That might be true, or you might feel that your request is entirely general in nature -- you are generally concerned about how your data is used, collected, or sold by a given company, even though, at this moment, you have no specific complaint. Maybe you heard about how a similar company in the same industry did something bad, and you just want to be cautious and check.

Yes, you might modify the tone of the template for the context of that situation. But you might still use a template because you believe it gives you the best way to be sure that the request uses adequate language to constitute a properly formatted and comprehensive request (short of taking your draft request to your personal attorney and paying them for advice).

Your point is not wrong, but there still might be cases when someone satisfies both

(a) not basing their GDPR inquiry on a specific incident or mistreatment that they know of, only on general skepticism or due diligence to get a comprehensive understanding of how the data is used.

(b) still wants to use a template to have reasonable confidence it is a well-formed and comprehensive request without needing to pay an attorney to draft it or advise them on their own draft.

Yeah I reached the point where I decided it wasn't worth it. Towards the end of my degree, I was just playing far less because of bigger workload and the times I played were mostly on my phone while waiting on my own for something. I continue to have less free time now that my degree is finished, and now I kill time with free phone games. Maybe one day I'll get back into it, if I haven't fallen too far behind.

Has it? It says right on the page you're linking to that it's disabled by default, so you would have to explicitly opt in. Thus nobody complaining, as those who don't want it won't enable it.

I think it comes from Debian[1] actually, where it's also opt-in – my Debian machine doesn't have it installed. Like it says in the Debian package description: "Vote for your favourite packages automatically". It's voting, not spying – strictly voluntary. Those of us who don't want to vote don't have to.

If you are doing it for personal growth and learning, then Perl 6. It is an interesting language that cleanly supports many major programming paradigms including functional, imperative and object oriented and, most probably, others. Additionally, it has many nifty features built in such as concurrency, grammars and rationals. Aside from that, it is also fun to use and has a great community.

If you are doing it for immediate application in a job or wish to acquire a skill you think might be required in a job then the answer is probably Perl 5. Despite the noise about Perl, it is still used a lot in many industries for flow control and inter-tool format conversion as well as many other applications. Many, many people understand perl and use it for rapid development of automation tools. I can tell you for a fact that it is pervasive in the semiconductor industry and is practically a job requirement, there.

There's a simple confounding reason for this. The earlier authors are in the author list, the more likely they are to be actively contributing. If there's a sparse contributor who doesn't respond, who has many papers already, or who is not actively involved in the final read-throughs, they will likely be somewhere in the middle of the author list and may miss that their middle initial is not correct. In contrast, if you are a first author, you will make damned sure your exact precise name is there, as your impact factor and future success hinges on the total number of papers you have.

I agree with this post. Rationalizing based only on data can lead to flawed conclusions and bias. Obviously, quantification is useful in many domains, but when it comes to your health then the worst thing you can do is ignore your intuition on the basis of data.

I also don’t keep any metrics of my website, not even page hits. It’s a hard sell to other webmasters, but I personally don’t want to start writing for the wrong reasons. I think quantification is responsible for a lot of evils in our world today — and a lot of good too. I’m focusing a lot on where quantification can be applied for the benefit of one’s spirit, rather than one’s greed.

Coming to the US as a European, I was shocked by your medical ads. We just don't (did not) have this in the UK.

Some well produced advert, showing happy people leaving full lives "ask your dr about this now", side effects may include <lighting fast and scary long list of nasty side effects.

Combined with a private health care, which I think makes people want to appear to be getting their money's worth. I see this with my wife and her family (from another country). They are visible happier when come back from the Drs with a big bag of drugs. The wife things UK Drs are no good as most of the time when she went she was told, rest, lots of fluid and take a paracetamol (tylenol?)

You're counting on an automated response mollifying users and being seen as reasonable by each of the EU's twenty-eight regulators. Perhaps that is true.

If so, a reasonable regulatory regime was produced. If it is not, or it is for a while and then one country decides to go ape shit, this was a bad law. Until we have more data there is regulatory uncertainty. Within that uncertainty is risk. That risk is unreasonable for non- or low-revenue generating projects.

Moreover, there is more precedent for such regulatory regimes becoming more, not less, onerous over time. That leads to incumbency bias, since Facebook and Google no doubt already have lobbyists for each of the national data regulators.

“When will I ever need Pythagoras?” – an honest response
Yes they are. Next time you're in a public place, look at all the people surfing on their phone.

They're going after the immediate dopamine hit that you get from little tiny updates of new information. [1] So, yes, many (most?) people actually do need it, or they will suffer withdrawal symptoms from the lack of dopamine.

If you're a news channel without frequent updates, then you get lost in the dust, apparently. Interestingly (from my perspective at least), it seems that the info doesn't even have to be correct, but just what I call "gap-filler" (think of all the talking heads who speculate on things endlessly before the facts start to come in), and you can still make money - you just have to have information (no matter how irrelevant it is).

To me it surely looks like a lost cause unless we can start to wake up out of this trance. Where's Wesley Crusher when we need him? [2]

I think the ridiculous thing is every mom and pop site and blog and website needs to be gdpr compliant? insane. If the true intent was to make sure large players have their system in check then they should have simply said if you have 50,000 or more users giving you data a month or something to protect anyone interested in software from being afraid of having 2 users because now they need to read every international law. I know someone will fire back at this but what stop the United States from coming up with some law as well on the internet against how logins should be and then filing a lawsuit against every other country company that doesn’t comply. A business should follow the laws of based on the owners location and if other countries don’t like it then that’s for allies to group up and ask that minority country for change. gdpr to me is of reaching on the internet in a scary way.

I can attest to this. Credential stuffing was the number 1 reason we decided to add the pwnedpassword validation to our signup flows. We were seeing thousands of IP addresses and hundreds of thousands of requests over a few days. Rate limiting slows it down but doesn’t help all that much. Rate limiting on a specific username will prevent brute forcing but exposes you to DOS. Rate limiting by IP becomes less effective when thousands are involved and most requests end up succeeding.

> What’s to stop someone from creating a new coin and entirely new supply of currency?

Nothing. Just like nothing stops anyone from printing out their own paper money. However, nobody will accept it, since the trust in your new paper money is next to nil, as no shop or services will accept it as a form of payment (perhaps except yourself).

Replacing paper money with a new cryptocoin of your own makes no changes to the above argument.

However, if you are able to produce goods or services which is needed by somebody, then you can price your goods/services in your own paper money, and setup an exchange rate yourself. If other people sees the exchange rate, and deem it worthy, they will exchange their existing currency with yours, in order to purchase your goods/services. This process is the one that gives any currency any real value.

A half-hour is not quite enough. :) I did the tutorial a couple times and found a reference card somewhere which I kept next to my computer for awhile.

>Oh no, a thousand times no. Individual trucks hauling goods around the world is awful to the environment (and to the roads)

In shorter-term economics, the roads are a MUCH bigger factor. Tractor-trailer trucks do an enormous amount of damage to the roads, due to physics (I believe the factor is related to weight to the 4th power). Basically, if we didn't have trucks like those, we wouldn't be spending even a fraction as much on road upkeep. Road maintenance costs governments a LOT of money, so it only makes perfect sense to have commercial trucking and diesel fuel taxes to pay for it.

Really, what they should be doing is making it easier for stuff to be shipped by train, and then only trucked the last few miles.
Your Firefox account can now be secured with 2FA
I am dealing with these problems every day, in my workplace, CCLab, in Hungary.

It is really a hard question, because it depends on several variables.
I would say that the most important is the information gathering, if you would like to find a vulnerability in a system.
There are several cases when you know that a vulnerability is present just by checking the version numbers.
If you would like to find vulnerabilities in bigger systems, you should always search for older unmanaged functions that might be present. This is how a security researcher managed to find a critical vulnerability in a Google service that was used by probably nobody.
If I am given the task to search for vulnerabilities in a standalone system, I always search for the functions that are not crucial for the system to work, because they tend to be less tested.
If you have the possibility to upload files, then you could find a vulnerability with almost 100 percent certainty. So I would recommend you to spend a significant amount of time testing it.
An other good indicator for potential vulnerabilities is when the user input is reflected in any manner. If you have access to the list of the used components, always check, if they have any known vulnerabilities this could be a really handful input, if the vulnerable features of that component are used by the system.
If you can turn on options that make the system act in a different way, then you should always test them, because most of the automated scanners are going to miss those vulnerabilities that are only present in certain cases.
Yeah, totally agree that there are plenty of things that don't make sense in English. The grammar is easy, but the sure number of irregular froms has got to be really difficult to deal with. At least the rules for plurals in some of the more complex examples are reegular.

.NYC requires that the owner have a physical presence in New York City. In addition to the standard whois owner/tech/billing/etc contact sections, .NYC requires a "Nexus" contact -- basically, a NYC-based address of either a person or business affiliated with the domain.

See http://www.ownit.nyc/faq, under "WILL PROXY REGISTRATIONS, SOMETIMES CALLED “DOMAIN PRIVACY” BE ALLOWED ON MY .NYC DOMAIN NAME?"

Basically, it's the registrar's policy to prohibit obfuscating the actual domain owner. Resellers like Namecheap have to abide by these policies.

I can't speak for EU domains, or for the reasoning behind the .NYC policy.
