No, that would involve thinking that Putin doing it isn't so bad. Instead, given that I live in the EU, excuse me if Putin being open about doing Bad Things sees me worry about our own politicians pulling the same stuff on us.
Because they rather joyfully are doing just that. They do seem to intent to be a bit less obvious about it though, given gems such as this:
"Through this Communication the Commission seeks to promote a more transparent, trustworthy and accountable online environment (...). More specifically, signatories of the Code of Practice should agree to deprive “impostor” websites and websites hosting disinformation of advertising revenues. The signatories should also agree to (...) the development of indicators of trustworthiness of content sources, dilute the visibility of disinformation by improving the findability of trustworthy content and provide users information on prioritisation of content by algorithms."
The only difference is that it might still be stoppable for a time here.
Yep, and the EU is already getting on the censoring 'fake news' bandwagon as well, and has already been caught applying 'fake' to 'politically inconvenient' a couple of times...
Quite a few things already, including one sufficiently novel that they gave him a Nobel Prize in Physics for it?
The fact that he thinks what he's working on now may be worth a second one may be somewhat wishful thinking on his part, but we can't properly judge the work's value until we see the patents - assuming we know enough physics to UNDERSTAND them.
No, they're launch sites because they're the closest (easily accessible) part of the US to the equator so the rockets get a decent boost from Earth's rotation speed. It's hardly rocket science... well, except it is.;-)
You are missing the point of this. It's about preventing companies like Visa and Mastercaard monitoring all your transactions, and about making sure that the government has to follow legal process to get that information.
Have a National Security Letter. We'll take everything please, and kindly remember the part that says you're not allowed to tell anyone.
Because this is a list of absentee voters, which by definition didn't expect to make it to the nearest booth come election day. Including a reason why - so scanning it for people that weren't at home (traveling) should be easy. Doesn't mean EVERYONE at the address is gone, and the information should rapidly get out of date the further from that date we get.
In light of Ajit Pai's decisions and their influence on this disaster, I would like to borrow some words from a former president, and state that Ajit Pai is doing one hell of a job.
Given that Apple is now using a 64 bit processor for this new line, the alternatives for the user involve having either a set of BOTH 64 bit binaries and 32 bit binaries a la Windows, or barely any apps for their new device.
Having both would most certainly be more bulky then only the 64 bit option. Using 32 bit binaries might be possible, but it seems like a waste of a 64 bit processor.
As the 32 bit line dies out, devs responsible for it can be moved to maintaining the 64 bit branch. The user seems well served.
Actually, unless you're coding for yourself, it really does.
Just getting the actual requirements out of clients/bosses can take hours, you have to be able to handle input (and criticism!) from co-workers, and then there's the inevitable complaints about problems real or imagined when you're done.
Google has ~35% of the global ad market. They serve you (nearly?) every ad here on Slashdot, for one example, which you can see if you close one. Unless you're blocking those too - Google's ads are fairly easy to block because they're relatively well-behaved.
Who does the GDPR affect?
The GDPR not only applies to organisations located within the EU but also applies to organisations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behaviour of, EU data subjects. It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location.
The EU may not be able to cash the fine if you don't have a branch under European jurisdiction but don't expect them not to try to enforce it just because their law is stupid.
General Data Protection Regulation, the EU directive about private information/cookies/etc. If your site is visible from the EU, congratulations you need to make sure it is compliant, even if you're in the US yourself.
Mind you, typing GDRP into your preferred search engine would've cost less time than writing the comment:)
Not just that, but even if they start building tomorrow the relevant space telescope to compare it with would presumably be the James Webb rather than the 28 year old Hubble... Admittedly, with the delays on that thing it may not be launched for another 20 years.

Announced on Devoxx Belgium on wednesday by James Gosling, 'already' on Slashdot by sunday... Get on the ball guys.

Let's just all switch to UTC and be done with the current mess already.
Or the 40K Imperial clock, that might be amusing...

How in the nine hells will they manage a brighter tomorrow for past generations, given the fact that those are DEAD?
Does this bill have provisions for necromancy?

Welcome to the problem of reading at +2. That is not, in fact, the comment I was talking about :)
Because graft gets punished less the higher you're up.
You had a good comment, and then you just had to throw in that last sentence...
How did the old truism go again? As soon as the hacker has access to the hardware, you've LOST.
Not just that, but even if they start building tomorrow the relevant space telescope to compare it with would presumably be the James Webb rather than the 28 year old Hubble... Admittedly, with the delays on that thing it may not be launched for another 20 years.
That being that it's hard to hide what you're doing with people's money if it's easy enough for them to UNDERSTAND it.
Think we might still call that a no. It honestly sounds like they weren't being secretive about it at all.
I imagine the thinking is that having a woman on the board will make corporations less likely to do evil shit like dumping poison in a lake.
You've not met many women, have you?
So... it'd be okay now if Russia and China sanctioned say, Microsoft and Oracle for improving the capabilities of the CIA/NSA?
