Look at what this case is about, Facebook and Google are saying if you want to use our service you need to enable tracking otherwise don't use our service.

This lawsuit states that Facebook and Google are not legally allowed to deny service.
somebody is thinking "well, if I were a robot, I'd kill everybody."

Most of these, from the earliest, are various allegories about responses to exploitation and oppression not people thinking how they’d want to kill everybody if they were a robot.

I get the impression that a big part of the motivation for GDPR is this type of resentment against America.
Canada. Looks like unlimited cell data plans are not a thing here, at least not yet.
You just said Flac is for lossless backup. Losslessback is not equal to the user experience.

Kind of selfish of you to think Flac should be a standard where some people wouldn't even know what it is.
Albuquerque has been very worried about this for many years, check out their Water 2120 plan for more information:

https://www.abcwua.org/uploads/files/Water%202120%20Approved...

Is it enough? Probably not, but Albuquerque hosts more than half the population of the state, so if only they get their act together it'll still cover most of us. I think it's likely that well water will be mostly sufficient for most of the rural communities for a long time. I would hope that Las Cruces develops a similar plan, but Santa Fe's population is not that high and the cost of living there helps keep it down.
This issue isnt about privacy...

Nobody reasonable is arguing that it's a bad idea to let customers control their data. The actual issue is that the rules are vague and thus create a lot of confusion and waste that affects all companies, while not providing any real protection against the massive conglomerates that abuse data in the first place.
Worked at a popular teen retailer in HS. Friend of mine would have his friends (not including me) come in and return items. He'd simply give them the item back, pocket the cash/gift card. Got caught by fraud prevention due to high return count.
I'm about as neutral as it gets when it comes to this guy, but I've seen a ton of these claims and decided to watch his stuff for myself and honestly - No, he's not some anti-female alt-right leader. He spends more time than I think is rational on trying to fit things into an archetypal paradigm but he often pushes a very pro-women viewpoint.

Case and point are his criticisms of feminism as a movement in the past several years where he argues that women are sometimes done a disservice if they choose for themselves to want to focus on family over career.

All in all, I don't love his viewpoints but I have to say I find it rather sickening that people push views about individuals they don't like that aren't supported by reality.
Slices: My reading of README.md is that Black inserts spaces around the colon, is that right? Almost none of the Python I've seen in 20+ years is written that way. The tutorial and documentation on python.org don't use spaces around the colon, and it is extremely rare in the standard library (out of over 1100 slice expressions that have operands on both sides of a colon, I count 10 that use the extra spaces).

Quotes: We have a difference of opinion over what constitutes an established convention. If the language's own way of displaying strings has been stable for its entire history, I consider that established. A reasonable choice would have been to do what repr() does (single-quotes unless the string contains a literal single-quote) or a simplified version of it (single-quotes always), not the opposite of what the language itself does.

(I wouldn't care so much about this except that I've really wanted a tool like Black for a while and greatly appreciate the philosophy!)
I didn't even know that - thank you :)
Yes, none of this is new or surprising.

The irony here is that American users are so used to being endlessly surveiled without consequence that they are genuinely shocked that the rest of the world refuses to put up with this bullshit. This is completely normal to them.

The GDPR is just another step in a global fight by people all over the world to regain their data sovereignty and protect themselves from endless surveillance. The momentum at the international level is very clearly for data sovereignty. Russia and many Asian countries are following closely behind. And while everybody was freaking out about the GDPR nobody seemed to notice that China passed even stricter online privacy laws [1] earlier this month. Singapore [3] and Malaysia [4] are up to speed and even Thailand [2] will likely soon require minimum standards. (Edited to add more links.)

The end result is like so many other things: American companies will end up blocking everybody but American users who they know they can exploit without consequence. American users will celebrate their exploitation as freedom from Big Government. Everybody else will move on and just shake their heads.

I agree with you that being comfortable with a stack is not a good reason to use it. Developers need to keep up with emerging languages. Team leads also need to be doing this and provide direction. But as I said, there is more to the success of a project that the language and I think people get hung up on this. Yes look at all the options, but agree on a language/stack and move on. Also, give just a tiny thought as to whether you will be able to hire any developers to support the thing in 3 years. Boring yes, but kind of useful.
For comedic effect?

Seriously though, I made no comment on the law itself so I'm not sure what your point is. Most reasonable people would agree it's a good law in spirit, and I wish I had some of those protections where I live.

But the notion that it can be enforced on non-EU entities is ludicrous.
> Wait, I don't understand, this is blocking traffic from EU continent. I thought GDPR was applicable for all EU citizens regardless of where they physically are. And I may be wrong, but I thought it did not apply to non-EU citizens surfing the web from the EU (although I may be wrong about that).

I believe you have that the wrong way round. The territorial scope (as it applies to processors outside the EU) is defined as "processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union".

I've never heard of regulators, at least in the U.S., not considering the cost of regulations. It would be hard to avoid in the legal rule-making process.

No support yet for macOS, but the plan is to make Chromely truly cross-platform. The only limitation now is the required skill. I have never developed on macOS before and do not currently have the bandwidth to learn enough.

However, as I have mentioned to others in the past, help and contributions are welcome.
Sure, but my point is that's easy. The hard part is converting iOS to a point where you can get real multitasking work done. Even just switching back and forth between an IDE and a web browser is super painful compared to a desktop/laptop.

The sha256/512crypt algorithms, as well as md5crypt, hash the input based on each character in the password. This is why the execution time increases. bcrypt does not do this.

bcrypt is constant-time, not because it truncates at 72 characters. It's constant-time, because it slurps the password and salt once into the state (initial setup), then spends the rest of the time manipulating that state based on the cost (expand key).

Yes, you could pre-hash with sha256crypt or sha512crypt, and that completely works around the password-length performance issue. You pre-hash with bcrypt to get around a maximum length restriction, not to get around a performance bottleneck.
It used to be, now most phones (except for some bad ones, mainly on the low cost portion) have mostly satisfying performances.

Sure, all of them drop a frame or two here and there and that's very annoying when you work on graphics, but nothing essential.

IF we could push the SOCs to have at least one week of battery life, that would be pretty awesome, but that's not going to happen any time soon.

I think that's a pretty high bar to say someone is proficient with a language. Children as young as 1-2 can effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings with others. I would speculate there are many functional adults with language skills not much better than a typical 10-15 year old.
Evacuation involves conceivable technology.
You have two solution:

1: ignore GDPR, you'll probably fly under. And if you dont, fine are scaled for business and people affected, as well as privacy infraction. Encrypt your backups, encrypt PII if you can do it effortlessly, and you're good. If you are not using emails except for checking double inscription, encrypt them too, the entropy is low BUT this is better than nothing .

2: If you have some time and money to spend to try to improve your services: self-report. A public agent will point you the weakness of your data processing.
I don't understand what Schrems is alleging here. "They totally know that it’s going to be a violation", and they're not bothering to do anything about that fact, because... why?
I am not a lawyer, but it seems that the plaintiff is basically arguing that, according to GDPR, if you want to offer a service in the EU then you can’t just have users waive their rights under the GDPR. You could not offer a service in the EU, but if you do then you can’t just tell your users “if you want to use our service, then you agree that GDPR does not apply to us.”

I can't think of any web server that doesn't log ip addresses by default, and I think it's been established that satisfies the GDPR threshold test for personal data. So while what you say is true, I think you're being a little bit deceptive when you say 'As long as you're just "responding to HTTP requests"' because all practical and established means of doing that violate the GDPR by default.
In the southwest we make fairly heavy use of swamp coolers (evaporative cooling) which lets you pick your poison. They work pretty well in the more arid areas, but can only drop the temperature about 20-25 degrees, so on the hottest days, you crave real A/C. But where I live (Socorro, from the article), that winds up being only a few weeks a year thanks to the altitude, and many of us just suffer through it. I just put in A/C at the new house though...

My recollection is that the humidity in Phoenix actually gets higher than you'd expect due to swamp cooling, lower altitude, less temperature swing day-to-night, and a huge amount of swimming pools, but I have no source for that, it might be bullshit.
Read the thread again. Nobody has a problem with data protection but the fact that the regulation is not actually clear, hence creating more work while simultaneously being rather ineffective. How is that good for the user?

Also it's hilarious to claim China has better privacy when that government tracks everyone using facial regulation with real-time threat scoring and national social rankings called a "citizen score". A late payment on a single bill gets your face and contact info on a giant billboard so go ahead and try complaining about your data over there and see how far that goes.
Nice, thanks a lot for preparing that, that makes it really easy to play around with this.

The entire adtech business is due for correction.

It's strange that you think the business models are going to fly in Asia. China and many Asian countries are laying out privacy regimes that are even more strict than the GDPR. Take a look at China [1] or Thailand [2]. Pretty soon it will be the case only in America that adtech companies can collect and sell endless personal information without consequence.

The whole solar system would be thrown into disarray, and we don’t know of any Earth-like planets in other systems. We’d be toast, end of story. Maybe in a few hundred years, and given a lot of warning we could save some small fraction of humanity.

This is more of a semantic discussion: after a while, there will be individuals with better strategies to survive and reproduce (this is the implicit teleology of evolution: living things live on, dead things go extinct). You don't even need someone giving this orders because we define living things as those who live (research communities can't even agree on the definition of life - see viruses). Our words imply specific meaning.

I guess you mean that there is another meaning in the word "learning" in that context: That the species follows a specific purpose. But what is the species? The aggregation of all individuals of some kind (the research community can't even agree on a definition for "species").

Some individuals will do stuff or become something (due to genetic modifications) that gives them more resources or better reproduction rates - sometimes individuals will learn and teach it to their offspring. If it's a good strategy, the species will contain a lot of individuals who acquired this strategy.

So I guess "learning" is accurate enough for common usage.

> there's a reason that Silicon Valley venture capital goes to software engineering (where regulations have generally been lower) while significant disruption in the automotive space is coming from incumbents and one company founded by a guy with a net worth of $18 billion.

Maybe it's because the auto industry is far more capital-intensive than software. I don't see anyone taking on incumbents in capital-intensive IT businesses, such as cloud services (do you want to compete with Google, Amazon, and Microsoft with your VC money?), or in software, operating systems in entrenched markets (desktop and smartphone).

PIPEDA – Canada's version of the GDPR from 2000
> isnt 1+1=2 true in the same way that 0=0 is true, namely by definition?

In the "traditional" formalism, it matters exactly what you mean by "+1" :-).

People normally define a binary addition relation (two operands -> sum) using a "more fundamental" unary successor relation (one operand -> successor).

Zero is just a constant, and numbers are defined in terms of it and the successor relation: one is "S(0)", two is "S(S(0))" and so on. So if the "+1" in your post is an invocation of the successor function, it certainly is axiomatic (from the axioms of equality):

S(S(0)) = S(S(0))

On the other hand, if we're using actual addition, it might take another step or two, using axioms of addition, like:

X + 0 = X, and

S(X + Y) = X + S(Y)

So the proof might go something like

S(S(0)) = S(S(0)), by axioms of equality,

S(S(0)) = S(S(0) + 0), by the first axiom above, then

S(S(0)) = S(0) + S(0), by the second axiom above.

And I guess I got lucky that the second axiom was not written

S(X + Y) = S(X) + Y

or I'd have been stuck for a day trying to prove that addition is commutative :-).

The problem only arise when you out-source the tracking and personalization of the ads. You could do the profiling, aggregation AND anonymisation on your end.

You're still allowed to have personalization and targetted ads, but now you actually have a responsibility for the data you collect and I don't view that as unreasonable.
There seems to be a big difference between enforcing a law on all financial institutions and enforcing a law on all websites basically that serve the EU. The latter seems next to impossible to enforce.

Ouch.

Of course it could happen, but I don't see the EU fining those on the other side of the contract as long as they moved to another DP and alerted their users when the breach of contract was discovered. Both actions should happen regardless of GDPR.
Yes it is. The customer paid for their past use of the service with their data. Wanting to take that data away after having used the service is exactly like wanting a refund for a product you consumed.
