Well if you totally ignore the concept of scale, sure. It sounds like your "VP of Engineering" at a startup was actually a junior engineer not doing anything you'd expect a VP to really do... like manage a complex hierarchy of departments, managers, and special projects.
Yep, and that means, that showing a huge, not easily dismissable popup basically demanding consent, just to watch a video or read an article, for which no tracking or cookies are necessary technically, is not really asking for consent and should be illegal.
I bought one of the big books on Ada a few months ago, the idea being it'd kick off another adventure into a language I wouldn't normally use.

I can't comment on the language on itself really, but I did look at what a web stack might look like in Ada. A lot of work has gone into that but the thing that kept me away for the time being was that it felt like a lot of manual work to actually get the stack in place.

If someone comes and tells me I'm wrong, and I misunderstood, then I hope they do. Because my first impression was the same one I got when trying to figure out Cmake for a beginner C++ project, and I don't really have any desire or inclination to interact with Cmake again.

You may wish to review the numbers you are stating comparisons about. The rate for COVID per day in the US is about 1300 (911k / 700 days). The total is about 9000 per day, which is 3x 9/11 every day

If you stick with the article all the way to the bottom, it admits as much:

> The relative stability of the annual number of fatal shootings does not mean the total is unchangeable. Wheeler said societal interventions, such as new policies around use of force, could shift the total from its expected range.

Makes you wonder what agenda the headline writer is trying to push.
Google's CEO has pretty much ZERO powers over me. The USA government is (largely) democratic and (mostly) obeys laws. But my government... is not the one I voted for and I trust it 0%.

Because I do not live in the West but in one of the great majority of countries with a corrupt, abusive government. The democratic governments of the West are the exception, not the rule.
I have some bias as a crypto/NFT enthusiast, but I can acknowledge there are a lot of issues in this space. However, I was pretty disappointed with this video. I feel like it could have been a great piece of journalism, but the video was made to support a negative thesis on NFTs from the get go. It's full of bias and opinion. I think a similar story can present the facts without the commentary and leave some more openness to the positive aspects of crypto/NFTs.
I think the big difference here is that this platform sells a product to website owners who want to see how their visitors generally behave on their site, e.g which pages are most popular. That is a legitimate need.

The difference with GA is that GA offers to fill this need of website owners for free while it actually processes and sells the visitors data for immoral ends. The whole "the customer is the product" deal.

I don't understand why simply sending data from one server to another is seen as such a big deal, the problem with Google and Facebook and the rest is how they build extremely detailed personal profiles that they use to cause social harm. Surely that is very different from tracking which pages get the most views or how much time - on average - people spend on your website?
It's surprising to me that you want to user native UIs for mobile but are fine with web UIs for desktops/laptops. What's your reasoning behind this?

> But I can relate that Ada feels like you should be writing it one a flickering green terminal in ALL CAPS and debugged with a daisy wheel printer.

In a way, the reason for such a limited character set and clunky syntax (including, e.g. case insensitivity) was precisely to maintain backward compatibility with those earlier machines.
Might seem counterintuitive, but does anyone else see this as a positive sign? In that, we have been going for about 15 years injecting liquidity into the economy with little to no increase in inflation. That was counterintuitive to most economic assumptions and is something Japan struggled with for some time with quantitive easing, to the point of deflation at times. If nothing else, the Fed and economic theories have tools to counter inflation, which in my mind, isn’t completely bad news.
> I don't like Google but seriously this whole GDPR thing is getting out of hand.

IMO it's the other way round: data collection and lack of respect for privacy got out of hand and has been like that for a long time now. It's finally coming under control, albeit slowly. This is not the end of it. And I'm super happy about GDPR.

> Anyone who's concerned about their data being collected can just block Google-or-like-related domains.

Why is it on the victims to protect themselves against illegal practices? We have courts and authorities for a reason.

If it stopped at Google, this would be easy. But GA is just tip of the iceburger.

> Especially with these European intentions I frankly believe this is more of a political war against US and US-based companies. (No, I'm not from US as well)

I don't believe that at all. But ultimately what I believe does not matter. I'm just happy that right to privacy online is finally becoming a thing.
Inflation going down to 0% means prices stay high

> I look forward to the technology behind payment systems getting to the point where "streaming" payments are a thing, paid every minute or hour or whatever over months or years.

Why?

> It's such simple math and APIs. I wish payments (salary especially) weren't so tradition-based.

Yes, it's conceptually easy math (ignoring all the infrastructure needing to be updated to support this), but I'm not seeing the huge benefit here.

If people are having trouble making ends meet, do more to improve the balance of labor in society rather than just let people get access to their middle of the month check a few days sooner. That's a bandaid on a larger problem.
You'd probably be better off comparing the deaths per billion vehicle-km (7.3 for the states and 5.8 for the French).

> the distributed ledger system is pretty interesting, isn't it?

It's mildly interesting, until you realize all the limitations with it, and then realize that the use cases are basically nil.

There's very very few use cases where you need a specific kind of trustless consensus. In fact, the end state of these systems shows that trust is still necessary in so many other ways. So no, I don't think it's actually that interesting.
A quote from the 1972 research paper

* The team discovered that a so-called “business-as-usual” approach to economic growth would drain the planet’s resources and lead to collapse within the 21st century. While human civilization would not end, people would be significantly worse off than previous generations amid tumbling food production, industrial output, and population numbers. *

(checks the News) Yep, sounds spot on
Amazing how you got there from me saying I don't have a grandmother who's bothered about this.
I've read most of the EU rulings and court cases on this topic. The CLOUD Act is basically the only US law that any of them mention or refer to.

And let's be explicit here: The entire purpose of the CLOUD Act is to bypass EU data protection laws. The incident that led to the creation of this law is that Microsoft didn't hand data over to the FBI because the data was on a server in Ireland. This isn't an unintended consequence, this is what the law is supposed to do.
> I'm struggling to understand how inflation is only 7.5% when every major line item comprising inflation is up much more than 7.5% over the past year.

They aren't. Food, apparel, medical care commodities, and non-energy services are up less than the overall amount. The things that are up more just get mentioned more because big numbers are newsworthy, small numbers aren't.
Seems interesting.

I've always seen Figma as an Illustrator alternative, but being able to instantly turn a sketch into a website makes it so much more. This is like having a button to turn a PSD mockup into a website, very cool!

It could mean that, but not clearly, and it really doesn't mean that.
I'm trying to differentiate between "this is how the mechanism works" and "this mechanism creates effect in humans" - the latter you implied by saying the walk in the park is likely related. I do not have even a basic understanding of the science in the paper so I may be missing the point.

So I guess what I'm asking is: is there evidence that the mechanism described in the paper results in "mental clarity", and further is there evidence that a walk in the park actually encourages this interaction (it sounds like it will as long as you get some sunlight).

4 oranges are real because we have the neural architecture to classify the oranges as belonging to the same group according to whatever our classification criteria are.

What if you can’t classify but only be conscious of input? Kinda like being in a super dreamy state (or psychedelic one). From that state of consciousness, numbers aren’t real but reality can be (in the psychedelic case).

Just brainstorming
So I keep hearing the same two narratives over and over, we printed money and what do we expect (?), and supply chain issues. However, there is a third (and likely more) thing going on and that is megacorporate monopolies. Take toilet paper, the market has now completely consolidate on three major players (rule of three), Proctor & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, and Georgia-Pacific. Just looking at P&G we can see y/y (https://www.google.com/search?q=procter%26+gamble+q4+2021+ea...)

Revenue 20.95B +6.12%
Net income 4.22B +9.57%
Diluted EPS 1.66 +12.93%
Net profit margin 20.15% +3.23%

During the last year they have paid ~3% dividend on top of buying back billions of stock (https://ycharts.com/companies/PG/stock_buyback), in Q4 they increased their buyback from ~3B->4.75B.

With all do respect supply chain/monetary policy concerns are a cover for what is really going on, lack of competition in the market. A rational market with multiple competitors and no price fixing, would prompt at least one of the competitors that is sitting on billions of extra money to drop prices. As a result they would increase sales and make up the profits in volume, this would prompt their competitors to follow suit or else lose customers and market share. You know Econ101.

The market is not rationale right now as we have allowed these mega mergers and pushed out all small competitors. That 7.5% inflation is them coordinating prices and sticking the profits back into their investors pockets, then using supply chain and monetary policy as cover in the media.

While lack of testing under-reports cases, it does show trends. There's also the covid symptom tracker which can be used to infer the true infection rate.

You can dive into it, but by all metrics cases are going in countries that started their omnicron wave mid to late December

If you look to Nova Scotia, you can also see hospitalization peaking and arguably decreasing, aprox 1-2 weeks after reported cases peaked. (Nova Scotia is a good case because it started the Omnicron wave 2-3 weeks before the rest of Canada)

It's because they wrongfully believed that they can manage the expectations of reality to the extent that they can change reality. They are of course wrong, but economics is an ideological backwater farce of a science (I am trained in it). It was a convenient belief, because it allowed central bankers to blame their own citizens, rather than interest rate policy.
I don't believe so, their decline of quality and trustworthiness has been going on longer than cuts to the license fee.

> The sad thing is that they own much less(how much?) than 58% of the stock.

The 'special' shares have 20 votes per share - could be as low as 3% of the company. It's hard to see why anyone would invest in a company where someone who was deemed incompetent to be CEO but still has a massive control of the board.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-02-08/peloto...

I wonder if this will be a big issue for companies that look floundering and whose CEO/Founders are seen to be unable to control it - I've seen a few articles about Zuckerburg not being the right CEO for FB/Meta anymore (he also has over 50% of the votes) - if their share price did a few more 25% drops...

I think we agree. If the average search advertiser gave me the same benefits that some loyalty programs do, I'd feel a lot better about them. I.e. if I got points for the data I provided in my browsing habits that translated into actual dollars, I'd be game to let them have it. If I wanted to "not swipe my loyalty card for this purchase" to leave it out of my history, I'd appreciate the granular control.

The issue with all the tracking is that most consumers have no choice, no functional UI to interact with the tracking systems, and no clear idea of who they are ultimately transacting with.

Thankfully the new omicron variant isn’t very good at infecting the lungs and stats in the upper respiratory tract. This means it doesn’t enter the blood and doesn’t have a chance to wreak havoc on the rest of the body. Since vaccinated people are primarily getting omicron and the booster is able to drastically improve the immune response I wouldn’t be overly worried.
> There are too many dollars in the economy. Because people have money, they want to buy cars

At least wrt cars, isn’t the knock-on pandemic effect by far driving the shortages? (Chips, disruptions in just-in-time, etc) rather than people have more money to spend on them?
You’re just illustrating why this isn’t an issue requiring legislation - anyone can block requests to whatever origin they like. No need for heavy handed gov’t getting involved in technical matters.

Schrems II (and the Privacy Shield invalidation) has been in response to the aggressive data collection by the US government, and the extra-territorial nature of legislation used to achieve this. The US is able regain access to the EU market by repealing/changing CLOUD act and similar legislation, so I personally don't think this is (primarily) done to block US companies. However I am not the one implementing these rulings, so the best I can is speculate.

I am a security researcher referenced in the winning web-hacking technique on that list ("Dependency Confusion" by Alex Birsan [1]) and was ranked 7th in Portswigger's 2019 issue [2,3]. My motto has always been "Learn to make it; then break it." In other words, I invest a lot of time familiarising myself with technologies and specifications before examining how their implementation might lead to security flaws. This process usually requires reading a lot of technical documentation and source code, and becoming acquainted with how organisations implement said technologies.

Once I feel comfortable with my understanding of the subject material, I start to think about how certain aspects of the technology could lead to security flaws or interesting areas of research. At times this may require out-of-the-box thinking or can even be the result of pure luck.

The "bug bounty" aspect of this all tends to come into play once I want to find case studies for my research.

> I mean CNIL does not exactly have a reputation of helping/protecting users... they more have a reputation of being a watchdog who sees no problem with government surveillance programs and does not react when you send them reports of illegal activities surrounding personal data

We have a very different view of the CNIL.

Every time I hear about them, they're either giving GDPR fines or signalling illegal government activity, eg: https://www.vie-publique.fr/en-bref/278140-drones-de-surveil...

They don't have political power in itself, but they do use what power they have enthusiastically.
Very true.

I think we will see a two pronged approach to the Problem.

On the EU level, the commission and the states will engage Google directly while on a national level individual companies will be "encouraged" to find alternatives.
What's more, even in a perfect market as you describe, advertising will only ever represent the subset of the solution space for any given problem that involves spending money. With how powerful a voice advertising has, we end up training people to deal with problems by buying rather than doing/learning/making.

In a perfect market, the top ad would be for the best treadmill. You'd never see an ad for just going outside for a run.
