The procedure and requirements for obtaining a warrant under the CLOUD Act is not sufficient due process according to EU law - which is law which matters when operating a commercial business in the EU.

Pretty sure EU countries cannot in fact (in general) demand personal data of anyone from EU companies without due process. If you can find law to the contrary, let me know.

How on earth is "the US is able to demand personal data of EU citizens without due process" a fishy premise?

Entirely agree with that - and I'm a professional Rust dev, working with video. It's like using C++ for web services. Why would you do that?

In Germany, your e-scooter needs to be insured, and definitely have to follow traffic laws when on the road, can be ridden on bike paths and lanes, and cannot be ridden on pavements. It's pretty simple. The problem is e-scooter retaile

The optimisations for Rust's iterators primarily come from the fact that iterators can trivially maintain Rust's safety properties (skipping runtime checks in the code, without an optimiser even being involved) and iterator-like c

Using the iterator's .next() method in a loop - or the built-in expression for doing so - avoids maintaining an integer counter and indexing. It is simply not semantically the same thing, and you cannot approximate what iterators get y

1..n is an iterator. The while loop is torturing the poor language - it is using the wrong tools to achieve a goal that is much better achieved using the things it does have direct semantic support for.

A while loop is not semantic support for incrementing a number on each loop. It is semantic support for checking a condition on each loop. You can increment a number yourself, but at that point you're doing something where there is sig

Rust has built-in semantic support for iterators; the compiler knows about the Iterator and IntoIterator traits and has specific syntax (the for expression, also known as the "iterator loop expression") to use them. In fact there

It is not reasonable to demand that open-source developers build a product for one of the world's largest companies because it is "too hard" for that company to ship a functioning product.

I recently visited Denver for work - I have never felt so entirely trapped in my life. That's not better off to me - not having the freedom to walk, to take the bus, because you're surrounded by what I would call a "motorway&

Yes, but the average US house is basically in the middle of the countryside by British standards, that's the difference. We could say Americans are very poor by British standards since they can't live near shops, work, etc. If you

Germany, the UK, Sweden, NL… India even. Pickpocketing, in the big central stations, same as anywhere lots of people are, sure - violence, no.

They just… don’t, elsewhere. That’s not a normal state of affairs. Something is horribly wrong with how you’re doing something - either with the stations, or with society - if that’s the case.

Has New York by any chance… considered offering showers to people who need them, without tying nonsense requirements to said service?

Cool, so you would like the Government to fund construction and maintenance of the rails as long as the operation of trains is ticketed? :)

Gonna be honest - once you are talking about billions of dollars, nobody gives a shit about ethics. There’s what you contractually agreed to do, and that’s it. Nobody gets to the point where they either have significant control over Twitter

I find Drew Devault can be pretty toxic. “Toxic person winds up in toxic social environment” is not exactly a shocking thing. In general though, yeah, Twitter-like systems are not the best form of social media.

If he didn’t want to buy it, he shouldn’t have signed a contract saying they are going to buy it with a huge amount of fanfare, several lawyers, and initially against the desire of the company. He knew, well in advance, what he was buying,

Ok so… who asked for the funding and didn’t get it? Did Republicans apply for large grants in equal numbers and not get any? What happened to result in Democratic areas getting most of the money? You’d think that for all this is, there’d be

Are there stories of red counties applying for the money and not getting it? Or perhaps it was only marketed towards Dems? What’s the argument as to what happened here?

Can you show me where to opt in, and where this is documented? The only stats I can find that are close to the number provided are for total registered users.

I have no strong opinion on the working multiple jobs thing, but a single person making $140k is not forced to do anything. That is not a low wage. Fucking hell.

Matrix doesn’t report daily active users. IRC only reports people who are connected right this moment. Those are two entirely different numbers.

Abortion has never been advertised as “cool”, anywhere in the world, so I don’t know why that’s where your head goes. Women aren’t idiots - they are, usually, informed about their options, a heck of a lot more than the men fucking them are.
