Probably because that's a dumb exemption. Number of employees is pretty fucking irrelevant when it comes to data. By this standard, Cambridge Analytica would have had lessened burden on regarding objections to processing, demands for data deletion and so on.
Sure we could come up with a bunch of reasons each way. They're probably all wrong. But why are we speculating? Just go ask some rich people why they want/don't want X number of children and they will tell you.
Resolution is the main factor. Landsat is ~15m, DigitalGlobe is ~0.5m
Current HN title is both not the source title and a misrepresentation of the point of the article. Both the title and body criticize “acephalic Agile”, which the author defines as the use of Agile tools without Agile governance. This is not arguing that “Agile is worse than Waterfall”, but at most “a particular mode of quasi-Agile is worse than Waterfall”.

(Given that the Agile Manifesto doesn't say anything directly about tools but entirely lays out a philosophy addressing governance, I'd actually argue that “Agile” tools without Agile governance aren't anything like Agile, and aren't even really Agile tools; Agile tools are tools chosen for a particular tasks through Agile governance, at a level higher than the governance level this price addresses, and applied within an Agile governance process at the level this piece addresses, which is not to endorse the particular governance approaches in this article or it'd horrendous strawmanning of Waterfall, which inasmuch as it is a real model, is an iterative model of exactly the type this piece is advocating.)
I was in this space for a while, working on Airport sensors and then Elevator controllers.

Every job I found was short term or contract. I really enjoyed the work but I did not enjoy the ever-present need to be looking for a job.

Was I just looking in the wrong place or is it mostly short term/ contract work?
How do you get into HDL and FPGAs? Seems like it will become a more and more important skill since all other avenues in performance improvement have come to a halt.
> The energy consumed on mining represents a an input cost based on an expected return on investment, like energy spent on car manufacturing, for example. if the return falls, so will input costs because no one operates at a loss for long.

A significant number of operators in places like China are stealing electricity, either by tapping into wires or by making deals with corrupt local officials for reduced/free electricity. Articles such as these occur quite regularly.

As such, there really isn't a "price floor" to crypto mining. Stolen electricity is free, they will keep mining no matter what.
how do I know that I will not be? that's the issue
Well in the UK the only criminal offenses under gdpr are around falsifying records to fool the regulator or attempting to deanonymise data. Both of which are punishable by a fine, not prison. And since you can't go to prison for a civil offense I think your comment is misguided.

Now if the state has got to the levels of your tasteless gas-chamber example, i don't think you need worry about data protection law
Can you show me such a definition?
That's a big assumption. In an executive/owner role where, say, you are the CTO, surely data protection (and therefore the risks and penalties involved in controlling this data) are a core concern? Owning or being in an executive position seems to me to be an investment of interest, not a conflict.

And even if such a conflict does arise, as it surely will somewhere, the text linked states that the controller and processor shall ensure that such a conflict does not exist. It does not say that "You can't do this because 'conflict of interest'", it just says those two roles will ensure there will be no conflict of interest. If you read all the guidance, you will see that the DPO is the most protected role. It has the least liability. The data controller and processor have their own responsibilities, from a liability pov.

Unless you are the business owner/executive, DPO, data controller and data processor...I can't see this being a conflict of interest. Ever.
It comes down essentially to that understanding. For well-understood problems waterfall might even be the best possible method.

It's only for not well understood problems that it fails so completely. In software, in my opinion, fewer problems are well understood at the moment, and so we tend to avoid waterfall.

However, if someone wanted me to set up a webserver to serve static files that don't change? I'm 99% sure I could set up nginx on a virtual machine "fully waterfall" and have no problems.

The same is true for many other real life "waterfall" processes, like buildings, or bridges.
I was a little vague in my original statement because I think there's a lot of areas of improvement across the board, but I was specifically thinking of the virtual meeting when I wrote that answer.

There's no denying that something gets lost on a Zoom/WebEx/other conference call - attendees are distracted, miscommunications happen, and people have to be assertive to get their message across. This can be overcome by a small team that is 110% driven in their goal, but it's a model that can't be adapted by all industries/sizes/cultures.

I'm still not sure what the solution to this is, but I think there will be a dramatic paradigm shift. Maybe the trigger will be VR or some disruptor we already see coming, but it may be something more approachable.

All of those tools you listed are CRUD-based. I think the space would benefit from something more reactive, where multiple people can "play" on the same screen.
> registering for a push does make an HTTP call which logs a user’s IP and this requires GDPR compliance. APNS push tokens are associated with devices which can be traced back to a user if combined with info on the originating XMPP server. Obviously, this is needed for a notification to be delivered to the right person.

Article 6, Paragraph 1, seems to cover those two parts of data collection. Logging a user's IP for security is acceptable, as is logging for a legitimate interests of the user (or operator) as long as it do not conflict with the interest of the data subject in regard to their need for data protection. APNS push tokens seems to fit that description quite well.
> But it's not "their" data. It's the webmaster's data.

No

> It rightfully belongs to the webmaster.

No, you are completely wrong here. The basic point of the legislation (and other privacy legislation in the EU that came before GDPR) is that a users personal data absolutely does not belong to the someone else once collected.
You sure? Europe doesn’t have a stellar record when it comes to high tech startups. For many reasons. And I am afraid GDPR has just added another one.
The better approach seems to be "trial and error," where different states pass their own regulations. This way in 5-10 years it would become clearer what works and what does not.
Has there been a reduction in legal immigration? Just curious what the actual numbers are.
That's not the discussion here. GP claimed that the law varied state by state. I'm asking to be shown such a law which gives police increased latitude to use force.
Think about what Volkswagon did. Companies can, at very high levels, commit incredibly blatant illegal acts on a massive scale, and can successfully cover it up for a significant amount of time.

I suspect you'd be surprised what skeletons Google has in their closet.

Why do you think Google is so scared to answer journalists' questions, if you are confident in the veracity of the demo?
This model tends to work well at the upper end of the price range/credential spectrum. Various kinds of investment firms (particularly PE) incorporate 'expert calls' as a core component of their scoping process.

Harder to make work on the consumer side because the price that market will bear doesn't attract high-quality advisors.
I agree totally that most will do fine without, but the parent comment cited the fact that few devs know about bytecode/jvm to support not knowing wasm. But descriptive statements don't imply prescriptive statements. So just because most have no clue, doesn't make it "right", or able to be used as justification.

I wouldn't call myself a Java dev - I mean I know Java like 99% percent of the world does - so I may have a terrible perspective on this anyways. Although knowing the basics of how Java source code -> running process would certainly help any Java dev.
When I was a young child I told my mom I shouldn't have to brush my teeth since cavemen didn't have to brush their teeth.

She replied "yes, but cavemen could die at 20 years old from painful tooth infections that spread up to their brain"

I never complained about brushing my teeth again.
I'm guessing they would be interested in 550m unserved users in a single-market for a validated business idea, regardless of GDPR.
Covering catastrophic care would probably end up killing this business..

There’s a doctor in my city that started his own practice with a monthly subscription fee and covering basic care.

> you can't be sued except by the regulator

Regulators. "Member State shall provide for one or more independent public authorities to be responsible for monitoring the application of this Regulation".

So, 28 countries, each with 1+ organizations. So you could find yourself having to deal with multiple parties in different languages.
I appreciate hearing something back. I remember once hearing absolutely nothing for weeks until I had to actually email them to ask, receiving my unfortunate news immediately after.
The author of the article is missing a negotiation essential to XP, at least: the customer can change his or her mind, but the scheduled tasks are based on developer estimates on how long they will take.

You can't make these estimates with any accuracy without the customer and at least some developers talking. Furthermore, customers aren't likely to pick something that the developers have estimated will take a long time, unless it really is that important to spend that much time on it.

Also, large tasks need to be broken down into smaller tasks to get decent estimates, which means knowing roughly what needs to be done. If the job isn't obvious, something quite like traditional planning needs to happen there.

The planning difference is really for smaller changes that don't have far-reaching consequences.
Wow, a bunch of angry people but no reasoning behind calling it idiotic.
There's also a lag associated with fertility rate decreases.

Even if the children-per-woman rate has decreased sharply, the population can still be increasing for decades afterwards, because there are still a sharply higher absolute number of women in the relatively-lower-rate birthing generation, thanks to the rate having been higher in the past when they were born.

Not caring about lower fertility rates because you don't realize that there's a temporary lag keeping the population increase high seems very careless.
SMTP is federated. Did GDPR outlaw email?

I am assuming the answer is no, but would a startup be able to build a SMTP or NNPT like system today? It would be a shame for the GDPR to be yet another force moving the Internet from its historical decentralization reinforcing the current centralization trend.
In my experience when I was married and lived this way (without kids), the "male" tasks were comparatively quite difficult and frequently involved specialized knowledge, but didn't take all that much time compared to all the cooking and cleaning my ex-wife did, though sometimes it required some late hours if a project needed to be done at a certain time.

In our case, I worked a full-time tech job while my ex either wasn't working at all, or for a while was in a technical school (which wasn't taking all that much of her time), plus for a while we had several rental houses that we had to do repairs and upgrades on. So I did auto repair, tile installation, plumbing repair, etc., while she did most of the cooking and cleaning, and some things we shared like painting.
Yes it matters. One of my go to "Hello World" type of programs that I use to write when learning a new framework or language was an Eliza like chatbot. Whenever I chatted with it, it worked amazingly well even when I was trying to test for corner cases.

The minute someone else used it, the illusion was shot. It's really easy to make a chatbot work when you keep it on the rails - even when you're not intending too.
> If people named Jane are more likely to eat ice cream, you can't target ice cream ads at them and help keep your site free, without asking them.

Apart from the fact that people named Jane aren't more likely to eat ice cream, you seem to criticize that it gets harder to target ads?

Oh no, that's a real pity. Oh no, poor webmasters.
Actually I agree with you, if a society at some point believes it has progressed enough and feel happy enough, there is no internal reason to pursue growth at any expense.

Japan may decide that being self sufficient and self reliant offers them the best return on their lifestyle.
Don't you think the blame here on the methodology is misplaced? It just sounds like a bad team/company, that'll perform just as poorly with "waterfall"

The borders weren’t basically wide open then.
> When it's a one man show, you can't afford these kinds of unknowns.

One really can. It took me all of a few seconds to shrug of the GDPR when I first heard of it. Then, with all the scare mongering (webserver logs will be illegal!), I spent a few minutes reading up on it. It's all more than reasonable: if you're not doing anything shady, or are being negligent bordering on incompetent, you can just shrug it off and sleep soundly.
I have been obsessed with similar thoughts.

I am learning VR Development in my free time just to explore this. I want to make a VR guided meditation program, to help beginning mediators reach deeper states than they would normally be able to.
Show HN: Richie – an app that lets you invest with friends without sharing money
I can only think you are not familiar with European principle based law vs US rule based law. Where you see 'vague', I see 'flexible' and 'able to move with the times'
Wait, yesterday? And the fix is already deployed to production today? That's either some truly impressive engineering from a company that made a freshman-year-level security mistake, or whatever patch they put in place to fix this is just as leaky as the original bugged version and it's just a matter of time.
Let’s Not Forget How Wrong Our Crime Data Are
While this developer may be overreacting (he probably doesn't need a DPO), i understand why it might just be easier to block it , at least until there are precedents about how to comply and more info on how the regulation will be enforced.

GDPR can be scary for developers, because nobody actually knows how a website or app is supposed to work (I have yet to see a single example), and it requires a series of steps that are not trivial on the administrative side. The Right to be forgotten is the easy part. Having to document everything you do and introduce data-dumping mechanisms that are both anonymous and secure is administrative burden. Having to do that for every little project that you release, even if it has 10 users, is a bit too much. Many developers cast a wide net, releasing products often, and this is practically unnecessary work unless you have a significant amount of users.

Introducing opt-in forms everywhere is also not great. It didn't work for Windows Vista so why do we expect this to work on the web? Opt-ins for things like cookies should be implemented on the browser. What's the point of warning a person before sharing their email? What's the point of warning them even you 'll install a cookie? IP addresses and cookies etc are integral parts of the HTTP protocol and the browser so why not introduce anti-tracking regulation that targets browser vendors and telcos instead of introducing regulation that targets every developer on the planet? It doesn't seem like an optimal plan imho. The example of the cookie law (for which it's hard to argue that it has not utterly failed) should act as a bad precedent, not a good one.

It's easy for US developers to be positive of GDPR because they can avoid the overreaching parts, but for us in the EU its something we have to abide by 100% of the time. I 'd like to hear what other people think about those, because otherwise i hear a lot of emotional praise for GDPR which is blind to how problematic it is at day 0.
> This page would've been more effective on me if it objectively described how WireGuard was better than these technologies.

Not to mention telling me where to find the code.
Sort of like what https://www.skywatch.co/ is doing?
I think I have a good understanding of our legal system. I have a pre-law degree, and I have studied this particular topic extensively.

> Qualified immunity is what allows members of the government to do things that would otherwise be illegal for regular people

Holy shit. Are you serious? That's your summary of qualified immunity?

You are just completely, absurdly, absolutely incorrect here. The "qualified" in qualified immunity means that the conduct in question doesn't violate clearly established law. So you have it exactly backwards.

And even if you were right, qualified immunity is a civil concept. It is wholly unrelated to the matter of the amount of force that otherwise constitutes a criminal violation when effecting an arrest.

It is also not "a law" (you have said it's "the law" that I'm looking for), it's a legal doctrine regarding the confines of liability under section 1983.

> I am not sure what specifically you want

It's exceedingly simple. I want an example of a state which, on a statutory basis, permits different levels of force for the purpose of effecting an arrest for police in contrast to other citizens. That's what GP said existed. I don't think it does exist. So that's what I'm asking for.
The Apple Newton also demoed well and that wasn't "faked" either.
>Oh no, that's a real pity. Oh no, poor webmasters.

Why are the rights of people who own websites less important to you than the rights of other people?

Regardless, you might not still be saying this once half the websites smaller than Google become subscription-based in the EU or just block the EU altogether.
Thank you! Introduces me to a whole new universe out there!
Software engineers are unlike almost any other advanced technical field, as in there is so much demand and so much change in the field that degrees aren't as important. After a few years of experience, that's what matters more. But i bet that first job is hard to get.
It is! I find the writing fascinating...especially the overly aggro names like "Switchblade®" and the funny phrases like "man-portable delivery system", "warfighter", and "wave-off capability". (not sure what that last one means...)

It also seems like the URL actually has a typo? The page has the title "Tactical Missile Systems" but the URL is for "/tactical-mission-systems"
Do I misunderstand this section: "Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77, each data subject shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy where he or she considers that his or her rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of his or her personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation." That sounds like you can be sued by any subject on their whim?
The point of GDPR is to switch collecting users’ personal data from being a benefit to being a liability. That will absolutely cause short term pain to some companies that hadn’t expected this, but it ends up as a long term benefit to society, the same as most legislation.
A great part of how uncomfortable it is for some people, perhaps, but not the author of the original piece.
For what it's worth, I've got two kids and live in a 2bd. apartment in SF. I'll never be able to afford a house in the city, but I like my job and I'm not willing to commute from the outermost burbs I could afford. And it's totally worth it.

Yes, having kids brings some limitations with it, but it's also one of the very best experiences that one can have.

I hear a lot of young professionals express fear that they can't afford "a big enough house" or that "the city isn't good for kids." Here's the thing, the kids do not care. They don't think they they live in a small apartment. They just think their home is next door to the bakery that sells their favorite oatmeal cookies. That they can walk to beautiful parks and libraries and schools. It's just normal to them, they're happy, and they aren't comparing themselves to the 50's era stereotypes of what "lifestyle" is "healthy" for kids.

SF is a great place for kids. All the parks and rec programs are so much fun and so cheap, the kids here have access to the abundant cultural and educational resources that aren't available at any price in most of the world.

I say this not because anyone should be convinced to have a kid. But, if you want to have children and the thing that is holding you back is a materialistic fear that you won't be able to "provide a good enough life" for them, or that the city "won't be a good place for them," just know that isn't necessarily true.

The best way I know how to express this for young urban professionals is to compare it to world travel. You probably know people from your home town who have never left, and how their world view is kind of small. It's not that they need to move away from home, but you know from experience how much traveling has opened your mind and enriched your life, and you wish they would choose to have that experience too. If they say to you "oh, but travel is so expensive," you know that isn't necessarily true, you can have an amazing travel experience on a dime if you want to.

Parenting is a lot like that. What kids care about is having parents that love them and care about them. If you can do that part, they won't care too much about the rest.
Have to agree this is a major pain point for wider adoption. The current tools are mainly developed by a few big EDA vendors. I'm hoping, through the growth of open hardware communities, we'll start to see more friendly tools making progress.
I obviously wasn't talking in a legal sense, I was talking in a "what's actually right and good" sense. The law doesn't make something right. Rightfully, the information belongs to the webmaster. Under GDPR, users get to put a leash and muzzle on webmasters.
Even though that's a personal risk you're willing to take, it might not be one everyone else is willing to. One might question a law that asks everyone to take risks (or pay/pray for peace of mind).
At a minimum, it has to completely shatter any notion that reality and your perception of reality are the same thing.
A better question to ask is "Why not?" :D
I'm not being obtuse. I'm asking for documentation of a specific, unambiguous claim in the form of a link to a statute in a particular state which provides for different levels of lawful force in effecting an arrest for police in contrast to other citizens. Provide such a link and I'll acknowledge that I was incorrect.
