I'm a little more positive about this. A careful code reviewer might be able to spot generic security or even logic flaws in code, such as inappropriate use of strcpy in a C program or code which is unreachable in a way that cannot be detected by the compiler. Also there's a lot of scope for automation, such as running Coverity or other free and commercial linters/checkers, although also a danger of overwhelming the results with false positives and junk.

> While true in essence, I don’t think that the German society broadly shares the value of privacy to a level that warrants such excessive restrictions.

You are wrong. I have been living in Germany for almost a decade and it absolutely does. In fact, it is one of the things that I appreciate the most about German culture.

Maybe privacy preferences are a bit incoherent sometimes, but nothing is perfect, and I much prefer that we err on the side of protecting privacy too much than too little. Especially in this brave new world we live in, were culture is being slowly but surly manipulated by powerful interests to erode the right to privacy more and more.

Hey everyone, just piggybacking on this thread with an Instagram problem - maybe someone has a suggestion or a similar issue.

My account has been deactivated suddenly and I lost a lot of information that I had on Instagram - private messages, pictures and people that I followed.

I've been trying to recover it for months. I suspect that Facebook most probably is still keeping this data, I just can't get access to it. While this has been a wonderfully liberating event, I'd like to get access to my data.

Does anyone know where to request data (I'm in Europe so GDPR) even if the account is deactivated and I cannot login? If the only way to do this is to know someone at Facebook it's a bit silly.
Thanks, perseverance and patience were the only things going well for me. My key takeaway would definitely to give products at least 2-3 years before shutting them down. Most apps take a long time to get noticed and SEO works only after a year of effort.
I disagree. Aside from the possiblity of collected data landing in the hands of government fairly easily, this isn't the only reason for privacy protection. I would also dispite that it got out of hand in some cases, although it is often just applied wrongly. It isn't as popular anymore since the normal user is just annoyed by the cookie popups and in his mind data protection instead of the site owner tracking people like there is no tomorrow.

This entirely misses the point of code review.

Say it with me: Code review is a knowledge transfer exercise.

Finding bugs, security vulnerabilities, and keeping the code maintainable are merely side effects that we appreciate along the way.

The primary purpose of code review is increasing the bus factor of the given piece of code and facilitating organic knowledge transfer. That's it.

Reminds me of dialing into a BBS way back when, that early on was just someone with a non-dedicated or dedicated telephone line hooked up to their personal computer's modem; you could connect to fun, non-real-time multi-player text-based games (ASCII art FTW!) hosted on their PC, and some had file servers open for download and sometimes upload.
Meta: Let say I'm 30 years old, healthy, vaccinated with JJ over 6 months ago. Denmark, Sweden, Finland have banned Moderna for younger than 30. Some countries were recommending it to people over 50. Whole communication is a mess.

Should I get a booster shot? What are the pros and cons? Is there any data on that? I asked a friend doctor and she said that I should get a test for antibody count (a lab one, not garbage test you can buy anywhere)

I was quite sick from the last shot so I'd like to avoid it. I probably had Covid in April 2020. (no tests, I had a unusually mild cold-like symptoms and my partner lost the sense of taste for a few days)

Risks (Yes, I know some of them are extremely small)

- Booster won't help with stopping transmission

- myocarditis[1], allergy reaction (boosters are only Pfizer and Moderna, which I haven't taken), driving to and from, catching COVID and other diseases in the walk-in centre.

- I could spread COVID to people in the queue for booster shots, doctors and nurses.

[1]hence the ban it for younger males in some countries.

As a consumer I feel more trapped than protected. Instead of really disincentivizing the abuse of data, there is now a complicated network of bureaucracy that has been externalized from the EU via companies to the consumer. For the industry it is now about gathering consent from the user through dark patterns and making sure that each of n rules is fulfilled, while the data itself is most likely just as abused as before.

I think that is is important to take into consideration all off the possible additional overhead and costs. Just because something can be done it doesn't mean that it has to be done. The main question is, why do you have a website? If it is to learn new things, to play around that frequent changes are ok. But if you need something that will be stable, and easy to maintain over a long period of time you should be more careful with your choices.
Centralization is a human nature. Internet is already decentralized but we still tend to congregate in common space. Even with web3, organizations like polkadot are creating a centralized space around them. So I doubt we will ever achieve true decentralization there will always be a hierarchy and a central body that will have more control over it.

> Single-use containers are 25 cents, indeed, but a lot of the stuff you will buy is multi-use, and there things vary. Multi-use plastic bottles and large glass bottles usually have a 15 cents deposit, and small beer glass bottles it is only 8 cents, unless they have a clip-lock (Flensburger e.g.) then it's 15 cents again. Vine bottles are extremely confusing, ranging from no deposit, to 2 or 3 cents, to 15 cents.

To add to all of that confusion; Some brands of yogurt in glass jars also have a deposit on them, while most other yogurt glasses don't.

On the one hand, lacking broader context might make this service seem silly.

However I think it can help bust groupthink

It’s still valuable to get more general feedback and ideas explicitly without context to challenge our attachment to current practices in existing codebase schools.

It’s nice to get a pair of eyes with a completely different background give feedback. With context we may have blinders on. A fresh perspective might uncover things we haven’t thought of and bust groupthink

Even though I’ve been coding in Python for years, I still might not have awareness of the best most effective way to do something in general. Imagine all the projects started in the last few years from people learning Rust for the first time?

It may not make sense for the largest, most complex code bases, but I can see it valuable for medium to small projects to get outside perspective.

There was a story of some rental car that couldn't be unlocked again on some remote parking lot, because it was out of range. The customer did nothing wrong. They ended up having to tow the car in the end, if I remember correctly.

With actual possession of vehicles going down, in favor of leases (or leases-to-buy) and short term rentals/"ride-sharing", and with ever more permanent monitoring, the future seems to go into a direction where you're required to have a constantly available data connection in your car back to the car company or lease company, and they will be able to remotely disable access if you don't pay up. And they will probably consider loss of such connection as "tampering" and disable the cars until it gets online again.

So true! I hear small businesses and freelancers complain about being kicked of Twitter, OnlyFans, Youtube, Facebook, etc.

One might not immediately make money with a website (although you sure can!), but the moment you are kicked of some platform, you have a safe haven to fall back on. A place where you can share the same textual or visual media with your visitors(/followers/friends/fans/connections). But instead of organizing a party and renting some space, you make it a house party, where you are the host.

The only moderators on your website are you, your webhosting provider, and the government (I call it GovMod).

Ask HN: Advice for running a trading side project
Hi,

We are 3 people (2 developers + 1 trader) who are making trading tools intended to trade our own capital.

So far we have a desktop application which is a UI for the trader to interact with. And a modular monolith for the backend with MongoDb as a database. We also have a number of jobs that need to be run on the regular (mostly to keep required data up to date in mongo). All the source is in C#.

We only have a local environment. We want to expand to have a development and a production environment. What is the best way to do this?

We have some CI, but how do we do CD? Where should we run the backend? How do we deploy the UI to the traders desktop?

We want to keep the costs low and we got burned by an unexpected bill when trying to run this on Azure (which Microsoft luckily waived). We considered having a script which the trader runs which will essentially do a git pull and then run the build and run scripts. But that way we lose control over the backend.

Any suggestions welcome,

Thanks
In my country (USA) flu vaccines are certainly not "reserved for the sick and elderly," they are emphatically recommended for almost everyone.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/flushot.htm

>CDC recommends use of any licensed, age-appropriate influenza vaccine during the 2021-2022 influenza season.

>Everyone 6 months of age and older should get an influenza (flu) vaccine every season with rare exception. CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has made this recommendation since the 2010-2011 flu season.

>There are many flu vaccine options to choose from, but the most important thing is for all people 6 months and older to get a flu vaccine every year.
Not legal advice.

As long as you’re not distributing it, and it’s not a controlled substance, I have never seen someone charged or prosecuted for having their prescriptions mailed from Canada or India, or making a run to Canada and Mexico for them. There is even a healthcare system in Utah (if I recall) that pays their members for their Mexico run for pharma that is substantially cheaper there than the US. Also, a recent HHS ruling allows the importation of drugs from
Canada for a handful of states.

> The rule paves the way for Florida, Colorado, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and New Mexico to begin the process of implementing laws they have passed to allow certain prescription drugs to be imported. The states must get approval from the HHS to begin their programs.

This did actually happen with bottled water- New York State started charging 5-cent deposits on plastic disposable bottled water, and so now some bottled-water companies sell bottles in non-deposit states with different labeling and barcodes. That seems like an exception though, since it's not often the case with other deposit beverages.

The weird one to me is that- due to various archaic laws- in New York state carbonated hard cider in cans or bottles is not considered the same as other carbonated alcoholic beverages in cans, and is exempt from all the deposits. I'm a bit surprised they haven't changed that one.
A relative's account was hijacked. Her name was replaced with another name, but the photos and friends list etc remained. I reported it, and FB deleted it. She created a new FB account.

The moral of the story is to backup Facebook, and never rely on it for anything that you don't mind using.
I'm sure there are a number of factors worth considering here which could account for some of the data, but if vaccines were truly as efficacious as governments and pharma companies have been suggesting then given the success of the UK vaccine rollout can we honestly say this is the trend we would expect to see?

I completely accept this isn't proof that vaccines are not effective at managing the pandemic, but the fact data like this is so hard to justify within the context vaccines being highly efficacious it's a bit concerning, especially since it's not like we have much of a choice but to get it here in the UK. My partner is getting her booster today, not because she wants to or feels she needs to (also had a prior infection) but because she feels pressured by government policy. Then just last night I was out shopping and a ~30 y/o guy in the store was complaining about having chest pain since getting his booster, and I've had many similar experiences over the last few months. I hate brining up anecdotal evidence because I know it means nothing, but what I'm seeing with my own eyes in the real world and in the data right now is so hard for me to understand within the context of a safe and effective vaccine. If the data was clear then fair enough, but it's far from clear. I don't want that to be the case, but it is.

What's worse is that every time I've brought this up the response I've received has basically been dismissal, "must be some explanation, vaccines are effective".
It doesn't allow "everyone" to query it. You need to be a german citizen. You also need to provide either "gender and birth date" or the "address" of the person you're looking for, along with their full name.
You are right, this change makes the drop-in snippet more robust: If one issues `set -u` before trying or deciding whether to redefine `:` (which would also be the effect of invoking the interpreter with the `-u` option), the variant presented in the article breaks. If the shall-we-redefine-: check has already been performed before `-u` is in effect, the alternative implementation of `:` itself will work fine.

It's kinda unfortunate this slipped through, because before I tried to "formalize" this little trick in the article yesterday, I definitely remember having used variants that guarded against this little nasty trap you now independently rediscovered ;)

Would you mind me updating the article accordingly, and crediting your HN account name/profile in the changelog?

Thanks a lot for your rigorous reading and very constructive feedback! :)
Until courts start looking at the fraud behind it.
All the data is stored in the car and next time during regular service it gets transferred to the manufacturer using wired connection? Have no proof for that, but it sounds very reasonable and technically doable to me.
Collaterals don't require ownership by bank where I live. Loaned cars are owned by their loaners (but leased cars aren't, although they may transfer ownership to the leaser after a period of time, depending on the terms of the lease). Not sure how these things work in the UK, though.
Tesla still has remote access to the cars its has sold and can unlock them if the authorities request them to do so. If that is not a backdoor I don't know what is.

Evidently, the car isn't yours, even though you have paid for it. Tesla still owns it.

I think that could actually be a problem. NOYB, a nonprofit GDPR watchdog in Austria, has firmly set its sights in enforcement on Google Analytics and Facebook/Twitter buttons because they are easy to remove. I think small mom&pop shops would have to go back to getting analytics via web server logs. Even small hosters like https://www.dogado.de/website/hosting (wanted to actually link to CampusSpeicher but they seem to have been acquired) offer this (see under Highlights > Website-Statistiken).

To be clear, NOYB allows 60 days after notification for removal (instead of 30 allowed by the law) before complaining to the national data protection agency and even then agencies rarely give out serious fines if you are ready to comply and did not grossly misuse the data, at least in Sweden: https://www.enforcementtracker.com.
There is clear line between human and animal intelligence, the language. It's this ability to exchange information about arbitrarily complex ideas, or, one might say, to exchange and store thoughts in a serialized form, that sets our intelligence apart and opens the possibilities for a civilization as advanced as ours. No other species on this planet has I/O capabilities this advanced.

35 years ago, that same question was asked, but in a different context. It was thought that when there are BASIC and spreadsheets there is no need to do any more serious coding.

Even more so 25 years ago when various GUIs became ubiquitous.

About 20 years ago, Flash and Dreamweaver were promising the same.

You see where it's going.
In my experience, Facebook ignores GDPR requires coming from the UK… not that you can really submit one if your account is suspended. The more reports the ICO gets, the bigger the chance that they'll do something about it.

Of course there is a cost to market regulations. If you require proper waste management, some industries will have to pay an additional cost compared to just dumping the waste. Few companies in the world have ever said "we will continue to hurt the environment despite the costs". The political gamble with regulations is that there exist competition and through that there will be companies willing to follow the regulation in order to access the market and earn profits.

No matter how much privacy laws and regulations occurs within EU, it is unlikely that companies like google, apple, Microsoft or amazon will ever be willing to completely give up on the European market. There is simply too much money to give it up and have competitors take it. The websites that might be willing to exit the market is those that already have very little stakes to remain, like American news sites that focus on specific regions and demographics in the United States. For HN readers we tend to see those for time to time, but I doubt many other Europeans notice much of sites that already exclude European traffic.
