Those laws were passed following the civil war because of concerns about groups of black soldiers who did in fact have guns.

>The end of the Civil War left an army of occupation in the South. The natural tensions of military occupation were exacerbated by black troops. Only a fraction of Union troops occupied the South after the war, and the balance mustered out according to length of service. Because blacks were not admitted into ranks until the middle of the war, they were retained at a higher rate, making the occupying force “blacker” than the one that won the war. The roughly 200,000 black Americans who served in the Union Army comprised an estimated 10 percent of the North’s total fighting force. But by the last quarter of 1865, blacks made up about one-third of the occupation army. Many Southerners took this as a deliberate Union insult.

Exactly that. Working as a data analyst for my agency's clients I had more work in making sure my clients do not panic after having other consultants claiming, that the world will end and what not.

It is possible to comply with GDPR in most cases with not too much of an effort (I know some processual stuff is just boring and ugly, but doable).

It is possible to not have a cookie wall of horror, if you "just" want to do tracking (analytics) or first party onsite marketing.

It will get more complicated with personalized recommendations, profiling and stuff. I have to admit this - especially with third party vendors and such - will be a little bit more fun/challenging.
I'm not sure what you mean by "actually the minimum". They will find you the maximum of those two numbers, at most, if you flagrantly disregard the law.

According to the bug here:

It was actually filed about EBS block disks using NVME (on these new instances, there is a hardware card that presents network EBS volumes as a PCI-E NVME device). In certain failure cases since this is a network block store, they can fail for some period of time exceeding this timeout.

The idea of this change is to ensure once they come back the machine is left in a usable state.

Of course, I would not expect to see this on Local NVME disks which is what they announced - that you can now get such instances with local disk as well as EBS.
As far as I know, you pay for an audit yourself, and then you send them the results.

SimilarWeb buys data from ISP DNS resolvers. During the same time, Cloudflare DNS resolver was released to the public and marketed heavily.

Even my nontechy gf started using Cloudflare Resolver. She saw that on twitter was curious about the benefits and was not disappointed.

So, yeah usage did decline a bit but not that much.

One does not simply...

LEO has loads of stuff to interact with, and building a test article that won't drift due to, eg, materials outgassing is a specialist challenge.

The Planetary Society have will be testing their lightsail later this year and it's been years, one launch failure, one engineering demonstrator, and now an actual test bird with its companion (so it has something to measure distances against). And that's for something which has physics on its side and is adored by Sagan-era enginerds.

First demonstrate the thing in a lab. Otherwise nobody will take a launch request seriously, except maybe a non-expert bitcoin billionaire.
Facebook has lost it when it stopped being a social network where people follow their friends' lives.
Once it became a 'I share random links or "news" stories off the internet' feed it lost all its value. There is nothing social about a Fox News or MSNBC story link. At all.
I'm unhappy with this because now I have to do a lot of extra work verifying that I'm not breaking some law, then implement changes in both code and license agreements, then get all the users to agree.

I've had zero profit from user data so far - to the contrary. If everyone could be billed just with some cryptocurrency, totally anonymous, that would be great.

> It is cleary directed at large data-tracking corps,

Then the law should say that. For instance when India implemented uniform goods and services tax processes, it explicitly excluded businesses below a certain revenue threshold and gave them a simple % of gross alternative to all the processes. GDPR doesn't make any such distinction, so such decisions to drop EU support are to be expected.
Ah yes, I remember The Great DeFriending of 2016.
Yes, with the slider at near extreme right it sounds yanny (it spooked me a bit) but I guess there's a lot of mathemagic happening. In the twitter post that was posted yesterday [1] however, which I believe was untouched, it was just impossible for me to hear yanny.

I'm not even sure they're going to let you program the FPGA drectly (with HDL)?

I expect the main workflow will be using OpenCL to offload arbitrary work to the coprocessor along with a few Intel-provided modules capable of common tasks.

The great thing about having the FPGA on-die via UPI is that the cache-coherency, decreased latency and massive bandwidth will allow much more granular offloading of work. This is as compared with PCIe coprocessor where it only makes sense to offload larger chunks of work and minimise the communication and data passing between the two.

The greater the granularity of work that we can offload, the more viable the OpenCL/high-level synthesis/heterogeneous computing type stuff will be, as it will integrate more seamlessly into existing software development methods. This is the holy grail at the moment for FGPA vendors: to get to the point where software developers can program them on their own.

As to your point though I guess we'll find out soon what the dev tools for this will actually look like.
AWS in China does not provide root access
Unfortunately I can't agree. Sure, Sweden is still one of the better countries, but things have changed in recent years. In 2006 the right wing parties created a coalition, forcing the left wing parties to do the same. So now we have essentially two parties and a right wing fringe group, which is quite similar to the US.

Many issues therefor remains unresolved. The housing market would be exhibit A. Fortunately Sweden can "coast" on past achievements for a while, but sooner or later the dysfunction will have lasting consequences.
I'm skeptical this is genuinely because of GDPR.

Consent could be withdrawn before or after GDPR. My guess is that the school have realised they're at risk of having to reprint all their promotional materials if consent is withdrawn.

So they need a contract, a model release. They needed that before GDPR. If you don't like the terms, don't sign it.
And that is a good thing. This >23 different trackers and adservers just to read crappy news content BS is so nice to be shaken.

I really love the GDPR for just making the life for such business models way harder.

Implementing data, analytics, tracking and stuff in a way that is compliant with GDPR (or its local equivalents) is doable and from an architectural point of view even interesting imho.

I love building GDPR conforming data architectures with my clients right now.

Unless Doe can provide any actual reason for believing they have his data, and as long as the data handling process of the company is sound, the regulator will just close the issue. At least that's my experience.

> wow that's great, amazing work guys!

I guess it's nice to give great feedback when the work was great. I don't see why people sometimes want to obsessively find a problem that doesn't really change things.

But generally I totally agree with you. When the manager only makes positive comments and doesn't engage, the person is not being helpful at all.
The only thing which would make that outrageous would be an element of force (which would make it not consent anyway, but I digress). Instead, you're giving an example that explicitly allows for a denial. That's exactly as it always should have been, so I really don't understand what the point is that you're trying to make here.

I love my dad unconditionally. To this day. One thing he did still is so over the top imho.

He had everything. I mean everything prepared. There was a folder at his work desk at home that had in it:
* His Obituary already prepared - I just needed to fill in the date of his passing away.
* All noted what I needed to tell the funeral parlor
* All noted for the minister (down to every song he wished)
* A personal note, that he loves me and will kiss me, when we meet again on the other side (right now even thinking about that makes my eyes water)
* All necessary for the bank to transfer ownership/control of his funds
* Some other stuff already organized

I just needed to contact the relevant people and already had a playbook of what to do. I was able to get all done and had time to grief.
A use case I had for proxies was a circular array type:

But merely being a repeat offender isn't enough to trigger the maximum fine.

You'd have to be a consistant repeat offender, with no effort made at remediation, with no cooperation with the regulator, and probably handling sensitive or financial data.

Here's a list of recent actions taken. I think the current maximum fine is £500,000. Have a look through a few of these hopefully it's somewhat reassuring.

"why did Christians invent science rather than pagans, Muslims, or Buddhists? "

Given that the philosophical basis of science had deep roots in both pagan and muslim thought I'm not sure if that's a completely sensible assessment.

I think one needs to take a larger view of the society as a whole, to try to find answers to why science rose, when it did.
Using OpenCL to program an FPGA is a significantly more difficult task than programming in HDL. Atleast for what would be relevant to a Xeon co-processor. The OpenCL flow is just terrible at getting to the performance levels you need to realistically offload anything from a Xeon. Intel are certainly working on it, but that's not a realistic proposition for the next 5 years, and if the Xeon+FPGA isn't already successful in that time frame, it'll be canned long before OpenCL is a solution.

From what I've seen the only applications for this will be pre-canned FPGA images that were written in-house by Intel for things like encryption or FEC.
I've been arguing about this for the last three days. Mostly around the reason that "complexity" is not strictly the same thing as "sophistication" when it comes to software. Noobs will conflate the two, but experienced programmers will agree that -- just to illustrate my point -- some code which solves a complex problem in a very clever way while also being very clean and easy to maintain will be considered strictly more sophisticated than some other code solving a similar problem which simply has a higher degree of complexity than the former. There is a subtle difference when it comes to software, and this subtlety needs to be considered in this question. Now, I think Stuxnet is a fantastic suggestion to this question, for a number of reasons:

1) The legal, ethical, technical challenges of creating the software.

2) The ability of the software to remain hidden in (sophisticated) environments rich with (sophisticated) organizations looking for exactly this kind of thing.

3) The stealth of the entire research, design, development, and deployment phases of the project.

4) The highly specialized nature of the target.

5) The scale of the entities involved.

6) All of this sophistication and we can't even see the source code (decompilation doesn't count).

This is frankly some impressively sophisticated software. Also, incidentally, the Quora poster's company looks like a fun place to work (with good programmers on the team). Some of his other answers are thoughtful and interesting to read, too, if you get the chance.
Yes, 6 weeks. Not sure why I typed 7.
I really don't know why people think that the authorities will (or even could) automatically punish each minor infraction with 4 % of global revenue or 20 million €. GPDR article 87 specifies in great detail when fines should be imposed and how their value should be calculated, and the Article 29 WP also has a guideline on that:

https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/just/document.cfm?doc_id=47889

It is therefore simply not possible for a data protection authority to impose arbitrary or ridiculously high fines as they would never hold up in court.
> The GDPR will require me to hire people and my entity is too small to be able to afford this

Q: Does my business need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?

A: DPOs must be appointed in the case of: (a) public authorities, (b) organizations that engage in large scale systematic monitoring, or (c) organizations that engage in large scale processing of sensitive personal data (Art. 37). If your organization doesn’t fall into one of these categories, then you do not need to appoint a DPO.

Ip are personal data https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...

Without conditions. Even hashing them doesn’t make them ‘irreversibly anonimized’ because the ip space is too small for hashing to be irreversible. A rainbow table can be built with all ips and use to deanonimize the ip.

The EU HASN'T delegated everything to local regulators. Have you not come across the Article 29 Working Party, which is dedicated to standardising GDPR interpretations across the EU?

Or perhaps these people/businesses have much more data about you and don't want to share how they monetize their "free" services by selling/renting/aggregating/analyzing your data?

Think of all the free apps: I was in a conference with startup founders bragging about the business they make selling the location data of app users by incorporating some third party libraries in their apps without the users knowing. Of course, everything is anonymized, is it?

Add-supported websites on the other hand have only to document what is going on and get the consent of the user. That's a simple notification bar with a button, like the cookie notice, plus a page detailing the privacy policy. The GDPR even mentions legitime reasons for collecting, storing and transmitting personal identifiable data like technical or business needs. And in addition, almost all ad networks are going to anonymize IP addresses by stripping some bits and have opt-out features for being profiled.
> Can my small company be trivially bankrupted by any sociopathic gamer skid with an EU address and a grudge when DDOS attacks fail?

Your dude with a grudge can only lodge a complaint with the relevant regulatory entity, they're the ones who will verify whether you complied or not with his GDRP requests and if they deem that you are in violation fine you after negotiation fails.

This isn't the US: you can't be sued by random people for anything.
Then automate it. If you can't automate it within one month plus two months extension, you have bigger problems than GDPR requests.
