> Except that the US doesn't have a functioning legislative branch, so the corrective feedback action never happens. That's neither the judiciary's problem nor purview. Its yours (and mine) as voters.

A reasonable expectation of privacy is not absurd. I don't think anyone cares if you're gathering data about how many cars pass through the Holland Tunnel everyday. But that's not what this is about, is it? It's about ho

The highest rate of psychopathy I've experienced was amongst technologists thrust into leadership positions; they believe that people are tools, and thus reduce them to numbers, that everything can be operationalized and optimized, inc

This is great. The sooner MSFT kills itself in this way, the sooner major institutions who are tired of this can switch to alternatives.

Be transparent in how you pad estimates. This builds trust with stakeholders so that when things go awry, you can remind them. Require anyone who reports to you during the planning process to do the same; provide the most accurate estimate

You MOST NOT GET in the way of me doing the thing I need to do on my computer. My computer is how I interface with the critical functions of my life; family, friends, income, entertainment. That is important time to me. If you put any frict

This is a terrible, terrible misconception about what constitutes a farm and farming! Yes you can 'farm' on an industrial scale, or you can 'farm' on your parking strip. You're right when it comes to the former, a

1. Proportionality. Fines should be proportional to the company's size, revenue, and the severity of the violation. The financial impact should be significant enough to grab the company's attention and incentivize change. 2. Escal

So what you're saying is, Google's own internal structural incompetence means they cannot be trusted with data of any type. Huh!

Yes, exactly. Imagine spending your life developing something so brilliant and wonderful, so well-loved that even your descendants can benefit, and then have some technocrat decide he was going to destroy that with a single keystroke.

"Most authors know that things like this help their reach and ultimately make people more likely to buy their books in the long run." This is a huge, HUGE false belief amongst the technocrats who think they are on the side of the

Yes, I am replying to the parent comment. It is rational for publishers to want to protect their business models.

Have been saying this for a while now, mostly as a result of 'post truth'. "The primary goal of early education was to enable sound thinking, not aggregation of facts, because there just weren’t that many facts to be known.&q
