viro··on “Peek Performance” Apple Event Scheduled for Tuesday
huh? Wanna try again?
viro··on Court Rules Websites Embedding Google Fonts Violates GDPR
You're asking for legal protection that you don't force onto your own court system. Does your court system inform criminals they are being wiretapped during an active investigation?
viro··on Court Rules Websites Embedding Google Fonts Violates GDPR
"Via warrant or subpoena" You want American companies to ignore court orders. This isn't about privacy protections. You want EU data to be immune from court orders.
viro··on Court Rules Websites Embedding Google Fonts Violates GDPR
This is silly, next up CDNs violate GDPR.
viro··on No minimum parking requirements? No problem for Fayetteville, Arkansas
Then why was there a mass exodus during the height of WFH? Data seems to show that people pay that premium to reduce commute time. Let's not forget full remote was a lot harder to get before covid.
viro··on The Meme Leak Theory
Umm instead of wasting time here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...

as you can see a couple of those are laws like CP and "Threatening the president"

viro··on The Meme Leak Theory
Like what? I have a feeling there aren't as many as you think. Most of them are about ordering people to commit literal violence/crimes.
viro··on Dutch foundation seeks consumer damages over Apple, Google app payments
Great, Dark patterns now coming to iOS.
viro··on Trudeau Invokes Emergencies Act
yea.... That's not something to be proud of.
viro··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
Then why did Facebook lose 10b dollars from losing that tracking data on iOS?
viro··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
> So, basically, the US security services can hoover up data about EU citizens, and those EU citizens aren't allowed any legal redress about it. Which, unsurprisingly, they aren't okay with.

Nothing about this stops that. Like I said to the other person this is protectionism. Requiring every US-based tech company to duplicate its infrastructure in the EU, Which in turn gives EU competitors an unfair advantage.

viro··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
Why should every US tech company be expected to duplicate its infrastructure in the EU? Google isn't special, this applies to EVERY US-based competitor to GA. This gives EU competitors an unfair advantage.... and that's the real point.
viro··on Postman Now Supports gRPC
It also probably didn't help that I was doing on prim VMWare which wasn't a super common use case at the time.
viro··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
nope, it's that the legal entity is required to honor US warrants. EU wants full control over that process.
viro··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
That's why this whole thing is nothing but protectionism.
viro··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
That's not the problem here at all tho.
viro··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
source? Since conventional wisdom disagrees with you.
viro··on Docker for Mac Without Docker Desktop
old? It happened last week for me.
viro··on Postman Now Supports gRPC
man, terraform errors are VERY vague. at least when I was using it.
viro··on Docker for Mac Without Docker Desktop
I have a simple one for ya... Use docker and Vmware on the same windows machine.
viro··on Docker for Mac Without Docker Desktop
oh wow he completely misrepresented that stat.
viro··on Ask HN: Why is there no high quality method for voice control of a PC?
My first guess would be "Open hacker news" requires clear audible speech. While the KB method just requires pressing 'h' and 'enter'. Also, non-cloud speech recognition just recently got decent.
viro··on Ask HN: Why is there no high quality method for voice control of a PC?
... because it's not a good way to control a computer?
viro··on Fake 2TB USBs on Bezos shopping site
Why Amazon and not the people committing the fraud? I don't know why so many people think private companies should be doing the job of the government. Unless you want Amazon to completely get rid of 3rd party sellers.
viro··on Fake 2TB USBs on Bezos shopping site
So they should force 3rd party sellers to use the "fulfillment by amazon" so they can validate the product?
viro··on Dev corrupts NPM libs 'colors' and 'faker', breaking thousands of apps
The intent is extremely important to the word malware. the intent WAS malicious.
viro··on Dev corrupts NPM libs 'colors' and 'faker', breaking thousands of apps
Are you arguing that most malware should be legal because the user downloaded it and ran it?
viro··on Dev corrupts NPM libs 'colors' and 'faker', breaking thousands of apps
malware is malware. You don't have a right to change ur software to malware. "wElL yOu ShOuLd HaVe Tested" no you shouldn't push software in bad faith designed to crash apps that use it.
viro··on Dev corrupts NPM libs 'colors' and 'faker', breaking thousands of apps
> There's plenty of people here already that disagree on whether the intent was malicious.

No, I haven't seen many people try to argue that the intent wasn't malicious. Most people seem to be arguing that it's fine and npm and Github should allow it. Or the classic you shouldn't trust random software. If you ever wonder why people like the Apple app store just look at the Devs in this comment section. Makes it kinda hard to trust you.

viro··on Dev corrupts NPM libs 'colors' and 'faker', breaking thousands of apps
You think pushing malware in a fake app update isn't criminal?
