Friendly heads up - this isn't a word, and also happens to be one of those slip-ups that people will judge you extra hard for. Say either "regardless" or "irrespective".
MagSafe USB should really be a thing. But Apple hold the patent on it which first came with MacBook Pro 2006. It will be a few more years before they expire.

I do wish USB starting working on that now though.
Not to be a bummer but:

- don't get a pet thinking it's all fun and games. It' a huge responsibility and you have to take care of them constantly. Even going on holiday becomes a lot more difficult because you have to find someone to take care of it and trust that person and possibly pay them which adds on the whole holiday cost.

- go church - if you are religious maybe? What would you do there as an atheist?

- Talk to neighbours? Must be an American thing here in London people actively avoid one another. I've barely ever spoken to neighbour and that's if I get stuck in lift with them.

- engaging in casual conversation with people who work there... as someone who did this job long time ago I can tell you I couldn't care less people talking to me, you are just an obstacle to finishing my shift.

- random collisions with people rarely lead to friendships you need organised regular events where you meet the same people and eventually befriend.
Yes. If it's not technically necessary then don't do it. Host the fonts yourself rather than letting Google track people to your site.
We bought one of this kit for our daughter when she was ~10 year old. It has a the explanation of a few projects and the components to put in the breakboard. She liked it, and we bought some additional components, like a 7 segment display and leds of additional colors.
It's certainly a bit unclear how to compare one country to another.

You have to go to Compare Countries , and it automatically selects a home country. You have to click the small link in the text to select a different home country.
I am not picking any side here. I don't know the developer, and I don't know Google. My comment was more on the philosophical side, showing that someone is making a claim that he can not prove. This applies to a lot of stuff that is posted online, and the problem is people just take things for granted, when a lot of them are just some claims by unknown people. Anyway, I don't expect most of the people to understand the nuances, but maybe at least 1 person will open their eyes due to this thread.
Patreon isn't subcontracting hosting, the hosting customer of vimeo is clearly the creators and not Patreon. Patreon is as far as I can tell still doing their obligations: collect money, host feeds of posts. That these posts contain references to videos that creators uploaded to vimeo and that have now been taken down is not (legally) their problem.

If Patreon had used Vimeo as a video backend and didn't pay them, that would a problem. But Patreon has very clearly not done that, but merely made it easier for creators to use vimeo videos from the creators accounts in posts. Patreon has no obligation to the subscribers to still provide content that the creator has failed to still make available. That the end-users didn't know how videos end of on the platform doesn't magically create an obligation for Patreon.

Creators might have a better shot if Patreon in any way misled or provided bad information, but from what little I've publicly seen even that seems unlikely. Overall situation sucks quite a bit.

You should be able to scan is as fast because ignoring the 3 lines with additional spacing is easy.

The browser is the user-agent, ie. an agent acting on behalf of the user. The browser chose to fetch the font, based on the orinal response. It could be configured not to.
But you cannot with a straight face claim that work is optional if not
working leads to starvation and eventually death. The difference
between a ferrari and existence is that that the latter is a
right. Every human has the right to exist but none has the right to
own a ferrari. It's notable that the punishment you think is suitable
for non-workers (e.g. death) is usually reserved for the most heinous
of crimes. The conclusion is that you and the rest of society deem
non-working a worse crime than, say, assault which only nets you a few
years in prison.

> You don’t have to starve if you don’t work. You are welcome to grow
your own food, fish and hunt, and sustain yourself without working.

You are repeating arguments I have already addressed.

A better model than equating money with value is workfree societies
driven by voluntarism. I have given you many examples of those, so you
cannot claim that you haven't seen better models. Indeed, there is
ample evidence to suggest that the current model is not the best we
can do but you seem unable to consider that evidence.

> Where’s your proof? The fact that some people like to spend their
free time saving lives or writing code?

Yes? That those communities exist within a work-centric society
strongly suggests that work is not required for humans to do useful
tasks.
Everyone else holding eth just got a little richer :)
I've briefly encountered mainframes in the 90s. I thought it was a perfect analogy to AWS where "intelligence" is in the center and we're just piping stuff over the network for AWS to compute. I don't understand how selfhosted/self-provisioned servers is supposedly comparable to a mainframe, on the contrary.

> It's 2022 and we're about to rediscover something we know for 40 years already: mainframes are freaking expensive.

My interpretation: AWS is freaking expensive, AWS is in the center performing all computations; AWS is the mainframe we can well do without.

That was due to a misreading on my part.

Quite the opposite, it gave the impression you are willing to waste your time.
Buhurt,

You will meet so many colourful interesting people from every horizon, origins, political views, ...

I guess it would be the same for every young small and growing sport or communities
The part I find hard to understand is how you decide whether it is a necessity to load external content.

For example, say I want to embed an instagram post on my website. You could argue that I should talk to the person who took the picture and get a license for the image so that I can host i on my own domain rather than loading the content for instagram. In practice this is obviously much, much more cumbersome than embedding the IG post and so would result in huge changes how websites work (by vastly reducing any externally loaded content).

In a similar vein, you could argue that serving cached content from another host is not strictly necessary. Why not just run your own caching servers? It's probably worse in most ways (my cache server << cloudflare's cache server), but if minimising the amount of content loaded from external hosts is your aim then it is feasible.
“Readable” is equivalent to “I am used to reading code like that” rather than “there is some idealised metric that defines readability”

You are mistaking your own habits for your rationality
I have to say that this is such an example of new technology being scary but the problems with old technology being ignored.

I'm still waiting for the ability to have mail received from someone or a company without giving such parties my name and physical address. This could very easily be implemented in many ways, but somehow does not exist.

There is no reason for a mail order company to know my full name and physical address to deliver anything to do, and I feel this sis far more compromising than an i.p. address.
Yeah, I think https://www.rechtambild.de/2018/09/kein-schadensersatz-bei-c... references the decision I was remembering.

That’s just another thing your users don’t care about.
I don't think that's the case everywhere. In Switzerland at least, if I send you money by mistake, I can claim that money back and you would have to give it back to me, even if you have spent it already - unless you can reasonably claim that you were unaware that this money was not meant for you.

As a result, if I received a large amount of money that I coulnd't explain, I would contact the sender or the bank first. I can't just spend it immeditaly and claim that I had no idea.
I am not sure you can avoid it. Very large numbers of people do not want to live in a world where you succeed.

I was on a project in the 00's that had similar dynamics. Good people quit talking to me. Eventually, I realized I would hate it myself and moved on.

Take care.
I’m guessing this author doesn’t regularly order delivery for a family or a group larger than three.

If, say, my brother is over I need to order at least 3 pizzas including something vegan and a salad for my wife. Specifying all of that over the phone while somebody is at the store with everything going on in the background is always a PITA.

Plenty of places have order systems that allow guest checkout with no account if you don’t want to create one.

That's an opt-out and GPDR requires an opt-in.

> you are knowingly using a piece of software that has, and has always had, the default behaviour of autoloading remote resource links it finds in HTML

Actually, most people don’t actually know that. And why would they? Why should they get bogged down in such technical minutiae? Why require users to play tedious uBlock whack-a-mole of enabling resources from external domains until the website starts working in order to have any semblance of privacy?

Just because something is common doesn’t make it right.
No, that's not a criteria for “personal information” under GDPR.

Your name or your date of birth or your postal address isn't unique either, but they are still personal information.
Hey, can you tell me what phone you are using and what exactly do you mean by "crashes my phone"?

Thanks for the design feedback. The theme is new. The language itself is new. The static generator is new. Sidebar issue on mobile, and contrast issue we are aware of and are working on. Markdown styling is not a trivial issue to fix as we do not allow authors or theme builders to access CSS directly, [1] is the design we have come up with.

Interacting with a contract by sending it tokens (and having no idea what the outcome will be) is about as risky behaviour as you can imagine, and is quite a lot like using a low level API to circumvent the guardrails put in place by typical payment processors.

Certainly client and wallet UX can be dramatically improved to mitigate these problems. And education more generally about the risks of interacting with smart contracts, which there are many.
What I wrote / what they saw
Going office doesn't guarantee you will meet friend worthy people, if there aren't any. Where I work it's mostly older people in their 40's and 50s as someone in my late 20s there's 0 chance I'll make or want to make friends with them. We have nothing in common.
There are, of course, other industries with financial incentives against safety features. We usually regulate them.

We can point and laugh at this one person, but according to the reddit thread they're the 265th person to make this mistake, and more than half of the money in the inaccessible account is not theirs.

Exactly the point I was making in the first place.
> Getting a basic (entry level) commercial pilot’s license requires 1500 hrs.

That's not correct. For a US commercial pilot's licence, the hours requirement is 250. It's 1500 hours for an airline transport pilot's licence.
> For example, say I want to embed an instagram post on my website.

In that case, you could:

a) get a license (your suggestion),

b) link but not embed Instagram pages, or

c) embed in such a way that it shows a user-controlled notification that opening the embed will connect to Instagram and as a consequence sends data to Meta.

And indeed, some websites use c) without any problem, they even integrate it into the cookie popup. BBC even steps it up: all of their Twitter citations are screencapped and linked instead of other websites just embedding Twitter (in their defense, they can say that this is to preserve the context in case that the user subsequently deleted the post).
Genuine question, what value do you think this brings to the world? I'm not asking if it makes money, I'm glad for you if it does. I'd just like to know what motivates people to make these things.
A Google font file is just a small file, smaller than most images. You can download it and place is along side your css files.

And seeing how most websites are 20 megs+, the eco argument seems forced.
> It's really great for making a lasting artifact about a program that's completely done.

My emacs configuration is the exact opposite of a program that's completely done, but I find literate programming good for managing it's complexity.

If it's not too much to ask, do you mind sharing some of the pain points?
A $5 VPS comes with several gigabytes of storage. A standard web font (e.g. Roboto) is ~1MB. Bandwidth is essentially free through CloudFlare. Who doesn't have the space or money to self-host their fonts?
I use Tab completion alot.
I do mostly mathematical programming, I can keep track of horrible extremely short namespaces easily and then use find and replace feature to make everything nice.
Even though I have no real concept for it, I just do it to make the code more similar to my colleagues.

Every training I had to overcome my dyslexia was absolutely useless. Spellcheck is very important. Fonts and colors don't matter at all. Just seeing my own work after I forgot about it, actually makes me see my mistakes. This can take years, my memory is insane for my own work.

You can't see mistakes, since you basically have an internal autocompletion that doesn't allow you to see mistakes or missing words. Checking the code of my coworkers is surprisingly different, I can find their mistakes quite easily.

It is much more important to have goal and motivation. Don't worry about those little details, like floating letters and missing words.

There’s an easier way than that: embed from youtube-nocookie.com. Of course that doesn’t necessarily help with the Munich ruling…
And there is always someone on XP who complains your website looks like crap because their defaults look like crap while every other website bundled it’s own fonts and inputs.
Could be but I would not expect it.

If the user visits foo.de they obviously expect that some data is transmitted to foo.de

They also might know that companies use service providers and therefore necessary data might be shared with 3rd party companies (which is fine according to the GDPR).

However the user can also expect that that a) foo.de minimizes data transmissions and b) 3rd parties conform to the GDPR rules (which Google can't).

If the user is logged in to Google (e.g. for Gmail) Google would be able to connect the user with foo.de with a high likelihood. This in turn might expose the users behaviour to automatic analysis by foreign government agencies without any legal oversight (since the user most likely isn't a US citizen)
I have been crying for this for years. Braun just refuse to make one. Panasonic is finally heading to that direction though with their LamDash / Arc 6 Series.

Ignore the Xiaomi USB-C shaver, it is crap.
There is something incomplete feeling about just the default styling. If you're going for a brutalist design mentality then sure, go for it, but sometimes the appearance actually does matter
Where would it be non-reversible? At least in Europe you totally do not own money that is transferred to your bank account by mistake. You'll have to pay it all back. There have been court cases after people spent such windfalls, and yes, they are still in the hook for full returns.
Take a look at the Irish potato famine for a good example.
An interesting question. Someone should do a environment cost impact on self hosting fonts (and other resources) vs client having to make lot's of requests to various hosts for those resources.
And many people pick up terminology or even whole headlines really quick. Sometimes it’s super easy to tell which newspaper/website someone is reading by that.
AFAIU, smart contracts on the ethereum VM can be arbitrarily complex, so you pay the network to execute them, or a random user with an infinite loop would bring down the network.

You are indeed renting a machine to run some code, and if you want many people to use your code you want to make it cheap. There's a trade off.

You can fuck up things on the BTC blockchain too, "burning" crypto by sending it to a dead address has been a thing for a long time.

It always seemed stupid to me that it was possible, compared to sending money to an invalid IBAN, but I'm not a crypto enthusiast so I may be biased.
If you're talking about the gemtext format, unfortunately beyond titles, list, blockquotes, preformatted texts, and links, nothing else has been standardized.

I understand the appeal of simplicity but if you ask me that's a huge step backwards compared to HTML5. No <form>, no <section>/<article... It's like markdown but with another syntax :-/
One of my favourite memories from school was translating parts of Cicero's words from latin. He is considered "easy" to read and translate precisely because he took great care of not using difficult or ambiguous language in his writing as well.
Read the paper. They did finetune from labeled data and set it as baseline. RL outperformed baseline.
Wow at TuneCore, really? This is big.
No. (Contrary to the sibling comment).

If you have agreements in place with third party data processors to protect user privacy, this ruling does not prevent you from hot linking third party assets under that agreement. In effect, the third party acts as part of your infrastructure - just like you may already use a third party hosting provider, cloud database provider, auth provider, logging service, etc.

The GDPR constrains how PII is stored and processed. It doesn't stop you from using third party providers, but it does make you responsible for ensuring user privacy is protected, by delegation through binding privacy agreements and sufficient diligence.

Those types of agreements are already common. For example, if you're hosting on AWS providing service to users covered by GDPR, you should already have such an agreement. It's pretty straightforward. https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/gdpr-center/

Therefore if AWS offered a generic, third party font hosting or embedded video hosting service, you could hot link to that no problem.

Same with Cloudflare, Google Cloud, etc. as long as they provide the necessary agreements with you.

The problem with Google Fonts is there is no such agreement in place, you can't trust Google to not profile users statistically via font requests, and even if Google says they won't do that, you can't trust that their servers in the US won't be tapped by US authorities to monitor request logs, etc.
That is exactly how Shogun starts. Blackthorn is out plundering Spanish ships in South America. As their path back to Europe is blocked by Spanish warships they decide to continue west and ends up washing ashore in Japan.
That'd be difficult since org isn't super well defined, though there is an orgdown project that aims to fix that by having levels of compatibility.

You don't need much emacs for org-mode, especially if you keep the (admittedly dated) context-sensitve toolbar. Here's a cool (but short) infographic that gives you more than enough to go off of:

This is ludicrous. Nginx logs are regulated now? What if you just want to make a static website and get on with your life?
Some buddies and I built a Tesla Coil for a physics class project. The huge homebrew capacitor bank made of snapple bottles, and a microwave flyback transformer made the futzing with the base of it way more dangerous than the 20-40 kV arcs you got off the top.

Turned out the thing worked pretty well as an AM radio jammer, too.
I mentioned in my first comment that he can not prove this, and the Wikipedia link explains why he can't (fundamental law rule). I definitely agree that Google should list the reasons for what they did. Ideally there would be a public mechanism where everyone can see the history of violations associated with a developer account.
every online interface would check the IBAN checksum, this seems like a bad bank or a bad story aka lie.
People who created the browser are not processing any data when you use the browser, so GDPR hardly applies. They need to be careful with bug reports, but that's it.
District courts are notoriously terrible. Judges are overworked. They are incentivized for dealing with cases as quickly as possible. As a judge, you actually get penalized for handling cases diligently. Many judges can’t even touch type, so even when they do go through the motions of doing legal research, they type in a few crude keywords, skim the first results presented by the algorithm, and then call it a day.
Yeah, that's exactly the agency argument. It's not as if the plaintiff's browser is actually under control of the defendant, a user agent is not forced to follow the instructions that are contained in a website it requested on behalf of its user.
> if there is no way to embed Youtube videos without leaking the address

But there is. Where does it stop being reasonable? When you have to host your own video delivery infrastructure?
I agree that this is a big danger. When this thinking is taken too far you have an easy weapon in hand to destroy websites of your competition, the result would be having no websites in Germany anymore. But so far I've only seen clear-cut cases as this - that Google Fonts is not a valid option has been obvious since the DSGVO, maybe longer. So I refuse to be concerned and trust in a honest best effort approach (I host websites in Germany, there is always risk in that).
> Or a currency conversion machine where you can shove USDs in the slot to get EURs, but if you shove EURs in, to the shredder they go,

This example is kinda funny. If your bank notes were accidentally damaged in germany, you could send them to the federal bank and have them replaced as long as more than half of the bank note can be reconstructed. This is a service intended especially for victims of fire or flood catastrophes, though dog related accidents aren't unheard of either.
If fully automated, this would be quite slick.
This is not necessary a problem? If someone waxes lyrical about nodes, pods, containers and ingress and you know nothing of kubernetes it will sound like jargon soup. But people can understand kubernetes and build services with them, and present UIs using these elements that ordinary people can use.
