Card games e.g. Poker isn't a perfect information game, so history does matter, so it's not markovian.
That doesn’t seem like the best counterexample, given that the US held a public hearing on the same topic.
One distinctive aspect of the EU is that the constituent states are genuinely sovereign nations, and retain the convention of sovereign privacy. We see this principle (and its abuse) when nations work on trade deals and treaties together, and more mundanely when a Prime Minister's cabinet has its meetings.

To give a specifically British example, the Privy Council holds its meetings behind closed doors, and its (often unelected) members have to take a literal oath of secrecy, yet somehow this aspect of the British constitution does not receive the same criticism as the EU does.
Chrome doesn't support extensions in headless mode though, unlike Firefox that does.

A Seleniun installation with the Google Chrome Driver is still required for anyone who would want that.

This story is similar to mine. I really don't want to have lots of subscriptions, but I use 1Password sooo much, it is a clear winner for my money.
I said explicitly that I'm not trying to debate what's morally right, or good for business (since I agree that good privacy practices are both of those). I'm asking what is the law.

> If you have customers in the EU, gdpr matters. If you don't, it doesn't.

Either this is false, or you've adopted an unusual definition of the word "customer". The email recipients don't give me money, but even I agree that e.g. if I promote my site with advertisements only on EU sites, and know or should know that most of my recipients are EU residents in the EU, then it's relatively clear that I'm subject to the GDPR.

Lawyers care about precision of language, because people's lives are at stake. It's not useful to discuss legal matters without that precision.

I guess you're certain enough that all my previous examples are subject to the GDPR that you don't think it's worth discussing why, since you didn't answer any of my questions. How about:

I. I run the website that (1) calls out only products with authorized distributors only in the USA, (2) has recipes for all kinds of food, (3) describes restaurants only in the USA, (4) is in English only, and (5) is advertised on American newspaper websites; but I take no specific measures to exclude EU visitors? I think you think I'm subject to the GDPR.

II. Same as II., but I block EU IP addresses?

III. Same as II., but I ask the remaining people if they're subject to the GDPR, and block them if they say yes?

IV. Same as III., but I require a credit card with an American billing address?

V. Same as IV., but I require evidence of legal American residence (e.g., a scan of a US passport of visa)?

Are you able to answer these questions? Or does it just not bother you that you can't, because compliance with the GDPR serves a purpose you agree with?

What do you understand by the phrase "rule of law"? Do you think it's important? Hungary is an EU country. Its prime minister has described George Soros, the founder of the Open Society Foundation, as an "enemy of the state". If you ran an organization publicly associated with the OSF in Hungary, then how would a notice of a GDPR investigation from your government make you feel? Wouldn't you feel better if the rules gave the regulator less room to maneuver?
Slackbots are way too specific to any particular group. You may have better luck with Discord bots since you can make more creative bots there (eg music and multimedia as opposed to "boring" office stuff).
So I have to run English ads and just hope whoever reads them speaks the language?

It's rather odd how this blog post segues into an extended and uninteresting (sorry) comparison between Starbucks and L'Occitane. There's probably some insight into those aspects of urbanity that are strongly characteristic of Tokyo in there. But they're heavily masked.

There is no such single concept as a vegan diet. Drinking coca cola is vegan. "Vegans" can have a diet worse than those who simply consume animal products. I did not say the answer is a vegan diet, commenters here kind of assumed it.
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

I am a firm supporter of free speech. I am also a firm believer in consequences when that speech leads to violence and persecution.
Better security and better user experience to start with.

Unlike most of competing products, 1Password encrypts pretty much all information, including vault names, item titles, URLs, tags. It is easier to list what's not encrypted. It is also probably the only product using SRP.

Now check out what information is sent in plaintext or base64-encoded in other products.

Also, should be said. Just because you can use the framework and it produces what you expect the first time: Doesn't mean that you're using the technique correctly.

(AI has some very advanced techniques in it and require attention to detail and background knowledge to use them correctly)
I believe that if you make crystal clear to the sender that his messages are publicly available to all parties until everyone deletes the message and also include this to your Privacy Rules, you'll be fine. Doesn't seem like a big deal.
To my understanding no. But you must enable ip anonmyization in GA settings and provide the opt out link in privacy policy. Google should have a page on the link
Ask HN: My friend accused me of bad design and ripping off Reddit
Six months ago I started working on a side project to build a todo app. Over time I ended up going in a completely different direction and created zipcode based social platform. I have couple of things I wanted to complain to the world about in my area, 1 was how terrible the intersection of 14 Mile and Crooks is (ever run a red light making a left turn?), 2 how did Hall road and Mound road become so bad in their own ways. (If you're form Detroit area you'd know what I'm on about). Yea I got a few things I want to talk about in my area and I want others to have ability to join a local discussion.

I've been regularly sharing my progress with some close friends, and today I got the harshest criticism to date: My UI sucks, I ripped off reddit. But I really believe in reddit design of a post and tree style comments, it's a system that works and I'm just using it in my project. So overall feedback breakdown is 10% positive 70% neutral 20% negative. Most of the feedback is related to UI, so I'll leave some screenshots below.

I'm not good with UI design and I can't even justify buying fontawsome pro icon pack at this time. Yes, my choices of icons are dull at best and I understand that.

I was primarily focusing on functionality over looks, and making sure the UI is not tied up with business logic so it can be swapped later for better UI.

Is my current design so bad I should pull the plug on releasing until I come up with better UI? I was ready to release in about a week, not sure what to do now.

How are companies using your data?
Most people, especially non EU folk, seem to be misinformed.

You don't have to purge your system of all PII upon request. An IP address is only considered PII if it can be used with other data to identify a person. If you delete the user's account, you can keep your server logs with IP addresses as long as you have a compelling business reason.

That reason is "security and monitoring".

Really most of the GDPR is just best practices codified. You are only really in trouble if you are using customer data for purposes that you A) haven't received their consent for and B) aren't what the customer would expect given what they are using your service for.
This title delivers.

There's an ant. It's in space. It shoots lasers.
An alternative to both Lisp-like macros and code generation is to trigger macros via annotations in the syntax, and for the macro to manipulate the AST directly using the "go/ast" package. Apache Groovy, which has the same curly-braces style syntax as Golang, does it like this.

Exercise causes the body to produce more anti-oxidants to counteract the greater oxidative stress that comes from faster metabolism, thus preventing aging over time.
You can't reasonable identify someone via an IP address alone without issuing a warrant to the ISP. GDPR is fine with storing such information.

If you are able to map the IP to a user then it becomes personally identifiable but the IP itself is not.

Ask HN: Is this a privacy/security issue with Gmail?
I've been using gmail for a long time and have just noticed something that is a bit concerning from a privacy/security standpoint.

When you compose an email to a valid gmail account, it will provide you with additional details of the account, if the user provides it, even if you have never corresponded previously via email. This works for emails with @gmail and also @somebusiness.

For example, go to gmail and compose an email to foobar@gmail.com, then hover over the address in the To: field.

You now know this is a valid email, who it belongs to, and a fairly decent amount if information about that person.

I suppose the theory is that open source is better (a) because you can audit it if you want to, and (b) it's more likely that someone out there has audited it.

In practice, (a) falls apart if the user doesn't have the knowledge, experience, or time necessary to perform an audit, which is quite likely for security software. And I feel like (b) isn't great either, as there are plenty of examples of major flaws in open source projects that went undetected for long periods - heartbleed is just one example.
Your defense of python in these comments is great! I feel like you're presenting my own personal philosophy...just more coherently than I usually manage.

I agree the python first micro-optimizations second approach is usually so much better than anything else unless you absolutely know you're going to need something else for [insert reason]. Even then I think it can be great for an initial throw-away implementation (at least the high-level ideas) simply because it's so easy to focus on the idea over the details.

Sorry, should have given a more concrete example, more what I'm interested in.

I was thinking Hearts or Spades, which aren't perfect information, but since the whole deck is dealt out, you can (with a lot of memory :-) know what cards are left.
That is an interesting experiment you highlighted. I was not aware of it. I will point out though that the group that did not want to seem out of step were seemed to be the lest numerous. So while agreeableness seems to have a certain correlation to independent thought I do no think that for the majority of people that is the main blocking point.

I think I know myself pretty well, better than most, and this allows me to make a pretty good guess about the way I would react. I think that if I were to answer wrongly to the Ash experiments, I would do so because of what is described in the Wikipedia entry as "distortion of judgment". This stems mostly from my view of the world and my belief that human observation, without aiding tools and methods of quantification, can be very unreliable. That applies for me as well, leading to poor confidence in my direct observation.

Thankfully, creating new ideas or solutions has several steps, observation being just one of them, another being the processing of the stimuli into the final idea. This, I consider, is where I am far better than the observation stage. Given a set of observations I arrive at a pretty complex solution and/or idea, and this is where most of my deviation from the norm usually stems. But I am aware of the possibility of mistaken input data of vicing this process, and forming the wrong conclusion because of it.

Anyways, sorry if I came of a bit arrogant, this was more of an introspection exercise and me musing and a little bit over-generalizing about the way people think.

It literally doesn't. What it literally says is:

"...subject to administrative fines up to 20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher."

It also says "...the fines imposed shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive."
Fix Your CC with HackWest
Hi everyone! You think you got bad credit? Mine was terrible. I was at the verge of loosing my family, when I decided to go online just to wittle down depression. I read about HACKWEST on Disquss, I quickly copied there contacts, immediately I emailed and texted them via HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM and +1 424 307 2638 respectively they responded immediately, after a cool conversation he explained the whole process on how they will go about in getting my credit fixed and my score increased. After about 8days he erased every negative report on my credit and increased my score from 390 to 770. I was skeptical when they told me they have successfully fixed my credits until I confirmed by using the card to renew my rent which was my pressing challenge at that time. Now my life is far much better than I ever thought it would be. I can now get approved for loans, mortgage, and surgery. I’ll implore you all to contact them on the email and phone number above to help fix your credit and other hacking related services. They are just the best company for the job
The Rebirth of Email Marketing
I understand where you are coming from and we thought about advertising this feature.

However, it would not be the best option for most of the customers. They would have to understand how to take care of local vaults, including syncing, backups, etc. It is really an advanced feature for very technical audience.
I don't know whether the concept applies in Japan, but right now everyone is walking like it's Monday morning. ;-)

Thanks! I rather enjoyed that, for a couple of minutes. I'll return to have another look when things are hopping.

Haven't read the OP, yet. So, I don't know how much of a voyeur this makes me. I do enjoy having unfiltered looks are places around the world; gets me out of my own little corner of perspective and thought, a bit.

P.S. In the process of reading the OP, now.

One of the best integrations of "flow of traffic" -- almost as a Leitmotif -- into film, that I recall, is in Ang Lee's earlier film (before "Crouching Tiger" and all that), "Eat Drink Man Woman". Set in then contemporary, early 90's Taipai. The flow of life -- which was also a central theme of the movie.

(And the soundtrack complemented and clarified those scenes, perfectly.)
Nice project, is this project in anyway related to the IOS Platform ?
> Then there were a ton of bugs (don't know the details) in Xamarin that caused them to switch to Java on Android.

Interesting. Those are the type of day-to-day details that I'm curious about when I see cross platform solutions like Xamarin, Kotlin Native, or React Native.
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for
Ignore the GDPR and continue to operate. You have nothing to lose. Only worry about compliance if a regulator contacts you, which is not likely to happen.

You’re not complying with numerous other regulations like business registration, tax licenses, etc. The reality is all small businesses have to ignore compliance to get off the ground.

Don’t listen to others trying to scare you over nothing. It’s a matter of perspective.
Wow I've never seen it so dead before...and in broad daylight!

I like this solution (probably more than the Facebook Tax idea above) and hope that the GDPR will go some way towards this. However, there is another timebomb against Facebook hidden in the GDPR which I'm looking forward to seeing donate this week.

The GDPR contains a section on Data Portability:

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-20-gdpr/

mandating that "the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible." This means that someone with a Facebook account should be able to request that Facebook automatically send their posts to the accounts of their friends on other competing social networks.

Obviously the question of what is "technically feasible" will be argued, but I think that a large, potentially monopolistic company like Facebook would have a hard time arguing that it couldn't implement something like ActivityPub:

https://activitypub.rocks/

especially if its smaller (and European) competitors are able to implement it and interoperate with each other. Once you no longer have to be on Facebook to receive updates from your Facebook-using friends, I imagine that their empire will crumble relatively quickly.
According to Wikipedia you are correct. But I think you are fighting a losing battle in the crypto space where people take Fiat to mean government backed currencies.

I think of it this way especially as Fiat means 'by decree' or something like that.
I would think this is a rather fringe use-case, depending on what things you define as criminal. I mean, in the original technolibertarian/cryptoanarchist formulation, cryptocoin was meant to free folks from being persecuted for such "non-crimes" as tax evasion, securities fraud, prostitution, narcotics trafficking, arms trafficking, etc. If you include this stuff, I think it's a sizable fraction, but still not generating as much demand as the speculators are.

If you really just mean "remittance payments to OFAC-listed countries", then I can't imagine that's a big use case at all, especially since the first world, the source of most of these remittances, has made it pretty difficult to turn cash or legally-earned in-my-bank-because-i-cashed-my-paycheck money into crypto without a paper trail.

Also, the OFAC countries are just not the most popular places to send remittances from the west, the reason being that its just really hard to do so. This in turn reduces incentive for otherwise remittance-sending immigrants from those countries to go to the West, which in turn lowers demand for the service. If the US were to suddenly put Mexico on the OFAC list (not unthinkable given the current administration), there would be riots in the streets in both countries, because the scale of these payments mean that large fractions of both economies are built on the flow of this money (in Mexico), and the labor it motivates (in the US).

How much of a difference you think rust would of made? Have you made something similar?
Only if you don't have a complexity penalty in your fit. This is a model selection problem and you should have a prior on the structure of the model that leads to something like the BIC. Curve fitting is hard.
The elimination of epicycles was due to Tyco Brahe collecting more data and a lower complexity model being proposed to explain the data.
I like the wording of your comment, but I think you mean emblematic instead of enigmatic.
Theoretically, a sailing sensor drone could even be constructed as a submarine, sailing on the surface in regular conditions but able to dive into the currents if conditions get too harsh. It would not be able to maneuver or communicate while submerged, but it could resurface on a timer, or use sensor data to identify to make an educated guess. (This could also qualify as a piracy countermeasure, should the drones get targeted for parts)
Writing your own transaction messages and injecting them for execution to whatever banks hold your money is a standard, widely used product of classical banking, not some novelty. Ages old cash management services and accounting system integrations run off of that ability. It's not P2P, but it remains to be seen if P2P by itself is a worthwhile benefit.
I prefer to judge him by what he actually does and says (and he's an unusually eloquent speaker and persistent campaigner rather than some gaffe-prone blunderer) and not than some Platonic ideal of what he actually might represent.

We're talking about someone that agitates against any form of air strikes by the West for months, then when Russia announces plans to launch air strikes against exactly the same target, gushes that it's going to be a Stalingrad-like triumph over fascism all over again. We're talking about somebody who highlighted Saddam Hussein's human rights abuses right up to the point where the West decided he was actually more of a threat to regional stability than Iran and forcibly ejected him from the neighbouring country he invaded, at which point George started meeting people who were naming their sons Saddam and felt obliged to fly to Iraq after the war to salute Saddam's indefatigability and wish him future victories in person and deliver deputy the writings of Sun Tzu to advise them on "patriotic resistance" against any future threats. And we're talking about somebody who goes off the fairly coherent and very widely-supported anti-war campaign script in 2001 to call upon Arab armies to join the Iraqi "martyrs" in rising up against the West in Iraq. If all this is in the name of "long lasting international peace and security for everyone" as opposed to because he really, really wants to see non-Western forces prevail on the battlefield, it's difficult to see exactly how....
Based on the screenshot, it seems like autopay was set up on the lower-interest loans but not on the highest-interest loan. It's hard to say for sure but it does seem possible that she missed the impact of this.
