Whats app was fined 250 Million. It might be a small % of their revenue but it's a significant cut of their profits for that year.

https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ I see ten fines applied to big tech companies that are over 10 million Euro and three that are over 50 million Euro. GDPR is definitely being enforced but mostly on big tech companies not

What offended me most about the $100 is that when Apple replied to 'Hey!' email they explicitly mentioned they had never charged Hey a penny for distributing their app on the App Store. They don't even consider the $100 Devel

You also get the impression the UK wanted to have its cake and eat it too. Some of the Brexit political promises are pure delusion. I think a few over zealous Brexiteers might be conflating not getting rewarded with punishment.

It does but as pointed out above -- once above a certain % of alcohol as long as it's emulsified the alcohol will kill any bad bacteria.

Probably some standard emulsifier is surely added. That for me would be the key bit: Wikipedia suggests "emulsifier containing refined vegetable oil".

Recall this being a school project from a classmate. Was disappointed to learn the article centre of Wikipedia beyond the list articles e.g. 2019 was 'the United Kingdom' this was back in 2007 or 2008 or something.

Yeah -- off the top of my head: danluu.com, plover.com, ciechanow.ski, essays by pg and many others have very high quality writing and are insightful. I don't accept there is a shortage of blogs.

>It's not legacy code until the day Apple definitively axes Intel models. You can't run Xcode 13 on any Intel mac OS machine.

The problem is mac OS now uses M series chips. You'd be developing legacy code.

You can have younger -- you just can't manager your own Google account and another "parent" account must be in charge of it. So like removing your own admin/permissions abilities basically.

In Ireland there's a recycling symbol for plastic products that can be recycled. But if you put that recycling symbol in a green circle it means something else -- "that the companies that produces the product is committed to recyc

I recall an anecdote about 1916 Easter Rising leaders traveling to Russia to gain military support but were refuted on the grounds that "because they hadn't killed the Bishops" they weren't serious about a Revolution.

If someone other than sender or recipient can read messages -- it's not E2E.

by s_dev 5y ago
What I find the most shocking about all this is that people believe Facebook when they said it was E2E. If you can't inspect for yourself the default assumption should be that they're lying. I even recall recommending Signal to fr

It's an excellent title for a post but not everyone is familiar with Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot'. Terry is Irish and I certainly like the homage.
