Thanks for that perspective. When reading these replies, each person contributes such a distinct and yet clear analysis, it begs the question of whether we are delivering the intended outcome of an agent provocateur. Alternatively, can one view today's advertising techniques in a positive light? The mental gymnastics required to answer that question are certainly more acrobatic if you choose any but the most shallow reply. This is the nature of insidious yet profitable devices. We all know the answer, but the persistence required to defeat these efforts is beyond most.
Number of guns isn't the issue IMHO.

The number of people who don't follow basic instructions is. "Put your hands on the wheel. Or put your hands up.

Also, the number who want to argue and resist. If you've been told to drop the gun on the ground in front of you, but choose to wave it instead, you should expect you will be disarmed, even if it results in your death. Reaction time kills.
I've had that happen occasionally, but it's happened to me less as of late. But it doesn't surprise me that it's a problem the company doesn't take seriously. That seems to be the standard response of tech companies; don't actually take feedback from customers or at least acknowledge their complaints.
Anyone with debt gets a win when inflation is high, as it basically shrinks their debt.

Its a good thing in the short term for a specific group of people, but generally not good at all for the macro-economy or society in the long run.

You see the consequences of low interest rates in other ways, ie housing prices.

One can debate whether companies in general should use "associate" to refer to all their employees given that it has a specific meaning in some contexts, e.g. Big Law. Nonetheless, many companies do so. (Probably because employee has some specific legal meaning.) So it's not lying to basically say they worked here. I expect that many companies do this and it seems entirely appropriate.
OK, but how's it different from the current world?
It is necessary to process personal information for that purpose. That's what the sales records are.

You probably have to declare that the data is processed for that purpose in general terms but I don't see why consent would be necessary. Anyway, this analytics service claims it doesn't do this kind of analysis.

I set up something similar using ZeroTier "public" networks and the libzt Python userspace library.

My use-case was to allow bitbucket hosted instances to connect to private instances in my infrastructure to push code to as part of the build pipeline. They way they are running Docker at bitbucket, you can't run the normal zerotier processes (IIRC, it wasn't allowed to create a tun/tap device).

The zerotier public networks are networks that anyone can join given the network ID, without requiring an admin to authorize them.

I wrote a python-based "ztproxy" [1] which you can call from SSH as a ProxyCommand like: `ProxyCommand /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/ztproxy /tmp 1234567890abcdef 9994 10.3.2.1 22`. On top of that I had SSH public key authentication of both the remote host and the local user, so even if the network ID was exposed, it wouldn't have been wide open. I also had ZeroTier network level rules that only allowed the SSH traffic.

It's unsettling that these behind the scenes database/cliques exists.

Some time ago, I listened to a podcast (might be NPR) that talked about an employee, who left a financial firm, couldn't find a new job. Every opportunity to which he applied, either rejected him with unconvincing reasons or ghosted him. Later he found out that his previous manager poisoned the well in some shady database to make sure his life outside that job will be miserable.

A couple of genuine questions for you, not to lessen the good fortune advertising has brought you.

Did you go to eat at Taco Bell because of the ad? Would you have already, and perhaps seen it on their menu boards and tried it as a result?

Were you really not aware of these other taco places, and only became aware of them due to billboards? I know of 2/3 of them, I haven't heard of Taco Time (live in the midwest), but I've heard of the rest from people I know. I don't think I've seen any of them advertised here, but I could be wrong.
> Transient in this sense only applies if we're taking about fractions of a decade, not fractions of a year.

I don't know the answer to this, but if the choice is either let inflation run hot like this for another couple of years or engineer a recession, is there a clear policy answer? The benefits of a hot economy seem to outweigh the downsides from the perspective of high employment, but perhaps not in other ways.

Just 2 years ago, the worry was whether we would end up in a deflationary spiral and have no real policy levers to exit. Given the lag time for any policy response to take effect, it seems really hard to get correct. I definitely don't envy anyone who's making policy decisions on this.

the advantage gets priced into desirable markets. If interest rates go up, house prices go down. Why? because people cannot afford to mortgage as much when they pay more interest per dollar borrowed.

inflation (or the expectation for ones income to keep up with inflation) incentivizes spending more on houses (so long as the mortgage APR is below inflation) because the inflation is eating the debt YoY. So you may as well buy a lot of house.

That is until they raise the rates, or your income doesn't rise, etc.

Then see 2008.
Starbuck refers to their employees as partners in addition to an actual title. (I worked for HEB in high school, which did the same thing.) If they genuinely had no titles for anyone beyond partner, then yes, that would be fine. Apple doesn't work like that.
It depends. If you're invested in the stock market, last year was very good for being retired. The S&P 500 was up 27%. (Most retirees will have invested more conservatively, but still.)

It's not good for being retired without having much retirement savings or not investing it, though.
South Korea released propaganda, which you bought, and are still buying years after seeing empirically that it makes no sense.

Australia implemented absolutely dystopian contact tracing decisions, countrywide lockdowns, left its citizens abroad, and it's still clear that every single person in that country is going to get COVID. It will be endemic, just like it is everywhere else. Even worse, the country has by-and-large taken a vaccine which gives them resistance to a spike protein that is not the most common in today's COVID cases. Recent (simian) experimentation has shown that the Omicron booster is not effective for previously vaccinated individuals.

You will not see long term differences in outcomes between Canada, the US, and countries like South Korea or Australia. Our measures did not work, do not work, and are exclusively security theater. Countries which 'have things under control' are either extremely ruthless in their lockdown and travel approach, and have deferred pain, or are lying on the numbers.
Dart is not fhat much better.

It’s not about what you collect. It’s about consent and transparency. I can log into my government website and literally see anything about myself that is known to the government. If you get arrested, your name isn’t released to the press so you can continue your life afterwards. If you go to jail, and apply for a job afterwards, they do a background check. If the job has nothing to do with what you got arrested for, it comes back clean. These are all sensible things. When I grew up in the US, I had absolutely no privacy or expectation of privacy with the digital world. I don’t miss it.
It's also important that they know, so no one is surprised when the next release goes out with those changes and it turns out that an edge case wasn't tested. You don't want to have to explain that something broke because you made a decision on your own to clean up the code.

When you're getting permission to do something like that, management is deciding if the risk/reward tradeoff is worth it, and I think it's only fair to give them the opportunity to make that analysis.

I'm not sure the psychic burden of debt is always worth missing the upside of inflation. I irrationally pay down low-interest loans even though it mathematically makes sense to invest those payments in something higher yielding. However paying off a loan to completion feels fantastic.

> To the extent that we can agree on speed limits that delineate the difference between safe and unsafe behavior

That can’t be the case though? If the posted limit is the boundary between safe and unsafe, drivers will be close to the limit all the time, and really in danger should they exceed it. The limits have to be set well away from that boundary, and the boundary itself has to assume the lowest common denominator of driver and vehicle.

I think that's why average speed cameras feel especially unsporting. A reasonable driver in a modern car could beat a posted limit by 10% while remaining so far inside their safety envelope they wouldn't even notice.

> The Fed has held interest rates at 0 (negative, real terms) which makes all cash flows effectively infinite net present value.

No, it doesn't. Net present value (NPV) of future cashflows is defined [1] as the sum over time periods of the ratio of the cashflow in the k-th period to one plus the discount rate raised to the power of k:

NPV = sum_k r_k / (1 + i)^k

where i is the discount rate. Note that we are dividing by (1+i)^k, not by i^k. Thus, when i=0 the formula above simplifies to

NPV = sum_k r_k

and NPV is just the sum of all future cashflows. No infinity enters the picture.

The point is though that a EU citizen has zero privacy rights when data is transferred to the US. Zero. Not US level protection, not EU level protection - just fair game.

For that simple reason the EU has to step in. There is no other way.
This court case makes it illegal since, while the user might consent to GA tracking, they legally can't consent to giving up their GDPR rights. Given that, the US law enforcement could still break GDPR by forcing the US corporation to hand over EU citizens' data.

My CS advisor in undergrad stirred a love of safety in me with Ada. I've always wanted to get back into it. Recent headlines have made me think that Rust will move in that domain. In 10 years, probably a lot of safety-critical systems will use a lot of Rust. Ada was (to my knowledge) never particularly well accepted by "the masses", whereas Rust is. It was just too early.

Because people lie, constantly. And while most of time they they might not be, it happens often enough that companies pay people to background check applicants. It's not good, but it's seemingly necessary, or at least desired.

philosophically, is there really a way we can claim that advertising makes you want things in a way that's wrong, as opposed to in way that causes enjoyment just like when you normally want things?

If I have a product I know someone will want and attempt to sell it to them, I'm doing a good thing. If I have a product I know someone shouldn't buy and attempt to sell it to them, I'm doing a bad thing. If I don't give a damn what they want and attempt to sell it to them, the probability of falling on the "bad thing" end of the spectrum is very high.
That doesn't seem to be true though. There are multiple countries outside the EU that have an adequacy decisions regarding their privacy laws like: Japan, South Korea, Canada, UK, Isreal, etc. They can host EU data without issues.

The only reason the privacy shield agreement was thrown out was due to lack of safe guards from US intelligence.

Even without the privacy shield, US companies would still be able to store EU data in a country with an adequacy decision if it wasn't for the CLOUD act. This seems more to do with US law wanting access to EU data.
