Did you actually look through those rental listings? A lot of them are super vague, some are probably scams, some list their rates per week not per month. Show me one with full details and maybe I'll believe it. Also, it says something that it's non-trivial to hunt down rental listings in that price range, not everyone has the tools or the ability to scour through listings to find the few legit ones. Also, show me a listing where moving in doesn't cost near $1k for the first month.
Whenever you make the recovery process easier, you make it easier for attackers to "recover" victims' accounts.

Switching from pseudo-AI to humans isn't necessarily better. I had an attacker successfully social engineer a support person into changing the email associated with one of my videogame accounts which had some valuable items.

Preventing attackers from getting my password is something I can do myself. Preventing attackers from "recovering" my account is not something I can do myself. So I prefer services to have difficult recovery.

Oh, One boy and one girl and It's quite obvious to me that they're differently wired. The daughter is older than the son.

They both enjoy making stuff but it's very different. My daughter gets a kick out of making intricate stuff (everything from common household objects like a toothbrush to things more elaborate like a multi shelf cupboard). My son mostly make elaborate planes and cars. He figures out some "technology" (like swinging door or hinge) and then all the things he makes uses that.

They have more now but only because Facebook gathered all of that, by themselves there's no way they could have the same kind of precision Facebook had.

There's no government program which records your position in real time, your interests, all the messages sent to your friends, the list of your friends, their occupation and where they are in real time, the news you read, all the information you are looking for... All of that in real time with an accuracy similar to Facebook (and aggregated as well, people often forget that most government files are not as neatly organised as Facebook...) . I could go on forever on the data Facebook has, no government program gathered as much as this, it's not even close. Not even the Soviet Union managed to get that much data on their citizens.

> What’s the issue? Some blocked sidewalks. As if that was a new issue in cities.

Yes, blocked sidewalks is the issue. And while I'm glad the author suggests a remedy — of creating designated parking zones — this is essentially describing dockable bikes. In my experience, docked bikes do not solve the convenience and availability problem well enough.

I've used dockless bikes recently in both Europe and Asia, and in the cities of both, dockless bikes are being literally strewn about the place. Flower-beds, narrow sidewalks, pedestrian junctions, private grounds, etc. are all being used as dumping grounds for users' dockless bike destinations.
I've even been on wild-goose-chases after multiple consecutive 'available' bikes, only to realise that they must be literally taken inside peoples' property and homes.

Why?

For the former, I'm pretty sure it's simply a 'not my problem / not my bike' issue. Private bike owners usually have to lock their bikes up somewhere out of the way, and generally seem more respectful of their bikes' surroundings. With dockless bikes, it's just to easy to dump your bike in the middle of the sidewalk and not have to deal with any consequences. Certain bike hire companies are trying to deal with this by incentivizing certain parking spaces; however, why would you bother getting +10.CoolBikeXP for going out of your way when you can chuck your bike on someone's lawn right outside your office?

And as for the latter, because people seem to be getting away with it. People are so lovely [/s] that they'd seriously consider just keeping a rental bike inside their home, thus ruining the service for nearby users.

I want dockless bikes to be the future, and I think they should be, but we really need to fix users' docking behaviour, or else we'll end up with tragedy-of-the-commons[0] type consequences once enough people start using them.

[0] — this is a tenuous analogy, but for lack of better phrasing, I'm referring to the ultimate widespread abuse of potential public / open docking spaces.

Google is not accessible to about 1.4 billion people because the single government of China "dares" to censor Google. That's close to 20% of the world's population.

This article's author has a chip on the shoulders regarding automobiles:

> pick up their cars and drop them off _anywhere_ in the city

(emphasis mine)

Really? One may not park a car _anywhere_. There are typically laws dictating when, where, and for how long. Whether the laws are respected or enforced are a different matter.

Individuals inconsiderately stranding means of transportation across the city is patently unsafe. I can sure as hell see a car misparked on the sidewalk when walking and avoid it because it is big and in the field of view; but with a bikecycle or scooter there is no guarantee given its small size. Each day feels like game of Mario Kart: am I going to trip over a banana someone left in the streets? FFS.

I would be happy if the cities issued fines/citations to the individuals responsible for improperly discarding the conveyances. A protocol already exists for rental car companies; why not for rental scooters/bikes? This is perfectly solvable.

(I am no defender of automobiles and view even the most urban cities of the United States as hopelessly car-bound.)

You seem to have complected extensive indiscriminate data collection with simple advertising and the more fundamental point of connecting and serving people.

You can use a combination of advertising and payment to fund services that connect people and facilitate commerce without extensive privacy destroying data collection. This model worked fine previously and it will work fine in the future. If anything hardware and tools are damn near amazing compared to the bygone past.

I struggle to think of any service in the world that is impossible or even challenging to replace. If anyone decides to take their ball and go home they will be replaced by a competitor who will use that extra revenue to improve their positions in other market to the original fools detriment.

There is in fact no reason to believe other markets including the US wont ultimately discover the merits of protecting their citizens privacy considering that in the US perhaps 171k work in the advertising industry out of 300 millions.

How the 0.02% can do an effective job without trampling the rights of the 99.98% is an exercise I leave to them and if they can't figure it out, then I hope the food stamp program still exists so they wont have to stand outside 7-11 with placards reading "will lie for food".
Processing without consent doesn't work for multiple parties.

You can't claim that because you need to provide service for someone else you need to process data of non-users.

The users of which you collect data is required to be part of the service or contract to fulfill unless you have a damn good reason not to and "we need to provide this service because we go belly up otherwise" won't fly, IMO. A legitimate interest would be stuff like "we will make backups of our data, ensuring that deletion requests are carried out upon restore, to continue providing service in case of disaster" or "we will log your IP temporarily because we need to provide essential network and information security"

Just to back it up, I have missed this in news, Max Schrems already tryed (with class action of 25000 FB users), but had no legislation to back it up, with GDPR he got the green light:

"Europeans will in future be able to bring US-style class actions for (alleged) privacy violations, instead of having to sue individually and expensively. It’s thanks to a little-known clause of the EU’s GDPR, which comes into force in May."

And maybe for non-EU users, don't complain about GDPR, back it up, you will give your legislators a powerfull signal and you might also get the protection of your fundamential human right.
Imagine that the coral reefs were going extinct. How long would it reasonably take to go from full health to gone? 1 year, 10, 100? Geologically speaking, having an entire biome wiped out in 100 years is insanely fast.

The point is that it may well be under grave threat your entire life and still exist when you die. That doesn't mean it isn't under grave threat. There have been northern white rhinos in existence my entire life. There still are presently: 2 -- both female. Last chance to see...
Thanks for that, link seems down unfortunately. I use data.table a lot but would happily switch if the dplyr family of packages work.

Would love to use this in Rstudio for exploratory analysis which would also need ggplot to work. Quite often have to cancel long running tasks when exploring a data set, so even if its a bit slower for interactive tasks but much faster for longer running tasks would be huge. E.g. typical interactive finished in 1 second instead of 50ms, but large loops that would take an hour finish in 10 minutes.
I mean, the coral are dying because the ocean temperature has gotten too high. Donate to yourself and stop using fossil fuels, that’s the only way out at this point.

Back of the envelope to double check:

Some estimates put the internet traffic at 2^70 bits per year and growing. For any short sequence of N bits, there are approximately that 2^70 such sequences transmitted per year. Let's assume that, since they are encrypted, they are uniformly distributed. So what is the sequence length for which our p(seen all) = 50%? Seems like 71-bits is about right.

There traffic growth curve is probably ~2x per year, so each year we add 1 more bit each year. The sum of all internet traffic for all time, at present, is therefore about 1 more bit.

So ~73 bits.

Math checks out.
You've answered a different question:

How likely are the substrings "11" and "10" to appear in binary strings of length 3?

rather than:

Is the sequence of '111' as equally likely to appear as '010' given that 1s and 0s are equally likely to appear?

It doesn't take 20 years to design and build a fighter. You put tighter restrictions and timelines on the process and shit will get done faster. Especially since now this sort of technology isn't as bleeding edge as it used to be, and 3 separate fighters are easier to build than one fighter that is magically able to do 3 separate roles with "slight modifications" (which over time slipped into a realm of only 30% commonality between the versions).

You go back and look at programs like the F-14, which grew out of the failure of the F-111B program to see how things can be achieved. The F-111B was cancelled in 1968, the F-14 was flying in 1970 and entered service in 1974. Things might be more complicated today but the idea that it takes 20 years to bring an aircraft into service is insanity. SpaceX hasn't even been around for 20 full years and they've already gone from literally square one to building several generations of orbital launch vehicles, pioneering the landing and reuse of first stages, built a space capsule for cargo delivery to the ISS, and is nearing completion on building a manned spacecraft.

The way to ensure that it does take 20 years (or infinity) to procure an aircraft is to carefully avoid any consequences for failure to achieve the stated goals of a program in terms of schedule, cost, or capabilities. And we're certainly doing that quite wondrously with the F-35.

It’s tricky: Law enforcement data collection has its own, separate directive, the LEDP (https://edri.org/data-protection-directive-law-enforcement-l...), which will come into force at the same time.

Member states have argued that intelligence services aren’t covered by EU law (their management is reserved to the member states), but since the basic principle of data protection is embedded in the European Charter of Human Rights, you can argue that EU residents (indeed, everybody) should be protected. It’s just that, unless individual countries write it into their law or a court successfully asserts its jurisdiction, there is nobody to enforce it against the intelligence services.
In addition to what 'claranmcnulty said, that just means that your local government is willing to enforce their allies laws because your society has decided that's valuable to them. You're not going to see north Korea and the us supporting each other's citizens for instance. If your government doesn't want to support EU decisions then the EU still can't do anything to you beyond limiting what you can take in and out of the EU
It is solvable, typically by city government. No doubt if there are sufficient people annoyed by discarded scooters overcrowding the sidewalks then the city will be compelled to act. The city may designate specific zones for such discarded conveyance, or they may designate zones that are to remain free of such. They may choose to redirect police efforts towards ticketing those "littering" the streets with these devices, or they may choose to ask the police to create a blitz of enforcement, among the various enforcement options. They may choose to revoke the business license for entities providing such conveyances, or they may choose to enact new taxes to pay for the management.

There are many options, and city governments are entirely appropriate to make the choices. I encourage you to take your grievance there.

It looks like quite a few flagship devices are getting or have gotten the update to 8 or 8.1:

> User's generally won't care about privacy, but they will care about money. What this essentially boils down to is Facebook is charging users by taking their data, which is worth some amount of money.

That money is not coming out of their pocket or paycheck. If Facebook ceases to exist tomorrow, the user does not have more money in their pocket. So long as that's the case, the users overwhelmingly will not care. They've been demonstrating that for the past 14 years. Essentially nobody thinks Google is just magically free either, users understand advertising. People have been listening to 'free' radio and 'free' TV for generations.

While I agree with your underlying point, Amazon does deserve special attention because it tries to win hearts and minds, in fact it's the backbone of their branding operation. This letter is a perfect example.

FedEx does not have the hearts and minds of customers, everybody expects their employees to piss in bottles and would switch to the first lower cost provider available.
