Doesn't he usually portrait CIA agents as incompetent or heavy handed but also well-founded?

Hmm... that's not good, I really prefer LXC to docker (mainly because of better security and that I use Ubuntu and debian images instead of alpine anyway)

How well does system stuff work as snaps/flatpacks? (I.e. things like LXC and multipass)

Well, you don't always get to choose the area you get lost in :) Source: got lost in another country a month later. In a city with the highest homicide rate in the world.

> walkable cities I know this is not what you meant, but I have a story about city walks for you: Got lost and had to walk alone in downtown DC one late night. Made me decide to not take that job in NY and move back to Europe.

That was said during the pandemic. I feel you are pushing a narrative here.

To be fair, klarna was a tiny stockholm startup that is now beating SV giants PayPal and stripe in many EU counties. There are also some big fintech startups around Klarna that seem to do very well. So I don't see any problems with the

Your mistake is that you belive that (1) the law is not clear and (2) these poor companies end up with these crazy solutions because the law is unclear. The thing is that the _intent_ of the law is very clear. You could search for loopholes

But that means they can do whatever they want with your data during that session? Furthermore, some store it externally (e.g Trustarc) and maybe they can recover your consent later somehow?

Revenue increased probably because of the hack, because that seems to be how it works in this twisted world. (i am looking at you Zoom)

My personal take is that there is no real legitimate interest here and these companies are just testing to see how far they can push this.

Can HN readers do an analysis of trustarcs code and publish it here? Is that thing doing anything or communicating with any servers while we are waiting?

Actually that is not 100% correct. We now have things like platform attestation that - unless your adversary is a state actor - stops some physical attacks. (Not available rpi right now, but maybe in 4-6 years?)

It feels as if the companies are working hard to make it annoying and complex to opt out. Every iteration makes things a bit worse. We need people like Max to stop this annoying trend. Edit: while at it, i have to get this off my chest: Le

Hmm... I thinks this is what I used to learn C - on an Amiga. Oh, the memories... ... most of them about waiting for the disk to finish reading just to run out of memory thanks to Intuitions.h being such a beast. I think one of my first re

Hold your horses, put down the pitchforks. You realise the author is a _member of the European Parliament_?? And at least in my corner of EU we vote on who to send to EU parliament. You can vote on whoever you want in the national elections

EU guy here, curious how this is received in US. Can someone who donated to Trumps after-election campaign tell me what he/she feels about this? Partisan shenanigans or a generally good idea?

Yeah, that's me 3-4 years ago. Then I ran emacs on a new machine for months before realising my .emacs refused to load correctly because I had not installed the correct fonts and cscope. So dot files are not foolproof. (Throwaway acco

Friendly reminder that when EU hits you with fines of this magnitude, then they are probably _also_ mad at your for other reasons too. Like doing your damnest to not pay any corporate taxes. At this point, EU is using GDPR the same way US u
