IANAL, but isn’t "true deletion" legally required under GDPR?

Wouldn't leaving personal data lying around in your database like this technically leave you liable to massive fines?
Yes, we should also be advocating for better paternity leave policies, so that men can take a bigger role in child care.

However, that does not mean companies shouldn't audit pay across race and gender, controlling for job role, level and performance.

Nor does it mean companies shouldn't audit performance reviews for inequity.

Nor does it mean companies shouldn't audit job role and level and promotion processes for inequity.

Nor does it mean companies shouldn't audit hiring processes for inequity.

Different people experience inequity in different ways. Some people experience it in more than one way. We need systemic solutions to address each of these failure modes.
I really like that idea. It might be fun to be given some `strace` output (with the initial `execve` and writes to stdout/stderr redacted) and then be asked to determine which UNIX command it was, or more broadly what it was doing.
Thanks. I have used a couple of VPNs in the past, but it’s not an ‘every session’ thing for me. Should it be?

That's the whole point of doing a "simple background check" to determine if an account is real, isn't it. At least I think it is more useful for Tinder users.
Yep, but it is a useful concept with certain minerals and products. For instance, the vast majority of the cost of producing a lithium battery is the big oven to dry them out before sealing them, the price of the lithium itself is way down the list and could effectively double before it massively affected battery costs. However if the price does double, suddenly lithium is economically available pretty much everywhere.
Definitely not too old. We recently just hired an engineer who had a degree in Biology, got accepted into medical school, realized he loved tech way more, and then went back to school for engineering. If anything, this was a plus for us, because we knew that this was something he was passionate about. I also personally respect people who are willing to take the scarier path because they want to do something they love. Also worth noting that his engineering degree was only 2 years rather than four, since he already had GEs covered and all of that. So your 5 year estimation might be shorter than you think
It still works that way.

I have just read from page 17 to 33. I expected a load of bullcrap, but ended up with only one nugget, page 31:

> We further find that the district court erred in focusing its merger analysis on the options available to Google at the time of copying. It is well-established that copyrightability and the scope of protectable activity are to be evaluated at the time of creation, not at the time of infringement.

The error is subtle, but crucial: when Sun/Oracle released their API, they gave rise to a new functionality: interoperability with whatever they just created. If someone wants to write a drop-in replacement, they have to read the declarations, copy them all, then write a conforming implementation.

Changing the order of those declarations would still be possible, but one would still have to start from the original files anyway. Assuming those were readable to begin with, any transformation would be a purely legal trick, so they can say "I didn't really copied it".

As far as I can tell the court either ignored or dismissed this interoperability issue. Agreeing with Oracle that Google could have renamed its function names, even though those names are part of the API they were conforming to (the `max` function is obviously part of the standard library), is ignorant at best, dishonest at worst.

Sounds like no.
I will parry this argument by saying that to Mao and Deng, just as to Soviets, "expending" few battalions worth of loyal soldiers is nothing more serious than just a play.

When Mao sent his troops to Zhenbao, he forbade them from both advancing into Soviet territory, and falling back. He ordered to execute any soldier who disobeyed. That was his idea from the beginning to make it a show tantrum.

Relations and trade in between Soviets and Mao continued well after Zhenbao, and there are living witnesses to that on both sides.
I am not sure what you are talking about, but technology to produce metals from their oxides has been practical since at least Çatal Höyük, 8500 years ago, and cracking and distilling random mixtures of hydrocarbons to make plastic has been practical since 1939. Catalytic cracking has been the main way we make plastics since then, although it was in use to produce fuel and lubricants since a few years earlier.

My best guess is that you didn't read the comment you are replying to, so I am hoping that repeating it in more detail, as I have above, will result in you reading it.
1% of a large number is still a large number.
>It does raise a question in my mind as to how that one function got copies, but it's also possible that it was re-implemented and happened to be done exactly the same without looking at the original

They literally admit to having copied it.

All the hypotheticals trying to find the end of cleanroom dev in this case keep missing the point: They didn't do cleanroom dev. They admit to not having done it. Their defenses aren't organized around them doing it. So what's the furor about?
> cheaper over their own long term benefit

You're assuming you know better than millions who believe cheaper IS in their long term benefit. Quite a sweeping statement!
Looks good! Though note it's best to avoid submitting the same site 2x in a very short amount of time.
You can't spend your way out of the latency issues associated with such a distributed architecture, though.

That's one of things NVLink helps with, actually.
Yeah, pretty much. They are claiming the future is specialization in compute. Tensorcores are an attempt at this - they should more accurately be called "4x4 matrix multiply in half precision with a full-precision add". That is the instruction they support. Unless you are training a very deep CNN with a lot of 4x4 kernels, they won't give you much of a speedup. You're left then with the memory-GPU b/w. For the 1080Ti, that's 484GB/s and it's about 950GB/s for the V100. So about twice the training performance for 10 times the price. Not a good deal, IMO.
When you compare that with the top Vega cards, it's a complete rip-off - but Vega cards are currently useless for deep learning. I'm not convinced AMD have put the money in to build the libraries, so we're stuck with AMD for a while yet (unless Intel by some miracle pull one out with its new platform).

Cinemas are great for a wide range of people.

For mainstream/action-blockbuster viewers, a huge screen with a hard-hitting sound system makes a huge difference. Some people like the reclining seats and food service (though that's not for me.)

For indie/foreign film lovers, cinemas are some of the only places where you can even see many films. Some never come out on streaming sites.

There's also the simple fact that nearly all film-makers intend their movies to be watched on the big screen. Any deviance from that means you're not getting the correct experience. Watching Lawrence of Arabia on your little iPhone, streaming from freemoviez23.net is not even close to the original 70mm glory of that movie. Hell, even 35mm movies look so much better when projected from film - that wonderful fuzziness. It's something like how old NES games were meant to look good on CRT TVs.
They were considered non-copyrightable before. Then, in a surprise to many, they were ruled copyrightable in this case.

So far, the ruling only applies in the Federal Circuit. And you only get into the Federal Circuit when there is a patent aspect to the case. But a forum-shopping litigant could have a patent claim to the case, drop it part way through, and still wind up in the Federal Circuit on appeal (which, if I understand correctly, is exactly what happened in this case).

BoJack Horseman is a standout show for me. It uses an over the top colourful cartoon format to provide the necessary levity to counteract the dark themes woven through the show.
Settling out of court at this point would not be a good result, since the most important thing that will come out of this is the legal precedent.
The margin was designed to be small. CA was trying not to be noticed. They wanted it to look like an upset so it would be more plausible.

If there's anything that would make me buy an iPhone, this is it. I travel a lot between the US and Europe; I'm using Fi at the moment even though I shouldn't actually have access to it. It's mind boggling to me the crazy things we can do with tech today, and not make it all work smoothly and reliably when you step a few meters off the border of whichever country you're in.
Apple gets it. They really have no choice if they're dealing with kids though. I don't know how Google manages to control the majority of the education market for tablets (60%)...because of the immense tracking that they do.
Is the screen laminated or are they using the same screen as on the 2017 iPad?
Its the old West German PTT as was also know a Dustch Buders Pest to other telecoms :-)
I believe so, yes. I only addressed your first question as to what those sensors are. (Edit to add: I neglected to do a full feature comparison because I suspected that perhaps initial iPad releases had different but was too lazy to do the research of a full feature comparison across all models.) The full sentence mentions the "new iPad", not that the sensors are necessarily new, not surprising in a press release.
Wow, that is really backwards. How could any French streaming service survives the law? I am surely don't want a service that only has movies 3 years old.

Indeed consistency is important. Likewise it is important to review these things without the influence of erroneous prejudice, such as the belief that women with the same skills and experience are being systemically paid less due to rampant sexism.
>The difference is that other countries don't combine their businesses with their government,

The US government has export embargoes, and has blocked the foreign purchase of US tech firms, citing "national security". The NSA has used US tech firms to spy on foreign citizens/governments.

>where the government can manipulate the value of their currency and empower their businesses to out compete on the global markets unfairly.

Every government tries to make exports cheaper. How many billions of dollars has the US treasury printed during quantitative easing? Also, for e.g., the US defense only accepts payment in USD for weapons purchases or defense services (to korea, japan, etc) - in part - helping keep the demand for the USD high. Calling it currency manipulation doesn't make it evil when China does it. Its just a game that all countries play and each tries to brush their own motivations under carpets with different words written on top.

To me, while it's not a wash, with every country being "equally bad", its a little hypocritical to see countries adopt a "do as i say, not as I did" policy.
What if you want two dogs, or a spare bedroom and kitchen for your in laws, or you have more than one kid? In an urban area this would be prohibitively expensive for most. Even for a small home the suburbs are often cheaper than living in the city, and for a larger home they are much cheaper, while still being close enough to have access to many of the benefits of urban living.

You sound like an antihermitite. Are you an antihermitite? Do you have some kind of a problem with me watching a movie at home in my mountaintop retreat, next to my bearfriend, who is watching a completely different movie on another screen? Does it disgust you that we enjoy each other's company without ever having a single conversation?

If I wanted to go to dinner and talk, I'd hang out at roadkill point with the crows, and make fun of the redtailed hawk behind her back.~

I remember back when going to the movies at a cinema was a great way to date someone without letting them know exactly where you lived--in case they turned out to be both wrong for you and obsessive--and without revealing immediately that you can't hold up your end of an unprompted, free-form conversation for four whole hours. It's a lot better value when you don't have to pay for your kids' tickets and meals, too.
I wonder if anyone is really surprised by this.

It became pretty clear right after Trump won the election (as early as December 2016) during this meeting: https://youtu.be/oX_9yD2lN2g. Trump met with 13 tech company giants and somehow Alex Karp (CEO of Palantir) is at the table. The rest of the executives are from companies with market caps well into the hundreds of billions.
This is an autocomplete API. How can I get the actual search results for the query?
Fi's "included" roaming sounds great, until you realize how pathetically expensive even their domestic prices are.

Fi's base price[0] is $20/mo + tax. Hallon (my current provider) will sell you 8GB/mo of data for $18/mo, tax included.[1] With Fi that would cost you.. $80/mo + tax. Hallon doesn't actually have anything comparable to that, price-wise; their most expensive plan is 100GB/mo at ~$40.

And no, population density is not an excuse either. According to Wikipedia[2], the US' population density is 33 ppl/km², where Sweden has 23 ppl/km².

Doesn't seem to be the economy either, the GDP per capita seems to within ~20%[3], and that's before taking into account the massive difference in income equality.

I'd love if someone could explain how this price difference is somehow reasonable, because this just boggles my mind completely.

I assume to have those two directions as two camps in your company, fighting each other generates the most optimal result. If you fail, the cautious camp wins and carefull analysis and slow methodic itteration become stronger.

If you win, the move fast team takes over and pushes towards new exploration data and scaling up towards new problem areas.

> They can't compete unless they show their movie in a French cinema, which they refuse to.

Unless they show their movie in at least six French cinemas, preferably more, and also not make it available for streaming for at least three years after that.
I came here to say this. I bought a Pixel 2 XL for my wife last year and there was an option to use SIM-less with Project Fi. I was confused at first and went with it, and it worked. Then I just stored the old SIM. To be honest I don't quite remember how was the process but I remember it was pretty easy to setup.
Cannes has little to do with popular culture. It's an elite event, open to industry insiders and artists. A regular person can't just buy a ticket to go to Cannes anyway.

The situation is roughly analogous to the US Academy requiring movies to play in the US for some time. (There are more restrictions, but it's in a similar spirit.)
I considered both the Android option and the mobile hotspot option, neither effectively solved the problem of using the local SIM for voice calls and providing access to my full contact database (which is currently stored in iCloud).

If you have no need for voice calls, or your address book, or have your address book stored on a more cross platform friendly service, then either of these solutions will work for you!

In the end, people are going to judge, if only to see who is most suitable to some task or best given something.
Politics is also an invariant, people are going to lobby to get things themselves, given scarcity, this is at the expense of others.

These things combine to mean that it will always be problematic for everyone to be completely open. The only way to make this a non-issue is to have all judgements made be completely accurate, but that seems like it takes way too much information.
AFAIK GDPR mandates that deleted data is no longer processed (used for marketing, analyzed, etc). I don't remember it saying anything about the data "existing"; nor could it given how backups work in our industry.

Yeah depends on what you mean by close. I see the cheapest 1080ti at newegg right now for $909. Bought mine a year ago (founders edition) for $699. It is getting better but we are still far away from sanity. IMHO this (year old) card should sell today for ~$500 if things were to be normal.
That is surely what is happening - a general (not always, I know!) rule in programming is to never delete anything, just mark it as deleted/deprecated/etc. and do not show it.

If you have a cheap reliable car, paltry insurance, and don't drive much you might just get down to $300-400 a month, but I think you're also underestimating your cost.
I wonder why this hasn't been added yet. I haven't used my iPad2 in a couple of years but back when I got it (due to the lack of any reasonably comparable devices running Android or Windows at the time) I remember jailbreaking it as soon as possible.

I installed a few things from the Cydia store to overcome what I saw as missing functionality--stuff like adding a number row to the keyboard so I didn't have to keep toggling between letters and numbers, improving notifications, forcing resized phone apps to use a higher resolution, etc.

One major app allowed me to connect a bluetooth mouse and use that for typical mousy stuff. In the years since I was tinkering with that iPad, I've seen so many of my initial complaints fixed so I'm surprised that mouse support isn't on the list yet.
High availability IP for your dhcp for "next-server", so you can boot one server from another one.

Mikrotik routers and switches can boot from dhcp (or bootp?), but yes a typical switch can't.

Not a network person, but I assume you can give fine grained enough control that you can't do a "copy running-config startup-config" on a cisco switch, so have a startup config that boots to a known basic state then tftps it's config from your HA dhcp server.
Even if you assume APIs aren't copyrightable, I don't think anyone cared to implement CUDA itself except for Nvidia. There is really no point in proliferating such APIs, since there are OpenCL / Vulkan already which are open to begin with.

What someone could try implementing though, is translating CUDA into OpenCL (if that's possible). That would be useful to break lock-in.
Never.. I would give APPLE full rights to broke my privacy.
Hey good for them.
Hi ABCLAW,

I just reread the document, and I think you are referring to page 36. I think Oracle is trying to get around the Sega vs Nintendo case which does protect the API. I believe the Oracle argument is tenuous since you still need to import the Math class to use it. If you don't import it, they you have to specify the Math class every time you use the method. Even if Oracle is correct, then it would mean the Math class is not in the API, it is an implementation detail. Then we are back to the discussion if an open source implementation is legitimate replacement for clean room implementation. Then this becomes an open source discussion and not an API discussion.

The whole Oracle discussion of API seems circular and might be a red herring. The real discussion is at the very end where Oracle says that Google only implemented a subset of the API and not the full API.
Huh? LTE on AT&T has been a thing for a very long time, and it's not GSM.
