According to an help article by Apple [1], if you activate wifi or bluetooth during airplane mode, it will remember that and not disable those when you use airplane mode again.
I was also surprised reading your comment as for my phone wifi and bluetooth stay on during airplane mode. I must've activated them once and then it just stayed like that ever since.
So I prefer to shorten the definition to "A prime of the form 2ⁿ-1". It’s bloody useful that n has to be prime though: makes searching that much faster.
I’m interested in the structure it created - is that it in the hero image? The article needs to highlight it more! There should be at least a paragraph with a figure of this 75% structure petal looking thing that an Arabian horse could crush.
Apparently using the mars orbiter as a relay they can get up to 30Mbps. I couldn't find out what the transmission rate for lander -> orbiter is though. However lander direct to earth is in the Kbps on a good day.
> “I don’t want to oversimplify it, but how are you going to fly one [spaceship]? You got to have somebody in it. That seems to be pretty simple,” Burchett said.
“Simple” is not the word I’d use to describe this conclusion.
Sucks when there are false positives but I am glad there are efforts to reduce the likelihood a human has to watch and flag a video that could be “revenge porn”. Plenty of threads on the lasting affects of exposure to this type of content on moderators. (for example here’s a HN thread on a Facebook content moderator’s resignation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26819883)
Seems like additional signals should play into a confidence score though: how new is your account, what content is your account viewing, etc.
The article provides no detail on new privacy risk, yet it is the title of the piece… is there some new vector? I agree with your sentiment that it’s not like Microsoft just gained access to some entirely new portfolio of information about you, they already have access to the superset of this data since they own Xbox (PlayStation provides a million data points on the amount of time, progress, and trophies I earn in games that are not owned by Sony - i assume the same for Xbox?)
Fine if you want to postulate as to what these privacy risks are but wtf, the article provides no detail whatsoever here lol.
The default settings for Google Analytics are not GDPR compliant. But changing these settings affects collection for all of your GA traffic. I'm curious what most people do here... the way it's presented it feels like you have to nerf GA so that it's compliant in the EU, but then it's nerfed for all traffic. Do you manage multiple accounts: 1 for EU 1 for the rest?
> If you use Google Analytics, you process personal data of your website visitors with the analytical cookies. That has consequences for their privacy. In principle, you must comply with both the Telecommunications Act (informing your visitors and asking for permission) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
> Note: use of Google Analytics may soon not be allowed
> The Austrian privacy regulator completed an investigation into the use of Google Analytics by an Austrian website in January 2022. According to the Austrian supervisory authority, Google Analytics does not comply with the GDPR in this investigated case.
> The AP is currently investigating two complaints about the use of Google Analytics in the Netherlands. After completing that investigation, in early 2022, the AP will be able to say whether Google Analytics is now allowed or not.
Same problem with Facebook login and many other commonly used libs. The default setup is always set to be as permissive as possible.
At some point we need to understand this is deliberate and fine the companies for not having GDPR complaint products (in default configuration)
Edit: to answer your question, a British privacy organisation tested this on mobile apps and found that almost all were using third party components with default configuration that would phone home.
This is btw why I closed my Spotify account. Not sure if they have fixed it now but back then it contacted Facebook regularly despite me not using Facebook login and turning off all analytics. Researcher found that this was due to premissive defaults.
Now if Spotify can't get it right, I don't think your average startup can either. Hence the problem should be fixed at the root.
