I would much rather deploy onto my infrastructure with one click and pay you a few dollars a month than have to set things up myself.
For starters, it simply means that if declining consent is harder/more annoying than accepting then it's already in breach, regardless of anything else.

If your website takes 1 click to accept tracking but several clicks to deny it then you're already in breach (assuming the law was actually enforced, which it isn't at the moment).
Isn't the racial intent a bit presumptuous at this point?
Why do you feel guilty? You need to explore that feeling if you want to rid yourself of it, and you should rid yourself of it. You can't change the past.

I do identify with that feeling, however. I was never a great student.

Before university I had poor grades and only took standard level courses. I frequently didn't even complete assignments. I spent most of my time being a computer nerd. I was accepted into a great university solely due to my "impressive" extracurricular experience: running computer nerd clubs at school, programming for fun, tech internships.

In university I had little trouble doing well in CS courses. In the beginning, they were easy to pass without even trying. In the later years, the CS courses were hard, but I enjoyed them. They actually gave us a considerable amount of freedom to direct our own study.

My non-CS courses were a different matter - I nearly failed two my first semester. It was harder to coast at uni, so it forced me to become a decent student. I graduated with a 3.5, which was much better than I ever could have imagined.

But really, the important takeaway is that I hate school in general and I always will. I have known this innately since I was a child, forced to sit in a chair indoors when I wanted to be outside in the woods. I love learning, but I don't like being told what I should learn, and what I should do, and especially what hoops somebody else wants me to jump through. I don't care if I am failing/succeeding to measure up to anything but my own criteria. That is my true personality, and I think I am fine to be that way, so I don't feel guilty, or harbor regrets about my past school performance. It took me some years to accept myself in this way, and I hope you will be able to as well eventually.
Very nice observation
Hi, I'm the dev!

This is a great point, and you're not wrong. This was a pretty unique case where I had a really clear idea in my head of what this would require from the get-go, and it was also meant to be a pretty quick, experimental little project. It seems to have struck a chord with some folks, so now I get to find out if my off-the-cuff approach is going to come back to haunt me soon.

As for SwiftUI, I think it'll be a slow and steady process for most of us. I've been a UIKit developer for the better part of a decade now, so I still feel most comfortable in that domain, but I think most folks acknowledge SwiftUI is the future. Although it's still a bit immature, I'm hoping to start shipping bits of SwiftUI here and there soon.
Where's the violence though? Or are they applying the stereotypical western misunderstanding of jihad = violence/terrorism?

That's true. But, by what plausible mechanism could this project switch from killing one species of mosquito to killing all of them?

There's no way it would happen via natural selection. The mosquito is engineered to die. The project has to keep releasing new genetically engineered mosquitos to mate with females.

I totally get the idea that removing all mosquitos would likely lead to spiralling ecosystem collapse, and it's possible that even killing this one species could do so.

But, are you arguing that trying to kill this one species could kill all mosquito species? I just don't see how that's possible with this mechanism.
I don't think anyone outside Google knows the exact details, but GMail clearly calculates a global reputation score for each sender that is influenced by what percentage of recipients mark its messages as spam. Then there's some additional weighting on top of that based on your personal actions.

Additionally most reputable email senders have a "feedback loop" set up with Google, Hotmail, and Yahoo where clicking that Report Spam button actually passes your email address back to the sender's email system. For example if you click Report Spam on one of our email newsletters in GMail, we will flag your record in our database and not send you any more messages even if you specifically sign up for a newsletter in the future. (Please don't test this.)
Your first claim is that the entire event is community self-defense, and your last claim is that police agents are responsible for the unrest.
I couldn't agree more with you on most of these points. You may be interested in trying out Shipyard (www.shipyardapp.com). Fair disclosure, I'm the co-founder. While we don't address all of these issues, we're building with these key focuses.

- Simplicity is key. Data Teams should focus on creating solutions, not fighting infrastructure and limitations.
- Workflows shouldn't change how code is written. Your code should run the same locally as on our platform, with no extra packages or proprietary setup files required.
- Templates are a first-class object. The modern data pipeline should be built with repeatability in mind.
- Data solutions should be usable and visible beyond the walls of technical teams.

We're in a private beta and rapidly trying to improve the product. I would love to chat more if you're interested. Details in profile.

For your specific problems:

1) We're cloud-native and handle hosting/scaling on our side. You don't have to worry about setup. Just log in and launch your code.

2) Our UI is pretty slick (built in AntD) and built to reduce the overwhelming options when setting jobs up.

3) If you want to run a job on-demand, just press "Run now". If you schedule a job, then change the schedule or status, we'll automatically add/update/remove the schedules. Other technical defaults aren't options right now because we're trying to abstract those choices away so Data Teams can just focus on building solutions that work.

4) We let you group your scripts into "Projects" (essentially folders) with a high level overview of the quantity of jobs, as well as how many recently failed or succeeded.

5) Workflows get made directly in the UI. This makes it easier for any less technical users to set up jobs on their own. We still have a lot of improvement to go in this area though.

6) Our product is written in Go (the language of the cloud). We don't force the worker to be in a language and managed by a process in that language. We manage at the process level.

7) Every job creates a new container on the fly, installing package dependencies that the user specifies. You can connect your scripts together without worrying about conflicting packages, conflicting language versions, or without needing to know how to make and manage Docker containers.

8) Not sure how we compare on the logging front. However, we separate out logs for each time a script runs so you're not having to search for a needle in a haystack. You can filter and search for specific logs in the UI.
By that definition, literally everybody in real life is stalking me just by seeing what I look like. That's not a terribly useful or reasonable distinction.

Unclear what your point is. Oftentimes no law is preferable to bad law, given what’s at risk and a lack of compromise. Examples of this being “sufficient” are plentiful in any society where the people have a strong representation.

Because the people who run Reddit have said many, many times that as long as moderators enforce the site-wide rules, that mods (and users to an extent) have the freedom to run the subs however they see fit, post whatever they wish, and yes, by golly, call people by terms dubbed by some as "hate speech"
> But if you're on the other side of the transgender debate

Then you follow twitter's rules on its platform. You're free to misgender people elsewhere.

Moderation, even moderation and policies you personally disagree with does not rise to the level of "editorial control" under the law.

> While hundreds of people are inciting violence and using Twitter to organize violence in Minneapolis, the company has done nothing to stop it, and yet they're willing to block Trump's tweet on the theoretical enforcement of laws against criminal rioting?

Are you certain that no tweets from protestors glorifying violence have been removed? Notably, none of the tweets you mention are condoning violence, so you're actually insisting that twitter hold $random_internet_people_on_the_whole to a higher standard than the president.

You want twitter to take "Bring milk to a protest" more seriously than "when the looting starts, the shooting starts". That's not Twitter's bias showing, that's yours. Under this interpretation, I believe twitter would also have needed to remove tweets organizing the recent Hong Kong protests. Is that what you want?
>You base that on what exactly?

Just about every other editorial on right leaning outlets that complain and moan about political correctness?

Oh, and actual self-identified right leaning HN/Redit users. Just ask, many of them will be quick to tell you (some version of) "political correctness is BS".

(To be clear, I know not all right-leaning people think this way, but a very large proportion do).

Just so I'm clear, are you arguing that avoiding political correctness is not a core tenet of a large part of the conservative base? I thought it was a badge of honor for many?
It's a regular feature in NL. You can even do arbitrage. Buy extra vacation days, save some of the days you regularly get in excess of the legal limit (the legal days expire in 18 months, those above in 60 months). Sell those at a later date for your then current income. Beats saving.

Edit: thanks, spelling
> Unfortunately, both you, the media, and the looters keep forgetting the events are, as you said, history.

But history can be important. Literally everything that's known and has been done is now history, including recently committed crimes.

The history that we're talking about still has clearly identifiable painful consequences in present-day communities, so it's not something that can just be filed away and ignored as no longer relevant.

You ever watch how the police behave in some cities when there's looting and rioting because their team won a football or hockey championship. Because that absolutely proves that looting and rioting apparently don't have to lead to police action. They can stand by, or join the celebrations.

Maybe Trump should stop quoting racist violent people.
The business model of Google isn't a failed business model.

What the GDPR does do, quite successfully, is build a moat around Google so wide and deep as to minimize competition with them, because they're one of the few firms that can both (a) afford the engineers with the technical expertise to comply with the law while accomplishing their goals and (b) afford the lawyers to address the issue when they fail at the former.

Is this true? I recall looking into this and finding that swallows, bats, and other "mosquito predators" don't put a dent in mosquito populations (mosquitoes are numerous and only account for a negligible percentage of these predators' diets).
Until it happens again, and again, and again, and again....
And then you have devices like the seemingly-cool Sonos One, that has two different internal volume levels, one for Alexa, and one for the music, and they're wildly different. And there doesn't appear to be any way to normalize them. Maybe you could use this to hack it by adjusting volume levels immediately before and after any music is played.
If you have two solutions and the first solution requires humans behave in a certain manner (getting them to use high entropy passwords) and the second does not. The second is more secure.
Umm, for one thing because going into lockdown wouldn’t do anything to prevent death by mosquito?

You do know that mosquitoes have wings and can move from place to place without humans right?

More often communities fail because most of the members are just thinking about extracting the value out of it. You reverse that thinking & carefully choose to bring only those members who can add value, that way everyone walks away with 10x the value than they walked in with.

Absolutely, given the current lack of enforcement. However, if you're going to be in breach, you might as well improve UX and not bother with the whole "consent management" thing, not to mention that the TrustArc garbage solution doesn't seem cheap.
I love this! Is there a larger technologist wiki from which you can learn the principles of how to actually build everything from raw materials and generic tools?

Examples: casting iron, making blades, making paint, making plastics, making printer ink, making pharmaceuticals that actually work, etc.

It really seems that at this stage in the game we should be able to form "off-grid" villages that actually have a pretty good standard of living. Or is that all forbidden knowledge in this stage of our technological enslavation? ;)

If you only have one printer CUPS doesn't do much. If you have hundreds of printers it starts to make sense.

This used to be the case but ever since Twitter decided to stop being Twitter this has gone too.
We did already do that. It was called spraying DDT everywhere.
I think the reason why these situations boil down to "for-or-against" is because people craft narratives about these measures/changes to law. If the narratives are pushed hard enough then they end up overpowering nuanced discussion.

"If you don't agree with GDPR then you must want to steal my data". It's difficult to make nuanced arguments against it when you get shouted down by statements like that. These narratives are used to label someone and it seems to be common in modern politics.

Robbery, pickpocketing, car stolen: poor person might lose the majority of their net worth, not be able to get to their job and get fired, probably not be able to replace certain things, etc. potentially spiraling into much worse. Not to mention the effects on your feeling of security.

Wage theft: didn't get paid for doing something before clocking in or got their hours messed with or whatever, which is also very bad of course, but more spread out and not as directly disastrous as the other scenario even if the total numbers might be higher.

So no, it's not tone deaf if you look past your knee-jerk reaction, it's just a well-reasoned justification why someone might be more mad about thieves than wage theft. It's not unreasonable to have the view that one murder is worse than a trillion people stubbing their toes once a week for a year even if the second scenario might add up to a higher score if you added it up by some quantifiable ethical metric.

Where I live we're concurrently experiencing, besides COVID19, a dengue fever outbreak. Dengue fever is spread by mosquitoes -- specifically, Aedes Aegypti.

Dengue is way more serious than COVID19. Particularly worrisome, having had dengue makes subsequent reinfections more life-threatening, not less.

There are ways to eradicate the mosquito -- mainly getting rid of small clear water containers near/within your home, such as vases and empty plant pots -- but we still don't do it until it's too late and becomes a problem. A single neighbor who doesn't do this endangers the whole block. And the authorities don't give a fuck. It's infuriating, really.

So to rephrase your question, why don't we do something about it? It's way more actionable than COVID19 (though lockdowns don't work for the reasons others told you). So who knows?

I'd like to say, as well, that this is a statement of fact that can be observed by looking at media coverage, testimonial, historical and fictional books on the topic of the black experience in america.

I don’t agree with this mentality of taking it elsewhere. Essentially what you’re saying here is we should segregate social media based on political viewpoints. This, I feel, is a very dangerous precedent to set. Regardless of what side you’re on do you want to live in an echo chamber?

As for forcing, agree to disagree then. Putting the link on a tweet and then linking to essentially an opinion piece is the definition of fake news. Ignoring the link meaning potentially missing an actual valid point. Ignorance is also dangerous. Why can’t they just take Facebooks stance and stay out of it entirely?

Depends on what's being done with those resources.

Example 1 - Drumming up support for a war with Iran. No it's not correct to direct resources to where they are most effective. (According to me.)

Example 2 - Trying to get homeless people in SF back on their feet. Yes, direct resources where they are most effective. (Again, according to me.)

But in example 1 if we ask the same question to a war hawk in congress, they'll give you the exact opposite answer. In example 2 if you ask Ayn Rand, again you'll get a different answer.

No one is objectively right or wrong in any of these cases.
