That seems like a fairly naive interpretation of the likely outcomes. GDPR has made well groomed/well collected personal data more valuable not less. When something is valuable but expensive to generate or operate with, that doesn't kill industries it drives them to consolidation.

If I were to take a stab at speculating what would happen it would go something like this. Facebook/Google just got a gift wrapped stick to beat both publishers and advertisers over the head with. The data they already collect is already very well groomed, they have tons of resources and savvy and they have enough explicit touch points with users that they can enable the GDPR requirements at the lowest costs and drive business to their platforms in droves, increasing network effects. Expect to see publishers requiring google/facebook logins to see content in the near future.

Second, the big publishers, the ones with content that people really want to see (sports) will be able to get over the high bar of consent fairly easily. They'll be able to leverage that with their other content. Some savvy big publisher is going to figure out how to leverage that into a publisher network. Also, consolidation of the publishers will happen again decreasing the costs to handle this asset, while increasing network effects.

There is room in that new world for some big adtech teams who are savvy enough and have resources enough to collect the data, simply because advertisers are unlikely to want to have to deal with further empowered Facebook/Google/Publisher networks, and at the end of the day advertisers are the ones funding this whole thing. But those adtech teams are going to get better at collecting data, not worse, in order to be viable.

So I'd predict less fragmentation of your personal data. It will be in the hands of less people, but the people that do have it, will have more of it, will be more savvy about its use and value, and will be more powerful than they were before.

So, again, I think you'll see the big guys get bigger and have more data about more people. I think small players and innovative upstarts will be hurt, both in the adtech space (which we may all feel fine losing out on) but also in the content generation space (which troubles me at least).

Personally, I'm not sure where I land on this. Generally speaking, I think anything that gives google more insight into my life is a bad thing and I think GDPR is going to be a disaster when it comes to privacy around what those big companies have on me, but I can see it going the other way. Maybe all that happens is that people move to content based advertising networks and the listicle farms go away. If so it will be a win, but I wouldn't bet on that outcome.

As someone who has done a decent amount of fishing. I honestly can't say I've ever seen a fish give me any kinds of pain queues or looks besides a blank stare. A lot of the time, even when you are trying to get a hook out that they swallowed, they don't writhe, or move, but at seemingly random times, that are probably times when they sense they have a good chance of wriggling free of my grip.

I've also done a lot of hunting. I would say that birds and deer have been much more sympathetic and you are much more aware of the affect you are having on them. I've definitely seen deer wounded, afraid, and in pain. As a hunter that's one of the most disappointing things to happen and it makes you feel like a failure.
> The US also tends to overuse stop signs when a yield (give way) sign would suffice. That is, if there is sufficient visibility of approaching traffic, coming to a complete stop is not necessary to safely yield to any conflicting traffic.

From TFA there already is a give-way sign - drivers who should be yielding think they have good visibility, blast through the intersection at full speed, and kill somebody. The article suggests this could be due to the CBRD phenomenon.

Even if people treated the stop sign as a rolling stop sign, slowing down seems like it would help, at least WRT drivers not seeing people due to CBRD.

Of course there are fancier (more expensive) engineering solutions too.

> If the teachers never give a single 20/20, that just means there is grade deflation, right? Effectively, 18/20 or 19/20 becomes the "perfect score," since it's the highest possible to obtain.

English children's stories were also quite dark before the industrial revolution. In fact, I have read, that there wasn't much of a distinction between the appropriate subject matter for children and adults.

After the industrial revolution, with nuclear families moving to cities, and education suddenly becoming more important and children being moved out of the labor force, the idea of "childhood" as a uniquely innocent period was invented.

A lot of the sanitized fairy tales we read have very dark origins.

TI's DLP technology, used in 85% of digital cinema displays, utilizes a matrix of tiny articulated mirrors, one for each pixel. Each of these mirrors has two controllable positions (for example +17 degrees and -17 degrees). A separate light source (LED, laser, etc.) shines on the matrix, and the mirrors within the matrix at one of the orientations reflect light at the target. These devices have been used in projection systems since 1997. See [1] and [2].

The advantage in automotive applications is that the light can be bright enough for automotive applications while allowing the illuminated area to be controlled through software. Illumination levels and regions can be modulated in response to the car's speed, steering, location, recognition of oncoming cars, etc. [3]

Pulling right up to the curb is the correct way to prepare for a right turn in a car, while sharing the road with bicycles, as taught in driver's ed here in Denmark.

And yes, obviously you check your mirrors and do a good shoulder check, that goes without saying.

But you ALSO pull to the curb after checking mirrors+over your shoulder, to claim the lane while preparing for your turn. You pull in either in front of or behind the cyclists, because the dangerous situations happen when you're side by side.

If there's a bike lane, you obviously don't pull across that, this only applies for streets without bike lanes.

It'll make more sense once sharding is in production.

What makes more sense right now, for many games, is to put most of the state changes off-chain. If players are taking turns, they can sign the state changes as they go, and submit the final couple moves to the blockchain. Add in another trick and you can even make fair random numbers: http://www.blunderingcode.com/gamble-channels-fast-verifiabl...

This is how FunFair works; there's an on-chain transaction to deposit, another to close out and withdraw, and in between you can gamble all day without waiting for blocks or issuing transactions to the blockchain.

The types of robots used in Japan are very diverse.

Paro is a seal "stuffed animal robot" with minimal sensing and actuation, but it's very cute nonetheless (if you ever visit Tokyo, go to Miraikan in Odaiba, you can touch it there). Pepper (made by a French subsidiary of SoftBank) is a humanoid shaped robot on a wheel base that is mostly good for voice/gesture communication.

The article is about a guy who played a ridiculous amount of a game that most people wouldn't. And that is what the commenter (not me) considered a weird hobby. Playing the same game over and over. And I thought that was quite simple to see and your reply was a nifty indication that there is not much of a difference between playing 10k hours of one repetitive game or playing 10 hours in 1k different games.

I liked that thought.
Not quite the same - I remember using GL display lists, but once you'd compiled one it was set in stone. There was no way to mostly reuse it but with a few changes here and there.
Eh, it's not quite the same as a social network. Indexing a webpage doesn't require any action on the publisher's part (even though in practice, it's astonishing the hoops publishers jump through for SEO). If that were the case, you would be right, and there would not be any room for niche search engines like DuckDuckGo.

Like I said in other comments - my gripe is not with advertising. My gripe is with CPM. The trend of optimizing for CPM has created a perverse incentive structure that harms the web ecosystem in many ways, and IMO, only benefits Google.

They will certainly be more complex in the sense that software will control the areas in the drivers view to be illuminated, but headlight assemblies that respond to steering position and car pitch angle are already expensive and burdened with electromechanical mechanisms to direct the light. They make a large difference in safety though.

TI DLP will allow this to happen without all of the electromechanical mechanisms. The DLP technology has been around for 20 years.

It seems the cyclists are blowing through the intersection as well. To me the problem is simply that it's an uncontrolled intersection where nobody is required to stop. Why blame the driver so much?
Cryptokitties is possible because of ERC 721, which allows for unique tokens to represent individual assets (having an indivisible kitty with its own dna). As far as I'm aware, NEO doesn't yet provide the ability to create individualized tokens that can be stored on the blockchain in a similar way.

> TI DLP will allow this to happen without all of the electromechanical mechanisms.

Do we not count a DLP as an electromechanical device?
I got a demo of this technology close to about 10 years ago from TI. Their "killer app" in the lab was a pairing of the DLP with their DSPs to track rain while driving and reduce illumination of rain drops such that glare to the driver was substantially reduced. It was in a lab, but it worked surprisingly well.

Another thing that many people don't realize is that TI makes a huge number of automotive parts currently with extremely tight reliability controls in place for customers like Toyota, as well as established supply chains from silicon to road via companies like Temic automotive.

Personally, I hope TI continues to develop DLP into new markets. The tech is really cool, their miniaturized projectors using laser sources for embedding into smartphones is another demo I saw that would be really interesting if it ever hits market.

It's very hard to compare suicide rates across different countries.

That's because they don't have common definitions of what a suicide is (is it something a coronor has ruled on? Or is it something that's counted by statisticians from death certificate coding?); and because their definitions change over time.
Well, one reason for that amount of signage is that there are multiple roads from the right and some of those signs only extend to the next junction. There's simply no way to have fewer of those signs. Same for the pedestrian crossings.

Some of the signs are only relevant to pedestrians and cyclists, or motorists looking for a place to park, so it's not that bad.
