Me too! I just picked off a couple of ticks this evening after woodland mushroom picking. My region is endemic for Lyme disease. I'm not concerned because the tick must be attached for 36-48 hours for Lyme disease to vector. Wash clothes immediately after being outdoors and have a shower check. Having a willing partner makes it more effective and fun.
The Daily Mail is neither fake news, nor propaganda, nor a content farm. These are ludicrous suggestions. It's an unpleasant sensationalist tabloid, but it abides by the UK press standards authority. There are equivalents in every western country.
This is an absurd comment. The rule of law works in the USA as much as it does in other developed countries. There is no such thing as "too large to take on". I note though that there is not yet any evidence of a crime having been committed.
Daily Mail is a bad newspaper but it's nowhere near being "world's absolute shoddiest sensationalist tabloids". If you don't live in the UK then I think you have no idea how bad many newspapers are in other countries. Specifically the Daily Mail has to abide by the UK press regulation body, which limits its ability to publish fake stories. Try travelling abroad and seeing what some non-UK newspapers are like!
Bad. Wait 5 seconds between clicks to see a photo with everything whizzing about the screen giving you motion sickness. It's technically slick, but the number of people who will use it actually view lots of photos is basically zero, because the user-interface is so bad. Maybe that's not the point, maybe this is just a technical demo.
Search on this page for the word "fraud". Here's what I'd do in your position: remove anything on the internet which personally identifies you as an employee of your company. Nobody knows what is going to happen next, but be prepared for it.
I think this "growth hacking" will spectacularly backfire and destroy the company. It's 2018, this stuff doesn't fly anymore. And as the tweeter pointed out, it's breaks the GDPR in Europe. Disaster.
Sorry your comment has been downvoted to grey. Indeed, the headline is nonsense, payment of tax will continue to be in USD. This is a very silly headline and it's embarrassing seeing it being upvoted on HackerNews.
Racism! Stong word, but this is what the Swedish cashless society is: indirect racism. Those at the margins of society are excluded from participating in society because they don't have Swedish bank accounts or Swedish credit cards. Many clubs and pubs require that to enter. Indirectly, this means that non-Swedish (non-white) people don't get into the club. Not direct racism, but indirect (the outcome is the same, no white people allowed entry, or to participate in society).
It's astonishing that it's as simple as CATting a zip file to the end of a jpg. I feel there are consequences here for any website that accepts image uploads.
That's supernice for you in supernice Denmark. Now what about all the other EU countries? What about in 5 years time if things become less supernice. 10 years time?
"his belief that everyone working in GDPR enforcement in the EU will not only be totally predictable and reasonable today but also going forward into the indefinite future."
EXACTLY! There seems to be an almost cultish devotion to the benevolent institution that it can do no wrong, neither now nor henceforth.
I understand WHY people have this belief. The EU is under constant attack at the moment from many sides, and people feel they need to defend it at all costs, even it they are wrong.
Reminder: you have to legally comply with every letter of the GDPR, not just the TLDR version. Saying "but we implemented the TLDR version" is not a legal defence.
You are transposing your like of certain EU institutions (human rights regulations) and grafting them onto this legislation. This isn't how it works, not least because there has been no case-law yet, so we have no idea how it will be interpreted. Therefore a legal compliance unit has no choice but to follow GDPR the letter, which is hugely difficult and bureaucratic. The notion that they are "good-natured" is meaningless in a legal sense.
It seems many commentators here are confusing criticism of the GDPR with criticism of the EU itself. Surely people are sophisticated enough to understand that they are 2 hugely different things, and that a robust criticism of regulations and laws are part of a healthy democratic society.
You seem to have misunderstood my comment. I was saying that from a legal complience perspective, the notion that the regulatary body is "good-natured" is meaningless. You have to comply with ever letter of the GDPR, you can't just do most of it, or interpret it loosely, and say "oh but they are good-natured people they will understand.". Legal complience doesn't work like that AT ALL!
I agree, and there seems to be a lack of conversation around this! Next week could be ground-zero for all sorts of unintended consequences. Especially, a flashmob of GDPR requests could sink a company.
