Probably 100 years old, I don't remember exactly, but it is not recent at all.

This is the new definition, in old dictionaries inflation was defined as increase in money supply. Using products to measure inflation, is a terrible mistake in my estimation, because cost has been falling, so stable prices don't mean

Isn't the FED at the very least creating money by buying treasuries above the market value? If the FED weren't buying, banks would have to bid the market to sell, lowering the price. Kinda makes the banks whole and also makes the

Sure, i wouldn’t disagree I do think that’s happening now. governments do that and much worse. Right now there are people in concentration camps. I get that corporations can be bad, but they don’t have the monopoly on violence. To conflate

I didn't say corporations are all good, but the fact that you had to go back to the 17th century to find an example tells a lot. Governments have been killing people since their beginning and probably as we speak.

Yes! If there are issues with Apple and Google they could create laws to fix it. If the idea was to help citizens, laws or regulations to stop said practices would be better, not that I agree with it. But thats not the idea, they see Google

I agree, I have an Apple dongle and it glitches too, albeit less often than the non Apple dongles. Sometimes even my Apple keyboard won't work connected to the dongle, I have to put in and out a few times for it to work. Things that ne

By bad for not being clear, but it is in fact how our society works. You may end up being shot while looting, it's a valid warning, and people did get shot. Looting it's a messy situation, may escalate to a fight with police or th

This argument is the best I found here, doesn't pander to emotions. But Trump even clarified he meant that this is what he thought it would happen, and it did happen. We could pointlessly argue if he did mean that or if he was trying t

I understand that, but it's not false that looting may end up in shooting. What he said it's still true, it doesn't need to be censored. People looting might escalate into a fight with police and shooting may happen. I don&#x

I don't think you understood my comment, I am not condoning death penalty, or the police using deadly force in situations where it is unnecessary. I am saying that Trump statements seem reasonable in what outcome we may have. Looting m

I don't see how protecting your property is fascist. I agree that a life is worth much more than any property, but stealing might lead to the death of the victim, so you are not just protecting property. They could use non lethal force

This is all nonsense to me. Trump said if you loot, you get shot. Isn't this how our society works? If you steal you may end up getting shot. People are trying to react as if he said "if you walk down the street you'll get sh

"If anyone seriously thinks this sounds like a good idea I’m truly curious to hear your reasoning." I don't know if it is a good idea, but I don not share the view that being a private entity makes it lesser than government e

Yeah, that could have been better. But the irony is what makes me angry, the government will create such nice laws to protect us from the tyranny of corporations, when governments are collecting all types of data, specially facial recogniti

I can see that but it sounds like a long shot, I do get a lot of spam and the "good ones" don't come from cookies, in my case none came from cookies. Most come from places where you give them your info, like phone number and

by pedro_hab 6y ago
yes, annoying as hell, I'd like to know stats on this, who cares about cookies? I sure as hell don't, my mom and aunts don't, they have a harder time using the web because of this. It makes everyone a privacy nut job, when mo

Yeah, I think you can't cache gmaps data, each user has to request at the time of use, "to ensure the freshness of the data". But I'm not sure if it applies to this use case.

I'm very curious on how 1st party cookies will be used for tracking. How can they connect one website's cookies to another's? All I can think of is fingerprinting, but afaik you can't really be sure "who's that

by pedro_hab 7y ago
Ok, so I did understand you correctly before. I don't think that has much value because the ad provider wouldn't know who you are to begin with. First time you open said website no cookies would exist for the domain. Then the ad p

by pedro_hab 7y ago
I don't think I understood you then, if they send 1st party cookies they won't be able to match you against a 3rd party profile, will they?

by pedro_hab 7y ago
You can't read 3rd party cookies, neither the browser sends it to the 1st party server. The max they can do is track you in their website, but that's terrible, they need to know more. edit: this means the 3rd party server can&#x27

by pedro_hab 7y ago
They also want your sweet 3rd party cookies, 1st party requests don't send those. Ads need to know what you googled, what you did in the competitors website, 1st party domains are a huge handicap for it. They either will need excellent

You are correct, I misread your comment, which I can agree with. But my point on science denial was that saying that it is all or mostly society based still stands.

Sure society affects gender expression of individuals to some extent. But the scientific evidence shows innate differences between genders. There are studies out there showing gender differences between human babies (boys and girls) and eve

I believe the peasant's king would be just as astonished. Do you think our world isn't incredible, and by far the best a human could ever hope for so far?

by pedro_hab 7y ago
Yeah, I like our world isn't wonderful as is. Imagine what a peasant from 300 years ago would think seeing what their work would be value at today. Its peanuts in our perspective, but not starving is a start, eating meat would be a lux

I find it very hard to decouple VC from innovation, if its the case that this 1% area has most the VC is true, isn't most of the world's innovation coming from it too? Europe hasn't been creating as much as the US before GDPR

by pedro_hab 7y ago
AFAIK GDPR makes a slight difference because it requires opt in for data sharing. But I'd argue it is very hard, if not possible, to know if a company has shared your data. The damage of regulations like this may be greater than the be

by pedro_hab 7y ago
Yes, AFAIK GDPR makes it that you have to also opt into your data being shared/sold besides the ToS.
