The requirements to be subject to the CCPA are any of: have a gross annual revenue of over $25MM; buy, receive, or sell the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents; derive 50% of more of your annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information. Yes, I believe that if they emailed only sites for which that was true, I would have no issues with the study.

The requirements to comply with the GDPR are much, much stricter and have a much more outsized effect on small, non-commercial site operators. There are no exceptions to the GDPR for non-profits or non-corporate entities. (except a limited carveout for "household processing" that AIUI has been interpreted very narrowly by the courts). I do not think the GDPR is strict enough in this instance, and I think it would have outsized harms on small and non-corporate operators to email them in this way if your only criteria is "could technically be subject to the GDPR in some possible world".
Since it's got such a low market share, it's much easier to declare your website "not compatible with Firefox" than it is to test on Firefox, even though 99% of sites that claim they're not compatible with Firefox work perfectly as soon as you spoof your user-agent to WebKit.

Not Arabs (and not 100% sure about berbers) since Arabs didn’t arrive until the Arab invasions in the 7-800s AD. Peoples idea about the northern Middle East and North Africa is relatively skewed by modern day demographics. This is why people poke fun at pictures of Jesus for not being Arab or black despite the fact he was likely to look similar to Syrians etc or other groups native to the region. They are projecting the modern day into the past.

PE instructors were the worst discriminators. They gave out grades based on physical performance. Looking at old class pictures, the lowest percentile could be easily identified (also corresponding to the last picked when building teams). I hope this has changed.

Thing is, I would cheerfully process a deletion request, even though I don’t have to because I don’t meet the criteria to be subject to the CCPA. For me, part of the deception was quoting a law and incorrectly saying it obligated me to reply to their information request by a certain deadline. The law says no such thing, and getting a letter from someone who quotes specific legal codes almost never ends with “…and then they went out for dinner, newly found lifelong friends.”
When I was a student I had to be decent in every subject. Why would teachers have less strict requirements? Surely they were once students.

Interesting observation. I have not read the whole document, but based on Table 6.2 (page 34 of the PDF) it looks like almost all of the difference between ethnic groups comes from the people who took the test in French:

| % Successful (EN) | % Successful (FR)
White | 86% | 84%
Non-White | 82% | 55%

This seems quite strange to me. I am curious to know whether the French version is merely a translation of the English version, or there are other differences?

-------------------

PS. I just realized these so I'm gonna add them here.

There is a little bit of ambiguity about Table 6.2. Does the it French column refer to people who wrote the French version of the test (as the paragraph [33] of the ruling suggests), or does it refer to the languages the candidate spoke (as the existence of a "English+French" column suggests)?

Also, the vast majority of the candidates are Anglophones, so the overall difference is not as large as the above numbers may suggest. Overall, it's more like 80% (Non-White) vs 86% (White). (https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28526%2B33%29%2F%2852...) Table 7 of the ruling has a more detailed ethnic breakdown.
Yeah, me too. I don’t collect stats on visitors anymore (using Google Analytics for example) because I now understand the privacy implications of doing so. I do use a simple impression counter but I capture no information (not IP, not browser, nothing). I definitely think about the CCPA and ADA laws, but I’m relatively sure they don’t apply to me. Still, I certainly think about them.
Syrians definitely are Caucasian (unless they are 100% Arab I guess, but I’m not sure there’s all that many of those in Syria.) If Syrians don’t count as white I don’t see how Greeks can be or many other Balkan peoples.

Is that how you would respond to any GDPR-related request? GDPR legally requires you to respond to requests within a month. If someone making a request points that out to you, you may feel like you've been threatened. That doesn't change the law.

Nope. 3-2-1 strategy. 3 Backups, 2 Medias, 1 Offsite. Now try to delete files from the media in my safe. Only I have a key.

Sure, your threat model may vary. But relying on cloud only for your backup is simply not enough. If you split access for your AWS backup and your DC backup to two different people, you mitigated your thread model. If you only have 1 backup location, that's going to be very hard.
Yeah, I saw some setups doing that. It seems like too much hackery involving a very core piece of network hardware, which is something I’d prefer to avoid. Fortunately it wasn’t my connection so I could live easier with deciding to keep the ONT.
People to whom the law doesn't apply are not necessarily very familiar with the details of this, and thus are going to be cautious if presented with what appears to be a legal threat. For a pro, this is easy to reply to, for random hobbyists it's not.

I've also had a really suprising experience with my linux gaming setup: Playing old retro windows game has become easier, because wine can run a suprising amount of things. I recently itched to play Civ2 and after some wrangling with the setup file, I can now run Civ2 entirely transparently on my linux box. Same for a bunch of other Win95-era games - no need to fiddle with compat settings on windows and hoping, a lot of them just work in wine. That's pretty amazing.

The only thing I've found so far that just doesn't work is Tiberium Insurrection, because it does some weird things I don't understand. But with the way Win11 is going, I rather take that kinda problem.

Are they though? Let’s look at what the recent AWS outages have been: a single region (but AWS makes multi-region easy). The biggest impact to most people is the AWS console, something that one seldom actually needs given AWS is API driven. If the same type of outage happened on OVH then you’d lose KVM to your physical servers. But you seldom need those either.

The Azure outage was just AD service but you can roll your own there if you wanted.

Plus if you want to talk about SaaS then OVH et al have their own SaaS too. In fact the difference between OVH and AWS is more about scale than it is about reliability (with AWS you can buy hardware and rack it in AWS just like with OVH too).

Or maybe by “old skool” you mean the few independent hosts that don’t offer SaaS. However they’re usually pretty small fry and this outages are less likely to be reported. Whereas any AWS service going down is massive news.

I’m not a cloud-fanboy by any means (I actually find AWS the least enjoyable to manage from a purely superficial perspective) but I’ve worked across a number of different hosting providers as well as building out HA systems on prem and the anti-cloud sentiment here really misses the pragmatic reality of things.

There are many replacements for tech savvy people, but few for people who lack the skills or time to futz around with configurations and installs and software updates.

Just to add that S3 supports a compliance object lock that can't even be overridden by the root user. Also AWS doesn't delete your account or data until 90 days after the account is closed.

Between these two protections, it's pretty hard to lose data from S3 if you really want to keep it. I would guess they are better protections than you could achieve in your own self managed DC.

I'm guessing AWS has some clause in their contract that means they can refuse to deal with you or even return any of your data if they feel like it. Not sure if that's ever happened, but still worth considering it.

Have kids in (edit) elementary school right now and it is pretty bad. There is no rigor and time for practice. Back in the day you would get homework but now that's pretty close to useless or teachers don't grade it. As a parent I have to supplement work after seeing what the schools are leaving students with. For now, it is working but it really should not be my job.

We had one elementary teacher in particular who stated that there was 1 study done in some Nordic country that proved homework does not help. (reference to said study was not provided). Interesting that if you look at high school there is tons of homework; same for university. If that 1 study had any merit it would have applied across all levels. The real truth is that practice makes perfect. But teacher unions do not want that burden on teachers and students suffer in the end. I do not get why elementary schools don't assign homework (I have no doubt private elementary schools do - they get better results).

If you have a parent who recognizes this short changing and is capable of supplementing the education there is a chance for recovery or at least mitigating a decline.
Well, obviously, it goes without saying.

But none of that changes the fact that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.
Scraping dating is not imposing work, worry and cost on additional people.

The victims of scraping are not going to do any additional work unless the scraped data is used irresponsibly, but that is separate from the act of scraping.

This email required people to do work and caused worry due to the legal threat that the email tried to lead people to believe was applicable to them. They may have had cost if they called a lawyer and it definitely took their time.

Scraping -> no work forced upon victims. That email -> work forced on unwilling victims.

As the document clearly lays out, any teacher can be required to teach math, only for higher levels it is behind additional certifications.

And many classes have overlaps, e.g. at least around here language classes are also where a good chunk of media literacy happens, for which a basic understanding of math is sort-of needed.

Having worked on delivering portable Linux binaries that had to access OpenGL/Vulkan and audio - yeah, no, it's actually difficult and requires tons of Linux experience. Unless you just want to target some arbitrary subset of 'popular distros', but that's not actually portable.

Shipping a Win32 .exe _is_ the easiest way to get portable Linux games. It will work on _every single distro that has wine_, including weird ones like NixOS or Void or Ubuntu 14. It's an unfortunate fact, but the Linux userland ecosystem is extremely hostile to binaries built outside of a distro's ecosystem.

Send me a tarball of something that draws a Vulkan cube, plays music and responds to user inputs - and I'll eat my hat if it runs on every Linux machine I have in my house.

I did. So what does that tell you?

IIRC they say 1% of every natural cork is tainted. I don't know which wines you drink, but lets assume natural cork is for "fine" wine. So you would expect to buy 100 bottles of not-so-cheap wine to have 1 tainted. Again, I don't know which wine you drink or how often, but maybe this puts it in a broader light.

All of your criticisms of IE6 are fair and on point, but if you recall IE7 was Microsoft putting the gang back together again and trying to put some effort in again. Still not a great browser, but still a marked point where they abandoned their abandonment of Internet Explorer as a project.

Google also originally piggy backed on WebKit to build their browser. The JavaScript runtime was homegrown, but Google worked within WebKit before forking out of there. My guess is when Google Chrome is eventually overtaken, it will be by another Chromium-based browser under similar circumstances.

The web also isn’t just desktop browsers anymore. It’s much harder to make the case that Google Chrome is the only major browser of concern with MobileSafari running around, and per Apple’s policies, WebKit the only useful browser engine on iOS and iPadOS.
