Yeah right, because the bus ticket is the most expensive cost of relocation.

That's why when a company pays for relocation, they typically pay in the ballpark of $500 to account for the expenses associated with an interstate move for one person.

...which would be a nice narrative if it wasn't an order of magnitude off.

Someone relocating has to pay for:

-transportation of themselves (that's your Greyhound)

-transportation of their goods OR re-purchases of all the basic necessities (something to sleep on, something to cook with, etc) - $1000 conservatively

-transportation or purchase of a vehicle (because you really can't live and work without a car in most of the US), so in fact, let's forget about Greyhound. Throw in vehicle registration fees, increase in insurance (going from Podunk, MN to SF Bay Area will cost you $1000 just there, not accounting for gas/mileage).

Of course, you can save by moving to an area with extensive public transportation networks, but that means you'll pay way more in...

-security deposit AND first month's rent (which, spoiler! is usually going to be much higher in the city that people are relocating to). Again, for the Bay Rea, assuming you are a 20-something single who can live with room-mates (and not someone with a family who needs an apartment), that's around $1000 + $1000 if you are lucky. Add more for NYC where 2x rent is standard for a deposit (remember how you were going to save by going car-less? Put all that money here)

-perhaps you don't have a job offer waiting for you, so a month's worth of expenses while you're looking for a job. Let's say you are frugal, so that's $500, assuming you don't want health insurance and your jalopy made it across the country without needing repairs.

So somewhere around $5K for a single person for interstate relocation, assuming one finds a job within a month.

(I moved with a job offer; typical tech relocation packages are around $5-10K)

To all those looking at Greyhound costs, I need to ask: have you ever actually moved somewhere, tallying your expenses?
But I'm not railing against _a_ privacy protection law, I'm railing against the GDPR. Fundamentally, for the simple reason that I want the freedom to with my data as I please, regardless of whether or not the service I want to use is meeting EU dictated goalposts or not.

> This could change given new information, but I don't think that those of us urging a certain caution do ourselves any favors by opposing every single GMO, even those that are pretty clearly beneficial.

If only we could say things are "clearly beneficial." However we still don't understand allergies, autoimmune disorders, or nutrition well. On top of that, there's the whole field of gut bacteria that we're just starting to take seriously.

I reflexively push back because proponents won't admit GMO is a giant experiment. I'm open-minded on the idea of letting people experiment en-masse with their health. But considering 33% of Americans are obese, I'm not entirely sold from a pragmatic perspective.

It's possibly more dangerous in terms of odds of dying to earthquake to live in Washington state because the building standards there were not updated to reflect the risk until 1994 or so, and for the roughly 5,000 living/working below the historic tsunami wave line from the last one, there is no escape if they can't get out in fifteen minutes.

Great project. Looks like this is the next step from omni-feature frameworks to no-framework.
Good design, serious funding from google, good setup for contributors.
> The reason why such things aren't discussed in the US,

They aren't seriously discussed in almost any non-tiny developed country.
NHST was always intended to provide evidence within
a corpus of replicated research. institutionalized careerism creates disincentives for science to work that way in practice.

it's actually consistent with the NHST paradigm to treat any given result with skepticism; the degree of skepticism depends on many things, some of which are statistical and some of which are domain-specific. but skepticism is not the same as assuming invalidity. imperfect experiments are still (expensive) evidence for something.

imo, what you should reject entirely are media reports (usually based on somebody's PR team) that try to tell you to do anything based on one study or the work of a single lab.
> What (I think) we need is a regulated system where every drone uses a standard transponder and negotiates airspace either with a controller (e.g. IFR) or other aircraft (e.g. VFR).

Collision avoidance when in visual conditions is "see and avoid", which is all aircraft's responsibility. CFR 14-91.113.b [0]

There is no solely electronic negotiation of airspace permitted (at least not currently). It is unlikely that the FAA would change the law to require all aircraft to be so equipped and, even if they did, it would be close to two decades before any such deadline would come to be. Look at the slow adoption of ADS-B, which is only required in a select minority of airspace starting in 2020.

You would keep a list of unique identifiers (opaque) that were deleted and filter data out prior to rewriting/restoring it. It’s cumbersome but not impossible.
Most people when they ask me where they can learn basic things I recommend that book. It even covers basic programming in js.
This makes me wonder about the nature of gravity. How much of the gravitational pull from the companion would disappear? How fast? It seems like a reduction in gravity would be immediately followed by a massive energy release. It's impressive that the remaining star is moving away fast enough to avoid being destroyed in the resulting blast.
> they should look for darker pastures elsewhere

I honestly hope they do this. Every EU citizens should have their FB accounts, Gmail accounts, and all other internet services deleted, and then blocked from the majority of internet services.

Then those citizens can decide if it was all worth it.
Seveneves and the Dark Forest series are literally the last two (sets of) books I read and they are so wonderful. The last book in the Dark Forest series in particular has some of the most mind-blowing concepts I've encountered in SciFi.
If you and the small group of people are the only living creatures on the planet, then absolutely! That is to say, this isn't really comparable, for obvious reasons.
That is insane. As a private company they have the right to do business with whom they please. If a company refuses service because a potiential customer doesn't agree to their term, it is the companies right. No one is entitled to a good or service of some one else.
Why do you want them to keep using your data?
> I don't see how valuation matters. Did they loose money?

Do you know that they are a publicly traded company? Losing money is exactly what happens when the stock price falls. When you lose more than half of your value, going out of business is a serious risk.
> That said, "It's like a children's unicycle"

Tricycle? Or I’m very interested in a culture where children’s unicycles are a common thing.
I work on Yarn. The message you're quoting is from the npm CTO. We don't do yarn-specific changes. The main reason we're using a mirror is because it was massively faster than directly querying the npm registry when Yarn got released. The difference decreased during the past year I think, but Cloudflare was still a bit ahead in most scenarios.
Learning to trust another developer
Both IBM and Oracle make their own hardware. How does that factor in given the typical margins for "server-class" hardware?
I prefer a quoting convention of single quotes for text identifiers (as they rarely contain quotes) and double quotes for English text (because contractions are common). Thus:

key['first_name']
print("Isn't this clearer?")
That makes sense, thank you. However, at what point is the symbol "2" introduced in such a scheme? Is it before addition, or after? At some point it is given a definition, like S(S(0)) where S(0)=1 and S(X)=X+1, at which point isnt it easy to substitute

2 = S(S(0))= S(0)+1 = 1+1

is this simple equivalence really not provable with sufficient axioms?

Obviously from the downvotes I am missing something fundamental, I would very much like to know what that is but am at a loss. Perhaps I am just missing mrleiter's original point.
The reason that ibuprofen works for kidney stones is that it actually treats the cause, which is swelling in the ureter caused by a sharp rock ripping it up from the inside. For many types of severe pain, ibuprofen won't do much.

Strong pain killers are still somewhat useful for kidney stones however; When I had one a few years ago I was unable to keep any larger dose in my stomach long enough to metabolize it before the pain made me vomit. I got prescribed dilauded which was able to act fast enough to give the ibuprofen time to kick in.

But definitely consider destroying your opioids if you no longer need them, I think there are some common household chemicals which will break them down to a non-potent form, so we don't end up with them in places like puget sound.

>properly handling sensitive information

But the thing is that GDPR affects all PII not just sensitive one so your random small useless app/blog/game/forum that has some personally identifiable but harmless and unimportant data stored is now under the same restrictions like your email or FB data.
Giving someone money or trust in exchange for a service or good is a straightforward relationship that implies various social contracts. Americans' relationship with government is far more adversarial.
The reduction in gravity isn't due to anything special, the matter in the "anchor" star is just leaving to go somewhere else. (In all directions.)

“Move fast and *break things.” Although, GDPR seems to be throwing on the brakes.
Also possibly a terminal text editor - the cursor sits on the column where the next character would be input (such as vim's insert mode). So with 79 character lines, the cursor is sitting at 80 while waiting for the next input.

If your screen is larger than that it's no big deal, but if your screen is 80 columns and the cursor was at column 81, it would wrap to the next line without actually being a newline.
Exactly. The EU makes it impossible to do business they will just not support the EU. Already people in the EU wonder why the US tech companies tend to not bring features or products and services to the EU.

Just going to get worse as there is plenty of other places to do business.
It's not about trusting corporations, but rather trusting in the benefit of the free market which offers more choices than a government which generally limits choices. A well intentioned government but still with too many unintended consequences

I get the thing with environments, but it got a lot easier for me when I'd just ask people to do the magic I didn't know in their tools. Especially if it's two keyboards and two mice, it's easy enough to say, "Ok, now jump back to the test" and have them seize control for a few seconds.
There are useful cases for opioids, but it's a tiny percentage of the cases where they are being prescribed today. think treating traumatic amputation, for example.

Merely setting a delete flag is not compliant with the GDPR, that's why a cascading delete is necessary. Any programmer worth their salt knows mass random deletes and updates are extremely inefficient.
This is what reading rainbow was. It’s more engaging than animation.
The idea with golden rice isn't to feed it to fat Americans as a novelty, it is to make it available in countries where 650,000 children are dying each year from vitamin A deficiencies.

Concerns about allergies and autoimmune disorders and such associated with golden rice are comparable to illiteracy, so be sure to wear it proudly.
Which is ridiculous. Ultimately they will have to just not offer products and services in the EU. The EU as others indicated will become a digital waste land.
I'd be surprised if it has nothing to do with it, in that I'd expect compounds that are common in an environment to be much more likely to have organisms evolved to exploit them when possible.
For some reason plexiglass/perspex is curiously compatible with organic tissue, more so than glass. So a fighter pilot with shards of plexiglass in his/her eyes will have a better prognosis. Naturalness isn't always the last word.
You need backups of which information needs to be deleted. Or you can just store PII separately from the rest of your data so most of your backups don't need to be modified.
GDPR: Cookies and the Browsers That Store Them – Comments and Questions
Now that we have GDPR, at this point shouldn't browsers just disable all cookies by default and ask users every time a cookie is set if they want a cookie set or not with a standard warning/notice and give web developers the ability to set an additional description of who the cookie is from and what it is used for to go along with the standard notice?

With this browser change the law should change as well so us developers don't have to muck with educating users. I think it's too much forced education. Educate from the source.

I am also curious who receives the fine money? Say a US company is sued by EU, I believe the money should go back to the US Government since it's within their jurisdiction not Europe. If not this then it's kind of a tax funnel to suck money out of other countries into the EU.
Which is exactly what this is. Putting everything a human reads into a function is step one of localization.

Again, I was in my early 20s and fresh out of college. I had no idea what I was doing.

It’s not that I was trying to cut ethical corners or do things poorly, I just didn’t know what the right way to do things was. Computer science education is often very theoretical and high level and not at all practical .

I’ll be the first person to say that I was not the most experienced and or talented programmer in the world, but do we want to prevent such people from starting companies?

And secondly, not all PII is the same. We stored names and addresses and phone numbers and websites. Not exactly medical histories or DNA profiles.
I've always doubted that the view counts on Vevo videos are real.
Absolutely true. The lack of a union means that if molluscs with on-the-job injuries are asked about drug use, they should just clam up.

Never been a problem for my 6+.

Maybe people who want to carry a phone in their pockets should be more careful when they sit down, or wear pants that aren't so tight.
This is a great point actually... the GDPR law specifically applies to holders of EU passports. If your website clearly disallows EU citizens, ie: a popup stating "You are not authorized to access this website if you are, or plan to become within the next 2 years, an EU citizen", are you being compliant with GDPR? Or is there simply no way to be GDPR compliant if you store any personally identifiable data?

I won't get into intentions, but it seems like the law is so broad that it just allows any EU government to selectively enforce the law and collect fines from any company they choose...
Fare evasion and occasionally paying for the single journey ticket might be an option, depending on your location. I know of at least a few places where it won't cost much more than a card over the long run.
Absolutely. It just isn’t easy.

Tired of the eternal startup excuse to justify bad behaviour when it comes to protection of consumer privacy.

If it is impossible for some startups to respect strong privacy practices maybe we simply don't need those startups.

This 'startupism' is almost an ideology. No mechanical engineer would complain about safety regulation just because it means that they cannot start a business in their garage. In other industries, strong safety standards and regards for customer privacy is simply the norm, not an annoyance.
Targeted advertisements is one way that Google uses data about its users to generate cash. Just like users use Google Docs to create invoices, use Google Search to find solutions to problems, and use Gmail to send resumes and receive job offers. The exchange here is the use of the service for the gathering of the data. How it's used post exchange is not relevant. Is a person who decides to cease using gmail going to quit the job that they used gmail to, in part, get?

The fair result of a person choosing to stop using a company's service is that they get to stop paying for that service, i.e. Google doesn't get to collect data about your current and future activities.

No-one actually knows. What constitutes erasure and how to deal with all the edge cases around backups, archives, unstructured data and so on is one of the big ambiguities under GDPR, and one of the areas most in need of (but mostly lacking) actionable guidance from official sources.

A traditional method of breeding new plants is to expose them to mutagens and see what happens. The results of these experiments are in the food supply and not labeled as GMOs.
Also tired of people thinking that a company not wanting a rule means they were intending to do the exact the opposite of that rule, especially given said rule is incredibly vague and designed to be applied "on principle".

Fortunately for all of us, safety regulation is actually very specific in requirements.
Funny thing is there are also mandatory data retention regulations that say data MUST be maintained for a certain period of time by law.

It's getting worse, but it's generally been the case that it's impossible for an individual to bootstrap a company and be 100% compliant with every law and tax regulation. You would never have any time to actually provide a product and service customers. You just do the best you can and as you get bigger you become more complaint.
"you could easily not switch to a CASCADE, but instead set delete=1 and mark every sensitive field with a special value"
Because consent must be "freely given". As soon as you start attaching consequences unrelated to the utility itself, you're making a decision less and less freely.

The greater the power imbalance, the less free the choice. Social networks are a great example of this. You can choose not to use a particular one, but what's the alternative if everyone is already on that platform? You can go without, but what if it's LinkedIn, and there can be a real impact on your career?

What if the contents of that DB get pre-rendered to disk or memory for caching (eg: prerendering a bunch of HTML)? Do you blow those away? Which ones? What if it turns out to be a substantial number of cache records you need to blow away? Whats gonna be the performance impact of that?

I agree with the OP. People who assume this shit is easy haven't really thought about the problem much at all. There is a lot of data stored out there in ways that wasn't really designed to be mutable.
