To further that point, this is a quote [0] from the UK's ICO on that:

> It’s an evolutionary process for organisations – 25 May is the date the legislation takes effect but no business stands still. You will be expected to continue to identify and address emerging privacy and security risks in the weeks, months and years beyond May 2018.

> That said, there will be no ‘grace’ period – there has been two years to prepare and we will be regulating from this date.

> But we pride ourselves on being a fair and proportionate regulator and this will continue under the GDPR, as I set out in my first myth busting blog. Those who self-report, who engage with us to resolve issues and who can demonstrate effective accountability arrangements can expect this to be taken into account when we consider any regulatory action.

Fair warning, this is a bit of a comment trap, insofar as the post is less about lead per se, and more about a class of decision-making problems involving the allocation of scarce resources and massive uncertainty.

But incidentally, public health and governing bodies should definitely work to reduce lead in communities, regardless of the duty of psychiatrists.

And maybe some researcher should improve chelation? But there are other things to work on, and that might be simply intractable, so maybe not.
There has been a takeover attempt against Volkswagen by Porsche which failed precisely for that reason. Stock price rose, financing fell apart. And the Porsche owners already had a large chunk of the Volkswagen shares, at least in the extended family.

As the owner/operator of the premises Tesla is ultimately responsible for the safety of the people that work there, unsafe practices by any individual on premises could cause risk/injury to all others. Subcontracting means you require of the subcontractors that they follow your directions regarding safety.

The suggestion that the work could not be done without stopping production makes it pretty clear that Tesla was involved in that decision, after all the contractor has absolutely nothing to gain from whether or not production is stopped but Tesla definitely does.

At a minimum Tesla's oversight totally failed.

Often "C" but with enough additional tooling on top to qualify as a distinct language (by which I mean: you can't just pick up a random C library - or a random C programmer - and expect to be able to work with them in that environment). Sometimes Ada. Sometimes others. Sometimes a heterogeneous stack that might include Python in some non-safety-critical parts.
I think the criticism from the regulators has to do with the fact that you cannot create something representing a dollar without approval from regulators and without requiring anyone to do KYC - effectively circumventing all KYC/AML systems in place in the traditional financial system.
As mentioned, GDPR has been in force for 2 years - Friday is the end of the grace period. But, as I referenced in another comment, it doesn't just "end" tomorrow, the expectation is that you have a plan in place to address future privacy issues and that you're acting in good faith.

If you're not compliant, but aren't deliberately not compliant, and are active in trying to address that, and report anything you might be breaching, then they're not going to go after you like hounds (in the UK at least).

The ICO seems to be a fair and reasonable body, they just now have some extra teeth.

Indeed, it is not service to EU users which is governed by GDPR, it is data processing of data subjects in the EU. Obviously the data processing as defined by the GDPR doesn't stop simply because the service stops since storage is considered processing.

Seems to me Instapaper painted a big target on their chest: "We're not compliant, and we're going to give EU users the middle finger in the meanwhile." Whereas, their size and business model may have staved off the data protection authorities attention, now a bunch of angry users may well be issuing complaints.
Qt is pretty good and has been around a while. The criticisms of it are well established and known, too. Which should make it easy to evaluate.

It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available, as this is highly dependent on local regulatory approval. Please note also that using a self-driving Tesla for car sharing and ride hailing for friends and family is fine, but doing so for revenue purposes will only be permissible on the Tesla Network, details of which will be released next year."

Ask HN: Why am I getting all these GDPR emails?
My inbox is full with emails from various companies and individuals. In one form or another they are all stating this:

"You once gave us your email so we can send you newsletters. If you don't want that anymore, please tell us. Otherwise we assume that we still have the right to send you our newsletters."

How does that make sense? If I once gave consent to get newsletters why would the GDPR invalidate it? And if so, how would this mail and me doing nothing create a new type of consent?
That's very clean looking code and I think it would be considered so regardless of the language it was written in, IMHO. Nice! :)

This is unlikely to happen. Browser developers don't want to maintain multiple forks of their JavaScript engines. They want new features introduced in a backward compatible manner so they can maintain a single engine. Imagine in 10 years if you had to maintain 7 slightly incompatible engines in parallel. A new browser written from scratch would have to implement all 7 engines since the older versions would never go away.

Some context from a non-expert.

From what I understand, things like spoofing in financial markets (where you submit orders which you don't plan to have filled for the purpose that the market sees "interest" in a certain direction and in hope that moves the market), are regulated but still a grey area. The reason for this is that it's an activity that involves intent. Placing certain orders is perfectly ok if you're hoping that they get filled and you take a position, but placing the same orders could be spoofing if your goal is to cancel them once the market starts moving as a consequence.
GDPR applies to data processors in the EU or for data subjects in the EU. Citizenship is irrelevant.

Not everywhere - there are countries for example that put you in a kind of servitude to the state, where a state-controlled agency takes all of your income and gives you a stipend to buy food and other necessities with. The rest gets used to pay stuff like your house first, and then all of it gets put into your various debts.

Seeing as it's basically indentured servitude, I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's definitely better than prison though, because you're still (more or less) free to move around whenever you're not working.
It hasn't always worked like that. In earlier games, if another civ built your wonder, you could switch to building something else and retain like 75% of production (don't remember the exact numbers). That meant you didn't lose a massive amount of production in one of your most important cities for no good reason.

(I should say: it's been a while since I played the earlier Civ's, but I'm fairly certain this is how it worked. It's certainly works this way in Alpha Centauri, the best game in the series!)

Ask HN: Change career to Cisco configuration?
I'm a software developer(mostly Java) with 15+ years of experience. I being offered a job involving router configuration and all that is related to get communication systems running including support. I was told that very few people nowadays have the necessary knowledge. Is this true? Do you think it is worthwhile to learn this technology? Is this a technology that makes it easy to find employment in the future?
They made the right call here.

I see so much API breakage in modern software ecosystems that I consciously try to minimise my dependencies so I don't have to spend all of my time constantly updating my code to work with the latest versions of everything. One only has to look at disasters like the transition from Python 2 to Python 3 to see how much pain breaking changes cause for both developers and users.

If TC39 took the attitude of "hey, here's a cool new feature, who cares if it breaks a bunch of existing sites, everyone can update their code, right?" then web developers would never get to make actual improvements their sites or do anything cool, because they'd be stuck in a constant cycle of maintenance hell. Sure, I find it silly that typeof(null) === 'object' because of a 20 year-old bug, but I consider the stability that comes from the "don't break the web" principle to be more than worth a few small annoyances like this.

If more of the industry followed this approach the world would be a better place.
Of course, that was just my impression and not really an accusation based on facts. I apologize if I got it wrong.

I actually liked it that way, that Instapaper stays the same and reliable while other feels the urge to 'innovate' giving it's loyal users only trouble. Scripts that I have written years ago for uploading articles still work and Instapaper is still my Read-It-Later of choice.

As for images - I had to accept that Instapaper works that way - but always had been little annoyed that it is possible to turn off images but that's not persistent option.

There's a more practical side too: earlier in the project a day's work can produce a large increment in functionality. Later in the project you get less and less obvious result for your effort. Those smaller and smaller increments are important for your product to be polished and reliable, but they don't feel as satisfying to the implementer.

That's right. The approach that works for me is optimising top-down. Save on the big expenses (accommodation, car, groceries) which requires planning and System II thinking. Try and save on the smaller stuff but as you're fighting your impulses (under social pressure, marketing influence etc) its much harder, so go with the flow.

You seem to think that the committee sitters which believe in "don't break the web" are "inadequate". But this philosophy is shared by the browser vendors - they are simply not going to implement a standard which "breaks the web". You will have to convince browser vendors they are somehow better off if their software stops working as intended.

Software Engineering in Barcelona vs. Madrid
Hello guys,

I am a software engineer studying masters degree right now at the University Of Manchester. (Advanced Computer Science) I am graduating in September and considering moving to Spain after my graduation. The cause of that is the environment of England actually, I do not like the weather, food, people here. I know the salary will be less but that's fine. I have done quite sufficient research about the tech-situation of Barcelona and Madrid. However, I still have some queries in my mind, would it be sensible to move to Spain right after my graduation or should I get experience at least for a couple of years in The UK in order to have a good CV? I am expecting around €50.000, I have enough knowledge as well as practice about the tools that the companies are using. ( Java Technologies )

However, I have noticed that, in many comments given in forums, it's been stated that the people in BCN are less warm than the people living in Madrid. I do not know the reason of that. Would that have an adverse impact on my life as a foreign person willing to go to Spain?

Lastly, If you have the knowledge, could you please mention some of the good tech companies that have a decent salary and reputation in Spain.

Kind Regards.

> That said, if trading is the killer app for Bitcoin/Crypto [0] in general

I've had this thought myself. I think we can agree that most solid evidence points to Yes, trading is the killer app. Trading on something that has no intrinsic value. I.e. gambling.

And hey, gambling is a legitimate killer app. The gambling industry is enormous.
> Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction

So the software is ready, it's just those damn regulators that are holding it back.

Come on.

The way this is phrased makes it sound like the features are just around the corner, not that the software is years from working, if it's even possible at all.

I know somebody who was told by a Tesla salesman that "Destination Based Autopilot is only months away". The advertising is absolutely deceptive, and I say this as a Tesla owner and fan of the company.
Democracy doesn't work because a popularity contest is a good way to solve problems.

It works because the central problem of society is how to make people communicate without murdering eachother. That's why we have police, why we have the courts, and ultimately, the vote. All these things are ways of resolving disputes without violence.

Any effective decision-making that comes out of this is purely incidental.

What's wrong with Poloniex exactly?
> What made you adopt this habit?

For losing weight. If you're obese to begin with, this regime will give very good results at the beginning which also helps with the motivation. Note: Fasting + Strength training is superior to justing fasting. Why ? Because fasting decreases your metabolism. Strength training does the opposite.

> It does seem counterintuitive to everything I have read and heard throughout my entire life.

Yes, I'd say so.

> What sort of improvements, if any, have you noticed from adopting this style of eating versus the standard 3-4 meals per day?

1 ) Increased mental alertness - I've noticed how quickly the alertness disappears once food enters my body & digestion begins. Not sure If I should attribute this to increased insulin sensitivity or something else.

2 ) Increased productivity - It's amazing how much you can get done when you're not thinking of what & when to eat. I spend most of time writing code, learning new guitar riffs, & planning my workouts.

3 ) Prolonged workday: Related to (2). You can effectively prolong your daily work hours easily from the standard 8, up to 12 - 16 hours. This is because of (1) and (2). Heck you can also go 24 hours+.

4 ) Better quality sleep: On multi-day fasts (24+ hours), I get good quality sleep. I do believe they're of "good quality", because of an interesting effect I've noticed - you don't get the usual grogginess when you wake up. It's non-existent.

> A tactical question: Do you load up all of your daily calories in that one meal e.g. if your usual intake is 2500 per day, do you have all of that at once or do you eat less?

Yes - All calories in one meal. However, this is not optimal for muscle growth. For athletes, it'd be
ideal to spread out protein intake across two meals, at the least.

Hi Brian! I was worried when Instapaper was acquired, but so far it's been working fine for the most part. I did get the impression that the whole thing became a lot slower. Is that possible, or is it just my end of things (connecting from NL)?
