Road safety is a regulation problem first and foremost, we could have safer roads today if we cared. Also, less cars are needed on the roads, not more and especially not driverless ones.

So why all the dishonesty? Let's just write that (or nothing at all). That could be respected.

What threat model do you have in mind? I don't think voting every 4 years helps with accountability that much either in practice.

I like how the word neither subtly recognizes majority voting leads to mostly 2 party systems.

Democracy would be better off without voting, Sortition [1] is vastly superior method of electing representatives. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

Is it not? Obviously there are different shades, but reiterating how the top chefs know each other and how one can hook someone with the rest is imo over the threshold. Of course everyone is entitled to their own interpretation, nevertheles

the practice among those with power or influence of favouring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs. All the great chefs know each other. Do right by one and they tend to hook you up with the others. You might be right. I

You are basically rewording nepotism so you don't have to call it by name. As for his writing, I didn't find him sounding "like an a hole". To me, he sounds like a normal human being communicating honestly. To each the

Nepotism by definition can't be consistent with meritocracy. Cooking might be more taxing than sitting in an office, but come on, it is not exactly coal mining either. Sorry, I don't buy into his arguing from authority pov and not

Being vulgar not makes it more honest in my book. Also, on one hand he tries to sell cooking as a meritocracy, on the other he says cooking is not for fat and old people and btw it is full of nepotism. Sounds dishonest to me.

even if we only wanted to analyze the data in aggregate. Does moz://a do this? Analyze data in aggregate exclusively? Otherwise I understand Prio is inferior in granularity to Telemetry? How should one interpret data aggregation

by a_imho 8y ago
It is probable me but I don't understand what are the advantages here or what that picture supposed to convey. Data is transmitted and aggregated, albeit in a fancier way. What does it have over Telemetry?

This is the sentiment I see a lot and fits my experience as well. At best 1v1 are a good outlet for managers to look busy and feel important, at worst they are a trap. Anything you say can and will be used against you.

No, the problem is exclusive to autoplay (in fact, I recall youtube adding some click through pause into videos, but I don't see them now). I'm no advertiser, but simply introducing autoplay into the mix is kinda fraud imo. With h

Personally I prefer the finer grained controls of The Atlantic, but that is still better than 99% of the rest. Though I'm not sure about the wording, it only says 'advertising cookies'.

Google, as far as I know, was never caught in dark ui patterns or fake number reports to generate revenue. They don't seem to need it. Autoplay videos with ads?

If you are in EU consider the new ICO rules... Up to 8 million within eu countries. What rules? Could you elaborate?

Completely off topic but The Atlantic's GDPR notice is the least intrusive and most compliant I've seen so far. Good job.
