All of a sudden HN has divided into EU vs US on basic human rights? This seems odd. I don't think you guys really think there is anything wrong with GDPR, not in its implementation nor in its sentiment. I really don't. The reason you are whining like crazy though is because you are in a project where the deadline/budget did not take into account this new EU law.

Hey, blame the ones who planned your project, not the EU.
Just want to say that I'm enjoying reading this discussion greatly. Please keep up the civil discourse!
I’ve been listening to Animals as Leaders recently it’s instrumental and is kind of Jazzy, and Heavy Metal.
Good idea. Doesn't have to be complex - even java hash code with modulus would work.
> I’ll be the first person to say that I was not the most experienced and or talented programmer in the world, but do we want to prevent such people from starting companies?

Yes. You should be fine as long as you're not collecting anybody's data or potentially harming them in any way, but apart from that, there should be established a bar to entry to what has become the fundamental motor of almost every single thing on the earth.
Everyone has an opinion, and this is theirs. That's kind of the whole point.
Work hard.

Be strong.

Don’t complain.
Believe the parent is referring to the iconic and world famous Google Doodles.
>None of those examples make sense from a classical economics perspective, nor would they be considered sustainable from a game theoretic perspective either.

Please explain how. Not complying with the GDPR doesn't have any obvious consequences because every company that sells user data is pushing their negative externalities onto others. The GDPR is trying to make it so that the people creating the negative externalities are the ones paying for them
Crocodile tears. After facebook, google, cambridge analytica etc. screwing us all six ways to Sunday, nothing makes me happier than to see greedy inconsiderate techie "entrepreneurs" kick and scream and cry at regulators (read: voters) bringing the hammer down. If you didn't want regulators involved, maybe don't treat users like human garbage? You/we brought this on ourselves. There is a new Constable in town. Now put on your big girl/boy panties and deal with it.

Or is handling user data responsibly one of the new "three greatest challenges in computer science"?
It's far higher than SF at least, in fact I'd say it's higher than most US cities. Plus the traffic is less of an issue with the light-rail expansion (assuming you live close enough to light rail).

But still far lower than most of the rest of the world.
Hallelujah!!
That's why I was very specific when I pointed out that the population growth has been slow. There was no confusion about rapid growth (although some of these states are growing quite solidly, Minnesota for example).

The parent was clear about the claim: Kansas and similar heartland states are losing population. It's false.

Over decades there's a massive difference between gaining 0.3% (or similar) population per year and losing 0.3% per year. Kansas gained 1/3 more people over 50 years. Had that gone the other direction persistently, they'd barely exist as a state today. Contrast that with Germany over that time, which has seen maybe 5% growth. Germany would have loved to have 33% growth over 50 years. Or the Baltic states, which are more comparable in size to a Kansas - zero net growth over 50 years. Now that's stagnation.

Or put it into more concrete economic terms. With the additional 1/3 more people, Kansas has an extra $38 billion in annual GDP output today, a total of ~$160 billion. Had they gently gone the other way, and declined slowly over time, it would be more like $60 or $70 billion today. It's a huge difference. They have a GDP per capita higher than Sweden, so when you can organically add 1/3 more people to that, it's a very meaningful economic result.
Your website looks fantastic. I'm just beginning web development and am new to HN. It appears I cannot PM you. May I ask, is that an in-house design? I would love to know what frameworks you may be using. What your website looks like is what I ultimately want to be able to create by the end of my web development aspirations.
After testing this some tonight, I'm committed to my first-blush response. This is my standard from now on, and it is the standard for my team.

Someone needs to ask a StackOverflow question about Python formatting and we need to answer it with "Just use Black." Upvote the fuck out of it, and be done with this forever.
> but he was a complete asshole

What did he do?
I mean yeah. I think it's leaving money on the table, but it's certainly a valid option as long as you aren't processing EU residents personal data in violation of the GPDR still and have money/assets flowing through the EU.

If you don't have anything within their jurisdiction there's not much they can do to you
I mean, I see the general wisdom of what you're saying, but I think older backups are still good practice. I've seen it take almost a week for a data corruption issue to be noticed. Not crazy to think it'd take even longer, sometimes.
It's HSO4, not HCl.... but the recommendation stands, the difference is just that the fumes from the acid itself are basically non-existing, so you only have to worry about things under a spill, not above it.
GDPR only has an effect starting from yesterday, I highly doubt it had a retroactive effect up to the early 2000's to wipe out EU startups, that point is moot.
Marry well bethought! Barbour actually does live on an ancient farm somewhere in the English countryside, maybe the environs are influencing his, uh, humours?

SFO and LAX send a lot of traffic to each other (each one is the other's top domestic destination), and there doesn't seem to be a directional preference:

https://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=LAX&...

https://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=SFO&...

There may be a practical argument that the HSR would make it easier to commute to SF from further away, which might relieve housing pressure a bit.

But I really do think it mostly comes down to politics, and to there being more people in the SF area whose politics lean toward public transit/public works than in the LA area.
It does apply to everyone, but since data is so valuable now, I would think the ethics still apply.

Data about users has become a valuable asset, and taking it from people now is depriving them if that value, whether or not you personally use it to make a profit.
This hits home.

Wy too many times I have been at places where the Project Manager is seen as the "Boss" or the gatekeeper by management and by himself.

Engineer usually disrespect the project manager as they don't really understand anything and just do stuff based on an Excel sheet.

Temporary, probably, as people sort their stuff out. Nature abhors a vacuum and ad spend will reach the demand asymptote.
I'm so so sorry that my right to privacy is inconvenient for you.
What people ask us
In real life, there are problems like classification and precision that cause problems in making broader conclusions. If you are measuring poverty rates, for instance, you could be basing your decisions on several different benchmarks. The statistics, math, machine learning, etc., are all downstream from what we're even measuring and counting in the first place.

In a more elementary formulation, we could say one bag of rice plus one bag of rice is two bags of rice. But one bag of rice is underfilled and the other is contaminated with pests. So you don't really have two bags of rice after all. So maybe 8/10 + 0 is the correct expression in that case.
"The hacker spirit" was NEVER about harvesting user data so you could sell it to advertisers. Bite your tongue.
> Instead of being simple and straightforward to implement,

I am not sure I can fully follow you here.

If implementers accepted that they only collect what is absolutely necessary and they delete what the they are not legally requited to keep things would be much easier.

Problems start when the business model is that customers'/users' data is our product/an asset and we somehow try the find the minimum possible implementation that just meets the requirements of the law while still using all loopholes it might possibly leave.

I agree that the law is not very clear for how you should code it. Nor very detailed what you can do with a certain piece of data. So it depends on your approach: If you take a conservative approach that if in doubt, we don't keep the data it suddenly gets much clearer. If you start fiddling maybe I could still do it if we did it like this and that you end up in endless work.

And of course if you have an existing system that never had the requirement of deleting anything there is a lot of work. But the law has been in force for 2 years, so businesses that wake up now when the transition period has ended it can be a mess.

>Laws designed that way almost never actually accomplish what they set out to do.

How would you have written the law? Do you have counter-examples of laws being written so clearly that you could recommend them?

The key point really is: Many business models and practices on the internet are incompatible with the spirit of GDPR. It's a fundamental right that the users own their data and businesses are not allowed to do with it whatever they want.

Lawmakers did not want it write it that so clearly, because lobbyists would not have accepted it. And business owners still don't want to accept any suich fundamental right. So complaining about the law being too complicated is somewhat canting.
Is the climate actually nice? I could not live in a place where it's cloudy most of the year.
That seems perfectly fine. You'll have to watch out if you have assets/money flowing through the EU jurisdictions still as they can still fine you and take your stuff I'd you violate the GPDR.

I'd you are completely outside their jurisdiction though, there's no much they can so to you without starting a war or convincing your own government that the GPDR should be enforced.

I do think it's leaving money on the table though. The EU is 500 million people, 2/3rds more than the US and with a bigger aggregate economy. The US also has regulations that have a cost to implement so it's not like you are avoiding the issue just by focusing there

Can someone ELI5 to me why we can't simply have ads targeted to content instead of to visitors?

What changed in the landscape that this is no longer possible?
how will you have ads that follow you around the internet?
Kansas is considered to have a declining population in demographic terms because it is a) growing more slowly than the rest of America and b) getting older, (http://www.ipsr.ku.edu/publicat/kpr/kprV29N1/kprV29N1A1.shtm...) both of which are symptoms of the fact that more people are migrating away than are moving in (http://www.ipsr.ku.edu/publicat/kpr/kprV29N1/kprV29N1A1.shtm...).

Wouldn't being closer imply being used together by the operator? So: 6/2 * 3 = 9 but 6 / 2*3 = 1? In the slice context it seems very obvious the colon has to be slicing, because it can't stand alone to produce an indexable value. But spacing should use this rule, right? [I think this rule was the one used by fortress, the Guy Steele language?]
Years (decades) ago, I read about soundex, and found this little language that came with a soundex module. That was my introduction to Python, which I've used for my master's thesis and in personal and professional development.

But Python has since removed the soundex module.
My price target for Bitcoin was $10k in 2013.

I have no way to rationalize a target at $100k, especially sharing the pie with other currencies... not saying it won’t go there, I just don’t know the math for that.

Given that there’s not a great reason to buy at $8k. Maybe for diversity among other investments.
Interesting to see how many websites will close due to a drop in ad revenue. A paywall won’t save your small news site.
This is completely unsurprising.

Ad buyers are uncertain about what the fallout of the GDPR is and are taking a "wait-and-see" approach to advertising. That's causing the price drop, since fewer people are buying. When the dust settles, and they know how to proceed, it will return to normal.

If I could predict how quickly it would bounce back, I'd be tempted to get involved in the exchange market.
Not GP but scraping data for personal projects off companies overprotective of their data is probably the most common example.
Not holding my breath but I hope something like this happens in the US.
We have been speaking with engineers at most of the large mailbox providers and server developers for many years, and made changes to the JMAP spec based on their feedback to make sure it can work for them. You will also find feedback and contributions on the IETF mailing list from some of them. We can’t speak for another company’s product plans however.
The parent was specifically speaking about migration patterns, and Kansas is losing population through migration. It is currently able to make up for that loss through having babies, but that isn't very relevant to the argument on whether Americans are more likely to move to or from high-tax locations.
It was still true 2 months ago. I did the same as you and stop using it.

Here's a list of existing bugs that prevent me using it in production https://github.com/rachelandrew/gridbugs
Philosophers always seem to intent in discussing why philosophy has value. While every piece of science which moved onwards and away from philosophers are intent on showing why they have value.

It also seems just laughable when philosophers try to impose their field on others they know nothing about. Like philosophy in the multiverse or quantum mechanics. It boils down to “I don’t understand this thing, likely others don’t either so they need someone uniquely skilled like me to explain it to them!”

You never see them actually going into the concrete problems of other fields like: The philosophy of the Navier-stokes equation in light of new more efficient micro fluidics chips”. Philosophers thrive on the boundary between what we know really well and what we know but not that well. And that boundary is shrinking.
That’s why there is a feeding frenzy in philosophers discussing recent advances in deep connected graphs of simple computing nodes for modeling and classification, from people who don’t even know what a a matrix is and postulating laughable things like that’s these networks will spontaneously develop their own understanding of philosophy purely based on the fact that’s the space they exist in is called something to do with intelligence.

Just update ip to emulate ifconfig and netstat when called as such, like busybox does. Or all of those MTAs that ship with a sendmail command.
Also, let's not forget Google has tons of data, and even more ways to extract additional data, to train the models on.
> ...not from a certainty that it is, in principle, undiscoverable.

In principle if we have to violate rights to obtain all of the relevant information, then some information must be undiscoverable.

In a more scientific bent, you have the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the existence of intractable computers science problems to support the idea that there opinion-free realms where science cannot provide solutions.

And I find labeling claims as opinion to dismiss them a bit facile. The underlying point is that there we conceded that there are practical considerations that make us act on incomplete information. Therefore we concede on a practical level that all things cannot be knowable. Conjecture and guesswork pervade everyday life.
Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the way in which information is
stored and shared. It facilitates the creation of a distributed public ledger
of transactions that is transparent, secure, self-validating, and cannot be
forged. Tampering or tinkering with the data is impossible as a copy exists
with every user or participating nodes.
With diverse applications in numerous industry sectors from maintaining
land records, establishing identity, banking industry, making academic
credentials universally recognizable and verifiable, real estate, voting,
Internet of Things, healthcare and many more, blockchain technology is
disrupting the existing practices across various industry verticals.

They are not "simple and straightforward to implement" for two reasons. First one, the problem domain is not simple and straightforward to implement. It may be surprising, but it's only because we've never learned to treat PII with proper respect. Second one, it's because businesses did their best to avoid and abuse privacy laws previously, so the new law has to counter the usual workarounds.

Yeah, it might be getting harder making a startup working on personally-identifiable data - even if it's not doing anything shady. But it's also hard to make a food or healthcare startup; you can't just "move fast and break things" there either. In EU, PII were finally granted the status of something actually important.

As for startups that depend on abusing user data, I'm very happy they have problems now.
Yes.

But clearly we haven’t woken up enough to do something about it.
Wow! What are sites supposed to do to place non-targetted ads (traditional content-based banner ads)? AFAIK, ad networks (if there are still any left) and ad customers still want tracking pixels or other instruments to measure (unique) impressions, which would also need consent under GDPR. OTOH, you could say that DoubleClick and Facebook ad impression figures aren't really more transparent or fraud-resistant than no stats at all since nobody can verify those anyway - except your own trackers, that is
That's not measuring the existence of morality though. It's measuring whether certain things can influence behavior. And because it's a lab study, the behavior tends to be fairly trivial in practice.

Besides studying whether people behave morally is begging the question if the question is "do morals exist?".

Thank you for a sensible and balanced opinion. The Americans seem to be shitting themselves over this, when it is meant to help us all work toward better privacy - not shoot people or put them in prison.

There are no GDPR police looking to shut you down. Calm down.

> And if getting your "act together" is a substantial cost for small companies, no matter?

Yes, no matter. Should small companies also get free pass on food safety laws? Health inspections are a PITA for restaurants too.

This reaction is pretty much textbook psychological reactance[0]. People doing business had some freedoms wrt. user data, but it turned out in practice that they should never have them in the first place. Now that those excess freedoms are being removed, businesses cry foul.
