You won't vote to protect free speech?

If it's a part of conversation - like most of social media posts -, I would assume it's fair use to keep it. Like if I interview you, and I publish the video, you can't retract what you said. Why social medias should be different?

From the french version, same (23):

> envisage d'offrir des services à des personnes concernées dans un ou plusieurs États membres de l'Union

They just have to prove you are considering EU in your app. It can be anything. Like Having EU timezones, or a country input with EU countries is enough to prove intent to server EU residents. If you collect IPs via your web sever, you are infringing.

If on your social network someone wants his posts to be removed, you have to comply under GDPR, or else. HN for example doesn’t allow to remove your comments after some time.

The first protects the nodes to store whatever social data they want. GDPR with particulary the right to be forgotten is a direct attack to this.

First amendment is protecting all speeches except direct threats of violence. Right to be forgoten is by essence incompatible with the first.

GDPR is more overeaching than that. You don’t need physical presence in EU to be subject to it. In theory, just having a webserver storing access logs (default of Apache and Nginx) makes you infringing it as EU IPs are now considered personal data.

You are making the wrong assumptions. I am a EU citizen, but live in the US. I will vote in an heartbeat for a 1st amendment like in an Europe law. You just don’t see how Europe speech is reatricted, and how laws like GDPR contributes to it.

Nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other country laws. My original point is that GDPR is fundamently wrong. It’s infringing with freedom of speech by making new social network harder to create for dubious privacy gains. If you think FB is wrong, the best way to take it down is to replace it, not try to make it compliant.

They already do, don’t they?

Blockchains storing social data is good example. It's infringing by nature GDPR. A decentralised facebook-like social network on the blockchain is not possible anymore. Each node can be sue. It had happened with TOR exit nodes.

If you want to run a social media platform, GDPR is infringing your freemdom of speech. You can argue that it’s worth it, for the illusion of more privacy. I just don’t think it is.

It’s worth noting that around 85% of requests based on right to be forgotten were from public figures and institutions in 2016.

The legitimate cases are rare.

Yes, both are infringing 1st amendment. It’s not because GDPR seems more acceptable than it’s not built on bad premises.

I think in the opposit we should urge US companies to fight against GDPR. Local foreign laws shouldn’t dictate how our companies should behave. Why not respecting speech laws in China or in Russia if we follow this precedent?

I don’t think allowing the police to remove their errors from the Internet is a good thing.

I agree with parent.

GDPR is a threat to freedom of speech while not changing much in term of privacy as worst actors is governements themselves. Edward Snowden revalations are 100x worse than whatever worse FB scenario you are picking.

GDPR sets a bad precedent with local laws impacting foreign businesses. In this logic, why Chinese speech laws shouldn’t apply to EU and US companies if GDPR applies globally?

> Chefs / Pastry Chefs (Delightful): Lots of people love cooking or baking (including me!) and they think that means that it would be a good career. Unfortunately, based on the basic principles of supply and demand, this leads to more people wanting to be chefs than one would see if it didn’t look so fun. Too many cooks spoil the market for restaurant labor.

I am not sure if the author ever talked to a cook or a baker.

Right to be forgotten go beyond search engines. It’s a very dangerous law.

> Rather than an easy, technical solution

If I am a search engine, and don’t comply, I am going to jail. It’s not easy nor technical.

That’s really awesome. Chargebee is spammy in my experience. Bad kind of spam. Glad Stripe is replacing them.

Yeah, even the 2x claimed is nothing compared to sublime.

Sure, Trump is the cause why Africa's kids are dying from starvation. Not local corruption, dictatorships, or genocide.

> Then there are the embarrassing things like I couldn't find the shortcut to go to the end of the current line. On Linux it's the End key - on Mac I assume it's some combination somewhere.

Crt+a. Every emacs shortcuts work everywhere in MacOS.

Allowing MJ with other drugs is a no brainer. I also very glad the author found a way to help his son and it should be let alone. However, saying things like that is not very responsible:

> But Lester Grinspoon, a psychiatrist and professor at Harvard Medical School who has been researching cannabis since the 1960s, reassured me that the worst we could do was make our son fall asleep.

One study had shown that even if there is no long term effect on adults on IQ, teenagers experience on average 10% less IQ than no consumers - even after stopped completely taken it for years. Another study has shown that if you are DNA predisposed - less than 3% of the population - MJ can induce schizophrenia reshaping the brain long term even after years after taking it. I don't fully get this is not common knowledge. Maybe, this is not hype enough and people want to not being perceived as reactionary. But, facts are facts.

> People who administer websites that use MongoDB should ensure they're avoiding common pitfalls by, among other things, blocking access to port 27017 or binding local IP addresses to limit access to servers.

Misconfigured mongodb servers are the issue here, not firewall. Default mongodb shouldn't listen blindly to any connections though.

Very impressive. I am manipulating huge amount of text data on a regular basis directly in the terminal, smoother exhaust experiment is a huge win. I wish I can give you some money right now to support the development.

More and more apps require this. It's ridiculous for even code scoring to require total access to a GitHub account.

> We believe people who write and share ideas should be rewarded on their ability to enlighten and inform, not simply their ability to attract a few seconds of attention.

Does that mean they are going to start paying people blogging? "Rewards" is a bit unclear.
