Legacy is terrifically important to many wealthy people. Many are in fact motivated towards wealth and success because of it.

Depending on how you define it, children are actually a much more reliable way to have a reasonably enduring legacy than businesses/foundations/accomplishments/fame/etc, though both approaches are ultimately ephemeral. You probably have to successfully make it at least three levels down an ancestor tree, rooted at yourself and with an average replacement rate around 2, in order for your own genetic legacy to have a high statistical likelihood of enduring through anything short of a species-level catastrophe.

I can't find any exemption for small companies in Article 37 of the GDPR. Can you give me a hint what part do you interpret this way?
Ask the regulators. The ICO provide comprehensive guidance documents, a wide range of tools to facilitate compliance and a dedicated helpline for small organisations. They're extremely busy at the moment, but they'll be more than happy to explain your obligations under the GDPR and the best way of achieving compliance.

Classic consultant move. Trash talk current status quo, rebrand old solution and package it as the holy grail and make $$$ selling your services. What he proposes will also always fail because it is a process dictated from the top down - hire expensive consultants to tell management what to do then dictate solution to rest of org.

I cannot let this topic go by without recommending this fantastic interview with an artist who created a model of David Bowie's early-career teeth: http://w.dental-tribune.com/articles/news/europe/21686_inter...
This reminds me of the advice: Don't write articles that can be answered with a single word "no".

Unlike startups, it's not like Google's business depends on investors supporting lofty goals. There would seem to be no benefit to faking a demo like this.

Not revealing the business location is likely just because they consider their business partners to be business data that they don't want to give away to competitors. Clean auto could easily just be done via a simple noise filter, just for the sake of the demo. When you have a little noise in your ear, it's not bad. But when you need to broadcast sound to an entire stadium, you need to rebalance it. This story is a load of nonsense.
You're making the incorrect assumption - deliberately, I presume - that the people writing the legislation have anything to do with how the website operates. You're wrong, of course. The EU(P) is a very large and very complex organization, just like many multinationals.

Should they eat their own dog food? Probably. But pretending there's some kind of hypocrisy going on is stretching it.

We are drifting away from my original claim here, into new claims where I actually mostly agree with you. The original claim was "Illegal immigration hurts low-skilled American workers", and I responded saying "No it doesn't, because those immigrants are taking jobs that wouldn't otherwise be filled, at least in the produce market that presently exists".

Whether people should be willing to may more for their produce, and whether the treatment of these workers is ethically defensible - those are separate questions. I would be totally fine with paying real wages for produce-picking and then subsequently tightening immigration, but there's the paying market we'd like to have and the one we've actually got.

One of my children was recruited by Harvard. Their recruiters open with a line very similar to what they put on their website [0]: "70% of Harvard students receive some form of financial aid. A Harvard education is more affordable than a state school for 90% of American families."

My general rule of thumb is that if it takes more than 4 clicks to discover the tuition costs of a school, they are embarrassed. If they are embarrassed it means that even they can't justify the value proposition.

With some digging I see that Harvard claims [1] annual tuition > $50k. Before they tell you that, they promise you a $67K scholarship.

Given those numbers, you can actually make money if you can live for less than $17K/year after tuition. So, yeah, it might really pay off.

Oh, Harvard is also very clear that after you graduate you owe them a lifelong contribution. There is no question that they are expecting 7 figures back. But it seems reasonable that they get you the clerkship or whatever first that puts you in a position to pay back that kind of money.

​Samsung S9: The fastest smartphone of them all
I think the negative sentiment is largely because of how much the bitcoin evangelists promise. There's a lot of hype and lofty goals tossed around but cryptocurrencies have been around for nearly a decade (If I remember bitcoin started early 2009) and they mostly seem to be used for fraud and speculation now. I'm not saying that the technology is fundamentally useless but the mismatch between delivery and retoric has made me sour on it.

A good more concrete example of this is the DAO from Ethereum. A lot of verbage was wasted beforehand saying how it was going change everything about corporations and investment but as far as I can tell little has changed.
> Obviously, this is needed for a notification to be delivered to the right person.

This seems pretty clearly a case of 'Legitimate Interest'. Filling in a couple of page word document (a LIA) and keeping it somewhere on the off-chance that someone queries you, is likely sufficient from my understanding. (This is not legal advice).
Likening WireGuard to qmail is not doing them any favours.

DJB abandoned the qmail codebase years ago.

When he was still actively maintaining qmail, I knew of multiple cases where bugs were reported, but DJB declared them to be "non problems" and therefore he didn't have to pay out his bug bounty. And yet those "non bugs" got fixed in the next release.

DJB has a history of saying one thing a certain way, but when someone else says the exact same thing in slightly different way, he declares them to have committed heresy, libel, and/or slander, and then starts talking about filing a lawsuit against them.

In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if he were to threaten you with a lawsuit over comparing his product to WireGuard.

I would recommend that maybe you might want to find a better way to explain the difference.
>The natural result of Atheistic Naturalism is, to me, nihilism and its accompanying depression,

This is a view of atheism which seems predicated on a common theist belief that morality and "purpose" can only exist through belief in a divine being. Yet there are plenty of atheists who are neither nihilistic nor depressed - and plenty of theists who are.

One can believe that life has value, and that life can have a purpose in the context of humanism, and one can even have spirituality without embracing a belief in the supernatural or the divine. As Douglas Adams said, isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

Hi Hacker news!

So yea ... hug of death. Wasn't expecting it to get any attention at all (but that begs the question, why did I submit??).

Anyway, this is an idea I've been sitting on for a while and finally got around to doing something with it. Nothing fancy (this is the first personal project that I've "deployed", and would really appreciate any sort of feedback).

I think it's interesting to look at how companies write rejection letters. It's also a bit cathartic -- I'm finishing up uni and starting to look for work, having a collection of rejection letters makes me feel better about receiving them.

Maybe, but GDPR is not the only business-hostile regulation EU has. Together they make an environment in which even 550m users may not be worth it for the small startup. They will simply pivot to the more competitive, but freer, US market.
Could try something like Icarus Verilog for an open source compiler and start building some toy designs. There are some good communities and blogs to find help.
OpenVPN can also be configured to operate a near line speed. It all depends on the underlying hardware, software, and configuration you're using.

Without being more specific in those areas and benchmarking the best reasonable configuration of one tool against the best reasonable configuration of the other tool, and then holding the rest of the factors constant, you've created a completely implausible and unsupportable conclusion.

I'm not saying that WireGuard isn't faster. I'm saying that you have done a poor job of describing how it is faster, and pointing to benchmark references to back up your claims.
Something to do with transportation and logistics really. Free trade is just not going away despite populists doing their dardnest to make it more difficult and free trade runs on transporting stuff from A to B easily.

If you could innovate something minor in that field, I'm talking something that impacts maybe 5% of the shipping process, that's an absurdly big market.

However, don't do like the airlines and build your business plan on having exclusive agreements with nice and naive governments. Once that special treatment stops and they let smaller players in party's over.

Imagine you have a fleet of vehicles and one of your drivers just had a fender-bender or seen one occur. One or both of the involved parties will call the police and notify insurance agencies. Sometimes the evidence, as deemed by you to favor your situation can get moved around or shuffled by local authorities. With my service, you'll be able to post as many pictures or videos as you like of the actual event. Our in-vehicle dash-cams will also collaborate the information you're uploading. The complete offering and system helps you secure a better insurance rate saving you millions. I just need $4.5MM to get started.

> I wouldn't be surprised if Intel came up with tools which help make use of the FPGA using higher languages like C.

These (almost by necessity) make you write code that doesn't look like any other C code. You can't just use some pre-existing C library and compile it to use FPGA resources. At that point, why not go a step further and just use a proper HDL?
> Europe doesn’t have a stellar record when it comes to high tech startups. For many reasons.

For many reasons indeed, this is broad topic and GDPR doesn't change anything if we are talking about big US players and their domination. None of them is getting out of EU.

> And I am afraid GDPR has just added another one.

I disagree, it's the other way around. Small single person companies/developers that will get out from EU market will could only strengthen local market. Any other US/EU/outside EU startup/developer can fill that void.
I'm not sure if you're being serious here. The bulk of available tuition assistance comes from financial aid, which usually isn't offered to families at or above roughly upper middle.

I also assume you'd only go to a private college that ranks highly, which means low access to meaningful amounts of income/wealth-independent scholarship money. A low-ranked private college is usually no better than many public ones.

That view is ahistorical. Anti-immigrant sentiment has always been directed at the source of the immigration. When Chinese began immigrating in the mid-late 19th century, immigration was suddenly a problem and so we had the national origins formula which ruled until 1965.

But do they really need to answer those questions? Clearly they don't want to publisize the establishments that they called. The most likely record calls (although they probably don't know if the final product will) and why would they confirm that they have done something illegal.

Just curious (to you or anyone else affected), would you be willing to give up your rights under the GDPR, with regards to this company specifically, to regain access? Do you believe you should have a right to trade these rights of yours or is it in the general good that companies cannot offer an easy GDPR opt out?
It's legal because there's no law prohibiting it.
Yes, for these particular suffixes the problem is considered insurmountably bad, they're basically poisonous.

For a while Microsoft was telling companies to use .corp internally, these days their advice warns against this, but good luck getting a huge company to change anything in less than a lifetime.

When I say these names are poisonous I mean that in two senses

1. A tremendous number of people can't resolve your name in this suffix. Many of them won't know why, and can't really be expected to "fix" the problem.

2. Name servers for these suffixes receive a tremendous amount of "bogus" traffic that leaked from people who used these names but didn't properly seal them off from the Internet. Serving this traffic costs money.

Now, we recently saw for 1.1.1.1 that something so badly abused as to be poisonous can be reclaimed anyway if the people using it go in with their eyes open. I'd liken this to the practice of marking low value areas known to have some unexploded munitions buried as unsafe for humans and letting people run sheep, goats or cattle on that land on the understanding that (1) under no circumstances are people to enter and (2) sometimes an animal will explode, that's too bad, but hey the land was rent-free and would otherwise be useless. But just selling off land with unexploded munitions for building a new housing estate is clearly negligent.

Ask HN: What companies succeeded/failed in morphing from product to ecosystem?
To clarify, the question centers on a common challenge for successful startups: how do you transition from a single product -- the product for which you're known for -- into a company with multiple viable, related products (e.g., bundle/ecosystem) serving the same user?

For instance, Google Docs serves the knowledge worker but Google Cloud does not, so while these are two successful products, they would not form an ecosystem/bundle in this definition.

Square is attempting this transformation from a payment provider to a whole solution for small businesses.

Dropbox is attempting to morph from file-sharing into a collaboration platform for knowledge workers.

Groupon is attempting to morph from daily deals into a site for saving consumers money.

1) Which companies are the best role models for how to transform into a multi-product company?

2) Why did these companies succeed where others did not?

3) Which companies offer the best cautionary tales?
