Great, but until they have an SLA for OEM updates, and a way to punish OEMs for not shipping updates on time, nothing will change. Android One already proved Google isn't willing to fight that battle. Further, 18 months worth of guaranteed updates just makes it blatantly obvious what lifetime to expect from an Android phone. It's extremely frustrating.

While you’re right, this is a point to me which made me choose PIA over competitors. I like when companies give back to open source communities.

I think one of these may have been meant to say left!
I can vouch for the DNN results. I took data from Kaggle and tried training networks with different approaches. Was not able to get prediction any better than 54% (which I am pretty sure would be biased as well). Later on while inspecting data and looking at dips and rises turns out external events (govts banning crypto or a price crash due to other reasons) was causing price drops or surge, my conclusion was if you need to predict anything you need to be aware of these external factors.
Angel's docs have a fresh, new look (Dart language)
If you require the output to be the shortest possible (e.g. 0.1+0.11 should print as “0.21”, not as “0.21000000000000002”) and to have your output round-trip (if you read in what you printed, you get back the number you printed) I would think printing floating point numbers is harder than writing a pretty-printer.

Pretty-printers have the advantage never being finished, as there always are cases where some people would say “I would format that differently”. That’s an advantage because it also means you can declare any version that works decently “finished”. For formatting floats, it’s much more black or white. Your formatter either works or it is buggy.

The first working formatter for floating point numbers is from 1980, IIRC, and doing it correctly only became somewhat the expected case after Steelers 1990 paper (https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gcl-devel/2012-10/pdfk...)
>Is it not obvious that politicians don't want to bust their biggest (potential) campaign contributors for GDPR violations?

In the UK, campaign contributions are almost completely irrelevant. Political parties can spend no more than £46,000 per candidate at each election. Our major parties literally have more money than they can spend. Most European countries have similarly strict campaign finance legislation.

>Isn't it obvious that we don't have any more privacy now than before GDPR, because governments are still spying the shit out of us all?

Corporate data mining and political surveillance are somewhat distinct issues. Here in the UK, government agencies have relatively broad powers to collect and use data on citizens. In Germany, privacy rules are extraordinarily strict. As long as member states are abiding by the ECHR, it's a matter for their national parliaments.

>In light of that, is it not obvious that GDPR's real goal is something other than improving our privacy?

No.

>Do you genuinely think governments (or EU bureaucrats) actually care about us or our privacy?

Some politicians are obviously pro-surveillance. Some are strongly pro-privacy. That's sort of how democracy works - a democracy where all politicians agree on everything isn't much of a democracy at all. There are major differences of opinion between member states and within member states, differences of opinion between parties and within parties. There are three parties in Germany's current coalition government, all of whom have significantly different policies with respect to privacy.

>And gosh, it sure makes it more difficult for small businesses to stay viable, and wouldn't it be nice for big corporations to have fewer potential competitors/disruptors around?

GDPR has little or no impact on a large proportion of small businesses, because their businesses don't depend on the processing of personal data. If your data processing operations are small-scale, straightforward and legitimate, it isn't hard to comply with GDPR. Some small businesses have been significantly impacted, mainly because they have been flagrantly disregarding the Data Protection Directive for many years. Most of the GDPR isn't new, it's just the old data protection laws with credible powers of enforcement.

The changes made by the GDPR are mostly updates to reflect the changing nature of personal data processing. The Data Protection Directive came into force in 1995. At that time, nobody really anticipated the sheer scale and pervasiveness of personal data harvesting that the internet would facilitate.

That seems significantly less complicated to me. After all, you're presenting the same overall concepts explicitly and without concatenation. The concept of "big words are scary" in much of our modern education is one that I have difficulty in understanding; a word should be judged on the complexity of its meaning rather than its spelling or pronunciation.

No, there are actually experts that we should rely on. Of course no economist is a perfect predicter- predicting the future is hard.

Tom Nichols’ book The Death of Expertise is relevant here.

——

As for your specific points:
- Paul Krugman, on his major predictions, has been incredibly prescient. He was talking about media bothsidesism, a major reason for this political moment, in 1999. He said America was being lied into war in Iraq in 2002. He predicted the effects of stimulus in America and Europe. The guy is a genius and so he becomes a target for his political enemies. (Re the stock prediction: he withdrew this in a few days. It was a minor prediction. The predictions above were long term predictions.)
The issue is that conservative economics has been captured by the conservative propaganda machine which amplifies minor corrected predictions like this while ignoring the huge long term mistake that the right’s “economists” made about inflation in response to stimulus.

- The business cycle causes recessions, yes. Not sure what you mean by economic policy. But both monetary and fiscal (tax) policy has big effects on entry and exit from recession. And also public debt affects provision of public policies like the social safety net.
That depends - do you still remember to look for the helpers?

Invading other countries and also elected an orange buffoon as their leader.

Anyway, my comment is that I still need to use CLI for some things, ie. Git merge squash, so while the GUI apps are good learning tools for git in general, you still need to Google things for CLI consumption if the GUI doesn't support it and you're not a git expert.

Toolchains are plagued by pseudo-GUIs - graphical overlays that don't actually abstract a CLI. Git is perhaps the most resistant thing ever to GUI-izing. I don't believe it can be done in a way that doesn't disappoint.

That’s not the story I heard from the finance people who were setting up the securitization.

I agree with your broader point: government policy is complex, we need a regulated market system because completely free markets don’t work, so we need a high skilled government that tries hard to get things right — and a legislative system that cares about the government functioning well.

Very unbiased. Like some ppl already stated: There is no human or human-constructed machine which can be without bias.

The thing is that many people just don't trust those big entities anymore as we know for sure they do nothing without focusing on their biggest goals as globally operating companies:
- maximize profits
- make other companies and consumers depend on you / your products to force your own rules on them when they can't leave that easily anymore

The fact that M$ tries to appear to be "open source friendly" feels like a strategy to soothe peoples anxieties. It's the same like Googles "don't be evil" - they aren't stupid and know that we [the ppl] watch their steps and react accordingly.

That's true, but the original idea of Unix is to have many small program invocations work together, not to erect a monolithical long running daemon that does it all in a single address space. Memory management for one-shot command line apps isn't hard at all and can often get away with static allocations. Even if you're screwing up your heap, process isolation will take care of recycling memory when your program terminates.

Over the past year, I've been porting my GIS project over to Rust (https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools). I'm sitting at over 100k lines of Rust code now. My experience with the language has been very good and, in particular, its concurrency support is extremely productive and aligns well with the spatial algorithms that I work with. The one thing that I wish for, however, is a better GUI story.

As far as I am aware, automated trading often works with much shorter intervals, in the milliseconds range. The traditional stock trading industry also does not only look at the price history, but also at planned buy and sell orders in the books and even news and social media sentiment analysis. Perhaps prediction methods that also use these strategies would produce better results, especially given that the crypto market has been in such a chaotic flux between 2015 and 2017.

Which Is the Best for Privacy and Encryption
Two points. Would be nice if there was an AMI on AWS for this stack.

Second point. We do a lot of RESTful microservices. Which might be good for this in the sense that with C you would want to keep your code small (cause no classes and manual mem-management). But what people do not always appreciate at first about microservices is that you need to rely heavily on libraries (either custom or external like Spring Security) to handle cross cutting concerns, else you are writing the same code multiple times. Essentially if you write a peice of code that you expect will go on more than one microservice, then it should go into library. So my concern is how easily would it be to create custom libraries to deal with cross cutting concerns like logging, and security in this stack, AND does C ecosystem offer external libraries for dealing with these common concerns that a modern RESTful microservice would encounter?

> Wow. 1,959 detections out of 10^21 interactions. And they talk about statistical significance. In any other field that is so close to zero you would ignore the results.

1959/1e21 is not the measure of the significance in the study though. That total of 1e21 interactions is split into different types of behaviors (based on theory and previous results). It's deltas on those categorized interactions and comparisons with noise/background models/characterizations that are used to assess the statistical significance of the 1959 events. I am not saying this has to be a true result and not a statistical fluke, but 1959/1e21 is not the "sigma" of this experiment.

Twitter and Facebook are used frequently to track down foreign combatants to be killed. Should people who work there be shamed as well?

In fact, those social media sites have been used to manipulate foreign militant uprisings and sway political discourses (whether in the U.S. or in other countries).

Also, people who worked on GPS technology are directly responsible for the GPS-guided missiles that have been fired into Syria and other parts of Middle East. Should those people be ashamed as well?
Yup. This was an incredibly consequential decision in the US to use stimulus. And it validates the idea that Keynesian stimulus has value.

(And it’s useful to go back in 2008-2011 and see what different economists were saying about stimulus and inflation. There was a big partisan divide.)
VPN vs. Proxy vs Tor which is best for Privacy
hello hackers,

I am confused between choosing between VPN vs. Proxy vs. Tor. In order to remain anonymous. One of my friend has become cyberstalking victim.

She recommend to use VPN.

I have created poll for this purpose. Choose the one you like the most .

So one one participated in the poll. Anyways I wanted the answer. So I started searching.

And founded this article while searching which argues that VPN is the best choice for complete privacy.

My most fav was tor but since many services are blocked when using tor. like gmail, google and even facebook.

While it is interesting to discover that things we deem obscene are permitted, and sometimes occur, and that the occurrence of something as severe as a ten year old marrying their rapist is non-zero, it is very dishonest to discuss these things without statistics.

These articles often start with specifics of the most obscene cases, then should they ever get to frequencies, conflate many not-as-severe or irrelevant cases, to bolster the appearance of severity. E.g. a statistic might include marriages where either party is under 18 years.

Because React doesn't manipulate the DOM directly you're leaving every convention and tool about DOM manipulation behind, which means that the moment you want to do something more complex than composing components you either have to re-invent the wheel or use the brand new wheels that somebody re-invented.

React is brilliant but makes simple stuff that no one was thinking on anymore hard and complex again. So if you don't want to think about how to handle an AJAX request and an animation like it's 2004 you can just slap a library on top of React(and worry about the page size and loading strategies).

React is a statement, a revolution, it is about disowning the old Web and building it from scratch.
