You're absolutely right, it's a super complex issue and thinking that we can remove the issue 100% is wishful. Thanks for sharing HandUp, I'll have a look.

As you say, I think any improvement in the right direction would already impact many lives positively.
I've been asking myself this very same question for some time now. One thing to consider is the idea of income that scales well, though this is not easy. Examples of income that scale well might be a successful app, a hit song, etc, contrary to the linear scaling of hourly wages. Essentially, I think it's a good idea to consider developing avenues of income in which the ratio of profit earned to work performed has potential to increase exponentially. Of course this isn't a secure mode of income, so perhaps it is best in tandem with secure income pursuits and sources.

This is basic proposition logic.

A: ICE contains ERO.

B: ICE contains HSI.

C: ERO tracks immigrants.

D: HSI tracks criminals.

E: HSI uses Facebook data.

The statements above simply don’t imply that “ICE uses Facebook data to track immigrants”. Now as twelveoz pointed it out, a document linked to the article contains information that would imply that, but that information is not included in the body of the article. Whether a department counts as an organization or not is a semantic argument.

Don't you expect Apple phones to have Apple apps and Samsung phones to have Samsung apps? Why is Google supposed to be the dictator of experience on a Samsung device?

And in a world where 85% of phones run Android, do you consider that an upside? That people only have the choice between Apple or Google experiences, and no others?

GDPR has its own, vague criteria for when it applies, and it's much more inclusive than the typical criteria for a nexus.

For example, things like the company actively seeking out clients in EU countries, or offering the service in EU countries' languages, make it more likely that EU will consider the company to be subject to GDPR even if it has no presence in the EU.

It seems to me that EU is overstepping their jurisdiction here, but I really don't know how international law works.

The point of the story was that she wasn't actually imposing. It's just that the kid she told off was acting like he was representing the other 30 people. The rest of them were probably either indifferent or were entertained by her which is how most people are when you actually talk to them like human beings.

Setting the standard that telling people about your day or telling them about yourself is "imposing" is exactly the kind of thinking that's producing our society where nobody ever has a real conversation unless it's via introduction by a third party and an app first.

You successfully described why I think unit testing can be harmful to good code - forcing exposure of too many internal details.

This has further implications, like over-abstraction (all those dependencies need to be parameterized, all those classes need to be interfaces, everything must be indirected so it can be probed), namespace pollution (instead of a cohesive external API, you get a big bag of Lego pieces and have to pick and choose the right combination), brittle design (every unit boundary gets tested on both sides, tripling the cost of modification), etc.

I've started going to city meetings in Cupertino and Sunnyvale, and I agree the only solution is top down.
I want the newly available Cupertion Vallco site to be full of housing, but I've resigned myself to the fact that Cupertino just isn't going to do it. The mayor doesn't want it, and the home owners don't want it. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up with more office space than housing.

In Cupertino, Palo Alto, etc. housing is currently controlled by local nimby interests. We do have a state oversite process: https://abag.ca.gov/planning/housingneeds/. CA knows we're not doing the right thing, here and in the rest of the state. Check out the statewide housing assessment: http://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/plans-reports/index.sh.... It shows the picture clearly. We're like a person driving a car with their feet - we're just doing something dumb. We need to get around the political inertia to change our current approach.

The state process just doesn't have enough grip to get our hands back on the wheel. It seems like sb 828 might improve the oversite https://artplusmarketing.com/california-needs-a-housing-firs....

Looking around for what we can literally do as citizens, I found our state senator had an open house last week, but I missed it with a cold. So, show up and ask for more housing and ask him to get sb 827 and 828 passed! If you're local, follow his schedule at http://sd13.senate.ca.gov/sign-e-notices-and-email-updates and show up with me!

Getting Everyone on the Same Page
That may be what things are converging on but in my opinion, any system that imposes a "single dependency version per compilation unit" policy is not a "real" dependency management solution. That approach creates a tremendous amount of friction because it pretty much ensures dependency hell if there are transitive dependencies with separate release cycles (and there very much should be able to be).

Edit: I just realized that we may have a different definition of "compilation unit". If you mean "single program" then my point stands. However, if you just meant some sectioned-off part of the program, then I think the drawbacks of that are far less. Basically, I think that it is useful to be able to have access to multiple versions of a datatype (e.g. if you want to write a converter from old -> new) but that use case is far more fringe.
For the same reason you typically don't optimize for the Chinese market even though it's also huge.

There is a significant cost to compliance, even if you do it right from the very beginning (assuming it's even possible for GDPR right now), and for a lot of startups it's not worth it to spend time on that because they'll most likely be dead for unrelated reasons before they get any significant amount of GDPR clients.

It makes more sense to spend the effort on not dying instead of chasing incremental gains in markets with complicated regulatory requirements, unless dealing with those is explicitly your business proposition.
A bit? MSFT is a few points below its two week high!
The answer to this is fairly simple: Offline access to email. You need a client for this, and an arbitrary browser won't do.

Solved problem on iOS and Android with whatever mail app you want to use, but those are of course apps.

Solved problem on the PC with Outlook or "Gmail Offline", but "Gmail Offline" is a chrome-only feature so is, as far as I'm concerned, an offline email client built into Chrome, not a feature of Gmail per-se. See also: Any IMAP mail client.
Until Windows is threatened, this will be the status quo.

Windows is under enormous threat, and much of our computing now takes place on alternate devices. The example of O365 is the perfect example, that platform being equally usable across many platforms (because it had to to have any market influence).

And if Microsoft is just discounting everything to get your business, that doesn't support the theory of Microsoft dominance. It is yesteryear trying to desperately hang on to have relevance. That is not an example of why Microsoft is a 1T company, but is an example of why the future doesn't look so hot.
Ah, ok. Thank you for clarifying. In that case there is nothing to not look forward to, and hopefully the proposal will be fully adopted soon.
This is just my own humble opinion.

I think whoever boosted their cloud offerings (in terms of market share) the next few years, will reach $1T market cap first.

And it’s well within reasons for all major cloud vendors to reach $1T in a couple years.

Well, it's pretty obvious when you shouldn't approach. For example, they may be walking quickly possibly deeply preoccupied with something. Basically if you have to step out of your way to introduce yourself, it's probably not the best time.

But in certain situations like waiting in line at starbucks, people nearby don't usually make eye contact. It's a bit too close and uncomfortable to even begin making eye contact unless they're at least 5-8 peoples away. People seem to glance away more often in close proximity, and it's harder to look back (just my experience when I try to make eye contact with someone). And if you find them mindlessly on their phone or staring at nothing in particular, it doesn't hurt to start a conversation.

It's really important that you shouldn't have to look like you're trying to start a conversation. It should just flow and be effortless. Having said that, I have the deepest respect for people who have gone out of their way to talk to strangers and getting rejected. I always thought it was stupid, but once you have seen it in person, it's a different story. They know they have a small chance, but they play their cards anyway. Most people don't have the confidence to do this, like me.

> I think it is right that they are rewarded greatly for picking a great investment.

This "reward" you're talking about is a massive subsidy that everyone is forced to pay existing residents. Public funds don't need to go to millionaires. Period.

And that narrative is completely inaccurate when it comes to commercial property and suburbs, many of which were founded on redlining and racial exclusion. Do we need to be "rewarding" longtime homeowners for being fortunate enough to be of the right race at the right time, at great public expense?
I think that most people think that...

The difference, of course, is that the netting in the image on that page pretty obviously isn't meant to catch people.

It does affect US companies where either they, their staff, or their customers have sufficient ties to the EU for the EU to exert their authority, and where the GDPR applies by its own terms. Which is more US companies than many think.

Whether "not operating in the EU" is a different threshold than the above is a semantic argument that's less interesting to me than the substantive ones.
Absolutely, will public mistrust stay around, or is Facebook just the demon of the day to be hated at by the talking heads on tv? From everything I've seen, the greater public won't remember or care a week after the media moves on.
Hahaha agreed. I've never stock picked before, and I just loaded up on some nice FB stock at a discount :)
"Most" might be true but it certainly doesn't apply to all. Uber's self driving car recently killed someone and there are plenty of indirect examples of deaths like the reported suicides after Mt Gox collapsed. Either way, "it isn't going to kill anyone" shouldn't be an excuse for ignoring the law or reasons for why that law might have been created in the first place.

It's an interesting question. I'd look at it from the angle of ability to marshal resources for an to meet constantly arising but unanticipated threats and opportunities. So not the Genome Project, we always knew we'd need to figure that out, same with how to beat cancer, same with fusion, etc.

I'm talking about when internet transaction started becoming an opportunity, there was already a well developed (if esoteric) field of cryptography that could build solutions for that application... and it turned out that was the tip of the iceberg of what crypto is doing nowadays.

On the threat side, there are many examples of Soviet jet can do X, therefore the US has to dip into research on say allow metals, to build a jet that can do Y and counter the threat.

We don't know what grand projects are tractable with today's or tomorrow's technology - beat cancer or invent fusion first, anyone? We know in the future we'll need answers to questions we haven't even asked yet; that's what you're really buying with your research dollars.

The bigger question in my mind is whether MSFT will reach a $1T market cap because it is essentially behaving like a banker and moving money around, or whether it will genuinely innovate to expand its revenue.
If it is the former they are vulnerable to their souffle collapsing.

About six years ago I wrote about the perils of using Facebook as your primary photo store (among other things) - http://greenash.net.au/thoughts/2011/10/dont-trust-facebook-... . Sad to see that so few people have followed my advice, that a tool such as this is necessary.

i wish devs understood something: whatever pathological behavior you're participating in is just that: pathological. 99.99999999% of people just read emails and do nothing insidious/clever/nefarious. there are literally like 5 people like you and 100,000 people just reading the email and either clicking or not clicking, buying or not buying, etc.

If your friends are worth paying SFBA mortgages --- with your eyes open to how expensive that is --- to stick around, then, yes, I would call those pretty serious roots. I understand why many people stay.

I also have an implicit mental bias towards families, since I'm at an age where most of my close peers have families. I understand how different the equation is for single people in their late 20s and early 30s --- I wasn't any more rational about my personal finances back then (despite having 2 kids) than anyone paying to live in SFBA is now.

I think though that a lot people out there should leave; it's not a good deal.

Microsoft has always discounted everything for volume licensing. That's how they lock you in.
I have no idea where the FB stock is going. I don't think the company is in trouble, but likely to continue shifting focus. The good thing for them is that their products complement each other pretty well.

FB the product has been changing quite a bit. Many people don't use it anymore to see what their "friends" are doing. They use it to follow certain groups of interest. For me it's becoming something between Reddit, Meetup, and Craigslist. (I don't check my FB often)

Instagram (which I don't use) is still strong in what FB used to be, but the friendship model is more lax like in Twitter. The demographics also complement FB well.

WhatsApp (which I use daily for everything) is huge all over the world. It's also catching up in the US. Besides the 1on1 communication, it's also big on groups. But the WahtsApp groups are quite different from the FB groups. They tend to be smaller and more personal. It's not really by design, it's mainly because it's connected to people's phones. They just need to figure out how to monetize it. The potential is huge. (but first please improve the calling quality, it's so bad)

WhatsApp is a great product but among the three the most easily replaceable. But that's not going to happen any time soon. FB were smart keeping it independent and separate (many users don't even know they own it). One thing I really dislike about Google is that they merge everything under one umbrella.
