GDPR applies to data in cloud too.
Bitcoin is a lousy currency but I'm glad it's valuable because it shows how much of a scam the fiat system is. It's ALL a scam. ALL OF IT. What part of 'ALL' don't you people understand?

When Bitcoin, a currency with a measly transaction throughput of 4 transactions per second max and which consumes more electricity than all of Argentina will be worth $1 billion per coin and every rich person around us will be a complete imbecile and every intelligent person will be broke, people will still not comprehend that the fiat system itself is the scam! Einstein was right, human stupidity is infinite.

Bitcoin has been growing from strength to strength for almost 15 years now and worth almost 2 trillion market cap... Even if you think it's a bubble, then what's to stop everything else from being a bubble too? Nothing, that's what, it is a BUBBLE it is ALL a bubble and nothing but a bubble and a scam.

Consider a system which can support a 2 trillion dollar scam for 15 years straight and ruin an entire generation of young people... What do you call such a system? That's not a sound system. How can you trust such system? What kind of gullible fool you have to be to trust such an obvious scam system?

It's like the system found all the most gullible people on the planet then bribed them to the eyeballs, gave them access to global media platforms, so now they run everything and can force their delusions on everyone else.

Did you people even hear about the recent USAID scandal or did it bounce right off your thick skulls? It's all a scam; whether you realize it or not; you're a scammer, your spouse is a scammer, your mum is a scammer, your dog is a scammer. We're all dealing in counterfeit money.

I've been saying this over and over again for like 10 years straight. Every year what I'm saying is increasingly obvious, but people still don't get it. People's skulls have been getting thicker faster than the information could penetrate it.
The same FBI that sent him anonymous letters, trying to encourage MLK to choose suicide?
I used to be close minded as well before actually studying Bitcoin.

There are plenty of bad actors in crypto but Bitcoin is at worst a very interesting experiment that can profoundly change the world for the better. Most is not all of the rest of crypto is basically hawk tuah coin with less obvious illegitimacy. In fact bitcoiners don't consider Bitcoin as "crypto"
The scenario where someone wants to drive by dump some code, then you reject it, then they offer to maintain it, kind of sucks. Ive had this happen in the past, at least in my experience you can't force someone to keep maintaining it. When they offer to maintain it, they look like such a great collaborator or team mate, you look like shit for saying no still. What happens is someone quits, gets reorged, your oncall and they aren't so your fixing and supporting it anyway. If they do stick around, now there is communication overhead from a part time maintainer

I get kernel development is a different environment then corporate programming. Im not 100% what the deal is with the Rust for Linux people. but in a vacuum, I am sympathetic to reasons like maintenance complexity for rejecting changes
Whoa! Small world. That was a fun story.
Or maybe the IMF doesn't want the money they "give" to El Salvador to be dissipated into a synthetic commodity masquerading as a deflationary currency.

I'm not going to defend the IMF here... they're sort of like sharks swimming in the national currency markets (look up "Our Brand is Crisis" and "Life and Debt" for more info, and then read Summers' "The Payment System" for the IMF's take on things.)

But... I think my point is... I don't think there's any more conspiracy going on here than normal IMF conspiracy. But the IMF is sort of open about it, so is it still a conspiracy? I don't think the IMF or WB care one whit about cryptocurrencies, they just don't even register.

EDIT: Oh, and "Confessions of an Economic Hit-Man" is also nice and conspiratorial. If half of the author's assertions are truthful, there's WAY more happening in Latin America vis a vis international banking cabals.
I live in the area designated for the ILC (International Linear Collider) in Japan, but there has been no progress at all. The stakeholders are desperately trying to promote its benefits, but there is absolutely no understanding among the general public. The Japanese government is also not supportive at all. The country simply isn’t in a financial position to cover the several hundred billion yen needed for construction, and with rapid aging and a declining birthrate, there’s no prospect of the fiscal situation improving. Unfortunately, whether a new experimental facility can be built is more of a political issue than a scientific one, and the outlook is bleak.

Simple and brief rules are more successful in practice than long and complicated rules.

I feel a briefer and more-to-the-point "When To Refactor" guide is to ask the following questions in the following order and only proceed when you can answer YES to every single question.

1. Do we have test coverage of the use-cases that are affected?

2. Are any non-trivial logic and business changes on the horizon for the code in question?

3. Has the code in question been undergoing multiple modifications in the last two/three/four weeks/months/years?

Honestly, if you answer NO to any of the questions above, you're in for a world of hurt and expense if you then proceed to refactor.

That last one might seem a bit of a reach, but the reality is that if there is some code in production that has been working unchanged for the last two years, you're wasting your time refactoring it.

More importantly, no changes over the last few years means that absolutely no one in the company has in-depth and current knowledge of how that code works, so a refactor is pointless because no one knows what the specific problems actually are.

What Xi/Musk need in these cases is loyalty, not critical thinking. Apparently they both know how to leverage the youth for it.
I fully support young folks being put in those high pressure situations. Lets them learn and showcase what young people can do.

I think there are huge benefits when you put together a team of people that usually don't have distractions like kids, intimate relationships, health problems etc that can hinder productivity.

Even more beneficial to a team when you combine the wisdom and experience of older folks with the passion and energy of the youth.

Depends on the particular instance. Better tools help in situations where the creature has not been seen at all in decades, as well as in situations like this where it's likely that environmental changes provided an incentive for a small number of otherwise non-extinct predators to follow their prey northward. This is a different degree of what's likely happening in central Canada, which is that elusive cougars have recently been trapped alive for the first time, appearing to occasionally migrate north from the U.S, and Grizzlies have been establishing populations near the subarctic.
>"Who controls Stripe if the Collison brothers perish in a car crash ? "
>Employees.

The controlling interest in a company is determined by shares owned. This reads like you're suggesting that the revenue from inheritance taxes should be given in the form of shares to the employees of whichever company the deceased had ownership of.
In the minds of people like Musk, people are less valuable than rows of data in a database.
It’s week 2. I think they will have time to go after those big orgs.

Agreed, this is definitely an odd and very unnecessary constraint on builds.
Anarchy tshirts might have been provocative or even showing some ideological fervor in the early 1970s. Maybe because it was a fashion that suited the economy and psyche of the time. However after all participants are now over fifty, with a different economy situation than the 1970s, global or ideological, what would you expect?

Proclaiming "I believe in anarchy" is childish cute nowadays not because of an evil capitalist plot, but because it is out-of-place retro to a different time. Also it was always childish, but back then it was segregated only inside a community of adolescence, so no one noticed
Whoever purchases the business at auction. Transition? Businesses already need to cope without a CEO for periods, such as injury. Might even go smoother if the executor gets to appoint an acting manager and is able to authorize the CFO to keep paying wages and bills.

Work all your life to give yourself and your kids excessive power over me? I didn't agree to that. Society gets to decide what the social contract is, and a lot of us are not happy that excessive wealth/power is able to be accumulated, negatively affecting our lives. Why are we forced to also accumulate unnecessary wealth in order to defend ourselves? Perhaps a better reward for success is leisure and stress free living and providing an opportunity for another to also succeed and flourish.

I turned off the flags on this one because there hadn't been a thread specifically about DOGE personnel and there is a clear intersection between the people in the article and the interests of HN. I mostly mean the type of people, not the specific individuals, but at least one of them (the Vesuvius prizewinner) did work which was the subject of major threads here.

I would rather the article had been more neutral and more informative, but beggars can't be choosers.

Btw, you do realize that not all politics is off topic on HN, yes? I'm pretty sure you must have seen some of my explanations about this over the years, but if not, please take a look at some of https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....

All of the following can be (indeed are) true at once: (1) most political stories are off topic here; (2) we don't want the frontpage to be dominated by politics; (3) some political stories are on topic; (4) significant and interesting things are going on right now, even though it's hard for most people to stay curious about them.

Have I clarified sufficiently?
A lot of those same people are going to questioning where the various government services they utilize have gone, or why they are no longer allowed to be in a union, or why do the worker protections they were accustomed to no longer exist, or why their drinking water isn't safe, or why there is a measles outbreak, or why can't I use the free tax filing system that my taxes paid for and saved them money, or why the amount of smog and noxious chemicals has increased exponentially, or, or, or, ...

Ignorance is bliss. Or at least it is until your child grows a third arm, and you spend an hour a day boiling your water for safety.
It won’t be.
Without knowing the exact situation, if you follow the guidelines in this article, this is a library bug (documentation or actual code).

Either the library should have enforced the invariant of the key existing (and returned an equivalent error, or handled it internally), or documented the preconditions at a higher level function that you could see.
Yes. Sadly, abusing the justice system to harshly punish your political opponents by forcing them to either accept trumped up charges or bankrupt them is something new here. The circus has been quite the spectacle.
That sounds equally wrong as "crypto is everything, blockchain is the solution" sentiment
This seems to speak more to the general incompetency of the IMF than to any anti-crypto conspiracy
> Deported using......jurisdiction?

No, just deported. When the Navy shoots at Somali pirates they don't worry about jurisdiction. The left has been at pains to point out that illegal entry is not a crime and border patrol is not law enforcement, but that cuts both ways.

> You think if they do some big crime the US is going to ignore it and do nothing but give a referral because oops no jurisdiction?

If they do a medium-sized crime the US ignores it and just deports them, that much happens all the time already, no-one wants more people in prison.

If they do a big enough crime then I'm sure the US would find some way to charge them, but that's no different from what they do for full-on foreigners who never come anywhere near the US. E.g. if they kill a US citizen on US soil then the US would claim jurisdiction on that basis, even if the perpetrator stayed on the other side of the border the whole time.
Would love to be a hero to my kids. But on-site is a non-starter.

The USD, being the world reserve currency and currency of trade, must operate at a deficit. It's only through a USD deficit that other countries can grow their reserves commensurately with economic growth, which is how the USD stays the reserve currency. The USD operates at a deficit because it's such a good currency.
> We are and have always been allowed to have whatever opinions we wanted on any of the regular platforms, so long as it doesn't affect the rights of others

If only it were that simple, because that's demonstrably not true. I'll give you a perfect example that was made clear by recent events.

Before last month, it was against Meta's rules to say that being LGBT was a mental illness. Similarly, you couldn't say people had a mental illness due to their religion.

But by this point I think it should be pretty clear that, in many respects, what we define as a "mental illness" is not some hard and fast rule, it's largely what we see as beyond the norm of socially acceptable boundaries at any given time.

I am gay. For someone else to have an opinion that being gay is a mental illness is a perfectly valid opinion, and it doesn't infringe on my rights (as long as they're not advocating for locking me up or whatever). I literally see no need to prohibit people from expressing the valid opinion that my being gay is a mental illness (I may think you're an asshole, but being a jerk certainly isn't banned on the Internet).

So when Meta announced their policy change to allow more "free speech", at first I was like "Ok, cool". I only became livid when I read the policy and saw that it's still against their rules to say people in "protected groups" have a mental illness except for a specific carve out for gay and trans people. F that. So I have to pretend all of the completely absurd religious nonsense about believing some sky fairy is out there and randomly does things like performing miracles (but for some reason never obvious enough to actually be miraculous) is not a sign of mental illness, but being gay is? Yeah, free speech my ass.

Point being, in your comment you have basically made an arbitrary division between what "whatever opinions" are valid, and what counts as e.g. racism, and pretend that it's a clear line.
Sounds like we need a scalpel, not napalm. For every silly/stupid regulation removed, there will be 100 important regulations as collateral. And then we'll see real collateral.
Over the years I’ve
spent a lot of time talking engineers and managers out of using serverless AWS options for various reasons. I’ve found that most non-infra focused engineers and managers see serverless marketed as “simpler” and “cheaper”.

It’s often the opposite, but most people don’t see that until after they’ve built their infrastructure around that, get locked in, and then start seeing the surprise bills, difficult to diagnose system failures, and hard-limitations start rolling in.

A bit of early skepticism, and alternative solutions with a long-term perspective in mind, often go a long way.
Many of these subcultures are almost fully compromised by commodification. There aren't serious Marxist or Libertarian movements in the U.S, despite there being a seemingly endless stream of loser influencers for these movements. The only exception might be fascism, but these movements have also been compromised by corporate interests. The reason is because people in these subcultures don't actually want or care for them, they're just in it for the entertainment. Political hobbyism. Their favorite pundit feeds them culture war slop and lazy analysis to keep the ad revenue flowing.

Per the article, this is just the first recorded observation as far North as Egypt in modern times.
You're not usually meant to use force to prevent trespass outside of some very narrow circumstances. And whether someone is trespassing or is somewhere they have every right to be is very often unclear.
And for some reason there are many commenters here defending it and dismissing the severity. Concerning.
Thanks for the link on 18F in the feds. Didn't realize how much they had put up on Github and other areas [1]. analytics.usa.gov [2] is also pretty cool. Apparently its Jekyll, Sass, React and d3 from their Github.

343,025 first time users in the last 30 minutes, with GSA Advantage, USPS Tracking Results, NIST, CEAC Visa Status Check, and Federal Student Aid being some of the biggest sources. Had no idea this was available.

I expect MRI to be a high capex investment but low cost to run it each time. Maybe someone more knowledgeable might step in.

Of course, to play devil's advocate, using an MRI because you have it might lead to acquiring more MRI machines because of the high usage of the existing ones, I guess.
Simple is in the eye of the beholder I guess, and the article writer had issues migrating, check notes, a Python app.

That said while cost limiting vps option like lightsail exists on aws, they are on the high end of cost. Sure you get a good chunk of cpu time compared to the 15$ a year vps from questionable providers, but it's hard to beat that on price, especially for single user experiments.

I wouldn't store sensitive or pii data there, but most web sites aren't a ecommerce or a social either. And while I'm a huge aws fan, my minecraft and factorio servers and openwebui deployment are on some such cheap host at a discount provider. And never went down once. Or they did but I wasn't looking, which is the same tbh for single user stuff.
Seriously this is the most BS flag I have ever gotten. I am ashamed of you hacker news points having people.

The IMF is the pinnacle of western imperialism.
I appreciate that you’re defending my right to voice my opinion.

That said, you’re contradicting yourself: am I saying my country’s system is impervious to abuse, or am I admitting that it is not?

My point is not that a central database of people makes identity theft a thing. My point is that by not having one (or any), you are making it a lot easier than it has to be.

In one country, this kind of abuse of identity happens all the time, and in others, it is exceedingly rare. Anyone should be able to draw their own conclusions from that.

I’m seeing a statistic online that says “33% of Americans Faced Some Form of Identity Theft at Some Point in Their Lives” — not sure if that’s accurate but it’s a scary number!
They burned the church and tried to break into the White House forcing an evacuation of the president! The 1/6 riot, by contrast, was by turns both violent and civil, but no one was armed and attempting "to overthrow the election results". In fact the Trump plan of continuous debate over the merits of the election was thwarted by the riot. It was diametrically opposed to his interests and ended up favoring the Democrats. Many questions still linger over the identities of major participants, including the "pipe bomber" and the "scaffold commander", whom the FBI unaccountably never identified. Note that the 1/6 participants were relentlessly tracked by the state for years by some 6000 FBI agents and tried in DC courts, unlike the 2020 rioters aiming to storm the White House.
