19	:33	sl	The UK's Information Commissioner’s Office announced plans to fine British airways £183 million for violating GDPR rules in a 2018 data breach that affected 380,000 people. The ICO's investigation found that "poor security arrangements" led to the breach of of credit card information, names, addresses, travel booking details, and logins. GDPR allows for fines up to 4% of a company's worldwide turnover, with the British Airways fine amounting to 1.5% of 2017 revenue. British Airways has 28 days to appeal the ruling. British Airways says no fraudulent activity has been found on accounts linked to the breach.	https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/8/20685830/british-airways-data-breach-fine-information-commissioners-office-gdpr
20	:35	tm	Waymo began testing complimentary Wi-Fi for some customers of its Phoenix-based Waymo One self-driving fleet. Waymo also makes sure all minivans come with an installed child seat and are cooled to 72 degrees. This follows the addition of ad-free music streaming from Google Play Music for passengers, launched in April. Waymo One service is currently being trialed by 1000 users, in a 100-square-mile service area around Phoenix Arizona.	https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-selfdriving-waymo/waymo-tests-wi-fi-in-driverless-taxis-hoping-perks-can-route-it-past-rivals-idUSKCN1U3119
21	:39	sl	Researchers from Berkeley's International Computer Science Institute found up to 1,325 Android apps that were gathering data from devices after people explicitly denied them permission. The apps don't violate the permissions, but find other ways top access data such as gleaning location information from photos which are approved for access by the app or using WiFi to estimate location. In Google Q location information in photos will be hidden and apps wanting special access to WiFi must also get approval for location information. 13 apps accessed unprotected files from other apps to look for info like your phone's IMEI number.	https://www.cnet.com/news/more-than-1000-android-apps-harvest-your-data-even-after-you-deny-permissions/
22	:42	tm	Mozilla denied claims by the UK's Internet Services Providers Association that it plans to enable DNS-over-HTTPS by default in the Firefox browser in the UK. The system encrypts DNS requests so they cannot be intercepted by man-in-the-middle attacks which can hijack DNS to load malicious pages. DNS over https also speeds up browsing. The ISPA and the UK government have expressed concern that DNS-over-HTTPS would also get around ISP blocks on sites banned by the government for copyright infringement or blocked by ISPs at the request of child protection groups or parents. Mozilla said in a statement that "a more private DNS would not prevent the use of content filtering or parental controls in the UK." Firefox has included support for DNS-over-HTTPS since November 2018, but is not enabled by default.	https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/05/isp-group-mozilla-internet-villain-dns-privacy/
23	:45	sl	The Asahi Shimbun has an article talking about how Japanese car-sharing service Orix Auto found an unusually high number of people who rented a car logged zero miles driving. Other car-sharing services have noticed the same oddity. NTT Docomo found in 2018 that one in 8 of its car-sharing customers used ti for purposes other than transportation. So car-sharing service Times24 Co conducted a survey asking its users how they used their car rentals. Taking naps and making private calls led the way in non-driving uses along with, eating lunch, temporary workspace, storing bags when coin lockers were full, and recharging cellphones after the 2011 earthquake. Other less frequent uses were watching TV, getting dressed for a halloween party, practicing your rapping or singing, practicing English and facial stretches to reduce face size. Cars cost around 400 yen (close to US$4) for 30 minutes plus mileage. Unless you don't drive it for any miles.	http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201907040011.html

32			Meat grown from animal cells rather than harvested from a conscious animal is a real thing that is improving in scale. It promises to let us enjoy meat without the ethical, environmental and health concerns associated with livestock production. A study published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition tested public perception of different labels of this kind of food.
33			"labriculture" could be a great option for ravenous carnivores in the future, but the general public has concerns.

46			I used to do exactly what ubereats is offering. When I worked next to a few restaurants and got a 30 minute lunch break, I would commonly call the restaurant, place my order for a certain time, then sit down and have a nice lunch before heading back to work. Uber makes so much more sense, because I wouldn't have to even call; sometimes cutting out five minutes of my time. Honestly, since I started doing that for work, I have call the other restaurants a few times and placed orders before showing up, it's just so much more convenient. -Princess Willy
