Then let me throw my own anecdote out there.

I got covid in the second wave before the vaccines were available, recovered quickly within 3 days without any medication or hospitalisation. I mysteriously developed long-covid symptoms and heart palpitations only AFTER receiving the Pfizer vaccine. I received my two doses of Pfizer but I decided won't get any of the booster shots and take my chances until the Miniluv goons come to kick down my door.

Which anecdote is more valid? Only one will get flagged though.

Omicron is causing more infections but fewer hospital admissions in SA
I have never heard of a population wide mandate for a flu vaccine however.

And since 2004 the average effectiveness for the flu vaccine is about 40% so I guess if you are in a high risk group it might increase your survival a bit, but not enough effectiveness for a national mandate. The death rate of the flu is about 0.01% for all populations.

I mean, would you get a surgery that had a 40% success rate if your chance of dying without the surgery was 0.01%?
Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you, but I do have some suggestions for you.

> I had 2FA enabled so I have no idea how someone managed to access my account. I am not a techie.

What kind of 2FA had you set up? If it's text messaging, this is trivial to bypass, however, if it was TOTP using an authenticator method then this seems suspicious. Please double check your email isn't compromised. My guess is they may have reset the 2FA method either via text messages or via email. Also follow the advise in the other comments regarding backdoors and/or extensions/addons that hijack your browser.

> I sent my ID to FB and have not heard anything more. I feel scared that I have sent my ID to someone that has somehow hacked my account, used my bank card, and now knows more about me than before.

Some years ago when I had to do this, it was a manual process, and so it took a few days, which may be the reason why you haven't heard anything back. Double check where you sent your ID. For example, if you sent it by email, check who you sent it to, if you uploaded it on a website, check that the website you uploaded it to is indeed facebook.com etc (also, check that it isn't an iframe by right-clicking on the see if there is any options about frames or iframes). Having said that, the process could have changed and it may be that it is automated now.

Lastly, and this may be far fetched, but try emailing Mark Zuckerberg's office at zuck@fb.com and zuckerberg@fb.com (send it to both addresses). These CEO emails often get directed to a team that can deal with things. Though, I'm not sure if this is the same with Facebook considering you're not a customer.

I wish you the best and hope you regain access. If/when you do regain access, I suggest you download a copy of your information[0]. This way you won't lose all those precious memories in the future if you happen to lose access again.

Seems appealing to exclusively accept users from Europe using iCloud Private Relay and Sign in with Apple with hidden e-mail and offload this whole shit show to Apple (or Google if they have something like this).

Not touching PII (as defined by german courts) with a ten feet pole seems like the only reasonable course of action for a company without a legal department.
My thought is the same - I was wondering if I had missed something!

I really need to find a good mentor for our project :(
Me too. Also the frameworks deliver a lot of bloat and dependencies which can be a boomerang.
For example I did some pages with bootstrap 3 ... for that I had to use a module which modifies the html templates of the CMS. Than the CMS got updated several times but the module is not been updated b/c bootstrap 3 is obsolete. But hey the there is a new module for the new cool guy in town BS 4.
So you can't update the CMS or you have to rebuild a large part of the website for the sake of updates.
That's totally senseless since it has no advantages for my customers. Yes I can sell it with "you must update because of security but hey nothing changes ..." - something what I would absolutely hate if it's done to me.

I have my own framework - smaller and it fits my way to work. And yes I understand that this would be a other situation with a team (but then you have a guy without soul, moral and honor which is called "the sales guy" who sales everything).
I’m not sure we can completely prevent it. But maybe we can keep a significant portion of the population unaffected while the strains decrease is lethality and effect.

Whether that is a net benefit over the economic consequences of lockdowns and secondary effects of that I don’t know. I wouldn’t even know how to begin answering that question.
Thanks very much for the answer. I assumed that it would have to go through the judiciary, but I am surprised to see it's not the case.

It does make sense, especially if it's not abusive (e.g. one month behind equals reposession)
Catching those at compile time is still much better than some obscure runtime bug. If the latter would be enough, valgrind would suffice for testing c/c++ programs, but you can’t really execute every code path all the times.

I don't get it. Alice knows it right away only if she knows the rules of the game, electricity in her brain doesn't need to move a light year away. Though, if she's braindamaged, it can take longer than a light year for her to figure that out or may never happen at all.
> If Telsa are also granted the rights within the court order to assist the bailiffs

From what limited knowledge of law enforcement I have (and it's very little, I admit), it's reversed: everyone by default is legally obliged to assist a law officer, on their request, to enforce the law and order; there are some limits beyond which explicit court orders are required, but those limits are rather broad.

Pardon me, but I seem to be suffering from terminological confusion.

I'm puzzled by this business of "building" static sites being a process that takes minutes. Perhaps my understanding of the term "static site" is awry; I parse it as a site consisting of HTML markup, JS and CSS, all that code being handmade, rather than generated. If that's right, then a "static" site doesn't need to be built.

I presume it's supposed to be contrasted with a "dynamic site", which I parse as a site in which the code delivered to the browser is not the code that was written by the developer; instead, the developer's code gennerates the browser's code at runtime (but it's still not obvious to me why that should need a build step).

Or are we talking about writing sites in meta-languages, that have to be subjected to a translation process to yield code suitable for browsers? That would explain the build step. I can certainly see the sense in layering a meta-language over CSS, but generated HTML is just annoying to my mind (and generated Javascript seems like a recipe for madness).

Depending on the answer to the question “Do livestock have the same sort of rich inner world we decry the suffering or destruction of when considering a human animal?”, it’s either an apt comparison to bring about much needed change, or an offensive slight against the suffering of so many humans.

I don’t know which.
The argument that we can’t judge people in the past for their roles in slavery because it was acceptable in their time is based on a flawed assumption that humans have changed how they feel about slavery. They did not.

No one ever thought it was great to be a slave, or to have family members enslaved. No one ever thought it was acceptable to have members of their own race/country/identity-group enslaved.

Meat eating isn’t the slavery of today. The slavery of today is the slave labour camps that still operate in some countries, the human trafficking that still happens in many places. No one thinks it’s right, just many think it’s not their problem.

That's a reasonable strategy on the assumption that TypeScript will be used, but the very fact of its being so is actually an argument in favor of the point made by gp which has been left unaddressed (RE context-switching).

As advocates, companies are fickle and unreliable.

Presenting as advocates, companies always stress how aligned their interests are with customers'. We'll, that's true until it isn't. Once it isn't, it flips.

That's useless. Better to keep in mind that companies aren't your advocates. They're your salesman.
On the other hand, the proliferation of hacking and fraud could drive a swing to the opposite direction. It's got to the point where being hacked, blackmailed, or being the target of fraud is a regular occurrence, and a lot of that is driven by hackers having easy access to private data which lends plausibility to emails or text messages.

When you get to the point where judges and lawmakers have, more likely than not, personal experience of threatening emails containing private information, there's a lot of incentive to reduce the amount of data collection - and correspondingly, a lot of popular support for the idea.

Oh - fair enough. I tend to treat all marketing/advertizing copy as a (not even necessarily close) approximation of the actual specs, anyway, so the fact that the tagline isn't borne out by the actual implementation didn't even strike me as incongruous. But yes, you're right that those don't line up.

As a sibling commenter said, though - it's not inherently suspicious that the company's covering their ass in the case of an incompetent user.
My experience in MI* is that a fair number of stores can be rather sticky about returns - "we don't sell that brand", "did you buy it here?", "come back when the machine is fixed", etc.

That is true, and I generally don’t mind the removal of those kinds of statues of political or military figures celebrated by one society at one time and looked upon in horror by a new society at another time.

What I do mind is the removal of monuments of persons celebrated for specific civilian accomplishments because of some political ideologies, typical of their times, that they may have held (and even, depending perhaps on circumstances untypical of their times).

The same as would happen in any other repo case. The repo agent bags them, writes an inventory of them, and must return them on request. Different states have different laws on the conditions on that. Most don't allow any fees to be charged for this, but generally you have to go get them, they won't be brought to you.

Huge amounts of stuff is never returned, either because the repo guys were careless/stole it, because retrieving is hard/inconvenient for someone who no longer has a car, or because the owners just don't care.
> I find it problematic that the university requires any cookie consent whatsoever in the first place.

Totally right, and also

> If someone else is okay with the data transfer, he can opt-in if he wants to. I should not carry the burden of having to opt-out of it.

so much this. If something is spiraling out of hands it is the cookie usage, which is 99% AD tracking.

The current law is badly implemented, or lead to bad implementation. Now almost every site asking your for their necessary or "helping" cookies, most often using dark patterns to trick you into just accepting all - and because you get this stupid cookie prompt on every page now, everybody just wants to click it away as fast as possible, which misses the target totally, too :(

Still, its not data protection spiraling out of hand, but that basically every site, even ones where I don't login to or want to drop off any other data, but just fetch a small information, wants to set cookies is ridiculous. We all should have never accepted that, but too late?

> Are defined contribution plans being funneled into venture capital (is that even allowed?)

At least according to [1] about 20% of VC funding came from pension funds, and per [2] about 10% of pension fund assets are invested in "private equity". Given that we're talking about ~ 35 trillion US-$ in total pension fund assets [3], it's safe to say that it is an immense amount of money.

And by the way, it's not just the startup/VC market that is being completely undermined by dumb pension fund money from the US. Real estate across the world is bought up by pension funds, driving up prices - good for those who sell to the pension funds, bad for those wishing to obtain their own home or renting.

The way US pensions are set up is fucking over the entire world.

Since this thread is hot, I'd like to add a similar request as well: My mom has her FB account suspended 2 years ago for unknown reason, in fact we never really got a "suspended account" status. We just couldn't login, 2FA doesn't work (SMS message never came), then her account profile disappeared and become "Facebook user".

We started the process of unblocking the account by uploading Government ID, but after we uploaded the photos (her photos, passport's photo, her with passport etc... ), FB just stopped responding to us altogether.

The account has something close to 10 years of photo, without any backup, so any help would really really be appreciated. My email is human@nhanho.me

Edit: At the time, someone was trying to impersonating her. We found a new account copying her profile pictures and "About" section that was created on the same day. Somehow the impostor was also able to logged her out of her account and turned it into a weird state where you can't login.
