It's broader than that. According to Recital 14, "The protection afforded by this Regulation should apply to natural persons, whatever their nationality or place of residence, in relation to the processing of their personal data".

It can't actually accomplish that goal, because the EU doesn't have the jurisdiction for that.

For controllers and processors that are in the Union, GDPR applies to their processing of personal data of people regardless of where those people are or what entities they are citizens of.

So, for example, as a US citizen residing in the US who has never set foot within about 7000 km of Europe, but has bought things from vendors in the EU, those vendors need to obey GDPR when dealing with my data.

For controller and processors that are not in the Union, the EU lacks the authority to enforce such a broad requirement on them. Instead, the requirement is that if the person whose data you are processing is "in the Union" and you are offering goods and services to them or monitoring their behavior as far as their behavior takes place within the Union, GDPR applies.

(Whether or not they can actually enforce that is still an open question).

Putting this all together, if I'm in the US, with users in the US, but having my server in the EU makes me count as being in the EU for GDPR purposes, then I have to obey GDPR when dealing with US users. If having my server in the EU doesn't do this, so that for GDPR purposes I'm in the US, then GDPR does not apply to my dealings with people in the US.
What specifically about the NYT as opposed to any other newspaper?

Opinion and editorial are explicitly not part of the newsroom and are published in a different section under a different heading. You may have some problems with the people they hire as opinion commentators but hiring opinionated commentators is absolutely part of the job of a good newspaper. Lefty types regularly make fun of NYT's conservative and centrist commentators, so it's not like they're loved by the left either.

For instance, I detest many of the WSJ's editorial stances but freely admit that they do some very good journalism, which I admire.

The NYT is not unblemished - cough cough the Iraq War cough cough Judith Miller cough, ahem.

I feel that your thesis is broken by definition: if there is such a small pool of people with this level of experience - so small that they are worth the money and are super difficult to replace - shouldn’t they have already made all their mistakes? Isn’t the board, by definition, paying for people who have a very high chance of making good decisions?

>You can turn your nose up at people's hobbies as much as you want, but playing games is no less mindless that most sports.

I don't watch sports at all; I think they're idiotic and mostly a waste of time. I'll make a few rare exceptions for things like winter olympics events (downhill skiing for instance).

But I don't think this is a great comparison. At least with sports, when you pay the fee to watch the game, that's it: you go (or sit, if it's pay-per-view), watch the game in its entirety, and you're done. You don't suddenly get your view obstructed at half-time and are then required to pay an additional fee to watch the rest. If sports got that ridiculous, then I'd be making fun of people who continued to patronize them too.

>A lot of consumers are not like me: the hype is too much and they don't care about the actual game as much as getting to play it with other people.

So they're happy to support the publishers who treat them this way, and make them highly profitable. I don't really see the problem here: why shouldn't the publishers act this way then? They can treat their customers poorly, the customers happily come back for more, and they make a boatload of money. Maybe they lose a few people like you, but apparently that's not a big problem for them because they're making so much money on everyone else who refuses to abandon them. What's more, it sounds like there are some publishers who still do things the "old way" (according to your post here), but since that list is "ever-shrinking" according to you, that means this just isn't that viable a business model, because they're losing to the publishers who treat the gamers poorly. The people are speaking with their wallets, and apparently they like being treated this way, even when they actually still have alternatives!
There are varying degrees of skill and competence in business analytics just like there are in software development.
To clarify, I'm not questioning the right to blasphemy. I just wanted to see how it was perceived in the West.

Although, having lived in the West for the better part of a decade, I don't see what progress we have made as society that you are so confident that right to blasphemy is no big deal. I am not saying we live in medieval England, but speech with zero consequence is not a thing yet.
I was actually just talking about the Ice Bucket Challenge the other day, in regards to unexpected side-effects of an otherwise shining campaign.

This viral challenge raised an unprecedented amount of money for awareness of ALS, as well as research and treatment. It was the first social media campaign of this type, and you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn't heard of it.

But it also created a very - weird - secondary effect.

It encouraged teenagers to dump ice-cold water on themselves on camera, and upload it to YouTube for attention.

You might see where this is going: Ice Bucket Challenges featuring teen girls were far more popular than any featuring men/boys. And the more revealing the girls' clothing, the more attention still.

This has actually lead to a variety of water-based "challenges" that serve no other purpose than to put a wet, partially-dressed child in front of a camera for long enough for a pedophile to "enjoy" it.

Now there are tens of thousands of generic "water challenge" and "pool challenge" videos that serve no altruistic purpose whatsoever. They exist just to attract views - and money.

Many of these channels are run by parents who film their own tween daughters in skimpy bikinis a few days a week for ad revenue. "Desafio da Piscina" ("Pool Challenge" in Portuguese) is one of the most prevalent, with almost all videos shot in Brazil.

I imagine that at $20USD/10k views, people in third-world countries can rake in a decent passive income selling sexualized videos of their children to the Internet.

Sad part is that YouTube lets this happen, because it earns them money too.
Those sites try as hard to be the minimalist side, mind-you. There's not nearly as many views as on Amazon/FB.
> The graphic shows 79 species of plant lost. Anyone that's been to Hawaii knows there are far more than 79 introduced plant species.

But these two things are not directly comparable. On the one hand, you have species that have gone extinct -- no individuals of these species are known to grow in the wild anymore. This does not count species that are declining towards extinction. On the other hand, most lists of introduced plants for Hawaii only count species that are invasive. These are plants that not only grow and reproduce in Hawaii, but whose populations are increasing.

While species diversity as a whole in the Hawaiian islands is likely increasing, due to introduced species, the diversity at smaller spatial scales is likely decreasing as endemics become rarer.

There's a far larger app ecosystem for Android without Play Services than any other mobile OS. It's very odd to try to claim that it doesn't have that problem. Android is truly a Linux distribution too, and is truly free software. You can promote your preferred mobile OS without making misleading claims.
The "good news" is that most people (those 40% of American households) are not the biggest emitters. One of the biggest emitters are us, the HN crowd, people who can afford to "take a few days off for no reason". Let's start with us.

> shouldn’t they have already made all their mistakes?

Is there some finite limit of mistakes that humans make over their lifetimes? In fact, it would be the opposite - those who are making more decisions are by definition likely to make more wrong decisions, as compared to someone who doesn't make as many decisions.

> Isn’t the board, by definition, paying for people who have a very high chance of making good decisions?

Yes, which is why the salaries for such positions are often so high.

> And it is not easy to figure out if someone is genuinely distraught at seeing a cartoon like that (or anything really) or they are just claiming they are

We should just not care. Somebody is always going to be offended with something. You can't please everyone. Somebody being offended in not an excuse to publish something. That's what's wrong with the present expectations -- the acceptance that "offending" someone is an excuse enough not to print something.

We should simply stop accepting that somebody being "offended" is enough to produce a veto to publish anything.

If anybody is scared they should also just admit that. But not accept that those who threat him or her have any right to do so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody_Draw_Mohammed_Day

"Molly Norris drew the original, poster-like cartoon on April 20, 2010, which declared May 20, 2010, to be the first annual "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day". The drawing showed various anthropomorphized objects, including a coffee cup, a cherry and a box of pasta, each claiming to be the likeness of Muhammad."

"FBI officials reportedly notified Norris warning her that they considered it a "very serious threat."[143][144]

"Norris has since changed her name and gone into hiding. According to the Seattle Weekly (her former employer), this decision was based on "the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI.""

"As of 2015, Norris is still in hiding and jihadist threats against her life continue."

We should publish exactly what is "offensive" until there is enough of it that nobody's life can be threatened.

Otherwise we accept to be bullied.

"Van Gogh was shot with a HS2000 and stabbed by Mohammed Bouyeri while cycling to work on 2 November 2004 at about 9 o'clock in the morning."

https://www.salon.com/2004/11/24/vangogh_2/

"On the morning of Nov. 2 in a busy street in east Amsterdam, a 26-year-old Dutch Moroccan named Mohammed Bouyeri pulled out a gun and shot controversial filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who was riding a bike to his office. Van Gogh hit the ground and stumbled across the street to a nearby building. He didn't make it. As the Moroccan strode toward him, van Gogh shouted, "We can still talk about it! Don't do it! Don't do it." But the Moroccan didn't stop. He shot him again, slit van Gogh's throat and stuck a letter to his chest with a knife. He was slaughtered like an animal, witnesses said. "Cut like a tire," said one. Van Gogh, the Dutch master's great-grand-nephew, was 47 years old."
> But since my workplace was raging with #MeToo consciousness

I think you misspelled “managerial incompetence”. Either (1) you weren't documenting that concrete relative (to other staff) poor performance on measurable performance criteria and the related counseling that you gave, or (2) you were wasting your time doing that (not just documenting, but even doing the counseling) when higher management wasn't willing to follow through on (for probably really bad reasons, whether it's “we’ll just assume lawsuit risk is unacceptable without reviewing the facts”, or “the facts of the specific case don't matter because we are actually so neck deep in sexual discrimination that any scrutiny, no matter how unwarranted the triggering complaint is, poses unacceptable danger”) in any case.

Either way, it's a management problem that #MeToo, at most, exposed, not a #MeToo problem.

That is, as long as everything is still pushed to AOSP.

One of the issues with using the phone is that it's so difficult to record phonecalls and store them in a way that makes them useful for future reference.

With instant messaging, you can usually at least do simple searches for phrases you remembered from the conversation. With recording phone calls, you need to remember the approximate date that you had the chat and then skip through one or more audio files to try and find the information you're after.

It's not great.

Does Moving Average Crossover Strategy Work?
I'm the CPO at a SaaS data catalog and analysis hub company called data.world - I was at the Snowflake Summit when the Looker acquisition by Google was announced - the guys at their booth seemed pretty happy ;)

With Google snapping up Looker ($2.6B) for Google Cloud, Salesforce's much bigger purchase of Tableau is a clear sign that the big guys see buying BI tools is a good way to expand the reach of their offerings into more of the business. We talk to companies every day that have made massive investments in data warehouses, viz tools, and high-paid data scientists, but they still aren't agile enough because they can't tie it all together so their people can find and use the right data when they need it. I read an article once about the failure of self serve BI and the reality is that you just end up creating more sprawl. People need tools to reduce the clutter and sprawl and stop the endless chain of emails trying to figure out what table to look at or query to use or if your source is still updating.

We built our data catalog and analysis hub for exactly this, and it's extremely validating to see the big guys like Salesforce and Google investing in expanding the user base of big data tools and I really hope we can be part of the solution of sorting it all out!

Amazon Personalize Is Now Generally Available
The answer is - these are not core office buildings for those F500's. They want capitally efficient (e.g. minimal up front investment), fast to market and appealing to a desired workforce. GE wanting to set up a R&D center to hire 100x 25-40 year old developers in Austin? Great model. When we hit a recession, those are the first jobs to go and then they have preferable (e.g. not left sitting with the asset) ways of winding those centers down if needed.

Think of it like having 3-year Reserved Instances in AWS instead buying your own hardware and running your own data center. Which would you choose today?

In my experience[0], the captchas are rotated regardless of the browser. The captcha shown each time seems to be chosen based on some sort of hidden “trust level”, which fluctuates across attempts based on your choices.

The starting level, I suspect, is heavily influenced by browser settings and many other factors. With that in mind, and assuming that

1) trust inversely correlates with anonymity,

2) people using Firefox tend to be more tech-savvy and careful about their privacy, and

3) tech-savvy people using Chrome probably won’t bother locking it down, since it “talks to Google anyway”,

I’d be disinclined to believe Google actually discriminates against browsers—no matter how compelling a narrative this may seem—until I have a complete picture of OP’s setup (from browser settings to OS and connection).

[0] Last year there was a period I was getting many captchas (either my location or AWS VPN caused me to be considered “untrusted”); I actively tried to figure out how to get past it without giving the algorithm what it wants, so I could go through a dozen of these captcha screens in one browser window. I use Safari, Firefox and Chrome routinely.
HN shouldn’t be held to the same standard as NYT for journalistic integrity
true, but they'll never be as efficient as a centralised system, because intrinsic to the trustless design is a proof of work or proof of stake, which is to say the investment of resources to drive up the cost for any given actor, to make owning the system impossible. There is no way around this by design.

I understand your concern about the SJW label and the charged political context its often used, but it is to me accurate, since this it what they would call themselves.

Take a look at this Joe Rogan + Johnathon Haidt podcast clip that talks about SJW cultural origins in northeastern and western elite liberal arts colleges:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e9VYf9FKHo

NOTE: Jonathan David Haidt is an American social psychologist and Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business (not a crackpot is my point).

You see downstream echo's of this hyper virtue signaling subculture now in the NYT since much of thier journalism is fresh outs with little real world experience outside their bubble.

I'm a centrist libertarian if you must qualify my argument with my position on the spectrum. In my opinion, I find that classic liberal have a very hard mental block acknowledging that even their own side of the coin can have a toxic extremist end. One that will NOT look and behave like the toxic extremes on the right, but the outcome is the largely negative in the same manor. As Jonathan Haidt in that clip says, they often write it off or are unaware of the problem.

I agree that we don't know what was lost, and it could easily be waaay worse than I imagine

But this kind of comes back to my point - why do we have online verification systems that rely on things like knowing my address in the last three years - Equifax breach should have meant we gave up on using a credit risk scoring system as an identity provider.

But we don't.

We need to rethink what is identity (start with web of trust) and who owns data that links to that identity.

I mean this could be the start of a positive identity provider - grab that downloaded database and provide a system that says this is a picture of Paul Brian's face, and his passport, and on the 20th August last year a official of the US government compared them
in real life and verified they matched (there may even be a hash of the digital images made at the time but I should not get my hopes up)

Now make that globally available. Is that useful and valuable - I think so. I would prefer if I had been able to upload my public key to that at the same time (I can always visit NYC again) but you get the idea. This leads to question like why does my passport not generate a key pair for me to use? Can I use facial recognition to match my gravatar / facebook / twitter ? Why is knowing a non-secret (mother's maiden name, passport or drivers license number, three digits on back of credit card) seen as security?

Why is it we use what we have to hand and not what is needed? Why don't american banks use chip and pin?

It's not bad that my online identity is clear and visible - as long as the legal and practical frameworks exist to support it - which they basically don't right now but we could make it happen
