skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The key part is that it's defined based on the intent and outcome. The company has to demonstrate that each user made an intentional, fully informed, freely given opt-in choice - that they knew what they agreed to and wanted to agree. If users did not intentionally want to opt in to you doing X with their data, then you don't have a valid legal basis for processing no matter what they clicked, since whatever system you built apparently did not truly capture what the user wanted.

If a site wants to use data in ways that need consent (by the way, most reasonable uses don't need consent because 'legitimate need' applies - it's pretty much only things like "use all your private data for targeted advertising" and "share your private data with these 1000 trusted partners" that need consent) then it's the burden of the site to ensure that the options are presented in a clear, nonconfusing way, that users get fully informed, etc, and demonstrate to the data protection agency that whatever they implemented achieves these goals.

"Just highlighting the ‘no consent button’ after a massive set of options" most likely is not effective to that goal, and a data protection agency can easily verify that (run a study with 10 new users signing up for the site and fill out a questionairre of what they wanted to consent) so it should invite administrative action from the DPAs, with mandates to change the system and/or fines depending on the circumstances. It's just that they're not really bothering with random websites (yet?) since the majority of their work is on how the all the EU non-web businesses (e.g. retailer loyalty programs, phone providers, banks, etc) handle private data.
Maybe on San Francisco. Houston for example is opening right back up, grandma's health be damned. Traffic is heavy on i45 again. All those people are driving somewhere.
Well, that's true for where you live right now, which I assume it's the US. Many places around the world start reopening. US is probably 1-2 months behind, at least some states like NY and MA. But obv things won't go back to normal immediately.
Pieces of career advice by Hilary Mason: what you *need*, *want*, and *tolerate*
How about we all agree to set an attribute on these popups (like *[data-legal="gdpr-cookies"]) and let people have browser plugin to hide them? Or HTTP headers to accept them straight from the initial request?

Let's be honest, people don't read them they are just annoyed, devs who implement them feel bad about the experience.
I mean, all those economies of scale either result in lower prices (say meat packing and feed lots), or allow extra R&D to make the product better (say, image recognition in Google Photos).

Decentralization, redundancy, shock absorption is something you have to explicitly value and pay for (with lower quality and/or higher prices) and I don't think this is more than a niche preoccupation. Maybe this pandemic will change things, but do you really wanna bet against lower prices?
Don't forget the fake progress spinner that takes ~30 seconds to complete if you opt-out, but is instant of you just agree.

> any conclusions about HCQ

did you read this "A total of 1061 patients were included in this analysis (46.4% male, mean age 43.6 years – range 14–95 years). Good clinical outcome and virological cure were obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%). "

> l, this is not a controlled study,

You can retrospectively get the control data for same time frame. This won't br same as placebo but still good.

AND, death rate in france for closed cases is around - 15-25% .

Death rate with HCQ+AZ is 0.75%

Reducing labor costs will remain as urgent because companies have to deal with a very low demand. So they will layoff and automate.

It will accelerate automation.

What's needed is demand, the way for that to happen is for government to pay for things and to create jobs.

Answering one of your points is not "distracting the conversation".

Your claim was that one side is "Bay Area workers telling everyone to stay home". Answering it with "no actually this is not some kind of Bay Area tech only" phenomenon is completely legitimate. There is no rule that we should accept made up divisions between groups of people just because it suits you.

> There are many countries that have sane rules and the exposure rate is pretty damn low.

Sure, lets say German or Czech republic. The sane rules still involved closing stores, limiting amount of people in stores, closed schools, mandated hands sanitation upon entering stores. Mandated masks in public places or plexiglass between shoppers and sellers. Their hospitals also instantly limited non-covid related procedures and were underutilized and still are despite countries slowly opening. Both countries also had citizens who were fairly disciplined. Their top politicians did not claimed it is all hoax by opposing party to destroy the country.

Czech Republic reacted quite fast to first few sick people and mandated masks right away. Germany ramped up testing quickly and super high. They did contact tracing before virus spread.

> We need a leader that helps focus the message on what criteria is necessary to open and how to do it safely.

Maybe start by not forcing both-sides framework on everything. Or making strawman groups of Bay Area tech workers who are definitely only ones making America close.

Had there be elevated testing regime now, opening would be closer. Had there been faster reaction by the start of it all, the New York did not had to happen and America could be where Germany or Czech Republic is. And it does not seem to me that this state of things is both sides issue nor Bay Area techies issue.
This 100x.

Provider that gives me 1-5 check marks to make once (and where the default settings are "off"?) - trustworthy. Anything like Verizon properties which gives an intentionally bad UX with thousands of clicks, information overload, dark patterns where 'accept' = 'accept all' even when you unchecked some boxes.. all this tells me I don't want to support this site.

And gdpr does much more, I don't think Google and Facebook exports used to really be possible so easily.

> I wonder at what point we can spot the SMBHs/supernovae that had given rise to our own solar system

Likely never, if you mean an actual supernova remnant that released the enriched material into the interstellar medium. Partly because the formation of the Solar System requires that the enriched material mixes with the ambient gas and cools. That means the supernova remnant would most probably not be identifiable as a distinct entity. The other reason is that there almost certainly isn't a single supernovae that gave rise to the enriched material that formed the Sun and Solar System. The enrichment probably happened through multiple generations of star formation and supernova enrichment cycles.

Storage is usually a stripe of 10 disks in raidz2 + 2 spares. Then we do a nightly zfs send..

The internet connection for the hosting is 100mbps. The users share 1gbps of internet.

We pay only for hardware. Rent and utilities. And the internet connections. Everything else we can do it ourselves.

SpaceX's Starship SN4 prototype fires rocket engine for first time
This is somewhat true, but not entirely. You have to remember that FreeBSD and Linux share no common ancestors, and FreeBSD defines its ABI at the libc level, whereas Linux defines it at the syscall level. There are also subtle differences in how various internal kernel mechanisms work (such as flag definitions for calls). See linux_common_open() for an example of an "easy" straight mapping. https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/68a4c41e983228d54619...

This is true even between OSes that share a common ancestor. I was the maintainer of FreeBSD/alpha, and did the compat layer for OSF/1 / DEC UNIX / Tru64 starting with NetBSD's version and adding new calls, etc. The very easiest calls were the simple ones that both inherited from 4.3BSD or earlier (read, write). Medium were things that had diverged in different ways (stat, mmap), and for me the harder things were ABI handlers for the OSF/1 executable format (ecoff).

The hardest stuff was things at almost worked, except for maybe one flag was different, and it was hard to notice because an OSF/1 program would run for 5 minutes, and then coredump.
This is older analysis [1] but Uber is profitable on each ride in their biggest markets until you deduct the OPEX of the main co. The burn of sales, marketing, engineering, support, their rider safety team, the driver inspection and on boarding centers, leases, etc all continue on with or without riders.

I don't think anyone should be forced to service foreign nations. As a citizen of a non EU country, I'd take issue with being compelled to work with them.

EU would effectively be declaring war on a significant percentage of the world. They have no jurisdiction beyond their borders.

Taking your ball and going home, while not the best for business, should be an option.
I think Textile and its underlying protocols are a step forward that's actually shipping. But it looks a little like an IPFS take on Firestore, but correct me if I'm wrong. But maybe that's because I've been working on too much theory with a distributed protocol of my own for too long rather than getting my hands dirty, ha. Perfect is the enemy of good.

I got a Magic Keyboard for my iPad Pro 2018 and sent it back, now I'm thinking about selling the iPad to buy a Surface Go 2: kickstand included, WSL 2 when needed, keyboard with a function row.

My only worry is that the experience in tablet mode is gonna be subpar.
The base Surface Go 2 seems like an attractive option for those looking to do a bit of real computing alongside iPad-esque media consumption.
There are many ways governments already encourage or discourage certain behaviors, be it taxes, IP laws or other regulation. Right now they are written for the winners (big companies) but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Totally disagree with that. Humans are expensive. Cabling, configuring, training, ordering and replacing hardware, that all takes time. Over a period of 3 years, there's a high chance that you'll end up having, depending on your luck, at least a few dozen days used up by those tasks. Assuming you're not paying peanuts for your contractors, this will easily get to the $10k or over.
In terms of data retention it's actually amazing.

Measures & metrics of "grit" are, at best, not that great. It is a quality difficult to capture, and methods tend not to distinguish between projects a person chooses to undertake and those a person has no interest, believes are without value, yet is forced to undertake. I've used Duckworth's grit assessments, and not found the results to be particularly predictive of the outcomes I was trying to measure

Now, that said, "grit" is not always well understood. It's often considered a general-purpose quality. However, grit isn't necessarily about being good, or "gritty", at everything. It's much more about how you perform on something once you've chosen to do that thing. It is not about doing things that you don't believe have value to yourself.

The athlete that sleeps through class is a good example: That person didn't explicitly choose academics. Academic responsibilities were an unwanted side effect. It wasn't something the person ever really wanted.

Compare that with someone who chooses to go to college for academic reasons: Do they work hard? Stick to it? Persevere through problems? That is grit.
I’m not sure what it’s like in the US, but at least in the UK I understand that food delivery demand has plummeted.

I initially thought it would be higher due to people isolating and now shopping, but a lot of people now have less disposable income to spend on expensive food delivery. Also less availability (restaurants closing down)
Consent needs to be explicit or there's no consent. Otherwise, we'd be back in the days of putting a message on the site telling "by using our website you accept our ToS and need to give use your firstborn child".
For every position, there is a chance of a bad hire. PMs are no exception. Every productive employee has a chance of losing motivation and start underperforming. Again, PMs are no exception.

You organization needs ways to detect and "fix" situations caused by a person not living up to their role.

Balance of power between product and engineering is one of such circuit breakers.
In particular, Microsoft has been pushing a "modern" UI which has been a disaster. That is, UWP apps, Windows store, etc. Inevitably if there is a UWP app and a real Windows application, the real one is head and shoulders better.

You think Microsoft would have learned that "modern" has the stench of death.
I mean, you're not forced to service foreign nations. But if you are trading with foreign nations, then you've got to realize that that is fundamentally a voluntary relationship—trade doesn't exist by default, it is created by a spirit of mutual cooperation, on a foundation of compromise. If that spirit of cooperation and foundation of compromise don't exist, then the trade cannot exist.

Or, to put that another way: WIPO itself is something the US "forced" on the rest of the world. But it wasn't actually force; it was just a condition on other nations continuing to trade with the US.

There is a misconception that Uber loses money on every ride. If you look at their SEC filing, it's not how they actually work (I won't have time to do that search for you now but will try to edit my post later). TL;DR of their SEC filings:
They're not losing money on every ride, they just have such a high baseline of fixed costs (payroll being one) that they haven't started being profitable. Doing fewer rides right now is actually killing their profitability.
The choice to try and look younger is partly a function of inherent vanity and partly a function of pragmatic value.

Appearing more youthful improves outcomes in romance, socialization, and at work in both overt and subtle ways. The reason for this is quite simple: humans are wired to subconsciously respond positively to things (and especially people) that are visually appealing.

This latter motivation is what drives my thinking on the subject and the implications are perhaps even more consequential for people in the tech industry. Tech is a realm that preferences youth and (sadly) will likely continue to do so.

I had an epiphany some time ago when I encountered a 40 year old who looked about 25. What was striking was that people interacted with him AS IF he was 25. That demonstrated how surprisingly easy it is to short circuit the neural programming for assessing age (i.e. it seems predominantly visual).

I should also note that sunscreen isn't some fountain of youth. There are various factors that contribute to the presentation of visual age and the use of sunscreen. For example: loss of skin elasticity due to a slowdown in collagen production with increasing age.

And to address your last question: using sunscreen and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are not in any way mutually exclusive.
Just curious, what do you find hard about MVVM to debug?
Kill them with kindness.

You, a living person with a face, have to become more trusted to that individual person than the alternatives. Do not talk about the issue during this 'trust phase'. Only then can you approach that person about their erroneous ideas and thoughts. They then have to decide, freely, what to do. This can take years or weeks to accomplish. That's the summation of a lot of work on the subject.
The $999 Stand was a publicity stunt, to get people and outlets talking about Apple and maintain its apparent status as a "luxury brand" (which it's not, it's a consumer brand, albeit a slightly expensive one).

But if MSFT is going for the same thing with something that's actually meant to be useful like a dock, they're just being stupid. No one views MSFT as a luxury brand anyway.
I use both Qubes and SmartOS (like OpenIndiana, an illumos derivative) although not together. One advantage to using OpenIndiana directly on the laptop -- and I've not tried this, maybe it's too much pain -- would be you should get much more memory efficiency out of zones than you do out of QubesOS. Qubes relies on a type 1 hypervisor (Xen) so it is not nearly as efficient at reclaiming memory as an illumos/Solaris derivative, since Solaris zones are OS level virtualization (they are not under the illusion they have a whole machine to themselves so they are handling memory as flexibly, pretty much, as an application process). Qubes is notoriously memory hungry which can be an issue, especially on an ultralight laptop (the ThinkPad X1 for example still tops out at 16GB RAM which can actually be a little tight for Qubes). (There does seem to be some degree of memory reclamation which I assume is due to hosted OSes and maybe Xen itself evolving over time to respond intelligently to frequent changes in "installed" ram.)

The downside I imagine would be 1> you don't get Qubes' security measures of isolating USB and the network stack into their own VMs, away from dom0 and 2> from what I gather there just isn't the same extent of specialized plumbing in OpenIndiana for a single user trying to do work across vms/zones - qubes has for example a little menu to redirect arbitrary usb devices into particular qubes, there is a gui flow for moving files securely between zones with explicit dom0 prompts/approval, there is a secure system for moving clipboards between vms, etc.

GDPR doesn't prevent a publisher charging for content, or displaying ads. What it says is, if you want to use personal data about a user to determine what ads to display, you have to get their explicit consent.

I have noticed a few of the consent pop ups couching the choice explicitly in this manner. If you don't grant consent to us/our 3rd parties tracking you we will still show you ads, they will just be less relevant.

Advertising doesn't actually require the detailed level of tracking that is used today. Physical newspapers survived with a much more limited set of data when convincing advertisers to place ads.
