Could you point me to some examples of actual harm that people have endured for abuses of their data? Preferably not just single-instance anecdotes, but actual data on the harm that is occurring?

Theoretically “protecting” people is good, but protecting them from what specifically? Health records are already covered by HIPAA, so other than health, what needs more protections? For example, collecting MixPanel or Google Analytics data from a blog — what’s the actual risk of that data? Very interested in real examples and not just hypothetical fears..

> Just teach more advanced subjects in both High School

Many affluent high schools have an abundance of AP/IB courses. Many high schools also have additional college-credit courses (where the high school acts as a sort of proxy for a local college, often a community college). At a "good" high school, students can combine all of these options to have not just a year, but even junior or senior standing by the time they start college.

There are three problems with this approach:

1. Not all high schools are affluent / have their crap together enough to offer these options.

2. students need to be prepared. Enough of them that you can fill a course. This can be a barrier in less affluent areas.

3. Students have to know about this option, usually starting in middle school so that they can begin working ahead early (e.g., finish algebra in middle school).

> ...and college

The pattern here seems to be picking the college vs. picking the more advanced courses at the college. So, you don't take "more advanced couses at regional State campus"; instead, you go to (your field's equivalent of) MIT/Stanford/Berkeley/CMU. Or at least the state flagship.
C.f., algorithms at an elite university vs. algorithms at the branch campus of a middling state system. The differences in both depth (rigor) and bredth are, in many cases, quite extraordinary.

> No child left behind and other programs hinder education by applying one size fits all policies.

Do you have any data to justify this assertion? AP offerings have increased since NCLB was enacted.

I don't disagree with you that NCLB is a net harm, but I don't think it's accurate to place the blame there for this particular problem. (Also, whenever NCLB comes up, it's worth pointing out that states bear a lot of responsibility -- they have quite a bit of leeway in how NCLB is implemented.)

I live in WI, and this is still the case.

Historically, the community and tech college teachers were unionized, so it attracted people who wanted to make a career of teaching. They were actually better off than the adjuncts who were teaching the same courses at the university. When the state broke the public sector unions a few years ago, a lot of teachers took early retirement (five or six of my friends), and I don't know how this will affect things going forward.

7 Ways We've Learned to Work Smarter, Not Harder
Thinking in a brand new way about Math, a way no one else has, to come up with novel new connections?
I would put that comment in the function header comment, not in the code itself. That's more meta.

And of course the function in question only deals with "ISO/IEC TR 18037 S5.3" so it's easily tested.

If someone files a bug saying the compiler isn't compliant with the requirements of "ISO/IEC TR 18037 S5.3", then they would provide a test case showing not compatible. Add that case to the existing unit tests and you will see which function fails. No need for searching the code to see where the behaviour is implemented. With clean code it's obvious, the test will show this method to be at fault. Even without any comments.

Code in functions should also try and stay at the same level of abstraction, moving low level stuff to abstracted methods that describe the intention (And then the low level method does the how). That way your code reads like a story.

>"Good. If nothing else, maybe it’ll help instill values of financial responsibility (I watched a report on crippling student debt where a woman went $150k in debt to get a theatre arts degree from NYU and now works as a waitress)."

Shouldn't that be values of financial "viability."?

Most people don't want to becomes dead beats on their debt.

Unfortunately here's a whole system in place that encourages 18 year olds to take on hundred of thousands in dollars in debt in order to purse a degree which has very few professional prospects of earning enough to pay that money back to the lender(s.) Practically speaking it's debt-peonage.

To contrast to other forms of loans - if I earn $30K a year and apply for a mortgage for a house costing $800k I likely will turned down by the lending institution since I lack the means to meet those mortgage payments. In other words I am not a good risk.

However the same lending institution will gladly allow me to borrow $260K for 4 years of NYU tuition in order to obtain a degree in Drama that I will have almost no chance of being able to pay back.

I agree with you to a point. When I sign up for a Facebook or LinkedIn type of service and give them a bunch of my personal information, I did that voluntarily and I don't think I should really expect a lot of privacy there. Unless there was an explicit promise otherwise.

Then you have cases like Equifax, where they have a bunch of data about me that I never gave them and they are doing a poor job protecting it. You could argue that I did consent to it as it was probably buried in the terms of credit cards or other credit documents but it's a reasonable expectation in my view that such data would be protected particularly since it includes critical identifying information such as SSN, account numbers, etc.
I'm surprised it's done this way... I'd expect that it just doesn't generate the mines until the first click.
I agree. I don't think GDPR would ever be passed in the US because it is way too heavy a regulation and does absolutely disproportionately impact startups and small businesses. By disproportionately impacting small businesses you stifle innovation and therefore competition.

I do think GDPR is a personal privacy win, but I'm also interested to see what happens in terms of tech startups and new products pulling out of the EU.

Sure. There is a lot of work left to do to bridge the gap between the formal model and Rust code. But we can be reasonably confident at this point that the libraries we've proven correct actually are correct (modulo translation errors), and we specifically set out to prove things about libraries that were safe for interesting or nontrivial reasons. That's a huge step forward. It means that, with some time and effort, producing codebases with formal proofs of memory safety can be done at quite low verification cost. The executable might need to be generated with something other than LLVM, of course, but using tools like CompCert is possible in these cases; the primary difficulty with it is normally that it only correctly compiles correct C, which is difficult to find in the wild to say the least.

Not only that, but thanks to Rust's type system being able to express separation logic invariants, we may be able to do many functional proofs of correctness more easily; right now, refinement types are mostly limited to systems like Liquid Haskell because it is hard to generate invariants for impure code, but by integrating with Rust's type system such things become possible. There is at least one research group currently investigating this possibility, and it looks quite promising. Such work entirely depends on the fact that safe code that passes the borrow checker must be memory safe and has enough annotations that resource aliasing can be determined statically, freeing programmers from the burden of manually specifying primitives like separating conjunction and magic wand. Invariants would be stated at the function level and verified modularly (on a function by function basis), rather than current state of the art techniques used by model checkers, which usually require whole program verification. This has the chance to put scalable formal verification of functional correctness for many common errors (like integer overflow and out of bounds array accesses) in the hands of programmers who don't have training in formal verification; I find that very exciting!

I'd also add: requiring the keyword unsafe actually is fairly important in practice. Without it, there wouldn't be a way to assert to the compiler when a block of code that used unsafe primitives was safe (I suppose you could use something like "trusted" to mark a block safe instead of "unsafe" to mark it unsafe, but I suspect the ergonomics of that would be fairly untenable). So it's not entirely right to say that unsafe is pointless; it's a necessary component. It's just a trivial one.
From your post it doesn't sound like you need it. What do you need it for?

> You're treating the safe harbor and notice and takedown as indivisible when they obviously aren't.

They obviously are both part of the DMCA, so you can't say that the DMCA imposes costs based on the notice and takedown condition for the safe harbor, because ignoring that condition leaves the host in the same position they would be in without the DMCA.

You can say that the notice and takedown requirement reduces the cost savings of the safe harbor compared to the hypothetical policy of an unconditional safe harbor, or one with alternative sets of conditions, but that's a very different claim than the DMCA imposing costs.

Part of it is development priorities. You can't launch a brand new system and hope to immediately take on the whole existing DSLR ecosystem, so mirrorless started out inhabiting the niches that weren't so well served by DSLRs, because within those niches (at least) some people will be willing to overlook the shortcomings. And then you can build on that, and produce newer models with fewer shortcomings, and maybe start to capture a bigger market.

Unless you know the shop owner, you would not be personally identified, and yes, in fact, it would be illegal to use technology that personally identifies you when you walk into a shop. The event that _somebody_ walked into a shop can be recorded.

> Is there an expectation of privacy while walking on the public street?

Insofar as no records are made of your movement, yes. It is illegal to record somebody else's presence in a public space, although fair use examples exist (in the background of a personal vacation photo, for example). There are zones with video surveillance, but those are generally clearly marked. The general expectation is that nobody who does not happen to be in the same place as you at the same time knows that you have been there.

That is, in very broad strokes, the current legal situation in Germany pre-GDPR.

So the 85/1.2L is somewhat of a specialty lens(much like the TS-E series) you'll find it's more used for portraits and the like.

I've rented it and it's a legitimately an incredible piece of glass(esp considering the problems the 50/1.2L has), I just didn't shoot things enough where I could justify laying out ~$2k for a single lens.

I do however own both the 35/1.4L and 135/2L which are both amazing lenses. The 35L is wide enough to be incredibly versatile and the bokeh rendering is sublime. The 135L has awesome reach and one of the fastest focusing lenses short of the big white L lenses which cost 4-5x. Only the 85/1.2L and 200/2L are better at obliterating backgrounds but they each have their own drawbacks.

I've also rented the 200/2L and that is also amazing(with a pricetag to match at ~$5k) but Nikon has an equivalent so it's not much in the argument of Canon vs Nikon.
