Bear in mind that many places in rural Uganda have shops where you can buy phone top ups for the local currency equivalent of 25 cents, 5 cent tax per day is a *massive* tax for a lot of Ugandans.
These databases need to be deleted too. The privacy violates are incredible.
What do you do when an insurance company notices that someone in your family has a hereditary disease and decides to jack up your premiums? We need strong laws to protect DNA data and prevent that kind of abuse.
How about a better approach to healthcare in your country, where you should be able to get life saving treatment for decades without bankrupting you or your dependents...?
Yup, this is a non-story, intended to allow people to manufacture outrage rather than reasoned discussion.
If you diligently use Facebook for a length of time, and then stop using it without changing your notification preferences or deleting your account, of course they are going to send you notifications with updates - you *explicitly* allow that through the notification preferences.
I have a Facebook account, I visit it perhaps once a month - I haven't had an email notification from them in years. That's mainly because I manage my notification preferences.
What the OP is trying to do is get Facebook to read their mind and stop sending notifications - and then bitching when instead they follow the accounts notification preferences.
Plea deals are almost unheard of in the UK - there are rare cases where they are handled, but usually it's an odd case to begin with.
Anyone convicted using witness statements from these officers can apply to have their conviction overturned at a Court of Appeal, and the appeals court will examine their case and either dismiss the appeal, or overturn the conviction - if overturned, it goes back to the Crown Prosecution Service, who can bring another prosecution or not.
Don't assume that change happened countrywide - I'm in Cambridge, Waikato and we still have open crates for tins, glass and plastic, and we use cardboard boxes for cardboard and paper.
I know for a fact that this is the way it's done across the Waikato.
Nope, you misunderstood the explanation for the crews reactions.
Firstly, the aircraft was in a data mismatch situation - it couldn't trust the information it was being given by external sensors, so it hands control back to the crew who have a standard check list for such a situation.
What the crew should have done was ride throttle and stick, increasing throttle with a slightly nose up attitude until the sensors became trustworthy again.
What they did was pull back on the stick and slow the aircraft down, giving it very little forward velocity but significant downward velocity - this just confuses matters even more with regard to data.
During all this, the sensors became trustworthy again, but the aircraft was now in a situation where the crew simply didn't believe the data they were being give, even though it was correct.
Below a certain forward velocity and high angle of attack, stall warnings on all aircraft cease to sound because it's an insane situation which should never happen - by pushing down on the stick, the crew were actually activating the stall warnings by increasing the airspeed back past the minimum threshold for it sounding, but they were convinced that they were actually achieving the opposite, slowing the aircraft down so the airspeed dropped to the upper threshold for the warning. So they kept the nose up, and induced an aerodynamic stall - exactly what they thought they were avoiding.
The angle of the airflow over the wings was at more than 35 degrees, which is far beyond that needed for an aerodynamic stall.
The same year that AF447 crashed due to an airspeed data mismatch, there were over 100 other incidents on Airbus aircraft of the same thing - but only AF447 crashed. All the other crews had no issues with the Airbus approach.
And Airbuses rate of airspeed errors in this area are almost identical to Boeings year on year - if the crew properly follow their training, it's a non-issue. In whatever aircraft you are flying.
The data mismatch situation only lasted a minute, but the crew ignored the instruments from the point of autopilot disconnect until impact.
It's worth noting that the Captain, Marc Dubois, *did* realise what was wrong when Bonin told him "I've been at maximum nose up for a while", but at that point the aircraft was seconds away from impact, and Dubois had only been back in the cockpit for a minute or so - Dubois is heard on the voice recorder saying "no, don't climb!"
The two co-pilots lost situational awareness and failed to follow guidelines.
The down payment really depends on where you are in the world - in the UK, we had to put down 10% on a £300,000 home, while in NZ we had to put down 20% on a £400,000 home.
How is you having Google as your provider *any* different there? Anyone sending email to you is always going to literally be throwing their message into a gaping dark hole, with no actual idea who is in there to catch it - they just assume someone will, but they have no say in who that someone is.
Boeing had a 7 year backlog on the 787-8, and isn't going to make a single penny in profit on any of them because of the level they fucked up - the current forecast for the entire 787 program (787-8, -9 and -10) is for it to start being profitable sometime next decade.
After a 1000 aircraft has been delivered.
Boeing only just stopped adding to its debt pile on the 787 last year - a decade after it was first supposed to fly.
So no, there's no real reason to get excited about the backlog, because a massive backlog does not automatically equate to a success.
In the UK, costs are awarded by the judge - its not automatic, its a judgement call as to whether they are awarded at all, to whom they are awarded and to what extent they are awarded.
There are numerous cases of the party that brought the case being made to pay the full costs, even when they won.
The legal system in the UK is a lot fairer in this regard than the US system.
The flip side to your argument also exists - I have worked with developers with an BS Honours degree in computing who couldn't code real world solutions to real world problems. They could talk your hind leg off when it came to theoretical stuff, but they couldn't translate that into practice.
I just posted this down-thread, but its worth posting here as well - the "Territorial scope" is based on the physical location of the "data subject", not your status as an EU citizen.
If you are an EU citizen living in the US, you fall outside the scope of the GDPR regardless of where your data resides.
This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union...
Nothing about citizenship, everything about the physical location of the data subject. If you are an EU citizen residing in the US, you fall outside the scope of the GDPR.
How about we start taking some personal responsibility for our own data, eh?
Right now, this entire situation exists because browsers give away tonnes of information to everyone and anyone who requests it as part of the web page. This isn't done on the server side, this is done right there in your browser, on your computer - so why aren't you putting basic stuff in place to stop it?
You close your curtains when you get undressed, right? You don't do that because peeping at you naked without your permission is legal, because it isn't. You do it because its a basic step in protecting your privacy.
Right now, you are doing the equivalent of voluntarily telling your medical history to anyone you interact with, directly or indirectly, and expecting there to be a law to prevent them from listening.
Zuma has never been discussed in depth or any photographs released, so for all we know Zuma could be of a stealth design, which coupled with orbital changes after deployment may make it very very hard to spot from the ground (you would be relying on optical observation only)...
To add to your point - this seizure is global, backpage and its affiliates (cracker etc) have a global presence, including in countries where prostitution is legal ( e.g. New Zealand), and now those sites, escort categories and *everything* else, are gone.
People here on Slashdot constantly rail against EU laws being enacted globally, and here we have a US law being enacted in just that fashion.
I wasn't aware that you do that in the US - in the UK, you get sent an initial PIN in the post, separately to your card, and you can change it at any ATM. If the card is a replacement to one issued previously, it continues to work with the old cards PIN and you do not get sent a new one.
Nah, no need for such complexity - most non-US banks issue users with card readers that generate one time PINs for use in authenticating online and activating cards, so just require those in the US. It wont work without the proper chip in the card, so job done...
The figures being commonly quoted are heavily unreliable as well, as the oldest Tesla sold dates from 2008 (and there were only 2,500 Roadsters delivered, so that changes the figures as well), so when we are talking about Tesla mileage we are also talking about very modern cars, and also prestige cars which people take care of.
The "average" car on the road must also take into account all the 20, 30, 40 year old beaters on the roads, and the declining road-worthiness of those older cars - not only do they out number Teslas anyway, they are much more inclined to be involved in an accident (poor braking, bald tyres, bad suspension, loose steering etc etc).
Add to that the fact that most learner drivers, or those who have just passed their tests, arent going to be given a Tesla, and the risk factors increase for non-Tesla cars accordingly.
As someone, somewhere once said - lies, damn lies and statistics. This is definitely one of those situations where statistics cannot be relied upon without some massive caveats...
NTSB findings and reports can't be used in a court of law - neither side can submit NTSB findings, so there's absolutely no benefit to waiting to file for either side.
NTSB reports cannot be submitted as evidence into any court case, civil or criminal, in the US, by either side. They cannot be used to support a prosecution or action, and they cannot be used to defend against a prosecution or action.

If they can intercept the card, and send it on to you without you suspecting anything, they can probably intercept the PIN and do the same to that.
