Kapsalon is een uitstekende optie.

Hutspot is ook wel hoog op mijn lijst. Ik doe ook vaak boerenkoolstamppot, maar dan met kokosmelk, gebakken uitjes, katjang pedis, en sambal. Heerlijk.

Oh, maar bitterballen zijn ook fantastisch.

Ugh, te moeilijk. We hebben een prima keuken, eigenlijk.

It might be possible to build Firefox for less than the IIRC ~$500M that's currently budgeted, but $37.5M seems optimistic.

CEO salary is paid mostly from default search engine deals. But the same holds true for Firefox development, so you're right that the money doesn't go towards developing Firefox.

Combining lots of data points that aren't about you specifically, don't really give anyone more info about you specifically, right? Or how would that work?

I mean, there's always the source code. If we just assume everyone has it in for us regardless of whether we have anything to indicate that that is actually happening, then of course we're going to find that everyone has it in for us.

I don't know what "all of them" means, but e.g. Facebook and Google do a whole lot more than that. They'll tell thousands of companies "here's someone that probably lives around here, is about this age, this gender, has these hobbies, etc. - who wants to advertise to them?"

At that point, there's not much difference between that, and knowing that that "is" you. They know a lot about you (i.e. you specifically), and use that to influence what you see and who can hear what you say.

So aggregated data like "x users have seen this ad, y users have clicked it", but not "this person has clicked the ad and likes baseball"?

En het laat natuurlijk zien dat Europa toch niet bijzonder eensgezind is.

Irony is e.g. writing a song about irony, and then filling it with events that aren't ironic.

Steelmanning their point, they might not be saying that all this is orchestrated by some third party (e.g. Russia), but that they are benefiting from it.

To which I'd say: unfortunately, the same holds true for the alternative.
