It’s not always that simple. The opioid epidemic is largely because people use legal pain killers as a gateway drug.

Think about it from an investment perspective. The addict has typically had some semblance of public education. That cost tax payers money. Let’s call it $40k over 18 years (12 grades). That investment needs to be recouped by society for it to pay off.

Now this person has gotten addicted to drugs. We could do nothing and they might commit crimes to fund their habit and hurt innocent people but then we have to imprison them at great cost to society and we lose more potential tax revenue and productivity from the potential loss of life of victims. We could leave the addicts alone and hope they die peacefully from their addiction, knowing we lose the investment (not to mention it calls into question our morality for letting someone die when we have the resources to save them). In reality though addicts get more desperate as they get more addicted and are more likely to turn to crime. We could be proactive and imprison them at great cost to society for being addicts. During which time they gain an education of criminal behavior that helps them fall deeper into criminal activity to support their addiction.

Or we could realize that we just need to treat addicts as medical patients who can be rehabilitated if given proper treatment. This costs society money up front but helps rehabilitate addicts so they can become productive citizens again. This is not revolutionary.
Also, their main altitude target is the Karman line, which is a nice round number in the metric system (100km). So why not stick to this?
> The GDPR isn’t really that hostile to small business and it doesn’t require an understanding of law. You can hire a data protection officer at a legal firm for almost nothing, and as long as you follow their advice on how to pass audits, you’re really not in trouble.

So many contradictions in one paragraph.
WTF... The GDPR is only the continuation of the current regulation. If they can't follow it now, it's probably they were already not respecting it before.

And all in all, it really looks like a way to get out without having to admit some other failure.

Without privacy shield, I guess the EU might still try to go through the US court system to have a foreign claim enforced in the US.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in that case, if the US court system is willing to enforce GDPR fines on their side, that would be a win for the EU (the US has been doing this for ages)
When judging a burden to be reasonable or unreasonable for a company are you talking from the perspective of the business owner or simply as a spectator of the whole shit-show?

Because things are quite different when you start digging and trying to implement GDPR as opposed to just reading about it.

> and that even severe sleep deprivation poses no real risk of poor performance, health troubles or early death.

I struggle to see how anyone that has or even seen someone with severe sleep deprivation can say this with a straight face.

You stop functioning as a human. You can not think straight, and it's not "oh, silly me I forgot I needed to serialize access to this function" kind of thinking, but more like - "oh, have I always had foot on my left leg?".

Yes, often stress of not sleeping is the reason for not being able to sleep. I just have a hard time imagining that I could convince someone with sleep problems to actually believe that it isn't bad. Yet people in this thread seem to agree... So I might be wrong on that.

My mother used to work odd hours and always maintained that it isn't that bad to just rest rather than sleep if you're unable to. I truly wished I believed that but my experience has been quite the opposite. I could just as well run a marathon as lying awake in bed and I'd be equally exhausted the next day.

This is also in collision with something that has worked well for me, just get up if you can't sleep. Do not condition your brain that it is OK to lie down in bed awake. That's a habit you don't want to get into, better get up and do something for about an hour and try again. It sucks and it's hard to motivate yourself to get up 03:30 in the morning because you want to be able to sleep in the future, but in the long run it is worth it.

And that advice (echoed by many) is quite in collision course with the advice here.

Not saying that either is "right", but for me lying in bed awake just does not work. And I've really tried to commit to it.

I find that various groups will do exactly as you say in various ways. In my particular surroundings, for example, there are some who do as you describe, but most actually do the opposite: the incels/alt-right/sad nerds are openly mocked, and the jihadist is purely a victim of circumstance.

Personally I'd like it if we could just empathize with all of these 'culprits' and actually do something about the situation, even if just for one of these groups, rather than argue about who deserves more empathy or sympathy.
Again, there's nothing particularly 'preferential' about Ireland's tax rates. Other countries, such as the aforementioned France, had much more preferential effective ones. The difference is that our rate is more transparent because the effective rate isn't all that different from the headline rate.

So no, it wasn't.

GDPR is for the most part making explicit things were implicit in the pre existing EU legislation, many of which have been subject to EU court rulings. There is a ton of precedent.
There are a number of glaring issues with this argument.

First of all, it's difficult to identify who the "bank robbers" were/are.

For example, I'm irish- my ancestors never owned slaves, and were frequently discriminated against, despite being "white". But being white, I still get lumped in with the bank robbers. Don't you dare tell me what money is or isn't mine based on the color of my skin.

Second, the bank robber analogy is a bit "sins of the father"-esque for me. That's a scary slippery slope. Should we make modern Germans pay Israel reparations, 70 years later? Should we promote Jews over Germans in Germany, to make up for the momentum lost? Or do we only help "struggling races"? And if so, who decides what is a struggling race? Isn't the entire idea of saying an entire race is struggling and needs (un)fair advantages a bit like the bigotry of incompetence?

Your viewpoint has a lot of problems of its own.
Useful tool! Well done Peter!
All laws are broad. The current practice is either written in more specific (easilier modifiable documents) from the agencies or defined by "current best practice".

In (western) european law there is a "bonus pater" consideration, which means did you expend a reasonable effort to know and be compliant.

The same goes for all other legislation.

I for one am awaiting a visit by the work-safety agency within the next month (the have notified me, that they drop in unannonced with the next 1 to 3 months) two months ago.

That too is neboulus legislation, but I am confident that I have offered my best effort to make the workplace safe, and I am likely to not have any greater reactions that a verbal instruction to be better on certain points (if I have overlooked something).

> Why? Did they do anything noteworthy or exceptional?

Yes, they are collapsing due to being overworked in one of the most valuable corporations in 21st century. The fact that a lot of people seems to be so dismissive about this fact is a very scary thought, and I happen to be pretty liberal when it comes to economics. This is an anomaly that should be addressed with a lot more attention.

>Look, it's not hard to encrypt all personally identifiable information; there are ready-made frameworks that let you choose which DB columns you encrypt and how. You can generate a key for each user on creation and have their data encrypted with it. The problem is NOT that. The problem is what happens if a legal firm or an agency targets you.

The problem is also not botching the encryption process -- and relying blindly on some "ready-made frameworks" is a sure-fire way to do that.
Not really no. Not all regulations are like that. These will most likely go after fb very directly.

Yeah I struggle to see how all these businesses which are panicking over GDPR could ever have been compliant with, for example, the UK DPR which has been in effect for a very long time and has many of the same requirements.

The biggest change going to GDPR is clearer definitions of what a data controller is and data processors and new restrictions on "automated decision making".

The ability to view, delete and demand data be accurate has long been a requirement of meeting UK data protection laws and I'm sure many other countries too.

It seems that businesses just ignored the law until it came with fines worth worrying about. A bit like the VATMOSS changes where US businesses were worrying they would have to start dealing with EU VAT even though that was the case previously.
Has been on HN several times and also commented that title is misleading. Trial only just started.
Apart from selling services related to the GDPR, such as helping companies with complience or helping individuals report problems, they won't. It seems a lot of people haven't even read the cliff notes version but are happy to proclaim the sky is falling. The GDPR will be enforced only via the appropriate agencies in each country where it is law.

First, European law works differently, and the way we write laws is different. You can't interpret them in the context of the US law system, where everything must be ultra-explicit and overworked. Also, only regulators can levy the fines/sanctions, they don't result from law suits from individuals.

Second, Europeans take privacy serious, and it's a right for us, similar to free speech in America. Also, while not as bad as some medical risks, identity theft is not fun. But, yeah, the risks are different, and the GDPR is pretty mild compared to medical laws, no? I mean in Europe, you can't advertise prescription drugs.

Third, Europe is not claiming every company in the world must comply.

But if you're mad at governments overreaching, maybe you could sort out the requirements FATCA/US tax law puts on foreign banks, or the US attempting to extradite "cyber criminals" before you get to the GDPR?

The fact that it is liquid at relatively balmy temperatures makes it a bit easier to handle than most gases, but then you better have great urethane seals, gloves and clothing everywhere. (Silicones are permeable, PTFE is damaged over time, nitrile and vinyl gloves also leak.)
It's the EU, not the USA. There will be no lawsuits. Compliance agency will check, they will report to the business, the business gets time to fix it. Unless very negligent, there will be fines.
Even if this was the case - if companies treating their customers' data like shit vanish from the European market, I'd be really happy. Not a big loss at all. :)

Additionally, leaving the European market opens up a big opportunity for EU-companies. Basically, that's the way to go if you want to wreck American dominance over the Internet (and the companies which matter know that very well, which is exactly why they are NOT dropping the EU).

For European citizens it's a win either way.
That's why nobody is impressed by your threats - they just look like people pissed off because the EU is now doing what the USA had been doing for decades - meddling in other countries sovereignity. (If you want to interpret it that way, which imho is wrong.)

Maybe because you're subconsciously thinking "I wont function as a human tomorrow" the whole time ;)
Yeah, I’m pretty well-informed about what’s going on, and work for both a data-heavy tech company and a start-up. We’re implementing some changes to deal with the requirements, and it’s fine. I’ve yet to hear from anybody about what specifically is difficult to comply with, beyond “it’s all a mess” or “shit-show” etc.
Well internet is a connected place. Same things happen when US changes their policy. Foe example new net neutrality laws will probably somehow affect the whole world.

I.e. see http://sweden.com/ vs http://sweden.se/

Or http://www.skatteverket.se/ vs http://www.skatteverket.com/ for that matter.

From my experience .com is the de-facto domain for international commercial entities. For my personal domain I use hultner.se
It’s worth noting that HN doesn’t comply to any of the 4 points. Should we should it down? I don’t think so.
This nails it better than I could.

Misuse of personal data has a cost. If companies do not want to deal with data in a responsible way, it is correct that they no longer do business in the EU.

This does not resonate with my experience. In the US, reporters will often describe sentences as "up to 1024 years", but the actual sentences are different. See https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentenc...

Note that, in parallel to the EU regulation, the statutory maximums can be enacted(ever since Booker judges can use their discretion again), but in reality most judges rule within the sentencing guidelines.
> Streetlend made its money by selling your privacy data to advertisers through Amazon. So when you put up a power drill for lend, people would see power drills for sale at local shops, based on their online presence harvested through stuff like their Facebook account.

If you mean he just slapped some Amazon ads on his site to support his side project, then accusing that guy of "selling your privacy data" requires quite a bit of mental gymnastics and is a pretty dishonest description of the facts.

The blame here is wholly with the users for putting their data online in the first place (really, you can go a very long way with my.fake.name@gmail.com!) and especially Facebook for providing the framework that enables this all.

You just made up your own reality.
The "receipt" was just a slip working as a proof to the client that the repair has been made. Technically in Italy you have to always give a receipt to the client, reporting how much they paid. If it's zero, you have to clearly state that and motivate it. Example:

repair: 700$
subsidized cost by Apple: 700$
Grand Total: 0

The consumer gets complete transparency and has a proof of work in his hands. Nothing to do with an Apple decision. And even if it were, how would that be bad?
I'm pretty sure most overreacting responses I am reading about come from Americans and little-used services. I think many of them might just be trying to get some kind of publicity and sympathy, playing on the "regulation is bad" theme.

None of the actual businesses I work with, in Europe, most of which actually do handle personal data, are actually worried or even annoyed (much less considering shutting down).

From what I see, these overreactions are also in great part due to a lack of understanding of how law works outside the US - ie. maximum fines are just a maximum, letter of the law is not what counts most, the government isn't out to get you, judges don't have any incentive to extract money from you, etc.

Decoupled authentication from your application should be part of any base architecture these days.

The article is thin on details, but adding SAML authentication to the mix shouldn't be terribly difficult if you have somebody on board or bring somebody in who knows it already.

Learning how to do it without any experience is fraught with problems. The documentation is hard to absorb with all kinds of abstracted out concepts and important settings that are easy to overlook (like requiring encrypted assertions). And really, the more you dig into it the more complex it seems to be, when on the surface the concept is very simple. Unfortunately, that's one of the reasons that libraries supporting SAML aren't as widely available as they should be given it's age.

It's kind of like SOAP. If you know what you're doing and you've done it before, it's simple. If you're brand new to it, you're left twitching and angry at the end of a weekend coding session.

Regardless, decouple your authentication mechanisms and be prepared to add support for a new technology as necessary. Don't just think about end users, think about automation, how you might support it, and how it behaves differently.
Yeah, but extradition treaties generally require "dual criminality", that the offense be a crime in both countries. If your offense wasn't a crime in the USA, then you probably won't get extradited; and if it was, then the USA probably has jurisdiction too (assuming you were physically here when you did it), so the USA can prosecute you itself.
The penalties for noncompliance are supposed to be “effective, proportionate and dissuasive”, and can start off with warnings. The law only has the headline figures as upper limits (plus damages, IIUC).

This doesn’t feel particularly onerous, especially as any good business plan will include getting public liability insurance for inevitable occasional serious mistakes.
