Applying GDPR based on the country hosting the webpage would be a massive loophole, nullifying the law completely.
I think it works well as it is. If websites wants to access the EU market they have to comply to GDPR, but they are free not too... To bounce back on your point, as EU resident myself I haven't had any issue with accessing websites that would not want to implement GDPR.

Depends on the marketing strategy, most likely. But I like GP's point about undervaluing programmer time. It is non-free and everyone down to the programmers themselves tend to grossly underestimate its cost.

Humans are kind of expensive to keep alive and happy enough to program willingly

/That last statement had more caveats than I wanted...
It's authoritarian that American web sites can't do the bare minimum to comply with privacy laws in the EU? I worked on some GDPR integration, on a publishing site no less (considering most of the time I noticed publishing sites being unable to be visited when I was overseas), and it took us all of one sprint to do so correctly. It's laziness not difficulty.

It's also not the EU's fault that people in the United States (I say this as an American) are ignorant enough to associate Norway with the EU when it's not a member. The effort involved to actively block people from viewing websites could have been pointed towards GDPR integration.

Edit: You know the real reason some American sites aren't complying? Because they looked at their European analytics and decided that it wasn't worth their effort.
I just tried to run that command on by 4TB HDD and 0,05% took 5 minutes, or like 7 days of continuous operation for the entire drive. And I suspect that it's just the fist pass, so 1.5 months of drive scrubbing. Is that expected behaviour?
Most of the people on the hospital side of this are medical professionals with active licenses and degrees, so finding another hospital job would not be an issue for them. I'm not sure about the insurance side, but I think it's the same situation: they employ medical professionals to review claims to dispute the care given.

The non-medical personnel should also not have any issues finding new jobs. Executives, accountants, managers, and IT people have cross-industry skillsets.

We make a large, enterprise-targeted app at my startup. Fullstory has accelerated our search for product-market fit by allowing us to make some significant discoveries in how users use our app.

We could have made all these discoveries by properly instrumenting our code with our own tracking framework. That said, Fullstory provided us a big bang for our buck in [time spent : value provided]; half-day implementation led to all the usage info we could need.

We've gone as far as creating a recurring "Game Tape Friday" meeting where the whole development team sits down and watches 5-10 user sessions together to record bugs and possible UX improvements.

We're not a small website so this anecdote may be of limited value to you, but I would personally give up syntax highlighting before I would give up Fullstory.

I've already seen the answer to this (and I get zero money for mentioning this). You have some software that takes periodic screenshots and then when your day is done you roam through those and can label time segments appropriately. There's at least one software product that more or less does this, and I would use that if I had to bill based on fragments of hour.

I think she meant that in a very straightforward way: that he was the first US president to represent the African American citizens of the US in any real way.

I think reduction of friction can be beneficial here, elixir for example integrates documentation and tests - so you write you examples and tests right there, you can write gnarly tests with regular testing suite, but giving documentation code value I think increases inherent value of writing documentation for developers.

random thought: maybe if enough wars are lost, they'll stop practicing war and try to get their needs met by other means.</randomthought>

I think Norvell B. De Atkine might have missed out on some key details due to his status as an outsider. Especially if every Arab with whom he interacted truly suspected he was a zionist spy. It's difficult to overcome that kind of paranoia and the skills for doing so are not taught in the U.S. military. Also, it sounds like a lot of these people are being forced to participate in the wars, and that's just a recipe for failure. Guns are scary it takes a lot more than a draft to convince someone to stick around for that shit.

Another thing to consider is that the rituals used to build loyalty in the U.S. military are kind of a secret. Generally, only the ones participating in the rituals get to know what they are. The content is not entirely intuitive either: imagine being told to sleep in a 1-meter wooden cube in the woods; ants crawl into the cube and bite you; at bedtime, human chanting is played from speakers inside your cube, alternating between quiet and deafening over five minute intervals until the sun comes up. This is meant to build unit cohesion. It's weirdo shit devised by psychos to break human minds.

Also, the article is called "Why Arabs Lose Wars" but half of the examples he initially cites are wars in which both sides were arab: Egypt v Yemen, Syria v Lebanon, Iraq v Kuwait. Arabs won those wars... but I guess that wasn't worth noting because the losing side was arab?

Those were just some details which stuck out to me while I was reading the article. I acknowledge that about half of this article is objective, fact-based observation and those observations were genuinely interesting. I think that his evidence is inconclusive simply because of the context in which his observations were gathered.
That's more or less what I meant, except with utility companies instead of people. Apologies if I made it sound fancier. Having lived in the US and France, I think the places where cheques were used a lot was in bills-type things. That's why I brought this example up.
Out of interest, where did you hear this from?
Insurance plans are incredibly expensive because not only are you paying for legitimate health-care expenses, you are also paying for:

* hospital administrators to interact with insurers
* insurers employees/administration
* ICD9/ICD10 coding overhead
* and add 10% for the maximum legal profit health insurers are allowed to make

I have to think that removal of those four elements from health insurance costs would result in significantly lower health care cost outlay in the US.

Routine care can be cheap. We really only need coverage for catastrophic care - broken bones, herniated disc, acute injuries, etc., etc., and routine care benefits for those so impoverished as to not be able to afford it. IMO, of course.
I'm not being flippant. It's not a question of what was required for you to register. Your requests to this web server are very likely logged, therefore subject to search by law enforcement. Depending on the details logged, your browser fingerprint will very likely uniquely identify your device and could be matched.

You should also understand that authorities do not seek that kind of evidence for violent crimes in the moment. Intelligence services capture massive amounts of traffic for future investigation. What you post today could be evidence for an offense you can't imagine ten years from now.
I’m certainly wrong here but my understanding is that any crime happens because of two main factors:

1. Someone is not thinking straight. It could be from an ill, a temporary loss of judgement and other related causes.

Technology could aid in identifying these scenarios and trying to prevent such occurrences by treating the disease.

2. People think they can get away with it. Or, in other words, the risk of getting caught is smaller when compared to the benefit of the crime.

In that case technology could be used to avoid that people get away with crimes, thus making it high risk to choose that option.

But still, even when the majority of crimes are punished (and they are not) there will still be some crime because there are people who think that getting something that they don’t have is worth more than capital punishment.

I was born in Brazil where only 2% of murders are solved. Crime is not bigger than it is right now because people, to some extent, are inherently good. There is no expectation of punishment there.
It's the "without evidence" claim that got this flagged. On a daily basis, major news organizations anonymously source articles but don't put "without evidence" unless it conflicts with their political narrative. There is plenty of evidence that tech has a bias.

Instead `git` has sometimes directly got some of the high level commands and polish that was expected to be meant for porcelain tools.)

This is the crux of the problem. Sometime ago- the wise people in power decided to push the responsibility of medical coverage onto employers. Funny they chose that instead of housing or food- but thats what it is. Now everyone has to find a job that has health benefits- but employers are finding ways around it

I've worked at a number of different companies over my career from education/learning, government and private companies including banking. Nowhere have I seen more wasteful spending than in/with govt agencies by a large margin. This money ALL comes at the expense of the populous and we spend more and get less as citizens than most countries with similar or smaller tax burdens.

The difference is people volunteer their money to private companies and charities... that's not the case with the government.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this. It's a work-around, not a solution. There is a legal duty, when at sea, to render aid as necessary to ships in distress. If EUFOR or the coastguard don't have an asset nearby, this doesn't absolve the responsibility, it just transfers it. We're going to end up with commercial shipping being diverted to render aid instead (as long as they've already left Libyan waters). It's not solving anything, it's just shifting the cost and burden.

Ask HN: Effective customer management system for SaaS startup?
We are building a business data mashup for Business intelligence for SME. We are a team of two. While the core is almost ready, we haven't done anything on the client management system so far. That includes- payment, customer management, customer support,referral etc. I have experience with Magento customization, but it seems overkill for managing only 3-4 plans and expected gradual increase of clients to at most few thousands in the near future. However, the standard security practices are most important as the clients are mostly companies.

That makes me wonder- Do people build these from scratch? What are the effective customer management systems out there to handle sell, client management, and support for SaaS? possibly open source?
What is the future of financial identity?
Great design, I really like the simple UI and UX.
I've tried using Google to find places to eat, but Yelp's search is just so much easier. If I'm in a new place, I just pull up Yelp, click "Restaurants" and go with the first thing that has food I like. It's never failed me yet. It might not be the best or cheapest around, but usually the thing with 4+ stars is still pretty good. We've found a couple of places that way where we keep going back every time we're in town just because we liked it so much.

When I pull up Google and search for [restaurants near me] or [restaurants] in the Maps app, it's a mess. I can't tell what is good or not. Also they usually only have a few ratings. With Yelp I can find places with 100+ ratings out in the middle of nowhere.

The problem for Yelp is that there is no money in providing a great service like that, so they have to do shady things to make up for it.
The Illusion of Zero Marginal Costs
Going coast-to-coast in the US on rail would take a long time, even with a bullet train, so it just wouldn't be competitive with airplanes.

However, going up and down the coasts would make perfect sense for HSR. Traveling from LA to SanFran, for instance, would be much better on a bullet train than an airplane, and the travel time would probably be similar (airplanes have lots of wasted overhead time). The northeast corridor would also be a great place for a bullet train (no, the Acela is not a bullet train). NY-Chicago or DC-Chicago would probably be a good route too.

The problem in the US is just a total lack of political will, and an idiotic aversion on the part of the populace to using trains.

The term ‘Medicare for All’ is a fairly new term that has only been exposed to public discourse (of the sort that reaches the average unengaged voter) within the bubble of Democrat primaries.

It’ll be instructive to see how these numbers stand up to scrutiny during the general election—assuming the Democrats elect someone who supports it as advertised.

Virtual memory and overcommit isn't the same thing. Virtual memory means using disk space as memory. Overcommit means that the OS allows more memory to be allocated than it can guarantee is available. It is exactly like an airline booking 1 000 passengers for a flight with 500 seats, hoping that only half of them will actually show up. I don't think overcommit is ever needed in a modern system or is even a useful feature. For example, Windows doesn't support it at all.

The Android swipe-style typing accuracy has also gone steadily down over time to the point where it regularly chooses letter combinations that aren't real words. I suspect that it's because they allow their training corpuses to be polluted by trash from random users because it's "smarter that way".
"The Orville" had an episode where an alien culture used a procedure that sampled teeth to determine the exact birthdate of a person.

There's not much in the tooth apatite that would be useful for radiometric dating on the time scale of a single human lifespan, though. I don't think you could do it with radiometrics, no matter what you sampled. Anything precise enough to indicate one year within a range of 100 would probably kill the animal with its radiation, even if it were naturally common enough to be taken up by living organisms.

It may be that a tooth is an easy source of original DNA, and approximate age may be extrapolated from accumulation of copy-error mutations in different types of cells in the body, which would be affected by the frequency of division. So by comparing DNA found in the tooth mineral against that found in the tooth nerve cells, and in the tooth blood supply, it might be possible to narrow the range of possible whole-organism ages by referencing mean mutation rates, and then further narrow it by checking telomere lengths. Seems like that might vary somewhat by individual, and their history of radiation exposure.
Quite remarkable a single mutation gave us the tools to dominate the earth.

I guess the ability to make plans, communicate and execute them and reflect on what worked and what didn't to improve the plan making endows us with significant predictive power compared to the rest of the planet. Perhaps in similar ways AI will endow some people (or itself) with predictive power beyond our own, allowing those who yield it to dominate the rest
