I wonder about his distaste for "refactoring" the term and the concept, since this seems to be pretty in-line with what I understand it to be.

Obviously plenty of architecture astronauts and cargo cults "refactor" their stuff and produce piles of SpaghettiOs (still spaghetti, but in nice little modules), but that's a straw man, isn't it?

The OP is not the site owner.

The decision to exclude a portion of your user community should be explained.

Unless you personally know the developer you are making a number of assumptions about their resources and time to deal with this issue.

Presumably the developer wants to continue to offer this app and service. His understanding of GDPR and how it affects his service will grow over time and he will likely eventually take action to reintegrate the EU into his service.
I really do not understand how people could say something like this (and also things like "GR is one of the most confirmed theories ever").

"Theoretically" 95% of the universe is made of invisible, unexplained stuff...

And with all of that it is worth keeping in mind that these complications cause unemployment insurance to have average failure rates of around 20 percent. This means that overall roughly one in five who qualify and apply correctly receive no benefits and roughly one in five who should be disqualified but apply receive benefits anyway. This kind of error is what makes the simple universal basic income citizen dividend benefit such a compelling alternative: We can actually do it with relatively low error rates and high transparency.
Personal anecdote time: The line on that chart, the 2016 election, was exactly when I cut back on my Facebook use. I had former friends who posted stuff that night like "white people need to die" and "unfriend me if you voted for [insert candidate's name here]".

Notwithstanding all the privacy issues, I remember the days when Facebook used to be fun. Back before timeline, back when it was limited to colleges, back when "Random Play" was listed as a desired relationship option. Now it's meme and clickbait article land.
It was a Porsche, and Bill Gates owned one.

"While most Porsches can import quite easily from Europe to the USA, the 959 had complications abound, making it impossible for US citizens to get their hands on one of these supercars. One of the citizens was Gates, who ordered a 959 from Porsche, only to have it impounded at customs. The reasoning provided to justify the impounding was that the 959 had not yet cleared crash-testing requirements and did not meet EPA standards. Gates’ German supercar sat idly by for over a decade."

> and I don't see why "it's on the internet" appears to be the main counter-argument.

Because by default any web site has, in the past, been open to people from any country that doesn't censor the web.

Regulations like GDPR are making doing business in more than one country more difficult and encouraging a Balkanized web.

There seems to be a technical difference between a "referral fee" and a "finders fee". And there may be a difference between a real estate sales transaction and a rental, the latter being what I was talking about.

In any case, I do not find any support for the idea that you can't discuss the property with the person you send to your landlord. It wouldn't really be possible to say "this is a great place to live" and respond to "why?" with "can't tell ya!".

Now if you tried to sue because your landlord reneged on your monetary reward, then you might not win because you weren't licensed or something, but that's not at all the same as it being illegal for them to pay you.

NY may have a reputation for corruption, but things aren't that bad.

The legalities of referral fees come into play if you are a real estate agent, and you pay a fee to another agent who failed to renew their license, I believe.
It is interesting that you listed a number of peoples who have at various times been subjected to genocide because of their initial accommodation of outside populations in your rebuttal of my affirmation that Japan refusing to compromise its stance on immigration is vital to its survival as a cohesive and distinct nation.

>you use it or you lose it

Please explain in direct language the point your deployment of this aphorism was intended to convey as I find it wholly inapplicable.
Of course they are not the same but they share a common principle, i.e. you can not do arbitrary things involving other people. And nobody is talking about your opinions, you are free to think whatever you want, just as you are free to harm yourself or even commit suicide. But if your »thinking« involves information about other people, there are limits just as there are limits if you go from killing you to killing others. If something is ridiculous, then the way you twisted what I said.
I can't see any way in which this interpretation can be valid. You'll always be able to "directly or indirectly" identify people from IP addresses. Just because I don't store IP and identity together, doesn't mean there's not many other ways to identify somebody based on an IP address.
> When investigators infused CGRP into people prone to migraines, they got headaches. When they gave the molecule to people who do not get migraines, it usually did not instigate one.

Ah, I remember seeing the CGRP acronym all over this paper:

https://open.library.ubc.ca/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses/24/... (The role of monosodium glutamate in headache, [2013])

"Glutamate can induce vasodilation by several different mechanisms. The excitatory neurotransmitter can activate sensory fibres, which results in the release of the potent
vasodilatior CGRP (Messlinger et al. 1995)." [1.9.6]
DPO has been thoroughly refuted in this thread. He doesn't need a DPO; if he wants to hire a DPO that can be him.
Maybe he should have asked for permission before looking to identifiable people also?
After a while the dark-pattern growth hacks stop affecting the populace, I guess.

The "Jane is waiting for you to see her post on your timeline" stuff where FB impersonates your friend was when my wife started ignoring everything from FB (I had quit a long time ago).
Like Zuck before senate?

I imagine when running a business one faces many stupid bureaucrats, this could be another one (or they could be competent and understand and accept the technical explanation of how my imaginary company complies with GDPR).

But yeah, why quit because of the n + 1th bureaucrat, when you've dealt with n of them while starting and running of your business?
Given that this is a Google recruiter, disappointment with perhaps a vague sense of misuse.
Then let's move on to credit card details. You gave them to me for payment purposes in the course of doing normal business.

Months later, I discover that I can sell my stock of credit card information on the darknet for some nice extra income.

Should I be allowed to do that? What if it weren't credit card details but just postal addresses?
I think the part about rather big enforcement penalties made it easy for various consultants to scare companies and sadly also some individual developers.

I already had to fend off implementing some ridiculous features. I've pushed against misconceptions and use of non-existent terminology that's not even in the law. People are taking info from all kinds of sources, some of them sketchier than others, despite the existence of official EU guides, and the law itself.

But I bet it will be easy to comply for most non-adtech/tracking businesses. And as an internet user, I'm looking forward to better data exports, data removal and more transparency.
Getting paid bank means getting paid a lot of money.

EDIT: You may also hear the phrase "making bank" to mean making (earning, not printing) a lot of money.
OpenCL provides a standardization for interacting with accelerators. It is up to the manufacturers of FPGAs to adopt the OpenCL standard. For a while, Nvidia didn't get on board because they already had CUDA and felt OpenCL was letting ATI back in the game. Xilinx makes good learner FPGAs that are compatible with the OpenCL standard.
I also would prefer more clarity in the area of logging IP addresses, and would like to have a clearer consensus on what is allowed here. I think we will get a clearer picture after a bit of time.

It appears to me that as long as you don't use the logs for nefarious purposes you'd at least have legitimate interest in processing them (including the IP addresses), and so could keep them. This is the stance I am taking with respect to my personal webserver (together with a time limit after which logs are deleted); if a regulatory body informs me to change my approach, I'll gladly adapt.

Note also that IP addresses can be personal data, but do not have to be. Most claims here seem to relate to a ruling, where the IP address was deemed personal data in the hands of an ISP, who would be able to resolve it to a real person [1]. If you hold an IP address, but can't connect it to a real person (e.g. by having legal means to convince the ISP to give you that name based on the address), then it seems the IP address would not even be personal data in the first place. In the particularly ruling, the operator of the webserver was the German government, which presumably has more legal power to make an ISP turn over identifying data on a customer than a random website would have.

In any case, I hope some more clarity about this will emerge soon. But what you are talking about here would at best be a borderline infraction (and probably just be covered under legitimate interest). OTOH, what the person starting this thread had in mind seems to be that all the data he might collect on his users is fair game to do with as he pleases.

Elon Musk's companies are this way. Getting shit done, innovating, disregarding established ways of doing things to innovate, lower costs, and release products. If you want to feel like you are breaking ground, and not being held back by bureaucracy, shit management, or established norms, I would highly recommend trying to find a job there.

Otherwise, I think you need to find the right combination of good leadership and good application. Right now I'm working on autonomous vehicles at a startup, and the application is interesting and definitely "wild west" where you are breaking ground and trying new things to get to the goal, but on the other hand the leadership is dropping the ball on hiring, trajectory, goals, etc. So it feels like a mess in terms of what and why we are working on the things we are doing. Often back tracking or throwing away work because the leadership didn't think their plans through. So I think finding something that has both great application and great leadership, involves finding a field you think is kick-ass, cutting edge, and meaningful, and then looking for leadership that has a great track record.
San Francisco is well on the way towards becoming the world's largest gated community. All property, even public spaces, will be owned by the corporations and wealthy individuals who pay the property taxes. They will try to dictate who has access to the city and what restrictions apply. The rest of us will be tourists.
There is however the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which is an international treaty. However, in practice, the ICCPR functions much like the UDHR - a statement of principles rather than a treaty which provides for proper enforcement. The US apparently specifically indicated when it ratified the ICCPR that it didn't consider the treaty "self-executing" as a matter of US domestic law and thus you can't enforce it directly in the US courts.
Dmv.org is not associated with any government body. Its advice should be taken with a grain of salt as such matters are not uniform across the US. Moreover their state specific info is often a paraphrased summary that only represents best practices and not the full scope of the applicable law.
What are you using for X security context isolation? I've been wanting a good solution for that one for a while now, and the end of my list is still “write my own isolating proxy” since I never found a good one.
How could we say the code is fake? We don't have access to it. The code is not under discussion here. That the "demo" was fake is another matter entirely.
I don't want to pick on this person, but imagine if someone said "from a couple of decades of watching movies, I know that all a movie needs is.." Experiencing a medium is very different than developing a medium. And there are a lot of rules that hold true for your subjective experience of a medium that may not be universal rules.
Babies don't suction milk out of the breast, rather they take the nipple and areola into the mouth and squeeze it between the tongue and palate to express milk.

Should add to that that the law (which is generally abstract) will be interpreted by 28 different legal systems. EU legal system is not homogeneous and there are definitely different sensitivities between countries (e.g. Germans seem very happy about GDPR - the Poles less so). That's an extra risk factor imho.
None of this is wrong (avoid GCM).

I've been poking around for about 30 minutes and I'm still not sure I understand what the key agreement protocol is. I'm trying to follow starting from _doHELLO and you're losing me somewhere amidst the moons and worlds and stuff.
This. I coached powerlifters for a time and you even see this when athletes have taken long breaks from hard workouts. Motor movement, like everything else, is a learned and perishable skill.
It's not that I'm not empathetic, but the kind of Real Speak you're sort of proposing feels out of place in a relatively public setting. I'd rather have a coffee or beer with them if I know them well, and if I don't, it's not like I call them on it, but it does slowly make me want to interact with facebook less. (I know I can unfollow people, but at a certain point it strikes me less about people misusing facebook, and more that facebook incentivizes these kind of behaviors)
Wow, I think I need a shower to wash off the arrogance that came from just reading that page. I'd agree in premise, but officially, not even ICANN owns them; they only manage them. You shouldn't use them because of plenty of reasons. But you're totally allowed to, sysadmins everywhere will just hate you.
I don’t think anyone is suggesting it’s “fake” in the sense of complete vaporware. It’s that the demo gives the impression that it works great already and is nearly ready to launch, but we suspect it may be much less complete and much further off than that. The various suspicious details back that up.

It’s not like there’s a conspiracy of silence between yourself and hundreds of other employees; more that hundreds of people all independently have over-inflated faith in the product and all independently cut corners and “cooked” the demo in various small ways. I can easily see that happening in an intense, secretive team, even if every individual’s intentions are basically good.

I don't use mac, but up to windows 10 it was annoying moving from linux to windows, but it's honestly not anymore.

Thanks for reminding me of securecrt, that's a piece of software I totally forgot about, ditched it about the same time I ditched my CRT monitor...

Resizing the windows console resizes the terminal, not the windows, I mean it rearrange the text, is this not what you mean?

I use windows in a VM, copy paste is near immidiate, and selection works nearly perfect (Microsoft does tend to over select spaces around words, that's an annoyance they carry all over the place).

The speed of text printing in the console is fairly fast too, but I didn't benchmarked it.

Haven't looked on color support at all, color themes are obvious weak point compared with any decent linux terminal.

Last year, I got rejected by Google after going onsite for a day of interviews. The recruiter called me and gave me feedback both positive and negative from each interviewer and how I could improve.
My respect for Google grew tremendously on account of that.

Contrast that with Slack & TwitchTV. Companies where I got rejected after taking their pre-screen homework test even after spending a few hours on their test & submitting a correct working solution. No feedback provided even after request. Wish there was a repository of companies which expect applicants to waste a bunch of time without even providing feedback. Will know to avoid those in the future.

Why a $120M Fine Can't Stop the 'Insane' Surge of Phone Spam
But OP is wrong. OP is saying GDPR is making it impossible for him to offer the software, but GDPR has almost no effect on him.

OP can just rely on "legitimate interests", and describe the data they're processing and why.
Often, being "that guy" means inflicting a disproportionate amount of misery on yourself and your family.
Where the Yanny and Laurel Meme Comes From
Not the point. You’re making the case that you’re always fully compliant with all laws and have been for 30 years, because it’s just so damn effortless. It’s almost more work to NOT be compliant!!

And I’m saying that’s bullshit. You’re breaking laws left and right, but you just don’t get caught because enforcement of those laws is so inconsistent. And the GDPR is so much worse; I’m sure you’re not compliant with GDPR given how vague and over-reaching the law is, but you’re probably mostly compliant and you’re too small for anyone to care.
None of this newly available data paints a roadmap to getting swole with your mind.
I've been making 2D games off and on for years. J2ME, Java w/OpenGL bindings, and now in Clojure.

I have two issues with PoS that I've never seen addressed?

(1) Isn't it Plutocratic? PoW can be too in that capital and energy costs money, but PoS seems to directly reward the largest stakeholders with more stake.

(2) Removing money from circulation is not free. It reduces monetary velocity and has other detrimental effects on the currency's economic system.

Data Science for Startups: Data Pipelines
nothing like newb gains. but I'll say (and this is really just a random comment) that it's possible to reproduce those gains later in your career given good nutrition. I first did starting strength over a decade ago (circa age 18) but last year I decided to really invest in nutrition (read: a double scoop protein shake with every meal) and I had "linear growth" for 6 months (5-10 lbs every lift every week). I've plateaued now and so I'm cutting but man was it fun to stack plates again.

If you had experience at NeXT on your resume before you turned 18, would you have needed to go to college? Alternatively, what's wrong with working for a couple of years to see if you really wanted to go to college for CS?

If I had the chance to get a job as a programmer straight out of school, I might have chosen that and go to school part time.
I'm probably one of the rare people who has avoided Facebook for many years and has been using it more recently, so I'm just discovering many things people complain about.

I figured out how to exclude people whose updates tend to be really judgmental or political from my feed without defriending them, but I am still really frustrated by there being no way to keep it chronological. Facebook wants me to read the "top" posts, over and over, apparently, regardless of whether I'm interested or have already read them. And yet, there are many updates that I miss if I don't go to the effort of looking for them.

Most of the value to me is in the messaging function, but there's really nothing special about it compared to all the others that have existed - it's only useful because it's on FB and connected to the people I know that are there.

I find it disturbing when people I don't know ask to be friends, if they don't have any friends in common with me. I can't really understand why FB even allows this as when would they not be bots or scammers?
> you need to implement opt ins,

No. This is the myth that "consent is always required". There are several justifications for processing personal data, and consent is just one of them. There are others.
