I started their but it felt like a dodgy way (as it could be seen to be illegal). We then just went aloffical and went through Google search API’s with LinkedIn as the target. Worked a treat and was cheaper than recruiter!!!

So when pay the highest scraper, it’s ok! Same data, different manner.

I had the pleasure of scraping LinkedIn for a client. Great fun.

You should study a bit of physical geography and glacialology.

Not all ‘ice ages’ are the same.

A true ice age as you discuss is due to the distance we are from the sun. Unfortunately, we are in the opposite and the compounding effects of human induced greenhouse effect will doom us. It’s a bit like nature/nuture.

There is stuff we can control. How we handle our species and our home, the earth.

It is a delete request. Your behavior may change and is on you. So, if you always don’t consent, nothing to delete.

That isn't how the collection of data works.

It's not like brokers wait around for you to sign up for something new.

Old data is resold, merged with new data, mixed, stolen, discovered, reformatted... etc...

Your actions of course do have an impact, but does changing your behavior prevent the outcome of your data being collected?

Not even close.

But you did consent every time you agree to some TOS you don't read. This is, of course, stretching the definition of consent, but legally you did.

CEO of tobacco do the same. What’s your point? We sell things that are bad for humans. It’s a significant part of our global GDP

The problem is not the intelligence of the LLM. It is the intelligence and desire to make things easy of the intelligence using them.

Because people who can’t code but now can have zero understanding of the ‘path to production quality code’

Of course it is mind blowing for them.

I hope he knows you are proud of him.

Yes. Money does make you happy (really, the pursuit of the money does not as it is not what we are evolved to be happy about)

Logging (at scale) is the most important thing to understand reality in your system. At scale, realities are many.

Metrics enable the ability to aggregate concepts into some kind of meaning.

Meaning can then have alerts associated to them.

You cannot create metrics on things you don’t know, which is why logging is the base.

Btw: logging and the ability to observe systems was the single and most successful act I have done in my career as a Data Product Manager. I have had to fight, do tricks and ‘play the game’ so much.

I cannot stress the importance of understanding atomic movements.

The cost is high but not as high as the cost of not knowing.
