> Can you explain to me how the deletion policies work?

Disclaimer: The GDPR hasn't been the law of the land for a year, so there is little precedent.

It is fairly simple, the GDPR requires that companies that control identifying information about you (or somehow delegate this), have acceptable reasons for doing so (user consent/other law/etc). When some entity controls your information the GDPR gives you certain rights. The key point here is that the company is controlling your information not you, whereas the scrapbook is under your control. The loss of control of the information creates in my mind a moral obligation to treat it a certain way. One of the rights that the GDPR confers on the data-subject is the having data deleted, this right is not absolute and if you have any other grounds (e.g. AML regulation) for keeping the data then you don't have to delete it. Additionally, deletion doesn't have to be immediately consistent, so you won't have to go into old backups and delete the data there.

TL;DR: If someone asks you to remove something, just delete it from your SQL database, and that's it.

There are two key costs for startups implementing the GDPR:

1. Privacy by Design - Make some efforts to design the information systems in your company in a way that promotes privacy.
2. Demonstrating compliance - This tasks scales with company size, you might start out with a boilerplate privacy policy, but as you grow want to be more diligent.
archive.fo gives me a SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP error, consistently from that latest Firefox release. Might be a good idea to enable TLS1.0 on that site?
> If you ask for your data to be deleted does that include your address in my contacts?

If that address is visible to you because I gave you access to my data, then yes.

If that address is visible to you because I gave it to you and you put it there by yourself, then no.

> Does it include your messages to me?

No. Messages I wrote to you are yours. I gave them to you. You can keep them. They get deleted when/if you ask for your account to be deleted.

> Does it include your posts that appeared on my feed?

Yes. My posts are mine. If I make them public or share them with you, you can look at them, copy them, do what you want with them (depending on the license). If I remove my account they get deleted from my account. If you made a copy for yourself, you can keep the copy.

> It's not clear to me how those are handled by the GDPR and at what point things sent digitally from you to me end being my property and no longer your property.

Anyone else find it strange that this person worked in sales for one company which called itself a startup despite being nearly two decades old but keeps making these sweeping generalizations about startups and tech?

> Here was the biggest surprise about working in tech: even though everyone wears their team T-shirts and hoodies, rah-rah chants at the monthly all-staff meetings and competes for the sombrero of shame at the tropical off-site, no one loves the start-up they work for. No one feels secure. No one is loyal. There’s no certainty your start-up will exist in a year—or next week.

I can testify from personal experience all of these generalizations are false. Did it never occur to the author that maybe they were just being exploited by a crappy company?
I find that a lot of companies that refer to themselves as being bearers of startup culture, is mostly trying to cater to younger people or at least a young mindset - not because they're necessarily trying to hide insane working hours or demands. Sometimes it truly is about passion and keeping a "beginner's mind". Definitely not for everyone, but to me it feels very inspiring and empowering.

(I work for 15+ year company that like to view itself as a startup - but the partying is definitely optional)

Good comment, except I'd point out that plenty of creativity and invention gets employed in the service of rent-seeking: e.g. most of academic economics, and the way it gets used politically.

Building ML projects at home is nothing like building a box to building a shed; it's more like building a shed to building a house.

Sure, building a house is more complicated, but you won't be building that house alone, and if someone hired you to build a house because you were good at building sheds, I'm sure you'll start your job as a junior house builder, not master architect.
node is a JavaScript runtime, it has no rendering component, and—more notably—no DOM or any other equivalents to many browser APIs in its core API. This would mean you would have to emulate the browser environment with many 3rd-party implementations which are unlikely to match a modern, complex browser in aggregate.
This is one of his worst videos. Shallow fearmongering based on long debunked popular myths. Really sad how far he has fallen from his previous days of making quality content.
That's literally the only redeeming aspect of ad-driven model I'm aware of. It's good you point this out, personally I don't have good alternatives if one were to just burn advertising industry to the ground (something I fantasize about).

Still, advertising is a Red Queen's race; once a party achieves some advancement (like animated ads, video ads, tracking, etc.), everyone else has to follow suit. The relative situation of player is ultimately unchanged, but the baseline is more user-hostile. So there's plenty of possibility for regulators to simply roll adtech back to 1990s, and advertisers would still make their money.
The web is also started out as a distributed filesystem; it's just not replicated (unless you use a cdn). In the begining the web had no cookies, javascript, animated gifs, etc. So, ipfs adds resilience and scaling to the web.

Using ipfs for serving up static content instead of a traditional http server can make a lot of sense. Long term browsers might learn to interface with ipfs directly and simply specify hashes of what to fetch in their dynamic content.

Eventually that too might be content addressed. If you think about a modern docker based system, basically all you tell your server is an image name and a version tag that points to some content hash of the image it then goes and figures out what to run. Right now mostly you still get that stuff running on dedicated hardware provisioned ahead of time. But with e.g. lambda's that is less of a thing and the code gets provisioned to hardware just in time.

Building a docker registry against ipfs probably isn't rocket science and it wouldn't surprise me if that hadn't been done already. Scripts in a browser are just files, so they could come from ipfs. Sessions are often ids or hashes identifying something in a DB. That could be a file in ipfs instead or in a distributed db on top of ipfs. Not saying all of that is a good idea but ipfs can be a bit more than just a file distribution mechanism.

I just read the GP post again and I don't see anywhere he indicated his nationality. I understand this legislation is stressful and it may cause you to need something to lash out on but bashing someone's imagined country of origin isn't going to change anything and misdirected anger will probably only make you feel worse.

Furthermore, many of the posters I've seen criticizing the GDPR law have in fact claimed to be citizens of EU countries.

Addendum: I find it disheartening that I wrote this to help the parent poster recognize his misplaced anger and to state facts yet some other people also in an apparent act of misplaced anger/sadness/frustration take the time to down vote me. Hacker News you are better than this.

So could it be an alternative client that uses straw-man accounts to cash in every time the hoarder charges a scooter, occasionally using some of the spoils to buy them a "free" ride? That would be fascinatingly twisted: make your accomplices think they are part in an entirely different kind of crime than they are. Even more twisted (but not as creative) if it's an inside job to get a larger slice of the VC pie.

Odd path here. I did EE and ended up writing software. All my peers who did mechanical engineering, control systems and law actually ended up writing software as well. All roads lead to software in 2018!
Drive doesn't have the dumb "shared and yet marked as private" superposition of user intent flags that g+ profiles do.

The technical constraints that protect data are pretty solid, and I have no concern at all about any kind of generalized breach or exposure with one of Google's core data systems like drive, docs, and Gmail. But looking at the sharing configuration for g+, it's just not intuitive what's shared and with whom, because the states seem to contradict each other.

You can have proper technical controls managing your permissions only if you can articulate what those permissions are supposed to be. And you can't just v2 the API with a better sharing model because users have already expressed their intent using the old model. You'd have to reacquire user intent, which is basically a non-starter.

So either you put up with a crap sharing model which is impossible to get right, or you delete everything and start over. It's no wonder they're killing it.

Only if you only view the scooters as a "hazard" and an "eyesore". An alternate interpretation (even if you're rightfully skeptical of for-profit venture-funded startups like these) is that the scooters are a fairly sustainable and scalable form of individual transit compared to cars, and a world where scooters (or similar devices) fulfill a useful last-mile role in public transit is one that's beneficial for society and civic infrastructure.

Did the company also pay 10x the market rates?

Of course not, because they aren't really hiring 10x programmers (whatever that is), they are just hiring low self-esteem people, slap the 10xer label on them, strap them on the hamster wheel and work them to death.

It's a bit like the series "The Good Place" -- "heeeyyyy we only hire 10xers, you're a 10xer, aren't you proud? Right, now go prove you're a 10xer by working your butt off".
Thank you for not answering my question.
>> The replacement cost becomes a key metric when presenting a counter offer to an employee who got a better offer elsewhere.

Do not forget that replacement cost the first few months to about half year is quite high. You are far less profitable to a company if you are new as you take time of others and are less up-to-speed. But that never gets taken into account when dealing with pay increases for retained employees. E.g. you should get significantly more than a new hire if you are with the company for longer as it usually a benefit. Though there are counter examples to this statement, so it is various shades of gray between new hires and paying retained employees more.
The "EU" as a market is only important to the largest players or as an after thought once you have a solid footing in e.g. the US for one simple reason. The EU has too many languages so you can't just target the entire population in one shot like you can in single language even larger economy in America. Even if you wanted to target the entire EU, in my personal experience I can tell you that some web services work well in a place like Germany yet fail hard in France so most small to mid-level players are only going to go in places where they make the most money and it may be years before they ever end up in say Italy or the Netherlands. All that adds up to the EU regulations having a much smaller impact on most startups than you seem to believe. And that impact will be zero on the ones who look at the regulatory landscape as it exists now and just decide to stay out.

> Of course people learn with experience, and luckily redoing things in software development is cheap compared with when building houses. But that’s the only reason we get away with it.

Here in software, we've turned that into a positive thing and made a philosophy out of it. How do you know the toilet shouldn't be in the kitchen? Maybe the users like it? You know what, the data actually shows that in houses where the toilet is next to the kitchen stove, people spend (on average) more time in the living room, thus raising the core metric of happiness.
Problem with docked system is that it isn't nearly as handy.

Yeah, understandable; that's what I meant by the "let's ignore you need DOOM" part, because everything Romero made he's giving away free. So his business model is still "it's free digitally, but costs for the box set".

I think that the best way to view the deletion policy is to imagine what would happen if someone stole the data. If it is anything that could get you sued over then that is data that needed to be deleted.

This will likely cover a bit more than if it was physical objects. To be fair, most physical paper address books would not include millions/billions of addresses, and would unlikely be stolen by accident. The only one that has billions of paper letters are the post office which is regulated. The physical world is not very different to GDPR if one includes the context of how many book shelves of information is being stored on companies databases.
> nothing short of mandating FPGAs would tilt it any other way.

I can think of multiple alternatives that could be taken in isolation or combined.

- Regulating the market and splitting foundries from their IP developers (this may not even be necessary at this point)

- Funding development of a rich set of public-domain IP that could be used to build a common standard platform

- Direct all government purchases to be of such public-domain standards

- If necessary, fund capacity so that the foundry market remains competitive even in small runs.
I think those services exist as other people named a few.

Another issue is Shopify may not have that today, but it may have it tomorrow!

It's dangerous to build a missing feature of a giant because they may invalidate you overnight.

"ICE tries to find the best path to connect peers. It tries all possibilities in parallel and chooses the most efficient option that works. ICE first tries to make a connection using the host address obtained from a device's operating system and network card; if that fails (which it will for devices behind NATs) ICE obtains an external address using a STUN server, and if that fails, traffic is routed via a TURN relay server." (1)

Turn just proxies all the data instead of being p2p. p2p has to overcome NAT, which is why ice and stun exists. If it can't be p2p it'll be turn.

"STUN servers live on the public internet and have one simple task: check the IP:port address of an incoming request (from an application running behind a NAT) and send that address back as a response. In other words, the application uses a STUN server to discover its IP:port from a public perspective." (1)

4 Reasons why you should use SCSS in your next project
But this isn't a discussion about whether or not modals are good idea. The OP was arguing —without any idea what the mechanics are, I'm sure, because that's how we decide how technology works these days— that CSS should not be allowed to layer and position one thing over another.

Modals have a place, but like everything, they get abused by people with no idea about how things should work. But that isn't a good standalone argument for going back to pre-1997 CSS.
That seems to be precisely what you’re arguing throughout it. At the very least you’re arguing that it’s a non-issue.
Maybe they listed the highest market share? I didn't look but I wouldn't be suprised if these have the biggest. In order, too.

Or maybe they just listed the ones they use. If I did the same, it would look _very_ similar.
Similarly, the replacement cost of a new employer is also high for an employee if they have a family and don’t want to move and/or can’t gamble on the conditions at a new employer. I would say thaumasiotes is correct in saying an employee is paid what it would cost to replace them, in 99.9% of cases. Of course the buyer takes risks such as not finding as good of an employee, cost of training, legal risks of terminating or hiring, and the cost of the message it sends to others, but it’s still the same concept.

No buyer wants to pay more than they have to, hence when the value an employee adds is commoditized, you see that they get paid exactly what it costs to replace them, hence the minuscule pay and terrible work conditions of retail, restaurants, and hotels.
