I work in Germany as a data analyst as well as a freelancer. It is trivially easy to comply.

The moment you want to monitor your users' behavior for whatever reason, though you need to ask them. They are not your guinea pigs.

I strongly believe you can have a great business, even do advertising, without selling out your customers/visitors.

And blaming the law because industry is using dark patterns to circumvent it seems odd to me.

Do I like these consent banners? Most of them not. Neither as consumer, nor as the one implementing them. But the hiddeous ones to me are a symptom of a rotten company not valuing their customers. Not a symptom of a bad law.

Cookies are only mentioned once in the GDPR, as an example in the preamble (paragraph 30). Article 4. defines personal data and identifiers without referencing specific technologies:

> (1) ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

haha this is pretty next-level - having to listen to audio-books to cope with the boredom of something you do by choice. Just get your CDL and do short routes locally if you actually enjoy this. Probably far-fetched, but this is beyond amusing.

Wonderful, thank you.

On the Ra thing, here is the thesis from the blog post:

> Ra is a specific kind of glitch in intuition, which can roughly be summarized as the drive to idealize vagueness and despise clarity.

Can you really tell me that this has no application to your real life and experiences?

If you truly feel it's irrelevant, spend two hours trying to figure out what exactly the CMF says and get back to me. Start here [1].

I actually read the chapter on grades 6-8 [2]. It engages in the classic Ra move of speaking out of both sides of the mouth: it criticizes early introduction of algebra content for being too challenging, causing students to fail, while claiming that its alternative proposal is actually more rigorous and challenging. Is it possible to make a curriculum more demanding while simultaneously reducing fail rates? Possibly, but it is not a claim we should accept lightly.

Why are men like this?
First to get this out of the way: I fully sympathize and hope some hn user with privileges at facebook can escalate this to the appropriate people to quickly get it resolved.
This isn’t the first post of this kind. What is new however is, that non-techies are signing up for hn accounts to get things resolved. I don’t blame CrzyLngPwd for advising her to post here, I probably would be giving the same advice if a relative was involved.
People working at FAANG‘s don’t log in to hn to fix their companies processes by performing ad-hoc tech support and they shouldn’t have to. We should all (whether FAANG or not) lobby management within our organizations to ensure that proper appeals processes are in place. It is in the interest of the employees as well as the company. Because while it was fine to have no appeals available when „The Internet“ was a fun hobby for a select few, it is decidedly not fine, when millions of livelihoods depend on the whims of automated appeals processes. You can bet your RSUs that governments will step-in sooner or later and institute tedious (and perhaps inappropriate) procedures set in (regulatory) stone, if the industry doesn’t manage to self regulate in an effective way. You don’t know when it’s coming, maybe the golf buddy of an influential Senator gets banned on Facebook without any recourse or the Wife of a Member of the European Parliament loses access to her Google Account and we might see this issue regulated out of existence. I‘d much rather the industry takes initiative now and solves this Problem on it‘s own. It costs some money but it’s not Rocket Science | Brain Surgery.
> Is there really a law that makes it illegal to display an antique phone
> that isn’t connected to a phone line?

No. However, there are laws that devices which purport to provide telephone service must be able to connect to emergency services.

> Is a box of old cell phones now to be considered a weapon of mass destruction?

No. There is no expectation that a device that is disconnected or inoperable will continue to function. That said, a _modified_ device that continues to function would likely still be considered under such laws.
Please explain, what about my building facade is so incredible private? Sensitive information is blurred anyways and google won’t publish anything that is private, they are just taking pictures of public spaces, which is totally legal.
You can be entirely competent for a role and do it successfully while still feeling like you're missing fundamental knowledge you won't ever need to accomplish your job but that it's commonly perceived as a requisite. That can generate anxiety as you believe someone will at some point discover what you perceive as ignorance.
> The process is only now starting to return to its roots.

I'd like to cynically say that the rhetoric and arguments have finally started to return to their roots within this particular administration, but there's no evidence of a process actually being carried to completion yet.
At conferences, people will say they liked and learned from talks that were complicated and largely incomprehensible, and that they found trivial and boring the talks that managed to explain the thing well enough that it was actually understood.

The carbon is imposing a cost, and an arbitrary and politically defined one at that.

This isn't really up for debate, since its the core idea of having such a licensing system in the first place.

You could argue that a system where carbon isnt allowed to be released into the commons at all is legitimate, you can even support a carbon licensing scheme like the one that exists.

What you can't argue is that those schemes do not impose costs, because that is plain and simply lying.

Personally i think the whole carbon credit system is inherently flawed and should be abolished. There is no difference between emissions, and any other externality going into the commons, and having its supply/demand determined by the state is like always a bad idea that enables more state interference in things that simply arent their business.

Pollution and similar externalities are a problem, but this is not the solution.

No thank you. Just give me even more reliable and even faster transmission. I don't really want machines to make best effort guesses what is happening at the other end of the communication pipeline, because the connection is now so bad compared to previous technologies that it has to.

The rest can be done by software / hardware on top of that, if one wishes so, I don't see why that has to be integrated into the communication pipeline itself.
Most garbage cans (at least those in dense areas) in my town of Calgary have a little shelf along the top that can hold cans/bottles. I can't see them being used for anything other than holding cans for collection. In Alberta, there is a deposit for all beverage containers (milk, juice, beer, wine, pop/cola etc) so there are a lot of people that collect for a living. Where I grew up (Ontario), there is only a deposit on beer and wine, not juice/milk/pop etc.
Code should be written to be understood without that context. If comments and documentation aren’t enough context for the code to be understood, it probably isn’t written very well.
The 954 most common named colors from xkcd survey
100%! This reminded me of a similar lesson beaten into us _repeatedly_ in college. I would study for a test and feel like everything was crystal clear. Then i walk into the exam and get absolutely destroyed by stuff i thought i understood.. over and over again. It was (unfortunately) a common experience.

Seeing the answers afterwards, they usually involved facts i knew applied in a way i could not. That experience convinced me that your internal assessment of how well you understand something can be wildly off without an objective yardstick. Like nothing teaches epistemic humility quite as forcefully as getting rekt in an exam.
You are worried about someone who physically has access to your phone and knows your passcode tracking you? That is not the problem being discussed here.
That isn’t correct. The car is titled to you, the bank is added as a lien holder in a separate part of the title. Happy to show proof if desired.

Last weekend I tried to get my first website online and even if lots of information is out there, I was still surprised about the lack of intuition regarding the products.

The learning curve is still steep and I'm not sure of the end product will come close to what I have in mind (informational knowledge base).

All I want is a simple website, that runs on multiple devices without being convoluted by plug-ins.
The green can be very helpful during video productions where screen replacement is needed in post production. Though, it’d be even more helpful to not only be green, but to have tracking markers as well.
Not at all, it is saying that if the only things this service is providing is a human doing SA (since they dont have any deep-knowledge of the codebase), then you could just use an SA.

Code review in the real world misses the Halting problem, the only way you can really see it is if you know the codebase well enough to SEE it, and any 3rd party that is given a pull request to complete in a timely manner will not have time to fully learn your code base or even the modules you are submitting.
‘The Matrix’ Inspired a New Generation of Hackers
Ask HN: Which tech stack is the most fun?
After unintentionally ending up on several React Native projects, I hunger for the days when I used to enjoy coding. The developer experience of React Native is tedious, frustrating, and unrewarding. But as I ponder a job change, I wonder: What is better in this day and age?

I remember when Ruby on Rails hit it big, one of its mantras was that it made coding fun. As Rails has waned in popularity, has any other tech stack taken that crown?

What do you all think?

EDIT: Obviously this is highly subjective so if you can provide your motivations for why you feel how you do, that would help us all. Thanks!

Well, sure. You don’t research what you don’t want to know, let alone have a public debate about. Better to just make loud blanket statements, and when challenged to just make them louder.

I mean, just enter 'crypto' in your search engine of choice, and check the cryptocurrency/cryptography ratio in the results.

This ratio closely resembles what I hear about whenever I hear the term, and I actually have a cryptography function in my company's product. For regular people the ratio will be even more extreme.
Is there still a way to search within search results?

Too often the ranking wisdom puts tons of "wrong" results on top, and requires result paging ad-infinitum. Some engines even flag such paging as bot behavior....
Nice. As if impostor syndrome is not enough, now also getting labeled as a bot!
It looks like the general premise of this article's 6G is "semantic" technologies where the transmitter knows things like the fact that it's transmitting video, and can do smart things (prioritize, infer missing portions, and the like).

Problem 1: So much for the OSI model. You're putting application-level knowledge in the link layer. Ugh. Not that it's entirely unprecedented, but there are reasons the layers are separated: heterogenous apps need to work together on heterogenous hardware stacks that have radically different lifecycles. The coordination problem of just rolling out IPv6 has been hard enough, and is simple by comparison.

Problem 2: I don't actually want the transmitter to know much about what it's transmitting. I want encryption. This doesn't kill the deal, but it does make it a lot harder, and it means you definitely 100% need explicit protocol-level support for all of the semantics (and can't just throw deep packet inspection at the problem to solve any of it).
Well, of course it'd say that. Is anyone really surprised they protect the supply chain of their main product?

His logic would apply to tests of all sorts. As long as the dev says the feature is done, that’s the end. And he’s wrong. As teams (or companies, or whatever unit) we get to decide our definition of “Done”. I suggest that definition include appropriate testing. And appropriate code review, which serves two purposes… catching defects and knowledge sharing.

I'm currently the only developer in my startup and I crave for high quality feedback, so this service sounds like it's a gift sent from heaven – especially for the $699 price tag per month. I guess they probably make a mixed calculation: take a small company with 10 devs. Two of them are part-time, on any given week one of them is on holidays/sick leave, one is very junior and doesn't contribute much yet, another one is more concerned with project management than with writing code and one has in fact transitioned into management but remains on the dev team because it's part of their identity to still "get their hands dirty" (even though they don't have the time to produce much code) – so you might end up with sth like 4-7x more code than I write, but 10x the payments. My productivity is not above average, but I have very little overhead besides coding.
Unfortunately, I cannot find any information about a minimum team size for the PRO plan. I think I'll give them a try.
Thank you for sharing your project. I recently took the analog phone down from my grandmother's house, and I've been asking people to send me their voicemails from her over the years for a similar purpose.

She recently suffered a stroke that's left her confused and unable to engage, and the abruptness of what was a much slower transition into dementia has been upsetting to the family. I'm hoping being able to pick up her receiver, dial her number, and listen to one of the many loving messages she's left us throughout the years will help. She's also deaf now, otherwise it would have been designed like yours.

Eventually I'll deploy it as a PBX so others can call in, but I haven't had much time to test.

I'm just explaining to you how it plays out when a business is deciding whether or not to use TS at all. Mistakes and errors are checked for by linters and unit tests automatically in the background so that's not a benefit anyone cares about. The liability of having to find coders that want to work on your TS project decreases potential candidates and makes hiring more difficult. Large organizations can deal with it cause when you have 500 engineers on staff you can find 50 that will use TS for you. For smaller orgs it's a pain.
Disclaimer, I'm the CTO @ PullRequest.

One thing to note about our service is that we are not trying to replace your code review process if it is already working well and we strongly agree that knowledge transfer is a very important part of code review. ( We actually have code review metrics as well that help encourage and reward your internal code review process. )
However what we do believe and see on a daily basis is degree that we help supplement the process and help catch many issues as well as inject a unique perspective. Our reviewers are all highly qualified, many are maintainers of popular open source projects or work at top tech companies. Our reviewers also gain context over time similar to a new senior engineer on your team. Reviewers also can share notes with each other to build up a corpus of information for your project over time.

> So we have disconnected the liabilities of ownership from the advantages of ownership. In the past, this type of disconnect has led to companies exploiting it for profit.

You are 100% right, but that is the circumstance with loans to purchase cars independent of whether the car is autonomous. Banks do make a ton of money on the interest from car loans and they are, indeed, not liable for service or maintenance of the vehicle.

When repossession occurs, the person in possession of the car is not the owner anymore. That's why the repo man is allowed, legally, to take the car. They are transporting it to the rightful owner's place of choice.
Brains that allow for 3D vision do trigonometry to a very high precision. With respective image matching too. Sadly that does not let you master math tests about the topic or lets you develop an efficient algorithm for stereoscopic view.

For a while there was a discussion about how evolution couldn't have constructed something sophisticated like an eye itself. Today we know the steps from a light sensitive spot to an eye, so I would assume this to be a similar case.
If the link layer knows that the encrypted bits are actually transporting video, then an attacker might have an easier time decrypting the traffic.

The UK has some tricky loan contract law which allows a lender to do this, unless the purchaser challenges it in court it using a very specific procedure - which of course most of the population doesn't know about.

Many people are surprised by this. They assume repossession means the loan is paid off - until they discover they've lost their car and are still on the hook for more or less the current market value.
Shockingly unexpected, LOL.
