I think it gets "hate" from people who don't have much data but they still have to implement all the requirements, which go beyond than their own data storage. Ad-supported websites are probably the most common case here, even if the sites don't store any data themselves.
The lower end tier gets some more disk space, it is only the higher end gets CPU and Memory upgrade. Now the Dollar / Memory is the same across low and high end Standard Plan. I have always wondered why it wasn't the case in all previous years. Shouldn't the higher spec / memory / CPU, the cheaper it is per CPU / Memory ?

The other news not mentioned in the post is the switch to AMD EPYC CPU. I guess that is what offers much more memory and CPU core per "slices".

It is also interesting that DO decided their Non Standard Plan are CPU focus, while Linode is Memory Capacity focused.

I am not sure if Linode has improved their security, which damaged its image quite a bit. And if they have finally shipped their new Control Panel. UX was one reason why many went with DO.

Otherwise, Linode is still faster in CPU, Memory Speed, Disk I/O, Network Capacity, Network Speed, Latency. I don't know if all these are still true with new EPYC Sever. But sometimes I don't understand why Linode is not getting the similar attention as DO.

And similarly, I don't understand why everyone everything has to be on AWS. And why DO / Linode type of Cloud Services haven't moved up the ladder.

Selling to Saudi Arabians and selling to Saudi Arabia are two entirely different things. In one you're doing conducting business in the Saudi Arabian market, and therefore under the umbrella of their government and in the other you're conducting business in whatever market the person you're selling your alcohol is located at, and under the umbrella of that market's laws.
Not sure id 100% agree and they are at the mercy of individual governments who have in some cases gone against the spirt of some of the eu regs for example Spain's implementation of TUPE.

There needs to be at least some emphasis on fatalities. If autopilot reduces total collisions but increases fatalities, you might draw the wrong conclusion about its safety. It's early but from the incidents we know already, it seems like a decent probability that this is the situation that Tesla is in, lower crash rate but more likely for those crashes to be fatal.

Hear hear!
I first learned about it when I did a google search to figure out why I was getting so many “we’ve changed our privacy policy” emails.
Which they all do "this call may be monitored for training purposes"
1.) That "if outsourcing, check compliance" part isn't trivial, though. Some suppliers still don't provide data processing agreements. For example, as of now it seems like I won't be able to use DocuSign for digitally signing contracts anymore because they seem to not understand what the new laws implies for them and consequently don't provide a DPA. The last time I checked competitors didn't do so either. It's good that companies have to check their processes for privacy compliance but if that disrupts a company's operations with no real remedy other than falling back to paper-based processes that's definitely a problem (admittedly in this case not one that could be solved by legislative bodies)

3.) No, unfortunately it isn't that easy. Some people - lawyers even - argue that merely someone contacting you via email or handing you a business card doesn't necessarily constitute legitimate interest on your part to process their contact data for the purpose of contacting them in the future. I disagree with that opinion but that people are even arguing about this shows that this isn't just business as usual.

5.) You could argue that this has the potential for breaking how the web has worked until now. If you now have to check for legal compliance first each time before merely linking to an external resource (because that might reveal the user's IP address) that simply doesn't scale. Linking to and drawing upon external resources arguably is what makes the web the web.
It's not "just ride the bus", it's:

* and another million improvements or alternatives

No I just spent 6 months working there and studying Spanish. Loved the city in general but it does have very real safety issues. I was never robbed myself (I'm 6'3" and scary looking) but every single other person I know who has lived or visited Quito was robbed at least once, usually multiple times. My local Spanish teacher was robbed 4 times in 3 months.
Which begs the question, could train obsession be a substitute for not obsessing about military hardware?

On the other hand, I don't know enough about Japan, are they really obsessed about trains or do they just happen to be really really good at trains and use them a lot? They might be just pragmatic about them (quite the opposite of obsessed) and a high presence in daily life would naturally be reflected in pop culture.

One way to restrict sales would be to require the sale to be performed via the Apple Store app on the customer's iPhone, with a limit to the quantity purchasable on a per-iPhone-per-year basis.

Not offering any kind of general product support (other than required for warranty support) would also be a significant inhibitor for many people.
> If you never had to consider taking a preventative for your migraines, then no, you do not know how bad they can be

That is just as judgemental. I get a mix of migraines and cluster headache every now and then. The pain is always concentrated at a specific point behind my right eye, and I can feel it coming hours before it turns bad. Usually I can stop it with something as simple as paracetamol if taken at the first sign. When I fail to do that it progresses to the point where I have to lay completely still with my eyes closed, or I'll empty the content of my stomach right then and there.

But I've never considered any significant medication.

Why should this be your headache? It's collected by Google, not you.
Well, so it's undefined, at least until practice of legal application establishes. Undefined means risk, and stopping serving EU is a meaningful mitigation, if your profits don't compensate you for all the hassle. Where's "overreaction“ then?
> Legitimate interests is not defined. So good luck with that.

Are you expecting GDPR (or any law for that matter) to define an exhaustive list of every definition, that holds true now as well as for the future? Have a rethink about that statement...
If he's already handling the data securely and only keeping the data necessary for the service (which I doubt but we'll never know) all he has to do is:

- Appoint a data protection officer (himself)

- Write down the processes of how he stores data (we keep it on this database, hosted at x provider; that provider is called the data processor) and how he deletes data whenever the subject of the data requires it.

That's it.
Remember guys, while you are stressing over how to work with GDPR, Facebook literally listed all their existing data collection items and forced everyone to consent. Total increase in privacy: 0
When people losing their jobs due to government overreach makes you happy, check your motivations.
I have an Arria 10 SoC dev board (not the PCI one, the stand alone version). It's a very complex and fully featured board, it's just not just a "breakout board" for the FPGA. It's also clearly aimed at companies looking to integrate an Arria 10 into their designs, not hobbyists looking for a cheap FPGA board and the pricing reflects that.
"It is reasonable to assume overreach by governing bodies will occur"

No its not as they now have regulations in place to prevent that, before GDPR you could. You can only be sued to the poor house from it if you do something like leave your patients health information on the bus.
I can see why people are desperate to "prove" that the supposed election meddling or the Cambridge Analytica scandal is causing Facebook to fail, but the data just doesn't show that at all.

People make a big deal about privacy, but the actual users of social media usually post stuff because they want everyone to know about it. The people who really care about privacy are not on social media. There's already a general understanding that when using the internet, you're getting tracked by various actors and people (even begrudgingly) accept that.

That same graph shows that Facebook usage has been dropping virtually every month before the election and after, totaling almost 50% loss. There's no exceptional change visible due to any particular event. There are some strong upticks in there as well, but the longterm trend is down.

I believe the most reasonable explanation is simply that people are moving on, just like they moved on from MySpace and other previously popular platforms. Young people are leading the charge here, it's just not as comfortable when your grandmother and high school teacher can see you on Facebook. It's uncool.
I don't think an argument of such kind would stand in your communication with regulators, or (especially) in courts.

That is not true, GDPR is a law, and in the past most EU countries did not have such stringent requirements. You couldn't be sued (Edit: i mean by the DPA).
Only for the sake of correctness/completeness: GDPR does allow member states to adjust certain details to bring them in line with local regulations (see Chapter 9). These are explicit opening clauses though that must not basically weaken or augment GDPR.

From https://gdpr-info.eu/art-12-gdpr/:

"Where requests from a data subject are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, the controller may either: "

The quoted bit is about one person, not multiple so not directly applicable. I assume if someone organizes a coordinated flood of requests from multiple persons you can still argue that it is excessive.

I agree that the amount of requests is very uncertain. Within my company I'm planning to make one request (data regarding me as an employee). This to see if they're prepared.

General law applies as well. There's lots of case law on the size of fines.

Which means in practice that if x other people have been fined around y for an offense similar to yours, your fine has to be in the vicinity of y. Ditto if x people have been fined more for larger offenses or less for smaller. This kind of assessment is routine. General. It's not something that needs to be written into each and every law.

My (EU) clients fall into two camps. Those who haven't had to do a single thing to be GDPR compliant because they were already following the various data protection and privacy laws, and the ones panicking.

The latter group say things like "this is ridiculous, they're making us change so much" but never have an answer to the fact that they're already violating PECR or the Data Protection Act.

Sure, but is that line of reasoning similar to the situation with the EMDrive? I thought the interesting part was that there was an actual as-yet unexplained result / measurement. So, going back to the bronze alloys, it's more like "crazy person X has found a bronze alloy that almost seems like antigravity, and it seems to break all fundamental laws of physics". Should we disregard, or humour it look into it? It was always very likely to be some kind of error, but it's a fundamentally less silly exercise.

I am not sure where you are, but this is usually standard. You can’t film someone at a place where there’s some expected form of privacy and use that footage publicly.

Talking about GDPR, the fact they had to ask is proof it works. It’s an opt in. Your friend now has the option to say yes if they want to share it, but the default is no.

There are also provisions for withdrawing consent after giving it. The agreement can’t go above that law.
A personalized learning program.

I really think education is a very inefficient process currently. Not that it doesn't allow growth of other traits which it doesn't value but also the virtues which it does see fit remain undeveloped.

For starters, I will begin with a program like 'Computer science/ concepts for developers' which will go far further than Networking, OS, DB...

The most important part of it would be that it will specifically crafted for the individual- it will start with the level of expertise the learner is at and incrementally go up.

Secondly, it will be focusing on virtues which imo makes learning efficient and enjoyable- like pressure free learning but getting sense of accomplishment by doing stuff. The best reason one would be learning for would be for themselves.

We were talking above about deleting them, not publishing them.

But interview notes tend to contain personal evaluations of people, often critical. If interviewers believe they are effectively having to criticise people to their face (which is what this change would do), then they won't be willing to be as honest. No interviewer wants an angry job candidate tracking them down via LinkedIn or whatever and then getting mad because you wrote that they sucked in their notes.

This is an interpretation of the GDPR that I don't think makes any sense or aligns with the original intentions at all, but moreover, if it was interpreted and enforced that way it simply means firms would switch to discussing candidates in person and not write down evaluation notes at all.
This law has nothing to do with signing away the rights of your image to be used for publicity, though. GDPR does not come into play at all in the scenario with your friend’s daughter; the school is likely abusing laws in their request and should be investigated, but those laws aren’t related to GDPR and the existence of GDPR does not somehow cause the daughter’s position to be weaker here.

Like somebody else commented here, did it open up my brain's receptors to recognise that frequency of sound after being exposed to it only?
I am afraid it is not so simple. There is a thing with data collector, and data controller in GDPR I don't full understand yet. It's not like you're not responsible for data collected by services that you hook up to your application.
Memory may be cheap, but it is a limiting factor for a lot of workloads. If your memory consumption goes up by 2x, you need to provision 2x the nodes.

In fact, I've heard that one of the reasons IBM is investing in Swift is because it uses so much less memory compared to jitted Java. Apparently, most of their cloud workloads sit idle most of the time, meaning the number of client VMs/jobs/whatever they can put on a machine is almost entirely determined by memory use.

Also, memory usage to a large extent is performance and is power consumption. A random memory access is still on the order of 50-60ns, in that time you can do several hundred ALU operations. (This is assuming the memory is actually used and not just sitting around). See for example http://www.ists.dartmouth.edu/library/202.pdf

"...computation is essentially free, because it happens “in the cracks” between data fetch and data store; on a clocked processor, there is little difference in energy consumption between performing an arithmetic operation and peforming a no-op." -- Andrew Black in Object-oriented programming: some history, and challenges for the next fifty years

My point is that you won't be sued for the GDPR. What might happen is that a complaint is raised with the regulatory body. This is not the same thing as being sued.
I chuckled at that sentence as well. It's not that the tech sector is rational, it's that a lot of the people working in it are desperate to maintain a self-image of being a rational, scientific-minded person. Then, if some evidence collides with that self-image, we just blame it on management. Problem solved!

What's your solution to finding medium term (5-10 years) motivation?

The more I read on cognitive science (Strange Loop was the first and then you understand what was behind GEB) the more I concur with your view. It is depressing though.

For short term daily tasks, one can depend on routines.

For longer planning the implications are horrifying if there is no qualia in the sense that we think of it.

It's just like with nihilism, it might be "true" but it is not very productive.

At best it leads to Vito Corleone type of ethics, ie tribalism, I'll take care of my family/village, but woe to the outside world.

At worst it leads to Michael Corleone actions, ie screw everyone besides yourself.

I understand your skepticism. But you should start with the orthotropics youtube channel. Obviously, not an unbiased source of information. But it's a start from which you can at least critically evaluate what they say.

Another thing to bear in mind is that scientific theories are obviously developed faster than they can be proven. And as long as what Orthotropics is not invasive you can try what they preach yourself and draw your own conclusions rather than wait for academic silos to try prove that the method works.

I am trying it on myself. The results are not magical, but I can feel them, I can breathe better. And at the end of the day that's what matters most

GDPR states, that even if you give consent now you can withdraw this consent anytime. So even if OP consents now and in one year decides he/she doesn't want the daughter's videos being used anymore he/she can do this and the school needs to honor that (or else: big fines).

So GDPR helps you in maintaining control over your data as you see fit.
