Baldurs Gate was really good, but I think people give it too much credit. Fallout 1$2 and Planescape Torment showed what really is a narrative-driven RPG game, they deserve more attention.
I've been going through Google Analytica courses a bit recently, just because I'm interested. It is frightening how many techniques Google uses to gather meta-data and how much you can make out of it all. Thanks for sharing this, I use ProtonMail myself but avoid google all the time, one more reason to do it.
It's nice how data analysis can lead to new conclusions, maybe baby-naming put through hard critical analysis, can reveal more, than just an actress starting her career that year. Now I just need to acquire myself a baby... :)
A great read, thanks for sharing. I've been a junior front-ender for two and a half months now, it's not much but I've been working extra hours daily and on weekends and already had to taste some stressful situations. A lot of us juniors are writing bad code and it helps a lot not to put the blame on one person but look for ways how to help each other and fix the problems. I didn't think teamwork is so important in coding.
So it's even worse than I expected. First I thought that, obviously, GDPR can increase government censorship, but this example shows that it can be exploited by simple scammers. It's been since forever that new political regulations come out raw and need to be fixed many times before becoming something solid. Makes one wonder if politics can for once release a product of high quality.
Leave it to John Oliver to explain contemporary reality. More often than not I do agree with him, he's a classical liberal, but bothers to gather some facts about what he's talking about. This facebook-Myanmar scandal really didn't get enough media attention, at least I didn't see a lot of it. But it's a good example to see how "neutral" technology can be used for wrong purposes. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg remained calm throughout all the hearing, Cambridge Analytica or not, looks like he's doing whatever he wants. Thanks for sharing this.
