Courts have discretion when deciding on penalties. This is the case for the vast majority of laws you can think of. You might argue that not having a "first-offender" concept is unfair, but that stops courts from being able to punish really egregious first offenses. It might also incentivise companies to try to work around the repeat-offender rules so they can continue to violate GDPR without any serious penalty.

> Indeed they can impose the maximum fines for a first offense, and are fully incentivized to do so

And yet they didn't when they first fined Google[1], where the fine was 50 million euros -- which was only 1% of the maximum fine they could've imposed. It's almost as if the maximum penalty is the upper ceiling and not the default.

The death penalty for robocalls coming from inside the US, and drone strikes and extraordinary rendition for robocalls originating outside the US are out of the question, right?

But seriously, why is it so difficult to eliminate these robocalls. Each operation has to have employees, a call center (to handle the marks), payment processing, etc. It seems like a very easy target.

If you have 8 people spending two years building a toolchain, that means your tool chain cost 65712 hours to setup.

In order to be worthwhile, it needs to save you more than 65712 hours on development and operations. If it fails to do that, then you’ve wasted tax payer money.
That’s moving the goalposts. The original claim was that they’re not required.
I think if you want to study quantum computing, you do not need as much of a physics background as you think (perhaps for physically implementing a qc, but that is more experimental).

If you have had more exposure to maths and computer science, it will be easier for you than someone with a "pure" physics background.

As for quarternions, yes they are isomorphic, but generally for useful applications, people consider quantum computers with n qubits. So your state is an element of C^(2^n). Apart from the measurement step, you can idealise any quantum computation as a unitary transformation, so an element of the unitary group U(2^n), acting on this complex vector.

An element of U(2^n) is representable as a 2^n x 2^n matrix U, with complex entries, st U.U^{\dagger} = I. Here dagger represents conjugate transpose, and I is the 2^n x 2^n identity matrix. Sometimes people add the extra constraint, det(U) = 1, then this gives you the special unitary group SU(2^n).
Right, and this is "better" but if you start handling significant volume you're going to want HTTP/2 behind your proxy. Envoy does this, and it's a basically free way to just get more out of your hardware and network.

Among other things, it's much harder to get caught in interception on an MITM box. The user never has any kind of real visibility into system. One can also easily force users onto CDN/mitigation services with a simple DOS attack, it's a lot harder to get a target onto particular hosting.

Probably. I've recently compiled Mozilla's Deepspeech for the Nvidia TX1 and it was a painful process. They don't have precompiled binaries for ARM64 + CUDA for Deepspeech, so you have to compile Bazel (v18!), Tensorflow from Mozilla's repo, V1.12, and then deepspeech. If I am remembering correctly, it ran pretty slowly on the TX1. I don't know how well it would run on this new device, or if a lighter weight model is available somewhere.

HTTP/2 has support on over 90% on caniuse, which is a decent approximation of what most folks selling products here will see. The browsers that don't support it aren't the sort we really care that much about anyways unless we're building a bank or something, in which case suffering is your mandate anyways.

As for client libraries for APIs, it's a non-issue. There's plenty of flexibility on backends.

Unmatchable type, following terminology from the paper. This is contrasted with a matchable type which is "injective" and "generative". Basically these unmatchable types are potentially ambiguous under certain operations, so it indicates to the type system limits to the transformations which can be done. So Maybe is * -> * means that if Maybe a is f a, then f is Maybe, and if Maybe a is Maybe b then a is b. If another type t is * ->> *, then the type checker can't make these assumptions.

Patrick, I love Stripe's offering, but I have to pull teeth within my startup to justify why we use Stripe to non-technical people. In fact, when I put on my Product person's hat, I can see everything they tell me clearly.

Stripe just does not look or function like a credit card processor. It is nearly impossible for non-engineer folk to grasp - to the point of it not being a viable platform. The almost hermit-like reporting interfaces (the best that can be done is a bunch of paginated tables??), the lack of visibility into how charges break down at an aggregate level (how much do we pay Stripe in fees has to be pulled from a shudder export of all transactions), handling of disputes, no ability to generate monthly statements (for Connect accounts), no direct line access to an account manager etc etc - the list goes on unfortunately.

I love the simplicity, but I can tell you that Stripe is lagging far behind in functionality and ease of platform use for SMB and enterprise SaaS companies (specifically, in our case, a platform/service provider that runs payments for a bunch of small businesses). We're small, but not tiny, and growing - so the noise around the problems we face just keeps amplifying by the day. The moment we crossed a dozen customers and 100-200K in monthly processing, it’s as if Stripe just stopped working for us.

Stripe's clearly an extraordinary engineering-driven company, but solving for real business use-cases is key. From the outside, it feels like Stripe is solving all the back-end problems and optimizing it, but doing nothing about the front-end, metaphorically speaking.

I'm now having to get on calls with old-school card processing providers since Stripe just doesn't "scale" for us from a business use-case perspective. It's too catered to the devs.

Hope this falls on the right ear. I'm happy to chat more and provide my 2c of feedback if someone wants to listen.
We don’t need a massive operations setup when a single IIS instance can handle every citizen logging into X and not flinch. Yet more and more people are building a setup mirroring big players like Netflix.

Not gonna lie, that’s an odd reason to choose a credit card processor.

Then we generally agree. Like I said, the one use case for C++ is if you're already using it, or require a library that is only available in C++.

My general point is that people should make a commitment to upgrade, and set a course in that direction. The opposite approach is the wait and see mentality, which leads companies waiting in perpetuity because they collectively never adopt better languages due to the sunk cost fallacy.

It's exactly the big companies that need to commit, because they have the resources to invest in sanding down the kludges and kinks and making Rust really better than C++ in every way, and it's in the early stages of Rust's development were senior C++ talent could really help set the direction of Rust based on what we've learned from C++.

I am continually amazed that we're able to buy better and cheaper processors that no one could have dreamed about at such power/cost 50 years ago.

I estimate it would take me and you maybe 1 year to learn how to build / assemble most things you find in your house that cost $1000 in a store -- a couch, a rug, even a simple kitchen appliance (the dumb kind).

But a CPU / computer? I could not invent that given 10,000 years, and yet you can buy one for $100. Amazing.

At first it made me want to be a pragmatic parent when I have kids, but over time of rereading it I've realized that given the opportunity I'd probably perpetuate the same system in an effort to not have my child be the odd man/woman out.

> Is the outrage over the college admissions scandal about the actions of rich parents and corrupt officials, or that it might force us to confront the myth of meritocracy?

What do the actions of a small number of people in the admissions story have to do with this much broader claim that meritocracy is a myth?

Per https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/investigations-college-admis... there are 50 people charged thus far, which includes not just parents of students but also administrators, athletic coaches, etc. This spans a set of universities that in aggregate admit tens of thousands of students per year. So this entire story seems like a blip and is not motivation enough to rethink the notion of a meritocracy in general.

> We often fail to recognize that merit comes from privilege. Personal tutoring, SAT and ACT test prep courses, access to good schools, and taking expensive AP exams doesn’t indicate academic potential, just wealth.

I don't think success displayed with assistance from tutoring/coursework/etc. can be said to be a result of just wealth. It still takes time, focus, and dedication to turn that into a good result - and these are traits that not everyone displays.

I also don't think the existence of such resources diminishes the notion of a meritocracy in general. There are students who didn't attend great schools or have test prep tutoring or attend prep who have good scores nonetheless. I knew many such students personally, and the fact that they do exist indicates merit is more than "just wealth" since there IS a path to good scores even without those resources.

Lastly, I am not sure that wealth should be viewed negatively in a broader conversation about merit. Often times, parents work hard to save up and give their children amenities and advantages that better their life. For many parents, that is what they exclusively work for. The meritocracy is still present in those situations - you can see it over a broader time scale, if you zoom out and and apply the concept across multiple generations. And that's not a problem for me - I think parents are allowed to help their children succeed in this world.

This would be fine. But this is not what people mean when they say "science is real." They mean: "Believe what scientists say," and the definition of a scientist is... a person with a post-graduate degree that is popular on Facebook, probably, like Neil deGrasse Tyson.

I suspect it's not going to be like that forever, although I could be wrong. No self respecting AI shop will send them anything production-grade if that's how they want to play it. It'll all be hobbyists and bullshit projects, which, I suspect, is not the clientele they want to attact if it's even a somewhat serious cloud/IoT play. Although this is Google, so it could be canceled in 6 months, too, after the project managers and TLs get their promotions.

Google should license this thing to someone else who can make it in good quantity and sell it really cheap, so others build it into their designs. I'd be pretty excited if that happened.
Because renting it is extra work and extra risk. You have to deal with finding someone to rent it to and then you have to keep inspecting the house to make sure they haven't wrecked it and then you have to fix any issues they report. Where as buying and selling later is very low maintenance.
Oh man you missed the giant shitshow in the past few weeks. Google finally rolled out data calling support on their Android and iOS clients.

Google being Google completely fucked up the UX on inbound call routing. Lets say you enabled data calling to try it out because why not, they actually put something in the changelog other than 'bugs and fixes'. This will immediately break inbound calling and de-select routing calls to your phone numbers over carrier. Then if you reverted the setting to carrier, it just make it so calls went nowhere.

I've had a Google Voice number as my primary for over a decade, it took me a few days to notice none of my calls were ringing inbound. It took me over a day to figure out how to re-enable it, because you couldn't just have the line paired, you had to enable inbound calling in the app to both the phone and the app.

Google still maintains two different panels for Google Voice. This has been the case for a couple years now. Both have different features, anything important like porting and setting up voicemail manually will have to happen through 'legacy Google Voice'. It's insane.

As an individual developer, I don’t know a platform and framework that lets me do more with my time. I used rails recently for a new project to act both as the backend for an iOS app, an auth management system, a asynchronous worker manager, an upload manaager, and BI tool.

Combined with the mature gem ecosystem and clear mechanics for putting everything together, I was up and running immediately, and was able to continue adding features and refining without issues.
Unfortunately the first is a big if. The people who are having 4, 5, 6 kids or more are not interested in getting them educated. This only perpetuates the cycle of illiteracy and poverty.
