The permanent members of the UN security council are basically the victors of WW2. They granted themselves the power.
Further, it's worth looking at how the actual execution of data privacy laws in the EU has worked. Legal frameworks like the Data Protection Framework, and "Privacy Shield" have allowed US companies to tick boxes and legally move data to the US, but are repeatedly shown to be inadequate when challenged in court. Each time, a new, nearly-identical framework is created, and the practice continues.C.f. https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/11/eu_us_data_pipeline/
The problem is that, unless the company in control of that data has no exposure to US law, it doesn't actually matter where the data is stored. There is historical precedent for this. Companies will fight the US gov in US court to challenge its right to obtain data stored abroad by foreign arms of the same company, and they will lose.
The whole point of what Mr Carniaux was having to answer to here is that yes, data privacy laws say certain things, but the fact that Microsoft has so much invested in the US means that the US government can simply apply various forms of pressure to Microsoft -- fines, audits, permit refusals, investigations, even arrests and criminal charges -- in their own jurisdiction until Microsoft do what they want. Ultimately their only other option is to shut down operations in the US.
This is true for every company that provides online services (including OS/software updates). Your data is subject to the command of every oppressive regime they're not prepared to withdraw from rather than comply with.
macOS is not Linux-based. macOS is based on the Darwin operating system which uses the XNU kernel.
It might be worth looking into whether you can get OpenReach to hook up new fibre that more general ISPs can use. You might need to get support and buy-in from some more of your neighbours, though. Take a look at e.g.: https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband/fibre-community-partnership
Hm, do you live in a very rural area, or on an island or something similar? I'm surprised you're in a situation where that would be one of your best options.
Yeah, Virgin Media are an awful company with user-hostile practises across the board, and I'd really suggest double-checking your options. Once they even deliberately severed my existing BT phone line so it would cost more to stop using them.
This was popular contemporary vernacular for "kraetsi", an ancient form of "crazy", the letter "z" having not yet been invented.
And a tenth of that at the time in equivalent dollars or pounds, since Euros didn't yet exist. Man, gold prices went kind of nuts in the last 20 years.
Didn't the rest flee the state for exactly the same reason?
#30 F1-17 is a good start, but the USB HID standard provides for up to F24 and I want them all on my keyboard. #4 might be a bit far, though.
Invisible con-non-con is almost certainly someone's kink.
Don't forget the evacuation of all new Russian settlements established within Ukrainian territory during the war.
On the one hand, that's like a $600 bowl. On the other hand, it's also a really nice bowl.

Here's the thing: people can train machine learning systems to attempt to distinguish between vast training sets of of generated vs non-generated images, but in the end there's no conceptual framework by which such a distinction could be made. It would be possible to detect for individual models if you have the model, but there is no distinct, discernable quality that would let any system determine whether an image has been generated by *any* model.
And none of them will work.
The first class people waited in comfort, though. And probably got complementary champagne.
I'd never heard of it, but apparently this policy is legal in India, where the person who originally posted it is from. Saying that it's "to ensure fair leave management" is horseshit: it simply serves to punish employees who go on leave around holidays, to discourage it.
Life gave us pomelos, and they were awful but full of potential to become other things.
While I understand where you're coming from on that second point, in an ideal system, I think people should probably be able to become politicians without having to dump everything they own. That could heavily punish people who don't want to be politicians for their whole career, which contributes to a political echo chamber effect. Instead, having very public mandatory registers of interests and *absolutely* mandatory recusal from votes on relevant matters might be a healthier way to handle it.
Billionaire dollars should not be used to buy politicians.
"According to preliminary information, the cause of the fire is not related to a UAV attack. No alarm has been sounded regarding the threat of unmanned aerial vehicles in the region." -- from the linked article
It's actually a painting by a Japanese artist, not an automatic print process. There is a site called Snapspheres that makes something similar, but they're a little expensive.
The easy way to make this happen at a platform level is to let users opt to subscribe to another user's blocked-users list. It can be very difficult to recover from an accidental or vindictive block with those, though.
They could make the marines do it in dress uniform.
