This sounds like you're trying to use blockchain to invent artificial scarcity for "digital goods." The only possible benefit I see from that is letting copyright owners preserve their current business models rather than adapt to the reality that bits are freely and easily copyable.

Why would we want that?
They've done so in other industries a couple times with HIPAA and FERPA. What makes newspapers different?

It's widely considered one of the best marketing campaigns of all time, and used frequently as a case study in business school, for good reason.
From what I read, most of it is "eh, maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't, but we couldn't prove that it does help." But I thought a valid point was made here:

"Most people in Western countries don’t have an optimal diet. This review shows taking supplements as an “insurance policy” against poor dietary habits does not work. If it did, there would have been a reduction in early death."

Eat your broccoli.
“Monopoly” doesn’t mean there are literally no alternatives.
I used my (deceased) grandmother's engagement and wedding bands. I paid a few hundred bucks to get them repaired and cleaned up (they needed work after ~60 years of wear) and am very happy. They're about 1/4 the size of my wife's friends rocks, but they got a big rock and we got a lot closer to a down payment on a house.
> Imagine a world where ... if a drug is cheaper in Canada we can buy it from there.

This assumes that the issue here is a regulatory failure, rather than intentional price discrimination on the price of drug companies.

Forcing the entire world into a single market with the same prices would raise drug prices on most of the world, without necessarily reducing prices meaningfully in the US.
How is this better than CloudBerry + AWS S3? Cloudberry allows you to map a drive and makes an AWS S3 bucket look like a standard Windows drive. It also supports multi part upload and supports retrying failed chunks.

It's intuitive, built on top of AWS and you can take advantage of all of the other AWS features -- i.e. send an email notification when a file is received, supports versioning, fine grained access control. as much storage space as your budget will allow etc.

CloudBerry drive has a one time cost of $40.

Google has lost a lot of steam lately IMO. Facebook is releasing better tools and Microsoft, the company they nearly vanquished a decade ago, is releasing better products. Google does remain the master of its own hype though.
Is it really so hard to believe that people are all out of trust and goodwill at this point? It’s like having a classroom full of toddlers who all play with matches, and every few weeks they burn the whole school down. Finally the teachers makes rule: no one gets to play with matches. A couple of kids say they’re very responsible and never set fire to anything.

Nobody cares.

It is not difficult to avoid storing data you don't need.

You don't need a user phone number? Easy, don't ask for it.

Of course you argument is that it is difficult to change existing systems to follow this principle. Except that your starting position was that this regulation was about stifling competition, which is thus in direct contradition with this argument.

Existing systems were built on the assumption that "misappropriating" PII was a lucrative thing to do. This led to abuse from the industry.
I think that having a user-accessible VM in the kernel is a useful thing that a lot of OS's eventually need for other reasons (e.g. packet filtering, syscall sandboxing). We might as well design for it properly up front.

I swear I don't understand the point of this comment. What you say can be said about private property: it's just a social construct, dependent on government enforcement; or indeed about pretty much any law ever. We decided that people own information about them, and have a right to decide when and how to allow others to use it, and enshrined that right in law.
Absolutely we don't try to hide that information you can try out our file transfer calculator here https://www.masv.io/file-transfer-calculator/ - This compares MASV to shipping hard drives and uses real rates from the fedex api. The way I like to think of it is it's much more convenient to transfer online instead of shipping hard drives as there is just less to deal with and it's harder to scale. So if MASV is faster or not much longer then shipping a drive or hand delivering then it's time you can spend on taking on more projects.

As an employee, I'd rather stick around. I greatly dislike the hazing rituals that tech hiring has become. Also, if I generally enjoy the problems I'm given to solve, I want to keep solving them. However, my view is that companies only care about money, so I should too. If I don't get good, consistent raises, I have to leave and take my experience with me.
So it becomes this?

> In my experience from chess, you'd be at a huge disadvantage if you started with this zero-knowledge handicap.

One problem is that we can't play millions of games against ourselves in a few hours. We can play a few games, grow tired, and then need to go do something else. Come back the next day, repeat. It's a very slow process, and we have to worry about other things in life. How much of one's time and focus can be used on learning a game? You could spend 12 hours a day, if you had no other responsibilities, I guess. That might be counter productive, though. We just don't have the same capacity.

If you artificially limited AlphaGo to human capacity, then my money would be on the human being a superior player.
ACM elects Cherri Pancake as president
France convicted 12 pro-Palestine activists for wearing "Boycott Israel" T-shirts.

Azhar Ahmed, a British Muslim, was charged with treason, and ordered to pay a fine and complete community service because of a Facebook post he made wishing "All soldiers should DIE & go to HELL"

Herve Eon was convicted in France for insulting former French President Nicolas Sarkozy by holding a sign that said “get lost, jerk”

And, despite your narrow definition, I posit that all of these are thought crimes in the common parlance, and even to your narrow definition, the first example showcases the assumption that being pro-Palestine is automatically anti-semitic, whether or not it actually is.
What a shit headline.

The former president of the US branch of the world's largest synthetic diamond producer once told me personally, that she expected their market to get destroyed once De Beers started to shift focus over to synthetics. They had the head start but didn't dare undercut the cartel that much.

This is just De Beers moving forward on that roadmap which has involved the shutdown of mines and price fixing to keep the price of synthetics and natural diamonds propped up. They've done a very good job of keeping synthetics within 80% or so the price of a natural diamond.
This is why I said, “To save us both time and aggravation please keep the actual definition of “thought crime” in mind, and don’t conflate it with something people actually did.“

Thought crime = the thought itself is a crime, i.e. simply having the thought. Expression is a totally separate thing, and using “thought crime” this way is just announcing that you didn’t actually read 1984.

Governments aren't crawling into people's heads just yet, but they are certainly willing to criminalize the communication of thought.

No shit. Communication has been subject to government intervention and overreach since th dawn of recorded history. The 1st Ammendment in the US was created for a reason.
There is an incentive that people often forget when it comes to drugs vs. lifestyle interventions, which is patient compliance. If a drug is < $50/mo out of pocket, patient compliance is very high. However, prescribed lifestyle and diet changes have very low compliance. If a doctor wants their patients to get better or at least feel better, they'll end up prescribing drugs to a lot of them because most of them aren't going to stick to a dietary change.

The closest things I can think of are my own React/Redux links list [0] and Tim Arney's React FAQ page [1].

The React community is constantly coming up with new ideas, such as the rise in interest in "render props" over the last year or so. But, just because someone has an idea doesn't mean you have to immediately adopt it yourself.

To your Eureka effect list (all good and they've helped me as well), I would add:

* sleeping on it — I can't count how many times I would dream up solutions and implement them the next day. Knew an old Vietnamese electronic tech in the film industry who experienced this regularly while debugging complex lighting ballasts

* alcohol — completely subjective. I find up to a point it can break down a mental barrier or two. Sometimes so can a bloody ugly hangover. Then again, in the second case you might be putting the actual work off for another day or so...

* heavier exercise — a good run, or strength routine in the morning does more to clear my head and prepare me for a day than anything else I've tried. Similarly has a mentally rejuvenating effect like walking when you splice it in between other work— only it tends to be more of a 'shock to the system' method like a little too much indulgence in the former point.

Seriously, if you don’t know what something means, don’t use the the damned phrase.

“For insulting” “For wearing” are not thought crimes. A handy rule to detect a thought crime is this: unless someone was jailed just for thinking it wasn’t a thought crime.

Please, actually read 1984.
The big advantages are ease and flexibility.

Ease: there's no TSA security before boarding, so (from a passenger perspective) you just climb in to the plane and take off, similar to hopping into a car.

Flexibility: you don't have to worry about airline schedules. When your meeting is over you just hop into the plane and fly to the next destination.

Especially when traveling to/from non-major airports (where there may only be 1-2 flights/day) or small cities (which may only have a municipal airport) there can be huge time savings from using a private plane.

(Source: I've tagged along when university administrators flew to a Reagents meeting. It was a propeller plane and what would have been a 2-hour drive was a 15-20 minute flight. I'm not a pilot so I don't know how much paperwork was involved nor how much lead time the pilots had before we told them we were ready to leave.)

What's vague about GDPR? What's vague about its scope? It's all clearly laid out.
> "The journalist was reportedly found by his wife bleeding at the entrance to his block of flats, shot several times in the back, and died in an ambulance.

He'll be in the doghouse for a while after this.
> [a] Right To Privacy is that it violates "free speech"

Copyright is settled law that definitely limits the kinds of speech people can engage in.

Couldn't you construct a right to privacy by first saying an individual has an automatic ownership right to certain kinds of personal data [1], and that data can't be used without an appropriately constructed license [2]?

[1] You might be able make this strong and compatible with the First Amendment, by treating machine-collected and person-collected data differently. A machine has no First Amendment right to speak about what it knows, while a person does.

[2] The "appropriately constructed license" requirements could include GDPR-like definitions of consent.
The problem could be fixed by asking doctors to put their diagnosis into the machine before the machine reveals what it thinks. Then, a simple Bayesian calculation could be performed based on the historical performance of that algorithm, all doctors, and that specific doctor, leading to a final number that would be far more accurate. All of the thinking would happen before the device polluted the doctor's cognitve biases.

European countries don’t typically have American-style free speech, no. People can and do get punished with fines and jail time in England for “insulting” various religions, for example.

Taking such arguments all the way to the end, crime becomes only a theoretical construct that can never be practiced, i.g., the safe wasn't strong enough to withstand the explosion: the owner must not have wanted to protect the valuables within enough; someone gets killed: that individual didn't expend enough time and effort to hire sufficient body guards or invest in sufficient bullet-proof attire; a woman is raped: if she had fought back more, had known judo, had been carrying a 12-gauge pump shotgun, it would not have happened.

And this completely ignores the difference in scale between a single person looking through a single window and the aggregate data of millions upon millions of human beings.
Don't you have in US strict laws about medical data, so medical data != personal private data
I find interesting the "classification" of those cookies:

Necessary (31)

Preferences (15)

Statistics (63)

Marketing (356)

Unclassified (145)

Setting aside GDPR and any related privacy concerns, the numbers are IMHO impressive, and probably a good representation of how much on a site is "content" (Necessary+Preferences) and how much is "overlays" (all the rest).

Of course the big question are the "Unclassified" ones, particularly because they are described as "in the process of classifying", I mean, you add stuff to your site before deciding what they are? (it's not like 1 or 2 added recently, it's 145 of them).
My doctor can't share information even if he has collected it about me.

Release notes for Groovy 2.5
I'm surprised Pearl doesn't mention reinforcement learning once in this essay. This domain is where Pearl-style causal reasoning frameworks most closely meets data-driven statistical machine learning methods. Methods such have Dyna (link below) can be seen as reinforcement learning with some degree of "reasoning" about future consequences of actions. I suspect that there is more work to be done in embedding causal methods into planning, though it's pretty clear that a lot of progress is being made in domains such as Atari.

There are three reasons in addition:

1. Insulating himself from future lawsuits. Judges look very favourably towards corporations that try to work with regulators before a crisis.

2. Legislating a fix reduces market demand for a technical fix. Imagine a world where a competitive platform to the internet / the web arises. In such a case if the public feels safe because of legislation then they're less likely to abandon the previous web.

3. Realistically speaking any action that would be devastating for Salesforce would be devastating for the US economy / intelligence apparatus; so either way there is going to be some measure of tracking for some amount of time. The real issue that Saleforce needs to handle is to ensure that it's ahead of its competitors and to do that it needs to see where the regulatory environment is going and plan its strategy around that.
It generally comes down to when you started. “One account” was the answer for a long time; these days AWS is nudging us towards thebuse if Organizations. I’ve seen separate accounts per project, per team, and per engineer.
AWS/GCP/Azure bandwidth is already incredibly overpriced. You can easily find $0.005/GB and less from other providers, if you’re only interested in server hosting.

For many applications, you can host servers elsewhere while using AWS for S3, DynamoDB, etc.

With an interchangeable lens camera, a lens cap with a hole drilled in the center is a cheap approach. There are "precision" pre-drilled lens caps available for purchase. Machining provides a potentially wider angle of view, but with a digital sensor this isnt likely to be as much of an issue as with film...even at the high end, medium format digital backs currently top out at 645 format while 6x17 is not unusual for 120 film systems.
If a person had a coworker who thought "well I could get a 40% pay increase if I get <person> fired", then that person should consider that coworker an enemy.

Fortunately, the world does not revolve around game-theory and most other parties with whom we choose to associate, will at least consider and value our interests. Enemies do not do so, or value our interests at something close to zero; thus their calculus: "worst for you, best for them".
To be fair, BPF/eBPF is far more designed for simple and obviously correct verification. For eBPF, it's 10 register, two address, but load store, so that on CISC and RISC platforms there's generally a 1 to 1 between eBPF asm and JITed ASM. So the in kernel JIT doesn't even need a register allocator. The code flow graph is constrained to be a DAG so you can solve the halting problem on programs. etc.

You're looking at at least a couple of orders of magnitude more work to get to the same level of correctness for a WebAssembly runtime.

I would guess most home internet users could be uniquely and instantly identified by their IP address. Google, Facebook, the NSA, Experian, Transunion, Equifax, no doubt many other entities could run this function: identify_home_user(1.2.3.4) and get your name, address, SSN, etc. Even if the identification is not unique, it probably narrows down to a married couple, rarely as many as 5-6 adults. That's pretty good ID from one number.
MIT AGI: Consciousness (Christof Koch)
I've read 1984, thanks. As I mentioned (in an edit) to my post; in the first case, they weren't convicted for wearing T-shirts, because wearing T-shirts is perfectly legal. They wee convicted because of the presumption of anti-semitism in the message on the T-shirts, which is neither obvious nor absolute.
We do agile, but also use Slack and email, and walking across the room. If your organization is actively discouraging communication within the team unless it goes through the PM, that's bizarre. On the other hand, if the PM is acting as a gatekeeper with customers, that's not unusual. The reality is that you can't have everyone on the team talking directly to the customer, for a whole host of good reasons.

Regarding decision-making, that can be a problem---some PMs and product owners are micromanagers, hamstringing their team. But they would be micro managers with or without agile.
