I don't think it helps to characterise this as a simple textual bulletin log.

I am by no means an expert, however to me this system appears to include: a globally agreed upon data format, a transmission protocol hardware distributed across the planet in ground stations and air vehicles, and 70 years of legacy.

And all of that is enshrined in legislation across many countries.

And while there is a modernisation effort in progress, the nature of this system means that things will move slowly.

In 2023 anyone can suggest a better data format and distribution system if they start from scratch. Good luck getting the world to use it and good luck getting anyone to care.

It would likely depend on the purpose and scope of the offering:

In terms of the GDPR, your company would need to satisfy compliance of the GDPR. For small companies this is pretty straight forward, and it definitely helps to think about this early.

The consensus from folks in my circle is that the quality of Made products has dropped off entirely. The timber has visible machining marks, joins are not square, product finishes differ a lot from the photos.

I can imagine that during their boom period they flogged a lot of production orders off to cheap factories to meet demand.

I wonder if they have taken a reputation hit and customers are moving off their products, and not so much a cost of living adjustment that is impacting their sales. I suspect that their customers tend towards higher income brackets and are not as impacted by cost of living rises.

It sounds to me like management is refusing to take responsibility for the situation, but at the end of the day they should not have taken on orders that they could not fulfill to a high standard of quality.

Not sure what you are trying to say with your quoted phrases.

There was an issue with the standard for the Kilogram, which was recognised then corrected by introducing a definition which is based on physically measurable phenomenon. The new approach allows independent experiments to derive the value of the Kilogram.

That seems to me like a process that works, and I struggle to think of a better outcome.

I'm not sure I completely follow, aren't tabs still within the same window? How would tabs solve the 'keeping everything inside a single window' problem?

Is the conversation list on the left side of the window not analogous to tabs? A conversation can be pinned there which would be providing the same experience as keeping a conversation open in a tab.

Right, great example. I think 'understand the situation' refers to this. I imagine the Rust for Linux developers would be going through any dependencies they pull in with a fine comb, in this case a dependency that pulls in HTTPS libraries for presumably no reason should be rejected. If that particular dependency makes it into the kernel, well, then you can start complaining about it. But right now feels a bit premature.

There are more than just ICE and IC trains in Germany. These other trains are not powered by green energy. So yes it seems reasonable that there are some coal power plants that are providing power for trains.

I think is true for single detached housing, is it also true for larger apartment complexes? I bring this up because in Germany I believe most of the population does not live in detached housing or semi-detached housing.

With larger apartment complexes it may be economically feasible to pursue geothermal heat. In this case a more efficient solution could be a heating arrangement using hydronic heating combining geothermal heat, waste heat, topped off with an efficient large-scale boiler (the apartments need hot water anyway), and then pumped into radiators or underfloor heating.

And naturally the most efficient solution of all could be district heating.

You could argue that there are some crates in the Rust ecosystem that suffer from a deep dependency tree, I don't think you can argue that Rust developers are trying to do this for the kernel.

The article states:

> The Rust-for-Linux developers understand this situation and are not envisioning adding the ability to pull in modules with a tool like Cargo

In Germany 100% of the ICE and IC trains are run on renewable energy.

You can even buy green energy from the Deutsche Bahn

As long as the data is deleted within a month there should not be any GDPR concerns.

> The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay

> “Undue delay” is considered to be about a month

That seems like an uncharitable take. It is entirely possible to re-sell a modern phone, and this happens quite often. Before selling the previous owner must sign out of the device's cloud account and perform a factory reset.

Differentiating between the intentional re-selling of the device, and the selling of a stolen device does seem like a tricky problem, and personally I think this solution seems reasonable. If the device manufacturers are at fault of something it would be poor UX for not making this more clear, otherwise I believe these companies are acting honestly here.

I think you are spot on, but maybe for a different reason. The EU has looked at the practices of large tech companies in the USA and decided that the way that these companies are collecting personal information and selling it for profit is something that should be progressively phased out. So not being able to create a company that harvests personal data seems like a win for the GDPR. The next step would be to reign in the large companies that have been able to use their resources to continue the practices that the GDPR has set out to limit.

As a side point, I work in a tech startup in the EU that was founded post GDPR. We have no issues being competitive and also complying with the GDPR, however we do not make our revenue by selling personal data.
