This is one of the many viable options US companies have for dealing with EU traffic. GDPR compliance can be extremely expensive to implement, especially for complex software comprised of thousands of microservices that handle customer data. And imagine working in an industry where data retention is legally mandated by other jurisdictions... I'm not saying GDPR is bad (I'm all in favor!), but the costs can be quite l…

> GDPR compliance can be extremely expensive to implement I always find this argument a bit skewed. Yes, it is expensive if your site has more js than content and if your business model is to overtrack and overprofile your readers On the other hand a static page is GDPR compliant. Doesn't seem to be too expensive to implement.

The GDPR compliance of a static page can be debatable depending on how you interpret it, if Apache is logging accesses.

[Speculation] This is interesting to me because Crohn’s Disease (and Inflammatory Bowel Disease in general) is known to respond to certain antibiotics such as Metronidazole and Ciprofloxacin [1]. Maybe a analogous action is at play here. [1] https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/inflammatory_bowel_disease_c...

Not sure if I understood correctly. Metronidazol helps to keep inflammation at bay ? Im asking because I was taking this antibiotic and Ive seen huge change in my skin inflammation, joint pains and bowel pains.

Change for better or for worse?

This story is very poorly organized. The structure is especially bad for scientific subjects because crucial details can be obfuscated. Take this one for example, which appears well into the article: > Part of Tippens’ treatment regimen was CBD. Nowhere does the article describe in one place exactly what the treatment regimen was. Was it just CBD + fenbendazole or other components? When did the CBD begin? Even the na…

In the linked blog post, he details his regimen

    Tocotrienol and Tocopherol forms (all 8)  of Vitamin E (400-800mg per day, 7 days a week).  
        A product called Gamma E by Life Extension or Perfect E are both great.

    Bio-Available Curcumin (600mg per day, 2 pills per day 7 days a week).  
        A product called Theracurmin HP by Integrative Therapeutics is bioavailable., and

    CBD oil (1-2 droppers-ful [equal to 25mg per day] under the tongue, 7 days a week) oil

    Panacur C (fenbendazole) (1 GRAM PER DAY FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS) per week.  
        Take 4 days off and repeat each week.  
        Each gram of Panacur C has approximately 222 mg of fenbendazole,

Does this kind of action actually absolve them of GDPR responsibilities? If an EU citizen/resident/etc accessed the site from a country that’s not blocked, or via VPN, are they unable to ask for their information or have it scrubbed? What if a person later becomes an EU citizen? What if they are a dual citizen? I don’t understand how these geo blockers are able to make anyone compliant.

All the rest of our laws travel with jurisdictions, not with individuals' citizenship status. The GDPR doesn't really have any standing to impose obligations on companies that refuse to do business inside EU jurisdictions. We won't know until it's tested in court, but demonstrating a best effort to keep your product out of EU jurisdiction seems like a pretty good first defense.

Yes but logging is logging

To be very honest even if you keep the logs it is extremely unlikely just logging, even with full IPs is a "material" violation of GDPR unless your static page/file is extremely specific

(You can also expire or fully anonymize the logs before keeping them)

This might be the paper from Johns Hopkins: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2687140/

Looks like it. The hypothesis is not completely far out, the benzimidazoles interfere with microtubule assembly, and some chemotherapeutic agents in clinical practice (taxol, the vinca alcaloids) do the same.

The strange thing is that the affinity of benzimidazole anthelmintics to mammalian tubulin is much lower than to roundworm tubulins, but as we say, more research is needed.

Not to oversimplify the complexities of cancer or anything, but for some reason, Peter Hintjens’ (creator of zeromq) suspicions about the primary cause of his own cancer came to mind after reading this [1]. ”As for not getting cancer… the probable cause in my case was a parasite called a liver fluke, which attaches to the bile duct and produces carcinogens. Nature is nice like that. The parasite comes from farmed fre…

Adding this of my list of things to ask my doctor about next time I'm there. I've spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia, Central America, the Caribbean, and a smaller amount of time in Africa and India. I'll spare the details, but in addition to having already been treated for lymphoma (which I have no reason to believe was parasitic in origin), I've got various intestinal and other chronic symptoms that have no obvious cause (and aren't debilitating enough to warrant a massive array of tests). Mostly I'm just curious. I've absolutely eaten enormous amounts of questionable meat and fish, and poorly-washed produce.

But if a EU citizen has an account already they are bound to the GDPR. Blocking this account only makes it worse (legally).
