I think that "such system" was put together using Django (or equivalent) over a 72h sprint on Friday to be "working by Monday" as an emergency measure.

Absolutely, that's "data minimisation" in GDPR! All of the data collected should have been available only to the doctors with a need and researchers should have gotten an anonymised DB. But there is a problem of ML-assisted d

I actually disagree that people should be able to opt out of contact tracing during a pandemic. Also, how do you opt out of a medical history? Doctors cannot treat you properly without one. I think proper infosec is the only way here or pen

I don't think so given how much share Linux has on Azure, it simply would not be a wise move.

We are actually talking about orthogonal aspects. You are right that being able to run the system on a smaller number of nodes reduces inefficiencies and reduces the "hit" of diminishing returns stemming from Amdahl's law. Ho

So what you are saying is that because Fugaku supercomputer has 158,976 nodes, it's "horizontally distributed" and Amdahl's law does not apply to it but only to the 48 cores on each node? A task that we have (if we want

by smarx007 6y ago
Yes, that's true but beware of the fact it only works this way if your code is 0%-serial, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law for the math. By the way, this law is why supercomputers like Fugaku http

Yes but no. The figure you reference shows the lowest price of a lowers tier available. I am pretty sure if you cannot switch from S3 with full availability to S3 Glacier, your savings will not be SO impressive as that fall-off-the-cliff fi

Quite possible. But you need an EU entity for that and it's likely why Eclipse Foundation (Eclipse Foundation != Eclipse IDE for those who are not aware but rather a competitor to Apache and Linux foundations) has moved to Europe: htt

They are exempt from consent but not from the law. Also, GDPR is not about things but their processing purposes. If you use my MAC address to address my network traffic, that's a legitimate business need; no consent is needed. If you u

What you are saying is that if the websites fingerprints a Chrome browser instance without consent, Google is liable for that. > The consent MUST be received before storing cookies I don't think we have any disagreement about that.

I think NOYB can make a good case for nuking apps that fail to ask for consent completely off the App Store if requested by any protection agency.

Not at all! Desktop apps require platform-specific executables and installers so this is unavoidable. But the author made it sound like a piece of cake for developers used to making JAX-RS services.
