A lot of companies don't "need" anyone because they are not subject to profit and loss anymore. This is the result of government policies of cheap money, government contracts and higher and higher barriers to enter the market

Reading about things like this I love the way we select people for university in Italy. There is a written test, multiple-choice questions. Those who score higher, pass. Yes, it sounds like a system that favors test takers, but there are so

"So it’s possible that big companies are increasing their market power by using lobbying to capture politicians and regulators. If this is true, it’s very bad news for free markets and capitalism." So, they managed to blame capita

the housing market, especially in the US, is far from being capitalistic. You have all kind of weird rules, zoning laws maybe are the first culprit, and guess what is the result? You don't have enough houses, people are homeless and pr

I wish I knew this 10 years ago, when I decided to study math and get a CS degree. Sadly, while I'm good at programming (at least to the extent that nobody ever complained and projects got shipped), I'm really uncapable at math. I

If facebook's actions are illegal now, they are illegal now, there is no ex post facto. Can't talk for the US, but for example the "friendly fraud" could be considered fraud in many European countries, since it brings pr

This is a classic tactics by politicians: instead of reprimanding the judicial system for refusing to do their job properly, they cry and whine publicly in order to get the consensus to create more laws, which often guarantee more power to

Did you ever noticed that when it comes to protect a public official, for example a cop killing someone, all the State pieces work in perfect synchrony? I mean, everyone, from lawmakers, judges and the lowest of clerks suddently learn how t

Targeted ads are great. Things cost less because there is more competitions between suppliers and they don't have to pay a lot per piece, since they can target only the specific people who needs the thing they sell. This is GREAT for p

I can totally see the sites that caused the GDPR to become a thing on the list. What an incredible job EU bureacrats, keep it up, it's not like the economy here doesn't need more rules.

If they just had to rely on the free market, colleges would have closed a long time ago. They can't improve anymore because they don't get any signal they're doing a good job. If I'm doing a good job, I know because peop

Would a person with a significant project hire through middleman websites? Maybe, but it wouldn't be a very smart move on his part, and would also denote some inexperience dealing with professionals and consultants. Finding good clien

design isn't something "objective", so it's where they usually put the worst candidates that they were forced to hire. This gets worse when companies grow bigger because the hiring is done by people quite far from the pr

Well, european countries usually didn't shy away from bureaucracy. Now that there is the EU, there is another big layer of bureaucracy, and it doesn't help at all. Even worse is the fact that these bureaucrats are really distant f

You need to reveal who is managing the data in any case, which is separate from the DPO.

if I have a forum I store the email of the users so they can recover the password. Same thing if I put up a simple newsletter to contact my users, I have their emails (newsletters may not be fashionable but they're much more effective

The law is for everyone, it doesn't matter if I profit from it or how big I am, I still have to reveal who I am if I take data that is often needed, like emails in a forum.

My judgement is that US is also in a bad spot, but at least the first amendment give them a little more protection, and there is a much stronger stance on freedom of speech, and even more variety in opinions compared to Europe.

If you put population control, you will have honest people not reproducing and dishonest people reproducing, therefore you'll end up with spreading the genes of dishonesty. Natural selection at work.

Most laws of this kind are made so that they can exclude small players from the market. If something goes wrong, Facebook can easily hire an army of lawyers and "prove" that they "processed [data] in a manner that ensures app

Looks like defamation to me. Just because a website doesn't have https doesn't mean it not secure. It's not secure for some activities, and if the browser marks the whole page as not secure, it's defamation. I don't

you are doing what libraries should be doing, especially for books they intend to throw out. I mean, the US government has warehouses of data with the most inane things about people and then they can't manage to store books before thro

As usual people ask for more regulations, but when you do regulations corporations always find a way around and become stronger. They become stronger because the small guy doesn't have the money, the energy and the lawyers to abide to
