04:34 darwin; i found it odd that UK Conservatives (and probably previously Labour) were defending/arming Israel while at the same time allowing millions of Muslims in... seems like a total contradiction... more recent Labour stopped arming Israel. For the record, I think Israel has the right to exist and defend itself, just what Western political parties are doing on these issues seemed self-defeating, etc.
04:38 schestowitz[TR2]; it is not a contradiction
04:38 schestowitz[TR2]; but even muslim or arab is extreme
04:38 schestowitz[TR2]; some can become
04:40 darwin; it's similar in USA--most Democratic presidents have supported/armed Israel while average members of their party might use the fake/propaganda term 'Islamophobia' and march for Palestine... like they don't have one coherent policy for what is or comes out of the region
04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; iran is not left
04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; iran is fundamentalist
04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; and it does not think highly of women
04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; what i learned in recent years is
04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; feminists have a real issue

04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; whgich typically means real feminists
04:42 darwin; yes. Maybe it's a generational thing... my generation and older grew up with family who were alive during WW2 and the Holocaust. Some younger--Millennials and Zoomers--only learn about it in school and don't pay as much attention
04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; but women who promote turning women into slaves of men
04:43 schestowitz[TR2]; or say women who don't want to compete with men in sports are evil
04:43 schestowitz[TR2]; both of these are anti-feminists
04:43 schestowitz[TR2]; they want to put women "back in the kitcheen"
04:43 darwin; two XYs fought for the Olympic "women's" boxing medal and I heard in some other sports it was similar

04:47 schestowitz[TR2]; "Between 1963 and 1979, the Iranian Women's Movement gained victories such as the right for women to vote in 1963, a part of Mohammad Reza Shah's White Revolution. Women were also allowed to take part in public office, and in 1975 the Family Protection Law provided new rights for women, including expanded divorce and custody rights and reduced polygamy. Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, women's rights have been restricted, and
04:47 schestowitz[TR2]; several laws were established such as the introduction of mandatory veiling and a public dress code for women.[3] In 2016, only 6% of Iranian parliament members were women,[4] while the global average was about 23%."

08:44 ciphrCat; transparency
08:44 ciphrCat; and the dutch version has for that: rechtmatigheid, behoorlijkheid en transparantie
08:45 ciphrCat; which means whoever translated the GDPR considered /fairness/ to equate with /behoorlijkheid/.

08:53 psydroid2; ciphrCat: "behoorlijkheid" is "decency"/"reasonability", but it's a word you don't really use in general in Dutch. I think "rechtvaardigheid" (justice/fairness) makes a lot more sense. And the translation is full of those kinds of mistranslations and even worse, as you've seen.
08:53 ciphrCat; linguee has nothing for behoorlijkheid, but context.reverso.net equates it to fairness most often, but sometimes decency
08:53 ciphrCat; ok

21:20 TR Bot; Tesla is promising to sell a humanoid robot. It could be the first of many
21:22 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi2: So much for the stock rally.
21:22 IsambardPrince; LOL
21:23 IsambardPrince; Continued falling today.

10 PM, August 7
22:00 ciphrCat; CrowdStrike, was requesting the immediate removal of the CrowdStrike logo from the parody site, or else Senk risked Cloudflare taking down the whole site.
22:00 ciphrCat; so, Cloudflare actually pushed the request.. or forwarded it
22:01 ciphrCat; interesting that CF ignored his reply and continued to threaten removal
22:02 ciphrCat; --- "corporate cyberbullies" taking down "content that they disagree with" and calling Cloudflare's counter notice system "hilariously ineffective." ---
22:03 ciphrCat; but actually it was effective
22:03 ciphrCat; the guy bounced from Cloudflare. So Cloudflare as a proxy bully worked to get him off CF and thus made CFs job easier
22:04 ciphrCat; that seems like a missed opportunity
22:04 ciphrCat; he should have stayed on CF to keep CF in a tough position. If CF were to pull the plug on that, there would be backlash and embarrassment
22:08 ciphrCat; "I have sympathy for CrowdStrike because it's probably a very difficult time for them right now," McSherry said.
22:08 ciphrCat; McSherry = EFF
22:09 lightbringer; people should stop using crimeflare already
22:10 ciphrCat; Apparently, Cloudflare never received either of Senk's counter notices, which is a problem since Cloudflare only allows a 72-hour window to contest a takedown notice.
22:10 ciphrCat; CF ignored him right up until CF was publicly embarrassed by Ars Technica
22:10 ciphrCat; then CF changed their tune
22:12 ciphrCat; "Please note that we would not take action to remove content in response to a trademark abuse report if you moved back to our hosting service and provided a legitimate counter notice of the parody nature of your website," Cloudflare said. easy for them to say after Senk was forced into a David vs. Goliath battle and started winning with the press on his side
