being fewer homeless on the streets, or even fewer homeless overall (eg, more & better shelters, providing them with free housing as has been proven to work in multiple places, etc)

b) Propose changes that make your area unfriendly to the homeless so they go elsewhere and lower someone else's property values

c) Do nothing whatsoever

Blithely talking about the "original purpose of a bench downtown" ignores the fact that there are real people suffering, not just because of the policies that replace more standard benches with anti-homeless benches, but because of the mindset that underlies them: homeless are a plague to be driven out, rather than human beings who deserve our compassion and help.

It is a position of privilege to be able to sit and talk about "the original purpose of a bench downtown" as if that's much more important than people's suffering.
Side note curiosity... I noticed your html tags were WordPress and that your site resolved to Godaddy servers. So I looked at Godaddy's Wordpress hosting costs.[1] I see that Godaddy's $6.99 price tier says it's appropriate for ~25k monthly visitors.

It would be interesting to see what your traffic stats were that caused the "503 Service Unavailable error" and "Resource Limit Is Reached".

[To the downvoters, did I ask an inappropriate question about web hosting?]

[1] https://www.godaddy.com/hosting/wordpress-hosting

(I see that your live website is back up and the page transfers ~426kb. So multiply by 25k is ~10.7 GB of bandwidth. Following your comment about Netlify, I see that their $0 tier includes 100 GB of bandwidth.)
Internal doesn't necessarily mean "not public" though. "Private" is perhaps a better term.
I know many parents who feed their children a vegetarian diet without any health issues whatsoever. The cases I have read about in the newspapers were parents feeding their kids a vegan diet without a sufficient amount of calories and their kids literally starved from not getting enough energy to live. You can not live off eating only tomatoes and salad every day but you will be buff if you eat beans and lentils every day. Edit: A vegan diet requires more knowledge to get all the sufficient vitamins and these parents obviously fucked it badly.

> The central government has been claiming foreign meddling even when there is none: they claim that the protesters went to the street because of direct monetary support by the United States, which—frankly—is insulting to the million protesters. They made similar claims during the 2014 Umbrella protest already, without any evidence of foreign meddling even until now.

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/education-29723763/oslo-freedom-...

It's interesting how BBC added that clarification. At the height of Occupy Central, people were mocking a pro-establishment outlet (東網) for saying that Occupy Central was planned years ahead, in contact with people from the Oslo Freedom Forum. The outlet quoted that BBC Newsnight had initially reported on it.

I didn't bother correcting the people who were mocking that report, but 30 seconds on Google got me the video that clearly stated that the protest were planned years in advance with outside help.

I'm not going to make judgements on whether this constitutes as foreign meddling, but it isn't exactly free from foreign involvement either.

Similarly, plenty had brushed off the accusation thrown at Martin Lee, or Jimmy Lai for foreign involvement. A bit of a quick search on Wikileaks yielded plenty of communication between Martin Lee and the US reps in HK. Lai had also met the same reps, with one of his American lieutenants - the same lieutenant had stated in an American media outlet (the name slips my mind now) that he had not been in contact with the US government for 15 years, but that statement falls apart when you look at the date of the leaked cable.

How much "involvement" is probably something that we won't easily find out, but it isn't to say that there's no evidence of it beyond media coverage.
