>1) it's a cost of doing business. Costs of doing business change over time. Step changes as a result of regulation are typically introduced with windows to allow businesses time to respond. If you can't reasonably cover the cost of the change then...capitalism. You will fail and someone else will succeed. No one is guaranteed a profit.

Except that foreign companies won't have this same limitation. The end result is that all of your online services will be provided by foreign companies, which ironically is already the case in the EU.

A foreign company that's beyond the jurisdiction of the EU can abuse GDPR as much as they want. If they get caught then they'll just lose their business. The EU can't actually fine them, but that same company likely outcompeted EU companies for years.

>This would effectively become a get out of jail for companies that want to outsource their (lack of) privacy with sufficient arms-length plausible deniability.

They can do the same thing with foreign companies though. If you can set up a system where you would use your small companies to escape regulation, then the same can be done with companies run by foreigners.

>2) Sounds like a business opportunity? GDPR/Privacy as a Service. e.g. https://privaon.com/ (first search hit).

And said business opportunity is additional inefficiency on businesses in the EU that their global competitors don't have to follow.

Price feeds are the answer? The price feeds in question don't even track the price of Dai - so I am not even sure what mechanism you have thought up to explain to yourself how Maker works.

If you are still having trouble understanding the system there is no shortage of resources available. Of course if you dismiss the resources because of an anti-cryptocurrency bias as you have then you will end up clueless since this is a realm with low-coverage in the mainstream.
Pedantic correction: Toronto streetcars and subways are actually slightly wider than standard gauge. The rest of your point is unaffected.

The streetcars are not discussed much in the article, but they may be a large part of both Toronto's moderate transit success and its slowness to adopt real light rail transit.

Streetcars are seen as similar to buses but a bit faster, more comfortable and more reliable. Which suits them well for the busy downtown routes. But plans for suburban LRT routes have been dismissed as "glorified streetcars", even though they would be much faster due to less frequent stops and more signal priority. Since relatively slow downtown streetcars are the only surface rail people know about, they don't get excited about LRT.

Imagine if 50 mules popped up... increasing KK doughnut sales by 1500 per week at 50 different locations nationwide... hard to imagine they'd dislike making more money.... how is that negative?

If it were me, I'd jump on the bandwagon and create some mule services to help grow mules to markets where Krispy's aren't delivered.
What is the difference between your open source repository and this one. I am assuming that the model is having 2 repos one open source and the other with gitroyalty with something extra (edit I see it uses sub modules)
Exactly. And how can I be sure that the CEO of Krispy Kreme hasn't ordered that all doughnuts be poisoned?!?!?

> A standalone alarm clock (battery operated or with battery backup) is much more reliable.

Read the box or documentation carefully before buying, though, because sometimes the functionality is greatly reduced when running on the backup battery. Mine, for example, stops displaying the time when on backup, and I think alarms will not go off. The backup is just to save you having to set the time and alarms when power comes back.

For those times I really need to wake up on time, even if power has gone out in the night and is still out in the morning, I use an old fashioned Westclox Baby Ben wind-up clock that I've had for 40 years [1].

I switched to Lyft a few years ago because of Uber's evil ways. I've had zero problems.

If people won't stop using a company that is so blatantly bad we're in trouble.
Or you see a great idea, and spend to bulldoze the competition.

But I do agree patents have gone off the wrong end these days.
Regardless of company, I don't want them to keep any "backups" of what I delete.

In my view, if I say I want to "delete" my account, I don't want a single trace of my existence on that platform from then on. No emails, no backups, nothing.
As I understand, many tech companies hold onto many broad patents but don't actually enforce them. They do that as a mutual assured destruction tactic. If the competitor sues them for a violation, then the defendant enforces all of their parents against the plaintiff. I know of many companies in the autonomous vehicle field that do that. One of them (I forget who) has a patent they says that if a car on the neighboring land moves close to your lane, then move your car to the far side of your lane.
I lived in Gothenburg Sweden for 5 months in 2017. And I got to see the riot between neo nazis and antifa people. The most impressive part was the almost parade like quality of the polices show of force. They had about 20 massive police horses. The horses never did anything, but the policemen and women looked very regal. According to my neighbors 1000 policemen had been called in from around the country for that riot. The whole city basically shutdown. But it never got covered by media outside of Sweden.
> There is no limit to the supply of crypto currency

the whole point of bitcoin — whether or not you believe it has a future —is that it allows for (and has) scarcity in a digital environment in which double-spending/scarcity were previously hard to enforce without an intermediary.

there are only ever going to be 21 million bitcoin. there is a limit :)

It seems to do motion transfer alright but the legs in the dancing video get warped instead of moving so there's some frames where they have triangle legs vanishing at the knee. https://youtu.be/8AZBuyEuDqc?t=34

Maybe if you scale up the training data the model is going to learn some better warping, but I think to really get better photorealism there has to be a 3D component, some kind of distance/movement estimation like in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.07804.pdf and a shape inference/transfer step.

As Swedish politicians decided not to gather stats on ethnicity deeming it unimportant, the answer depends on the political affiliation: right-wing politicians will tell you this is due to immigration, whereas the mainstream answer is that these are just gangs, and their ethnicity/race is unimportant.
a disgruntled pizza delivery person could put rat poison in your pizza if you're not a good tipper. There's plenty of opportunity to do so. I'm sure some bad pizzas have been delivered and have been tampered by bad employees one way or another. You can't control everything. Would've probably been better for them to create some sort of on-the-books business association, make him sign a contract or something and follow some protocols on food handling to deliver as good a product as possible.
It's not just the app that makes Uber, Lyft, Grab extra better than cabs. It's that unlike cabs they can scale with demand. Cabs can't have enough drivers and cars to cover peak demand or they'd run out of money from expenses. Those others can as when there is peak demand more drivers will volunteer to work.

> It claims that the islands have belonged to China for hundreds of years, and points to various old maps, historical use by Chinese fishermen, mentions in various treaties, and so on.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/13/world/asia/south-china-se...
"... the tribunal rejected China’s argument that it enjoys historic rights over most of the South China Sea. "

> I mostly hope that the situation doesn't escalate, but many sides are capable of escalation - the US, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and others.

Only one of those countries has been building / extending artificially reefs / islands in this area.

Xi lost face over this decision, and just said "tough, we aren't going to abide by it anyway". Hardly the actions of a reasonable government as good world citizens.

> I can think of much more serious issues than some uninhabited islands and rocks

China has deemed it very, very important to seize this area. It's pretty clear why to most people.

> US military actions is the South China Sea could be viewed as highly provocative. I can see why China would respond by putting anti-aircraft batteries on the islands.

You think it's reasonable to respond to freedom of navigation operations (also conducted by other countries than the USA) by militarising islands that aren't even theirs?
> Group work means that more successful groups

Very often, they try to "mix" the groups up and make each group a mix of ability. The inevitable result of that, is that the high ability students often feel like they have no choice but to do all the work. Do you want to get marked down because you include your peers' sub-standard work in the end product, or do you just replace it with higher standard work of your own?
If that's the case, seems like a friendly request to change the name of the facebook group would make more sense.

SOLID is about how your codebase and compiled libraries change in response to changing requirements. Open/closed says that if your code is well architected, then you should be able to handle changes by using existing modules (e.g. classes or functions) in new ways (extension) instead of cracking open the source code and modifying it. If you see that one particular file is being changed in commit after commit, it is a prime candidate for refactoring to better follow the OCP.
How to Use Product Intelligence to Win Customers
Just seems like the incentive structure is a little bit misaligned with the best interest of the project:

1. Rewards bigger, more verbose contributions
2. Punishes maintainers for accepting contributions

Contributors will optimise for the largest impact and core maintainers will end up spending most their time trying to reduce that impact.
To be fair that piezo alarm seems to be the fallback for an power outage only. I think it's acceptable to be waken by a piezo instead of having no alarm at all.

That is a shocking level of journalistic mendacity, absolutely intent to decieve. It begs the question: What is the author trying to accomplish, and why?

So far, the “equality of outcomes” crusade seems to have an abysmal record with the truth. It’s become a lampoon of legitimate socio-economic problems.
If our children were going to a secondary school without so-called "tracked math classes", we'd pull them out and send them to another school that had them. (Assuming of course that we could afford to do so, which I'm sure we personally would be able to, but I acknowledge not all parents are as fortunate.)
There was a planet money story about a guy in canada who would buy up huge quantities of trader joes stuff and sell it at a significant markup. he had to evade trader joes' managers who were told the guy was a persona-non-grata and did a lot to keep him out. eventually he had to close up shop (and he did have a real physical location) as it became too difficult to stay open.
I recently did a stint as a contractor at one of Australia's "big 4" banks. I can assure you that they are so active in the privacy space, and foresee more and more GDPR-like regulations, that they've created their own privacy framework based on GDPR plus likely similar frameworks to come in other jurisdictions. It is one of the biggest funded projects in that bank (it helps that Australia recently had a negative spotlight on the banks' behaviour. Thanks Royal Commission!).

The point I'm trying to make is that if you have European customers, then the GDPR applies. Therefore, "foreign companies" competing for EU customers, definitely do have this limitation. Fines have been issued for companies that don't comply, and the sizes vary immensely (e.g. over 200 million euro for British Airways down to 118 euros (not millions, 118) for the Data Protection Authority of Saarland).

KFC - Chicken, grease, salt.
- refrain from using hooks everywhere, instead, prefer using them in « container » type of components to separate the hard logic from the soft one (cosmetic logic, such as color changes, hiding / showing parts of the UI)

- Hook-based context is a godsend, but similarly, should be used only when needed (to provide deeply nested components with specific props): passing props around is not a bad thing and makes you think more of your architecture (going through the pain of passing props down might be painful and makes you reflect on the choices you made when designing a specific part of the app).

- Folder structure

These rules are not about performance (modern frameworks deal with that equally well: the user code is the culprit and there’s no one-size-fits-all advice to improve that), but rather to keep your sanity. It will also help when writing tests as they will be nicely siloed.

$12k a year is completely unacceptable.

Other costs are also unacceptable. Colleges charge $500+/month for shared rooms. And require freshman to stay in them.

Nevermind the fact that your math misses several major cost categories like building maintenance, fringe benefits for professors (+30% of salaries at least).

In your hypothetical example, students are paying $20k/year before getting ripped off on the cost of the dorm and meal plan.

If a prof is making 150k, class sizes need to be 300+ and they need to teach 1,000 kids a semester
I'm convinced my washer is magic. I put the clothes in and press start. It spins them around once or twice, figuring out how heavy they are. Then it tells me how much detergent to add. I do that. It starts washing the clothes. It even has a heat pump mode that slowly (very, very, very slowly -- over an entire day) dries the clothes for the few times I can't hang them. The damn things has lots of buttons, but it knows I have no freaking clue. "Let's go stupid human. Just press the start button. You know you want to!" I like my washer :-) So far in 5 years, absolutely no problem.

It's a front loading Panasonic in case anyone is interested.

Grades are determined by curves. There's no absolute scoring in most university classes, especially in engineering and science programs.

Professors usually draw something similar to a bell curve along the grade distribution and set the average to be a particular grade. Grade inflation would be setting the average to something high (as practiced at Harvard this is usually an A-).

Grade deflation which both U Chicago and my alma mater Johns Hopkins are notorious for has professors set the average grade to a B-/C+. In classrooms full of students who have excelled their entire life, where the average represents a pretty high standard of work and achievement, setting the average to a B- is grade deflation.
Mostly, yes. In my experience (as a service provider) Chrome has a bad habit of caching records occasionally for much much longer than it should. Maybe bug maybe intentional, I dunno.
I also avoid pandas for simple stuff. But rather than using Excel I use dplyr and other R tidyverse packages. I think pandas is a little bit more powerful but I find R much easier to use (easier than Excel when you get used to it).
It seems like an image classifier would work in this field. Are you aware of ML based image recognition and its utility here?

I'm imagining training data would be a hurdle, but surely you could give instructions or suggestions on how to train a model to people already authorized to work with the images.
Lots of child psychologists and teachers believe that parental involvement is key to stopping a child becoming a bully (eg parents actively engaging with their kids welfare) and the most common thing that stops parents being involved in bringing up their kids is poverty. Trying to fix poverty is weirdly controversial.

While this is true of its peers, no one has ever accused the University of Chicago of being left leaning. The unrestrained neoliberalism (deregulation of consumer protections, unwinding of antitrust policy) that characterizes our time is literally called the "Chicago School" of economics.

I just don't get it, there are so many examples where millions of more humans doesn't materially improve growth and a handful of people do.

Consider: when Cartwright invented the power loom, he undoubtedly created economic growth (more output) without the need for more humans. Ditto for millions of inventions happening every day from software automation to robotics.

Even more: another million uneducated humans doesn't provide anywhere near as much growth as 1000 highly educated humans. As simple proof, you need education to operate and maintain machines, let alone invent and improve them.

If anything, a fertility crash seems like a good thing because there's always resources that are limited and fewer people helps allocate them - from fresh water to brand new medicines/devices/techniques that haven't been commoditized yet.
