I would give a very strong health warning about taking those numbers seriously. What that 2nd reference doesn't make clear is that it is NOT a standard Matrix Multiply Operation, it's an 11 row by 16 column Matrix Multiplication.

This is important because unlike in software where performance scales well. For FPGA you would have to decompose every matrix multiplication into 11x16 style matrix multiplies. They don't mention this overhead in their specs.
>Also isn’t the plural Octopi not as it is in the title?

Octopuses is the standard English pluralization, while Octopi and Octopodes are acceptable variants.
> you shouldn't share that stuff with investors without having a conversation

> I rarely open docsend docs and never on cold pitches

Therein lies the conundrum: we are both right and wrong, depending on the context.

Scenario A: you just completed a hackathon and have no connections or existing investors to help you reach other investors => in this case you should reduce the barrier of distribution in any way possible.

Scenario B: you are running a seed funded startup and have enough traction to raise the A round => you will be getting warm introductions, and investors will be opening your links.

Most founders fall somewhere in between those two scenarios, starting at the Scenario A at the beginning of their careers, and slowly making their way towards the Scenario B. The nice thing about using DocSend is that it will tell you exactly if you're ready for it => just look at the open rate of your links.

> I do like having the deck in my inbox so that when the pitch changes I can see what they once did. Lots of founders will do multiple companies and abandon failures early, and I want to be able to see what they pitched me on six months ago.

This is what I meant with one-sided. Nobody disputes the value of that information to the investor. From the founder's perspective, however, you get this set of options:

1. the slide deck you were pitching 1/2/3 years ago materialized exactly how you predicted => congratulations, you're in Scenario B, and investors will be reading your deck no matter how you present it to them.

2. your old slide deck was overly optimistic, and you either underperformed, pivoted, or abandoned your startup altogether. Do you really want everyone out there to have this dirt on you?
I'm not sure about that paper. It's based on someone's research who works at the census bureau and a university professor. They're interest is also in making their employer look good.

Also the paper ends in "we also may be mis-measuring dynamism."

If you don't want to follow the law you're welcome not to and will have to deal with the courts when they come knocking. This has always been true for all laws, not just GDPR. Try violating fiscal laws in the US just because "you don't want to deal with any of that" and let us know how well that works out for you.

There is nothing - and I do mean nothing - written into the GDPR that requires any warnings of any kind, or places any limits on fines, except for $10/$20 million or 4% of revenue, whichever is greater. Period. A multimillion-dollar fine without warning for a first, minor violation is perfectly lawful under GDPR. The idea that "yes it says that but we can trust EU regulators to not assess large fines against foreign companies, even though they would benefit handsomely from them" rings hollow to me.
I applaud the GDPR for automatically unsubscribing me from mailing lists I bothered to take the time to unsubscribe from.
Not as per the law. The law explicitly states that option for judicial remedy exists. The article is the opinion of a lawyer based on current practice, but this is not what the law actually says.

This level of detail relating to interview notes isn't in there, and all references to "opinion" refer to the decision-making by the regulatory body.

Most people seem to interpret the directive to say that, because the interview notes constitute "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person", they are personal data of the person being interviewed?
In other words:

"protecting people's rights is expensive, therefore we shouldn't do it".

That's your argument? Really?
A GDPR-compliant adnetwork would be interesting. It might be a good chance for both sides (platform/website owners and users) to calibrate their perspectives on data privacy and free-platform use.
> users of social media usually post stuff because they want everyone to know about it

I think most posts on social media are targeted at people in the poster's peer group, and the only reason that everyone else can see them too is that broadcasting is the default way to contact multiple people without prior coordination (say, by joining a group chat).
Week 20 in Information Security, 2018
GDPR requires those organisations to appoint a DPO, not to hire anyone new. It's like when you designate Ben to answer the phone after 5PM, Lisa to water the plants and the last guy to leave the office to turn off the light and close the windows (and for many companies there will be a lot less work involved with being a DPO, than with switching off the lights).

The 33 Best Types of Marketing Collateral: Guide for Better Marketing Materials
Because that's the best part.
On my previous job we had to manage thousands of customer domains, including annual renewal.
This was very tedious task, so I wrote a Perl script, scraping WHOIS and DNS data for all domains listed on our DNS servers. Based on this data every domain was assigned a status, such as "Ok", "misconfigured", "about to expire", "points to foreign DNS server" or "points to foreign Web server". This script was scheduled to run every other day and sent CSV report (full and diff from previous run) to a person responsible for domain renewal.
Needless to say, our support specialists were very happy with this improvement.
I've seen a ton of bindings like this over the years, mostly implemented with SWIG (http://www.swig.org/)... for binding desktop GUI libraries like Qt, wxWidgets, etc to languages more accessible than C++.

It's all awesome, and this example here is certainly better than most (fantastic work!). The problem has traditionally been that most of these things are hobby projects from a single developer, and they go moribund when the developer gets bored and moves onto something else. Hell, if you Google around a bit, you might still find a "wxJava" binding on Sourceforge that I started and abandoned ~15 years ago.

To actually be fit for production use, one of these things needs to be either: (a) sponsored by some entity that keeps leadership continuity going, or (b) driven by an unusually large and unusually non-toxic volunteer group that is able to effectively mimic "a", or (c) created by someone who sees it as their crowning achievement and effectively dedicates their life to it. If this project really does have committed backing from the full KDE organization itself, then that's very encouraging!

I'd be interested to know if it's really an organization level commitment, or if they're just providing hosting for an experiment spearheaded by a single contributor (the Go team at Google has an "experimental" GUI library like this, but it's just one guy's noodling and no one really sees it as gaining traction outside of that). I'd also be curious what the cross-platform story is at this point (i.e. does it build and run on Windows?).

The only other examples I've seen so far that even come close to fitting the bill are in the Python community. And even that is a bit of a mess. There's confusion between two competing Qt bindings... and the wxWidgets binding has been going through a re-write for years, such that it's confusing whether to stay on the old version or adapt the new one (kinda like Python itself!).

But I still keep my eyes open, and look into this space every year or so. It would just be so awesome if there were a viable cross-platform desktop GUI solution, for a modern statically typed language somewhere between the extremes of C++ and JavaScript. I accept that desktop development is less important than it was 15 years ago... but I reject this notion that, "Desktop development is dead, just use Electron". There are still millions of use cases for true desktop applications. The only thing that's "dead" is the notion of being able to get away with just writing a native Windows version, and ignoring Macs (or vice-versa). And all of the cross-platform solutions have major problems, or are tied to languages or toolchains that people don't want to use, so that lack kinda sucks the oxygen out of the room for the open-source and hobbyist crowd on web forums.
Same goes for trying out atheism.

A new way to help ICO investors make informed decisions
In principle I might agree with you, however the EU has a long history of striking a fair balance between consumer rights and commercial interests. There is no point, in history, of the EU doing anything remotely like you've described. Which actually gives me more faith in the GDPR than legislation in a corrupt ecosystem as corrupt individuals will find a way to warp legislation in their favor anyway.

So yes, I do trust the EU and their history has proven that the aforementioned idea isn't a hollow one.
i'm sure he wasn't intending to give you an exhaustive list
These laws have been in place since 2016, they are going to start enforcing them starting the 25th. If you actually read anything about it from the source, it's clear it's setup against data abusers. It's not aimed at small businesses. If you don't do anything with user data, you don't even have to do anything. Like in the case of the OP. Aside from that, the EU doesn't have a history of overreaching/abusing power such as this. If this was US legislation your worries would be justified.
Well, it's an interesting read, though there is one aspect I question about their definition:

> People generally eschew violent vengeance in favor of relying on some authority figure or other third party.

My experience with people involved in this is that vigilante behaviour seems to be growing in popularity with this crowd. For example, note how many times you'll hear about people upsetting someone on Twitter, and then see them lose their job after thousands complain to the company about it or track down their home address/personal details or what not. Trying to have some blacklisted from the internet or their industry for some perceived slight definitely seems like taking the law into their own hands, even if its perhaps a bit less violent simply by virtue of being online.

I'd also certainly consider behaviour at protests from some of these people as violent, with actions by groups like antifa at protests against right wing figures speaking in colleges being violence inspired by victimhood culture.

Still, the rest of the article makes sense, and jives pretty well with reality.
Exactly. Most businesses will already be required to have several "responsible person" roles for e.g. health and safety and fire evacuations. It's just that in a 1-person business they're all the same person.

> I've probably spent a total of three to four days reading around the GDPR and I don't really see what's special about this law other than it's imposing decent standards on what was in effect a wildly unregulated industry in people's personal data

We are still waiting for the first court battles that will help determine how GDPR is actually enforced in practice. Until then being in compliance with GDPR is gonna be like herding invisible cats, and it's likely well intentioned people will get burned and OP ends up with major egg on his face within a years time. I want to drink the EU koolaid as much as the next person, but that's just naive.
What I'm really interested to know is how this looks from a power-performance perspective. An Arria 10 can draw 20-40 watts (I'm not sure that 90w is really realistic), and the TDP for the Xeon is 165W. When I saw the discussion about this in the past with people who work at Intel the discussion wasn't 165+90 = 225TDP. It was actually "Oh so you want to use the FPGA, better turn off 6 of those Xeon cores!

That could be a real problem for getting performance out of these systems.
Isn't there wording that says the punishment is proportional with your transgression?
Agree here. The application/hiring experience makes a lot of difference. This is cliche, but it shows a company's culture and values.

Short answer: Linux on x64 CPUs from Intel and AMD.

I worked with HP-UX on PA-RISC and IA-64 (aka Itanium), IBM AIX on Power and SUN SunOS/Solaris on Sparc from 1996 to 2005. All three vendors were touting the advantages of RISC over CISC, i.e. Intel x64 architecture. The reality was that Intel / AMD CPUs were being manufactured in huge volumes whilst IA-64, Power & Sparc were niche products with correspondingly high prices.

It is also interesting to note that HP had its proprietary RISC CPUs in the form PA-RISC family. But due to the enormous cost of designing and building CPUs they formed an partnership with Intel to co-develop the IA-64 family.

Of course, Intel was making many multiples more money from x64 family so they didn't put the same level of commitment into the IA-64 product line. This in turn meant that for any given performance level a multi-socket x64 board was price and performance competitive with the HP-UX based systems. Systems, e.g. Integrity series allowed for vPars and other partitioning tricks along with using FC connected SAN. We are talking multi-million $ systems. It was during this time that Google and Amazon were publicising their commodity hardware based massively parallel cluster architecture.

You are right, it would be great to see bindings as promising as these ones, but backed by some big players in the Qt world (such as e.g. KDAB which already provide very useful and well supported tools like the awesome GammaRay)

It's not about the vacuum effect in the bottle, it's about how the nipple is constructed. When you suck on the end, the "neck" closes because of the pressure and won't let more milk flow. I'm a bit hazy on the mechanics because it's been a while, but I'm very sure of the end result.

I imagine you can easily try it and report back if you have quick access to a bottle, maybe you can shed more light on this.
>Maximum possible fine for repeated worst possible violation after ignoring previous attempts at regulation and not making changes after previous smaller fines.

Nothing in the GDPR states this. It's obviously the intent, but ultimately it's left up to the bon vouloir of EU regulators.

It is perfectly legal under the GDPR to make an example out of you by levying the maximum fine for a first offense, and without warning.
Another use case is if you have a large amount of asynchronous I/O and real time constraints.
Nope, the buyer has to comply with american tax law. You the seller are not doing business in there.
Far better for the population to decrease naturally by choice, than due to wars over limited resources.
This article actually points out my philosophical problem with GDPR. In one point he says you have to be compliant if you want to do business in the EU. In another he observed that it is difficult (maybe impossible) to block EU folks from coming to a web presence. It’s the expansive reach that bugs me.

I’ll note that for real businesses this is just a thought excercise, but it’s one I keep coming back to. What if some less reasonable entity attempted to regulate in this way?
Its not a good example actually. Im usually understanding, or at least try to, in professional environments, but when I’m with friends on replying to strangers on social media, it’s a different story. Especially when the topic in question is so irrelevant and insignificant. Is it going to hurt anyone’s feelings? Telling everyone that it’s one of the two and making a (silly) argument out of it is all fun and games at this point.

I especially liked the "construct" part as we can use it to take input from the users in frontend as a numbered value and then store it in the database with the currency format which can be later used to make the value visible with the currency in the frontend.
You say this as though "challenging a fine" were trivial.

After countless months spent in a courtroom and tens of thousands of Euros in legal fees, even if you win, you lose.
The film “zero days” is an entertaining take on exactly this subject.
Well, presumably you can report them to the relevant regulator, then. That's the point of the law.
Yeah, this is the confusion - it's difficult to write it out in a way that isn't ambiguous! I think the fact that there are two numbers, the higher of which is the maximum fine, may imply to some people that the lower figure is the minimum - i.e. if 4% of your global turnover is €100m then €20m is the minimum - but of course there in fact isn't a minimum. It might have helped comprehension if there had been an arbitrary minimum figure - say €100 - to anchor the discussions.
