@neil for one of our clients we had to use a SAP platform to upload invoices on. Which they then demanded we had to pay a licence for, the cheek. We expensed it back to the client.

@bigcalm in which case the sites are not complying if they have set cookies before asking permission.

The cookie law is such a sad state of affairs. Mainly driven by poor implementation and people not wanting to do the right thing.

Personally quite proud our sites issue zero tracking cookies.

Let's hear some real world stories for the next PGSQL Phriday (#pgsqlphriday)

@ascherbaum quite. Enshitification as Cory Doctorow puts it.

@KimSJ @ChrisMayLA6 oh yes, no doubt would change behaviours. Those examples would still put cash into the economy though.

Likely it would work well combined with simplifying out tax system. Personally I think just tax any income at the same level regardless of source.

@ChrisMayLA6 if inheritance tax was 100% I bet there would be very different views on the value of society and how the state supports people.

Even if it would not result in everyone starting at the same point in life. I suspect it would yield a more equitable society.

@neil likely very easy with an ESP32 and mosfet. Even easier if you used some WS2812 (Neopixel) strips and WLED.

@larsmb the examples I remember were based on the concept the car had a siren of a fixed frequency.

I think trying to compute the relative frequency shift of what is likely white/pink noise, would extremely difficult.

Especially if the car was accelerating, then the dominant noise would be increasing in frequency anyway.

Any form of radar would be far easier and more reliable.

You know LinkedIn, you could just put the 'message' that someone has sent me into the email you sent me about it.

It's not like it was only the 11th trillion email you sent me today.

Let's just dispense with the concept that products are trying to help users.

@larsmb surely that would require the car to be outputting a sound of a know frequency.

Why do companies of mature products think a big redesign is a good idea. I mean people were perfectly happy with the existing design. By all means keep slowly tweaking and improving things. But we don't need to completely redesign the interface every few years.

@nthony @ascherbaum only if they pay enough?

@sil it really feels that any level of professionalism left linkedin long ago.

@ftisiot this isn't a fault of batch processing. What you describe is using the wrong approach for a specific use case.

Latency, throughput and cost all tradeoff. So it depends which is more important for a specific situation.

There are times when you want lower latency analytics, so solve it differently.

There are times when your data is naturally batched.

There are times when crunching data overnight is perfectly fine.
