Why shouldn't I dismiss you? You dismissed all the bad that's been shown since the passage of the law. If you can dismiss all the negatives, I can safely dismiss your opinions on the matter.
The shills are really out in swarms on this one. :)
Anywho, back to some real discussion.
If you can't actually comply, if it's not actually protecting privacy, and it's just annoying users and creating more bureaucracy, what good is it?
You just answered the question inside the question. The purpose was more government jobs for otherwise useless toadies. Got some worthless nephew who needs a "job" (tongue firmly in cheek), get him a position in "handling" the GDPR. He can play minesweeper all day while pretending to process GDPR complaints, and draw a sweet government check.
Yeah. I went in on a kickstarter for a Sega Genesis game (got it earlier this year), but seeing as it was in Europe, Wells Fargo put a hold on it and my card. Spent the day on the phone straightening that out.
I figure they are counting the subdomains under the sites seized. It's probably more like 1000 sites, each hosting 1000 other sites. Not the first time the gov has padded the numbers to look "good" on reviews.
From the sound of the article, it sounds like they're shooting through a skylight rather than a window. As to stability, high-speed film and a very high shutter rate. As to how much people can see - that's a crap shoot. You take a few thousand pics and hope that a handful will sell.
Not close at all. Paparazzi commonly use lenses larger than your head that allow photos from more than a mile away. All they had to be was over the house, not close to it.
A national sale tax is the best answer. Rich people buy more. Not only that, but they buy higher priced items as well. There would be no paperwork for regular people at all. Businesses already collection sales tax for local and state level in most cases, so national is easily handled.
Exclude groceries (most local and state sales taxes already exclude groceries, so again, it's not an issue to businesses), and medicines. Everything else is fair game. If poor people spend less to avoid the extra tax, good. They should be saving more of what little they have in the first place. You'd also cover any difference easily by closing damn near all taxes scams the rich go through trying to avoid paying taxes.

Uh, are there actually any of those? I certainly don't remember on any of the ballots I've had to vote on. What I generally see if more hold your nose and vote the least evil of any of the choices presented... and often, the difference in evil is slight indeed.

Thinking that competition has anything to do with safety in a commercial environment shows he has no understanding of business in general. There are tons of laws and regulations that keep transportation businesses on their toes as regards safety and maintenance. You simply cannot just drive a rolling death trap down the road packed to overflowing with passengers and claim that being the sole source of transport makes you immune to safety regulations. The guy is an idiot as well as an ass.
When contacted this evening, a spokesperson for the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner told independent.ie that "under no circumstances" could public litter be in breach of GDPR.
As with the government exemption, it actually still IS a breach, they can simply ignore it.
That "public litter" still has all that private data, and sitting in a trash can, it's still got the potential to reveal to anyone things that should be kept private, but we'll ignore that since it would be more work for us.
96% failure rate + 8 arrests means 192 innocent people were hassled by the police for no other reason that some machine claimed "they match the description of someone we're looking for".
