All service providers above some scale should be obliged to create a transparent processes or be taken for external jusges.

Even better: all providers of services with more than 100K users or 10% of country internet users should be forced to provide API to export / import data in open format.

It literally takes 1day in Poland.

This is the main driver for their cloud ;-)

This is not true. Over 5% of population is foreign and it’s growing every year.

Drinking late at office also sounds awesome, but somewhat many people don’t like it.

Maybe it was just an old stupid treason? Someone against the war and… hard to believe there are no rules about location.

Is stealing from a thief a theft?

Maybe because it’s literally a spam what you’re doing?

My email is on many such lists, I never ever would contact someone who spams. Just no.

I also have all tracking pixels blocked, so you would not know I’ve opened.

I’ve once got a contract to write tiny system that had to integrate with 20-30y old system, then written in some version of c# / Microsoft framework, it was only speaking xml. I had problem with timestamp, cause depending on some internal state, it was returned different way. I had to go and read over 100pages of date+time in xml spec and implement it. Also, found that a lib they were using had bugs, so my lib had to deal with it.

I hate xml.

1. They can squeeze a lot from current models.

2. Google can afford to push the frontier as long as it brings more money. They’ve been investing in AI way before others.

I use it when I know what and where need to be done, because the complexity of the system and that making mistakes can fail the whole app. I do research in codebase using Claude ultrathink.

Our system is pretty well tested, so this helps a lot.

I know most people at my company use it, and with pretty good results(?)

Personally, I stoped voluntarily reviewing code and caring about quality of code that I’m not responsible for. The AI slop is real and reviewing it is counter-career, instead of pushing product forward and getting praised you spend it fighting with AI. I just accepted that this is how the products looks these days.

It is not, because SV people use shallow metaphors from areas they don’t understand, to gain publicity.

But that was the same thought for me. The other totally missed aspect: a fire kills all life in area.

But why? If one may resell apartment for profit, why do we regulate tickets?

To not repeat other's (Python) mistakes ;-)

It's not that simple. If the country introduces a legislation, every company operating in it's border must comply.

If EU would introduce such legislation, it could potentially make software doing end2end encryption illegal. In such case, google would be removing it from EU Play Stores, and this would be more/less end of such messaging apps unless they comply. :-)

This is why it's important to have a reasonable legislature and laws.

From the source:

Chat control - one of the worst EU plans that is also being described as a surveillance monster - must be stopped. And the EU Parliament has just decided to do so! In a historic agreement on the EU Commission's Child Sexual Abuse Regulation (CSAR) the European Parliament wants to remove chat control requirements and safeguard secure encryption. The decision came after extensive backlash against the original proposal from technology and security experts, to international scientists and to citizens across Europe. This is a great win for our right to privacy and for upholding our democratic values in Europe, but the fight continues!

What did the EU Parliament decide?

Breyer writes on his website that internet services and apps must be "secure by design and default". The EU Parliament has agreed to:

    "safeguard the digital secrecy of correspondence and remove the plans for blanket chat control, which violate fundamental rights and stand no chance in court. The current voluntary chat control of private messages (not social networks) by US internet companies is being phased out. Targeted telecommunication surveillance and searches will only be permitted with a judicial warrant and only limited to persons or groups of persons suspected of being linked to child sexual abuse material."

In contrast to the original chat control proposal, the version of the EU Parliament wants that a new EU Child Protection Centre proactively searches publicly accessible parts of the internet for child sexual abuse material with automatic crawling, which can also take place in darknet and would be much more efficient than private surveillance measures by providers. Found abuse material must be reported and taken down by the provider. Fight is not over

While the EU Parliament's decision is a huge win, the fight is not over. It is expected that the EU Commission will continue to push for general surveillance chat control measures. Now is the time for each and everyone of us to join this fight!

Eric was great CEO and TGIFs were the thing ;-)

too much work :P not enough time with family and friends

About 50% of Gen Z has below average IQ. No big deal.

minor/major makes sense for, when a company plans to support a major for longer period of time, if the development is continuous, the date sounds good

It happen to me few times. Apparently no one ever has the same problem as me before. This happen super rarely and I'm proud of it.

Did you receive your 'search not found' badge?

Can it also be that the time of Europe exploiting the rest of the world is over, the last 50 years is US exploiting the world (like forcing it to obey they rules, FAANG de facto monopolies), and the next 50 years will be the china doing exactly the same as old powers but in a Chinese way? :)

Historically, the empires exploited other countries, it used to be very brutal, now it's just who works for whom, who is the product, who control the money and information flow.

Statistically, people with master earn more and it's easier to get a job (other options are: you get aquihired, have a shit of money; your parents have lot of great connections etc.)

Funny you say, but on social platforms we know you are kind of forced, through suggestions and ads.

Nope, they only provide a peaceful way to replace the man in charge instead bloodbath.

Not sure, but i refuse to talk if salesman don't want to send me email before the sign up.

You mean like in good, old Europe? No way!

Yeah, but to be transparent, they should post a list of apps and the data they were collecting.

Only Esperanto ;-)

It depends what sense of universality we're thinking about. It is and will always be a part of Anglo-Saxons domination story, therefore pretty hard to accept by many. It's same with Russian or Chinese.

Therefore to be universal but not predatory, the language should be more neutral? Maybe without the army or corporations who inflict it?
