This has come up again because a terrorist attacked the center of the capital Vienna.

The thing that makes this so incredibly ridiculous, is that the authorities actually knew the person tried to attend a IS training camp in Syria. They stopped him. So they knew very well about his intentions. Then a nearby state Slovakia told the Austrian authorities that this person was there and bout ammunition. The Austrian authorities did not further investigate and at the end he went to the center of Vienna and started shooting at people. The thing is, he also showed pictures on instragram or facebook with him holding guns.

Now the EU representatives demand more censorship and want to end End-To-End encryption for the state by implementing a general key so that they can see any kind of encrypted messages. The proposed law also demands from platforms to implement a sort of filter to remove any kind of uploads that might be IP or maybe even offensive.

I actually really like the ideology behind the EU. I think growing together and bringing the states together to strengthen the EU is great. But what is happening right now is pure authoritarian act that will hit anyone for the failure of authorities that would have had enough information and power from the beginning.
I think I remember being told that pilots needed ten years flying experience before they were even allowed to attempt this landing. That can't be a pleasant first-attempt at all.

I can imagine it must have been an incredible site from the ground.

I wonder if that landing is in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator?
I don't think illegal is the right word to describe it, especially for P2P lending. It is a new thing, and it makes sense there is no legal framework to regulate it. The government has to watch how it lays out. In fact, in the last few years, many regulations have been introduced to regulate these companies. China is run by engineers, with new challenges appear every day, the legal system will always fall behind.

UTorrent Inventor Wins Prestigious Technology Innovation Award
I agree, but for sake of discussion was this state of affairs inevitable, given 1) humans are "hostile" 2) the internet was, early on, intended to be far-reaching, ie worldwide web 3) likewise computers, since their inception, were intended to become (I'm struggling with words here...) all-powerful.

It seems like this trumps other "tools" in the arsenal like iron, which I'm sure when warlords found out about it started dreaming of taking over their world, but it was always going to be limited in ways the internet and computers aren't.
> One downside for me is that I enjoy the process of picking out all the parts ...

While that's true for me too, there turns out to be tonnes of different workstations around. Different models, generations, etc.

So, the same interest + effort in picking our parts translates pretty cleanly to investigating + figuring out the best model(s) for you, then looking for the best deal on Ebay (etc). They often have a mix of parts (various GPUs, network, etc) which are interesting to explore and choose between. :)

There were pieces of news about google accounts being blocked for being "associated" with an account that did bad things.

I think most were contractors using both their own accounts and the customer's accounts to put apps in the play store... which will associate you with random people that pay you to make an app, maybe forever?
Supposedly, a device requires an OS (such as Windows Mobile), which supposedly costs money, and does not have telemetry. Microsoft added telemetry to Windows because it is lucrative (up to the point they were giving Windows 10 away). To get rid of that, what we need is legislation, and then hold these corporations such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple accountable.
These bits of litigation are interesting, but my usual takeaway is a mild contempt for the whole thing.

Whether it's something minor like this or a major antitrust cases (eg, the recent adwords EU case), what is and isn't legally actionable seems arbitrary from a non-legal perspective. Even legislation efforts like european "cookie laws" and such seem bumbling and naive.

What's the legal fix to this, assuming google lose? An extra tick box? T&C update?

The reality of interacting with large software companies as a consumer doesn't lend well to brick and mortar analogies. A T&C section is not analogous to a rental contract. Even residential or employment contracts are usually subject to legal filters... cultural norms at least.

The "problem" here is one of structure. Google own android to (a)dominate the mobile phone market and (b) support the targeted ads business, the main business.

Whether or not google are "stealing" data allowance from customers, or acquiring this right voluntarily/contractually from customers is interesting in the abstract, I guess. In is so peripheral to the actual problem though.

I realize this case isn't supposed to be dealing with the wider problems of legal monopolies. The legal/legislative whole is. It seems that whatever the goal of the action (from litigation to legislation or regulation), they pick around the irrelevant edges.

What, legally, should google be legally allowed to do given that it's leveraging the fact that they control your phone, own a lot of your data, etc. If the answer is whatever the T&Cs say, the answer is "everything."
> By the way, if you insist that capitalist economies are distributed, how would you explain the extreme concentration of capital in a few hands? The global markets are ultimately controlled by a handful of people.

You can't equate current-day "capitalism" with "free market capitalism". We live under state-regulated, corporatist economy, which is designed to concentrate power in the hands of big corporations that are associated with the state.

That said, even in a "free market capitalist" system you'd expect concentration of wealth, for the reason that any competitive system presents an exponential distribution of performance in the outcomes. What you wouldn't expect, however, is that the concentration of wealth would be so skewed as we have in a corporatist economy.

On the top of that, inequality on itself is not a problem. I'd argue it's a necessity if you want to be able to create wealth, as it's a side-effect of the incentives associated with competition (as stated above). In other words, inequality is not so much of an issue if the whole of the economy is producing more wealth, which in one way or another becomes distributed as it increases productivity. In the end, the real matter is poverty -- but from all solutions we can think on how to solve that problem, centralization and bureaucracy (here meaning: a state) seem to be the worst of all. In my personal opinion, localism (meaning: acting in the smaller community scale, as opposed to central control) and voluntaryism (meaning: the ethics of voluntary associations, as opposed to coercion) are the keys to set us up to help each other and eradicate poverty.

Well, it also took a long time before it became a technology that actually worked. Working in telco, I remember seeing video call demonstrations as early as the 1990s, and it was also touted as a killer feature for 3G. But in the end it was Skype that made it mainstream starting ~2010, and to massive telco displeasure it did so by going "over the top" and using any old Internet connection instead of the pay-per-minute premium rate video call the telcos would dearly have loved to force you in to. In not a few countries like the UAE, OTT video calls like Skype were in fact banned at their behest -- and it appears the ban was only (partly) lifted this very year thanks to COVID!

Right. But as a proponent of open devices, neither Google/Android nor Microsoft got me there, because their policies were similar towards the customer, if anything MS was leaning heavier towards the walled garden approach of iOS.

It's using dependencies without understanding them which is apparently the norm these days, and this really grinds my gears.
What we need is the largest tech companies broken into smaller pieces.

The de facto monopoly of most of these players exists in their cross-border market share, making enforcement under traditional antitrust law in any one country difficult.

Unfortunately, it's also something of an international zero sum game due to efficiences of scale -- if the US breaks up Amazon, Alibaba gains world market share, and we're back in the same place.

The most effective remedy I can think of offhand is government involvement in a special, independent branch of the company, dedicated to increasing interoperability and exposing services, empowered by legislation.

If we're going to have monopolies, at least they can be open ones. E.g. 18F + Google Takeout, backed up by regulation

I do not. Becoming dependent on a large e-mail provider is only because of continued willful ignorance.

Better education for how digital services work and how to properly handle your digital identity is the right way to handle this. Implementing regulation and cementing the "major" e-mail providers who have the resources to comply will only deepen people's dependence on these corporations.

I see the point about dots, commas and colons being helpful. I just used them in the previous sentence for readability!

On the other hand, I worked exclusively in C-like languages until about five years ago (I almost exclusively use Python now) and I made the opposite observation. In English articles, indented lists and paragraph breaks really pop, helping me understand the structure of what I'm reading at a first glance. When I realized Python's whitespace gives me the same thing, I find it hard to go back to curly braces defining blocks unless there's an additional convention of whitespace-indentation on top.
No, it's not. But a) for some reason, most vocal people are the one doesn't like any change at all (how many times we see posts and coments glorifying Windows 2000 ui as a pinnacle of UI design?) and b) this site become a copy of slashdot from the start of the century, just with reversed roles of Apple and Micro$$oft - it's just fashionable to dump at anything Apple related.

Not that Big Sur doesn't have it design problems (at least from the screenshots from the first beta onward, I didn't tried it yet). And to be honest, even without Jony Ive, my impression is that designers still more care how the product will look on screenshots than in real use. But it's hardly just an unusable piece of shit that majority of comments here implies.

I agree with the general premise of this article that gmail/outlook/facebook owns too much power being able to lock you down with no due process.

However, for random sites, entering an email/password worries me because I have no idea how this password is handled server side, is it stored in plaintext or with a weak algorithm? The vast majority here don't care that much because they use a password manager but I'm worried about the ones that don't, they can be impacted if there is a database leak or if the site owner is shady and starts looking through its database for passwords that look reusable and try them on other important website. How easy would it be to set a nice honeypot website that requires a username/password?

A properly set up google sign in makes it impossible to do that at least. Thoughts?

Technically email becomes the skeleton key regardless. And that is dependent upon at least one third party: domain registrars. And possibly email providers too.

Because then everything is not a file, it's either a stream-based file or a record-based file. So you don't have a uniform API for everything.

The answer here has been obvious for many years. Clearly, there is a conflict of interest in having an organization interested in selling ads to also make one of the worlds most widely used operating systems.

There was definitely a free video call with the grandkids sort of thing going on. But I'm not sure how common it was in general. I certainly never did personal video calls.
