It may be that FB's lawyers come at it with a more American view whereby it's legal if it complies with the letter of the law. I suspect the Euro legal system tends to build a fence around the Torah, so to speak.
What you have said is what any intelligent, fair-minded person, male or female, would say who was not cowed by the irrational ideas of the extreme left. I mourn for my country -- a country in which statements like yours are no longer too obvious to bother expressing.
what? seriously? Do EU citizens have some kind of legal right to Facebook access, now? It's illegal for Facebook to not serve people they can't sell to advertisers?

I'd love it if Facebook were nationalized (or destroyed), but none of the coverage of the GDPR made it sound like it was going in that direction. I thought it was just another stupid "click here to acknowledge our cookies" rule that was going to spam up the internet.
I would agree that for the general public there appears to be little upside (currently). For the fantastically wealthy that want to move large amounts of capital outside the purview of the tax man or regulators, it has tremendous upside. The same holds for illicit markets. Because those markets do not exist in isolation, the demand effect will spill over into the broader market (because arbitrage).

I'm not a fan of BTC or cryptocurrency, but I think there is definitely a case that nefarious use could bootstrap it into a real asset.

I used to laugh at my father-in-law whom I once considered to be a conspiracy theory whackjob with his off-the-grid lifestyle. As more and more of his "crazy" insights turn into New York Times headlines, I'm starting to think he was ahead of the curve.
Yes. I Google the product I want and I almost always find it listed at a cheaper price on Google Shopping or in the first few links in the search pane. For electronic accessories, I skip the Amazon reseller middlemen, and just use Aliexpress directly.

Anne V. Coates, Oscar-Winning Film Editor on 'Lawrence of Arabia,' Dies at 92
A lot of Indian language translations are a bit off. I wonder how many others that I don't know myself are too?
You have your notions, I have mine

Economics are not physics. They rely only assumptions that only make sense in our culture

Capitalism is like metric or imperial measuring systems; human invention to service human motivation

Like metric and imperials there’s nothing in physics that prevents us from being more socialist

It’s a matter of public will, as has been shown in the past with revolution and fall of empires.

I’d rather we focus on enabling those that want to meet the demand on display in the contexts I’ve mentioned

If people with all the dollars won’t enable that, to hell with their claims of being rich. They can hang onto all them dollars while we instead focus on getting those demands met
I got to a point where the entire screen is occupied by one of the black terminal blocks quotes and got stuck. Can't scroll any further. Grabbing in these areas just makes the screen bounce instead of scrolling.

Checked on a computer and confirmed that yes, there is more content past where the phone version became unscrollable. Hands down the worst scrolling override I've ever encountered.

EDIT: You can grab it on the edges if you get stuck here (or you can go read some other website where scrolling works properly)

I'm following it in my master's course on big data & it has some nice uses in sampling:)
Then you’d be permitted to do so. Facebook Messenger’s chat with your friends service does not depend on tracking, for example, so this argument doesn’t apply to Facebook.
One of my favourite things to do is say "I'm sorry, I don't speak any French" in perfect French (According to an actual French person).

I usually don't post reviews, good or bad, on Glassdoor, because I can just imagine the fallout of a data breech/hack which would end up doxing a ton of old disgruntled employees.
This was covered pretty extensively by Crain's Chicago Business. Some companies are so obsessed with this sort of thing that they'll pay half a million dollars to move a receive site across the street. They measure results in picoseconds. Too much pressure for me.
Solving OpenAPI and JSON Schema Divergence
Shawn,
Is your Lumen system compatible with COMMON-LISP (Lisp-2), or Scheme (Lisp-1) ?
If Lumen is a Lisp-1 then it does not allow the same name to be used for a function and a variable simultaneously. If Lumen is a Lisp-2 then functions and variables are in separate namespaces.

Perhaps someone knows if there a library of code that you can load to make all the common-lisp functions available to you? Would that make your system a common lisp?

Is there an equivalent library you can load to make Lumen a Scheme at some compatibility level?

Thanks for your info and sharing your work.

There's alot of context missing, mostly because you'd need a book to provide context! It isn't the union workers per se, but the transit union is a massively politically powerful organization that gets what it wants, and the calculus there doesn't necessarily make sense.

NY politics in general and NYC politics (plus the confluence of labor) in particular is an arcane and dark art. There's always a vicious cycle where the various interests are very difficult to manage. Administering something as impactful, complex and expensive as MTA with the number stakeholders is a Sisyphean task.
Imagine the lawsuits if the train wasn't 100% stopped when the doors were opened.
Microsoft and others enterprise selling vendors loved the end goal back in early 2000s - the universal API solved by middleware. That's why you had Biztalk and Biztalk consultants that made more than SAP consultants (think todays crazy Salesfarce consultants that compete for gamification badges). For example you could be a small insurance company submitting to a larger underwriter, and when you work out the transactions per month you have to take $5 off each app just to pay for biztalk infrastructure and licensing. People rode that gravy train hard. I'd be surprise if any of the biztalk shit still remained though, grand goals means juice enterprise sales. Oracle had a similarly crap product that was equally slow, painful and verbose, can't recall the name. XML and it's lofty goals beyond what it was can be compared to today's ICO toxic industry, no reflection on XML itself though.

Performance issues can be overcome with Cython or Pypy.

"Python is slow."

What do you mean by "slow" and what have you done to make Python code run faster? I find for most things Python is fast enough or performance can be improved to meet most compute and data demands.

In the future we will all be using Javascript. Language performance debates are moot.
Taskwarrior has the concept of a user defined attribute (UDA) which you can setup all kinds of fanciness for projects / filtering with. I use one called "prio" aka priority and generally set it to H|M|L. These allow you to customize taskwarrior to an insane degree. In fact, they actually rejected a contribution from me to add priority support natively when it could be done with a UDA:

Really powerful software.
> Turns out, they weren't able to find any patients who themselves had to pay anything close to $750/pill for the drug. It's not prescribed that commonly in the US, and the only patients who needed it were all on insurance plans that covered it, subject to standard copays and deductibles.

it's not uncommon for a doctor to ask, "are you on insurance? otherwise this drug would be too expensive for you". there is no statistic on how often this happens.
It helps some folks stay organized and manage their time effectively.
> It costs pennies to make and generates little profit. Only a few thousand patients need it each year.

And it is covered by insurance. This is exactly how one leverages inefficiencies of the insurance market place - insurance companies cover it and they are charged that rate.
Yes. I had a location tracking feature that would total your mileage automatically and submit it after your ride to your bookkeeper (this is mandatory for lease cars in some countries). I really had to explain that the app also might be backgrounded because people probably would be using Apple Maps to navigate while this thing was clocking away in the background
Also in Russian it is commonly called "судно на воздушной подушке" which literally translates to "vessel on air cushion".
I'd love to hear some numbers about how many people have bought it so far. 5 dollars for something that is available in high-quality and for free is hard to beat.
The Finnish translation, while very much correct, feels bit archaic; I think at least in casual contexts most people would use the form "Minun ilmatyynyalus on täynnä ankeriaita"

The Northern Sámi translation feels wrong, although its grammar never was my strong points I think more correct form would be "Mu áibmofanas lea dievva ággarasaid"; I think the English translation of "Mu áibmofatnasis lea dievva ággarasaid" would roughly be "My hovercraft has full (of) eels"
I think there are many problems running Linux like everything you said and things like HiDPi but I just don't think I could dev on windows.
Not always. When the workflow tool is a central scheduling point for thousands of tasks fired off to other compute nodes (via some distribution mechanism), you can start to experience pain.

There is also a problem with python that it does not do thread-based concurrency, but only process-based ditto, where the processes need to communicate in a less robust way with each other, e.g. via HTTP.

Because of this, in our work (scheduling machine learning workflows on HPC clusters), we started see lost HTTP-connections between workers with Luigi when going over 64 workers, even though these workers were doing nothing else than keeping track of a job running on another compute node.

This lead us to use Go instead, with SciPipe, and it has none of these problems. Go being compiled also means we're catching a lot more stupid typos and such at compile time rather than at run time (like 7 days into a 7 day HPC job), which also makes our life easier.

Python is definitely quite a lot easier to write and read, but the robustness of compiled Go code is hard to beat, and I don't wish to go back to a python-based tool.
Taskwarrior is very nice, but I found org-mode combined with the mobile client orgzly even nicer. Export to ical, sync to server and you have it in your watch or mobile calendar as well.
This is only true for mining-heave cryptos and is already massively improved in newer projects, but yes, atm it's bad
What do you mean by "does not depend on tracking"? Do you mean that you can conceive of a way to implement the service as it appears to the user, without tracking? Because Facebook can certainly inject tracking into their chat app. Given Facebook, I assume it's already the case that if I type "let's get married" and then erase those words and never send them, that Facebook's going to start showing me advertisements for how to pop the question.
Consent isn't required for data collection that is necessary for the service to work. However, you have to be prepared to defend in court that it IS necessary.

As such, trackers in 3rd-party advertising network code probably won't count as necessary; it's necessary for the ad network, but it is not necessary for the website displaying the advertisements, as proven by ad-blockers.

Likewise, the facebook like button and other "plugin" components aren't "necessary", they merely add value to the existing content / features, and must therefor be entirely opt-in.

At least, that's my understanding, which is entirely too facile to be taken as legal advice.

EDIT: As petercooper pointed out below, in addition to proving necessity, you must still also prove in court that you have balanced the necessity against users' rights and interests. As such, I no longer feel confident to say I even have a clue as to what is legal and what is not, for FB or for anyone else, until there's a big enough court case to set precedent.
Just after that Terms screen I got three real consent screens (including one about ads tracking and one about face recognition). I think this screen is only about the TOS update.
What I Think About Lisp
The issue is systemic. Yeah, this drug only has a few people, another drug only has a few other people, etc. But looking at it from a per drug perspective is not seeing the forest through the trees.

Seriously, average premiums increased in my state 26.7% last year. It's because of systemic issues that this a perfect example of a facet of.

It seems stupid to use these unreliable "signals" at all, but even if they have to use them for "safety" they don't have to use them for operator evaluation. It would be real easy for every operator to carry a device that could prove e.g. she drove an appropriate speed even though her train tripped a poorly-maintained signal. I'm not foolish enough to imagine this would lead to the signals getting fixed, and from a political perspective it might be important to stipulate that it wouldn't, but that seems secondary to the horrible schedule problems that tentative driving has caused.
I think you are right. Sorry, my bad!
I remember the TPU paper Google had released last year (2017) circa March/ April, on performance evaluation of TPU's.

Define "doesn't depend on" because I could easily make the argument that Messenger's chat does require tracking location for example to increase security and to fight spam. By not opting in to tracking of location, you degrading the quality of the service and affecting other people.

i.e. Without this tracking, the quality of Messenger is affected, and therefore, by definition, the service cannot be provided without it.
There is no legal right to Facebook, but if Facebook wants to do business here, it has to abide by our rules. And our rules are very simple, you cannot deny service because the user doesn't allow tracking if tracking is not necessary for your service to work. And it isn't in this case, it's only necessary to deliver higher paying ads.

Since they are being selective on the users they accept based on being tracked, they are now on track for another EU fine.
You dont need to use on-chain for bitcoin transactions.
I don't see any disrespect in lying about who you are in anonymous interactions. I'm under no obligation to be truthful. It doesn't matter to the restaurant if I book my reservation under a fake name. It doesn't matter if my assistant books it for me and they act like they're me.

Software should be held to the same standard.
At this price point can't a company from India knock out a few million pills for cents a unit and undercut the market?
The only argument I can see a company going towards is opportunity cost, where they could be using facilities to create more profit, however that simply continues to highlight a problem with how we allow things to be structured, a failure of or complete lack of necessary safeguards.
You don't have enough information to determine if it's a net negative to society. You don't even have enough information to determine it's a net negative for the unfortunate baby with toxoplasmosis, since at $13 there might not be any supply. Since it's out of patent, you're free to start manufacturing and selling it at $13 if you want.
You can't have a copyright for text that someone else wrote unless they sell it to you.
At the most basic, it makes sure you don't forget things you have to do. There are secondary benefits like prioritizing and identifying blockers which help you work more efficiently.

I'd also make the comment that the parent was suggesting a world-wide scenario. If such a scenario were localized, Bitcoin would make a lot of sense, assuming migration were a possibility (that is not always the case, as in the Bosnian War). An example of this would be the current situation in Venezuela.
And he went on record saying that if anyone couldn't afford the drug and asked him for it, he would give it to them for free.

The answer to questions like these is almost always "power density and safety".
Delays have pushed more people onto the roads (bikes, taxis, etc.), where there is a much higher chance of injury or fatality. So their decision has probably killed more people than if they had changed nothing.
When you write "more profit" I read "helps even more people."
This is pretty appealing. A quick and easy CYA to keep you out of trouble while you work on compliance (or not).
> it only does that if you let it

I disagree with you, especially with our field: you take work home. Even if you don't want, you can't disconnect and stop thinking about work as soon as your working hours are done. The only time where I can really disconnect is when I'm on holidays, and this usually happens after a week of holidays.
Is there anyone who used org mode and taskwarrior to get a compare and contrast?
I could run some IPFS nodes giving me 1TB of storage for $10/month per node. There's no scale here and you could easily DIY more storage for far less cost. Look at online.net or scaleway or ovh if you want to roll your own easily.
Yes, I've always seen microservices as an organizational win over any type of technical win.

Basically having separate teams work on one code base with one deployment cycle can sometimes be really tough. And sometimes you can get a big win by splitting up this service so multiple teams can each have their own service to focus on.

This whole team of one developer supporting 8 microservices seems ludicrious to me.
Crypto certainly has, if not more, at least the same utility than jewelry. Trust less, distributed ledgers--these aren't tulips.
Show HN: Konflist App – Curated list of tech conferences all around the world
I’ve given up waiting for nodejs to become a reliable environment. Just recently the `is-even` package came to light and highlighted that things aren’t getting any better than when leftpad was a thing.

I can’t wait to see tc39’s response to the `is-even` shit show after they decided to just add leftpad to the stdlib.
I find that the regular `M-x shell` functionality gives you a reasonable approximation of the acme `win` workflow. The 'shell' buffer acts mostly like a regular text buffer, so you can easily move around, edit things, and cut-n-paste.
Pressing <enter> sends the current line of buffer text as command-line input.
I think the real issue here is that zooming does not fix it. I can understand most people don't test every screen size (although we test loads) and would be happy to zoom out for some pages. What I ended up doing was using dev tools to switch to a normal size which was kinda annoying.

One has to wonder if this cutthroat competition will ever turn aggressive. Someone with a SDR and a bit of knowhow could shutdown/jam these systems very easily. The apparatus is in public view and they don't seem to be guarding their trash. A well-timed attack on a couple of these towers would create a few seconds of instability on the markets, enough time for another HFT platform to take advantage.

A blast from a 1-watt transmitter parked across the street would overwhelm any signal coming from across an ocean. Try calling the cops about to complain that your antenna reception is being interfered with. The days of cops hunting rogue radio stations are long gone.

If only that were true.
I do. You can define the 'project', and then use that field in a variety of ways. I use the format 'Customer.Project', as I oftentimes have many projects with each customer. Using this method, I can sort by 'Customer' to get all projects for that customer, or I can get more granular and sort by 'Customer.Project'.

It's extremely versatile, and can be customized to suit your usage. I love it.
It's not amount of data but latency. A signal to buy is just one bit, but you need to get it before everyone else does.
Tackling User Authorization in GraphQL with AWS AppSync
I use the email-to-board feature of Trello and just include the address as a BCC when replying to clients, or just forward it if I'm not replying. Everything goes into the "Incoming" column which I can then prioritize. Works great for me.
It doesn't seem to comply with the letter of the law though, based on the requirement of "freely given, non-conditional consent".
Your analogy is flawed because the larger issue is that poor villagers can only buy US products with US dollars which means they import food from the US which then displaces domestic production. This causes even more poverty because of the high percentage of subsistence farmers in africa.

If you really wanted to help them grow their economy then you would try to offshore production into that country which leads to infrastructure investments and productivity growth.
