Phobos May Have Come from Massive Impact on Mars 8 years ago

It would make sense that Phobos, like Earth's moon, was the result of an impacting object versus a captured asteroid. I would think that captured objects, such as D-class asteroids would eventually have an orbit degrade over the course of a few millennia.

GDPR compliance as a service 8 years ago

Fines are up to $10 million or 2%, but it can go up to $20 million or 4% of annual global revenue, whichever is higher. That percent, whichever is higher is the key. Facebook's 2017 revenue was ~40.7 Billion. Four percent of that amount isis ~1.6 billion

GDPR compliance as a service 8 years ago

If an EU citizen believes that their personally identifiable information was obtained without their consent, the EU GDPR allows firms to do an audit on the company. The citizen who filed the complaint would enlist help from a no-win-no-fee legal firm, meaning, if they don't win (with infractions being $10 million minimum), the citizen, who is now a client of the firm, would not be out any money. If they do win, most likely the firm would make a windfall after carving out their share of the proceeds.

I can't tell if this is a fake service or not, but blocking users from EU IP address ranges (which I'm assuming how it works) will still not stop the EU from following a trail of data that could originate from your organization.

That's the biggest thing from the EU's GDPR rules - what is your organization's data inventory, how does it map outside of your organization, and how are you securing PII?

If a complaint is made from someone who is an EU citizen, and another organization shows logs that they got this information from your web app or service, that will trigger an audit from the EU. Blocking access to a subset of IP ranges will do absolutely nothing to stop this, and will not stop the sharks once they have smelled blood.

In a sense, the EU has plain rules that you can protect against, unlike the FTC/FDA (for HIPPA etc) who are vague and will not disclose how you can protect your own organization.

Summary: $200B Broadband Scandal (2005) 9 years ago

The page mentioned that Verizon cut deployments in 13 states, and the deployments that were made were not doing equitably. What recourse is there for companies that made this commitment and still exist today? Could Verizon still be on the hook for providing these services, and if so, how can it be enforced?

Ask HN: Starting a web project in 2015. What stack to use? 11 years ago

If you're comfortable or want to learn a new stack, there are plenty to choose from.

If you want to quickly build a web project, hire some engineers, charge for your service - why not build it in RoR? This will save you time troubleshooting and learning the ropes of a new web development framework.

Also, you could always hire remote workers if it is difficult to hire locally. See: https://weworkremotely.com/
