I actually don't think that's necessarily fair on MySpace. With facebook it's so low effort to post or share some garish random crap to your timeline that everyone (or at least most people) are doing it all the time. With MySpace, like Geocities, at least you had to put in a bit more effort. The results weren't necessarily better but the volume of crap was simply lower due to most people being too lazy to post it.

When I read things like this I realize how many companies are not treating user data as they should. Protecting user data should already be built into the company software and process.

Given FB revelations and additional scrutiny to Google, I see some form of this law coming to the US.

The reason I think it's mostly speculation and fraud is that the only people I know who have crypto currency in real life have it as a speculative investment and that combined with the fact that it doesn't work well as a payment processor (historically it's been slow and expensive and even mainstream companies that used to take it seem to have often discontinued support). I actually don't think they are mostly fraud, I think they are mostly speculation and fraud is just the outcome ofof a speculative market with little regulation. I would be happy to hear about more use cases but most I've heard about have either been small toy use cases or "in the works".

If you repeatedly triangulate a phone at < 100m resolution for a few hours, it should become trivial to identify its exact location. The more people in the area, the less reliable the method is. But in rural or suburban areas, it's going to be pretty good.

You would still use mTurk to recruit participants, so you still benefit from their filters for acceptance rate etc. You would just implement the survey (probably with some attention checks to weed out people who just randomly answer questions), and at survey completion you give them a code to submit to complete the mTurk hit.

Then you would only accept the submissions that have passed the attention checks, and pay those mTurkers.

I don't really think his concept of a nerd works, since he lumps in lots of extraneous charateristics and values.

I think a more explanatory description would be, a nerd is somebody who is primarily interested in technical questions. That predisposes nerds to avoid ambiguity - but by no means excludes nerds like literature professors, who are absolutely obsessed with ambiguity.

It's generally a better idea to categorise people by priorities, as opposed to preferences - since preferences tend to be very variable.

Come on. The penalty for operating your lemonade stand incorrectly is not 20 million.

I think people should be glad about this in the long run, it shows the law has teeth. Some things are going to shut down as a result of this, that is a normal result of added regulations. If nothing changed it would prove the law didn’t do anything.

There are plenty of food businesses that just never start because of the regulations involved. Our societies have decided that’s okay- but it’s still something we decided, because you can’t have it both ways. People who take one look at it and say “nah, not worth it” are not necessarily overreacting. It’s petty to paint it that way, and certainly unhelpful.
I think you've got it backwards. GDPR is bringing civility back. I think it's great legislation that favors peoples privacy over business profits made by invading that privacy. As a business owner myself, I'm glad something like GDPR came along. I think it better reflects the society I want to live in.
If you've ever looked at clinical trial data, you can see the list of symptoms reported in the placebo arm. It's actually quite interesting. These patient received no drug, but will complain about a whole list of symptoms.

As a result, drugs with very few side effects will still have a list of "this drug may cause" that aren't drug related at all.

However, the FDA still requires those to be listed. In such lists you often see contradictory side effects like constipation and diarrhea, sleepiness and nervousness and non-specific complaints.
Yes. We've had PECR for years. If companies are surprised by GDPR they're probably already violating PECR.

But, dispite this widespread non-compliance and fierce fines available to the regulators the sky hasn't fallen. Why do people think GDPR is sudden;y going to make things so much worse?

"freely given" is not a very clear concept in these circumstances. Parents do not want to antagonise the school and/or put their child at some kind of disadvantage, so they sign. Is that still "freely given"? It looks like GDPR is being used (as an excuse?) to make parents sign things which otherwise they might not. I hear you say that that is not the problem of GDPR and you can withdraw your consent later but how many will know that or remember to do so?

From the above "school might have to reprint all its publicity materials if consent is withdrawn" it is clear that this would be viewed as being antagonistic towards the school and its interests.

I don't find failing to be differentiable all that strange, even if the failure is on a perfect nowhere dense set.

What I find weird is that the derivative, if it exists, cannot have a jump discontinuity. That means that the only other kind of discontinuity it can have is infinite oscillation like sin(1/x) near zero.

This one is a bit of an obscure property of derivatives, corollary to theorem 5.12 in Baby Rudin.
As an European (Finnish), Fuck The GDPR. It is literal cancer.

It is a stepping stone to arbitrary enforcement laws: "Trust us, we do no harm".

This is not how laws should be written. This goes 100% against anything that is fair in this world. Either you write laws that apply (and are enforced) the same to everyone or you just fucking don't.

If you can't do that you shouldn't be writing laws that affect milliards of people.

How Flutter Succeeds at Cross Platform Development
Why not? Are they afraid of users from low-income countries flooding the site?
Yes, in my experience, solving a problem / feature well involves three steps:

1. Get the code to work
2. Clean up the code
3. Simplify the code

1 is self explanatory. 2 involves removing any logical redundancy, separating and cleaning the logic into methods, etc. 3 involves simplifying logic and logical mechanisms.

Most developers only do step 1 and maybe step 2. Step 3 is where beauty comes in.

If I could organize my thoughts around this concept, it would probably make a pretty good article. I don't know who the source is but a good quote goes something like this, "real genius isn't solving the complex, it's solving the complex in a simple way."

I agree. Mistfall (and z0mbie himself) was years ahead of its time.

For those not aware of Mistfall: typical viruses simply append their code to the target. To avoid detection, polymorphism was introduced: viruses generate permutations of decryption logic for the actual static but encrypted virus body. The next step was metamorphism: the virus body itself got permuted. Mistfall was one step further: it disassembled the host, merged in its own permuted body and rebuilt the host. Here is an article by the author himself [1]. This was in 2000.

In general, before hacking and cybercrime became a commercial activity, there was a lively virus writing scene, where highly skilled people played the cat and mouse game with anti virus producers, created magazines with the sources of their creations and wrote articles.

Too bad that z0mbie disappeared. Sometimes when news about elite Russian hackers hits the news I wonder if it's him.

> The US has never passed a law that is this easy to violate outside of its own borders

The US has a law requiring US citizens living and working outside of the US to file taxes in the US. Not doing that is a crime. You'll probably argue that this is different, since it concerns American citizens, but it isn't different, because it's a US law that is very easy to violate outside of its borders.
Congrats for the hard work ! This lib is a pleasure to use !
I have a feeling there are a significant number of people who are young enough to have only worked in digital media, and who aren't used to the idea that businesses are regulated. It's been such a free-for-all until now that they're not used to the idea that there might be externally-imposed limitations on what they can do. I don't mean that in a dismissive way - nobody willingly reads complex legislation in industries that they're not involved in - but it would explain some of the more naive complaints.

I liked the aisle, but have a lot of issues with it. This is one of my main ones: IP addresses and information security. Quoting you:

> Storing an IP for a limited time for security reasons is fine. Have rules in place for how this data is used and when it is deleted. Don't keep it longer than nessescary.

How long is necessary? What does limited mean? Does a regulator now get to determine what sort of algorithms I can use to protect my assets? Advanced persistent threats (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_persistent_threat) can exist over a very extended--and arbitrary time period! I'm in the security software industry, and we and our customers need to detect and react to these threats. That requires data which you simply cannot obtain an opt-in for. Sure, you put that in a posted privacy policy, but if you can only keep the data for 30 days, this means actual evidence of a crime might need to be thrown out.

> Setting the PID to 0x64 would be a silent SMS known as a 'type 0' SMS which all handsets receive and must acknowledge without indicating its receipt to the user. As previously mentioned, this has been used by law enforcement to actively 'ping' a handset on a network.

I don't like that. Why should a device that I have paid for contain this backdoor? Manufacturers should not forget from whom they get the money.

It might be difficult to fix in hardware but if it is handled in software then open source projects like Android could do it and do not reply to silent SMS or display them to the user.
You've misread the legislation. The maximum sentences you're referring to are for summary convictions at a magistrates court. Possession of a controlled substance is an each-way offence which can be tried at either a magistrates or crown court. There is a higher maximum sentence if your offence is tried at a crown court, which is listed in schedule 4, namely "5 years or a fine, or both".
You're not answering the question at all. Being an imperialist power and oppressing other people is good for you as a society if you win (just ask the British; they're still enjoying the fruits of their imperial policy after all this time), even if other people find it morally reprehensible. This doesn't equate in any way to believing that accepting immigration is helpful to the society.

Just look at modern-day China: the Han Chinese ethnic group dominates, and oppresses all the minority groups. China is not a country with a lot of immigration either (nor do they have a shortage of people). So far, it seems to be working out for them, though admittedly it sucks for the minorities.

100%. This is going to be one of the big struggles with AI, especially in an interaction like driving. By and large, I don't think humans realize how much they misperceive things, and make little mistakes. How many times have you momentarily seen a face in a bush when it's dark, misheard a sound as your name, thought that you saw a dear old friend across the room, failed to figure out where the lanes are on the road?

We're really good at adjusting to these little mistakes, covering them up, because they're insignificant. But we do them constantly...and then forget they happened. I think that most of us overestimate humans' abilities in really mundane matters. We do well, not because we don't make mistakes, but because we recover from them quickly. (And when they're done in a social context, we have rules of politeness that usually allow us to forgive others' tiny mistakes.)

That high evaluation of our own cognitive ability means that an AI that's "less" than that, which makes "silly" mistakes, isn't good enough. Even if an AI makes far fewer mistakes than a human would at some task, any mistake is evidence that it's not good enough, because "no human would have made that mistake". Our meta-perception of our own perception is so clouded by (natural) hubris that we can't even realistically imagine a typical human's performance for comparison.

This, to me, was a great revelation about the human mind when I studied AI: perception is hard, and I'm actually not that good at it. I just muddle through, with some kind of metaprocess smoothing over all these silly little bumps. (And there's an interesting link here, too, to old meditative practices.)
Ask HN: Does anyone want to pair program with me?
I wanted to try out an experiment: I’m going to offer to pair program with anyone on pretty much anything. For ~an hour, I’ll work with you on whatever you want over google hangouts/ something else.

I’m happy to work on whatever you want. I'm most comfortable with Scala/Postgres/AWS and have some vague muscle memory for Ruby and Rails from a past time.

Some examples of things to work on:

* Need help building your first api client for something using akka-http?
* You want to get started using scalacheck?
* You want to start automating things with ansible and can't figure out where to start

Who am I?

I’m Earl St Sauver, I’m the CTO of a startup that’s using Scala + ML and satellite imagery to deliver seed and fertilizer to rural Subsaharan african farmers on credit. I was a YC Fellow in 2015 and made the Forbes 30 under 30 last year. I’m definitely not the best programmer lurking these woods, but I don’t think I’ll waste your time.

Rules:

* Please let it be something you’re comfortable working on in public. I won’t sign an NDA and I want to be able to write about the problem we solve.
* Don’t be an asshole.

How to sign up:

Send me an email at earl at apolloagriculture dot com with the subject line starting with “PAIR PROGRAMMING”. I’m in Amsterdam time so please propose a time that’s plausible for both of us and add a sentence or two about what you want to work on.

Why:

It's an experiment, I want to see who shows up and brings interesting problems forward. I have a suspicion that it'll both be an interesting way to track the problems people have, a good way to build community, and maybe eventually a good way to recruit people.

I first made the offer in the scala community and I've had a few really great successful pair programming sessions with people, and so I thought I would make the offer generally.
There are limitations, namely:

"There must not be a conflict of interest between the duties of the individual as a DPO and her other duties, if any."
