But why draw the line there? If we are making the whole chain liable then why not make the phone case manufacturers and app development shops liable too? They are only one hop down the chain and have the resources too.
One of the anomalies of English is the spelling bee. I can't really speak any other language, but I've been told that the idea of such a bee in most languages wouldn't make any sense because everything is spelled - if not exactly how it sounds - then with a consistency that makes the spelling simple. Here, all we have (even for English speakers) is brute force memorization. If you don't know how vacuum is spelled, then good luck guessing.

By photo tagging, do you mean GPS coordinates? Isn't that done by the app that takes the picture?

On Facebook and many other social apps you can manually specify the location a photograph was taken. Some apps will ask you for the location if it's not available from the operating system or metadata.

Can't I disable Wi-Fi?

Sure. Go nuts. But you have to connect to the internet somehow to use the app, so if you're not on wifi, it can get your location from your cellular network.

> I can't believe how much union busting is going on in these comments.

I'm guessing a mix of: professional shills and marketing firms trying to build consensus by appealing to high earners (plenty of them on HN) + the concentration of knowledge worker types on HN, who, in many cases, went straight into tech and haven't had to deal with truly shitty work experiences.

I'm reminded of my brother's roommate at Carnegie Mellon who went straight into a (scholarship-funded) Master's program, then a FAANG immediately out of school musing about how easy it is to have insurance, a nice car, and "why can't they just figure it out?". Super nice guy, but also living in a different universe.

After my PD diagnosis, I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex and sinemet as the disease progressed but didn’t help much. In July last year, I started on PARKINSON DISEASE TREATMENT PROTOCOL from Akanni herbal centre (www. akanniherbalcentre .com ). Few months into the treatment, I made a significant recovery. After I completed the recommended treatment plan, almost all my symptoms were gone, had wonderful improvement with my movement and tremors . Its been 6 months since I completed the treatment, I live a better life
Obesity is not an independent variable - socialized healthcare does a better job of controlling obesity with preventative health measures.

"The government argued that since Snowden had failed to provide the book for a contractually obligated review, he had no right to the profits from the book or his public speeches. Snowden’s lawyers have countered that it would be impossible for the book to receive a good-faith review from the government."

I agree with Snowden on this one. He's said repeatedly he's willing to return to the US and stand trial on the condition he's allowed to argue to the jury why he did what he did -- which isn't allowed when one is tried for treason (you either did it or you don't and there's no leeway for justified defense or jury nullification).

Given those circumstances I too would stay in Russia -- where at least I knew I could be free...
> Or a barebones box from Vultr or Linode then log errors out to stdout

So instead of talking with customers and growing your business you are busy wasting your time installing a web server, database server, configuring build tools, etc?

Getting root access to a barebones linux install is conceptually "not complex". But that is only because it pushed all the actual complex stuff up the food chain and into your head. A head that needs to be thinking about everything but how to configure apache or the load balancer or postgresql.

> keep it simple and boring

Installing a web server from a package manager and configuring it in a repeatable way is not simple and boring. A single person startup doesn't have the bandwidth to do that.
Look at the "Population by country of birth 1900-2016" graph for Sweden [1]. It is at ~100% in 1900, and ~82% in 2016.

The US went from 87.9% white in 1900, to 72.4% in 2010 [2]. Unfortunately, I couldn't find such demographic histories for other countries. But search for "US/Europe becoming more diverse", and you'll find countless articles, from mainstream publications, asserting this. So to claim otherwise is extremely fringe.

And there is mathematically no way for a place to be becoming more diverse, while keeping historically constant migration. If the migration hadn't changed in some way, then it would already be diverse. It also means that, if it's becoming more diverse, that it was less diverse, i.e. more homogeneous, in the past.

Looking at the present, China is 91.6% ethnically Han [3], and Hungary is 93.5% ethnically Hungarian [4]. So unless you think China or Hungary or US in 1900-1970 are "the most remote parts of the world", then no, homogeneity is provably not a fallacy.

So yes, "People have been migrating from place to place for all of recorded history", but both the rate and nature of this migration changed, and just a quick glance at the headlines of virtually any news source is enough to tell you this.

Perhaps you could expand a little more on what you're actually asking. As it stands, this is seriously under-specified.

Worth stressing that this might be how unions work in the US (if that's really so generalisable). In western Europe unions are definitely not so exclusionary
Most implementations where there's only a disclosure/consent button are not compliant and are as good as not having anything.

Here's how the GDPR options of an European website looks like: https://imgur.com/a/ckOivi7

That "Analytics Advertising Feature" MUST be unchecked by default. Only users that actually want to be tracked are tracked.

Every "tracking feature" (cookies, fingerprinting, IP tracking, whatever) must be hard opt-in, and the website has to provide an option for the user to opt-out if they change their mind.

If a website only use functional cookies (colours, session, login, cart, language) they don't need consent, just disclosure (and it doesn't have to be an ugly cookie bar).
They already have all of that. Android and Google search are localized to Turkish.
I'd love to see a primer for leveraged diversification for people at the Bogleheads level. A lot of people are under the impression that a three-fund portfolio is the pinnacle of responsible self-investing, or a target-date retirement fund. But when I dig in I see people regularly make the point that that isn't true diversification, that asset class diversification isn't sufficient, that diversification is about measuring what investments move counter to each other in different macroeconomic environments, that leveraging is good, etc. I want to know more about how to apply all that when managing retirement funds at Fidelity or Vanguard, but I'm never going to work for a quant firm.

> I think the point is that you might be able to build something else than a standard relational db and make it faster.

I sincerely doubt that.

For it to be useful in real world situations, you'd have to build your own highly flexible, scalable, rock-solid, high-performance data-management solution, ideally one which enables the user to use a declarative means of expressing queries.

This is, of course, a DBMS.

If you build one which imposes structure on the data, you've got either a relational DBMS, or an object DBMS, or some other kind of well-studied database solution... except you've rolled your own from scratch, without input from database experts, so it's going to be a disaster.

Unless you're someone like Microsoft, Google, or Amazon, you pretty much can't build one of those. It costs tens of millions. It takes a huge amount of testing, for obvious reasons.

I really don't see any argument for not using a mature database system for managing a typical company's data.

Of course, if we aren't talking about a full-scale database that has to cope with a huge amount of messy mission-critical data in a changing business environment, then the game changes, and sure, you might have a chance just writing something yourself.

Netflix's video-streaming CDN ('OpenConnect'), for instance, obviously isn't powered by an RDMS. They put in a huge amount of highly technical work building their own finely tuned technologies to pull data off the disk and get it to the NIC with minimal glue in between. But that's Netflix, and virtually no real companies face that kind of challenge.

Also, VoltDB looks like a streaming DB technology. Isn't that both an DBMS (rather than a means of rolling-your-own), and very niche? I don't see how it's relevant here. If it's really able to serve business needs better, then great, but it's still a complex-DBMS-as-a-product.
> The function of the website for the website owner is to make money.

Making money is not functionality to me. (Also, note that your website doesn't have to make money: I run my personal blog at a monetary loss, just like many other people.)

> The EU law says I have to disclose lots of stuff and get your consent before tracking you. So every website added a disclosure and consent button, and every user clicked on it.

Right, what they didn't realize that everyone would just make it super annoying in an attempt to lampoon the law instead of actually changing their behavior because they'd just make usage of their website conditional on it. Hence GDPR, where now users can actually click "no" and not be penalized for it.
Even if it was a clumsy self-promotion or over-ambitious fans with no clue on wikipedia inner mechanics shouldn't set back a viable interest on information about a given company or other entitity by a multitude of years.
After a deletion it's just magnitudes harder for anyone to get an article restored, compared to an entity which didn't have the "luck" to get added to wikipedia too early.
Deletion history shouldn't have that much of a say on actively developing entities as it has now.
"Imagine what sort of world we could have if the Silicon Six [gave the government more of the $15 trillion]."

The modern concept of wealth doesn't work that way.

If you transfer money from someone not likely to spend it any time soon (tax shelter) to someone who is going to spend it right now (the government), it works almost exactly like inflation.

And often the money isn't held in cash anyway. So, moving it to the government requires divestment. That divestment has consequences that are complex, and it's far from clear that the government would spend it better in every case.

Big Data. Ads and cookies have not always been around, but they've been around for a long time now. Tracking as much as possible of what you do on the net and in real life, and combining that data into large databases for mining, is relatively new.

Because you can’t opt out. Facebook creates shadow profiles for people who have never created an account. They track people’s faces in photos they appear in that were posted by friends. They link people’s personal information to their shadow profile whenever a user allows Facebook to access their address book contacts.

Facebook is a pervasive, all-consuming data monster. If lawmakers don’t rein it in, it will grow so powerful that it will challenge the sovereignty of governments. It’s not a joke.
The S.M.A.R.T. way to develop great objectives for you and your team
The most impressive architecture I've ever seen was from these two consultants from a big-4 consultancy that had been sitting at a desk at the customer site for literally years. They had lunch together, never talked to anyone that I could see, and I didn't even know what they did for the first couple of years.

I walked past their desk one evening after hours and noticed a printed A3 page of their high-level design diagram. It was... spectacular.

It had over a hundred tiny icons, each representing various systems. Triangles for directory systems, cylinders for databases, and little arrows connecting these things.

You have to picture a spider web of connections between dozens of each type of system.

The notion that this could be implemented was absurd beyond all comprehension. Just one of the tiny little arrows was connecting SAP to a custom system vaguely similar to Siebel. This arrow represented on the order of thousands of tables and API endpoints that need to be hooked up. Another arrow connected an Active Directory with a million accounts to an Oracle directory of the same scale. Another arrow represented synchronisation between a cloud-hosted payroll service to an on-premises equivalent product.

Half the systems didn't exist. Three quarters of the connections didn't exist. Most would have to be written as bespoke code. Some of the arrows would in turn require load balancers, distributed systems, and change tracking databases of their own. We're talking thousands of man years of effort to implement this thing.

It was audacious in the breadth of its scope to the point of going past insane into the brilliant daring art that's only possible if you can appreciate it at the right level of understanding.

That understanding was that these two brilliant people had been collecting something like $4K/day each for years and produced something that dares your to call them on their bluff. But nobody dared say that the emperor has no clothes. They pulled it off.

I was truly impressed.

Aito builds a model for predictive queries in millisecond scale. It requires heavy optimizations and preparations in DB to reach the performance. The indexes are optimized for statistics, and there are extra datastructures not found in normal DBs.

The ML is also implanted inside the database to minimize various overheads, and to have direct access to data & invested. if you need to do thousands of statistical operations in 10ms, just IPC can become a huge overhead. You want to put data & math in same process.

Overall, its all based on tight AI+DB integration to enable the instant modeling.

> So, there are no competent, tenured teachers?

My middle/high school teachers certainly seemed to have an inverse relationship between tenure and effectiveness, with maybe two exceptions.

> They do not necessarily need to be the way a union operates.

And you aren't addressing what I'm saying: sure, meritocratic unions might exist, but given that this is about teachers' unions specifically, and given that (at least in my observation, as anecdotal and therefore flawed as it may be) teachers' unions seem to very rarely (if ever) be meritocratic, any mention of "oh but unions can be meritocratic" without even so much as providing an example seems off-topic and irrelevant.

Realistically, merit is much harder to measure than tenure. No surprise that tenure is consequently the more common metric by which teachers' unions measure the teachers thereof.

Unless it's changed recently, projects released under patching (again, not releasing) don't require a signed cla (edit: just checked and they don't). They're not Google owned, Google just maintains ownership of your contributions.

And if you look at the releasing guidelines, they only make sense for code developed in google3 and later released. You can't actually follow the releasing process for code developed on non-google hardware, your only option is to follow the patching or iarc methods, and patching is trivially easy and doesn't require anyone to sign a cla.

AHA? You mean the ACA? The US pays more for healthcare for a whole host of reasons split between different categories. The ACA only took on a very small aspect. The idea that getting close to 100% coverage means incentives like jacking up the prices because nobody covers the other guy's ER bill would get much smaller. I imagine the idea was changing other things made more sense to them after most everyone was covered.
