>Once you've loaded up the SPA once (ie. your 4 second delay), you are able to do multiple searches quite rapidly as the subsequent post requests are tiny

I don't think parent poster is talking about initial page load. Instead, the search page's javascript intercepts every keydown event so you would suffer 4 second round-trip delay for every keystroke. (You can go see this in browser's developer tools by setting a breakpoint on the keydown event.)

Instead of this:

[4 seconds] page load done, type "Ruby"

It's this:

R [4 seconds] u [4 seconds] b [4 seconds] y [4 seconds]

More examples of this keydown latency frustration are retail websites like homedepot.com and lowes.com. When you're at home on a fast fiber optic connection, the keydown events work fine. (Customers generally like the "autocomplete" feature that the keydown javascript code enables.) However, when I'm at the store with a mobile phone on a slow 3G connection, each keydown takes 5 seconds and it makes it impossible to use the website.

> But the solution for this would be easy, Investor must be given the choice if he wants to allow/disallow the bank to loan out his deposit. Similarly how it works with long positions at a brokerage firm.

That is totally wrong. That solution has existed for 100s of years and you can have 100% reserve accounts now if you like.

The reason its not used now is the same it was not used in 1800 Amsterdam. People want interest.

We don't need a 'solution' its a perfectly fine system IF you actually allow banks to be real companies and not part of the government protected services. The problem is the government saving banks.

Note, I have nothing against monetary policy during a crisis, but that should focus on the avg. bank, not at saving bad actors.
UBI is not too different from a lot of the social programs (Social security, Medicare, etc) that grew out of the turmoil of that transition, though. Just a difference of degree, IMO.

Also, a jobs guarantee could do many of the same things (and similar to some of FDR’s programs). We might do both.
I'm afraid I disagree entirely. If your business is aggregating data in order to sell more effective advertising then you are walking a line and need a lawyer. If your business is selling widgets and you collect personal details in order to complete orders then you are just going to have to write some documentation.

I can tell you as someone who is working in an old school retailer/wholesaler we are not, and neither is anyone we are talking to through various trade bodies, employing lawyers to do GDPR.
Consumption: 7M Gallons/day = 26.5E3 m^3 / day (fed to foxconn's personal black hole)

Corresponds to 4.6E-7 m/day or about 6 years for one millimeter or about 150 years for the oddly specific 25.4mm you were asking for.

If we take the 39% loss figure from the article, we get 15 years/1mm and 390 years/25.4mm.

This seems to be similar case. but I doubt that user access token (that you need to access that users data) is somewhere on github. app user token sure (as sometimes you have to ship it with the app, or app can be opensource), but user access tokens are like passwords, so they should not be in the code.
Data Protection Officer. There are a few situations where you MUST assign a DPO (large company, or systemic monitoring or processing of data, or processing of protected data). If you're talking about a tiny side project with basic data protection and you're not doing social scraping, GDPR will likely ignore you.

I used to work in a fab. As far as I know, there's no acceptable way to remove native oxide without HF. We do have another etch process -- dry etch -- that uses plasma instead, but it causes surface damage, and you don't want that under the gate. Also, dry etch chambers are a lot more work to maintain than a fume hood where you do wet etch. Furthermore, dry etch has its own set of hazards, and you have to deal with a lot more potentially toxic vapor.
If I remember correctly in the book: "1636: The Chronicles of Dr. Gribbleflotz" he made "aqua regia" from "aqua fortis" and "acidum salis" I don't know if either of those were his name for aqua-regia + HydroSulphuric Acid. I know he called ethanol "aqua vitae" by repeatedly distilling wine. He also had "Oil of Vitriol" which he added to saltpeter to make "aqua fortis". He also talked about adding "Oil of Vitriol" to "aqua fortis" but doesn't say what it makes. I think maybe "oil of vitriol" was hydro sulfuric acid, but I am not sure. Perhaps you can find more or someone else can remember. (I used: https://www.ericflint.net/index.php/2016/06/03/1636-the-chro... to quote what I mentioned here.)

Polly is considered one of the "primary sub-projects of LLVM."

There are many EU countries with enough corruption that a deep pocketed incumbent could "suggest" that a DPA bring suit.
In the emails, he writes "This will ensure a steady income for the next year to come!"
That's what they said about the EU VAT changes as well. "How are small businesses surprised by this new rule that comes into effect in under a month? We've been discussing it in committees they've never heard of somewhere in another country for years!"

The reality is that almost all businesses are small businesses, and most businesses are microbusinesses. These sorts of organisations don't have full time resources watching out for potential legal hurdles coming down the line in a few years. Many of them don't have full time resources at all.

It's ironic that a law where one of the main effects is to dramatically increase notification requirements has resulted in barely any media coverage and no notification from any official sources to any of my businesses yet. What media coverage there has been mostly seems to have been prompted by people being surprised by the sudden wave of privacy-related emails. So, how is this not going to be a surprise move for millions of small businesses if no-one did anything to tell them about it?
That is going to affect how it's regulated. I'm just pointing out the comparison is not right.

Imagine the following scenario:

One of his discs is corrupted and causes serious issues for the customer. That customer is so put off from the experience that they vow to never buy dell again.

For dell to take that risk is fair. For this individual to take that risk for dell is not fair.

Dell also likely does more QA on what they ship than the one individual.

Also, people trust in the brand name in part because of what the brand name has at stake to lose.

Lying to the technically unsophosticated as you put it should be no small offense.
Just a quick reminder what median means in this case:

You have a finite set of wages/pay - and $197,000 should be in the middle of this set. Meaning that half the wages at Alphabet are below, the other half above this wage.

It is a rather robust measure, because it is insensitive to extreme values (like the arithmetic average would be), while also giving you a good overview, e.g. that 50% of all the wages are above $197,000.

Vice versa, it tells you nothing about how low or how high the wages are aside the median (e.g. the lower 45% of the wages could be <$45,000). So take it with a grain of salt.
> I've heard people say that the fractional reserve system causes the boom and bust cycle

That is only with Austrian Economics and even there its not the majority position. Its actually only the position of a subgroup called 'Rothbardians'.

In a real market for banks the reserve ratio was determined by relative demand to hold money. Meaning if demand to hold money was high (low monetary velocity) banks could reduce their reserves. The elegance is that the profit motive makes banks automatically conduct policy like that and it leads to overall stability (at least most of the time).

The western world has spent a lot of time destroying these mechanism and replacing them with layers of regulation that are impossible to understand and get influenced by what the banks want.

There are plenty of reasons why this money might be spend without clear evidence of a ROI:

- marketing departments are under pressure to increase sales in a world where the traditional outlets (TV, newspapers, ...) loose relevance

- internet ad campaigns look convincing with all sorts of nice numbers, but unfortunately many of those numbers simply don’t mean what one might think they mean (fake clicks, accidental clicks, ...)

- the corporate world is slow. Which head of department would voluntarily suggest to reduce their budget? The higher ups are too far away to really challenge this stuff

The surface area of Lake Michigan is 22394 square miles according to Google, which converts to 8.99e13 square inches. If you're only looking for one inch of depth, that is 8.99e13 cubic inches. Each cubic inch is 0.00433 gallons, so the first inch of Lake Michigan is 389,267,000,000 gallons. Divide by the loss per day, in this case assuming they're consuming the entire 7 million gallons, and it will take 55609.6 days, or 152 years and change for Lake Michigan to lose 1 inch excluding other sources of loss or addition and so on.

Of course software has consequences. Not the same as infrastructure of countries though.

Companies are valued at billions not because of life and death risks but usually because it enables other companies to make money. On the other hand, basically everything done in civil engineering could be seen as having real danger implications. Bridges and tunnels of course, but even roads which can wash out and cause harm.
Normally I would agree with you. But these days when anyone can find support for, as well as buy, almost anything on the Internet our freedom to be imprecise and still responsible has unfortunately diminished significantly.

Thinking a little more outside the box, you might look into using germanium instead of silicon. I don't know much about the germanium system, except that it supposedly grows less oxide. You're still going to have to deposit and remove oxide somehow, though, which means CVD reactors and silane. It's not going to be easy to get away from explosive toxic gases and dirty processes.

AI has been realized. We have tons of AI in every facet of industry from the car to the food to gaming industry. AI is everywhere.

> Real AI will allow machines to spawn original decisions to solve new problems spontaneously.

AI already does it to some degree. Deepmind's AI has made original decisions and solved new problems in chess and go. Deepmind's AI isn't domain specific.

What you are talking about is generalized "conscious" AI. That is like fusion energy. A truly revolutionary step that we don't know if we'll ever achieve.

The current dangers of AI isn't the generalized AI since generalized AI would ostensibly be "godlike" to us. What is worrisome is the pace of advancement of regular "non-conscious" AI.
Maintaining control over withdrawal is important. I'm not sure the people complaining care about characterizing the actual impact though, there's a branch of conservation that reflexively opposes almost everything.

One of the Slashdot comments points out that billions of gallons can evaporate from the lake naturally in a day. Moving some of that to land near the lake seems like a low risk to me.
How to Stream Crackle Channel on Roku
I don't think that's right, at least for algolia (maybe others are implemented badly):

- The latency for this query will never be 4 seconds (it's a tiny request/response, TLS connection is open already etc.)

- There's throttling applied so if you're typing it won't send the request until you've finished typing

- You don't have to wait for the previous response to come back to type another letter

Finally, the real time searching means you'll probably find what you're after faster as you don't have to complete the full word for it to appear.

I had the impression that this is rather clearly regulated by the
GDPR. A user has to consent to each use of her data. And you have to
explain the use in an understandable way, no legalese. Just make a
list where you explain in simple words how you want to use the data
and add a checkbox to each item (default not checked). I don’t see
how this could hurt any ethical business model.
Its the sort of argument that people make when they don't have a clue. This idea that banking and trading demand against banks is the problem is just fundamentally misguided.

There are many things we could improve in banking regulation and the way the central bank operates. This however, is just a uninformed populist campaign.

Most of the claims on their website are total nonsense based on all known economics.

The idea that AI will affect employment is very dubious to me:

- This stuff was talked about all the time during the industrial revolution. But it turns out that automation just increased worked productivity and made people more valuable.

- Since ATMs were introduced, the number of bank tellers in the US actually went up.

- Certain industries have actually become deautomated over time. As an example: coffee. It used to be exclusively made by automated machines. Now hand-making coffees is one of the largest businesses in America.

- AI is only as smart as the data you feed it. Even Google's own search rankings have to have human minders because people are too good at gaming their algorithms.

- AI is only good at the thing that human beings are very bad at - making quick, analytics based decisions. Of course this is a threat to middle management and executive functions. But for people who actually make things or solve problems, there's just one more thing to make and solve problems about.

There are some very real concerns about organizations using AI to make decisions about people without human oversight. Imagine an AI tasked with college admissions, bad decisions without possibility of human intervention could hurt people - are we sure it would be that much worse than our current system, often tainted by bias, money, and racism?

My concern is that the leaders in the corporate tech world created huge organizations by automating our lives, and now they want to act as gatekeepers on the kinds of automation that is acceptable.

Edit:

To add to this - a companies stance on AI will probably follow their belief in whether humans are underrated or overrated. Google designs products believing humans are overrated - they think people will be victims of AI. Amazon thinks people are underrated (based on Amazon Turk, customer service, warehouse design) - ironically, they won't think humans will overall be harmed by AI.
Absolutely, for its intended use case (hookups), it's absolutely a far more efficient and utilitarian interface.

But for dating, I think it's pretty lousy. But as you said, most people (over the age of 30 I suspect) seem to use it for dating, not casual sex. And they're right to use it for that, because even though it's lousy IMO, it's where everyone is, and despite the rest of the UI being lousy for selecting quality matches IMO, the killer feature is the fact that both parties have to "like" each other. Why other dating sites like OKcupid don't adopt this, I have no idea, except maybe it's not good for their business model in their view. For women I've talked to, sites like OKC are just awful because they get so many unsolicited messages; this isn't much of a problem on Tinder and Bumble since they're in control.

You're completely ignoring the point of GDPR. The point is that users should be in control of their data, and when they give it to someone they have the right to know what it is used for and to be able to retract consent for its usage.

That might be the theory, but there may be unintended consequences in practice.

As others have said, introducing regulation always has a cost. In this case, the cost appears to be that a small side business that has been providing a useful service to the local community for several years will no longer be available.

It doesn't matter whether the business was actually violating the GDPR. It doesn't matter if the person running it misunderstood the new regulations and formed an exaggerated view about the potential risks. The end result is still that his service isn't there any more.
