IMHO not really, GDPR isn't really about (and thus can't be satisfied by) notifications and click-OK-to-continue "consent".

For the common use cases of data by random websites, there really are two common scenarios GDPR-wise:

1) Whatever you're (not) doing with the user data falls under one of the multiple GDPR valid reasons for use that do not require user consent: in this case a clear and informative description in an easily accessible privacy policy is sufficient, and the notification/"agreement" isn't needed for GDPR compliance, the popup is useless.

2) Whatever you want to do with user data requires user consent, but you're not going to get GDPR-valid (informed, specific, freely given and opt-in) consent. There are specific sites that can get meaningful consent because users really want it (e.g. genealogy sites come to mind), but for the random "we want to track you for advertising purposes and share it with 200 third parties", it's not realistic. And the popups don't (can't) help you with that. A popup that allows you to opt out... well, if it's not opt-in, the consent isn't valid in the first place; if the user goes "meh, whatever", then that doesn't count as opt-in consent. If the user is required to "agree" to continue, then that doesn't count as freely given consent. If the user isn't clearly told everything before they intentionally opt-in to every single use case because they want you to do that particular thing, then that doesn't count as specific, informed consent. If you do implement all these things properly, then most users aren't going to opt-in in the "ad-tracking" scenario (which is the GDPR intended result), so companies don't want to implement it properly.

So the nasty popup doesn't really grant you consent anyway (the process is inevitably missing at least one of these key criteria for valid consent), so GDPR-wise it's useless anyway.

Hmm.

Additional fuel for the price competition has come from a practice in which asset managers loan shares of companies. In exchange, the firms get cash collateral, which they can reinvest for a return to help offset fees associated with index funds and ETFs.

“Since we expect Fidelity is a profit making organization, we expect somehow they will look to make money, likely on the sec lending of assets,” said Robert Lee, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, in a note Wednesday.

So am I correct in thinking that this probably preempts a move where Fidelity will push short selling and margin trading for single stock selection in their consumer accounts?

The Guidi and Longo paper isn't a study at all. They're summarizing the work of Obrist et al, 2018:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29875130

Apparently efforts similar to these go back to at least six years. "Metabolic reprogramming: A new paradigm for targeting cisplatin resistant cells" describes a recurring research program that began in 2012 which seeks to impede cancer via restraining oxidative metabolism, though I think their method of blocking cancer cell metabolism may be more selective than starving ALL of the patient's cells.

You can already have your website check for the Do Not Track header, don't set non-essential cookies and don't show a notice when it's set. Basically no website does that.
Speaking from the linux distro perspective, this is not true.

You can develop an application in python that utilizes distro-supplied python libraries. If you package your library in .deb or .rpm, it's trivial to utilize the dependencies from the distro.

Otherwise, you can install from pypi via pip, and especially into a virtualenv. You can declare each dependency's specific version if you so choose. Modern distros support python2.7 and python 3.x.

If you're on some other operating system, yeah, using python sucks for you.

While it's fair to say python is not statically compiled, it's no different than managing dependencies in other dynamically linked software.

Unlike python, go applications have to be cross compiled. For the most part, native python code will run anywhere the interpreter runs.

In the world of containerized applications, vendoring dependencies is a moot point anyway. We're all shipping around big tarballs with everything baked in anyway, so go doesn't offer any advantages in that space other than smaller binary size.

Not to say that go doesn't have some advantages over python, but I think the dependency management problem is vastly overstated, at least when it comes to python.
Why can't he just be happy using Go?

You're highly misinformed. Trump never cared about the IP angle, only deficits. The IP angle came out of a report that was long in the works. Furthermore it doesn't make sense to talk about bilateral trade figures. China has basically balanced trade with the world because it sources inputs from abroad. That's also without talking about the services trade of which China buys a great deal from us.
Congratulations on finding something that works for you and sharing it here.

However, it's incredibly common for just about anything to "work" for a three to four months. The key is finding something that is sustainable for a lifetime. It's also noteworthy that you're a former wrestler - a sport where careful control of eating and weight is of paramount importance so you presumably have a lot of experience with modulating nutrition and weight within narrow bounds. Given your experience what works for you may very well not work at all for others.

> In late 2017, GE discovered he had saved about 400
files on his desktop computer using encryption software
not used by the company

Encrypting personal file on your laptop is probably an improper use of the company resources. But this might not be necessarily criminal. What if the guy had only encrypted his vacation pictures ?

However, you can not just go and say "Hey can you decrypt these files for us" because he will understand he got caught and can argue that he encrypted them but that was for additional safety, and it did not send or sold them.

So you want to caught him sending the data out of the company to be sure to indict/convict him. And that's what they did.

If this indeed evolved into a stand alone, curated app store like Steam pre 2016 with a 88/12 revenue split it could indeed shake up Android game distribution. Mobile in general and Android in particular is such a brutal market for small indie developers. Epic could pull a Valve here.
The problem is, the purpose of cookies isn't tracking, they're a hack to maintain state between requests for what's supposed to be a stateless protocol (and until HTML5 came along with session storage and local storage, they were the only way to do that in the browser.) So cookies are useful (and often used) for purposes besides tracking and advertising.

Having cookies be opt-in by default would just punish anyone using cookies for benign purposes.
Almost all index funds participate in share lending. Vanguard does, and almost 100% of income is returned to shareholders. Blackrock's iShares does this too, and Blackrock keeps ~20-30%. As far as I know, Vanguard's expense ratio for their total market fund (VSTAX) is effectively 0% after income from share lending.

No they wouldn't have gone out of business.

Futures is a zero-sum game, for every dollar lost there is another one won. In the worst case, they would have taken all the profits from the other traders and used them to offset this losing trader.
GDPR compliance can not be done by opt-out, if consent is required, it requires opt-in - recital 32 (https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-32/) "Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act [...]", "Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute consent."

No matter what your notifications and T&C says, the default UX path where the user clicks "meh, whatever, go on" until the popup disappears won't give the site any legal consent to use data because informed, specific, freely given opt-in consent didn't happen.

I adhere to a eat nothing diet. Then after I have starved, I am awakened and I gouge myself to death. The cycle then restarts. The powers that be make sure I don't die cause who's gonna do a quickening on the highlander if I do ?
I think it’s worth considering what a healthy diet really is. Is it really healthy or are we just used to thinking it’s healthy?

As an example, a diet high in fat is generally considered by most people to be unhealthy.

You see people doing Keto and you start wondering if it’s really unhealthy.

Eating red meat is considered to be the unhealthy. You see people doing ZeroCarb diets and they (at least) look extremely good/healthy.

Fasting is generally considered unhealthy. You have people doing intermittent fasting, ADF or extended fasting at it works exceptionally well for them.

Vegan? It works really well for some people.

IMHO there isn’t one thing that works for everyone as far as diet goes. There are also the theoretical and the practical aspects of what we eat and when we it it.

I think everyone should try different things and figure out something that works for them, long term. It should not be a “diet”. It should be just something that blends into your lifestyle and gives you results for the investment you’re making.
Would you please edit the personal swipes out of your comments here? Leading with those (like you did here and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17679652) sets discussion in a poisonous key, and we're trying for better than that here.

I've always found fasting easier by shifting the eating window to the end of the day rather than the beginning, i.e., doing all the eating after 5PM for a nice big dinner. I've found that the initial fast-breaking in the morning seems to be what triggers hunger soon thereafter around lunch time, whereas not breaking the fast in the morning seems to make it easier to coast through most of the workday without feeling any hunger.
One lesson, imo, is the cost of outsourcing critical services, that are difficult to quantify, when comparing the cost of doing something in-house or not. Had the security guards been part of the team working at the museum (instead of a rotating team covering multiple clients), they would likely have absorbed knowledge and had an immediate reaction to the missing pieces.

The thieves were still moving around the streets with the paintings on a night without much traffic while the security guards were unsure whether a theft had occurred. Had the police begun canvassing the area immediately, they likely would have been caught or at least become suspects immediately. Instead of weeks later.
The USA isn’t in the EU, though of course there’s quite a few treaties and agreements in place. But frankly, the worldwide dominance of US companies coupled with their comparative lack of tax burden in other countries starts to grate on us over here (Australia in my case), rightly or wrongly. It’s not felt that they’re paying their fair share.
We may not be able to definitively know all societal consequences, be we can certainly predict some of them.
Fidelity has pledged that all securities revenue will return to the fund and not Fidelity itself, so no, that isn't the way they (claim, anyway) will make money.

> "Fidelity is not receiving any revenue from the Fidelity ZERO Index funds for securities lending. Nor is Fidelity currently receiving any portion of the income that is generated from securities lent out." --Fidelity August 1, 2018

However, their securities lending practice is significantly less efficient than Vanguard: their total stock market index fund returned only 40% of securities lending revenue to the fund while Vanguard returned 94%. The difference there is in broker rebates -- how much of the interest on loan collateral posted by the borrower goes back to the borrower. For some reason Vanguard seems to be doing a much better job on this (possibly Fidelity is much more aggressive in loaning out shares so receives less benefit).

If the US government really wanted those loopholes closed on its corporations, they'd close. But just like Wall Street regulations, higher taxes for the mega rich, etc. this would totally go against the interests of those who actually control politicians. And I'm not saying "Big tech controls the government", but obviously all big corporations play this game, and some of them absolutely do. Tech companies are just rightfully doing everything legally in their power to increase profit and shareholder value. So it isn't going to happen, no matter how much they pretend to be upset about it. It's all working as expected.
you are just making a point, but I'll take it seriously for a moment.

I think that handles can be provocative, and some are certainly chosen to do psychological harm (e.g. to racial minorities). If I had known you, and known that you would be triggered by this name, and that the harm was substantial, I would have some culpability, especially if I chose it with the intent of triggering you. But I didn't know you, and I didn't know that you would be triggered, and I did not intend to trigger you, and I had no way of knowing it would trigger anyone, nor a reasonable expectation that it would. And so there is really no culpability.
It creates silos.

We do this on occasion, sometimes people are out, and there's just a few of us around.

I _never_ see social interaction when people do that via chat. It's the same thing as just updating your ticket.
I noticed that reddit now has three separate "use our app" prompts, which don't seem to communicate so they can all appear on the same page. There's the loading-in system popup, the bottom-of-screen one, and the internal popup with a picture and two choices.

And then the bottom-bar one, instead of having two buttons, makes the entire field open the app store except for a tiny 'x' in the top right. Talk about unsubtle dark patterns.
I agree but have a bit different take...

"For instance, machine learning is now widely used for surveillance and advertising in ways that violate basic presumptions about privacy rights."

Those same mathematical techniques are also being used to more accurately detect cancer in MRI scans. Saying everyone needs to be held responsible for second order effects is unrealistic and ultimately damaging to society. Blaming the toolmaker for things they cannot control will only cause no tools to be made.

To me it points to a larger issue in our society that we are on a trend of completely removing context. Context no longer matters, what matters are the effects, regardless of whether you can reasonably be held accountable for them or not. It is thought-crime induced by those who in the same breath rail against that totalitarian behavior and then skip to implementing a version of it themselves.

A number of people on this thread immediately jump to the argument on surveillance and data privacy which is a useful discussion but tangential to what is being proposed in the original article. The article is moral hand-wringing with zero clarity or practicality. And the judge of who is culpable or not is left to a hysterical press, driven by a hysterical and sometimes uninformed public.

Look at what this behavior has done to political (and personal) discourse. Now imagine it being applied to science. No thank you.

Another attempt to privatize politics? Before the bulimic state, people would vote for a party that promised law to force a end to perceived hostile behavior.
