It's not about what you release to the public, if you're processing this data in private it's still culpable.

This page gives it some context:

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da...

Further down are the 6 reasons for processing.

We know the first 5 don't apply:

consent - there's no consent
contract - it's not necessary to provide the Q&A answer site
Legal obligation - there's no legal obligation
Vital interests - nope
Public task - nope

So what it falls under is "Legitimate interests", SO want to use a user's IP address, process it to add company name, store that and then use that data for profiling their customers to serve them ads.

One of the problems for SO is that further down they go into this a bit more and there's a few key questions:

Would individuals expect this processing to take place?
Are some of the individuals concerned likely to object?
Are you able to stop the processing at any time on request?

Which I would think would be answer No, Yes, No. Which seems to indicate that there's some problems with SO's approach.
Its about being a standard. The good thing about Emojis is they are part of Unicode and are now almost baked into everything natively. Vendors have slightly different art, but the same meaning is always conveyed. And there's a whole lot of them. It's like a international standardized pictogram language, and no surprise it became popular in Asia first. Just think about how you can already use Emojis to do some basic communication with someone on the street of Beijing or Tokyo.

I think the distinction matters because the Thinkpad line gets handled completely separately from the consumer devices, perhaps because it originally was a different company (IBM).

Lithuanians call tea as "arbata", and it's boiled in "arbatinis". It also has nothing to do with "herbs". AFAIK, there is no reference to the word tea or cha anywhere in terms of tea.
> Either I'm too old or I don't get how to use Emojis

It depends on "where" in the internet you were socialized.

Filling posts with small icons was popular since the very beginning of web forums and (propietary) instant messangers. They were not just used for expressing emotions, but also had decorative use, or sometimes were used to replace whole words.

In short, they were used simply because they were there, and looked funny. Just a creative use of what's offered.

And as far as I can see, this hasn't changed much till today.

It's just that most of these icons are now standardized so they work across multiple applications without having to transfer extra PNG files everytime an icon is used.

Why? In what world do people have to respond to unsolicited commentary?
This is great time to mention one of my favorite books on the media and public discourse: Amusing Ourselves to Death - Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, by Neil Postman. In the book, the two infamous dystopian novels of the 20th century (1984 and Brave New World) are compared to determine which one our world most closely resembles.

The two books differ in how they describe the source of the dystopia. It's been a while so please excuse any inaccuracies - in 1984 the world is controlled by authoritarian governments through fear, misinformation, and endless distractions, whereas in Brave New World the world is controlled by an authoritarian government through mind-numbing pleasure and shallow entertainment. The governments in these books both rely on citizens being reduced to their lowest common denominator. I think people during the cold war could most easily imagine, and thus be most afraid of, a world that resembled 1984. The book I mentioned in the beginning of this post argues the view that we should have actually been more worried about a world more closely resembling Brave New World.

Today we are constantly fed a mind-numbing amount (mis)information that we also simultaneously look for because it makes us feel better. Unfortunately, this media barrage also robs us of our attention and ability to critically think about important issues affecting our society. If anyone is interested in reading a book written before the age of social media (published 1985) and exploring these ideas, I highly recommend this one.
If you email is hacked, that can be used to reset the password, so it's no less secure unless another factor is required to then change your password (which most services do not). You do have a point about it potentially exposing your email password to a keylogger though.

However, you also need to consider how most people use passwords. Often they have the same password (or very similar password) for many services. Other people essentially use the password recovery flow as their login mechanism. This is more secure and usable than that.

Many services now allow password reset by email (magic link), Cierge's approach just does away with the illusion of security employed by such services. Outsourcing authentication to email, as many services do with Google/Facebook/Github accounts.

The Cierge login approach would obviously be inadvisable for protecting something of importance, like your email account.

Subway is a franchise. Costco can spread the loss of the 1.50 hot dog over membership fees, and marginal markup of products from across the country. A Seattle Subway franchise can not, as they are not charging a membership fee nor do they have other business areas that they can spread the cost over.

Oversimplification and False Analogy.
my tl;dr .... The author told us to do three things:

1 - Evaluate your good/bad actions, morning and evening. Makes you act according to your "standard" more.

2- Practice feeling bad about people in difficult situations. Makes you automatically have those feelings without practice (more empathetic).

3 - Blame something external for your boredom/listlessness. Makes you cope with it better.

Last one seemed a bit odd tbh.

It would be nice of there was a limit on how many articles from same domain can be posted on HN. Nytimes articles in my humble opinion are listed here too often. Or a rule that you cannot post paywalled content. It's becoming quite frustrating when you click a nytimes link.

Sure thing, reading through the repo I understood it was used to learn stuff. But it may not be immediately understood by a novice. And thing with the Internet is: people will start using code from your repo and get into all sorts of issues. It's unlikely you'll smooth this code up. Nobody's got the time, let's be honest here. ;) So I'd recommend that you at least state explicitly that these functions shouldn't be lifted directly unless someone knows what he/she is doing.

I see, thanks for the info. Comma setting in English is rather unexpected for me. It works different in German, but I'll try to adapt. Maybe in English you would also say "end-to-end encryption" rather than "end to end encryption", is that correct?
> Once your email is hacked, you will be globally owned.

This is also true for 99% of online services that have a "forgot password" function that uses your email address. If your site is in the 1% that needs stronger security, then don't use this.

> You’ll also need to logon to your email to access whatever site which means whatever keylogger is installed on whatever computer you use in some public place will also be a threat.

Valid point, but it's an edge case that's not applicable to most people. The most common use for using a public computer is probably checking email. Even that happens less these days, which people just using their phones + public WiFi instead.

Password recovery through email is ubiquitous. So password is in no way a second authentication method to your email. That said, email is an identity, not a secret. But for the most part I'd rather protect my identity alone than my identity AND my secret.

You've made a great point here.

What criminal is also going to carry their incriminating data with them? This isn't an effective policy. What problem does it actually solve?
The problem description doesn’t specify “planar”, and K4 has degree 3 for each of its four vertices, but (obviously) requires 4 colors (and K5 has maximum degree 4, but requires 5 colors, etc.)

Also, K3, K2 and K1 are planar with maximum degree 2, 1, respectively 0, but require 3, 2, 1 colors.

So, in general, D colors isn’t sufficient.

How would they work if they didn't?
As the saying goes, I don't have "anything to hide", and kind of don't care being searched.

However I would never give my password to anyone. As a matter of principle, giving out your password is like betraying yourself.

Granted, I've never been asked, so I'm not sure what amount of pressure / threats I can withstand. I hope it's a lot, because asking someone for his password is insane and despicable.
I am not a security expert, so I started looking for solution which I know from my personal experience: If we add additional complexity like MFA/2FA this problem seems to be mitigated.

It would be great if someone with more knowledge in this field could provide a better solution for this issue.

Edit: Also you could reset password on your e-mail account if was breached.

Edit 2: There are also push notifications sent on mobile apps which acts like boolean type to accept or deny logon process.

Edit 3: If MITM is also laid down in discussion about possible threats then I think end-to-end encryption may help.

Edit 4: Banks usually use "Fill 3, 4, 15, 22.. character from your [placeholder: password, auth card]" method to get rid of key-loggers on clients PCs.

This. Try to see the good parts of things.

Someone is cursing you about your work? First, that's just words on a screen so you can close it to not see it. Two, this person bought your production so hey! your bank account feels better.

Sometime it is negative but I think the best works are those who you either love or hate. Not the bland ones.

Google executives stopped employees discussing diversity and hiring
Until the late 90s, we lived on IRC, newsgroups, and email lists. Just plain text, probably with monospace fonts as well. The web and instant messaging caught on later.

I, too, think most emoji are just a picture, and I don't get what feeling or message most of them are supposed to convey. Certainly I don't find them useful to replace a word I can type in 0.4 seconds. Is it really useful to include a picture of a basketball on a message already obviously about basketball?

Still, I try to get on with the times and sprinkle them in my WhatsApp messages sometimes.

Eh yeah, that's because there are other words for money.
An Economist thinks about resources, their (perceived) value, and less about cash. It's because cash somehow ends up representing those points.

That doesn't mean an Economist 'thinks/talks less about money'.

Not sure if it's the same client, but the Skye for Business client is also just as bad.

I used to work on a virtualised Windows machine (work mandated) and the only usable accessibility option was a high DPI setting. The old Lync client worked perfectly with this, obviously dating back to an age where they cared about accessibility. Skype for business completely ignored system DPI settings, made certain things huge with other things being tiny.

The spacing was the biggest issue - literally 30-40% of my 43" monitor would often be taken up by spacing around icons etc on the app.

It really felt as though they just stopped putting as much effort into UX, accessibility, usability. Lync felt like a professional IM client, Skype for Business felt like a half baked bodge.

Right, but the situation was very different prior to and during the primaries. Only once he became the nominee and (especially) president did Republican's start to come round. As, I'm sure, most of the Democrat's asking Oprah not to run would do so if she won the nomination.

My point is, if popularity 2+ years before the election was any guide, then we would probably be talking about how weird it is to have a third President Bush right now (I still remember headlines from 2016 about "Bush surges to 2016 GOP frontrunner"). A year later and Jeb was an embarrassing fizzle.
