> I think if that was the case they could've just chosen to not collect any personal data from the five Euro users that show up once a year which would have taken less effort than putting that banner up.

Putting the banner up is less effort than reconfiguring your web server to not include IP addresses in the logs, and reworking your tools that currently use IP address such as various abuse detectors to use something else. Note that it is not as simple as hashing the IP address because the IP4 address space is small enough that hashing is easily reversed by brute force.

You can probably justify logging IP addresses, at least if you don't keep the logs too long, under GDPR without having to ask the visitor for permission. GDPR provides several justifications for storing personal data besides consent. But it is still personal data, so if GDPR applies then there are compliance costs.

For sites that are not in the Union and have no intention of serving people in the Union a block makes sense as a way to avoid that hassle. That's because for entities that are not in the Union determining whether or not GDPR applies when they are visited by people in the Union depends greatly on intent.

Article 3, "Territorial scope", says it applies if they are offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union or they are monitoring the behavior of data subjects that takes place within the Union.

The corresponding recitals says that offering goods or services means that the site envisages such offerings. Blocking visitors from the EU would be pretty good evidence that the site does not so envisage.
For anyone who wants to do a deep dive look into the life and works of George Gurdjieff and Oscar Ichazo. The Enneagram did not originate from the scientific method. It is a rebranded meld of eastern mysticism, new age woo, and Greek philosophy sold to the corporate elite as a tool to brand and control their employees. It's as much a religion as is Scientology.

Just take a look at one of the testing centers and the history they themselves list.

And even if they do fail it's rarely the end as the bankruptcy process do totally allow for the critical/valuable aspects of an company to continue under new ownership, and the state could easily ensure that that process happens by buying up the parts they have an interest in doing the bankruptcy proceedings.

All the current model of Bailouts do is protect the shareholders from having their share value wiped out as a part of the process, and of cause keep up the appearance that the stock market can keep going to the moon(which a lot of retirement funds depend on).

What evidence do you have that suggests auto-generated titles are better?
I used that all the time from my flip phone. It took forever to type out a google search and results could take a minute or two to arrive but it was better than nothing.

Primarily I used it to google the address of a place I wanted to go so I could enter that in my TomTom. Times have changed.
If you have a website you have to write this in your Privacy Policy and most do.

Firewalls are a curious case. It is argued that the data is not collected but transmitted to the controller. Almost as if you get a letter with personal data and now have to deal with it.

Yes, it's a stretch. Not happy with it but I don't see any practical solution either...
Pretty sure there's just a different notion of "Computable" going on. Author probably is choosing their (very strict!) definition of computable, whereas most folks would consider "Computable" to be "A computer could currently do it".

Regardless of whether yes, the given example
program is computable (it is), the general folks of the CS world probably understand it to be uncomputable because no computer could run that properly due to the impossible complexity in `if god`.

It does bother me a little bit when an academic writes an entire article about their specific definition of a word, then lambastes the world for asking dumb questions using a different definition of the same word, and refusing to elaborate.

"this project took me six weekends over three months and cost around $3,500"

Your materials cost was $3,500. What is your time worth per hour times the number of hours spent?

Then we will have a more accurate estimate of total cost.

Liquidity for every traded commodity is always on the exchanges - that's why exchanges exist - to provide liquidity.

I think you might be trying to say that most bitcoin is custodied on exchanges, and doesn't change hands via the bitcoin network itself? That could well be correct, and makes the exchanges a second-layer network with more emphasis on speed and low transaction price than security.

"People" (bitcoin owners) pay for the operation of the net via a free market on transaction costs. If less people start using the base-layer bitcoin network, the transaction costs reduce due to less demand, and therefore it becomes more attractive to use. Transactions on the base layer are a scarce resource just like bitcoin itself, and follow the same laws of supply and demand.

If you try answering my questions on gold in response to your other comment, you should start to get a better idea of things.
Chevron reversal is a high impact ruling that has slipped under the radar for most. Previously, the courts were to defer to the federal agency rules, unless they were egregious. Now, any rule can be challenged and the value set by a judge.
Legal experts expect an influx of cases, the consequences unknown but likely significant. Those with money can hire "expert witnesses" and pick favorable courts
Getting sued doesn't stop you from doing things, injunctive relief or losing the case does. At this point neither has happened and it'll probably be a while before it does (it's been 2 years already at this point).
Bait cars are not entrapment. In many jurisdictions in the west there is a sentiment against prosecuting criminals or even preventing crime, that’s the real issue.
That's not how I read it, but I don't see any case where offloading the entirety of IP in Jira to a third party makes any sense.
I wouldn't get my hopes up. Seems like the language of change with ways out of actually doing change. From the article: Each product has to fall into one of four categories: made by a seller (either by hand or using automated tools), designed by a seller, handpicked by a seller, or sourced by a seller.

Easy for something mass produced to be handpicked by a seller or sourced by a seller.

I had someone try to open my backpack and take my laptop out at young and dundas last week waiting for the walk light. The only reason I noticed was because it got lighter and thank god someone else notice and grabbed him. On Sunday morning I was walking down front st near union station and someone had started a bonfire with about 30 lighters and was offering up some type of substance to the folks sitting with him while some young german sounding boys took photos and discussed, 3 weeks ago I was walking down college towards Bathurst and someone came out of nowhere half naked with a GIANT FUCKING WHIP and started whipping the ground around me shouting at me. wtf is going on?
much higher than the cost of dropping a bomb (~ 16k dollars) from a jet on said target

If you can operate a jet fighter-bomber for less than (say) $200 K an hour* I'd be very surprised. And that doesn't take into account the servicing time on modern 'hangar queens' to get them ready for their next sortie. And what's the cost per hour of operating a carrier??

Try to include ALL your costs in working out the cost-efficiency.

* Let's be really generous and say you get 10,000 hours of service life out of a fighter jet. (The designed service life is only 8,000 hours.) The F-35 costs around 130 million bucks so over 10,000 hours that cost comes out to $13,000 per hour in just amortising the purchase cost, without adding in the operating costs themselves.

There are multiple SD-WAN vendors with active-active multipath functionality. Typically the number of parallel active paths is capped at something like 2 or 4. A few esoteric vendors do high numbers (12-16). Fundamentally your premise is correct, but the overhead % is a single digit as I understand it. Slightly different than Amdahl's law in my eyes (transmission of data v computation).

Scoped Propagators
I'll get banned for saying it, but it really seems like police (everywhere) don't really care about solving everyday crimes. They would rather use their powers in politically motivated activities, like stopping protests.
Police have worked themselves into a position where they have all the authority, and no accountability.

There is no upside for them to doing their jobs, and half the population will wear police-themed flags supporting their right to act this way.
I can't go into too much detail (I currently work at an HFT, but not on the HFT bits), but some of the FPGAs make decisions without even seeing a entire packet coming in on the wire. Latencies are more often measured in nanos than micros from what I've seen lately.
arguably this govt tolerates the crime because it's against people who normally vote against them, mainly small business owners and upper middle class people who own trucks and luxury cars, and the profits of the crime benefit the diaspora networks who donate to candidates who secure parliamentary seats for the party.

I live near brampton (in the article) where much of the car theft problem originates, and we are physically overrun by large groups of newcomers standing around on the roads at all hours because there are so many people and nowhere for them to go. it also creates a huge grey/black market underclass as the economy fails to absorb people in sufficient numbers. the basic problem is the govt wants to demolish the old society and has orchestrated a de-facto invasion to secure power for its party, secure seats with the black market money donations, with the convenient side effect of unleashing tolerated crime against its opponents. these are ancient tactics, just not ones we're used to in the west. tech like trackers, cameras, patrol drones, and even domestic sigint are temporary bargaining solutions to what is a policy disaster that could end with the stroke of a pen.
> The structure of your application state ends up being shaped by the UI, when it should be the other way around

I don’t understand this premise at all. Are you saying your UI should be shaped by your application state? That doesn’t make any sense to me, surely the application state exists to implement a desired UI?
IMO the absolute most important thing with a tool like this is performance. I have to sign in to a handful of cloud desktops each week and interact with customer Jira/Confluence/AzureDevOps/etc pages, and the big thing which kills my engagement is the app not being snappy enough. Doesn't matter how many of the features our Agile SAFe scrum wizard wants me to use, I'm not going to bother if there is too much friction. These apps inevitably require a lot of clicks, so latency becomes very noticeable.
Sure, but there's no reason to think that everyone now has to use the very strict definition of "Computable", when it has a colloquial definition that makes perfect sense (a computer can do it).

It could be Author chose (due to their extensive training) their (very strict!) definition of computable, then wrote an entire article about their specific definition of a word, and lambasted the world for asking dumb questions using a different definition of the same word, and refusing to elaborate.

This honestly happens all the time at work, when talking to academics, or even talking to laypersons. It's hard to establish common nomenclature, and drawing a line in the sand at their nomenclature and asking people to catch up is exhausting.
You'd have to ask Airbnb (and I doubt they would tell you without a court order).

If you build something interacts over a network with an AGPL’d program, then you are hitting the distributing over a network clause in the license.

From my cursory googling, I believe seccomp on Linux is one way to achieve this. See e.g. Cloudflare's "sandbox" wrapper:

https://github.com/cloudflare/sandbox

FWICT, it's not possible to achieve something like this reliably on Windows natively, but maybe in WSL it could work. On Mac, there is the similar libsecinit aka App Sandbox which also can be spawned from a userspace process, I think?

Of course in every case the program spawning the sandbox has to be outside the sandbox. But having to trust Rye or UV is much better than having to trust thousands of "RandomDevsNichePythonPackage".
Much more than a headache, unfortunately: yt-dlp only remuxes the stream as a post-processing step after all streams have been downloaded. So this would take my nice on-demand stateless solution that just returns redirects to the raw video URLs from YouTube, and turn it into a stateful application that downloads and rehosts the video files on my own server.

To accommodate that, I'd then need to create a configuration layer that determines which feeds to download and when, since I wouldn't necessarily want every video posted on every channel I subscribe to downloaded to my server in advance.

So it turns the whole project into something quite different and much more complex. If there was something that could remux the streams and then pipe the output stream back out over HTTP, that would be more appropriate. Maybe I can work with bindings to FFMpeg to create something that would work here.
Well, you need to monitor the process for going down anyway, and

ss -lntp | grep 'pid=<SERVER'S PID>' | awk '{ print $4 }'

takes care of servers who don't report the port they're actually listening on.
The keys to decrypt the kernel are in u-boot. u-boot's keys are in the low level boot loader, and the keys for that are sometimes burned in write-only fuses on the microcontroller itself. Other chips have OP-TEE or similar frameworks, and you just chain the keys all the way down to the initramfs and that data is wiped when you start init.

You're reliant on the capabilities of the chip that you're working with, and a flaw in that can unravel everything that you've done. In one case, I had to disable the on-chip boot agent once things were provisioned because of flaws in their implementation.

In short, a signed applet could be sent to the chip to do things like read/write NAND or NOR, set fuse bits, etc. When an unsigned applet was sent, it was rejected as expected but they neglected to clear the memory contents in this case. So you could send a malicious applet, let it be rejected, and then just tell it to execute. It's kind of a fascinating writeup if you want to know more [1].

I imagine for similar reasons there aren't good data broker sites or ticket scalping sites, they're inherently cutthroat industries that make money on locking up as much product as possible — opening that up only serves to create a race to the bottom on fees, which is great for consumers but terrible for the companies themselves.
I can't tell if you are implying we should throw them in jail for being out of work and homeless or saying they believe all thieves are unemployed.
I “hacked” free WiFi on a very long flight to Beijing about 10 years ago when I was in my 20s. I was visiting my girlfriend’s family and didn’t actually have more than $20 to my name at the time.

It was a simple matter of joining the network, and then dumping the traffic in monitor mode. I could log MAC addresses of other devices on the network.

I made a list of addresses and then spoofed someone else’s address that must have paid, and blamo, I’m online.

I would rotate to another address when Internet access deteriorated: this meant the other guy was trying to use the Internet at the same time.

Yeah, I know I’m awful.
At a company I used to work for long ago locked the network down pretty good, so a coworker used ping requests and a server at home to get around it.

To answer this question and many more, I would recommend abandoning modern religions and returning to traditional ones. You'll find ancient wisdom has answers to a lot of modern problems and questions, like the topic in the linked article. It's just really inefficient to slowly rediscover the answers to these age-old questions when there are already a lot of very good answers that very wise men suffered for a very long time ago.

I realize many moderns harbor dogmas that may prohibit them from engaging with anything that isn't completely secular, but all I can say is: try to be a bit more open-minded and re-engage with traditional wisdom. There's a reason it's survived the test of time, thousands of years. I'm biased toward Greek Orthodox.
Japan has about 10x the amount of freshwater as California, California is a desert with very little freshwater, most places has way more, even islands like Japan.
You can also expressly state that you have a commercial license too. Your entire license can be something like “ If you’re using it for commercial purposes, you must see a commercial license with XYZ. Otherwise, for all noncommercial uses, you may use the software according to the terms of the AGPL license.”

every time i read about theoretical cs I’m left with multiple questions:

How can we justify not steelmanning a ternary approach to halting? Can someone show me one proof which doesn’t rely on “muh do the opposite” (how do we know the halts program can’t detect this and crash with Err(ParadoxError)?) or the circular logic appeal to Rice’s theorem which itself depends on halts being undecidable? I’ve yet to find one. Collatz Conjecture? Only with unbounded memory and time, which is un-physical. That’s something we learned from Ray Solomonoff: the difference between doable and impossible is often a time limit.

According to the concept of equivalence, aren’t p and np both equivalent and not, in infinite ways (a “filibuster proof,” just make the argument for and against their equivalence based on their mutual relationship to each counting number), and fundamentally designed to be not equal by virtue of us naming them differently?

Finally, what the heck was Gödel thinking to assume we can assign different numbers to zero and the logical not? If the Gödel numbers are off, or even if not, how can an incompleteness theorem be complete? And if the incompleteness theorem is itself incomplete, why should we take it super seriously?

Just seems like we take the validity of these fundamentals for granted, and “most computer scientists believe X” is not exactly a strong argument for anyone to believe X, because it’s an appeal to mass belief.

Lest anyone think I’m a snooty smarty pants, I’d like to say i think I’m an idiot. Every day i beat myself up for being an idiot. Go ahead and feel free to downvote for this, or call me a crackpot, but a bunch of bedrock ideas of theoretical cs really are weird and suspect

- decision problems with Boolean outputs are inherently nerfed compared to ternary ones with options to refuse to answer or to stop programs from outside
- p vs np suffers the same problem, since “equals” or “not equals” ignores the infinitely huge elephant of “equivalence” (not equal how?)
- Gödel numbering zero (an integer) and logical not (a function) separately is a false difference because zero IS not (to the universe itself) —

to say we can’t form complete systems out of items we ourselves falsely separated in the first place is what the universal substrate, if it could speak, might call a “skill issue”
First off your idea is entrapment and generally not tolerated in a free society. Secondly your idea would make sense if you were trying to actually catch criminals.

like many other large western cities, policing has become a political issue and are no longer allowed to police. They catch criminals and then release them to the streets hours later without charge.

Policing has become political in Left leaning cities.

This isn't important; but Delta's "free with SkyMiles" offering is for domestic US travel. For international travel they're still charging $8/hour. Supposedly they may expand the free offering to some flights to Europe though but YMMV.
For the RequireCapsLock tool I chose caps lock because most people don’t use it very often and it doesn’t have side effects from being held down while pressing mouse buttons.

The idea with this tool is that if your left hand and more of your brain is actively involved in what ever task you’re working on you will complete it more efficiently. I don’t use this tool all the time but do find it useful for certain tasks.
What are you going to do, buy 1000 high value bait cars to evenly distribute over probable target areas and hope they get broken into so you can catch people? That doesn't sound trivial to me or assuredly useful. It is also a decent investment for a city, with high depreciation and no guaranteed return.

This also has obvious workarounds, like targeting residential neighborhoods with cars in driveways instead of cars on the street.
I don't believe a word of it.
