> most professional activity, such as entrepreneurship, scientific or career advancement occurs in that period of life

entrepreneurship and scientific advancement? Meh. Lots of evidence there are sweet spots for that well into your 50s and beyond.

Would you rather work an extra decade but live healthily into your 80s or 90s - or try to cram it all in so you can retire unhealthy and miserable in your 50s with your life cut short and dying before you reach 70?

I know that's not always the exact trade-off, but I'd rather get my full eight in every night and work productively into my 60s as a healthy person.

The idea that work and relaxation are two extreme, distinct periods of life makes sense for a coal miner, but most of us here, fortunately, as "knowledge workers," have the luxury to weave the two together until we get dementia.

It's an important order of magnitude. We are talking about religion here, and among other things, religions are tools for transmitting cultural knowledge and practices down through centuries and millenia. 550 years is not really such a long time for a religion.
Nothing in the GDPR says you must be able to delete your own data. It says that you may request a business delete your personal data, and they may have to comply if they don't have a legitimate business reason not to. There's a balancing test, not a blanket requirement that every web app be littered with delete buttons.

It's not about needing it in "the real world". It's about having fun. It's about the adrenalin rushing through your veins as the clock ticking down. It's about burst of joy when your brain just clicks and the invisible wall falls down, showing a path to the solution. I still do Putnam and IMO every year, I also occasionally take an hour or two during work and just solve Math problems. Solving problems is a hobby, just like video games.

I'm at the tail end too, and don't "get it" but I can see it for what it is, I think. I think for a number of people, money is more of an achievement than something you convert in to goods and services. It's a number on a leaderboard to track and I think likes/favorites/hearts on Social Media may be real similar and far easier to achieve since there is little to no risk and very little work required. They collect them for recognition, self-esteem and to rank higher on a leaderboard, not much more to it. They are earning that next level and winning a game.
Sure, but nothing has changed in that situation with GPDR coming into effect.

How do you expect the EU to enforce the GDPR extraterritorially? Like, do you expect the USA to comply with an EU request to impose a fine? Or do you think they'll be successful in pushing enforcement out through the target's customers and vendors, similar to US extraterritorial application of its financial laws on banks?

My personal guess is that everyone with shady business models will move offshore, and the EU will play a marginal game of whack-a-mole trying to coerce them through their vendors and customers, especially payment processors, similar to American enforcement of online gambling laws. I expect the GDPR to be effective on large companies that want to portray themselves as respectable, and ineffective on everyone else.
yes but the argument is that one hit from the gdpr can kill you and maybe even most likely will even if you're in reasonable health, and most other legislation you can survive a few hits if you're not already critical.
This is great news for OEMs - one less carrier to work on. Sprint was a pain to work with - their network requirements were the worst and they had horrible bloatware no one used that required to be extensively tested.
Same thing happens to me, if I have so much as a day or two without an alarm I just careen off into ridiculous sleeping patterns. I have to set alarms during the weekend just to keep on course. If I have a week or more off I start to run off 25 hour days with ~9-10 hours sleep a night, and turn completely nocturnal in a couple of weeks.
I didn't read the Forbes reference because ad block, but I'm willing to bet that is a pretty common expression among _observers_ of the tech startup/financing scene. Coming from a founder who's been cashing the "fools" checks... well I can only hope it's a lot less common.
> Is that really what you have in mind?

Well... obviously not! But:

1. learning to struggle successfully is far more important than mastering the chain rule.

2. If you start with excellent students, then you can set those students up to struggle on much harder and deeper questions.

My point, really, is that a curriculum that manages to not "lose" anyone will also fail to strike a good balance between "struggle" and "hand-hold" if 90% of your students start off as "Excellent".

The hardest part about designing a course is figuring out when students should struggle, and when to hold their hands. The answer will vary depending upon the quality of the students. Excellent teaching aimed at excellent students looks very different from excellent teaching aimed at mediocre students. Differentiating instruction is Teaching 101, and differentiation in universities often happens at the institutional or program level.

E.g., are Khan Academy's descriptions of the product rule better than Chicago's Math 160? For certain students, yes. For others, emphatically not! Neither option is "better" in an absolute sense, but each is definitely "better" for any given student.

There is nothing wrong with a course of study that's designed for the top 1% of high school graduates. And admissions mistakes do not equal bad teaching. On the contrary, torpedo'ing the entire curriculum to make sure that every student makes it through would be grossly irresponsible.
That's actually a great idea in my opinion, not sure why you were down voted. It seems that the incumbent large internet companies will easily be able to afford this burdensome regulation but new startups all the way through medium sized small businesses may struggle or even be suffocated by it. It would seem reasonable to have a tiered system where the penalties only kick in when the business has scaled.
I don't know how this helps T-Mobile be more competitive. Sprint uses an incompatible network, has a horrible brand, and its customers hate their carrier. Seems to me like this would slow down a 5G network implementation.

Nah, just for companies that trade personal information as if it was cattle feed. As an individual, I have no problem with the GDPR.

If you're doing business with companies doing business with the EU, you should probably comply. GDPR compliance requires certain affiliated businesses that are involved with the data you collect to also be compliant. The US-based company I work for is in the process of switching to Stripe for ACH invoicing because bill.com isn't going to be GDPR compliant.

Sure. At the end of the day though people shouldn't be using GDPR as an excuse to avoid making stuff or launching their projects. As long as you make a reasonable effort to do what people are asking for via email then you're probably not going to be the test case.
Wait, what did you end up doing in that scenario?

Yeah, IIRC almost none of the old Japanese wooden buildings are original. They all have a strong ship of Theseus theme going on, but philosophically the Japanese tend to view the building as the place and purpose and layout and not the individual boards that are used to build it so it doesn't get communicated.

Composition lends itself to point-free code, but not all point-free code is built from composition. By “it’s not compositional” I mean a few things:

1. Tacit programming in APL-family languages is very much about application of functions to arguments, not function composition; it’s just that the arguments can be made implicit in various ways, e.g., forks & hooks in J.

2. You can’t always extract a subexpression verbatim into a definition and have it work the same way, for example because you need to disambiguate whether a verb is being used monadically or dyadically.

3. Conversely, you can’t always do evaluation by just substituting the definition of a word into an expression where that word is used. How an expression is parsed depends on the types (well, parts of speech—noun, verb, adverb) of intermediate results and the context of the sentence.

Part of the reason for all this complexity is just that the language tries to be purely function-level (à la Backus’s “Can Programming Be Liberated from the Von Neumann Style?”), but not all terms denote functions. That’s why I prefer concatenative programming languages—they’re much simpler in structure because all terms do denote functions and your program is just a flattened dataflow graph (typically a post-order traversal).
In fact, yes. For example, the record-keeping requirements don't apply to most businesses with less than 250 employees. The DPO requirements don't apply to most businesses with less than 250 employees. The entire regulation doesn't apply if you don't target people in the EU and don't offer goods or services to people in the EU. Some of the requirements only apply if you process data on large numbers of people regularly, rather than occasionally. And there's a recital calling on member states that enact and enforce the regulation to pay special attention to the unique needs of micro, small and medium sized businesses.
Probably because, compared to the status of legal matters in the US, blaming _europe_ of all places for being legally murky is just mind boggling.
Thank you for this very practical list of suggestions. Reading through them it’s clear they go a long way. We do some of these things already. I’m going to keep this list around for more to practical things to do.
My experience even in computer science was that peers potentially offer more potential than lectures. I would be surprised if that were NOT the case for any degree.

With regards to my checked luggage - no electronics there - when traveling to/from/in the US, I always save those 'Inspected by TSA' placards, and place one prominently atop my clothes prior to closing and locking my bag.

Based on various physical telltales I utilize, the success rate of placing a used 'Inspected by TSA' placard in one's bag to deter searches is 100%, at least in my experience.

Since I started doing this, I haven't received any new 'Inspected by TSA' placards, either. So, that's another indicator of the technique's probable success rate.
- deletion of data

Deletion of data from all external services that you use and internal services. If you have some processed data from internal data pipelines you will have to clear that as well. What about error reporting services? Internal logs? I think for data backups you can have it encrypted and that works as a good alternative but if you have to delete data from there it is not at all feasible.

- store the data with best principles (i.e., instead of having ID and other stuff connected, centralize identifiying information and protect,use pseudonyms otherwise)

Even if in the main data stores you store them in a well normalized way. It becomes a pain to do the same thing to do the same in data pipelines, sinks etc. If you are having a reporting DB it would make sense to denormalize data there.
> but because it’s not compositional.

Isn't it? What do you mean by it because it is but maybe you mean something else?

Edit: answered below, let us read.

> I just think it would make it more popular.

I think many languages are not looking for 'more popular' per se, especially if they have to sacrifice the basic principles of the language that users/fans like about it. Like Arthur/k I hate scrolling and I already ache seeing the masses of (for me unnecessary) code you produce out of the beauty that is APL. I work most of my time in languages far more verbose, so please do not take the nice languages that do not have that away from me. It wouldn't be very hard to write a language on top of k/apl to do that though if you wanted to; like q on k, as long as you can translate back to and inspect the original, like q on k, then it's not too bad I guess.
Articles 15 and 17 (dealing with deletion and access) both contain a provision where if the request is unfounded or excessive, you may charge a reasonable fee. You cannot charge a fee for compliance with standard requests, and "reasonable" is something that would likely be argued in court.

I know that engineers have obviously done that math on this, but I still find it incredibly counterintuitive that they are not at least shaving off some velocity with any chutes or other aerodynamic surfaces (except of course there are the grid fins, but afaik those are primarily for steering the ballistic trajectory in the upper atmosphere at hypersonic speeds, and don't significantly alter the terminal velocity relevant to how much fuel you need for a hover burn).
Does anyone expect the GCHQ to get investigated based on its collection and use of private data?

I won't hold my breath that this will ever happen. For that reason (and many others) I expect that GDPR enforcement will be capricious and biased and used as a weapon against unpopular groups.

This post should be called “Deploying while maintaining HA” or something.

I thought of some questions:

How is the dev/test env kept up to date for integration/canary tests? When a new app/service is pushed to production does its build/image (AMI?) become the new dev/test env base image for everyone?

Do engineers decide which metrics are tracked by Kayenta? Does ops? How does this come together?

What about post deployment service monitoring / alerting? When is the dev team off the pager hook?

Do you assume that a successful deployment in us-west means it will be successful in us-east or is there an [integration] test done per region?

Just curious.
I've been running Lineage with microG on my Nexus 5X for about 5 months and I'm pretty neutral about the experience. I do cheat a little bit though -- I install Google Maps and Gboard. The biggest annoyance was updating from Android 7 to Android 8. I had to reinstall stock Android 8 on my Nexus to get the new firmware, then install Lineage with microG version 8. Quite annoying, but I suppose it was necessary. Other than that, I quite enjoy the extended battery life that comes with the ROM, I have 87% left now, after about 12 hours of very minimal use.

I don't use my phone too much, mostly just navigation, texting, email, HN, and reddit. Though I'm considering switching back to stock for the better Google hangouts experience.
It’s safe to say people create hobby projects that fit within their ethical framework. This is about forcing a very slanted set of ethics on pretty much every creator.

I personally find regulation like this abhorrent and against my morals. Sadly I don’t have the money to fight the EU so my creations will be blocked to its citizens going forward.

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.

That's just not true. The West hoped that would be the case when Xi took charge, but it's gone in the opposite direction since then. How many chat apps can you use where the CCP isn't listening in on your conversation? They practice wide scale censorship on their own social media, Western social media sites are blocked, and important sources of information like Wikipedia and the New York Times are blocked too.

I have heard same sentiment from other defensive folks. My argument is that when most people are paying $450 for a ticket, organizers ought to provide better solution for toilet. I am not asking for more services or 5-Star hotel grade services. Just something that is less stinky, more hygienic. In the financial disclosure by BRC, you would notice that a very tiny fraction of the revenues goes to low-income subsides (it’s essentially first block of $80 tickets) and artists grants. Even tinier fraction goes to providing toilets. Most of the money goes to “payroll” which remains undisclosed.
