I've been using Elm on and off for projects for the last couple of years. I find that most of the complaints are just discomfort at how Elm isn't developed the way that many other projects are. It gets in people's heads that they have to trust in Evan's judgment when they don't see a new release popping out every quarter.

I actually like the pace of releases and lack of frequent breaking changes. I'll put some projects aside for 6 months here and there, then come back to them when I have time. Most rapidly-evolving frameworks require you to update all your libraries and fix a ton of breaking changes when you don't touch them for a few months (I'm looking at you, Swift). After I spend all that maintenance time, I often wonder at the value of those changes in the first place. Were they really changes that buy me new flexibility with the language? Or were things just renamed and shuffled around with syntax changes made for no great reason?

When talking to people about using Elm, I discourage them from using it if they're the kind to obsess over the release cycle of a framework that's stable today and that allows them to get quality work done.
The problem, I think, is that you are phrasing it such that the intrinsic differences are assumed.

Could there be intrinsic differences? I don't know anything that precludes them. The evidence seems fairly strong otherwise, though. Lots of it. More, most of the people rhetorically asking about the differences, do so in a way that is clearly not in good faith.

Now, I am a little worried about the damage for people looking in good faith. But, by and large, the evidence doesn't appear to support this actually being a problem. Most of the complaints about not being "very popular" with these sorts of views are fairly weak when put into perspective of actual persecution.

Edit: Forgot to explicitly answer. I meant today. I have seen a lot of search for intrinsic differences. I'll try and pay more attention for a bit. I realize confirmation bias can easily paint what I see.

Totally agree that bulk of the copywrite laws are unreasonable and unfit for the digital age. However, for me more interesting question is why they even went into the German court. In theory Germany could issue international warrant, but I doubt if they do it for minor cases, think of e.g. Snowden, Assange and Polanski cases. So at most they could have ordered blockage of the site/IP in their side, as long as book-specific ban is probably technically not doable. Also they may blacklist the offending persons from entering Germany/EU. Maybe US lawyers just saw big case with revenue and gave 'good' advice to go to the fight?

So if someone sues me due to this post, then good luck with that, unless you figure out where I am.

The NHTSA Says Electric Vehicles Can No Longer Stay Silent at Low Speeds
I don't understand this criticism. The thing of substance which exists is this announcement. The announcement has funding and script information regarding the film, which makes it sound like the film has a decent likelihood of making it into theatres.

HN often has threads on new product announcements, or discussions on future features on major products which don't yet exist. I don't see why movies should be any different.

No, that’s not the effect. If you make a website in the US hosted on US servers that does not obviously target german customers then you don’t fall under german jurisdiction. It’s not sufficient that your site is generally accessible from germany.

However, if you do add things as “we ship to germany” to a shop then you fall under german jurisdiction - which is fine in my books, because the customer should have a simpler legal recourse than the company.

Having to conform to foreign laws is just the flip side of being able to reach those people easily.
Ah that's a better explanation

Let's think of something different: I print one of those books and send it to Germany. I assume the person receiving the book could be subject to prosecution. But if the company that did that is also present in Germany (offers services in Germany) then I suspect they would be held responsible as well.
"The legal guidance PGLAF received is that US law requires that such proceedings would have taken place in the US"

Cute. Who cares about what US law may require?

While this is absolutely true in this case, one should not ignore the fact that an interceptor can be just as big a missile as an ICBM and they can even have nuclear warheads to blow up incoming missiles. There are of course really important differences, but those things are powerful weapons on their own and one should not think of a missile defense site as a harmless thing firing little rockets towards incoming reentry vehicles.

>Pay Court costs, assessed at 50% of total costs. This is estimated to be at least 50,000 Euros, but is not yet assessed.

which seems false. The court set the amount involved in this case to 100k€, which would incurr about 3k€ in court costs and around 5k€ for each sides lawyers.

50k€ of costs would only occur if they would fight this through to the surpreme court. They don't seem to want this though.

Regarding the punitive damages: You are correct, the court awarded them damages, no punitive damages, no fines.

Disagree.

That's pretty much the definition of equal chance.

> But there could still be rocks in one of the lanes and not in the others.

Could. Maybe. But, staying in the metaphor: it's both exceedingly rare for there to be rocks in one lane and not another, and exceedingly obvious if it is the case.

And nobody assumes that there are rocks because there are clear winners and losers in races. Everybody assumes that the person who won was fastest.

But for some bizarre reason in other fields, we not just assume that there being winners means there must be rocks, we absolutely insist that that is the only possible explanation and vilify people who say "well, maybe the person who won was fastest?"
The author never stated 1600/city/hour. That is an inference you are making.
There is kind of a Gresham'a Law with these buzzwords, where if you actually have new and interesting ideas around them, it's much harder to get people to take you seriously.
The distinction stems partly from the US-EU divide. US use the term personally identifiable information (PII). This has a narrow definition and relates to that which connects your real identify. However, 'PII' is not a concept under EU data protection law which instead uses the far broader term of personal data.

Personal data is both PII and any information which could be used to identify someone when combined with other information. As you suggest, a username is likely to be personal data because in lots of cases it is used as a unique ID and is used by the same person across multiple sites to identify them.

Then Germany as an entity can deal with the results of their society being structured in a way that allows those special interests to have that level of control. America has the same problems as well but it's be unreasonable to expect people in other sovereignties to make special accommodations for me just because my government is making me follow a different set of rules
Vodafone/Kabel Deutschland doesn't seem to be blocked either. (I tried a couple from the 18 that are supposed to be blocked.)
Seems to me it's the people that have kids that generally free ride on society, not the other way around (not that there's anything wrong with that). Also, it's incredibly authoritative to expect people who are capable to have kids. Romania tried that in the 70s and 80s with Ceauseascu banning all contraception. Well the people gave him the only Christmas gift a person who bans contraceptives ever deserves: execution. That was the greatest Christmas in Romanian history.
I agree, but find it unlikely that a change will happen top-down either, as the politicians and corporations are even more corrupted than individuals.

I ride a bicycle too and don't own a car. I buy stuff second hand etc.

By first coming to grips with the fact that this isn't your data...

The trouble is that you haven't adopted any objective or actionable position here. It's easy to pass the buck with more questions. What small organisations need is simple, verifiable answers. The absence of such answers from authoritative sources is possibly the single greatest criticism being made of the GDPR.

Why do you say something is not necessarily true when I have already given this exact reason?

You said it was good advice to mask off the bottom bits of the IP address. 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. Either way, it's unclear what benefit derives from masking part of it.

No, it requires keeping the two or three requests for data or erasure posted to you, or emailed to you.

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

It's funny that you chose the ostracized example as I was bullied myself in high school. This did not prevent me for succeeding way more than any of them at university, nor make me hate a very general and large group of people. The dice were piped way before by the both the cultural capital of my parents and by the genetics lottery. If you want a total outcome of equality and behavior of people, you need bio-engineering to lower differences from the start. Maybe even clones, so you are sure people are 100% equal at the starting line. This is of course not the society I want.

And if you put the reasoning even further, you need to actually suppress sexes as well. They are at the source of the problem after all. And this is technically feasible with assisted reproductive technics. Of course, the unneeded sex is the male one, you just keep one or two at hand. Then it will be 100% female everywhere at every jobs, isn't that wonderful? But again, not the future I want.

But then, not every job is equal, right? Why a doctor earn more than a nurse? Why does some work 70+ hours and other 35? It's inequal and injust. But as all these jobs are needed but different to keep the system running, the only solution is to suppress jobs altogether. Then we back at a pre-pre-historic stage. And then maybe we will live in the bliss of the True Equality Attained (albeit without Internet to congratulate ourselves).

Back to reality. Your comment also shows how you put the blame on "society". You can pass laws and regulations to influence the society, but reengineering it totally from the micro-level of individuals is not realistic at all. However, it was tested for 4 decades in USSR and China and the results are telling.

I also suspect the US supported Neo-NAZIs in the Ukraine. Both Congress and the Obama Administration approved this, but only when Trump got elected and hurt the feelings of women, LGBT and various minorities did Americans get angry:

The problems in mass shootings is a problem, but no one ever wants to ban military weapons from the US military and its PMCs that have killed lots of innocent people in the name of "liberation". Russia has a GDP similar to Mexico, yet the US spends $1 trillion to build the F-35 and Americans cheer because somehow China & Russia will gang up and takeover the world. Plus, you have the Phds and graduates who think we need to fight wars to maintain our standard of living. As if Saddam

One of the things people overlooked, was Osama was getting to be a pain on the Taliban factions. They were willing to give up Osama if the Bush administration could provide evidence.

I know it's hard to believe, but look at the 9/11 hijackers: They were mostly Saudi and planned the attacks in Germany and Florida, and had financial connections to factions within the Saudi royal government: https://28pages.org/2016/07/20/selected-revelations-from-the...

The US has given weapons to Mexican gangs: https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/26360-congr...

And during the Clinton years, Mexico received a bailout... because most of the debt belonged to US politically connected big banks like Citigroup & others. Canada is now going to buy the F-35, so that would explain why the US doesn't really have problems with its neighbors: as long as they give US banks and military contractors money, the US won't interfere with them.

However, when a South American country decides to buy other than US-debt & weapons, it forments revolutions and installs dictators: https://www.telesurtv.net/english/analysis/10-of-the-Most-Le...

It's not particularly harmful in terms of heredity (roughly the same "danger" as a woman having a kid at 40 in societies where it is not common).

Interesting factoid: Freud was married to his first cousin.

It's partly because of misunderstood heredity dangers, but mostly because of increased social pools. (Cousins used to be very socialized with each other, but strangers of opposite sex had minimal opportunities for meaningful interactions.)

There's actually quite a few illness that can and often does have origins as 'secondary gain'[0].

It's quite insane that there isn't more done to address root cause. With diabetes-2 I think NHS fails at the point when they don't address people who are at risk.

I’m really for open access to old books, but for playing devils advocate I can see the courts point:
International websites have to respect local laws. After all those are the only ones I can directly influence (by voting, etc.)
If we’d start to ignore this (even if it is in my advantage in this case), this means I have no influence any more on how companies are allowed to interact with me (which shouldn’t be the case in a democratic state)

It’s a hard decision as the internet is global and I don’t have a real solution, but I don’t think taking US (or any other) law as „the valid law on the Internet“ is helpful.

> it's be unreasonable to expect people in other sovereignties to make special accommodations for me

Nobody is expecting PG to do anything like that, what is expected is that PG just removes these 18 books from German access, if they don't then the German publisher can cease&desist them over giving access to said books, which would have no effect at all on GP due to it being an entity that's registered in California, so German c&d letters have literally no effect on them.

GP is taking a stance here, which I very much appreciate as a German, but quite a few people here seem to be misunderstanding what's actually happening here or expected from GP.

> Moreover, if compliance with the law is so onerous that small organisations can't reasonably be expected to do it anyway, that's a pretty clear case that the law is too strong.

The text on the GDPR is actually super reasonable. The whole thing is pretty short for how big people say it is, every article is sub 1-page, and essentially everything comes with "within reason" asterisks of various kinds (deadline extensions, "appropriate for context", "doesn't apply if request is unreasonable", etc).

So no, small organizations can absolutely be expected to follow it.

What's happening is some americans here are simply having culture shock. In Europe, the concept that consumers have strong protections and that businesses have responsibilities is neither new nor uncommon.

> Isn't that also being a smartass with the law?

Not really no. Some provisions of the GDPR are continuous, but most of them are what consumers can request of you (their data, deletion/update of their data, etc). Most of the things people freak out about is stuff that doesn't have to be handled until you get your first request.

If you are a one-man shop, aren't handling a lot of personally-identifiable information and in general don't have a big site, you won't have a problem following it. None of GDPR requires that you build automated systems for everything, as other commenters have pointed out.

All this is just restoring some sanity in a world where far too many businesses don't give a crap about their customers.
