> ut trying HTTPS first would be fantastic and eliminate one round trip for many of my sites that are not in the HSTS preload...

It's almost as if you didn't read my post.

Unless I can go register all my domains to be in the HSTS preload, I'd much rather Chrome tried HTTPS first, so I don't have to run a web server on port 80 that sends a 303 with https as the protocol.
Given what appears on screen, the Epstein Drive doesn’t even have that problem. It “only” acts like an electrostatic confinement fusion reactor with a hole in the confinement, slight enough for only the fusion products to escape, where the nozzle points.

Your first two examples are cute, but your third has the unfortunate side effect of undercutting your argument. A car you built yourself (or more often a motorcycle) actually _can_ be driven on roads in the US, as long as it has the appropriate indicators (brake lights, turn indicators, headlights). There's a crazy subculture around building bikes that would never in a million years pass muster as production vehicles. (let's drop a chevy small block into a harley).
Edit: Title has been changed, leaving this for posterity.

Apologies for formatting, but the title doesn’t match the conclusion of the paper.

“First measurement campaigns were carried out
with both thruster models reaching thrust/thrust-to-
power levels comparable to claimed values.
However, we found that e.g. magnetic interaction from twisted-pair cables and amplifiers with the
Earth’s magnetic field can be a significant error
source for EMDrives.”

There was no experimental validation of this, just speculation based on their observations. They propose a simple fix, run the experiment in a magnetically shielded environment. They suggest Mu metal for maximum shielding, which would be good, but I’m a little skeptical that the vacuum vessels used in previous tests would have allowed a substantial flux of earths magnetic field through the environment. Using my phone's basic magnetometer, I get an order of magnitude reduction in field strength by placing it ~8" inside my oven and leaving the door open.

In any event they are probably on to something here. Certainly a more plausible explanation than any of the alternatives.

No need to be snarky - you do have a good point that can stand on its own. However the issue is not black and white. And just because you think the GDPR is a step forward, some people disagree. Even the Monal guy might agree with you - he just doesn't think it is worth it. And why wouldn't we expect strictly enforced food safety regulations to prevent meals being shared? It might be worth it, but it doesn't mean there won't be collateral damage.
You are making a claim to one of 2 things:

- the ip addresses never uniquely identify someone or

- you have a legitimate interest to collecting this data.

Neither provides carte blanche for collecting IP address.
I look forward to a day when two bots talk to each other and just make things happen.
He is meeting the required standards... by not having an EU users.

In doing that he's as equally compliant as any company who has jumped through the various GDPR hoops.
Sorry, your argument intuitively sounds valid but it isn't. I know because I made the same assumptions but my reading of the scientific literature has convinced me otherwise.

As one example, "tar" inhaled from cannabis is not correlated with long-term diseases like lung cancer, throat cancer, etc. However, the "tar" (a very vague term) from tobacco, wood smoke, etc is horrifically damaging to your body.
Literally not PGP, but clients built around it to make encrypted email easy. Read the article you linked.

There is no phone pinging going on. The carriers most likely keep a database of most recent location of their customers based on customer phones pinging towers.

At most, hitting location smart over and over would probably just hit the carrier databases over and over.
Nothing should be doing this. Insecure legacy systems that wrongfully expect to see the plaintext of the user's password should be replaced with properly functioning ones. But just because they haven't been yet is no excuse to actually give them the plaintext of the user's password.
The overreaction to GDPR from US tech startups in particular surprised me at first. But my partner is a lawyer working on GDPR compliance for a variety of tech firms, and he explained that there's almost a historical cultural difference in terms of attitudes to ownership of personal data.

European regulation typically treats personal data as being the property of the person being identified; US tradition considers data generated by a company to the be the property of that company, not of the person.

This made the whole massive unnecessary panic by primarily US-based small companies much more understandable to me.
As someone who both owns a small business and is a consumer, this seems completely reasonable to me.

The GDPR has really made me think about minimising the collection of data that I don't need - absolutely a good thing.
> So, from the viewpoint of traditional Catholic theology, Protestants are heretics, but their beliefs about baptism are close enough to the Catholic belief that their heresy doesn't invalidate their baptisms. (Different story for ordination and the eucharist, since Protestant theology on those topics is further away from Catholic theology.)

This is largely an issue of apostolic succession; regardless of the theology of the communities about ordination and the eucharist (which do differ critically), the sacraments cannot be valid because they are valid, in Catholic doctrine, only when performed by a validly ordained bishop (ordination) or consecrated by a validly ordained priest (Eucharist); the absence of episcopal apostolic succession (or, in much of protestantism, even the episcopal office) means that there are no validly ordained bishops and priests around. Now that is intimately tied to the doctrine around ordination, but even if the doctrine around the substance of the sacrament of the eucharist were identical, the absence of a valid minister of the sacrament would be critical.

> Whereas, non-Trinitarian Christians, the Catholic Church views their beliefs to directly touch on what the sacrament of baptism is about, so their non-Trinitarianism invalidates their baptisms from the Catholic viewpoint.

Well, there's two issues there. Sure, it's debatable whether a non-Trinitarian would have the requisite intent to validly (if, necessarily, illicitly) perform a baptism in the eyes of the Catholic Church, but what is more certainly fatal of most baptism by non-Trinitarians would be the failure to baptise using a Trinitarian formula, which is required for the sacrament to be valid, whether or not it is licit.

I'm working on a blockchain-based mesh project. We currently have around 6 users on a test network in Oregon, but the product isn't completely done yet and no real payments work yet. Our goal is to create a system where individuals and businesses can participate in a decentralized ISP with the routers "peering" automatically and routing along the cheapest, best paths in the network.

What blockchain gives us is a very low overhead payment system (payment channels), along with decentralized management of IP addresses and networks.

This could all in principle be managed by a centralized server but blockchain gives our systems a more-or-less neutral venue in which people can interact with predetermined rules, whereas a centralized server would put us in the position of arbiter of all interactions on the system.
If you do it for hobby it is not a problem. For IP address if you don't store it indefinitely, like you can anonymise IP after a month. I think you store IP for spam protection, solving user issues, which is lawful basis so you can protect your good interest. Most important you are not passing it to some third party. Second you can always make consent checkbox.

DPO is required only if you really store race, religion, credit card data, health records. If you keep name and IP you do not need a DPO.

There is so much FUD about GDPR, it will pass after a year. Now compliance vendors are having part, a lot of champagne will be opened on May 25th.

In the end if you know, what data you have, why do you have it and who you share it with, it should be good enough.
> Which to me seemed to be a very niche goal, hanging a network of guys who were desperate to be with her.

It's fairly common. People with narcissistic or borderline personality disorder have a very fragile sense of self, and have an excessive need to be wanted by others. The network of guys is probably a kind of self-medication. Needless to say, these disorders generally have detrimental effects on the people around them.
That seems like a bit of a stretch, unless you were actively using Google's services as a tool of your wrongdoing. The EU would be forcing an unrelated private company to act as an arm of law enforcement. It would be like the local police punishing you for speeding by leaning on Applebee's to refuse you service.

Maybe there's a legal precedent for that sort of thing, but I'm not aware of it.
A Simple way to come up with trading strategies using order flow data
That wasn't the premise though. The premise was:

- US company A controls the market for idea B

- EU creates GDPR which scares away company A

In that case where there is a proven market demand for idea B you can either compete with company A (which presumably has more resources than you), or enter into a market that company A has willingly forfeited.

I think the second option will have plenty of takers if it turns out that US companies are that scared of GDPR.
We wrote up a step-by-step example how to use order-flow data. This one is for EUR/USD, but should be applicable to other pairs including crypto pairs where you can get such order-flow data.
Thank you for the reference [1]. Maybe I missed something on the post's paper, but I don't think they make any claims wrt ARTs and hash tables. They do seem to conclude that ARTs are better than the ordered containers they compared them against.

I totally agree. A man who sits at home all day (or even after work), drinks, and plays video games, is not someone who is going to make me a better person, in any respect. I'd cut my losses. The last thing anyone needs is to be associated with a loser.
No. Nothing was found (nailed down, proven) here except that error bounds need to be improved.
Proton VPN is rock solid. I recently made the full switch off gmail to Proton email, and signed up for the VPN as well. It's worked great so far.
This is a ridiculous over-reaction based on an extremely shallow interpretation of the GDPR.

If you are running a small business and you feel that you won't be able to operate your business because of the GDPR consider all those other laws that you have to be in compliance with as well. If that's your attitude towards legal compliance then you should probably shut your business down completely rather than to hope that just ignoring European customers is going to make the bogeyman go away.

Legal compliance is a requirement for any business, and privacy law is just one more thing to take into account and for a small business that does not process super sensitive data (such as medical information or financial information) the costs of compliance are negligible. They're not '0', but then again it is a business and costs of doing business are the norm.
That's completely incorrect. Freemasonry expects religious tolerance. That is, Freemasonry generally believes people have the right to believe and practice religion as their conscience dictates. That also means that generally speaking, Freemasons should respect the religious beliefs of others. That doesn't mean Freemasons are required to adopt other people's religious beliefs or refrain from disagreeing with them.
PII is not the standard for GDPR compliance.
Agreed. There's nothing more exciting in science than finding out that our widely-held beliefs about something are wrong.
Well, kinda. A lot of states will still require your homebuilt car to pass smog, which requires a new, not-built-yourself engine.
If I remember correctly the authors stated it was based off of the theoretical limits of efficiency for a reaction mass drive (e.g. if we could turn mass into acceleration with very little waste energy). Which is a really great conceit in my opinion because it stays hard sci-fi where it matters (e.g. besides the aliens) while still being close enough to our time to be interesting.
This is already falling apart. Some countries like Austria already decided to reprove but not to fine offenders. See German article: https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Keine-Strafen-Oester...

The PGP vulnerability is actually in e-mail clients, and it affects almost nobody. And how often do PGP vulnerabilities happen?

Signal got two vulnerabilities that affect everyone JUST THIS WEEK.
I work on operating systems, which is similarly niche (but probably overall easier to learn and low risk vs fabbing ASICs) an it is very bi-modal. Sr. circuit designers can write their ticket, but you have a lot of warm bodies surrounding them at large companies.
You wrote:

> Europe doesn’t have a stellar record when it comes to high tech startups

Which automatically implies that you were talking about non-EU tech companies leaving EU because of GDPR and EU startups filling their space. And now you fail to see how this will make more likely succeed EU companies? What?

I think you fail to understand what the point of my argument was. It doesn't matter if this will be EU founder or US founder or XX founder, if there is a void it will be filled, doesn't matter who will fill it. This is an axiom describing the free market.

> onerous regulation

I am conducting online business in EU handling personal data and I don't find it onerous at all. Adding to that as EU citizen I am happy that this regulation was introduced in EU law system.
I agree with therapy. You gotta get out of the toxic job, reconcile with your wife and rediscover your kids. I would go work for a bank or the government for a few years because it goes quick and you're missing the good part of middle age ( spouse and kids).
I'm 36 jobless and have swung back to living with my mom after being laid off a few times. Eventually I ended up going broke. Constantly looking for work when you're not employed can do a lot of damage to your leverage and you're more prone to taking another low quality job.

With no disposable money you cannot inject a lot of variety into your life. For me it became a repetitive routine of doing home chores and errands with my mom, followed up with going to a coffee shop with wi-fi just to get out of the home, and applying for jobs online, taking phone interviews or just posting on forums like this one.

Then it starts to suck the motivation out of you, motivation to learn or try new things, work on side projects that you can present to employers, etc. The grind of job hunting without variety in your days is very draining.

I really wish there was a government matchmaking program in the US that would help line up freelance employees with employers.

I am able-bodied, my only "disability" is the ineffectiveness of acing job interviews. I'd rather my government hook me up effectively with a job, than SNAP, medicaid or cash.
Well, try talking to your grandparents or beyond. It was a different time.

Try to imagine. There is no google search to find out how to make children. The closest library is far away and it's not that common to go to school and learn to read. That leaves you with the opinions of the family, the neighbors and the priest, who don't know much either and offer contradictory explanations.
Agreed, I don't see how this possibly cannot be a legitimate interest - the user knows they need to be contacted for a push request to work, even if they don't understand or care about the underlying vagaries of IP addresses.
My brain isn't working very well right now so I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying, but is what you're getting at similar to the metric of "coin days destroyed"? (ie if you send 5 BTC to address foo and those 5 BTC haven't been moved for 365 days then you've destroyed 365*5 coindays
With some exceptions, depending on how you define reaction-less:

They don't do safety inspections in the US?

Doesn't the vehicle need to have brakes, a means to change direction, emission checks and so on?
The number of employees isn't a factor as far as the scale of data processing is concerned - it's the scale of the actual data processing...
Having been around the Rust community for a few years, I'm a bit tired of -rs and rust names.

I feel like the postfix is something languages lose the bigger they get, I hope this happens to rust too.
To your first point, I had a very productive project where instead of as in the article the devs become managers, our project manager was brought very much into the dev team, almost as a tester, using the product daily. He became attuned to the pace of development and never over-promised anything. To your second point, I've had projects where I simply assigned a day to every task, and it turned out remarkably accurate.
There actually is a night mode for this theme that users can toggle to. I'll get it enabled tonight.
In Python 2, the bytecode optimization that lets you access variables by index is turned off if your function has exec code in it that may modify locals.

So if your function is:

def foo(): exec "a=1"; return a

Then running dis.dis on foo to disassemble the bytecode it you will see:

8 LOAD_NAME 0 (a)

while you normally would see:

6 LOAD_FAST 0 (a)

You can't use the exec in locals thing in Python 3 at all I believe.
If a company’s margins are so razor thin that they can’t compete (with other regulated companies), then they may want to rethink their business model.
Are there any US carriers that have been confirmed to not share location data with 3rd parties such as LocationSmart? LocationSmart boasts on their website that they can get the location of 95% of the cell phones in the US... how can I be that 5%?
> it takes the “Catholic” in its name quite seriously.

I'm pretty sure you know about this, but for laymen who may not be familiar with the terminology.

The word "catholic" (little c) literally means "universal". And it is a strong doctrine of the "Catholic church" (big C) that the group of worshipers is singular and universal.
If you type fast, you can probably get a whole username (or personal name, or street address) in without seeing the red warning. (That said, it looks like it _will_ show "not secure" by default, even before you type anything in, on HTTP; it just isn't emphasized unless you enter data.)
the laws you refer to preexisted. Did they tear down all the houses that don't comply with contemporary building standards? I dont think so. GDPR is enforced retroactively on everything since the beginning of the internet.
You are missing my point. The point is that the impact one has writing embedded software is largely defined in the spec. Other than perfectly meeting that spec, there is not a lot of room to go above and beyond and create extra value. I'll admit I am not a 30 year veteran in embedded development, but I did spend a few years in the field.

Embedded development is very time consuming because it's generally so critical to get right and keep bugs to an absolute minimum. Which is also why it's important to keep it as simple as possible. This inherently limits how creative one can get.
Reading through the indictment, it appears that BetOnSports was actively (and repeatedly) advertising within the US. I feel there's a rather clear line between operating in one jurisdiction and merely accepting customers from overseas , vs. actively seeking out customers and doing business in a jurisdiction where your activities are illegal -- I'm not sure I would categorise it as "completely legal in the jurisdiction you are based in" when you are deliberately doing business, and spending money, in another jurisdiction.
No, you don't have to close at all. You just need to comply with the law, just like everybody else. You also need to file your taxes, keep the books in order, ensure that you do not pollute the environment, in some cases you need to be licensed in order to be able to practice your trade and so on.

Why would this particular regulation suddenly cause you to close your business unless you were doing something really shady?
Reactionless thrust is less plausible, yes, but it is strictly impossible. Not all explanations for it involved reactionless thrust. NASA indicated that pilot wave theory might be involved (where the vacuum acts as the propellant). This research is pretty conclusive: it doesn't work. That being said, just because you don't have any reasonable explanation for an effect does not mean that it does not exist.

Flight would have been considered reactionless thrust before it was understood that air had substance.
This is actually true. The rights were brought by Oragenics, who’s well known for dental probiotics, and they started trials. I was quite excited to be following along.

Once the FDA realised the impact, their requirements were inexplicably hiked to be impossible to meet, and the research had to be shelved.
Building codes vary vastly in quality.

Some prevent loss of life.

Some are pointless or even harmful to society. HN complains constantly about insufficiently dense housing....a situation caused by none other than building codes.

When possible, build in places with good codes, not bad ones.
That's correct, but PII is what the person I replied to was talking about.
If you can find 3 crypto engineers who aren’t PGP maintainers that agree with this I might start using PGP for secure comms.
When both sides are OpenVPN 2.4+, AES-256-GCM will be negotiated by default.
IANAL, but that is not the requirement I've heard. It is perfectly valid to insulate one's other assets from corporate creditors. One must voluntarily commingle those assets with corporate assets in order to justify a piercing. It's not always obvious to the careless what will constitute commingling, but this is kind of the point of corporations.

Frankly this post has prompted me to reevaluate your other legal advice in this thread.
And has made his business that much less viable, and opened himself up to competition from a company with a comparable product that does comply with the law.

And maybe one day the USA will pass some privacy legislation...
And all of those also have a lot of nerds who like those things.
TIL in some states they do emissions checks (although in a lot of states motorcycles are totally exempt from those anyway). And no, they don't do safety inspections of "specially constructed vehicles". And based on the ones I've seen, I can't imagine a world in which they'd pass. [1]

Perhaps, when it comes down to it, he doesn't want to be subject to a law that he had no ability to influence given that he's not an EU citizen. In blocking EU users he is fully compliant with the GDPR as he has zero of their personal data to begin with?

Well, the "appropriate indicators" would need to meet the "required standards" mentioned in the parent post. I think the example is ok.
