Most of these companies wouldn't know how to make much use of the data anyway. My experience working with companies and analytics (even did an analytics startup some years back) is that they haven't a clue about how to actually use it and just heard that more data is somehow better.

That to me sounds like they're most likely to sell the data, since they don't know how to use it themselves. Better these companies have less data, not more.
It's not, unless you think that e.g. cyanobacteria causing the Great Oxidation Event were somehow objectively more useful than cryptocurrencies.

Mind you the Great Oxidation Event wiped good chunk of life back then.

Mainly because oxygen was toxic to anaerobic life and it also oxidized methane making Earth into a snowball.
It absolutely does work. A little bit, at first, when you have broad consensus backing you - but it does work. People will begrudgingly change their behavior for relatively minor things, and the change in the use rate of racial epithets in public reflects that.

The problem is that A) this process is more useful for advancing within the ideological block than for advancing the ideology's goals, and B) there's a "Laffer Curve" of sorts for paying "moral taxes" in following behavioral norms. The internal dynamics of a movement is going to set the level by true-believer dynamics where outrageously high demands are acceded to, while the general public is going to respond to that level of demand of "well, if you think I'm a bad person for saying 'Latino" instead of 'Latinx', that's your problem".
GDPR has not much to do with cookies, and more to do with how your data is captured and used. Most of the "annoying" cookie banners and popups are related to the e-privacy regulation [1].

I am not sure this will have a significant impact, as UK will have to comply with GDPR if they want to to reach European customers.

Yeah i do agree that pandora's box might already be open. I am an avid hockey fan and there has been a huge shift towards "trick" shots in the past few years to get around these goalies.

It is becoming increasingly rare to see "normal" goals anymore in NHL hockey. Goalies are simply too good that normal goals won't go in. So if a defensemen wants to slapshot the puck, his forwards (who are down in front of the net) need to "screen" the goalie so the goalie can't see the puck. The forward then needs to try to dodge the puck at the last second before the goalie can react.

We also are seeing probably half or so of NHL goals come from deflections to pinball the puck around so the goalie can't even track the puck. It is amazing how good NHL forwards are getting now at deflecting. We routinely see triple deflections now.

The rest of the goals are just from diving the net. With 6-8 players in front of the net (3 attacking forwards, and 5 defending forwards+defensemen) just slapping at the puck in the chaos as it bounces around, it eventually goes in.

So I have long since believed that they should widen the net (just by 4-6 inches). But I do think that the NHL players have just gotten so good at creatively combatting the goalie, that widening the net might end up with too many goals in games. There is a fine balance between not enough scoring like in Soccer (Football outside USA) and with too much scoring (like in Basketball). American Football does a good job balancing the scoring. Most games have 3-4 touchdowns between both teams, plus a handful of other scoring opportunities like field goals and conversions. It keeps the touchdowns exciting (players even dance in the endzone on live TV), while still moving the game along with smaller scoring opportunities throughout the game.
The idea of GDPR was good, the execution was poor. All those pop ups in your way and you end up just hitting 'ok' anyway because it takes so long to figure them out.

> It's ostensibly driven by noble concepts like social justice but in reality devolves into racial discrimination, dogmatism and tribalism

I’m sorry but I simply don’t think this is true. You are stretching to reach a false equivalence:

Tribalism: It depends on your criteria, it is hard to find any group of people that doesn’t engage in some form of tribalism. It is part of known human cognitive bias to favor in-group members over out-group. However, I say this is still false equivalence since fascists actively pray on this bias, while normally leftist groups tend to raise awareness and fight against this bias. I’ve personally attended leftists workshops with the goal of eliminating tribalism from the group’s actions.

Dogmatism: Yes you will find anti-capitalist dogma in leftist circles. They would argue that capitalism is the ultimate dogma though. Perhaps that is dogmatist thinking to do that? Anyway, I think it is a stretch to equate strong believes in socialism, anarchism, anti-discrimination and social justice on the left with the strong believes of racial superiority, capitalism, and the need for strong leaders on the far right. You would have to argue that any believe is dogma if you want this to be equivalent.

Racial discrimination: Now here is a real long stretch. Being racist will have you kicked out of leftist groups. (barring some nas-bols) racism is not tolerated. You might be thinking about discrimination against white people, if so there are sibling comments explaining why you are wrong. Or if you are thinking that some groups are excluded from certain activities because of privileged, it is more about giving victims a safe space to talk, privileged groups are not excluded from the movement as a whole (unless they fail to recognize their privilege and prefer to bask in it).

Now there is a subgroup of leftists called Maoists and National Bolsheviks that do engage in dogmatism and racism. However they are usually not welcome in most leftist groups, and I do believe they are very few in numbers (I’ve never encountered one in the wild). I’ll end with an example in the wild where a (true) leftist youtuber calls out a Maoist youtuber for being reactionary. Very much demonstrating that this kind of behavior is not welcome.

> Caution to the reader who thinks one could pump heat from frigid external temperatures into their very warm, high temperature house

I heat my house with a heat pump. I live in Eastern Canada and we regularly have -20c days and I still heat my house to a comfortable level. Our pump is >=100% efficient all the way down to around -25c at which point it's less and less effective.

These pumps are extremely popular around here. We heat during the winter and cool during the summer with the same unit.

I consider our heat pumps to be our primary source of heat in our house. We only run the gas furnace if we get into sub -25c days which is not often, we had none this year.

You are falling into the trap that was explicitly set up by trolls. If it was not well known to be explicitly set up by trolls, "it is ok to be white” would be a fine, boring statement.

But, it has been established that chan trolls came together to figure out a slogan that they could use to stir up heated arguments exactly like you are making. They settled on "it is ok to be white" and started using it to troll people into saying things that can be interpreted as hating white people. Then the arguments based on misunderstanding start and trolls laugh at you while they feed on your outrage and frustration.

So you have no tests that would trigger an error/exception by giving bad data? I'm not saying that I'd, necessarily, call out the type explicitly, but I would give bad data to trigger the exceptional control flow/guard which can be tantamount to specifying a type. Of course, this also depends on where the function sits. If it's an internal/private function in a module that only my own functions would call I can more safely focus on the happy path. But if it's part of the interface to a module, then I want to make sure that users of the module get proper feedback/responses, whatever the contract is (be it a result type or an exception or a default value). I mean, that's a large part of the value of testing: ensuring that the code matches the specification/contract that you present to users.
The pop ups are not usually complaint though. So its not that the execution was poor, but rather that the enforcement is poor.

Also, your Twitter quote shows another issue: conflating GDPR with the Cookie directive. They are two very different laws. GDPR is concerned with personally identifiable data and data protection, the cookie laws are concerned with tracking users online. GDPR applies to all data (not just websites), the cookie laws deal with what websites can do. They are not at all the same thing. The popups you see tend to be for the cookie law, because GDPR doesn't require anything like that. Both do require consent (opt-in) though, but both also have exemptions for data and cookies required to provide the service.

In most real world problems, you don't really care about keeping a data structure sorted at all time. All you want, is to have it sorted when you're about to do X. So it's generally faster to just have a contiguous chunk, insert at the end, then sort when you need.
It’s a restatement of the first and most widely-known principle of the Unitarian Universalist Association [1]. I think that is why it resonates with many people.

"Growth" is one option. Another is that some black holes may be chunks of a pre-bang singularity that never expanded/exploded into normal matter. Or they may be matter that contracted into singularities shortly after the big bang when everything was closer together. Black holes that are either giant (billion+ suns) or very small (<1 sun) don't fit into accepted models of how these things are created. That they absolutely exist, at least the big ones, means we don't understand everything just yet.
This is obviously reading the tea leaves a bit, but I didn't get the impression they are looking to scrap GDPR. It seems to me that they just want to relax things a bit so that businesses don't feel so threatened by it.

Overall I think GDPR is a very positive thing, but from the government's perspective if they could keep the adequacy agreement in place with the EU while still relaxing some of the current GDPR legislation then that would be a big win for them, especially from a political point of view as it would be some much-needed validation of their brexit strategy: "Look! We have all the benefit of being in the EU [via the adequacy decision] but we get to make our own rules! Go us." I could imagine them doing something along the lines of greatly reducing the maximum fine, for example. Big fines are typically not being issued, so they likely wouldn't see it as a big loss.

I too thought this was the better way to write.

To write simply, in the way that Paul suggests here, and in the way most editorial softwares these days try to suggest/auto-correct our writings (gmail, grammarly, hemingway app etc).

That is until I found a guy called Alexander Cortes, a personal trainer selling fitness programs online.

His writing style and the philosophy behind is the exact opposite of the ideas above.

When I subscribed to his newsletter (read by many thousands) I was impressed with his style. It has typos, no punctuation and no writing order/rules of any kind that you might've got used to. But you can still read and fully comprehend it. Otherwise that many people wouldn't be following him (100K twitter followers: @AJA_Cortes). It's unique and makes his writing stand out from all the writers following same writing advice from the mainstream writing advice (which is similar to what Paul says in the article).

In this tweet thread Alexnder talks about his writing style [1].
Here's two posts from his blog [2] and [3] that I like and shows the style.

I have to put this on my wall. I made this point to a "designer" in love with the trend of the full-splash intro video. They wanted to use it on a website targeting managers.

Trying the demo on three middle-aged individuals, two did not have the habit of hitting page down or scrolling. So, two out of three did not find the "obvious" content of the website below the video.

Who are the audience and what are their true needs?

is what we have to concentrate on when we sell products. I am sitting in zoom sessions with individuals that complain about their "wireless" headphones failing / discharging. Yet they happily paid for them, hundreds of dollars.
Consumers are magic. I suggested they use a wired headset. They will not spend 10 dollars to buy one. One should contemplate deeply why, if one wants to sell to people like this. Observe them in their natural habitat. They can't explain why.

This is why having a digital product out in the market with paying customers is valuable in itself. You get to observe and measure, and pivot if you're lucky. The userbase is the resource, and the paying userbase is gold.

How does this do anything but support the OP's argument? OP argues that hate speech laws are futile because those in power get to decide what is hate speech and how it is enforced and it is always possible for the wrong people to be in power. Has-Geog Maassen and the overall failure you highlighted seems like a perfect example of this seeming inevitability in practice.

The other side of the coin could be they’re getting funded because yc likes the founders :)
> Milongas: (Argentine Tango) For both ladies and gentlemen, black or dark themes are preferred.

As someone who has been dancing tango for a decade, around the globe, including lots in Argentina, I can only say that this pure and utter BS.

EDIT: After reading the rest of this: it seems to be written from the perspective of a ballroom dancer.

Just for example, in tango you never walk up to a person and verbally ask for a dance. It's an absolute no-no. Contract is negotiated by eye contact/face only. Only exceptions are people that you know to like dancing with you already and who stand right next to you.

Same with declining. A no is a no. No weird requirement to offer a different dance later; to 'compensate'.
