They don't have any particular duty to protect the data they have about you, other than protecting their own IP.

They certainly do in much of the civilised world. The US is almost as far behind the norm in the modern world when it comes to privacy safeguards as it is in its banking and financial infrastructure.
I am always impressed with clickhouse, especially when it holds up against massive data processing systems, but running on a laptop http://tech.marksblogg.com/benchmarks.html
I know places that have been doing it for years. They just tell you to stop. It's basically an arms race of them trying to figure out how you're doing it and figuring out ways to prevent them from detecting it. The app has a few million users so not sure if Average Joe would just get hellbanned.
Whatever current electronics are made out of? Silicon? It doesn't really matter when you can easily backup data and replace parts. Haven't really figured that one out with human brains yet.
If anyone's burning the programmers is the AI, Block chain programmers. Very soon, the industry will need/have a very small fraction of programmers than what we have today.
No incentive for such a thing.
One mg of Sr-90 has an activity of ~140 uCi. One mg of Tc-99m has an activity of ~5Ci. You probably understand the differences in the implications of handling an amount of material that emits 140uCi compared to one that emits 5Ci.

In medical radiology, the amounts of radioactive isotopes are measured in Bq because the samples are so heavily diluted that it's the only thing you can sensibly measure. This easily hides the fact that when you are talking about roughly equal amounts, Tc-99m is roughly 29 years/6 hours ~=40000 times more dangerous than Sr-90. You just never use equal amounts, when you receive a sample of Tc-99m it's about 40000 times smaller than the Sr-90 sample.
1. Open Definition, http://opendefinition.org/

2. OSM already has a sharealike licence, albeit more akin to LGPL than GPL

3. No, you misunderstand entirely. The Contributor Terms and the current choice of licence (the Open Database Licence) are separate. Even if OSM changes licence, the same Contributor Terms still apply, and those continue to mandate a free and open licence. There is no way to move to a non-open licence without breaking the terms under which every mapper has agreed to contribute their data.

(Even if you did: why? The OSM Foundation is intentionally light - it's a million miles away from the Wikimedia Foundation. Its assets are the domain name and trademark, a very small amount of hardware, and one part-time staff member. You could fork OSM trivially if the Foundation decided to "close the dataset", i.e. hosted a non-open dataset on openstreetmap.org.)

Thanks for the input! I searched around quickly and couldn’t find a reliable current source.
honest question: why is it OK if it's adult that's targeted but not OK if it's children? Literally any argument you apply to the latter applies to the former:

1. still developing -> adults technically are, too.

2. more naive -> naivete is a function of life experience. there are plenty of naive adults.

etc.

how about we just not advertise, at all. this is virtue signaling at its finest. as long as advertising is targeted, children will be targeted. marketers will just make their efforts more opaque.
I think we should be having a discussion about the dimensions of that, yes.

A set of questions I've been thinking through are:

What is privacy?

Can it be quantified?

What is identity?

What are the reasons we want to check or confirm identity?

Can some of those reasons be eliminated?

It seems to me that privacy is the ability to define and defend boundaries of information and disclosure. That the question of what is or isn't known, and to who's benefit that information is used (and in particular, to the benefit of the subject of the information, of society as a whole, or some specific third party or parties), matter. That there is a continuum of interests in protecting and revealing relevant information, much of which has to do with the relationship of the subject to society, and that those with great power, or a history of abusing society's trust, have a far smaller claim to relevant privacy. (Balanced, perhaps, with potential consequent risks: the wealthy in parts of the world are subject to stalkers, frauds, kidnapping, and extortion threats, for example.)

Persons in positions of high power, or convicted of crimes, or who've violated public trust, should be faced with greater disclosures. That would include, on at least two counts, Equifax's former CEO.

Much of the reason for seeking information is to establish trust or credit. Should I trust what you say, the capabilities you claim to have, that you own or control or have created specific properties, resources, or communications? Are you the specific subject of a given medical history? Do you owe, or can you claim, a tax debt or a pension credit?

Also part of this question is what risks (or opportunities) disclosure of specific information portends. Do the specifics of a romantic relationship you had 30 years ago matter? Does the fact that you are, or aren't, a politician, a military officer, or gay, matter? Or that the romantic partner was or was not of age of consent? Or that you were or weren't?

When is knowledge power or control? When is it liberating? For how long should it be controlled?

Do rights expire after a fixed set of time? On death? Or are they carried forward according to, say, tribal customs or beliefs? For how long?

Whereas in my jurisdiction (USA), corporate media conglomerates employ PhD trained child psychologists who research the exact pattern and timing of flashes and other stimuli to catch an iron grip on a child's attention.

You lost me at JS.
It's funny that the TV ad part has the "meant to catch the attention of" clause, but the junk mail part doesn't. So you could likely send a house flyers, or catalogues addressed to "homeowner" or whatever, of exclusively kids' toys, and that'd be fine.
Also a trainer and my students do 6x the amount of work in raw react than with vue. Every one of them, all the time. Looks like Vue sux.

EDIT:

In case this wasn't clear to you, I made this comment to highlight how ridiculous you sound. I don't know about you, but I don't select my tools based on how easy it is for students to learn them. I am a professional software engineer. Tool selection is driven by requirements.

> Add webpack to the mix, make them fight with JSX that doesn't want to do what they need and voila, you get a sad student.

You have made several comments here that lead me to believe that you do not have a good grasp of React and the React ecosystem. I think you are unfairly prejudiced against React because you had a hard time picking it up. This is not the case for everyone. And your students might do 3x more work in Vue because they might have a bad instructor.

Do yourself a favor and forget Redux, and just use Create React App to write a simple application using good old React setState.
Never judge a show by the first season, or worse the first few episodes. Cast need time to get accustomed to the part, to create alchemy etc. Also, "unusual" shows like DS9 (IMO best Trek ever) or even Babylon5 (IMO best non-Trek ever) etc. need some adjustment from the viewer. I recall hating Farscape, but decided to keep watching it anyway and in the end I loved it so much that I cried after the last episode. Now I'm watching again Stargate Atlantis (IMO best SG ever) which started strong from the very first episode, but nonetheless grew anyway with time.
I wished ST Voyager could get better as well... that show had so much potential:(
This has nothing to do with whether engineering is a "cost center" or not. It's about fundamentally what is important about the practice of engineering. Whether to use Python or Go or Java or Rust or whatever is rarely anything other than bike shedding. In those cases where it's not, the key problems are rarely which language is technically better: more often the problems are associated with labor supply and how well the proposed language' ecosystem plays with existing implementations'.

It does make sense to pay a fee for usage of the hardware, if only to guarantee legitimate usage.
This is unfortunate. It doesn't seem like any participant here is doing anything wrong in isolation-- Intel is running each core at the highest frequency it can to avoid meltdown, and the compiler is just using the instructions that are available-- but the net effect of them together is suboptimal.

I wonder if this can be solved by overprovisioning cooling for the chips. Does the dynamic frequency scaling kick in based on core temperature? Otherwise you might have to just do experiments to see how many cores to use to maximize the aggregate throughput.
Apologies for my laziness, but what is meant by "private API" here and why Apple does not want them to be used?
Wait. Isn't D considered a GC'd language? You seem to be implying it's not.

I 100% prefer the status quo to the idea proposed here. I understand that some people would rather not be pictured, but I don't think that should override the right of others to make images in public spaces (or private spaces with suitable permission).
I think ML obviously has a lot of applications, but I also think things like "Neural Nets" and "self-driving cars" have great marketing. But in general I think software innovations are usually initially limited by hardware, so as more low powered convolutional accelerator chips come on the market you will see more and more of the technologies in self-driving cars move into smaller, more mobile, and more naturally behaving robots. And robotics is made up of numerous fields: vision, planning, sensors, sensor fusion, perception, firmware, application software, etc. So any of those will come along for the ride, ML is great but it can't interact with the world without UI and software developers and all sorts of other software specializations.
I looked into something similar recently. The following is based on plenty of research, but Intel's information can be a bit ambiguous and incomplete at times, so I can't promise I have every detail right.

FOR OTHERS: Note that you might be able to disable ME's remote access simply by ordering a computer with "No VPro".

1. ME is a platform with many applications that run on it; AMT (Active Management Technology) is one of them.

2. AMT has many components; remote management is one of them.

3. AMT comes in multiple 'editions' (my word, not Intel's) with different features. The Small Business Technology (SBT) edition does not provide remote access by design, with the idea (AFAICT) that small businesses don't want to setup and manage management servers and therefore remote access is insecure.

4. If in MEBx[0], you see "Small Business Technology", then there's no remote management - unless there's another remote management function in ME that is independent of AMT. Also, the first reference below provides the official method of identifying SBT implementations (via a flag in some table). I discovered it on a system ordered with a "No VPro"[1] network card (I'm still not sure why that's a spec of the NIC and not the processor).

Here are a couple of useful references:

* SBT: https://software.intel.com/en-us/documentation/amt-reference...

* MEBx on i7 processors (the title also specifies a chipset; I'm not sure how much that matters): http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/in...

.............

[0] MEBx is Management Engine BIOS Extension: the text-mode, pre-OS console UI for configuring ME

[1] VPro is not a product or technology. It's merely branding for, AFAICT, an ambiguously defined group of products that IT professionals might be interested in. It includes AMT (which is also part of ME and often marketed independently), TXT (Trusted Execution Technology), and more.

> I take issue to the generalization that short half lives = more danger. That is just not true.

On this I have to concede that it's not strictly true because some decay events produce more/ more dangerous radiation than others, and much more importantly, the decay of some isotopes start a long decay chain where all the successor isotopes decay much faster than the original. However, both of those effects are relatively small constant multipliers next to the 9 order of magnitude difference between decay rate of an isotope with a half-life of 16 million years compared to an isotope with a half-life of 8 days.

Cheers! Yep, most people can't be bothered to make their own lives easier. The algorithm is: if it involves anything unknown - bail.
Yep, with their infrastructure it's a much easier task to build something and take advantage of the scale in multiple ways, I believe GReader was a 20% time project too. I don't think any one has come close to matching the ease and scale that GReader operated at.

Sure their search has improved too, but it's pull instead of the push model that RSS is. The social networks are no substitutes, though Twitter comes closer than FB because it doesn't have to deal with my other network posts when trying to surface content I would be interested in.
Photo dna is just one of a class of algorithms called perceptual image hashes (there are also perceptual audio and video hash algorithms). They by no means invented the technique, just one particular branded implementation of it.
IMO the best shows are later in the series, which is kind of rare for a long running TV show. Normally a long running show gets worse over time. I really appreciated the scope of battle scenes in the 6th and 7th seasons. The spiritual landscape implications of aiding a former enemy that you loathe. Fighting the good fight, but being mentally scarred by it.
This sounds good and all, but there is actually a thing called provable correctness or formal verification, where code really is provably correct.

Private APIs are APIs that only Apple is allowed to use. They let you do stuff you're not supposed to be able to do like put stuff on the home screen, however, these days, it's mostly enforced by the security model, so you can call the private API all you want and it's not going to do anything.

They also let you do things like record what other apps, etc are doing. Think of the Linux top command, on iOS there's no real reason for an app to need to list the other processes, so you can't. However, if you want to know what apps are running on the phone this would be a very useful API to have access to.
Actually, Firefox has built in RSS support, under the name live bookmarks.

I think the button for RSS was shown by default in the past, but now you have to add it to the browser UI manually (presumably, it was hidden because no one used it).
I agree. They are designed to get as many views from kids. Them being traumatic may be a side effect, but not the goal.
I love reminders like this that "overnight success" is basically non-existent.
We are talking about different things. I was talking about allowing access to encrypted data on devices which is the main issue that le has been complaining about. You seem to be talking about a backdoor for all crypto everywhere which is very different.
I suggest that kids use sites such as Starfall.com. They do not track kids or apply any algos. They simply let kids explore at their own pace.

No, but people measure the amount of radioactive materials in moles and kg.

As someone relatively naive on these things, iOS seems like the kind of platform where it's easier to integrate than the more generic case. Much easier for them to optimise for it, since
(1) Apps are often using Apple-provided frameworks and you can optimise around those specifically

(2) iPhones are generally performing a single task in the foreground and frequently background tasks. Even with an iPad that moves up to only 2 simultaneous tasks. Seems much easier to optimise the scheduling based on that.

(3) There is a very limited set of hardware developers have to optimise for, literally basically 1 CPU per year. On that basis, any quirks will likely be found in development and can be fixed then rather than having different quirks accross a wider range of CPUs that you might have seen in Android [since 1 and 2 would apply reasonably equally to Android devices]

Does a Rhinoceros Have a Right to Be Forgotten?
Oh please, the other comments weren't inflammatory? My comment certainly was substantive in pointing out a long-term trend I've noticed in blind Apple-bashing on HN without substance. Sorry I care about the quality of HN commentary, which has really taken a nosedive in recent years. You're definitely doing such a great job keeping it high /s.

You're actually part of the problem by being more concerned about me stepping on toes than the actual issue at hand. Funny how I never see mods like you step in when other inflammatory bait is posted though such as the threads on women in tech. Turns out its okay to barf out any garbage you like as long as you mask your tone well enough and it doesn't offend the reactionaries.

Don't blame me, I'm only reacting to low-effort commentary in turn. Quality discourse begets quality discourse, not the opposite. If you ban me, it'll only vindicate my belief that HN is more concerned about being an echo chamber for techbros and is diametrically opposed to any dissent.

If mods like you did their jobs, low-effort crap would be hidden and the users chided, but instead you shoot the messengers who try to preserve some semblance of quality. I'm usually a civil contributor which is obvious from my post history, but I won't just sit by while the culture of HN deteriorates and others tolerate it because somehow low-effort commentary is equivalent to every other type. Sorry I didn't coddle those users when I pointed out the circlejerk :(.

If the HN you want to create is one where people just mindlessly regurgitate the latest tech meme and make low-effort pop culture references, more power to you.
Give it a year or two and you will see frameworks where the complex mathematics behind ML will be more abstracted away, the model architectures used for various applications will converge on their best uses and any software engineer will be able to train a model to do what they want and apply it to their product. There's a lot of hype right now, but you probably won't need the in-depth ML knowledge to get create products in the coming future. Right now there is still a lot of research (trial and error) on fiddling with architectures to get the best results. Personally I like to build products, and struggling with messy training code, running tests, and comparing results aren't my cup of tea.
I agree. In free category, post-GR, I have extensively used Digg and now I'm using Inoreader. Ino works out well wherever I am at (desktop, mobile etc). Digg was working out fine until they broke something for me.

Subscribing information via email is atrocious. Newsletter subscription via email is okay. I still don't know how people follow any kind of information (while keeping their sanity) via Twitter (tit for tat feuds) and/or Facebook (my friends and family do not generate good information for me to consume - sorry).
For an example for F# perhaps take a look at:

What I found especially interesting in the Medium post that (it seems) spurred this is the suggestion that algorithmically-generated content seems very easily to become nightmarish without any malicious intent.
