Adobe are the new Oracle. They've just last week been sued [1] for the same shady privacy practices that Oracle got sued for recently [2] I'm curious how quickly they'll revert this shit after a high charge back rate on their

Others in the EU are reporting it's off by default for them as well. So it's probably configured deliberately as opt-out in the US and opt-in in Europe. I would call that a win for European privacy regulation.

Jup happens all the time. Tesla also made the CyberTruck a drive by wire system, now fans are claiming it has the unique ability to have variable steering angles based on speed which is "far ahead of any other manufacturer" Except

I didn't express a preference in either direction. Just noted that this program is presented as a way to increase equality and give all children equal opportunities, while their actions seem to do the opposite.

Ah yes, it were two ships part of the Queen Elizabeth strike group, but not the carrier itself. The command was given by the admiral that was on board the Elizabeth. Now that you write that it makes sense why they would send only two ships

Not mine, but Googled one that looks the same for the electricity: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/69/f9/18/69f9183fd01faa4f31eb... The things like L1 and J4 etc indicate which switches are connected to e

It's slightly more complicated in NL than just last in first out, for larger amounts like Spotify is doing here. Apart from grouping by role, there is also a requirement to ensure the distribution of workers across age groups remains a

Social programs and "union-type programs" are not the same thing. You're comparing government provided social security / healthcare with a union while the two are completely different. Strikes are paid for by the union,

Many stories from people creating documentation only for it to get thrown away. Let me share an opposite one: I bought a house that was empty after divorce, both had moved out some months before. We mostly dealt with the agent, only saw one

This happens all the time. There is a documentary for example on the HMS Elizabeth carrier from the UK and how they deliberately navigated through Crimea waters (together with the Dutch navy) to make a point that they're allowed to do

Doesn't it increase inequality if the children of highly paid tech employees also get double the amount in their investment account compared to those born from poor parents? That feels like it's not aligned with the original idea

This is quite a common issue with PPPoE connections like the one OP seems to use with his own router. You need to increase the MTU of the physical underlying ethernet connection to 1508 to allow a 1500 MTU for the encapsulated packets insid

Exactly what I was thinking reading this. A CDN has no interest throttling things, it will hurt their performance metrics. And if they think your IP is "bad" you'll get a straight up error or captcha, not just some packet los

The firing itself in an employer-employee sense is fine. But the board has a lot more responsibilities. Firing the CEO for reasons not in the interest of the organisation (e.g. to further some other personal interest) for example is reason

I guess the alternative is more like a war where Altman and Brockman form a new for profit company that kills OpenAI?

by t0mas88 3y ago
That comparison doesn't make much sense, they didn't fire the CEO to reduce costs. What looks quite unprofessional (at least on the outside) here is that a surprise board meeting was called without two of the board members present

Imagine explaining to the court that the passengers were blown up by your AI algorithm... I expect these things are only on test flights indeed.

Yes, the London region already published a test advisory to verify that all systems are working. It illustrates what a real one could look like: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/vaac/vag/pfxd01_eg

I liked those effects back in the day, but have to admit I've set my macbook to "reduce motion" because it's faster to use with most effects disabled. For example alt-tabbing between spreadsheets to look at something whi

A lot of ads aren't about a click and direct transaction. FMCG brands run ads just to increase brand exposure all the time, there is no e-commerce environment to buy a can of beer or a tube of toothpaste after the click.

Indeed, there is no D1-ESP32 from Wemos. It's a name used by several non-Wemos clones that have an ESP32 chip in a module form factor that is compatible with the original Wemos D1 mini. The challenge is that these modules are not all t

No need to call it insane so many times, please keep things a bit more civilised. And maybe next time read the article before you continue to comment on it, because this is not my "insane view of the wording of the law". This is h

Read again, and retry :-) because you've missed the key distinction: required for delivery of the requested service. That's how the e-privacy directive works. Doesn't matter whether you agree with it, it's legal fact in

They're running a javascript on the device that is not needed to deliver the service. And that script accesses attributes of the browser. That's illegal without user consent. If they would detect this server side it wouldn't

Sure. But in other places ATC would arrange a gate, request law enforcement to that gate, then have ground control direct the aircraft to that gate after landing. No need for the crew to discuss and relay gate assignment to ATC while in the

They are free to make it a paid subscription service, no legal challenge there. What they cannot do is access your device without your consent. So scanning for adblock extensions is illegal in Europe if you didn't ask permission for it

As a European pilot I'm always so surprised by the unprofessional incident handling of American ATC. Seriously, this crew is shaken up, someone in the cockpit interfered with the flight. Now they're making an unplanned approach an

It's done thousands of times every day. Not just the same airline, nearly all airlines are part of the CASS system, which authorizes this. There are multiple examples of an additional crew member (an "off duty" pilot on the j

No. There are two fire handles in the overhead panel, one for each engine (and a similar one for the APU on some types). You pull it, that immediately shuts off fuel, hydraulics, generators etc on that engine. Twist it to discharge the fire
