Yes, it's been part of the regulations in the EU, even before GDPR. Being forced to disclose in a timely manner ensures it can't be swept under the rug because they squint at the logs just right.

The QA team got folded into the main org a while ago. I'd be surprised if the person today in charge of the full test coverage has anywhere near the resources or weight to make an impact.

If your password is leaked, then you can still reset it. If your fingerprint signature leaks, you're out of options.

HANA in memory database that can serve both OLTP and OLAP workloads with sub second response times. The cost of the server is dwarfed by the licence cost.

It may be a GDPR violation (insufficient consent), we'll need a ruling to be certain. It may also be an antitrust violation (chrome is close to 60% market share in the EU).

To make this worse, in all likelihood the scalper was fake and it was not sold out. Ticketmaster will routinely pretend a venue is sold out when it's not and they're not shy of impersonating a third party either.

You should, because anyone that can compromise your phone will be able to get into your email.

From there it's a small step to reset passwords (SMS 2FA won't help here, as they also have your phone) to all online services you signed up for with that email.

The cynic in me thinks this is in anticipation of GDPR related challenges. Users that accepted a TOS are easier to track (at least, it's easier to mount a legal argument that some tracking and profile linking is ok) compared to users that never accepted anything at all.

next up: push for new standards that favor chrome over other browsers.

That would make some key stakeholders (in the military and govt) quite unhappy, leading to difficulties staying in control, leading to prison or worse for the top. It's gotten to the point that they need to cling to power.

They could, but they don't. Why is a bit of a mystery because in the long run this is destructive and it can't be that profitable.

I don't see any mention of security or legal concerns. Not all bugs can be identified by exceptions, exception frequency is not an indication of their impact, and in some cases stability is less important then correctness. Using bugs per session as the (only?) metric is a horrible way of doing product management.

That's only if UK's debt is in pounds and without provisions for currency fluctuations.

"The Miami-Dade Office of Consumer Protection said that as of July 1, 2017 it no longer “regulates complaints against transportation services such as Uber or Lyft,” and that any complaints should be addressed to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

The state consumer affairs department said it was not aware of the change and declined an interview request."

That's to access AMT. AMT is a module running on top of ME and is disabled by default.
