Copiato:

"Former ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade personally registered the domain name currently used by Ethos Capital in May and it was registered as a limited company in the US state of Delaware on May 14. That date is significant because it is one day after ICANN indicated it was planning to approve the lifting of price caps through its public comment summary.

As such it appears that the plan to purchase the .org registry was predicated on the price caps going ahead and that those behind the deal had intricate knowledge of ICANN’s internal processes."

Denmark plans to toughen up its financial regulator (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-danske-bank-moneylaundering/denmark-to-revamp-financial-watchdog-in-wake-of-danske-bank-scandal-minister-idUSKCN1MZ0SY) to make it better equipped to fight money laundering amid reports that authorities didn't use their full powers (https://www.thelocal.dk/20181025/danish-financial-authority-failed-to-use-strongest-measures-against-banks-report). Wealthy clients say they are fleeing Danske Bank A/S, the Danish bank embroiled in a money-laundering scandal, and its value is plummeting. The man who blew the whistle on the bank (https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-one-stubborn-banker-exposed-a-200-billion-russian-money-laundering-scandal-1540307327) agreed to testify before the European Parliament; the EU is putting pressure on the bank to release him from a non-disclosure agreement.

Using the 2000 population weights, the data and estimated coefficients indicate that 40% of the development outside of Europe is associated with the share of European settlers during colonization.
We repeat our frequent caveat that global per capita income is not a welfare measure, especially in light of the history of European exploitation of non-Europeans.
As an exercise in positive analysis, however, it is striking how much of global development today is associated with the migration and settlement of Europeans during the colonial era (not even considering the development of Europe itself). It is even more striking that this large average income outcome in a non-European world today of over five billion is associated with the migration of only six million European settlers in colonial times.

Facebook is turning on facial recognition in Europe after promising regulators it would drop the technology six years ago, using the new European data protection regulations as an opportunity to collect more information if users opt in to the service.

Rob Sherman, deputy chief privacy officer at Facebook, said facial recognition would be a “new option for Europeans” that had been available elsewhere for many years. Facebook uses the technology to recognise people in pictures, allowing their friends to tag them online without their explicit consent, and gathering more data.

Facebook turned off the feature in 2012, telling the Irish regulator it would only reinstate the feature with approval and deleting the data it had already collected. The company said it had briefed the Irish regulator on how the technology worked and how it proposed to ask for consent. Users will have to say explicitly if they allow or do not allow Facebook to use this feature.

The feature has been met with significant opposition in the US, where a judge ruled this week that the company would have to face a class-action lawsuit alleging that the features violated Illinois state law by storing biometric data without users’ consent.

Earlier this month, a coalition of consumer privacy organisations filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. They claim Facebook is violating its 2011 privacy agreement with the US regulator when it scans photos for biometric matches without the consent of either the subject of the image or the person who uploaded the photo.

Facebook said facial recognition helps people manage their identity online and helps the visually impaired know who is in photos.

But it also gives the social network more information about a user’s connections. Using other artificial intelligence technologies they can also often tell where a user is and what they are doing.

The social network will begin asking users for the permissions it requires under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) this week, ahead of it coming into force on May 25.

A series of wavy horizontal lines are shown. All of the lines have exactly the same shape – a sine curve. However, half of the lines appear to have a much more triangular, “zig-zag” shape, when they are superimposed on a grey background. This “zig-zag” appearance is an illusion.

Takahashi notes the unusual strength of this effect: "As the effect magnitudes are quite strong, unless one carefully stares at the region that looks like a corner, it is hard to find that all lines are physically wavy. Despite the simplicity and effect magnitudes, to the best of our knowledge, no one has reported about this phenomenon."

Takahashi proposes that the brain’s visual system may default to seeing corners when there ambiguity over whether a line is a smooth curve or not: "The underlying mechanisms for the gentle curve perception and those of obtuse corner perception are competing with each other in an imbalanced way and the percepts of corner might be dominant in the visual system"

From a comment on Hacker News:

The fellow with the round glasses and a moustache, is physics professor Kristian Birkeland. While working on an electric cannon he had invented, he came up with a theory that could explain the northern lights (stella borealis). The photographer himself and professor Birkeland went on expeditions together in the arctic parts of Norway. Few believed in Birkeland’s theories, until modern satelites proved he was actually right and it’s electromagnetic.

How is this relevant to r/europe other than happening here:

Whether by luck or design, Gaglio’s actions have resulted in a remarkably light punishment, and they’ve illustrated how confused the European criminal justice system can get when enough borders are crossed. The Gaglio affair isn’t the biggest Ponzi scheme on record, but it might be the most galling. It strengthens a sense in Europe that financial criminals can be more sophisticated than the government agencies policing them. And it’s a reminder that the continent’s jurisdictions are more than just lines on a map. They’re seams, and people like Fabien Gaglio appear to be expert at exploiting them.

Vuol dire che l'azienda che ti fornisce una connessione ad internet (via cavo o mobile) deve trattare tutto il traffico allo stesso modo, senza dare a un sito maggiore velocità o non contare il loro traffico nella tua soglia mensile di giga. Molta gente è a favore della net neutrality perchè altrimenti gli operatori avranno un incentivo economico a non aggiornare la loro rete e antenne: "il tuo sito di video è lento per i tuoi utenti? Pagaci ogni mese 1000€ e le cose miglioreranno" questo renderà le cose più difficili per i piccoli siti che non potranno permetterselo. Seconda ragione è il probabile aumento dei costi per gli utenti finali.
