If something is illegal under GDPR it is illegal in whole of EU. GDPR is a set of minimum standards that are common between countries in EU, some have even more drastic laws.

Soil mechanics have nothing to do with actual permits. There are way around that. And it's up to the investor to decide if it is worth it or not. What matters more for permits themselves, is the capacity of the nearby road network. Bi

sure, but as other person stated -servers deals with that, and all legal implications about data protection apply to them - it's harder to weasel out of it that way.

It's trivial to comply with the laws. Honestly it is, we are dealing with huge amounts of medical-tier PII data(not actually medical, but as vulnerable as as protected). It's just that companies are reluctant to give up the profil

Yeah looks like they did gave them the decryption tool. I just know quite a lot of cases where non-health related systems were hit with ransomware over here, and that was the route they took to recover the data.

by Xelbair 5y ago
Usually the ransom is paid by 3rd party. Goverment agency hires a contractor for data recovery, the rate is Ransom + flat rate. they just pay the ransom and recover the data.

Yet signing any contract with Oracle is risky, and i would rather pay more than risk dealing with Oracle itself. but yeah, more competition is always good.

I wonder when will people stop being surprised that any corporation puts profit as it's end goal. Them being nice for a while, it just a coincidence of aligned interests. Court mandated fines are taken into the account - if profit incr

but then how the pure wall of text does not display on some of those sites if JS is turned off? Surely you don't need it to just display text?
466.
by Xelbair 5y ago
exactly. and it also puts the lid on profitability of walled gardens - as you cannot sell those cohorts to advertisers. It would be a net gain for society as a whole

Monopoly, while the end goal of any actor under capitalistic system, is the antithesis to capitalism itself. Capitalism exists to force competition. So yes, splitting a monopoly should be part of 'free market', as having monopolie

I have slightly simpler proposition - ban digital advertising. Or at least ban the 'dynamic' one - the one which tries to match the user's preferences. Just static, random ads akin to TV or billboards next to the roads.

Replace Microsoft with any for profit entity and you got this right. If such entity can do something that will earn it's profit, it will do it. moral or not.

>I often see people speak about requiring users to have JS enabled as a problem. But is that really an issue? With how prevalent tracking on the internet is, despite GDPR's attempts. Yes, it is an issue.

exactly this.

so if this restriction was gone, it would make everything more sane for customer, while finally dealing with chromium monopoly. sounds like a win-win to me.

Even if you do specify a column as a text excel WILL assume that it contains dates sometimes. Happened to me multiple times, even when i set each cell as a text. Seems like copypasting a tab separated values resets the cells to their defaul

The people who are willing to pay for such subscription are the most valuable to advertisers. They will offer way more money than you can offer for the service.

i would mind if ads are accurate. I prefer them to not have ANY information about me - because the holy grail of such system is to dynamically adjust prices, upwards, depending on your preferences. To extract as much money as you are willin

An idea of calculus was already found in ancient Greece. Archimedes used it to calculate the area of parabola by assigning a 'weight' to a line, and using a leverage to balance it. There is a good Numberphile YT about it called &#
