This seems to be because you are accessing the DOM of the element from the constructor which is a no no. Here's a simple repro:

If you aren't collecting and storing PII, you have nothing to fear from the GDPR. Even if you are, you're fine as long as you only collect what you legitimately need to offer your services.
that depends on how you think loss of function and gain of function works at the phenotype level. For example, I choose to interpret these sorts of situations in the way you do: birds that lost flight still had 99% of the flight capability, being maintained under functional selection for other uses, and so only a small amount of change would be required to regain the ability.
Bruce burrowed into a floating piece of the asteroid and now has a sick man cave. Remember he is the best oil driller in the world.
No problem... it turns out we reverse engineered a primitive FTL drive from the debris at Area 51, so we stick it onto a Space Shuttle, but it also turns out to be the only thing powerful enough to blow up the star, so it has to be detonated, sacrificing the ship.

However,the explosion also creates a wormhole that Bruce Willis bounces back into after blowing the star up, which lets him land safely back on Earth in a cool pose like Iron Man at the end.
If prosecuted under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, existence of a monopoly is a precondition. Certainly there are non-Sherman charges that could be brought, but I'm not aware of anything that would be applicable in this instance?

To your first point, assuming Sherman is used, I believe US v Alcoa [1] is still the controlling case law. And you'd have a very hard time convincing a court that "smartphones made by Apple" constitute a product category over which it could have a 75%+ market share.

Or are there other laws under which action could be brought in this situation?
Same with npr! https://text.npr.org/ It's brilliant
So you're saying that you are asking consent to store the phone number and email address of a client? And you'll provide clients with the right to be forgotten, meaning that you're prepared to delete their contact information? This seems like overkill.
My comment was meant as a poor attempt at humor of the impossibility of the task. You think Hollywood cares about the effects of the star's gravity? The only thing that matters is when the star collides with Earth.
Did I say that? We (I spent 4.5 years there, starting with the writing of the first service extracted from the monorail and left shortly before the 'twitter' repo was deleted) absolutely went through a huge architectural transition, arguably multiple transitions. The biggest was the breakup of the monolithic Rails-based application into microservices running on the JVM. These services generally scaled ten to one hundred times better than the code they replaced. (By "scaled" here I specifically mean that RPS was 10-100X higher per physical machine for services on the JVM as compared to the RPS the Rails stack could handle before falling over).
Yeah, I guess I was just a bit surprised by "learning" because it does sort of imply "learning by experience" which isn't really a thing when it comes to evolution.

I do agree, it's probably just a bit "too semantics", though I do feel it pretty important in science reporting to be as accurate as possible and to try to avoid fostering misconceptions as far as possible. (Let's face it, popular science reporting doesn't have a great record on this. Hell, even university PR departments[1] are culpable.)

[1] It's amazing that there even is such a thing, but I guess we just have to deal.
they are written in collaboration with the scientists and the scientists typically have input and limited editorial powers. When I was a PI I would never let the university PR publish anything that I thought was crap.
My biggest _annoyance_ with GDPR and its advocates is the constant touting of "giving users control over their data" when in reality it is hindering voluntary actions that by their nature require some of "my data". If I want to service a small group of people with, say, an XMPP network, and those users are willing and eager to just go with it without any of this bs with terms and three-letter EU dictated roles, then it should be possible. When you've made it prohibitive, then you've done something wrong IMO.

My biggest _fear_ regarding GDPR is that, to me at least, it seems like a one-size-fits-all regulation for a world where only organisations are allowed to run services, and where all services are centralized. Which is not the world we live in (yet).
Like most car analogies this one has a fatal flaw.

Before you are permitted to use your DIY car you need to comply with safety regulations to avoid harming others. You can keep your unsafe car off the street in your garage, though. Same for software that is not compliant; you just don't get to call it a "product" and let it loose on the public.
That's cherry-picking a favorable example for the car. It's always better to take your car when you fill it up with people, compared to other modes that charge per person. It's true locally - always cheaper to drive from Oakland to San Francisco vs. four round-trip BART tickets - and it's true regionally - cheaper to drive the whole family than to fly, if you don't value your time. Of course both of those assume that you can afford the car and that the car you can afford will survive the trip.

Anyway, your last sentence is wrong. Much of the money under the HSR project is going to local transportation projects. So far they have spent or committed seven billion dollars for Caltrain, BART, Muni, Sacramento RT, Capitol Corridor, ACE, LA Metro, Metrolink, San Diego Blue Line, and Coaster, among others.
Why do these conversations seemingly invariably break down into — if not start from "But liberals..." or "But conservatives..."

What about "But humans?"
That $0.55 / mile is dropping with EVs (which also help address some of the other problems you mentioned) and would crater if driverless cars become a reality in the next decade or so. A driverless EV should easily be able to beat $86 for a 400 mile trip from SF to LA. Which makes we wonder if the time for high speed rail has come and gone.
>This is, in itself, a metaphysical position

I can't help but cringe every time I see this, which is a lot. It is not at all substantive to use a nominalist position in metaphysics as somehow vindicating the field. Nominalism about metaphysical issues is the opposite of vindicating or substantiating the field.
Mussels will also flourish around the waste water outlet pipes, because there are a lot of nutrients in the water there. Where they found the opioid-containing mussels could make a big difference. I didn't read the article so maybe this was addressed.

That's an interesting way to broadcast your lack of technical/lateral thinking skills over there at latimes.com (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15604736). You could look at USA Today's way of temporarily handling this as an example of what could be done with a few hours of work.

You're saying that the GDPR is so taxing because your team is so small? Meanwhile you're recruiting data scientists to your existing team to fuck over your users' privacy even further? Come on!

This is just embarassing. Grow up. I suspect you're just upset that your role is suddenly at the risk of becoming a lot less relevant - you are worried that this attitude of government regulation of privacy aspects will actually spread so that it impacts you in a meaningfull way and you want to nip it in the bud.
I keep seeing this argument. But the reason I don't see this happening is the giant amount of fraud out there. Sure ad fraud is an arms race, but if you can't do js fingerprinting, cookies, etc it would be impossible to verify ad impressions are real humans, not bots. And actual clicks from real humans would be impossible to differentiate - not coming from the same bot clicking over and over again (can't store ip, cookie, etc I'm not sure how you'd distinguish).
I support GDPR, but to be fair about Data Protection Officer, that position sounds like a liability, no one will want that title unless they are appropriately compensated for it, so most likely this will be a dedicated person who will be paid just to be responsible for things being complaint.

Perhaps in early stage of a startup a founder will take the title to save cost, but he/she will want to lose that responsibility as soon as possible.
> It's just a role, take your CEO, and now he's your "Data Protection Officer"

Congratulations, you're uncompliant. Thanks for playing "GDPR is easy".

> (5) The data protection officer shall be designated on the basis of professional qualities and, in particular, expert knowledge of data protection law and practices and the ability to fulfil the tasks referred to in Article 39.
Actually you are breaking GDPR rules because you are transfering personal information (the users IP) to cloudflare.
I’m not from CA, so maybe I have it wrong but I thought acquiring all the land is the reason the project is so expensive.
Its REALLY intense living here - I lived in the bay from 2004-2014, and moved up here for better COL. I'm riding the wave now, but its getting ever higher and my income needs to increase by the same amount. I'm a developer, but not a superstar - I make more than the median dev income, but that is not enough to afford any sort of permanent housing much of city limits.

I am hoping for an economic shock at this point - anything to shake loose all the people holding onto their investment houses while the values are going up, and maybe then all the brand new apartment buildings that wouldn't be able to find tenants might convert to condo's. Supply is desperately needed - even renting is a bloodsport (far more than NYC or even the SF bay, if a little cheaper).

Its literally my #1 concern about the area. If the wave rises to the point that I can never achieve housing stability without a 1.5 hour commute, I'll move (just as so many of my friends here have). Colorado and Portland are next, but even there the whispers of NIMBYism are getting louder. I'm beginning to think at this point that the economy is out to get everyone who's under 35 - the only place there are jobs that pay well enough to afford anything are vastly more expensive.
That is a good argument, but some things are priced as absolutes and not as a percent of CoL. So, true, in Romania your salary is ~ 10x your CoL and in SV it would be 5x maybe, but the money left over in absolute terms (9x Romainan_CoL vs 5x SV_CoL) is significantly different. So, if you want something that is priced absolutely, like a plane or a boat, SV is still better.
The difference between HSR and driverless EVs that can go from SF to LA is the former has existed for 50 years and the latter has literally never been demonstrated.
Well, that is not standing in the way of a good story. Interstellar solved that problem already.
Exactly. Possibly getting cancer when you are 70-80 would be a minor price to pay to not be guaranteed to starve to death when you are 5.

This is especially true if they only need a few years of GMOs to break bad cycles with conventional agriculture (such as eating next years seeds because they have no food now).
It doesn't affect me hugely. The biggest impact was that I had to spend time to define these processes and outline my privacy policy. I didn't need to go and redo all of my forms/consent flows because all the data I collect is reasonable and necessary.
Choice. There is only one (line length). And I think that's a good thing. Which were you referring to?
> given that we waste ~40% of all food produced

If you can come up with a technology or logistical process to make a significant change to that without causing famine, you've got a company with billions in revenue.
Not a parent so I'm not familiar with working with the constraints, but something a friend of mine raising kids champions: limit digital interaction to "activity, creation and expression", and use other media for consumption. So let them doodle, play puzzle games, write stuff/create music/etc, but don't give them free access to youtube videos, cartoons, etc. When they want to consume something, prefer offline stuff.
I work for an international education startup and while it was obnoxious to get the technical groundwork and auditing done: it doesn't affect the business very much. This shouldn't be too surprising; the GDPR is really only problematic to businesses who's primary purpose was identity and interest brokering. Most folks with actual products to sell aren't in such a bad spot.

Certainly, some folks have opted into some heroics getting all our microservices and datastores audited. But it's good to do that periodically anyways, so we made the audit a multi-purpose affair.
It's similar in the sense that government dictates how foreign companies can deal with personal data of its citizens. I agree that purpose seems to be different.
I work for a business that designs, builds and supports learning management systems for corporate organisations. I also had the task of coordinating our GDPR readiness activities.

As we are a 'processor' for our clients, we reviewed and updated some of our existing infosec policies and procedures, and produced a very detailed set of 'GDPR' docs to satisfy customers asking for evidence of our compliance efforts, and to provide data mappings, impact and risk assessments etc. We already had most of this done internally anyway so we just needed to 'prettify' it and change the language/terms in our 'Electronic Information Security Policy' document to match the GDPR.

We also wrote up a DPIA document about our internal systems.

All of this work took time - perhaps about the equivalent of 2-3 weeks to plan, collate and draw the diagrams and workflows for things like our security incident response plan and how we would sub-process subject rights requests; like when a client receives a 'Right to erasure' request and asks for assistance.

Overall that work was not difficult and did not cause any headaches. What has been a pain has been responding to all the clients who send us various compliance 'questionnaires' (spreadsheets) expecting tailored responses - fortunately, in the main I was able to answer "see document ref xxxxxx, section nnn".

What I am seeing now is the late-arrivals throwing in (demanding) 'for compliance' every conceivable infosec feature they have read up about - one today insisted we must now implement in-memory encryption! Many of these recent demands are not mandated by the GDPR and so are being handled as contractual changes and new feature requests so the sales team are having discussions to explain our stance and see if the customer wants a quote to amend their service and contract!
I've got tons of playlists that I listen to while coding, usually instrumental music of various styles, sometimes I also prefer silence, especially when I need to focus on learning something completely new.

Most common genres that I listen to are electronic, trip hop, trance, techno, drum & bass, ambient and post-rock. Some of my favorite artists include Bonobo, Emancipator, Tycho, Gramatik, The American Dollar and DJ Shadow.

Here are some interesting Spotify playlists that you might enjoy during coding:

The processing of personal data should be designed to serve mankind. The right to the protection of personal data is not an absolute right; it must be considered in relation to its function in society and be balanced against other fundamental rights, in accordance with the principle of proportionality. This Regulation respects all fundamental rights and observes the freedoms and principles recognised in the Charter as enshrined in the Treaties, in particular the respect for private and family life, home and communications, the protection of personal data, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression and information, freedom to conduct a business, the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial, and cultural, religious and linguistic diversity.

I don't get the complaints about how hard GDPR is and having to understand it all. If you're based in the US, have you read the actual DMCA document? CFAA? California S.B. 1386? TWEA? ADA? Or at least any interpretations of them and validated that you comply?

If not, then worrying about GDPR which is mostly not enforceable in the US sounds disingenuous.
That is not "plainly more compelling." There is no undo button for GMOs -- once they are out in the wild there's no eradicating them.

I'd think that for half that much money you could greatly upgrade BART and more importantly extend it into the central valley.
you can't use without owning a car

Or taking a bus, no? Seems like you can get a trip for under $15.
How do buses and cars accomplish the same thing?

Getting buses and cars to 180 mph even if they’re self-driving sounds a bit crazy.

Trains can move tens of thousands a people an hour at much faster speeds.
If you're not in Europe there's no obligation. I can appreciate the attitude even if I don't like it. Fintech is a REALLY difficult business to make money in. Especially with so many larger financial institutions coming in and buying any naive existential threat they see (coughs suggestively)
Web servers are non-compliant out of the box because they all by default log and store IP addresses of visitors.
> Tell that to this US law the whole world has to comply to called DMCA.

If a site has no US presence and blocks all users in the US, what negative repercussion can violating the DMCA incur? Maybe their domain can be siezed, but that can be avoided by not having a domain hosted in the US. The US could block all traffic to the site, but that should be moot if the site has no US users.
Can you cite the definition of "large scale", please?

If the have no EU customers, no examples can be made.

It's up to residents of other to demand their governments give equal protections. We all know that won't happen in America.
And another difference is that the development of a rail line requires billions in additional public funds (and also takes years if not decades to build) while the development of driverless cars is being paid for by private businesses. Wasn't your initial argument about saving money?
FWIW, this last analogy is probably not going to sound very convincing to an American audience, as convicted felons here have their lives permanently ruined, including after they've paid their debt to society in full. As an expat, people are surprised to hear I'm the only person who can request and provide my (empty) criminal record from my home country.
If a kid makes a meme generator site where you can create a profile and organize your dank memes, then now they have to have a data protection officer, build a system to purge user data, and build a system to get user consent, etc.

I can easily see small websites just ignoring GDPR and hoping they fly under the radar. Or, using something like this Cloudflare configuration to block all EU users until they reach a size where achieving GDPR compliance is feasible and worth the effort.

This isn't a hypothetical; it is the norm for humans. Most obviously, traditional methods of food preparation often coincidentally ensure that the food is digestible and not poisonous, where the most obvious way of preparing the food would be missing one or both of those properties.

How about you look at what bs comes out of the US gov't? That is the worst foreign requirement and violation of sovereignty so far, and it keeps on giving.
It's a highly relevant example. What are the reasons a lower-income person might travel from LA to SF? Traveling to visit family is probably the primary reason.

You can see this play out with the Acela on the east coast. It's almost all business travelers or nicely dressed professional looking people. People who can't afford $100+ per ticket take the bus ($35).

Likewise, even lower income people traveling alone aren't going to spend $86 for a ticket on HSR (if it's not more like $100+ by the time it's finally open). They'll pay $35 for a Bolt bus.
Since white dwarfs have around the mass of the sun in a size comparable to the Earth, the matter in them is quite exotic. Astronomer's have speculated that these hypervelocity stars (moving at a few tenths of a percent the speed of light in the referenced studies case[1]) are shot out like a slingshot. The original system is a binary, so they are already under extreme circular gravitational acceleration in their orbit. When the companion explodes in a core-collapse supernova, it loses that source of acceleration and moves in a straight line like a slingshot. The Gaia satellite is able to measure the velocity vector of the star very well, and show that it points back to an old supernova remnant. The scenario isn't controversial, but it does give quite a good example that this is how they come about.
Please learn from the experience of dealing with side effects of GDPR in EU first, before trying to push it to the US.

The side effects would include:

1) Reduced number of services available to EU customers.

2) EU users will be trained to click "Agree" without reading, because web sites would ask them for permission very frequently, and users do not have time to read web site policies anyway.
They didn't just find them. They placed clean mussels specifically for this test, then went back for them.
