> do your job adverts actually state at the top "we seek honest, optimistic, curious candidates with potential and communication skills?"

Why is stating what meta-characteristics you're looking for some sort of requirement for you? My job ad does say "passionate and talented", and I (always) reserve the right to interpret that any way I choose.

> It's entirely possible that they rejected him for a perfectly reasonable reason, though there's nothing to really imply that that is so.

Yes, exactly. There's also nothing I know of to imply it's not so either. I can't pass any judgement, I can't call it embarrassing, and I don't know if the question was irrelevant or dumb or fair & smart. If you do know it for a fact, then spill the beans. So far, nothing you've chosen to share addresses this factually.

> You don't know more than what he tweeted

That's what I've said from the beginning, and is precisely why I can't side with him.

Your argument is a false dilemma, you've made assumptions and jumped to the (incorrect) conclusion that because I don't side with @mxcl, then I side with Google. You've assumed that if I'm not with @mxcl, then I'm against him. Your incorrect assumptions only reflect on you, not me.

> To me, it implied that he was pissed at being asked irrelevant questions.

In my mind, that's not meaningfully different from what I said, other that you're claiming that "irrelevant" is absolute and objective. To make that claim, you need to know Google's side of the story. Since you know more than the tweet, tell me... what's the whole story?

> in a situation where you didn't really have enough information to form a judgment you instinctively sided with the large, powerful, faceless corporation and showed distrust of the little guy who made a great piece of software for free that people love.

You just admitted and rationalized your own bias. What justification do you have for continuing to talk about mine, which may or may not exist, given yours?

I suspect it will be the norm.

For any greenfield development, why would we develop it twice? We have to solve every business problem we have for the EU; why would we solve it differently, to address the same problems, elsewhere?

For non-greenfield development, why would we keep two codebases and sets of infrastructure around that we have to support? Better to consolidate. Especially given the positive word of mouth it would generate compared with "Yeah, we're not as careful about your privacy because you're not in the EU".

The -only- case where it makes sense to do something different outside of the EU is if there's a key bit of value that we literally can't capture in the EU due to the GDPR, and we want to capture it elsewhere. Now, that's still alarming (in that we could have the privacy haves and have nots), but I just don't know how common that will be, or whether companies would find it worth doing.

This is not usually very hard to check, depending on the sport. Professional athletes at specific positions have fairly specific body types that enable them to succeed. Ask them what sport and position they want to play, and check their body types against the prototypical player at that position.

I don't think it'll be fundamentally different than taking a black car for example or any uber for that matter. If you think you can dine and work in black car then you can in a self-driving car too, but I haven't seen that happening yet. There are challenges to that that are not just the fact you are not driving, like the fact that the car moves constantly, making turns, etc. are things that are not very friendly to a dining experience or getting work done.

Perhaps if there was a dedicated lane where self-driving cars would move slowly like a train that would be more plausible. Or maybe even freeway driving, no stop and go traffic though.

> People are so used to getting news and various services "for free"

Many people I know (myself included) pay for articles they read on the sources they choose.

It's the websites that copy the articles, mix the words a bit and republish that get into trouble and in my experience have the most problems with ad blockers. I don't think that's a bad thing.

Like others said here, if nobody wants to pay for your articles you either publish them for free or do something else with your life.

Good thing for Guns N' Roses that no one actually uses Google Shopping.
For people who're not technical engineers and without the knowledge to understand all the technical details:

- Does it make sense to make a phone that acts as a receiver (assuming the phone is outdoors), because it's one fewer device to buy and power, or does it bring down the cost significantly to have a fixed unit installed on your terrace?

- If we want to provide remote regions with Internet access, would you go with Starlink or O3b? Would your answer change if the requirement was affordable internet access, no matter the speed?

- Under what conditions can Starlink or O3b compete with terrestrial internet in cities?

Basically, I'm trying to understand the impact these programs might have on the world, not the technicalities.
That sounds fair, you would have a software lead that will be responsible for the software, then the management can't push him around to release fast, he would make sure to follow all the rules (we would need rules if those are not there yet, maybe NASA or airplanes industry has such rules).

US attitudes and logic about taxes are quite different, particularly in the last 30 years. In my mind, the main difference is the attitude about the role and benefits of govt - see the "you didn't build that" debate, that I believe would viewed as obvious in most European countries and yet was used as fodder for political attacks in the US.

Yeah, this is, frankly, one more reason why they need to be broken up.

Not all organisations will need to be compliant with GDPR. By that I mean, if your organisation only do marketing in, for example, the US and Canada, only accepts USD/CAD and they are no legitimate appearance that you do/want to do business in Europe, you are not required to be GDPR compliant, even if an european customer goes on your website and purchases a product/service.

If your website accepts Euros, has multiple european languages (e.g. spanish, german, etc.), you do marketing in Europe, then we can conclude that you legitimely do business in Europe, you are then required to be GDPR compliant. This is indicated in one of the GDPR article (can't remember which one)

Some demand may be levelling off. We've had energy efficiency pressures for a while, and we knew there are all sorts of low hanging fruits. This is a good thing.

That said, I don't like the efficiency/austerity focused approaches to carbon reduction. Subsequently, I don't like a lot of price-based approaches to reductions like cap & trade or carbon taxes, particularly in the EU where I live.

I don't like them for a few reasons: protectionism & other hijackings, price flexibility of demand, the regressive burden on poor people... But for here, I'll stick to the implications of reduced power consumption.

The link between GDP & energy use is very long term. Efficiency can be an effective equivalent of volume but that can only take us so far. With lots of caveats, political perspectives and such.... I am still in favour of economic growth, technological progress... I think without exponentially increasing energy consumption we are contrained. I want a future with more transport, more computing, floating buildings, exotic new materials, space travel. These will require energy.

To take an analogy from cars... The EU has put a lot of effort into energy efficient cars. Light cars with small efficient motors. Hybrids, less driving.... This can get you some reduction, lets call it 50% for the sake of argument. Once you reach that point, there are no more gains to be made. Most "experience points" we've accumulated on the way are not very useful past this point and you need to pretty much start fresh.

Electric cars OTOH...These bottom out at 0. IE, when we get to the point where ICEs can be banned, we're at 0-emissions directly from car motors. Still need to deal with grid and manufacturing (probably the same ways), but vehicle emmisions is solved.

Said another way, electric cars are en route to the finish line. 700cc hatchbacks are a detour. I think it's smarter to invest in the path that leads where we want to go, at least now that it has become obvious.

I think most of us, particulalry those of a radical bent, are naturally dicotomous thinkers. My greeney college friends 15 years ago took the problem to be "too many people, too rich." That wasn't crazy, but I think it was essimistic.

TLDR. The old equation was

People X Wealth = energy consumption = emissions:

I'm skeptical about disentangling wealth/gdp from energy in the long term. I'm optimistic about disentangling energy use from emmissions. I want to see the equation become become:

People X Wealth = energy consumption <> emissions

You aren't doing business unless you're accepting payments/selling/shipping things to people in the EU. And as with any law, if you're sufficiently small fry the EU isn't going to care about you until you actually screw up. Don't accept euros as currency. Don't offer to ship to EU nations. Done. If you do accept payments/ship/etc, unless you're a multinational, the EU probably won't care anyway, as you'll fly under the radar, unless you leak customer information. Do that in a sufficiently extravagant way, and they -will- care, but unless you have assets in the EU they can't/won't do anything about it anyway.
