We, as an international society, have been so focused on improvement in material conditions that we haven't really done a proper attempt at looking for a sustainable way forward. Your Bronze Age analogy is spot on; the ancients had glo

I do the same. Getting enough sunlight is hard during wintertime. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to compromised immune systems, depression, rickets and several other things. More research is needed within several of those areas, but I

Never tried fish liver. Is it anything like livers of mammals an birds?

Based on the years I spent there, I'd say it's more about expectations rather than anything else. Foreign media (as well as the Swedish media and politicians) has a tendency to point out Sweden as the perfect example of everything

I once worked for a business that got a DMCA request for taking down a legitimate site, from a law firm acting on the site owner's behalf. They refused to listen to reason and didn't stop until we got the site owner to call their

Ditto, but with slow/unreliable 3G. It's perfectly possible to watch a 4k video with max quality that way, even if one has a poor connection. Otherwise, I'd be stuck at 240p much of the time.

Sounds about right.

Heh, it probably works both ways though, especially considering Nordic medias' manic obsession with eveything from the US. But hey, at least it got me to stop watching TV and go outside more.

Fishermen still end up with the stuff in their nets, 75 years after WWII ended and it's still quite dangerous. Sure, DDT may stay a problem further into the future, but WWII munitions are still a very current issue.

This is a real problem in the Baltic Sea; there are still huge amounts of chemical weapons and sea mines remaining from both world wars. The triggers are usually broken or corroded, but the explosive are occasionally unstable due to salt wa

The problem is that many people use NAT as the only line of defense, and that model fails utterly once IPv6 comes into the picture. There's nothing wrong in using NAT to increase the cost of attack as a part of a larger defence strateg

"Yes" AmigaOS 3.x is still common by people running emulators, and legacy hardware, and the Vampire V4. AmigaOS 4.x is still under active development for legacy hardware with PPC accellerators and "modern" PPC Amigas. Th

A notebook might be just a little to old-school to work in the modern world, but there's definitely reason to consider having such sensitive data completely separated from the Internet.

Jag äger en segelbåt. ;) Yes, and the maximum fine is 20M€. It'll probably be quite enough to take them down. The individual payouts of any lawsuits would probably end up as five-figure numbers, so if the hacker is telling the truth ab

Fair enough. The police officer would still not be guilty of the rape.

The GDPR fines alone might end up bankrupting them (and rightfully so IMO). The only upside, if any, is that this might serve as a warning to anyone claiming that one doesn't have anything to worry bout if one doesn't have anythin

Definitely criminal negligence if true, but Terapiakeskus are not guilty of the hack nor the leaks or the blackmail. You can't blame your own crimes on others making them easy to commit; that's on the level on blaming a rape victi

That's the point with GDPR; you can't just start using personal data unless the person has given explicit permission for that data being used for that specific purpose. That applies to data from outside sources as well.

by fogihujy 6y ago
I suspect this is going to end up as one of the most expensive GDPR fines ever (edit: as a max-fine case, not neccesarily in sheer numbers). Furthermore, many individuals have had extremely sensitive data leaked publicly, and they could sue

by fogihujy 6y ago
GDPR simply classifies "personal data" as any piece of information that can be used to identify an individual. A static IP used by one person could therefore be considered personal data while a public IP shared between thousands o

Precisely. I don't expect to die tomorrow, but I probably don't have more than 30 years left either (based on average life-expectancy at the time of my birth). The actual expiry date is most likely somewhere in-between, but the fa

I've been doing something similar and have come to the conclusion that thinking in absolute terms, like "X days left", won't do any good since it results in vain attempts at trying to fit everything into a specific time-

Yeah, and just like in the case of Perl, PHP 5 isn't going away anytime soon; there's simply far too much legacy software running on top of it. The WordPress ecosystem, on the other hand, will probably make the switch much sooner.

In the early 90's, there was a multitude of computing platforms to chose from, and Windows was considered no more than a graphical shell on top of DOS. Amiga, Atari, Macintosh, OS/2, RiscOS and several others were all contending f

Well, the fact that someone was uable to breathe on their own also suggests that the virus may have caused a lack of oxygen to the brain. In such circumstances brain damage is quite likely, and then the disease would indeed be the cause. Fo

It's funny how Microsoft became the lesser evil after being considered worse than Satan for a very long time. I don't disagree with you, but it's still funny.

4G hardware is mature and fairly reliable at this point. There's probably 5G base equipment that would work too, but the client hardware is probably also an issue. 4G speeds ought to be more than enough for a lot of traffic -- it'
