> if the ICO actually just went after the companies doing fingerprinting directly, instead of being angry at Google for not enforcing things for them

Google isn't just a hapless bystander here, they are enabling and profiting from the practice. Big tech companies all build these billion people villages and heavily tax every person inside but when "outside law" is broken then "outside authorities" should fix it for free.

The rules could be simple: you have a problem in your village, either you enforce the laws there, or national authorities will do it and charge you (the company) for the service.

When Amazon allows any of the millions of ephemeral clone-storefronts to sell shady or illegal stuff, would you rather have the authorities spend years chasing ghosts or have Amazon change their rules to make sure such illegality and abuse aren't possible in their marketplace?

"... the significance of the concrete wall's location about 250m (820ft) off the end of the runway."

"...the runway design "absolutely (did) not" meet industry best practices, which preclude any hard structure within at least 300m (984ft) of the end of the runway."

"it emerged that remarks in Muan International Airport's operating manual, uploaded early in 2024, said the concrete embankment was too close to the end of the runway."

I mean that was a pretty obvious design flaw that went against common standards. I agree it isn't cut and dry yet but an investigation isn't going to change the above info.

I would honestly like to know how they suppose to learn whether a server does device fingerprinting. Isn't the technique purely server-side?
I do this using Raycast, no matter which terminal emulator I'm using today (Terminal, Ghostty or Alacritty), I can just setup my global hotkey in Raycast and get the same "quake mode" everywhere.
Really enjoyed the new article, as always!

Maybe at the end, he should have shown the two profiles again for comparison :D
I called the ICO a few years ago asking how to comply with an ex-employee GDPR data request for access to their emails. Their recommendation: read them all to determine which contained personal data.

When I told them I (as a 5 person business) obviously don't have time to go through 1000s of old emails they reacted with surprise to the amount of emails. I guess they don't send many. They didn't offer any other solution.

As others have mentioned this org is a tax on all UK business.
I don’t have a problem with the fines for the spam texters, if anything it should be higher, but not punishing the electoral commission for that is utterly insane.
Love seeing a CDC tool that doesn't aim to replicate the universe and fails to do any of it correctly.
I don’t disagree with that. It is a compounding issue but I am much more interested in what happened up to that point. Many many small things or one big thing went wrong for it to even get to that point.
Runways are approached from both ends depending on the wind.
This seems like a reasonable take to me. I wish those downvoting you would explain where they disagree.
Thanks. In a broader sense, with "AI as code" I mean any situation where we ask an AI model for answers or decisions where we otherwise might have written a program to solve it. See also "LLM functionalism" in the article. Particularly where we need to rely on the outcome - so not "predictions", "suggestions", or "recommendations" all of which we expect to have limited reliability which we mitigate through modifying or ignoring.
Market is saturated and it's getting increasingly hard to build sustainable software. One good thing is that the price of SaaS has gone up. That creates an opening for the folks who are good at execution. I'm betting on that.

I'm out of new ideas so I'm competing on price and building tools in a crowded space like Calendly and Loom. https://neeto.com/cal and https://neeto.com/record.
It's true that there are infinite ways to waste a fortune, but that doesn't mean you're a fool for not having decided how to spend your money. I'd actually argue that it'd be more foolish to go figure out what to spend it on "in no time"

The answer to every marketing question is 'it depends'. How to best market your product depends on your personality, skills, market, product, price point etc. No-one else can really tell you what will work for your product (a direct competitor might know, but they won't tell you). Try to learn some basic principals from blogs, videos, books, peer etc and then experiment.
That's not correct. A runway can be used in either direction, if you look on Google maps you can see the runway at Jeju has markings at both ends including a number (denoting it's compass heading) - both ends are usable.

You always want to land with a headwind and never a tailwind, so ATC will use whichever end is favorable for the current conditions.

In this case, if they attempted to land with a tailwind then the on-heading vector component of wind velocity must be added to the airspeed to get the ground speed... whilst this was a contributing factor to the accident, it's not something to focus on.

There will be a thorough investigation but it will take some time to get answers.
Idk about this particular airport but it is nearly universal that runways are used from both ends. The idea is to land into the wind.

We don’t know why the pilot elected to double back instead of go around. There may have been indications of a progressive failure that indicated that course of action, but it does seem hasty. That haste may have caused them to not be able to set up a stabilized, minimum speed approach, and may have contributed to the long touchdown, which certainly was a contributing factor.

Still, a 14 ft high concrete structure within 300M of a runway end is unusual, and does not fit the standard for frangable structures which is the guidance for runway aligned equipment.
You didn't realize you just used exactly the same excuse that the US used to threaten other countries for dozens of years, did you?
Does anyone know a battle-tested tool that would help with (almost)online migrations of postgresql servers to other hosts? I know it can be done by manually, but I'd like to avoid that
Was the runway designed to only be used one way or was this just the it opposite direction of how it was being used at that moment? I understand that at least some airports change the direction based on wind.

Is this sarcasm? Spectrum is a finite resource.
> fully knowing that it's going to break twice as fast

Oooh, I misunderstood your "but will break in 50% of the time". I understood that you meant "knowing that they have a 50% chance of it breaking anyway". As in "you say it's better, but in reality it has a 50% chance of breaking anyway". Which was bending the rules :-).

So yeah, now that I understand it correctly, that's a valid point: if your finances are so bad that you can't afford to pay 25% now, even though you know for sure that this 25% will be compensated to the quadruple in 1-2 years, then it is rational to take the lower quality one. But I wouldn't think that this is the case for most of the western population, and importantly that wouldn't mean that people don't care about quality.

So yeah, valid extension of my thought experiment, I apologize :-).

> I would call them irrational market actors.

I agree, emotional value is irrational (doesn't mean it's a bad thing). And this is a valid and interesting point! However, I believe that it is not in the scope of what the feature article described. People do not only care about quality, and people are not always rational. But the article is arguing that people don't care about quality. I am not saying that the most important thing for people is quality; I am saying that people do care about quality. As in, "given the chance, quality is part of the decision-making process". Not having enough money to afford it or having an emotional attachment to something may both take over quality, but it doesn't mean that people do not care about quality.

What's your opinion on that?
I dunno, sounds more like some gate keeping, or maybe I'm biased because I hate the term for no discernible reason.

> has content of different levels of development, is imperfect and often a playground for experimentation, learning, revising, iteration, and growth for diverse content

So because I polish my "posts" to a certain degree before publishing it's not a digital garden? Because 50% of my blog posts are "timeless" in a sense that they're about... stuff that exists.. not current dvelopments it's not a digital garden? Becuase I never delete stuff (as if people with wikis would delete stuff :P)... and so on.

I mean, I couldn't care less but I feel (and this seems to be a common theme) that the indieweb people are mostly dogmatic about their definitions and not very encouraging (also why I tried to take part in the irc channel years ago and left, frustrated).

But yeah, if someone want to own the definition of blog and digital garden and not accepting a certain overlap with "personal website", sure.
I also switched over to Ghostty, but now can't do Cmd+F to search for strings, I think it's on the roadmap though. Also, there are no scroll bars on the Mac version, which I guess is not that important for a terminal.
What should ATC have done differently?
Wow. Any chance you could share either an explanation or your benchmark code to show how you measured this reliably? I've never had to constrain benchmarks to within a time slice so I'm kind of fascinated how you got stable measurements out of that. Did you force a context switch prior to starting and then loop for a fixed number of times that wouldn't trigger another context switch? Or did you disable preemption on your thread, or something else?

Update: you can buy from Norway now, but you need to get it shipped to a different country. You need to select a different country and then chose a billing address different from the shipping one. The message that the website displays on not being able to order from Norway is misleading, and it looks like no email to Norwegian customers has been sent with respect to this possibility. Not perfect, but they got better.

For anyone who doesn't know, there later was a popular "Stargate" military sci-fi TV and movie franchise.

Since we're talking about secret military and CIA projects, a fun thing that the "Stargate SG-1" TV series (about a secret military project) did at one point was to have a plot arc around a conspiracy theorist character, who was going to expose the project. So, to placate the conspiracy theorist, and discredit public chatter that was getting too close to the truth, the military in the TV series... commissioned a cheesy military sci-fi TV series, based on the truth of the actual military sci-fi TV series.

That was just an excuse by Valve. The reality was that they were unable to finish numerous HL attempts due to the shortcomings of their organisational structure and somewhat absent/aloof/fickle top management.

Maybe they’ve finally recognized and fixed the real problem. Maybe not. We will see in future performance.
The title question is like the 20th in order of importance why this crash happened…
> So that wall was located at the beginning of the runway if the runway was used correctly.

Most runways are intended to be used in both directions depending on the wind. This one doesn't seem to be an exception?
They did not bring the plane down safely! The pilot failed to lower the landing gear, or extend the flaps, both of which, for all intensive purposes were technologically possible. Multiple redundant systems for these. I think they completely lost situational awareness, and panicked.
I'll believe it once I see it for sale. The right product in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world
I think that is part of the problem. Starting out with only a vague idea of what the product will be sounds very unwise.

Successful businesses I have worked at have started out solving a real problem for someone (in a business) - with that person telling us that they know other businesses have the same problem.

If someone in an industry comes to you with a problem - and they have worked in the industry sufficiently long enough to have been in multiple companies - they can give you a pretty good idea of what size the prize might be.

The difficulty a lot of us have working in software is that we don’t really get enough exposure to these people.

Not sure what the replies here are on about. This is NOT a "whoopsie, can happen to any project" bug. There was code in the project that EXPLICITLY leaked stuff into the remote host. Am I missing something?

Not only would switching to a different project with more eyes on it probably never do this, it would also probably never let that through PR reviews.
I'm probably thinking of when it's combined with OSv or something. It's been years since I looked at this.

Does the terminal appear instantly, and obscure everything else?

By default, the way MacOS does full-screen windows is by moving them to a space. Switching between the terminal and another application, e.g., Chrome, causes a large sliding animation between applications, which I absolutely do not want.
Personally I do wish they would intervene more, but if you consider how broad GDPR/DPA18 is I honestly don't think they can enforce it in the way a normal person would expect. Either it's a legislative issue (i.e., legislate better) or we accept these attempts at "balance". It's usually not the institutions weakness it's the legislation or the framework in which they exist.

Consider one example - you "process" (collecting, using, storing, viewing - literally anything) personal data in an electronic system without the latest security patch. Are you breaking GDPR/DPA18? Easily done, especially for sensitive data. "...taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, ... the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights .. of natural persons ... the processor shall implement appropaite technical ... measures to ensure a level of security approapite to the risk" (DPA18 Art 32).

I imagine a large number of companies flout the above without realising. Especially when processing any information regarding health, criminal offense data, race, religion, philosophical beliefs etc, which is "special category data" and requires strong protections.

Perhaps offering people education, is a way to allow them to access those jobs you describe, perhaps education in robotics? idk, I think this take is kinda gloomy.
Then you are pretty much aware that until OS X, Mac OS developers and users hardly cared about command line.

Most would only get it via MPW, and outside automating compiler workflows, hardly open the terminal.

I made an AI Copilot that understands the context of the browser
Hey I built an AI Copilot on ChatGPT that understands your page content.

This helps with two things.

1. You don't have to waste time going back and forth between chatGPT and your main tab.

2. Because our copilot understands your content you don't have to copy and paste information from your browser to chatgpt, to ask AI about what you are observing. Our copilot is context aware and can help whenever you need it too.

Looking forward for feedback. Browsercopilot is free to use for now.
Runway’s gotta end somewhere
It would be interesting to learn what a bunch of people actually do with found wealth.

I've read that lottery winners frequently become seriously unhappy.

Maybe some of us aren't ultra-rich like this guy, but we might deal with some of the same existential issues either planning or encountering retirement.
In OP's defense, people have misunderstood spot instances years before ChatGPT existed. IMHO it's just not messaged very clearly in AWS. Yes, RTFM and all that, but I think it's easy to miss. And yes, AWS is basically the only place I've ever deployed something VPS-/instance-like where there it was not clear if this is kinda ephemeral, if they even have that option.
Over here it is more like Kaffee & Kuchen, but yeah.
To be brutally honest, the plane would crash about a second later, so approximately none whatsoever.

But this isn’t the right question to ask, as it isn’t the right question to ask why the wall was there. Why did the pilot and ATC decide it’s a good idea to attempt a gear up landing in the wrong direction is a good start.

Wait so you're saying that it's important to allow predatory business models to continue in the industries that do the most harm through constant consolidation to support ballooning costs?

Like the healthcare system's consolidation and scale that allows it to deal with massive extra costs and the degree to which that system is beholden to predatory technological models is if anything a great motivating example for the potential benefits of a ban
I was wondering what if they tried to turn whether by rudder or thrust differential would the outcome have been different/worse. Maybe you can't do much at that speed and so little room.

Chinese DeepSeek v3 passes chartered financial analysts exams level 1
Yes, I'm in China. I'm glad I can share this with you.

Overall, living conditions are definitely a bit worse than in previous years. The main signs are that people's incomes have dropped, job opportunities have become fewer, and expectations have worsened. For the IT industry, there are more 996 companies.
The Chinese people are very hard-working, so at the moment this doesn't cause serious social problems. But the uneven distribution of wealth will worsen, and people at the bottom will have a harder time.

Regarding Evergrande, there are a lot of people who can't get their houses because of this, even though they have paid for them. The government has also made some efforts to try its best to have these houses finally delivered. Houses are very expensive, so this is a very hard time for them.

Regarding ai, the ai-related industries in China are developing very rapidly and there are more job opportunities. For example, Xiaomi Group is recruiting deepseek employees with a salary of 10 million RMB per year.
However, due to the uncertainty of ai companies, the high threshold and the large number of unemployed people, it is not easy to find an ai related job.

The primary purpose of ICO enforcement is to ensure compliance. The general principle is that the sanction administered should be of the lowest level necessary to ensure compliance.

In your examples, the Electoral Commission suffered a breach due to a chain of vulnerabilities exploited by a sophisticated actor. In response to the ICO investigation, the Electoral Commission implemented a major overhaul of their security procedures including a formal process to manage and monitor patching and MFA. The ICO were satisfied that the EC had come into compliance and would remain compliant, so no fine was applied.
Vaguely related, youtube is lately doing a lot of unnecessary forced logouts & reconfirm password. I'm literally on a static IP. On the same computer & browser. With the same cookies. Not accessing anything particularly sensitive. There is no way in hell they don't know precisely who I am & that its me.
We don’t know why the pilot elected to double back instead of go around. There may have been indications of a progressive failure that indicated that course of action, but it does seem hasty. That haste may have caused them to not be able to set up a stabilized, minimum speed approach, and may have contributed to the long touchdown, which certainly was a contributing factor.

If there were significant winds it would have compounded those factors.

It is curious that the gear was retracted. I can only think that this was due to some kind of system failure? Perhaps that same failure explains the decision to double back instead of going around?

Lots of questions, hopefully there will be answers.

Still, the structure does not seem to meet the standard for frangibility that is indicated for objects in the approach path within 300m, although it’s not like it was at the very end of the runway.

Runway over/undershoots are actually quite common, and the building of a nonfrangible structure on an otherwise safe skid zone is a significant error in design principles that is not common or conformal to industry standards.

If those antennas had been placed on property designed towers instead of a concrete bunker, the passengers and crew very well may have walked away without a scratch, despite any errors on the part of the crew or procedures of the airline.
yeah, it is called _copy_ right. The question is, if AI is making obfuscated copies or not.

interestingly in German it is not called copyright, but Urheberrecht "authors rights". So there the word itself implies more things.
