>closing yourself for an market that size will hurt more than changing a few thing to be compliant

Only if I make significant money from that market. If most of my revenue/profit comes from the US and it's problematic to "do business" in the EU or China, why wouldn't I want to just cut access off rather than dealing with potential hassles? The fact that it's potentially a large market is irrelevant to me. In this case, any moderately tech-savvy consumers can get to my site anyway using a VPN. But I've sent a clear message that I'm not marketing to European consumers.
Is this including the elderly who often will break a hip that way and then die of the complications? Because if so, that would not be comparable to a healthy young (< 60 yo) person falling.

I mean, using a file-sharing service (which one person did) isn't really different from emailing them to me. It's just more convenient/advanced.

> But you could always just recharge via SMS or the web? Don‘t understand that particular point.

At least when I was using it, no. You had to get a letter first to setup a bank transfer method of payment, then you could pay online using the web or app. Otherwise you had to actually go to an Aldi. My wife still does this because she's still on Alditalk and hasn't bothered to get the letter.
If I send you an email for my healthcare service and you click on a link in it, you confirmed your (free? most likely?) email address.

If I send you a letter for the same service and you enter the code within, you confirmed your address.

Different things and the former is usually considered useless, the latter interesting to the other party.

I'm a German, now living in Singapore. I used as much cash in DE as in SG: Only where needed and somewhat rarely. In DE it's usually a small shop (kiosk), local public transportation (sometimes) or events. In SG it's food courts/hawker places and events.

Everywhere else cards work, Singapore or Germany (or Israel for what it's worth) work the same in my experience.

Campaign Monitor is awesome from a templating standpoint. Sendy is by far the cheapest and is self hosted (I haven't used this so can't say whether it's any good or not)
I've read once that the break even cash vs. electronic payment is at around 5 Euros. If you pay more than 5 Euros it's cheaper at the end of month to use electronic payment.

Cash gets more and more expensive (exponentially) on the amount of money (security, deposition etc.). On electronic cash it's like a flat line.
You mean what people did when buying normal cellphones before touch screen phones? And so what?

Germany knows about Sweden: cashless => negative interest rates => stealth internal devaluation
Your personal opinion on cash is irrelevant to the subject. Cash has property you say you don't want. Some people might and do want them. Just have a look at what the relationship between Germans and cash.

Bitcoin has property similar to cash to many extend. It was not technically possible before its invention and as such as it is a real intrinsect value (dont ask me to quantify it)

> Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and
unambiguous indication of the data subject's agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her,
such as by a written statement, including by electronic means, or an oral statement. This could include ticking a
box when visiting an internet website, choosing technical settings for information society services or another
statement or conduct which clearly indicates in this context the data subject's acceptance of the proposed
processing of his or her personal data. Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute
consent. Consent should cover all processing activities carried out for the same purpose or purposes. When the
processing has multiple purposes, consent should be given for all of them. If the data subject's consent is to be
given following a request by electronic means, the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive
to the use of the service for which it is provided.

> Where processing is based on the data subject's consent, the controller should be able to demonstrate that the
data subject has given consent to the processing operation. In particular in the context of a written declaration
on another matter, safeguards should ensure that the data subject is aware of the fact that and the extent to
which consent is given. In accordance with Council Directive 93/13/EEC (1) a declaration of consent preformulated
by the controller should be provided in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain
language and it should not contain unfair terms. For consent to be informed, the data subject should be aware at
least of the identity of the controller and the purposes of the processing for which the personal data are
intended. Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is
unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.

> In order to ensure that consent is freely given, consent should not provide a valid legal ground for the processing
of personal data in a specific case where there is a clear imbalance between the data subject and the controller, in
particular where the controller is a public authority and it is therefore unlikely that consent was freely given in
all the circumstances of that specific situation. Consent is presumed not to be freely given if it does not allow
separate consent to be given to different personal data processing operations despite it being appropriate in the
individual case, or if the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on the
consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance.

> Suicides should be a human right (and I don't see how they are relevant to guns anyway)

Sure, and I'm there with you on that. However, gun suicide attempts are worse than most other means in the sense that very little preparation or premeditation is required— you can pull the trigger in an instant and there's no recovering from it.

Quoting a Vox piece from 2015: "There's a popular myth that suicidal people will find a way to kill themselves no matter what, and that closing off one method (like guns) will just lead to an increase in suicides through other methods (like hanging or overdoses). But most suicides aren't committed by determined people who can't be talked out of it. They're impulsive actions that can usually be prevented by small barriers. Many survivors say they deliberated less than a day, and sometimes for only a matter of minutes, before making a suicide attempt."

Or at least it should be. That's why there is a v_max that a car is not allowed to exceed and a faster or heavier car will have better breaks.

> I used my fingers on my Palm Pilot because it was more practical than dragging the stylus out.

Still using it in the same way as a mouse. The thing that set the iOS UI apart is direct manipulation of the UI. E.g. instead of using a scrollbar/arrows to scroll, you use your finger to move the page around. Instead of clicking a checkbox you move a slider. Instead of clicking a "zoom in" button you 'stretch' the photo out using your fingers. etc.
"Clever UI" (read: deceptive) tricks are obviously explicitely forbidden by the GDPR.
> so TeamViewer, Remote Desktop etc. are all banned
No. Basically the GDPR is structured around a whole bunch of reasons why you might _need_ to store and process data about people ("Subjects"), for which you have implicit permission because it's necessary to something you're doing for the Subject. You need to make sure Subjects can find out what you needed, and why, and you can't change your mind later.

These purposes do not need Consent. You don't need to Consent to a retailer knowing your credit card number when you use the card to buy something. You don't need to Consent to Amazon knowing your delivery address when you buy stuff.

Consent comes in when you and the Subject both want to enable processing that isn't necessary. For example, if I buy a book from Amazon, it makes sense that I'd get a confirmatory email saying I ordered the book, and they're agreeing to sell it to me, and another one saying the book has been shipped and will be with me in 2-4 days. Those feel pretty necessary. But why would I get email about how great Amazon's new Fire tablet is? Well, Amazon could try asking me for Consent to send that sort of crap to me.

The GDPR is clear that you can't insist on implied Consent, you can't have "By visiting this web page I consent" or "To stop receiving our marketing, just unselect the default-selected boxes in the marketing permissions sub-section of your user profile, this may take up to 400 years to take effect" or similar nonsense. It needs to be a clear informed choice to give you this extra permission.

Some of the specifics will get litigated. I'm sure somebody will try to claim it's "necessary" to their business to track people and sell everything they possibly can, and I expect European courts to decide that's laughable nonsense.

> As I understand it, German obsession with privacy and cash stems largely from WW2. Information that the government had about its citizens were used to round up Jews to put them in ghettos and concentration camps.

The Stasi (state security service) also spied a lot on the citizens. Do not forget that the GDR only ceased to exist in 1990.
I find it more frustrating that network configuration tools seem to be added in layer after layer, like with the new netplan took in Ubuntu. To me it seems more complex than it needs to be.
Very poor. On Mac Safari, I switched to Reader mode, which circumvented it.

I'm confused. Yesterday I learned that Japan had too much cash. TIL Germany has too much cash. I hear on a regular basis that USA has too much cash, and don't get them started on the checks...

Where on earth is it, that fortunate land in which the happy people have gotten rid of their cash? Surely their economy is booming, and everyone is happy to have sacrificed the advantages of cash so as to optimize that fundamentally important transaction: hipsters buying overpriced coffee-related beverages without tipping.
That’s the whole point of GDPR, selectively kill the web businesses they want. BBC will never be concerned.

Well, I'm in Munich and have to use cash all the time. Lots of restaurants and little shops like kiosks/bakeries seem to be cash-only. And a lot of places that take "cards" only take, like Germany-specific debit cards (or maybe Europe-specific? Not certain).

In comparison, in the bay area, and to a slightly lesser extent in other parts of the US I lived in, even little kiosks or food trucks, hell even farmer's market stands almost always take credit cards. I had to use cash in the US maybe once or twice a month on average.

And again, it's not a "well they only do this in cases where privacy is actually really important (like healthcare"), because why does Alditalk care so much when the purpose of the address verification is solely for putting more money onto the account? Are they worried a random stranger is going to give me money?

I'm not certain of that. I think that GDPR's biggest effect, even before going live, was to raise awareness of what companies do with their data.

My wife is not particularly technical but has received four e-mails from a hobby magazine pleading with her, increasingly desperately, to opt-in to marketing. That has caused her to wonder why they're so desperate. Why is her information so valuable to them? What do they do with it? So she has decided not to renew her subscription.

I would like to argue with you, but then again, systemd exists (and is thriving) while being the most windows-like software existing by default on all popular linux distributions.

EDIT: I guess I have to clarify this statement a little; In Windows the concept of "logging" is up to the event manager, this mirrors journalctl. To be more precise they seem to focus on desktop operating systems with an example being the unit file itself: "The syntax is inspired by XDG Desktop Entry Specification .desktop files, which are in turn inspired by Microsoft Windows .ini files.", maybe you prefer talking about firewalld and it's "Zones" which are clearly inspired by desktop use. (Laptops more specifically).

There was something that I'm forgetting though, a terminology that was only used by microsoft to describe something and systemd used exactly the same terminology. It was very esoteric terminology though, I'm trying to find a reference.

Cash is fast.

Traditional direct debit payment takes around 20 seconds or so.

An experienced cashier is much faster in giving you your change if you pay cash.

There is a newish "instant" payment with NFC chips, that doesn't require a PIN or a signature if you pay less than 20 €. It's much faster (maybe 5 seconds?), but it's not available everywhere yet. Certainly not at shops where you typically only spend small amounts (bakery, small Asian fast-food places etc.).

I'm not sure "terse" is the right adjective. It presents basically the same amount of information as ifconfig (minus the packet counters) and actually adds a few more flags. It's all about the formatting really. Simply adding an empty line between each interface would go a long way. Also starting the line with the interface name instead of the index.

Adding more punctuation to delimit the fields (, : etc...) would be nice too. I mean what the hell:

When I started learning Linux when it was, I think, 0.99, I appreciated that so many commands where cross-Unix. It was a Unix lookalike. I could watch how something is done on one Unix, type this stuff into my Linux terminal, and get an equivalent result in Linux, and this helped a lot and created a sense of community. Now I see that Linux tears the standards apart, there are more and more obstacles with porting complex applications. More over, we can also see the emergence of "we support Ubuntu only, sorry" mentality - Linux became very diverged. I'm so happy to be using FreeBSD now on all my boxes, with it's init, ifconfig, file system hierarchy.

It's easy to say that now, to claim that nobody would have thought of it. But of course we know the history of technology and innovation in a competitive marketplace sees many innovations and evolution in design.

There is no doubt in my mind that Apple tried to cling to something which would have been absolutely "discovered" and developed very soon after. It was a land-grab for profit reasons, nothing to do with "diminishing efforts of talented people" that is such a cheesy line btw.

If you have a webpage with text and iamges, no user accounts and subscriptions then why you prefer to block the users then load the page without tracking, and show some static ads,better then nothing.

-we have FB scripts that do this
-we have ad company X script that tracks this
-we have Y product that tracks your focus

It's in the "Guidelines for Consent" document, in "3.1.3 Granularity":

"A service may involve multiple processing operations for more than one purpose. In such cases, the data subjects should be free to choose which purpose they accept, rather than having to consent to a bundle of processing purposes."

And they give an example:

"Within the same consent request a retailer asks its customers for consent to use their data to send them
marketing by email and also to share their details with other companies within their group. This consent is not
granular as there is no separate consents for these two separate purposes, therefore the consent will not be
valid."

I've been working on a tool for analyzing my DJ track library, with the goal of doing a little semi-supervised learning to help organize my crates, remind me about music that might be getting lost in the shuffle, and - eventually, if all goes well - automatically scan beatport, soundcloud, etc for new tracks and notify me about music that might fit into my library. It doesn't actually do anything useful yet, but even if it never comes together the way I'm imagining, it's already been a great ML learning experience:
