The law provides for fines to be a percentage of turnover.

A fine as a proportion of profits just reduces your profits by a few percent; as long as your profits are still huge, it doesn't matter, and you pay up. If it's a percentage of turnover, you might well end up with losses for that year, and no profits at all.

The regulation is designed to make your shareholders sit up, and put pressure on the board to come into compliance. It was targeted at turnover rather than profits for obvious reasons - corporate accountants are very good at making profits invisible. And turnover is relatively easy to measure.

[Edit] Changed "revenue" to "turnover" - "revenue" was an alternative fact.
I only make the mac version, but I've seen this "port" for Android TV.

No guarantees from me that it's any good : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codingbuff...

It's open source too, according to the description, it streams and doesn't cache videos and apparently it handles 4K HDR. If data usage is a concern to you, be aware that some videos are close to 1 GB.
Well, the "takedown" seems to get emotional in parts, but I can't disagree with it, what is this kooky doctor (ha, smell my bias) expecting, a paranoia-proof vaccine that takes many years to develop, or a vaccine that works now?

> This particular coronavirus happens to have a proofreading mechanism that results in a low mutation rate compared to that of a lot of other RNA viruses, such as, for example, the influenza virus. Seriously, as a “vaccine expert”, how is it that Dr. Vanden Bossche does not know this? Even so, concern about immune escape is one reason why Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna used the entire SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, rather than specific segments of it that might serve as antigens, so that the polyclonal antibody immune response generated would be broad and unlikely to be “escaped” with single mutations—or even multiple mutations.
Investors overseeing $14T call for vote on company climate plans
There isn't really a professional expectation about prestigious firms. However, there is some reputational effect of having external counsel represent you in court. Some courts (judges, juries) might view a lawyer who represents a variety of clients more credibly than a lawyer who is directly employed by one corporate party (admittedly I think this is a very small effect and can work both ways).

Most companies also want to maintain a healthy separation between internal and external counsel so that they can keep certain kinds of communications privileged and avoid awkward situations where an attorney who is both an employee and legal advisor to a company might be subpoenaed for a deposition (basically any time a lawsuit happens, any corporate employee with knowledge can potentially become subject to deposition as a fact witness). You basically never want your in-court lawyer to be deposed for any reason.

That said, there are some companies who look into this kind of stuff for smaller matters - small corporate disputes, collections of accounts receivables, and whatnot - oftentimes are now being done in-house even if they involve some in-court matters. It still doesn't seem to make sense for big files though.
All I meant by that was, from this article alone I don't have enough information to form my own opinion.

> ARM's Johnny-come-lately 64-bit implementation that has gone farther up and down

What do you mean? Arm is primarily embedded IP, where 64b only recently has come en vogue (unless you mean A5/A7?, I'm talking Cortex-M). Arm competitors are really Renesas, Synopsys, TI, and a number of Chinese chips, and 64b isn't a prioirity in most of that space. Not defending anyone, just not sure what you mean.

"The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules"
I agree with this. I have no idea if the guy was a terrible person or made a terrible decision in the moment and did what he did. Either way he deserved a punishment greater than he received. With that said he is portrayed in the media and social media as if he is the second coming of Hitler. A ton of people do far worse things and are allowed to continue with their lives after serving their time. If people are not allowed a chance at rehabilitation (within reason, I think some crimes are unforgivable, but not his) then we are a lesser society.
> Haskell introduces monads not so that you can have them but so that you can not have them!

Another way of looking at this which is perhaps not so brain-twisting is that in most languages you start out with the ability to perform arbitrary side effects at any point in the program, which gives the programmer a lot of power but makes the program hard to reason about. In Haskell the "default state" is pure functions, which are great for reasoning about your program but much less powerful (no side effects). To this we can selectively add Functor, Applicable, and Monad instances to recover the ability to express side effects to varying degrees while still keeping most of the program pure. The fact that you have a choice about how much monadic code to introduce into your program is why monads are such a big topic in Haskell.

> That’s a warning to not talk during an investigation

That's assuming the authorities respect your right to do so. It's not even that clear cut a right in England for example, in that there are cases where not talking to the police can be held against you. Also while the right to an attorney and against self-incrimination is enshrined in the European declaration of Human Rights and enforced by the ECHR, it took dozens of that court's decisions for France to start implementing it in earnest. I don't know about the situation in Italy in that respect but their justice system is usually a fucking mess, like their bridges.
Agreed that it's a result of not having people experienced with building systems at scale.

That's not a technical choice since the person writing code wasn't aware of the options, so it's a business choice. How good of a business choice is it, though?

We all know at some level that a well-intentioned but inexperienced engineer can make a decision in an afternoon that will take weeks or years to clean up. I often see junior engineers spend several days over-engineering something that a senior engineer would have done simpler and better in a fraction of the time. I don't think it's a given that junior engineers provide better return on investment early on that a senior engineer.

Getting some worthwhile feedback and advice from a seasoned engineer doesn't need to cost a fortune in up-front cash, and personally I think it'll pay for itself. You either compensate them with stock or hire them as a temporary or part time consultant.

I seem to recall being able to do this with some effort in the old days. You might have to compile the mod_php's yourself though, looks like at least FreeBSD packages have different php versions conflict with each other.

If you use php_fpm as others suggest, it would likely be easier.

Either way, you need to have some way to indicate which version you want; it used to be common on shared hosting to have .php3 vs .php4 vs .php5 files to indicate which version you wanted; but I think modern PHP tends to have less code that doesn't work with newer versions.

Is anybody aware of any reason there would be negative effects to getting a vaccination for previously infected people?

I had Covid in April. My doc, with a shrug, said "you should probably wait 90 days to get vaccinated?"

So I was looking to get my shots now, because the world at large seems to think that only vaccinations matter and that immunity from prior infection somehow fades in a few months. But I'm just a little concerned that the immune response to the vaccines might be much greater for me.

If we're calling a spade a spade, then both San Francisco and Inter are replicas of Helvetica.

They're both literally just Helvetica modernized a bit to remove personality (like the curled end to an "R" or "a", or the downstroke of the "G"), and with spacing appropriate for screens rather than print.

Inter isn't any more derivative than San Francisco is -- they're both derivative.
Very clean. I clicked hoping to see a mono variant - I’m always on the lookout for good terminal fonts. Maybe one day!
Wow, my kids lucked out. As soon as the school district announced that classes will be held online, a bunch of the parents got together and hired tutors. We were invited to join and the parents split the cost.

Every other day, as soon as online school ended, our kids would go to a different person’s home to meet with a tutor in math and english. It made a world of difference. We did this all the way up until the end of this last semester, and we managed to keep the same group of 12 kids.

I can’t speak for other children, but my kids were miserable with online school, and they looked forward to the tutoring because it gave them that in person social time. Their grades definitely improved, and I think for this set of kids we made the right decision.
Absolutely, but the article complains about lack of rigor and this definition doesn't provide it.
You are clearly uninformed, This companies need to ask permission.

So a few Google, Ms, Amazon devs could put their brains to work, create a standard for people like you to get a beaut full experience, you could give them permissions to watch your browsing, access your health data, listen to your microphone, scan your files, data mine your images and social posts. You could even help this nice companies by filling a form where you tell them what kind of ads you want to see, what things you like, what you hate.

The only problem is that either there are few people like you that want to give permissions, the giants don't want to share the profits and for sure don't care about your experience, or this giant devs are incompetent or are focusing on easy projects like throwing some npm modules to some source code/social posts/images and prentend they made an AI developer/writer/artist etc.

TLDR GDPR asks for permissions, you can just click Accept ALL , after you clicked Accept All and the ads are still garbage then is not EU fault that Amazon devs that work on ads are incompetent or are optimizing for the thing you don't care.
"A full course of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 64% effective at preventing symptomatic Covid-19, according to an early study by Israel’s health ministry reported Monday, much lower than previous estimates of nearly 90%.

The vaccine still appears to be highly effective, 93%, at preventing serious illness and hospitalization, the data shows, though this is also slightly lower than earlier studies suggested and for other variants."

Fortunately I learned this rather early, as in 6th grade some journalist came to our classroom to interview our teacher and us for some story.

I sat close enough to hear our teacher being interviewed, so it came as a shock when I later read the newspaper and saw my teacher being quoted as having said the exact opposite of what she actually said. And this was in one of the top three newspapers in our country.

I think the parent's point is that in a more well-functioning system Amazon would be given notice and time to rectify their presumably mistaken wrong-doing which they would then appropriately rectify in good faith or to avoid penalties.

The parent is pointing out how the current system incentivizes "surprise" fines as an alternative to up-front tax and how this dynamic trends towards fines being seen as a simple cost-of-business rather than a true penalty/punishment.
Yes. National Best Bid / Offer. Aka, a best offer made to the general public. The argument is roughly that we're losing out on the price improvements that could have been if Robinhood's fulfillment partner weren't kicking money back to robinhood.

> Hard work, intelligence, willpower, perseverance are, at the root, all genetic. Environmental factors may influence these traits, but how you react to environmental factors is also genetic...unless you believe in religious concepts such as free will.

This is quite an extreme perspective. By this definition, the ability to read is genetic, the ability to walk is genetic, to talk, etc — these are all genetic, but nearly everyone learns these things because of the “environmental factors” you dismiss as “influence”.

We have way more in common, genetically, than we have differences. Privilege primarily comes from environmental and socially constructed factors, not genetics — unless you’re talking about the Olympic Games, and I’m not sure many are arguing for equity there with respect to genetic gifts (with perhaps the notable and wonderful exception of the Paralympics).

If you think the entire point of “equity” is to tear people down who have too much privilege, respectfully I think you arguing against a straw man and are missing the point.

your statement is contradictory. Two things cannot be "mutually exclusive" and "not connected". If they are mutually exclusive, then there must be communication between the concepts to coordinate the exclusion, the connection suggested by the word "mutually".

I'm not sure about legality but I think your argument should be made to stock regulators. I don't agree with it but I can certainly see your argument, on the face of it, has merit. I also think it's distasteful and wrong and I don't care to elaborate on that.

> Forcing companies to not use all the information at their disposal to make business decisions

There are plenty of laws which force companies to not use all of the information at their disposal. Privacy laws, for example, are set to help people (not necessarily customers) have a better life. Corporations don't have a right to profit from people who don't wish to be profited from.

> you're also forcing every user of a website to get a worse experience, sometimes severely to their detriment.

I fully disagree. I don't believe that using customers' purchase history guarantees in any way that the customer's experience will be better. The only thing it's likely to guarantee is a more profitable company. The two metrics may be correlated but they're not causal.
Yeah we had a superdome at work too. One of the earlier beige PA-RISC ones (the itaniums were black IIRC).

But those were in a class of their own... :) If you scale things up that big they're going to belch heat no matter the architecture.

I don't think PA-RISC was inherently worse at performance to Watt than other competing processors at the time.

Social security don't count - we pay for that ourselves. What else?
Just to be clear, it really only matters for downloading books from Amazon which is why this discount Amazon is providing makes more sense for those kindles without wifi and while it technically is a breach of "lifetime" data. The web browser in my Kindle 3rd gen hasn't worked properly with https authentication for years. But the kindle model is almost the same as a game console model, you make back the money on underpriced device from people buying into the Amazon ebook and Audible audiobook ecosystem.

That's also why there's been no big rush for competition until pretty recently, with e-ink Android tablets and Kobo becoming more competitive in general.

Not to mention the patent hell around eink display technology itself, which thankfully has also slowly gotten some momentum.

This is a good deal for people who haven't upgraded yet and were looking for a new kindle but for those looking for control over their device, I recommend Kobo instead.
You're basically given root access by default. And Kobo is priced competitively. I have a kobo glo hd that's great, wish it had a slightly bigger screen. I can recommend the forma. Kobo even has dropbox support and epub support.

Kindles don't natively support epub. A jailbroken kindle with koreader is required to open up epub, or converting epub to mobi which changes the formatting sometimes.

Android based e-ink tablets don't have the proper processing power to make it feel like a real tablet so you might be left disappointed, like no proper multiple apps running at the same time. I just returned a LikeBook P78. Onyx Boox seems out of budget and there have been other controversies posted here about gpl violations.

Regardless of what ereader you have, I would strongly recommend setting up calibre. Mobileread forums is where a lot of the dev work is shared on jailbreaking basically all ereaders.
Virtual desktops and 3 finger swipes for me too. I cannot understand how having multiple apps visible helps, because you have to continuously switch your eye focus and if you have distracting apps like Slack in your field it's even worse. So laptop with 1 window maximized is the best for me. And the mobility that it allows: move to the sofa, armchair, cafe, I even deployed from a taxi. I tried to buy and use external keyboard and trackpad on my standup desk during the pandemic, but I returned the same day - the distance between the position of keys and the trackpad was so weird after years of laptop only.
