He did. It was in today's column.

In describing what would happen if all of them died and the trust had to be shut down:

"...money could move from SPY I to SPY II by passing a basket of S&P 500 stocks from SPY I to a bank trading desk, and from that trading desk to SPY II, without ever selling it in the market..."

"...the assets of SPY I would pretty efficiently move over to SPY II, and the price of the underlying stocks would not be affected. Some retail investors wouldn’t want to move, because the move would trigger taxable gains for them, but over 20 years that problem would mostly go away as they cash out naturally. By 2039, the trust’s accelerated end date, SPY I would be pretty small and the real S&P 500 index ETF action would be in SPY II. No one would have to dump stock along the way, and the short-selling supervillain would never be rewarded for his evil deeds."
Any centralized identity system solves a problem we don't have. It doesn't simply serve to identify a person. It serves to aggregate an identity and tie together extremely disparate and unrelated data. It enables a data leak or abuse to not just compromise one service, but all of them at once. If there is a leak of data from, say, a dating site that involves dumping the public keys of the users alongside the user activity associated with it, then the credit card company and electric company and water company and the gaming forum you signed up for and multitudes of other utterly unrelated organizations now have the ability to correlate your dating activity with your activity on their service. The identities on all of those separate systems being the same identity is the problem a centralized system solves. And it's a problem we have never had.

I am not even remotely suggesting we use robots as any sort of guide post for ethics.

I agree, that these things end up bad, but that is my point.

If it's a robot we _should_ be equally outraged, but it's actually not possible unless the robot is _designed_ to be racist.

This is the real concern, humans will be replaced by robots because outrage will simply have less impact. And therefore because we couldn't stomach humans being racist (or whatever the answer is here?) we have to live with robots doing whatever they are designed to do, without any recourse.

The unbalanced outrage will lead to an army of robots running our legal system.
Yep, a related question you might ask is: Would machine learning end slavery, or perpetuate and strengthen it, assuming it existed today as an accepted mass societal institution.

Consider it would likely be wealthy slaveholders that would aggressively deploy it first, being as they hold most of the capital, and have the most to gain from it.

I think people should consider the answer to that question very seriously.
This is Luke Hackworth, founder of this site. Years ago I manually portscanned random IP addresses to find interesting servers, and experienced a tremendous sense of exploration in doing so. Feldot is my attempt to bring that sense of exploration to the general public. The site has tools that make easier the discovery of interesting sites, and it has a front page that brings the most interesting and viral sites to the top.

This site is very much a work-in-progress. I created this in my spare time, making the minimum viable product as quickly as possible. In the future, I hope to add additional features like social feedback for good posts(like Reddit karma), categories, more page ranking options(like top posts per day, week, hour, etc), and other features. If you have any input on how it could be better, please let me know!
> If you apply this rule strictly, then the mobs could first hit the police. In many countries, police officers are violent and have a de facto impunity when they break the law.

Advocates of our Second Amendment - the right to keep and bear arms - understand this. This idea was the primary reason for the Second Amendment's inclusion in the Bill of Rights.

In the words of Tench Coxe:

> Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American… The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.

In my opinion, minorities in particular have reason to arm themselves and to be prepared to defend themselves if necessary. Armed protest against civil government by blacks and others has a long history in the United States: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/black-panthers-california-196...

If you're interested in this sort of history, I'll recommend a couple of books: "Negroes with Guns", by Robert F. Williams; and "This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed", by Charles Cobb, Jr.

Robert F. Williams is a very interesting personality in and of himself. Among other things, he founded the Black Armed Guard - an NRA-sponsored rifle club dedicated to the defense the black community from racial violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Williams#Black_Armed...

Paper is secure because we are familiar with it and because people are bad at conceptualizing intangible things.

However,I don't think we should give up on secure electronic voting because it can solve issues with paper voting,especially with new democracies. In some countries,no matter who wins one side claims it's rigged and you have mass violence every few years. I don't have a solution but I think R&D investment should continue.

I'm not sure why everybody here seems to think that sites need to fork over all date they have on store via e-mail if a registered user requests it via e-mail.

A site could easily be compliant by answering general questions (this is what kind of data we have, this is how we collect it, this is what we need it for, this is our legal basis) via e-mail but requiring data exports to be performed via the site itself.

The GDPR actually encourages sites to provide automated self-serve data export mechanisms. The entire point of being able to request a copy of your data is data portability.

"But what if the user never signed up?", I hear some people ask. Why did you collect their data in the first place? If you collect sensitive data like that described in the BBC article, you better have explicit consent and if you have explicit verifiable consent, you should be able to verify a request is made using the same identity that granted the consent (be it an e-mail, a phone call or a signature). So just ask for that again.

Also, if you can't easily comply with a data request because the data is so sensitive and the identity can't easily be verified, you can still explicitly say so. Describe the kind of data you have and offer to delete it, then offer whatever form of authentication is adequate given the level of sensitivity of the data in question should they still demand it.

I'm not sure why some people seem to think this is particularly unreasonable. Just because it isn't code, doesn't mean you have to reinvent authentication from scratch. Think of how you identify someone before you agree to store their data. You already do that for all other business processes, why should data requests be any different?

EDIT: Also if you figure you can't easily verify someone's identity after you took their data, that sounds like a good reason not to take their data in the first place. And that's the entire point of the GDPR: minimising personal data. The GDPR makes personal data toxic and that's intentional. Just like toxic substances you need special precautions for handling and storing it, and you probably want to avoid both unless absolutely necessary.
Exactly. Hindsight is 20-20 and with hindsight we pretty much agree this guy got what he had coming to him (even if the proper legal procedures weren't followed) whereas the people who got lynched for racial reasons didn't.

>Don't waste your time with what is hip

Wouldn't that apply to git? You can probably get 90-95% of the benefit of git using mercurial with a fraction of the effort in learning. Life is too short to spend learning the internals of one version control system.

This idea of "Don't waste time on X focus on more valuable Y" has no real end. Don't waste your non-work time on learning computing related stuff and instead spend time on social connections and physical fitness first. Pays off way more than emacs, git, vim, lisp, or programming paradigms. See how easy it is to make such pronouncements?
We could choose to staff them with competent people instead of deliberately sabotaging it. There are viable alternatives to the GOP strategy.
> if your job is to arrest people with outstanding warrants, how would you go about it?

How about: go to their place of residence and knock on their door?

Or: go to their place of work and knock on the door?

After those have failed, try getting a wiretap warrant for their telecom devices. Only after you've got that wiretap warrant, locate them and arrest there.

You know... the stuff that law enforcement is _supposed_ to be doing...

Following a vehicle whose license plate, or its owner, is associated with outstanding crimes makes sense. Following a random vehicle which has not yet committed a crime is wrong. Following a vehicle because it has black people in it is illegal, unethical, and racist. Following a vehicle because an occupant shows up on a face search database should be morally reprehensible for the very same reasons.

Perhaps sometimes, people need to do things that, whilst we would do the same in their position, we still want to condemn as wrong.
Not because we disagree with their action, but because we need to signal to the outside world that actions like it are wrong. The circumstances that made such an action acceptable to our minds privately are too nuanced, too easy to stretch to publicly say they made it okay.

As a consolation, in these kinds of cases, taking action and dealing with condemnation is still better than not taking action. Of course, it is not right that people have to choose between two wrongs (living with the situation, or taking action and being condemned for it).

But life isn't fair. That isn't a statement of 'pushing the world into a fair state is infeasible to the point of imposiblity'. Instead, it is a statement that 'there is no state of the world that could be described as fair.

Moreover, the effect of such 'unfair condemnation' is tempered by people like you. I suppose that an actual working society needs both voices. Certainly, the signaling effect does not require that the condemnation be universal, just that it is substantial.
The writer has an interesting slant on SK (I flipped through a few of his other essays). I don't know enough about South Korea to distill it, but it doesn't feel right. Something vaguely exoticiszed... Maybe .... "snotty expat?"

On the other hand, Haskell's strength is its abstraction power. Elm intentionally lacks (some of) that punch, as do a lot of other languages.

But since Elm is a DSL it can afford to cap the abstraction somewhere whereas Haskell is perhaps built for more complex problems than just a client facing web UI.

Having learned both, I feel the abstraction level is capped too low on Elm, sadly.

According to Matt Levine, the underlying stocks would not have to be bought and sold if the trust ended and a new one was created. So the trusts wouldn't incur taxes and it shouldn't affect the price of the stocks.

Are you sure this isn't just a bias of yours? Urban areas in the United States have a lower rate of fatal injuries due to violence than do rural areas. Perhaps this is not what you meant by "violent crime"?

I know the output of these reports is difficult to interpret but see [1]. The top decile of per-capita violent deaths are rural counties, not urban ones.

Oh geez. Brianna Wu. 8chan. Toxic gamers.

As annoying as it is, everything seems to come back to the idiotic "Gamergate" flamewars from a few years ago.

With that being said, Brianna Wu was steeped deep into this "toxic gamer culture" as "Gamergate" 8channers would protest her articles and otherwise harass her. This whole 8chan thing is definitely something she has experienced directly, for better or worse. Whether that makes her more biased or more experienced in the culture is up for debate.

Oh well, I guess some problems don't die when you ignore them. Unfortunately, I'm unsure of what action (if any) should be taken here.

This is sinister in a subtle way: profiling in this capacity is not only wrong, it is self-perpetuating. If police are trained to do this, then more African Americans are arrested even without warrants, and then end up in the system / in legal trouble, which means more are likely to have warrants. In turn, this means that future police trained to do this are likely to find success doing it by virtue of past police doing it.

That's... totally fucked.
Britain currently has HVDC interconnectors to France (2 GW), Belgium (NemoLink, 1 GW), and Netherlands (BritNed, 1 GW), as well as 2 interconnectors with Ireland (East-West and Moyle, 500 MW each)

1) The cause in your example may be (a) something in the current events triggered ideas about those story lines.

At the same time it can be that (b) people in Hollywood talk with each others about stories they want to put on the screen.

Or it can be (c) that studio A has inside intelligence in studio B looking for interesting stories to be made in a movie.

2) It is similar to 2 startup companies starting tackling similar new problems. It may be because of (a) a new enabling technology came up or a change in the landscape that unlocks the new opportunity.

Or because (b) the loop: entrepreneurs talk to investors -> investors talk with each others -> repeat

Or because (c) entrepreneur A knows that entrepreneur B is up to something and find a way to spy on them to find what they are up to.

3) In the case discussed above, it may be (a) a new discovered bug on public forum leads to similar bugs being discovered, (b) researchers talking to each others in their circles, (c) a powerful entity getting access to the researcher's "secrets".

The difference between (a), (b) and (c) causes is that (a) causes happen in public places. (b) causes happen in private circles. (c) it is not a result of deliberate communication, it is stolen IP.

That is already a meaningful distinction. Now the questions is how often a, b, and c happen in the different context and how do they impact the outcome of the projects in the respective fields.

In all examples, timing is one of the keys to be successful.

The difference between (1), (2) and (3) is how legal or ethical the "exploiter" of the IP is abler to get the IP and their tolerance to risk.

It seems that in our case(3) (c) is more likable than in the other cases considering the actors involved and their modus operandi.

> weird, any explanation for the downvotes?

Yes, you're simply wrong. Government agencies do not have a blanket exemption from GDPR rules. There are some difference, and EU countries have some autonomy in the particulars. But as a general principle, the rules are the same: data may only be stored to fulfil a valid purpose, processing and transmission require consent, etc.

Fines don't make any sense in that regard because the government is never fined: first, because it wouldn't make much sense, as fines are payable to that very government anyway. But also because government officials are simply expected to respect court verdicts without the neccessity of fines.

If you don't trust that system you're out of luck, because it's how every single other protection you have against the government is and has been enforced since the inception of "the rule of law".
NASA had a 1980 study° of space fabrication systems where they referred to small, light, hard-to-manufacture parts as "vitamins." These vitamins (ICs certainly, perhaps special sensors or high-quality optics) would likely be the last part of the manufacturing system to be moved from Earth into space due to the complexity (=mass/volume) of fabrication and relative ease of transportation.

It's 25% in the US on administration. The low end is 12% in public health systems. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/16/upshot/costs-health-care-...

The more likely answer is: Everyone else is paid less and everything else costs less.

The extra costs in the US will be some combination of total nonsense, marginal (you should get some compensation when errors cause you harm) and very real (e.g. Replacing HVAC filters on schedule, having someone go through lab results for the last month's infections and figure out which antibiotics to use the next time when you can't wait for results).
