> In Sweden's blinkered, self glorifying version, Sweden really were neutral (in the intuitive, common sense understanding of the term), when in reality they aided the nazis a lot

I think you're being unfairly downvoted here, because the essential context is the collective amnesia that's a crucial part of a Swede's cultural identity.

It's not in any way limited to just this one historical event, but spreads to all sorts of erasures, such as the very recent forced sterilization program and the strong belief in eugenics in the last century - which in itself was a close spiritual tie to the Nazis.

People here in Sweden are extremely selective in their memories - but I've found they can reach way back in the histories of other cultures whenever they want to find faults.
In some ways physical engineering is more forgiving. Consider the cost of a security breach. A bridge can be rebuilt, but data cannot be unpublished.
> the schema is acting as a basic version tag

Except that it's syntactically separate so no other version tag can masquerade as yours. PLs have namespaces as a separate syntactic construct as well, and for a good reason.

> Embedding the original document sounds useful, but namespaces still seem vastly overengineered for that case

Quite the opposite, it's the simplest option. Everything (original and interpreted data) is kept together, and because of NSs, there's no danger of misinterpreting the one for the other.

> Can you point me at a good implementation for Haskell or especially Scala?

Not using those.

> I think if we're accepting that the PL is the source of truth

XSD can be processed to automatically generate parsing and checking code for whatever other PL than the original one.
Devrel and evangelist is that a full time job or is it something a developer gets time off to do?

Japan doesnt have normalized relations with NK. You can't just take a boat there with bags full of yen.

I think what you've heard is probably a reflection of SOUTH Koreans who work in Japan, who are discriminated against by the Japanese, and as such work in places like pachinko parlors because bigotry keeps them out of more reputable and better paying jobs. They do ship money back to family in SK.

Northern Koreans are trapped by their regime and escapees are rare.

The bigotry towards South Koreans in Japan and how so many of them are forced to work in pachinko or other shady businesses is so common there's even a famous novel about it:

Only Chicago right now. We'd like to expand when the economics makes sense (there is a bit of a chicken/egg problem there where we definitely lose some potential sales by not providing the region folks want - but we need sufficient saturation to pay for the new deployment).

My advice if you want to use our service but in a region besides Chicago: use our service and email us the region you'd prefer. In the mean time, the extra 20ms round trip latency probably won't bother you and we'll let you know when we expand in the future (and your voice will help decide where!).

(It should go w/o saying reading this is a small spoiler and you should most definitely see this film first if you haven't. I happen to think the American remake is trash, but my dad loves both it and the original. In any case, it is among a small handful of films that I consider perfect.)
Maybe it's better if you grew up doing it. I grew up watching Chinese action films with subtitles, and it's pretty easy for me to watch the screen like normal and read the subtitles in my peripheral vision without looking directly at them at all.

I figure most people could probably do it with enough practice, though.

It's not just about having a gifted program. They could do a great job accommodating these kids without a formal program, just by assessing kids and providing appropriately challenging curriculum. They just choose not to. They don't want to assess kids because they don't want to know what their true reading/math levels actually are.

And the 'common wisdom' that was passed to me by many other parents and district leaders is that advanced kids should maybe go to private schools. This is not the sign of a district that embraces a student body that skews advanced.

Since I can remember email services across Microsoft, Yahoo and Google have been free. It is completely okay for us to expect that to continue as it has been around for so long. Now if you want perhaps more premium features, or access to the entire suite of product then yes it is expected you would need to pay.

Let's not act like providing users with free email hasn't been beneficial for these companies either.

Significant parts of the eastern interconnect successfully islanded the blackout areas during the cascade failure in 2003, while the blackout was huge the interconnect itself was still up and running for (geographically) most of it, so thousands of generators worth of power were available to feed in via dozens of major transmission paths to re-energize the faulted areas.

In a real "black start" none of that external capability and coordination exists. Imagine the entire US and Canada east of roughly Kansas being dark.

It is more like we provide you a network interface that, instead of being plugged into your modem for Comcast/AT&T/etc, it's plugged into a datacenter.

You get a public static IPv4/IPv6 connection with Reverse DNS - just located somewhere else.

Making your machine publicly routable is the primary use case (e.g., for email, web, whatever you want if you have trouble with NAT/CGNAT or simply don't want your home IP associated with the service), but it also encrypts your traffic between your PC and our datacenter such that your ISP can't snoop - which is not to say we're a good privacy solution - that is not what our product is designed to do.

Sorry, I have replied to the wrong person. The above comment should be under beaconstudios's comment.
As a programmer I think that this is awesome. But... I'm also thinking that we may be missing opportunities.

For example, I prefer to see subtitled movies in their original language (I'm a Spanish native speaker). But there are some dubs that are awesome, even better than the original: for example, Shrek. I'm concerned that eventually studios may just throw the script through Google translate and call it a day.
Don’t read it so literally. Lots of ways to interpret it. Cultural relativism, correlation vs causation, overconfidence, conclusions in isolation, etc. I think it drags in just a bit too long but it did make me chuckle.
Power to the OP, but does anyone else find this knowledge mapping exercise mildly depressing, especially as it pertains to notes about friendships? I can’t quite find the words to describe how I feel about it, but I don’t particularly like the idea of reducing all my thoughts and emotions into text and links between texts. Maybe forcing text makes me aware of details more consciously, but I feel like it might reduce the rawness of life, reducing the resolution to fit into text space. When in reality, maybe the raw emotions are more human? Again, not really sure how to describe my feelings here. Am I alone with this view?

Unless you're suggesting that the word "engineer" is entirely meaningless, this doesn't rebut the given objection to the proposed definition. If the word means anything at all, then the question has to be answered: Is the thing that it means that particular thing, or a different thing?
As I've gotten older I look back and wish I had any sort of mentor in my life for certain areas I struggled to learn in myself -- programming especially. I REALLY wanted to learn languages like C when I was a kid but it was just NOT happening. I was starting from nothing, borrowing library books I couldn't even remotely make sense of. I know for sure I could have learned, but it just wasn't going to happen by reading a textbook (especially when they all assumed I was running DOS, Windows or UNIX and I only had a Mac -- so the compiler disk they included was always completely useless to me). If I had a mentor in my life, even a junior/intermediate one, it would have been completely different. For this reason, I work especially hard to mentor people when I can, and open doors for them to show what's possible.
Same. I am now watching Stargate. My mom used to watch so I didn't because I didn't want to be like her (ahh, kids... :)

If you can look at the domain, isgoogleanalyticsillegal.com and tell it's marketing, then good for you. I don't think it's very obvious. Posting it as a "Show HN" with its own domain name is purposely deceptive. Most of the "Show HN" posts are from individuals posting their own small projects. Sometimes a company will post one, but at least they link to their own domain.

After you click to the article, again there's no indication until you scroll to the bottom (after you've already read or skimmed the site). This is deceitful. Furthermore, it doesn't really follow the spirit of ShowHN, which is supposed to link to a tool that people can try out.

You're right that marketing can be helpful, but introducing your company through a bait and switch is a major red flag. This post could've easily been presented honestly: "Show HN: Host your own analytics data to comply with GDPR - posthog.com" or something along those lines.

I assume companies that try stuff like this don't even realize the negative feelings such a campaign can engender. They probably see thousands of new visitors to their bogus site and call it a success, all the while not even seeing the thousands of people who saw this deceptive tactic for what it was and have now filed "PostHog" in their mental file cabinet of dishonest companies.
Working already.
I can imagine that would be true for kids just at the cutoff. They are either toward the bottom of an advanced school or at the very top of a typical school. There are tradeoffs involved.

I wonder if the same is true for kids who are well above the cutoff, for whom there is not the same tradeoff. For example, either the kid is at the top of an advanced school or the top of a typical school. I can't imagine that doesn't affect college admissions.

> I don't think anybody ever got ahold of passwords. KeePass OTOH was broken with KeeFarce and RATs are a lot more common than cloud service server breaches.

Can we actually know this? We only know about the breaches that we're told about, or that are found and disclosed by researchers. I'm not familiar with KeeFarce, but presumably attackers need local access, in which case you're boned anyway.

> ... many users, even on this site, aren't sophisticated enough to engage in the sort of cost/benefit analysis that we are, and b) to them, this conversation is unintentional FUD

So this is the part that I worry about. I think we're in a bit of an age of innocence with everything moving to the cloud, where everyone still believes that all of these services are going to be well meaning, competent, capable stewards for your bits. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I imagine in 10 or 20 years we're going to have a very different attitude about these things, sorta like people who were using xray machines to size shoes before they learned about the effects.

Once any info gets to the cloud, its out of your control forever, and its in a place where it can be attacked by the current ~8 billion people on the planet, and all the new people coming along after that. Its an impossible task to defend against that. Not to mention as someone like lastpass grows, what could be a juicier target than that? Why try to pwn individual services when you can just get all of the legit credentials at once from one place?

If the options are only use the same 6 character dictionary word for every account, or use a cloud subscription password manager, I'd probably recommend the latter. But for someone not tech savvy, I'd probably recommend a pen and paper with memorable (long) pass phrases before I'd recommend a cloud solution.

In the past I've recommended a local password manager with generated passwords on your one machine that you do anything sensitive with. Back it up on a thumb drive once in a while. For your most used accounts (e.g. email) that you really want to use on multiple devices, use long memorable pass phrases and just enter them in. Some people might think this is primitive, but its not that hard and it should be plenty safe for most people. Its just not as convenient.
I'd read a story with that premise. Reminds me of Eternal Sunshine.
It's a recurring theme, and IMO one of his strengths. Once the characters find out about the malleability and subjectivity of reality, or once they enter some drug trip, they are never again sure if they've properly returned.

"centring of the individual, whether human or non-human"

This recurs, repeatedly in the article. A bad thing happening to humans in poorer nations is recast as a necessary evil for the greater good of a wider, non-human world, which even if you accept it as an end goal is totally sidestepping the question of which specific humans will suffer.

They're not arguing that the things the critics bring up will not happen they just think it's ethically worth it if/when they do. They counter fears of genocide by saying there will be a bigger genocide of non-human animals and seem to openly admit that the poorer Humans need to suffer because it's politically impractical to get the rich to change their ways.
You probably live near one of the few containerized ports.

I used to live out in the middle of nowhere, but 300 feet from the BNSF transcontinental line. It was all boxcars, flatcars, bulk-goods hoppers, and tank cars.

Oh yeah, and the occasional finished airplane minus the wings.

Boxcars are still alive and well, anywhere other than near containerized ocean ports.

Regarding the warehouse, yes, trucking has taken over a massive amount of what used to be rail traffic. No doubt.

You make it sound like this is a bad thing?

Letting people use handles has been a thing since way before modern gamer and it is probably the only right way if you want interesting people to share stuff.

Some (most?) of the most civil places that exist on the internet - including HN - has pseudonymity.

I've often wondered how it is to deal with a mental problem that makes you perceive yourself one way (too fat) even though your conscious mind knows you're not that. Do you feel some kind of internal struggle when for example looking at your photos or in the mirror? It looks like you know the objective assessment (you're not only not too fat but even thinner than others) but somehow other part of your brain can't accept it. Do you experience this kind of struggle between conscious and unconscious thoughts? Do you feel the unconscious ones are winning or maybe switching off the conscious ones sometimes? Does conscious part win sometimes?

It's fine if you don't feel like elaborating. I am just very curious as I've read about anorexia and "you perceive your body as overweight even though you know it isn't" phenomena sounded like something I can relate to in a way although in way less serious areas (for example I know some social behavior are desirable and seen as friendly even though my mind tells me they aren't).
It looks look there is person and person-dress which looks identical to icons labeled male and female. This is even more in keeping with the naming scheme of other items like person-dolly etc etc etc.

Only someone that is carefully reading your code could possibly know the difference so this doesn't much impose upon you the developer nor the end user. You may opt to use the relevant graphics or your own as you please.

It is also somewhat a non sequitur to mention they have some legal attachment to Bentonville. A business which can hire and do business globally need not reflect local mores or attitudes because they aren't limited to the personal expressions that attracts local talent and business.
Really cutting edge information of the specialized or proprietary kind is pretty tricky. I find a lot of it through things like specialty conferences and YouTube interviews.

But for that you really have to know who the various luminaries of the relevant fields of interest are, and kind of track their world a bit. A lot of them don't post online much because for one, they have recognized that the platform we all have here in general is designed for grosso modo memetic "learning" which happens in a native self-reinforcing projection-style loop as opposed to more fluid, open learning and knowledge production by design.

So maybe what you'd be more likely to find that's useful and cutting edge here on the web, and in more readily consumable form, is more like public project updates and data.

For this I would offer GitHub, phys.org and your locale's weather service, e.g. weather.gov. You could probably lift the world with those sites if you can readily metabolize what they've got going on.
