There are internationally signed agreements about punishing the companies and persons breaking other country laws. The USA has signed a lot of them with EU (for example) and it is in mutual interest to use them for both parties. Does it work? Decide for yourself:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/eu-announces-record-27-...

And GDPR is not about the laws. It is about crooked people breaking basic human rights for their profit, every normal person should be glad that he has a straight (well almost :) ) directions how to respect and show respect for his customers. The attitude of "you cant force me" is fundamentally wrong.

One more thing, as a non european cityzen, I would be carefully monitor what the sites are doing with basic human rights (as now it will become evident) and protect myself from those who show their disrespect by not using their sites, services etc. Whole world will profit from this legislation and you can bet a lot of other countries will adopt it.

The visualization of "crawlability" is great, the graphs were intuitive to see how some methods are more effective than others in reducing long sequential branches of pages.

After finishing the article, I had a feeling that none of the pagination methods were "perfect" with a good balance of crawlability and user-friendliness. It made me think, for sites with a large number of pages, there needs to be more than just paginataion for navigating them - for example, navigating/sorting by categories would probably produce a different graph, closer to the ideal level of branches and depths.
TFA mentions Google's Caja and Secure EcmaScript (SES). Does anybody know if that's still in development or under consideration by ECMA or others?
Sure, it's a limitation. But working around limitations or using them as a core element is a standard thing during game design.

So perhaps you have a game where you play for several hours or even days and only then eventually you want to save your progress on the blockchain for the world to see. Just an example.

As seen with CryptoKitties the high transaction cost is a crippling factor right now, on the other hand the game wouldn't even be possible in its current trustless design without the blockchain.

I don't think we are collecting any data that is covered by the GDRP as personal information is not of any use to us. I am more just outraged by the EU applying its laws on us like this.

As for not doing any business with EU citizens this is impossible to comply with even if it was an option as there is no way of knowing if a person is an EU citizen or not.

There are plenty of good, non CFC refrigerant gases. You just need something that will liquify under moderate pressure. Propane/isobutane (aka camping gas) works, in fact it's a poor-mans gas to use to recharge old R-12 systems in cars that haven't been converted. Unfortunately it's quite flammable so leaks can be a concern.

Others, e.g. ammonia, work well but are toxic.

Good, stable, non-flammable, non-toxic refrigerants are not that common. Some automakers are trying using CO2 but that requires much higher pressures.

And that's what's happening. VP9 is royalty-free and AV1 will be royalty-free.

So it's good that both YouTube and Netflix support VP9 and AV1. It helps make royalty-free video formats commonplace on the web.

It's worth it for the bandwidth saving. VP9 significantly outperforms H.264.

High-level programmer here. Can someone explain please (already read the ELI5 in previous threads) how does the attacker extract the actual data from the processor L1 cache after tricking the branch prediction and have the CPU read from an unauthorized memory location?

I understood the "secret" data stays in the caches for a very short time until the branch prediction is rolled back, which makes this a timing attack but don't get how you actually read it.

I think this depends on your poverty culture. Growing up poor as an Asian immigrant, my experience has been "Extra money must go in the savings account, no luxuries EVER!", which is bad in its own way.
Game engines have never had the approach of recalculating everything every frame. Instead, aggressively reusing data and only changing what you need is the default approach (as it should be if you want to squeeze the most out of a CPU/GPU). Things like command lists, vertex and index buffers and textures are retained from frame to frame as much as possible.

Anything dynamic is usually handled on the GPU-side by taking a static input and applying simple (animated) parameters on top or, more commonly now, feeding back into the original buffer thereby updating it from the GPU calculations themselves.

The fact that web development has finally caught up to this approach is certainly welcome, but this is nothing new at all.
It sounds kind of like culling in game engines. Is it truly similar though? I'm not familiar how you can quickly test for an object being in view without doing an O(n) operation first and then retaining the list visible if the scene didn't change. Is there any way to do so?

This sounds plausible, but doesn't translate to reality. Look at the slowest content sites today: they're large, well-resourced news sites. Look at the small, independent individuals running their own personal site: many are very fast.

In reality, I'd say the biggest causes of website performance issues are (a) institutional bureaucracy - managers requiring their website to do something without regard for the overhead and (b) professional graphic designers defining UI features without technical knowledge of their implemention details. These are both, usually, corporate inefficiencies that have little effect on smaller maintainers.

This is a video chat hardware device, not an assistant. Facebook has become the de-facto messaging platform for most of the people I know, and Facebook's Video chat is typically what I suggest when I want to do a video conference with a non-technical user. Google totally blew their commanding network and technical lead by the repeated gchat -> hangouts -> duo migrations. No one I know is typically logged into hangouts anymore, and I've never even had a single contact sign up for duo or allo. Facetime is a non-starter for the 80% of the population that uses something other than a Mac and an iOS device. Facebook works everywhere, has all my contacts, and is something people know and use.
That works until you have (like the example) 20k titles. That's a performance hit to the (assuming) database to send all of that data at once, to the web server for having to parse all of those results and generate the HTML, to the client browser for having to parse all of that HTML and render it. It's possible, of course, that it's better for the user. It just doesn't happen to be that way very often, from my own anecdotal experience.

It's so that drivers would see the cyclists in junctions. If the bike path is separated until the junction, it's common that drivers don't pay attention at all to what happens on bike paths and turn right into crossing bike traffic. What makes things worse is that usually there are bushes, placards, bus stops and others between road and bike path, all of which block visibility and grab attention.

I disagree vehemently. While my experience on UK roads isn't that big, I have not seen any well designed bicycle road. Even the roads in the residential areas I've seen are quite bad; small, many cars parked on them (bad for visibility) and of considerable lacking quality. The bicycle roads in London are just lines painted on top of whatever surface the route encounters: curbs, manholes, poles in the middle of the road, pedestrian areas... Sudden and unmarked bicycle road stops where cyclists can't make out where to go. See also: https://ssj3gohan.tweakblogs.net/blog/11985/city-cycling-in-...

No, if anything, UK roads are specifically not designed to handle bicycle traffic. I wonder what makes you think so?

I cannot talk about China, but in Germany the classic children's book "Der Struwwelpeter" is to my knowledge still quite popular and often read to children:

(note that you should prefer to read this in German if you can, since lots of subtleties are lost in the English adaption).

Here is a movie adaption of this book (in German) - note that they added an epilogue at the end where all stories still come to a happy end:

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpcPz-GvHYI

In particular consider the third ("Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug"/"The dreadful story about Harriet and the matches"; 16:54 in the video) and the sixth ("Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher"/"The story of little thumb-a-suck"; 13:38 in the video) story to see why this might be somewhat different from what I consider as a typical US-American children's book from my non-US perspective. :-)
Yes, because at their scale and revenue, it makes sense to start pumping out your own research.

It is my understanding that Japan has a horrific birth rate and ratio of elderly to working-age adults, necessitating nursing care robots.

In many Western countries, the answer to these problems has been immigration. However, Japan is famously insular; a prospective immigrant cannot hope to naturalize as a Japanese citizen they way one could in, say, Canada or Germany.

So Japan is otherwise stuck with three options: let the elderly wither and die with little care or dignity, commit a vast portion of Japan’s relatively scarce workforce to take care of its elders, or robots.

Japan picks robots.

I think OP’s Hedonism is a perfectly reasonable way to stay happy.

Contrary to religious beliefs, having regular, consistent, and healthy sex is good for the mind and body.

Even your Kama Sutra is a guide to a virtuous and gracious living that discusses the nature of love, family life, and other aspects pertaining to pleasure-oriented faculties of human life.

Stoicism and Hedonism would have been my personal approach to life.

Regular and consistent sex is very healthy, important, and normal. Don’t forget about it while you go along your creative journey.
> Google can easily prove that they don't discriminate against white men by demonstrating that their workforce is mainly white men

White people are ~78% of the US population (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_United_State... ) and 72% of the California population (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_California ) but only 60% of the Google workforce (source: http://mashable.com/2014/05/28/google-employee-demographics ). Thus looking at the numbers it seems like there's room to argue "white" is an underrepresented category at Google.

>on the other hand the game wouldn't even be possible in its current trustless design without the blockchain.

Is it really a “trustless” game? If the company folds and the website with it, sure you still have your “CK Tokens” in your wallet, but without the centralized platform you can’t exactly access the picture of your kitty, you can’t breed, you can’t sire, you can’t gift...in other words you can’t even transfer the “CK token(s)” from one wallet to another without the platform. Therefore it seems there is a whole lot of trust the platform will continue to exist, not to mention the value of the kitties is constantly subject to change, not just on a free market basis, but based on the rules and prices which are unilaterally set by the centralized company.
I am not voluntarily subjecting myself to EU laws. If I wanted to do this I would establish a legal presence in the EU. I want nothing to do with the EU.

Perhaps the car sensors would have seen the child moving, he was hidden just before he ran out into the road but he probably wasn't hiding waiting to jump out.

So there's a chance that the cars sensors would spot him. Plus the sensors will be tied to the speed the car is doing so will always attentively watching in the range of where children can come from.

Further to this you can plug this kind of data into an autonomous vehicle and train it to avoid kids.

Humans will probably never have proper driving simulation testing like pilots do because it's too expensive.

So in these extreme events I'm confident that autonomous cars will be better prepared. Perhaps there will still be cases where the child still dies but it will be less.
Not sure about amazing (though the landing trick is pretty cool) but instructive.

For example, I had been told as a child that humans were the only animals that killed for sport. Yeah right. You don't have to spend decades with chimps to know that's a load of hogwash. And why kill straightaway when you can do a little light torturing first?
