When looking to solve a problem you find ways to solve it as good as possible with the minimum effort.

The problem is 93689 German shops violating the law. Laws are written to accomplish goals. Execution is sometimes hard/impossible. You have to find ways that work, keep the eyes on the goal.

We have big institutions like government and shopify that should abstract their smaller components. These are not always constructive abstractions but they usually work just fine.

Apparently here a customer filled a complaint about 1 shop with the government. Government should to the best of its ability detect those issues before such complaint comes in. Given how big shopify is in Germany that becomes remarkably easy!

Are they seriously going to wait for a customer for each of the 93689 shops to bother to fill a complaint and then take up the issue with each of those 93689 shop owners?

The tax money would be better spend by giving it to shopify to fix the issue. That might not be legal but it would sure be cheap! They could also communicate to the list of shop owners that they are to stop using the platform. That would be more work but quite doable.

Could send the draft to shopify first and give them some time to resolve the issue if they desire it. Surely losing 93689 clients at once is worth some internal dialog.

He is suppose to be busy selling coffee so that he can bring in more tax revenue.

The idea was to keep the personal data in the EU. To what extend does all the current expensive busy work accomplish that? Not at all?

Exchange is pretty simple business. Customers deposit coins and fiat, trade between them and pay you commissions. If you don't send any of those coins out, there is no risk, no liquidity crunches, no liabilities whatsoever. This guy took customer coins to gamble, and lost. Story as old as Romeo and Julia.

You basically found the one publication saying "Vaccines cause autism" while 1,000,000 different independent ones say "No they don't".

This is just willful ignorance. We're having "Once-in-a-hundred-year" floods, fires, droughts and hurricanes every few years now. The Mississippi is at historic lows. Temperatures everywhere are at historic highs. Basically every measure of temperature, weather and rainfall everywhere is something like "7 of the top 10 extremes in recorded history have been in the last decade".

> No wonder our feet have so many problems: they were once hands

Isn't this backwards? Or am I mistaken about human evolution? My understand was that our ancestors were not arboreal and walked on all fours then we adapted to walking upright. Therefore, feet became hands.
How often do people with power make decisions for the greater good?

Maybe I'm cynical, but the observer who said that the problem with political power is that the worst people will do anything they can to take it (as a result, good people won't have it)
It depends on exactly what features you class in the safety umbrella. Both languages protect against classic C mistakes but Rust has a far more advanced type system and better safety culture. For example, Java has had issues with data races which would have been caught by Rust and things like null safety have historically been an issue.

Both are better than C but I’d expect a good programmer to be more productive in Rust and to avoid more logic errors (which may or may not be security issues), not to mention the many problems caused by widely used open-source libraries written during the bad old days which have extensive dependencies and often enable risky behaviors by default. Culture isn’t a core language feature but it matters.

> I believe this sort of news appears in the context of it being commonly argued that in a "British style constitutional monarchy" the monarch holds no real power, and people who suggest otherwise are often dismissed as lunatics.

Almost every Brit I’ve ever spoken to about this will fastidiously argue that the Queen or King in power holds no real power. I simply don’t believe them. Given a constitutional crisis large enough for the House of Commons to want to strip the Royal family of its power and privileges, I wasn’t convinced they would be the guaranteed victors of that conflict with Queen Elizabeth II. King Charles hasn’t been King for very long, so a conflict with the Commons probably would favor the Commons at this point in time, but I’m not convinced the King could easily be run over either.

The reason this remained hypothetical under the Queen and will probably remain so under the King is they know how to effectively wield power without attracting spotlights and given a choice want the spotlights pointed in a different direction than at them. Compare and contrast with the President of the United States where every possible move he could make is scrutinized and gamed out within an inch of its life before he can make it, and when the Executive team leading the country does something, the President wants his credit so he can leverage that in forthcoming elections both for his own re-election and to bolster the campaigns of members of his party; but taking credit—even opportunistically—also means you suffer the blame as well.

Australia has good reasons to want to take a different approach though, and well, the King of Australia does live on the opposite end of the world, so picking up the Republican ball will probably be more straightforward for them should they choose to go down that route.

That is basically the same as the proposed skipping of B in navigation. It does however require the ability to put "make document look like X" (where X is the old state) as a single undo stack entry. If your app design allows that, great, squashing all of B into a single entry would work fine.

Such an implementation would be: if you go back and try to make a change, it moves everything from the redo stack to the undo stack (to return the the "present"), adds one entry in that represents atomically changing the document to match the old state you were looking at, and then finally adds the change you attempted to make as a new entry in the undo stack.
I first heard about it in an economics podcast about food deserts so I figure it came from that realm.

The entire planet is 3 missed meals away from total anarchy. The reason it is prominent (IMO) is that any politician who fails to deliver on food may as well dumpster the rest of their platform. Ensuring the acquisition and availability of food is every country's #1 priority, and "food security" covers all of the political and logistical and agricultural activities that need to happen for that priority to be delivered.
Good read, thanks.

The trouble with Japanese in particular, but ideograph languages generally, is that the lack of explicit spaces makes tokenization nontrivial (you essentially need to parse words out using a model built on a dictionary) — and English-language websites don’t even bother to think about doing this when trying to build their search engines; they just throw things into Lucene or Postgres tsvector and think the problem solved. This results in indexing document titles in these languages as if they were bags of individual characters (i.e. splitting on every character.)

Other ideograph languages (e.g. Chinese) aren’t so bad when you do this, because enough information is captured per ideograph that losing ordering doesn’t actually change meaning that much. But Japanese is especially bad, because it often “reverts” to the hiragana or katakana alphabets for long strings of words, while still not putting any explicit word-break markers between saidwords. So you end up indexing a “bag of letters.” You can imagine the uselessness of such results.

Or, to put that another way: Japanese-language search “works” on English-language sites when you’re searching a term expressed in kanji. But when the term you want turns out to only have a katakana representation, it’s mostly not going to work.

And yes, Google themselves know all this and have solved all these problems for Google Search long ago. Apparently, the relevant tech never made it into YouTube.

Elon isn't red or blue. He has leaned to voting dem in the past and now leans to voting gop for various reasons. It could change tomorrow. In the end, he thinks what he thinks and doesn't care how it aligns to a "party".

When I was at Yahoo, I remember someone famous (either Jeremy Zawodny or Rasmus) running a query and discovering that there was something ridiculous like 20 employees for every VP.

I currently write a SaaS website in Go after doing quite some Rust. I do prefer Rust as a language - it's more expresive and I greatly prefer Result<> over error, but it has two major downsides for me compared to Go. First compilation is much slower and Go feels like a non-compiled language because of the compilation speed (my last startup I've used Scala with horrendous compilation speeds, the main reason not to use it) The second is the borrow checker. It's excellent mostly (love explicit mut) but fails for me for structs with sub-structs coming from different owners. Very fast you have Arc<> noise everywhere. The Go GC just works. A simple GC as a -gc=on with auto-arc for variables without lifetime annotations for people that don't need Rust for embedded applications would be a dream come true.

I do love 'import "embed"' in Go to embed web files (templates) inside a binary and then deploy/manage that one binary with systemd with zero downtime updates with systemd port activation. Slick.

> Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

I wonder what bit of 60s counterculture that attitude was directly lifted from.

While the people that came before weren't any smarter than you; it's important to remember that they had, collectively, more experience in more areas than you could ever dream of having. That doesn't mean they got everything right, but it does mean if you just take the quote to heart you'll probably end up more like a bull in a China shop than some sage-like innovator.

But it is nice idea to remember, so you can mentally knock down people like Jobs, who want to portray themselves as sage-like innovators, a peg.

Also, can you imagine the positive impact on health and well-being?

Also, my impression is that at least in the U.S. there isn't a shortage of farmable land. It's just that most of it is used to grow corn and soybeans, and most of the corn is being used to feed cattle and make ethanol.

I think a lot more work needs to be done to show how tasty plant-based foods can be. Anecdote: growing up, I hated brussel sprouts b/c we ate them boiled; now I love them oven-roasted. Salads can be amazing if a bit of effort is put into them (more than just iceberg lettuce and dressing).

One more thing I would like to add: I generally think that some form of regulation limiting the abuse of personal data was long overdue and I must respect your zeal and vigor. I simply note the cost as I think it is important that we realize that this law (nor any law) is not without undesirable side-effect that should still be considered.
There's only one realistic solution and that's not to care. Focus on being good to your customers and ignore the geopolitics. Nobody's going to extradite you for running a normal run-of-the-mill web business in the US.
The reason I don't like "10x engineer" as a term is that it's often presented as an attribute of the person, but I think it's really often an attribute of the situation.

People obviously differ in abilities, but those differences are massively exaggerated by the environment. The best engineer at Twitter probably isn't getting much done this month. Conversely, a few people who were solidly average at their last job are probably rocking it because they've landed in a place where the work is a good match for their skills, the path forward is obvious and feels secure, and they're getting the needed support from their colleagues.
Are you speaking for Elon? He's made it pretty clear what his intentions are for Twitter, which is much closer to free speech absolutism than "being reasonable", which is what Twitter was before he bought it. If anything you should be asking Elon to "be better".
Fair enough. I think Rust is the only language on that list which solves the "billion dollar mistake" (null pointers).
Data and Reality (1978)
Based on his comments about Ukraine?

Because the reality is that he helped basically destroy the Russian space industry and 100s of millions that would have gone to Russia is now going to SpaceX. Not to mention that making human flights possible allowed the US to remove a major political problem of being depended on the Russians to operate ISS.

Calling them 'buddy buddy' because he doesn't believe the maximalist Ukraine position is the right one is a bit ridiculous?

And what are you referring to with the Saudis? The Saudis are the main funders behind Lucid, a car company that is basically directly targeting and attempting to challenging Tesla.
You get that this is exactly the scenario I just described, right?
Apple Maps took 10 years before it was usable and dare I say, it's actually better in many respects that Google Maps or Waze. The only reason why I use Waze is because I trust that they have better traffic and police updates. But Apple Maps navigation is much, much better with their "At the next stop sign, turn right", or "Make a u-turn at the next traffic lights." That's a really great way to navigate.
How is GDPR ugly? It's easy to build websites, even interactive ones, that comply.

If you build a mobile app, you are also supposed to only ask for permissions once you actually need them.

Replace interactive embeds with a dumb replacement of the actual content and e.g., "we want to show you an embedded tweet here, [allow once] [allow always]".

Don't use CDNs for delivering assets, they've long stopped being useful anyway.

Don't use Google Analytics.

In general, build websites like we used to in the early 2000s.

And yes, you can even do cloud-y stuff like that. You can run k8s on your hetzner dedicated servers, you can run MinIO as your s3 store, none of that is stopped at all by these rules.

You can even run an interactive website like HN without any GDPR violation or cookie prompts at all.
I think the main difference is there's just an order of magnitude more awful Java devs than Go developers due to Java being the most popular backend language for N years.

If the timeline was flipped and Java was the new language on the block while Go had been around for 25 years, I bet you'd see the quality of Java code was vastly superior simply due to Java attracting passionate developers interested in learning new technology.

I still see Java devs with 15-20 years "experience" coding like 1st year CS students. It really wouldn't matter what language they were coding in.
TikTok scolded staff for slumping sales
Haseeb Qureshi said recently on his Chopping Block podcast that it was a not-so-secret secret that FTX was the least profitable exchange of any of the major exchanges, so even if they were generating a lot of revenue they weren't making much profit on it.
Currently:

>There are currently 1200 people in front of you. Please keep this tab open!

>Estimated wait time: 16 hours, 40 minutes
>Coming from a lay person I'd imagine it would remain with that name until the contract is up for renewal.

As a lawyer, not a transactional lawyer so this is pretty far outside my expertise, I'd imagine they'd include some provisions for this type of scenario in the agreement. Even if it didn't, the stadiums owners would probably offer FTX some sort of partial refund to give up the naming rights, which they would have to to pay back their creditors. They could even just breach the agreement and offer a settlement.

Eron field got renamed pretty fast. So will this stadium.
