Yes it does. Indeed it also does mean the GDPR kicks in (on the 25th)

All you need to be able to do though is say what you're using the information for. If that is "To allow you to log in to your account" and "Your IP and page requests are logged and kept for 2 weeks to for traffic analysis and troubleshooting" you're good to go - just say that on the sign-up form[1]. If you want add the email address to a mail list too you need to add an opt-in consent checkbox and a bit more information on what the checkbox agrees to.

If you want to pass along the information (indirectly, I know) to Google Analytics for example then you have to mention that too, and don't load the GA snippets until the user has accepted that

You also need a way to tell a user what data you have on them and delete the data where appropriate if the user requests it. You do not need to automate this process, chances are you'll never get either of those requests. Do Things That Don't Scale[2] applies when it comes to the user's ability to request info/deletion

It's just another cost of doing business like if you want to take card payments don't store the card number without getting PCI compliant. Don't store user info without getting GDPR compliant.

This whole thing is good for all of us as users of sites and software too

[1] Actually for a signup form you don't need to say you're using the information to sign them in, that's "unambiguous consent", as long as you're not doing anything but registering them and signing them in you can avoid clogging up your form with that information

This TED talk [1] about seeing how the rest of the world lives was very insightful for me.

When sorting by income level, you can spot globalized trends by income regardless of nationality.

> If the processor has the legal option to oblige the provider to publish additional information which can identify the user who is behind the IP address, this is also personal data.

https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/personal-data/
> Provides a very simple mechanism for a single host or interface, to be able to run 2^64 virtual machines, with their own global IPv6 address

It's not uncommon to have multiple layers of virtualization (e.g. lxc/docker running inside qemu/kvm). You'd need top-level hypervisor to passthrough (bridge?) nested VMs requests back to the router, but then you don't have same level of isolation.

Configurable prefix length when nesting (/64 at first level, /80 at 2nd, /96 at 3rd if needed) and automated NDP proxying could solve it, though.
That comparison only really holds if you ignore the stators, which the rotors are reacting against.

It’s a fine way to get started; sure. You probably need ssh anyway and getting forwarding up for free is neat. It also had the historical advantage of existing; wireguard is new. Perf is sometimes not great, but at least you’re likely to get better crypto than most default OpenVPN installations I’ve seen. But it’s not a great long-term solution; whereas wireguard will last you for a long time :-)
Sounds like a reasonable thing for any manufacturer to do if your supply pipeline is prone to large-scale theft and your goal is to deter further incidents. The best option obviously is to fix the pipeline, but that takes time and not always doable in practical terms.

Caveat emptor. Buying from a 3rd party and presumably at a deep discount always carries a risk of goods being stolen.

You do realize that the universal basic income is the exact opposite of what you describe? The "universal" part means that you get money without any requirements, without any forms to fill out (except to prove once that you exist and have a bank account, I guess), without any rules.

Not sure many people would think that "Ruby is the only language", and not sure what's your point there. From my impression, if somebody can decently do backend work with Ruby, then they're probably a better programmer than some JS-only newcomer. Is Ruby already becoming the new PHP? Don't think it's time yet, and Ruby despite its many drawbacks is still generally much better. Not to mention Node seems to be all the rage in recent years and Ruby isn't even that "popular" anymore. Though indeed I personally always had doubts about Ruby. I haven't touched Ruby ever since I started programming projects in Elixir, which I like much more.

That's not how peering works, economically. When Netflix's ISP sends a movie to my ISP, is my ISP doing Netflix a favor? No, it's doing me a favor, or both of us a favor. So who should pay? Backbones who aren't either of our ISPs complicate it further.

ISP should be able to charge a fair price for providing connectivity across their networks, but it's not at all obvious what a fair price is, because it's not clear how expensive each packet delivery is and whose packet it is. That's why capitalists/right-wingers say "free market sort it out" and socialists/left-wingers say "government should decide rules about what's fair".
In the same vein though, the Windows team added in an Eye Control accessibility option [0] allowing users to control the OS with just their eyes. So the answer here would just be that the teams are so large that they can make phenomenal decisions and also plenty of bad ones.

Is this really that different from blocking stolen mobile phones from connecting to mobile networks via their IMEI number?

The database behind that is apparently shared internationally between mobile networks, and most people would find a phone unable to connect to anything but WiFi useless.
I would think that the people who would want to bulk identify people at certain events wouldn't consider tracked journalists to be false positives.
Everything only has value that people assign it. I think paying some thousands of dollars for a handbag that has a certain label, or paying $1000 for a phone with a certain label, or so on is completely irrational. But in a market economy, I don't get to decide - the market does. And there's no irony using dollars in that example, as once again they face the same problem. The value of a dollar changes quite regularly against other currencies and it's just a market supply:demand reaction. Should the petrodollar end, I'd expect to see the dollar plummet globally. Great for our exports if our economy doesn't go down alongside the dollar!

51% attacks in Bitcoin are not a real risk for two reasons. The first is that it'd be completely illogical. If there were a group of miners able to work together to generate the resources sufficient to obtain a 51% attack on a major coin, they'd already be printing massive amounts of money completely legitimately. If they started trying to use that to do things like double spend, that'd ruin all of this because of the second point.

Bitcoin is decentralized. And if one branch becomes broken because of something like a 51% attack, it is trivial to fork it and go. Bitcoin Cash being the obvious example of this, and that was over something that lacked a unanimous consensus - nobody is going to want to stay on a fork that's been compromised.
>... Sunstein’s idea is that we who know better should manipulate the choice architecture so that those who are less likely to perceive what is good for them can be induced to choose the options that we have decided are in their best interest. Thaler and Sunstein talk sometimes of “asymmetric paternalism.”

That just sounds like the parent class of "we should convert all these barbarians to Christianity and get rid of most of their culture in the process for their own good so they don't burn in hell."

> This sort of well-intentioned, but one-size-fits-all sort of hidden regulation is exactly what concerns me about any government income program... they can't make the rules too clear because if they did, clever people would have an easier time taking advantage.

That problem seems to be an aspect of the broader problem with conditional government income programs that unconditional basic income is aimed right at the heart of.

It's very hard to game a rule of, e.g., ”If you are a citizen or lawful permanent resident, you get exactly $X/month” doesn't have a lot of room for manipulation, despite being quite clear.

As much as I dislike the rest of their business, I have to give credit to Comcast for assigning up to a /60 if the router requests it. Of course a /56 would be better, but 16 networks should be good enough for any home network, right? <g>
NewPipe is brilliant! I don't even care so much about the ads(still HATE ads), but the interface is superior in almost every way. The YouTube app, as with all of Google's clunky Android apps, takes several seconds to load, is slow, cluttered, and annoys me with notifications for "trending" videos. It's the second worst Google app to Maps, which is embarrassingly slow and gets worse with every update.

NewPipe, on the other hand, has a low memory footprint, boots up immediately, has a clean interface, doesn't remove features, lets me queue up videos in the background, lets me choose audio-only, etc. The only thing it's missing is Chromecast, but then again I haven't updated NewPipe in a while, and Chromecast kinda blows anyway.

I'd say Google should just discontinue the YouTube app and use the NewPipe codebase, but I won't say that because I know they'd destroy it.

NewPipe literally blows people's minds when I show it to them. They can't grasp how there can be another app for YouTube that's better. Sadly, these people are too afraid to use F-Droid, even though the Play Store has its share of malicious software.

The Chinese are rounding up Muslims by the thousand and re-training them out of their culture. Do you want people behind desks thousands of miles away from you manipulating your culture with computer aids? My data is mine, not the fodder for a corporation.

The U.S. is about freedom. Want to create your own cult? Sure, find some land and do it. But I don't want to be involved in efforts to command-side my life. I don't trust google's corporate values for driving my life. I don't trust advertisers and election-riggers using psychological monitoring to influence consumption and voting choices. They haven't demonstrated they have our best interests in mind - or that they can be disentangled from evil foreign powers.

This video talks about synthesizing objects of desire based on intimate details of peoples' lives, throughout their lives. Then anticipating the decisions they make throughout their life. I don't want a server room full of computers figuring out how to make me comply with google's corporate values.

This video even admits explicitly that "the notion of a global good is is problematic," so it weasels to creating optimal health. In fact, the keys to optimal health are already widely-known: eating well and getting exercise. Society's problem is that we have overwhelming advertising influences using scientific techniques to push us away from what we already know. We need distance from this asymmetric power relationship, not deep learning to enhance it.

> if anything home ISP's need a slap on the wrist for their stingy DHCPv6 delegations of what basically amount to a SINGLE ipv6 address or some weird less-than /64. splitting a 56 is a better idea here.

This is the single most infuriating issue with IPv6 rollout in the US. CenturyLink is starting to roll out native IPv6 support (instead of 6rd which they've been using for years), the only issue is you get a single /64. I mean, I have no use for giving every single host a /64, but I've got five or six VLAN's and without at least a /56 I've got no way of actually deploying IPv6 on my network. By the way, this is a business DSL connection too - so it's not like they shouldn't expect something more than your typical flat home network where everything sits on a single broadcast domain.
Essentially yes, except my TV can't be controlled without the remote. It's more like your car's unlock button doesn't work, but you still have the key.
Yeah, the burden is on the buyer not to purchase stolen goods. The manufacturer is certainly under no obligation to support them. In many states even unknowing possession of stolen goods is a crime, so many of the "users" here are in fact getting off lightly.
