Sounds cool. Is this going to be open source, and can we find it somewhere?

It is rude and annoying in general. But even in quiet cars it seems like many people just don't give a fuck and will simply jabber on obnoxiously without any care for anyone else. Would be nice if people could keep their noise levels d

Other cameras could presumably be snooping on the data transfer.

Neat, finally an easy way of transferring files between devices that doesn't rely on online services -- no clue why we didn't solve that ages ago. Adding encryption shouldn't be hard, as long as you can communicate the keys o

From a technical voter fraud perspective, paper ballots remain the answer. From a propaganda perspective, things are probably more complicated. I imagine some European democracies are more easily influenced than others. And when the EU itse

My Garmin Epix's Body Battery levels might as well be randomly generated. They don't correlate at all to how I feel. YMMV.

This initiative has the ID "ECI(2026)000011". If I understand this correctly, that means there have only been eleven citizen initiatives this year? Is that system working as designed, because that's a shockingly low number. E

JFC these comments. It should be clear to everyone that Google is too big and is engaging in anti-competitive behaviour. The EU giving them a token fine every once in a while is just part of the cost of doing business for Google. Google cou

I remember reading about tongue based sonar for divers, where the output of the sonar would stimulate electrodes on various parts of the tongue to indicate relative direction.

I love the "no backseat driving" rule. That kind of behaviour is what caused me to stop engaging with StackOverflow.

I don't think he was talking about "the birds and the bees"-talk, but about the "some random men will send you unsollicited dick pics just because you're a girl"-talk.

I'm surprised that this is as effective as the numbers suggest. I would have thought steel rails would be pretty good at reflecting/radiating heat. TIL.

I've seen the quality of transcriptions, and it's awful. I wouldn't trust it for something as trivial as meeting notes, let alone medical transcripts. Either this doctor is going over the notes later to summarize them for you

90-95k would be impossibly high in Belgium, which is but a stone's throw away from Germany. If that isn't enough money to save, you're doing something very wrong, or your idea of a cheap city might differ from mine.

You find it strange that people have preferences? The ultimate ergonomic keyboard is the one that feels good *for you*. I don't like the Ergodox-style keyboards myself because they're missing a row, and no amount of meta layering

Kinesis Freestyle Gaming for me. The "traditional" Freestye has a wrist pad that's made out of a material so horrible I returned the keyboard immediately. Yuck. This was years ago, maybe newer models are better? But I'm

From what I remember from an interview with the rabbi in question, the "oral suction" was not involved in this case. But because these procedures are being performed illocitly, it is hard to know what's going on or how sanita

That isn't even the point though. The circumcision itself is perfectly legal in Belgium. The legal issue is with the lack of qualifications of the ones performing them in this case.

For context: he's accused Belgium of being anti-semitic because a couple of Orthodox Jewish mohels are being prosecuted for practicing illicit medicine (i.e. performing ritual circumcision without a medical license). The investigation

I agree with the theory, but I guarantee you that in practice the vast majority of orgs are storing way more data than they should.

Under GDPR, you have the right to request manual processing whenever personal data is processed automatically to make a decision about you that has "significant impact". Not being hired seems like it would qualify.

This is going to further increase anti-EU sentiment. This is unacceptable behaviour, but no politician is ever going to experience any negative consequences over this because they're so very far removed from the democratic process.

Surely "only for humans" is the obvious default given that there were no AI megacorps when these licenses were written? Surely it's always been obvious that the person doing the sharing is the one to decide on the terms of th

I've been considering doing the same (going back to uni, not moving to Barcelona). But I find the choices are overwhelming, and the time investment is no joke.

What a load of crock. FOSS licenses were obviously written in the spirit of sharing with humans . Some later licenses made the license less amenable for sharing with corporations because some authors didn't feel like they were being
