I also think they would normally approach this top-down. The provision to target individuals might have been added just for the odd case were the normal approach is not feasible.

I still wonder how this law doesn't go against individual rights provided by the Constitution or other fundamental laws.

Either way this law is hilariously clueless and extremely worrying at the same time.

While I agree with you that not showing a clear message if JS is disabled on the client is bad, I would say that's outside the scope of this manifest. This is about building and deploying SPAs, not about graceful degradation etc.

So we are really to believe that Google would have offered to include them on the patent application if they would have developed it independently?

edit: there are many other stories were Google behaved unethically around patent applications.

"The /e/ ROM is forked from LineageOS 14.1"

I guess that would be Android 7.1.2 then. [1]

> So if I go to any country I'm not a citizen of I'm free to commit crimes?

Read the entire comment of OP. This is the important part: "the police said that he had broken no Australian law."

> to show Romania the door out of EU

> I did not say EU

Really?

Also, you want to punish a whole country for some corrupt politicians?

That's correct, however the GDPR contains some clauses allowing each state to pass national laws to supplement it, and I expect most states will.

It is a problem with under-specification, because GDPR is supposed to be just a guiding framework and each government should implement its own compatible laws.

I also was afraid the Romanian government (and other autocratic governments) will do a poor job translating the GDPR into national law.

> If this story holds truth there will soon be talk in the remaining Europe to show Romania the door out of EU

Are you serious? That's the last thing the EU wants. Strictly speaking it's not even possible (legally) to force a state to leave the EU.

Agreed. Hard to believe someone that does not understand algorithms at all can write with so much confidence on the topic. But let's not forget this is the Guardian echo chamber, I'm sure this piece will be well received by their audience.

While there is indeed a need to examine the motives and doctrine of the new "engineering ruling class", this article's argumentation is thoroughly lacking.

I'm using the same, but I'm looking around for alternatives after I received a couple of false alerts (about 3-4 over the last year) from them. Still, overall a good service.

No static IP is a good default for private customers, I think, due to privacy concerns. Static IP opt-in would be nice.

I see. Well, I was thinking this project might evolve in a direction that React etc can offload VDOM computations to a worker thread.

The argument was implicit: he called it a conspiracy theory.

A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy [...] without credible evidence.

React, Vue and other modern frontend frameworks already rely on a vdom implementation.

Straight from the Newspeak dictionary:

"Nation states": The bad guys, usually China and Russia, sometimes Iran.

You can do that with stock Chrome, no extensions needed. Bookmarks->Bookmark all, then a bookmark folder has "Open all".

No, that is not opinion. It's payed lobby masquerading as opinion. For anyone who is up-to-date with the tense political and social situation in Romania, that article is a tendentious, vile manipulation, at a time when many Romanians look to the west for support in the fight against corruption.

I used to trust The Guardian, but those days are long gone. A glaring example: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/10/romanias-corru...

This is not journalism. The whole article quotes a paper published by a neocon think tank with ties to lobby groups payed by wealthy corrupt under investigation by the (Romanian) DNA. The article even hilariously uses references to recentnews.ro, long proven a fake news site, part of a network of fake news sites that launched the infamous "Pope shocks the world endorsing Trump".

Another example: https://theintercept.com/2016/12/29/the-guardians-summary-of...

> The article even says Australian known sources are only utilised at 14%

That is incorrect. The article states that Australia has 14% of the world's cobalt reserves, and does not specify their utilisation.

> Google must now bring the conduct effectively to an end within 90 days or face penalty payments of up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover of Alphabet, Google's parent company.

The 2nd paragraph in the press release.

> I think many on hackernews overestimate how many people use or depend on these kind (uber, airbnb, etc) services outside of high population density areas.

Most people live in high population density areas. The USA is 80% urbanized.

Ars says: "We don't know the status of the 15-inch without the Touch Bar at the time of this writing." So I'm still holding out hope.

I really hope there's going to be a 15' MacBook Pro without Touch Bar.

edit: clarify I was talking about the 15' model.

I highly recommend a good pizza stone for baking pizza at home. I use this: https://pizzasteel.com, with amazing results.

That is mentioned in the article though:

> Of course, I could use flashcache or bcache with XFS and improve the XFS results but these technologies are way more exotic than the ZFS L2ARC.

My first computer was a Sinclair Spectrum clone called HC-85 (presumably an acronym for Home Computer). These were very popular in Romania in during the last years of the Communist regime.

I remember seeing a Sinclair Spectrum and thinking how much more elegant it looked (the HC-85 was bulky and rather ugly).

That's why I said "anecdote", i.e. "an account regarded as unreliable or hearsay."

These stories of SV excesses (especially Juicero) remind me of the anecdote telling how the NASA spend a lot of money to develop a ball point pen than could write in zero gravity. The Russians? They took pencils.
