Being a leader and being a (people) manager are very, very different things. So, of course this isn't a guide on how to be a leader.

You'd need a court order to get that data from Google, but not to get the data from a seized phone. That court order might also be challenged by Google. That applies especially to non-law enforcement actors. Those can't get a cour

No. If Apple develops a new, signed, version of the security module, it can bypass the password by updating the firmware in the security module without the user's password. At least that was the case during the San Bernardino dispute.

Based on the San Bernardino case, no. It wasn't a matter of feasibility, Apple could have done it but refused to.

When nobody is compliant, the regulating authorities can pick whoever they want to prosecute, including favoring turning a blind eye towards local companies and targeting foreign companies. The GDPR is Working as Intended.

Wrong again. This isn't "logic", this is well established science. It's like gravity, you can dismiss it all you want, but if you jump out of the window, you'll still end up on the floor. And you clearly didn't

Still is. When you're trading your labor for money, you end up with more value than before. And excess value is split between you and the employer as I explained above.

The difference is that McKinsey (and other consulting firms) rely on the network of alumni to secure new projects. So those people aren't (usually) leaving to a competitor, but mostly to a current (or possibly future) client. Same with

If you would get a 40% raise if you switched companies, would you? Should execs see you as the enemy, then? There are no "sides", everyone is just maximizing their own payouts. People here don't seem to mind when profit-focus

You didn't read GDPR. Deleting isn't enough, if GDPR applies to you, you need to follow all the compliance requirements, including hiring people, providing proof of deletion if investigated, etc.

Holding the data or not is irrelevant, the tricky part is compliance. If the GDPR applies to you, you need to hire a DPO based in Europe, as well as having a EU contact that will be responsible for any fees that you incur. If you did busine

What would the regulators do? Block the service? But that is one part which is confusing to me, from the UK ICO: The GDPR applies to processing carried out by organisations operating within the EU. It also applies to organisations outside

Calais was a massive trading center during the English occupation, 1350 onward. It wasn't necessarily the port itself, but where most of the trade took place. But if you're looking at before that, then Calais was less relevant.
