The preamble of the GDPR states that it regulates the fundamental right to privacy, not the human right to privacy. The human right to privacy is much lower level than the fundamental right to privacy.

I believe OpenTable when they say it was a rogue employee, but I was hoping to see some mention in their apology of looking at their incentive system.
In fact, corporations display many of the characteristics we typically associate with AI: perfect recall due to record keeping, ability to pay attention to many things at once, in theory immortal as long as it can keep up funding itself, can do projects that surpass the ability of any normal human to comprehend by itself, etc.

It's a bit slower than we regularly imagine computer-based AI to be, of course :)

I really should have clarified that my situation described was in rural America. I realize that in larger cities the situation may seem completely different.

The open space group that I ran into did not care about good quality housing, just making money. And they do exist, but since this happened many years ago, I don't have any of my paperwork left, and finding this online is very hard because of the nature of searching for "open spaces".

The businesses involved are all rich land developers. And the kinds of houses they built were not only in-appropriate for the location (think basements in the south, or crawl space in the north) and abused town ordinances, lied to city councils, etc... It's amazing that people would think this stuff doesn't happen.

Is this the mob mentality we have now? That because city people need open space, because it's in short supply, that when a developer sucks up the space and uses it up that it must be ok because a lot of people fit there? But when a home owner wants to have space they are wrong?

If I wish to replace the original control arms on my Land Cruiser with something - anything - differing from OEM spec, I need to obtain paperwork from the control arm manufacturer as well as from Toyota stating that this will be fine, said papers will have to be brought to a control station where the vehicle will be inspected, documentation perused and the change hopefully being approved.

This process takes more than thirty seconds.
How Passive Investing Shapes Active Management (2017) [pdf]
It is not mentioned in detail in the article, but it's worth looking up what the GOCE satellite was. Unlike 99.9% of satellites ever built, it was designed to be shaped sort of like a rectangular missile with solar panel wings. The idea was to make it slightly more aerodynamic and thus prolong its lifespan at very low orbit altitude, with ion thruster and tank of propellant.
Ahah funny I always seen these as ... these! Really I always thought it was quite elegant, in a nerdy way ;-)
A company which requires your phone number for 2FA can also use it for monetization, if it's in their T&C (that you read before accepting, of course). Like selling it to advertisers, using it for targeted promotions and whatnot. Another reason to ditch this transport system.

2FA is about combining a thing you know (password) with a thing you have (physical device like a card reader for banks, but usually phone because easier to access). But you can also use something you are (fingerprint/face recognition), although that comes with another entire set of issues (like sending your biometrics to a server).
I too choose privacy and battery life over the convenience of leaving location on all the time.
The magic behind LINQ is that it's a query layer on top of a backing data store. When it first came out, you'd see data providers written against twitter, file system and everything like that.
Then entity framework & nhibernate linq provider came out. It was great, hid a lot of details from user, brought static type checking to otherwise very hard to "verify" sql. You'd now think in terms of objects, and not tables.

Linq compiler compiled the whole query into a AST, which you could then convert to a backing query your data store could understand.

To date, I still think Linq was great. I was indifferent to the "sqlized linq", but i liked the lambda quite a lot. It was a nice abstraction and a pretty good language to write queries on.

Disclaimer: I worked on NHibernate Linq integration ~10 years ago.

Ask HN: Should governments become identity providers
Is it a government's job to supply their civilians with e.g. official email addresses? And linked to that, should governments provide services to verify the identity of their civilians to external parties (instead of external parties verifying identities)
Well this got personal fast. I live on a very small city lot in a small town in rural America. The lot next door was a slightly larger lot that had one house on it.

Later in time, a developer came along and put a split house on it, one for his father-in-law, and sold the other. I talked with this guy as he was building these houses. He was respectful and cared about the neighborhood.

I went to city council when this project came up for one reason, to support this developer. With a split house on this land, there is 20 feet and back yard space (about) and maybe 10 in the front, and 6 on each side.

I told city hall I approved this guys plans, and I was happy he was building something useful there.

I really wished people wouldn't jump to conclusions and ask reasonable questions before accusing and attacking.
You're right -- but every single study has shown that teaching sex ed properly (covering safe sex, how STDs actually transmit rather than fear mongering) is the most reliable way of reducing STDs, unwanted pregnancy, abortions (largely due to the reduction in unwanted pregnancy), sex abuse, ...

The policy of "teach abstinence" fails people much more so than vaccinating against a single vector.

The thing people miss a lot about makefile, apart from what has already been mentioned is the fact you can have "local" version of the "global" variables, per rules.

It's very very powerfull, clear to read, and simplify all these if/else/end no end...

For example:

CFLAGS = -std=gnu99 -Werror

release/%.elf: CFLAGS += -DRELEASE

debug/%.elf: CFLAGS += -DDEBUG

Basically you can add your own context flags and variables for each individual targets, and they are 'inherited' by any of their /sub/ targets...

Oh, people also need to learn about VPATH or course [0]!

I always saw Linq as the iPhone of functional programming: it didn't really invent anything, but put existing things into such an appealing package for mass-market that it really finally made all those things popular and usable by people (developers) at large.
Communism hasn't every really happened. What we've had are bizarre dictatorships veiled in communist language that tap the masses discontent as a source of support, but these haven't resulted in communist states. Communism, in theory, comes after capitalism gets bad, but you need capitalism to come before it, otherwise you get the Soviet Union and China which try to be communist states without being industrialized states first.

lesson to the youngsters - never do anything smelly/unethical (dont even mention criminal) without manager approval in writing. Otherwise at the first sign of trouble you'll be made to take one for the team as it seems to have happened in this and countless other cases.

I mean even in normal situation, whenever some details of feature, project, etc. are discussed and decided/assigned in some informal way, i find it is very useful to send a summary note so the manager/PM/etc wouldn't come later with the very different version of what happened.
Looking for some advice.

I want to build a text editor where git history is displayed as first class files directly in the file tree. Like a page named landing.html would have landing.html.v0, landing.html.v1, landing.html.v2, etc. directly as regular files. With maybe the git commit message also in the file name for more context.

What would be the best way to make this happen? Build an app from scratch with something like Electron? Build an extension for an existing text editor like Sublime, VSCode, or Atom?
Yes you are. Look I know you want to seen the big picture but that's not how it should work. If you spend money in country A that shouldn't give you the right to write of revenue in country B. From the perspective of country B you were profitable. If you want to write off revenue in country B then invest, pay taxes or don't do business there.

Countries don't need parasitic businesses like that. All they will do is undermine the economy and local competition.

That's why I said

> Now of course it's legitimate assuming all the rectangular prisms have the same depth

But I still consider it to add an extra element to the demonstration that may potentially confuse people who look at it (or have them wondering 'are they all the same depth or not?'), which is something you don't want in an educational demo.
It probably wasn't sagging that killed it. Over time those elements will develop hot spots and eventually the hot spot fails spectacularly spewing sparks and plasma from the failure. It's kind of similar to a plasma cutter for a second as there's the small arc in the element which ionizes the gas and it blows it out from the element and if it hits something grounded I can totally see it punching a hole through sheet metal.

So, they replace backend JS with rust, and frontend DOM/CSS with WebGL. Then all that's left of Electron is the V8 JS engine for scripting.

For the desktop, they could cut out Electron entirely and replace it with V8 and some minimal OpenGL bindings. I wonder how that would improve performance!
I dare to say the right question to ask is a different one:

When does something officially become recognised infrastructure?

Streets, power supply, water, and now we are actually facing the question if the internet should be part of the default infrastructure we expect.

This poses several questions and issues, such as identity but also e.g. storage of data. Think of all the SaaS products, and what happens if they go out of business.

What happens to your data? In a more broader view this means, who owns the data? You, the provider, the state, nobody?

I think this is emergent behavior rather than something with a malicious source. Profit seeking is one reason but it could also be to remain competitive.

There are so many people in China and India (and allover the world but these 2 have the largest populations) that are smarter, more creative, and much more driven than us in the US that it's inevitable that we regress towards the median.

Our lifestyles are maintained primarily through moats dug a long time ago. However technology continues it flattening rampage making each human equally valuable by unlocking more and more of their potential. What was gated physically and socially is not so anymore due to the ubiquity of computers and the internet.

Ironically it's the executives making these decisions by seeing the equality in all humans. It's not that they can't reduce their own salaries and bonuses but if there are willing and driven people, by denying them they are basically giving charity to the "middle class" that expects them to do so without a thanks. In this situation it's the middle class demanding more without seeing that they are actually asking for charity that results in a schism between the ideal and reality and all the dehumanization that comes with it.

This does not preclude the possibility of spacecraft doing repeated dips only on the perigee
We used to make features detectors manually

E.g. https://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/doc/py_tutorials/py_feature...

These were at the root of many detectors. They still are for some applications but for most of them, a few layers of CNN manage to train far better and very counter-intuitive detectors.

Facial detection/recognition was based on features, this is not my specialty, I don't know if DL got better there too as their features were pretty advanced but if they are not there yet I am sure it is just a matter of time.

I can see image stitching benefiting from a deep-learned filter pass too.

Camera calibration is pretty much a solved problem by now, I don't think DL adds a lot to it.

Like I said, not everything became obsolete, but around 50% of the field was taken over my DL algorithms where, before that, hand-crafted algorithms had usually vastly superior performances.
They're not more mechanical than cells are, and that's been known since viruses were distinguished from cells.

Isn’t this just called sales/bizdev/gettingcustomers? Ideally you can fund your business from sales to adventurous customers who are willing to put up with you still developing the software. This I think is sttictly better than selling to investors and then your customers.

Customers both provide more valid feedback and sttonger validation of your idea than investors ever could. They also have more skin in the game.

True, interesting idea.

[Long edit]

Thinking further about this idea, I realize this may even mitigate the catch 22 problem of very low orbits (<180km): the lower the orbit, the larger the drag and the required thrust power, meaning the solar arrays must be bigger, which in turn further increases the drag... Calculations suggests that with current solar array and thruster technology, flying lower than 150km with this concept is impossible.

But with an elliptic orbit, energy from the solar arrays can be stored on the low-drag portion of the orbit too and used during the perigee dip, thus decreasing the requirements in terms of solar arrays area.
This is actually pretty complicated and messy.

A founder's email address is still tied to a lot of accounts. Either as a login, or the contact email address, or the password reset email address. Sometimes you can't disassociate the email address with the account.

People who missed the memo about them leaving reach out to that email address looking for the founder/executive, and instead they reach someone who no longer works there.

If you're using something like Google Docs, a founder who retains their email address still has access to virtually all of the most important company documents - OR someone has to go through every document and manually remove them (but not even that will get them all).

If the founder leaves on good terms, it seems like not a big deal, but it ends up being a huge liability.

As did absolutely anyone and everyone who had money invested in Manhattan Real estate at the time. Trumps real business record is abysmal with a few gambles that paid off and it appears purely due to luck.
