Strange for you to mention "man", there is not much about him in the thread. His approach has a niche but is generally understood as a liability for a stable company. Megafactory, "production bottlenecks" and "production hell", no one cares.
Is there some kind of "we are in the EU and understand our data will be stored in the US and can be surveilled" consent box?

What about platforms that connect people from all over the world? Yeah you can store EU users' data on an EU server but what if a US user checks out a EU user's profile. Or are we supposed to completely disconnect each continent?
That's how it's done in Eve Online, the money duplication scam is common there.

How it works is that the scammer announces in an area (usually the trade hub system Jita) that they're quitting and giving away all their money. They link to a webpage that (they claim)_shows all of their bank transactions, using Eve's API.

You send them 100K just to try it out, they send you back 200K, both transactions show up in the webpage. "Ha it works!", you say, sending them 1M, they send you 2M back.

Until at any point, they stop sending you money back. Their outgoing transaction shows up in the webpage, but ingame you never received anything. When you message them they go "must be a bug, I sent the money because look at my transaction log. Contact support, not my problem, the money left my account"

You'd think it just doesn't work, why would anyone fall for that, but plenty fall from it. Plenty of people try and outsmart them as well, making use of it to earn some money. But as another commenter pointed out, it can be like a game of roulette.
It's outrageous that one person can indirectly force millions to buy more expensive services.

Anyone who cared and had the extra money could have always kept their data in the EU. Or not pay for any service that doesn't.
Yes, and it is to be feared that it would not take much to get back to that level.

Ah, I wish. Unfortunately, Greeks (not just Athenians) suffer from a horrible case of car-i-itis, meaning they have to go everywhere by car (I swear, people get in their car to go get milk or cigarettes) and every family must own a couple of cars, etc. This makes it a lot harder to pedestrianise large parts of the city, if nothing else because there's no space to put all those cars, other than on "pedestrianised" streets.

I've seen this often. Once, I was sitting at a cafe in a "pedestrianised" street and first one, then a second car, came through, in touching range of where I was seated - in a narrow street half of which was already occupied (illegally) by the cafe's chairs and tables. That has stuck into my mind because I have a big mouth and there was an er altercation with the drivers and some of his friends who was actually sitting at the same cafe as me and my friends. Anyway it's a common occurrence and a hard problem to solve.

Don't even think about going around on a bicylce in Athens, of course. You'll just cut years off your life, either because you'll be breathing cars' exhausts constantly or because someone will just run you over.
I think this statement is saying that the US surveillance laws grant the US authorities unlimited access to the personal data of non-US citizens being processed in the US, and those surveillance programs do not respect the privacy rights of EU citizens. Which seems fairly obvious...

> In the view of the Court, the limitations on the protection of personal data arising from the domestic law of the United States on the access and use by US public authorities of such data transferred from the European Union to that third country, which the Commission assessed in Decision 2016/1250, are not circumscribed in a way that satisfies requirements that are essentially equivalent to those required under EU law, by the principle of proportionality, in so far as the surveillance programmes based on those provisions are not limited to what is strictly necessary.

> On the basis of the findings made in that decision, the
Court pointed out that, in respect of certain surveillance programmes, those provisions do not indicate any limitations on the power they confer to implement those programmes, or the existence of guarantees for potentially targeted non-US persons. The Court adds that, although those provisions lay down requirements with which the US authorities must comply when implementing the surveillance programmes in question, the provisions do not grant data subjects actionable rights before the courts against the US authorities.
The only mention of "responsibility" is "To speculate much further would be irresponsible". If nobody at twitter is liable for anything, then this is the natural result.

I am not sure what you're saying. Of course you shouldn't hold your opinions infallible, but

>I would mention besides that, while there are often a few people very loud about their disagreement, there is no reason to think that there aren't more people made uncomfortable by an assumption I made that I didn't even realise I was making, people who don't feel safe confronting me about it.

I feel like, if you're making assumptions you don't realize you are making, the more reason you have to express your opinion so someone can bring it up.

>but I'd rather make that decision consciously than bumble into offending someone out of ignorance.

I'm not sure it's worth caring about people's feeling so much as to silence your opinions. This neither benefits you nor society, and only serve to appease people that cannot handle others having disagreeing opinions. The whole purpose of public discourse if to refine opinions.
It is fairly well known that certain large companies are really stingy.

I'm not into this but once discovered a kind of security related bug (could reveal details about the composition of a password typed into a new Windows 8 password field, admittedly low value as you had to have the user type in the password and leave) and later found a more interesting issue in the way an official powershell module works with Azure Information Security that makes it possible to sneak a file through unencrypted.

On the first I got a nice thank you mail and on the last I struggled so hard to report it that I gave up.
Perhaps you should re-read the comment I was replying to. The original claim was that Apple didn't pay US taxes at all. I simply pointed out that they did.

A temporary change in the tax rate during 2018 is, by definition, the tax rate changing over time. If a product normally sells for $50 and I wait until it's on sale for $25 to buy it, did I pay the "wrong" price? No, I paid the price the vendor set at the time of purchase.
Right, sure. In my mind, I was more interested in the relationship between gear-ratios, torque and the displacement of weight.

What if the motor gears were infinitely strong? That is: is the power output of a small electric motor theoretically sufficient to drive a tank up a hill with an arbitrarily large gear ratio?
> as a reference, it took wind power plants more than 20 years of enthusiastic development until the installed power reached 500 kW.

I mean, I don't doubt that that's true, but at the same time a single modern wind turbine generates 2-5 MWp, up 8 MWp offshore.

You work to the most restrictive set of rules. EU users data is stored in places that comply with the rules in question, that could be the US, if the US complies with EU rules.

If US user wants to interact with EU content, then they need to comply with relevant EU rules. They might not have to give the same level of enthusiastic consent, but the data of their interaction should still stored in EU compliant manner.

The friction of one wormgear is already enought to prevent rotation in the other direction. But with this many, impossible.

I also doubt if any of the gears except for the first ones rotate at all before the first gears are worn through, let alone before the battery to run out.
I'm not sure it even makes sense for smaller platforms any more. The metric of most business success is really growth. Tying yourself to something which is troublesome to grow because it favours doing things that are difficult to scale is an evolutionary dead end. I've spent the last 25 years constantly battling this problem in relational databases. Moore's Law has been pretty kind so far assuming you have the money to buy ridiculous computers and licenses.

I am out of touch of what is available in the NoSQL side of things but about 5 years ago there were too many things which had a terrible failure mode somewhere in the stack thus I'm never sure which way to go instead.
I see two problems with your response:

1. Are felons entitled to have jobs?

To which my response would be: are you entitled to decide?

2. We have existing ethical standards

Where my response would be: who is 'we'? Do you think society is one group, that has the same ethical standards? Because in fact there are many groups, with different values, that's why democracy was invented.

Summarizing you may be unaware you are speaking from a position of privilege here.
US could solve this by granting all humans same rights and not have the ability to read private data of all non-US citizens with no restrictions.
Worth also remembering that at the moment the UK is still negotiating with the EU and hasn't got a data protection adequacy agreement in place. At the same time it is domestically pushing for increased surveillance laws and powers for GCHQ etc. That issue in many ways is going to be just, if not more, tricky.

Not everyone believes that the existence of Twitter, in its current state as an amplification medium for the ever increasing polarisation in this world, is actually a force of good.

Helping them out with a security report might be the last thing on their mind.
They don’t sound like a criminal mastermind, it’s very likely they left some trace either locally or in Twitter’s system that will contradict that story.
I think the expectation is that data of a European citizen remains in the European union except otherwise needed and consented.

In sense of the GDPR, a European User Account does not need to synced to the US but only the communicated exchange between a European and a US user.

There are a lot of reasonable usage and solutions. They just cost money, time and are annoying architecturally.

Please don't do political flamewar here.
I probably should not be engaging with you at all, because you appear to be convinced that your theory of we-are-in-a-celestial-brain must be correct or at least very probably correct. Why else would you dismiss my, admittedly blunt, refusal by calling me childish?

What evidence do you have, other than "gee looks like a brain to me", that your theory might be correct? Is it not, indeed, childish, to hold such a view, out of a trillion other similarly justifiable views?

Just because current information cannot refute your favorite model doesn't mean it's true! This is very basic logic. At least come up with an experiment to verify some aspect of your theory; otherwise you’re going to forever be in the “gee looks like X to me” la-la land of idiots.

In other words, what the hell are you going on about?

As far as I know that is not allowed as it would just be used to override any data protection laws.

In the end if part of the world refuses to implement even the most basic working privacy protection laws what choice does the EU have.

I'm certain companies and governments alike would be thrilled to put in place the next iteration of this agreement, however the US refuses to move even an inch.
I mean you can store EU users' data on an EU server but if any US users are allowed to communicate/look at EU users then obviously the data is going to travel across the ocean. Maybe I'm reading too much into what constitutes as "personal-data" but last I checked they had broadened that a lot. What happens if I view a EU user's linkedin profile from the US - isn't that all personal data? I hope there's at least an informed consent opt-out for this.

If not, it's not super clear to me what the work-around is other than completely isolating the continents.
I don't know why you are getting downvoted. This is corrected. It is theorized that nicotine represses ACE2 receptor numbers which the virus uses to enter the cells.
Agreed. Last thing you want is a Turing complete language for config. Imagine your config to be non terminating! (And no way to check that.)
Yes. But. To my mind that's the 'iterate' or 'fail fast' methodology - which is pretty much de facto in Science and Engineering as a best practise. See benchtests for motors and rockets, or firing chickens at jet engines. Of course it is not always achieved - but is that because scientists and engineers do not know about it, or because the organisation in which they work is hobbling them in some fashion?

I think there are two big points here - one, software development is a core skill for firms these days, without which you are likely to fail.

Second, "heavy engineering" appears to have hit a point where the leading edge is not progressing as fast as the "commercial" world is. (this might be part of the feeling we are not inventing the future fast enough anymore).

By this I mean once upon a time, the envelope was so far out only States could afford to keep up - Canada folded its aerospace efforts in the 50s etc. As a rough rule of thumb you needed to not only build custom components, but you needed to build custom machines to make the custom components.

Today I think commercially available machines are able to make the custom components, thus making the envelope much more within reach for much less money - its that Makers can now do things previously only professionals could, so now professionals can do things previously only big organisations could.

This means that the inefficiencies of big 'dinosaur' organisations no longer pay off (Boeing is not the only people who can do rockets).

Elon Musk seems to have known / discovered / stumbled (#) this inflection point - but it is likely to play out in all sorts of industries. Military equipment etc. I mean if a 300 USD drone is a viable weapon on urban asymmetric battlefields, then something is coming (##)

(#) select based on personal views of Musk

(##) my personal publically obvious inflection point is a "maker style" rocket that can damage a jet aircraft. The rocket community is heading towards rockets that can get to the 32,000 foot level, and once you do that at Mach 1, for a few thousand dollars in a backyard, air dominance becomes something up for grabs again.
I honestly don't agree with this. The worst programs are written by people who know how to plug a million and one things together, but can't drill down and analyse the algorithmic implications of what they're doing. Electron runs like shit and inhales RAM is because it was programmed by people who don't have solid understanding of fundamentals. They understand a huge number of horizontal abstractions but they have no concept of how it looks vertically.

Knowing how to maximally exploit a CPU is way more important than knowing eight different Javascript frameworks if good software is your objective. And frankly, learning Node is way easier than figuring out how to structure basic, bare-bones Javascript so that it leverages your L1 cache.

And therein lies the problem. How many interviewers dock marks for iterating over columns, instead of rows? Because that matters, a huge amount. How many interviewers would give credit for "how can you speed this up?" if the interviewee said, "write it in C, and simplify the datastructures you want me to use so we maximise sequential lookups over basic arrays, to maximise cache usage." They'll look at you like you have three heads.

"Don't you know Big N complexity is the only thing that really matters if you're looking for speed?" - then you get Electron.
This judgement also validated SCC. Basically they are ok because they are underpinned by "the receiver country need to have proper privacy protections".

So the SCC is legit. You just can't use it with the US.

That would be good from a security perspective, but it would cost additional training, require more support staff, increase response time between request and resolve, make the system more complex and possible fragile, and take development resources away from profit centers.

Most companies has likely, at best, the same security at their internal support center as their accounting department, and given how common CEO fraud is, it mean social engineering will likely continue to be a major attack vector for a long time.
This is also why you want to have people in IT that can defer judgement if someone posts, does or says something that you do not like. Criminal behavior is another matter of course.

But you would need to educate people with access about the importance of impartial management of user data.

Banks had a culture enforcing neutrality and most importantly discretion. That is not true for modern payment processors like paypal or mastercard though.

Sorry, your pitch to clients is "throw away all of your leverage (existing job, unemployment qualification, health insurance, etc) to contract for a few months and then you'll get a great fulltime offer"? That's...deeply implausible.

I'm almost willing to believe this works for people who absolutely are unable to pass any sort of interview, but in that case aren't they still in trouble? How does a company decide who to bring on for the contract? Surely you can't replace the interview process with this.

I'm being charitable to the hackers, but maybe using only one wallet is part of the ploy? You can prove your identify by sending 0.001 to an address if someone doubts you. But then again if you have the info you can reveal some of it as a proof. Maybe a way to get street cred by having a proof you did the attack?
Certainly. It would just happen arbitrarily slowly. (And, at that scale, other factors would come into play; the soil would deform under the wheels of the tank before it moved any distance, probably)
You're probably getting downvoted because of the tone you used, but I think there's a good point hidden underneath.

Trump's account is probably specially marked for two- or even three-person lock, to prevent "rogue account termination" as has already happened. So the questions quickly turn to odd angles: how many other high-profile, politically (and/or economically) influencal accounts are equally protected? What criteria are used to assign the account this level of protection? Should this kind of account lock mechanism be more widely available? If yes, to whom?

I personally suspect that Twitter will eventually have to follow Google's route for high-profile accounts and identity management in general.[0] If people are using Twitter as their personal press office, the company has no choice but to accommodate.

It costs about the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project though, I would suspect, much of the cost of the Manhattan project was probably never accounted for, because much of the work was done by the military or other personnel paid for either way. You know, war time and such. But I haven't looked for any data on that, it could be it was all accounted for to the penny.

ITER is an international, purely scientific, peaceful project that is already going on for many more years than the original Manhattan project. Also fusion doesn't just happen by itself, when you "put the right elements close together". The problem that ITER tries to solve, even considering the advances over last 80 years, is quite a bit harder than nuclear fission in my opinion. Both are very hard, don't get me wrong, but fusion is considered the harder problem of those two.

It is good to ask, whether something is effective, efficient or at least has meaning. But with such endeavours, you can only really judge afterwards because it has never been done before. So the whole ITER project, with machinery that redefines the meaning of custom, costs about 4x as much, as the Berlin-Brandenburg Airport or 4x times as much as the current Lufthansa bailout. I wouldn't consider both to be very efficient spending of public money, but I am no expert. ITER is financed by most of the developed countries in some capacity, the compared projects are only financed by Germany.
