EU can write any law it wants. It cannot enforce it on anyone who is not have a nexus to EU.

Any hobby that gets to a point of making money in EU gets a nexus. Everything else is a FUD. Facebook, Google, Apple, etc all have nexus which is why it is applicable to them. JoeSchmoeLLC from Delaware does not.
Because they don’t offer DMs or DM metadata for sale. This Kogan guy had no special connections at Twitter or even Facebook for that matter. He was an independent developer using off the shelf offerings of Twitter and Facebook to get what he was after. If DMs aren’t for sale (they’re not) then he didn’t get them.
Yes, because nobody who's old now was ever a dumb kid.
I think that interpretation is absolutely correct, because the quote in question is "There is nothing shameful about marrying a man or woman..." which says nothing about the gender of the person marrying that man or woman. It goes on to say "...while holding each other's calloused hands at the alter", which, in the context, is easily assumed to be a man and a woman, but which isn't actually, as it's referring to the hypothetical person and the man or woman they are marrying.

Yes just like your Safeway loyalty card or your credit card uses the data you give. Or you voting and comments on this website is used to determine how to treat you here. Or the analytical data you have on your website. Or amazon.

Are you going to stop using all these services that track you some way or another?

Most digital companies wouldn't exist if they weren't allowed to use the data.

So instead of just blanket calling it something it isn't and something that certainly isn't unique to FB or Google why not actually discuss the fundamentals rather than scapegoting someone just because they are some of the most successful.

UofM EECS '08 graduate working for Plex Systems in Troy, MI. Plex (plex.com) makes ERP software, like SAP/Oracle. We're focused on the manufacturing portion, while SAP/Oracle focus on financials.

I grew up in Troy, MI - '04 Troy High. I now live in downtown Detroit, right off of Grand Circus Park.

Plex generates $115 million in ARR. Plex and Duo Security are the largest 'pure SaaS' software outfits in Michigan that I'm aware of.

Detroit seems to be no longer in freefall, certainly. And, I suppose, it is technically reviving, but the upward progress is slow, especially in comparison to the depths it has fallen. My nephews like to go down there with their friends, but only to a small portion heavily protected - and that's cool. But they have been taught by their father on the places to avoid and what to do if you accidentally get in one - he owns a business that is downtown and that business often gets robbed.

Feel free to take a view of a summer night in Detroit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztGzzvchcUQ
Moats: Why Tesla Can Do What Other Car Companies Only Dream About
This. A common answer to criticism of systems in need of replacing is that it is simply too big, too complex and depends on too many old legacy components to make any large changes to. The real solution is not to get into these scenarios in the first place by not doing any kind of maintenance work for decades.
> Few people anywhere have a problem with straight marriage. This statement taken in the context of the current cultural zeitgeist, sounds like an argument that gay marriage should not be allowed to exist. This type of statement often comes from someone who views the actions of others, that don't directly affect them, as a personal affront; someone who sees the existence of a different way of life as a personal attack. They often try to force others to to conform to their views, and then label any pushback they receive as bullying.

The statement you are quoting had nothing to do with marriage equality. I think maybe you are trying to ascribe attributes to whoever wrote that statement that do not exist. The person wrote "man or woman" in place of "person."

1,2) Probably yes, depending on your situation.

3) Probably not.

4) Ownership doesn't work that way. When you do 3 funding rounds at 20% each, you're left with 51.2% (1 - .8.8.8) not 40%. The co-founders 10% would be diluted to 5.12%.

In general, you see inflation in code size as the representation becomes lower level and more explicit. Traversing a larger volume of code to detect dead code is generally more expensive than traversing a smaller volume of code. This might not be true if the deadness determination is really expensive, but it's almost always worth doing some kind of lightweight dead code elimination before each stage of lowering to save time in the subsequent stage.

I follow the point you're making. We do have options and perhaps if we were worried enough, they'd be put into effect.

You could make AI research illegal. You could place massive R&D to human/brain interfaces. You could remove or reduce the medical device testing restrictions on the basis that this is an all-or-nothing bet for humanity.
"For people with ADHD, they grow bored when results are not achieved at the desired time"

This is really well articulated. At least in my case, this hit the nail on the head. The difference between me being bought in vs not is almost out of my hands. If results aren't happening at the rate at which is expect, I feel like I can enter an "autopilot" mode. Where I get things done, but I become overly complacent.

On the opposite end, when growth/results are exceeding my expectations, I feel an overwhelming urgency to push even hard, and more frequently.

In both instances I can feel like I get burnt out. Burnt from boredom or burnt from overworking. On some level, I think this contributes to a bit of anxiety (especially as it relates to work), but it's something I feel like I've learned to manage better over the past couple years.
GDPR requires companies to use “state-of-the-art measures” to protect personal data, which is intentionally vague because the state of the art obviously changes over time.

However, who will decide what the state of the art actually is at any given time? Politicians, lawyers, competitors, actual IT experts? The latter don’t commonly work for either EU or local authorities.

Because the laws are implemented by each EU member state that state of the art might even differ depending on whether you’re located in, say, France or Germany.
I totally agree. My parents own a 'cabin' in a development in the mountains, and the biggest cabin in the development -by far- is owned by a a plumber. He has done very well, and I doubt he writes much, if any, code.
10 years ago I did some work on a system that had been around ten years.

This system had the front-end done in Cold Fusion and the back-end in Microsoft SQL server. The CFML application did not do database queries or updates directly but rather worked through a set of stored procedures.

Since then I've seen a slightly more fashionable architecture where a "web service" provides an API that is lot like the API provided by stored procedures, and then a front end actually serves a web site.

I already have to subscribe to Comcast's "basic" cable (which is what used to be called lifeline; it has nothing my antenna doesn't, not even the History Channel/Discovery Channel type stuff that used to be on 'basic).

The reason is that they charge me less when I'm also willing to be a TV 'subscriber'. TV+Internet is cheaper than Internet alone. The cable box just sits in its cardboard box in the attic, I still use my antenna because the quality is better.
What is the point of changing the headline of an article like this? The headline was an accurate summary of the contents ("THE FRAUDULENT CLAIMS MADE BY IBM ABOUT WATSON AND AI"). Maybe you agree, maybe you don't. But the current headline is just wrong.

From the article:

> I will say it clearly: Watson is a fraud. I am not saying that it can’t crunch words, and there may well be value in that to some people. But the ads are fraudulent.

That's what this is about. Not "Claims made by IBM about Watson and AI."
> but these are all, culturally, working class blue collar cities, and there is really nothing wrong with that.

But if the blue collar jobs are drying up, there absolutely is something wrong with identifying "blue collar" as part of the local culture. There's nothing about working an office job or looking at a computer screen that requires you to drink $5 lattes. Turning up your nose at jobs that don't fit the local blue-collar "culture" isn't going to help any sort of recovery. This attitude seems to be part of the dangerous midwest mindset that if you wish hard enough, the manufacturing sector will rebound, and that's simply not realistic. Globalisation exists, and low-skill jobs can be done more cheaply in other countries. If you want a job you might have to take a white-collar one, and if you insist that your city is blue-collar the white collar jobs will go elsewhere (which they have already done, and which is why we keep hearing stories about detroit's decline).
You're considering the wrong part of the company (R&D) when evaluating efficiency. Big companies are efficient in terms of serving their customers and extracting money from them.

Big companies often end up buying small ones precisely to extract the efficiency benefits you cite.

Perhaps a good question is : could big companies' R&D be made more efficient?

In answering this you'll probably run into the question "who gives a crap about the things you want to be more efficient?" Most people working in big companies are focused on other stuff such as how to avoid being fired by their psychotic boss, how to get a promotion, how to get a good performance rating, how to get a better job elsewhere, and so on. Only sometimes are their motives aligned with efficiency and things like delivering good products.

See the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation fiasco:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Comprehensive_Compens...

These kinds of systems are all about the exceptions and how you enable humans to deal with those, not the rules and how the computer deals with those.

The problem is that the system first needs a comprehensive test suite written. THEN you could actually think about rewriting pieces.

> Unfortunately many, many people think that talking to your computer in actually already possible, they just haven't experienced it yet.

Given how often another person can't correctly infer meaning when people talk, I doubt it will ever be how people imagine it.

Initially, I imagine it will be a lot of people trying to talk normally and a lot of AI responses asking how your poorly worded worded request should be carried out, choice A, or choice B. You'll be annoyed because why can't the system just do the thing that's right 90% of the time? The problem is that 10% of the time you're just not explaining yourself well at all and 10% is really quite a lot of the time, and probably ranges from a few requests to dozens of requests a day, and while being asked what you meant is annoying, having the wrong thing done can be catastrophic.

As humans, we get around this to some degree by modeling the person we are conversing with as thinking "what would they want to do right now", which is another class of problem for AIs I assume, so I think we may not get human level interaction until AI's can fairly closely model humans themselves.

I imagine we'll probably develop some AI pidgin language that provides more formality that as long as we follow it AI voice interactions become less annoying (but you have to spend a bit of time before to formulate it).

Then again, maybe I'm way off base. You sound like you would know much better than me. :)

> I mean, with C++, the answer is something to the effect of "template expansion happens syntactically and generally has to be expressed in headers, leading to many megabytes of code that has to be compiled repeatedly with every translation unit". And that isn't really amenable to microoptimization. We all agree that it sucks, and probably can't be fixed with the language as it's specified, and chalk it up to a design flaw.

Isn't this what happens with rust too ? It's called "monomorphisation" there but everytime you use a Vec<i32> in Rust I would guess that what happens is fairly similar to a template instantiation.
I think it's a pretty common gesture, maybe meaning roughly "you won't believe this," or "I'm slightly breathless with amazement." My four-year-old actually does this gesture when describing something amazing, and I don't see myself or my wife doing it.

But gestures are so hard to translate. I grew up in Italy, famous of course for its gestures. One of the most common is making an "OK" symbol with your fingers and drawing little short straight lines downwards with it. What does it mean? I doubt many of the people using it could put it into word, precisely. But we learn it the way we learn language, the same way we use intonation to turn a statement into a question, without it ever being taught.
> has there been a significant breakthrough that explains this sudden surge in the interest in AI?

Yes. Some tasks like language translation, face recognition etc. have reached human level performance. Why has this happened? Large data and increase in computing power (Thanks gamers and GPUs!).
It depends on the note.

hmm, while this is cool i am not sure if it is a full-fledged replacement for the Google Finance "portfolios" feature. That lets you add the number of stocks you own for each symbol and shows you an aggregate gain/loss per day, etc. That was the main reason i was using google finance.

I have now transitioned to my own Google Sheet with the "=GOOGLEFINANCE()" function for getting the stock data. Works pretty well.
> Never replace anything unless the thing doing the replacing is better than the thing being replaced.

The problem is 'better' is subjective. Plenty of mechanics will tell you older cars are better because they're easier to repair, don't require specialist machine diagnostics, have manual buttons / levers / knobs that are easier to troubleshoot than digital versions.

To most drivers however, newer cars are better because they're more comfortable and convenient to drive around in.

'Better' means different things to different people.
The rule of thumb I tend to use in my head is that because of this communication and synchronization overhead, total output (in terms of impact) of an organization tends to scale not with # of people, but more like log(# of people).

That's at a well-managed company - with mediocre or poor management it can be more like log(log(# of people)), or "O(1)" (total output remains constant no matter how many people join), or total output can even decrease as the organization grows.
Can someone clarify what exactly is the legal liability that comes from GDPR?

My very basic understanding is that countries set up SAs (supervisory authorities) to deal with complaints, and have the legal power to sanction and so forth.

So is it only the SA that can take action against you? If someone wanted to harass you, must they complain through the SA, or can they bring a civil suit based on the GDPR?

I used to work for IBM, on a backend service used by various Watson (and non Watson) branded projects.

I think federation would be a better term. There was a core set of APIs and hardware that might be called "Watson proper" but each market segment would be handled by a different organization. And then there was the proliferation of odd ball things out of research or little groups looking for growth/stability that get Watson branded.

Sometimes we'd be the first time a team relaizes there is already something doing what they've been building.
As companies grow, it becomes harder to manage people and things, and therefore processes get created. To bring chaos to order.

Each process brings an overhead - someone needs to create the process, then some number of people need to manage the process, another number of people to document and explain the process to others and finally a group of really unfortunate people who will be forced to live with it.

All that happens is that the more people there are that need to use a process, the more people are needed to manage it. If the use-cases outgrow the process then someone else needs to come along and make a new process, and then even more people will need to come along and advertise the merits of this wonderful new process and to explain to everyone else how it works and why they should be using it. Suddenly you have more processes and more people to drive them.

You hire some more people because you realise that all these processes are all well and good but actually they aren't making you any money. All that happens is that these people are also inundated with processes and therefore are less efficient, because suddenly you're having to actually justify your work internally or to go through some kind of process and time wasted doing that is not making the company any money.

What happens eventually is that most of the people working at a big company aren't actually working towards the goal of the company whatsoever. They're just there to hand-crank a process. None of these people are actually revenue-generating, and the people who are actually there to be revenue-generating are slowed down or otherwise hindered by process.

The problem is self-perpetuating. Oh, no, we aren't making any money. How can we improve our processes to make more money? The cycle continues.
I don’t know, for a single member I think the LLC might be required to pay the income tax itself in that case. You can be sure that the federal government will want its taxes.

For multiple members it will be taxed as a corporation.

Not just high speed, I think I originally got the 40 Mbps plan and they made me get TV cable service when I just wanted Internet. I really don't understand why. They said they couldn't offer Internet by itself. The box isn't even plugged in and hasn't been for years.

Everything is handled by a different department by them. I upgraded to the 1 Gbps cable plan and it wasn't just a different plan, it was a different department. They had to take the old modem back and get a new one even though it was already compatible with the newer speeds.
