With over 500 million people in the EU that's a lot of potential market going to waste by not being GDPR compliant.

Unless, of course, their central business model is incompatible with GDPR-compliance in the first place...

On this topic - we tried, really really tried, not to write our own database. We've used BerkeleyDB in OpenLDAP since around 2000. We'd sunk a ton of energy into learning how to use it optimally. And it was ~2 years, from when we started looking for better approaches in 2009, until we finally bit the bullet and started writing LMDB in 2011. Frankly I think "never roll your own" is good advice in 98% of cases, but if after you've examined all your options, you don't find what you're looking for, then there's no other choice.
They can choose to not provide service to EU citizens. If they provide service to EU citizens, then with that comes limitations on what rights the have under EU law to pick and choose which EU citizens they want to provide service to.

Nobody is forcing them to serve the EU market.
I've implemented it into a few services, but they were relatively low-risk in terms of the information retained.

In fact, for most services it is possible to use password resets for just this purpose. Sign up with your email and an incredibly strong password that you never retain, reuse or remember. Next time you need to log in, just reset your password. Same thing. By offering passwordless login from the outset, you make doing so easier.

The one pain point is the need for the user to have access to their email, which these days is pretty easy.

"I'm sorry if something unpleasant happened to you"

It is less about me. I have been there three times and I can take a lot. On my last trip, I spare you my experiences, I stayed one day in the hotel to work on my computer and my GF came back crying and told me she wants to leave and never come back. On the Train to Budapest I met an American Lady. She said, she would not come back to Prague, people are "harsh".

"but it still wouldn't entitle such sweeping generalizations."

I saw once a statistic about foreigners (can't find it anymore). They were hated the most in the Czech republic, the most welcoming country was Uganda. BTW, I have lined up a trip to Uganda, there is a great music festival every summer.

Make you own experiences. It is not a terrible place, but why go to Prague if you can go to Budapest? Total different bunch already.
Yes, I saw that, but the article seems to suggest that they're being disingenuous.

Re 2: When I have something that's been stuck in my todo for a long time, I drop it or I push it through in a weekend or similar short period of time. Why? I drop it because it either wasn't important or I missed the deadline. If I keep it it's still important and I up its priority.

Re 3: This motivates me to reduce and focus. I stopped agreeing to obligations from other people if I didn't actually want to do it, need to do it, or if other things had higher priority. I started setting aside daily time for a specific task (before I socialize with friends during the week, I usually show up early with a book I want to read).

Re 5: I still get these, even working from a list. In fact, thanks to 2 and 3 I feel like it happens more often. Because when I sit down to do something, I can be confident I'm not forgetting something else that needs to be done first.

If more than one-third of their ticket purchases are repeat viewings I find it really hard to believe anywhere near half of those are genuine, rather than tickets purchased for someone else. Anyway, it seems like a completely reasonable restriction to not allow someone to see the same movie more than once.
At least for some, it's the result of experiences with and/or knowledge about Stalinism, the Nazis, et al. For those, it doesn't matter what 99% of the people do, we don't derive the value of something from how many people do or think it, we derive the value of people from what they think and do in relations to these questions. It's fine to be "not well traveled", but I wouldn't put my hand into machinery I don't 100% understand. That you don't see what is the lioness and what are the cubs is not relevant to the lioness.

I'm not referring to Facebook specifically. The dialog that Facebook's displaying to EU users (according to the tweet) isn't actually very clear in itself about what they're asking users for.

"Clear consent", in my mind, would be something along the lines of "we use tracking cookies and tracking on widgets third-party websites embed, as well as the data you provide to us in terms of posts, comments, photos and other content to personalize the ads you see". If you accept those terms, well, then you certainly can't be surprised when Facebook — or whoever — does precisely that.
You are misreading it as an understanding issue. There are plenty of things politicians don't understand and there are experts for that, or else the country doesn't run. The impetus is never understanding, but power. Until there is political impetus for them to care, they don't.
If the crash was bad enough to eject someone, then the Tesla catching fire is sad, but probably not why these kids died. Driving their powerful car into a concrete wall is what killed them; the make of the car has little to do with it. This article is written in a overly biased way depicting the Tesla as being at fault for steering off the road and into a concrete barrier and killing these kids; note that every time it references an event leading up to and including the crash, it puts blame on the Tesla...

"when the Tesla they were in crashed into a concrete wall and burst into flames "

"Police said the gray 2014 Tesla Motors Model S may have been speeding southbound"

Damn shoddy journalism here! I'd be ashamed to write such a nasty little article.

I don't want a car that I drive to catch fire in a severe crash, but honestly the possibility of dying in a normal car crash is several orders of magnitude higher than getting into a crash that is not severe enough to kill me instantly, but is capable of breaching the battery housing of the car. I'm more worried about getting bitten by a shark, which has a higher chance of occurring than a Tesla fire...

Is this really true? I hope not!
American wages have been stagnant. Meanwhile the rest of the world has been industrializing.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence but the 1980s was the beginning of the "off-shore everything" trend.
Then Facebook is free to withdraw from the EU market, and someone else will take their place in the EU.
That’s true but the belief that gold has cosmetic value goes back for thousands of years. Even if you ignore that something like two thirds of consumption is industrial, that’s a huge track record to conflate with … basically nothing. It’s on the scale of saying there’s no reason why your band couldn’t be as valuable as the Beatles.

> The electric grid has no influence on the supply curve of Bitcoin.

Difficulty readjustment mitigates long term influence of electriciry market on Bitcoin supply curve, but doesn't prevent the current prices from short-term influences

> Do you accept the fact that time is the only input for the supply function?

No.

> It does not matter if there is one miner producing bitcoin or if bitcoin's price is $1 or $1MM dollars the same amount of bitcoins are produced.

First, this isn't true over short terms, though difficulty adjustment means it should be approximately true with a steady state allocation of mining resources over the long term.

Second, though, supply isn't production caapcity, it's the mapping of price to number of units sold.

I didn't see that until after I posted the previous comment. That number certainly changes the conversation, however I'm usually a fan of valuing companies via net profit instead of revenue. Although I will admit that valuing startups is a whole different ballgame than traditional companies.
This is just more evidence that my theory on why Bitcoin was developed, may actually hold water.

It was never about the GFC, failing banks or some crazy libertarian dream. It was all because someone was upset that the "million dollar bank transfer codes (or the two keys geographically separated that have to be turned at the same time, or the special secret crypto laptop in the zero halliburton that can transfer billions instantly and untracably)" trope from all those crime films was complete bullshit, and that in reality most money is protected by horrifyingly thick layers of mediocre bureaucracy and somebody wanted to be the mahatma gandhi of making those sorts of situations actually plausible in the real world.
This question is confusing. It sounds like you just want money without providing value. I would worry less about that part. Figure out something you can actually provide first without thinking about the free money, maybe a-lot x hours a month for providing additional digital assets (you made their logo but if they need it in different sizes, colors, svg, included with a picture, facebook banner, google business, some advertisement, etc) that might have value if they can't do that themselves or don't have the time. It's almost always the later.
> "We require tracking to pay for the costs of providing this free service".

> No such thing as a free lunch.

Please square that with the fact (which I already pointed out) that they already provide their free service without targeting, based on user settings.

They can't using tracking to "pay the costs of providing this free service" without ad targeting (unless they're selling the tracking data, which they publicly deny).

I'm making an educated guess that mere declarations of necessity tracking are not sufficient legal justification for it in the EU.
I tried it yesterday while looking for an app that would track "on a scale of 1-5 how well did I do X today". I settled on KeepTrack, but it doesn't have habitica's style.
Maybe habitica encourages taking the habit seriously without taking myself too seriously.
It's certainly possible to talk about API specifications without mentioning either of those.

Reflow [1] is also well-suited for ETL workloads. It takes a different tack: it presents a DSL with data-flow semantics and first-class integration with Docker. The result is that you don't write graphs, instead you just write programs that, due to their semantics, can be automatically parallelized and distributed widely, all intermediate evaluations are memoized, and programs are evaluated in a fully incremental fashion:

It can't get any bigger, the transaction limits, the "halvings", the liquidity issues after over a decade of operation, so I guess that experiment has run its course.
In case of what? If something so major happens that the US dollar, the Euro, the British pound and other reserve currencies collapse or the financial system breaks down completely, what exactly is going to keep the Internet running such that the blockchain consensus will even be there?

It's a bit like there's really no point (IMHO) preparing for a massive nuclear war by stockpiling food, water and guns and having a generator and a bomb shelter because if we have a nuclear war we're all kind of fucked anyway, so what's the point?
I really like the idea of declarative and machine-readable validation and API descriptions, but JSON schema is often pretty frustrating to work with in practice. Building a compliant implementation is quite difficult.

The $ref resolution, as defined in the spec, is hideously complicated, to the point where many implementations just don't even bother supporting external $refs. It feels like it really should be a totally separate concern from validation, especially since how you store and compose schemas may end up being somewhat specific to a given use case.
Thanks, not OP but that looks useful to me. For context, I've used the strategy in OP to debug a small linux system running on an SD card, if I have one version that has a bug and one that doesn't, and I don't know the difference, I can image them both, mount them and diff the whole system (i.e. with meld.) And it can be done with the same card over time. I'd like to figure out how to do this with VM disks as well but I've never had a pressing need.

As far as I know, the GDPR stipulates that you cannot deny people access to you service if they do not opt-in to tracking, unless the service you provide is very specifically a tracking service.

Tracking is not the primary service Facebook provides to their users, so the GDPR will not allow them to bar access for users who do not opt-in to being tracked.
I wasn't aware that antifa was hanging people from trees and burning them at the stake. I myself am anti-fascist, and most people I know are also against fascism--aren't you?

Agreed, it is completely reasonable. I would find it very hard to believe anyone would think otherwise.

Consumer spending is what keeps everyone employed. Even in Silicon Valley because who do you think is buying all the ads?

> Upgrading your car when you dont need to is wreckless spending.

But that's what creates the used car market, which is much bigger than the new car market. When people stop buying new cars it means tons of layoffs, which means tons of reduced spending by all the previously employed auto workers, which means more businesses lay people off, etc etc.
Its not $10B worth. If you tried to liquidate, convert into another currency or asset etc there wouldn't be enough buyers at $9500, $1 would be much more likely towards the end of selling...
Sorry if it wasn't clear. I'm suggesting that a business should have some right to deny service to a user who chooses not to participate in tracking, so long as it's made abundantly and plainly clear to said user that they'd be tracked, and that the user consents to that.

Based on my interpretation, the GDPR simply precludes that possibility.

I think the current population that wants GDPR privacy stance is small but feared to be influential by Facebook.

It also coincides with FB's recent privacy breach news and overall general public dissatisfaction with FB's policies.

I know a lot of folks who simply don't use FB and are realizing that it's "really not free" in liability terms.

So does this turn into a groundswell? Probably not, I agree with you. However, it does put some fences up that is probably causing FB to feel a bit more nervous. GDPR may be the first of many such efforts...

How this reads: How are you offended by attempts to curb terrorism? How are you offended by attempts to save the children?

We can agree on intent and disagree on practice. I disagree with the GDPR in practice, but agree with its intent. I think there are many other ways to tackle these problems, and this is probably the worst one (especially to start with assuming this is the first really enforced one).
I read that as “recently” rather than “simply”, but could be wrong.
Are you approaching this from the point of view that you don't believe that percentage of movie ticket sales are repeat viewings? I'd have a hard time believing that too.

Thing is, MoviePass subscribers aren't representative of the average movie-goer. It attracts those who see a lot of movies (repeat or not). It's also only a small percentage of viewers.
That's not entirely correct. Gold is malleable and does not tarnish, both of which are nice for making jewelry.

Ask HN: How to manage a lot of interests and focus
Hey Everyone, I had this problem for a long time. I really love coding, design, art, drawing, game dev, voxels, 3d and lot of other things. The problem is that I don't know which of these to focus on.

Take Coding, I really love coding. But the problem is say I'm learning Haskell, halfway through I would give up and learn go, maybe then drop go and check out Machine Learning.

I would enroll in courses, bookmark websites and then literally do no follow up work on it. I am turning into a Jack of all and master of none thing. I do really want to get better at the above said things.

The question is how do I manage my interests so that I can focus on one thing and become better at it.

Any tips, tricks or anything would be really helpful, and I'm pretty nervous about asking this on HN.

I answered more of my questions about energy costs: in part II Appendix C the authors explore the energy of a synaptic firing event. The on-chip energy expended: 41 attojoules. (Though in part V the authors conclude that their earlier Part II analysis was probably flawed, and the circuits probably need 4 times as much current.) That 41 attojoules on-chip translates to about 24 femtojoules of whole-system energy consumption. That in turn compares favorably to the ~10 picojoules (10000 femtojoule) of energy required to perform a single precision floating point arithmetic operation on CMOS hardware. But this "neuromorphic" design is not easy to compare to contemporary hardware on complete tasks, because it's more analog than digital. And it's not clear that it can easily interoperate with existing artificial neural networks built on digital logic, either for training or inference. A low level "direct" comparison may be effectively impossible. Instead we'd have to ask questions like "how many joules per face recognized?" for complete facial recognition systems, admitting that GPU-based ANNs and superconducting optoelectronic ANNs would have very different internal structures.

Finally, I'll note that these designs rely on large numbers of Josephson junctions. From my quick Wiki-skim it appears that nobody has ever built large scale integrated circuits from Josephson junctions. It doesn't look like there have even been serious Western attempts at it after the 1980s. That's not to say that large scale fabrication of circuits incorporating Josephson junctions is folly, but it looks like it requires a lot of basic R&D effort before somebody can build one of these superconducting optoelectronic chips, much less a whole wafer full of interconnected copies.
