Thank you so much for reminding me! I had kind of given up but your comment prompted me to check again and it turns out Bandai Namco recently put all the original soundtracks on streaming. Na na na na na na na na …

It is not just company policies, this reflects the law across the EU.

Do you have a reference to this law? I researched it in Germany (where the incident happened) and did not find anything that prohibited it.

The applicable laws are at the national level.

Can you find any laws in any EU member state that prohibit photographing or taking videos of airline crew? I haven't seen any yet.

I thought parent was implying it would be some EU-wide data protection / privacy law, and I was just responding that, were any to exist/apply, it would be at the national level, and not any EU-wide law

Just a few destroyed satellites would likely produce enough debris to take out everything else in orbit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Chinese_anti-satellite_mi...

I quite like the way passports touch on this - the electronic part has a password; that password is made up of info from the printed data page - so you need both sets of information to validate it.

The ICAO standard for passport chips is really well done. Especially since you can read the photo from the chip itself.

Windows is too at this point; it’s just a little less obvious.

I think Jetbrains did that already; the Kotlin LSP server is derived from the (also open source) IntelliJ plugin
