To my understanding of the GDPR, as soon as you track any identifier that makes those data non-anonymous you still need consent for that. It is not about the cookies per se.
So, this is a case of “tech company thinks they found a clever GDPR hack, but didn’t and is still breaking the law”?

No. If you had a limit buy, Robinhood would never exceed your limit. Period. That would be highly illegal.

This is more like you want to buy something at 100. Robinhood then goes to the market and looks at all the vendors. The vendors are selling at various prices. Robinhood has a relationship with one of the vendors so they went there and that vendor was willing to sell at 98. However, a vendor down the street (that Robinhood doesn't like) would have been willing to sell at 97.

None of that is illegal. What the SEC is arguing here is that Robinhood didn't tell the customers this when they advertised "commision-free" trades. In Robinhood's eyes, they didn't charge a commission, so this was accurate. But in the SEC eyes, the customer was paying a "hidden" commission because they would get a slightly worse price than if they went with a different broker.

Imagine you are Fidelity... All of a sudden, you have Robinhood advertising "commission-free" and you just lost a good chunk of business from retail traders. You then complain to the SEC because the advertising here is not entirely accurate - the customers might have even gotten a better price with Fidelity - even if you add in the commission.

FTA:
> The order finds that Robinhood provided inferior trade prices that in aggregate deprived customers of $34.1 million even after taking into account the savings from not paying a commission.
In a world rife with deceptive marketing and advertising, PR spin, greenwashing, lobbying, astroturfing, and backroom deals, taking a corporation's actions or words at face value without considering if there might instead be an ulterior motive rooted in avarice is simply naive.
GitHub Systemic Flaw
Anything you produce, and post, elaborate on @ github is owned by Microsoft, better yet, some voiced shareholders of the corporation. Explained: any line of code, any snip or byte or bit that can be useful, either for mining, statistical data analysis, whatever derivative action, is out of your bounds. Microsoft is a one-way venue, if this is unimportant to you, github has no further flaws of any significance. It will come to bite you in a collective, unnoticable way, nothing personal, as societal herding in which you are the subject, not the progenator. In extremely rare cases, and beyond your knowledge of what hit you, you can be weighted, held against, or even (your wet dream), you can be sollicitated whithout knowing what hit you.
This is a great question. One could say that you obviously not censor content if a classical dictator asks you to.

Use leaded solder and either inspect the joint for complete coverage or solder dip the part beforehand. Then, conformal coat the circuit card with sufficient thickness for tin whisker mitigation.

Conformal coat really is the saving grace for tin whiskers. It's not perfect, a whisker can push through sometimes but then the whisker has to push back through the conformal coat again which is much harder.
Some investors would be more into throwing money at AI if they can rationalize thinking it’ll make it back rather than thinking it’s just researchers having fun.
> if you login you are known to have accepted the terms of service and as such after login no opt-in pop-up is needed either

Apologies if I've misunderstood your claim here but it seems to me that you are saying you can bury consent to processing inside your legalise.

That doesn't comply with the GDPR as I understand it; the consent must be informed and freely given. Informed in that case is debatable since you are lumping a lot of terms together. You certainly can't claim it's freely given if accepting the terms of service is not optional.

Is the docker/container model supposed to be all things to all people? I don't think so.

Containers are a building block that let us handle one concern. They are a great tool for some things. But, to expect the app dev concern of "just run my code" to be solved by them well is missing the other concern.

I think Docker does some things well. I think this works as intended. I just think that we need other things that use these building blocks better to create better solutions at the right level of abstraction.

Even infantry to infantry conflicts against a peer-like adversary would result in unacceptable losses for today's society.

"This is part of why I don't expect any future direct wars between world powers."

I somewhat agree with that. I think it could be possible in a scenario similar to that video game (Solid Snake?) where countries fight each other in highly mechanized/autonomous fashion - limited loss of life, but high economic costs until one collapses. But yeah, probably more likely to be a cyber war or cold war scenario. Technically we are in a loose proxy war with Russia based on what's going on in Syria.
Same here. and I'm on ublock origin and the rest. It's just ghastly, of all the scams (tech support and more) and other misery on the internet, the EU is just absolutely fixated on some of these random things.
Microsoft’s Lessons for Google
> Where corn is not, canned is processed

And that's where this distinction immediately becomes ridiculous. Fresh corn vs canned corn is well studied: the nutrition in canned corn can be higher due to preserving the food at peak-ripeness.

Fresh corn loses nutrition the longer it sits around. If you're able to grab corn from a farmer's market, its really good and nutritious. But if that corn was shipped for miles, sat at the back of a warehouse for a week, then got to the grocery store, and then sat at your house for a few days before eating... well... a lot of that nutrition evaporated away

---------

Canned corn loses some nutrition into the water as its canned. But you can preserve that nutrition by integrating that water into your meals. Ex: canned corn in chili, just pour the corn AND the water into your meal, and you keep all the vitamins.

In either case, the dietary fiber of the vegetable remains in tact even though the canning process. And that's the stuff that a lot of people are missing in their diets.

The school system teaches students about the major nutrients the body needs, and what common foods include those.

The corporations use major nutrients in advertising products that also contain lots of unnecessary ingredients, and that marketing works. That's actually a large portion of what this article describes.

Considering that every online card transaction within Europe now requires the more complicated payment intents model (because of the SCA, Strong Customer Authentication, requirements) I would imagine that it's a fairly significant percentage.

Just as an anecdotal data point, this is not actually true in practice, at least not yet for us. We abandoned our considerable efforts to move to Stripe's new API during its catastrophic phase, for reasons I've mentioned in past HN discussions and won't rehash here. The bottom line is that anything that required 3D Secure would presumably now fail for us. However, as a UK business with customers in several other EU member states as well, we have yet to notice any significant failure rate when signing up new customers. This may be because we charge relatively low subscription fees and qualify for one or more of the exemptions most or all of the time. In any case, we keep being told it will change one of these days but so far the sky has not fallen and we're still using Stripe when taking card payments.
Do you know how long the filters last?
No but this is why you would use a speed limiter rather than changing the engine. This is already done on every HGV in the country and most mopeds.
Since this was on HN I thought it was going to be about the Internet Hub.

From the paper Chi3l1/YKL-40 is controlled by the astrocyte circadian clock and regulates neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis [1]:

> Regulation of glial activation and neuroinflammation are critical factors in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). YKL-40, a primarily astrocytic protein encoded by the gene Chi3l1, is a widely studied cerebrospinal fluid biomarker that increases with aging and early in AD.

> Accordingly, Chi3l1 knockdown increased phagocytosis of zymosan particles and of β-amyloid peptide in both astrocytes and microglia in vitro. We further observed that expression of Chi3l1 is regulated by the circadian clock, as deletion of the core clock proteins BMAL1 or CLOCK/NPAS2 strongly suppresses basal Chi3l1 expression, whereas deletion of the negative clock regulators PER1/PER2 increased Chi3l1 expression. Basal Chi3l1 mRNA was nonrhythmic because of a long mRNA half-life in astrocytes. However, inflammatory induction of Chi3l1 was gated by the clock. Our findings reveal Chi3l1/YKL-40 as a modulator of glial phagocytic activation and AD pathogenesis in both mice and humans and suggest that the astrocyte circadian clock regulates inflammatory Chi3l1 induction.

The New Atlas title conflates "sleep cycles" with "circadian rhythm". The Washington University news release gets it right [2].

Only if the inventor cares if the general public believes him. Sounds like he's doing this for the Navy, and the fewer people take him and the work seriously, the better. The US probably doesn't want China or Russia trying to duplicate his work.

The patent doesn't indicate anything more than that the idea exists in some specificity. It's something for the inventor, later, when / if the tech doesn't need to be secret anymore.
You can have multiple clients at different API versions interacting with Stripe, with a single webhook in your service to receive the callback. Even if you had a single integration, you cannot usually guarantee an atomic switch to the newer API version across all servers, so you either have separate versioned endpoints or your webhook endpoint has to deal with multiple versions.

That said, I do agree you should be able to specify the exact version for a webhook in the Stripe admin UI. But I also wouldn't worry about trying to track the versions too much, Stripe is great in that your integration from 5 years ago will still work just fine today unless you need the newer payment methods.
Much like logging though, it's the 1 percent that isn't discarded that's important.

I agree with you by the way, but ...

That's not the point. I want to give the plumber the choice to decide in matters that regard him in the company he is part of. Like what fees to ask to customers, how to distribute and eventually reinvest the profit, etc. If the plumber is an independent contractor he already has these possibilities.

I like what this guy has to say about nutrition (take it with a grain of salt, he is an epistemologist)

https://meaningness.com/nutrition-resigns

"Your job is to wear white lab coats while saying that food ingredients are healthy and unhealthy, and to wave charts around. That makes the ingredients authoritatively healthy and unhealthy, which covers our asses.

...

"Signed,

I think if you model food as energy / volume / time you'll do better. To lose weight either increase time (fast) or volume (eat more fiber, maybe the easiest to do?) and decrease energy (lower calorie options).
Why, and which third-party resources are you referring to? Looking at uBlock Origin in a GitHub PR page now, I see the following domains:

- githubassets.com

All these are GitHub-owned, so from a privacy / customer relationship standpoint it looks fine (except github.map.fastly.net , which is probably for CDN purposes), isn't it? I mean: there is zero googleanalytics / zendesk / tracking saas nonsense here. Or are you making this point from a performance standpoint?

By the way, I haven't used SourceHut yet, but thanks a lot for your opensource work.

The claims that it is better to eat whole grains than white rice or white flour are very wrong (when the claims have no context).

Obviously, if you had been some poor peasant and 80% of your food consisted of cereals, then eating whole grains would have been immensely better than eating just white rice or white flour.

On the other hand, if you eat a wide variety of foods, you can get any minerals, vitamins and proteins that you need from much better sources than whole grains.

Above satisfying your basic necessities with other nutrients, you can add enough fatty foods and starchy foods to satisfy your energy needs, depending on how much physical activity you do.

As starch sources, sweet potatoes, potatoes, bananas, maize, white rice, white flour and others are preferable to whole grains.

If you cook yourself with white rice or white flour, the food should be OK.

Unfortunately, if you buy modern bread or similar industrial products made with flour, looking at the composition you will see a huge number of substances beyond the traditional recipes.

Those substances may or may not have some deleterious effect, but, at least in my experience, one certain effect is that with processed food that I buy I am never satiated for long and I have the tendency to eat too large quantities.

Since I have switched to eating only food that I am cooking myself from raw ingredients, I have never felt again the need to overeat.
