I don't know, but probably. Sometimes you had your information for shady reasons, and it would be almost impossible to recreate it. It is a bit what's happened with Facebook if you agree that the public lacked a sense of data-privacy until then, and got abused because of that.

I guess that's what GDPR is about too. We used to discard the value of digital data, mostly I guess because it could be generated and exchanged at the speed of light. When people realized they could make money out of it, giants sitting on huge databases of personal data suddenly became the norm. And they don't share unless you pay them (if it is even in their business model).

> Is it a monopoly if there's nothing preventing you from starting your own competing product collecting the same data?

First, remember Facebook has more than two billion active users. I don't think you can realistically compete against that.

Anyway, this is a thin line argument. In some countries, I've been told, Facebook acts almost like a hub for the internet. I guess you cannot either compete against the pipes themselves.

I think Monopoly regulations are not about punishing evil corporations. They exist because such situations restrain innovation (including from companies having the monopoly) and generally disrupt free market by having one player able to do price-fixing. Honestly, I think Facebook is being hit hard by that first part by totally failing to appeal to a younger audience while becoming the dreamland of advertising.
This is a valid point, perhaps more applicable to the parents or siblings we try to protect, but still valid.

It would be nice if Firefox had a page that listed every setting that is changed from a default value in one place. You'd still have to investigate extensions separately, but at least all those obscure hidden settings you've changed accessible and visible in one place.
If someone expresses positive experience, do you demand link of proof too? If no, why the difference? Why should negative experience cross higher tresold then positive one?
So you are okay with people with no spine basically running this country? Because that's what high paying professionals typically do. It may not be politics, but they typically have a lot of power and their spinelessness impacts a lot more people than just themselves.

I don't think this is at all a good thing.

In general that's true, but if I understood the discussion correctly the reason Speck was being considered here is because this specific application needed a fast block cipher - stream ciphers like Salsa/ChaCha were not suitable.
Twitter doesn't represent everyone.
Faciciously asking that question is very much an active strategy to downplay & dilute the term. And astroturfing is monied interests dressing up as grassroots. An article in a paper expressing an opinion, accompanied by some body of research, is journalism.

I also didn’t really mean that to be attacking, I possibly attributed malice to misunderstanding so if that’s what happened I apologize
Lending agencies in the USA have also had the hammer brought down on them for paying attention to postal codes in some jurisdictions, but I don't think it's been banned nationally.

Regardless, the spot where surveillance capitalism worries me is that it could serve to undercut any attempts at banning such practices, regardless of how consumer-friendly a legal jurisdiction tries to be in limiting how the data can be used.

Can't use your current postal code to decide what your interest rate will be? That's fine, we'll just buy a dataset that tells us what your favorite restaurants are, and infer where you live from that instead.

Oh, but we won't do it directly, either, because someone would just blow the whistle on that, too. Instead we'll feed it and several hundred or thousand other data points into a machine learning model. And we'll pick the most black box algorithm we can think of, so we can claim plausible deniability.

Or maybe we'll set up several different online loan companies, each of which offers slightly different rates. We won't explicitly say that only certain people are supposed to use one of them, but we will still engineer the client pools by carefully targeting the advertising based on what websites people tend to visit.

I'm coming to the opinion that we should consider this kind of dragnet collection and reselling of data about people to be abusive prima facie. The potential for misuse is just too great, and the ostensibly legitimate uses that people have been able to come up with are typically really lame and uncompelling.
What's the alternative? Remove the SSD?
Unfortunately, the NSA also happens to be the single largest, best-funded collection of cryptographers in the world (probably - who knows how big 3PLA/4PLA are), and do have a history of mostly-beneficial relationships with the crypto community. If you ignore NSA ciphers, you may just be trading vulnerability to the NSA for vulnerability to everyone.
The malaria that infects humans is only transmitted among humans so the ecosystem effects are fairly predictable and limited to the change in environmental impact attributable to the human populations currently impacted by malaria.

Prosperity tends to lead to both environmentalism and consumption, so the impacts will likely be a mix of positive and negative.
Education is locally controlled and political polarization is geographical. Right and left wing communities could both operate stellar schools and their graduates could be even less able to agree on truth.
I have seen many people complain about how it is unfair that small companies also have to do due diligence with people's data, not just he big ones. It seems really mind-boggling to me.

Is it also unfair that both small and large companies aren't allowed to pour acid into rivers? Should they get an exception?

Should only large restaurants be forbidden from serving rotten food? Should small car makers have exceptions to car safety and emission standards?
Focusing responsibility on the individual NSA agent is a red herring - the entire organization is the hostile party. Would you judge the situation differently if it were a different operative pushing Speck?

The asset themselves probably isn't even privy to the actual existence of a backdoor, due to compartmentalization and for the sake of their own sincerity.

They're more akin to the waiter. A waiter that doesn't want to think too hard about whether your food was spit in, as their job depends on not knowing. How are you doing today? smile
Samw for the Facebook container. Firefox containers are an awesome feature. I hope they make it default eventually.
All comes down to doing what is right or what makes you more money.

Google staying in China would have made them a ton more money but giving up user data to the government was not acceptable for them.

It was for Apple and making a buck.

That's actually a reasonable analogy, but I think we only seem "less serious" to those who have their mind set on ignoring the movement from the get go.

To me open source just conveys the idea of "free shit". Saying "FLOSS" conveys the idea that this is actually a culture, with beliefs and ideologies. Much like everyone can identify as queer, but being an LGBTQ+ militant requires belief if not outright dedication to a certain family of ideologies.

Now if having beliefs or being a militant for a particular cause makes you "less serious", well, agree to disagree.
Do they take less drugs, or do they just take less recreational drugs? Anecdotally, I'd wager kids are taking more drugs than ever before, specifically the kind that come with a prescription. And we could really get into the weeds with which recreational drugs are/were popular with kids...

And I'd also wager that the number of kids negatively impacted by poor mental health today is a lot more than the number of kids negatively impacted by violent youth crime and teenage pregnancies in past years not so far removed from our own.

Furthermore we've got a baby/bathwater situation going on here specifically with respect to teenage pregnancy as it relates to minor autonomy. Teaching kids to use condoms and birth control needn't be thrown out with the bathwater that is overprotected children. In fact, I think you could argue that sex education for minors is an exception to the rule, where minors are being given more autonomy today than in the past.
Not sure what you're getting at, so called "redlining" is illegal in the US as well.

The US has a slew of laws around lending, the ECOA and FHA being the main ones.
It is pretty interesting that people outside China are trying hard to get rid of Google on Android. Whereas people buying phones in China are getting Android without Google by default and trying hard to install Google play services (those who travel or live oversea).
> Nothing says you can't link to those resources, but if the page automatically loads them (hotlinked images, scripts, remote fonts, etc.) then there's an issue.

Seems like a contradiction, and exactly my point. Trying to collect privacy policies and compliance statements from any place you might load an <img> or <script> from is extraordinarily burdensome and pointless besides. Totally absurd over-reach IMO.

And what about the 25 hops in between you and them which also collect your IP and the domain being contacted?
> If richer families started having children at a higher rate, or poorer families slowed down, the problem would be fixed?

This does sound like a great idea.
To be honest, I bought it but never found the time to actually play it. I loved Syndicate on the Amiga, thought. Some time during the 2000s, I tried Syndicate Wars, but its crude 3D engine was a real turn-off.
I think you misread what I said as "I want the browser to load all the images, all the time" instead of "I want the browser to download and render in ways that are appropriate to the constraints of the network and processing power, not have to rely on a million folks each inventing their own lazy-loader".
I'd seriously consider migrating to bitbucket if this happens.

Having studied in Russia, Germany and UK, I would say that:

- Technical education was emphasized over humanities. It was much more important to produce good engineers as required by industry and military rather than "thinkers".

- Maths was traditionally well taught across the board, whereas in Europe and especially UK it is seen as tough and unnecessary.

- Doing well in school is seen as a point of pride. Thus many work hard to do well in school to get the respect of their peers.
Is it also unfair that both small and large companies aren't allowed to pour acid into rivers? Should they get an exception?

Funny you should say that because I'm an environmental studies major and we do, in essence, let small shops do exactly that. Most toxic chemicals are disposed of in residential and commercial trash because they are being disposed of in small quantities. You basically do have to exceed a certain threshold before certain regulations apply to your toxic waste, such as household batteries.

We encourage consumers to recycle tech. We sometimes tack on some kind of environmental related tax or surcharge to try to cover the cost, but it is paid up front, it is a small amount and we know the fee at the time of purchase. But we don't set bear traps that can ruin your life because you put an old computer in the trash can instead of disposing of it properly, for example.
Nice video but (unrelated to the IDE) in order to use a printf from js it was necessary to:

The "fundamental nature of particles" (according to QIT) is that there are no particles.

So when a GPL2-licensed project takes code from a BSD-licensed project and makes a derivative work based on that, shouldn't those developers submit a copy of the derivative work back to the BSD-licensed project as well, just to be fair?
#silverlining

But I don't know how much that mitigates the damage. If good leaders spend all their time cleaning up the mess left behind, it goes pretty far in preventing anything really good from happening.
James Mattis, the current Secretary of Defense, was an Military assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Defense during Kosovo. So literally the same person from the 90s is in a key leadership position now in the Military.
Ooohhh my favourite game of all time. I loved this game, I almost missed my university exams for this. I know a friend of mine who actually didn't speak to his girlfriend for a couple of weeks since he was playing the game.
I think you're talking about Malarone. It only gets rid of malaria in the red blood cells. Oftentimes it is prescribed in concert with other medications, like primaquine or something for that reason. In any case, malaria can infect you despite having taken Malarone. It can come back, or even persist, after having taken Malarone.

It's a good treatment, but malaria is a persistent little devil.
I always thought that was a feature. Problem is, it eventually lagged the game though.

The carry-all bug I knew as well. You could also edit some file (I think an *.ini or that was C&C?) to change in-game variables such as how much money you had.

One thing you could do with early Westwood RTS is save game regularly. Then you knew where they'd attack, load game, and put turrets or mobile defense there. You could do this to defend against stuff like Devastator, Deviator, Sonic Tank, harvesters, attacks, just anything really. But I mainly used it on the last level against Death Hand (in C&C against Nod's nuke and Ion Cannon though I don't remember the latter being as annoying).

As for the tip building concrete to enemy base or defense points: later levels included too much sand for that tactic. You needed MCVs, or just couldn't because the enemy wouldn't get near your choke point. I very much loved the rocket turrets because you didn't have to move vehicles to repair bay but when enemy gained Death Hand he destroyed my turrets and therefore defense. For the rest game was very easy. Only the later levels were somewhat difficult, till those you could mostly just turtle and win.

Of course you couldn't even multi select with mouse (that was introduced in C&C and WC2).

When I was about 10 the son of my father's friend downloaded this game from a BBS at TUe (same university where the Twilight CDs came from) via a modem. He put it on some floppies for me. I don't think the game ran on our 80286, but I was able to play it on the P1/75 MHz in 1995 provided I booted into MSDOS instead of OS/2. OS/2 ran bugger all, always OOM.
Again, nothing changed on that front. There are two answers to your comment:

- Yes they were. If you violated the law, even if your servers are outside, the country would claim the violation happened in their territory because the subject was in their country so the law was violated there, and they can sue you.

- Neither is GDPR. If you are outside the EU, they can't force you to pay a fine like your own government can. Without enforcement, the law doesn't really apply. (See GDPR from 2016 until now.)

Which one applies depends on a bunch of things, such as whether there's an extradition treaty and whether you have offices in the EU, etc. I've never gotten a straight answer on which law rules in such cases, but that's probably because there is no single ruling case. Both are sovereign states, who supercedes is not codified in any law because there is no higher instance to appeal to.

I mean, if a small island state makes a law that if one of their citizens visits another country, that country should pay tribute for the honor of being visited by one of theirs, how in the world is that going to be enforced? Same with GDPR: the EU claims it applies worldwide, but the only reason that holds any truth is because you probably want to do business with EU citizens. Banning your company is the only thing they can truly do to you, and that has always been the case.
Conversely, there is also no way to standardize which solution to use to the extent necessary that developers could actually rely on it producing a consistent experience across a large user-base.

You don't need standard behaviour, you just need _good_ behaviour. And if every browser does that differently, but it's appropriate to the network speed and processing capabilities, then as a dev the issue of "making sure images load appropriately" becomes as irrelevant as "making sure your webfont actually loads" has become in the modern browser landscape.
There was also a generational dynamic: The 19th century saw the rise of a founder generation, who pretty much defined bourgeoisie in Austria. This also gave rise to a variety of literary, artistic minded and intellectual salons, which provided in turn a chance for artists, literates, etc to shine. The next generation, the founders' offsprings growing up in this kind of environment, was naturally oriented towards these ideals, but, at the same time, with a need to revolt against this bourgeois environment of the salons of their mothers. If not artists and/or intellectuals in their own right, they provided for a solid landscape of eager and potent patrons. (Wittgenstein, who donated his share of the heritage of a major steal empire to a magazine, the Brenner, to be forwarded to artists of the choice of the editor, may serve as an example.) However, there was also a need to revolt against the last revolt, which had become the bourgeoisie's darling since. E.g., the Secession was revolting against a prior revolt, the Künstlerhaus. "Jung Wien" (young Vienna), a literary movement populated by the first generation of offsprings of the bourgeois salons, became soon the target of the next cohort of intellectuals like Karl Kraus, and so on. A dynamic, always enforced by – and in turn reinforcing – the genuine Viennese angst of anybody gaining recognition too easily.

I live in Barcelona and while I personally love the Superilles, many of the locals who live near/in them hate them. They all say it's a huge inconvenience. That said, as a Canadian coming from one of the most car-centric cities in Canada (Calgary), anything that focuses on not driving is refreshingly wonderful.
I'm not a PHP person so I ask this question out of ignorance: how does a project like this compare to Facebook's work from a few years back of compiling PHP code to C and then to binary?
Wow, this is a lot more in-depth than I was expecting. I started out with the O'Reilly book (Hands-on Machine Learning)[1]. There's some overlap there, but I'd say both this course and the O'Reilly book are well worth your time if you're starting out with machine learning.

The problem is, it's not a handful of companies, it's a few hundreds or even thousands, which makes rigorous laws sensible.

Google, Facebook, Twitter have a roster of the web pages you have viewed, whether you interacted with them or not.

Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and every other phone company has a complete log of your location history (for mobiles), message & call history, and unencrypted browsing history. They have no need for it to provide service (beyond the month or two in which these actions occured), but they do sell it to third parties, the list of which you have never seen.

Your credit card company does the same with your credit transactions.

This is already 30 companies or so, just in the US, and it is just the tip of the iceberg.

GDPR says "a person's data is their own property", which is easy to understand and enforce. You may not like it, but it's along the line of copyrights and trademarks, except the beneficiary is mostly the common man.
> Because you don't have to believe them or even trust them, it's maths

That is not true, the only way we know how to assess a cipher's security is to basically attack it and add a margin of security on top of the best attack you find. If the NSA has built its cipher on top of a flaw that only they know, and if third party research hasn't found the flaw then we're doomed.

Part of being a good leader (IMHO) is realizing you’re going to be spending time mitigating the actions of others who derail progress, for whatever reason (intentional & unintentional). You are the tip of the spear, blocking the impediment of progress for those who report to you.
Ridiculous.
