"If we want to have better control over our privacy we're not going to do it through demanding better privacy policies, or confusing data protection laws. We need to create the incentives to put the actual control of the data back into the hands of the users. And that doesn't just mean a right to download your info. It means that you have full control over your data and get to control what apps and services can access it and for what reasons. That's not the world we have today, and nothing in the GDPR gets us any closer to it."
The GDPR absolutely gets us closer to that. The main objective of GPDR is to put control over data in the hands of the consumer, instead of the companies.
I'm sorry, Mike, but you have completely missed the mark on GPDR, and I say that as a European citizen and consumer.
The techs who faked the results should probably be made personally responsible for any false convictions. Make them pay for any lost income or other damages the defendants has suffered.
The Gutters did a blog post on this story before I read it here, and they had a completely different angle to it.
If there was a small statue erected of a little boy with a Superman outfit on, most people who saw it would think “look at that statue of Superboy.” That doesn’t pay tribute to Jeffrey. That makes the story about something it’s not and for that reason alone, I can understand the decision that was made by DC Entertainment.
Even the artist and the gentleman who commissioned the statue, Ottawa resident Todd Boyce, seem to understand this, commenting “To be fair to DC, I don’t think they wanted to say no. I think they gave it serious thought.”
But what I see all over the internet, especially in the comics “media,” are stories and click-bait headlines that vilify DC with only a paragraph’s mention of Jeffrey.
If we follow the US' example, this is perfectly reasonable. Given that the US thinks its laws are valid world wide, it comes to reason that all of the worlds laws are valid in the US. Anything else is hypocritical, right?
By that reasoning, Quinn has probably broken a criminal law _somewhere_, and given how the US is the first to demand extradition, I take it he will be put on the first plane to Switzerland by US officials? No?
I'm not so sure this has much to do with net neutrality at all. A, few sites are reporting on the Google-Orange deal as a regular peering agreement, where Google pays for a direct connection to the Orange networks. Unless the contract says anything about QOS for Google traffic, this isn't really anything about net neut.
If doctors did cure all diseases, there'd be no need for doctors anymore.
That's not completely true. As long as people stay stupid or clumsy, there will always be a need for doctors. People hurt themselves all the time, and we need doctors to put them back together.
I did look it up and found nothing. Tried image search, patent search and text search. Funnily enough, patent search had *one* hit, and it was this article.
I would say this *is* unprecedented levels of transparency.
You actually have a leaked copy of a draft. That's a lot more than you usually get. Normally, you don't hear about treaties like this until they're made into law.

I think that's a fair point.

This way, Netflix subscribers that use Comcast will stream from a server at Comcast, where it doesn't use any upstream data.

I don't think "socialistic" means what you think it means.
Not sure about this article

Strangely enough, the video works perfectly from Norway, as have previous Daily Show-videos.
