The Cloudflare-APNIC experiment uses two IPv4 address ranges, 1.1.1/24 and 1.0.0/24, which have been reserved for research use.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that 1.1.1/24 is not a valid IPv4 address range. IPv4 addresses consist of quadruplets of values. The proper address ranges are 1.1.1.0/24 and 1.0.0.0/24.
Imagine having to obey Singapore's littering laws in the United States.
The German court did not as Project Gutenberg to make any changes for users from the US. PG is only supposed to make works that are still copyrighted in Germany inaccessible for users with German IPs.
Google and Facebook are portable They do not have to have a physical presence in the EU. It would not be in the EU's interest for them to leave.
They are not as "portable" as you think. How do they make money? By selling ads. Where do they get ads? From companies that see a potential to make money from the user of Google's or Facebook's services. What companies are that? Companies that operate in the market that these users live in.
So to monetize EU users, Google and Facebook need to sell ads to companies in the EU. To do that effectively they need to operate from the EU. So, no, neither Google nor Facebook will leave the EU, as they would lose an ad market of 500 million people.
Well, it's just funny how they've singled out American companies. I thought protectionism was wrong? Apparently it's only wrong when the Americans do it.
And I'm sure that's the only explanation possible. It reason could never be that the American companies try getting around paying their taxes in the EU in ways that companies who have the headquarters in the EU just couldn't do.
access to the enormous American market to dump their goods
Oh, so this is a one-way street? Are there no American companies that dump their products in the European market? So Coca-Cola, Microsoft and the likes are European companies?
GP was making a generic statement not directly related to the story from The Register. (Note that he refers to statements he made years ago.) So my answer was refering to that, not to the story.
I already mentioned years ago on this very site that the EU fines and rulings against American companies were outrageous in comparison to worse and greater offenses made by European companies. This is just the next step, just tax a company simply for being American.
European companies that break the law are fined similar amounts all the time. It's just that people like you don't hear about it, because it doesn't involve American companies/people so it's not "important". Google "e-on gaz du france fine" for one example.
The EU isn't going after American companies. It's going after companies that break the laws. Which is something America should do, too.
But more importantly, since the economic catastrophe that Brussels predicted for the UK didn't happen, and obviously won't happen
The "economic catastrophe" didn't happen, true. It didn't happen yet, because nothing changed yet, as the UK is still a part of the EU. Once the UK leaves the EU in 2019 we'll see what happens.
If you follow the news about the Brexit negotiations between the UK and the EU it is clear that the UK has no plan and is risking a hard Brexit. And while that will hurt the EU some, it will hurt the UK a lot. Unfortunately, the British politicians still treat this mostly as an internal power game instead of concentrating on preparing their country for what is coming.
RFID is as secure as leaving your front door open and shouting 'Rob Me Now'. Your card details can be read while the card is in your wallet and in your pocket.
That's where RFID secure wallets orRFID blocking cards come in.
Good thing then that here in Germany in bigger cities we have buses (and trams, and subways, and city trains) that run every 15, 10 or sometimes even 5 minutes.
This time, work with the theory that everything that SWAT was told was true.
No, I'm not going to talk about a imaginary scenario that is intentionally tilted in favor of the cops. I'm talking about the situation as it developed in reality, which left an innocent man dead.
The cops couldn't assume that they knew all about the situation, and they should have reacted accordingly, which would include the assumption that somebody innocent could come out of the door.
If we remove everything before and after, we have a person who is shouted at out of the blue and is told to do something. Most people would be surprised and not do what they are told. Taking the context away doesn't make the officers reaction any better.
And the arguments from GP fall flat, too. Why would anybody assume that the situation is exactly as described by the caller? The caller could have lied (he's a self-proclaimed murderer, after all). He could have been wrong assuming that nobody but him and the hostages were in the house. Some neighbor might have come around asking if everything is alright between the call and the arrival of the officers.. If the officers assumed they knew all about the situation just from the call they should be fired for incompetence.
In seriousness, Apple (and until Win 10, Microsoft) used to at least have an upfront business plan. Here's something, pay me. No need for them to spy, they glot cash up front
If Apple would only sell phones and nothing else, sure. But Apple also sells you apps and music and movies/TV shows and books and backup services and wants you to use theeir browser and their maps service and their email service and messenger and whatnot. If you think that Apple doesn't collect all kinds of information on you to better sell content to you, you're deluding yourself.
You're showing a complete disregard for the complicated history of the Baltic region. Which has me assuming that your American.
Yes, the Baltic states were part of the Soviet Union. But not by choice. Historically, the Baltic states are closer to central Europe then to Russia, and after the end of the Soviet Union they realigned with western Europe and are members of the EU and NATO.
So no, they're not "covertly meddling in the affairs of other countries". Quite the opposite. They are in constant danger of Russia meddling with their affairs, as for Putin they are parts of his Russian Empire that he wants back.
This is a horrible idea. People, pets and farm animals have internal clocks. If we would use your suggested sliding time everybody would all the time try to adjust and never be in sync.
The EU does not demand taxes. The EU demands that Ireland collects from Apple the taxes that Apple owes Ireland based on irelands tax rates.
The EU gets no money out of this. Apple just has to pay the taxes that the Irish laws say they should have paid to begin with. Ireland get's the taxes that they are owed.
You're confusing 'Republican' with 'conservative'. Right now the Republicans are the conservatives. But when they did all the things you listed they surely didn't further conservative ideals.
Once upon a time, when Microsoft ruled the world, its Internet Explorer was undisputed King of browsers. But when upstart browsers started to make inroads, Microsoft baked its browser into the bowels of Windows, making it not only preinstalled, but impossible to remove
You've got the timeline wrong. IE was the upstart that was trying to replace the king Netscape. And succedes using shady tactics.
There's lots of software around that doesn't show Google ads.
The software (the Vivaldi browser) doesn't show ads. Except when displaying a website that contains ads. (And those will not be shown if the user decides to use some extension that supresses ads.)
The problem here is that Vivaldi would like to advertise it's product using Google AdWords, and can't. And considering that AdWords has a pretty wide reach, that hurts.
Of the 100+ projects I supported on Kickstarter, way more than 50% have delivered. Usually later than promised, sometimes not quite the way it was originally envisioned. But they delivered.
The trick is to choose the projects you support not based on 'oh, that sounds cool' but to check if the project starter seems to know what they are doing, if they considered potential problems and if they have a reasonable time table.

You're wrong. You can still go back to the previous version.
Same for a Bus or a Train, Dirty, Smelly, NASTY!
Have you ever been to Germany and used the public transport here?
If not, how can you judge?
I'm using public transport here in Berlin daily. And while there is room for improvement, the buses and trains usually are not dirty or smelly.
Good thing then that here in Germany in bigger cities we have buses (and trams, and subways, and city trains) that run every 15, 10 or sometimes even 5 minutes.

The EU, a soon-to-be irrelevant third party, saw a bucket of cash it wanted and is somehow coercing both parties to get an unjustified payout.
The money in question will not and never would have gone to the EU. It is taxes owed to Ireland, so when paid (not if) it will go into Irish coffers.

Yes. Thousands fled through the inner-German border and the state was finally brought to an end through a mostly peacful revolution.
Oh, that wasn't the German surveillance state you where talking about? Well, it was the most recent.

The difference is that with the Left you get mostly property damage and a few rocks thrown, whereas the Right is more prone to shoot and bomb people.
Note that in the past this was different. In the 70s and 80s Germany was dealing with Left-wing terrorism by the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion).
