Well great advice so i should follow it: If you are a stoic, positive person who doesn't negatively affect the life of others and your own, do not make the mistake to think you have it good. You re just a convenient person, transparent and invisible to everyone because people like drama, they don't like rocks.

Noted that the example they use from Rui Costa et al. 2017 (a great paper btw recommended reading) is not any kind of machine learning result, it is a fitting of data from previous experiments showing pre- and post-synaptic changes during short term LTP experiments. So i 'm not sure what the authors are rambling on about here.

Co-working spaces could be a big deal if they catch up (i.e. if real estate prices drop enough so they can be affordable to everyone). They would create small "commercial" regions around them with a small scale economy around them, and that could be transformative for neighborhoods.

You 're suggesting that you have to be forced by your employer to take a walk in the park. I think you 're justifying the parent's dismissive comment.

I think a lot of it has to do with HN being frequented by people in SF who do like their workplaces, and are being overwhelmingly incentivized monetarily to like them. People outside US seem to be a lot more sympathetic to the idea.

If the downside is "lack of separate workspace / human contact", then it is blown way out of proportion imho. It's easily solved by using a coworking space, and it's not reason enough to dismiss remote work.

The usual skepticism from HN comes up whenever telecommuting is brought up. However, it was tech's promise. I think people should be asking how to fix its problems rather than nagging that it "doesn't work for me". But maybe i'm biased as an indie dev.

Major sites have devs to waste. For the rest of us web is a valid alternative.

Strange, i use my phone mostly to browse stuff. I prefer the web version of Gmail cause i can switch between accounts and i also avoid all those annoying notifications.

You 're presenting a false dilemma. Apple is not competing with google on hardware (srsly, google's business is search advertising). Are you saying you'll start using apple.com for search or for social networking?

Content-based ads are worse , though, depending on the site. I believe ad spending is never going to go down, even if advertising is very ineffective. It's something that you need to do to expand a business and there is no alternative.

How to do GDPR correctly.

At which point can facebook start suing around for [slander/damages]? It's not like they did all this in secrecy , they were quite open about their platform with developers (which has helped developers warm up to a company that basically sells gossip). They never will of course, because they 'd be retroactively judged with today's standards. E.g. I find their unfair advantaging of the Obama campaigns a lot more troubling than this.

In greece, said tourists are limited into specific resort towns where they can enjoy their general raucousness and binge drinking from their morning breakfast till almost the next one without generally infesting the streets of working people. I don't know why barcelona does not do that - they can arrange that with tour operators.

Perhaps a look here will help

Why is this here? If interested in the circuitry of fear and the amygdala these are better reviews:

You haven't read it, i presume. The implementation requires a lot more than that.

> If you're a startup competing against an open-source project

Doesn't have to be a startup. I expect many small businesses will use it to damage competitors. It's not like it's unheard of .

by comparison, you literally don't need to do anything to implement DMCA, except perhaps respond to emails.

(I wonder why this is contestable? DMCA is an afterthought, GDPR requires a lot of actual work to implement even if you process minimal data like IPs)

> GDPR already applies to governments. What makes you think it is not?

It doesnt apply to security-related services, and the governements are allowed to override it for most purposes as outlined in article https://gdpr-info.eu/art-23-gdpr/

no he wont be. reddit will

.. or tecnnological

Who wants to be a guinea pig for lawyers? what fun!

> If you want none of your personal info on the web, I have a suggestion: Don't participate in forums, social media, etc.

sensible regulation that defines workable limits of what personal information can be collected, combined with requirements for anonymization when needed is a better solution.

> There's a big difference between a right to anonymity and a right to be forgotten.

Exactly. Privacy also doesnt mean being invisble when interacting with people or machines. It's not a well-defined right, and the limits can often be fuzzy (e.g. a problem that kids often have with parents). Pseudonymity / anonymity can also be subject to gradation.

No, but it is more than enough to scare people. Doing a project that makes you zero or very small amounts of money does not justify any risk-taking, and certainly nobody wants to go into the trouble of sending emails to various DPA people in Europe if the need arises. This kind of treatment should be reserved for large companies or specific uses of private data. In addition, the approach of the law "guilty until proven innocent" is hugely off-putting.

He's still obliged to respond to that letter. Can't hide like this.

(guys, I'm being sarcastic)

Yes it's quoted in the article too, however "necessary for the purposes" is subject to interpretation, and there is a huge leeway here. In practice it is always possible to claim that some procedure would require retention for longer, and it would be impossible to have them prosecuted for that.

Except its not ‘in practice’ because gdpr does not require such thing. In spirit, maybe

[i.e. practically they wouldn't be fined for this]

> if yours floods

Increasingly in the west local communities are weakened, and these tasks are taken up by government services. That's why online communities thrive: they allow people who are dispersed all over the place to coordinate.

But how can we trust you re unbiased?
