Do you do business in Europe? If you only have a handful of European customers, what exactly can happen if you get a letter from the French privacy regulator? Toss is in the bin and move on with your life. Maybe delete the complainants account if you want.

The major costs with GDPR for a small player are things

* understanding the law (far from trivial, particularly given how the various privacy regulators can't be arsed to produce final guidance even to date). Consent is moderately straightforward, but eg legitimate interest balancing tests aren't.

* figuring out every database and table that has user data stored in it

* figuring out 3rd party systems with such data (your transactional mailer, marketing mailer, billing, logging, etc)

* were your marketing consents gdpr-compliant (pro-tip: they weren't). What consent is every marketing contact tied to? Why do we have to reconsent everyone when there is already a working 1-click opt-out link in every marketing email?
I was excited when I first heard about Server Timing, until I realised it was limited to a single duration value. Being able to model an actual timeline would make it significantly more useful.

I always had a question I wanted to ask an experienced Django dev. After trying this framework for a couple of hobby projects (I'm a client game developer primarily and never worked on "serious" web project), I kinda got the impression that it's architecture is created for two main user roles: admins who create most of the content and have marvelous admin forms in front of them to input all the data, and users, who mostly consume the content and only occasionally input some data. When I tried to create complex input forms with a lot of complicated, relational data that users would be able to input and modify, it felt so much harder than exposing the data models in the admin panel — it really felt that this wasn't the use case this framework was designed for.

Did I get the right impression, or may be I just didn't learn to use Django correctly?
Many Brits are in the same situation and hold the same opinion, because they've never experienced anything else. Having personally experienced the US and UK systems, I assure you that's because you simply can't conceive how bad it is in the US!
A thing I've noticed about cryptocurrency news. The people that are pro cryptocurrency are often far too optimistic and sometimes are not the most academic people. However I've also noticed that those that constantly critique cryptocurrency are often so wrong about their assumptions it's just pointless reading on. It's so hard to actually get a reasonable discussion about cryptocurrency.

It might be because of the intersection of different disciplines. For example, a math genius won't necessarily understand law, politics and/or economic policy.

The others probably won't understand math.

A marketing / CEO type might understand the business angle.

Don't even get me started with 'journalists' who have to report on any of these areas. It's hard.

There's some sort of Peter Principle effect where people from the various fields present themselves (perhaps sometimes accidentally) as experts in the other areas. Sorry, but knowing advanced cryptographic algorithms doesn't give you the authority such that I'm going to believe your predictions about law or politics. If you're an MBA/marketing type, hearing you talk about asymmetric encryption sometimes leads me to cringe.

Meanwhile, the people who actually COMMENT on cryptocurrency news are the worst. They range from "there's nobody home in the head" types that type in all-caps comments that look more like wishes about 'the moon', or perhaps some attack against the FED and money-printing that they repeat; to baby boomers who scream about tulips and that you can't touch the digital assets.

It's a disaster of information overload. The best you can do is observe, place your bets (if you're the betting type) and watch passively.
For me, I wouldn't say that it takes a backseat, so much as that everything takes a backseat due to the immediacy of the needs of young children.

I think one of the important things you can do to build a lasting marriage is to make sure you put your spouse ahead of your children on a regular basis, even just in small ways. You have to maintain the intimacy in your relationship even when it's not easy to do so. There's nothing wrong with locking the bedroom door once in a while.

You are seeing it the wrong way.

Governments want to implement this regardless. And there are ruthless, well-connected individuals ready to supply "solutions".

Even if those are not 100% secure (nothing is, of course), having open source turn-key solutions running on top of standard hardware would put a floor to the kind of kludges those individuals would be able to pass.
That question shows how far away you are from understanding it.

There is in fact - no other way.

It would prove much harder than you think. It's like describing a color to someone without using the name of the color or pointing to it. Or since you presumably don't have children, it's like trying to describe a color that doesn't exist.

Don't believe the whole dog/cat comparison. That's totally broken.
> Societies are societies because they put the good of the group above the good of the individual.

Doesn't necessarily make a society good (aka righteous).
My wife works at the extreme end of the foster system: special needs kids with trauma. For the most part, kids are kids. You have a non-trivial chance of a special needs kid if you make it or adopt it. The bio-parents are generally the problem, which iswhymanyadoptive parents refuse all contact with them and move to a different city, oradopt from a different city.
On a semi-serious note, you might want to start playing didgeridoo, and have a look at the recent Ig Nobels. There has been some ongoing (very serious) research on treating sleep apnea that way.

So, the class was actually structured so that you had to perform ~40 hours of lab work. By using your software I could read reddit and perform lab work by babysitting a compiler. So thank you for allowing me to use up all of that lab time :)
Is it their temperaments that lead them to success, or is it their willingness to never cave and always do what they feel is right?

I'm not a fan of confrontation, and in the past have allowed features to get added to my projects that I didn't think was right. I regret it. Had I been willing to have some uncomfortable conversations, the project would have been better.
That's a good point and it depends on where you fall on the nature vs nurture scale. But in terms of passing on knowledge and morality, I would think nurture would be vastly more important than nature. However, I admit I don't have the research to back that claim up.
For years I was passionate about not wanting children. I even got divorced because my ex-wife assumed I would change my mind after we got married.

Turns out wanting children is something I wanted. It just took meeting the right person to change my mind. My partner also was a never-breeder before we met.

Sometimes meeting the right person can change your outlook on life and future plans.

In cricket the same ball is used for 480 balls (depending of format). Initially the new hard ball is seen as an advantage to the fielding side as a bowler gets more bounce and deviation from the hard seam, but a batsman can also hit it further. There is also the phenomenon of swing (a bit like the curve ball in baseball) which is accentuated by the fielders polishing one side of the ball. As the ball ages and softens it's bounce becomes more true and therefore it favours the batting side. Often towards the end of its life the ball develops 'reverse-swing' where it curves the opposite way. They have to keep the 'rough side' of the ball completely dry to do this, so all fielders have to keep their hands dry. Penalties have been applied to players trying to alter the condition of the ball. Different brands of ball are polished differently and swing at different times. Some even have a lacquer which takes a while to come off and start swinging at all

why I think this is relevant

1) The aerodynamic effects of the kind polish applied dramatically affect performance

2) Since wear on the ball is critical to the long format games, the fans don't get to take one home and sell it on ebay, even if they catch a six (ball hit into the crowd) :(

The significant change in cricket hitting has been massively heavier bats, which used to be made of compressed willow to preserve their life (a whole season for a pro), but are now made of unpressed willow and considered disposable. The unpressed bats work much like corked baseball bats are supposed to, and have transformed the game. Slow-bowlers, like spin bowling where the bowler spins the ball to alter its flight and make it move when bouncing, have to be exceptional now or they get smashed into the car park!
Maybe, or maybe he'd be a ball of suppressed rage, get some stress-related disease and die.

I understand that the current trend is to suppress all your emotions, and then quietly read self-help books and seek therapy, but it's not at all obvious to me that venting does more bad than good.

To me, I get a kick out of reading Linus' rants, I find them highly amusing. I can understand that the few people they're directed towards, would feel mildly abused, to which I say welp, it's a small price to pay.

There needs to be an acceptance that dealing with other people is oftentimes frustrating, and that there need to be avenues to release that. Business people have booze, drugs, strippers and hookers. Linus is a good boy, he has offensive language and all caps.

I consider him a saint, compared to the alternatives someone a little more gregarious would've taken.

If you're behind HN, and I email you asking you to delete thousands of accounts, would you just do it or would you request me to prove ownership of those 1000 profiles?

Point being: You're not gonna delete anything until you have verified that the user is really who he is claiming to be.
I had some experience maintaining refugee computer labs in Kenya at Kakuma. I befriended some guys who liked Linux and hacking. I also just reached out to other Kenyan colleagues and had them send along the laptop. This was normal when I worked abroad. Not sure if person to person networking like that is encouraged, but I too tried bc I saw a person who needed the resources to match their ambition.

Ironically, that refugee eventually won a lottery visa to the US, but that's another story.
I was asked to run for office. So I became a politician. I always play to win. So I adopted the mannerisms, attire, speech patterns of other successful politicians.

I've seen many others attempt this transformation. Some are naturals. Some learn fast. Most fail (like me).

My point: The audience demands politicians play the role of politician. Over time, the person becomes the role (because how we talk changes how we think).

I don't think the person Linus could be successful playing the role of Linus Master of the Kernel without adopting that persona. So if he wasn't that way beforehand, he adapted.

I'm not excusing bad behavior.
Upvoted you. People here tend to be intolerant of any religious opinion.

Edit: I'm a believer and desperately don't want children. Dunno whether this is an inconsistency in my faith or just how I'm built. This whole thread is a little maddening to me because I wish people would stop making new people, but everyone seems so happy doing it :)
There's a fairly direct migration path from Elm to Haskell + reflex, though it's much less user friendly. You'll have no technical limitations tho.
Just, wow. I'm curious if there are mechanisms that could guard against growing strings of unevaluated thunks. Would be an interesting GC problem. One where you free up space by forcing a maximum depth of unevaluated space. (You'd obviously have to treat any "infinitely extra" computations versus the "do this on top of that" ones. But that shouldn't be undoable, should it?)
We wanted children but were putting it off, actually I was putting it off with the excuse that we had to get in a more stable financial situation. That was just an excuse, the reason was immaturity on my part. I wasn't ready yet.

Got a well-paying job, there were no longer any obstacles that could be used to rationalize, so with some apprehension we decided it was the right time to try. After a few months she was pregnant. Our son was born 6 years ago, I was 27 at the time. We also have a daughter now.

It hasn't been easy, we don't rely on family or outside help to raise them, mostly, and there are other things you simply can't predict. But such is life. No regrets, life is much richer than before. Children add a new dimension to life.

All the delays before we finally committed to having children seem so pointless in retrospect. We were just putting off moving on in life.
> since Linux is successful, it must be because of his toxic personality.

Who says this? Just because he is harsh, abrupt and straightforward doesn't necessarily mean he is toxic. And even if he was, nobody is forcing anyone to work with "toxic" linus. If you think Linus is toxic then don't use his kernel, don't use his software and don't read his rants.

Everything is toxic nowadays. Everyone cries about everything being toxic. If you don't praise every mediocrity or give a trophy to everyone who didn't win, you are toxic.

If only we had more "toxic" people like linus instead of people who whine about toxicity imagine what the world would be like.
You would not use legitimate interests to cover off your processing of data in connection with letting a user log in to your site, if it is a requirement of using the service that you are logged in, for example to authenticate who you are. The correct processing basis here would be to process data to provide a service, not under legitimate interests.

If you were processing someone's data to, for example, ensure the safety of your network/detect unauthorised login attempts, then that would likely fall under legitimate interests, because it is processing that is not necessary to provide the underlying service, but is in the users' interests to ensure the protection of their personal data.
Are there any women in this thread? As a male, would love to know more about the female perspective.

As someone who has recently been battling IBS after coming back from a trip it's become pretty clear to me that gut bacteria/micro fauna/whatever plays a significant role in our health that Western medicine is only just beginning to understand. I'd wager in another few decades we will see a whole bunch of new treatments based around an improved understanding of the gut.

It's unfortunate because I (anecdotally) see Doctors dismiss gut micro-fauna balance as quackery, especially since alternative medicine often points to it as a source of trouble (e.g. Candida overgrowth). Sadly it's common to see conventional doctors attack straw-men when discussing alternative medicine's view on the gut rather than acknowledging what we do/don't know. Not saying 'alternative' medicine is right but it's clear to me a healthy gut is critical to a healthy person. I crave more scientifically backed data - I've really begun to appreciate how impacted quality of life becomes when you're dealing with chronic digestive issues.

Adding fiber and probiotics to my diet has helped me tremendously. Shocker - eating green, healthy looking things instead of fast food poison makes me feel better too. After a fair bit of research this probiotic seemed like the best value with a solid strain list. Probably best to refrigerate as soon as possible though.

They fix jack shit. They bandage over a festering wound, but do not actually do anything about the wound itself. Because the wound is cultural, not technical.
Just hang out with people that have kids. Better yet bring the people with kids dinner or something, they will like the change of pace especially with young children. I will probably end up doing this myself, as I have significant anxiety and depression which made having kids a no-go.
Maybe not on Reddit, which has an average age and IQ lower than here (in my very strong opinion).

But on the Internet, which is really to say in written form, there's more room for attention span and dissection of arguments. In person, in conversation, you have attention span issues, you have failure to break down definitions and thus people arguing sideways against one another, etc.

It's harder to cheat in the written word.
I'm assuming there is a more idiomatic (nay, correct?) way of doing this in Haskell?

This is a complicated matter. I guess one important fact to remember is that the western mainstream media is never fair. They ignore horrible countries backed by CIA etc., as long as they are strategic allies of the west, and many articles that criticize China reek of hypocrisy and double standards. Therefore such media can hardly appear convincing. Shortly put, their "criticisms" always have some hidden agenda behind it, and are not really objective pieces. The western government and media couldn't care less about how the normal Chinese actually live. They only care about their own interests. That's the problem.

On the other hand, if you're somebody like Chomsky, i.e. also see your own government for what it is and criticize its problems, then your arguments can be as fair and unbiased as possible. That is to say, they do not inherently have double standards or want to actually advance the interests of western countries, while trying to restrict the rise of China. You actually think in terms of the Chinese populace.

Unfortunately, it has become very hard to tell these things apart, i.e. a normal American probably gets a lot of their information from the mainstream media that they read every day, after all. Therefore it's very hard for their criticism to not be tainted by the hidden agenda propagated by the media. That is a big problem.
a) The regulators had 2 years to write final regulations. They didn't do that either. Apparently it's too much to ask to have eg final guidance more than 3 months before the implementation deadline.

aa) In actuality, the ICO has made it clear that grace periods are not part of their regulation strategy. See eg speeches by senior regulators.

b) hahaha go spend a pile of cash on lawyers (we're at roughly $50k) who are familiar with 30-ish countries privacy regulators. American companies are quite unlikely to have a lead regulator.

d) proportionate and adequate are words that create giant legal bills, because the gdpr naturally declines to spell out in any concrete fashion what those mean.
Are there other projects with numerous corporate contributors, then, which were threatened or destroyed by poor patches? My perception is that Postgres has a large number of corporate contributors, but they don't seem to be hurting for it.

This justification (i.e., that Linux has to be this way, because it's in a unique position) sounds strange to me. If we're claiming that the relevant sample size is N=1, isn't that equivalent to saying that it's impossible to study whether this management style is necessary or not?

In fact, this argument seems almost backwards to me. Linux can be run this way because it is successful. Nvidia isn't trying to mess up NetBSD's architecture, precisely because NetBSD is not as popular with users.
After CryptoKitties, it's difficult to take Ethereum seriously.
Why would US bother? All the news about new Russian missiles were mostly for interior propaganda consumption anyway.
Maybe someone with a knowledge of nutrition and medicine can clear this up for me.

As I understand it, there are two types of fiber that are lumped into the term "dietary fiber": soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. I believe that both are fermented in the large intestine but soluble fiber is the one that primarily supports flora through fermentation, while insoluble fiber is used for more of a physical effect, to draw water into the stuff that's going through. Apparently soluble fiber also helps to increase the viscosity of the stuff going through the stomach, which slows digestion (considered to be a good thing).

One of the studies mentioned in the article uses inulin (soluble fiber -- the kind you'd find in a supplement like Benefiber). With regards to regulating sugar, metabolism, and gut flora I imagine that soluble fiber is the one we should be focusing on. Yet it seems rare to distinguish the two.

I know that both fibers are often found in the same food (typically fruits and vegetables) but some processes (like juicing) remove insoluble fiber while leaving the soluble fiber intact. So it's commonly believed that juice "doesn't have fiber", which is untrue.

Isn't it time we start distinguishing between the two when we talk about the health effects? Am I just completely wrong in how I understand this?

Maybe I'm oversimplifying but this seems like an obviously simple* problem to solve: as humans, before we can identify what objects are, we start out with depth perception and object detection. If NNs were trained on a dataset of imagery where autodetected object outlines were tagged, rather than simply tagging or describing an entire image, and then run with built in object detection and depth perception, I suspect the results would be pretty good.

I know the likes of Google and Facebook are already doing precisely this with human faces, but we'd need a more generalised object detection algorithm before the examples of sheep in the article would be reliably identified.

* I used the word "simple", as distinct from "easy": for example, creating a training dataset might be a challenge.
