I wouldn't recommend that checklist. It seems to be a list of every topic in the regulation, whether it applies to you or not, presented as a list of things required for compliance.

While technically not wrong, some of it is so misleading that the reader might be less informed about the law than when they started.

I wish I had a better option than just reading the text of the law, but most explainer sites I've seen have been misleading, confusing, biased, incorrect or generally not so good.

I've been using this[0] reference—basically the text, but better organized.

For me the tablet form factor was killed not by apps but ironically the non-apps: web browsing went from perfection to trash once sites tried to detect touch screens and “improve their experiences”.

Pinch-and-zoom with normal sites goes a long way and should have been the preferred tablet web model.

You seem to be conflating owning a legitimate domain name for the purpose of internal use with making the DNS records from that domain's zone public. One does not imply the other.

Google quits selling tablets – TechCrunch

Indeed. We expand to fill our means very quickly. Often this is physically observable, such as when moving to a bigger place.

An 18 year old with a clapped out Renault Clio is happier about that than Mr Jones is about his Jaguar. We lose the ability to be happy with things that once made us happy.

What I've realised is that we only sense change. A positive change is good, a negative change is really bad, and staying constant is nothing at all. Just like in physics. Constant is constant no matter the absolute level.

My personal goal is to regularly introduce small positive changes in my life, avoid big changes, and resist expanding to fill my means so that (hopefully) I won't have to endure negative change. It's working pretty well so far. My outgoings are a fraction of some of my friends and yet I'm just as, if not more, happy with what I have.

+1 honestly the optimization for tablets made every UI trash. Don't forget Windows 8 & 10's new interfaces.
I've found Windows very frustrating to use on non-Surface tablets and somehow the tablet mode is even more so. IIRC, opening the on-screen keyboard makes you lose focus on whatever window it was you wanted to type in.

> Samsung Chromebook Plus satisfies my needs for a tablet: mainly media consumption (web browsing, YouTube, reading long articles, and watching movies).

I have a Samsung Chromebook Plus, and I absolutely despise it as a tablet. Compared to my Nexus 9 (which is still kicking), it's a far inferior device. My primary uses for my tablet are watching video and reading comics. It manages to fail at both of those two things.

1. No system-wide support for red-tint (aka "night mode", Flux, Twilight, etc.)[0]

2. Buggy rotation lock - this works very inconsistently across apps.

3. Heavy (compared to keyboard-less tablets)

4. Buggy soft keyboard (sometimes the soft keyboard just straight-up doesn't work in certain apps, so I have to unfold the device from tablet mode just to use the hardware keyboard to type).

I still use my Nexus 9 over the Chromebook Plus every time I can. When my Nexus 9 dies, I'll probably end up getting a Surface to replace it.

[0] There is finally support for it on a per-user basis, but it took years for them to introduce this. And even now, if you close your tablet and have to unlock it again, you'll be blinded by the unlock screen.
You know you can get back that behavior through accessible settings?
I feel this is because many people confuse Redux (or flux) with React itself.

Or the more general problem of not knowing the difference between store state, local component state, and component instance state (the actual JS object's properties.)

The new Unstated library leveraging the next Context API is a nice balance I find for state management. It basically just mirrors Reacts setState style update system. Although you do lose the single source of truth pro of Redux.
> That seems like victim blaming to me. I think this is more like pretty good evidence that Microsoft has done a disservice to its users vis a vis their security.

I squarely blame developers/designers. Not just Microsoft, but Netscape with SSL, Android with app permissions and side-loading, etc.

There is this terrible historical concept that we can solve security issues with user education and work around design/deployment problems with security through obtuse user prompts.

Sure, just as long as you keep in mind that Firefox extensions and Ubuntu snaps/universe/multiverse aren't vetted for malware. Plus Firefox extensions (like those toolbars of days past) can inspect all traffic and capture things like credit cards and passwords.

Have you ever ran a business that, uh, intended to scale beyond one employee and a hobby website? I've never seen a company be threatened with some form of legal attack and not get lawyers involved. Especially with such a new law like the GDPR that has no judicial precedences upon which to build business processes. I've been in companies as small as 4 people, and we still had lawyers on retainer for stuff like this (copyright violations in user hosted content was a big one before GDPR).

If you can completely distill a binder of a legal framework down to an "if this then that else this" sentence, you don't understand it, and your hubris is going to kill your company. If you think the correct response is "don't respond, wait until it escalates", you don't understand it and your hubris is going to kill your company. If you're doing anything worthwhile you're going to be bumping up against some law or another, and you can't just ignore it and you can't afford to not understand it. That's why you pay lawyers.
How can it be hard for a forum to comply to GDPR? What kind of private information does it really need to save?

One of the primary science justifications for DSCOVR is its ability to measure the total combined reflectivity of Earth, dynamic cloud cover and all.

This albedo as it’s called is very important for climate science, and opposition to what climate science tells us about the world was an important part of the Bush administration deciding to not actually launch the finished satellite (the main reason being the overall idea was by Al Gore)[1]

Transloadit.com | Digital Marketing & Sales INTERN | REMOTE

Transloadit is a cloud encoder for images, video, and other content that needs marshalling around the internet. I’m not fond of labels, but B2B & SaaS seem to apply!

We’re light on management and expect every team member to take the lead. We work remote and use Slack and GitHub to communicate & plan.

Since our service is by developers & for developers it’s important that you have affinity with that space, but I guess asking on Hacker News already gives us a good subset :)

This vacancy is not up on https://transloadit.com/jobs yet, but that page does explain a lot about our culture and vision.

Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (the latter one being a mini tablet) were the best mobile devices I ever had. They worked well together and on their own. Combined with a real laptop and smart tv I really had all the sizes I could ever want to have.

The problem, I think, is not that nobody wants tablets but that there simply isn't a good one to buy anymore.

> I'm suspicious of any "formula" to solve all ethical problems.

Right, I think that's what I'm mostly interested in - what if you treat utilitarianism as a guideline? If you only apply it in cases where you think most people would agree on what is "most useful", would that not lead to better decisions on average, without influencing potential hypothetical edge cases?

(I also happen to think that the most useful thing in your situations is to respect the law, and have the law say that you're not allowed to exploit the homeless person, since that also influences the amount of trust we have in other people and hence the quality of life, but that's probably less relevant for what I'm interested in now.)
A common flaw in software engineers is writing thinkpieces about technology they don't fully understand yet. Giving it a clickbait, not fully baked title is a bonus.

Move along. Engineers will continue to use good technology they understand (like React) while newcomers will continue to try to emotionally justify technologies they don't want to learn and use.
I like Brad's articles, but recently it has seemed like he has struggled to migrate on React, and some recent articles have just been trying to criticise React but with bad (or false) arguments, which makes it appear just him trying to justify himself not being able to wrap his head around.

React is great, mostly for bigger web apps that do need a framework and more structure, such as an SPA with multiple team members working on it.

Just like jQuery is great to do some quick and simple dom manipulation.

I've tried both opposites; I've been on teams working on large apps in jQuery, and it's hell.
And I've also used React to implement simple little things, and it's also hell (part of it for reasons Brad mentions in this article).

I don't have much experience with Vuejs but I've been using it instead of React recently, and it's refreshing indeed. Just like jQuery you can just import it with a script tag and start doing some dom manipulation and it makes the code much cleaner than jQuery.

And as others have said, jQuery is not bad - it's awesome. I guess it didn't age very well with the JS env evolving, but it's great.
I believe that with the advent of acid, we discovered a new way to think, and it has to do with piecing together new thoughts in your mind. Why is it that people think it's so evil ? What is it about it that scares people so deeply, even the guy that invented it, what is it ? Because they're afraid that there's more to reality than they have confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in, and they don't want us to go in there either, because if we go in we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.

Today yes. Good luck with that back in the Internet Explorer 6 days. Cross browser compatibility is what motivated jquery in the first place, today it has played out its role as a cross browser DOM manipulation library.

Modern libraries such as React and Vue however play a totally different role. They introduce proper architecture to web development such as separating the view from your business logic with data binding, they can not be compared with jquery which was just a nicer way of doing the same old manual DOM manipulation.
I know the extension, but what does that have to do with informing users about not using their account when browsing with Tor? Heck, informing users about being able to use different accounts with Multi-Account Containers was already such a hard problem that they opted into shipping it as a separate extension, so it's only used by power users.

>>If you tear out something like jQuery, you’re going to have to figure out a way to get those accordions to expand and collapse again. If you tear out React, you get a blank page. React is a big commitment.
>This is probably the only real concern I see.

I'm sorry but this is not a problem. If you commit to React then you commit to it. You are not suppoused to change it every other year.

Imagine a big C++ Qt application. Will you ever think of changing Qt on it, and expect no huge cost? No. That's unreasonable.

So what he wants is not only a cross-browser, cross-platform framework (and much more) but also a framework that is somehow "cross-framework"!!

This is really getting me. People, such flexibility and ubiquity is NOT FREE. People this days complain about the web being to complicated, and that it is a lot of complexity to make something "simple as a webapp". I agree, it is. But that simple multimedia webapp you get today works over a distributed network, in almost every platform, from mobile to desktop to almost everywhere. This kind of ubiquity will be unthinkable in the early 90s/2000s without investing on a huge number of experienced dev teams and a huge especialized codebase(s). Today some javascript framework and markup will give you almost the same product. Yes, I think the web ecosystem can be improved. A lot. And the end result is not always 1:1 comparable at many levels with what you would get back in the day with native apps and a load of work and experience. But still.

People complain but they don't know what they are getting.

> albedo

That's exactly why I found this so fascinating. I know that the ice caps are extremely important for slowing climate change (due to their albedo, being completely white). I had no idea that clouds were so prevalent. My initial thoughts on seeing that image were "wow, that's a lot of albedo, has climate change improved cloud coverage?" A directly counteracting force to the most dangerous GHG (water vapor). Turns out maybe not? We don't have industrial age data in this, so we can't tell for certain - but maybe (likely not) there is a glimmer of hope.

Thanks for the additional information, either way.

I think a better strategy than trying to be rich is,

1. First decide what is the median lifestyle that you want to live. Then decide how much it costs.

2. Next decide what are the tasks which make you most satisfied. Consider doing those tasks that would earn you at least what is required as per above criteria. As a rule of thumb, the most satisfying tasks(ex: world tour with your spouse) will earn the least.

3. Invest, so that you could switch to doing more satisfying tasks, as your threshold of money to be earned via job will go on decreasing.

There's no point in working hard, doing a job you don't like, to earn millions/billions, when you won't be spending most of it. After all, you might get hit by a car today, and you'll never know how those millions of yours got spent by your kids.
> Yet you don't see small companies sweating over competition law.

They would if it applied to them and they had to do work to comply. This is very simple. If a law applies to a company, companies will worry about it and the perceived risks. If a law doesn't apply to a company, they won't worry. Ideally, both the laws and their punishments are as narrowly scoped as possible to prevent abuse at the whims of enforcer subjectivity. It goes without saying that a business not affected by a law won't sweat it like they might if affected by a law. Couple that with ambiguities in the legislation and effort to comply and it's clear why small businesses sweat one and not the other. It's a very poor comparison.
jQuery in terms of popularity? I'd take it as a compliment.
One downside of proportional representation is that it gives a lot more power to the parties to choose the winners. I'm not sure if voters would be comfortable with that. In the present U.S. system, a person can run as a Republican or a Democrat without the blessing or support of their party and win. I think that's a good feature to keep the party turning into some sort of "this guy and all his friends" club.

Granted, if there are more parties to choose from there's more opportunity for voters to reject dysfunctional parties, but it's not inconceivable that you might end up with, say, five dysfunctional parties instead of two.

I suppose a sensible hybrid system might be to have voters vote for their party in the regular election, and then for each party with one or more seats, that party runs a primary (via a multi-winner variant of approval voting or STV or something) to elect the people who actually serve in those seats. Does anyone already use a system like that?

Was it right or fair the money was taken? Likely not.

But, practically speaking, was it a good idea to blatantly take that much cash in a bag across a border? That's highly questionable.

I don't care who it is, government agent or not, I would just not risk it. At the end of the day, that "civil servant" is just another person - and they are liable to act in their own self-interest just like some other random individual. With such high stakes as putting your life savings on the line, it would make sense to be skeptical of anyone you make eye contact with. It's just my opinion, but I would sooner take my chances trying to smuggle the money across the border than just plainly walk through security with a bag full of cash. Unless there are specific legal/authoritative documents proving the legality of the money that's being taken across and a lawyer is traveling with me. As soon as the government seizes the money, it's an uphill battle from there.
