@robbo277@peeceeuk@10DowningStreet Yup, as far as I've been able to make out, the plan (much like other bits of Brexit) seems to be to wait for it to go wrong and then tell the population how *mean* the EU are being, by demanding we not survei... protect the population en masse.
That's assuming there *is* a plan
@robbo277@peeceeuk@10DowningStreet Nope, there's more than the DPA required.
As a member state, we use a National Security exemption to excuse away nasty things like the bulk powers in the Investigatory Powers Act. When we're no longer a member we won't be allowed to do that (if we want equivalency anyway)
@kaepora Just put N/A
I've never understood why people feel the need to ask any of that. Particularly when they're aware enough to make "Prefer not to disclose" an option, but not aware enough to question whether they should bother asking at all.
@kaepora Kindle is actually a prime (heh) example of how it can go wrong. They deleted (of all things) Orwell's 1984 from people's Kindles when the licensing fell through. Apple has had some recent examples too.
Streaming is convenient, but IMO is a poor choice in the long term.
@slpng_giants Are you suggesting Fox News pay a performance related bonus with Xenophobia as one of the goals at appraisal?
Seems entirely plausible, based on observation
@grumpiergrump@davidyelland Because you're reading the wrong papers my friend. There are plenty of women and children, and plenty of pics of them, unless you happen to be existing within a bubble that seems determined to make people think they're all fighting age men.
Here's a link https://www.google.com/search?q=syrian+immigrants&tbm=isch
@ElJefeDSecurIT I've got the background he's talking about, but you know what?
His head is so far up his behind he's probably not seeing the IDS alerts.
Some of the best I've known wouldn't meet his standard and would probably still run rings around him.
@Sam48107115@trev_henry@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP Like I say, I don't think May's deal is deliberately bad, it's just the best she could manage. Whether that's down to her or Brexit, up to you.
It should always have been the position that wed vote on the deal, even if that deal was the EU will pay us £b to trade with us.
@Sam48107115@trev_henry@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP Except an increasing number of MPs seem to be supporting Peoples Vote. If it reaches a tipping point (which, it may never) then it could very well be a consideration. Hell, if that wasn't true, there wouldn't be so many of you Brexiters arguing against it ;)
@Sam48107115@trev_henry@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP Except it's not, is it. Other options can be put forward, including a Peoples Vote.
Whether it'd get Parliament's support is an entirely different thing, but it's quite undemocratic to say it shouldn't be put before Parliament in the first place
@Sam48107115@trev_henry@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP Some Brexiters did, some even claimed it'd be easy. But, agreed, her deal is not going to get past Parliament. She's actually managed to unite Leave and Remain (in a weird way) against her deal.
No deal isn't the only other option on the table, all other options remain open
@Sam48107115@trev_henry@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP So you think we should take May's deal then? I mean, you seem happy putting your future in the hands of the elite, and her recommendation is that we take that deal.
Or do you think it's a bit more nuanced than that, and that May should perhaps be managed a bit
@Sam48107115@trev_henry@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP We know for sure what the deal is, we've a reasonable idea of the possible no-deal ramificiations (though would know more if the Govt had actually planned for it in a meaningful way).
That's a very different situation to the ref where Remain = doom, leave = unicorns.
@trev_henry@Sam48107115@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP After all, if no-deal is what the people want (lets face it, May's deal aint, on either side) then surely a new referendum would support that anyway?
If that's not the case, then the Govt wouldn't in fact be enacting the will of the people anyway 2/2
@trev_henry@Sam48107115@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP The catch with that is, you throw away a number of the more cushy benefits we've already carved out for ourselves. If we re-entered, we'd be in the Euro, have no Veto etc.
A new poll would be a chance to take a moment, assess, and see what the people want now 1/2
@Sam48107115@trev_henry@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP > He has offered no such thing in his recent statement
Wait... you mean... he changed his mind? Fuck, I thought that couldn't possible happen in a democracy.
Wait, General Elections are binding, as are leadership contests. Yet the Tories have run both twice in 2 years.
@trev_henry@Sam48107115@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP Old Nige said a close Remain win wouldn't mean the end of it, and he'd keep pushing for a new referendum.
Leave campaigners broke the law, some of them sold a bunch of lies too, but we still can't re-poll?
Doesn't sound very democratic to me
@trev_henry@Sam48107115@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP This country is going to change for ever either way.
There are very few situations in life where "I've got to take your first answer" applies, why is this one of them? Even JRM said he thought there should probably be a 2nd ref on the deal once negotiated.
@trev_henry@Sam48107115@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP And as far as it being about the people having their say, Soubry is pushing for people to get a say about where we go next.
Or are you saying that one poll, based on hopes rather than facts should be used rather than letting people have their say now that the facts are known?
@trev_henry@Sam48107115@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP And for the sake of balance, Jacob Rees-Mogg is also hated by millions of honest, hard working people.
That's the whole point/challenge with Brexit, it was close to a 50/50 split. Neither side should be trying to push only their view of what Brexit means, yet here we are
@trev_henry@Sam48107115@charles1966@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP You've got the elite forcing their views on both sides. That's a major part of the problem, is everyone refusing to listen to anything the other side has to say. Whether it's "you're too stupid to understand" or "you lost get over it", the division is being pushed on both sides
@Sam48107115@charles1966@trev_henry@boromirtrades@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP Yet Soubry voicing her opinion is abuse?
I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't particularly like the woman. Particularly as she tends to say one thing then vote the other way, but it's not abuse for her to state her opinions.
What the pineapple gammons were doing *was* abuse tho
@RMatthewsMEP@Anna_Soubry But I thought we should leave the EU because its an unelected beaurocracy?
Granted, I don't think *you've* ever claimed that, but maybe shout a bit louder to some of the people you seem to be defending
@chrisbowler8@WhittallClive@Anna_Soubry@RMatthewsMEP at the moment we're not being governed at all, as a result of the attempt to leave the EU because they've been blamed for shit that _our_ govt caused.
May failed to enact EU law to restrict FoM. We also tend to push policies with the EU and then blame the EU when voters object
@mellefluous@leedsblue67@DanielMushens@darrengrimes_ Davis may have been, but its fairly clear Raab was perfectly capable of undermining himself.... repeatedly. Just look at his comments on Dover, the EU would have walked over him even without May's help
@darrengrimes_ Typical Brexiter, it's really simple if you ignore all the hard stuff.
Putting a British colony on the moon is quite simple. The blocker, just like Brexit, is in the actual implementation.
But then, after your Sky News rant its fairly clear you couldnt give a fuck about reality
@alexandrabulat The only thing I would say, is you should consider going back to Romania, because those very same "patriotic" people are working very hard to turn our country into a shithole.
Thankfully, the tide may be turning, though it may be a little too late.
@jeremycorbyn is as dense as many of the Tories on this front. The EU have said it's not open for re-negotiation, so all he'd be doing here is preening and running down the clock further.
A competent Labour leader would have destroyed the Tories by now, they're an open goal https://twitter.com/IanMurrayMP/status/1076411044711542784
@voteforrudd@jeremycorbyn To be fair, the Conservatives are incredibly fortunate to have Corbyn as leader of the opposition. Someone competent would have eaten the current Gov for breakfast months ago
@wehden07@Helen_V100@BBCPolitics@Jacob_Rees_Mogg@joannaccherry Not tenuos. Actual, legal fact.
There would be political consequences of course, but it was not legally binding. Hell, the High Court was explicit about that.
Doesn't mean it shouldn't be implemented, but it absolutely was not legally binding.

@inabster@Lulu6122@Chris_Parkes_@Gatwick_Airport Highly unlikely to be false flag. But, very convenient timing all the same, news was too busy on Gatwick to report the 85 mil they've just hacked off the NHS budget
So just after the @Conservatives near rioted in the house because of "stupid woman" calling Women in a Burka postboxes is respectful and tolerant.I look forward to the day the Tory party collapses and ceases to exist.

Big ass EMP triggered in the centre of the airfield. Itll knock terminals and planes out, but the Tories don't care about collateral damage
#SuggestGatwickDroneSolutions
@Lulu6122@Chris_Parkes_@Gatwick_Airport Thing is, you only need to fly it for a few mins each time, then fly off. Theyve got to wait a while before an all clear. With multiple drones and launch/landing points you could keep this up for days - all the effort is on their side. All the more if you can abandon the drones
@Lulu6122@Gatwick_Airport Who told you that? A consumer level drone can do 60 mins at a push. Military and industrial drones can do longer.
The sightings have apparently lasted seconds each time, barely time to lift a camera if you've even got a telephoto with you. Phone camera's just gonna show a dot...
@TimRuff3@The_Flaneur16@igaathe09@steerwithmyrear@Bruce83692351@stackyard@jonsnowC4 On that, we're very much agreed. This is something that has been warned about repeatedly, and ignored. The airport and the Police are probably going to take most of the flack for today, but it's the Govt that are ultimately to blame for the embarrassing lack of preparation
@tabloiddrivel@stuartfreestone There's already a 5 year sentence for endangering aircraft.
I don't think it being 10 would deter whoever this is any more than 5 does. Long sentences tend not to work that way, because crims don't believe they'll be caught.
@Sekret_Ninja@sussex_police@Gatwick_Airport DJI's blocks are trivial to bypass.
More importantly, the blocks are implemented on the drone/controller themselves, so there's not much the old bill could do to "just block it".
Party politics need to fuck the fuck off until April at least. @Conservatives are all cunts, @UKLabour are all cunts. Shut up and sort Brexit the fuck out before we all bear the brunt of your egos.
Slow the video down @piersmorgan so that your old tired eyes can see it properly.

Although I guess, like many, I do now have the reflex of queuing the words "fuck off" when I hear someone pre-pend the word "smart" to something. What makes a Smart Motorway smart? Oh, nothing.
This Government really does love to talk about how they're "using technology" to solve hard problems, whilst ignoring just how much worse they're actually making things - MPs want halt to smart motorway rollout over safety concerns https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46553654
@jpscott1972@david_conn@timrich001@simonjhix To be honest, we were fucked either way the second they agreed to have a referendum. A vote in either direction opens up opportunities for MPs to improve things for themselves.
EU leadership *is* elected btw
@annmary44@Anisbet1702Anne@SkyNews@Jacob_Rees_Mogg - Against abortion, sells abortion pills.
- Says we're better out the EU, moves his businesses into EU
- Makes money from a fund that helps business relocate from the UK to the EU, whilst campaigning for something that will drive business away from the UK.
@jpscott1972@david_conn@timrich001@simonjhix You say that, but even JRM has said it'll take 50 years to see the benefits of Brexit. Got young kids? That's their *entire* working life they'll have to suffer the damage for. Of course there's fear of that scenario.
Either way, someone benefits, it's just not the population
@jpscott1972@david_conn@timrich001@simonjhix The media has been negative because it *is* a harmful thing to do. The EU is stronger in this because they get to spread the damage across 27 countries and economies. Not that they won't lose at all of course.
But you're right, they never expected to lose the referendum.
@jpscott1972@david_conn@timrich001@simonjhix It didn't need any orchestration from MPs though did it? It was *never* going to go quite as well as some hoped. No working solutions were offered by those who talked big...
In almost anything you do, there's a 'last chance' to assess & change direction. Why not Brexit?
You mean like when he said Brexiters don't want to abandon the GFA? Or when he previously said he thought there should be 2 referendums - one on whether we leave, and one on whether to accept the deal?
Don't mistake his tone for *actually* knowing what he's talking about https://twitter.com/Peter_Shilton/status/1072986937450004480
@bill_was_right@NSoames@Jacob_Rees_Mogg@theresa_may He's part of the problem too. But, you're right, it really is showing the Tory party in it's true colours - they've been at risk (and sorely in need) of a split for quite some time. For all the "Strong and Stable" they're actually massively divided in a number of important areas
@annmary44@Anisbet1702Anne@SkyNews@Jacob_Rees_Mogg No. he is lining his own pockets, or at least attempting to.
He's dead against abortion, yet sells abortion pills. There isn't a principle he has he wouldn't compromise for more money.
Not that that, for a second, makes May any better, but JRM is just as deceitful and dangerous
One thing he's not, is blind to this stuff. He knows full well what he's doing and saying - quite how he justifies the hypocrisy to himself is something else. My guess is he has a few Mr Burns moments where he lets the money console him and then carries on. https://twitter.com/OxfordDiplomat/status/1072977368585781250

@SpillerOfTea If it's any consolation, she couldn't give a fuck about England or the English people either.
She's an autocrat and an authoritarian, she doesn't like asking Parliament for permission, much less the voting population, which is why #PeoplesVote faces such an uphill battle.
@PeteOse@maryellenfield@nickeardleybbc@VladimirFarage Are you saying that not one of the Tory brexiters favours an extreme approach? Not one of them has suggested just going No Deal?
If not then you're taking umbrage at nothing. Some of the Brexiters *are* extremists
@jonkennaugh@sam1968x@ParlyApp@bbclaurak I agree, it's more than she's managed to come up with a deal that is universally loathed, picking the worst bits of either scenario without any of the better bits to back it up.
@sam1968x@jonkennaugh@ParlyApp@bbclaurak What's fairly impressive, is just how well May has managed to (accidentally) unite the polar opposites of ERG (and their supporters), Remainers along with most of the middle ground. United *against* her deal admittedly

@ClearyPhil@shep23@mc_hooty@scotttswan@Nigel_Farage It seems we agree on the political outlook within the UK then. If your view of the EU is correct, then we're screwed. But if we're out with the current Westminister shower we're also screwed. For all it's faults, the EU has historically acted as a safety net against MPs stupidity
@ClearyPhil@shep23@mc_hooty@scotttswan@Nigel_Farage I think it's fair to say we differ. Though I'd be curious to hear you views on the politicians you're jumping into the arms of and entrusting that future to? Is there _anyone_ in Parliament (in Government or not) you'd actually trust not to more or less the same?
@ClearyPhil@shep23@mc_hooty@scotttswan@Nigel_Farage > He's not giving us options, he stating that unless we accept the EU's deal, there'll be no Brexit.
He said no deal or no brexit. Very clear we can still leave, but it'll be on WTO terms. Which would be an act of cretinous self-harm, as many people have been saying for years
@h8mpy@Independent If your partner said they were leaving you, would you renegotiate your initial divorce settlement because they wanted to keep all the benefits of marriage without actually being married?
@Michaelrabbit79 He's literally stating the position. A deal has been negotiated, the EU aren't going to undermine/damage themselves for us.
It's not bullying and not trying to force acceptance either. He said we could also stay, or leave with no deal.
The easiest deal ever aint looking good.

@WaveFunctionPhi@Excarkun@eugenegu@realDonaldTrump Conversely, lack of that education increases the likelihood of poor choices. willful ignorance increases that risk further. However, what lack of an education does mean, is that you've no choice but to either remain ignorant or get the education you're looking down on
@WaveFunctionPhi@Excarkun@eugenegu@realDonaldTrump I did. let me rephrase it for you "Why are you wasting your time arguing with a joke?"
But, if you really need a serious answer given to you - no, an education does not guarantee good/sane judgement, nor give you the right to remain willfully ignorant 1/2
@DrunkenWalk@0K_ultra@yolotomassi@primalpoly@RealSexyCyborg I've already said that I'm not condoing the Doxxing. I can understand why it might have happened, but its still a no.

@DrunkenWalk@0K_ultra@yolotomassi@primalpoly@RealSexyCyborg She's been fairly forthcoming with screenshots of messages etc, are you saying she's taken the time to doctor them? And Sarah Jeong literally said "I don't think it's that big a deal, Chinese society is like South Korea". You can find it on Twitter if you want.

Doubt as much as you want, you'd be wrong, but it's no skin off my nose
@DrunkenWalk@0K_ultra@yolotomassi@primalpoly@RealSexyCyborg I don't condone the doxx, but given they had published information she asked them not to because she felt it would put her safety in danger, and then refused to even talk to her, I can see that you might get desperate.

It does feel very much like they may be shilling to me too
Why Dr @LiamFox you wouldn't be telling half-truths again would you? How many of those non-EU exports were assisted by our EU membership? A lot it seems

@hazelglasgow@theRowie@RossThomson_MP Well, when you collapse from starvation/disease, you want it to be on a clean carpet don't you? Not 'nearly clean' as @RossThomson_MP seems to think it'll be, but a full clean, sovereign carpet.
He really is such a mong
It wasn't the NHS you numpty, it was the Government draining it of funds whilst increasing the money going out to private companies. It's all part of the death by a thousand cuts the Tories will ultimately use to try and justify privatising. @jeremy_hunt was a big part of that https://twitter.com/Dakeb_MCFC/status/1023661885034582017
@Reconquista1970 I agree, collapse of industry was negative. But, Brexit's likely to bring more collapse not less. A No-Deal comes with a serious economic knock any way you look at it, and WTO terms means we won't be competitive with industry in other countries. So how are we going to get back?
@Reconquista1970 Now you sound like him ;) Next you'll be pointing out we were OK in the 70's so will be fine - ignoring the fact we were a) an economic basket-case and b) had existing trade agreements. The world's economy has moved on in 40 years. Past success is no indicator of the future
@Reconquista1970 And of course, no border checks would mean we've not actually taken any control of our borders back which will piss off a subset of Brexiters no end. People like JRM like to claim it's the Remainers who are blocking solutions, but he hasn't actually offered any that work. 9/10
@Reconquista1970 It's hard to see how prices _could_ avoid rocketing, and how we're going to avoid shortages of many things we take for granted. Even if _we_ impose no border checks, the lorries still have to be checked going back the other way, tying up part of the fleet. 8/9
@Reconquista1970 The cheap labour may go away (or more likely come from another source), but if the cost of everything rockets, those same guys will still be struggling (and the rest of us along with them). Given we're completely unprepared for the effect of No Deal on our borders 7/8
@Reconquista1970 Jacob Ress Mogg would fuck you and I over without even batting an eyelid, and that's what he seems to be in the process of doing. I understand your earlier complaints about cheap labour, but the reality is Brexit isn't going to make life easier on that front. 6/7
@Reconquista1970 It's hard to fit into a tweet stream, but the more I see of him and the more I read about him, the more I conclude that he wants to *appear* principled but actually has very few principles at all when the alternative is making himself and extra quid. To put it simply 5/6
@Reconquista1970 mostly won't see any benefit, because we've got to wait/suffer for 50 years. So, kids leaving school now will have suffered most of their entire adult lives before the benefits come. The rest of us may well be dead. And that's assuming he's still not being overly optimistic. 4/5
@Reconquista1970 Whilst exerting that influence, he's spouting one ideology and then following a completely different one in his financial affairs. If Brexit is going to be so great for the UK, why's his money moving out of it? Not to mention, by JRM's calender, your mates down the pub 3/4
@Reconquista1970 Obviously that says quite a lot about May too - but, ignore the fact you support the ends (i.e. Brexit) - can you condone the means? What if the ends were something you massively disagreed with? We don't even know what level of the population support a JRM style brexit 2/3
@Reconquista1970 That'd be too many answers for even a thread of tweets. To pick some though. Don't you find it undemocratic the way a backbencher (& the ERG) is exerting so much influence over negotiations? He's not a minister and yet he's getting concession after concession out of May 1/2
@Reconquista1970 It might perhaps have been wiser to try and sort out the local issue first tho. What worries me most is people backing those like JRM based on a single issue. Yes, he supports Brexit (as do you), but he also supports a lot of stuff that's going to be very bad for all (cept him)
@Reconquista1970 > this shower in Parliament get
We have something we can agree on :) I'd kick the lot of them out tomorrow and start again. The EU (despite its faults), in fact, has been something of a safety net against previous politicians, so post-brexit we're going to be more at their mercy
@Reconquista1970 A good many people have suffered stagnant and falling wages, but not everything is the EU's fault (just as *some* is). And supporting JRM sure as hell isn't the answer, Brexit or no Brexit, just look at his voting record. The enemy of your enemy aint your friend
@Reconquista1970 Not bitter. Pissed off, sure, but then my country is being trashed by the self-interested elite so that they can make a few quid. They say the working class support Brexit (and JRM) but it's them that will be hurt most by no-deal, so the real bitterness is yet to come.
Saddens me that anyone would actually believe that this money grabbing streak of piss is actually acting in their interest, in any way.

@BrentCate2@platospupil@Push4Contest@conservmillen Your Government is literally paying farmers $12bn to make food. Sounds like a step towards taking control of the means of production - classic communism. You might want to start with clearing Trump out of the swamp if you're so opposed to an ideology you clearly don't understand
@realDonaldTrump The type of lawyer who's happy being referred to as a "fixer". When you're surrounded with fucking mob terminology, why are you surprised that people might feel they need some form of insurance against the corrupt guy at the top?
In other words, you support the death penalty. It's quite simple, either you object to it's use, or you don't. There is no picking and choosing of cases. Objections can be raised, and assurances given that it'd be life instead. https://twitter.com/Mike_Fabricant/status/1021661351469621248

@SeanWrightSec I do find myself wondering what proportion of the circles would overlap on a Venn of those complaining about this change, and those who originally claimed Google Authenticator was bad and should not be used from a misconception that it was somehow a google specific technology
Just to be clear @Jeremy_Hunt neither I or anyone with eyes is going to blame the EU for a no-deal as it stands. It's your colleagues who have fucked it up, if there was _even_ any chance of success to begin with (which seems unlikely).

John Redwood isn't stupid as far as I can tell, so he must be misleading deliberately.

We can but hope. Problem is, really the Government should already have failed a few times, but it and the party seem to lumber on like the undead looking for brains to eat. If JRM gets into a position of power it's only going to get worse..
@JamesSpivey1@BlueBobX@DPJHodges@ben_skett@bbradleymp So your argument is both sides cheated? In which case the result's definitely unsafe and undemocratic right? Still sounds like the result should be treated with a lot of caution given the possible economic impact
It really is a bit poor that I can use #FIDO2/#U2F with @Twitter,@Facebook and @Google but not with @paypal - who actually have access to some of my money. @paypal were involved in creating #U2F and yet they still rely on insecure SMS based #2FA, can't even use #TOTP ffs

@penguininfire@blackroomsec He labelled him a pedo. There are certain labels where the labelling alone is enough to cause harm, and this is one of them. Calling him a cunt is being shitty, calling him a pedo is defamation, whether it was intended as an actual accusation or not.

@LVIaLondres@PatHallWilts@chunkymark@SamCoatesTimes@Conservatives@UKLabour@LibDems Be careful what you wish for, given our Government's aptitude with IT, we'll wind up with a system where MPs vote via a Twitter poll, and will wonder how there were more "nay" votes than MPs when the bots descend on it.

@riclim_mb@razzybellis@zeynep@elonmusk Hopefully the lesson some will take from this is that no one - including Elon - is infallible. Not all, but some of his fans don't seem to get that *all* engineers have shit ideas from time to time, that includes how they talk to people
@riclim_mb@razzybellis@zeynep@elonmusk I agree, he's taken a lot of undeserved flack for trying to help, and I suspect most people would flip at some point. Not like this though, and the flack for *those* tweets is 100% deserved
@razzybellis@zeynep@elonmusk Thats fine up until the point where Elon throws his toys out the pram and brands the diver a paedo. Thats not an accusation that should ever be cast lightly. Good of him to offer support, yes, but he's totally fucking undermined himself with those 2 tweets

@JanneyNick@GirlGiada@Chisel7@DavidLammy Probably trying to make sure he's got an emergency fund to try and keep things afloat post-Brexit. Don't really blame him.
You're making it to the pro-Trump march today though right? I mean it is Saturday, and you are on Twitter so presumably aren't working...
@GirlGiada@Chisel7@DavidLammy There's supposed to be a pro-Trump rally today, which intersects with a Free Tommy march. I mean, who'd have thought they'd have an overlap in supporters?.... oh, right, yeah.
Fox News aside, no news reports of violence yesterday. Bet there will be today though
@GirlGiada@Chisel7@DavidLammy Weird how the right wing keep talking about the silent majority innit? They're so over awed with Trump and his policies that most of them can't even manage to speak out in support, or march in a counter-march.
In fact, it's almost as if they are in fact a vocal minority.

But you're right, you shouldn't care how we feel about him. When he's inside our borders though, we absolutely are within our rights to yell cunt at him. You believe in freedom of speech right?
@Tucker5law Did you see the full bit on that though:
When told that Sun journo is here, he asks him if he included the nice things he said about May. Told that the Sun did, he said where, on the internet? Told it was in the paper, he says it was not in the headline.

He's got some of the worst political traits without any apparent redeeming ones
@GraceEnahoro@_njd_@AmanTsays@neilio_uk@nick_clegg Stop saying "pays", it makes it sound like you've had an explanation of the issue from the great orange one himself. We don't pay NATO 2% of our GDP, we pay our military that money (or otherwise invest in defence).

@DavidGreydanus@MalwareTechBlog@elonmusk No, I'm saying bitch about the right thing. Don't make it Musk's fault when his followers pile on. Encourage him to think about that before tweeting sure, but that's different to it being his _fault_ - especially if he's responding to criticism any one of us would reply to
@stony225@BillKristol Didn't he also claim something along those lines at one point - that he was only acting like he was on the campaign trail, and that IF he was elected he'd be as calm and professional as any other politician.
@BBCTech I know it didn't happen, but in my mind the mental image is of the guy running out of Cupertino with a stolen briefcase and getting into an Apple driverless car in order to make his escape.
@MalwareTechBlog@elonmusk he didn't. He responded frankly and honestly.
Not that I'm a particular Musk fan either. Don't dislike him, just not part of the RDF that seems to have developed around him. SpaceX is great. Tesla are douche-bags, but the achievements in both are enviable
@MalwareTechBlog Yeah, I think if you're blaming @elonmusk for the fact that his followers piled on after he responded to critcism, you're probably looking at the wrong problem. It's the pileon that's wrong.
It'd be different if he'd tweeted "This guys a dick and was rude to me, get im", but

@AlecMuffett Which, to be fair, for most users is closing the stable door after it's bolted. They've already made that data available - and were comfortable doing so at the time. They can potentially stop making more data available if the value proposition no longer works though 2/2
@AlecMuffett That's a slightly different proposition. You're billing after the fact, where the advice is (I assume) actually more along the lines of - think how much you value your data, and what the return is. If the return is < enough, don't make that data available in the first place. 1/2
@AlecMuffett That's just the value that Facebook manages to extract, but you may value your own data at a higher price. If you value at (say) $50/mo, why would you let Facebook sell it for just $3. Higher valuations make sense - harder to pull back than to give away. Not that you see £ anyway

@nona80_swanette@DiscordianKitty To be fair, depending on the subject there is always the possibility you've missed something basic because you've made an assumption or simply forgot. But it's frustrating as hell when on the receiving end of someone starting from the beginning.
@guy_herbert@AlecMuffett some existing platforms may fall out of use in favour of decentralised models that are far harder to police. Remember the bittorrent headaches before streaming gained popularity instead? Imagine a torrent based youtube (then look @ peertube). You'll be worse off than you are now.
@guy_herbert@AlecMuffett That's true, though they seem to like to call it 'disruptive' behaviour to put a spin on it. Ill thought out overbearing legislation isn't the answer though. A chunk of my income relies on copyright but Article13 is too much and won't do what they want it to. 1/2
@guy_herbert@AlecMuffett When people complain about the tech industry & copyright, they tend to be complaining about Google, Facebook and some others. Plenty of other tech co's don't play as fast and loose as Google (in particular) are perceived to. Why's the generalisation OK for tech but not copyright?
@giveupalready@AlecMuffett Yup. if @joinpeertube built a script/app where you could just provide bandwidth (with or without funky crypto) I'd totally run it. Problem with a torrent client is you have to manually add each video - rather automate and host indiscriminately
@giveupalready@AlecMuffett So if it (or similar) were to take off, you could easily help keep things online while reducing the fragmentation of many different peertube instances on many different domains. So a few single popular aggregators could essentially replace youtube
@giveupalready@AlecMuffett There's already peertube - https://joinpeertube.org/en/home/ - in the works which functions much like that. As it is, it may suffer like Diaspora did - lack of awareness & uptake - but something like Article 13 could be enough to drive users to look for something new and increase uptake
@giveupalready@AlecMuffett Yep, and that may be the ultimate outcome. Initial implementations though will likely be quite user hostile - an overabundance of caution as much as anything else - but will probably then regress to a more comfortable mean
@giveupalready@AlecMuffett Agreed. The problem of course, is that the most likely route for it to get more draconian is for these Articles to pass in Sept - at which point once users notice it'll be too late (much like the fuss about GDPR).
@AlecMuffett That's a scary turnaround. Particularly given that Google is big enough to be one of the least affected by it, they can quite easily drop in automated screening. It's the users, smaller competitors and everyone else who'll suffer.

@ChrisPodlaski@dhh But banning Kinder Eggs is A-OK?
There's craziness either side of the pond, and memes aren't illegal. The proposed new copyright directive *is* insane in places, but there's still time to stop it. There have been similarly stupid bills mooted in the US in the past too
@CeoNunneley@dhh Simply - Yes. That those happened doesn't mean America isn't awful, or that it wasn't. Conversely, it doesn't mean that it is awful either. There were quite a few medical advances made in Nazi Germany, for example.

@dazrx8@Whatastate2@JuliaHB1@MTH0MP5ON@thinkovation On that one, I think you're correct. We were all screwed, whether Remain or Leave, the second the Referendum was announced.

@rakorbabyeater@a420tkr@LeicsPoliceRPU Nor would he it seems. Pleads guilty and then asks his supporters to stump up for his appeal.

@MudChedz@hachikoco@HorshamGardener@brendan_92@DavidLammy well, yes. That's kind of the point - even *if* you buy into the bullshit that this wasn't Trump's doing, @realDonaldTrump should still be condemned for continuing to do it, when he could so easily stop it. Particularly given it started during his presidency. But.. Trump's a cunt
@hachikoco@HorshamGardener@brendan_92@DavidLammy Kim Jong Un took over from his father, so he shouldn't be criticised for the labour camps right? I mean, that practice was going on well before he took power. Even if you're right about the practice predating Trump (your not), Trumps support of it is still worthy of condemnation

@darrel_miller@Scott_Helme@JeremiahLee I saw clear text HTTP/2 in the wild the other day whilst looking at packet captures. Finding it made me very, very sad. They went to the trouble to support HTTP/2 (arguably wasn't needed) and balked at the TLS (needed, even if they'd used HTTP/0.9)

@HandsOffLondon@cthulhupotamus@AlecMuffett True, there's a lot of Huawei knocking about in the UK - on the other hand, you do kind of assume they're going to want the things to still carry packets. Short of IPvUK or an intranet only UK (even then, in some ways) there will still be ways and means
@RealSexyCyborg I think they also tend (or maybe prefer) to forget that, depending on the subject, the peril is an ongoing thing. The potential consequences can come after you're done working with them (and the story's broken) just as easily as whilst you're helping. One screwup is all it needs
We saw it here in the UK. Cleanfeed was to block child exploitation material (good). Then a judge ruled it should be used to block torrent sites (questionable), which opened the floodgates and now our govt wants to block porn sites who are unwilling to track and record users

They've had 5 days to deliver a part thats been in the UK the whole friggin time and can't even seem to work together to get it out of the warehouse. FFS, not like thats a core part of either of their businesses. Now I know how @KFC_UKI felt
@BridgetBurke2@mower538 Fair enough, if you had just passed a bunch of lorries and were that close to the next, I'd not have pulled in either. And either way, undertaking is the wrong response
@leonadato@eyydontatme@RealSexyCyborg@visjevangen Don't get me wrong - I'm not suggesting it doesn't happen. It just strikes me as odd that it should need saying (to those men in question). Course, the same goes for behaviour at conferences etc too
It's a sad world we live in really.
@leonadato@eyydontatme@RealSexyCyborg@visjevangen See, I find that strange. To me, mentorship is just another professional relationship. It might be slightly informal (in the way you might also be with colleagues) or be in informal settings, but IMO the boundaries should already be pretty damn clear.
@Recursion_Agent@visjevangen@RealSexyCyborg@leonadato I guess that's true too.
From her later reply though - It's more about making sure the person being mentored gets the best start through talking with someone they're comfortable and identify with. That I cannot disagree with.
@mower538@BridgetBurke2 I'd assume it's dashcam footage from the framing of the image.
It's possible, but then I drive 60 miles of the A14 twice daily, and there are a *lot* of twats on it. I tend to move quite fast too, though, so I'd probably be counted amongst them by some (never undertake though)
@kidlightnings@RealSexyCyborg Hopefully, Radar at least had the decency to pay them for the full time booked rather than just the time they were there. Still, sucks either way.
I know people (male and female) who do events, and they generally quite enjoy them. They'd be pissed to be sent home.
@RealSexyCyborg@visjevangen@leonadato and either way, I _would_ much prefer to refer someone onto someone else if I thought they were a better fit for the person wanting help (which is actually almost always the case - see earlier note about my mentoring abilities).
@mower538@BridgetBurke2 fair enough - I read it differently. But yeah, assuming that space to the left is clear (which must be to have been undertaken) there's still quite a gap up to that lorry, so could have yielded
@mower538@BridgetBurke2 Doesn't make undertaking any more correct or legal though. Or indeed his speed if the person being undertaken was doing 70.
Just because someone's driving slower than you like doesn't excuse driving dangerously and putting others at risk.
@visjevangen@RealSexyCyborg@leonadato See I'd argue @leonadato is right, assuming you'd also help a bloke out. You shouldn't treat an interested woman any different. Be helpful to ppl who are interested in the industry, no matter their gender - that often does involve introducing them to others who might help anyway
@Channel4 - such a poor decision. Go on, give us a series 3, Damned really was one of the better things I've watched on Channel4 in recent years.

@dvrmmr@0x00rick@JaneFrankland@PatchYourselfUp@Fox0x01 There were still characters left, so it's not like the name Radar couldn't have made it into the tweet too. Managed to tag the event, but not the company? A simple mention would have flagged it to Radar so that they can actually act on the feedback.
@Baddiel I don't quite get the first reply either - you made a fairly absolute statement suggesting no indecision whatsoever, yet the reply is that you must mean you're undecided? Wut?

@dsample@tante I think there's more to it tho. Centralisation aids discoverability. U r more likely to encounter my github stuff than my non-github repos. Thats a hard one to address as discoverability tends to increase contributions too (IMO). I prefer to use my own repos though.

@hackerfantastic Yeah, like anything else, it just affects the rate at which your skills will develop/progress. If you need to learn the underlying subjects first, progress may be a little slower/harder. But not knowing them isn't a blocker, what's important is that you're _capable_.

@SeanWrightSec I got one of those earlier. Thought did cross my mind that given TSB's recent behaviour/problems people could more easily believe it was real and the bank just being stupid.
Brilliant. Go to pay the charge and @DartCharge is broken and giving an internal server error when you try to sign it. Guess I better hope there _is_ enough money in there to cover it....
Anyone else looks at @google's non-personalised adsense for #GDPR now that it's live and decided it's not what you hoped it would be? Which would be fine if they'd documented it, or set it live a few days before the legal peril starts rather than on the day.
@TheRegister@AlecMuffett I've got an easier solution. Stop bundling shit apps on phones and preventing users from uninstalling them. It's not just facebook, it's all the other shit as well. If I can uninstall it because I'm not using it, then there's no need to worry about how an app I won't use updates.
@aeliasen@AlecMuffett@thedarktangent Yeah, was just about to say the same. Bit of a blunt way of going around it, but there are more than a few sites I wouldn't mind it on (and some I've butchered so hard with Ublock that I get that experience). Though, I will be picky and point out that's not plain text. It's HTML
@john_m_bradley@RawInfoSec@Scott_Helme I find it incredibly frustrating when people open issues and then eventually delete the entire thread, like he's done now....
@secresDoge@SeanWrightSec@Scott_Helme@troyhunt Yep. He makes reference to his years of experience in the threads but not once does he seem to have noted is what he wants to create is basically just an open proxy, with all the issues that entails. But HTTPS is a conspiracy aimed at screwing us all
@SeanWrightSec@Scott_Helme@troyhunt I like the way that the *known* risk (and known instances) of people (including ISPs) injecting shit into pages served over HTTP is written off with "Well, Google can do that too, but in the browser". Let's ignore a world full of adversaries because there's one left over... FFS

@LondonAndy@djm_black@ottocrat Presumably, if we leave, all she'd actually need to do is get confirmation that Scotland could re-enter the EU once independent and she'd get a good lump of votes. Wouldn't blame Scotland for going either, the way things are going I'd go too if I could.
@andrewdoull@saarw@jesperTingvall@janklausa@tha_rami Assuming it's actually a requirement, rather than "we want", then GDPR allows for that. If you're legally required, then the legal basis is Section 6(c) Compliance with a legal obligation. No right of erasure of any data you're mandated to retain there. If anything, it's easier
@saarw@jesperTingvall@andrewdoull@janklausa@tha_rami At which point those smaller companies would simply be systems providers. If they (themselves) collected or processed user data in any way then they'd be liable under GDPR, so it's far from a loophole.
@saarw@jesperTingvall@andrewdoull@janklausa@tha_rami That _may_ work for companies without an EU presence at all. Those with an EU presence will have their local branch sued. So it's - avoid GDPR costs, do no business in the EU - rather than simply relocating servers.
@axleyjc@AlecMuffett@amitkatwala@matthew_d_green@SecureDrop Yes, desktop - but it's still an official Signal client. There are plenty of PGP/Email usecases that are entirely unaffected by #efail too so not sure why the distinction really matters? It could just as easily have been the signal app affected, and at some point might well be
@saarw@jesperTingvall@andrewdoull@janklausa@tha_rami And targeting just the worst abusers leads to loopholes. GDPR is supposed to be about dragging standards up across the board, so of course it affects all. As it should, frankly.
Not that I don't have my own headaches with it, mind.
@saarw@jesperTingvall@andrewdoull@janklausa@tha_rami There's also neither to conclude it not to be sufficient, the point either way is you should be able to reasonably defend your position. Assuming you're not retaining backups for a stupid amount of time (if you're even slightly busy, they're outdated anyway) then seems reasonable
@saarw@jesperTingvall@andrewdoull@janklausa@tha_rami Where did you get the idea that was a requirement? It's not.
What you do need is a process to ensure that if you've deleted a user's data from prod and then restore and older backup, that the user's data is subsequently deleted. And to be upfront about it
@Neil_Skinner@TruculentSheep@Glinner > So therefore more than 52% are ok with the result.
Were.
We can't make any judgements about current thinking based on the outcome of the referendum. But yeah, those who didn't vote signalled they were OK with others deciding for them (even if they assumed it would go one way)
@AlecMuffett@amitkatwala@matthew_d_green@SecureDrop I feel slightly sick whenever I see someone saying "just use Signal" as a reason to not use PGP. Although there's some overlap in the Venn diagram, both have large areas of use-case that the other doesn't cover.
Not to mention Signal has been the subject of 2 nasties this week.
@denisoconnell63@Glinner But not voting is accepting that you may lose the right to choose, on this topic, for ever. It's also accepting that your apathy may also strip others of that same right. it's a choice with consequences. So unless you're actually against, I think Yes is the logical course end/
@denisoconnell63@Glinner Just to take it a step further though. Not voting is giving up your choice to have a say (because you're undecided, don't care etc). But you're also saying you dont care about others right to choose, ever, as voter apathy could lead to a No win. Not saying it will 3/
@denisoconnell63@Glinner The difference between your analogy and this is your vote affects what others are allowed to do. In your analogy, only you don't sell your house, but the 8th prevents anyone else from selling their house either. 2/
@denisoconnell63@Glinner But thats a flawed analogy. Say there's a covenant on houses on your road that prevents rooftop aerials. You're neither for nor against. But voting no prevents anyone else putting one up. Yes doesnt mean they have to, but can if they choose. 1/
@Glinner@denisoconnell63 Yeah ^ that. Seems like the logical answer to me. A No outright denies others the choice to do as they see best. A yes doesn't compel anyone and they can still be a "No" through their own actions without imposing that on anyone else. Makes more sense to me than the earlier reply
@denisoconnell63@Glinner Sorry I don't follow your logic on voting no if you're undecided. It maintains that status quo so denies others a choice. Surely voting yes is the lesser of the two as it allows others to decide for themselves? Not voting does of course strike a balance tho. What am I missing?
@Glinner Fair bit of reference to 'undecideds' so just wanted to ask something. If you're undecided ('cause you don't know, or think it should be the women who decide, or whatever) - isn't the best course of action a 'yes' so that women actually get the option? Or am I missing something
Well, that's me bollocksed in the long run then. Hopefully by the time it actually becomes an issue, we'll have sorted out the infra to make 'leccy anywhere near a viable option for my needs. https://twitter.com/CarThrottle/status/996707839774257152

@runasand Or indeed today, with the Electron RCE (CVE-2018-1000136) which affects Signal Desktop (amongst other things). Much like #efail that's an issue with in the client not with the protocol too, but unlike #efail harder to mitigate.

@JamieHolePunch@Tucker5law It's important we rig this vote as a show of strength to the Ruskies. Between that and them finding Eurovision is harder to rig than a western election it should knock them back for a few weeks.
@LeahtheMoon@GurrAlexander@NickCohen4@garycarter1071 Not to mention it's always been within our national government's power to try and address it. Yet that doesn't seem to have happened (or there'd be no complaints). So, we'll cast out a tier that could perhaps help and leave ourselves with one that won't? Brilliant plan that...
@GurrAlexander@NickCohen4 If you say so. Personally, I'd say it's the Brexiters who have failed to learn the lessons of history, but we're probably both thinking of somewhat different events.
You still don't seem to have explained the oppression reference that @garycarter1071 asked about either
So today is #InternationalNursesDay and the health secretary @Jeremy_Hunt has tweeted nothing.
Perhaps that's his present to them? Not doing anything or opening his mouth and fucking things up for them, for just one day.
@GurrAlexander@NickCohen4 Every time I hear "fail because of Remainers" I hear they mean is "must be the Remainers doing it because a lot of people with a clue seem to be Remainers said X would happen and now they've caused it". I'd point out tho Gove is a Brexiter and has done more than most to fuck it
@NickCohen4 If waiting 10 years for an improvement is OK, we might as well stay in the EU. After all, Brexiters keep telling us it's going to collapse under it's own weight soon anyway. Plus, if it doesn't, it may improve in 10 years anyway

@briankrebs@snd_wagenseil Should privacy be a chargeable premium though? Or would it perhaps be better for it to be the default? I would say the latter. Though doesn't undermine your argument.

@_AlanCurran@SeanWrightSec It's delayed me a bit, but I'll be done in time and I think it's ultimately going to be worth it in the end. There's been a few things that should be fine under GDPR, but I decided I wasn't necessarily that comfortable with.
@_AlanCurran@SeanWrightSec Yep. Though, arguably, they possibly already were - depending on what JS loads before the 'shield' as well as what they're writing into access logs etc. It's far better to invest the effort into becoming compliant - I've gone for a deep audit beyond GDPR's scope 1/2
@SeanWrightSec@_AlanCurran Lots and lots of GDPR violations :)

@Fox0x01@MalwareTechBlog More or less the approach I take too, keep a kanban list of things I want to write up (sometimes with a half-drafted copy already in the comments).
Problem is finding time to even start working through it though.
@WilyMongoose@kentindell Yep, there's no excuse for Uber to be taking the "move fast and break things" approach in real life. They started behind and are up against very advanced competitors, but that's their problem and not one they should be forcing onto the public who have the cheek to walk the street
@WilyMongoose@kentindell Very hard for a company to catch up with the competition when doing that level of testing though. Which, sadly, probably explains exactly why this was let onto the road
For fuck sake. Things are bad when you let a dev create a setting to just ignore anomalies rather than find a way to handle them. When you let them deploy software to control a vehicle in public, it's lethal. Who the fuck thought @uber with it's scummy history was a safe choice? https://twitter.com/kentindell/status/993547963870871552
@SeanWrightSec@troyhunt yup, which I think is a good way to go. Gonna be a lot of objections though if it starts being done for plain HTTP though - think of all those router/switch interfaces and the angry sysadmins :)
@SeanWrightSec@troyhunt Yep, though it will inevitably attract complaints in the short-term. Does seem to be the route Firefox (in particular) is heading, which is good. I guess though, you then start to get back to the padlock conundrum - green is better than red, it's green so must be good and fine
@SeanWrightSec@troyhunt Yeah, very good write-up. The only thing I really felt was missing was to note that humans are also crap at noting the absence of a visual indicator. So even if the padlock were a guarantee, expecting users to notice it's missing/crossed out just doesn't really work
Wut?
@BritishGas you sure you don't have elevated CO levels in the office? There's bad excuses and then there's talking out of your flue. True, there're also bad puns, but at least mine aren't a stupid security weakness. https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/993395318711463936
@MylesJackman Unless they also replied to the tweet, not a Godwin - "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1".
Course if someone compares that user to something it gets messy, does it then count?
The closest I've ever seen to people saying "ads should be more personalised" is them complaining that the personalisation the ad networks do is shit. - why are you showing me ads for x, when you know I've just bought one...
To me, that reads as less personalised would be better https://twitter.com/AnalyticsNick/status/992109632616386564
Car industry on alert over reports some hybrids face a ban https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44008098 - we'd better invest a fucking huge amount in charging infra then. Currently a leccy is impossible for me because I can't guarantee a charge at work
Actually, are they going to block us all from their homepage too come the 25th? Or are they going to put the effort in to make their own site compliant whilst continuing to sell a magic bullet... https://twitter.com/mikko/status/992379231479967745
@janikarlsson@mikko Use VPN and then register for that site's services - same effect.
Not so much a shield as trying to milk some cash ($9/mo for a basic geolocation service for one site??)
When you're saying "If you knew anything about IT Security" to Dan fucking Kaminsky you may need to stop and consider whether there may in fact be a flaw in your own argument.

> company which is looking to delete parts of its database because: “they didn’t realize they had so much personal data that they were collecting”.
Good example of what #GDPR brings to the table. Imagine losing user's data you didn't even fully recognise you had https://twitter.com/ForbesTech/status/991995787155529728
@Scott_Helme@ivansieder@bltjetpack@awscloud Oh yeah, I agree, 33% is just gouging. The overhead does have an impact at scale though depending on what you're delivering, so I *can* see justifications. Personally, though, I'd charge the same for both (even if that means increasing HTTP slightly) to avoid that 'premium' feel
@ivansieder@bltjetpack@awscloud@Scott_Helme > the SSL/TLS termination, which does produce some overhead
It does, and charging a little extra for that seems reasonable. But the charging is on requests not connections - most of the overhead is only incurred once for a keep-alive connection: for the handshake. Seems steep
@SeanWrightSec Been a while, but has progressively made the mailing list a less useful place to lurk. Plz remember to email the list once you've got a CVE
@SeanWrightSec@AppSecBloke@Scott_Helme@briankrebs Other's input would be interesting though, as I'm largely spitballing on this. Basically I think for EV it'd probably pass an Legitimate Interest Assessment, but DV would be more of a stretch
@SeanWrightSec@AppSecBloke@Scott_Helme@briankrebs The details are necessary for certs (as they're proof of identity - at least of a sort) and CT logs tie into validating those certs. Not the same for whois which is effectively a side utility (in terms of the relevant fields). Reckon you could still make a case for DV certs tho
@SeanWrightSec@AppSecBloke@Scott_Helme It'd be easy enough to argue it was a legitimate interest which needed to be fulfilled to issue the cert I'd have thought. You could make it consent (given when submitting the CSR) but that then gets tricky because it'd be a bit hard to withdraw consent once it's entered CT logs
@jessyjones@Raspberry_Pi I get the feeling you may suffer from the same issue as me - I'll keep one spare on the shelf in case one of the others needs replacing. Inevitably followed by thinking of a use for it, buying another "spare" and ultimately using that.
@Spectre_06Live@CountDankulaTV@Glinner That is not a legal precedent though. Thats case law and other courts are not bound by it. The judge didnt say there'd be no reference to the case, but that it doesnt set a precedent. A judge, of all people, will mean the legal definition
@Spectre_06Live@CountDankulaTV@Glinner Yeah, maybe read up on how legal precedent works. No other court is bound by this decision, there is no precedent in the legal sense. If a higher court rules and sets a precedent then the lower courts are bound by it.
@UndeadDan@efeyeo@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling Not really. I mean you could argue there should be a specific law, but then there's lots of stuff you could say that for. £800 isn't that disproportionate, he's only got to have avoided a few speeding tickets to rack that up. Prison time otoh would be
@Spectre_06Live@CountDankulaTV@Glinner No its not.
Lower courts cannot and do not set a legal precedent. Thats not how it works in any way. If you want a precedent you need a higher court
@UndeadDan@efeyeo@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling Should add btw, that the reason the punishment seems so harsh is the crime it falls under. It's considered perverting the course of justice, which can carry a life sentence. In that context £800 is fairly lenient, but the risks really are stupidly high
@UndeadDan@efeyeo@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling Rap cases, much the same position - there's a balance to be struck, and I'm not sure it's necessarily been done appropriately. But, again, there tends to be quite a lot of misreporting around things too.
But that's all an irrelevance given this guy was not done for speech. e/
@UndeadDan@efeyeo@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling He had the opportunity to make a freedom of speech case, and didn't bother. That said, not sure if I'd have bothered prosecuting it given the choice, but the points made supporting it are not entirely invalid either. There's a balance to be struck as with many things 2/
@UndeadDan@efeyeo@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling Mainly because there's 280 chars to squeeze it in. Dankula - he's clearly a prick, but the punishment was overly harsh. BUT it's also being widely misrepresented (you didn't though). Notable that he made 0 submission to court regarding impact of FoS, despite being invited to 1/
@UndeadDan@efeyeo@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling And? They also execute people in Texas, we don't do that here.
Strangely, different legal systems tend to have different punishments for the same crime. It wasn't "not bending the knee", it was perverting the course of justice by fitting a device made for doing just that
@ArtyBagger Didn't have to sign up with each individual newspaper just to buy though, did you? You paid through one shared mechanism - the newsagent. That's the main problem I currently have with paywalls, especially given almost none have a "pay just to read this one" option, it's all subs
@Tucker5law That's the bit that worries me, the pool of carpet chewing cretins that May has to choose from. It's fucking fantastic that Rudd's gone, but we're gonna feel some pain when the replacement is announced
@UndeadDan@efeyeo@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling Flipping a bird *is* swearing.
8 months is harsh, but using one is illegal. You use one, you take the risk and only an absolute cretin would draw attention to themselves using one by making gestures. Especially as the speedcam will log error codes when a car with a jammer passes
@briankrebs Meh, I think you're both right. There *are* ramifications to removing individuals data from public view, but the question is is it proportional to have everyone's data there when comparing to the relatively low %age of malicious domains. But deleting comments aint helping....
@efeyeo@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling He's a US conservative, they tend to talk a big game about freedom of speech but then self-censor when it comes time to admit they were wrong.
Much like the article he quoted, he probably didn't bother to read my reply either as it was too long.
One of the best conferences I ever went to was basically arranged by a couple of universities. At one point there were just 15 of us plus the speakers. But, the speakers were very well chosen and delivered brilliantly. Sometimes low scale is much better than a big event https://twitter.com/AmberBaldet/status/990203857195225088
@saitosabard@RandnBC@iCuriosity420@shwood Complicated. It starts with a H phonetically in most of the world, so would be a herb. When spoken in the US, an 'erb would be correct. In written form though 'a herb' fits to the rule and will be understood by all.
@hale_razor@CherryMindRush@jk_rowling They did, but it wasn't his speech he was jailed for. It was for jamming.
But they're right, swearing at the police *is* an excellent way to get their attention, and they tend to be that little bit more driven to work out what you're doing wrong.
@UKLEAP@Maxwells_Tweet@ProfDavidNutt Will have to add that to my queue. Sadly, almost exactly the kind of response I'd expect.... I discussed the topic with the home office a decade ago, and their lack of logic and reason was awful.
@GreatCthulhu420@AWhiteGluz Yup, @archenemy are my choice when I'm in a bad mood, driving, or knocking out some code, or... actually, more or less any time I've got music on. If it's not them, there's a very good chance it @theagonist instead
@Maxwells_Tweet@UKLEAP Yup, they'll pull the old "that's just medical, we have to consider policy, political points and unicorns too" just like they did when they sacked @ProfDavidNutt
Different government of course, but still the same tired old shit being trotted out by them.
@IndyVoices@ShappiKhorsandi I love that the first comment goes "oh @ShappiKhorsandi doesn't like Trump, must be a butthurt Hillary fan". Cos over here in the UK it's really that polarised.... clearly it's not at all possible we could think them both scumbags
@dorothy_robin@cristofoli5@10DowningStreet@theresa_may So not protesting on one occasion should remove your right to protest at all?
I never said I was going to go our and protest either, simply pointed out that the original reply was dumb as fuck. Though you're reply has kindly made their look that much more intelligent
@FunBoy0ne@alanferrier Hi ho, hi ho, Back to international roaming charges we go, brexit's done, we had our fun, now we're fucked
The mail will still blame immigrants though
@tlelse@10DowningStreet@theresa_may@SadiqKhan Yep and if every mp stood by their constituencies vote, Leave would still be bigger. That would be more like a general election than now. He can't not support his citizens views, especially when such a large margin of london was remain. He's not an MP after all.
@tlelse@10DowningStreet@theresa_may@SadiqKhan I don't think he needs any energy to have ppl hate Trump. The man is orange marmite, loved or hated. As far as safety goes, wasn't Sadiq who got rid of lots of old bill - not sayin he couldnt do more tho. As far as Brexit goes, wasn't london primarily remain? Fits his position
@cristofoli5@10DowningStreet@theresa_may We didn't elect him though. Just because he was democratically (ignoring allegations of collusion) elected in another country doesn't mean we have to like or support him. Protest is also a fairly core freedom, so denying people that isn't exactly a smart idea. No anarchy involved
@AlecMuffett That's the sad thing, as bad as the current lot are, Labour aren't exactly privacy friendly either. It's like having a choice between being buggered with a pineapple or a toilet brush. Neither appeals
@DanKaszeta And now it seems she's broken ranks on the whole "We're leaving the customs union, that's our final position" thing - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43902011
Presumably the two combined might lead to a 'reordering' soon (though Windrush on it's own should have been enough)
@founding_proj@KristyDaniels_@tedcruz You mean like the US doctor who said he could help him. But then after looking closer said "oh, no, there's nothing I could do about that". Italian doctors aren't offering to help his condition, they're offering palliative care.
@AlexanderTSmith@NYCDubliner@Tupp_Ed Yeah, basically the entity you gave your data too. But Legitimate interests is right, it's the controllers interests not the users. They have to weigh them against the user's interest though when deciding whether the processing would be lawful
@TheHornyHaggis@JamieHolePunch Given how long its dragging on, they must be getting nervous it's going to run on into GDPR territory. Could quickly get very expensive.....
@MylesJackman > or commit multiple homicides at different times or locations.
So, live streaming a single homicide is fine, or a multiple homicide in a single location.... wut?

Long read, but entirely worth it. There's nothing in there I don't agree with, and every adult in the UK should be concerned, whether you view porn or not. Hopefully @BBFC will actually take heed https://twitter.com/pandorablake/status/988702949663703040

@markohalloran@Glinner You must've misunderstood him. He means every woman he's met regretted meeting him. Presumably because he led with "have you ever had an abortion"
@FrankMaynard5@tainteddemo1@realDonaldTrump It's possible to be both delighted that Hillary didn't get in, and devastated that Trump did get in. Both candidates were shit. Though I think if she is crooked, Hillary is probably better at covering her tracks than Trump
@km_cash@DoghouseDano@bad_takes Yeah, strangely enough you tend to remember the face of people you felt were a threat, particularly if they're threatening you.
Plus, you know, the affair apparently didn't happen and yet Cohen paid out 130k all the same. Really adds up....
@morgothedrelb@realDonaldTrump Im guessing he hires a new one whenever the current favourite says "no". Canvas them all, act if just 1 agrees and find a new one if all dissent.
@CBridge_Chief@Tupp_Ed The route I went as people seem to like them is embed a jpg of a like button (as well as tweet etc). First click loads their javascript and the button becomes real for the 2nd click (and obv a msg to explain). No tracking by default. Considering scrapping even that too though.
@pwotg@PhilipPullman@MichaelRosenYes Or, in fact, 4 pieces documentary evidence for each politician showing they've been here the whole time. With dates and documentation for any trip out of the country during that period. I'm not sure I could (and I've lived here my whole life)
@PeterWReynolds@RC_Garrick@jeremycorbyn Does in not bother you that we have a Prime Minister seen as so weak that her supporters are constantly concerned that the leader of the opposition will "win" during debates? Says more about the Government to me than about @jeremycorbyn. Not that I'm particularly a fan of him.
@DaisyVicEdwards@Pandamoanimum Original @irnbru was always better for that, especially given Lucozade's taste. But it'd work in a pinch.
Sadly new Irn-Bru doesn't work very well anymore, and the sugar content of Lucozade's been reduced too so it's not worth putting up with the flavour
@Release_drugs It very much reads as "This is hard, besides we're used to the current system and not worried that it actively works to screw people over". No objection in the letter either can't be addressed, or is not potentially outweighed by potential benefits. Unsurprising but disgraceful
@taylorjusher@IseultSidhe1@CNN Things is though, he *didn't* ask Comey to investigate did he? He told Comey he was considering asking him to prove it wasn't real, but the request never came.
That might've been for good reason (the president being investigated doesn't look good) or the talk might be false flag
Incidentally, even if true, publicly blaming the victim is the absolute worst thing @Tesla could do here. Frankly, it makes them look like a bunch of cunts. Especially given that it was seemingly still their car that veered towards the barrier, even if the driver wasn't attentive https://twitter.com/bentasker/status/984496762999263234
@alan_shenton@Glinner Basically, @realDonaldTrump told James Comey (before he was sacked, obv) that he was considering asking him to investigate the pee tape. Just in case Melania was "even 1%" worried it was true you understand.... Though, for some reason, that request never came.
@AlecMuffett@davidallengreen@MylesJackman Ahhh, but thinking about it, the 2006 Act didn't come into full effect until some time in (late IIRC) 2008, so this could still fall before that.
@AlecMuffett@davidallengreen@MylesJackman She says "about 10 years" ago, so that's what 2008?
Up until 2006, most of the CMA stuff was a summary offence (so, 6 months or so time limit), but then s1 became "either way" so the Limitations act doesn't apply. Unauthorised access falls under Section 1
@metrofire@piersmorgan I dunno, the first word that comes to mind when I think of @piersmorgan is "toxic" so perhaps he does have the experience.
OK, I lie, actually the first word that comes to mind is cunt, but it'd be rude to lead with that.
@cloudflare - do you have a whitelist of authoritative servers for ECS or does 1.1.1.1 just not support it (which would be interesting.... your anycast based CDN would be unaffected, whilst more traditionally routed CDNs would all be fucked over for users of 1.1.1.1 :) )
@jx_shiro@Fatal6ert@IanDunt I've heard it reasonably regularly throughout my life, though that's admittedly a sample of 1 :) The related phrase I more ascribe to American's though is "Thank You for your service" in the context of random civvies saying it out of the blue
@jx_shiro@Fatal6ert@IanDunt Not really. Being in the military is called military service across the english speaking world and has been for quite some time. Therefore you've served. Though you do tend to hear that phrase from the yanks more, it's definitely not an americanism.
@jamesdaykin@MrJamesMay Wasn't actually as dark as the dashcam makes it look. Others have released video of the same stretch. Regardless, lidar doesn't care about visible light and should have seen her well before. Also, she walked with bike, not ran. Human driver would have braked at least, uber didnt
@DaleStangoe@MrJamesMay That's why its news. Not only is it the first autonomous death, but it's looking like more abd more of an example of exactly why some aren't happy with the testing - some companies cannot be trusted when life/death is involved. I strongly suspect a Waymo would have detected her
@DaleStangoe@MrJamesMay But it still is a problem for autonomy. Realistically, the market (not the tech) is going to have to cope with uber-alikes who "move fast and break things". Scumbag companies could easily lead to overregulation, effectively delaying autonomy for quite some time. 2/
@DaleStangoe@MrJamesMay Part of the problem in this case doesn't seem to have been autonomy as such. It's Uber. They've cut corners and tried to shave costs. The car had 1 lidar array and they disabled the volvo's built in systems. It was an accident waiting to happen and we still don't have full info 1
@IanDunt Wouldn't have worked at my high school, in fact would probably have had the opposite effect. Disciplinary action was worn as a badge of honour. Even the church backed out of taking over after they'd visited. Mind you, that school's closed and demolished now.
@6880o@razhael That's Public sector wages for you. In the old days, the Pension etc made up for it but that's pretty much long gone too.
It's also a pretty good wage for the public sector, I worked with people who were on much, much less.
@MalwareTechBlog@MalwareJake I'd guess, based on nowt but supposition, that you might be in the minority there tho. I think it's something car manufacturers would probably prefer not to openly discuss at all for the fear it might dissuade sales, at least in the absence of a unified approach across industry
@MalwareTechBlog@MalwareJake Swerving is instinctive (as you say), but buying a car explicitly designed to prefer other's lives is a more considered decision (i.e. you've some time to dwell on it rather than having to react immediately). Particularly if you're thinking of carrying kids.
@MalwareTechBlog@MalwareJake Conversely, if as a manufacturer you're totally open about the fact your cars will try to save pedestrians over you - who'd buy a car that has essentially been programmed to kill them?
Not that I'm saying either side is correct, it's a hard question either way
@bikerman777@NPR From what I've been reading, it's neither footfall or online competition that finished them. It's private equity firms buying them and signing them up to a load of debt at the same time to make gains.
@AlecMuffett@MylesJackman AIUI they've taken rather a lot of advice from MindGeek on this. MindGeek obviously compete with those "recalcitrant pornography sites" so perhaps recommended that a stick be made available to push their competitors into using their services?
@AlecMuffett I once saw an advert for seeds, available via foreign mail order (effectively). Might have been a sting, but either way, no internet involved. I've also been into shops in the UK that sell them. Def not an internet problem. If it's even a problem at all in fact
@matthillco Not to mention that sometimes the user has no control. If there's network level blocking, there simply isn't the option to turn it off. Can't remember the site I saw it on, but I prefer the approach of having big blue squares in the ad spots reading "buy our sub to remove these"
@ArfonJ > A lot of the problems around drugs are caused by prohibition and strong enforcement. It just doesn't work. I think prohibition kills a lot of people unnecessarily
👏This man speaks the truth... legalise and more importantly *regulate* and you'll save a lot more people
@mapetitech0u@MalwareTechBlog Because they're making him live in a foreign country (at his own cost) on the basis of accusations that he contends he's innocent of. Temporary legal status doesn't seem unreasonable, given he's been made a subject of that same system
@WhiskY68892890@NODEfather _allegedly_ he was told the cash he was receiving was from selling drugs. He then received more $ than the value of the BTC he returned, so he's being done for laundering and operating an unlicensed money business. Morgan disputes he was told it was for drugs though, so *shrug*
@ganais_anais@brook2_jonathan@WillBlackWriter Or perhaps they're just a prime target for it. They go out and do this kind of thing, and then put it on the internet for all to watch. No conspiracy needed, just a pair of morons effectively doing the prosecution's work for them
@brook2_jonathan@ganais_anais@WillBlackWriter Read more. That's literally what they did. Got the wrong guy and tried to destroy his life. But, looking at your profile you're probably beyond reading anything but Breitbart.
@brook2_jonathan@ganais_anais@WillBlackWriter But, you're right in that they'll almost certainly use their own portrayal of it to try and further push their message. They're fundamentalists, just like the terrorists they claim to be trying to protect us from. Makes it more important to make sure people know the truth
@brook2_jonathan@ganais_anais@WillBlackWriter Although there are many claiming its a nothing, its not. Put photos of an innocent man on pamphlet calling him a pedo and posted them to all his neighbours. And turned up and shouted abuse through his letter box before putting the whole thing on the net. Nothing? Please
@brook2_jonathan@ganais_anais@WillBlackWriter Have you looked at what they were done for? Religiously aggravated... wait for it... harassment. The only people claiming it was for speech alone are Britain First supporters.
@ganais_anais@WillBlackWriter Probably because they went out and harassed a bunch of innocent people. Have you actually read why they're in court in the first place? It's not for speech, but for their actions
@thefilmexciter@MGOUFC2 Because the entirety of the British Police Force only ever work on a single case at once, you know. They've been tied up investigating this for a while, and will be looking into reports of non-standard banana's next.
@chrisowen1706@cat303 Would you defend my right to turn up and shout it through your letterbox like they did though? Would you defend my right to tell your neighbours and family that you're a rapist, because I actually thought you were someone else?
These two weren't just expressing opinions
@dpd_uk I understand the weather has put you back, but if you're gonna keep delaying something that needs a signature by another day, at least let me change the address it's delivered to...
@MGOUFC2@HarveyMcKenzie1 Except that's not all they did. They misidentified an innocent guy and harassed him. Costing him his job, his wife had a stress-related miscarriage. Part of the reason we have a legal system is to prevent idiotic cunts like those too from making mistakes when they try and lynch
@BBCRoryCJ I don't see anything there about how long updates should be available for. That's a *big* weakness. Forced updates sounds good on paper, but has issues. It's not unheard of for devices to accidentally get bricked by forced updates. Should be optional (to the user)

@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Perhaps then, this will lead to the next generation being more like me. In which case, we should probably all be very, very afraid :D 4/4
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Being straight, I didn't have to deal with identity issues in quite the same way (not that the average teenage boy doesn't still have some). But attempts to block access to porn did not go well. Actually, in some ways the school's attempts at filtering probably led me into IT 3/4
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Sounds pretty laughable really. But, on the other hand, it was (unknowingly I suspect) and indicator that porn may not be representative of what you should expect in real life. So the lazy bugger actually covered a topic that I think *is* important to discuss. 2/4
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Agreed, it needs to be dealt with early, but with appropriate care. When I was @ school, one of the sex education lessons we got: all the boys in one hall, and a male teacher telling us that no matter what porn we've seen, it just isn't possible to please 2 women at once 1/4
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Still, in the long-term, it may prove to be a good thing if it leads to greater awareness of privacy and online safety. Might even start offering a VPN service myself, as it's likely to be a growth market until this madness dies down. 7/7
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek As you say, it's only going to get worse, too. I know it's more a US politics thing, but it's curious how it's the right who use the term 'snowflakes', yet it tends to be more the authoritarian right who seem to want every thing walled off in case someone sees it. 6/7
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek It's not even like kids having access to porn and filth is particularly new. I had ample access when I was young, including to 'extreme' stuff. It's ultimately an educational issue and blocking (and driving underground) makes things worse, not better. 4/7
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Unfortunately, the Gov has already taken aim at "extreme" (by their definition) porn. There's now lots of stuff that's entirely legal to do which now may not be legal to film. So much for having an open and co-operative society 3/7
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Had they done nothing, then it's "just the internet". But once you start blocking one thing, people decide it's your responsibility to block anything that they don't like. It's a very bad path to have started down, especially in a country where papers find drama to profit off 2/7
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Yup, there's also been a lot of educational stuff helping people come to terms with their sexuality blocked. Underblocking leads to faux moral outrage, but overblocking will eventually result in a broken society IMO. And the Gov have shouldered that responsibility 1/7
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Yeah, it's absolutely ripe for abuse. The sad thing, too, is each time something passes it makes it a little easier for the next one. Death by 1000 cuts and all that. By the time most people see the danger, it may well be too late.
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Indeed, as once the apparatus is there, it's ripe for misuse. Even if you actually trust the current gov (I don't), there's no way to know whether the next government will be benign or malignant. In fact, many of the arguments against the Investigatory Powers Act apply here too
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Exactly. And sadly that same voter base will also listen to the politicians and blame MindGeek when their porn habits inevitably leak, completely ignoring that the very idea is stupid. If you look at some of their policy statements too, I'm not sure even the gov expect it to work
@KathRella@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek There's a big element of "must be seen to do something" involved too IMO. First we had the ISP level filters, but those (apparently) weren't enough and locally installed stuff is "too hard to use"...
As you say, those who aren't aware enough are going to get phished
@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Adults will have their details phished by lookalike sites, with an increase in identity theft likely (IMO). And that's all before the first big breach happens.
Frankly, if it wasn't so serious, the whole thing would be a joke. end/
@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Though that's not going to happen until the MPs fapping habits start leaking (and believe me, they will). In the meantime, kids who choose to use Tor to bypass will be exposed to far worse stuff than they'd easily stumbleupon on the clearnet. 5/
@MylesJackman@BBFC@mindgeek Personally, I won't be registering for AgeID or any similar system. I'll stick to sites which don't comply, and connect via VPN where necessary. Hopefully the sites that stand up for privacy will gain massive market share and the government will abandon this insanity 4/
@MylesJackman@BBFC Ultimately though, @BBFC and the Government will deny all responsiblity when it happens and blame @mindgeek for not securing their systems. Every single victim of the breach will be forgotten as the responsible parties pass the blame. 3/
@MylesJackman@BBFC Whilst they didn't create the law, it's absolutely foolish to think that this is all going to be OK. Mindgeek's properties have a history of being pwned, and there's no reason to believe AgeID will be any different, especially as it's going to have a huge target painted on it 2/
@MylesJackman It's strange that @BBFC always focuses on the censorship aspect in their replies. Whilst censorship is a concern, the immediate concern is the massive invasion of privacy and the near 1 probability that this data is going to leak. And will still have no effect on kids access 1/
Jesus christ, this doesn't look _at all_ like a corrupt leader in a dystopian world trying to claim their's is the right way.
There's nuts, and then clearly there's @DLoesch several steps beyond that. It basically sounds like a fucking terrorist propaganda video https://twitter.com/NRATV/status/970390204337893376
@Tim_Pilcher The sad thing is, some of us have been shouting about this kind of behaviour for over a decade. It's always 'small' things to begin with, like coopting Cleanfeed to block torrent sites. Thin end of the wedge and all that.
@Release_drugs Whilst still an improvement, what @dianeabbott_mp has done is identify ills of the WoD but failed to address them. Without legalisation, the black market will still be in control of the supply chain with all the problems that entails. Will just be treating some of the symptoms
@Bojan_Perkov Presumably to save Conservative ministers from having to search Google for their fetishes from Parliamentary offices. That must be it, it's a way to bypass safesearch. Not like their stated reasons make any more sense after all, so must have been Damien Green's idea
My fairly mundane path to #infosec
1. Dad brought mac pro se home from work. Start of being hooked on computers
2. Started on, err, the other side of the fence. Honed red team skills
3. Developed some ethics
4. Went to work for the MoD
5. Moved to a MSP, then on from there
@mandville See, if you know a vuln affects the outdated version, my position is it's worth listing in the advisory either way - it may help trigger those users to actually come up to date. Normally you'll learn what it affects when checking when (and why) it was introduced
@mattpointblank@stevejalim Sounds like hell to me. All for thinking about health, but damnit if I want a Mars Bar I'm going to have a Mars Bar. And meetings on treadmills? Hate meetings as it is.
@Andrew_Tempest@OwenJones84@Jacob_Rees_Mogg They wouldn't phrase it like that, but it's not impossible to imagine. Look at when various tabloids switched from backing Labour to backing the Tories. One day they're 'nuts' the next they're the right choice. They've also not really been criticising Mogg
@Andrew_Tempest@OwenJones84@Jacob_Rees_Mogg This is the thing, it's currently quite hard to tell how anyone would do in a GE. Brexit was "unthinkable", as was Trump. If the pro-Brexit papers get behind him (as they surely would) he may do unnervingly well. I think, tho, if he won the ballot, it'd probably split the Tories
@oldbencjw@Tupp_Ed@simonwakeman Bear in mind though that Privacy Shield isn't actually an equivalent, and hasn't been standing up to examination too well. Just like it's predecessor, it's expected it may well come down at some point.
@Andrew_Tempest@OwenJones84@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Sadly (and inexplicably IMO) at the moment it does look like he has a lot of support behind him. Though, it might also (hopefully) just be a vocal minority
@Andrew_Tempest@OwenJones84 I think the idea of "President @Jacob_Rees_Mogg" could also be a compelling argument for keeping the monarchy. Not that it actually makes any real difference in terms of power nowadays (and that's a good thing)
@stuarthelmer@BriefLess@MitchBenn Yup, if anything it draws attention to the fact that there are people without heating because they can't afford it in a capitalist system. Almost like the right-wing favoured "let the market decide" is failing some people. I don't actually think it should be supplied for free tho
@Paul_Reviews@AlecMuffett@JonMillican@sweis@pr0zac Part of good security is assessing risk to try and achieve balance with usability, though in the context of that thread it might have been better to explain to Halifax exactly why they were wrong. Personally I'd say their risk assessment was (incredibly badly) flawed there.
@AlecMuffett Aye, though if they did most of us would probably be out of jobs as there wouldn't be other people's messes to tidy up :)
In this case though, depending on how you define Personal Information (I don't agree with everything the GDPR defines as such) it really is a design issue
@AlecMuffett The answer is fairly simple. Don't put other peoples personal data into a fucking blockchain, unless you need (and can actually justify) a permanent record
Great, so @TwitterSupport now requires Twitter for Android. Which of course wants to suck up all my contacts.
What's wrong with having a traditional ticketing system that's not reliant on the platform I'm trying to report an issue with?
@JackTheRipla@RSOSSL@Scott_Helme Unless the only response the server then gives you is a page telling you your private key is now compromised and needs to be replaced.
A bit like some of the old "password security checker" pages which did much the same thing to prove a point
@KeithBunting007@andybowen2009@Jacob_Rees_Mogg@linholden Mea Culpa is an admission of fault, it's decidedly not an apology. Usually an admission of fault is followed by an actual apology, sometimes even proceeded by it "sorry, my fault". Being an educated man, Mogg almost certainly knows this.
Wouldn't be happen if it were actually regulated rather than just left to the black market to 'handle': BBC News - Most UK cannabis 'super strength skunk' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-43196566
@AlexPaknadel@Nigel_Farage This is a man who once failed to notice the nuts on his car wheels were loose for so long that they came off while he was driving (they tend to make a lot of noise well before that point). Dim doesn't quite cover it where @Nigel_Farage is concerned.
@alexjbutcher@guy_herbert and worse, they're only just getting started, so if it looks like it's being done badly now, what's it going to look like a few years down the line?
@doney A mixture of apathy and ignorance really. More the latter in the case of the politicians, but no-one stood up to fight it until too late. Crying "Think of the children" does tend to stop people opposing it, just as "the terrorists are..." does
@VitalVegas But no complaints that @Budweiser still claim their product is actually beer? Got excited at the mention of "Beer Park" then saw the branding, then saw that's "Paris" in Vegas and not, well, Paris
@adambanksdotcom@Glinner Fairly clear from the effort they're putting into smearing that they view @jeremycorbyn as mire of a threat to them than they want to let on. Mind you, given the record of this conservative govt they should probably be scared of anyone able to form cogent sentences
@MalwareTechBlog Tell that to the barrel on my front door lock, it seems to have a habit of randomising the tumbler positions and refusing the key. Would almost be understandable if it wasn't less than 18 months old
I should probably add to this thread - generally, self-prescribing is foolish. You have no unbiased medical oversight of suitability or dosage. However, in the UK with #medicinalcannabis there's no other choice because you cannot obtain the help of a trained medical professional
@Richardfreeusa@realDonaldTrump@FoxNews Not saying you're definitely wrong, but take a look at how long it took with Nixon. A year really is small fry, it's far too early for either side to be crowing victory - especially as Mueller hasn't exactly come up empty handed
@MrPeteMUFC Nice
Weird thing is, I saw #MOTD trending tonight and went straight to Message Of The Day, but whenever I had to edit it on a box, I think Match Of The Day. Guess that's what beer does for you :)
@pipehitterz Something you configure on servers (/etc/motd) - shown whenever someone logs in. Usually to say "Don't screw with this setting, it's stupid but deliberate"
Also, cc @sandyofipswich
You get a mention by name towards the end, please read it and think about following the advice. If nothing else the staff at @IpswichHosp deserve some recognition for the hard work they do. I might not have got the outcome I wanted, but they really tried
@CllrLawrie@sandyofipswich@PaulFlynnMP He's from my neck of the woods. Absolute fucking disgrace, may you get stuck in copdock, then on the bridge on the way home @sandyofipswich. Be happy to meet in person and explain to you what you've just blocked and how it impacts people
@Tucker5law Even when armed response went in, they went into each room as groups of at least 4. Whats one man with a handgun going to do (other than die)
Also, not sure Trump actually has a grandmother, being one of the lizard people.
@SteveTransform@Release_drugs IIRC, at one point they also used the fact that patients didn't like Sativex (because it was insanely rough on the throat and gave a much harsher opiody brain fog than herbal) as a reason for not pursuing further. Despite continued feedback that patients found herbal beneficial
@AlogoAgogo Do you have mandatory minimums for possession of unlicensed firearms? Here in the UK it's 5 years (though increasing to 10 has been discussed). Means simply being caught with one results in serious punishment (though custody rates have been falling as courts have some discretion)
@CarThrottle No @volvocars don't do that for feck sake. You've got a good product line as it is, don't dilute your focus it on trying to compete with companies that attract a completely different customer base
@Jeffrey_Levy@jenwieczner So he sent 9,500 worth of BTC to stay under the limit and allegedly kept the difference. So guessing they'll probably try and claim it looks like he knew and kept a 'cut' as a way to strengthen their claim he was knowingly laundering.
@archangel9605@debaser996@ColumbiaBugle@realDonaldTrump@NRA Have a look at the controls in place before someone can get an abortion. If you really want to try and equate them, then maybe similar controls should be in place for people buying firearms? The "death" of some isn't a valid excuse to ignore the deaths of others in any case
@realDonaldTrump Until the underpaid, overworked, stressed and armed teacher snaps and executes 50% of their class. If you're even thinking about arming them, you're going to need to look at those issues too.
@hackerfantastic The pre-release status discussion on there is just as scary as the bug itself :( Let's just announce pre-releases on the blog (without mentioning the PR status) and don't tag as being pre-release.
I fucking hate Node
@backstagebrdway@EdKrassen@PattyArquette Nice, especially as it fits perfectly into the "let the market take care of itself" approach that GOP are seemingly so fond of.
@iNPUTmice@thegrugq > And what does the sender know about *my* security needs?
The sender knows about their own needs though. They may be willing to risk sending you something but want 2 try and minimise the risk of your poor security hygiene later implicating them. There are better ways though IMO
@captbaritone Admittedly it's a step away from pure CSS, but you could use something like this - https://css-tricks.com/random-numbers-css/ - to add a cache buster to the URL. The logger would still be in CSS (so somewhere most people wouldn't check). No help if JS is disabled, but avoids cursory audits
@StopFundingHate Being called a political zealot by the Daily Mail... that's rich. Also not seeing them being censored. Seems their spokesman speaks as much bollocks as they print
@Earl_Tracey@C_M_Writes@mazman11@AndyRichter If you want to find out the hard way that your knowledge is outdated, feel free, but do try not to take everyone else down with you
@Glinner I was kinda looking forward to watching him represent himself, especially after how well his attempt to get access to attourney's eyes only documentation went down with the court
@Conservatives@EEF_Insights They seem to have quite liked him. Not so much the hacks trying to push Tory smears on him though. Looks like the @Conservatives continue to lose touch with whats going on in the country
@cromulentjosh > It doesn't deal with the powerlessness people feel.
The problem is, Brexit is unlikely to help with that either. At least not the way it's going, with corporate/financial interests pushing for hard-out so that regulations can be stripped/worked around.
@BBCNormanS But I thought they were taking our jobs? At least, that's what I keep hearing. Now we want to ensure they can continue to take our jobs? Almost like Brexit is complete and utter bollocks even without the shambles.
@C_M_Writes@mazman11@Earl_Tracey@AndyRichter The problem, as you probably know, is that those sort of conversations don't seem to be happening. There seems to be an assumption that any kind of control is a slippery slope with all guns gone at the end of it
@C_M_Writes@mazman11@Earl_Tracey@AndyRichter Yeah, the problem is, where do you draw a line (if it's even possible to do so). I think that's where most people struggle (and I don't claim to have the answer either). Is an AR-15 OK, or is it too much? Would capacity limits be better? etc
@C_M_Writes@mazman11@Earl_Tracey@AndyRichter Yeah, I'm not sure your (metaphorical you) AR-15 is going to be much use against a high flying reaper. It is the stated reason for the 2nd, true, but realistically it's probably significantly less help than it was. Point on the self-defence front was RoW has fewer shootings.
@C_M_Writes@mazman11@Earl_Tracey@AndyRichter You know, in a lot of countries, when applying for a gun license, if you utter the words "self defence" it's a rejection. On the global scale it's not a normal reason. Hunting, fine. Tyranny? You're up against drones, AH-64's etc. Very best of luck with that, AR-15 or not
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews That'd be because he's the 43rd man. When you talk about the 44th man its Trump. Reset your abacus and try again. But you're right, I'm done, if you want to continue learning to count you'll have to go to night school. Maybe push for better school funding for the next gen tho eh?
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews And a man is a distinct unit. Whether you call in man, american, person there have been 44. You simply said "the 44th" without specifying either measure or position. There are 12 men on a soccer team even if one is subbed and then subbed back on, though 13 players were fielded
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Given that a president has to be an american, and there have been no female presidents, in this context they are. Especially as you can't list 45 men who have been POTUS without having to count one twice
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Agreed, no legal requirement to publicly release the docs (in either case), just interesting times with some slightly odd firsts, but with Trump involved in each. Wonder what else he has in store
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Trump seemed to care, he ran with the Birther line from 2011-2016 from what I can see (then admitted Obama was born in the US). First president compelled to show birth cert followed by first (since the tradition started) to refuse to show his returns.
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Ok, so it was a poor metaphor, particularly as a team may consist of different players yeay to year. Point remains though, 45 presidents, 44 americans have served as president
@Adam76518844@electronspear_s@AnnDevlin14@FrankP1951@FoxNews Well quite. Obama's measures probably wouldn't have helped in this case but it's not a good look to be blaming mental illness having been the one to rescind measures designed to keep guns away from the mentally ill.
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Trump wasn't exactly silent either ;) Tho I think we'd both agree that Hillary would probably sell her own grandmother to make a dime. Hell, probably for the possibility of maybe one day getting a dime
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Indeed, and how many clubs have won it? They're distinct numbers, just like there have been 45 presidents and 44 men have served as president
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews 2 presidents, yes. Still 1 man. Like I said several tweets back. I assumed your followups were taking us on an interesting tangent, but it seems you misunderstood what I said. Which is basically what you just said
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Bit like there was for the birthers? It's out there if you wanna find it, but I'm not going looking when not near a charger
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews So there are 12 superbowl wins listed there. 12 champion teams, but only 3 teams (or clubs if you prefer) have won in that subset. Team's a bit more nuanced ofc as you might have different members
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews No, he was the first. But there was also no formal change in administration which is what seems to count. Even then tho, if Trump were to go Dem next and win, he'd still be pres 45. Like I say, it's inconsistent
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews On phone so you'll have to search around. You'll likely find it mixed in with the whole "was he sworn in properly" stuff. Suspect Trump probably had something to say too
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Except I said 44th man. Which implies human being. Put it another way, how many superbowl wins have there been? Now, how many teams have won the superbowl?
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Ok so a wild animal breaks into the building. Does the news report multiple quarterbacks dead or one man? Though he could be a QB for multiple teams (not that it'd happen)
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews It's because there's been no break in continuity. Tis a bit weird though but seems to be because they felt you couldn't have pres 22, pres 23, pres 22. Whereas a 2 termer just maintains status quo. Bit inconsistent really
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Technically you could but it'd be gross. They still count, but if Peyton Manning died you wouldn't say "we lost two quarterbacks" would you?
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews 2 presidents, 1 man. Your right it's not hard. Inaugaration wasn't exactly empty it's more his "more than obama" claim I was referring to. counting each twice might be a bit harsh tbf but then so was his claim the kids shouldve chased the authorities more
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews And how many quarterbacks are listed in those 2 listings. It's not 2 is it? You can dig your abacus out to check, I'll wait
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews See, most people would see the difference without that qualifier. A man is already qualified as being a seperate entity to another man. But, if you want to count people twice, you're in good company. Seems Trump did it with his inaugaration attendance figures (several times..)
@dontsaythattome@lloyd_dennis8@garrethhayes@mrjamesob That's also part of the problem. Lot's of complaints about EU rules having elected people from an anti-EU platform as representatives. Unsurprising that UK doesn't feel well served when we've been sending MEPs who won't engage
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews List me 45 men that have been president then. A man is a finite object, if you put those tennis players in a room, how many men are in that room? 3rd win but still only the one man. Just like if Clinton had won she'd be the 1st woman and 45th president (tho we might all be dead)
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews But the 44th man, like I said originally. Never disputed trump is 45th incumbent/president. Guessing you learnt to read in a republican state then?
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews So 44th man then. Cleveland didn't exactly duplicate and become 2 men did he? You seem touchy about this, yet you call dem's snowflakes?
@teslaman3025@FoxNews@realDonaldTrump Not that previous presidents are completely innocent, of course, but @realdonaldtrump is the one on the driving seat atm, so it's on him to try and improve things. Keeps telling us he's brilliant, yet hasn't come up with anything but vague distractions and self focus?
@teslaman3025@FoxNews So as much as @realdonaldtrump might want to blame mental health, although it's a factor, he and the republicans had a hand in screwing that part of the system too. Best bet would be to try and fix rather than squabbling but can't be enacting anything dem-like
@teslaman3025@FoxNews But, the gun does generally require a person to operate it, yeah. If the health system was less fucked up it might be easier to identify the mentally unfit. That needs better healthcare access though, which obamacare was a step towards but y'all didn't like it
@teslaman3025@FoxNews Go on then, entertain us and explain how you kill 17 people in 10 minutes with rocks, and without being taken down yourself. All give you and advantage but require a proximity to the victim that firearms don't. Closer you are to the victim, the more risk your rampage gets ended
@RightFreeSpeech@MisterAleem@FoxNews Unfortunate response. As someone pointed out above, Trump is the 44th man to be president because a previous served non consecutive terms and is counted twice. So, I agree with you entirely
@AnnDevlin14@FrankP1951@FoxNews Well he did try to restrict access to firearms for the mentally ill. That was rolled back by someone though, I wonder who....
@InfoSecHotSpot Tho it looks like if you're on 7.x they won't update you to 8, so you're still vulnerable until you manually install 8 (no fix in the 7 branch). So they fixed the issue, didn't tell anyone and continue to offer the vulnerable branch for download AFAICS
@Philip_Ellis You know what they say about those who talk about this sort of thing most too, they tend to eventually turn out to be very closeted themselves.
@Mikel_Jollett Interestingly, if you look at some of those (entrenched power, corporate interest and propaganda in particular) they can almost be aligned with "drain the swamp" as espoused by @realdonaldtrump, so the GOP should really pull their finger out and get onboard. Course, they won't
@stevebrookstein@frosted_north@Bedsboy@oojiebaflip9 No-one campaigned for it to be banned. They just pointed out to various companies that as 𝑐𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑠 they weren't happy with the money they spent then being used to pay the Daily Mail for advertising. Some of those companies agreed that it doesn't align with their views.
@EsserZed@w13rdo@thetomzone@Glinner Yup, or the same 64 yr old with ailing eyesight takes a shot at a perceived threat but under the stress of it all misjudges and kills one of their own students. There's no way I can look at arming teachers and see more benefit than risk (other than to the profits of arms dealers)
@MalwareTechBlog Thank fuck it's not just me. Also find it weird on Reddit when Americans are talking about their pension "should I set up an IRA?" Like, fuck no
@AlecMuffett@arstechnica Its definitely badly written, with a clickbaity title. But at it's core it does at least (if breathlessly) describe the mechanism the backdoor uses. Just a pity it makes it sound like that's how they got in rather than being a fairly routine bruteforce
@youthdemand@JamieRoss7@_Alielizabeth At least not between these agents and Trump. Doesn't rule out the possibility of a multi-pronged approach by the Russians to compartmentalise and maximise chances. All I'm saying is it may be a bit soon to crow victory. Let the investigation wrap up first
@youthdemand@JamieRoss7@_Alielizabeth Might just mean links haven't been publicly disclosed yet and are still under investigation. Might also be there are no links. Funnily enough, these investigations aren't something that happen overnight.
@CarThrottle We've already had it for years on Bikes, with reasonable success. No good reason why a 17 yr old should be limited to 33bhp on bike but can drive any size/power of car they can insure. If done right, probably a good idea
@DHLexpress@RufusHound@RichardHammond So you're saying you're Amazon's new way of getting Hammond around without the risk he'll have to stop at a hospital for a few weeks on the way?
@etty29@StopFundingHate@Tarothead@QuornFoods Given they exist to serve veggies - people who often refuse meat because of animal's rights, you'd think they'd be quick to correct this. Animals have rights but gays don't?
@Dejan_Kosutic It's an odd choice of term for it though. Inserting any kind of backdoor into encryption is patently irresponsible, whilst securing it to the very best of your ability would be the responsible thing to do.
Perhaps they should be campaigning for "Irresponsible Encryption"...
@johnsonboro@DanKaszeta They're clearly making Something from Nothing
*ba-dum-tsk* thanks, I'll be here all night (or at least until the Sharia police descend and beat me)
@PhilStubbington@ShappiKhorsandi@realDonaldTrump he was clearly desperate to try and stop anything like it happening again, but blocked the whole way. Watching @realDonaldTrump wiggle, worm and lie on the other hand just induces anger. He's actively contributed to the issue, and just makes excuses and tries to divert dialogue
@PhilStubbington@ShappiKhorsandi@realDonaldTrump What makes it even sadder of course, is knowing a good proportion *are* trying to prevent it. But they're obstructed, mocked and filibustered the whole way by a shower of money focused sociopaths. Watching Obama post Sandy Hook was heartbreaking 1/2
@PhilStubbington@ShappiKhorsandi@realDonaldTrump Good reading, tho I doubt most (who need to be) would be convinced by it, on the basis that it disagrees with their beliefs. Plus Orange Boy called NYT fake news, so it clearly can't be believed. It really is sad watching a nation do precisely nothing to prevent their kids deaths
@TheRegister Isn't that just what everyone feels when UK govt start talking about anything digital or *shudder* start prepending the word cyber to anything and everything?
@PhilStubbington@ShappiKhorsandi Not to mention that it was @realDonaldTrump who rescinded the Obama era rules designed to restrict access to guns for the mentally ill. Can't have any obama stuff hanging around though, Trump is sure he was a Kenyan spy or something
@sabnetltd@briankrebs@seanieb For many theres a big lack of clarity on what the rules mean, so just like with Health and Safety they err on the side of caution. GDPR is a big change though, especially in terms of enforcement remedies
@sabnetltd@briankrebs@seanieb Part of the problem is no1 wants to be the test case, so no1s going to take the chance initially. CGNAT isn't that big a thing in the EU (for fixed lines, mobile different). That said, most IPs are dynamic so tracking by that alone isn't much use. Other techniques also covered
@sabnetltd@briankrebs@seanieb The other thing to keep in mind is the new regs _have_ come about as a result of the wanton over/misuse of data by some. Extreme as some seem they're not pulled out of thin air, but as a response to observed and perceived issues. We tend to expect higher levels than in the US
@mandville Should prob add, that 100 was for somewhere that was manned 24/7, so there wld be occasions that you're on night shift and the only first-aider on site. Prob increases the rate a little
@briankrebs@seanieb Not communicating example IPs is odd though. IP addresses are covered by GDPR, but still seems an odd position. Redacting nameservers is insane though, one NS query against the domain would fetch the information. I use whois to report issues but won't miss it too much post GDPR
@briankrebs@seanieb Not all registrars are equal tho. Nominet (UK registrar) did some fairly unfriendly stuff a while back removing privacy protection with no notice. Name/Address data totally should be covered and whois is a casualty of that. ICAANs total lack of preparation is the real concern IMO
@AlecMuffett@guy_herbert@DCMS FWIW could easily take me > 72hrs to realise. Tend to be incredibly busy so 'side-projects' sometimes have long hiatus. Quite possible I cld inadvertantly find a way to deanonymise & not notice for a couple of weeks. The potential consequences reduce likelihood of disclosure IMO
@AlecMuffett@guy_herbert@DCMS "just doing our civic duty in accordance with the law - all notifications were well within 72 hours (in fact it was in negatives)".
They really wouldn't like it, but if your choice is doing that or risking having to make a court appearance because it took you a week to realise..
@guy_herbert@AlecMuffett@DCMS I've no doubt they'll use that excuse, particularly as it'll help them excuse some of the NHS data selling they've been so keen on.
@guy_herbert@AlecMuffett@DCMS It reads like they started to give it some thought then decided it was hard work and gave up. Only having to tell the ICO is good, but 72 hours still isn't enough. At best ICO will be overworked with 'just in case' reports that end up going nowhere but cover researchers arse
@micahflee Seems a bit put out that his lawyer would bill for his time, even just to give press interviews too. Has tones of those crappy customers who say "we want you to provide X, but won't pay because think of the exposure you'll get because of us". Of course he's going to bill...
@alison23761284@WestmonsterUK You seem to have picked 3 prime examples of places where we definitely don't want some feckless idiot who doesn't even want to be there in the first place. You think having 'troublesome yoof' forced to teach the next generation is a wise move? Stop and think... not gonna go well
@UltimoTiger1989@MrGruntfuttock@FunkMill3r@IanDunt It's almost like the first point of order following a result either-way should have been to identify which version the 'mandate' was for. Something that decidedly hasn't happened. Given the slim majority, you'd think a softer exit, but the Tories greed seems to have taken over
@DWPscumbags@LisaMillar@afshinrattansi If you buy into the idea there's a secret plan to take him to the US, why would this make any difference? Confirm he won't be handed then send him anyway. Not confirming something they shouldn't commit to is far more honest imo
@hackerfantastic To be fair to @AmberRuddHR it's not got the big 'e' or the word Internet on the icon, so how's anyone supposed to know what it does? If they think TBB is complicated, then I really don't hold any hope for any of the 'solutions' they think they're creating.
@thisisFoxx@AlecMuffett@DaveLeeBBC The logic doesn't seem to work for other topics/categories though, so I suspect it's not going to work here either, and comes at a cost of a bunch of false positives, and yet more censorship infra just waiting to be abused.
@AlecMuffett@thisisFoxx@DaveLeeBBC >The question the media should ask: is this acceptable?
No. Especially as it's just gonna drive a change of platform for the videos, it's OK to treat the symptoms (the videos) but the actual causes need effort too. Ham-fisted censorship is only going to play into recruiters hands
@Rachael_Swindon Might also be fewer unnecessary GP/Hospital visit if the Mail didn't insist on telling their readers, near daily, that something new has been "proven" to cause cancer
@happychappy44@jonnywoo34 It's a gamble that that's going to happen though. India has already said (more than once) that it'll want more access to the UK for it's people in return for trade, so that may mean fewer skilled workers (or maybe not). Other countries will almost certainly want the same
@MexicoRS78 GM flooding the car market might be an example there, given there aren't really any British owned commodity car manufacturers anymore (though it looks like we're going to pay Nissan etc to keep jobs here, so poor example). But u get what I mean, it's not without significant risk
@MexicoRS78 Problem is there's a lot of stuff we no longer do, so those are still going to need importing (in the short-term). If we intend to spin up new industry to fill the gap it's still risky, as that industry will be vulnerable to new deals with new partners.
@MexicoRS78 Problem is we all end up paying more for anything that has to be imported (in the short term at least). Only upside is our Govt chooses what to levy on, question is do you trust the current lot to get that right for us (instead of filling treasury coffers by hitting essentials)
@ProfEmer@bellaswoosh@BrexitResist@jonnywoo34@Kimmydoll49@David_Cameron@Conservatives The problem is, there may not be many left after to choose from. What really scares me tho is the likely Tory choices when May goes. Rees-Mogg or Rudd. Like choosing between a kick in the nads and a kick in the nads. If the Tories stay in we're even more fucked than we are now
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78@Conservatives@UKLabour The ability to do that hasn't helped much so far, and we've had to rely on the ECHR & ECJ as a safety net. If Brexit is the start and we also sort our MPs out, great, but not seeing any signs of that being the case so far. Certain MPs would be all too happy to fuck us all for £1
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78@Conservatives Some of those, for balances sake, incidentally, came to us courtesy of a @UKLabour government. The tories are a shower, but it doesn't mean Labour or the lib dems are any better. Unlikely to improve even if we're out
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78 As far as they can manage probs. As u can tell I'm not exactly a die-hard EU fan. But they do provide a safety net against the shower of shit we have in Westminister (and I don't just mean the @conservatives). Look at BT/Phorm, RIPA, DRIPA etc for just a few examples
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78 Quite possibly. If 26 states see a strong advantage but it's at the cost of the 27th, things could very quickly become very nasty. Whilst its the EU 'institution' we're dealing with, ultimately theyve got to get the deal past the majority of those 27, with each of their biases
@ownlifeful@arvidep@iamdevloper Mine told me to get off the computer and go outside (and ocassionally told me to stop generating huge phone bills with my dial-up). Glad I didn't listen.
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78 Now thats something I can agree with you on, the EU really isn't particularly interested in Ireland at all. I think there's some risk to NI/UK too, but the South almost certainly carries most of it. Potentially even another EU bailout in the making if the trade terms aren't right
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78 Also not suggesting we should just accept a "pants down and take it, you pay for the lube" type deal either. But negotiations require more than insisting you're gonna get X. We suggested transition period then changed our mind on the terms, not exactly a brilliant move
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78 It still only takes a few. I'm not for a second suggesting its _anywhere_ near as bad as it was. My point is, is it worth risking aggrating to protect Rees-moggs investments? Could still (maybe) have brexit without a hard border and maintaining some levels of trade with the EU
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78 ONH did, but unless I missed it NIra and Continuity continue with armed conflict (or plans of, anyway). Definitely still a positive step, but its a long way from being out of the woods
@MexicoRS78 Sure, the internal (to the UK) and widespread concern about the impact, raised before the referendum is an EU ploy because they're so very worried about trade. Clearly you've never been over there or read any history.
@GordWylie@MexicoRS78 Start with the buggers that have already been using them in the past 5 years. Add anyone they can recruit with their newly found "unfair" segregation of NI from Eire. If you're dismissing the possibility you're a naive idiot
@MexicoRS78 If we don't impose tarrifs and they do, the impact is on us not them (as it'd be more expensive for the EU to buy stuff from us). If we impose tarrifs then as a net importer, it'll cost every one of us more to use the stuff we import. In this case being a net importer is bad
@MexicoRS78 Only if _we_ impose tarrifs. If they impose tarrifs we pay to send stuff to them not the other way round. You say only they want a border and we want completely free trade. How are we going to enforce those tarrifs then? Oh, wait, we'd need that border after all.
@happychappy44@jonnywoo34 The counter to that tho is the wage inprovement could be short-lived. The Tories tend to be very business (read profit) centric so without the EU regs, businesses may be more free to disregard their workers. Not definitely going to happen by any means, but also a real possibility
@Barneystrouble@jonnywoo34 Out of curiosity, any additional reasons for your vote? Or on a very similar basis. There any reasons for your vote that you feel less strongly on? Also, whats your feeling on the path the govt seems to be taking? Too hard or too soft?
@oldenuffone@jonnywoo34 Even if that had been considered a possibility at one point, after the kicking she got at the snap election @theresa_may is unlikely to make that mistake twice. Which is a shame as it _might_ reintroduce some middle ground
@bellaswoosh@BrexitResist@jonnywoo34@Kimmydoll49 Part of the problem is that @David_Cameron was such a smug twat he was certain the vote would go his way, so it was a 'risk free' way to heal a @Conservatives division. Voters dont like a smug-faced liar though and we're now stuck with the consequences of his self-serving vanity
@MexicoRS78 And all that's still ignoring the socio-political effects of a hard border in Ireland. Could very well kickstart the troubles again. This is something that was pointed out from day one
@MexicoRS78 Yes, but if they decide to levy (say) £10 per kg of beef imported into the EU, you really think we're not gonna protect ours by reciprocate. Charges are for importing not exporting, so it's them buying from us (if they're charging), not the other way round
@MexicoRS78 Yes theyre worried about imports. We will be too. if they're imposing levies, we'll want to reciprocate those import taxes. Unless u think we'd let them sell into the UK tarrif free without a reciprocal agreement, we'll also run a border
@MexicoRS78 He didn't say we'd be paying for it. Its the very idea of a NI/Ireland border thats contentious and the Good Friday Agreement is largely predicated on there not being one. It's not (just) money in this case, its much much more
@Palayo@djosephh93@dido15 He's pointing out consequences that were pointed out by Remainers long ago, but shouted down with "they need us more than we need them". We basically had a transition agreement, then @Jacob_Rees_Mogg realised he'd get taxed and whinged about veto'ing rules in a bloc we're leaving
@ElliottCaines@asda All joking aside, never get an ironing board as a present for your Mrs. Even as a joke. I did once (for xmas), despite the proper presents with it, nearly divorce. Bought her a new bum once too, much better received
@davewiner@AlecMuffett It largely has sold itself, to the extent where you can _trivially_ get free certificates from an org backed by @EFF - @letsencrypt
There are edge-cases where I don't think "https all the things" is as appropriate an answer as some might like, but yours doesn't look one of them
@Cosmos_Cookie Worse, they're just going to shrug and get away with it when all that data inevitably leaks. They'll blame the Gov for mandating it, the Gov will blame Mindgeek for it leaking and nothing will happen. Meanwhile, everyone's fapping habits will stay sat on pastebin or the like
@_Malcolm_Tucker@theresa_may She couldn't give a fuck, too busy trying to avoid the inevitable Tory rebellion and her overthrow. Theyre like a bunch of particularly fucked crackheads, turn your back for 2 seconds and they'll do you over & empty your pockets in the process. Then they'll say it was your fault
@Uliron_72@warrenellis Presumably they'll narrow it down further by asking for and seeking people with a similar SSN, zip code, DoB and mothers maiden name
Did @SusanBaroness really try to claim that people giving data to private companies who operate *within* the law is an excuse for it to be OK for the Government to continue to operate outside the law, even after a court ruling?
Have we reached the bottom of the barrel?
@Blueacres11@JulianAssange Well, technically it is still valid in that it's been upheld so far. You'd think they'd mention though that he's still get 4 more points to argue, each of which may overturn the warrant, but it isn't #FakeNews that the warrant is still in effect (and so legally considered valid)
@stedanchick@tazbuckfaster@Jeremy_Hunt@mrjamesob It's possible. Easy to assume that @jeremy_hunt is an idiot, but he's consistently idiotic in a way you wouldn't expect a bumbling twat to be. Does suggest some sort of motive in screwing our services. Or perhaps he's just an idiot that thinks things through as best he can
@lucyk6992@awfullapses@Far_Right_Watch A bully and a thief huh? So if you're _actually_ racist (we are replying to *far* right watch after all) it's bullying to call you a racist? Not sure what you think I'm thieving either, given I'm paying (a lot) into the system they'd be pulling out of. If anything, I'm giving
@natewriter@OpenRightsGroup They do indeed (at least, the large ones). But apparently that's not enough, cos kids know how to bypass them, and might use connections without the filtering. Not that a georestriction changes any of that. On the upside, there are gonna be some VPN experts in the next generation
@Pat_the_Murph@kat_b_hawkins@BBCClick@BBCWorld Perhaps it's for modded cars to check for leaks in the NOS system ;)
I think I'd probably be quite happy to walk down the side of a traffic jam if it were filling the air with N20 though
@AlecMuffett@Motherboard_DE PGP has a similar back door. Get this, if you email me a PGP encrypted image, then I can totally decrypt it and then forward it onto someone else. Just like is happening here.
Really does sound like @Motherboard_DE don't think at all about what they write...
@natewriter@OpenRightsGroup Their intention for enforcement is that the BBFC will ask (not order) the ISPs to block specific sites. One of the risks they listed in their assessment was that the ISPs might just tell them to do one. Seems unlikely, but we can hope. Sadly, the next data breach will be a biggie
@Jambiwolf@JohnFielder1@Rachael_Swindon Yep, it'd probably have been portrayed has her painstakingly making sure that the figures she gave the public were correct.
@sithburns At least it means people shouldn't start trying to half-AMP their canonicals, giving us more AMP hell everywhere. That's something. Wish @google would hurry up an give us a client-side opt-out of AMP though, it's really really not for me.
@riskybusiness@nikcub Seems an incredibly odd thing to do. Even if you thought the chances of detection were approaching 0, getting picked up from your own home (and dropped to you parents to boot)? Trips in town maybe, but that's an otherwise terrible opsec failure
@vocnorth@CelineDayJardnz@KimSJ@mrjamesob@Sarah_Woolley There's definitely a certain irony in the fact that in order to protect some (in my experience) strong, dedicated and enthusiastic women, there seems to be a need to portray them all as weak helpless victims. _That_ is degrading
@CelineDayJardnz@KimSJ@mrjamesob@Sarah_Woolley Tackling the concerns you list is important, but you seem to assume that no-one could possibly ever want to do that job. We live in a wide and varied world where people want to do many things that neither you or I would find desirable. Your comments degrade them more than the job
@mrjamesob I've done work with models in the past, some of which others might at some point claim is degrading. Every one of them loves their job, & a lot of effort was put into making sure no boundaries were approached, much less crossed. It's taking their choice away that I object to
@mrjamesob Dunno about you, but I want my kids to be happy in their job, whatever that may be. What I don't want, is for them not to be able to do whatever they want because some tosser has decided they shouldn't be allowed "for their own benefit". It's not so much grid girls as what next?
@JohnFielder1@Jambiwolf@Rachael_Swindon The simple answer is it allows them to create drama, which can help drive up ratings and listening/viewing figures. Like you say though, it's completely unrealistic to rely on whether they can remember. Do we want anyone in the Brexit negotiations to act solely on memory? Fuck no
@VMwareBrendanR@bobbyllew Yeah, the @monsterenergy girls will probably be next to go, given they appear at MotoGP too. Lots of people out of jobs they love (I've worked with models in the past) for no good reason.
But I too find it odd when there's pretty women front and centre for no real reason.
@zerosum0x0@redteamwrangler See, I feel the other way. If I type something in the address bar, don't go "oh that doesn't look like an address, I'll google it" try and resolve the thing first so you're not telling Google about my network. The root of the issue tho, is the moronic idea to have an omnibar
@Neon_Knight23@DavidLammy@UKLabour Not just London either. Or Labour controlled arguments. It's almost like this Government's claims to be "tough on crime" is just talk, and they've been cutting, and cutting and cutting. Basically @DavidLammy's learning from @BorisJohnson and saying whatever shit comes to mind
@What_Ricky_Said@brendaneyre@EmilyThornberry More to the point though, most 16 year olds (at election time) would be eligible within the parliamentary term. So why shouldn't they have a say?
@What_Ricky_Said@brendaneyre@EmilyThornberry Work based education (such as an apprenticeship) is permitted from 16, so they're still out working. Not likely to be paying any tax on apprenticeship wages though (unless they've another means of income).
@InfoSecHotSpot In the UK, this is only going to get worse too. As of April, the Gov will require all providers to perform "robust" age validation on users. Result being that AgeID is likely to be used widely, so Pornhub's owner is going to be sat on a lot of identity data + browsing profiles
@Release_drugs@PaulFlynnMP The bit that has never made any sense to me is why it's the Home Office (concerned with policing etc) rather than the DoH that has the most say, and conducts the *ahem* studies into Medicinal use. Even after talking to the home office, it's not something that's been justified IMO
@mandville@sussex_police@RantyHighwayman@ibikebrighton Sounds pretty careless to me, even if they consider it wasn't dangerous in that specific instance, definitely has the potential to be. Bet they wouldn't feel nearly the same if it had been across the front of one of their guys though...
@mandville@sussex_police@RantyHighwayman@ibikebrighton A wave of happiness?
Also, as I'm feeling pedantic, it should be "a pedestrian". They're using it as an adjective "I was pedestrian", so if you circle that you're saying you were drab, dull or unimaginative. Might be true, but probably not that relevant to them
@mandville@sussex_police@RantyHighwayman@ibikebrighton If being really pedantic, you were driving, in that you don't actually drive a car, you ride in it (the engine drives it), but you do drive a push bike (at least, your legs do).
They probably expected you'd picking riding there though.
@samsonpups07@Peston Is it really actually thinking about your country if the end result is that everyone is worse off? Assuming that _is_ the result, of course. Seems more like you're trying to sound vaguely patriotic than actually making any logical sense. Not like leave didn't talk in £ either...
@MylesJackman@pandorablake > Due to the encrypted nature of AgeID's login credentials, such data cannot be exposed in the unlikely event of a hack
Because none of their properties has ever been compromised. Oh wait that's bollocks. Hello @brazzers - just the first example in a sad history of being owned
@spankchief@MylesJackman@pandorablake Worse than that, in their own review of the measures they considered that it may do more harm than good. One example listed was pushing adults n children onto tor where they may be exposed to more serious material they wouldn't otherwise have seen. Fucking marvellous logic innit?
@Jeremy_Hunt@IpswichHosp As someone who may well need to use @ipswichHosp, it'd be really nice if @Jeremy_Hunt could actually read the chart and see what it means. Then maybe stop fucking the NHS up in general too
@MylesJackman I look forward to members of @theresa_may's cabinet being amongst the data when it inevitably leaks. Which it will, and most likely quickly. Especially given MindGeek's record of being wide-open to attacks.
I won't be signing up to any, will just bypass their measures.
@persotc@InfoSecHotSpot@HandNik One of my friends had a copy of it, on 5.25" disks... later reboots of it (was it the xbox it was on? I forget) really didn't have the same charm though
@kursed@InfoSecHotSpot I don't think there's any harm in @apple providing tools to help with it. But, it definitely shouldn't be a case of relying solely on AAPL for it. Aid is an apt description, it should assist, not do the whole job for you...
Goes for our lot on this side of the pond too. Not jst a Tory thing either, @ukhomeoffice have been stubbornly ignoring evidence for many years. Denying alleviation for those who are suffering in the process.
It's time heads were pulled out of the sand for an adult conversation https://twitter.com/Release_drugs/status/952236300588888064
I expect @HP will probably release a statement soon saying that this is largely mitigated on their hardware. No way you could do it in 30 seconds with the time HP kit takes to POST
https://thehackernews.com/2018/01/intel-amt-vulnerability.html
All jokes aside. Not Good.
@WeaselFidget@frozenblueber@nevona Basically lying through their teeth then. How many decided not to abort, and what percentage of their userbase wound up with a bun in the oven?
@KimwithpanacheG@make_trouble@realDonaldTrump Londoners might be "stuck" with Sadiq, but the rest of us Brits are not. Nothing wrong with him tho, you just need to read a news source not aimed at retarded racists.
No jealousy, just a pity he isn't going to turn up and face the protesters. Cleary @readDonaldTrump is a pussy
@realDonaldTrump With what being said? Are you talking to yourself in your head again Donald?
One of the early signs of dementia is thinking you've said something when you haven't
@smurph24@irnbru 2b fair, I don't envy their task the marketing team has been given. Someone higher up decided to use sweeteners (I guess it's really because cheaper, so improves profit) and marketing have been given the crap task of telling us it's a good thing they're making @IrnBru undrinkable
@irnbru Except now it'll have aspartame in it, which effectively means I now can't drink it (or at the most, very, very little of it). What use is a hangover cure that'll cause headaches?
@irnbru Couldn't you have just released "Lesser Irn-Bru" and let those of us who like the original pay the sugar tax for it? Too much of certain sweetners give me a headache, aspartame being one of those.
Next time I say someone's really smart, I'm now going to be forced to clarify that I don't mean the way @realDonaldTrump thinks he's smart, but actually properly intelligent. Mind you the lack of the word "like" might tip them off.
@able2uk@flybe Sounds like a lack of planning by @flybe. Even if that weren't the case, why would you be so stupid as to actually blame the passengers??
@Phelpsilicious@MylesJackman Even if the civil service are explaining, they've no interest in listening. Must be seen to be doing something, even if that something is patently stupid and won't work. Career politicians for you I guess...
@MylesJackman So rather than dealing with the things that make it easier to radicalise someone we'll just pull more money into the treasury and blame someone else. What an absolute shower of fuckwits @theresa_may has lumped us with. Will take generations to recover from the harm they're doing
