    It means designating a person that understands GDPR in the scope it applies to the particular data set and handles requests/security incidents. It can be secretary after a few hour…

    So what are those problematic GDPR requirements? - ask for permission - do not collect more than you have - store securely - allow users to change or remove their data - have a ded…

    You can't return it "no questions asked", but if the product doesn't work you can request them to make it work or refund if they're unable to. If they don't want there is small cla…

    If you need to be precise with real numbers you need to use interval arithmetics to know your uncertainty range. Or you need infinite memory. For C++ there's a nice boost::numeric:…

    They're preventing citizens from publishing that info, not looking around and measuring from what I found. Imagine a country that prevents its citizens from recording a song they h…

    C translates directly to ASM in many cases. It just makes managing offsets and other stuff easier. C++ adds type-safety on top of that for no cost. It's great when your compiler te…

    If it works like presented on those mockups it is useless. And since we only see mockups I'm sure it doesn't work at all and is a scam. I've tried to make a DIY hud for bicycle rid…

    I don't think you can smell ozone - it's rather noxious. I think what you can smell as "thunderstorm" is the air cleaned a bit by ozone and the process of ionization (which traps s…

    Current permission is really old, backward-compatible and simple system that works well in most situations. setfacl exists is supported for years (although I prefer windows file pe…

    I had 2 tricks - really high-order filter borrowed from some paper and the assumption that a walking human doesn't gain constant acceleration. Even in an elevator you stop on a flo…

    While INS is not simple, it's also not that difficult to implement. As even the cheapest drones that can hover show new MEMS sensors are accurate enough to work with a proper filte…

    I don't know about the US, but in the EU regulators DID step in and limited amount of ozone that can be produced by consumer devices to relatively safe levels. It will smell like t…

    If you do the forestry right you create many plots in there and aim to cut down e.g. 2% in a given year. That mean you will get the whole forest replaced in 50 years. If you're car…

    Biomass takes 5-10 years to grow. Given that it can be used in many coal furnaces it is imo the best "now" solution.

    Comment #28935336

    But now a lot of infrastructure runs on coal. You can use wood instead and have this carbon captured and reused in the next 10 years or you can still burn coal while awaiting a per…

    But that's the idea behind the biomass burning. If you just burn all the forests an be done with it it's a bad idea. But if you replant the forests with fast growing species you ca…

    Compare that to a strip mine and it is way smaller horror. It can create place to live for animals, it can reduce particulates in the air. It's not a normal long-living forest that…

    Nuclear is good. Wood is carbon-neutral. We should use both to move ASAP from gas and coal. Especially that wood is easier to use in some existing coal furnaces. And if you think t…

    Good furnace produce little particulate emission so its almost on par with burning gas. Biomass - so mostly wood, wicker or straw has all its carbon content coming from the air - t…
