On my phone the share menu is very fast, but every time I open it, the icons are all over the place...

I like to watch YouTube on Kodi, there's an Android app which can be used as a remote control, and load URLs into the playlist. In binge mode I see the related videos and think "Oh that also looks interesting", so I "share" a lot of videos within a few seconds. Video 1, hit share, look for the remote control app icon, press it, done. Second video, hit share, hunt for the icon because it has moved... Same thing every time! Luckily my phone is quick enough that the share menu doesn't take forever to load, and I've accepted that the icons move around, only quietly swearing "Stupid programmers" every time, but it's still stupid.

Hi, I am Kourage. I have been a victim of scams looking to eliminate negative reviews and my low credit score. Real and genuine hackers don't go publicizing and soliciting on public forums. They are on the dark web. Majority of the people here are scammers looking to rip you off. I pulled this good group of hackers on the dark web. They are not just trust worthy and fast, they are also reliable. I will give out there contacts for free. Email: HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM Cell: +1 424 307 2638. You are welcome.

I will generally indeed be more inclined to interact with EU sites since I know they are GDPR compliant. I'd honestly be really tempted to VPN to Europe so that US companies think I'm an EU citizen too.

The most interesting thing to me about this whole ordeal is which companies only comply in Europe, where they're legally required, and those who have gone ahead and made sure they are compliant globally: It defines the difference between people ensuring your privacy rights because they have to, where they have to, and those ensuring your privacy rights globally because it's the right thing to do.

Google's AMP project just introduced a whole set of new features not just to mark whether or not an EU user has consented to tracking, but also a new feature to geolocate users, specifically for the purpose of determining if they're legally required to get that consent. Which is sad to me; they should be getting user consent everywhere.
Iirc they acquired that nickname because early rainbow tables, which were in plain text or another simple uncompressed format, looked very much like ASCII rainbow patterns in a text editor due to the iterative nature of the key, salt, and hash stepping.

You're fooling yourself if you think that ad networks wouldn't have been built if Javascript didn't exist. The only difference would be that they'd be embedded into native apps.

You only need to look at the Android app ecosystem to see this. Ironically, because adblockers don't really work well on non-rooted phones, using native apps actually exposes me to a great deal more tracking than most of the websites I visit.

I would absolutely rather use Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit as websites than as native apps. And it's a great deal easier for me to block Google Analytics (just blacklist the domain) than it is for me to stop Google Maps, Uber, or Lyft from spying on me.

> Then please, in practical terms, tell me how I can answer the original question: is this random Javascript safe?

The only way to declare random code safe is to sandbox it. The web is one of the better sandboxes out there (although of course it's not perfect yet).

This is (one of) the reasons why we're starting to move towards Wayland in the Linux world - because we've realized that security by curation doesn't work for 99.9% of the population, and putting a sensible permissions model on top of applications is one of the few ways we can actually protect both advanced and average users.

If you're looking for 100% security, it doesn't exist, even for your self-compiled programs where you rigorously audited the source and all of the dependencies. Unless you've also taken steps to mitigate Trusting Trust?
The advantage of rolling your own is that you get to optimize and control things at a level that is just not possible when working through a complex external component

Then you stick it on a filesystem that does not work the way you think it does or even worse you stick it on a remote filesystem (eg CIFS/SMB) that does not work the way you think it does and is now backed by an FS that also does not work the way you think it does.

Your DB may work fine but make sure you onboard the lessons that all the others have learnt through bitter experience.
I don't think big companies will back out of the EU at all. In fact, they now have a big more of a competitive advantage because they have the money and time needed to get GDPR right over a smaller company. And transparency about how they use data will isolate less users, now that they already built their name. I think it will affect smaller companies more whose new innovative product will be tested on the US market first before demand is recognized and then adapted to the EU. Of course it really depends on the regulatory reach of this law.
The fact that rapid productivity increases due to the computer industry began in the late 1970s is a flashing red light to me.

The late 1970s is when productivity and wages began to diverge. Much ink has been spilled about this, as it corresponded with the emergence of neoliberal economics by Reagan and Thatcher.

Maybe wages and productivity began to diverge not because labor was capturing less value due to political developments, but because we have been overestimating the productivity of industry in aggregate due to the rapid productivity growth in one sector, computers, skewing the aggregate.

It seems like a statistical misattribution of this scale could be applied to many other phenomena.
Thank God for Brexit heh
The promise for XPoint was DRAM-like latency with NAND-like throughput (and...nonvolatility of course). I’d be curious to see some of these benchmarks against (say) ramfs, or see how well it works as a swap drive.

> Economics has basically gone in a circle the past century

The economics profession has generally become one paid for its conclusions, not for its research. There are very few people working in mainstream, evidence-based economics anymore, and I don't think they're exceptions, they're just working for people whose personal interests happen to coincide with evidence-based theory. If the theory and the backers diverge, the economists will hopefully find new backers, because the backers will definitely find new economists who deliver the answers they want.

> actual science and engineering has made immense progress

I don't believe so. It's pretty much the same as economics. Most studies are wrong, and the review/reward system in science is all screwed up. We've generally been coasting on the invention of the transistor for a long time, and benefiting from their getting smaller and smaller. Once we've hit the hard limit with that, we can ride parallelism to squeeze a large amount of additional performance - hopefully enough to make a few more algorithms that have been around for 70 years have some pragmatic usefulness, but I think we're close to the end of what transistors are going to give us.

The best thing we can do for science is to get rid of the perverse incentives that cause bad science, eradicate accepted bad science, and mine the good science that will come to light after that uncovering. That might get us another good 100 years without a major discovery.

This is a nice misrepresentation. Your Vixie cron example offloads the day of week check to `date`. I'm sure there are examples where mcron syntax is superior to anacron as well.

I didn't know about mcron until this post either, but I find it super frustrating when people dismiss tools, ideas, or people simply because they don't conform to familiar patterns.

Otaku (lit. “home”)

The word comes from otaku spending more time at home on their hobby than hanging out with their friends, which encompasses things that would be called enthusiast or freak in English too.
I have a two year old, so at night, I sleep between 0 and 8 hours. On days where I've slept 0, I usually take an afternoon nap with her so I pick up an extra hour or two of sleep during the day. Since April 5, I have averaged just under five hours of sleep in a 24 hour period.

Last year, I had a bout with extremely high blood pressure that lead to me spending some time in the hospital and getting an angiogram.

I'm pissed because I knew that high blood pressure was a huge problem for me, yet I let myself get out of shape. So, I built an app to record things like sleep, nutrition and exercise and see what gets me closer to my goal. Currently, my goal is low blood pressure but I'm about to switch over to a long distance running goal.

I mention this to tell you how I know my average sleep, but also because thus far, I've found two strong correlations to my blood pressure and athletic performance. Good sleep and lots of water have a dramatic impact upon both of those measures. And, unlike other things, their impact is immediate. Heck, I can exercise for 90 minutes a day for two weeks and barely move the needle. But, if I get nine hours of sleep, my blood pressure will be on the low side of normal!!
>> Thanks for responding! I was hoping someone would finally bring up concrete points after talking to a lawyer, and you have.

Can you please quote the "concrete points" made in the parent post?
Yep. It talks about the noun and verb "concert". It doesn't mention "concerted" though, which is the word I'm interested in. These words are obviously related, but in determining the definition of a word, one typically looks to the explicit definition — not to the definitions of related words.

If "concerted" can also have the meaning that you describe (and that I grew up believing in), then why isn't this meaning/usage included in any definition for "concerted"?
Yes! All the more reason to keep all your short term memory for your work.

For the most part, they’re not part of the same discussion. TypeScript/JavaScript is still a sensible language and execution environment for interaction driven browser concerns.

That said, there are some interesting implied ambitions for Angular. The AngularDart project, the Bezel project, the AngularCompiler more generally as a point of special focus...
Seeing as the EU passes retroactive laws which make things that used to be perfectly legal all of a sudden illegal and subject to huge fines - I would say your viewpoint of one unifying interpretation of GDPR that companies can rely on is extremely naive.
Checklists are useful, but they have their limits.

People too often get used to the routine and will end up skipping bits from checklists, or even outright missing stuff. It's strange, given whole idea of there being something to actually check would hopefully mitigate that.

Generally I do my utmost to avoid having checklists, so that they're left for things where they can't be avoided (e.g. where automation makes no sense, or potentially makes things worse)
I suggest you read the GDPR or even go through the ICO guided tools first.
The anecdotal examples are you bring are irrelevant.

If anything than because you can actually do that under the GDPR: "The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest."

The problem that this has to be evaluated against "the interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overriding, taking into consideration the reasonable expectations of data subjects based on their relationship with the controller."

This is more or less going to be open to the interpretation of the DPA and your local EU memberstate laws, the problem is that non-EU entities don't get a DPA, their legal system isn't part of the decision making and they are now open to 28 different interpretations byu 28 different regulators (DPA in each EUMS) and 28 different legal systems.
> How about Standard Oil artificially lowering regional prices to put all competition out of business,

Lowering prices to increase market share is perfectly fine, especiallly when you have decreasing costs of production.

> only to raise the prices once dominance is attained?

No evidence of any policy of them doing that, or of it happening on any long-term scale.

'X can be bought' can be written about anything. You can be bought. But what does it mean?

We live in a world of uncertainty, but it's not at all true that everything is equally uncertain. An MD is more reliable than a guy in a bar when talking about medicine. An economist is also more reliable, as are certain economists and economic institutions, as are the consensus of economists.

No it really is not. You are defending Qt's decision to keep their own lives simple. That's fine for Qt, but not so for their target Python audience.

Generating similar high quality docs for the Pythonic wrapper should not be a issue.

Isn't the point that you don't have to translate in your head all the time. For non-Pythonic, non pep8 code you are going to do that constantly, not only when you read the Qt docs.

pep8 is a subset of 'Pythonic', the current wrappers are not only not pep8 compliant, they are also un-Pythonic in other ways.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Qt trying to expand their user base, but I would consider this effort a early milestone on the road to something that really fits into the Python ecosystem.
Hillary A) won the popular vote B) won voters who considered economics an important issue C) won voters making less than 50000.

... what do you think your link says?
In this instance yes, it’s core to understanding what really happened in our economy.

The critical point is how they account for better products year over year. A faster chip in 2017 is counted as 2 2016 chips because it’s that much better.

A can of soda in 2017 is equal to a can of soda in 2016.

So when you remove this one weird industry that is experiencing tremendous growth in power, it turns out our manufacturing has been well and truly gutted.

If you look at manufacturing “value” including computers it doesn’t look so bad.

If you look at manufacturing units not including computers...you understand Trump 2016 a little better.

It's rather pointless to benchmark Optane SSDs against DRAM. Later this year we'll have Optane DIMMs that aren't constrained by the PCIe bus and will actually be able to demonstrate the latency capabilities of the underlying 3D XPoint media without all the overhead of NVMe and PCIe.
> Furthermore, if you simplify the case to two prisoners and two boxes, where each is allowed to open one box, the odds of "success" are clearly only 25%.

No it's still 50%, because first person opens box 1 and second person opens box 2. They both either live or die together.

Three people, 2 chances. Each just guessing independently would be 2/3 chance so the chance for all to win is (2/3)^3 or 30%. But if the first person opens box 1 then they will find their name or not (1/3) and if so the second and third opening 2 and 3 are guaranteed to find their name, so 33% total chance.

The basic idea is that you choose boxes in a dependent pattern so that group either all wins or all loses as much as possible. The more people that can win or lose at the same time the better the overall chance for the group.

Ah yes, quite the curated dictionary.
I'm not so sure about that. I'm a big advocate of electoral reform, but in the aftermath of an election where arguably the two most successful candidates were either self-funded or grass roots micro-funded, I'm having a hard time being convinced that campaign finance reform is the number one problem.

The larger problem seems to be that our political institutions are captive to a hyper-polarized two party institution that lacks the degrees of freedom to provide legitimate representation to society's myriad facets and interests. Any dualistic system is naturally going to orient itself in opposition to its other half, to the marginalization of all other considerations. The key to effective electoral reform is finding ways to fundamentally change the processes from which structural bipartisanship emerges from. Practically speaking this means increasing political diversity through non-partisan primaries, ranked choice voting, proportional representation, and purging the entrenchment of the two national parties from election commissions and similar bodies.

Transforming the political court from a 2-sided chess match to a multiplayer game is a necessary condition for realizing the true expressive power of a democratic society over concentrated interests. Such conditions have been the key to the establishment and normalization of wealth equalizing institutions in many of the European democracies, for example.
> Boring!=technical.

Yes. One of the best trainings I've been on was in my first job.

40+ minutes on... how to adjust your chair, by the health and safety manager. From how to position the arms, to spinning the chair over and adjusting the springyness of the tilt, to levelling the height against a screen. Almost 2 decades later, I remember the take-aways clearly.
> People have families and relationships and health issues outside of work that never the less it may be helpful to discuss

This is one of the problems I had with my managers who like to do one-on-ones. They always wanted to talk about things outside of work. Got to the point where I just wanted to say none of your effing business, but I tend to be more polite than that in a professional setting.

For me work is its own thing. I don't go there for friends, relationships, entertainment, mental health or medical advice, and don't expect my employer to provide or want to be involved in those things.
5 A/B Testing Mistakes That You Should Avoid at All Costs
I think the real mistake (which isn't a mistake, but an intentional deception) is that the manufacturing that left the US was in less capital-intensive industries (i.e. where labor costs were higher), and the lowering of the number of labor hours per dollar of earnings was intentionally misinterpreted as an increase in automation as a way to get industry-favored legislation passed.

> a single violation would financially destroy the company

If you refer to the flowchart on how enforcement is to be handled (notably including referring to "proportionate"), the FAQs on regulator sites, and even the track record of penalties under DPA you'll find this is not the case.

Why there are some who keep wanting to catastrophise this is beyond me.

>> There is no iron law of the business world that consumers need to accept every product of any kind on every market.

My understanding is that "consumer choice" is a code for radical deregulation of the markets until all the "choices" that the consumer is left with are each as bad as the other. "Sure, you can go to our competitor, but they hoover up your data just like we do".
