"Verlag" just means "publishing company" in German.[1] There are probably many publishers in Germany that have that word in their name.

We never suggest that you turn security off -- several versions of APT come with various settings defaulted to off, as described in the article.

All of the attacks presented (replay attacks, freeze attacks, and downgrade attacks) affect GPG signed APT repositories.
It’s not frivolous, almost by definition, if you win a lawsuit. You can disagree with this court’s judgement on all sorts of issues, but Germany isn’t usually known to be a banana republic with corrupt and/or completely incompetent judges.
Yes, plain text APT repositories (signed with GPG or not) are vulnerable to freeze attacks.
You seem to be ignoring the fact that meats can be cured with plain old Sodium Chloride as mentioned in the article. Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong there, as I read the article but haven't any other knowledge on this topic.
That house is a small single storey building with only a ratio 33% internal floor space vs plot size.

Here is what $2m house looks like it good neighbourhood of Tokyo https://www.homes.co.jp/kodate/b-75250036569/ 2100 sqft (195.75m²) of internal floor space squeezed on to a plot that is only 960 sqft (89.26m²). That is 218% ratio.

Is that the typical building density in Silicon Valley? If so, then not surprising it is so expensive. In Tokyo that plot might get divided into 3 and three good size family homes built on it.

From the satellite view on Google Maps it would appear this building uses only a third of the land of its plot. So maybe plot is about 2550 sq ft.
Neat!

Anyone know of a similar tool for Python3/flask (or wsgi probably)?

Many drones available today, some of them costing less than USD $1000, could become the kind of flying weapon jra_samba worries about. I just don't think this is a very big concern.
Right out of the playbook. The parent comment attacks me, but not the content of the discussion, which would be valuable.

> With publishing content in Germany (or whatever country) over Internet (or otherwise) they have crossed physical and legal borders.

This really goes to the fundamental nature of the internet and digital technology. Is it "push" whereby a web site "sends" the content to the visitor (therefore assumes the burden of copyright infringement, because they initiate a transfer out of their country into the visitor's) or is it "pull" where a visitor effectively goes to a country, gets the content and returns home, and the visitor is doing the international transfer and thus inheriting the liability of that?

To my mind the "pull" model is more persuasive because the visitor is clearly the agent in control of the transfer. This judgement seems to go against it though, and say that as a web site operator, you are the one doing the international transfer of the information.

The pglaf document isn't the most accurate in general (eg. claiming that Germany has "life + 75" terms, while correctly calculating life + 70 right in the next sentence; or discussing that the 56 years rule will end in the US in 2034, since books published after 1978 are subject to life + 70 as well - I guess Gutenberg won't be able to publish a single new book between 2034 and 2048), so I guess the claims made were only about damages (even if pglaf might consider them "punitive") and fines.
APT will not reject it on replay if the 'Valid-Until' date has not been met yet.

Imagine a version of, say, libEXAMPLE has a vulnerability allowing remote code execution. The `Valid-Until` date is some time in the future, maybe a few days from now. The authors release a new version of libEXAMPLE to patch the vulnerability and the APT repository metadata is updated.

However, a malicious actor performing a MitM against your machine has saved the metadata with the vulnerable version. The malicious actor replays that metadata to your system, preventing your system from seeing the newly patched libEXAMPLE. This gives the attacker up until the `Valid-Until` date to attempt to launch an attack against you.
Happens in .de too.
The company that's suing them operates in the US, so it would be subject to US law. From the article:

"Q: Why did this all take place in the German Court system, rather than the US - where Plaintiff does business as Macmillan, and PGLAF is based?

A: The legal guidance PGLAF received is that US law requires that such proceedings would have taken place in the US, and in fact any attempts at enforcement of the judgement would need to occur in the US Court system. PGLAF already informed Plaintiff and the German Court that the US Court system is the appropriate venue for Plaintiff's concerns. Plaintiff declined."

And, as noted in the article, the German courts would also be bound by international copyright treaties to which Germany is a party.
I've heard that argument, but recently I've started to disagree with it. I can only speak to my limited experience, but my three prior gigs have all wanted some amount of "passion", but never once was I expected to work 50/60+ hour weeks as a result. There was crunch time once where we came in on a Sunday and the company paid for lunch and dinner, but that was it.

Anyway, now when I see that companies want "passionate" people, I interpret it to mean "convince us you're enthusiastic enough during the interview". It's all a game of how much you can bullshit. I like to believe that most managers, and especially most developers, realize that most code isn't "sexy", because most software isn't "sexy" and most developers are working on most software.

Caveat: I work in the Midwest. Maybe things are different in Silicon Valley, where every startup seems to fancy itself as changing the world.
The same occurred to me, Evan is brilliant, but elm having one developer only is a risk

What value of numbers would change your mind about the trade-off between sleep quality and risk of sudden death? SIDS incidence is extremely rare, s you check by counting how many babies you've known and how many died.
Something that made it to HN recently was this paper.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2672390/

> Analysis of the mid-Victorian period in the U.K. reveals that life expectancy at age 5 was as good or better than exists today, and the incidence of degenerative disease was 10% of ours. Their levels of physical activity and hence calorific intakes were approximately twice ours. They had relatively little access to alcohol and tobacco; and due to their correspondingly high intake of fruits, whole grains, oily fish and vegetables, they consumed levels of micro- and phytonutrients at approximately ten times the levels considered normal today.

That infant mortality was sky-high prior to the 20th century is pretty well known - I can't think of a good, detailed source for that off the top of my head. But what I can tell you, on the subject of longevity in general, is to do the following:

- Look back through the genealogical record, for you personally. "People old enough to have kids" is a good sort-of proxy for life expectancy minus infant mortality. I personally found that my ancestors regularly lived into their 70s and 80s. Very few of my ancestors died younger than 70, going back to the 1600s.

- Another good example is to look at history. Pick up Livy, for example, or someone along those lines, and see how often someone dies of non-violent causes before they've entered old age. It's pretty uncommon. When it did happen, it was usually because of a horrific plague that killed people left and right.

Basically, historically, people generally (we're talking about a huge expanse of time and different cultures here) lived pretty healthy lives. They were much more active than we were, ate fewer processed foods, and often ate very healthy foods. People didn't smoke and didn't eat much sugar. There also wasn't a lot of industry spewing carcinogens and endocrine distributors everywhere. If you lived in a peaceful area and time, in relatively sanitary condition, your odds were very good that you'd live long into old age. Even if you lived in a nasty city (and I'd call Victorian England pretty nasty) your odds weren't bad. Where things fell apart was in war and plague. And as discussed in the paper above, when people did die in old age, they tended to pretty quickly of infection-related causes.

Life expectancy has probably risen and fallen over time, depending on different historical and cultural factors. The popular model of "it's just been getting better and better over time" is not at all correct - it's no coincidence most charts begin in ~1900. The Victorian England paper is a good basis for reflection because it's clear that the medical technology of that time was not dramatically different than that available a few hundred years or even two thousand years earlier, and neither was their diet or lifestyle extraordinary, even if it was good.
Same. I couldn't handle all the blood and people dying left and right every day.

This is great if you have easy access to a lot of retailers, but this is not always the case. A lot of these stores that price match are in suburbs, whereas I am in the car in the city, and it just doesn't really work for me to try and make the investment to go out there.
The poster was asserting that market forces don’t determine remuneration according to their satisfaction, and that instead people should be remunerated according to what the poster thinks they deserve. How is criticising this as communism not valid?

That's true. But that's mostly about different userbases. HN is actually not all that censored. It's largely community moderated. Very little gets completely deleted, just downvoted and flagged to oblivion.

Disruptive users do get shadow-banned, but it's trivial to create new ones. With accumulating karma, there is some pressure to self-censor. But overall, I like it better than StackExchange or reddit, for example.

Talk of depression and other mental health issues always seem to bring out the crackpots on HN - "meditation and lifting weights will cure <disease>".

Just for posterity, since even after 1 day I'm 50% LOLing at this and 50% still mildly annoyed: because you accused me in another subthread of being equivalent to those that would send their political enemies to the Gulag, when the sum total of what I do is click the Flag button on an HN article. Perhaps sometimes (e.g., now) I might also make a post criticising people with whom I disagree.

The consequences of my doing this are so mild, I just don't accept that this is worthy of serious condemnation. If you want to think the worse of me for doing it, be my guest - but nobody's going to get packed off to the Gulag, nobody's going to get sacked, nobody's going to get sent to Coventry. In fact, even once flagged, the discussion is still there. It's just not on the front page any more. Even once flagged, there are numerous other venues where this discussion could continue! And indeed, part of the reason I click Flag is to encourage this discussion to take place in those other venues rather than here.

Meanwhile, you advocate real-life consequences with material repercussions for those whose ideology you oppose.
Fabulous :S The second time in 6 months German courts violated the public interest and ruled in favour of vested corporate intrests with an affect on me:

* In late 2017, a useless commercial weather forecast outlet (aggregating its data itself from national institutations!) sued the German National Weather service into having to take down its free weather app from the Apple and Goole app stores (development and operations funded with tax payer money!) and charge a fee for it. Somehow the judges got convinced that the Service unduly competed with a third-rate commercial information service.

* In early 2018, the courts lock out the public from a vast aggregate of literature in the public domain.

I'm sure I'll have a fresh item to continue the list soon.
Verlag means "publisher", it's not part of a name.

(There are two publishers going by "Springer" though, you were referring to J. Springer, not A. Springer)

Fire OS would fail the CTS because Amazon chooses not to use Google Play Services and instead use their replacements. I'm also confused as to your claims about illegality. What specifically would be illegal about Google asking Amazon to install their apps and services on their tablets so that they can pass the CTS?

One more thing, when Amazon found out people were installing Google Play Services on their Fire Tablets they issued a software update to prevent that loophole.
> The trouble is that you haven't adopted any objective or actionable position here.

What, that you don't own someone else's personal data?

If someone signs up for your service, you do not own their email address and cannot use it in a way they wouldn't want.

What part of that is unclear?

> You said it was good advice to mask off the bottom bits of the IP address

If it wasn't needed.

You keep dropping this, so maybe it's because you didn't read it when I wrote it or when you wrote it.

> I don't think that is good advice in general, for the reason I gave: either the full address has a legitimate use for identifying specific threats, or it probably isn't specific enough to constitute controlled personal data in the first place.

Well, you're wrong. The ICO has recommended it in general for exactly this reason:

https://ico.org.uk/media/1061/anonymisation-code.pdf

But again, the GDPR allows for an exception if the data is being used to eliminate fraud:

https://www.privacy-regulation.eu/en/r47.htm

> What small organisations need is simple, verifiable answers

Which is convenient that the ICO is offering simple, verifiable answers: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/business/

> The absence of such answers from authoritative sources is possibly the single greatest criticism being made of the GDPR.

Possibly, but also possibly not. So what?

It's still law.

> I can't see how your reply fits with anything I wrote. What point were you trying to make here?

I said: "You should be able to delete usernames, passwords and email addresses on request. You should be able to remember that request if you restore from backups."

You said I can't do that without storing a hash of every user name or email address that has had deletion requested, and querying a database of such hashes during the restoration process which is bonkers: How many complaints and requests for deletion are you going to get? You might get two or three. Ever. How often do you restore backups? Monthly? Yearly? How hard is it to search two or three requests whenever you do a database restoration if you do something a dozen times a year?

If you're a bigger company you might do it more frequently, but then it's clearly no longer onerous.

Profit-driven and hatred-based are almost opposite things.
To be profit driven is to be supremely rational, and only requires looking out for oneself. To be hatred-based is to be supremely emotional, and hatred is rarely selfish.

I also object to the sentence "the people are cowards and cannot face up to the facts of their own complicity in the death cult". That is hyperbole and grand-standing all around.

Yet, I am sad to disagree with you. Because it is definitely an interesting question why we spend so much on military. Specifically, it is interesting how this relates to industries that benefit from this spending. Though it is also quite relevant to study popular sentiment towards this spending. However, I do not think one should go to conspiracy level explanations here. If one were to go there, it would take heaps and heaps of evidence.

To convince me, and perhaps the rest of the world, start by making smaller claims that are easily proven. Then you can build up to stronger claims that aren't proven but are at least corroborated by evidence.

Or you might just be an astroturfing russian-payed troll to make us distrust government, but I'd like to think otherwise.
> In early 2018, the courts lock out the public from a vast aggregate of literature in the public domain.

The court decided that 18 titles should not be available. Locking you out completely was project Gutenberg’s decision.

I don’t support either court decision, but let’s still keep the facts straight.
My grandpa married his second cousin, it was already frowned upon in 1935 but not unheard of. One improvement factor was transportation - the bicycle was invented not much before, and it was expensive. But a bike or a train ticket allowed you to know people beyond the rural village you lived. It's been even said that the inventor of the bicycle was the 2nd greatest feminist, because he improved the availability of suitable grooms, nobody needed to marry the violent moron next plantation anymore.

The server timing metrics here are actually extracted from an APM tracing tool (Scout).

Tracing services generally do not give immediate feedback on the timing breakdown of a web request. At worst, the metrics are heavily aggregated. At best, you'll need to wait a couple of minutes for a trace.

The Server Timing API (which is how this works) give immediate performance information, shortening the feedback loop and allowing you to do a quick gut-check on a slow request before jumping to your tracing tool.

Practical guide to developers - build your product in the US then expand to Indo-Pacific. Don't bother with rolling out to Europe. AI is the future of business & healthcare, which, due to inherent need for data, is incompatible with anti-data sharing laws such as GDPR. Population is rapidly aging in Europe (47.1 year old average in Germany, 42.9 in EU), so might as well set your business up for the long term by pivoting to the region where growth will take place (and where general population is more acceptive of emerging technologies that rely on easy access to data).

Up until now it was a no-brainer to identify with project Gutenberg, so the volunteers might have exposed themselves already. It probably still is, since the project complied with the court order. It’s mentioned in the plaintiffs argument which at least raises the possibility. So they might or might not be identifiable, but that question only matters for enforcement, not for the question of jurisdiction.
