Yes. It is freedom. I'll take a few popups over the worst excesses of big tech privacy invasion, rent-seeking and monopolistic practices.
No it was not a coincidence as testified by Eric in his interview with the University of Washington business school.

He actually comes across a mix of interesting and unpleasant in this interview. It takes me back to the nineties when he and St. John were routinely pissing off people including myself.

But in the end people are complicated.

Well, this is exactly the thing that's illegal under GDPR. Don't blame the regulator if websites are blatantly not complying with the law.

I agree. Spain did this with river toxic waste. Companies found that it was cheaper to leak everything into the river and pay the fine than to fix the problem. Then the law was changed, if you pollute the river you need to shut down until is fixed. That works. Rivers health improved by a lot.
It's nice that your experience was great.

Yes, that's what regulations do, and it is for the _benefit_ of the citizens.

Unlike most people I’m comfortable actually reading contacts, but I’m self-aware enough to know that I probably misunderstand those contracts without even being able to identify which parts I am wrong about. The reason is simple symmetry: most people without computer science degrees make basic mistakes about computers, and I don’t have a law degree.

That’s has to be so weird to hear your name in shows/movies.
You can see it; under stress markets fail to clear because the actors stop acting rationally. This leaves market participants holding assets that in theory they should have been able to offload. This is because free market theory depends on rational actors working without friction and with perfect information. In reality the actors are irrational, the process has friction and information is horded and distributed unequally with noise.

This is a great and interesting thread. But I believe nobody discussed here the opposite and postivie effects of this kind of golbal outages. There are funny calculations for example of having less spam mail open-clciks or things like that. So think in such massive otuage of millions of users and auatomated process what means in term to generate less CPU, RAM, I/O and as consecuence less Power/Cooling >> less CO2 and pollution...

Reading the e-mail from above, it would seem more likely that the request to remove head- and footnotes wasn't followed, or at least not with the care necessary to remove most infringing content. Alternatively, they could allege some sort of TOS violation. Even if the scraping was done by a third party, Ross probably has an account with them and would be bound by their terms.

There is no "database" copyright in the US. (The EU has it, among others). So they couldn't assert copyright on the raw "collection". If they are smart/devious, they may have modified these documents in such a way that it does not change the legal meaning, but clears the barrier for a derivative work. Adding cartoons would be my idea, but it's too easy to remove. Adding some fancy formatting might do the trick, or changing the citation style.
There's an old saying that goes something like there are countless way to fail, but only a few ways to succeed. Perhaps there's more complexity in modeling failure?

Yes, because in a large organisation where your internal services are just "out there" for other teams to use, and you might not personally know the people who are using your service, you basically need to protect yourself/your service as much as you would for any external service. It also helps your service know how much it needs to scale and size itself if a team gets in touch and says "Hey we are making Service X - the default your service offers is 100 QPS but we think we will need 1000 QPS - can you support that?".

In a small org where you know/roughly-know who is doing stuff then it is probably less of a concern as you can go walk over to their desk and have a chat about what they are doing or let them know they're sending too much traffic etc. This is harder to do with an org with 10s of thousands of engineers spread across the globe and in different timezones - you might suddenly get huge amounts of traffic at 3am from a team on the other side of the planet who just launched a feature you had zero idea about, and they're hammering you with 100x the QPS you usually get.
That's the beauty of it being an EU-level regulation: each national party can plausibly deny being "the party that got Facebook banned", and pretends it's "because of those technocrats in Brussels."

That being said, of course Google and FB are never going to be banned in the EU. They'll lobby to death to get the regulation to be "reasonable", and they'll mostly comply because they want their part of the advertising market, and they'll pay the fines when they get caught.
Anti-prescriptivists are a myth. Sure, there are people who are deluded enough to think that they are “descriptivists” through and through, they may even shroud their prescriptivism with relativistic jargon, but the actions speak more than words. I have never seen a human who doesn’t think that some words and grammar constructions are appropriate and some are not.
That's amusing on one level, but I do know that many struggle to create a caloric deficit, and some foods do seem to make it easier to feel full with less.
I've never worked more than 10:30-5:30pm in a full-time job in this industry, and of those hours I'd say the real "work" part has generally never exceeded 4 hours/day. I don't even think it's really possible to do more than 4 hours/day of deeply focused, productive coding.

The job is not really stressful because at the end of the day, it's just software. Unless you're working on life-critical medical stuff or something, if the site goes down, nobody dies. Also I've never had an on-call job.

Name me an industry that pays more with less work and less stress.
The law doesn't apply to them.
Spotify has illustrated that they have no qualms themselves in abusing their market power to subvert the fairness/freeness of markets - they're currently pouring massive amounts of resources into an attempt to force themselves into the role of podcasting-gatekeeper. Hope that the EU looks into their own actions as well.

Theoretically yes, most of the time has nothing to do with locals. Local reservations were kicked away after fighting with government forces and interests affiliated with the respective government.
If they had to give a larger payoff to the government party to save their land they would need a bit more than 1k.
Locals can simply not create an economy of scale to support sustainably and consistently the palm oil conglomerates, we are talking deforestation the size of countries.
I had a year or two of chronic lower back pain and thought it was just the price of getting older (also mid 40s) and living a largely sedentary life. Then I started taking a Vitamin D supplement for a totally unrelated reason (mood, basically) and my back pain disappeared! I was extremely surprised (and happy!).

I agree with you but that wasn't the issue here. According to the blog post they are insured to cover the litigation cost and will continue to pursue it.

The problem is that they need more funding t operate and no-one will touch them with the litigation hanging over them.

So the issue isn't so much the cost of litigating. It's the potential cost of losing.

That is not a common scenario, most people in the world get an ONT with an integrated ONU. For example Huawei HG8245Q2. So in your case obviously you can just plug in any router. But a lot of people get it all in one device. And most ISPs don't let you choose what CPE you get.

I don’t think that was originally the case, I think that’s something campaigners managed to get later.

I think VATMOSS happened because big companies chose to operate from whichever EU country had the lowest VAT rate, and charged all sales at that VAT rate, which would explain why it happened. But I’m not a lawyer and I wasn’t doing B2C self employment at the time of the change, so don’t take my word for it.
Do you eat any carbs? Potatoes, rice?. How did they affect the sensor
Commenters here as well as the author seem content with asserting that under C semantics, the code after the second optimization exhibits UB when it dereferences (p+1). Is it really UB?

Here's the snippet for reference:

char p[1], q[1] = {0};
uintptr_t ip = (uintptr_t)(p+1);
uintptr_t iq = (uintptr_t)q;
if (iq == ip) {
*(p+1) = 10; // <- This line changed
print(q[0]);
}

From the article: "LLVM IR (just like C) does not permit memory accesses through one-past-the-end pointers." I think this is a mental shortcut we make that can lead us astray here. Of course, one-past-the-end pointers can't usually be dereferenced legally. But I think it's legal here because when (iq == ip), (p+1) points to a valid location. I don't see (at least in the C99 standard) why this code would be illegal.

I realize that the code is not meant to represent C but rather LLVM IR, but surely, if this snippet is legal C code, then LLVM can't treat it as if it were UB? So that would mean the third optimization is incorrect here.

Don’t get me wrong, 180g is no problem for me, I can even over-indulge and go for more, but that insures feeling disgusting afterwards (in that sense 180g seems like a pretty good delineator between large but possible and too much).

Currently I’m losing weight (very necessary) so I’m hyper-aware of portion size and while the first couple of weeks 125g portions felt unimaginably small I think I got used to them and they don’t leave me back empty anymore. But, yeah, not as filling as something with much more vegetables and, say, tofu and some rice.

Some versions of Tylenol have codeine in them as well.

The whole article is the comment.

You're suggesting there exists someone who might read this interesting morsel of history and walk away, convinced by the excerpts, with anti-pasta views accompanied by a superstition that has them avoiding Italian cuisine on their first date unless warned otherwise.

Seems quite far-fetched. Though who are we to stop such a gentleman from sparing a woman some indigestion after reading a 1930s dating tip?
There are a lot of unexpected side effects lurking in those sort of decisions. For example Apple developed Pages, Numbers and Keynote because nobody else was able to compete against Microsoft. It's hard to see the computing environment would be better off without those products.

You can argue that someone else would fill that gap but they didn't really seem to be doing that before Apple stepped in. In fact I would guess that Apple would have preferred not to have developed them, it's not as if they generate any direct revenue.

Couldn't agree more. Though I've taken only a single night train in my life: from Beijing to Xi'an.

While slightly pricier than flying, I had a bed and could freely move around the cabin. To top it off - anecdotally, though intuitively it holds - those who travel by train are less stressed than those travelling by plane, and therefore friendlier and open to conversation.

A great experience overall. I hope to do more of this in Europe.
