Yes but it means that much of Dart was designed around the limitations inherent in JS, which means you get stupid stuff like the int primitive being: "Integer values, which generally should be in the range -2^53 to 2^53" https://www.dartlang.org/guides/language/language-tour#numbe...

Or a completely lack of parallelism, which is an omission that grows ever larger as even mobile SoCs are flirting with double-digit CPU cores.

So you got all the downsides of JS with none of the community/libraries of JS and with performance promises that only manifested with a custom build of Chrome. That's not a happy place to end up.

If they hard-kill dart2js then maybe Dart could turn into a nice language, but dart2js is what keeps Dart from becoming interesting. But since it looks like Dart 2 is going to still support the web via dart2js it doesn't look like Dart's going to get any more compelling.
My core belief has always been that as long as China has this culture of authoritarian and heavy handed internet control, it will always have a self-imposed limit on their ability to compete. I understand they have a deep rooted value of stability and that they believe they're keeping their society from running off the rails, but if they were to allow their citizens to contribute more to the direction of the government, then the end of the U.S. hegemony would not just be a possibility, but practically a foregone conclusion (some seem to think it already is inevitable, but it's been predicted for so long now, it's starting to feel like the forever predicted rise of Linux on the desktop).

However, I'd be curious to hear good reasons for China's economy to dominate the world stage even with this sort of thing constantly happening.
I can kind of understand the brute-force approach of just pure production from a gigantic population, but India has a comparable population size, but not a comparable economy, so I tend to think that a large population doesn't guarantee a large economic output.

There is so much innovation I see happening in the tech of China, but their fear of their own citizenry and fear of transparency make me think they'll stay behind their potential.

This could all be my own Western bias for democracy, so I'd love to hear other thoughts on this.
I wonder what's the safety of doing this. Will people caught red-handed be jailed?
I have a heads-up display in my Audi A4, and it turns out to be surprisingly useful. It shows speed limit, current speed, and upcoming navigation turns. The only problem is that it can be difficult to see if wearing polarized sunglasses.

Even then not. The territorial scope in Article 3 of the GDPR is not that far reaching. It applies to processors with establishment in the EU, non union data processors who perform a service to data subjects in the union or the case of the pizza guy:

> 3. This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data by a controller not established in the Union, but in a place where Member State law applies by virtue of public international law.

So unless there is a treaty that puts GDPR into scope, the pizza guy is fine.

Not sure where you live but in places like Australia, UK etc. there are speed restrictions for certain areas.

In particular when you drop from 60km/h to 40km/h during a school zone. These are often continuously monitored by speed cameras and subject to excessive fines and often loss of license. And if you've ever been in a high end car this drop in speed is often hard to notice.

So yes, a lot of the population are constantly checking their speeds. Otherwise you at risk of losing your license and if you cause an accident going to jail.
Don't disagree with you that nobody else is very different. Way too many "progressive" "change the world" techies are willing to get into bed with governments like this as long as they are making money. It's sickening.

Where you are wrong is the suggestion that this isn't entirely different. People bitch about US policy all the time. 50% of the political discussion on HN is bitching about US policy. I can't blame anyone for that (especially because it affects so many), but HN is a site based in the US, started by a VC firm based in the US, etc. It's super annoying when people from other countries who have never lived for any length of time in the US and act like their country is heaven on earth complain, but you get to complain, nobody stops you, you'll often get upvoted.

That doesn't happen in China. If the government (the party), which has been in power for 80 years, decides you don't get a voice, you don't get a voice. Given enough time, because we allow criticism and discussion, US policy will probably change as it has many times over the centuries. What's gonna happen in China? Nobody knows.

If it scares people that we now have strongmen dictators in Russia, the Philippines, Turkey, etc, and we've now got that in China, a nation with a small cadre of party leaders ruling over 1 billion people that have no real outlet to disagree, and which only gains more and more power, you really can't blame them. And if you're being honest with yourself, you can't really act like those systems are really the same thing.

The Chinese government is effectively the one described in 1984. If we're not that far gone in the West, it's because we allow things like free media and the publication of stuff like 1984. You can't really say they are the same thing.

Sorry I didn't articulate my issue with Dart. The issue was not that I don't want to learn something that isn't javascript. The issue is that I don't want to learn a programming language who's only backer is Google. If dart had adoption outside of Google then I would have more incentive to learn it. So far it only looks like its used for internal google projects.

They bought only Nokia's mobile phone division and license for the Nokia brand for a few years. Nokia Research, Nokia Networks, the brand and the patents are still owned by Nokia.

After MS sold what remains of the Nokia phone manufacturing (including feature phone capacity that sells 70 million phones a year) to Foxconn, Foxconn and Nokia made HMD Global happen. Nokia provides brand for 10 years, patents and research, Foxconn finances the operation and builds the phones.

You're probably right about marking them spam. Often I'm just trying to be quick so I unsubscribe, check this "never signed up" option if it exists, and carry on.

It would be fun to toy with them, but really I just wonder how they think others will look favourably upon their business when they try to make a sale that way. Maybe not everybody feels the same way, but it just seems cheap. Then again, my cell provider just initiated texting me advertisements randomly so I guess if it can be done, it will be done...
> You don't need a treaty to enforce the law

The law itself does not even put itself into scope. You either need a treaty (Article 3, paragraph 3) or the data subject or processing is in the union.
The history of laws suggest that to rely on non-enforcement of a law is not wise. The GDPR is a good idea that has been written badly.
There are a lot of conversations happening about this. In short, right now the autonomous features available to consumers are considered level 2 so the driver is required to be alert and ready to take control at all times (similar to using cruise control).

I was one of the YC partners that decided to fund Slite. While I understand your concern, I can say from first hand experience, our decision didn't have anything to do with data.

We funded Slite because "another note app" might be a billion dollar company. "Another search engine" was Google, "another social network" was Facebook, and "another file storage service" was Dropbox.

Slite's plan is to charge users directly, similar to Slack. This has proven to be a great business model and means they won't need to resort to sneaky things like selling data.

to, for example, having to change the autopilot cruise control follow distance apparently you have to

- find and tap "vehicle settings"
- find the "autopilot" text label and tap it
- now find the "+" and "-" buttons and tap them to adjust

how many seconds are your eyes going to be away from the road while you do this? And if the sun is in the right place to make it hard to see, for how much longer will you be distracted while you do this?

When it's raining I usually adjust the speed of the windshield wipers very often depending on precipitation level and spray of the car in front of me, the last thing I want to do in a reduced visibility situation is to have to futz around with a touch tablet to do so: I want a rotating dial on the stalk so I can change things without having to look anywhere else. Apparently on the model-3 this setting is also part of the tablet interface.

I cannot believe that when you have tons of "distracted driving" laws to prevent people from texting while driving, manufacturers are allowed to produce cars where you more or less need to text to actually control the car.

I am all for technological advancement, but having a tablet-driven car makes as much sense as having a tablet as your desktop keyboard where you'd have to look down all the time to figure out where the keys are.
We do not tip. By law, a 10% is added to hotel and retaurant bills, which is then split among all employees. However, tips from tourists are common so go ahead and do it if the service was worth it.

Backpackers will miss cheap food and rooms found while touring our neighbours. A booming decade has increased purchasing power for most ecuadoreans, naturally, that's made everything more expensive to buy, in particular restaurants and hotels. For instance, I just booked Airbnb in Prague for less of what I paid (per nite) for a room in Puerto López (awesome beach town) during our past holiday. A couple of weeks ago on a road trip to Riobamba I paid $10 for a fritada (a local dish made of fried pork and sides) and a glass of fruit juice. I still remember paying $3-$4 for the same meal not many years ago!

Tickets for local flights are super expensive. Booking a flight from the capital Quito to any other city will cost from $150 to $300 round trip. On the bright side, we have good roads and plenty of bus routes.

As far as places to visit, thing to do, let me put it this way: the place is so diverse and so small, that on a week-long trip you can do a lot of stuff except snow skiing.

Mutual defense treaties have a poor track record in the face of heavily armed, aggressive regimes playing up real or imagined injustices while undermining political and military obstacles. If the alliance is weak, disaster can result.

Examples abound - Poland and France both had mutual defense treaties with various allies that failed when Germany invaded. In Japan's backyard, the Philippines lost territory in the South China Sea to China after it decided to cut ties with the U.S. military. As soon as the U.S. pulled away, the Chinese PLA moved right in. An international tribunal in The Hague ruled China's actions were completely illegal, but China has since strengthened its hold by building landing strips and military fortifications on the reefs and small islets.

The Japan/U.S. alliance is strong, but relationships and power profiles can change. Xi's not going anywhere, and he can play the long game when it comes to the Diaoyutai and other territorial claims.

I seriously hope you do the right thing and do NOT buy diesel.

It would be incredibly irresponsible now that the dangers of NoX are known.

FYI, I live in London and am seriously affected by NoX, I’ve had bronchitis several times in the past few years.

London exceeded annual NoX limits within just a few weeks of the new year.

Luckily the tide is turning, public opinion is increasingly growing against diesel, and the govt is finally enacting extra diesel fees and considering bans.

The biggest question is: why do you need indefinite amounts of IP addresses logged? You don't even need to ask yourself if it's compliant or not by just not doing it. The usefulness of ip addresses that old is very limited.
Teslas get OTA updates, so I'm pretty sure they're always connected. A big downside in my opinion
What will happen is that electricity prices will RISE, because these bloated utility companies need to maintain their revenues. This will hasten people to move to solar, etc, and then cause electricity usage to drop even further. It's a spiral downwards, and they don't have the means to disrupt themselves.
I don't think you can argue that any of those rulers weakened their societies--unless you completely disregard historical fact.

I was just questioning the dogma that having leaders in power for multiple terms is automatically bad. I'm open to the possibility that Xi is a bad leader--I'm no expert on China--but it seems that China today is a better place than when he came in to power. I guess people don't agree with me here.

Ah thanks, sorry - I don't use either of those, but notifications work just fine for me with Slack, Hangouts, normal messages and all. You can customise notifications and where they may appear on a per application basis.

Mine's on Android 7.0. Samsung aren't too keen on pushing out updates in Australia in a rush; the telcos (Telstra) take their own sweet time too. That's where Apple has them soundly beat. Although, having said that, given last year's update history, perhaps Samsung's model is better after all - I rarely get breaking changes pushed down.

Sounds like you have a legitimate interest in logging IP addresses for security purposes, it is an effective measure and that your legitimate interest on balance outweighs the interests of the data subject. If that is the case you could probably rely on the “legal basis” called legitimate interest and do not need consent or anything like that.

Assuming you are right, that answers part of my question. Yet, I would prefer to see this detailed by an official source.

The other part of my question still remains unanswered. The GDPR limits who qualifies as providing goods/services, but I don't see any limitation on who qualifies under "the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union."

It seems like this create a legal liability for every single website with an access log unless it displays a privacy policy.
How is 3 years old "way before any sedentary lifestyle"? I consider my family moderately active, but my 3 year old is certainly familiar with the couch. In more agrarian societies, there are probably a lot fewer opportunities to sit somewhere comfortably.

In principle, yes. The intention behind and the principles outlined by the GDPR are good.

However, the devil's in the details, specifically in how these principles are supposed to be implemented. Some of these details are not quite clear yet. It's almost impossible to navigate these issues without getting at least some basic legal advice and investing a fair bit of time.

Unfortunately, as often is the case with EU regulations these seem to be targeted mainly at larger companies or corporations, which can easily afford this because they have legal departments anyway.

As a company that uses third-party services for data processing (which includes almost every piece of SaaS-type software) you have to sign a data processing agreement with each of those, which can mean considerable effort.

Some suppliers unfortunately are not as well-prepared yet as they should be.

Therefore now a company's processes continuing to run smoothly might depend on some third party getting their internal affairs in order. It's true they should've done this long before and one shouldn't continue to work with them if they fail to do so. Still, it's a problem you have to deal with.

I agree that GDPR makes sense and it's a good idea to follow through with these measures. It won't be easy in each and every case though and it might be a bumpy ride at first, which is why I sincerely hope that in the beginning authorities will be lenient with parties that act in good faith.
Yep. It is worse that it can be a EU resident (non-citizen) visiting the the USA using a USA only service and the law as currently written still applies. Good luck.

The next fun job is working out how to remove the data from all your backups when you get a removal request.

I have taken the approach that I will comply with the general intent of the GDPR (which I did long before it existed), but not try to apply the ridiculous parts.
