The repo appears to be actively seeking conflict/flamewar. So while it doesn't disappear it isn't promoted. That seems sensible even if not everyone will agree. It is also precisely the same approach to the problem the HN is

Does "in the Union" has to mean geographical presence? As far as I can tell it may mean legal membership?

I think GDPR applies to EU citizens no matter where they are? So while this will work for most cases, it doesn't really give you immunity?

Maybe they just want to show off to discourage any trouble makers (including political ones)?

Now, how about making the cars into delivery servers for other nearby cars?

Looks like HAARP is rather limited in comparison, I don't think it can affect the ionosphere so drastically. But yeah the same kind of device, just less potent.

We sure need to study the ability to affect the ionosphere. And then people will build weapons capable of doing it in suitable ways. Unless they already have those.

Ok so you should take care of the data you posses now, but if you have shared the data with third party then I guess this is now their business to obey the law? I just don't see how you could possibly be forced to go and police everyon

Is GDPR retroactive? I doubt so.

I'm afraid this is the kind of problem where there is no easy solution. Is there any specific improvement you would like to propose?

The reliability of these systems is indeed quite impressive, yet it simply isn't a requirement for most of our day to day equipment. OTOH some heavy duty machinery can be very reliable.

Give this post a little more exposure on the top of HN and he may well be soon past his target of 700 copies.

Your argument is based on an opinion - "praying is irrational (because it clearly cannot work)" - that religious people do not hold! If they were to share your opinion I guess most would abandon the practice. In this context one c

You do, but a little formality first: can you please prove, definitely, the size of the proton? There are conflicting opinions floating around...

Broken software does not typically kill people or makes you loose money (time or some other resources, maybe). In contrast bridges that fall apart tend to kill people in a nasty way. They are also quite hard to reboot.

If you require it surely you can get it if you pay for that?

They moved too much plutonium into the same room, risking nuclear reaction. Perhaps they should use software to track the movement of materials which would forbid the move from taking place when the end result would be dangerous? This begs

Bit depressing to read about such low latencies given every day I have to work with 500ms+ latencies due to remote access to the VM I work on.

There are things that benefit from the economy of scale (e.g. factories) and then there are those that don't. Laundry is clearly in the second league: all the machines are independent of each other so the whole thing can (and usually i

This statement is, again, surprising to me: to connect a washing machine all you really need is water, sink and electricity. I can't imagine a kitchen without these things and indeed, a washing machine was often put in kitchens. The ot

Interesting. For a generally rich country the economics seems odd. In contrast, my grandmother was definitely not a wealthy person and she could still put aside the money for the washing machine in the height of the communism. There were no

This is very impressive, but keeps me wondering - how is this engine better than the stuff you can just go and buy in the shop? This is an honest question, I have no clue what are the benefits here (besides obvious coolness factor!).

Great read as usual. They are doing a big service to the people out there by hunting bugs like this one and putting the pressure on the vendors to fix their products.
