Here's the press release put out by the regulator that issued the fine,

Press release: https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/news-media/data-protection-...

The main thing is that WhatsApp changed some processing from relying on Consent to relying on "Contractual Agreement" (contrary to popular opinion, GDPR does not always require consent). The fine is based on two things: 1) this change and its ramifications were not communicated to users 2) you can't actually use "Contractual Agreement" for some of that processing.

1) is important because consent can be withdrawn. If users still believe that processing is based on their consent, they believe they have the ability to withdraw consent and processing must stop, but that doesn't apply to Contractual Agreement. In other words, this lack-of-clarity means users believed they had more control over they data, but they didn't.

2) requires reading deeper into the decision to see what matters. From background, Facebook has argued in the past that personalized advertising is a contractually-provided service, and that's probably what got rejected.
Good news! We're on our way to do both, scale down the population AND the standard of living!
The outage seems to be in receiving reports from weather stations (primarily airports).

When arriving at an airport, a pilot is required to confirm they have the latest METAR information for the site. It's presumed negligence when pilots don't know the weather. This is because weather is the #1 environmental factor in accidents.

But the actual use of weather in flying (esp. for commercial flights) is not via METAR but via in-cockpit radar. This is an FAA-sponsored service, but it's unclear if that's affected.

So it seems to be more administrative than safety, but just as disabling.
I like it because I want to focus on the text, not the visual noise around it . Also a smaller text column is better for readability

There's approaches with compressed liquids, i.e. hydraulically lifting mass. These would be more compact and could be built almost anywhere.

Not hurt? What are you talking about.

Being forced to carry a pregnancy to term can cause bodily issues, psychological, and financial issues.

Plastic surgery is perfectly legal and you are fine to do it.

Steroids have shown averse and life threatening affects and really should only be prescribed.
Each airport does measure and report the local weather-- that's where METAR data comes from. And busier airports broadcast that data locally, via ATIS or D-ATIS, for pilots in the immediate vicinity to use (either on the ground or on approach to the airport).

That doesn't help a pilot plan ahead for conditions on their route or at their destination, though-- that's where METARs come in.

In a nutshell, terrible end user UX and naming. Can't deal with largish files well.
As mentioned in the above HN link, you don't need to log in. If you're annoyed by the logged-out approach of appending a query parameter to the URL, other people in sibling threads shared Greasemonkey scripts (or whatever they're called these days) for doing so automatically.
Thanks for the followup. I'm also on desktop.

When I click the second link, I'm forced to reauthenticate. During that reauthentication my only option for 2-factor auth is... a valid 2FA code. Backup codes are not allowed.

I suspect since you originally logged in with a 2FA code (I'm guessing), your session is marked as "recently two factor verified", and when I logged in with a backup code, I was not marked the same level of "secure".
Does in cockpit radar actually get you on the ground pressure?
I bought and read it (more like, skimmed) and liked it a lot too.

6 Reasons to Go Back to the Mailing List
This is great and was a lot of fun to figure out.

It also has the side effect of making me feel better for never attempting to write my own encryption algorithms! :D
Appreciate the feedback! Will keep this use case in mind, this could definitely work as a layer on top of Git when people need to pair program or preview code.
You can also just store the data encoded in them - it's usually just a string.
Ask HN: The new Wikipedia design sucks. How do I get the old page layout back?

If they wanted to add banner ads, they could have just done so on the old design. The existence of a new design has no implications there.

Not what I would personally consider "recent". Your mileage will vary; there is no objective definition of that.
This is why I use SMS as my second factor for my Google account. Much harder to lose. It could be vulnerable to sim swapping attacks, but I consider Google locking me out of my own account a more likely threat (and frankly I'm probably not a high-profile enough target for anyone to bother with that, and in any case they'd still need my password).
Both cases are 99% a content problem. Every consent item in a form should be highly scrutinized for language and presentation, and so much of the time its just 'do what everyone else is doing' without proper ux research on how your audience will engage with it.
That's equally shocking to me but I guess it makes sense considering what the industry seems to prioritize. I got an Elektron Model:Cycles on which the only way the pads are even really usable is to set the velocity on them to full (or turn the velocity modulation depth so far down as to be mostly nonresponsive). Or, I guess, bash them so hard they'd probably crack the circuit board within a few months.

I have a Korg PadKontrol (now, disappointingly, discontinued) which has really nice velocity response and even lets you set different response curves to each pad. Not sure why they pulled them when there are very few alternatives.
Clickbait headlines get justifiably trashed on HN, but this is an example of a headline that is creative and playful while also communicating the essential information:

- First word says exactly what the article is about: Wikipedia.

- First two words give more precision and the news itself: "Wikipedia's Redesign."

- First sentence communicates it was a minor redesign.

- Second sentence communicates it was intentional, and there will be rationale shared.

This type of headline writing should be expected, but sadly it's the exception.
That problem used to mindfuck me. Eventually I realized it's more of an emergent problem, that only exists in our brains. Problem goes away by taking a step back and viewing the world from a perspective greater than self.
>but I think if it's cooked well-done in a ragu or meatballs, it would be more difficult to tell. The main complaint I have is that it both can be quite hard to form and have a tendency to turn into sludge.

Agreed on this point and its why most of the time I buy some of the pre-done items (meatballs most often) that I think taste good and work out pretty well.
100%. I've never had any issues with IRL 2FA. If I lose or damage my CAC card I can go to the ID card office with a different photo ID and get a new one with new certificates and set a new PIN. My old certificates will be revoked.

But that's not what's currently popular. What's currently popular is just to check a box with some poorly thought-out system and screw anyone who ever loses their phone number or 2FA device. That's dangerous and unprofessional.
The World Economic Forum is just a company with a specific tax efficient corporate structure that has built a great deal of wealth for the bloke who owns it.

Pretending it's something amazingly different to Cannes Film Festival or the Golden Globes would be a mistake. It's just networks + publicity rolled up as a VIP access event.

(N.B. Didn't check if Cannes, GG, etc are privately held. Doesn't change my point)

I found this paragraph really interesting:

"... Joel Nigg has found that excessively irritable infants are more likely to become children who cannot regulate their anger or impulses when frustrated, while excessively exuberant infants are more likely to become impulsive children. In both cases, the development of effortful control is inhibited. These findings have led Nigg to propose that ADHD is not a disorder of inattention or hyperactivity, but instead a disorder of temperament-based self-regulation"
Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos by Strogatz

Chaos theory and deterministic systems are a fascinating vantage point for thinking about the dynamics of large computer systems. Thinking of them as stochastic systems is sometimes useful, but most of the systems are actually just operating in unstable periodic processes which are much closer to being a chaotic system rather than a stochastic system. This influences how I think about testing and debugging large distributed systems.

No need for screenshots even, right click and Save Image almost always works. I save them all and encrypt them in a separate archive with a different password. No, your probably shouldn’t save them to your password vault (unless you know what you’re doing).
> Doesn't keeping the seed remove the whole point of one time passwords?

You need to keep the seeds anyway to generate OTP codes. They are just keeping them in their vault in addition to keeping them in their OTP app.

As long as those storage methods are sufficiently secure, it's not a problem.

Or worse, what if you accidentally commit a crime? Not all crimes are obvious and something that can be normal in one country can be criminal in another.

> They live there from birth to death.

Citation needed, no where in your source does it substantiate your claim that cows are reared on factory farms, where they subsequently live out their lives.

> You actually did. You said in repeated comments to me and others that in the west the cows consume grass.

Because they do feed on grass.

Look I get it, you clearly care about animal welfare, which is a good thing, but I was not making the argument you think i was making. Disagreeing with a factually incorrect statement does not mean I am an advocate for the meat industry.

The story is more complicated than you make it out to be, and it is important to have it right. Cows in America start on grass and finish on grain, this is a fact. This does no imply that there isn’t a huge amount of grain used in the process. The food inefficiency criticism is true, it is, however, untrue to say that cows spend their entire lives in CAFOs.
> TOTP is bad 2FA

How so? The only downside is that you have to glance up and make sure you're on a google.com domain before entering it, in exchange for which you get massively simpler implementation, a wider variety of options, and the ability to back up token if you really want.
Not all uses of Wikipedia are the types of reading supported by works and research in long-form reading. Hell, many, many Wikipedia articles aren't long-form, and paragraph text is a minority of content on some table-heavy articles.

The issue isn't with width but a lack of user preferences, logged in and not. You don't need user accounts, cookies, persistence, or frankly even Javascript to change the content width on an article. The skin designer can set the best practice for a contrived ideal use case as the default, and still let anyone with other use cases expand the content's max-width to fill more space.

EDIT: Looks like they added one — there's now a "Toggle limited content width" button now appearing for me in the bottom-right corner of the wider desktop views.
I've been using the "Modern for Wikipedia" chrome extension for a while and it seems like they Wikipedia team has borrowed a lot of ideas from the extension. I still prefer the extension since you can change the theme away from bright white. Great changes overall.
If your problem is that you are unjustifiably negative, then maybe chanting positive things to yourself will help.

I think the problem facing most people is having standards they see others meet that they do not.

"I should be married by now" might be a dumb standard, but if most people you know meet it, maybe it isn't the standard that is an issue, right.

In this case, repeating positive statements aren't likely to work, because they won't change the standard or the fact that you aren't meeting it.
Maybe the next million new jobs is just rebuilding a reasonable level of customer support at all tech companies, funded by modest usage fees. $5/mo, $50/yr, or $500 for lifetime guaranteed permanent access so no lockouts are possible, I would definitely pay for Gmail or an equivalent service. And there are people who I’m sure would pay much more.

Another short term option: $500-1000 right now to get a couple hours of support to unlock an account.
Specifically you need multiple registered keys, to prevent this current situation.

But yeah, this is why I dislike 2FA. There are clear security benefits, but it comes with the extreme downside of "what you know is not sufficient".

When it's e.g. a corporate-controlled account and your IT desk can just reset it to "password123!" to let you back in, it's quite a good trade-off. When it's your main email, i.e. your primary online identity, losing access is kinda a big deal, and Google has famously bad support.
I had a similar reaction. I was so surprised that I spontaneously pulled back from my chair when I stumbled upon the redesigned site earlier. It was a "wtf is this??" moment.

I don't know if it's just that I'm not used to the new look, but I honestly hate the pillarboxing to fit the new maximum content width.
> How is it part of healthcare if nobody's health is threatened in 99% of cases?

Far more than 1% of pregnancies carry health risks. Not only that women denied abortions are more likely to have complications during their pregnancy.

> Do you consider steroids healthcare?

Do you not? I've been given steroids for allergies, rashes, and muscle injuries.

> What about something like plastic surgery?

How is surgery anything but healthcare?

Wow, this is increadibly weak stuff. A left-leaning newspaper reports on the liberal-leaning WEF, airing the complains of an anonymous group of employees, some of them not even current employees.

Wouldn't that make him qualified to continue doing what he has been doing for 52 years?

God only knows what they're implying here.

Which is supported by what evidence? ...not to be found in the article. Also unclear who he is supposed to be accountable to. Apparently some trustees or something. ...now that would have been interesting for the article to go into detail about.

It seems you're being downvoted for proposing a tool you created and disclaimed as such. I think that's perfectly fine and in the spirit of HN.
I said it before: coders import libraries, engineers import dependencies.

Not having to maintain code you depends on means someone else is maintaining it (or not!). That makes this person a stakeholder in your project. It also means that the functionalities your project is relying on might get deprecated tomorrow morning. Then what? Fork and maintain yourself?

Nothing is "obvious" in tech any more, because there is simply too much. Two "tech savvy" people will often each have things they think is "obvious" that the other isn't familiar with.

And this isn't even a good example of something that is "obvious" to some people, because Google makes it very, very clear that saving the QR code is NOT a backup option. It is labeled only as a mechanism to transfer to a new phone, so one has no reason to believe that it's non-ethereal. Further, the app disallows taking a screenshot. You have to point a camera at your phone. It's mind-blowing to suggest that it might be appropriate to blame the user for not doing this.

Compound Ledger: A Double-Entry Ledger API from Bond built on ISO-8583 Standards
At Bond we just released a free-to-use double-entry ledger API that’s built on ISO-8583 standards. This makes it easy for anyone to manage card transactions or other payments.

The API is built with fintech developers in mind, so it’s specifically designed to be user-friendly and easy to integrate with existing systems, while ensuring the accuracy and integrity of transaction data. Since it’s built on ISO-8583 standards, it’s compatible with most existing payment networks.

If you’re interested in learning more, you can check out the API documentation (docs.ledger.bond.tech), or sign up yourself (signup.ledger.bond.tech).

> they're the kind of person who deeply analyzes this sort of question

Clearly they didn't deeply analyze the question in the relevant context. Answering "yes" to this is high school level "edginess".

One needn't condescend, as there are equivalent questions at all levels of hiring, all with equally obvious (in)correct answers. No, you shouldn't answer "what is your biggest challenge" with "not showing up to work drunk", even if it is indeed your biggest challenge, and one that you work hard to successfully overcome every day.

Another commenter refers to this as "walking the corporate walk" but I think it's more "having an understanding of context and appropriate levels of sharing" and it applies at all times in life.
WOW! super surprised to see Blest on here. From my understanding I believe these guys went bankrupt a few years back. Maybe they are back from the dead?

This tabletop unit is more of a demonstration unit they don't really intend to sell. It is for educational purposes and really as a demonstrator for their large scale industrial units. This is why when you search for Blest Plastic to oil on Youtube you'll mostly find educational institutions demoing this unit and not much else.

One of the original engineers is apparently an independent contractor now?

He used to post a few Youtube videos of a similar unit to the tabletop version but he seems to have disappeared as well.
