Those rose colored glasses seem to have forgotten Kevin Mitnick, and the accounting practices used to inflate the impression of the amount of damage he did.

The 90's in the school's computer lab may have felt differently if you escaped any sort of punishment for exploration, but the CFAA was first enacted in 1986 and the punishment for computer crimes have been disproportional since before then, owing to societal lack of understanding of how computers actually work.

It will forces businesses to stay well clear of the line or pack up and go home. And that's not a bad thing.

I'm not so sure. No-one knows where the line is, so many organisations can only be sure they're staying well clear by stopping all kinds of legitimate, reasonable data processing, which is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. An alternative, which I've seen quite a few small organisations and individuals adopting and now a few larger ones as well, is to just cut the EU off entirely if they're based outside and thus put themselves outside the scope of the GDPR for practical purposes, and then carry on as before under more liberal regimes like the US. Both of these strategies are harmful without really helping anyone.
Thanks (to the others too), that does sound good.
Not only does materials overall matter little, but Lithium is also super cheap compared to the other materials in the batteries. There's a lot more of Nickel in a Li-Ion battery and it's much more expensive per volume and weight as well.

The batteries would be called Nickel-Carbon or something like that rather than Lithium-anything, if they were named by the amounts or costs of materials in them.
As someone who's done a bunch of interop in ReasonML & ClojureScript, ClojureScript interop blows ReasonML away (in terms of ease) at the language level.

The current problem with ClojureScript interop is the Google Closure compiler's support for stuff on npm. I switched our team to using shadow-cljs[0] and it solved all of those problems. Would highly recommend.

"In all the decades of programming, I've yet to run into a problem which could only be solved in Perl because it couldn't be done in AWK."

Have you ever pondered the number of projects that, in addition to sh, make and common base utilities, require perl during compilation where awk could have sufficed?

As a single example, have you looked at compiling openssl without perl, using awk instead?

Whenever I see a perl prerequisite I question whether it is truly a requirement or whether other base utilities1 such as awk could replace it.

Assuming it could be removed, how much effort is one willing to expend in order to extinguish a perl dependency?

1. Some OS projects like OpenBSD make perl a base utility.
I know about the RRZN where this is done.

> Masks and temporary/permanent face altering techniques will explode as this technology takes hold

Along with a corresponding explosion in legislation to prevent you from covering your face in public. It already exists in France (popularly known as the 'Burqa Ban', but I think it covers other face coverings).

I'm especially curious to see how this will go down in the UK, which is increasingly authoritarian while often painfully politically correct.

An ill-thought-out and ambiguous piece of law will be rushed through Parliament, with various exemptions for religious groups. The far right will become outraged about these exemptions, and stage protests. The "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" brigade will be out in force. The government will make vague statements about protecting us from terrorists. Paedophiles will definitely be mentioned at some point.

Eventually there'll be farcical prosecutions of people who were just cycling to work with a pollution mask, or going to a fancy-dress party. And the police will continue to claim they're under-funded, while somehow finding the resources to pursue bullshit like this.
> What this means is that before you get lawsuit and fines, someone will talk to you and work with you to see how you can get compliant.

Can you point to the section of the legislation that says this? It would probably go a long way to stopping folks from freaking out.

This visualization starts in 1820, so it misses out on the time period when most slaves were brought into the country.

Btc value increased not due to scams - neither the scammers nor the scammed ever hold the stuff (that is, off an exchange in a secure wallet), but due to long term holders, to whom it will continue to be attractive until some state goes back on the gold standard, which is not happening.

EDIT:

Also, the number of people to whom btc is attractive is less important than the type of people. It may be that there is never mass adoption of Bitcoin - it is also the case that throughout history most people never had any money at all. And even though most people never had any money, sound money has been extremely valuable nonetheless because most people don't know what to do with money anyway.

Wait, did you read the article? :)
Most higher-end grocery stores in the US sell trays in which the raw, unfrozen ingredients are assembled and require baking -- a sort of upmarket TV dinner. Some sell kits that have some groupings of the ingredients packaged separately, because they need to be cooked separately or in different ways. I'm not a market researcher, but I'm guessing these existing products are packaged in this way for convenience, to appeal to people who want a complete meal with little effort. I can imagine that the thinking goes, if the customer went to the grocery store, they either want to browse and select the ingredients from the entire store themselves -- y'know, the entire reason you stock quality ingredients and furnished the store in an appealing way -- or they're looking for something more prepared that they can grab and go.

The now-hip contemporary subscription meal kit is a box of raw ingredients packaged separately, and there's a fair bit of effort that needs to be expended to prep and cook. The fact that it shows up at your door is great for convenience, but the fact that you have prep for 30 minutes isn't. Most meal kit companies have embraced the prep as an experience to be marketed, and that's smart -- clearly, people exist who will pay for the experience. But in this space, retention is low, and it's hard to be profitable because of the costs of logistics and assembly.

Upmarket grocery stores are in a perfect position to make this style of product work, because they already have the logistics around ingredients figured out, and they have labor on hand in stores and in their distribution and prep centers. And, in theory, they're even cheaper to prepare than the meal trays they sell today. But it remains to be seen whether paying a hefty premium for a pre-selected box of raw ingredients at a grocery store will be a hit or an object of ridicule.

This is inaccurate. Tether demand INCREASES when the cryptomarkets crash because traders want to escape to non-volatile assets. If everyone converts their crypto to USDT at the same time (which is what happens during big crashes) they MUST print more Tether or the price will increase.
Their core business is losing money hand over fist, and it's not clear the economics will ever work out.

I think they were floundering -- until the new CEO took over. Their approach appears to now be building an Expedia for local travel which includes ridesharing, JUMP bikes and Getaround.

These side projects (self-driving, logistics, etc) I believe are the holdovers of the earlier era before they knew what they were doing. They always struck me as more of as a way of distracting everyone else until they did.
Yikes. I would not allow a business to continue to exist whose argument is “at least we’re only partially wreckless”.

> If there is no free will why even think about how to organize criminal justice

What you are asking is, "if there is no free will, then why are you thinking about criminal justice out of your own free will?"

None of us is "doing" anything, it just happens.

Here is a little experiment: next time you talk to someone, try to find out what you will be saying before you actually say it. Maybe, there will be a surprise.
Perhaps they wanted lower tolerances for braking than possible with the Volvo system ... which still seems rather unresponsible.
I don't have experience with self-driving cars, Uber or Volvo safety systems, but my Jeep's backup collision prevention often slams the brakes if I'm backing up and the camera detects potholes, oil stains, or irregular painted lines in the parking lot.

If any of the systems are vulnerable to any such false positives, and equipped to enable emergency braking to avoid them, even on the highway, it's not hard to imagine why they might be disabled, especially during testing phases.

I think it's fair to say that at this early stage in product development, there's probably no 'always right' answer for how to handle a given obstacle without considering locality, driving speed, road conditions, likelihood of false positives and negatives, etc.

What market have you been watching where you think the statement 'Investing in bitcoin is extremely risky' has been proven wrong?

In one day in Nov 2017 bitcoin went up 15% in early trading then was down 21% later in the day before rebounding to close near even.

Whether bitcoin will be some like long lasting actual useful thing remains to be seen, but one thing that is undeniable is that investing in bitcoin is extremely risky.

This hold true just focusing on the general market behavior alone while ignoring all the issues such as getting money into and out of exchanges and hacks.

I'm still struggling with the fact that the EU can compel me to add what will be a funnel shattering dialog to my onboarding.

I've shelved a bunch of side projects that I was excited to work on because I have no interest in dealing with any of this ambiguous law. Implementing it would most likely cause a large percentage of users to uninstall my app, because who wants to be greeted with a scary sounding dialog as their first experience in an app. I know many folks here are privacy oriented, but unless this tiny slice of the population is willing to fund my app, I have 0 interest in pandering to them vs the majority of users that would get scared away by it.

I know that there's an almost 0% chance of any repercussion for not being compliant in a tiny app that'll probably never get anywhere, but I'm just so sickened by this whole thing that I don't want to deal with any of it.
> that's a bit easier to manage/less likely to cascade.

What gives you that impression? Seems to me that it explodes if you contain it, and if you don't contain it, it can spout jets of thermal energy at virtually any angle. With flywheels you need to arrest it in bulk heavy objects that don't tend to sustain fire. That seems a lot simpler to me.

The bigger problems with flywheels are cost of manufacture and (depending on the technology used) efficiency for overnight storage.

> I thought the trend in flywheels was magnetic suspension and removing mechanical linkages? Admittedly I haven't kept up.

IIRC flywheels with limited motion gimbals (to reduce the tolerances on the wheel) are becoming more popular, still magnetic bearings.
It's more expensive to build the same infrastructure today then it was in 1960 for a huge number of reasons, none of which have anything to do with Seattle policy.

As density increased, the infrastructure we need today is more expensive, even if the cost of construction stayed the same.

Before all land within city limits was developed, the city could charge large fees for subdivisions. Generally, American city infrastructure is financed by such fees. There aren't very many subdivisions happening anymore.

Lastly, the rate of population growth was slower, and did not create a housing crisis. All of the above can be stomached through when you don't have exploding rents and homeless populations -despite the unprecedented levels of residential construction the city's seeing.
You only gave me two options :)

First, I am doing this because I am curious. I first looked at the 451 error code for a publisher many years ago where we were anticipating a court order banning an article in a given country.

Second, I have a number of sites where we have done the work to be compliant with GDPR so thats nice.

Third, there are sites where there is so many third-party scripts added over the years that it would take months to administratively figure out what is needed and what is not. They were not just added on the template level (medium/easy to clean-up) but added by individuals directly through a CMS which makes it very very hard.

Its in that third case that we might be forced to have our own 451 error page (or something else) until it can be untangled.

I'm an advocate of the GDPR and welcome its challenges but its technically difficult even if you mean well. I'm sympathetic to those hitting problems. To be clear, it is NOT about 'choosing to comply' or not, and saying so means you don't fully understand the technical challenges.

Considering that 1) you are supposed to keep sufficient distance to break even if the vehicle/generic object in front of you suddenly freezes in space, e.g. a massive wall flush with the rear end of the vehicle in front of you suddenly appears, and 2) the only things that could conceivably rear end an emergency breaking Uber/Volvo would be bikes and other >=4 wheel vehicles (cars/trucks/etc.), which either drive carefully anyway ((non-)motorized bikes), or have a low probability of human damage (cars/trucks), false positives should be preferred to false negatives by somewhere between 5:1 and 1000:1. The latter only if the following vehicles are civilized enough to hold the distance. The car could figure this in, and computer probabilities for what damage an emergency maneuver would cause, which means that it'd break for a stray cat if it's otherwise alone on the road and the surface is dry. But it won't break for a wolf if it's tailgated by a truck, but potentially even accelerate, to make up for the loss of momentum (but light the rear break lights, to stop as soon as it registers the truck to slow down).
