There are elements of beauty that are universally shared across the human species, such as facial symmetry, and there are components that are socially constructed.

At the risk of saying something slightly controversial, I'd say the universally shared elements tend to top out relatively early, in the sense that once one has a symmetrical face and "reasonable" proportions, it's not like you can just tweak a nose slightly and suddenly you've got someone head and shoulders above the rest on appearance alone. Or, to put it another way, there's a very large range of "the best looking people" by sheer appearance alone and not a lot of objective distinction amongst them. Legendary beauty pretty much has to contain significant elements above and beyond literal appearance. Nowadays those elements are "three hours in the makeup chair and a hefty dollop of expensive CGI", but even within my living memory someone who desired to be famous for their beauty would still expect to need some other skills to cut through the crowd, like musical ability or something.
In my not-so-copious free time, I help maintain the online back-end for a membership organization (about 1500 members). I've found little guidance on GDPR for a volunteer-based membership organization, but have managed to piece a good bit together. I was feeling pretty good about the work done versus compliance, hand-wringing from other officers notwithstanding, e.g. if we delete old member records, someone might rejoin and get a different member number, and what if they wanted to keep the original?

Now, though I'm wondering about the discussion e-mail lists we have and if we need to auto-prune archives. They have folks' real names and such in them, after all, from participating in discussion.

(I also wonder how this affects big email lists, e.g. linux-kernel)
Why would that trade-off make someone an undesireable employee/colleage to you?

Was the problem with my choice of the Internet (which could be used for work) for my scenario instead of tv channel choice?

This is not on purpose. This is a misspelling on my part. fast fingers.
Sorry, my point wasn't to call you out - but it's unequivocally faster to call out "Hey Dingbat, what's 7 + 17" than it is to pull out a device, unless that device is already unlocked and in your hand.

(Also, howdy fellow second-world country person! Pretty nice to meet someone who knows the term :P)
"The verdict seems very consistent with the existing laws "

How can it be consistent with existing laws if the laws never mentioned arbitration at the time?
I see nothing in the article other than the byline that says anything about going “password-free”.

TFA: Password-free is the future... here’s how we re-wrote our signup and authentication framework to do that same thing we’ve always done but be more buzzword compliant and also defend against bot signups with step-up captcha.

Oh yeah, and we keep long term session tokens if you install the app which you can unlock with Touch/FaceID... after you login with your password the first time.
Usually when people say "selling user data", they usually mean "monetizing user data". There are four levels to doing that:

- Level 1: Monetizing aggregates. Aggregating lots and lots of data, running statistics on all of it, and selling the outcome. Example: An online streaming site that sells TV analytics to TV channels.

- Level 2: Selling proxied access. That's the Twitter/Facebook/Google ads model: Allow interested parties (advertisers) access to an audience, but they never are directly told "Mary Jane is a 33 year old woman with 2 children and an income of $80000/year."

- Level 3: Selling personal data. This is what people think is happening in level 2, but is much rarer than it sounds. For example, let's say you have influencers on your site, you'll sell to potential sponsors data about that influencer. Or sites with personal statistics and insights that will sell access to it to their users' competitions (a known practice in sports services).

- Level 4: Selling confidential data. That's where we're talking the really shady/illegal stuff. Gathering emails/credit cards and selling them to spammers and fraudsters, that sort of stuff.
4. Lisp indents itself. This alone speaks volumes.

That said, credit where due, Python code does look great.
Zoho is excellent and fills almost all the gaps of GSuite.
This makes sense if your only use of the car was for your commute but many people use a car for other activities as well and if you have one the incremental cost of driving to work could be less than mass transit, hence the complaints about the high cost. Personally, I hate driving and would much rather use the train.
ORMs make 95% of queries/tasks simpler, but when you encounter the other 5% the lack of "practice" regarding how the database works under the hood will bite you in the ass.

Somehow I became the "database guy" of my workplace (small startup without a dedicated DBA) and everybody thinks I really dislike our ORM because all they hear me say about it is pretty negative. However, that is because nobody comes to me with the 95% of easy questions so every question I get is one of the 5% edge cases where the ORM is really not a good fit :|
That's been my experience. My team (webservices at a large enterprise) has come to rely on ORM as a crutch—the rule is, if we use an ORM, we don't need to run our schemas past a DBA. This probably came out of necessity (most of the DBAs at my org tend to be more sysadmins responsible for installing Oracle, rather than real DBAs), but the results—bloated schemas that are difficult to query efficiently, various tricky performance gotchas, etc.—should not have been surprising.
>How do you distribute your programs/applications? As Lisp source code or as a binary generated by dumping core or some such technique?

In any way you like including creating executable files.
I don't know that a better ORM than ActiveRecord is imaginable. It's seriously good, and getting better every year. I don't think a better DSL for database wrangling exists, and dropping down to SQL or the intermediate representation (arel) couldn't be easier, you can take any ActiveRelation object and call .to_sql on it to see what it's doing.

I've used DataMapper and Sequel, and read through the ROM docs, I don't think any of them really bring something better to the table than good, old, solid Active Record. Linq is expressive and fun, compared to .NET. Nothing compared to Ruby.

As abstraction layers go, I can't ask for a better one.
The people that feel that the GDPR is a terrible thing are going to be really upset if and when software liability will be targeted. This has to be the only industry where it is the norm to charge the customer to fix a defect that we ourselves created.
I was specifically talking about body shape.
"Consent: If the data subject’s consent is given in the context of a written declaration which also concerns other matters, the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. Any part of such a declaration which constitutes an infringement of this Regulation shall not be binding."[1]

So, no.

Unfortunately, it seems like it only would ban the arbitration requirement in the case of sexual harassment or the like.
When the land is sold who earns that money ?

How do the foreign companies grow produce ? Do they employ local people ?

From examples of India I personally feel the real issue here is the inability of the country to clearly enforce property rights and especially for poor and tribal people. (Tribal people might be better off selling off land to richer corporation and working in those fields as an employee)
It doesn't really add many unknowns or mystery. It's quite simple: "God created everything". Now you're left with only one unknown, "who/what/how created God?"

But the answer to that can't be a "who" or you have the problem of a Super-God, which (by convention) is disallowed. So instead, people say "God is eternal both into the past and into the future" and neatly tie up any possible question. God always was and always will be and he created everything -- a clean solution where if you accept the premise of God, then any and all follow-on questions just point back to the premise.
Very much this. Disengaging mentally from driving is a great way to "accidentally" kill somebody.
It's on its face, not a great place for a drug dealer to find new clients.

In recovery you find people that already have access, trying to stop using.
The chances of such a shop running their own shopping infrastructure is very small, most likely they will use some kind of partner for the whole shop setup, up to and including fulfillment and they'll be happy doing what they're good at: making knobs.

And if they do run their own shopping infrastructure they obviously will have to deal with all the ins and outs of that, including operations, keeping the whole thing up-to-date and secured as well as compliance with the law.
I wonder the same thing trying to learn a new language.

I notice the biggest difference between me and a child is that children don't care about messing up. Meanwhile I often have this worthless apprehension of "better not practice Spanish on these Spanish speakers, I might mess up and feel stupid."

I tried to learn Spanish like I learned how to program. Now I'm living proof that you can become good enough to read books in Spanish yet amaze people with your inability understand spoken Spanish.
How about neighborhood flyers warning that a drone was watching your kid get dressed. That ought to do it. (Kidding, more or less.)
It might be because most interventions have dismal success rates.

I will consider writing such a guide... not a bad idea, really...
I was under the impression that GDPR did not differentiate between offline and online data.

If that’s true, then the recommendation about backup in the article doesn’t work (you can’t store PII on offline backup media in the basement and not comply with erasing the data there too on request).

It also means that deletion requests can’t easily be automated. Chasing down records on archive media is likely going to involve physical labor. It’s even the case that for write-only media it’s impossible to delete, you’d have to re-write a backup without the offending data.

All this of course suggests this isn’t the case, that offline data must be out of scope. But why isn’t this clearer?
Lisp can talk to C/C++. And do not forget Clojure. That interops with Java.

Corporations are the basic units of the wealth-creation engine that gives Americans among the highest standards of living in the world, not to mention employs almost all of them. Doing what's good for the corporations is usually also what's good for people.

You're missing the /sarcasm tag. Doing good for corporations has, since Reagan, eviscerated the living standards of the American people.

Plus you're ignorant of how people in this country are actually employed. For example, a number of the wealthiest individuals in this country, and most of the top 5%, actually work for or own partnerships (in the form of LPs, LLPs, or LLCs), none of which are corporate entities. This doesn't include those employed by the government agencies or armed forces at the state or federal or local levels.

And last I checked, every major invention of the past century was funded in whole or in part by the government--there are no major discoveries wholly funded by corporate dollars.
I prefer silence or isolation most of the times. When I can’t get that or I am in the mood for music, I usually listen to random video games music, or tavern music in games ( on YouTube ).
I think there does to tend to be a moral tinge to coverage of it, though.
Regarding pasting passwords, that reminds me: I signed up for one site, I think it was Paypal, which had a password limit of 20 characters. Okay, that's already pretty bad -- it's an arbitrary limit and not as secure as I'd like for a site that has access to my credit cards and bank info.

Anyway, I generated a password using KeePass with I think 60 characters and pasted them in without error or warning. Turned out that only the first 20 characters got pasted in and the rest were silently rejected.

When I tried to log in I kept getting an invalid password error. No indication that the password I was trying to use was too long.

Only when I tried to change my password and type one in manually did I notice that nothing was getting entered after the 20th character.
Which is why it's important to have alternatives, yes. You don't want to have to only trust Facebook, you want to have it as a choice. The OpenID "dream": Users choose between different authentication services based on their needs.

I like Google auth because I pay for Google. I trust them because they're a lot better at security than statistically almost every other service on the web. I would trust Facebook, but I don't want them to know about my web presence as you pointed out. And to keep those services in check, you have to have alternatives.

The Payment request API is a good example of what we should be seeing for authentication. Secure delegation without lockin.
I can only think that their intention is that everything can be updated over the air, this includes all the buttons and controls.

It's certainly a bad thing from a UX perspective. The number of controls in a car / aircraft is a very typical example of why modes are bad. One button for one action is the easiest to learn over the long run, there is a clear mapping in the drivers head of what each of the controls does. They all have different affordances, which is much harder on a touch screen.

However saying that, there's clearly problems with BMW's car UX [0]. Tesla have put a lot of thought into the UX [1] but it seems to be more on a grand scale with specific user cases in mind (your garage magically opening as you approach), rather than the mundane of reducing the number of clicks for the average task.

Why java over C#?
I feel like the UK parliament is creating ane enforcing archaic privacy rules because they realized they can not compete on the technology front with US companies. Their plan is literally to sue US companies in order to gain a small footing/edge. I think what they are going to get is increasingly blocked.

I am referring to array values.

Up to 7.3 you could only stack allocate arrays (alloca() style) inside unsafe code blocks.

Starting with 7.3 you can safely stack allocate array of value types.
Still haven't answered my question about how individuals can pursue legal recourse against a large company without allowing class actions to exist.
Slowly. Very. Very. Slowly.

(Also, no matter what anyone says, at least until you have a written offer, they can and will decline you at any time. Be careful.)
I'd be highly surprised if Dropbox, Box or Microsoft do not have their house in order in time. Unless they are planning to go to court over it.

A dutch proverb says 'high trees catch a lot of wind', if you're a high tree you ensure the wind is not aimed at you unless you explicitly want it that way. At their level there are precious few excuses about lack of resources.
It is futile to try to hide the relational model. Now days, I think it needs to be embraced.
"Law says X. New condition Y shows up. The law does not magically become X' where X' accommodates for Y."

But that's exactly what the majority decision here is saying! "Since class actions didn't exist back when the NLRA was enacted, we need to accommodate the NLRA for class actions" The court literally made up what they felt should happen!
Can you point to where it's being removed? I believe the document you're referring to is this one [https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html].

I maintain a fork of Pd, and I'm still not clear what the Sporth author, that Wikipedia article, nor you are talking about.
Surely - Demographic, ~30 year old male, married. (Getting married didn't drop it as much as I was hoping but did decrease it $150/year.)

Wife and I have not had any traffic infractions in over 3 years.

I haven't had a traffic infraction in at least 3 years (moved to West coast 3 years ago). ~30 year old male, married and are insuring a 2015 Cherokee with $2,500 deductibles.

My advice, if you can set aside $2,500 or have it in savings I would move your deductible up and use insurance for severe accidents. Don't use insurance to replace a cracked windshield.
Yeah, to me SQL Mappers like MyBatis are usually the way to go. I don't want the power of SQL abstracted away from me in most cases.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen code using an ORM framework fetching a set of ids and then iterating over that set to fetch a single record at a time. And then if I had another nickle for each blank stare I got when I explained that only one SQL query was needed to return the flattened result set of data and that the hierarchical object graph could be built in the app much faster than the N SQL queries they were making.
I started my career out writing database applications. Every aspect of those applications were schema-driven, and I would generally would try and solve problems at a schema level (e.g. for rendering/presentation, etc.)

In application development, it's gotten very popular to ignore the data storage component of application design, or at least defer it to the last possible moment. React et al take things even further by requiring their own modeling logic.

As many here would agree, relational dbs never went away. But for some reason folks stopped trying to push the envelope with schema-driven application development. I kept expecting to see iterations of schema-driven design and layout system (using inputs derived from table fields, etc). What we got instead is this ORM business. Is there a schema-first tooling community that I'm unaware of?
Because they are using the same ssh-agent also for accessing host keys (for sshd)

Kadafi gave up his nukes. We saw the same thing happen in Ukraine after they gave up their nukes.

Do you know what is happening in Iran these past few weeks? And I say this as an Israeli, whom Iran has already threatened to destroy. I understand their position. Moreso if you consider which two countries border Iran to the east and to the west, and what has happened in those two countries not long after the turn of the millennium.

Don't get me wrong, I realize that Europe, Israel, and the US are better off with a non-nuclear Iran. But having seen Libya and Ukraine, I completely understand the Iranian position.
Sure. But what happened today is that the SCOTUS legislated from the bench.
Storing data offline is not meant as a way to get the data 'out of scope' but simply to reduce the effect of a breach. It shows that you have taken active measures to reduce the impact of a breach which will definitely get you points for trying.

As for backups, I am going on the assumption that they are properly encrypted, I will update the article to that effect.
That's a fair suggestion, as I don't use Python. My feeling is that it would be the same as Linq, really amazing compared to the other Python alternatives, but ultimately hampered by Python when you're trying to compare it across languages / stacks. My distaste for Python runs somewhat deep, I certainly wouldn't involve myself on any web project that uses it. Maybe for games.
prove it. and when i say prove it - you actually need to show damage and harm done, that's what the law requires. If you can't prove a single occurrence of the "adverserial in nature to the well-being of the individual", then there is no real grounds to sue on. legally speaking.

As an American I hope it never does. Governments stifling competition through regulation gives me an uneasy feeling. I think it may be a cultural difference. Europeans value safety more than innovation and vice versa. Possibly due to the extreme behavior we saw after '08 over here
Just an FYI:

Since the last time I fussed with this, they fixed some of the issues that were problematic with custom domain names. One of those that I had forgotten was a security issue. So I do now have this set up as the actual domain name for the site and I think it all works without any weird security issues or bugs that I know of.
> Users choose between different authentication services based on their needs

Network effects inherently promote centralization. Third-party authentication exhibits network effects. Furthermore, given nobody pays for this service, we not only have a bias towards centralization but also incumbency.

Individually weak but diversified is a more robust model than strong but centralized. That was the fundamental insight of capitalism and of the Internet. Third party authentication promotes the latter.

I know how advertising works, but i don't see 3rd party ads as directly "selling the data of the users". You include an ad that is visible inside the page. At most, you are sharing the page view with an ad company, but you are not communicating any of the data you have collected to the ad server. It's up to them to create a profile/track. "Selling access to your audience" is not the same as "selling your own data to an ad company".
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to transfer neurons across areas of grey matter. Essentially moving function.

It is observed in adults as well as children, but there is definite decay in that ability.

By 'observed', neuroplasticity has been observed at the microscopic level, as well as higher levels, such as brain remapping of function following injury.
