die Aussage von “dirk n” ist als Anzeige gekennzeichnet. warum ist der Auftraggeber geschwärzt. wäre es nicht interessant zu wissen, wer solche Anzeigen schaltet?

agree. at the same time i wonder whether the usual authentication system is adequate given a) the sensitive nature of the data and b) the data’s implications for people who have not signed up, e.g., if my cousin signs up and provides data, the data he provides is not really his but, in a way, also mine. so, i wonder how much data processing is really covered by my cousin’s consent, given that it is not really his data alone, and whether, given this circumstances, special provisions should have been provided by the processor.

(personally i tend to believe that companies like 23&me should not exist in the first place, given that their operation requires processing of sensitive data from people who have not consented to the use of their data, i.e. processing of relational data should require consent of all related partners.)

I’ve got the same problem. my impression is that the recommender systems are built in such a way that they report any match regardless of how far removed it is from the intent of the user. i guess it’s the same reason why boolean operator don’t work anymore in google etc. makes sense from a business perspective i guess but the user experience is just horrible

From german wikipedia: It was a practice called Buntschießen, ~ multi-color shooting, as German chemical weapons were color-coded. One would start with “Maskenbrechern” ~mask-breakers (blue) , designed to force soldiers to remove their masks, which were then followed by lung-affecting agents (green).

no it’s not. but you should know what you’re getting into.

in the beginning of my PhD i really loved what i was doing. from an intellectually point of view i still do. but later, i.e. after 3 years doing a shitty postdoc, i realized that I was not cut out for academia but nevertheless loved doing science.

however, i was lucky to find a place in industry doing what i like.

so i guess my 2c is: think about what comes after the PhD and work towards that goal. a PhD is usually not a goal in itself. hth
