It is only antidemocratic if you have democracy. Can you really put a question "should the scientific research be published for free" to a popular vote in your country?

If your messages are not guaranteed to contain info about at most a single individual, wouldn't you need an encryption key to cover tuples of persons? If so, would the existence of a key for a given tuple be a potential privacy sensitive piece of info that would need to be masked?
They do, but you probably have to pay for the plan that includes manual checking. Works for IPv6 too: https://[2606:4700:4700::1111]/
Get up off the mat. Its time.
Third, it becomes more obvious when you stop thinking that computers are magic black boxes of digital pixie dust and realize they're physical artifacts, bound by the laws of physics. Then you realize there's shit ton of side channels available - places where energy escapes, where that energy is correlated with the processing the machine is doing. From there you get all of TEMPEST.

BTW. great you mention Person of Interest; I highly recommend that show. IMO it's still, to date, the best and most realistic discussion of superhuman artificial intelligence in the popular media. Oh, and they predicted Snowden.

Lately it's about 12 hours a day... till I get us to launch day on the clients app. Then we should get all back-pay they're withholding...I can burn both company/client to the ground, if I'm not paid eventually, and I'll pull the nuclear option if I have to.

Hopefully after launch we can afford at least 2-3 more devs, as pres. of software, I'm planning on making us be more 'lean' and spend less money. We got rid of the office/went remote for one thing. We'll focus more on full-stack devs instead of having frontend/backend people who would sometimes sit around and wait for the other team to finish something that was blocking them... working the back/frontend of the stack can alleviate those bottlenecks some.
Find something new-ish (e.g. AI, cryptocurrencies), and learn as much as possible about that thing (like, build a toy version of it, get an intuitive understanding of its parts). Product ideas and applications will jump out at you. The kind of ideas you get when you're deliberately trying to come up with ideas, are always obvious and often startup cliches (like food delivery).
Since when do you need to pay just to download a PDF ? Just remember there's peer to peer, and that the web is not a big black box where you can only deal with giant companies and their websites - there's freedom in it too.

Also: I think your attitude is quite symptomatic of a certain laziness of the research community, which has helped these counterproductive monopolies to rise and strive. Get angry, for once, because this is getting ridiculous.
The use case of someone who needs two gigabit fiber connections to their residence is exceedingly tiny and would have no bearing at all on spacex's market.

I can hardly imagine a situation where internet access is so critical at a home that you need two fiber lines anyway. I have probably had 2 hours of downtime in the past 3 years with my cable connection.
Something to consider is that your view might not be as widespread as you think.

I don't believe it's true that "you are whatever you tell yourself you are". Obviously you don't change if you tell yourself you're this or that because it takes more than that to change yourself. And also, this sounds like something you'd read in The Secret: all it takes to make something happen is to believe in it or think of it.

However, this is most likely not what Daniel really meant. In the same paragraph, he refers to a person who literally doesn't believe that they have the idea-generating ability. So then, what he really meant is related to someone's belief in their possession of ability to do something or make something happen. In other words, their belief in their power.

So, a better articulation would be: your belief in your power affects your power. Which makes sense; if you don't actually believe you have power, you won't try to use it, and you'll have effectively crippled your power.

This comment might seem trivial at this point, but I think the principle behind it is important. Namely, the principle of precise and accurate articulation of thought. The new articulation I presented is accurate, empowering, and useful. A person can directly use it and it will have a positive effect. The old articulation is confusing, inaccurate, and untrue, which I don't intend to say as an insult or an attack, but rather intend to say as an accurate description of how I understand it.

Now, you might think, "I understood what it meant given the context, and so did you, so what is the point of accurately articulating it?" I believe it is true that I understood it given context because I believe that's how I came to form the new articulation. However, the effect of understanding an idea from an inaccurate phrasing or wording is that the person doesn't have a proper articulation to give form to the idea, and so it stays formless, in the subconscious, and cannot be directly used, and the person isn't consciously aware of it. The only effect it has is that it influences conscious thought and requires annoying deconstruction of thought patterns to catch if it's a bad idea ("Why do I think that?").

In contrast, proper articulation increases a person's consciousness, self-awareness, power, and gives life and color to their minds as thoughts are being fully expressed (expression leads to colorfulness, lushness, etc. etc.). So your PSA for today is: strive for precise, accurate articulation in all of your thoughts. :)
I care! And I would care even more if they had my real phone number, birthday, or home town. They still have my real name, college email address, actual friends and family. And photos.

You can get by with significantly less than 1/N I think. The goal doesn't need to be infinite travel distances, just enough to get to the next destination. Personally, I'm unlikely to drive more than 1000km in a day. Any more than that, and I need to rest for longer than it takes a car to charge.

If electric rails are placed in the road frequently enough to extend the range of an electric car from 400km to 1000km, they've suddenly made electric more practical than gasoline for long distance travel.

Many of the electric buses in SF do have a backup battery. Not much range, but enough to get it back to the wire if one gets out of position. The older buses needed a tow truck if they became disconnected from power.
Musk says things close to this. He believes we eventually either expand into space or go extinct.

There are lots of potential filters that could end us: global warming, nuclear war, the eventual death of the sun, etc. Just getting a second planet gives us a ton of protection from many of these filters and we have to start working on a way to leave the solar system at some point, so it may as well be now.
Many of these examples are outright deceptive. But I always thought that when "dark patterns/dark UX" practices are discussed, people are referring to those practices that are not overtly deceptive, but yet come up very close to the line.

Twitter used to use JavaScript numbers to represent various ids in their JSON API. These are, per the JavaScript spec, double-precision (64-bit) floating point numbers.
You can only really use these to represent 53-bit integers, so they had to add string versions.

(see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/twitter-ids)
Do you have any data to show that this is a real concern with JS?
Terrorism and Human Trafficking are related in the sense that they're tiny statistical blips.. miniscule drops in the ocean of human activities.

However they sound so horrible that people are perfectly willing to sacrifice massive civil liberties to stop them.

They have a 'mood affililation' and will do anything to stop these activities without looking at the principles of what they're doing.

I'm concerned about the freedom of those being trafficked..I just think theres other ways to help them that don't involve eroding the foundation of the free web.

If I'm reading it right, this is about creating a legal equivalent of the "human error" defense for robotic equipment, such that the operating person or company can just say "whoops, the robot made a stupid mistake" and have that be the end of it, the same way they'd currently say "whoops, our employee made a stupid mistake."
As far as I know Meteor is losing a lot of support, while I used to like meteor, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole today because of some of the concerns others have brought up.. I'd say using microservices/api on any platform -python, koa, express, java, go, elixir, laravel, etc.. with vue or react on the frontend is the current trend/best practice.

For me, I know laravel inside/out. For me it's way better because I can build an app in a week using Vue+Laravel. Laravel also isn't coupled to mongodb which, personally I cannot stand nosql db's. There's been so many cases where companies have used nosql and then had to migrate to postgres because they need 'acid', or other features. PG has json data types, so there's no reason not to use it as a doc store within a rdbm.

What Zillow are doing is charging for certainty, buying a house is a huge financial decision - with potential risks.

As a seller, how much do I value a certain payout today? It's at least a few % points.

As a buyer, how much do I value a property which has been "Approved" and been fixed up? Again at least a few % points.

They can easily get a 5% margin, if not closer to 10% (especially if they do value-add improvements)

Then it is just about managing inventory, and not being overly exposed during a downturn - however depending on how their capital is structured are there is the opportunity to rent until it can be sold.
I'm also in the "everything is kind of okay in my workflow" boat. One of the major problems I hear about and encounter frequently is that biotech is a painful industry. Creating and selling new drugs takes decades and costs millions of dollars. This isn't some immutable law of pharmacology, it's because drugs have to be approved by regulatory agencies like the FDA, and no amount of clever engineering is going to make clinical trials less onerous.

I think just about every industry that seems, from the outside, to have exploitable conditions like this has hidden barriers. The taxi industry looked exploitable, but in fact was tightly regulated. Uber has managed to capture some of the market by pretending to not be a taxi company, and wound up in a plethora of legal battles for their trouble.

I propose that how obvious or necessary a business idea appears at first glance is directly proportional to how difficult it would be to implement.

Well, the board members of SpaceX, including musk, have a fiduciary responsibility to SpaceX only, when making decisions about what to do with SpaceX money.

Have you looked at dumping json-schema? Because then something like json-editor[0] will just work out of the box.

Got extensively tested with swagger v2(openapi)[1].

After the json-schema you write a quick swagger spec and modify a couple of mustache templates[3] to generate a crud interface for server and client. In your language of choice.

All with one magic yaml file; but file format agnostic as well;

Personally I struggle to read the json format.

I agree with your assertion that if GDPR expectations are high, they will be disappointed, however the "legitimate interest" claim doesn't trump the data subject's right to privacy in GDPR. As I understand it, you can only really claim legitimate interest if you're not doing any kind of direct marketing and are able to show that there is not undue impact on the data subject. There's a lot of conflicting information about this on the web but the actual language of the directive is pretty straightforward.

“The legitimate interests of a controller, including those of a controller to which the personal data may be disclosed, or of a third party, may provide a legal basis for processing, provided that the interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overriding, taking into consideration the reasonable expectations of data subjects based on their relationship with the controller. Such legitimate interest could exist for example where there is a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller in situations such as where the data subject is a client or in the service of the controller."

If you don't have a facebook account for example, you don't have a relationship with them and therefore have a reasonable expectation that they would not be tracking you.

Edit: Granted, the language is somewhat ambiguous and we won't really know how this shakes out until there is established case law later in the year.

>And before you complain about that being a compiler extension yes, it is, but it's also not rare, either, and you're probably using C libraries that do this.

I agree completely, but that doesn't change the fact that non-kernel software backwards compatibility is very high priority for Microsoft.

I find it a bit dishonest to claim MacOS did so much better without mentioning that they have a fraction of the hardware to support, compared to Windows. When the different hardware combinations are not greater than something you can setup in a warehouse, it's straightforward to test them all.
Yes. Forget about just not rendering the data in projections. Article 5.1e states:
“Personal data shall be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed [...]”

Article 5 contains concrete rules and also sets out the basic principles.

In short, you must be able to remove all information that may enable you to “single out” an individual (a physical individual by eg name or an online identity such as a particular web visitor by eg a cookie id).

> We are past the "pioneer" stage of space launches: We've done it lots of times. The exciting part is now making space launches cheaper, regular, and more capable. SpaceX is not the only company working on doing those things.

Sure. But SpaceX is still leading a way, and is way ahead of everyone else. And before they started, literally nobody else cared. Existing launch companies were happy with their status quo. I'm not confident that the other companies currently working on cheap launches would survive if SpaceX folded, so I still believe we need SpaceX in the coming years to keep up the momentum.

The dark matter is a gas not a solid. It's not orbiting the sun, it's orbiting the galaxy (technically, not even the galaxy, it's orbiting inside it's own halo mostly). The orbits of the particles would be highly irregular, going in all directions, many with very eccentric orbits, etc. The sun is moving through the "rest frame" of the galaxy at a ~constant speed, but the earth is orbiting the sun so it has fractionally varying relative speed compared to the rest frame (speeding up and down every year relative to the rest frame).
