Curly quotation marks and apostrophes are in the set (Unicode minus ISO Latin-1). Recent versions of the keyboard program included with iOS automatically insert curly quotation marks. Slashdot misinterprets the code unit sequence that Safari sends for curly quotes as code units for a sequence of code points including the trademark symbol.
It's Slashdot's incompetence at processing Unicode input, even to convert it to a legacy encoding that lacks the characters that have in the past been used to break Slashdot's layout.
If the owner of a particular domain wishes that the HTML documents available through that domain be made available indefinitely, even after the domain owner's insolvency, what should the domain owner do to prevent the domain from being snapped up by a third party that sets robots.txt?
Incidentally I read a bit on Theora and they said it was not that bad a codec, everyone remembers the early versions when it sucked.
Last I checked, Theora's rate-distortion performance was somewhere between H.263 (such as Sorenson Spark, DivX, and Xvid) and H.264. But by the time Theora was ready for production use, the technically superior H.264 had already gained an installed base.
PC Matic is a software whitelisting utility. PC Matic users don't get ransomware for the same reason game console users don't get ransomware. It's similar to the AppLocker functionality in Windows Enterprise edition but does not require the Enterprise upgrade.
Say you are designing a form into which a user can enter data, and the requirements for this form include quickly validating data on the client side to give feedback that is faster than a round-trip for authoritative server-side validation. Not all users of this form are using the same operating system. Other than JavaScript, what means for real-time client-side validation would you prefer?
HTML 3 was the common version of HTML. Which had a lot of necessary features missing, So tools like Java Applets, Active X Controls and Macromedia Flash were made to fill in the Gaps.
Yes, there were some gaps in HTML's styling model, which CSS eventually resolved. But quite a few vocal Slashdot users, particularly those who have disabled JavaScript, would argue that there were no serious gaps in a document format to begin with.
Instead of a Java applet, a software publisher could instead ship a stand-alone Java application that the user could choose to download and install.
Instead of an ActiveX control, a software publisher could instead ship a stand-alone Windows application that the user could choose to download and install.
Instead of a Flash object, a software publisher could instead ship a stand-alone AIR application that the user could choose to download and install.
In each case, HTML would remain a document format rather than an application platform, and users would have a choice as to whether or not to run a particular application.
If you really want a distinction then use the one the marketing folks have already given you; a Linux laptop, a Chromebook and an Android device. That's all the distinction you really need.
That doesn't help when Slashdot users deliberately try to bend this distinction by claiming that a "Chromebook" or an "Android device" can substitute for most or all use cases of a "Linux laptop", or when I have no access to try the keyboard and screen of a "Linux laptop" within reasonable cycling range of my home, or when manufacturers completely discontinue production of "Linux laptops" in particular size ranges.
Often there are blanket policies like "No GPLv3 software allowed, at all" which reduces the paperwork some.
And sometimes these policies are driven by a "robustness" requirement not to disclose Installation Information. This requirement can come, for example, from a safety regulator or from a platform curator.
In an ideal situation they aren't "negotiated", but are established over a secure channel in advance.
The world is not ideal, and sometimes what may initially look absurd turns out to be the least bad. For example, over what secure channel would you recommend that Slashdot offer to establish a symmetric key between your browser and its server over which to send your credentials when signing in as sexconker?
I don't see how to simultaneously "stop recording information about your visitors" and record the fact that your visitors purchased a product and expect it to be shipped to their door.
I agree with you that the DPO requirement is not nearly as onerous as the requirement under article 27 for firms outside the Union to hire a representative within the Union. But article 27 alone is enough to warrant use of GDPR Shield if a firm doesn't do enough business with individuals in the Union to cover the cost of an article 27 representative service.
You have to *name* a Data Protectoin Officer. This can be anybody empowered to check compliance. Usually this is done by some administrative or IT specialist. Germany has had this for decades. No need for an extra hire.
Firms outside the Union have a second requirement in addition to the requirement to name a data protection officer, namely that of hiring a representative within the Union pursuant to article 27. How are mom-and-pop online businesses expected to afford that?
We're not talking about a company asking for your name and mail address so they can deliver a box with shit you buy in it. You take that information, you store it, you don't distribute it, you're golden.
A firm selling goods on the Internet must disclose that information to the payment processor and shipping courier. In addition, a firm outside the Union must either A. hire someone in the Union to act as the firm's representative pursuant to article 27 or B. refuse business to individuals in the Union.
Tell me, what of my personal data beyond billing and shipping data for my most recent order would a Mom and Pop shop need?
The billing and shipping data themselves are enough personal data to trigger the obligations of the GDPR, including the obligation for a firm outside the Union to spend a substantial fee on designating a firm in the Union as its representative pursuant to article 27. The only payment methods I can think of that do not use personal data are cash and cryptocurrency, and the only shipping method I can think of that does not use personal data is in-store pickup.
Would you find it acceptable for a business to provide an opt-in marketing preference and charge a handling fee that's waived for customers who opt in?
Pursuant to article 27, firms outside the Union still need to hire a representative in the Union. What does the regulation or the market say about the cost of this?
Correct. The GDPR gave a year's notice to assess the cost of compliance. It gave a year's notice to assess, for example, the cost of hiring a representative pursuant to article 27, and determine that this cost alone to a business outside the Union exceeds the benefit of offering products or services to individuals in the Union.
Shutting your doors to customers in the Union saves after even one month. GDPR article 27 requires every firm outside the Union that handles personal data of an individual in the Union, including but not limited to billing or shipping information, to hire someone in the Union to act as a point of contact in the Union for inquiries from individuals in the Union. This service costs more than 15 USD per month.

even after the domain owner's insolvency
Don't sell the domain?
Domains expire even if not sold. Once a domain has expired, someone else can register it and park it with robots.txt.
Make your own copy of the html documents in question and publish them elsewhere? Publish a copy from the backups you kept?
What sort of "elsewhere" would you recommend?
If the owner of a particular domain wishes that the HTML documents available through that domain be made available indefinitely, even after the domain owner's insolvency, what should the domain owner do to prevent the domain from being snapped up by a third party that sets robots.txt?

What fraction of natural gas used for electric generation comes from swamp gas or other renewable sources?
it does NOT BREAK SYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION, which is by far the most common and most robust encryption in use today.
How do you think keys for symmetric encryption are negotiated?
Only for known-plaintext attacks.
Is <!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head> enough known plaintext to know that you have the right key for a given message?
In other words, DAB's recurring fee is less than that of a cellular data plan, which makes DAB cheaper over time than streaming.
