I know the article spends its time describing how anti hate speech laws in Western Europe are not working. But frankly they’re not enforced. I think this is why they don’t work. I see censorship has putting dirt under the carpet. People wil

The problem with Facebook tracking is that even if (like me) you don’t use Facebook / don’t have it installed random apps on the App Store will push your data to King Zuck. This is what the data sharing is about. If you’re a regular us

The law makes it mandatory to give a 28 days notice for every tweak of the search algorithm. I’m pretty sure that Google tweaks their algorithm more than 13 times a year. This is what makes the deal inacceptable to Google. On the money fron

I’m sure these business owners would have like to know about these changes with more than two weeks notice during the Christmas holidays. It’s not easy to move staff. UK citizens need to secure a Visa to work in the EU. This is the kind of

But does China have an alternative to ARM CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs? They tried blocking Github in the past and it did not actually work well. I imagine something like blocking the production lines of multiple factories would just ensure that th

Management won’t let you. They probably won’t even hire you in the first place. Some great companies cough airbus cough won’t pay you or consider hiring you unless you have a degree from a prestigious place. And if you tell HR you are n

My recollection is that 10-15yrs ago (in FR/DE/UK) it was cheaper to get a phone on a contract than buying it outright and finding a cheaper plan. That has not been the case for a long time. The last phone I had on contract was an

Since it’s P2P, I don’t think there’s anything stopping actual Nazis from using the service in practice. The stuff about values is wishful thinking. Truly illegal/unsavory content is unlikely to use the service since IP addresses are p

To what extent could the UK regulate a US company? Especially if they don’t have a UK subsidiary. Last I checked I publish a blog site and I did not get the necessary permission from Chinese authorities to do so... and I don’t care, I have
