Sorry, but poor excuse for racism is poor and wrong.

Europe has far more tourism, especially to developing countries and does not have the same issue. This has also been going on for decades so if it were those evil foreigners, why is it only now just becoming a problem.

The answer is, it isn't the foreigners. The cause is the large anti-science and anti-vaccination movements that have sprung up in the last 20-30 years and have become particularly popular in the last 10. If we drew a Venn diagram of anti-vaxxers and racists we'd also find a lot of overlap.

"Free" clinics... What are you, some kind of Columnunist like those dang people over in You-Rope?

Poor people should die without medical care because they cant afford it... That's Freedom Fries health care. None of that caring about people, helping the sick or poor... That ain't in the bible.

If we don't stop this kind of thing now the next thing you'll they'll start demanding European style happiness.

I can't see what the difference is, other than that these guys managed to do it over a 10m long optical fibre, and the Chinese scientists did it from Earth to a satellite in orbit.

Maybe. I'm not sure what they are supposed to show. Some titles would be helpful.

(Ironically applies well to Joss Whedon himself. Kind of wonder if one of the show writers was thinking about Joss when they wrote that...)

The only single-source point of failure is me.

Couldn't find a link to these videos anywhere in TFA. Anyone got them?

My understanding is that their dodgy software notices things like "abnormal" eye movements and accuses the student of cheating.

China is like the EU - perpetually on the verge of collapse, if you believe the "experts".

They do this not to hide bad numbers, to be prevent the kind of thing you see happening on Wall Street all the time. They don't want a huge speculative gambling market, they don't want people betting against their economy, and they don't want people making short term decisions based on quarterly data.

If the $ sign didn't give you away, the assumption that the law works like that did. The UK is not the US, the law doesn't allow you to get around the wording like that. Courts generally interpret the intention of the law, and look for ways for it to practically implement that intention.

Such obvious fraud would be, well, fraud.

If GDPR had been properly enforced, the current style of cookie banners should have been blocked from the start.

Recital 32 states that consent cannot be forced or coerced. Putting up a big banner that obscures half the page is coercion. Making it more clicks to opt out than to accept is coercion, and what's more GDPR clearly says that everything must be opt in, not out.

It was probably marketed as a feature when they bought the busses. "Remote monitoring and diagnostics", to help warn of any maintenance issues that may arise soon, so you can plan for the bus to be off the road for a while. GPS tacking so you know where you fleet is and can show expected arrival times at bus stops.

Presumably some European bus manufacturer saw that it was being out-competed, and started spreading a bit of FUD.

It depends who you are. If you are the government, then obviously you don't consider yourself much of a threat, so the biggest risk is other nations accessing your vehicles.

If you are a citizen, the biggest threat is your own government. The Chinese government likely has little to no interest in you, but your own government certainly does.

Apple's usual problem with FRAND patents is that it's own patent portfolio is largely worthless. Nobody is going to exchange a valuable WiFi patent for a design patent on rounded corners. Apple could just pay the licencing fees, but doesn't like to.

It's not just Broadcom they have to licence from either. A lot of the WiFi 6 and 7 stuff was invented by Huawei. Apple's cellular modems require paying Huawei too.

That would be a rather extreme reaction. Would be much easier and more profitable to simply respond to requests to discontinue service to sites offering pirate manga.

The real issue here is that it was a request from a private company, not a court. The law in Japan is such that if you are made aware of something like this, there is an onus on you to look into it and decide what to do, and face the consequences if you disagree with the request. It's similar to many countries. A copyright arbitration court would be a good idea.

Electric trucks and other commercial vehicles have another big advantage over fossil - you can use them indoors with no risk of gassing everyone to death. Drive them right into the warehouse, or the mine. Do your loading and unloading in a covered, heated environment.

No issues with running refrigeration and other electrical items like lifts either, because you have a massive battery and can plug it in to charge if needed.
