I advise companies on GDPR compliance, and art 22 is usually the least of their concerns. Why not offer a right to human review, if your algorithm is producing "legal or similarly significant effects"? If you're not 100% con

Not sure I understand. Why couldn't you just escrow the private key with a mutually trusted third party, and back the whole thing with a contract. You know - with a traditional bank, that has a contract with you, knows your identity,

Might not be especially hard to use them as collateral for a loan, though. Live like a king and then eventually sell them, repaying the loan from the (now rather generous) proceeds.

The point of undermining confidentiality of communications (in law and practice), I think, is to herd the outlaws onto things like Encrochat and An0m - meaning fewer, softer targets (with likely much worse developers and lawyers than the ma

I say this as a Frenchman: what a ridiculous statement. French meat and dairy consumption is not "perfectly fine".

Please could you clarify - what does he stand to gain here? In your Mongol analogy, motive is clear. Here, not so much.

The EU and UK GDPRs have these rules. In fact, they were in earlier data protection law as well. Even if you don't understand or can't use (to your advantage) the rule on automated decision-making, you can still insist that data

I'm sorry to say, but these plans still see routes being operated by private companies awarded multiyear contracts...

Incorrect. When talking about companies and other orgs, the GDPR's territorial scope does reach overseas, but is limited. It also doesn't turn on having citizenship of the EU/an EU country; case in point, the UK regulator (

Note that the GDPR applies to businesses established in Europe, effectively regardless of the location or nationality of users. For instance, the UK authority recognised a US resident's right to invoke GDPR, during the Cambridge Analy

Syncthing has used 0.5% of my phone's battery over the last 7 days, despite a big photo and video sync job, while instantly syncing every change I make to my KeePass database. I can't speak for other Android users, but "ever

I've been a lawyer for quite some time, and I can't recall the last time I saw this phrase used. I'm not sure I ever have.

Seems like with small wheels or furniture glides you could repurpose this as a decent planing jig, like this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YMWALHrfLT0

I looked at NUCs and settled for a used ThinkPad. Integrated keyboard, monitor, mouse and battery, and potentially even more judicious with power consumption, but oomphy enough to run image recognition on my photo collection while hosting

I went for a ThinkPad 13. Add on the dongle for an RJ45 port (about GBP10) and you're sorted!

I use this quite a lot - even my kids like taking part, on walks around the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, the app has an outdated basemap. During the lockdown I've used other apps and the in-browser editor to trace new outlines of bu

Seconded. The vast number of aliases you can create is fantastic - I'm using unique addresses for every site I register on. Given the features and storage space, Gandi webmail seems to be very good value for money.

Strictly speaking, the EU's Court of Justice was just applying the EU Data Protection Directive's rule that organizations mustn't process more personal data than necessary, for longer than is necessary. That's a freesta

Not only is it (to some extent) found in existing law, but from May 25th this year, GDPR Article 17 would like to have a word: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:O... It's not jus

Bear in mind that there are many legal grounds for collecting, using and sharing personal data under the GDPR (depending on the circumstances), and consent granularity is just one of the issues you'll face if you decide to rely on cons
