#212I don't know about you, but where I live (Sweden) there are strict rules on how you can store personal data and who has access to it. It's also against the law to put people in "databases". I guess we still remember WW2 and how the Nazi used such registers ...

I find this very hard to believe. At face value I interpret this as saying that no company doing business in Sweden has any sort of customer database. Is this correct?
What about a CRM system?

> Why do you blame the programmer, but won't blame the tester, or the guy who designed the test, or the guy who designed whole workflow, or the architect who planned the system? Where did you get the idea that I don't? I think people make mistakes sometimes (myself included), but I don't somehow think that diminishes the mistake. I also think the programmer has less responsibility than the architect, or the CTO (whic…
The best programmers have a choice of where they work, and will avoid environments that have a reputation for excessive blaming or scapegoating. So it's a self-defeating strategy for a company to take. Only the desperate need apply. Better to create an environment like the fabled NASA software lab, where individuals are never blamed -- only the "process". That will attract high-quality applicants.
That's a good point.
I don't know. Maybe if we can get top programmers paid more to stop bullshitting we can do something about that.

Either chaostheory edited their post o you missed a "the" before "business practices", presumably referring to the business practices of western countries.
I cut and paste the quote directly.
I'm going to say that you probably didn't.
EDIT: let's say you did, even though I doubt it. Even then I feel that it's pretty obvious that I was referring to familiarity with western business practices (and laws) and not business practices in general.

It's fairly well known and accepted that regulations and rules in western countries are FAR stricter than those in Asian and Indian countries. If you care about privacy EU > US > everywhere else (any non western country has literally zero protections or laws about privacy that are enforced), if you care about workers being treated decently EU and US are bastions of fairly mediocre to bad treatment, everywhere else is…
That’s not really true, though. Look at Japan. Sweatshops and de facto slavery isn’t everywhere, but you’re kinda right, countries which were colonies before – mostly in Africa, Asia and South America – tend to have less wealth and prosperity.
Japan is maybe the lone exception in Asia, even when you include South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Then again I could be proven wrong.

> ...countries which were colonies before – mostly in Africa, Asia and South America – tend to have less wealth and prosperity The US, Canada, and Australia are rather prominent counterexamples.
Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore are also good counterexamples.

You need the customer's consent. So if they opt-in it's alright in most cases. But you can only store their personal data if you absolutely need to, and in a secure way. For example only store post address if you intend to send them snail male.
You can for example only have someone in your CRM if they are a customer. And if they ask you to remove their data, you must remove all information about them.
You do not have to worry if your company and all your equipment is located outside Sweden though. But as for example Facebook have a data-center in Sweden, you can actually request them to remove all your data.
Example of illegal database is a database for direct marketing. Or a register of race, religion or preferences.

I've not seen numbers and I'm skeptical that it's growing, but the revenue can't be more than a rounding error on their books. Lumping Apple with Google in terms of data gathering is misleading at best.
You mean Apple, the company that until recently forced you to give them cc data in order to install any app on your device, regardless of the app being a paid or free one?
Apple wants your money, not your data (as further evidenced by the fact that they just killed iAds).
