Not really. Spain's traditional format is dd/mm/yyyy with slashes. This applies for a good chunk of Europe. Germany/Austria uses dot, I think nordic countries embraced the dash. While you might see more adoption in offical/digital contexts, I just double checked a few popular spanish websites, all slashes.

I'd venture to say that the person meant that these kind of devices should be designed to work "locally first".

I think this comment is, while factual, slightly misleading. Only around 16% of people "living off the government" are public servants, from which over 50% are for essential services like education health or public safety.

Over 50% of those "living off the government" are pensioners, so mostly coming from a pool of people who already worked (and most of them in the private sector), and paid their share in taxes. In spain, the private sector makes 70% of the active workforce, while the public sector around 13%, self employed 13%, and unemployed 10%.

I know Spain (and Europe) have quite a lot of structural problems, but I fail to see how having so many pensioners has anything to do with AI regulations.

My take from the article isn’t that it’s really expected from Amazon. It’s calling out the hypocrisy of what Jeff has done at the Post.

I think you didn’t get the question. If we were to seek that evidence, who would turn to?

I don’t know, there seems to be more evidence in support of this fact than there seems to be of it being propaganda: https://www.twz.com/45098/ukraine-situation-report-evidence-...

I now prefer to use overlayfs with a tmpfs overlay. Much simpler to configure and update.

They might not explicitly, but you have the right to take any data you have or they might have on you of any service, no matter if you have an account or not: aka right of access. I don’t know if it has been used this way, but it might be a possibility.

Calling out anthropomorphization of corporations when related to morality or politics while attributing rationality or self-interest is a contradiction.

Corporations have no self-interest or do not think. Corporations are human artifacts composed of human beings that have specific rules applied to them in the great game in our societies, and tend to behave accordingly. This behavior have patterns that we as humans recognize unsurprisingly as human, because they are composed by humans. A corporation is a as rational as a group of humans can be.

Corporations do not always "act" in their self interest, and we can (and in my opinion should) expect moral obligations from them as we do with humans.

Wouldn’t this easily be circumvented by creating a website that shows you the source of any other website?

The parent mentioned not what alphabet does, but where it gets (most) of its revenue from. Google is making phones, but not really making a lot of money from them. So the question is, what is the future of alphabet?

I remember reading about the talc issue in Spain, and a quick search led me to congressional action on talc: https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/chairman-kri... I’m afraid the bias might be elsewhere.

For a few months my wife had a baking job that required her getting up at 4. I’d get up with her and start to work after breakfast. I’d have the days work before 9:00 standup. More time for sport and cooking. Think it was a healthier lifestyle in total. Social life was impossible though, we couldn’t manage to stay awake long enough to meet up with friends. And impossible to maintain once she switched to another shift.

I think this post is just ignoring some of the realities that a lot of people have gone through. In many places you weren't allowed to leave your home at all. In spain, only one adult member of your household was allowed to go outside for basic necessities, without leaving your neighborhood, for 3 months. For about another 3 months you were limited to certain times and areas, which made having social distancing for walking/running practically impossible. Couple that with the fact that in some cities people live crammed in small rooms in shared apartments, the access for healthy movement for a lot of people was greatly impacted.

What about older people who couldn't even have their daily walks for several months? Should they be squatting in their tiny apartments holding water bottles instead? I'm sure there are plenty of people who can work out at home, but I believe there are plenty of people who can't, or at least is a lot harder, for a variety of reasons.

We have been trying to reverse engineer Roman cement for quite some time. There are quite a few things that past civilizations did that are impressive by today’s standards and then lost to time.

I think the point is that even though it is called a phone, it is actually a portable super computer, and in many cases the only one people have. We can’t pretend it is only a device we use to call other people, it is the gateway to our digital lives. From banking, access to government services, to connecting to our loved ones and leisure.

Happy user of bunq.

Hmmm... I see a correlation between taste of bread and evilness here.

I agree generally with what you say but I’d substitute experts with humans.

And washing the dishes is also uncomfortable and always get wet unless you squat all the time. :)

I think it’s far too soon , and naive, to make such a statement. It’s easy to see some of the mistakes done by Spain and Italy in hindsight, but I don’t see central and Eastern Europe doing any better.

I think Climate change, population growth, travel, antimicrobial resistance are all good candidates in increasing the risk of this happening more often.

I'm just an application developer who just as played with blockchain and crypto every once and a while. Hoping to find smarter people than me who can pitch in.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. In every game you have winners and losers, but you can try to make the game fairer for most people.

There is a lot of overlap between logging, monitoring and crash/error reporting. In Sentry with some systems it does hook up to your logging framework to gather extra context through breadcrumbs or adds a hook to send logged error reports (in addition to the error reports from exceptions and crashes). They also follow logging good practices and integrate with them, but if you need logging, you can't use sentry for that. It only keeps the relevant information to a specific crash, and it aggregates data from crashes of a specific type so you won't even get historical data from crashes in some instances. Quoting from one of their blogs:

>>> Sentry is built on top of best practices like logging. However, this can cause confusion and signal-to-noise issues if you don’t understand the the difference between logging and error reporting.

Throughout your application you are likely logging many kinds of events. While these are commonly errors, you are probably logging a lot of debug information as well. This is the fundamental reason why logging has levels (e.g., debug, warning, error). When we abstract our crash reporting through logs, the challenge is to differentiate between actual errors and debug noise. >>> https://blog.sentry.io/2016/02/09/what-is-crash-reporting

Even sentry itself says sentry is NOT logging: https://sentry.io/vs/logging/

Torra has asked for it, but that doesn’t mean it has taken effect. With the mistrust between the Catalan and central government, let’s see what happens.

To begin with, it is probably released with a subset of the CI matrix, because I imagine that the full CI matrix takes more than a day. Second, it is nearly impossible* to cover all possible environments+addons+websites and test them correctly. This isn't a normal desktop app, nor a webapp that always is running relatively sandboxed in a more or less known environment. Browsers are platforms, as OS are. Lots of people doing wacky stuff on it. Very hard to realistically automate all that stuff.

*impossible with a limited constraint of time and/or money.

There is decent research on this. And a lot of it. Easy to Google but I can post some once I'm home again.
