How do you think this affect policy? Would we be likely to engage in more dangerous activities simply because we have a backup planet? E.g: 1. Maybe we would have carried on with more risky nuclear test in the past? 2. Maybe less people wou

Haha true. And the amount of money made per user with ads/adtech is unbounded, so why bound it to X per month. This greed? would probably lead them to ruins.

Why don't these companies just offer a paid version of their products? Giving people an opportunity to back out. E.g: Pay X per month to use Google and you get no ads or tracked. YouTube does something similar, but I guess they still t

Naive question: If you preclude a politician from owning stocks, can't they execute such trades via an off-the-radar friend? And receive profits via "gifts". I imagine this is already illegal? But isn't it harder to prov

Thanks! It's questionable, but I think the idea is that ad tech makes ads more valuable? Ie a user gets something relevant to them. Maybe the future will be this personalization happens offline on the user's device. Your example o

What alternatives to ads do you suggest? I don't see donations or paid services as a viable alternative (especially for people in emerging markets -- will companies still have any incentives to chase these markets?).

You are right that this is not a problem with design patterns themselve. It's how some people tend to use them when they are not necessary or a simpler solution would have sufficed. This I believe was OP's point.

I don't think other concerns are less important to "privacy" concerns. Each restriction just makes certain ideas/project impossible or less ideal [1]. Honestly as an Android dev, I will prefer devices come with these res

I mean, if you really want it today, there are places in the world you could go to that have little to no internet access. Where people still communicate mostly in-person. (I'm only half joking haha). > Does Facebook really make any

It could be OP is referring to multiple layers of (unnecessary) abstraction. In Android land for example, there is a popular "clean" 3 layer architecture, where model classes are blindly mapped multiple times (even in cases where

Not sure. I will just share my own personal experience. I live in Germany and I go to parks to freestyle with a soccer ball. My issue has always been dogs off lease interfering with my personal business. I have some balls with bite marks. I

How does one learn to appreciate such things? I think my problem is: 1. Fiction: I think it is pointless. I try to watch fictional movies. 2. Information I feel is irrelevant: Say I'm writing, I would prefer: "He proposed to her i
