I would argue that it's the same problem and the reason GDPR is privacy theater. It's a lot of regulations that can be worked around and the fines are hard to and rarely enforced. There are a bunch of poster children of GDPR fines

I agree! IMO, punishing data abusers can't be solved with data privacy laws. It's a regulation with very little ability to be enforced. In the first place to abuse data you need a lot of it, so really we're looking mostly at

This is being quoted in every comment but if you have enough lawyers anything is possible. Google has come out of antitrust cases relatively unscathed. They've even violated GDPR itself once before explicitly, and got out with a 57MM$

Several billion pounds is still not much! They already broke GDPR once (or twice I think?) And received a 57MM$ fine. 57MM$ is nothing to Google. They've escaped even antitrust cases with minimal injury, it would be a truly shocking ev

The fine is already kinda big for GDPR (4% global rev for big companies) but Google has gotten away with way worse on way more regulated fronts i.e. their antitrust case which slapped them on the wrist. If GDPR wants to be effective they ne

- my initial reaction is to blame GDPR, yes, because it's just security theater that does so little to actually ensure privacy. Sure Google is at fault but GDPR was supposed to regulate this and it is clearly failing to do so. And if y

It's not legal but there isn't much the EU can really do. It would be shocking if they actually managed to prosecute Google which has so far avoided much hassle in antitrust and the like, taking I think a billion dollar fine which

EDIT: since everyone seems to be mentioning the 4% rule, I'd just like to point out that I'm not denying the existence of this, just denying that it is actually effective. Google has violated antitrust before, and walked away with

To be fair I think this article doesn't fairly assess whether this is good or bad. From my POV as a US citizen that has been living as an expat in different countries for the last few years, US banks globalizing is a net positive. I ge

IIRC it has improved a lot in usability, whereas AWS just gets more and more annoying to use. There are also tons of guides for quick migrations: https://www.stratoscale.com/blog/compute/how-to-automate-the...

The interface is a little confusing and I've got a load of questions: - Firstly, what's the privacy/security on this site? The Privacy Policy and Terms both go nowhere and I can't find any info on this online. Looking at

I think technology has a high potential for increasing accountability. However, it's likely much larger superpowers i.e. US, China, etc. will take decades or centuries before being held accountable in this manner, which is honestly a l

From what I understand this is required to create the pressure, but a sufficiently strong material may be able to maintain the pressure, although I may be incorrect.

Can we view Quasicrystals as relatively "low cost" or "more efficient" than steel? The wiki mentions: "The Nobel citation said that quasicrystals, while brittle, could reinforce steel "like armor" I'm

Plugin for the site! You could add/trigger it and have the entire site autotranslated for anyone from any browser as long as you left the "translated by Google Translate" somewhere on the site.

It's not "allowed", i.e. if I want to have GTranslate by default on my site regardless of what browser someone is on, I can't do that anymore. Their translator can also be accessed via API, but again not "allowed.&q

Interestingly, Google very quietly shuttered the Google Translate for web plugin that made it possible to autotranslate sites. The Web Speech API already exists for Speech Recognition and Speech Synthesis, so hopefully they add a translatio

When rewriting Synapse in Python 3, did you use new language level features and optimizations? And what was your experience in doing so? I've heard a lot on both sides of the fence as far as adopting python 3 exclusive language feature

I'm surprised this wasn't known already, it seems like a no-brainer for the FBI to pool forensics data from other entities. There probably needs to be some sort of international standard on handling genetically identifiable data.

To be honest, I think pop culture and doomsayers like Musk have been hyping up AI to be something it's not. It's not actually "intelligent". It doesn't make decisions, it doesn't learn outside of its domain. It
