> The worst cases I have seen is when executives take a problem and ask data scientists to "do some of that data science" on the problem, looking for trends, patterns, automating workflows, making recommendations, etc.

While I agree on the point, there's a case that's arguably worse: When those executives hire Data Scientists and then ask them: "So what can we do with Data Science?"

> Effectively I always asked them what they think the code "should" do and what the results should be.

Is it also data-collection free?

I believe Harvard Business School and its ilk deserve a lot of blame for the instilling of a profit-at-any-cost culture across the US.

This article reads like metric ton of BS but sadly I don't understand enough about the substance to be able to tell reliably.

1) I thought the reason cement production is bad for the environment because CO2 is released from the calcium during the process, not because fossil fuels are using for the heating of the oven.

2) So they're solving the problem by pointing the mirrors directly at the oven or how does that work? I don't really get why the temperature generated is important otherwise.

3) There's also storage of the energy batteries mentioned, how exactly does that work? Sounds like a contradiction to 2)

Examples that I've seen with GDPR requests are:

* Scan of ID

* WebID - video call where they take screenshots of ID and your face

* Cookie - kind of makes sense since 3rd party web trackers Quantcast rely on cookies to identify

Come on now, if you "remembered" anyway, surely you'd have nothing against the information being removed from an index?

This is more about the right not to have everything you ever did tattooed on your forehead.

Some years ago I read a book about a banker who took a summer off to work an Alpine pasture (ie. a summer farm) without electricity and company. Just him and 50 cows. I've been dreaming about that ever since.

Wouldn't you have to whitelist multiple domains (30+ for theguardian.co.uk) for a feature like "reload without blocking"?

Yeah I listen to a somewhat niche podcast from the UK, and recently I've been getting ads in my native German in it.

Probably to allow it to pick up some steam when sales slow down

> (Vienna, Austria) - a country that has long since decided to upgrade the standard of living of its people through smart economic policies designed to reduce dependence on petroleum.

As someone from a bordering country, that is a surprising statement. Could you expand on that point a bit?

In the wikipedia article it actually says that there is a theory that his body was placed on a nearby burial mound and moved by the ice to the location were he was found but:

> While archaeobotanist Klaus Oeggl of the University of Innsbruck agrees that the natural process described probably caused the body to move from the ridge that includes the stone formation, he pointed out that the paper provided no compelling evidence to demonstrate that the scattered stones constituted a burial platform

I can only speak of Salzburg but at least there the issue that the city faces is the opposite, namely that a huge % of visitors are just in town for a couple of hours congesting the city while not consuming anything.

> Taking a picture, of you, or just an `identical` is not why people travel.

As some who just had the dubious pleasure of sharing a vacation with his 19yo cousin, I can tell you that for her it was exactly like that.

> I predict that long, slow, possibly "eco" trips

Anecdata but I can see this already happening in my circle of Friends in a big German city. Friends telling of weekend trips by plane are increasingly met by snarkiness, and I personally dream of doing the Interrail trip I never did in my teens!

The countryside in Italy doesn't necessarily mean you're away from tourists, see the Dutch on Lago di Garda or the Germans in South Tyrol.

> But I can't see this changing in the medium term without some high-profile fines

I'm counting on the German cease-and-desist industry to kick-start that - now that I think about it, I'm actually surprised it has happened yet.

Upwork rules require you to have their desktop app installed and let yourself be filmed for the duration of the task? Holy s
