If Google pulled out of the EU then the shareholders would revolt and the greatest corporate shitstorm ever known would ensue. The EU market is vast and highly profitable. Quitting is just leaving huge sums of money on the table.
Drive 5 below then, or 10 below if you're truly terrible at maintaining a speed.
That's what people do, except that they suddenly worry that the road is actually a 20 MPH zone and not the 40 they thought it was, so end up to 10 MPH and forcing people behind them to brake hard. It's made worse by the fake-police operating the cameras hiding around corners, reducing the time available to see the slow moving vehicle.
They didn't say they needed to spend $2bn and five year to fix problems they know about. They said that they have a five year plan and are investing $2bn in security, which will include things like code audits and hiring additional people to work on it.
Huawei isn't particularly bad on security. Compare them with Cisco, who have had multiple cases of hard-coded accounts and passwords for support techs over the past few years. At least Huawei takes security seriously and is investing in it.
The headline should be "Huawei invests more than anyone else in security, actually has a plan for it".
You could have at least read as far as the second sentence in the summary. They said there is a 10% chance of one year being over the 1.5C line.
And if you dig only slightly further, you can see that their model provides probabilities for a number of scenarios. That's how climate modelling works, and why denier claims that "all models are wrong" are simply nonsense.
Are there any studies on how many extra accidents speed traps cause?
Sudden braking, people looking for the hidden speed camera vans instead of at the road, driving too slowly because they aren't sure what the limit is or don't trust the janky speed detectors, that kind of thing.
This has happened to me a few times. People suddenly braking when they see the van, or doing 15 in a 40 zone. Once I was distracted by a van that looked kinda like a speed cam van, and when the real ones are out my strong instinct is to keep checking the speedo rather than watching the road carefully.
I wouldn't risk reporting a bug unless there was a bug bounty programme. The risk of them turning around and suing you or calling the cops is too great.
Of course in this case we know Apple doesn't do that so it's not excuse for this guy, but as a general point companies without bug bounties are too risky for many whitehats to go near. Just this week there was a story about some guys who were physically assaulted at a trade show by the CEO of a company they reported a bug too.
I'm one of those people who benefited from Nazi medical research. At this point it's too late to really do anything about it, it's all been integrated into other research and the like, but if it was more recent, based on potentially compromised research...
I don't know, honestly. I don't want to encourage it, I don't want those lives to have been lost completely for nothing, and I don't want other people besides myself to suffer when they could be treated.
Google Photos doesn't have any advertising. The business model is based on users sharing photos adding value, and on supporting Android.
For example Photos prompts you to share your snaps on Google Maps. That improves Google Maps, and that in turn improves Google's landmark recognition AI.
Flickr's problem is that their only revenue streams are advertising and subscriptions, neither of which are very sustainable these days.
Note that you don't need root to block ads. Adaway uses the hosts file, but apps like DNS66 and Blockada (both open source) do the same thing without root. I recommend DNS66.
If you are going to install a custom ROM on these phones anyway, why buy an expensive Samsung or LG model when you can just buy a Chinese one for 1/3rd the price and it's unlocked for you already?
OnePlus, Xiaomi and many others make really great hardware, sometimes let down by some not so great software, but you are replacing that anyway.
The law actually puts the consumer in a very strong position, so the airlines rely on people not understanding the system or not pursuing their claims after the initial rejection.
The bot works because it reduces the workload for the consumer to near zero. Click a few options, print and send. No amount of unclear wording, trying to sow confusion or grind the consumer down will work.
At first the airlines did try to resist, but doing so has a cost for them. Especially if the complaint gets escalated to the regulator, because the regulator charges them regardless of which way it ends up deciding the claim.
It's a difficult balance, because on the one hand everyone wants swift justice and resolution if they are innocent, but on the other it can take a long time to investigate some crimes, especially financial crimes, and no-one wants mistakes to be made or avenues for appeal left open due to the rush.
I must admit I don't understand online banking security. On the one hand it's demonstrably shit, on the other we don't see mass account hacks and when money is stolen it's generally down to tricking the user into authenticating or revealing credentials.
Maybe they do get regularly hacked and just cover it up.
Having said that one of by bank's security is so good even I can't log in to my account any more.
The modern origin of this myth is kinda interesting too. The far right realized that the 1940s Nazis were tarnishing their image. The optics of Hitler and the Holocaust were not good. First they tried pretending that while they shared the same basic goals as the Nazis they planned to reach them through a non-violent, peaceful ethnic cleansing of the United States. When that failed they tried the opposite - "we are far right identarians, you are confusing us with those left-wing Nazis!"
Of course it doesn't help that they continue to use Nazi imagery and rhetoric, continue to praise historical Nazi figures and have basically the same views, philosophy and desire for a racially pure ethnostate.
pro-heavy regulation... none of which sounds like liberty.
While you may disagree you should at least accept that they think it is liberty. As in there is a massive power imbalance between individuals and corporations, so regulation is needed to maintain individual liberty. After all if you need protection from the government due to a power imbalance, it follows that other large organizations, often multinational in scale, are also a threat.
Because because without those sales Apple would have made $0, so Apple can choose if it wants to make $billions and pay some tax or $0 and pay no tax.
a local french distributor who buys from them, adds 30% and sells it on to customers
They actually have that in their home country of Ireland. No Apple Stores at all, just distributors who add their own mark-up.
That's one reason why they don't sell that many iPhones in Ireland. Clearly they feel that it's worth having a presence in France and I imagine they enjoy higher sales because of it.
Remember that Apple doesn't just sell physical goods too, they also sell consumer services (servicing and cloud stuff) as well as B2B stuff like advertising and support to French app developers who enhance their ecosystem. Apple's French subsidiary is a profitable business with revenue streams that are taxable in the EU.

While that information may be of great use to you, if you want it then you need to do two things:
1. Get explicit, opt-in permission from the user.
2. Make sure that any personal information like passport number, name, credit card details, travel plans etc. is obscured.
These apps appear to have failed on both counts.

We have hard proof that the US has backdoors into hardware designed and made in the US. That's a fact, we know it with absolute certainty.
So far we have no evidence that Huawei puts government backdoors in anything. Zero. None have been found.
Of course that's not a reason to assume that there are none, but if you are concerned about such things whose hardware are you going to buy?
The headline is deliberately misleading.

Anything before about 1900 is not reliable though, as the equipment and measurement techniques and global coverage were inadequate.
People need to recognize that no-one owes them a platform though. If that channel decides they don't want certain content, that's their prerogative.

Have you ever been to China? Lawless is not the word I'd use.
LOL you think this is about actual security threats.
Most of the world does not think in these black and white terms.

Works well with bogus parking fines too.

Can you even have a fake Arduino? It's open source, the whole point is that anyone can make one.
At most there might be some trademark infringement if they call it an "Arduino".

Still, apparently some people fell for it.

Firstly, why is that fair
Because because without those sales Apple would have made $0, so Apple can choose if it wants to make $billions and pay some tax or $0 and pay no tax.
