>>> Competitors such as China and the U.S. are already innovating quickly and projecting their concepts of data access and use across the globe,” it said.

Wait what? The EU's GDPR is seen as a globally leading "concept of data access and use". Several US states are putting something like it into place, and hoping to get Federal buy in. China, yeah DGAF, but saying "we are behind other governments on data and privacy" seems ... odd.

What do they mean then? Is this just a "single market or bust" thing?
>This guy never left the uk, yet he committed a us crime? If China had this power they could extradite almost every single American who watches porn.

Extradition usually requires it to be a crime in both countries. Ironically, due to obscenity laws, it might actually be possible to do it over porn in some edge cases.

>Clearly, this sets an expectation that if you live in a country with extradition treaties with the US, you better be rich enough to afford a US lawyer or smart enough to understand all of its countless number of laws on every level.

Unfortunately, this isn't even new. The case of Kim Dotcom shows just how ridiculously far US "law enforcement" can go at the behest of organizations such as MPAA/RIAA.

I find it weird how people compare a fine for some specific conduct to the revenue or profit of an entire company. In this case, the illegal use of facial recognition probably slightly increased engagement for photo sharing features. That’s worth something but it obviously only accounts for a very small portion of the company’s revenues.

If the story was “judge declares entirety of Facebook enterprise illegal, punishment is $550M fine” I would get the outrage.
Every one is different, and you did less damage thankfully. Now you’ve made a significant change for the better. Why not continue on that path by slowly weaning yourself off it? Besides the health angle it’s merely a waste of money and support of a shady industry. Take those funds and perhaps treat yourself to something positive.
Latency is completely true. Can’t be otherwise because speed of light is a thing.
There cannot be anything more fair than a free market because it allows competition and is voluntary.

Weight Gain After Hysterectomy? Here’s How to Lose IT
Even before ZFS I wanted there to exist a RAID array where you could just swap out a disk to increase capacity.

I wanted it in part for me, but I also wanted it for all the people in my life who were doing a terrible job of taking care of their important data.

“Don’t worry,” I wanted to tell them. “Get one of these, slap some drives in it. When you need some more space, buy a new drive, take the smallest one out and put the new one in.”

Some of the early PR for ZFS was unclear on whether that was possible, but I was excited. This was by far the closest we’d gotten. Later it was a feature we’d have soon. I waited to adopt. Apple was going to support it, here we come. Apple was not going to support it. Okay, NAS could still happen. Sun craters and I lose track, but check in every so often, and still nothing.

In the grand scheme of things, it is not the biggest tech disappointment I’ve suffered. But it feels like it should be in the top ten, even if it’s #10.
Don't get scared by this article and not use Alpine. It's perfectly fine to run Python and it's what we do with Home Assistant too.

Out here it is purely economics and population density. I live in West TN and the nearest cell phone tower is 7 miles in a straight line from my house. There is one provider that works here, and a good signal is 2 bards, but usually, 1 is normal and things like 4g or LTE rarely work.

I offered $1/yr lease to the providers, all of them, to put a tower on my farm and not one of them is even a little interested.
The dose makes the poison. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw the same effects with prolonged ultra-high doses caffeine or some other innocuous substance.
If there are no government laws preventing from competition popping up - it cannot lead to a monopoly. (I assume monopoly means certain business can sell their goods priced highly and competition cannot enter with lower prices)
Part of what makes sr.ht great is that it's made of tools that can be used together or separately. If you want to use it for just task tracking, great. If you want to use it for task tracking, git repo, and CI/CD, that's fine. If you want to use it for task tracking on a project that keeps code on github and does CI on gitlab... It still works great:)
Hence the use of the word "can".

The fact that "deal with it locally" was obvious to the author, but not to the people who inspired the author to deal with it that way (he mentions an EMR job), means there are those it may be worth pointing it out to.

Certainly, being reminded that you probably should solve your problem without distribution, unless you actually demonstrate that you CAN'T solve your problem without distribution, is nothing but a positive.

Free markets tend not to be free once you have monopolies. Try doing a partnership with LinkedIn for example to access their data (after they shut it down - https://thenextweb.com/dd/2015/02/12/linkedin-takes-aim-deve... ). As a small startup there’s no way you’re getting access - they’re simply going to ignore you unless you have some back door into the company. And that’s before you start talking price.
Did someone read the actual proposal? Article doesn't make sense: free access to some data sets and remove competition rules to improve competition? Hope it's not another incumbent lobby group carving I better deal for themselves.
I'm not fan of Facebook, but here it is in context:

> Total expenses were $12.2 billion in Q4, up 34%.

> Cost of revenue increased 25% and the growth was driven primarily by depreciation related to our infrastructure spend.

> R&D grew 36% and was driven primarily by increased investments in core product as well as our innovation efforts, particularly in AR/VR.

> Marketing and Sales grew 23% and was driven primarily by consumer and growth marketing.

> Finally, G&A grew 87%, largely driven by higher legal fees & settlements. This includes charges related to a $550M settlement in principle we reached this month in connection with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act litigation.

This is standard for earnings calls. The point is for the CFO to add detail to the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial numbers so that investors understand why they changed. As @joez mentioned, companies have to report financial numbers according to GAAP, which mandates that companies disaggregate costs into specific areas. Both good and bad companies face lawsuits all the time, and the legal fees and settlements will show up in G&A. If G&A expenses change in an unexpected way, it is expected that the company will communicate why.

There's definitely a lot that goes into crafting these calls, but having listened to and read more than a thousand of them, I don't think there was anything poorly done in this specific example.
It's an earnings call. He put it in the terms his audience expected. Nobody made any deal out of it except one HN commenter. So I think it's okay

Hard to say as I am not a power-user/coder by any standard least of all those of this forum. I've tried Python on and off over the years and the Spyder 3.x/Jupyter combo was the closest I could get to the kind of UI that Matlab offers: Variable inspector, debugger, persistent/docked plots, documentation, recordkeeping, etc. It wasn't clear whether the Spyder/Jupyter plugin was going to be maintained in future Spyder releases and the combo, although close, was not as smooth as I would have liked.

Ultimately, Matlab is a better fit for the things I want to do in technical computing. My employer offers it and Simulink with a wide variety of toolboxes and blocksets so I can get farther faster for the problems that interest me or that I am asked to solve. The new table datatype and the steadily improving Livescript make exploration and notetaking very easy. I've also been able to rely on Mathworks documentation to get up-to-speed in new areas.

I might misunderstand your meaning, it if I get it right (Free Markets good, regulation bad) it seems ... well we have heard it before.

We have a fairly free market in data right now, and we have weather apps selling everyone's location data to brokers who will provide marketing leads on pregnant single women with gambling problems - I don't think this is a situation most people feel is fine and dandy.

Most free markets aren't where any of us want to go. Well regulated markets are usually fine.

I guess it is a question of what you define as regulation.

>If there are no government laws preventing from competition popping up - it cannot lead to a monopoly.

Yes, it can. It is called a natural monopoly and it occurs when cost of entry and effects of scale are so large that the most efficient provider of a good or service is a single supplier. Not only do quite a lot of them exist, they're actually the desirable form of business in those cases as they provide goods at the lowest unit cost to the consumer. They need however to be regulated so that they cannot abuse their market power.
Yes, the article even states that in the first paragraph. Processing a few GB (the example in the post is not even in the two digit range) is easily done with basically any tool. Heck, someone could probably pull off something like that in Excel in a couple of minutes.

I think the point if the article is exactly that: Unless you have a couple of TB to process don't even bother. I remember a similar post in the same spirit that had a couple of GB in a Postgres database and ended like "Just do a simple query!" instead of a Hadoop cluster for simple map-reduce.

It's also worth mentioning that cash isn't necessarily any less expensive for merchants to accept. It is if you're talking about a small local business or something, but if you're paying for the actual labor of counting cash, delivering and depositing it to the bank, as well as the increased security risks and costs of holding large sums of cash, it starts to add up.
While I'm not a fan of the specific changes shown in this article, I do agree with the principle of "remove boilerplate when possible". I found that the largest amount of boilerplate I ever wrote was in main() to parse the command line, and to that end I wrote a "magic getopt", which handles both short and long options in-line without external tables (https://www.daemonology.net/blog/2015-12-06-magic-getopt.htm... ); and PARSENUM, which handles the common cases of parsing human-readable values while appropriately checking for overflow (https://github.com/Tarsnap/libcperciva/blob/master/util/pars...).

panic is a built-in and so was try:

https://golang.org/pkg/builtin/#panic

"The panic built-in function stops normal execution of the current goroutine. [...]"

It's not among the list of keywords: https://golang.org/ref/spec#Keywords

"Q: Why is try a built-in?

A: By making try a built-in, there is no need for a new keyword or operator in Go. Introducing a new keyword is not a backward-compatible language change because the keyword may conflict with identifiers in existing programs. Introducing a new operator requires new syntax, and the choice of a suitable operator, which we would like to avoid. Using ordinary function call syntax has also advantages as explained in the section on Properties of the proposed design. And try can not be an ordinary function, because the number and types of its results depend on its input"

You know that, I know that, and we can be happy that we have the experience to know what the right tool for this job would be by sizing up and describing the characteristics of the problem like you just did.

Some may think this problem requires MapReduce. The quote from the original implementation blog post certainly seems to indicate so.

Bureaucrats don’t make the innovations, you cannot innovate fast by having a “fast” government. Dictatorships are very fast, not necessarily very successful.

Regulation don’t really matter that much, the US states operate under the same regulations but you don’t have a silicon valley in every state.

What EU can do is to enable scale by having a level playing field and market access but even that won’t do anything about the language barriers, so the more successful innovators in EU are those who have good language education(alongside with good science education).

Well, with modern disk sizes it will almost certainly kick out all the drives sooner or later, making it essentially impossible to ever rebuild an array after a disk failure if you weren't scrubbing regularly before the disk failure (and dicey even if you were).
The 1995 is a little unfair to the current IPsec: The complicated part of the protocol had a compatibility breaking & simplifying major revision in 2005 (IKEv2).

I think the main reason of the less than polished IPsec experience is that operating systems didn't really promote it as a out of the box working feature, but instead just offered APIs that were mainly used by corporate VPN product vendors who didn't really want interoperation except as a checkbox feature. The early interop hassles are just a symptom of lack of testing and effort - when vendors are motivated and actually everyone's implementation of a standardised protocol to interoperate they organise interoperation testing events etc and make sure their products ship with configurations that actually do interoperate in the real world.

Your linked StackOverflow answer muddies the water too much - IKE was always the official keying protocol[1]. Yes you can use lower level IPsec parts without it with manual keying if you are a masochist or have a very simple topology (like a 2-host tunnel with static IPs), but the other keying methods are fringe or academic.

[1] IKE was finished later than the lower level parts of IPsec, technically there was a period in the beginning when it didn't exist and you had only manual key setup
