Too bad I got tired of sharing and explaining mine in this forum. None of those countries you mention are actually prosperous to a larger degree. Is really shouldn't be that hard m…

The same narcissism that makes you believe that you are right? Not all people value the same things. That we can't give up freedom for security is still just an idea. How much of w…

"They just can't do much before they commit a crime" Of course you can, you just need a mindset where you are fighting extremism rather than extremists.

I think the idea that we can fight extremism with freedom of speech is wishful thinking. There's very clear indication that pictures as those published not only increase extremism …

People don't really care about fighting extremism, they just want to be right. The whole things is just a charade. Not because we suddenly want to stand up for free speech and civi…

I'll upvote something that actually discusses how this effects our freedom rather than just some "let's all be upset". As far as I know western politicians have been far more effec…

Do you see any trend where companies want their data more structured from the beginning?

I don't necessarily think it's a bad proposal. It's seems rather good actually. Google is still one of the most tracking entities on the Internet and they can't really argue with N…

You do need a good alternative systems of course. But once those old e-mails isn't around anymore you would have to use the other system to still have access to the data. I'm not e…

For a lot of internal data it's having and using the appropriate systems in the first place. It's like VCS. You don't e-mail someone code anymore. You make a branch or whatever and…

I'm not so sure. I think the biggest mistake programmers make is learning the same thing over and over again. It's much easier to find someone that can implement a basic server in …

I wouldn't be surprised if there's actually a fight inside Google over this.

Hm. I think the most important lesson here is that we need to treat "communication data"[0] more like we treat financial or medical data. If there isn't already there should be a r…

That's exactly what I'm saying, you can't expect one entity to solve this. There's clearly some good people working at worthwhile things at Google. My concern is that a lot of thos…

That's not really my position to represent though. As an engineer you have to be firm if the issue is worthwhile. Just because the tech industry is a largely a vertical oligopoly d…

I don't think the laws are vague so much as how we use cookies today. With different mechanisms for different purposes it would (could) be much more transparent to the end users ho…

Not if you are using the session identifier for it's intended purpose, see the exceptions at: http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm#se...

Of course Google is only trying to improve the situation as long as it doesn't hurt their bottom line or government relations.

I don't see how this should stop us from fixing legitimate problems. As far as I know IPv6 adaptation is not a software problem at this point.

Not really. "Luxury" though.

We'll have stupid laws as long as people who doesn't understand technology continue with those stupid analogy. Guess what, maybe defacing a calendar in the digital world is quite s…
