No, these are apples and oranges. GDPR regulates what obligations a site collecting data of european users has (for example, acquiring consent). This imposed regulations on a direct, contractual relationship (whether the contract is implicit doesn’t matter here). Every party involved then has rights to sue if the agreed contract is violated. A US company providing service to US customers has no obligation from GDPR (but have fun making that distinction in practice)

US search warrants on the other hand basically circumvent local law. I, as an Austrian Citizen, have no way to protect myself against such warrants if I decide to put my data in, let’s say, office365, even if the physical location of my data is within Europe and the actual operation of the Servers is handled by a different, European company.

In my opinion, this is nuts. The US should have to go through the same channels for foreign police assistance as everybody else.

Coercing someone into doing that under pain of discrimination is pretty cruel though.

That's why I said not entirely in one's control. I'm aware pardons, expungements exist.

Let me see if I can boil down your comments to specifc questions that I can answer.

"Is DitaBase compliant with JSON-Schema?"

The answer to this question is critical to understand about how DitaBase is different: if you want it to, then yes! The validators and converters are fully Turing complete, and not limited to Javascript either. If you can make a language interpreter in C/C++ (think Javascript V8), then you can use it with DitaBase. So whatever format you want, just rebuild it in (or port it to) dit schemas. Therefore, it isn't possible for DitaBase to not be compliant with something (at least, as far as I can think) because if someone thinks its important, they'll rebuild it in dit schemas.

"Schema.org is just documentation. Are there programatic, queryable schemas?"

Yes, but only optionally. In theory, all that is required to be a dit is a validator. You could inherit from "thing" and just directly have some text and a validator. But if you want to use Controllors (CRUD for a specific schema), Containers (abstract the shape of the data from the content) and other things like that, then yes, you need programatically defined schemas, just like in J-S. If someone has them, then you can use them. If not, in theory, if their schema is public, then you could just make a pull request with the relavent additions. DitaBase is very open compared to something like Swagger.

"Uh, anonymous functions? Duh?"

Oh, yes that makes much more sense that the ridiculous names I was giving those in the example. That actually just never occured to me. Of course these things will have to get slowly fleshed out over time, and I suppose there's no reason you couldn't have both.

"GraphQL, BSON, custom tools, cool things"

This is the great thing about DitaBase. Since you know the exact structure of any dit, and everything about dits is generic, you can just build all of this on top, without any overhead. DitaBase will almost certainly build some things like this in house, especially something like GraphQL, and some data analysis and statistical plotting utilites. Or perhaps, similar to how VScode absorbs open source projects into itself when they get really popular, DitaBase could probably do the same.
There are some static generators like Hexo, Jekyll, Hakyll and others - they provide a good mix of using static files and compilation to generate indexes, tags and other features that "dynamic" systems provide.
Some setups are really complex, but for personal projects, you can keep it simple.

It's nice that it knows when I leave and adjusts accordingly automatically. If I need to come home at a non-routine time, I can adjust from my phone so that it's comfortable when I get home. I don't see the need for most smart devices, but the Nest thermostat has actually been really useful for me.
What kind of hash is used? I guess it has to be some kind of inexact match (I doubt the fingerprint image is ever exactly the same)? Does it operate over the image of the fingerprint or a vector of extracted features?
> beyond what smartphones are already capable of

What do you mean by this? What exactly is it that you believe smart speakers capable of that smartphones are not? (Modern smartphones are just as capable of listening for and responding to hotwords as smart speakers are, fyi.)
Ever since the Peace of Westphalia, the international law is that each country sets its own laws for its own territory. Country A cannot enact a law that is effect on the territory of country B. So if the data is physically stored in the EU, it is naturally subject to the GDPR and no law outside the EU can do a damn about that. The CLOUD act, on the other hand, breaks that principle: it tries to compel actors outside the territory of the US to comply with US law.
Doesn't matter. Has been done the other way around already, so it could be reversed.

I imagine that one of the difficulties is that a woman who gets pregnant and doesn't want to have the child finds that the process of pregnancy and birth is very difficult financially. It increases expenses, and decreases available time for employment which affects their finances from the supply side too.

Many people find that practical concerns, like finances, override any moral qualms they might have on the concept.

If the US ever gets a socialized medical system, it'll be interesting to see if abortions decrease and babies available for adoption increase. Pregnant people will still face a decrease in finances on the supply side because they'll have to take time off work, but removing the expenses could reduce the problems with the practicality of basically being an incubator for needy parents who want to adopt.

That’s not going to produce a good model. Test panels and dogfooding are both small scale and introduce biases based on who uses them.

Sure, this is a good question. You'll note that few peoples actually choose to live in a dictatorship.

There's undeniably a conflict between the "right to interfere" and the sovereignty of nations. I am afraid we won't solve it here in a few Internet posts!
I use the free fillable forms. Happy with it every year so far. If turbo tax makes them go away, I'll get real politically involved real quick.
I value privacy, my nest thermostat is the only IoT device in my house that talks to the internet or can be accessed remotely without a VPN. What I find most valuable is it programs itself. Am I cold? Turn it up a bit, hot? Turn it down a bit. Suddenly I have stopped having to adjust it at all. Even as life has changed. It has some nice other features, such as preheating/cooling, telling me how long it will take to get to temp, energy savings by allowing the electrical company to shift my cooling earlier before the afternoon rush.

I bought my Nest before Google bought the company, and I will switch brands instead of buying one of the Google built devices, again over privacy considerations. Hilariously enough, we entered the name of the thermostat as HAL.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Talk about HN doublethink/doublespeak on privacy.

A typical problem with invasive species is that their predators don’t also make the trip. It’s not a given that anything is eating them, micro or macro.

Dead wood left on the forest floor can help improve soil quality and water retention though, and the decay microbes and invertebrates do have their own food chain that goes as high as foxes and bears. It’s an old idea we haven’t practiced much, in part because of misguided fire suppression, and miscategorizing it as waste, instead of fodder.

Under the GDPR, data collection must be opt-in, so if you say no it shouldn't collect.

Blaming harassment on the law seems a bit strange, it's the website doing it because it wants have your data, not because it is obliged to ask you about it. Not collecting data is an option too, but it seems not to these websites.

> I mean, they have their own criminal courts and everything, but they are limited in their ability to mete out punishment. As far as I understand, they cannot form treaties with other nations. They can't raise armies. States can compel establishments within native american tribal territories to collect sales taxes on non-native people.

Yes, that is why I made the point that I think they would be best served by granting them fully sovereign status. You can't be granted sovereign status if you're already sovereign. The USA maintains its authority over the cherokee in the same way it maintains authority over certain aspects of the states.

> The US doesn't really have subjects at all, right? We have citizens

Citizens of the US are subject to the laws of the United States. To be subject to a law means that you must follow it under penalty of legal proceedings.

> But it is likewise incorrect to say they are sovereign, at least as we typically think of national sovereignty.

This is an overly simplistic view of sovereignty. Per the Constitution, the individual 50 states are fully sovereign. They have given up some sovereignty to the federal government, in certain matters, such as international relations. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that, according to US federal law, they are to be treated as sovereign entities. This shared sovereignty is the basis of American federalism. The tribes operate under a similar arrangement. The Constitution allows the federal government to enter into treaties with the Indians as if they are foreign governments. The current US policy is to grant them 'tribal sovereignty' which is a half sovereignty enjoyed by the states. However, unlike the states, where they chose deliberately to give up their sovereignty to become part of the United States, the tribes were forced to sign treaties, forcibly uprooted, forcibly slaughtered, etc.

How Evolution Builds Genes from Scratch
The EU position has been simple, accurate, and consistent. The slide simply shows each Brexit option and which UK redline issues get in the way of each of those options, including the Norway route.

To pick just one: Norway has free movement of people with the EU, and is in the Schengen area. To get the same deal, UK would have to drop the objection to free movement.
We also punish ourselves in the process, though.
Pretty good platform for learning k8s. Nice UI, clear explanations. Of course my "inner QA engineer" came out and I had a few observations:

* On the intro page about typing "kubectl delete <item1> <item2>", autocomplete only worked for <item1> and I had to manually type <item2>

* Whenever I clicked "Check" button after running a command to go to the next task, I would lose focus on the CLI window and would have to click back into the window. It would be nice to have <ctrl-Enter> be an alias for clicking that "Next|Check|Start Tasks" button.

* I clicked "Previous" to scroll back thru one of the lessons, and the state of the cluster didn't roll back, so to reproduce something I had to start from the beginning of the tasks. This would probably be difficult to make "Previous" a real-Undo function, but it would be cool. Kind of like "upgrade/downgrade" when using SQLAlchemy to manage a database.

* When on the page asking me to type "kubectl describe deployment", the auto-complete would always jump to "deployment.app" instead of stopping that the command parameter "deployment"

* For viewing the details about the dashboard elements on the right hand diagram, the slide out showing the metadata, etc. would only change between objects when clicking on just the title in the object's box. There's no visual signifier that the title is any more important than the rest of the object's widget for selection. Maybe allow clicking on anything inside an object's frame instead of just on the text of the object's title?

* on the "/deploy-an-application" lesson, the introduction page is highlighting the wrong elements in the YAML when you hover over the anchors in the description text

-----

I guess these are all more-or-less nitpicks in what looks like a really well polished experience for learning k8s. It's nice enough that it sucked me in to spending a half hour going through it and sending back these suggestions :)

Good luck with the product. I'll pass along a pointer to our k8s guy.

It's not including the thermostat, but he's specifically talking about etiquette, not legally binding EUAs with your house guests.

Think of it more as "Oh, btw, I've got cameras in the living room, kitchen, and on the back patio if that's something that bugs you."
These kinds of devices are just slightly better than the old ones, because it's possible to programmatically control them. They would be an interesting idea, because they offer slightly better convenience than the previous devices, but they are such a huge privacy violation that they aren't worth it. Take out the privacy violating parts and they could be interesting products.

You don't need a car to save your life. This is why ambulances were invented: if you have a real life-threatening emergency, you call one of those. If you're having a true emergency, you have no business driving yourself anyway: you're a danger to everyone around you.

Making programs concurrent is hard, especially if you don't have good support from the language. I, too, would hesitate before attempting to make a highly concurrent application in PHP, Python, or Visual Basic. And even then you're looking at considerable investment rewriting stuff that already works.

Maybe it works out if the cost savings from being able to purchase fewer machines outweighs the rewrite and the risk of new concurrency bugs.

I agree Apple is one of the few companies that takes security seriously. That said, it only takes one hack/leak to compromise your biometric data forever. You can't change it as easily as a password. And you're voluntarily giving it up...for what? A worse unlocking experience? If it weren't for the novelty factor I am confident most people would not use it - probably why the hardware is removing it as an option. Also it's no secret those companies want the extra data for training better models and this is a "free" way to get really high quality data.

Ironically I currently have 2 ring cameras setup on the outside of my house, installed by previous owner. I'm looking to replace them down the line as I don't trust Amazon with my data.
