I once had a clock that runs backwards, i.e.: counter clockwise. There are so few clocks in the wild, that after a while I realized it was the only analog clock I saw regularly. Not only that, but I became used to the backwards rotation, so that when I did see an analog clock, I had to re-adjust so I could read the time!
By itself, a todo list is poison, because your day turns into a game of "check the box" and you spend your time doing things that you shouldn't. In combination with a todon't list, which tells you what doesn't get a place on your todo list, you can be productive.
I use emacs org-mode with beorg¹ on iOS. beorg has very good agenda view and allows dumping new entries. Refilling and tagging I do later with real emacs. Syncing files is done via webdav (nextcloud to be exact).

It is a pleasant working experience.

Your phrasing is confusing. Why would the business want to deny services to a user who chooses to take personal responsibility over the data they provide?
I'd pay a designer for retainer. We have a designer we work with at the moment who is great and I have ongoing needs. Woudl be easier to send bits and pieces as we need them instead of batching.
That looks like a nifty service, but we were an AWS shop and the bandwidth intensity of ETL would have made a GCP-hosted service cost prohibitive. That said, at least once a month I tried to convince our CTO to let me move our data workloads over to GCP due to all the nifty managed services they have available.

I was primarily munging data between FTP drops, S3, RDS, and Redshift, which mainly fell into free buckets for internal data transfer.
Ask HN: Why Tinder is so terrible of an app?
As a somewhat recent user of Tinder I can't help but wonder how extremely popular app like Tinder can be so badly made? I use Android so I can't speak for iOS but it feels like it was built hastily by bunch of junior developers with complete lack of regard for quality.

Okey some UI mistakes here and there sure, not a big deal. However for an app like Tinder I'd assume that there was a throughout testing for errors due to internationalization. In my language at least there is one glaring error in the spelling or at least it reads very weirdly.

But what really bothers me and contributed me to submit this question is that I recently or well I think it has been ongoing for a while is a bug that stops me from changing my personal information. Like really, this is the level of quality I can expect? Contacting the customer support was no help either and they haven't responded in 3 working days since I last sent an email.

I am astonished and wonder what could have led to this, is there a serious lack of experienced developers in the team? Is the culture terrible inside Tinder? No one admits mistakes and there is a lot of defensive coding? I'd love to hear from someone who knows the inner workings of Tinder and why its current state is what it is.
Add this to your conspiracy.

Intentional monetary inflation creates a value gradient, wherein the first spend of a new dollar can buy more than the second spend, and so on, until the knowledge that the new dollar is in circulation has normalized.

Now, what happens when you always spend new dollars into circulation through the same entity, but then remove old dollars at the same rate from those who only acquire dollars after they have been value-normalized? If you are an entity that can create new money, and destroy old money, you effectively get a discount on everything you buy. To a lesser extent, the same applies to anyone that can hoard a large enough quantity of money. You can withdraw a quantity from circulation, wait for prices to normalize for the new money supply, then buy at a lower price from hoarded money until people realize the circulating supply is now larger and raise their prices.

The counter to this is to restrict fiat money creation and discourage hoarding. Bitcoin already has a fixed-in-stone schedule for the creation of its money supply, but there is no way to stop someone from accumulating a large quantity, and then using the size of that hoard to act like a central bank.
GDPR doesn't cover enough of the population using Facebook to warrant such a change to their business model where you can use the service without them using your data. They believe they are entrenched enough to just require this (and likely are for many EU residents).

Curious to know whether people downvoting really believe that reading to newborn has an effect. And whether they ever seen newborn if they indeed believe so.
That's basically how it works in the US, yes.
You assume that, I assume that, these thoughts are a few digits shy of the decimal point of the percentage of people in the world who understand this. It's not commonly known that Facebook track your every conscious and unconscious interactions with their sites, apps, and every other site that has one of their tracking pixels/logins. It's even less commonly known that they gather data from numerous data brokers to enhance the data they have on you.
My understanding is that Facebook doesn’t actually sell data to advertisers. By this I mean you can’t go to Facebook and say, “I would like to buy data for 10,000 18-24 year old males in New York City, how much?” Instead you say, “I have an ad I want to show to 10,000 18-24 year old males in NYC, how much?” Facebook then handles serving the ad for you and sends you data about how succufull your campaigne was, when people click on the ad and visit your website you obviously can collect data from them there. This is subtle difference and one I think few people have been articulating, probally in part because it makes you sound like a shill for Facebook.

This actually makes more sense finically for Facebook, if they did the first thing people would only have to buy data once, and worse they could resell the data to third parties decreasing Facebook’s control of the market. Instead by retaining control of the data Facebook can charge an advertiser for every ad they show, making more money. Ironically this also better protects peoples privacy because Facebook isn’t actually giving the data away.

> I think what matters is that you keep a TODO list in whatever format is useful to you.

It's just that. That's why programmers keep making todo lists. Because some people want more flexibility, some want less. Some need some specific feature set, and some think other features are stupid. They're simple enough systems that people can build whatever flavor they want -- and it'll work for them -- rather than be constrained to whatever is available.

- "As a developer, one could host a webapp and charge for a retainer (with hardly any ongoing work)"

This is not really true. Depending on the stack / type of project, there is a number of things you do on regular basis to maintain a project. People are bad at technology and a lot of it for me is usually fixing human error (especially CMS driven projects).

Also, the one time something breaks and the developer has to spend time rectifying the issue is spread out as a cost across a number of payments.

Not just a rant - there is an answer in what I've said - value is offered as part of the retainer. Client receives the peace of mind they need and doesn't have to worry about having to find someone to fight fires, when they do eventually hit.

Find things that offer value, be it peace of mind or something else, and upsell towards the end of your projects.
They aren't, though. There are other ways of making money. Like charging people. If people won't pay, well, worst things could befall the Union than Facebook leaving.

But I think you need to be 100% off the grid to accomplish that. Which in today's society is practically impossible. If you're on the grid at all, you're open to attack. Since you have to take that hit anyway, might as well also take advantage of the benefits the grid offers.

This is an interesting choice of counter-argument. Firstly three things:

1) Laws don't exist in isolation

2) Long standing law says theft is illegal and stores can take steps to limit it.

3) This new law (GDPR) says you can't take users details and use them unless necessary to provide your service.

With this new GDPR law it's the little guy, the user, that get protection from something of value being taken from them and exploited - their personal details.

So, extending the above counter-argument it is also true to say that like Walmart, the singular 'theft' of personal details might not be terminal for the user. But just like the law recognises the theft of material goods and it's potential harm (even in the case of a singal instance), it now recognises the 'taking' of personal data as harmful (also even a single instance).

Extending the argument further, the GDPR takes the stance that one entity has been taking something of value from another without true compensation for the value of that something.

When we realise that what has been taken from users has value and that users haven't been fairly compensated for that value, it becomes obvious that a set of entities have based a business model on profiting off another set without fair compensation.

The GDPR now limits that behaviour and business model to return balance to the 'contract' between the two parties. Users get to use a service by providing the minimum needed for that service to be provided.

That would be interesting! That would probably mean they'd need to ban me, since I use an ad-blocker, right?

What about someone who uploads a lot of pictures but doesn't have many friends? That person might be using more resources than the ad revenue they generated...
For me it’s the opposite. Knowing that I have things to do but not having them written down in one place makes me anxious. Once I reliably started tracking everything (in Trello), that anxiety went away. I feel free to focus 100% on the task in front of me, without worrying about keeping the next tasks in my head.

I don't think the GDPR's "necessary to work" clause considers profit models. I believe, (again, IANAL) that "necessary to work" is really "necessary for a feature to function"; how a company derives revenue from the service doesn't come into account.

It would be interesting to see revenue as a necessity be tested in court, since there are open-source social networks that don't rely on user tracking or data sales to the extent that Facebook does it.
I think "Founder" is the correct job title, and use the description of the role next to the job title to explain that you were working solo and responsible for everything. You don't have to fit it all in the job title.
Chromebooks have the same sort of solid design principles that iOS devices do - hardware-based boot attestation and isolated cryptographic coprocessor, an entire OS design that lends itself towards sandboxing, a team that clearly cares about pushing the state-of-the-art in sandboxing forwards, security support for many years, etc. And both products have consistently evidenced solid security design for several years.

Apple laptops and Android phones are much weaker on all of these fronts.

I don't have a good explanation for why this is so. I think there may not be a good one, other than that complex engineering organizations are very random systems with tons of inputs and changing engineering culture is very hard, and people early in both the Chromebook and iOS projects were able to set and maintain the right culture, and people in the Android and Mac projects (despite being skilled people who care about security!) weren't able to pull it off, essentially by random chance.
Voting to leave doesn’t automatically mean one has to dislike all laws from the EU. It’s ok to want to leave the EU whilst also liking some aspects of what it brings us. As a person who voted remain this has been one of the most frustrating things about the whole Brexit situation, it’s like it has to be a binary status: one either loves the EU and everything about it or you hate the EU and membership brings no benefits at all.

I don’t think it’s ironic that you like this law, I think it’s understandable that you would if you have privacy concerns and, given T. May’s choices over the years, you were unlikely to get it without membership to the EU.
Looking at readline-ncurses-termcap stack, simplicity and interoperability are not the first words that come to mind.

These proposed "large fines" would still require regular people to deal with putative creditors and occasionally to defend themselves in court. Structural changes are required to make the system as it actually functions more equitable to humans. What are structural changes? For instance, prior to enforcing a debt the law could require the production of an authenticated video recording of the debtor clearly stating, "I am John Doe and I agree that I owe EvilCo $1,000 on May 9, 2018." This requirement would make it more difficult to lend money, so it would be opposed by some very deep pockets. I suspect that any actual solution to the inequity in this area would make it more difficult to lend money, so progress is likely to be slow.
This is actually a primary motivator behind how GTD works. Offload things you'll forget to a system you trust. Prioritize based on importance, completion time, complexity, and when and where you can do the work. If something requires your utmost attention and focus, you probably can't do it an hour before bedtime. You also can't do it in the middle of the freeway.

If you just have a todo list, though, you run the risk of stressing yourself out about the items on the list. And that's kinda defeating the point.

I really do agree with you, a Facebook account isn't a right you have. You can just not use Facebook if you disagree with their terms of service.

The only problem is: Facebooks terms of service isn't really reasonable, and most people won't understand the implications. As I understand the GDPR one of the goals is to give users a set of rights, in regards to their data. These right cannot, under any circumstances, be violated, just as you can't bond yourself into slavery or sign away your right to free speech.

Facebook and others are currently trying to find loophole, like with the cookie-law, except this time the EU did it's homework and companies won't get of with such simple solutions. Really if Facebook believe they can't do business in the EU after the 25th of May, due to the GDPR, then they shouldn't. Just close of all EU activities. Of cause I understand why they won't, the company would lose a good chunk of it's value, but it will anyway if it can't find a way to legally operate under the GDPR.

I still don't understand what this is. It's very frustrating to see projects not clearly state what problem they're trying to solve or what need they're trying to fill.

As a Java developer who deploys using containers, this might be something useful? Or not? I have no idea and the readme isn't helping.
Given their de facto monopoly I'm not sure "There is no legal right to Facebook" is correct anymore. It's sort of like the internet where if you were denied access you'd have a significant disadvantage in society - it could easily be argued that denying access to Facebook gives you a similar disadvantage.

At the end of the day this will need to be decided in courts.
Ehh, if you changed it I bet people would learn really quickly not to lean on doors. Most people leaning on doors are going to be young people with decent reaction times and balance so I wouldn’t even expect injury more like surprise.

Actually, filming entrance and exits is probably necessary for them to have insurance against theft, which probably is necessary for them to continue operating.

Further, some stores put locks on items and displays that others do not. These are also required for the store to continue offering such services.

You, as an individual, may not have undermined the store. However, you, as an individual among many, may be the reason why certain stores are not able to function as other stores do.

EDIT: to clarify my point, I don't think the GDPR takes how revenue is obtained into account. The revenue model itself must still conform to user consent. The analogy of Walmart to ad-blockers is interesting, though slightly off when one behavior is illegal and the other is not.

I’ve done a non-trivial amount of research around this in connection with office graph and outlook addins. The trick is you need to be able to get back to the original email in its thread from the task, so you can retain context and reply or extend the context as needed while still tracking it as a task. All the implementations I’ve found on the outlook side loose that connection (I think gmail tasks let you retain it but I sadly prefer outlook to gmail)

[Edit to add] almost forgot the key piece, which is that I think it’s possible to retain that context but I haven’t quite been able to justify the time to actually complete the round tripping code.
