Bullshit. Sometimes regulators want to shut down your company. Bureaucrats are not immune from politics.

How do you keep track of what info needs to be deleted on restore without violating GDPR?

Well then, you’ve never been the target of a lawsuit. Forgive me if it doesn’t make me comfortable that the decision whether to file a lawsuit against me or not is left to some often uneducated and inexperienced regulators.

Complying with the majority of the law isn’t good enough when you can be sued for not complying with a small part of the law. It’s like complying with 99% of securities laws and forgetting to comply with the insider trading laws. That’s no

I’m not confident in anything I’ve written ever to have it picked apart by a team of expert witness programmers. Maybe that means I have no business working at a startup. Maybe we should think about the implications of that.

Great, so now we get to spend money on lawyers and time in the courts to decide what information falls under “OK to keep for a good reason”

Absolutely. It just isn’t easy.

Again, I was in my early 20s and fresh out of college. I had no idea what I was doing. It’s not that I was trying to cut ethical corners or do things poorly, I just didn’t know what the right way to do things was. Computer science educat

It’s only a strawman if you assume that everybody knows the right way to do everything. There was nobody around when I did my start up to tell me how to do all of this stuff.

Honestly? During the first year of our start up, I didn’t have time to understand all of that stuff so I just put a checkmark on the sign up that users were over the age of 13, and moved on.

I’ve been reading hacker news for about a decade, and it’s getting to the point where I don’t think there are many entrepreneurs and/or technical people on here anymore. The number of people who are saying it’s no big deal to comply w

Yes, there is, but it's not worth my time. I'm invested in crypto, so if I win, I win.

On the contrary, we are about to start the second wave of things. The next wave will be an order of magnitude larger than the last, and this will continue until Bitcoin and blockchain has disrupted the vast majority of current industries.

SF should be ashamed of the way they treat the poor and middle class.

No, my position is that supporters are naive and uninformed, not dumb.

Great, and I'll be the first person arguing against FDA regulation of dietary supplements. How many people die every year from dietary supplements? Not many. It's not the governments job to regulate quality. The free market is do

Lasik eye surgery. Veterinary care. Cell phone service (as opposed to landlines). Consumer electronics. Computer software. I can already hear your objections..."But there's some regulation in all of those!" Yes, but it&#x2

Hacker News is so full of pedants that I can't use a word without hedging. Ok, "virutally unregulated compared to human health care". That's what I meant.

I don't believe that anyone here, without looking it up, could explain what exactly "net neutrality" means, without falling back on talking points and vague aspirational language, rather than what actually is written in the r

First of all, the government has its hands in almost everything, so any list small enough to fit into a hacker news comment is necessarily going to be "cherry picked". I'm not one of those people who thinks we don't need

There’s a genius way to lower housing prices. Why didn’t anyone think of this before?

I don't buy this for a second. I'm suggesting that she moves so that she won't be homeless. If she were to move, she wouldn't need a dense concentration of microwaves and bathrooms. She doesn't work, so opportunitie

What social safety net? She’s homeless. Whatever social safety net existed has either been exhausted or is no longer present.

I’m open to hearing about what special situations she has that has made it impossible to pursue the obvious options. Those things should’ve been included in the article, but they were not. In the absence of such details, the article is basi

Why does literally every other comment keep assuming that she has to commute? The story says that she makes $1300 a month from disability and doesn’t have a job. Why does she need to drive three hours a day?
