It appears not - it requires the consent to be freely given, as in, the customer actually wants you to process the data or the data is inherently necessary for the service e.g. a shipping address to ship goods. "'consent' of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;"

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."

Recital 43 "...Consent is presumed not to be freely given if [...] or if the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on the consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance."

Companies can deny services that cost them money unless you pay; but if you make "consent" as a condition for everyone then it's assumed that it's not freely given consent. You can deny service to everyone, but you can't require consent from everyone. That's not a new thing - that's exactly how the law works already regarding e.g. spam restrictions; you can have opt-in confirmation only if it's optional, if you make it mandatory to "opt-in" (e.g. deny registration unless the opt-in is checked) then it's not consent.

Also, even if you have consent, it can be revoked at any time (e.g. 5 minutes after the user received what they wanted), and you have to unconditionally remove the private information from your systems, even if you gave them a discount because they had "consented" at that moment.

Also, the customer may give you consent to process their data as such (e.g. include in your service) but object to their use in targeted marketing.

Article 21 (Right to object) "... (2) Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. (3) Where the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes." - so it should be expected that even if you have consensually obtained the data, then you cannot use it freely, you can use it only for particular purposes; and things like EULAs can't override that.

In this context, the objection is to laundering.

Within a developed and healthy economy, corruption is ideally minimised and caught by regulation.

Poorer developing countries are more prone to corruption and fraud, because there are not as many pooled resources to stop it.

The grandparent post is pretty clearly taking umbrage with those people attempting to circumvent the few systems in place. A motivation for doing that, is because a shifting their resources to a stable and developed economy legitimises their assets.

Those assets are often the result of raping their own country. People literally die, as money is stolen and taken from them.

This has nothing to do with accepting competition as a result of globalisation. It is however correlated with it, as open borders and trade makes it possible.

In a lot of ways, it mimics 19th century imperialism, where small countries were raped for their assets by foreign powers. The key difference being that, in these cases, the abuse and exploitation comes from within

Just because it's a blue state, doesn't mean that it doesn't have red districts. Washington and Oregon are pretty damn blue, but it's because the western parts are ultra-blue. Eastern ones are very conservative in comparison, though. So their representatives very much care about re-election - which is why they're voting for, and very visibly supporting, the Republican agenda, because that's what their electorate demands of them.

The ones that are on shaky ground are those in areas that previously voted Republican primarily for economic rather than social reasons (i.e. for the sake of low taxes, not because they wanted to ban abortion etc), and are now flipping to blue because Republican social policies became intolerable. This is many suburban districts. And Republicans there are listening; for example, in my district (WA-8), Dave Reichert voted against AHCA.

The catch is, Republicans in those districts know that even if they pander to the new electorate somewhat, there are still enough reasons why their Democrat opponent will likely get their vote. They'd basically need to be liberal on everything except taxes (and given the nature of the tax proposal that Republicans unveiled, not even on that, since it hurts the suburban mid/high-middle class dwellers most!), at which point they might as well just switch parties. So you see a bunch of guys saying they won't run for re-election at all, and then they treat their remaining term as a means to squeeze the few last things in while they can.

But micrisoft doesnt wants general PC's running LTSB. As they put it ..

"Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB is a separate Long Term Servicing Channel version. Long-term Servicing channel is not intended for deployment on most or all the PCs in an organization; it should be used only for special-purpose devices. As a general guideline, a PC with Microsoft Office installed is a general-purpose device, typically used by an information worker, and therefore it is better suited for the Semi-Annual servicing channel."

I dunno, we have plenty of politicians supporting legalization now. We even have one state where legalization was done via legislature.

Also, interestingly, this is a very easy process, if we can get a president elected who is of that persuasion. The reason being, Congress vested DEA with the executive authority to reschedule drugs. So, in theory, the president could just direct them to do so. Congress can override and reinstate it, of course - but voting to re-criminalize it after it was legalized would also be a politically dangerous move.

I don’t follow your point about deflation.

Ultimately price change has to be neutral in the medium/long run.

Simply, interest rates would become higher because of deflation.

If I lend you 1 Bitcoin today and value will be 1.1 tomorrow, I need to factor that in the interest rate I ask you, on top of the prevailing real return to investing.

In my view, the problem it’s a matter of transaction costs induced by continuosly changing prices.

The speed of packets in fiber is exactly the one calculate doing the math combining together the speed of light and the refraction coefficient of fiber.

What slowndown everything is reaching an hub, detect the light and trasmute those impulses into bits, decide where to redirect the packet, and re-trasmute the bits into light impulse.

It is not the light domain the one that dominate the speed of packets but is the electronic domain.

Am I wrong?

We also have a staggering amount of food already canned/frozen or grown in greenhouses just to make sure staple foods are available year-round.

At least in germany the criticism is based on the fact that Amazon considers its business and workforce as part of the lower paying logistics sector, while unions expect Amazon's employess to be paid according to the retail/trade labor contract.

It is actually obsolete from firmware point of view, and in spite of the efforts reverse engineering it didn’t get right most of the architecture. In the other hand there are other mainframe emulation projects sold by IBM which are capable to scale quite good, but in one hand it was the fear of killing the mainframe (e.g. offering emulated mainframe infrastructure from a cloud). In the other hand it was y he fear of a weak architecture reselling an emulated mainframe without all the warranties that the actual hardware and firmware provides made them sell those only licensed as development kits.

Finally everything is a business decision.

Most (well, all) Perl programming I do these days is simple scripts for automating tedious tasks, reporting, etc., and the odd CGI script.

Good point here. There have been several episodic television series I've watched that I've experienced as unusually gripping (the usual suspects, Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, Man in the High castle).

One area where the long form exceeds the 90 min format is the depth of characterization it allows, and accompanying narrative attachment.

Soap operas have relied on this effect for years, allowing them to succeed despite low production values.

Coupled with the superior craftsmanship of modern episodic TV, is a pretty "gripping" experience.

The extended narrative structure also allows more justification for the characters actions to emerge naturally. In a shorter film, a lot of the characters' dialog has to serve as exposition, resulting in dialogue that sounds contrived.

I've also noticed shorter movies reliance on tropes to condense the timeframe of the narrative action so extremely. Things like voice-overs, montages, heavy make up to show aging, conventional narrative structures, the aforementioned expositionary dialog, (sub) titles.

The fact a narrative that spans years can be communicated effectively, in a 90 min film, is powerful evidence that the art of filmmaking does not use a visual medium to simply create an experience that relies on the verisimilitude to lived reality.

This highlights what I see as a...quirk of human inclination to try and recreate, or rather present as alternative perspectives, imagined realities.

Personally, probably related to my middle age, the prospect of technology to create virtual reality has minimal appeal.

In the other hand, technology that allows enhanced perceptions into actual reality is highly enticing, and seems to be an underserved area of human experience. I'm thinking of things, for example, like cognitive enhancing drugs. Or tools that can help control out of balance behavior.
It doesn't?
”platonic solids are solids where all the sides are equal and all the faces are the same regular polygon” is true, but the reverse isn’t.

I think you also want all vertices to lie on a single sphere.

Without that, you can have various stellated polyhedra, constructions of 6 or 10 equilateral triangles, an infinite number of constructs that only contain squares, and probably others.

I also think “all the faces are the same regular polygon” implies “all the sides are equal” for the ‘normal’ definitions of “polyhedron”, but that definition is surprisingly hard. One typically wants to exclude faces crossing each other and constricts that aren’t connected, such as “two cubes”, so who knows?

I made use of this astonishing (to me) fact a couple of years ago, in an article I co-authored on hypothetical physical theories [0].

We considered theories where the "Bloch sphere" [1] of a primitive system took the form of a regular convex polytope, and showed that this led to highly restricted multi-system dynamics. We used the fact that every facet was diametrically opposite to another facet, except in the case of odd-sided polygons, for which we had to drive the same thing in a different way. It wasn't a huge or surprising result, but it was a lot of fun to prove something that applied to those polytopes in all dimensions.

Sure there are some hysterical interpretations of the term “socialism” by American politicians, but European welfare states are still decidedly capitalist.
"It provides a framework for solving hard problems by encouraging you to break them down into a series of smaller ones.

"It helps you focus on the task at hand by providing immediate context on what you’re doing. If you forget or become distracted, you can quickly get back to your train of thought.

"It helps you learn quickly. You can observe your method for problem solving, see what works and what doesn’t and make improvements."

Saying "no mention on how it would help, and what you would do with them after you write them up" feels inaccurate to me (although the observation about the lack of specific examples is correct).
This is a very vague statement, and contradicts your original claim. The way objects and branch references was set up by git-new-workdir was completely safe for git-gc not to lose other workdir's data. Other than that, keeping copies on another computer is the only way to reliably protect against data loss in any VCS system.
I respectfully disagree. As you can see at [0], quote, "as [the GDPR] applies to all companies processing the personal data of data subjects residing in the Union, regardless of the company’s location [...] Non-Eu businesses processing the data of EU citizens will also have to appoint a representative in the EU."

edit: This means it applies to EU citizens regardless of where the processor is located and to non-EU citizens if they are currently in the EU

Speaking of Germany, the migrants there were not kept in dehumanising conditions, were offered all the advantages (language courses, food, shelter, pocket money!), and what is the result? Hundreds of thousands who disappeared underground, are not documented, nobody knows where they are and what their intentions are. Of course they are not all "Daesh sleeper agents" or whatever, but it's still a huge loss of control for the country and doesn't improve the security situation.
