Blocking users from the EU is a very drastic and in most cases very unnecessary measure to avoid GDPR trouble.

The GDPR was not designed to cripple honest businesses, and enforcement in the past 9 months certainly did not prove otherwise.

If anybody's interested in a more nuanced approach feel free to ask me any questions.

Manufacturing and maintaining a vehicle produced pollution itself, so not creating demand for one is less polluting than still creating a demand for a vehicle of any type.
Imagine a state actor with the resources and motivation to engage in serious sabotage (a-la stuxnet). These processes are so sensitive and complex, I bet they could come up with a really devious way to introduce a contaminant that isn't detected until it's too late -- maybe even when the parts start failing after delivery. Pretty wild to think about having that kind of target on your back and what you'd have to do to even try to defend against it.
So many unbelievable parts, but this one stood out to me:

>She tells former colleagues, according to the two executives, that she is greeted by well-wishers on the street who are rooting for her resurrection.

That says it all. Beyond the fraud, beyond the obscene breaches of fiduciary duty, it all basically reduces down to a severely delusional person, operating in an environment where delusion in it's more acceptable forms is seen as a positive attribute.

I've browsed through the spec and it looks like servers likely won't need to change anything. Most of the interaction between clients happens via mail headers.

> Problem is, any possible "cool thing" is economically exploitable--and the economy absolutely will exploit it in the end.

"Economic exploitation" and "people enjoying the place" are the same thing. A beach with one person rather than 300 is great if you're that one person, but it sucks for the other 299.

> For #1, you realize that the same problem applies right? Economic incentives are all completely against this.

Not convinced. People are willing to pay a premium for a site in good condition, with enough space to explore, and exclusivity is a bonus in some circles. If you jack the price up by a factor of 10 (which may sound ridiculous, but look at the price of Everest climbing permits) and only 1/5th as many people come, that's a profit for you and fewer people coming.
Labels, and words in general, while making it possible to communicate concepts to other people, also inherently make gross generalizations of those concepts, which confuses communication. Labels are therefore also used to “label” people, which is considered a bad thing. Therefore, some people really don't like labels.

What usually happens is someone creates an API, one which did not initially have to handle much data, and then it just grew over time. (I guess it's similar to how a lot of the Internet's early application-layer protocols like HTTP, SMTP, etc. are text-based --- the text format was initially more "convenient" for a variety of reasons, but obviously is not very efficient at scale.)

Or, perhaps a more common scenario today, it was designed by people who simply had no knowledge of binary protocols or efficiency at all --- not too long ago I had to deal with an API which returned a binary file, but instead of simply sending the bytes directly, it decided to send a JSON object containing one array, whose elements were strings, and each string was... a hex digit. Instead of sending "Hello world" it would send '{"data":["4","8"," ","6","5"," ","6","C"," " ... '
People and 'the News' most times don't read the details, which is logical since we never get the full reports on our hands. The scope of the audit/examination should document the limitations/boundaries of the examination. E.g. X, Y, and Z, countries, A, B, and C subsidiaries, for the period of dd/mm/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy. And which transactions where checked? All deposits? From all business lines? E.g. bank deposits OR their investment brokers?

Oath, noun - profane or obscene expression usually of surprise or anger.

It's an apt name, because it describes exactly what I say whenever I land on one of their sites.
We are working on server specs, the idea is that certain functionality like WebPush, WebRTC calls, channels require the servers to support COI.
Spent 10 minutes trying to prevent TC / Oath from using my personal data. 5 clicks and proving I'm not a robot before reaching a privacy dashboard. Except, to actually set my preferences to not track me I first need to agree to tracking! And if I don't allow 3rd party cookies to track me I cannot withdraw consent.

GDPR was meant to allow users to refuse consent without detriment, and to not to force consent to use the service. Oath clearly violates GDPR, yet regulators have done nothing in 10 months.
This is just some miner trolling everyone by paying a big fee to themself.

I don't see any way for them to benefit from it or to launder money as others have suggested.
According to the spec (https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/CoiW/COI+...) clients are expected to ask the IMAP server using a CAPABILITY command whether it supports COI extensions. Whether or not the server does support COI, messages are indeed standard mails with an extra Chat-Version: header and the requirement that Message-Ids start with "coi$".

So an existing server need not do anything to support COI clients. But a malicious server could easily decide to reject them, or to filter out COI-specific stuff from messages. I don't think it's likely, but it sometimes big corporations and governments get paranoid about weird things ("network load!!1!") and take technical measures to block them.
Lot of companies are shooting themselves in their own foot by sharing critical data with a plethora of third-parties.

They put sensitive information like username, orderid in the URL which is then shared with all the third-parties on that page, simply because referrers are not sanitized.

This happens:

- Without user-consent

- More dangerously without the companies knowing it too.

On reporting, the companies do not want to fix these issues.

I wonder if WeWork has already started an espionage (excuse me, business intelligence) program or whether that's a future development.

Consider: an ordinary landlord knows how many desks you have, how many people show up on an average day, and how much garbage/recycling you put out. WeWork has operatives who can measure what percentage of your employees' days are spent at their desks, what they like to do for fun, when they are taking trips, where they are going, all their internet usage, how much they print (and if they cared, the contents of all print jobs), what they underline or circle on whiteboards. And of course, they can cross-correlate that across thousands of tenant companies, some of whom are certainly in competition with each other, and some of whom are listed on the stock markets already. Some of whom are no doubt conducting mergers, talks to be acquired... there's a wealth of non-public information that WeWork has access to. How long until they start to take advantage from it?

You can reach out to folks by email in Riot by hitting "start chat" and entering an email address. I'm not sure how much easier we can make that ;)

We should run a general purpose email bridge though, and in fact there's a massive public sector outfit asking for such a thing currently so it'll probably happen sooner than later.

In terms of Matrix not being a spectacular success - well, that's a matter of perspective. The intention for France is absolutely for it to federate with the public network (once there's are sufficient border gateways in place). And France is far from the only high profile Matrix deployment out there, it's just one that we can speak about. But eitherway, COI looks cool, and I hope it helps OX sell more mail servers :)

That's the rationale Linux people give. But FreeBSD has managed to maintain much stronger backwards compatibility (with older ABIs gradually moved into -compat modules and eventually removed entirely) than Linux without it noticeably damaging kernel development speed. Linux is the only major platform where hardware that worked frequently stops working (not just because of closed-source drivers; the same problems exist for open-source drivers that are out-of-tree for whatever reason - there are plenty of high-quality open-source drivers that the kernel doesn't accept in-tree or that don't want to be in-tree), and what do you actually gain for that high price?

Puzzling design is definitely not a contemporary trend. It was more common in the 1980-90s, but the style reached its height when CSS wasn't available, most visitors were unfamiliar with the Web etc. so pulling this off in a major publication like the NYT would be risky. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carson_(graphic_design...

Everyone commits around three federal felonies a day, according to the premise of the book "Theee Felonies a Day" that I read a long time ago.

We are all criminals and all do something "wrong" legally, all the time. The only difference is that the justice system focuses on some of us and not others, and the plea system harms most of those who are focused on, because any scrutiny at all can virtually always lead to an indictment.

Just check the Skrelli incident for an example, or the whole Muller investigation. Virtually all those people would have escaped indictment had they just kept their heads down and avoided notice by justice officials.
It does not. If a device requires your location to work, it is not a remote, it's something else.

It can’t be default because the protocol is degradable by design. I would agree that they could advocate a method to harmonize all COI-aware IMAP servers. But it’s hard to get E2E encryption in a heterogeneous, legacy environment.
Log files? More and more places are switching to easily machine-parsable logs to run statistics and checks over, and JSON is a common format (e.g. because it's still somewhat human-readable and will work over logging infrastructure set up to transport lines of text)

Daniel Stenberg Explains What Is HTTP 3 and How It Is Related to HTTP 2
Our Time To Think (OTTT) is a productivity tool for teams who want to have a few blocks of time a day where they are not interrupted by notifications.

When an OTTT session begins - either manually with a command like /ottt 30 (for 30 minutes) or by the OTTT schedule tool - OTTT scans the Slack channel for its members and sets their Do Not Disturb (DND) for that period of time.

Subscribers to OTTT can link multiple Slack workspaces so that starting an OTTT session in one will set their DND status in all of their workspaces.

In the future, OTTT will include managing teams DND settings on their computers and phones, too, and support a physical indicator such as a light that turns color so that other office workers know when a team is focused.

You vote for MEPs (I believe all EU constituencies are multi-member constituencies)

Those MEPs are usually members of national parties, and members of groups of parties (and "eu party"). The latter would include EPP (conservatives), S&D (socialists), ALDE (liberals), ECR (eurosceptic conservatives), Greens, etc.

(My descriptions are probably a bit simplistic)

The makeup of the groups-of-parties at each election is shown at this picture

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/86b6bea58...

The 750 MEPs in parliament then vote in the Commissioner. As no group of parties has an absolute majority, it requires pan-ideology agreement. The rule is that the commissioner candidate of the largest group gets the first shot, and the MEPs approve or reject him. In 2014 the EPP were the largest group, with 217 MEPs. S&D were next with 189.

As such the EPP candidate - Jean-Claude Juncker (who was elected at an EPP conference in March 2014) - was the first in line. The EU Council (heads of state of the 28 countries) asked the leaders of the various EU parties if he'd do, and the EPP and S&D agreed. The EU Council then voted 26-2 to approve him and pass him, and his policies, to the MEPs to be approved.

It's typical coalition building. Most proponents of FPTP don't like this sort of compromise (I.e. Juncker's policies had to not only satisfy the 29% of MEPs in his "party", but enough of the rest to maintain approval), but it's not an aberation.

Then the MEPs looked at his policies, debated, then voted for or against him, and with 422 of 750 votes, he was approved.

It might seem a little alien to those who are used to a FPTP system, or to a directly elected executive, but it's quite similar to the way the UK 2010-2015 government was formed.
