One way to test this is with data that has sufficient random walks (say for example daily open and close prices over several decades) and use the additive noise method (ANM)[0] to determine if noise from one correlator affects noise in the other (and hence one causes the other).

So the GDPR was vague, and while I would say poorly written, many have claimed that the EU will focus more on the spirit of the law vs the law itself.

Anyone really believe they’ll litigate against companies that block them entirely? That want nothing to do with the EU market as a result of this law?

I seriously doubt it, but this is a great example of the 2 years of legal arguments and debates happening in companies because of GDPR.
That’s just incorrect on the face of it. Linux and Mac have existed for as long as Windows, or longer. It’s pure opinion to say there were no competitors.
> Declining to date someone because they're fat

It's how you wrap it with elegance and allure: just that your preference is to date e.g. petite females. Don't mention fat etc. at all. Or just simply state the person is not your type and walk away. They are pretty aware what they are doing, including taking photos from "slim angle" and trying to sell you "sub-prime CDS as class A-shares", and then just play usual shame game to force you to cater to them. Ignore it; it's like a bad business decision, be strong, enforce what you like and not what they would like you to - you can tell them once they can e.g. run 100m sprint in 13s, then you can date, as sporty ladies make you excited etc. And you even give them a S.M.A.R.T. goal; not that it matters as they will be stuffing themselves with whatever sugar they find, but at least you don't make a political mistake of aligning with the signature of fat shaming.

I don't think nationalism is necessarily hawkish, indicative of survival responses or desperation. I think a little bit of nationalism is a comfort to those participating in it, as indicative of their faith in the wellbeing and character of their compatriots. Especially after a mostly-successful period of global trade marked by a recession, the new nationalism feels a little bit more like the spirit of buying locally, and seeing your neighbors at the market. A person can take pride in their self without feeling a need to do violence to neighbors; why shouldn't nations be the same?

If you're happy in your nation, you want that others in the nation be happy too, as (with tolerance) you abide the same laws and, while economic inequality declines, mostly have access to similar resources. You also want that these others are able to contribute to the economy without coercion into dangerous or objectionable trades, which means more light industry and less tolerance for what the President calls "dumping." That isn't so much a hawkish impulse as the desire to decline a gift which seems too generous, if you will.

Especially after successful global trade and the burgeoning pride in items manufactured locally with global materials, I don't foresee a return to solitary autarchic superpowers. If anything the tendency I'd predict would be more trade in raw materials, and more local labor by those who would once purchase import products, like a kit car economy. 3D printing and stuff are a part of this too.

I can't claim to see the future but that's my opinion on what I'm seeing.

I dunno, we say she "overcame adversity", but that doesn't really make sense unless you at least reference that she became a famous political activist. Otherwise, in what sense did she "overcome" her adversity?

Deafblindness isn't particularly unknown outside her case, and she wasn't the first person to be successfully taught to

Every law is a balancing act. I note your /s, but still think its worthy of a response because many people accept this without sarcasm.

GDPR prefers, in the grand scheme of things, the privacy and anonymity of 400M European to the bottom line of 50-100 companies, most of which aren't based in Europe.

Lack of privacy hurts & benefits ... who, exactly? Mostly the same (except it's more like 1000-5000 companies, but still).

If I understand correctly, this function is basically how the algorithm decides which parts of the image to cut (or stretch). So it seems like it could be interesting to experiment with a range of different functions here.

Assuming the article is correct in its interperatation of the law, it is still missing the point. If you do neot operate out of, or do business in, the EU, then the EU has no claim for jurisdiction.

The only simmilar case I can think of is the Isreali law which prohibits entry into the country by anyone supporting BDS. Notably, in this case they are not even claiming that everyone on the planet is required to not support BDS; because it is obvious that they have no jurisdiction to do so.

EDIT: You also have China and Saudi Arabia who have internet restrictions. However, they also do not claim jurisdiction over foreign sites. They only require compliance by sites that operate within their jurisdiction; and have built the infrastructure to enforce their digital border.
> Anyone really believe they’ll litigate against companies that block them entirely?

All it takes is a single populist data regulator in one of the EU's twenty-eight members,. Will they win? I don't think so. But in the meantime, you'll be dragged through costly regulatory negotiations. Those negotiations would become much more expensive if one had any European users.
The first and fastest thing you can do is report the site using your browser so it can be blocked (Chrome or Firefox is the best since it goes to the same list and Microsoft will also pick it up). After you have done this, report it to US-CERT - https://www.us-cert.gov/report and the FBI - https://www.fbi.gov/tips. For the registrar, did you also report it using their abuse email account and the IP/Datacenter operator abuse address? If those don't work you can also contact ICANN and the actual domain registry who can pull the domain.

You can then talk with a lawyer to file a trademark dispute if you have a registered trademark along with a DMCA complaint if they have copied your information.

The amazing thing is, it appears, that they still manage to get people from the US. A significant portion of my Linkedin spam is coming from EU/UK recruiters who evidently believe they have a chance to poach people from here. I figure they would not have been doing this if there were no takers.
I think that it's a bit more nuanced than that. I think that we end up with bureaucracy because goals are not aligned across silos (divisions, time, etc.) and the systems that are implemented to achieve those goals overlap and create redundancies and inefficiencies.
You can’t force people to operate in your country. The EU does not have sovereignty over the whole world. This is nonsense and is certainly not what is contemplated by the law.

Making it undesirable for some businesses to operate in your country is part of the cost-benefit analysis you have to do when passing laws.

In short: the opinion expressed by that link appears to be plainly wrong as the organization using IP addresses to restrict EU traffic for the sake of GDPR would need the ability to actually identify people from that information, a power arising from access to other information. The vast majority of entities lack that additional, so for them, IP addresses are not 'personal data' under existing case law.

In long: I'm not providing legal advice, only forwarding details (again, non-representative) conversations I've had or been party to with various lawyers on this topic. Notably: the consensus opinion is that determining a potential IP range is specific to the EU is not the same as geolocating them as that location information is not specific enough to determine who the person is, and partly as a result of a lack of this capability and others, IP addresses cannot alone be determined to be personal data.

Related: https://www.whitecase.com/publications/alert/court-confirms-...

> The CJEU decided that a dynamic IP address will be personal data in the hands of a website operator if:

> 1. there is another party (such as an ISP) that can link the dynamic IP address to the identity of an individual; and

> 2. the website operator has a "legal means" of obtaining access to the information held by the ISP in order to identify the individual.

> On the facts, if the BRD has the legal power to compel the relevant ISP to disclose sufficient information to identify Mr Breyer, then Mr Breyer's IP address will be personal data in the hands of the BRD.

By precedent (unless I'm missing more recent case law), for the vast majority of entities possessing IP addresses e.g. through request logs, an IP address is not "personal data," and determining the continental whereabouts of an IP would therefore not be considered "profiling."

I'm not a lawyer; I'm only relaying what's come up in conversation between attorneys covering the topic. I'm open to seeing the position I'm relaying above proven wrong.

Someone on reddit noted that this may be true for one more reason: the law does not allow automatic profiling of the user (Article 22)

I find it pretty problematic that the US does that to gambling site operators. People who do things that are legal where they live should not have to fear that they'll get arrested when they visit a foreign country just because those things are not legal in that country.

All that was happening after Central High in Little Rock, yet before major civil rights legislation passed congress. My mind spins thinking about all the things happening in the 1960's. Would Kennedy have even been able to pass civil rights and other reforms without the experience of the later President Johnson's legislative skills? What if Kennedy had not been killed, we had not been drawn into an endless Vietnam war, would we have even had the fortitude to make it to the moon?
He said the phrase "enforced monogomy" (in a positive context) and everyone lost their shit.

> My motivated critics couldn’t contain their joyful glee this week at discovering my hypothetical support for a Handmaid’s Tale-type patriarchal social structure

> “enforced monogamy” does not mean government-enforced monogamy. “Enforced monogamy” means socially-promoted, culturally-inculcated monogamy, as opposed to genetic monogamy – evolutionarily-dictated monogamy, which does exist in some species (but does not exist in humans). This distinction has been present in anthropological and scientific literature for decades.

Basically...traditional (voluntary) marriage.

Faced with the decision to interpret Peterson's phrase as dsytopian lobster-like social structure, or pedestrian traditional marriage, the author and others assumed the less plausible interpretation.

IP address is PII, though. The fact that you're processing it into broader categories in order to make an automated decision is neither here nor there.

Logging HTTP requests is allowed not because it contains no sensitive data, but because you have a legitimate interest in logging usage of the web server in order to defend yourself against computer crimes, for example. What you aren't allowed to do is retain these logs indefinitely as if they weren't sensitive.

Mr Minnan-Wong, who has not personally attended the two public meetings that Sidewalk has held so far, is not convinced.

"I've heard that the meetings are very slick productions but that they don't go far in addressing the concerns held by members of the public, who want to know the details of what is in the agreement."

I admit Sidewalk's approach is a bit questionable here, but why not go to their meetings and ask questions instead of "I heard this and that"?

No sane western corporation will willingly eliminate an entity about the site of USA out of spite and take a profit hit just because of new PII protocol. Just look at FB, Google and the rest of the advertising companies. They bent over backwards trying to accodomate the law.

But: GDRP will filter out businesses that existed in the legaly grey area because technology was faster than the law in this type of busines competitive advantage features.
A lot of the "entropy" of border definitions is that borders were in fact not rigidly defined until recently, and a lot of areas nominally within a state's borders would have had high degrees of autonomy. Therefore any presentation like this must by necessity make many subjective and probably controversial decisions about what constitutes the border at any given time. Lots of the fluidity is just noise.

On the other hand, in some eras there was even greater fluidity, because in the middle ages especially, most of Europe consisted of land controlled by various nobles with often only nominal suzerainty of a king, and every time one of these landed nobles died or inherited or married the borders would change, and there existed hundreds of semi-independent states in modern Germany alone. That can't be represented well on a map this scale.

Secondly, the thing you're observing in Italy is just the normal functioning of the Roman republic, which elected two consuls every year.

Thirdly, the "single malignant character", aka the "Great Man Theory" of history, is honestly very simplified and not really accepted by modern historians. A modern historian would rather say the societal conditions were ripe for a warmongering dictator to arise, and would point to many factors outside the existence of any one individual as instrumental in creating that set of circumstances.

Overall, your observations show just how intellectually dangerous it is to draw broad conclusions from such a simplified presentation. It's neat to see, but it's far too arbitrary and simplistic to draw any sweeping conclusions about history from.
I think this is exactly backwards.

I only have basic knowledge of the law (I'm in the US) and I'm curious. If you're not operating at all in the EU and outright block EU IP ranges, can the EU take any action against you if an EU citizen manages to access the site and you do not comply with GDPR? Surely that is out of their jurisdiction, right?

I have US-only clients currently freaking out because they think they are going to be sued into oblivion, but I can't imagine they have anything to worry about (we've been giving them the whole "we can't provide legal advice, talk to your lawyer about what you need to do and we'll work with you to make it happen" line)
Is anything in GDPR an arrestable offence?
There's no reason to choose. This is the logical conclusion of runaway inequality: less consumption and oversupply of capital (aka financialization). In real terms, outside of the big three (education, real estate, and healthcare) we're seeing a great deal of demand destruction. Millennials are buying less of everything -- food, entertainment, clothing, transportation, and even babies. All the while the labor pool shrinks and shrinks ensuring the low demand becomes structural. On the supply side increasingly concentrated capital has no choice but to chase after any and every growth opportunity no matter how wacky. The whole thing is self-reinforcing in a kind of three body problem: low effective wages and big debts (student loans, mortgages) drive less consumption and low interest rate drive increasing asset prices drive wacky investments in bitcoin/real estate/education/healthcare ... which drive low effective wages and big debts.

All of this was predicted by Marx and isn't terribly surprising. The surprising thing here is that the new peasants are able to consume so little without owning land. The price of food and clothing and a lot of consumer technology has collapsed. Seems like most entertainment is either free or Netflix-style subscription (too cheap to meter). By some estimates [0] Millenials are spending just $20/day! The crashing birth rates are the future's problem and the growing political unrest and populism is unlikely to lead to anything but twitter fights. (It's possible it might lead to thermonuclear war but we're assuming nobody's stupid enough to press the button.) In the end there's really no need for global communist revolution if we can all get fat off junk food and keep each other entertained with youtube.
