Horeshit. There is nothing advanced about storing only the data you need. However, if you've been hoarding like crazy and weighed down with technical debt, and haven't used the last two years, then yeah, might be hard.

Yes, it's a new law, yes, in practice it will be defined by judgments. How is this different from any other new law, other than this one impacts IT harder?

And let me guess what the alternative is: do nothing.

Consider also that European law is different to US law. We draft laws and contracts in a conceptual/abstract way, whereas in the US where everything has to be exhaustive, explicit, and over-worked; just in case anybody dare sues.

GDPR recognises one-size-fits-all won't work. Yes, that means it has some vague terms. Yes, you might have to show you thought about the implementation, and that you erred on the side of privacy.

It's funny how everybody always talks about the maximum fines, not the other sanctions that the GDPR can impose. Guess that's just more sensational.
I don't get it.

There are not a number of Jews equivalent to the grains of sand nor the stars in the sky (100 billion stars x ??? trillions of galaxies?), either today or in total whom have ever existed. There will never exist a number of Jews equivalent to the number of stars in the universe. There will never at any point in the future exist a total number of people, much less just Jews, who have ever lived to match even close to the number of stars in the universe.

Why are you taking this passage in the Torah to say millions, except for the fact that that's a magnitude that is relatively close to the number of Jews? You're seeing a fit that doesn't exist.

If a Greek astronomer said there were 5000 or 9000 stars, and a Jewish astronomer said there were millions, or even billions, of stars, they would both be as far away from 10^24 (or more) by almost the same magnitude.

The Torah is not giving correct guesstimations of any of these quantities. It's vague and no more accurate than your Greek dude saying, "dunno, maybe 10,000?" It's just saying, "man, you'll have a lot of descendants." If someone told me I'd have between 5000 and 9000 descendants, I'd probably think that was quite a lot.

This doesn't strike me as particularly convincing. If it's good enough for you, then by all means. But it is anything but proof.
Your very aggressive conclusions are based on very unclear assumptions.
For the most part no (i block ads because I'm not interested in them not for privacy concerns) but I'm also not irrationally paranoid about such things.

No, waivers don't make personal data of EU disappear. Just like you can't put a waiver on front of a restaurant and start poisoning people with in unhygienic food, you also can't just waiver yourself away from being responsible with users data.
It's only unambiguous to the people who don't want to refuse to understand it because they're making profit on selling out people's data.
> Compliance is trivial.

Indeed it is: the first 100 pages of the text detailing what compliance means are a manual for how to read the remaining 5000 pages, and a warning that there will be per-country variants of the law, which I'm sure will all be very clear, made easily available and not at all weird or objectionable, or require being well-versed in the legal intricacies of said member state at all !

Well, if they like playing the lottery that's their problem. The companies that I see that are being pro-active are the companies that pass by - one per week, regular as clockwork - in my practice. So far all the companies I've looked at this year so far had a GDPR impact study or something closely resembling it done. Quite a few had engaged outside help but also plenty of them did their own homework and the vast majority had already made changes to their applications and processes to get closer to being compliant.

The Anatomy of a Great Landing Page
Yes, i'm well aware of that... I actually control the DIDs for some 800 numbers that are very valuable, we've been offered a great deal of money to transfer them. 800 remains the most valuable by far, particularly for direct sales to consumers in the US market, because it's existed for the longest amount of time. NPAs 888 and 877 are not nearly as valuable.

If you're setting up the inbound call center call routing for something like selling slapchops or asbestos-related personal injury lawyers (just as an example of television direct marketing), a vastly higher percentage of the age 55+ target market recognizes 800 immediately but is less certain about 888, 877 and others.
I have read the law, read the guidance, been through the GDPR compliance process for a data-heavy product, have talked to lawyers about the same, and my partner has drafted GDPR policies for several large tech firms. I don’t know everything, but I’m reasonably well-informed.

I’m confident that compliance is:

- Straightforward for any non-tech firm;

- More complex but not that hard for most tech firms that handle data;

- Far more complex for large organisations than small ones;

- Basically only a real problem for fly-by-night tech companies that want to operate by reselling personal data.

I’m not sure what your motivations are it making it seem disproportionately burdensome to comply with, but I don’t think they’re good.
But does US law actually require you to respond to the DMCA notice? Like, the provider loses its safe harbor, but if there's no violation of US copyright law then why does that matter? That's perhaps a different test case from the one that you intend, of course...
Yeah, that’s fair. I don’t imagine such a language would be well liked by the APL/J/K purists (“You’re missing the point!”), just that it could bring the school of thought to the masses—and maybe as a side effect, encourage people to check out the “real deal”. More of a marketing decision than a technical one.

You wouldn’t necessarily have to use explicit dataflow combinators in a wordy array language, but if you did, you might as well go all-in on function-level programming and do a concatenative language. And yeah, I’m working on a Kitten, a CPL with static types—apart from the paradigm and some similar standard APIs, it doesn’t actually have a whole lot in common with Factor; the feel I’m going for is more like postfix OCaml/Rust, whereas Factor is pretty Lispy/Smalltalky.

Sure, but isn't that a huge chunk of the web. Full of small games, services and tools that are only used by a handful of people, but those people enjoyed that thing. Just because it's niche doesn't mean it's useless. Just because Facebook has 10 orders of magnitude more users doesn't mean it's 10 orders of magnitude more useful.

There are plenty of devs out there who were running things probably at a loss, but for the sake of their community and users. Sure a few bug fixes here and there was a pain, but it was so small that it was worth it to make a couple people happy. Now they have one big reason to not keep it up.

Well then your “side project website” is unsustainable.

It’s not complex - we don’t let people away with flouting regulation because it’s burdensome. “It would make me unprofitable” is not a valid reason to ignore health and safety laws, or hygiene laws.

“I just want to run a food truck as a side project but not care about making people sick or not” is obviously ludicrous. Why is personal data somehow fair game?
With the super-chilled densified propellants, the Falcon 9 would be better off shorter and thicker to reduce surface area. However, the Falcon 9 must be ground-transported, which is why it has the same diameter restriction that the SST's SRBs had: 3.6 meter.

With no restriction on ground transport, the New Shepard can be as thick as engineering deems is necessary.

Sure. But merging legacy carriers, in my opinion, seems more likely to throttle the market's competitive features.

Would it be so terrible if the legacy airlines were thinned, and more Southwest/JetBlue/Virgin America-type newcomers showed up? As it is American, United, and Delta are the largest three airlines in the world because they all had fairly sizable mergers.

It it possible that you’ve been fleeced by your consultants? You’ve notably avoided talking what you’re doing that would require onerous compliance, details of which would go at least part way towards substantiating our rather unbelievable ideas about the cost of compliance.
Yeah, the article's predictions were pretty heavy-handed and curiously specific.

The article hinted that Japan might be eager to share development of the F-22... perhaps if the production lines were restarted, Mitsubishi could do the assembly of surplus F-22 parts with less cost.

Though, I'm not sure we'll have time to make any F-22s before Japan really needs them in the air.

1. Family comes first

2. Avoiding alcohol can do magic to your health

3. Run & exercise regularly for better physical and mental health

4. Keep your heart open.Let love seek you instead of running after it

5. Distinguish between great mentors and teachers. keep upgrading yourself time to time

6. Be very careful of what you read and what you learn out of that. And needless to say, the source.

7. A daily to-do list to be practiced on a hard form. Once a task is accomplished, strike it off the list.

8. Being empathetic to others for your mind and heart to be at peace.

9. Most of the things around us are temporary including current state of mind, the weather, our pains. Permanent decisions should not be made giving importance to temporary things.

10. Pen down everyday about anything and everything. Mastering the art will take time but venting out thoughts on the paper brings sanity.

11. Don’t be ashamed of taking feedback from those whom you respect for your own development.

12. Life is no cake walk. Failures/Criticism/Happiness, all of them are a part and parcel of the deal called life, stay equanimous.

I completely disagree. Implementing GDPR compliance should be straightforward for most startups and small businesses. Much easier, in my experience, than doing so at a large company.
What you buy is a temporary licence to use a domain, the fact that you need to renew it every year or so is a good sign that nobody "owns" a domain name (and that it was designed this way, with a limit on the number of years you can buy)

That's unlikely to be true. And people are stupid, and will use their email address - just look at e.g. the Ashley Madison hack. So for most people, it's personal information, and the law will probably treat it as such.
Just like StreetLend, most likely nothing, and it's just a fear, but again you need to realize that this is a site run purely as a hobby. I'm sorry but reading through legalese and combing my website's code to make sure it's compliant isn't part of my hobby. I'm not a company, I don't have millions of users, I just run a small tool that a few people use. Yet apparently I run the risk of being fined $20m...
> Although they mean well regulation never accomplishes its goal

Yeah man, that's why we have the safest cars and airplanes in history, because of the free market, not because of regulations. I'm sure that United Airlines, who literally dragged a passenger from their airplane, would have invested a ton in passenger safety if not forced by regulators.

Sarcasm aside, laws do work. There's a reason the most developed countries in the world have a very strong legal system. You give up a bit of freedom (which is a bit of an obsession for Americans) in exchange for a lot of protection from various nasty things people do to each other. As a result you sleep better and you get the side benefit of a special brand of freedom: freedom from fear from your fellow human beings, from their arbitrary whims (to a reasonable degree). Unregulated societies look like Somalia. Trust me, you wouldn't like that brand of freedom ;)

I automate everything I can! But maybe if I have to recommend one way, I would recommend Google Spreadsheets scripts. Similar to Visual Basic for Applications in Excel, Google Spreadsheets support Javascript and you can use them for infinite things.

Some things we use them for:

* automate the bank payments to our suppliers (exporting the table format in SEPA XML format)

* tweet some of our evergreen blog posts every day (note these scripts run in the cloud, the spreadsheets do not even need to be open)

* assist in the formatting of our newsletters (we write sections in Markdown, the script formats and uploads images to our blog, uploads the finished article and schedules)

We also use Zapier extensively. One particular automation I'm really proud of is accounting: we use Zapier to collect invoice PDFs sent by email, later on I wrote some scripts using Selenium to also log in and download invoices from websites that do not send the PDF over email. This saved me tons of time. Then a small script downloads the bank statements and puts each line in an Asana task, this way I can do reconciliation: I find the PDF invoice for every entry in the bank and put them together. It is very easy to find out which invoices you didn't download yet, if an invoice still needs payment or if you were sent an unexpected invoice. Lately I have refined this further and automated some of the matchmaking too, using Apache PDFBox to read the content of the invoices.

I won’t contue arguing with you, other than to say that what you’re saying flies in the face of everything we have been told after spending thousands of dollars on experts and independently researching the issue for hundreds of hours. If you do a simple Google search, you’ll find that we are not alone in this view, and in fact you may find yourself alone in your view that compliance is easy and costs next to nothing. Chances are quite good that if you thought it was “easy,” you’re not fully in compliance.
Some people are under the impression that ip addresses fall under "personal information". So if the user account is deleted and the associated ip logs are not deleted this would be a GDPR violation.

Another potential violation would be asking a users age(like asking their birthday), but not needing their age for the operation of the service.

It is currently unclear how rigorously GDPR will be enforced. In the extreme case of rigorous enforcement nearly all current server/frameworks would cause violations by default and would need to be overhauled.

There are a bunch of other examples in the comments that are likely violations for the site as well. It is unclear how many of these apply since it is unclear how the GDPR will be enforced.
Often my ideas have something to do with an inefficiency I've seen, or a nagging problem that doesn't seem to get the attention that it deserves.

Watch lightning in slow motion sometime. Many times before I come up with an idea, my mind is racing and seems to send out branching tendrils through resources, problems, techniques, news, people, previous ideas, etc. Like step-leaders in lightning, many alternate paths and branches are evaluated and activated. As this network expands, a solid connection forms between a problem and a solution, and BANG! An idea forms. Sometimes with many important details baked in.

I focus in on this active path, and debate the merits and ramifications and potential pitfalls. Sometimes this idea is valuable and new. Many of my ideas have nothing that would connect them to anything I've worked on before.

Often these Ideas will get lost if I do not write them down, so I always endeavor to do that. Reading through these old ideas is a good way to re-activate these pathways of invention again and generate new ideas.

This is not true. The US has parallel regulation that encourages the phase out of incandescent bulbs [1]. True to form it's a lot weaker than the EU regulation but it sends the same message.

> This regulation makes life for startups disproportionately harder than for Google and FB that already have an army of EU lawyers on payroll.

This is not true. In fact the GDPR makes it clear that for small businesses (<250 employees) most of the control burden is relieved.

Am I missing something?? Sure you could be sued, and that might end the small business. But isn’t that what limited liability companies are for?

Option 1: close it down through fear of something happening.

Option 2: close it down if the worst thing actually happens.

Either way if the small company is operating at a loss/ v small profit, it’s not going to harm you personally?
