You completely ignored the relevant part of that recital:

In order to determine whether such a controller or processor is offering goods or services to data subjects who are in the Union, it should be ascertained whether it is apparent that the controller or processor envisages offering services to data subjects in one or more Member States in the Union.

Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller's, processor's or an intermediary's website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union

If you are not “offering goods or services to data subjects who are in the Union” then you are not subject to GDPR. As stated in the recital, the mere fact that a site is accessible from within the EU DOES NOT make it subject to GDPR. This recital tells you the test that is used to determine whether or not you are. It isn’t necessarily even required to block EU traffic to be immune from it, though it’s a good idea since you’re playing with fire. You simply can’t translate your site to EU only languages, create content or services that might appeal specifically to EU residents, etc.

No targeting of EU residents = no GDPR liability.
In no way at all is a galaxy phone a "clone" of an iPhone, so I don't know why you keep using the word "clone". Have you owned both phones? I have, and they are very different phones.

Further more, icons are not new. And the task of displaying icons on a touch screen is obviously going to involve spacing them in a manner so you can tap them efficiently with a finger. There's very few options available to arrange the icons apart from a grid and paginated screens. Most designers and engineers would arrive at that obvious configuration after a short period of trial and testing.
Submit a complaint. You didn't accept the terms, and they breached GDPR by not offering an alternative without tracking.
I think the GP means ads need to be served 1st party. For this, Google would be out, imho.

If Google hosted the ads, how would they not collecting your browsing habits? It's the same as with the embedded Facebook Like, which is in the same ballpark.
A popup (probably what used to be cookie warning) on Medium says:

> Medium uses browser cookies to give you the best possible experience. To make Medium work, we log user data and share it with processors. To use Medium, you must agree to our Privacy Policy.

I must agree to logging user data and sharing it with processors?

EDIT: come to think of it, it might be a new, GDPR-specific, dark pattern. I can use the site without clicking "I agree", and the existence of that button sort of implies the consent is not assumed. The wording of the message ("you must agree") is just trying to bait consent.

EDIT2: I just read[0] that biggest sites in my country are treating closing the GDPR popup as giving consent to everything. This definitely does not sound as explicit, informed consent. I sincerely hope it'll land them in a world of hurt.

If Google wants to be the go-to provider of clouds their open source Kubernetes strategy is pretty backwards. As it stands, though, they've got their competitors reselling their orchestration platform technology giving them platform control moreso than a selling point for their cloud.

> I'm still hesitant to conclude that K8s has "won" or something

Take a look at Azures container offerings (kubernetes itself or kubernetes compatible), along with the AWS equivalents. All three major cloud platforms have managed kubernetes solutions now. That doesn't mean competing orchestrators are dead, but they're hiding in their bunkers hoping that the worst is over...

> There was a story here two weeks ago about the absurd complexity of it.

Yeah it's absurdly complex, except when compared to the absurd rats-nest of almost-there not-quite-compatible technologies it has replaced ;)

There are lighter weight solutions for lighter weight problems, but map the DevOps cycle from A to Z and Kubernetes is head-and-shoulders simpler than competing solutions. Simpler, more comprehensive, standardized, and better documented. Add in cross-cloud portability and you've got something hard to compete with.
Why block EU users instead of just disabling analytics and ads for them?
I believe Moonlight uses Nvidia's GameStream protocol, so it's not quite the same (you need an Nvidia card to use it).

If users are required to show their faces, it would be rather difficult to stop people connecting their various subreddit-specific accounts.
Because emails only have info about the recipient; and email isn't used for access to anything of worth, like bank accounts. /s
> ... and you can't change your mind later.

Is that a typo? Isn't GDPR the implementation of the right to be forgotten plus "left-the-fuck-alone after used your shitty site for 0.5 EUR to buy an emoji"? So you can request removal of all your personal information.

Yes, Amazon needs your delivery and billing address, but they don't need the delivery address after delivery. So you can request them to delete it pronto! And the billing stuff has to be kept for 5 years, and must be used for tax administration purposes only, no spam, etc.
Show HN: Static binaries for a C++ application
That's so strange, in Norway, I can still load LA Times.
You do realize that Intel themselves were the upstarts once, right?
That's correct. When I said developers, I primarily front-end developers who don't write backend code. People who are able to build static websites and usually make them interactive with plugins, extensions and services.

I need to think how I can make Checkout Page interesting for full stack/backend developers. It would then mostly be a time saver, for which the fee is indeed too high.

What kind of pricing structure do you think would work well for a developer like you?
The point is that, if I'm not making material money from EU residents today, it may be easier for me to just make it clear that I'm not trying to do business in the EU than figuring out if I need to do anything to become compliant. I may in fact be 100% compliant, but it may take effort to figure that out and there's potentially still some risk.

Personally, I do no tracking on my sites so it's irrelevant to me but I understand why news sites with primarily local readership would decide dealing with the EU is more trouble than it's worth.
Nope, the site works fine if you disable cookies. Once Facebook and Google fail I'm sure they'll be next.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing less US news. One of the downsides of being on the global English-speaking internet of social link propagation-discussion sites is that it's incredibly US centric. We need to pay more attention to our own countries and localities.

It cannot be reversed without a significant amount of effort (really, even when you say the "entropy is quite small" it's not actually as small as you would think) and is therefore probably reasonable. Worst case a regulating body will tell you that no, they do not think "this will take 1-10 years to reverse" is quite good enough and then you can work with them on a solution that would be good enough.
I got a few dozen gdpr emails today, some from companies I didn't know existed. This law is a fantastic development for end users/consumers.
You'd think they would've blocked e.g. Netflix and such as well (esp. from the Apple TV), given how those payments go around Apple as well. Actually there's probably an agreement between those parties somewhere.
Plenty of overlap. Ipad stream-gaming on the couch while the wife watches TV, for example.
Nothing having a contract does not mean everything is lost. Many people are giving this advise, "oh but you don't have a contract".

Even if you don't have a contract It does not mean someone can keep your money.

As long as you can prove it's your money which is unlawfully kept hostage, you can sue.
This is cool! I have so many questions, like how does it work with context switching? How do they protect access to the cache?
That's nice, someone provided them some food. I hope they didn't get sick from eating the furball.
Deduping a file of size X/30 against a sorted file of size X should take time (X/30) * log x * n, since the lookups benefit from binary search due to the sort and you only need to do X/30 of the lookups.

This should be significantly smaller, by a factor of 10 at least and likely a factor of 30, vs sorting X records. You probably have the same Big O but doing it on less data.
I have a fine collection of tin foil hats, would you like one?

Seriously though.. Fast Forward 20 years and the Social Media platform that everyone uses has just 'accidentally' leaked 1bn users bio-metric data to a 3rd party. Good luck re-securing your identity after that.

My point is still valid, you can't change your eyeballs, fingers or face if your bio-metrics get leaked.
I haven't butt-dialled anyone since I got swipe to unlock on my iPhone. A 6 digit unlock code/fingerprint would make it seem even less likely to happen again.

Japanese forum giant 5ch (formerly 2ch) has also decided to IP block all of EU in order to "comply" with GDPR, as of a few days ago.

I've been hoping it wouldn't spread, since it's depressing to be confined to a little internet bubble in this day and age. Guess I'll be needing a VPN.
I don't agree. What's the next step? Will they ban me? Is it my responsibility to reach out to them and tell them I disagree? Or am I just expected to never go to Medium again?
That's not surprising. Transaction costs for credit card payments in Germany are higher (2 to 4 percent) than for electronic cash payments (0.3 to 0.95 percent). It's simply not feasible for many sellers to offer credit card payments, especially as everyone in Germany has an electronic cash card anyway.
Hi Mattkol,

Is there a reason why you chose to use Ajax instead of WebSockets which has much lower latency and overhead? Not backward compatibility I hope! The spec was finalized and implemented ages ago.
The most hilarious part of that is that you really don't need to. I've added a blacklist for everything (first party JS, styling, images) on medium.com and everything continues to work just fine. I don't remember specifically why I did that, but it's probably a dark pattern (such as a modal that pops up after one paragraph of reading) that annoyed me in the past.

That's exactly how the legal system works in most of the non-American world.
Maybe, but they have a good reason to keep that data, and they even go out of their way to "hide it" the best they can using a one-way function.

To save the information that a certain email address has explicitly withdrawn consent, they need to store it. The alternative is to send out a new email the next time someone adds then. I think the interpretation of GDPR this particular instance of information storing is still open, but they have done everything possible to keep it safe. Should the list of hashes be leaked, the best an adversary can realistically do is check known emails against the list of hashes.
I didn't click "I Agree" anyway. If they processed the data, I guess they're in violation now.

That said, it's not the first time I've seen something like that this week. I wonder if some companies aren't simply testing if they can get away with it.
Yet you can still get to tronc.com

Their HTTPS implementation is broken, though; Cert common name wasn't set properly. GJ!
To be GDPR compliant, everything needs to be opt-in (except for the stuff that is critical to functionality). If you refuse to answer their questions, they need to assume that means "no". From this you can see that it's not your responsibility to tell them anything and you can still use their website just fine.
True.

The notion of Chromely not needing Node to run and may not even be needed for development should count for some difference and less use of resources, methinks.

Worse if you consider Electron.NET, you have to run a separate Asp.net server besides Node.

These are differences that made me conclude, yes, it is somewhat "lightweight" or simpler compared to them.

To me these are the advantages Chromely brings to the table.

I appreciate the feedbacks.
Surely there’s a case that does this.
Nice, but the downside is that you can only train a rather limited set of traffic situations this way.
This:

> Apple’s design patents -- covering the rounded corners of its phones, the rim that surrounds the front face, and the grid of icons that users view

is bullshit. It's either implementation details, or design I've seen on phones way before the iPhone.
They do '“envisage” offering its services to users in the EU'. That page has a massive ad (700x500 px) suggesting that I buy a subscription for "DKK10 FOR 3 MONTHS".

If offering their service priced in the local currency of an EU member state doesn't constitute offering services to users in the EU, then I'm not sure what could possibly qualify.
I'm assuming it could be relating to the inability to play a game you've just bought, if limited to just the Steam Store app.

That alone isn't exactly competition against the first-party's store.
Consequently, "You don't owe world anything. Tame it to your whim."
I like the name of "load bearing mac minis".

Reading that I wonder how much mac minis are used by actual user vs used headless in offices for various purpose.

There is one such mac mini in my office (named "buildbot", because that was its original purpose) that is heavily used by all the dev team (thankfully not connected in anyway to production, apart from simple uptime monitoring).

Obviously, like any other I'm interested in those funny stories you have.

"The GDPR explicitly allows any data processing that is strictly necessary for the service - but using the data additionally for advertisement or to sell it on needs the users' free opt-in consent," said noyb.eu in a statement.
"GDPR is very pragmatic on this point: whatever is really necessary for an app is legal without consent, the rest needs a free 'yes' or 'no' option."
If they were wrapped up in a single package that was marketed towards buying and playing those games, using the same logic they quite probably would be.
Ask HN: Motivation and employement
Hi, HN,

I am working at big tech corporation in Russia as a experienced software developer. We got a lot of perks, I enjoy cushy salary (approximatly 7-9k$ after tax monthly - this is approx 8-10x Moscow median income), and I saved reasonable amount of money (I think I can live up to 5-6 years not working without frugality with the same standard of living).

I do not enjoy consumption - I own old car, live in standard Soviet old flat (with mortgage paid off), but have a family of three (including myself) to support.

The thing is I completely loose motivation to be an employee - there is just no economical sense in it, I just feel that my free time costs potentially more, than the wage I make.

I am thinking about starting couple of my own things, but this is requires my time (to communicate with customers, to make sales, to build and evolve product), and it is risky (I can fail =) ).

So the question is: I think that many of fellow HN's been in a such situation. What mady you (or not) to actully jump the ship?
A colleague sent me this, lots of funny variants https://gdprhallofshame.com/
Yup. Today I opened my fridge wondering if I'll see a note about an updated privacy policy inside.

It's ironic seeing that the law was in power for the last 2 years, but companies woke up only last week. A lot of those mails are only information, with no (clearly marked) link to a consent panel, so I assume that me ignoring them means they won't be allowed to spam me anymore.

But sure, the best subreddits tend to be heavily moderated and/or very niche. Is this really a problem?
I found the story:

It says "many", not "every".

But even then, I'm not convinced that "many" programmers would rather write the latter.
'Virtual safe space' to help bumblebees
I have used ip -oneline to parse configuration of servers, and it's really practical.

The only real gripe I have with IP is their long argument/switch format. Unlike everyone else, ip is a minority, which accepts long options with single dash "-". This prevents someone from combining many short parameters under a single dash, also it's confusing to use.

Yes, it unofficially supports the old double dash format, but if you are supporting it, there's no point in supporting single dash long options.
"There was enough time to comply": how about I start up now, not 2 years ago? I will not have 2 years to implement all their nonsense. I can't wait until other countries/regions pass laws as stupid and coercitive as GDPR.

"I find this behaviour unfair and short-sighted on the mid to long run": exactly what I'm thinking of Europe's decisions (I'm a french citizen, living abroad, not in EU).

We should hang law makers when they pass legislation that affects everyone, for "crimes" without victims.

In the mean time, people mutilate women yet nobody cares: cutting a few clitoris won't cost you a thousandth of what GDPR can cost you. You can safely continue to ignore the issue.

Does the EU even know what Injustice is? or is it just blinded by ego and ideology.

Thanks in advance for down-voting my not-leftist, not pro-EU, not politically correct opinion
No, if it's your money - not having a contract does not matter.

Imagine if a thief robbed your store, not having a contract with thief does not stop you from recovering theft amount from the thief.
> I mean, using a file-sharing service (which one person did) isn't really different from emailing them to me. It's just more convenient/advanced.

You should also avoid mailing them around. Better rent some personal webspace/server (rule of thumb: if you do not pay for it, you are not the customer, but the product), put it there and create for everybody who should have access to the data a private account.

EDIT: If you must mail the data around, encrypt it beforehand.

I’m not in the EU, so I wouldn’t have seen that. They’re stupid for doing that if that’s the case. If they’re accepting EU currencies, then you are correct that they have subjected themselves to GDPR. Go file a complaint, I assume your country will tag them for millions of euros in a hurry.
"Amazon will stop selling Nest smart home devices, escalating its war with Google"

Sounds like the same behavior. Google has been known to replace whole other start-up services or de-list them.
I think you can add a few .9999s to that.
Perhaps someone could link an article about why these (IMO relatively trivial) design ideas are even patentable? Well before the iPhone 1 existed I had a phone with apps (or what passed for them back in the day) in a grid on the home screen, I've seen rounded corners (though not quite as rounded as the iPhone), and a rim around the screen.

I'm no Samsung fanboy, I use Apple products, we're a 4 iPhone house, but this all just seems like petty stuff.
Because that would result in the EU users burning bandwidth and processor time without any offsetting revenue.

I'd imagine that the cost of providing (say) the Los Angeles Times to the EU is non-trivial.

This is the EU, not the US. This law was specifically crafted to prevent the kind of reptilian behavior that you're describing here. I honestly (and perhaps naively) expect you to understand the source material a little bit better if you're going to make blanket statements about it here.
We're talking about iOS, not OSX. There's a huge overlap.

Quite interesting is the statement about protecting democracy. Democracy has been so perverted and set up for this very moment of vulnerability over the many mutations and perversions that have been introduced in ill guided and mindless support of ostensible “improvements”. To anyone who can evaluate things objectively and isn’t swayed by propaganda, it is quite clear that the world is heading towards authoritarianism as democracy is being dismantled and perverted and poisoned right before our very eyes to the cheers of the ignorant masses and “experts” and the “educated” who always find themselves at the heart of all human calamities. So it’s what we are doing, authoritarianism our of utter ignorance for how to preserve what others handed created and handed us. At least it lasted for going on 250 years, let’s try more authoritarian socialism. That will surely work … until the elite reveal that they were just using it for a bait and switch. Oops. Can we have our democracy back, we will say; and the inevitable response will be, nah, we kind of like that you gave us control of your lives, we choose to keep it that way, sucker.
