The system of ANPR (Automated Number Plate Recognition) is also used in Belgium. But the maximum retention period for ANPR data is 30 days. Storing this data for an unlimited period is illegal by Belgian law. "Bewaartermijn Indien de opgenomen beelden geen bijdrage kunnen leveren tot het bewijzen van een misdrijf, schade, overlast of tot het identificeren van een dader, een verstoorder van de openbare orde, een getuige of een slachtoffer, dan mogen deze maximaal 30 dagen bewaard worden (De Schepper, 2014). Wanneer de beelden wel bijdrage leveren in voornoemde gevallen, dan mogen deze langer bewaard worden en dienen ze neergelegd te worden ter griffie. In dit geval gelden de termijnen van het verval van de strafvordering. De beelden hebben dezelfde bewijswaarde als een getuigenverklaring (De Paepe et al., 2012)."

Article 23 enables Member States to introduce derogations to the GDPR in certain situations.

Member States can introduce exemptions from the GDPR’s transparency obligations and individual rights, but only where the restriction respects the essence of the individual’s fundamental rights and freedoms and is a necessary and proportionate measure in a democratic society to safeguard.

After further investigation it seems you are right though that exclusions can be introduced for: * national security; * defence; * public security; * the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences; * other important public interests, in particular economic or financial interests, including budgetary and taxation matters, public health and security; * the protection of judicial independence and proceedings; breaches of ethics in regulated professions; * monitoring, inspection or regulatory functions connected to the exercise of official authority regarding security, defence, other important public interests or crime/ethics prevention; * the protection of the individual, or the rights and freedoms of others; or the enforcement of civil law matters.

STTR is a system designed to track all of the vehicles all of the time, and store their trajectories for ever.

Sounds like it's illegal in Europe due to the GDPR.

Re:Checkpoint and restore Docker containers with CRIU on Tuesday September 22, 2015 @07:18AM (#10257853)
* Docker fork with CRIU support Known Issues:

Currently, networking is broken in this PR.

Although it's implemented at the libcontainer level, the method used no longer works since the introduction of libnetwork.

There are likely several networking related issues to work out, like:

- ensuring IPs are reserved across daemon restarts

- ensuring port maps are reserved

- deciding how to deal with network resources in the "new container" model

but of course if you really want faster compiles, just run linux and install your workspace in an ext4 filesystem on an ssd.

If you want IntelliJ on windows to be fast:

* change the default launcher to use the idea64.exe instead of idea.exe

* increase the default vm allocation in bin/idea64.vmoptions

-Xms668m -Xmx1692m -XX:MaxPermSize=412m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=246m

* disable the "SuperFetch" service of windows 8 and reboot

Re:Litecoin [LTC] X11 hardfork at block 564,480 on Sunday March 30, 2014 @10:47AM (#7496274)
so this hardforks into a new currency and you can still sell LTC on an exchange which still supports it. Sounds like built in double spent.
