Is the problem really that Facebook et al are American, though, if the term even applies to multinationals? Say a company based in the UK had the exact same basic business plan of collecting your data and selling it to micro-targeting ad ag

I got a good chuckle out of you not even considering the manager's self awareness, empathy and competence as factors. Are we living a Dilbert cartoon?

I think the real reason goes farther back. The environmentalist movement grew out of the peace movement, which was anti-nuclear because all they saw were the military applications. A few decades down the line, they've forgotten why the

Prototyping fast does not guarantee shipping robust software fast, which is in part why the JS ecosystem has been having problems. To apply the common construction analogy to JavaScript: no one would call a quick sketch on a napkin a valid

While your second sentence is definitely true, there are some subtleties that also matter. Car specs are (certainly as opposed to software specs) very exact and constrained by dimensions, chemistry and physics. None of those have version nu

Well, if that SDK contains tracking stuff, the question then becomes whether the SDK has an opt-out option. If yes, it's on the consumer of the SDK. If not, then whether the TOS is enforceable in Europe.

I'm not the person you responded to, but "doing a bad job" as a consultant is relative. At a lot of gigs, they neither expect nor allow you to think. So even when you do have expert advice on why something is a bad idea, mana

I don't think there's much validity to this conservative persecution complex when you subject it to analysis. There's a difference between what feels to be the case and what is . Social media are about emotional impulses a

I couldn't disagree more about it being a negative result for rule of law. It's important to keep in mind that the law is in no way endemically just and merely represents the political caste's codified consensus. Part of the

I honestly don't know what you're on about. What is detailed about RDR2? I played it, and its world felt mostly empty and devoid of variation. Even in cities, it severely lacks details, partly owing to the "mundane" hist
