How is "just raise wages" more simplistic than "just lower taxes?" Somebody has to foot the bill no matter what you do. Do you think tax cuts are free? They are no less free than wage increases. When you cut taxes somebody else has to get their taxes increased to make up for the short fall, or some other service needs to be cut.

"Markets don’t work that way. You raise wages, trucking gets more expensive and demand drops, causing all sorts of unintended consequences."
YES! That is EXACTLY how markets work! These "unintended" consequences you speak of are the whole beauty of the free market. When you get a shortage of one good, the price of the good increase. This sends a price signal out in the rest of the economy which means more resources gets allocated to produce more of that good. That is the so called "unintended" consequences you speak of.

"Trucking is so competitive that most companies would go out of business if they raised wages 200-300%."
No, because they could raise prices. If all the competition got 200-300% higher wages, they would also be forced to raise prices, which means you are competing on a higher price.

Take McDonalds in my native Norway. They pay their workers about $25 per hour. How can they pay that without raising prices a lot? Yes they do have much higher prices than the US. But how can they then compete? They can because everybody else has higher prices. This isn't rocket science.

"The world is governed by reality, not wishes and hopes and mandates dictated by people that have little understanding of the economics of logistics — or the economics of anything for that matter."

Exactly, in a functioning market economy, prices of a good for which there is a shortage such as truck drivers, the price would go up. When prices don't go up, it suggests it is not a functioning free market. There could be many reasons for that. One would be e.g. collusion between companies or weak competition.

I think that will depend on how seriously GDPR non-compliance is treated.

I’m hopeful some big corps will be heavily fined to set precedent and to ease concerns that GDPR is a mild form of regulatory capture intended to be misused (regardless of its wording) to asymmetrically inhibit new entrants and small firms.
Nice catch! Then again, spelling names wrong is trendy!
I just want to note how non-obvious compliance with GDPR is. Two experts on GDPR and privacy in this thread (Jacquesm and Ainiriand) have been disagreeing throughout the thread on just the basis of whether one should reply to GDPR complaints like this. Imagine how much up for interpretation the more gritty parts of the law will be.

I admit that my view is somewhat US-centric but also has roots in Europe. I would challenge / I am asking: what is the real difference in the EU, that you could fall back on if sued because of these letters? You have to prepare for that if you want to be responsible, right?

Is it because this is not law, but rather, regulation which is only selectively enforced and suits cannot be brought by individuals but rather by central regulators that will never keep up with the avalanche?

Does the EU never enforce law by the letter, so the letters are unreliable and really more like a guideline? (If so, why bother with law?

Lack of EU sovereignty over member states means it won't get enforced if it's really an inconvenience anyway?

Something else?

I think that the primary target for GDPR investigations is going to be the big actors like Facebook, Google and Advertising networks who's single business model is profiting from user data.

Big online marketing companies are looking at a variety of technologies to turn their user's into buying customers of their advertising customers both online and in-store.

Look at Facebook as an example with their dreadful user interface attempt to trick EU customers into opting-in to facial recognition technology.

https://venturebeat.com/2018/04/18/facebook-engages-in-priva...

But there's a good reason for this. The ability for stores to know who their customer is, what they buy and re-market to them is powerful, and incredibly creepy.

GDPR is a good reminder to all companies that the individual user owns their data, not the company. I personally like this shift, which will over time make companies think about the business models they implement, encouraging us to have customers rather than users.
Even if you're running a small side-project, you really should (a) not do things people don't expect, (b) be able to provide people with a copy of their data that you hold, and (c) delete their data if you're asked to (and you have no legitimate reason to keep it).

That all seems completely reasonable to me. It's certainly reasonable that a new start-up or side-project should use these considerations as part of their design, and I should think that an existing start-up or side-project that does not comply should look hard at why not.

If you think these demands are unreasonable, I'd genuinely be interested in knowing which, and why.
I just renewed a domain with Namecheap and, based on the price they're now charging, pretty sure the cost of this “free” whois privacy protection is now just built into the cost of their products. Not impressed.

That is also true, but its proof is different. Proofs have types; the "and.intro hq hp" part has type "q /\ p". If you change it to "and.intro hp hp", you can prove "p /\ p". That is, the following works:

theorem and_commutative (p q : Prop) : p ∧ q → p ∧ p :=
assume hpq : p ∧ q,
have hp : p, from and.left hpq,
have hq : q, from and.right hpq,
show p ∧ p, from and.intro hp hp

(and then you should rename it from "and_commutative" to something else, and you can remove the "hq" line)

I still have to rely on the mobile app which isn't open source, but it is the recommended app from the main developer.
Bublé creator here. The obvious big difference is that this supports TypeScript and Flow, which Bublé doesn't. Bublé is designed to compile a subset of ES6+ into ES5 (the subset of ES6+ that transpiles well without causing bloat, which excludes some features like generators), whereas this seems to be focused on more modern targets.

Technically there are a few interesting differences under the hood, such as Sucrase not wasting time generating a full-blown AST (which Bublé needs to do in order to handle things like block scoping).

Anyway, I won't waffle on any further as I'm sure Alan can explain the differences better — I just wanted to chime in to say that I'm excited about Sucrase. I've written a [Rollup plugin][1] for it, and I'm planning to use it with my TypeScript projects.

The letters aren't even smart FUD. This sort of stuff gets made up by dumb people to validate the fears of other dumb people. It's a kind of self-propaganda.

The increasing latency [1] of access to larger amounts of storage isn't a constant factor, though, even asymptotically. There was a fun post on HN a while ago arguing that random access latency to N bytes is asymptotically O(N^0.5), from both empirical data about real systems and theoretically from the Bekenstein bound and the speed of light. And even if you don't buy that it clearly can't be less than O(N^1/3). Don't go preaching this in job interviews, though :-)

The truth is that complexity theory is always done relative to some abstract machine model, and as with all models it's up to you to determine if the model is a good fit for your practical reality. "To the extent that mathematics reflects reality it is not certain, and to the extent that it is certain it does not reflect reality." There exist abstract models, like the cache oblivious model, that do a somewhat better job of grappling with this issue but don't require to just throw up your hands and rely solely on benchmarks of real hardware. There is probably room for new theory in this area.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read that haha. Part of the genius of that bit is that it's such a believable product in this day and age.
It’s too bad that the flowering of distributed hash table / content-addressable storage research & development nearly precisely coincided with Internet Explorer’s ossification of web standards, or maybe we’d have had something like IPFS built into every browser 15 years ago.
At least they ran multiple trials that all have the same problem, instead of just one?

First of all - awesome app will give it a good testing this week! I've been using Discord's party-listen (or whatever it's called feature).

Have similar silly restrictions been enforced on JQBX to your knowledge?

I've said it many times, GDPR is such a waste of time and resources for startups unless your market is really EU.

GDPR is super expensive to remain compliant, simply because of the broadness of the terms used, leading to undefined scope of liability.

The cheapest way to stay compliant with GDPR is to completely block access to EU customers. In fact, this is what I did with my business. I redirect to a generic text file (not even a HTML that could trigger a GDPR clause by itself) explaining my stance.
I'm willing to say that outright. In my experience as a very aquatic person ie water polo/swimming/surfing most civilians have nooooo clue how to swim. They know how to not immediately drown... But that's about it. Your typical surfer is also a good swimmer and comfortable in the water. So the people who can actually swim are 1. Competitive swimmers 2. Surfers

My adult swimming standards are going to be 1. Can you swim 1 mile open water 2. Do you know what to do in a rip tide
You're right. Why should I have to spend my money to make sure I'm not polluting the environment? Make my products conform to safety regulations? Provide safe working conditions? Pay my taxes? It's all the governments fault for passing regulations that help consumers. Those fuckers.

Go to your iPhone's Settings-> General -> About -> Legal -> Regulatory

There you'll see which regulation Apple follows. Despite being an US based company, Apple complies with the regulations of Canada, Europe, Japan, Singapure, Russia etc.

How do you even imagine that a company will be doing business in one country byt will be excepted from the regulations because it's based in some other country? That would not be possible, companies would simply move to the least regulated place with the lowest taxes. Oh and they do that wherever possible(i.e sell to EU from Ireland).

No, it wouldn't make any sense, and an IP address is a very bad measurement as well. Think of airports, public hotspots, etc - even if you do keep the data, nothing else will be kept that log (or at lease I believe at this point in time), so what would storing the IP get you? An approximate location of a now potentially already recycled device and nothing else, really.

There is already a Javascript implementation [1], but it is not feasible to setup a full IPFS node in every browser tab that loads an IPFS resource. Instead you can use ipfs-companion [2], a browser extension that lets you easily load IPFS resources in your browser. While it can use the Javascript implementation, this is not recommended as it is currently pretty resource heavy [3].

> There's no nuance here

This is your interpretation. Many prominent lawyers disagree.

In any case, convincing a regulator that you are not, in fact, collecting data could be harrowing, distracting and expensive. The risk of incurring those costs probably isn’t a smart one to take for a hacker or very early-stage start-up.
I wonder if there would have been a better middle ground by allowing to charge a fee for such requests, like some freedom of information law does. We wouldn't want to make it a strong deterrent against sending such requests to large companies, though, that should have automated the process anyway.
But then you'd have to be a customer of Google, which is undesirable for many.

Having a database would already be covered by storage, I'm not sure what having database indexes would add to that.

Inflating the prices for the high-end also affects the price development of the mid to low end, because those don't exist in isolation from each other.
The first enforcement mechanism is going to be a letter detailing the complaint and asking for information about how you deal with user's data. If they think you are not handling it properly, you are asked to change it, that's it.

Fair, although I posit that that is not the same as having physical movement integrated into your job at a fundamental level.

Doing a few exercises every 30 minutes is far better than doing nothing and you could argue that doing any more than that has decreasing marginal returns in terms of your fitness indicators. But it's still not the same as having a physical purpose that you can hone and push yourself in.

You understand that you can install a deb/rpm inside a container, right?
