Reading these comments, I'm really surprised this is what the situation in the US is like.

I know like who made the abbreviation for pounds lbs. it makes no sense!
Comes from the Roman scale of measurement called Libra (literally 'scales').

Hybrid of both systems when? I like using Meters and Grams as a measuring unit for height/weight, etc but fuck measuring car power by Wattage lmao Horsepower all the way.
There's countries not using horsepower? Literally everything is metric here and horsepower is used exclusively.

I always thought beholden to meant that it's "due to" something else. And the other two are good, but a bit strong. I don't want to say that the data protection standards in this field necessarily have to be stronger / higher the other piece of legislation. They just can't be worse than them.

i thought about undermine, but i don't think it works well in this context
I was assuming (without further context other than the OP) that he doesn't want the bar to be set below the normal standard, so undermine works.
That is, somehow accidentally having a higher bar set above standard is not ideal in this scenario and so you need a word that means "not to go high or low".
...perhaps  ?
I might be wrong, but (to me at least), "undermine" makes it seem like it actually hurts or affects the thing it's undermining, which is why I abandoned "undercut". The utmost general rules already apply in all of Europe, but this deals with two simultaneously introduced pieces of legislation. One is on general data protection, the other on a specific sector. The idea is that the specific sector shouldn't go below what is introduced by the general regulation.
Undermine doesn't have to directly mean "to damage" within the sentence, it just means "to go below", which if a standard of data protection was lower than the other... it's going below.
Am I missing something here? Even if the lower standard is still exemplary, it's still undermining the safeguards of some instrument that has a higher standard.
Are you sure? I just checked dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, Merriam Webster and the Cambridge/Oxford Dictionary, and all of them say it basically either means to physically undermine (as in to dig a tunnel below) or to weaken / make less effective / damage / impair / subvert something else. I'm not seeing anything that suggests it just means "not be as good as" or "isn't at the same level as".
I've used it in reports in the way I've described and never called out on it. Then again, I do Geology so that may throw a bit of bias in there.
You may be right, I've just never seen it used that way. Either way, it's a bit too ambiguous then. Don't want to send the wrong signal by using a word that could be interpreted the wrong way.

It's all about sentence flow now.
I'd rather shorten the opening with deviate as you still have a bit to say afterwards within the sentence
Allahso, "deviate" seems to be a word more in lieu with data collection.. Although I have no idea what this paper is in a broader context
It's a privacy-oriented review of the upcoming European data protection reforms which consists out of two pieces of legislation. On the one hand, you have the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which covers data processing for general purposes and in commercial sectors. On the other, there exists the Data Protection Directive for Police and Criminal Justice which regulates data processing by law enforcement, judicial authorities and international exchange of said information. The point this sentence is trying to make is that the level of protection enshrined in the Directive shouldn't go below that guaranteed by the safeguards in the Regulation.

Ye use deviate unless you wanna rephrase the sentence
Yeah, it's one of the best ones. So far, it's down to "is consistent with" (Verb) and "does not deviate from" (Jocephalopod). Both are really good and far better than "does not go below".

DOES NOT INFRINGE
Lol, missed opportunity here Das. "..it is often deemed necessary for data processing in this field to be covered by a high level of data protection that SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED by the safeguards found in general data protection instruments and..."

« on: May 09, 2016, 01:22:41 PM »
that does not fall under
That gives too much of an idea that the point is that it's somehow not covered by the general regulation.

I am seeing a urologist tomorrow afternoon. If he says I need a few months to heal and even an operation, I will quit graduate school that starts on May 31st. I haven't put in my final decision yet. If he says I will be fine, then I'll still go. My penis is more important than graduate school, I've only had sex once, so need to make sure it is fine to eventually do it again. I can work a shitty retail job for another year, I don't care.
Why are the two mutually exclusive? It's a brief and small cut that is leagues below, for example, a full circumcision. You won't be hospitalised for extended periods of time or need months of bed-ridden recovery. You probably won't even need to stay longer than a single afternoon and I'm sure the recovery won't be too bad. Sitting around all day doing nothing isn't going to make your dick any better or heal any faster.

...a high level of data protection that meets or exceeds the safeguards found in
I'm liking that one too.

« on: May 09, 2016, 12:58:21 PM »
if you want to deviate from the "does not" phrasing, you have quite a few options
"abides by"
"complies with"
"adheres to"
All good, but (to me) they sound like you're portraying the general regulation as some overarching or higher instrument that the other one has to abide by / comply with / follow, while they're supposed to be equally important and equally high in the hiearachy. The one just can't go below the other one.

...it is often deemed necessary for data processing in this field to be covered by a high level of data protection that disallows diving below the safeguards found in general data protection instruments and prohibits the departure from fundamental principles without proper and adequate justification(125).
The bold part, please. I'm bored in class and can't be bothered to put in the thought myself. Whoever comes up with the best phrasing gets to be my best friend for the rest of the week.
I probably did it wrong
Not really, that's actually pretty close. But the point I'm trying to convey is not that the level of data protection disallows (or suggests, imposes, prohibits) something to another actor or entitity. It's the level of data protection itself that can't be allowed to go below the safeguards in the GDPR.

does not cut back on
Hmm. "Does not undercut"? Cut back from makes it sound like it regresses from what already exists.

Fall below and dip below are both pretty good so far.

I don't want to defend melodrama but I'm very protective of my penis and if any injury occurred to it
that it would be scarred, I would also think it's the end of the world.
Go see a urologist. A torn frenulum will likely heal on its own yet be weaker for the future. If it keeps tearing, you can get a frenuloplasty to remove it. Never had it myself, thankfully, but I doubt it's the disaster you're making it out to be. True, but he simply sounds irrational at this point. It's apparently a relatively common injury that either heals on its own or can easily be corrected. I'd be very worried myself, but just go see a urologist as soon as possible and not think the world is coming to an end and that I'll never have sex again.

Does not go below as in not covered by the safe guards or?
As in going below / offering lower safeguards than the General Data Protection Regulation.

Tfw killed the Dragon using Jewish tactics and received a certain something that made the game a walk in the park.
Yeah, you keep thinking that.
Oh? Just got through the Capra Demon on my 3rd try.. And that moth thing... As well as the gargoyles and that other fatboi on the castle wall
How long is this game?
You haven't even killed one fifth of all the bosses in the game. Good luck with your certain something!
I'm guessing there's no weapon scaling system....
Either way i'm phasing in an upgraded claymore and pyromancy for mah shid
Nah, Dark Souls has a great weapon scaling system. You should have a look at the weapon information on the ones you have. Press the back button for more information on each number and symbol. Your weapon is pretty unique in that sense.

To everyone who thinks I'm making it up, I can post pictures. My foreskin literally got detached from my penis. It was the worst pain in my life and don't know if it will ever be the same. It's scarred. And all you can do is make fun of me instead of trying to help.

SO DON'T RISK YOUR CHILD'S LIFE OVER THE LOOK OF HIS PENIS.
a'kjf'K'Pds';ola;ao
Usually it was the bitchy popular ones, but we all know they were the shallow ones that no would should give two fucks about, but yeah.
>.>
ehhhhhhh ehhhhhh ehhhhhhhhh
You're right.
If that's what you're concerned about, you shouldn't forget how quickly this is changing in the US. In the 70's,a large majority of males were circumcised at birth. In the 80's, this number started to fall and stayed relatively stable for the next decade. Then, in the second half of the 90's and the 2000's, this plummeted further so that now only around 54% of all male newborns are circumcised in the US according to the CDC. In urban areas and especially the Western states, that number drops to 40%. The more advanced science and medicine becomes and the better public education and sex ed gets, the more people decide against circumcising their children. If the trend continues the way it has for the past decade, it's almost a given that not circumcising will be the norm by the time your (hypothetical) child becomes sexually active. Even in a country like the US where an uncircumcised penis used to be an oddity mocked by the shallow girls you're talking about, only half of all male newborns are being circumcised today and it's estimated that this number will continue to fall in the years to come.
