Hi, I'm involved with GDPR for my work, although in academic context, i.e. the primary motive in processing of personal data is in security, provisioning services, accounting purposes, etc. Also, I'm not a lawyer, and this is just my personal opinion.

So, while I do work in academic environment, I do have contact with people from industry, and they are taking this seriously. (Of topic, this actually created a new business opportunity, for compliance with the GDPR). However, GDPR is not that different from the Directive, if you were compliant with the Directive, chances are, you're probably (mostly) compliant with the GDPR. Yes, the conditions for consent are strengthened, and since now we have a Regulation, it is valid in all countries. There are other differences, and it is more stringent now, but it is not drastically different from the Directive. BTW, this link[1] have a nice overview (I'm completely unaffiliated with that firm, I just like how they structured it...):

[1] https://www.whitecase.com/publications/article/gdpr-handbook...

One thing that people lost sight of, at least in my opinion, that GDPR is not just about punishment, or stopping the processing of personal data, it is also about transparency. People should not be coy/evasive/unclear about what kind of data one is collecting and for which purpose. This is one of the most important things (again, in my opinion). Processing of personal data has a valid and important purpose, and the GDPR is not there to stop it.

And for the question will the GDPR be enforced, I think it will. For the moment, though, all data protection authorities (DPAs) are a bit overloaded, and I suspect that will be the case in the near future. But obviously, EU and EC are taking GDPR quite seriously.

Hope this answers your question.

> I don't think Windows runs faster than Windows 7.

They're claiming the opposite:

>> With Windows 10 [...] we expect that some users will notice a decrease in system performance.

>> With Windows 8 and Windows 7 [...] we expect most users to notice a decrease in system performance.

>> Older versions of Windows have a larger performance impact because Windows 7 and Windows 8 have more user-kernel transitions because of legacy design decisions, such as all font rendering taking place in the kernel.

I see. So this is more to be interpreted as a rushed preliminary report, forced upon them by appearing at the HN front page, to prevent uninformed rumor to appear and to spread. Or, did I miss something?

EDIT: Apparently the latter didn't work, as the very first response to their comment starts with "Do we get points for speculation based on these hints? ..."
I can see Google paying just about any reasonable price to avoid discovery in this one.
You are confusing anti-septic with antibiotic.

Cleaning things _before_ you operate is relativly easy. Iodine/bleach/listerene/arsenic/ozone will all kill bacteria on surfaces.

Why antibiotics are great is that they can be taken orally and they kill bacteria _inside_, but not your body.

UV/blue light is indescriminate, you can swallow a blue light pill and expect it to descriminate between your body and non-local bacteria
Down again today, same outlook. So much for premium, managed services.
Interestingly, in 2010 Brazil introduced legislation severely limiting access to antibiotics for humans. Since then you need to hand in a prescription with each purchase -- and it is kept by the pharmacy. Doctors still prescribe antibiotics more or less liberally, so it's not perfect, but most self medicated abuse has been drastically reduced.
It's completely anecdotal, but I'm convinced my Phenom-II x6 system's IO has slowed to a crawl in the last few days...

The very brief suffering of an animal in the wild at the hands of a predator is nothing compared to the entire lifetime of unrelenting cruelty, suffering and unnatural confinement we offer them. There just really is no comparison at all. If you think there is then go educate yourself about what really goes on in factory farms.

> This whole thread is responding to the author of Caddy saying specifically that people need to intervene or Caddy won't necessarily renew properly.

No, that's not what Matt said:

> Your sites will likely not go offline even if you do not use this flag because Caddy tries up to 2 times per day, 30 days out, to renew an expiring certificate, as long as you keep it running.

> the TLS-SNI authorisation will either still be valid, and it will renew as expected, or it will need to re-authorise via challenge, and it will fall back to the http challenge as I just demonstrated

This is not an accurate description of how you'd be affected with typical certbot deployments. Two examples:

Debian Stretch with apache2. Certbot's website recommends the following command:

sudo certbot --apache

Currently, this fails with the following error message:

Client with the currently selected authenticator does not support any combination of challenges that will satisfy the CA.

Same OS, nginx. Certbot recommends this command:

sudo certbot --nginx

This causes the same error.

Renewal would fail with the same error message; You can find examples on Let's Encrypt's Community Forum if you don't believe me[1].

Is it possible to set up renewal in a way that would cause certbot to fall back to a working challenge? Sure. But it's far from common or even the default.

> If you follow the standard setup for Caddy you have a 50/50 chance of getting a cert today. Either you accept that people can deviate from the most basic "this is how you can run it as an example" or we stick to the defaults both ways. Claiming "oh but the standard setup.." when this issue requires caddy users to change their freaking init/sevice files is disingenuous.

Again, you're misinterpreting what Caddy does. Renewal will only fail if you're unlucky 60 times in a row, as opposed to 100% of the time for most clients in common scenarios.

Yeah sure. The suffering you cause is proportional to how much meat you eat. If quitting it entirely is too big a step for you then try scaling it back. Even a single meat-free day a week is a good place to start. You may find you don't miss it as much as you think you will.
I absolutely disagree. If I, as a driver, see someone in a left-only lane, it should ba absolutely safe for me to assume that they are indeed turning left - so I can safely pull out at the junction. Obviously it leads to accidents if the person then goes straight and runs into me. Being in a left-only lane is the same as indicating a turn.
The thing I really, really, really don't like about the GDPR is how the EU thinks it can impose it on companies that have no presence in the EU. While the GDPR requirements might be reasonable, this is a very slippery slope that will only end in disaster.
It's a pity how little most people know Mark Twain. He was so much more than the guy who wrote Tom Sawyer. He had many different and uncommon lifes in his life...A lot of inspiring things too.

His 3 volumes autobiography is a long but amazing read, just like his letters. But my favorite is "Life on the Mississippi". All this is close to 2000 pages but it's worth reading.
I always found it hard to understand what's so difficult in actually stopping when the sign clearly says "stop". The wording hardly leaves any room for misinterpretation, doesn't it?
CPU performance isn't important for 'typical home and business' tasks.

They're estimating 6% slowdown based on SYSmark 2014. I quickly skimmed the whitepaper and think this is probably reasonable; there's a mix of CPU-bound and I/O-bound tasks, and the CPU-bound tasks won't be impacted. Most home users are still on spinning disks, so that's your bottleneck for I/O, not the additional syscall overhead.

A 6% slowdown is imperceptible to a human. For tasks that don't need a lot of CPU power (like office applications and web browsing) even a 30% slowdown is not that big a deal.
Can we report JAVA/Oracle for installing malware or do you will ignore big company?
Are there any servers that automatically generate self signed certs for any SNI they receive? I think servers like that (if they exist) would also be vulnerable.

No, the law clearly says that you can never overtake a vehicle on the right - and it applies to cyclist the same as to everyone else, even if the vehicle wasn't turning right it's illegal for the cyclist to overtake it on the wrong side.
The web package definitely originates at the origin, but is it up-to-date? While I assume the web packages have expiry dates that the CDN servers would respect, this doesn't give the full control that Cache-Control headers do.

And in terms of functionality, does the AMP web version have all the functionality of the normal site? Often this is something I see missing on AMP sites. A top-bar gives you the ability to get back to the full site.

Antibiotics are still used in massive quantities in the US solely to promote growth and also to allow animals to be confined in increasingly smaller and less hygienic environments and to compensate for increasingly dirtier and more dangerous slaughterhouse conditions. None of this is necessary. From what I understand this is less the case in the EU.

80% of the antibiotics used in the US are given to animals, not people:

Oh wow, that's crazy - especially 8 years since they said they'd look at it! Thanks for the info
I'd expect that the regulatory authorities simply cannot have enough capacity to worry about the smaller issues for the first month, quarter or even whole 2018 - they'll have their hands busy with the really big cases.

The US government sure. The NSA? They sure would as this statement shows.

I'm not sure having bicycle paths is always feasible.
The first reason is that building a bicycle path could take years and the problem can be solved much earlier and simpler in the way described.

Second, low-traffic roads may normally be safe enough for cyclists (traffic amount was never stated). The same issue can apply to remote roads of all sizes. Granted, it would be nice to have a bike road next to every high speed road, but for traffic in the range of 20cars/h I've seen that exactly once in my lifetime.

"...privacy reasons make it basically impossible to load the page from the publisher’s server. Publishers shouldn’t know what people are interested in until they actively go to their pages. "

ROTFL. Publishers can't know due to "privacy", but Google can?? Which is the greater threat to privacy here?

I am not sure which would be worse: the authors knowing they are bullshitting or them actually believing this.
I've got a few that have worked for me in the past.

1. Find your local job boards. A large number of agencies in my local area post on a local media job board, even though in my experience on the other side of the hiring process not many people use it. When going for senior roles this is a huge advantage, as many agencies I've worked with will pay 15% or more of a candidates salary as commission to a recruiter.

2. Go to user groups. It's by far the best way to know who is hiring, who you want to work for, who you don't, etc. Being a part of the "community" is also a great way to get "in" with an employer on the outside. It's shocking how many employers will hear that you regularly attend or talk at user groups, and think "wow, this guy must be an expert!"

3. This is kinda a mixture of the two above, but follow dev leads on Twitter for local companies. It cuts out the drivel from company accounts, and more often than not if their employer is hiring for a dev role they'll either retweet or tweet the job post themselves. There's probably some cool filtering you can do with a Twitter list and a few search queries.
That was sort of the whole point of the parable.
you still have to go from bare metal in someone else's DC to having you software running on top of it, who's going to do all that config work? You're spending resources either way.
How did I learn to cope? How did I learn to cope with being bullied, having been bullied or how to deal with such situations as a bystander? Maybe I'll just answer all of them.

I'm not bullied any more, and can effectively defend myself now.

I'm not sure I learned to cope with having been bullied, or if I ever will. It is an invisible scar that shows itself in counterintuitive, suprising, and sometimes creeping ways. I don't know how to generically deal with it. Self-chosen social isolation is an intuitive way to deal with it, though I don't want it for myself.

I'm quite stubborn and don't easily give in to social pressure, so that might have made it easier for me. I'm also curious and want to try out new things, so I try to benignly ignore social conventions to see what happens and learn from that. This has made me in some aspects very social, because consciously refusing or experimenting with implicit social norms can lead to behaviour that is not often seen. For example, a coffeehouse is not for people to drink coffee even though that is the implicit convention; It is much easier, cheaper and more comfortable to drink a coffee at home. People go to coffeehouses for social interaction. I realize that and act accordingly. I just go to people I'd like to talk with and ask them if they feel like chatting. My experience with that has been astonishingly positive, so I assume my understanding is correct. But doing that is not easy for everyone because the fear of rejection is so strong, even when the decision to try it was made very consciously. Humans are masters at unconscious interpretation of behaviour and social situations. We know when and who to talk to about what because we dread social punishment so much. This is just one example, and I don't understand psychology very well including my own, but hey, at least I can share my experience. :)

I learnt how to act as a bystander from many experiences. There is a good german explanatory video that gives an introduction[0]. Key to stop bullying is to understand that passive bystanders make the situation for the victim significantly more painful. Those around can easily and effectively stop most bullying. If you are bullied it can help to call out passive bystanders directly and individually.

Deterrence absolutely works, and it is not necessary to bully others to build up deterrence. For instance adults can easily seem like demigods for children; unsurmountably strong, more knowledgeable and experienced, larger and heavier, with deeper lower voice and unmatchable social standing. This is why children don't often pick on adults.

I think the belief that animals don't feel pain started with Descartes (or was at least popularised by him) because we're "conscious" and they're "not".

Since then we've been slowly reverting that belief but probably for reasons of cognitive dissonance the onus has been on proving that each type of animal is capable of feeling pain, rather than the other way around.

Personally I think the onus should be to prove that animals don't feel pain, as that seems like the more contentious statement... not that it sounds like a field of experimentation I'd be unambiguously happy about.

My Body Is Not an Object
Human is a terrible source of food, just like any omnivore or carnivore is. This is because carnivores are unable to excrete most of the heavy metals they acquire over the years. As such, they become toxic to ingest. Even people who only eat seafood are susceptible to Mercury poisoning for this very reason.

And dare I say this is the reason societies evolved in a way to avoid cannibalism of aged people.
I remember working with QuArK to build Half-Life levels which must have been somewhere in `98-`00. I loved building the levels and triggers for opening doors and moving elevators. I remember at the time being impressed with the sculpting from UnrealEd when it was introduced, but I don't recall it being more intuitive. Anyone else who used QuArK who has an opinion?

Seeing the screenshot with the gridview from QuArK brings back nice memories in any case:

Hi, thanks for your reply. When we lived alone we lived like animals. I did every chore I could but, one can only do so much. I was supporting the family, every night, I came home, cooked dinner and did chores until I literally would collapse. Weekends, Sat I'd do yard work, laundry, pay bills, random repairs to the house, cars etc. Sunday morning, hit up Costco, grocery store, get home, do more laundry, if I'm lucky, an hour in the gym. Suddenly its 1:00am.

Ironically, living alone was much easier. The wife unit has good intentions but doesn't recognize her own limitations-- which are severe.
When I lived alone I could socialize. I had a cleaning service, my wife didn't' like this for some reason. She insisted I fire them but didn't pick up the slack despite being unemployed at the time. I had fewer dishes and shopping to do, less wear and tear on the house. One less car to do maintenance on. I could go out with friends We had to move in with my parents--after two years of three to 5 hours sleep, my brain was cooked.

To answer your question... She is beyond messy. Clothes were strewn next to the clothes hamper. I bought her a trashcan with an automatic lid and set it 9 inches from where she sat most of the day. She stacked her trash on the trash can.

You cant make this stuff up. I love her to death which is admittedly a dumb thing to do. But, this self-protection circuit in my brain kicks in and says "This individual will drag you to hell, don't let her."

Two days ago I sent her this text, because we can't talk anymore, "I’m at my breaking point. Again. 10hth time in our marriage at least? I’d like to discuss our options at this point."

She's put in a lot of effort since then (made dinner for the first time in a year). But, it's all an illusion. As soon as I decide I can live in the marriage, she'll revert to her pitiful state.
All the complex illustrations are not telling me that this is the solution to GDPR consent - instead, the illustrations are clearly showing that adtech simply will not get the consent that they had before and will have to stop using that data. The user will look at all the information that you have to show and say "yeah... why would I ever want to opt-in for that?".

That's the whole point. If you want to keep the whole existing model of many networked partners using all that data for all kinds of interesting purposes, you won't ever be able to explain all that to the users in a manner that somehow motivates them to agree instead of simply choosing not to consent. The question isn't how to get consent for the current practices (which isn't plausible), the question is how to run adtech that doesn't rely on protected personal data.
Here's the European interpretation: It's a fucking dongle joke! Why the hell would anyone feel offended by a fucking dongle joke? Seriously.

And yes, we have no trouble saying "fucking" without censoring it. And if there is a "nipple slip" on live TV, we don't make such a big deal out of it. It's a fucking nipple, get over it.

So to answer your question:
1. We see no problem in dongle jokes
2. If someone would see a problem with it and complain, those complains would be ignored (because we see no problem)
3. If those complains would go public, we would treat that person as "Ah, some idiot has a problem with such a simple joke, weird."
4. But if somehow, there would be a public shitstorm where everybody seems to be losing their mind, the company would not fire an employee over a fucking dongle joke, get serious.

So how such a thing can escalate like that, is beyond any of our (European) comprehension.

If you reread my explanation above, you will see I make no difference between different groups of people. That might already give you a clue of what is going wrong.

And if you would treat each other with more equal respect (men, woman, blacks, whites, ...), maybe you wouldn't be so uptight when someone makes a simple joke.
I feel like a lot more drug research should be state funded. Increasingly often we hear about some miraculous new drug that costs an arm and a leg and literally bankrupts people who need it. I understand that pharma corporations need to recoup the massive R&D costs, but it seems morally reprehensible to restrict treatment to the rich.
