We are one of the largest large format printers in the US, but our online business does not intentionally market to the EU or accept payments in Euros, so while I did a risk assessment for management, we concluded that we could ignore it.
I have a similar, but opposite feeling. Genealogy sites, even free US based ones, are (such as WikiTree) taking GDPR very seriously. Rather than risk being sued out of existence, they are marking any and all content involving living individuals as private unless the individual has an active account on the site.

This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to find links to living individuals. A ton of people have done a ton of work to build a shared public tree, and some 50-100 years of it are getting chopped off the bottom.
Not even residents (meaning permanent residents). People who are in the Union's territories (including tourists / visitors). Like most laws it applies wherever EU countries have jurisdiction. It applies to all your users if your business is located in the EU though.
The US has all the leverage. They can just say "you can trade with Iran or you could trade with us," and what is the EU going to do? I'm not happy about the Iran deal being torn up either, but there is nothing European leaders can do about it.

I borrowed $32k was expected to pay near $700/mo on the 10 yr plan. Graduated in 2009 when everyone lost their jobs, nobody was hiring and those who were, got minimum 30% lower salaries. Competition in my field was 400 to one. Not only did a candidate need to be better than 400 applicants, they had to be willing to accept below market wages. Needless to say, the first job I got out of college was not related to my degree but, to 5 years of industry experience and my salary offer was, "this is what we are paying. If you don't want it, we can hire someone else for less. That wage got me on IBR for $129/mo. I paid more than the minimum but, still accrued interest faster. I was lucky to have $15 left at the end of the month, after rent, utilities car payments AND getting my groceeies from a food bank. This system is not sustainable and, if people want to talk about passing the burden on to taxpayers, that would be to the borrower, who has to pay income tax on money they never earned, while the private lender gets a tax credit on the principal. The problem is with the lenders expecting double the interest they used to offer and needlessly skyrocketing tuition and college expenses BECAUSE the U.S. GOVERNMENT stopped providing subsidies to the public Universities and to offset the loss, passed what taxpayers were already paying, onto the students, who are already taxpayers (sheesh)... Then add the price gauging private colleges, who took government loans and made false promises and yes, now the government is paying off those loans to private corporations on behalf of the jipped students.Add in that all colleges have lowered entrance standards, to make the bucks off of people who have no business being in college. I've considered going back to school and found that most colleges accept low C and high D averages. Those kids drop out when the loans run dry. I wanted to find a school that takes education seriously, with a minimum entry requirement of a low B or high C and that doesn't exist. You can basically fail high school and be accepted into college. It's a sad waste of time, money and it detracts from the people who actually go to learn something.
EU has a history of moralistic bullshit proposals like that stupid cookie law.
Which looked good in the eye of the law-makers (career politicians I should call them) but doesn't really work in the real world.

People get used to accepting the stupid cookie law and it becomes a habit, and in a couple of years the law lost it's meaning (people blindly accept cookie law) and no-one cares about "the great privacy laws of the EU".

This is probably how GDPR will end up, no sane person would have the time to read all the privacy notices and the crappy opt-ins to just order food as fast as possible.

Hey I'm starving I need that food ordered now, here's my location so you can deliver food here, I don't give a rat's ass about your privacy statement and clickady clack are there any more opt-ins to check before I can finally order my food?
If the business has no presence in the EU, then the EU is impotent to enforce their law.
I find the idea of a stat zooming through the Milky Way to be so hilarious, but I can’t really explain why. Stars just aren’t supposed to be going on high-speed solo adventures through the galaxy in my mind. Although perhaps a better movie would be about a black hole hurtling towards earth, as they’re also supposed to be traversing the galaxy.
In the Perl world auto-formatting syntax is old hat, though of course (it being Perl) the formatter is highly configurable[0]. So in practice you get consistency within an organization, but perhaps not over time.

Coming from that background I was initially put off by the lack of options with gofmt, but once I realized the whole world of go coders would be using the same formatting I immediately fell in love with it.

True. So if we presume all the opoids are from human bodily waste, we would need divide by 10% (the amount excreted out): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycodone#Metabolism

Probably the molecule does break up with a certain half life, either due to sun, or other animals metabolising it, etc. Then that 2.2 kg brick needs to be replaced once every two half-lives.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2991390/ Gives really hand-wavy half-life of many drugs in the environment as about 500 days, so the brick needs to be replaced every 1000 days.

Also 1 ppq is the lower bound. I think 1 ppt is quite reasonable for many methods though, so that can multiply the limit by 1000x.

All the factors above can increase the threshold amount of opoids, but here are some factors that can decrease it substantially:

There are people who dump unused drugs in, so that needs no attenuation factor.

Also, mussels are filter feeders, and oxycodone might accumulate in them substantially more (like 1000x+) than the background.

Finally, where they collected the mussels is probably correlated with sewage drains due to ease of human access, so the effective "volume of distribution" can be way less than the 110 km^3.

All that is to say, the real statistics are in the overdose calls for opoids. The headline is still an interesting cocktail-party line, but probably should be taken as a statement just by itself.

You're right. I didn't get the analogy. After your explanation, I now get it.

But still, the analogy is flawed then. If I give the restaurant money, the way the use they money afterwards doesn't affect me. They cannot take more money from my bank account or from my pocket. The only thing they can do is invest it and make more money, but it does not affect me.

When I give my data, the way they use my data – after I've "eaten there" – can affect my life. They can send me spam, they can put me into database of "people with suspicious behavior", ...

The law is more about giving a second chance: I could have given information in the past, and you could have sent me commercial emails in the past. But now I've realized I've made a mistake and I don't want you do that anymore.

If you want an analogy to real life: it's more about giving 5 years of jail to a burglar. They committed a mistake, so they have to pay for it, but they should have the right to get out after having paid, and live a normal honest life.

How is that unfair?

The people who said it would be a massive boondoggle then went out of their way to make it a massive boondoggle. I guess the mistake California made was not realizing they weren't making a prediction, but a threat.
The cost argument is always interesting to me, when you consider it in context. We (in America) recently passed a tax cut that will cost around $150B/year for the next 10 years, and likely more if the temporary parts are made permanent. Even with cost overruns, that's almost enough to pay for 2 California bullet trains PER YEAR for the next decade.

And yes, I know California is just 1 state out of 50, but even still, it just seems like people have really bad context on what is / is not an outrageous cost for government.
American users are not celebrating anything; the populace here is half-mad, the result of decades of targeted propaganda and marketing honed upon the edge of surveillance by a gruel of barely distinguishable private and public actors. In its last election the US learned that these strings could be plucked by foreign actors by simply buying them, but strayed dangerously close to informing the public that such things were bought, that a misinformed public in a particular localized region could be sold as a packaged product and that misinformation was the product, the apex-goal: to create an identity around a false belief. I attribute much of the US' mental health problems to the disparity between the advertisement and reality.
I think that's how they are preparing for the imminent commodification of their Deep Learning space - by milking the cow as much as they can before they are forced to compete on price. Once TF/Torch/MXNet can reliably run on AMD/Intel hardware without changing a line of code and with comparable performance, they will feel both consumer and data center pressure and their high margin business might evaporate quickly. Still, with CUDA/cuDNN they were the pioneers and the only relevant party so they deserve some ice cream for that.

It's not that they love walled gardens, it's that they have different priorities than other companies. Users and usability are their primary concerns. Everything else is done to support that.

They have open-source initiatives, they like to be open like that when it doesn't interfere with those mandates. It's just that usability is such a huge thing that it impacts every step of their process.

Nobody just doing ordinary business things is going to get caught up in the GDPR. The EU are going to go after the local companies first and/or the worst offenders. Just sit back and wait for the case law and best practices to settle down and then decide what to do.

My feeling is it is going to end up like the cookie law, but who knows at this stage.

Well thats because you dont understand GDPR.
If the company doesnt conduct any business in EU - or more correctly with EU private persones - then GDPR doesnt apply to the company. It also doesnt apply for any Business-2-business relations.

GDPR only applies if you are providing a service to a EU citizen. That also explains what EU will do if a company doesnt comply with GDPR (where it should); they will stop the company from providing those services to the EU citizen.

This is also why blocking EU traffic doesnt make you GDPR compliant (I can use a vpn or visit your site when travelling, and then you are still providing a service to a EU citizen).

If the case really is as you say, with just serving http request, then you have no issue with being GDPR compliant, because you dont store and information about the EU citizen. If however you are not just serving http requests, but track the user or otherwise store information on the site visitor, then you may have GDPR issues. But if you do store data about your users, you really should treat the data correctly.

GDPR is common sense, and if you bother to understand it correctly, its fairly easy to be compliant. Though I’d say, the bigger the company the more complex the implementation.
I guess I'm not really talking about it from a business-centric perspective, but rather one of progress.
