Political stability encourages growth [1]. The form of government seems largely irrelevant [2]. China is moving from a stable if novel mode (small-group democratic dictatorship) to an unstable mode (single-leader dictatorship).

The EU is going to send over its army and force you to comply.

My understanding is the GDPR applies to residents of the EU, not just citizens, and it also applies when they are outside the EU. In practice this means it is impossible to determine if it applies unless you gather far more information than you really need from your users - “sorry we have to invade your privacy to protect your privacy”.
It is a bit too late, but I just stubled upon a mini-series documentary by Leonid Parfenov about Russian Jews. As Parfenov points out, Russian Empire and then Soviet Union and contemporary Russian went over periods of both antisemitism and judophilia. Those interested in the history of Russian Jews should really watch it.
No, it's aimed at business credit card authorization amounts. Many companies have policies like 'Tier 1 managers can authorize up to $100, Tier 2 managers can authorize up to $250, Tier 3 managers up to $5000' so you are trying to hit a number that makes the purchaser go 'I can get that purchase done without having to go too far up my chain of command' rather than 'I need to convince my grand-boss, who MIGHT know my name, to buy this software to solve my problem'

Well the test results came back. And it looks like people hate your idea. Thank goodness.

Be careful suggesting contemptible ideas in jest. Online, people will think you're serious. And in the HN bubble, you risk normalizing these dangerous ideas.
I agree but I think a similar question would be: how would this ever be enforced on a US based company/website where it had a EU visitor. I wrote this in another comment but I think outside of just blocking your site in the EU, they would need a further agreement (or I guess precedent) with the US government to actually enforce a penalty on the US company.
read zero to one by Peter theil. mostly garbage but in it he makes a good point: smbs are nearly impossible to sell to because there's no SMB marketing channel (as opposed to radio/TV/fb for consumers). you're only option is cold calling.
> I don't know why I'm saying all this the solution is simple but the problem is hard to acknowledge. The poor and destitute simply need help. We live in a society though that thinks someone else is going to take care of the problems. When we do finally give help it's so conditional and shamed that the hole of guilt someone fell in is practically inescapable.

I really don't understand why this is so controversial in North America. The 'Fuck You All, I've Got Mine' mentality is a sign of a morally dead society.
Hopefully the Model 3 has a lower defect rate then previous Teslas
To nitpick: this is only mostly correct. The predominant detection method is actually having arrays of particle detectors on the ground that register through going particles. Because you have an array of them, you can use detection timings of a number of triggered detectors to compute arrival detection/etc.

These more "indirect" detectors get a 10x data collection advantage over fluorescence telescopes because they run 24x7 whereas the telescopes run in clear, moonless nights. (The moon in the field of view can actually burn out the camera.)

Source: subject of my thesis was trying to calibrate the energy measurement of the fluorescence telescopes by using models of the air shower profile and relative light yield from fluorescence vs Cherenkov effects to infer a scalar fluorescence light yield parameter.

I suspect the rest of the industry won't follow because we have many decades worth of research into why tactile buttons and knobs are a good thing while piloting vehicles. This just reeks of Musk overriding his designers in service of a pure vision, and frankly it's reckless and I plan to give Teslas I see on the road a wide berth so they don't murder me while trying to change the airflow via touchscreens with zero feedback.
Yeah, I was planning on doing that since my brother works for tesla and can skip to the head of the line but then I found out you would have to pay double sales tax on that (1 for the original sale and 1 for the resale). Also, you are technically now allowed to claim the federal tax rebate if you buy the car with the intention of selling (hard to prove but not worth the risk).
> I'd argue that Silicon Valley now dominates even wall street in terms of buying political influence in the US nowadays

> is systemic and harder to predict and deal with

Is it actually harder to deal with? About 1/6 of fatalities are drunk drivers[2], and they cause another 1/6 of of car accident fatalities[1]. Almost half of all front-seat (driver + front passenger) fatalities aren't wearing seatbelts while on average 90% of Americans do wear seatbelts[2]. There's no way of solving either these problems without identifying people individually and improving their behavior, which is a pretty intractable issue.

I've driven a model 3, and it's not distracting. The position relative to your eyes is very similar to the position of the dash on a Prius, for example.
Never liked the idea of touch controls in cars. You don't need to look at knobs to find and operate them, but you absolutely need to look at a touchscreen and that just gives people more chances to get distracted from the road.

So a US company providing services to a US naturalized citizen in the US that is also a dual citizen of a country in the EU makes the company liable to follow these regulations?

It seems pretty weird for me that a paper submitted in 2018 doesn't mention Intel's MPX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_MPX), which is pretty much tackling exactly the same problem, in hardware (and requiring software cooperation).

I'm not taking (yet) a position on the relative merits of the bounds-register based MPX approach versus the tagged pointer one presented here, but the comparison should at least be made if at least only to explain why MT would be successful in contrast (MPX has hardly taken the world by storm).

Also, since they appear to be positioning this as something that could be fast enough to run in production (with hardware assist), they should at least take a shot at analyzing the attack surface presented by the probabilistic protection: a figure like 99.6% chance of catching a rogue access makes sense for testing scenarios, but if the adversary is an attacker, can they manipulate those odds to their advantage? The exact tag allocation mechanism becomes pretty important in this case.
Additionally, in the agreement you sign when you take delivery, I believe there is a clause requiring you to not resell for a profit.
The way Chinese government is supposed to work, is actually another form of democracy: People elect representatives to become "National People's Congress", which is supposed to have highest power in China, and decides who the president is going to be. The reality is that NPC do not have real power and the voting process to elect representatives are very flawed.

However, if that actually work as designed, it's not entirely non-democratic, and it's a form I think would be a better fit for China at least in foreseeable future.
> The car in front is not going to instantaneously stop. If it could then you can prove by induction why this conversation is irrelevant ;)

In normal conditions, no. But there are several circumstances in which cars could come to abrupt halts: sudden failures in road conditions (e.g., pothole), crashing into another cars, etc. There's a reason 100-car pileups are a thing.

> However, at lower speeds people (on average) tend to follow at greater than the theoretical safe minimum

What speeds are you thinking about? On urban highways, it is virtually impossible to travel at a safe driving distance, and this is at both freeflow speeds and congested (but not stop-and-go) speeds.

At the larger scale, my friends at Google, Apple or Amazon don't run late for anything, be it a personal brunch or M&A negotiation.

How to MAKE a CHEAP WIG LOOK NATURAL WITH NO EFFORT
The same thing that happens now.

Some energy sources will be low directing certain times of the day, and others will be high, causing it to mostly average out.

And for the stuff that doesn't average out, there is peaker plants.

Things could be further made better using varying electric pricing, such that when energy is plentiful it is cheap, and when it is scarce it is expensive.

> You aren't doing business unless you're accepting payments/selling/shipping things to people in the EU.

This is false.

If you offer a free product and one of the companies you publicly list as a user has a presence in the EU, then you need to be compliant.

If your signup page has been localized to Estonian, you also probably need to be compliant.

"Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union."
Everyone thinks they'd hate the Tesla interface, but I don't personally know a single owner that doesn't love it. I understand the argument for tactile feedback, but the pros I get from the Tesla display outweigh them for me, personally. I dread going back to a dash full of buttons.
This is why I'm so upset that my 2014 Leaf didn't have cruise control by default. It'd be like $300 to get it installed aftermarket.

I'm not sure what you mean by "holes". It seems like it's a fundamental and intended feature of the GDPR that you can't achieve compliance-by-default. You have to explicitly audit every interaction between every system you have, to ensure that either no personal information is present or the interaction complies with GDPR standards.

No. This would be included in the app itself, and would no more interfere with Metal than one Metal app would interfere with another.
If you purge soft-deleted records after (say) 2 months, and don't use those records for anything unless they are undeleted by the users request, I don't think that should cause any problems with GDPR.

>The drumbeat of hires crescendoed in November when Ripple, [...] added Ben Lawsky to its board. He earned a tough reputation as New York’s top financial watchdog by pushing banks to scrutinize client transactions for illicit dealings.
>[...]Lawsky’s jump to Ripple was particularly notable because he helped pioneer regulation of cryptocurrencies. He introduced the BitLicense, a requirement for digital currency companies that wanted to operate in New York.

What a bunch of white washing. Imagine a parallel universe were the DMCA and the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act made online service providers responsible for the content that their user's posted and being called a "pioneer".

Lawsky rose the specter of unsubstantiated "terrorism" fears to create onerous, outdated, maladapted Bitcoin regulations. Shortly after that he quit his job as a regulator and then setup a firm to collect fees for helping "guide" firms through the regulations he just created. Corruption / rent seeking / anti-competative behavior. Bank lawyers even told Lawsky to shut bitcoin down[1]

Totally agree. I run a little side business where I sell digital study guides, and when I initially started I had my prices set in the sub $5 range. A while back I decided to play with my pricing a bit and see how creating a tiered pricing system would affect sales. I went from a flat fee to a $10/$15/$20 tiered system (for the same product) and sales tripled within a month.
IMO "banking cops" is just clickbait. Ah, the vicissitudes of prose: journalists trying to coin a phrase. But it's just confusing, as you point out.

They're just talking about regulators and compliance officers. The former work at the SEC/FINRA, and the latter work in-house for banks, broker-dealers, and investment firms.
It’s amazing to me that the argument of “don’t go after those guys for what they are doing when those other guys are doing bad things too” never dies. Even with all of its blatant fallacy. It will persist until the end of time. And solve nothing.
"The rest of world" occasionally complains about China's dictatorial measures as it occasionally complains about dictatorial measures in other areas.

The only time there have been angry crusades against a given dictatorship (NAZIs, Soviets, etc) is when a given group of nations view these dictatorships as enemies. Which isn't to say these areas weren't dictatorships but that it's always taken more than dictatorship to get the ire of even those nations claiming to care most about democracy and human rights.
This got me thinking, but is there a photography solution for using ML to train selection if photos based on what you think is good/bad so that it can be automated based on your preference? i.e. Offline version of something like Google Photos so it can quickly scan through all the photos and you can keep improving the model based on your selection.
I'd totally support that if it's working as designed. Having a level of indirectness is very different from having everyone vote for who becomes president.

NPC has thousands of members, and I'd expect them to be much more educated and rational than general public overall (again, if the system actually works). They could be elected for various reasons and do not need majority vote of the entire population to become a member of NPC. Their opinions would be a lot more diverse.

>the Tesla has all the self-driving features that are still relatively unmatched by other offerings in the market

Where do you get this idea from?:

"Now, a new report from Navigant Research has dropped, rating the relative positions of various firms racing to develop self-driving cars — and it ranks Tesla dead last, behind the entire field."

https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/262510-new-report-self-d...

It's one thing to claim Tesla are really good (and that might be a stretch). But unmatched? Based on what evidence?
99% of the population could oppose a policy, but no individual could never know they aren't alone and they'll be disarmed against disciplinary power requiring fewer and fewer people at the top to control the rest with machines. Just a handful of decision makers controls search results, the new Google shopping censorship of the last two days, the massive purge of even very moderate conservative YouTube channels over the past few weeks... the only difference here is that the rulers skewing our discourse are "private". One "engineer" at a computer can silence the voices of over a billion people, whether in China or California.
It’s true but a bit pointless. GM isn’t building a lot of Bolts because there aren’t that many buyers for them. If demand suddenly spiked to a million cars a year, they could probably ramp up to meet that demand fairly quickly.

Tesla is ramping up pretty quickly too, though. I think the main difference is that Tesla is being watched by everybody and they’re getting production cars out early. When GM takes some time to ramp up production, people mostly don’t notice or don’t care.

For one example I was personally interested in, the plug-in hybrid version of Mitsubishi’s Outlander has had its US release delayed five years due to production constraints. I think it might finally be available, judging from their web site. I really wanted one back when it was supposed to come out in 2013, but in the intervening half decade I bout a Tesla, reserved another one, and no longer want to buy something that burns any gas.
2.4 GHz WiFi can interfere with Bluetooth transmissions since they use the same frequencies. It's particularly bad when the two transceivers are located close together or share the same antenna.

There is a bag of tricks for dealing with this such as separating transmissions in time, cancelling out the transmitted waveform that bounces back to the receiver (really works, enables full-duplex communication,)
etc.

Certain devices might not play well with coexistence mechanisms and thus cause problems.

I don't think the fact that you find it hard to do so should be a reason to restrict your user-base. I see a case for single-gender outings and understand that some people would prefer such outings, but I think co-ed outings could add to the app.
