I'm reading the comments and I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about what CSS Grid is. Mostly because the spec is big and there's not just one way to do things, so it gets mixed with flexbox and tables.

I recommend watching last year's Morten's CSS grid presentation[1] as it has convinced me to stop using other layouts/frameworks and just embrace grid, which is truly amazing and it has been a blast working with it and making responsive websites without worrying too much about the markup.

An excellent argument that isn't receiving the attention it deserves IMHO.

Sounds like you wouldn't have to change anything then.

Make extra personal data stuff opt-in, rest should be the same as usual.
That’s a fact. Net neutrality, GDPR, socialism — disagree with any of these and you’re an outcast here. It seems like “unintended consequences” is not something that many people seem to care about or understand. It’s like listening to freshman dorm-room pseudointellectual pontification at 1 am.
I do not think trying to slow down the competition will help the EU.

Guess we will see. Think instead less product and services will be offered.

If we look at the last 100+ years we can see Europe has fallen and continues to as the other continents rise.

The fact is political bodies have been empowered with increased enforcement discretion. They are motivated, as political bodies, by politics.

I watched the same thing happen, around 2012, in Frankfurt and Berlin with respect to Germany's regional banks. Weak and undercapitalized, in violation of EU rules, they were summarily ignored due to political necessity. The same tendencies will apply with GDPR. The lack of a requirement for politically-independent enforcement was a mistake.
You can just google "remote workers are more productive"
Wow getting a “Agree or piss off” GDPR message. Pretty sure that’s not ok.
I understand where you're coming from, but for most people the brute force approach to reading original texts without sufficient background deprives them of many layers of understanding that makes a text rewarding to read.

And because most readers are centuries removed form the original context of the text, a direct reading also skews their interpretation significantly because most will read it through their own 21st century lens (this is how chronological bias seeps in).

Companion texts (or commentaries) might seem like crutches or training wheels because they only present one interpretive option (which could reflect a commentary author's biases).

The remedy is use more than one commentary, not necessarily to discard all commentaries. Critical thinkers do this instinctively anyway -- for instance, we click on multiple Google News links to figure out what's going on.

Commentaries help a modern reader to get to speed on the historical context and thinking that was present during that era, which in turn helps them to formulate their own (more informed) thoughts. One could try to piece together this material by inferring stuff from the text, but chances are one would be wrong about the details and one would have to consult secondary or tertiary materials anyway.

In Chaim Potok's "The Chosen" (fiction), there's a Hasidic character named Danny Saunders who was a prodigy, praised by all for his intelligence. He had an eidetic memory and great ability for analysis, but found himself stumped when reading original texts in psychology. He studies German in order to read Freud, but he gets stuck on the fact German words can be understood in many different ways, when he only wants to find the ONE way.

He has a breakthrough when he realizes that Freud's works need to be studied, not read. His epiphany led to him studying Freud using Talmudic methods (with multiple commentaries), arguing with it, etc. and finally, the text yields to him.

TLDR: when a text stumps you, try reading it with multiple commentaries.
Well, with Babel you at least have source maps so you can get the original source locations in your backtraces.
I'd like someone knowledgeable to describe market conditions in EU and China. Neither seem rosy, too, as far as I can tell.
Isn't announcing you've never fired a gun in a fictional work an example of Chekov's Gun? By announcing it the narrative is setting up the "dramatic tension" ahead of when the character is confronted by a situation potentially requiring firing a gun or killing someone.
Maybe they should be genuinely concerned about the homeless situation in their neighborhood and help address it, rather then creating feel good videos to show how awesome they are. I doubt even their employees think the current status quo where they live is acceptable.
The thing for me is that it requires me to log additional data. Now I need to know where my users are from, how old they are, and how often and how they access their account.

All data I happily ignored so far to increase privacy.
Not really.

I have an ad blocker--AdGuard, paid but blocks ads in apps as well--so I'd just see the site with no ads. Now I have to be bothered with notices.

But anyway--everyone is different. I only keep viewing websites that provide a good experience to me, if they show popups and similar crap I just go back to Google immediately.

If they care about my visit and visits of people that do the same I do, they'll try to provide a better experience. Otherwise they won't.

It's all fine with me.
I see your point, but I also think a smaller, more focused language can be useful for teams; in order to enforce best practices.

Think Elm: it's impossible to produce side-effects or mutate objects, cause the language simply does not have the facilities to do so. The guarantees Elm gives you would be hard to maintain if it was just a library which had to deal with JS's constant dynamicness.

Moreover this guarantees do not only improve developer experience; but also compiler optimizations.
Because accountants treat it differently to OPEX (operational expenses) when valuing and for taxation, and hence they are separate figures available from companies. Obviously both are important, but growth in customer base isn't forecast by OPEX.
Curious if Reddit will have to provide an easy mechanism to retrieve all of your comments now as part of GDPR.
Yes, definitely.

I meant everyone that even talks about these things, like us for instance.
It is how our system works. I am always curious when I see a post like this and how do you think it should work?

In other words how would business work without ads?
But if I want relevant ads don't I want them relevant to things I'm searching for anyway? I.e. advertise things on sites (and sections) where I'm looking for that category anyway.

There's no need for 'targeted' ads that follow me around if the ads are in the places I expect when looking for something.

Content providers should be ensuring they display quality and relevant ads, not relying on 'other' services to come find the consumer.
Is that enough to lower intelligence? I couldn’t seem to figure it out from the paper.
Agree 100%. Targeted ads enable us to have shorter ads also.
Not true. Ever heard of compliance risk? Apparently not.
IP address are permitted under the security exception: Storing personal information in order to protect information or information systems is permitted without need for consent. Using your log files for security explicitly permitted and there is nothing that changed a system administrators job before or after GDPR on this point.

If you are using a email list in order to fulfill a contract to your members by informing them about times and so on then that is also permitted by GDPR. If a customer buys a subscription then the company in order to fulfill their side of the contract can then naturally store information to do so.

Mailing lists also has had a long history of best practices in order to not get marked as spam by the large email services. Get consent so users don't mark it as spam and allow unsubscribing. If a small yoga studio used a email list for a significant time and not been forced to do shady behavior in order to bypass spam filters, then they are almost guarantied to be compliant with GDRP.

Similar an online business has a contract when a customer buy a product or service. In order to fulfill that contract a email address is commonly used. Perfect GDPR compliant. Hard to imagine a online business before GDRP that did not have a contract with customers.
The author had been using Elm before (they're an author of elm-ui, for example), so maybe there's an inspiration?
You’ll be sad that it ends, but you’ll have closure.
> If I have a brick and mortar business in the US and some one from the EU decides to do business, do I have to follow EU consumer protection laws? Unless I have an physical presence in the EU why should I have to follow their regulations?

You don't.

If they're not In The Union, and you're not In The Union, then you're not required to comply with the GDPR.

> Further, why cannot the EU just allow its citizens just do business with other extra-national companies if they choose to? Meaning, if an EU citizen chooses to do business with a non-GDPR compliant website, why does the EU care?

It's impossible to give consent for something if you don't fully understand the ramifications of what you're consenting to[1].

It's very exciting to see table partitioning native support. I can't wait until foreign keys point to a partitioned table are supported with cascading. This single feature makes many database designs unprecedentedly salable especially for situations that are based on time (ie sales this quarter are all we care about and must be fast).
FWIW the cameras on public transit (which have been the norm in Cologne for at least a decade I think) are legal (under the old data protection laws anyway) because the recordings are automatically destroyed after 24 hours or so.

I think the GDPR would protect them because of a number of factors:

* there's a legitimate security interest (vandalism, terrorism, rape and other personal crimes)

* the recordings are not stored longer than necessary to fulfill that purpose

* there is clear signage indicating you are entering an area with surveillance cameras (i.e. you are giving informed consent)

The GDPR protects the individual's right to privacy but it's a balancing act and the security interests are fairly valid.
Yeah, I think the chances of "fluoridealert.com" being a legitimate source of scientific information to be pretty slim.

Create two systems: one administrative one for regular users. You don't want regular users anywhere near your administrative system.

The Muslim way of fasting is likely not healthy (or at least not optimally healthy). Food intake should fit the body's circadian rhythm: eat during light hours, fast when it's dark. This is pretty well established.
GDPR Version of USA Today Is 500KB Instead of 5.2MB
Corporations aren't going to solve the problem. It's the government's responsibility, but you'd probably need a federal program, not a local one, to ensure that generous cities aren't overwhelmed by homeless people moving there from less generous cities.

Of course, short of the Democrats controlling both houses of Congress and the presidency, that seems rather unlikely to happen (and even then it's far from guaranteed). Certainly the GOP doesn't seem very concerned about this issue.

Now, what could help is relaxing zoning enough to build more housing, thus making housing itself cheaper. With cheaper housing, something like Salt Lake City's Housing First program would become more feasible.

But that would probably require ending Seattle's USA-standard segregationist zoning to allow more density in more of the city, and doing that is fraught with peril, politically. People are used to the government enforcing a certain lifestyle in their neighborhoods, and don't like the idea of the market letting in more people, especially people considered 'undesirables'.
I suspect "the right to keep your mailing list memberships and email address private" may be one of those rights/freedoms.
For the ones who want to get (a similar) developer experience while coding actual JS(X): you can use `react` together with `mobx` to the same effect. Additionally, take a look at `mobx-state-tree` to get more structured code.

And of course, there's Elm if you want to get a completely different thing.
There are also apneas that don't necessarily respond to CPAP/BiPAP treatment. I've been told that I have central sleep apnea -- no effort to breath for up to 30s at a time -- but BiPAP treatment only made a marginal improvement in number/duration of apneas, and was discontinued as it was aggravating other conditions (skin disorder).

I believe the point is whether the string is intended to be displayed to a human, not whether a human might read it in the code. Still some wiggle room around logging, etc. I guess.

> They are motivated, as political bodies, by politics.

The "political bodies" in this case are the National Data Protection Authorities. They are indendent, and their only politics is ensuring compliance with the data protection regulation, as required by the GDPR, Article 52 [0].

Furthermore, due to lack of evidence, your example is not conclusive as to show that regulatory bodies act for political reasons they were not supposed to pursue. Also, if one regulatory body broke the rules, that does not mean that others will do so, too.

However, I'd love to know the details of what bank was breaking what regulation and what authority was not acting according to their mission, if that is what you want to exemplify.

Somewhat off topic, but this post seems to have a bunch of apnea experts in it, so here goes: what are the long term effects of relying on CPAP? As I understand it, the airway partially closes because muscles relax in your sleep. Doesn't the positive pressure at night weaken those muscles?
There's really no serious debate about that anymore. The temporal juxtaposition of this extremely violent event with the extinctions means it would be an incredible coincidence if there weren't a causal connection, and there is little to no evidence anything else was contributing. In particular, there is no good evidence ecosystems were in decline before the impact (previous claims to that effect were just due to sampling problems and logical errors.)
Google's main ad products, AdWords and AdSense, are content based. For many advertisers, this has always been the best type of targeting. E.g. some hotel in Toronto may advertise on the search engine results page when you search for "hotels in Toronto", or view a video about things to do in Toronto.
I’m fine (or at least ok) with ads. I’m not fine with being stalked.

Rate-limiting the IP's as well as giving them a 5-second delay before handling the http requests should be very effective.
I decided to check their Privacy Policy to see if I can get access to content without giving universal approval to whatever practices they have, and this is just hysterical:

The Right to Withdraw Consent. If you would like to opt-out at any time, please delete the “gdpr_consent_1” cookie from your browser window. You will have to opt-in again in order to view Slate content.
I'm loving that the privacy policy linked on text.npr.org links EU users to a URL on the non-text version which is again just showing a prompt. The actual text-only version of the EU privacy policy is the one linked from that prompt, not the text site.

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't satisfy the requirements for the privacy policy being easily accessible if this were an EU company.

PureScript is not JavaScript with a different syntax: it is a language with a full Hindley-Milner type system.

"A strongly-typed functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript -- Build real-world applications using functional techniques and expressive types, such as:

But if one wants to understand what layers can be peeled off conscious experience while still all the while continuous, then senses can safely go out the window. All one is left with is pure thought fueled by memory..but even memory can be inhibited by different drugs. Pure thought lacks space..lacks sense of self. Can even lack time..no order of thoughts..just an oscillating jumble.

Pure thought is the ultimate nature of consciousness because it has the fingerprint of the universe - interaction - without referencing it -- only manifested by it.

A bunch of machine learning neurons on my computer have no notion of anything lest I feed it to them. But calculation -- ie. interaction - they are given..and based on. In fact, giving them sensory input about the world is nice but isn't the inherited notion of computation, calculation, and information/memory/storage much more fundamental and genetic to this universe? Not some specific form like a curated data set?

Everything in this universe has the mark of its laws and ultimate fundamental nature. But I think the simpler systems show much more of an imprint.

Pure thought is one of the most distilled fingerprints of the nature of fundamental interaction of this universe.
The free market has no incentive to solve the problem. Charity is nice but has limits in terms of scale. The government is the only entity that could feasibly implement a housing guarantee or something close to that.
