Germany could learn a lesson or two here...

>The legal basis? Not consent.

You read and agreed with the terms explicitly stating the data would be used to do those things, and it was not at all necessary for you to do that. What else do you want? It seems like consent isn't the issue. You just don't like what this company does, and still volunteer your data for them to do just that. Now you regret it and write a blog post?

One thing is to be tricked or misled, or for a government to force your face to be scanned and shared with a third party. Another is to have terms explicitly saying this will be done, requiring explicit agreement, and no one forcing you to do it.

Science as an "institution" serves only to protect egos, fraudsters, and politicians.

When citizen science is ridiculed and "the institution of science" is glorified this is what you get.

And anyone who dares to profess this, is a loony, a conspiracy theorist, an anti-scientific person, etc.

The government who wages the wars and brings its terrors home invades people's privacy and comfort in the small amount of time they have away from the toll they put to pay their taxes, and the people are thankful, after all, all of it is for their safety.

You get a glimpse of how dislocated from reality the HN crowd is when "€250/d doesn't sound too bad".

You would be breaking the law in Europe.

There's a Star Trek episode with this exact plot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_a_Life_(Star_Trek:_The_Ne...

Government is overreaching, it must be someone else's fault!

lol

>DNS query [...] in the clear. [...] (DoH) plugs this privacy leak [...] no one on the network, not your internet service provider [...] can eavesdrop on your browsing

Whoever could see DNS traffic can still see the target you're connecting to...

But the police/courts would never do something like this... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12073390

Depending on the circumstances, maybe ditch the landline local ISP for a satellite connection with a foreign ISP?

China.

Seems like a deliberate effort not to mention it in the title and abstract, despite the text clearly defining "East Asia" as "mainly China".

Also major contributor to plastic pollution in the ocean (from rivers) and #1 in CO2 emissions. All the while western economies hurt themselves and consumers in vain efforts instead of being serious about the issue and confronting its major contributor.

Yet the stock refuses to go down from a PE of almost 200, to the dismay of my options play... :-)

>In 2013, neuroscientist Henry Markram secured about 1 billion euros from the European Union to "simulate the human brain" — a proposal widely deemed unrealistic even at the time. The project faced significant challenges and ultimately did not meet its ambitious yet vague goals

Ah, so this is where 45% of my salary goes.

Your car makers and economy sure are doing great.

Such a freer country is China than the US... Funny word to use in this context also, to dictate...

YouTube is notorious for that, though. With that context, this is one more instance, showing that the issue persists. I remember a German youtuber tried to unionize creators through IG Metall, though there doesn't seem to be any news in years so I'm not sure it went anywhere. https://fairtube.info/en/seite/press-coverage-of-fairtube/

People who sign-off on the programs to do the task can be held accountable, they just aren't. It's not about computers, it's about the legal system.

Understanding the origin is the most critical piece of information to avoid future pandemics. Current data is inconclusive even for the most basic questions, such as the origin being natural or not, which very much matters, but investigation efforts are actively suppressed. Or at least I would think it matters, you and everyone else do not seem to care.

Thank god for those apps. Screw regulators.

All cars in Europe must be connected to the internet at all times by law, to determine their location, in case of an accident the law states.

In the US a bill was passed requiring driver impairment equipment on all vehicles and automatic deactivation of the vehicle if the driver is determined to be impaired. Current impairment technology monitors head and eye movement and/or blood or breath.

Basic screaming-at-your-face statistics, gets traction, specially coupled with the mental gymnasts trying to "disprove" facts, shouting "spurious correlation" when the implied causation is clear... Paper money is nothing new and this is nothing short of expected. The only surprise is people's surprise.

She got the money from a divorce. What comes easy goes easy. I feel bad for the ex-husband.

Same here, but Cloudflare's captchas in particular are actually the easiest to pass in my experience. Google's ones are the killers. But yeah everything has a captcha if you're using a VPN or Firefox.

You can, at the same time, verify a person's identity upon opening the account, as you mentioned with documents, and use a TOTP MFA instead of SIM-based authentication. If regulators require SIM-based authn, then it's just bad policy, which should come to no one's surprise when it comes to government regulation. Finally, KYC is for the IRS. The illusion of safety makes a good selling point, though.

My experience with home assistance voice pipeline is nothing works and stt is terrible. I'll have to wait and see the reviews.

Yeah, I never got the audio (stt and tts) / assistant pipeline quite working, always the weirdest issues. I tried running with Docker and other configurations I don't even remember. Discord folks weren't very helpful. It's too bloated to run on old Pi's, requires new ones which are just computers by now and not cheap anymore. Gave up on it long ago.

When your waste is irrelevant vs that of your neighbor, paying a high price to do your insignificant part is simply inefficient. If people really cared about a global impact, the approach would need to be radically different.
