We already have it, and it's called BitTorrent. DNS as well.

What you call Internet is actually World Wide Web, just another protocol (HTTP) on top of Internet (TCP/IP), which was designed to be decentralised but lacked any worthwhile discovery mechanism before two students designed the BackRub protocol.
I did a few stupid things when I was around this age, but Internet was nearly non existent so it was mostly within LANs.

I agree that IoT is a real problem, and I fear people will realize too late, with an accident or something, but this kid should have known better, depending in how it unfolds he could be in trouble.

> you should be worried by the turbulence

Routine turbulence is about as dangerous as driving on a road that isn't quite smooth. It's well within the design capability of the airliner.

Pilots, ATC, and weathermen work pretty hard to avoid turbulence bad enough to be worrisome.

One important thing you are missing is that you are focusing on a single instance of a single program doing that. These caches are not shared among programs and unless you are only running a single program at a time in your OS, if every program does such resource abuse (not necessarily this particular type of abuse, but in not caring about resources in general) then you get a slow computer.

Computers feel as slow as ever (which was the topic a few nodes above) despite being much faster in theory not because of a single program but because all (or well, the overwhelming majority) the programs in your computer abuse resources - even if a little. It is death from a thousand little abuses.

Tbh I have the feeling search results get a lot worse as a result of google trying to guess what I am looking for. The occurrences of me not finding stuff where I know I used the right search terms increased a lot recently. If I search for cookies I want the results for cookies and nothing else. If the first few results ignore part of my search query something is seriously wrong.

What people are afraid of isn't Google having a negative effect by lack of motivation or technical competence, but the opposite. That Google will be very successful in doing what Google think is important while not taking anyone else's merit, interest or concerns seriously.

Being excited and not seeing a problem isn't so much reassuring as what people are afraid of. If you do end up being wrong and Google does gain too much influence from the perspective of someone outside of Google not only would you probably be getting a promotion but also be in a better position with more influence yourself since you are a part of Google.

So unless you are specifically convinced that what people are concerned about won't happen, which would be pretty hard to argue unless this activity differs substantially from others at Google, your comment doesn't really say much. As it doesn't speak to anyone else's interests.
There are some similarities, yes.

However what I believe to be very powerful is the caffeine + l-theanine combination (https://noocaf.com/blogs/articles/caffeine-theanine). On top of this we added ingredients that help to further reduce any jitters so you don't get pangs of anxiety with coffee (as a surprising number of people do, even to the point of not drinking coffee anymore) and some that are in general good for cognition and brain health.

As for the price: we aren't a mega corporation. It's not cheap to start something like this, but I aim to reduce prices as we scale.

Implying I care about making music? It's a different hobby all together. They merge to some extent, but I enjoy designing synths much more than I do making music on them.

I enjoy the act of building. A person interested in writing software doesn't have to care about using the software. A person interested in fixing and building kit cars doesn't have to care about driving them. A person working out can be doing it because they enjoy it, not because they care about any end goal. A person baking bread doesn't always have to eat it. A person painting a picture doesn't have to adorn it on the wall when they're done.

There's a lot more to hobbies then just what you get at the finish line. The process is often much more fun than the result at the end of it, or what you can do with that end product.

>You're comparing urgent care to ER to somehow argue people view both DDoS and food poisoning in dollars?

No. I'm responding to:

>If you went around and asked people whether their restaurants should be shut down for unsanitary practices, do you think you would get a response on the same planet as what you would get if you asked them about their IoT devices getting shut down?

They should, yes. I don't really think they do though. Botnets cause them harm (they're often used to hide the source of hacks, which often target financial info, which does affect millions of people), but it's often further removed than food poisoning, so it's harder for them to identify the cause. They're also usually more attached to purchases of things that work for longer than a meal lasts.

People don't have visceral reactions to things in line with what they should rationally fear. I don't think anyone would debate that. I'm arguing DDoS (and everything else botnets are used for) are in that "does not get an appropriately strong reaction" category.

I think "Reality has a surprising amount of detail" [0] is a better restatement of this same basic idea.

Also, I don't think it's true that humans are "incapable of grasping non-linear, complex interactions" -- it's just that hard things are hard. If you can save yourself a huge amount of effort by using a first-order approximation, you should absolutely do that if you can get away with it. There's a reason civil engineers don't typically concern themselves with relativistic effects.

There are tonnes of other approaches to machine learning that don't involve backprop!

All billionaires have an army of support. Even if Trump didn't handle the details, he was still on the forefront on high end deals, not sitting in the back and letting some CEOs do them (which many heirs do).

Lots of dullards with dad's cash just spent it on women and booze or lose everything, Trump kept it (if he didn't increase it, considering the bankruptcies and re-emergences) and made his name a kind of brand.

He is not gracious or polished (he's an American businessman after all, that's par for the course), but he does have the P.T Barnum kind of spirit (which is not exactly that of the dullard).

And even if we forget the business thing (say he had zero accomplishments there). The elections thing, he did mostly by himself. He obliterated opponents and won voters (including from his own party) starting from zero, when media and pundits gave him zero chances.

Could you or me?
I don't think that epsilon probability was what the article was referring to as worrying about turbulences in general?
While I understand that Kitsplit can't cover everything and reimburse all because that would have the thieves put them out of business, from this story it is very clear I will never use such services to rent equipment. We're not talking a few hundred dollars here, we're in the thousand dollar range if not more.

The website says theft is covered but theft is not declared as theft but "parting" which itself is not covered. Since all thefts on the platform will be defined as "parting" the website is clearly misleading usrs. If parting is the outcome of what non-lawyers call "theft" then it should be explained on the web site, and strongly suggested to people using the service to subscribe an insurance for "parting" if it happens.

If a solution is not found for this, I do not see how KitSplit can stay afloat. As more and more people get scammed, sonner or later that company will find itself in court. And even if they do win and show good faith, the damage will be done, and people will stop using that idea (which is a good one).
Hand dryers can also spread airborne bacteria onto your hands. Perhaps modern dryers include intake filters to address this issue, but the filter would need replaced on a regular schedule, which is probably not a realistic expectation for most restroom facilities.

Have you experimented with having confidence level filters on your detections and further training the model with more data on the types of object you are trying to detect in the environments that they appear? Depending on what you are doing, it might just be a case where some fine-tuning of the model would solve your accuracy problem.

Sorry if this is an obvious suggestion and you've already tried all that.
> 60GB of RAM (EC2 c3.8xlarge)" which I wouldn't even pay for.

The point isn't to restrict benchmarks to only high-end machines. The point is to use a stable standard that people wouldn't have trouble running for a few hours. I can rent a machine of that identical type for 20 hours, or buy an RPi, for the low price of $35.

> about as powerful as my 5 year old air, 1.4GHz quadcore vs 1.6GHz quadcore

Core counts and clock speeds do not translate to comparable computing power across processor families and instruction sets. E.g., the RPi 4 (1.5GHz, quadcore) is announced to deliver 3x the performance of an RPi 3B+ (1.4GHz, quadcore), and that's on the same instruction set.
I don’t mind them in general. Some of the new high speed ones are absolutely horrendous in this regard. Literally hurts my ears even a couple meters away

IB was willing to take me, a US citizen residing in Germany, but the account was opened with their UK branch and falls under EU rules (no non-EU ETFs, for example).

As a US citizen, you do not want any non-US-domiciled ETFs; PFIC is a nightmare.

Schwab, on the other hand, opened a US-based account for me even though I was quite open about my German address and tax residency, and I can buy regular US-domiciled, low-cost index-tracking ETFs, which frankly is the only thing a non-enthusiast like me should be touching with their retirement money.

> Hoover made £30m in extra sales, and had to spend £50m on flights, and unknown compensation.

This is impressive, but it seems to understate Hoover's problems pretty dramatically. The Wikipedia article says this:

> at this point the consumer response increased enormously, as Hoover was offering around £600 of airline tickets for an outlay of just £100. Customers opted to purchase the cheapest product that was enough to satisfy the £100 requirement, with some not even bothering to pick up the product they had purchased. The Hoover factory had to switch to seven-day working and hire additional employees to meet the demand for the cheapest qualifying vacuum cleaner.

This sounds like a lot of additional expense in labor and materials, all of which was basically wasted.
Kudos to the great research.

> What makes you expect this? Unless you and I have read entirely different versions of GDPR, no provision of GDPR requires any warning of any kind prior to issuing fines.

It's not in GDPR because it's part of EU law. Two parties to a case need to attempt to fix it before going to court. In the UK this is why you have letters before action setting out what you think your case is, how you want it to be fixed, and what you'll do if it isn't fixed. You don't just leap to issuing court papers straight away.

'getting uptake' is not the same as being 'pushed'. In fact, the former sounds a lot like 'pull'.
It can go on for a long time indeed. The issue is that eventually your infrastructure is hopelessly outdated. And your key industries run by goldbricks whose core competence is demanding subsidies and hand outs.

See the US steel industry for an example. It was a long hard fight but we did it. The US steel industry went from being a world leader to not particularly important in 50 years.

> Though note, the RasPi 3 B+ is actually about as powerful as my 5 year old air, 1.4GHz quadcore vs 1.6GHz quadcore.

I don't think that's an apples to apples comparison. The Pi 3 doesn't have an out-of-order CPU so can't do instruction level parallelism. The new Pi 4 is better in this regard, but both are handily beaten by Intel CPU's from the last 10 years.

How to overlay your background images
Incorrect. You're moving the goal posts. Let's stay on the topic-at-hand, yeah?

The OC comment was:

>I expect there would have been a warning given in that case before assessing a fine.

To which your initial retort was:

>What makes you expect this? Unless you and I have read entirely different versions of GDPR, no provision of GDPR requires any warning of any kind prior to issuing fines.

When you started receiving the downvote storm is when you challeneged for proof that the GDPR requires warnings.

I gave a response that supports the OC's position, that a warning could and would be expected; not because of requirement but because it is up to the discretion of the supervisory authority.

After all, the initial challenge that was given to the OC was, "What makes you expect this?" was it not?

Now, it's your turn to disprove that a warning would be expected. I'll wait...
Sadly, this attitude goes a long way towards explaining why all software is garbage and computers feel about the same speed now as they did in 1998, despite being literal orders of magnitude more powerful.

Maybe we'll eventually hit hard physical limits on hardware, and then we software developers will be forced to learn how to do our jobs correctly for the first time.
You have to start somewhere. See also: GDPR - it's already made enough waves that other nations and even some US states are considering similar legislation.
My kids get nervous as soon as they even see a hand dryer. They start crying when it's on. I thought they were exaggerating, it never occurred to me that sound levels for kids are different because they are smaller (though it makes complete sense). That, coupled with higher sensitivity to noise and more delicate hearing canals of youngsters kind of make me feel like a bad parent for trying to let them use the dryers anyway (Even though I have long since given up). This kids research proves my kids right, and I am not easily convinced ;) Great accomplishment for I should listen to my kids.
