Article 19, Trusted flaggers

2.

The status of trusted flaggers under this Regulation shall be awarded, upon application by any entities, by the Digital Services Coordinator of the Member State in which the applicant is established, where the applicant has demonstrated to meet all of the following conditions:

(a) it has particular expertise and competence for the purposes of detecting, identifying and notifying illegal content;

(b) it represents collective interests and is independent from any online platform;

(c) it carries out its activities for the purposes of submitting notices in a timely, diligent and objective manner.

on a Single Market For Digital Services (Digital Services Act) and amending Directive 2000/31/EC

(50)

To ensure an efficient and adequate application of that obligation, without imposing any disproportionate burdens, the online platforms covered should make reasonable efforts to verify the reliability of the information provided by the traders concerned, in particular by using freely available official online databases and online interfaces, such as national trade registers and the VAT Information Exchange System, or by requesting the traders concerned to provide trustworthy supporting documents, such as copies of identity documents, certified bank statements, company certificates and trade register certificates. They may also use other sources, available for use at a distance, which offer a similar degree of reliability for the purpose of complying with this obligation. However, the online platforms covered should not be required to engage in excessive or costly online fact-finding exercises or to carry out verifications on the spot. Nor should such online platforms, which have made the reasonable efforts required by this Regulation, be understood as guaranteeing the reliability of the information towards consumer or other interested parties.

Not sure about your third point yet, I've only briefly jumped around in the (lengthy) full text.
Being anti-"journalist" isn't the same as being pro-authoritarian.

99% of institutional journalists are sockpuppets for prog neoliberal authoritarianism. I can think of a single-digit number of well-known journalists who I actually respect and generally expect to provide useful/unbiased information. This isn't a left/right authoritarian/libertarian thing - anti-corpo-journalist sentiment is pretty widely shared across the spectrum.
There's a strong argument to be made for police accountability and conduct. But this post seems to complete ignore the actions of demonstrators and the journalists (often self-proclaimed and self-employed) embedded within them. Look at the disparity between Portland and Minneapolis with respect to the rest of the country: New York has 20 times the population yet only half the journalist arrests. Portland has the same number of journalist arrests and New York but only 1/12th the population. These are order-of-magnitude differences, in cities that happened to have widespread rioting.

And from a more firsthand perspective, I can say that in my hometown of the Seattle metro I never had witnessed the same level of chaos. Armed demonstrators cordoned off a several blocks of the city and declared it off limits to police, and successfully did so for almost a month. Thus is something I have never witnessed before. Nor have I ever witnessed widespread looting outside of Seattle. I live in Bellevue and stores across the street from single family homes were being looted. I saw people walking out of Bellevue Square mall with stolen stuff in broad daylight as though it was completely normal. Neither of these were things I witnessed during the Michael Brown protests or other demonstrations against police conduct.

Both the data and my lived experiences indicate a correlation between more extreme behavior among protestors and more arrests. If we could point to demonstrable differences in the criteria police use for arrests you may have a point. But presently I see little reason to conclude that the disparity in arrests in 2020 are due to policing changes rather than the behavior of demonstrators.
Well if a company wants to give a large sum of money to an open source project for a feature, say a hundred dollars, or a thousand then it is the same. Electronic cash, i.e. bitcoin work better than the traditional ways of payment when there is a necessity for crowdfunding a little bit of money less than a penny, a 1/10 of a penny or 1/100, or 1/1000, from thousands of users. The reason bitcoin works better in that case, is because bitcoin is absolutely automated while in traditional payment systems a human is required to oversee the payments in case there is a fraud somewhere. That means a human is required to be paid, and humans are expensive to employ. That increases the cost of every transaction, as well as increases the minimal amount of the transferable value.
Grafana is one of the easiest internal services to host.

They follow the 12-factor app principles, provide a ready-to-use docker image, support various auth providers ( my company uses GitHub), integrates well with AWS IAM, etc.

As someone else said here, you just have to use RDS to store the state.
Definitely. And again, not saying there aren't issues here, just that we are moving to a more citizen based journalism model, and by doing that we are increasing the number of journalists 10x, and with this comes some interesting change in journalism itself.

These journalists are (1) harder to identify, (2) have a different relationship to the news in that they aren't traveling to cover a news event, they are local citizens concerned about an outcome and documenting an event that often, then are emotionally strongly connected to, and (3) there is no governing body or corporate rules or sponsors that make their actions understandable and predictable.

Citizen journalism gives me more valuable insight into what is happening on the streets, though it takes more work on my part to sort through and develop my own narrative. I mostly discount the narrative journalists apply and try to figure out the facts from the material presented (except when I am consuming opinion pieces, where my explicit goal is to evaluate someone's narrative and viewpoint). I think this model holds some promise, though I am concerned that the sheer volume of material makes this untenable except the privileged few who have the time or mental space to through it all. Also, traditional media sources are just buying up these videos and accounts rather than sending their own crews, so we are already seeing this stuff applied nationwide, regardless whether someone views it on twitter or reads about it on a news website.
They say, it is a temporary place holder name.
If you think this, you live in an extremely progressive bubble.
> We are also collaborating with AWS on its new Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, built on the Cortex project for running Prometheus at scale.

That's even more exciting news.

But this also must have major implications for Grafana Labs, since selling hosted prometheus is also a part of their business.

I fail to understand how your particular case works. Not having a horse in the race but just a piece of paper you don't care about doesn't help you to make a point, which is what exactly?
It's mostly technology workers, who tend to be largely liberal. Are you sure it's conservative?
dang often points to a previous discussion of the same article. As this BBC article was created four hours ago, that seems unlikely.

If there are two discussions of the same event, dang sometimes adds a comment to the smaller discussion pointing to the larger one.

If neither of those are true... what, exactly, do you want him to do?
Making CMOS sensors from scratch is very much not a thing for a thrifty startup to achieve...

Yet submitting a design to a commercial fab and saying "make it curved plz" isn't likely to work either.

So how is this done?
In Europe, even before the GDPR, but especially after it, this would be illegal. It's personally identifiable information and tracking it requires consent.

Private investigators - not sure how legal that is around here and what are the constraints.

Example - for a job application I recently needed a background check by a US company. As soon as I filled out my current location as a European country, a consent form popped up. They can't go sniffing around even in the public records and compile stacks of background info on people at the scale a company does this.

Lots of things are public outdoors only with the common sense understanding that it's ephemeral, is just remembered by people's imperfect memory and won't be meticulously categorized and stored somewhere, unless there is consent. Now, you can make small scale notes and a personal journal about whom you got to know at a party etc. You can take tourist shots and have random people in the pictures but you can't follow people around and photograph them specifically as the main subject of the photo without their consent. Public figures and officials like the police don't have such privacy rights on duty.

It's about the scale of it, and common sense judgment of whether it systematic data collection or something just happening normally as life goes on. But I'm not a lawyer, I'm just describing the broad principle.

The law and people's intuition may be different in the US.

If you don't like this, think about another example: hitting/patting your friend on the back as banter or congratulations or something. How strongly do I have to hit them to commit assault? What if it's my frail grandma? Intent, scale and common sense matter. There is no law saying the exact amount of force I am allowed to apply.
There are also other factors at play. I don't necessarily think that age alone has that influence. What about the increased network connectivity we have around us and the plethora of devices which carry that data? We're finding our validation through sites like HN instead of finding a human who shares our interests.
In my understanding, AWS is selling the service and the hosting while Grafana is selling the software. AWS is the distributore of the software and it is paying a reasonable fee to Grafana.

IF this is the case, this is a HUGE step forward for OSS.

It is a clear and simple way for OS to monetize software, while AWS keep focusing on what it does best, operations.

This ensure long term sustainability of software and hefty profit margin for the operators.

Win-Win!
I encountered this error a few weeks ago while trying to convert a folder of .webp files to .png. God, I love Bash.
I agree with your point, I just think it's inherent people will care more about other people they're regularly in contact with. Reporters' friends are other reporters by and large, just like my friends are largely other tech folks.
I'm shocked, but I get a sense there are more conservatives here than ever before. Or maybe they were always here but now find themselves less prone to self-censorship.

I've been reading HN since the late 2000s and only noticed this post-election. It always seemed as if HN was incredibly liberal. Now there are conservative-leaning voices and opinions cropping up everywhere that are being upvoted as top comments.

I'm seeing a markedly conservative shift in tone.

I'm not saying this is good or bad, but it feels new.
Yep. We've seen bugs with different window managers so WebRender is only enabled in Gnome in 84 to minimize the risk of breakage. This restriction will be removed in subsequent releases.
> what exactly is 'economically illiterate'. i cant take anything you wrote seriously until you explain this made up word

Have you heard of financial literacy or scientific literacy? Economic literacy is similar. I am using the English language in a very straightforward manner.

> the notion that high taxes will somehow benefit the state is a very ill thought out plan.

Who said anything about increasing total state revenue? After Prop 13 passed, a big chunk of the state revenue was tied up in propping up local governments. By undoing the damage of this highly regressive policy, the state will have the ability to reduce regressive taxes and even income taxes. It will also encourage development (new property developers will no longer be disadvantaged vs. existing landowners), bringing in more money (and reducing blight) and reducing the need to tax individual earners even more.
Except it doesn't run in any of your VPC's.
What point was that? I just asked you a question.
> I don't know many people who care about the hardware except for the camera.

These phones are not for many people.

> How is it?

In development. The pinephone can take still shots. The Librem 5’s camera isn’t functional yet AFAIK.

> Can it compete with the current phones from Apple and Google?

No. It’s not playing the same game. I would pay money not to have one of those.

> Does it do all the standard things like include filters, portrait mode, night mode, etc...?

AFAIK, no.

> Can I search for "dog" and get all my dog photos or search for a city and get all the photos taken there?

I don’t know of any apps for them that do that at the moment.

> And how's the app store? When some random game goes viral and I want to play with my friends, am I going to be able to?

Probably not. It probably has about 6 orders of magnitude fewer users, and 5–6 orders fewer devs. You can virtualize Android, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a much worse experience than Proton on desktop (it doesn’t have Valve behind it. Anti-cheat might get you banned).

> Are the apps vetted for security and safety?

Yes, in some repos. Most of the distros will let you use Debian’s, which IIUC have had z-e-r-o zero malware (not counting systemd ;)) in their decades-long history.

> Does it integrate with my car? One of the primary uses of my phone is for navigation. Being able to plug it into my car and say "navigate to 123 main street" as I drive is pretty key.

I’m confused why it needs to integrate with you car to give directions. Do you mean connect with Bluetooth to use your speakers?

> Is their store only online?

Yep.

> If they don't have their own retailers can I at least see them at a carrier store or BestBuy?

Nope.

> Will Verizon activate the phone on their network? A decade ago they wouldn't approve the Nexus 7 tablet, so this is something I think about.

Nope, not as far as my crystal ball can see. The pine wiki says you can activate a SIM on a burner phone and swap it into the pinephone, and Verizon shouldn’t care.
Interesting points, thank you.

The cloud service could communicate with the local device's client through a separate connection though that the client opens with that cloud service, no need to do this via the local JS.

The only benefit I could think of would be that it makes it easier to correlate the local client with the authenticating user, but you could just have a token that you make part of the URL the client visits. Also it doesnt fully solve the correlation problem either, on the same computer, two clients could run under two different OS level accounts. Will it just send its authentication token to one of those clients? There is no user separation on Windows or Linux. I only know about Chrome OS having user separation at the port level.

Is almond milk an improvement with regards to environmental impact, though? Almonds are a very resource-intensive crop, and in my experience there’s a lot of waste involved when making almond milk.
But above average in what? I would say that a significant portion of my career success has been luck. I know several people whom I consider much better (and smarter) at many (most) aspects of what I do, but have not had the same career. That missed out, due to circumstance, luck, sometime some aspect of their personality etc..

So yes having a successful career (i.e. an above average career) in a field might only mean that one is above average at having a successful career. A pretty circular conclusion.
cow are ruminants. they are not meant to be fed seaweed. they turn grass and sunshine into protein and fat.

https://extension.umn.edu/dairy-nutrition/ruminant-digestive...

[..]The rumen (on the left side of the animal) is the largest stomach compartment and consists of several sacs. It can hold 25 gallons or more of material depending on the size of the cow. Because of its size, the rumen acts as a storage or holding vat for feed. Aside from storage, the rumen is also a fermentation vat.[..]

we get milk because their stomachs are basically fermentation vats. if cows dont fart, they are not rumen. what are we doing?

Like, started from the local filesystem? I see they have a "Notebook Server," is that what you mean by "locally," rather than starting it from clicking an e.g. "jupyter.html" file?

To their credit, it doesn't seem to use Node, and configuration via .py files tells me maybe they have some lightweight server thing that makes it a bit more manageable as a single-user app than via Node or Electron and friends.

Anyway, I have a project I have been wanting to be completely self-contained in an HTML file, but that gives me CORS problems, so now I'm thinking maybe the Jupyter posse has implemented a nice compromise I can use.
Because the virus particles travel on other things, and those other things are big enough to get blocked.
I like Weave Cloud’s Prometheus hosting model — it’s per host, which is predictable and forecastable.
What do you mean by not native? What bugs do you see?
I find that I can have more specialized 'talks' with strangers over the internet rather than with actual people who I've known for years.
Just think of all the unionized government jobs all this compliance work will create!

I can already see politicians congratulating one another for creating all these jobs!
They are employees.
The whole internet has slowly been shifting that way it seems.

During the Anonymous era and Snowden leak era HN and the internet seemed much more anti-authoritarian.
In general, US law makes little distinction, and with good reason---the easiest way to curtail freedom of the press would be to give government the authority to declare some citizen's aren't really press.
FTA: “While we recognize the importance and the rights of the private citizen who snaps a photo or video of an arrest, this site will only cover individuals who self-identify as journalists and have some track record of journalistic work.“
There's a slight difference on what is required by a medical professional and by someone just commuting. Sure, one could always do better, but reusable masks are adequate.
My understanding is that almond milk is not good, but is far better than cow's milk. Oat milk supposedly has the least impact. See the chart in the article I linked in up-thread.
If you're already using setjmp/longjmp I would suspect you are also already using an arena or avoiding heap allocations, so I don't know if it would specifically be a problem for memory leaks with defer.
Looks like there are two steps to this tool:

1) Fetch data and put into a sql db
2) Query sql db

Wouldn't it be better, performance aside, if there was just one step, i.e. querying the cloud with SQL, essentially an SQL-to-cloud-APIs interface. Otherwise you're always operating on out-of-date data.
This comment is much more inflammatory than it needs to be.

What was the person filming arrested for? I know many in Seattle were arrested for violating curfews or dispersal orders, and proceeded to claim that they were arrested for filming. They weren't arrested for filming, they were arrested because they harbored ill-conceived views that declaring oneself a journalist exempted them from curfews and orders to disperse and proceeded to violate them.
It was a dispersal order to leave a riot so the crowd can be controlled, not an order to stop filming. There’s no other legal and humane way to deal with rioters amongst a crowd. Even if you aren’t being violent or breaking anything, you have to leave when told to do so.
Then you're probably following a losing strategy. "Team" doesn't have to mean "generic normie political party"; there are other team dynamics at play. In any case, if you haven't partitioned the political space into allies and enemies along at least a few planes, you're probably going to get taken advantage of (at the very least).
> "Small fries" and 24%...

Everythings relative. You've got to start somewhere.

> Anyway you're right but it's like, how would any of this concretely improve competition?

I don't think this is just about competition. There has to be a recognition that social networks etc are natural monopolies, it's very hard to have competition there. Regardless of HNs utopian view of open protocols and distributed and federated social networks, the reality is that it's just not gonna happen.

So a I feel a big part of these laws isn't about creating competition, it's about making sure that mega-corporations like Facebook can't amase more power than democratically elected governments. These law make it clear that if you get to big, the EU will step in and make sure you're operating in line with their ideals, not the other way around.
The press doesn't get any special privileges. The law doesn't make a distinction between press and not press.

Certain organizations may get special privileges (press passes), but there's nothing legally binding about them. S citizen journalist is still a journalist under the law.
Very easy to give it another name
It's still coercion, if that's the purpose. I'm not suggesting we not educate people.

I am suggesting that the attempt of suppressing reproduction within a particular demographic, no matter the incentive or perceived "good" that results (cash or education), is walking a very fine line.
