That's not accurate. The part that I think is causing you some confusion could be this section of chapter I

> (23) In order to ensure that natural persons are not deprived of the protection to which they are entitled under this Regulation, the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or a processor not established in the Union should be subject to this Regulation where the processing activities are related to offering goods or services to such data subjects irrespective of whether connected to a payment

...so if you're offering any goods or services to non EU citizens who are in the EU but you are a non EU company, GDPR still applies if the processing relates to offering them goods and services.

Note however:

> (22) Any processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union should be carried out in accordance with this Regulation, regardless of whether the processing itself takes place within the Union

...and...

> (24) The processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union should also be subject to this Regulation when it is related to the monitoring of the behaviour of such data subjects in so far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.

So monitoring of EU data subjects by non-EU companies and processing data relating to their activities in the EU are definitely covered by GDPR even if you don't intend to offer them goods and services.

Text above quoted from the English text of GDPR as at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

The old era football cards (and tea cards and petrol stickers or coins) where there were no intentionally rare ones, just randomly stuffing a few into packets, were OK. You traded a few in the playground, just about everyone got the set by end of school year.

The modern ones with carefully created low drop rate "rare" cards are lottery scratch card gambling. No better than a fruit machine, or fixed odds thing in the bookies, and in need of regulation.

Same impulses that have led to addictive purchasing until you get the winner. Same cynical house always wins. Personally I put them in the same "clearly gambling" bucket as game loot boxes.
Much much more websites are HTTPS now. LetsEncrypt was set up, and browsers are better at HTTPS. That benefits people in the UK. "Encrypt everything" was a result of knowing the NSA were hooving everything up.
And eSNI is not even a solution to anything, it merely pushes a bit of cleartext identification data from one protocol to another, while assuming that lots of websites share a single IP address and that it's not possible to correlate what website on the IP is used by simply observing what kind of packets are sent from a machine, which is actually pretty easy (as each website comes with connections to multiple other IPs with specific sizes of data transfer generating a unique traffic pattern).
“Henry Ford knew that people needed enough money to actually buy his cars and made it happen with high wages.”

This is a pernicious myth that needs to die - Ford increased wages to reduce turnover and thus the costs associated with it - if a few employees on the margins could then afford to buy his cars then all the better, but it would not appreciably increase demand. It doesn’t even make sense logically.
> Some airlines are allowed to carry customers between two non-native countries, usually when a fuel stop is involved. It’s called the fifth freedom. Established with an international treaty in 1944, the nine aviation freedoms lay out what commercial airlines can and can’t do throughout the world.

This paragraph is worded a bit confusingly, but it was pretty clear to me: the fifth freedom is the fifth of nine aviation freedoms from a treaty signed in 1944.

Airline 1 from Country A

Airline 2 from Country B

Airline 1 is allowed to fly from A to B, refuel in B, and then fly from B to C. But the fifth freedom allows Airline 1 to pick up people in country B and provide them cheap flights to country C, thus competing with Airline 2, which is native to country B.

It could be entirely possible that my understanding is incorrect, though... but that's what I got from their explanation.

I do completely agree with other posters that this is thinly-veiled advertising, though. This stands out with their Japan flights for me, since I live in Japan and occasionally look for tickets.

It's interesting that they point the price for Osaka-Honolulu because it's surprisingly low (~80% cheaper), but they conveniently neglect to mention that the Tokyo-LA flight is only 10-15% cheaper than a domestic airline.
Then they changed the language. C was not supposed to change.

Mostly? Uh huh.

Sorry - then why are we wasting time with this law in then? Because OP and supporters certainly don't think it's a no-op. California doesn't think it's a no-op.

>Even without such a law they already have an incentive to raise rents as how as possible: profit.

That is such a shallow, nonsensical argument. By your logic explain why Starbucks isn't charging $5000 for a coffee ... because after all: profit.

I'm sure landlords would love to raise prices to astronomical levels. I'm sure tenants would love to live in the apartment for free. So tell me, why doesn't that happen? Why is it that prices in a market will tend to stable point?

>I'm not sure what the argument is for why freedom of contract can't provide the "increase < inflation + 5%" provision voluntarily?

They can. That's called a 'lease'. It's common.
Higher density allows the surface to be closer to the center of mass, so the gravity there will be higher. Stand on a hovering platform 6300km from the Moons center and the gravity will be just 1% of Earths, since distance beeing equal, the only deciding factor will be the mass.

That's why the gravity on the surface of neutron stars is so high, even when the mass is the same as our Sun.

The way to reshape labour laws is to offer an alternative job defining the socially minimum acceptable job in a local area.

Business then has to compete with that to attract labour. No other labour law required. Simple competition sorts it out.

That is also has the advantage of being a geographically targeted federal automatic stabiliser that operates far more effectively than interest rate targeting via bank lending, and ends unemployment permanently and forever is just an added bonus.
Thanks for sharing that link, author here.

Yeah I don't know why but on Windows the volume performance generally seems to be a lot better than Mac.

I have nothing but good things to say even on 5 year old hardware. Massive web apps (including using webpack) are very very speedy with volumes with a number of different stacks (flask, rails, phoenix, webpack, node).

I still use that set up years later and it's really solid.
Dear Future (2012)
I like this analogy, but I think an even bigger problem than distance contraction is that in fact the lawnmower can go east-west on one axis, but only towards the north on the other axis, towards the future, at least as far as we have observed in macroscopic systems.

This may not be a problem for some definitions of time, but for the notion of time which goes from past to future, I don't think the analogy holds very well.
Read the cited law. It says you are obligated to report anything you find over $100 to the police. If a bartender finds a wallet with $150 in it, sticks it behind the bar and doesn't report it and the patron comes back alleging it had $200 in it he/she could get screwed. I'm sure you could come up with other examples. The point is that using a specific dollar amount is stupid. Give it some time and $100 will be a lot more like $50. Sure, the law can be changed if the relative value gets too low but there will never be any will to do it unless a real sob story comes along because people don't find property that the owner subsequently wants back all that often.
More important, 5th freedom is not a "low fare loophole" relying on an "old treaty".

Not all countries/stops allow 5th freedom rights in all cases.

Sounds like just journalistic exaggeration

C compilers (with optimization on) don't spill intermediates either.

My impression is that LinkedIn profiles are simply click-bait for recruiters. So I would suspect that your proposed profile changes might reduce the number of unsolicited emails you get.

Basically I use Facebook for family and friends and LinkedIn as a sorta facebook for "professional" connections. Keeping the two spheres of my life quite separate.

Is this really a ubiquitous thing in the US? Office jobs were you are paid for having your body present, regardless of whether you slack off most of the time?

Wouldn't it be more logical to do your work and then have actual time off, instead of pretending the work takes much longer than it actually does?

To measure how long it took to build it, track how many days it took to implement in each language.

To measure how secure the resulting code is, have a test suite of malformed packets or other input and see how many of them the code in each language handles.
Re: the contract, let's hope you're wrong.

Re: privacy: by not having lying DNS or no NXDOMAIN, there is also less tracking (say, fingerprinting in ad web pages).

And in the ISP's case, you're assuming they already do DPI, otherwise they now see IPs, which might not mean much in the CDN case. But if they do DPI, it will be resolved once ESNI starts being deployed.
You can clearly see the odds are against you with the 2p waterfalls and such like. The side exits ensure the odds are with the house - you can point them out and show it's a rigged game. Opportunity to dive off into risk/reward and the unbalance of economics where some get disproportionate reward for the same inputs, perhaps? Or show how the house always wins. :)

I think they gloss over cinnabar too quickly. I don't have proof, but it seems logical that it is the source of these myths. That seems especially likely since the center of a person's Qi in traditional Chinese medicine is often called the "Cinnabar Field" and cinnabar was used in Taoist alchemy that often sought immortality.
An approximate answer is useful too.

>Hardcoding dollar amounts into law isn't so bad because future laws can update them.

Sure, but we all know that never happens until a sufficient number of easy to feel sorry for people get screwed real hard. Those people are getting needlessly screwed because the legislators were lazy. For example, most states have felony charges as an option for vandalism over a certain dollar amount, in some states these dollar amounts are low. This results in teenagers getting threatened with felonies (and the charges inevitably stick sometimes) because cleaning up their mess cost a few hundred bucks. That is a level of draconian-ness that is not ok in a free society.
You're inadvertently making precisely my original point: "exploitation" and "bad thing" are incredibly general properties that exist in many systems, and it's not useful or insightful to compare them to feudalism.

> I wonder if the reluctance of the gaming industry to tackle gambling is willful or due to ignorance of the issue.

From the report:

"62.We were contacted by a member of the public whose adult son built up considerable debts, reported to be in excess of £50,000, through spending on microtransactions in British company Jagex’s online game RuneScape. For example, bank statements showed that in one day the individual spent £247.95 by making five separate payments to the company. The resulting debt caused significant financial harm for both the player and his parents, whose evidence attributed the situation to the fact that Jagex has no limits on the amount of time or money players can spend on the game.118 This demonstrated to us that even companies with good policies to support some aspects of player wellbeing can fall short in other areas."

You don't take £50,000 from a player without realising something's fucked up.

While I will not try to debate your experience, I will provide some extra context for my previous assertion:

You cannot program in CL without using the CLOS. Most CL books go into great detail explaining it and the MOP, they are also full of looping constructs, even using GOTO. The only exceptions are Graham's books.

In open source, it is frowned upon to use recursion as TCO is not part of the standard. Some functions are even inlined for better performance.
It's still got nothing to do with actual feudalism, except that it's also 'bad'. Except for those people who like working in the gig economy and for whom it works very well.
The way I understand the parent comment (and I am open to correction), the question is why do we specifically describe functional programming with terms such as 'beautiful' - why do we not use say 'beautiful' for paradigms such as object-oriented, or aspect-oriented, or event-driven?

I'm not saying all ethics is against commerce, though I can't think of an ethical rule for which I couldn't construct a situation, in which breaking it is profitable. What I am claiming, though, is that the market strives to extract profit from everything that's possible, and that it will break every ethical rule that can be broken for profit in absence of very strong controls against that.

It's not about what I personally view as ethical or not[0]; here I'm talking about the market as if it was a fire. You don't act surprised that fire will burn everything combustible it can get to.

As for "no more than sum of decisions", I disagree. Economic forces are way more powerful than any individual or group of individuals. Individuals reacting to them in aggregate give rise to behavior that's - to my current belief - best described as amoral, profit-seeking, non-human entities, essentially the closest humanity got to creating an AI.

"Corporations oppressing workers", while being a very bad thing that I am very against, has almost nothing to do with feudalism, even by structural analogy.

RPi4's specific weak spot is heat production. It'll probably severely throttle during the benchmark if that $1 heat sink is missing. So I wonder what's the case in this benchmark? Did the test system have a heatsink or not? Low multicore results suggest not.

Another issue that can skew benchmarks is library optimization situation. On x86, most things are SSE/AVX optimized, but on ARM side NEON optimizations can be slow implementations or even completely missing.

AArch64 ISA has changes that eliminate some false dependency chains (more general purpose registers and NEON register layout changes). This blocks out-of-order engine from making optimal use of CPU resources. When you hit this issue, 64-bit ARM code can run quite a bit faster.

Raspberry Pi's weak spot has always been rather slow memory bandwidth. RPi4 improves this (DDR4 instead of DDR2), but it's still the weakest spot. Just 32-bits wide bus to SDRAM.
