Local log files are not automatically compliant by my reading of the GDPR, but IANAL. My understanding is that PII is a huge risk, regardless of it being local or with a vendor, and you aren't allowed to track things that you aren't actively using for some business process. Many default log formats have data that people don't actively use, which seems to be a violation of GDPR even for local files.

Again, IANAL.
I'd imagine part of it is the timeframe of "eventually". Why care that the company will be in ruins later, if it makes you rich now and you think you'll be out the door before the apocalypse comes?

Of course, there's a simpler answer: because they think it will be profitable. The aggressive settlements described in the article might even have been a part of the original calculations in just how much money could be made.
There are a bunch of decentralized cryptocurrency exchange projects coming. My favorite so far are https://loopring.org and https://0xproject.com, but there are like a dozen out there.

This is just the beginning. As centralized exchanges start having all sorts of problems (CoinCheck, Bitfinex, maybe Bittrex and Poloniex soon), more people will start looking into decentralized exchanges and thus increase their liquidity. Even Binance, one of the biggest centralized exchanges right now, said that it wants to become a decentralized exchange.

All of this probably won't happen within the next year, but it will happen. It's just a matter of all the pieces falling into place for people to switch. Probably the #1 thing that could help their adoption is being able to integrate new cryptocurrencies faster than any centralized exchange can, especially if this integration is "permissionless", by simply allowing the cryptocurrency developers to support its protocol and then have the cryptcurrency automatically appear on the exchange.
Save for posing a major threat to suppliers who rely heavily on them, it would be a surprise if Apple sells its chips to anyone. Their chips are certainly great, if the responsiveness of their iOS devices is anything to go by. The OS and restrictions on background processes doesn’t harm them either. I wish they could somehow share their all advances with everyone.

This brings me to my main problem with Apple; as a consumer of technology in a the developing world. For Apple, I don’t exist, or at least the vast majority of my us don’t. The technology is always priced beyond our reach. Some individuals can afford them, but the vast majority have to use alternatives. Any success in slowing down Android would have meant no smart phones for us. Most people I know can’t afford an iPhone. This is what I consider the other side of the Apple story.
I think the market believes that even if there is some level of foul play, bitfinex has the deep pockets to make it up to them, in at least the strange way they made it up to the people from the previous hacks.

Bitfinex DOES seem to have very deep pockets to be able to respond somehow to it. I doubt bitfinex could pull off the self-heist move and dissapear.
Don't make any assumptions about the end-user (developer). I've tried many web UI kits and ditched many because they got in the way.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to include the modules and see no immediate effect — completely opt-in. I could first opt-in to the basic styling via a class on the body tag. Then I could opt-in to other components via classes and specific structures. Namespacing the CSS classes would be great, too, so there's little chance of colliding with my custom CSS [first-party, first-class] classes [that I shouldn't have to namespace].

The web UI kit I'm using now that comes closest to this ideal for me is https://getuikit.com/.

This is the most damning one. I recently (6 months ago?) switched to Android and I still have friends who cannot send me text messages. They're non-technical and unless I'm sitting in a room with them will not be able to walk them through the process. They have to do something, I can't do it on my end. So now I have a handful of friends with whom my only method of contact is FB messenger.

it's not about "no more battery" its about peak cpu usage drawing too much power instantaneously. all apple did was cap peak power draw in the power drivers. this prevents data loss. it's a good feature if designed correctly.

Hello!

I used to working on the AMS self-service advertising team as a developer.

Note all opinions are my own.

When I first joined the advertising team, I was unsure about a product that can have a seedy sort of reputation on the web. But I was very pleasantly surprised how much we care about the customer experience in regards to ads at Amazon.

The end goal is always to show the customer the best item for purchase, and Retail would always set a high bar for the Ads team. This has in-turn caused us to invest a lot into ensuring the relevancy of our ads is top notch, we do not want to display ads which are ineffective - this hurts both the retail customer and the advertiser.

Nothing would get approved without vigorous testing to ensure the ads had a neutral or positive impact on the retail customer.
I still don't see how local files are by default compliant with the GDPR. I get that you prefer it from an ethical point of view, but that's unrelated to the specifics of the GDPR.
For a different perspective, I would say their problem is integration with the "real world" with constrains that bitcoin wasn't designed for.

It seems like today everyone want to feel victimized somehow, sure a lot of terrible things happened in the past, and it's good to be aware of that so we won't let that kind of atrocities happen ever again.

I'm from Mexico and here a lot of people "hate" on Spaniards because "they conquered us" that exclamation sounds pretty absurd when it comes from a dude with lactose tolerance and a big beard (both gifts from Europe). Population from northern states will have around 70% European DNA and 30% Native American, Southern states usually go the other way around 30% European 70% Native American, some researchers would say not even Native Americans of today are 100% pure natives, Mexico experienced a mix of cultures and blood since the XVI century. And yes it involved war, slavery and a lot of other atrocities. But the truth is we're not either the conquerors nor the conquered ones or you could say we're both, we're the result of that mix of cultures, trying to feel victimized for something that provoked one of your ancestors to other of your ancestors doesn't make sense.
At least if you're absolutely blatant about your lies. One quick call to the FDIC and it should have been clear that they were spewing bullshit that might come back to haunt the government.

I believe we still have Diplock courts. They were actually put in place because internment without trial was considered too draconian. The kind of thing that would never occur with a constitution (give me a G...)

> Californian cities can take their own people's guns away

How does that work? Is California accepting that the 2nd amendment put in the bit about a militia for a reason or something else? I mean, the US Constitution isn't meant to be a state by state menu is it?

> You have to have at least minimal evidence that somebody did something before you can ransack their house.

I believe you have to have reasonable cause. You don't actually need any evidence. And, as you point out, you've all had a few years to drum up some excuses when it becomes inconvenient.

I'm sure having a constitution is comforting and all but, in reality, you're in exactly the same boat as the UK and for exactly the same reasons. We have checks and balances too.

And when the state, in its infinite wisdom, chooses to bend them, we sometimes get quite annoyed (the UK version of angry).

I disagree. The problem of the government lying to the public multiple times, that lack of integrity, is a bigger problem. Because if they cannot be trusted to communicate their operations honestly, then how can we trust them when they tell us later (after being ordered to put in place the "clear process" you're asking for) that they did it?

> It is really kind of crazy, if you think about it, how closely the quality of our healthcare and the healthcare of our dependents is tied to the company we choose to be working for at the moment.

It's insane when you think about it from a people/citizen or a rational point of you. It's great if you are a large company because you get tremendous tax breaks for providing healthcare options and of course it heavily ties down an employee to the company.

It's why companies love H1B visas. It ties employees to the company else they get deported.

In the US, our system is so geared to capital and companies that such nonsense is allowed. Anything that gives an advantage to corporations, owners, business.
I have nothing against Buffet. I just think that you can't become a multi-billionaire by being a nice guy. You have to be ultra (pathologically?) competitive and ambitious to get that far.
> Stopping people’s phones from randomly shutting off is anti-consumer?

In and of itself? Nope. But someone should be asking Apple why they have 3, if not 4, generations of phone now that has to have this software "fix" in order to continue to operate. Looking at forums, some people's phones are getting throttled well before Apple's 80% battery capacity mark. Someone needs to be asking why. Some people's phones are getting throttled after only a year. Why? Someone needs to ask.

Maybe you’re referring to raising money from non-accredited investors. For the time being, AFAIK that’s still not allowed. There was some movement on this in the crowdfunding for equity space, but not sure what the current status is. It seems everyone has gotten too distracted by cryptos and ICOs to care.

The concern here is that Apple had other motivations for this change besides just reliability.

Stepping back a bit, I don’t recall hordes of reports of random iPhone shutdowns in early 2017, but it certainly did happen some of the time. This update slowed down every iPhone with an old battery regardless of if that user was ever really likely to experience random shutdowns. The fact that Apple obscured this change also makes it a bit more suspect.

Except that the software changes were made to hide the fact that these batteries were inadequate to begin with. This wasn't about making phones more reliable, it was to keep them functional at the expense of performance.

Honey Buckets – Find out who is snooping through your Amazon S3 buckets
This was not a junior developer who accidentally rm -rf'd some server, this was a process failure that involved multiple people. In the IBM example, had that mistake been the end result of a faulty process designed by a manager, that manager should be fired or at least removed from a position to make process decisions.

Whoever designed the process for sending out the alarms (likely a committee of sorts) should be held accountable for their gross failure. Firing is a efficient way to remove under-performing employees and ensure that remaining employees give the needed attention to the important problems.

Maybe the employee who clicked the button to send the false alarm should be consulted when the alarm process is redesigned. I'm sure that they would be very familiar with what went wrong and how it could be improved.

Well that's how it works. If you want healthcare to work for everyone, you cannot expect that insurance will reimburse treatment from top doctors outside of rare conditions (where top doctors are the only doctors). Sport related injuries are extremely common. Why should an insurance reimburse an incredibly costly treatment when a normal treatment is good enough for most people? By definition, you cannot have an insurance that covers everyone but sends you to a top 1% doctor. What would the other 99% used for?
99% of Pony Kafka is written by me (for better or worse). I've been working on it since about May 2017 off and on with it being my primary focus for the majority of that time. However, due to working arrangements and other commitments, I've only spent about 12 or so weeks of time on it (where 1 week is equal to 5 days and 1 day is equal to 8 hours).

There have been a few iterations on the abstractions and API of the library but the majority of the architecture has been the same from the initial design sketch. I started by envisioning the features the library needed for end users and also internally in order to fully take advantage of Pony's actor concurrency model. From there I worked out the data and functionality ownership of the various bits (i.e. which actor does what and why). Lastly, I ran it by a couple of folks here at Wallaroo Labs to make sure I wasn't making any obvious mistakes.

The biggest change so far has been caused by building in the leader failover handling in relation to the data/responsibility ownership transferring from one actor to another. That's not entirely completed yet but it has mostly been an internal change. The end user API has also changed, but that has mostly been about fixing abstractions and/or data ownership issues.

I'm sure there will be additional changes as I have time to go through to fix abstractions and add in other features. Dynamic configuration changes, exactly once semantics, and group consumer functionality are all likely to impact the end user API along with requiring internal changes.

What "moral consequences"? Nye's stances on relevant issues are well-documented. They're not refuted by merely sitting in a chair next to someone else.

He's not 'lending' anything to anyone, except in the reaching imagination of those obsessed with wholly-symbolic rituals of association, distancing, and shunning.

If this appearance causes some to claim Nye supports Trump's agenda – they'll quickly be refuted with all Nye's writings and performances otherwise.

If this controversy wins Nye extra media appearances, he'll there again clearly articulate his own true views for anyone who might have been confused by the childlike, pre-modern, quasi-religious doctrine that "near contaminates near with idea cooties".

Worker Who Sent False Hawaii Alert Thought Threat Was Real, F.C.C. Says
We are in touch with a prospective client who is planning to outsource their product development.

As a company, we decided to give it a try so that we can fund our own product which is under active development.

Having said that, we are unaware of the economics of project development as we all have background in SaaS product companies.

I have come to the conclusion that we should charge them on manpower basis i.e
$x per developer per month + $y where x is subjective to skills and experience and y = cloud infrastructure cost. The reason being that this is a long term project and therefore, we didn't want to get slowed down.

This is in contrast to the hourly task/project based approach.

Please advise.
