While I think it may be easy to argue that use of Matomo is legitimate for the purposes of improving your service (and as a corollary, this can legitimately be outsourced), I think it is a stretch to conclude that it is legitimate for the third party to assemble a dossier of an individual by tracking them across multiple sites for which analytics are outsourced to the third party.

This seems obvious since the third party is not going to expose details about the data subjects use of the other sites so it cannot be of legitimate interest to the primary controller. If they did share such data with the primary controller, the privacy violation is so egregious it cannot hope to pass a balancing test to be considered legitimate.

So while something like piwik may be allowed to be opt out, I think google may be treading on thin ice.
>Citizenship doesn't affect things. Place of residence does

This depends. E.g. IRS and tax laws that apply if you're a US citizen regardless of residence.

But that's beside the point, because when the parent said UK/EU citizen above, he implied residence as well, which is the case for 95% of them, he wasn't addressing every specific case.
Well, no one is accusing Google of originality.
It's interesting that the pattern of human communication where things are just one misheard statement/command away from occurring has been well modeled in these devices.

Does having the device programmed to make mistakes make it more comfortable to use, because we know humans are infallible too.
A bit of honest feedback from a potential customer. I want to know more about your testers. "rigorous training" doesn't tell me enough. Also - When i look at the signup form to become a tester it doesn't tell me what i'm going to have to do either. Finally, the link to your T&C on register doesn't work - and i don't see it in your footer - or a privacy policy anywhere. I like the site design - nice and clean and welcoming. Good luck!

The tool allows one to manipulate kernel objects more or less 1:1, so documentation and help of 'ip' and 'tc' is adequate enough if you know what those kernel objects are and how they behave, but it won't help if you don't know anything about linux networking or traffic shaping in the first place.

>Nobody but technically inclined users care that much about battery life anymore.

That is very far from the truth. Just look at the scramble around power outlets in all sorts of public places from cafes to trains. People are desperate to recharge their phones.

Stories of phones running out of battery are now as much part of folklore as not having coins for payphones was a few decades back.

Go to any Android or iOS support forum and you will find that battery draining questions are a major category. And it's plain to see that it isn't just techies asking these questions.

Battery is also _the_ limiting factor for the tasks phones are suitable for. CPUs, especially on iPhones, are capable of so much more than what the battery allows.
IANAL but I'm not sure that clause applies to this case. From the article it wasn't a Youtube executive who used the footage but someone from Google's research division.

Also that clause appears to apply to Youtube using content from the site to promote Youtube's service(s) and not for content entirely unrelated to Youtube but to Google's wider interests.
The GDPR specifically says that EULA provisions have no effect on the validity of the regulation. Quoting from article 7 [1]:

If the data subject’s consent is given in the context of a written declaration which also concerns other matters, the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. Any part of such a declaration which constitutes an infringement of this Regulation shall not be binding.

Fortunately, not in this particular case - it's just a question of incompatibility between the two APIs. If you create an alias by ifconfig eth0:0, it will be visible by ifconfig. If you add a NIC:n entry to /etc/network/interfaces, ifconfig will display it. I don't believe this API will ever get obsoleted as millions of systems use it that way.

> It wasn't ridiculed by myself, or by anyone I knew.

How exactly does this contribute to the discussion,

To counter your point, my friends were blackberry fanatics, they just laughed when they saw the iphone without a physical keyboard and said this will never work.
It's a terrible input mechanism for general usage. It's a fantastic input mechanism when you don't have another one handy, open and ready to use. E.g. I use Alexa to trigger my Harmony hub to turn on the TV and switch to the right input with one command, instead of figuring where the hell someone left the remote or digging my phone out and open and app. It's faster, and easier. If a phone call comes in, I don't need to find the remote or the app to mute or pause what's on TV, I just ask for it and it happens. If my hands are full I can still turn the light that I forgot about off on my way to bed.

The "failure" the first time around was that people wanted it to be the main interface, instead of accepting that where it works is as an ubiquitous auxiliary interface that's available everywhere in the house, rather than trying to compete with a keyboard when you're right in front of said keyboard.

Voice competes by working at a distance, even when your hands are not free.

It will never replace a keyboard, as there are so many instances where speaking commands is impractical, but it doesn't need to replace a keyboard to be useful.

Austrian data privacy activist takes aim at 'forced consent'
But the Autopilot has cameras, and therefore it has 3+1D
data (2D frames, 1D inferred depth from stereo or
training, 1D time from frame diffs).

When making safety-critical real-time systems, we prize simplicity as simple code has fewer bugs and can be audited more thoroughly.

I mean _really_ simple - to deploy an airbag, early systems were as simple as checking the accelerometer works at startup, then firing the airbag if the acceleration passes a threshold consistent with a crash.

If your safety system relies on multiple cameras, stereo vision, camera motion tracking, and a neural network, it ain't simple.

That's why IMHO every self-driving car needs LIDAR - you need to be able to detect the firetruck or highway divider in from of you without relying on a million lines of code.
> in many comments given in forums, it's been stated that the people in BCN are less warm than the people living in Madrid. I do not know the reason of that. Would that have an adverse impact on my life as a foreign person willing to go to Spain?

In my experience, both cities are plenty of people that didn't grow up there, and plenty of foreigners. Most of the folks you'll interact with will be genuinely welcoming and willing to help you feel like home.

You'd totally make more money in UK, but I think that the quality of life you can get with nice CS-related job in Madrid/Barcelona is definitely worth trying.

Alexa has 4-5 joke responses to self destruct. E.g. "I'll start the countdown but only on the understanding you'll dramatically cancel it at the last second", and "3-2-1 Boom. Hmm that didn't quite work did it?" or something like that, and a few others.
Yes, it's not the people's fault, when there's a large video right there showing the car driving itself. The text makes it seem like it's just a "red tape" thing where autopilot is there like in the video but it just needs approval in your jurisdiction. If this marketing came from any other car company, you probably wouldn't be defending it.
Of course, and as was widely known (and mentioned when this subject came up) at the time, FORMAT C: would not have actually worked (on systems where C: was the boot volume) because OS/2 locked volumes that were in active use as filesystems, preventing them from being reformatted.

Why AI Will Bring an Explosion of New Jobs
You won't have enough resources for video encoding, most probably. Arria 10 FPGA has 67M bits of memory total (8.5M bytes), including one simulated with registers. As far as I remember, just storing 1920x1080 (HD) frame in 4:2:0 mode would require 4M bytes, half of memory. 4K would require 4 times as much resources.

You may do some on-line processing like running neural net on the video content, but that's about it. Don't expect anything super exciting from that chip.

Yet, it will bring joy to high frequency traders. The systems there do most of the work in FPGA, including UDP/TCP/IP packets processing and offload some work to CPU (broadcasts about network topology are handled on CPU, for example). They also would like to receive CPU computation results as fast as they can and this chip is exactly that.

I mean, if we are talking about teaching elementary school, then you don't need to be world class researcher to get them ready for next level. You need to like math and, imo, you need to like problem solving, you need to understand math instead of having it memorize etc.

However, you definitely don't need to be actual researcher. I would even argue that it will be more beneficial to study psychology, child development, child behavior etc then spending time doing serious math research.

In Japan there was an apology because a train left 20 seconds AHEAD of schedule:

This is not unusual:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44149791

Trains in Japan run very regularly, much more so than in other countries I've visited. Only yesterday I was on a Finnish train and it was delayed by 15 minutes, which lead to some confusion when it did turn up over whether it was the correct train.
Question - how can these potentially nefarious acts be mitigated, where I plug a device into my home network which listens/watches "periodically".

I guess naively I'm thinking some sort of light/display which says "Amazon is sending/retrieving data" - it would need to be from a third party to have integrity, and I suppose in order to actually allay the fears of the masses it would need to be plug-and-playable.

Does such a thing actually exist?

Back in the mid-to-late nineties, Federico Faggin, designer of Intel's seminal 4004 (and ancestor of the whole x86 lineage) co-founded a company called Starbridge Systems that aimed to construct and sell what they termed hypercomputers whose architecture was rapidly-reconfiguring FPGAs that an enabled a compile-to-hardware model.

Here's one of the few references to that project that I can now find online, a WIRED era piece with all the gushing nerd optimism of the pre-dot-com-bust: https://www.wired.com/1999/02/the-super-duper-hypercomputer/

I suppose this is where Intel is headed now with these first few tentative steps.

No one really knows why he left Google. Was he forced to leave silently with support for good optics around his departure by Google or he just left abruptly dropping everything he built till then on his own volition. Execs like him just don't drop everything and leave at once without a good transition plan and thinking things through. No one knows the real story. He had to step down from Essential for a valid reason which they can never disclose in all honesty. All we know is that, it has something to do with the reasons why he left Google. The real reasons for his departure is shrouded in secrecy and probably protected or kept a secret with a lot of legalease...

Edit: A quick google search says he left Google because of misconduct. Inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate.

It's nice that people still run exit nodes, but it's so expensive and dangerous that you cannot expect a satisfactory number of nodes to be run for moral reasons and not for monetary/surveillance ones.

Also since most of the nodes are run on VM instances, a few companies could potentially recover all the routing and keys from the servers RAM if they feel like it. They're not going to do it for the average joe, but things like the Patriot act and it's European equivalents make sure intelligence agencies can do it if they want.

You don't really need perfect biometrics for it to be useful, or even biometrics at all. A "my human just spoke in this room, and here's a signature of what the fleshbag said" broadcast from a microphone to let devices within a very short range to get confirmation of which person spoke if they picked up a command, coupled with pairing your speaker to your devices to give the notification from your mic more authority would already help substantially with most of the issues people have. It wouldn't stop a determined adversary, but for most people it's not a determined adversary that is the problem.

It doesn't even need to get good audio - just enough to give a bit of an indication that what the device picked up was me talking and not random noise and ideally some way to somewhat correlate it to the audio the device picked up to give it an indication it was me it heard. It'd also give you the option of setting the devices to require confirmation for certain types of orders if they were not confirmed by an authorised device, or if they were not confirmed by a device (so you could let people present give instructions but not some random joker on voice chat in your online game for example).

If we could get support for that into e.g. a watch, it'd be very much useful.

In a continuous system like racing, there are two more things to consider: prediction and relative motion. Avoiding something you can predict, or avoiding something which is moving much slower than 100+ km/h relative to you, isn't too difficult (I do it all the time on motorbikes and scooters). But this perception can fool you into thinking you have more control than you do - should something really unexpected occur, your reaction time will surprise you by being slower.

More proving your point, but from the article:

> The phone’s initial price was $699, the same as an iPhone viewed as a competitor. At that price, the company sold as few as 20,000 units across its website and third-party distribution partners, one of the people said. Last October, Essential lowered the price by $200, which boosted sales. The company has sold at least 150,000 to date, according to the person familiar with the company.

So that's 20,000 * $699 + 150,000 * $499 ~ $89M

I think people hold USDT:

1. For convenience, like if they're speculating in BTCUSD and their exchange uses Tether.

2. Deliberately, because they're breaking the law and they'd get caught if they tried to deposit their money in a regulated institution.

I doubt many people in the first category have thought much about the risks, or even know the difference between USD and USDT--if they had, then they'd probably use a different exchange. I'll bet there's a lot of them, though. I could imagine that people in the second category would consider the risk and still want USDT. A portfolio of half each BTC and USDT is probably less risky in some sense than all BTC. Even if the investment in USDT has negative alpha, it might improve your portfolio's Sharpe ratio, if the correlation between the risk that USDT collapses and the price of Bitcoin is small enough.
