And regarding lawsuits, small fish websites don't really matter. Look at this case, breaking the law meant a €100 fine.

I feel that reasonable people are super afraid of the GDPR. Just read it, it's shorter than a spec. Talk to a lawyer if you're still super afraid.

It applies to every business but it's targeting huge corporations tracking stuff, not the average Johann.
Can I read something about this? Sounds very interesting!
The OP feels like a show HN type of submission to me. Its a din toy not to be taken too seriously
I don't think so...

I think the major driving force is machismo and competition. People I've met have into this sort of thing have an image of themselves as Matrix-style hackers. It's easy for business types to exploit that.

Be the best hacker working with the best hackers in the world.
What if I host my website on Google Cloud Platform? I guess it should be OK then to use Google Fonts CDN on the website, because it's the same entity, and visitor's IP was already leaked to Google when the HTML page was served. Can't really ask user for consent before loading the HTML page!
Why are those related?

The purpose of requiring energy to operate the network is to have something at stake when enforcing rules of the system. You could have unlimited or even arbitrary inflation of the currency while still requiring proof of work.

Hence, the rule that is being enforced by PoW here is that sending to a "wrong" address is not reversible.
Exactly. Your browser preferences are your cookie settings.

The whole business of littering the web with cookie consent forms is as far from a sensible technical solution to the problem as can be imagined. The people who invented the web and who designed browsers have had at least the aspiration to build a system that’s going to work as a whole. Courts and lawmakers, in the other hand, have no such vision.
But I am trying to put blame: people who wrote the malware/spyware code are to blame. Similarly to people who write website code that leaks user personal information. The choice to embed third-party code was made by them.

It is nowhere near reasonable to ask a common user to protect themselves from such things: they might not have the technical expertise. They might not be using their own computer (library, etc). The browser doesn't provide enough tools for it and requires third-party solutions. Third-party solutions can either cost money (Little Snitch), additional hardware (Pi-Hole), are not available in all browsers (uBlock Origin due to its interface) or require technical knowledge (other ad-blockers that use lists).
The difference between 5% and 5.6% is approx 11%. But I agree it’s more useful to look at percentage points here
There is an important point to this ruling that shouldn't be omitted:

> Der Einsatz von Schriftartendiensten wie Google Fonts kann nicht auf Art. 6 Abs. 1 S.1 lit. f DSGVO gestützt werden, da der Einsatz der Schriftarten auch möglich ist, ohne dass eine Verbindung von Besuchern zu Google Servern hergestellt werden muss.

To roughly translate: One can use Google Fonts without forcing users to make a request to google servers (by downloading the fonts and serving them locally) so this doesn't fall under GDPR (which allows sharing/using user data if it is necessary for functionality).

Which would most likely include CDNs but a point could be made for things like youtube and twitch where that isn't really possible/feasible.

Edit: One addition to the "necessary" part: Necessary for what the USER wants to do when visiting your site. Might be arguing semantics but this is law after all, which is all about semantics

What you need to do is find companies that are doing work you find impactful. Then look at their careers pages and find jobs that fit what you’re looking for. Then apply to the ones you’re qualified for and start learning what you need to know for the jobs you’re not qualified for.

It’s going to be hard for anyone here to give you a better answer because only you know the kinds of jobs you’ll find acceptable, given that an impactful mission isn’t enough for you.

I don’t know why many people here seem to assume that finding a significant other will solve your happiness/loneliness problems.

I met a girl some years ago we are now married and even though the first year was great it has all started going downhill from there. I am now at a point where I hate my life, and as OP even though I’m making more money than I ever dreamed I am still miserable and still remember my broke college years as the best of my life.

Now I’m thinking about how to get a divorce without hurting my partner that much. It’s awful and I feel terrible for her. But I think it’s for the better as I definitely won’t stand 40+ years like this, I’m also in my thirties. Marriage is definitely a bad deal for men (and great for women). I can’t understand/believe how many men are able to marry twice. For me it’s enough to make a huge mistake once to learn from it and never do it again.

I guess in the end I’d say be careful what you wish for I’d trade places with you right away.
Not only that... I visit foo.com , the browser will query 3rd parties for DNS, moreover when retrieving data from foo.com several shops will need to be done (see traceroute foo.com) . All of those should be disclosed and explicitly approved by the indefensive user!! And then, is foo.com hosted in servers that are not property of the website provider? (AWS, GCS)? oh shit, that's sharing without consent!! Another prompt for the user. Oh wait but that prompt should come before sharing the data!!

GDPR is going to manage to make the internet unusable. Who would've thought it was going to be bureaucrats the ones to kill the web!
> the two editors are pretty equivalent in how much time you have to spend on super-powering them.

One of the most disagreeable things I have ever disagreed with.

If you remove your bias, you'd find it within yourself that you would disagree with your own statement as well.

When the next VSCode comes along, I will move onto it with ease. Please do not ever consider that I'd get onboarded to vim just as quickly - I've spent enough time with vim to know such.

So if I put a really giant mirror and burn your house at 3PM it's the Sun's fault?

The ruling is actually quite logical. The (convoluted) outcome is that the IP is leaked and it should take any tech person about 5 minutes to realise this.
This isn't "just" initiating a request to a random third party server.

Chrome sends a unique ID when accessing (only!) google servers, in the form of X-client-data HTTP header, uniquely identifying the user, and the site he is browsing (via referrer). It's a goldmine.

I also don't know what they could be thinking of as mail scanning at Fastmail.

Gmail in G Suite basically never scanned email contents for targeted ads, that was another part of the free G Suite's appeal. Consumer Gmail stopped doing such scanning in 2017.

A lot of websites won't serve addresses from Germany.

I've seen companies doing that with just the GDPR cookie warning, it wasn't worth rewriting code and annoy non-EU people with the warning so the detect IP address and redirect to a page saying they don't serve that region.

Let's be honest, what have we gain from the cookie warning?
Related anecdote: last time my smartphone battery died and i had to make a phone call, i walked into the nearest café just like i did many years back, and asked to borrow their phone. They were very suspicious and unfriendly, to say the least, despite having ordered a cup of coffee first. This was a very normal practice not long ago...
Speaking for myself, the FOSS ideals were great while I was an university student and most of my expenses were paid by external sources, the moment I got to try to make a living out of it, I ended up like the majority, back to commercial products.

As the usual security exploits in FOSS prove, no one, including big corps is willing to make it work as per ideals.

So in the end we get back to the shareware and public domain that dominated the 16 home computers, we just call it dual licensing, or put it behind SaaS walls.
At least in Germany (possibly also other European countries) a design pattern only loading Facebook/Twitter/Youtube/... content with explicit user consent is nowadays pretty common.
More:

For "be X times more/less likely to have babies" they use the per capita birth rate, which is strongly affected by age distribution, as opposed to the age-adjusted Total Fertility Rate.

For "spend X% more/less on health care" they show total public and private spending, i.e. they include government subsidies, so that Israel's less generous welfare state shows up as "you spend 50% less than Germans on healthcare". Which, no.
There are several main personalities in the python-dev space:

1) People who easily get passionate but are gentlemen when it counts. R. Hettinger is one of these.

2) People who get passionate and are politicians. GvR is one of those and he is above the CoC.

3) Vicious politicians who always remain calm. These are the most dangerous, are often mediocre and climb the ladder at various large corporations. Some of these have not contributed much.

4) Some really nice people. You generally won't see much of them in discussions.

R. Hettinger is independent and honest, unlike the snake pit that runs Python.
ianal, but I think CDNs would not be affected by the ruling, since they serve an important function.
Google Fonts was deemed illegal here since it's not necessary and you can easily provide a font in a privacy-preserving way.
Disagree. The key information is no longer than an average privacy policy (and frankly, less complex) and whereas there are millions of privacy policies (which no one ever reads), there is only one GDPR. Give it one hour of close reading and you'll see just how important and useful it is. It's worth the effort because you only need to do it once.
You are implying that phone models for top officials are chosen at random.

Better diversity would also mean more choices, which mean some devices are more tailored to needs of a certain type of consumers, like business and government ones. They get less gifs to send, but have their software developed by paranoid people and "do not leak any secrets ever", and "no rce" are their first and only sprint goals.

So basically, now choice is between bad alternative and the even worse one.

Asking for more choices is an important proposition, I'd say

Unless I have got this wrong (I don't understand this very well at all), the reason the DAO fork happened is that it disappeared some important people's money and they had the clout to alter everyone else's cryptofinancial reality to get it back.

There would seem to be disincentives to prioritising fixing problems like this that affect unimportant people.

It strikes me as valuable to the crypto world that the mainstream media criticism of cryptofinance is that it is environmentally unfriendly. That is almost a distraction from the fact that it is antisocial and nihilistic.
This comment may seem harsh, but sadly this is what you need to work on the most.

Stop coding immediately and spend time with an advisor that helps you get your story and communication strategy straight.

> I'm curious to know whether DNS and your IP being in the the header of packets travelling through various different countries that can be sniffed is also considered as unwilful data sharing?

The IP has to be there for the return TCP packet, so under GDPR this falls under "strictly necessary" information.

If someone sniffs you, they now have your PII. They can't do anything with it that is not "strictly necessary" without your consent, otherwise they're also on violation of GDPR.

The only people trying to "break the internet through fear" are the doomsayers.
Erroneous trades get busted. If you sell for 10 and the price was 100 it will get corrected.
I would go further and say, in a crowded space like that with some excellent free options (i'd also add https://redash.io/ to the list which is very pleasant to work with), you need to show what actually differentiates you from those free and mature solutions.
Strictly necessary cookies for a service the user explicitly requested. And, importantly, this is true even if no personal data is involved and the process is therefore not covered by GDPR at all -- the cookie clause of e-Privacy Directive applies regardless.
You're wrong again. Insertion sort usually does less swaps than bubble sort.

Question: Does it always do less swaps? Probably yes, I think.

Honestly, the battery status is within reach of just a single mouse click in the Mac OS menu bar, I check it maybe once a week. I think there is even a warning when it reaches very low levels.

You are doing Your Thing™ and the lawyers are doing Their Thing™, and you are both incompetent at the other one.

The worst you could do to a lawyer is that maybe you could embarrass them about their lack of network engineering knowledge, but they in turn can extract real money from you through various means.

Also defending oneself results in involving a different lawyer enriching lawyers as a whole anyways.

Python code is instructions that are executed in a very precise manner, they could, in theory, encrypt a hard-drive. You execute the program the same way you execute binary instructions.

HTML is a description of a problem, there are different interpretations, and different solutions, depending on screen-size, etc. You don't always get the same result. Technically, JS could mine crypto, but I don't believe that's illegal (correct me if I'm wrong?), just very inconvienient, and there wasn't any JS involved here. You could make a browser that leaks data due to misinterpretation of the HTML. The problem also lies with the eager-evaluation of HTML, it's difficult to put a disclosure or ask for consent, such as the responsibility clause of most software licenses, without greatly annoying the user...

The purpose of NATO, per its first Secretary General: to “keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.”

The thing the American ruling class fears most (at least until now, the rise of China) is an alliance between Russia and Germany, and they’ll go very far to prevent that. The purpose of the continuing American occupation of Germany is not to keep Russia from invading Germany, there’s zero risk of that.

My local pizza place in Seattle has moved the technology the other way. Here’s the dialog when I call. “Pagliacci Pizza, how can I help you?”
“I’d like to order a pizza”
“Sure thing. Is this John Smith?”
“Yes”
“Do you still live at 1234 Main Street”
“Yes”
“Would you like to order the same thing you did last time?”
“Yes”
“Ok, it’ll be there in 20 minutes”

Even better, while you talk to the store you called, the order goes into some sort of pizza load balancer and gives the order to the least busy store with a good drive time to your house.
