Yes, here's the latest guidance I'm referring to:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/sites/beta-political/files/d...

The successor of the working party is a new body called the "European Data Protection Board" (or sometimes supervisor). It will issue binding decisions but only on the matter of cross-border transfer disputes, not any other aspect of the new rules:

> The European Data Protection Board will not only issue guidelines on how to
interpret core concepts of the Regulation but will also be called on to issue binding decisions on disputes regarding cross-border processing.

So the EU will issue "guidance", but so will local regulators, however, it's ultimately the EU itself via the ECJ that decides what the law actually means in the end:

> It is important to recall that, where questions regarding the interpretation and application of the Regulation arise, it will be for courts at national and EU level to provide the final interpretation of the Regulation

That is, if the EDPB or a local regulator states that something is legal, that doesn't stop them later taking you to court over it and winning because ultimately their own advice is not legally binding (except, perhaps, in the cross-border case which is a special exception for some reason).

> The data protection authorities are the natural interlocutors and first point of contact for the general public, businesses and public administrations for questions regarding the Regulation. The data protection authorities' role includes informing controllers and processors of their obligations and raising the general public’s awareness and understanding of the risks, rules, safeguards and rights in relation to data processing.

In other words local regulators are now essentially advocacy organisations that will be the first point of contact, but have no special powers to actually specify what is or is not allowed.
>Copernicans like Thomas Digges, Christoph Rothmann, and Philips Lansbergen, spoke of the giant stars in terms of God’s power, or God’s palace, or the palace of the Angels, or even God’s own warriors. [...] The anti-Copernicans were unpersuaded.

If you aren't the guy to be in some way off put by the way science and religion were rubbing together in this instance or by the sort of historical baggage implied in it, then this is perhaps one of the funniest things -- as in genuinely funny -- about Early Modern science and philosophy. That's what I think, at least. Everyone kept invoking God as if that were an argument, but whenever tables turned and people went through the same motions on the listening side they just went "... yeah, nah, I don't think so."
As someone who contributed to a very small part of this I know how hard the core maintainers worked and how patient they were, at least with my very long lived PR.

I see a lot of the members are appreciative of this. This venture may or may not take off, but I have to ask this: Why do we need another forum that will potentially split the community?

This is 'hacker' news after all. Can't this website release its forum software so that a bunch of interested volunteers (no me) could improve it? Wouldn't that be really meta and cool?

The main gripe I have with HN forum is lack of reply notification. Secondly, the crowd tends to overdo the hacker-nerd-geek thing by discussing unrelated minutae till the cows come home which inflates the comment count. This sort of discourages posters to post their POV fearing it will be buried amidst the 500+ comments. We have a visibility problem.

We just need a few tweaks.

Further, looking at all the passionate discussion about AI and ML that happens here, I am sure some of the regulars would like to implement a scheme that learns my 'collapse the chaff' pattern and spare me the gory boredom inside a thread.

If you are fined 10k-100k you have the typical problem of whether it is worth fighting..

But you are supporting the argument that you could be illegally (according to article 83) fined 4 million euros as a first offence because a regulator wants to be disproportionate and set an example with your small company and then have costs of 10-100k to throw out an obvious case, but it wouldn't be worth it?

A not-for-profit company that builds an AI based identification and reputation (drivers license meets credit score meets ebay ratings) system on the block chain (perhaps using voice + location + image to imprint a person as being who they say they are.

Then use this identification system to create a crypto-currency that has guaranteed basic income built in, and the person would need to re-verify every 6 months to keep their account.

The not-for-profit company would also start it's own businesses that provide products/services to consumers and use only local fiat + the ubi-coin for payment with maybe benefits for using crypto over fiat (to increase adoption).

Execs for all businesses would be capped at 125x average worker salary. All left over money at end of fiscal year would be divided up evenly and 30% would go to workers as a bonus, 70% would be dispersed to ubi coin holders evenly. Businesses the co-op could start could be grocers, mail-order pharmacy, insurance companies, cell phone providers, the goal being --be self-sufficient but not make a profit except enough to pay all workers, and reward the community as a whole and also make services people use everyday cheaper and more affordable.
> Isn't IPv6 widely deployed in china?

No, IPv6 is currently available in only few places, such as universities. Where it is available, torrenting is indeed prevalent, and the speed is good (typically saturating our 100Mbps ethernet link).

Recently there has been a renewed push from the Chinese government to widen the deployment of IPv6, but the effect remains to be seen.
The Zen of Erlang (2016)
A list of addresses usually has some context* - the combination of the address and the context could be personal.

Studies Show People with High “Integrative Complexity” More Likely Successful
A few concerns I have...

1) The logs are not sent encrypted, this exposes them for every smtp server and mitm party between unencrypted hops

2) you have to save a plain text version of your log mailer's smtp password to disk

3) Monitoring by email sucks and future compromise of any recipients' inbox exposes all historical logs

I have written something similar in the past as well and seen email monitoring in real world scenarios. You're not doing it "wrong" per se ,but I think modern protocols allow better solutions.

For instance,you can POST the logs to a server(ec2 instance or DO droplet) over TLS, have it generate a link and email that link. You can then control link expiry and encrypt the logs so that they are decrypted in-browser via Webcrypto. You can also do some sort of push monitoring(in addition to sending the link via email) by the server which lets you avoid the whole "email messages can be stuck on an smtp hop for 24-48 hours" and having to monitor for NDR's before resending the logs.

Critical mass, momentum, catalysts, etc?
Very sloppy. Actually, just bullshit.

Approximately ten minutes before my pain starts, I begin to sneeze uncontrollably and vomit even with a completely empty stomach. This continues throughout the pain, and has lasted in excess of 72 hours before. They are spontaneous and there is no identifiable trigger, even after 25 years of looking.

How do you suggest I think my way out of this one?
I completely agree with your thoughts. However, Rust is getting a lot of traction these days. Sooner or later more people will start to wonder "How do I write a portable app in it?" The Qt solution is a neat one, and might soon become the de facto standard - something similar happened with Python and Tk in the past.

Sent the link to my mom who has been suffering from migraines for 5 years. She tried every drug imaginable with very limited improvements. At one point she spoke about ending her life because it was unbearable. She’d get migraines 3 or more times per week, some lasting for 3 hours and some for 3 days. She would frequently call me saying she’s probably going to die now, that’s how bad it was. She saw many neurologists, including the one at Mayo Clinic mentioned in the article, to no avail. Part of me wished for her to go into peace and quiet because I knew it would end her suffering but the other part didn’t want to lose her. She is still kicking alive and well and finished her nursing degree at 55... I don’t know how she did and still does it but I know I will likely never meet a stronger person. I have had maybe a handful migraines my whole life and when they do come around I can’t imagine living with that. If for some reason this is a genetic condition that comes with age, I can’t say for certain that I would choose to live if I were affected.

Does it use native system dialogs for opening files etc.?
What do you think, are the authors of Stuxnet reading Hacker News? I wonder how tempting it is to comment, and what the repercussions would be.
One problem is that we actually already have a direct energy to momentum generating "EM" drive. It is called a laser; light possesses momentum (in some sense, it is nothing but momentum) and emitting light asymmetrically produces thrust. The "EMDrive" claims to be orders of magnitude more efficient than laser propulsion (as well as not incinerating anything in it's wake), which is why it was both interesting and probably impossible.

There Is Another
To cut through some of the drama that risks being amplified by profiles like this, here are Schmidhuber's [1] and Goodfellow's [2] papers, plus the NIPS reviews [3] that recognized the linkage (not equivalence) between the two.

This is the review process working as it should: helping situate work in a longer dialog so that readers can follow a chain of reasoning. Much of the rest of the drama discussed in this article is about allocating the celebrity that manifests when a technique suddenly becomes useful, through some combination of changes to the environment, theoretical improvements and reduction to practice. It's a very human concern, but it's more business (or politics) than science.

Infineon to Invest $1.9B in New Austrian Chip Factory
People appear to use the word "politics" to mean any motivation that's very weakly connected to the matter at hand, but rather instead to another relationship between the parties. Ill will from a previous confrontation, for example. Or a general desire to prevent department x from meeting more of the Quarterly Corporate Targets than department y does.

In this context it has to mean something that didn't impede IPv6 growth at all for a while, then suddenly blocked IPv6 growth completely. Can't imagine what it would be.

My thought also. - I was wondering why this post made it to the first page of HN. Obviously many fellow HN users find it valuable / do not know that there are solutions to this.
I disagree on the not puttign it on the web.

I know the "logging by default" comes from a different age of the internet, and I'm absolutely for minimizing data collected - but I'm sticking to my opinion that as long as the default of every internet-facing package is logging IP addresses by default, it's not good that private owners have to face problems or a lot of work because of that.

That's interesting about the "giant star" hypothesis. I never knew that, and it makes sense based on what Kepler knew at the time.

Today, we know that the apparent size of stars is an illusion due to diffraction. In principle, even if stars actually were infinitesimal points of light, they would still appear as disks in optical instruments. Smaller apertures (like our eyes) make the disks larger. Only in recent decades with special techniques can we resolve the actual apparent size of a star.
It's fine to collect this information in your logs as it's part of the normal operation. I log them for security reasons and the logs do not persist for more than a week or two, which is less than the month I'd have to comply within. Provided you're not logging IP addresses for non-legitimate reasons and you're not keeping the data for longer than you reasonably need to, you have nothing to worry about.
This is part of the language not just a an interface (though I'm not sure it is an interface, I think it is an object primitive). You wouldn't be able to write this using plain Javascript. Which is why there are no polyfills for client-side code.

Incidentally, PHP does it a similar way to Python with so-called "magic methods" but I can see the benefit to doing it this way.

I have taken intranasal capsaicin to try to stop the pain because a paper on the internet said it might work. It didn't even hurt. I'll repeat that: I snorted the active ingredient in habaneros and pepper spray and didn't even feel it because it was so far overshadowed by the pain in my skull.

What also helps immensely is the fact that C++ supports free functions. Free functions + templates allows for generic logic which is separated from the data they operate on, something Java doesn't allow in any remotely easy way. Yes, there are utility classes with static functions, but that is just horrible.

I don't think it's really that simple. especially the deletion requirements. There are just so many IT systems that really don't support deletion. An absolute worst case I can imagine is GitHub being asked to delete an account which had commits in multiple large projects. Are they going to alter those projects source code?

The companies started out being non-american, then they ended up being bought up by US companies. I don't think that says "there is no EU based tech firms" but rather "There are EU based tech firms!

> who possibly speaks a language I don't

I'm assuming you speak English. Do you really think there's any lawyer in the EU, competent to litigate EU law, who doesn't speak near-fluent English?

(Actually, if the lawyer is from continental Europe, and you only speak English, they do speak at least one language you don't, but I'm guessing that's not what you meant.)

One possibility is adding syntactic sugar to objects. I posted elsewhere in this thread about how we used them in Remote Browser, but here's a simple example of adding support for negative indexing to an array. This basically creates a shorthand for array[-n] === array[array.length - n].

class MyArray extends Array {
constructor(...args) {
super(...args);
return new Proxy(this, {
get: (target, name) => {
if (name && name.match && name.match(/^-\d+$/)) {
return Reflect.get(target, this.length + parseInt(name, 10));
}
return Reflect.get(target, name);
},
set: (target, name, value) => {
if (name && name.match && name.match(/^-\d+$/)) {
return Reflect.set(target, this.length + parseInt(name, 10), value);
}
return Reflect.set(target, name, value);
},
});
}
}

You could accomplish the same thing by creating explicit setters and getters, but proxies allow you to directly intercept and modify the behavior of property access, calling an object like a function, etc. This sort of flexibility allows you to create APIs that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
Is there a linter that can catch this kind of mistakes?
I read this book a while ago.

Whilst I enjoyed the multiple viewpoints it provides (some claim that Stuxnet was actually quite sloppily written, depending on numerous factors), it happened to be one of those books which wrote 100 pages worth of information in 400 pages instead and dragged every little point on. YMMV.
