Lots of weird extremely Russian-patriot sounding comments in this thread. Russia is sending paratroopers because they don't want another Ukraine situation. They don't want Kazakhstan to break away from Russia because of a popular uprising like Ukraine did. And it's a lot easier for them to prevent it than it was for Ukraine because Ukraine doesn't border Europe so the west won't protest it as much. I expect a whole lot of bloodshed is about to happen and I'm not looking forward to it. Best of luck to the Khazak populace.
Does anyone know what the ramifications are for other EU countries, legally? They get the fine because they've broken French law, but that French law (I think?) exists as an implementation of EU law. If they now update their dialogs in France but not in, say, the Netherlands, can a Dutch court/data protection agency refer to this decision?
Everyone should probably get a landline for emergency since the duopoly have now saturated the market & couldn't care about basic phone functions in a 'phone'.

I thought people loosing their jobs over failed alarms was disaster[1] , It seems plausible that people might have lost their life due to this bug.

I bet no ads on phone could be interrupted by a rogue app /S.

Interesting comment, just so I understand a little better -- do you have a dash cam and have you used it to get footage of any of the many road rage incidents you find yourself in to give to the police? If so, did the police achieve any result, and if not do you expect the police and courts would be inclined to get the morons of the road for you if you were able to furnish them with such evidence?
I would dispute that. BB was perfectly aware of the changing market, and it did all-touchscreen devices and things. It also did BBM for Android.

But I don't think the company realised how much smartphones were surpassing them, so they were very late to move to a smartphone platform. When they did, it was to QNX – the basis of BB10 – and it was a very good OS, but it was too late.

It reminds me of Palm and PalmOS. When it became clear that they needed to move to ARM, they talked to Symbian about using it as the basis of the new ARM PalmOS. That would have been a killer platform – but they didn't do it.

https://www.theregister.com/2000/11/14/palm_cto_rubbishes_30...

The company decided against an absolutely superb option which would have given them a major technological advantage.

Instead, the replaced their bought-in 68K kernel Kadak AMX, which actually did multitasking but Palm didn't pay for that option (!) – with their own emulator thing, MCK, meaning that ARM PalmOS (PalmOS 5 "Garnet") was still single-tasking with almost no multimedia support.

Then PalmSource bought the remnants of Be, using it to make PalmOS 6, "Cobalt".

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18956

I read a lot about Cobalt and it looked amazing for 2003-2004. But nobody shipped phones with it – not even Palm itself. Instead, they... licensed Windows CE.

A second disastrously bad decision. Few companies survive their first, but Palm did it and survived long enough to do it again.
If a company does that then it doesn't need to show a button in the first place - both are an equally invalid basis for data processing.
My friend does something similar for majority of online communication, every time he refers to something potentially illegal/ immoral/ shares some weird experience he uses "my friend" instead of "I"
Google and Facebook are publicly traded companies. Indirectly, I own shares in both. I'm not American, nor are many of their workers, nor are many of their officies, nor is Sundar Pichai. Crucially, these 'customers' are French and, like you and I, if you want to sell things (belonging) to French people in France, you have to follow French laws. Assigning nationalities to companies is bizarre.
> No it not an option unless you are going to pay the cancellation and rescheduling fees of hotels and other transport for everyone.

The customer can buy extra insurance for that, or buy a ticket from a company that provides it. Such companies would be very motivated to only offer routes that operate at very high capacity to avoid paying.

> So more tax on middle class people?

How is this "class" dependent?

> So are you prepared to pay higher prices for everything which is transported by fossil fuels,

We are already paying the price for this. Both in cash (e.g. the price of insurance for homes for natural disasters has skyrocketed due to global warming in certain areas), and in a lower future quality of life for yourself and your children.

I'd rather have the people that use fossil fuels pay for them, instead of everybody else.

I get that some people like to travel by plane - i do too - and that sometimes you really want to eat that fruit that has been transported by boat from 20.000km away, instead of buying the food that's available locally. I sometimes like that too.

You seem to think that innocent children should pay with a lower quality of life to allow you to do these unsustainable things cheaply.

I strongly disagree with you here.

Pollution, climate damage, etc. has to be priced in.
If that avocado from 5.000km away were to cost 1000 $ instead of 2$ people would think twice about it.

The claim that we shouldn't do this because this only impacts non rich people is flawed. There are many things rich people can do, like buying a lambo, that poor people cannot do. Your claim that poor people somehow have the right to get a lambo, or for that matter, eat avocados, is false. These things are not "rights".
> the law forces companies to react a certain way in order to avoid legal trouble.

The vast majority of cookie popups are illegal.

Hopefully the EU will continue enforcing until people actually either implement them legally or realise the tracking isn't worth the cost
Interesting - I (Amazon employee) have a buddy at Grafana who brags about it all the time. I've tinkered with it, and found it slightly more functional than iGraph, but a lot prettier. What do you think iGraph does better?

+1 on Pipelines being amazing. A lot of people tell me Jira is better than SIM - haven't had a chance to use the former.
I thought the spirit of the law was to annoy users, who don't care about being tracked, with popups.
Doesn't sound questionable. In fact it sounds exactly what my bank does.

Unless of course cryptocurrency really is about anonymity, tax evasion and laundering money.
nemesis is a strong word, competitor sounds much better
That's a funny one since Huel and Soylent kinda came about because of the 1920s meme idea that pills would replace meals in the future. A lot of these might just be self fulfilling prophecies.
> but the demand is practically nonexistent.

You mispelled "the way for me to monetize it is practically non-existent".
Why? If that gets me free stuff I'm fine with being tracked.

Why don't we let users decide instead of letting a vocal minority dictate laws that ruin everyone's browsing experience?
Color me skeptical. The cost-security tradeoff of PoW fundamentally relies on using more energy until it becomes expensive (relative to crypto revenue). If energy is cheap ("), someone will consume additional capacity.

Solar, geothermal, wind, nuclear et al. are cleaner (from an energy production standpoint, and mostly from a generator production standpoint), but still have fundamental capacity limits.

"We're going to burn {currentWorldPower}+1, forever" isn't a viable end state.
The study mentions average, not median, which is bound to significantly distort.
> BB10 OS was something special.

It really was, and the BB Hub was fantastic. My Passport was the first Blackberry I owned, because all the earlier ones were just too small for my big hands. I could type on a Passport. Not super-fast, but way more accurately than on any touchscreen, so in the end it balanced out:

slower text entry — less time fixing errors = faster messaging.
> Kazakh elite keeps its money in western banks, flies western planes to western capitals and owns land and property in top western locations. Same for Russian elite.

So does the Russian elite as you say, even Putin himself. The US's currency is the reserve currency of the world and the currency most commerce is done in so western banks are used. They also are much more stable than banks in their own countries where other elites could steal their money. This doesn't mean that the US or the west is somehow controlling their countries.
You hit the nail on the head but also missed it too - unexpected deaths can occur at any age, so it's not impossible that this could happen to the owner of an extremely popular repo.
You can definitely fork the project, but there's more continuity if the existing project can be transferred to a different owner, or a notice added to the readme pointing the reader to the forked project. What about the deceased's private repos (which may or may not be important), or their account in general?

This is all quite fresh in my mind as I'm currently working through closing all my father's accounts down after he died recently, and social media accounts are much more difficult to deal with in some ways than utilities, insurances etc.
Does this only apply to dying? "if you cannot" implies that it could relate to other states of permanent incapacity (my dad has late stage dementia with no personal capacity, so this issue is front of mind for me) but then it goes on about needing a death certificate, etc. A power of attorney or similar would also seem appropriate for taking over this role.
I definitely do not call myself an engineer. I make glorified blogs.
It's striking that most of his true predictions were already in place in the sixties, a mere 40 years after the article was written (and some, much earlier). When we think about the distant future we simply think about tomorrow.

There’s nothing wrong with cookie laws in the EU, they don’t exist anymore and have been completely replaced by GDPR.

GDPR is a pretty simple law, if you want to collect personal data on people, you need to get their informed consent. Just like you need their informed consent to have sex with them.

How you get that consent is up to each company, but GDPR lays some pretty clear rules about what doesn’t count as informed consent. Such as creating flows or pop ups that encourage people to click accept button, or by trying to bundle multiple unrelated consents together under a single button. How you present that UI isn’t specified, you could use a cookie banner, or you could just respect Do No Track headers etc.

Equally the law doesn’t care if you use cookies, or local storage or anything else. It only cares if your collecting personal data. Not how you’re collecting it. If you’re using cookies for legitimate reasons like enabling user sessions, no need for a banner, you’re not collecting personal data without consent.

Companies have chosen this hellscape of cookie banner etc in an attempt to skirt the law and avoid doing what should be doing. Letting people use the internet without having their every click tracked and aggregated.

Thankfully we’re now starting to see more enforcement showing this type of bullshit won’t be tolerated. Soon people will start getting rid of cookie banner etc, once it becomes clear that their a fig leaf that won’t protect them from legal repercussions, and that they’ll make more money by asking for consent nicely and not punishing people for refusing.
That’s funny, the same is the case with small children in China. Instead of “我饿了” (I’m hungry) they could say “人家饿了” which is something like “people are hungry”. This is also seen as cute and naturally goes away as they get older.

Cloudflare at least is DNS over HTTPS. They'd have to block all traffic to 1.1.1.1 to prevent you using it, they couldn't selectively block pirate bay.
> By forcing every website to implement the same functionality for cookie prompts.

Can you expand on that? If you mean the GDPR, my reading is that it is unlawful to collect identifiable user data without informed consent. If a website does not collect data, then no problem. If a website wants to collect data, it must ask permission and give control to the user over the data. How the website implements this is not mandated.

Agreed.

And the square screen meant no need to flip your device between portrait and landscape mode all the time – an annoyance we don't notice much on basically all other smartphones because we do it so much.

If it'd caught on, maybe we wouldn't be plagued with millions of portrait-oriented photos and pictures from people who don't know how to use their device's camera.

I'd be pretty happy if regulators followed these all the way down into other operators (especially as uneven application of law tends to look a little like a shakedown.) It would do a lot for the internet in general.

The business model of generated content + algorithmic ads made the internet a worse place to find information/purchase products/etc. These sites crowd out small, specialist and hobbyist websites in search results and don't usually provide the content they advertise. They exist to earn microcents per impression and use any trick possible to look like a legitimate search result. It's these websites which are the worst offenders - opting out of tracking is drawn out and they prompt with every visit.

On the topic of cleaning up the crud - I also think search engines could play a better role here, as there are many sites that will turn up in just about any search request, despite not really having meaningful content (e.g. pinterest, amazon, etc.)
Imagine (or rather dream) of a browser interface that prompts you if a site may save cookies (similar to location) instead of site-by-site interfaces
With how public facing this trial has been, it'd be political suicide to pardon her. Unless new evidence exonerating her were to surface.
Russia's sending paratroopers and it's somehow the US interfering? Lol? Khazakistan is under Russia's wing. Russia props up the dictatorship to help Russia. This uprising is a popular uprising.
his argument is that if not even the commission, which presumably would adhere to the regulation they themselves have written do it correctly, it suggests that the rules for cookies are different from what you claim.

> But why is such a dysfunctional dictatorship so stable? Why did it last for three decades?

Ceaușescu went from addressing a mass crowd in the square to execution in five days after ruling for about 25 years. Dictatorships are like steam boilers: so long as the pressure is contained, everything looks fine, until suddenly it isn't.

(Interestingly having looked him up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolae_Ceau%C8%99escu he's one of the few leaders to have achieved what is now denounced as "neoliberal", the paying down of the country's national debt. It only took starving the country to do it.)
Look what happened to Armenia that tried to appease both Russia and the West.

I think the demand is high but doesn’t show up in some dumb ways that people think represents demand.

I get tons of requests in my web logs for my RSS feed. And I’m not a big site or anything, just have a scrub personal blog.

So that’s lots of demand.

I suspect that every platform owner sees their rss requests and sees it as high. So any claims that there’s no demand without clarifying that they don’t get http gets for RSS feeds seems disingenuous to me.

“I don’t see any demand for RSS when I ignore looking at all the RSS requests I get tiny site.”

IPv6 networks, by specification, are (almost) always /64 - that is, your subnetwork can have 2^64 nodes on it - which means that any EUI-64 device (A device with a 64 Bit MAC address - Ethernet Devices with 48 bits commonly extend to 64 bits by stuffing 16 bits (FF:FE) in the middle) can automatically determine its own IPv6 address by just concatenating the Network + MAC address. No Stateful DHCP server required.

I'm more curious as to why the /80. This is the very first time I've seen anything less than a /64. Without digging into the details, I'm guessing(?) that the network is a /64 (almost certainly), and on that network there can be /16 nodes (65536), each of which can have /48 (300 Trillion) vhosts.

And I thought I had left CIDR behind with IPv4... Sigh.
I went to school with a young kazak person I don't want to reveal to much about them, but let me just say this. Their parents had direct contact to the state and they were unaccountably rich went to an insanely expensive private school and owned various apartments all across Europe. The west DOES benefit from the corruption related to those states.
It’s not a petty crime to trade in peoples private information. Prison sounds a bit harsh though. Especially for the cookie banner end of the spectrum. I’d save that for execs of companies that actually make money in the actual trade of PII.

>Similar reforms apply to cooking, a great deal of which will survive among old fashioned people, but a great deal more of which will probably be avoided by the use of synthetic foods.

This is very interesting especially if you think "synthetic foods" not just literally but as take out, processed products and such. I know a lot of young professional people who technically never cook. Like almost never and whatever they have at home is just snacks, if you hungry > order. There are a lot people like these.

>It is conceivable, though not certain, that in 2022 a complete meal may be taken in the shape of four pills. This is not entirely visionary; I am convinced that corned beef hash and pumpkin pie will still exist, but the pill lunch will roll by their side.

Well Soylent do exist so that's not far fetched either.

Not that outlandish. My shower glass is covered in high tech hydrophobic substance which keeps it clean, but I have to replace it every couple of years. My kid's high chair is covered in easily washable rubber surface that I can literally peel off after a meal, rinse, and replace.

So overall, practical idea that is partially applied.

Hubris? I think he was right, and that the world of 1822 was more different from 1922 than 1922 is to now. Computers seem to be the primary novel invention in the last hundred years, but long-distance data transfer was normal - and the fax machine sending pictures was overseas was just two years away (1924).

1822 was a horse-drawn, gas-lit world that was in many ways the same as it had been for millennia. 1922 was a world where rapid transportation (planes , trains, and automobiles),recorded images and sounds, electric light, radio broadcasts and instantaneous intercontinental communication.

That’s how GDPR works. Most EU regulation focuses on outcomes, as opposed to specific methodologies.

Results in many Americans complaining about how difficult to interpret the regulation is, due to lack of specificity (US regulation tends to be highly specific). But makes it much harder to people skirt the intent of the law, because the intent is written into the law and used as the benchmark to determine compliance. This approach does require a transition process so businesses and regulators can figure out how to meet the intent of law in their specific situation, and create implement guidelines. But over the long term produces more flexible law that adapts to technical and social change better.
