Managers hired a consulting firm to get a report about why they couldn't hire : The report confirmed they couldn't get application because they overpaid engineers and their job ads were too generous.

Sometimes, you just have to use any broken maths to give the only thing that managers want to hear.

They are only "enabling Web Analytics by default" "by providing a powerful, in-depth monitoring solution that helps you debug and optimize applications" when users do not come from the EU

Cloudflare is doing a great job most of the time, but I feel like this feature was speed run through approvals and could use more discussions

They do a much better job these days, at least

They don't store IP addresses (but other referral ids that identify users in a different way) ; and they exclude EU visitors by default.

You do your opinion

GDPR service providers and partners do not have to consent. Consent is for the users.

Services providers have to tell you when they collect your data, and they will most likely fail to do that if they don't even know their partner injects code.

*So you're liable if you host on cloudflare.*

Now, they somehow avoid this :

>when enabling Web Analytics, you can choose to drop requests from European and UK visitors if you so desire (listed here specifically), meaning we will not collect any RUM metrics from traffic that passes through our European and UK data centers. The version of Web Analytics that will be enabled by default excludes data from EU visitors (this can be changed in the dashboard if you want).

By default, it is only enabled for visitors from out of the EU, like so many services that respect your privacy and your concerns are their first priority

IT security is a lot more about the processes, risk, and data management that technical performance these days.

The book to study for CISSP CBK is hardly any technical (The Code Book is more technical than that)

The ISO 27000 series defines an Information security management system that doesn't even need to involve "computer", as it discusses more about data in the organization.

Research these days is also based a lot on how to address security risks on top of safety risks, not just how to hack any system (and I do believe that the obsession of the aviation industry about these studies is why everything was ready so that suspects were met with police)

Police was involved

No offense, but I doubt that most other public spaces or transport would have reacted like that.

It's not just because planes fly, but the industry around them has planned for everything.

This Hacker News post could be "Delta is ready"

They mention it only briefly in their publication. Their about page is clearer about that.

I hope that China makes up for the capacity that RAM producers are not willing to produce, so that the latter are sent back to the past (with no bailout nor protectionism)

I don't see how forcing people to you scan their IDs and turn their camera one is better for privacy.

The only explanation is THEY WATCH, literately

UN had been arguably irrelevant for a few decades. France had been irrelevant since it's been absorbed by the EU and they're just posting takes. This has been best described on an Economist article featured here a few months ago https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/02/18/that-irritating-...

But now, one of their takes made the news https://x.com/FranceONUGeneve/status/2081064968586232263

It happened as US diplomats at the UN felt so insecure and were so inexperienced that they not only took the bait, but made a CSPAN13 hearing hilarious and viral

Why are American diplomats unwilling to publicly acknowledge that Trump has a different foreign policy than Biden and Harris ? It just make them look like they don't have any coherence.

And since when have they been acknowledging and giving credit to what France says ? They're supposed to fly above it and talk to the EU

This is ridiculous. China is getting ahead by just being consistent when they're saying they don't care about Ukraine, they just want Taiwan. Ukraine proved that Europe will not have the will to do anything in Asia.

In the meantime, Trump made NATO relevant again after silently quitting it and abandoning Europe, yet their diplomats make scenes and feel threatened by France's opinions as they can't assume their own policies

What a world we are living in

One of which is self indications (even of things that cops didn't know about or couldn't prove) that would allow them to just question anyone into admitting even a parking offense, but I guess you can shut up indeed

I was worried that they could use any crime in a broad area and just force everyone to say with who they were and what they were doing, but you can also shut up

I was also worried than on investigations with no real crime involved, they could just go play jeopardy and ask you what you were doing minute by minute, and get you to talk until something gets inaccurate (while they have cctv but you have no vcr in your brain). But again, you can shut up.

When I'll be in America, I'll remember not to talk to cops.

Not even to 911 as emergency calls are error prone : You said someone was attacked by a suv and knife when it was a pickup truck and machete, you go to jail

Now having a corporate device with little data is no longer outstanding. Everything is in the cloud these days.

As for personal devices, you can explain you're taking a dumb cheap laptop for your holiday as you're working on a desktop PC at home. You're not taking your entire house when you're on a trip, just a laptop to check tourism information and post blog posts

I myself bought a crap laptop on ebay to shove it in bags and backpacks and go to conferences and not be sad the day it's broken.

but above all, he's a citizen so shouldn't care about looking "suspect". He has a right, not a privilege, to cross that border. They can explain a judge how he looked sus if they really want to search his home.

the most authoritarian places in the world wouldn't charge defendants for "lying"

These are a current necessities, but nothing to sanctuarize for the future. The only thing that should remain stable in Europe are ideas, and the Swiss got it better on their notes

Privatize revenues, socialize costs of business

You're not "competitive" if you have to pay for workers, ink or investments. Workers only get a wage because of communist populists who don't understand business, and (insert place - even the Philippines these days) has the most highest taxes and wages around the world.

If your smart switches support it (Tuya/Lidl gateways doesn't, so there is still work to do), you can get some cashback when they momentarily turn some devices on or off to help offset imbalances on the power grid without relying on gas turbines.

Software is allowing governments to provide services online, 24/7, making driving to their overly large buildings a thing of the past.

Software is changing the way companies work with their customers and suppliers. It cut business trips so much that airlines like United had to review their routes at some point.

Software allows more trains to run on each track, and improves cross border services in dense areas in Europe

Software developers who support open source initiative such as LineageOS, ChromeOS or lightweight Linux distributions allow to keep devices for longer. It is valuable when manufacturers and Microsoft would like you to buy new hardware.

YouTube tutorials and online marketplaces allow customers to fix their old stuff or to buy second hands. It makes the economy more circular than it used to

Simulators allow new generations to fly cessnas or race cars on 1000 electrical watts at home, while video games allow kids to have fun together without racing cars on open roads like you used to
