That's a very optimistic view. They care about getting elected, and enough tech-savvy people in the country made a big enough stink about it a critical mass of "normal people" got pissed. If they cared about privacy this whole thing wouldn't have been possible in the first place.

The irony.

You're extrapolating one somewhat rude adiplomatic president to America going to war with Europe? That's enough internet for you, sir. Time to go for a walk.

And in this hypothetical world where having dangerous opinions has consequences even though sometimes we draw the line incorrectly, I'm assuming you think your personal views could never be marked as such? We still live in a free society where at least the aim is to not hurt people in any way for expressing their own views.

The problem here is that everyone thinks their ideas aren't radical and that sharing them isn't indoctrination. I once left a religion, peacefully, not loudly or trying to tell anyone else how to live their life. People still in the religion thought I was radical and dangerous to the fabric of society. Charlie invited people to have a debate. Whether he was right or wrong at least to me with my lived experiences feels irrelevant, if that's dangerous to society then society is wrong.

The idea that the world will ever have enough compute is ridiculous. I'm sure all of this sudden growth will need to be digested at some point, but that won't mean the industry will permanently lose a big chunk of its market cap.

I hope all this stays true without growth. I hope it wasn’t a temporary utopia built on the tail end of centuries of theft and violence all over the world, and a relative peace subsidized by the US Navy. American problems generally last 4 years, and even our bigger problems sit on top of relative self-reliance. As far as I can tell you can’t even heat your homes in winter without Russian or American gas.

The folks who allowed the continent to fall behind through over-regulation would like you to know they'll now do a good job at being the capital allocators.

I also use iCloud mail, mine looks slightly better (though not perfect): https://www.mail-tester.com/test-n5b4ip8ey

You'd probably have to go through a similar set of bureaucratic steps to get that done.

Pretty nominal for Europe to be honest. Most Americans don't realize a) how much money they make and b) how little taxes they pay. Apples and oranges with all the social safety nets and such of course, but still most (healthy) Americans get much more money in their bank accounts after all is said and done than they would in Europe.

If your business depends on it, not backing it up in some other place on a consistent basis is a bad idea. The cost of this should be factored into the price you charge people. 800GB would be less than 20 dollars on S3, all you have to figure out is the replication process, but that shouldn't be rocket science either.

Quality very much depends on the language I've noticed. I don't use ChatGPT but I do use Github's Copilot. The main way I've been using it lately is to make manually written algorithms more efficient. So I'll write an algorithm, select it and ask it to figure out a more time/space efficient way of doing it. Still makes a mistake every now and then, but at the very least it helps me quickly see things from a different perspective.

This is exactly how I feel about it. I'm sure there are some tasks it works really well for, but I have yet to encounter one.

That looks really cool! Let me know if you ever want help porting it to Firefox!

Dutchman living in NYC; this article is spot on. It gets slightly easier with time, but I've been here ~9 years and I still feel it.

Additionally, if you take a 4MB photo and add it to a shared album with 5 people, those 5 people all have to use up 4MB from their storage. Instead of reusing the same image and having pointers to it, it looks like it's "copied".
