Article 23 enables Member States to introduce derogations to the GDPR in certain situations.

Member States can introduce exemptions from the GDPR’s transparency obligations and individual rights, but only where the restriction respects the essence of the individual’s fundamental rights and freedoms and is a necessary and proportionate measure in a democratic society to safeguard.
There's quite a lot of quite shocking results with Immunotherapy Research when it comes to Cancer.

Which a lot of holistic doctors have picked up on and some clinics even treat cancer patients in.

Like this clinic in Japan: https://www.saisei-mirai.or.jp who have published several studies and papers on their treatments.

But yeah, why is it being ignored?
I fail to see why not having advertisement would lead to monopolies.
You're not entirely wrong, but it's important to be careful as well because the immigration authorities in the nordics are bureaucratic monsters. There are many examples of people being deported because of a mistake entirely out of their hands, such as an employer getting the wrong date on a form, or not paying salaries on time (which can easily happen if people don't have a bank account set up yet.) These things sound like they could just be corrected by sending the forms again or whatever, yet people are deported for the dumbest reasons.

These institutions need fixing, but it never seems to be a priority and most definitely not in the current political climate. :o(
Power structures shift in recessions. The political and economic seeds of a shift are being planted, by outgoing migration, investment and political support. These things have a habit of slowly drifting before coming to a loud succession of socioeconomic bangs within the months following a recession.
> It usually lacks a good story.

Then it's not generative art. Without the story, generative art is just procedural / computer generated art. And indeed because of the mass-production related reasons you name, that sort of art is less valuable.

Because why this particular instance, this random seed, and not the billions of others giving rise to similar-yet-not-similar artworks that never were? Without the story of the process, there is no answer to this question and it diminishes the value of the art to something that simply "looks nice". Maybe the story is just "because the artist randomly saw this particular one out of billions and decided they liked it enough" -- which isn't the best story, IMHO.

Generative art is really all about the process. You can have a camera on a plant, producing pseudo-random numbers that generate an image, video or sound. Now you have a story. You can do something similar but instead use the crowd of people walking past your art piece, and you have a different story. You can adapt the way it visualises so that it fits the story. But most importantly, you create a meaningful answer to the question "why this particular instantiation?"

It goes as far that the visualisation (or audio or whatever) can be relatively simple or unoriginal as long as the story behind it is REALLY interesting, you've got a great piece of generative art.

The reverse, however, is not. If you got a great visualisation, that is super intriguing to look at, yet the story behind it is merely an afterthought or almost non-existent, you've got a great piece of procedural / computer-generated art. It's not very good generative art if the process doesn't play a prominent role in the story. It might be nicer to look at, probably easier to sell because it looks nice and people are more likely to want to hang it on their walls. But making things because you want to sell them is craft (which is cool, if you want to make a living--of course you can do both).

> many art consumers will similarly buy when the story is right, and avoid art they love when it has a bad or boring story

What the hell is an "art consumer". If you want to sell something then yes, it's gotta have some utility value. That's what separates art from craft. I'm not sure how that's relevant. It sounds to me like your problem is with commercial exploitation of your art.

There's a certain arrogance in the statement that "art consumers" will avoid art they love if it has a boring story. Who do you think you are to decide for your audience what art they "really love" and what not. If you mean that they avoid art that they find like really, really PRETTY, but then avoid it because there is no story and it's just one instance out of billions of random seeds and value it appropriately, then that's a pretty superficial way to look at what it means to "really love" a piece of art.

Of course the story is important. The alternative is getting your craft up to the level that it outshines any possible lack of story.

The trouble often isn't picking the industry but figuring how to make money out of it. Like AI and self driving cars are obviously poised for growth but Google/Alphabet and other large companies are likely to dominate. And a lot of that is already priced into the stocks.

I remember Altman saying an AI for X startup would be a good idea though. I guess Cruise Automation played things well.

Hi there! From experience we know how hard auth* systems can be. There are a million ways to get what you want. We also see the issue that developers usually start with a least-effort approach (username + password) which needs refactoring later on. The intention of these articles is to give you an overview of what exists and help you choose the best approach with as much information as you can get. We hope that this saves you some time. If you haven't heard from us before, I welcome you to check out our open source products which are all related to auth*: https://github.com/ory

We will plug some of these (and other) open source products in the articles, but we really want to teach you something. There is so much SEO-optimized onboarding (for expensive blackbox SaaS) content with little substance on this topic. We really hope this helps you!

One last thing: We hope it's ok that the other parts are not ready yet. Aeneas (author of the guide) is trying to push out one ~ every month! Getting this content right is a lot of work :)

Cheers!

None of the stuff you list is in any way a "major" tech innovation.

That's all Europe has produced in tech. in the last 70 years: crumbs off the table.

And it's not going to get any better: whatever WW-II based explanation you may provide to justify the current state of affairs, it's not a solution to the problem.

The problem is that European innovators operate in a hostile environment.

If they stay, it cripples them.

If they're smart enough to realize this, they leave and go to a place where they can be successful.
The housing policy of the entire state seems geared toward boomers who bought property here in the 60s-90s cashing out on the backs of the young and newcomers.
>"The article falls directly into the "good old days" fallacy."

This type of dismissal - that people discussing change are nothing more than baseless nostalgics, is really becoming it's own tired trope.

The article gives quite concrete examples of recent-ish developments that are an annoyance to both other residents and other travelers. Large groups of selfie sticks, outsized queues, neighborhoods bereft of actual locals, etc.

The article also discusses sustainability which is a pretty important topic on a planet with 7.6 billion people. How is that a fallacy exactly? An increasing population and a global expansion of middle class people, two elements that factor a booming tourism industry are very rooted in fact.[1]

>"No, people in the past were not looking for "more authentic experiences"."

Nowhere in this article is that claim even staked. It's also very odd that you then go on to mention a couple who brought back some small keepsakes and mementos from a trip as evidence of this. People keep reminders from local events in their life as well and it has nothing to do with "authenticity."

Non sequitur of the century, bravo.
Par for the course with identity-politics bores, I'm afraid. It would be the same if the story was about JCB. Terrible idea to listen to the tiny minority of British companies who actually manufacture things the world is enthusiastic about buying :-)
"Even for young people if you do the math your big Bay Area salary actually doesn't get you ahead as much as a slightly lower salary in a much lower cost of living city."

But that's the point: the difference in rent is much smaller than the difference in market salaries.

"Your whole paycheck goes to the landlord."

If you're an engineer with a $150k salary, which is at the low end for most companies you've heard of that have offices in the Bay Area, then it's very unlikely you spend anything close to your whole paycheck on rent.
The device works just by following/‘reading’ the pre-cut Lorentz-encoding grooves cut into the base of the device. There’s nothing computational going on in the grid of mechanisms. Replace the base with non-hyperbolic grooves and you’d get non-relativistic transformations. It just follows the template encoded for it.

“America educational system” is way too broad of a target. Unless you feel that I was ripped off and defrauded without my knowledge...

Real estate costs is a relatively recent phenomenon.

And the tax situation has - to say the least - been getting worse for quite a while.
In other words combining energy density, efficiency difference and lighter construction enabled by electric engines, the effective energy density gap is about 1 order of magnitude.

In terms of engineering development over medium term, that is not very much, so I'll bet this will happen.

It is honestly harder for me to do so. I'm a cheap person by nature - I have the stuff that I want, my spouse (who has had to support me for much of the time) simply takes care of most of without my input. Also, I live in a cheap, small attic apartment that isn't much more than student housing :) We are slowly saving for a house, so it works out.

But they are expensive. A single bus ride (paid in cash) is as much or more as a latte. Norway is a bit more expensive - to the point there is a (free!) bus that goes between here (Trondheim) and just over the border in Sweden so people can shop cheaply. The amount I spend on groceries and a bit of spending money would more than pay rent and my food (but not all of utilities) in Indiana. I also eat well (mostly vegetarian save for some fish at least once a week). If you go far enough north, you get taxed less, though, to encourage people to live up north. I'm not sure living expenses are cheaper, though.

On the other hand, wages are different. You might make less as a programmer but more when working in retail. And I can definitely plan my expenses better.
I think I understand, thanks for explaining.

Congratulations for keeping it off.

Losing weight is hard enough, but keeping it off year after year seems almost impossible.

I wonder what proportion of people who follow each diet have lost weight and kept it off for more than (say) 10 years.

Immunotherapy isn't ignored at all. There are two small-molecule IDO inhibitors in clinical use, I think, some biologics as well, and the efficiency of CAR T-cell therapy is just staggering.
I'm not saying the competition shouldn't exist - just that we should put brakes on some of the negative-sum games it causes, once the market is saturated and things turn into a fight for a fixed pie. As you say, at this point it's all wasted labour, and it can eat pretty much all your profits.

I tried to refrain from mentioning government regulation here, but the brakes need to be put on everyone simultaneously - deciding to just stop all advertising expense for yourself is a competitive suicide.
People do that in the modern world as well. Just because that stuff was true doesn't mean the rest is false.

I'm definitely not someone that wants to go back to the old times either.

Keep a log of user ids who have requested deletion and purge their data whenever doing a restore. And don't keep backups for longer than required, which I think is generally something like five to seven years barring specific legal requirements.
What you call 'negative sum' some of us call 'competition' and it's healthy considering the alternative dynamic of monopoly.

All corporate systems could be described as various intertwining loops (that intertwine with other corporate loops), it's really a matter of efficiency of those individuals and loops as a system.

Sometimes loops seem wasteful ... like lawyers ... until you actually do get sued or need to sue etc..

As far as I know, plastic straw bans are to reduce the amount of unrecoverable plastic waste as well as all the resources that went into producing it. And I wrong? I don’t see how it’s an intellectual fad so much as policy that you personally disagree with. Put another way, are these intellectuals who support plastic straw bans (who??) potentially going to 'wake up' and realize one day that they were incorrect, and that in fact plastic straws are not a source of unrecoverable waste?

What incentive does a manager have to increase the size? What incentive does he have to improve performance in general? Managers don’t exist in a vacuum, and just because you as an employee don’t see them talking to other managers, executives or owners, it doesn’t mean they are just kings of their own domain.

Not a geneticist either, but this is something the book "The Gene" by Mukherjee can explain.

Quoting from the book (chapter "Regulation, Replication, Recombination"):
"A gene, in short, possessed not just information to encode a protein, but also information about when and where to make that protein"
...
"Proteins act as regulatory sensors, or master switches, in this process — turning on and turning off genes, or even combinations of genes, in a coordinated manner."

So you have a feedback loop, whereby a gene encodes a message to build a protein that regulates a gene.
To get back to your original question, a mutation might encode a different protein which might react to some environmental changes to produce a change in behavior.
Well, obviously.

Doing things which are part of work counts as work is hardly an innovative statement.

The adverts on TV are a clear indicator that bullshit jobs exist, they are simply not necessary.

Further, much of modern society is not necessary. Fast food is stuff you could make at home, but you're too busy at your advertising job. And so bullshit jobs beget more bullshit jobs.

What's happening in western countries is that trade deficits - the slow bleeding of wealth - are happening while much of the upper middle class engages in bullshit jobs and the lower classes engage in burger flipping to each other and the upper middle class.

Not much productive activity is actually going, less than 20% of the population is engaged in manufacturing, resource extraction, counstruction, and farming, and the rest is bleeding out the accumulated wealth from the past (mainly by countries like China wanting to buy our pieces of paper - dollars - and giving us our plastic and electronic toys).

The real problem is the free market economy is short sighted. Private investors can only think short term because they simply refuse to risk money on very large but high payoff ventures.

The government needs to step in and spend, spend, spend on large ventures like space travel, medical science, robotics for bullshit job insanity to end.

hydrogen seems a good fit here. the extraction process can be sustained from renewable or low emission sources, refueling danger risk can be mitigated since these planes are not meant for general populace access.

they'd be highly situational, but for those routes they could be approved for they'd be great.

I actually hold the view that we no longer live in a capitalistic society per se, but a neofeudal one. A lot of modern companies, especially the really big ones, seem to be less interested in competing in the open market and more interested in rent extraction.
Don't you think one could (contractually) minimize (probably not remove) conflicts of interest?

Quite obviously one will not be able to completely remove conflicts of interest as long as there is another (monetary) dependency. Which is the reason for a state owned regulatory agency in the first place.
Pressure to compete. I don't think it's anything companies convinced people into doing, it seems more like one of those unwritten rules. Especially in tech. Your system breaks, you are responsible. Not good to simply look at the clock and say 'well that's a day' if you want more responsibility, leadership, respect, trust etc.
