The internet doesn't know, but e-commerce/data business pretty darn well knows where their customers/users are situated.

The old web was mostly static websites. We spoke of visitors. The new web is app-ified/interactive, walled off to logged-in agreement-abiding geolocated users, and even a single logged-out "visit" broadcasts this to 100s of trackers who will remember your every move online.
KFJC achieves more consistency with its music shows, whereas KZSU is more of a grab-bag. Music shows that fill certain niches, experimental talk programs, and other things like sports broadcasts.

It's certain not to give someone a consistent sound that they'll like, but it usually puts out interesting stuff.
The other option - if you have no business presence in Europe - is to ignore it. It's never concerned that I'm likely breaking the laws of North Korea every day, for example.

It's because your intuition is on a human scales. White dwarfs apparently have a density near 1 tonne/cubic centimeter and consist of plasma which only runs analogous to fluids so far before the analogy breaks down.

One difference is that plasma will have mobile charge carriers likely imparting something similar to a London dispersion force if there's any charge directionality in the super nova blast wave. What likely has the most impact though is the density and gravity that holds the object together in a way fluid droplets on earth do not.

I for one love the fact that companies I dealt with once who knows how many years ago are begging me to click a link to "keep in touch." Good bloody riddance. This is possibly the best privacy news of the Internet age.
I suspect that tech could do a better job at building it.
It's not the same. There're companies which intentionally collect and exploit private data. There're companies which are just behaving negligently with users data. There should be different penalty for intentional and negligent violation.
Post process the bloody logfile on a regular basis. You can legitimately capture IPs etc for a while, provided that it is for a good reason - fixing a problem, or gathering aggregate trends but not for direct marketing reasons against individuals who have not given consent. So, your logrotate.d/ might get a few post/pre rotate scripts, if it really bothers you.

I run a small UK based IT firm. So far I've turned down some of the logging on my HA Proxy instances and stopped logging IPs and user agents in general and a few other things. If I need to do some diags then I'll turn them on again. That's on the long term stored logs (due to backups). So far, my backups are smaller 8)

I do keep very detailed logs with IPs (actually full packet capture) in the ES cluster for IDS purposes but those are turned over (deleted) within a few hours. Less detailed logs last a lot longer.
Waste water treatment doesn't remove drugs, so they make it out into the water, and the filter feeders pick it up.

Traditional TV doesn't have the strict time slot problem either. Ratings are counted as day+3 - meaning live + 3 days on demand.
First of all "insignificant" is far fetched. Small? Yes. But not insignificant.

Second... I don't see how valuation matters. Did they loose money? Went out of business? No. VW lost valuation during the whole diesel gate scandal. Did that make VW a less relevant? No.

And the last thing that I wanted to mention: I said "this is just an implementation of an old French law into the European Level". And I was mentioning the French law itself, not the European Law.

The cookie issue that you're mentioning is related to the ePrivacy directive, which is solely European Law, that was passed one or two years before the whole lost of valuation. My point was just that the GDPR doesn't affect anybody.
yes. Ayn Rand and Jordan Peterson.
There's one very important problem with this approach: this blocks people from accessing your site who are doing so from the EU, whereas the GDPR applies to EU citizens, wherever they access the Internet from.

In other words, an EU citizen residing in and accessing the Internet from the US has just as much right to invoke the GDPR with these sites as an EU citizen residing in and accessing the Internet from the EU. Blocking people accessing your site from the EU does not allow your site to not respond to such requests.

We should at least prioritize the things we actually need. A fifth of what's been spent on the high speed rail line could go a long way to upgrade California's water infrastructure.
I think the response from European citizens on hackernews has been disappointing. I see many refuse to accept any of the negatives of GDP
I'd love a browser plugin that indicates a site I'm visiting is blocked in the EU. I'm not in the EU, but if I site cares that little about my privacy that they don't want to comply with GDPR then I don't want to use it. I might just start browsing through a VPN terminating in the EU anyway.
Normally the majority will not support a public transportation project simply because the majority can not use it.
I occasionally wonder about whether there are any objects out there traveling at a measurable fraction of c, could something even get through the atmosphere without disintegrating near those speeds?
But they still process European user data if they do not block my IP. So they are not complying at all with GDPR's main requirement, just a poorly singled-out subclause.
Correct, there is no freeway that passes through those impassable mountains. /s
@ChuckMcM - I always enjoy your comments, thank you for the perspective you bring to HN.

I've seen the argument you present used frequently, and I can understand where it is accurate in many markets.

In Seattle, a very similar argument is being made as a cure for the lack of affordable housing -- greater density of construction will lower costs through greater housing supply.

What I see happening in actuality though is that one house that would have fetched ~$900,000 today (and maybe $400,000 just a few years ago, post-recession) is torn down, and four condos put up in the same footprint. Ok - so supply increased, right? Not exactly, because if each unit is priced at ~$700,000, it's still above affordability for most people. So then those units get swallowed up by speculators and investors, the same as what's happened NY, Paris, London, and Vancouver.

I also recall in Seattle there is some building regulation where new apartment buildings get a tax rebate or some similar incentive that lasts 5 years - and then after that the units get converted to condos (or maybe its the other way around). In any event - my point is that there can be a lot of shenanigans that get in the way of the market.
It means that in that case I have to provide my client with a data processing agreement and handle data accordingly.

Basically, it means that what's been best practice all along is made explicit. So, in most case this doesn't affect the actual workflow all that much.

However, in the past occasionally clients could be quite liberal in handing out access to their production data. GDPR definitely has raised awareness that this isn't something to be taken lightly.
A fun fact that a friend of mine shared is that there are trace amounts of sucralose in our water supply. It turns out that inert sweeteners that are not digested just get excreted, and since it's not a molecule found in nature they don't break down quickly.
Even if you charge EU customers for goods and services, you end up having to collect and store personal information in order to provide evidence to tax authorities that you collected and paid the right amount of VAT for each country.
I would argue that there's value in collaboration between innovators and an experienced group of civil engineering contractors operating under an accountable and transparent consortium arrangement.

Facebook is most definitely American even if their European subsidiary is based in Ireland. That is all moot under the law anyways, as they consider global revenue of any parent company, not just that of the subsidiary.
Because the house is worth less than the loan... you don’t have to go bankrupt to default on non-recourse home loans as far as I know.
There are thousands of laws on the books where nothing happens when you ignore them. Sure it is possible that the EU will pick some obscure small company doing boring business things outside of the EU to make a test case out of, but how likely is this?

Anyone not up to shady activity can afford to wait for the case law and best practices to settle before doing anything.
>Less targeted ads are exactly what we need. That's what the regulation aims for!

I have nothing against targeted ads. I am against targeting ads and collecting/distributing my data without my explicit consent. E.g. mobile companies selling my real time location because there's some obscure sentence in their 90 page terms of service.
I wanted to add a bit of positivity and mention that I'm really liking how the black project is approaching problems. For example, a few people brought up fluent interfaces[0] as an issue. There were many opinions about the right and wrong thing to do, but discussion got to a very pragmatic decision I feel.

Then there were requests to add command line arguments specifically so that tools could integrate with black that were added almost immediately.

Congrats on gaining so much traction so quickly, and thanks for listening to users (when it makes sense).

We've had the same problem here in Iceland over the past 3 years, and it's only getting worse. We (the locals) call them "toilet paper tourists". It's a classic example of what economists call ´externalities´; i.e. great for the camper van companies (they make "shitloads" of money, pun not intended), great for the toilet paper tourists, who have a vacation on the cheap, but the cost is dumped (again, not intended) onto innocent 3rd parties in the form of degraded environment and diminished experiences. Oh, and good for importers of pot noodles and cat food.

I looked at it with an EU proxy, it gives you the choice to either consent or go to the text-only version.
People think of California as one of the bluest blue states, but it's very far from homogeneous. The LA metro area, for example, contains several affluent and strongly Republican communities, which means that if you poll educated/affluent/traditional-news-reading people in that area you're going to get results that lean more conservative than what people often expect (and Republicans/conservatives in the US are generally against public transit and public-works projects).

You can get the same thing in the Bay area if you poll in the right places. See Atherton's lawsuits to try to stop Caltrain electrification, for example.
That seems unlikely, given that we waste ~40% of all food produced (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_waste#Global_extent). I think distribution is a bigger issue than production methods.

And that discounts any Black Swans lying in wait from transgenic organisms; we may still yet have a disaster, since GMOs don't yet have same track record as pre-industrial agriculture. OTOH, industrial agriculture has been pretty awful, so maybe GMOs are a step up from THAT...
So many left-wing people are convinced that if it weren't for those meddling russians the status quo would remain. It's mind boggling. Foreign powers have attempted to sway elections before and they will do so in the future.

In a way it very much reminds me of Germanys 'stabbed in the back' conspiracy theories at the end of WWI. Any rationalisation to avoid the cold, hard truth.

I'd bet money on two terms for trump at this point. The left has learned nothing from this.

"Pollute everybody's attention as much as you can, since occasionally you might say something useful"

It's the ego-centered approach to publishing, maximizing your returns, at a large cost to the commons. (If everybody follows that advice, the Internet will be a smouldering garbage heap. Wait, they do, and it is)

I'd much rather all of us focused on publishing something that has an actual chance of being useful. Be picky. Respect other people's time and attention.

And as a reader, choose authors that have proven to respect your time. (Or, alternatively, have others pre-filter the garbage stream for the jewels)
I guess that too little competition means that progress has to give in to the business side of things.
Such a shame that Tabula closed down. They had some of the most interesting tech -- hopefully someone is able to pick it up someday. As someone who works with FPGAs, I think a solution like theirs is the only way FPGAs will become mainstream.
The tangent vectors at each point in the 2d flat plane are always positive, while those in the flat 3d (Lorentzian) spacetime can be negative, null, or positive. By extension curves can also be classified when the tangent vectors at every point along them are all negative, all null, or all positive. You can't have a negative or null curve in the 2d flat plane, but you can in 3d flat spacetime; likewise, you can't have a negative or null curve in the 3d Euclidean space, but you can in 4d Minkowski spacetime.

Strictly speaking, "time" in "spacetime" is superfluous, but it's often useful in physics to distinguish between a generic space and a Lorentzian spacetime -- for example, one frequently decomposes a spacetime into a set of spaces (e.g. in the Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity) where each space is treated as having evolved causally from its neighbour. Maybe the choice of "time" in spacetime (and "timelike" for negative curves) is just physics chauvinism rather than something deeper, but if so does it really matter?

I think you know the following, but for anyone else reading, "time" is tacked on to "space" giving spacetime much the same way that the differently-signed dimension is tacked on to the line element. In Cartesian coordinates, with mostly-plus eigenvalue signs, for flat space --> flat spacetime:

dx^2 + dy^2 --> dx^2 + dy^2 - c^2 dt^2

dx^2 + dt^2 + dz^2 --> dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2 - c^2 dt^2

where c is some arbitrary constant, and x, y, z, and t are the labelled orthogonal axes. The line element between two arbitrarily close points in the space cases will be positive, but in the spacetime cases can be positive, null, or negative.

There is enormous freedom to use different systems of coordinates and different slicings, but there's no escaping a change in sign and constant factor for one of the components of the line element in a (Lorentzian) spacetime of dimension n > 1 compared to the components of the line element in an n-1 dimensioned spacelike slice of it.

You need (separate) consent to process their personal data for targeted in-house advertising. Thats what facebook/reddit do. If you pass user personalization data to others (such as that they are interested in children) it's the same thing as having personalized tracking ads, you need consent again (and an agreement with that third party).

Ghostery sends GDPR announcement to users using TO: Field (facepalm)
It's open source software created by a volunteer. Using the latest version of Python lets me leverage features which help me focus on the problem at hand. f-strings, pathlib integration, the latest typing module, and so on.

This is the upper middle class robbing poor people. The projected fare would be $86 per ticket, about triple the cost of driving for a family of four. The people who are going to pay that are upper middle class travelers and business travelers. Which would be fine if the project was paying for itself, but it won’t be. It’ll be state subsidies for high income professionals. That money could be doing so much good (schools, public transit for lower income people, etc.).

For example, the $100+ billion this will eventually cost could create a fund that would perpetually pay (with inflation increases) about $1,200 to every low-income K-12 student in the State.

Not at all. I'm working in Germany. The GDPR is basically the same as the Datenschutzgesetzt, which is the German law.

The only difference is that we will have higher fine if we don't comply. And we have had an external Data Protection Officer for a long time already.
Exactly. It's possible to criticise what the EU are doing without thinking the United States does everything right - or even that it does it better.

Disappointing to see so many EU apologists defaulting to whataboutism.
I think there are a number of comments being made throughout this whole thread that are conflating the effort required to comply with the best security practices to protect user data, compared to the effort required to comply with the language of GDPR. A general theme seems to be that if a company is afraid to do the latter, they must not be willing to do the former.

Which brings up a question, is the complexity of building and offering a GDPR-compliant solution really any different than building a solution that conforms to best security practices? I wouldn't think there is much difference. What is the remaining overhead to comply with GDPR? I am sure just understanding it is a notable piece, but would the developers already be aware of all CWEs, BCPs, existing laws and standards for their components which would also be overhead?
Is it reasonable to attribute ignorance of laws on another continent with stupidity?

Especially for remote first teams, standups are as much a social connection as an accountability, information sharing and blocker highlighting opportunity. I'm a huge fan of synchronous standups and really like zoom to get the added connection of video and audio with "async standup checkins" being the exception case if someone is at the doctors or whatever. All of this assumes a team with at least some timezone overlap.

And millions of people suiciding extra in the world annually.

I could argue that they are emotionally-socially less developed and they use cognition to evade dealing/accepting the feels.

They also are behind on establishing relationships with other governments/cultures relative to their economical and technological status.

Their population growth is also very low and close to declining, not enough people wanting kids.

If you think your world is beautifull, then why suicide, why not want to share it with kids.

Objectively one might argue it puts a hard stop to nature itself, as it's the base for human life to even exist.

That doesn't seem natural (no pun)

While we might not like open display of emotions and such, the underlying function is releasing (negative)emotions/energy. It's the people who keep it all in that tend to end up in a less than desirable place.

In the west a lot of suicidal/depressed people have been helped succesfully through dealing openly with emotions. "Self imposed" cognitive restrictions and trying to hide emotions are often at the base of unhappiness or the aforementioned scenarios.
