I am asking for something more general than GDPR. And I guess the worst case isn't what I am looking for either (since that would just be "fullest extent of the law").

I am trying to see what people would actually litigate over and from what I've read it seems like GDPR only applies to larger companies or pretty egregious behaviors.

I want to get a sense of the EXPECTED financial damage versus the cost of full compliance. This is just random side projects and it will take longer to understand the legalese than to code it!

For example I am sure people often misuse open-sourced licenses, forget to pay for rights to use images or fonts, forget to register at copyright office for DMCA safe harbor, etc. But the cost for all of these is not the same. Open source license misuse only matters once you get pretty big and get on their radar. But misusing a Getty Image has a 100% chance of being fined since they scan the web for unlicensed use.

There are other known problems with the essay as well. For example, I mentioned storage costs but it turned out to be more complex than that. The point is not only to provide an overview though but more importantly to trace back the problems to Larry/Sergey, which is why it is so important. And yes I focus on ad tracking using cookies and nothing else. When I was writing the essay BTW, even tracing back when they began sharing the retargeting data took some time.

>The whole point is to make it somewhat independent of the company size, so bigger companies won't just swallow the fines.

I don't get it.

"Autopilot" aka adaptive cruise control is going to continue failing since drivers think it's more than that.

More people are going to die in spectacular, headlining fashion.

Imagine if that was a schoolbus instead of a firetruck.

Even Tesla's "non-autopilot" crashes are front page news because it's such a story.

Every front page story whittles away a little at the magical Tesla brand.

A brand, which in the midst of production issues, capitalization issues, and leadership issues is their major asset that could carry them to the other side.

Turn the thing off if hands aren't on the wheel, end of story.
Why Do Houses Cost So Much?
It seems like their model is too simple to draw any firm conclusions? It essentially treats all types of content the same. That is, what about this causality flow:

group -> type of content generated -> audience reach

People in different groups will prefer to author different kinds of content at different rates, and this could entirely account for audience reach.

For example, suppose we classify content by the language it's written in? One would expect people who write content in English or maybe Chinese to reach a larger audience than people generating content in a less well-known language.

But there are plenty of other dimensions that will affect audience reach.

A physical keyboard turned out to be unnecessary.

The software keyboard became far superior, for input speed. And accuracy, with the use of spell-checking and auto-correction, for most cases.

The auto-correction feature allows you to type faster with a software keyboard. It corrects it on the fly. But you must re-read what you typed, to ensure that it is correct.

The annoying part is when it selects the wrong word.

The other useful feature is the auto-suggestion, which allows you to tap on the word that you want to write. This sometimes help to reduce your typing.

But overall, I find the software keyboard allows me to type far faster on a smartphone, than a physical keyboard ever could.
The one major difference between humanity today and humanity of thousands of years ago is technology. Eras are dictated by technology. And this applies all the way to very recent events. We can really only look back on the world wars of not all that long with bemusement. It seems so surreal that we could have wars of such a scale that 3% of the world's population would be killed. And the reason these wars, which were becoming ever more violent, stopped was technology. Nuclear weapons made all out war between developed nations a thing of the past as the weapons were so brutally effective that they ensure there can never be a winner in any war, only losers.

And going back further in history issues would be things such as starvation, dying from exposure to the elements, dying from basic sickness including run of the mill fevers or basic infections. Today our issues seem laughably petty by contrast. One concern effectively coming down to "I don't like that I only have a tv, air conditioning, internet access, a car, ready access to food, electronic toys of various sorts, ... but somebody else has even more!"

And most importantly - you don't have to participate in all technology. In spite of my evangelizing technological progress above all, my phone is still an old brick (actually they're quite small now - and the batteries last for a couple of weeks at a time) 'dumbphone.' And my kids certainly will be raised Steve Jobsesque, which is to say no mobile devices or other such toys for them. I completely agree not all technological progress is good, and so you're free to step aside from it. Taken to extremes the Amish have turned away from nearly all technological progress and still flourish, at least so much as they can.

With most of our wages today we could purchase large homesteads in 'flyover country' and get back to basics. And I find that extremely appealing and plan to do just that, though not in America. Although 'basics' in my view will include autonomous gardens, autonomous feeders, autonomous mowers, solar energy, and of course gotta have that juicy internet access. Life is what you make of it. And technology is the toolset that you get to draw your choices from.
>programmability remains the big problem for FPGAs

I agree because there's added levels of complexity with HDLs that SW doesn't have to deal with. What would be nice is if there was a tool that you could declare your problem (functions) and your constraints (throughput, LUTs available) and it would figure out the memory, ALUs and pipe-lining needed to solve the problem.

The weird thing about the notch is that it's really obvious that Apple made a compromise due to constraints. They're likely to do some next level technology investment to get rid of it, and it's going to leave their competitors bamboozled once again.

Creating an engineering problem due to ambitious design, then soaking in the industry scorn and praise, then solving that problem with something new and great is Apples wheelhouse. Competitors who don't see this pattern are doomed.
These sounds like good steps. Bias can still exist in functional/effective HR pipelines because it is after all a pipeline run by humans, not robots, but they shouldn't outweigh the most important values required for the role.

Fixed rate mortgages exists in Europe as well. But most consumers prefer 0.5% variable rates to 5% fixed rates.
Then those people had spent beyond their means when they purchased the home. When you buy a home, part of the risk is that most of your net worth is wrapped up in the home, and as a result you may not be able to move if you have to sell at a harsh loss. If you are not prepared to ride out a dip in the housing market, you shouldn't buy in the first place.
As someone not living in the US, having a loan rate fixed for 30 years seems insane. So if interest rates go up in the US more than Freddie Mac expects, they are going to lose money on all their loans for 30 years? Seems like an unsustainable risk to me.

In Australia we have 4 year fixed home loan rate, and most loans are variable rate.

Just because Tesla calls it Autopilot doesn't absolve drivers of responsibility in my mind. Especially since Tesla explicitly says drivers should still be attentive. That said, I agree it's poor marketing.
Pornhub launches its own VPN
I am now starting to fear being in front of a Tesla on the freeway, or on the streets.

Why? Because the idiotic driver might not even be paying attention to the road, and is dazing off and looking at the clouds, or his phone, instead of focusing on the car in front of him, or the surrounding traffic around him.

These Tesla crashes are not only a danger to the Tesla occupant, but, it is even more dangerous to the victim that the Tesla would hit! Because that victim can now suffer from whiplash, or worse.
Precisely. Although it makes reasonably good cars, Tesla still relies heavily on hype and astro-turfing (mostly on sites where enthusiasts/potential buyers congregate) [0] to get the word out and generate gargantuan amounts of intrigue.

Choosing this 'hype-heavy' model of "advertising" can sometimes thrust customers into relying on those hyped-up features way more, thus leading to accidents like the article talks about.

I'm saying this with the firm understanding that majority of the responsibility for safety lies at the hands of the driver in command, but letting Tesla's hype driven marketing strategy off the hook would be unfair to the customers.

PostgreSQL: Redesigning the executor (async, JIT, memory efficiency)
In the context of automated driving, 'end-to-end' tends to mean that the net learns a transformation function that maps input images to steering wheel and pedal positions. In that sense, there is 'no human input' at any stage.

In contrast to this, every significant AD effort uses hand crafted parts for most of their pipeline. Machine learning is mostly used in the initial object detection and tracking steps.

I assume you mean that Tesla should do this automatically.
I think it's more accurate to say the Mac was inspired by Xerox PARC's work and Windows was an attempt at cloning the Mac.

There's a significant difference between creating a next-generation version of something and attempting to blindly clone someone else's work.

The iPhone was inspired by work that Palm did but it wasn't an attempt at cloning it. Zune was an attempt at cloning the iPod. Google+ was an attempt at cloning Facebook. Facebook was inspired by Friendster/MySpace, but not a clone.
>The design was originally reasonably polarizing/radical. Half the reason these design elements are now so widespread is because everyone immediately copied Apple.

About 10 years ago there was a widely publicized case of a small town policitician in the US, who had posted a nutty campaign video to his own website, and which later got picked up by a TV program (like AFV or somesuch). He thought it was great that his video was on TV, so he posted a video of it being shown on the program, something like 5 seconds of their introduction followed by 60 seconds of his own material.

The TV network promptly sued him for infringing their copyright, and (I believe) lost. There would have been a fair amount of backlash as well.

I'd argue that space research is a large enough expenditure that it can only be supported (as in systematically support, not a billionaire gifting their life savings) by the market. There's nothing sad about it, money has to come from somewhere.

If you're talking between NGOs, government, or the market, which one has the most well funded and successful ventures , the market wins every time. It scales better than top down funding and provides longevity and sustained results.

LEO is a great stepping stone and maturity there is a prerequisite IMO for further space exploration. The goal is not just landing on Mars - the goal is building up a space ecosystem, and this seems to be the right start.

I won't definitively answer your question, but know you are loved. The world is more interesting with you in it.
You are deluded.
You're making an argument, but I think you take it for granted that everyone knows what "the problems" are. I'm still not sure what that is!

Also, why is it important to trace the problems back to Larry/Sergey? What about the early engineers who worked on adsense? The early PMs? Surely they are just as culpable for "the problems" (which ones again?) as anyone else? I guess they aren't household names?

Also, adsense/doubleclick revenue accounts for 14.9% of total company revenue as per the last 10-Q filed. So it's a misrepresentation to discuss adsense/doubleclick as anything other than an important, but not critical, part of Google. Google could, in theory, lose all that revenue and still remain in the black.
After talking to quite a few drivers and driving thousands of miles on Auotopilot myself, I don’t think people are confused by the name. It is pretty clear very quickly what the car can or can’t do. I think people are poor at estimating risk and we would have these accident whatever you call these semi-autonomous features. The interesting thing for me is that despite the shortcomings of the current Autopilot, I wouldn’t go back to a car without. It lowers the strain of driving sufficiently to really be worth it. And I am a driver with a hand on the wheel and eyes on the traffic, all the time.
That's solvable: if it can't see your eyes, then you can't use Autopilot. That should still let the majority of people use Autopilot the majority of the time.
As a Nexus owner (4, 5, 6, 7), I am 100% willing to compromise in camera quality. However, something has to give. If this phone debuted at $299 or even $349, I suspect we'd be seeing very different results.

It is a shame too because I think the Amazon Fire phone failed for the very same reason.

In hindsight, the ridiculous invite system that one plus had makes sense now. Maybe they were trying to limit the number of phones sold because each one sold at razor thin profits (possibly at a loss after warranty support).
On first day of GDPR beeing enforcable, non profit organization (where main protagonist organized 25000 class action suit against facebook in 2014, but was rejected by court - now he has legislation to back him up) filled 4 complaints in 4 different countries (looks like a good idea to not overwhelm ICO in 1 country with 4 investigations, probably 5th ICO will join (Ireland).

After reading the complaints, it is directed into common way how GDPR is beeing handled by large companies, showel everything under legitimate interest, update privacy policy and force consent, which is clear violation.

Now this is going to be interesting, maximum posible penalty for all four (combined) is 7.6 Mrd euros.
There are also Google Analytics/Urchin though. Part of the point of the essay (and one of the hardest parts for me to write) is to figure out when they merged the tracking data after the acquisition. I would consider the DoubleClick one worse than AdSense BTW, which is part of the point of the essay.

Sure, I can see that. Without not knowing their argument, I can see the following pressures on sustaining current price levels:

1. Investor money swooping up property for rental purposes.

2. Home owners refraining from selling in a buyers’ market. As long as they are able to make payments on their leveraged debt.

But there is no denying that higher interest rates put a downward pressure on home prices due to debt being more expensive and investment money finding more promising returns elsewhere; i.e. bonds.

Some other downward pressures I could see impacting housing markets are:

1. Lack of wage increases

2.Baby boomers dumping homes on the market over the next decade

3. Insolvent municipal/state public pensions. Money on these IOUs gotta come from somewhere. Bonds and cuts are one way, raising taxes is another.
