The legislation itself refers to this in article 7.4: "When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract. "
I don't think it is forbidden, but you'd have a hard time explaining why consent is freely given despite the fact that access to a web site is denied if you don't give consent.
Yes dead code elimination is also called tree shaking and it is typically done at compile time. However for .NET, since you can use reflection to load any type in an assembly and call any method dynamically, removing a method is isn't statically called could cause you to fail at runtime.

Since reflection and dynamic invocation is a major feature of the runtime, they have avoided this optimization before.
It is an actual issue. Distribution of wealth affects the strength of the economy. The more wealth you spread out amongst the many, the faster your economy is likely to grow. It's the working class and middle class that are the major driving force in an economy (including job creation), not the rich.
It also has the incredibly annoying behavior that if you watch one video you are shown of some cartoon (maybe Family Guy, or the Simpsons, or the DC Comics cartoon from the 90s), even if you didn't enjoy it, what feels like a full third of your feed will be that for days... from one video you saw... it all makes absolutely no sense :/. It would be epic if it noticed "oh, this user seems to like watching pop culture examples of this specific thing happening in the videos (such as commentary on machine learning, or politics, or the existential angst that is life itself)" and started finding such across all TV shows (as I quite like many of these shows! but that isn't why I am watching them today), but it just goes "oh, you like Futurama? OMG HAVE I GOT FUTURAMA FOR YOU".

There is a spectrum of gender, it's just that 99.99%+ of the population fits into male or female, that doesn't mean that the other combinations don't exist however. And of course there are more combinations than XY and XX, that's been known since like the 1950s! They're rare, but not absent. Transgender is more complicated, but there are initial signs (difference in diffusibility of brain matter in mri scans and effect of fetal testosterone levels) that there are biological reasons involved there as well. In the animal world, there are freemartins that are similar.

One of the points of the article is that the field wasn't idle during those 15 years; bit gold, b-money, and Finney's RPOW made incremental improvements on hashcash that led to Bitcoin.

Also, Bitcoin is kind of a "dirty" solution to the consensus problem; if all the academics were looking for an elegant solution it's not surprising that they didn't discover it.
Of course Travis still thinks that, he is the founder. He cares about the long term survival of Uber, not about an exit event. Uber is in a complicated industry, in complicated times with very aggressive competitors. It just takes time, but somebody is unwilling to wait anymore.

The bird cannot fly, we already know that. They are crashing Uber against a wall and they just don't care. Do you know what's going to be the next word coming out of the new CEO? It's going to be "layoff". Whatever it takes to fix the books. And then what?

Then maybe Travis comes back to right the ship if it's not too late.
> A few executives making large salaries is not an actual issue.

Do you have a citation for this? Because Capital in the Twenty-First Century showed, with a boatload of empirical data behind it, that "superstar salaries" are one of the main drivers of inequality at present (it's a key difference between the inequality now and that of previous centuries - earlier, we had inequality of wealth and now we have inequality of income)
I was asking about the relation to the first sentence, the one starting with "In order to ensure that". That first sentence talks about "a specific case where there is a clear imbalance between the data subject and the controller, in particular where the controller is a public authority". Is the second sentence ("Consent is presumed not to be freely given...") limited to cases with such imbalance?
Eh, couldn't you make the argument that the Cookie warnings showed that a government body could meaningfully change the experience of the internet? As small as the warnings are, had anything like it been done before?

This is pretty cool!

I noticed the author decided to use metric thread machine hardware. He's probably an American because he specified McMaster-Carr as a source.

#4 and #6 machine screws are a lot less costly here and available everywhere. (Your hard drive screws are 6-32, same as the electrical wall boxes; floppy 4-40)

I personally hate unified threads, on the basis that the rest of the world uses iso threads. But this is one of those times that being a pedant about it would increase the cost.
An IPO will involve a big haircut for current investors, especially the late-stage ones. Uber is way overvalued.

Do not invest in Uber. It would be downright stupid to do so. What is their product? Providing rides? No, that's what drivers do. Ubers product is running a bunch of servers, a mobile app, and bearing the first-mover disadvantage of fighting with all the regulators about ridesharing. The problem with this is that those servers and that app? The thing that collects the money for Uber? No one needs Uber for that. Tomorrow someone could launch a fully peer to peer version of the software that runs in distributed fashion across all devices it gets installed upon, cutting them completely out of the loop, making rides cheaper and making drivers more money.

And if Uber perfects self-driving cars if they are deluded enough to think they can replace their human drivers with a roving fleet of such... oh how childish and stupid that would be. I would give it 10 days before someone would introduce GUber which lets individuals with self-driving cars to time share them out when not in use via an app, destroying Uber swiftly and making every self-driving car they own (and maintain) a liability.

The only way I could see them remaining interesting for more than a couple more years would be if they developed an awesome self-driving car - and gave it away for free. With anyone who accepted one obligated to permit the thing to be time-shared out by Uber to provide rides when its not being used with X number of hours of availability given per month. That would be hard to compete with, whether through peer to peer or individuals renting their self-driving cars...

>regardless of whether there is good code being written or successful product/market fit.

I don't think OP is suggesting that engineering is responsible for product/market fit but rather sprints and burndown charts provide some visibility and satisfaction that work is getting done (regardless of whether the code is clean and regardless of whether it is the work that ought to be getting worked on).

I take the OP to be pointing out the reason that agile gets adopted and it's short comings that get overlooked because it makes people feel good.

Clueless management is clueless. They often feel that nothing gets done without some visible artifact. Agile allows the dev/engineering team to help show the tasks and behind the scenes things that need to be done. Clueless management likes Agile for this visibility. But Agile doesn't necessarily ensure proper product/market fit, especially early on when the first sprints deal with architecture setup foundation code. Clueless management doesn't understand this (and it is managements job to ensure the dev team/engineering team is working on the correct solution).
But that wouldn't affect the ratio of employee wage to executive wage. Lobbying/bribing would increase the company's total profit.
> uses that irrelevant premise to conclude that diversity programs at Google are useless.

You obviously didn't read the darn memo.

And as it has been explained multiple times by many people, and you still spout the same nonsense, I am not going to explain it to you again.
Prior to Bitcoin, there was NO distributed algorithm capable of maintaining an agreed-upon blockchain of transactions in perpetuity, in a manner resistant to attack by fraudulent nodes. Such an algorithm didn't exist prior to Bitcoin.
stringCache is a red herring. While it publishes the string result unsafely, any string should be safe for use at any thread.
That's what my question is about. The OP claims "immutable implies thread-safe". My question is whether the spec promises that, and if so, where.

Reading https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/math/BigDecim..., I can see the class is immutable, but that page mentions neither "thread" nor "concurrent".

And yes, I think it has to define what it means by those terms before one can assume that seemingly obvious claim to be true. Reason? Both thread-safe and immutable are fairly vague terms that different readers can interpret differently. For example, BigDecimal is declared to be immutable, but, in the implementation being discussed, has a field that can get modified when one calls toString() on it.
What I'm saying is that nothing comes out of nowhere, and plenty of things are portrayed as coming out of nowhere. Bitcoin isn't anything special. I believe all the hate it receives is simply because all of the extra attention it gets and the unsavory people that surround it, and not because it is any more or less of an achievement than anything else.
They mean parallelism, right? Concurrency is what JS is already known for.
They aren't being a genuine, credible anti-corporate voice either.

Yes and no. Trump was elected on a platform of tearing up TPP, TTIP, NAFTA etc, all of which are loved by large corporations looking to offshore work and evade taxes. There are a lot of people who voted for that anti-corporate message, and against Hillary who was obviously in Wall Street's pocket.

I mean, the guy has been in the public eye since what, the 70's? He has been photographed socialising with people of all races, he employs plenty of women in senior roles in his companies, he married an immigrant - yet the big, corporate media conglomerates are determined to paint him as a racist sexist etc etc - they all loved him while he stayed out of politics - doesn't that seem a little odd?

Humble Bundle is, indeed, legit.
In home shop it all comes to what is easiest. Most boards that I do are single runs. If laser cutter can do single run on site without hassle of getting toner transfer or uv run that's great.
I did not see that this is different from single run operation (considering how it is wired) so no point to wait for pcbs. That can wait for tens or more pcbs.

Also it boils down to personal need. This is hand crafted and tailored piece. With this setup you can easily modify and correct everything to work.

Why do you think Wall Street strong armed them into dropping the motto? Isn't it more likely that the people in charge simply changed their minds about the best way to run the company? And, given the lack of formal control, what mechanism did Wall Street use?

Humble Bundle content is DRM-free. Once you pay you get download links in your e-mail for downloading the content. Books are offered in PDF, ePub and Mobi formats. You can back up the books and/or keep the e-mail for future.

>If you'd like to change that, there are two ways, one is regulation and legislation which is outside of the scope of NN,

Is NN not a regulation? Is it voluntary?

My point is that NN is not as high a priority, given what corporate advocates of NN have done when it was their turn to play fair.

I am more concerned about power exercised over speech, than power over making packets go fast or slow.

>and competition, which is only possible if NN exists in a robust form.

Competition would allow NN to exist, not other way around. Monopoly of ISPs is the root of NN being challenged.
The real news is this is precisely why TK was ousted. He was categorically opposed to taking Uber public, and that went against the wishes of big investors who want an IPO payday.
The renderings they are showing for newer plans (at 1:27 of the video) seem to indicate a soil later running a long the wall of the building, in addition to the roof. As the result water would naturally travel down that wall and into the surrounding soil, preventing the buildup on the roof and negating need for a traditional drain.

That said, what would be required to make sure no barrier formed, say from the roots system or something else is really hard to say.

You'd also need some sort of lining that would prevent the moisture from being obsorbed by the building materials themselves.
I don't see why Google's market share matters. If it was 60% instead of 96%, couldn't you make the same argument that Google Maps was receiving an unfair advantage, just of a somewhat different magnitude?

I also don't see why it matters whether there are different business categories involved. If you typed "best search engine" into Bing, and Bing artificially ensured that bing.com was the first result, wouldn't the same criticism apply?

It seems to me that the arguments being made apply to all cross-promotions. You could say that Yahoo is giving Yahoo Mail an unfair advantage by promoting it on their portal. I don't see a meaningful difference.

If Uber loses it's ride providing capability, there is a TON of money in licensing the use of their software/infrastructure. They could layoff 80% of their staff and live off a pile of money they could bring in licensing software to other transportation related companies.
It's a question of sum(risk * each downside) vs benefit. Large scale genetic editing for cosmetic reasons has minimal benefit and several high risks with large associated downsides.

Protein folding as a tiny example is something we have trouble simulating, expanding to multi cellular mechanisms across a lifetime is basically impossible without directly testing it. And those tests will be done on people. Prions are just an example of the kind of issues people will be dealing with. It’s really not just about inserting some code from somewhere else it’s a question of how physical structures interact and degrade.

Long term I have no problem with it. But, right now we could give children blue hair for example but we have no idea what else that might cause.

PS: That said, copying things from other humans is probably significantly safer and this editing will take place. I just don't think we should introduce it at the society level without at least a lifetime of test data and significant sample sizes.
The trade union is just one part of the EU, it is much more than that.

We are still in this ice age, technically speaking, but it is waning. At the peak of this ice age the ice was 2-3 miles high across much of North America. But human population exploded during this interglacial period, which is clearly favorable to us. The population of humans on earth has increased 20x in the last 1000 years, a rate of increase that relies in large part on fossil water. When the ice age ends and the glaciers are gone what are all those people going to drink? Humanity faces a monumental technical challenge in providing for themselves that which nature has heretofore provided, else it faces a significant reduction in population.
It was known previously that elements on the board wanted IPO, and this is something you'd have to get ultra clear before you'd be given the job. I hope.

Yeah, that already exists. It's called the phone app. You use it call a cab company for a ride.

> cutting them completely out of the loop, making rides cheaper and making drivers more money.

Rides don't get cheaper without Uber, they'll get more expensive. Pricing has been artificially deflated using VC money. Without that you get back to cab prices again.
> It's a shame everything has gotten so overly politicized nowadays, this is the adult-equivalent of "I'm picking up my toys and going home." The obstructionism and whining has got to come to an end, the election is over and Trump won. Deal with it.

No. Trump needs to be fought every single day. Democrats won on healthcare because the republicans screwed up, not everything will be that easy.

It's also really fun to hear people whining about obstruction when the republicans control the house, senate, and presidency.

It's also worth noting that the people quitting here wanted to work with Trump and are giving up because they've decided it's not going to work out.
Yup, age old "that's not my job" strikes again.
The chances of this acutally becoming law are fairly small.

Firstly, most of the ruling party (Tories) are rabidly "pro buisness" which translates to sounding tough on anything that could be twisted into "red tape".

Secondly, this is an attempt to steal thunder from the current opposition party, who are currently in disarray.

Thirdly, and most importantly, there is simply not enough time for this to be implemented fully.
I will look up webclipper. Printing as I stated (assumed printing to pdf not paper) does not always work as imgur page is dynamic and does not retain all content loaded on screen (at least on Chromium and Vivaldi).
For that matter, anyone who'd like to have "fun" with concurrency and lock management in browser-side JS is free to play around with recurring asynchronous data fetching cached in localStorage when multiple browser tabs are open.

Spoiler: locks are the wrong approach and you should be relying on events/callbacks instead. Oddly enough, that's similar to my gut feeling about Threads in JS.
That is a particularly superb overview. Thank you for sharing it.
JFC.... In the late 1970s, the US FTC was worried about rising executive pay. So they pioneered similar 'transparency' requirements, forcing publicly traded companies to reveal the compensation of their executives.

Do you know what the result was? MASSIVE increases in executive pay. Rather than shaming companies by making them admit to paying their executives hundreds or thousands of times more than they pay their average employees who are actually creating all of the companies value, they turned executive compensation into a signal to investors of corporate health. 'Would that company be able to pay their CEO $650 million a year if it was failing? Of course not!'

This move in Britain appears to be nothing more than an attempt to radically amplify economic inequality, not reduce it. And it will succeed at that as well as it succeeded in the US.
