   Not so easy to skip if you're doing something with your hands - cooking, riding a bicycle, etc.

   Regarding western media, I can't say I get that impression in my corner of western europe; the image I see is of a nice place with nice people, and a messed up government. Even the online newspaper comments are usually nice!

   How so? Do you get your transactions by SMS??

   I'm not sure how it is now, but for a long time Google required you to enable SMS auth (by giving your phone number) before you could enable TOTP or other 2FA methods.

   The GDPR is not applied by courts, but by regulators, who are tasked with investigating just that sort of thing. Courts may come later, if the company disputes, I think.

   In my case, RSS is not for HN or other high-traffic sites, it's for those blogs that rarely update but which posts are always at least worth looking at. For example, Oona Räisänen posts just a few times a year, but I read every single

   Code pruning is a problem in Go too; as soon as your codebase or any of your dependencies use reflection, it gets disabled for the whole binary. A simpler alternative would be for Numpy and Pandas to provide its features as subpackages, lik

   History podcasts are pretty good, in my opinion. I currently listen to Revolutions, The History of Byzantium and The History of the Twentieth Century, and they're all quite well scripted, no babler at all.

   Is that really just Python code?? Must be over a million lines, no? I've worked with Odoo, which is a bit of a kitchen-sink (ERP, CRM, POS, sales, accounting, invoice, stock management, manufacturing control, website builder, marketing

    Everyone has to comply with the GDPR, it's just that bigger companies have extra requirements to fulfill.

    Have you tried mypy? It's a pretty good static typing system for Python - arguably better than Go's.

    While it can't compete with 2.5MB, python:3.6-alpine (which includes points 1 and 2) weighs less than 100MB. You need a lot of Python code to get to 1GB.

    A small company is also less likely to need a DPO.

    Which is why the GDPR has a reduced level of obligations for companies under 250 employees (see article 30).

    No, for EU companies, the GDPR applies to all their users worldwide, not just EU residents.

    I don't have a contract or prior agreement You mean, except for criminal law? I don't see how this is in any way equivalent to adding ads to Whatsapp.

    No. Cookies required to do something the user asked do not require consent. This is solely on the lazy and/or dishonest webdevs. See http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm#se...

    The "normalization" slur is too often thrown at those who just have their eyes wide open. Yes, we should require them. The WhatsApp founder didn't attempt that, he just hoped they wouldn't.

    Probably not good I would think, especially if you take into account the energy used to produce and ship the computer, router, etc.

    If they're fiddling with the phone while moving, yes. That's an automatic loss of three stars from me. Missing an exit is not a tragedy; hitting someone might be.

    I'm expecting good things from Snips; they're already build a device like Alexa that runs all recognition locally: https://air.snips.ai/ Making an Android frontend seems easy enough. (You can also DIY by installin

    Do you find it likely that Google is earning over $1,000 from each user? How are they getting that? I'd say the real cost is probably a couple of orders of magnitude lower.

    No. Most times I use a maps app it doesn't need my location. Let it ask only when I explicitly ask for directions from my location, or when I click on the "center on my location" button.

    HERE WeGo (formerly Nokia Maps) is ok for car navigation. Citymapper is nice if you need public transport. OsmAnd is decent as well. I do think Google Maps is the best, but the choices exist, and for some cases they work even better.
