Some countries are sane enough to enshrine privacy in public spaces into law, because of the potential for abuse.

This is slowly but surely being eroded also in Germany. Multiple cities are trialling full video surveillance to stop the terrorists.

e.g: Some USA towns have near 100% video surveillance through the Amazon doorbell cameras (Ring) of the town's inhabitants. Some content is publicly available, cops can also request it.

Then Amazon is posting captured video as Facebook advertisements to identify suspected thieves.

It's a vision for an academic, small scale, network, not for a viable global web.
That'll be part of why they got the fine. One component of gdpr is taking reasonable steps to avoid leaking personal data, and as you pointed out relying on someone remembering to bcc rather than cc is asking for trouble.
> Your question belittles the literal billions of dollars and millions of man hours that have gone into making the current and previous implementations of Google's search engine

I don't think this question belittles Google's work.

I feel saying that would be like saying that animals that chose to live on the land were belittling millions of years of evolution in the water.

People working at Google chose to spends their time building a search engine for the world wide web, fine.
That does not mean that sharing information accross a network has to be done via { world wide web, google }.

All of this is purely theroical of course, but I'm sure someone more creative than me would find another solution.
Maybe not a solution that would exactly fit OP's description, maybe not a solution that would be practical with the current infrastructure.

But a solution that would render Google as-is obsolete ? Yes, I think that would be possible.
Healthcheck Microservice on Golang and JSON
Not a harassment campaign as such, it seems. He was mad about something, and mailed a bunch of politicians and press his complaints. Complaints, sometimes bordering on being libelous, according to the agency which fined him, not death threats.

He was fined solely based upon the email addresses being visible to all recipients, not because of the content of his mails, said a spokesperson. However, he was a repeat offender in terms of privacy, who in the past was warned, then fined for similar stuff.

I'm a little bit torn on that one. The fine seems excessive for what he did (and the email addresses seem to be a list of already public journalist and press contacts) and it certainly looks like somebody in the govt got annoyed and threw the book at the guy in retaliation. Then again, he had ample warnings, and choose to ignore those warnings.

> "I expect there would have been a warning given in that case before assessing a fine." [...] That is why I was making it clear that in fact no warnings are required

They didn't say warnings were required, they said that warnings were the norm. You haven't provided counter-examples to that claim, you're arguing against a straw-man argument that "warnings are required by the GDPR".

As an example outside GDPR, it is not required to give children warnings when they commit petty crimes (such as shoplifting) but that is the overwhelming norm in most countries. In this analogy, you're arguing that "most children don't get put in juvenile detention for shoplifting and get warnings instead" isn't true because there isn't a provision in the criminal code saying that children need to be given warnings.

> indeed as time goes on, few warnings are likely to be given.

This is an example of the "baseless sentiment" that you claimed you're trying to fight against. On what basis do you claim to know (or even conjecture) that "few warnings are likely to be given" in the future?

There are many examples of GDPR warnings being given. To me, it seems to be the norm -- if you have an actual counterexample (other than pointing out that warnings aren't required, despite now basically admitting that legally-mandated warning stages aren't common and so that entire line of argument seems to be a non-sequitur) I'd love to see it.
A quote from not the current worm's author, but the author of the worm that may be the inspiration for the current one:

>The BrickerBot author argued that it would be better if the devices were destroyed, rather than sit around as cannon fodder for DDoS botnets, and haunting the internet for years.

... yea, broadly I'd agree. IoT vendors are causing a tragedy of the commons, inflicting quite a lot of damage without feeling any of the pain because it hits others.

It's the sort of thing that should be addressed by legislation of some kind, but absent that (which includes nearly all international cases)... what else can you do to stop the worst offenders?

Wouldn't that be a wash sale, and thus fraud to claim the loss as a tax deduction?
Could you elaborate on the downsides of fully electric vehicles?

Just interested, from my perspective the only major downside would be cost, and it wouldn't take much, either in additional taxation on buying/running ICE cars, or just more mass production of EVs, to rectify that, at least if you compare like for like (new EV vs. new ICE).

It'll take a long time to attack the 15 year old Japanese banger market (I've had cars that cost literally 100-200 quid a year to run, all costs included except fuel), sure.
You receive an email with a request for a privacy statement? Great, one way or the other, that's work with potential legal repercussion, which means you probably should talk to a lawyer. Additional expenses and hassle for no good reason.

You make a fix in the email system that accidentally emails everybody at the same time? (It almost happened.) Oops. There's your exposure to some nice fine.

You don't need to be abusing somebody's privacy to be concerned about legal exposure. Just like there are asshole companies, there are asshole users as well who can make your life miserable.

Any hobbyist who doesn't take this kind of exposure into consideration is naive.
Rather than switch to a meta-conversation about "memes", could you address the more concrete questions I asked earlier? That is, I wanted to know if you think that "white supremacy and "supporting white supremacy" were meaningful terms at all.

Before doing that, I'll note that you were the first to use the term 'society' in this thread. My previous statements were along the lines of 'support for open white supremacy'. I think "society" is a distraction because there's always the "not all" objection - not all white people in Virgiania in 1850s were in favor of slavery, even though it was a slave society.

So when I mean "society", I mean "the main cultural views as reinforced by the government and others with political, economic, and physical power".

Going back to my earlier questions, which I'll augment:

1) can the 1970s South Africa be described as a white supremacist society? I think it can. For obvious reasons.

2) can the 1850s US be described as a white supremacist society? I think it can, for obvious reasons.

3) can the 1950s US be described as a white supremacist society? I think it can. Jim Crow laws. Sundowner towns, Redlining, Mississippi Burning.

4) can the current US be described as a white supremacist society? I have come to the conclusion that viewing the dominate power structures in the US as being strongly influenced by white supremacy is a valid, though incomplete one.

If you reject that 'white-supremacist society' is a useful term, then perhaps you shouldn't have introduced it?
That's excellent. People still don't realize what the consequences of the so called "IoT" are - and the sooner they do, the better.
Markets are very much fractal too. One should notice that there are companies of every size presumably distributed according to a power law. Pretty much the definition of a fractal. Seems like an ideologically motivated piece to badmouth markets which is popular. And if one is from the other side of the spectrum one would say that in many instances these big companies get incentivized by government regulation. On both sides there is too much of a knee-jerk reaction and too less appreciation that things vary greatly per sector and per case and in some cases one side of the opinion spectrum is correct and in other cases the other side.

>I am not sure about Boris, but I am 100% certain that the narrative about Trump playing 4D chess is bullshit.

Compared to the narrative that a person who could run several multi-billion dollar businesses, negotiate deals all around the world, get back from bankruptcy (even if it was with cunning and winning banking favors) and play the media to become President is stupid?
It does cause unnecessary biopsies for sure. And some stress on the patients.

TCP Vulnerabilities in Linux Kernels - Patch GKE
Got following email from GCP,

Hello Google Kubernetes Engine Customer,

Netflix has recently disclosed three TCP vulnerabilities in Linux kernels:

CVE-2019-11477 [1]

CVE-2019-11478 [2]

CVE-2019-11479 [3]

These CVEs are collectively referred to as NFLX-2019-001.

Unpatched Linux kernels may be vulnerable to a remotely triggered denial of service attack. Kubernetes Engine Nodes that send or receive untrusted network traffic are affected, and we recommend that you upgrade to the latest patch version as soon as possible, as we detail below.

What should I do?

Due to the severity of these vulnerabilities, whether you have node-autoupgrade enabled or not, we recommend that you manually upgrade your nodes as soon as possible.

In order to upgrade, you must first upgrade your master to the newest version. This patch will be available in Kubernetes 1.11.8-gke.10, Kubernetes 1.12.7-gke.24, Kubernetes 1.12.8-gke.10 and Kubernetes 1.13.6-gke.13. New clusters have been using the patched version (except 1.11.10) by default starting Saturday, June 22. A patched 1.11.10 version will be made available in the coming days, and impacted customers will receive an additional notification. GKE customers who have node-autoupgrade enabled and who do not manually upgrade will have their nodes upgraded to patched versions at the normal cadence.

What vulnerabilities are addressed by this patch?

CVE-2019-11477: SACK Panic (Linux >= 2.6.29).This is rated as a High vulnerability.

CVE-2019-11478: SACK Slowness (Linux < 4.15) or Excess Resource Usage (all Linux versions). This is rated as a Medium vulnerability.

CVE-2019-11479: Excess Resource Consumption Due to Low MSS Values (all Linux versions). This is rated as a Medium vulnerability.

I think OP's idea is that search services would be built into the Internet, and not provided by a third party. That is, when a website is published or updated, it is somehow instantly indexed and made available for search as a feature of the platform on which it was published.
Attacks on the devs would certainly be overkill and hard to pull off unless they are in a friendly jurisdiction. In the US at least, media companies wouldn't need a case they could win. They could bankrupt the devs in legal fees and billable hours before it ever reached a court room. Excessive way to make an example, but the RIAA has a history of being cool with using the court system to extort money from people and the justice department is stacked with ex-RIAA lawyers (thanks Obama).

identifying a website vs a command line tool can be difficult. youtube-dl already supports custom user agent strings and cookies. youtube might check for things like installed fonts, look for randomly named web bugs in cache, or even try checking page load/render times. Once folks figure out what youtube is looking for they can try to correct for it but youtube can counter with something else and certainly make things complicated.
Sure! You can buy electric water pumps fairly cheap online. They normally come as 12V devices so you'll have to use a relay and a 12V supply, and some sort of circuit to drive the relay using the 3.3V GPIO from the Pi. You can control the pins using Python and the RPI.GPIO library. I personally use a Zerodis DC 12V Homebrew Beer Pump (although there are about 50 other types on Amazon) and a length of hose pipe which goes to a rain water bucket that I've put beneath my drain pipe. The other end goes to a sprinkler. Super simple system that took only a day to set up, so I highly recommend something similar for all you absent gardeners.
No vigilante justice required. Just make the companies liable for the damage they cause when their products turn into a botnet.

Why can't products have a "declaration of security", like they have for EMI compatibility, safety standards and other such things? Declare that the manufacturer has taken reasonable steps to make the device secure and is liable for damage if that turns out to be untrue.

I wonder if we could rearranged the internet as decentralised nodes exchanging topic maps which then can be queried in a p2p fashion.
We have twice as many female ancestors as male. That's not a myth. It's an uncomfortable truth.
Yes, climate change effects would probably be a more accurate analogy -- but many people are very much against carbon tax schemes so it felt best to avoid that comparison.
This is by design. It is a unbelievably high-bandwidth interface. It has strict physical limitations and it is expensive to create products that are capable of pushing those limits, thus the 16" passive cable limitation in many affordable devices.This is all kind of annoying but enables creation of devices that were not possible before, and what on earth any of this has to do with USB-C which is an entirely different signal pathway without these particular limitations is anybody's guess.

(Mostly what I cannot suffer is the fools who position these limited passive connections on the wrong damn side of the device.)

We could have website-centered search engines. You ask the question on whatsthatquote.com and find out if someone has already asked it. If yes, you have your answer, if not someone answers and no one is annoyed.
Stack overflow does that. You don't get ridiculed for asking a quesiton on so that has already been asked on another website you don't know of.

I guess that would be the age of smaller communities centerd around a few websites only? Maybe, I don't know if we can consider google as enabling a real global community as of today. I pretty much browse around the same websites. Anything I want to find without a precise source of information in mind, I use google and stumble upon ads and ads and sometimes ads, but rarely an answer.

I sometimes still search stuff manually browsing through websites indexes. Some things are difficult to find with keywords. Equations of which the name you forgot. Movies with a plot so generic billions of result would be associated with it on a search engine. That piece of music of which you could write the notes on a sheet but don't remember the title.
The first reference quite explicitly says "number of copies each book sold over the last 50 years."

Sales is an approximation for readership. The second source also claims "figures may incorporate populations of secular/nominal adherents".

So, while I agree that populations that identify with Christianity may be larger, it's pretty obvious a lot of those do not observe the rituals the religions they identify with specify.

To get a better readership proxy, perhaps, one could use the share in sales of religious texts across the different demographics.

Then we need to also define what "read" means. Does it mean the book was read cover to cover or does it mean the book is read from occasionally? Religious texts are used in very different ways than other forms of literature, to the point comparison borders the questionable.
So all those many hundreds of thousands of VM hosts out there deployed in production, running their hypervisors from USB must be failing left right and centre... or not.
I am just wondering here - why does not the bus stop have the digital schedule set up? Is it normal for Canada?
Yes it seems we agree on that. :)

> The part you chose to not quote is rather important "we need to find a way to use it without breaking anything". So i don't think the precaution should be zero.

To clarify: my point was by saying "we need to find a way to use it," you've already ruled out the possibility that further scientific study will rule out its use entirely. I'm not saying this is the most likely outcome, just that this outcome was conspicuously and unexplainedly excluded from consideration.
> the fact that there were no consequences for the ad

It was obviously a joke. No reasonable person would not see that.
Their brand of sarcasm is one of the most overused, obnoxious sorts of comment found on the internet.

"Oh, right, because <inverted quippy opinion that they think is self-evidently correct instead of just writing an actual response>!"
Not only that, but they worked!
they removed youtube and spotify integration.
The real spanner in that works is that he wrote the same "notes" twice. It may be that it is his go to, but he has at least measured its impact and rehearsed it. Having a go to may well be a time management strategy.

It is also something that can be prepared by other people, considering that another commenter has pointed out that he comes from a political family, it could be that this was prepared for him for exactly this purpose.

It could simply be the genius of the political machine. When you have systems and multiple people in place, it's hard to assess individuals. Clearly someone is, we just don't know who. But from that perspective, the representatives are often not where the intellectual heavyweights with the real decision making either.
Very true with the company having shitty managers living in old ages, imposes the brainless day to day activities like updating number excel sheets instead of on focusing on actual work. ++ for office politics.
Good luck enforcing something like that.

The picture painted by the article seems very comparable to the picture painted in many other countries. It picks out church and community as a mitigating factor. The common factor has been the destruction, intentionally or otherwise, of other group resources that gave friendship and interaction. Those have been mostly replaced by individuals acting individually, without the community and interaction benefit. Isolation is a very unsurprising consequence, even if it was unintended.

I name the two I did as they, famously, started the neoliberal revolution that the world has been trying the last few decades. That came a few years later to Canada as Trudeau was in power in the early 80s.

Maybe your website is not popular enough. I had a website a few years ago (not anymore) and since then I receive about one call per week of "Microsoft" employees asking me to install some backdoor software.
How do you consider these observations to say anything about the topic of this sub-thread?

I thought it obvious, but the first hypothesis from the OP:

I'm not convinced that the government can get a better rate

From the data:

Single payer system countries have far lower costs for similar if not better outcomes.

The other hypothesis:

I think the real reason in Japan might be that costs are low because there is more competition due to more private doctors

From the data:

Japan has dramatically lower costs than the US, while having a radically different system far more similar to 'Medicare for all'. The far more private doctors comment was I think addressing irrational concerns that private healthcare would somehow disappear under medicare for all (instead of just being a lot cheaper). Japan is the proof that doesn't have to be the case.
If AWS can't figure out the answers to these questions by themselves, maybe they should ask Microsoft as they implemented it in Azure a long time ago.
"It's using known default credentials for IoT devices to log in and kill the system"
