GDPR outside of the EU (for purely non-EU entities) is a non sequitur there are zero internal processes to make it work.

Lets take the most basic example the GDPR does not apply in a vacuum it's enforced and supported by Data Protection Agencies (DPA) in each member state which are responsible to ensure that companies in those member states comply with EU regulation like the GDPR within the context of local laws and regulations.

The DPA is responsible for the application of the GDPR within it's member state (and it's power is limited to that member state only but the GDPR does have a few venues for applying a local DPA directive across member state lines) it's also responsible for handling complaints in that state and it provides directives and advice to both law makers and the industry.

If I'm a UK company and need to deal with the GDPR (till Brexit do us part) I work with the ICO which is the UK Data Protection Agency. While other DPA might affect me the ICO is my primary source of both advice and enforcement and any issues that might originate in another DPA would still pass through the ICO.

Now I am a company in don't know where lets take Argentina I want to sell to EU customers which DPA do I answer too? which DPA to I ask for advice? How do I arbitrate complaints filed against me and to which DPA do I prove I handled data disclosure requests in a manner compliant with the GDPR? which DPA would know my local laws to ensure if my application with the GDPR was complaint with local data retention and lawful access laws?
In fact other than going through my own state/trade department and organizations what venue do I have as a non-EU resident and a non-EU entity to any EU services and resources.

The question to all of this is none as a non-EU company there is fuck all you can do even if you want to comply with the GDPR.
You are arguing for the easement of separation of state and the judiciary via executive fiat. This would be the most significant retrograde of constitutional development.
You suggest an exemption for startups? Wait until a Facebook decides to buy all their 'analytics' from a small startup they funded, basically circumventing the whole GDPR.

FATCA was designed to apply to non-US entities it provides clear definitions and channels on what to do and who do you work with, the GDPR has no functional models for non-EU entities.
No, a given assembly is easy to verify. The complexity in actual application comes from the fact that performing the sequencing part (the biological/mechanical part) again will yield a different assembly due to biological and technical variability. Another complexity comes from the fact that you can define different measures of “goodness” (and hence optimality), depending on which errors you model.

But from a computational standpoint, sequence assembly (using a given error metric) is simply NP-hard.

What aspects of the law are disastrous for startups? What startups might see as a "massive regulatory burden", I see it as, at long last, a means of finally holding irresponsible companies to account.

The spirit of the law is really quite simple; my personal data is an extension of me, and if you want to store or process it, you need a legal basis for doing so, and need to be able to demonstrate this legal basis to me. If your startup is at odds with this, well then perhaps you're not the kind of company the EU wants to be doing business with.

This article is strikes a rather alarmist tone which isn't warranted. This reef has been around in some form for 2M years and has experienced average global temperatures about 10 degrees colder and warmer. Reefs in the Arabian/Persian Gulf survive seawater temperatures about 8 degrees warmer than this one.

If the heat is killing them, they just need time to adapt.

I think the point is not to become a chip producer, but to cut a hard point of dependency. My point is easier to understand for software development. Imagine a society outsourcing 100% of its software development. If it has a problem with a provider, it has no other solution than to ask another one. As all providers have similar business logic, the problem may not be solved. Imagine the society outsources only 95% of its software development. It has a lot more power over its providers because it can decide to do conflictual projects in-house. IMHO all societies should keep technical expertise of their key technologies by having some internal developments (software and if possible hardware).
Seeing this genuinely suprised me. I have been working on exactly the same topic that you have mentioned. Coinami[0], Coin-Application Mediator Interface is a blockchain application where scientific problems are distributed like grid and solvers are awarded by cryptocurrency. I will not go into detail but our first prototype was distributing read mapping to volunteers.

Now, I will list the problems we have encountered along the way.

First, you need problem suppliers. Blockchain does not need a problem supplier, hash puzzle is adjustable.

Second, proof-of-whatever must be very easy to verify. I mean the ratio between solving proof-of-whatever and verifying it must be really high. Unfortunately, read mapping is not a problem like that. Yes it is still NPC but verification takes way longer time than what is required.

Finally, privacy concerns. You must use encrypted, anonymized and distributed data. Current read mapping techniques do not accommodate to such needs. There are proposals[1] to satisfy these requirements but they do focus on hybrid cloud techniques which means network bandwidth is not a concern for them. However, blockchain applications are greatly concerned with network bandwidth.

Where's the burden? Only collect the data you need; tell people what you're collecting and why; only keep it for as long as you need; keep it safe.

These are not burdens.
According to [1] (which has more info on the antenna design), the resonant cavity antenna was designed by a company called Proant [2]. I remember reading the the antenna is the same on the Pi 3 and Zero W. There are a few options for PCB antenna design software out there, but I had never seen this type of PCB antenna before the Zero W. Not sure what software they use, or whether it's off the shelf or proprietary. Any antenna designers out there?

In the long run it would not change a thing. Personal data is a huge business, Facebook demise would just put some smoke and mirrors in the media, then their customers would be sucked in by Google and others, at the same conditions.

Limiting corporations power would be one thing but I don't expect any politician to move in that direction when either they're lobbied/bribed by the same entities they should limit, or face the risk of having their career destroyed (search for "mccarthysm").
Governance is not a technological problem in and of itself. Technology is a set of tools that is neutral, it can be used to power democracy and it can be used to power tyranny and fascism.

Also, many countries that call themselves democracies actually aren't. There are very few actual democracies, the only country that really manages to cross the line for me is Switzerland, it is also the only country where the citizens will associate themselves with the decisions taken by the government in conversation as in 'we decided that' rather than 'the government decided that'. That's the first and only time I've come across that phenomenon, everywhere else the government is seen as a force outside of control of 'ordinary people' even if they nominally have the vote and the power.

The law could have easily been tailored to target large social media companies. Instead it applies to everyone, including tiny businesses who accidentally have one European visitor.

I'm strongly considering simply taking down all my old blogs/sites because it's far too much work to deal with GDPR for anything less than a medium-sized business.

I would not be at all surprised if the second will come within most of our lifetimes. Probably under something akin to a wartime economy.

It will come when climate change is obvious even to the most arrogant denier troll. It won't be pretty, for anyone. We'll get to watch governments trying to force things whilst our major infrastructures are still built for economics of short term growth and ignoring externalities.
It's pretty crazy to me that people can feel this way after things like the Equifax breach. Equifax was sitting on all that data that people didn't even know they were included in, and probably didn't even WANT Equifax to possess.

But that's just business as usual, businesses are allowed to do things we consider morally wrong because that's just how things work.

And the second a law springs up that helps out the little guy, it's a massive governmental overreach. How dare government actually try to help people, think of all the businesses they are hurting!

> The long read technology comes with a drawback though – high error rates in sequencing of between 15%-40%

These error rate estimates are seriously outdated (the quoted number is from a 2015 paper but it was obsolete pretty much as soon as that paper was published). Long-read technologies are evolving rapidly, so this is important. The state of the art is working with error rates of at most 15% (but usually much less), which, after correction, go down below 8% [1].

This is crucial because it makes the difference between a successful and a failed assembly: 40% error rate essentially means that you need different algorithms to perform sequence assembly (as the article notes, error correction takes up “orders of magnitude” more time than actual assembly).

I’d therefore be curious how this Darwin setup performs against conventional, state-of-the-art sequence assembly with state-of-the-art long read sequencing data.

Possibly. Copyright laws protect closed source hardware/software everywhere, so anyone putting spyware into a closed source chip would gain one more perfectly legal layer of protection against auditors.

The higher accident rate in general aviation is due to a lot of factors, but almost certainly not because flying a large jet is 'easier'.

Julia's Drawings (Drawings about programming)
You're using a non sequitur. Equifax is of course a massive data processor which should be regulated. Choosing to instead regulate every single person who even accidentally has an IP address in their logs somewhere is the overreach.

This helps massive corporations (who can afford to comply) and hurts small businesses which cannot.

Not the OP but there's literally nothing in the comment you're replying to that would indicate that.

We pay garbos to transport garbage to landfill, and perhaps sort it for recycling. The OP was clearly talking about the cost of environmntal degradation caused by landfill, which the person disposing of the garbage doesn't currently pay for. I can throw away a kilo of batteries and a kilo of banana peels (no compost in my apartment) and it would cost the same.

Another example would be the gulf between the landed gentry and the nouveau riche. You can buy a mansion and a fancy car, but you can't buy class. You'll be spotted as a moneyed prole the moment you open your mouth or pick up a fork.

Among the cosmopolitan elite, conspicuous consumption is considered utterly gauche; status in this subculture is demonstrated through knowledge of art and culture, through holding the right political opinions and being up on the right trends. Those same cultural status symbols would mark you as low-status in a conservative rural community.

A high-status advertising executive instantly becomes low-status if they're in a room full of hackers or conceptual artists, because their status is denominated in the wrong currency - they're just a sell-out. The symbols of their economic status actively undermine their cultural status. In certain circles, driving a Mercedes and wearing Armani are symbols of a life wasted in the corporate machine.

All status symbols are relative and context-dependent.
Laws are not code. You could have the exemption be based on the number of individuals whose data is processed, for example: Facebook can use as many shells as they want, but they'd still need to comply if they want to look at their massive user base, but my small business with a few dozen customers wouldn't need to worry.

I kinda get the need for commercial drivers to not obey laws most of us are scared of. They are being overworked because of us, and our convient buying patterns.

That said, I would love to see fees/fines for mini code violations tied to a person's/company's Income.

I get a $50 parking ticket. Why--because I'm poor. (My biggest fear is getting a ticket. These high priced tickets are a real concern for people like myself.)

> "Try to get your status just a little above or below your partner's," I said, and I insisted that the gap should be minimal. The actors seemed to know exactly what I meant and the work was transformed. The scenes became "authentic," and actors seemed marvellously observant. Suddenly we understood that every inflection and movement implies a status, and that no action is due to chance, or really "motiveless." It was hysterically funny, but at the same time very alarming. All our secret manouverings were exposed. If someone asked a question we didn't bother to answer it, we concentrated on why it had been asked. No one could make an "innocuous" remark without everyone instantly grasping what lay behind it. Normally we are "forbidden" to see status transactions except when there's a conflict. In reality status transactions continue all the time. In the park we'll notice the ducks squabbling, but not how carefully they keep their distances when they are not.

I'd argue that if one wants to ensure that the whole lineage will be with us 20 years from now, the first step is to make sure that the software is still alive 20 years from now. And using a mailing list is a good way of starving your project to death, if you're not Git or Linux or Postgres.

And I'm even worried about those... what will happen in a few years/decades from now, when the generation of devs that are using mailing lists is not active anymore?

The scope of personal data is disastrously large and the guidance is fuzzy at best.

Take, for example, my old blog. It has commenting enabled and a standard Apache config (where logs include IP addresses). If I want to comply with GDPR, I have to do a bunch of work around log rotation/encryption, provide tools for old commenters to go back and remove their information, and this is even the simple case that I'm not using any 3rd-party analytics.

No part of my "business model" is attempting to profit from personal data yet I have to jump through a bunch of new hoops.

And you have to give a credit. And you can't use too much of it (lest somebody think you're sponsored by the BBC). And you cannot denature the collection or remove tracking or branding from it.

It's a very logical extension of the project that became Open Compute, which started at Facebook back in 2009 and was announced two years later [1].

Facebook has been running its own datacenters, first in colos and now fully purpose-built, for nearly a decade and a half at this point. That hardware design done by a company isn't familiar to you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And that's not even mentioning the now nearly four years old Oculus acquisition or the resources Facebook has been pouring into AI/ML research and applications.
