It depends how much credence you put in the standard contractual clauses (SCC) added by these companies after the privacy shield was ruled invalid by the EU. The idea with the SCC is that instead of all data transfers being covered by a sin

Why do you think privacy is not involved? Currently if a US company stores data on EU citizens then the US government can compel them to produce that data in a way that's not compliant with GDPR. That seems to be a pretty unambiguous p

Uber is a big company. They can do good and bad things. I personally really like the service they offer, but that shouldn't mean we should let them get away with it if they do something shitty. For example, in Amsterdam they did the fo

While the DMCA might not oblige google to do any of that they could do it off their own back. Given that a few dodgy DMCA notices can effectively shut down a channel (which could be someone's livelihood) it doesn't seem that unrea

To my mind it's far more concerning that Google did so little to confirm the identity of the guy sending the fake notices, let alone establish whether he had any right to be sending the notices in the first place.

If each transaction has a fixed cost but as a payment processor you're charging a percentage fee that seems like a risky business. What happens if the mix of payments on your platform tends towards lots of small transactions?

I think it's a reasonable point. A more complex spec is going to be harder to implement correctly.

I think it's worth remembering that XML parsing is also a big historic source of bugs which suggests to me that while it may look simple and well formed on the surface it's probably a lot harder than it looks.

Just to clarify, Im saying labor is a large part of the cost, not necessarily the largest. I agree land is probably a bigger cost in a lot of areas.

I think the issue with this approach is that people may nod along and day they're happy with these compromises, but in reality they don't necessarily understand the trade offs and are then surprised when seemingly simple things do

Apparently labour is ~35% of the cost of a house [1] though I imagine this varies a lot depending on the house being built, type of construction, location etc. Still, seems safe to assume labour is a large part of the cost. [1] https:&#x2F
