> Europe has tons of integration with the US, too.

But that's easy to see why. Europe and USA's history goes back to the beginning of the USA's existence. Various European countries (France, Britain, Spain) were colonizing huge parts of what eventually became USA territory in the 1800s. And the original 13-states themselves were a set of British colonies.

That, the language-similarities, the religious similarities (historically Christian)... its no surprise that USA / Britain / France get along today. There's so much that's deeply in common that friendship is almost natural.

The Japanese / USA relationship (and Japanese / European relationship) is unique in that there's no colonial, language or religious relationship between the countries. Japan was never a colony of a great European Power, Japan never really converted to Christianity, Japan never adopted the language of Europeans.

So the very fact that a close relationship could be forged at all should be a surprise!
This is a maximum fine. You would not be fined that for a first, unintended offence. You would be warned.
I'll echo this.

I've maintained a production PyQt based app for 7-8 years (started on PyQt4/py2, moved to PyQt5/py3, but I evaluated PySide as well). It involved wrapping another Qt library for use from python. I found the bindings I created based on SIP (which is what PyQt is based on, both written by the same author) to be overall easier to create and smaller in size.

It's great that we're getting Qt backed bindings but Phil Thompson has done a wonderful job with PyQt over the years and I really would've liked to see it become the official library somehow.
You won't notice much difference between a regular SATA SSD and M.2 PCIe in normal things, like opening apps, playing games, booting etc. Only if you do 4K RAW video processing, copying files all the time and similar. This new SSD should give you the first noticeable boost in normal apps comparing to the rest of SSDs. Pity Intel couldn't deliver its original promises of 100x lower latency, that would have been even more impressive.
Then why do you need millions of dollars to make it reasonable and transparent?

Reasonable and transparent would be fine. That may be the spirit of GDPR, and I'm sure it's been sold to the EU public like this. But the wording is anything but reasonable. You are talking about things you obviously haven't personally evaluated.
That is definitely a common thing in the gamedev world.
Maybe mentions of all the crucial peripherals would have been relevant. The enormous storage capacity, the networks, high resolution displays and sophisticated interfaces.

It's the maximum fine to show that EU means business. That's also why they can go up to 4% of a company's global revenue: to show Google and Facebook that they can't bankroll through violations.
It's not always so voluntary, unfortunately.

> The only services that can even afford to attempt to comply and have the necessary liability insurance

Liability for what? You're not going to get sued. At worst you're going to get fined for negligence, probably after after repeated warnings. I don't think you can find insurance against willful repeated misconduct.

It's only if your service can't possibly comply without losing your bottom line that you have to worry, in which case the GDPR is working as intended.

Find a better business model for EU costumers, or cease your presence there. It's a win-win for EU consumers either way.
You don’t explicitly state what you DO do with your users’ data, and that makes me skeptical that your use case is non-controversial.

Same with the cookiewall, by the way: if you need a cookie wall, that means you do more than aggregated statistics such as building profiles of individuals. Even if you have accounts, you don't need a cookie wall for a login system. Only if you do tracking. People see it as "govt doesn't understand tech again" but I think in reality, it's the people that completely missed the point here.
A lot you mentioned should have been known when you bought the home (when you had it inspected).

Therefore, a lot of the improvements you made should have added value to the home. I'd consider improvements different then simple maintenance/random failures (your cement issue). The siding, roof, and driveway should have all been things you took into account when buying the house, so any improvements made there should have an immediate affect on the value of your house.

>Oh and when you bought this home, did you already happen to have a lawn mower, edger, fertilizer spreader, and such?

If you buy a house and legitimately have to worry about the $200 you'll spend on a lawn mower, then maybe buying isn't for you.
Most people probably didn't see benchmarks how abysmal the real-world performance gains were between SSDs running SATA-1, SATA-2, SATA-3 and M.2 PCIe. They don't understand that throughput is not the main factor what made SSDs being so snappy, but the latency comparing to HDDs.
For some people, myself included, on a long enough time scale you end up working on every piece of software on their system. In this case the simplicity is valued.

Wow - that was a great read. I like how it started by saying,

> Looking back, there were two kinds of people who lived in America in 2016: people who believed Donald Trump, and people who believed data.

...only to show that, against the odds, people who believed "data" ended up being incorrect about some of the most crucial conclusions drawn by the use of that data.

However, I have this itching feeling that I always have whenever I read an analysis on this topic, and it's this:

Americans don't want those jobs back. We really don't.

I think Dave Chappelle said it very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inlDT62oGy8

And that leads to an even bigger realization: people (and the body politic) don't want jobs at all. Jobs aren't useful. People generally only want the resources and independence that come with a job.

We've been sold the idea that the connection between "a job" (ie, something that someone does for hours a day, 5 days a week, in the tack of a career) and resource (like food and shelter, ie, the Money) is a natural, wholesome consequence of a free market.

But then, why don't animals have jobs? Why don't very wealthy people have jobs? Why don't very poor people have jobs? Why don't indigenous people have jobs? Why don't well-adjusted hippies (think Rainbow Gathering) have jobs?

I think that we can find a truly free market, with the price signals and freedom from state intervention that free market fans always cheer, but whose central models are the Job and the Money. If the internet means anything truly useful to our species, I think it's best viewed as our chance to finally shed the Job and the Money.
I also wonder if the weather has anything to do with the mentality.

Winters in the East Coast are harsh so it forces people to be more 'realistic'. Whereas the sub tropical West Coast gives people an environment to think in more imaginitive ways.

> I'm surprised that intel requires specific CPU support for their optane solutions.

The only Optane-related thing that requires a particular CPU platform is their Optane Memory caching software for Windows. That's the very bottom of the Optane product stack, while the 905P is the top.

Intel's Optane Memory caching for Windows is built on top of their consumer platform's NVMe software RAID functionality. Intel's consumer chipsets have a mode where they hide any NVMe devices connected through the chipset, making them no longer appear in regular PCIe device enumeration. Instead, the drives can be accessed through non-standard interfaces on the chipset's SATA controller. This remapping ensures that only Intel's software RAID drivers can bind to the drives, which makes things a bit simpler for Intel.

This NVMe remapping feature was first added to Intel's Skylake generation chipsets, and Optane Memory was introduced with the next generation (Kaby Lake). Skylake systems didn't get the firmware updates necessary to add Optane Memory caching support (for booting off a cached volume) even though they had all the hardware capabilities and their firmware already had NVMe RAID boot support.

All Optane products released so far are standard NVMe SSDs and can be treated as such. If you want to use SSD caching software or software RAID from somebody other than Intel, it won't care whether or not your drive is an Optane product.

What specifically is not reasonable? GDPR is by european law texts one of the most readable ones.
I just don't have a great deal of confidence in my own ability to tell the difference between an arbiter who is making good judgments about which medicines are real and someone who is censoring a competitor by adjudicating their medicine as "fake."

It depends on what you measure. Crashes are going up ever so slightly vs population growth, but fatalities per crash has astoundingly been reduced by about 70%, which is to say that you were more than 3x as likely to die in crash in 1980 vs 2011.
4% would obviously be a hit to Google or Facebook, but it wouldn't put them out of business. €20 million would certainly put the company I work for out of business. Of course, it's quite unlikely to be fined that, but I wouldn't be surprised to see more and more companies folding purely because of the threat.
If it were "brain dead obvious" we wouldn't need to argue about it.

It's not actually obvious whether personal observations are representative of what's going on in other parts of the country that you've never visited. Even if you're well-travelled, you can't see everything. Reporters can't see everything either, and newspapers give us a very biased view of the world.

That's why we rely on statistics, and they're notoriously difficult to get right.

In the end, I'm like: "Studies? You can prove anything with studies." Each study is part of a conversation among economists, and I doubt this will be the last word.
I mean, the US has a lot of bases around the world. We've got bases in Cuba for example, and that doesn't really foster a good relationship with that country.

Heck, there's an Asian country right next to Japan called "The Philippines" which was a US colony for 40+ years.

You will not be fined 20 million for that. This argument is beyond absurd.
But it seems like in Mcron, you can schedule a job along the lines of "Run on May 27th, November 23rd and December 29th, but only in non-leap years and if the days in question fall on a Wednesday or Saturday". With cron, you would have to run the program ever day and the job itself is responsible for checking if it needs to do its action.

Is that a silly example? Yes. Is it realistic? Perhaps. As the company I work for transitions to an "Enterprise Class" company, I'm seeing a lot of silliness in processes.
This is repeated ad nauseam: what you quote is the maximum for the worst offenders. The GDPR explicitly says the penalties must be adequate.

Depends on your metric of success, I suppose.

Wendover Productions made an interesting video on the economics of Trains in the States:

Based on what you describe, it seems to me that a macroscopic example of "symmetry breaking" in the time domain would be the piston of any internal combustion engine. The linear back-and-forth motion of the piston is converted to rotational motion, but in theory the rotation could equally well be in either direction. So when the piston starts moving and picks one or the other direction for the rotation, symmetry is broken. (Obviously real ICE pistons have some way to ensure that the rotation always happens in the same direction.) Have I got that right?

Wouldn't acknowledging that you're suffering from depression and researching a list of things to help be the opposite of denial? I don't doubt there are depressed people who are in denial, but if you acknowledge your own depression and still avoid doctors and therapy, perhaps it is more likely due to some combination of things like shame, fatigue, apathy or hopelessness which often come with the depression itself? The mindfulness based cognitive therapy from my post and the CBT option recommended on another post here are both things you do with a therapist, by the way. Also I don't see how meditation, self care and better routine could be bad for someone suffering from depression, even if it doesn't lift them out of it, so I would still say this is solid advice.

Edit: I would also like to clarify that if you feel depressed you should absolutely go to a doctor and try out therapy. If you don't want to do this, you need to ask yourself why you wouldn't want to go to see the people who are most qualified to help you. Is it simply because you actually don't believe a doctor or therapist can help you or is it because you feel your case is hopeless? In either case, I would say then that you have nothing to lose and you might as well go try it out anyway, just in case you are wrong. If you're right, you can have the satisfaction of feeling vindicated. If you're wrong, you'll feel better. It's a win-win.

If the reason you don't want professional help is that you are ashamed someone may find out, then you need to start looking at the problem a bit more objectively. You simply have a problem that needs fixing, why not get the best people to help you fix it? And another point, if someone else judges you for wanting to feel better and have more to offer for everyone else around you, should you really give their judgement much weight? If neither of these help, maybe for right now you can just ask yourself if the shame you're predicting you'll feel in the short run is a cheap enough price to pay to feel better in the long run. I bet it is.

Lastly, if you're feeling like getting professional help is just too much effort, it can help to break things up in to steps. Grab a piece of paper and a pen and write down a plan to get help. Maybe step one of the plan is you just jump on Google and find a doctor or therapist near you. Step 2 can be to call and book an appointment, step 3 can be to write down exactly what you want to discuss in your visit, step 4 can be planning how to get to the appointment (maybe plan to ask someone close for a ride or take a taxi if driving or walking there is too much), and so on. Each time you complete a step, just cross it out. With each step completed, you're on your way to feeling better and you can feel a sense of accomplishment.

If it's an inaccurate simplification, that's fair, but I thought it was valid for the domain the author was addressing.

I'm not going to get into a long discussion about the fine points of the GDPR. I've engaged in several, and they go on for countless comments with self proclaimed HN GDPR experts saying how each thing is easily overcome, followed by a deluge of downvotes for every comment saying that they are (legitimately) wrong. But here's just one place to get you started:

Both Detroit and Buffalo both have large public research universities along with many smaller public and private institutions.

Detroit has the University of Michigan with 44,700 students nearby (about the same distance as my unfortunately long commute). Buffalo has the University of Buffalo with 30,600 students. Both universities are among the largest employers in their metro areas.

Both metros have tried to diversify their economies, as have Pittsburgh and Cleveland. The health care industry is a large source of jobs for all of them.

You are not the only source of information about you. Information that you have wittingly or unwittingly given out is freely bought and sold. Your friends and family are constantly feeding information about you to Facebook. Your colleagues are feeding information about you to LinkedIn. Outside of the EU, there's nothing you can do about this stealthy collection and aggregation of personal information. There's a ratcheting loss of privacy, because once your information has been given away, it can't be taken back.

Under the GDPR, a business needs my explicit consent to share my data with third parties. They can't bury it in the T&Cs or refuse to do business with me if I decline to tick the "do what you want with my data" box.

That consent is granular and revocable. I can ask any business to delete every piece of information they hold about me, a broad category of data or a specific piece of information. Unless they're obliged by some other legislation to keep that data, then they're obliged to delete it.

The GDPR isn't about protecting individuals from their own stupid choices, it's about protecting them from predatory business practices. We've become resigned to the fact that many businesses operate like a surveillance state, but that doesn't make it right or proper. We shouldn't have to live like the Amish just to keep control of our personal information.

I don't mean to sound like a dick, but it's very easy for a multimillionaire speaking to a upper middle class audience or for an upper middle class software developer on hackernews to agree with this sentiment. I think if you asked 100 unemployed Americans living in poverty, you might hear a different answer.

> but I believe a system with just 8GB ram + Optane will run better than a system with 16GB ram and Samsung 970 pro for workloads using up to 16GB of ram.

No, not even close. PCIe is still way slower than DDR4. Once your working set grows beyond available RAM, the Optane SSD will be a better swap device than any flash-based SSD, but you still notice your system slowing down drastically from all the swap activity.

Intel's Memory Drive Technology is really intended for situations where you have multiple Optane SSDs, and a workload that wants a large amount of total RAM but seldom has a true working set larger than actual DRAM capacity.

I am sure the people at CERN have reasons in choosing machine learning for that purpose, but I don't see it ideal for this case.
Machine learning might be able to give you your results faster, but generally with a lot lower accuracy. But suppose the teams got to a really good accuracy in their programs, it's still for the known and expected. In particle physics research — or any research for that matter — you cannot simply give it a shot, because your system might miss very interesting collisions while you think it's working perfectly fine.
I think quantum computing can be really quite useful here given that the analysis can benefit from parallel processing.
