It is a problem with under-specification, because GDPR is supposed to be just a guiding framework and each government should implement its own compatible laws.

I also was afraid the Romanian government (and other autocratic governments) will do a poor job translating the GDPR into national law.
There's a Russian guy who tests lamps. It's in russian, but should be easy enough to figure out.

So far as I'm aware, the person behind https://pineapplefund.org/ is still unknown. Perhaps that's a good place to start.

If you're using fiat (USD, EUR, RMB, etc.) I would assume the only anonymous method is cash, or an instrument purchased with cash (money order, prepaid gift card, etc), mailed from a public mailbox with no return address, but of course that raises its own problems of ensuring delivery.

For fiat, I doubt any electronic method offers any real protection against subpoena, etc.

The really crazy thing is that the modernists/leftists/futurists/etc make bold claims that they can replace culture with an unnamed and undefined culture to good avail! They are never pushed to back this up with evidence - and in the few cases that they are, they cry "fascist, nazi" etc...
Their evidence always amounts to finding flaws or issues in existing culture. Anyone with any knowledge of logic should be able to understand why finding issues in culture/religion/the-way-things-are is not evidence to any degree that a new (and especially undefined) culture is more problem-free. They just seem to want a government-sanctioned blessing to destroy and become our authorities.
Nope. Gut bacteria. It's being linked to more and more physical and mental ailments.
GHC is a compiler specially used for PL research, dedicated to a language used for PL research. That's neither here, nor there.

Sure - I know more than one company who uses IRC internally, and it works just fine. However, Slack or Rocket Chat have much better usability for non-technical users.

Correct, but I'm guessing the applications probably open files at a higher abstraction than a file handle [the curse/gift of Java], so it wouldn't be hard to decouple the file handle, and allow a trigger to close the file handle and sync on logout.

From a purely kernel perspective: it has been some time since I last looked at the kernel fs/dentry code, but from what I remember, the open file handle would hold refs for dentries that comprise the path [all the way up to mount root]. But even that wouldn't prevent other dentries from being cleared anyhow: only the open file would have unencrypted pages in the page cache. I would highly recommend reading the linux fscrypt code if you would like more details: it's very well structured and quite easy to get into!

Of course, the foolproof way would be to check lsof and nuke all processes that still have file handles open before logging out, but that's probably too much heresy :)

The only reason we pay people to do work is because there is a finite slow-adjusting supply of people, and people have 'running costs' (eg. Housing).

AI would have a near-unlimited supply (limited only by chip fabrication facilities), and very low 'running costs'.

Sure it might 'like' to be paid, but the market isn't stacked in its favour.

On the flip side, parallels could be drawn with the slave trade (nearly unlimited number of potential slaves to bring from Africa, lowish maintenance costs), and those conditions didn't last long...
Never Underestimate Your First Idea – Thoughts
I have no special expertise beyond having read 100k+ pages of Euro/American scifi for fun :)

Liu Cixin himself cites western influences like Clarke. Some elements feel exotic to me though, which I assume come from the cultural difference. I quite enjoy that, much like I appreciated Wuxia movies as teenager: no deeper that western action flix, but goofy instead of cool, and tropes unknown to me feel less trope-y.

Anyway, I'm happy about the fact that these days it's easy to read and watch stuff from around the globe.
Just because Excel gave you a trendline doesn't mean you should go with it. Their choice of graph detracts from their argument.

They do address confounding variables a bit but it isn't especially thorough.
It's interesting that the root cause is attributed to education and not living near a mission. That is live near a mission and end up 10% more educated. Be 10% more educated and earn 10% more.

If A leads to B, and B to C, isn't A ultimately the cause of C?

Amazon is required to just send some files to the court which is fine.

Because I worry apps are invasive and run a bunch of stuff scraping my data that I don't want them know about. At least when I use the website on my mobile phone I can close it when I'm done and that's that. I almost always select to use the desktop version of a site from mobile.
When you open Social Media there is a reason for that.
I figured - for me at least - it comes from an emotional impulse.
By concentrating on that impulse, I discovered that it comes from “need” to socialize.
Trying to fulfill that need by going on a social media platform is just convenient but does not really satisfy that need. So instead, I now call or meet with some family members/friends.

In the progress of growing up I kinda unlearned that. But know that I rediscovered it, I feel much better/balanced.
Other benefits are that I can concentrate and perform at my studies/work much better than before.

I don’t know if that helps anybody but I thought I’d share this experience.
10 years of additional education for 10% more income? How is that worth it?
It’s “key/value” store, because it holds two separate things in each entry: a key and a value.

A key-value store would only hold key values.
I've just watched a documentary about the "Sex Robots". I wondering how this will also influence marriages, in general relationships. In the long term, if few people will have relationships, there will be also a few people who have children. I think we will see the effect of the "Sex Robots" after 5-10 years. What do you think?

Im my generation children used assembly language without any problems, and those who didn't have assemblers just worked out the hex codes on paper and POKEd them in and CALLed them.
If you want to use a spreadsheet with vi key bindings, most linux distros have sc (spreadsheet calculator) in their repositories. It's kind of a cross between vi and the DOS version of Lotus 1-2-3. A newer, improved version of sc with features including undo/redo and csv/tsv export and import is sc-im (https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im).
Addressing your last point, at least in the UK, therapists usually/often have supervisors. I think it's a fairly peer-to-peer system, rather than hierarchical, once you get to a certain point of seniority.
While religiosity has been diverging significantly over the last decades, no such different existed in the times you mention, i. e. from first settlements to, say, WW2.

The degree to which the founding fathers were religious is debatable. It would appear to be singular achievement for men of actual, deep faith to resist the temptation to recreate the sort of intertwined state and church typical of the time.

A somewhat more believable narrative is that the founding fathers tended more to the religious ideas of enlightment, in a process parallel to what would later result in the french revolution.

That believe system is called "deism" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism#Deism_in_the_United_Stat...) and Wikipedia lists quite a few well-known names (with varying degrees of evidence).

It is unlikely that any of them believed in a "Wealthy god", for most of these men were quite smart, and had studied philosophy, while the idea of God being "wealthy" in a material sense is insanely stupid: Once you've created the universe, you really don't care about your ranking on the Forbes list.

There is, obviously, the Calvinist/Puritan tradition that emphasised work ethics (plus burning of witches). But it's important to remember that these were very small communities, and that about a hundred years passed between the pilgrims and US independence. By that time, these groups were but a minor fraction of the population. The vast majority of delegates to the Continental Congress were therefore (officially) Anglicans or "mainline" Protestants.

That's not to discount the Quaker/Calvinist/etc. influence, which certainly played a role. But it's unclear if the causality was quite as easy as one may think: after all, religious believes emphasising self-reliance may just be too good a fit for the needs of small groups of settlers arriving on a vast and wild continent. So it's just as believable that the importance of such doctrine was retrofitted to the needs of the time, possibly even afterwards.

In any case, drawing an equivalence from these early believes of redemption through work to today's version of retrofitting religion to match culture, namely the so-called "Prosperity Gospel" is a simplification bordering on insult. That's easily observed by comparing adherence of the former tradition (the Amish being the closest example you'll find) and the latter (the President comes to mind).

The missing pieces are obvious: humility was certainly among the values, but wealth wasn't. While hard work was/is emphasised, it was/is not intended to lead to earthly riches, but to atone for the original sin and, by God's grace, lead to rewards not in this life, but what comes next.
> I agree with you that overly relying on flashcards will take away the intuition, which is critical in fields like mathematics.

Can't you just write a card that specifically asks you to give the intuition behind some concept?

E.g. "What's the intuitive interpretation of the gradient of a scalar field, \nabla \phi?" Answer: "\nabla \phi is a vector that points in the direction of greatest increase of \phi."

Etc.

When was the last time the US or the UK defaulted on their debt?

The credit rating system is necessarily bayesian, and EM markets all have their most recent defaults within the models' event horizons.
Probably nobody needs a "better C" being possible to use C++ in procedural way, avoiding that C parts considered error prone, ugly or dangerous (i.e. using C++ string, smart pointers, etc). However, if we are talking about a different language, not a C improvement, I think Go could be the answer.
Debt really translates to assets sitting somewhere. If Somalia defaults you might end up owning a couple goats but if US defaults maybe you get an Airfield.
Fruit flies have a fear of water.

It's pretty simple to model and predict, either for a human or a deep net given some training data.

"Emulating these primitive parts" isn't some impossibility.
As an Australian our public healthcare has a lot of trust as does does the public sector that operates it. What we don't trust is government IT initiatives. Our political class do not understand technology and in this country nobody takes responsibility for creating, managing and verifying their own IT systems. IT here is all about procurement. Everything is outsourced. Nobody knows what the hell they are doing and there is no way they even understand the systems and services they are buying. I have no confidence in their ability to protect health data.
Just as radical, yes, but likely more effective would be to limit the size of political parties.
> If A leads to B, and B to C, isn't A ultimately the cause of C?

Only if the mappings hold for every element, ie every A has to lead to B and every B has to lead to C before you can conclude that A causes B
In the article they also mention that there were missions made by franciskaner who focused more on poverty and health. There was no such correlation of being more educated and earning more when living close such a mission.

So education seems to be the core benefit here. Not just living close to a mission.
Problem is, you aren't Yelp's customer, you're their product. Same for all the other sites people are complaining about. Unless that dynamic changes, everyone will only get user experience correct by accident.

I'm sure the interface for advertisers must be pleasant, though.
I’ve actually been thinking about using the strategy comma.ai employed to try and build some interesting open source predictive health models. Like, get a bunch of enthusiasts to share biometric data, build some cool preliminary completely open source models that tie those bio markers to interesting health results, then go from there. I don’t know if it would get big, but it would be a fresh stab at personalized medicine imo
I also prefer to spend a bit more time thinking before writing code. Things usually work fine but it's in direct contrast to TDD and other agile methodologies. Not saying they're bad, great things have been achieved with them, just that it's not a silver bullet (or the most enjoyable way to program for some people).
I think I read on HN, including a source, that the concept of early smoker death was propaganda from the tobacco industry. I will look it up.
Not too far of the mark, But the size of an economy matters more. The United States is the only exception to an otherwise straightforward system of supply and demand the USD is required for most forex transactions which keeps its credit rating propped UP. In all other cases, the size of the economy dictates its credit rating and not always the amount which is owed to its creditors.

State defaults and restructurings don't quite work like that. If the state won't pay its debt there is not much you can do to enforce it.

The real difference is that the US or European countries are borrowing in their own currency and under their own laws (well for euro area countries, sort of). So they will inflate their debt away. EM countries typically borrow in USD and often under foreign law and don't have the option to inflate away.

But Greece found itself with effectively a foreign currency debt (EUR which they don't control) and ended up defaulting (well, technically "restructuring" but that's the same).

IMO the guidelines, moderation and mechanics all work way better on lobste.rs than here. Here the hivemind effect is pretty damn strong too, so it's going to be frustrating to try have a fruitful discussion if your opinion doesn't align with the group. Here there are enough toxic people that discussions often turn into tiresome, flamey back-and-forth between a handful of people. And here there are too many people with opinions but no expertise. So the signal to noise ratio gets really bad and you can't assume the people reading your comments can understand subtler points; if you do, it's quite inevitable that a bunch of people with opinions but no expertise will pile up on the comment and it feels like flamebait.

When I post here, I kinda have to indulge in a ton of self-censorship. Most of the time I end up not posting the comment I wrote because it feels like it won't be a worthwhile discussion. Or it'll be just another comment buried among a few hundred others; just noise, not discussion. It's not satisfying.

The Divide by Zero Programmer
I think the broader point is that it stops the user doing something they want to. Something they could still do with a camera.

The flag should secure it from other apps but the user screenshot tool should be able to override it. The cap framework should be able to do this, you just need to insulate the app itself to ensure only real people can use it.
The iPhone margins are around 40%: https://www.statista.com/statistics/666993/iphone-estimated-...

My example was about the iPhone XS Max. Can you tell me with a straight face that Apple’s top model has a lower gross margin than their average?

Also, other producers can make perfectly comparable products at much lower price points. Add to that Apple’s logistics and supplier influence prowess and there’s no way Apple is paying more than smaller manufacturers for comparable hardware.
Ugh. Yes, but there are many fewer sites that actually need this than those that deploy it just so they can harvest emails.

The only sites that need this are those where users are adding content and the site is moderated, and then login should only be required for moderated actions.

So Yelp should require a login to leave a review, but not to read one.
It matters what currency the debt is in and to whom it is owed.
The United States has never missed a coupon payment and it doesn't look like it will for the forseeable future (many, many decades). What would you call that besides the best credit any organization could possibly have?
Not really, causation doesn't have to be 100%.

Example: Getting shot causes holes in your lungs. Holes in your lungs cause you to die. Therefore, getting shot causes you to die.

All the above, including the inference in the last sentence, are valid statements, even though they don't hold true in 100% of cases.

Answer to grandparent's question is: Yes, if A->B->C, then A->C. Just make sure those casuative arrows actually exist before you make this deduction.

It is evident to anyone who seriously studies Western civilization that our (mostly) shared values are an offspring of the French Revolution, similar, though earlier, slower and less violent democratic developments in England, humanism and enlightenment (Rousseau, etc.), utilitarianism to some extent - Mill addressed the Social Question and the utilitarian tradition later evolved to modern liberalism -, and medical, hygienic, and technological advances, last but not least factories and modern manufacturing and the invention of fertilizers. Some modern values are even the result of such mundane things as officers and politicians fearing death due to the power and sophistication of modern weapons, leading to international treaties to ban certain weapons and disarm countries, as well as new multilateral diplomatic treaties and conventions (U.N., Geneva Conventions, etc.).

It is easy to see that there is no coherent set of "Christian values" that is not based on secular traditions, just look at the history of Christian torture (middle age), genocides, child abuse, Christian support for Feudalism, crusades, and so forth. The Christian values you endorse nowadays are an invention that didn't exist 150 years ago and resulted from the influence of other ideologies on Christianity, not the opposite.
Yes, I like it.

I'm not sure https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ is the analogy I'd make though. It uses a non-trivial amount of CSS (about 5k) -- but not so much that it'll slow most people's downloads, and not a big "framework". It's got some somewhat distinctive branding -- you'll know instantly if you navigate away from the site -- but the elements don't take up too much of the screen. It actually has some responsive elements (try making your browser window narrow).

There's a few lines of JS to make the drop down menus work. But again, nothing huge.

It doesn't seem to be consciously avoiding anything. It looks to me like the work of someone who's started from a clean sheet and is trying to build a site that works for them rather than ticking off a list of best practices. And yes, I like the results.
The main problem as I see it is the dynamic that "if you pay, you pass". I've seen first hand the unwillingness to fail students who have done no work and have zero aptitude or willingness to learn. And that's just the lazy ones. I'm not even including the students who tried but will do poorly. They all get passed! I've only seen one person be failed, and it took several months of investigation before it happened. They didn't attend any sessions or lab project work for months, but they didn't want to kick them out because they were a rich foreign student.

This clearly devalues a university education for those who do work hard and succeed. And it also devalues the institution for its lack of intellectual rigour and enforcement of strict standards.

I would be more than happy for paying students to be held to strict and high standards, but having money be a big part of the equation seems to have corrupted even well regarded universities. (My perspective is from the UK universities; when the courses were completely funded by the government through local education authorities, they didn't have a problem with giving mediocre or bad students the boot, but today it's nearly impossible.)
