EUs GDPR vs California’s mini GDPR- CCPA | The New Privacy Act of 2018

Earlier this year (25th May 2018 to be precise), we had the European Union’s GDPR, which in many terms is a milestone in the digital age. It gives the EU and the EEA citizens more transparency of why, how and where their information is being used. That at the same time gave out some major hiccups to many local and international businesses all over the world.
Now, following the footsteps of the European Parliament and Council of the European Union we have here a new regulation- “CCPA”. A law for California, to give Californians the ‘who, where, what, and when’ of how businesses handle consumers’ personal information. Many of you must have already heard of it by now.
So, let us now discuss the main elements of this new California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018.

Effective Date & Deadline for CCPA- The Californian GDPR:

AB 375 California privacy act, officially known as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 will become effective from January 1st, 2020 onwards. This unanimous bill, signed by Jerry Brown, Governor of California was passed on June 28 2018, which initially started back in February 2017.

How Similar?

The 2018 California Consumer Privacy Act is in many angles like a ‘lite’ version of “EU’s General Data Protection Regulation” for Califonia. They have a very similar set of rules regarding the data classification, business rules, and tracking and to address consent and preferences of the Californians.

How Does Natural Language Processing (NLP) help Chatbots?

NLP is an interesting tool that helps break down the semantics of natural language such as English, Spanish, German, etc. to individual words. It then deciphers the intent of the input using various combinations of these words and responds appropriately. This piece of technology has been put to use by many organizations across the globe, and you might not even understand when you are interacting with a machine because it seems very human-like, but is very efficient and there is a very minute lag in terms of responses. Quicker responses help keep customers happy with the speedy resolution of issues and hence eventually result in more business and a boost to the top line. Read More:

Google's New Launch : Flutter 1.0 | What is “Stable Cross-Platform”?

Cross-platform (CP) application development is in the limelight lately, and more so as Google announces Flutter 1.0. Many enterprises are now considering CP for developing any new product. Google finally unveiled a stable version of their cross-platform mobile app development – Flutter 1.0, Google’s UI toolkit, on 4th December 2018 at the Live event in London. Cross-Platform SDK Cross-platform development involves the use of a single codebase for creating software applications that can be deployed on multiple platforms. This is particularly put to use when companies wish to sell the same product for more than one software environment such as Windows, Android and iOS. Various advantages of using these SDKs are: Reusable code Convenience Maintainable code Cost-effective Market Reach Flutter 1.0 CP SDKs are particularly important as developing CP apps can be a total mess of non-native code.

New Builds are Out and Rolling-   17723  (Fast Ring) and  18204  (Skip Ahead). The two new builds are out in the sky of Windows 10. We see some of the changes in build 17723 of  Redstone 5 & 18204 of  19H1  ( Redstone 6 ) which presumably means 2019 first half of the year. Here, we will look at the latest build of the ‘Redstone 5’ 17723. 2 days ago i.e.,  July 25th 2018 was the new release date for the latest build of Redstone 5 range. As per the company’s typical release schedule, Redstone 5 is due to hit the  RTM  (release to manufacturer) status in September, and the public rollout should begin in October. Today, we will be discussing the build 17723 only. That is because the ‘Skip ahead Build’- 18204 has almost nothing new in it for us. Right now, they both are pretty much in the same level. Though it is said to be stable, Skip Ahead might have some issues. However, if you may want to opt- in, to Prepare your PC for Win...
