If you don't target EU customers and you don't have an EU presence, sure. Other businesses who want to be GDPR compliant might not be able to use your service either.

Adding a backdoor seems unreasonable but they may have chosen performance over security. Even if this individual bug wasn't intentional they are responsible for setting their priorities.

If you get bags for change (like shops use) and split everything by denomination and amount it makes it a little easier.

I've never heard of any airline overbooking here in Europe. Yet they seem to manage just fine. In fact Ryanair (a budget airline) has a bunch of flights advertised for around €15 ($16~ USD)...

Small businesses don't need to build complex systems to respect the law. If someone wants their data they can ask for it by email. The business can then manually gather the data from their databases and send it as a ZIP, PDF or whateve

Basic income would only cover essentials such as shelter and food. While some people would choose to work because they enjoy their jobs, many would work to be able to buy a nice car, dishwasher, TV and other non-essentials. Unpleasant jobs

Yeah, obviously they need to avoid conflicts but surely they could have found a single character to use as a prefix instead of "--", like "$" or "@". The "var()" function is just.. redundant. Or maybe
