If you think about it this is truly absurd reasoning - they say they want to protect children by introducing this scanning, of course not spy on people, but then politicians are excempt? Why, what could possibly be the reason?
They already openly reveal their true intentions by this excemption.
Well, statistically speaking like 1% to 2% of EU politicians will be pedos, so my guess is they don't want that to come to light and undermine trust in the government.
I agree with you, but I think this ignores the structural factors caused by corporations that lead to the election of this government in the first place (multinational corporations lobbying for NAFTA and the resulting deindustrialization of america).
"Speaking to the The Palm Beach Post at the time, Barry Myers said he supported the weather service returning to its “core mission … which is protecting other people’s lives and property” instead of spending “hundreds of millions of dollars a year, every day, producing forecasts of ‘warm and sunny.’”"
Also from the same article:
"He told ABC News in May 2005: “We work hard every day competing with other companies and we also have to compete with the government.”"
Ive heard a similar idea, from Hemingway.
"Learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it. I always worked until I had something done, and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day." — Ernest Hemmingway"
I really agree, and I also thinks it can be helpful to do something similar when taking breaks (have lunch/take a walk while leaving a failing test).
I second the video recommendation, mentor makes some of the better documentary style content on the app. the fact that it’s completely free makes it even crazier!
Yeah I like his content too, but I'm far from revering him this way (and I see a lot of comments like yours). By the way I also respect how good he is at monetizing this, however... Internet both as a technology and even more as a community was founded by scientists whom were a bit later joined by (also often same people were doing both) people doing and creating things non-commercially, as a hobby, because they simply enjoy them, and so on (I'm speaking mostly of Usenet newsgroups in the latter part, as the early form of that). I don't see how (consensually) sharing content for free is "crazy". That's just the way, the Internet way. Maybe it's just the demographic cohort of enjoyers of his content largely overlaps with the cohort of customers of commercial video streaming platforms which creates a feeling like that.
Ive had a similar problem to you, but I have mostly solved it by using the Outrun app (which is free and open source), and going into the settings and turning up the GPS smoothing. The setting is called GPS accuracy, and you can play with the settings a bit. I mostly run in central london, and it seems to work with the tall buildings here.
And very importantly, a TRNG is often not cryptographically safe and should never be directly used for security related use cases. Basically only be used to (re)seed a good CSPRNG (DRBG in NIST parlance).
Another benefit of a CSPRNG is vastly higher performance than most TRNGs can achieve. A TRNG often provide kbps birate. A CSPRNG can easily deliver Many MBps, even GBps.
Ive been using it on my laptop and phone. The phone version doesnt feel like it has enough polish yet. You can install it from the app store BTW, no need for a developer account. Ive been having problems with the app crashing, being unresponsive. However, the Mac version works 100% for me. I have ublock origin, bitwarden, bypass paywalls clean and sponsorblock installed. I havent noticed any issues and im very satisfied. I also really love the programable buttons feature, which let you define a button in the toolbar that runs some JS when you click on it (like a bookmarklet).
