The extreme right won the Dutch elections though - and they’re not the only country - so your argument that “best case (...) number 2” isn’t true. They can and do win elections.

That's a nonsensical load of hyperbole, pardon my French. It's not particularly difficult to be careful with personal data, it's just inconvenient and prevents all kinds of uses that can make you money - which is why US corpo

That's a very ambitious 12 weeks. If you would be aiming at complete beginners this looks more like a year of work.

So, what are the implications of this for spam detection? This is clearly spam, sent in an automated way, but nearly indistinguishable from an e-mail written by a human. We need to update our spam filtering techniques, fast. Somehow. But ho

Personal responsibility is overrated. In almost all of the examples you mention, direct government intervention can and does lead to positive health outcomes for individuals and for the whole of society. It just seems like that's almos

You don't know that. After all, Chrome comes from Webkit, which comes from Khtml, which comes from a huuuge one-person rewrite of basically a whole browser engine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHTML#Re-write_and_i

That's the old usage of the word "chrome", as far as I know.

You make it sound like the EU is the only one interested in stuff like this... but you do know that all your communications are already monitored and recorded by the NSA and that the person who revealed it is in hiding from the US governmen

That’s… wrong? The amount of plastic would decrease every day (assuming no new production), so 0.05% of that amount would not be a constant number. Your daily_degradation is incorrect.

Taxes, of course. The crowd here contains quite a few libertarian techno-optimists.

Pretty sure Asimov didn’t consider that when he wrote his three laws of robotics.

It is not censorship to point out and correct falsehoods. Without a common understanding of the world around us, at least in terms of what is true or not, what hope can we have to come to a political consensus?

Many of these remote areas are barely being served by companies at the moment because they’re not profitable (enough). Why would anyone object to the people just doing it themselves instead? That way at least they’re not at the mercy of som

Whenever the EU forces US companies to do something, we get collective outrage on here. So I was wondering: Can we get some collective outrage for this as well? Otherwise I can just conclude that there's a double standard about this ki

The use case is caching 20 million API responses that almost never change, each about 20kb of JSON, for a high traffic site. Yes, I can pay for a 400Gb RAM instance of Redis, but it's expensive. I can also cache it on disk, but then I

I would love to have a Redis alternative where I don't have to think about whether or not the dataset fits into memory.
