I have not read all the responses, so maybe this has been mentioned already. But just in case it hasn't and if you think it has to do with your communication style, I would highly recommend something like Toastmasters (https://www.toastmasters.org).

I did it for a few years way back when and it really helped me be a better communicator, both on the job (and in job interviews) as well as in daily life.

BTW, I have no affiliation, just a satisfied previous club member.

Hope that helps.
Phoenix – A Challenge to the Public Sector
> if only their mentality would be more 'transferable'

There's a reason why there is only one Scandinavia and it's so tiny population wise. It's strictly cultural, ingrained over hundreds or thousands of years, and can't be replicated across a massive population base. That it's cultural is also the reason why Scandinavians have historically done even better in the US than they do in Scandinavia (a system with superior economic potential, combined with a culture that produces superior outcomes).

The closest a large nation has gotten to what Scandinavia accomplished, is probably Japan. However Japan has never sustained a standard of living at the median anywhere near what Denmark or Sweden reached (the Japanese are also over-worked to accomplish their lower economic output, which is a bit of a cheat if you're contrasting it with the economic output of Scandinavia).

When it comes to Switzerland, you can't replicate what they've done because there isn't enough banking to go around. That isn't a dig on Switzerland, it's the same reason most countries could never replicate Norway (oil).

Switzerland has a dozen banks that together are worth around $200-$250 billion, with just a population of eight million people. That'd be like if the top dozen banks in the US were worth $8 trillion. The total Swiss banking system has something like $7 to $10 trillion in assets under management; which would be like the US banking system having ~$350 trillion under management, a laughable sum.
15% is pretty damn flabby though. Unless you have a very unique body composition and putting your fat into say your legs and butt (like women typically do) youll def have a soft doughnut around your waistline and no way you have six pack abs. Its more in the below 10% bf when you actually can start to dream about the 6pack if you actually have the muscle.

Yours is a very adequate criticism to the system. I especially agree that we need much more heavy-handed deterrents and more proactive government!

Alas, many people make money off of loose regulation and they are thus biased.

GDPR is not that big of a deal for companies/groups who’ve been paying attention to these issues from day one.

Ask HN: How do you comply with GDPR when scraping from third-party
I've been tooling with the idea for a project that relies heavily from scraping player data from a game. I of course want to comply with GDPR but I'm wondering how to do so. Would I save who had their data deleted in the database, and then purposefully ignore those when updating the database? I assume you aren't allowed to keep re-scraping someone who requested their data deleted.
What Type of Training Impresses Girls the Most
It's called biochar. I don't have specific recommendations, but searching the term on Google and Amazon will turn up a lot of resources.
I understand the risk of aggregate data etc and do think we need to hold companies accountable however I disagree with the fundamentals of how GDPR tries to achieve this. It’s the wrong abstraction. I also value what free services, indie apps, small scrappy startups and general maker world productions provide society and life in general way more than I value absolute privacy.
I think the chemicals would be the rub. HF is very nasty, as is 'piranha solution'. Both are extremely corrosive, obviously - so it would be hard to build a 'printer' that could deal with the handling and disposal.

Not to mention, a lot of the dopants are pretty nasty too.
You're acting like you know exactly how to comply with GDPR, while using the term "essentially" to admit that you don't know 100%. Meanwhile you're faulting someone who runs a non-profitable community project for expressing realistic fears over what the law could do to him, because he isn't sure what risk it lays on him.

I've been running websites and doing IT for a long time. I've spent least 10 hours on my employer's dime reading about GDPR and trying to figure it out. There's a lot of ambiguity. We're in the US, we don't do a lot in Europe, so we're at less risk, and my conclusion was that we're small enough (while MUCH bigger than streelend) that we're not going to be a target while some of the ambiguities get worked out in courts. This poor guy has no protections.

Regarding your first statement, GDPR does not apply to personal projects. Only to business to consumer interaction. You are at less risk (in fact, zero), if you don't have an LTD as you are outside the scope of the law.

(please don't hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong)
Say there are 3 customers at a single bank.

Customer 1 = Investor, has 100 cash and deposits it into a bank account

Customer 2 = Borrower, borrows 100 from the bank

Customer 3 = Restaurant, provides a service for Borrower. Borrower pays a 100, and Restaurant deposits it to it's bank account.

This is how the "sovereign money" travels: Investor -> Borrower -> Restaurant

But the customers see the following account balances

Investor : 100

Borrower : -100 (owes the bank 100)

Restaurant : 100

If now Investor and Restaurant both want to withdraw their money the Bank would be in trouble. The bank only has 100 "sovereign money" on their books. Investor and Restaurant won't care who owes the bank, they want their money.

But the solution for this would be easy, Investor must be given the choice if he wants to allow/disallow the bank to loan out his deposit. Similarly how it works with long positions at a brokerage firm.

This is a discussion about forming better sleep habits. It seems pretty on topic to me
GDPR applies to all data controllers anywhere on the earth, if you hold private data of EU citizens or residents and don't follow the GDPR then any EU country's data protection authority can choose to prosecute.

The only way to avoid the GDPR is to not hold personal identifying information on any EU citizens or EU residents.

You can do that without root.

What developers are you talking about? I want to know what developer would risk their career and prison time. And if a developer has no problem with going to prison, surely they have no problem finding some 0day privilege escalation exploit.

> It's unfortunate but it's true, I've seen it 100x.

That's not really an argument, how many developers did you have and how many of them risked prison time to install malware on dev machines?

> We take great measures to ensure that we can do that while still keeping our customers safe.
> We would never allow admin AWS access, that's absurd. An attacker on your box would be able to own prod.

You aren't doing a great job then, because your production stuff should be on a separate AWS account altogether.
One begins to wonder if there's going to be a future business in climate modification. Could the UN spend money to pay for a reduction in world wide temperature?

This isn't all hypothetical either. Release a large quantity of sulfur dioxide, like one sees in a volcanic eruption, and you can measurably reduce the global temperature for a year or two. Capture carbon or other greenhouse gases and bury them. Somehow reflect a large amount of sunlight from hitting the Earth. Probably a dozen other good ideas exist- this is hacker news, I'm sure we could invent a hundred more.

The only challenge is going to be convincing the powers that be that it's on their economic interest to pay you to do so. But as sea level rise, it may quickly become self evident.

As others have stated, the GDPR have been a talking point in mainstream tech for 1 year, every one in the business with tabs on the current state have known this for at least 2 years when it was adopted. It was proposed 5 years ago, and before that we had DPD [1] from 1995 which more or less states the same, but without ability for the EU courts to do anything about companies not honoring it. It was up to the member states DPA to do this.

Companies that cannot handle GDPR was breaking EU law in the first place and probably have since "The Internet" was a thing. If GDPR puts your business down, then good riddance. You'd gambled with the law and now pay the price.

The article had VERY little to say about AI. Nothing described in the piece is anything more than what physical/online retailers, Amazon, Facebook, et al do to retain customers and drive sales.
It doesn't matter, though. The way your brain is wired, if you read one article denying climate change for every article you read that warns about it, your brain will consider the two hypotheses about equally likely, and you'll probably believe the more comforting one.

That way, it doesn't matter that there's a shitload of significant evidence to one and only circumstantial evidence to the other. Your brain just goes by volume.
MobileFaceNets: Efficient CNNs for Real-Time Face Verification on Mobile
One thing is completely curious to me. All around the thread there are some people saying that they will block EU users.

I wonder how people from other parts of the world are understanding this and how do they look to the site like that? I mean, this legislation that is designed to protect people and their data is making them such a problem to rather block roughly 500 milion people. I personally would have a huge trust issue, but this is not about me, what do non EU, who don't run any site (conflict of interest) guys think?

I would for instance rather put a huge mark on all pages "GDPR compliant, protecting data even for non EU visitors" or something like that and try to get some money out of that. But that is just me.
> But do you remember when the EU outlawed environmentally shitty lightbuilbs and everyone said we were going dark because it was impossible to do anything else? Today 95% of lightbuilbs are LEDs because of that.

And now we are finding out LED lights are bad for our eyes and our sleep, so we may go blind sooner and die sooner.

Ok that might be a bit extreme, and besides there is an efficient incandescent tech that will probably come back and save us (and you can argue the EU helped that too)... but my point is the EU has good intents but their creations seem polarised into either extremely preemptive or extremely reflexive and are often premature and poorly thought out, fighting for something for the people but often without thought for how they will directly hurt the people.

For tech the EU isn't exactly unique in this respect though, the UK for instance recently tried to inact some pretty rediculous laws that undermine basic technologies that make the internet work.
The place I work does actually store personal data for a variety of reasons, and we also work for a bunch of other companies that do, and the path to GDPR compliance hasn't been painful. The biggest issue is, as you say, research, but if the sum of your data storage is an email address, a name, and a physical address, then you're hardly falling into any of the nuanced cases.

I'm not faulting the person, I'm just saying the response doesn't seem founded in firm reasoning, but in (self-admitted, by the link!) "I need to look into this but I haven't, so we're shutting down". This isn't a newsworthy event or "proof the GDPR ruins businesses".

There is no need to go back and modify backups.

You decide on a timeframe for deletion of backups (ie. X days). You keep a record of deletion requests you receive for X days. If you need to restore to a backup, you delete data again for the users that requested it.

Then you delete the backups and records of deletion (or the tables in it that contain personally-identified information) after X days.

Oh yes, how convenient that this argument is used to basically say "scientific consensus is wrong, science goes by truth, not by consensus". How odd that scientific consensus always seems to converge around the truth.

And all those colleagues say the situation is dire.

But trolls can't go after any sites. The only entity with the power to issue fines is the national regulatory entity.

Because the people who have the money to do it have absolutely no immediate incentive to do it.

EU does not work as USA in that regard. No private entity can sue for anything relating to GDPR, that is up to the EU courts and the DPAs. What they can do it highlight issues with the appropriate DPAs and if you make reasonable efforts I doubt that much will come from it.
> However, the mental cost a Rust programmer pays for that trade (due to borrow checker) seems too high for me if you can get the same thing simply by shifting your programming patterns slightly.

i remember reading about the stylo (multithreaded css styling) engine, something that has been tried times and times again to implement it in C++ without success: too complicated. sooner or later you'll get too-hard concurrency bugs and the project would be abandoned. and it wasn't just mozilla with firefox, google also failed to implement concurrent styling with chrome.

the blog post stated that this time they were successful _only because of rust_. the mental overhead of managing the borrow checker is far lower than the mental overhead of dealing with concurrency issues in a complex high performance project.

> I'm not sure if I should admire or condone this kind of attitude in a science related context.

It makes no difference whatsoever to the whole what you’ve pointed out here.

Throughout the video, she states she’s responding to critics. Her whole attitude is of teasing those who accuse her of not knowing what she does (calling her chips fake, etc).

When she says that, it’s perfectly clear that she’s being very (and I mean very) sarcastic.

We can discuss if her use of sarcasm is useful or not, but then we will be discussing the specifics of her presentation, not her skills at doing the chemical process she just demonstrated.

Since this is a video about “Making Microchips at Home”; since she’s responding to critics; I think we can allow her some room to throw some sarcasm to the mix, even if it does not work out completely as intended.

On a side note: it would be nice if people on the internet would allow others some “humanity"; by that meaning giving them room to err, like saying silly things when they are annoyed — instead of nitpicking bits of unimportant information.

The Internet is already too noiseful as it is.

That is a straw man argument. No matter what I hand over to a business or single person running a website, it's their choice to store this information.
