> I wonder what proportion of couples knew each other directly or indirectly before they go together:

A good proportion I bet, but they didn't meet on a dating app.

Dating apps are used by people trying to "catch other fish in the sea". They want to expand their selection to social groups outside their immediate one, and date in a way that doesn't impact their status within their current group. If all your friends know Jack, and you dump him, word will get around for better or worse.
Not sure if I understand. How is a data privacy law being used to get an organization to reveal its sources? The article mentions something about the government needing to know how data were stored, but that’s all I could see that addressed this question.

Edit: Comments filled me in. The regulation seems to relate in part to people having the right to know who is collecting what data on them.
What does that even mean? If nothing else, the more people we have, the more pollution we could be creating, which can affect climate change.
I still wonder how is this legal.

> Critically, using the persistent location API also allows us to use an acknowledged acceptable way to capture when our users have active screen time.

They're admitting to using background location to infer screen time, which is clearly "misuse" according to section 2.5.4. Whether the decision is right or wrong, I find it hard to believe that the developer is actually confused by this.

"It’s fun to ask an anti vaxxer what they would do if they were bitten by a rabid animal. You can watch (cognitive) dissonance kick in."

Of course I "get" your joke - and sympathize with the sentiment. I am on your team wrt vaccination policies.

However, I also cringe at the notion that critical thought about vaccinations has been completely reduced to extreme, fundamental positions.

I consider a specific, personal experience of this debate: I am a typical, unremarkable advocate of and participant in vaccination protocols in the United States. And yet, I think there should be critical thought and robust debate about the influenza vaccine(s)[1] and the emerging consensus that we should all consume this product, annually, forever.

In my experience it is impossible to have this discussion because it immediately (and incorrectly) becomes a "vaxxer" debate. This should not be the case. Our critical thought about these increasingly complex medical, scientific, social and economic[2] issues should be encouraged - not swept up in a proxy fight between two "tribes".

> Wall Street, where crime is legalized and so none of the suits go to jail

Crime is not legal on Wall Street nor anywhere else in America. If you don't like the laws, we have a system to change them. It seems like you disagree with the finance profession, whose purpose is to efficiently move and allocate capital.
I don't know under what assumptions you consider it a "myth", but the the planet cannot support the current population, with its current behavior. The main evidence for that is runaway climate change.

People are not going to change their behavior; maybe the problem will fix itself if people simply dwindle as a result of their actions.

Nobody has to be killed; dropping fertility could do it.

E.g. if fertility goes to zero, the species is finished. The living specimens will live out their lives (many of those being medically prolonged) and then that's it. Billions to zero in about a century.
In other words, kids are having nightmares.
Both, plus Groups and Events - groups are actually a huge major contributor to the development of shared economics in our country, a lot of people stick around because they want to participate in the hundreds of various interesting and well moderated groups (local food, housing, cars, ...) that are available in our language - I tried to find similar ones in English or other languages but failed. There are a few, but nothing comparable, discussion quality is usually much worse and ads are scam.

This is why I love Bumble. Women have to reach out first, so its much less hassle (as a male) of messaging over and over and over again into a black hole with no response.

> So the people you need to appeal to are the women looking for a relationship, not a hookup, and who want assurances this will be wholesome and not another means for total strangers to

Not in the casual case. You simply say, "Only looking for hook ups, something casual, etc". No one's time is wasted. When my Bumble push notification comes in, I know it's someone who finds me attractive based on my honest photos and okay with something casual. It's the perfect filter for all involved.

Not to get too off topic, but higher birth rates equal more economic growth, or at least the potential for it.

That is, what's currently being passed off as an immigration issue - in the USA, and Europe (e.g., Germany) - is ultimately an economic growth issue. With "native" births flat (or less), growth has to come from somewhere. The quick and simple solution is immigration. But, obviously, that's coming with baggage, at least for the proles. The economic elites continue to cash in.

Put another way, no one wants to be the next Japan. Capable but ultimately stagnant.

Note: Yes, I'm generalizing but the bottom line is, immigration in many countries is often a proxy for economic growth.

To be clear, this has nothing to do with personal data protection and everything to do with journalists publishing evidence tying senior Romanian politicians to fraud and the embezzlement of public funds.

This is an issue of free speech and free press. Perverting the privacy regulations is just a means to an end for a corrupt government. Do not mistake that corruption for any sort of privacy protection.

You write like they either used chisels or laser cutters.
Child Protection Laws:

Societal criminalization of sex with people less than 18 or 17 of old has definitely reduced birth rates.

8 year olds used to find gainful employment. By 15 or 16, these "children" were relatively self sufficient. Now, such jobs are called child labor.

Compulsory mass schooling has also pushed the average child bearing age to 30s.

Health:

Slashing infantile mortality rates has also stopped people from hedging with 5 or more children.

I don't how people perceived contraceptives in the past. However, the lowly condom has prevented lots of pregnancy.

Financial:

Cost of raising a child has sky rocketed. Child birth cost is just crazy. Cost of schooling / rearing - live time cost of a child is something people now seriously debated before giving birth. And having to change houses, and cars to accommodate the growing family is also a thing.

In undeveloped countries with poor health care, low education, child care... high birth rates is still common.

Japan 2d partners:

What's up with that country? Seems like they just became uninterested in actually having sex with actual human beings.

Well, you don't really have to have distinguished insights to tell that Yelp is doing a horrible job as an advertising company. Their ads are unattractive and annoying.

Oh, I see now a thought-filter I was applying when I wrote my previous comment.

I live in Tasmania, the whole island has a population of about 512,000. If you exclude friends of friends of friends, that's pretty much everyone here.

Still, Australia's top 5 cities have about 64% of the population. If you live in any of the non-top-five and exclude friends of friends of friends, that's a fair chunk of the locals.
Hararis argument is that when the main resource of the country is brains, conquering that country with army wouldn't give you anything useful, and you need other methods to conquer like the propaganda you ention.

The typical criticism of Yelp was that you could get negative reviews of your business removed if you paid them.

I'm not sure how as a coder you'd be able to guarantee that's never been done, except if your code guaranteed that no review could ever be removed by a human moderator, which I'm sure is not the case.

Tinder used to require a connection with your Facebook account so that you could only use pictures that you've used in your profile-picture history on Facebook.

I thought it was brilliant because now all pictures have to at least pass the social proof of being one of your public profile pics. It's more trustworthy. Though they've since relaxed the requirement, probably because they didn't want to be so tied to Facebook.

It's true that you can often google/facebook search matches on dating sites. I have done that before just to get a better idea of who someone is. But that already exists.

But I think there is value in enforcing a Facebook profile linkage to a dating profile. It's hard to bullshit, and it's harder for someone to then waste your time.

> Most web sites are a logical continuation of books, magazines, newspapers, etc. No wonder they actively adopt the time-proven, well-working concepts from the print media.

True, but print media formats got even more simplified in web. The reason? Responsiveness constraints.

Many times I've seen great advanced "article-like" designs for desktop from ambitious designers. It turned out that making them easy to manage in CMS, stable in all possible combinations (or implementing good validators) and at the same time logical and good looking on mobile was extremely hard and not worth it.

This led to further simplifications...

Well, technically, the state is always judge, jury and executioner. These functions may devolve to different parts of the state but they are always part of the state.

Which is to say that any law that grants journalists more freedom of expression than the average person is going to run up against the problem of state then aiming to define journalists as "the people we like".

It's like current employment, where it's illegal to fire someone on the grounds of race but legal to fire them "for no reason at all". That situation can protect people but it's clearly rather weak.

You make things wildly unaffordable.
You make the most basic need of a human being (a roof over their head a ponzi scheme speculative investment)
You destroy the middle class.
You plunge everyone into debt with over- financialization.
You play divisive social games to cement power structures finalizing in men vs. women politics.
You destroy the family unit.
You undermine men.
You push male guilt.
You push social trends for women to party through their most fertile years You convince women that long term monogamous relationships are prison...
You turn everyone on to Tinder and glorify transient lifestyles... All because such lifestyles make various corporations richer via higher consumption.. society be damned. Optimal profit at the expense of broader society... Up until broader societal conditions drag down corporations that made it so.

The cause and effect are obvious to anyone w/ two brain cells.

And just to show its all for the almighty dollar, millions of dollars are pumped into studies/research of this phenomenon only to avoid the elephants in the room. We call this modern society where we pretend to not know why things are the way they are. Society optimizes for certain things like profit above all else and there are a slew of negative outcomes or things that are harmed as a result.

Why would someone have a kid in the current environment? This process is pushed out to someone who either is quite wealthy and has no impact or is quite poor and is uncaring of the impact. The middle is hallowed out. It's why from anywhere from the first world EU to the US there is a big push for immigration. That too is steeped in economic factors and has little to do w/ a genuine interest in helping people. Instead of fixing core societal problems, the powers that be deem it easier to just pave over the domestic populous with new-comers who would willingly tolerate such conditions and birth new workers into the fold. The middle core of the population deems it ridiculous to have kids. The number crunchers see this as an impact to their precious economic models... and thus comes the political push to import people from places in the world who have kids in far more impoverished conditions and see 1st world countries as a step up.

Not sure how this comment will go here but that's just the plain reality. A reality people like to play pretend they don't know exists. A reality people make hordes of money to ignore and further. Humanity will pay a hefty price in the years to come for these stupid games we play. Historically, various reckonings have occurred when civilizations and empires play these stupid games. Then the cycle resets and is born again only to arrive at the same juncture when people stray far enough from sound principals.
