The GDPR defines multiple legal grounds on which you are allowed to process personal data (such as collecting an email address for contacting). Consent is only one legal ground. Another one is "legitimate interest", which a lot of salespeople will use in order to find prospects. However the recipient is allowed to say "not interested, don't contact me again" and you'll have to comply.

Furthermore the GDPR does not apply to small-scale, ad-hoc, personal situations. Contacting a CEO as a customer is fine. Your personal phone's address book is fine. So is keeping a list of attendees of your birthday party. But wearing a camera on your body all day and recording everything and running face recognition on the video, even if you do it for personal reasons, is not ok.

Perhaps they want to eat better and more often than most other people, and the party line doesn't really factor into that?
I always felt like negative bases are just strange enough, yet just practical enough, that they almost could have arisen as a system of numbers in a natural language. For example, phrasing 11 as 191, “one more than 90 less than 100”, would be unusual for such a small number but definitely sounds “naturalistic”, like phrasing 1990 as “a thousand, a hundred less than a thousand, ten less than a hundred” in Roman numerals, 99 as “four-twenty ten-nine” in French, or 9 as “five four” in Khmer.
Well, no. Mercedes had to pull Drive Pilot (notice the name...) ads that actually claimed, unlike Tesla, to be self-driving... about a system significantly underperforming Tesla’s.

Tesla is outlier mostly in the disproportionate amount of flak it takes.

There is an even greater need to empirically prove the "obvious" and "self-evident" as those are the very things no one sufficiently questions.
hope it will went back quickly :(.
And if you push this logic to its extreme we would have to take children away from under achieving families to break the reproduction of under achievement cycle. Will probably work but not exactly desirable.
You meant

char * buf = malloc(size);

You dropped an asterisk. Since changing pointers returned by malloc() is a bad idea, I'd make it:

char * const buf = malloc(size);
You haven't answered his question.

Is there still an achievement gap between these kids and white kids at similar high-involvement charter schools?

> It then makes sense to question if the gap might re-emerge if similar methods were applied to all students, does it not?

No, it doesn't make any sense. What do you think actually causes the gap? Is it some magical force inherent in white children?

They've shown they can eliminate the gap by addressing environmental issues like nutrition and providing more school time. That would indicate to a logical person that the gap is caused or at least correlated with precisely these deficiencies that were corrected. If other kids don't experience these deficiencies what would make you think more nutrition or more school time could increase their performance?
So now it just tries to keep track of who's where and when. If someone leaves by the school-gates during classes, their gait is checked to see if it kinda-sorta matches any student gait and if it does, whoop-whoop-whoop, ring the alarm!

This. I'm long out of college and after thinking about starting a small blog for years I finally started one on github pages. Not to post super sophisticated articles showing how cool I am, but posts about weird problems or pitfalls that couldn't be solved through some googling. I try to describe the problem and failed approaches too, so should anyone ever have the same problem I hope I dropped enough keywords to help them find it.

The worst part is how so much gets censored on HN. I've seen dozens of stories that are negative of Google get flagged and removed.

Perhaps, if humans are mostly fungible commodities that respond uniformly to inputs. And RIP if you dare suggest the inverse: subsidizing the reproduction of high achievers.

Your frontpage is junkfree after you unfollowed all the defaults and blocked the ads. After that, it's literally empty.

Now follow subs on topics you are interested in. I do it that way and I only have to unfollow in very few cases due to a lack of moderation or an usergrowth that brings in the masses.

I also avoid threads that get discovered by an audience beyond the initial subreddit it was posted in. That's easy to notice as conversation immediately stops and mindless chain commenters make karma rain over each other.
Yes, there is. Implementation defined means that a conforming implementation _must_ document its behavior.

That means that programmers don’t have to use trial and error to figure out how the compiler behaves and don’t have to _hope_ they found all the corner cases.
Yes Google (and many others) massage the media landscape for favourable news. This has been going on for many years now. After all, Google is a company specializing in influencing public opinion. Though "sponsored content" (hidden ads) are required by policy or even law to be marked as such. At least the (incredibly uninspired) Google image brochure in this week's Spiegel (large German politics weekly similar to Newsweek and Time magazine) was.

Time to recheck IT trends/fads as well. Think about IT coverage in this decade, or even before that: cloud (kubernetes being portrayed as the best thing since sliced bread), web frameworks (where React seems to have won this round of publicity warfare though since Fakebook is also a media powerhouse), the vulgar "HTML5 rocks" campaign to take HTML standards away from W3C for better or worse (so that browsers can have things such as geolocation, and for Chrome dominance), making it appear a grassroots effort, staged questions/answers on StackOverflow, voting rings to hide dissenting opinions, ...

I agree it's inevitable that someone ill intentioned use ML + drone to create deadly weapons, I don't understand why USA is doing it, nor what are they trying to accomplish like that.

Drone strick is already a main argument in terrorist propaganda, I don't see how increasing the number of attacks and decreasing human intervention is going to help that.

"That is quite a bit more than high-quality schooling." Yeah, it sounds almost like European-level. Seriously, nothing mentioned there should strike as exceptional in a rich country.

"And does the touted "closing" of the black-white achievement gap persist if white students receive the same treatment?"

That would be surprising, seeing how many other biased factors there are to handicap these kids. Even pre-natal conditions are a factor there! (Uneducated and poor women are more likely to smoke while pregnant)

There's a noxious odour of grievance emanating from your post.
Another, better, response to your argument. Initializing an array of structs with = {0} does NOT tell the compiler that zeroing the entire contiguous chunk of memory matters - only that each struct should be zeroed. While memset( (void*)buf, 0, len) does tell the compiler that the entire contiguous memory chunk must be zeroed, which is what is intended.

Either you are misunderstanding, or you are being intentionally obtuse.
On aggregate, the students receiving those perks are generally wealthy, and generally white.

Of course there are wealthy black students, and poor white students, but the achievement gap isn't based in particulars, but in aggregates and statistics.

This is a think I wish more people understood: There is no equality of chances. Unless you give every kid the same standardized education and childhood experience, which implies a society no one wants.

The only alternative is to recognize the people who start at a disadvantage and offer them compensation for that.
Emergency braking is designed to lessen the impact, not prevent crash. See manual. This is mostly for avoiding crashes into a car that suddenly stops in front of you, I.e. in lower speed city traffic and jams. For this, detection within a few meters is all you need - ultrasound sensors might do. If the velocity delta is 120km/h, you’re not going to meaningfully slow down when already this close.

Why do you go straight to the absurd?

It is a fair question.
They might not receive it for free, but they do receive it. Thus in the end there's still a gap.

It may be, but is not necessarily “consequently”. That Volvo is not cool to write about plays a role. You don’t read about boring daily crashes either.
This is not at all comparable to what the OP submitted and would be at least a many thousands of lines worth of effort.

What watchman is doing is doing inotify-as-a-service for you, in order for any program to use the Linux inotify API it needs to be running constantly so it can keep consuming events from the kernel, and in the case of the use case watchman fulfills, maintain an internal database of how the current state differs from various times in the past.

There's lots of very nasty edge cases you need to deal with. E.g. if you don't consume the kernel events fast enough (or the buffer is too small) new events will be dropped.

You'll get told about this by the kernel, but now the only way to re-build your in-memory representation to match reality is to recursively walk the FS with readdir(), stat() etc, but at the same time consume new inotify events and update your in-memory structures while doing both.

Needless to say this is a lot more complex than just using watchman off the shelf.

It's also pointless to optimize this area, watchman usually returns in 2-3 milliseconds even on huge trees, but because of bugs / misfeatures in the current git-side implementation it can take hundreds of milliseconds until we make sense of all of that. This is because git doesn't really "know" about watchman/inotify, it just uses it as a replacement for walking the FS, but on big repositories other stuff can still be expensive.

To OP: I highly encourage you to submit this to the Git mailing list for comment. I've been involved in this area (helped write the Perl hook) and there's people who'd be interested in having this be e.g. a part of git's contrib/ directory so it can be compiled with git.
Frankly, I don't really collect user data that isn't effectively public... I've run a telnet BBS and thinking of throwing it up again, and like most developers have a few ideas on creating something. I don't do metrics tracking, but might throw up something like google analytics, or even adds in a game/web-app.

In the end, I frankly don't even like using passwords, I'd rather just have users use SSO from one of so many provider options. One of my criticisms early on of FB is they didn't have an early option to JUST get the real name and email address of their users. That's all most of these identity providers should give... enough to shoot a notification email and know the name of the person.

In the end though, who knows... working on something now, I may comply as much as possible just to be nice. Exported data will only have hashed IDs of "friend" accounts, with everything else effectively public.

I generally try to do the right thing in what I do always. It gets harder in a politically charged society at large.

Could they? Only with the consent of the parents.

You are just saying "Hold up hold up. Not those bureaucrats. You should be forced to listen to these other bureaucrats instead".
Google search or guess. Jeff Bezos email is jeff@amazon.com if I recall correctly.

I also emailed Paul Graham 3 years ago thanking him for one his blogs that ironically led me to not pursuing the startup path and he responded to it.
Nice piece, but let me defend the headlines.
Did Engelbart envision the computer mouse? Yes. Is he highly regarded as a public personality for that? Yes.

Hoping that a headline could convey the complexity you need an entire section of a blog post to explain in a complex way is never a good critique of journalism.

For that you need to run a special feature, or you promote a book. You can't expect the New York Times to illustrate the true nature of Doug Engelbart on the first three lines of his obituary.

Same applies for every scientist or "big mind" kind of person.

Well, I would say that your #1 reason is quite untrue. I can't speak for everyone, but I rarely browse Reddit on a computer. The only reason to do so is because I want to write a long response. Normally I'm browsing from an app so I can lay on the couch and watch TV while I'm doing it.

#2 could be true, but it might not be.

Regarding the apps, I paid for BaconReader on Android over 6 years ago and still use it. It works fine for me. I have no desire to switch to the official app.
I wish they spent more on it but made it less of a a focus in their ideological battles.

That's wishful thinking, but if only we could all agree on doing what is demonstrably better for the kids and their future, that would be great...
When I was in 4th grade in the '80s, I wrote a letter to the CEO of Atari. I was a stockholder(maybe 5 shares, ha), and I was concerned that Atari could do a few things to make their games more enjoyable. I received a really nice letter in return that addressed my concerns, and a bunch of promotional material was included. In retrospect I wish I had written more letters and perhaps built up correspondence with someone high profile.
It's true social media such as reddit attracts marketing, but that doesn't mean everything that could be marketing is. The obvious problem with claims of invisible marketing is that they're impossible to disprove. Also, if shilling were nearly as prevalent as the original commenter asserted it couldn't be kept such a secret.

There may be real shilling on occasion, but the damage to constructive discourse from unverifiable shilling accusations seems greater than whatever the benefits of constant vigilance are supposed to be.

If marketing were really so seamless and even valuable, it would remind me of xkcd 810: https://m.xkcd.com/810/
Yeah, they're covered for their offspring. But we have to make them see that investing in everyone's future is a net gain.

Then we obviously just have the small problem that you can only be obscenely wealthy if you have a lot more wealth than the average person. Elevate a large number of people, and the über-wealthy people's relative wealth go down.

Regrettably, they would apparently rather have a violent uprising and be forced to help other people, than do it voluntarily.

Germany is a welfare state and yet children from poor parents perform worse in school.
Deploying your Phoenix app to Digital Ocean for beginners
When reading about alternative school systems, many publications show really improved performances by students, but many of these studies suffer of the same bias: teachers who volunteer to teach differently, and parents who volunteer their kids to try a new approaches, are usually the main cause of good metrics.

Indeed, the challenge is to get even mediocre teachers to be able to teach better. We lack even mediocre teachers, so making a better system only for good teachers is not a solution.
I was fortunate enough to meet Doug Engelbart at a Hypertext conference years ago, where he was a keynote speaker. Very friendly and soft spoken man. From the his keynote, I got the distinct impression that he was disappointed and a little saddened that we had not progressed further than we have. His vision of augmenting the human intellect through the use of computers was both bold and hopeful, but instead we are barraged by click-bait, fake news, trolls, and social networking sites carefully engineered to keep us hooked—not much of an augmentation.
How is spending twice as long at school correcting a deficiency? Are you sure you understand what a deficiency is? If spending twice as long at school can improve the results of the poor black students in this study, why shouldn't it do the same for white students? If it does, what happens to the achievement gap? How is this not a reasonable question? And do you really think being provided free medical care, dental care, mental health care, etc. is not qualitatively different than receiving the same from the fruit of the parents' labor?
The local people that must utilize the local schools of course.

The US varies to a great degree from the top 10 states to the bottom 10 states, economically. Massachusetts is at $75,000+ GDP per capita, on par with Norway. Mississippi at the bottom is at $37,000, half that of New York, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts. The gulf isn't nearly as wide as that of the EU ($70k Ireland vs $13k Croatia), however it's still a considerable difference.

How would one propose the Federal Government's massive bureaucracy manage such wide variances in prosperity when it comes to states & counties? Maybe a dozen large school system zones, each semi-locally managed, encompassing several states. Otherwise, the best option is for states and counties to retain large amounts of control over local education.
