    Great story and all, but this piece is obviously written as an attack on Trump for things he didn't do, and failures that never happened to him. When will the media get that this d…

    So now the EU is in charge of how I decide to build my app, and is trying to dictate what suppliers I can use? What if I decide that crash reporting is an essential service (it is)…

    So the rest of the world should get annoyed with the opening dialog, so that the EU doesn't have to get blocked? Sounds like this could be solved by a proper solution, which the GD…

    I'm beginning to highly doubt that anyone defending the GDPR has ever had any responsibilities that included: 1. Running a tech company 2. Funnels, conversions, and retentions 3. W…

    Did you read any further? If I can't prevent them from using the app, then I have to solve an impossible problem. Namely providing a fallback for core services that the app is buil…

    Don't worry. The GDPR does a bang up job of devaluing itself.

    Yes. Besides for the administration costs incurred (which is probably the real killer), the list of death points are: 1. Adding a dialog as the first step in an onboarding funnel t…

    Unfortunately those competitors will crash and burn when their users get pissed off at the opening dialog.

    Oh the law. Good one. The same law that fined me $1,800 because a posted notice fell off my door in a blizzard? The same law that allowed the judge to uphold the fine by saying "I …

    I think you mean "can't see a reason not to honestly, ONLY if it's valid". And even that's morally ambiguous.

    Really? Most of what I've seen from outside the industry is akin to "GET THIS ING DIALOG OFF MY SCREEN I HATE IT WHEN THE FIRST THING AN APP DOES IS SHOW A ING POINTLESS DIALOG WHE…

    I've heard conflicting reports about that as well.

    I don't see what leaking personal information has to do with collecting crash data, or using Google's infrastructure to store my data. Why should I have to be on the hook for what …

    My point is, I have no clue what's collecting data in an improper way, and I'm not going to hire a lawyer for a hobby app. The amount of conflicting information about whether I do …

    I'm still struggling with the fact that the EU can compel me to add what will be a funnel shattering dialog to my onboarding. I've shelved a bunch of side projects that I was excit…

    Curious about the Yahoo Store debacle that was mentioned a few times.

    Who established the fact that Conscientiousness negatively correlates with intelligence?

    YMMV but it improves my experience because I get to use all these great products and features Google has, without lifting a finger, and in most cases without paying a penny. All I …

    I discovered the feature by mistake, and I thought it was cool. I usually browse Wikipedia on my phone, so I don't know if I'd still think it was cool if there are constant false p…

    This is typical of new languages. A good showcase of dogfooding.

    I'm deferring to the reasons why it's a law.
