Great story and all, but this piece is obviously written as an attack on Trump for things he didn't do, and failures that never happened to him. When will the media get that this doesn't work?

So now the EU is in charge of how I decide to build my app, and is trying to dictate what suppliers I can use? What if I decide that crash reporting is an essential service (it is), and the EU's lawyers decide that it's not? Who i

So the rest of the world should get annoyed with the opening dialog, so that the EU doesn't have to get blocked? Sounds like this could be solved by a proper solution, which the GDPR is not.

by relics443 8y ago
I'm beginning to highly doubt that anyone defending the GDPR has ever had any responsibilities that included: 1. Running a tech company 2. Funnels, conversions, and retentions 3. Writing software Either that or they just want to watch

Did you read any further? If I can't prevent them from using the app, then I have to solve an impossible problem. Namely providing a fallback for core services that the app is built on.

by relics443 8y ago
Don't worry. The GDPR does a bang up job of devaluing itself.

Yes. Besides for the administration costs incurred (which is probably the real killer), the list of death points are: 1. Adding a dialog as the first step in an onboarding funnel that's already difficult to get users through 2. Handlin

Unfortunately those competitors will crash and burn when their users get pissed off at the opening dialog.

Oh the law. Good one. The same law that fined me $1,800 because a posted notice fell off my door in a blizzard? The same law that allowed the judge to uphold the fine by saying "I don't believe you". Bureaucracy sucks, and th

I think you mean "can't see a reason not to honestly, ONLY if it's valid". And even that's morally ambiguous.

Really? Most of what I've seen from outside the industry is akin to "GET THIS ING DIALOG OFF MY SCREEN I HATE IT WHEN THE FIRST THING AN APP DOES IS SHOW A ING POINTLESS DIALOG WHEN I JUST WANT TO USE THE APP"

I've heard conflicting reports about that as well.

I don't see what leaking personal information has to do with collecting crash data, or using Google's infrastructure to store my data. Why should I have to be on the hook for what is most definitely much safer than trying to safeg

by relics443 8y ago
My point is, I have no clue what's collecting data in an improper way, and I'm not going to hire a lawyer for a hobby app. The amount of conflicting information about whether I do or don't need consent based on what services

I'm still struggling with the fact that the EU can compel me to add what will be a funnel shattering dialog to my onboarding. I've shelved a bunch of side projects that I was excited to work on because I have no interest in dealin

Slightly off topic, but towards the end, he mentions that: "Though they experienced homophobia and struggled financially..." This particular case aside, why is all negativity towards homosexuality grouped into homophobia? Is anyon

YMMV but it improves my experience because I get to use all these great products and features Google has, without lifting a finger, and in most cases without paying a penny. All I have to do is ignore the ads on my screen (which my brain se

Have you considered that there are people out there with values that differ from yours? It's not wildly impossible, regardless of what the screaming minority would have you believe. Maybe they don't have a problem with working on

I discovered the feature by mistake, and I thought it was cool. I usually browse Wikipedia on my phone, so I don't know if I'd still think it was cool if there are constant false positives on it.

This is typical of new languages. A good showcase of dogfooding.

I'm comfortable with most advanced git stuff. I don't touch submodules.

I'm deferring to the reasons why it's a law.

"Things like murder are criminalized because they involve the infringement upon the rights of others against their will." Correct, that's why murder is criminalized, and not the reason why prostitution is criminalized.

by relics443 8y ago
I think the question you mean to ask is why criminalize anything, and IMO that's out of the scope of this forum. But once you receive the answer to your real question, the reason why prostitution is criminal, while yoga pants are not s

I wouldn't be so quick to say it doesn't harm anyone else. It's not so far fetched to imagine a married family man acting on an impulse to hire a prostitute. It's a situation where if one wasn't so easily available,

1. Static typing without having to deal with TS 2 (main reason). Our codebase has turned into a disaster, and we realized that none of our node developers are senior despite what their resume says; our interview process was more geared towa

While this is a very sad story, it doesn't change the fact that prostitution is illegal. Even if it helped save her life, it's still illegal. Until it is made legal (not happening in the US), there is no argument that should work

Almost every one that has an Android app :/ We're also moving ahead with our plan to replace node with the jvm for our backend.
