You are not going to get fined by the EU for that happening. The sites issuing the tracking cookies are the ones in breach, not you.

That's a misinterpretation of the law. We can indeed be held responsible for that - it's no different than putting a pixel on ourselves. The burden is on us to know what we are including on pages under GDPR.

Most of the people in favor of this law, who claim it's not a big deal unless you have bad intentions, haven't neither read it nor spoken to legal experts about it, and are not in charge of having to comply with it themselves. If they were, most would be singing a different tune. I am not arguing that there wasn't a need for some reasonable limits on tracking. But GDPR is an atrocious law designed to allow the governments of EU countries to reach into the pockets of companies in other parts of the world (especially the US). This serves a dual purpose: to make it easier for EU Internet companies to flourish by sucking down the capital of their foreign competitors, and filling government coffers with money they aren't entitled to. That is how this law will be used, regardless of the well-intentioned hopes of those that support it.
I use keybase to store a keypass db locked with a yubikey and a passphrase. I have a backup yubikey, and a paper backup in a sealed envelope in a safe to recreate the required yubikey. I also keep the pass phrase in a different keypass db. When i write it out it definitely sounds a bit like ‘turtles all the way down.’

I now store a backup of that keypass db, because there was a very short inability to mount the private keybase directory which had me quite nervous and feeling foolish for not already having a backup.
> Furthermore, I think the next popular network would bill itself as being anti-FB.

They can try to claim that, but any business that stores people's photos, personal profiles, posts, messages, etc. would have everything it needed to become just as bad for privacy as Facebook if they wanted to. They would need to convince people that they would not do bad things with the data. But even if we trusted them, they could change their minds at any time, or hackers could steal the data.

The only way to prevent such data from being stolen is to never collect it -- but a social network without that kind of data would not be very social.
> Signal is great, but it solves a very different problem. It's a good replacement for talking to your best friends on your phone.

Riot does this pretty well, and when it's not alpha/beta, it'll probably do it really well.
'beautiful soft landing' ? really?
at the beginning of the video she said the capsule will touch the ground at 1-2 mph speed because the rockets will come on kicking up dust and all. no visible dust and speed went from constant 16-17 mph in last 5 seconds to 0.
Did the rockets fail?

> He said the site does not make money. So why would he spend more of his time to make the changes needed to be compliant?

I'm honestly wondering what the law previously said regarding data protection. The Dutch WBP from 2001 already covers everything that he would have to do under GDPR given this website, so unless the UK has some very weird laws (or unless we're weird), nothing would change. Perhaps an extra tickbox on signing up that says "yeah yeah I'm really very aware that my data is shared with third parties".

Most likely, this is a good excuse to go "I refuse to read the long legalese [even if it's 95% the same as before] and I'm just going to quit this loss-turning website without the community turning sour on me because I have a good excuse".
“Quality” is subjective
Of course, some people need admin capabilities. But a senior developer? Nah.

Engineers whose specific job it is to admin infra, yes.

Logging is great, but it's a 'we are owned, how do we get them out' measure - we want to avoid getting to that point.

edit: Of course, this all depends on your threat model, posture, maturity, etc. I'm just saying - we have lots of very good reasons to lock devs out.
> men in Japan who sleep less than six hours a night are 400-500% likelier to have a heart attack

Seriously? People who sleep less might be at risk of all sorts of health problems, but not necessarily because they sleep less - people generally sleep less because they're doing [strenuous or destructive activity]. And it's much more likely that partying / working late into the night causes health problems, rather than solely the lack of sleep.

Correlation ≠ causation

FWIW services kinda like this already exist — there are marketplaces for "social influencers" to buy content.
He was a health nut before it was popular.

Lifted weights, ran nearly every day, ate a Mediterranean diet, low body fat, trim waist, healthy body weight, and a decent amount of muscle. He also did not eat much during the workday, so was effectively unintentionally doing intermittent fasting as well.

Ironically, one of his reasons for sleeping less was to have time to fit exercise into his hectic schedule.

His diabetes manifested as unexplained weight loss and muscle wasting.

So, no, he was not your "typical" diabetes patient.
> Did it turn a profit? No, sadly not, but running at a loss was fine as my day job covered the bills.

It seems the root of the issue would be financing the changes.

In a way, looking further into the regulations to clear how to deal with ambiguous parts or even straight hire a lawyer to look at the details would be a simple move if the expense could be justified.

Could it be summed up as “unexpected but mandatory changes kill unprofitable business” ?
Dumb in the sense of "will not say anything, not complain nor ask question", you know, literally mute.
I'm not sure I understand: the linked book is meant for high-school and college students, or anyone participating regularly in programming contests:

> The book is especially intended for students who want to learn algorithms and possibly participate in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) or in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). Of course, the book is also suitable for anybody else interested in competitive programming.

Anyone in the target audience of the book will encounter most of this frequently enough; I definitely didn't have the experience (when I was in college and doing competitive programming, over a decade ago) that I was forgetting most of it.

Of course, if someone is not interested in competitive programming and never uses any of the knowledge they're likely to eventually forget it; it's just like learning a bit of French or group theory (say) and not touching it again for years — it's possible to forget. But not sure why that's irritating; it's just the nature of learning, at least after a certain age or below a certain threshold of practice.

> he decided to shut it down using GDPR as a vague justification?

That's my theory as well.

It's just too bad that he drags GDPR through the mud with this as well, since there are indeed a bunch of people (just like anyone can, apparently be against net neutrality) who would prefer things to remain lawless. They'll point to this article as justification, after which the other party will have to go and read it thoroughly and attack its points, and win that sub-argument, before they're even back to square one with the original discussion.

As she said, it happens in the last milliseconds. You can see the cloud of dust kicked up just before impact at 49:00 in the video — that the speed reduction didn't make it to the on-screen indicator is probably more a reflection of the short time window than the rockets failing.

Compare to the nominal landing at 1:14 in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSDHM6iuogI
There was another site that hosted 80+ versions that I scraped a long time ago and made this:
http://tao.scrame.com

It shows a random passage from a random translation, with an attribution link to the long dead parent site. I should probably dump the db back to the constituent pieces, enduring issues and all.

Initially it was a test for rails, but I rewrote it in php ages echo.
On the surface, yes -- but Moses (for whatever reason) hated the subways, and was to some extent responsible for the neglect that made the system a wreck by the late '70s. (For those who have complaints about the way things are now, it was worse.)

In any case, a lot of the subway art described here was from before the '30s -- many of the stations described are part of the original IRT line, which opened 1904.
GDPR is going to be a tax on software for a good chunk of time, and probably a decent source of employment for engineers, as companies wake up and realize that they now have to deal with it. Unless there specifically are requirements to make deleting user data easy, or even possible, that's probably been punted on for years in most software products.
It's a very complex law subject to unique interpretations in the courts of 28 unique countries.

In the UK, GDPR will replace the current legislation (Data protection Act 1998) https://www.itgovernance.co.uk/data-protection

The same will happen across the entire EU.

It's not a very complex law subject (whatever that is) You do need to do some research and spend some time in consideration but it is not beyond the wit of man.
CD4009 is a buffer. If you connect its input to its output, then you get a bit of SRAM, not an amplifier.

CD4049 is an inverter. If you do the trick above then you indeed get an amplifier, nonlinear and with poorly-controlled gain but an amplifier nonetheless. This isn't some kind of Easter egg; an inverter is just a high-gain amplifier that's usually allowed to saturate, so it fundamentally just does that.

Such amplifiers are not very good, but they're fast-ish and cheap. They're often used for crystal oscillators. The preferred logic series these days is 74HCU. That's "unbuffered" logic, where your inverter really is just one CMOS inverter, and not a string of three like usual. That makes the gain more stable, since the three inverters wouldn't match perfectly, and would each end up biased somewhere different.
Yep. We need to treat driving while sleep-deprived like driving while drunk. This has some societally untenable implications: new parents, people whose jobs/commutes/responsibilities do not leave time for enough sleep, people with on-call jobs, etc. need to have their driver licenses revoked. But I can at least set this standard for myself: if I haven't slept enough, I don't drive.
> The implications of the current legal position you describe are troubling.

No more so than actual real estate being seized by governments under Eminent Domain laws.
Yes. One of my worst and most shameful memories is nearly falling asleep at the wheel.

The guy apart from crying without ever having read those 80 pages (english language text), doesn't see the big picture. The fact that I can force Facebook, Google, etc. to tell me what they are doing with my data (which I btw had given consent to treat like yesterday's newspaper), and subsequently asking the various Cambridge Analytica's the same question, gives the people a power they never had.

Now they do.

Any insight about whether it will survive, and effect on rates?
What if you do have the money and could indeed make time and also want to do a lot of travel, have awesome friends, eat nice dinner, do weekend partying, and own all those things, but you are simply too lazy?

A lot of the social media personas are made to impress, a proof that fun was had and life was liven, but nobody can really prove those things unless they're also eye witnesses, and people probably wouldn't question the authenticity of someone's social postings unless they do not match the financial or social status of such person.

Say you do want to maintain this "perfect" social image and are just lazy do all the things yourselves, then would it make sense to hire someone to do the things you want to for you and post it on your behalf, or photoshop yourself into every image, and tell you that you totally could have done exactly that?

Is faking a unpractical life style different from faking a practical one?
I don't think that will work. For example, I just admitted that this happened to me in a sibling comment, and immediately my reflex was to delete it.

Then I thought better of it. We are all human, and we're all pressed for time. We're not out partying. No one drinks to do their jobs.
I don't think this is right. With RDS, for instance, you can reset the 'master' password from within the RDS console. (The RDS service itself retains the real superuser, the user RDS creates for you has some privileges dropped.)

Take EC2 as another example. If you have volume attach/detach permissions and EC2 start/stop permissions, you can stop an arbitrary instance, detach its root volume, reattach it to an instance of your choosing where you have login access, log in, add whatever you want to that volume (including rootkits, etc.), and reattach it back to its initial instance.

Giving someone AWS admin should be considered analogous to giving someone the keys to your racks in a datacenter. There really are many surprising ways that an AWS admin can take control of your infrastructure. Can you put countermeasures in place? Sure, but it's a huge attack surface

You're just citing the article, which your parent comment seems to have read. How is this a justification? Like, I can face huge consequences if I kill someone, so I just don't do it. Similarly, just mention that you're sharing data with third parties, and act on emails that ask you to remove data of an account... it's not rocket science.

And it's not as if you'll get fined €20 million if one email ended up in a spam box and you didn't remove someone's account in time... it's really blowing things out of proportion to mention that without further qualification. The big money is to threaten companies like Microsoft, not small businesses that don't even make a profit.

The first reason is that contemporary trends in architecture tend to favor more utilitarian designs.

The second reason is that public projects have a real problem trying to control labor costs during projects. The most artistic and aesthetically pleasing works of craftsman ship taking time and money public projects can't support right now.

You must not have much experience with government-types. Laws are always used to the furthest extent that they can be. In this case, the EU has declared itself an Internet dictator, with the authority to reach into the pockets of foreign companies that have no presence in the EU. This will be a boon to government coffers, at least for a few years, and then most foreign sites will close their doors to EU traffic as horror stories flourish. Only a handful of giants that can afford to comply will still allow this traffic, and they will be able to obtain user permission to do anything they want, because of the lack of competitors still serving the EU market (rendering informed consent and all disclosures effectively worthless).
If you buy Bitcoin, you still have that much Bitcoin at the end of the week. I think you are referring to exchange rates. Your money is still subject to exchange rate variation on a daily basis.
> of suing websites that might make $1000/mo for the full EUR20Million, do you?

I expect some early chilling cases that will scare the shit out of small operators. That's almost guaranteed to happen. I don't expect the EU to need to be aggressive in pursuing small operators (spending lots of money & time on it), a few demonstrative examples will do the job. They'll need to do that to make sure they're all in line. It's too great of a task to force compliance on millions of small businesses otherwise, they will have to make an example of some small businesses. If they don't, compliance by those millions of small businesses will erode over time.
I am currently working in one of this multi-$bn companies. They run/are preparing GDPR.

Agree he is a crazy bully ... but an emphasis on the bully bit. ie bullys don't pick on those that can fight back.

With its nukes, NK can fight back - if not against the US, against SK. I agree that as a crazy President, Trump can destabilise a lot of the world, but I don't believe even he would start a nuclear war.

> If this was all done by China, why would SK agree to that?

Because it would mean peace for them - it's either accept olive branches when they are offered or remain permanently at war. In a way, they are clutching at straws - but I can't say I blame them.

> Well what did Pompeo talk about with Kim? I don't know, it was "secret" meeting. But pretty sure it wasn't about nothing.

There have been plenty of talks - open and secret - between the US and NK in the past. Nothing new here.

WaPo had a good commentary on the history of failed peace talks: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/25/opinion/north-korea-south...

- 1992: the Agreement on Reconciliation, Nonaggression and Exchanges and Cooperation between the South and the North and the Joint Declaration of the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

- 2000: the South-North Joint Declaration

- 2007: South-North Joint declaration

All of those were about peace treaties and non-aggression. None of them went anywhere.

GDPR is a great example of the kinds of disasters that happen when nations try to force the entire planet to follow their unilateral actions.

(Shrug) It's a public response to abuses by private actors. It's a great example of the kinds of disasters that happen when the user is the product and not the customer.
Great now deploy that demon and updates across an entire fleet of servers a few times a day. And make sure you have metrics for it, and that you’re efficiently using cpu and memory resources across your cloud footprint.
Funnily enough, when people realised they could copy code and sell them off as triple-A investments that is exactly what they did. (OK, not triple A, but the scam of money from nothing is happening again and again.) At least with Bitcoin there is an end.
That's a good approach. I have a semi-open beta for my network. What's this one that you're looking at? I'm curious to see what other new social sites are doing.
This is an incredibly unfair conclusion. Beyond the time it would make it to make the actual technical changes, he's right in saying that GDPR is written in a very ambiguous way that is going to open up the possibility of litigation that smaller shops will not be equipped to absorb. He's made a calculated decision that for him personally it is not worth the additional legal/financial risk to continue operating the business. GDPR is complicated and we dont know what the enforcement side is going to look like yet.
> What if you do have the money and could indeed and also want to do a lot of travel, have awesome friends, eat nice dinner, do weekend partying, and own all those things, but you simply do not have the time?

I don't doubt that it is, but if we would ask a hundred people if they would want to spend time in their 20s, 30s or 40s again I think we would both agree that the answer would be pretty clear, not to mention that most professional activity, such as entrepreneurship, scientific or career advancement occurs in that period of life.

> How is this a justification?

Your premise doesn't make sense. You're arguing against someone's subjective regard for risk. That's like telling someone that their love of skydiving is stupid because it's too risky. If the operator has a very low tolerance for risk - assume it's extraordinarily low for these illustrative purposes, as we're discussing a principle that applies regardless of scale - then that's down to their preferences. It does no good to argue against subjective preferences.
Such shenanigans would be noticed as soon as someone did a routine X-ray inspection at the board house.
Here's the thing: if you already cared about your users' privacy and security, and had some level of common decency in your approach to users, none of this is a big deal or indeed different to what you'd already be doing.
The first part of your argument is true but it's missing a key reason why FB's data collection is so troubling — they run on advertisements and use all the user data collected to sell more of those ads.
