On one hand I don't need to see ads for products I can't buy - say an advertiser has a product only available in China, they would want to run these ads targeting only chinese viewers.

But on the other hand, until there is a better solution than todays targeting wild west, I'd be happy to out law ALL targeting.

That is: it would be illegal for e.g. facbook to show an ad only to chinese viewers, or only to women, regardless of whether the viewer themselves willingly gave facebook this information.

Obviously this would destroy most "free" online services over night - but I'm completely fine with that. "It's the etch-a-sketch end of the world".
I've seen those videos around for a few years now. Altough the one linked in the article is of a high quality (relatively speaking). Does anybody know how to create those? I tried it with FFmpeg and espeak but never actually got anywhere fast.
It's already tested in Germany (a Berlin train station afair) for viability with volunteers. A similar test a few years ago failed (too many false negatives, afair).

It certainly can get very complex. Diesel emissions vs electric cars. Emissions in a city where everyone is inhaling the pollution vs in the countryside where it disperses quickly...

No, that's not true. Private R&D is almost 10x what public R&D is, at least in biotech.
That’s reasonable, but you did originally say “physically goes to” rather than “colonises”.

Or stop raiding pensions and other tax receipts to pay for other underfunded government obligations (resulting from inane tax cuts that only benefit the very wealthy)?
I checked. Riegeli says the file format is not frozen. Therefore, while it may have support, I wouldn't recommend anybody use it.
You need to find them first. At this point, this is already moot.

Electric jamming won't work if they are wired.
No, that's an extraordinary leap to make. Private medicine still manages to provide diagnostic services in a much better way than governments.

Not possible because of physics. Unless they branch into a completely different portion of the spectrum with all-new satellites and some communications tech that is as of yet unknown, they really cannot miniaturize the receivers.

Hey Drupal developers out there!
Were you planning to relocate to Europe and work in one of the most beautiful cities, in Budapest? What about coming and working for the company that have just achieved the Global Select status as an Acquia Partner in 2018?

Equally ironic: kowtowing to the wealthy has been the republican rhetoric for as long as I can remember.

There's no question that Trump's motive here is to get back at Bezos for things that The Washington Post publishes. You're arguing in favor of a president using the power of the executive branch to punish a political foe. Do you really think that this is ok? Does the fact that Democrats are usually the ones complaining about the wealthy make you feel better about this?
I followed that YouTube link and currently skimming the performance. This is a hell of a concert.
It looks similar, but it is subtly different. It's not uncommon for headlines to use "{{location}} man" to describe what country an event happened in.

This has spawned the amusing FloridaMan meme: https://www.reddit.com/r/FloridaMan/
Why not just 'quantitative ease' the differences? We seem to have no qualms about it when it comes to burning cash on private corporate initiatives.
You can't just keep taking new lessons. You have to do "strengthen skills" or go back to practice older lessons on a regular basis. In fact, the new scoring system they just released with levels (crowns) for each lesson is supposed to emphasize this; to really complete something, you have to go back and practice it many times.

When I do duolingo, I usually try to do about a two to one ratio of strengthening skills or going back to older lessons with taking new lessons.

Well it's essentially eat right, drink water, get some rest, etc. Not the mumbo jumbo you see in Hollywood movie.

I can't think of any scientific experiment that would conclude: burn out, eat junk and drink mostly beer.

I’m a Fedex Express courier in a rust belt city. Fedex pays well enough that, even when I started part-time, I was able to afford a mortgage payment on a three-bedroom in a quiet neighborhood.

I've listened to interviews with the creators of GPS and they were very clear that it was always intended as a dual use military / civilian system.
It does when they switch apps and the other users can't legally do so.
Who is "they" here? USPS? Commercial carriers? Junk mailers?
It would still require that the company that develops the cure could make more profit off it than it would make with chronic treatments.

No it doesn't. Why? Because there are multiple companies.

If company X is making $10B per year on a poor treatment, there is still an incentive for another company to create a cure, even if it only makes them $1B.
The Challenge of using C in Safety-Critical Applications [pdf]
what's the problem here?

This sort of automated policing forces people to live in fear. Having to live by the letter of the law makes society paranoid, and that's distinctly unhealthy. It makes it very easy for a corrupt government to extend their control over the people too. And lastly, everyone breaks the law in minor ways. You might speed in your car by a couple of mph, or jaywalk once in the wrong place, or drop some litter in a controlled area. Just imagine living in the knowledge that a mistake like that will be caught, and you will be arrested for it (and maybe lose your job and livelihood because of that). This is definitely a bad thing.
Mapping can never solve this problem. If these cars don’t yet have the ability to detect stationary physical barriers that represent a crash risk, then they are further away from being practical than I thought, and I’m extremely pessimistic. It is clearly a hard problem to solve with naive tech. Unfortunately we have a huge industry and tens of billions of dollars and politicians, corporations, governments, and media who all believe this naive tech is close to perfect. But it can’t see a wall or a fire truck in its path? If this isn’t solved then this whole house of cards will fall apart. The sooner the better, IMO. Let’s start building cars that supplement driver awareness instead of numbing it.
>Strong government isn't afraid of anything

Does USA have strong government? Why does it force RT, for example? Because strong goverment wants to control its mass media and information in general.

There are lots of memes about Putin, for example. Nobody cares. Got visit http://lurkmore.to. Enjoy your silly 'freedom'.

Yes, so there is no "right to remember" and the right to do business is not the "right to make money" doing business. So you're at the very least misquoting your lawyers.

17(3), and in more detail 89(1) closely circumscribes the scope of exceptions. Specifically in the context of the post you replied to: There is obviously no public interest exception that would allow you to keep the data around because a specific technical implementation becomes more convenient/cheaper if you do.
Good point!

Looking at Recital 50 there may be possibility to use information for other than the original purpose if the new purpose is compatible.

But another interesting thought: Can Marketing hold as a legitimate interest?

Lets look at Recital 47: The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest.

Interseting finding you think. Reading this again the word may is striking. Ok this is not a Carte Blance. And since there is Recital 70 which states:

"Where personal data are processed for the purposes of direct marketing, the data subject should have the right to object to such processing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing, whether with regard to initial or further processing, at any time and free of charge. That right should be explicitly brought to the attention of the data subject and presented clearly and separately from any other information."

So where does this leave us: Yeah we can use Data for Marketing and it well may be a legitimate interest of a company. But we will have to inform the data subject that it can object the usage.
By default Kafka has no mechanism to delete records from the event store, apart from a TTL.

You can enable topic compaction which can be used to delete records by overwriting them, but compacted topics just don't make sense for a lot of Kafka use cases.

So the only option left is the one suggested in this article: encrypt everything with individual keys and delete the key (rather than the data) to comply with GPDR
Crowded in LEO and the narrow ring of GEO, but elsewhere it's pretty open.

An orbit that would be opened up by cheaper launch services is VLEO (very low earth orbit) where orbits decay in a year or two. There's virtually no debris there because of the decay, and if you can launch cheaply enough, you can treat your satellites in that orbit as disposable--an ongoing expense rather than a capital expense.
I would rephrase that to "basic science that could lead to drug discovery".

Public universities can do some initial poking around, but are utterly incapable of actually developing a drug. They've tried and failed many times.
Another thing is that people want to measure success in profit or less taxes paid. A proper healthcare system should have it's success measured in how many citizens are able to be productive because they're not chained down with accommodatable disabilities, curable chronic illnesses, and extreme medical debts.
I used to work for a video streaming site. They did background checks as a blanket policy for all employees. Personally, I disagree with that position. However, the team I worked for ran the subscriber management system, meaning we basically “ran the till”. For something like that, I think a credit monitoring service is appropriate. But for the rest of the team? It’s a waste and intrusive, and, as others point out, makes it hard for people with a record to reintegrate into society.

I don’t agree with blanket policies. Policies should be tailored to risks associated with the situation. Some jobs need it, most don’t.
>I also don't remember NSA or CIA raidering people's companies and putting them in jail for shares in the social media networks.
Because all the companies are already forced to give all the information NSA/CIA needs. Go read Snowden papers.
I’m confused about how hands on the wheel is “enforced”? Just chiming and blinking lights? Or does the car actually shut off auto driving mode when you remove your hands?

Facebook Graph API – getting daily spend per ad set?
I suspect you're going to be very disappointed by the outcome of the GDPR.
Making the agencies do their reviews in parallel seems like a safe way to speed up the approval/review process. I know we tend to be cynical about any change like this in government processes, but I'm trying to have some (IMHO reasonable) hope here.

I tend to skew very left politically, but I'm having a hard time seeing Democrats/Enviro groups' opposition to this as anything but strictly political. They often champion the idea that government can work and do so efficiently. For once I'd like to see them support an effort to do just that.

Could you both be correct?

Yes, managing healthcare 'like a business' with an emphasis of profit over results produces bad outcomes for patients.

But managing healthcare 'unlike a business' with no emphasis on results also produces bad outcomes for patients.

Managing healthcare for the benefit of healthcare workers also produces bad outcomes for patients.

Healthcare should be managed in terms of producing results. Metrics would be a good discussion, eg "good quality of life hours added to life" "hours in acute pain reduced" or similar.

Point is, we need something to measure, the primary measurement shouldn't be profit.
There are already other companies doing the same thing, mostly OneWeb.

SpaceX absolutely could deny selling rockets to anybody as rocket launch is not a monopoly.

OneWeb has contracts with ISS, Arianespace, RocketLab, BlueOrigin and so on. Non with SpaceX. I don't know if that is because SpaceX denied them, or if they just don't want to work with them.
I'm not talking about competing with mobile networks. I'm talking about fixed wireless service.

Last year someone demonstrated the possibility of dumping and restoring the state of the security hardware in between entry attempts, so that the phone always thought you were on your first try. I assume this is the technique being used by the GreyKey.

EDIT: Pretty sure this is the one I'm thinking of: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/cambridge-researcher-ha...

I guess it was two years ago.
It also only works if you have enough ads. Take Youtube as an example: They don't have enough ads available in Denmark for them to display enough ads sufficiently targetted towards the correct segment.

The result is that I see the same three or four ads all the time. Currently it seems to be 50/50 if I'm show a One.com ad before a video.
His methods are efficient under the constraint of "not resorting to mass surveillance". I'd feel better if that constraint continued to exist.
What about Golang?
1. set up scrapers to get the filler content- text and video/audio

2. read text using text to speech, produce audio file

3. use a library like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/moviepy to combine them

4. auto upload to youtube

5. profit!
Another way to measure is replication costs.

How hard would it be to create another SpaceX if it failed as a company? My guess: Under $10 billion, but it would take 5 years, even if you had many of the former SpaceX people.

Facebook, on the other hand, because it involves buy-in by over a billion customers, is weirdly harder to replicate.
Be more useful to invent an electronic that can cloak you, or jam the cameras.
Looking at the bigger picture here, US has always been the closest thing to the Free Market idea, but lately, the government has been taking some measures that go against this idea, this is one of them.
This is also a poor analogy. To an alcoholic, alcohol serves no (or very little) useful purpose. However, to a technology addict, technology serves both useful and useless purposes. My suggestion is to build technology in a way that maximises the usefulness to a user and minimises the uselessness. There are two dimensions to work with and you can make changes to your technology that moves you along them independently.
Ask HN: Multiversion backup alternative for Crashplan
I have been using Crashplan for Home for backing up my NAS. I need to find an alternative as Crashplan will stop providing this service in October 2018. I haven't been able to find a decent alternative.
My main requirements:
- Protection against data loss/fire/disk failure (cloud backup)
- Protection against ransomware and accidental changes (multiversion backup)
- Encryption before sending data
- Cost effective solution (500 GB of data)
- Must be able to backup a QNAP NAS
- Bonus points for being able to restore data on a different device using a web application or app

The main problem in the solutions I found is that multiversion backup to the cloud is not supported from the standard QNAP software (only sync).
What would you recommend?
I'm not sure why this is news.

This is happening already in a lot of countries.

For example in The Netherlands we have facial recognition in street cars so they can detect people who have a public transport ban. Since 2013.
I agree that Facebook provides digital value through its social media and messaging platforms, but Facebook’s business purpose is to sell things to consumers. I’d rather have engineers work in physical industries where they can improve goods and lower the waste produced, rather than simply sell more of less efficiently produced goods.
I think medical science hasn't yet realised that being a politician is a treatable illness.

You know, like how society tolerates smokers - it's an addiction, it's just actively encouraged and very profitable despite the actual loss of citizens.

First we can replace the politicians with sophisticated emulators (in the vein of bash scripts) then we can come up with even better algorithms, ones that would stop stealing or facilitating corruption. We could call that version two or something.
Stop with the clickbait: an "AI" is not running for mayor. At best, if we want to stick with the term "AI" we may say "someone has entered an AI in a Japanese mayoral race". This kind of misleading hype is how previous AI winters happened... (and I haven't even addressed the capabilities of this "AI").
Your solution is needlessly complicated and overreaching. How about you just make it illegal for doctors (as in the people who actually write the prescriptions) to interact in any way with pharmaceuticals companies? Outside, of course, of simply reading specifications on drugs and seeing what they do.

If the people who administer the care have their incentive disconnected from the amount of time the patient spends in treatment, that seems to solve the problem.
They earn less money off of a cure than a palliative, but not everything the health care industry does is treating disease and the health care industry isn't one company. If one company owns the patent on a popular AIDS treatment, that would not at all stop a competitor from offering a cure if they had one. It's not company A's best interest, but it is in company B's.
Thanks, I learned something new today: "noun pile-ups" allow the insertion of many key words into a small slot. It's something I've noticed unconsciously, but now I can recognize it. Interesting that the practice is more prevalent in the British press.
It's the same logical fallacy
Sure

The Tor hidden services actually being used (as evidenced by the .onion address given above being relatively short) are what's called "v2" hidden services. You will see other people saying, oh, this is all fixed, Tor hidden services are much safer now. And maybe v3 really is better, although their documentation sure has a lot of TODO / FIXME lines for a "finished" protocol version. But that doesn't matter so long as in reality it's v2 hidden services people are using, so that's the subject of my critique.

The first scary thing is a v2 hidden service's uniqueness depends upon 80-bits from a SHA-1 hash. Technically although SHA-1 is broken that's not a hole in this part on its own, but for comparison HTTPS is using SHA-256. 80-bits is also worryingly small. I clearly can't guess my way to an 80-bit second pre-image using what I know today, but if a further crumbling of SHA-1 gives me a boost maybe it's possible.

Next is the public key crypto used, this is 1024-bit RSA. I think you might technically be allowed to still do this in HTTPS, but I haven't seen it for years, everybody is either 2048 or 4096 bits, or they've moved to an elliptic curve that's stronger.

Now, I should be clear all this seemed pretty good when Tor was invented, and the new stuff in Hidden Services v3 is pretty good today. But cryptographic recommendations don't age very well, and Tor sat on this problem for far too long, if the above .onion name was a v3 name and I was seeing widespread reliance on v3 hidden services I'd have shut up.
