Speed readers usually say the same thing, you might be able to read and parse the text faster but your brain still needs the same time to process and assimilate the content, so you'll instead only end up with a buffer overflow of parsed but unprocessed text.
> If you were a slave, you probably ended up somewhat better off

Slavery continued to exist in Western Europe after the fall of Roman empire until at least year 1000 AD.

In other former parts of Roman Empire such as Northern Africa slavery continued to flourish almost until the 19th century.

The ad in question was of course totally tasteless and tone-deaf, but I'm curious as to whether Snap is uniquely susceptible to price fluctuations based on the comments of social media influencers for some reason.
Ruthless prioritization (product management)
I think we’re talking about two different ideas. It seems like you’re talking about a publishing problem, not a problem with books qua books. That said, I haven’t ran into this other problem either. If I thought an author was padding a book just to make a page threshold, I’d never read that author again.
GDPR puts the burden on the company to comply if it processes any in-scope personal data, regardless of whether it's possible for the data subjects themselves to minimize that data.

I'm a lawyer but not your lawyer and I have no idea about specific YC or HN details, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think the best argument for why HN is exempt or at very low risk for enforcement is that it does not hold itself out into the EU market for business and is not otherwise subject to EU law(as far as I know, and I have no special knowledge). Users may be from the EU, but HN has no particular nexus to EU law that I'm aware of.

This is important because Article 2 of GDPR ("Material scope") expressly says "This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data ... in the course of an activity which falls outside the scope of Union law"
This is nonsense. Unless Google opens thousands of "walk-in-distribution centers" close to consumers, or 100% of commerce moves online, then there will still be demand for what Walmart sells.

Walmart sells essentials like food, clothes, and medicine. In what world does a consumer need an Android, or the internet, but not food.
When the Ottomans sacked Constantinople, didn't the intellectuals just move back to Rome and start the Renaissance?

Intellectually I'd say that history is pretty continuous. The greatest loss was not the "fall" of Rome, but the destruction of Mayan history during the Spanish conquest (they had developed writing separately - along with the Chinese, Phoenicians, and Arabs).
The biggest problem is that we really don't know all that much about how it would affect people. Data from Chernobyl if anything demonstrates that our estimates have continuously overestimated the danger, and have continued doing so as the estimates of harm from Chernobyl has kept being adjusted downwards.

But that's complicated by the lack of extensive screening of the few people who remained in the exclusion zone, and unusual shift patterns for chose who continued to work at the Chernobyl reactors after the accident (the other reactors continued to operate for years).

Everything is indicating it's not as dangerous as we used to think, but we don't really know what that means precisely in terms of larger scale more sustained exposure.

If you have taken GDPR into account from the start, the costs are trivial, it only means you will organize data differently so this "startup worrying" thing is a nonsense. Those worries are trying to do PR from companies/developers that are used to capture as much as possible from customers (potentially also sell those data) and are basing their bussiness model on that.

The real cost comes in "old" companies. Those should complain, but those are also responsible for need for GDPR.
Sorry, can you clarify what you mean? I don't understand what you mean by "cost me less"?

Pretty sure its all data from Android phones, why do you think it would be something else?
No, I don't, because the point is that my applying principles that are good to follow anyway, you reduce your exposure to a point where you don't really need to worry about what needs to be done to comply. At the same time you're improving security etc. as well (including internal security; e.g. I've deployed approaches like that at clients whose original intent was to prevent employees from accessing data they shouldn't, and where simplifying following data protection regulation was simply gravy)
I guess she likes money and success literature earns more then privacy literature.

If there would be someone in Facebook leadership that writes about privacy and political implications for it, it would absolutely make sense to single out that person. Success literature is irrelevant to topic.

But, I think she was single out, because she is only name besides Zuckenberg the parent knows. Never underestimate ignorance on discussion forum.
Re point one: There’s little incentive to accommodate someone who doesn’t finish an assigned task, even when that person comes up with something amazing, creative, and innovative that is way more valuable. The result is a job evaluation of “Doesn't follow directions.”

Re point two: In my experience, the vast majority of people don’t read the things they’re assigned or supposed to read, they just skim them. So the issue isn’t reading a book, it’s writing one.

That's what happens if all your business does is sending pictures around. What's the intrinsic value of it?

Of course people will uninstall the app as quickly as it's uncool or they are told to by their idols.

If Snapchat generated any kind of value / saved a lot of time, people couldn't afford to just get rid of it.
I don't know if you're right or not.

I suspect the basis for your theory is the idea behind inoculation. However, the purpose of the kidney and liver are to serve as filters for toxins. In any other context, filters don't get stronger with use, they degrade with use. The more crap you shove through it, the faster it degrades. How often do you have to change your car's air/fuel filters, or your HVAC filter? How often do you have to change them when you abuse them by living in a dusty climate?

Thus, my own (unqualified) take on it is that these organs can only handle a finite amount of filtration before they simply fail.

I have no intention of starting or getting into a flame war between Ruby and Python, both are great languages but I can help with the Python tooling a bit. The Python equivalent of rvm is pyenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/blob/master/README.md) and to install dependencies and handle virtual environments after that you can use pipenv (https://github.com/pypa/pipenv). Both of them together will get you almost similar experience to the Ruby tooling example you ended the post with.

I love why the lucky stiff's writing, I love POODR (http://www.poodr.com/) and the two languages have a lot in common if you just keep an open mind about it :)
Author here (of the plugin, not the page).

This was my only tangible contribution to the Gimp, some twenty years ago. IIRC it was modelled after a similar feature in Paint Shop Pro, and it was easy enough an exercise for an aspiring programmer. Or so I thought: others have now spent much more time maintaining it than I spent writing it.

In hindsight it seems like a bizarre idea to have a feature whose GUI requires filling in 25 numbers. But perhaps it has use as an educational tool.

In development version of the Gimp, the entire plugin has effectively been rewritten. Good riddance!
This is essentially Trump's argument against free trade. Your companies makes so much money in America and you don't have any rights here, why shouldn't we restrict you?

Free trade isn't some right, it's just better for everyone involved
What about their employees? Aren't employees, or ex-employees, also entitled under GDPR to be informed about what personal data the company stores or processes? Honest question!

>Is it actually racist to make reparations for former wrongs

They are not reparations. A reparation is a material compensation for a past harm. You don't take away from a group, you take away from individuals. I can't help but think of soviet farmers that were dispossessed in the name of communism.

>Helping one group does not mean another group has been harmed in equal magnitude

Again, you don't harm groups, you harm individuals. It's something different if you take taxes, where white people happen to pay more because they earn more, and use them to improve education in areas mainly inhabited by people of color. That would actually be not zero sum. But a position at a company is a limited resource. And if one person get's the position the other person can't get it. This is very much a zero sum situation.

I do welcome actions that help marginalized groups. But the way these issues are currently handled is short-sighted, ill-conceived and unethical.
First you have to implement a download data function. I might be pessimistic, but with many sites requiring a login still on http and with the wonderous amount of bugs in web apps this may not be as easy as it sounds. But then: let them burn.
The notions of law and legality prominent in the west are derived from the Roman ones; and many other parts of the world adopted one of these common law or civil law system over the last two hundred years. Japan and China, for example, both adopted these legal systems in recent times.

There are many Roman legal institutions, however, that have been abandoned; and these are some of the most essential to Roman society. These include:

* The unity of political and military authority.

* The father's power of life and death over the members of his family.

* The deep interconnectedness of religious mystery and the state.

* The careful delineation of different kinds of citizens with different levels of rights, as a matter of statute.

This is just as meaningless as Snapchat having billions in valuation.

> Snap Inc's stock prices fell around 4 percent later Thursday, wiping out nearly $800 million from its market value, reports CNN

I don't believe that Rihanna's tweet caused $800 million worth of investors to change their mind. In fact, it only finished 1% lower on the day.

SNAP stock is like any other: noisy.
It certainly didn't hinder Baidu, Alibaba et al
Not to those who have show dead activated.
Not to defend Snapchat's reputation or anything...but all Dropbox does is 'store files'. Saying snapchat just 'moves pictures' around and therefore shouldn't be valued so highly kind of misses the point. That being said, there are other reasons Snapchat probably shouldn't be valued so highly.
> Why are a large amount of people treaing access to other nations markets as a human right?

Why would you want to restrict (economic) interaction between two parties just because they’re far away from each other?

I’m sure some of the local companies in my area would love to prevent me from buying goods elsewhere, but why would I want to buy goods elsewhere unless they are either cheaper and/or of better quality?

In my opinion, your quote misrepresents the situation. It’s not about “giving someone access to a market”, it’s about not restricting trade between two parties because it’s assumed those two parties are intelligent human beings who choose to trade with each other for a reason, and restricting this activity only helps inferior companies who are unable to market their own goods.

Nobody died from detailed records of peoples religion and ethnicity in Germany 70 years ago either.
Yeah, I don't disagree with that. I've all but stopped reading the books that are mostly anecdotes with about an A4's worth of actual information.
Probably somewhat better, in the sense that your imperial overlords became spectacularly ineffective at taxing you.
You might be right, I was only going off what I could glean from the article, which may have been misleading.

From the article:
"McLemore was on a four-lane road called Liberty Avenue, heading Northeast, while the Uber vehicle was approaching from the opposite direction."

This description, led me to believe, they were on the same road approaching each other from opposite directions. As you can't really be going in opposite directions unless you're on the same road, or a parallel road.

If that's not the case, I guess the direction they're referring to is the direction in which she was turning to go?

Also from the article:
"'I was not expecting someone to turn from the far left lane into my lane,' the Uber safety driver said."

Based on my understanding of the cars heading in opposite directions, I assumed he was referring to the lane furthest to his left. And he's claiming he was about to change lanes to the left, which would place him in the furthest right lane and her in the furthest left lane.

I had assumed that she tried to turn left at the intersection, from the wrong lane, and hit the car in the process.
The point you made is routinely abused though, by having internal sales and allowing for profits to be laundered off towards countrys with low tax rules.

They do pay nearly no taxes.
Now, the usual neo-liberal vector here is to blame the states for getting there tax buisness not synced, which they cant because they compete among one another- which the NeoLibs ususally know.

Taxing for customer access would be fairer. If my citizens engage in a buisness relationship with a company for x minutes or y % of there total economic activity per day- then you pay a tax on that- no matter where on the planet you are. Sorry Imgur.
People don't really care about pop celebrities, they might as well be fiction characters. If I were to make the same, rather tame, would-you-rather joke with a group of friends does that mean I 'make light' of domestic violence?

People know where the line is, this isn't it, and no one cares when multi-millionaires with nothing in common with anybody hit each other. The world continues to turn...
Dropbox does a lot more than just store files. It provides a valuable abstraction over universal storage, through its integration with various services. For example, integration with MS Office to provide a single virtual drive to save my work to a single location from any PC i use.

It sounds like you are the racist here.
Noone is restricting trade, they are simply saying that the fact that you are "far away" doesn't give you the right to dodge taxes that local companies have to pay. If anything it levels the playing field.

It stands to reason that Rome's collapse would have been straight away better for everyone, if it had involved a direct devolution of power to local administration; but that is not what happened. There was a long period of conflict and privation that accompanied it, as all the lights went out on the old administration while people were still running power for the new.

To a limited degree, the collapse of the British Empire, gentle though it was, illustrates the same problem: it's not that the new order is worse than the old, but rather that the process of getting there is so disordered and bad.
Stock market reporting is generally a case study in “post hoc ergo propter hoc”.
Perhaps it's part of a transition to web apps?
Um, if you look at the stock price it's still up 17% since Feb 1st which is before both the Kylie Jenner and Rihanna tweets. Tasteless as the ad was, markets are driven by greed way more than social outrage. Now if this is a trend that actually results in Snapchat becoming uncool and usage falls over time then that would be a story, but for now this is just grasping at straws trying to attribute stock market noise to some minor scandal with zero long-term effect.

Beautiful shots.

Surprised that these photos were allowed to be released from a recent military mission in a spy plane.

It's hard to glean much insight into what the mission might have been, but I thought the military had to approve the release of content through a lengthy declassification process.
Not quite.

If you come up with a supplement to aid in sleeping, it's fine to conduct a study and use it in marketing to say hey, studies have shown it helps you sleep at night.

The matter becomes grayer when there are concerns about the safety of a product. I'm personally willing to trust your study that your supplement aids with sleeping, but I don't trust that you're disclosing that your test subjects also all died of cancer. You have an interest in hiding the downside of your findings to sell more product.

Put another way, the NRA's studies would find nothing wrong with arming every American man, woman and child-- for their own protection! Their interest is in selling guns. That owning a gun increases your chances of accidental death by x% is likely not a fact they will share with you.
I think this is the line but it's an arbitrary inconsistent line. People still shoot each other in video games, even with characters based on real people. That's OK though because murder isn't as bad as slapping, or something.
As a response to several people stating that free trade is better for everyone.

I've taken economics courses, I understand how free trade is better overall. However, those calculations only work when both sides follow the same rules. Once you have different groups of people with different values, whether it's the EU valuing privacy, China valuing domestic production, or the US valuing intellectual property, absloute free trade seems to break down.

You can't freely trade if you're using different units
Yes but with a few caveats, the language is getting quite big now, I think it would be daunting to start from scratch. The core part of the framework is OK, Forms hasn't kept up with the times and WPF is far too complex. Neither are cross platform so I'm not starting anything new with it.
Instant apps are an interesting concept. I believe my Android 8 phone supports them but I really didn't notice any of them running. Maybe it's how they are designed. Anyway, does anybody know the answers to these questions?

1) Are they going to ask the same permissions every time an instant app is downloaded or are they caching the answers of the user?

2) How do they pick the instant app to download when multiple apps can do the same thing?

3) As a consequence, how to know which company to contact for assistance and/or ask for our personal data (think GDPR)?
And snapchat provides a valuable abstraction over picture moving that many people use. Does something need to integrate with MS office in order to be useful?
