Not even political rivals. What’s stopping Biden from ordering cumbersome investigations on each of the Supreme Court justices? Especially the ones that are ducking ethics issues?
I think Biden won’t do it because he has morals and believes in democracy. There is nothing stopping Trump from doing it, since he doesn’t believe in anything other than power and self advancement.
Sorry. I didn't mean to imply a moral judgement on the issue. I was just trying to provide an example that furthers the parent's point on Amazon being very protective of their data.
Doesn’t GDPR apply to EU citizens, regardless of geography?
I know that at my place of work, I have to get consent from EU citizens to email them, even if we are talking in the US
"If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland, with respect to transfers to the U.S. of certain personal information collected in connection with your use of Samsung Smart TVs, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and its subsidiary Samsung Research America, Inc. are certified under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the European Commission and Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, respectively, regarding the transfer of certain personal information from the EEA and Switzerland to the U.S."
If you're not in the EU, the EU doesn't have jurisdiction, period. They can say whatever they want but it doesn't mean anything. I'm sure China would love to enforce their laws worldwide too, but it doesn't work that way.
Those are enforceable via extradition treaty because tax evasion is a crime in every nation in the world; if you want to extradite someone, the act in question must usually be a crime in both nations. The GDPR imposes regulations which have not parallels in other nations, so extradition is not an option. The Europeans are, however, free to arrest those who enter their nations, so it's still worth following for most people.
I would maintain that if you are experiencing poor performance for a web site, there are MUCH more fruitful places to look than DNS latency. Third party objects, excessive page sizes, lack of overall optimization based on device are just the tip of the iceberg.
For many apps I've worked the DB connection setup was always the slow part (use PgBouncer). Then, the part was the queries. DNS, gziped CSS/JS - chasing a red-herring.
