USA Today originally distributed their advertisements on paper without any user tracking. I don't see why advertising without tracking is so unthinkable today.
One of the problems of aircon is that it deposits the heat into the surrounding air, adding more heat in the process and increasing the temperature gradient. Denser cities also heat up much faster since they restrict air flow and replace for example trees or other areas that can buffer or reduce heat. So cooling a city gets harder as it grows denser. If you want to warm up your city, all of this is in your favor.
The book we're talking about discusses this. I went to the trouble of summarizing the claims, including one that addresses your point, in another comment. I don't think "half-ass" is a reasonable response to me here.
Joking aside, I have yet to find a site that isn't using the whole dark patterns book and then some to trick users to consent. Realy disappointing.
I am a US citizen who, until last week lived in France. I wasn’t protected by HIPAA in Europe. Interestingly, HIPAA is stronger than the protections provided by U.K. law. For example, practitioners in the U.K. actually use Skype for mental health consultations — which would be a huge HIPAA violation in the US.

Almost everyone agrees that there should be a column limit, but there is general disagreement about what that limit should be, exactly. There are plenty of sound arguments for 80 and as many for 100 or 120.
Hope ICANN has 10 million euros.
There are a lot of considerations around making sure that all parties have adequate representation and they're able to read the terms of the agreement or have it explained in their native language. So yes, I think all binding legal contracts should require either common person accessible language or require access to counsel to advise the person on what they're agreeing to. This would motivate companies to make terms that not only protect them but are also reasonably accessible to the people signing them. Right now they're only optimizing for their own protection.
Just curious, but what does the investors think when a company volentarly leaves the EU market because it is easier to simply ignore eu as a market then to comply to GDPR?
That's poking fun at a common contract clause called a severability clause[1]. The idea is that if one provision is held unenforceable (say, an unconscionable arbitration clause or limitation on damages), the rest of the agreement remains in force. These came about because some courts have found that the unenforceability of some clause in an agreement changed the bargain such that it wouldn't be fair to allow the rest of the agreement to remain in force.

>Aside from the limited water, there's the total dependence on air conditioning running headlong into the urban heat island and a warming climate.

> Where does having to know Linux come in if you're not developing on Linux?

If the job you're applying for indicates they're not using Linux, then it has nothing to do with it. If a company indicates the generic "cloud", in lieu of further constraining criteria, it's reasonable for them to assume the bulk use case (EC2 was the 2nd service launched on AWS, and there are millions of EC2 instances running; it's hardly a dying platform)
> NOTE: we delete all client data when they cancel already. And we don’t do any creepy marketing.

Do you inform your users what data you're collecting, why you're collecting it, and get their consent? Are you taking proper precautions with the expanded PII data (encrypting at rest for example)? You've basically covered the requirements.

> Yet needs to be sure they don’t end up giving the company to the EU because someone over there signs up on a marketing list.

What kind of FUD are people reading...if someone voluntarily gives you their email to sign up for a list that's fine. You just need to keep that they consented to receive what they agreed to. What you can't do is use that email for crap they didn't sign up to receive. Obviously normal unbsub rules apply, which in this case says forget that someone ever signed up.

I've used both. ARM emulation is slow, as you'd expect from a CPU emulation. The default, x86, is blazingly fast. Of course, this is assuming you remember to turn on virtualization features on your CPU.

The development of Quantum Field Theory is a good example where >10 people all collaborated to come up with a framework that integrated the viewpoints of multiple theorists with radically different approaches, rather than every new contributor forking a personalized version of the previous theory.

Consider, for example, the way Freeman Dyson combined the graphical approach of Feynmann with Schwinger's more formal methods.
American competitors aren't going to refuse to do business in the EU. They're going to comply with GDPR for EU customers, and in some cases across the board. I keep hearing how easy it is to comply. Then that's that, it's easy and there's money to be made, so US competitors will continue to be dominant as before.
Yes. I'm tired of people getting so excited about using such a sub-par language in X environment.

“Our robot had many features that still haven’t been duplicated today,” Fowler recalled. “We had an autonomous robot that could self navigate, plug itself in to recharge, speak, sing, play music, recite poetry, recognize commands and a bunch of other features. We programmed it to act as an alarm clock, security guard, entertainer and tutor for the kids. It was very advanced.

But when people asked us ‘What can it do?’ and we would list its capabilities, they would always scoff.
--

We see this cycle repeat over and over again in almost every area of tech, and so rarely do we learn from it. What Mr. Fowler failed to grasp was that people weren't interested in buying a robot that had 'features', they wanted one that provided utility.

At the end of the day their lack of utility made these robots toys - very expensive, klunky, difficult to use, and unreliable toys.

Heed me children - when building something, focus on utility over cool features. Solve a problem, and make it easy to use and the world will beat a path to your doorstep.
That isn’t about data protection— it’s actually the opposite, it’s about Euro banks sharing data with US authorities. Furthermore the unintended consequence of FATCA is that many Euro banks stopped allowing accounts from Americans because they didn’t want compliance risk. GDPR is having the same effect: US companies will refuse service to Europeans because of compliance risk.
For those who don't know them, Sam & Max use to maintain a French blog about "Python, Django, Git and Sex" they gave tips and good practices about those tools, and once in a while they would post about their sexual experience.

They now changed the blog motto to "Some code, and some sex". But the concept is the same: NSFW meme as a pictures for french technical blog posts.

0bin.net in itself is just the Python implementation of ZeroBin. ZeroBin in the first implementation of an client side encrypted pastebin, it was written in PHP by another french blogger: sebsauvage. https://github.com/sebsauvage/ZeroBin

The reason the french community is so active on this matter is because of multiple past french parliament bills equivalent to DMCA/Patriot Act in the 2010s.
This might be it for like a very small handful of malicious companies. More realistically they are companies who have very little market share in the EU and their attorneys are very risk-averse and tell them a simple opt-out with few billing hours creates the most ROI.

EU citizens should not be pissed off that second-order effects exist in the world. If they are, they need to take ECN 101/102 again and pay closer attention.

A USB-C Thunderbolt Display that delivers power over the cable and has a USB hub built into it. These exist, though they're expensive.

Or, an eGPU enclosure, which also delivers power over the cable and has a USB hub built into it. (You just need to plug a monitor into it.) These exist, and are surprisingly cheap if you buy them bundled with a graphics card.

Fair enough. I guess this is a case of something lost in translation. To me, bad marketing is when the marketing doesn't help sell the product. Deceptive marketing misleads the consumer as to what they're being enticed to purchase.

So most responses are things that you might to to be remembered in 1000 years, I'm going to take a different tack, things that will most likely not be undone in that time.

One of the first things we have to throw out is the reliance on people. You can't statistically rely on 10-12 generations of people to do the same thing that you intended today. Also it is very unlikely that any contract you make today will exist and be enforceable in 1000 years. This eliminates setting up trusts, preserves, buying land and doing something with it, or any other long term project. And anyways something like this will take a number of people to be successful, why should you get all of the credit?

Next lets talk about war. Unless the war wipes out a significant portion of the population, I'm talking WAY more then the 3% of the population WW2 killed, most of the damage done will either recover, or change to be mitigated.

So what's left? You could do something that changes maps. The scope of this is VERY large, like build an island large. But there are cases where enough labor has been put in to permanently divert rivers, not just a damn. Or build "natural" structures that wind and rain haven't destroyed yet

You could do something that changes humans place in the universe. Create a viable form of interstellar travel, find a way to represent a life without a body (computer sim?), or maybe change our planet (before we escape it) so it's not habitual for humans as we are now.

For me personally I think it's enough to contribute to science and knowledge as a whole. I recognize that even if I have a profound discovery, given enough time it will be taught to 12th graders, see calculus. It's really the collection of discoveries that lead to profound discoveries that are the real MVPs.
Hmm. My reading of PEP 8 on slices is that the spaces surrounding : in slices are optional, and used to implement the later rule "If operators with different priorities are used, consider adding whitespace around the operators with the lowest priority(ies). Use your own judgment; however, never use more than one space, and always have the same amount of whitespace on both sides of a binary operator."

This leads to the following difference between the PEP 8 recommendation and Black:

PEP 8 accepts both of these:

ham[lower+offset : upper+offset]
ham[lower + offset : upper + offset]

While Black just uses:

ham[lower + offset : upper + offset]

Also, this is one that PEP 8 doesn't have a example on, but I think this would be one of the cases in which the space wasn't necessary:

slice[a.b : c.d]

The "." operator binds so tightly in my mind that it doesn't need the spaces around the ":" to disambiguate. It's at the same precedence level as subscription and function call, and higher precedence than unary + and -.

After typing this all out, I think that it might be the case that the bigger difference is actually in how binary operators are treated. It looks like Black always puts whitespace around binary operators, which contradicts PEP 8's recommendation that you are allowed to vary spacing around binary operators to make precedence clear.

Since Black does allow for leaving in extraneous parentheses to make precedence clear, I wonder why it doesn't allow varying the space around binary operators as well? Of course, it should enforce that the spacing actually does match the precedence, and that the spacing is consistent within an expression. That would allow the following examples which PEP 8 lists as "Yes":

x = x*2 - 1
hypot2 = x*x + y*y
c = (a+b) * (a-b)

While right now Black rewrites them as follows, which PEP 8 lists as "No" (though my reading is that varying the spacing like this is optional, so the following could be accepted as well):

x = x * 2 - 1
hypot2 = x * x + y * y
c = (a + b) * (a - b)

So I love numbers as much as the next person and look forward to reviewing all of these responses in detail - particularly as they pertain to interest rates, inflation and so on. HOWEVER, has ANYONE looked at this guy's instagram and Facebook accounts? It's ez to find him under his full name. After perusing these accounts in which he surfs, skis, snowboards, hikes and climbs ALL OVER THE WORLD - I ALSO came across this gem of a bio for him as listed in Dental Economics: Principles of Practice Management: "Mike is also a recognizable face outside of dentistry in that he is a sponsored big mountain snowboarder (splitboarder) that travels the world climbing mountains while documenting his travels. During the past two seasons, he pioneered and summited multiple first descents in remote ranges in the US. When he’s not serving SPEA, practicing Orthodontics, or Splitboarding, he spends time with his wife Melissa and two Daughters, Elle and Emme."

For added fun, check out his insta: https://www.instagram.com/hukesnow/?hl=en

So. . . without going into ANY calculations - lifestyle is INSANE. No frugality in this household. No wonder his wife tries not to think about things. Perhaps, and this is a bold idea, he consider lowering his lifestyle a bit. As an athlete myself, these hobbies ARE EXPENSIVE!!!!!

SHAMEFUL!
The lovely and humbling thing about this it was written 3 decades ago and the examples still work.

I received an email from a website I don't remember signing up for, and have no clue what they do. After a few attempts I am able to log in. I go through menu after menu looking for the "permanently delete all my data" button only to find an FAQ that says

"Q: How do I delete my account?"

"A: Please get in touch with our Customer Services team if you have any worries or concerns. If something at {website} has troubled you, we'll be happy to help sort it out."

To their credit, the support chat person was very efficient in complying with my request.
While I know they are not recommending, recommending this, for everyone who does, this doesn’t get you off the hook at all unless you are a new site who has never had EU visitors. Also of course all the EU citizens in the US, GDPR would presumably still apply.
NVIDIA's developer-friendliness is mostly in the rearview mirror at this point after they went on a Jihad to destroy vendors selling GeForce-based Compute workstations and jacked up their prices to discourage anyone else from trying to do so.

Not necessarily. Most of my coworkers don't know my phone number, and they anyway know better than call after work hours. I also don't sync work e-mails to phone, my stuff isn't so important it can't wait until next morning.
Man if you could just stuff the endless stream of insults you might actually have a net positive effect for the global perspectives around GDPR.
It all depends on your investors and who your company's target audience is.

If I run a business putting up American flags on people's houses on patriotic holidays (an actual business in my neighborhood), then ignoring the EU market is an easy decision because I already was.

I would argue bad management is pretty easy spot if you have any reference point for good management; you don’t even have to be a manager. Sit down with a few employees and ask them a few questions. The effects of bad management are everywhere in an organization. Employees are frustrated, resentful, unheard, and happy to talk.

Programming is hard, too, and good code is a much subtler thing that requires an expert to give you any sense of.
Under Canadian Law (which you are subject to, according to your profile) and you're liable if you decide to snoop on a specific persons data, or misuse it in a way that they didn't intend. So, it doesn't seem to be completely your information.

Sure, Canadian laws in this area are very scattered and backwards. I wouldn't put that forward as a good thing though, or use it as a pretense to not bother protecting or managing your users PII.

Depends what you want to do with your drones, but 3.5k would be really low end. I think 5k is more realistic, and you're looking at 15-20k if you want high precision (rtk) drones.

On the other end, it's probably not just any plane for mapping, so cost could be higher. Plus the gimbal and sensor cost is going to be non negligible.

Airplanes have to fly higher though, and thus at lower resolutions. The newest satellites are also getting closer to what they do, and they obviously have better coverage, so the market is shrinking.
