Some of the biggest online e-filing services—unbeknownst to millions of users—have been sharing sensitive user financial information with Meta. But of course - your entries on Schedule A are important for determining your friend status

😲!
I thought there were some limits as to what people would do. Holy f***! My opinion of some of the human race has dropped even lower! I also thought that was impossible until a minute ago.

Quote: Some services linked user names and email addresses with detailed information like income, refund amounts, filing status, and even the amount of dependents’ college scholarships.
...
it confirmed was sometimes generated and shared “regardless of whether the person using the tax filing service has an account on Facebook” or other Meta service.
I already knew about the "ghost profiles" and the danger of the meta pixels but this is IMHO again crossing all the limits
Where are the class-lawsuits when you need it?
Big Tech players should really start getting hard punishments for such behaviour, and I mean really hard, if not... they will continue doing the same as until now... That means: pay the fine, laugh their asses off and continue doing the same, because it brings waaaayyy more money that what they have to pay when caught.

Completely agree - the best part of the article are quotes from the tax prep company spokespeople - "we take our customer's privacy seriously." - Uh huh, you just got caught with your hand in the cookie jar you bottom feeding scum bags.
I think we'll see the class actions soon enough.

I’ve become convinced that “little languages”—small languages designed to solve very specific problems—are the future of programming "It's a small world after all"
Now maybe that song will stick in *your* head for a few days.

Quote: to solve very specific problems
The premise and the conclusion are faulty. There are no longer "small problems", and small languages are definitely not the future of computing. Otherwise, it's an interesting read!

I found this a provocative article, and, very well written.
I can see many uses for an interactive at runtime DSL, in a strongly typed language like C# that, by definition, does not have a REPL facility.

Microsoft has tagged Windows 10, version 22H2 (aka the Windows 10 2022 Update) for broad deployment, thus making it available to everyone via Windows Update. Not to be confused with Windows 11 22H2, or the Hummer H2
