Maybe my memory of the event is faulty or maybe the concerns were exaggerated at the time, but I'm fairly sure at least one of the buildings exploded due to hydrogen build up. Which isn't reassuring when it happens to a building housing radioactive material. Particularly when the safety measures were demonstrably insufficient.

Sure it's easy to conclude things may have been safe in hindsight, but you can't base decisions on hindsight.

Similarly I've never heard anyone argue that we shouldn't take such stringent safety measures around unexploded ordnance, even though I've never heard of any occasion where evacuating the surrounding area was necessary in hindsight.

Interesting. I hadn't used that. Thanks!
As long as science continues to be funded by corporations, we will always have this problem of getting results biased towards the corporations. I wonder what else can be used to fund scientific research if not the government?
They stopped most data access via apps in the 2014 clean up they did.

But yes, you are right that I’m sure lots of apps kept that data and sold it.
In some circles it was never a negative term to begin with. In other circles it will remain a negative term forever, regardless of what you do.

One interesting consequence of the Internet is that we're becoming very aware that for every label you could ascribe to yourself, there is some group out there who holds a deep, visceral hate for that label, so deep that they wish you would just cease to exist. I guess this was probably the case beforehand, but without instantaneous global communication, you generally weren't aware of the people who hated you. I remember that when I was growing up, terms like "American", "patriotic", "tolerant", and "generous" were unambiguously good, but now for each of those there is some group who considers them a dog-whistle for people they despise.

Not necessary! Many CPU architectures and implementations were created by academic institutions, so nationalisation of this industry should be considered a possibility.

The degree to which the Romans relied on barbarians in later years for their own defense was quite significant -- and they rarely afforded barbarians full citizenship.
Caps in series lower the overall capacitance (like resistors in parallel) , but raise the energy stored. Try putting 3 or 4 of the 10x caps in series (for 3.3x and 2.5x capacitance respectively).
I don't know why you're being downvoted - the analogy to modern politics they are trying to push is hilariously bad. Are we really blaming the Romans for not supplicating the Goths and then getting massacred by them, leading to a 1000 year technological stagnation? Are we really trying to project Donald Trump onto Marcus Aurelius? You've got to be kidding me.
The reason I used the example of a gambling website is precisely because the US has history of prosecuting the operators of non-US websites for allowing US residents to join. There's nothing in UK law that says they can't let Americans bet. Didn't stop US authorities arresting several bosses of EU gambling websites. If you do a bit more research you'll learn that the US uses extra-territorial jurisdiction more than anyone.

Who do you believe is discovering a 30 year old term here?

You claimed that that blog post "rehabilitates" the term. I'm saying that the general beliefs that the author describes are well-trod ground within neoliberalism. He's describing himself as a third way neoliberal with slightly more libertarian tendencies.

Have you heard of the Adam Smith Institute?

It is a neoliberal think-tank and over the years many of its policies have been adopted by the UK.

That blog post was written by the executive director.

It'd be more impressive without the credentials because it reads like a random blogger.

Are you aware that the meanings they're assigning to the term, is actually in line with what was meant when it was first used at the Walter Lippmann Colloquium in 1938?

His blog post mentioned rejecting dogmatism. Calling back to 1938 as the "real definition" is very dogmatic. Since then the 1980s through 2016 have happened in the US, all associated with neoliberalism.

Just saying, like the other post, that a blog post and a Reddit post with 120 upvotes hardly change the general meaning of a term.
This is great !

I'm curious how does it perform in comparison of neo4j. Especially in memory usage.
Look at the posts there, it's people having fun with people who identity as neoliberal without any sense of irony. Neoliberal is a dirty word among pretty much every group of contemporary politically minded folks.
Participation by elites in a group that might at one point have had negative connotations is a sign of it being rehabilitated.
It's kind of a catch-22 though, who other than the relevant industry has the money and interest to do an in-depth study on relatively minor and long term effects? Goes for 'positive' studies like coffee as well as negative ones like BPA.

We've got to find a way to vet studies on their merits regardless or in spite of the conflicts of interest that are funding them.
I've seen that people start off gofundme's or the like when they need some financial support with an urgent unexpected issue. People are happy to help and contribute, sometimes even if they are complete strangers. I've read someone say it was because people want to know who is getting their support. Maybe if it was possible to easily support research similarly, then people might pitch in?
I didn’t ask you a question, I made a statement about you persistently attacking the strawman of “I can do what I want” when what’s been presented over and over is an ethical argument. You still seem to be (intentionally?) ignoring the difference between permissible, and ethical.

You’re free to ignore or reject the ethical dimension of your work, but there is a word for that you can’t talk your way out of: unethical.
My brother was diagnosed with ADHD and subsequently formed an addiction to the medication at a young age. It is uncertain how he would have done with out it, but he dreamed of joining the military and was denied entry being unable to come off the medication. Between bad grades and ADHD medication doing it over he would have chosen bad grades.
That's not enough: as long as you're storing an EU citizen's data you're liable to GDPR, it's not something you can disclaim your way out of.

It's pretty clear. You are selling in the UK so the revenue would be taxed there. Post-brexit the French customer will pay customs duty.

The Google ad revenue will be paid by Google based on the market. So the ad run in France generates EU revenue. Doesn't matter if the payor was an American or anyone else.

If you are US citizen then you pay world wide income tax. You can deduct foreign taxes paid up to a limit. Better to actually incorporate though so you can pay less tax.
I don't want to get into the particulars of this single wreck.

But it does make me think that we're going to need some new laws as we adapt to a mixed use on the roads:

1. The self-driving car & its operating company must retain all sensor and video data. No "oops we lost it" when going to court.

2. There has to be some way for the human driver to know what legal entity is operating the car. It's pretty easy to imagine driverless hit-and-run accidents.

3. Human drivers have to be able to get insurance information from the automated vehicle. (I have no idea how! But humans are able to work out an ad-hoc protocol to exchange insurance info on the spot. Automated vehicles would need to have something predefined.)

Basically, _when_ an accident occurs, the human and the human's insurance company has to have some way to connect with the insurance company of the automated car and its operator.
do you understand how this data ended up in CA's hands? Regular facebook app asked persmission to get data to it's users, one by one. It then retained the data and shared without facebook or their users permission (and against FB terms). Then facebook realized this data was shared, required CA to delete all of it. CA agreed. CA didn't delete. That's how we are here

I'm no facebook fan by the way, but there's no reason for facebook to sell their most important asset when they can allow you to pay to use it, without ever seeing it
I think we pretty much do this already by charging for waste removal. If you throw things away, you pay more. And certain things cost more to throw away like lithium batteries.

So the tax is on the tail end rather than front loaded.

> The 3% tax isn't being implemented because it's the best system. It's being done because tech giants have consistently weaseled their way around the normal way of taxing businesses by fiddling with transfer prices and corrupting governments.

No, they admit it's not the best system, that's why they claim it is short-term only. The best system would be an international treaty to harmonize corporate taxes.

>Are you also arguing for either an internet government to do internet wide taxation, or a ban on commercial use of the internet?

I'm arguing you should be taxed for the actual business you do. If I make a dollar because I sold an ad to a local company in the EU because they wanted to reach a customer in the EU, fine. That's a rational tax law. It's not rational to tax for business done elsewhere, sold to people elsewhere, for customers elsewhere, to be counted. Spotify is an EU company, do you think the US should tax them based on global European subscriber revenue?

Is internet wide taxation a bad idea? Not necessarily, but it's impractical because whose going to vote on how to distribute the revenues? Who's going to collect, ICANN/ISOC? At best you could come with a cross-regional harmonization of tax regions and agreed upon treaty on how those rates are calculated, but it is up to localities to impose and collect them.

> In this hypothetical scenario Google/Facebook/Twitter lose all their actual European clients, the advertisers. It's easy for the European states to just block the few relevant financial flows, there's no need for a Great Firewall for the users.

Really? How would they do that. It's easy to block purchasing physical goods online and have customs block it. How do you block virtual goods? Block payment processing systems? Foreign bank transfers? Bitcoin? Does the EU prosecute a local business for buying ads on Google or Facebook using a foreign bank account?

I mean, the barrier to buying stuff online, especially purely digital goods, is very low.

If companies with hundreds of billions on the line can figure out how to restructure themselves to avoid taxes, you don't think they can figure out how to restructure themselves to avoid this tax? Google and FB might just decide to pay it, but firms with less EU profits might decide it's not worth it and look for mechanisms around it.

Early stage research still costs a lot of money. You won’t raise $200k from a bunch of individuals like a go fund me; and individuals are probably not the best at judging the impact and merit of proposals.

We need an overhaul of the way research is funded, but I don’t think asking everyday individuals to fund is the right way.

I don't talk about extremists.

The term itself was hardly known/in use to the general public before the crash 2008 and occupy. Since then it was only known as basically a different word for greed.

As another commenter (who obviously decided to delete his comment) wrote here, I also doubt that a re-branding will ever be successful. It's not like coming up with a new term in economy is something hard to do.
This is hardly news... Facebook ads cannot target specific users, they only target audience segments.

It's actually far easier to create ads targeted at segments with likely political beliefs, and Marketers have access to aggregate numbers of niche segments today.

There's no need to scrape people's profiles or get down to the individual level.
> It collects the most highly protected data category, political views

It collects user comments and posts. What you post to this website is entirely under your own control, and there is plenty of opportunity to meaningfully participate here while offering not much more than technical opinions.

Furthermore, none of the information you post here needs to be personally identifiable, under the definition of the GDPR. It is identified by a username, which can be completely arbitrary and unique. You could even use a new one for every post you make.
Participation by elites in neoliberalism was the reason why the term has a negative connotation in the first place...
It is true that there are some very high performance NFS systems out there, throughput optimized like Isilon, and some IOPS optimized like Tintri. A lot of enterprise virtualization systems store their VM disks on NFS and seem to perform decently.

But in a general sense, when I've seen suggestions to use NFS, it hasn't been the correct solution. Like a system that is designed to run on a single server, and someone wants to make it active-active HA by pointing two servers at the same data over NFS. No, that won't work. Or the high IOPS system, and someone wants to move it to a throughput optimized NFS service. Or the team the decided it was a good idea to log from multiple servers to a single file over NFS, and then complained that their log messages were not being written in order. Or having multiple web servers (HA!) serve media off a single NFS server.

In this specific case, if someone is maximizing IOPS per server, it probably isn't a good idea to use a single large volume exported via NFS and share it across them. Max IOPS for gp2 volumes is 10,000, for io1 it is 32,000. Sharing a single 10,000 IOPS volume across a bunch of servers isn't going to get you a bunch of 10,000 IOPS volumes.

Based on my experience, I instinctively question the use of NFS, it is so rarely the right solution in a cloud environment. Sometimes it is the right solution, I'm just saying it is pretty rare.
of course they do! what magical kingdom of the future do you think you're living in, where economic ends have no bearing on survival?! your business on the brink succeeds or fails; a personal relationship blossoms or sours. sure, we mustn't rely too much one any one thing going a certain way on these kinda things that data sharing or Google Analytics can impact. but in aggregate these factors have significant bearing on one's access to medical, nutritional, & fitness resources & technology, even will to live, thus they do drive life or death outcomes all the same.
Maybe it was the medication you were on but my medication most definitely greatly improved my ability to focus and actually reduced my anxiety. But like I said we could have been on different medication, have different body chemistries, etc.
That's a copout when I asked your opinion. You claimed to be a nationalist, I assume you voted for Trump as well. I'm trying to gauge how much I should continue debating or whether it's dogmatic.

I could be convinced the EU has a right to do this, in the context of other things, but to me it seems the wrong way to go about closing corporate loopholes and it hurts businesses that aren't Google and Facebook more than it hurts the big tech companies. This "punishment" ultimately will harm more than it helps, that's my contention. I see no compelling argument otherwise.
A lot of blog articles out there = fluffy content on topics tangentially related to the product or service.

Instead of blog articles per se, I'd recommend creating high value resource articles on topics people who'd benefit from your app may search for. For example, if you offer a goal progress app, people with interest may search for resources on 'long-term strategies to boost productivity that you won't give up after a few days'.

High value = it should provide a comprehensive breakdown of the topic and cover points the top ranking articles on the same topic don't. This will boost your article's search rankings and help it attract more backlinks and social shares.

You can also offer a PDF download of the resource in exchange for an email address so you can nurture these leads.

Examples of these resource articles:

Sure, that's true. It's a different subject. If one's country allows a foreign system to operate outside of it's own legal system, it's about as strong of a sign as I can think of that the people do not actually control their government.

As a US citizen, I am strongly against our interference in other countries, but even if/when we fix that, it wont matter if the root problem is not fixed, since another outside power could do the same thing.

Just to make super explicit why this isn't even a little bit okay, there's a very sordid history of corporations influencing research (even federal research).

Before lead was put into gasoline two health studies were conducted by the government, but the relevant industries (including DuPont) had influence over the research. Both studies found leaded gasoline was totally safe. Low and behold it reduced the IQ of an entire generation around 3 points (best estimate).

Obviously alcohol isn't as damning as lead, but if funded research can declare lead safe it seems like it could conclude anything.

>No, they admit it's not the best system, that's why they claim it is short-term only. The best system would be an international treaty to harmonize corporate taxes.

"No" to what? You're just agreeing with what I said. An international treaty would be a much better solution but we're dealing with companies that have already corrupted several European governments, let's not pretend getting something as grandiose as that passed wouldn't be extremely hard.

>I'm arguing you should be taxed for the actual business you do. If I make a dollar because I sold an ad to a local company in the EU because they wanted to reach a customer in the EU, fine. That's a rational tax law. It's not rational to tax for business done elsewhere, sold to people elsewhere, for customers elsewhere, to be counted. Spotify is an EU company, do you think the US should tax them based on global European subscriber revenue?

Other people have already explained that this is not what is on the table. The proposal is to tax at 3% the percentage of the revenues that pertain to EU users, not users elsewhere.

>Really? How would they do that. It's easy to block purchasing physical goods online and have customs block it. How do you block virtual goods? Block payment processing systems? Foreign bank transfers? Bitcoin? Does the EU prosecute a local business for buying ads on Google or Facebook using a foreign bank account?

Yes to all your questions. And the fact that this is escalating is exactly why you should be in favor of proposals to quickly end this exploitation of tax laws by tech giants. Otherwise the internet as we know it is in danger.
> Financial services is an industry struggling with a burden of legacy systems, and even paper-based processes still. This one GDPR provision alone is causing much expense and heartache.

That's a good thing. If it's causing much expense and heartache it means that our private data wasn't being handled with the necessary care and attention to value that it needed to be.

That post rehabilitated neoliberalism. There is now a community of people that use the term this way. Many have tens of thousands of followers on Twitter. Memes are created by its fans. CEOs of huge startups drop-in to do AMAs, etc.

To say that there has been no change in how the term is used or perceived over the last few years is utterly ridiculous.
