> How do you ensure competition when Big Tech can (and do) literally buy any and all potential competition?

The obvious answer is to subject such acquisitions to regulatory approval, and change the practices around such approval to make it much harder to acquire a competitor.

There's always going to need to be some regulation, at a minimum. I think the question is what regulation will be the most effective at accomplishing the goal?
Yeah, but the weirdness inherent to them being objects but also not objects leads to all sorts of bullcrap, like `Array.isArray` being a thing. I greatly prefer the Lua approach where you only have one map type (tables), and there are methods that allow you to easily use the tables as an array.

Here's the mindset explained:

We think regulation will always be strongly influenced by the regulated entities, since they have by far the biggest skin in that game, and in the end, regulation will always end up "bad", much like a dropped $20 bill will always be taken.

This concept is called "Regulatory Capture" by economists, it has been extensively studied, and I'm sure you can find reading material by googling.

I think it's true that "for the average non-technical person (in the U.S.) it is probably more likely to get your money taken by a thief than if you had it in fiat currency in a bank." But I think you're locating the problem in the wrong part of the conjunction: the reason fiat currency in a US bank is more secure is because US banks are fairly secure, not because the fiat currency is secure.

It seems like some sort of confusion to blame the Mt. Gox heist on Bitcoin. Mt. Gox's depositors gave their Bitcoins to Mt. Gox; Mt. Gox didn't give them back and claims that an unknown party absconded with them. If you lent your car to a random French PHP programmer in Japan and he came back without the car, you wouldn't blame that on cars in general being an "unsafe" investment.

If the Mt. Gox depositors had kept their Bitcoins in a paper wallet in a Bank of America safe deposit box rather than in Mt. Gox, they'd still have their money. (In fact they'd have enormously more money, but that's sort of random; it demonstrates the fickleness of markets rather than any kind of fundamental security of Bitcoin.) Conversely, the investors and banks who invested or lent dollars and yen to Mt. Gox lost as much or more as the Bitcoin depositors.

Probably a BofA Bitcoin account would be better, but that's a matter of convincing BofA to offer Bitcoin or similarly secure currencies, instead of or in addition to dollar-denominated accounts. And that's where Libra comes from.
Yes I agree visualization aids are helpful, and under-utilized by the educational world. (Same thing goes for math, basic and complex.)

Specifically, for programming:

0) Memory layout or even a Variable's storage, to me, is most useful. It shows intermediate state, and can teach programmers what they can expect to see when their program is running. Most of the time, practically speaking, we don't look at final results ... we look at this intermediate state.

1) Next is historical variable storage. Yes Codelapse seems to have a time-slider. It is also helpful to have a X'd out list of prior values, to help teach programmers to see patterns, showing the historical values they should expect to see over time stored in a variable.

2) Keeping track of the line of code where the program counter is pointing at, is next on my prioritized list of elements to visualize.

I recommend making the time-travel feature, in the center, more "button like", for discoverability's sake.

According to General relativity your mom is actually more attractive compared to other mothers...
a1369209993 was answering my "I don't think [natural transformations from the identity functor] always exist" with "no, they don't."

The natural transformation would be a function "a -> Const q a" for all a. There can't be a way to do this for all q that is somehow natural in q, since this would have to construct a value of q to put into the Const constructor. Worse, (even though vanilla Haskell doesn't allow it), q might be the empty type, so there might be no functions "a -> Const q a" whatsoever. I think the point of the example is that keeping q polymorphic is a simulation of the empty type.

Allowing empty types, I'm happy with the example. However, this is technically a natural transformation in Haskell:

f :: a -> Const q a
f x = Const undefined x

since every type contains bottom (undefined).
The whole point lies on the definition of what is a social media. In what it is different to everything that happened before.

> Which would also likely be perfectly legal under GDPR, assuming the phone number was given freely to you, we can reasonably assume informed consent.

So what happens if you got the phone number from your friend's sister? Or off of caller ID?

> As it's really hard to use a phone number for anything else than phoning someone, we can also reasonably say that the data is only used under the originally stated purposes.

There are lots of things you can do with a phone number other than phoning someone. There are services that effectively use phone numbers as usernames, you could give it to them to see if your friend is on that service. When your new girlfriend asks who this number on the caller ID is you can tell them who it is (disclosing it to them). You could store it on your computer which gets backed up to some random cloud service in the US. That's all common human behavior.

> And then the phone number is not shared with the public, but stored at a secure location (fridge) having organizational (family rules) and technical (locked doors, windows) policies in place to secure the information.

The scenario is that it's also being posted to a public blog.

> Given the required security level for a __single__ phone number I would say this would be a reasonable level of caution.

Is it more common for a person to know a __single__ phone number, or have an address book full of them?

You're looking for the case where by coincidence it happens to not be a violation. Even if you find it, that doesn't help anything if accidental violations remain widespread.
This is a great improvement! Last time I did a stripe integration it was definitely kind of a painful, disjointed experience.

Parent comment is making a joke about “year” as a unit measuring how many times you go around the sun. Less time has passed for the core per relativity, but is it not the same number of years?

The more official definition of years defines it in terms of days, which break down further to SI’s rigorously defined second as the base unit of time. But it’s still weird to think about.

I really dislike the B-word, but I think it's clear that the First Amendment protects its use.

That said, I wonder if an argument could be made that the B-word is a form of hate speech against a protected group (women) because it is dehumanizing (compares them to an animal in a degrading way).

In the private sphere, Facebook says it treats such speech as Tier 1 hate speech (see https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/hate_speech) although I don't know whether it treats the B-word as qualifying. (I would argue it should, based on FB's own definition.)

Granted, hate speech is still protected by the First Amendment. So there are no legal penalties in the U.S. for using it.

But I wonder whether treating the B-word as hate speech in terms of our cultural attitude toward it might make its use less common.

But that's not the only explanation. If you strech space in each direction you get the same effect.

If you have a baloon with a band attached to two opposite points on it's surface and blow the ballon, the distance between points (the band length) on the surface will change 2 times as the distance from the middle. Moreover, if you place some markers on the band the distance between them will also strech. You get that effect in plain Euclidean 3d space. It's not that surprising even for nice orthogonal geometry.

To add even more color to the kerfuffle, Lemonade filed a motion yesterday with the European intellectual property office to loosen Deutsche’s legal vice-grip on the color, and has petitioned to remove DT’s color-rights on magenta in the insurance sector.

The problem is, T-Mobile actually does offer insurance on services like cybersecurity and tech-gadget protection policies, which could add a touch of gray to the magenta dispute.
Photoacoustic Effect
Blind person here, though not living in the US. I don't know the exact stats about unemployment here, but, from my observations, they're pretty similar. Most kids do know braille, though. I think that nowadays, braille doesn't help much, as only blind people can use it anyway. Literacy isn't as important for blind people as for the sighted, as they can't use braille to communicate with the rest of society anyway. I generally consider braille not that useful, except in certain narrow contexts. Beware that this is a personal opinion, and braille versus speech is almost as hot in the blind community as static versus dynamic typing with software developers. I don't really use braille daily (except for math drawings, as I'm still in education). I consider technology to be much, much more important now. Computers have probably been the most revolutionary thing when blind people are concerned. Communicating with the sighted, reading books that haven't been specially prepared, access to services etc. Also programming is one of the most accessible jobs out there, as code is just text that can be read aloud by a program, and most tools are CLI-based or have CLI-based alternatives. I think money would be better spend on teaching people on how to use the internet effectively instead of teaching them braille. Braille is a tool whose existence blind people should be aware of, as it may be useful, but it lost its relevance.

When it comes to unemployment, I don't see how braille could help here. Half of the problem is employer bias, actual obstacles that are hard/impossible to overcome or artifical obstacles (inaccessible software) also matter. I think that solving the bias problem would make the situation much better, though. One more problem I see, at least here, is education. Blind people aren't really that aware of what they can realistically do, so they get majors in art, history, literature etc, or think they can get by without good education. No one tells them where to go to have a real chance of finding a job. Sighted people also do it, but, if nothing else works out, they can get a job at Wallmart/Mcdonald's. Blind people don't have that possibility.
Ask HN: Software Craft in Your Company
I'm Tech Lead in a relatively sized Corp (3k employees, 200 developers) and I'm doing full stack from mobile to Backend and APIs, and I was wondering what is the state of Software Craft in your company.

More specifically how did you create a culture of development quality (well-crafted software) ?
What are successful insights to install a culture of learning and make other developers unite and want to improve (create a community of professionals)?

I've been trying for a year (events, katas, coding games, tech watch, ...) and definitely had some results with some of our passionate developers (approx. 20 to 30) but having a hard time to gather more developers, either they don't have a time or they don't want to take it (probably they see no value?).

OTOH we have recurrent defects and code smell, code review is not always enforced properly, unit tests not optimal (or not properly understood).

Do you do weekly katas? Weekly events? Some kind of university inside the Corp? Mob programming? Did you reach to your management to have developers having actually time to devote to improvement? Deliver somewhat less but with more confidence, better quality meaning less people woke up at night.

I know I won't be able to have everyone interested, but I'd be delighted to see what the HN crowd is doing regarding this subject, so that I can also improve :)

ShellCheck: Finds bugs in your shell scripts
The person that posted the $1M position using $4K (https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/drqaro/robi...) hasn't said that Robinhood has shut him down yet, which is crazy to think.

Ultimately Robinhood screwed up, so I don't know if they really want to expose themselves any further by trying to go to court with any of these people. That would do more damage to their reputation/valuation than resolving these cases as quickly and amicably as possible.

I personally can't believe this is still unresolved, though. The original $50k Apple puts guy uploaded the video last week, and these copycats were still able to exploit the issue. As on right now, I don't think it's yet fixed. Why didn't Robinhood fix the bug over the weekend? Why aren't they treating this like a massive legal issue/regulatory violation? It's so strange.

The biggest subsidy is given to old cars - instead of using the new price you can use the market price. It's very common for business owners to purchase these old luxury cars with company money then pay 21% of the market price a year instead of 21% of the sale price.

For electric cars you pay 4% of the new price for the first 50k then 21% over the rest. Your employer pays the lease itself (about 1.2k EUR for a Model 3 last I checked).

Although this is marketed as a "tax cut to the rich" that isn't completely true. Most new car sales here come from leases. In 4 years time these cars will hit the second hand market and be bought by people like me.

We should absolutely be increasing tax on the most environmentally unfriendly leases and using that money to fund the lower rate on pure electric cars. Let the SUV drivers pay.
You say that nationalism in China is a reaction to nationalism in the US when it is actually the other way around. After many decades of realizing China has engaged in unfair trade practices, IP theft, and predatory behavior despite maintaining innocence, US finally has to react. If someone keeps punching you and spitting in your face, how do you think they'll react eventually?

I don't expect Chinese natives to understand the full story because they aren't exposed to all the wrongdoings of their government and even if they are, they think it's justified because they selfishly believe in supremacy of their own race/country. Even your comment suggests that you have been led to believe US is the "bully". I have heard all the arguments from the Chinese about 100 years of humiliation, Opium wars, and how US did X, Y, and Z "bad things" without ever pausing and stepping out of their own shoes to look at their actions in an unbiased way or learning the truth of the facts. I guess you can't have a meaningful argument when your only sources are your government textbooks and fire-walled internet. Think about that.
Excerpt:

"The photoacoustic effect or optoacoustic effect is the formation of sound waves following light absorption in a material sample. In order to obtain this effect the light intensity must vary, either periodically (modulated light) or as a single flash (pulsed light).[1][page needed][2] The photoacoustic effect is quantified by measuring the formed sound (pressure changes) with appropriate detectors, such as microphones or piezoelectric sensors."

You won't like my answer. SJ is all about hypocrisy. Wrt the corp culture, SJ poisons the well. I'll explain. Most of the diverse folks are fine, but a tiny fraction of them are covert activists: they have fragile ego and would report you to hr for anything. It's a matter of survival to spot such activists and avoid them. Soon you realise that it's just too hard to distinguish good folks from bad ones and you start avoiding the entire group. This is when this subconscious bias forms. Another way to look at it is if you have an organisation and you don't keep an eye on corruption, soon these few bad apples would destroy the image of the entire organization.

Security through obscurity is generally a bad idea. The author proposes using ipv6 addresses because... the address is harder to guess? They don't want to patch vulns so they're scared of being scanned?

You shouldn't be using password auth in a public-facing ssh server anyway (use keys!) but if you are, fail2ban is good for locking out brute force attempts. You can also use iptables to restrict access to just certain IPs/subnets. Alternatively, run your own mesh VPN with tinc and configure sshd to only listen on the vpn address (this is the best solution).

Non-standard ssh ports are also an option, but keep in mind using unprivileged ports (>1024) opens other attack vectors so you probably shouldn't.
