I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's actually cheaper for smaller businesses to properly handle personal data than it is for big ones. Big ones tend to have much bigger, more complex data systems that require complicated oversight and governance, and are presumably much more likely to engage in risky behaviors like dumping stuff into a data lake.

This might have an outsize impact on startups that deal primarily in data about people. I'm actually pretty OK with that. Some kinds of activities really should have high barriers to entry.

It also requires you explain the logic of any algorithmic decision you make.

I.e. If you use any sort of machine learning model, such as a neural network, you have to be able explain every decision it makes. Given that there's currently no know method to fully explain the outcome of a neural network decision, GDPR would apparently make it illegal for any EU business to use a neural network in any user facing capacity.

GDPR advocates answer to this seems to be that, while the regulations might read as such, it hasn't actually been tested in court yet and, who knows, maybe whatever judge it eventually comes up with will decide to keep neural networks legal!

So, if you're a company using machine learning in Europe, you just have to wait a few months and keep an eye on court news to determine if you entire strategy is permitted or not. Thank God for the stability and confidence provided to businesses by the single market!
I'm kind of glad this sort of thing didn't exist when I was in high school. I'd have "borrowed" a teacher's ipad and started searching for child porn on their browser.

When I was in high school, my history teacher complained that he wrote down "caracas" (the city) as his password on some form for the IT people, but they entered his password as "carcass", assuming that he'd spelled the word wrong. Which, of course, meant that he'd told an entire class his password.

What are you trying to argue? Like what's the actual proposition that you're putting forward?

Those mostly sound like scattered, particular complaints about particular OO languages, none of which have anything to do with OOP as a paradigm (as far as I can tell).

If you're trying to suggest that there is no viable OOP programming language, that's manifestly false, as trillions of dollars of value have been created following the OOP paradigm in various OOP-oriented languages.

If you're trying to argue that there is no perfect OO language, I'd agree with you but argue that the it's a trivial consequence of there being no perfect programming language in general (language design is a game of trade-offs).

If you're trying to suggest that every use of OOP could be replaced by a clearly superior, readily available, battle-tested non-OOP approach (which you haven't, you've just listed languages and language flaws with no alternatives), the argument sounds pretty implausible.

You can weaken some of these claims to make some headway (replace always with in general or whatever), but that kind of takes the wind of out the argument's proverbial sails.

Personally I dislike OO approaches because I usually work on greenfield projects, and every example of OO in a greenfield context that I've seen has been deeply premature and slowed down development. (I also think the DRY principle is a pile of crap in a greenfield context with highish-level code). When I pull down a gigantic, mature Apache repo though, I'm usually not put off by mature OO abstractions, and they (in general) help me follow and add to the code. It cuts both ways. Like most ideas cooked up by smart people solving hard problems, OO is imperfect but sometimes useful.
FB abandoned Cassandra (which was really only used for message inbox indexing) when they redid how messages work years ago, but the re-adopted a large C* infra when they bought Instagram.
The classes of bugs you get in an OOP heavy conceptual modelling inheritance tend to be far more difficult to reason about, because half of the damn classes using it end up being utility classes, so you end up modeling a computer that does a thing instead of the thing.
“Will Data Destroy Democracy?” with Darren Bolding, CTO, Cambridge Analytica
> Startups in the US won't have this hassle.

Startups in the US are what got us into this privacy nightmare in the first place. Of course, they are no longer startups, but they still didn't fix shit once they got bigger, so I don't see how this argument holds.

I like to think of privacy like internationalisation or security. When I started programming, Unicode/UTF-8 was niche and not well supported at all. Now, for new languages, it's a given. The same with decent crypto libraries. Databases now offer pretty great unicode support (except for the old ones where it had to be bolted on, coughMySQLcough). It isn't inconceivable that privacy tools become standard in databases and data processing frameworks.

Personally, I see this as a brilliant opportunity for people/companies who want to do the right thing for their customers (whether that's consumers directly, or a company using them).

My prediction is you'll see this with cloud providers strongest. Some are putting a lot of effort into GDPR, and a properly compliant provider will become a huge value-add, and not a liability.
This still seems inconclusive to me. I'm no lawyer, but why would Trump want to pay for this porn star's silence unless he became a Presidential candidate?
I have ADHD and I hate it and it sucks.

But I think 85% of the issue with my ADHD is the social stigma and people who will never understand nor accept it.

I don’t think the right response is some kind of eye-rolling “ADHD-positivity”; people need help, treatment, and acceptance.

ADHD is what you might consider one of the more “telegenic” disabilities, which is all the more reason to advocate for an inclusive, understanding approach to disabilities in general. Otherwise, people won’t get the help they need, and dumbasses will continue to revert to their tropes of “laziness”, “lack of willpower”, “bad parenting”, and “just need to put in more effort”.

There’s a lot of confusion about what ADHD is and whether it exists at all. Here’s what, you don’t really need irrefutable evidence about someone’s predicament to care about other people who are different from you. Regardless of what you think is the case wrt ADHD, there’s an opportunity for you to grapple with the fact that there are people dealing with struggles invisible to you every waking day of their lives, and that you need to take that into account when judging them as children, students, co-workers and human beings, and where they got or didn’t get to in life.
Isn't the GDPR supposed to help with that?
"We take that data and match it up with lists of voters, and combine that data science to come up with ideas about you who might want to sell a product to, or in the case of politics, this is this person's’ propensity to vote."
Fair enough, footwear is not the best example nowadays. I went from buying cheap $10 shoes at Walmart to only wearing Marine issue Vibram boots that would cost in excess of $200. Although the special forces boots are silent and more comfortable they only last a couple years. My current pair I've had for 4 years and they look identical to the day I got them. But they're not for everybody. However if we extrapolate away from footwear and think about cars I think the anecdote is more apt. Take for instance something as trivial as an oil change. Regular 5w30 will cost around $30 but it breaks down relatively quickly and needs to be changed if you're lucky every 3k miles. Full synthetic on the other hand will set you back $100 plus and will last at least 7k miles. When you change it you'll find with normal use that the oil hasn't really broken down within that span and you're really just changing it to remove combustion and minor engine particulates. Not to mention the engine with full synthetic will run smoother and more efficient, while the regular oil by nature will run noticeably sluggish when reaching its end of life. All of this is moot when making the choice to go full electric, but how much will that set someone back vs buying a good used car that in the most rare circumstances can hope to get less than a quarter of the life of an electric. An even more relevant example for this community I would think would be the concept of tech debt.

Criticism is not the same as censorship.

Forceful de-platforming isn't criticism. Criticism is argument. Force isn't argument. De-monetizing videos for unstated political motivations isn't criticism, it's censorship. Making irrational noise, intimidating, pounding on windows, lighting shops on fire, throwing things through windows -- those things aren't criticism. That is force, and many of those are examples of criminal acts. It's non-governmental censorship.

So many of the things which the Extreme Left use as a means of "convincing" people are the exact same things which bigots of the past did to black people and gay people:

- exclusion from clubs and professional organizations
- public rudeness, yelling
- refusal to serve
- not renting homes and apartments
- getting them fired

You can tell the good people from the bad people this way: When the bad people win, it's time for them to unleash their acrimony and to do unto others. When the good people win, they hew to their principles and exercise forbearance and generosity.

That’s not monopoly. Monopoly means that effectively there is only one supplier and in the mobile phone market there are at least two, of which Apple is not even the largest.

Just because it is an important player it is hardly dominant.

Also, just because you don’t deem a market important anymore (and many people would beg to differ with your opinion) doesn’t change wether a party is a monopoly in that market or not.
It's still an issue, but a lot less of one. 3.0 is a big improvement in terms of GC behavior. Haven't tested 3.11.x yet, but it look in theory like a decent improvement in terms of rounding off corner cases and adding instrumentation.
I am sorry for the tone, but this is exactly the kind of answer I didn't need. I didn't ask "how to work around GDPR without complying to it". My question was "is putting a disclaimer and having to click and confirm that you aren't a EU citizen enough to guarantee me no trouble from EU?"
> one type of money-like asset for another.

If you look at it that way, aren't houses a money-like asset as well? Certainly, people now buy houses which would have in stocks or bonds before. And if so, what does that mean for the value of these assets? Are they independent from inflationary risks?
You don't understand TLB. It is distinctly not a hardware problem. A TLB is a content addressable memory and the mappings and flushing are done by.. software. You flush it every time you context switch, and pretty much fully all the time with KPTI now that PCID's 4096 ASIDs can't safely save anything other than the kernel and runnable process. My point about madvise protects against PHKs post claiming memory pool objects will always be paging in and out, which is false and again a memory pool is desirable for certain uses as it guarantees maximum latency and avoids very heavy locking in the VFS for high concurrency.

Hi all.

We mocked up a simple tool that is useful to label datasets (contained in a DB) for sentiment analysis, via the command line. This allows quick labelling to prototype classifiers on your datasets, when prelabelled data is unavailable.

That can be regulated. That the US chooses not to do so doesn't mean it cannot be done.

See, for example, GDPR.
Market pressure will always drive outcomes, so you have to incentivize for the outcome you desire. It's far from clear how to bias such speculative (no pun intended) future costs against immediate returns even if you could identify a truly good CEO.
How do you reply safely to such a data request? I mean, this could have been written by an impersonator. And even if you can verify the identity, you still need to send sensitive information somehow.

So, basically, you are accusing me of wildly overreacting not because I am but because you are keen to heap additional attacks on me for some reason.

Criticising an industry as having inherent conflict of interest is not remotely a conspiracy theory.

Wouldn't it be fair if the GDPR allowed for a small administration fee, for such requests?
I guess my implicit answer was "I think so -- in fact, you probably don't even need to do that much". (Though you want to replace "EU citizen" with "EU resident".) And of course nothing will _guarantee_ no trouble.
I agree we are not using the same definition of data discovery. In my use case, you know a priori which user provided the data, you just need to plumb the information through to all downstream systems. This seems sufficient for GDPR as I understand it. I had not read your entire comment and did not realize you were promoting a system to try to do something like this automatically. I did not realize the initial question was rhetorical.

FWIW I would be worried about relying on such a system! But based on the description it seems helpful. What does it do about derivative data that doesn't directly contain any PII?
It should be:

def tail_factorial(n, accumulator=1):
if n == 0: return accumulator
else: return tail_factorial(n-1, accumulator * n)
>Which presumably correlates in part to the India having experienced a large number of migrations over a fairly long period of time.

This meme will end up being the last causality in a long line of poorly written narratives extrapolated from either poor data, or poorly interpreted data. That is we completely ignore a lot of factors. For example both South Indians, and North Indians are from a same divergent ancestor tens of thousands of years ago.

Another example is the eponymous R1 signature that people use to construct a particular narrative leave out the fact that R1 originated at the very least in Asia. Where exactly scientist have argued anywhere from Central, to South, to East Asia.

A more sane, and logical argument would be that at different points in time people have immigrated to India, and emigrated out of India. And not just India, through Eurasia people have traded genetics, linguistics, and culture with each other for at least 80,000 years.

That is there is not just a single large number of migration from one area to another, but multiple, and in various directions.
