Isn't Moviepass hæmmoraging $20 million a day while its share price tanks?

No, if you knew how Europeans think, you'd realise that this is really just about securing privacy. Most of the regulators are really focussed on ensuring compliance, not levying fines.
What you're describing seems like an inexcusable state of affairs, but as a practical matter `man -k <search term>` or `apropos <search term>` is useful for finding poorly named manpages.

Of course in the specific case of "ip", both are going to return quite a haystack to search through...

> you don't think cards are better

No, for us, the value proposition is just not there. The benefits are at best highly marginal and the disadvantages profound, if less visible.

> card-provider sponsored big-bang

Hmmm...and they did this out of the goodness of their hearts?

Cards were introduced in order to get you to spend more, in particular money you don't have, which is why it started with credit cards.

Making a payment by card is essentially the same, whether it's € 1 or € 100, or even € 1000. With cash, there's a bit of a pause as you count out the bills. And you notice it much more when prices go up. etc.

And of course the whole brouhaha about anonymous digital currencies. Huh? More technology to fix problems with technology? How about we use this really old technology that already has all these benefits.
Why do we call it a 'dollar'?
You are absolutely right, sorry for the imprecise/misleading language.
Of course, it is an option, the problem is that you claim not to be and you claim that "the EU and GDPR proponents' mindsets make a lot more sense" because I asked a question to emphasize the "test" on the EU citizens.

I see you're in Texas. Don't worry too much about EU, we are doing fine. We will figure this thing out if it turns out to be more bad than good.
> Why are Linux skills a prerequisite for knowing AWS?

There are certainly a lot of parts of AWS you never use Linux, but I don't think you'd be qualified for a (more than junior) role where AWS was listed as a requirement. (In the same sense of being a web developer but not knowing Javascript, or being a Rails developer and not knowing SQL - you can get some of your job done, but not 100% of it)

Though AWS's marketing may imply otherwise, I think you'll find things like Lambda aren't the dominant use of AWS; I believe (no real statistics to back this up) the majority of AWS is still traditional workloads on EC2. And on EC2, according to https://www.zdnet.com/article/ubuntu-linux-continues-to-rule..., about 90% of EC2 instances are running Linux. (it's a bit of an older article, but the tool they reference to show platform usage is throwing an error right now)
This was some fantastic investigating by Alex in this episode. Reply-All has done some really great journalism and reporting, including their episode on the fake tech support phone scam[0] and a more recent episode on the effect of the Backpage laws on sex work in general[1].

Tangential but related: I've been getting spam phone calls from local-to-my-number area codes (760, 619, and 858) at a rate of about 2-3 a day for more than a year now. It's funny because I don't live in San Diego anymore, so they're not actually local calls for me. VZW seems unwilling or unable to stop it. Robokiller, which promises incredible results catches 1-2 calls a week, but because the spammers are using SIP spoofing they never actually call from the same number, making it hard to compile a consistent and relevant blacklist.

Frankly, if I didn't have a chronic medical condition, and the specialist I see for it didn't require that I be able to receive phone calls to deal with scheduling, I would have insisted all of my regular contacts switch to FaceTime Audio, Signal, Telegram, etc and just disabled incoming telephone calls to my phone entirely.

In a way, this is historical clickbait. Mention the rumours about Frederick II to get people talking about how wacky this episode is. But don’t mention that Frederick II is just one of several historical figures claimed to have carried out this experiment (one of the earliest is in Herodotus over 15 centuries before) and that it ever happened at all is dubious.
Nebula Level04: A Newbie's Approach
The article’s premise is wrong. Freedom and rights are subject to the reciprocal freedom and rights of others. “Your rights end where my nose begins.” One of the fundamental collective rights of a nation state is to have a border and control who goes through it. Requiring passports is not an impingement on anyone’s freedom; it is the exercise of a country’s freedom to control who trespasses within its borders.

The whole angle about passports being a recent phenomenon is a red herring. Routine international travel is also a new phenomenon, enabled by relatively new technology (airplanes). That passports were not common in the 19th century does not suggest that people back then believed that controlling their borders was unimportant.
Nice! I found Hashgraph very interesting, but their patent stance made it a no-go for any serious DLT project. Glad that there is now a similar project without the attached patent! Let's just hope that it's not so similar that it falls under the original one.

Still need to dig deeper into it, and would love to hear other peoples' evaluations, but at a first glance, PARSEC could actually be a serious player in the DLT game.
That's a sad outcome.

I remember the tedium of non-targeted advertising---it's what ultimately pushed me away from most traditional print and broadcast media and online. Targeted advertising occasionally brings me information I actually want; non-targeted advertising feels like such a waste of everybody's time.

I hope someone takes on the experiment of opt-in GDPR compliant ads.

> There are many cases where people are storing non-relational data

No, there are not. In 99% of applications, the data is able to be modeled relationally and a standard RDBMS is the best option. Non-relational data is the rare exception, not the rule.
Last night I fired up my laptop to go shut down my side project. But I came up with a band-aid solution that might hold up for now: https://medium.com/@riantogo/gdpr-band-aid-b619d0b17e5b

I don’t need email addresses any more than, say, Pinterest. But now it is one more barrier to entry for side projects. It is definitely not easy to be compliant as many here suggest.
Really? Do you have an EU representative for your MVP? Did you hire a legal team to review your site and write up your terms of service? Send me your MVP and I’ll show you 10 thing a that are wrong with it and if you are complaint somehow then I doubt the product will be viable at all.
> How are the big three (AWS, GCP, MS) able to sell on such a scale?

I don't know the whole answer, but part of it is that they give free credits to new users, to get them using their cloud. It's smart. Once the free credits are used up, the business just starts paying, because switching to a different cloud provider is usually non-trivial.
Folks in the keto/fasting space seem to present salted water as a good option here
This is great. By the way, if anyone is interested in a library like rough js but for iOS/tvOS apps, I made one called rough cocoa https://github.com/nickshillingford/Rough-Cocoa
Regardless of whether the app has a cost in and of itself, the process of appointing a compliance officer and making sure that they understand their responsibilities under EU law is a necessary cost unless you happen to be developing the app yourself and already understand everything involved.
In any case the classical definition of free will has been solved.

What is the classical definition and how has it been solved, in case it is not obvious from the definition? Or, in case it takes to much text to answer that, who proposed the classical definition or who wrote a good book on it? I did not put a huge amount of effort into this topic but at least quite a bit, but I am still puzzled what a common, the most common, or a classical understanding of free will is.
Yes. These are the branches of the original question.

But they are not center issues in the philosophy. They are not burning questions of utmost importance as the question of fundamental freedom of will once was.
i.e. "It's easier for horses to compete with cars if you set the speed limit everywhere to 5 miles per hour."
Gödel is vast overkill. The list of things you can't compute with small finite amounts of processing power is vastly longer than the list of things you can't compute with infinite processing power.

AKA, Gödel is true but irreverent because it's not on the border of anything decidable. If you say the bonds are between 9^9 and 9↑↑↑↑9 that's just not useful.
They need to know that third-party cookies exist for that, though.

They can even be dynamic. Filter on location, uplink/computer speed, screen size, browser etc. None of it requires storing data.

Adtech might move to correlating all these things + the website visited to target particular demographics.
Genuine question: So Americans actually prefer the corporate Black Mirror-esque tracking and profiling that has become endemic and out of control over what I would consider a reasonable update to the old DPA?

How is it overreach and how is it solved without regulation? Equally, how is there any going back from the corporate overreach without?

Edit: typos.
Actually, you can talk on your phone in the bullet trains only, but you have to go to the compartments between carriages.
Well, since we are motivated by self preservation it might make sense to talk about blameworthiness when we figure out whether to lock you up or the person who threw you, or to cut out the brain tumor that caused you to suddenly become aggressive. Invoking free will still does not make any sense though, because you cannot choose your past, and I don't think you can argue that the past doesn't have any causal influence over you.
Apple seems to be confused. To use this app my PC (or Mac) must be running the game and I must be in the same LAN. How is there a business conflict?

Yes, I'm also looking forward to what the crypto engineering community has to say about this algo after it has been peer-reviewed more often. If it holds the promises then it will would be VERY huge.
Suppose a majority of those users are perfectly fine with it, and enjoy the benefits of a carefully curated system? The fact that Apples policies are widely known and people still buy iPhones in the millions is pretty good evidence that Apple has a much better grip on what their users prefer than you do.

CalDAV, which is an extension of WebDAV, is widely used for read-write access to a remote calendar. I don't know of any other protocol which is replacing this, although there are bound to be some that technically could. Google, Apple and open source projects like the 'Lightning' Thunderbird extension support CalDAV, at least in part.

300?! You must subscribe to a lot of things...

Then again, I've used my throwaway account to subscribe to a lot of things, I feel like I've gotten around 20 GDPR mails so far, why don't I have more? It's interesting (and scary) how many sites I've not dealt with for years still have my data.

I guess we're all free to ignore those emails, if you don't really care that they have your data (as has been the case until today).
>As late as 1760, the author of A New Complete English Dictionary speculated that Hebrew was the "language which God taught Adam." However, he noted that "others hold for the Syriac, Childee, Ethiopian, or Armenian" as potential first languages.

Anyone here who knows what language Childee might refer to? Ive never heard of it before and searching it gives no clue.
I already thought about that idea. I am not sure, though, whether this "randomizes" the banknotes sufficiently to avoid more advanced tracking algorithms, since the banknotes stay in your social circle.

> No, for us, the value proposition is just not there

You don’t see the value because you don’t know what’s possible. For example you asked if you ‘swipe’ a ‘contactless’ card so you must not know what other countries’ cards can do. (You don’t swipe it - that’s the whole point - it’s without contact - contactless.)

> Hmmm...and they did this out of the goodness of their hearts?

No they benefitted but so did we - not everything is a zero sum game and sometimes everyone can work together for society make progress but someone needs to nudge.
>Germany still requires that you register your residence, name, age and religion within two weeks of moving to a new place.

>Often, you even have to provide proof from a landlord that you do live there.

You left out the part where persons wishing to access those government records need to provide justification, a fee, and the access gets logged. Unfortunately, government employees accessing those records aren't as tightly regulated (although it's gotten better, iirc).

So no, it has nothing to do with some intention of 'making life difficult for tech companies'.

No, that is LITERALLY science. You come up with hypotheses and test them.

Hypothesis: [Specific diet] will cause no effects on myself, given my unique biochemicalpsycho makeup.

Hypothesis: [Specific diet] will cause [list of benefits/mali] for myself, given my unique biochemicalpsycho makeup.

etc.

Just because it doesn't automatically apply to the population at large does not make it "not science".
> And how can be a business sustainable in this way?

There are millions of businesses around the world that don't give a fig about European customers or the E.U. Hurts to hear it, but it's true.

They manage to survive an thrive without any interaction with anyone in the E.E.A.

It's a very European thing to think of the E.U. as the indispensable center of the world.
The Subversion HTTP protocol is WebDaV, so it is most certainly a living standard. Microsoft Office (used to?) support WebDAV URLs in its open dialog, I imagine that's still the case. I'm pretty sure it sees wide use in Microsoft stuff come to think of it. FrontPage used to use it, Sharepoint uses it(?). I suspect some more of their non-Office authoring tools

Oh - hell - yes, and Microsoft IIS. That was a big user back in the day, again for FrontPage integration, but you could use it generically too

And of course, Windows and OS X still support mounting WebDAV URLs as drives.

edit: it ain't going anywhere: https://www.ics.uci.edu/~ejw/authoring/implementation.html

Looking forward to seeing the evaluation numbers!

I'm mostly curious about how their NER and parser compare against what I've implemented for https://spaCy.io . I've tried the architectures they're using, and I've found they need very wide (and therefore slow) hidden layers to get competitive accuracy.

I'm sure they have some evaluations, right? I mean you can't really develop these things without running experiments...
False. The marginal cost of an EU customer is no longer zero. Why should I put in a bunch of work for GDPR compliance if the cost to implement it exceeds the initial marginal cost of an EU user. There is still the rest of the world.
Yes, you just need to account for that in your total caloric intake. Your re-feeds are going to need to be bigger.
When I was shopping around for a Sony Digital Paper tablet I noticed that the original model did in fact support WebDav, I thought that would be ideal, I could have all my notes dump themselves onto the office NAS without any additional proprietary shitware getting involved.

Instapaper isn’t based in the eu. The eu can’t prosecute individuals on foreign soil. I mean they can try, but good luck getting anyone to show up
That's an interesting point, but I only think it's true under the correct assumptions. If we assume that all bodies are more or less interchangeable, then yes. You'd want to look at large scale, repeatable studies that tie diet into health outcomes, and just follow those.

If, however, there is a large amount of variation among human bodies, large scale objective studies may not hold much value for any particular individual. In that case, the proper bounds of the experiment might be one person, or a small group of similar people. In that case, trying various experimental diets and observing the effects is quite scientific, even if not universal.

Rob May, CEO Talla Interview: Post Exit, Digital Workers, AI Trust with Botchain
There was a bunch of little stuff. I don't think it was as bad as the flu, but it was somewhat uncomfortable.

The initial symptom was wanting to eat all of the time, even if I wasn't hungry. My brain was convinced that I had to spend huge chunks of my time chewing on something flavorful.

So I sliced off some very flavorful cheese and nibbled little tiny pieces during the morning. That seemed to work. Note that I avoided all artificial sweeteners. There's some danger there that I felt I should avoid.

Eating a bunch of cheese leads to constipation. Some fiber every morning fixed that.

There were a few other things. My energy level dropped right off, then came back. Now I have much more energy than when I started. I had a little bit of brain fog, but it was manageable.

The biggest thing I've found about keto is that my personality changes. I am much more relaxed and sedate than I used to be -- more on an even keel. That's not necessarily a benefit. It was just unexpected.

ADD: The crazy thing about keto, as opposed to just IF, is that you have to be really OCD about what you eat. Manufacturers sneak carbs into everything. A food journal was critical for me -- and it was something I felt I didn't have to do, since I already knew so much about nutrition! Good thing my SO talked me into doing one.

My comment doesn't make a statement about how things should be. It's a statement about the complexities of a technical implementation:

_If_ it is true that the GDPR covers an EU person's data held by any company worldwide, regardless of how or whether it should, an IP block might not be accepted as compliance. Or it might, if the EU regulators decide that best-effort is enough.

The important point is that many Europeans are browsing the net through non-EU IP addresses without the knowledge that they are doing so. Most people do not pay attention to what their corporate public IP address is. They may use "non-EU" services entirely unintentionally, and EU regulators may or may not take that into account in the unlikely case that they investigate one of these companies.
All my respect to David Irvine and his team, who have been working hard for 10y on this, busy coding instead of pumping.

Despite all the skeptics and critics, he comes out with a groundbreaking solution, makes it open source, and even goes so far as to reaching out the competition to give them a heads-up.

just wow.
Think of the GDPR as a bug-fix release to remove the loopholes those legal hackers used.
