Just to clarify, there's a difference between a Terms of Service and a Privacy Policy [1]:

- A Privacy Policy describes the types of data you collect, how you collect it, and what you do with it.

- A Terms of Service acts as a contract between you and the user that indicates the requirements, limitations, and standards involved in using your website / app.

GDPR impacts Privacy Policies more than it does Terms of Service agreements. Over at TermsFeed, we're looking to see if GDPR impacts other agreements such as the Terms of Service or EULA or a Disclaimer, but so far GDPR is really about privacy practices and Privacy Policies.

I've recently started experimenting with building a PWA, and for others as allergic to JavaScript as me, I can heartily recommend Elm, and especially https://github.com/halfzebra/create-elm-app as a project bootstrapping tool. Per its "Users Guide" at https://github.com/halfzebra/create-elm-app/blob/master/temp...:

"By default, the production build is a fully functional, offline-first Progressive Web App."

For building a UI, you could do worse than starting with one of the following:

- http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/debois/elm-mdl/latest

- http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/rundis/elm-bootstrap/la...

- http://elm-ui.info/

OK: got more kids than fingers, and no amputations yet!

You may be dealing with toxic friends, failed perfectionism (can't meet a possibly self-imposed standard so just give up entirely), social rejection due to cluelessness, depression, an inability to picture a future self and work toward satisfying the needs of that future self...

The kid has also had 15 years to learn how to manipulate you.

Give it your best shot, but be prepared to let go. Besides the possibilities of "not your fault" and "you were awful", there is the "ordinary imperfection". At some point, sooner or later, you have to kick them out the door and hope they manage.
The easiest approach is to just ask the rep to install Teamviewer, it will help make the process much less opaque.

Kreuzberg is different. It’s a traditionally leftist district. Every May Day there are clashes with police. At least when I lived there. It may eventually change but the people there are not as money focused. They are more culture focused in the sense of wanting local business over large corporations. Most people there are not going to love the accompanying jobs. Some jobs aren’t worth the cost. Some are.

> Seems like the easiest fix would be to mandate the same charging cable for all phones (no dongles) and user replaceable batteries that require no tools to change.

We are not heading towards that direction. Newer phones don't have removable batteries, as it's not a good business strategy. You are not supposed to keep a phone for many years either, because planned obsolescence is a desired thing from the perspective of these companies.

I remember people telling Logitech that their mice were still functional after 12 years, and they admitted it was a mistake on their part, and if you consider it from their perspective, it truly is.

The Latin is somewhat awkward:

> Mea navis volitans anguillis plena est

This is technically correct, but `anguillis` generally should be in the genitive case "anguillarum" for classical Latin - that is, "full 'of' eels", instead of the ablative which is used here, "full 'by means of/with respect to' eels".

> Navis volitans mihi anguillis plena est

The same criticism for `anguillis` applies here. Also, the usage of the dative of possession (mihi) is non-standard because it is usually reserved when you want to emphasize that a person has possession: "nomen mihi est Bob" -- "my name is Bob". The fact that I have a hovercraft isn't really the focus of the sentence - the fact that it is full of eels is far more interesting. It's not technically wrong, but I don't think any Roman would translate this sentence this way.

Speaking of Estonia, I was at their embassy in Stockholm last fall and they were pushing hard for Tallinn as the next European capital of tech. Nearly every conversation you had with them, regardless of topic, would somehow gravitate toward how great Estonia is to set up a tech shop. Whether because of cheap real estate or the quality of their work force, or the prevalence of craft beer – it was all just a great place to be.

Frankly I kind of bought it. I'm going to visit this summer.

Also mandate upgradable software. I feel that outdated software becomes an issue way before dead batteries for most phones on the market. Most vendors don't seem to care much about software upgrades, especially on the lower end, and not all devices are supported by LineageOS / postmarketOS and co. I'm not even talking about (ok, technically, I am) how hard and scary it is to install alternative firmware on smartphones: unsupported rooting process that can brick your device, loss of your data while rooting, unsigned binaries distributed by unknown third-parties, broken warranty by using unsupported firmware… Vendors should be forced to sell either hardware that can be used with third-party software, or harware and software that is guaranteed to be updated for more than “up until the next shinny new device is out”.

How to Set Video Wallpaper in Windows 10 Using Plastuer
So it looks like someone somewhere made up numbers of played tracks, which were then passed on through the system as gospel

And ... I am not sure now what. There is a online radio station thing (tidal) that has dishonest numbers.

But why would you trust those numbers outside of tidal unless you had some independnat verification ?

Is there any such independnat verification of say Apple store downloads ?

If not how do we solve both problems?

Most people in free software don't regard compensation as their primary motivator to work.

As soon as you have enough money for your purposes, it's incredibly freeing to do things that satisfy your actual motivations.

I don't feel it's my philosophy - what I'm trying to point out is that the default state of everyone is that of not being coordinated - and this applies to everything, from environmental concerns through market decisions to voting itself. In general, you can't talk people into sacrificing individual, certain benefits for uncertain, group benefits. If you have a problem that needs such sacrifice from everyone, you need a stronger mechanism for realigning incentives.

RE voting, all I'm saying is that - yes, the effects of an election are huge, but the marginal influence of an individual vote on the outcome is near-zero. Note that people don't go voting "by default", you need to either encourage them (by e.g. persuading them that it's their civil duty), or force them.
Just some context:

DN is a financial newspaper in Norway, pretty important and trusted, if slanted towards "business" points of view.

NTNU is the second biggest university in Norway, focuses on science, and is well-regarded.

DN somehow aquired some files that purports to be logs of songs played in Tidal. The numbers in those logs seems to match up with other reported numbers, but Tidal denies the logs are genuine.

Researchers at NTNU analyzed the logs, and found that if they are genuine, then data was manipulated to boost play numbers for Kanye West's and and Beyonce's albums.

If you take a closer look at Spain during the Franco regime, you realize that you may have had hierarchy, but 'order' was up to arbitrariness of local magistrates and you had your right to property protected, except you were communist or anarchist or social democrat or catalan/basque nationalist or (...). Up until the 70ies children were take away from suspected communist or anachrists and given to 'proper' families, all withe help of the church and the military. Is that really 'order' or a society you would want to live in?

If both sides were to use Duplex, it would already know to just send 1010 instead of verbal communications.

Also if it was unknown whether the opposing person was a bot, a bot could firstly send a common test according to some protocol to ask if the other one was bot by some kind of sound representing that. In which case both would start sending machine readable information to each-other.

And we went from SOAP to REST because REST with JSON was supposedly simpler.

Then they realized that they needed some type of way to validate the JSON so they introduced JSON schema.

Then they realized that they needed some method to make a REST Api discoverable so they added the Swagger protocol (OpenAI). Now we are right back to being as complicated as SOAP.

I always had this inkling, so since early on, despite the hype and 'attractive' prices, I have bought nothing but books. In fact, I can't see myself buying anything but books online, from any vendor and not just Amazon.

Even with books, especially technical books, I have fallen to the trap of unwittingly buying Indian version of the book (I am an Indian living in India) where chapters are culled, contents are 'adapted', preface and other such items are missing etc. But this could be my fault as I failed to read the fine print, which does exist.

(It enrages me that Indians are forced to use substandard versions of internationally acclaimed books for their reference. I am fine with using gray scale instead of 32M color images, or using thinner paper, smaller fonts etc but altering content, skipping content etc is bad. I am sure there is an economic constraint behind this - Indian versions are usually 1/5th to 1/8th the international price - and often think why don't they use substandard presentation instead of substandard content, but what do I know.

Many times, I buy older version of a book which will be far cheaper, and in 'Indian price range', than the freshly minted, latest and up to date version, especially when it deals with 'static' topics like maths, physics, linguistics etc because I have come to realize that the book companies whip out newer versions with negligible changes just to keep their business running, especially when its supposed to be a text book.)
Tangential: Google's recently released Duplex claims to mimic natural conversation, yet there is not a single translation service that does not sound like a village idiot.

Is translation so much harder, or simply not a priority, or are all the claims about neural networks and language processing exaggerated?

Much of the distraction started with the mobile smart phone. Prior to 2007, although you could get addicted to desktop activities, most people out and about were not constantly glued to a shitty feature phone screen.

I wonder how many of the people claiming this is a PR stunt by Google will say the same thing when Apple introduces their version. Apple also benefits from addiction to their devices, even if they don’t run the addictive mobile services (exception iMessage) that create the constant demand to use them.

I view showing people where their time is spent as the same as showing them calories consumed. Whether for PR or not, it is useful information to have.

Oh you absolutely have to play through the first two Fallout games, with appropriate restoration/community patches in place, of course.

They are milestones in CRPG storytelling, visual style, gameplay design and dark humor.

And if you want another game that follows in the same footsteps, give Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura a try. It's set in a fantasy world undergoing an industrial revolution, with all the friction between magic and tech that would result in. Like with FO1 and FO2, there are community patches to tweak the gameplay balance a bit (especially the one to boost firearms a bit, otherwise they're a bit weak compared to spells).

You would have been right if not for the important keyword "on-device". The PIN does not risk being exposed by server breaches, because it's never on the server. Yes, it can be extracted via clever con artistry, but that's true for _any_ "something you know" factor including conventional passwords. The whole point of multiple factors is that they have _different_ sets of weaknesses.

Also: unlike a shared secret like a password you share _everywhere_ (and let's face it, most people do), an on-device PIN can be changed in a single place should it ever be compromised.
