> ... no cryptographic verification of components, cartridges, or firmware

No, I definitely think that the verification on the parts to make sure that they are original should stay, but it should not disallow non official parts to be installed. Because, if I want to replace a part with an original, there should be a way to verify the part is not counterfeit, and I think it would be super beneficial for consumer if the part was able to verify itself as genuine. But, I should also be able to install non genuine parts as well.
Imo if it uses any uses European, western in general sub-components, like bayraktar drones do, they should be sanctioned, as they most likely were licensed only for civilian use.
Chances are that the site you are on has some topic that could be the subject of relevant ads. That's how advertising has worked before it became a game of stalking every user to the maximum extent possible.
> Try to edit something and you get blasted of Wikipeda very fast with a boatload of jargon.

"Trying to edit something" is a bad idea these days - the content is far too developed for that. Instead, post on the talk page with a description of your suggested edit, wait for people to object/complain/discuss, refine the text on talk if needed, then edit. It's pretty indistinguishable from a "pull request" workflow on github.

Yes, I know that a lot of novice-focused content advises people to edit directly. That's fine for fixing typos and bad grammer, not for substantive work.
Yes, though this also is my point. That Nazi government had a lot of individuals that were experienced in governance.

I'm not talking about rallying people to cause but rather ensuring municipal activity is happening regularly and that one is generating enough revenue to sustain these activities. Arguably Nazi Germany never really had the latter though, and instead needed to borrow heavily and go to war.

These points seemed that gone over the heads of most here who defaulted to the "oh look, bogeymen that we are all so superior to"
Democracy is a lie which was constructed to pacify the people. If you think you have some control, you feel more free and superior to others.
noyb are not "vigilante law enforcers". Law enforcement is police and courts.

Noyb notifies corporations of their GDPR violations. Only if they do not comply they will notify authorities/sue.
The comparison to Scientology seems apt in one sense. The CoS is known for silencing any unscripted commentary on the CoS that CoS does not control. They keep very aggressive legal counsel on retainer specifically for this purpose. Similarly, "crypto" seems to have a team of advocates present 24/7 online who actively try to suppress or counter any negative discussion of "crypto". It is like a Yahoo chat room devotd to the stock of some company. The company has a compelling interest to squelch that chat room.

People donate to CoS as well as "invest" in crypto; this practice has tangible benefit to the recpients of the funds. These beneficiaries do not want the benefit to end. They wnat it to grow. The suppression of "negative" commentary about crypto online is frightening to watch because it honestly seems to work. It is some sort of community-based censorship.
The system as currently designed in most Western democracies (Denmark and the USA included) puts the intelligence agencies under the oversight of elected officials. You can't put intelligence operations to a public referendum without revealing critical information. So the people trust their elected officials to be the select few who get to see what is going on and keep a secret, but also act in the country's interest by directing the intelligence operations through policy making and funding decisions.

The scandal here isn't that the NSA is spying on people, that is their job; everyone should expect every government other than their own to spy on them if they can. So then the scandal must be that the FE were helping spy on their allies. If the Danish people don't like this operation they should vote for new politicians. But don't be surprised when the new politicians get into office, have a discussion with the FE about why they cooperated with the NSA, and then choose to continue the activity (which the public won't discover for another decade). Denmark gets a benefit from it too. They open the doors to the NSA, and the NSA uses some capabilities that a smaller organization like the FE doesn't have. Then the NSA shares information back to the FE. Denmark's politicians end up better informed due to this partnership and are less likely to be caught off guard in negotiations with their neighbors.

Remember, every other country is spying on Denmark as well. Don't believe for a second that when Germany (or whomever) complains about their Prime Minister's phone being tapped that they've never tried to intercept communications from other countries. That's all just posturing; this is a giant stone throwing competition in a giant glass house. In public, every politician from every country is throwing accusations and hoping they aren't next up to have a whistleblower reveal what they are doing. No politician is going to stop their country's spying because it puts them at a disadvantage. They are elected to protect their country's interests.

Tl;dr: the only surprising thing here is that the public found out, this isn't going to stop even if you elect new politicians because this is what they are elected to do.
It's unclear if Do Not Track will be useful for cookie consent, certainly it will take a lot of time. Here is an article from 2018 about it.

https://www.w3.org/blog/2018/06/do-not-track-and-the-gdpr/

I think the intent of the GDPR is good, but we now have websites that are harder to use than they have to be.
In addition to that companies all over Europe have to spend a lot of time to be GDPR compliant.

I think it's time to take a good look at GDPR and evaluate if it's doing what is was meant to do.
My main browser (Vivaldi) is set to block cookies unless a site is whitelisted. When a site like TechCrunch plays fast and loose with the rules, I open it in Firefox, then erase all cookies using the "Forget" button (I wish it were even easier like the Firefox Focus app on iOS).

Trusting a site to comply is a fool's errand, but I applaud NOYB's efforts to enforce GDPR against dark patterns. The EU has also learned its lessons from the Ireland DPC's willful obstruction and the ePrivacy directive is likely to be enforced centrally, not by national authorities with conflicts of interest like Ireland's.

Finally, it is not enough to have the firms discontinue the dark patterns. They must also be forced to delete all the data collected, with auditors sent at their expense to verify this has been done. That in itself would be a much better deterrent than the fines themselves.
Can you comment on the feature they call 'vital-ion' with electro-chemical filtering?

If it's an ionizer won't it be releasing Ozone into your filtered room?

That sounds like the opposite of what you want for asthmatics, chidren, etc.
If ketamine treatment is the best thing available to you today, it's better than nothing, but is more business-aligned than patient-aligned and representative of the problem with U.S. healthcare in that it profits by treating illness rather than attempts to cure it. Ketamine treatment involves a series of front-loaded sessions (6) and periodic sessions, and costs thousands of dollars. This is a dream come true for business as it gets desperate, committed customers for an indefinite period of time.

On the other hand, psilocybin-assisted therapy involves two sessions three weeks apart and a series of regular therapy sessions leading up to and following trips. Psilocybin + therapy offers the potential of cognitive changes lasting far longer than those available from ketamine.

Aside from these two, MDMA-assisted therapy is having phenomenal gains for treating PTSD, and ibogaine for treating addiction (psilocybin can cure certain addictions, too).

with the states being 21 and up - I think the pressure is not the same.

In the cities I've been to, many nightclubs/bars/pubs after dark will only let in 18+ but you'd get Xs on your hands or something and only 21 and over can drink.

I believe many have gotten use to this system and the expectations that you don't need to turn up alcohol to be cool - in fact it could get you in trouble.

I also know there are plenty that find ways around the drinking 20 and under prohibition - sure - but sneaking a drink in a dark corner or whatever is not the same as being expected to be doing body shots on the bar.. so there is less pressure in many ways I believe, compared to UK I suppose.

Also - alcohol and weed for many youngsters I think is not a big deal to get or leave alone, a lot of people shrug at those things and seek out X Y or Z, and those things are not generally done in large groups at parties - from what I gather - surely it's not 100% across the board like that - but most kids have access to all the drugs and alcohol they could want by 9th grade in most places I am pretty sure -

the legal alcohol and weed is legal in many places now - seems like a thing that 'old people do' cuz it's legal - and it's not the main thing on their 'coolness radar' - at least that's the vibe I've been getting from the HS/college crowd of late.

my very little experience is of course a very small data point and certainly not indicative of the country as a whole, and I am guessing the small towns around the country are a bit different than the cities in those regards.
They've had had rule since 1978. They do send two members to parliament but they have say over their own matters, and people in Denmark generally agree this should be so. I doubt many Danish people would object if an independence movement were to grow.
I think the idea is, if the math had worked out the opposite way, then nuclear tech would be a black ball. If there was a bomb we could make and if it went off it would ignite the atmosphere and kill everyone - that would be a black ball.
You could donate to a local Wikimedia chapter or a thematic organization, they are doing a lot of great work in various areas and many of them are small enough for one to have an impact.

You mean what a middle manager earns in a similar type of tech company? Wikipedia is already paying well below market.
Actually, today an article was posted to HN (not by me) that points to Basquiat's parable of the broken window:

The parable of the broken window was introduced by French economist Frédéric Bastiat in his 1850 essay "Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas" ("That Which We See and That Which We Do Not See") to illustrate why destruction, and the money spent to recover from destruction, is not actually a net benefit to society.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window

I think this is relevant to our discussion, in particular the concept of "opportunity costs":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost

In microeconomic theory, opportunity cost is the loss of the benefit that could have been enjoyed if the best alternative choice was chosen instead.[1]
This is a really nice collection. I would love to be able to CMD + click the name on the listing page so it would open in a new tab (Firefox on Mac). At the moment it just selects the element around the link.

While I browse the web? Sure, why not. I would certainly worry if it was the government doing it, since the government usually has nefarious reasons, but a private party... go straight ahead.

That doesn't mean I can't take my own measures if and when I want my privacy, but that is MY choice. Not an idiotic law "protecting me" against my own will.

Incredible.

Not because he was right, obviously with hindsight we know x86 is still going strong.

Instead how much Mr. Jobs adopted his vision to match his financial incentives. He talks about Mac and IBM in this presentation, but the we he refers to is his NEXT OS. The one he started after getting kicked out of Apple. Yet listening to him here you'd think he left a sinking ship.
I don’t disagree that it’s possible but if a player refuses to give an opinion or to interact with media it doesn’t make building narratives easier. “Player X has this record vs Player Y” isn’t that compelling in itself.

It is funny that refusing to talk to media is itself generating buzz about the sport so maybe Naomi knows how to spin a narrative better than I know haha.
Just to be clear, post match interviews aren’t “paparazzi”, they aren’t randomly followed on the street, they meet at a given place at a given time and interact with cleared media people.

Or hosting all the images? Or paying developers, devops, managers? Like sure, some middle manager may be unnecessary but a big company will have inefficiencies. Also, it is a good decision to not stop accepting funds once a monthly quota is reached since donations are fickle. An article like this may suddenly cause an outage in donations, they have to have reserves for such cases.
Another new car company tried the dealership route only to still get the same pushback. Its really not worth doing just to get into another legal battle about if they are doing dealerships correctly.

And Tesla is no longer alone in trying to change these laws, Rivian, Polestar, Lucid are all joining this battle and others are comming. The change is inevitable now. It make no strategic sense to totally switch your strategy for those few stats that are still holding out.
A company of the size, stature, and importance of Wikimedia probably should. Currently they pay them what a middle manager would make in FAANG.

Hopefully an object of a few tons will hit the ISS - deorbiting that piece of junk is long overdue.

Maybe we can turn the ISS into a giant electromagnet and attract tons of space debris.

For those who don't know the history of the ISS, the US entered into a joint venture with Russia in order to put unemployed Russian scientists on the dole instead of hiring out to Middle East dictatorships.

I figure by now those Russian scientists can find their own damn paying jobs.

Also, ISS experiments are not widely cited in papers - unlike real science experiments including Hubble, WMAP, etc.
Yes. Until it would need/want to start affecting public opinion.
Another way to do that is control-click or command-click on macOS.

Cute story. Maybe you are not the first one to compile it from the issues, but others came to the same conclusion?
The way it was done is that crime was nationalized.
For example in the USSR, the NKVD secret police nearly exterminated the criminal underworld completely, put the remaining in forced labor camps (Gulags) and used them to repress the political prisoners.
Crime became a state monopoly.

> In general I'm not a fan of vigilante law enforcers

Nobody here is enforcing the law. noyb is actually doing a favor to all those small business by informing them that they are in fact breaking the law. Maybe some of them didn't even know it. noyb then gives them ample time to fix the issue and if they don't they get reported to the relevant agencies which then do the law enforcement.

It's all quite simple that I am surprised that anybody would call noyb vigilante law enforcers.

That is an interesting aspect about rust I have not heard, and since over 50% of my C code tend to be about managing return codes with proper tear down, rust suddenly do look a bit more interesting. However doing a surface look, it seems that rust simply terminate the program when encountering some of the more critical return codes from syscalls, which does exactly feel like it solves the problem. I guess it is also a reason why the kernel might not switch to using rust any time soon, as oom should not cause drivers to just terminate hard. From my surface look, it also seems rust simply uses Result<> where in C you would store the value in an int, and both leaves it up to the user to read the manual and interpret the number into actually meaning. Of course I could be wrong.

In a way it also demonstrate a other line between when I would use shell, Python or C. With shell everything either existed OK or did not, and the return data is always strings, and so the programs written there is built with that in mind. With python I work with structured data, but I don't spend much work or thought on syscalls and what state the machine is in. With C, syscalls management and the state of the machine is the majority of the code. As such one pick the language based on what the code will be focusing on. Dynamic vs static basically becomes a shorthand for that focus.

Why deorbit? It cost a lot of money to get that junk off the planet, surely its more valuable up there for somebody smart to harvest it and reuse it in place.
I think the issue here is the law, but malicious compliance to that law. Which is bad.

The web should not be an ad marketplace that just happens to have content. The favoured rhetoric of the giant corps is that ads pay for the free content, which is balderdash. It's because these gigantic websites are little more than platforms sucking the air out of the web. You and I produce and consume the actual content. We can't allow middlemen to hold us hostage because they want more ad revenue.

The massive investment seen in sports recently is not because all of a sudden humanities best talents are in sports. It's partly because of the marketing done by the organisers.

So, seems a bit odd that an athlete wants to collect the outrageous fees without being part of the advertising bringing in that money.

I do not support preying on one's emotions, but when you look at the figures being paid to players, you realise they aren't being paid just to play tennis or soccer.
