GDPR has been in "preview mode" for two years but it is currently the law in many countries. It will start being enforced in May so you already have had two years to fix the issue if I read you correctly.
I'd expect it to be either public domain or uncopyrightable.

Hopefully that's the case.
It's not even about washing/feeding yourself. I simply don't want to have to work all my life. I'd like to spend my days reading, watching movies, traveling, eating out, etc.

To your question though, I find that as I get older life is increasingly more interesting. I suspect that will be the case regardless of whether I'm hobbled by my body.

Also, if I have grandchildren I can imagine wanting to hang around to see them grow up.
> In the inter-war period the United States passed massive tariffs on foreign goods (and they had substantial ones before that too).

Yup, and that's credited with deepening and lengthening the Great Depression, not making America's economy better.

> much more, not less, government intervention in the economy

All Roosevelt's New Deal interventions failed to get the country out of the GD. What did was a massive influx of money from foreign governments buying arms.

All price controls did was produce a black market.

If planned economies worked, the USSR economy would have been a powerhouse, not a basket case propped up by shipments of grain from Kansas to keep starvation away.

Want a modern example of an unplanned, unregulated free market industry? The software business. It's characterized by incredible innovation, prices dropping to $0, the biggest companies in the world, and a constant stream of billionaires being minted.
That's alright, the competitors are even worse. I used to use Skype on Linux. They stopped development on the Linux client a decade ago, but it kept working just fine. And then they released a new client and forced everyone to upgrade. The new client is so bad in terms of sound quality that I've been forced to switch to Hangouts.

That's an interesting perspective. Sounds like your economic dogma is having a tunnel vision effect on this issue.

This period was characterized by imperialism, mercantilist trade policy, and gross violations of Chinese sovereignty. "Removal of force" from trade wasn't a factor at all -- the other Western powers (France, Germany, US, and later Japan) weren't allowed to trade in the British extraterritorial zones. Britain didn't want "free trade", to the contrary, they wanted exclusivity.
The login dialog for the Itch.io desktop client is magically excluded from the accessible canvas on my OS X instance.
I'd argue that human bias is actually a source of truth. "higher" levels of truth are often codified in a way very similar to logical constructs. Human knowledge is biased but is flexible and adaptable. Codified law is fairer and has less bias but can only deal with exact situations.

I wonder if black box AI internally has an isomorphism to what is basically a gigantic codification of logic and the training process just discovers then or if it's fundamentally something very different.
If you think that "Quarantine" is not dependent on the type of the threat, then I don't see how you can be so certain of the optimal policy.

Social media is yet another aspect of the atomization of the individual.

We are engaged in a great un-meaningfying of human interaction driven by a philosophication of empirically established human propensities. We are what we do, and the value of what we do is eatablished by market forces.

You are your friends and likes. You are your upvotes and replies. You are your retweets and followers. These are truths when you are too young to establish your own moral footing. And we pulled the rug out from under them; religion is out, atheism is uncool (they can tell), spiritual self discovery is illegal(usually involves drugs) and The Internet, well, thats where they get depressed, innit?

We are ill equipped for the marketisation of identity.
Wasn’t the cause of the “unintended acceleration issue” hardware and driver error related rather than software related? That’s what I’ve read in one book about Toyota management (the Toyota Way) and also a Wikipedia entry on the topic says:

> Toyota also claimed that no defects existed and that the electronic control systems within the vehicles were unable to fail in a way that would result in an acceleration surge. More investigations were made but were unsuccessful in finding any defect until April 2008, when it was discovered that the driver side trim on a 2004 Toyota Sienna could come loose and prevent the accelerator pedal from returning to its fully closed position.[4]

Based on those two sources it seems the issue was hardware related, and Toyota may have tried papering over the matt issue. The faulty matt design issue doesn’t support your claim of shoddy software practices and hiring underpaid junior developers. That may still be the case but it appears not to have caused the SA issue.
Ive been saying this since 2007 when all my friends complained that I dont have a facebook account ;)
A side effect is that I've found myself having a harder time to pick up the phone. In person I am no different than when I was using less screen time, but the habit of calling has deteriorated and now I have to be obedient. Every day there is a set period of time where I make calls.

You are not a real developer if you code on a Mac. You are a trainee coding on a machine with training wheels. I will never take any programmer seriously if they whip out a macbook.

The newsletter is actually triggered by heading to close button detection (there are scripts that detect fast movement towards the top of the page and display "wait a moment" popups), which I agree is one of the worst things that happen to the Web these days.

And that fancy transition (which I wouldn't mind actually) is even broken on Firefox - it ends sliding both in and out, and only then the page actually switches.
Eric Schmidt also thinks that the rich should determine human culture because they're somehow superior to the rest of the human race. He also thinks that if you haven't done anything wrong you have nothing to hide (yet he won't post his masturbation fantasies to twitter for unstated reasons that we can only assume are due to him having done something very wrong). He's full of bad ideas, and I can't imagine why anyone would listen to anything he has to say.
This happened right about the time that Google abandoned the desktop as its primary target and started focusing entirely on mobile. Things just haven't been the same.
Errr, I actually have to spend 5 minutes googling how to install make on Windows, then getting mingw and hating myself. So no, no it's really not that simple in general.
y, going from Laravel 4.2 to 5.0 can take some work but the upgrades since then have been quick and painless.

I came from Rails to Laravel. It has a similar feel and in some ways is more fun to work with.

Part of that is the great community and lots of make your life easier features. Especially Laravel Forge and Envoyer. Forge makes spinning up servers easy and secure and deployments a breeze. Envoyer adds zero down time deployments.

These are both paid SaaS but they fund the development of the framework and provide way more value than the monthly cost.

Laracasts is also great for getting up to speed with Laravel.
Do you live in america? Do you plan to live 15-20 years past retirement? You are already at 50k/year with a million dollars, which is an amount of money that is ok in the present if you are young, but with inflation it will be a lot less.

Are you aware of how much elderly healthcare and care in general costs?

The average cost of a private room in a elderly care facility in the present is about 90k/year.

My standards are about not dying because I can't afford to pay for my prescriptions.

> Focusing on big fines makes for great headlines, but thinking that GDPR is about crippling financial punishment misses the point. And that concerns me.

Translation: the fact that the fine structure and breadth of covered activities is considered rather extreme, even by the general public, is not part of our desired narrative. We aren't saying that some businesses can't be totally destroyed by just one of these fines, we're just "concerned" that people see that as somewhat pivotal.

And who on Earth is she to think that her concern is a rebuttal? The Commissioner can be concerned about anything she likes, it doesn't justify any particular action.

As a back-end developer, I started off coding ~15 years ago, and hated the entire experience back then. Nowadays, as I look at the tools, frameworks and language enhancements, I'm so glad to be coding in 2018, and not in 2004. The things I can easily accomplish now, far exceed anything I could have done back then.

I've heard so many front-end developers/designers say the opposite about their field though, and I wonder why that is. If the newer tools/frameworks are just adding more complexity, or reinventing the wheel, couldn't you just choose not to use them? I suppose some might reply that you're forced to use these new tools/frameworks, because of dependencies on other tools/frameworks that you actually care about. But if that's really the case, and if this frustration is widespread enough, wouldn't people/companies have invested time and effort into supporting the classic-but-equally-good tooling?

As someone watching from the outside, I can't imagine a world where an entire industry is running in circles, creating churn devoid of positive value. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I suspect that many of the complainers are suffering from rose-colored glasses. As a heavy web-user, I've noticed that the functionality and aesthetics of websites have improved dramatically in the past 1-2 decades. The websites I see from the 90s and early 2000s, look like a joke today. I suspect that this improvement is only made possible by the new tooling and frameworks that exist today. That they are indeed more complex, but they still unlock new potential that would be too hard to achieve otherwise. That anyone who tries to use ancient tooling from 10-20 years ago, would find themselves unable to provide an equally good mass-market UX. If this is not the case, I invite someone to prove me wrong.
Stopping the NPR response at that point is far more misleading than their use of "extended family." If there's a strict cap on the number of visas on offer, bringing in 100 siblings is basically the same as 100 siblings or cousins.
Fasting for Three Days Can Regenerate Entire Immune System, Study Finds
I wrote up some notes and summaries of this book several years ago when I read it for anyone without the time: http://peterc.org/pedia/seneca-shortness-of-life/ (though I do recommend reading the book, it is not very long!)
No, I'm the author. I confirmed with you that we didn't track any your connections/database information (you can find it out in our privacy: https://tableplus.io/privacy)

We use Fabric to track crash and A/B testing and it's anonymous data, the data tracking clicks on a button etc.. and not related to your database content.

You can use some network tracking to track TablePlus traffic to verify it by yourself.

TablePlus server side is using for our website and licensing.
Instant messaging is an example of something that used to work, and now doesn't. It used to be that everyone was basically on AIM, which functioned as an open enough network. Status information worked pretty well - you could fairly easily tell if someone was online, and so people could respond.

And now - we have dozens of clients, such that there's no way of knowing which subset your contacts use. With the prevalence of phones, it's hard to tell if someone is available or not, so you just send messages in the ether, and get surprised if anyone responds.

And the worst part is, there's no obvious fix, since any new system will just add to the fragmentation.
That'd be fine, especially considering that someone else could write their own GUI front-ends for your utilities.
Atacama will make it's operators very rich, however it is not practical for them to raise extraction rate to where they could serve the entire market. So, in addition to them, a lot of rock-based supply needs to be developed.
>Why not pay AI-specialist pay to get the best people into healthcare, new material research, etc?

Because that's expensive, and companies are still structured in a manner built and optimized for repetitive manufacturing. They are not built to, and as a result can not, value things like knowledge and skill. Everything from why they have offices, to how those offices are built, to how the organizations are structured is anathema to having a person or persons with valuable domain knowledge as a key component. Read essentially any book on business management written since 1980 up to today. Every single one of them will advise managers to highly prioritize the dispensability of employees and inherently emphasizes accounting ('business') oriented roles over technical ones.

Remember, IT is a cost center. Anything spent on it, or those with skills in it, is pure loss that offers no value. You're a healthcare company, not an IT company, and IT people don't even see patients.
One of the best things about the internet is the potential for searchable comments like these 20+ years from now. I look forward to seeing how the same things get repeated over and over and over at the onset of each new technology.
But there's so much about Windows that the average end user doesn't know - just like there's so much about the Bible that the average American doesn't know. If you want to learn about operating systems, NT is genuinely worth taking a deep look at, for both the successful and unsuccessful things about it, and "I've been using MS Word my whole life" isn't a reason not to look at NT. And even if you just want to work at the operational level, running a Windows environment with AD / Group Policy / etc. is so different from maintaining your personal Windows laptop
/Relatable/ is a good word for the democrats to consider in candidates for 2020. Trump and Bernie are certainly coastal, but there's nothing elite about them.

And I didn't say "elite". I said ELITISTS, which are electoral kryptonite.

Seems to me that the (second?) best thing that ever happened to him is that Samuel Nadler took him on as a client and watched out for his interests.
I agree. This feels to me to be more like inducing paranoia to push some hidden agenda. The "open" design is a feature, not a bug, and why mobile apps and their isolated design only encourage silo'd data and horribly wasteful workarounds (upload something from one app into some distant third-party cloud service, and download it again for another app to access it... provided those two apps' developers have explicitly decided to provide such a feature.)

Every binary I run could delete all my data or steal my passwords or whatever else. That's not something to be afraid of --- it's something to cherish and be proud of[1], and it's why you don't run anything you don't trust. This "free-for-all" sharing and access encourages the sort of ad-hoc and unpremeditated interactions which are beneficial to the software ecosystem as a whole.

I usually have a magnifier, color identifier, and clipboard-listening-translator running. None of those would be easily implementable or may not even exist, had computers started out as locked-down systems from the beginning.

It sure read like that to me, but given the international nature of this forum, I'll take you at your word. Nor do I disagree with you about your assessment of your experience.

But your experience and your requirements differ from mine, and in a professional capacity I could never recommend Nix for an organization.
Every programming language has its pros and cons. And many of them overlap.

A product’s success has nothing to do with which language or framework you choose. They are there to help you develop something that works as per your needs.

You mentioned your product deals with chat messaging. So I would suggest using something like NodeJS + SQL for the backend. NodeJS for its ability to handle high volume of events. SQL for managing the chat history of each person in a relational way.

My two cents worth :)
If I can ask. What flexibility are you lok8ng for that the PI cluster doesn’t have. I boot mine using PXE and it runs most everything imaginable in the modern linux stack. Apache, docker, Kubernetes...
And those 2 are largely interchangeable because they use the same repository (barring unusual setups)
That's because it's spefically optimized for my needs: writing Reflex apps. It's what I do for a living.

Everyone has different priorities. I know some users who started using Haskell at all with reflex-platform despite the difficulty because it scratched exactly their itch.
Right, any software that's hooked up to the internet needs to be updated over time to stay secure, therefore needing to pay for a service or having it go insecure in 2 years.
"Governmen should get involved with whether or not YouTube autoplays the next video?"

This is reductive. The government should be involved in preventing practices that harm consumers. Some consumers would find that they can't help themselves from watching endless videos. And no, they should not be involved in whether it autoplays. They should be involved in allowing OPTIONS deciding whether it autoplays. This was just an example. Why should the government not help consumers who feel harmed in a way that would not impact others just because you wouldn't find a use for it?

"Out of curiosity, what do you think government should NOT be involved in?"

This is also a reductive. I have only named one area the government should be involved in. I am not a statist. There is a clear harm caused by certain practices which exploit the behavioural instincts of humans. I think there is enough harm to warrant government involvement to protect consumers.

They couldn't and didn't pay for most of those weapons.
These are legal terms, certain people are defined as your immediate family for these forms and you can't extend it without changing law.
So how does your browser know that a certain range of ip addresses should be trusted?
It’s really hard to build a billion dollar platform business from just staying out of the way, so apps layer on the complexity.

Plus there’s always the VC around the corner hoping to fund the next Whatsapp, so we get a proliferation of me too-apps.
Golly gee, I can barely hear you all the way up there on your pedestal.

I used linux for a good long while. Started with Ubuntu, then on to Mint, then Arch as I became more of a "power user". But you know what? Sometimes I don't want to put in manual effort to get things to work, even if that means I lose some customization. Over my years with linux, I've had driver issues with displays, with the network manager, with mounting remote drives... Basically any interaction with the hardware was a solid kick in the groin. Since switching to a Macbook, everything has been smooth sailing.

And especially nowadays with homebrew and docker, all the tools I need are available on a Mac, and it's a more integrated experience, and IMHO it looks better. But if you like linux and it works for you, that's also fine by me. To each their own.
Backups also...
If your standard for “poorly socialized” is hikikomori and “incels” then you’re worrying about such a minute minority that it isn’t worth addressing. I would also call both of those groups much more than poorly socialized; they’re on a spectrum from disturbed, to profoundly mentally ill.
This is a matter of adhering to a sound engineering principle, and the approach in question has not been generally considered acceptable. To explain why, one of the ideas behind header files was that they could be freely reused in more than one part of a project; therefore, for example, any executable code appearing in a header file might end up existing in multiple copies throughout the executable (perhaps, depending on the linker).
Let's assume that evaluating a program takes one microsecond and one atom, and that we can parallelize the search across every atom in the observable universe. If the AGI program is 500 bits long, it will take about 10^57 years to find by brute-force search.

There's a difference between ideas for which there is not enough compute right now and ideas that are computationally intractable according to our knowledge of the physical universe.

Imagine still actively using several perfectly good apps that were last updated 10 or 20 years ago?

I do. I don't know exactly what my oldest binary is, but it's probably from the 80s (some text processing utilities), and I still actively use apps I wrote myself over a decade ago. Of course, I use Windows which has historically been far better at backwards compatibility than Mac OS.
Less automation may help reduce his complexity, but will lead to more instances of breaking things do to mistakes due to manually performed steps. In general, I agree with part of your point - only use what you need. But make sure you are using the things you should.
I would expect there is an enormous set of random topologies that could be trained to balance a pole. Indeed, part of the elegant 'magic' of neural nets is that the topology is fairly irrelevant... the number of layers, the number of nodes, the manner in which they are connected... pretty much any configuration can get you into a mid 90% accuracy on MNIST (and emulating a basic PID algorithm is simpler than MNIST). Of course, I'm referring to basic tasks; clearly topologies matter a great deal with more sophisticated things.
It's not just about CNC machines. All automated machines have to have E-Stops and so on.
Mostly operators open door because something is mixed um inside. (To many bottles, broken bottles, broken paper, broken sensor, wathever ..

As long as they juxtapose "human" with "resource" the role of HR is going to be problematic at best. Everyone else treats us as resources already. If you help employees as humans then you need to hire people who have nothing to do with the "resource" part. Some companies have this, and it's never anything to do with HR. It's life coaches, educational programs, employee assistance programs, hotlines of various sorts, quasi-official employee groups, etc. HR is OK when it's hiring and benefits, downright evil when it's policy police and executive ass-covering. I'd rather deal with actual police and lawyers than people who smile and pretend to be anything else.

Right, yeah, browsers are not guaranteeing any security on the local network.

If self-signed is not an option, then I think an internet connection and domain name are required. (Which seems to me is totally fine. That's the whole point of IoT)
