I believe withdraw is after the fact, while what we need here is an option to reject the consent in the first place.

It’s called “using an extension to manage cookies”. There are dozens of extensions for this.

Encoding the usage of a particular (probably otherwise short-lived) technology in law is generally a pretty bad idea. Sure, have the EU write laws about cookies - the two outcomes are A) this becomes useless when people switch to a different tech stack that doesn’t use cookies B) we’re stuck using 30-year-old technology to try to get things done, at least for regulated industries like banking or government services. Like the IE regulatory situation in Korea but worse.

The part of GDPR that covers this in depth is Recital 32.

https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-32/

There's a lot of detail, but the most important part is this: "...inactivity should not therefore constitute consent."

While I'm not sure there's an EU-wide ruling, the Greek DPA has specifically called out the "Consent" option being more visually prominent than the "Not Consent" option. They also mention the anti-pattern of bugging for consent daily but not bugging for un-consent afterwards, but that probably runs more afoul of "consent must be as easy to withdraw as to give" rather than "freely given."

It is quite possible for lockdown measures to be more destructive than the disease they seek to prevent. Taken to an extreme, forbidding all human contact to protect against the common cold would be an example of such.

And it's definitely worth considering when trying to determine if a lockdown was "worth" it. If you locked down and 10k people died, the lockdown looks a lot worse when 9k of those deaths were due to suicides/"elective" procedures/missed cancer/etc. Especially if only 20k deaths were expected from the disease if there was no lockdown at all...

True. But agency is just how we rationalize responsibility being "fair", no?

The legal system is designed with "agency" in mind, but it's true purpose is to create law abiding citizens. We hold people responsible, because doing so alters behavior, mechanism of altered behavior is just window dressing.

Can anyone offer any insight on this? If memory serves, WPF is backed by DirectX. How can they hope to beat that performance? Performance improvements over its MVVM? Modern UI toolkits tend to add high-level abstractions and degrade performance (e.g. by relying on web technologies), rather than enhance it.

I am not sure who 'most' are, but whenever the issue comes up for discussion, dualism seems to be quite well represented, including in HN.

If I am not mistaken, you are assuming something along the lines that the physical world is deterministic, and this implies that materialism is incompatible with free will. Quite a few philosophers and scientists (perhaps a majority) are materialists who also are "compatibilists", thinking some form of free will is available within materialism. Here's Sean Carroll discussing it lightly [1], and Daniel Dennett has expounded in depth on the question.

Personally, I am not convinced that the free will of compatibilism much resembles the sort of free will as it is commonly imagined, but regardless, the apparent inconsistency that you outline here is not necessarily so, as an incompatibilist-deterministic-materialist can presumaby think that it was inevitable that we would organize society as if we had free will!

What if there was a service that would automatically email their legal team to withdraw your consent after you close the tab? Like every single time you just click OK and then afterwards they'll have to manually adhere to your request and delete the data again. That would make bad consent UI incredibly expensive :)

PGDG is effectively an industry consortium of the aligned interests of corporate members—i.e., the vendors. Things don’t “happen” at the level of PGDG, any more than things happen at the level of the UN. Both organizations are there to create opportunities for consensus between members; but in both organizations, it’s the individual members that then go on to actually do things, mostly without one-another’s help.

Perhaps browsers could look for a /cookies.json file that provides more information in a standard format about what the cookies are and why they are needed.

Then the browser can display this however it is needed and let the user decide which to accept. Plugins could also automate this for the most popular websites so that only the necessary ones are used.

I just block all non-first party cookies with uMatrix. It's not perfect though and sometimes others have to be enabled, especially Google otherwise you'll spend your life completing Captchas.
The main issue with UI on Linux is that toolkits have a higher churn than in Windows - this is because there isn't really "Gtk", "Qt" or whatever, but "Gtk2", "Gtk3", "Gtk4", "Qt4", "Qt5", etc (and i'm sure that if i mentioned "Qt3" i'm sure someone would point out that nobody uses that anymore :-P).

Writing something in Win32 will ensure it will run in 10 years from now and chances are it'll also run 20 years from now. As a user you have a very high chance of finding applications that work regardless of when they were made. As a developer you can focus on your tasks without wasting time to "upgrade" to the latest fad (Microsoft does release new toolkits, but the old stuff keep working and Win32 is the stablest of them all). And your knowledge will still be perfectly valid, no need to waste time learning how to do the exact same stuff in a different way.

Writing something in Gtk3 (the current stable one) will ensure... well, once Gtk4 is stable, Gtk3 will be deprecated and the one to avoid. Qt can't even remain stable in the long term if they wanted (though they do not seem to want to - after all Qt is middleware targeted to application developers, not a platform component regardless if KDE pretends that it is) because of C++. As a user you are limited in the applications you can find and have to keep around all sorts of different toolkits - which wouldn't be that great of an issue (hard disk space is cheap) if those toolkits were still supported and compiled. Except the only distribution i'm aware that provides -say- Gtk1 is Slackware and Qt4 is already on its way out by most distributions. Gtk2 will soon follow (and perhaps some distributions will already have it dropped). As a developer you have to chase after the brokenness that Gtk and Qt developers introduce (though TBF Qt seems a bit better here, probably because they are getting paid by selling Qt licenses and they cant annoy the developers using Qt too much) and waste time "keeping up" just so that your existing application will keep working.

Above X there aren't any stable UI APIs (unless you count Athena but that hasn't received any updates since the 80s - even the updates 3rd parties made during the 90s to improve its look a bit never became part of the "official" distribution). And people want to get rid of X's stability too with Wayland.

> In an SEC filing dating back to last week, Uber disclosed plans to layoff 3,700 employees. The figure amounts to around 14% percent of the ride hailing giant’s total workforce.

Do drivers count as employees in states like California, but as independent contractors elsewhere? The answer would provide greater context to these numbers.

From the article: «The discovery of a silent, invisible black hole in HR 6819 provides clues about where the many hidden black holes in the Milky Way might be. “There must be hundreds of millions of black holes out there, but we know about only very few.

Baade adds that finding a black hole in a triple system so close by indicates that we are seeing just “the tip of an exciting iceberg.”»

As other people mentioned, this is shortsighted. What you want to target is a balance between exploitation, 'bring value to the business', and process improvement, 'how do we simplify our processes to make it simpler to bring value to the business in the future'.

Both can be argued with concrete scenarios and data.
~4000 years.

The Huns or any other tribal group brining things through conquest doesn’t makes that much sense.

Finnic/Baltic-Finnic languages (Finnish and Estonian), Sami languages and (true) Ugric like Hungarian and Khanty are distinct groups that while might have had a common ancestor that would be predating the Huns even further (~7000 years ago) then you have Samoyedic languages which are also Uralic but tend to be looked at even more separately due to the differences despite Samoyedic meaning Sami people.

Samoyedic is the language used by the native Siberian and Russian Arctic tribes basically the Inuit/First Nations of Russia.

If anything I would bet on the fact that it’s more likely that the Uralic languages spread from the Eurasian Arctic south into Siberia and the Ural during say the last ice age than they were brought into Europe by the Huns circa -+couple of centuries 0AD.
I agree that you should correct a deficiency immediately, but I think it should be done with utmost clarity.'Casually' implies that you as a manager might not care about the outcome or might not express your true concern about the incident. I always make it very clear that an expectation has not been met.

Several years back I took a "Crucial Accountability" course on having accountability conversations. In their process there were four phases to every accountability conversation: 1) Reiterate the expectation 2) Describe the incident in question 3) Ask the employee to describe the gap between the expectations and their behavior in the incident 4) Have a conversation about what we're going to do about it.

I've used this model many times and it is very effective. Usually the employee leaves the conversation understanding what I expect and assures me that they will try to do better. Sometimes it requires follow-up correction, or further conversations, and sometimes it requires an action-plan that we work on together. Rarely does it lead to an untenable disagreement in how things should be done (and you can guess where that leads). Also rarely, the expectations will be amended or more clearly expressed to everyone.

I do think getting their perspective is necessary to understand if the expectations were incorrect, or if my understanding of the incident was incorrect. But it is essential that the conversation always start with reiterating the expectations.
> Depends where you live. There's no reason the 175k employee can't live somewhere "bad" or suffer a long commute. Most major western european cities and their suburbs are by no means cheap to find housing in.

I don't think there are many "bad" places that are cheap around Silicon Valley.

Most western European cities have neighbourhoods that are drastically cheaper than the well-off ones.

> Most white collar Europeans with families own cars. Owning and operating a vehicle is astronomically cheaper in the US, even in California which has insanely high costs compared to the median or mean state.

New cars in America are twice as expensive as the average in the EU.

Average car insurance in America is five times as expensive as the average in the EU.

> Part of the free (at the point of use, obviously it's paid for by taxes) public school system in the US.

Sorry, I meant nursery.* Kindergarten is free in the EU as well.

> I don't want to have a healthcare debate but the cost was addressed higher up the thread and the difference in coverage between what American BigCo employees get and what Europeans get (and both those classes of insurance are diverse enough to make comparison impractical without sweeping generalizations) is not going to be meaningful except in the edge cases.

Well that's convenient. Based on the American medical debt lets go with a lesser coverage for the American workforce.
Also it's not taking into account the cost of opportunity of having medical insurance event when you won't be employed anymore in case of an accident or other reason.

Are you keeping tabs on the cost of the building and associated security? Video cameras, locks... Also the manpower needed to install and maintain that equipment.

Similarly, your 70*10tb tells nothing. What's the redundancy on that, how much of that space did you lose to it, where do you store your backups and at what cost?

As for networking, having those switches is nice, but you still need your internet connection if you're serving anything online from this.

To play devil's advocate... why should a publisher be forced to give away their content for free? It costs money to produce and serve content. Like it or not, advertising pays their bills.
With the scale of the recession in the rest of the economy, it's certain that we'll feel in in tech. Maybe less, in that it's easier for us to work and deliver value at at a distance. But perhaps more, in that a lot of what we do is an investment, and recessions aren't a great time to be investing. A lot of software's value is essentially in reducing the cost of labor to achieve some result. But with the unemployment rate going from historic lows of ~4% to somewhere around 20% [1], reducing labor costs is less urgent.

>If you don't like how the law works, well, don't live in the EU ? You can find a lot of countries where this is isn't a consideration, and that may suit you better. Otherwise, well, you've been pwned by democracy. Tough luck !

Democracy? The commission doesn't get elected. The commission is the one to create the laws. Furthermore, most of the voting in the Parliament is done by people not even in my own country. This means that they don't have to care about what I want at all, as my vote has zero effect on them. And if the EU keeps going the way it is then I'd definitely like to get out, because the only thing the EU does is legislate while the bloc's economy has been doing poorly.
You can bet that Uber is not counting them as employees, as they're still fighting over AB5.
you mean more than the 50% drop in uber’s market cap since feb?
Expected. Uber/Lyft will get through it but have to prepare for a though time ahead. I'm pretty optimistic that things will soon start getting back to normal, gradually of course. However, business travel (and personal) will take a while to recover. Companies already canceled all large events for the year. All academic conferences this year are remote, etc. Most tech employees were already told to keep working remotely until at least Sep/Oct. So even with very optimistic projections, things will start looking better for these companies only next year.

But in his thought experiment what you're trying to avoid is being massively disadvantaged by where you were born.

If you're born in Scandinavia you'll have very good education and healthcare no matter what family you're born into. Maybe starting a business is harder, so what? You can move to the US later in life if that's your goal, you'll still be better off by having no student debt.
Hopefully members on HN are smart enough to generalize my example to something that may be better or more suitable for their own website, and not just lazily copy-paste my example of a generic question. If you do, I'm not sure you pass the human test.
I do agree with your more general point but I think we shouldn't dismiss changes in usages of words over time. Aryan doesn't simply mean Iranian in a modern western context, just like the swastika isn't just a sign from Buddhism or Hinduism. Both have strong associations with one of the most defining wars of the 20th century and the genocidal regime that started said war. That can't be easily ignored.

I heard it sung by a Finnish choir and think it may have originated in Russia, from a Soviet movie. I love this stuff, and pairing the modern incarnations with their original counterparts is kind of a cool sport.
