Is tech really that relatively cushy? Because I'd quit for either of these, and I don't have any reason to fear them.

> Uber’s refusal to fingerprint drivers betrays that they know they have lots of criminals on their rolls. Is it normal to be fingerprinted for a job? It would be seen as an incredible overreach here. Then again, so would a drug test.

The expected time you spend on it is much less than the expected time they'll spend on it.

I suppose you could interpret it either way, but having dealt with their interview pipeline I'd choose the snark.

More "no Facebook until you've done your homework" than "the government is going to ban ice cream and that's a good thing", though.

Very unimpressive compared to China. Typical, the UK lagging behind on tech.

Please don't gavage children. That's (presumably) more psychologically damaging than social media.

Well no-one is forcing me to wear pink on Sundays. This mere fact is not exactly an argument for banning the practice, is it?

Please cite reliable studies rather than just-so stories.

Well, yes? At least, I've never force-fed a toddler.

The practices may be well documented but the studies are... flimsy. Please send meta analysis for my consumption.

As far as I know, consumption of "socially-undesirable" pornography is correlated with a reduction in the corresponding acts themselves. Should we presume you're anti-depiction then, but pro actus reus?

You can present anything as positive. Ever since Lady Chatterley's Lover.

Sadly I don't think these are unpopular policies. At least not before they are implemented. The British public love a good ban.

Porn block ineffective at capturing enough personal data. UK considers how it can build its own great firewall.

They do check geolocation on order submit. You can read the site from anywhere, though.

The EU member states are still sovereign, though. This French court ruling doesn't really affect the prospects of certain kinds of privacy in Germany. I think the parent might have been referring to the fact they didn't raise a

What's ominous about it?

It's Europe; salaries suck across the board. That's the market, so there are no competing offers. Then again it's incredibly hard to fire people. Maybe they should start a union after all.

They can get away with it because iOS users have a higher propensity to pay than any other platform. So it's often not a good idea to stop caring about iOS, assuming you want to make money, anyway. Even if you don't, iOS users a

End-to-end types and a single(-ish) binary simplifies a lot of things. Plus you can always just .clone() and .unwrap() if you want to be lazy/prototype something.

I don't think I was rude. You're overcomplicating the architecture here for no good reason. It might be common to do so, but that doesn't make it good practice. And ultimately I think it's your job as a professional t

If we're purely talking about music then almost everything is on YouTube, which has a subscription cost of $0/mo.

> These do not have to be separate services, but they are separate enough to warrant it. All of this arises from your failure to question this basic assumption though, doesn't it?

At least in my place of work, my non-technical manager is actually on board with my crusade against complex nonsense. Mostly because he agrees it would increase feature velocity to not have to touch 5 services per minor feature. The other

Hardly, asymptotic behavior can be anything, in fact that's the whole question: what happens to AI performance as we tend to infinity? Asymptoting to `y = x` is very different to levelling off.

> This argument requires us to believe that AI will just asymptote and not get materially better. That's not what asymptote means. Presumably what you mean is the curve levelling off, which it already is.

Because modern cookie directives and browser configs neuter a lot of the worst XSS outcomes/easiest exploit paths. I would expect all the big sites to be setting them, though I guess you never know.
