A two to three hour drive every day is subjectively worse than sleeping in an SUV. Not to mention the health effects of hours of driving, pollution - and about $18-27 a day in fuel[0] that could be saved or used for food.

[0] 60mph/20mpg (generous for SUV) = 3 gallons/hour * [2 to 3] hours = [6 to 9 gallons] * (ballpark)$3 gallon = [$18-$27]. For 20 days of commuting that would be [$360-$540] per month.

Working Towards GDPR Compliance: 30 Questions to Be Answered by Digital Business
They have to have a business somewhere.

For instance, if a UK citizen is concerned how their data is being processed by a USA company:

* They complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
* ICO talks to their US equivalent (I want to say it's somehow the Treasury's job), on the basis of international treaties (Data Shield legislation)
* That US regulator deals with the US company and imposes fines / process changes as appropriate

No, but it would make it possible to actually check whether they do or not, which I guess is why parent is asking.
> The fundamental challenge... is making computing systems that people feel comfortable using. “They don’t feel safe, they don’t feel trust... Does this company have my best interests at heart at all?..”

Making users feel good about surrendering data, defined as “protecting privacy”.

Google’s positioning on the current furor is pretty interesting.

Specifically the preferred corporate definition of ‘privacy’ to mean...

> Being respectful of a user can be as simple as giving her a way to respond to a product that bothers her, whether its an ad for a chicken recipe that’s not relevant for her because she’s a vegetarian or an abusive message that she wants to report.

... Funnel-optimization (“user trust”), and enhanced personal data collection.

Very Googley.

The opening question made me laugh because I actually do feel I have too much storage.

I haven't bought a new hard drive in years, and I'm only using maybe 1.5 Tb of ~3 Tb, and most of that space is used up by RAW images from my DSLR. At the rate I'm going, it'll be 2 or 3 years before I need a new drive.
GDPR also applies to government.
It's interesting to me that the article mentions Yonatan Zunger, since he left Google in July 2017. Before working in the Privacy team (as a Distinguished Engineer), he was Chief Architect for G+.

His short stint in Privacy (8 months) before quitting Google for a startup makes me nervous. But maybe I'm reading too much and he just needed to move on from Google after 14 years.

Last time I was at Google for a workshop (If you have the chance to visit Google, do it. The food alone is worth it), they didn’t seem to push CloudSQL a lot, because they wanted to guide people more in the spanner direction.
Without a solid RDS counterpart however, I don’t think bigger companies will consider moving from AWS. Happy to see they changed their mind and continue to expand their SQL services. The competition by Google put a lot of pressure on AWS who seemed to be gotten a bit lazy. Google was ahead of the game with their global load balancers and network speed and quality. Now AWS countered with their 5th series C5/M5, which solve the bandwidth problem of the smaller C and M instances
Can you confirm that it's impossible to avoid downtime, even with HA, because of forced updates?

Surely that's what HA is? no downtime as you update each node one at a time?

If it's impossible then it's a dealbreaker.
2 points:

1. The primary mechanism for enforcing GDPR is via regulators, not legislation. This is something of an EU/USA culture clash, but the person _complains to a regulator_ rather than lawyering up, so the courts would only be involved in extreme case
2. The jurisdiction is geographical; GDPR applies to persons physically located in the EU irrespective of nationality
Yes, please. It would be useful for me, especially when I browse HN on my phone.
Not even necessarily promoting a competitor as much as trying to reassure people who are already very nervous about Google's data gathering.

Lol, that could not be further from the truth, you have no idea of the amount of data private companies gather, the government has nowhere near as much data as Facebook, that's why the NSA has programs to incorporate Facebook data, the reason being that it's much better than anything they have got by themselves.

My daughter, who is 9 now, adores anything by Roald Dahl. I've read most of the famous ones to her. It's super fun when you try to read his nonsense words. Always a laugh. I'm trying to go towards abridged classics. I've read most of Jules Verne to her and some Stevenson (Kidnapped was one of her favourites). She also enjoyed the Milnes original Winne the Pooh (I'll never forgive Disney for destroying it), Gaiman's Coraline and Fortunately the milk. The classics like E.B. Whites Charlottes Web and Stuart Little were fun too. We also went through a childrens adaptation of the Arabian Nights hauntingly illustrated by Victor Ambrus. I heard that the Woz used to read Tom Swift Jr. books to his kids so I read one of those to my daughter. It felt a little cheesy and dated (eg. Asian people were called Orientals) but she enjoyed it. I also read The Water Babies (by Rev. Charles Kingley) to her. It was a weird book but she seemed to enjoy it. The only one she asked me to stop reading to her was "The Borrowers" by Mary Norton. The only thing where she preferred the animation over the book. Right now, we're reading Swallows and Amazons.

She also enjoys reading a lot by herself. Her latest craze was Astrid Lingdren and right now, she's reading Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH.

My son, who's 5 now and can't read fluently yet, enjoys graphic novels. I read at lot of simple "Thomas the Tank engine" stories to him. He also enjoys the "From the black lagoon" series of books as well as stuff from Dr. Seuss and other kids books like the Gruffalo series. One of his favourites are the books by Quentin Blake (Mrs. Armitage, Patrick, Angelo etc.). Interestingly, I read Kidnapped to my daughter while he (unknowingly) listened on and later he was able to recount some of the important scenes in the book quite well. He knew about Alan Breck and how he fought in the ship and what not. That was a bit of a wow moment for me.

I also love reading poetry to them. Even singing it if I can. The Random House book of poetry for children edited by Jack Prelutsky. Both of them love it and enjoy reciting stuff by themselves. They even have a few "favourite poems".

I think one of the responsibilities of a parent, especially in the younger years, is to curate the world that reaches their children. You have to expose them to the best of humanity so that they grow up that way and when they encounter the failings, they'll know how belong human potential it is. The humanities are a wonderful way of doing this and I emphasise them a lot more in my household than the sciences.

I think GDPR will harm European companies and tax payers much more than any US company. Any European company processing personal data will be liable even as a subcontractor. US multinationals can easily avoid liability for non-Europeans as demonstrated. A European startup or even government organization (like also a European universities) will be bound and have much higher cost due to legal and thus monetary risk.
Disturbances from noise in office environments fall into 3 main frequency bands: low (ventilation/Ac), mid (conversations) and high (some parts of ventilation noise, some noise from office equipment).

The most disturbing frequency band (on cognitive tasks) is probably the middle frequency, especially when the noise has "information" (language, tones, signals); but on a physiological level (directly affecting health (CNS function), performance and well-being it is the LOW frequencies that, albeit not cognitively disturbing at first, will have the greatest effect on a long-term perspective.

Headphones/noise cancelling headphones are good a fixing problems in the mid/mid-high range but perform poorly in the low frequency range.

My suggestion is this: your health comes first, no matter what. If you develop a noise-related disorder, you will under-perform and eventually get fired. I would do two things: use an app like SPLnFFT to document the noise level. Use a spectral analyzer to find out where the noise peaks are. ... then get proper in-ear hearing protection from an audiologist (comes in skin-colored, looks like an hearing aid). No-one can blame you for investing in your health to maintain your ability to perform, right?

There are car sharing services in Seattle that operate much like the scooters and bikes (park them in any city space, pay just for when you use, etc). The city charges a flat rate per car per month. Like dockless bike share it ends up being way more useful.

You seem great at diagnosing why what we're saying doesn't make sense, but you don't have anything to back whatever your point is.

Since we don't have access to Facebook logs and can't know how many times people sign in and to what percentage are bots wandering around the site, we can only talk about our impressions.
With the current code, your data becomes unmountable in that case.
There is a workaround for getting the data accessable: leave a bit of the underlying blockdevice unused, so when creating VDO ontop give it not the full blockdevice. Then, in case the filesystem ontop completely fills up, the last part of the blockdevice can be used to grow the VDO device, and the filesystem can be mounted.

Should be tried out before relying on it. The current behaviour seems to be considered a bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1519377 has details.
It seems like the only two people she had in her life are in the Seattle area, and she had relied on them for financial support in the past. If she has car trouble or additional health problems, then that's going to be very difficult to handle

I've been trying to find out exactly what the F-35 did during Red Flag 2017 and it's all very nebulous. I also wasn't able to find any proof that the F-35 dominated the F-16 or whether it even engaged F-16's in dogfights. When the F-16 dominated the F-35 in dogfights the excuse was that the pilots were flying the F-35 like a traditional fighter and that the software wasn't allowing them to have complete control of the plane. If these factors were indeed the issue then it would be nice to see a rematch to validate these conclusions. However, I doubt we'll ever see a rematch in public between these 2 planes ever again.
> If Hertz or Avis attempted to use public space to park their inventory, local residents and city officials would pitch a fit.

I don't have a counter-example for your very specific statement, but these are close:

* The car rental company "Rent a Wreck" in San Francisco drives between 5 and 20 of their camper vehicles off the lot and parks them in public parking spaces every morning around 7am and brings them back in in the evening. Reported to 311, "not enforceable".

* The Enterprise car rental branch at the Amtrak station in Emeryville, CA, routinely blocks a bike lane and public parking spots with rental vehicles. They also perform vehicle inspections and handovers there. No outrage, in fact Emeryville doesn't enforce parking in bike lanes or at red curbs, period.

* "Global Gourmet Catering" in San Francisco backs rental trucks into their loading bay such that the entire sidewalk, the entire bike lane, and up to half a traffic lane is blocked approximately every second day. In the evenings the same trucks are parked in public diagonal parking spots sized for passenger vehicles across the street, blocking the side walk and bike lane in the other direction. Reported to 311, forwarded to parking enforcement, won't enforce because blocked sidewalks and blocked bike lanes are handled by different people, and this involves both.

* "Enclosures International Corporation" in San Francisco basically runs a fulfillment operation with frequent forklift traffic on a public sidewalk and the bike lane. Super dangerous actually, because it forces cyclists to cross defunct train tracks in the traffic lane at a sharp angle. When the fork lifts aren't there, the Audi Q7 of one of their employees still blocks the sidewalk. Reported to 311, you can guess the outcome.

I asked @sf311 on Twitter why these things don't get enforced, but parking scooters on sidewalks does [0]. The answer:

> These scooters do not have a license plate. So it does not fall under SFMTA DPT.

> DPW BSM permits use of and enforces ordinances regarding public areas, as pertains to blocking items that don't have a license.

You should not be. I had both. They do work differently, and there is a lot of overlap.

Legos though. Common ground! Almost everyone will get after a pile of legos.

The thing I disliked the most was watching the girls lose interest in some things as social pressure increased on them. Girlie norms. Good for girls, not for boys, kinds of things were in play. Rubbed me the wrong way.

Thing is, some boys are girly, and some girls are boyish. That's OK. Has to be, or we require people to live lies. I sure don't want to do that. How can I require others to do it?

What if it were me? You?

We gotta shake that stuff all off, learn new ideas, new ways for people to better self identify and be good with who they are. We do that so they too can be good with who they are.

As a parent, it was hard to compete with the norms. Was mostly successful, but not to the degree I now feel makes sense. I had help from my kids peers who saw I was open, seeking, just wanting to bring out who I saw developing.

BTW: watching their peers showed me those brain differences aren't just gender driven. Boys and girls, in a general sense, can make these things easy to see.

And people get stuck on all that too. Like they stop right there, when the truth is they should be continuing!

The reality is the kids brains will work differently. A boy who likes to craft and sew happens more often than many understand, just as does the girl who likes to build, take it apart, or race. We tend to celebrate the latter, when we should just celebrate new people, our future.

That's where we need to get to, if you ask me. Let the kids present as who they are, and we can then seek to understand with them and maximize that with and for them.

Many young people today get this cold. A whole lot of norms we struggle with today are going to change for the better. It's a good thing, but will likely continue to be kind of rough for a while yet.

All, FWIW, just observations from the school of hard knocks. :D

Because they often have friends and family in the city. It is inhumane to force people to drop their entire social networks simply because they are too poor.

Sure, but the question is "how likely" not "how many times". Counting the expected number of times is a much easier problem because you can use the linearity of expectation.
Olympia is only an hour drive from Seattle during the middle of the night, or sometimes on weekends. Most of the time, it's at least a 2 hour drive, and can be a 4 hour drive in the right conditions - heavy rain, collisions on I-5, construction reducing lanes, Ft Lewis traffic, and Capitol traffic. That length of trip greatly increases the number of probable delays encountered. It also increases the probability of being involved in one, especially in those "right" conditions.
"Comprise" works both ways.

Well, they definitely do fail at the very core. For the non-enterprise Gmail accounts, there is basically no way for account owners to reattain control over an account if it was hijacked. Google product forums full of people blocked from the recovery of their account by sudo-AI recovery form and all the support they get is repeated "use recovery form" from some kind of "google community volunteers" (or something like that).
