I think many people have the opinion that GDPR 'should not' apply outside the European region (or other countries that have enacted GDPR legislation). A common sense approach would be to say that if someone in Europe chooses to submit their details to an entity based outside of Europe then that's just their choice to waive their rights to their data. Lawyers and legislators might make arguments and talk about analogo…

It is illegal, whether people wish it wasn’t or think it’s sensible or downvote comments that point it out. Personally I think the gist of GDPR is more sensible than what you’re proposing as common sense - each person should have the right to decide what happens to data about them.

I hope the downvotes are for the sarcasm, not the point expressed. But considering other threads about this have been flagged[1] I guess this topic is taboo. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20052076

So all companies can just have a shell company outside Europe.

Anecdotally, after two years of literally just looking at tumbleweed in the application inbox, as a still-hiring company I have rarely felt as swamped with really interesting candidates and annoying recruiters as in the past four weeks. The tide has turned for sure.

Senior dev with my own anecdote. There are more open positions with interesting companies than there is time in the day to apply for them. I’m able to filter them by turn around time on hiring and interview process because I’m spoiled for choice.

It’s not less illegal because anyone could do it. I have copyright to my comments, and many of them can be considered personal data, especially if they are connected to my username. My rights are not waived because I publish something publicly.

Puzzling comment. Perhaps you should read the Terms of Service.

is Google ( or Alphabet ) an affiliated company?

There are so many problems with that with regard to GDPR. It’s not even linked from the signup page, so I’ve never even been informed about it. I’ve never been given the option to consent or reject consent to anything. You also can’t just say it’s “irrevocable” and pretend like GDPR doesn’t apply.

How is not posting it publicly consenting to it being available publically?

Yes. It's simply concludent. If you post on a public website you consent it can be crawled. Duh.

>GDPR yeah, you may wanna check your maps - youre a little too far from home.

What is that supposed to mean? My map tells me I’m in the European Union, which means GDPR applies.

Which problem exactly do you have with a summary statistic on anonymous data you consciously and deliberately contribute to?

The HN is pseudonymized, more anonymous than the kernel git.

So what's next? Prohibiting git clone on the kernel git? Because someone could do summary statistics there?

There are multiple strategies for caching in the server, without them IIRC the php code will be interpreted on each request, files parsed, and obviously hit the database for each request. There's fastcgi caching in nginx, php opcode in php-fpm, and WP specific cave plugins like Super Cache. At least this was the case ~10 years ago.

Also for $5/mo you can use Cloudflare APO to cache WordPress pages at the edge. Yes it will cache even the "dynamic" pages (unless you're logged in of course)

$5/mo is roughly my server electricity cost. The Cloudflare offer is not for me.

Hacking your spouse is not exactly fair nor is it legal. This is why you have to get yourself an experienced hacker like I did when I could not take my husband's infidelity no more. Now we are seperated due to all i found out, could not stomach it all. The hacker was so discreet, calm and collected,no leaks. Reach him via wisetechacker @gmail com Thanks
