> "The problem is that they will find ways to skirt around the edges of the GDPR as much as possible"

Many companies like to believe that, however the GDPR is pretty strict in certain regards. And such companies continue to operate only because no data protection authority has targeted them yet.

There's also the matter that many US companies have ignored GDPR due to not having a legal entity in the EU, but unfortunately for them there are trade agreements in place between the US and the EU, which makes the GDPR enforceable for companies having EU users / customers, even without a legal entity in the EU.

Give it time. And send complaints to your local DPA about violations that you see, because it does help.
I mean, the second one makes sense to me. Medical loves QT, and I can see them wanting easier integration of visual recognition models (think "detects breast cancer on an MRI" models) with the GUI. I could totally see wanting to really easily plug and unplug different models and overlaying their results, bringing you full circle to the GUI. Basically easier integration with complex heavily multipass GPGPU visual results.
I got burned because I paid for a year but they made their service intentionally unusable before I "made money" on the deal. But I new the risk going in, so that is one me.

But I a lot of people paid for a year and then got 1-2 months service before being cut off. That's basically a scam unless you claim VC immunity.
I really like the idea that there’s a big organization of workers who handle our alien information store, and the only person who gets to use it is the president.
DOJ Says It Never Offered Accused Vault 7 Leaker Joshua Schulte a Plea Deal
Hah, Google already showed off their "book a hair appointment and have a human-sounding robot call the salon for you", what the callees need is a robot that either try to figure out if it's the real IRS calling (although, wait, the IRS sends letters) or an Indian scammer. If it's the latter, then run the "tie them up unnecessarily" script.

Until the scammers figure this out and respond with their own bot. Then, just like Twitter, it'll be bots spamming each other..
I think it wasn't so much about MoviePass per se as it was about the idea that MoviePass symbolized something broken in the modern economy -- that what it rewards isn't productive entrepreneurship that creates value by making life better for people, but rather burning tons of cash to wedge yourself into a position from which you can then extract rents from other people. The valorization of unnecessary middlemen.
I don't understand why they would parse the XML on the fly. Qt's designer spits out *.ui XML files that are compiled by Qt's uic into the same plain old C++ you would write to create and arrange the widgets.

Lots of C++ Qt apps create their UIs from XML. They just do it at compile time.
The comment I replied to disputed the general notion that courts need to be able to compel behavior.

From a quick search, it appears that a trial in the US cannot begin without the defendant present, although it may proceed if they leave afterwards depending on circumstances.
so basically prosecutors are using rap lyrics as evidence when convenient to obtain a conviction (which the judge allows), and actively fighting in not allowing use of rap lyrics when the defendant offers it as exculpatory evidence as it might hurt the prosecutor's ability to obtain a conviction (which the judge allows)

these incentives are all messed up.
This is literally how musicians create new music. When I was in high school jazz band, every improvisation had pieces of popular jazz songs in it. That's just how it works.
> If the bore lining is theoretically a permeable structure in any well, then using fracking techniques would almost definitely make it more likely to crack, right?

It's not always permeable. It's more of a design issue because well completion is not a science, it's more of a process of optimizing production vs cost. You're not going to just use the thickest strongest metal there is everywhere.

> Therefore it's much more likely that a fracked well will contaminate layers above the production layer, right? Not to mention the fracking fluid contains extra materials which are likely the cause of any deleterious health effects.

Not necessarily. There's layers of permeable and effectively impermeable rock, depending on the fluid. Typical fracking depths are well below groundwater layers and separated by impermeable layers. Shale for example, is so tight that basically only methane flows through it because it's the smallest hydrocarbon. Fracking fluids (ex. water) + extra materials (such as sand, isopropyl alcohol) are used precisely because they can't flow through, build up pressure, and then physically create fractures in the production layer. The fluid can get lost as the rock fractures more and pressure drops, but this is monitored and again, is well below groundwater depth.
There was a lot more risk and costs too, hence limited supply, hence higher prices. You can't shift the supply curve to the right and expect prices to not move.
Yeah, as I said, this was primitive: Stanford NLP was used to extract keywords out of tweets and then it was down to measure the velocity of keywords.

In that case, everything impacts me and every argument I engage in should be a life or death argument.

In reality, it's not worth my time to argue if my taxes go up 25c per year or only go up 10c per year. Just writing this short comment has cost me more in dollars-per-hour than the difference in public pension fund taxes would.
This is misleading.

Their plan would also have worked had they needed to draw on it.

The fact that they didn’t need to draw on it has no bearing on whether their plan would have worked for them.
I still maintain that $HMNY (the parent company) stock was an interesting and unique case where the average person could buy shares in, essentially, an early stage startup that had tremendous consumer interest and growth.

Most of the time you see tech startups they are either in the seed/VC stage (you can't invest unless you are accredited and have connections) or the IPO stage (mega-companies that everyone has heard of).

Did it turn out poorly? Yes (Share price went from $35 to $1 for a while and then down to basically zero). But was it a good process? I think so!
The standard is Word, because Word allows for formatting and for version tracking and works well with DMS software.
I have their dataset. Email me for details.
I thought you were going to talk about Television industrial design (not the shows) which is another product category that's getting ridiculous because it won't get flatter. It's even starting to abandon technology/design, which they've fully tapped for variation, and is trying to make into art work these days which I guess is the end goal of all product design assuming it maintains its full utility. Some people just want a TV not a 60" framed piece of art sitting in the middle of their living room.

Product differentiation for the sake of differentiation is always a dangerous game. Someone posted here the other day about "peak products" where the product reaches an ideal state which is an interesting concept!

The problem is an obsession with constant newness misses stuff like privacy, customer support, longevity, etc. But they care more about having a new flashy SKU for next season which looks different.

Don't confuse margins with prices. I can't speak for the grocery stores, but at the producer level organic growing practices are higher cost. The farmer may get a higher price and yet also have a lower margin. That is certainly true for broad-field crops such as organic soy beans -- the higher price for organic at the grain terminal often does not make up for lower yields and higher input costs. I have seen broad-field crop farmers attempt organic and give it up as a risky, often money losing venture. (Source: I am a fly-over country landlord with skin in the game.)

Don't worry you'll be fine. It's the 40 year olds who don't like programming/learning who struggle, and produce the stereotypes.
But Windows does have strong separation between processes running in separate sessions. Steam actively goes out of its way to undermine this by giving all users permission to directly control a service with system level privileges.
I happened to go back to school fairly recently. I was required to take some humanities and social science classes.

I'd say there's a lot more diversity of opinion in the rest of the departments than there is in econ. I didn't get any sense of political agenda in the history department, and the sociology department seemed to be deliberately avoiding it.

I actually started university under the assumption that professors would be dogmatically pushing their agenda. I was wrong.
You could try, but I imagine most manufacturers/stores wouldn't give that info out to non-police. And some places might not even give it out to police without a legal warrant.
Is there a regularly updated copy of the U.S. Code available for download? Or a feed of individual passed bills? This seems tractable but I'm somewhat worried that the "free" version is bound volumes in the Library of Congress and the digital version belongs to some quasi-private agency out there that might sue me for attempting to republish the laws.
There was a German teacher in Norway who really hated how the Norwegian way of teaching German. In Norway the curriculi focusses a lot on grammar. This teacher decided to ditch all that in favour of speaking the language a lot more, however, and only teach grammar after the pupils had mastered the language reasonably well. This turned out great, and it even made it easier for the pupils to understand the grammar, because instead of using grammar to decipher how the language was supposed to be spoken, the pupils now used grammar as a way to describe what they already could speak. In other words, they didn't use "logic" to try to form sentences, as much as pure intuition.
Here's the story - HMNY ( Helios & Matheson Analytics - the parent company of MoviePass) is owned by an Indian company that filed for bankruptcy in 2016 and then re-emerged with MoviePass in the US.

The entire thing is probably a giant money laundering or tax evasion scheme.

All the old TEMPEST stuff probably works great when you're _inside_ the target's building.
The biggest problem was only “cherry pickers” bought the service. People who were already spending $10 a month or more in movie tickets. For it to work it needed to be a “breakage” play, like gym memberships.

Also theaters started getting non-movie-goers back in occasionally they may have been perceived as more valuable “conversions” and Moviephone admissions would have been discounted.

But it wasn't actually a computer. It was technically just a calculator. The way it was designed meant that it was not the Turing-complete and/or von Neutmann-type machine that we now describe as a computer. It did some things very very well, but was not a general purpose machine capable of running any program asked of it.
It's not the idiots that matter in this case, it's the innocents that the idiots harm because they've been stoked by especially heinous (and factually inaccurate) ideas.

best of luck with this, sounds like a great idea... there are always new improvements to be made to processes and you just found a great one.
If you view VC investments as a zero sum game then you could be justified in being upset that someone is wasting money that could be financing your company instead. I haven't heard anyone make that argument, however.

Well, I'm just coming at it from the perspective of observed efficacy in the real world. It's fine in a Kantian moral sense or whatever, if your goal is personal ethical edification. If your goal is to make things better it's a poor tool to rely on.

The problem's not so much that they can fail—any method can—as that they can fail with anything short of overwhelming and sustained support, that is, they can be wildly popular and still have no long-term effect at all. Better to look elsewhere—no amount of "if we'd all just do it, we could fix this!" will change that.

Again, as a personal choice, fine. As an alternative to more-effective means, no. It's not "arrogant", it's an outcome-focussed stance fitting with observed reality and current scholarship.

[EDIT] "They" being "movements mostly based on changes in personal behavior patterns, at some significant personal cost or risk"
I agree they should contact CS, however I wouldn’t get my hopes up for credit or lots of free stuff. After many similar issues (caused by both Amazon & FedEx), and multiple hours on the phone w/Amazon CS, the best I ended up with was having them flag my account to avoid Amazon Logistics deliveries whenever possible.

Now they’re usually fulfilled by UPS, and I don’t recall any issues since having the flag added.
Management TLDR
Why an attacker should spend 100$ , sending hardware to the target that could be potentially tracked following the path between the resellers, could transport evidences like fingerprints or DNA, using a telephone connection that could also be tracked when the same thing could be done with a good radio equipment and more discretion ? Anyway, I am the kind of guy that inspects the ATM praying to find out a skimmer to dissect, so if someone would send me all that cool stuff directly at home is welcome !

Moreover: battery. How many time a battery of reasonable dimensions could survive powering that kind of system ? exaggerating, 3 days without using a heavy use of the phone modem ? But let's say that in that time the attacker reach the target collecting WIFI keys that doesn't mean that he can compromise any PC or phone in the home network. So my advise is to send directly networking hardware compromised (i.e. an access point ) and, if your budget is 100$ , you can send a very nice piece of hardware to the target, avoiding that he throws all that stuff away (if he can't recycle all like me ). Again, if someone could send me a free, 100$ worth AP is welcome.
Indeed, this is what I was thinking.
For anyone interested in Japanese (and anime), there is a website called animelon that does this.
One thing I always wonder with these quantum teleportation/communication experiments is if they are actually dealing onesy twosy with photons or if it's like a particle accelerator where they are dealing with millions/billions and are just looking for the statistical outcomes and/or anomalies.
At this point in time, it's reasonably healthy to assume that everything has backdoors. The only place where information can be kept safe and hidden is deep within our minds. Any method used to share said information with another human being is subject to surveillance and backdoors. Only share what you don't mind being read by the state and it's friends.
Well it means that I can't presume that any given research paper I read is reasonable, or that the abstract has anything to do with the actual results they found. Which is a problem, because while I've found it relatively easy to tell if a paper is complete bullshit the academic writing style makes it really hard to skim a paper for those warning signs.

On the whole this means I need to use heuristics in order to try and understand research on the whole, and while I believe those heuristics are better than just taking the research as gospel, they're definitely worse than a properly functioning scientific community that does good research in the first place.
Nope. You don't have to code anything. That's the whole point. If you don't have a template, you start from a blank page and you build it using the GUI.

Unfortunately you'd be opening yourself up to lawsuits for any of your songs that have a passing resemblance to existing songs, since after all, you've created every chord progression and tempo!

Maybe if you keep a low profile and insisted on NDA's for settlements, you wouldn't get sued as much for "stealing" from every piece of music made prior to your [Mega Album] dropping. I'd also recommend getting the copyright registered, but remaining out of every music database you possibly could, to enhance the obscurity of it all.

Also, if you know someone is infringing on your work and you don't actively pursue it, you could lose your rights to the copyright, so you need to find a cabin in the woods to lay low for awhile until you're ready to sue everyone in existence.
I’m doubting what parent says, why would I need to disprove if they’re going by handwavy articles and personal anecdata?
So stupid they don’t use the MAC as the salt.
Ability to communicate effectively, especially in public, is an extremely valuable skill. Much more valuable than, say, knowing how to program.

That's all great IF you live in a new building that has ethernet throughout. I live in central London where there's fiber on my street and yet I can only get ADSL @ max 8MB/s. I'd happily pay some office next door to share their gigabit fibre with me over wifi. Why hasn't anyone solved this?
Because you are incorrectly interpreting it: it's not we must protect the world from bad ideas, it's that no one has a responsibility to host ideas that they disagree with.

I don't have to host Nazi speech and you are free to do so if you choose.
ZFS data volume. Haven't tried root yet (wasn't easily available when I created the volume). Still, a data volume in ZFS is so much better than the traditional md raid. Won't go back.
It doesn't look as bad if you skip the intermediate variable declarations, since you're not re-using those variables elsewhere.

The Crisis of American Loneliness
Juries are completely inappropriate tools for the job of deciding civil trials. Like lots of things that are crazy in the US the Americans did it as a perverse imitation of how England did it back when they became independent.

Today nobody else does this, England for example only really uses jury trial to decide serious criminal cases (for minor stuff there isn't a professional judge at all, a panel of lay magistrates decides, they mostly seem disappointed rather than angry - like parents whose teenager was caught smoking).

> Amazon put a flag on my old address to not use FedEx fulfillment because they had 100% failure rate.

Amazon will let you do that with every other carrier EXCEPT Amazon Logistics. The only way to get them blocked is prove your home is a prison, military base, or have experiences so horrible they have pity on you.
Their are plenty of cities with massive unfunded pension liabilities that are causing services to be cut, less policemen hired, less firefighters, larger classroom sizes, and/or much higher property taxes.
This would be great. Push back voluntarily on bad actors.
That latter paragraph sounds a lot like the things people say when they want to deny racism was part of the war on drugs.

What often gets missed is that high up members of the Republican party are on record as intentionally escalating the war on drugs to attack their enemies (black people and anti war hippies amongst others).

So if they thought that the war on drugs wasn't a "problem" but rather an opportunity, then they have no incentive to "solve" the problem, in fact quite the opposite. Any consequences that then follow from drug related crime must ultimately fall at their door, not the person they've led into addiction by policy.
Or you're using hardware from the 70s that they dropped from software support in the 90s and the software version you need won't run on anything newer than Win2k.
>The thing is, you get no money by looking out for others.

And our definitions of harm can greatly differ, to the point where two groups honestly believe the other group is doing harm. While some of these cases can be resolved with more knowledge, some of them depend upon ethical guidelines that are entirely subjective.
Would have hoped they would use bazel instead.

Why worry about crime when you’re not the victim? Because not constantly screwing each other over whenever possible is the fundamental basis for society. When somebody is pulling an obvious con, it’s reasonable to be concerned even when you’re not the target.
You must only be interested in Sociology I take it?
Yeah I think we're long overdue to reevaluate what copyright means in music. I think it should be much closer to how we treat fashion where anything but a direct rip off is 100% fair game (and that is even more about trademarks because the actual design can't be copyrighted).
In what sense? This seems like a great tool for trend forecasting, and hedge funds are constantly spending millions for this sort of data.

It is amazing to see how large, fat, over-engineered frameworks are taking over the internet. Not only it is easy to backdoor but usually they consume an enormous amount of memory and CPU. Not sure how we ended up here.
That's actually another difference, although I think its small:

Scheme allows multiple arguments, RPL cannot. I.e.

(+ 1 2 3 ) evals to 6,

1 2 3 + evals to 1 5

RPL cant add your entire stack because presumably you have stuff in your stack you want to keep and not add.

But, if we put that aside, if RPL allowed:

[ 1, 4, 5, 6, [4 ,2 1, 6]]

where [] represent stacks, i.e. a stack can be an object in the stack, then the RPL would be very close to lisp.

Which is very close to what this min does.
