Britain has similar laws, of a similar age. We don't have a word for it, but I think there's an attitude that companies shouldn't be given more data than needed, and a suspicion when they ask.

"Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they are processed." [2]

Which the guidance[1] explains as "So you should identify the minimum amount of personal data you need to properly fulfil your purpose. You should hold that much information, but no more. This is part of the practice known as “data minimisation”."

The worry is that you'll go to sleep one night and in the morning you'll find that the government has ordered the banks to convert your Euros into Drachmas at a 1:1 ratio. And if that should happen it'll be easier to exchange Bitcoin for Euros than what's in your bank.

There's no reason to use Bitcoin for any legal good if you're in a normal country. It's when you've got the sort of situation they've got in Greece or you're in China and want to invest your money in overseas or you're in Argentina and worried that the government might seize your bank account that makes Bitcoin look interesting.

As a resident of the US who doesn't use drugs I don't have any reason to touch Bitcoin. But other people are in different situations. I do think that people's hopes of a dramatic rise in the price of Bitcoins are drastically overstated, though.
This is the worst part about your contact details, just think about the number of times you get those spam emails when one of their accounts gets hacked, not to mention address books mobile APIs.

I'm a little surprised that there weren't permanent ladders, or at least the gear to attach ladders, as a feature of the chimney. The cost of a dozen ladders and some bolts would be a few hundred pounds (in modern terms) compared to the thousands you'd pay a person to 'ladder up' a chimney before it could be worked on.
Expedia is one of the few sites I know that accepts BTC, but I don't think it's very popular in Europe. I'll have to give it a go, though, thanks.
Considering we went through the biggest crash since the 1920s, which was triggered overseas, yes, we did quite well out of it. In fact, without his choice of semi-nationalising some of the biggest banks in the land (and in the world), today we'd probably be begging for a bowl of porridge. Most people outside the UK understand this, including pretty much everyone Brown worked with during those crisis meetings, which is why Sen is saying what he's saying. He made missteps in other areas (PFIs, the privatization drive, and from a leftist point of view, the choice to leave basically intact the banks he acquired), but he understood macroeconomics better than most.

Unfortunately for him, Murdoch did not trust him not to come after his interests, so here we are.
It is one of the options!

So the problem is that seconds were measured relative to the duration of a day, but that standard changed and now seconds are measured with atomic clocks, making a day to not be equal to 24 hours, yet we pretend that it is, hence the need for leap seconds.

I understand that this isn't ideal for people dealing with actual dates and times, but the upside is that timespans expressed in seconds are now universal, so for example Unix timestamps actually have meaning that doesn't change according to earth's rotation.

Depends where you are. In creative fields in NY, there is tons of free labor, or people getting paid on a scale of Net-180 to Net-Never (proportional to how many times you say "Fuck You, Pay Me"). As well as a load of illegal "internships". Outside of finance, businesses here are often extremely cheap to the point of being dishonest.

I really don't understand why people put up with it. Nobody has any ethics either.

Something to think about with cars and trucks is Americans love to spend thousands to save tens.

So the best way to spend $20K on vehicles is probably $20K of delivery services / delivery truck drivers in order to obtain some economy of scale effects. Hauling 800 pounds of dirt in a small hybrid is bad, spending $25K extra to buy a truck to avoid the home depot $19 rental truck is worse, but best of all is spending $100 to have the giant home depot truck deliver it next time it swings by, repeated 200 times.

Also $20K of purchasing in bulk to eliminate extra trips. The best way to drive to walmart to buy a 4-pack of toilet paper that you just ran out of, is not a 8 mpg truck or a 10 mpg SUV or even an electric car, but to spend a little more $$$ up front to buy the giant pack of toilet paper to avoid running out and eliminate making an extra trip in the first place.

Mhhh... I'm curious also. Well, killer whales are Dolphinidae so technically they are big dolphins. They killed some humans in the past, that is for sure. Some killer whale species are piscivorous and relatively safe, but other species eat mainly mammals, and are probably much more dangerous to humans.

Captive pygmy killer whales are really nasty also. They howl loudly (like wolves) and actively charge against humans when in the same pool. They need open and deep water so is understandable.

Bootlenose dolphins could hit and kill easily an human but probably only if seriously injured or restrained (or if a baby dolphin is in serious danger). Dolphins seem to be really smart and friendly even in the most dangerous situations for humans. Most are very curious with pregnant women for example. Could be really easy for the dolphin to kill the human foetus in this situation with a couple of hits of the beak but this never happens. To try to 'rape' humans is a much more frequent behaviour in male bootlenose dolphins (Not, I'm not joking).

Common dolphins probably not, their beak is too much fragile to take the risk to harm an human. A dolphin with a break mandible is a dead dolphin.

Ziphiidae probably could kill easily a human. They have the character and the strenght, although no case has been recorded I think... humans normally don't share the same space than beaked whales and its sharp and big frontal tooth. I did not advice to try to swim between two males figthing anyways.

Pygmy sperm whales are not aggresive for humans even when injured or stranded, and I'm really happy with it. They will readily defecate over you instead and I can personally assure that is a very sticky red jelly thing but you really don't die for this.

I think that "work with companies that do not produce useless products" is a mildly positive idea, given the context of the system we're in. Even better - work with organisations that are not solely for-profit and that do work that genuinely benefits society, particularly the disadvantaged. Some examples:

1. the "getup.org / kickstarter" crowd-sourced lobbying suggestion made by `icanhackit` in this thread. Particularly if you can lobby to introduce legislation/regulation to bend the rules of the capitalist game in a socially progressive direction!

2. Pollinate Energy (http://pollinateenergy.org/) make solar-powered lights to displace the use of kerosene for lighting by some of India's poor. They run it as a mix of a business and a charity. Unlike a charity, they sell their products and make money to keep operating. Their products displace an inferior competing lighting solution (saving people money and reducing risk from fire). Compared to a pure-charity approach, people take better care of solar lights that they have to pay for (rather ones they are given for free).

Your typo ("this would mace sense") is actually quite topical, because MACE stands for "major adverse cardiac events".
Yeah! Adults should stop doing that childish stuff, like oolouring, watching cartoons, reading fantasy and sci-fi, eating sweets, playing video games and bordgames and roleplaying games, cosplaying, laughing at toilet humour, collecting stamps and postcards and action figures, make funny faces, eat junk food... :)

My favourite quote:

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

I'm coming from Rails (7 years) and am now looking at Spring Boot - I've also experimented with Scala and Play, Scalatra, Sinatra, Go, .Net MVC, Elixir/Phoenix. I'm impressed with what I've seen so far from Spring boot. I've only got a experimental app connecting to a database and producing JSON, but no XML config yet other than my POM. I'm actually very impressed with how much code I'm not writing, which is something I've become accustomed to with Rails and was a surprise from Spring/Java.

On your point about maintainability: If you're writing a large app that you're likely to be supporting for the next 10 years, I like the idea that backwards compatibility or at least some form of lenient deprecation is in there. Once you're over 25k LOC do you really want breaking changes every framework update which require you to drop all your planned features and improvements and change all your code again?

Ask HN: I'm owed 8k by a startup that's going under. What do I do?
I contracted (development work) for a YC startup for over a year. About a month ago, they went radio silent after I decided to end my contract with them and pursue other work. I'm now owed about $8,000 for my final two invoices (which apparently was "on the way" via ACH and must have been retroactively cancelled once I told them those would be my final invoices).

They are not answering my calls or emails. I still have access to all of their code and deployment environments (which I have not touched), and they haven't worked with anyone else since my departure. I believe they're going under.

What are my options? Unfortunately, I am in NYC and they're in SF, and our contract provides for all disagreements to be settled in SF court.

Throwaway account because disparagement, NDA and all that.

EDIT: For everyone that thinks I have ideas about doing something malicious to their site, of course I'm not stupid enough to do that. I mentioned the access to code to show how I'm sure they're going under (I know they haven't had any active development since I left).
Also, who the heck decided to call it a "leap smear"? There isn't anything "leap"ing about it anymore. If you are changing from "leap second" to something indicating smearing, "smear second" is the logical choice.

Just after the pressure event you see Dragon being slung off the rocket... If only it was possible to deploy the parachutes during launch we could've hypothetically saved the payload.

I wonder if the launch abort mechanism on the Dragon V2 would've been of any help here too to jettison it safely away from the rocket.

I read the rocket was around maximum dynamic pressure during the event (Or just after?) and I'm not sure if it would stand such forces of a jettison during such time.
Same goes in economics and a large degree to why Keynes was thrown out by freshwater schools in the 70s.

Hold your horses - because you're paying down debt doesn't mean 'nobody is buying anything'. That only happens if you're over your head. I pay down debt all the time (mortgage) and buy things all the time.

If debt paying is increased, then buying is reduced, ok. And that means the previous level of growth is reduced. Which has a multiplicative effect because everybody is betting on increased growth, by investing in a bigger operation etc. Which leaves them struggling to pay off THEIR debt.

Maybe if we all were content with reasonable growth, instead of buying lottery tickets all the time, betting on increased growth. But you'll get in trouble with your investors if you 'miss out' on any opportunity. This investment market is insane.
Under ideal circumstances, the invisible hand finds the best solution for people's needs weighted by their wealth. The needs of a poor person do not count at all, which is why we are considering donations. We have many rules already in place to prevent negative side-effects caused by people doing "blindly whatever makes the most money", like enslaving their debtors. The failure of communism does not mean that everyone is better off when we stop thinking about the needs of others.
Simple. What's happening is that in the past we were measuring seconds relative to the duration of a day, but since then we've switched to atomic clocks.

So the day is not 24 hours or 86400 seconds, but rather 86400.002 seconds on average. That's about 2 milliseconds or more of deviation per day and for a whole year that's about 0.7 or 0.9 secs worth of deviation. Yet we still pretend that the day has precisely 24 hours, hence the need for leap seconds.

Given that since 40 years ago since leap seconds were adopted about 25 leap seconds have been scheduled, that sounds about right.

I've never used it, and believe I'd prefer a text-based declarative framework like Squib for this task, but just an FYI for everyone, there is a GUI program called nanDeck [1] that is often used for this purpose.

For what it's worth, I've occasionally used a little LaTeX framework derived from [2] to create fairly high-quality prototype cards. Perhaps a LaTeX or PS output from Sqiub would be a useful extension.

From a quick skim though, I think I'll be giving Squib a try the next time I want to do something like this.

PS: If you are looking to promote Squib, as might already be obvious to you, I'd recommend /r/boardgamedesign [3] and somewhere (I'm not sure where) on BoardGameGeek [4]. The latter might be especially interested as many people seem to create custom "fan decks" for existing board games.

The manned capsule has a powered abort system, and this one doesn't, so they really don't need to suggest anything (since a failure here would not be reflective of the surviviability of Dragon2).

They intentionally disable ("safe") the parachute system during the launch phase, but from the rumors I'm hearing coming out of SpaceX, if they had been enabled, this capsule would have survived.

Free is not a sustainable dynamic for non-transient (I.e. Serving soup) tasks.

Imagine if you were to work in a soup kitchen as a volunteer, but the terms were that you'd be liable for any food poisoning, and you have to come in at 3am on Sunday because the stove isn't working, and someone there thinks you looked at the fridge once, which is close enough.
