There is so much misconception about GDPR. It is cleary directed at large data-tracking corps, not single person IM apps. Even if someone tries to "sue" you (which he can't, only report you to authorities), it first needs to go through many iterations where you can make your case.

At the very least read this: https://privacylawblog.fieldfisher.com/2016/what-you-think-y...

Do you know of any studies that look for opportunities in declining populations? There seems to be a tendency for people to label declining populations as 'bad' and proceed from there as opposed to asking 'what are the benefits as well as the harms of this trend?'
I’m not sure... I get your point and understand how you feel. But having seen it a few times, and the effect it has on the wife and child, I can’t be friends with people who act like this anymore.

I just feel like I’m normalizing their actions by acting like it’s no big deal. I think one of the reasons that this kind of attitude amongst fathers continues, is because it’s seen as somewhat normal and socially acceptable.

Not really true, especially for southern Sicilians Italians

They shared neither language nor religion (US was overwhelmingly protestant). At the time, they were considered a distinct race from your typical white American due to their Sicilian heritage. Their diet was also significantly different, to the point where some states actually sent out social workers teaching Italian families to cook "American" foods -- the fear being their pasta-heavy diets would prevent them from integrating. Politically, they were far more pro-labor and were viewed as agitators, socialists and anarchists -- far removed from the political mainstream during the roaring 20s. They were hated and feared enough that there was a mass lynching of 11 Italian-Americans in Louisiana.

On the other hand, I figure that yes, a cat (which I'll never have - allergies) is safe indoors, but if they're happier outdoors... well, maybe nature will happen, but should I really imprison the cat to save it? Not as far as I'm concerned. The cat can go enjoy itself.

The point being, it's not that the cat is a problem. It's that some of us think nature should remain natural, not be pressed into service keeping us company.
I'm using Mullvad. On the plus side, their servers are the most reliable I have seen, and they provide IPv6 addresses (behind NAT, which is reasonable for privacy). On the minus side, since November 2017 they intercept DNS queries and answer them themselves (hence you can not use DNS service of your choice), unless you connect to a specific undocumented OpenVPN port (1400 or 1401) available on a small but diverse subset of their servers.
Do you know anything else about teeth? I have 2 baby teeth with no adult teeth to replace them, and I was also born without 4 back molars (one on each side, top and bottom). Consequently, now that my wisdom teeth are coming in, I seem to have lots of room and may not need to have them removed.
I'd say it's because of two things: 1) the invention of reliable birth control (namely The Pill), and 2) the rise of women to equal citizenship status with men, instead of basically being slaves used for breeding.

Women are the ones who have to sacrifice the most for children, so now that they have a choice, they don't do it nearly as much: some have none, others only have 1 or 2 and they've had enough. For replacement rate, every woman needs to have 2.1 kids on average, and not nearly enough women want to have 3+ kids to make up for all the women having fewer (which also includes infertile women don't forget).

And also with men and women being much more equal, men are expected to invest much more effort in child-rearing now, instead of just banging their wives and then letting them deal with the consequences while they do other stuff with their time. Well they don't want to deal with 6 kids either, and many don't want to deal with any.

I don't really get it. So what's the burden for the developer here - he argues that the IP is PII (personally identifiable information), which is true, but I don't think it means you can't log IPs in general anymore?

So is now every standard apache2 installation a non-compliant (illegal?) service, as it logs GETs?

I don't think that's the case.

Does GDPR have any non-monetary enforcement? For a site with no revenue, can they take any action other than a $0 fine?
Well... maybe. You would just register the domain once (maybe `mycoolawesomehome.net`), and then you have the authority to arbitrarily decide that your printer's hostname should be `thebestprinterever.mycoolawesomehome.net`.

But now you can just use `mycoolawesome.home.arpa` without registering it.

I'm convinced this is the start where EU citizens become second class Internet users. Many businesses just don't want to go through the troubles of GDPR regulatory hoops. For most businesses, there's enough customers to sustain their business in the US, Canada, rest of the world that they can ignore all EU customers.

Yes, not having kids means missing out on certain (important) human life experiences. But so is if you DO have kids, it automatically means you will miss out on things that can't be done now because you don't have the money/time/etc that goes into having those kids. And in terms of "when you're gone away" I'm not seeing how having kids changes that, you still die and stop existing afterward, it's your kids that keep on living. You may feel good/proud about having them live after you die, just as an artist may feel good about their work living for many years in the minds of people. Personally I've decided to focus on one thing "make sure I don't regret too many things when I'm n my death bed". That means planning and doing things that I think I would regret not having done otherwise but of course, there will always be some regrets, simply because we always tend to regret/miss the things we haven't done if by no other reason.

We may prefer having kids over other things or vice versa but I disagree with a general state of the form "not having kids is a clear loss", there are pros and cons.
You do not necessarily need to hire a DPO.

Read the law or, at least, read the official FAQ. Your evaluation of the impact of the law on your project is lazy.
Sure, there are people who do that, and there are people who do all their web browsing in Tor. Such people are important and there should be tools (like Tor Browser) built for them, but they're also very much not the target audience of the default case. Chrome is a mass-market browser, not a browser built for people with specific uncommon security needs.

I would posit that the people coming here illegally to work are actually the most entrepreneurial, hard working, can-do people that we should welcome into our society. Judging based on what current socio-economic status they're at is short sighted. You'll see the same thing expressed in HN regarding employees at declining companies, the most desirable employees leave earlier...

Though I would add that doing it via a more realistic temporary work visa program would be preferable to encouraging an illegal crossing industry to flourish.
That makes a valid point: You should open a bug with Apache to remove IP address and User-Agent from the default log formats, as they should not be logged by default or else GDPR issues arise.

I'm not so sure about the idea that education is important for its own sake, the way you framed it -- that somehow if we make everyone go to more schooling we'll have a better citizenry. They may learn the wrong things, they may learn nothing, they may learn useless things. What's relevant is comparing the 4 years they spend not earning experience and money to what they could have been doing, and what they would have been learning there, and how they would have been improving themselves in that case. Are you saying that the median student is a better citizen if he spends 4 years doing mediocre work at a mediocre school vs. 4 years learning a trade? That we'll all be "better off" if the plumbers learn literary criticism before they learn plumbing?
Only if you're smart. Only about half of college students graduate and an even smaller percentage graduate on time.

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

A DPO is most certainly not required by all organisations[0], and I would be suprised if it applied to this project. I know lots of blogs are saying it is, but it is simply untrue. I'm not saying that this totally relieves the burden however.

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

>1. The controller and the processor shall designate a data protection officer in any case where: (a) the processing is carried out by a public authority or body, except for courts acting in their judicial capacity; (b) the core activities of the controller or the processor consist of processing operations which, by virtue of their nature, their scope and/or their purposes, require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale; or (c) the core activities of the controller or the processor consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of data pursuant to Article 9 and personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences referred to in Article 10.

I thought this guy was a single person who put something on Github. How is he required to appoint a DPO? What kind of large-scale processing of personal information is he doing?
I'm both surprised that people react so strongly and... mostly ok with it. Majority of GDPR is pretty reasonable - know what data you have and make sure your users know it as well. Allow removing it, make sure you don't share with parties who don't need it. For normal services it doesn't appear to be a tough retirement.

You certainly don't need to hire extra people like author suggests and federation should be just fine. (it's essential to what the service does)
Two questions come to mind:

1. Isn't this person allowed to be the Data Protection Officer themselves?
2. Is APNS inherently not compliant or if there something unique about this use-case?

What's kind of great about this new regulation is that we get a clear view on businesses that can't adequately protect user's privacy. It's painful for businesses such as these, but ultimately it seems that consumers would come ahead of it.

If the weak link in this case may not have been the developer themselves, but external factors but it's still a pretty interesting data point.
Historically, parents were far less productive than we are now. People now just enjoy more material things than historically.
That's probably a good thing, considering the wave of white people calling the police on black people for literally doing nothing but being black. The incidents currently occurring are terrible enough, but I can't imagine how awful it would be if those people felt they didn't need the cops, and carried out the arrests themselves.
Do you know of any good example steady state economies for contrast?

I've had similar dreams as well. They usually only happen when I'm extremely stressed. It's usually my teeth falling out, and oh is the sensation of loose teeth rolling around in my mouth both vivid and horrifying.

One time it was my tongue swelling up til I couldn't contain it in my mouth anymore, and another I was chewing bubblegum, but no matter how much gum I spit out, the gum kept growing until I was choking on it.

I also had a dream where my teeth fell out, I woke up, was relieved it was only a dream, and got up to go the bathroom. Everything was normal and exactly as it should have been. Even the bathroom light switch worked, which is usually one of those things people say is a dream-tell. Then my teeth started getting loose again, and I panicked and woke up a second time. I had been just been dreaming that I woke up the first time.
>... I frequent Europe and do not want to get into legal trouble on vacation.

Does the author seriously believe this could happen? Enforcement of GDPR is similar to antitrust law. A regular police officer isn't going to fine you for that.

The author's anxiety makes as much sense as not traveling to the United States because you're worried that your one-person pottery business might be considered a monopoly under the Sherman Act.
This was my experience and yes I went to a crappy school.

It may not be interesting to you. To me, and probably a lot of people, the ability to communicate directly between two hosts each behind a NAT (using UDP hole punching) is a big advantage for a VPN, since, compared to forwarding through a central server, it can be faster and lower latency, and it also means you don’t have to pay for that server.

Edit: As to why it’s relevant to the “WireGuard setting”, that depends on your definition of the WireGuard setting, but: (1) it’s easy to find examples of people trying to use WireGuard for peer-to-peer communication, the use case ZeroTier solves better; and (2) ZeroTier shares WireGuard’s property of being stateless/connectionless, a significant convenience advantage over traditional VPN protocols.
Pretty sure that is exactly the case. GDPR went all out on user privacy that is simply a burden for small businesses to deal with EU citizens, it's financially more sensible to just block the entire EU from their services.
Was the Efail disclosure horribly screwed up?
>There were laws in most states banning blacks from owning guns [1], presumably largely out of fear that they might fight back if armed

Those laws were passed because black Americans in the South did have easy access to guns following the civil war. The guns don't seem to have helped them much.
Regardless of what you log, here is a minimum cost of compliance, from the article:

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

Is there any actual requirement within the GDPR that this needs to be a dedicated person, or does being a DPO just need to be someone's responsibility, e.g. in the case of a one-man open source project the guy who runs the project?
The fact that they get away with it.
> Father works (particularly in a tech context often earns much more than mother). Uses this fact to exercise financial control and states that their “equal contribution” is financial support.

Now that you mention it, I've seen this in some friends and colleagues, working in the tech sector. I always chocked it up to tech workers often being socially atypcial. Didn't realize it was considered normal. Just doesn't match my experience with my parents, or the adults I grew up with (who granted, were mostly vietnamese and phillipino due to where we lived), and I don't see it in my wife's family (irish). My dad always earned more than my mom, but when he came home, he would always be the one to do things with my brother and I and leave my mom to rest. Moreover, my mom was always so thankful that she no longer had to work.
But gold is energy un-intensive once mined. It sits there.

Sure, feel free to "leave", really, no offense. We talked to a lawyer in Germany regarding this (we are a small software company with 5 people). His response was: If you don't do shady shit with customer data, you'll probably don't have to worry. Also, if you are in a "contractual agreement" (e.g. EULA), you can apparently justify most data collection without any change at all.
A version of your comment is posted in response to every suggestion that somebody leave expensive coastal areas. One wonders what the heck you think is going on in the rest of the country.

There are jobs in other cities. The idea that there is "little or no job market" outside of NYC and San Francisco is -- I'm sorry, there's no other way to say it -- absurd. The fact that you forward this claim with such smugness -- "rrrright" -- makes it all the more baffling.

Where are you getting these ideas? Click-bait articles about the Rust Belt?

A few figures on median income. These cities were chosen at random:

- Cincinnati-Middletown Ohio metro area was $60,260

- Indianapolis-Carmel Indiana metro area was $56,750

- Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro-Franklin Tennessee metro area was $60,030

Compare to:

- Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue Washington metro area was $78,612

- San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA Metro Area was $96,677

- New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA Metro Area was $71,897

So, look, San Francisco is an outlier, even by the standards of big, growing cities with lots of jobs. But look at those others. The median income in Cincinnati is about $10k less than in New York City.

Do you think the cost of living in New York City is only about $10k more per year than in Cincinnati? Of course not.

The cost of living differences between the cities in that first group and the cities in the second group far, far, far outpace those earnings differences. So, you're wrong on both counts. The cheaper cities aren't "slightly less expensive;" they are vastly less expensive.
