To be fair, ICANN required WHOIS info and registrars could be sued or lose registrar status if they didn't provide it. ICANN only recently said they wouldn't sue non-compliant registrars.
I'm curious if that is accurate or not. It hangs in a weird way in the article and doesn't indicate where the info was posted.

Another problem is consumer confidence. Self driving accidents have a much higher impact in the news and people's minds than human error accidents.

The perception problem is the same as air flight. If self driving cars can't be essentially accident free passengers will be filled with the anxiety of lack of control. Even if the self driving car is 99% safer than human operated cars it's a hard sell to the buyer when you face that 1% risk that the consumer doesn't perceive as being a mitigation toward their own driving safety skills.

Apologies for the incomprehensible last sentence, hope you get the gist though.

>> No more signs or lights. No more lanes. Not even partitions. You can dynamically adjust your 8-lane freeway to be 6 lanes one way and 2 the other and flip it morning and evening.

Trains. Such concepts have been around for a long while in rail travel. Implementations never go smoothly. The reality of automating fast moving boxes full of living people are stark. Even where trains are driverless, with extensive signalling and redundant navigation systems, they don't get closer/faster than human operated trains. As systems grow more complex, to the point that failures are a regular occurrence, the dream of hyper-efficient automated travel disappears.
Facebook is under a lot if heat because they actively try to encourage the user to enter PII and even have policies such as no aliases and all accounts should belong to one person. Can't remember if I even needed a phone nr confirmation or if that was Microsoft. The sole purpose of a Facebook account is to be a one to one mapping to a person, and everything posted or visited is obviously tied to such an account.

Not like hacker news where you don't even need an email address to sign up, creating a throwaway account if you want to post something private takes one minute. Good luck with that on Facebook.

There's a serious problem with the current economic cycle that basically makes technical expertise and efficiency irrelevant to the ways companies make money nowadays. It's a nasty thing to admit to yourself, but unless you do, you risk ending up exactly like that - no hire despite perfect technical skills due to unspoken reasons you didn't catch.
Props, this is an amazing contribution. So much respect for someone who can really dig in, figure this stuff out, and make a better data-structure for nothing more than the love of doing so.

Thanks for the article but how do you link it to GDPR?
Maybe people are worried you'll rock the boat with all those technologies you list. If the group has settled on using React, the last thing they want is someone constantly trying to convert them to Angular.

Another possibility is you don't know those things as well as you think. When you say React do you mean React v.16? Does that include webpack, and if so, which version? If you're claiming to be an expert on all those things, it would make me skeptical. I bet you'd have better results if you focused on a few technologies you unambiguously ARE an expert at, and list the other things as footnotes.
How to determine if you need a block chain:

If YES: Congratulations! You might need a block chain.

If NO: You do not need a block chain.

There are no more questions. :)

Consent is usually not needed, since there are plenty of other lawful reasons for processing data. Small businesses will not usually need a DPO, and neither will many large ones. Small businesses will have proportionate fines, and probably no fines at all for accidental breaches of the law.

And no, there is no minimum fine set by GDPR, only maximum fines. Most companies will just get a warning to sort themselves out, if the past behaviour of the regulatory authorities is anything to go by — their emphasis is on getting compliance, so only egregious failures will attract fines, with others directed to carry out specified improvements to their processes.
The examples given were hardly "apocalyptic". And since there are accounts of all of them happening, it does seem to match the experience for some. Which leads me back to my initial interpretation of your comment.

No, that would not be prudent. In fact, the opposite.
Datalogix is just one of several third parties that were allowed to push matching data to Facebook for the creation of segments (partner categories), as well as Experian, Epsilon, Acxiom, etc.

The way it works is not very different from custom audiences, but they are syndicated to every FB marketing api user instead of private to your account and there's a revshare with FB based on usage.

So the matching has to be based on one (or more) of the keys listed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/audiences... plus a few extra ones like IDFA/IDFP, probably cookie matching, etc.

It's not hard to create a massive audience on Facebook if you're matching on public data like postcodes, but ultimately your understanding of that audience is based on how accurate your data is. Whether you believe that data companies have accurate data or not, it has nothing to do with their segment size on FB.

PS. the partner categories program has actually been discontinued as of April 2018, so these third parties will no longer be able to syndicate their data to all FB ads users in the future.
Mastodon.social has over 150k users, and there are other large non-Japanese instances. [1] After the SESTA / FOSTA bills, switter.at also became a huge instance for sex workers.

The instance banning thing is a huge problem and it’s not really being talked about much. The only thing you can do really is sign up on an instance like niu.moe that doesn’t filter besides illegal content.

I think you're using the term "patent examiner" in an unconventional way. To most people directly involved with patents a patent examiner means someone who is directly employed by the USPTO. This is different than someone who drafts patents for clients or who provides legal advice on patent issues.
By their very nature almost every single JS library is a hip design trend. The fact that there are so many JS libraries as to warrant a Wikipedia page should prove that point. Most libraries have a specific use case they excel at, but the hype surrounding them usually is more than the usefulness of the library. Claiming that React isn't trendy is kind of like claiming BTRFS isn't trendy. It's being developed and used by Facebook. ReactOS can use it. At the end of the day it will still be niche until it either becomes bloated to provide more usefulness a la JQuery or stops being trendy and just does what it does.
Ugh. Is what happened so very difficult to understand? Chistians were faced with voting for someone they were generally not comfortable with vs. someone believed to be truly evil.

This is by far my favourite new app, I love finding out about new music from all sorts of people, and it's great to just put on when you have some great DJs in the room.

One suggestion I have is to have some sort of "Schedule" (or "Happy Hour") function for the rooms. Because the issue I have is when I log on and check out if there are rooms I like are active, most of the time there wont be any DJs in the room. I'm not usually going to hang out in a room by myself (nor I expect other people to wait around for more people to join). So, if we had a function where admins/mods of rooms can send out a message/email to people who have favourited the room to "come back at 8:00PM EST for Happy Hour". And also have schedule messages for people in the room so they know when to come back and there will be more people.

Could definitely be one of the /bot functions too (I saw one of the EDM rooms doing this but it requires some organization by the admin's part, which most people wont bother with).

I've found myself reaching for radix trees more and more for the same reason you listed: competitive and predictable performance.

That said, I can see two counter-arguments:

1. Rehashing can be avoided if the table size is known in advance.
2. Rehashing is immaterial if the data structure is write-once, read-many.

In those cases, we might reasonably expect a hash table to perform better.

I think the issue here is that GDPR is really broad.

We have had our legal team review it to perform a cost/benefit analysis on whether we should comply with GDPR or block the EU region for the time being.

At the end, while we all agreed that the idea behind this law is reasonable, it would benefit us to ignore the EU region. (We reviewed our database to ensure we don't have any EU users currently on the system before doing this)

That being said, we branched out and started to slowly implement some GDPR requirements that can benefit our existing users privacy and we will certainly remove the EU blockage when the scope of this law becomes more apparent to our legal team.

I strongly believe software is due for some serious regulation, just like all other branches of engineering, we need to take responsibility for the systems we create and I feel like this is a sign that our industry is maturing from it's infancy stage.

Kudos to EU for making an attempt to keep Europeans safe.

>Wow. That violates HIPAA law. The counter-sue is going to be huge.

Basically an open and shut case too. Assuming they were smart enough to "correct" the mistake it may not be a Tier 4 ($50,000+) violation, but instead a Tier 3 violation ($10,000 - $50,000 per violation) of willful neglect. I'm not sure if each violation above would be considered a single large violation or multiple small violations ( 1 violation vs 7 violations is a major difference in penalty cost). There's also SLAPP.

The local value is synced periodically on configured interval or when local counter threshold exceeds a configured threshold value.

Much of this is fair... especially the trick used to entice people to rush through the acceptance of the new terms by using false message & notification alerts.

But... a good proportion of this complaint is that the complainant wishes to continue to use Facebook without any penalty whilst still opting out of all data tracking. They state things such as it being a social connection to friends & family... similar to a telephone network.

What they appear to be missing is the fact that it is their data that is paying for this service... unlike a telephone network which is pay-per-use!

The Enterprise Design Stack
There is typically L1 cache, L2 cache, L3 cache, RAM, and SWAP. These ranges from kb to mb, and then to gb. And each lower level is faster than all levels above it.

Most of the relevant memory here is L2 and L3. As you have more items in memory, the statistical likelihood that the page you're requesting will be in an efficient cache level decreases. Eventually you have so many items that you're statistically only getting the performance of RAM (let's ignore the swap case)... that's the point where you'll get closer to a flat `O(1)`... but it will be a lot slower than the `O(1)` with more cache hits.

More RAM doesn't mean more cache misses, but more elements in your data set does — "n" isn't the amount of memory in your system, it has the same meaning here as it does everywhere else in complexity analysis.

Small datasets fit in L3, smaller datasets fit in L2, and if they're smaller still they'll fit in L1, all of which are progressively faster. If your data set is bigger than L3, you need to hit RAM, and bigger still you'll need to hit the SSD or HDD — going progressively slower.
Thanks!

You actually can do that already- I think I just need to make it more obvious. If you're an admin of a room you can 'broadcast' a message to all the people who have saved your room. The message gets sent via email to those users. Keep the feedback coming though if you have more- just shoot me an email.

This is always the first thing I think of when I picture a future with wide adoption of autonomous vehicles.

Not only is there road-rage potential, think about the municipal revenue from traffic enforcement. The public purse will remain thirsty for the funds, but autonomous cars will be very difficult to fine (either because they don't break the law or because every ticket gets disputed with hard data from companies that can afford to defend themselves). So what will happen? People driving older cars will start to become "over fished". As time goes on, it will only be poor people getting tickets (even more so than today) and therefore disproportionately minorities, and the social unrest between those people and an antagonistic police force will worsen.

The way laws are made is an interesting and complicated topic. Most people have an innate understanding as to what is "correct", when when the laws don't match up then there are problems. They keep the speed limits a little below that number because then the police can pull over cars they don't like at will, and because of the ticket revenue.

Honestly, I think once autonomous vehicles pass the 50% mark, they will have to increase the speed limits just to keep everyone safe.
