Replacement legislation was intended to come into force alongside GDPR; it's now expected in 2019

They are similarly limited by light speed (in the other direction)

I guess we'd need to suspend the wires above the carriageway?

No, physically present within EU jurisdiction

2 points:

1. The primary mechanism for enforcing GDPR is via regulators, not legislation. This is something of an EU/USA culture clash, but the person _complains to a regulator_ rather than lawyering up, so the courts would only be involved in extreme case 2. The jurisdiction is geographical; GDPR applies to persons physically located in the EU irrespective of nationality

They have to have a business somewhere.

For instance, if a UK citizen is concerned how their data is being processed by a USA company:

* They complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) * ICO talks to their US equivalent (I want to say it's somehow the Treasury's job), on the basis of international treaties (Data Shield legislation) * That US regulator deals with the US company and imposes fines / process changes as appropriate

Using consent as a basis to handle personal details under GDPR requires:

* Consent is gained granularly, prominently, and separately from other terms and conditions * Consent is opt-in and individuals can refuse to consent without detriment

The GDPR applies to people located within the EU, irrespective of citizenship.

So it would protect a US national in Berlin, but not a German national in New York.

By far the best method is actual information about how long similar tasks have taken you before - even at the project level

We are much better at looking backwards than we are at projecting forwards

Leaf battery is 30kWh and even the smallest Teslas are double that (60kWh), most are triple (90kWh until recently was the largest).

Assuming they can all draw the same current it makes sense that teslas are lingering for 2-3 times longer.

The new 40kWh Leaf 2.0 offers similar range to the 60kWh Tesla, for comparison. Presumably this is due to weight etc.

Signatures on important documents are often witnessed, and it's more about having some mark on the page that indicates 'yep I agree to this too' in case of dispute.

You can pretty much write your name any way you like; as you say it would come down to an argument of you saying it wasn't you and a reasonable arbiter deciding how likely it is that the pages you're disputing have been added after the fact

Is this sort of passive device practical for applications such as wireless mouse and keyboard? It would seem like a great selling point (similar to Logitech's attempts to make solar powered peripherals)

It's unclear on a first skim whether the (constantly rising) energy costs of fossil fuel extraction are included.

Water boils at 100C, so shouldn't the guaiacol come over first? Or am I misunderstanding how distillation works?

Neither is username; people have very good reasons to want to change their names

It's simpler to have the public transport accept contactless cards (and therefore Apple/Android pay) - see London

One customer was told that the root cause was a "lightning strike on a datacentre", although it sounds pretty unlikely (there are storms today in the UK but surely there'd be a DR plan?)

According to reports on flying forums checking is being processed manually with huge queues as a result, flight status screens aren't working, etc.

Until an hour or so, ago login to the website was down for me.

So it seems it's a very widespread outage that they're in the process of recovering from

Whether we are supporting it or not remains to be seen. May has always had this authoritarian streak but rose to the office of Prime Minister without being elected.

Sadly this is unlikely to become a key issue in the forthcoming election, so an attempt at implementation is likely and we'll end up 'supporting' it passively by voting for the proposers.

Someone earning his salary is taking home £36k or so, paying effectively 28%

11. "Hm maybe I should check my code again... ah there's the bug"

Or basically they already know who you are because you've got a fleshed-out profile from various other sites you use.

You don't want a 30-min break in the middle of that 400 miles?

Your bladder/hunger control must be way better than mine

Because they might get EU visitors

There's in fact a 2 year minimum period

Yeah this comment literally made me LOL; life was hard in the late 90s

I think you mean &&?

Is 'high noon' that important that it needs preserving?

Nothing Woz says in the interview is false, but he's being very careful in what he says.

He buys uncut sheets from the treasury, pays a printer to make them into pads and so on, and then sells them to random people at a loss just for the fun of playing with their minds :-)

"By law it's legal tender" - true because they're genuine "I get a printer [...] to make these pads" - they make them from genuine bills "I'm not sure if it's the right President" - white lie, it is "The serial numbers look suspicious" - yeah because they're sequential

No, the intelligence is in the keyboard, which detects the adaptor is being used and falls back to sending PS/2 signals.
