The regional Google Fonts ruling was an odd one. It had to do with Google processing the IP address, not whether the website was loading from any external domain at all. It did appear to be based on the court's misunderstanding of an IP address contacting a server to be data processing, and perhaps we're going in that direction, and won't be able to use even an extremely privacy-focused CDN without a formal data processing agreement, but that is not currently the intent of GDPR.

The advantage of a service like Simple Analytics remains; it does not store or process any user data.
I agree with you regarding the chromosome possibilities. However, aside from rare mutations and developmental anomalies, mammals are either XX or XY. The exceptions prove the rule, and one doesn’t discard all that evidence just to accommodate minor anomalies which have adequate explanations. If you did, science would make no progress.

Regarding your first paragraph, replace “biological” with “sociological”. Then, that is what has been done traditionally, in the absence of the recent ability to determine sexual genotype by DNA analysis.

> Low-cost areas are almost all not places you want to live with a family, if you have a choice.

The unsaid foundation of this obvious bit of snobbery is that only a handful of coastal US cities are suitable for families.

The median house price in the US is $408k. If you live in a market with a higher median price (for example: Washington, D.C. is $600k, LA is over $900k, SF has a median of $1.3m), you like in one of the most expensive US markets. It's obviously silly to say that people living in e.g. Atlanta ($375k) or Charlotte ($355k) or Chicago (median: $324k) are all living in places with "poor services for families and mediocre to bad public schools." (Also: the median sale price in SF will buy you a mansion in most of those other cities.)

Everybody won't be able to buy both a home and the experience in living in one of the most expensive cities, but they should be aware that it's a choice.
What happened in the following 4-5 years? A gargantuan crash.
Texas Instruments' surface-mount miniDIP chips were "new and risky but cheap", and one of the innovations that made their second design of the Polaroid circuitry successful. Aerospace had been using a lot of surface-mount in the 1960s, e.g. the Apollo Guidance Computer. But consumer electronics didn't really use surface mount until about 1990. I've wondered if there was any particular reason surface mount wasn't popular sooner.

FBI: $68M lost to SIM swapping attacks in 2021
200 years is not long time ago, the changes may be subtle. I’m not aware of any research in this field, but mass education improves our cognitive abilities and I won’t be surprised to see if natural selection favors those who respond to education better. Our species developed new ways to pass „genetic“ information to next generations beyond DNA. We may be almost the same as ancient human right after birth, but we acquire and encode in our behavior and body much more extra information as we grow. Our biome adjusts to our food habits, our hormonal system adapts to our level of stress, our immune system gets upgrades via vaccines etc etc. And all of this is controlled by our intelligence.

So if I dont know the long-term effect of COVID and I dont know the long-term effect of the vaccine the logical thing is to intentionally get the vaccine and deal with whatever may be the long-term effects later?

You didn't notice but your argument is actually one against being the first to take the vaccine. Since it is perfectly reasonable to assume that one can avoid getting COVID for a long time long enough to make a decision on actual numbers later on.
Would be cool to train an ML model to pick up the running shoes and orientation and put a camera by the garage. Spoofing concerns/false positives aside, maybe putting a tracking device in/on the shoe and listening for both those devices might be a better solution?
Ovulation generally corresponds to periods of increased randiness in women.

What, you think women are automatons that can't resist an instinctive prime directive to have babies when they are fertile?
This might be true in some cases. For example, I'd argue that doing a Cisco CCNA/CCNP certification is going to teach people not entirely familiar with the matter a ton of useful stuff about network technology in general even if they go to work on a Juniper site.

On the other hand, I've rejected all certs that relate to "_______ certified architect/developer/whatever", most famously pushed in our company as the "AWS certified in-house advertiser".

In any case, those certs are extremely lucrative business.

> The BBC has an entirely separate board that should have no relationship to the current government in power

The director/board all report to the Queen, who defers to the government who enact mandates for the BBC. The government appoints senior members. I just don't see how you can say the BBC is autonomous in terms of what its board decides.

> From Wikipedia: The chair and four non-executive members representing the four nations are appointed by the Queen-in-Council, on the advice of the UK Secretary of State. Five other non-executive members are appointed by the board and the four executive members are chosen by the board.

I mean, seriously, how is that independent from the government? They literally have government appointed people on the board.

> Comparing the BBC to Sky is like comparing TfL to Uber

No it isn't. TfL is not a private car service, like at all. BBC and Sky are largely apples to apples in terms of their primary interests.

Sky manages to operate a very broad set of programming, a news division, its own distribution technology, Sky employes 10k more staff than the BBC too.

I think this article kinda sums up what I feel is the reality of the BBC's government independence: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/ourbeeb/bbc-is-neither-inde...
It's interesting how quickly a word can gain widespread acceptance. I don't recall seeing "payed" used outside of nautical contexts before a few years ago but now it's rapidly pushing "paid" out of use. It might not be to the 50% point yet but it's certainly spreading in use quickly and might become dominate soon.
It is interesting to read David Reich’s wonderful book “Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past”. He deals carefully and cautiously with the processes of human population “replacements”. So cautiously that the word “genocide” is not even in the index.

But with few exceptions, when I read between his lines, I see that ugly word tacitly, time and time again. Exceptions include some Celtic migration events, but in most cases the DNA results indicate major breaks in DNA haplotypes that are consistent with an unhappy end to one group.

And of course recent “sapiens” history gives us our own backyard examples—unrelenting!

If you read Napolean Chagnon’s “Nobel Savages” or Polly Wiessner’s and Akii Tumu’s “Historical Vines” you can get a good=bad gut feeling for what “replacement” probably meant operationally in pre-literate cultures. Sadly not much different since the invention of Greek orthography, Gutenberg’s printing press, TV and the internet. Us versus the Other is apparently the name of the human game.

If we could get everyone to absorb Richard Rorty’s pragmatic approach to a life well lived starting in grade school, now that would be real progress.

Am a self starting generalist. Every company I've worked for has desperately tried to beat it out of me.

Just that two ships are departing from a location does not mean they heading in the same direction.

It is true that both the EU and China are swiftly heading away from this unprecedented era of technology companies being able to act as they please abroad without impunity. It is an era that the US, which benefits from this arrangement greatly, understandably does not want to leave.

But what matters is why they are doing this, not that they are doing it. And in that regard it is much harder to find similarities.

I'm not sure if you're a US citizen or not but if you are then you know regardless of your opinion then there is nothing you can do about Naziism as long as they stay within parameters of the law. From a legal standpoint you're wrong, they absolutely can and do operate in the USA up and until the point they break the law. That's why there is a 1st amendment to protect our opinions from government intervention as long as it falls under protected speech. You can preach all the naziism that you want but the first time you attack someone because of the hate filled racism that it inspires or you collude to overthrow the government, then you're going to jail.
I think if your threat model involves that being risky, it's probably best not to use Plaid/Pelm/Arcadia. My threat model and that of any users I can imagine is not in that realm.
> Here's a thought. Supply chain shortages mean people are buying less and obviously some prices are sticky. For instance, I can't buy a new car regardless of price. The price takes a while to adjust wand when "supply chain" clears up, I'll just be able to buy my car at a higher price, further driving inflation.

I don't expect prices to fall back down meaningfully - especially after a few wage/price cycles. However, I do expect them to stop going up, which is just as good after a few wage/price cycles. There's no reason to think the prices will continue to go up 7% per year.

Especially when in your particular example, between January and February, the price of a new car went up 0%, and a used car went up 1.5%, down from last months 3.3%. [1] Gas prices are down 1% and piped gas down 0.5%. There are signs that things are starting to turn around.

> While it is true that not every money supply increase has led to inflation, almost all high inflationary periods coincided with the money supply growing.

Correlation != causation.

> I think you need to check again. We're at 26 S&P. Last time it was this high was 2008. Time before then was briefly in 1890s (not a typo)

It's currently 25.86. In 2020, it was 25. In 2018, it was 25. In 2009 it hit 123. In 2003, it was 32. In 2002 it was 46. In 2001 it was 27. In 1999 it was 33.

Yeah, it's a little higher than average, but that's likely just due to 0% interest rates and a newfound penchant for margin lending. I don't see that as particularly or inherently unhealthy or at all indicative of "asset inflation."

Quite right, I got carried away.

But my final two points stand, it frustrates me when I see arguments suggesting that all advertising is a net negative to society (ethically, environmentally, socially). The economic growth, and increase in quality of life, we have seen in the last 30 years is directly related to the web and therefore advertising.

That's true as well. Every competitor is making due with the set of circumstances they were given, so why should COVID be a unique circumstance? It's just another tactical decision, to do the run at that time.

Though I do agree with you that once human mastered nuclear fusion, it will only be a matter of time before we have to start worrying about overheating our planet. A potentially Sci-Fi solution would be to build planet-scale radiators to disseminate the waste heat.
>Can we be so sure?

We have enough studies on the impacts of nutrition in the womb and the impact of experience and neglect on brain development in children that we can be sure that intelligence is more advanced. More complex languages leads to more complex thoughts. Better nutrition leads to greater intelligence. Both for our normal communication but also for languages to describe abstract ideas like mathematics.

If this still doesn't sound definite, then I think we are getting into the issue of what is intelligence and how do you measure it in a person or a population. But then we would need to get into answering just how can we be sure humans are more intelligent than a wide selection of animals and even non-animals. Same for creativity and sophistication.

A major cause of Tenerife was that the KLM captain was under the impression that clearance had been granted and the Pan-Am had left the active runway. And that his fellow crew who had been listening were afraid to speak up. A lot of improvements have resulted from that terrible accident.

This should not be the responsibility of the website owner to comply with the laws of a country they don't have a presence in, presumably under threat of either extradition or arrest if they one day happen to enter the borders of the country.

If the website doesn't comply with the laws of the country, that country should block it, and that should be the extent to the action they can reasonably take. Unless you think Belarus should be able to arrest somebody passing through their airspace because, say, some other individual made a comment critical of Lukashenko on their blog?

I wouldn't be so quick to attribute those two events, which happen around the same time, as causal. I know a few teachers of young children and the things they love about their jobs is just that curiosity you're talking about. Unless you think it just takes a few years for the system to really beat them down, it's not exactly synchronous.

When thinking back on sitting through all the boring classes on subjects I wasn't interested in feels like it was a lot more of a me "problem". I find most of that stuff interesting now or at least appreciate that I had the exposure to it. It seems to me that I was much more interested in play and/or social development at the time.
There is so much I want to say about this comment! First of all, it sounds like you had a terrible experience because you picked a bad ISP. I sympathize. But then you generalize from that and imply that anyone wanting an EU host will experience the same. Obviously that's not true - or do you believe no good ISPs exist in France? Second of all, why did you fork your code? Did you write your service to use proprietary Azure APIs without regard to vendor lock-in? Why not take this as an opportunity to incrementally extract the proprietary apis out of your application and replace them with processes you actually own? This will allow you to undo the fork and continue on, able to deploy your application anywhere you want.
My (European) perspective is that, just like we need laws to protect privacy online, we do also need laws to institute freedom of speech online.

I'm not exactly sure what the right way to go about it is (obviously we shouldn't and cannot force every company online to publish whatever anyone wants to say), but fact is that right now you are at the mercy of private companies if you want to communicate online, and restricting freedom of speech to the proverbial "free speech zone" where discussion isn't actually happening is not a healthy state of affairs.

I'd probably at least advocate for something like net neutrality.. ISPs and hosting providers should not work as censors and arbiters of good taste. They should be more like utilities; as long as you're not doing anything illegal, what you do or say is none of their business. Unfortunately this isn't a solution for the common person whose communications are limited to platforms like facebook and twitter.

Timescale DevRel here!

Great observations around how popular and useful it is for systems to have some level of Postgres line compatibility! Thanks for doing the writeup!

One thing that's not totally clear in the comparison table is that most of these implementations are just that, databases providing an abstraction through the Postgres wire protocol over a different database architecture/parser & solution.

TimescaleDB, however, is the only one listed that is built directly on Postgres as an extension. There is no abstraction layer over some other implementation of the query parser or storage layer.

When it comes to application maintenance and developer expectations at query time, not all of these are apples-to-apples comparisons, as some of the other comments have noted.

> Maybe this is just a weak example but an ad that's like "do shoes hurt your feet for some reason? Maybe it's this! Buy our shoe to fix it!" seems a hell of a lot less likely to be useful than finding out why your foot hurts and getting informed advice on what will help.

You're absolutely correct. It is also true that many people will not have the means (insurance, for example!) to do that, nor will they have the motivation to do that in every case (think of how few people employ personal financial advisors, for example).

Also: an environment free of ads would almost necessarily eliminate (or corrupt, via paid placement) product review sites that seek to help people make informed decisions. De-monetizing impartial information sites seems like a bad outcome.

I don’t believe your parent is arguing for centralized planning in any shape or form.

Even the US knows rules for markets - it’s never entirely free. European laws just set more rules and give the consumers more rights - something I consider useful where there’s a strong imbalance in knowledge and power between the consumers and the companies offering a service.

There’s a theory that Neanderthals didn’t have very strong language skills. So just like you can communicate with the dog reasonably well, maybe we could have sort of communicated with Neanderthals. But nothing resembling the rich conversation that Homo sapiens is capable of. Bearing that theory in mind, the humans would have just been much more able to out-compete, deceive, and defeat Neanderthals little by little over time.
