You're mistaking GDPR's intent with its implementation, an error that lots of people are making.

As Americans we're particularly sensitive about having to follow rules made by people who don't represent us and are not accountable to us. This is a totally fair and justifiable reason to be against GDPR even if you agree with its objectives.
They may have just done that as a cheap and easy way to comply with the new regulations while they wait for the dust to settle. Especially since the text-only version already existed.

Also, I wonder how much of Washington Post and NPR's revenue comes from Europeans. It might not even make sense for them to spend resources to be more precise in their compliance.
they aren't getting the service indefinitely, why should you get the data indefinitely?

It is true that the boomers got a sweet deal. For instance, the Cal State schools were free until then Gov Reagan instituted tuition in the mid-70s.

No, the upper-middle-class robbing the poor has been the history of our highway system, which you can't use without owning a car and paying ~ $0.55/mile to operate it. We have shoveled hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidies down the throat of the automobile culture and we did not get a functioning transportation system from doing so. We got a massively regressive, barely functional system and all of its attendant externalities in the form of health problems for those living near the roads, and end-of-civilization CO2 pollution problems for people living everywhere.

The cost of HSR suddenly sounds so much more reasonable if you frame it in terms of the road budget. HSR's all-in cost for right-of-way, tracks, stations, and trains is about four years worth of California's current road budget.
I noticed that too. Maybe it's related to the maintenance NPM is currently doing? https://status.npmjs.org/

I have a couple of side projects I've been slowly working on toward launch. I hate to say it, but I am indeed very inclined to simply block EU users until I can prove the economic viability of the products. There is no personal data involved except their login credentials and what they type in, and that information certainly is not the planned source of income. But it simply isn't worth taking on the liability.
I did not judge what method they need to employ. I merely dubbed what they chose as coercion.

That said, ads in general do not require personal information, only targeted ads do. But trackers also trade in such data, collect it, build profiles as a service, etc.

We will see whether their choice pays off or whether the competition like the NYT will gain some new regulars.
Eh, this spending puts money into people's pockets just as much as tax cuts would, economically. The government isn't taking a hundred billion dollars and setting it on fire: it uses that money to purchase labor and manufactured goods, the price of which itself comes heavily from labor costs.

The question is whether a high speed train that doesn't offer any appreciable advantages over flying is more economically useful than the combination of investment and consumer spending that equivalent tax cuts would generate.

Another factor is that, as a Californian, I'd rather the federal government take my money and give it to people relatively near to me in my economic network than take my money and give it to oil barons in Texas. Californians don't have a choice between high speed rail money subsidized by federal dollars or healthcare/tax cuts/education/actually intelligent infrastructure choices subsidized by the same federal dollars: it's this or nothing.
I flagged this article is geoblocked in Europe.
>I'm not a trekky, but I would think that this should have happened chronologically much earlier in the canon.

Unfortunately, that was a two-part afterthought and the canon in that respect was never really explored. You could set an entire season or series around it, and Star Trek had a lot of dropped ideas with potential like that.
I am sure most of them are consumers and don't run their own websites.

The GDPR is even an issue for people running simple blogs and forums. Many public software for these don't even have the features for GDPR compliance.

> given that we waste ~40% of all food produced

That's a non-sequitur, and you're adding the loss stats in with waste.

> And that discounts any Black Swans lying in wait from transgenic organisms; we may still yet have a disaster...

Once it's a black swan, it's already discounted, the term itself means the thing is unlikely.

I think the subject deserves more study, but we have people dying of hunger right now, and that's plainly more compelling than "something really bad might happen, we have no idea what, why or how likely it is."
It isn't necessarily that it's not profitable for them, it's that it's not profitable enough for anyone else to offer viable competition.

Right now to compete with Google on 'free', their existing search, browser, mobile & advertising operations make it massively difficult for others to compete and extract similar value from users.

But if that's not allowed, and the practical business models involve charging users directly, it might be possible for small businesses to offer enticing services at comparable prices.
Absolutely, my primary motivation initially was to enable our first to tell us when he needed the potty [I'm a kook, we start potty from 5-6 months], though initially for the first it was mostly telling us he wanted milk/food or saw a light/bird.

We read a lot, and always do sign and speech together. Eldest is in Secondary School (UK) now; if it retarded his speech/language skills as some claim it might then it didn't matter because he and middle child are highly literate (several years advanced in reading age).

Mum, Dad (none of my kids bothered with that sign much), food, drink, milk (both kinds), sleep, tired, hungry, more, finished .. all useful starter words.

From 2+ we start faltering with signed vocab so sign (a modified and simplified BSL somewhat of our own) tends to naturally give way to speech -- I mean what's the sign for gazelle, or pneumatic drill, or to say "it tastes bad" rather than just that they "don't like" whatever new food we're trying to get them to try ...
Can we please talk about privacy, not GDPR, now?
Not take focus away from that good idea (and it is a good idea), the biggest flaw in "Agile" is that people think that stand-ups are for reporting work progress/status. A stand-up is for getting clarification on what you are doing, arranging to get help, clearing up misconceptions between people, ensuring that the interfaces for different stories are meshing (and people aren't going off in wildly different directions), etc. This is why you have scrum master running the stand-up and not a manager. This is why you especially do not have a project manager running the stand-up! It is a technical meeting.

Status should be communicated through artefacts. For example, if the software has shipped, then the story is done. If you are doing a spike, when the new stories have been written as a result of the spike, then the spike is done. The only time you should need more status than that is when there has been a problem and your story got set back. In that case the scrum master should just tell it to the (project) manager -- it's a 30 second conversation and does not require the presence of your entire development team.

In the (very likely) case that your (project) management is not happy with the frequency of status reports (because it takes to long to finish something), then you need smaller stories. Getting your story size down to the size where you can complete about 1 per day will go a long way towards making your management happy. Of course the downside is that you have to be organised -- which, very ironically, most (project) managers really hate. They'd rather have stories that say "Deliver the product" with no other details and go back to their meeting (where they will undoubtedly discover new extremes of productivity, finding endless stacks of 3 word stories).
Yes, it is certainly a proof (in a most commonly-used logic systems)

There may be some logic systems where proof by contradiction is not a proof. The existence of such logic systems does not mean there is any disagreement between mathematicians.

They would only be able to sue if the processing occurred in the EU, according to the national law of the country where the processing occurred. Citizenship is not relevant; a U.S. citizen is entitled to the same benefit.
I think that's fair, but I don't think it's necessarily fair to put the responsibility on foreign websites to do the blocking and vetting. If the EU wanted to block websites that aren't compliant, that would make more sense IMO.
That is also the plot to all of actual history. It's a pretty general plot.
That's completely divorced from reality. Even poor people own cars! 80% of people in poverty have access to a vehicle.[1] $0.55/mile is about $120 for an LA to SF trip. For a family of four, this train is $350. Which one do you think a low-income family is going to take to visit relatives for Christmas?

In any case, poor people who don't own cars rely on busses and subways--which this boondoggle does nothing for.

[1] $77 billion would also create a perpetual fund that would be able to buy a $10,000 used car for every household in poverty every 5 years.

There is no bus or plane that can do anything like what HSR can do. That's the entire point of the project. It will triple the capacity of our north-south transportation system at a fraction of the cost of equivalent airport capacity.

This is something that people don't understand when they haven't travelled enough to experience good rail systems. Rail has massive capacity, 100k people per hour per track direction. That's 500 lanes of theoretical freeway capacity, or 1000 lanes under realistic operating conditions, and it's more than the total capacity between all Bay Area and all L.A.-area airports, even if you operated that route solely with widebody jets, which we don't.
This was true for a huge number of newspapers - user data was an enormous part of the ad business in the print days as well, and has some striking similarities to what happens today online.

Back then it took the form of the subscriber database as you suggest, and was used to help target and sell ads in the paper. The print industry often "sold" the subscriber list in detail to prospective advertisers to demonstrate the potential reach.

Losing detailed subscriber data was one of the primary objections many papers expressed to Apple's app store distribution model which can effectively render readers anonymous, as this was apparently one of the most valuable things they had.
But according to at least one study (1), the California high-speed rail project would be a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gases. If there were a tax on carbon that reflected the damage that greenhouse gases are doing to the environment, we'd be flying a lot less, and HSR would be a no-brainer.

I like a line length rule because I use an editor that can show me multiple files side-by-side, and keeping things to a certain length ensures that I can productively do that.

And my terminal happens to be around 240 characters wide for the font size I use and the size of my laptop's screen, which means if I limit to 80 characters or less I can snugly fit three files, or if I set to 100 I can get two with some breathing room.

Plus, if a line really is going over those lengths, then it's often a code smell: maybe I've got code that's too complex and ending up deeply-nested, or maybe I've got functions or methods taking way too many arguments, and hitting a line-length rule will warn me about that.
We did put this to a vote and it passed.
I dunno, with as many needles that are found around parks here nowadays, I'd bet a fair amount of people are chucking them into the ocean.
To be honest, I think alcohol is the strongest painkiller that's readily available. When I was in pain for weeks, none of the pain killers did anything but when I drank one large beer, the pain was pretty much gone for the next couple of hours. Of course you cannot stay drunk forever but you also cannot stay on painkillers forever, and both are taking a toll on your liver.

I don't know, maybe it depends on the person, how your body reacts to different substances.

>GMO is largely about implanting resistance against herbicides such as glyphosate or genes for the production of pesticides like the BT-gene. Both are there to support pesticide heavy monocultures of which we are seeing the negative effects unfolding.

Except the BT gene is exactly the opposite of a pesticide-heavy monoculture. The point is to make spraying unnecessary. Do you usually just invert the reality of things that clash with your preferred narrative?

>Most of the food is still farmed by poor small scale farmers, which are often more efficient than large-scale farmers.

Curious about this claim, I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_productivity#Sour...:

Some sources of agricultural productivity are:
-Mechanization
-High yield varieties, which were the basis of the Green revolution
-Fertilizers: Primary plant nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium[5][6] and secondary nutrients such as sulfur, zinc, copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium and molybdenum on deficient soil
-Education in management and entrepreneurial techniques to decrease fixed and variable costs and optimise manpower
-Liming of acid soils to raise pH and to provide calcium and magnesium
-Irrigation
-Herbicides
-Genetic engineering
-Pesticides
-Increased plant density
-Animal feed made more digestible by processing
-Keeping animals indoors in cold weather

I don't think any of these correlate with smaller farm size. Do you have any sources?
FWIW, that's about what a ticket costs on the Japanese high-speed rail as well (for a shorter distance even). The difference is that in Japan, driving is way more expensive due to the heavily-privatized nearly fully-tolled highway system
Good point; the sentiment in the original post did mean to include privacy in addition to security.
Nah, I’m arguably middle class and I’m getting tired of this boondoggle with its delays and ever spiraling costs. I take my vote back.
So leading questions are questions that supply two pertinent facts and a third pertinent if leading fact? Everyone wants a rail system to quickly take them where they need to go. Not everyone is willing to pay that much money, wait that long, or accept mind boggling mismanagement.

For example which question would result in more accurate responses: do you want lower taxes vs. do you want lower taxes if it cuts state budgets by 10%?

We've gone through a couple of audits from customers' GDPR-compliancy consultants.

It's simpler than that. Progress in critique continued, we got effective anti-capitalist critique and marginalization-based feminist epistemology, and everything else. We had tons of progress, and the only thing we didn't do was update our ontological models of the knowledge we generated, and roll them into our public school curriculums. The only reason every single person on this planet (barring WHO millenium development goal resistance areas) doesn't know the difference between a hack and academic philosophy is that we didn't formalize it in a way they'd understand and teach it to them.

Society doesn't have to build or rebuild ethical systems, compete with critique, or compete with noise, fascism, mental illness, policy, or a saturated marketplace. You can teach meta-ethics to people and watch them use informed consent in everything (since it's often identified as the best way to be an agent in self interested understanding of pursuing and developing what you want, while participating in society effectively to help others).
When you sell voters the sizzle and not the steak; this disillusion is just a matter of time.

It was sold on an impossible premise;
- Minimum 200 miles per hour (320 km/h) where conditions permit
- Maximum travel time between SF and LA not to exceed 2 hr 40 min
- Financially self-sustaining (operation and maintenance costs fully covered by revenue)

A flight to SF is 1.5hrs from LA (take off and landing). And only costs $150 round trip. If you could reduce the hassle of “security” you have a better, faster, cheaper high speed transit system.

It was supposed to cost $30b. It will cost north of $90b. And it will still need to be subsidized. And it will be slower than 2hr 40min.

If you could possibly deliver what was sold - I’m sure the polling would reflect that. But what the people are getting is a shadow of what they approved.

Group think explains most irrational behavior like politics. It explains why Trump supporters let him lie and gaslight and can't admit he is an idiot.

On the other side super nutty liberals (and media, but I repeat myself) can't accept he is the actual president. Nor can they admit the Democratic party really 'bent' some laws and several federal agencies probably broke laws somehow and has already directly caused a couple shooting incidents (if not more). It has been two years of investigation and the continuation just makes them mentally sicker just like racists and Obama.

We knew what Clinton specifically did and how he lied about it before there was even an investigation. The only question was whether it rose to impeachment(it didn't, though he definitely should be in jail for all the harassment/rape). Liberals protect the same agencies that they hated and would believe any conspiracy theory about 20-50 years ago (and most were true just as now).

I don't trust anyone in power and don't 'have to believe' in any group. I believe in megalomania and greed (heck the legislature's pension alone is insane) and that power corrupts and no one healthy or smart wants to be a politician.

that's not in violation with the GDPR at all. (it's also nothing that anybody is really concerned about).

What's really being affected on the backend side of things is bulk data collection and storage and sharing with 3rd parties without consent.
