Thanks for replying.

I think MoarVM/NQP are strikingly similar in their approach based on what I've learned so far about Graal/Truffle (which isn't much; perhaps a few hours of exploration; eg reading/watching the One VM to Rule Them All, One VM to Bind Them paper/video). [1]

Given the large number of Oracle employees working on Graal/Truffle (40 in 2016 according to the video) it doesn't surprise me that it's currently a lot faster.

Did you use Graal/Truffle friendly benchmarks (just as was done in the video)? Have you tried MoarVM friendly benchmarks to see where MoarVM shines? In particular, have you accounted for the new JIT that recently landed after 3 years of non-master branch development? [2]

Would you please elaborate a little on how MoarVM is insufficiently flexible?

TIA for any reply.

That’s not true on both accounts EU courts have no jurisdiction over non-EU entities and there is no process on how to arbitrate a lawful retention requirement which trumps GDPR between EU and none EU entities.

As for the taxation part of your comment that is again an incorrect statement in fact it’s categoriclaly false.

If I as say a Brazillian company want to sell goods to an EU resident I do not perform any tax collection other than the local taxes in my country.

In fact it likely means that I can forgoe some local taxes like VAT or sales tax due to export.

You as the customer are obliged to pay all taxation related to this purchase which is usually paid when the item clears customs as the customs duty.

The only cases when one would collect tax on behalf of another country is when there is an explicit tax agreement to do so and process to support it. This is extremely rare and usually only happens within shared customs unions.

As a non-EU entity I legally can not collect VAT on behalf of EU customers because I have no way of paying that tax on their behalf.

This term popping up again made me curious. To my surprise, that's not just some overloaded nickname (what's cooler than styling yourself with a military or martial arts term, right?), that's what they are actually called:

The cookie pop-up is an example of EU overeach. Doesn’t help privacy, doesn’t UI, and now everyone is just dismissing them.
There are also a few interesting options in the ~$100 price range.

One example is the new WandPi 8M. It's based on the NXP i.MX8M and has a few key advantages (particularly, true gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0). I've ordered one myself, but I'm not sure exactly when they're supposed to start shipping.

There's also the x86 based UP boards. They're based on newer Intel Atom SoCs, so my guess is that the out-of-the-box Linux support would be fairly decent.
Why isn't there a privacy watchdog that constantly monitors these kind of companies?

I also expect this watchdog to test for data leakage from one site/company to another (e.g. by taking on the role of customer).

They should do this on a frequent basis.

Without this, companies seem to be free to do whatever they want.
But what signals can third party domains get if third party cookies are disabled?

Is fingerprinting so good that cookies are now irrelevant? I mean most mobile devices have the same screen sizes etc.
has there actually been any suggestion/evidence that Facebook sells the data? All I'd heard is that companies like Cambridge Analytica were using surveys and Facebook's at-the-time lax data security to scoop up data about the friends of people who answered their Facebook quizzes.

I know everyone here wishes this to be true, but what data are you basing this claim on?
This article makes a compelling argument that it could be: http://privacylawblog.fieldfisher.com/2016/can-a-dynamic-ip-...

IANAL, but I'd be wary of saying that you'll be fine storing dynamic IP addresses. You'll probably need to have a rationale as to why you don't consider it.
「The initial plan was for the experiment to be expanded in early 2018 to include workers as well as non-workers early in 2018, but that did not happen – to the disappointment of researchers at Kela.

Something is weird about the translation, it talks about the sound of the fire alarm system destroying hard drives, but then includes this quote:

Did Michael Bay invent this fire extinguishing system? Seems like a not so helpful way to put out a fire.

We could make it easier for states to find and prosecute criminals by not requiring warrants and making encryption illegal, but we don't (and we shouldn't) because the peoples' rights are inalienable, whereas the rights of states, corporations and other entities to interfere with that privacy are not.

Yes, it would be more challenging, and inconvenient, and probably a massive pain in the ass not to log IPs by default, but if the end result is a weakening of the power of modern social media companies (and political and law enforcement agencies) to exploit people's data for nefarious ends without consequence, then society as a whole, and the web, benefit.

Mind you, I don't necessarily believe GDPR is the solution, or that logging IPs is unreasonable, but I do welcome the conversation people seem to be having about who owns their identity.
The risk is that some kid runs around the car and into traffic to get in on the other side. You want cars to go slowly enough to quickly brake if small children dart into traffic.
That looks like a whole load of horseshit to attempt to justify the unjustifiable. Reaping record-breaking profits while workers are mistreated and paid a pittance is not a "problem of scale" or whatever it is.
Must be a nice way to live, having full faith that your government will always do the right thing. Relaxing.
You can defeat inlining by using closures:

function thunk(x){ return function() { x() } }
const thunkFoo = thunk(foo)
const thunkBar = thunk(bar)

for(var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
thunkFoo()
thunkBar()
}

This is why the "Maybe you don't need Rust to speed up your JS" author was creating functions dynamically using `new Function()`.

Maybe you cal get away with

function call(x){ x() }
for(var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
call(foo)
call(bar)
}

I didn't test the latter though, whereas the former is empirically slower if you call more than one thunk in your benckmark loop (a single thunk will have the call inlined).

Article 3 is clear about the scope of the regulation when an entity is outside the EU. It states that it will apply where that entity is offering goods/services or is monitoring data subjects in the EU. Enforcement is a separate matter but the underlying law is clear. Art 2 then contains general exceptions to the application of the regulation also.

I am suddenly nostalgic for the Googlewhack fad:

"A Googlewhack is a contest for finding a Google search query consisting of exactly two words without quotation marks that returns exactly one hit. A Googlewhack must consist of two actual words found in a dictionary.

Published googlewhacks are short-lived, since when published to a web site, the new number of hits will become at least two, one to the original hit found, and one to the publishing site."

> But if you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t have anything to hide, right? Isn’t that how the saying goes?

The problem is that "wrong" can be anything arbitrary, and what's not "wrong" today, it can be "wrong" tomorrow, however arbitrary it is. Somewhere it is wrong (illegal) to call someone a "n*zi", even online.

Also anyone who tells me that they have nothing to hide, I ask for their password. For some reason they don't give me their password. Interesting, huh?

No if you aren’t a legal entity in the EU you have no presence in the EU.

If you would push for this the only thing that would happen is that companies would stop accepting orders from the EU.

If this is going to be the definition expect a lot of store fronts to be closed to EU residents following May 25th or more likely the first time this precedence will be set in court.

Single engine is easier in the piston and turboprop world (as the multiengine plane seems like it's trying to kill you if you lose an engine at low speed and high power [like on takeoff]).

In the jet world, multiengine ops become easier again, as the airplane is less trying to kill you in the event of a failure (much lower drag from a failed engine, no runaway prop concerns, less yaw from asymmetric thrust) and you have massive amounts of surplus power at low altitude. There are situations in a jet where you can lose an engine on the takeoff roll, even prior to lifting the nosewheel, and for the safest course of action to be to continue the takeoff, take the problem airborne, and consider a return or divert in the air. (Failures after V1 ["takeoff decision speed"] and before Vr ["rotate"].) There are no such times in the piston or (edit to add: light) turboprop world.

The safety rates and reasons are frequently debated. As a pilot who frequently flies my family around and is strongly disinterested in making the numerator part of the statistics, I read every NTSB fatal, every crash of the types I fly, and most of the serious crashes of other types.

My thoughts are that the pilots are, by a wide margin, the weakest link in general aviation (non-military, non-commercial) piston singles, making poor decisions on fuel, weather, and other dispatch-related topics. I'd bet that 3/4ths of the piston single fatals have pilot or dispatch (also pilot) as the root cause, not engine or mechanical.
Impossible for technical reasons, like data sharing between WhatsApp and Facebook proper. /s
Working in information security, I see this a lot in security practices for US companies. The client says "let's block all traffic from outside the US" because they don't do business outside the US. Then come to find out they have contractors in India... and a partner datacenter in Singapore, and oh yeah their factory in China. And now the CEO is on vacation in Costa Rica and can't get on the VPN. And oh shit, there's the field office at one of their suppliers in the UK.

I say this as an American who has never lived outside the US but who deals with international clients regularly: the US seems uniquely inclined (in my experience) to think that everything they need falls within their borders, and everything outside their borders should be treated with suspicion. I've never had a German client want to block all traffic from South Africa. That's just an observation, I make no judgements as to why that is.

I did have an American university for a client who said "we cannot block or otherwise discriminate traffic from anywhere, since we have students or staff in every country outside of North Korea" which is a refreshing outlook IMO.
What Bitcoin Is Really Worth May No Longer Be Such a Mystery
The threshold for determining establishment is a low threshold however there will still be various factors taken into account in determining whether that establishment is there (for Art 3(1), and indeed whether goods and services are being offered to data subjects in the EU (for Art 3(2)).

The mere availability of a website is not sufficient however to satisfy the above. Recital 23 below gives more details about those factors:

*Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller's,
processor's or an intermediary's website in the Union, of
an email address or of other contact details, or the use
of a language generally used in the third country where
the controller is established, is insufficient to
ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a
language or a currency generally used in one or more
Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and
services in that other language, or the mentioning of
customers or users who are in the Union, may make it
apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or
services to data subjects in the Union.*

You can't resign from conscription, some countries have a system whereby conscripts could serve non-combat roles; but usually it's fight or death/imprisonment.

Indeed, and that is the lure. And, when we read stories like that we get motivated to press on and never give up. But who writes the stories of someone who worked on a failed project for 20 years and never got anywhere? If we persist what are the odds that we will be the one for whom it works out?

The question of when to persist, how long to persist and how to pay the bills while you persist are very personal to me.

In 2000 I and a friend did research and the very beginnings of development on a semantic analysis technique that was notably better than anything we could find at the time including from Google and other search engines. But we couldn't find money fast enough and we both had families to support so we went our separate ways and did other things that were more commercial.

About 7 years later VCs started funding similar technologies. And, somewhere around 2010 to 2013 technology seemed to have caught up to where we were at in 2000.

So should we have persisted? It kind of seems like we should have. But, I have seen enough of life to know that sometimes a group of people have a lot going for them, winning awards, raising funding, rolling out product and still end up running into a roadblock on the way to commercial success that sinks them.

The value of Facebook and other digital services
What are your greatest weaknesses?
Why do we not assume that the site owner has the responsibility to protect how data is intercepted on their site? If said site owner allows their web page user to type their email into a form, a malicious script on the page can still intercept that data. FB assures the transportation of the data to the web page and once the transmission is triggered, up to its delivery, then the onus is on a site owner to govern the data. Furthermore, as an end user you have to be diligent in what you do online. If you come across a site that asks you to type information or log in with FB, you have to determine whether you trust the site enough and that you feel comfortable taking the risk of exchanging your information for the service at hand. Let’s not lose site of reality and remove emotional bias from this conversation.
