  • did the rest of the world just put all its eggs in the america basket?

    No, you don't throw your eggs into a basket when the basket is foo far away.

    It's quite the other way round. Imagine the North American continent drifting away from all other continents at the same time, and at an increasing speed.

    This hasn't been caused by the orange problem. It was observable several years earlier. But when they decided to afford their orange problem for the first time, it increased the speed significantly. And now it is increasing again, and both speed and acceleration increase.

  • I have this same acc for probably >20 years now. But you should not think that they would get smarter! They still want to me to verify my age from time to time.

    (I do never comply, of course, because all personal data there is either missing or fake)

  • You do not let your k8s control instance look "live" at your git server during the start (or reformation) of the whole cluster. It needs the (repo and) files checked out somewhere locally, and this local "somewhere" must exist at start time.

    Later, when your git is alive, you do a regular git pull for keeping it up to date.

  • If all they do is put ads on their site for your searches

    I think we should not believe it in a literal way. I guess this was simply the only kind of processing that this guy and/or his source knows and found worth mentioning.

  • puts ads based on what you’re searching.

    they don’t actually [...] process it in any way

    Well, this is processing the data, isn't it?

    Back in the days, some decades ago when Amazon "invented" the tracking and processing of every single mouse click in their online shop, it was big news in the IT world. First from a technical point of view, because it needed some serious computing power on their end, and it used up some bandwidth on the user's end, which was much more limited at that time than today. And from a data privacy point of view, because it was a huge step towards this world of total surveillance, constantly ongoing manipulation, behaviour based advertisement, George Orwell etc.

    Today we have gotten used to all that, even so much that such extreme statements have become possible, somewhat...

    they don’t actually do anything with the data
