Looking at the dates when the high speed lines (AVE) were opened in Spain [1], save for one (1992), all the rest were opened after 2003, and most were opened in the last decade.

I suspect it's because of reloads:

The NGINX ingress controller goes to some lengths to avoid reloads because it recognizes the hit from reloads. In Ambassador-land, we use Envoy's xDS APIs to avoid this problem. Not clear what the HAProxy ingress controller does.

> I don’t think an E-mail address is really necessary in order to ship a package or charge a credit card.

For credit cards, no it's not (but would be for pay-later, PayPal perhaps, Alipay, AmazonPay, maybe).

For shipping, most shipping companies have the option to handle the customer communication. When creating an order you provide them an email address and/or phone number, and they will send notifications. Many use these channels to provide the user the ability to reschedule deliveries, select delivery windows, change their delivery address, etc. This process is often also white-labelled so you may not realise that it's actually with the delivery company.

These details are not stored long term, only for the purposes of doing the delivery, any applicable returns process, and any insurance claims, etc.

It is possible to not do this, but assuming the retailer wishes to provide the same level of communication it means a much deeper level of integration, as tracking data needs to be ingested by the retailer. Given the industry has no standards for this, and "integrations" are SFTP + cron jobs once a day + CSVs, this can be pretty difficult, error prone, and result in a poor UX where you don't actually have the granularity of data to send an email when the package has been delivered.

> Friction and convenience used to be acceptable reasons to collect personal info without consent but maybe that’s starting to change.

We have found that it is within the user's expectation that we will share contact details to the third parties necessary to complete their order in this manner. It's in our privacy policy that we do this. We also check that all of our suppliers understand their GDPR responsibilities.
But you must actually “click” or “browse” for it to be enforceable, right?
>So to me, the real world seems to line up with having encryption with a "back door" only the government has access to.

Physical access is easier to control as getting access has a cost. Digital access is effectively free.

The problem with this is that physical access has a cost and limiting it behind approvals and procedures - can deter improper access. (Not always - if a cop really wanted into your house - they will get in)

Digital access is effectively free. It doesn’t cost very much to use a backdoor on millions of devices across the globe. There isn’t much that can be done if the backdoor is leaked.

Police officers use a battering ram or force to get into a house. We know how it works. But knowing it doesn’t increase chances of burglaries.
> It's proved that they just take a brunch of poor peoples poorly paid to deal with real messages and try to moderate them sometimes with a poor understanding of the context, and use it as an input to teach the IA how to do "proper" moderation.

That's exactly what the article says: "you’d write up some guidelines (...) and then contract with some external company to have human beings read those guidelines and rate lots of examples that you send them" and then it mentions people from places with low salaries, like rural India and the Philippines.

And then in the possible solutions, it mentions hiring people well steeped into the specific cultural context of those you're trying to moderate.

This is where I think the article undermines itself, because if paying for some different (and probably more expensive) set of people may be a solution, then the question that was supposed to be answered remains: "why do companies with unbounded resources not do that?"
I'll look into it, thank you.

And weird, they are scheduled using exactly the same mechanism.
I love Hugh Herr. I first encountered him in the 90s when he was doing custom prosthetics for rock climbing and then I lost track of his work. Next thing I know he's doing stuff like the talk you linked to. He's truly inspirational, and humbling in what he achieves.
So you didn't read the rest of the article?

Here are some quotes for you so you don't have to:

"it is a marked advance on similar approaches that allow people to control a single limb with their thoughts."

,

"And he can control each of the arms, manoeuvring them in three-dimensional space"

,

"It took a lot longer to learn how to control the arms.

'It was very difficult because it is a combination of multiple muscles and movements. This is the most impressive thing I do with the exoskeleton.'"

,

"In tasks where Thibault had to touch specific targets by using the exoskeleton to move his upper and lower arms and rotate his wrists, he was successful 71% of the time."

,

"There are also plans to develop finger control to allow Thibault to pick up and move objects."

So they specifically address your point and show advances beyond previous successes in the field.
Ask HN: Should I delete passwords/email addresses for inactive users?
I run a website with circa 100,000 users. Most have not logged-in for over a year.

For security, should I delete the password and email address of inactive accounts, in case I get hacked? I want to keep the account usernames and the content they have created.

If yes, is a year a reasonable cutoff date? Is there best-practice guidelines regarding this?
> However, there's a vast distance between that quote and convincing evidence of a violation in this instance.

Of course there isn't any evidence that you'll accept. Nevermind that the whole world saw him solicit Russian assistance in hacking his opponent during the last elections and that the video evidence of him doing so is available for anyone to view at any time.
So glad to hear!

The article says "European Union Convention", not "European Convention". And as your quote also shows, it's a Council of Europe thing rather than a European Communit(y|ies)/European Union thing.

I feel that something like backblaze personal backup is a good option. It's great if they have some local backup drive for this additionally (3-2-1), but it's pretty bulletproof to have unlimited online backup storage for your parent's home PC. From accidentally deleting a file, to a house fire.. everything is backed up outside the home. Just have it back up from the time they go to bed normally, and the time they wake up, and they won't need to do anything or worry about it. Plus, it's affordable af for what it is. My 2 cents.
Why not just do it manually 20 times first? It'll show you what to look for, what customers want, etc. - and a bit of manual work is cheaper than building the wrong thing.

Does CF DNS not use qname minimization? That would reduce the association between subnets and names looked up.

So what government story prompted the gradual growth of reported tourists?

I looked at the data a bit more in an attempt to find sources skeptical of the reported tourists, and I couldn't find anything. I did find the reported tourism revenue though, and though it still seems like far more tourists are visiting, the expenses per person has dropped a fair amount leading to the % of GNP from tourism dropping since 98.

This would explain why the economy doesn't seem to be benefitting despite the high rise in tourism.
Yes this is pretty much how it is. Ardan is a great company.
It's a great way to have an unfixable mountain of tech debt.

See, Kanban only works when the focus is on quality. It's the main secondary premise of the original Toyota approach of Lean which spawned Kanban. Note that it starts with minimizing waste (in programming, tree breakage or waiting on tests) and secondly minimizing overloads. The philosophy is kaizen, continuous improvement. Sacrificing quality is not an improvement, Toyota itself started by breaking process into quality assured steps to fight waste due to rework.

Otherwise anyone can push undone paper tickets over the wall and that's not the point.
I suppose it would be quite nice to have a MailTo= directive in a service. When the service stops, systemd could retrieve whatever it logged to the journal and mail it to the specified address.

Until such a feature is implemented, you could try:

ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'shopt -o pipefail; mycommand | mail -s foo@example.com'

Certainly not as convenient as MailTo=, but a lot less complicated than using OnFailure= with a separate service that tries to mail you the output.
How about looking up the client's AS via BGP or whois and broadening the scope so that it matches its net block? Then if a CDN peering with a particular ISP wants more granular DNS load balancing they could ask the ISP to announce their routes by region or something like that.
This is morally defensible, but from a business point of view, the likes of Twitter need to be seen doing something about "hate speech".

Specifically this means suppressing the alt-right, who are the most problematic causes of bad PR. Other groups - Burmese Islamophobes, for example - might get silenced too, but out of a desire to have consistent rules rather than a clear business need or a moral imperative to prevent genocide in Myanmar.
Dealing with anxiety, absent-mindedness, ineffectiveness as a developer
I'm a developer and I need some help with being the best I can be mentally, but I'm not sure where to get it.

By "mentally" what I mean is I feel anxious, absent minded or otherwise less effective than I feel like I can be (and have been in the past).

I'm generally a happy person, confident in my technical abilities but I feel really held back by my mental state sometimes. It's so hard to talk about mental health, because so much of it is qualitative and everyone's experience is different.

I'm not sure where to find help. Ideas I've had are going into therapy or finding some sort of mentor/sounding board. I'm looking for suggestions, because I thought there must be people out there in the community who have had similar experiences.

If anyone out there has any thoughts/recommendations/advice then I'd really appreciate it!

Fair enough, it is quite difficult to do that (well not really if your net profits are ~20B and if you let convenience and speed of ad deployment suffer for quality and trust).

But the least they could do is increase transparency like how Snap has attempted with their political ads library.
Google Gets Tougher on HTTPS with Ban on Mixed Content
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_compensation
Correct. It's also worth noting that as a general principle, the DNS server making the request on behalf of the user is hosted in the same network as the user, and not an external third party.

In this particular case, it's one CDN taking issue with another CDN only. No other DNS providers appear to be impacted.

This doesn't really sound like a big-bang rewrite as such but an incremental development process. The sort of rewrite that would be a major strategic mistake is where you start with a new repository and begin re-implementing the entire product, but this seems all perfectly sensible to me.

This just sounds like the sort of incremental Ship of Theseus [0] development that many of us are doing. The product I'm working on has had enough key internal portions rewritten over a long enough time (including interestingly the job management system) that you could say it's a rewrite compared to the product from 2 years ago.

AFAIK this is only true for Chinese citizens or people who bought their phone in China or something but it is still scary.
IP banning has lost a lot of its effectiveness when ISPs started putting people behind NATs and recycling their IPs (which was a long time ago), and further lost effectiveness with the advent of smartphones and mobile Internet connections.
I'd like to see some idea of what they mean by big.
An order of magnitude in terms of lines of code and the number of engineers they had for the job and how long it all took versus how long the original took to write etc.
One of the things that scares me about something like this are all the seemingly illogical bits of code that were added over time and are actually that way for a reason because they fix some edge case or whatever. Hard to see those not getting swept away in a rewrite as well as a whole bunch of new rarely occurring issues added.
A complete rewrite strikes me as something that's almost guaranteed to be buggier than what it replaces, at least for awhile.
"Project Veritas" But of course.
Have you tried it? It's nice for very small projects and demos, but when the program gets longer it's painful. Perhaps a new editor can fix it, but I doubt it is possible.

Also, the conversion of text to AST is not straightforward. What do you do with infix operators? In the AST you loose the hability to write nice math formulas. What about f'' strings in python? I'm 99% sure they are desugared, specially the new version with the = sign.
I haven't scrutinized the implementation of FreeCAD, but the various "workbenches" (if memory serves, I think that's what they were called) feel like they're implemented essentially as separate programs that just share some common frontend piece switching between them.
Low vision is not a problem when one actually knows how to properly drive. The problem is, tons of people don't (or don't know their cars well), and they compensate with buying SUVs although they hardly use them on terrain/situation that would require them. My bmw is already lowish as standard, and previous owner lowered it significantly, and being very low ain't a problem in the traffic at all.

Generally SUVs are the worst mix of properties you want from cars - center of gravity is too high (bad handling), rolling in case of accident is much easier to achieve, too heavy so pretty bad acceleration, more expensive maintenance (ie tyres, more oil, heavier taxation in many places etc.), more consumption because of the weight and crappy aerodynamics etc.

/end of SUV rant
You cannot prevent that usecase from happening ever. Bad actors will always use open source software.

Short sellers pile into WeWork debt
The article mentions Cost Explorer.
It bothers me that your comment is written well because it lends credibility to a comment that essentially amounts to 'don't stand up for what you believe, it won't work! Be a weasel instead!'
I strongly disagree, I think this approach is worse off for pretty much everyone in the long run. I can also tell you that unless you are really good at hiding your opinions/intentions, for some(me for example), your attitude is a repellant and you will be labeled a weasel. There are a number of such types in my office and I really do wonder if they realise how transparent their behavior is. To some people this behavior will be effective, some will tolerate, but for others you will be on a blacklist, prevented from going further because they effectively see you as the type of person who won't say anything that doesn't further your own cause. They just won't trust you and it's really uncomfortable for some people to try to gel with this.

> A complete rewrite strikes me as something that's almost guaranteed to be buggy

Likely buggy, but buggy in different ways. The real test will be in measuring the number and quality and severity of bugs, as well as the ability to identify and repair them in both systems. A testable system with good test code written may still be 'buggy', but will help foster a sense of confidence when making the fixes required.
Gremiums Filter out the interesting outliers
Companies should understand they’re not entitled to profitability.

Have you bought an ad in a traditional publication? The process involves an editor (human) reviewing the ad, which can be rejected or sent for rework for a variety of reasons.

Facebook automates away that human interaction, which enables it to operate at a scale, and with a cost structure, traditional publishers cannot. It also seems to enable a lower quality of advertising (possibly propaganda).

Maybe requiring Facebook to human review ads would suffocate its business model. That’s Facebook’s problem to figure out.
That’s not accurate at all.

Anyway I think this confusion stems from the fact that some people think there's a right to free speech in the EU. That is not the case.
To me it is fallacy of bigtech to misclassify moderation problem as just a typical ML problem. Hence a false belief that ML models, standard approaches that they use for their other ML problems, and cheap annotators can solve it.

What, I think, can be done:

1. Don't just hire expensive PhDs and hope that algorithms can correctly classify racism, etc.
Hire an expensive product visionary who can build holistic approach to address moderation problem and knows what is solvable with ML and what needs pivoting to human-guided resolution.

2. Don't hire lots of cheap annotators in "Rural Inida" but hire or train fewer expensive experts and give them powerful tools that can scale their work to handle efficiently all suspicious traffic.

3. Give power to "normal" users to flag inappropriate content or behavior and loop this in a thought-out workflow with your ML and your experts on the other end.

4. Partition users and content so that bad actors and bad content get clustered away and are less easily accessible for others.

Why bigtech companies don't do it? Besides fallacy of thinking this is a "typical" ML problem, moderation is hard. It's also hard to make a business case for short-minded bosses and prove revenue increase or expenses cut. Lastly, some bigtech ones benefit a lot from abuse so they can't change immediately to stop it all.
