Yes, it's been part of the regulations in the EU, even before GDPR. Being forced to disclose in a timely manner ensures it can't be swept under the rug because they squint at the logs just right.


The QA team got folded into the main org a while ago. I'd be surprised if the person today in charge of the full test coverage has anywhere near the resources or weight to make an impact.


If your password is leaked, then you can still reset it. If your fingerprint signature leaks, you're out of options.


Burn your fingers!


This may be an urban legend, but I've heard there was once a bank robber who dipped his fingertips in acid. After a few months, his fingers healed, and the prints were exactly the same as before.


HANA in memory database that can serve both OLTP and OLAP workloads with sub second response times. The cost of the server is dwarfed by the licence cost.


It may be a GDPR violation (insufficient consent), we'll need a ruling to be certain. It may also be an antitrust violation (chrome is close to 60% market share in the EU).


To make this worse, in all likelihood the scalper was fake and it was not sold out. Ticketmaster will routinely pretend a venue is sold out when it's not and they're not shy of impersonating a third party either.


You should, because anyone that can compromise your phone will be able to get into your email.

From there it's a small step to reset passwords (SMS 2FA won't help here, as they also have your phone) to all online services you signed up for with that email.


Yes, but you need to weigh that risk against the risk of not having 2FA.

Taking a step back, and responding to the other comment in response to mine as well, I was just speculating. I don't work in abuse, and I'm inclined to trust the Google abuse engineers over myself or random HN commentators to keep my Google account safe.


The cynic in me thinks this is in anticipation of GDPR related challenges. Users that accepted a TOS are easier to track (at least, it's easier to mount a legal argument that some tracking and profile linking is ok) compared to users that never accepted anything at all.

next up: push for new standards that favor chrome over other browsers.


The gdpr agreement form on websites usually requires you to enable 3rd party scripts and cookies otherwise you get hit with endless popups about it. Someone should make a browser extension that automatically denies every gdpr popup.

This one aims to automatically close all such popups. It doesn't "deny" permissions, but that's what content blockers such as uMatrix are for.


That would make some key stakeholders (in the military and govt) quite unhappy, leading to difficulties staying in control, leading to prison or worse for the top. It's gotten to the point that they need to cling to power.


People are complaining about price controls being relaxed (a bit) on fuel, too. Look at this[1]:

> Mr. Maduro hasn’t specified when gasoline prices may start rising. Some of his detractors have started to call his plan a “neoliberal” austerity package that undermines the socialist ideology long espoused by his ruling party.

I'm not sure the people would stand for what's needed to fix the problem -- they know they don't want the country in the destroyed state it's in, but I'm not sure they're all on the same page on what's needed to fix it aside from "less corruption please".

For the suggestions in the top-level comments that might just apply to subsidies, though. I'm sure allowing imports, exports (and international aid...) would be broadly popular.

It got to that point years ago.


For the same reasons the european powers were unable to prevent IP theft by the US earlier in history - not enough reach and power.


For the same reasons that the Chinese were unable to prevent IP theft by the Europeans earlier in history - not enough reach and power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Great_Inventions

(Silk can be added to the the list, after all it was called the 'Silk Road' for good reason. The Four Great Inventions were helpful for the development of European states and the bureaucracy required.)


Well, my grandgrandfather always told that those were worst Chinese inventions:

With gunpowder, came standing armies made of conscripts.

With paper, came institutionalized bureaucracy.

With money, came central banks effectively taxing every user of paper currency by printing more of it.

A modern state was made by them: conscript armies, professional bureaucrats, and central bankers

It were firearms that made "a lot of farmers with guns" a more effective fighting force than an army of professionals trained from childhood.

The "manufacturing rate" of professional bureaucracy was greatly limited by amount of gifted and trusted cadres, it was much of a matter of talent, and personality. The power of state greatly increased by eliminating the "broken phone" factor with written edicts, and allowing to hire and train less select people for bureaucratic work.

And for money, metal coin money was quite expensive to made, and it could've been smelted to make real goods - a thing of value, unlike fiat currency


A cute story, except that it's not historically accurate; conscript armies are extremely old, bureaucracy can be dated to the clay tablet era, early Chinese money was made of metal ("knife money" etc) and the history of inflationary paper disasters is usually traced to the assignats of France.


Yes, want I wanted to state that it was paper that dramatically increased scale and efficiency of bureaucratic systems, allowing it to keep taps on incomparably larger number of things. It it possible for transition from hereditary class-ecclesiastic administration to professional bureaucracy.

No longer ruling the country was about a king or a man just one handshake away him touring the country and issuing edicts every few months.


historians also sort of seem to agree that the need for a bureacracy started to exist after the argicultural revolution, which resulted in humans setteling on permanent patches of land.


In fact half of Hammurabi's laws are about land use.


Maybe you took my mention of the word 'bureaucracy' without reading the implied sarcasm, my point still stands though, the Chinese were the first to have their IP stolen. Although I am sure that, as of now, there is a little bit of give and take, not that I am proficient enough in vue.js to really know.
