The protests are related to regulations for nitrogen emissions, not greenhouse gases. So it's not related to this "demise" nonsense. And if there should be a demise -- well, the Dutch contribution to global GHG emissions is almost negligible these days. As for nitrogen emissions, these have more than halved since 1990. We could still do better, but if Dutch agricultural production moves abroad it will certainly be replaced by dirtier production methods. Net result globally will be negative, even if we manage to protect Dutch Natura2000 areas.
> I am not a lawyer, but this seems like very bad advice.

That's kind of my point. Millions of people have been employed by companies with similar policies, and undoubtably many of them chose to ignore the "correct" legal moves because it's just easier. If Google really wanted to screw people over, they could, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I don't suppose there's any more information on how remote attestation works? (Ideally something an idiot like me could comprehend).

I can't understand how, if the company has control of the code running there, they can't just modify it to report as the known good code. It seems like it'd be slightly different from the DRM example where the end user can't access the code running in the enclave in the first place and doesn't know what it'd be reporting back.
And that’s all anecdotal. I posted a citation where Roku is getting literally millions from advertising. If the TV manufacturer gets $25 from Roku that’s 5% of the total cost of $500 65 inch TV.

You don’t have to subscribe to anything for the TV manufacture to make money. When you buy the Roku TV with 4 hardcoded buttons to streaming services that’s $4 by itself. Not to mention that half the home screen on a Roku has advertising and unlike computers they aren’t easily blocked.

Not really. It's more like they have an army of lawyers paid so they can claim GDPR compliance, and delay/suppress or negotiate deals for years (if not decades) anything that comes up to say their not.

That being said, apparently there are already ongoing legal cases around GDPR complaints for MS. No idea how those will end up.

Yes, that's a one more reason to trust Cloudflare and Google over a nobody service since their motives with their free DNS services (including DoH and DNS over TLS) relate more to having up-to-date synchronization, load balancing, etc.. with the servers they host themselves. Spying on users via DNS queries by Cloudflare or Google is kind of a joke that can bait only the ignorant. Cloudflare terminates TLS connections and even issues TLS certs and can "theoretically" see every sensitive data that can compromise both businesses and users and yet they are trusted by countless public companies and startups alike. The same thing if not more for Google for their own ervices or their GCP business.

Will this make it easier to run docker without root / sudo?

That could fix the barrier of entry and make docker tutorials passed around more canonical. I would love it if docker "just worked" across machines when testing locally, commands and all.

Even sharing docker in open source projects, there's a learning curve for me where commands in the README won't work. Is it my docker installation? Version differences with docker? Docker compose? Did the container images I'm pulling in change some way?

Do I need sudo or not? I guess with proper group permissions I'm okay - but will the developer(s) I share instructions with have these permissions ready to go?

On StackOverflow: copy/pasting docker CLI (even given proper context fitting into a larger whole) commands and configs probably has a 50% success rate for commands, and maybe 10% if it's a config of some sort (e.g. compose files)
The goal is to see how you approach thinking about it and conducting your initial research. The solution is irrelevant, and falling back to "well we won't do that at work!!" is missing the point.

If you're the type of person who freaks out when we discuss the possibility of using a new tech you're unfamiliar with, I don't want to work with you.

Depending on the particular language and platform, it can be quite dangerous to use recursion in production software due to the risk of a stack overflow. To be safe you have to first determine analytically that this can never happen. For algorithms that manipulate tree data structures it's often safer to avoid real recursion and instead sort of simulate recursion using a list or stack data structure allocated on the heap. At least that gives you a better opportunity to fail gracefully if the input data is too large to process within your resource constraints.

This is not some arcane magic here. This is making companies responsible for the vetting of their suppliers. Do you know how hard it would be for Apple to check out a mining operation? A plane trip and a few days of a couple people's time. That's fucking it. That is NOTHING to a company like Apple, it would barely be a rounding error in their budget.

And if the mine is in the midst of a warzone and you can't be sure if they aren't using prisoners or children? Then find a different goddamn mine.

It’s actually a California law that the company can’t own what you do on your own time with your own equipment.

Further, I’ve gone through this process with two employers. All I did was disclose what I was doing and they set limitations on MY EMPLOYMENT at their company. So they wouldn’t take the IP, just they may not continue to employ me. The limitation was simply that “I couldn’t willfully help competitors to the company” then they listed a few industries. This was true for two fortune 100 companies I worked for.

I do not know the details, but it is my understanding that the Netherlands exports a large amount of its agricultural production. One could say, let's only produce what we need, and methane production will go down. However, if that was done, all of the countries that rely on the Netherlands for agricultural imports would need to increase production or find somewhere else that would. There is no guarantee that using country level caps will improve anything.

Unless I'm missing something, maybe it would be better to assign the emission penalty of a product to the consumer rather than the producer?

What we really need is a legislation for those devices, that force all manufacturer to:

- have a hardware switch for everything

- have 2 microphones. One is always on, and only listens to the keyword, and is not linked to the rest of the device. If it detects the keyword, it triggers a hardware switch that activate the second microphone.

- text recognition is done from a local unit, not a remote server. This local unit analyse the voice then send proper commands to the rest of the device, but never share the words, and cannot receive data from the rest of the hardware except during signed updates.

- all devices share a stanadrd color code for a mandatory indicator light giving the state of it and a standard activation/confirmation sound

- all devices must be able to be controlled from a provided remote with a button instead of a keyword, which can be deactivated

- all devices must have a BT kill switch, if a phone send a signal saying "I don't want to be listened to", the device will no activate.

- any data sent to server must be encrypted from the client with a key the server doesn't have

And once it's done, do something similar for phones, e-health devices, etc.

I think people who expect Home Assistant to be useful to the general consumer are delusional. Home Assistant is an amateur piece of software with severe UX shortcomings and broken auto-update functionality (it phones home continuously and often bricks itself after auto-updates).

Fair enough. This is definitely a personal thing though.

This is true regardless of how much money you have. You're always going to be able to add some more income by performing labour, even if your investments outperform your labour after a point.
