So, the ECB has opened this survey to get an idea if people would like to see birds on the next set of Euro bank notes.

Okay. My phrasing might be a bit leading as there are other topics they present as options to thumb down before they ask about the birds (like European virtues and culture expressed as hands). But really, in the end... they just want your OK to put birds on bank notes.
If you have some time for this: lend them a hand!
Tipp Nr.16: Alle Netzbetreiber in Deutschland sammeln und analysieren Bewegungs-, Verkehrs- oder GEO-Daten über die Bewegungen ihrer Kunden. Zu Marketingzwecken verkaufen Telefónica und die Telekom die (Kunden-)Daten in »anonymisierter« Form an Drittunternehmen weiter. Zu diesen Daten zählen unter anderem Alter, Aufenthaltsort und Geschlecht der Kunden. Dem kann widersprochen werden.

We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture capable of creating secure devices
This place is not a place of cryptographic security
No keys are secure here
The method of compromise here was honestly absolutely batshit
This disclosure is a warning about holy fuck did you see what they did
The danger is in a particular location by the power LED
… it increases towards the center of the CPU
… the center of the danger is in the cryptographic libraries
Das geplante Gesetz gegen digitale Gewalt handelt von weit mehr als digitaler Gewalt. Justizminister Marco Buschmann will umfassend Auskunftsansprüche ausweiten: auf Urheberrechtsverletzungen, Messenger und private Inhalte. Die Messenger Threema und Signal kritisieren das geplante Gesetz.
This post is part of a series looking at little details of programming language design, mostly in the context of Carbon. Check out the series intro post for context and other entries. Let’s talk about public vs. private! Folks who know C++ may be familiar with these concepts, but here is a quick example: class MyType { public: void MyPublicFunction(); private: void InternalDetail(); }; One of the things that has always been frustrating to me are exactly how public and private work here.
I've been viscerally opposed to regulating technology except the the most rare of circumstances.
That was before our new masters of the universe turned us into the subjects of black-box science experiments at accelerating speeds -- and fired the people who think about the ethics of it all.
This is unacceptable, and if the public doesn't wake up, a few mega-wealthy and powerful people could ruin everything for everyone but (temporarily) themselves.
