They're European (Deutsche Telekom), which might be part of why they prefer to work that way.

Yup. I did a trial and their product came out on top, but their sales tactics were so aggressive that I went elsewhere. They were trying to call me 6+ times a day.

I'm getting about 10 hours on my M1 16" MBP running a JetBrains IDE and 8 Docker containers.

As far as I can tell, that feedback goes into a black hole. I've sent many corrections there, not a single one has been adopted, including ones where entire streets didn't exist (i.e. they exist on Maps but have never existed IRL).

In the city I used to live, they had to put signs up at the entrance to a street, warning people to ignore Google Maps. It tried to route people the wrong way up a one-way street, and the government had failed to get Google to fix it.

Yeah, the company I work for recently got acquired by a US corporate. I went from one ~15min stand-up call a day to 3-4 hours of meetings per day, all mandated by the US VPs. Our company has had to double our number of developers just to get the same amount of work done that we did pre-acquisition.

Qwant.

It's just a proposal by an academic. Probably intended to spark a conversation, as NZ is reviewing its privacy and data sovereignty law.

In case anyone doesn't know, Sky News Australia is their Fox News (same owner).

It really was off-putting the way the main guy was saying words like "this is so exciting" while having zero facial emotion and a dead look in his eyes. Felt like somebody was holding a gun to his head and making him read off a prompter.

Reading the suit, it is interesting that it is very much based around the fact that Quad9 already blocks resolution for "malicious" domains, and therefore already has a censorship process in place. Basically "you're already censoring, one more domain won't hurt."

Switzerland isn't in the EU. In this case it is a separate treaty which allows it.

The "almost-EU" countries (Switzerland, Norway and Iceland) have a treaty with the EU covering cross-border civil disputes, called the Lugano Convention. That gives the Hamburg court jurisdiction in this matter.

Does the Danish one not contain name etc? The idea was that you'd be comparing that against photo ID.

It is cryptographically signed, so creating your own QR code that would be accepted by the apps would be difficult without the signing key.

Even ignoring that though: including both the ID and detail allows it to work both ways. In official situations (e.g. at a country border) you might be able to validate against a server, but the local nightclub probably doesn't have access to a validation server.
