Where do the natural materials which are used to make the car come from?

What about the materials which make the road network that the cars drive on?

There is another side of the coin though. If the "countering" software is smart enough to analyze the semantics and the meaning of the sentence (which I think will definitely have the ability to), it can easily convert it to an intermediate representation and create an actually gramatically correcy, good looking, easy to understand sentences.

It can even improve the original text, making it more clear and anonymous-style.
The most stupid question is when they ask you if you are a terrorist or plan a terrorist attack in America. Even if someone would be a terrorist, why would someone give an honest answer to this question.

It's not trite and I wish people didn't need to feel like apologizing for it.

This has been central to my life the last several years, this culture and person-fit issue. I've seen it play out with friends and family and it's surprising to me it isn't recognized as such. A close friend went from almost literally rockstar status at one place, and moved for reasons that had nothing to do with him or where he was at. He completely fell apart performance-wise at the new place because he didn't fit in to the same extent, went back, and now is doing great again. I don't think the new place was bad, or him, it was just this poor person-culture fit issue.

My spouse was somewhere she was treated like dirt, never quite welcomed into the team (she wasn't the only one, but it was the case nevertheless), and then treated her like a failing employee when she wasn't acting the way they wanted her to (however that was). She left, and now is bringing in more money for the new company than any other employee, in large part in my opinion just because they actually let her be part of the team (this second place is actually a much larger company).

The experience of being siloed is awful, and even if you are intrinsically motivated, can be completely demotivating, because if it's bad enough, it leads to this feeling of complete loss of control where you're at. There's also all these little things that even if you're super competent, you might need help with, just as a function of being a human being as part of a larger organization.

I could go on with stories like this, but suffice to say I think in a lot of places management often doesn't look inward enough. I think the churn continues because for whatever reason the culture change is more painful for them to contemplate and implement than whatever losses are incurred by high turnover in a given position. The last place I was at had entire key units just resign completely together en masse, and the response after they left was "well I guess we're not good at [key function] so we'll just go on without that." In an important sense they had to narrow the scope of what they offer because of culture problems.

And yet we end up having these discussions of displaced employees not being "intrinsically motivated" enough, as if that happens in a vacuum.

I run a B2C e-commerce business, and want to offer a little insight into this from the other side.

Advertising online has changes a lot over the last ten years, I don’t believe advertisers are particularly happy about it.

On Google we almost exclusively just to search result page advertising, very little display network and re-marketing. My comment here is about search result place adverts, with is where Google started and why they are so successful.

As an advertiser search result page as arising is amazing, you are paying to get you product in front of people you pretty sure are already looking for it or something like it. When it works it’s magic.

Ten years ago when we stated it was super simple, you would bid individually on keywords that people are searching for, and the tracking on your site was only about attributing advert clicks to conversions for reporting. There was no (or very little) data mining and profile building, at least from my perspective as an advertiser.

Then came the “shopping ads”, you upload a list of your products and google decided when to show them with their magical ML/AI. As an advertiser you could only use “negative keywords” . Gone was the ability to control properly when your ad was shown.

The latest is “smart shopping ads”, it’s a great big magic black box, and all advertisers are bing agreeably pushed towards it, all calls with google advisors are basically sales calls push it on you. Advertisers have basically no control of when their ad is shown, it’s all down to AI/ML. They have also folded the display network and re-marketing into this, you can’t turn that bit off.

I am pretty sure the old keyword bidding is on its way out will not be available in a few years.

In order for all these new ML based advertising work we have to send google a lot of data, there is no option. They know everything about your business, all revenue numbers, they no exactly how much every business that uses their advertising is making. The level of “spying” on advertisers is frankly amazing, I wish it wasn’t necessary, just as I wish I wasn’t being spied on as a user.

Google have made a rot for their own back, they need this data for the ads to work and advertisers have no choice. I believe part of the problem is that the old style keyword bugging relied on advertisers being able to see what peoples search terms were, due to GDPR I think this is no longer possible and so they have to go the ML route.

I long for going back to super simple search ads with just simple attribution.
For me, the phone and laptop are full of online productivity killers like HN and Reddit. Staying off them is a struggle. With a pen in hand and work notebook open, there is no urge to do anything but work with it.

Other than that I just note all to-do's with checkboxes and write short notes, sometimes I work out a project idea into a larger plan. I number the to-do's to see if that becomes useful some day, and to force me to consider how old some of them are.

On Mondays I review the last week and the first Monday of the month I do a thorough review of the last, deciding if each unchecked item is still relevant and moving the ones that are over to this month.

But the first point is the most important.
This company bought their way into the VR industry by buying Occulus, why haven't they bought VR chat and second life and merged the two instead of embarassing themselves?

Thank god they didn't. Seeing this company fail at least tells us that they could not ruin VR as much as people feared.
Folks, this stuff only works because of browser fingerprinting.

Google couldn't do this before, because letting the ad-displaying website sit between them and the user meant the websites could defraud google like crazy.

This idea isn't new. What's new is that browser fingerprinting got good enough that google can catch fraudful customers by sending fingerprinting scripts through their proxy and watching what comes back.
It's based on JS. There's your solution. I disabled JS in the browser for nearly 2 decades and I can still use most of the web (HN included).

You are blind to the solution because you don't want to take responsibility for your own browsing. You and people like you won't change, will whine about how nothing can be done while not being prepared to understand the problem is yourself and that's where the solution lies as well. When google screws you over, remember you chose that (maybe by omission rather than commission, but you chose).

Couldn’t be further from reality.
There are many political, cultural, and geographical definitions of Europe. Sometimes Israel is a part of Europe, and sometimes a small part of Kazakhstan is in Europe. Sometimes the EU, the EEA, the Schengen Area, and the Eurozone are also called Europe, even though they cover only a part of Europe.

It's as if Europeans deliberately wanted to make life difficult for people who believe in categories.
The Spanish Catholics wiped out the entire culture of the Maya and the Inca. Four copies of the Maya codexes remain because the church destroyed the rest. The Inca quipu were destroyed en masse - we’re just now re-learning that they were more than just accounting. Both the Spanish and American churches committed cultural genocide against American Indians on an enormous scale. The destruction wrought by the church on the world includes the intentional wholesale destruction of the indigenous culture and history of the entire Western Hemisphere, and that’s just part of the blood ledger for one particular sect of Christianity.
So they get you for lying on the application - which can be criminal, even if they won't have proof the actual act. It's quite a standard practice.

I guess a diplomatic passport would make you immune from requiring ETIAS. Those can more or less be bought from some countries (e.g. from the USA. Heavily sponsor a president’s election and before you know it you’re ambassador in some European country)

Alternatively, apply for asylum in one of the countries and start traveling to other EU countries (that’s not allowed, but not because it requires ETIAS, I think)

Also, parachuting in is relatively easy, but how do you get out?
The Opera product you are thinking of is Opera Mini. Opera Mobile is a browser running mostly on your device (except for "turbo" which optimized media trough a proxy setup, but did not, afaik, execute any of the javascript).

Opera Mini can be looked at as a browser running in the cloud, sending OBML (Opera Binary Markup Language, if I remember correctly) causing the (very thin) client to draw things on the mobile screen, like text, images, etc without having to transfer, parse, execute, flow and paint every thing on the device.
Those are (nice) solutions to a problem that shouldn't be allowed to (legally) exist.

Many are upset about that reality. But I've been observing politics for many decades and I haven't seen anything better. NY doesn't do recalls (or didn't when I lived there, maybe it changed). California does allow them but that seems to result in an altogether different clown show.
My favorite question has been on there since the beginning though.

Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide?

I am always tempted by the imp of the perverse to answer yes. That genocide just sounds so inviting.

The US asks if you have been to places like Iraq, Iran, Libya etc since 2011. If you do, you can’t ESTA, you need a visa.

Work would like me to go to Iraq, which is fine. They’ll pay for me to get a US Visa too.

Trouble is in 20 years time when I want to go to NY for my kids wedding or whatever, I’ll still have to answer “yes” to the “I visited Iraq” question, and I won’t be working for the company that sent me there, so I’d have to go for the long arduous process of prostrating myself at the US embassy to beg for a visa, incurring a large expense to do so. Just because the stamp isn’t in my active passport doesn’t mean I can answer “no” to the question

It’s not like Israel, where the stamp would cause problems but they don’t ask (or the other way round where an Israeli stamp would cause problems going to Iran).

Even when I apply for a visa and have to list every country (often in a comically small box with like 100 characters max length), like with India, it only asks “what could tries have you visited in the last 10 years”
Delightful. Let’s take the reciprocity one step further: send a few travellers back from the airport on a whim and refer to them as “illegals” while doing it.
This might also be one of those things that you have to accept that can't be done consistently well. Although there's probably many ways you can pick up to not do it badly.
> Sure, but there's no reason why the IRS couldn't have a website where everything it does know is pre-filled, and then could ask you about things they don't know about (and even hint at the kind of things that they wouldn't know).

Just the way it works in saner countries like France. Things the tax authority knows are pre-filled, and I'm asked about the rest. So yes, there's no reason besides the fact that many companies would lose their business ( like TurboTax), so they lobby against it.

After reaching that percentile the grind begins. And that's when learning begins. And that's when you develop character. The dopamine doesn't flow as freely any more as obstacles to improvement become the rule rather than the exception. Braggadocious anecdote: on December 25th, 2021, I started solving Kattis problems. I set myself a goal to reach a top 1000 rank in 2022. This took me two weeks instead of an entire year. I adjusted the goal to top 100. This is significantly harder, and after two more weeks I was tempted to dismiss the goal through excuses like: "these are just puzzles with limited real-world application". This is obvious bullshit, and I just wanted to avoid doing the work. I caught myself in the act and doubled down on the goal. I bought some books and learned a lot. Currently sitting on #229, and I _will_ reach top 100 this year.

Do we really need more or new legislation if there is still ample room for improvement on the enforcement side of GDPR. Just a not so far stretch: all or most of the GDPR supervisors now think Google Analytics is a no-go. Publish this and an intention to fine say 2% of revenue, set an expiration date six months ahead and do a EU-tender for a scraping facility finding all users of Google Analytics. Then in six months, re-scrape and send out the fines. Rinse and repeat.

Google Tag Manager could be declared illegal on the outset, with a 5 to 10% fine for Google if they continue to offer it in the EU. Do a top-down assessment of the usage of Google Tag Manager in the largest e-commerce users in Europe. Fine them as well. At the end of the day privacy enforcement could easily pay for itself.

(Edit: After typing this I think you were writing from a US perspective. I think GDPR is a big win as well, but enforcement is feeble ;)
That’s fine for visiting Israel (which rarely stamps nowadays) and Iran.

The US specifically asks “have you ever been to Iran”. You can lie, then get arrested in the US, or you can say “yes”, and have to go through the time and expense to get a US visa. Forever.
Those four countries should introduce visa entry requirements for US citizens until they enter the Schengen space.

Croatia might soon enter, but as a Romanian citizen and Bulgarian neighbors, I'm pretty sure we are far away from getting accepted.
You'd figure they can get them for terrorists.

It's crazy how law-oriented people are in the US. I'm sure they don't do bad things only because It iS ThE LaW, not because they are bad.

What? It's not like people are cancelling their flights so they could stay at home and watch a cat video?

What are the big expensive movies that Terrence Malick is making? His budgets have consistently shrunk over the years and his last film didn't even cost $10m. Coppola could easily get that. He just can't get $120m without giving up some creative control and he doesn't want to do that.
The US can also issue its citizens a second passport book for similar purposes.

>> If you're in e.g. Brazil, haha, yeah, good luck spending bitcoin or any other crypto and going unnoticed

South America is the greatest tumbler of all. I spent years in Argentina under the currency restrictions and paid my rent in Bitcoin, bought USD and pesos at black market rates in Bitcoin, all with people I met on localbitcoins and never using an exchange. I don't know about Brazil, but there is a huge market for peer to peer BTC in AR and UY, and you can just trade an envelope of cash over the table at a Starbucks in Buenos Aires for anywhere up to $10K USD.

In the USA I would be scared of being on camera, but I really doubt you would have that problem if you meet someone in a bar or on the beach in Brazil.

[edit] Just to explain this comment for people who think of BTC as something that you have to buy or sell on an exchange where you're allowing the endpoints to be tracked; the original reason for cryptocurrency was that you don't have to show your passport or link it to a bank account. That still obtains in lots of places in the world where people will happily give you their shitty paper money for bitcoin, and you can use the paper to pay your rent. Don't buy BTC on an exchange, and don't sell it on an exchange. Buy it from someone in person in a phone-to-phone transfer, or win it in a poker game. Keep it in a private wallet, not an exchange. Sell it P2P in person when you want to. You don't need to use an exchange at all.
