This is a fairly reasonable explanation, that is somewhat marred by two things.

First, the suggestion to demonstrate non-canonical input mode with the stty command will not work for many people. Many shells that have command-line editing save and restore the termios settings before and after reading each line of interactive input. Run stty raw and stty sane from the Z shell, for example, and nothing at all will apparently change when typing input to ZLE. The same goes for the Bourne Again shell and Readline.

Second, it keeps talking about a "local PTY device". The local end has a terminal, but that is not necessarily a pseudo terminal. It could be a real terminal, or a kernel virtual terminal.
Part of that is because consent is only one of the 6 ways to claim compliance for data processing, and is not always the appropriate way to be compliant. In fact, most people who are using the word "consent" are wildly misinterpreting the GDPR, using "consent" as a catchall term, when in fact the GDPR takes a far narrower view.

The legal basis that is probably FAR more important but isn't being talked about is the contractual basis, and there are two. When I say people are overusing "consent", I mean that entering into a contract requires ~consent~ in loose everyday conversation, but is actually not "consent" for the purposes of the GDPR - its a contract.

Because of the difference between the loose meanings in everyday conversation and the (slightly) more precise definitions in the GDPR, you are seeing a LOT of articles push back on using the consent basis for compliance because what you are actually talking about, in GDPR terms, is a contractual basis, or a "legitimate use" basis attached to a contractual basis.

Most online businesses view their Terms of Service as establishing a contract. Therefore, no "consent" required because you using their website is a contract, even though in loose conversation you would say that you ~consented~ to enter that contract.

The document you posted is consistent in trying to hammer home the distinction. Read this excerpt:

> The ‘consent’ is a condition of service

If you require someone to agree to processing as a condition of service, consent is unlikely to be the most appropriate lawful basis for the processing. In some circumstances it won’t even count as valid consent.

Instead, if you believe the processing is necessary for the service, the better lawful basis for processing is more likely to be that the “processing
is necessary for the performance of a contract” under Article 6(1)(b). You are only likely to need to rely on consent if required to do so under another provision, such as for electronic marketing.

It may be that the processing is a condition of service but is not actually necessary for that service. If so, consent is not just inappropriate as a lawful basis, but presumed to be invalid as it is not freely given. In these circumstances, you would usually need to consider ‘legitimate interests’ under Article 6(1)(f) as your lawful basis for processing instead.

For 20 minutes on the morning of May 1, Facebook users saw a curious query at the end of every update on their feeds. “Does this post contain hate speech?” they were asked, in small font next to “yes” and “no” buttons.

I once believed this ultra basic, explicit supervised reinforcement learning query system would be the future of user interfaces and AI. That if you asked people to close the loop in a learning system, some number of them would give good feedback and you could make an increasingly better decision loop.

What early tests like these seem to prove, and maybe I'm being pessimistic, is that people generally don't want to help make systems better (with "better" defined loosely). Even if they do want to help, users either can't differentiate their own perception or the interface doesn't give clear enough directions.

It seems to boil down to users and the companies not being explicitly value aligned. Or rather, when they need to take an action which reveals an explicit value proposition, the user responds to the emotional/signaling request with noise, rather than data. As a result the users don't take it seriously and so they break the system. It seems to be built into humans to reject the concept of providing explicit value input (aka voting on if something is good or not) into a system that you haven't been totally indoctrinated into - like voting for politicians. I would also guess that it being tied to your person makes that even less likely to happen.
I have a hard time seeing any justification for your view. Why would you own data about yourself? Do you own your name? Do you own the fact that you went to taco bell for dinner last night? Can you sue someone else for knowing you went to taco bell last night? Should it be a crime for someone who knows your name to tell someone else your name? What if they do it for money?

"Owning" data about yourself is a very strange concept to me.
No. Your assumption that I'm saying that is, frankly, ridiculous. If you're being blinded, put the sunglasses on and turn Autopilot off. Of course, I doubt that eye-tracking works particularly well if you're squinting and averting your eyes anyway: the act of being attentive precludes being blinded in itself.
The rational approach to legislation is to make a (timely) effort to comply.

When you're told the highway near your house has a new speedlimit you can either obey the speed limit, use a detour (which will still be slower on account of it being longer) or you can take your car off the road in huff.

The first one is the only solution that makes sense.
A cash-free business:

1.) have a terminal that supports all the different card types

2.) guard the IT infrastructure according to the PCI rules (have you ever needed to implement those, especially for small shop owners with no IT know-how)

3.) every day/week/month accounting of the payments to the corresponding receipts

4.) hope that the customer doesn't initiate a reimbursement

5.) if not 4) --> accounting nightmare + loss of the reimbursed money

6.) spending weekends (small business) for the required IT infrastructure

> What you get instead is untargeted ads, like ads for cars, potato chips, and shampoo, just like on TV. Personally I find those to be a lot more annoying.

I'm genuinely curious: what's so much more annoying to you about untargeted ads? I've never found targeting to be effective at showing me ads that were genuinely better or less annoying.

I feel more comfortable with untargeted ads, since I can be much more confident nothing truly sneaky is going on, especially technology ever gets good enough to reliably manipulate me to buy more now.

> any application can be made correctly with READ COMMITTED isolation if required set of "mutexes" and their acquire/release is correctly implemented

This is true, but it's "a big if." And the result might be faster than a good implementation of serializable isolation (since the latter is working to maintain some invariants that you don't actually care about), but it could easily be much slower: very broad invariants will require very broad locks which cause much more "serialization" than is required for serializability.

Let's say you want the same sum invariant but across rows: all users' balances must sum to zero. The straightforward application of your reduction is to essentially have a global mutex for all balance transactions, but this is nowhere near the most scalable solution. Whereas a good serializable database will handle this situation scalably, safely, and automatically.
So where is the evidence of the accords? How will they enforce it?

What still puzzles me then is why they didn't keep throwing. Did they really only have one product hypothesis that they thought was worthwhile? What lesson did they learn about phones here that was enough to kill the business? And did they really have to spend $100m to learn whatever that was?

True. Also:

- Web. Google AMP. Use it or get lost in search results.

- Android. Try make a phone with open source Android without Google apps and licensing.
One of the most common interpretation I've heard is that IP address is PII according to GDPR. Even if not combined with other PII.

So based on this description they are doing PII.
I think it's rather significantly different. The range of inputs to a function in Scala are Some[T], None, and null, whereas in Kotlin they become T and null. Kotlin also uses annotations that exist in libraries--and it understands a lot of them--to turn T! into T or T? directly when it can, which Scala doesn't.

Can you explain how this is so similar to Scala in a way that leaves it up to you to be contemptuous and spit stuff like "nonsense" at people looking to discuss the topic in good faith?

BSD's ifconfig isn't really related to Linux's ifconfig anymore because BSD has continued development and the Linux fork or version (don't remember which it is anymore) hasn't.

Linux's ifconfig is a part of net-tools (http://net-tools.sourceforge.net/) and the latest release of net-tools, v1.6, was released in April 2001. It's been unmaintained for over 17 years. Some distros began deprecating ifconfig when the Linux 2.2 kernel was released because it lacked features. The Linux ifconfig command doesn't support wireless network devices because they essentially didn't exists when the the command was written. Shit's old.

It's like comparing Seamonkey to Netscape Communicator.
If they make it very difficult to say no to extra processing (more than is required for the core business) that comes very close to coercion. Once the storm of US companies not complying (and let's be honest, the big corporations are currently not compliant in the least) and being fined has died down I can't imagine the regulatory bodies will not go after this kind of behaviour.

Genuine question that might result in some interesting discussion.

Is giving money to causes today, the best strategy?

Would it be better to amass wealth in your own name, and then deploy it more strategically later in life?

This has the added advantage of the potential to self-fund an endeavor that might do good and increase your capacity to give down the line?

If you trust yourself not to fall into greed as you grow older, what’s the downside of this, besides missing out on some tax breaks?

I guess the real answer is why not both.

> came to consumer-facing technology

I don't think this is true. There is a lot of consumer facing technology - but not so much in the form of Internet companies.

Cars are full with consumer facing electronics&services and the companies are now similar to 'tech' companies. See Audi, BMW, Mercedes, ... There are few consumer facing things more advanced than for example an S-Class Mercedes.

Innovation happens in many places - not just in big companies.

The Mittelstand has 1000+ so-called hidden champions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_champions

What Germany lacks are huge Internet companies - but it's not the general lack of innovation, but the scale of the home market&language. The EU market is larger, but there is still the language barrier - the whole EU has the same problem.

Plus keep in mind that Germany is just 1/4 of the US in terms of people - but in terms of exports its not that far behind and a lot of that is high-tech, where it makes a lot of money. For example Porsche is probably the most profitable car manufacturer in the world. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-4331194/Pors...
I don't think they 'll manage to convince anyone that maximum profit can be a legitimate reason - at least not in the current climate. They can claim however that, since facebook's business is selling targeted ads (which is truly their source of revenue), their system simply needs user's data to work.

I believe that facebook DID ask about permission with its terms pop-up that i saw on the web. In any case however, any complaint against facebook will be judged emotionally at this time, so the details may matter less.
Personal opinion:
More developer muscle behind Kubernetes as well as significantly more funding.
I, and I believe most of the world too, would be perfectly fine with Facebook valuation of say 1 billion $. Then you don't need so much income to sustain/be profitable. I mean it's basically the same website as before, just few smaller services and Oculus. They do scale a lot (with years of painful basic technical errors), but then again its just overengineered single page of news feed.

The whole valuation is on data spied or voluntarily given up from users

Decades ago when I was in school, East Germany's "polytechnical" 10 year elementary school they sent me to "Mathe-Olympiaden" (at least county-level math contests) and to after-school math courses because they thought I had talent. Maybe I did, but when I saw the tasks they gave us, and when I saw how the others solved it I simply stopped caring and just wasted time. We got a nice food bag with sweets and the day off school, that was good enough for me.

For example, loooong before we ever heard anything about this mathematical field, and this was way before the Internet so unless somebody tells you about something you have no chance of having heard about it as a young kid, we got a combinatorics question. Everybody in the room started writing down every single combination - which is why I knew what they were doing, neat columns and rows filling several pages that could only have been for this particular problem, and I had almost started doing the same. I thought it was WAY beyond silly that I should spend my time on this problem. I knew how to solve it in this simple fashion, there was no chance to come up with the real solution on the spot, so I switched to "annoyed" mode and gave up.

The after-hours math club wasn't much better, nothing deep or substantial, just some riddles.

TODAY I'd just go to Khan Academy, edX, Coursera and ignore my teachers. The Internet is great. Oh and cat pictures.

Haha thats what my Physical Therapist wife said. I agree, where would I find these details on the website? I searched the documentation and even github but it was overwhelming.

Btw, good suggestion on doing a backup BEFORE the change.

Test environment sounds good as well. I have a hard time justifying the time cost. That said, this should be something that any decent programmer does casually.
Is that what they are saying though? I'm not reading it as 'small teams can't comply'. I'm reading it as if you comply, you will make less money advertising, and that affects the dynamics in a social app.

If you have to charge money, your chance to overcome the network effect of FB or an established site is difficult, because en masse migration of users to a new service typically goes hand in hand with that new service being offered freely.

Conversely if you don't charge money, your ability to fund the development of a competitor is based on reduced ad income since you can't offer targeted ads, which is going to shorten your runway by a significant amount.

These two things seem to indicate that the likelihood of building something that replaces one of the existing social services goes down. I don't think it makes it impossible, but the law seems to make it less likely that the social app incumbents get replaced (if that was at all possible).

As far as those in other regulated fields having done this for some time, I can't think of many regulated fields where the network effect is so high as social apps, so it is probably a bit apples to oranges. Presumably it is not as large a deal in those markets where social network dynamic is not as strong.

You can install android apps or chrome extensions from any source, not just the Google-managed store.

This sounds minor, but its absolutely a major reason why the stores aren't monopolies. I find it startling how few people on HN remember the fact that stores have a right to decide what they want to sell and not. We don't live in communist Russia. Walmart doesn't have to sell Whole Foods-branded food, H&M doesn't have to sell Mossimo clothes, Amazon doesn't have to sell Nest thermostats, Apple doesn't have to sell Pixel devices in their stores, and Google doesn't have to sell Adblocking software.

In every single one of these cases, its because the companies managing the stores have a business interest against selling the items.

Apple's case is different in a significant way. When they block a product from their store, they establish that none of the users on their systems are able to get the item legally. However, they can still use the argument that iOS is only one platform among any mobile platforms, they don't have a massive marketshare, and they aren't taking any actions in the realm of mobile platform adoption which could be construed as hostile against competition.
Does this disable Facebook's data hoovering about you?

I wouldn't think so.
There's some interesting developments in that area, on the one side about leaving warnings at nuclear waste sites (which probably won't work, archeologists were warned about death and curses and such and still went into Tutanchamun's tomb. IIRC some died from a mold spore active in there), on the other about preserving knowledge for the ages (e.g. sapphire disks, 3d / holographic storage). I don't feel like there's a working solution yet, or at least not a high-tech one - chipping out a granite block and keeping it relatively shielded from the weather still seems like the safest bet.
