Probably all they had to do was be transparent about the reason for sending out the emails, who they were, and probably throw in a link to that page (i.e. https://privacystudy.cs.princeton.edu). Seems like a silly thing to overlook but it does seem the impact on people is serious and I guess they know better now...
I don't know whether the problem is the law or not. Interesting to see some people have seen GDPR as a security risk, but its a great way for people to see what is being used to help an entity carry out its function.

I sent this to my politician and am still waiting for a response but I'm more than interested in what they use tech wise, and I think it covers everything!?!

GDPR Request:
Everything you have on me, please highlight what you or your 3rd party's consider to be for law enforcement purposes or for scientific purposes and therefore can not deleted, and please detail all & any 3rd party's who may be required to handle my data that enable you to perform your function of MP when dealing with me. Examples will include Anti Spam and Anti Virus software vendor(s), system's backup companies, cloud infrastructure provider's, network infrastructure provider's, computer equipment provider's, external national or regional department's, private assistant's or secretaries, mobile phone company's, data analytics' company's that have (in)directly identified me in order for you to get into office. This list of examples is not exhaustive.
After I have received & reviewed the data, I will inform you of what can be deleted.
US nationals have never been protected. If you make an international phone call the government can track it[1]. If its internal they can't without a warrant

NSO built in a complete block of +1 phone numbers. But those US diplomats were not using +1. Which itself is a security issue that i'm sure is already being discussed at the state department

That is not the same thing. The process for GDPR involves sending an email very similar to the one sent.

The action you should take doesn’t depend on whether or not the email you’ve received is for research purposes.

If someone doesn’t understand this then they have no business running a public website.
I'm still getting absolute position output with auto-layout - it seems to be a mix of both.

Yes the current public version of Pygma is no good - I've just been heads down trying to get the complete version working and haven't really been attending to the current plugin.
Root comment states that language skills are required for teaching all subjects, and math is also fundamental to all subjects. Root comment is of the “unpopular opinion” (their words, I consider this phrase to be an emotional appeal when used in this context) that some basic skills are required of everyone in the teaching profession, regardless of the age or subject they teach, and that those basic skills include mathematics.

> it's not "the West" who wants to cut Russia out, it's only the US

The US is really overplaying its hand under Biden, it's quite sad to watch such a complete mishandling of foreign policy and energy policy. This is almost certainly the US presidency that markets the tangible decline of US global order.

I'm not sure if Trump understood this explicitly, but he did implicitly: the correct way to "defend" from Russia and China is not to try to freeze them out, but to make them active participants. If the loss of SWIFT hurts Russia, Russia would have a vested interested in its protection. Instead Biden is desperately trying to force Russia to accelerate SPFS, and in these circumstances they're going to send all of Europe along with Russia.

The self-caused European Energy crisis means that the EU has to play with Russia at this stage in the game. If Biden pushes the removal of Russia from SWIFT, Russia just has to tell the EU "we only accept payment for LNG via SPFS, in Rubles, Euros, or physical delivery of gold". And that's it, Europe immediately is adopting SPFS because the alternative is freezing to death.

The US is not going to ship enough LNG to the EU to keep it going - it's not even going to be able to keep Nord 2 offline. It's such an absolute negligence of foreign policy that I'd almost think the US is intentionally playing into Putin's hand.
The reason Mozilla is implementing Manifest V3 is to maintain cross-browser support for extensions. There are many extensions that will work just fine and not having the new APIs on Firefox would mean just loosing them.
And I’m not saying this as a Google supporter, I hate them, but we have to be objective.
Also, Firefox devs are pushing forward security with better and better site isolation, cookie isolation and now with RLBox. And if they implement more stupid features like themes, it’s totally fine. People complain if Firefox has a low market share and then complain again when they implement user-friendly design things.
In a way I do too. I learned BASIC as a child, before learning any “real” language or domain. I talk to people who are starting from scratch with JavaScript and I try to convince them to start with Scheme or something instead, because starting with something that just taught me the ideas of programming, without doing anything truly useful, turned out to be a huge advantage later on in life. I didn’t think about the browser, the DOM, the operating system, or any real-world use case, just 20 GOTO 10 and getting the computer to print silly words.
Honestly if someone is too stupid to pass a basic math exam they have absolutely no business trying to teach children.
Grandparent was a facetious question intended to deflate the great-grandparent, which suggested that Windows' annoying need to restart for every damn thing was comparable somehow to Linux's update requirements.

Which as parent points out are functionally nonexistent, except for a rare kernel update (and you don't have to restart if your glasses are thick enough to live patch).

I often suggest Manjaro, which is smart enough to do all the updating for you, but is also Arch enough to let you do it all manually.

Oh yeah. My plan is to migrate everything to the NAS, then have that back up to Glacier and/or Rsync.net. By S3, do you mean Glacier?
These are poorly worded questions. Half the issue with “word problem” test questions is that they assume a cultural context or knowledge. The questions should explain themselves more (what is edging?) or choose a better context.
I assume that I’m breaking other countries’ laws all the time, say be criticizing the actions of their governments. I don’t worry about that. I’m much more worried about, say, CCPA compliance while living and working in California. (Not that I’m especially worried it. My personal projects don’t meet any of the criteria which would make it apply to me.)

You’re still in the wrong, don’t be so smug. These few downtimes are no big deal in the grand scheme of things, and your proposed solution would have been more work and headaches for little to no realizable gains, and not to mention the cybersecurity ramifications. Quite frankly, they are probably glad that you’re gone and not around to gloat about every trivial bit of downtime.

physics for example, teaches people how the world actually works... thermodynamics, electricity, light, all useful information for determining fact from fiction when they turn into adults.

During my engineering undergrad I had to take various general education courses related to reading/writing, PE, those sorts of things. It doesn't seem unreasonable for teachers to also take even a pre-calculus course as a part of their studies.

I would assume that taking a course where you're taught by a professor, you can ask questions, practice with homework, work with friends and classmates, etc sounds much more reasonable and similar to real-world scenarios than sitting someone down and having them bubble in answers.

As an anecdote, I was able to get through my Calc I and II courses, received an engineering degree, but today I probably couldn't sit down and complete an exam on some of the content learned in high school math. It's about what you use every day and what you're exposed to through your work. If a fine arts teacher went through 6 years of college without having to do any math courses, I'd expect them to fail a math exam, too. Doesn't make them a poor teacher.
I played my Dreamcast a ton. When I'd get stuck while writing my dissertation (a regular event) I'd think things through while playing a game of hockey. It provided just the right amount of distraction.

I never understood the hype around the PS 2. It was so bad that when I went to the store to buy NHL 2K2, the employee said they no longer made Dreamcast games. She asked the other employee, who said the same thing. I told them the game was being advertised. They called company headquarters and were informed that it was coming out in a few days. They said I was the first customer to ask about the Dreamcast in months.
They sent requests to people where their fake person would not have had any basis to make the requests.
Since worst students have most to improve, I'd think it's efficient not wasteful.
So that you improve the students. So that you give more support to teachers working in harder conditions.
Further, every classroom in some way employs standardized measurement, unless we're talking about classrooms where some students get a fundamentally different exam. For the same reasons of comparable measurements, an instructor for a course would have difficulty knowing how well people are doing if everyone took different tests.

The "standard" part of an exam simply means that the person who is metaphorically sitting next to you doesn't get an easier, harder, or weirder test. IMO this is a return to administrative opacity and favor trading.
Everything except these 2 lines was okay

Well, you can't mine using VPN or proxy because you can't conceal multi-megawatt power consumption that it takes. Prohibition of mining is simply about consumption of electricity which suddenly became in short supply.

Crypto is not banned in China and it is not bannable. Mining of course, is.
The Healthcare Great Migration
A typical multi-MW power-hungry high-tech facility (datacenters, manufacturing, hospitals etc) will have large underground fuel storage tanks big enough to run the full load on generators for couple of days and they are continuously kept refilled via fuel tanker trucks through contracts with bulk fuel distributors. They usually have an SLA of a 40KL tanker in 4 hour notice. In case of advance warning of heavy-rains/floods or other natural disasters that can disrupt road networks, they can have more fuel trucks situated close-by as stand-by. Depending on your contract, you may have priority over other customers in the area. These are fairly standard practices.
Heya, thanks, it's a new site setup, so it's super helpful to hear about your experience with it -- I'll get that clarified.

Egress from aws is not cheap.

At $50/month scale a lot of things are possible. Most companies cannot store their data in a hard disk in a safe. If you can, then cloud is a convenience not a necessity for you. I.e. you are perfectly fine running your storage stack for the most part.

My company is not very big(100ish employees) and we pay $200k+ for AWS in just storage and AWS is not even out primary cloud. If we have to do what you have, it is probably in bandwidth costs alone another $500k. Add running costs in another cloud and recurring bandwidth for transfers , retrieval from Glacier for older data on top of that.[1]

Over 3 years that would be easily $1-$1.5 million in net new expenses for us scale.

No sane business is going to sign off on +3x storage costs on a risk that cannot be easily modeled[2] and costs that cannot be priced into the product, just so one sysadmin can sleep better at night.

[1]your hard disk in a safe third component is not sensible discussion point at reasonable scale.

[2] this would be probability of data loss with AWS * business cost of losing that data > cost of secondary system.

Or probability of data availablity event(like now) * business cost of that > cost of an active secondary system .

For almost no business in the world the either equation would be valid.

For example even the cost is 100B dollars in revenue with 6 nines of durability the expected loss would be only $10,000 (100B * 0.000001) a secondary system is much costlier than that.
That's quite a markup you're experiencing. A conversion based on US prices makes it seem like you should be able to get that stuff for a little more than sixty Euros. If you can get it at all: availability is tough right now all over, I assume.

Is that price difference about shipping costs or VAT or what?

Yes, the prepaid visa is something we've looked at although the payments to users are recurring so we really want time to be able to store ongoing payments as a balance and then transfer to their own bank account whenever they want.

> What I find hilarious is it was suggested instead of the test, a mathematics course in undergrad.

A math course in undergrad should of course be required if you're going to teach, y'know, math. In fact, all teachers should have the equivalent of a full undergrad education wrt. the subject they're expected to teach. The fact that we don't require this explains much about the failings of our K12 education system.

I guess the question is, if someone emails you an archive of jpg files to share on your public website, will you? Without looking at them?

You'd think, but alas, no.

At least with the old Lync/Skype clients, you could flip them into UI-suppression mode and drive them with COM, to replace their UI with a custom application, if you wanted to make that investment.

Potentially you could cobble together enough Graph API calls to make a lackluster restricted-feature client, but it would be a mess.
Tinder and Bumble are the same form of awful and from the same founder. These apps are designed to exploit men. There are a fewer number of women on them and plenty of men, as a result they design features like boost, super likes, and premium subscriptions that you must pay for every month. There are studies and data that show that even normally attractive men with good profiles will go unswiped while women will get hundreds[1][2]. You then have to deal with a dating scene where you are knowingly competing with other men for a woman's attention while having very little in the form of options. The irony behind a TOS like this is it's designed to prevent bad behavior, but the entire underlying system generates more bad behavior. This is not to even mention the number of OnlyFans, prostitution, and people lying about their sexual orientation that users will need to sift through.

And I think you should stick to Firefox (just as I’ll do).
It will be built on top of the system web view, so chromium on Windows and WebKit on macOS.
It will be minimal and lack extensions, and I can’t imagine living without extensions. And if you don’t use any I recommend you to try some.
I see no point in this browser, as it will basically be a Firefox Focus for desktop.
An important moment and transformation, well-described. Thanks for sharing it :)

I think this should lead you to re-evaluate your assumptions about hooks, because there is a reason why React has blown Angular out of the water. The reactive hooks model of UI development is successful because it allows you to write almost any component as a stateless function with well-defined side-effects. Yes, it requires a different way of writing them, but it's worth it for complex applications.

The fact that hooks like usePromise and useInterval can be trivially written on top of standard web APIs and guarantee that your component hierarchy will update consistently without dealing with internal state is a groundbreaking achievement. I think you are focusing too much on the fact that hooks like usePromise exist, instead of on what they enable.

Have you ever used usePromise, and seen how it turns a stateful object into a stateless one? It has never been so easy to encapsulate asynchronous state.
Oh, our society, especially America's, is overly litigious. I agree.

But, pushing back a bit (in good faith), do you think asking an entity for your data, or asking them to delete it, should really be considered unusual and panic provoking? I said in another comment the same thing, but do you think this could be a moment of cultural learning?

I am an academic and I am against this type of study. My main objection is that it wastes the valuable time of the website operator for little benefit. It is immoral to waste people's time.

Many IRBs are unaware that these kinds of "public surveys" unduly burden respondents and cause them unnecessary stress.

The little benefit will be a series of graphs indicating how site operators respond, which could be interesting, but does not justify the burden.
OP here. Yes, I had to send "money" to China, for a service rendered in the US, while I am physically in London. It was a totally legitimate transaction and had nothing to do with anything dark market or drug related.

In that case the response should have been just that, presumably. Nothing prevents you from making requests, they just might not be answered.
I have a pulse princess phone on the kitchen wall that is still working and is attached to the original Motorola VT-1005 ATA that Vontage provided when they first started in 1995. I have had this unit in continuous use and it receives pulse dialing as well as provides a very robust ring voltage/current. The web interface for this ATA does not allow configuration settings and the unit attempts to retrieve an FTP configuration file on boot from the provider.

Someone on dslreports.com years ago reverse engenered and worked out the format of the config. file and created a config file creator program as well as a serial script to hook to its TTL serial port to change the address of the TFTP server. I now have it providing two analog lines from voip.ms that have a strong enough REN to power several old analog phones with real bells in the house.

It even allows you to pulse dial class five codes like disable call waiting and call voice mail. EX. 1,1,6,9 = *69 if touch tone dialing.

HDMI 2.1? I've yet to see a computer which supports it though. Even the latest macbooks don't support it - which is one of their biggest downsides. Why include port that's outdated in the moment when you put it?
You seem extremely unconvinced that any harm was done to the people who were sent scrambling by this alarm. It's as though no matter how convincing the email was, no matter how much of the recipient's time was wasted, no matter how many thousands of dollars they spent on lawyers, you ascribe all blame to the recipient for not having realized they were being deceived — and ascribe no blame whatsoever to the email's author for being deceitful.

This whole discussion was had in the old thread, and there was one person who used the same rhetorical device of belaboring the same question over and over again. It was tiresome.
