Related to this, there is a difference in culture that may had add to the fear for people running SMEs outside of Europe. I am talking about a difference in the culture of fines, at least at the local level of government based on my personal experience. When I lived in Canada (and the US briefly) it was common for me to get fined for various trivial offences. I used to joke I should have a fine budget, or at least fine schedule for attending court. The local authorities set speed traps, fine for crossing the road at the wrong place, not shoveling snow quickly etc. My parents in-law and everyone on their whole street got fined for parking their cars on the street by a by-law officer instead of their driveways when the houses were new builds still getting constructed and new drive ways were clearly in the process of being constructed and could not be entered. There was someone in the news who got arrested for not mowing their lawn. I'm not making this up, just do a search, in fact it seems dozens of people have been sent to jail for not paying fines for not keeping up with landscaping in the US. Now since being back in the UK for six years I've not received a single fine, had any interaction with the police or courts. There is a big difference in how fines are applied in Europe and I agree with your comment that I do trust the EU more in this regard, based on the way they operate historically.
It would almost be as big a scandal as someone sharing internal slides showing secret programs to illegally and unconstitutionally spy on every person with a cellphone in their own country.

Or perhaps a video of a high ranking intelligence official lying to congress under oath, whilst answering questions received in advance, and then never being prosecuted for perjury to cover up such illegal activity.

So, not a big scandal at all. Page 2 news.

The GDPR requires affirmative consent for each specific use of your data. If the company had previously asked you "Please tick this box if you would like to receive marketing messages from us in the future", they don't need to ask for your consent again but they do need to offer an opt-out. If the opt-in was pre-ticked, vaguely worded or mandatory to submit the form, then that consent is no longer valid and they'll need to ask you to opt-in. If you didn't specifically opt-in but were getting marketing messages because you had done business with them, they need an opt-in to keep sending those messages.
That is absurd and wrong. The law says the fine needs to be proportionate:

GDPR 83.1: Each supervisory authority shall ensure that the imposition of administrative fines pursuant to this Article in respect of infringements of this Regulation referred to in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 shall in each individual case be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

It should be noted that Brahe's model was not the classical Ptolemaic geocentric / epicyclic model: "It is conceptually a geocentric model: the Earth is at the center of the universe, the Sun and Moon and the stars revolve around the Earth, and the other five planets revolve around the Sun." [1]

The Popperian model of science suggests that it steps from one empirically-sound but falsifiable position to another, but that is the view with hindsight - what happens at the leading edge is much more fluid, and having the right sort of instincts about where the evidence is leading is not just a matter of luck. Heliocentricity was generally accepted well before stellar parallax was observed.

It appears to me that MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) seems to be going the way of Brahe's model - it fitted the initial data, but does not seem to work consistently for the general case.

I think much of this probably comes down to cultural and ideological differences between the US and the EU. It certainly seems that almost all of the rabidly pro-GDPR crowd is from the EU.

Interesting: I have a number of anti-GDPR comments here and on last night’s GDPR thread that got upvotes last night US-time, heavily downvoted throughout the night, and are now going back up :)

I don't think it's the right drug, but I think there's merit to that drug target.

I was prescribed a very expensive synthetic CB1 agonist for migraine nausea (nabilone) by my primary care MD, and the effect was instantaneous and miraculous. Killed the nausea outright, took a solid 80% off of the pain (it was doing the morphine-type "I can feel it but it doesn't hurt" thing), and there was no euphoria/high or noticeable drug craving or reinforcement that I could detect.

The bad news: it's $50 per milligram (almost $1500 for 10 days worth), Schedule 2 (the same schedule as fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine), and technically approved by the FDA only for nausea caused by chemotherapy. The first FDA approval date for the drug was 1985.

I'd previously tried so many prescribed anti-migraine drugs I couldn't even list them all here in the time I have. The side effects were as debilitating as the migraines themselves in some cases. Some were just wildly inappropriate (e.g. a resident wanted to write opiates). Anyway, I fought with an insurance company for seven days on a $20k/year policy and they still wouldn't cover it.

Given the experience of trying to do this the right way, I'm utterly unsurprised that people in intense pain end up trying to DIY it.
Yes and there's nothing saying I won't be arrested and thrown into a cell for the rest of my life if I say something incorrect by mistake when entering the US.

That simply isn't true. That would probably be considered lying to a federal agent. There are strict federal sentencing guidelines that spell out exactly what the sentence should be based on several factors . This is how civilized laws work - you don't simply say "max is $20 million, good luck everybody!"
I would argue that this one was more sophisticated:

What I am seeing lately with malware is increasing decline in sophistication, today malware is lame compared to the malware created around 2000. I would think that level of low level knowledge is rapidly dropping. When there were still real file infectors, there were some serious nasty technologies involved (btw, todays ransomware is a very old concept (http://virus.wikidot.com/onehalf) but it was used to prevent virus removal instead of making money).
Both from Taiwan I see. So if the parties involved have some pull with their government it could be that. They also could of: bought them, cracked them or as you said stolen them.
No. That is just plainly wrong. GDPR allows for tracking without opt in. It just needs to enable you to opt out of being tracked with for example a link to opt out in the privacy policy page. Something I still plan to make more visible (in the footer or something like that), but is already there [0].

These so called cookie layers are not necessary for tracking. They are not even necessary for first party on site advertising. For that you also do not need consent if you read the GDPR/DSGVO (German version).

In the DSGVO it is §6.1f [1] you would want to read about. There is even an elaborate explanation from the German legistlation [2] what "Berechtiges Interesse" (
legitimate interest) exactly means.

So to make this short: direct marketing as well as tracking is totally fine even without consent. Give an option to opt out, explain why you need the data, what you do with it and how long you store it as well as a point of contact (for people wishing for their data to be deleted) and you are fine.

As long as you do not do profiling or stuff like that. A personal blog/website is then totally fine with GDPR. Btw. you would need to add all of this to your privacy page even if you had no web tracking installed, as your webserver probably would have logging activated. Having an IP address in there make this data fall under the GDPR (at least in Germany). So you would need to explain all that stuff because of the log files non the less.

You are essentially restating my question: what _are_ the possibilities with proxies? (What can you do with proxies that is much more messy/difficult/verbose to do otherwise?)
You obviously do not work in marketing.
GDPR is referring to the EU recommendation Article
2 of the Annex to Commission Recommendation 2003/
361/EC. That's where the number 250 originates from.

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2...

>Staff headcount and financial ceilings determining enterprise categories

> 1. The category of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is made up of enterprises which employ fewer than 250 persons and which have an annual turnover not exceeding EUR 50 million, and/or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding EUR 43 million.
Salesforce use this in their Lightning Framework. I've not gone beyond the surface of that framework, but I've found its use of proxies adds friction to development. Trying to debug in the browser, anything other than a primitive results in a looking at an empty Proxy object - I believe this is a deliberate choice behind the framework in the name of security. But it makes it much harder to discover what's in an object - if you don't know the name of a property, good luck getting it.

Note that this is either due to how the framework uses Proxy, rather than Proxy itself, or I'm doing it wrong and should do more reading up on it. It really could be the latter - given my level of experience and knowledge, I thought hard about posting this comment!
Indeed, just look at the tragedy that is the EPO.

My chief concern is that this will end up being an instrument wielded by big business (through political connections) at the expense of smaller companies, especially smaller overseas competitors but also domestically. If EU-US relations continue to sour, it could also become a weapon in a hypothetical trade war, which I guess is probably one of the "benefits" from an EU government perspective.

Codifying privacy protection is important, but GDPR favors big companies and governments too strongly over already risk-burdened entrepreneurs.
I would keep a log of all the food eaten during the day, and maybe take photos of ingredients lists.

Then afterwards you can find an ingredient you might think is the culprit.

The ingredient may also take a few days to affect you, so you have to allow for that.
Thanks for posting. Great article. A word of caution about Kepler's discovery of elliptical orbits. We usually encounter this topic in physics textbooks who illustrate the ellipticity of planetary orbits with highly eccentric ellipses of probably 0.7 or more ecentricity. But, as an example, the eccentricity of Venus' orbit is 0.0068! So if you draw such an ellipse on letter size (or A4) paper you cannot tell it apart from a circle.
This is actually a great boilerplate for a response. Somebody should create a product that collects this information inside your company and formats it for sending it to any and every GDPR requester. End of story.
While I do understand your hate, and while I personally hate the problem of using video instead of text, I gotta say that this specific example you've mentioned can be blamed to the limitations of the platform (Twitter).

Their alternatives were:

1. Interrupt people's flow by getting them off of Twitter.
2. Try fitting them all in one tweet (impossible).
3. Try fitting them in multiple tweets, which would make the users retweet a specific tweet that contains whichever player they're interested in, and their followers wouldn't see the entire roster.

I can see the appeal of transmitting the info in a 2 minute video since it gives users one tweet they should retweet, and transfers the important message in a relatively short amount of time (albeit much longer than skimming through a block of text).
Proportionate is in the eye of the beholder. As I stated in another response, an example might be that a low-level offense receives a fine of only 10% of the maximum - just $2 million. And apparently I don't need to worry, because I can just spend six figures hiring an attorney in a country I've never been to, who possibly speaks a language I don't, who will fight the case for me if the fine is out of line.

Sounds very workable.

Every time someone brings up "wants to wipe out xyz", I wonder how that would play out. North Korea wants to nuke the US and SK, Iran wants to nuke Israel, Pakistan wants to nuke India, etc.
But playing the scenario in your head leaves to a simple conclusion: If either NK or Iran would deploy nukes, it would be their end. It is likely that the US will remain the only nation on this planet who dropped nukes on civilians.
'Doing business' requires two steps:

1. Invitation to treat: that is offering services for consumption

2. Offer to contract: fulfilling the invitation by making a contract of terms

If you drop a potential customer at step 1, e.g. having your web-server decline the connection based on GeoIP, would that not constitute reasonable effort? We don't have case law regarding GDPR yet but I would certainly argue that it shows efforts being taken to exclude EU residents.
Does anybody know if it's required to remove CDN links (such for Google fonts, cdnjs, etc.) and host all assets locally instead unless consent is given? Assets from CDNs are required for a site to function; what's not required is to send `Referer:` so maybe it's sufficient to set a referrer-policy.

There's a lot of American libertarians that believe government is intrinsically bad, for some reason. And also a monolith; they don't see any difference between bits of government, different branches, different types of enforcement, and so on. They're very loath to admit that it takes a certain minimum amount of structure to keep the roads open and the lights on.

This lawsuit doesn't seem to stem from the GDPR, despite the article (mistakenly[1]) mentioning it. I don't even know if the regulatory bodies are enforcing the GDPR yet, much less in February this year, or even worse, 2015.

And BOSH, via Cloud Foundry Container Runtime[0].

BOSH is also used to deploy Cloud Foundry and a bunch of data services (RabbitMQ, Redis etc). It has the advantage of having been under continuous development for 7 years, with backends (CPIs) for most IaaSes being provided by the IaaSes themselves.

I work for Pivotal, we sponsor most of the work done on BOSH. As it happens, SAP released an experimental BOSH CPI for Kubernetes[1] and there is work underway to make that experience smoother[2].

> A multimillion-dollar fine without warning for a first, minor violation is perfectly lawful under GDPR

Come on, this is just scaremongering. Newsflash: If you run a business, you are already responsible for adhering to hundreds of other laws in which the fines could reach millions. But you don't see people running around screaming that the world is ending, because they know that the laws will generally be applied fairly, given that a large economy (like that of the EU) relies on just application of laws to maintain stability.

Running a business, like anything else in life, requires the ability to make reasoned choices from somewhat ambiguous data. And the data here is somewhat ambiguous for good reason - it's to prevent businesses from exploiting loopholes and rendering the law ineffective. If you are going to crank the anxiety to 10 every time a situation like this occurs, you probably shouldn't be running a business or handling others' data in the first place.
Short version: Some things would be easier, others harder.

That's an absurd rationalization, and I don't believe it.

First, it's an absurd rationalization because all the finding agencies need to do is say "starting Jan 2019, all research papers funded by this fund must be open access; each violation results in $1k reduction in the grant", and any journals that don't yet have the option would provide a ~$1k open access publishing option.

Second, I don't believe the rationalization is what's really going on. I think there just aren't any/enough people at the funding agencies that care.
Are there any recent ones found by others?

From the article:

> Let's not criticize Cisco

> The company discovered these flaws following as part of its massive series of internal audits it started back in December 2015.

> At the time, security researchers found a backdoor account in Juniper software that could decrypt VPN traffic, and Cisco decided to hunt and root out any similar backdoors before attackers found them first.

> The company discovered many backdoors and hardcoded accounts in the past two years as part of internal audits and has received some pretty unfair criticism for its efforts.

> The most recent backdoors Cisco discovered was in March, when the company's engineers discovered two —one in Cisco's Prime Collaboration Provisioning (PCP) platform, and one in the IOS XE operating system.
> GDPR only applies to EU residents, yes, but not if they're on ex. holiday outside of EU.

While this is an interesting way to interpret it, it's likely that the law may be clarified in the future to state that if at the time of collecting their data the user is in the EU, the protections shall apply to said data regardless of where the user is now.

This is it. Thank you, I commented about my local experiences with government in Europe and US/Canada but did not know the correct terms and you're right, I think this is the big difference and a driver of fear outside of the EU. In Canada I found the police, by-law enforcers, and almost any official are essentially rules based robots, very much different to my experience in the UK. Thank you for teaching me about rules-based and principles-based regulation. This is one of the big reasons I enjoy living in Europe tbh, a bit of discretion and old 'common sense' is actually quite an awesome thing.
The issue is that for many applications anything less than ~98% is not acceptable (eCommerce for instance). This is 87% (to save people a click).

And because this works on fundamental operators, a polypill is impossible.

However, if you are using Babel to transpile your JS or using Node.js this seems like it could be very useful.
Smaller platforms (which Linux and Mac OS are, compared to Windows) draw less interest (both in exploits and scrutiny against exploits), and fragmented platforms (Linux) are harder to code for (SystemV? systemd? something else entirely?). I guess that it would have required more effort - but at this level of involvement, I would say that the result would have been achieved regardless.

Your notquick [0], "a nice workflow for emails that works for me", is similar to a topic I've thought about a lot and which was one of the reasons to start RQBG. (I'd like to tie my mail more to my projects and tasks via content addressable storage and RDF). Coding in Rust is fantastic, but the GUI options are not there yet. Hence RQBG which is meant to stay small (<3k lines atm).

Your project uses it in the right way: just commit the generated files. It's a drag and error-prone to write so much binding code by hand.

> some additional work where properties can be writeable references to Rust objects

You can nest objects. The demo code does this. Here's an example where both Parent and Child are a QObject:

"objects": {
"Child": {
"type": "Object",
"properties": [
"name": {
"type": "QString"
}
]
},
"Parent": {
"type": "Object",
"properties": [
"child": {
"type": "Child"
}
]
}
}

> some additional work [...] where I hope to make QML objects (list items) possible to create from Rust

You'd like to use object types as itemProperties as well? That's not possible at the moment, but a logical extension.

Experimenting in your own branch is a good way to start. Wishes and designs for them can be discussed in the issue tracker: https://bugs.kde.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=rust-qt-...

Currently, generated model code derives from QObject (Object) or QAbstractItemModel (List and Tree). Deriving from QWidget or QQuickItem would make it possible to write GUI components in Rust as well. Those classes are large though and I've not yet had the urge/need to try that.
