"Everything Louder than Everything Else" started AFTER
It didn't. This process has well and truly started before that. The difference was that many other mediums were quite forgiving. Loudness on vinyl was related to how much audio you could fit on the disk (track spacing), but you had to compress the sound so as not launch the needle out of the groove. Tape had similar issues and you'd find many commercial recordings started showing the +1dB or even +2dB indicators on the VU meters indicating the music was loud to the point where the medium started degrading the quality.
Why is the punishment for complying with one law the requirement to comply with another? If Google's tax evasion is legal then why is the punishment for complying with one law *not* complying with the letter of the other?
*THIS*. People lose sight of the fact that EU law doesn't apply outside the EU. Outside the EU includes companies that have no presence in the EU.
That hysteria from some random mom and pop shop having their website visited by someone in the EU was just that: dumb hysteria. If you want to do actual business in the EU then comply with EU law. If you don't then you rightly have nothing to fear.
They DO need a DPO if they are to comply with the "GDPR".
Since you're so sure about that, show us the line saying that every company needs a DPO from the regulation. Otherwise you're just making stupid assumptions based on your own ignorance.
Why? You feel like fucking up someone's life over 3rd party opinion?
Hey everyone robbak one blew off a horse, we need to spread this widely. The fact that it's not real shouldn't stop us from spreading this news! The fact that the formal department of management of horse erectile function declares that he hasn't blown off a horse shouldn't stop us from spreading this news!
I consider 'right to be forgotten' in the same line as 'right to not be offended'. I.E., a 'right' that doesn't exist.
That's because you subscribe to the American style of court by public opinion. In Europe there's more of a philosophy that if someone has done the crime and done the time and been deemed fit to return to society then they should be considered as equal.
patients should have a right to know what problems or potential issues a doctor they have has had.
Why should people have a right to judge others on past mistakes when professional assessments have determined they are capable and fit for service? This is the American style: "you did something bad and thus your entire life should be forever tainted and screwed up" thinking, rather than European style: "you did the crime you did the time and we've determined you should go on with your life normally" thinking.
What's the point of having a regulatory body if you judge on public opinion?
Even if Google complies, it is doubtful that DDG or any of the other search engines will do so.
The world's second most popular search engine is Bing. It has a 4% market share... on a work day where people don't change defaults on their work computers.
If Google removes something, there's a good chance of a population forgetting it existed.
It sounds like Van Lynden doesn't know how the internet works. Google can't "take down" anything.
Actually it sounds like you don't know how the internet works. The theory and the practice are two different things. Just because something exists on the internet doesn't mean it won't fade into irrelevance when becoming delisted. The exception are items of continued interest and controversy. E.g. Delist The Pirate Bay from Google and after a few good years it would drop off the face of the earth, however if you keep talking about it in the media, then it would survive.
Mind you continuing to talk about something in the media also makes it an item of public interest and thus wouldn't fall under the right to be forgotten. That last word is key: "forgotten" not removed, not blacklisted, just "forgotten".
So Yelp is allowed to keep going but medical professionals who impact lives instead of serving food are allowed to "be forgotten?"
Why does this not make perfect sense to you? A few iditos rambling about shity service on a review page vs a result that incorrectly says someone is unfit for practice while actually being deemed fit by the medical review board; it makes perfect sense to correct the latter problem.
This is not surprising give the Dutch approach to problems. Do the crime, do the punishment, and unlike the American way where your life is screwed as a result after the punishment has been dealt many European countries consider you perfectly good to re-integrate into society.
It's strange that you consider value for money to be described in "units of entertainment". Watching a shitty homemade TV series on Netflix on an average living room screen with a only above average sound system doesn't seem like a good value proposition compared to watching some blockbuster in a Dolby Cinema with friends.
The Galaxy S3 was my last Samsung "flagship". Not only was it stupidly expensive for what it was, but the updates were slow to come and they seemed to leave the phone worse-off.
A LOT has changed across all vendors in the Android landscape. Judging any by their past (including both good and bad points) really doesn't help you make the right choice. Vendors have very much met each other with mediocrity. Samsung appear to be rolling out security updates as fast as Google, and Google appear to ever more be obsoleting their hardware (reads: not releasing OS upgrades) as much as other OEMs.
And updates really haven't left phones worse off since around Lollipop/Marshmallow when Google actually started caring.
At some point all hardware hits end of life, but for a lot of Android phones that's artificially lower than it should be.
What makes you link lack of OS update together with end of life? There are as far as I know no plans for my device to get Android Pie. That doesn't mean it's end of life. Only last week I got the January 2019 security patch so clearly my device is still very much in service despite not getting OS upgrade.
What you said rings true of the early smartphone era where updates actually mattered. These days frankly, who gives a damn. In the past OS updates were critical. Killer features were added. Security updates came through the OS updates. It was all quite important. But these days...
Security updates are now decoupled from the OS updates. I've not seen a monthly security patch come through more than 2 weeks after they were released.
I'm on Oreo. I don't know if there's plans to bring Pie to my device. I also don't care anymore. What do I miss? Timers to limit the use of my phone? Suggestions in search of how to call an Uber? Slightly different text selection? Changed screenshot tools? These are the "most interesting" of the article in the "cool new features" articles floating around the internet. And they are well and truly a big fat *yawn*.
Now developers may be more interested. But what do they get? Notch support, WiFi RTT, Multi-camera support, a few new native codecs, and new notification system. Out of all of those most of them require hardware support, and the remainder aren't killer features that replace something archaic allowing developers to benefit by dumping obsolete code. So developers don't even get a big benefit by having users upgrade.
So yes, the situation remains broken, but it's broken in a way that no one really cares about. I understand your idea that improving the speed should be the end goal to fix this problem, but I fundamentally don't see a driver to do so.
It shouldn't be. Enthusiasts are an inquisitive and experimental crowd. You may have made a joke but your joke has been a very serious question asked over and over again on online forums.
I wish I still had the link to it but in the mid 2000s I remember seeing someone who laid copper tubing in a giant S bend under the foundation slab of his new build garage and cycled that through his CPU. Dirt and cement have a high specific heat so that apparently worked well enough that he ran into condensation issues in winter.
Oh no I saw that bit. What you didn't see was the off camera scene where Kylo was completely treated and healed to the point where he shows absolutely zero impairment and is able to function perfectly fine.
You're right about one thing. I didn't see him holding his side during his fight with Finn. What I did see him is physically overpower Finn with brute strength. What I also saw was him force pull the light saber only for this master of the dark side to be outclassed in the use of the force by Mary Sue who ends up with it in her hand. What I saw was then fight between equals, one who has studied the art of the force his lifetime and the other... well it's Mary Sue, one who pulls a an even more Mary Sueish "believe in the force" bullshit out of her arse and then somehow starts beating down this dark warrior strong with the force (actual wikipedia description of Kylo Ren, compared to Mary Sue's formal description: scavenger).
You are right about one thing there is a moment when Kylo is holding his side. It's after good old Mary betters him in a light saber battle and cuts him. It's at the 3:44 minute movie if you want to see for yourself how supposedly horribly injured your mate is after that debilitating shot by Chewie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It's hard to say fuck AWS for screwing volunteers when it was volunteers (it probably wasn't. It's amazing the amount of actual paid resources that go into open source projects) who decided to openly gift their work to others.
If I produce something for free and give it to someone to profit I sure as hell don't expect sympathy from others and nor should they be vilified for it. We can't start every endevour by first re-creating the universe.
Well yes, when other people are happy to just give and give and give it is most certainly fine. This isn't a tragedy of the commons. Tragedy of the commons implies that the common resource gets destroyed or ruined through use. MongoDB is no worse now that AWS is offering it as a service as they were before.
People who try to maintain the commons, or contribute to the common good, are simply suckers who should have kept what they had private in order to maximize their profits.
No not suckers. What was the goal of MongoDB? Was it to make a big arse profit? Well they went about it in the worst possible way and one that opened themselves up to the risk of someone else profiting from their work. They are idiots who made the wrong strategic decision.
One factor in the bankruptcy is that the PUC and the courts have said that they can't pass along costs of lawsuits to their customers by raising rates.
Passing management mistakes on to customers doesn't solve this problem. Ideally bankruptcy should mean that the idiots who got the company into the mess (maintenance? what's maintenance? the process of keeping something in good condition? Why would we do that?) should be expelled without the customers of a regulated monopoly being impacted.
Slashdot Mirror
average listening level around 77-80 dB with peaks a good 30 dB above that (typical for a rim shot on a snare).
What music are you listening to that is recorded at an average level at -30dB?

I shared it with 8 people
I'm sure those 8 people started a *huge* anti-government riot.
Why is the punishment for complying with one law the requirement to comply with another? If Google's tax evasion is legal then why is the punishment for complying with one law *not* complying with the letter of the other?

You know if you don't tailgate the car in front of you
You haven't driven in London. People don't tailgate there. They drive in slow crawling queues.
driving is a pain
You have utterly failed to capture just how horrible driving in London is.
IMO, patients ought to know about professional achievements or sanctions.
So why bother having a medical registration system if you're going by court of public opinion?
Why? You feel like fucking up someone's life over 3rd party opinion?
