First of all the "legitimate interest" part only works if the publisher can prove that the user data is only used for the stated purpose.

The fact that a third party server handles this is a problem. Because then the publisher has to have a data processing agreement in place with the third party.

This is what makes Google Analytics problematic too. The collection of analytics for improving the service can be a legitimate interest, however the data amendment for Google Analytics basically passes the blame on the publisher. I don't think many publishers read carefully Google's data processing amendment, otherwise they would drop usage of Google Analytics. Actually most publishers aren't even with GDPR for more serious reasons, like not anonymizing the user's IP or sharing data with Google for the purposes of ads targeting.

And there are many questions to be asked here.

Is that data private, for the use of the publisher in question, or is this a shared pool of knowledge between publishers?

If the later, then we have a problem, because even if there is a legitimate interest, it only applies to the publisher being visited. Can a user be blocked due to a profile that was built on another website? We are in murky waters.

---

Then there's always the question ... does the publisher really have a legitimate interest?

Claiming that you can have one under the law, doesn't mean you actually have it. There's a set of conditions that you have to comply with.

For example for the purposes of preventing fraud, at the very least you have to be able to show that fraud is possible. Just because you have a login form that's about managing the user's color preferences on the website doesn't mean that you can transmit the user's traffic to Google.

The requirements for legitimate interests are hard to comply with. And I have a hunch that in this case many websites won't comply.
A fantastic, cheap country where almost everybody speaks OK english, great and amazingly helpful people. And the most important thing - completely unspoiled by mass tourism. You just don't see that in the world where there is actually something to see anymore.

I gained much respect for persians and their history when doing a short trip there (Mont Damavand, Isfahan, Yazd & desert, Tehran).

Losing an ESTA for such an enriching experience? Definitely worth it. Plus when I flew through Miami last year, I had already new passport and all was OK.

When was the last time the "people" were asked if they agree with the size of their country's army ?

EDIT: we agree to disagree but my impression is that when it comes to army and security services the tail is wagging the dog almost everywhere - not only in US. Any congressman can be presented with classified information which with the right interpretation can justify basically anything and the said congressman will simply ignore the public will.

Although I have never used Julia, this is something that is possible in Ruby, and I think this feature is seriously underrated – i.e. to be able to jump quickly to the definition of external code, modify it and run it. When you work with multiple libraries/repo this is very valuable when debugging, saves a lot of time.

It should also be possible with Node.js I think (node_modules).

The interesting part is I feel like sites that do this cultivate a lot more trust in the products they’re advertising. It’s fewer impressions maybe, but having a publisher who actually stands by their ad buys does a lot to confer legitimacy, especially for brands or companies that aren’t well known.

I am not so sure about that. These are graphs for steel production in the US:

Looking at 5 years or more there doesn't seem to be such big increase in steel production.

And coal is in decline:

Also I read quite a few articles over the last year about closing down of coal mines, mainly in PA and WV.

This article is trash. It's basically saying "But Ive's focus on slim design and minimalism meant sacrifices had to be made in terms of repairability".

Well guess what, that's a design decision and we live in a free market - so if you don't like it you're welcome to buy a different laptop or phone. The fact that these design decisions have been integral to making Apple one of the most valuable companies in the world probably indicates they were good design decisions.

At least in the US, every 2 years. Congress funds the military and determines its size.
The Blonde's administration and open support for barbaric regimes and murderers like Saudi prince, Erdogan etc. does much more evil in this world than what China did in last 10 years. Even if it would be equal, US can't have any moral high ground in today's world.

They could fix tons of problems if they really wanted. But in reality Russians had to enter fight with ISIS to actually make a change. Makes you wonder if US army is really that incompetent or politics took over as usually.

FastAPI now has full support for all ORMs: SQLAlchemy, Peewee, Mongoengine, etc.
FastAPI now supports all* ORMs by deeply integrating with Pydantic's ORM mode.

That allows you to declare the data you want to return to an API client using Pydantic models and FastAPI will extract that data (via Pydantic) from any object (any ORM) that you return in your function.

That means that you can return a model using SQLAlchemy, Peewee, GINO, Mongoengine, ElasticSearch DSL, etc. Anything that has an interface like user.name (compared to user["name"]).

And it will be converted to JSON and returned correctly to the API clients.

Note: You can still return dict-like objects and they will work as usual. ORM mode is in addition to that.

You can, for example, declare a Pydantic model with a sub-model for a relationship and the specific fields that you want to return from that relationship. And FastAPI (using Pydantic ORM mode) will make the ORM fetch the data for that sub-model (for the relationship), will serialize it and return the JSON version in the request.

All this while being automatically documented, validated, converted (serialized), etc.

This includes support for things like:

* lazy-loading

* hybrid properties

* relationships

* etc.

Check the updated tutorial here: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/sql-databases/

* Note: The integration is actually independent of each specific ORM, it doesn't assume anything about them, not even expecting them to expose dict-like interfaces. That way, it's compatible with virtually all of them.

the amount of sites asking me to identify fire-hydrants and traffic lights has dramatically increased since I turned on content-blocking that ships out of the box in firefox. Have been aggressively blocking already before (combo of: UBO, NandoDefender and steve black#s host file), but since turning on this inside FF ... there is no peace.

Anyone got some URL's that I can block all captcha attempts or does it mean I have to also sinkhole www.google.com[1] ?

As a gay person I don't see that at all. My sexuality has always been a major hot button such that as a boring, tech-obsessed geek who mostly keeps to himself my presence has been a major source of gossip in my home town, at school, at the places I have worked, and in the urban neighborhoods where I have lived.

As far as I can tell this is mostly related to the psychological mechanism of Altruistic Punishment. Calling someone out on their perceived flaws generates an immediate boost in social status and provides opportunities for bonding. Whether this is the mechanism or not, it is an undeniable fact that my being gay has been a major issue for me in essentially every social context.

When I march in Pride Parades or insist on equal insurance coverage at work this is not me promoting myself or my homosexuality at all. This is me attempting defend myself from the crushing an inescapable force of homophobia in this culture. If people would stop promoting their issues with homosexuality then none of this would be necessary. I am just a person with the same issues and needs as everyone else. It is rampant homophobia that does the most to promote homosexuality as an issue and subject for discussion.

Amazon has a bunch[0] but couldn't really vouch for any of them, I mainly use Apple TV (not just for airplay.) I've also seen these things in pretty much any electronics store I've been the past couple of years, particularly ones in touristy areas – I guess plenty of people like to cast video to hotel room TVs maybe?

A buddy of mine used a dongle for his big screen pre-streaming features era TV. He mainly used it to stream games from his phone or iPad to the TV, and Netflix. I think it was chromecast though, not airplay, but same difference really.

I think that remote working is psychologically hard. I trust that most people can pull it off short term; long term is more difficult.

There’s also the fact that most people I’ve known in my work need to learn to work when they graduate (I hire mostly graduates). I’d trust someone with 5 years’ experience to know what is generally expected from them if they work remotely; I’d be much more concerned about a graduate. Telling them what “working” means is much harder than them breathing it daily around them at the office.

Another topic is that it can be fairly difficult to measure actual performance, and remote work takes from you several proxies. It might make you more objective - but it might make you less accurate and force you to accept lower performance due to the “benefit of the doubt”.

Your post confused me. I though you were saying that this report was to be suspicious because is coming from an organization that maybe have ties to China.

But it seems this report have nothing to do with that organization, but with some European universities.

So, what are you saying? that the report is right but 'maybe' it was funded by another country because you don't like it?

Sliced Score Matching: A Scalable Approach to Density and Score Estimation
Bit ironic since I left the game industry about a year ago. If you'd like to elaborate I'm all ears, or happy to talk privately (see my profile).

In my spare time I created a real estate finding tool focused on bike and train routes, which I hope indirectly has helped interested people avoid car-centric commutes and lifestyles while not spending insane amounts of money to be in the hippest areas. Apparently it's been useful in my immediate neighbourhood, at least.

But, as everyone else here notes, I've got bills to pay (fewer than most if I'm honest, though) and for now am just trying to destroy some debt.

I'm not sure to be honest. Google is the company that probably has the most value in its AI projects but the money it makes from advertising dominates. You could argue that buying Tesla stock is a punt on its 'full self driving' stuff but TSLA is not really soaring and people don't believe them.
Yea, Trump wouldn’t want to tarnish his name by buddying up to a human rights abuser like China. That would be like turning a blind eye to the abuses of Saudi Arabia, Russia, and North Korea. /s

That's pretty disingenuous - its not reasonable to ask the average person to take into consideration the intricate nuances of design and its impact on society when making a buying decision. If we live in a free market (we don't, by the way - especially not in the EU where I live, and thank goodness for that!), then surely it is the onus of the business to promote positive choices for society in their product selection? Because if not them, and not the state, then who else?
The Indian Government is extremely inept at assessing at technological needs. Aadhar is a good example of what came out of the Indian Government (technically Nilekani & Co.).

>The only solution to this is better education that teaches critical thinking rather than mechanical parroting-exams based system that is widespread today in majority of the world.

As long as...

a) The politicians find it easier to manipulate dumb voters and realize that voters with good critical thinking skills are more capable of calling out their BS.

and

b) The bureaucrats deciding what gets taught in public school are ultimately accountable to people appointed by and accountable to politicians

and

c) Most of the voting public gets a public school education.

...we will never have a general public with good critical thinking skills.

Now, before anyone puts words in my mouth, no there isn't some grand conspiracy to keep the proles stupid, it just so happens that there's a disincentive to making them smart and making them smart takes resources so obviously there's no will to get it done.

You'd be surprised how much good stuff the government doesn't do is attributable to this incentive structure.
Trio: The on-the-go dual and triple screen laptop monitor
Both GH and TFA are raising a pretty classic "structure of scientific progress" trade-off: communities that are well organized around specific {theories, datasets, metrics, hardware, software} greatly accelerate progress within the box, and exclude progress outside it.

The way around has always been the hard work of creating your own box - ideally starting with questions, then theories, then methods, and so on.

What's not available is instant attention/accolades/funding for work that presents beautiful methods without first building a community that cares about the problems those methods solve and agrees on a definition of success. So, folks with radically new ideas should focus on rallying others to agree on that definition. I see a lot of good work these days introducing new problem definitions and datasets for that purpose.

The situation defacto is that china and the chinese has free access to our markets while we don't have free access to theirs.

The situation is that defacto china is benefitting from their developing nation status outcompeting western companies just on shipping prices.
