Local DPA, local courts, local MPs, industry unions, EU MPs, EU high courts.

And please tell me how say I as a small merchant in any country outside of the EU can get in touch with them and get services from any of them.

Better yet please tell me how a lawyer in Mexico or the Philippines would be able to advise me on GDPR unless they are part of a top tier international law firm which operates in the EU and has experience with GDPR.

Please let me know to which non-EU bar associations were provided with materials and guidance and have conducted workshops and seminars in order to ensure that they would be able to provide legal advice on this manner by a DPA or any other EU regulatory agency.

>You would definitely not get GDPR advice at the Citizens Advice as they have more important matters to deal with.

Wanna bet? citizens information board (CA in Ireland) already offers such service (so does Citizens Advice Edinburgh), in the UK the ACF provides GDPR related legal council to foundations, a lot of other industry organizations offer similar services.

> I am certain they would also provide to a non-EU company looking to comply. You present it as a clear distinction between EU vs non-EU companies but that simply

They will not provide any service or information to you, in fact they are forbidden from doing so trying contacting an MP who isn't yours or an agency outside of your member state.

>We can agree to disagree on the pros and cons of an extra-territorial law but don’t misrepresent the position in terms of help available to EU vs non-EU companies.

There is anything to disagree about, this isn't about extra-territorial law this is about extra-judicial application of it which is tyranny since you are applying laws and regulation outside of the scope of international law and frameworks. The fact that you accept this as something good makes me think that the brexiters might have had a point.

>Also your point about hairdressers is nonsense. A non-EU based hairdresser is very muh out of scope of GDPR!

I think you should practice on your reading comprehension I'm in the EU on the 25th of May I am submitting a data access request letter to my dry cleaner (I like my hairdresser), Pristine Dry Cleaners just for the lolz and to show just how ridiculous it can be.

I know for a fact that they have my name, address and phone number since it was required during registration and I also know that their branch in East Finchley shares the same database as the one in Lancaster Gate since I've used both despite being different franchises so I really want to know who they shared those with.
Could be like Richard Hendricks in Season1 huh?
They've fracked with their developers so many times already. What's one more time going to do? I think many developers remember what FB has done in the past. They've changed virality, forced the use of FB credits, limited access to newsfeed, released really broken APIs, etc...
I work in a warehouse full of them, I see them more often than I see my own family. They do one thing well, but still require human intervention at times and still run into each other now and again.

Other facility jobs, like picking and stowing, run up against vision and fine motor skill problems that turn out to be really difficult for AI and robotics to solve. They'll be automated eventually, but I don't think it will be soon. I might be wrong, though.

That's like saying that stray bullets aren't a problem because they'll stop the first time they hit anything.
I'm certain, that there is a more effective model. It might or might not be known at this point in time and it might even be closer to social constructivism than to mechanistic pragmatism. Can you tell for sure?

In any case, that's not the point I'm trying to litigate.

What I'm trying to get at: Given the obvious flaws in pure capitalism (as there would be in any "pure" ideology), how can we reject the need for checks and balances?
I think the idea is no ads -> nothing to target -> no need/value for personal data. Sure, maybe Cambridge Analytica can scrape Scuttlebutt or Mastodon but then what can they do with that data?

Wait, how is that actually different than what our brains do?
From what I know, our cognitive system is built in quite a similar fashion of probabilistic pattern matching with backpropagation, coupled with some "ad-hoc" heuristic subsystems.

I know it's not optimal because Twitter neglects it, but I find the lists feature to be useful enough for curation.

I follow quite a few accounts on separate lists that I wouldn't want to follow all the time in my main feed.

> If you expect to take more than 2 - 3 hours of someone's time, you should be paying them.

Do you want to work with team mates who have been vetted over less than 2 hours? I've worked with people who couldn't code, it's not a fun experience.

There are a lot of people who can talk a good talk but can't actually code. This was the reason for the FizzBuzz test (which I dislike, but it was invented to solve a real problem).

My current employer would not be able to do contract-to-hire or a trial contract for legal and policy reasons, and I strongly believe that a homework assignment taking approximately 2 hours, when combined with another 1.5 hours in person provides the best signal of all the methods I've tried. That's a total interview process of 3.5 hours i.e. about half a day. If you can find half a day for an in person interview then you can certainly find the same hours split up differently for homework + in person.

Trying to make it about sexism is crazy. Homework is much more flexible as to when you do it than in person interviews. Just because you're looking after kids doesn't mean you won't be able to take a couple of hours when they're asleep or in school. If doing homework is a problem, then I'm sure doing an inperson is even harder.

Our homework + inperson extension is on a topic related to our real field, not just a compsci quiz (which means it gives you a chance to show off domain knowledge if you want the extra points), allows no frameworks (except testing), produces an interesting artefact at the end, and can be completed in less than 100 lines of functional code plus a smattering of test code (although many will do more, sometimes crazily so - for which they lose marks). There are exhortations in the instructions to keep it simple. You can schedule when you want to work on it yourself, work on it with your own tools and hardware, split the time over a couple of weeks if it's difficult to get a block of time together.

The only real question is the time commitment. I've targeted 2 hours, but many spend around 3 or so, and some spend more on it. Setting an 8 hour challenge for my kind of work woud be entirely unfair to the candidate, unless that was the total time spent on the entire interview process.

I've hired with a number of different processes, and this one takes the least total time for the candidate and seems to have given me the best results.
It's the opposite effect IMO. A good test is more likely to keep the better candidates and only reject the poor candidates.

The exercise is sent upfront. A good candidate can estimate that it's a reasonable program doable in an hour. It's up to him to decide whether he wanna continue the application or not. Either way, both parties win.

A bad candidate who can't code cannot return anything. Little risk of false positive.

I think the only important thing is to keep the exercise short enough, one or two hours top. It doesn't exclude people who have a family or other obligations.
I'd be interested to read his opinions on top managers getting huge leaves after bringing companies belly up, or those who happily decimate their workforce without thinking of the consequences. In the old times one could claim a piece of land then cultivate it, mine it or use it as he/she wanted; surely not easy at all, but bureaucracy was next to not existent. Today one needs to own a land, then get permits, etc. My point is that we shifted towards a society where you have to own something even to start. People losing their job today cannot count on the same opportunities jobless people had centuries ago, so they have to work for someone; if they lose their job they're essentially dead.
Where is the end game? The problem with this kind of AI revolution is that it relies on data about us. And this is responsible for the feverish attitude towards collecting or scraping data, sometimes from the public domain, but more than usually, from us. I for one, am having none of it.
You will like to hear that there is some rstudio integration in the works.

As a senior level engineer who's currently job searching, this trend is really burning me out right now. I'm at the point in my career where I don't want to work for just any random company (I've already worked for NASA and done client work for Young Money, Carrie Underwood, UFC and more). All of the positions I'm applying for are highly competitive. My resume performs well; I get interviews at 70-80% of the companies I apply to. And I usually have 3-4 interviews that go well. Then I get to the final stage, unpaid take home projects that last anywhere from a few hours to a week. Many of those go well too; I get feedback from companies saying they're really impressed by my work and that they'll talk to their team and get back to me with an offer. And then a few days later I get an email saying that they think I'm a really talented candidate but that they're moving forward with someone else. Over the last month, I've been working 50 hour weeks, unpaid, on code that's looked at once and then never seen again. It's really demotivating and exhausting.

I think there are a couple of solutions to this;
1) Instead of unpaid sample projects, companies could offer paid trial periods where you work on real problems and get paid, with the option to continue as a full time employee after the trial.
2) Instead of doing tens of sample projects or exercises, one for each company you apply to, you could be evaluated one time by a third party and that evaluation could substitute for technical interviews done by the companies themselves. It would save companies the cost of evaluating candidates projects, and it would save candidates the cost of proving themselves time and time again. The evaluation could potentially be handled by different entities; tech recruiters, certification bodies, or standardized tests. This may be what companies like HackerRank are attempting, but they don't really seem to follow through with job offers.

As it is, I'm trying to find a solution to my own job search. If anyone has any recommendations on how to find a job without burning out, I'd love to hear them.
From what I've seen, away from the coasts between $70k - $100k.

So by what value is market-value determined then?

If X is willing to pay Y the value is Y.
There are plenty of options. Programmers only just have to pick one, or create a new one for all that it matters. For instance, NCEES that runs the Professional Engineering accreditation that every other Engineering discipline utilizes, has a Software Engineering PE. Tomorrow we could grandfather in every Senior Dev with 5+ years experience as a PE and then start requiring it, and encouraging kids to train for it and acquire that accreditation.

One major proctored exam scales a lot better than every company for themselves reinventing an almost proctored exam.
Actually I'd say its relevant for the article. As it states, non-profits can't give out stock, so the salaries are larger.

I am of a similar opinion. There was a real revolution in ~2011-2013 with deep learning. These have achieved much better results in image/speech tasks. These gains have leveled off, and we're seeing some limitations.

At current trajectory, we're not headed towards a general intelligence. Progress has been made, but there are big gaps. Smart home devices are a great case in point. They are somewhat flexible in the voice commands they accept. Specific phrasing and pronunciation are not necessarily required. Their responses and speech, however, are all pre-programmed and templated by humans.

Edit: There is potential for more breakthroughs in the future, but I am not seeing them on the horizon at the moment.

Well, it might move it a bit, once word gets out and other people want a cabin too, like Bill Gates.
The original assertion that advertising and data sharing are equivalent. But even in your examples the information is still fire-walled.

Google can know that you're expecting, because of a congratulation email. Facebook can know you're expecting, because of a life event. Arbitrary companies can't know who their baby store ad is being shown to.

You can argue that Google and Facebook are too big, and data being shared between YouTube, Gmail, Google Adwords, etc. is suboptimal. But that's still better than a company that will freely sell a database of information to be resold, mixed, etc. forevermore.
You just don't care about throwing away 3 days of your life? I have my own projects I would rather work on.
Funny -- I actually see that as the single most important factor distinguishing folks making $1MM and $100k. There are plenty of overpaid geniuses, but really even more underpaid geniuses.

> Maybe it's a cultural thing, but it seems to me that more guns simply mean more opportunities for shooting people.

I think it depends on the people. So perhaps it is a cultural thing.
Civil Engineering has a huge gamut in specializations and in the last century has seen quite a lot of technological change; programming isn't as special as it thinks it is here. A credential test doesn't have to cover everything, it just has to cover the foundations and get some sense that a person is capable of life-long learning and improvement.

Just to emphasize: There is no limit to the earth's gravitational pull. The formula is F=G*sqrt(m1m2)/r^2.

So as r (the distance between the center of the earth and your satellite) increases, F decreases. But it never hits zero.

Though after a while (a Sun-Earth L point, is it?), the influence of the sun will be greater (by orders of magnitude) than the earths.
In my case, I don't care about the "privacy protection" of a given social network: I assume that everything I post is public (except private messages), so I filter what I upload based on that assumption.

Things I do care about:

-No censorship

-Chronological feed

-Open source & non-abusive client. (i.e. no tracking what users see or read)

-Good usability

I don't care about abusive content or fake news. If I see fake news, I just stop following whoever posted it.

So, under my criteria: decentralized > facebook
How can this be so? In my experience playing Starcraft the decision space for macro is very, very, very limited. You are essentially locked into a handful of viable build orders for the early game, a handful of timing attack opportunities in the early and mid game, and after that things veer so off track that very few players do more than wing it.
Cost runs actually about the same, jet fuel is about $5 dollars a gallon probably cheaper wholesale the issue comes from even though hydrogen produces more 3x energy per kg than jet fuel the energy density is 3x less per unit volume. Meaning you would need bigger fuel tanks per distance travelled which would require modifying the airframe to be bigger in addition to having to add insulation.
>> Otherwise they might as well not know how to do it.

> This is some real crazy talk here. The idea that you should limit yourself to the particular set of knowledge you wish to make money off of is insane.

Crazy talk? That's what you get when you blatantly ignore half of what I said. In the previous sentence I quite literally asked if these want to be doing data science to begin with. If they don't have any interest in it, then it doesn't matter whether or not they know how to do it as far as the company is concerned; they're not going to be doing it either way. Nowhere did I ever suggest that it's somehow a good idea for people to be limiting themselves to a particular knowledge set.
And really only adversaries will be willing to go through that trouble.
Hmmm. I'm skeptical. A Lucene term lookup is stupidly fast. It traverses an FST, which is small and probably in memory. Traversing the postings lists itself also needs to be smart by following a skip table, which is critical for performance.
If someone offered me three times what I think I’m worth I would assume something extremely illegal is going on. Like if you talk a ot this they will never find your body.
Snowflake has their own storage unless you opt for the enterprise version to have it stored in your own account. They also use their own table format (like BigQuery) but you can always export it.

It's true that AWS has Redshift Spectrum (and Athena) to help with more scalable querying across S3, however I don't think that makes a big risk for another company that provide a focused offering on top. Snowflake is very well capitalized with close to $500M in investment and plenty of customers so I wouldn't worry about them going out of business.

I especially like them because they have the elastic computing style of BigQuery but charge for computing time rather than data scanned, which is a much more effective billing model than anything else out there.
It has the ability to watch keys so building a notification system on top of it is pretty easy. Really only limited by your imagination.

> you should be able to take Lucene's nice fast immutable data structure and stuff blocks of it (at the term level or below) into FDB values very efficiently.

That sounds a lot like Datomic's "Storage Resource" approach, too! Would Datomic-on-FDB make sense, or is there a duplication of effort there?
I have 3 tests I use:

1) did you pass linear algebra?

2) show me some code you have written and deployed

3) here's Learn Python the Hard Way, start reading and come back with questions.

In the modern era, I have not found anyone who can pass test 1 and doesn't know code (except for 1 mathematician who's like 70 and no one cares if he can write code, his ideas are so insanely good that other people write his code for him, despite their day jobs). These people execute and come back with challenging problems for me.

Anyone who passes test 2 seems to be able to pick up whatever task I give them. I'm not entirely sure they understand what they're doing all the way down, so there's more review, but they can generally execute. Questions go back and forth.

If I get to test 3, well, no one has come back with a question yet.

What this tells me is there is plenty of signal in the culture that math and programming ability are valued. The people don't, ain't never gunna.
> It doesn't make them wrong but it does make them careless.

No, it doesn’t necessarily make them careless. It could simply make them agile and adaptable. A bird can perch on a dying limb, grow, and fly away when it breaks off.
1. You're forgetting that the candidate has to do this for just about every single job they're applying for. You're also forgetting that they likely have to do this while doing their normal day job.

2. You mention the money. Tell me, what is the exact dollar amount that one has to make before they have to stop complaining about this?
I, for one, hope it doesn't really grow. There's a lot of abuse in the "contract-to-hire" space, where the company tends to dangle that carrot of getting the job at the end of the contract period to get the applicant to work lots of extra hours at lower pay, only to be told at the end, "nope".
I've see quite a few comments on the workplace stack overflow where a 25-35% premium for contractors was considered generous and considered "normal" for the USA instead of the 200% / 300% id expect in say the UK

I'm in that group you interviewed. Didn't know what perm-gen is although I've seen it in errors when java used up all memory. Next question was about Hibernate's different caching levels.

I've been rejected enough to eventually learn all these. Then finally when I got hired, questions were the very basic define static, inheritance etc.

I knew it was a matter of numbers and should not mind the devastating feeling of rejection. But damn, you can never know how it feels experiencing tons of rejection until you do.

> body position incompatible with life

This is the first time I've ever heard/read this phrase. What is an example of a "body position incompatible with life"?
I agree. In fact, I don't like the term Artificial Intelligence. It kind of implies that we understand what intelligence is, thereby able to emulate it. In my opinion, it is not the trait of an advanced species to attempt to create something that we cannot adequately describe.

I mean, all these "structures" and algorithms that people create in software, each a little different than the last, each with different performance/result trade offs. But nobody actually understands the fundamentals as to what is behind some of the very impressive results we are seeing (due to the technology allowing us to throw computing horsepower at it).
