Working in spatial data science, I rarely find applications where k-means is the best tool. The problem is that it is difficult to know how many clusters you can expect on maps. Is it 5; 500; or 10,000? Here HDBSCAN [1] shines because it will cluster _and_ select the most suitable number of clusters, to cut the single linkage cluster tree.

Similarly, but for salt (but respond here, as my HN info is blank). We used to have some land that was mostly ruined when a oil extraction brine tank burst back in the 1950's. In 2010, a few weeds were starting to pop up in the resulting scar.

I think this is somewhat common, and with sea levels rising, it will become more common over time.

Well, the onus is on people who make the claim that it works to put the scientific material forward, not the other way around.

And so, "to the best of my knowledge, this is unsolved" is not an opinion but a fact.

I am happy to be proven wrong with the relevant material.

And by material, I mean scientific papers, not assertions such as "product/seasonal campaigns are super easy to measure and prove."
They still have to write a bunch of drivers that they'd get for free with Linux. Clearly they think the tradeoff is worth it but it's not obvious why.
IANAL. I do have a certification data privacy, although it is for US and not Europe.

tl;dr EU-located servers are neither necessary, nor sufficient.

Recent decisions by courts and regulators (many in the past month or so) have clarified how and which data transfers from the EU to the US are in violation of GDPR. The current landscape this is: a transfer of personal data to a Controller subject to the US CLOUD Act is in violation of GDPR.

Let me go through several important things you should know:

* EU-located servers are insufficient. A fine was issued to Cookiebot (Danish) for using Akamai CDN, even though the court acknowledged the servers were located in the EU and the contract was with Akamai's EU subsidiary. A server owned by a US company is subject to US warrants, which is what violates GDPR.

* Every rulings I've read mentions the CLOUD Act explicitly. As far as I'm aware, US companies not subject to the CLOUD Act might be GDPR-compliant. Maybe. At the least, it hasn't been found illegal yet. The CLOUD Act applies to 'telecom' companies, a definition which includes Google and Amazon.

* BREXIT: The EU has an adequacy decision with the UK, meaning no special protections are needed. The UK still has an adequacy decision with the US. So if you're in the UK and only dealing with data subjects in the UK, this is not necessary for UK-GDPR compliance. In the EU, a UK-based hosting provider is totally fine, assuming they're not subject to CLOUD Act.

* The GDPR definition of "Personal Data" is nowhere in the same league as "PII,
" and thinking they're similar is generally a mistake. To a first approximation, PII only refers to plaintext data that can be used to commit identity theft. Personal Data is any data point that can be connected to an individual. Examples of things the courts have ruled are personal data included IP addresses, and the randomly-generated first-party cookie that Google Analytics uses to tell that two hits came from the same user (and nothing else). GDPR explicitly contrasts anonymous data with pseudonymous data, and the latter is (usually) personal data.

* There are a handful of other countries which do have an adequacy decision in place, including Isreal, Japan, Canada, and New Zealand. Using companies based in those countries is easy to do from a GDPR perspective.

If you want to find more about the current legal state of data transfers to the US (which is in a period of serious flux right now), the place to start searching is Schrems II, which is the lawsuit that forced legal recognition by the EU of the state of data privacy in the US. The recent wave of rulings (which is still ongoing) were part of 101 lawsuits filed by noyb, the non-profit started by Max Schrems to press this issue.

I would argue complacency + selfishness + a small amount of ignorance. Some people really do not know that you shouldn’t get in the left lane unless you plan to pass a vehicle or want to drive faster than your current lane. A lot of people know you shouldn’t tailgate or cut people off or smash the accelerator just so you can smash the brakes 10 seconds later when you get to the red light or stopped traffic that was clearly visible, but don’t give a shit because when they’re in control of a car they feel entitled to drive however the hell they want.
Apple's advantage is actually that it provides much higher single-thread (really, per-thread) performance than "comparable" x86 processors. A M1 Pro can match a 12900HK in perfectly-threaded high-code-density scenarios like Cinebench, with half the thread count. Real-world IPC is something like 3x (!) that of Intel right now - obviously it also clocks lower but Apple hits very hard in lower-thread-count scenarios.

If your code is bottlenecked on a single thread, or if it doesn't scale well to higher thread counts, Apple is actually great right now. The downside is that you can't get higher core counts, but that's where the Pro and Ultra SKUs come in.

(The real, real downside is that right now you can't get higher core counts on M1 without being tied to a giant GPU you may not even use. What would be really nice is an M1 Ultra-sized chip with 20C or 30C and the same iGPU size as A14 or M1, or a server chip full of e-cores like Denverton or Sierra Forest, but that's very much not Apple's wheelhouse in terms of products unfortunately.)

Criticism of something is not necessarily an expression of fear. This reaction primarily serves to make critics feel ashamed for speaking out against something, as in "oh you're just afraid of my-good-idea-X"
Yeah, this is probably the most pragmatic answer.

It's a pain to implement and only adds more complexity to my setup for a tiny percentage of customers; but on the other hand the more I dig into the answers, the more unclear things get with recent rulings overturning common practices.

It's unfortunate that finding the answer to such a simple question seems to require lawyers, especially for a small business like mine. I wish we could protect data and privacy without opening Pandora's box.

Tons of companies and government agencies in the EU depend on Microsoft, Google and Amazon, and undoubtedly these companies also make a lot of money this way. The scenario you sketch is a possibility, but I think both the EU and US will do everything in their power to avoid this.

> currently debating what to name a conditional structure, and it’s kind of fascinating

What's also fascinating (or, rather, horrifying) is how bad the whole thing is.

SASS is 15 years this year. Its concepts have proven their worth over, and over, and over again (and reimplemented several times in Less, PostCSS plugins etc.). W3C's own design system uses SASS [1]. How much of that did we get to see in CSS in the past 15 years? Maybe, just maybe we'll finally get nesting some time in the next 10 years or so.

Conditionals? Hahaha. If you're betting on getting them sometime before 2045, you're a fool.

The same thing repeats all across other tech in browsers. Detecting ambient light in browsers? Oh, w3c got you fam [2]. Providing usable styleable common components? Ahahahaha, even w3c relies on third-party implementations [3].

Most of the people on these committees have never developed a website in their life. Those that did only maybe implemented a blog or two a few decades ago. And the rest of browser implementors? Oh, they've never touched anything beyond C/C++ code in browser engines. And trying to get people who actually do this for a living there? It's a rather tough endeavor [4]

So, I wouldn't hold my breath for a decision on conditionals. Or for conditionals in general.

As a frequent pedestrian/cyclist, I completely agree. We don't let just anyone drive a truck or fly a plane, but somehow piloting a personal automobile is treated with nothing even approaching the seriousness of those other activities.

Unfortunately, we also have decades of built environment that strongly assumes most adults can and will drive. We have significant segments of the population for whom their choice of car is tied into their identity and ego. We have an assumption that many jobs can only be driven to, or even require driving on the job.

We don't have even the political willpower to take away licenses from obviously unfit seniors, much less able-bodied working adults.

People get away with a slap on the wrist for vehicular manslaughter because what's the alternative? Ruining a second life by causing the perpetrator to lose their job? When they already feel terrible about what happened and isn't that punishment enough?

I don't really see a way out of this other than what is already happening in a lot of places, which is trying to break overall car dependence so that taking away a license (or making the tests hard enough that way fewer people can get one in the first place) is no longer a death sentence.
I would never trust compost from a municipal source. Too much chance for random toxic waste to get introduced by unscrupulous dumpers.
> driver's education probably should look a lot more like civilian pilot licensing with required x hours of instruction time

To get my driver's license in Alabama I was required to do this at the time. But it was self-attested, there was no independent verification of driving experience.
Suppose you use prices and square meters, to cluster apartments. Suppose you also use a simple metric, like:

distance <- sqrt(d_price*2 + d_area*2)

Without normalizing the units somehow, so that they have a meaningfully similar numeric expression, you are essentially only clustering by price, which is in the tens- or hundreds-of-thousands.

You use very little information about the area, because that is in the hundreds, at most thousands.
That's a really pedantic take, nothing precludes you from using whatever distance function you want to get the distance to k centroids and act accordingly
I understand your sentiment, but surely you realise that the entire ads industry has a lot of proven outcomes? All the millions/billions spent by customers isn’t done so blindly.

I've been on Reddit from the beginning, and absolutely nothing I said contradicts me believing it was very politics/programming heavy from the start. Like I said, Reddit at the time believed there was too much politics/programming, and that's why they created subreddits.

You're putting words in my mouth and then being condescending. That's why you got downvoted and flagged (not by me, for the record).

Prices change in anticipation of changes to supply and demand, even if those changes have not occurred yet. The stock market will swing down on the announcement of an interest rate hike, even if such a hike hasn't taken place yet. So it's entirely reasonable to attribute price increases to current events (although it is still worth pointing out that it's only a contributing factor, since inflation has been quite high for months).

It might make even more sense to run a cutting-edge distributed OS on the actual Oxide hardware. With rack-scale platforms like this it could be feasible to do SSI with distributed memory across multiple "nodes". Current "cloud" platforms like Kubernetes are already planning on including support for automated checkpointing and migration, which is sort of the first step prior to going fully SSI.

They are mostly interchangeable. They all store data; they all run Linux VMs. Switching costs are high though.

It's surprising that vendors make their custom cloud features (e.g. SQS) more expensive than running the same thing yourself - because those have the most vendor lock-in.

from my understanding of the development of the international oil trade in the 20th century, one of the key advancements by multinational oil in the West was to learn lessons from the British, and do two important things on foreign soil: always back a leader that can hold on with local support; always pay the Nationalist/Military oil interests very well, in addition to making trade rights built-in.

Unfortunately, it seems that the "wild west" behavior of the USA in South America, in the wake of the brutal Spanish conquest long ago, made some enemies (that have oil) that are not easy to talk to now.

Reviewing PRs on GitHub is embarrassingly bad, given that it's their core feature. It hasn't been upgraded for years, even, missing features BitBucket/Stash had like 10 years ago. Now a file tree is finally in beta, so it's possible to navigate between the files. But it's still impossible to see the context around changes without having to press expand/(...) a hundred times.

I've recently experimented with the PR feature inside JetBrains IDE's. It allows one to navigate quite well without having to actually switch branch. Like it so far, nice to see the whole file and related files, not just the diff.

> All that said, I'd love to see some E-core only chips come out of intel targeted at thin clients and long battery life notebooks.

they exist, that's called Atom. "e-core" is just a rebranding of Atom because the Atom brand is toxic with a huge segment of the tech public at this point, but Gracemont is an Atom core.

There's no Gracemont-based SKUs yet, but Tremont-based Atoms exist (they're in one of the models of NUC iirc), which is the generation before. Also, the generation before that is Goldmont/Goldmont Plus which are in numerous devices - laptops, thin clients, and NUCs.

Keep an eye on the Dell Wyse thin-client series, there are a lot of Goldmont-based units available if you can settle for a (low-priced surplus) predecessor.
