Here it is easier to avoid getting a photo with motorcycle because there are places where it targets front plate. If photoradar targets back plate then you will get a ticket for a motorcycle just like any car.
Where i am from the ticket is issued to the vehicle owner, doesn't matter who was driving. On the plus side it means that you can get a photoradar ticket for driving 300km/h and not lose your licence, just pay the fine.
P.S. If the driver must be recognized does it mean that motorcyclists are exempt from photoradar fines?
Latvia also has ID cards with embedded certificates that can be used to sign documents/login. These cards are optional (passport is mandatory, ID card can be requested) for now but will be required from 2023. Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania also have SmartID (although this is a private company service) which is an app on your mobile device and is used for logging in banks. SmartID account is issued by the bank (lowest level, can only log in issuer bank) or by yourself using your ID card (highest level, can log in any service that supports SmartID as well as document signing).
I completely agree that manufacturer is not responsible for badly done 3rd party repairs which have broken things. My point is that warranty should be denied only in cases where someone (either manufacturer itself or an independent 3rd party) can prove that a component broke because of a bad repair.
"Needs service" is the same as reporting that it is broken. Another thing is that warranty covers manufacturing defects so, for example, it is unreasonable to automatically void warranty for a screen just because the battery was replaced.
"Dopamine is a chemical released in the brain, often when we experience reward or pleasure. The "dopamine feedback loop" is sometimes held up as evidence that social media can affect our brains in the same way drugs do. The idea is that we become chemically dependent upon bursts of dopamine triggered by people 'liking' our posts on Facebook, or retweeting us on Twitter.
But while it's true that interacting with social media can give your brain a dopamine shot, that does not mean you're getting high. Your brain releases dopamine on an everyday basis.
"Dopamine research itself shows that things like video games and technologies, they're in the same realm as food and sex and learning and all of these everyday behaviours."
This was a year ago - Neither Professor Przybylski nor Amy Orben rule out the possibility that social media can negatively affect human behaviour, but both emphasise the need for further research.
I highly doubt that showing something like "There are X new great posts from blah blah blah, check them out" instead of using infinite scroll will resolve the problem. At the end of the day one could simply load a million posts (probably needs some code/data optimizations but we are talking here about billion dollar companies) and now it is a finite scroll (EDIT: seems that the bill addresses this case).
Yes it is and it happens all the time because of salary negotiations. The same thing applies to location based salaries - nobody will want to work if the offered money is not adequate. If company X from poorer country Y wanted to open an office in SF they simply wouldn't be able to find anyone that is willing to work for the same amount of money that is offered for country Y employees.
The fact that employee in SF gets $200k doesn't mean that the labor is worth $200k in Bucharest. It is worth whatever somebody is ready to do the job for and what the company is ready to offer, in this case - SF it is $200k while in Bucharest it is $100k. If the employee is happy with $100k in Bucharest then the salary is fair.
What if somebody in SF was employed remotely by a company in a poorer country? Should the person in SF be paid less because employees in originating country have lower salaries?. Having salaries based on location is fair, the same job that pays 120k$ in SF pays 70k$ in my country and that makes me in top 2% earners in the country. I could argue that i actually get more with 70k$ in my country than somebody with 120k$ in SF.
The question should be how can we create a new internet where we don't need a centralized 3rd party search engine not a new internet where there is no search engine. You can't find anything if there is no search (engine) and you can't change that.
I would disagree because "The rules don’t apply to data processed by an individual for purely personal reasons or for activities carried out in one's home, provided there is no connection to a professional or commercial activity." Obviously when you put the video out in the world those rules start to apply (especially if you make money from that - ads etc.). I don't see how GDPR applies if i take pictures on my vacation and show them to my family/friends after (this is purely personal use). Even in case of surveillance (dashcam, cctv) you don't need to get consent from every person, you just need to inform them (signage) that surveillance is happening.
Insane would be the fact that i cannot use pictures/video taken in a public setting for my personal use. Publicising these pictures/videos are another thing and that is covered by GDPR.
Where is info on how to install it legally and why this stupid ban on dashcams when GDPR actually allows it (it made dashcam usage easier in my home country as now you don't have to register as data processor because dashcams fall under surveillance). I feel that this is a bad thing - you have a regulation that covers all EU but some countries have their specific laws overriding it and banning things that are allowed under GDPR.
As far as i understand this doesn't fall under GDPR unless the video is published because of personal use. If she publishes the video, you have the right to ask her to take it down/remove your PII from the video. But there might be additional local privacy laws that change things and GDPR has nothing to do with it.
From user perspective: What are the odds that somebody is going to follow you when you leave your home country and do targeted GPS spoofing specifically for you while causing some kind of accident/harm to you?
From Revolut perspective: insurance theoretically could be abused but i doubt they haven't calculated the risks as it would mean losing money although i don't see how this is different than me getting travel insurance online and just providing some travel info that from X to Y i need it.
I believe that the standard card has the option to purchase insurance and it will be billed only for those days that you were abroad. I don't think that you have to activate anything if you have a plan that includes insurance (premium/metal).
Virtual card is a disposable card that you can use X times (or whatever you set it up). For example, i use virtual cards for services that require CC info in order to register for trial, this way i don't have to remember about my trials expiring and getting charged (because i set the virtual card to be used only once / delete it right after i have used it).
I would say that for the average user sms 2FA is secure enough.
P.S. I might have a different perspective as where i am from, there really aren't important services (banks etc.) that are using sms 2FA. Mobile operators doesn't ship SIM cards over mail, you can get a new SIM only in person providing ID (or PIN/PUK in case of prepaid cards). Probably my country is just too small market for these kind of attacks so i feel secure enough when using sms 2FA.
I do agree that i could use anything (email, phone etc.) to login in those services but this "something" would be still mapped/tied to my real identity (in a previously validated way). So if it is the first time i am using DMV online service, i can login using my real identity because that is much easier than going to real world location and getting my account credentials.
Maybe in the USA but i am not from there. All these services require to log in with your real identity at least once and depending on the service you can use it with your set up email address in read only mode, for example the DMV equivalent service allows you to see your vehicles, tickets (and pay them) and other info but in order to change vehicle owner you will have to log in with real identity provider.
I am just speculating but if they don't provide door to door delivery then you probably have to upload whatever documents they need defined by law. This clears them and it doesn't matter that they are sending stuff to a mail forwarder as now you are committing a crime.
No, all these services need my identity in order to offer me services that i want/need (my blood analysis results, bank account including cards/loans/leases, IRS, DMV, etc. Basically everything that is tied to my real identity and should be seen/accessed only by myself).
I am not from US so just using IRS/DMV as comparable examples. Third party ID providers or Government ID provider returns only my name and personal UID to all these services.
