Consider lawful basis. Does your processing fall under the lawful basis you think it does? Who the hell knows. Making an educated guess as to what the regulators and courts will think is legal scholarship, one of the most expensive professional services money can buy. And even if you get billed for hundreds of hours of the most premium legal minds thinking about it they can still be wrong.

Words like “reasonable” and “legitimate” in the law are not something it is safe for a layperson to reason about. They have specific meanings depending on the nuances of case law, judicial understanding of legislative intent, ideological leanings of the judge you happen to draw, etc.

No company is competent at this, some just have enough money at stake and enough to spend on lawyers that they’re willing to risk it.
This is a discussion about the Overton Window moving in ways that one disagrees with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window

There was always an Overton Window and it has always been moving around. And often people (usually older people) do not like when they have opinions which are being excluded from the Overton Window when previously they were acceptable.

I find that it is best to be specific about what should be in and what should not be in the Overton Window rather than being general.

Why? Discussions of "cancel culture" seems to me to pretend to be meta discussions on whether the Overton Window should exist, but usually they are actually about whether certain topics should be within it. I find that this is a bit of a deception and used to disavow that you are unhappy with the current position of the Overton Window with regards to very specific issues, usually because if they discussed the specifics of their concern, it would actually fall outside of most people's Overton Window - thus the need to argue the meta route.
The "pro" models exist - they're just not Pi's.

Ssssh. That's blasphemy here.

Any other ARM platform mentioned here gets downvoted and shouted down with "But it's not $40!". Let them play with their toys and leave them alone.
Beyond being objectively untrue, this doesn't even come close to attempting to answer the question.
I feel like you may have a different definition of who a high level criminal is. I would consider anybody who derives significant revenue (say above $1M) from a criminal activity to count.

I'd also question how many highly hierarchical criminal organizations exist today and how many have in the recent past. Media and governments love to overemphasize the organized element for simplicity. Likewise many "terrorist organizations" aren't organized either. In practice you mostly see very lose networks that operate a lot like the rest of the economy. There may be some emergent structure but it's usually not deliberate.

> If you where a really high level criminal you wouldn't use a phone at all, you'd pass all your instructions in person to lieutenants who'd pass them on down the chain.

> This was largely how the Mob operated for decades and why RICO was created.

That would be a legal strategy not a communications security one. It may have been more feasible to proxy away legal responsibility before RICO and such.
You hardly hear about them, doesn't mean they don't exist.

SUSE is a large distribution based in Germany, in Europe they have significant inroads in government contracts.
> The vast majority of Americans understand that Black Lives Matter is an inclusive statement, not an exclusive one.

Do they? I'm not sure what leads you to think that. I have no evidence other than anecdote, but from what I see, I'm not sure that your claim is true.

>the US vaccination rollout is a shambles

Japan: You guys have vaccines?

In all honesty, this statement is fairly close to being hilariously wrong. The US vaccinates more people per day than any other country in the world. The reason why the UK has a higher per-capita vaccination rate is A) there's less of you to vaccinate, and B) the UK isn't doing two doses. The former makes the rollout easier - there are countries like Israel where they're close to vaccine herd immunity as they simply needed fewer doses. The latter is a calculated risk only somewhat supported by the available medical data. I don't expect every country to adopt First Dose First, especially if they've already given two doses to high-risk populations that would benefit from getting half their protection sooner.

Trust me, there's plenty of other things you can harangue the US about all day - vaccines aren't one of them.
It would imply the built in photo editor isn't good enough for most users.
Aside from npm bloat and the dependencies that come with that, this is pretty neat. Nice clean components, framework agnostic, no opinion on style. A good example!
> This is precisely the problem. That core will certainly get more extreme because there's no cross pollination between it and other more moderate groups.

But the question is how much? I'm highly skeptical that "cross pollination" moderates hard-core neo-Nazis to any significant degree, for instance. They might get a little more extreme in an echo chamber, but I don't think it will be that much more.

In fact, I think the "cross pollination" mainly goes the other way, by spreading extremist ideas to moderates that are vulnerable to them. Let them spread enough, and they could even become normalized.

> I would rather have more people with less extreme views than fewer people with more extreme views, because it's much more likely the more extreme people are a greater danger to society than the less extreme people.

I think the better way of thinking about this is "total quantity of extremism." You're always going to have a hard core, so the question is more about how big will that core be, and how many adjacent supporters will it have.

Let's say you keep neo-Nazis on twitter, and that leads to a hard-core that is 10% less Nazi, on average, but that's also ten times larger. You now have a far more dangerous situation on your hands.

> True, but it's more complicated than that. Extremism almost always results when you disenfranchise or ostracize a community. It's much better to integrate it so there's crossflow of information and empathy still. Dehumanizing groups of people also dehumanizes yourself.

Maybe in some cases, but not others. For instance, neo-Nazis extremists weren't created by disenfranchising some kind of "moderate" natural neo-Nazi community.
That's some extremely slow performance for all the money spent to add NVME to the Pi.

I get that there's a fun factor involved with raspberry pi stuff, but I wish the performance to price was better. I'm better off buying off-lease USFF pulls or something instead for anything I do, they cost less and generally use about the same power relative to performance.
I'm broadly in favour of any consumer protective legislation like the GDPR, but I feel that the GDPR has been misinterpreted by many, in both directions.

Those who ultimately respect user privacy and want to do the right thing are often paralysed by process and making sure that they absolutely can't be sued, rather than being able to show respect for data and best practices but still getting things done.

Those who ultimately don't respect user privacy use it as an excuse. They plaster their services with GDPR notices, and then ignore the spirit of the law and sweep up all the data they want, regardless of whether they need it or should have it, but of course this is invisible to users so nothing happens about it.

I wonder if this disconnect comes from the enforcement? I'd like to see a few high-profile cases that set out some precedents for what is and what isn't a breach of GDPR.
youtube has perhaps an even bigger malinformation problem than most social media. doubleclick was purely an anticompetitive acquisition, and was never a net positive for the internet anyway. and they are doing their best to wall in and destroy all the things that made android a good choice over ios, while falling behind in all the areas ios is advancing.
Tesla uses customers to test unfinished driverless tech, warns NTSB
To understand how China may continue to develop, study the history of the USA and other hegemonies.

The USA also lied, cheated, stole, murdered, etc.

Just in my life time, I've read a lot of these alarmists missives. The Japan That Can Say No, the evil USSR, something something Islam, Latino immigration, etc.

This too shall pass.

What always seems to be missing is recognition that the USA also has agency. It's so weird to think we'll not respond, adapt, accommodate, or whatever.

These things are always a dance, action then reaction, move then counter-move.

--

That said: One thing that worries me is ethics around medical research. I have the impression that China's currently a free-for-all. Well. In time that will change. Not so long ago, the USA did a lot of horrible shit. Now we have institutional review boards and government oversight.

(I'm purposefully not reading about anyone's atrocities. I acknowledge them. But I'm struggling mightily to keep my head in a positive space. If I think too much about the horrors, I just start crying. And that's not helping me or anyone else.)

--

Yes, an emergent China presents a lot of challenges.

But I'm more worried about scenarios where China that doesn't become a super power. Or worse, if China declines. People start acting stupid and lash out when the narrative flips.

Further, I've been thinking having a sole super power has been bad for humanity.

I'm hoping that if the USA feels a little heat, we'll pull our thumbs out and resume building towards a better future. Because whatever we've been doing these last 20+ years, it kinda sucks.
> The Linux desktop never was

Speak for yourself, my desktop is Linux now after more than a decade of Mac. (But I know what you mean: it never really gained huge traction.)
Basically all uses of const in JavaScript are pointless. I have asked many times for someone to show me an example of a bug that shipped that would have been prevented by const as it exists in JS. I'm still waiting.

The only time I can think of where const is useful is in Vue 3, it lets you ensure that you remember to change myref.value instead of trying to reassign myref by mistake. But it's just sort of a coincidental side effect of the fact that Vue reactivity has to work by mutating properties and not rebinding names. Plus Evan You is experimenting with a syntax transform to make it not necessary to use .value anyway.
$120/year I can't... YC has a lost it...
We got a usable Linux-inspired OS instead of suffering through the raw deal.

It's all the little things like bad window management (can't batch close from alt tab screen) to horrible UX (the new folder button hidden behind a hamburger menu) to idiotic naming (what do thunar and totem do?) and a good dose of not fixing the bugs that your users care about, that made Linux OS un-sellable.
I don't get it either when you consider most people drop $10/month on plenty of other things. I'm pretty sure I spend a decent multiple of that on coffee.

> Or you can plug in a USB 3.0 SSD and get decent speed, but you end up with a cabling mess and lose bandwidth and latency to a USB-to-SATA

Is the bandwith loss significant between USB 3.0 and SATA (for an average SSD)?
That's kind of a meaningless statement.

Any search-ad revenue Google gets is a side-effect of users going to Google for good quality search results. Worse results would lead to fewer users, fewer ads sold, less revenue.

The ad money is in fact a major motivation to provide top quality search at all costs.
True, but what percentage of user who own on Coinbase are going to setup Tor to buy/sell Bitcoin? What percentage are going to be comfortable setting up a Trezor? I did say it wouldn't stop 100% of transactions. If a government bans it, the hedge funds are dumping their positions too. Bitcoin would go back to being a $5 crypto. To be clear, I'm not sure the US government is poised to do this. I was merely saying that you can't carbon tax it out of existence.
I'm sympathetic to this argument in many ways. For one, extremist movements tend to thrive on oppression - being censored "proves" the system is rigged against them.

But the argument in this article is very flawed. For one, yes, Germany has a far right movement. The real question is, how influential would it be without all the legislation to suppress it?

Social norms matter, and legislation can reinforce those norms. It's important to pick the right battles, however. Laws can be used to create pressures against becoming e.g. a white
supremacist as long as the majority of the population opposes that ideology. OTOH, try using laws to make people go vegan, and it's not going to go very well in the current situation.

Do you consider "ongoing" to be synonymous with "server costs"? As someone trying to figure out a pricing model for a currently-local-only app, I'm genuinely curious.

The best dancer I have laid eyes on in my entire life was at a goth club. This guy was so good he actually made his partners look like they knew what they were doing, flawlessly adapting to their little mistakes. It was astonishing. You would see them with someone else and they were a mess, but this guy just ... blended everything without a seam. It took effort not to gawp at this guy because you rarely get to see someone who is a complete master at something in the wild. I've been to ballet and he made most of the performers I have seen on stage look like palsied bears by comparison. How much work and energy does it take to get to that level?

It's a bit like how impressive the dance scene is in Ex Machina (from a Watsonian, not Doylist, perspective): you realize that this gynoid is capable of watching this guy out of the corner of its eye and matching his every doubtlessly unplanned mildly inebriated move, as Nathan is probably a guy who leads when he dances, not follows.
India has hundreds of lynchings every year [1]. Unjustified but India is a weak state. Policing is non existent especially in villages and rural areas. In the absence of the Police people take force into their own hands.

Hindus, Dalits, Muslism are all lynched. Selective outrage around the few are great to push the buttons of folks like you or maybe you are part of the problem. I have studied the data on lynchings and this was a media manufactured narrative to get liberal (esp. western) sympathy and eyeballs.

This was very similar to what happened in Godhra and its aftermath. 59 Hindus were lynched. There was no media outrage over it. Even now it is claimed by many as an accident. The riots started. The state was weak, it begged for help from neighboring states but got nothing. Gujarat has seen riots for 100s of years. Some riots lasted months [Wikipedia]. But Modi got blamed for it as if these were the first riots ever.

He ensured there were no riots every in his tenure decade plus long tenure ever. Got no credit for it.

Careers have been made (Rana Ayub) and hundreds of millions of dollars (Teesta) have been raked in over the Gujarat Riots. Rajdeep even apologized for the coverage and all but exonerated Modi:

The primary question is "why"? Where is your company struggling because you aren't technical?

In my mind (as a technical founder), the things a CEO needs to know are at the conceptual / theoretical level rather than the implementation level. I've seen businesses fail because the CEO silos the technical side of house from the "business" side and then doesn't have enough technical knowledge to parse suggestions that aren't aligned with business goals. That problem is better solved by eliminating the silos and aligning incentives rather than gaining technical knowledge, in my opinion.
That's a lot of text to try to justify being a shithead.

My favorite ridiculous bit is when you pretend that all the stupid /g/ slang isn't designed around shock value. By your own argument, I guess pedophilia is acceptable and not transgressive of social norms as long as your audience is a group of pedophiles. I wish I could kiss that juicy multi-dimensional galaxy brain of yours!

BTW, there's nothing wrong about trying to be nice. Like, literally there's nothing more acceptable than being agreeable. But I guess that's too much to ask from someone like you who is clearly too cool for school and 'so based'.

I used to think like that when I was an edgy teen. I'm so glad I grew the fuck up.
> Cheap GPS devices have existed for at least 14 years [etrex], and yet latitude and longitude coordinates are still not widely used by people to specify locations.

Well, I have to switch from Google Maps to OSM every time I want a GPS coordinate. So yes, they are not used, but not because they are difficult to use per se, but because Google is pushing their own agenda on PlusCodes and passive-aggressively discourage GPS coordinates.
> If everything has security vulnerabilities, nothing has security vulnerabilities

This reminds me of the era when everyone thought that the way to prevent users from doing things that permanently delete data and can't be undone was to throw up a big red "Are you sure?" confirmation. After a while users use got habituated to clicking "Yes", which made the warnings useless.
Part of the reason for so many overtimes is the ridiculous point system for overtime games: For a game that ends in regulation, one team gets 2 points and the other gets 0. For game that goes to overtime each team gets at least 1 point, and the winner gets two. This situation reduces the incentive to play aggressively and take chances to win when a game is tied late in the 3rd period.

For comparison, before the addition of shootouts to resolve games still tied after overtime, each game was worth exactly two points: both went to the winner, or they were split in the case of a tie.

Now there is the weird situation that teams are not competing for a fixed number of standings points. Instead rather a new point gets created whenever a game goes to overtime. This makes a huge incentive not to try to break ties in regulation.
Is the CPU load attributable to some NVMe overhead or is it just that NVMe is faster than SATA and thus the CPU is being more efficiently utilized?
The article could be more helpful by naming hagfishes from the start.

"As for the earliest vertebrates, Mayashita and his co-authors argue that another group of fish, characterized by bony armor in their skin, are closer to the mark. Like lampreys, they have no jaws, and appear to have given rise to other boneless vertebrates."

They never name the other group of fish, but the CMS is smart enough to link to hagfish slime. If you're curious about the origins of vertebrates: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnatha

But the scanner still flagged it.
It's not clear what that would solve, XWayland mostly fulfills that role already. It can't run window managers, but you wouldn't really get that everywhere from adding another Wayland extension either -- doing that would require a lot of additional code and the GNOME and KDE implementations wouldn't want that anyway because they have their own built in window managers. So maybe you could get a hacked up version of Weston that can run X window managers, but why bother dealing with maintaining that instead of just maintaining X? It's unlikely the X server will stop working as long as you have a GPU that supports GL or Vulkan, the glamor/modesetting driver should continue to work there.
Don't forget the people that use it as an excuse to not do what they simply don't want to do. "Sorry, we cannot contact you via email, GDPR, you understand? You have to come to us and have an awkward sales talk in order to get your trivial information."

GDPR is generally a good thing IMHO.

It seems this can only lead to

1) Rolling back to pre GDPR, where user data is largely a free for all
2) The UK having it's own 'unique' rules

Neither which seems very good for users and/or businesses.

Perhaps the point here is to make some kind dubious 'look what we can do because of brexit' argument. When the reality is that 'freedom' has a reality which is more negative than any positives it might have.

"For the past 20-something years "experts" have made predictions of how China will catastrophically fail "in the next 5 years" because whatever the latest issue was that we just identified with how China does things wrong. At least you put your predictions 20 years in the future so you don't have to correct them that often. ;-)"

I put no timelines on any predictions nor did I make a prediction just a simple comparison to the history of the USSR. Me thinks you didn't even read the original comment.

"And while it's true that China has a lot of internal conflicts and issues, I don't see how any of them should pose a serious threat to their road to success, or rather not more than the issues we have in the west now."

No state attempting to gain imperial power does so without causing significant pushback from its neighbors (South China Sea, Himalaya border, Taiwan, etc.) This is the exact issue that caused WW2 which didn't work out to well for the new imperialist on the block.
