People always bring up online banking, and its so fascinating to me; I've basically always (since 2010 at least) done banking online using mobile web. Are there any institutions that require using an app? For one of my institutions, the app is just a wrapper around the mobile site anyway.

I made the switch to GrapheneOS recently and its been quite pleasant overall, relative to expectations.

Everything else just works, barring notifications for some apps and things that are obviously Google-oriented (e.g. google camera). Also, location is seriously degraded, because it actually _only_ works with GNSS, as far as I can tell.

I've been making the switch to sites pinned to home screen for things that aren't useful offline (banking, weather) and that's been working well, but largely unnecessary. I just really don't trust Android apps generally.

Nuclear is the best option on paper but a serious look at Fukushima needs to occur and be addressed first. In all discussions about pros and cons Fukushima is conveniently left out of the discussion or drastically minimized.

Fukushima happened. We still do not contain the technology to fully stop the melted reactors. The price tag is in the billions and continues to rise in containment. The geographic loss of land use is massive. Even Chernobyl reactor continues to spew radiation and make the land inhabitable.

Until we can build reactors that can be fully shutdown and contained I think nuclear is still a no go (IMO)
Personally, I'm just refusing to accept it to see what (if anything) they'll actually do about it.
Not me. I uninstalled a while ago.
I would say it's a bad idea depending on the job.

Replacing an old plug for a new one with USB, sure why not DIYit. Messing around with the breaker panel to add an electric car charger or an HVAC connection, my recommendation would be to hire a professional.

The main issue with AC electricity it's how easy is to learn the basics, and get overconfident because you got something working fast (sadly here I can talk about myself). But not knowing things like the NEC Code makes a difference, and that's when you want a technician or get into the rabbit hole of learning this deeply.

Simple details as ignoring the color code, not using the right AWG for the job, can easily cause a fire, or a hidden dangerous electric shock for future maintenance, making the installation a ticking bomb.

Again, the right to repair should not be confused with "anyone can do repairs", but having the choice of hiring a 3rd party professional to do the job (or do it yourself if you have the training) outside of the original vendor.
Curiously the author claims to have lived IN a van for five (5) straight years! That certainly supplants 99.999% of people's experience with car camping.

> Right there. The cost of violations is priced in. Companies actually misbehave and simply accept a potential fine as a business expense.

I don't get the point of this. Should Facebook not set aside an amount for likely litigation? The fact is that these regulations are very vague and regulatory authorities have a lot of discretion. Notice that the article simply says Whats app failed to provide "transparency of information provided to users about the processing of their data between WhatsApp and other Facebook companies." Imagine being in a company and your task is to prevent this sort of thing. What does this mean? I'm sure its in the disclaimer, terms of service and a number of other places. But it's not enough apparently.

And there's a huge financial incentive for these bodies to go after large companies. In the US a lot of the fine goes back to the prosecuting body.

For instance, in 2013 JP Morgan paid a $13 billion settlements, $7bn of which was distributed to various government authorities, including the prosecuting agencies.

Yeah IDK what the prior comment is talking about. Plenty of Titan sites are borderline superfund sites due to poor fuel containment. (Source: Titan Missile Museum in Tucson, AZ.) Hydrazine was just one of many nasty chemicals they had to store on site at Titan sites.
> By your logic you'd by fine with your phone provider handing over all call logs and recordings to the govt too along with full browsing history, location data... you know... since they already have the data.

In the UK all phone providers are required to keep all call logs, location data etc for six months to hand over to the government in a variety of circumstances, so that ship sailed a long time ago.

However, that is the most broken comparison I could possibly imagine, so no.

This is a first fine, and note that the original article states that both FB and Instagram are under investigation also, so it could easily be 3x this current fine, which is not insignificant, even for Facebook.

Sorry let me re-phrase

"Nope. Germany averages about 6% of transmission loss"

I wasn't referring to ohmic losses, or transmission losses. I was referring to consumed along the way. The power generated in Vladivostok doesn't reach Germany not because the line losses are real, but because there'a country of 150 million inbetween.

"We have this in Europe ffs. Almost all of Europe, parts of Asia (Turkey) and North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunesia) run in a synchronized-phase grid, and we have interconnection links to the insular ones (UK, Nordic countries, and a small one tying us to Russia). The entire former Soviet Union runs on a synchronized-phase grid"

Indeed you do (and there's problems with that), and it's not the impressive frankly (N. America has the same, with HVDC interconnects). But the OP was (clearly?) suggesting transporting all the power needed in Europe in, say, the Gobi desert. That's a scale of grid capacity that you do not have.

You are very wrong. The EU is the only big power defending data privacy and fighting to protect the little rights user still have.

It helps, of course, that they don't have domestic internet mammoths putting money in their pockets to get away with whatever they want (USA) or a state sponsored big brother / AI yoke programme that depends on data being collected from all around the world (China _and_ USA).

If anything, the EU is trying to prevent external (and increasingly hostile) powers to use EU citizens data for gain or plain aggression (Cambridge Analytica & Brexit, for example).
The point is that instead of investing money into security they choose to roll the dice and set aside some peanuts for litigation into a "most likely we'll be sued" fund knowning they will never face fines like "10% of the year's REVENUE is no belong to us" rather they will face a"1 million dollars!" fine while they are a trillion dollar company

Your comment gave me the impression that Daniel Walsh made some refutation against that podman-machine is being deprecated, but the Tweet you link to say no such thing, unless it's hidden in some sub-tweet (Twitters UX is horrible to discover things).

Going straight to the source (https://github.com/boot2podman/machine), it says the following:

> DEPRECATED (with huge letters)

> Podman Machine is now deprecated. Users should try using Vagrant instead.

So one can safely assume that podman-machine is in fact getting deprecated.
Sometimes I feel like the only cure for perfectionism is to sabotage or rewire the part of our brain which catalogues, sorts and is able to pick one thing as being better/worse than some other thing.

Perfectionism comes from the ability to look around and see the difference between self and the #1 person at that particular task.

The only way to effectively give it a try is not being aware of how awful you are.
We had some success making it easy for engineers.

User documentation was inline with the code (think perldoc/pydoc). Developer documentation (as comments) was also co-located with the relevant code.

This automatically gave us man pages at a shell prompt. We could include those man page outputs in report .zip files that got emailed to users, and push them to our website.

There's an art to keeping this organized. Always having a good trail of breadcrumbs was important, like a comment next to a variable assignment telling the developer to update the user docs if that constant is changed. Also avoiding duplications, which leads to drift/inaccuracy. We considered inaccurate documentation to be a bug. Full time employees took to this. Contractors often needed reminding.

As the project grew there was managerial pressures to get involved in other stuff like power points and sharepoint.
> The difference between aggregating traffic for the purposes of internal network management, and sending traffic data to a third party is not hard to see.

Is it? If they send it to a third party technical subcontractor for internal network management is that bad? If they publish a chart publicly of the top ten websites our users visit is that bad? (That's very common).

If they pass the data to geofiltering vendors to use for threat intelligence to reduce DDOS attacks is that bad? Fraud?

What exactly is the obvious line here that you think exists, other than "I don't like copyright."
The UK wanted to leave as an intact entity, the EU made that difficult, therefore compromises.

It's fairly inane as an unbending rule, given that a large fraction of what you read isn't going to be relevant or interesting. But for those works that are interesting and intricately argued, there is no getting around the need to re-read many times. There are philosophers who have spent their whole lives reading Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit or Kant's three Critiques. That's extreme, but my point is that if you want to read quality philosophy, you're going to have to put some effort and time in.
Solar Domes Could Desalinate Seawater at a Commercial Scale
"It’s not enough to sit down and read through the textbooks here once [...] I’ve learned a pretty foolproof method for studying philosophy: read everything four times."

While I enjoy a close read as the next guy, I really have difficulties not to get sarcastic.

That said: philosophy was cool when public intellectuals had some importance. But that's a thing of the past. Philosophy is done. It still can be a nice hobby but you should look for ways to find people you can discuss things with. This becomes even better if you disagree.

>how to keep our expensive stuff - laptops, passport etc - safe while we went out hiking

Is that really a big problem most places? I'll probably take key documents like a passport with me when I hike; it's not like it weighs much. But, while I might make a small effort to make something like a laptop non-obvious (like sticking it under a seat, I probably wouldn't even consider welding a safe somewhere.

I'm not sure I'd recommend Aurelius' Meditations as an easy-to-read introduction to Stoicism - it's a hefty tome (in the longer editions, I can't speak for the ~100-200 page versions) and incredibly repetitive, which is no surprise given it's essentially his personal journal. I'd much sooner recommend "Letters from a Stoic", a compilation of Seneca's letters to his friend Lucilius. It's much more conversational but still covers all the important ground of Stoicism.
Yes definitely a lot more goes on in the shadows of private equity than businessmen calculating capital efficiency. Anyone who thinks any measure of power goes unused in society is either naive or hiding something.

Even if we assume Facebook's leadership makes perfectly rational decisions, the reasons behind their unyielding behavior could very well be non-financial - saving face, internal office politics, standing ground hoping the push from the regulators will fizzle out, waiting for legal loopholes to be discovered, or simply feeling of "we know better"

Only 8 of around 40 DPAs that were involved in the process disagreed with the Irish DPC's conclusion according to TFA, so I don't think it's fully fair to lay the blame solely on Ireland here.
I'd love to see a certain pipeline I use to get under 20 minutes!
I think you'd have a hard time demonstrating that Ireland actually is a tax haven. I've heard that accusation from several sources, but never anything convincing.

As for undermining regulations, the EU has procedures for ensuring member states enact compliant legislation, and after that the country has its own legal system, not more corrupt than average. It might be that they're applying the law as they understand it and that the judiciary has some independence from commercial interests.

You're welcome to make the case otherwise, but making accusations as you've done isn't what I'd consider constructive dialogue.
Not to the victims, that is all I can tell you.
No, the work of all teams except the pre-selected real one was discarded and never passed on for evaluation. If you wanted to do it for real you would do it up front and ask them all to try different approaches and have rendevous points to compare and evaluate and exchange findings. I suspect that would be much better morale for all teams involved, but would require management to give up on their "chosen" team, and put some real effort into this, which they were not willing to do (and before you ask, yes, the "backup" team suggested this and got rejected, and then got the fuck out)
I love XKCD but it is (slightly) wrong here:

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

First sentence:

"Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction."

Emphasis on principle, not on law.

There are certainly much better XKCD than this one but it isn't wrong when it describes behavior of communities. It isn't wrong when it declares the irrelevance of the first amendment of the US.

But where you are wrong is that you support free speech. You are more focused on the consequences for the people whose uttering you dislike. It is intellectual weakness if you are afraid to face opposition.

> ... On the morning of the flight, Branson, an outspoken environmentalist, appeared on the “livestream” arriving at the spaceport on a bicycle. But this turned out to be false: Branson did not pedal to work that day; the bike ride was filmed a week earlier and then made to look like it happened that morning. When Reuters called out the company, an anonymous official said, “We regret the error and any confusion it may have caused.”

But this was no "error":

> Branson also told spectators about the bike ride during a post-flight celebration at the spaceport, Reuters said. "It's so awesome to arrive on a bicycle, across this beautiful New Mexico countryside," Branson was quoted as telling the crowd from a stage.

Could you replicate, sure. But would you necessarily create the same thing if you start from a CGI only process, not necessarily.

It's not too say one is implicitly better than the other but part of creative intent is derived from the process itself and the constraints inherent within it. I genuinely believe that the creator is making an expressive choice here and that's cool.
