The problem is that you can use data an infinite amount of times, but spend money only once.

Data are facts, money is a repository of value. With a bank, you are the customer. With marketing, you are the product.
HA! No, all crypto valuations only include the free float in the market! Check out coinmarketcap.com , the leading "valuation" site, and notice that it only counts circulating supply, no matter how small a percent it is to the total supply.

All metrics related to "crypto total market cap" are based on dubious circulating supply metrics, when the reality of this is many times higher, even though it is an accounting nightmare regardless.

Next up, most coins actually did sell all of their free float / circulating supply in exchange for a more liquid currency.

So yes, the $50million projects actually received $50m in usd/btc/eth AS WELL AS granted themselves a sliver of the new currency, akin to private equity and every share company ever.

It is double plus good, and scammers are currently walking away with that. But if they are smart, they make their new coin valuable because an even greater windfall awaits and then that means it isn't a scam project at the current threshold of legitimacy.

Meat is easy for me, I just head to the butcher that’s next to the shops. Not only is it cheaper and higher quality, but the only plastic used is the extremely thin bag they wrap the meat in, and they’re happy to use paper instead if you bring it!
It seems like the biggest issue with GDPR is that it’s comes from Europe and not the US? Historically speaking, Europe has in many issues come to agreement on technically solutions and industrial standards many years ahead of the US.

For example, Europe was first on texting on the mobile network while the US (single country) took years to come to a standard.

I think it will be the same with regards to GDPR. You (US) will discuss this for years and come up with a different law.
> so not necessarily super accurate.

Even worse. Many people say they “don’t have anything to hide” because they too haven’t considered the vast consequences regardless of having something to hide. For starters, when the data is inaccurate, you might have something to hide that even you didn’t know about, and it could be responsible for all sorts of events and opportunities in your life both public and private without you even knowing. Things that give you an different life experience than your friends to an unknown degree. This sort of lack of knowledge, control, deprivation of explanation or closure etc. would be the lived experience of chaos and it’s one of the most frightening parts.

Supercomputers are expensive because of the investment in interconnect & i/o bandwidth & latency.

So using one for a trivially parallelizable, low-communication task like crypto mining would be wasteful - very low bang for the buck.

(There are other cryptanalysis workloads that benefit though, eg parallel number field sieve).
But inflating away the debt simply defers or masks the underlying problems. The use of a consistent currency makes it easier to export your labor or goods, and makes it easier (practically and politically) for other countries to provide aid.

If they're acquiring the IP of your tech company, then it's possible that you won't personally have income until next year (when you liquidate your company). If you move this year then you could have no ties to CA during the relevant year.

You should do things like:

Give up your home here and get a home in NV.
Give up your drivers license here and get one in NV.
Change your vehicle registration
Change your voting registration
Track the number of days you spend in CA next year, and try to minimize it.

As others have said, the FTB (California Franchise Tax Board) may still come after you. I don't think this is terribly likely for a sum this size (no offense!). I know of a case — from back when I was a tax lawyer — where the FTB went after taxpayers who moved out of CA before having a huge (probably tens of millions) liquidity event.

At the time, I asked the partner handling the case how the FTB knew about this guy since the transaction happened after he left CA. IIRC, the answer was that they may track large published transactions and see if there are ties to CA. But since your transaction is much smaller, there's a good chance you wouldn't end up on the FTB's radar.

But even in the big case I described, the taxpayer won — and even got his attorney's fees covered by the govt because the FTB had been been overly aggressive in going after him. The lawyer in that case was Roburt Waldow [1]. It looks like that case is still the first one on his list of experience — probably because it's notable to get attorney's fees awarded. If you contact him, he'd probably give you his two cents free of charge (especially if you tell him you heard about him from his former colleague Nick).

I like how they justify it by claiming that the tweets were automated. How so? I saw lots of real humans complaining that their tweets were blocked.

I think the logic goes like this: "We wouldn't tweet that. Nobody we know would tweet anything like that. Therefore, this is not from real people." Maybe the Twitter employees need to get out a bit more, perhaps taking a lengthy visit to rural Oklahoma or West Virginia.

There may be some feelings of guilt here. To deal with that, just claim that the tweets aren't from real people.

Gdpr is very straightforward to comply with. Yes there are fines but you pretty much only get them at the end of an escalation process with plenty of opportunity to fix things. If your business was breaking the pre gdpr laws by doing things that were dodgy already, then, yes, this is now more likely to happen. That's a good thing.

As for legislation and jurisdiction, doing business internationally has always been complicated. Many big corporations have legal entities across the world and funneling revenue via the eu is a popular way to dodge taxes in the us. If you do business with such companies, that makes gdpr relevant for you even if you have no direct eu ties as these companies may be forced to reconsider their relationship with you otherwise. Think anything involving ad based revenue, e-commerce, and other sectors involving non trivial revenue from the EU.

Anyway, read the law text. It's surprisingly easy to find and digest and it puts all the idiots interpreting each other's interpretations a bit in perspective. Good summaries are available.

Security camera footage is overwritten and recycled on a regular basis.

As a matter of fact: If you operate secutrity cameras in a public -, or semi public place you need a written procedure why something is captured, what is captured, how long it's kept, who can see the footage and under which conditions the footage is retained.

"If not, why?"

Because this is not a reasonable request if the footage is anyway deleted after, say, 72 hours.

And it doesn't matter if I have an EU subsidiary and I declare a major country. Maybe your lawyer has a different opinion, but they tell me I shouldn't go hire the lawyer that says what I want to hear.
Announcing the new version of RentALLv1.6.0
Sentencing guidelines already do this, and it works terribly. The problem is not all crimes are created equally.

"Federal sentencing is generally based on intended or actual loss, whichever is greater. Further, the judge is allowed to take into account intended losses from his entire course of conduct, not just the intended losses from the specific counts on which he was found guilty."

Criminal A stole $50k from pensioners via confidence tricks.
Criminal B was engaged in a complex structure to shelter income; it was eventually ruled illegal and he was found to have avoided $50m in taxes.

These are both financial crimes, but by your logic Criminal B has done something a THOUSAND times worse than Criminal A, and thus if Criminal B gets sentenced for 5 years (a not-uncommon sentence for people convicted of large scale tax fraud) then Criminal A gets locked up for 44 hours.

Conversely if Criminal A gets sentenced to 10 years (a not-atypical sentence for that sort of crime), Criminal B gets locked up for 10,000 years? Or in other words, life without parol; a sentence we don't always hand out to murderers and rapists. For what is very likely nothing more than disagreeing with the IRS about how exactly a loophole in a very arcane law actually works?

By any reasonable metric, Criminal A deserves the harsher penalty. The face value of the amounts tells you very little about actual harm, culpability, chance of re-offending, etc.

I disagree with that. As long as you keep your bodyweight in check, and climb consistently, 5.12 will be in reach. I started climbing a year ago, am just edging in to the overweight range of BMI, and am leading 5.11b. I see lots of people leading in the 5.12s who are not elite by any measure.
That assumes they would sell to absolutely any group including terrorists, hate groups and sanctioned countries.

Information inequity. Whomever has access to this data had an advantage on 340M people, and opportunity to understand and influence them.

While I see your point, I wonder where to draw the line. Lisp has a stronger history of implementations that limit dynamicism.

Common Lisp as a standard is highly dynamic. Common Lisp as actually implemented and used is sometimes much less dynamic.

Does the existence of Cython mean that Python is a static language? Most python programmers will never use it so I would argue not.

> most train stations don't have gates

Minor stations lack gates, popular stations have them. We still get people avoiding fares, homeless people sleeping on seats, people who leave a lot of rubbish etc. But Sydney's modern Waratah trains would be the best I've tried compared to trains in Japan and France...well the Shinkansen is pretty cool but it's not your average commuter train.

> all the clubs in Sydney close at 3

Depends on where you are. The CBD has lockout-laws but a lot of the nightlife migrated to areas like Newtown where pubs and bars can close at 5am. I've noticed Melbourne is very CBD centric, whereas Sydney is similar to LA in that there are many satellite cities/communities that are the cultural hubs. I'd say some of the most boring areas in Sydney are the tourist traps, i.e. CBD/Circular Quay.
A fine and a lawsuit are very different things, especially with 340M people involved [even a $340M fine would only be $1/person]; fines don't usually go to the people injured by it, which would make sense with personal data being leaked. A fine also misses companies who are "doing what the law says" but still have some horrible flaw anyways. If you are _genuinely_ responsible for the data, meaning if something happens to it you are liable for it, then you often take more care of it above and beyond, than for simply complying with rules.

That's not the biggest issue that I have with the GDPR. In fact, I'm totally OK with someone doing a better job than the US at regulating privacy. However, I have some complaints about the GDPR, and there isn't very much discussion about the details; most people appear to think about it as "all or nothing" or "Europe good, USA bad" or "everything looks clear to me so what's the problem?" instead of discussing the details. You can see all of these opinions in this very discussion.
I found the law to be pretty clear

If you think this, you've misinterpreted it. I don't think even the biggest GDPR advocates would claim that it is "pretty clear".
For articles like this I often wonder this too. I don't know if it is developer Stockholm syndrome, a clever joke, or self-flagellation. It seems most articles on JS are aptly summarized as "here I am overcoming yet another critical defect of this poorly designed mess", which I suppose is laudable if you are forced to use JS all day.

ha hah aha no.

The regulatory system relies on leveraging financial institutions such as the brokers themselves to do the snitching.

So they may voluntarily freeze funds. But even if they don't there is another layer:

Administrative law judges.

These are employees at the federal agencies that are imbued with the power of the judicial branch and rubber stamp injunctions and "emergency asset freeze" orders from their bosses. And by boss I mean the private sector such as FINRA.

So typically the funds get frozen AND the SEC files charges against non-residents. They can get you in most places on the planet, and also wait till you go on vacation to most places on the planet.
(I'm a former kinda-good amateur climber who capped out at 5.12 on a (very) good day in my high school years, and who's related to a former national champion climber) (EDIT: 5.12 in a gym, not outdoors)

I won't speak for anyone else, but in my experience: if you hang out with truly world-class climbers, occasionally getting through a 5.12 doesn't feel impressive at all. Nobody's trying to make you feel worse, of course, but watching someone effortlessly nail something I sweated and struggled through permanently puts my opinion of myself in a strongly-caveated place. "Elite amateur" is a label that's very difficult to self-apply because you see the people who are in the tier(s) above you and it's impossible to not make the comparison. It was pretty motivating for a while for me but I think of myself as "just okay" (even at my best) at climbing because I know how high the ceiling is.

You cannot through experiments prove that the law of conservation of energy holds in all cases. Indeed you cannot through observation prove that any law of nature holds in all cases. But you only need a single counterexample to show that a law doesn't hold in all cases. This is exactly the rationale behind the principle of falsification. You cannot prove through observation that all swans are white. But you can prove that not all swans are white by a single observation of a black swan.

The bottom line is that it is possible to devise experiments or observations which would give different outcome if the theory holds and if the theory doesn't hold.

But you cannot devise an experiment which would give different outcomes if the universe is a simulation versus if it isn't. More specifically, you cannot imagine an observation which would prove that the universe isn't a simulation. Therefore it is not a legitimate scientific theory. At best it is a fun thought experiment.

This seems reasonable but there are some issues here as well. For instance it seems that if you gave somebody a huge amount of money, that they'd likely be able to pull themselves out of poverty. I mean, by definition, they are immediately placed in the upper or middle upper class. Unfortunately this has shown to be ineffective. For instance of all individuals who receive large windfalls of money, or win the lottery, some 70% [1] manage to end up bankrupt!

Giving money to people is not really enough to solve problems. We can see this same problem in our education system for instance. US education has been slipping quite severely by most metrics, yet we spend much more per student than most of anywhere in the world excepting something like 3 nations (Luxembourg, Switzerland, Norway IIRC).

While obviously the wealth of wealthy households is undoubtedly useful for child rearing, I think more important is the education that these households instill in their children. I grew up very poor and in an urban area. And I know that, undoubtedly, what helped me more than anything else was the 'Big Brothers and Big Sisters' program. I think the lessons and learning from there set me up for success far more so than having some money splashed my parent's way would have.

This seems like a viable scam opportunity.

Ship in a crate of counterfeit widgets to mix into their fulfillment pool. Price them stupidly high so they don't actually sell.

Wait a few weeks, to let the inventory churn. There's a fair chance some of your items will actually be shipped out, and many more will be so mixed with turnover from real sellers that it will be difficult to trace back to you.

Then pull the listing and ask for "your" inventory back. Odds are, you'll get at least some legitimate products back, which you can then sell elsewhere at a significant discount.

The math for it to be economic is interesting and likely varies on product price versus counterfeit price, and the rate at which inventory turns over.
I'm semi-anonymous: if you look hard enough you could find out, but the public at large doesn't care. So I think if you change your accounts, you can keep your viewpoints (keep expressing them) -- most won't make the connection.

There are 1TB prototypes but they aren't yet shipping. 128TB cards are probably decades away.
