I think Church and religion can also fill a similar role. As someone who isn't active in any religion, I notice that coworkers who are tend to have a lot of social activities and presumably friends as a result of their participation.

Yeah, this all seems strange to think that young women are only coerced into relationships with old men. I have seen many young women court older men for various reasons. The term sugar daddy comes to mind. One can question the basis of suc

I enjoyed Sandworms. At some point, I was so sucked into the Dune universe that any continuation would have intrigued me.

Well said. I always bristle when I read an articles drawing such conclusions.

With GDPR no backup can be kept more than 60 days.

Honestly, the biggest problem with GDPR is it's current implementation, i.e. the on demand wipeouts.

Are you sure that GDPR only concerns itself with PII information. In other words, is it legal to collect information about users as long as it isn't tied to PII? I consider PII to be things like name, Social Security Numbers, a credit

> Not sure how when all that changes is the clock. This is most surely not the case. Many data stores are simply dated collection of files. With fixed expiration for all data you can simply implement GDPR with things like TTLs and making

What constitutes proper justification for keeping information?
70.
by fromMars 7y ago
That's a fair point. It isn't public information. But, GDPR applies to any information, even if it isn't available publicly.

Anecdotally, I thought that many companies just decided to exit the European market because the costs of GDPR were so high.

This is so simplistic. There are many storage solutions for many different use cases. Some of these are write once and immutable afterwards. There are relational structures for transaction history that may also link to customers. These all

I don't believe that is true. Credit Bureau's and Insurance companies have information about every place you have lived and worked, what school you attended. The actual ratings may be waited on information in the last X years. Als

This is a strawman. You are talking personally identifiable information and data usage policies which is an entirely different thing than the requirement for all data to be deleted.

by fromMars 7y ago
Agree, and it doesn't even exist in most domains. I can't expunge my school transcripts or information from credit bureaus. Do we really think a society where there is no public information about people better?

I am sure I will get downvoted to oblivion, but I think GDPR is a colossal waste of time and money. I think mandatory do not track settings are great, but the right to be forgotten is to onerous to implement and not present in other domains

Second the Aluffi book. A brilliant treatment of Abstract Algebra from a categorical point of view.

There are too many code words in that post to take it seriously. What did he mean by "elite", etc.?

by fromMars 8y ago
I agree. I am not sure that any substantial "loss of privacy" has even occurred. Just to posit an example, Banks and Credit Bureaus have long tracked extensive information about us including where we have lived, worked, and what w

I am believer in promoting from within for the most part. At the companies I have worked at, hiring people directly into principal roles hasn't worked well. Invariably, they struggle to fulfill that role because they don't have en

Just because it makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean it makes everyone uncomfortable. I agree with the previous user that it isn't that different than what Nielsen does to collect TV ratings. Maybe Facebook's execution here w

God, I get sick of these articles on hacker news. The same regurgitated horse bleep . This has become a meme around here to laud articles like this that use not so subtle words like "surveillance" and "manipulate" to su

Just curious, were you working while you studied? How did you manage this?

I'm with you but I think it depends on the person. I have actually found people to be very different in this regard. For instance, I work in data science and a lot of my peers like to learn about new techniques by applying them to real

I think Pearl is more a theoretician. I believe some of his descendants have done some work that might qualify. But, I agree that it would be nice if Pearl used real world problems using his methodology.

Sad day for me. Honestly, I'm more scared of the negative economic impact of Amazon than Google. I am big fan of brick and mortar businesses.
