Why not? Ad company wasting energy to run ad business. Nothing "clean" about it.

Nah. Because Skynet, I believe time travel is impossible, time is now or never.

I wonder what has bigger impact on climate, driving a car daily or feeding Google and Adtech industry with all your data, that has to be stored and constantly processed.

A generic engineering rule: fight complexity, a.k.a KISS principle. It takes additional effort and courage. You'd need to fight for that project time too. You'll live longer (and your systems too), but probably on your next job :)

> I did surprise someone from Eastern Europe when I was in Indonesia that I had never touched USD Thanks, as I thought, most international money transfers involve USD and, because of USD, have to use US based intermediaries.

No takers? lol It speaks loud about integrity of a site that forces Google code on its users. Also. Why this post is missing from ask link on the home page? https://news.ycombinator.com/ask

I believe HN using Google script / service is very wrong. Google is an Ad company.

Agree. My mistake, I asked wrong question. I'm much more interested in whether Google Captcha's script can access on-same-page form with already filled credentials, so they can link login with IP address. Password is another quest

Yes, It was noted in this thread few times. I'm talking about all other transfers, not EU-EU. Even then, the wikipedia link shows that one EU-EU transaction which involved USD, was affected.

"U.S. control over transactions within the EU. ..The transaction was automatically routed through the US, possibly because of the USD currency used in the transaction, which is how the United States was able to seize the funds.."

Dollar or not is not that important. Forcing US intermediary is.

> Tax declarations are public information What was historical reason for this? I see it as a privacy invasion. Is it a case for GDPR?

This. It takes years to learn good architecture, and Cloudformation nudges you to make it right. Thats why you need senior infrastructure engineers.

EU internal ones are likely an exception. Not an expert myself, it just consolidated in my mind as a fact from all the books and articles over the years.

> you can't risk to have anything even remotely approaching a monopoly in any part of the systems involved in making transactions. AFAIK US is a monopoly for international money transfer. You just cannot bypass a US intermediary ban
