No it applies to any organization offering data services/web sites to EU residents, including authorities.

GDPR is only a regulation stating more explicitly what you're required (and were always required) to do for compliance with EU privacy laws. It obviously was needed since privacy violation has become so blatant. The GDPR legislation has been a long time in the making. It might be the case that privacy in Europe is being valued more than elsewhere in the world, I don't really know, but it's nothing new at all. For example, in Switzerland (not in EU but certainly with humanist and very old democratic and civil rights traditions) privacy in the form of banking secrecy is held in even higher esteem.

Yes, as a collateral effect, some business models might not work in EU any longer, or not to the extent they used to (though ads and affiliation links had been on a race to the bottom anyway). But I'd say that's a win, or can be turned into a net benefit. Think about what the Web has become in the last 10-15 years. We still don't have reasonable micropayments, and nobody wants paywalls anyway, etc. The result has been the rise of "platforms" and monopolies where the user's data and attention is the product, with publishers of quality, nuanced content struggling or going out of business. While you of course don't owe dead-tree publishers anything, an economic model for content creation working for more people than it is now is still very much desired.

If you're perceiving GDPR as trading barrier (even though it's just a privacy law), please also consider the US's total and utter failure to get their antitrust regulations in gear: Facebook buying WhatsApp, Google buying DoubleClick and YouTube, etc. At a certain point, others will have to react to that kind of government-sanctioned monopolization to protect their markets.
That's funny. I seem to recall from history classes that it was the British that came to the Faroe Island's defense on a previous historic occasion. (For obvious strategic reasons to do with the geographic location in the North Atlantic.) What did the Danish do on that occasion, I wonder? That's right, they surrendered to the Germans. (Understandably, I might add.)

Look, the Faroe Islands do get a lot out of being so intimately tied to to Denmark, but let's not oversell it, OK?

The Netherlands is quite interesting in that separate bike lanes are already a thing in most cities, which means that the step to applying those to inter-city roads with the advent of electric bicycles is a relatively small one, so there's a lot of movement in that direction now. At certain locations electric bicycles are already a far more common sight among commuters, and it'll be interesting to see how that growth continues in the next few years.

To be fair, Thomas Bernhard hated every city with a passion. I have beside me the book „Städtebeschimpfungen“ (insultations of cities), which is just him raging on and on about various cities and why they and their inhabitants are unbearable cesspools of dimwitted lowlives. Its very creative.
The other message is that google is unreliable as a business-partner because it's depending on the random emotional state of insignificant gears in their machine.

Not saying that it was wrong in this case, but folllowing recent developments at googles internal struggles, companys will ask themself one day which topic will the google-crowd angers next, and what company will suffer from it. If this continues google will suffer from it.
Think back to the inspiration for modern UI. It's a flight engineer in the back of the cockpit, or an astronaut on his way to the moon. He has some buttons and switches, a lot of gauges and maybe a couple of digital displays. Then think about documents. The written word. Information graphics. What the web has been trying to do is make an astronaut's control panel the same kind of thing as a Guttenberg bible. That is a very tall order, and it's not surprising that it's taking some iteration.

More effective warfare in the right hands would kill less people. We're fine when America keeps the military upper hand, we're fucked if nations who care less about keeping people alive do decide that using neural nets for warfare is a sound idea.

It's one of the things being developed on the down low right now, but you can find PRs like:

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/24473

which are making this:

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/src/interpret...

a compilation-free version of Julia. At the same people there is discussion about how to cache native compilation results after precompilation, so that way packages can store all of their compiled code and users can directly use it without compilation through the interpreter. This second part isn't done yet, but it'll be interesting to see what happens when it has a truly dynamic + precompiled form.
I don't want to. It's your forum. Your responsibility.

None says US should not use high tech, just that an international company like Google doing this will have big consequences to it's business abroad and inside US and people , employees and customers have expressed their right to tell Google management they don't want to be involved with this.

I personally think is a bad idea that a big company like Google to be associated with military,NSA, CIA , it will end up with losing customers outside the US and even in US, like the Dropbox image issue where some people quit using it (I don't remember exactly the names involved)
Insulting is really what i felt too. Simplicity, size, ubiquity, plug and play are the opposite of react.

Do you think this technology will really "disrupt" which nation is both the largest manufacturer and consumer of weapons?

I think who the "right hands" are to handle military power is something that reasonable people can (and do) disagree on...
I'd be surprised if the forum software he uses doesn't already support self-service for that
>More effective warfare in the right hands would kill less people

Debatable. Putting too much trust into technological solutions to make the killing decisions for you may as well reduce oversight and transparency. After all, if the algorithm said that the guy was a terrorist and deserved to die, who would question it? It's supposedly an unbiased machine making the call, right?

Algorithmic transparency is really not understood enough to even consider autonomous warfare. If Google wants to pretend that it's doing something ethical when working in that space, most of their focus should be on that instead of making drones kill better.
> Microsoft has embraced Github with it's recent .Net core development, they are one of the largest contributors with some incredible cross platform dev tooling.

Not going to deny this, but that's really the reason I'm not comfortable with the idea of a MS owned Github. Microsoft doing open source development is great. Microsoft trying to influence open source and FOSS development as a whole, not so much. Them aquiring a central hub of such development efforts doesn't signal good things to come: The users of Github have nothing to gain from this, whereas MS has, and there's a non-zero chance of them ruining the thing for everyone in the process.

> Yes, this is really little different from shutting down a whole forum because you received a single DMCA request.

Completely unrelated. Not only are DMCA requests easier to handle than data access requests, the fines for not complying with GDPR are disproportionately larger for violating DMCA.

Work required for complying with a DMCA request: delete the offending material, a basic feature implemented on every single piece of forum software

Work required for complying with a data access request: Search every single service you potentially could have stored user data in and provide it to the user. A non basic feature that requires custom development.

Additionally any malevolent user (as is shown in this case) is incentivized to send a GDPR data access request while this is not true for DMCA.

I agree however that they are both horrible laws. So if your argument was to show that GDPR is just as bad as the DMCA I agree. GDPR is a horrible law and it is not obvious to me that the law wasn't created specifically to target non European business.
I personally would not want to work on killer automatic robots even if is a challenging domain and some other country is doing it, if someone else wants to work on that then I am ok and a society we need to find a way to make this things illegal(like we have done for land mines,chemical weapons etc)
> If a user publishes on your forum he has disabilities, congratulations, under gdpr you just leaked user personal data of the worst kind.

I'm really not sure what people think they're gaining from posting these wildly inaccurate GDPR comments.
I live in Montenegro, which was a part of Yugoslavia. When Yugoslavia started to break apart the wars started. The wars lasted for almost 10 years, from 1991 to 1999.

American military intervention is the main reason why the wars stopped. For the last 18 years it’s now peace.

I’m an immigrant here so I did not participated in these wars. But I asked locals who did, “do you think the wars would stop unless Americans intervened?” The answer is usually “no, I think we would be still killing each other to this day.”
The comparison Sara made was that React can be overused just as jQuery was.

The problems with jQuery is that it's mostly a set of functions to simplify Ajax and DOM manipulation so it's not really helpful for the structure of an application.

React (and other frameworks surch as Angular, Ember and Vue), on the other hand, helps you to build reusable component which helps a lot to scale.

Also jQuery's golden age was when browser compatibility was a big issue, nowaday, most browsers behave properly.

There's no harm in learning jQuery, its interface is way more intuitive than native DOM apis. It could be a good idea to try and build a simple app with jQuery and see what are the pain points and then compare with a modern framework.
On my android phone (Nokia 3, fwiw) that example is trivial: pull down menu, settings, search "spell", "spell checker", "off".

React and Vue are immediate mode/declarative UI libs. Your code says "given the model/state, here's what I'd like the UI to look like right now", and they manage to mutate the DOM efficiently to achieve what you want.

jQuery and the plain DOM are retained mode APIs. You manipulate stateful objects to achieve your goals. It is ok for simple interactions, but it quickly becomes unmanageable for more complex apps.

That would've been my exact reaction while reading this. Good thing I have no large projects on Github.

Well, I guess Gitlab would be happy about the new customers. If they're clever, they'll work on some tools to easen the transition.

From this perspective, Git has made some fundamental things right: Because it only functions as a decentralized system, it strongly reduces lock-in. In the case of Github, you "only" had to port over issues and pull requests. Imagine how great it would be if there was a standard way to save issues in a git repo[1] that was supported by pretty much every provider.

No, you do what's necessary to fullfill the service you provide to the user: they wanted to publish a forum post, you store and publish the submitted data as is necessary to offer this. That's neither a leak nor forbidden.
That doesn't mean lawyer up or shut down at the first request. Of course you should be prepared, by doing sensible things like having an up to date privacy policy, and only keep the data that you need and that you have permission for. However when it comes to compliance, if you get a request, be sensible. The time to lawyer up is if you get a notice from the ICO, if you think it's unreasonable and/or you don't think you can comply with it.
I've dealt with the ICO quite a bit, as I've appealed a few FOI requests, and they've always been very reasonable, if a little overworked and slow to respond.
I had the same with programming. When I was younger, both my work and hobby were programming related.

This is at least the 5th instance I've seen of a website announcing their closure due to GDPR on Hacker News. Most websites probably wouldn't announce it and given that a post about simply blocking all EU users got upvoted to the front page less than a week ago I doubt the idea of blocking all EU users isn't more prevalent.

Try doing some basic research before asking leading questions that you don't expect responses to.
I suppose it's a matter of how much you appreciate human achievement. Detroit could become the realization of a new Metropolis. Hyperloop could be built between Detroit and Cleveland and other cities with much less regulatory constraint. The promise of these mid-western cities excites me much more than the west coast because we do not need to be bogged down by preservation of natural landscapes there. They are the areas that could have delivered millennials from their stagnation if momentum had taken hold.

There is no choice but to grow. People like to travel, conduct scientific research, and face and conquer new technical challenges. You cannot do this without more people and the productivity they provide. Period.
This happens on my parents' lawn too. I don't understand though, if grass grows better than clover in nitrogen-rich soil, why doesn't the grass come back once the clover has replenished the nitrogen?
OTOH it speaks to the direness of the situation if you had to mention those two for an even worse scenario.
Downloading all the images provides a good user experience. If your intranet has a GB of images on a single page, that's on you - even if browsers did as you suggest, any older browser would still saturate your network link.

These fancy image placeholders seem more designed to save on CDN costs than to provide a good UX.

> Even before GDPR, one could receive a DMCA request, an US court order, a letter from FBI, a letter from NSA.

And a data access request. This has always existed, but it was a directive which was implemented in each local law, and local legislators could give (more mild) fines but almost never did.

GDPR is not new. And I'm not talking about 2016, I'm talking about the previous law from 1995 which is 95% the same for 99% of the companies.

One aspect is that perhaps the concept of a middleman or agent for creative people is not as bad as people claim it to be. It shields you from the fans and a lot more.
It's not clear that a forum administrator would need to do anything under the GDPR except respond to emails with the standard template: "The forum does not collect or process any personal data."

Technically, I suspect, this would be true. The GDPR and the right to be forgotten are subtle on this. If a user chooses, unprompted, to share PII it's not clear that collection has taken place. Imagine a user, out of the blue, uploads her bank account information to a forum and others take the credentials and steal or her money. Would anybody seriously believe that the business should be liable for failing to secure the PII data? The other question is whether such data can be said to be processed. Clearly the forum is not processing the PII data as PII data. It's likely the case that the business doesn't know that any given forum contains PII data.

The GDPR also gives businesses a lot of lee way here. Erasure requests can be rejected under "freedom of information", if they cause undue burden a fee can be demanded, or if they're just frivolous they can be outright refused [1].

Admittedly this is speculation. European regulation is rules-based and a lot of leeway is given to regulators. The right to be forgotten is probably the least concrete aspect of the law. It's not clear how it intersects with user-generated content because it's not clear that PII is even being collected here. In the end, I suspect the regulators and the courts would probably be open to good faith efforts towards compliance. This might take the form of removing account data (username, emails, profile pictures) but leaving the forum posts up. If a specific forum post is believed to contain PII the business might ask the user to explain how the data in the post could be used to personally identify them as a data subject.
