>> " so would only come into force after the Brexit transition period has ended."

> Well so this isn't going to do anything for 40 years.

I wish, but it's pretty clear the brexit transition period is ending 17 days whether the UK is ready or (more likely) not.

> I feel that this is very open to abuse especially with this example provided

Not sure how else you could manage this. If you don't put this stipulation you'll end up with the privacy equivalent of the double-Irish. Where a smaller EU country either writes the weakest version of the law they can get away with, or just turns a blind eye to abuse, and uses that to attract companies like Facebook to move their "HQ" there.

> I get the feeling although this law started with the right idea it is being used as an excuse for law enforcement to expand their reach, without actually helping people.

Not sure how this is an example of a regulator expanding their reach. If a regulator has the authority to regulate the housing in a city, why should they not be able to force companies that help people actively flout their regulation to turn over details on those flouters.

In the EU there's a cross-border agreement to help police identify car owners for speeding tickets etc. Is that also an over reach?
Vanilla reputation systems don't optimize for "validity"; rather, they optimize for consensus--whatever opinions are popular get hyper-reinforced in tight feedback loops. If you believe that our society is irredeemably racist, then a vanilla reputation system will optimize for racism. Basically, the reputation system can't dictate what is valid--that has to be determined outside of the reputation system. In other words, set a clear, objective standard for "valid" content and use a reputation system that holds moderators accountable to that external definition of "validity".

"It was basically useless"

Could you elaborate and perhaps point towards what makes you think this way?

I ask because I have worked in a rather large corporation which had to implement massive changes to ensure they were being more respectful and careful towards user data. In my experience, the GDPR made them take it seriously which was otherwise ignored as it allowed them to profit off being negligent about these things.

Also, it's a bit like food handling and storage related regulations for restaurants. While it might seem like a pain for the guy running the restaurant, it helps reduce the risk the consumers could otherwise face.
I agree, I have used Grafana for a few years and it requires very little effort. However, the dashboards I use are static and I don't back it with a RDBMS because of this. I suppose there is more value for users who plan to have more complicated configurations or want to give others the ability to build ad-hoc dashboards.
That's not my experience. I've reported this to him on two occasions, with screenshots and detailed descriptions of how the UX had regressed.

The second one I'm still waiting for a reply.

I would love for Dash 5 to fix these issues still, and I would upgrade in a heartbeat, but as it stands, I'm stuck with Dash 4.

The issues are:

1. Dash 4's sidebar shows significantly more hits when searching, making it a lot easier to find what you were looking for, compared to the "omnibar" of Dash 5:

https://i.imgur.com/smuNFws.png vs https://i.imgur.com/SeTShSL.png

2. Dash 4 shows/loads the currently selected search immediately, requiring no extra step. Dash 5 requires the user to press enter to confirm the search. This is especially frustrating when triggering a search from an editor

> essentially everyone consumes porn

I'd be interested in how much of "everyone" this "essentially everyone" actually is.

Maybe I'm an outlier, but my appetite for porn pretty well went away once I was in a committed relationship, and especially since I've been married.

Could also just be that I'm getting old, but there are an awful lot of people older than me, which would also suggest that "essentially everyone" is not actually "everyone"

Watching the phrase "fake news" become coopted to mean "news unfavorable about Trump" instead of literally "false information" was one of the more depressing aspects of the 2016 election.
None of my family have ever resided in the EU either.

It's well-known that there's a lot of oil left. The problem is that it's becoming increasingly less accessible and thus more expensive to extract.
"...court systems are moving slowly due to the pandemic..."

They were moving slowly even before the pandemic. In some places the difference between trial wait times pre/post covid shutdowns is 18 months now being 24 months.

I'm associated with a case that was a summary offense issued in August. It's been continued twice (not related to covid) and won't be heard until January at the earliest. This is at a magistrate level which is supposed to provide quicker resolution than the "real" courts.

I recently made my own oat "milk" and it was surprisingly tasty, too. I'd like to switch to it completely but haven't had the time to find the perfect recipe for us.

I can get behind the idea that a large portion of the population occasionally consumes porn, but I have no idea where you're getting this statement that the majority is very against sex work.

And why do you think that they consume it with "no shame"? Or that they don't want to pay for it?
From the pricing section:

"do, it’s also why democracy is such a big thing"

Voters of France and Netherlands strongly rejected the treaty upon which the EU derives is legitimacy. Referendums were cancelled elsewhere.

Ursula von der Leyen did not receive any votes, she wasn't even part of the process, she was an unknown German figure until after the election, when she was plucked from obscurity by actors acting in total opacity, behind closed doors: "Here is your New Leader".

I respect much of the commercial facility of the EU, but it's severely lacking in democracy.

And while I think a lot of the intentions of the current system are reasonable, a lot of it is not ... and I'm super concerned that totally unelected and unaccountable elite are just going to be smashing their big hands into the economy, with the simplistic populist notions of 'American Economic Imperialism' and a kind of anti-American jealousy just under the surface.

It'd be nice to see much more thoughtfulness here, but more importantly, mechanisms to improve European competitiveness.

I noticed this too late to edit the comment, but it should actually say "leeward" side, not "windward."
What do you think may account for the lack of take up iof oData?
COVID may stay around as an endemic, circulating virus - but at the same time, it will recede in impact.

Eventually, nearly everyone will have some level of immunity via either natural-infection-and-recovery, or explicit vaccination. (The latter is certainly better for avoiding death or serious complications.)

Even if that immunity fades somewhat with time, as seems to be the case with other 'common cold' cornoaviruses, it'll typically be re-boosted by either a mild survivable case (from circulating virus), or explicit re-vaccination. So at some point – probably no later than 2022 – people will be behaving mostly as before, because the ongoing impact of COVID will have shrunk to be similar to traditional colds/flus.
Also, why is still legal to refer to "truffle oil" as such, even if it contains 0.0% truffles?
One of the great things nerds do is take a piece of ordinary language, turn it into jargon, and then get mad at you for using it as ordinary language instead of jargon.

From now on, I say "means" means "means in ordinary language" and if you use "mean" to mean "means in jargon" you're wrong and I will get mad at you online.

I'm glad there's an exception like that. It will mean that things like a form to contact support won't require an app to list a whole bunch of data that isn't normally collected.

I think perhaps that there needs to be some better way of distinguishing how the categories work. Should anyone be surprised that Amazon needs payment details and an address to send you something?
You are part of it, so you created part of it through your birth. Once all EU citizens die, the EU dies. We can also of course end it earlier.

I'm assuming the intended use-case will be clicking on a shortcut to Github's integrated "Edit & do pull-request" function embedded in the MDN website pages, and write one's edit in the Github editor GUI, which isn't bad.

Anything closer to having to make a manual Github pull-request would be incredibly unergonomic for someone without an existing CLI setup for Github (ie. most developers).

I found this bit promising:

"Concretely, the Digital Markets Act will:

- Prohibit a number of practices which are clearly unfair, such as blocking users from un-installing any pre-installed software or apps;
"

I'm curious about what other "clearly unfair" practices they are referring tho, but this alone could have implications for potentially getting rid of bundled applications on Android phones, as an example. This assumes that the clause extends to the Android operating system as it is installed on devices made by manufacturers possibly not regulated under these Acts.
> I doubt pretty girls in ads are actually supposed to mean the goods they advertise make a man more attractive. Who (except teens) would believe that, consciously or subconsciously?

How about chewing gum and mint ads? Many try for messages that are essentially "don't get cock-blocked by your bad breath" or something similar. And they work.
A proverb I like is:

That seems awfully defeatist. Spotify is winning in music, for example. And that's certainly a case where the different languages make a big difference.

https://nshipster.com/uuid-udid-unique-identifier/

The easiest is with the identifierForVendor property of [UIDevice] which identifies that specific device for your software, but is not shared with other vendors. So you can ban Bob's iPhone across all your apps, but that ID isn't useful to other vendors.
> If it's simply "I do not know how to do X" and I ask "have you looked at Y"

This is helpful, sometimes enormously so. It may be that the only way they could have heard of Y within 2 years of facing the problem is through conversation. But once they hear the name of Y, they have something to punch into google.

> they should be encouraged to at least try to find a solution

Note that having someone _assume_ you did not try after you've spent hours of effort is also quite isolating.

People who do not first try are indeed frustrating. There is a judgement for junior engineers to learn to exercise here.

------------------------------------------

> it also robs you of a learning experience if you are always relying on other people to guide you through solving problems

Which is why this is a matter of judgement and balance, where extremes like "always" rarely apply.

> it can be exhausting for the person that has to guide you.

Very yes.
This is why it's crucial to deny without justification some honest requests from those who need help.

1) So you do not exhaust yourself.

2) So that fear of exhausting yourself doesn't push you to assume a request for help is an excuse and treat another person as if they are lazy.

------------------------------------------

> Well, that is also where the maximum reward exists - when you think something is impossible and then you discover you are able to do it.

1) If.

2) We should aim to recognise the difference between "impossible" and "unimaginably hard".

Impossible problems are a waste of time and we should not encourage people to solve them but instead to be skeptical of impossibility.

Landing a man on was impossible _until_ congress allocated money to have a lot more engineers collaborate. Then it was no longer impossible but did come with many easy, moderate, hard, and unimaginably hard problems.

3) Unimaginably hard problems don't just require focus. They also require de-focus to see odd connections. We should aim to help junior engineers recognise the difference so they wisely decide when to keep banging away and when to go for a random walk.
Also the big one, atomic and transparent updates and upgrades. I love Ubuntu (and worked there for a long time!), but no way I'm giving a mutable OS to someone unless I expect to be their sysadmin. They're one google search away from a broken computer, they can't really break chromeOS.
I don't know how to answer your dilemma that all of us face. But to add some nuance... it's pretty rare for a news organization of whatever political persuasion to report outright falsehoods. An individual reporter may stretch the truth more than we're comfortable with, but as a whole, the big news outlets are more likely to make mistakes than commit outright lies that they know are false.

Most of the bias is in deciding what stories to cover and what stories to ignore. They can't simply cover everything that happens. An organization needs to decide what stories are worthy of publishing, and how to frame these stories ("All the news that's fit to print"). And then which politicians do they want to ask questions of, and what types of questions, and that's even before deciding what experts, or "experts" or pundits or downright paid shills to comment on these stories. This is where the bias is.
The data on 110 journalists arrested comes from this source [1].

In the first three incidents listed, they are "independent journalists."

(1) One of these independent journalists asked to be identified through their Twitter handle.

Their name on Twitter is "Andy Ngo is a fascist," and their bio is "ACAB means all of 'em, including Kamala." The first handful of their tweets includes "F* the peace police" in reference to those attempting to stop violence from occurring at a protest.

This person is most certainly not a part of the press, and it is not surprising this person would be arrested, presumably for violent behavior, at a protest.

(2) Looking at other cases, many of these "independent reporters" don't seem to exist anywhere on the internet under their legal name. The first and only relevant search result is the Press Freedom Tracker website.

(3) Another one is actually a hairdresser instead, and not a reporter. No articles ever written that I can find, and on Twitter, no reference to journalism - just being a cat mom and lots of swearing about politics.

It's really disappointing to lose faith in the Press Freedom Tracker. I expected a high level of journalistic integrity, and it feels so instinctually wrong to lose trust in an organization like that, but wow.

I don't know about the US, but here in Canada not following police orders is not by itself grounds for arrest. It has to be a lawful order, not whatever the police fancies at the moment. The police cannot for example say "stop filming or I will arrest you" and be able to legally justify that arrest in the court of law.

It's the "servers are pets, not cattle" but applied to local machines. That's sort of how IT has been run for a while now, but only half-hearted and in the worst way possible.

Almost every organization I've worked with has the policy of "if you get malware, we wipe your whole machine and reinstall the gold image" which is quite disruptive because you then have to reconfigure your settings and reinstall all your software packages and regenerate SSH keys etc. It can be a whole day of downtime and then a week of slowly getting back up and running full speed.

But if your hardware and local software are irrelevant, you can just swap your dumb terminal for another dumb terminal without skipping a beat. And with things like Chromebooks or iPads (actual real dumb terminals) the likelihood of getting to a "wipe it and start over" goes down a lot compared to machines running a full-fledged OS with a privileged user account.

If you drop your Chromebook in a lake, you could run to Best Buy and get a new one for $300 and you've only lost an hour or so, and if all your data is stored in OneDrive and your IDE is Codespaces you haven't lost anything of real value.
Talk about micro climates!
The Mask is only for compliance and to make other people feeling good, thats it, thats the only usage. It is not to stop virus because it can't, unless maybe a very specific type of mask and with proper training.

I think you have the FB issue upside down. Do you think the EU is interested in 'free speech'? No, the EU want to make sure that they able to suppress language they don't like. In some cases, it's probably for the common good, but in many others ... not so much.

The EU, US and other actors definitely want FB et. al. to suppress information which they deem as 'factually innacurate' (things that can sway elections, scare people away from vaccines etc.) in addition to a few other points of interest, for example, things they deem 'hate speech' etc..

Edit:

Personally - I'm not sure how I feel about any of it really, but it's definitely not the case that either the EU is primarily to ensure 'free speech'.

Austria high court ruling for a form of censorship:

"that Facebook remove a post insulting a former Green Party leader, keep equivalent posts off its site, and do so on a global scale." [1]

And at then at the EU level: "Facebook Risks EU Court Order to Censor Hateful Posts Globally" [2]

This is the general theme of EU judicial and legislative activity.

I don't see anything really that much in the other direction.
