> no real gains on consent, which is a big part of the regulatory effort and this specific case

Consent is regulated under the GDPR and the majority of consent banners/popups you see today are not compliant. For example, the regulation explicitly mandates that pre-ticked checkboxes are not compliant and that it must be as easy to accept than to decline.

According to the article, this fine is for a breach of the ePrivacy rules (which is the earlier - and somewhat stupid - "cookie law") which exclusively cares about cookies as opposed to the broader goal of the GDPR. On the plus side, enforcement of ePrivacy might suggest that we'll see enforcement of the GDPR too, and that's great news.

The are allowed to censor in good faith. That generally means that they need to follow their own guidelines, which does not appear to have happened in this case.
of course. I'm complaining about the practical implementations and the suggestion to just disable cookies.
I didn't even get it to launch by doing this. but I am a newb to this kind of thing. I am hoping the direct DL from GOG instead of from gog galaxy will work better for me and run proton in lutris with it.

It's been a while since I studied routing, but have they fixed BGP security?

I remember reading about the protocol and thinking something like: this seems awfully "hippie-trust" levels of security.

nope. proper and full implementation of BCP38, MANRS, full RPKI validation of all IP ranges and such is a long distance away.

within trusted groups of ISPs where the admins all know each other, in certain specific geographic regions, it's better than others.. I would say that the number of ISPs I could call "fully compliant" with current best practices, in the Portland-Seattle-Vancouver area, is higher than in many other parts of the world.
Sorry for the late reply but my point was more about user and developer experience (the end result of the system in place) vs the traditional sysadmin/poweruser view of packages among Linux users/distros where the security and interop details of systems matters more but is kind of in conflict (as a loose reference, think of the conflicing requirement origins of why shadow-IT exists).

Like as a user i don't really need to care if my Chrome browser uses a newer version of the V8 JS engine or libpng for security than for example my VS Code IDE (because that IDE instance isn't active on the hostile internet visiting "random" webpages).

Sure the browser will be more secure and if it was dynamically linked I'd get the benefits of having both upgraded at the same time, however it'd also require breaking changes to an cutting-edge program like Chrome/Chromium to bring all dependencies forward, maybe breaking programs like VSCode that aren't updated as frequently but has more or less the same dependencies. (Like in practice it seems like Ubuntu even uses a dummy Chromium package that just forwards the user to a snap package).

The way forward i think would be to bring some variant of sem-ver to the C/C++ world with a unified strategy to package management, but i don't have hopes of that ever happening.

There is sometimes specific information about the actual manufacturing process or synthesis that companies provide. Given that this is an entirely new vaccine technology that has never been used before, there was probably quite a bit of confidential manufacturing content supplied as supplemental material to satisfy regulators.

You are correct that the regulators are generally concerned with safety and efficacy of the final product, not the sausage making. But if the sausage making is super complex and/or novel that could potentially have an impact on safety and efficacy. So the company may have been asked to give some amount of detail there. For example: given this vaccine requires cold temperatures or it breaks down, how are they guaranteeing the cold chain in the manufacturing process? (I'm just using this as an illustration of the flavor of question someone on the committee might have)

Given how new this vaccine tech is, there are probably quite a few manufacturing-related efficiencies and techniques that Pfizer does not want competitors getting access to. Not because they're going to copy this specific vaccine, but because it allows them accelerate efforts in this area for other vaccines.

Going from zero to preclinical is about 1/3 of the costs of going from preclinical to phase 2. Phase 3 is not part of this study, neither is parallel production.
I doubt it. Last time I checked (~4 years ago), desalinization would cost huge amounts of money: it's not just energy cost, it's infrastructure cost.
Pop-ups being aggressive/undismissable is in breach of the GDPR, so given enough enforcement the problem will self-resolve. These fines are a great first step I'd say (though long overdue).

> When the UK was in the EU it had a much more pro-market, pro-EU expansion agenda.

Do you mean an anti-EU-expansion agenda? If so I totally agree: as someone who quite likes the EU but doesn't favour further integration, it was good to have the UK tempering any efforts in that direction.
I hope this makes the front page. I've personally been complaining about this problem for a couple years now and it's only getting worse.

Amazon is incentivized to release 100's of half baked services because an org only needs to use a couple of them and suddenly they find themselves unable to leave AWS. It's like a drug dealer offering free hits to get you hooked. There's little incentive to build new feature rich and comprehensive services or continue to improve the existing ones.

It also feels like Amazon's organization has structural problems. Some services are managed well, some are not. Some have a comprehensive vision, others are a hodge-podge of amazon services YOU have to glue together and manage yourself (see setting up Guard Duty email notifications as an example). Good luck if it doesn't work and the documentation is frequently outdated or incorrect. And then as the article points out there's the variations upon variations of an existing service and no clear reason why the functionality justifies separate products.

Don't even get me started on the console. At least it's not as bad as Google or Azure in my experience.

I've been asking the same questions for a long time. 100mbps was fine for me, and I upgraded to 200mbps last week (speed tests at 240/240 or so). I occasionally download games, and I run a webserver in my basement. My computing hasn't gotten meaningfully better, and I doubt it would with gigabit.
A lot of markets break the perfect market assumption. For example, monopolies shouldn't exist in theory but they do in reality. In theory a competitor can always jump in and destroy the monopoly.

Commodity markets are much closer to perfect markets than anything else.
> If you are fully signed up lover of the European project then it is probably good, but if you're leery of further integration then it is probably bad.

I wonder if further integration will give insight into the common claim that the integration of diverse cultures in the US emerges many kinds of challenges other more homogeneous nations face in a much more muted fashion. I'm not swayed by that claim standing alone, since with metrics compiled along linguistic rather than genetic diversity axes (arguably a larger determinant of culture influences) [1], the US ranks around middle of the pack among nations.

What I suspect is happening is a form of the Resource Curse. Take a large, economically powerful great power (US end of 19th century), add generous immigration and assimilation policies, turn it into a superpower (US post-WW2), and it is possible the ensuing mayhem scramble for financial dominance within that economic windfall vortex (the Resource) creates fault lines in society that find their expression in culture differences. Lots of cultures, lots of differences. I also suspect if it wasn't cultural differences, it would have been some other differences leveraged; the incentives are misaligned to find commonality.

If my suspicions are true, then China and EU would be prudent to decline ascending to a superpower role, multipolar world or not. If this is the real dynamic at work, then the superpower mantle is the ultimate appeal to a nation's people's vanity, containing a hidden poisoned chalice just like a Resource Curse. And would be better served by participating and "leading from below", charting a new direction in nation-state evolution. Some form like more open information sharing with less developed nations on what works but leaving them to their own devices unless they start destabilizing armed foreign adventures of their own, putting effort into a global tide lifting all boats through trade. Perhaps re-directing the centralizing destructive forces of extreme economic prosperity I suspect develop around a superpower into a wider, amortized net of network effects amortizing the prosperity into more internalized relationships into a diffuse commonwealth-style syndicate of powers, perhaps in turn re-directing to Big Hairy Problems like getting off planet. And the US and rest of G20 would be prudent to participate in such an evolution.

Is it weird that the FTC can sue for acquisitions that the FTC approved at the time?
don't use chrome won't scale. Stop saying that. The only thing that could make Google change would be a YouTube 2.0 that breaks Chrome in a dally basis using dark patterns
You don't just look at Instagram when you evaluate the acquisition, you look at Facebook also.

Facebook was huge, and Instagram didn't represent anything Facebook couldn't just build themselves, other than the growing user base. So there is your rationale, the behemoth shouldn't be completely free to consolidate users. Of course the details of how big is too big and so on are the hard part.

>It might be somewhat unique to ANIPLEX but I do see other anime sold this way.

The unique part of Aniplex isn't its Japanese prices, but rather its attempt at exporting its Japanese pricing to the US. Compare that 28-episode $300 Aniplex of America release to something like the Sentai's Shirobako release (24 episodes), which allegedly retails for $90 and is available on Sentai's own store for $45. And that's not even counting the fact that Shirobako is the better anime of the two.

While the mod is interesting and a way to get into monochrome photography, it should be noted that the mod has disadvantages. Mainly, you end up removing the microlenses. Which seems to cancel out any gains unfortunately.

IF they truly believe they have more to gain from the welfare state and big government they are mistaken. Maybe someone who need immediate help will benefit from the welfare state but the best long term plan is always self reliance and hard work, the goal should be to create a robust and free economy such that the individual is free from reliance on the government. This is the root of the conflict in the US now, democrats want to foster a system that increases reliance on the government and republicans want to reduce this reliance.
The bigger problem I have is building rapport.

I work with a lot of near-native speakers, where we can understand each other, but we never get to that lively back-and-forth that comes in an L1 (or a fully fluent L2).

It's not a question of relationships -- you can do that well with VERY little verbal. It's a question of nuanced, technical, back-and-forth. I can understand on a mile-high level that they used Python to build an ML system which can recognize whether something is or is not a hotdog, but we never get to the point of discussing finer points of algorithms, nuances of business models, or similar in-depth discussions.

Some of these folks have lived in an English-native country for years, but it's just not quite there yet.
I think that's not really an issue though is it? If you say "never charge me more than $100" they can a) ensure they never charge you more than $100 and b) work to optimize their own systems so that they cut you off as close to $100 as humanly possible. In the beginning they might eat some costs since it takes them a day to catch it, but they could work over time to bring that down. And it's not like it's costing GCP/AWS/Azure "sticker price" to provide their services.
> A fertility rate of 2.3 (the .3 accounting for child death and people who don't ever have kids) is replacement rate.

This is a good point which often gets overlooked in the heated debate of population explosion.

Coincidentally just a year or two ago Indian growth rate reached replacement levels[1]. As per the latest data (not sure if it's been reviewed/confirmed) it's now slightly below the replacement levels.

Also, if you notice, the southern states's growth rate is well below that of replacement level.

The well known documentary "Gangs of New York"[1]. More seriously, in early Rome fire brigades were often used as a tool to extort the compromised property from it's owner. Forgive me for quoting Wikipedia, but the article and quote is fairly well sourced[2]:

> The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Marcus Licinius Crassus. He took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, by creating his own brigade—500 men strong—which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire, if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground

There are also reports of firefighting gangs in the new york times before the advent of professional fire services in the U.S.[3]:

> Our reporters give an account of another incipient riot got up by firemen and runners last evening. For a time the brawl went on with great violence, and the rival factions or companies enjoyed the pleasure of trying to kill each other without let or hindrance, because—and here is the fact of main importance—"the Chief Engineer and his assistants had completely lost control of the men,"

The first professional fire brigades in the UK would leave your building to burn if you didn't have their particular company's mark on your building[4]:

> If a building was on fire, several brigades would attend as quickly as possible. The different brigades would use the fire marks to work out if a building was insured by their parent company. If they didn't see their specific fire mark attached to the building, they would leave the property to burn.

> As far as I can tell, Denmark does fairly well with privatized fire fighters. (And if memory serves right, the US, for mysterious reasons, has about twice as many firefighter per capita as other developed countries.)

Privatised fire fighters in Denmark are still beholden to the local municipality, which in my opinion is different enough from a privatised "user pays" fire service that they aren't hugely comparable.

The US is much less densely populated than Denmark and dealing with fires is a fairly time sensitive operation, I'd imagine that might explain part of the difference.

I got a recruiting email a while ago from Robinhood. They listed one metric: the number of times per day their typical user uses the app. That means they are optimizing for engagement. Just like how YouTube optimizing for engagement causes problems, so too will a trading platform.
As I understand it, some of the older fansubbers went "legit" as well (ADV, perhaps?). The basic distribution model is as you described, starting with an Amiga Video Toaster or other titler. Then, local anime clubs and other distributors would send them blank tapes, which the fansubber would dub with the latest episodes. Finally, people would send blank tapes to that distributor, who would dub a copy for them. After a few generations of this, the quality was quite bad in some cases.

Nice writeup, and congrats on the success with the sale. I especially liked your graphic on the 4 buckets someone can be in when they encounter your sales pitch. Very cleverly presented, and definitely puts into context how little it matters if you happen to pitch someone who isn't interested. The trick is exactly as you write, find out whether they're interested first, and then only move forward if they are. Move on if they aren't! No hard feelings and it has zero bearing on the value or worth of your product or offering.

Unfortunately, too many engineers project their own antisocial allergies onto the general population (myself included) and thus miss out on the greater business success that comes with being both a strong builder and capable seller.

Your points about provenance are valid, but regarding publishing, if you don't want contributions couldn't you maintain a -_private_ repo, and publish the assets as a static website?
