Wow, the incognito mode blocking is something I've never seen before. Disgusting. Hopefully Google corrects the bug which they are using to discover the incognito mode status.
They are working on that actually, planned to be in Chrome 74 and then enabled by default in Chrome 76.
Interesting. Here's an article describing the changes: https://9to5google.com/2019/02/15/google-chrome-detect-incog...

#23US media. Why do I need always a VPN from Europe? Beeing GDPR compliant is not rocket science. "Unfortunately, our site is unavailable to European Union visitors... blablabla". UPDATE: And this news website even detects if I use incognito mode: "To continue reading, please disable private/incognito mode, log in, or enroll as a member" omg
> Beeing GDPR compliant is not rocket science. Its also not free. Rational companies will apply a cost benefit analysis to GDPR compliance and some of them will determine it is better to block EU visitors than to do the GDPR work.
Well this is the WWW at its 30th birthday... we have regional internet nowadays :(

Bingo, correct answer. I'm a bit saddened that I see how few people seem to understand this.
This is a real cost of the GDPR. If enforcement ticks up more companies will do the cost/benefit and some will decide to withdraw from the European internet. That leads to a more fractured web.

#25This article is less compelling than the title would suggest.
After the Lion Air crash the FAA released a Emergency Airworthiness Directive, these five comments are in response to that directive. That differentiates it from pilots that had a negative run-in with MCAS or other defects in the 737 Max 8 (which would be significant news).
This article might inform you pilots are unhappy, but that fact has been widely circulated elsewhere since the Lion Air crash. The fact that five pilots submitted official comments doesn't add to what we knew.
These comments for example wouldn't have helped inform the FAA's decisions, since the FAA told the pilots about the issues in the Emergency Airworthiness Directive that these comments are based upon.

They are also able to detect private mode in FireFox
I was able to eventually get past it using ABP by adding rules to block https://courier-api.dallasnews.com/v1/paywall/* and www.dallasnews.com###courier-iframe

#27> The News found at least five complaints about the Boeing model in a federal database where pilots can voluntarily report about aviation incidents without fear of repercussions. Is this a lot?
Yes. Recalls with autos happen more often with a lot less. Consider the amount of cars out there. It only takes a few to put one in play.
ASRS doesn't deal with reports about auto-safety.
eg. search for ACN 1337942 here https://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/search/dbol.html (i'm too dumb to figure out how to link to a specific nasa report), and there's a report about the captain's side AOA vane being busted and causing the captain's stick shaker to vibrate constantly.
edit: here's another one: 1097906, talking about inconsistent airspeed readings between the captain and first officer and then on descent, the airspeed readings went super wonky and the plane pitched nose down.

Well US media hates GDPR. Its all a circular reference
It will come there too.

They mostly seem to agree with each other which is the scary part. Several of them reference a completely unexplained pitch up/down behavior during a climb. During landing an unplanned nosedive would be disastrous.

#30Some context:
1. There have been 865 737 related ASRS reports since 1/1/2018
2. I don't know how to quickly separate out 737-MAX reports from the non 737-MAX reports, as the ASRS database doesn't include 737-MAX as an airplane type! From scanning, I can say that there are more than five MAX related reports, though.
