Now the question is: can we engineer the thing and create a fake? We can even imagine a post-processing filter in cameras to remove face from eyes in the picture. We already remove red eyes.
Why do they require a Facebook account? OpenID is a good open alternative for federated authentication, which does not force a business to be in bed with user's data voracious Facebook.
I am not sure I understand the motivation for companies: why would they care if someone finish a book? It will not make more money. On the contrary, if people skip chapters, they are done more faster, and will buy another book sooner.
Only the "all you can eat" business model has an interest to sell books that keep readers buy.
EU treaties have no provision to kick a member state. Leaving EU is possible, if a member state asks for it, and the qualified majority of other member states approve. And leaving the Eurozone is not possible, according to the treaties. This weird setup means one state can decide to disobey to whatever its people wants. The technocrats will fix the mess by amending treaties so that the offending member state opts-out of what it is disobeying. The thing would not be extraordinary, as UK already have many opt-outs to EU treaties.
On the front of cutting subsidies, it would not be wise to raise the pressure that way. The attacked member state can reply by deciding to not pay its public debt, which is likely to kill a few European banks. And there could be even worse, given that euros are emitted by national central banks under the control of the European Central Bank: the offending state could even to start creating euros out of control.
To say it bluntly, any member state has the power of destroying the EU, while the EU has very little power on member states. For now, it works because elected leaders in member states want it to work. That could change.
I understand it is the same beast as the COMPAT_NETBSD32 option that has been available in NetBSD for 15 years now. It works amazingly well: one can throw a 64 bit kernel on a 32 bit userland and it just works, except for a few binaries that rely on ioctl(2) on some special device to cooperate with the kernel.
NetBSD even had a COMPAT_LINUX32 option for 7 years, which enables running a 32 bit Linux binary on a 64 bit NetBSD kernel. Of course the Linux ABI is a fast moving target, and one often misses the latest system call that a given Linux binary requires, but it is funny to see that Linux feature was supported on non Linux OS first.
Then Italy can decide it does not want to obey EU rules, and while I do not think Italy government has the balls to do it, it is technically possible, and it would be quite interesting. Remember EU has not army, and therefore no way to force a member state to obey.
Obviously the guy has some problem with how his government controls money creation.
But instead of attempting to fix the way the government works, he want to jump on bitcoin, for which money creation rules are not obvious. We have no proof there is not someone with a secret way to create bitcoins.
If we consider that big tech company use tax optimization to avoid paying for what society offers to them, like for instance the road they use, then the protesters may have a point.
It is nice to see that 90% of business are still primarily involved into producing goods or services, IMO most of the remaining 10% are pure parasites.
The next Edward Snowden will be purchased by intellectual property lawyers. This is much more scaring that CIA action units. Don't we have international treaties forbidding such kinked approach?
I do not trust commercial routers, not because of NSA-weakened crypto, but because of plain old security holes like unclosed developper backdoors or web administrative interface full of CRSF vulnerabilities
I use a Soerkis box with a PCI DSL board, and I run NetBSD on it
What we have in a non egalitarian world, where some persons like Mark Zuckenbeg or Bill Gates accumulate mountain of cash by piggy backing on the rest of society, and especially their own employees that do the real world for them.
Of course making super-riches means making poors, and the system can have trouble to sustain itself. Enter charity, which is kind of band-aid so that the poor can live, while praising the donator, and maintaining the idea that the poors are responsible for their fate.
.
I would prefer income gaps between the Zuckenberg and Mr Everybody to be smaller. There is no reason why someone should earn hundreds of times the pay of a regular worker. A nice way of doing that would be to enforce a 20 fold ratio between the higher and the lower income in a given business. That way, if the big boss want a raise, he needs to grant one to the person that cleans the toilets.
Okay, you are right : I cannot prove it is intentional, that is just my own opinion.
But OTOH, the EU being no democracy is a fact, and we can see it moving toward less and less control from the People : is is getting more and more antidemocratic over the time.
Therefore, if this is not intentional, that mean EU leaders are very mediocre professionnals. We should fire them ASAP. Um... Too bad we cannot!
I was not aware it was designed to make me ashamed of my own country because of the way it behaves regarding others. That will be another problem solved when the whole thing will collapse below its own weight.
Maybe she will use her knowledge from some of the insanity she has seen to actually tackle the current situation of patents, patent-trolling and lawsuits, so that companies can concentrate on true development which benefits all their users, not just the lawyers.

If a pardon is even the right thing to issue, which is still a matter of some debate.
This was precisely my point, if you read me carefuly.
A pardon looks like Turing is still guilty of something, but well, considering his accomplishment, he deserve pardon.
If you consider he was unfairly convicted using laws that contradict human rights, then what he deserves are royal excuses.
That kind of gateway?
