Did you mis-post this? I don't see the connection to the op...

I feel it's my duty to note web-sites that try perverse or sneaky ways to get around obeying European privacy laws (and I then 0.0.0.0 them in my .hosts file).
You should be happy that those laws were put in place. You might not get the full benefit of them, because of where you are, but some of it filters through, as it makes the worst offenders more visible (and reviled).

So your argument is with medium.com, not the article per se??
ok.
Their privacy policy is 11 pages or about 3000 words, give or take. Medium Privacy Policy – Medium Policy – Medium[^]
Seems more digestible than "900,000" words as you claimed.

It links through to several other pages, none of which provide a suitable method for maintaining one's privacy, as required by European law.
Another stipulation of the law is that privacy policies must be explicit, simple, and in plain language. They have clearly, and intentionally, subverted that.
Strange how you care about my understandable PoV-exaggeration of the number of words in their deceptive documents, but don't seem to care that they are taking you for a ride and playing you for a mug.

Dude, you assume way too much. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from. It wasn't and isn't still clear to me. I was confused as to why you replied the way you did, and I'm still kinda confused now. Ok, I get using hyperbole to try to make a point. Sorry, but I just don't see it.
I get wanting to have privacy and all, I just don't see what medium is doing to violate yours or mine. Are you saying because medium has links to other sites that are less-than-compliant (in your view) that makes medium less-than-compliant? That seems like an odd requirement and doubtful the law does or could require such.
Also, it seems to be a misplaced complaint in context of the OP, which is what is also confusing.
Anyway, have a great day. Sorry to have caused you distress.

Don't be so negative! This is good news!
I love it when winio updates!
So many computers go off-line that my Internet speed increases by an order of magnitude.

How smart is the form of artificial intelligence known as deep learning computer networks, and how closely do these machines mimic the human brain? They have improved greatly in recent years, but still have a long way to go, according to a team of cognitive psychologists. "Ceci n'est pas une pipe."

From the machine's perspective:- A teapot is a bunch of pixels
- A golf ball is a bunch of pixels
- A picture is a bunch of pixels
- a pixel is a few ones and zeroes
An AI doesn't "tell things apart"; it just reads in ones and zeroes, processes stuff, and outputs ones and zeroes as a result of the process.
"Journalists" really need to stop thinking that AIs are thinking, because they're not.

From the machine's humans perspective: (visually)
A teapot is a bunch of stimulations of photoreceptor cells
A golf ball is a bunch of stimulations of photoreceptor cells
A picture is a bunch of stimulations of photoreceptor cells
stimulations of photoreceptor cells are turned to electrical and chemical signals
Humans don't "tell things apart"; they just read in sensory stimulations, processes stuff, and output blurbs as a result of the process.

Sarah Hoyt sounds that of a genius and all around awesome mind.

Yeah, I'm not buying the whole AI is on the moon thing yet either. If AI was all that it would have already replaced the idiots developing it for a 'human-upgrade' and better security.

Astronomers have revealed details of mysterious signals emanating from a distant galaxy, picked up by a telescope in Canada. "That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive"

I have never understood why astronomers can't get their heads around the idea: "There might be something between us and what we're looking at".
You should only consider something as unusual or new after you have eliminated all the possible obvious conclusions -- but they never, ever look for obvious conclusions; it's always "Hey! Wow! Look at this! Give me more money!"

No. We pretty much all just make stuff up. Granted, some of it gets used for a while, but in the end, we(and what we create) are all just dust(bits) in the wind.

A good metric to measure software maintainability is the holy grail of software metrics. In this article, Alexander von Zitzewitz, software architect and CEO at hello2morrow, explores a promising new metric to track maintainability. Step 0: did I write it (-1000 to the score)

This is actually quite clever.
Unfortunately, as is often the case when you put clever things in the hands of managers, it will probably devolve into consuming a lot more time and effort than "dumber" ways.
