Funny GDPR. I’ve been asked by Oath what ads I want to be shown. I’ve kept checked the IAB compliant suppliers and unchecked the others. I wonder whether this makes sense as in, is IAB content any better than the rest?

Ads are ads. They’re all trash. Install uBlock Origin. Or better yet, AdNauseam. It’s based on uBlock Origin, but with the added ability to automatically click on ads. I’ve set it up to randomly click on ~70% of tracking ads. It pollutes the data advertises supposedly have on me (I really go out of my way to block everything they could track me with) and also costs them hundreds of euros a month. The scum deserves no less.

And now, beddy time. I worte a lengthy useless tirade about what’s wong with PvE designs by CCP, just because… whatever. I would like so much to play EVE again, but I can’t brace myself to return to the same exact crap I left behind.
Fukk you CCP.
Nighties, lovelies. You’re the best and last of EVE for me.
Also: retro vector art is so much better than actual 1980’s vector art…
BTW, some engineers deserve to be fired, I tells you.

Its of course incorrect to put everyone in the same basket based on nationality or skin colour. I think a nation even if its not keeping very high standard in some statistics, can produce exceptional individuals that can lead others to better future. Sort of like a herd of sheeps where leader is a lion, theoretically.
In words of Kizuna AI.

Car AI was good, there was capacity in the system to change that situation, but humans failed, not enabling the technology that was there, that could save life. If brakes control by computer would be enabled, if the volvo systems would be enabled, it could be different, also there are slower reactions measured of the operator who didnt react in time. Ultimately its humans that failed. Nothing new under the sun. Its sort of like when human pushes the red button even when everyone around says not to push it.

Everywhere we turn, we can see geometry, functions, mathemathics.
But fractals are just simplified functions. I think that on a scale from 1 to awesome, fractals are 1, life is awesome.

That’s a little dark. Yes, life is awesome, and whenever people do math, geometry, functions or fractals, are they simply imitating life, because they think it’s awesome, too. Everybody wins

Of course you aren’t, otherwise the linked article wouldn’t have any merit. But degrading people just because they’re less intellectually able, while at the same time regularly scoring the worst across the board in international intelligence tests and having a through-and-through utterly broken education system, really fits the US-American culture of “we’re better than them” supremacy-thinking. Nobody would care if you’d just keep that ■■■■ in your own country, but no, you have to shove down your ridiculous lobbied laws on the rest of the planet and threaten with sanctions or invade other nations at a whim when they don’t play ball, or simply have economic resources that one of your corporations is interested in exploiting.
Don’t make the mistake of perceiving this as me judging you or your countrymen individually. I judge your nation and your culture as a whole.

Why that need of judging, why does it matter? Why judging whole? What can you make out of it when it comes to individual? Whole is just a creation coming from statistical data, unfit for evaluation of individual. You can seek underlying causes to change in statistical data, like systems used in society, educational, administrative, but its only a clue, and doesnt stop some exceptions from occuring.
Wholeism, statistics, its something very simplified, when reality is complex. That is why there is innate ambivalence to statistics when applied to individuals, and its individuals that create the statistics.
Ultimately, we are all just like potatoes, different

Google told the BBC: “We build privacy and security into our products from the very earliest stages and are committed to complying with the EU General Data Protection Regulation.”
Google, one of the biggest data harvesters and abusers of that data - if not the biggest - built privacy into their products from the very earliest stages?
