This is also something that lends itself to regulation.

You can determine/define a minimum group size, and regulation that prohibits finer-grained targeting.

This is something that happens in many other fields, for example to prevent insurance policies from becoming individualized cost-spreading (with front-loading) plus profit-margin.

(Or, should be happening. And this is one of the battles around regulation. When people see their costs skyrocketing, they should ask themselves whether that is the "cost of regulation", or rather the cost of its absence.)

It can become quite difficult to micromanage through regulation. Sometimes, that's necessary, e.g. with pollutants whose individual effects vary dramatically.

But sometimes, it's possible to observe boundaries beyond which negative effects become quite pronounced with escalating proclivity. You draw the line there, or a bit on the safe side, and say, "Thou shall not pass."

If people get the choice, as opposed to being dictated to, I think that they are going to find that in most domains, they don't want to be micro-targeted. And maybe, we will come up with laws and regulations to stop it -- or substantially hinder it, at least.

It can even feed into a healthy society. How will you ever learn of, and possibly experience, anything new and "out of your comfort zone", if you are constantly being algorithmically channeled back into it?
How is the last point relevant? Many people take a different sex hormone so this one might be okay too?
I don’t think this should have been corrected. Now any reference to an issue number has to be corrected by 500, depending on whether it references an issue before or after the correction.

Other than correcting a number sequence error, this doesn’t fix anything important.
Absolutely is not the same
Normal and healthy are different. In an environment full of xenoestrogens, TRT is possibly the only way to attain “normal” levels of T measured against a non-xenoestrogenic environment. That doesn’t imply it’s a good idea, but it might imply you should do it anyway.

Or, to put that another way: in an environment that causes >20% of the population to be near-sighted, are glasses “normal”? Are they “healthy”? Do either of these questions even make sense?

The real questions there, of course, are whether nearsightedness is “normal” and/or “healthy.”

And so: is having (diagnosed) low testosterone normal? Healthy?

Advertisers nudge you to do something you sort of already want to do. The amount of effort required to buy things is minimal and buying things you want to buy is usually enjoyable.

On the other hand, going to therapy is forcing yourself to do something that is difficult, sometimes painful and requires a lot of effort and resources (both time and money). I don't see the relationship between voluntarily going to therapy and advertising inducing you to buy things.

I don't actually know. I have never looked into that. But I have read of some cases where an early hysterectomy robbed the individual of their sex drive and their energy levels, among other things. And with any major surgery of that sort, you can always die from it or have complications.

My personal opinion: The least invasive tubal ligation you can arrange is probably the least worst answer in most cases where permanent birth control is desired because it doesn't interfere with the body's own hormone production and less invasive is less risky. Second best would be a hysterectomy that leaves the ovaries in place.

Historical note: most US cities had dense public transit until the rise of the automobile. Those transit systems were bought by the car companies and dismantled to drive adoption of private cars. A similar path led to the creation of the crime of 'jaywalking' and getting people off of the streets so car adoption wouldn't be stopped by high rates of drivers killing pedestrians.

The point about mental health is really interesting and important. It's clearly overdetermined, but the different ways of attributing these issues, I think, is understated.

I recently read Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism, and one of his theses is that in the neoliberal era we've essentially "privatized" mental health, treating it individually/biologically rather than systemically:

> I want to argue that it is necessary to reframe the growing problem of stress (and distress) in capitalist societies. Instead of treating it as incumbent on individuals to resolve their own psychological distress, instead, that is, of accepting the vast privatization of stress that has taken place over the last thirty years, we need to ask: how has it become acceptable that so many people, and especially so many young people, are ill?
I don't disagree, per se, but it's interesting that we have no problem with leaders of corporations personalizing ads for individuals while we are bothered when the position is reversed.

Jazz. Blues. Techno. Ragtime.

Blues, Jazz and Ragtime all predate WWII — and all influenced pretty much everything you hear today.

You could even argue that Breakbeat is American given its roots with the Winston’s.

American culture is vastly richer than many countries specifically because it is effectively an All Star team of traditions from everywhere. Thinking “American” is simply hot dogs and Hip Hop is to greatly undersell what has been one of the great cultural achievements in the history of the world. American culture is vastly diverse compared to, for example, France. You have Cajun/Creole in Louisiana, Tejano culture in Texas, cowboy culture in Montana, laid back “surfer” culture in California, Boston/Nee England culture, Chicago with it’s melange of Polish, Italian, African American. Where else in the world could you have sushi for lunch and watch a rodeo in the evening? To be clear, I am not saying American culture is “best,” I am just saying that to reduce American culture to Hip Hop is about like saying French culture is nothing more than Edith Piaf and baguettes. Americans even invented basketball and baseball — and most of the things I mention were in motion long before world war 2.

NYC was a culture hub long before Workd War 2. Read some de Tocqueville and learn a bit about American history before just engaging in a wholesale dismissal of America.

If it wasn’t economically efficient, they wouldn’t exist.

My uncle runs a small parking lot in a central business district. He clears a very healthy living working 5:30-9 five days a week, plus events. When he is ready to retire, he can sell it for a couple of million dollars or pass it on to his kid.

Most older central city parking is like that... modest income to cover taxes and expenses to park the property for future speculation or security for loans. Newer ones are usually part of another development and are tax exempt or taxpayer funded.

The malls were very economically viable in the 80s and 90s. In my areas, malls whose bonds are getting paid off are in-filling the outer areas of the property and some lots with the current hot real estate hustle... hotels and giant gas stations.

But what’s the best solution when the goal is not prevention of pregnancy, but rather to reduce the symptoms of “choppy” hormone production, or hormone imbalance (e.g. PCOS)?

AFAIK, the “best” solution for that (that is rarely pursued) is complete hysterectomy + HRT; with regular dual-hormone birth control pills or patches being a distant second, and nothing else helping at all.

It will depend on how you define the "largest" sofa: total volume? surface area of the ground covered by it?

If it is the largest volume, you need to limit the height of the corridor (to be the same as the width? a multiple of it?). Otherwise, you can pass an arbitrarily long L that you turn side-wise on the corner.

Most of the Blairites had deep links to elite establishment institutions (think tanks, global nonprofits) and industry (media, PR, finance, etc.). That formed the mainstay of their power while Corbyn's power base was grass roots (e.g. Momentum), left wing activist networks and unions.

Ultimately it wasn't really about policy for the rebel MPs, it was about seeing the main source of their power undermined. There isn't much of a career left for the Blairites under Corbyn.

Lots of corporate groups allied with the PLP hate his policies though. Richard Branson with his rail franchise and attempts to set up an American style HMO is obviously no fan, for example.
Are gaps in cell coverage really that obscure a use case? Sure, if you're only using the maps to route you around traffic jams in your home town, offline maps aren't going to offer you any benefit. But I think most users also want their maps to continue to be reliable when heading out of town on a road trip. Google has improved the behavior of their maps app when data connectivity is interrupted, but it's still a sub-par experience and quite frustrating.

I'll start by answering the part of your questions about other atrocities. I believe it's as simple as: the Holocaust happened in Europe, which is where most of the developed world was looking at the time. Also, the West had managed to convince itself that it had outgrown atrocities, only to see them appear in its courtyard.

Now, as to why we are still talking about it, I believe it's a pretty good thing.

This does not mean that we should not also talk about other atrocities. Definitely, they should be taught and discussed and shown.

Cymraeg users often have a strong hatred of English language use, and users, and want to deny that Welsh counties were annexed in to England and want to try and hold back the tide wrt English language use in preference to Cymraeg.

We get silly things in Wales like Cymraeg mono-lingual government announcements/adverts on the radio (accessible to about 7% [1] of the population vs c.100% if they were in English), motorway signs that are only in Cwmraeg for half the people passing them (they change over, useless if you passed already), travel announcements in Cymraeg first. Heck, if you ring 999 in an emergency you have to wait for the Cymraeg speaker to finish their 20s message before you start your call.

Welsh people use British-English language predominantly; the Welsh name is the name in English, the Cymraeg name sometimes differs.

[1] roughly: ~15% of the adult population say they know any Cymraeg, half of those are fluent (self reported). FWIW half of those fluent say they prefer to use English. So one could argue you're catering to <4% of the population.

Not all software is equally affected by this, browsers are particularly affected because they have a JavaScript VM running untrusted code.

But Site Isolation has been in the works in Chrome for a long time and it brings additional protections because it means that exploiting a renderer process doesn't let you break the SOP, which means you absolutely have to break out of the renderer process to have a meaningful exploit - completely removing the renderer codebase from your trusted computing base.
I think we both have the same experience. User interface and user experience in Here are heads and shoulder above google maps IMHO, so much that after this, I also installed Here maps on my regular phone. The best interface is still on my old windows phone, with zero ads, back when Microsoft owned Here.

Someone said I found an obscure usecase. I disagree. Navigating without a reliable data connection is not obscure and uncommon!!

Even if it was, my obscure case is very embedded in my mind. I don't care about the 99% cases when google maps work. I care about the 1% when it doesn't work while I need it.

This is why after this, I've decided it was safer to migrate my mapping needs to a more robust solution.

I don't care about how wide user adoption is. I care that it solves my problem better than the alternatives!
The untold truth is that therapy is not for all people. Similarly, meditation is not for all people either. For some people, neither therapy nor meditation really work. For those people, medication to elevate mood is the only real option. I have seen too many therapists exploit this and raise hopes of their patients and try CBT for a long time without results. Just like any disease, you need to manage this and there is nothing wrong in taking medication to fix yourself.

Worse is worse. There is no upside to using more memory. You don't know what a given system has for memory, Chrome needs to be as efficient as possible. Chrome is even worse than before with this change. Creating an ideal situation to make Chrome fit is disingenuous.

I think people do have ethical issues and worries with that too. Advertising is regulated in the UK for this reason. Whether this regulation is sufficent and effective online is a discussion that has been happening a lot recently especially in context of US and UK elections.

I think that regulation forcing advertising platforms to be more transparent about who is buying adverts will help.
For offline navigation there is data, the OpenStreetMap, for most places on the planet. There is no very good app though, which would have seemed to be the smaller problem.

For real time navigation, Waze type solution could work -- aggregation of real time data from users. Also, smart city projects
have open traffic data APIs, although not sure wether there is something properly real time, or it something like hourly aggregates.

So that would be still a giant project, but data does not seem to be the bottleneck.

> Is it not... something?

Basically, it isn't. The theory that everyone should do a little bit is based on the idea that if 1000 people each solve 0.1% of the problem then we solve 100% of the problem. Which in general isn't a bad idea.

The problem comes when somebody tries to sell it with bad math. Because then you have a hundred million people each solving one trillionth of the problem, which accomplishes effectively nothing. And worse than nothing, because then you have a hundred million people each thinking they've done their part and no further action is required, even though no one has made the slightest dent in the actual problem.
