The national agencies evaluates the complain and take a decision, which I hope will happen before the end of the year. Exactly how it happens depends on the country, as the GDPR le…

That's funny, you expressed confusion just two post back about whether you are doing falls under GDPR :)

So like a CEO, that is liable for all violations employees do that they've not managed to put on someone else?

I'd say if you put it on a indoor table, a measly cubic centimetre of sand can make a (small) pile, and a random estimate on the internet states that there are 8000 grains of sand …

What you are describing is what must be done when one embarks on a project of literary study. If you just want a story, which is what almost all readers actually read for, just rea…

Props for using the proper name of Ibn Sina!

No, you have to ask and receive consent explicitly for the processing you want to do, not as part of some larger package.

I don't know any accountability processes for the moderation on hackernews, but I'm sure you've considered that already.

That's a novel claim, usually security experts are always complaining that people just click "accept" and ignore all the warnings of broken crypto and all that. How foolish they wi…

Go read Hossenfelder's review instead, its a better teardown. The fourth paragraph is: > “Losing the Nobel Prize” is well written and engaging and has a lot of figures and, ah, her…

I don't know how to estimate their reckless from the outside, but it is simple fact that however sensitive, they only had one waveband and so no real way of estimating the foregrou…

You got a vote, in exchange I want 10% of all your karma for the next year, or your account password retain the possibility of "correcting" the growth path of your account. Also: s…

Here, this should explain it in a bit more detail: https://physics.aps.org/articles/v11/34 It's written by someone more interested in conveying truth than hyping a null result, so …

[for this experiment] I presume he added silently, or did he just diss all the other axion searches out there?

My browser rendered it as a long list, so it doesn't even respect the canonical table format :'(

There is probably intelligent conscious life out there in the universe, and considering the mass extinction we are setting up right now it might be best to leave it alone. So keep …

How easy is it for automated tools to spot encryption routines in a binary? If my notepad replacement had call to encryption algorithms in it I'd be a bit surprised...
