I met Milo one time. We had a few beers and discussed an investment opportunity.

When he isn't playing his troll persona he is actually a very intelligent and reasonable person.
The number and variety of excuses car drivers will make to continue with their selfish activity is really impressive. I guess it comes form the ability to ignore the 50,000 deaths a year due to cars, the horrible companies they help fund, the many more deaths due to pollution, the destruction of cities and suburbs due to roads etc... To even consider driving you have to be a completely selfish scumbag. I can't see any other way about of thinking about it.
I have. Much like the GDPR, it's some great ideas that are being slandered by a bunch of people who are deeply invested in selling user data.
If you want to lay Italy’s economic problems on geography you probably have to explain why it wasn’t a problem for the Roman Empire or Renaissance city states.
I never used my twitter account because it was obviously all branding and marketing in a public facing way in the 2000s.
Early startups aren't paying that well, and they're usually in very high cost of living areas.
How is it that one guy can be punished for insider trading, yet the executives responsible for exposing the business to one of the largest data breaches in history get off with just a slap on the wrist.

Ignorance or negligence behavior when it comes to implementing and maintaining cyber security controls over PPI is not good enough, and the culture needs to change.
What happened in the interview where you owed money? I've never heard of anything like that
That's the depressing part. I usually shop at Meijer because they were the last grocery left without annoying loyalty cards. As of this year, I've began receiving in the mail coupons for specific items I'd bought there. So either my credit card company has sold my data, or it was 'stolen' when they scanned my license to buy beer at some point(they require scanning the license, not DOB entry). I'm tired of this.
Nobody needs to do those things, they choose to do them.
I just looked up that cases' official press release:

https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/201...

I also looked up some additional explanations.

That case literally does not support the claim you make. The court decided that:

* dynamic IPs can be considered personal info if the entity collecting them has legals means to get additional information related to that IP (these legal means exist in Germany, if the entity believes they are being cyberattacked)

* furthermore, the court noted that this particular law is more restrictive than general EU law (which eventually becomes GDPR, as far as I understand: http://germanitlaw.com/patrick-breyer-v-federal-republic-of-...)

* according to the less restrictive law though, "The operator of a website may have a legitimate interest in storing certain personal data relating to visitors to that website in order to protect itself against cyberattacks"

* and this opened up the question as to which law should be followed in Germany, at least until GDPR comes into play (again, see explanation in http://germanitlaw.com/patrick-breyer-v-federal-republic-of-...)

* note then that: this issue is no longer an issue (since GDPR is in play now) and that GDPR actually allows the collection of dynamic IPs if the entity needs to do this to protect from cyberattack
You’ve got blue dogs precisely backwards. They were culturally right wing and economically liberal for the most part— southern leftovers from the new deal.
I don't believe a single word you've said, and flying drones where fire helicopters are trying to contain the fire is literally the definition of "Fuck you, I've got mine."
Agreed that you should speak to multiple accountants ASAP.

If you have made 6 months of W2 income in California, you are a tax resident there for ALL transactions occurring in 2018. Simply getting a driver's license in NV in August or something doesn't negate this.

If you haven't received any W2 income in California, then hm.... I think you could perform the transaction in Nevada.

Also, if you have bank interest or stock income in california, this is also impacting your tax residency.

Good luck and congrats!
I'm the guy no one wants to hear from about computational biology.

I think the distinction is misleading. Teach programming, but do it with purely biological cases. Strip down the real tasks into simplified forms, and give them very specific tools where they have to have them.

You can't unwrap BLAST in a first course, but you can have them find exact matches. That can be used to find restriction sites, and have them generate simulated electrophoresis gel patterns. You can have them do read depth counting in RNAseq with exact matching on a single stranded virus genome (so they don't have to worry about reverse complement matching). It throws away a lot of reads, but you're not missing anything fundamental.

You can't do full molecular dynamics, but you can do wiggling polymers on a 2D lattice and relax them. Likewise, you can do a simple version of threading an amino acid sequence through a known 2D structure on a lattice and relax it.

You can't do sophisticated phylogeny, but you can brute force assemble small trees with substitutions and no indels, and you can likewise evolve and sample trees of sequences with substitution, and then have the students evaluate how well their tree reconstructions match the generating algorithm. Then take a subregion of a set of real 16S sequences without indels and have them build a tree of those.

You can't do full metabolic network modeling, but you can do a simple stochastic transition model of a couple of pathways and use it to make predictions about genetic experiments. See Hatzimanikatis's work for some interesting things to do with this.

I spent some time thinking about this when I was part of the Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics, and we put together a course de perfectionnement about programming practice for computational biologists. They finally ran the course after I left the country (they weren't waiting for me to leave, honestly, it just didn't get scheduled until then), and I'm told it went well.
I'm sure Apple does too, the only difference is they test internally and squash them before the public knows about them rather than letting them fail in the marketplace.

... and speaking of criminality in fine art, let's not forget forgery which is and always has been a booming business. Or, as the ribald saying goes, "During his lifetime, Savador Dali created 1500 lithographs, 3000 of which are in galleries in Monterey." Who knows how many forgeries are on record as stolen originals.

How were the prior top search results not relevant before? Either google and others are lousy or relevance means something different to you than most other people when searching for your name.
That and the war on drugs...
Why do you think this can be stopped ? Think it through.

You can't stop data loss until you can guarantee platform security. You can't do that until you prevent developers from creating bugs and security flaws in the first place. You can only do that unless you have either perfect tools to catch all the issues or a perfect testing regime.

It's basically an unsolvable problem.

Prince (commercial) is outstanding, and supports a wide array of issues specific to printed media.
Fatalism is a big part of the problem. But what he says is also largely true, particularly when it comes to long-term homeless. So another big part of the problem is people denying that truth.

We do need to provide "free homes" but we also need to coerce acceptance of assistance.

The ZX81 was available in the US - I have one we bought as a kit way back then. I believe we bought by responding to this Sinclair ad in Byte magazine:

That's a defeatist attitude. If you make companies liable for this, they'll start paying more attention to security. I'm not a trained security expert, but did have to explain this year why not to store plain text passwords in a database. Security is seen as secondary to product across the board. We need penalties to change this.
Honestly, it comes down to pay, and whether I get to go home at a reasonable hour. Also, what the company culture is like.
If people took their medication properly, healthcare costs would lower dramatically - on the tune of $300 billion. Pill pack's medication packaging increases proper medication use thereby lowering health costs. This purchase gives Amazon an entry into online medical pharmacy and a solid method to lower health costs. Further,Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart show that people are likely to buy lots of non-prescription products when getting their prescription so this purchase will likely boost Amazon's general commerce business as well.

GDPR doesn't specifically state that though. If a country in the EU choose to make an example of my company for whatever reason would would be preventing them from doing that?
Why do people think that there should be a separate distribution for different classes of user? I never really understood that. The community is thin, fragmentation is bad, setting up a server for workload X should consist of installing ports A, B, C, not installing FrankenBSD!
Facebook randomly began notifying several friends every time I "liked" something they were opposed to -- finally addressed the resultant unfriending in person only to find out that the FB algorhythm decided to create its on brand of contentiousness among users. Does anyone think this was an accient?
I wrote a book about it. :) See elsewhere in the comments.

The framework is a little more than a theory. The basic unit is some kind of trial (experiment, observation), which is an attempt to adequately approximate an idealized trial. Whether that approximation is adequate is a matter of reasonable practice in a given time and setting. Trials produce values of some kind of primitive notion: a velocity, a drawing of a typical dandelion. Then you construct a formal system (a theory) that recapitulates the values of primitive notions that emerge from trials.

History and musicology certainly fit this.
> In addition, Europe is no longer a market one launches in simultaneously with the U.S. and Asia for most foreign businesses.

Since that's a broad statement, would you care to back it up?

> I see Facebook and Google gaining market share and failing to change their behavior. In addition, Europe is no longer a market one launches in simultaneously with the U.S. and Asia for most foreign businesses.

Are you saying that Facebook and Google are not GDPR compliant, and that furthermore, the EU doesn't care that they are not GDPR compliant?
Do you ever feel "bad" about cutting corners early on to push a product but now others are working on the the same codebase? I have this feeling constantly.
The credit card info is called "level 3 data" and they in some cases have line item by line item detail. Not just "spend $24.89 at Meijer store #349" but each individual thing, e.g. you bought 2 avocados.
Why the assumption that the EU won't side with you, and will definitely only side with the person making the claim? Certainly, if you're compliant, there's a very good chance that you'll get off the complaint, yeah?
Perhaps someone should write an "8 bit shell" for the Pi, something curses-based, with a selection of programs available to run, a limited view of the filesystem, and with a programming REPL built in.

Vermont and Wyoming are highly functional stasis economies.

They are not growing leaps and bounds and don't have vast concentrations of power and industry.

But yes, they are not good examples.

As you point out - Vermont and Wyoming are more like Scandiavian countries - small, well managed, not growing.

I don't know what a Spain analogy would be in the US? Maybe a Souther State like Mississipi? i.e. very traditional, not hugely functional, talent leaves, but they're stable enough ...
As I understand it, people had to only gain consent for email lists if they had never gained consent previously.
Weird to see this article doing the rounds again. I've spent a fair amount of time with Alex (climbing, doing jigsaw puzzles, etc). He's totally normal, just strong, motivated, and disciplined. Nautilus publishes a lot of pseudoscience that wouldn't be accepted in a peer-reviewed journal, and this is perfect example. A claim of reading personality based on fMRI study of a single person's brain, which shows slightly different bloodflow amounts in a particular place. NB: I haven't talked to him about this article so don't know what his opinion is on it.
oh my goooosh this is amazing. See: https://blog.codinghorror.com/heres-the-programming-game-you... and specifically http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2014/01/rob...
I was given the hotel to stay at, and directions that I didn't need a rental car just to use a taxi or uber/lyft. In my city I've had bad experiences with Uber, so asked the hotel to arrange a taxi for my interview needs. It was a small SUV. The driver was nice, knew the company I was interviewing at, said he does these interviews all day, knew exactly where to go, was waved in by security and knew exactly where to drop me off. Three rides, plus tip, was a bit expensive, but I figured hey it's the bay area. It was a good distance from the airport. Although my receipt was basic, it listed a taxi company. The company I interviewed for told me it's not a real taxi company but a private driver service and they will not pay it.

Actually, typing this again made me a bit mad. It was Facebook, who spent the majority of my free day there showing me all the lavish offerings. I actually really liked the people there I met, well most of them. I was very upset by the message they had sent me. I am but a clueless guy from the midwest. They picked the hotel and said get a taxi. I asked the hotel if they'd help with a taxi, and they took care of it. How am I to know it's not a real taxi company?
This is an anecdote but my guess is a lot. I was a software engineer for a decade and recently transitioned to a bioinformatics job. A cursory look at many of the repos that supplement published papers (even in top journals like Nature), will show you that there are often no tests or type documentation of any kind and quite often you'll find bugs when you use packages with your own datasets. So to the OP I would recommend either teaching fundamentals first or concurrently--but don't skip fundamentals!
Actual rich people benefit. Highly leveraged “rich” suffer.

I have an acquaintance who is a big landlord. The housing crash was literally the best thing that ever happened to him. He literally bought dozens of properties all of the place because he sits on big piles of cash and has generous credit lines backed by his cash flow.

My guess is that he spent about $10M and netted at least 3x from the 2008 crash.

Modularity in every industry is 3-10 times more expensive than monolithic commercial products, and this is no exception. I can buy a metal bed frame for $40 at Walmart, or buy ~10 $40 pieces to make my own. It's the price you pay for having flexible parts.

The synthesizer world knows this well, where a $3000 modular synthesizer is required to build a patch for a $300 portable synthesizer, although you gain flexibility with the modular version.
FYI $1k / month in Australia would be extremely difficult to live comfortably on.
Private firefighters are real, no matter how rude you choose to be.

The trend of power consumption is no different between GPUs and ASICs. Either way, miners will always be competing to add more and more capacity.
Nope. I've logged in. Registered. I'm a paying customer, using it in production, and there's no visible way to generate a sandbox key, except 'go to plus'.

From their docs: https://developers.taxjar.com/api/reference/#sandbox-environ...

* Sandbox Environment

TaxJar provides a sandbox environment for automated testing and development on all TaxJar Plus plans. After generating a sandbox API token, point your API client to the sandbox environment...

There is no sandbox API available without 'plus'. Perhaps you had an earlier version and are grandfathered in?
No, Nautilus is a beautiful and interesting publication, but it's a pseudo-journal where people publish stuff they can't get into a real journal.

If you have negligible EU revenue and no intentions of changing that, it makes no sense to expend any effort on complying with GDPR.

Blocking EU users is a smart business choice to avoid any possible legal issues and far easier than compliance.

> The regulator interprets the gap. "Planet-sized gap" means the regulator can choose to be lenient or capricious based on their own preferences. That kind of uncertainty is anathema for modern businesses. (It's also beneficial to those who pay to build relationships with said regulators.)

This is classic anti-regulation BS. I would like to see a regulation which did not have this issue brought up against it. Heck, isn't this the core of the anti-regulation camp? Clearly though, regulations have not destroyed the world...
I agree, it is really unfortunate that even people within the software development profession take these issues so lightly.

I personally never encounter that. However, there is a breaking stuff in this release: await and async are now keywords. This means that although they were part syntax we could make variable variables with these name until 3.6 but now it is not allowed.
I agree but I would say mix the tool teaching with fundamentals. Let them bang away for an hour trying to make some simple change to their tool script, and then show them the principle that had they known about they could have solved their problem in 30 seconds.

Reasonable means for example, this: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/201...

Dynamic IPs were considered as possibly being personal info, since a law existed which could allow an entity to connect dynamic IPs they have connected to other information (from an ISP), if they believe that connections from the dynamic IP are undertaking cyberattacks against them. Proto-GDPR actually considered collecting dynamic IPs in this case reasonable, and it was a specific German law that was more restrictive. The main question thus became: should proto-GDPR be used, or the existing more restrictive German law? Going off topic though. Point is that "reasonable" is used not as a mathematically precise definition, but in a human language sense of "reasonable". If you don't get what reasonable means, then I am sorry to say that in the case of law, you will generally have to suffer what most people consider to be reasonable in spirit.

In other words, you have a problem with all laws in general, since they are not nearly precise enough for you.
That somehow seems like a tenuous argument, especially when talking about tech companies, when one looks at examples like Satya Nadella (MS) and Sundar Pichai (Google) who’re both Asian - and 1st generation at that. In the case of FMCG type companies, I’d actually agree with you, but in tech the evidence indicates otherwise.
Well my point was that, the confidence of not having serious new competition encourages even further investment, beyond the alternative. This is because their future returns are more predictable.
