The European Union also green lit those acquisitions. Hence the fines against Facebook for essentially lying to the European Commission about the merger.
Can’t square this comment with the long front page discussion just a couple days ago about whether ref’ing a Google font could violate GDPR.

Since everything your site does basically is defined as “collecting” or “tracking” it’s absurd to claim you can just simply “not do so”.
For a newbie you only need to navigate, copy/paste/delete. Then you learn how to manage (multiple) buffers. It took me about a year of regular use to really feel like I could "use" emacs. Full disclosure: emacs fan. Once I started getting used to lisp prompt (M-x) or w.e its like a portal opened up to another level of understanding, realizing that you can write and execute elisp functions from right there in the editor: ex. `replace-string` or `rot13`.
it has a great undo system (multiple undo histories) and a effectively unlimited copy paste delete history. search ( C-s ) is also a pleasure to use. Magit is on a whole diff level and offers the most comprehensive and organized git interface I've ever seen shy of CLI git. And all these things are interacted with common controls, so knowing the basics from the beginning of my comment opens up the rest of the fancy stuff relatively quick.
In my job I've written a small script that compares JIRA entries to what lies into git. This I way I can spot things that were forgotten or put on the wrong branch...
there's thresholds, on a post that already has enough upvotes/comments [flagged] is only shown after a few users flagging, but the ranking is affected before that.
I had the top-of-the-line Nokia Lumia 920 (designed just before the acquisition), and the plastic case was too soft and collected dents & scratches like crazy. The matte finish was also too slippery to hold onto (I ended up putting some skateboard tape on it).

OTOH, I found the Windows Phone operating system to be highly responsive and I was able to navigate screens more quickly than the previous iPhone or the current Android I have. The problem was that as third-place in the market, few apps were available for it, and those that were weren't being maintained.

Grid companies are tricky because there’s no market there. It is almost the textbook definition of a natural monopoly.

You’re either hooked up or you’re not. Or you run multiple “grids” somehow which seems more economically wasteful and is legislatively tricky in terms of rights (to run lines, overhead or underfoot).

It seems like the cost of maintaining poles and transformers goes up a lot every year...

How to keep them honest?

It seems like you would have to regulate to the point of ($pure distribution company) being essentially a government enterprise in all but name.
The problem there is that you can't just say "no tracking", you have to be able to argue that there really is no tracking. If you put in content from a third party and have no legal promise by them that they don't track, you can't know if your users are tracked or not.

Enjoy that while it lasts. I have a chromebook that recently notified me it won't get any more updates, after four and a half years. That beats a phone, but it's pretty terrible by laptop standards. You can expect a laptop or desktop with any other OS to be good for a decade or more.
Phys.org is a low value website that republishes press releases, in this case this one: https://www.gla.ac.uk/news/headline_586616_en.html
Exactly. It is more likely that your office will burn down or you will get injured on the way to work than you will be targeted under the GPDR if you are outside the EU doing boring standard web things. Worrying about the GPDR as a non-EU company is like worrying about being struck by a meteor.
But the cost is the same for both companies inside and outside of EU, so US companies "not being forced" just mean they have the luxury to decide whether EU customers/visitors are a concern to them - EU companies HAVE to do it, even if 95% of their userbase is in the US (but I think those US users will appreciate it still).

Imagine a law that forced all companies in the EU to be polite to their customers no matter what or face fines. In that case you could also say that users would be pushed towards EU companies because they were "forced" to be polite, but I think that would be deserved and US companies could just do the same. Similarly to GDPR, if one side is forced to treat my data with respect and actively have me consent, then I would chose them, law or no law.

It's interesting how selection acts at different levels. Individuals are reasonably good at enslaving their cells so they cooperate (when they don't, they get cancer).

But cooperation between individuals is much less effective, not to mention between species. An ecosystem is incapable of enforcing a contract between species to prevent a selfish species from destroying the whole thing.

Encouraging the deletion of old posts is still a bad thing for the internet. A lot of in-depth subject knowledge is contained in old internet posts.

I don't think I support an unlimited right for people to delete everything they've posted to the internet. Previous law did not recognize one; the primary mechanism for attempting to assert one would likely be copyright, and a clickwrap user agreement would usually offer sufficient protection for the forum operator.

And more generally, prior to GDPR, a person could casually put up a forum on a website and not have a meaningful legal compliance workload. GDPR changes that.

This seems, to me, to illustrate perfectly how Microsoft still doesn't understand open source as an idea nor as a culture. The whole movement exists as a reaction against central, corporate control.

Large companies think that, by acquiring important hosted open source infrastructure, they'll somehow acquire the users or act as gatekeepers. But open source tooling is so decentralized these days that is not easy to be a captive user. The cost of switching is so low -- plenty of other comparable services supply collaborative utilities for git -- that, for most projects, a weekend spent altering URLs and configs should suffice.

If such a deal goes through, Microsoft will spend millions on the acquisition and, simultaneously, alternative providers who appear more independent (Gitlab, BitBucket, etc) will see a surge in new accounts.

And I, for one, think it'd be a good thing for open source. Every time an OSS sugar daddy turns on its users -- SourceForge, BitKeeper, Oracle, SCO, etc -- the community has grown more robust, more decentralized, and more resilient.
Yes. Precision reduces deaths, overall. Do you know what happens when weapons are NOT precise? The military simply uses more of them, and a BUNCH of human beings end up "collateral damage" in the process. Applying AI to help sort "not a threat" from "threat" should result in the US dropping fewer Hellfires on wedding parties.

You can increase your happiness within a range.

Being economically secure including heath insurance and living below your means cuts out some major issues, but beyond that has minimal benifit.

Partners / children can be a boost or stress point depending on the person, but loneliness is an almost universal drag. Thus seek and maintain positive friendships.

Heath is somewhat up to the whims of fate, but a heathly diet, good sleeping habits, and minimal exercise can maximize what you have to work with.
Many youtubers emote (portray emotion in a theatrical manner) the events and issues they narrate. Their work description is simply to be emotionally enthusiastic of whatever happens.

The old DPaint was a tough act to follow. I was disappointed in just about every graphics program I tried after my Amiga was consigned to history.

No. The only reason anybody will be fined is if:

a) They are doing the thing we have collectively decided is bad for society (misusing personal data)

b) Do nothing about this when somebody invokes one of their new legal rights, whether that be to retrieve the data you have on them or remove the data you no longer have a grounds under any of the six legal basises to store (which includes 'consent', which can be revoked, as well as five other bases which cannot be revoked but have more limited scope with what you can do with the data)

c) Be reported for this

d) Refuse to work with the compliance group

At this point, judging by how the EU has historically used fines as an enforcement mechanism, you're looking at a small fine designed as a wakeup call. The 20 million EUR figure (or % of revenue) is a _cap_, not a floor, and the EU has never gone for maximum fines except when it is obviously required to enforce compliance.

Not at all. If you don't pay me, you're a guest, not a customer. Should guests have rights too? Of course! But guest rights are very different than customer rights. Hosts should be held to a certain standard, and if they fail to meet that standard then they should expect to hear from regulators. What makes GDPR noxious is that it turns every individual interaction with the host into its own little mini-lawsuit, creating a potentially infinite burden and liability. It's actually an approach I usually think of as typically American, usually coming from the "don't need regulators because everything can be a tort" libertarians. For it to come from Europe is almost ironic.

In any case it's the wrong way to address the problem, and its ill effects are seen in cases like this. It's actually easier for "free services like Facebook" to comply because they can hire full-time compliance staff. The worst effects fall on smaller sites and individuals, making them less able to compete - individually or collectively - with the entrenched big sites. Some have even painted it as a form of regulatory capture, though I think that's a bit of a stretch.
It's a legacy of the "War on Drugs". The argument was that drug dealers use money mules to move their cash, and this law would allow law enforcement to take that money, thus harming the drug trade.

Like many well-meaning laws that were hastily passed, they never thought it would be used against retirees and people buying cars with cash.

Lazy loading clearly works because there are sites that manage it well. But when I hear "lazy loading" I think "Medium".

The typical experience reading a medium blog is that I can spend a minute, or a full 15 minutes, digesting the opening paragraphs. With the page idle that whole time. Then I can scroll down to a big brown smear, and read the whole caption before the associated image finishes loading.

I totally understand these images don't need to load with the first round of content. But you know I'm going to scroll down. Just use a timer or something.

What is ignored in the article is that a large part of the momentum was absorbed by the wall the victim must be assumed to have crashed against. Since the firefighter was anchored to the window sill, it was enough for him to hold on to the victim to turn the momentum towards the wall.

Still the firefighter needed a lot of force to hold on to the victim through the tight turn. If his grip hadn't been good, he couldn't have done that. That is very impressive.

Edit: By the looks of it the victim was held at the legs. We can expect a bad concussion.

The fantastic thing about the Internet is that it reduced those silly restrictions, like geography. There are still neighborhoods, but they're based on something more significant than where you happen to live.

And I don't agree that you have to be front page of any national website. Did you ever see Gibi in one? Probably not, yet she has almost 1M people following her and makes a living out of it. She's a celebrity in her town - it's just that the town is called "ASMR" rather than "Boston" or "Philadelphia".

That doesn't mean the current model doesn't have flaws, but I don't think returning to the past will solve any of them.

It also doesn't mean geography isn't important in some cases; I would certainly support good local reporting, for example. But only when it makes sense for the purpose, not as a sort of informal trade barrier. The Martha Stewart of my home town? No thanks.

Web Code is definitely not a solved problem. I am working on a project in Angular right now and it has advantages and major trade offs over writing it in plain JS. I’m at this point not sure it was worth it.

As far as Web UI goes, Angular has the Material Library, Bootstrap was all the rage a few years ago and there would have been this same article in reverse.

But the reality is these things are never solved. You may just feel happy with the current state of something but it won’t stay that way for long. These massive JS frameworks are probably a fad.
The worst part is trying to figure out which CSS property takes precedent and why that well is grey instead of white when you clearly said you wanted it to be white. But it’s inheriting it’s color from a parent div... somewhere.

Vue is for enhancing web pages.. you can do applications, but they get very complex beyond small-mid sized apps.

React is made for building web-based applications. You can do small stuff with it, but it's often overkill.

Just because you can use a butter knife to turn a flathead screw, doesn't mean it's the right tool for the job. These days I might reach for Vue as a jQuery stand-in, but more likely, I'd use a smaller jQuery-like library, or just use straight vanilla JS, or other micro libraries. For anything big enough to deserve a build process React is absolutely my first choice.
> What makes GDPR noxious is that it turns every individual interaction with the host into its own little mini-lawsuit,

No, it really doesn't.

In Europe action for civil torts is limited to what you've actually lost. There are no punitive civil claims. Courts are a method to get back to how you were, they're not a route to betterment.

And GDPR is not enforced by each victim of a breach taking civil action through the courts, but by victims reporting to the regulator and allowing the regulator to take action.

The reason people in Europe seem so blasé about this is because we've had decades of experience with regulation, and we know that they don't have many teeth, and tend not to use the teeth they do have.

GDPR isn't changing this.
Not disagreeing with your main point but battery replacement on the Nexus 7 2013 is super easy - I did it in under 10 minutes.
I work On UI/UX for B2B software businesses and the reason Isee for the problem is that the web is built by engineers. There has been a big focus on code quality, best practices, frameworks etc. But the majority of these engineers didn’t spend time on UI. This is definitely changing. 95% of our customers are great engineers that are seeing the value good UI/UX can add to their product and help deliver a better experience to their user. We’re in the early stages of this shift, but forward thinking engineers are already paving the way.

How is that relevant here? You mean that when I connect to A there will be some intermediate points, that is true but those points are not setup there to track me, some points will differ, there are protocols to work around tracking at that level(using proxies and VPNs). But if I don't block the tracking scripts and cookies and I have 2 tabs with 2 different sites and both have FB code in it, FB will know I am the same person, they will search in the shadow profiles, find me, add this extra data to the profile. Then 24 more trackers will do the same,
