In that situation, the third-party that is actively collecting and transmitting the data becomes a controller and is subject to regulation.

And yet they may have no direct interaction with the user/data subject, who may not even be aware that they exist, so this model is still flawed.

"Data hoovering" is a misconception that allows millions of businesses who actively send customer data to Google/FB to shift privacy criticism onto the platforms.

I would have much more sympathy for this point of view if the likes of Google and Facebook were transparent with businesses integrating with them about what that really means in practice. For example, if we did a survey of local stores with simple websites that include any Facebook asset on their site, how many of them do you think could accurately describe the implications in terms of tracking their users? What about sites that use Google Fonts? I'm not even talking about asking businesses to actively upload their user contact details for targeting or deliberate tracking like Google Analytics or Facebook pixels here, just the incorporation of any third party resource into a website.

It's also important to say that this isn't just about Google and Facebook. Many third party resources you might incorporate into a site for some reasonable purpose could also be used for tracking, while the site operators may or may not be fully aware of what is being done and the visitors may not be aware of the resources at all. Think of a CDN used to improve performance or a payment service that recommends including its scripts across all pages on a site to feed into risk analysis, for example.

The general problem is the same in all of these cases. The way the technology actually works doesn't match with the way authorities are attempting to regulate it. Unless you're willing to interpret the current regulations strongly enough that some behaviours with legitimate uses are also effectively prohibited across the entire Web (at least within your jurisdiction) I'm not sure you can ever square this circle as a regulator operating within the current frameworks.
I spent some time in Germany, people usually had dinner "very early" there, between 19-20. I've also lived in Spain, where dinner is usually "very late" probably around 21. However they both actually felt pretty similar. The sun sets about 1h 20m later in Madrid than Berlin which would indicate that most of the difference is actually explained just by the difference in sunlight and summer days being a bit longer in Spain, I think it's mostly the perception side of what's late and early that's mostly cultural.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to suggest that the X devs are ignorant of this. I too have both deep respect and gratitude for the work they have done and continue to do.

I'm only frustrated that I can't get a straight answer as to what problems Wayland is solving that can't be solved with less difficulty and breakage by repairing X11. I'm sure the X.org developers have an answer, and I would love to know it, but I'm not getting it here in this comment tree.
The Sun is the original clock. It used to be that “noon” in any given town was when the Sun was directly overhead, so redefining our fake time to give humans more sunlight doesn’t feel weird to me at all. We only invented time zones so our trains would stop running into each other lol
Offtopic, but I like the web UI for its cookie use notification. It's fitting to the color scheme, not obtrusive and yet noticeable at the end. It's one of the best I've seen. Good job!
From a US perspective, this article was quite eye opening.
I was actually walking around a prefab home lot this afternoon. They firmly occupy the poorest rung of the housing market.
In Japan the cultural and build quality issues seem to have been surmounted. Very interesting.
> the shower room itself, even in nicer appartments, that ends up just being a block

These are the best! One of my favorite parts of Japanese apartments. They make so much more sense than standing in a narrow bathtub, next to a toilet, in a room where you can't splash water everywhere.

With that being said, I'll take the insulation and central heating/cooling from western housing.
Anyone who uses DynDNS is using Oracle Cloud.
In my opinion, this is not an appropriate item for HN. There is not even a tangential relation to technology and it seems likely to invite acrimonious rather than constructive debate. There’s a place for discussion of this nature but it’s not HN.
It exists on Apple platforms.

If nobody else is doing it, then perhaps it is Apple specific.
yeah but I also know about 4 or 5 women in australia that all have thyroid issues. and none have been anywhere near any known major sources of radiation.

Thyroid issues are super common. Might be related but also may very well not be.
I measured this previously on a Kill-a-Watt with a Prusa clona (Monoprice Maker Select v2). Heat-up sequence draws between 120-130W (heating both bed and hotend at the same time). Once at temp for PLA, it only draws around 80-90 average depending how many steppers are moving.
Ah, I didn't know that. Kudos to them!

Regardless of your personal opinions and/or biases, it is still a political banner containing the name of a political advocacy group on a software development tool project page with what I'm sure is a very diverse set of users.

Some folks actively avoid politics, and seeing it at Go doesn't increase my confidence in the judgement of the folks leading Go.

The "you're actively with us, otherwise you're against us" mindset must learn nuance. Not everybody has to be political all of the time.
Do you have to do anything special from a runtime instance perspective to keep it within 15MB? That seems really small for a GCed language.

From TFA:

> The researchers divided 500,000-plus cases into four categories: male doctors treating men; male doctors treating women; female doctors treating men; and female doctors treating women. “All of those are statistically indistinguishable except for male doctor–female patient,” says Brad Greenwood, an author on the study and a data scientist at the University of Minnesota. If a heart attack patient is a woman and her emergency physician is a man, he says, her risk of death suddenly rises by about 12 percent.
I don’t know what your attitude is about, but while prefab homes are done the world over, in the west they are often the poorest parts of society forced to live there due to no other options.
Culturally, this seems to be quite different.
The problem is that there's too much money lying around and nowhere to spend. Look at Softbank: throwing money at some most absurd companies with the hopes someone else will pick up dogs shit when they're gone. VCs are flushed with money and that's how the model works. At least for now.
I think (just a guess) that a wormhole is essentially a place where gravity is basically infinite (or at least at black hole levels), and that's what's connecting the parts of spacetime.

i.e. in order to warp spacetime enough, you need massive gravity. Or negative mass.

So any object passing through would be squashed to nothing.
Now this is baffling from even a lay perspective of evolution. Life evolves and survives based on success, not opinions. If seahorses favored a sex delineation where females gave birth they’d be extinct. Fortunately for seahorses they preferred mating.
when dyn got acquired, I stayed on for a while because I liked dyn. but after a bit, oracle cloud changed the terms and I didn't really like interacting with their systems or giving them any revenue so I switched to amazon, which has worked quite well for me.
It might be because of different display settings applied to different inputs.

Good luck Oracle Cloud Engineers! Been there, it’s not fun.
I thought this was the case! A commenter on a previous thread said this was really unlikely [0], but I really believe it happens. Not sure how to prove it though.

The mesh manipulation is what interests me as well. I feel like SQL allows for a unique opportunity to explore solutions that would otherwise be impractical/difficult to experiment with using hand-coded imperative methods.
> These statements appear contradictory.

You are right, they appear to be. Professionally, the only change is that now everybody is a little more like me and I'm less of a curiosity. On a personal level, we had a baby when the pandemic broke out last year so we've been more or less grounded because of that.
Beats calling a certain law the “patriot” act when it’s anything but.

Yeah, in other words, Stripe engages in exactly the unethical behavior I described above.

Why does Stripe not insist on requiring customer consent for this feature created supposedly for their convenience?

And we all know why: because a lot of customers would not consent to the thing Stripe does supposedly for their benefit.

And then you couldn't write articles and sell Stripe as a solution to extracting money from people who, in many cases, don't actually want to be customers.

You can blame people for not handling their finances better or claim that "everyone else is doing it" too, just like banks do with overdraft fees, but that doesn't make it less evil.

Rationalize it however you want. You're hurting poor people.
You can if you want an absolute maximum of what the thing can draw as a load, it'll be labeled, but very often the real world use of a thing with an AC to DC power supply is a very different wattage figure from what the power supply is theoretically capable of.

Such as having an ATX midtower size 'gaming' desktop PC with an 850W power supply, that might be measured at 350W at the wall under full CPU+GPU benchmark load.
Yep, my first experience with programming was TI-BASIC and all I had to go on was the TI-83 manual. I used a lot of GOTO until I figured out how loops worked.
I recently change the subnet my house network runs on. 90% of my devices just switched with DHCP, but there were a couple of laggards. It was a good exercise in figuring out where I had gotten lazy with my setup.

I feel like this would be a good exercise in how we handle clocks. :)
China is not doing maglev either. The only long-distance maglev line actually under construction in the entire world is the Chuo Shinkansen in Japan, and to avoid the property-destruction issue that requires digging 256 km (!!!) of tunnels between Tokyo and Nagoya.
Ask HN: How is software engineering / tech industry in Latin America?
I lived in Ecuador for a couple years as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

While in Ecuador I didn’t see many programmers, but now I hear more and more about the tech scene in places like Mexico and Colombia. How is your experience as a SWE / tech worker in Latin America?

I feel like it would be very nice if salaries in Latin America and other places would come up to the level of the US. With more remote work options it seems like that could happen. Of course the inverse could also happen where US salaries go down towards other places but I hope not.

> Seriously, I'll copy and paste stuff and it just won't run or it'll give an error on Windows, every single time.

I've had this as well, in part it's because I don't know PowerShell / CMD that well. I'd go for Mac, I did it and never looked back. Buy the new M1 Mac Mini even, if you have the spare money.

> I'm not sure if my brain is wired for it,

I've thought about this question as my brain partially isn't and learned a thing or two on how to overcome it.

My issues:

1. Being detail oriented isn't my strong suit.

2. For a long time I wasn't able to grok it.

3. I have hard time visualizing code.

My solutions:

1. Use all kinds of tools that will kill the detail. Simple things like syntax highlighers and linters are a given. The most bang for buck was when I learned how to use a debugger, that was almost 10 years ago.

2. Follow a computer systems course like NAND2Tetris and after that hack computers at hackthebox.eu (especially the x86-64 assembly challenges). By understanding the internals of how computers work at a systems level, you essentially are capable of grokking a lot more. Take a compilers course while you're at it, I failed mine, but learned a lot from it anyway that helped to grok more stuff.

3. Debuggers help here as well, practicing pure math helps (I'm not good at that either) and simply doing data structure and algorithm exercises help.

---

I've learned over time that making a statement like "my brain isn't wired for it" isn't helping. In part this is because it isn't true, what I was lacking was a certain perspective that comes quicker to some people. For me, it took some time, but now I have it :)
Isn't the problem more acute now that we have more needs for people at different longitudes to communicate? There's about half a degree of longitude between the (non-steam, admittedly) San Francisco and San Jose Caltrain stations, which means solar noon is just about two minutes different. You could, perhaps, say that arrival/departure times are always in local time. But you also have phones and video conferences now. If you have some folks working out of the SF office and some folks working out of the Valley office, are you going to pick one office and have all your meetings start at :58 or :02 in the other one?

Also how does the UX for this work? Does your car's computer tell you that the drive is going to be 50 minutes in traffic, and so if you leave at 6:00 you'll get there at 6:48? (Have you tried to use Google Maps across our existing discrete time zones without confusing yourself?)

Quantizing time zones also means that everyone's on the same modular time, too. I've got a handful of meetings at work aligned to the hour or half hour, and I show up to an open source project's weekly meeting that is also aligned to the hour. I don't know who originally set the meeting and where they are, but I don't care - it's sometime during my workday, and I can block off that hour. But if they live, say, 4h25m away from me (the solar-time distance from NYC ton London), it suddenly turns a one-hour spot on my calendar into a one-and-a-half-hour spot, because I can't usefully schedule something over that five-minute "leak."

... Also, solar noon drifts quite a lot! There is a half-hour difference between solar noon in early February and solar noon in late November, relative to a clock that's ticking at a steady rate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time). I guess you can say that computers can solve this too, but now you're suggesting that the second hand/field on your watch is running faster or slower than actual seconds, as your solar timezone slowly shifts. A solar day can be at worst roughly half a minute more or less than 24 hours.
Well I wasn’t the person who brought honesty into this. But there’s a clear bias in the responses I’m getting, as well as downvotes on links I’ve shared to biologists addressing facts, indicating an insistence on treating the categorization as more important than the experience of “exceptional boundary conditions”, who are human people you and everyone else here very likely know or have met.
I'd like to see legislation that essentially said all ad-supported products of a certain size have to offer a non-ads version. Price is up to the product maker, but start forcing consumers to see what producers think their data and eyeballs is worth
I was fine with that bias. No judgement if you don’t want to apply and send a video. Some judgement if you want to fill out the rest of the app and then just leave a portion out of it, making the rest of your time a waste.

And the mentorship was over video calls, so it’s not totally unrelated. My initial reasoning was just to make sure I could understand their spoken English enough to help, since I was offering it globally.
Why is hiding the scrollbar(s) today so necessary for real estate reclamation, when it wasn't necessary when 1024x768 was an above average screen size?

Mice with scroll wheels existed then, and were common, at least in Alaska, where I was at the time.

It's only in the last few years of computers with mouse-driven GUIs that suddenly the scrollbar is intolerable for UX people. Suddenly users are saying that a scrollbar is unacceptable? Really? Or are the survey questions worded to produce the results desired by the designer? The latter seems much more likely. (It's hard NOT to bias survey questions, if you don't know how easy it is to bias them accidentally.)

I can't believe that is the honest truth of the situation. I worked with my fair share of excellent designers, and I can't recall any of them ever groaning about any browser chrome, like a scroll bar, ever, with the notable exception of the viewable page space consumed by browser plugins which each added their own toolbar to the browser UI itself. What a horrid period of time that was...

If it is such an urgent need, where was that need 20 years ago? The web hasn't changed THAT MUCH. Scroll bars were an accepted thing; unquestioned. But today they're too intrusive? Or they consume too much space? What the?

I understand that the science of interactivity has matured, so I'm willing to admit that we know more about how users behave than we did 20 years ago. I still don't believe that any UI would ever benefit from hidden scroll bars over always visible scroll bars.
It's becoming less socially acceptable to be bad at a hobby. I kind of like football but wouldn't dream of calling myself a football fan in more knowledgable company.
Unreachable, they know how to pick a pun, don't they. I was thinking it meant to be more metaphorical
Your argument using IQ is silly, and not because of political correctness, but because IQ is not the best metric to use if trying to measure success at physics.

When trying to compare IQs between countries, there are systematic differences and systematic measurement errors.

When we start to talk about extremely skilled people with high IQs, it gets even harder to make sweeping generalisations.

The vacuity of your argument shines when you think that by decreasing the IQ cutoff by 4 to 126 will more than quadruple the number of applicants that pass, yet a population IQ difference of 4 is hardly likely to lead to much differentiation in output (because other factors like persistence are wayyyy more important - and limited immigration filters for people - people that tend to be high persistence achievers that tend to succeed in other areas of their lives, like physics!).

Just stick to the population numbers - which is all your argument washes down to.

Also generally beware of IQ arguments, because at an individual level, the standard error of measurement for IQ is 7: “Therefore, if a person had an IQ of 130, his or her score would be between 123 and 137 points 68% of the time (i.e., there is 68% confidence that the person’s IQ is somewhere between 123 and 137) and between 116 and 144 points 95% of the time.” as per https://www.questarai.com/resources-docs/briefs/Assessment-B...

Edited for clarity.
Remember that Apple is not for or against any particular type of content. It's for making corporate value and against losing corporate value.

The actions make a lot more sense when viewed through the lens of money rather than the lens of morality, ethics, or righteousness, which are concepts foreign to corporate ethos, and ones that they are under no obligation to treat with any manner of fairness or consistency.
Are you counting leap seconds? (UNIX does not!)
Can't be, if they were hosted at OVH the stuff not running in the burned down datacenter would still be online. But since it's the cloud, all the outages they have are typically (1) systemic and (2) global.
Adding, I’d be a lot more impressed with the idea we should “learn lessons” from Japanese Prefab if they had even a remotely volatile climate like most of the USA does.

What is the average temp swing per year in Japan? Like a 40 degree (F) swing over the year? Lol, ok, show me those amazing looking modern prefabs for places there you get 60 degree (F) swing in day and let’s see how they’re doing. Or that cool aluminum place with 2ft of snow on it. Etc.

Not that we can’t learn lessons, but I think structures just need a lot less engineering in Asia compared to other places.
If it was hiring locally in San Fran, maybe,but it's a fully remote company with many devs in places where things like stock options sound are as distant dream as $100K salary being on the low end of things. Europe is full of successful companies,albeit not necessarily with such valuations, where any stock distribution is unheard of.
Imagine just blasting out at a person that you've never met and know essentially nothing about, based on a few sentences they wrote regarding startup valuations that "they lack empathy". As in you are willing to assess this other person as being completely devoid of empathy.

That seems fairly insane.
Perhaps I missed something (and I don’t know Go at all), but if you’re keeping a background map in-sync for the pointer equality stuff to work out, doesn’t that imply it’s not actually 0-allocation? Or is this a go’ism where allocations refer to some subset of things?
I think being able to compare or hash IP addresses is a pretty baseline feature for an IP address type. I don't think that's some kind of unpredictable hindsight or tradeoff.
Watched the entire video. A greatly dispiriting example of regulatory capture. Not only does Boeing appear to own the FAA, it's bought off the DoJ as well. Thank you for posting the video link.
Those are generally for flights in the past or a day or two in advance though. You can get some idea of which plane has flown it before, but airlines can and do mix it up
Surely the simpler solution is to stop putting humans in cages. It's not clear that it benefits anyone anywhere.

Boeing is a prime example of the hazards of regulatory capture and "too big to fail." The way capitalism is supposed to work is if you mess up in a competitive market you are punished by the market. Further if you deviate from the industry standard of care, in a functioning legal system, you are sued by your customers / injured parties. Instead, in America, for at least the last 20 years there is no real penalty for messing up. The bigger the company the lighter the penalty. This will be the downfall of America. In the case of Boeing, it needs to be broken up. It needs to fail. There is no reason why America can not have 3 or even half a dozen competing jetliner manufacturers. That is how capitalism is supposed to work. In the case of online retail same story with Amazon. Marketing and shipping goods is something that is almost as old as trade itself. There is no reason we need to buy diapers from the same store that we buy an HD TV from. Healthy capitalism is supposed to be about competition and diversity of options where the best quality option rules out. It is not supposed to be about Wall Street or Fed fueled monopolies.
Has the American government banned it? It seems like a new world out there where corporates now dictate free speech and control the internet, instead of democratic government talking with all stakeholders and creating regulations to balance everyone's rights. I find this extremely disturbing.
This is far-fetched argument by who involved Tokyo Olympic. If they really think to support Tohoku area that damaged from tsunami/nuclear event, Tokyo, the most crowded and developed city, shouldn't be chosen.
