Otoh, if people don't trust the government, why would they trust any evidence they can present? Chances are it would be the sort of evidence that's very hard to fact-check unless you happen to be running an intelligence service o

Privacy regulations no doubt play a role but I would imagine there are other reasons too. For example, while services in the US can reach the entire country using one language, EU is far more splintered (and not just with respect to languag

I doesn't seem likely that they would leave such a large market, but shrug, who knows. I sure hope they will.

Huh so they were fined 5M eur and pulled this trick. I think they deserve a follow-up fine that's at least two orders of magnitude greater.

The Raspberry Pi Pico is pretty easy to work with and has you covered if you need USB.

I've left a few accounts behind over the years due to frustration with the community. So I'd say it's always had its problems. It's very hard to quantify whether there's been an overall change in any direction. F

I've tried it a few times. I wanted to use it a couple days ago to help me understand how a bad state could be reached in a program I was debugging, but found out the tla toolbox no longer starts because it depends on something that&#x

Quite likely, if you twist the implied meaning of "an ad" enough. I'd take it for granted that zwkrt is not talking about reviews and glowing endorsements and sponsored videos or placement on store shelves or .. you get the i

I've seen a comment like this quite a few times now and I am curious: what exactly is the goal of pointing out that advertisement affects your life somehow, to someone who said they can't think of a relevant ad? It's not lik

If you believe there is no volatile read in this code, I'd like to understand why. void func(volatile unsigned *a) { *a; }

Yes, there are ways. Human curators, network effects, transparency. Anything that is at the mercy of an algorithm will be gamed once they figure the algorithm out.

I recently read that the big suppliers of farming equipment have divided the land so to speak and aren't operating on each other's turf. You buy from whoever has a functional supply chain in your part of the farmland; if your tra

If legal offering for a market with half a billion people is not worth it for them, then by all means they can and probably should pull their criminal enterprise out of Europe. That just creates an opportunity for Europeans to say good rid

They cannot coerce you to sign away your fundamental rights in exchange for service. If they cannot offer service without violating your rights, then the service is illegal in Europe.

I gave them two decades and they never figured out how to show ads that are relevant. They never figured it out and I don't believe they ever will, I'm done sharing data with them and I'm done watching ads.

In general, I agree that it would be nice. Not sure what the right way to legislate that would be, but I'm sure there are ways. However, if DNT/GPC (which can signal opt out but not much else) becomes legally binding (as they ver

Finally! Some people keep arguing that GDPR is toothless and unenforced, but I think it's just that it takes time to tame the wild west. It's work in progress, and that progress is looking ok. I really hope also pass at least th

No-one said it's all roses and bliss. My argument is that mainstream software was, on average, more performant and more polished (and not considerably more buggy or unstable; possibly less buggy due to being less complex) than it is t

Right, I don't really know anyone who seriously used ME. I guess some people who bought prebuilt computers at an unfortunate time might have been stuck with it for some time. The people I know held on to 98 (or 98SE) for as long as i
