You're only talking about the GDPR. But the cookie banners aren't there because of the GDPR, they're there because of the ePrivacy Directive.

It's this directive (which pre-dates the GDPR) that makes it illegal to store or access data on the end user's devices without consent unless it is strictly necessary for the provision of the service.
Actually I really like the network interface thing, it can allow a lot more control over the device than a block storage interfact will provide.

This is one of the first things you do when you jailbreak your kindle, it allows you to ssh/sftp onto the device. I do think having a option to toggle between Block Device and Network would be nice

> What are these 'legitimate interest' things,

In most cases "legitimate interests" checkboxes, particularly those referring to 3rd parties, basically mean "we see you preference not to be stalked and, while we may claim to respect you and your privacy, fuck you and your silly desire for privacy".

> and is it even possible to object to them, legally speaking?

Legally, in theory, yes.

Practically, not really. You can go through and uncheck the hundreds of preselected consent options some sites present, but do you check that this actually results in tracking information not being dropped?

Your standard for "maybe" exceeds the abilities of many humans.

AFAICT, the statistics for fatal accidents do exist, and suggest that car AI may be marginally better than average humans — the caveats to that include at the very least (1) it's within the margin of error; (2) that includes drunks, dangerously tired, teenagers, and people like my mother and grandmother when their Alzheimer's was in the early stages; and (3) I don't trust the impartiality of the source.

But the stats do exist.

Don't get it. If I ever buy a device like Remarkable it's because of its display (easy on the eyes, reads like paper, etc.). If you couldn't be happier using a normal Android tablet (which has a normal display), then why did you go for the Remarkable in the first place?

That should be the zeroth rule of all shell/bash scripting.

I'm almost tempted to put in a self-linting line in scripts so that they won't run unless shellcheck passes completely. (It would be unnecessary to lint the same script every time it's called though, so it's not a serious suggestion).

There should be an option in bash to auto-lint scripts the first time that they're called, but I don't know how the OS should keep track of when the script was last changed and last linted.

Ask HN: Why wasn't USB designed to handle peer-to-peer data transfer?
A friend and I were wondering why USB wasn't designed to accommodate the peer-to-peer (computer-to-computer) data transfer use case? In the DOS and Win 3.1 days we used to transfer files across computers via either serial or parallel port connections. It seems that USB "crossover cables" do exist but they either have some kind of active electronics in the middle, or expressly say "do not use this to connect two computers together".

The EU did not mandate a cookie banner.

The law requires you to ask for consent before collecting data you do not strictly need. Websites decided that they'd rather bother their visitors with cookie banners than stop collecting their data.

Show HN: Weekly AI newsletter to reconnect to Earth
Research proves that >= 120 min/week of time in nature dramatically improves mental well being.

This is a free newsletter that will send you an email once a week with nearby suggestions for nature adventures (hikes and POIs).

This is an attempt at fixing the problem: "I want to spend more time in nature but it takes too much planning."
It's easy now to make going out in nature a part of your hygiene, with curated options easy to choose from.

This is built on top of a backend I'm currently building that is processing millions of hikes and POIs with machine learning to extrapolate the many insights that constitute the decision process our code goes through to send you your weekly newsletter.

Hope you like it!

To me it's the opposite: I expect to be able to read the note which is on screen indefinitely, that is: exactly how I leave a notebook open on a page.

Physical security is a non-issue in this class of device IMHO. It's the same security I expect on a physical notebook. If that gets stolen, it's stolen. If we can get something better (like full encryption with pin unlock - so that the other non visible pages are safe) than I would be more happy, but the current status is still perfectly fine.

What's NOT ok is the reliance on the cloud features. There's no encryption. No control on sharing. It's either all or nothing. You can turn this off, but then you cannot send the notes elsewhere (it's fine if I'm intentionally sending one page to somebody I know he can receive it). Screenshare also stops working, despite being a dumb vnc connection wrapped in ssl, just because the central randevouz point becomes inaccessible.

This is also why this makes this device unfit for company use IMHO: your users cannot be compliant with any sort of security policy unless they disable everything and just use it as a dumb notebook. Getting it stolen is a non issue: you can get a notebook stolen, it's your fault. But if I cannot control the cloud features in a fine-grained mode, then it's outside of your control and that's what makes the device really unfit for corporate use.

I hope remarkable is listening. I opened several tickets for this: just allow me to disable sync for a folder or everything (without killing send by email) would already be a start.

It's otherwise an amazing device, but a device you cannot trust with the cloud features, which is a major shame.
I don't know what response to username feature requests you're talking about, but AFAIK they've been saying for a long time already that they're working on that ­— but it's a significant rework of their architecture, so it understandably is taking a long time, especially to also do so in a privacy preserving way.

marketing expert

In the modern world, when almost all marketing is done online and data-driven decisions must be made in every situation, a marketing analyst is in high demand. Therefore, fundamentally, a marketing analyst's job is to bring order to the marketing domain. He makes decisions regarding which platforms to use for marketing initiatives, what the budget should be, geographic and demographic targeting, the length of the campaign, reading through the marketing reports, what is the return on investment through each channel, flagging the underperforming marketing initiatives, and searching for newer opportunities to continually increase sales and revenue for any organisation.
Mathematicians index the ith row and jth column of their n x m matrix as (i, j), which is nothing to do with row-major or column-major order. Those orderings are how a two-dimensional index is flattened to a one-dimensional index. Row-major makes it so that each row is stored one after the other: (i, j) goes to mi + j. Column-major uses i + nj instead.

No, it is just client storage. The law is explicitly only about client storage:

>Member States shall ensure that the use of electronic communications networks to store information or to gain access to information stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned is provided with clear and comprehensive information in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC, inter alia about the purposes of the processing, and is offered the right to refuse such processing by the data controller. This shall not prevent any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out or facilitating the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary in order to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user.

Or, it could be that the same climate shift which allowed the humans to show up also was bad for the megafauna.

The effect is the same as it is for "regular" non-profits: there are no shareholders (other than the non-profit), and so no incentives to maximise profits.

(Of course employees and board members can still receive handsome compensation, but the same holds true for regular non-profits.)
That’s not how “legal departments” work. You don’t have to “run it by legal” to get approval. You do that to understand potential legal risks and then you make a business decision. Legal doesn’t run the business unless you’ve explicitly set up the business that way.

Tesla likely has a complete understanding of all the possible legal outcomes. At present Tesla isn’t actually facing ANY criminal charges. They are being investigated, but that investigation has been ongoing for more than a year. This very article cites Tesla marketing and usage language which complicates any potential DOJ case.

There are use cases where you don't have execute privileges. In those cases the .sh-extension makes it clear that you can do `bash script.sh`. If you don't use an extension you wouldn't easily see that that was an option.
For local variables I'd also use the -r flag to explicitly mark read-only variables when possible. It makes it easier to glance at the code and know that variable isn't expected to change.

They didn't do that either. They forced the relevant companies to agree to a standard until next review and the agreement was USB-C. No specific solution was mandated.

A computer can simulate a physical process; if the intelligence in a human brain is physical in origin, a sufficiently powerful computer can simulate it. Such a simulation can reasonably be described as a "copy".

The question then is "how powerful a computer", and nobody knows that, because even the lower bound estimates are too expensive to bother with at present.

The beauty of this (as far as US weaponization of law is concerned) is that yes, you are correct. But because there is functionally no customer service at Paypal, the Legal Department is customer service.

I run into some things like this in Georgia. I wanted to know when the humidity and temperature were low enough to be safe. It's always nice in that part of California, so Siri has no concept of humidity and temperature. It just throws out a general weather report. The weather app at least has graphs for UV index, humidity, and temperature now. I think it must have come by way of Dark Sky.

This isn't just a SV thing, though. I downloaded a well-regarded weather app from a country in Europe that has pretty consistent humidity. The app didn't even show humidity. People have trouble seeing outside their bubble. SV just happens to have outsized influence, for now.
