It may appear that way, but even privacy-for-profit schemes are illusory. The devices still send the data, it is still collated. Eventually this will effect the elites personally and negatively, someone will slip up with their parallel cons

Details. But sure. In truth the best way to do the data layer is to use stored procs with a generated binding at the application layer. This is absolutely safe from injection, and is wicked fast as well.

I've been doing ORM on Java since Hibernate was new, and it has always sucked. One of the selling points, which is now understood to be garbage, is that you can use different databases. But no-one uses different databases. Another sell

The "two digit periodic table symbol" is also arbitrary - it has to be initial caps! Then if you refresh the page, the random stuff resets, so I gave up at that point with !marchpepsidn26n2555VIIVabout where "dn26n" is r

This looks like fraud by Amap and negligence by Google (and Apple). The 100k users have cause for a class action. However the upfront cost of such a thing is prohibitive. There is also the possibility that this is a national security issue.

Limit trades to once per hour, then, and require a human to enter them.

The EU seems to have it's act together. Things in the US won't change until the elites feel that pervasive surveillance impacts them personally and negatively.

We'll approach it like a network-on-a-chip: 128 servers with an extremely fast network. Each server will be a process. One process will be something like ingress, another like a message queue and the rest will be workers. Chances are t

It's so strange when a government agency seems to actually advocate for people rather than for special interests.

Yes, and there is never, ever time to go back and address the weaknesses of the initial fast and dirty approach. If you prove out a product, it's proved, and any further work addressing tech debt is pure overhead, from the perspective

It was/is a huge step backwards in terms of DX, but an infinite step forward for distribution. Distribution is the ONLY problem, which is why the shift happened.

Indeed, it doesn't seem competitive even for academia. 36k euros is just above EU minimum wage, I think.

Signs are quite potent signals, static objects designed to inform and direct. It's only by long habituation that we ignore their power. I'm not at all surprised that they captured your attention!

yes, ideally it would be generative and reactive. There was a throw-away idea at the end of Stephenson's "The Diamond Age" that altered the appearance of a woman based on your reaction, to make her more and more attractive to

I'm not joking when I say I want to write software for this thing that can help you get the most out of a psychedelic experience. I think the combination could be powerfully positive (or negative, of course).

Yes! I did this tour, and it was surprising how much of their boards are hand assembled right there in the factory. Lots of discrete components. You also get to play some very expensive gear that you may never see elsewhere. But everything

This is misleading. All problems are easier to bear when you are connected to people dealing with the same problem. Conversely, all problems are harder to bear when you must deal with it alone, particularly when you feel you MUST deal with

Finds like this are great because they can possibly shed light on the problem of abiogenesis. Many people, including myself, think there were possibly several generations of life that preceded the RNA/DNA driven stuff we have today. It

The normal neoliberal solution is to wait for a new company with a new design to meet the demand for repairable, open devices. This is already happening, and I am convinced will eventually replace ALL proprietary blobs and silicon. This is

I believe you. But hear me when I say: you would be wrong for doing so. It's one of HN's strengths that it doesn't just not punish contrarian views, but actively encourages them. It's an attitude that resonates strongly

YC is a Reddit investor, and dang hasn't chimed in connecting the threads, and the other thread was removed from the homepage. It's suggestive but it doesn't prove anything. The guidelines say that HN moderates its own proper
