I think your interpretation is correct. In particular, I think that your first two quotes from the text are saying that the "personal or household" user themselves has no obligations under the GDPR. It's coherent to include social networking in here; without that clause, a child writing on Facebook about how another child smells bad would presumably themselves be a data controller and subject to an erasure request, whereas with the clause, Facebook can be compelled by a regulator to remove the post but the child who posted it cannot.

Or at least that's my interpretation. Like you, I remain uncertain and troubled.
I've been there many times. First thing you need to do is managing the anxiety of "doing it wrong" that can be paralyzing.

Errors are the most enriching part of the process and can provide valuable lessons and make you closer to your goal. So don't be afraid to start. Just do it.

Prototyping can be handy to test a few concepts before investing your time coding. invisionapp.com is my fav tool. You can even share the prototype with a group of your target audience/users to get feedback.

If you want to go deeper and learn more about how to focus on your project priorities and productivity, I strongly recommend these books:

It's gotten to the point where I won't buy from sellers with names that look like they're from a password generator set to "letters only, human pronounceable"

I did send amazon fraud dept a detailed email about my experiences and the new company selling the exact same items.

Amazon needs to have a vastly larger fraud department staffed with actual humans, instead of automated systems that people can game very easily.

Or offer bounties to customers for successful fraud removals. Although people would probably game that too.
Perhaps I spent too much of my youth watching supermarket-themed game shows, but I'm very much in tune with how much things should cost in supermarkets, and how they vary from chain to chain and region to region.

It was for that reason I started buying my household stuff at Amazon — because I could save a buck or two, per item, which adds up.

Then — as you pointed out — stuff got weird. Amazon's prices became consistently higher than the supermarkets.

Then the third-party sellers started using "AI" pricing, so that a package of soap bars that is $3.59 at Safeway is $61 on Amazon.

Then the counterfeits arrived, and now my family has a policy of not buying anything from Amazon that goes on, or in, our bodies.

These days there are bargains to be had through Amazon, but only through the two-hour shipping from Whole Foods. At least in my market. (A particular cheese that is $15/pound at Kroger is $5/pound when I get it delivered from my local Whole Foods.)

It's not too late to Amazon to regain trust. But it's not going to be a quick or easy process.
GoDaddy made me angry earlier this summer when it broke domain forwarding when they added shortlinks. All my URLs instantly broke. Customer support said it was by design.

You are trying to make this into more than it is.

The principle that some things are too small to be concerned about is a long-standing legal tradition, hence de minimis and so on.

In my own country, the UK, many rules do not fully apply to very small businesses and various extra allowances are made financially, precisely because imposing the same rules on a five-person start-up as a 2,500-person international corporation may be disproportionate.

There is nothing at all unusual or naive about this. It's done all the time. It's just not something the EU in particular has ever been very good at understanding or dealing with. For example, by their own admission, several of the key officials involved in the VAT changes a few years ago literally did not realise that many thousands of microbusinesses that would also be covered by the new rules even existed, nor that the new rules would essential cause them to not exist any more. The new copyright regime we're talking about here is a different context but still has the same underlying problem.
I also had this experience once a few years ago (2011 or 2012). I found it extremely suspicious and spent a few days running a some experiments. I came up with a list of domains and watched what happened after a GoDaddy search: some (but not all) of my domains were suddenly purchased by a GoDaddy organization. Literally all of the ones that were purchased were available again after a few days (I assume this has to do with the grace period).

Since then I don't type any candidate domain into any registrar / online tool unless I'm ready to purchase.
There's no reason to think that issue even exists - Khosla certainly doesn't mention it, nor do the court fillings - so why do you assume there's anything for the journalist to investigate?

> 'I'd think a billionaire with $1 million worth of cryptocurrency would be less incentivized than someone with no other "wealth" but $10k worth of cryptocurrency.'

Precisely. And in the context of this discussion, almost all crypto is held by people who have most of their wealth in crypto (e.g. 97% held by 4% of addresses) - using the percentages in your example, there aren't any crypto billionaires who have a trillion in cash. Linking this back to the original point, the are forced to keep most of their wealth in crypto because if they sold large amounts they would crash the market, hence one of the reasons for the need for new buyers so they can sell in a trickle.

> 'Also, the people with the most non-cryptocurrency wealth are going to be most empowered to take "protective" action. The "cryptocurrency wealth' is tied up in cryptocurrency...'

If you've a billion US$ worth of crypto, selling the odd million US$ worth to fund whatever you need to do in order to sustain the scheme (or "build the ecosystem" to use the euphemism) isn't a big issue. Not to mention that in many cases the people you are paying have been converted into "true believers" (perhaps even as a result of your own earlier efforts) and can therefore be paid in crypto.
To be fair, the original article was very salty as well.
> These days, I feel like I'm in a twilight zone where 'wealth creation' is happening by putting a fresh face on 3rd-world country business models.

Or maybe making those that scale well more accessible and socially accepted in the service economy. Is there maybe some source that you've read, someone who has analyzed that statement (3rd-world country business models = gig economy) in more detail? I don't have much time to dig but if there was a thesis or article about this I'd be super interested in reading it.

I think you often can't if it's got a reply on it. Your best bet is to edit it. My suggestion is to append a note to it instead of completely removing it or changing it, since that alters the record of what really happened, and causes replies to no longer make sense.

Adding something like "Edit: Whoops, was just trying to note X, but it didn't come across right." would be sufficient, but it's up to you. To my knowledge, you have until two hours after posting to edit it, so time's running out...
I've heard very similar advice for non-SSD mirrors too. Use different manufacturers or, at the very least, use different batches of disks from the same manufacturer.
The reason people are so anti-arbitration is that the decision of arbitrators is more based on which side of their bread is buttered and that seriously colors their decisions. An arbiter who rules against somebody is more likely to be rejected by that entity in the next arbitration.

Thus it works between two small guys that will not likely encounter the arbiter again. However, when there are big fish involved there's a strong bias towards ruling for the big fish, the guy who rules for the small fish too much finds himself unemployed.

When it's between two big fish the decisions will take the middle of the road. This causes big troubles with union vs government arbitration--the union simply doubles it's demands and will end up on average getting what it asked for. Right or wrong doesn't really enter into it.

For practical purposes for the little guy vs big guy arbitration means don't bother unless you have a slam dunk smoking gun.

FWIW, GoDaddy isn't the only site I've seen do this. I had the same issue a couple years ago when I tried to use Google Domains to find a domain for my website. At the time I was trying a few and found, to my delight, that nothingofvalue.com was available.

I started the process of purchasing it and then got scared when it came time to list my personal address for ownership. I stopped for about an hour to call my father to see if he would mind if I used his PO Box as the address. When I went back to redo/complete the registration, I was told the domain had been purchased by someone else.

For the next year or two, I checked it periodically, just to see if anyone had actually built a page of it. Nope. Just squatting.

I purchased nothingofvalue.org instead and have had it ever since. I also transferred the domain to Namecheap.

I'd be interested in the numbers on this. To get a rough number, I typed "data scientist" "San Francisco, CA" into indeed.com and it's reporting 2,832 job listings.

So of those 2,832 openings that companies are trying to fill, how many employers are out actively recruiting candidates based on their github profiles?

It seems to me that Github / social coding is an interesting mix of networking (the social kind) and coding (which demonstrates abilities), but like most networking, it's only one of many ways into the door, and it's unclear how many of the 2,832 positions will be filled via that particular flavor of networking. My guess is that it's the minority.
I paid for my car. I still have to pay for gas on a regular basis. I still have to pay tolls on many roads and highways.

I paid for a CD once, a long time ago. I still had to pay for electricity for the stereo. And that damn greedy electric company chose to charge me more for listening to it when I wanted to. Sure, I could have played my music from midnight to 6am, to take advantage of my evil utility's lower rates at night, but I chose to listen during the day.

That utility was really evil, too. I wanted to install an electrically powered utility in my old house. It was a dryer. But they made me go out and find some third party to "prepare my electrical network" for the product I had already purchased. I had to find an electrician to come and install a 240V circuit in my house. I already pay for electricity, but they couldn't even be arsed to come fix my wiring for me.

Don't get me wrong. I love net neutrality. But I don't think my preferences should be enforced upon the entire population. I also hate fishing. I don't care for tripe. But I also don't try to enforce that preference on others.

This is a case of c) Reporters were completely reckless. They bought a small 0402 decoupling capacitor, put it on pencil tip, and then claimed that it was a chip that could hack your device.

Any EE worth their salt knows exactly what 0402 decoupling capacitors do, and that there's no way you can hack from that angle. It has to do where that particular chip is placed: usually on power-lines... not really signal-traces.

The fact that all known security forces are denying the story (not just big companies like Apple... but also Homeland Security), means that the reporters likely misunderstood what their sources were trying to say. They published a bad story, exaggerating a molehill into a mountain.

-----------

The thing is: we all know that BMCs are very insecure. A lot of the problem is that the Bloomberg article is pointing at lol 0402 decoupling capacitors, when any security researcher worth their salt is looking at the BMC instead.

There are too many technical details in the Bloomberg article that were outright WRONG. Its a clear cut case of reporters misunderstanding things and focusing on the wrong thing.

I expect out of print stuff to fetch a high price, I'm more talking about standard grocery items. I've seen ridiculous markups on penne pasta, diet soda, certain brands of hand-soap, etc etc.

Some of these items, like the pasta, are things I'd previously ordered from Amazon for a fraction of the current price. Which, again, has caused me to be much more cautious—every time I reorder something nowadays, I have to check whether the price has changed. How does Amazon expect people to use stuff like the dash button when prices can vary this much?
Supply and demand. If the high-traffic areas are oversupplied, the best strategy is to find an underserved low-traffic market. For example, dentists in rural areas make more money than dentists in cities (on average), because most dentists prefer to live in the city.

I have seen some weird issues with SSDs. I had an OCZ Vertex 2 die on me multiple times, but one thing that stood out most is that after a power cycle or complete system shutdown (note: reboots were just fine) everything I had done last time - install software, update Windows, create files - was gone. The state was reverted to before the time it booted. It was like my computer contained some kind of Reborn chip, except it was the Sandforce controller malfunctioning.

1. Don't use anything Microsoft, use Figma or XD. Figma is free for individuals, and XD is part of Creative Cloud.

2. This is a good start, but if she wants to get into UX she should start by reading articles at Neilsen Norman[0], UX Planet[1], or Interaction Design

3. See #1, although frankly it pays to do wireframes on paper before even touching a mouse/trackpad.

4. I would say at this point that HTML/CSS is a "nice to have" skill. I believe that Figma now contains a basic interaction design suite (i.e. tap, swipe, scroll) that lets you go between different screens.

5. I'd say to stick with learning how/when different charts should be used rather than trying to jump into something like HighCharts or D3.

Remote or not, you typically have to trust employees to not leak your source. Most SaaS companies don't have an issue with employees trying to sell trade secrets to competitors, so they don't need strict controls.

I can't edit my comment above any longer, but for the benefit of those who are downvoting:

The point is that there may be multiple lawful bases for collecting the same personal data and it may be used for multiple purposes. The fact that consent was one of those bases does not necessarily convey a right to erasure if others still apply after consent is withdrawn.

Moreover, given that one of the other lawful bases for processing is the infamous "legitimate interest" umbrella, which could cover almost anything or almost nothing depending on subjective interpretation, the whole situation is quite ambiguous.
