Europe has plenty of hardware if you look outside of the top 70 companies by market cap. Even in this arbitrary selection, GP missed Arm.

GDPR also applies to the government.

Judging by rank is a bad metric anyway. Why should ST, Infineon, NXP, Arm (UK, not EU), Airbus, Safran, etc. be considered irrelevant because they are not in the top 70 or 100?

No hardware besides ASML? Nonsense.

The article mentions that the agents caused an outage of the WDQS in May.

> Heck, didn’t New Caledonia see a wave of protests that were crushed in the past year or two?

Yes, that's why the risk is NOT the same between French Guiana and New Caledonia. Both of them are oversea territories far from the mainland with a colonial past, but their current relationship with the mainland is very different.

Around a quarter of the population of New Caledonia has been calling for independence for decades at this point, with 3 referendum organised during the last 10 years to resolve this issue. Only half of the population was able to vote to the referendums (and some local elections, like Congress of NC), due to local rules than are about to change–this, incidentally, is the cause of the protests you are talking about. On the geopolitical side of things, the independentists are probably propped up by Azerbaijan (https://www.courrierinternational.com/article/geopolitique-n...) and maybe China (https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/ambitions-geostrategiq...).

None of this holds for French Guiana. The risk between these territories is not the same. At all. Putting them on the same level by reducing them to their status as former colonies is nonsense.

“Vulnerable to the US” can mean so many things that it practically loses all meaning. Even with a launchpad in continental Europe, they have many ways to interfere with this project, from disrupting the supply chain to carpet bombing the launch site.

Although you're right about the history of French Guiana, using that term to put on the same level as New Caledonia is nonsense. (Same goes for Martinique.)

I do not think so, but anyway, it is definitely not a proof that we are further decoupling ourselves from the US, which is the claim made in the root comment. France has launched rockets from France for decades. Being an ocean away does not make Kourou reliant on the US.

From a sovereignty perspective, does a launch from continental Europe actually matter when Arianespace/CNES/ESA has been launching from France for decades?

Refer to my first comment.

If they are strictly increasing our already unsustainable emissions level, yes. Eg. I am very much in favour of replacing coal and gas power stations with nuclear power stations, banning cars from city centres, etc.

Our current emissions level is causing climate change.

Well, FIFA is also an European organization. Swiss, to be exact.

And that data must be held for a limited amount of time under GDPR article 5(1)e. Sony’s policy is very much a consequence of this.

No need to wait for the courts’ opinions: controllers must keep the data for a limited amount of time (which can be something like “3 years after the last connection”) under GDPR article 5(1)e.

> (It exempts military and national-security uses.)

The EU cannot legislate on national security matters.

> It seem like the normal mode (protected flight envelope) is just encouraging bad habits?

Maybe, but at the same time it helps avoiding crashes like Sriwijaya 182 or Flydubai 981. Airbus has shown that planes with fly-by-wire and any kind of flight envelope protection (A320 and newer, A220, B777 and 787, etc.) experience less fatal accidents and less hull losses than planes with traditional controls (A300, A310, B737, etc.), even today: https://accidentstats.airbus.com/fatal-accidents/

Unfortunately, these safety improvements mean that we only hear about cases where automation fail to help, like in the case of AF447, but not cases where it prevented an accident.

GP claimed “there doesn't exist any situation, in any plane in any conditions, where holding the stick back the entire time would be an appropriate input. Literally doesn't exist.” That's what I was replying to.

The same thing happens on the 777 and 787: if too much opposite force is applied on both yokes, they lose their linkage and are averaged. There is no warning or priority button, unlike on Airbus planes.

Older Boeing planes also have a mechanism to unlink the controls if too much opposite force is applied. The left yoke would control the left side of the plane, the right yoke would control the right side.

Interestingly, the dual-input rate is roughly the same on Airbus and Boeing planes: 0.44 per 1000 flights and 0.4 per 1000 flights, respectively: https://bea.aero/fileadmin/user_upload/F-GSQJ_finalreport_EN... pages 45 and 47.

> There aren’t any flying conditions where that’s an appropriate input.

It's the procedure for various GPWS cautions and warnings on Airbus planes, and can also be done in a windshear.

On Airbus, the GPWS “pull up” escape maneuver requires full backstick until clear of obstacle. It can also be done for a windshear escape maneuver.

Going by CVEs, Haiku is more secure than OpenBSD. Linux has had strong kernel-level crypto enabled by default on major distributions for years, see AF_ALG or LUKS.

On the wiki page you provided, the only thing that really stands out at the kernel level is KARL, which has a dubious utility: https://isopenbsdsecu.re/mitigations/karl/ It is not even up to date: strlcpy(3) and strlcat(3) were implemented in glibc 3 years ago.

Yeah, I also expect better than amateur-level redaction from a system that OpenAI marketing sells as a team of PhD in your pocket.

85% of prison sentences of more than two years also carry “exécution provisoire”: https://www.justice.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/migrations/p... (page 2). Sentences of more than 2 years are not the norm though.

> He will most likely ask the courts to review the execution of the sentence until the appeal in the next few days.

He already did.

I did. It worked without issues on my end.

> I guess US doesn't have a body like the EU Commission, that is not elected and that represents the interests of the "deep state".

The Commission is the executive branch, so maybe an equivalent would be the Executive Departments?
