2) Website schedules car to be driven to store.

3) Store Robot packs groceries and finds car in car-park.

4) Negotiation between Car and Robot occurs, groceries placed in trunk.

5) Car drives off home.

6) Car notifies domestic robot that groceries have arrived.

7) Groceries put into fridge by domestic robot.

8) Lazy human requests that domestic robot gets them a can of beer. Unaware that the whole process occurred.
> You can't sell guns and drugs online.

Don't care about that sphere of activity, never going to do any of theses.

> If you're taking money, you have to make sure you know your customer (KYC).

Can you be more precise? What are the laws about that and should'nt it be Paypal job to support that? Never wanted to compete with Paypal either..

Data is literally everywhere... that means GDPR apply to almost everything. Which is why you may see some people complains about being able to sell guns online but you will see much more people complains about GDPR.
Which of those really exist though?

I fully agree they exist, but it is very hard to separate which are just culture from those that are real differences. You can measure hormone differences of course, and there are other measurable things, but you quickly get into measurable differences but no idea if they are nature or nurture.

> The thing with Emacs is that it offers you an universal, consistent interface for everything text.

This. As my programming career extended past its first decade, I began (like many people) to feel the fatigue of constantly adapting to new editors, email readers, file managers, etc. The long-term _consistency_ of Emacs gives me an anchoring point and frees me to pay attention to deeper patterns - data structures, architectures, concepts - things that matter more than the tooling du jour.
On point 1 take for example Ubiq, it'll cost you say 10x the 1h rate or $4.7k, and the 24 hour volume is 130k, that seems like a pretty good ratio to me. Or Bytecoin - let's say 100x since it's harder to get the capacity - cost $50k, 24h volume - $18m.

On point 2 I thought the entire point was to double spend - so you have 1 einsteinium or whatever, you put it in the exchange, you use it to buy bitcoin. You re-spend it at another exchange buying bitcoin. You got twice as much bitcoin as you paid for. As long as you're out before it becomes obvious what you've done you make profit.
Danger. Then you can tell people Danger is your middle name.

I actually seriously considered changing my middle name to Danger last year. However, I decided it wasn't worth the trouble for a cliche pickup line due to me being a dual citizen, and a resident in another, so I'd have to change my middle name in 3 different countries.
> If you run a public forum and people choose to reveal things about themselves in posts, that obviously cannot be what GDPR is about.

Yes it is what GDPR is about, the fact that people voluntarily share this information on a public forum doesn't nullify GDPR. Otherwise, Facebook wouldn't be under so much heat. Much of the data they collect comes from posts, comments, etc. all happening on a public forum.

> Even if it is, it doesn't concern any mom and pop site that isn't running a forum.

Say your mom & pop site has a comment section, where users can talk about blog posts they liked or disliked. Now all of a sudden you have to dedicate resources towards GDPR support.

You're not wrong at all. Having access to code is far more efficient. My favorite type of assessment to get is when I get a test env and code access. It is uncommon though, a lot of companies are protective of their source code and don't want to hand it out to machines they don't totally control. In most cases when I get code access I either get a laptop from the client or a VPN and rdp onto a machine they control.

As for charging, I've never been paid based on findings, but based on time. If they fix while I'm testing that is great work by their team, but I'd prefer a stable test env so it's a bit annoying.

Libraries can be an interesting area, I focus my testing on code the client controls and only note known vulns in libraries they use. I have found issues in libraries before and we report it to the client, and work with them to disclose to the vendor if they want.
I was nodding along until this:

> They posted my entire medical record, including notes about my mental health, my bills, my insurance info, my driver’s license, birth date and home address,” she said.

wow. That violates HIPAA law. The counter-sue is going to be huge.

Also, I had a related issue where a doctor threatened to sue based on my yelp review. I cut the review back to verifiable facts instead of opinion and asked if that compromise was ok, he said it wasn't and started claiming it was defamation. I cut off contact and that was that. I wondered if it was possible to be dragged into court by something like this, apparently I may have dodged a bullet. Scary stuff.

"Rails don't go to every department store or grocery store"

Bit of a self fullfilling prophecy there.

Lots of places around the world have rail slips going to the back of shopping malls.

The real reason is that 100 years ago the rail companies in America were so predatory and vicious to any customer trying to ship something smaller than a boxar's worth that the first generation of truck drivers were pretty much heroes for providing an alternative. The companies decided to stay in an inwardly looking economic niche and pretty much only ship slow moving multicar loads.
Maybe, that depends on the implementation. I don't believe they allow password resets from Easyweb via SMS, so i believe in this case it's at worst "as good as it was before", and only when they've managed to hijack my phone number.

Ask HN: What are the best coding practices in research projects?
Research environment differs significantly from regular software engineering:

- researchers conduct experiments that may fail

- they often produce PoC instead of final products

- it's tempting to produce tonnes of low quality code (since it just an experiment/PoC!)

- often researchers are not software engineers so they don't really care about code quality / tests

How to find a good trade-off between high coding standards and not getting in the way of research? Is it possible to move smoothly from PoC to production solution without rewriting everything from scratch? How to share code between experiments / PoCs?

You should really not be afraid to hire/work with people who know things you don't. And, you will do well to actively solicit and consider their advice, not fight and disparage it.

You put your scenario in disparaging terms, but consider another way to look at it:

- They may well actually know better. Listen, ask questions and learn.
- You say arguing, but you most definitely want people who think critically about literally everything. (You also need people who will get on board with the plan even thought they don't necessarily agree with all the details.)
Thoughts from Graceland: An ETHMemphis retrospective
Okay, so add one more caveat—the business has more than 50,000 users OR it sells your data. Perhaps the vast majority of businesses affected by GDPR are not selling your data.

I agree. I'd like to see us quit romanticizing the SV Bro culture of 20-something startup hipsters. The goal of a startup is NOT TO BE a startup forever. Often, having a bit of 50-year-old wisdom is one of the best things one can do. Without that, we have 24 year olds "discovering" Lisp every couple of decades.
>Bonus, if you are caught the company doesn't care, they will hire someone else, but it sticks with your record.

Which is why the company is also fined in many places (like the EU). The problem is the company most of the time.

I'm a programmer in my late 50s. While age discrimination is real, and I certainly have my share of "not a culture fit" and "overqualified" rejections over the past 10 years, if you're getting rejected over 90% of the time then I strongly suspect the problem isn't age discrimination. It's much more likely that your skills are out of date or you've gained some bad interviewing habits that you should examine.

If people want to filter applicants based on age, it's pretty simple to do so before the interview stage.
Cool, thanks for this. I've yet to play with Lean, but it looks very interesting! (I'm hoping that my time invested in Coq will transfer reasonably well...)
Companies leak personal information in BCC in emails about GDPR
The author mentions that for real things the PLT and indirect call overhead is in the noise, which makes you wonder what the point of all of this is. Besides, the headline is click-bait, and the contents is obnoxious: it's all about static vs. dynamic linking vs. using dlopen()/dlsym(). There's nothing in TFA specific to C, for example, nor even to Lua, as any statically-linked program written in any high-level programming language with an FFI to C or assembly will evince this performance advantage over a dynamically-linked version of the same.
> If the audit log is a secure audit log, it's not possible to mutate a record after it's written — but that's exactly what the GDPR requires!

My reading, and the advice I've seen in multiple locations, is that in the case of immutable audit logs (and backups, for example), being immutable logs (or backups) would count as a legitimate reason to retain the information. It would be required to store the logs and backups securely, but that should be done anyway.

The requirement would then be to delete what's possible (which is what the GDPR says) and then not process whatever remains. In other words, it's mandating what is already good practice.
A lot of people are building CRUD apps and adtech, so real skills like NLP will be less valuable (for the bulk of their hires) than being cheap and willing to work long hours.

My company has found a competitive advantage by doing blind hiring and getting super talented people (sometimes older, sometimes female) that other companies have undervalued.
> You understand that you can install a deb/rpm inside a container, right?

That's exactly why I replied. deb/rpm in container is a reasonable choice, and that way, they aren't global for the system but local in the container.
> If you're not collecting data, then all of this is irrelevant. You just say "I'm not collecting data". There's no nuance here.

How do you prove you are not collecting data?

If your use default configs of Apache, or Nginx, your access.log is probably infringing GDPR. It’s impossible to prove you’re not collecting this without an extensive audit.
> d. (In the US and Canada) - A network of Indian truck stops is spreading along the main routes, serving some fine daal and naan bread. (My edit: Sikh highway food is a cultural bookend in India and it is whimsical to see this transported to the Rockies)

Indians know how to do truck stops right.
Yep, hopefully this will motivate more of a performance focus in general. To be clear, Sucrase's parser is a slimmed-down fork of Babel's parser, so Sucrase wouldn't be possible without Babel. Also, Babel has a much broader scope as a pluginizable code transformation tool, so it's much better suited for things like prototyping future language features and doing other nontrivial transformations.

> There's going to be a tipping point in the near future.

I'm not holding my breath. I grew up hearing people talk about how we would have Mars colonies by now. Imagine my surprise a couple of decades later when the shuttle program ended and the U.S. lost the ability to send people into space for a time.

The way I see it, the clock is ticking. If self-driving cars don't reach a certain level of capability soon, I suspect they simply won't; the technology will have plateaued at a point where it will not be viable in the foreseeable future. It'll be like supersonic flight: full of promise in the 1960s and 1970s, but mothballed for decades after that waiting for some engineering breakthrough to make it commercially viable.
There might be bias at play, but this kind of different treatment happens to all sexes and races. It depends on doctors. I'd like to bring up people with ADHD being treated as drug-seekers, but I can't seem to find any real data on it. All I have are collections of anecdotes anyone could read up on by googling it and reading forums or simply reading reddit about it. On the other hand, that's going to be very biased.
> I'm not sure I agree that it's Facebook's fault that people use its platform to target ads illegally, but clearly you shouldn't be targeting job ads to people by age.

It seems reasonable to me that an automated ad platform should take steps to prevent users from running illegal ads. It seems like it would be fairly easy, at least for discriminatory ad types: just look at the law and gray out selectors for protected classes when an ad for employment, housing, etc. For instance, if you run an employment ad, age, race, and gender demographic selectors should be disabled.
Sports and betting apps: why 99.99% uptime isn’t good enough
Can it be worse than what we have now?
No. The law lists the maxium possible fine under the worst situation.

The absolute maximum available is 4% or €20m, whichever is higher, but the actual fine imposed is always going to be less than this. We know this because after 20 years of existing data protection law the maximum fines have never been imposed.
Yes, there are boundless ways to discriminate. Legally, most of them are irrelevant. We've picked a few well-defined things like race, gender, age, religion, marital status, etc. and said "These things you can't discriminate on". If you want to not hire someone because they wore a blue shirt and you hate blue shirts, you can do that.

Further, these aren't punished by force. The remedy is a civil lawsuit, not a criminal complaint.

The biggest issue with taxes, and shipping fees. Is that it becomes this last minute price increase at the very end of your shopping experience. We all know it's there, but it sucks seeing a shipping fee that is half 25% the cost of the item. Give us the full cost up front, if we want it, then we'll take it. But stop wasting our time with only finding out after we've filled our carts.

There are no experts on the law, even lawyers arent. The only one who can authoritatively produce interpretations of the law is the european Court of Justice. For that to happen a country's Supreme court must refer a case to them for consultation which is then binding throughout the EU.

It’s the most self-inflicted wound in history, as an industry. Abusive practices, constant leaks, intrusive marketing, have all been building to a hefty backlash. It’s a shame that you’ve been caught up in the riptide, through no particular fault of your own, but this was inevitable. A whole industry can’t dick over the world’s population without blowback. The time for reasonable negotiations and slow change was probably a decade ago, not twenty years of abuse in. At this point nobody outside of the industry cares if people in the industry are hurting, they just want some privacy back.

We have a 2 story house where the bottom story is a daylight basement. When it gets hot, it usually stays pretty cool downstairs, so we hang down there during the day. In the evening, as soon as it's cooler outside than upstairs inside, we open the back door, both downstairs and upstairs, and turn on a high powered fan blowing air up the stairs... It is really effective at cooling the house.

That's describing probabilities of truth, not the correct responses to those probables. I did not say false positives or false negatives etc, I simply said the post diagnosis odds.

Doctors and patients have little reason to care about odds directly they care about Risk which is ~= odds * harm. Odds going from say 10 to 15% or 0.015% to 0.02% don't have big impacts on your net Risk.
I had to transfer domains once (from WordPress to Namecheap) and the instructions explicitly required disabling the privacy guard. It was only needed for the transfer period, which was about 3 days. I would love to know why the process requires it.

Now that this is mentioned, I revisited WordPress' instructions page and it says: "Most domain names registered at WordPress.com have GDPR protection, which means registrant contact information is not visible publicly, regardless of whether or not the domain has Privacy Protection in place. For these domains, disabling privacy will not result in contact info being publicly published."[0] Does this mean the process doesn't really need it but they registrars require it for some odd reason? If they can work it out without disabling privacy feature to comply with GDPR, why can't they do the same for everyone?
