> That's only an empirical generalization if you can cache out "valuable/effective/legitimate" in genuinely empirical terms (at minimum, in terms of observer-independent observations free from value judgments).

I can cash it out empirically as "generates accurate empirical predictions and suggests fruitful avenues for future investigation" (fruitful in the sense of ultimately leading to more detailed and accurate empirical predictions). That the measure of a theory is the accuracy of its predictions is of course a subjective human position (there are an infinity of possible measures on which to evaluate theories, and a priori no reason to prefer one over another), but again that's (a cautious Neurath's boat extension of) the common-sense way that we all evaluate theories in practice in everyday settings.

If that worked I'd embrace GDPR. Problem with "any consumer can make a complaint which requires expensive follow-up" regimes is one doesn't have to do anything wrong to incur costs. Someone can mis-interpret something and make a complaint. Now you have to interface with a regulator, which tends to be risky, expensive and time consuming.
There is, however, a list of a couple of hundred problems and potential problems found by it, exactly as Panino said.
Please folks, GDPR investigations are only undertaken by the EU. No single actor can try to 'sue' you for infringment. The maximum they can do is to complain to the GDPR office in your country. And then, maybe, the office is gonna undertake an investigation. This whole is process can be a matter of years.

HSBC Canada requires 2FA with a token or their mobile bank app. It also isn't possible to change account contact info, setup new Payees, transfer money to another country, without generating a security code with a token PIN.
The contact centre agents are unable to access your account unless you can correctly answer the security questions. This does mean an agent can lock out your account though.

On the contrary. I'd love to talk about those problems, but this isn't one of them. Data Subjects should have the right to make Data Subject Access Requests. But the context matters.

If you want to really talk about the GDPR's problems then I think it would be better to focus on the Designated Representative bit, which is prohibitively expensive for small companies.
If your failure to comply with the GDPR has cost someone damages, they can recover those damages in civil court by suing you, though.

> when states issue more currency to buy bonds, do you call that stealing?

Nope, definitely not stealing without question. It's economic policy which is a lot more nuanced. Not saying it's never stealing, but issuing more currency has been happening for decades and it's no surprise to anyone.

---

Your example and double spending are definitely not the same: with double spending you are basically giving coins to an exchange, which you later "steal" back via forking the chain. This is against everyone's expectations AND against the ToS of all exchanges (which you break if you double spend deposited coins).

Issuing more FIAT currency is very similar to mining (pumping more money into the economy) which I don't think anyone considers stealing. Double spending however..

You probably should not be making such blanket statements. Keep in mind that the companies that receive such requests may have substantial assets in the EU (or may even be based entirely in the EU).

Years of regulatory investigation sounds expensive. Furthermore, willfully ignoring regulators is a good way to piss them off. The only winning strategies here are (a) lawyer and lobbyist up and (b) block users in countries where you don't have (a).
Processing is defined in Article 4(2):

> 2. ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/

- BUT -

Article 2(1) limits the whole GDPR to personal data "processed" in the context of a filing system, whether electronic or physical.

In other words (in my non-lawyer reading): If I have your business card in my pocket, or I leave it on the table, or throw it away, I'm not "processing" your data in a covered way—even though I have it. If I put it in my stack of business cards or add you to my CRM, I am.

One way to keep vendoring from causing nightmare code reviews is to keep updates to vendored components in their own release/branch/PR. Yes, there will be changes to your code to accommodate the updated packages, but it keeps it very focused so that the code review isn’t also trying to evaluate updates to business rules or functionality.

If you are updating components along with business rule updates, then, yes, it’s going to complicate code review, regardless of vendoring.

> We strive to live our lives based on reason

I don't think we do. Reason is a means to an end, not a goal in itself.

> so we should look for ways to understand the world that go beyond a circular argument.

I don't see it as circular, but even if it were, my point is it's impossible to do better: all of us accept everyday common sense before we can even begin to argue technical philosophy, and if we're willing to set it aside then there are infinitely many self-consistent things we could think and no reason to prefer one over another. So no amount of sophistry will ever get you away from having to believe in everyday common sense.

> Such lines of thinking exist. They have been well argued and debated and have much going for them. Plenty of places to start learning about them, but maybe start with Aristotle.

In fact, this is how I feel generally about most or all engagements I have with large companies. Privacy policies, opt-in for any protections which have aggressively anti-consumer defaults, blosted irrelevant Javascript executing on their webpages, unfriendly customer service, bureaucracy any time I need help.

Since this is all standard, I would generally believe a serious-toned legalese template letter that referenced real possible consequences for non-compliance would be a no-brainer first place to start.
All JIT:ted VM:s modify their code segments. So not a big deal at all. Code modification is done to implement dynamic dispatch efficiently. For example, suppose the compiler generates code for "a + b" If it can't infer the types of a and b, it generates a call to a stub function. When that stub function is called, it looks at the types of a and b and generates efficient dispatch code. For example, if a and b were ints it would generate code like: "if (type(a)==int && type(b)==int) { return fast_add(a, b); } else { slow_but_generic_add(a, b); }"

A sophisticated JIT could even keep track on how frequently the fast track is taken and generate a new stub based on that. It could even inline the stub into the calling function and recompile that one.

Jewess Julia Ioffe, regular scribbler for The Atlantic and described by the Guardian as "one of America’s top feature writers", whom I trust qualifies as mainstream, made a tweet promoting the false story that Trump was to appoint his daughter to an office conventionally held by the First Lady.

Forbes writer Frances Coppola who has appeared as an authority on BBC's Newsnight floats the nutty theory that "anti-immigration" groups are somehow orchestrating or otherwise inducing the mass rapes committed by so-called refugees in Germany.

What's "damages"? Does "emotional distress" count?
And if what’s generally taken to be true actually fits the definition of misinformation, and other misinformation networks are created with the intent to combat that, is this really any different from how politics has always been? It seems we are exchanging a lot more bullshit now, but at least it can be more easily observed when it’s on the internet vs a physical medium. Right now I think the internet has generally made things worse, but it seems possible that we can raise the standard as time goes on. At least now I think a subset of highly interested people are able to more accurately determine what’s factual than anyone would have been able to just a couple decades ago.

Take a small look a the overall process here:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/sites/beta-political/files/d...

First you should receive an enquiry about yor DPA asking for the information they need and your processes, if they deem it necessary they will do an in-depth investigation. After that, they can reach a conclusion. Then if you are still not GDPR complaint, you will be fined.
I feel the same way about feedback about my personal performance. It's always nice to hear "you are doing great", but at performance reviews or status meetings I really want to hear how I am screwing up and (more importantly) what I need to improve.

Having been on both sides of that conversation, it's really hard to deliver it, and takes humility to receive. But it's far more valuable.
It does sound a bit silly, but the alternative is to keep them in your brain, and AFAICT it's impossible to do that these days. I have hundreds of accounts in my password manager, I couldn't possibly remember secure passwords for all of them.

FWIW I'm not a fan of keeping them in some cloud service dedicated for storing passwords (1PW's subscription offering, lastpass) because if someone is going to break into servers and steal passwords it's going to be from those fine people.

A middle ground is to use something like KeePass, where the encrypted password file is stored where you want it to be stored (ie your hard drive), where you can manage how you want to distribute that file between places you need it.

It's not just the Middle East, you can find a lot of other examples all over the world. So, no: not uniquely American at all.

> Outside of libertarian lala-land

"la la land" implies people are unaware of reality. Libertarian's by and large aren't naive. They know what reality is. They realize people don't have choice and want to change that by opening up competition for pharmaceutical sales and insurance across state borders and even country borders.

Just because something is far from the reality of current day does not mean it doesn't have merit or that the people who want it are la la land.

Imagine a world where if a drug is approved in the EU but not our FDA then we can still buy it. Or a world where if a drug is cheaper in Canada we can buy it from there. Or if the people on the other side of the border between two states has lower premiums than I can actually buy that plan without moving to the other state.

And further more, insurance and drug companies will feel the market pressure of consumers having real choice.

Doesn't seem that "La La" to me.
Each of the EU's twenty-eight members will have their own interpretation of the process.

In any case, the fines aren't the problem. It's the cost and distraction of going through this process. That cost is imposed irrespective of whether one is doing everything correctly. Responding to DPA requests, investigations, et cetera is a reasonable burden for a company like Facebook. For many start-ups, it may make sense to partition and/or delay their European roll-outs.
