If you mean a static salt, that could help mitigate against hacks (if the attacker has access to the database but not the code), but where adtech is concerned it's probably more realistic to assume that the datasets they're using were disclosed willingly. If you mean using a different salt for each address, that could work for some use cases, but it wouldn't work for the use case described in the blog post, since Touch Surgery needs to be able to lookup whether a given address is in the database (to see whether they've previously declined an invitation).

A good time capsule.
> Bosch, Miele, Siemens...

These are "tech companies" the same way General Electric or Maytag or KitchenAid are tech companies. They're not, at least going by the standard definition. I suppose it's possible the definitions differ specifically because Germany has few significant tech companies of the software-and-services variety.

> calling an entire country backwards

I never did this. I said Germany was specifically backwards when it came to consumer-facing technology, not that Germany was backwards in general. You seem to be reading in my comments what you want to see there.

And I used more examples than just the cash-only bit, and I have plenty to spare. The average UX for German websites and apps, for example, is significantly behind the US standard, from what I've seen. Although of course this is a generalization, there's tons of individual variance.
This is not curated and only covers patent cases, but might be useful to you:

it's more a thing in B2B scenarios, and the question is "what benefit do you get from it" that the seller is willing to grant you? For software/libraries you deeply integrate with your software it makes sense for better debugging, or sometimes customization - although for the latter many companies would prefer you pay them for it. An example where it's relatively common is game engines. High complexity, and customization requires deep knowledge of what the customer does.

The incentive would always be to intentionally ignore and violate patents then, as you'd be guaranteed to profit from doing so (even in the rare case that you are caught and convicted, you'd pay a maximum of the amount you benefitted from it). Punitive damages try to make that expected value negative - it makes sense.

While this article makes a case for the new command, the reality is simple. I personally learned ifconfig continually in my life and so I learned how to read it and interpret what it was trying to say. It output its commands in a fairly easy to parse way. The new command, while I am sure is progressive and forward thinking, feels clunky. I often have to try to remember the name of the command itself as it is not obvious. It is a good example of a command not really doing the function of making the job easier on the network admin in favor of accommodating new conceptions of features. All the thousands of hours I spent on ifconfig are, basically, useless unless I want to be antiquated and have useless debates about standards. Basically, I just want the computer to do what I tell it with as little extra trouble as possible.
A Simple Go Package to Query Over JSON Data
> I would be extremely surprised if the EU goes through all this tome, effort, and money just to let corporations continue with business as usual

I wouldn't. EU is all about bureaucracy and hordes of civil servants doing meaningless jobs. If GDPR becomes fruitless like Cookie Law, then they'll say tough luck, hire more civil servants and start working on another useless law.
The need for keyword escaping is entering meatspace.
Hmm, not for everything, apparently. It works with "-json addr" or "-json link", but not with eg. "-json route" or most other things i've tried.
In many cases it will identify a person. I have two email addresses, a personal one and a home one, and I don't use any others. In my case this absolutely will identify me, and I would argue that in the vast majority of case this will be true as well. You're unusual relative to the general population in using distribution list addresses, and they have to start somewhere. I would also argue that this is exactly the piece of information that is most commonly used to merge datasets, and that's probably why the legislation includes it.
Oh, one thing important to note that people might forget/ignore: this is just the beginning. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect

A lot of countries look up to the EU, have trade agreements with it. Unless the GDPR totally falls flat on its face (unlikely), more and more countries will realize the benefits of this kind of legislation.

Also the GDPR will act as an icebreaker and it will "soften up" company stance on this matter. As a result it will be easier for the second line of countries adopting such laws to demand things from companies.

I'd say: get used to it. It's not going away, it's not going to become easier to use and sell personal data.
The EU is eager to "clean the clocks" of these big liberal, privacy destroying California based megaliths. Go Max go.

If you post content on the web without using a paywall, then people aren't "freeloading" or stealing your content. Just as I don't have to read every word on a website, nor do I have to view every add, run every piece of code, and let myself be tracked. Don't like that? Don't run a website/service without a paywall.
I'm not saying the marketing is cool. Although your example is fundamentally different since in the "Autopilot" case, you're not just dealing with your own safety, but the safety of others.

Since I presume people, while being "people", are not that gullible, I'm sure if one follows the incentives one may find reasons...

Stringing together independent pieces doesn't produce a significant rise in complexity.

For instance, the payload which specifically looks for uranium centrifuge hardware is independent of the worm which carries the payload. They can be developed separately, by different people, and combined.

That specific worm could carry a payload to attack anything.

Or, that specific payload could be carried by any worm.

There is next to no coupling between "worm" and "payload".

Oh good. This is where I get to chime in. Twitter wouldn’t have existed with out Rails. It was a side project inside of a failing startup. It took Jack and Florian like two weeks to have a solid version up that we could all use and love. That’s two weeks of designing and then having Rails make it super easy to prototype. I was in the management meetings and my read was that if they’d wasted any time fighting with technology or gold plating infrastructure then we would have moved on.

So I do see Twitter as a huge Rails success story. To use the Rails term, Rails was the scaffolding. Replacing any part of Rails later isn’t a failure of Rails.
Nowhere do I imply that you are exhibiting reptilian behaviour, I said that you are describing it. What you could take personally is that I said you should not talk about things which you do not understand (unless it is to ask questions, which I could have added), which doesn't sound at all unreasonable to me. Why you assume that was a personal attack is completely outside of how I can read my own comment.
Looks great, reminds of Labview a bit. :)

Target market is something that UIPath currently addresses is it not?

How does Parabola handle authorization issues? Is it mostly through the right API?

I am teaching Python to office personnel who balked at the high price of UIPath but might find Parabola pricing easier to accept.
The legislative term is "dominant market position", but that's too long, so everyone just uses monopoly, because it is far shorter and everyone can understand with a bit of thinking what is meant.
Just to add another data point, I didn't find it so. I can code up applescript if I want to completely relying on dynamic documentation. In fact, what surprised me was the ease with which I could pick it up after nearly a decade of touching it. The vocabulary explorer is awesome for scripting applications .. if only applications would care about them. Script editor offers coding up using JavaScript as well as applescript, but I'd any day pick AS over JS for its purpose because mental model is clearly established.
Same! I think it also has a lot to do with people looking down on Southerners and stereotyping us as being uneducated/backwards/ignorant.

If your certbot is set up to configure your webserver, you can remove its modifications manually. For some configs it does have a revert though: "certbot --nginx rollback".

Before big changes like that:

- prepare a rollback plan, so if things go wrong you don't have to learn new things in an emergency mode

- stand up a test environment and try the change there, before applying it into production
> You could probably take it a step further and say that it is in the user’s best interest to see targeted rather than generic advertising, because you can show fewer ads and make the same revenue. I don’t know if regulators will buy it though.

It would be hard to argue that when none of these companies are in fact showing "fewer ads" as a result of targeting.

What is the 'safer construction' to do this? I'm looking for ideas and trying to solve a problem. My understanding of the GDPR, which is very basic, supports the view that hashing email addresses is at least questionable.

>I think part of it is this; those "50 publications" --the media-- is paying attention now, and they judge the internet like a media publication and not a forum.

The funny thing is, those internet companies had a chance to show the media they're not be seen as publications. But the platforms didn't. They wanted an out that let them exercise power over content at the discretion of the people in control of the platform.

It's the cost-benefit tradeoff they signed up for. And now other entities are exercising their soft power over the platform to get them to exercise power over the content on the platform.
It is the opposite - ifconfig on linux is an app that happens to share the name and syntax with the BSD utility. BSD sockets came first in 1983. linux re-implemented the interface from about 10 years latter (I'm not sure exactly when, I'd guess 1992 but that is a guess).

German retailers have "discount cards", which give you a little off in return for the ability to use your data.

Beyond good and evil? Changed the way all future philosophers defined and thought about objective morality.
Our policies got much longer with GDPR. We only collect information for legitimate reasons (i.e we need it for the service they are using), we ask for it, and we never target it / sell the data. It helps that our customers are paying customers and not using a free service.

So our TOS used to be quite simple in plain english that all the data we request is only for the purpose of providing the service.

Now we had to outline all the information we collection (even though they are the ones who provide it, so they know what we collect) and outline all our services we use where that data we collect ends up (AWS, Sentry, Loggly, etc... the services we need to run our system and support them). Most of our clients have no idea what any of the information we added is because its all technical details about how we are providing the service to them.

GDPR required us to do a lot of work that ended up costing us time and money and literally nothing changed because we were already making sure we protected our users privacy.

Hopefully some bad actors get hit but for now GDPR has left a bad impression on me.
Using a hash function for this is about as good as it's going to be. If we accept the conjecture of the existence of one-way functions, and use a cryptographic sound one-way function and implementation, it's provably the best we can do.

I'm suspicious of this given that both are shareholder-owned, eventually the shareholders are going to want a benefit too.
When I say "it works fine" I mean "the text is on the page and in a reasonable font". There is a huge amount of wasted space in terms of crap content (banners, etc - all mangled because there is no JS) there, which would be annoying on mobile. This experience (in my mind) competes with websites that will not show the content at all without JS, which is not a high bar.
The US paving the way for such practices is not exactly reassurance. If the laws are so complex nobody is capable of operating within them, the result is a police state. Being subject to arrest at any time because the law of the land explicitly gives the government that power or because it is so byzantine that nobody can know all of it works out to the same thing in the end.

Your argument seems to be that a police state where the authorities have a lighter touch is preferable. That's obviously true compared to a draconian police state, but it's a police state either way.

I honestly can't see this being something that would ever result in enforcement action.

They have a legitimate business interest in not spamming someone if people try to sign you up multiple times, and since the email address is hashed, all they can use it for is to determine if they've sent you an invite before (and potentially when they did so, or when you declined the invitation).

Maybe they could get in trouble if they also retain information on who is trying to send you invites and creating a graph and a shadow profile based on this type of information, but it sounds pretty clear that this isn't something they're doing or are interested in doing.

It's Google's terms for an agreement with Google. How could any reasonable person make the claim it is not Google's problem? Especially considering they had two years to prepare, and 2018 phones still have this problem.

Presumably, if moderately recent phones were compliant, Google could ensure that outdated/invalid consent forms were only tentatively accepted until Play Services updated within the first day or so of activation, and then presented a remedial consent form which was GDPR compliant. The EU would very likely accept this solution as a technical best effort method to ensure older devices were respecting people's rights.

But it sounds like they never really put in the effort. What version of Android is GDPR compliant? 8.1?
