I have been avoiding a lot of sites since the election, largely because they can't seem to let the 2016 election go. Reddit is the biggest, I used to use Reddit a lot, now I'll use it a bit but generally I avoid all but a few subreddits. The others are unbearable, /r/politics is a swamp itself. I am willing to bet a lot of people have dropped off because politics is virtually unavoidable on Facebook. Meanwhile on Instagram, there are very few political posts. Facebook also changed their algorithm and now I see all kinds of stuff I literally do not care about at all, I find myself muting people all the time.

I follow GQ on Facebook and even things they post are so political it's unnerving. Everything has been politicized, people are burned out. I can't even watch a late night talk show anymore without political news being shoved down my throat; so why would I log into Facebook and see what my old classmate or uncle thinks? I am a very active Twitter user, but the crowd I follow sees politics and the media obsession with it as it is, largely a joke.
Heh, me too! It was only in the past year that I've discovered NUMTOT and other fun groups, and my enjoyment of FB has increased a lot since I've joined them.
Agreed. Something that got lost in the JavaEE world was that design patterns are there to make the problem easier to solve by leveraging the solution to a similar problem.

> I do not have the resources to hire a Data Protection Officer (DPO) or EU Representative as required by GDPR.

Lots of people are responding to the DPO side of this sentence, saying that it's not as onerous as the author of this article is making it sound, but as someone who's also not based in the EU it's the "EU Representative" part that I'm more worried about myself.

Article 27 says:

> (1) Where Article 3(2) applies, the controller or the processor shall designate in writing a representative in the Union.

Article 3(2) is the bit that says the GDPR applies to processing outside the EU of EU citizens' data etc.

> (2) The obligation laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article shall not apply to:
> a) processing which is occasional, does not include, on a large scale, processing of special categories of data as referred to in Article 9(1) or processing of personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences referred to in Article 10, and is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, taking into account the nature, context, scope and purposes of the processing; or
> b) a public authority or body.

It's clear here that not everyone outside the EU needs to have an EU representative, but 2a is wordy and confusing enough that it's real hard for a non-EU non-lawyer to figure out with certainty whether or not they need one. The ambiguous combination of 'and's and 'or's don't help, but 'unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons' sounds like something that's ambiguous enough on its own that you might need an EU lawyer to actually interpret it.
Running a small business in a way that is compliant with the law is stupidly easy: know the law.

There are professionals who spend their entire careers just "knowing" very specific parts of the law, and who are still frequently found to have misinterpreted it when tested in court.

Is doing your company's annual financial returns also stupidly easy, because you just have to know accountancy?

What about security? Just write all the software you use yourself based on your expert knowledge of cracking and cryptography?

Incidentally: not knowing you are breaking a law is no excuse for breaking the law, ignorance is not a valid defense.

This is possibly the greatest conceit in the history of legal systems. No human being in any Western nation could even read every word of law that applies to them in an entire lifetime, never mind fully understand the implications and the motivations behind those words that might be relevant to interpretation. Ignorance may not be a legal defence, but not being magically aware of the sum of all human knowledge about every legal system that you interact with is certainly a reasonable excuse for doing something illegal but otherwise apparently ethical and sensible.

If this is the sort of enforcement we can expect, this could suck: https://ico.org.uk/action-weve-taken/enforcement/sse-energy-...
(there are several others, this one is just interesting because it's a very simple mistake with very minimal PII)

Also, my understanding is Germany allows for whistle-blowers to take a cut of fines. Language in the GDPR calls for over-estimating damages for loss of PII when compensating individuals as well.

Generally, I appreciate the GDPR. That said, it's a huge burden trying to go through many dozens of workflows, technical or otherwise, where (typically minimal) PII is recorded, catalog them, limit (and purge) intake of data to bare minimums, create documentation supporting said workflows to be able to provide the SA's, create a plan for being able to search ALL those workflows/databases/spreadsheets/apps that have PII to supply that data upon request, and then be able to delete all cases of such data upon request.

Turns out that's actually a mountain of work. It will probably force us to significantly improve workflows and combine data repositories moving forward but it's a large burden up front. Likely many hundreds, if not thousands, of hours for our fairly small enterprise.
An audit without certification will never give you anything that you could not have come up with yourself. So feel free to buy a GDPR audit but realize that you are just buying an opinion.

I believe it's a technique for filtering out everyone but "serious" customers, because whoever buys one and tries to make it work is inevitably going to ask questions about it.
My first reaction is that the test is wrong, if it's comparing a bit that the processor changes whenever it wants. Isn't this telling you don't do that? I'm wondering if this is a case of a leaky abstraction or just fighting the abstraction instead of going with the flow.

Conceptually, the quiet bit is not part of the value. However, I may be missing something obvious about why the writer was trying to control its value.

According to Catholic teaching, any validly baptised person is a Christian, regardless of their beliefs. Baptism is an indelible mark on the soul, like a spiritual membership card that you cannot destroy. Once you join, you can never really leave. Even if you convert to Islam, or become an atheist, you remain (in some spiritual sense) a Christian as long as you live. This is very different from the Protestant understanding of what it means "to be a Christian", which is based on a person's belief and (more importantly) the inner attitude of their heart.

Keep in mind a large part of what a cellular carrier needs to do is know which cell you're in so it can route traffic to your device. While they don't necessarily get device gps access, they literally cannot do what you're paying them for if they cannot locate you down to the nearest cellular base station. (And in most areas, they'll have you connected to enough base stations that they can at least roughly triangular you using signal strength to estimate distance from multiple cells. I don't know if 3G/4G/LTE allows base stations to calculate TOF roundtrip times to get even better distance accuracy like Wi-Fi does, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's not at least something in the spec that can be abused to allow that...)

I find this the most credible source in the thread.
In the United States and under English common law, those giving away something for free are only liable for 'gross' negligence, which is a significantly lower bar than the implied warranties of merchantibility that will arise if you start charging. All these warranties can simply be disclaimed, by licensing the software correctly.

> I'm not sure why people think software meant for use by a broad audience, however cheap, should not be subject to basic safety, security and privacy regulations.

There is a major difference between cheap and free. There is an especially major difference between cheap and open-source, because most open-source licenses include specific text to disclaim any implied warranty. Without contractual consideration, the author's words don't form any kind of contract with those who choose to use his software.

This is not a difficult concept to grasp. If the author made any money off his project, then yes, a very strong warranty is implied, but without that, the warranty is rather weak. Under common law, those giving things away for free can only be held liable for 'gross negligence', which is different from the automatic warranties that arise when you sell things, regardless of price.

The costs of compliance are not a fundamental property of doing international business (after all, governments can change the cost of compliance or make it cost nothing). The fundamental properties I was referring to are that you are transacting with another nation state's people, and you have no fundamental right to do business with them unless that other nation grants you permission. Just because it is easier to do such business without permission or oversight doesn't change that you are doing the same type of business.

You might not think the costs are fair (and in practice that should be taken into account by regulators, to avoid removing all international trade and thus losing the benefits), but that is not really justification for arguing that this is a departure from how things have always been. Nor is it justification for arguing that you shouldn't care about the laws of other countries you do business with because you don't live there (which is what GGGGP was insinuating).

That’s interesting because many people use Google as a locator - they don’t type in Facebook.com, they type Facebook into the omnibar and click on the first link that comes up in Google. So it does show declining intent to visit Facebook. I imagine that the URL autocomplete feature in major browsers has also played a role in the decline you’ve shown here though.

I have seen the clinical results for one drug of the same class for migraines and efficacy wise its not spectacular. we are talking about reducing the frequency of severe migraines episodes but not making them go away entirely.

> use OpenStreetMap because clearly Google maps doesn't work for them (cost presumably).

I worked on the map feature while at Craigslist about 6 years ago. Launching this on their own servers at the time (vs using Gmaps, which was the obvious choice) was a serious and important technical feat.

The decision to use OSM (as far as I remember) had to do with supporting open source (The company made a donation to OSM right after launching), keep user data within its servers and (as a distant third reason), keep the style more homogeneous with their layout.
Was that random phones, or phones you knew were actively in use?

I'd imagine a cellular network has some "exception handling" for devices that are not switched on or in range of any of it's base stations. And I hypothesise that whatever mechanism this is using might not crank up whatever "scan the whole network" behaviour that might occur if a not-currently-geolocated phone gets an incoming call/message? 1/10 seems too high to account for that though...

I honestly doubt is, or did you forget about Equifax? Someone did have millions of records for everyone's credit history including birthdays and past addresses.

I don't think you actually answered his point. Sure you could build an IM client that is GDPR compliant, but at what point do the costs become so high that everyone just defaults to using Facebook because (1) they can afford to be compliant and (2) they are trained well enough to not fuck up their encryption.

In other words, are we moving towards a world where unless you are VC backed (Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp, etc) don't bother building an IM client? Also note, I don't think there might be anything wrong with that - if we expect all our communications to be E2E encrypted, maybe Joe Shmoe shouldn't be writing an IM client.
Not sure if you've ever had migraines, but I have. Luckily I don't get them often but I know those that do (once every couple weeks, lasting for 2-3 days). Reducing the frequency is a godsend.
Facebook is not the only place on the Internet that seems to be "poisoned by politics". A few of my hangouts that survived a few presidential elections are now just total wastelands with everyone who was intelligent or not a troll driven off.
You do misunderstand it.

Are you compliant with the copyright laws in your company? Are you sure you have licenses for all the software you use? Have you audited the software you write to ensure that none of the programmers have included code without an appropriate license? How about patents? Are you sure that the software you write does not infringe on patents somewhere? There are people who will happily audit your company in exchange for a truckload of money... For some reason, most people don't think this is necessary.

Your risk in GDPR is similar to your risk in IP law. If you don't comply with the law and someone calls you on it, you might have legal proceedings against you. In most cases it's pretty obvious if you are compliant with the law (Well, to be fair, it's completely unobvious if you are going to get randomly sued for patent infringement, but I digress...) If you are have a very complex situation, then maybe it is worth some legal advice, but it's pretty freaking obvious if you need the data you have collected in order to fulfil the contract or not.

There's also a reason ipsec is in the ipv6 spec; and a reason Google (reportedly) turned on encryption/vpn of their dark fiber links after the Snowden relevations: there is no such thing as a "secure" cable, or "physically private" network.

You either encrypt your traffic, or you're vulnerable.

That doesn't mean a vpn is sufficient for security, just means it's a prerequisite.

People are pushing towards securing transport at the protocol layer - but it leaves issues like unencrypted dns, icmp etc.

> Thank you, just to be clear: there is no obstacle to a Protestant sponsoring a child's baptism in the Catholic Church as parent or godparent?

Strictly speaking, there is a distinction between "sponsor" and "witness". The sponsor must be a Catholic, the witnesses can be non-Catholic Christians. However, in my personal experience (having had one child baptised Catholic, and the other will be baptised soon), everyone just collectively treats the "sponsor" and "witnesses" as "godparents". The parish just tells people "one godparent must be a Catholic". The sponsor is just the first godparent listed on the baptism certificate.

As far as parents go, technically there is no requirement that either parent be Catholic, or even Christian. A Buddhist couple could ask for their child to be baptised as Catholic. Now, in practice, priests will be extremely hesitant about fulfilling such a request, but strictly speaking it is allowed.
