I don't buy this. Specially in cities. You have roads, buy some buses and hire and train good bus drivers. Put some poles as bus stops. Lots of countries have done it in less than a decade.

in the Google fonts CDN the court ruled that: it's irrelevant if the website or Google had the opportunity to link the IP address to the user. the mere possibility of this is enough to consider it as protected PII.
My guess is that normally parameter names are not part of the API, so they added an explicit API name.

I think it's a bit silly though. I would have gone for explicitly making keyword parameters.
One of the first things that this PDF talks about is the application of limewash to different substrates, and how different substrates must be prepared differently.

It sounds like the kind of thing a lot of tradespeople would screw up- like it requires study to do properly. They specifically call out how mortars and renders (which includes stucco) should be composed with the 'mechanical keying' of limewash in mind.
huh, seems like self driving might actually work if you listen to your engineers instead of just deciding what sensors are unnecessarily expensive, just like properly testing your product, uh i mean, who wants to pay 7k$ to beta test FSD? anyone?
My parents left inthe 60s and met abroad, had 4 kids, my grandma came out to them in the 80s to help raise the kids.

By that logic, Ubuntu performs a connectivity check behind the scenes polling connectivity-check.ubuntu.com every few mins to detect if internet connectivity has been lost.

I do not recollect seeing any opt-in Privacy prompt enabling this feature. Surely an OS can function without the internet so it's not "essential to its functioning".

Same with Firefox's captive portal check [1] that helps determine if a Wifi network requires a web-based sign-in or acceptance of terms of use.

Yeah, but let's be realistic. The US car dependency is something that to change would both require major reconstructions of multiple cities, and a cultural shift that is just not happening. It is easier to solve fully self driving cars, for every single weather and situation, then it is to convince Americans that maybe a train to their neighborhood is a good idea.
Unless there is any PII associated with the pseudonym, there is nothing specifically in GDPR that says you can’t or shouldn’t do this so long as it’s not information that can identify a physical person. Note that being able to attribute multiple pieces of data to the same anonymous person does not necessarily identify them (and it’s important to not accidentally do so):

It’s important though if you e.g have multiple products to use a _different_ pseudonymization (hash salt or whatever) otherwise you run the risk of storing data linking too much data on a user thereby de-pseudonymizing them in the worst case even though no individual app does. Having a users behavior across multiple applications could pose such a risk in extreme cases.

Edit: I think it's important to separate "hashing" and "hashing". A properly hashed identifier uses a salt that is generated on the client, so that it can't be used to identify the user. basically: the first time the app runs, you generate a random salt which is only stored on the client, and NEVER sent in telemetry. Anything you would like to transmit over the wire that would risk identifying the user (E.g. a computer name, mac address) you hash with this local salt. This way no one can try to go to the database on the server side and try to match any data e.g. check if the hash abc123 matches the computername jimbob bcause hash("jimbob")= abc123. Just sending hash(MacAddress) without a local random salt would NOT be properly pseudonymous because an attacker on the server side could ask and answer the the question "Does this come from the address macaddress?".
The fundamental differences between men and women aren’t a surprise.
By making partner deals with SaaS products like Sitecore, contentful,.... where they become the main SDK for their products, leaving everyone else to DIY their integrations.

So you end up having to use Next.js if not in the mood to use less capable integrations, and then eventually end up deploying the application in Vercel infrastructure.
A much better comparison would be to look at the proportions dedicated to research.

E.g., DARPA vs NIH, not DoD vs Medicare or DoD vs NIH.
Amazon profits nearly triple as company reports $143.1B in revenue
Yeah the ignorance here is pretty strong. Unless all these people have inside knowledge that CATL's claimed density and specs are BS.

CATL's Sodium Ion is 160 wh/kg. That's basically LFP, and LFP means a 200-300 mile car, and supposed to scale to $40/kwhr (cell level) which implies a drivetrain cost at initial purchase that is almost physically impossible for ICE to match.

Roadmap is 200 wh/kg, and while roadmaps are often a bit optimistic from chinese manufacturers timewise, they do seem to hit the densities.

The other big news is CATL is doing 200+ wh/kg LFP, and of course has roadmaps for 230+.

We shall see, but if CATL and others meet the cost and density estimates with acceptable cycle endurance and safety, it is a clear path to probably 3-4 billion EVs.

And if Sodium-Sulfur and Lithium-Sulfur succeed ... that should be 2x to 3x the power density

The American Boom
A couple of years ago a friend worked on a project for a big oil company about charger networks - came up with ideas like "offer free coffee and a seat" where the charger competitor only had outdoor spaces with no facilities.

They did nothing, and now the charger network is outpacing them in setting up and can now offer basic facilities for waiting.

The incumbent companies have no idea what to do at the most basic level of human needs when it comes to EV charging stations.
Optionality: A Strategy for Continuous Professional Development
As expected, the tech bros and AI bros cannot convince the regulators that their so-called level 5 robo-taxi is any safer than a human driver and are forced to stop driverless vehicles operating on the roads.

Just goes to show that this driverless snake oil essentially put everyone on the roads at risk.
The complaint should come from some authority or a legal backing. The poster assumes that they are breaking GDPR and seeking explanation with some shit talk to make it sound legalese.

BP now formally stands for Beyond Petroleum, so that laughable rebrand is already started.

Limp greenwashing
For example - ensuring there aren't crazy drug addicted homeless persons raging about murdering everyone on the train.

When issues like that are brought up, common responses from the pro-transit crowd include:

"The psycho is completely harmless, just let him be. He has every right to be on the subway too."

"Cars kill people!. The psycho will never hurt anyone!"

"We have to pass Medicare-for-all and pass unconditional housing-first policies first. Until then, we can't/shouldn't do anything to the psycho!"

To be fair:

I am sympathetic with some of the above. However such statements will not help you sell improving/expanding public transit to the American public.

And I know not every pro-transit person is like this. But there seems to be a sizable overlap.

Also, anecdotal, but since the pro-bike and pro-transit crowd also do overlap - I've noticed a lot of people take up commuting or just traveling by bicycle in NYC the past few years. But the most common reason I hear is to specifically avoid taking the subway as much as possible due to dangers.
no, the IP should not be exposed to any third party not only to the final destination. Tor would hide the IP from the final destination but still expose it to the first relaying party.
I don’t see anything wrong with the charity you mentioned. It certainly isn’t what normal people consider eugenics though technically that charity might meet its definition. If you are a crack addict, you shouldn’t be anywhere close to having children. You will ruin the child’s life first and foremost. Apart from that you will create an undue burden to society, neither of which is fair. First they should cure themselves of their addiction and then have children.

was it ratgdo by chance?

40 bucks, HA, and about half an hour each (mostly fiddling with the ESP/shield pcb wiring inside the light cover of the opener from the awkward overhead-on-a-ladder position) for me to no-cloud smartify two chamberlain MyQ openers. Special sauce is that the device can MITM the "Security2.0+" signal and emulate the discrete functions of the wired wall remote, not just act as a dry contact relay on the motor.

Result is that separate entities are created not just for the door open(ing)-clos(ing) states, but also for the obstruction sensor and a separate switch to turn the opener's light on or off remotely, all exposed (as MQTT topics) in HA.

For example, there are three statements in the stored procedure, which are roughly like this, and execute very slowly:

select a,b,sum(x) from T group by a,b where …;
select c,d,max(y) from T group by c,d where …;
select a,c,avg(y),min(z) from T group by a,c where …;
T is a huge table with hundreds of millions of rows. It needs to be grouped by three methods, and the grouped result sets are not large.

The grouping operation needs to traverse the data table. These three SQL statements will traverse the huge table three times. It takes a long time to traverse hundreds of millions of rows of data once, not to mention three times.

In this grouping operation, the CPU calculation time is almost negligible relative to the time of traversing the hard disk. If we can calculate multiple group aggregations in one traversal, although the amount of CPU calculation is not reduced, it can greatly reduce the amount of data read from the hard disk and double the speed.

If SQL could support syntax like this:

from T
select a,b,sum(x) group by a,b where … -- the first grouping in the traversal
select c,d,max(y) group by c,d where … -- the second grouping in the traversal
select a,c,avg(y),min(z) group by a,c where …; -- the third grouping in the traversal
It would be able to return multiple result sets in one traversal, and the performance can be greatly improved.

Unfortunately, SQL does not have this syntax and cannot code like this. We can only use an alternative method, that is, use group a,b,c,d to calculate a more detailed grouping result set first, but first save it into a temporary table before we can further calculate the target results with SQL. The SQL statements are rough as follows:

create table T_temp as select a,b,c,d,
sum(case when … then x else 0 end) sumx,
max(case when … then y else null end) maxy,
sum(case when … then y else 0 end) sumy,
count(case when … then 1 else null end) county,
min(case when … then z else null end) minz
group by a,b,c,d;
select a,b,sum(sumx) from T_temp group by a,b where …;
select c,d,max(maxy) from T_temp group by c,d where …;
select a,c,sum(sumy)/sum(county),min(minz) from T_temp group by a,c where …;
In this way, we only need to traverse once, but we have to transfer different where conditions to the previous case when, the code is much more complex and the amount of calculation will be increased. Moreover, when calculating the temporary table, the number of grouping fields becomes large, and the result set may be large. The temporary table is traversed many times, and the calculation performance is not good. Large result set grouping calculation needs hard disk buffer, and its performance is also very poor.

We can also use the database cursor of the stored procedure to fetch the data one by one, but we have to implement the actions of where and group by ourselves. It's too cumbersome to code, and the performance of the database cursor traversing the data will only be worse!

We can do nothing about it!
Ehrm. Like this?

> a reasonable timeframe and level of investment

Compared to the time-frame and investments on which alternatives? It might take 40 years for self driving cars to improve and have enough deployments to significantly reduce the number of accidents, but at least there is a path there and it will happen at some point.

Getting americans to use public transit, requires not only investment in public transit: it requires a cultural shift in how Americans view life. A cheaper solution that can never be delivered is not a good solution, it's just a dream.
In such a catastrophe it is unlikely that preserving printed works would be a priority and would bring into question the very existence of 'future archeologists'. Archeology is a consequence of an age of abundance that would be gone in such a scenario.

I apologize for any bad wording. Didn't intend to say that Guadeloupe was a legacy country or anything, nor Taïwan. The legacy part was about using something other than UN recognition (before using that rule). You're right about the point I wanted to make.
yes, Ubuntu is in violation of GDPR too if it does not connect for essential functionality. One essential functionality that is acceptable for any OS is that of checking for updates because Security is an essential part of OS.
There is a suggestion that some data sent is in violation with the GDPR. There is no specifics about what it would be that is in violation however. I think 90% of sites with cookie banners are blatantly violating the GDPR - but whether I'm correct in that assessment is anyones guess. It would depend on court processes that hasn't happened yet. It's based on my understanding and interpretation of the regulation, nothing else. I guess it's the same with the complaint here. If there is a question of a violation then it's probably due to microsoft and the commenter having different interpretations about specific data such as hashed mac addresses (Which certainly isn't clear cut).

It's well captured in the Feynman's quote: "shut up and calculate".

According to the profile, TaylorAlexander is a she/her pronouned person.

I was a homemaker for a couple of decades. I spent 5 years and 3 months working at a Fortune 500 company. I have since done freelance work and I'm a blogger.

I haven't spent a lot of time in "the work place" -- by which I mean heteronormative assumptions that the only real work is paid work and women's work doesn't count. My place of work for much of my adult life was my home, and not in a "work from home" sense.

Anyway, I'm not being snarky. I'm just some demographic outlier who thinks a lot about how gender interacts with societal expectations about work and my ideas about it generally fall outside the Overton Window, so I say a lot less than I used to because it tends to be pointless drama where everyone wants to accuse me of something while not seeming at all interested in what I'm trying to say.

Why is the standard for donating a kidney that your life has to be, in the opinion of some bureaucrats who just met you, super chill? Nobody applies this standard to any other similarly-risky (i.e. not very risky) decision. The standard should be whether you are a person in sound mind who wants to donate it and is physically fit to donate it.

GDPR terms allow them to ask for any data about them personally. And Microsoft can say no if for example all the telemetry data is anonymous and aggregated.
