I hadn't really been following this previously, but I did glance at the official EC press release just now ( http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-4581_en.htm ). From that document: * has required manufacturers

Entertainingly, this is already regulated in an inconsistent manner in some states. In Virginia, for example, the government has some fairly broad restrictions on collection and retention of personal data, but to the best of my knowledge no

Ok, wow, those really don't seem to leave any room for "creative" interpretations. Thanks for the links! I'm impressed - all too often protections get watered down when being passed into law. I particularly like the incl

I think this is a false dichotomy. I agree that the issue arises for current systems that allow broadcast (one-to-all) communications such as this forum. I also acknowledge that it exists for email (one-to-one), but I think only because in

I'm well aware this is a completely public forum, yet I can't help but feel a bit as though the boss showed up to the water cooler while we were talking about him. I'd like to clarify that my comment wasn't intended to d

Not generally. The entire point being made is that whether one feature is deemed to be more valuable than another feature depends not just on the data fed into the system but also on the training method used. Specifically, the gp is pointin

Very much this. Something resembling an arbitrary number of groups per file (essentially a set of tags) and an analogous (arbitrarily numerous) set of tags applied to a process which match the launched binary. Bonus points if file format or

You know, forced resignation is a legally recognized construct. I don't pretend to have any idea what actually happened behind the scenes here, but given the circumstances I can't blindly take his resignation at face value.

Rather it would be an error to grab a Unix filename, figure your job was done, and store it directly into a string. So you'd... handle things correctly. Somehow. I admit I've never had the bad luck of encountering a non-UTF8 encod

The second I strongly suspect. After all, sufficiently advanced technology (or whatever else really) is indistinguishable from magic.

For what it's worth, I'm a home user still on Windows 7 plus a bit of Ubuntu. When Windows 7 finally hits EOL, that's it for Windows for me. After having had the displeasure of using family members' MacOS or newer Window

This is a completely disingenuous analogy. While both cases do involve a tragedy of the commons, in the autonomous vehicle example there is an additional immediate and severe risk of bodily injury or death to a human. The only justifiable r

In addition to @Sir_Cmpwn's answer, the developer logs from Voxel Quest (@gavanwoolery on HN) and Seed of Andromeda are both excellent starting points for getting a general overview of what's involved in this sort of undertaking.

Unfortunately the statistics are extremely complicated (ie it's well and truly apples to oranges with no end to the confounding variables), and the subject is so politicized that even academics can't seem to be relied on (Motiva

It's a bit of both. While there are certainly jurisdictions that are quite well behaved, there are also serious systemic problems. The aforementioned civil forfeiture is legal everywhere, so even if some departments don't engage i

Agreed, but I wasn't sure how to describe software that attempts to tightly restrict user actions, protect content streams, etc other than as DRM-like. Perhaps just "secure"? Someone controls the platform, and others (use

It sure would be nice if we could just purchase such unlocked devices directly. You used to actually control the devices you purchased. Then mobile comes along and so far we've seen locked OS accounts (rooting), locked bootloaders, and

Whoops, fixed. That's... kind of weird that the one in California varies by a single letter. Spell check was never going to save me on this one.

Fair enough, free is a pretty good price after all. But if anything, I honestly feel less safe knowing that the police department next door to me has that in their possession. Perhaps that's unfounded, but to me it really seems like a
