Thanks for the answer, but I'm wondering more about the mechanism of how the individuals in the EU Commission would benefit from any kind of misuse of this legislation. I get how surveillance can benefit people (edit: I mean benefit th

I never understand this apparent motive of "elected officials getting power hungry". How would this legislation make the people in the EU Commission more powerful? Am I just lacking imagination?

Can someone explain why scaling a 4K screen by 200% is better than a monitor with 1080p native resolution? Or in general why is it better to use a scaled-up high res screen instead of a natively lower res screen? Doesn't the scaling ge

Is the concept of a probation period not universal? I mean if a new hire is terrible, it will show in the first 2-3 months, and during this period they can be fired without any repercussion whatsoever.

I have recently had similar experience, but sending an email with my questions solved this problem. Of course if their HR or team is slow to answer it isn't worth that much, but still better than not writing that email (you can still p

People love to categorize/label themselves and others (belonging to a group, provides easy answers to complicated questions, etc.). So most will be glad to do so when given a chance.

I realize this comment is probably tongue-in-cheek, but if we take it at face value, I think it’s failing to consider that the logical conclusion of this argument is to write programs directly in binary.

Not a bad idea, in developed nations I could see this happening in large scale. How would it be possible to evade the tragedy of commons? With restricted rights of the owners, perhaps?

It isn't these companies' fault that couriers don't have better options. If anything, without this kind of service existing, a lot of them would be simply out of work completely.

I guess nowadays it is much easier to sow FUD thanks to modern technology if there is a will. No need for a main enemy, many smaller crises will do to supply a constant "state of alarm".

What do you mean by "nagivation issue"? I don't see the navigation system changing momentarily and then back (that would be analogous to your example). If in your phrasing the navigation system includes object recognition the

These rules are about selling brand new cars. Poor people only buy used cars anyway and AFAIK this ruling doesn't say anything about used cars.

I think this depends on what the algorithm uses. Or would "liked page related to the job description" be considered a protected characteristic? My non-lawyer instinct would say that as long as the algorithm doesnt't contain a

Thanks, I can see your point better. I guess my real concern is about Twitter being considered the default communication channel for many people. I mean it is perfect for getting updates from orgs/teams the quickest way possible, but t

But even then you know your tweets can be read by anybody. If a platform is fundamentally public, I don't understand how can anyone use it as a form of private communication.

Well, I don't think it is impossible: for example if N is usually 10+-2 cases each year, then N=30 is very unlikely to be just a statistical artifact. Usually N denotes the sample size, but in this case the sample size is <the numbe

I think the age distribution is important. The claim is that AZ vaccine causes this rare blood clotting in people below 55 years old. Unfortunately I don't see information about this in the article.

Is there a youtube client (or browser extension) that accepts a whitelist of channels and only shows videos from those? This got me thinking... A browser extension deleting everything from the front page except videos from the given channel
