Because there is a common well established set of rules with lots of other countries that makes the (electronic) paperwork really easy. In fact admin wise it is no harder to import from Chile than France. The CCT is to much simpler than having 28 sets of rules for countries who want to sell into the EU.

Tariffs are there but that is not unique to the EU, indeed one might point to the USA and metal tariffs... When you say 'non-tariff barriers' do you mean the safety standards or the quality standards? They are both barriers I'm very happy to have.
It’s more like food. Ice cream and broccoli are both food which makes it hard to say much interesting about food that’s universally applicable.

> You're telling me that we're allowing Amazon to fly drones and drop shit out of the sky whenever it wants

No, we don't. Amazon is not doing anything with drones right now. If you bothered reading the article, you would know that Amazon only has a patent for a airbag for dropping packages.

"Amazon, keenly focused on automation and cheap, efficient delivery of products, has obtained dozens of drone-related patents in recent years. But it remains to be seen whether this latest one, or any of the others, will lead to technology used in drone deliveries."
This is great, probably elimate a portion of interviews. :/
The compiler shouldn't rejected UB, it should define all behavior, and reject all code constructs that can't have behavior fully defined (like accessing raw pointers as arrays, so bounds- checking is impossible). It can throw an exception on null de-reference at runtime. That's slow, but safe.

This article suggests that the Palantir software, regardless of method, was in fact instrumental in identifying a gang leader who was subsequently sentenced to 100 years in prison.

And that the reason that it was cancelled was largely due to the public's discomfort with the program, as raised by a previous Verge article, that laid out the potential for civil liberties violations and potential macro ineffectiveness of Palantir's identification methodology.

With that in mind it seems like Palantir's largest risk forward is running afoul of due-process for their criminality / policing divisions, not that municipalities won't fall over themselves to hand them billions in fees in the name of efficiency.
First, it's "parallel construction", not "parallel reconstruction".

Second, that term refers to the use of SIGINT (or, more likely, aggregates) collected by intelligence agencies to inform law enforcement but not add to evidence available to prosecutors.

Despite the scary name, Palantir is not in fact a signals intelligence agency.

There is a lot to be concerned about with police department gang member databases, but police departments predict crime routinely. It's a core part of what it means to run a large city police department. You don't allocate patrols uniformly across the city; that makes no sense.

Small differences in intelligence are overrated.

Success in academics is almost entirely derived from motivation and the amount of work and interest that the student puts into it. ESPECIALLY at the elementary school level.
The video made me discover zeit. It changed my life :-0
> It would really help a lot of people if we could segregate children as they enter the school system into more refined groups based on their needs rather than waiting for someone to select you for gifted programs like we do now.

This makes me distinctively uncomfortable.

Also, you've made the conclusion that relative intelligence, if even very accurate, implies specific, categorical needs. I'm very confused by this.
I just think it's unfortunate that every player in the space has to ship their own hardware (and, obviously, force the user into a walled garden so that competitor's products are inconvenient to use.)

Give me (a power user) something I can run in a docker container locally, or on any of my local Macs or PCs.

Or, assume as a constraint that smart homes need to be able to run themselves. I would appreciate if everyone in the space made an effort at detente while the technology matured to a point where a massive privacy and security hole wasn't required in order to have the thing work at all.
It actually seems pretty complicated here. IIRC the best previous studies just used years in education as a proxy -- not a great one, but an easy number to get, thus allowing large a sample size.

This one seems to do some weird combination of that, plus several smaller datasets which have some kind of test score, all combined & normalized somehow. (Presumably they had some fun conversations with their referees about the statistics...)

Speaking personally now, I'm in two minds about a lot of this.

It seems clear that the inability of different EU member states to operate their own fiscal policies while tied to the same currency has caused harm (albeit of very different kinds) in recent years to both Greece at one end of the scale and Germany at the other, and to a lesser extent to various other member states. If the EU was a fully federal system, with combined political/legislative leadership to go with the combined economic/currency ties, maybe that wouldn't have happened. However, I doubt we'll see that level of integration any time soon, because it brings too much other baggage. That being the case, while I don't have the knowledge or experience to judge the odds myself, I can see why some economists might be wary of the same effects that caused so much trouble a few years ago doing so again in the future.

As for the EU not being pleased about the UK leaving, that seems inevitable, but I'm hoping that cooler heads will prevail. Poisoning the well won't help either side, and clearly we're still going to be trading and collaborating in many other ways post-Brexit. We can dig in with red lines about this or that, but NI is still going to suffer economically just like Ireland if they mess the border arrangements up. They can make a fuss about blocking City financial services all they like, but it's their own big businesses using those services and they have no credible alternative based within the EU27, and those businesses weren't just spending all that money on those financial services out of charity.

For myself, it saddens me that the whole affair seems to be characterised more by divisive rhetoric and mistrust now than by a constructive, amicable approach. I take the view that if we're going to have Brexit then obviously the UK-EU relationship will change, but it's still in our mutual interests to collaborate in numerous ways, and I think there were also numerous ways that these negotiations could have gone better if most of the political leadership on both sides hadn't been weak and hostile from day one.
I agree with the bike shedding comment! It seems to me that the location format is the most trivial part of an addressing infrastructure. Any system could easily be successful, but it needs a level of infrastructure and support to work which is not trivial. My guess is that the eventual solution will be for apps to use GPS and camera to identify delivery points in places that lack good addresss infrastructure.

Is it still correct / accurate to equate intelligence with IQ? I was under the impression that the IQ test has a number of biases (e.g., cultural) that leave it flawed.

If I could somehow transfer my employer's IOUs to my landlord off-chain, I figure that break the security model because my landlord wouldn't know if I had double spent the IOUs. Let me know if I'm missing something though.

Honestly, it never even crossed my mind to ask for a chargeback.

The number of times that I've had issues over the years is pretty small. For example, I think I've had two issues w/ Amazon over the years, and both times, they've fallen all over themselves trying to help. I think one time, they shipped me the wrong item, and they told me to just keep it and they would ship the correct item.

How would that work, exactly? I imagine you could extend the concept to anything that humans do in excess, which is just about everything. And then you would be monitoring every aspect of their lives for that point in time when they overindulge. In the meantime, you would have all of their actions mapped in your database, enough to determine their likes and dislikes, their wants and desires to the point where you can do so before they know what they want. And then you can stop it before it happens. With a nudge.

It is impossible for you to redistribute this software or any sort of resulting binary.

Yeah, I suspect this is the case as well. As an example, Skullgirls had Japanese audio recorded for its Japanese physical release, but then had to reach some sort of agreement (and probably pay money?) to relicense the voice acting so they could distribute it in the US and through Steam.
actually, I think this sort of stuff may be good for fairness of the distribution of wealth and income--especially so at the upper end. I mean the top 1%, 0.1% and 0.01% are much, much similar in abilities than they are in wages/wealth.
WRT always being able to avoid Wal-Mart, in less populated areas when a Wal-Mart opens if there's any local competition it's generally decimated.

When in the SF bay area I never shop at Wal-Mart. On the SF peninsula you have to go to the south bay or over a bridge just to find one last I checked, there are plenty of options.

But after spending winter in a rural area, it's been quite surprising the number of times I've found myself in a Wal-Mart to buy household goods simply because there's no alternative. And boy does the quality of their products _suck_, it's pretty much a store 80% full of garbage, the stuff is so bad I experience buyer's remorse just looking at it on the shelves.
I suspect running Linux on it would be a pain in the rear, since it's not one of the PCs Dell natively supports with Linux, and as a detachable, I'm sure it has a handful of "weird" drivers that make it work right.

It depends on your definition of "usable".

For instance, if I want to tie 3 bulbs together (e.g. treat them as a single bulb for on/off/brightness/color) in SmartThings, that has to go to the cloud. That was when I stopped trying to make things work in SmartThings.

Well, if we'd stop meddling in Russia, maybe they'd do the same. I'm pretty sure we are trying to hack into their systems.
I think maybe I was a little bit imprecise. It's not that the projects are too hard, but that the way the book is structured doesn't give you what you need to complete the project before giving you the project itself. They're a "follow along" thing, not a "here, now you're 100% ready for this" thing. The projects tend to be designed to illustrate the concepts introduced in the chapter, so a reader can't do the project before they've read the chapter, because they don't know the things that the project is meant to teach. And after they've finished the chapter, they've already finished the project just by following along — but they haven't actually demonstrated any mastery of the subject in doing so.

For example, it's not like somebody's going to start TRPL, see "Let's make a guessing game," stop there and successfully make a guessing game — they don't know any Rust at that point! Similarly, IIRC we're not introduced to most of the IO functionality before the IO project, and so on.
I don't know if it's correct so much as that's how they normally define it and measure it for purposes of the study.

You're of course free to come up with a different definition.

But it has been blocked at the request of the Turkish government. So it has been blocked in Turkey (a large portion of people in Turkey cannot access it -- given how popular it is), and also blocked by Turkey (since it was government ordered).

I'm not sure what your requirement is to say that something is blocked in a country, but far more than 30% of users not being able to access a site due to a government order sounds an awful lot like a "block" to me.
