People will generally pay a premium for better service, but in the case of retail, it's usually hard to beat the service of "instant purchase with free two day delivery to my doorstep". I for one, very rarely buy something w/o checking if it's cheaper on Amazon (or some other online retailer) first. It's gotta be a tough market that's for sure.
I'm sure there are some people who are attentive enough about traffic before they start studying for a learner's permit (at 14 most places, I believe, not 16) to be described that way, but many are not. Especially if you live and go to school in a suburban area your experience with traffic is probably largely a) crossing not very busy streets, b) riding a bike on, again, not very busy streets where traffic laws are honestly barely obeyed anyways, and c) getting on a bus or being driven everywhere, at which point maybe you pay attention or maybe you don't.

There's definitely going to be some osmosis but I think you're pretty vastly overstating it (and including several years in which your ability to even comprehend what traffic is is going to be severely limited).
You are assuming these same people, with everything to gain through just this behavior, have been utterly and scrupulously well-behaved this entire time all while nobody really questioned them.

Before the current "equal temperament" system there was a "just temperament system" that basically harks back to Pythagoras. The main intervals in the C scale are very close to whole fractions of low numerator and denominator. The problem is that this doesn't work very well in every key. So the emergence of modern music came with a few tries at averaging these things out until equal temperament in the log scale arose.

Some of the character of older music is actually lost because of this. But hey, now all keys work the same.
Quoting a conservative source:

[1] How did Facebook react to the much larger data harvesting of the Obama campaign? The New York Times reported it out, in a feature hailing Obama’s digital masterminds:

The campaign’s exhaustive use of Facebook triggered the site’s internal safeguards. “It was more like we blew through an alarm that their engineers hadn’t planned for or knew about,” said [Will] St. Clair, who had been working at a small firm in Chicago and joined the campaign at the suggestion of a friend. “They’d sigh and say, ‘You can do this as long as you stop doing it on Nov. 7.’ "

In other words, Silicon Valley is just making up the rules as they go along. Some large-scale data harvesting and social manipulation is okay until the election. Some of it becomes not okay in retrospect. They sigh and say okay so long as Obama wins. When Clinton loses, they effectively call a code red.

Quitting Facebook isn't as easy as it might seem. The same way as it's not easy to escape from the effects of smoking. Not because you can't, but there is always a chance of passive smoking.

So, as long as we have some relation with some society of which some one is connected, we will have some passive effects due to that.

Say like, if some one need to stop your car, they don't need to stop yours, but someone ahead of you.
Our legal and government system isn't directly analogous to, for example, the separation of powers that exists in the US.

The House of Commons consists of elected MPs, and forms our primary legislative body. The typical process is for legislation to originate in the Commons where it's brought forward by the government of the day, go through various stages where it bounces back and forth between the Commons and the House of Lords, and then become law when it receives royal assent. The latter is almost entirely a formality these days, and while the Lords can and routinely does propose amendments to laws and can delay laws it isn't happy with, ultimately the Commons can overrule them if it really wants to. Various other possibilities for originating legislation exist, but they are rarer, and the Commons still ultimately wins disagreements if it chooses to.

Our administrative/executive government is not independently elected, but rather a Prime Minister is selected to form it. The PM is almost always the leader of a party that can command the support of the Commons, either with an outright majority for their party in its own right or through some sort of coalition or other partnership agreement. Consequently, the PM is usually an MP themselves. They then select, normally from among MPs and Lords, other people to form a Cabinet and take on the various senior positions in the government. In principle, the holders of these posts are all servants of the Crown for traditional reasons, but again that is essentially a formality today.

Aside from its direct legislative duties, Parliament (the Commons and Lords) also conducts a lot of work in committees like the one we're talking about today; arguably, this is where most of the real work actually happens, since these committees often provide the detailed scrutiny of new proposed legislation within their field as well, but more generally the work of the committees may guide both legislation and the actions of the government (that is, the executive/administrative element led by the PM).

In short, MPs are really the heart of our system of government, and being awkward when a parliamentary committee invites you to attend is not going to end well.
What is difference between scripter and developer?
Recently I went to an interview for python developer. I didn't get the job and when I asked for feedback, they said it seems I am more like scripter.
I can write codes under framework and abstract business logic on top of libraries. When I look at my works, They seem to solve a lot of things but design is a bit flat. Usually I am alone doing project. It makes me quite hands on. However the bad part is I think I know it but each time I just take easy path which might not be best practice.
I think really hope to leap from scripter to developer. maybe working in a team helps. any advice is welcomed. Thanks!

So that's going to be a really interesting thing to watch. Technically, the answer to your question is no - GDPR has nothing to do with being in the EU, it has to do with being a citizen of the EU. So if you're an American who travels to the EU, your shadow profile might get tagged with being in the EU, but you're still not eligible for GDPR protections.

On the other hand, if you're an EU citizen living in the United States for the last 20 years (meaning, before the advent of Facebook), you technically have the right to request that all your data be deleted from Facebook's servers.

Now, how will you know if they have data on you? Can you just assume that they do and make the request anyway? Will tech companies begin verifying your citizenship to tell if GDPR really applies to you? We'll soon see.
Note that the FSF and the SF Conservancy have already been doing this, and recommending you do this, as part of their Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement.

https://www.fsf.org/licensing/enforcement-principles

> Community-oriented compliance processes should extend the benefit of GPLv3-like termination, even for GPLv2-only works.

> GPLv2 terminates all copyright permissions at the moment of violation, and that termination is permanent. GPLv3's termination provision allows first-time violators automatic restoration of distribution rights when they correct the violation promptly, and gives the violator a precise list of copyright holders whose forgiveness it needs. GPLv3's collaborative spirit regarding termination reflects a commitment to and hope for future cooperation and collaboration. It's a good idea to follow this approach in compliance situations stemming from honest mistakes, even when the violations are on works under GPLv2.

Bitcoin is aggressively used in dark net, drug dealing, zero day exploit selling, and is used by nationstates to hire and pay "plausibly deniable" contractors to attack NGO's and governments.

There was a period when people erroneously thought that bitcoin was anonymous and secure.

If the NSA was not working to track down the premiere currency of the dark web and of the nation state actors they work counterintelligence against, this would be dereliction of their duty.

This is like suggesting the FBI tracks down "USD" users. No duh, law enforcement and counterintelligence requires regulation of the financial systems in use. Any unregulated financial system is a hive of villainy and scum as a truism.
Apple wants to be a walled garden. Can't be a walled garden without walls: their self-interest and marketing direction lies elsewhere. Also, in the case of the iPhone, hardware is the product, and in the case of the app store, the devs and apps are the product (some of the time, anyway).

Not all GPL violations are done in bad faith. So in many cases, it is better to give offenders the ability to fix the problem rather than revoking their license perpetually. Scaring is not a great tactic, if you really want more people to use open source code.

Also, you mention missiles at their best are used as a deterrent. That might keep one nation safe, but is is still about spreading terror to others and tends to just fuel arms races.

Ads at their best (aka, furthest removed from propaganda) are about informing people of things they would otherwise not know about. Think, mom and pop sops, some new organization, or a science fair.

It's easy to paint things black and white, and there's a line that can be crossed in terms of tracking, optimization, and attempts to control the population/public opinion. IMHO though, I really do think engineers working on companies in the ad space are not as ethically removed as those working on machines meant to kill.

> I personally believe Toys R Us just missed an opportunity to run a proper business.

Toys R Us has been struggling to pay off $6 billion in debt from the Bain Capital takeover in 2005. They didn't have the capital or the margins to invest in maintaining their stores, let alone competing with Amazon.

Buying a company with debt and then forcing that company to pay off that debt is fairly common, but for some reason it surprises me that it's actually legal. Why isn't Bain forced to pay off the debts when the company goes under?

And a very crappy, stupid movie, b.t.w.

It is just a rehash of an old Hollywood cliché: "college is just sex and booze":

* A bus full of hot girls arriving to be used for sex

* A programming competition where the crowd cheers at each line of coded Python. The coders drink a shot to commemorate. Hint: try to program under alcohol influence.

* The hero hacks one site in one night when drunk and in 2 hours it crashes the network

* All nerds are socially inept and incapable of getting girlfriends but still Zuck has smart psychological insights about what the site needs to succeed.

* Teenagers outsmarting experienced lawyers with witty responses.

* Sex, booze and testosterone is what drives every man.

It's time to regulate Facebook (and the other social networks, like Twitter, Google Mail, Youtube, Whatsapp), like telcos in Germany.

For example, unless I commit crimes using my internet/phone uplink or stay behind more than 75€ on payment, my provider has no right to terminate my account given the importance for communications.

Facebook, Twitter and friends can decide to terminate my public handles and cut me off from communication with anyone without any legal way of recourse. This is not OK given their importance to modern communication.

As someone who has been in the private sector his whole life, and not had much experience with government/military work, it’s always fascinated me how often these projects end up way over budget, way WAY late, and fail to meet every requirement.

I’d love to understand how companies can win contract after contract and yet be so bad at delivering. Reading these articles feels like watching car accidents.

I'm not trying to make this political, but I've always found it ironic that people in Southwest cities who talk big about border walls not keeping people out very often live in communities or cities where every house being surrounded by a wall is the norm.

Again, this isn't about politics. It's about irony and how rich people in California often seem to say one thing and do another.

Polar (heart hate monitors) did pioneering work with HRV in the late 90's and their heart rate monitors have have a mode that HRV to to determine best heart rate limits for each exercise period for almost two decades.

Heart rate itself is a good indicator of stress. Aerobic training using HR limits helps to avoid overtraining (and undertraining). If you are stressed out in one day your HR is up and you exercise slower. HRV gives even more detailed information. HRV is high during a rest and starts to decrease when the heart works closer to maximum. Measuring HRV change during a rest and gradually increasing the level of exercise gives more info than HR alone.

It's trivial in the sense that it's low technical risk. I've not worked in the games for a while. At one company with an inhouse engine the rendering backend was initially DirectX9 written mostly by one person. He then implemented the Xbox360 backend. Another person did the backend for PS3 (OpenGL based). Don't have the exact timings it was ten years ago, but after the initial material, geometry lighting pipeline was done (and that's independent from the backend), the engine guy was never on the critical path.

They added Wii, DirectX10, iOS and Android backends while I was there. None of these were ever considered risky and none had more than one person working on it. Each console/platform has it's own quirks in how to optimise the scene for rendering but the having something rendering on screen is pretty much trivial once you have the machinery in place.

I can't speak for Epic, they are making an engine for every possible game and every possible rendering scene which is a harder problem than what we were doing. But the rendering backend isn't the hard part.

I don't know which one I'm more worried about. On the one side Facebook can track preferences and something akin to feelings closely, but on the other Google can track day-to-day activities much better.

If you've ever seen your Google activity log; that's very scary. The accuracy with which your phone can track your movement and where you are at every point in time is unprecedented. I'm very careful with what I allow 3rd parties to access but I can see a lot of users blindly accepting (like they did for this personality quiz that leaked all this Facebook info in the first place).

My point is that the appropriate debiasing is task-specific. You can completely eradicate bias one one task, but as soon as someone builds on top of your results, the bias is going to creep right back in, and likely to be worse due to the information loss in previous layers. If you just hand a bias-conscious developer a bunch of debiased word vectors with the implication that it will make their model less biased, I don't think that's really helpful. Like security, bias in machine learning needs to be addressed on the level of complete systems, it's not something you can leave to some simple input sanitizer.
