> you have zero personal experience with depression. I hope you never experience it- it's hell.

Do not even begin to assume what I have been through. The difference you might be failing to realise in your long essay on the behalf of others is that to go "through" something is to come out the other side.

You've already made your assumptions so I highly doubt you'll listen to me much further, not do I want to gain "e-points" by listing out all my ailments. I can assure you however, that I have received professional help for both depression and other mental conditions in my life.

The difference being, that my doctors and I were able to look at the root causes, and able to work out of it. Meds were weaned off as soon as I was put on them, and not looked at as a source of pharmacy income the rest of my life. Nor, now, a brainwashing device that can zap you for your hourly dose of Facebook ads. Thanks science.

By a large margin, the reason people get depressed is because their life is at odds with their expectations. The father is depressed because they want freedom. The teen is depressed because they want to feel genuine love, etc.

The only way out of that is to calm (which meds can temporarily help) then figure out a plan to make the life they do want, then actively working towards that, while managing expectations and inevitable disappointments. Sunlight and physical activity goes a long way in putting the body's regulation system back into action.

Everyone just gets stuck up on "ok, meds." And don't follow through with the rest of it - actually improve your life - and expects everything to be better somehow. Painkillers while keeping the hand on the stove.

No need to get hostile. You've made an unsubstantiated claim, I'm asking for some proof of which there's still none. Remember, I tried the exact same test with the login as you, and couldn't reproduce.

Like I said, there's a number of reasonable reasons why your account didn't get deleted, all of them pass the Occam's Razor test a little better than "Facebook just didn't delete my account/is not deleting accounts in secret".

You're making a statement which, if true, is huge -- that Facebook is secretly retaining accounts after deletion, despite multiple credible sources (IE: TIME) running detailed articles to the contrary. On top of that your anecdotal evidence is contradicted by my anecdotal evidence. So I hope you understand if I don't take this at face-value.
5 minutes is actually on the low end. I put it more as a minimum that really disrupts my flow. Below 5 minutes is kinda tolerable... 5 minutes to 5 hours... not so much.
Young me went to a solar exhibition at Brookhaven National Labs around 1978 or so. They had an electric car (maybe the Electrovette?), photo electric panels and outside someone showing how to make a forced air solar heater. It was an insulated box with a glass or plexiglass window to allow light in. Inside was an array of cut up soda cans, all painted black. A port for air inlet and a port for outlet and voila.

[I'm pretty sure this was in BNL's old graphite research reactor building, which was open for tourists. I've since learned that this was an air-cooled reactor like the one in the famous UK Windscale accident, and that it has now been completely disassembled.]

Solar was big then- I remember a talk about it at the local library also. People were making parabolic solar hot-dog cookers.

And the only reason why a national, NIH payment system like Twint became "popular" was that all bigger Swiss banks for several years refused to allow regular mobile payments (i.e. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay) for their credit cards.

Since 2019, more and more banks have started enabling regular mobile payments, so it's going to be interesting to see where that leaves Twint (I've never used it, so I have no idea what reasons one would have to use it over NFC payments, other than lack of support by one's card provider).

It is illegal to initially steal data.

But can you clarify which law would be violated by downloading it? And by "illegal" do you mean civil or criminal law?
True, these people are all self employed, so insurance costs would be pretty large. If you're making 200k I'd still say you've probably got at least 100 left over after taxes and insurance. That affords you a 600k house using the 30% of income rule if you can get the down payment together.

Good! Apple has had a very weird agreement with the issuer banks and payment networks covered here by the WSJ https://archive.is/H37WU (Please, support them if you can afford it, they produce wonderful journalism)

Tl;dr:
- Banks agreed to pay Apple 0.15% of transactions

- Payment networks allowed them to select which banks and which cards would be supported. The industry standard is, if you support one card you have to support all

- Somehow, the payment networks convinced Apple to agree not to compete with them by creating their own payment network in exchange for favorable terms

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. If you look at most of the high profile hacks and leaks in the past 20 years, very few of them are from web 2.0 tech companies (e.g. Google, Facebook) rather than dinosaurs (ex. Target). Those that have (like Google) have only been successfully breached by nation actors (e.g. China, NSA).

As far as I can tell, there's no data to back up the assertion that these large tech companies are disregarding security if favor of profits, except for Twitch now, which is why this leak is interesting to me.
Its just an engineering problem of how to get more of it's wasted energy onto the earth using space solar arrays

It does because calling that function adds a new control flow edge out of the block it is in, which means you can no longer prove certain cleanup code can safely be elided.

Additionally the fact that C++ does not annotate whether a function throws in its signature that means you need to generate unwind data for most non-leaf functions since (short of whole program LTO) there is no way to safely to know that the functions they call don't throw. That means the size of the metadata necessary to support unwinding grows with the size of your binary, not the portion of the code using exceptions.

Finally, C++ exceptions are dynamic, which imposes a higher cost when they are actually used than a static exception model.

In general I suspect that explicit error handling (as is done in the Swift ABI) would result in better code because it would make the control flow edges more optimizable and optimizer could safely assume many functions don't ever need to be unwound. It would certainly make the binaries smaller due to the reduction in size of unwind tables (although some people including Stroustrop[1] argue there are ways to do similar optimizations to elide unwind data with existing C++ compilers, but I am not sure if anyone has ever built such an optimizer).

There is some discussion about adding a static exception model (with annotated functions) described in P0709[2]. Various parts of that are controversial, though I hope the committee eventually finds a way to agree to some variant of it, because it would allow unification with other languages (it is semantically equivalent to Swift Error handling), and there are even C proposals that would be interoperable[3].

Full disclosure, I work on a dynamic linker written in C++, so I spend all day long writing C++ code that is built without exceptions or most of the standard library, but is part of the runtime machine that enables exception handling.

Again, this

>>We should change them such that executives face direct personal punishment for negligent or intentional harm. We should have learned that lesson during the 2008 financial crisis, but instead nobody did time

does not contradict anything else.

But this

>>So either this is exactly what they want or they're hopelessly incompetent.

is incorrect. Those are not the only two options. Reality is typically more complex, and more boring than that. Doing harm does not require willful malice or profound stupidity and trying to reduce it down to that does no one any good.

Not that after investigation we could find that it was really one of those two cases for many people! But 'negligent harm', which is something you want people to be held accountable (me too!), does not require gross incompetence. It can be as simple as ignoring a couple inconvenient truths and being insulated from the consequences of ones decisions, or the cumulative outcome caused by the group.

> you must waste extra time to check each function definition to see whether it does the right thing

I think I see what you're arguing. That this:

reg1 &= ~(width_mask_1 << shift);
reg2 &= ~(width_mask_2 << shift);
reg3 &= ~(width_mask_3 << shift);
// etc...

is clearer than something like this:

reg1 = ClearBitField(reg1, 1, shift);
reg2 = ClearBitField(reg2, 2, shift);
reg3 = ClearBitField(reg3, 3, shift);
// etc...

If that's what you're arguing, I simply don't agree. `ClearBitField` is descriptive and readable. It avoids creating all those width_mask_n constants, since you specify the width as input to the fn. You don't have to go digging into `ClearBitField` because you wrote a unit test to confirm that it does what it says on the label and handles the edge cases.

On top of that, the code inside `ClearBitField` can be as verbose or as compact as you desire, because it's contained and separated from the rest of the code.

We used DigitalOcean Spaces for some time, but it works very slow. Every few requests we get 500-5000ms delays. So we switched to Amazon S3 and it works much better.
So when I first saw R2, I was sure we're gonna migrate as soon as we can. Post mentions that Backblaze and Wasabi offer better prices, but I couldn't find any reviews at the time when we migrated to amazon. Is it gonna work as DigitalOcean? How often there's downtime? Does anybody use them and has opinion?

We need serious regulation on social media sites that collect this much personal information, meaning stuff people post that is intended for a very limited, controlled audience, and not wall posts that are public to everyone. (Like HN.)

I think the problem is what someone pointed out to me yesterday: tying DMs to a "real" identity. Purchases are already tied to who we are, and so are every form we sign that has significance. Phone companies know whos in our address books. Email is 100% insecure, always has been. The last thing to protect is the DMs.... which is probably too late.

I think the issue is that without a) all documents being public from day 1, and b) all processes controlled, audited, and strictly overseen by an independent third part who is just as open and public from day 1, this process is ripe for corruption.

What inconvenience?

All the Chase credits cards show up under a single login; you can pretty much simply login once a month a pay all 9 or 11 of them at once. Or setup auto-pay. Or change the due-date to be the exact same date for all of them, so you only have to login and pay exactly once a month.

I have all 11 of Chase credit cards in Google Pay. If I switch phones, they're already available for verification on the new phone, you don't have to type the whole number anymore. I keep all but 3 to 5 credit cards in a sock drawer; but I can still use any one of them 20 at any time thanks to Google Pay.

When I need to use any one of my 20 cards to make a purchase, simply scroll through and select, based on picture and/or description. If vendor doesn't accept contactless, simply use one of the 5 physical cards I do carry.

The only inconvenience is that it doesn't work on iPhone, and that's one of the reasons I don't use iPhone as a primary phone, because so many things don't work there.

To me it's pretty coincidental if the letters for this person's full name just happen to be this person who also has other characteristics matching the description including facial scars from one of the police sketches.

Small story about that: I know someone that works in a small/medium company (~70 people) that started as a startup. The initial dev team was made of Scala devs, that used a microservice architecture. After a few years, Scala devs became too expansive for the company, so they slowly replaced them with PHP devs. The PHP devs weren't the best around, so they built a buggy and stateful monolith [1]. Now they are slowly switching to TypeScript with Nest and Next, again in a microservice pattern, with more experienced developers. They're trying to slowly replace the monolith (strangler pattern I think?). A few Scala microservices are still around, which takes an expensive dev to manage.

I don't have any conclusion about that story.

[1]: Important mention: "monolith" here isn't correlated with "buggy and stateful", you can build a stateless and bug-free monolith, just like you can build stateful and buggy microservices. It just happens to be the pattern they developed.

I remember talking to a couple of tiny house builders few years ago. Rules for tiny houses vary wildly depending on the state and the county. There is no central place where the builders can look up the rules (at least that was case few years ago). In many cases they have to call the county office or go in person to get the latest rules, it is a hassle.

They were willing to pay a few hundred dollars every month just to be able to access up-to-date rules in one place.

I wonder how many of these compliance driven innovation opportunities (great term, btw) there are, thanks to bureaucracy.
That seems like it lands in the distribution ballpark the comment above was referring to, yes. The poorest 10% not paying very much in taxes is a feature of the system. And assuming your figures are correct, that 71% might look like a lot until you consider that the marginal tax rate for the very rich is very, very low in the United States compared to other developed countries, or even the United States prior to the Reagan administration.
