madshiva··on Twitter Is Expected to Field Bids This Week
Internet was a way to share information, things, it was never for money. Money destroy everything. Human Rights Council have stated "to condemn the restrictions on access to information on the Internet" (A/HRC/32/L.20)

http://thehill.com/sites/default/files/a_hrc_32_l.20_english...

It's all about ethic and control of the source. If you can check the source, you can't tell if it's true or not and also access to information should not be limited by your money.

This make me sad the way Internet is turning to.

madshiva··on Facebook Overestimated Key Video Metric for Two Years
You can do the analysis that you want, there's no proof that advertising increase something. They are bad and should be banned from our live.
madshiva··on Facebook Overestimated Key Video Metric for Two Years
"I currently spend $X,000 per day in advertising on Facebook" you are wasting $X,000 per day period.
madshiva··on Why there is no Facebook killer: the death of the P2P dream (2014)
Hum, For my point of view Facebook didn't killed blog. Blog is used not only to show pictures of yourself, but writing. Nobody write on Facebook, they only share things. It's totally different, but hey anyway you can make your blog what you when that they are. Multiple account kill the service. You have at less 5 social media on every newspaper website. I don't use anymore twitter and I hope people will do it too. It's really a waste of time using 10 social media. I even don't use Facebook too.
madshiva··on Web Scraping in 2016
So you think that people should waste their time solving captcha are the solution? people are paid to solve captcha, there's always something like that and then the users suffer more. It's not a solution at all.
madshiva··on How hard is it to find a job in your city?
HR is killing us all with question that don't make sense. I'm good for what I do, not for selling me. You do a big test are with 3 finalists but then you don't get the job. The job that you dream since 15 years ago, because there's always someone better. This kind of opportunity happen every 5 years in a small country where I live. I stuck doing 2nd support with higher diploma and if I apply to a better position they tell me that they don't wont someone that do 2nd support...
madshiva··on Gimp 2.9.4 Released
Real photographer, old shool photographer, don't edit the picture after, if you need to edit it it's was not a good picture :-)
madshiva··on Tesla confirms “Autopilot” crash in Montana
Because there's driving and driving. I like driving too but when you are on the highway there's nothing rewarding, it's not driving if you only drive straight. The future is to lean back and do nothing like the google car. Or Little train in road.
madshiva··on Tesla confirms “Autopilot” crash in Montana
In real life, with real driver nobody taking care of what's behind. Automatic action or not. The distance should be safe.

People doesn't drive correctly and this is all the fault of automatic vehicle, that make me sad.

madshiva··on Italy’s teetering banks will be Europe’s next crisis
I said that the figures were wrong, the cause of the Recession is not only the fault of Europe since it was already the case before.

I life and work in the recession since the beginning. I can't handle anymore. Old people need to pay for the all the shit they have done.

The Europe need to collapse, I mean the EU economy but not in the mentality. I'm Swiss, I'm EU but only for the map, not for the economy. We are not together and like you say we will always see was it benefit for us, not for other. It's an human behavior. If they really want a global united EU, they need to make a big unique country but this will never happen.

madshiva··on Italy’s teetering banks will be Europe’s next crisis
This is because it's only an average not a real fact. Some people pay more, some people pay less. When you can't have more than 25K in a year, you don't pay income. If you have million you don't pay because you are smarter and can escape the tax... or at least fix it with a flat tax of 15%. Medium class pay the most but this is hidden, hidden in all the small tax.
madshiva··on Italy’s teetering banks will be Europe’s next crisis
This is totally wrong. The current unemployment of EU is at 9%. That's the same unemployment rate of 2002-2004 before the "Great Recession" of 2007-2008. Then YES, the EU is recovering, but slowly and not all the country recover well.

We all suffered from the recession, even in Switzerland where we have the less unemployment rate. This was not because of the EU, but because all bank was infected with subprime then this had slow done all the economies, US and EU.

madshiva··on Amazon Is Quietly Eliminating List Prices
Totally agree. I would also add that I can't buy anything from Amazon. Why? because they don't care about Switzerland. We have 3 language and should be able to switch from DE/FR/IT, but no, if we want in FR we need to go the amazon.fr because amazon.ch redirect to amazon.de why? I don't talk German and then we can't buy anything.

This is a mess because you see the product, seem everything fine until you want click the buy button and see after that you can't buy this items. Thanks Amazon, I'm using now only Ebay & AliExpress for crap Chinese things.

madshiva··on What media companies don’t want you to know about ad blockers
I agree it's a very good idea. This would also promote more local ads than big commercial ads.

At the end, I know they need to get money but ads don't serve any purpose. I mean I never buy product from ad, I have only things that suite what I have search 10 minute ago. Why putting ads for that? I already know the product and this will never push me to buy something.

madshiva··on UK votes to leave EU
You can go to a country and still don't understand how he works. You can also live in a country and still don't understand how he is working it's not a proof of something. There's a lot of debate between local power and government power but hey I don't know how it work. Thanks for the nice exchange and the arguing.
madshiva··on UK votes to leave EU
I can visit, I will probably do it but this will not teach me everything's in two weeks or more. What you didn’t understand (my bad explanation) with my statement is that people can live in a big country, have almost the same rules, votes globally etc. there still will be a huge difference between culture of people (rich, poor, etc.) It’s why the EU is falling down, everybody does not pull at the same rope. People still use history to say that they are a country when we are just the same, human mixed by a million of years of sex. It’s just a loop, “country” like cells get bigger, fall and split. Let’s do it again and hope that we can do things globally.
madshiva··on UK votes to leave EU
This was your best argument? I don't have been there then I can't have a judgment? Do you really thinks that people from Las Vegas take care of other states when they get all the water from other state? are you telling my that this is a global country where problem are solved in a global manner? No. This is true everywhere, even in UK you have not the same culture in the nord than the south.. check the result of the votes... even in my small country you can see the difference of culture between big town and small town.
madshiva··on UK votes to leave EU
it's not sad, it's a good news. The EU was only about trade regulations, nobody is thinking that we are EU but only think I'm French, I'm German, etc. How do you want that this is working? US have done nothing special, they only use the same money, and it's still splitted in "nation" then it's the same, different rules, different culture (rage against Spanish in some state, rage against black in other). We are not united, we are all alone in this war. When people will start to say "I'm a citizen of the world" and stop thinking that they are "French, US, etc." maybe the world will go better.
