> Everyone can, all toddlers do it.

That's faulty logic. Toddlers' bones and cartilage aren't fully developed and as a result their skeletal system is more pliable. They have more bones than an adult (270 vs. 206 per wikipedia) with areas of cartilage in between that allow for flexibility which diminishes when the maturing bones fuse in place.
Inheritance can represent this relationship, as long as all the defined operations in the rectangle are covariant. Because squares are covariant (more constrained) than rectangles. This generally means that the rectangle type must be immutable.
> The Scopes compiler fundamentally differs from C++ and other traditional AOT (ahead of time) compilers, in that the compiler is designed to remain on-line at runtime so that functions can be recompiled when the need arises, and generated machine code can adapt to the instruction set present on the target machine. This also diminishes the need for a build system. Still, Scopes is not a JIT compiler. Compilation is always explicitly initiated by the user.

Many Lisp systems also have their native code compiler on-line.
> * I (like most companies) have a variety of unstructured and/or immutable logs. I can't just DROP FROM table WHERE. Is it acceptable to delete this data by waiting a few days for a retention period to expire, or do I have to retrofit deletion functionality in?

In order to be allowed to store PII (even if it's in logs) you need a specific purpose. Why do you put PII in logs? What benefit does the user have?

> * What if the retention period is a week, or a month? What if I've been advised to establish those longer retention periods for other reasons?

If there is a legal requirement to keep PII (for example accounting) you can/must keep it as long as the legal requirement demands. If there is no legal requirement you have to delete PII, there is nothing that trumps that.

> * If a bug is found in the data deletion workflow, is it an undue delay to say we'll tackle it next sprint? Do we need to drop everything and make it a priority now?

If your next sprint starts 1 month down the road the regulator won't be happy. If it's next week and your GDPR doesn't have other gaping holes a reasonable regulator won't bat an eye.

> * Once we've resolved a personal data deletion bug, is it an undue delay to roll it out slowly over a week? Does it matter if this is our standard rollout process, or if there's a risky hotfix process we're deliberately choosing not to use?

Are you playing for time or doing responsible software development? If a regulator thinks you are bending the rules good luck, otherwise nobody will demand of you doing dangerous stuff.

I know, there are a lot of things open to interpretation. But as my lawyer told me: "There are people getting a speeding ticket for 5 above the limit and others who don't. Try to stick to the limit and make sure you are seen as one of the second category."
Every business I've worked with over the last couple of years of consulting

OK, but if you're going into a business and consulting, that already suggests both a certain scale and a degree of awareness within those businesses, so this isn't likely to be a representative sample.

How about email? If someone from the EU sends me an email, their IP address will likely be in one of the received-from headers, and will be in my SMTP logs.

Note that even if I don't have an email server, relying on my ISP to handle that, desktop email clients download the headers from the server.

A lot of small businesses have no idea that they are storing that information.
About 50% of small business survive their 5th year and roughly 30% survive to their 10th year. The concern is the drip/drip effect of more and more regulation making those numbers even worse. In addition you may be saying to a poor or middle class person that the money costs of starting certain types business are not longer in reach due to much higher costs. A large well established business is in a much better position to weather these costs so the wealthy get wealthier. What are the costs compared to the benefits?
The last part about Honeywell is quite interesting. I did not know that "mission critical" avaition systems were designed that way. I also did not know Honeywell was into defense and aviation. Up until now, all I knew about them was that their old mainframe keyboards used Hall Effect switches, that they build POS systems (like the self-checkout stations in use at CVS), and that their air purifiers are sold in Walmart. Seems like quite a company to work for.
This sounds a lot like me. After my inefficiency even drove me to a burnout. I redesigned my life to something that works for me. As software developer there are always more passive options that allow you to set your own schedule. It also allows to work remotely what keeps my head out of further depressive holes (not exactly ADD but often linked) by beeing able to experience new things and environments regularly.

It's not perfect but it works better for me than any medication / job combination I tried so far.
Maybe some are like that, but doing work like darning socks is really time-consuming and there is little incentive to do so if you can pay ten dollars for a pack of several pairs of socks.
Ask HN: What cheap and light laptop to buy for ssh?
I'm constantly travelling and there are some times when I need to ssh into a vps and make some modifications.

So I'm looking for a light and cheap notebook I can carry around like a textbook and use it with my mobile internet connection to access a vps. I'd like to have Ubuntu or some similar Linux distro and great battery capacity.

I'd like to keep my budget under u$s200.

It seems that this Samsung Chromebook 3, 11.6", 4GB RAM[0] laptop could work. What would you recommend?

What frustrates me the most about the GDPR is that a single person building a mailing list for a $19 ebook launch is just as affected and burdened as any other company. A side-business that might make you $30,000/yr is now no longer worth pursuing because of the costs of working with a lawyer to make sure you are GDPR compliant and have all of the right policies in place.

It raises the barrier to entry for small one person businesses even more, forcing out anyone who can't justify the costs of compliance.
I've found that simple stuff helps. For example:

* Have a calendar at hand everywhere -- on your computer, on your phone, everywhere. Enter stuff into it immediately. Live and die by the calendar, because you will never remember things on your own.

* Know what you're aiming to do on a day. Maybe you can cope with a to-do list, but speaking for myself they feel oppressive, like I am judging myself for all the things I've failed to do. But you can keep one thing in mind.

* Email yourself! I bat tasks back and forth between my home and work emails, based on where I can act on them.

* Exercise. It helps with a lot of things and research suggests it helps with ADHD as well.

* It's the morning. You've made coffee. You should be preparing to do some exercise. Don't open the laptop or phone. I know you're going to "just check". Don't. Don't start, you won't stop.

* When you learn about something that distracts you easily, either give up the addiction or accept the cost. I've pissed away thousands of hours of my life on websites like this one. I have mixed feelings about what I gained and lost. Right now I am noticing that Slack is becoming a problem for me.

* Read books. Physical books lack the ability to open tabs or follow links.

* Have times of day when you ignore things. At work I generally ignore messages on my phone. At home I ignore emails from work. In particular, there is no way for my work to reach me on my phone. No email, no slack, nothing.

* Work in pairs! This has been phenomenal for me.

* Do you take shorter-acting medication, like I do? Set an alarm for the doses you need later in the day. Left to my own devices I can easily sail past 2pm and then at 4pm wonder why the hellSQUIRREL I can't conCLANGcentrate on my wWIKIPEDIAork.

* You will struggle with impulse buys. Rehearse in your mind what it will be like when you get the thing. Think about the regret of having given into the impulse. Even a few seconds of delay can break it.

There are probably other coping mechanisms I don't realise are coping mechanisms.

These are not enough by themselves. Not even close. Almost every one of these is only possible because I am taking ritalin, and every one of them is necessary because ritalin can't do everything by itself.
Doesn't seem like geoblocking would make sense, since GDPR applies to any citizens of a country that is a EU member, not just the ones living in EU. Not arguing against your point here, but why would it be necessary to actually block the people, rather than just giving a warning, and if they accept, then it is on the user. Same as adult sites/liquor companies, their websites don't actually check your age, at the end of the day.
Sure, I think it should be opt-in. At ANSEP if you opt in you get a full ride plus internships during the summer.

Totally worth it if your main goal in college is to succeed scholastically, rather than party all the time and get distracted by roommates who are taking different classes with different study needs and might be trying to play beer pong and wrestle till 3am the night before your midterm.
A lot of the problems of the GDPR do indeed go away if you're building your systems from scratch, using data privacy standards significantly beyond what GDPR mandates.

Surely you see why this doesn't weaken the claim that it's hard for existing companies to understand what must be done to comply.
And you also called the TV repairman as messing with the HT circuits (which can carry a really nasty voltage) was not for amateurs.
A rich person can buy the cheap option. A poor person usually cannot buy the expensive option. Of course the rule doesn't apply to everything, but it applies to "enough".

Buying a house is often much better financially than renting (in high cost of living areas, usually by a factor)

Hardwood furniture can last several generations. Plywood stuff...not so much.

Mutual funds have much lower fees if you invest a larger amount of money. Banks and credit unions give you more, cheaper services if you have more money. Borrowing money is cheaper the better off you are.

You can get a better job if you can afford to be on the market for longer.

And so on, and so forth. There are exceptions (my cheap ikea couch has lasted 10-15 years, while a fancy hardwood table we got started falling apart after just a few years), but you just have more options if you can afford more expensive stuff. Some of those options are vastly more cost-effective. Being poor is very expensive.

That's one of the worst appeals to authority I've ever seen. What hubris. Yes, many of us are busy building the things that you merely criticize. Some of us even have experience in security, but it's not what we do now. But because we're not your tribe, you consistently act like we're not entitled to opinions. You didn't even try to engage with the actual argument here.

I understand your point, and I agree that this is what would probably happen if I just ignored it, but how would my service be breaking the rules, if it explicitly would state that it is not designed for citizens of EU and that if you click "yes", then you confirm that you are not a EU citizen? Wouldn't that be on the user for lying, in the same way it would be if an underage person visits an adult website and clicks a button that says "Confirm that I am 21+"?

All of these have existing solutions:

> * Distribute tokens to partners (product / gift manufacturers). Partners with vested interest in the success of a company could be much less likely to sever relations as it will hurt their investment.

= stock or partial ownership.

> * Distribute tokens to customers as a type of rebate. Like a loyalty program that encourages patronship.

= rebates.

> * Use tokens to vote on what products should be sold. Many gift shops sell pipes and other drug related items. This decision would sink other family oriented shops. What would your customers like?

= surveys.

> * Distribute tokens to the locals as an attempt to build virility and community around your shop.

= flyers, ads, etc.

> * Distribute tokens to employees as a way to recognize accomplishments. Ever get a few bonus stock from your company for doing good work over the week? Me neither.

= bonuses/stock options

> * Sell tokens to raise funds.

= IPOs or kickstarters.

> * Set budgets based on community votes.

= surveys

Literally everything you've listed is a solved problem.

The only thing on here that might benefit from being a cryptocoin is the rebates idea: that's because rebates depend on some customers not cashing in their rebate. So if you make it harder to cash in your rebates by using a worse technology which is hard to use like cryptocoins, fewer users will cash in their rebates. However, this is a sleazy business practice, and if capitalism works as it should, sleazy companies offering rebates in the hope that people won't claim them should go out of business, so hopefully this would result in bad publicity and this business strategy would backfire.
Show HN: Checkly – Active Monitoring for Dev and Ops Teams
Hi HN,

I'm Tim, working solo on an active monitoring SaaS tool called Checkly. Checkly monitors API endpoints and browser click flows from a single, simple dashboard.

During my career as a sys admin, developer and later engineering manager I worked a lot of monitoring tools. I was always looking for a simple active monitoring solution that was still deep and comprehensive. Something that could give me one simple dashboard that told me how my services were doing from a customer and/or end user perspective, while not dumbing down the control I had over what and how my services were checked and validated.

Checkly gives a lot of control to the operator:

- Extensive validation and customisation options on API responses
- Complete control over checking browser transaction by writing Node.js scripts

Of course there is alerting via the usual suspects when things go pear shaped.

I'm super early stage, just finishing a small private beta period, learning every day. Any feedback would be awesome.

Thanks,
Tim
I have ADHD. Here's some stuff I do to cope:

- I try to get myself to do recurring things at a specific time. It's too hard to wake up at say 7:00 a.m. The reason it's hard it because I forget to set an alarm clark. Instead I'd cope by just making sure I get a job where I don't have to be there before a certain time, and that time is after I'd naturally wake up.

- When I need to do something I on a recurring basis, I try to make the task visible. Like living a toothbrush lying by the sink, putting vitamins in a 7-day pill thing for the week, etc.

- I have have 11 bank accounts, each with a single purpose, and I have automatic transfers set up between all of them (it's not perfect, but it's pretty good). I prevent overdrawing a checking account by using a pre-paid debit card that won't let me take the balance below zero. When I have to buy something that requires a tip, where the tip will be subtracted from the bill later, I pay with a credit card and then immediately send a payment from the debit card to the credit card. I pay all my bills on the day I get paid, so I don't have to remember to do it later.

- I embrace trying new things, because if I'm wired to be attracted to shiny objects, I might as well find a way to enjoy them!

- lately I've been exercising a lot, and that seems to help

- medication, which may or may not help, but it doesn't seem to be hurting

- I plan as few things as possible, so I have less to remember

- I archive or delete my email as fast as I can

I'm no saying that HN is bad and Ethereum is good. For one thing, here I am posting on HN, so it's pretty telling :)

I just wanted to highlight the difference and that that HN is not free. It's free as in beer.

As far as inconvenience goes, it's temporary. Give it some time (2-5 years, I'd say) and it's only going to be about paying real money for it.

And if you think that EOS is decentralized, and that it will ever see the light of day, then even paying money won't be a thing for the users as they have a different business model for dApps, where the dApp owner has to stake EOS coins to get a share of EOS network's resources. Which is more similar to existing business model of renting EC2 servers

So it's basically Discord's read-only channels with the requirement of pressing spacebar to see new content? I can't say I personally see a huge advantage, but I do like the idea of it all. Really it's the pressing space bit that annoys me, probably. Will a mode be implemented as to where it automatically gives you new messages? Something like a custom reading-speed would be enjoyable.
Imagine that you run a charity. Your job is to save lives. Should you spend every penny you get on medicine and spend nothing on IT? Of course not. It's impossible to run a charity like that. You must have computers, and you would prefer it if they are fast and reliable. You choose to divert some money from your programs to have efficient administration.

Now imagine the cost of flash doubles. You're forced to choose between "less storage, slow storage, or less money for other things." All of those options mean more death.

Flash storage can be more important than medicine for the sick or food for the hungry.

Googles solution sounds very familiar to what we used in the military: GRGs or geographical reference grids.

Every point on earth was contained within a box named with two letters. Within each box was a theoretically infinite number of digits that could be assigned.

Practically, we had immense precision with as few as 8 numbers - 4 each for the horizontal and vertical
axes on the map.

While flying Close Air Support missions, we could be flying 30k feet overhead and within seconds have our sensors on whatever the ground controller wanted us to look at.

It was a version of Lat/long, but far more intuitive with each digit representing a different order of magnitude of the base measurement unit.

Can you explain why it's unethical to hold people accountable for their actions or actions others took on their behalf?
I'd modify the analogy slightly.

Imagine that the threads present themselves to the scheduler. They arise continuously and spontaneously. Most of them are not valuable and should be rejected wholesale.

Now take away the scheduler. The threads come and go as they please. They wrestle away the execution time from each other. They spontaneously explode or implode. Nothing corrals them, nothing gives a policy for deciding which one to devote time and effort to.

No matter how hard you lecture the CPUs for being lazy, it never changes the behaviour of unscheduled and unschedulable threads. But it sure can make you feel bad.

You say you've been lugging around the diagnosis since being a teenager. I was diagnosed at 32. Medication has been liberating. I am able to just be and do with exhaustion, failure, misery and self-loathing.
In general I strongly agree that regulations can be one of the slow drip/drips that crush a society over time.

However there are two forms of complexity at war here; complexity for business (regulation) and complexity for ordinary people (having data about you everywhere, about everything, forever). So we have to decide which kind of complexity is worse, or how to strike the right balance.
Being the target of a government investigation is in and of itself an expensive process. You have to spend a bunch of time preparing your side of the story in exacting detail. You probably need to put a freeze on any changes which might make the regulator think you're trying to cover up previous misconduct.

And of course, if people find out out you're under investigation, a lot of people are going to just assume you did something wrong. You won't be able to fix that no matter what the regulators conclude.
Mental models for the problem determine how we address it. A good demonstration of that idea is in an old joke about a doctor who castrated a guy when larger underwear would have been an equally valid way to cure his headaches.*

If people with ADHD need, for example, better nutrition and are being given drugs instead, they may currently be getting harmed.

Only provided we leave earth and we harvest energy in a more efficient way. One of the reasons I'm supportive of renewable energy is not for environmental reasons; rather, that it's energy that would otherwise have been lost. Extracting hydrocarbons removes the total amount left, but extracting energy from sunlight doesn't lower the amount of sunlight that'll be emitted. Renewables are a responsible long-term energy play, and not just for the planet's health.
Your logic applies to fire codes and food sanitary rules just as well.

Doing the right thing is a burden, that’s why it’s called the right thing and not the convenient thing.
