It’s basically gambling on the nerdiness of the question’s writer. Do they think HTML is a programming language? Do they know that people think it’s a programming language and trying to trap them? Do they know it’s not a programming language but also know most people would think it is one and so are using the common, loose definition of a programming language in order not to trap people?

My brain would melt

Just so you know: GDPR has (mostly) nothing to do with those cookie banners. It’s a very broad text that doesn’t go into specifics like that.

What you’re seeing is a result of the 2002 E-Privacy directive that has been reinterpreted by data privacy authorities in light of the new definition of consent brought by the GDPR.

Basically, since 2002, websites are required to ask users for consent before depositing cookies. The issue was that there was no definition of what this consent meant. What the GDPR did is simply to define the concept of consent as a free expression of will that must come from a positive act (i.e. it must be explicit rather than implicit).

The GDPR was supposed to come out with a sister regulation called the E-Privacy regulation, but due to intense lobbying that text was buried. Local data protection authorities in Europe then decided to reinterpret that old directive in light of the GDPR to fill the gap.

All in all, blame the lobbyists, not the GDPR

Anyone got the source for that? Not that I doubt it, I just want to share the original source rather than a reddit screenshot

From the looks of it, what they’re calculating is a net promoter score. The idea is that, in some context, what you actually want to know is whether your target audience would be willing to actually promote your business to their friends and family or not.

It’s very common in retail and other competitive markets, because a customer that had an “okay” experience could still go to a competitor, so only customers who had a great experience (7+ out of ten) are actually loyal, returning clients.

Don’t know if that’s the best method to gather impressions on workplace environment though, I don’t think many people would consider their workplace “amazing”

Not sure whether it means something else in English, but in french a vernissage is the first opening of an art exhibition

Hey, I’ll let you know that I’m a judgmental asshole and I happen to be french, but I don’t hate the world, only the parts that aren’t french

Oh, I couldn’t find words to describe it to my friends but “digital art student Summer projects” is exactly what it looks like!

So it’s more like “female cat, I farted”

I remember the “They hate us for our freedom” line from the bush-era. I was still a kid at the time and I clearly remember asking my parents about it because it seemed like such a weird thing to say.

Of course, as a french kid, this was also the time when I kept seeing Americans on TV pouring wine in the sewers and calling us surrender monkeys because we refused to join the Irak war, so that might have influenced me a bit

And yet Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is both super fun and breathtakingly beautiful

Very true in YouTube’s comment section

“Sir, we fired a single warning shot on the edge of their formation and their whole fleet just sank!”

Our form of capitalism is just what happens when capitalists try to placate the working class by giving them just barely enough breathing room that they stop actually revolting and keep to grumbling. And even that is under attack nowadays, under the pretext that their’s suddenly not enough money to sustain it even though the rich keep getting richer

Don’t forget he also reinstated slavery throughout the French empire, which had been banned by the Republic he toppled. He also led thousands upon thousands to their death and caused massive loss of life in Europe. He did some good, but his legacy is definitely mixed to say the least

So what’s the issue about that again?

I can’t see any context where those two sentences wouldn’t be awful

France refused asylum to Snowden when the US thew their weight around

I just use one of these bad boys

“Why should we solve the world’s problems for free? The rest of the world should pay us!”

The UD absolutely could, but Microsoft couldn’t without facing massive legal trouble. That is, if the US legal system follows through and actually enforces EU court orders.

Regardless, unless specifically being forced to do so by the US, Microsoft wouldn’t have any reason to leave a billions-dollars market
