Well, somebody’s passport number.

The Reuter’s article [0] this points to gives more info. Basically the judge felt the plaintiff was unrepresentative of the claimed class and any benefit would accrue to plaintiff …

Mildly OT, as you’re a blind tennis fan, have you ever tried the adapted version of the sport for blind and partially sighted participants? If not, and you’re interested, I might b…

No. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the law. IP addresses are considered PII if and only if they can actually be legally used to identify an individual. And even where th…

GDPR is for the most part making explicit things were implicit in the pre existing EU legislation, many of which have been subject to EU court rulings. There is a ton of precedent.…

IP addresses are only PII if you are able to actually use them identify an individual. > The CJEU decided that a dynamic IP address will be personal data in the hands of a website …

You make this assertion elsewhere in the thread. It is incorrect. The entirety of the legislation is 88 pages long and it is really quite straightforward (full link preserved) [1].…

Maybe. But where was he, and where were the rest of his party when this abomination was being shoved through parliament? Abstaining in the commons and cheerleading it in the lords.…

I think everyone can understand why it's been done. Because parliamentarians have looked at the legislation and come to the conclusion that it would infringe on what they believe t…

Guess we're about to find out. The current government (albeit with a different (arguably more liberal) PM) has already revealed it has a desire to criminalise any crypto it can't d…

Cool. Now all I have to do is prove that to the satisfaction of the investigation while they crawl all over the rest of my life looking for clues as to what it is I'm so keen on hi…

To make you censor yourself so they don't have to. Same deal with the porn one. There was a piece by Alec Muffet not so long ago discussing the consultation process for age verific…

I fail to see how placing an entire population's electronic communication under surveillance is a proportionate response to this kind of 'low hanging fruit' offender.

"To ensure they do not succeed, we do not comment publicly on the methods or capabilities available to the security and intelligence agencies." Oh but you don't need to, because it…

Yeah, we got that part from the original. To qualify as a joke I would have thought there needs to be a punchline that allows it to transcend lazy stereotyping. "Ha he means gold d…

The HN audience likely sees a number of potential readings in context and is interested in which particular one you and GP have chosen to reify. It's unlikely (as shown by negative…

Would the person or persons down voting all the author of TFA's comments mind explaining why? Seems a bit off.

Not even true. I have had this problem and had it traced to water ingress in a junction box some distance away.

> Which are all relatively poorly paying Relative to stuff we place higher utility on than art, because opportunity cost. But as the price of that stuff approaches zero due to mass…

> I imagine that when the very first computing systems were being built, some humans were still on parity / better than the new systems. I mean I guess it depends on how far back y…

Why would they oppose it? It was their idea in the first place. Putting the entire population under constant electronic surveillance may be the one thing they agree with Tories abo…

London, frequently. Try getting a cab from Hammersmith out to Roehampton and you'll get a stream of "I'm not going that way" responses. Simple economic reason is that the driver is…

But I don't want to hear sounds generated by the web audio API. So this behaviour seems entirely correct to me.
