Did you ask the respective vendors? It's you who is giving them money; it's on you to ask for what you want. If you don't ask, the sales teams do not know what to work with.
Sounds like you are trying to solve a social problem with technology.
In that example the goods stolen are tangible and have real, solid value that anybody can recognize.

In the case of things covered by GDPR the value is opaque and intangible, and only valuable to certain people. Letting 'the free hand of the market, driven by the layman who doesn't understand this, is not effective.

If you want proof, well, it's in the pudding.

Edit: also, if banks wheew getting knocked over as much as sites and apps, the government would intervene

Ask HN: How to build human-proof technology?
Just as we build child-proof systems that prevent children from injuring themselves or doing damage. How does one think about the principles behind building things/companies that may not necessarily be unicorns but are more mindful of human flaws and tendencies. Systems that radically accept that you're a human who makes mistakes and learns and grows at your own pace.

Since most of the crowd here is working towards building a better future for themselves and the world, i thought it might be a good forum to ask this question
> My point is that it should not be discretionary.

Right. But that won't work.

We set the fines at say, 20% of the business.

So a 'mom and pop' firm breaks it, gets reported. Ok, now they're out say, 20,000 EUR (scale to whatever is appropriate in your country for a small company).

Then a big business breaks it for maybe, gets reported. Ok, now they're out $35.57bn.

These might indeed be acceptable amounts. Now imagine that for example, instead of having a fair number of people affected, it is just two people. Or three people. And perhaps in this instance the people involved were only marginally affected by it, perhaps at worst they would have lost a couple of hundred $currency.

Technically speaking, the companies still broke the law, but suddenly perhaps the punishment does not quite fit the crime!
the same can be done by independent reviewers.

i would not trust a commercial entity whose goal is profit, to be able to decide for me what research is good, the same way that i don't trust movie distributors. i'll look for outside reviewers who earned my trust because they understand the subject matter.
So by hacking GitHub, now laws can be changed?

The original patent is expired, though Google has patented some tweaked versions since then, which are still protected, so one has to be careful when using it.
So you want them to bankrupt small companies while letting large companies getting away with not even a slap on the wrists? That seems strange. The law as written has leeway in the amount to make it more fair than it would be if you applied it universally.
Well, yeah, I assume most non-broad questions are pure crap too. But they don't close all of the non-broad questions. (Or even a lot of the awful ones - I have tried to answer a few horrifyingly badly written Qs on math SE, that no-one else dared to go near, which weren't closed for months, for some reason) So I can't see how that was so relevant to talk about that.

So the answer is, There Is No Alternative? There's no possible way things could be different in that respect?
Nobody is asking for science to be done for free, most motivations for open access come from people that realize that the biggest stakeholder in all of this is the public.

Grant agencies receive money from taxes and those funds are devoted to science instead of other public projects. That the output of this work is not generally available to the public is the problem.

Most researchers will never feel this problem since their libraries will have access to the journals that they need. Publishers in general will just charge for access and not see the issue. It is only when you go out as a member of the general public and attempt to read some journal article, presumably funded by your taxes, that you will realize that you haven't had a voice in all of this.
They have those camps too, but this is about having a political snitch move into your regular home to note and report any non-communist or muslim behavior your family might exhibit. If you look suspicious, you get sent to camp, I guess.

How do you determine "safe to take at 45"? Kinetic energy increases quadratically to speed, so your braking distance is much larger and doesn't scale linearly to speed so, no, just because you feel your car can safely take those roads at 5-10mph over the limit doesn't mean it's safe, the environment dictates the speed limit, not the road conditions per se.
You definitely do not want that. Vetted science should not go through a pipeline of what amounts to a low brow popularity contest. Hacker news might be somewhat better than reddit in this respect, but there's no way you want to subject it to that kind of process.
This is so arrogantly naive, that I hope it's sarcasm
The answer to 'why' is that no money changes hands for any review - not to pay to get a review for your paper, and not to review a paper for someone else. It's a social system.

You 'pay' for reviews of your papers, by reviewing other people's papers.

All the publisher does is connect people up and produce the final product. You can argue that the cost to subscribe is therefore too high for that service. Fine, it may be so! But saying 'why don't they pay their reviewers' is to misunderstand what the entire setup is here.
100 percent to 2000 percent of what?
I'm very much in favor of leveraging the advantages of version control software for legal text. Git seems perfect for this, but GitHub is a terrible choice to host it. Surely we don't want a large corporation owning the platform on which our laws are enshrined. It seems like it would be much better for this to be self-hosted.
You're welcome. It appears as if not many understood the sarcasm, despite the xkcd reference...
Upvote/downvote lists a horrible way to publish science. Simple silly example: big group publishes, everyone gets online and upvotes the post in the early stages so it floats to the top.
A better comparison would have been TV and film. A lot of "ecological niches" in the media landscape that are currently being taken over from TV by internet streaming used to be taken up film. Can you imagine going to the cinema for a news broadcast?

Struggling with Imposter Syndrome? How to Think and Overcome
Mainstream academic research can coexist just fine with fringe theories and industry research in the same database as long as one can efficiently distinguish between them

How do you propose that is done?

For my job I build neural networks for text processing. I spend a lot of time reading papers in the field.

And yet if I look at something in an adjacent field (even something as close as something like open information extraction) I have trouble telling which papers are important.

How on earth am I supposed to tell if something in a further removed field which attracts more crackpots (say probability theory or something) is a fringe theory or a breakthrough from a new author?

I'd note the example of the Gaussian correlation inequality[1] where even people in the field weren't aware it had been proven for 3 years after publication[2].

I have yet to see a person against regulation that didn't run screaming for the authorities as soon as they were tricked, swindled, defrauded, abused by some company because no regulation was put in place.

Most recent cases that come to mind are Bitcoin thefts. "The government shouldn't do anything to regulate or even look in the general direction of Bitcoin". Oh, the exchange left your pockets empty? "The Police and the government should do something!"

Companies aren't scared of consumers because as a mass they have no idea what's good for them or how to protect themselves. Without a watchdog we'd all just be open for abuse with no leverage to stop it. Companies are far more motivated and capable to abuse you than you are to defend yourself.
All due respect, you’re coming off as defensive and dismissive, without stating a single example of what was missing. There are plenty of stores that have incredibly varied selections of “fancy things,” including but not limited to Nob Hill and Mollie Stone’s.

I come from NYC, where we had fancier things than you’d find in SF, and the South Bay comes close. SF doesn’t.

The benefits and risks of Big Data
When I did it, I just closed the door at ~nautical~ civil twilight. The chickens come home to roost before that, and the predators (raccoons) generally were later than that.

My design was Raspberry PI -> sensor/power board -> battery powered drill. And an extra long usb cable to get the wifi dongle to the other side of the roost, because when the chickens were in the coop, they absorbed enough wifi signal to make it drop off the network.

Edit -- changed which twilight. Also, code here: https://github.com/wiredfool/coop-door

Unfortunately, schematics and physical door design are lost to several moves.

All that one can deduce from this line of (mostly philosophical) investigations is that "consciousness is randomness in our behavior".

If that definition of consciousness fits you, then fine, but the whole discussion is not very productive for neuroscience. For all i know, consciousness is an undefined term.

The article doesn't mention Francis Crick, who was even more qualified to tackle the subject.

I don't understand why academics seem so complacent in this. Sure I'm perfectly happy to do "service" for a community of researchers who run an open access journal or are organizing a conference. That's a beautiful system. When it's for a for-profit publisher that will charge those not working at a well funded academic institution extortionate fees to access my work , or the work I'm reviewing, it's a whole different story.
This looks great. Excited to check it out when it comes to android. You hooked me in with your examples all being japanese. Also, I want to know how that Atom minigame works.

There are two types of outsiders, individuals and institutions. For an individual, choosing a reviewer to trust can potentially work but it does get harder if you have to pick multiple different reviewers to get good coverage.

For institutions, especially those in charge of grants, something more stringent and organized is needed than "I like that science guy". And those organizations will need to be payed somehow, preferably in such a way that it doesn't create too perverse incentives.
Sometimes it's not primarily that it's impossible to model this stuff in OOP, but rather that the change in requirements over time can be more difficult to implement in an OOP codebase. At least that's been my experience.

> All scholarly articles need to go through peer review and receive honest, constructive feedback

Which is also a system that can be gamed, by the way. For example, by the reviewers:

- "Oh dammit, we got scooped... better use the insights from here to help us past our hurdles, while stating this work is not original enough to be published so we can quickly submit our own and get published earlier after all!"

- "I see that this paper belongs to Camp A with regards to these two competing hypotheses explaining unexplained phenomenon X, I am in Camp B. Therefore, I will consider this paper rubbish by definition."

- "I am an old researcher who does not believe in some of the newer findings that contradict longstanding assumptions that I "grew up with", and therefore will never allow this paper to pass."

- "I am a very insulated researcher who cannot make sense of this multidisciplinary work, therefore reject the parts that lie outside of my field as rubbish."

- "This paper is a by a researcher competing for the same position/grant/etc. as me. Better make sure they don't get too much credit."

- "I'm not sexist/racist/etc but... totally clearly biased in my judgement of this paper because..."

Now, I'm obviously describing worst-case scenarios here. But my point is: it's human politics all the way down.
Like most people here, I have been thinking this quantum consciousness stuff is a lot of woo.

I have used gmail as my single mail account for more than 10 years and I don't deleted anything by real spam (unsolicited mail to harvested or stolen addresses). However, I get 99% of my mail forwarded from other addresses, I don't give my gmail address out.

When I look at the linked address I get

* no purchases
* no subscriptions
* (nearly?) all of my flights and hotel reservations since 2013.

Obviously Google is too American to understand that I travel more frequently by train than by plane. Several of the flights are displayed as "cancelled" although I am 100% sure that I took them without any rebooking or anything else. As a matter of fact the only flight that I could not take because of a strike is shown as "confirmed". That much about reliability of harvested data.

Originally it was part of Gmail that they scan your mails automatically in order to show you targeted ads. However, I remember they announced some time ago they would stop scanning mails. Probably I did not read the fine print in their legalize...

What is being done to soil biology, even in organic farming, is a disaster.

I don't know the impact this specific technique has on soil life, but I'd wager it can't help.

If we want to keep the soil fertile, and restore CO2 absorbtion to the soil, we need healthy soil !
Hmm, are you perhaps referring to the Surface Book? The Surface requires a stand even with the keyboard attached, making it awkward to use in your lap, etc.

Creating a "market" for reviews would be a terrible idea - I agree that the reviewing part of the process seems to work pretty well (or at least did when I was last involved, which is a while now).

Edit: The bureaucracy of charging for reviews would be bad enough - but I suspect perverse incentives would soon arise as reviewing would soon be seen as a revenue generator to be maximised and a cost to be minimised.
I undersand artificial fertilizers are pretty bad for soil biology. We desperately need healthy soil for CO2 absobtion (not to mention fertility).
Applying Machine Learning at the Front End of HPC
Raspberry Zero W is now supported
As it is, I run Windows in a VM with IOMMU, firewalled incoming connections, host-level VPN, etc., passing through a Geforce 1080 for direct access, and I only use it for specific purposes. Everything else is done in other VMs that run Linux. It's a similar setup to Qubes.

I also do music production and graphics and game programming in Windows, so I'm totally with you on how fucked this is going to be in a year. One of my biggest issues is that I know for a fact my fb2k visualizer doesn't work under Wine.

One possible solution I've thought about for using a non-networked W7:

* Set up a separate VM with allocated storage that gets broadcast as a set of read-only local network drives

* Add both W7 and this VM to a private network without net access

* Access the netdrive on W7 and copy any files with which you need write access to a W7-only storage partition.

Seeing as how we seem to have similar use cases, I'm happy to give you some pointers on setting up something similar to what I have.

Sickle cell disease affects millions of people, and it's the most common inherited blood disorder. We know for sure that certain mutations in the HBB gene cause sickle cell disease, so I think there is 100% certainty when you're correcting this specific mutation. People who don't inherit this mutation don't get sickle cell anemia. (Because their HBB gene doesn't produce blood cells that are shaped like sickles.)

I didn't realize that CRISPR gene editing can cause damage to other genes [1], so it might not worth it yet. If there was a perfect CRISPR procedure that had no other side effects, then it would be hard to argue against that.
