Is their job to reduce private data to the minimum needed, or the maximum allowed?

Probably to find loopholes and questionable interpretations.

Would you consider GDPR a failure if businesses collected the maximum allowed under the law?

A requirement to minimize data collection is part of it.

Imagine if security software did that, but also ran on boot and took down a million critical machines

If you're expecting a week's worth of work from them you'd better pay them for their time, if they turn up.

I rarely see RSS buttons on websites any more, rarely does a podcast link to an RSS feed


Now it has working auto update they should get loads more downloads


The old human:

1. Born into plague 2. Never learns maths or writing 3. Nor spelling 4. Half the time your life ends before childhood does 5. Nothing happens in your life


I can't believe that people unironically believe that humans lived unfulfilling lives until mass consumerism started. Incredible.

Just because we don't know what daily life looked like doesn't mean "nothing happened".


Nevermind that "nothing happening" sounds positively amazing, especially if my surroundings were a bucolic river side European village.

Farm work done? Picked all my parasites out of my hair and clothes? Now to settle down for the very-zen "sit by the fire, sing some peasant songs and do nothing" -- sounds amazing


Maybe we can have modern medicine AND no social media.


Yes, because those are clearly the only two choices.


Touche.

So what’s the takeaway, life a bitch and then you die?


However they applied it to all phones of that model, not just ones with degraded batteries


No, it was dynamic based on voltage. iPhones with worn batteries had higher performance at full battery and swapping the battery with a fresh replacement restored full performance even at low battery percentage. In fact this is how the slowdown was discovered: someone replaced their iPhone battery with a non-genuine replacement and it got noticeably faster.


Given that a) most human rated rockets have had 0 flights before use, and b) I'd expect each starship to have at least 10 flights, and at least 100 in total without mishap before launching, the statistics should be good


I don’t think (a) is true. The Shuttle flew with people on its maiden voyage, but that’s the only one I can think of.

(b) is true and should make it substantially safer than other launch systems. But given how narrow the margins are for something going wrong (zero ability to land safely with all engines dead, for example) it’s still going to be pretty dangerous compared to more mundane forms of travel.


Most rockets flew test flights before sticking people inside the same model, but most rockets are also single use and so each stack is fundamentally new.

A future starship could plausibly be the first rocket to fly to space unmanned, return, and then fly humans to space!


Don't use the homepage, use the subscriptions page


When you turn off search history, it makes the homepage useless and the subscriptions page becomes unavoidably the next step.

Discovery of content happens in the sidebar from videos I enjoy now, and only when I'm in the mood to discover something.


Quassel is basically self hosted irccloud, I use it on 5 computers, Windows, Linux and Android, it's great
