Is GDPR coming to restaurants somehow? Oh god! This really is getting worse and worse. Is this for things like remembering your favorite orders etc? I could see some GDPR arguments there. What if a waitress just remembers your orders in the

I'm not giving a legal opinion, but some say that "Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous." So a question remains, if you give someone the option to decline to be tracked, is that enough? Or do you n

Again, this illustrates are badly understood and hard GDPR is. Browser preferences are opt-out currently. ie, users has to go set some flag. The GDPR requires informed affirmative consent. "Consent must be freely given, specific, infor

They are not doing that. Matomo anonymous Ip is separate (and google and others use similar features). They claim no cookie consent is needed because: * tracking cookies are not used * the data is not used for any other purpose than analyti

The issue though here is around consent pop-ups being found to violate the GDPR. I'm just pointing out that the pop-ups continue to be very complicated for folks to deal with. My understanding is that the cookie set by the consent pop-

Sorry for not being clearer - I will try to spell things out better. "Incognito" mode (or whatever one's browser may call it) is irrelevant in this scenario." No it is not. When looking at what a website does, if you bro

We are being told "They often do not allow a single click deny, you have to go through sometimes dozens of vendors and deny them one-by-one. This is so obviously illegal it isn't even funny." The site sets two cookies on land

I'm not sure if this is intended as a joke or not. " Astronomers are very cost-conscious," Have you paid any attention to cost over-runs on TMT or Webb? Can you give me an example if a larger $100M+ project done on a payment

by whoknowswhat11 5y ago
But it's not actually how they do it. Payment is based on COST incurred, not delivery. Or expenditure to a limit regardless of outcome. For Webb we have this: "All told, NASA has spent about $9.7 billion on the project, which has

Again, if the move is data intensive, do a fleet in space, do long baseline stuff in space if possible. We went from inmarsat (I was a user) to starlink launching. The differences are remarkable. All we hear from astro community is how terr

This is what is so interesting to me. I'm not saying EUV astro in particular. And frankly how does EUV even work terrestrially? From what I've seen it really doesn't work so well. What I am pointing out is that something has

The swap is generally for light collector, being exposed to a plasma light source! I would expect demands in astro to be much simpler. These machines are in the 10's to 100's of kw of power needed. Size is 15-20 inches. Despite wh

Existing players generally get to keep their funding for a while. Space Launch System is ticking along, going to be $20B to first launch and then $2B per launch after that - just imagine those costs. I have no doubt old Astro existing proje

One group is building a 100,000+ part device, with much HIGHER accuracy than astro, using a miserable wavelength (UV) for $200M a machine. Not only that, they are doing UV light emission generation (dual laser) at 50,000 per second just to

Exactly - try new things, experiment. The existing funding streams are calcified, and we've gotten to a point with the monster projects that they basically turn into drag out career builders. Things like James Webb, TMT etc. At some po

I lived in Europe for a number of years. At least then, transit was great and I used it extensively. In San Francisco at least, for policy reasons, transit is pretty grim. I witnessed a guy getting beat up for stopping a tourist scam. Inter

The issue with public transit is that a) its often out of my control in terms of options to fix it b) some things (violence) seem to have become accepted. c) there are a ton of (very) entrenched special interests which make touching any ele

Actually, the 64/64 split is not always the same. I cannot get my ISP to allocate me a SINGLE static ipv6. So it's much MUCH more expensive to get an ipv6 address than an ipv4 static IP address.

It's a combination of a couple of factors. 1) Huawei had a tech / competitive lead vis a vis western firms, so those firms have been pushing / lobbying / this narrative of distrust around Huawei. 2) Huawei has done itsel
