Comment GDPR does not work (Score 0) 37

The big ones just ignore it hoping that the abused user has the burden of proof. And if they once in a blue moon get a fine, that fine is nothing, like 0.000000001% of their monthly income. If I got so low fines for speeding, I would just include that in my monthly expenses and pay the half cent and drive by speeding cameras with a big smile.

Maybe it's time to start thinking of size of the downloadable items? Like we did in 1998, Maybe it is more efficient to do good old package management and have dependencies sorted out instead of brushing under the carpet and packaging all in one huge image just because a hundred kilobytes were changed. Just because we have huge pipes and engines, does not mean we have to run them at full load, something's gonna give.

Comment failed to develop competitive software internally (Score 1) 98

How is this the fault of law? You made a company on the idea that required more than you could pull off. And now everyone else has to pay - workers, country? There is no economic value in just spinning wheels. No result, you out with a nonworking idea. Think before you do.

Nuclear is one of if not the most regulated industry. Alone on that fact it is practically impossible. And the small reactor technology is immature, sh will happen. It would take tens of years to get to something good enough. Those people know these facts. So why are they in on it? My guess is - they know the AI bubble will flop, need to shuffle the money out somewhere else. There is just one problem. Nuclear is way more known industry and we have specialists to ask, not just the preachers alone. And specialists won't just agree with their sales pitch.

Comment Re:Does Trump hallucinate? (Score 0, Flamebait) 63

Haha, what a trumpeteer... Look up a definition of lie. And not in the Ministry of Truth compendium. And then look at your best president ever with largest hands ever. Who is the world champion of lies per hour? And then evaluate his wannabe dictator first layer of supporters. Climate change is a hoax, vaccines cause [insert your scariest medical term here]. Is it really "all democrats always lie"? Just sad, that such stealeverything supporters are not capable of any mental activity above "say after me". Barely capable to set label "true" based on who said the chant you regurgitate. No idea how to make such people learn the basics of world, we are doomed to Brawndo and civilizations end way closer to 1984 than 2505.

Comment Re:Australians copying the dumbest of all US habit (Score 1) 111

So you are saying it does not work like that in his country? Is there only one country in the world? Last time I checked, not yet. So he is not necessarily wrong. Empirical evidence suggests he might even be right, it works like that in many countries. Tips culture is a disease, that makes wages and thus social security unnecessarily low and unpredictable.

That has nothing to do with price. Quaity and responsibility was correlated to price, but that time has gone. I can buy shoes in local shop that won't last a season and perfectly well chinesecopied electronics, that are working over 6 years without issues. Yes, some products are more a lottery buying from China, some are even fraud (batteries, electricity saving devices, health products) , but same is now true locally. There is though a big difference in quality of consumer goods in W and E Europe. East Europe countries get a lot of Turkey or E Europe produced low quality similar or even "same" products.
