And they don't think they're doing anything wrong. Carbon dioxide fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Jan 19, 2019 |

Just remember that apparently, at Google you get promoted for "inventing and launching something new", and you get no reward for bugfixing and improving the user experience. So every employee is launching their own little pet projects and that's how you get 3000 different Google chat apps.

Salt Fish posted:DNA has 4 amino acids as it's alphabet, how do you encode an escape sequence? Like what the heck kind of processing is that lovely? DNA has 4 different kinds of BASES as it's alphabet, with one more existing only in RNA. These encode 20 different kinds of amino acids in most life forms (some weird ones have one or two unusual additional amino acids). Pls read up on your biology before you start DNA hacking.

ymgve posted:he's probably not even doing anything prosecuteable, just downloading Actually one of the uses of my VPN is to visit American news sites that have started to block me because they don't agree with EU privacy laws. If you can tell me how I can access those without a VPN please let me know. Like, half of the news links that're posted here on SA are unavailable to me without use of a VPN, and I like to keep informed. Another important one is to give the ad companies - even if they managed to get through my tracking blocker - a harder time. I know the effect is minimal but every bit is better than nothing.

Doom Mathematic posted:Is it NPR where they say "Sorry, due to EU privacy laws you can't view our regular site" and then... offer you a link to the same article on their text-only site instead, which loads instantaneously and has no content on it other than the text of the article and is a hundred times better than any other current news site? Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:i'm glad you're happy with your threat model, but understand that it isn't everyone else's threat model. On the other hand, Lain Iwakura just posting a couple times "VPN services are trash don't use them" without any sort of context isn't helpful to that thread at all and has only raised more questions. I would appreciate it if you or anyone else who can explain it well would make a seriouspost in that thread explaining WHY they are bad for many usecases. mystes posted:If you're just trying to get around sites that block European IPs because of GPRD or trying to protect your data over public wifi hotspots, you're probably better off just using algo to setup your own VPN on a VM on digitalocean or something. Hmm, that's an idea worth considering.

They just said on the radio that the EU passed a law that says that third party companies are allowed to ask a bank account holder for permission to get access to their bank data, and in that case the bank must provide this data. This includes all money transfers and card payment information (date, time, amount, company you paid to). It is supposed to help out startups that offer online personal finance management apps. And they supposedly have all kinds of checks in place where companies using the bank data get regularly audited and stuff. I can't see any way this could possibly go wrong...

Several password managers leave traces of their master password or individually accessed passwords in the Windows 10 memory, sometimes even after they've been locked. Someone with access to the computer could potentially extract those passwords from memory. https://www.securityevaluators.com/casestudies/password-manager-hacking/  Dashlane and Keepass seem to be doing relatively well on this test. Note: this is a rather esoteric way of attack and is not at all a reason to not use password managers. If someone installs a keylogger to your computer they can get access whether you have a password manager or not. Carbon dioxide fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Feb 19, 2019 |

When I was in high school in the 00s (in Europe) I got detention for bypassing the chat-blocking software and connecting to a chat server. I asked the teacher why playing games on the school computers was ok (as long as nobody needed them for doing assignments) but chatting was not. "Because internet chats is where you meet rapists and if you do that at home that's fine but the school doesn't want to be responsible for this."

The interesting thing is that if you read a text in a language like German or Dutch written in Shakespearean times, it's incredibly difficult to make sense of. It could as well be a completely different language. I read some Dutch historical texts and modern publications always come with both the original and a modern Dutch translation. However, if you read Shakespeare, you don't really need any translation. Although the way of speaking has changed, the words are mostly the same. As far as I know, this is because most languages, such as Dutch, updated their spelling as their pronunciation changed. English is the exception: it mostly kept the ancient spelling but the pronunciation changed, making the written and spoken language move away from each other further and further.

RichardA posted:Fairly sure Carbon dioxide meant that ~400 year old Dutch/German is far harder to read for a modern Dutch/German reader than it is for a modern English reader to read ~400 year old English. Exactly. The difference BETWEEN English and Dutch has nothing to do with it.
