Firefox through a VPN and every site that uses hcaptcha throws this up and doesn't let me in.

You're the one who is responsible for this web cancer? You purposefully disable access to VPN users and then try to pass off a "privacy pass?"

You're paying for the r&d that does into creating these products. The Surface Book is full of custom parts, and you really don't expect it to cost the same as other OEM laptops.

It also goes without saying the Surface line are luxury items.

Hi, I am the other founder. We are trying to automate task scheduling(RCPSP), delay tracking, progress reports, one-click priority change to turn around the whole ship.
The 3 inputs that we ask are - makers(who + how long), dependencies(optional), relative priority.
That’s the new way, including the illegal Tag Manager.

The old way would load the JS from https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js instead, and set different options.

Here in NL it's exploded. During lunch and dinner times Uber / TakeAway / Deliveroo is all you see on the streets.

For many restaurants this is the only income they have and it's highly encouraged to order some.

Not many people have gone down in disposable income, though. That might be a factor.
Read-only sites ought work without cookies. Perhaps part of the issue is that disabling cookies via APIs makes the {session,local}Storage objects throw exceptions instead of only storing the issues for the duration of the current browsing context, which breaks a lot of javascript that doesn't handle these exceptions and a lot of badly written sites depend on javascript to even render something.

I think that’s always been Microsoft’s point of the Surface line. The PC market is flooded with cheap laptops, and Microsoft wanted something premium to compete against Apple.
> It's a complete myth that a single data point is inadequate for making predictions. For example, let's take Usain Bolt's 100m World Record of 9.58 seconds. Imagine that was the only data point we had regarding human running speed. Wth that one data point we could confidently make a powerful prediction, that anyone we pick from the world population will take more than 9.58 seconds to run 100 meters.

We have measured countless people running the 100 meter and that's why we know who is the fastest. Isn't the world record the opposite of one data point by the accumulated knowledge is contains?
The thing is, flat UI worked really well on the phone, which it was designed for.

It's just that some idiot manager came up with the "unified experience" idea and shoved that shit onto desktop Windows without any time for polish.

Ironically I think pretty much anyone's first experience with metro was Windows 8 on PC, which was such a disaster that people wouldn't even give Windows phone a try because it had the same UI that they learned to hate. Not to say this is the reason Windows Phone failed, but probably one of the many factors.
The legislation was long overdue. It's a bit more complex than it ought to be but the intentions are just fine. The issue is that there's a huge number of organisations that prefer not to comply or have every intention to make things intrusive and annoying so that people click "accept" to make it go away.

Google inserts many of those banners due to google analytics or ads being used. Their main intention is to gather more user data and make users provide data. This is NOT a 1:1 match with what site owners will want - which is to have users and some basic analytics.

The cookie banners are hostile and intrusive because they are designed to be so. The hope is that users are trained to click 'yes' to get rid of the annoyance.

The GDPR explicitly states that technical cookies are fine, so most sites wouldn't need any banner except for using google analytics & ads. So use a different analytics and you don't need a banner.

It's not the law, it's the implementation and the oligopoly of and companies pushing this implementation.
It respects the customer wish to not pay a penny for anything.

>Later I learned the Fairlight, hooked two of its channels up to galvos and did laser shows with it.

That seems neat. I did some poking around about how that could work.. Oscilloscope music. fun.
> Large amounts of the population(willing to bet north of 99%) have absolutely 0 clue what cookies are in the context of the web or what they imply. Most people just click on "accept", just to get it out of their way.

That's exactly the reason the law exists! And that's why it has to say that the clueless option ("just clicking") should be the one preserving your privacy.

It's why the law goes through such lengths to make the dumb thing the right thing: Because it's supposed to protect the privacy of people without those people even having to know what happens.

Yes, early on I was trying to use Inkscape on Mac OS. I finally switched to Affinity Desginer and was much happier. Hopefully, they fix the performance so that Inkscape can finally be a reasonable option on Mac OS.
Here's the key developers behind Embersj talking about why they moved away from two-way data binding: http://thechangelog.com/131/ (fast forward to 0:44):

"It is easy to end up in a state where you can't yourself explain how data flows through it. Even though both Angular and Ember have events and data bindings, data bindings feels so cool that people started tunneling events through data bindings. People are abusing two way data bindings to express something that is fundamentally an event. Ember 2.0 is moving away from two way data bindings as the primary method of communication to events. We added too much sugar around two-way data bindings and that led people to use two-way data bindings as an event bus."

There is this notion I see going around that in the past people survived by being brutish animals and smart people would have died quick. In fact, it's the opposite. We outcompeted other animals because we are NOT like them. Because we engineer. In a hunter gatherer society someone who builds traps, designs better huts or tents, etc could be extremely valuable.

Buffet's self-deprecation is admirable but lacks imagination.
Sure, but killing a kitten is illegal, and accepting cookies isn't. They aren't asking for someone to commit a crime.

I assume it would be legal to charge money for reading the content... could they require that you create an account?
Yay, let the EU slaughter what remains of the content ecosystem.
Let's say the probability of someone leaving their job in a given day is 1/100.

If you have 100 employees, from which each one of them is working on some critical piece of software that nobody fully understand, eventually you get a death spiral of orphaned projects.
> In the end, you often spend much more time debugging strange issues with the reflection based alternatives than you do actually writing and maintaining the boilerplate.

It pains me to say that, but I think you are right. A lot of boilerplate elimination ends up being premature generalization.

Why do they even run a story where the main takeaway is "The site you are reading this on, is breaking the law"?

WinUI 3 is VERY DIFFERENT than WinUI 2. It's a full UI layer that you can run on UWP and Win32. https://microsoft.github.io/microsoft-ui-xaml/about.html
This hardware is a good choice for people in Windows Eco-system.

But for people on MacOS or Linux these prices doesn't make sense given they can get better bang for bucks. Also based on previous experience with Surface Book and Surface Pro will not touch microsoft hardware or software (except for testing cross-platform application).

Indeed haven't used Windows extensively for quite sometime since Windows 7. Still using a Macbook Pro bought in 2014, but do not use Surface book bought few years later as it's not as usable and nice condition compared to Macbook Pro, which is still chugging along very nicely.
Where Have the Paycheck Protection Loans Gone So Far?
I reinstalled Uber Eats after receiving several generous coupons.

That app is awful. It took me six tries to login, because I genuinely couldn’t figure out that the “ok” button was a tiny black bar all the way at the bottom of the screen (I was using an iPad). I also struggled to change my default address from Chicago to LA, and almost ordered food in Chicago after changing my home address in the app. At multiple steps during the ordering process the UI randomly changed, making it really hard for me to find what I was looking for.

I’m not surprised that Uber Eats isn’t winning. Once my coupons are done I’m uninstalling that app and going back to Door Dash.
Yes. This is applicable to most automation, machine learning and AI. These technologies are generally really bad at sense checking their results.

At the end of the day they match patterns that are mathematically the “most correct” pattern even if it’s obviously not the correct answer. This is the Achilles heel of these technologies that is very hard to overcome and why any real applications generally still have a human in the loop.

See Facebook’s “chatbot” experiment where they called it off after realizing the only way to have it work in practice was to have an army of humans behind the scenes sense checking answers. The grand AI engine that takes over for humans is still a pipe dream for most applications.

Even all these “neutrality flags” are generally nothing more than a keyword search. Put words like COVID-19 or Coronavirus in your post and Medium puts a banner at the top saying the article hasn’t been fact checked.

Well, the US is the lawless West, where anything on a clickthru is legal and binding for in perpetuity... And you also gave up your rights to sue.

One of our very own congresscritters Trey Hollingsworth, put out a survey to make a corporate liability shield making businesses not culpable when people coming back to work die from Covid-19. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/bloomington/comments/gejtlv/treys_l... )

> Today we know 2-way data binding is gimmicky and makes programs hard to debug. This is the reason React uses unidirectional data flow.

It makes sense for simple apps that are mainly rendering and outputting information/data.

Writing a React that handles even simple forms is however a trip back to the early days of web, where you gotta handle your own DOM events. I'm unclear when repeating the same DOM handlers all over the place became "easier to debug"
Core product will probably be alright, though there may be some trimming. Secondary stuff like internal tool teams, BIs, etc. will probably catch the brunt of it. If you're an under-performer or on a PIP and didn't get cut already I'd start looking.

Uber was already a long-term market capture play. They were losing money but grabbing the market with the hope that they'd be able to get automated cars on the road in time. That was kind of sustainable (for a while, anyway), but now they're getting even less cash and will likely have to cut back to the must-haves.
For us, the geeks and tech people, why not? But for ordinary people it could be simpler and easier to understand which had a standard icon etc. Idea would be that it replaces all dialogs in top of normal content.

Maybe it could have some other standardization too, e.g. that if you have third-party trackers you must explicitely list them using <meta /> tags and browsers could make the list of trackers for the "blocker button" like that.

The point being that having every website to implement their own dialogs (that just obscure the content) it has shown to become a terrible mess. None is bothered to read the dialogs, they just hit what ever buttons to get to the content.
> so it would stop look and feel like it is still in 2005

Please don't do this, or if you do, leave an option for those of us long-term users who are used to the existing UI.

Between the Office Ribbon, Metro/Modern/WinRT/UWP/WinUI 3, Material design, I've up to my ears in flat, wasted space UIs designed to look as empty as possible in the name of 'cleanliness' and I'd hate to have my primary vector editor fall victim to the 2010s UI dark ages.
Yup. Just thinking off the top of my head in TNG for the Galaxy Class alone there was the the USS Galaxy, USS Enterprise and USS Yamato. There were also a ton more visible during the Dominion War.
I schedule things. I happened to use google Calendar, but the choice is unimportant. Block out time as busy: work, commute, gym, cooking, eating, sleeping, whatever. Pick the amount of practice needed for the desired target activity. It's quite clear when you can't add something new, and it's clear from progress in things when you need to shift. Some things take less to maintain than others.

It also makes doing things you want easy, and helps build habits. "Willpower doesn't work, habits do. Motivation doesn't work, planning does." is true in my experience.
Data protection laws would still limit what companies could do with the data after they obtained it, even if they required that data to access the site.
Summary from the end of the page:

“The economic impact of COVID-19, both measured by the number of COVID-19 cases per capita and by the number of initial unemployment claims per capita, does not explain the geographical distribution of PPP loans. In contrast, we find that lenders’ preference for borrowers with an existing relationship and the market share of community banks are the main factors explaining the geographical variation in PPP funding. These results are preliminary and subject to caveats. We leave a causal analysis to ongoing and future work.”
I just looked and Uber is still worth $47 billion. That seems absurd to me.
Thats actually what the new ePrivacy regulation is planning. It's just not been adopted still, although it originally should have been 2018.

To quote:

"Simpler rules on cookies: the cookie provision, which has resulted in an overload of consent requests for internet users, will be streamlined. The new rule will be more user-friendly as browser settings will provide for an easy way to accept or refuse tracking cookies and other identifiers. The proposal also clarifies that no consent is needed for non-privacy intrusive cookies improving internet experience (e.g. to remember shopping cart history) or cookies used by a website to count the number of visitors."

Ask HN: Specializing in DevOps vs. Full Stack Dev
My current role is "DevOps/Platform Engineer". I write a lot of glue code that hooks different Cloud services together. CI/CD, Docker, Config Mgmt, etc. It's fun and it pays the bills.
Recently, I've enjoyed learning Ruby on Rails outside of work.

I like the fact that everything is contained in a monolithic application VS tiny microservices scattered across different cloud providers. It's less mentally taxing I believe.

So I'm curious about salary/job growth of DevOps/Platform engineers VS Full Stack Web Devs. Does one pay more than the other? Does one have more or less competition?
This is a wonderful discovery. I had built up a picture of black hole environments always being an accretion disk plus lots of powerful radiation, which would make most unexplorable without some incredibly survivable craft.

A quiet non-accreting hole would be something you could actually visit and be curious about without getting fried by radiation or sandblasted by disk material. That's awesome.

Why? If a company is transparent about what they're collecting and how it's used, I don't see how there is anything wrong with them refusing you service if you refuse to accept their terms. Websites and the businesses that run them aren't public property that you have a right to use. The problem comes when they secretly gather and exploit your information.
> True. But agency is just how we rationalize responsibility being "fair", no?

I doubt this is a description many people would agree with - that agency doesn't exist but we just pretend it does so we feel better about locking people up to modify their behaviour. Aside from anything else, if we are probabilistic systems, we presumably can't actually do things like rationalise, or design things like legal systems. Similarly, I'm not sure it makes sense to talk about the legal system as having a goal if it is a (presumably slightly more complex) probabilistic system.

Of course, just as with materialism we can bite the bullet and accept that our typical descriptions of human life are strictly false and the real story is just a scaled up version of billiard balls knocking each other around (mutatis mutandis for the probabilistic picture). But if we want a picture that lets us keep some of our current view of human life, it is not clear that bringing probabilistic systems into the picture helps any.
Most websites wouldn't need them to begin with (except to use Google analytics and ads).

You can do basic user statistics without active tracking and for technical cookies the banners (nor any other form of consents) is necessary.

The ad industry (Google & co) have pushed these user-hostile banners, it's not a feature of the law.

Key question is: When do you need the money?

Depending on time frame is the key to deciding where to put it.

How to put it, the best advise, and I am doing this myself, is to put it in a little at a time. For my needs, I have selected 8 places to put the money. Based on 3 different times to need the money. I then looked at each to determine where I thought they were going. i.e. money in emerging markets I will not put into until a year from now. Real estate and banking I am waiting to the start of summer. Others started a month ago. When I expected to be fully invested. For each I assigned now much in total I plan to put in. This gives me an amount over time to invest.

Using your 80K, assume you wanted 3 pots. Pot A is 35K, pot B is 25K and Pot C is 20K. Assume you want to put pot A 35K in over the next 6 months - assumption being you expect the bottom of that market within that time frame. 6 months is approximately 180 days - or $194 per day - $1361 per week. So I would either once a week put in $1361 or every other week $2722. In your case, I would probably do it every week.

I highly recommend vanguard.

Plan two, follow Warren Buffets advice - he said when he dies to put in 10 amount in short term government bond fund for his wife to spend every year, and the rest in a S&P 500.

Years ago an engineer friend of mine had an upstairs neighbor who would play the same radio station at high volumes for long periods of the day, often well into the wee hours. Pleas for change had no effect.

So my friend bought and built an FM transmitter kit. He put it in his apartment in the closest spot to the guy's stereo. And then he broadcast beautiful silence on that radio station's frequency. The neighbor tried other stations for a while, but it just wasn't the same.

I wonder if a Bluetooth version of that is possible.
Ah my mistake. Didn't recognize the domain.
Time to wait another 3 years.
