pure hysteria

given they're barely able to deport a couple of hundred failed asylum seekers, millions of EU citizens (many of whom aren't registered or on any sort of database) is not simply not possible
> the UK retains some control of immigration w.r.t EU citizens (some of which they chose not to enforce and it also allows UK citizens to avail of freedom of movement as well) and full control of the immigration of non-EU citizens, so your assertion is false

As you probably know the control the UK does have over EU citizens is extremely extremely limit. They don't call it "open borders" for no reason believe it or not.

> Brain drain is debatable, there was never a position for a lot of them in the 1st place (and they might just go somewhere else)

Yeah, well who cares about developing countries as long as the west benefits right? Perhaps we should be focusing on giving them positions in their own countries rather than requiring them to move from their families, friends and culture just for a better life?

But morals never play a role in this. It's all about the nations gross-GDP isn't it?
What I find strange is, there isn't any evidence for long term association of an ad with the content of the video. If you see a coca cola commercial before an ISIS beheading video, do you really think "Huh, coca cola is sponsoring ISIS now"? It is a ridiculous jump to leap to. The research also doesn't back it up, there seems to be a short term association, but definitely nothing long term.

The problem is YouTube doesn't want to operate at a loss, they are trying to get more advertisers to the platform so they can make more money. To bring more advertisers to the platform, they are attempting to get advertisers to pick and choose what kind of content their ads show around. Instead of just allowing them to target the user and whatever demographics/interests they may have based on their viewing history.

I find it really strange for a company hemorrhaging money to actively be showing fewer ads, considering they make money on those ads as well.

The users causing a fuss were simply leverage for the ad companies to remind YouTube who is boss. For some reason YouTube thinks they don't have any kind of leverage of their own. Of course they aren't profitable, but they also have a massive user base. It seems like a strategic mistake to me.

They are pushing content creators off the platform, which will push down their user count and push down the amount of people they can advertise to. I'm not a business or marketing guy, but I would have simply said "We try to remove videos that violate our TOS as quickly as possible, all other videos the creators want to make money from, we show ads on. Our ads are targeted to users, not based on the specific video they happen to be watching."
I’d largely leave that to the courts: judges assess degrees of intention and responsibility all the time and generally do a good job with the flexibility.

Simply knowing that you can be sued and no TOS can prevent that would be a huge improvement. It’d tell everyone that they need to think seriously about security & privacy, and the costs would push many companies to question whether they should be storing as much data as they possibly can.

My take: The evidence right now is that the SNP are all in favour of a second independence referendum, but that Scottish people in general are not. Scotland's caught between a rock and a hard place. It wants to be in the EU but the majority of its trade is with England.

Charlie Stross famously gave up on his Rule 34 series of novels because he was having trouble predicting where Scotland would be in ten years. It's still not obvious and is probably going to be governed by future events.
The EU requires a right to work and a right to join family. Someone migrating from Poland by themselves without a job is not technically doing so under freedom of movement and the UK is not obliged to let them be a resident.

The treaties do contain restriction mechanisms which the UK didn't use:

It's sad to see this text in gray, but given that the audience here contains a disproportionate percentage of entrepreneurs, I understand why it is. Your point about crypto technology empowering decentralized trust systems to "organize people" is a valid one, and I hope to see more of it myself.

The counterpoint would be that there is a huge amount of 'real life' happening within the confines of the system as you describe it, and many people are not so negatively affected as you might think.

Underneath it all, yeah, a great many aspects of how we do things are arbitrary, horrifically inefficient kludges with overly externalized costs that would be replaced immediately on a more level playing field... but solving the problem of 'greed at the top' is possibly the biggest and most difficult challenge we face as a species, and I don't think it makes you a bad person to decide you're not up for spending too much of your brief existence fighting against it.

I think that's being a little extreme. I would guess that a CSO is typically somebody who has the experience, but has worked their way up. It is natural that as you progress in leadership in a company you become less knowledgeable about the details. A good executive is somebody who can hire the right people and listen to them. Somebody who has to know everything themselves is actually dangerous in my opinion - they are ignorant of what they don't know, could be unwilling to take advice, and may be inflexible about new ideas.

To clarify, I am not talking about a CSO at a 100 person startup. I am talking about somebody like the CSO of equifax or Boeing which should have hundreds of people reporting to them. They cannot possible know the specifics of everything they secure.

That was a nice read. I like these pieces about the historical context of financial instruments.

> Michael Lewis details one such practice in his book Flash Boys, where market makers use superior networking technology to change the market price of a security after a customer sees it and places an order, forcing them to trade at an inferior price.

This is a potentially misleading description of HFT algorithms. HFTs cannot see a customer’s order before it executes on an exchange. They cannot “jump in front of” an atomic order. HFTs only have insight like this at the inter-exchange level, i.e. in latency arbitrage. But by default a customer’s order won’t be routed to multiple exchanges unless there is insufficient liquidity to complete the order on the first exchange (which, if that’s routine, means you’re likely an institutional customer). Alternatively, if they submit several orders, HFTs will (logically) adjust their prices in response to the new order book activity, which would result in price slippage for the customer.

Because when said innovation takes the form of defrauding or otherwise harming the population (reminder that people are involuntarily tracked by credit agencies and all manner of other actors), that "innovation" ought to be stifled.

Of course I would prefer legislative action so that the regulatory environment doesn't change at the whim of the executive, but when basic harm prevention seems to be a partisan issue, I see little chance of legislative action being successful.

I would happily pay for a social network. My dream is EU breaking up Facebook and forcing them to become a federated service where many service providers can compete. Facebook would work the same way it does now but I would be able to choose, and pay, my own Facebook-protocol service provider. Just like we do with phone service.

Because the huge majority of my friends would not consider paying for a social network.

Many have noticed that Facebook provides a lot less value than it used to. They no longer use it to stay in touch with friends but rather to share random news/opinion articles. It would be hard to convince them that what's ruining Facebook is ads and that if they would pay those problems would go away.
Are you saying no one will have to build houses? No one will need to build roads? No one to drive the trucks? No janitors or waiters/waitresses? Arguably these things just fuel the cycles of consumption. They are actually just as societally impactful as say Elon Musk. Without these things society breaks down. You may not feel like you are contributing as much as you can, but if you look at it you might be contributing more than you think. I feel that way sometimes, but I know insurance is necessary for society and without it who knows what would happen.

DevOps Success Stories Across the Industry
This is an extraordinary claim that requires substantiation. Without any source, that claim sounds like the sort of lie James O'Keefe would perpetuate.
We're quite lucky that neural nets are overkill for procedural music generation.

By that I mean, we have huge masses of music theory, applied across genres and focusing on differences between genres, in terms of heuristics for both analysis & composition, and because of a tradition of procedural generation of music that goes back a couple centuries, a lot of it is fairly easy to translate into computer programs. (For instance, end-to-end serialist composition is easier for computers than it is for people, while canons and other mechanisms for creating permutations of melodies are equally straightforward.)

This doesn't translate into a straightforward method for putting in two wav files and producing a third with transferred style, but it does mean that a sufficiently motivated person can write something that translates notes between two known genres with greater ease than they would with images.

(Text is somewhere in the middle. I've worked on a couple attempts at 'style transfer' for text -- mostly using word2vec.)

I hate the idea of regulatory agencies fining anyone for anything. Why should the agency/government get revenue from someone's failure?

As a Remainer who voted Yes in the Scottish Indyref, I strongly agree. What it seems to me happened is that Cameron drew exactly the wrong lesson from the Indyref. He thought Project Fear worked there, despite the vote moving from strong No to close No over the course of the campaign. So he replicated the strategy. What he hadn't realised was how corrosive a demoralisation-based strategy that relied on the collusion of the three main supposedly opposed parties was.

Ongoing, Brexit is being run entirely in essay-crisis mode. Nothing will happen until the last minute. The process will run on the EU timetable with the EU's preferred outcomes unless and until the UK government collapses and is unable to send anyone. Nobody from the UK side is proposing serious, workable options.
That's a joke. It would take them a lot more to fix than 400k. Just the pentests + risk assessments would cost more and they would also need to educate their personnel (developers, testers, DevOps, managers), and implement new policies and procedures, SDLC etc. The price of all of that would be well over a million.

400k is not even a slap on the wrist. I'm disappointed.

2.) Slapping myself over this one(!), but the family, model, and stepping ID's need to be changed to hex.

It already is available on both the iPhone and Android through Siri/Google Assistant. Just ask them "What song is this?"

If Earth reached that kind of point, I could certainly see people attempting to colonize other planets, to mine asteroids and all of the labor associated with that. I really think a lot of this automation eliminating labor talk way early. There was similar talk a century ago.
I have the Nexus 2 with this feature, and it works remarkably well. No noticeable power drain, and it identifies a lot of songs that I never would have thought to ask about, like TV show intros and such. It's handy that if I ever wonder what a song that's playing is, I can pull out my phone and it's usually already there instead of having to unlock it, ask it what's playing, and wait a bit, if the internet is even working there. Pretty cool that they can pull this off with no network communication.

And the required context, for those coming across this: Aaron was under investigation for downloading an archive of academic articles from within MIT (because they'd otherwise cost a lot), presumably to make them available outside free of large, much like Sci-Hub does nowadays.

He committed suicide during the investigation, and it's supposedly not unlikely to be related to the pressure the investigation and trumped-up charges brought him. And then there's those that surmise he was murdered, of course.
