These organizations do have such an incentive. The very essence of GDPR is to create these incentives. The EU's goal with GDPR was to make user data a liability, and to encourage organizations to reconsider their need to hoover and hoard it.

The GDPR is unlikely to be overturned, and there are plenty in the EU who are eager to enforce it. Just because it's not being enforced right this second doesn't mean the law won't catch up to offenders.

Especially if Margrethe Vestager replaces Jean-Claude Juncker as president of the European Commission, you can expect a ton of action on this front.
It wasn’t just that. It was also that they went around to the OEMs and bullied them into not signing licensing deals with Netscape.

Microsoft actively and wilfilly went out to hurt Netscape. You can’t really argue Apple is doing the same with Spotify.
It's also possible that that software system isn't triggered the same way on AA and SWA 737s as it is on the other airlines...
If you believe the narrative about erroneous readings, this makes a difference.

Nothing concrete about the latest crash, could be 100% software related.

> If you want to use external tracking and be GDPR-compliant, you must offer a clear choice ("yes/no") and you must not use pre-ticked boxes (i.e. an opt-out approach)

Exactly this. Basically what the GDPR says is: if your business doesn't require the data, you cant use it without the user's consent. And data used for better advertising is NOT essential to e.g. a news site.

What's more, the regulation syas that you can NOT simply say "accept or leave" in that case. You then have to provide the service to the user without storing that non essential data. You can't provide a service, even for free, that you condition on storing data not essential for that service. There is no "if you don't like it, leave" clause.

Basically: spiegel.de has to be prepared to show their news to anyone, including those that do not wish to be tracked by their ads. Right now we are in a period of denial where site owners believe they can have these "By entering you agree to..." banners. Once the first large fines are handed out, It'll be fun to watch.

Are you saying 17deg from horizontal? Let's ignore wind and other influences. A normal plane can not climb more steeply than 17deg?

I'm not implying you're wrong, just very surprised to see this low a number. I would have guessed much closer to something like 45deg, maybe even more.

I’m sure you’re willing to hop on a flight with one of these planes, but I’m not and I doubt the majority of people who’ve heard about it are. Canada saw the same sort of flight pattern dip in the new crash that happened to the old one. It’s only that the FAA administrator is a lobbyist of the air manufacturing industry that they didn’t follow suit.
Curious of they did it due to a kernel exploit being used by a nation state bad enough that it was worth YOLO patching.
And then Tesla "declined" to make the call receiver witness available. And asked the Sheriff to put out a press conference anyway and say the threat was credible. And then put out their own press release when the Sheriff declined because it wasn't.

At some point, the progression of circumstances reduces the possibility of alternatives.
> I'm not sure an "emergency order", which Trump said it was, is even a thing?

Well, the link to the order has that in its title (but is also a dead link right now):

[EDIT: Oh, they f-ed up the URL in the link with a trailing space, and didn't verify it before posting: https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/media/Emergency_Order.pdf ; It is indeed an "Emergency Order of Prohibition", and an FAA emergency order is an actual distinct legal thing under 49 USC Sec. 46105(c) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/49/46105 ]

I think the only reason to include FB OAuth is if it allowed such users to integrate the service with FB Events (which, AFAIK, isn't possible with their current API).

I'd say it's a given that FB users also use Google, and would be just as likely to use either service's OAuth.
But when does it end? What if people change their minds again?
No. Tarn is modifying Dwarf Fortress to support the graphics and sound. Kitfox/graphics people will tell Tarn what they need to support the graphics/sound and he'll add it.
People believe the GDPR is about cookie warnings. That's the problem. The GDPR is great and the annoying cookie warnings is about 1% of GDPR.

You can't say "I liked it better before GDPR because cookie warnings".
Unfortunately didn't have a chance to check this on mobile, but the parent poster is correct: https://www.faa.gov/about/history/brief_history/#agency
A country isn’t a company, nor is the executive branch. Agencies operate somewhat independently, precisely to prevent the appearance (and reality) of political interference. In practice, this means the president does not have the power to make agency decisions. For some agencies, he might get to fire the director. But even then, he would have to fire everyone down the line to the individual or group making the decision.

Violating that tradition is rather stupid for a President. Not only are FAA decisions now tainted, he is putting himself square at the center of blame for anything negative happening from now on. It’s even worse considering there aren’t really any symmetrical opportunities to shine with a job well done in aviation safety comparable to a crash.
Not necessarily. However I’m under no disillusion that I’m anything but an edge case.
Hi, thanks a lot for your feedback and time. Much appreciated.
We have had bunch of conversations re. call-to-actions vs. words vs. events.

Simon, Stuff.
i said this in another thread and was downvoted. oh well.
Just happened. Twitter ramblings rightfully go unignored, but a properly filed executive order does not.

Trump shares some blame here because he's never had, nor even appointed, an FAA commissioner. Maybe with someone confirmed in charge they would've been more proactive.
"The sheriff says that when he’d looked into the anonymous call after police confronted Tripp, the threat seemed less threatening than the company made it sound. The caller said Tripp was volatile but didn’t say he was on his way to shoot up the place. “You remember playing telephone as a kid?” Antinoro asks. “It got blown out of proportion.” He dropped the investigation when Tesla declined to make available a colleague of Tripp’s who might have called in the tip."

So basically an emotional phone call was recounted by a chain of people and blown out of proportion. Then the company felt the need to publicize it in order to get a little dirt on the shoes of the would be (and ultimately failed) whistleblower.

The sheriff sounds like a great and honest fellow, but the rest of this is just a mess. Of course, one employee running to the press with a "whistleblower" story that turns out to be misleading rubbish and doing billions of dollars in market damage isn't great. Responding to him this way isn't great.

What a mess.
The problems IE6 had are vastly different from the problems Chrome presents. But I would argue the Chrome's are potentially worse. IE6 was a big problem mostly for developers who were perhaps better equipped to deal with them. Chrome not only has the chance to become the "singl;e browser" (if it's not already there) and direct the web wherever but it also poses problems directly to the users who are most definitely not equipped to handle them.

I see this as a much bigger issue than IE ever had. It's not technical so a simple patch in your web app won't fix it.
And there's another category of people that understand but don't care.
No -- according to the article, while a call did take place -- the "mass shooting" aspect of it was most made up by the Tesla people.

> In a statement, Boeing said it recommended to the Federal Aviation Administration that the 737 Max be grounded "out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft's safety."

A company is recommending to their regulator that the regulator take action against them. That is a pretty solid indicator that the lawyers have a rough idea of potential liability and are now trying to mitigate damages.
Hah, so I was right, in a way. They took the good without the bad. Except now these planes still grounded, so if they could have predicted this, perhaps they would have been smart not to buy them.

In fact, Southwest had very little choice purchasing new planes: their entire fleet are 737s (of various versions) so that they can lower personnel training & maintaining costs, which is part of the reason their prices are typically lower. So if they were to expand their fleet while still trying to minimize the cost they had basically no choice but to keep buying new 737s.

I don't blame Southwest though, after all the FAA and Boeing gave the green light for these jets. It would be interesting to see where Southwest is going if 737 Max is discontinued after this.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but all the scripts the website owner hotloads have to also use subresource integrity for the scripts they are hotloading, or subresource integrity gains nothing beyond the first level of script loading?

I rarely feel that website owners out out to get me, my distrust comes from scripts that load scripts that load scripts. Lets not piss about, I know most people who have written websites that are loading jquery from a remote CDN haven't bothered to inspect it to see what it's loading. By contrast, a website that has vendored all it's script dependencies has looked at the entire dependency tree at least /once/. That shows a baseline level of competence that I'm willing to extend trust on top of.
Open Source has a definition[0], which this doesn't fit. The definitions of Open Source and Free Software are actually remarkably similar, and they significantly overlap.

Remember all the early A320 crashes? Do you worry about stepping onto an A320 now? Unless the problem turns out to be far deeper, I suspect that this, too, shall pass.
Changing phones takes about an hour.

Changing countries is usually not even possible because of immigration restrictions. And even if you could get past that you are looking at years/decades before you are a proper citizen.

That actually makes me feel simultaneously a lot better and worse that some party, especially Southwest, who in my personal travels has been my favorite airline, has been proactive with this.

>players with most trackers just refuse to show the cookie warnings at all

The results of the legislation -in regard to cookies- are inconsistent, annoying, unevenly enforced, create a moral hazard and two-tier system, and I presume have negative overall utility.

This is why I do not consider the law to have been written with good intentions. The intentions were claimed to be good, but I don't see the lawmakers having had put in the necessary effort to ensure privacy improvement. Nor admit there are shortcomings to the legislation that need either fixing, or perhaps scrapping the legislation. Did they really intent on exerting enough effort to write the legislation well? To shoulder blame if it does not work out? To take the responsibility? Or to shore it up as situation develops?

Right now I perceive the cookie warnings to be merely EU's advertising banners - "Heeey, this is EU taking care of you!" - plastered all around the web just like banner ads used to be plastered all over the web. Morally the same - pompous self promotion, except paid for with legal rubberstamp rather than money.
Tarn isn't known for being a good developer. He's just very dedicated :)

In fact it's pretty well known that Dwarf Fortress has a horrible code base and it would be a huge project to bring it up to a good standard.

I feel like every time someone sets out to create a F/OSS successor to DF, they end up mired in creating dungeon and world generators and never produce a functional game.

Really, that's what DF is anyhow; they even call it a "story generator" IIRC. Tarn just managed to put enough of a playable game together before getting lost in the details of world generation, and people have stayed engaged enough with it to keep him involved in the project.
One of the more interesting startups to come out of W19 in my opinion.

OK, thanks.

You can certainly have invalid bytes for UTF-8 too. I think in any unicode encoding, not every possible byte sequence is a valid representation of unicode codepoints. It doesn't require UCS-2/UTF-16.

Here's an invalid byte sequence in UTF-8: "\xc3\x28"
I don’t have any Google home devices, but I’d be curious to know how many of those queries are simply commands “Google play my music” and how many are actual internet searches “Google what is the capital of Alabama”.
A day after personally calling the president to ask him to prevent the regulator from taking action. This is just a bad attempt at saving face.
Sanitizing the DOM is another option, but the main problem I was trying to avoid by taking screenshots is the arms race between the cloud browser and websites, as also seen with ad blockers. A static screenshot in contrast is "up" a level, agnostic to the complex details of rendering an HTML5 website.

Another inspiration is image boards such as 4chan, where screenshots are a very common means of sharing information, including articles on websites, or even tweets. Even though it may not be technically ideal, and annotated text seems like it would be more efficient, in practice images as the lowest-common-denominator seem to be a reasonably effective format for sharing information.

On the other hand, if someone does come up with a true "browser in browser" implementation like you propose, I would be very interested in trying it out. Could be a promising idea, but a lot of work to get right.
Wrong. US pilots complained about the MAX 8 for the last several months. Just because it hasn't crashed in the US doesn't make it safe.
I wonder what makes you think that about Rivian?
Probably a combination of that and to curtail the "I just spoke to Brad in Customer Service who confirmed _the whole datacenter if offline_" type posts.

Yeah you would know.

> If you want to use external tracking and be GDPR-compliant, you must offer a clear choice ("yes/no") and you must not use pre-ticked boxes (i.e. an opt-out approach).

You can use absolutely no external tracking and be GDPR-noncompliant. In fact, an Apache web server running the default test page is technically noncompliant. Everyone loves to jump to the tracking ads and data selling, since they are easy targets, but the scope of the law is much broader than that.
You can, except he says he spends the vast majority of his time doing engineering. There are lots of videos of him with a hardhat on working in his factories. Not PR videos, either. He's the head of product development for the cars, not just the CEO.

Hate the guy for his personality all you want; I can certainly understand why. But there's no need to downplay his achievements or skills.
ChakraCore also has the ability to disable JIT. And we have a build configuration that compiles out the JIT so the binary is smaller as well.

But we hear your "third world" and "idiot" dog whistles loud and clear.
I'm curious to know how much civil disobedience there's been at airports once passengers realized they'd be flying a 737 MAX. With well over 100 people on a typical flight, and it only taking one dissenter to cause a disturbance that can ripple out to many more passengers, it may have been untenable to continue flying these anyway.
So, that article seems to be partly made up.

FAQ from the Foreign Legion recruiting website [0]:

> Is it mandatory to serve under declared identity ?

> NO

Even wikipedia [1] has

> As of 20 September 2010, new recruits may enlist under their real identities or under declared identities.

The site also explains how French nationals can join while the article says

> this military force only recruits foreigners

So instead of upvoting, please just flag this shit.

edit: oh and since 2000 women can join the foreign legion.

edit2: In case this article is just really, really old (according to wikipedia howstuffworks launched in 1998) and was written before 2000 (improbable as it has a picture from 2007), that just shows how useless articles without dates are.

If you operate from the mindset that nix is always responsible for all of the kernel and all of userland, none are unreasonable.

The moment you try to live in a world where nix isn't controlling the kernel, most of those packages are unreasonable. Several provide both a kernel module and userspace tools. Wireguard, VirtualBox, OpenAFS are prime examples that jump out at me. It's totally reasonable to wish to install the userland portion of any of these packages without adding a kernel you cant even use to your system image.

My personal preference would be to see such packages split, with the kernel module package treated as an optional dependency for the userland package. Then the kmod can drag in the kernel and headers only when needed.
If the evidence against XOM was some pictures of some trailers and complaints of the company being disorganized, then yes, I would treat them the same way.
The Angle of Attack is defined as the angle between relative wind and chord of an airfoil. So if your engine has enough juice to climb at 45° (and many aerobatic aircrafts do), your relative wind is coming at 45° from ground, but almost at 0° with respect to the chord. So your wing is still flying.

Let me know if that makes sense.

>> And the Dutch DPA’s guidance makes it clear internet visitors must be asked for permission in advance for any tracking software to be placed — such as third-party tracking cookies; tracking pixels; and browser fingerprinting tech — and that that permission must be freely obtained. Ergo, a free choice must be offered.

> Neither cookies, nor tracking pixels, nor browser fingerprinting are software. Your web browser is software. The server side runs software. These are data.

> It seems pedantic, but I think it shows that the lawmakers have an underlying misunderstanding of how tech (and the world) works.

No, that's just TechCruch's summary. This is the Dutch DPA's actual guidance: https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/nl/nieuws/websites-moe...

It's in Dutch. I would not be surprised if "software" has a slightly different meaning or connotations than in English.

And even if it doesn't you don't need a precise command of technical jargon as a practitioner would use it to have a good understanding of an area. The meaning of TechCruch's translation was perfectly clear to me, and better than alternate formulations I can think of that avoid using "software" to refer to cookies. Maybe they should have just government-jargon and called them "tracking cybers."
