We made this site for people who search. We were those people, searching Google for where to watch cars racing on the Nürburgring and then getting nothing but cryptic route descriptions on forums.
So we created a map with actual walking routes and people were finding them. Now they're not finding them and they're back to lots of searching.
We get some traction on social media too. But it's people who already go there and know a lot of what we provide already. People don't search Instagram for walking routes to POIs.
It's pretty much only allowed if there's an important reason for it. For example, to recover something invaluable (contract, code, report) that isn't available somewhere else and cannot be replaced. In that case that's also the only thing that them employer can look for. They can't open obviously unrelated e-mails. So before talking to legal, make sure you have a valid reason.
I worked as a detective in the Netherlands and we had a single task; 'waarheidsvinding', which means 'finding the truth'. We didn't have the task of convicting someone or finding a crime, we had the task of finding the truth. So in a case like this, that meant finding out exactly why someone jumped or fell from a balcony.
I feel like this one is impossible to do right. On one side, it's people like you saying: 'government oversight is hurting our innovation'. Directly opposed is: 'AI Companies are growing too fast and something bad will happen if oversight doesn't come soon.'
I agree with both and really don't have a clue what's the wise thing to do. I think it's probably the oversight thing, but since other countries will definitely compete without this oversight, someone will eventually release SkyNet. But do we want to be the first?
For giggles I asked ChatGPT to write a typical SEO optimized recipe. It picked cookies and started with:
"Ah, the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies! It always takes me back to my grandmother's cozy kitchen, where the warmth wasn't just from the oven, but also from the love and laughter we shared."
It's always impressive (almost scary) how well ChatGPT manages to work with these types of prompts.
> I also almost never use apps like dedicated banking apps or social media apps; instead, using Safari.
Nearly every bank I know of recommends using apps over their website, since in general they're safer than using their websites. But I'm in The Netherlands and I don't know whether banking apps in different countries have the same security standards.
I was unaware of this act before reading this, but I kinda like it. My current employer wants to do the absolute minimum in securing the software they develop. However, it's used at in organizations working on national energy and communications infrastructure, so it's somewhat important for it to be secure.
Meanwhile, we're way behind on updating much of our infrastructure and hardly ever check whether any of the open source libraries we use are up-to-date, nor whether they're reliable. I really hope this legislation pushes companies like mine to improve their software development practices, because I'm scared of the future.
I feel like blaming guns might upset some people, but I don't feel like this type of thing happens as much in the rest of the western world, where gun laws are typically a lot stricter.
Unless literally all headlines around this subject are incorrect (which wouldn't be the first time), Italy banned cultivated meat:
> Italian MPs have voted to back a law banning the production, sale or import of cultivated meat or animal feed
My Italian isn't good enough to actually judge whether this is a case of mistranslation or misinterpretation, so if you have any more nuanced quotes please provide some.
