EU laws in general are quite hostile to adhesion contracts - pretty much all terms that where a consumer is forced to surrender something meaningful to use a product they bought are considered null and void in EU. If customer is shown a common EULA stating "you surrender copyright of these things to the manufacturer" and needs to click "I agree" before proceeding, then in EU that does not imply any legally binding commitment whatsoever and does not imply that the consumer surrendered those rights; if they were forced to do so in a standartized mandatory agreement, then that doesn't count.

A treble damages multiplier with criminal charges and mandatory minimum sentences in the decades would be a rather effective deterrent. A breach can be just as devastating to someone as losing a partner or parent to senseless violence and should be punished in proportion to the number of victims. Fines are ineffective. There needs to be life sentences and company dissolution for incidents like Equifax.

I don't think this is true.

You have to enter a pin code when you order from Flipkart. It's used to compute the delivery fee.

Flipkart also used to refuse to deliver products to some pincodes though the list of supported numbers has definitely expanded over the years.

In short, I don't know what their coverage level is, but it boils down to: you can't get a package delivered to anywhere where there is no post office.

As an alternative to government regulation, how about an approach like Underwriters' Laboratories?

Those guys got their start around 130 years ago with regulations about fire doors in factories. Now they have standards for all sorts of EGoT (Electric Grid of Things) devices, from lamps to toasters.

They get their teeth from the fire-insurance companies who back them. If you have non-UL junk in your office, an insurance risk-manager inspector will instruct you to change it. If you have that kind of junk in your apartment, heaven help you if you have a fire and make a claim.

Industrial shops have Factory Mutual filling the same role. One place I worked required Factory Mutual certification. Those guys are not fooling around; they improved our products.

If Walmart and Best Buy discontinued selling uncertified IoT products it would help the cause. Even MicroCenter and Fry's could help get the ball rolling. But they can't do that until a certification process is workable.

A UL or FM approach is more workable with USA attitudes toward government regulation. And workable is what we need.
The 555 was great.

These days I usually just drop in a 6 pin microcontroller though. Less external parts, cheaper, less environmental instability, much more operational flexibility, and often I can have it perform several circuit functions. If I go to 8 pins, woah, look out!

I do so much digitally now that I've "forgotten" 75 percent of my analog stuff... Once in a while I come upon a cool analog trick though. Sad part is, that usually the "super simple, bulletproof" analog solution with just 5 parts usually ends up being more expensive in qc, bom, and board space that throwing a million transistors at it.

It's a strange world we live in.

Nope; gravity is very predictable and very constant (see also the difficulty in detecting gravitational waves), they calculated how much it should accelerate under influence of gravity and found the actual acceleration to be different.

Ask HN: Is there a Comma.ai but for health?
Allow me to expand on the weird question: comma.ai has innovated in a very regulated space by crowdsourcing data through sharing apps with enthusiastic users and using the driving data to build useful self driving models and technology.

Good to know about the 0x00 trick.

My point about metadata is that if protobufs had even a small amount of self description in them, the middlemen who weren't being updated could all have been found automatically and the version skew issue would have been much less of an issue. Like how Dapper can follow RPCs around, but for data and running binaries.

Google doesn't do that because for its specific domain it needs a very tight encoding, amongst other reasons (and the legacy issues). It could have fixed the validating-but-not-updated-middleman issue in other ways, but instead it made the schema type system less rigorous vs more rigorous. That seems the wrong direction.

Yeah and then you'd need the delta-V to match the object's velocity as well, which would be solar escape velocity and then some. Although having probes scattered around the solar system that could be trained onto the object to get observations from multiple simultaneous angles would be neat.

I can't disagree from a technical perspective, nor should everyone else. But that just isn't that relevant. Sure, you could hack the entire world 20 years ago, but there just weren't that much impact.

For example, process 1 could only r/w files in "/some/path/1" and process 2 could access "/some/path/2". But the number of processes is dynamic. I might have two or I might have 100. So I need to be able to specify new directories at runtime.

I think it's just the area detection of stream and you are working on it anyway so I'm really looking forward to see the results.

btw, I think the pip install requirements missed opencv-python (on Windows?). And in this doc [2], it should be "top left and bottom right" instead of "left-top and right-bottom".

Failing to disclose a breach should be treated like covering up a crime. Companies are dissolved, fines levied, people go to jail, damages are paid.

Failing to address security vulnerabilities quickly, or publicize their existence and suspend operations until they're fixed is negligent and is most similar to reckless endangerment. Similarly, hiring inexperienced, unqualified, or otherwise knowingly incapable people to perform a job is negligence. Failing to know and perform what precautions one needs to take is likewise negligent. People go to jail, fines are levied, damages are paid.

A previously unknown exploit used to gain access to a company is like a car accident and should be treated as such. Company pays damages and moves on.
The fact alone that it’s still used so much, more than 30 years from design, is testament to its quality.

If PDF is just "characters at coordinates" then getting the data out seems to require all functions of an OCR engine outside of character recognition per se (namely, layout detection). And with botched fonts, you essentially need the full package.

> A 2015 study by Claudia Wagner, et al, found that, on English Wikipedia, the word “divorced” appears 4.4 times more frequently in a biography of a woman than of a man. For German and Russian Wikipedia that multiplier increases to 4.7 and 4.8 times, respectively. Why does divorce matter in the lives of women but not men? Prejudice can be very hard to see in ourselves.

Men on average are almost twice as likely to have never married. Men on average has an older age when entering the first marriage and has also lower divorce rates then women. Seem what the author is calling prejudice by the biography writers is a misrepresentation.

I don't know about this specific example, but polyhedral optimization generally, at least, is useful for parallelization of such loops, e.g. http://pluto-compiler.sourceforge.net/. However, serial GEMM is typically most important in HPC, with parallelization at a higher level.

Some complex CPU or encryption bugs is what makes full security hard. But most security breaches are because of people doing stupid things. Unprotected public databases or s3 buckets, sql injections, plain text / easy to guess passwords, out of date software, etc. I am ready to bet that those alone constitute more than 90% of the breaches. And this is the result of mere amateurism. If tech people do not care about security or aren't competent enough to take even the most basic steps, regulation is absolutely the right response.
> The parent was arguing that security is hard [...]

It isn't though, at least not compared to the state of things. Pretty much any government would be competent enough to mandate some sort of two-factor authentication that would greatly improve security and make a lot of phishing and hijacking a thing of the past. Of course different governments would have different success rates, if not in terms of security at least in terms of elegance. But that is like everything else. People die everyday by the lack of road safety and healthcare.
