Wow, very cool. This sounds like a lot of existing projects but done in a much cleaner fashion.

If it was mentioned, I missed it, but I’m really curious to hear how things like cffi, etc. end up working. It may, with work, be possible to statically link CPython extensions, but cffi seems like a whole new packaging problem.

To avoid the X-Y problem, I’ll state a high level goal. Let’s say I want to release an application using PyQt. Can PyOxidizer handle this in any way today? In the future, does PyOxidizer plan on handling any more of the problem? Since existing Python packaging infrastructure doesn’t attempt to answer problems like this, it’d be awesome to see new initiatives that do.
> Worse, he enabled automated periodic VM snapshots with his VPS provider, so is not properly complying with deletion requests.Worse, he enabled automated periodic VM snapshots with his VPS provider, so is not properly complying with deletion requests.

This is typical FUD. GDPR allows backups. Right to be deleted doesn't mean grovelling through backups. If those snapshots are rotated out after e.g. 3 months he is fine.

And regarding sanitizing altitude. Again pure FUD. There is no way that that would be a problem.

Of course if he stores the data in a personally identifying way and then is either incompetent or abusive then he could attract a fine...

In the real world GDPR enables such websites because users can trust that he has to follow some minimum standards.
> So combining an airplane altitude sensor at 0.1Hz with a 10Hz fuel sensor, starts giving you trouble in SQL because the question someone might ask is "when the plane was at 31,000 feet, at 0.85 mach, what was the fuel rate", while the plane might have gone from 30,999 to 31,001 feet without ever recording the intermediate point.

Actually it doesn't help. I don't appreciate how the victims aren't compensated and what should only be considered a business is allowed to continue operating. Nobody goes to jail or anything. Wish I was born into a society that didn't have religion. Also the downvotes make me think I'm right to assume religious people are just narcissists that care so much about their views to ignore others that were severely wronged.

Hepatitis A, B and Swine Flu. You can literally buy little plastic condoms for your e-cigs. Don't pass that e-cig in the club kids.

On a different note, as someone who's used e-cigs to wean off cigarettes and eventually quit altogether, this ban is pants-on-head puritanical stupidity.

How do you consider these observations to say anything about the topic of this sub-thread? Yes, we spend a lot on health care, and we're spending more all the time. That indicates that we should make some changes, but it doesn't indicate that this particular change wouldn't work. "Hard facts" that are completely irrelevant are not convincing.

Yeah, they've been pretty deliberate about moving away from 'i' names lately. In macOS Catalina, even iTunes will be gone, replaced by Music.app. iMessage -> Messages, iBooks -> Books, etc. iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, iMac are the biggest holdouts, and they haven't named a new product iSomething for many years now.

Yes. To both questions.

Online marketing isn't clever or innovative, it's just using all the tricks that people wouldn't put up with in a face-to-face sales environment. 20 years ago when I bought my first car the salespeople used things like "I've sold 5 of these today!", "I can only do that price right now!" and "If you don't buy today you'll have to wait 8 weeks". Those pressure selling techniques are one of the reasons people don't like car salespeople, and why car showrooms are a bit different today (eg Tesla). Exactly the same things happen online though, and it's awful.

> working with an in-house Clojure library (not entirely dissimilar to Haskell)

Clojure is actually very different from Haskell. The pervasive use of "dynamic" features, including the lack of a satisfactory type system, does mean that Clojure code can be expected to be inherently less reviewable, surveyable and auditable, which is exactly what you found.

I Could not find this one mentioned: some lodging sites add obligatory costs

(e.g.,
"All prices (expressed in Euros) exclude € 27.50 reservation fee, obligatory: € 7.95 p.p. bed linen per person per stay, € 6.95 p.p. cot linen, tourist tax € 1.85
")

some countries requires that everything obligatory is included in the main price, or at least displayed with the same font, size, and placement.

this pattern should be generally illegal IMHO.
The fact it is a Chinese company is all the evidence needed. Huawei is subject to China's 2015 National Security Law, which grants the Chinese government the power to force Chinese companies to provide assistance in matters of national security. In other words, if Chinese intelligence wanted Huawei to secretly introduce a backdoor, it would be a legal order and unlawful for Huawei to resist. What makes you think the US needs to have evidence beyond that when this impacts critical infrastructure and national security? Why take the risk?
Glad to see some enforcement. Reputable companies have used resources ensuring compliance. Good to see it hasn't been wasted.
Law of nature. Anything that could benefit a few parties will happen.
Great article, thank you.

As for BoJo, he is smart as a fox. Trump is the same. They make 1-2 stupid things, so people call them stupid. On the back side they scheme and plan. Haters see the stupid actions and hate. They play a game of chess, sacrificing a pawn (some 'credibility' by saying something stupid), and while people are getting tired of their artificial stupidity, they march on doing their thing left alone.

Someone who managed to be the mayor of London, then get in the Parliament, then managing to be in the top 2 candidates for Prime Minister, have a net worth of a couple of million (of the £€$ we know), he CANNOT be THAT stupid. He plays the game and he's winning. I don't like the man. But I don't like him because I don't like his policies, his ideas, and I don't like Brexit.

But as a politician/player, he's rocking this game.

People who think Boris is stupid, are completely missing it. He is like Varoufakis. He sees an opportunity and grabs it. Maybe the 'bet' will pay off, maybe it will not. But: Mayor of London --> Minister of "Foreign Affairs" --> Prime Minister.. I call that an intelligent human being.
> Ultimately I believe this is a cognitive bias that we're just going to have to learn to let go of.

Unfortunately I don't think this is merely cognitive bias. It's actually built into our legal system at a pretty fundamental level: machines are held to a higher standard than humans when it comes to failures with grave consequences.

And keep in mind, this system only achieves the same accuracy as doctors. What is the wnd benefit, other than shifting where money flows?

Do you really think this benefit is substantial enough that we will se major overhauls of tort law in all US states and in every country in the rest of the world?
can you tell us more about the rest ?
So, this is true for some but not all of them.

It also doesn't require them to be cooked to 160, that is a gross oversimplification of food safety that is used to prevent people doing stupid things and not trying to remember tables.

It's really a combination of temperature and time.

Here's a version of the real table:

(the most current and updated one is at the end of https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/bf3f01a1-a0b7-4902...)

So sous vide of these steaks at 140 for 2 hours would easily be as safe as cooking them to 160.

Ask HN: Best way to group data using machine learning without clustering?

The great thing about TFA is we can stop speculating and see what the regulators are actually doing.

>After the controller succeeded to identify the data subjects he refused to comply with the deletion request, arguing he is legally obliged to retain backup copies according to the Accountancy Act and internal policies. Since he did not properly inform about these policies, the NAIH held the controller breached the principle of transparency.

So maybe if his backup regime were precisely specified in his privacy policy. But even a conflicting legal requirement is no defense, here.

Regarding minimization, 4 other cases:

>During an inspection, the Lithuanian Data Protection Supervisory Authority found that the controller processed more data than necessary to achieve the purposes for which he was a controller.

>Data was not only processed if adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed

> The video surveillance subject of the proceedings is therefore not limited to areas which are under the exclusive power of control of the controller.

> The Commissioner considered that the aim could be achieved by referring only to the initials of their name and/or their faces being blurred and/or publishing photographs drawn from a distant distance

"Of course if he stores the data in a personally identifying way..." GDPR cares not for identifying but for identifiable. It's GPS data. If someone uploads data pertaining to their home, workplace, frequent travel routes, etc. then it is definitely identifiable.

Regarding FUD, it seems FUD is exactly what the DPAs intend, since they are punishing rather than helping when asked for advice!

>Kolibri Image had send a request to the Data Protection Authority of Hessen asking how to deal with a service provider who does not want to sign a processing agreement. After not answering Kolibri Image in more detail, the case was forwarded to the locally responsible Data Protection Authority of Hamburg.

That's not at all like any of the "big bang" migrations that I've been involved in unfortunately.

Unless what you're doing is content-agnostic String manipulation (i.e. a function to concatenate arbitrary Strings), this type signature wouldn't make sense. And since there are only a small number of meaningful content-agnostic string manipulations, I've already got a solid guess that this is probably doing concatenation! It could also possibly be doing substitution, or a few other things, but not much before it becomes a gaping code flaw that the types in use are still 'String'. Concatenating a person's name with a country name doesn't make sense. Nor does searching for a street address in a month. A type signature like String -> String-> String should only show up down in the implementation details of helper functions, or on the signatures of content-agnostic library functions.
He's certainly very intelligent. He went through Eton on a scholarship and then Balliol Colledge at Oxford also on scholarship (although only took an upper second). It would be pretty difficult to have a better educational pedigree. According to Wikipedia he was notoriously lazy at school, which may have accounted for not getting a first.

I've been told by acquaintences who knew him at Oxford that he definitely plays the bumpkin card, but is in reality very, very shrewd. I think he did a good job as Mayor of London. His views are pretty much diametrically opposed to mine, but I suspect that he will become Prime Minister and will probably do a pretty good job (though I might not be happy with the outcome -- competence in people with differing goals is not always a good thing ;-) ). I guess we'll see how it goes.

To some extent wealth and the comfort you can buy with it does reduce dependence on others and can help someone become isolated, since you don’t need help or favors and don’t need to engage in reciprocal social activities, since you can just pay for things. It doesn’t necessarily cause isolation, but it definitely helps someone who intentionally or unintentionally want to become socially isolated.
No doubt that was a massive influence, but we all know every presidents' son is also a president, specially in USA.

My car saved my ass.

Southern Illinois, destination Niagara. Going through one small town after another. Flat. Boring. Autopilot is on. Highway is 4 lane divided, no service road. Occasional farmers market roads.

Driving for a couple of hours, not much to see (and smell) but farmland. Southern Illinois is incredibly boring. Start to pass an 18-wheeler on my right.

Not paying 100% attention because... boring.

Car starts freaking out, loud warning signals. Engages the brakes, hard. Some old lady had pulled out to cross the highway, so that she was halfway in my lane. Couldn’t see her because of 18-wheeler. She couldn’t see me for the same reason. Stupid.

Car saw her before I did, took appropriate measures. I would have been in a nasty wreck if if I hadn’t had it. She probably would have died, because I would have hit her driver’s side. Would have been nasty regardless.

So three cheers for autopilot from this driver. Saved the day.

More. Please.
As someone who is not a car guy, but interested in EVs this is a good sign to me.

Tesla has done great work in exploring the space of how you make an EV that impresses Top Gear viewers.

I'm also interested in seeing similar progress for people who just want to get from A to B cheaply and efficiently and sadly few of the existing car makers seem to be taking EVs seriously yet. I've often thought that a different set of assumptions (e.g. not caring about topspeed) might lead to a better overall car, sounds like they are exploring this area.

Update 2: Gave up on MSYS2 and just used rustup. Managed to compile and run, but exit() doesn't work.

That would be an argument for not allowing Huawei to supply equipment for the US 5G network.* It is not, however, an argument for banning American companies from doing business with Huawei.

As the American head of the US-China Business Council said, it's one thing to ban Huawei from the US, but banning American companies from selling equipment to Huawei is more like "murder": https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/06/11/trump-trying-to-murder...

* An analogous argument could be used, of course, by other countries to justify banning American hardware in their own critical systems.

One prosaic explanation for social isolation in Canada in particular would be its relatively harsh winters which make being outside uncomfortable and unpleasant (i.e., cold, wet, dark) for much of the year, especially if you're old.
