Google collects far more personal data than FB. The one thing that saves them from all the backlash that FB faced is that they don't seem to share those data with 3rd parties.
I'm assuming "technology" means the UX in this case, and it is absolutely a big part of the reason I keep coming back to AirBNB while I plan an upcoming vacation with multiple stays. I can find places with the constraints I'm looking for quickly, and conveniently see them laid out on a map. The UX on other sites I've tried make it more difficult to find places where I want to stay.

Pai Refuses to Brief Congress About Bounty Hunters Buying Phone Location Data
It's a (slightly exaggerated) reference to the Irish backstop.

The UK, as a sovereign nation, is party to international agreements which it has signed in the past which commit it to doing various things, many of them intended to be permanent and many unrelated to the EU. One of those is with the Republic of Ireland, over peaceful relations in the UK territory of Northern Ireland. The Irish government and many Northern Irish people regard this agreement, broadly construed, as implying that no new barriers will be set up on the Irish border. Another international agreement, WTO rules, which the EU is signed up to (and the UK also intends to trade under) implies that if the UK and EU adopt different customs regimes they will also be required to actively monitor customs borders between the UK trading bloc and the EU trading bloc. The Irish government (and by an extension EU negotiators representing their interests) regards feasible customs border check regimes as violating the spirit of the Good Friday agreement over security barriers. Therefore unless and until some border solution in line with WTO regulations and acceptable to the Irish government or an adjudicating party is found (or the Republic of Ireland also chooses to leave the EU, which is highly unlikely) Northern Ireland must not become part of a different customs area from the Republic of Ireland and therefore must remain subject to some relevant EU laws.

Being a sovereign country means the possibility of reneging upon prior commitments, but it doesn't mean these agreements don't exist or that parties won't insist you honour [their interpretation of] them when offering new agreements
Congress could moot all of this by simply passing (or repealing existing law) a law that leaves the issues to the states in question. While online gambling poses issues when not all states adopt the same rules, just treat it like sales tax and require the vendor (and gambler) to obey the laws of the state of the gambler. Sure, there would be vendors and gamblers who don't obey this, but there are already gambling providers (bookies) and gamblers who aren't following state or federal law.

If everyone treated sports bets that way, maybe it wouldn't be considered gambling. Though I kinda doubt a subscription service offering payouts whenever your favorite sports team loses would be a very successful business, as you'd have to be a pretty hardcore fan for emotional damage due to a loss to be something so significant that you can't take the hit without monetary compensation to console you.

It doesn't appear that there are any AAA titles made using the Unity engine though. It may simply not be good enough. The Unreal engine, by contrast, has many AAA titles built on it, including quite possibly the biggest game of all time, Fortnite.

I imagine they must have crunched numbers indicating they'll make more money from people signing up for this service than they do from licenses, even if fewer people use it than view the content from Netflix via license.

I still believe that in the long run, though, it may be a mistake for them.

If a car's battery system is not set up for this kind of a charge rate (IE: it maxes at 7.2 amp 240 volt level 2), there is no way their system can just attach to your port and charge your car faster.

Its reasonable to think things encrypted today with good methodologies are likely to remain secure forever.

NSA can't change the fundamental laws of the universe. While cryptology and mathematics is constantly advancing, there hasn't been a fundamental breakage of a block cipher in ages, nor has any evidence emerged to suggest the fundamentals of RSA will be broken.

Computing power alone isn't enough to break todays strong cryptography, and its certainly possible that the underlying math is a constant of the universe.

Edit: Not to mention the snowden leaks suggests that the NSA spends most of their effort subverting implementations rather than the fundamental mathematics.

Around the second chapter I was so amazed by the book that instead of reading it further I translated it into Russian, got the Professor's blessings, and to this day it warms my heart every time I see a new star on the repo.

Yes. If people know that it could lead to national collapse, they'd more likely vote for actually sensible policies. If instead they think that "the politicians will figure something out" and that "my politicians are better than your politicians" you get the present political situation, when most votes (both referenda and elections) are less about policies and more about popularity, tribalism and virtue signaling.
I can never understand why no-deal v remain appears to be a reasonable position. A normal response to a closely contested referendum carried out the way this one was would be to find some consensus within parliament for how brexit could be delivered, _then_ enact article 50 to withdraw.

The current prime minister not only kept all opposition parties away from deliberations on how to proceed, but kept her own ministers in the dark while formulating her own policy, which she pursued largely in secret.

So why should the electorate be cheated in this manner? Even now, forms of brexit based on remaining in the EEA have a great chance of having parliamentary support.
I think the entire point of viciously attacking anyone who shows any sign of being part of the "opponents" ideology is to chill that persons speech.

They just don't realize that type of tactic not only fails to silence people but also (quietly) pushes tons of people who normally don't have a horse in the game to the other side. There are plenty of politically ambivalent people who don't want a world ruled by an ideology opposed to open debate/free thought and which actively seeks to destroy context/intention in language in the name of "progress".
This is ridiculous Brexiteer fantasy. The UK will have no measure of success in the short to medium term in a no deal scenario; it will be absolutely catastrophic.

It's meaningless to speculate what might happen in a fantasy scenario a decade or more later, but we know for a fact that the UK would be initially hurt much more badly by no deal than the EU.

If anything, no deal should convince Eurosceptics in other countries that they just cannot sell this fantasy to their constituents anymore.

My complaint is that the author appears to be using the term "amateur" as a slur.

There are professionals - people who get paid to work on projects for a living - who shirk the less-fun parts. The author seems to want to call those people "amateurs".

There are amateurs - people who are not paid to work on projects - who are very serious about their work and do the less-fun parts. Should we call these people "professionals?"

We need only look at volunteer organizations to see non-professionals doing hard and often thankless work. We see people work hard to excel in amateur sports all the time, even if only to make a personal record. It therefore doesn't seem right to associate "amateur" with the qualities that the author is trying to describe.

I pointed out the USGA example precisely because the author seems to think that those terms and definitions can be applied to golf. Since they can't, they likely can't be applied to other fields either.

Wouldn't "lazy worker" and "good worker" be more appropriate terms than "amateur" and "professional"?
> Which makes it roughly the opposite of betting, in most uses.

In what way is it opposite? How is more betting somehow the opposite of betting?

Let's say I bet $10 that team A will beat team B with 1:10 odds (I would win 100) and then team A does really well so at half-time I bet $10 that B will beat team A with 1:2 odds (I would win 20)

I have now hedged my bets and I will at least break even. Under your understanding, that second bet is not gambling solely because of my motivation for placing it?

Let's say that instead I make a $20 bet at halftime that B will beat team A with 1:2 odds (I would win 40). Now I come out ahead no matter the outcome. Because I "over hedged" this is gambling again?

This doesn't make sense to me.
Those negotiations were not made on the basis of threatening to leave the EU.

One of the main pillars of Brexit voters was immigration control.

So, we're going to ruin the entire country to get immigration controls (and destroy trade, and cut ourselves off politically, socially, and from the scientific communities, and...) then just leave the border open?

So put your money. Make some short positions on Euro.

And I would argue the opposite - the departure of the UK will leave the EU stronger. People will see what kind of clusterfuck it creates and they will learn that capital investors do not like such a mess.

While countries in the EU (especially Ireland - THE English speaking country successor in the EU) will enjoy the diverted cashflows into their economies.

If there is going to be any domino effect at all, it is going to be the resurrection of the Independence of Scotland which will most likely want to join EU at some point after that.

I would even argue that the EU will find happiness at least in a sense that they got rid of a member that enjoyed exclusive rights (no Euro, no Schendgen) which will make the path easier for the "United States of Europe" model.

Regarding the "afford" bit, the only party that can't afford that is the UK - the UK imports 55% of "stuff" from the EU, and exports 50% to the EU. The EU27 exports to the UK are 16% which puts it behind the US.

Finally, most of those anti-EU movements are a joke as they are tied with outsider parties partly funded by Russian money and some fake-news campaigns. Also, having Poland in that list is a mistake, Poland is one of the biggest benefitors from the membership, and there are no such movements at all. The only thing they are upset is the two-speed EU which is another topic altogether.

Given our current, "engagement maximizing" news media/social media architecture it doesn't matter who stands up and speaks the truth and how well they do it and how many clicks they get. They will fail.

In the arms race for the public's attention that has been setup, by this clicks/views/likes/retweets/upvote based architecture, the incentive for thousand other voices to drown out the truth, to pander, to distract, to mislead has never been higher. And its not hard work. It attracts and props up the most hard working yet unqualified people on the planet.

Until the architecture changes and incentives for these people change, just expect more and more Brexit and Trump like events wasting everyone's time and energy.
Does anyone have thoughts on how Airflow compares with Kubeflow's Argo?
> CETA is not a customs union

this is correct, but not at all relevant to your original point:

> If you want access to the single market, you have to sign up to freedom of movement.

this statement is objectively not true, as is proven by the existence of CETA

> But if you want into the customs union (and therefore being allowed to just walk things across the border to the EU, no checks) you have to sign up to pretty much all the EU regulations. And that's the point that the four freedoms kick in, and you have to take freedom of movement.

this statement is also not true: Turkey forms a customs union with the EU: goods travel freely between the EU and Turkey without customs checks, and the EU does not have freedom of movement with Turkey

Most of the weight you manage to keep off from eating organic comes off your wallet.

"organic" is a marketing buzzword that doesn't have the meaning that you are told.

They can even use non-organic chemicals provided enough of the organics board decides an organic version is too costly.

> the only reason I can think of that the deal is rejected is that Corbin, or whoever else would come out of this kerfuffle victorious

For it to be defeated by such a margin, it had to receive cross-party rejection. 118 Conservatives voted against it (with 196 voting for), it was proposed by a Conservative Government.
That's not entirely true, most international gaming businesses follow strict anti-gambling-addiction regulations like using self exclusion databases, implementing daily limits, and doing pre-emptive problem gambling detection.

Allowing problem gamblers to blow all their money hurts the whole industry because then they go broke and don't have any more money to gamble with. The industry has started to recognize that in the last 5-10 years and many measures have started to be implemented to catch problem gamblers and restrict them before they lose all their money.
Yes. Margins of even 70% are amazing over a long period of time.
> Democracy means accepting that the voting public has no idea what makes good policy, but that they should determine policy anyway.

Representative democracy means that they determine policy by choosing representatives. It's disingenuous for those representatives to turn around and blame their own policy choices on an explicitly non-binding referendum that they sent to the public. (Especially so for a leader of the party who choose to do that specifically as a means of minimizing the impact of the issue so referred on a general election so as to preserve their partisan majority.

> That's why I'm always annoyed at the 'another referendum would tarnish democracy' line

I'm annoyed for another reason: first, in 1975, [1], there was a referendum that asked the British people if they would want to join the EEC. Then, in 2016, there was a referendum that asked them if they would want to leave the EU. So if there can be a second, then why can't there be a third?

Around here (Boston) there are many roads with both a name and a number. Route 16 is the Mystic Valley Parkway, and then later on that splits off and 16 is the Alewife Brook Parkway. Or, Route 60 is also High Street, at least by us. For these two think we use the number a bit more, but the name is also used. Other roads, like Route 2 are called that in some sections but not others (no one would call Memorial Drive "Route 2"). Even the interstates have names that no one would use: Route 128 is the "Yankee Division Highway", but everyone says 128 (or maybe 95). And some interstates have names people do use: the Mass Pike (Massachusetts Turnpike) can be called "90" but generally isn't.

Overall, this is complicated and it's not surprising to me that it's hard to get a computer to do the right thing.

You speak of "tracking" as if it's all the same thing. Every sale you make at a store is tracked, and for good reason to both the customer and the store (how else do you allow returns). Every time you visit a doctor, they add the info regarding your visit to a log. That's tracking. Tracking itself is not bad.

Tracking individuals and personal information about them while they are trying to remain anonymous or have no expectation anything peraonal has been revealed is bad.

Attacking anything with the word tracking in it because it's been conflate with this even though it shares little or no resemblance and can't be used later for this purpose it it's current form is just FUD and an indicator or how broken human communication fundamentally is.
