Oh dear, yes we understand this is the world post 911, but many, many criminals will simply use entirelly fake identities.

And the data hygiene and itegrity are horrible,there are dead people on it.

This is very interesting, it appears to be catering to devs who love to work on own project and see help on SO. It also helps a competent manager to see the code structure and such.

Nothing wrong with that, but! ask yourself, if all the SO profile is all questions and no or no correct answers, what does this tell you?

How would you know if the repos are not forks or copy paste jobs?

And what kinda projects will be in the repos?

For sure nothing proprietary, hence private projects.

Have these projects been done during work time or during time off? Both are bad, if the dev worked on private projects during work or if they go and code 5 hrs a day after work, or any unhealthy amount.

I used to do many projects outside of work,things like sign up, log in features from scratch in node because I thought I need to learn the next new thing, but once I moved positions into a more product ownerish role, ie, much more work, I had literally no time any more to spin up a personal project.

But yes, all in all, this is much better than applying at the typical company where hr is writing nonsense job requirements like 15 years experience in golang and such.

I am firmly aware of that, however, keep in mind I did not see the movie yet.

So far, my opinion was based on reading about it, the blogs are often controversial, but I habe a tendency to conclude I will not trust Google on this matter for now.

Well, the chronology of events does not do Google or any of the film critics any favors.

The German group presented the app at Kyoto, before anyone else did.

It appears at least to zooming tech was borrowed by google.

Google won in court, based on hearsay and date of patents.

I have to add, I have not even watched the movie, so my view should not be distorted, but I will give myself the unfiltered "based on a true story" as soon as I can.

I would not say it was made up, though.

Google engaged im negotiations to buy the patents.

And the software was presented in kioto in 1994, way before anyone else.

I agree, it is something new and refreshing, I consult it frequently on random matters out of curiosity.

It appears it can pass faculty tests, but lets keep in mind you do not need a 100/100 accuracy for that, but in business apps like in fintech, you better deliver 100/100.

So far, it is concatenating google search results and displays that in readable manner.

Co-pilot comes up with better code so far.

I am curious to see where this is going, there must be a plan to monetize, this launch and media presence cannot be explained away differently.

I was neutral on google, they seem to be very low key, so they fly under the radar.

Then I started to see their little ads tricks and the story on how they "acquired" google maps aka terra vision and yes , wouldnt put it beyond them to use every trick in the book they can get away with.

And the thing does not learn, it does not save the good answers somewhere nor does it discard the bad ones.

I have asked it to generate some mac os compatible vba code, oh dear, that "macro" never worked so far.

Chatgpt certainly spits out answers and is often right or reasonably close to right. But it cant be trusted on complex tasks and I do not think it is a good AI, I have to repeat, this thing is supposed to be an AI,but it does the AI part very poorly.

We all know it will trip over questions like what is the record for crossing the atlantic by car/foot and such.

But I have realized there is no feedback loop, or a wrong one.

Having asked the same questions a few days apart, both literally and almost the same wording, they were on the topics probability and ev math, but no trick questions...I was shocked to see it spits out completely different results based on what day I had asked or based on the sentence structure provided.

These are the hard AI problems and this does not look good. No terminator any time soon , I guess.

Many reasons.

The event is too far back in the past to be proven and prosecuted.

And in the uk and europe, the governments will not go after such things,maybe europe is a bit more free than other countries in that regard.

And once the uk was past this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebeneezer_Goode , it became mainstream.

It did not.

Booking.com did that.

I do however always choose an apartment for corporate trips, but always via booking.com.

They, speaking of the hosts, do not make anythong from deposits, I am working in finance, rest assured the reason is a different, much more nefarious one.

They want to charge you for potential damages, done by you or not, as well as wear and tear.

Never, ever put a deposit for them, not even by credit card.

And if you pay for the stay, always , always use a credit card, not a debit card. That way, you can pull the chargeback trigger on them.

A chargeback is their worst nightmare, trust me, it can have so many implications and hurt airbnb so badly if they are subject to chargebacks.

After a few years of working on a mac, I started using a windows machine today and found out about this, I was very surprised, thought control panel is a relict from w7 times.

I actually liked w7.

Either way, all in all I am very happy to not having to deal with "numbers" , the crappy file system on a mac amongst many other things.

I think w11 is pretty solid apart from the old known issues.

I was inclined to say "speak for yourself", but then that would have been rude and your username indicates we are living half way across the planet.

Things are different on this side of earth, rest assured. I have paid extra every single time.

Further, there is always things like "parking available", but then either its not free of charge or always busy or its....public parkings.

Same with internet access. Available, if you pay and if its tourism months. And the internet you get comes from a router in the hallway and is shared and at times it seemed like it has the capacity for one concurrent user.

Airbnb enables hosts to publish such things in the name of revenue.

But if a host gets in trouble, they have a half arsed wannabe collection team which will drop them like a hot potato soon.

There are no reviews of truthfulness of the offers etc.

If you have had a good experience, then irs thanks to the host, not thanks to airbnb.

This is a no brainer.

Crying comes from emotional triggers like anger, fear,pain, hunger, loneliness etc.

When we cry as adults, it kinda helps to have a trusted person around to stand by us.

As a parent, it is obvious that you do not let your babies let it cry out.

Listen to yourself, not to youtube advice.No need to study evolution.

There are some moments where it appears they want to be left alone, but try your best to calm them down and cheer them up.

From baby to autarky, it takes 2 decades in the best case.

This is interesting, would ChatGPT know to wrap everything in am iferror and can it create new sheets and book and save them as csv on any os?

This took me a full week to make it work and got me a raise, but it is so hacky, I rather not want to maintain that.

Can it run cron jobs, handle api responses etc?

You have the 5 eyes and NSA instead, whatever they do not have, apple, ms, aws and google will have.

If we put all these things aside, AEoI exists and if a bank does due diligence on mortgages, loans and car leases, they collect plenty of stuff, if they have it, the government can have it.

The EU mindlessly signed up for that, now the US gets all that insight, meanwhile, its almost impossible for americans to open a bank account abroad. The europeans do not share fingerprint data, cept for criminal interpol investigations.

You are mistaken if ypu think your government is collecting less data than the euro governments.

There are more issues with governance there, but I will not go the esclation route, my message is simply to not trust governments with your data.

All on a need to know basis.

I understand before ww1 passports werent even a thing, it was a "temporary" measure.

However, freedom of movement within the EU works flawlessly, its just that once youre in a new place and want to settle down, the old habits prevail, opening a bank account and such should be easy, but good luck with that.

I wonder if this will be in the french, german, italian newspapers and where. And if it gets tv time.

In Bruxelles, this will be discussed and qhile they arent elected directly, they cannot pass any crap whatsoever there, there is always oposition on everything there.

I remember when I went to the UK for the first time, I knew the language, but was never confronted live with a London accent. I did not know the postal code system(every little borough out there belongs to London, but has zones and postal codes) , nor did I know the public transport options.

I simply went there to visit a friend which had moved there, that is all.

So just before the transit area after coming off the plane, a ginger and a brown haired fellow stopped me and started asking questions, without showing a badge or identifying themselves. They were plain clothed officers, guessing they are police was rather easy, they had very bad choice of çlothing style. So they ask where are you going and why. Purpose of stay and lenght, how will you get there and blabla, many follow up questions. Do you have a return ticket, whats her name.

I told them, thats your job to find out and I intend to travel by cab, am I good to go now.

They let me go on my way.

This is the kinda people who will be dealing with our data, hell no.

I will fill out whatever if I ever wanna go to the us, but I prefer to not hand over any data upfront.

That isbthe spirit, much love from across the pond.

Here, everyone left to right were saying, this will never happen.

The people who said that are all retired wealthy, their parties still exist, let us hold them accountable.

They always say they will get something in exchange, but it is all lies, the moment you are bargaining for something in exchange, youve already lost.

Keep in mind, never give anything to the EU either, they cannot be trusted blindly either, theyre just somewhat more accountable. If they would be the worlds superpower, I am not sure how benevolent they would be.

Everywhere on earth, the regular citizens have the same domestic nuissance, snoopi governments, all parties somehow collecting big data as if it were their business model.

Anyone who knows a lawyer, a govt tax agency worker and such will know, the data tue govt has will never be used for good, it will even be twisted in their favor.

Left or right does not matter, probably never did, if we had democracies, theycall such things bipartisan, the total left or right wing goverments had leaders like franco, pinochet, mao, stalin and such.

Anarchists keep saying the biggest atrocities were always from governments, not sure what to say about that, governmnents are always humans as well.

There is some issue at hand with power. Even in Switzerland, with its "direct democracy", the police state is quite invasive, discretly in the background.

Maybe human civilization is simply still in its infancy regarding governing the population.

100 years ago we had ww1, bit more back, feudalism etc.

Business can be conducted via webex and zoom ornon neutral 3rd party grounds if need be.

I would feel sorry if american tourists would need a visa for europe, as the americans which do travel and get aroynd are the nicest people, first timers get to see the world from another perspective.

I prefer if americans travel for holidays rather than....forgive me...in military uniforms.

This all worked without this approach, this is why interpol and fbi have collaborative projects.

Finance background here.

All these PEP, sanction lists, ofac monitoring, financial sanction lists already exist and every company with a worthwile monetary turnover ever facing an audit runs these background checks.

The laws are there, they are called the aml directives, the lists are there.

And most of the entries there are provided by eitjer uk or us entities, youll usually find foreign military personells data there, dob, rank, id number, name but not much else.

It is bit of a joke as many muslim people have similar names and joe shmoes get flagged for nothing very often.

Meanwhile, the people on these lists are very high up within their own government hierarchy, they probably have 5 differe t passports.

Btw, these lists are csv files often...some sophistication.

Yea, monitor peps, fugitives and terrorists, but find a way without combing through the whole worlds innocent citizens.

Please explain.

This might be true on military/nato matters, but economically, Europe and the EU can quite take care of themselves.

As for america, who has a stranglehold there?

If we leave conspiracy theories out of the equation, it is always the 2 parties un power and their corporate or institutional buddies.

I do not think anyone is thelling Trump or Bidens team who to invade or bombard next.

The US is the remaining superpower and thats all there really is.

Look at Musk, richest guy in the world, Trump was making fun of him.

It is not the people with money who have the power, money is a pre requisite to even be allowed near power.

The people with power un the us are simply the people with....power.

USA, with all its flaws, is nobodys vassal state.

I am not sure why this is downvoted, the guy is exactly right.

I would have thought HN is more on the small government political spectrum, it appears this does not count for foreign policy?

Oh dear, dear EU, please show some teeth on this matter, god help us if you do not.

The EU is the only place on earth having kinda sensitive big data/privacy laws and enforcements thereof.

I am familiar enough with data aggregators like lexis nexis, you do not want to be there or end up there without knowing or without having an option for removal of the entries.

Do not share anything, this paper speaks of fingerprints, damn, even my god damned government and the government where I reside do not have my fingerprint. Some countries have a biometric passport, but usually, taking fingerprints is done on suspects of major crimes.

Hell no, share nothing, for an entry to the us, there is paperwork that needs to be filled and of the us govt requests fingerprints then, that fine.

But an information exchange of personal data like fatca?

Thanks, but no thanks.

Did europe ask the USA for their citizen data? Thought so.

I know for sure the usa does not have access to some very important data from some european countries, and that is good the way it is.

A rising tide also makes some vessels capsize, though.

I do not see how crypto is not a zero sum game, actually its a negative sum game if we deduct the mining costs, lost coins and the exchanges fees. Wasnt this supposed to work without whaleish, centralised exchanges?

And right now, he has been banned on twitter.

Does not Musk realize that this makes him look really bad?

Stripe ceo is active here and kinda gets carte blanche often, not sure why exactly this is, probably many people here invested in it one way or another.

I have no dog in this one, but stripe certainly should not get away scott free.

Even with the most shitty PSPs and processors, I get answers to my emails within hours, within minutes on Skype and phone calls whenever I want, and thats still slow for my taste.

Locking funds without costomer service or account managers? Wth?

I have psps smaller and bigger than stripe and none of them would dare to not habe 247 support.

At least my psps tell me to the face they will not pay out. Makes me sleep that little bit better.

Whatever the law or reason, there has to be a minimal correspondence.

Lets not give anyone the benefit of the doubt when there is more than one story like this.

I am from the finance sector and I guarantee that what is happening here is neither right nor professional, assuming the op story is truthful.
