Nah, that's just author over complicating simple thing (quite common among Haskell programmers). If he thought for a moment before starting Haskell, he would find out that associativity is enough for map reduce operation.

I agree about the taste, but I don't think it's caused by variety taste difference. Problem is that when tomatoes are imported from further away, they are picked and transported (more) unripe and later exposed to ethylene gas to r

That was just example. Because of Wayland's security model of sandboxing applications, none such tool will work. Currently afaik only way to do something similar is using /dev/uinput as does for instance ydotool , but its

I didn't expect having to qualify everything I say to the context of a discussion and topic on hand. I don't agree on your definition of personal data. Phone numbers and email addresses of my contacts are personal information that

I'm not a hard core libertarian to argue about whether banning drugs is good, but even in your scenario customers having information about what is the "medication" made of and any addictive properties those things might have

I don't know why you are bringing Facebook into this. Its business model is completely different, afaik it doesn't offer paid subscription to opt out of all tracking. This is known as straw man fallacy - misrepresenting someone&#x

I don't share your paternalistic view of having to police people's actions. Giving informed consent to use some data (and eventually ability to withdraw that consent when the business between the parties ends) should be enough. An

How is giving choice between paying with money or paying with data forcing users into signing their rights away?

I'm surprised about: >Consent must also be freely given. The DPA highlighted that users should have a real choice not to consent without any negative consequences. Grindr made use of the app conditional on consenting to data sharing

>The former civil servant, Anchan Preelert, was sentenced to 87 years, but her prison term was cut in half because she agreed to plead guilty. I looked her up, she is 65 now. I don't know why she even bothered pleading guilty.

I don't think it's just English audiences. I thought this was normal overall. Where does it not work like that?

I think that need of public outcry to stop such ludicrous infringement of freedom of expression is enough to show where Germany stands.

At first glance it looks great but at second it seems kinda sketchy. I see no info on which organization is running it and why should they be trusted. And even though it boasts about "no censorship", they write the "service p

I agree those are problems, but I don't see startups solving them (except for nr. 2). ad 1) There are already quite easy ways to be somewhat resilient - people who do that are preppers, who are by majority considered to be crazy. Conte
