Good point. For sure Japan wants in on the development. Jobs is how politicians justify the insane price tag to tax payers. If Japan lowers the cost of F22 to below the F35 that would be a huge blow to the JSF.
Business writing suffers from an epidemic of post-fact rationalization. Looking back, it is trivially easy to parse out whether something someone said was “insightful wisdom” or “useless”. I am continually amazed by the scope and depth of this hindsight bias disease.

While this author tries to make a point that bezos is a good writer, I am afraid that this is just riding a wave of bezos worship (like Elon worship, Jobs worship, Buffett workship, [‘name successful business person, preferably, billionaire’] worship) — after bezos’ company is seeing good results.

I wish more business writing was devoted to 1) suggesting ways so that people have their own original thoughts 2) Discussing merits of strategies before they become successful 3) Discussing problem solving frameworks 4) early days of companies when they weren’t successful etc. I believe learning about the first 100-300 days of companies would be very instructive. Someone should write a book about that :-)

Then I moved to finance where regulatory requirements mean that root is unacceptable.

I paraphrase: what most posters here seem to miss is that most chemist cannot be bothered to read up on environmental rules. It should be my right to dump toxic waste wherever I want, because I am a chemist.

Sorry, but society doesn't work like that. You are always responsible for your actions no matter if you earn a profit or not. And not bothering to read up is also not an excuse.

Companies take risks. This is just another one, that has to be managed like all other.
I am assuming no such thing.

Just because you are not making revenue doesn’t mean that you don’t have to abide by regulation. The GDPR is intended to solve a very real and present issue; if you run a side project that deals with personal data, then the fact that it makes no money doesn’t mean that your mistreatment of personal data isn’t harmful!

If you do not see the differences between collecting PII, and communicating your opinion in public, I'm not sure that a good faith discussion is possible.

You don't have to implement any new features to comply with the GDPR. You just need to be clear with users about what data you are collecting and what you do with it.

I really think some people are just completely blowing this up into something it's not, probably because the only thing they've read about it is others scaremongering.

I don't see how fairness even applies. It's a negotiation; you support their protocol if you get enough in exchange. And sometimes what they offer is not worth it.
However, they are making it clear they are not attempting to serve EU users. Which means they are not covered by GDPR.
Not necessarily. Both the customer-side component (IdP) and SaaS-side component (SP) just have to be reachable by the client. If the customer org has its clients on a private network, SAML can function just fine without being accessible from the Internet. Just put the IdP on the private network and the SaaS can run anywhere the client can reach.

Look up SAML ‘profiles’ to see the flows. There are exceptions to the above but they are rarely required.
> If you followed the spirit of the pre-GDPR rules, you would almost certainly be compliant without much work even for the GDPR....

Have you deleted all of your blog's comments and/or asked everyone who previously commented on your blog for new GDPR compliant consent? Because that's one of the GDPR Graveyard events I'm seeing - people deleting their personal blogs and disabling comments as the easiest way to remain compliant.
There are lots of guides out there designed for humans.

Essentially, all you have to do is tell your users what data you are collecting and how you will use it.

Also, if a user asks for their data, you give it to them, and if a user asks for their data to be deleted, you delete it. I imagine if either of these things were to happen today, you would do as they wished GDPR or not.
The flip side of this argument is that we weren’t seeing a whole lot of new Googles or Facebooks without the GDPR.

I don’t think you’re going to disrupt Google or Facebook without trying something new, and the GDPR certainly forces startups to think different.
I'd rather block all EU IPs than bother to break working technology that is operated and maintained freely.

How do you revoke PII from a distributed information system, like anything using a blockchain or distributed version control? You don't.
From that article:

> "While we don’t yet have U.S.-EU negotiated civil enforcement mechanisms for the GDPR (and it is unknown whether we ever will), there is still the application of international law and potential cooperation agreements between U.S. and EU law enforcement agencies, which have been increasing in recent years."

That sounds pretty murky to me, more a statement that she expects regulators to cooperate than one that current law provides a clear path. Not that I can find a more confident article in the other direction, of course...
The word 'deserve' is not used in the article. I think you're missing the point by laying that on them (and by suggesting they're all killers). But counseling and help forming constructive relationships is what they need. On that we agree.

This is a tough read, and I admire the author for tackling the subject, especially in the wake of the recent killings. To even suggest sympathy for a group that are so manifestly unsympathetic is brave. And the incels themselves, man, I just want to shake these guys and say, "It's not all about sex. It's not all about you. Get over yourself. Get a life."

No one deserves sex. But I don't think we're doing the world any favors by piling on to people who are clearly in pain, no matter how much it's of their own making.
There is nothing about a screenshot in the law.

The law says you have to be able to prove the user ticked the box and provide an audit trail for it, IIRC some recitals mentioning that you should be able to reproduce the exact agreements the user made (ie, either in text or as a screenshot) so that you can later show the user and any regulatory body that asks what they agreed on.

I know you didn't intend to, but you've nailed the problem: the ambiguity and doubt. Most (<100%) * most (<100%) is a fraction times a fraction, never a good equation if the upside is low.

I doubt the StreetLend dude made much cash out of this project, so why bother? It was likely just a convenient excuse to kill a side project that had little value that sucked a lot of time, but still, the ambiguity no doubt helped push him towards this outcome.

> Such a list would be politically really bad for politics in the EU

Why so? I'd be happy to see such a list of shame. You know, companies already quoted here on HN as "clearly unable to get the consent" (of the people whose data they're processing). Let's see who they are and what they were doing.
Choosing a mode of transportation is something you do.
I am absolutley speechless about the number of people who seem to consider data protection to be an unreasonable burden for a company. Complying with GDPR is pretty straightforward:

- Don’t keep data unless you have to

- Get explicit consent for keeping data

- Keep the data you have secure

- Allow users to see their data and know how it’s used

- Allow users to delete their data

This is inline with regulation in other fields: worker rights, food hygiene, health and safety etc.

I look forward to seeing your list, because it will be a list of companies you are lucky you will never transact with.
This is extremely fun to play around with! My coworkers are looking at me funny, but it's worth it!

Well, sorry but the parent only mentioned surface details.

>Gyms can be alienating to anyone at any age. So can smells, music, etc.

That's a general statement, and it doesn't say much. So? One could always find another gym. Gym practice is even more difficult and alienating than bad playlists and too much cologne for most people -- maybe one should focus on that?

Besides, if we quit every time there was something remotely alienating, even more so if it was "smells" and "music", we wouldn't go very far. Sorry, but this is one of "oh, the humanity" kind of situations.
But I have my doubts that they just have some simple biological need that's so easily satisfied with a prostitute. I also have the feeling that poverty or being an economic loser underlies this social phenomena, rather than simply unmet sexual needs.
The difference is the size of the aggregated dataset on you and those you are associated with, and how it might be sold, augmented etc. Granted, some places it might be legal to sell cctv footage too - but it will also fall under the GDPR (not the GDPR alone, there are surveillance bills and "ant-terror" provisions... But there's one remedy for government overreach (throw the government, through elections or protest) another for private overreach: government regulation/laws).
Webserver logs should for most intents be covered under legitimate interest as part of securing your network. As long as you rotate your server logs, which is default for any distro installation (AFAIK), you don't have to delete those when a user requests them.
You make this assertion elsewhere in the thread. It is incorrect. The entirety of the legislation is 88 pages long and it is really quite straightforward (full link preserved) [1].

Here is a set of (easily available) interactive tools, explainers and guidelines from ICO in the UK which explicitly outline what compliance looks like and what steps you can take to achieve and demonstrate it [2]. It’s available as a 162 page PDF, if you insist on counting pages, but much of it relates to the processing of sensitive data or data relating to children which the majority or orgs can skip.

Can we go back and see what HN users views about the EU Cookie Law was, before the law was put into implementation? Perhaps we will also see hearty support for it, as we now see with the GDPR - when the EU cookie law is just regarded as a nuisance now.
You can. You just need to think about it and have the correct controls in place.

If you choose to block all EU IPs instead of implementing the most basic data security and retention policies, then it’s for the best that EU users are not able to use your compromised service.
Worth adding that there is great variability of the half-life of caffeine in different people, in part due to different phenotypes of the enzymes responsible for its metabolism (among other variables). For instance, I metabolize it slightly slower (if you can trust 23andMe SNP data enough for that kind of a prediction), so it could be even longer for me. iirc nicotine has also been shown to speed up caffeine's metabolism.
I think it's quite useful anyway, to see all these translation efforts - you can compare them to fingers pointing at the moon.

What is your rewrite rule for reducing (set! var value) to application?

For iteration and selection, did you just turn everything into lambdas? E.g.

(if x y z) -> (__if_fun (lambda () x) (lambda () y) (lambda () z))

If you minimize the special forms, you have fewer cases in the expanding code walker; but then the compiler has little information for producing good code.

Note that a compiler doesn't necessarily just let every instance of function application be function application. If the above expansion for if is forced upon you as a compiler writer, you can recognize the __if_fun function as a built-in and open-code it, effectively undoing the reduction to function application.

Check that all arguments are lambdas (and diagnose if they aren't zero-argument lambdas) destructure them and turn into an open-coded branching construct.

The cost for fewer code walking cases in the macro expander ends up being more cruft in the compiler.

About let to lambda: in non-toy implementations, you almost always want to go the other way: recognize lambdas which can be turned into lets.
The biggest problem is figuring out what things won't even exist because of this overreaching and ultimately pointless law.
You cannot force peers of any decentralized distributed system to forget data. They can pretend to and appear as compliant peers and yet retain the data.
Fact, Google ships an operating system with the userspace written in Java the language, making use of a subset of Java standard library.

Fact, Google created a schism on the Java compatibility story by only providing a subset, thus forcing Java developers to write Android specific libraries.

Fact, if Google actually cared about Java they would have bought the Java assets from Sun, after helping driving them to the ground, as they were aware Sun was short on cash and would never sue them.

Now we can all enjoy a broken compatibility story up to Java 8, while Java 10 is out there and the distance will only increase.

Android is just as bad for Java portability as J++ was.

But hey, it is the nice "do no evil" corporation against the big bad lawyer corporation.

This is probably good advice for people who have occasional insomnia.

But if you have insomnia more regularly, especially for days at a time, or you consistently don't feel rested despite believing that you've slept, you really should try to talk to a doctor - not to ask for sleeping pills (although that may be a result), but to start the process of finding out if there's a larger problem that can be treated.

I deal with delayed sleep onset, which is livable - it just means that it takes me longer to fall asleep, and occasional insomnia on top of it wouldn't be a big deal.

But I also suffer from a REM-related parasomnia which apparently has never been officially described or named, so instead gets stuck in the "Other parasomnias - unspecified" bucket. Basically once I fall asleep, the NREM phases look perfectly normal, but once I enter REM, I suffer multiple arousals (basically I wake up, but for too short a period to be aware that I'm awake). So rather than going through REM phases, I spend that time waking up multiple times per minute.

Unfortunately so far nobody has been able to suggest a treatment. Gabapentin helps a little, but it's far from a solution.
The key is that the non-complaining people also "sleep badly" (and fewer hours).

So whether they complaining insomniacs don't feel good and thus complain, or complain and thus don't feel good, we at least know that it's not the sleeplessness (as it is common to both groups).
