"The GDPR is the first data privacy regime that foresees heavy fines for serious violations - of up to 4 percent of a company’s global turnover."

What would happen if a company decided that 4 percent of turnover is much cheaper than properly securing all of their data, and just chooses to pay the fine every year?

Speaking as a former bike racer, cycling does not build muscles unless you are already wildly out of shape. Pedaling in a tall gear still isn't much resistance, typically less than body weight.

Muscle is built only by getting near the limit of musclular strength. Cycling only challenges your cardiovascular system. I always squatted and deadlifted to get better at sprints. Other racers who were climbing specialists had skinnier legs than the average man, yet they could climb hills incredibly fast.
Artificial Stupidity
Laws that limit development benefit developers. The few that develop get to develop something that fetches an inflated market value due to low supply and high demand. It's the same way dairy "supply management" in Canada gets dairy farmers a higher price for milk.
This is a big difference between the two. I'm totally ok with Japanese zoning, if we get Japanese depreciation and all housing is required to become worthless after 2 decades.

However, YIMBYs only want half of that -- they want Japanese zoning, with American infinite appreciation. Which is disastrous to basically everyone who works for a living.

> How do I do that as a decentralized website?

Well, depends on what you mean by decentralized and whether you meant distributed instead. If your use case allows centralization that you control, just put it on your always-on home computer and expose it as an onion service over Tor. The more infrastructure requirements you have (e.g. HA, load balancing, backups, etc) the larger the burden of course.

Of course, if it must be distributed/decentralized using others' resources (beyond just disk space), this is not a very mature area and the app has to be written to take advantage of the limited options that do exist.

What was "obvious" about it? Here's how Google introduced it: "Inbox by Gmail is a new app from the Gmail team. Inbox is an organized place to get things done and get back to what matters. Bundles keep emails organized."

Do you see anything about it being an "experiment" to eventually throw away? Not to mention Gmail already had the Labs feature for experiments.

In fact, what 2 Google representatives had said at the time was:

""We hope, in the long run, that most of our users will be on Inbox." (Alex Gawley)

"We care deeply about Gmail and Gmail users, but in the long run, as we add more features to Inbox and respond to user feedback, we hope that everyone will want to use Inbox instead of Gmail. Ultimately, our users will decide." (Jason Cornwell, Inbox's lead designer)

I think by now it would be worth for Google to re-think their branding strategy. How about releasing new experimental products off-brand? Google by now has a reputation of discontinuing products (some very vocal) users love.

This makes it very difficult for new Google-branded products to gain traction. Especially if the onboarding is costly & discontinuation would hurt a lot (e.g. Google Cloud, Dart, productivity apps, …).
5 Promoted Content Lessons from Spending $4,008.13 in 4 Weeks
The UK Government has said GDPR will continue to apply after Brexit, and passed the laws to make that the case.

http://www.blplaw.com/expert-legal-insights/articles/gdpr-an...

The official reason given being: "Over 70% of all trade in services are enabled by data flows, meaning that data protection is critical to international trade."

While Britain is on course to leave the EU (one specific body), it will continue to co-operate at a European (continent) level in all sorts of ways. Common data protection legislation being one example.

I'm curious though why Brave chose Britain and Ireland as the two places to complain. Maybe because English speaking?

Ask HN: What is the best solution for storing and serving user uploaded video?
I am working on an app where users can upload few minutes long videos. This is my first time I am building something like this and I wanted some advice on how I should go about implementing it. I understand storing media in DB is not the ideal solution and using something like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage would be better. So what should I know before making a decision? It would be a youtube style app where certain users can upload videos and everyone can check it out. The current tech stack I am leaning towards is a NodeJs app with PSQL and Firebase Cloud Storage for storing the actual media files. Does this sound sensible? what are my other options?

It's based on (nonsensical) comments the then home secretary Amber Rudd made in relation to "banning" end-to-end encryption.

Give the exact quote a Google for a laugh. It really is the most nonsense anyone has ever fit into a single sentence.

Summary: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/ne...
I’m with you, and I think this is an important part of the discussion so I hope people will make space for it. Pot, alcohol, even mushrooms can be dangerous psychologically. Society must address this.

However I don’t think this has any bearing on legalization. Whether something should be illegal is a different question than whether it is harmful.

If prohibition, in practice, will cause intolerable side effects, then it’s not a just policy. Even if we agree that the prohibited behavior is destructive.

It’s also not universally true that prohibition even decreases the prohibited behavior. Especially with teenagers it can sometimes have the opposite effect.

I am against abortion bans, not because I think abortion is harmless, but because I think prohibition has terrible effects.

Lastly, there are positive effects of a general culture of freedom. Freedom to make mistakes, not just freedom within a set of formally approved activities. We are able as a group to more effectively explore the space of safe activities if we allow personal exploration of unsafe activities to a degree.

This is why some people advocate not for prohibition of all harmful activities, but prohibition only of those that harm non-consensual participants. It’s illegal to hit your domestic partner. It’s legal to hit your sparring partner at the gym. That’s not because hitting is harmless (it’s not). It’s because many of us think the law is best suited to dampen harmful non-consensual activities, while other means (ministry, fellowship, etc) are more effective means to dampen consensual harmful activity.

That doesn't change the substance of what I said. All of those 20th-century Utopian visions that killed so many people were of government solving problems that it can't solve. Even if there are some problems governments can solve (one example David Friedman gives as a possibility in his book is national defense), trying to keep governments limited to just solving those problems has never worked.

So long there is a hardware input source (usb) it's impossible to guarantee security, this is the reality. There is not a single device with an input source such as USB that is secure. Physical access guarantees lack of security.

I'd like to respond, as a developer on the Brave project. We don't simply replace ads with other ads. The entire ad landscape has been co-opted by those who aim to collect as much data about you as is possible.

Over 600 million devices were running some form of ad-blocking software in 2017, and that was an increase of 30% from the year prior. This number keeps growing, year over year. Something has to be done.

Users who come to Brave are already blocking ads. They understand the risk involved in letting third-party software collect information about them, their person, their browsing habits, and more. Further, the risk of drive-by downloads is on the rise (or the growing popularity of crypto-jacking).

Brave blocks ads and trackers for safety and privacy reasons. But we are not so naive to miss the impact this has on well-meaning publishers. This is why we created the User Growth Pool, and the Brave Payments system. Every month we pour hundreds of thousands of dollars back into the pockets of content creators by way of BAT (Basic Attention Token) grants, distributed freely to users of the Brave browser.

But grants won't last forever, something sustainable has be erected in place of the incumbent digital advertising system. This is where Brave Ads comings into play.

For users who opt in, Brave can deliver better quality ads, without the risk of personal data leakage. We do this by using local machine-learning to understand the user better, and making local decisions as to which ads should or should not be shown, and when (the user controls all of this). Furthermore, the user gets 70% of the ad revenue for browser-private ads.

When you consider the amount of money lost to digital ad fraud each year (over $20,000,000,000 I believe), you can see how the Brave system would lead to a much better, and more sustainable future for the web.

We're not simply replacing ads. We're rescuing an industry.
Raising a kid is a full time job. I think the standard deductions for dependents should be way higher than 4k. If you look at some of the projects in cost to raise a kid, it is huge.
To add to that, Basque is not even Indo-European, let alone Latinate. And Breton is a Brythonic Celtic language (as opposed to the Goidelic branch, home to Gaelic) similar to Welsh and Cornish.
Another approach could be to build a brand around their 'enterprise' offerings with SLAs & LTS and make it more explicit which products are covered and which aren't.
You sure about that? The XS is smaller than the XR.
There is no evidence the Cr is meant as a replacement, it’s just the bottom of the flagship models.

I think it’s more likely the 7 or 8 are seen as the replacement. They’re smaller (than the X series) and cheaper.
Thanks. As I recall, AWP for some generics was way more that 100 times actual prices paid by pharmacies. And even WAC for some was on the order of 100 times actual prices paid by pharmacies. Generic manufacturers were actually competing on spreads for AWP and WAC vs actual prices. Because, when there are several manufacturers, actual generic prices approach marginal cost of production.

I had no clue that Medicare was still using AWP and WAC for pharmacy-dispensed drugs. That's too stupid for words. But it seems that Medicaid has figured it out.

Size is really just a marketing term at this point. Intel "10nm" is about the same as TSMC "7nm". Size of various features is roughly the same between the two. Global Foundries decided to not touch this cycle (at least for the short term). Samsung also decided to slow their pursuit of "7nm" and focus on "8nm".

I've always preferred groups of 2-6 people. Many board games are made for groups of this size.

On one side, humans can mentally cope with 4-6 objects at most - as though we have 4-6 memory slots, which is reasonable given that we have 4 limbs.

On another side, network effects of nodes on a grid become unmanageable above about 6 nodes - a group of 6 people will have 36 one-on-one interpersonal relationships to manage.
It's the story of many local languages / dialects in many other countries too.

I'm not sure why people blame Wal-Mart if their employees take food stamps. This is really the fault of poorly-written policy. It blows my mind why people blame Wal-Mart and not the folks who developed the legislation of those policies.

That aside, I'm sorry but you're just wrong about this. The data is pretty unequivocal: larger firms have more scope for investments in process, technology, and tools that lets them operate more efficiently. In the example of Wal-Mart, they run an ultra-efficient supply chain that minimizes breakage, makes sure popular goods are available for purchase, etc.

Whereas half the time when I go into a non-chain grocery, they're out of, or otherwise not stocking the thing I want, they're closed, the item isn't in the right place on the shelf, it's hidden in the "back room", a supplier is late, or there's some other problem. Sure, some of this is due to bargaining power, but Wal-Mart also operates at a scale where they can afford to invest billions in sophisticated merchandising systems. As software people, we should understand what a difference this stuff makes to business.

Small firms pay worse because they simply don't make as much, given the same level of sales, as large firms do. The argument is a complete strawman. Lower, less-efficient firms don't have the gross profits (price - cost of goods sold) to be able to afford higher wages, even if they wanted to.
