If your app gains popularity in Italy, you have to care about Italy. That means supporting the Italian language always, it means supporting the odd Italian phone numbers if your app happens to deal with phone numbers, and it means complying with Italian law.

Now, if your app does not become popular in Italy, you just have five users there, do you still have to comply? No you don't, because de minimis non curat lex.

To wit, non-profit doesn't mean "doesn't take in money." IIRC, it means that the organization doesn't distribute surplus income (profit) to shareholders.

So, a non-profit that took monies from EU citizens I think would still possibly be affected, unless there's EU laws that make non-profits a different class of business subject do different laws.
I didn't get why the savings are supposed to devalue. The elder care costs for the super-rich is a drop in the bucket for them, and they can and will still use the rest of their wealth to pay poorer people (and robots) to generate them more wealth.

I can't wait to see laureates' Nobel Lectures. Each year laureates give a down to earth lecture about their findings - how they started, how they found the results, what motivated them to work on these problems, etc. Very interesting to see laureates explain this themselves.

Click on the laureate names, then choose "Nobel Lecture" to watch the videos.

One thing that is usually overlooked: do microservices fit your team structure? A team who spends all day together can manage a monolith very well, synchronous releases (everything-at-once) are not a problem. If you don't need 24/7, then it's even better.

However, if you're a distributed team (maybe across timezones), quick discussions are difficult and 'costly', then microservices might worth the effort. Managing the deployment and operations is more difficult but sometimes much less coordination is needed when people communicate through APIs and not Skype and Slack.
Sorry, I should have added "as long as you skip everything with Name That Ware in the title".
I don't think published messages to people you have chosen to share them with are the kind of information at issue here. Otherwise this would also affect email being sent across the Atlantic.

You're completely missing my point. Your facebook user name isn't personal private data, it's explicitly public. If people in the US have your name in their friends list that list belongs to them, not you. Not even the bit of it with your username.

I'm always pretty curious about why people, even on HN, seem to equate "this needs high precision" with "automated systems won't cope" when it comes to driverless cars. Saying something is really hard for a person because it requires careful, precise control sounds like exactly the sort of thing you want machines for.

So what is it about the task that is complex for a machine to solve?

I don't agree that scaling up is an unqualified advantage of microservices. In practice you have to co-ordinate communication between your services. Though some of this communication will be asynchronous publish-subscribe (ie: speed unimportant) some communication will necessarily be synchronous.

If one heavy part of your rails app takes up 90% of the processing time, there is nothing wrong with just getting a bigger machine for the whole app. The bigger CPU/memory/whatever will be spent on the heavy part and the rest will be normal.

For most business, scaling is not a problem - they can just get bigger machines. Having to re-implement transactions across your microservice architecture really is a problem. Very often transactions need to cross microservice boundaries and that really requires a lot of thought
Not only that, the microservices is just SUN-RPC, CORBA reborn and we all know how they worked out.

It's not hard to get people to leave voluntarily -- especially if they are technically competent. Management can easily do it by simply underpaying. Eventually the person will find a better paying job. If you want to get rid of someone and you are not in management, then just imagine all the crap things people have done to you in the past that made you want to quit. It's not hard.

Of course in true Machievillian fashion, I don't actually recommend this. It's the type of stuff that makes teams dysfunctional. One of the things that makes this all difficult is the question, "Who is the asshole who is making this project so difficult to work on?" Nobody answers with "Me". Engaging in petty politics to force people out is what makes you the asshole -- even if you are doing it to get rid of a different asshole.

Choosing to help the other guy, even if you think you have almost no chance of success, is what makes you the good guy. The problem is... you have almost no chance of success, the asshole probably won't thank you, and they will actually probably try to get you fired. Which is why sitting in your cubicle minding your own business is really attractive. But, of course, that just enables the asshole.

Leaving abdicates responsibility and leaves your mates with one less ally.

It's the Kobayashi Maru scenario :-) There is no right answer. It is simply a test of character.
Thanks for sharing this Jeremy. I hope everyone learns a few ways they can improve their site to get more traffic.

The business version of "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded".

(But yes, I hadn't heard of them.)
But user names in e.g. Facebook aren't private information, they are explicitly public. As are messages you publish to people. That's just not an issue. The issue concerns private information associated with your account that you have not chosen to share such as your personal phone number, physical address, date of birth, etc. Of course if you send that information around in public messages that's your problem, but if you keep it in your account, then the company, such as Facebook, transferring that account information to the US it is a problem.

> magine that each Python module runs as a microservice. For many modules this would lead to huge performance degradation, for example a regexp module can be called thousands times per second, the running time of a call is usually short and replacing an in-process call with a network call will give 100-1000x slowdown.

This is absolutely irrelevant. If your call budget is 400ms then extra 4ms that it takes fetching a data from a micro service is negligible. Make 400ms 4ms and you are done.
The problem with your advice is that when you don't know how to code, you don't understand how big the task is. You have a great idea, you try, it's too complicated, after 1 year (and even that requires a lot of determination) you have not completed anything, and you actually have not mastered the language/technology.

It's as if you tried to acquire fluency in ancient Greek by jumping right into reading Aristotle.

The point of entry is always very difficult, for any skill, and learning curve is most often steep and frustrating.

My advice - find someone who lives near by, someone whom you could call at any moment, and discuss your little project with him/her. Choose language/technology, and start working through some tutorials with your project in mind. Your friend should help you downsize your ambitions and limit the scope of the project to something you can actually execute.

You should be done with the basics in about 3 months (that means - no GUI). After that - try to limit the scope of your project so that you think you can make it in the next 3 months. (We know it will take you at least 6-9 months, but still, try to be on the schedule). Only then you will understand what it actually means to be a software developer.

(please note: software engineering is much more than you think when you're just starting to learn computer programming. Coding is not just giving instructions to computer to perform simple calculations. There are design patterns, team work, efficiency, doing things on time, math, frameworks, keeping up with super-crazy pace is which everything changes, there is network issues, and mobile devices, security, scalability, and much more. In short - it's a really complex trade and only few people will be able to do it).

This seems less about privacy and doing what's right for EU citizens and more about European countries enacting some kind of protection scheme to give American companies a disadvantage when doing business there.
Yes, that's one possible natural progression of a site that becomes popular; although in the meantime, Slashdot gave us a decade or more of valid insights.

Maybe the fate of all online communities is to die of popularity, or die by its users abandoning the site and it devolving into a clique of a few unconditional regulars; the key is to make good use of them while they last.

I think it will be reasonably argued that data in this context is the master record. The source of truth to which queries are sent.

A cache is not that, and you need only look at something like the EU e-commerce directive to find exceptions for caches and networks on the basis of being a "mere conduit" for the communication.

It is not as if the data is now toxic and cannot be cached or communicated outside of the EU, only that the data must be stored in the EU and should not be replicated to any database or storage outside of the EU that would prevent EU privacy law taking effect. That's important as EU privacy law already has enough exceptions to allow reasonable scenarios like caching to function.

And if you are going to say "well I could just query my cache", then I'd suggest that if your cache is able to do much more than a single key|value lookup to retrieve the cached item then it is in fact a database you'd lose the protections of being a cache and you're back in the world of not storing EU data outside of the EU.
Sometimes the blonde is the only choice to make a decision, because "try hard" isn't universal truth for every single mediums.

I'm one of the creators. This was built in 40 hours at Hackzurich 2015 (www.hackzurich.com) and combines the following:

* The largest rent database of Switzerland
* A model of the train system of Switzerland
* A simple recommender system
* Google maps for name -> geolocation
* OpenStreetMap for the map

There are some heavy calculations behind each query, so it takes about 15 sec to load. Furthermore, you need to like at least 3 apartments and dislike at least 3, before the system starts recommending.
What I don't understand is "to scale" part of an article. If you cannot sell shit to 225M people, how you gonna sell that for 1B?
As a minor observation, the researcher goes by the pseudonym 'Garson O’Toole' and uses the gendered pronoun 'he' when referring to the pseudonym, as seen at http://quoteinvestigator.com/about/ :

> What is Dr O’Toole’s background? Garson O’Toole has a doctorate from Yale University, and exploring quotations is one of his avocations.

(The Yale law librarian Fred R. Shapiro and editor of the Yale Book of Quotations further goes on to say the person is "PhD'86" from Yale
http://yalealumnimagazine.com/articles/3838 . However, if Shapiro is part of a Tlön-like conspiracy, then this would be exactly how to create a new Bourbaki.)

Also, if https://books.google.com/books?id=QZ0eAQAAMAAJ&q=history+is+... is correct about the date, The New Yorker, Volume 42, Part 4 (1966) leads with the line "Much of the world's history is written by history's winner".
It totally makes sense to have separate libraries even for one project if they can be implemented by different people and tested separately. I'd shout for that design any time of the moon.

My name is private data and should be treated as such. Companies need to have my permission to gather my name, and they need to tell me what they use it for and how long they store it, they should not gather it if they don't need it, they should store it securely, they should not share it with other people without getting my explicit opt-in.

That doesn't make it impossible for Facebook to do business. It just means Facebook needs to be more careful with what they gather and store.

It's true that Reddit is more or less representative of young, American, mostly white men. But that's not "the world". Not even close.
Are those inefficiencies actually so large? As they say, liquid hydrocarbons are a remarkably efficient method for keeping large amounts of disposable energy in a vehicle, currently difficult to match with e.g. batteries. And conversion of other energy forms to electricity involves some significant losses as well.
Sadly, the data protection laws have always had "national security" exemptions.
I see the strengths and weaknesses in the article, and the complaints from all the comments here, but I still find the trade off of microservices worth it. It requires sophisticated ops and well defined deployment tools and dev environments, but we have to handle ten billion requests a month on our stack. The ease at which we handle that scale, and the speed at which engineers get to iterate and deploy makes microservices all the more worth it.
Some EU laws may be intended to be consumer-friendly, but the intended outcomes don't necessarily line up. Case in point, the cookie law absurdity.

> And think about it: is there a really huge increase to privacy? What exact attack scenarios does this defeat, and how likely are such scenarios compared to run-of-the-mill privacy breaches (lax security)?

Those are two entirely different scenarios. There's no reason both couldn't (and shouldn't) be handled in parallel. For example starting next year companies within the EU are held liable for data loss, with up to IIRC 3% of their global revenue. That policy handles the lax security concerns; no reason to not tackle other problems, like the one described on this thread.
That's exactly the problem, though. You would find the trade-off worth it if you have ten billion requests a month. The problem is that people do it while only needing a million requests a month.
Sorry. How do I delete my comment?
Very interesting, great job! Building this type of interface, when you can have so many variations and huge amounts of options is really tricky.

I tried it out for a few minutes and noticed a few minor details:

* The shortcuts for Copy/Cut/Paste are all set to use Control, even if you're on a Mac.

* I have no idea how to delete elements. It seems the only way to remove em is to use Cut?

* If you don't have an account and you press Account Details, you get a modal that cannot be closed.
I've got a feeling that the Reddit community won't be too keen on this, mostly seeing it as another news organization "stealing" their content. IMO a good way to get users behind this would be to compensate the original posters for their content being posted on Upvoted.
I am not a lawyer, so do not take this as legal advice, please consult a lawyer if you want actual advice.

This said: Probably yes. EU data laws are mostly about private information, for example private chat messages, etc.

If you only store email accounts, you might get around the laws, but if you store anything like payment information, communication between users, etc, you effectively now have to follow EU data laws, which mean: You can’t give any third party (not even your government or hoster) access, you can’t store it in countries where the government might just seize your data (like the US), etc.
Rule of thumb: Divide number of full-time backend engineers by 5 and you get ideal number of microservices :-).

Too many microservices is a complexity mess, too little means you have a monolith that is hard to iterate on.
Probably not. The same situation as with Android on mobile phones, tablets and
TVs: locked in bootloader, proprietary peripheral drivers, proprietary
applications to run everything.

It would have be the source to everything without any exceptions, down to
bootloader, and then preventing producers to void your warranty when you have
changed your software.
