Well, GDPR requires that you do those things. A clear EULA that says we don't do any of those things so if you don't like it don't use our service would still be illegal under GDPR, right?
See above my comment about practicality. It takes no effort for me to not violate your first amendment rights. It's a negative right, not a positive right.
Patents, yeah. Copyright and trademark are really about fraud than theft. Trade secrets are trade secrets: the violation comes from trying to circumvent security, not having the data itself. So I'd say it is very nuanced ;)
(see my window shade example above)
Well, I liken it to window shades. You don't own the photons bouncing off of you so if someone looks in your window and the shades aren't closed, then they aren't stealing your image.

If they try to circumvent the protections you put in place, that's different. Same thing with data.

Then there's that.
I 100% agree. The problem is that practically rights have to be reasonably respectable (able to be respected) by people at little cost to them. Like, it's not difficult for me to not steal something from you. Erasing everything I ever wrote down about you is difficult.

But also:

> Seems like Europe has decided that privacy and control of data personal data is something they want.

The problem here is that governments allow people to claim rights without bearing the cost of that claim (or at least hiding the cost).

Well if the USA were to have a law that is GDPR "like", that's in there.
Can we just take a step back and admit that treating an IP address as personal information is patently ridiculous?
That's exactly what this is. GDPR is untenable and creates magical rights where none exist. You don't own information about you. Data is data. The only reasonable thing I can see out of it is getting companies to clarify (simplify) their EULAs.

"it is striking that the system spent long seconds trying to decide what exactly is sees in front (whether that be a pedestrian, bike, vehicle or whatever else) rather than making the only logical decision in these circumstances, which was to make sure not to hit it."

That is striking. It always sort of bothered me that AI is really a big conglomeration of many different concepts. What people are working on is deep learning for machines, but we think that means "replicating human skill/behavior". It's not. Machines will be good at what they are good at, and humans good at what they're good at. It's an uphill battle if your expectation is for a machine that processes like a human, because the human brain does not process things like computer architectures do.

Now, if some aspiring scientist wanted to skip all that and really try to replicate (in a machine) how the human brain does things, I think such a person would be starting from a very different perspective than even modern AI computing.

tcpdump + CloudShark is my go-to. Usually using cURL with their API or SCP via Couchdrop.

You're right. I should clarify that by "we" I mean "the people doing stuff".

Oh man I am having a nostalgia heart attack right now. I remember coding a "guy shooting falling aliens from the bottom of the screen" game and hilariously having the aliens move not only through a timer but ALSO when you moved since there was no threading. Classic.

Musk further said, "This is totally not related to why we want to mine asteroids."

I think cloudshark ended up doing this anyway, probably not with PacketQ on the backend though.

It looks like it's just using dumpcap, so yes? Whatever Wireshark can do I would suspect.
Re:Building a network capture probe with Raspberry Pi on Tuesday April 05, 2016 @02:25AM (#11428272)
I'm pretty sure that's just a script anyone could write. Looks like it just makes one API call.
Re:Tcpdump is amazing on Thursday March 17, 2016 @10:18AM (#11304464)
It's also great combined with something like CURL you can upload the captures to CloudShark and skip using Wireshark entirely.
