GDPR isn’t enforceable against foreign companies. It is enforceable against subsidiaries registered within the EU. Living in Germany means you are doing business with Google GmbH (or likely, the Irish subsidiary). Don’t want to comply with German law? Then Google GmbH must exit the German market.

Car sharing in Germany such as Bolt and Miles. The pickup and drop-off anywhere model is so much more convenient than the point-to-point or round trip model that zip car uses. They are cost competitive with public transit or private car ownership.

What sort of programming did you use to work ok your mobility? I’ve been looking to do the same.

It does indeed cover it, starting at the 35 minute mark. It’ll require some more digging if you want the primary sources they reference.

I’d agree with this assessment. The American liberal arts education can do a fantastic job at producing well rounded and well read students. At the very least exposing people to arts and humanities — or conversely to the sciences.

My take is that most modern PPLs have language bindings in JavaScript/Python/R because they are explicitly courting analysts/data-scientists/applied-statisticians, or they are taking advantage of modern technical stacks implementing auto-diff and co-processor routines.

Most pre- and post- processing (with the exception of visualization) should probably be a part of your model!

The article does reference that Chinese study, as well as a more recent one from researchers in Italy and Spain. It is great to see the scientific process at work — building evidence for a phenomenon. It also underscores one of the biggest benefits of preprints: faster dissemination of information.

The point still stands. Rental caps mean it is very difficult to find a place to live in desired neighborhoods. Of course, you can find places outside the ring, but those would have been cheaper anyway!

That’s not to say it isn’t sensible social policy. It is less disruptive to people who have lived there for a long time. But if you move for work, you will have to either pay a lot more than you would have in 2011, or get lucky.

Great timing: I just finished “Objectivity” the book she co-authored with Peter Gallison. It is a phenomenal work on the history of science, looking at the development of the concept of Objectivity throughout the enlightenment through the lens of scientific atlases. Her writing is beautiful, concrete and lucid. Highly recommended to any Hacker News readers.
