This seems like a narrow definition of freedom, something like, freedom is whatever rights are granted by the nations I like.

Under the current framework of International Law, that is what it is. Sovereignty basically comes down to "bigger army diplomacy," as CGP Grey puts it. Even in the US. It's the sovereign US which uses its power to assert rights on behalf of its citizens.

Perhaps this could change. Perhaps we could establish individual human rights as the foundation of law on future colony planets. I'm not sure that game theory and human nature would allow it, however.
> Kind of a cool concept to think about construction having unit tests. Autonomous drones that check your work continuously. Prevents a problem from being undetected until after the responsible crew has moved on to the next room/floor/site.

You have an optimistic view of the digitalization of construction project management. I attended a talk not too long ago from one of the bigger project management solution players in the field and they reported that the status quo for most construction projects is progress tracking via Excel.

Structured data in a form that could be used together with autonomous drones is still a few long steps away.
All the negative points for wealthy consumers regarding Walmart(I.e long lines, mood, etc) will be solved either by grocery pickup, or delivery.

>We're 10 days away from the keynote, and absolutely nothing is getting out.

I'm OK with this. I'm not so locked into a feedback loop that I need to know every little thing happening at Apple before it actually happens. I think the death of Think Secret did that for me.

The downside is that all of the Apple fansites (9to5Mac, MacRumors, etc...) are all full of crap "wish list", "deals" and contests disguised as articles because they have to fill their quotas.
Apple is so in love with walled gardens. I can't imagine them ever making truly open hardware. Perhaps they are uniquely qualified to make something open because of the amount of effort they have put into making things that are closed.

Rents are based on willingness to pay per month.

Prices (values) are based on that market willingness to pay divided by the cost of capital. If the cost of capital goes up, all else equal, values will fall while rents are flat.
I have drafted these today - if you have any comments, please tell me, I am happy to develop this further :)
The amount of self-righteousness in this thread is amazing. Seriously, who cares how much money he currently makes? He's making bank, fuck him, right?

People, the point of a student loan is to finance an education, not to create wage-slaves or have we forgotten that part? But I guess that ship has sailed if random internet people are for the interests of predatory financial institutions. Such a shame..
SMF was quite nice. Solaris was incredible in a lot of ways. I always wonder why it never took off.
(Reply to a deleted comment on the burden of compliance as a US business)

If you truly do intend to take good care of your users’ data, then the goal should be to have you demonstrate that whilst making it as easy as possible for you to do so (without compromising the said care).

I’m hoping that over the coming weeks and months the enforcement of GDPR and various court cases will add clarity and allow the development of improved guidelines for becoming compliant. If a random SaaS company that users emails for logins and communication with active customers could look at a simple 5 point check list which they could check though in a day then things would be better for everyone.

Less burden for customers, wider services for users, and those firms that can see they could make a few small changes to become compliant would be more incentivised to do so.
If you make sure that the response is cacheable, then Cloudflare will cache it at the edge and so only the first check for any particular IP will be slow.

What makes a response cacheable is a little complicated. There's cache headers, but also some heuristics involved. However, you can override all of that from a Worker by passing an explicit cache TTL to fetch():

fetch(url, {cf: {cacheTtl: 86400}})

This will force Cloudflare to cache the response at the edge for one day regardless of anything else. (Note: The documentation currently claims this option is available to enterprise customers only, but as of this week, it actually works for everyone. Docs to be updated soon.)
I am less free if I can not cross a border. That part is simple.

Sounds like he's doing the smart thing at this point, doesn't it? He borrowed over $600,000. By the end of the 25 year period he'll likely have paid back less than the original principal.
Only in the middle-class parts of the United States.

In 1995, only 18% of UK households had dishwashers. Even today, only ~75% of US households have them. Today, only ~60% of UK households have dryers.

European ownership rates of household appliances resemble those of the late Soviet Union more then they do those of the United States.
So what you're saying is that it will cost money to retrospectively fix a badly designed service? Good.

It takes me a lot longer to write the code than it does to format it for readability.

I'm inclined to think that the reason that auto-formatters are popular is not because manually formatting code is hard, but simply to head off nitpicking in code review.

I think there's a better solution to the "style nitpicking in code review" problem: Just don't do it.

If you're nitpicking style during a code review, chances are good that you are not looking for real problems.
I consider most advertising-delivered information to be suspect. I find about things I'm interested in organically, through interest-based websites and the like.

In any case, except for a few specific circumstances, I've rigorously used ad-blocker so I haven't had to deal with any ads at all. The last ads that I have seen were on Facebook, but even it couldn't seem do a good job, even though it's purportedly the master of targeting
Sesame points?
We're on ECS now (using EC2 - for persistent workloads, Fargate is much more expensive), but we ran a lot of traditional EC2 containers for years.

We ran alot of application code on EC2 while using services like SQS, RDS, etc. At one point we used Cloud66 that used our AWS backend. We do a ton of background processing; combined with spot instances, it's a great platform for scaling up and down in the hundreds of instances. In every one of these situations, there were often needs to SSH into those machines, review log files, look at htop, etc.

Even for the "VPS use case" AWS provides compelling advantages: better firewall control, image management, VPC isolation, API automation, etc.
"reasoning about what science is and does is part of philosophy."

I am saying some of that analysis benefits from real hard data. So, if your saying all of that analysis falls under philosophy, then I don't think that's what most people mean when the use the term.
A few years ago I was technical lead for a team that worked one of the largest IT systems in the UK that you've probably never heard of. The customer was truely enlightened and would fund short technical de-risking studies to understand and scope challenging tasks before asking the contracting organisations to produce a firm price proposal for delivering the capability.

This worked well and was driven by his understanding that most of his effort needed to be focused on identifying and mitigating delivery risk. Most often the key risks lay in trying to estimate the level of effort required to develop key new functionality when all involved had limited prior experience in developing similar functionality. In those cases funding a short time bounded study to explore the technologies involved and figure out the art of the possible reaped huge rewards downstream.

If only all customers were that enlightened!
Sigh. I wish PMP would already die. Or that MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, they'd fuse with PRINCE2. Both PMP and PRINCE2, on their own, suck so hard. Fused, it becomes a vastly different matter. It still has various drawbacks, but the issues become so much smaller.
the output of 'ip address' is so much harder to parse, visually :/
Jesús Christ, how disingenuous can you be? "Hiring" a DPO basically means appointing someone to the role who will take over these responsibilities. Depending on the size of your firm, the workload might be quite low and somebody can do it on the side, or, if you're talking Facebook, you might have a small department to do it.
Isn’t the IP address of a person/data which is subject to GDPR? So this form of blockade means that you need to disclose that you are using service X for checking the black list and that they might track/ store data.
GDPR applies to all EU citizens. It doesn't matter if the citizen is accessing the web site from the eu or another country. Blocking people in the EU doesn't block all eu citizens from accessing your product/service.
How Institutional Complaints Procedures Are Being Weaponized
I get that it's a reply to the 'full control of your profile'. Just double checking, in regards to OP's question, is this a requirement of GDPR?

If they are blocking the app and there is absolutely no way for people to purchase and play games then I think apple are in the wrong.
It was an interesting time to be building robots. And most of them had all of their functions running on the equivalent of an Arduino. (generally an 8080 or Z80 though with more RAM and no FLASH). You can read through the archives of comp.robotics.misc for some of the excitement of the time.

Generally, the inability to have end effectors (hands of some sort) that could do things was a real killer. None of these robots could do anything with vision, few had real localization, and about the best they could do was move from where they were to approximately where you wanted them to be without bumping into too many things or getting stuck.
I like it for being to the point and actionable. Thank you!
GDPR is written in terms of rights people in the EU have against companies operating in the EU.

Which is to say your hypothetical dual citizen would have zero rights under GDPR in their dealings with purely US entities.
I went into this design decision, having looked very closely at the specific success of the SHRDLU system (1971?). Local disambiguation was very effective, and Avail goes even further by having exceptionally strong types to help distinguish meaning. We also have grammatical restrictions to express a unique form of precedence rules, and semantic restrictions to statically identify a large number of inappropriate uses of methods, like “dog”[4], which is a compile-time subscript bounds error.
What are the chances the next gen iPhone gets a L1/L5-capable GNSS chip? That'd arguably be one of the better features too. There's some speculation that Pixel 3 will get it (BCM47755).
I agree, but I think DNA is irrelevant.

Imparting your values on the next generation is the most durable thing an individual can do. The way I see it, it's a multiplier. I can only do so much in one lifetime, but I can raise my children to value the same things as me, and thereby guide the impact that they and their children will have on the world.

That's true, I'll consider it, in the meantime here are some thoughts.

When I started working on React Native, I thought that the most difficult thing would be to design a good set of APIs to make it easy to write mobile apps using React that felt good. This turned out to be the "easy part", we started the project wanting to solve this and having lots of good ideas on how to do it.

What turned out to be a lot harder was the fact that we were trying to use JavaScript from within iOS and Android ecosystems.

1) Those at the time were in different repos, how do you synchronize code between them?

2) The three ecosystems use a different set of tools for everything: IDE (xcode, intellij, sublime/atom/code/emacs), package manager (cocoapods, maven, npm), linters (eslint), build (how do you hook up with the play button in xcode?), profilers (can you display stack traces with the two languages calling each other?)...

3) Mixing and matching languages inside of a single project is hard because there are a lot of subtle different semantics (eg: javascript doesn't have int32 or int64). If you have type systems, they are incompatible (flow vs obj-c). So in practice you end up with a lot of boilerplate to talk between the two languages and it's a performance overhead.

There's also a social aspect where you invested so much learning an ecosystem that it becomes part of your identity. So you see someone wanting to bring another language as trying to attack you directly.

My mission since then has been trying to "break down the silos" and trying to build tools that can work with all those languages. It's not been easy :)
Amazon could combine efficiencies in distribution scale with a marketplace for producers.

Wallmart beats the suppliers down on price and quality, and only supplies their own stores. Amazon could supply many chain stores, profiting on the distribution/supply management, and also create a marketplace where suppliers sell to the chain stores, and profiting again on organizing the market.
The README says right there that they haven't found a good autodoc tool for C and that their API instability makes it burdensome to maintain documentation right now; calling them bad engineers for that is a bit much. Their only "mistake" is being a project for which outside enthusiasm has far outpaced its progress.
That’s what I’m saying, it would be like the audible store - no way to buy books but you can listen to them....
His income is entirely relevant, because he is able to pay back the loans but chooses not to pay them back.
Unsurprising. As an American small business owner, the American market is plenty big for me. I would not take a European client because it’s not worth the risk.
Ok, but Apple devotes considerable resources to make all of that impossible. Why pick on the GPU specifically?

> Finally, even once a node is assigned into a particular section, it will be reassigned to another random section at some interval, further decreasing your ability to take over a particular section.

Doesn't that on the flipside also mean that given enough time your malicious nodes will end up in the same section, allowing for a take over of that section?
How does the US stay competitive with these salaries? In most of Europe it's very rare to make over 100k, and exceedingly rare to have a salary over 200k. As a counterbalance the employer side costs are larger of course, but I would assume the employer total cost difference is considerable anyway.
Yes, much bigger pests
It should be over in two days. Carb withdrawl makes you a little more tired. After that, you should even out -- no more crashes and highs -- to a constant level of good focus and energy. You do need to bump your fat and protein intake, first to avoid the addiction eating by actually being full, and second to provide energy. After a couple days you switch to burning fat instead of burning sugars.

This is a very dangerous interpretation. Let me tell you why: this opens the door for someone, let's say China, to say that their laws apply to Chinese nationals outside of China. You know, censorship and the rest.

While GDPR is a good idea, its legal impact can only be for business conducted within EU boundaries, or we are going to open up a Pandora's Box like this.
I'm sure you considered all the poor people across the world that are subsidized by the ad driven model we use today.

A lot of them are poor, because we don't want to pay a decent amount for the products that we consume and instead rely on people working in sweatshops in third-world countries.

You don't solve poverty by giving them 'free' products that require them to give you all their private data. You solve poverty by giving people a decent wage, so that they make these decisions themselves.
It takes 40-60 hours of instruction time and airplane rental time to earn a pilot's license. Total cost is typically $8-12,000. Once all the requirements have been satisfied, you have to go through a 4-6 hour long oral and in-flight examination. That's just for a private pilot license, which does not allow you to conduct any commercial operations.

A drone license costs $150 to take a multiple choice test with 60 questions, and you only have to pass 70% of them.
> If there was then patents, copyrights, trademarks, and fit of licensing, etc would all be wrong to the same degree.

Patents and copyright exist novel and interesting works and ideas for a limited amount of time. It's an obvious argument that it would be anti-competitive to allow a giant competitor to steal novel ideas from their creators without recourse. It's not obvious to me how protecting serendipity is clearly anti-competitive.

Trademarks are in no way anti-competitive. They exist to support fair business practices, in particular to prevent malicious actors from falsely claiming they represent a business. It would be anti-competitive to allow anyone to steal your trademark and sell products under it.
Violating TOS is not illegal...
I took up rock climbing early on, and in fact that hobby became motivation for losing weight instead of the other way around. I sped a good 6+ hours at the rock climbing gym every week. It was not sufficient to fight the compulsion and I still have to average around 1600kcal/day to maintain.
Let's try another formulation.

Valuable, dear, beloved users for which the business has boundless sympathy, empathy, and compassion are now awkwardly the source of compliance concerns for which the costs outstrip the reasonably expected revenues enabled by compliance. While compassion is unlimited, it is possible the budgets and time may not be.

Better?

In the UK at least this is already a widely-known category of organisation and covers things like national and local government bodies, schools, hospitals, fire authorities, the police etc.
You should definitely wash the eggs before you cook with them. As you mention, that is de rigueur for Europeans, as it is in America for things like lettuce and potatoes.

Flying a drone is much easier than most people think (at least drones from DJI or even the GoPro Karma). To not become a commodity, you have to provide something on top of just flying a drone to produce photo/video assets. For example, combining drone flying with storytelling (and ground footage) to create a video with a narrative is much harder, thus lucrative.
And that makes sense. This is about business conducted in the EU while someone is in the EU. The EU does not have jurisdiction outside of the EU.
Yes, you should cache as much as you can to reduce the latency. We have some examples using NGINX and Lua to cache at the very edge and reduce roundtrips to our endpoints.

Probably I will give it a try on Workers another Friday afternoon.
You make good points, and particularly to explain why there might not be much effort to unify approaches, this makes sense.

But it still doesn't explain Pearl's generally thorny disposition regarding other approaches. Most practitioners and researchers will err on the side of humility, and assume that broad swaths of comparable research is valuable and that many of their ideas have probably been thought of before, in one form or another, even if the researcher's approach is deserving of praise for its innovation or novelty.

David Mumford, in his 'dawning of the age of stochasticity' lecture, mentioned the idea of a 'hubris quotient' -- for him it was the idea of claiming to adequately summarize thousands of years of math progress to the point that someone could actually say something novel, in the span of a single career. If you've only been working on it for 30-40 years, and you're claiming to upend something that's been central for hundreds of years, that's a poor hubris quotient, and so maybe you should proceed with a lot of humility and caution.

It just never quite feels like Pearl accepts this for causal inference. Maybe he feels like it has not gotten the attention it deserves and needs to advocate in a more no-nonsense kind of way, but it just seems like somewhat of a bad hubris quotient to start speaking about how it is a novel take on something he feels ML has historically not adequately accounted for.
