Damn it, the law shouldn't apply all the way down to individuals, over trifling matters and quantities!

If you're harmed by a privacy leak, do you care whether that was perpetrated by a site that has 50 users, or 500,000?

You mention the law here. Where in the law does it indicate that the DPA can't assign the maximum fine on the first offense even if it is trivial?

Network engineer here: I'm going to guess that this is a mistaken effort on the part of a Chinese ISP or the GFW to hijack traffic to 1.1.1.1 internally within China, but probably not intended to propagate beyond the major Chinese international-transit-ISP's connections to the global Internet.

When you’re doing shitty work to comply with this shitty law, perhaps you can find some comfort in the fact that people have suffered more from stupid government policies, and that misbehavior of foreign governments is a persistent risk of international business. This is one place where the EU is vexingly successful — if it was just, say, France doing this, most companies under $1 billion would have no trouble just giving France the finger and blocking their users.

Some of reasons I’ve seen for ageism in startups are cost and “not a culture fit”. Cost I understand, but I believe more experienced people end up being cheaper in the long run when you account for speed, correctness, and long term maintainability. The culture piece stems from the “would I get a beer with this person” and will he/she work as “hard” as a younger candidate with less responsibilities.

Startups need to start realizing that it’s okay to have diversity and different cultural groups. By putting yourself in the stereotypical startup culture box you greatly limit your ability to hire and create diversity. If everyone thinks and acts the same you miss out on valuable perspectives and ideas.
> You can not create deep meaningful human connection quickly.

It depends on your definition of quickly. With authentic relating games, I've had some deep, impactful experiences with people I'd only known for a couple days.

There is a theory that you have to slowly take emotional steps with people over a long period of time before you get to the "good stuff", but in my experience that isn't the only way.

If the two people are open, vulnerable and conscious in their intentions you can take some pretty big leaps instead of all those small steps.
For regular talking to others I don't have any advice except every time you do it you will get better in it - and if you feel crippling fear talking over a coffe with someone I'd say see a therapist.

For crowd talking or performance it helps if you practice your talk to someone you trust and can accept his criticism.
Go through your presentation 3-4 times lets you memorize your presentation and distills your message. The familiar sentences will save you when anxiety hit you in the middle of the talk and you feel like your brain is empty. It also helps if you have a message instead of memorized sentences one after another - try to build your speech around one single message.
If you present yourself in a foreign language the practice also helps finding the correct words and expressions.

It also helps if you image your audience naked.

The anxiety will maybe never go away but it can be familiar enough to become something you can always handle.

And remember - the only time a man can be brave is when he is afraid.

It's not just small businesses. The serious effort to fullfil this legislation and the constant threat that you still don't is simply too much for small non-profit organizations and personal websites. A lot of one person blogs that are inactive but a valueable source of information have been taken down because of that.

I also stopped hosting demos of my side-projects (just for github or cv links), because following this law for this kind of service is just unreasonable. And I do not even have to cause any kind of harm to be fineable in Germany.
Sigh, you don't get it, do you?

In software, if you want to skirt the law, its easy to do so with small team/companies. Just spin up shell companies under the limit and use that to skirt the law.

There's going to be a tipping point in the near future. When autonomous vehicles reach a big enough share of miles driven, there's going to be a snowball effect. All of our roads and infrastructure are built for human drivers. Robot-only roads could far cheaper and more efficient. No more signs or lights. No more lanes. Not even partitions. You can dynamically adjust your 8-lane freeway to be 6 lanes one way and 2 the other and flip it morning and evening.

Once the tech is proven and accepted by enough people, it will become mandatory and we're going to rebuild everything with a much smaller footprint.

If I advertise a job in a church newsletter am I screening out Jews, Muslims, and atheists?

How about a job in a predominantly black newspaper, am I screening out Latino candidates?

How about a job ad in a predominantly lesbian one, is that screening straight men?

What about one in a youth newsletter or Facebook demographically targeted ad, is that screening out old people?

I’d argue intent is what matters. If the goal is to reach a demographic you think will have fine candidates then proceed. If it’s purely exclusionary to circumvent labor laws because you’re avoiding someone else then it’s a problem.

The analysis for this should not be at the inbound funnel, but instead at the net result based on the received candidate pool. That’s where you can see whether an actual bias exists.
The even more ridiculous thing in my opinion is comments like this that conflate a truth and proof of that truth. It’s the difference between saying that every even number greater than 5 is the sum of two primes, and being able to prove it.
Significantly simplified:

BGP4, which is one of the fundamental building blocks of the global Internet, relies on trust between BGP peers. ISP A says to ISP B, their peer, "hey I'm responsible for this chunk of publicly routable IP space, please send all traffic to ASN number N for this particular block".

This works as long as everyone configures their IP space announcements and prefix-list filters correctly.

A lot of less clueful ISPs in the world do not verify the IP space announced to them by their peers (BCP38 is your friend!). This results in things like the time that a telecom in Pakistan hijacked the IP space for most of Youtube about ten years ago and successfully DDoSed themselves, while also causing a major youtube outage.

https://www.google.com/search?q=pakistan+bgp+hijack+youtube&...

This will keep happening until various ISP peers properly implement prefix-list filtering, ACLs on their edge BGP connections, and verifying peer announcements via things like various route registries.
To support a certain bandwidth on a switch you need big enough buffers. Bandwidth delay product is what you want - latency * bandwidth, you need a buffer of at least that size to support throughput in the system. Multiply that by the number of ports to support concurrent bandwidth. The toughswitches were engineered with very small buffers, such that they couldn't even support reasonable bandwidth on a LAN with low latency.
Startups aren’t going to change. The goal should be to marginalize their influence and effects on tech hiring. They are simply not important enough (by hiring volume) to carry the weight they currently do.

And gives you explicit warnings not to lie about it. And limits the total number of times you can change it (so you'd better hope you lied when you signed up 5 or 10 years ago).

Facebook is not real big on the 'ol anonymity.

In practice they can't really stop you from lying, but just telling people not to lie and making the question sound serious can often be enough to stop the average person. I suspect most people put in their correct age.

Odds are also pretty good your friends are going to mention your age at some point while wishing you Happy Birthday. If Facebook's data collection is smart enough it could decide to trust them over you. I kind of doubt that it is smart enough to do that right now, but it probably wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to do if people started commonly lying.
For me, main problem is not the compliance itself, but the legal part of it. If GDPR had clearly stated it ok to dismiss all these "nightmare letters" unless they come a set of official emails that handle it, and if/when such official letters come it would only be required from me to point to my legal pages and/or give access to the code/db to show I'm compliant, it would all be a-okay.
This argument is disturbing for two reasons

1) You claim that GDPR has a big administrative burden to small businesses but that's not the case as long as your business model is not based on invasion of privacy. If it is, well, tough life!

2) It devalues the individual, it's ridiculous. Small restaurants need to follow hygiene standards just as the big chains, despite the fact that your local burger shop won't cause health problems on the same scale of McDonald's. Do you know why? Because individuals matter too. Can't be bothered to clean your kitchen? Don't run a restaurant. Can't be bothered to take care of your visitor's data? Don't run an online business. The society or any individual doesn't owe you a profit or a business.
I don't like pFsense because it's difficult to automate and lacks bufferbloat AQM. I use ansible checked into source code - it's easy to rebuild and tweak, and works great. And with Linux you get access to fq_codel and cake. These are easy to setup and work extremely well, with 1-5ms bufferbloat even under throughput saturation. I couldn't manage to get anything similar in pfsense's QoS.

Why is there a belief in this industry that working more hours == productivity? Arguably a more experienced developer could do the same work (if not better) in less hours. The right to not work 12 hours a Day shouldnt be something that is earned with age. If a team is consistently required to put in unreasonably long hours it’s either due to being understaffed or poor planning. Both are a recipe for disaster...
Right word. A world where you may have no privacy and must choose how it is sold (directly, indirectly) is insidious.
I don't think this is true -- most of the Ivys have entire schools dedicated to older 'nontraditional' students (see, for example, the Columbia University School of General Studies), and Google/Facebook/etc recruit quite heavily from the Ivys.

The article completely skips over the fact that adults just don't have enough time. Children don't have to raise children, go get their car fixed, mow the lawn. They are bombarded with native language at home, at school, while playing with friends. They could not not learn the language even if they wanted to. Whereas for adults, they are not bombarded with the language unless they move countries to be in an immersive environment. In a non-immersive environment you need to dedicate time to learn the language which is a fraction of the time children are exposed to while learning mother tongue.

Heroku vs. Amazon Web Services – Which Cloud Platform to Choose
Security consultancies will usually do whatever the client asks for, or try and cater exactly for their needs. This may result in either a white box attack or black box.

Usually the test will be done at a fixed price, with a fixed scope (What they are/aren't allowed to test). The result of this will usually be a report detailing the vulns, along with reccommended fixes/remediations and sometimes a 'post-fix test' to check if the company has successfully remediated the issues.

White box testing tends to look at the system/application from an internal-looking out perspective, whereas black box is an outside-in view. Benefits to whitebox being a very thorough assesment of the system but this will be time-consuming and expensive. Blackbox on the otherhand can simulate the likely attacks from an adversarie and sometimes be relatively quick dependent on the systems attack surface.

Hope this helps.
> In EU it's impossible for a truck driver to speed

Basically, the bigger Chinese ISPs that are upstream of this small one which is making the false 1.1.1.0/24 announcement are not actually verifying that this small ISP is allowed to announce the space.

As for prevention, the only thing that will work is proper use of IRR/route registries and RPKI validation of peer announcements. Which a great many ISPs do not currently do.

https://www.noction.com/blog/bgp-hijacking

The other method is more blunt, and can be more effective if the people with 'enable' on various ASNs' core and edge routers actually have a spine. ISPs which repeatedly announce space that they're not allocated (as per RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, AFRINIC records) should be depeered by their local peers, and their owners/operators publicly shamed. It's a reputation thing. As a neighbor of other, more clueful ISPs, it's basically the same thing as being a bad neighbor by leaving garbage all over your front lawn and causing a public nuisance with loud parties and trashy behavior.

I don't know, but I do know that there are plenty of developers out there that would probably have a lot of trouble adequately responding to these kinds of requests.

Rational, yes; fair, no.

Group differences are real, and burying or ignoring that truth is doomed to failure, since it is obvious. However, we have a moral responsibility to evaluate every person as an individual - to give each the benefit of the doubt, regardless of how people who look like them tend to behave.

I myself think this is a two way street. If you belong to a group with a particular characteristic and you're an exception, you may need to make an effort to make that explicit - with a statement, via behavior, via dress. And it is not evil when people make assumptions about you; it's understandable. At the same time, we should try to be fair to everyone, to keep in mind that exceptions exist to every rule, and to allow others to change our first perceptions of them easily. I think this approach walks the line between truth and justice, though I am certainly open to hearing a better strategy.
