At the bottom of the study you see education is the most important factor in career success for your first job. About 7x more accurate than parent's income.
~9 generations hence it's hardly safe to say those predictions are bunk. We may have found some short-term patches, but conventional food production today is deleterious to soil stocks. We're hardly secure from the possibility of famine this century.
Insurance companies are already prevented by law from using methods which cannot be explained, so they will be fine.

I actually think that most ML will be fine, as the outcomes are trivial. The particular set of results that Google shows you on Google.com are not a decision about you, and I can't see those needing to be interpreted.

Anything more consequential (i.e. job hiring) probably will, but also has laws that prevent the use of indiscriminate data already.

So, I don't see this an issue.

No.

It may make it illegal, via the aggregate "right to explanation", to make decisions about people solely on the basis of machine learning models. That is, "we fed some data into a computer and it said 'no', so too bad" is not going to be a valid explanation.

That sounds like a fucking amazing outcome to me.
Pretty wild to me that David Chalmers' The Conscious Mind isn't included on this list.
Note that gRPC was created by Google but was contributed to CNCF last year. https://www.cncf.io/blog/2017/03/01/cloud-native-computing-f...

It's now being used by tons of different companies, including Google competitors like Microsoft Azure.

Would publishing a deep learning model on GitHub satisfy that requirement? You want to know how it makes decisions? Here you go!
I use this site pretty regularly to bootstrap reading about topics that I haven't much familiarity with. Even if the 5 books aren't the best, they're almost always enough so that I can direct my own continued reading. A great site for going from 0 to 1 in some topic, so to speak.
Stop using Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc if you care about privacy!
But what specific crimes were committed? Is it illegal for Russians to buy Facebook ads? Was it illegal for these researchers to harvest Facebook data and was there explicit laws preventing them from using that data in other ways? Certainly there is massive ethical issues but technically illegal?
It's easy to argue you are just rattling off buzzwords if you don't provide examples.

I would also argue that not based on a schema is even more brittle as you end up implementing validation logic and client marshalling that the schema would allow you to just generate.
Not to give too much away. But I think most of us use similar password methods, on top of whatever inlay password provider/manager you're using. e.g. Lastpass autogenerates, saves,syncs and fills. - https://helpdesk.lastpass.com/generating-a-password/
This is an important story, but a little difficult to summarize. Here's my attempt at an overview:

1. Google stores location history data for more of its mobile users than you might expect. The precision is greatest when GPS is on, but less precise data from cell towers and WiFi sources is used almost any time a Google app is being used on an Android or non-Android phone. There have been cases in the past where Google has recorded such information even when the user has explicitly turned off all location services, but Google says they have stopped this practice.

2. On multiple recent occasions, police in North Carolina have quietly been successful in obtaining search warrants that force Google to turn over these records. Rather than "standard" search warrants asking for the location of a particular suspect in a crime, these "reverse" or "area based" warrants ask for time and location data for all users who have entered a geographical area during a time of interest. The records returned are initially anonymous account numbers, and the police then make followup requests for identifying information of the subset of accounts that they think are of interest to the case.

3. This open-ended "drag net" approach scares some people. Typically, at least in the US, suspects are identified first, and then further information is gathered that confirms or removes the suspicion. The express fear seems to be that innocent people will be falsely accused due to coincidence, but there is also a more general fear that once mechanisms are in place that allow the police to have easy access to location tracking information, this information will end up being abused.
GDPR has teeth.

While some outfits may blithely whistle past the graveyard - do you want to become the precedent that starts paying the % of revenue fine for non-compliance?
Don't act all snarky when someone says the only way not to be tracked is to not carry a phone. It's pretty close to being true, and you don't know if hitting the software switch to turn off your GPS really turns it off or if it goes into a low power mode where it only updates your position every five minutes- this is not unheard of to keep the time to fix low for when a person turns location services back on.

As mentioned in the article, Google was previously caught tracking people even when they had location, data, and Wi-Fi turned off. We just have to take their word now that they don't do it anymore, and the word of a big profit driven corporation that has been implicated in PRISM and previously tracked people isn't worth too much.

Furthermore, even if Google doesn't track you the cell phone companies still know which tower your cell phone was connected to, so they know your location within three miles at all times. It's not as precise as GPS info, but the police could still ask the cell phone companies to give them a list of phone accounts that were visible to a specific set of cell phone towers at a particular set of times.
This is dumb but not that dumb.

The method is (mostly) fine given most people's threat model. It solves password reuse and the generated passwords are resistant to dumb brute force. You lose a lot of entropy if people know the method or even know that characters are more likely to be pulled from the domain name but given a good enough seed (the article has seven characters) you are still generally fine.

If you are high value target it is obviously awful since you are worth the time for a human to reverse the pattern and break your other passwords.

The real reason this is dumb is because it doesn't allow you to change your password, not because your passwords have lower entropy.
The usury slur is literally centuries old. It originated from the time when Christians were forbidden from charging interest. Over time it morphed into the stereotype that Jews are greedy and money grubbing. You probably have noticed the upswing in anti-Semitic sentiment related to the rise of Trump, take Charlottesville with the torch lit March with chants of "Jews will not replace us". Things are a good deal worse in Europe, it EAS exceedingly clear what the poster was referring to.
Since collisions between two objects are symmetric (object one colliding with object two is the same event as object two colliding with object one) there are n(n-1)/2 possible collisions. The guy's probably short handing this as O(n^2), which is the important relationship as he's motivating the example by the need to handle collisions between large numbers of particles in hair, and modeling hair with as large a number of separate elements as possible is probably the key to realistic simulation.
Which may actually reduce costs and increase consumer choice, their stated goal of this whole imitative. Somehow I don't expect that to be one of the cut regulations.
I fail to observe the difference between simulating a human mind on a computer and on a synaptic network. Why would a program run differently depending on the underlying hardware? (assuming sufficiently faithful simulation as opposed to some approximation)

That was an insanely long article that I don't want to read carefully, so I'm not gonna refute it, but I'll just say that as a Korean citizen I have absolutely no problem believing that "Korean workplace culture" inside Korean Air contributed to these accidents.

Yes, sure, if anyone claims that such a workplace culture is an inherent, inseparable part of Korean culture, then that's bollocks. But most people aren't saying that. We're just saying that there's a hierarchical culture problem widespread in Korea, right now. Which is absolutely true.

For a less tragic and more comical example of what the culture is like in Korean Air, look up the "Peanut turnaround incident" of 2014 (땅콩회항) which earned Korean Air the memorable nickname of "Peanut Air" (땅콩항공).

(...the nuts were actually macadamia nuts, but "Macadamia Nut Air" doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely.)

Let's say Tesla does go bankrupt. What would happen next? Would GM acquire it? Could they fix the production issues?

Also, would that endanger Musk's other projects? I seem to remember he's pretty leveraged in Tesla, but I assume financially each company is separate?

The issues you give make sense when your datastructure grows very large or contains hash-unfriendly data, but it seems a plain hash table would still be appropriate in day-to-day scenarios. A simple int→int mapping is very fast in a hash table, and even string keyed hash tables are near unbeatable if you can reliably cache the hashes. The cases Radix trees win seem fairly small, as do the times you need incremental resizing.

>Obviously if you're at 10K feet, and ask to get out, reasonably the airline cannot comply. But if you're sitting on the tarmac of an airport, there's no reasonable argument for why they cannot de-board people after a two or three hour delay. It fails the reasonableness test.

Here's a quote, I found, describing the 2009 Rochester incident. The flight was re-routed due to thunderstorms, landed at 1230AM, and the airport was closed. With the airport closed and thunderstorms, I wonder if safety was a concern.

> Continental Express Flight 2816 was en route from Houston to Minneapolis carrying 47 passengers when thunderstorms forced it to divert to Rochester, where it landed about 12:30 a.m. The airport was closed and Mesaba Airlines employees — the only airline employees at the airport at the time — refused to open the terminal for the stranded passengers.[...]In the morning they were allowed to disembark. They spent about two and a half hours inside the terminal before reboarding the same plane to complete their trip to Minneapolis.

The reported levels are about double the EPA's treatment technique maximum -- and that's for water sitting in the boiler for 8-12 hours.

So considering 1) it's 2x, not 10x or 1,000x, 2) a double espresso is only ~60 ml, and if you ingest 3L of water per day it makes up only 2% of your daily liquid, and 3) for most people getting a coffee from a shop, the water will be sitting in the boiler for minutes, not fractions of days...

Regardless of the whatever the GDPR actually says and even if ML is a complete black box, I would be very happy at least knowing my input features to ML algorithms.

e.g. If I'm denied a loan, I want to learn the various "facts" about me that led to the ML coming up with the denial. Then I can fact-check it (e.g. "actually I don't already have $X of debt") and come up with an appeal.
Here's this article in a format that makes no noise:

The WSJ article it refers to is called "Tesla’s Make-Or-Break Moment Is Fast Approaching":

The CNBC article it refers to is called "Tesla employees say automaker is churning out a high volume of flawed parts requiring costly rework":

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/14/tesla-manufacturing-high-vol...
Interesting rule. Do you know why that is? Is there some implied level of familiarity with coworkers?
But unfortunately it's very easy to find a way around it:
Make all decisions based on ML models, and only when a customer manages to go through the bureaucratic, expensive process of requesting an explanation, have a human review the case and come up with a plausible reason.

It's definitely a whole lot better than not having that law, but we're not quite there yet.
Personally, I think many people and organizations currently exaggerate the possible changes and risks (for companies) brought on by the GDPR, often with the goal to instill fear (and generate business) or get press coverage.

The relevant article (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-22-gdpr/) clearly states that automated decision making is allowed under the GDPR, it just gives the data subject the right to demand a manual assessment of that decision. In practice, this means that you're absolutely free to use any kind of automated algorithm (AI-based or not) to make decisions on individuals, but if people complain and demand an explanation you need to review the decision manually.

Addendum: If you want to learn more about the motivations behind article 22 as well as articles 13 & 14 (that concern the transparency requirements), I highly recommend the official document of the Article 29 working party:

A lot of these are vastly less dangerous than the use of tetraethyl lead in gasoline or other forms in which significant quantity can be easily taken up by the body (e.g. the old white lead carbonate paint pigment).

While it's reasonable to be extra careful with small children that might put decorations in their mouth, small amounts of lead in vinyl products (or more significant amounts in machined brass products) do not necessarily result in significant dosage in people who handle or use those products.
No, we're projecting Donald Trump onto a hypothetical Roman politician imagined in 2009 by Ugo Bardi the Oil Drum writer, due to the coincidental and quite obvious similarity of their "wall" platforms, including both the expense and the futility, as well as the fact that both are set in empires collapsing under their own weight. Is it so hard to see?
There is a base assumption not stated here: that the platform's UI is superior.

Mostly I'd agree. And there are undeniable benefits to supporting what other apps support, which is typically biased towards the platform's stuff.

It's not at all inherent though (TV controls are frequently utter garbage, for example). And the various dimensions of "better" don't always optimize for what the user or dev wants.

I think that's easily demonstrated as not true: when I search for something like `luigi` in a regular window, I get the github link 1st. When I search for it in an anonymous window the github link is 3rd. Try it for yourself with a technical term that also has a common non-technical meaning.

Password management remains a big problem for people, who tend to blame themselves for the trouble they find in remembering passwords.

Giving them tools, however unwieldy, doesn’t seem terrible to me?
