There are a number of companies producing unfinished lower receivers that are then sold to consumers to complete the machining on. Lowers that are only 80% complete are not classified as “firearms” and thus require no FFL transfer. While a CNC machine is ideal, the kits can be completed using tools as rudimentary as a drill press or a router. Polymer lowers are also available and can be completed using a something as simple as a dremel tool. 80% Glock lowers are also available and are quite popular. Firearms made in this way are perfectly legal though they cannot be sold or transferred as they have no serial number.

> nor has it really broken without someone taking an unadvisable action on it

You’re basically saying “the tool X is fine, you’re just inexperienced/undisciplined and using it wrong”. Which is fair critique if I was an intern, but I have a decade+ experience in development and operations and I look at kubernetes in disbelief - why should things be that complicated? I get it, everything is pluggable and configurable, but surely this must be balanced out by making it more approachable and convenient?

You can’t sneeze in kubernetes without it requiring you to generate some ssl certs to the point where it’s just cargo-culture without any consideration of purpose and security.

And what’s up with dozens and dozens of bloated yamls and golang files? The fresh 30-odd commits ”official” flink operator is 3 THOUSAND lines of Go and 5 THOUSAND lines of yamls. How is that reasonable? In which universe is that reasonable? all it does is a for-loop that overwrites a bunch of pods to keep their spec in sync with desired config. There’s like 1000:1 boilerplate ratio in kubernetes and it’s considered good somehow?

Sorry for the rant, I’m just angry that we’re six decades into software engineering and the newest hottest project I the newest hottest line of work behaves like everybody should be paid per line of code they produce.

I fail to see relevancy here. If a physical good is made illegal to own and trade most people can not do anything about it. You'd have to smuggle the goods out of the country or find someone who is willing to take that risk. Most people simply do not have resources to do this.

With digital goods such restrictions aren't nearly as big of an issue. You can trade (semi-)anonymously with very little fear of getting caught. You can easily disguise your country of origin and even hold the money off shore, all of which would have required a lot of capital to setup with actual gold in the 1930s.
Pausing is a type of stopping, and there is nothing permanent in saying they've stopped something. The article makes this clear by using uncertain terminology like it "might be its last (ICE)".

But the general idea of GDPR is not only to educate. It also aims to give you tools at your disposal to control how and if your data is processed and stored. That is the most remarkable feat of GDPR. To complain that this is "bureaucratic madness" is not a problem with the regulation, it is a problem with your perception of personal data. If you didn't have tools before to enable users to control _their_ personal data, you are the problem and it is definitively good that you now have to invest into making sure you create those tools.

No. It leads to non-acceptance by default. If you are seeing forms where you are opted in to data capture by default that isn't a core part of the service, that's a breach.

Both, what you mean is who keeps it instabil. But that's also not as simple as just looking at US drone strikes. Though they are a non small reason due to the mental trauma they caused in a lot of people in some regions, which IMHO is likely to caused more people to radicalize.
I see. You don't have to use the Interface Builder(the WYSIWYG drag and drop stuff) at all. The empty state of any new project will be initiated with it but you can simply delete it, remove any reference to it from the other files and do code-only UI.

That said, after some un-learning, I found that this Interface Builder is actually very powerful in taking care of the mundane stuff and so you can concentrate on the more interesting things. This is because you can interact with the drag-and-drop elements as if they were written in code, this thing doesn't generate some weird markup that you have to understand, instead, you interact with it through API in your code(essentially, linking the visually created element to a variable in your code. Once linked, you can work with that visual element as if it was created through code).

The positioning is done through constraints, you can have conflicting constraints with different priority and you can change these priorities in your code to have nice animations. You can add constraints, remove constraints, turn on/off constraints from your code, you can do everything nicely mixing the code with the Interface Builder. It's really amazing once you get over your previous ways of doing things and embrace the Apple way.

Indeed, mandatory acceptance is not a meaningful choice and hence explicitly ruled out by the GDPR.

I struggle to believe Netflix will gain any subscribers by showing Seinfeld or indeed lose any by not showing The Office or Friends.

For me, these are shows to have on in the background while I'm doing something else. I'm not watching them, but that's OK as I've seen them before and can easily dip in and out, while enjoying the odd familiar scene or joke. Personally, I have never watched Friends or The Office on Netflix, but I do this with Archer and The Thick Of It, P&R on Amazon Prime and Silicon Valley on Sky. If any of those shows were no longer on, I'd simply find something else to have on in the background.
I have two thoughts.

First, I find this happens to me when I get busy. The key is doing the work "for me" before the work "for others". Wait up earlier and make my work matter.

Second, I used to get up from my desk where I met clients, and literally sit on the other side to write out what needed to change. And then I would get up and go back to the first side and get to it. That mental shift of looking the other way was very useful.

Aircraft need to be able to see other aircraft so as not to collide with them. Especially so if you foresee a future where delivery drones are as common as cars.

They also need to avoid obstacles that aren't on their digital maps, like newly erected cranes, and moving things like birds, parachutists and gliders.

Of course, you could argue they don't need to store the videos they take, or transfer them off the drone, other than a last-60-seconds-flight-recorder for crash investigation.

There's no point in 'extensive education' if the consumer is still powerless to exercise that knowledge.

Immersion into what, the internet?
As an european who rejects ad trackers on every website, I can confirm that a good 95% of them are correctly implemented and will let you keep browsing. Some of them (usually americans with a poor understanding of why they even implemented that) will kick you out or ask you again on every page load until you accept.

We need a standard for managing these controls on the browser side, which major browsers can then implement. It wouldn't surprise me if people were already working on something like that. If I reject ads from google doubleclick specifically, they should be pre-rejected for every subsequent website that asks the same question. Likewise for the various cookie purposes.

(I do understand the unfortunate potential for fingerprinting here...)
Well, but do you believe you would have had more people trying to kill you if you didn't ban them? I seriously doubt this.
> True that the European user should be able to opt-out just from tracking.

No, and if that's how it's implemented by you then you're breaking the rules here. It should be opt-in. And yes, I know that at that point you could probably just delete the tracking. If that breaks your business model, all I have to say to you is bye.
> It is not that people want to shoot people, it's that they want to kill people. That is the problem, and banning one single way of killing can not solve this.

If there is one single way of killing people that is far-and-away more effective than the others and also far-and-away cheaper and more accessible than the others, then maybe, just MAYBE, controlling that one way will help a little in controlling the rate at which people kill people.
No "should" about it. Merely pointing out a confounding factor.
I was arguing against two points made above:

1) "GDPR is europe's problem" --> I'm saying it's an attempted solution, not a problem

2) "not of the entire 'email industry'" --> the whole 'email industry' is in fact, affected. Where you operate from isn't a factor. Only if you don't email EU citizens (which is quite unlikely), you don't have to worry about it. If you do (which is very likely), you should know and implement GDPR rules.

I understand your FACTA analogy, but don't see how you disagree with me.
