Thanks for the US-CERT/FBI links, we'll report to them. We've reported the site through Google's safe browsing form and the registrar and host abuse addresses. Both registrar and host replied saying they found no malware on the site, despite us submitting analysis on it.

I don't think ICANN deals with malware, but we'll contact the registry. We've also considered DMCA, but we think it would be a very temporary solution.
Perhaps you could list a legal reason — not the marketing pitch we've all seen for the last decade but something where it makes financial sense to favor it?

I’m not saying it can’t be used but just that there aren’t many reasons other than speculation or an ideological stance. If I was, say, the corner coffee shop what would balance out the extra fees, delays, and lack of fraud protection?

> A resident on the other hand would be using risky appliances every day (cooker, oven, heating, hair dryer, etc)

If you don’t see the difference between a household appliance that sporadically uses some electricity vs a mining ring that continually draws very high current on wire not rated for that usage, then I guess we can’t have an intellectual discussion. Especially as the source article mentions miner fires that have already happened. Heck, depending on the age of the place, it could still be aluminum wiring even which is even worse.

> How does zoning change this in any way?

You don’t think all these new infrastructure that will ultimately go to waste doesn’t have an environtal impact?

> albeit with an upgraded electrical and network infrastructure paid by the miners

You think a short (as in anything under 5+ years) lived burst in electricity sales will pay for all that infrastructure they need to build? Especially as they could make more money exporting that capacity via existing infrastructure to other areas?

Fair point. Pretty much all of my data protection work recently has been with sites that can identify the person, sorry, I let thay context affect what I said.

> Yoga was pseudoscience once. Now there is overwhelming evidence in support of it.

just because something that used to be labeled pseudoscience turns out to be real science, doesn't mean you can use that fact to defend other pseudoscience claims.

> Ayurveda descends from a similar lineage.

what are you implying here? that yoga is an ancient indian tradition and is proven to be legit, Ayurveda is also an ancient indian tradition, therefore it's probably also legit?

Writing the fastest matrix multiplication you can is pretty fun. It probably won't be as fast a BLAS or MKL, but if you get close to it, it's a rewarding experience.

> see what else can be done I recommend reading this paper by Kazushige Goto

After doing the easiest change of loop reordering for already significant perf improvements, the paper linked ("Anatomy on a high performance matrix multiplication") is really excellent.

It will walk you through all the optimizations like tiling for reducing L1, L2, L3, and TLB cache misses, and leverage vectorization.

Then for squeezing out even more perf I remember there's the things like loop prefetching, loop unrolling, which you would expect the compiler with the best optimizations flags even targeted for the native architecture to take care of automatically. But you realize that it's not necessarily true.
If you look at the picture of the burnt camera, the lens hood is totalled, and it smeared melted plastic all over the place – you can see it melting shut in the video – but both the lens and the camera body seem more or less intact, and I suspect the innards of the camera are relatively undamaged.

It's also worth noting that what damaged the camera was a relatively low-temperature grass fire, not the blazing hot inferno of rocket fuel. All in all, after the initial shock of "the card survived _what_!?" it's actually not _that_ surprising that they managed to salvage it.
As an EU citizen I agree. Also, GDPR is problematic because it confuses privacy with invisibility. I hope this problematic law is amended soon.
The problem boils down to: What is a fair electricity price to charge a company that adds very little benefit to the local economy? Two approaches would be:
1) charge the going local rate and treat them like any other business.
2) Charge the export rate to recover the lost revenue from outside electricity sales.

1) This is unfair, because it drives up local costs for everyone without providing local economic benefit.

2) I argue this is still unfair, because the export rate alone does not capture the value and revenue of the ability to provide backup power services (i.e. load shaping+ and firming generation++).

Across the northern border, BC Hydro has also been flooded with miners asking to purchase power. The province is powered ~98 % by hydro and residential electricity rates are ~0.07 – 0.09 $US/kWh. Power export services subsidize local rates. Revenue from export services (~15 %) & revenue from local rate payers are set to recover utility costs, while maximizing economic benefit to the province. The export rate (i.e. the price of electricity that physically flows across the border) represents only a fraction of the revenue from export services. Hydro exports have the ability to shape load+ and firm contracts for power++. The key is that power doesn’t necessarily flow across the border when load shaping and firming contracts are in place. But customers pay good money for the ability to call upon that power when it is needed. That ability is diminished by the additional electricity demand of miners. The value of that ability is not captured in the raw export rate.

+load shaping service: Import/export power so that the net-load a customer sees matches that customer’s contracted or self-generation.

++firming generation: Provide backup power to a customer who has agreed to provide power to a third party at a certain time. Should the generators of the customer fail, the exporter will quickly ramp up production to fill the gap.

---

To those calling for “free markets”:

Determining a fair rate to charge miners is difficult, because the economics of hydro power systems work differently than most other liberalized electricity markets. In liberalized markets, all generators bid how much electricity they are willing to supply at which cost, for the next hour or so. Then you stack all the cheapest generators until your demand is satisfied and, voila, that last dispatched generator dictates your market price for that hour. Large consumers can buy electricity at that fluctuating market rate, or choose to shut down. Here, miners would pay the marginal cost, fair enough.
Markets with large hydro power stations can’t work like that. Withholding a large dam from generating electricity gives the operator enough “market power” to be the price-setting generator every hour year round, which gives that operator the ability to dictate prices.

No sane western corporation will willingly eliminate an entity about the site of USA out of spite and take a profit hit just because of new PII protocol.

Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on your business and your market.

We're in the UK. If we'd understood how much trouble the EU VAT rules were going to cause when they came in three years ago, we would have excluded customers from the remaining EU member states rather than adapting our systems and processes to comply -- and it would have been one of the clearest and easiest business decisions we'd ever made.

Given the amount of uncertainty and liability involved with the GDPR, it seems entirely possible that some non-EU services will take a similarly conservative approach.

>Not going into the whole modern abomination to strip lesser shareholders of their rights to vote as Google, Facebook, Snap have done with their tiered stocks

However if you want to argue you're problems with crypto (there are many) we need to make arguments using the way things are in the real world.

Given I'm a retail investor. In one universe I place a bet on Snap for 50k. In another I took that same 50k and put it into bitcoin. In both universes my bet goes bad, both asset's price per unit goes to 0. Snap goes through the process of being liquidated. Remember I'm a retail investor, I own common stock.

Now am I better off in one universe over another? I'd argue that I'm not. However if I were Warren Buffet, I'd have been much better off bought Snap as I would have preferred shares.

Bitcoin, at this point in time (and for the last two years or so, though not really for the preceding eight) is digital gold. It's a version of gold that, with proper preparation, can be carried inside your head when you move from place to place, or transferred by voice or text message.

Most people in the west have about the same use for gold[0] and bitcoin - speculation, gamble, "investment". However, people of Venezuela, Turkey, Libya, Iran and even Russia have a lot of use for gold (and bitcoin): A store of value they can take with them if they leave. And unlike gold, bitcoin can be made confiscation proof. The official currencies of these places have more volatility and less stability than BTC.

[0] Gold does have ornamental and industrial use, but that's NOT why people buy it, and not why it is valued the way it is. The "investment" claims on gold outnumbers the industrial/ornamental claims by some 3 or 4 orders of magnitude.

We definitely want cities to become a high technology in my opinion. But we need to do it in a way that maintains privacy and allows ordinary people to participate.

My question for these people would be how can we audit the systems for privacy concerns, and how exactly would one create a development that plugs into this smart city.

I believe ultimately this can result in a much improved city. But since they seem to not be answering those questions I mentioned appropriately at the moment and they are so important, I think that all legal or other pressures available should be applied until good answers come out. To me the current activity seems to have completely subverted government and the public trust. Since government tends to be obsolete, I can see how that might be a tendency. But I think the solution will need to eventually be a high tech government rather than a bunch of secret dealings that bypass an outdated one.
By the way, why is IP so important to this many? The only reason I can think of is browser fingerprinting, but for that, IP is actually secondary. Why even bother storing IP apart from temporary/ephemeral security, say, fail2ban?

Generating Trees and Other Interesting Shapes with L-Systems
I wish I could remember the book, but I originally got it because it's title was something like "Understanding and improving learning", something like that. It ended up being more about the first 10 years of life's learning rather than just learning in general. Still read it because it was interesting.

Anyways, to the point. The first few years of someone's life is proven to be crazy important. It's well confirmed when they find kids who have literally lived in the woods since babies (Jungle Book style, there's a few cases world wide of this and they are all nuts/heartbreaking) and of one case of some loony parents that locked up their kid in a room from birth with next to no interaction. Just enough to feed. Wasn't rescued until around 13 or so.

They find that those missing the first few years of a parents teaching basic social interactions, speech and motor skills through play are at a severe disadvantage. It's simply a foundation. If you have a weak structural foundation, the building will collapse. Even though that foundation is never seen by the outside world (both for buildings and metaphorically), doesn't mean it's not there and it's not vital.

A bulk of your knowledge does come from outside sources. But you can't learn calculus without knowing arithmetic. And you can't learn arithmetic without someone putting up with "What number is this?" "Twee!" "Good job!". Those sessions help accelerate your learning. Without that base, learning is probably a shallow linear line through life experiences. Because you only "learn"... ish... from what you encounter. Parental teachings give you a base that help accelerate learning from linear to something more logarithmic.

I wish I could remember the book's name. She goes into some relatively well thought out public education reform that, at the least, is a damn good start in my opinion. The woman also better explains everything I mentioned because developmental teaching is her field of expertise. My library doesn't seem to offer an online history of checked out books... which is surprising or I'm stupid and can't find it.

Maybe the TLDR to this is, the parents education process helps turn learning into a logarithmic endeavor instead of a trial/error shallow linear one.
The GDPR's scope is based on geography, not citizenship. If you're an EU citizen currently in the US, you do not necessarily enjoy whatever rights and protections the GDPR might offer you if you were within the EU. If you're a US citizen currently in the EU, you do enjoy those protections.
I'm unfamiliar with CNN's, but you can draw masks manually to protect/remove parts of an image, or use a face recognition thing, or a motion detection thing, etc.
U.S. law applies, just like normal, unless the website is located in the EU. The EU claiming jurisdiction over transactions entirely in another country would be a major breach of sovereignty, which is why the law uses the phrase "data subjects in the Union".

Note that EU law does apply for visitors, so look forward to data tourism!
I have ~600 small business customers from the EU who are using my SaaS product and until now I received zero requests regarding GDPR. It seems it was the right decision to ignore this law, because no one cares about it. The same thing was with the cookie banner.

Imagine your country claiming taxes from you even though you are an ex-patriate and not living in that country. Oh, that does happen.

You can't just build a firewall for data, especially as users will actually willingly export data.
You look at the GDPR from a business side only and miss that it is about personal data and how that data has become a commodity that is being traded, mishandled and often abused.

So far none of the US-based services that I use has shut down or blocked me just because I'm under the protection of the GDPR. Those websites we see blocking users have either no interest in the European market (fair enough) or are indeed using shady practices.

I don't much about Java. But, for example, if you want to implement the technique from the link above in Java, you'd need LoadFloat8, BroadcastFloat8, and AdduFloat8. I'm not sure how they are implemented in Glow, but they can be implemented using inline assembly. You'd need something like SIMD intrinsics Java library to access these crucial x86 SIMD instructions.
>people invest on the basis that there'll be huge growth in the area of blockchain technology and tokenised digital assets in the years to come.

That's been the 'investment thesis' for the past 5-8 years.

And people have been bidding these things up ever higher, because any day now someone's going to figure out something actually useful to do with them...

(And in the mean time if some coiners get to skim a little cream from the irrational exuberance, I'm sure they don't mind to do so.)

But where is any coherent trend line supporting claims of huge growth in the area of blockchain technology and tokenised digital assets in the years to come.?

Seems to be wishful thinking that is completely at odds with the reality of these systems.

Not because of contents, but because of the fact how i got it. Our local "search engine" (already dead) make a gift to everyone in the country - you can pick any IT book that you wish and they will give it to you for free.

That was a great example how spending (very little i suppose) money can help a lot of people. Most of my friends got something from them. Eventually when i won several prizes on coding contest i have done same thing - i gifted 50 books to young developers and they was able to pick anything they want too. That was a great experience and after years people sometimes still tell me that how it helped them.
There is no enforcement because if GDPR claims that it has jurisdiction over entities not having physical presence in the EU, then the law isn't lawful to begin with.

And if the EU started going after companies/individuals who don't have presence in the EU because they claim "we say so", well, then the rest of the world can play that game to.

Maybe the rest of the world will put sanctions on EU bureaucrats if EU bureaucrats start trying to shake down companies that have no presence in the EU.
