It's worthwhile to read many translations of this book. I find this really helps to "triangulate" the nuance and depth of the original. Inevitably, you come across translations that you like more, and others that you like less.

I was attracted to the Dao De Jing at a fairly young age. It took over a decade, though (as I was reading a related text—I can't remember which one, maybe the Zhuangzi), for it to suddenly dawn on me how alien this was from the way of reasoning that's been ingrained in me through the culture I was brought up in.

I had been able to extract tons of enjoyment (and, hopefully, insight) from them already at that point. But from then on, the daoist classics suddenly looked very different to me. They took on a depth that I hadn't seen in them before.

A related book I would recommend is Edward Slingerland's Trying Not to Try[1]. A very interesting dive into the concept of Wu Wei. His interpretations of the old texts get a little one/two dimensional at times, but he also brings along a lot of insight.

But it's a shitty air superiority platform, compared to its specialized predecessors, as the article highlights.

It's only a matter of time before anything manned aircraft can do, unmanned will be capable of. And likely more, since the unmanned won't have to keep the meat-bags behind the yoke alive or conscious.
It seems difficult to create a platform which securely moves said missiles. Although ships somewhat fill this role, they're still huge fairly immobile targets. I think the high speed ceiling/mobility of the sky is what makes a flying missile delivery platform better than one based on land or sea.
Agreed. Sounds like every employment contract I've ever read (and usually not signed).
I'm not disputing that it's biased in favor of larger companies.
This seems to be a little silly. Sure, that'd be cool, but I mean, he didn't claim to have manufactured his own oscilloscopes here either.
After a lifetime of being anti nuke, I do now believe Australia has to "nuke up".

I also believe now that we need at least 2 very large U.S. bases on our soil, and if the U.S. aren't interested then maybe the U.K. or the Europeans.

Expansionist countries could easily see Australia right now as a virtually undefended, resource rich sweet piece of fruit to be plucked, and given that Australia's traditional allies seem to be internally engaged, there's plenty of room for such expansionists to start laying the foundations that will allow them to exert such control in the future.
If your contact with EU customers is only accidental/incidental then I don't believe you're under the GDPR cover. [ https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-23/ ]
I think the GP is talking about things like provisioning AWS resources, not having root on the production box.

Anyone should be able to provision new resources without harming production. Most of the time you don't see this, because management has still not gotten it through their thick heads that in order for the business to move fast, devs need the agency to implement solutions fast.

Cost-cutting of AWS leads to one (or several!) groups that are the gatekeepers to AWS, purportedly in order to make it more "efficient" by everyone doing everything one way, or having one group of experts handle it. But that's just one group of plumbers handling repairs for an entire city. Leaks spring up and nobody is there to fix them, and meanwhile, the developer is sitting there staring at the leak, going "will you please just let me duct tape this leak so I can get back to work!?"
And how you will bring those missile on enemy territory?

> 2. Article 3(2): "This regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to:

a. The offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or

b. The monitoring of their behavior as far as their behavior takes place within the Union."

This doesn't seem to discuss intent at all? I mean, we could mince words about what offering a service means, but that doesn't seem productive and unless there is some other part of the law redefining this, won't make me comfortable.
That’s not a bad idea for an app. Maybe get an alert with a random passage every day or something.
Odd. I looked at it and thought it was a brilliant use of English, on par with anything James Joyce did.
That's the US, yes. EU regulatory bodies are generally rather lenient when you attempt to follow the regulation.

And unlike you say the law does say the regulatory body for the GDPR has to consider the business needs of smaller businesses and adjust their fines accordingly if they even hand them out.

There is a good flowchart in this thread too, I recommend to study it.

Yep. The book 'Quiet your mind and get to sleep' has this sort of advice.

For me something that helped was a cheap fitness watch for $29 that showed me how much sleep I was getting according to the watch.

This certainly isn't the case for everyone, but for people who have some trouble sleeping sometime, possibly exacerbated by disruptions to sleep due to small children or something it's very useful.

Compliance is trivial and involves steps that are already best-practices anyway. You won't need to split any atoms.

https://techblog.bozho.net/gdpr-practical-guide-developers/

The penalty isn't meant to be something you afford. It's a penalty. (It's a feature, not a bug.) I'm having a really hard time not being sarcastic right now but compliance with the law might also end up being an economical option worth looking into. Cheaper than lawyering-up for being sued by shysters for non-compliance, and cheaper than being penalized for non-compliance.

Mind you, taking whatever-it-is off the internet is fine too. I totally understand. What I don't like is all the whiny sanctimony and martyrdom. "Yes I'm taking my thing off the internet, but first I'm going to make a big deal about what a tragedy it is for the world." Um no. The fact that your thing is a "small business" means few people care about it. (Sad to say. More people care about Facebook than about you. That's why they're the big incumbent.) And it emphatically doesn't mean for example, that you're some hallowed, heroic underdog who deserves protection, especially when you won't even afford the same to your own users and their data.
Just putting out next step learning challenges. I'm loving what he's doing, it's a great project, I hope he continues it by exploring different aspects of it.

Other challenges include smaller lithography and CMOS fabrication using a self-aligned gate process. But there are pitfalls ahead, including chemicals that can kill with in trace doses...

I fabricated my own ICs as a teen in my freshman year of college as part of our program, but that obviously wasn't at home. It was still awesome, just going through the entire process.
You don't have enough money to nuke up, unless you plan a much bigger defense budget.
It would be worth reconsidering if and when the Trump influence proves itself to be durable, not before, not reflexively.

The thing to remember is that Trumpism is a combination of cynicism towards prior experts/elites, and Donald’s extreme narcissism. The latter is certainly not durable.
something that's always worked for me: slow your breathing and take medium-deep breaths while continually telling yourself nothing but "I am breathing deeply". I'm usually out in 5 minutes.
Totally, but there are unlikely to be many ways to structure the law to give users consent over their data and not burden business as usual. Even responding to DMCA requests is burdensome. You can automate it like Google has tried but it fails sometimes and has become a major technical and personell challenge.

I don't want to trivialize compliance. Even ostensibly simple requirements are never quite that, and every second spent on them is time not spent on your product.
There are missiles fired from the ground which have long range. Since they don't have to be carried by a plane, they can be bigger.

Or if you really want missiles fired from a plane, they can be fired from an unmanned plane.

You just can't impress everyone.
Did you try using the Beta version?
The speed limit analogy is terrible. Or maybe perfect, for my point.

Because speed limits are not enforced, everyone goes somewhere between 5 and 15 mph over, all the time. But catch a pissy cop, or one in a town that uses speed traps as a revenue source, and you can get pinched for hundreds of dollars arbitrarily. Yeah, the jackhole that burns tire at 110 past a school-zone is most likely to get pinched, but almost everyone on the road could.
Money doesn't have to change hands to create a GDPR obligation. And if you mean "HTTP transactions," it's a fundamental shift in the nature of the internet to block countries by default and enable them only after studying and complying with local regulations. Maybe it's an inevitable or even healthy shift, but it's certainly not a "usual" dynamic today.
100%.

The book that helped with my insomnia (cured it, actually) more than anything else I tried (incl over the counter sleeping pills, CBT, etc) was "acceptance and commitment therapy."

Specifically the book "The Sleep Book."
Why “bubble”? Their business is more profitable than crack cocaine, and their profit per employee is over a million dollars. Seems like fair compensation for once.
The official EU guidance (not in the text of the GDPR) clarifies what offering means - it requires some evidence of intent to target the EU, rather than merely not blocking the EU.

While that point of guidance won't have region-wide binding force of law unless the European Court of Justice rules that way, I'd be extremely surprised if any national supervising authority or court system would contradict such a document, since the official guidance's reading is clearly among the possibilities consistent with the text (admittedly not the only one) and predictability of this kind of law is key to achieving its goals. Even if they do, they wouldn't likely penalize people with more than a warning if they haven't announced their weird interpretation in advance.
That may be true, but the linked article paints the F-35 in a pretty negative light as an air superiority platform.
What does this approach have that openshift doesn't provide?
I am mostly making this up, but it would seem to me that a fleet of autonomous drones would be far superior to any fighter. You could get many drones for the price of one fighter. They can carry more fuel and/or ammunition, and they could fly maneuvers that are impossible with human pilots. I could also imagine that if you have several planes in one area, you could better defeat stealth by having each plane "paint" laser targets for the others, or by using their radars together.
Also R and MATLAB/octave are array based languages too. You may consider Fortran one too. But none of them have things like dyads.
My question wasn't so much about doing the analysis, but about being unable to do it without fetching keys and decrypting on a per-log-entry basis. Not only would this be insufferably slow, I've not seen a feature like this in any COTS software and quite frankly seems incredibly difficult to write properly and securely, specifically the key management portion.
I can relate to this too - I also sometimes feel anxious when going to sleep, there's something strange about going away and coming back and continuity of self. I think the only reason people aren't afraid of it is that everyone is used to it.

One thing that helped was recognizing that I've never failed at eventually going to sleep - which then relaxes me and makes it easier to actually fall asleep.

For what? The man is happy doing his things. Who are you to judge him?
This is pure nonsense.

You might learn that the GDPR only applies to businesses located in the EU or who pursue EU citizens. It does not mean that if you Google Analytics and an EU citizen stumbles upon your site you are suddenly in violation. It is not some sort of magical global law that applies to every business in the world.

The amount of FUD and ignorance and nonsense about the GDPR is getting out of control. Why not do some research? Or actually read the regulation?

Anyways I see it's a lost cause but I find it remarkable how much BS about this topic exists from a community that prides itself on its technology acumen.
Who exactly would have capability and resources to mount an invasion and then supply the necessary force to occupy a territory the size of Australia.
Same, but I also need to note that I have a life-long insomnia that attacks every now and then which might be affecting this pattern.
Did you miss the whole part of that blog post that talks about legitimate interest?
True, they are not. The opt-out analytics is not allowed and they are sending the data to 3rd party (google) without user consent. I could also argue about some minor things, but allowing google to track users without consent is a major breach (but they can also simply fix it by using for instance piwik).

That's crazy, in Russia even in Moscow a cost of building an apartment never went over $50,000, and may be as low as $20,000 in the regions. And these apartment are quite decent, maybe with moderate quality flaws, but these are not ghettos.

> The end result of this is that EU citizens will be the ones that suffer from lack of access to technology and the smart ones will end up VPNing into non-EU networks to stay on the cutting edge.

Right, because everyone who lives in Europe is too incapable of coming up with technology and businesses themselves (that have the added benefit of being GDPR compliant) and without access to American firms they will surely fall into a technological dark dark age.

Instead of viewing GDPR as some nightmarish spectre coming to ruin everything, why not think of it as a potential opportunity? You're familiar with making money in a borderline no-holds-barred approach, now try and come up with some innovative business ideas that _don't_ rely on scraping and selling as much data as mechanically possible to prop up a business. This is a great for the disruption hackernews loves so much.
That's certainly the risk when going for this sort of strategy. Basically prepaying and hoping the stronger party will actually deliver when the time comes.

Id be interested to see how that would play out though. Like at what point in poor military decisions do generals ignore the president? Like hypothetically if China started landing troops and pillaging, and the pres have the military a stand down order, I can only assume hed get ignored/a bullet.

I wonder where letting allies fall lands in that. If military command/intelligence has data showing that to be safe the US needs allies, and that if they don't defend Australia then the rest of their allies will immediately all run to hide behind whoever, then what are the chances of the president waking up to a spook in his bedroom telling him that if he doesn't change his decision then he's going to have a heart attack very soon?
Why is it a bubble when they have an incredibly successful business that prints money where the people building the service are being rewarded for helping build such a successful outcome?
China.

Also worth noting that the force needed to occupy a country is mainly proportional to the population.
Facebook now literally has to obliterate your PII when requested. That’s awesome.
All countries have their respective .edu, .gov, .org etc and if you consider them I think my point still stands.
I think this is a difference in background. A programmer I am friends with found Haskell a nightmare to read because (we finally realized) it looked more like math than ALGOL. Because I my background I have parsers for both approaches that are equally strong, whereas his parser for ALGOL like syntax was strong and his one for math was much weaker. Whenever we crossed that notational divide and switched mental parsers, the incidental mental load he was subject to skyrocketed.
I wonder if it may be generalized to development teams. Do you think well-built REMOTE dev teams with effective leadership would perform better than dev teams that spend time on interaction?

Why then there are so few remote positions? Should we blame the lack leadership, lazy management, and flawed team building for the overcrowded and overpriced SF Bay Area?

The US already uses them that way, albeit mostly for submarine-to-ground missiles instead of submarine-to-air.
Really ? Australia has the 13th highest GDP in the world.

Higher than Israel, Pakistan and North Korea which all have them.
This is an excellent example of the problems people are worried about though.

Q: is it possible to be in violation of the gdpr in a situation where you could never know you needed to be compliant and have taken steps to avoid serving EU countries?

A, official: Yes.

A, unofficial: Most likely not if no one's having a bad day or has a bone to pick or is just being uppity.
It’s probably not possible. I wouldn’t map the (EU) GDPR on how a US-like legal system works. E.g. it’s very unlikely that the regulator seeks maximum penalties in the EU, and worst case you could go to court arguing that a penalty is non proportional compared to other cases (and win)

The maximum fine is a cap, not a guideline.
> There are missiles fired from the ground which have long range. Since they don't have to be carried by a plane, they can be bigger.

Current generation of US surface to air missiles has range of about 200 miles, which is not that much.

> Or if you really want missiles fired from a plane, they can be fired from an unmanned plane.

Maybe, but what exactly you propose? Remove pilot from F-35? Or build something completely new?

We don't know if it's a thing. The past 40 years has been 1st and 2nd world nations showing how much of an advantage 2+ generations of technology brings.
>Compliance is trivial

Compliance depends on how well your understanding of of a bunch of fuzzy terms like "legitimate interest," "level of security appropriate to the risk," "necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed," "no longer than necessary," etc. align with 28 different regulators and judiciaries. That's as far from "trivial" as it gets. Bozho.net is not a lawyer, not your lawyer, and even if here were your top-tier lawyer specialized in data privacy he wouldn't have a clue what courts were going to take these things to mean in the context of GDPR, because there aren't any judgements yet. Security and minimization standards are also about "taking into account the state of the art" - do you know what the state of the art is, and is your organization capable of implementing it? An entirely plausible outcome here is that only the most advanced engineering organizations have technology that meets these standards.
The Homestead Act applied in the slave south, too, but the slave south did not grow wealthy nor did much of a middle class arise. It could not even provide shoes for the rebel army.

People are composed of cells that work together for a common purpose. Is a person a cell, to be treated the same way we treat actual cells?
