> how do we know the Spanish was translated perfectly, without a massive detail review

You can't. I think that's a large part of why LLMs have caught on much better with programmers: they have ways of making the computer check its own work.

Checking a document is still a laborious manual task. And completely unfulfilling.

> the pretense posed by the article that the club has no blame.

Remember that these clubs are mostly small, local businesses. Their owners just don't have the technical sophistication to evaluate software security. Or the clout to demand an audit.

Not really, no. The current kerfuffle is primarily over illegal streaming of live sports. The blocks need to be in place very rapidly to have any effect.

Some governments have given rightsholders the ability to order IPs blocked at short notice, and they've caused a lot of collateral damage, making thousands of unrelated sites unreachable.

Are you kidding? There was a large swing to Trump amongst Latinos in your last election.

I have no idea why people assume immigrants are pro-immigration. They're pro-themselves.

> GP ties negative properties to entire groups without differenciation, this is by definition racist.

Only if they're racial groups, and you're literally the only one trying to box people up by their skin colour.

> largely been workers for jobs the Dutch won't do.

The Dutch were happy to do those jobs 50 years ago.

After every single "jobs the natives won't do", there's an unspoken "for the dogshit pay we offer."

This sort of casual dismissal is precisely why the relationship won't be repaired.

We deployed troops to Greenland after his comments. Does that sound unserious to you?

> not contributing to musk's empire

You are if you've got a 401(k), just not voluntarily.

The SpaceX IPO is basically a scam designed to force pension funds to buy in before the stock price falls to where it should be.

Islamists fight to be the oppressors, not to help the oppressed.

What allies?

You threatened to invade Canada and Greenland.

You surely don't think you're coming back from that?

> all this in-app tracking must be a violation of the GDPR, no?

Probably, but we're gonna have to wait for the courts to weigh in for a definitive answer.

Same with the very popular pay-or-accept-tracking model. An Austrian court found it illegal, but we'll probably have to wait for a case to make it all the way to the ECJ.

I'm not an Android user. What's a profile? Is that a user thing or a developer thing?

Same. It doesn't sound at all familiar, but Germans are a relatively litigious bunch (so many have legal insurance). Suing your neighbour because their cigarette smoke wafts into your kitchen. That sort of thing.

But "unlimited liabilities" gives entirely the wrong impression. German courts do not award punitive damages, and fees are generally capped below that amount in dispute.

> I'm pretty sure Apple strategists knew the value of the gate-kept platform

Jobs didn't see a revenue stream, he cared about being in control of how well his own products worked.

He was never going to allow a third-party SDK to define the user experience, least of all one as bad as Flash.

Because then your UI will work the way users of the platform expect it to.

> Why can't it be both?

Is the government going to fund all further development? Hard to imagine investors continuing to throw billions at products they aren't allowed to sell.

Did you read the article?

The whole point is that these particular defamatory claims weren't made by some third-party, but hallucinated entirely by Google's own AI.

There is no "accurate summary". Just a pack of lies fabricated in-house at Google.

It probably will be once all the appeals have finished.

You can't just bypass national courts and go straight to the EU.

> I get the distrust of large corporations and other obvious bad actors […]

> the blanket cynicism for all telemetry here is kinda surprising

Who's providing the telemetry/analytics if not one of same large corporations?

Many devs say they care about user privacy, but very few seem to care enough not to farm surveillance out to a 3rd-party they have no control over.

On official occasions.

British aristos tend to be outdoor sorts. Range Rover and a Barbour jacket.

QEII was always in wellies whenever she was off the clock.
