Some nice background reading on these standards here: https://solidsands.com/safety/iso-26262

A few other CDNs have implementations, but presumably we'll see much wider adoption once it has been standardised.

UAE is an absolute monarchy; using this as an argument against hate speech legislation seems.. overreaching.

Which countries are those?

How things might have been different if the UK government had used the result as a warning shot to the EU, and a case for reform.

I'd be for a second referendum on an actual agreement for what Britain's relationship with the EU would be, post-Brexit. Some of the options, particularly those favoured by those that voted to remain, are poor.

Sure, it isn't just apathy (as in your example). But if you compare the turn-out for the Scottish independence vote in 2014 (~85%) with the EU referendum (~72%), I think it might be a considerable factor.

Another factor is complacency on the part of those that would have voted to remain: polling leading up to the referendum showed a clear remain win.

(I should point out that I'm not suggesting that the result of the referendum isn't pro-Brexit, but that the numbers don't support the case for a so-called "hard Brexit")

My argument is that the number of people who didn't vote doesn't need to be extrapolated: apathy isn't a yes or a no vote, but something else.

Regardless of the epithets used to describe them, it's worth remembering that, accounting for turn-out, it was around 37% of the British electorate that voted to leave the EU.

Is this true? Doesn't the GDPR only applied to those within the EU (i.e., resident or not), or anyone, anywhere, if the company handling the data is in the EU?

Apple provides similar tooling for businesses [0].

The title of this article is click-bait, surely? Apple have made much PR out of their privacy stance. Indeed, the article says: "Apple makes a big deal about its different approach to privacy on the company website".

How is this eye opening?

Both WhatsApp and Messenger (when secret conversation is enabled) are end-to-end encrypted.

From the support docs [0], it appears that you can configure the case to connect to your home WiFi network, and import over that.

BA has a similar seating policy with its cheapest fares (pay to reserve, or have one allocated at random), and has lower seat pitch than Ryanair.

While it's generally an offence to disclose spent convictions, the press is still free to publish details about them. Right to be forgotten means that those looking for such articles are unlikely to find them.

Discriminating on the basis of spent convictions is illegal in the UK (where this ruling took place).

Your last mile ISP is almost certainly a hostile entity, but HTTPS alone isn't going to save you [0].

My takeaway from the meeting was that it isn't clear that the spin bit is actually useful. Leaving aside the arguments that RTT shouldn't be exposed (it is anyway, with the handshake): does the spin bit actually provide useful information?

It seems to be a fairweather metric: OK resolution when the network is operating normally, but providing no useful information when something has gone wrong (which is when you'd want it most).

While it is owned by Norway's state oil company, it supplies the UK National Grid and receives UK government subsidies.

Those aren't the costs of generating the energy. They receive ~£140/MWh in government subsidies, and ~£49/MWh for wholesale supply.

How does this fit with the trend of carriers adding WiFi?

Well, it shows that Google can develop a new transport layer protocol over UDP.

Interesting paper (if a little tangential): https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2017/papers/imc17-final1...

Your point about resegmentation (in combination with loss or out-of-order delivery) is why a framing layer, like the one in Minion, is necessary. The Minion paper [3] does a good job of illustrating the problem.

Indeed. Though that issue sort of validated the approach: middlebox vendors will latch on to any unencrypted bits they can. The only way to stop that is to encrypt _everything_.

QUIC demonstrates a better approach: encrypt everything, limiting the ability for middleboxes to make assumptions about behaviour.

It’s been shown that leaving holes in the sequence space isn’t good for middleboxes [0]. Wanting TCP to behave more like UDP is a reasonable goal (e.g., for reachability), but you throw the benefits away if 20% of connections are disrupted by middleboxes. Other approaches, like Minion [1] or TCP Hollywood [2], see deployability because they adhere to the assumptions made about TCP by middleboxes.

Maybe it depends on the state, and its laws on price marking.
