Marketing is specifically called out in the law as not being a healthcare function. It requires a separate authorization of consent from each patient before any of their data can be used for marketing purposes.
In my experience the police don't investigate B&E's into people's homes that often or with any vigor.
No one is stealing anything here, and I didn't even advocate for blocking the job postings (which I also pointed out I'm not sure are even paid). I simply questioned whether the job postings are even paid at all.
Only if yours was also made in Kentucky and even then Toyota apparently did the bare minimum they were legally obliged to do. From what I understand, mine was not part of the recall.

you should go to https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and put your VIN anyways just for your peace of mind

here's scotty kilmer explaining the issue: https://youtu.be/B0NwnbVN1cw
It's not really a loophole, it's kind of the whole point of the law. It's purpose was to establish standard, regulated methods for sharing health data between organizations.

And using it to serve you ads would be a clear violation of the law.
Honestly, probably something finance/investing-related. It's one of the only industries where profits can be pretty much completely divorced from the value actually created for customers, so there's basically unlimited upside. Everything else ends up somewhat limited by GDPs, population, or anti-trust regulations.

If someone figured out a way to accurately predict market trends in a positive-ROI scenario, they could become a trillionaire without ever having to do all the pesky parts of actually creating a sustainable business.
I think that's a separate thing from what I was talking about, though you can certainly do both at the same time.

> Most people simply are not in the habit of expressing themselves with enough precision, and might even be missing some essential training.

I agree with this, I don't think we'll be programming in natural languages until the computer is intelligent enough to pick out unintended ambiguity and ask clarifying questions. What I'm unsure about is whether or not the computer will be that intelligent in 50 years. Whenever it is that intelligent, I expect us to transition quickly.
Very well said. We outsource our critical thinking at our own peril.

People are very good at believing what they want to, and the more we encourage them to turn off their skepticism because something has a little badge on it, the worse off we all are.
Sort of.

More like "Raku (nee Perl6)" I think.

It's (now) called Raku, because it isn't really Perl any more - even though it started out that way. "Perl" is Perl 5 now.
> Sure, unless it's a laptop.

That's a self-imposed constraint, not a problem constraint.

Computational resources are dirt cheap nowadays. Everyone can get free time in global scale clusters. The only reason anykne is stuck with a laptop to run number/data crunching tasks is because they want to.
10 minutes? Good for you - I get pissed off if I have to wait more than 5 minutes between trains in London.
Are we supposed to pretend it’s something other than vertical integration because you happen to prefer their approach?
It's not ridiculous because they wouldn't want to do it, it's ridiculous because it would be illegal.
> iD's position was earned. I was there, as we worked through months of community process and testing and adjustments to acquire the near-impossible consensus that the OpenStreetMap community desired. Saying that it replaced P2 "in due course" and now has a "privileged position" forgets that the community, not us, made the decision and pressed that 'merge PR' button.

I don't believe I said anything else, particularly given that I was one of the people most strongly lobbying for iD to become the default editor at the time (the rationale was not quite as you put it but that doesn't matter).

And that there is no misunderstanding: nobody is proposing changing that,
> Violence meets definition of ‘terrorist acts’ according to local and international laws

When a populous perpetrates violence against it's own government and that government is authoritarian, then that is not a definition of terrorism, but instead and act of rebellion.

History is full of such examples.
Agreed - especially on mobile a full page thing I have to click through to accept the cookies?? If I didn't want cookies I'd just block them and see how web worked - this should be browser setting, not a required click through on every website.

Your browser controls your cookies - use that, clear them, do whatever you want.
I don't think the book analogy says anything interesting, it's a different sort of thing.

Maybe we just need some combination of bigger batteries, more efficient devices and easier charging.

Like, what does it say about me that I bought a car charger for my phone before a recent long drive? Am I hopelessly addicted to my battery meter or am I just vaguely prudent?
I agree it would be a cool feature. Unfortunately, you'd have to basically rewrite everything in order to do it.

I actually kind of did that. Soundpipe[0], Patchwerk[1], and Runt[2] used together builds something that syntactically resembles Sporth, sounds virtually identical, and is usually way faster. In Runt, you can add new words and build abstractions that way. In practice, I tend to avoid doing this and will tend to generate Runt code using higher level languages like Scheme.

Lithium is here to stay for a while because it has the best ion mobility of any reactive metal. Sodium is much fatter and slower, but might be good for grid storage.
That has not been my experience.
2007 was In the shadow of the post 2000 crash. People were still debating with me if going in to Computer Science even made sense (aren’t they sending all those jobs to India?). The financial crisis would happen just a few months later and take almost 10 years to recover.

There’s a bias when looking at the past. We tend to assume the future was both inevitable and easily predictable. Not like these uncertain times today.

Now pre-2000s was a little different. VCs were taking to me on the phone about my “robotics” company. I was 10.
Is it just the resolution (which could be improved) or something else?

I write in one way, I type in another and I also speak in another way. My thoughts are weird.

I don't math good, so I'll just ask :

Does the RPM of the electric engine matter if the RPM of the propeller can't exceed a certain rate (because the tips of the prop will break the speed of sound, which you generally don't want for comfort reasons)? I mean this in terms of power generation and pushing air.
From article:

> "The administration must guard the dignity of the Hong Kong passport, which now enjoys visa-free status from 167 countries. The number would drop to 20 if we admit to breeding domestic terrorists,” the source continued."

Alternatively it would be cool if comments could be open on job posts so that folks who've had experience applying, interviewing or working at the company can leave notes for others.
The makers response should always by default be. “Do you want i know or when its done” then after that a discussion about delivery schedules can be had.
So I originally came from a sales background into tech because I wanted to start a company. I told myself: "I'll just hire devs to build out the things that I will want to sell, surely I can have someone else do the thing that I'm bad at for money"... and (surprise) It didn't work (Selling Websites).

The reason it didn't work was because I needed at least a fluency with technology to be able to instruct people on how to build my thing (or to use no/low code solutions to build my thing). The tech world is a full blown culture that you need to understand. There are many ways to get the fluency... but the easiest way is actually to learn how to do programming/ development. In the least do it on a basic level so you can understand how the world works.

You might get answers about "no code" or "low code" options out there... but they will fail you for the same reason... It requires a trained mind to utilize these solutions.

The cool part is that once you are into it and you have a handle it will become easier to answer this question you asked.
One question might be, in a natural language "conversation" with the database system, could one iteratively refine the results to the needed precision, and then perhaps bookmark the query. It's still an open question if people end up with enough precision, but I think that's an easier and different standard than equivocating a single SQL query to a single natural language query.
No. SQL was invented (in system-R) in order to have a decelerative way to query a relational database [tables and relations] (as a front end to the query optimizer).
For many tasks a spark cluster is overkill. Streaming will get you a really long way before you have to tackle running a while spark cluster. And you'll probably be able to still do it on your laptop.
Good idea. Equivalent of Prestige or whatever it was in CoD. Founder notches startups on their belt.

The real question is whether they make more money doing it this way. And I suspect they do.
If most donators did do research then they would not contribute even a tax deductible dime.
Well documented charity scams include building just six houses for half a billion US dollars by the Red Cross:

These well known charities gave between 0% to less than 12% to their intended recipients:

Only way to give aid with certainty (with charity foundations eating it up with “admin” expenses) is to avoid agency risk and give directly. In fact that is Bill and Melinda Gates set up their eponymous charity and why Warren Buffett will contribute to it.
FE devs don’t care about end users. Their sites are slow to load(TheVerge.com), are absolute trash to use (TechCrunch.com) and display an utter lack of concern of compute resources(Lifehacker.com - let you phone idle on this page a few minutes and feel how hot it gets).

FE devs want to be taken seriously, but they refuse to learn the lessons the rest of us have already learned.

If FE devs would get their crap together we wouldn’t see posts about Google trying to wrest as much control as possible away from them.
I'm working on a new platform to easily deploy compute/memory-intensive applications to cloud API endpoints [1]. This let's you share your app with others (e.g. colleagues) and makes the most sense if your task needs a lot of memory/CPU but not too much IO. Contact info is in my profile and I'm happy to discuss your use case!

I was really hoping for \dt but looks like they haven't implemented it yet. The number one most common thing I look up when I'm using a SQL variant is how to show the tables. I suppose there would be complications with NoSQL but you could just show available collections or whatever else it maps to in that case.
From the title, I thought it would be a pumped-storage system basically using gravity as the energy medium. They're instead using it as a thermal system and cooling the water for use in air conditioning. It's an interesting setup for areas where AC is almost always needed.
I still remember the vivid and strange experience when I watched Lynch's masterpiece TV show 'Twin Peaks'. Just an amazing experience! I have also enjoyed his films such as 'Blue Velvet' and 'Mulholland Drive'. When watching Lynch's shows and movies I feel his creations are similar to that of Stanley Kubrick.
Let's say that our file consists of nothing but the new line character (1 byte). At 2^64 lines, that's 18.45 EB.

Sure, for files larger than 18.45 EB at the minimum, computing the new line count will take O(log N) time.

I'm all for nitpicking the issues with Big O notation, but this instance doesn't strike me as one.
You are being ironic, I presume. When near everyone who matters in SV / IT / tech is a user on your platform, I gather there is something of interest in the data trail they leave behind.

The IRS already openly admits to not auditing the rich as its too complicated and to instead going after the less wealthy.
More, failed as "a big idea, like the smartphone". Google launched it like that too.
Can confirm. I'm currently halfway through the first one. It has given me a lot more clarity on what is going on under the hood. Also makes it much easier to understand how to compare one database to another!
The only feature keeping me on Chrome is web bluetooth.
Didn't know about "community property", that's very interesting!
To kill the analogy — developers are unambiguously the frog. You’re arguing about who we should care more about, the frog or those who will be having frog for dinner — this has no bearing on if the frog being boiled is a bad thing but it certainly is from the vantage point of the frog ;)
My argument is that the rich have been evading paying taxes for decades and the IRS acknowledges this. They also acknowledge that they actively target the poor due to auditing the rich being difficult. I am sure politics and lobbying adds to that difficulty.

The current system is geared towards keeping the rich and poor where they are. I find it interesting that the IRS devotes resources towards targeting a new wealth source available to the poor while not dedicating those same resources towards auditing the wealthy. (I am in no way a crypto evangelist). One could argue that they are going after low hanging fruit, and I would not disagree but I would also argue that they are actively choosing to not target the rich with their limited resources.

I think you analogy is flawed, I would instead compare this case to the police hanging out in poor neighborhoods targeting house parties vs doing the same in rich neighborhoods as they may need to go the extra step of getting a gate code to the rich neighborhoods.

Binary serialization and real-time compression like zstd have opened up a whole new world for me. Something like flatbuffer even lets you index into structured data without a deserialization penalty.

There are a lot of derogations in GDPR. These could easily cover the current case in point (and the sharing of data with the UK NHS etc)

"The GDPR provides several exemptions and derogations for the use of health data, e.g. in the context of research or public health purposes under certain conditions. Typical procedures in this context include the application of ethical standards for scientific research as mentioned in Recital 33 and the implementation of organisational and technical safeguards as mentioned in Article 89 including anonymisation, pseudonymisation and encryption [2]. Pseudonymisation is generally recommended as long as the research purposes can be fulfilled in this manner. With the condition of such safeguards, the GDPR creates exemptions for researchers to process sensitive health data even beyond the purposes for which they were collected. "

Exactly, I'm not sure why people continually try to add privacy to bitcoin when there's a better alternative. With all of the blockchain monitoring services it's nearly a lost cause.
you know... just the other day I was downvoted on HN for making the claim that there is this perception out there that despite humanity being around hundreds of thousands of years in some form that some people believe it's going to just up and disappear in the next couple of hundred.

I'm not wrong. It's a thing.

It's alluring but then I don't think I've played a Cookie Clicker game that wasn't. I suspect someone could make one about raking faeces and I'd still play it. In fact, there's a sequence in RDR2 where you do exactly that.

I did like this though:

Very well put. But in your last paragraph, "useful" probably means "useful for discussing the US. That probably wouldn't classify as "far left" for most of Europe.

And that's fine, because if we're discussing US politics, then Europe's definition of far left is rather irrelevant.
> Like, what does it say about me that I bought a car charger for my phone before a recent long drive? Am I hopelessly addicted to my battery meter or am I just vaguely prudent?

I would argue: unless you have a paper map and know how to use it, buying a car charger for your phone would be a symptom of you not knowing how to get there and/or expecting to call to ask for directions.
That's right, they dividend out the profits each year (or at least they started doing that once the fund got over ~$5b or so). Otherwise if you do the math (1.66^33) they would end up with most of the money in the world!
People will disbelieve that, but it's absolutely true... I'll never forget the interview I did with an engineer who described an elaborate Hadoop-based solution to some past problem. When I asked him what type of data he was working with, he said, "Here, I'll show you," then whipped out his laptop and showed me a spreadsheet. It wasn't an extract of the data. It was literally a spreadsheet, manageable on a laptop, that he somehow decided needed a Hadoop cluster to process. (Also, who shows data from your current employer to a new prospective employer? Weird but true.)
Why the buildup? I've used q-tips every 3-4 days since a child and never had any ear wax buildup problems...

It almost seems like Twitter has a decided it has a vested interest in attempting to become an arbiter of veracity. That does seem a dangerous crutch to rely on.

"Typical" may be when no one side is overwhelmingly victorious. Where on any advantages you may possess there're handicaps placed. That's what lets the wars drag on for the long times as they do.
If this true ? Can politicians target taxpayers based on what perfectly legal activities they do ? For example can Trump ask IRS to target say H1B employees ?
SEEKING WORK * Vancouver BC, Canada / Germany / Remote preferred *
Technologies: Go, Python, Linux, AWS/Cloud. Everything web. Interested in Rust.

Might work on Java, Kotlin or Scala code if it's in good shape. Extensive fullstack experience, but prefer backend and scripting.

Résumé/CV: http://lpolzer.com/cv (not mobile-ready yet, sorry)

Email: polzer@fastmail.com

Looking for remote contract or freelance work, but generally open to other opportunities.

I specialize in backend and scripting work, and have worked on a wide variety of projects over a span of more than 15 years. I can ramp up to new tech and environments quickly. My last gig was as a software engineer at Amazon Vancouver for 20 months. I speak German and English. I get work done, and can also communicate with clients to refine requirements. I am honest, and I'm trying to be a fair and decent person at all times.

Here's a testimonial from a former client: "We were working on a tight deadline for an accelerator program and he did an excellent job of completing the prototype with enough time to make tweaks and launch before submission. He was wonderful to work with: a great listener and understood my vision for the product; he put together exactly what I was looking for despite starting with just a vague idea and several basic sketches. I have a consulting/VC background that lacks in technical experience so I relied on him heavily to make several choices, and he was decisive and worked confidently despite the ambiguity. I would love to work with him again in the future!"

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to your messages. :-)
A problem is: How many clarifying questions do we want the computer to ask? How many much judgement do we want the computer to exercise?

There are going to be many tasks for which we don't want any independent judgement to be exercised by the machine. And for those tasks, we're going to still want a highly structured language.

> Half of the disagreements on HN result from misinterpretation of very specific, rather unambiguous statements.

Disagree, it's almost certainly more or less than half; it's incredibly unlikely that these statements would account for exactly half of disagreements. Furthermore the statements in question are rather specific and very unambiguous, not the other way around.

Scala has well documented compiler passes which act on the full AST, so they're also source -> source. You can print the AST after any pass, using a command line flag. It's not as easy as a Lisp, but useful when you're working on a compiler plugin or extension.
HN says that they are the ads on the platform - they’re a perk for the companies who have been accepted to YC and want to attract talent to their startup.

If blocking them does not financially impact HN, blocking them would certainly make the life of that startup harder than it needs to be. Particularly as none of the arguments that routinely get used against trackers actually seem to apply here.
I don't think there is anything that a different language here is going to accomplish that a library couldn't, it seems like the main advantage is the environment that allows for more fluid iteration combined with functions for audio.
