While true in general, public radio has quite a quantity of paid-third-party-ads these days. And they don't just say "supported by [corporation, tag line]", they are full ads, just read by the public radio hosts.

There's one radio station group that has consistently been fully public interest with neither ads nor corporate nor government conflicts-of-interest: the Pacifica network which has affiliates around the country http://pacificanetwork.org
And there is nothing intrinsically wrong with anti-competitive behavior.

If there was then patents, copyrights, trademarks, and fit of licensing, etc would all be wrong to the same degree.

Until a monopoly (or a collaborative effort by members of an oligopoly - in the case of price fixing) abuses these things we don’t care - and rightly so.

Plus, when it comes to media like movies, you really should complain about the movie studios & their licensing. That’s why Apple locks down videos - they have to or they wouldn’t be able to offer the content. You can see their free & easily shareable approach to music purchasing as a counter example to movies.
Intermittent fasting was a big part of the early stages of my own climb down from 320+lbs. One thing I will warn about is that, in my case, my body eventually caught up with me and my appetite became uncontrollable again, leading to compulsive eating that I was powerless against until I started taking ephedrine as an appetite suppressant. Don't underestimate the power of a ghrelin/dopamine feedback loop.

Also worth noting: according to my caloric intake log, I now need to eat well under the average to maintain my weight. My understanding is that there is no known way to avoid this kind of metabolic damage when losing large amounts of weight, so you just have to get used to it.
I think the most important part about the post is at the very end:

Anyway: just for academic interest I’m curious how much this increases the overall request latency, as there would be one additional blocking HTTP call at the beginning. Do you have any benchmarks for that API call to check the blacklist?

Why would you use AWS and then create a bunch of EC2 instances to host servers for databases, caching, ElasticSearch, messaging, configuration, orchestration, etc? That kind of defeats the purpose of going with AWS. If all you're doing is using a bunch of EC2 instances to simulate what you're doing on prem, you might as well go for much cheaper VPS providers. AWS is not buying you anything if you're still managing all of your own servers.
Estimation is a skill. You have to learn it and practice it. Estimation is not something you can just do. You have to be taught how.

OA touched on this, for many companies and types of projects the majority of development is doing things you do not understand and/or don't know how to do. Yet.

You don't figure those things out until long after someone wanted an estimate and tonolan release date. It's not infrequent to have shipped v1 before you figure out how things work. Or needed to work.

Personally, this is the fun part of GDPR for me. The days of weasling out of regulations for private data with cute workarounds are coming to an end.
Any agreement, whether written or verbal, is legally binding so long as it's mutual, voluntary, and not fraudulent.

Pure verbal agreements are obviously much more difficult to evidence, but any physical evidence whatsoever that indicates the existence and form of an agreement -- even text messages between the two of you -- will readily bind the parties in court.
That works. YMMV but If you still want EU users here is what I did last night: https://medium.com/@riantogo/gdpr-band-aid-b619d0b17e5b
Breaking news: relatively unhindered free markets tend to encourage prices for commodity goods and services to decrease when supply is limited primarily by other scalable commodities.

People who can not differentiate their goods or services in quality or price will find themselves in a mighty rut, and that's a good thing. Why should we expect the price of drone piloting to stagnate rather than decrease?
You're presuming that Google's biggest win is by selling hardware (access). Ignoring cloud, think about Google's broader mission -- making information useful and accessible. Google today sees staying at the forefront of machine learning as being a necessary component of doing that well. And from that perspective, it doesn't matter whose hardware it runs on.
Somewhat different from my idea of how to get to the front page of Hacker News (from http://ineptech.com/index.html?blog&post=20):

* Use a plainly wrong headline which you intend to weasel out of in the body of the essay (e.g. "Why Javascript is lower-level than Assembly", "Mobile is dead")

* Any "<app> in <techology>" project that hasn't been done yet (e.g. "Building a reverse-Polish calculator in Rust", "Show HN: Umud, the first MUD client for Urbit")

* Devise a variant on an obscure technology or algorithm and give it a quirky name (e.g. "Soda-can steganography", "Homomorphic hashing the Monty Python way")

* Vague counter-intuitive advice for startup founders (e.g. "Raising your valuation through the power of song", "How beating my children saved my B round")

One thing the article didn't mention, that would be interesting to consider is the inflation rate of tuition from the time he was 17 until the time he graduated. I'm estimating based on other research that it was likely between 8%-10%. That means the cost of his education would be roughly 50% more than he originally expected.

Factor to multiply cost is 2.2 =(1.09^9)

Figure it was increasing at a steady state so you could split the difference. Even if he had looked at salaries originally, then backed in to the price using normal (not education) inflation, he would have dramatically underestimated his exit cost.

> a substantial part of the investment into space is coming from private companies (SpaceX notably) rather than government grants

Those private companies receive substantial government benefits and support. Under this policy, the administration now has changed rules to suit what the big businesses want (as opposed to what benefits the public, the taxpayers, science, smaller businesses, other space users, etc.) and has setup a special office to help them. It remains to be seen if this benefits the public or is another giveaway of public interest and resources to big business.

That point was part of a general observation. When something 'matters', that doesn't mean there cam be other factors. In thi specific case I see no reason why the territorial scope would not extend to processors outside the EU when they monitor user behavior. Taking some limited technical measures to prevent access doesn't absolve them from the law to apply.

That is the same defense Ayer used. It doesn't amount to much, since if you don't mean to say that non-empirical statements are meaningless in some kind of objective sense, then saying that they're meaningless is just a highfalutin way of saying that you personally disapprove of them.

The vendor kernels are worthless, tainted, piles of crap. Vendors rarely, if ever, maintain them once they are posted publicly. The GPU still requires proprietary blobs to be even remotely useful.
I concur; that is a great.
Right, but what this means is a business often can't support itself via a mix of subscription and ads - if you offer both for the same content the value of your adds will likely crash, so it's mostly equivalent to just being subscription based

This is true. There was an article in Exberliner a few years ago explaining how rampant it was for cafe owners in Neukölln to keep everything cash only and pay employees off the books. With such a high amount of foreigners and expats in dubious visa situations there's a lot of opportunities to play the system.
It is a very valid complaint and becomes even more valid as Facebook is scrutinized even further.

Zuckerberg's EU hearing was a rather good indicator of where this is heading when MEP's specifically singled out:

- Facebook's business practices in general, the MEP's do not believe that what Facebook is doing can be done in the same way while respecting users privacy. Thus they kept asking how Facebook is planning to monetize it's service in the future while respecting their user's data.

- Having Facebook admit to its monopoly position in the EU by asking Zuckerberg for any Facebook competition he knows of, in the EU.

There's also this whole issue with Facebook simply slurping up WhatsApp, and all its user's data, even tho WhatsApp users never consented to any of that. I made a point of never giving Facebook my mobile number, a point that's made completely irrelevant when Facebook just throws money around to get any data they want complete with some manufactured opt-out consent.

I do not feel a whit of sympathy for this guy. He can afford to pay, but he doesn't. That's why his debt is so high. If he had left his loans unconsolidated and made aggressive payments, he'd be a good deal down the road toward fixing his debt situation. Instead, he seems intent on allowing it to grow as large as possible.

(Edit: I'll note that it's just like the WSJ to pick the least sympathetic possible face of a real social problem that probably ought to see some government action to fix.)
Then you don't understand the most fundamental thing about the GDPR: "Kopplungsverbot" (german privacy law had that for ages before GDPR). You can't force someone to consent to marketing because he wants to use your service. Everything that is not part of the core service needs consent that can be withdrawn at every time. The core service of facebook is access to the network, not that my data is processed to show me better advertising. The advertising is in facebook's interest, not mine. "But we make our revenue from ads" is not a valid explanation. If your service was "sign up to see better ads", then that would be your core business and no consent needed. Best thing ever happend.

Lacking multitasking is a productivity killer for a developer, typically juggling multiple balls at once.
The point is that hardware companies are the one that will extract most of the value from AI.

While Google will be a "mere" user or a swapable layer (in the field of data center). A little bit like the producers of mouses or monitor during the wintel era.

I may be completely wrong, but this is the line of reasoning.
Worse is the array of smart devices that are forced to use Android type hardware / Android OS. Looking at the Peloton cycle I have specifically which clearly runs Android OS. Could be so much better if it was on faster hardware / could link up to Apple Watch for stats.

Make a version of iOS that companies can build off of; maintain the OS patch cycles but let them put their own app / front end on it.

Tons of smart devices exist now a days; TVs, refrigerators, bikes, etc... There's a market for an Apple based system for sure.

But yes - I'll taking a flying unicorn also in the interim.
> This one makes total sense to me

A lot of things “make sense” but aren’t true.
Well said, that’s exactly right. Most languages lack a bottom type, or screw it up by pretending that “null” fits that role and falsely promises everything that every other type promises.

Languages like Java (and many more) fail to even have a top type, which leads to kludgey add-ons to the type system — boxed, @Nullable, erased generics, annotations, dependency injection, purity annotations, etc., all of which should have been part of a single type system.
Except in multitasking UX. Yes, technically there isn't anything stopping you from running a compiler on iOS, but there's so much more to having a relevant development platform than "does llvm technically run".
I mean there are structural equation models that preceded Pearl's work that Pearl cites. And before that the Neyman-Rubin work.. Neyman first wrote about it in 1923. I think Pearl's principle insight was to use graph theory to reason about either Bayesian things (see probabilistic graphical models) or causal things (see causality). This is a fairly fundamental insight.
I was surprised to find that only two of the first jury had any technical background at all. In that case however one such member helped to ignore the jury instruction and somewhat mislead the rest.
Anatomy of a Double-Spend / 51% attack
Regulation can both help make people safer and also get in the way of innovation.

A more realistic example:

Regulations say cars are required to have steering wheels. They also say cars are expected to be under the control of a driver at all times.

Good and all if you expect to have human drivers. But it increases the cost of self-driving cars. And humans are terrible at mode-switching right before an emergency (we know this from studies on airplanes, as well as from studies on self-driving cars).

The two ways of solving this: (1) develop a self-driving car that doesn't need a steering wheel (ala trains under positive train control) or (2) restrict operation of self-driving cars to people who are highly trained and regularly operate cars in manual mode (ala the airplane industry).

Alphabet/Waymo/Google can afford the army of lawyers and lobbyists required to make this happen. All the other start-ups in this space had to get acquired by an incumbent (GM or Uber) or restrict their domain to something with less regulation (e.g. private land -- golf courses; university campuses; the Las Vegas Strip).

Of course. But they contain non-zero amounts of information on the chip so you can do a proper implementation or, much less ambitious, update it for newer kernel versions.
The odds of Apple releasing a development ARM board is probably roughly equal to that of them releasing complete documentation and linux kernel driver support to go along with it.

But Cloudflare has servers very close to our endpoints around the world, so I guess < 50ms if you don't use SSL could be a good estimation.

iOS won’t ever be a development platform. That would necessitate bringing down the AppStore walled garden, which would be a very stupid move from Apple.
You can use third party app repositories like the FOSS-only F-Droid, or even simply download apps directly from individual creators if they release the apk.
In particular, your suggestion that nations have rights to control immigration suggests it would be OK if nations had explicitly racist immigration policies; indeed we allow individual citizens to have racist policies for who they let into their home on account of that citizen's individual rights (even though we may strongly disapprove of those individuals).

Sorry, but that doesn't follow. That would be tantamount to saying dating preferences ratify racism because society says it's OK that someone has never slept with an Asian woman. Just as someone might have preferences that contextually caused them to not sleep with people of a particular race, nothing precludes a country having genuinely meritocratic policies which happen to favor certain demographics at certain times. Implicit in this argument is the notion that racism is defined only by outcomes. That is illogical and destructive, because it precludes the existence of meritocratic reasons.

Again, this is just the intellectually dishonest use of "racism" as an emotional bludgeon to push an illogical political agenda.
Curious, why is this a bad thing? Also it seems like you can change it to a lower number if you want.
They do, yes! I do!
You should consider making this a bit clearer in the beginning. There is already a lot confusion about GDPR lately and people could take your post seriously. As pointed out by others already, geo-blocking isn’t a proper way to become GDPR compliant.
