In that instance it's not always the case that SaaS will default to be a processor. GDPR describes a controller as 'which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data;'

Where a SaaS provider steps into more complex analytics or has some freedom in the process, there's an argument that they're joint controllers and bear those responsibilities. The difference between cloud and on- premises is that you're actively processing personal data in SaaS.

In many cases, the processor/controller relationship will be correct. But GDPR is focused on active compliance so it's something which should be actively considered and documented.

There's definitely value in an Erowid type site that contains legal/health info related to prostitution without serving as a venue for the practice itself.

That's why I'm generally in favor of what has been called the "Nordic Model," which decriminalizes selling sex and keeps workers in touch with public services, but makes it illegal to operate a brothel and purchase sex.

No, it's hardly a standard. It's just a common approach. The article presents another approach which differs on the three points you mention: manifest plus lock as separate declarations, SAT solver, single dependency version per compilation unit. And I think what Russ proposes is a really interesting tradeoff in the design space.

Central Jersey dude here. Yeah I did the Action Park alpine slide. And saw that water slide your dad mentioned (I opted for the smaller one).

But not everybody was so lucky at GA. I was there the day a girl died falling off Lightning Loops. And the family with us also happened to be there previously the day a fire broke out in the Haunted House, killing several people.

In high school I volunteered at the local hospital. One of the patients was the guy who stood up on Scream Machine to impress his girlfriend and fell out.
Interesting that nobody mentioned htop so far (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htop). It is my favourite command to get a quick glance on the computational facilities of a computer (memory, cores) and what it is doing (load, fancy ps/top). htop is not installed everywhere, but it is easy to make a static build and scp it to the questioned host.

Another very handy command is

sudo netstat -atpn

which shows you the processes and owners of open TCP/UDP ports. The argument combination is as weird as "ps aux" that I just memorized it by heart.

I guess author makes the distinction from deterministic Vs non-deterministic algorithms. As a layman in these matters I still don't fully understand how some people classify machine learning algorithms as non-deterministic...

...i started wondering about this when I was reading a few articles about the AlphaZero algorithm that learned to play chess entirely from self play and wondered if it would always play the same moves in response to a fixed set of opponent moves (assuming the opponent starts as white).
My guess was that it wouldn't always respond in exactly the same way in case there's any MCTS like step somewhere in there blended with the Machine learning algorithm.

For a game like chess it would seem to make sense that the overall algorithm would still include a MCTS step (like AlphaGo did) but for an autonomous car it would seem crazy to any human to imagine that there would be any random search for a decision in a tree of possible interpretations of the input for example.

Does any one have any detailed knowledge about this? Would a non-deterministic algorithm ever be allowed in an autonomous car?

Well, transfering multiple files most likely means to zip/tarball them together at the server side. But unpacking an archive after downloading it on a mobile OS needs a number of clicks (and an unpacking app), which is cumbersome. In the end, it is probably about a client endpoint for your tool.

We're kinda big on Splunk, everything that remotely looks like log data get shipped of to Splunk.

I've worked with ELK before and I'm not a fan, the usability is very low compared to Splunk. It's much cheaper though. At a previous employer we switch from Splunk to ELK and the number of searches we did on a daily basis dropped to almost zero. Before that almost every support "ticket" would start with a Splunk search.

> If you argue that it has no location or is not possible to describe in any way you have no argument...

I will ask you a question. Suppose there is a world being simulated by using a normal everyday computer. Say the world of GTA5 or something like that. Now in that world, how will you describe the location of the computer it is being simulated on?

Does the computer "exist" for beings inside the simulation?

On a continuing thought...

Even though the computer does not exist for the beings inside the simulation, they possibly can influence the simulated world by some hack. For example, a being inside can think of some particular thing, that will result in a particular byte pattern in the memory and can trigger a bug in the program (or a hidden feature), granting the respective being some kind of super powers..This might appear as magic in the simulated world..

atop is best top. One of the few bits of software I evangelise.

Writes to replayable binary logfile with 10 minute system-state snapshots and uses process accounting to ensure it see's every process during that time.

Gives more metrics than any other top; including network, disk and all the counters that you have to check the man page to know what they refer to.

Its counterpart atopsar lets you replay the data for specific stats in an easily viewable format; i.e; - atopsar -m - this shows the memory stats for todays logfile in 10 minute increments.

It goes on every single server I manage without exception. With atop you can actually see why it died instead of guessing from old log entries.

Screenshot of atop : https://www.atoptool.nl/images/screenshots/genericw.png

Example output of atopsar:

They are also responsible for the test setup, the behavior and training of their employees.

If all their drivers, which ultimately are the latest safety when everything fails, are routinely not following the process that is an issue.

Maybe you need to have 2 drivers, maybe you need to randomly monitor the behavior of the driver remotely, but you have to demonstrate some active measures your took, to demonstrate the safety of the test. You cannot just say "not my fault".

I am not saying that Uber have not followed a rigorous procedure I don't know. But saying it is their fault or not seems a bit premature.

Computer programming (Interview questions and answers Updated Guide 2018)
The theory is that the chain of effect that led to where we are today with autonomous vehicle development began with the Big Bang, but it's generally agreed that the current development paradigm crystalized through the DARPA Grand Challenges in 2004, 2005 and the Darpa Urban challenge in 2007, though we also owe a great deal to deep learning, which Google didn't utilize in Autonomous vehicles until 2014.
So if one of these fails, the car stops? That doesn't seem like redundancy.

In web scale production, you mostly have to worry about your fellow sysadmins troubleshooting the problem, and they mostly won't be too mad about you clearing state.

But not everything is web scale production. Productionizing an app is a lot of work. Yes, yes, "Cloud is reliable!" and that's kinda true if you write your application to deal with any failure at any time. the reality is that the hardware can and will sometimes go away without warning, and you can't call up your oncall and tell them to head to the datacenter to fix it. all that recovery is done at the application layer; you had better hope you managed to make the data redundant enough. The whole idea behind the "cloud" is to take most of the lower level sysadmin work and make developers do it; and that's a fine way to some things, but... not so fine when it comes to other things.

(This is the value proposition of a VPS system rather than a "cloud" instance. when the hardware a VPS is on goes down, some poor bastard's pager goes off, and they are expected to wake up, drag themselves to the datacenter and fix it. The gamble is "is being down for a few hours now and again, when you can reasonably expect to be brought back up in the same configuration cheaper than writing your software such that you can always start over on a new node?" The VPS is for the former, the "Cloud" for the latter.)

Add to that, well, a lot of businesses need to run proprietary software. I personally, well, let us just say that for the last three years, the systems I am dealing with at work involve FlexLM.

so corp and smaller sites are littered with one-off systems... systems where if they break, a pager goes off, and someone fixes the problem. Sometimes that works better than the "web scale" stuff... like I've yet to see a "web scale" posix-ish filesystem that meets the user expectations the way NFS does, and I've never seen a nfs server that didn't require someone on pager.
Yes, but Go has specificities that make difficult to directly use the scheme used by other languages: Go is AOT compiled (we can't use C# generics), Go favors compilation speed (we can't use C++ template), Go lets the developer control memory layout with arrays and structs (we can't use OCaml generics), etc. Of course, Go should get inspiration from other languages, but adding generics is not easy as simply transposing another language implementation. There are multiple detailed proposals in the bug tracker that have failed for multiple reasons.

Thank you for that detailed analysis. Perhaps I should have emphasised that the scenario I am suggesting is one where there are already multiple open social networks that are communicating with each other using "industry standard" W3C social network specifications.

If technology were in widespread use for allowing instant automated publishing of social media posts to friends on other networks, then I don't see how Facebook could legitimately claim that they can only implement a process that takes weeks (or deluges their competitors with unwanted information). A court should see this as malicious compliance and demand a more "reasonable" effort from them instead.

This article:

http://ejlt.org/article/view/546/726

makes a strong case (in section 3.2) that the GDPR's data portability right should be considered in terms of EU competition law generally:

"In light of the above, it can be argued that a refusal of a dominant firm to enable data portability might be seen as a form of exclusionary abuse as it might drive its competitors out of a specific relevant market and increase market concentration."
#deleteuber was extremely successful at promoting change at Uber. Travis Kalanick was asked to leave as CEO and lost control over two board seats. There was a struggle for control between two groups of external investors, the ones who wanted to carry on as before and the ones who wanted root-and-branch change, and the latter won. And, although Uber is privately held, its consensus market value is definitely down a lot since the campaign.

The author writes a long text about how this is "not as easy for an autonomous system to solve" just to make the obvious point at the end of the article.

From the MIT challenge? I don't think that was the goal. If I remember correctly the blog, and his paid courses, are mostly about how to learn efficiently. So I'm guessing the purpose was part content marketing, part research and part general interest.

He's done something similar with language learning.
I agree that what they communicate is important, but I disagree that the early return communicates "x>y" as a special case.

Nothing about early return indicates a special case, but rather just indicate that a conclusion has been reached. A few examples:

1. A function that compares two arrays, and first checks if they are null or if their lengths differ before checking their individual elements, and potentially recursing. The early returns are likely to be the hottest section of the function, with the element checking being the special case.
2. A function that searches a list or tree for a node that matches a set of conditions. All but at most one run will use the early returns, making the corpus of the function the special case.
3. A function that does some processing, with fast paths that handle the vast majority of data, but a slow path for when the fast paths do not apply. The fast path is an early return, but the slow path is the special case.

In other words, I believe that it is incorrect to consider an early return to be a special-case, and interpreting code like so might result in misunderstandings. You should look at the condition to see if it is a special case. The only thing an early return indicate is that the return value has been decided, and no further processing is needed.

I still think that all my examples communicate the exact same to the reader.
And that's how one should hire people for less popular languages (for the
popular ones too, probably).
That doesn't mean you have Aspergers.
