That is incorrect. The iOS simulator is not a virtualized environment. It's not running it's own kernel etc, rather it's just a set of iOS libraries and frameworks built for x86 and a thin compatibility layer so that they run on macOS.

You can actually see your running iOS applications, and all of the iOS daemons etc show up as first class processes on you Mac if you run "ps".

iOS apps running in the simulator are not separate from the host OS at all - they're running on the host OS, just like any other process. Try killing "Springboard" from your Mac command line and watch what happens inside the simulator...

> A College student working on a side project with no revenue are treated the same as some massive multi-national.

Am I reading this wrong? If the college student creates just a simple page, he/she is already complaint with GDPR.

If the student starts collecting personal information, then they need to know what's allowed or not. There are already things that are not legal to do, GDPR just adds private information into that.

The treatment of privacy is one of issues where it's pretty much impossible for individual protect from, GDPR tilts the scale in favor of individuals.

From Wikipedia:

"In July 2014 The World Bank reported that the per kilometer cost of California's high-speed rail system was $56 million, more than double the average cost of $17–21 million per km of high speed rail in China and more than the $25–39 million per km average for similar projects in Europe."

"As of May 2015, both construction packages awarded have come in significantly under staff estimates."

"In December 2016, an internal-use-only draft risk assessment produced by the Federal Railroad Administration was delivered to the California Rail Authority which warned that the ICS (Merced-Bakersfield) segment could cost as much as $9.5 billion instead of the $6.4 billion originally budgeted"

And many compounds, like glass, aren't likely to decompose even though they are plentiful in the environment.

A) It covers behaviour towards the citizens (ie passport carrying members) of the EU. It basically says: "please do not be evil" - OK it says a lot more but I think you get the idea.

B) It does cover a lot of ground but it is written in pretty accessible language for such a large and complex subject.

C) The possible maximum penalties are set at a level that will not destroy a serial transgressor but should hopefully deter anyone from becoming such a beast in the first place.

Overall, GDPR is really a manifesto for how people should be treated in the burgeoning data economy. I still find it hard to understand how such a reasonable and farsighted set of regs came to be designed in the first place. As a citizen of the UK, at least I am reasonably certain that the GDPR will stay on the local statute books post Brexit because to contemplate otherwise is economic suicide.

It's very formally specified. The key object of study in Pearl-style causal inference is a structural causal model. A structural causal model is composed as equations like the following:

Y = f(X, Z, U)

Here, X and Z are observed inputs, other random variables in your system. U is unobserved. In other words, "Y is computed by a deterministic function which takes an unknown random input."

Then, P(Y = 1 | do(X=1, Z=2)) is defined as P(f(1,2, U) = 1).

Two points.

It's not so bad! And it could be really bad!

The not so bad case. The 6.9 Loma Prieta 1989 quake killed 63 people. 42 of those deaths were on the highway collapse. And since then we reinforced the highways and any building touched by construction in the last 30 years was seismically upgraded. Lots of property damage, but we've already paid for that with insurance and taxes. Btw SF's many wood frame buildings that lean against each other do quite well.

Magnitude | 30 year chance of one or more

7 51%
7.5 20%
8 4%

From:

https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2015/3009/pdf/fs2015-3009.pdf

The bad news is the 4% chance event. An 8 or (omg!) 9.0 earthquake. There are few buildings that would survive, some hospitals and data centers that are built to very high standards. (Like the datacenter at 365 Main for example, cool video here [1] about how that works. [2]).

Everything else is likely to be in really bad shape, with thousands of deaths and whole blocks leveled. Current standards don't go that high because it would be much too expensive. Imagine spending $5 million on every house and office building in San Francisco.

The other it-might-be-really-bad direction is that NY Times story below [3] points out that we don't really know how our new skyscrapers will behave even in 7.0 earthquakes, it seems quite possible that a few could fall over and wreck 2-3 blocks of other buildings.

Keep in mind that about 2,500 people die in car accidents every year in California. And that the 4% 8.0+ event only happens every 825 years.

So... not so bad! Could be really bad!

You don't need to know people who "take more than a few" for them to actually exist. At this point, the opiate problem in the US is pretty much an established fact and most certainly does not boil down to people just washing their spares down the drain.
The easiest and cheapest answer is the status-quo, which is ambiguity on whether you're compliant with GDPR, so it's completely logical they would just block access.

Remember how government agencies and people would literally advise everyone to have an emergency plan, first aid kits, flashlights, and other preparedness? It was considered wise and rational to be prepared for disasters.

Yet today some people (seemingly largely on the left, although I'm on the left and I don't share this) seem to take pride in their reliance on society to continue to function no matter what happens. They look at those who have different opinions as to the level of preparedness one should have, and what types of situations one should prepare for, with contempt.

Does that really make sense? The future is uncertain. Many people on the left believe in climate change. We talk about how climate change is a serious and potentially existential threat. It could lead to unexpected disastrous storms like Katrina. In theory someone who practices the most "crazy" form of prepping could have been better prepared for that situation than someone who simply relied on "society" which definitely let everyone down in Katrina and cost many people their lives.

Are there people who overdo prepping? In my personal opinion, yes. But they don't need my approval, and I'm not taking responsibility for their safety and security if something horrible happens. What right do I or anyone else have to tell them they're doing something wrong by being what I consider over-prepared? How can we be of the perspective of live and let live for so many lifestyles and activities, but then act like these people are contemptible fools for having different opinions about likelihoods of disasters?
Wow. That's a pretty interesting attitude to take. The consensus here among the M&A crowd is that either fintech, medtech or social media will be the verticals where one or more examples will be made. Best to hope none of your users complains to regulators.

>every Tuesday at 10am-11am, my neighborhood will receive its weekly grocery shipments

I view this as a constraint of the technology / infra and a temporary workaround.

In the same way that scheduled tv programming (structuring your day around prerecorded media) seems absurd, surely so will this ("back in my day, we had to wait until the groceries were ready for us!")

I feel Amazon would work around this constraint asks aim directly for on demand, regardless of increased difficulty. They aren't in the business of making the customer work for them. It would be a step bbw ok compared to car boot/trunk initiatives etc.
And this is exactly what GDPR does, you then have an option to opt-in.

It depends on the law. In the case of the GDPR, it does apply despite the person not being physically in the EU.

Clearly, the EU can't enforce or even make laws that apply globally. If you don't have a presence in the EU the GDPR does not apply to you, period. And the GDPR doesn't apply to EU citizens outside the EU, period.

But this thread and others just show how people will continually lie when it comes to the politics of GDPR. And when they don't want to lie, they partake in whataboutism. Even EU bureaucrats seem to be willing to partake in at least promoting the idea that it's a global law for their political agenda, when they know it's not.

I don't know why people continue to lie about the jurisdiction of this law, when everybody here knows it's not true.
Note that ground-dwelling doesn't necessarily mean flightless. The article in Cell only says they were "non-arboreal" and hardly mentions flight.
I mean, they don't have a point. Even if you accept obscurantism as existent and harmful, and academic philosophical consideration a violation of exploit in exploit/explore, and normative ethics as confusing regarding discussion in social maturity, and descriptive ethics as confusing regarding discussions of philosophy of law or politics or government, the unfortunate perception that philosophy is divorced from reality comes from a lack of education in academic philosophy as a field and practice, and potentially a socially/politically condoned trend of publishing any "10 step" pop-philosophy book that makes the advertising/economy/adult-education/media engine keep humming.
And there's a lot of room for choosing the fine/punishment. There should be some rules, i.e. fines for intentionally violating privacy of millions of people should be very different from fines for unintentional violation of privacy of 10 people.
I think this is a very misleading headline. 49 percent support the high speed rail project in this poll, based on a neutrally worded question. The 31% figure comes from a leading question that starts with "The latest estimates for California’s high-speed rail project are that it will cost up to $77 billion dollars
and will be finished in 2033. This estimate is nearly twice as much as the original estimated cost."

> After studying the ambiguous number blocks for hours, the discovery is made that these fragments are compatible DNA strands which have been recovered from different worlds all over the galaxy.

This would ultimately explain why so many races are humanoid.

As someone who has had frequent kidney stones, I have found that many painkiller prescriptions are unnecessary. Kidney stones are more painful than childbirth and I’ve been hospitalized for then before. But prescription painkillers rarely get rid of the pain.

People seem to be reluctant to mix medications for fear of drug interactions. They want a strong dose of one substance.

But nothing has worked for me better than mixing acetaminophen with ibuprofen or with naproxen. All are cheap, available over the counter, and have fewer side effects than prescription pain killers.

I also find that, after the initial pain subsides, I can more quickly reduce the dosage of these drugs than I could with prescription painkillers.

By all means, use oxy if you need it. But please consider trying alternatives first so you can avoid addiction.

I mostly like GDPR. Ability to opt-in and being of charge of your data, i.e. removing it from a service if you want to, and the right to export and move it to another service are great and long due.

What I don't like is that it's a principle based regulation and thus it can be applied arbitrarily and selectively.

GDPR is not about security but about privacy and data access protection. In fact security is mostly on paper: requires that you document the data and procedures, but doesn't require you to upgrade your security. So the effort for the one has little to do with effort for the other.
