I’m an entry level developer with skills in C++, Java, HTML, CSS, javascript, SQL, and Assembly. I’m one class away from an associates in Computer Science, and have completed all the core coursework for a CS Bachelors at James Madison University. I have extensive training in networking and security through the military.

I’ve worked with distributed teams in the past, where I taught myself Blueprints for Unreal Engine 4, animation through Maya, and how to establish an animation pipeline.

I’m open to travel, and possible relocation in the future.

It's really hard to know what exactly was asked of him by the letter and by whom. I get the nightmare letter scenario but is that the exact request he got?

Can he not extract all that user's data and delete if that is what is being requested?
The Center for Existential Risk does solid work on this. https://www.cser.ac.uk/

For estimating the likelihood of AGI, you can start with estimates from people in the field. Some say 0%, others say 80% chance in 50 years. Any way averaging of these produces a risk high enough to justify serious funding into safety research.
Thanks for calling this out.

There was fierce opposition to getting involved in all the wars that we now look back on as "just" - WW2 is the best example.
Congrads google activists you have hurt your employer's business and business prospects and prevented your colleagues from working on really interesting AI applications relegating their life's work to sorting photo albums.

Oh, and none of that will make a difference because a competitor of yours will pick up the slack and be in a position to offer really interesting work to attract and retain researchers.
Fair reply. Not representative of my surrounding, but it's a bias small sample.
Company culture is a thing, and like other cultures it doesn't require the original folks to keep it going once it has been established.

Intel has followed Apple into the rabbit hole of style over substance. I know so many people who want to do neural networks and they want to buy a mac and sorry you can't do that because Apple picked the wrong horse in the GPU race and it might be a few more years before they refresh their models.

Back in 1984 Apple released the first microcomputer that came without a software development kit. Since then it has all been about the computer using you than the other way around, a proud tradition of bay area companies such as Google, Facebook, Palantir, etc.
They could subsidize the effort with a TV show(someone call amazon), I know I would definitely watch an arms race between drones and crows.
There is precedent. Prior to Microsoft acquiring them, Xamarin was closed-source and licensing was $1000 per platform per year. At the Build conference in March 2016 Microsoft announced (1) that they were acquiring Xamarin, (2) that pricing would be dropping to zero, and (3) the Xamarin platform code would be open sourced as soon as possible after the acquisition.
It does not appear Discourse has any admin tools in place to deal with a GDPR request. A self-service user panel would be even better.

There is an open question whether posts would need to be deleted are just anonymized from the user account. Safer to delete of course.
I thought the "who" was referring to users, but you're saying it's referring to different google services, is that right?
Look, I really despise the government too, but...

The law has been proposed by the European Commission who is just nominated not elected.
I've been pondering the economics of this and wondering what they will end up charging.

Assumptions:

* $100k / car
* 250k miles / car before replacement (I'm assuming these aren't fleet vehicles which could go for longer)
* $3 / gallon for gas
* 30mpg
* 10k car / year of opex
* 250k miles / car / year

Per mile costs are:

* $0.10 for gas
* $0.40 for capex
* $0.04 for opex

For a total of about $0.54 / mile. The biggest win is likely getting vehicles that are fleet capable to reduce the overall cost / mile, followed by switching to the all electric vehicles like the i-Pace.
You think GDPR is great but you are angry at an EU citizen using the law as intended?
> The fact of the matter is that, in countries where the state gives you a lot, they generally take a lot as well. The money needs to come from somewhere.

The state gives a lot to you, when you're poor, and it takes a lot from you, later on after you're not poor anymore. Why do you think you should get to live in a nice place full of nice things paid for by other people, and not pay your own share? How is that morally different from spending the night in a hotel and then skipping out on the bill?
Rogue Binary Planets
By passing this on to Mozilla and discontinuing Tor Browser, you're going to inherit the innumerable issues in their code base. Wouldn't it be easier to hard-fork and create a simple browser with minimal overhead? It doesn't have to be loaded with features. Just minimalist and private.

Some anti-features that come to my attention off the top of my head:

* Biometric login (as of FF60)

* Dumb PR Stunts like Mr. Robot

* Telemetry

* Balrog (Analytics and browser fingerprinting on AmazonS3)

* Social API

* VR sensors

* DRM

* Google Chrome (large contract Mozilla has with them as they backport this into IPC)

* CloudFlare DNS (Department of Homeland Security partner and Tor arch-enemy)

etc...
Just to be contrarian: I’m not so sure if that’s a good thing... Data can be used for great things, e.g. longitudinal data in healthcare. I think seeing data as a liability might reduce the speed of progress

Much quicker than that if you invest it at 7% (average real return on the S&P 500).
Do the voters of the fringe parties think that it is to the detriment of the political environment? It sounds almost like saying those groups don't deserve representation because of a ideological difference, which is not a justification to deny a certain voting system.
That sounds like a possibly-less-time-in-jail-card.

Not sure what version this was added to but Discourse has an export button that individual users can use from their profile page.
> It's a shame no startup can disrupt the outdated tech that is traffic lights, which require people to stop, press a button and wait a minute in an intersection with no traffic going the way they're about to cross.

This technology already exists, city planners are the ones not rolling it out.

Many intersections in Vancouver, and its suburbs are pedestrian-controlled. If you push the crossing button, and there is no traffic, the light will immediately turn red, and let you cross.
As much as I dislike Donald Trump, I am willing to hold my nose here and suggest encouraging the Trump Administration to go full MAGA and direct Congress to pass laws explicitly stating that no foreign judgements or fines may be enforced on US citizens.
The right turning van is the most common form of bike/vehicle collision. The right hook is easy to anticipate and guard against, and every cyclist should be aware of the hazard.
>If there's a risk that someone could sue you over something, from a business perspective I have always been taught that you avoid it, period, until you get a lawyer.

Bad news: If you have a business, people can attempt to sue your business for whatever they want, and you might have to defend against it. There is nothing on the books that says lawsuits have to be reasonable before they can be filed, only that people who abuse the legal system get punished AFTER a court decides they're a moron.
We call this "provider-independent security" in capability theory; the idea is that a security guarantee, like privacy or confidentiality, is inherent in the construction regardless of who is providing the service.
Be sure to hit "YES" under the "Was this article helpful?" prompt.
Consider a scenario where you have a log file and in the log file is an IP address (172.217.5.14). You are not sure whose IP address it is. So you run the following commands:

# dig -x 172.217.5.14 +short

lga15s49-in-f14.1e100.net.

ord38s19-in-f14.1e100.net.

# dig lga15s49-in-f14.1e100.net. +short

172.217.5.14

# dig lga15s49-in-f14.1e100.net. +short

172.217.5.14

The first command (dig -x) checks the PTR record for the IP address 172.217.5.14. It returns two PTR records: lga15s49-in-f14.1e100.net. and ord38s19-in-f14.1e100.net.[0]. Those are subdomains of 1e100.net, which we know Google owns. However, you can set a PTR to pretty much whatever you want, so we now take an additional step as well. We run the dig command again to check the A records for the domains. This returns the same IP address we started with, which is good. Since Google controls the DNS for 1e100.net we can be reasonably sure that it is in fact a Google server. This is called Forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS) and is one tool you can use to determine the ownership of an IP address. For example, it is frequently used as a weight in email spam filters. Although, because of the intricacies of email, in that case it is usually not used for identification and instead used as a general purpose check to determine whether a mail server is rogue or not, since spam servers very often do not have proper FCrDNS.

There are other tools to determine who owns an IP address, like whois, but in some instances one will garner useful information and the other will not. So it's nice to have both at your disposal.

[0] As a side note: the trailing . in those PTR records returned by dig is not a typo. All domains actually end in a dot, it's just usually implied.
Emissions of banned ozone-eating chemical somehow are rising
I'm glad you are feeling such rightous indignation. I won't lie and tell you that I am not being entertained by watching the EU internet implode on itself.
In the US, that is no longer true. They can at least have a minimum, not sure if they can charge differently, but for small purchases it is effectively the same
According to his GitHub, he's in San Francisco. He's a US citizen living in the US. The EU can't touch him.
>You can also run Tor relays and help us improve the health of the network by working with Tor's new Relay Advocate

Since I've seen this come up before in many previous discussions of Tor I think it's worth emphasizing/clarifying up front: Tor relays are not the same as Tor exit nodes. Relays do not talk to the public internet, they serve only the full encrypted internal Tor virtual network. So they won't ever send out traffic from an IP under your control to some website or general Internet system (and in turn tie that IP in any way to spam/abuse/whatever, at least not for that reason). It's not necessarily hidden that it is acting as a relay, but the relay itself will have no knowledge of the traffic it's carrying.

Plenty of people have reasonable concerns about the risks/inconveniences that might come with acting as an exit node, but on both a legal and practical level there are many more jurisdictions where merely relaying encrypted traffic between other relays isn't a problem. And it's still quite helpful, both for network speed and because purely internal Tor Hidden Services do not need any exit nodes at all.
I"m not really a fan of the GDPR. I don't think it really protects privacy. I think it just uses the power of the EU, a fairly big and strong organization, to intimidate the rest of the world to comply with laws that it really shouldn't have legal jurisdiction to enforce globally. I think this is a scary precedent to set that the biggest bully on the block can de facto enforce such standards because the rest of the world is terrified of the consequences of standing up to them.

Isn't this the sort of thing people accuse the US of? The rest of the world makes ugly jokes about "Be careful what you say about the US or they might come liberate you too." The EU is now in the protection racket. When the mob says you should give us a few bucks because it would be a shame if something happened to your business, people recognize that is not nice behavior. But the EU can do the same on the web and some people laud it is a good thing for individuals in the name of personal privacy.

If you want none of your personal info on the web, I have a suggestion: Don't participate in forums, social media, etc.

(Yes, I am guilty of having this opinion without having actually read it. I blogged previously about my opinion this would do bad things to forums. I am shocked to see negative fallout happening so very soon.)
I've seen an implementation, but don't remember its name or how to find it again.

If I remember, I'll send an email to the address on your resumue.
such a presumptuous statement. Why proclaim you won't use a MSFT owned github, even as a hypothetical?
Microsoft has embraced Github with it's recent .Net core development, they are one of the largest contributors with some incredible cross platform dev tooling. C# is a pleasure and visual studio code is an excellent, extensible coding tool.

Go forth Microsoft, the standard bashing in these communities is unjust.
Great. There will be plenty of people willing to take Google's place.
One thing I miss from slashdot was the "from the ... department" or similar. In this case:

Why does nobody in this thread seem to realize that HAProxy works just fine over layer 4?
Yes, you can just block cloudflare-dns.com and this will stop working. As the article mentions, Firefox will fall back to normal DNS unless you set a hard-fail flag.

[Edit: firefox says they're using a different endpoint, but I'm assuming you can just block that too.]

Corporate intranets are used to configuring user desktops already. This is just another switch to flip.

I don't have to recompile a julia function every time I run it so long as I don't close my julia session. If I do need to close and reopen my julia session a lot for some reason, I'd just statically compile the function. In practice, one rarely needs to close a julia session and recompile functions and if one does do it occassionally, the compile time while a little annoying is not too bad.

Compile time will also be actively worked on to reduce it post 1.0 once all the breaking changes are done and pressing bugs are squashed.
Despite all the bluster to the contrary, in the US we avoid accepting responsibility for our actions at all costs. To the point that business schools now effectively teach that the correct strategy is to put your fingers in your ears, and yell "la la la" until somebody actually smacks you.
There are litigious people even here, though. Someone who has an axe to grind for whatever reason can keep annoying the DPA until they do go after you.
Don’t we still need a standard supercharging plug for electric vehicles?

It's not only the card network but also the infrastructure connecting the store to the card network. And the card readers themselves as well. I would say I am at least once a month in a store where, due to some incident, they can't accept electronic payments and have a sign 'card payments not working' on at least one checkout counter
They don't forbid charging a different price, or even advertising a different price; they only forbid advertising a surcharge for using a card. An advertised cash discount is acceptable. States may have further requirements, for example, California requires gas stations report credit prices in at least the same size numbers as cash prices, but enforcement is light.
I wouldn't use that as a primary example (allowing integers to overflow), because one of the great things about Julia is that it is incredibly easy to define your own types that will simply work, that for example, do checked arithmetic on integers (SaferIntegers.jl, I think is one, or don't want a limit (BigInt, which is included in Julia).
Julia gives the programmer the choice, and not only that, allows the programmer to create their own choices.

Yeah that's an interesting question about the line for GDPR and the right to be forgotten. If a user themself posts text onto a forum, I wouldn't consider that private information. If it's not private info, I wouldn't think they should be able to legally request it be deleted. That would be almost like an editor of a wikipedia article asking that it be removed. I wonder how GDPR applies.
This was linked to in the post: https://jacquesmattheij.com/so-your-start-up-receive-the-nig...

It is a request for a lot of information.
But "fringe" parties are also the parties to change the status quo, and it's not always (or often) a bad thing.

> If there's a risk that someone could sue you over something,

Which bit of GDPR introduces that risk?
Nobody will fine an open-source project that amount of money. The goal of GDPR is not to bankrupt anybody but to nudge them into compliance. If you aren't maliciously handling user data, you are not a target of high fines.
I guess you are convinced your generalization is sound in basis. Not everyone can afford to move closer to work, that’s a silly assumption. Big cities that lend well to public transportation are not affordable for everyone. You can’t always move closer to work, what if your spouse and you work on opposite parts of a region? I suppose next solution is one finds a new job or quits. Life’s not as simple as your naive point of view indicates.
The European Commission's members are sent there by the national governments. Elect another parliament/government if you don't like who yours did sent.
Well, an advertising company doesn't care about protecting your privacy from themselves as the threat. But protecting you from rival data-miners like unscrupulous ISPs could actually help their business model, if you want to look at things cynically.

And protecting DNS queries from local poisoning or outright censorship is the security feature. Having to resort to the 'easy,' non-boat-rocking encryption port of 443 is an implementation detail.
20 million is the max penalty for repeat offenders. See article 83 about fines being proportinate to the offense: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-83-gdpr/

This is a european thing, if any law says $x is the max fine or alike, then for a first time offense you usually get much less.
