If the data collected on TikTok is a national security issue, that would be a good admission since it would mean we'd have to pass some actual privacy laws in this country. Facebook/Google/Microsoft/etc collect the same

The difference is that Python is a programming language, whereas YAML isn't (allegedly).

Anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to YAML that's easier to write by hand than JSON and also supports nested declarations? ("XML with a fancy text editor" doesn't count) I have a project where I'm using YAM

The FTC is bringing a lot of cases, not just the few big ones like this that make headlines. The DOJ also brings antitrust cases. See: * FTC: https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings * DOJ: http

> Anecdotaly, I find Google Ads hard to use despite their market dominance. They don't have any incentive to improve the product, only to increase revenues (e.g. by raising prices).

by bogwog 3y ago
