I really don't understand those artists and writers you mention. Why on earth would they not use their own platform to present their content?

This doesn't remove the ability to promote and share your content elsewhere. Content creators really can have it both ways. Publish on your own site and link to, share or duplicate that content on Facebook, Instagram, Medium, Twitter, RSS, Soundcloud and any other service that may be relevant to your audience.
Or what the article and research by AEI and Thomas Sowell has implied: you'll be able to afford a house when you're older since nowadays you become more valuable the more knowledge you gain.
Of course you can always do illegal stuff. GDPR won't change that. You can still buy e.g. stolen credit cards on the black market. But personal information? Doesn't seem worth the hassle, especially when you can anonymize it and keep using it. Or get consent. If you're smart enough not to get caught, you're probably smart enough to come up with a business model that isn't shitty.

These laws make hard cases easy cases. The only reason it didn't work here is because there were some very exceptional circumstances. Even the suspect wasn't sure he had not done it and the combination of DNA evidence + plea bargaining skews terribly against suspects, even innocent ones.

DNA evidence is like a magic bullet for crime, DNA found -> guilty is the norm, not the exception.

As far as the statistics are concerned: we do not actually know the false positive rate.

Ha. I'd actually laugh if it wasnt so tragic.
Which reminds me of a paper I once submitted to HN, »Gravimetric Radar: Gravity-Based Detection of a Moving Point-Mass« [1]. But I don't remember much about it, especially how far this was from being practical and not even how credible the paper looked. But given that I submitted it, I must at least once have thought that it is not total nonsense.

US hardly has a monopoly on AI. Canada and China are also leading countries. It's great that the EU wants to invest too, the more the better! Science doesn't hold allegiance to any country and never should.
After peeking at that BP My Home Plugin - wouldn't your use case also be covered by Nextcloud with a sprinkling of apps? There's a very capable RSS reader available, notes apps, calendar with CalDAV support, address book with CarDAV support, and so on. Depending on what you're actually trying to set up, that might work better than trying to shoehorn functionality into a blogging platform.
>There's a book I recommend that is a compilation of most of Glenn Goulds letters, they are incredibly beautifully worded.

Sigh, almost makes you wish for the days when it really cost something to publish words, and not every moron with a wifi connection could tweet to the world one more banal opinion adding to the noise saturating everyone's attention spans.
No smaller normal company or Google or Facebook will be able to “fully comply” at any point in time.

Which makes it ripe for abuse. By making a regulation that is impossible to fully comply with, they have created a situation where any (or all) of the 28 countries in the EU can fine any company at will, because they're never fully in compliance. Further, individual users can seek compensation under GDPR - companies will be deluged with such claims.

Just having to depend on the goodwill of regulators who you think will just be attempting to enforce the spirit of the law is a terrible position to put companies in. When these countries and individual citizens are starved for cash, all of a sudden the letter of the law will be the only thing that matters, as is always the case with regulations that put all market participants in violation by default.
My understanding is that Earth imports almost 100% of its energy without generating any for export. Would you care to see what happens when its foreign energy supply is truly cut off?

> I really don't understand those artists and writers you mention. Why on earth would they not use their own platform to present their content?

Ease of use. Plenty of folks don't have the skills to set things up and keep them humming along, nor do they have the funds to play someone else to do it for them. So they hand over a bit of control in exchange for a platform that's set up and kept up to date.

You may argue that they're giving up too much control, and I'd agree with you, but that's not how most (non-technical) users see things.
Target the site, not the users. Simple as that, arguably you'd have much better accuracy targeting an interest rather than trying to profile each IP anyway.
Idk, I'm 26 and bought my house at 22. I also don't eat avocado toast, YMMV.

The schadenfreude is strong with this one. Maybe next time try treating your researchers less like cattle and start paying them market value salaries.
You don't need to think about them. If you a state library like redux or mobx, chances are you'll never touch Context API at all.

Hopefully by the end of the year. It's one of those situations where the emulator works great, but there's no game as such for it to interface to yet, and I'm sort of struggling to come up with basic gameplay mechanics.
Honestly, having worked for startups for three years, joining FB was a breath of fresh air. I know my level, I know what is expected of me. When I say to my manager 'I want to get promoted' he says 'ok looks like you're on course' (or not). My compensation is no longer based on how much my manager likes me, it's based on my work and how I present it.

Startups were a mess of failed products, misguided work, and managers who showed no interest in managing, let alone investing in the growth of their reports. Good management is awesome.
> Extensions do not come in at the volume of YouTube videos.

Unfortunately, reviewers who can vet extensions for malicious code also come in lesser volume than reviewers who can watch YouTube videos.

> But there's little to gain from an endless supply of browser extensions.

Debatable. Every move by Mozilla and Google in the past to restrict add-ons has been met by criticism from developers. I doubt many here would share the love for the Windows Store.

> Microsoft has (finally) figured this out: There's a few dozen Edge extensions which Microsoft has vetted, and that's it.

I'm sure Microsoft's gatekeeping has kept many shoddy extensions out of the store, but the fact that Microsoft introduced support for Edge extensions only recently compared to Firefox and Chrome and that Edge has relatively low marketshare probably also factor into the low number of extensions available.

> In my given example, the issue is the ability to read and modify content on all websites you view: This permission should only be granted after extreme scrutiny, whereas an extension which can only access a single domain and does a simple thing needs only a cursory glance.

The add-ons I use that can be restricted to a limited number of domains already do so, but most of the add-ons I use must be able to access any given site in order to function: password managers, tab organizers, etc.

It's true the permission is powerful, but if you're going to ask for "extreme" vetting of extensions which use it you might as well ask for extreme vetting of all extensions since legitimate use cases are not exactly a small category.
This sure doesn't seem like it.

Shippable's Journey to Microservices
Indian parents who do not like girl child will agree with you. Even the most conservative parents do not doubt female ability. It is just that they prove less valuable than male child for following reasons.
1. Parents have to spend more time/money to ensure her safety.
2. The money she earns does not become part of the family but goes to her husband as she leaves house.
3. You invest on her education she get a great job and buys a big house. You don't get to live there her husband gets that house.
4. If she is educated she wants more educated husband which means you have to pay more dowry as there is more competition for highly educated grooms.

Even if your daughter is that kickass smarty pants you stand to lose.

PS - All these problems mellow once the income level of people rise significantly as people marry through love marriage etc. But there are other skews because majority of Indian girls fall in ugly category hence men compete for 5% of girls in love marriage market where as no one goes after the 95% one.

I wrote a script bash-for-recording for myself a few years back, for invocation by termrec, which set the window size to 80×24, set HOME to a new empty directory, set USER and NAME to dummy values (creating an actual new throwaway user account would be better here, but I was lazy), set TERM to xterm-256color (I think it was), cleared the environment (env -i) and possibly one or two other things, set a deliberately very simple and obvious prompt (which sets the title as well), cleared the screen, then finally started a nice clean bash profile.

I should pull out my old laptop or my backups and resuscitate the script.

The example at http://tty-player.chrismorgan.info/ was generated using that script.
True, but that relies on the company itself raising the level of work that it's doing to justify the title change. Coming from a small company with an inflated title just makes you look pretentious and silly.
I fully agree.

German media constantly complains about "IT expert shortage" yet salaries grow like 3% per year. So IMO it's either not a shortage or the German industry doesn't know how to attract good people.

To put some data points there (in EUR)

1. Germany Uni Doctorate Position: 32k, 22k after deductions

2. Germany AI / Data Scientist Position: 80k, 50k after deductions

3. Luxembourg Uni Doctorate Position: 32k, 26k after deductions

4. Luxembourg AI / Data Scientist Position: 80k, 60k after deductions

Source: Friends and family and me

The above two countries belong arguably to the economical top tier, yet they can hardly compete with a US Senior Software developer (>= 100k$?)

Now imagine how the non-top tier countries fare (i.e., 80% of the EU population)

I was an AI researcher and now work as ML/AI/Data Scientist consultant (mostly for non-European companies) and I yet have to see that European job offer of 120k€ per year, hell, make that 100k€.

Except, if it turns out that there is actually not an easement, then the same applies to you. Pretty high stakes for a question that likely can only be decided by all parties doing the research to become fully informed, presenting arguments to a court, and then waiting for deliberation.

Due to the way the legal system works, much of this ambiguity is unavoidable, so the reasonable thing to do is to not escalate the situation physically. But then this creates an incentive for one party to act in bad faith and misinform the others, so that they can benefit in the meantime or even discourage the question from being investigated.
Is it? Before all this tech only specific targeted effort would store information about me. Now everyone is tracked by multiple entities all the time.

It's not about undoing participation in information sharing. GPDR does not require Wikipedia to delete everything I've contributed, but the fact that I have contributed is subject to be deleted if I request so. Furthermore, there must be explicit opt-in, and that is a good thing.

It's a trivial problem to purge from the backup, really. It's not a hard problem to solve. Many companies have done so before, and now we might even see standard tools to do so.
There are other implementations, such as Curio (https://github.com/dabeaz/curio) or Trio (https://github.com/python-trio/trio). Both are simpler and more hand-holdy (and less footgun) than asyncio.

Disclaimer: I am a trio dev, though.
Are you defining "worth it" as whether there is a profit to be made at some point? How much would you have paid for the higgs? Are some pieces of science best left in the dark because they cost too much?

When people say "RSS" they really mean articles delivered with RSS.

And most people use "RSS" through an app(lication). My point is that the economic model that powers podcasts can power articles through RSS as well.

What actually brought it to mind was a hardware class where we were instantiating a bunch of the same module but didn't have a programmatic way to do it with our tooling. So...sorta like loop unrolling :)
Going slight OT but related is the use of Gravity Anomaly Maps to aid submarine navigation. There are quite a few diverse papers about it but I think information about any real capabilities are largely under wraps.
> * package management and modules actually work

> * huge ecosystem of packages

This is satire, right?

NPM (both the tool, and the repository of packages it pulls from) are a joke to anyone outside the NodeJS bubble of Stockholm syndrome.

A company that was given $8M in venture capital and can't find more than two people to work on the main way people interact with their service, cannot be taken seriously.

Remember when everyone found out that the progress bar made NPM install packages 3x slower?

Then lets get into the actual 'ecosystem'.

The community actively encourages and embraces the sort of culture and decision making that leads to an entire module to do what you can do with this: `$foo % 2 === 0` (i.e. 'is even')

You would type more characters just requiring the module than you would just using the modulo operator.

Then you find out the same author published another module that literally just calls the other one and negates the returned result.

Let that sink in: a module, to do nothing more than prefix a function call with a `!`.

No fucking surprise the 'ecosystem' is huge. What other people call "writing code" NPM module developers look at as another opportunity to bump their ridiculous package count e-penis.

You can use NPM and NodeJS if you want, you can even "like" them. But don't for a second think that the community and practices of that environment are "good" by any comparison.
So that's where my question is. Can we store the complete information an electron carry optimally, like in a space smaller than the electron itself?
This leads to the question: is this possible to save the current state of universe in a space smaller than universe without loosing any information?
We were thinking of getting a Roomba, since we have a dust bunny problem as well. Seems the only useful home automation so far. But even that one sends a map of your home to the manufacturer which can then sell the data to real estate agencies?
> I still don't understand how this is going to be enforced.

As much as the "cookie law" was enforced. 99.9% of all websites on the net were in infraction. To people supporting this under pretense of fighting for privacy, it will have no effect on Facebook or Google business model.
> Most other package managers I use don't have enough packages to be as useful.

Let me guess, no `iseven` package?
YES. There is no limit to the cost of modern science, but resources are still scarce in the real world and we cannot afford to spend unlimited funds on projects that will not pay off in human flourishing in the near future. To answer your first question that is the profit to be made and it absolutely is necessary to consider when directing tax dollars which could otherwise be spent feeding starving people or curing dying people. I would have paid $80 for the Higgs.
Trouble is, it's not really a "market". EU universities are (mostly) subsidized from other people's taxes, so calling for "market salaries" is essentially calling for increased taxation. A tough sell, especially given the distant, lukewarm connection between the people paying and the people being paid.
You should ask more questions in /r/thinkpad[0]. But here's a quick summary for the models that matter for tech people:

- T4XX = 14", T5XX = 15", X2XX = 12"

- The middle number is the last number of the year (T460/X260: 2016, T470/X270: 2017 etc.).

- The T-series has had three models per year, the normal with no ending letters that has an external battery, allows you to replace parts and is mainly meant as a durable corporate workhorse. The s-version is more for consumers, with usually better choices for panels and building material, but more integrated parts and less amount of maximum available memory; no replaceable external battery. The p-version means performance, so the laptop is bulkier but holds a faster 35W CPU.

- P-series are workstations. The s-model holds a ULV CPU, but the normal P51 and P71 can have Xeon/Quadro level parts. They're either 15" or 17" and for some mysterious reason annoy everybody with an off-center keyboard and a numpad.

- X1 Carbon is a 14" ultralight laptop with usually the best screens and best building materials.

- From the consumer models, the only thing that matters is the Yoga series. Don't have any experience from those, but people seem to like them.

The level of fines looks like it will be harmonized by EDPB (a board of all Data Protection Authorities) so individual DPAs will probably not be able to set arbitrary levels. There are also the one-stop-shop rules so a company will normally only have to deal with one DPA.

When it comes to compensation, you have to show what material or non-material damages you’ve suffered. Class actions are generally not a big thing in the EU. Sure, there is an exposure here but in practice I think it will be very limited, especially for smaller companies.

Ugh, "entitlement" as a pejorative. God forbid someone advocates for their own interests.
I agree - i would not include ECOOP and Curry On in systems research. They are prog language conferences.
Systems research are the USENIX confs (NSDI, ATC, Fast),
SOCC, SOSP, OSDI, Eurosys. Typically 10-30% of papers are european (often with American co-authors).

I think things have gotten worse, if anything, since Peter Druschel's article on the state of systems research in Europe a decade ago:
https://hal.inria.fr/inria-00444781/document

In any case, the largest systems software company in Europe Nokia, went belly up due to a crap OS. Now we're left with SAP, who are just trying to protect last generations' software (a DBMS and its stack). Where are Europe's next big players? And why do they sell out so quick (MySQL, Elastic, JBoss, etc)?
Augmented Reality – The next revolution in Digital system
I have found linkchecker to be unreasonably slow by default, very fragile if you try to make it any faster (e.g. occasional socket errors with almost any concurrency, regardless of the purported ulimits, in a way that suggested some kind of socket leaking to me at the time), and possessing fairly bad reporting. Also, on Windows, being built with ancient Python meant it didn’t support SNI, so I had to delve into it to figure out a way of turning TLS verification off to make it work pretty much at all, which also hints at its generally poor configurability and surprisingly poor documentation (given the fact that there is actually a moderate amount of it).

I still use linkchecker (because I’ve never completed my Rust-based link checker that I started several years ago), and have extended it at work to support client-side certificates which we use on CI, but I’m generally fairly unimpressed with linkchecker.

I think you're thinking of Audi (Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm) or Volkswagen (Wolfsburg) middle of nowhere towns with a severe lack of estrogen. Mercedes/Daimler and Porsche are in Stuttgart, a major city (for Germany at least). BMW is in Munich, doesn't get much more major city than that.
