"Contrast that with San Diego or New York, where the environment is not actively trying to kill you during most of the year"

Las Vegas is inordinately hot only 3 months of the year. The rest of the time the weather is relatively mild. That's hardly "actively trying to kill you during most of the year". Many people who visit Las Vegas only do so during the summer, so it seems like it's hot most of the time to them, but this is a myth.

Having grown up in San Diego and currently living in Las Vegas, I'm not sure what special advantages you are implying it has that would enable it to be "advantageous to ordinary economic conduct" vs Las Vegas. It's next to an ocean full of water that you cannot drink (without expensive water treatment). Produce is grown in California (with water that it deprives Las Vegas of), but mostly not near San Diego, so it has to be transported in to support its massive population, just like it has to be to Las Vegas. In fact, the agricultural centers of California are approximately equidistant to both San Diego and Las Vegas, perhaps +/- 100 miles.

Even putting aside the other issues with California - overpopulation, insane politics, high crime rates, absurdly high state income tax, high cost of living, etc. - I don't see any serious advantage that Southern California in general has over Las Vegas, unless you just like the beach (and even then...it's a 3.5 hour drive or 30 minute flight to Southern California). In fact, many Californians are starting to realize this, and are invading us.
The "downstream projects just don't update" option is one I'd consider completely unacceptable. What if the update is a security patch? What happens when they inevitably do want a new feature, and have to fast-forward through months or years of interface updates all at once? What happens when a developer wants to work on a feature that cuts across systems, and now has to re-learn the "old" way of doing things?

Idle CPUs use much less power, so no its not wasted in that sense.
Inner classes are pretty useful.

This library contains a huge number of Iterables, each of which has at least one Iterator implementation.

https://github.com/paulhoule/pidove

It is convenient to let the Iterator be immutable and the Iterator be an inner class that gets its configuration information out of the Iterable.

(That said, if people really thought seriously about Iterator being a Supplier<Iterable> people might think more rationally about error handling. Also in a slightly parallel universe the Iterator would only have one method since remove() hardly ever gets used and having both hasNext() and next() methods is asking for bugs.)
This use of "a First Nation" is meant to refer to the group of people, not an individual. I believe it's equivalent to saying in the US "a Native American tribe".

EDIT: see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Nations_in_Canada

> Some indigenous peoples in Canada have also adopted the term First Nation to replace the word "band" in the formal name of their community.
Okay, so if you're in a country covered by GDPR, then any company (from wherever) has to give you control over the way that your data is used, within reasonable limits - there are exemptions for certain things, but probably not this.

Specifically, the AI model has both stored the personal data, and arguably "formed opinions" about it.

The first step would be to contact the people who own the model, and ask them under what terms they're storing the personal data. Do they have an exemption? The answer is probably no.

Then, you make a GDPR Erasure Request - delete my data. At that point, given that the company is based in the US with no European branch, then it largely becomes a matter of politics. If your local information regulator feels like it's worth pursuing, they'd contact the company and ask them to sort it out. At that point it's a matter of realpolitik - OpenAI (or whoever have this particular dataset - I'm not sure) probably don't want this to become a talking point - the process would probably result in them deciding to remove your PII from the training set.

There are bunch of other ways it could go of course - the local regulator may decide to sit on it, or the people in charge of the model might decide to ignore EU rules.

Life is too short. 40 years ahead seems like a very long time. Looking back at 40 years will be like the closing and opening of your eyes. Make the best of it before it's too late. Take smart chances now. But have a plan to execute. Don't do it blindly.

It's basically a "right to rewrite history", and I think we should strongly oppose such. History is immutable, it can only be appended to.

I'm not going to take this in a political direction, but make of that what you will.
> Now go somewhere without great internet connectivity and attempt to do work.

If you end up in a situation where you are suddenly without internet connectivity, the solution is simple: you stop working or you move somewhere that has internet connectivity. If you are knowingly going somewhere without internet and want to do work, you're obviously going to make arrangements to ensure that you can work. Maybe that means bringing a different device with you or maybe you find a workaround. For example, this youtuber/developer uses a raspberry pi connected directly to the iPad as a development server [1]. I think it's a tad silly, but it seems to work well for him to complete his work.

The whole "what if you don't have an internet connection?" argument just seems like needless FUD-spreading. I don't see it as a realistic problem for the vast majority of people the vast majority of the time.

Different take - it is pointless to think life as short or long. Life just is. You ARE in this moment of conscious time (to borrow Descartes).
Anything else is either memory (history) or future yet to be.

You, your 'self' are defined by your memory that is the consequences of the paths you took and not the ones you could have, and just like that your future will be the paths you take in this moment. Some try to make effort to be the best version of themselves, some try to live in this moment and many are in between. I do not think there's anything wrong with either extremes as long as you consciously and willingly do it, and sign up for the consequences.
But.. idk.. I find this 'life is long vs short' debate a bit besides the point. I mean we do everything to fit the curve of 100 years of life - first quarter: education, second quarter: career, start family etc.
May be its a perception thing - you're 40 and suddenly you realize you didn't become the astronaut you thought you'd be when you're grow up: how quickly life has passed by. To me personally, framing life as short vs long doesn't provide much solace in this situation but rather the one with culmination of past choices does.
It's not illegal if you're not in the US, which 95% of people aren't. And there's an exemption in the sanctions for family remittances, so it's not illegal then either.

That doesn't follow at all. How will there "always be suburbs" if they're not protected from wholesale buyout and replacement with high-density housing blocks by developers and corporations?

Your last statement doesn't make sense either. If you want to live in a single-family-zoned area... you want to live there. If you don't like it, don't live there. WTF is the confusion?

I've tried to watch the movie multiple times, always get bored in the beginning and abort early. Once tried to watching with a friend and we were both bored fairly quickly.

To be fair I don't watch movies / TV shows often because I have a low attention span for this stuff, but this is a movie I really wanted to like because I love the genre, but it's too slow paced for me. I do know that pacing was generally slower in older movies (eg. I recently watched "Roman Holiday" because so many older people love that one, and found it incredibly slow).
If they do, then they will have to find people who embrace Christian spiritualism. That's going to be a lot easier than finding Lisp devs. Similarly, Christian institutions seek Christian employees and they fire those who cannot abide.

Can't a software project be like a Christian church?
I'd be uncomfortable emphatically staking a position on the whether a global government would go bad. There are many factors aside from ideology that determine if a government functions well; if someone tells me "I'm forming a new liberal democracy" it is too little information to predict if it will be a good one, or a bad one.

People do overestimate the risk that a nuclear war would lead to human extinction. Unfortunately, people also overestimate, gravely, the capacity of humanity to refrain from nuclear war. It has been less than a century since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we've come close to a nuclear conflict on several occasions.

As is always the answer in these sort of discussions, "somewhere else" or "not in my backyard"
There is no best without a defined context, and even then probably no singular best. A good book that goes into this topic and othres is The Psychology of Computer Programming by Weinberg. The "best" is impossible to provide you.

Should you have 1 person in each major role? Shared responsibilities? Should people "own" some modules or should it be community/team owned? Who knows, ask yourself and your people. Be deliberate in your setup, and reconsider it as time goes on. Always remain flexible, setting a team structure in stone and never budging even when it doesn't work is a great example of insanity (to be kind) or stupidity (to be unkind) in action.

I'm asking out of pure curiosity as I'm not native English speaker.

Chess leading to madness - I think I get the joke here, and well, who knows, some grand masters have gone mad (although I'd guess some will dispute if there is clear link between madness and chess).. but delinquency? I'm not native English speaker so maybe I'm missing the full meaning of this word but translator tells me this word is clever way of saying 'crime', how on earth would chess lead to crime :) (other than, if played on paid time it is, well, crime of a sort, but same as browsing through social media).

> a committee of people with financial stake in the matter make an arbitrary decision that incidentally benefits the companies they represent and screws the clients of brokers and thats transparent

Rules were automatically applied. Rules someone with two years in operations should be able to model.

The committee met to give Robinhood a bailout. By the rule book, the DTCC had the right to liquidate their collateral. The committee instead chose to take that counterparty risk on themselves, the risk that if Robinhood couldn’t raise emergency capital they’d have to pony up some of their own.

And that committee meeting’s minutes are filed with regulators and actions publicly announced, so even there, tons of transparency.

I focus on getting better at learning. That’s how I have survived the last 15 years in the software industry. Luckily enough, I like learning… but I do choose what to learn. For instance, I have been learning Ansible recently (for side projects) just for fun and because I like its core (agentless way of performing chores on multiple machines). I haven’t yet learn k8s (because I dislike the idea of it).

At a certain point operations becomes development and vice versa.

When you really need to be good at managing computers and servers, you have to understand how those things work. At a certain point you're literally writing shell or even Python scripts.

When you need to be really good at programming computers and servers, you need to understand the underlying OS and hardware, for maximum performance and to solve particularly-annoying bugs. At a certain point in optimizing your development and configuring your code package / repository / etc. you're basically doing ops stuff.

Of course there are people who focus on developing and not really managing their systems, and people who go deep into managing the systems and not really learning to code. But I would imagine any half-decent ops person has at least basic knowledge in software development. And while there are people who can truly be both full-time developers and full-time operations, they probably don't do both in their job.
That is a very naive point of view.

Its not standing by a decision, its the unknown risk of an adversary using information you thought private against you. Whether its abortion clinics, or prospective employers vetting your background. You won't know which opportunities were missed as a result of something in your record that may have happened 20 years ago. You'll probably think it isn't happening, until it impacts you personally, and then its too late. That's exactly how it happened in East Germany with the wall.

> Er, did you read the news between like 2005 and 2015? Opposition to gay marriage was fairly prominent.

I didn’t dispute that. I said specifically that it’s easier to work against something that is currently not legal becoming legal.

> It certainly seems to have died down since then

Because…it’s now legal.

> is giving young people easy access to contraception, and AFAICT very few pro-lifers are in favor of that

They may not be in favor of it, but it’s legal for young people to use contraceptives, and has been for a long time and there is no where near the passion against it as there was for abortion. However, when you say “easy access” do you mean “free and government supplied”? That is wholly a different argument that has a more “taxpayer support of discretionary human behavior” driver against it.
A colleague who sends money to his family in a third world country with unstable currency explained to me why he uses crypto to do so. Even if he uses dollars to initiate the transfer here in the US, his family is going to receive it in the local currency. But that would incur losses as the official exchange rate is held artificially low. Also that currency is losing value very fast due to high inflation (much higher than the US in fact). So it is much better for his family to have their savings in Bitcoin. If there was a way to transmit gold easily avoiding government rules, he could have done that too but sending gold to his country is impossible.

This gets to the heart of another common refrain on HN that Bitcoin is great to facilitate illegal transactions. Well guess what, if a shitty government in some corner of the world is going to make it difficult for its citizens to live a normal peaceful life by devaluing currency and imposing artificial barriers to save meaningfully, then I am rooting for Bitcoin to help people evade that tyranny.
If you postulate modifying the current system, of course you can postulate modifying it to be better than Bitcoin. But Bitcoin isn't hypothetical.

We know he's a replicant, but I don't think he knows with any confidence: all he knows is that Gaff has an uncanny degree of insight, and that a definite replicant thought he was a man and spared his life to share the end of his own life with him. So he faces even more puzzles than them: if he isn't human then he had less free will than the other replicants since then he was created to unquestioningly retire them. Is he now going to enjoy that freedom and flee with Rachel, since he "owes her one", does he even know what his plan is as the lift doors shut?
How is this a counterpoint?
Of course, he isn't. Later attempts to shoehorn him into being one in subsequent editions cheapen Batty's act of forgiving him. Thus, it is wrong.
Then I will argue that it doesn’t constitute a prototype, and it remains very unclear what criteria to apply for the day.
I'm still catching up on a few decades of various technologies and concepts so I don't have a great answer, and I see everyone else has already given the obvious answer of "adapt" so here's my take as someone who didn't: don't be afraid of jumping head first into the absolutely brand new and unproven; even better if you can create it and/or harden it.
2049 did so many things well (great visuals, great acting, waaaay better love story, better detecting!), but the main story sucked so much. The messianic human/replicant hybrid and the foreshadowed uprising seemed so cheap. The original asked hard questions that's why it's still talked about, the sequel took it away and answered it itself and quite poorly IMO.
That's right. You're not ENTITLED to beachfront property or a penthouse in Manhattan.

Ruining neighborhoods for developers' profits isn't going to change that. The "abolish zoning" fraud WORSENS the economic divide by turning the entire country into renters.

Think it through.
> One could argue that there is some kind of consent if the data is publicly available

I’m not arguing that all publicly available information implies consent (it does not), I’m simply repeating what @BoppreH already said : that he gave the consent in this case. The reason we need GDPR and other privacy laws is primarily for cases when someone else decides to publish your PII. This is different, this is a case of the user publishing their own PII and allowing it to be public for a long time.

> How? 10 years ago one could not expect that all of the internet is used as training data for an AI model.

Hehe, are you joking? You must be young because people have been expecting this information explosion and archival for a hundred years and more, and people were talking about using the whole internet for AI training ever since the internet and neural networks were invented, complaining that we didn’t have the computational power yet, more than 50 years ago. Archive.org (saving the entire internet) and Google (indexing the entire internet) both launched almost thirty years ago. Ten years ago there were already debates that could stand in for this very thread.

The AI model is completely irrelevant here, and it has been from the very first comment. AI isn’t @BoppreH’s problem, his problem is that he willingly published his name on the internet and now doesn’t want people to know it, via Google or any search index. The AI did not glean any PII about him that Google and Bing and multiple other sites hadn’t already indexed.

As to how … Well, there are sayings out there older than dirt that clearly discuss how to keep your things private. The so-called “New York Times” rule is pretty well known, but is just one example in a class of such general advice that is probably as old as the printing press, and comes in many variations. Don’t do or write down anything you wouldn’t want printed on the front page of the New York Times. If it’s private, keep it private.

* BTW I’m sure you saw that above the WP sentence you quoted, there was a lot of text that broadly if indirectly supports what I’m trying to say. The right to be forgotten isn’t the right to be forgotten from all online existence, it’s not something you can use to force all published information about you for all time to disappear at everyone else’s expense, it’s a right that people can sometimes exercise to fix specific mistakes, and it gives specific examples such as revenge porn. And again, most of the examples involve someone else publishing your info without consent. Wishing the right to be forgotten gave us editorial power over history is extremely problematic, as was stated right on that Wikipedia page.
