> We should be doing more to support emotional support animals in general to help those afflicted.

Did either you or the parent commenter read the entire article or the interview at the end? Nobody is saying support animals don't help in any way.

The whole discussion is about the lack of any serious studies or evidence that animals objectively help those with mental health issues, and how exactly they help. How can you say "we should be doing more to support" something without knowing if that thing is actually helping? This is the point of the article.
It won’t change the way I develop because I was never a data-stealing sleazebag in the first place. But I hope it drives Google and Facebook out of the UK/EU for good.
Yes, the standard strategy was not applicable to an industry lacking regulation. This revolving door strategy seems to have been hinged on enacting a regulation that Ripple desired (in order to protect their lead in their market) for a job on the other side.

Is all regulation good? No. Is all deregulation good? No. It is not a black and white issue. As a citizen and not a corporation, I personally lean on the side of regulating industries and providing consumer protections.

> I don’t think what you’re talking about is “inherently bad” either

deregulating finance and preventing regulation on derivatives. Good or bad?

deregulating BLM restrictions on Indian land for fracking and oil pipelines? Good or bad?

deregulating the Consumer Finance Protections Bureau? Good or bad?

I believe the pattern of deregulating industry while increasing regulation on consumers and workers (forced arbitration, preventing salaried overtime, preventing class action) is inherently bad and while FedEx is a fine example of deregulation coming out the victor, today's two-pronged trends of deregulation and restriction are not so pristine an example.
Same here. For a while when going out with friends and someone wanted to take a group photo I asked if it was being uploaded to Facebook, and in that case I would get out of the camera sight, but then I realized any photo will end up on FB anyway because most people don't give a damn about their and others privacy, so today I don't allow anyone to take photos of myself in any situation, and ask them not to tag me at any cost should I appear in any photo by mistake.
That way I'll probably just delay a bit the day my photo will appear with full name and personal details: I can't smash all phones of the people taking selfies in a pub or on the beach with no consideration for whoever is sitting/walking/bathing 5 meters from them.
Yes, that is extreme, just as FB complete lack of respect for privacy.

If I had the right connections I'd push for some countermeasures to be added to the phone OSes, such as for example a barcode that disables the camera or covers the wearer's face through image recognition if taken from a short distance: just wear a shirt/badge with that barcode and your privacy is guaranteed: either they move away or point the camera elsewhere.
Most people wouldn't crack the poverty line with their earnings from painting, acting, writing, music, sculpting, etc. YouTube is just another type of art. Like any artistic endeavor, it is extremely helpful to be independently wealthy or have a patron supporting you (parents / spouse / rich monarch). For the rest of us, you do your craft when you can around your primary job, and one day retire so you can do it full time.
Besides implementation costs, you're simply leaving money on the table. You can make lots of profit by selling user's tertiary preference data, often enough to buoy for a few months. It's ridiculous that some Europeans are forcing us to give up money for some fee-fees.
I worked as a strategy guy in the same space as AWS. In my opinion, you don't. You look at what they are doing in the market, and you decide how you fit in around them, there is typically a pretty decent business there, AWS is a great for wake building, developer first is key. :)
That's a great point. Hmmm... I wasn't considering that. Oops. I'm glad I mentioned it! Thanks!
Last month I was chatting to the guy who is editing the 1818 edition of Frankenstein for Penguin and he said that the consensus is that Mary wrote F., not Percy.
Source: worked for an online payday lender. There are a lot of commercial APIs from "Consumer Reporting Agencies," providing public information beyond credit rating agencies, that are in use to determine lending decisions. The Wikipedia article on the FCRA[1] has a brief list of these firms and a summary of the laws around data collection and dissemination. IMO the United States needs to both step up enforcement of existing data privacy laws, and more legislation protecting people.

The Wall Street bailout probably saved the financial system, ultimately made the government money, but was incredibly unpopular. The bailout of GM lost money, helped some politically connected groups, and was mostly popular and uncontroversial. Jobs are political capital, and neither finance nor tech have that many, so they make it up with cash.
All thinking is a skill. If there is one thing I wish schools would teach, it is meta cognition.
Say something went wrong, and the company is questioning why you went for an unknown brand. My answer to that would be they offered more value than the trusted brand, also I would have notified necessary stakeholders before making that decision of using services provided by the unknown brand.
Do they train emotional support animals to be used to unusual environments? I suppose it must be roughly the same sort of training given to sight assistance dogs. I'm pretty sure if I took either of my dogs on an aircraft, for example, any emotional benefit I derived would be countered by their extreme anxiety and fright.
Why aren't emails and cold calls a marketing channel? This is how I've done it for years with great success.

No idea. I joined early and didn't really think through some of the privacy ramifications until 2008 or even 2010. Then there are the friends who don't think about them at all, and I assume that Facebook puts some stock in their tags, even if I delete them later.

Considering this is not about human memory but about computers and data storage, and those things are traditionally pretty bad at lying, it seems like a bad path to take, personally.
Right. So you'd have to have a business case for the user to have a persistent login, if you want to offer login functionality, beyond simply "track the user to see what they want". It's ridiculous.
This could be because of the Commerce Clause in the Constitution. It basically regulates all commerce at scale in the US of A. I bet TVA took its position because of Roscoe Filbrun, a wheat farmer with a similar argument in 1942. This is a really great piece on it if you're interested.

At the most basic level though, I suspect it merely comes down to:

Building something new is fun, trying to debug, build on or debug something that already exists is a lot less so.

Well that and the point in the article about how their ideas would be respected. The guy who builds a whole new system gets a lot more respect from the management team than the person who keeps it going or fixes bugs.
I am confused, I always thought that moving faster makes time go slower but the article says this:

"For example, a clock on top of a tall mountain — far from the center of the Earth — will move a tiny bit faster than a clock at the base of that mountain, where the gravity is stronger. It's not a mechanical error. Time itself actually passes faster at the top of the mountain."

From what I can understand from the Wikipedia article is that time does go slower the faster you move:
"Special relativity indicates that, for an observer in an inertial frame of reference, a clock that is moving relative to him will be measured to tick slower than a clock that is at rest in his frame of reference."

I did a little search and half the sites I saw said one thing and the other half said the opposite.

Would anyone mind explaining like I'm five? Or maybe share a trustworthy sources I could read on the subject?

Thanks.
How so?

Hardware startups have been bought before. This isn't a unique event.

I worked for a hardware startup for a couple of years and VCs being cautious about the category is very well deserved.

It is easily an order of magnitude harder to develop a successful hardware product than a success software product. And even after you've sold a million of them a design defect could show itself that makes all million of them break and destroys your entire company overnight.

It's doable but very hard.
I wonder if we will see a kind of dual universe privacy in implementations once countries like China become equal as a market for internet services, and they create some sort of a reverse GDPR law. Then for all customers from the EU you will have to completely anonymize and protect all data to the last bit, while for Chinese customers you'll have to implement the most rigid and total tracking possible?
I consult or have consulted multiple tech startups that suddenly found themselves competing against an AWS service like CloudWatch, Glue, Sagemaker, and so on.

In every one of those cases, nothing bad happened. Here's why:

- These AWS products are more like single-purpose utilities than complete solutions. They cover just the basic use cases. If your competing product is also single-purpose then yes, you should be worried. But if you're selling a platform, suite, or an enterprise product (like the companies I work with), then you're probably fine.

- These products are meant to plug into a developer's workflow, like one piece of a larger puzzle. That means requiring technical expertise. If your product is used by both practitioners and managers then you're fine.

- AWS tools are for AWS users. Does your product support Google Cloud and/or Azure?

- AWS products are provided "as is." Most users will have little to no input into the product roadmap and have little hope for getting their feature requests fulfilled. As a (presumably) smaller company, your agility and ability to implement customer feedback is an advantage.

There's more to say on this but the tl;dr is don't worry. For every utility product AWS offers, there are dozens of alternative solutions that are thriving.

Edit to clarify my statement and to reconcile with the other stories where companies were pushed out of the market by AWS: If you're selling infrastructure such as email servers, data storage of any kind, etc, then yes you should be worried if AWS moves in. Doesn't mean AWS will win by default (see: Snowflake vs Redshift), but the amount of resources Amazon puts behind those things is significantly greater than their add-on solutions. With that said, even a company the size of Amazon can't grab an entire market immediately; there's plenty of business to be won by both sides if you play things right... That's what makes it fun!

Apparently no longer in effect (overthrown)
This is a great example of excellent product strategy, these are all points AWS are unlikely to compete on. Great to hear that they’re still in business
I'm not going to pretend to understand the legal niceties here, but the analogy to "stolen property" rings false because 1) he's not depriving anybody of their passwords 2) the very fact they've been leaked means they aren't really of value anymore.

It seems that when prices move in this direction, you could raise the taxable value and simultaneously lower the millage rate so that the overall tax receipts are what the city needs.

This way, people whose properties have skyrocketed in value relative to the rest of the city would have their taxes go up slightly, those whose values have gone up but gone up by a relatively lower amount would see a reduction in taxes, and the city still gets all its revenue for operations.

If everyone's value has doubled (as an example), it would seem better to raise everyone's assessments by 100% and cut the millage rate by 50% than to have some weird half-Prop13 situation where 123 Main St is assessed at half of 125 Main St because 123 last sold in 1984 and 125 sold last week for $1.4MM in cash.
Was not bashing taking medication. Sorry that was not my intent.

SSRIs and such can be helpful, but I would like to stay away from xanax and things like that. I have known many people who became dependent and had their life ruined. I know it depends on the person and their background, but I'd like to avoid it all together personally.

I'd prefer to hug a dog than take potentially addictive medications.

Or you could save yourself the risk and all the hassle, and just go with the well-known brand. It's not necessarily what you should do, but it is what often happens.
To me, it seems about 1 out of 4 people that pull out a Samsung phone has a cracked screen. I don't have hard data, but I've seen it happen enough in my friends phones that I decided it would be best to avoid it entirely.
I wonder if part of the reason this worked so well is that the Unix kernel was written in a fairly straightfoward top down style? It's a lot harder to do a code reading if you're hitting different abstractions on every other line and having to make digressions to track down exactly what that abstraction is doing.
If it's not possible then it's a rather breathtaking claim of authority that a non EU based business cannot exclude EU citizens.
> Humans would happily use vast amounts of electricity 24x7x365 our entire lives if it is available.

That assumption could be false, though.

I only want to fill my house with a certain amount of lumens before it starts hurting my eyes, and it only takes a certain amount of electricity to produce those many lumens. Maybe I could get a bigger house, but that ends up being limited by housing costs instead of electricity costs, so the cost of houses limits how much electricity I burn on lights.

Or maybe TV's? Sure, a bigger TV would eat more electricity, but I can't afford an infinitely large TV, so the price of TV's limits how much electricity I use. Computers are the same way TV's are.

I guess your second bullet point is true? Electricity costs are falling, but the total cost of doing stuff with electricity is going up because the gadgets are getting more expensive relative to how much power they pull.
So what, English and French? Those are the two major languages of the union, but are also the two official languages of canada. Seems like you can easily get hamstrung on a technicality.
Full disclosure: I am currently an engineer at Seneca Systems and an ex-engineer of Zendesk, which I loved :)

From my experience, Zendesk is a private sector-oriented customer relationship platform with communications at its core. The relationship between local government and their constituents doesn't look like the private sector relationship between customer service department and customer (though this comparison is frequently made). A customer service rep needs to answer, respond, and pass along... But in government, a worker has to actually get the work done.

The relationship between government and constituent isn't a sales relationship, it is a services one, and it's in the service request management area that workers are really suffering. The communication is only important insofar as it becomes a unit of work for the government to deliver on... A pothole, for example, or a streetlight issue. They struggle with geolocation and the need for mapping, the ability to visualize community issue trends and seeing them as they happen rather than when the shoe falls, FOIA requests, and more. These things are highly specific to government, and not really addressable by a generic private sector solution no matter how customizable.

As a result, in Romulus managing the constituent communications is only the first piece of the puzzle. In my opinion, the real value Seneca provides is in the service request management, which takes the communication and tracks the unit of work that comes from it internally, as well as providing the ability to communicate the progress externally as Zendesk does.

This reminds me of some threads about the difference between Slack and IRC. Could one be dramatically retrofitted to accomplish what the other does? Sure, but it wouldn't do it well, and people aren't looking for it to do that.
to be fair most of the old guard are not fans. It doesn't mean they're wrong but it could mean they don't get it.

On the other hand, Buffett is negative and he's never wrong so there's that.

In the end, you can't rely on appeal to authority here. You have to go with your convictions.
> I doubt some small local shop will ever get max punishment

Why? It's selective prosecution, plain and simple.

These things have a history of being selectively used to punish institutions for other reasons that are not easy to do using the law

To the people downvoting, imagine the following scenario:

Website promotes ideas the EU finds problematic. The EU wants to silence it but can't because of free-speech laws or any other constraint.

All they have to do is find something trivial under this law and punish them for it, bankrupting the company.

All of these "I hope the law will be applied reasonably" are dangerous because they give the state too much power.

That, and the blood supply. The inside of my mouth is a sort of lurid pink, because all the tissues are packed with capillaries. Meanwhile, my skin is a barely pinkish off-white, because what blood vessels there are are deep below layers of cells and connective tissue.
I am excited to see what effect moving transit into private vehicles will have. I currently enjoy my commute time with a book but there are other things I'd prefer to be doing. What if I could enjoy a bit more evening in exchange for shifting my showering/breakfasting/working out into the morning commute? I'd be pretty happy with that.

Especially if we move sleeping into self-driving cars then that long commute of yours might start before you're awake
Agreed, and China's carriers are ineffective against U.S. or other advanced nations' naval power. The theory is that they are designed for lower-end targets and because China, wanting to be seen as a global power, wants the symbol of global naval power. Perception matters a lot in international affairs and politics: How many would take China seriously as a global naval power if they had no carriers, while the US, Russia, UK, France, and also India all do have them? People would perceive that China has not caught up yet.
Why don't ad providers simply close their local branches, stop accepting these tainted Euros, and collect the data anyway? As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there's limited mechanism of enforcement.

The main draw for me is saving time by not needing to drive. It is currently luxury to have own chauffeur so that one can focus on more interesting things than to keep attention on the road during daily commute. Mass transit allows this but it doesn't really allow you to fully focus on something else while you are traveling.

And from engineering perspective, it's absolutely awesome to work on it, I wish everybody could experience the feeling when a self-driving car you programmed makes its first drive on its own (I have experienced it).

Ethical risks are real though, both about who is responsible in case of fatality as well as what if the technology is going to be abused for military purposes (I already rejected to lead self-driving part of an off-road military vehicle in the past).

I heard a statistic that the average commute across the country is 30minutes because people will always move far enough away for cost but close enough for travel time. I agree it could be possible to impact real estate if commuting is no longer stressful and congested.

Different target markets: doesn't look like these have GPIO or any other low-level features. They're just small PCs.
Is it actually farther away, in terms of angles, than a normal instrument cluster? Looks similar to me. I haven’t sat in one yet though.
That idea isn't real for anyone who had obligations outside work at fixed times. Especially for parents of small children who have to be reliably picked up and dropped off.

Why Filecoin? It hasn't launched and it isn't even traded. There are several startups backed by ERC-20 tokens that have been building a product and will launch this year.

One is even a YC startup, Request Network. Another, FunFair, has developed its own state channel technology because of an innovation gap with Ethereum.
Software Engineers can theoretically become PEs, but it's very recent. Practically speaking, it's difficult right now.

NCEES recently created a PE exam for software engineers in 2013, in collaboration with IEEE and IEEE-CS. However, it's up to state engineering boards whether or not to administer the exam. California does NOT yet the administer the Software Engineering PE exam.

>But nobody wants that.

Oh, that's exactly what I want, and have been researching for myself. I'm taking it even further and planning on being able to switch individual circuits between battery and grid.

If that idea is dumb somehow I'd love to know more resources about why. From my perspective it's a better solution than grid tie, but I value resiliency and reliability as well as pure cost alone. If I still lived in a city where the power literally never went out for years at a time, then having a local backup would not be really attractive.

And considering the regulations, it seems like the system I'm considering would also be able to basically satisfy the desire for "i'll make the first 5khw". Select a circuit that draws at least 5 kwh/day, run it off batteries until the battery bank voltage drops below a threshold, and then switch over to the grid.
> I'm sure many people (myself included) would be happy to keep services like this running

Yeah. Thought so.
Yes the first 90% is reasonable, it is the last 10% that is a nightmare.

I comply with the general intent (always have), but the law as currently written is near impossible to comply with. My feeling is this will be realised by the EU and a more rational set of guidelines will emerge.
