With so many of these widgets now (most of which are free and/or open source) I’d be very surprised if this doesn’t show up as a feature baked directly into the next macOS.

I use Meeter. It was the first I came across and it is free. It’s rather useful but not life changing. I’ve recently noticed that Siri notifications have started appearing, prompting the link to join meetings and they usually appear a fraction of a second before Meeter’s notification.

I get that Superpowered is an MVP (and a very very, maybe too, polished one at that!) and now I’m quite fascinated to see how this turns in a YC growth business.
Thanks for your comment. Reading mine today (a day after I wrote it), I can see why it sounded harsher than it should have been.
Over the long term, masking tape hardens and cements to the surface. Very nasty to try to remove. It is not for long-term use.

I'm pretty sure though that Emacs is actually short for Editor MACroS.

A nod to the fact that Emacs is really an extensible Lisp system rather than just an editor or IDE.

Forums died a decade ago. Everyone moved to Facebook, Reddit, Discord, etc. This is not a GDPR problem.
Honestly this 'we dont have an Id card' business just gets you the same result, but more chaotic and disorganised
I see angry Europhobes on Twitter being responded to with "you won get over it" quite a bit these days...
GDPR should have been implemented as a standard that browser vendors should implement. e.g.

```
window.getPersonalDataPreferences()
```

It should only prompt the user to submit their preferences if no preferences were detected, or a specific permission is required to allow certain features.

People may argue that everyone will just turn everything off everywhere and forget about it, and I would argue "so what?".

The burden of GDPR has been dumped on the wrong people and has become so tedious to administer it's basically useless and a massive waste of time and energy.
100% this. Already happening (I moved all of mine from London to Frankfurt last year, fully expecting this to happen). DCs in the UK will suffer.

It's not surprising considering this is the same government who used such data to create targeted campaigns to win the referendum in the first place.

F1 isn’t an example of success to emulate. The over-regulation of the sport is widely hated by fans. The situation they have now is a negative feedback loop of excessive regulation requiring the implementation of an ever increasing amount of further regulation. Small teams used to be able to innovate, but the regulations have pushed the barrier to innovation so high that you need hundreds of millions of dollars, and even then, if you didn’t manage to hire Adrian Newey or James Allison, then you have to cheat to be anywhere near the front of the pack. You’ll never see another Ross Brawn in F1 again. The new status quo is a few rich teams at the front, a couple of permanent midfield teams, and 4-5 teams teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. I would hope that no other sport ever chooses this path.
I never asked for rigorous safety legislation around fire safety, infrastructure safety, etc. I'm still glad they exist though.

90% of things in your home would happily run from 150V DC, even though they aren't rated for it.

Source: I sometimes connect my solar panels direct to my AC wiring without an inverter, and my house works entirely except my washing machine and fridge (both of which have AC motors in). Even my vacuum cleaner works (although it's on-off switch doesn't work, since it uses a thrysistor!). Phone charger, laptop charger, oven, microwave, doorbell, furnace, routers, TV, monitors, desktop pc, all work fine.

If some country declared tomorrow that all electrical devices must accept AC or DC, not that much would have to change.

I have many British friends who were absolutely against this, I also know a former boss who was very public about his Brexit vote and like many of those who voted for it, will be too old to have to deal with the consequences of this decision.

If anything I think it is rather unfair to hear people from other EU countries treating this process as something along the lines of 'suits them' and 'they've made their bed'. When in reality a large chunk of them have pretty much not agreed to any of this but are still set to suffer the consequences.
Lowering taxes, lowering regulatory and environmental standards, and undoing workers' rights legislation can all increase the wealth of those who are already wealthy. I'm not saying all of those things are in the pipeline, but they've all been proposed by pro-Brexit politicians (and this article is one example of lowering regulatory standards).
ClickHouse suits well for string logs, especially if a log message have some fixed structure which can be mapped to separate columns. And most logs have some number of predefined fields which are easy to map to columns (e. g. timestamp, IP, request time, e. t. c.). You can store free-form JSON which doesn't have per-defined schema in a string column, but ELK would be probably better in this case.

And then you can query logs using all power of SQL.

I played on a private shard (server) of ultima online for a long time. Official server players might have had a different experience. I have tried a lot of online rpg's since then but never even got close to feeling similar to these days.
- Core experience was free.
- A lot of emergent gameplay all around. Games today feel more planned-out most of the times.
- There were no quests. (sometimes there would be unique quests for a limited time - events)
- The necessity to kill a same monster 700x times to try and find X item didn't exist. Because
- Items were created using skill, which you had to train from 33.3% to 100%.
- When you attacked a player inside a town, the guards would immediately kill you. But when we left town, there was a message saying there were no guards around. PK allowed. And if you got killed, your corpse would be standing there with all the items you were carrying.
- Stealing was allowed as a skill you could train (and steal directly from another player backback - he could flag you if he noticed though and guards would come). There was also snooping which was the skill to see other player backpack.
- Scamming, home invasion, and all that stuff was allowed. This may seem cruel, but it allowed for so much emergent gameplay that it was incredible. Also
- The economics felt more playful, not so hard. Players not necessarily had to do the same stuff or take long time to achieve wealth. You had to be smart.
- Scripting. Because to train most skills you would have to do repetitive tasks.
- Small server with not that many players, but intense interaction.
- There were a lot of bugs to explore, more loose systems, and it was fun :)
The guidelines are pretty clear on what processing is, what data it covers and who controllers are in those circumstances. The biggest flaw I see is people don't read them and assume any data in any context is bound by it and it becomes a stick to beat everything with when it's not required.

I'm afraid your example is a prime case of that - leaving a hat at school that happens to have your name on it clearly doesn't fall within the remit of data processing under GDPR, it's a strawman (straw boater?) argument

I also don't agree it's a bad thing to make no distinction on size of company, doing so would leave a grey area of when a thing becomes "big enough" to transition from outside to inside scope and therefore gaps in the enforcement.

If you want to build a hobby forum, you're free to do it without requiring my personal data. If you want to collect my data for analysis or marketing then I absolutely want you to abide by the rules and look after it even if you're a lone programmer in his basement.

I think you need to back that up with credible numbers.

GDPR was and has been a massive kick in the backside for companies large and small in the UK. I certainly know from talking to my past client base and current network, which is from a fairly broad spectrum of organisations, they treated GDPR compliance pretty seriously. Hell even my local village pub made sure they were in compliance, despite just having a manual paper based guest register.
That sport is called already exists, it’s called IndyCar. Viewership and revenue statistics would suggest that it’s probably not more interesting.
Absolutely was a big topic. Company I worked for at the time of the change took it very seriously, and all parts I saw were adapted accordingly.
It is a huge cherry though, and I believe we're yet to see the full economic effect of EU lagging behind US and UK in vaccinations.
Another aspect of the economics is that renewables are cheaper yes, but their capacity can also be built out incrementally year by year whereas with nuclear the construction risk is very high often taking decades before the plant is commissioned. With renewable's costs dropping consistently year by year who wants to take a chance on nuclear being competitive fifteen years from now when it's finally built? Nuclear's economic window of opportunity has almost entirely shut at this point. Though niche applications for small reactors in remote locations may be viable.
Huh. I guess this'll be what pushes me to finally figure out a proper backup system for my server, so I can trust it with all my photos etc, and remove them from "The Cloud"

Clearly there are only two possibilities. Being in the EU or being a "a right wing basket case with a brand new nuclear weapons system and a failing economy and zero safeguards about those in power". There are no other types of country.
What kind of personal data do you need to store for a forum ? For what purpose ?

> Who will create forum for a community if one has to deal with all the bureaucracy, "right to be forgotten"

Most forums are created with softwares handling everything, virtually nobody creates a forum from scratch with his own tech stack.

> If kids leave they clothes in kindergarten or school, can clothes be signed with kid first and last name (so it is easier to find lost items)? Is school a processor or controller of kids' PII in that case?

People asking these kind of questions are either trolling or making their life much harder than necessary.... The text is pretty simple if you read it in good faith and don't act like a 6th grader who doesn't want to do his homework and pretend he doesn't understand the question...

Do you think GDPR is aimed at facebook &co storing millions of users data without the immediate business need nor the consent for it ? or at kindergarten kids who have their name written on their clothes ?
I like the feature, but if it requires somebody to creates an account, it's a hard sell.

If they got a signal account, which is more likely than a bitwarden account, I'll ask them to use that. If they don't, then something like 0bin.net will likely be easier to use (no account necessary, just copy/paste).

Now, bitwarden allows you to send any type of file, which is better than 0bin, being very limited in size, and to text and pictures. But you need a pro account for this.

So I'm not sure how it's better than the competition. Although I'm posting this comment so that someone on HN can show be I'm missing something.
It was explicitly stated that copying deselected text and that ^C^C copies and kills.
The problem becomes one of enforcement.

If you're an online business established outside of the EU with no presence in the EU then as long as you abide by the data protection laws of your own country I don't see how an EU country's data protection authority could do anything to you.

This is a general issue online where sites and potentially services can be reached and used globally whilst each country basically cannot do anything outside of its own borders.

The part of the GDPR that says that the regs apply worldwide as long as the individual is in the EU is not really realistic in many actual situations.

I was pretty disappointed after living three years in Singapore and witnessing the uglier underbelly of the country that the UK decided that's what it wanted to become almost as soon as I got home.

Moreover, they don't want to copy any of the successes - e.g. their public housing system or strict "you WILL go to prison if you overcharge" price controls on medical care.

They just want the tax haven, deregulation, an under the thumb easily exploited workforce working themselves half to death and handouts to their friends.

"We always ask for total transparency from our governments"

Since time immemorial governments have used the seal of secrecy to hide their daily embarrasments, failures, and corruption.

UK government has ordered a report into whether Sauidi is promoting Jihadism in Uk, and then decraled it secret. Same for Russia report. Recently the government has been sued for handing out multi-billion contracts to pals without challenge, and obviously they immediately reached out for the secrets act.

We are sensitive about private data, because if you believe in a right to remain silent, well, now you can't stay silent.

PGP is known to have worked for at least a handful of people and it's easy (comparatively) for normal people to understand the dangers of using.

These smartphone apps have spent orders of magnitude less time under attack, are often closed source, often integrate OS vendor and carrier value add in ways that make them weak, and their centralized and closed nature makes forcing both en mass and targeted key exfiltration updates on users trivial.

There are zero secure messaging smartphone apps and there never will be unless smartphones substantially change.
Why is it inevitable that the UK will become like America? There are plenty of independent Algo-States that are nothing like it. Australia, New Zealand, Canada for example.

Right to restriction of processing is not right to restriction of storage. Trying to re-register with your banned e-mail address is consent to processing and subsequent refusal to serve the person.
> You can store it wherever you want, as long as you're in compliance.

From a GDPR standpoint, compliance means that the country where the data is stored has an agreement with the EU AND you must have enforceable and strong, negative consequences for the foreign party in your contract.

The EU can only make such an agreement for a foreign country if the data protection laws are sufficient. I do not know whether or not the UK laws are considered sufficient, but without any such agreement, you cannot assume that you can just store EU personal data in the UK.

With the death of Privacy Shield and its siblings, this first requirement isn't even the case for the US anymore as the US will not guarantee the safety of EU citizens' information from things like the patriot act. However, I haven't seen any country complain about storing data with Google, Amazon or Facebook yet so I don't think this rule will be enforced any time soon. Technically, though, storing PII in a foreign, non-EU country without the necessary requirements is still very much illegal with the full suite of fines available to the data processing agencies.
From my experience, unless I'm missing something, they're annoying because they're not that well implemented, maybe even on purpose?

Sites where I have granted access keep asking me to re-grant no matter what. Sites where I have denied do the same (although here I would expect it, not that I agree, since I already clicked "no").

And actually it's cool, sometimes you go to some docs and there's 33 "essential" cookies for the well functioning of the website (for a paid product) from which 30 are trackers.

Others, like wetransfer will show them as non-essential when receiving a file, but about the same amount of trackers, and this is ok, it's well defined and they're not trying to trick me into clicking "accept essential cookies" with 30 trackers tackled on them.

Perhaps one day we can start blacklisting those who don't implement a correct consent cookie form from the internet and dns wouldn't resolve for those non-compliant domains.
I just checked, you don't need an account to open the generated link.

Though the documentation could use some work.
> a large chunk of them have pretty much not agreed

Yes, but a far larger chunk has. Every country gets the leaders it deserves and the UK is no exception.
