Thumbs up for making the web more accessible! I was fortunate to work on a project with a WCAG AA requirement for the last 1.5 years, so I can only imagine how overwhelming is must be for people outside this area to make their sites accessible.

> MAWD is designed to pick up 100% of the issues with a site, but she needs your help to do it.

> 4 WCAG criteria fully tested. 22 different tests

There are 4 WCAG principles with 12-13 guidlines, each having at least one success criteria. There are about 60 success criteria, so 22 different tests are far from 100%. I've also encountered many subjective decisions and screen reader quirks. It's probably much better than fully-automated tools (like pa11y or axe), but it still takes a lot of experience to find and fix all accessibility issues. I suggest lowering the "100%" claim.
This gold in the day would have made you one of the richest persons around.

But today that gold is worth only about $50k (300 coins * 5 grams) The millions of dollars quoted are the historical artefact value.
I tried using Alipay with foreign card a year ago and it didn't work. I had to get a Chinese phone number and Chinese bank debit card to start using Alipay (this proved to be possible even on tourist visa, but only because of a friend who lives there, let me use their address and helped me with the whole process).
Hopefully it's changed by now!
Londoner here -- I see a lot of your compatriots working on awesome tech products. To boot, they all seem to be TechItalia graduates, so it seems like Italy has a serious brain-drain problem :/
Hmm at this velocity even more sites will start blocking EU users.
Hasn't Windows 10 essentially solved that problem by not letting any application change the default browser setting, instead only letting them open the correct settings panel? Or is there now a way around that?
Not just that, those programs create (and are explicitly required to do so) large amounts of spinoffs in specific states. This is one force (almost the only one, frankly) that spreads knowledge, creates new centers of expertise across the US and thus binds the US together economically and socially. (NASA being the other, much smaller one doing this)

It would be very bad to kill it without replacement.

> We know that regulation protects the big players at the expense of their would be competition and drives up profits.

You're describing poorly thought out or outright captured regulation.

Regulation is not defacto bad. There are plenty of regulations from the last 100 years all over the world that are demonstrably positive.
Status code 451. And frankly I understand the foreign start ups that end up just doing this.
> This continent is a mess in terms of IT, with a few exceptions (London, Berlin, Dublin, some spots in Eastern Europe).

So... pretty much like the US (with a few exceptions like Silicon Valley or Austin, Tx)?
Thank you for your thoughtful response. You start by saying that you can't affect the EU democratically (even though you have much more democratic control over your MEP than you do over the House of Lords or your monarch), but then correctly point out that one of the important factors is how localised the decision making is. It's true that your MEP has a wider constituency than your MP, for example, but as I see it, the "less democratic" EU is actually undoing the authoritarian tendencies of the British government, rather than adding to them (in net, I suppose, especially since this copyright law hasn't actually been finalised yet).

Excuse the triple pun, but speaking of "in net", I don't see how EU national fishing quotas are an example of authoritarianism. I suppose you are saying it is an example of state-overreach, but my understanding is that the quotas are set to avoid over-fishing of British waters (a problem which has historically done more to decimate fish populations than any EU politician has), and to allow an open market for deciding which fishing companies are allowed which part of the quota (leading to better prices for the consumer). You may not like the idea that non-British citizens can fish in British waters, but it could equally be argued that it would be state-overreach for the British government to effectively raise the price of fish to give a subsidy to British fish catchers.
See, the problem is that here we don't need principles. We need real facts and real solutions.

Many - across Europe - want to leave the EU on principle. The UK is giving the perfect example to everyone that principle is not aligned with reality in this case.
No, we are not. It happens.
Copyright is a contract between two groups where a copyright holder dictates the terms under which their material may be used or duplicated. If the receiving party to that material violates those terms (say they've received a movie screener for an unreleased film and leaked it), they are in violation of that contract and should pay the fees dictated in their contract.

To argue that all parties everywhere should be forced subsidize the enforcement and policing of that contract is outrageous, economically unsound, and violates liberty.
Vault doesn't try to solve the human trust problem, just the application trust problem. It assumes you can trust the humans involved in the system. Secrets simply don't live with applications.

Solving the human trust problem is far more difficult and outside the realm of a single software application.
So the "pre-CRT Oscilloscope" is an oscillograph.

When I came in the door in instrumentation work, they'd moved to self-developing photo paper, so we got to use the former darkrooms as additional storage space. CRTs came into use on oscillographs, with the physical galvonometers being replaced by a CRT about half a centimeter tall and 200mm wide displaying dots that were recorded on the photographic paper. They were better at high frequencies, since they didn't have to deal with the physical mass of the galvonometer's rotor (the shaft, coil, and a very small mirror), but since there were a few beams in the CRT multiplexed between signal channels there were compromises in what you could record on one record with a CRT oscillograph, too. Typical galvo o-graphs recorded up to 48 channels on 30cm wide paper, CRTs up to 16 or 32 channels on 20cm paper.

Galvos took a lot of time to set up and calibrate. Adjustments to each one's amplifier, travel range and optical focus, then testing & calibration on each day of use.
I don't see how they can have it both ways. Either the game is an eSport where the most skillful person wins, or they can have lootboxes where the person that spends the most wins.

So in the first case there is no super significant difference between the players on the field, which means there is no point to buy loot boxes to get better players.

Or in the second case it isn't really an eSport because the person that spends the most money (and is luckiest with the players that they get) will more likely win.
The only thing GDPR and this new law have in common is that both of them will make it very difficult for new internet companies to challenge incumbents (not that it was very easy currently). But if every video distributing company is going to need something like contentID, good luck to them.
> America is a country of huge wealth. Wealthy in natural resources, capital equipment, labor ... fucking everything.

Doing nothing will not remove poverty. Still some work is needed at least to bring up natural resources and work on other areas... yes - everything needs some work. Just sitting and complaining will not make anyone richer.
Sounds like back in the day it was still expensive to go to the theater.
I see all these great recommendations for static site generators here for documentation! Does anyone have a recommendation for something thats geared more towards mechanical? Essentially I need to be able to show an image and the instructions next to it.
A bit less discussed aspect of the law is the recent addition that makes recording sport events illegal. While the intention looks clearly intended to be about large sport stadiums with explicit deals, the scope is not limited to those situations and simply cover any "sport event". It will be interesting to see what happens if they try to enforce it for marathons and bike races on public roads.

I'm not sure what you mean. GDPR has everything to do with Internet, the Internet has been the whole reason it was created. Without the internet, the previous laws were OK. During the discussions (on state-level politics as well) only the internet was mentioned that frequently along with internet companies such as Facebook and Google, except for the note that it of course affects everything else.

Even if GDPR was merely touching the internet, it is touching the internet, which is my point - people said things like "the people in EU know what they're doing", why isn't it true now?
>Frail elderly people often don't eat enough, or lack fiber, for example because their teeth hurt. Appetite also declines with age.

You're strongly implying causation here. I'm unaware of any serious body of research that indicates elderly people are getting frailer because of a decrease in appetite.
"We know what you are up to... Please do what we want you to do instead."

That's kinda the impression I get, there is definitely no sense of "security" or "privacy" in this or in the first run of Chrome or Firefox messages that also tend to show up.

It sounds more like "if you follow our recommendations we won't be so obvious about us monitoring what you do."

Ah yes, this comment was bound to appear. As it always does when we find out that the people running Windows do something that's not a good idea.

They are more open with their development division, as they have to be. Windows is a completely different division, and more often than not, the notable members of the development division will call out their company.
A bit challenging to sue a project when it has no owners and no jurisdiction.

PS: Jonathan Strange: Great books and even better TV.
If it makes you feel any better, the Fossil project (which is by the same developers, and is used for SQLite version control) recently moved off their mailing list and onto a new web forum/email notifications system built into Fossil, which has better security (better than this, certainly). SQLite will eventually move to the same system.
The spec not being right means the human/humans that made it couldn't foresee all possible edge cases. It's not a bad thing for the spec to exceed the size of the program. SQLite does this, with over 700 times more test code than application code.

The spec is the human interface to the expected behavior of the program, while the code is the human interface to the actual behavior of the program.
But isn't "coding" fun?
> And mainstream political parties wonder why people feel disenfranchised. They have become a professional political class, completely disconnected from the people they purport to represent. The result is protest (Trump, Brexit et al).

Just wait until you walk around Brussels. EU politicians don't mix with the locals. They've got separate everything. They have reserved parking spaces, separate taxes, separate restaurants, separate social security, separate supermarkets, schools and swimming schools that the locals are excluded from.

Needless to say, all are vastly superior to what the locals get.

Compared to that, I would argue you're wrong. I don't know how UK politicians live, but I very much doubt it is half as "separate class" as the EU class in Brussels. In Brussels the politicians live like the politicians in Beijing live.
As I understand it, Article 11 (the "link tax") is actually fairly tame. It only requires reimbursement for "use" and explicitly permits linking and citations. The term "use" is a bit ambiguous but it seems to be more directed at scraping and republishing rather than mere link aggregation. It's not a link tax.

Article 13 however still sounds worrying. It describes automated image recognition (i.e. an upload filter) as a possible mechanism for preventing the upload and publishing of illegal content. However I can't find any language that explicitly requires the filtering, non-commercial platforms like Wikipedia are explicitly exempt and it's fairly directly aimed at companies that make money from publishing content users upload to make them liable for the content they're hosting.

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like it will mostly be trouble for companies like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and file hosters (e.g. Mega). How dangerous it is to startups exactly depends on how "appropriate and proportionate measures leading to the non-availability on those services of works or other subject matter infringing copyright or related-rights, while non-infringing works and other subject matter shall remain available" is to be interpreted in practice.

EDIT: To clarify: I'm skeptical of this and was extremely biased against this because of what the EFF and others have said about it. But the final text seems far less terrible than the first draft that everyone got up in arms over.
I came here to post exactly this.

The author should not simply state as an assumption that centralized price controls will fix the issue. There needs to be some kind of support offered. Generally, price controls aren't needed to control prices.

If they were -- and if that approach actually worked in general -- then it is unlikely that we would have seen Perestroika, or the horn of plenty that is the modern market economy.

I don't disagree that newspapers are generally garbage, but that isn't the point I was making.
Unfortunately, the actual text isn't available yet, and now I can't seem to find the list of amendments I was reading earlier, but if I recall correctly, in both the original and proposed amendments, scholarly publications were considered not to be press publications and were not covered at all by the press publication protections.

The EU Parliament press release is also claiming that a number of non-commercial and "small" platforms will be excluded.

> And who would read MEPs reasonings about something "uninteresting"?

Perhaps not the general public, but the problem for MEPs would be that evidence against their integrity may accumulate from different cases.
Because having politicians work directly in the Tory part to serve the interests only of their rich donors, their partners, and themselves is so much better than being ruled by elected representatives and those chosen by those representatives (whom you call oligarchs) in Europe?

Perhaps if we hadn't been fooling around trying to destroy the project for cooperation across Europe we could have taken part in making this new legislation better?

I guess it comes down to whether you're willing to accept peace and prosperity above less power for the Tories and a few wayward laws. As we get wayward laws already in the UK (we'd get Art.13 anyway if it serves media conglomerates interests), then it comes down to whether you want to buy back greater power for the Tories at a cost of greater UK poverty, and less international cooperation.

What really concerns me about the track of this hurricane is that North Carolina has so many hog farms. Even ordinary heavy rain can cause hog waste lagoons (more or less the filthiest thing on the planet) to overflow. A hurricane is going to wash all of that hog waste downstream. Think of that when you see pictures of people wading through floodwaters.
Interview with Andrew Ng [audio]
I wouldn't say the EU had knowledge to begin with. While GDPR was a step in the right direction, how poorly, and vaguely it was written created problems. GDPR isn't a concrete thing, but a high-level set of guidelines with no clear direction on what falls into each camp. This is why leading up to GDPR there were n consultancies, and articles vocalising "Our interpretation of GDPR".

As for irony, ask any art historian with experience in middle ages or late antiquity art. She'll tell you that it has always been a popular device in the arts.

The problem with "irony", where this common myth about its novelty comes from, is that Irony is invisible to generations separated by time and place.

To see irony in a work of antiquity requires a significant amount of education in the circumstances of that work. Irony never lies of the surface of a work. If enough time passes, our appreciation of that irony will often be lost.

How much irony is hidden there in the vase paintings of ancient Greece which we will never recognize, having not the context to see it? Irony, a Greek term, coined by Aristotle, passed on by the Romans, and more recently popularized in the 1500's by the French -- yet could we recognize Irony in any of their works without help?

If the average art critic finds no instances of irony in the art of the past they could be excused for that, their job isn't art history. Those are separate professions.

Where art critics do deserve blame however is when they've been shown countless examples of irony in the works of antiquity, and they act as if those instances are all unique anomalies. If they continue to bandy about the story of irony's novelty to defend the valuations of the works of their contemporaries, that's not fair play.

That's Art Criticism made Marketing, and it's an ugly but extremely common thing.
that would be quite terrifying if it were to occur.

Which is unfortunately one of the ways that the companies try to avoid being labelled as gambling, because they do not allow you to sell or trade the items that you get. There is no secondary market for these games nor a way to cash out.
Counterfeit and unsafe items aren't always "obviously" so and unless you have familiarity with the actual item, you might not notice. If you bought soap and got soap, you may be none the wiser that your soap was counterfeit.

As a general rule, in most jurisdictions, you cannot do business across international borders in this way, no. As soon as someone from the EU pays Google while they are physically inside of the EU, that business is subject to the EU's laws.
Great, we are turning into the Banking industry: stupid regulation to make big actors bigger and make it almost impossible for newcomers with great ideas. These regulation always started with good intentions, but turned out to just add cost for... no value added to the final customer.
