> The only other use case is lots of truly concurrent io within one request/response cycle. But again that is unusual, most apis have low single digit db queries that are usually dependent on one another removing any advantage of async.

Why just "within one cycle"? What about situation where you spend 1s in single db query and are 100ms cpu bound during request handling?

Just imagine a domain from such file being recycled in 10-20 years from now and you building a webpage for the new owner - everything works as expected on dev, stage, test etc - but not on prod when deployed...

GDPR 49/1a explicitly states possible workarounds (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-49-gdpr/):

"In the absence of an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45(3), or of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46, including binding corporate rules, a transfer or a set of transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation shall take place only on one of the following conditions:

    a. the data subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer, after having been informed of the possible risks of such transfers for the data subject due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards;"

Does someone here know why does this apparently seem not to apply? Couldn't FB just ask for a consent?

Good point.

Would you say that all your "interruption slots" are taken by a need to look at a phone or particular app? Aren't there still situations where you break your current focus (be it something important or just waiting in the elevator) with an actual thought not related to the phone?

I agree that position I've presented probably stands to some degree on the assumption that there still is a noticeable amount of non phone related interruptions of one's thought patterns. Otherwise my claim of equivalence would be stronger and require more arguments that I have at the moment.

From my personal experience (n=1) it's exactly the case - sometimes it's a phone, sometimes not, so that clearly directs my judgement. OTOH I find it unlikely that this is particularly atypical.

It's not really about the smartphones, I think. They are just a symptom of much more fundamental behavior (which may or may not be problematic - depending on how you look at it).

All those 5-10 second breaks -- waiting for a light, waiting for an elevator... If it were not for the phone, what would you typically do? Focus on some random thought or two. Then snap out of it and carry on. The fact that now this is often not a random thought but random input from random app doesn't seem to change that much - pattern stayed the same, just now you can see it in other people from the outside, so it seems more profound.

Confusing behavior after clicking on a company name in search results - would expect to go to some place related to the company (details? yc directory page? product page?), but what happens is some kind of search term change.

I've searched for "read" and clicked on "readme" in search results.

EDIT: Now I see what happens - clicking the first search result is behaving in such weird way - clicking results below the first one works as expected.

Yes, some way of remembrance somewhere came to my mind. But ultimately it felt somewhat intrusive to me and not particularly fitting the new character of the site.

> If Mexico has a treaty with China and begins stationing Chinese troops, USA certainly would have a big problem with that.

Sorry, but this is nonsense analogy. The correct one would be: China attacks Mexico against its will.

If Ukraine wanted to be part of Russia, they would do so via a referendum, just like UK left EU. The referendum would have high turnout and at least 50%+ of population would vote YES, we want to integrate with Russia. That's how things are done when there is a legitimate reason to believe that some country and its residents want such geopolitical change.

"I fail to see why it's a bigger deal than lives lost in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Myanmar, Tigray, Palestine, or any of the other places in recent history where there have been scores of human rights violations"

In terms of tragedy of individuals, it's not "a bigger deal". It's a bigger deal in terms of global security of the western nations and their values. And spare me condescending tone about those values not being ideal or ideally followed - if you have doubts about them then try to change them or relocate to better places - I don't know, maybe to Moscow?

" But if we're really concerned about war with a nuclear power above all else, we shouldn't be poking the bear in its backyard at all "

The bear has entered your backyard.

> I use a crazy long passphrase to encrypt my backups, but should I forget - it is also printed on archival paper inside a sealed envelope in a friends safe deposit box (I also have a copy of his backup passphrase for mutually assured destruction :)).

Why not just remember the password and perform a regular fire drill decryption to ensure you won't ever forget it?
