WWW was absolutely revolutionary.

Oh come on. This was a comment that identified a general attitude towards authority and security in Australia. Fear of terrorism is used to justify both surveillance laws and, at some level, the xenophobia behind "we will decide" immigration policy. Social/political roots trace back to establishment as a penal colony.

I don't buy "enum is a relation" any more than "VARCHAR is a relation" or "REAL is a relation". These just data types that represent the domain or range of possible values that may participate in a relation.

As long as you don't care if at most 4 of your accounts get hacked, then you have an effective strategy, I guess.

Your backup retention policy should comply with GDPR, and you should be prepared to justify extended retention periods.

By "community" do you mean the website forum operated by Y Combinator Management LLC? That's some hubris.

IANAL - no idea what "erasure" as in the "Right to erasure" means http://www.privacy-regulation.eu/en/article-17-right-to-eras...

But... if deleted data is no longer processed, does that mean it can not longer be used for targeting etc?

works in bash:

for example, the tweets by @newsycombinator are posted via API.

transference

Do you really believe twitters product managers did not considered people might be cramming to tweet?

extreme zeal is the worst aspect? ok, great.

hermetic build is part of reproducible build, as far as the general concepts go.

true that anniversaries are not fixed to timezone, but these are not timestamps, and generally not even dates. Just recurrences specified by month, day (or maybe time of day eg Armistice Day observed at 11:00am).

Better example: Typically an events schedule should specify destination timezone when registering an event, so that if regulations on local timezone change, scheduled event times remain valid.

functions are relations

> tables are like classes, columns are the properties, and rows are instances.

tables are like functions, columns are the arguments, rows are the invocations

It provides incentive for those disposed to leaving anyway.

I prefer singular; using a plural or collective casts the table as a container of instances, rather than as a relation between attributes.

Object oriented design principles do not effectively translate to relational design

it's called a test fixture.

yes, as there always has been in the grammar of English and many other languages.

DST becomes less fun in the tropics.

Longreach is about the same longitude as Melbourne - but compare the daylight hours:

Wasn't the idea that he integrated on n for 100 to infinity, to arrive at that probability? So the probably should be interpreted as the probability of an eventual counter-example.

Bees collect pollen, but prefer nectar to sugar water.

but what if the challenge was not 2 chars but 3 (d, e, f)?

> Apple is legally a person

it's not government "for the persons"

> concept of identity

I like the working definition "set of identifiers" because it frames identify an externalized bunch of labels, understood as relational propositions - truth uncertain - distinct from the purely internal concept of "self".

Works in a non-digital setting too: "name? dob? employer? nationality?"

That "silly" argument is directly refuting the silly specificity on the silly poster.
