The recent election was an internal party election, similar to the Republican or Democratic National Congress. This is because in a general election in the UK, the Prime Minister is not directly elected by the people - they vote for a party

Right now? Single digits. But right now does not matter. The marketshare of electric vehicles globally will be > 90% in the future. And not "the future" like some Star Trek utopia. Ireland has committed to no new petrol/di

At least in the case with AWS, unfortunately there's business involved - because of their uptime guarantee, incidents that would be called downtime by a purely technical team are left as "operational" or "partly degraded

Well that's what I'm saying - this is what you hear people spouting, it doesn't matter that there were good reasons for everything, you just have the distrust of the democratic process left at the end of the day.

Think about practically any political issue, in the US or elsewhere. "Fair" and "sensible" are rarely anywhere near the primary considerations, are they? I do think what you suggest would be fair and sensible. I do not b

The conclusion is there's no problem, that it wasn't the nefarious activity that he originally thought it was. The additional point he's trying to make is that app developers should use FLAG_SECURE if its confidential data -

It used to. In fact Spotify shared the same auth database with Facebook (not oAuth, the literal same password - change it in FB, it changed in Spotify and vice versa)

It doesn't matter if they tell you they are not in the EU. If they ARE there, GDPR applies. Clicking the button does not absolve the site of those responsibilities nor does it pass the liability to the user.

I am this person - the one who will politely decline your offer and close the door. I have no interest in meeting my neighbors. Having them come over unannounced would literally ruin my day. It's not about you. It's about me wanti

It was preposterous and still is. It just happens to also be what a vocal minority want, so here we are. There will be a tiny cohort of players who will play this and genuinely enjoy it. The rest will be people who thought it was amazing (i

Do you also remember the massive imbalances in world PVP? The majority of servers were significantly skewed towards one faction (my own was 3:1) which meant world PVP was super fun primarily for the overpopulated faction. This is the entire

WhatsApp and FB are the tools. The infrastructure. Within these tools are the individual groups, where every group has its own identity, self-expression, and privacy. You may ask why I say privacy, when recent events have proved that an ill

Have you considered applying for (remote) jobs outside of the US? At least in Europe background checks are very unusual, although with a unique name maybe even a simple Google search would "out" you :/ (I'm not saying yo

Facebook ad targeting does not require you to use Facebook. Facebook Audience Network is a display ad network like Adwords. It's deployed widely across the web and mobile apps.

Well I didn't necessarily say the law itself is unclear, just that the understanding of it as a whole seems to be unclear. Anecdotally, almost everyone I speak to at events seems to have different views on what they need to do. I'

We've posted two conflicting answers to this question and I think that's indicative of how little the law is understood, only a few weeks from going into force.

It's a geolocation rather than a flag, although perhaps the "Current Location" profile field would be enough? If I were FB I would want to cover my ass on that one and accept any signal at all that the user is within the EU.

So to my understanding, the law does not actually refer to EU Citizens, and rather it refers to people within the EU (citizen or not). I found this excerpt from https://cybercounsel.co.uk/data-subjects/ informative: A

They already like too many things. The action has already happened, your suggestion would only apply for new users. And as I mentioned, I don't believe people will curate their feed by going to the effort of removing hundreds of page

Time and time again I see the complaint that people want a 'Most Recent' news feed instead of algorithm-chosen and that's why they don't use Facebook anymore. This type of feed would be unusable for the vast majority of

They didn't communicate that there would even be a maintenance to their users. I use Kraken every day and did not receive any sort of email and there wasn't a notice on the site that I could see. Maybe they announced on social med

I would guess that it was "max progression" rather than max level. So, maxing out your gear, completing all the available raid tiers or hitting top rank in PVP.

Checkout is a great way to get started fast (like, in <15 mins). Multilingual support would be great, and also a more customer friendly interface for those who might not be familiar with things like CVCs. Those two things are reasons I h
