I love talking with kids in that phase. The raw curiosity and interest in the mundane is so refreshing.
Sometimes I feel like many adults hate to learn new stuff and even get offended by the idea. It’s heartbreaking seeing those interact with inquisitive children, when they answer honest curiosity with indifference or worse anger.
The “this would never happen to me” mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.
I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.
Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.
“Of course it can’t be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them.”
The only AC I have access to is in the supermarket and my car.
Do you live in an area with a lot of ac?
I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It’s a huge deal.
The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it’s not only traditional advertising but viral and “astroturfed” advertising.
Don’t change that! I need that feature for my workflow
I once moved ~5TB of research data over the internet. It took days and unfortunately it also turned out that the data was junk :/
And with crowd strike we have seen how reliable Antivirus is.
Dog wants to go on a walk.
The US has pretty good tap water in most places. Of course there are outliers we are talking about a giant country.
While you are right to trust most tap water in Europe we also have a lot of outliers. Old plumbing being probably the biggest problem. But also the taste can be atrocious. The worst tasting tap water I ever needed to drink was in Barcelona.
Edit: and the worst looking tap water I ever saw was in Paris. (It was old pipes or something as it was brown, almost red)
Cheap actually. I wonder if this photo was taken years ago before the food price inflation spiked
Did I understand correctly are you saying prostitution should be illegal? If so what do you mean with regulation and workplace safety?
Well you do need to trust the checksum provided. That is the one you are checking against. Better would be a signature from a key you trust.
In the end a modern torrent is just a hash.
Google takeout is the best gdpr compliant platform of all the big tech giants. Amazon for example lets you wait until the very last day they legally can.
Also they do minimal processing like with the metadata (as others commented) as it is probably how they internally store it and that’s what they need to deliver. The simple fact that you can select what you want to request and not having to download everything about you makes it good in my eyes.
I actually see good faith compliance with the gdpr in the Plattform
People in Egypt, Turkey, India, Philippine, etc, etc, etc die in 29.5°C heat? That’s news to me.
