> This is a limitation of those languages, which should not force a language-agnostic protocol to adopt the lowest common denominator of expressiveness.

It's an intentional decision made by those languages in order to focus on other things. If your intent is to be language-agnostic, then yeah, going with lowest common denominator concepts is exactly what you need to do. If you just want to write a Haskell auth implementation using your favorite pet language features, then write a Haskell auth implementation.

Thanks for clearing this up. The general data points and metrics we store are not personal data.

IP address is the only piece of data that we touch that is considered PII under some regulations including GDPR.

The IP address is fully anonymized by hashing it together with a daily changing salt. Old salts are deleted to as to prevent re-identification: https://github.com/plausible/analytics/blob/master/lib/plaus...

According to GDPR Recital 26, anonymized data does not fall within the GDPR at all because data is no longer considered “personal data” following anonymization:

> The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable.
> When you go out of town you stay there

Stay as in? Spend the night? Just stay there on the curb side hoping for a chance that someone will need a ride back? How is that "making money"?

> or set your direction home and pick up rides in that direction

Drivers already do that. Additionally,

- A driver who lives west of town will not pick a ride to the east of town on the off chance that there will be a ride back if only he stays there long enough.

- A driver only needs to go home at the end of their shift. So why would he pick rides in the direction of his home at any other time? Hoping for a chance to pick a ride on the way back?

> Drivers who say they don't get paid coming back are ignorant.

As I've just demonstrated, it's not the drivers who are ignorant.

Haha. I was about to make the comment that university prestige means didley in actually running a business. Whats worse is they raised more than a billion dollars which boggles the mind on how you can fail so hard with people literally throwing money at it. How amd where did the money burn at that rate?

Whitman's success to failure ratio is astonishing and that failure tends not to be attributed to the prestigious education...oddly.

This is an inaccurate take.

The default for an approved CA ballot initiative is that it cannot be amended or repealed by the state legislature. Normally changing a ballot initiative requires another ballot proposition, so an initiative permitting the legislature to make changes with a seven-eighths vote is actually more amenable to changes than normal, not less.

The California Constitution has a clause that enables initiatives to determine whether they can be changed by the state legislature.

You may argue that this is weird, but it's how ballot initiatives work in California, so this one isn't rewriting the democratic process.

There are definitely two schools of thought (that go beyond academia).

One is that the research/teaching situation is frustrating for many so if you're near the time you were going to retire anyway, you might as well spare yourself the frustrations and retire early.

But the other is that everything is frustrating. Travel, for example, is hard. So you might as well get a couple more years of salary while the getting is good.

A video clip shows another suspect, Brandon Caserta, standing in front of an anarchist flag saying Trump is a "tyrant.”

The right wing media seems to want to associate the actions with the Left or BLM, which seems like a reach. But I don’t see how someone calling Trump a tyrant can possibly be associated with Trump himself.
Was going to ask the same thing.

There's not much in PHP 5/7/8 which precludes just doing some raw db queries and including some templates.

The biggest 'drawback' might be that there's not one name-branch 'framework' which takes this approach (indeed, it's the opposite of 'framework' thinking). But if there was some project that documented/demonstrated 'best practices' for 'non-framework' projects, it might help reduce the "I need a framework because raw PHP is so messy" objections.
Hey you might want to note a bit more about what exactly this does and how it does it on the README. I went to the page and was thoroughly confused -- does this library:

- Read application code (written in python?) and extract an API specification? Is it flask only?

- Does it update the file on disk repeatedly?

- Does it modify generated application code to add an endpoint for the Swagger UI and host it?

- Are any modifications to the pre-existing applications necessary?

- Does it wrap an existing application?

Good tools also often have a comparison section -- are there other tools in your space that do what you do, but differently?

I'd like to think I'm familiar with the Swagger/Swagger2/OpenAPI3 space, and I'm aware of tools that go spec->code (usually generating clients/servers) and code->spec (whether by comments, annotations, or some other language mechanism), but it's not clear what your tool actually does.
I would normally opt for Signal because it's open source. This is inherently more trustworthy.

No, I am simply responding to your rather formal point, in kind. Unless you are aguing for it being an established fact that the time evolution took to produce intelligent life rules out any form of reinforcement learning producing AI in any remotely reasonable period of time, then that original point of yours does not seem to be going anywhere.

In your work on theorem proving, am I right in guessing that there are no 'ifs' or 'buts' because the truth of premises is not an issue? In the "evolution argument", the premises/lemmas are not just that evolution took a long time, but also something along the lines of significant speedup not being possible.

You might notice that in another comment, I suggested that we might still be in the AI Cambrian. I'm not being inconsistent, as no-one knows for sure one way or the other.

There should be a choice: either the legal system protects your IP (copyright), or you do (DRM).

I don't necessarily agree with that premise, but even if we accept it for the sake of argument, I don't think the legal system does effectively protect your IP in many copyright situations, so what happens then?

As an analogy, if you told every store that to prosecute the theft of a bar of chocolate they'd have to employ specialist teams to track down the individuals and then spend a thousand bucks on legal fees to bring a private prosecution, and at the end they might only get back the cost of the chocolate bar and a bit of token compensation, do you really think thieves would be deterred effectively and the store properly protected in its legal rights?

And yet we usually define copyright as a civil matter in most countries, other than sometimes in cases of large-scale commercial infringement, rather than a criminal matter like theft. Stores might or might not employ a dedicated security guard, but if the guard does see a theft, the rest of what happens after the police are called is mostly going to be handled and paid for by the state. It makes a viable deterrent against large numbers of small-scale offences. Such a deterrent doesn't usually exist in the case of copyright infringement.

My sense is that, by and large, they're not being done remotely at the grad level. The schools I'm familiar with also have undergrads back in limited numbers in part so that they can take care of courses that have to be done physically.

I guess the relevant section also quoted in the original post by Confiks ("the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible") may be up for interpretation, and as a result not everyone might have provide such an API. But this specific case, we can be sure that it most definitely was technically feasible, as the feature used to work before their ToS change and it merely stopped working because they wanted to block SongShift.

Is the border currently open between Vietnam and Thailand?
Mine does. Has both Teams and Outlook alerts. During the work day I'll check if I see it ping, or have Teams up on a laptop and next to me where I'm doing something else in the house (usually cooking lunch or dishes).

If it's after hours I tend not to pay much attention to my phone, maybe glance at it when I have to look at it for something anyway. My boss knows to call me if there's an emergency after hours.

And that happens because we're now a tiny department within a large corporation that supports multiple call centers, and there's periodically network issues we have to help diagnose and fix or we risk breaking our contracts with our clients.

It's been a challenge at times, I've spent some long nights trying to get the right people from other departments on the call to fix the problems, since I don't have full access to everything in our data center (corporate likes to keep things siloed), but when that happens I just do my best to give myself the time back over the next couple of weeks during the work days. On balance I'm probably still only working 40 hour weeks (maybe even less some weeks).

We've been full remote for two and a half years though. We've been doing this since before the pandemic started.
While I don't object to the outcome here, the process to collect this VAT in my opinion was wrong.

It looks like Uber decided they'd found a loophole in the VAT law. The government reviewed it and agreed. A random third party (the goodlaw project) forced the government to reconsider and collect the tax retrospectively.

I don't want to live in a world where a random third party can 'telltale' on me to the government after I've already been given the go-ahead.

In my mind, the correct route for this should be that the third party asks the government to clarify the law, and then Uber is forced to pay VAT from that point forward.

I never understood this “suicidal” critique of jQuery. I've never got so tangled up in my own code to feel the urge to switch to a different model.

I've seen Backbone.js, Angular, React, etc, all come and go and none ever answered the “why would I want that” question to me. I remember using Prototype.js and MooTools.js and when I saw jQuery's home page I knew instantly the “why” and the answer was an instant and rejoicing “yes”.
This is like arguing that front doors shouldn't have locks because burglary is illegal.

Legal status and practical enforcement are unrelated issues. You seem to be attempting to conflate them because you just don't like the idea of copyright.

But that's a different issue. In fact it's perfectly consistent to enforce copyright through a combination of DRM and legal challenges.

Legally copyright is the default. Nothing is in the public domain unless it's explicitly handed over to the public domain.

So software items with DRM can't be "stolen from the future public domain" because the DRM is part of the product or item. And it's up to the rights holder to decide whether or not they want to free it. This is a deliberate choice on their part. (It's a little more complex with other content because the content is assumed to have an existence independent of its realisation or distribution model. Not so much with software.)

None of this justifies Adobe's actions, and a class action against Adobe would also be reasonable. (Realistically not likely to succeed - but hardly baseless.)

But it would be an argument about real/assumed/implied breach of contract with buyers/license users, and not over copyright terms or DRM.
Is it easier to start a research lab when you are competing for a small pool of researchers with a bunch of already established labs, or when there are 3 underemployed PhDs at every coffee shop in town?

If a world war lasts 4 years, and a typical PhD takes 5 years, which country can more easily spin up research: the one with an excess number of PhDs at the start, or the one which waits for the outbreak of war to fund more PhDs who will graduate 1 year after the war is done?

Yes, some resources are spent on training a PhD who doesn't use it, but there is also a cost to not having enough PhDs available when you need them. If the latter is greater than the former, excess PhDs are optimal.

As someone who used openAPI for the first time recently, I don’t understand the benefit.

Im building an integration between two different API’s. I was given the openAPI spec and instructed to find a mock server generator to get a boilerplate app up. I spent like two hours trying to find some sort of generator that provides value. All the generators I tried seemed half baked (I wanted to use rails for this project, because that’s what I am most familiar developing in. I understand rails is a sub optimal choice for this project.)

In the time I wasted trying to find a generator, I could’ve just wrote the code by hand. Once I just started manually writing code, everything started moving much quicker. Even if I had used a generator, I’d still need to manually update things every time the interface changes, yeah? Who is openAPI for?

Excellent! I once went to a local burger place - they have a menu full of the various types of burgers, all loaded with everything. My kids are super picky, so I asked for a burger, with nothing except the burger and the bun.

Server looked confused - but which burger did I want? It became apparent that while I could ask for a preset item and ask for removals, I could not actually go fully off menu. So I had to ask for "the cheese burger, without the cheese" (as somehow distinct to say, the bacon burger, without the bacon). I laughed at the ludicrousness of that, but now I see they were channeling Sartre! In retrospect it would have been a truly beautiful absurdity if see had come back and said "sorry, we have no cheese, do you want no bacon?"
Minor correction: it's "detailed balance" (not "detail balance").
