Com'on. The internet and web when they started were a wild wild west that operated on the honor system. Most people were just starting to feel their way around what kinds of businesses could even exist on it. The Morris Worm was the canary in the coal mine about how the honor system wouldn't scale.

EU startups are no different than US startups, we just have more of them, there is a greater concentration of investment in that area here.

Raspberry Pi? It was unaffected [https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/why-raspberry-pi-isnt-vulne...].
I was a TA for a freshman college class that would deliberately give homework assignments on things not covered in lectures. We were told to direct the students to resources that would help them learn these things, but not teach them directly. You should have heard the wailing and gnashing of teeth! The general consensus among those students a few years later was that they were glad for the wake-up call: most things you'll have to learn are not entirely handed to you in class, and the sooner you learn to get on with your life in such a world, the better off you are.

(We down-weighted those assignments in the grading, of course, so that people with GPA requirements for scholarships didn't suffer.)
This is a good perspective. We have been conditioned to think of content marketing as only one thing, regularity. But since most posters agree that one great article can pull all the business, it might be worth asking whether we should be going for one big article versus the steady stream approach.

I think I would prefer the one big article, every month or so, to the pressure to put out "something" every week...

Do you also argument against mandatory seatbelts? All they do is drive the cost of cars up. The justice system that works to enforce the laws brings the taxes up should we get rid of it too?
There was no right-turning car. The uber car was going straight. The woman in the other car (making the left turn) argued they had their right signal on, but it's not apparent if there's any evidence to corroborate that. Uber has stated that the car's left turn signal was on to indicate an upcoming lane change

But again this is something I heard from other people so I guess I will give it a bit more deeper thinking.
Everything there might be true. Everything might also be false. It might be cheaper to start a business because PPI information will be handled properly from the start and not be a cost centre. This might increase new business viability.

Maybe there are no "costs". Just benefits and benefits?

That should mostly apply to other languages. Only the pip/import parts differ, and those generally have straightforward counterparts since most package management systems these days are pretty similar.
these "plus codes" sound sort of like a DNS system because humans are not good at remembering or typing purely numerical coordinates. For example decimal degrees in a common system:

48.756071,-122.482410

(a randomly chosen location in Bellingham, WA)

in WGS84 datum decimal degrees, six decimal places is accurate to about 0.11 meter, which is close enough for pretty much any human land navigation needs, and considerably better than the actual accuracy of a modern GPS+GLONASS+WAAS receiver.

if you really want to be super accurate for navigation purposes go for seven decimal places. Anything beyond seven is in the range of high precision GIS/surveying tool needs only.

https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/8650/measuring-accur...

so the question is how to take a string of lat/long coordinates such as the one above for bellingham and turn them into some sort of geographical code which humans can remember and type. Sort of like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What3words

the commentary elsewhere in this thread on the private, proprietary nature of what3words is quite valid. I'm not saying that this specific implementation is the best possible idea, but that the general idea of geocoding numbers into a consistent word-based system is something that is more easily remembered and written down by ordinary humans who do not interact with IP addresses and long strings of numbers on a daily basis.

try to remember a full ipv6 address vs. remembering a DNS hostname, for example.
Yeah but how much did your client pay to get that ranking, now many years of blogging, etc. You have to take into account all the people who also tried but failed. One successful example does not prove it's worthwhile.

Fair enough, although how is this different from other laws? If laws were obvious, there'd be no lawyers or judges.

And if you've tried to comply with the law, but unintentionally fail to handle some edge-case with low impact, the sanctions are pretty light (e.g. a warning letter). It's not draconian, as long as you don't cut corners.

One other thing worth mentioning is the obsession of funders with hypothesis-driven research. They do this out of defensiveness to justify spending, but in the long term, it reinforces a daisy-chain of stale ideas and a selection bias that distorts data to adhere to popular models.
It's basically the equivalent of clothed mannequin displays for boutiques and shops.

People are window shopping a lot of Japan for their food options, oweing to the very high walkability, density of shops esp inside department stores and airports and the like, and high overall average quality of shops where very rarely will you have a terrible experience, making people more willing to step into ships with very little prior vetting. So when your customers are window shopping, these serve to tempt and posture their interest to step foot in the store.

>I don't know about this. Is a teleporter a vehicle?

Depends on your definition on vehicle. For many purposes (e.g. going somewhere) it could be, especially if it also existed.

Subtyping just means "having a taxonomy of things, where we can substitute things lower on the taxonomy -- more concrete, more specialized and so on" with things higher up when wanting less abstraction (and vise versa).

And this is pretty much the case with the world -- Plato's "ideas", scientific taxonomies (e.g. of animals and plants), or RDF and semantic taxonomies, and so on are all based on the same concept.

(That doesn't mean they're perfect descriptions of the world, like our class taxonomies in OOP don't lead to perfect descriptions of most problem domains either).

>What about a vehicle which doesn't have wheels, in a world built around assuming that vehicles have wheels?

That's a problem of definition of what should belong in the class of things we call "vehicle" (and you could have the exact same questions when doing OOP).

As such it's not an argument in whether the real world has or doesn't have subtyping.
You always need to parse statements like this very carefully. Pretty much any other company who isn't providing your information to others says "we do not share your data with unaffiliated entities..."

Facebook said that they don't sell your information. Which is true -- they aren't a data broker. But they implicitly state that your data is shared, subject to the limited controls available. You cannot stop Amazon and Facebook from sharing, for example.

Deep Learning | 1-1.5 hrs a day | Mail/Phone
cheap consumer electronics can be assembled in a method with screws intended to be used once into a plastic cylindrical receiving part (injection molded usually). The screws have a certain sort of spiral to them that you don't see with screws intended to be repeatedly installed and removed. On the cheapest stuff, removing the screw once and then reinstalling it can result in the clamshell assembly of the upper and lower injection molded parts becoming permanently loose... One example would be a "modern" humidifier such as you can buy at Target that is never intended to be repaired or disassembled.

> Socially integrating yourself with other successful people in your classes and degree program will dramatically increase your chances of success.

I strongly agree with this claim, but I think it's the kind of thing that only works when it comes about naturally, or at least when the motivation to set up this dynamic comes from within. I disagree with your suggestions to bring this about.

> requiring students to live in dorms with students taking the same classes.

I think this could be nice for some people if it were opt-in (especially those who struggle socially), but overall being exposed to people from other disciplines is a feature of college, not a bug. Most of the people in your classes will already be from the same discipline, so it is important to be exposed to people who study other things in your social life, imo.

> mandatory weekly study sessions for every class

I really dislike this. People have wildly varying learning styles and you should not impose a specific format on them. I have issues processing auditory information, and I can learn 2-4x faster just reading the textbook than I can from a verbal discussion or lecture. If you force me to attend these, you are making me spend my time suboptimally. Also, while such a session can be highly productive for a small group of bright, motivated students, the whole thing slows to a crawl when it is inevitably forced to cater to the lowest common denominator.

> industry partnerships to get students internships with real world experience during the summer.

I think this could be a good thing, as long as the company isn't obligated to offer every student an internship. In that case the lowest common denominator issue applies.

Blows my mind at times when I talk to a math major in the U.S. with little to no knowledge of graph theory. Also the abstract algebra exposure seems to be kind of restricted -- for instance Math 120 at Stanford (Groups and Rings) is highly suggested but not required.
It seems to be will-power and a true desire to lose and keep off weight. Lifestyle is your own choice. I've worked across a broad range of industries in my working life.

Manual labor and being young was by far the easiest to stay thin. Age and a happily married software engineer doing side startups doesn't contribute to being thin.

The solution that has worked for me has been to make meal plans with my wife every Friday night. We shop Saturday morning (pre crowded) and we cook from home and take lunches while working in 10k steps and physical exercise with free weights (I also do stairs every hour at my regular job).

When I stick to my goals, weight comes off, muscle goes on. When I don't, weight gains are fast and the negative consequences are more irritating as I age.

tl;dr; Will power and a real desire to be healthy is what it takes.
Great quote made back in 2009 "I can see the politicians of the time running on a platform that said, "Keep the barbarians out! More walls to defend the empire"."

"As things stands, we seem to be blithely following the same path that the Roman Empire followed. Our leaders are unable to understand complex systems and continue to implement solutions that worsen the problem. As the wise druid was trying to tell to Marcus Aurelius, building walls to keep the barbarians out was a loss of resources that was worse than useless. "

According to the article this was a 4 lane road, and she was in the furthest lane to the left of the Uber driver. The Uber driver was in furthest right lane, with a left turn signal on, preparing to change lanes.

So, she cut across two lanes to crash into oncoming traffic. I'm not sure of the Pittsburgh driving laws, but generally you're supposed to get into your left-most lane before taking a left.

I don't think she has a hope in court, especially since Uber definitely has high quality records of everything that occurred.

The European outbreak was probably caused by feeding contaminated protein supplements to cattle. It affected quite a few more people than the contaminated dura mater grafts in Japan.
Exactly this, and it works even if you know what the company's intention is by hosting a blog. I'm pretty hostile towards email marketing companies but came away with a positive impression of one such company after reading their blog.

Thank you very much. The first reason is that I program exclusively using functional programming. That said, the choice is somehow limited. I have very good experiences with Elixir. Statelessly streaming uncritical data to a client is a perfect fit for Erlang's/Elixir's "let-it-fail"-paradigm. If the web-socket crashes server-side just let the supervisor respawn it one-for-one, there is no permanent state. I hope that makes sense.

> so what does it cost to build and maintain the necessary backup generation capacity to weather a 30-minute outage?

Tesla's install at the Hornsdale Power Reserve [1] is 129 MW of storage capable of discharging at 100MW. This could supply power for far more than 30 minutes if an outage occurs. Estimated cost is $50 million, which appears to be roughly the same cost as this manufacturing failure, so there's a middle ground to be found.

> What GDPR does is forcing business to make privacy their core concern.

Not really. It will mostly be a problem for companies which use a lot of SaaS services with no on-premise solution and companies in the business of selling their users data. Not gonna shed a lot of tears for those.
Most laws aren't so far reaching and the vast majority in terms of regulatory scope have been flushed out. These same issues do happen with any new broad far reaching regulations. This is one of the first that is both a significant increase in regulatory burden and that deals with, ostensibly, the global tech market.

Also, the fines here can be real money, which also isn't often the case. That plus the lack of clarity are why people are concerned about it.

Basically they're worried that you can do everything right and still be wrong because everything isn't well defined and is very difficult to define.

>Is having a blog alongside my website clever marketing or just a waste of my time?

I used to blog all the time, but that was back when blogs were just a way for people to communicate things they were interested in, not primarily a means of marketing. Just do it - if you enjoy it, keep doing it, if you don't, stop.

Chances are if it's just for marketing purposes, and unless you care enough and are at least a decent enough writer to be engaging, then it's not going to get a lot of readers anyway, because you won't be writing anything worth reading.

So to me, the question you should be asking yourself isn't whether it would be a clever way to market the app, but whether or not you want to blog.
Apple already had a bounty in the same ball park pretty much 0 takers.
Good. Stop casually aerosolizing information about your customers all over the cloud, and ignoring employees casually copying live databases here there and everywhere.
The offer is limit to bugs that are not already known to Microsoft or their partners, and they are not disclosing what these bugs are, and they are making no claim to have fixed them. I made a submission to Intel and others weeks after some were claiming to have mitigated this with small reductions in timer resolution, showing that the timer mitigation would not stop these vulnerabilities, no one would pay out, said they were already aware of it, have they informed the public, have they withdrawn their product, have their transitioned their user base to safer products??? No one is going to hand over their well documented exploits under such terms. Let them offer twice the reward for public disclosures of issues that they already know and have not fixed or not warned the public about, and then we might take their offer seriously.
> We should be asking why even an authorized API that can't stop you from copying the data doesn't count as a systemetized data breach.

Is your argument that no company should offer any developer APIs at all? It's impossible to stop apps from storing data that they have access to, given malicious intent.

This is like saying that the existence of the Google Calendar API is a "systemetized data breach" because an app could copy data from it once authorized by a user.
