I don't disagree with you. I was at an adtech startup, and I had bright lines — no payday loans or for-profit education. Luckily we never needed to blur or cross those lines, but as our business evolved, the way I delivered my — and my colleagues delivered their— preferences was not through laying down ultimatums but by having conversations.

Some people seem intent on creating drama and casting things not as their preferences but as Epic Struggles Between Good and Evil, where people who don't share their preferences are Evil. These people may not be offended by this characterization!

Life is complicated. I re-watched Schindler's List the other day, and assuming for a moment it's historically accurate, one could argue that by laboring in the factory, the workers were aiding the war effort and trading their own temporary safety for the lives of the people who would be victims of a Nazi war machine fed out of the factory's enamel pots. If someone were to actually argue that, I would just sort of stare at them like there were insane, despite not knowing how to rebut the argument except by blurting our words like "nuance" and "perspective" and "balance."

> But how can the virus stay alive while killing its hosts so vehemently?

Comparing a company to a host and the employees that create its wealth to a virus is illogical even for the most ardent capitalist. Isn't the capitalist idea that everyone, be it the employer or the worker, do their utmost to maximise their market value and use it to the best of their ability to their own advantage? Even the ancien régime realised that they need the people to actually make their food and that the people aren't some sort of parasite on the aristocracy. I don't even know what to call your view.
See Eastern Europe, 1917-1989. It will kill the infected countries as well, but it will take a few generations for the whole enterprise to utterly collapse.
Yeah, since I've moved away from an AZERTY to a QWERTY I cannot imagine ever reverting back, but on the other hand this means no accent is directly accessible.

As of right now I'm on a mac and I feel very comfortable with the way they've designed input for "roman accented" letters (using the option key, or for some using long presses) but it's a whole other thing once I see a Windows computer.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8478 I'm unfamiliar with the IETF process and whether or not browsers support zstd compression yet.
The laws (GDPR and the so called "cookie law") do not say anything about cookies specifically, so tracking users in other ways that still identify them similarly while not being necessary would still require the banner and consent.
Not Robinhood on the other end of the transaction, but yes.

If you and someone else both mashed SELL at the exact same instant, they'd get $48 for their stock and you'd get $47.99 and your confirmation screens would both say "we sold your stock at the highest price we could find".

In exchange for sending their customers to a place where they'd only get $47.99 instead of $48, Robinhood received direct cash payments.
When you're talking about niche interests IME facebook just plain isn't good enough. You have to go to old-school forums, and from there word-of-mouth of the regulars of these forums.
>Lets say my time is billed at about $50/month, which is low for a software engineer. Now lets say a Linux desktop/laptop requires 5 hours of system admin time per month to troubleshoot drivers, upgrades, etc. That means a Linux desktop/laptop costs $250/month. For that price I could buy a new Mac every 10-12 months. I have a Mac right now and spend less than 30 minutes per month futzing around with it, so it's far cheaper.

Or you can just buy from a GNU and/or Linux vendor that supports their own hardware and distro and get the same benefits. (System76, Purism, etc)

>Telling busier, poorer, or older people with families they should set up their own servers or run their own Linux systems is sort of a "why do they not eat cake?" attitude.

Why? When it comes to servers the actual alternative there is either telling them to buy a Windows server, or start paying cloud providers, neither of which really have a lower money/time investment in all cases when you get into it. This is assuming that the reason someone wants to have their own server is to have a home business. (And if you're on the cloud there's a good chance you'll end up running Linux there anyway)
It's a great book for emphasizing the importance of sleep. The author's desired outcome is to get people interested in healthy sleep habits, and he hits a home run in that regard.

However, take some of the science positions in the book with a grain of salt. The author is notorious for being directionally correct in his opinions, but exaggerating a lot of the science for dramatic effect. This doesn't matter at all if you're reading the book to convince yourself to build better sleep habits, of course.

However, it does seem to leave some people with exaggerated worries or anxiety about dying early or developing serious disease conditions if they've ever gone through periods of life with short sleep (college, raising kids, video game addiction) or if they're in a life situation that limits their sleep. In that regard, it's worth noting that the author is really stretching some of the studies and cherry-picking results to support his argument. Getting 6 hours per sleep at night will not be the death of you, despite what the book suggests.

It's also commonly known that people get less sleep than they think they do. Someone might tell you they get 8 hours of sleep each night because they try to sleep from 11PM to 7AM, but in reality they stretch their bed time to midnight more often than not and then read their phone in bed for 15-30 minutes. Sleep advocates try to compensate by exaggerating target sleep times for adults to 8 hours. In reality, 7-ish hours of sleep appears to be just fine for most adults, with some requiring less and others requiring more. That said, most people will have to target 8 hours of dedicated bed time to really get those 7 hours of sleep in practice, hence the common exaggerations.
Is it? I would really like a reference for that claim.

Maybe you're confusing the free time that developers have because of their corporate jobs to create FOSS, but this is not the same as directly writing and paying for FOSS by corporations.

This gets complicated because are you talking about volume of code created or are you weighing code by its use? Anyway, you might be right, I don't know, but my assumption is that FOSS is mostly developed in spite of lack of corporate resources, not because of it.
A lot of people have the misconception that the EU cookie law applies to all cookies, but as the blog post correctly points out, that just isn't the case.
So light pollution is okay if it's cool?

A lot of people love neon lights. Does that make neon lights an acceptable source of light pollution?
Have they found some alternative to cookies?

Some of your Frequently Asked Question's Answers below:

Why do i use mobile photos for editing
- The purpose of using mobile photos is straight that i want you guys to know that we can also manipulate mobile photos and give them high end photo touch but i also know that this is not the good thing to use mobile images in production work, the intention was just to let you know production work is also possible using mobile click images.

And listen, this is important that i don't have a DSLR camera to shoot images. lol.

I show images using directly from the google sites, is there any copyright issues doing that
- Ah, i thought of this but really don't know that if i face any copyright issues in future but until today, i have no copyrights on my channel related to using images and all that stuff. But i don't recommend doing that.

Do i know what i'm going to make

I’m working on an open source search alternative to Algolia, called Typesense [1], with a hosted SaaS option [2]. So our business model is very similar to Plausible.

re: OSS licensing, we use GPL and have been very hesitant about using something like AGPL. I’ve personally seen developers not use projects only because they’re AGPL. Even GPL seems to scare some developers.

Question for HN: have you recently wanted to use an OSS project in your stack and then stayed away from using it only because of its license?

If so, what license was it and what about the license prevented you from using it?

Cognitive dissonance towards social agreement (team player). This is a natural form of clustering for many individuals but it is non-cognitively magnified as the perceived distance of impersonal communication distance between people drops. For persons who do not seek social agreement there is no greater or lesser trust, but rather an equilibrium of mild doubt and criticality.
No, they just don't use any non-essential cookies.
Do they? It seems like they're just giving people what they want.
No one was expecting so many issues with the game, especially after several delays.
Maybe? I feel like most of the countries at the top present tech levels could not really absorb the kinds of infantry and mechanized losses that would ensue if they tried to have an actual ground war. Guided rocket artillery, cruise missiles, airstrikes, etc. seem capable of killing infantry in numbers that would not be politically acceptable. This is to say nothing of the losses that could be inflicted with strategic weaponry (either nuclear or non-nuclear) in a total war. This is part of why I don't expect any future direct wars between world powers.
They don't end, she was free to make her statements. Google was free to exit her for doing so.
"Find a new job" is equivalent to "move to a different country". It's a bullshit response that implies that a certain group should be allowed to do something controversial.

If you're going to exercise exceptional infringement on someone then you should be able to offer a solid rationale.

And, in a way, this is the standard by the fact that they are not required to show the banner if no non-essential cookies are being used :)
If they've gotten rid of 3rd party analytics, does this mean they're just using their own? Presumably session cookies count as "required", and could be used to track your actions at least on github.com.
That's why there will be the super handy "Opt In" tag on these notifications so people who like tracking can get the benefits!

Meanwhile, the rest of the planet who are unaware they are being tracked or can't figure out how to disable it will be clear of much tracking.
Yeah that's the issue, it requires a ton of resources. You can use pre baked tilesets but I could only find pretty expensive options for that.
That could still be targeting manufacturers of products for those three categories.
It’s in a cathartic state, which basically means a concentration of undirected energy. We’re riling ourselves up over unarticulated core feelings. We have a sense of a slipping middle class (sustainability of quality of life, or inequality or social injustice (on both the right and left), and the demagogues like AOC and Trump are the closest thing to a conduit, or worse, a gutter, for the underlying emotion. None of the topics I just mentioned are partisan, they are real for everyone in America, some demagogues monopolize the championing of certain things over others (trump with sustainability, AOC with injustice and inequality).

Are we going to build the wall or rethink immigration policy (trump)? Are we going to defund the police or codify citizen rights and codify accountability in police departments (AOC).

Every or is not what these conduits are sincere about, and since they are accurate but non-action based avatars of our subconscious expression (in the purest sense, a literal cinematic actor), they are pure performance. Nonetheless, the underlying need to yell at the political attrition the US has been in is real. We all feel that.

Is there value in the performance? Certainly. But life’s not a movie, and this is where we’re stuck. By turning to demagogues we basically say ‘find me a Joaquin pheonix or a Daniel Day Lewis and have them portray this emotion’. That’s fine, for the movie, but the actors are not gonna do it for next part of this.

All humans will exhaust their catharsis, the yelling into the void, and finally seek a path forward. It’s a waiting game at this point.
Studies suggest it might be neutral or even protective in Alzheimer's: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20182054/

> In the CAIDE study, coffee drinking of 3-5 cups per day at midlife was associated with a decreased risk of dementia/AD by about 65% at late-life. In conclusion, coffee drinking may be associated with a decreased risk of dementia/AD. This may be mediated by caffeine and/or other mechanisms like antioxidant capacity and increased insulin sensitivity.

Not all studies are this positive. Note that sleep deprivation is still a risk factor, with or without the aid of caffeine.
to be cynical, github is simply the friendly dev facing arm of Microsoft. and they will be friendly only as long as MS is trying to win more developers over.
Incredible. Take note, everyone - it is possible.
For other sites I recommend the extension "I don't care about cookies". It removes most cookie warnings, makes browsing the web way less bothersome.

You can also add cookie warning filters to uBlock Origin, but those doesn't autoclick when CSS filters aren't sufficient.

The murders didn't occur. They were staged.
So, they do analytics looking only at the database data?

I wonder if they built the analytics system themselves or are using a COTS.
That was an unexpected nice gesture.

I wonder what they’re using to track user activity instead, probably just a mix of server logs and the other goings on of the backend.
Yeah?..

T480 and T480s are not the same laptop. Add an s to that URL

https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/datasheet/ThinkPad_...

Bezels are rather bad on the T series back then but weight was fantastic, xps13 was slightly better in terms of bezels and weight. The T-series having the nipple also helped you use it in tighter spaces closer to your body without sticking your elbows out which helps in tight seated spaces (which is the big reason I care about body size vs screen size), but those tall bezels were dreadful. Still I was just stunned by Apples seeming lack of competitiveness in the 13-14" space, and their 15" laptops weren't good until the 16" came out which was a fine laptop compared to the competition but the thermals really disappointed me and it felt like some of the hardware they put in it went to waste. The 16" was the first laptop since 2015 I would honestly say was arguably the best on the market of that type, before that the laptops were just crap.

>Look, it’s obvious you have a bias against Apple

I have a bias against bad products like the 2016-2019 era macbooks which were dreadful. When Apple was making good laptops before then, I was a fan. After they started making good laptops again, I was a fan. When Apple was in the dark ages, I went to the store and gave their laptops an honest shot but I just couldn't bring myself to buy such garbage even though I was a fan of MacOS. Do I have to believe Apple has made the best laptops from a hardware perspective every single year to not be bias against them with no regard to what their competition is doing? There is not a single product in their lineup I do not consider arguably the best on the market these days, I've been in rooms where I was on of two mac users in a room of 30, my god I'm SO biased against Apple because I hate heavy slow computers with defective keyboards and dubious pricing.
This doesn't really answer the question any it just adds more speculation in between again. But to rewrite the question with the new speculation - what made KaiOS able to succeed in starting without WhatsApp support and eventually getting it (last year) instead of failing on both counts like FirefoxOS did?

I.e. if you've got something to claim as the reason it can't also apply to KaiOS unless there was something KaiOS did right that Mozilla didn't.
I assume that means a lower ad revenue and lower quality analytics. I wager they did a study and found the benefits of removing the dialogs outweigh the costs.

Cookie dialogs are indeed horrible and out of control. Good on them for making the jump. But I doubt many others can justify the cost associated with the change. We need a better solution that gives users choice but reduce the friction caused by annoying prompts.
I'm not sure what approach syntaxing used, and "processed" is a fuzzy term, but bread and pasta have a lot more in common with twinkies and oreos than fruits and vegetables.
You might think that something as simple as Little's Law is intuitive, but people who haven't learned it don't always find its conclusions obvious, and they are less likely to see when a problem can be framed as a queueing problem. The value is really in simple stuff like this, where having something in your mental toolkit makes the difference between a problem requiring a trivial application of something you know versus requiring thought and creativity.

A particular example I remember was a poorly architected system that was essentially two systems connected like queues in sequence. The first one was fast and lightweight, basically a gateway/hydrator for the second one, and could handle a very large backup with no ill effects. The second one was very slow and fell over quickly if too many items accumulated in the queue during a load spike. An easy short-term fix to make the system stable in production was to introduce artificial slowness in the first queue to buffer load spikes and prevent backups in the second queue. Little's Law points straight to this solution, but people who didn't have queueing theory in their mental toolkit had not considered fixing the system by slowing part of it down. It looked like a big leap of imagination for them, even if they found it intuitive to understand after it was pointed out.

This is great! GitHub continues to, somehow, surprise me.

One question I do have, however, is whether or not the new homepage[0] which shows where people are when they open a PR actually reveals their present location. In the few samples I checked it did not seem that the presence of the person indicated matched their bio's location settings. If it is truly unmasking people's location I think it should be opt-in only, since it is private information. An employer or state may have issues with someone opening a PR from a specific country at a specific time, for example.

Wait. I did the same thing and after running the filter for several months, when I disassembled it, the filter was clean as new, but the bulk of the dust was laying somewhere between the blades and the motor and on the edges of the fan. It is very hard to actually get the right type of fan and assemble it correctly because simple fan will not work (the air will flow over the blades, thus not providing the required suction so that the air passes through the filters). The filters have pretty high resistance so you need a very efficient sucking / blowing fan to make the air pass through.
Mike: "Hey Bob, what's up with this one house in this neighborhood? We aren't able to get a look in side."

Bob: "Hmmm, anyone preventing us from getting a look means they are subversive. Get a no-knock warrant to investigate that location. Only illicit activities can be taking place there."

In this case, being "invisible" actually makes you more suspicious which only brings their attention upon you that much more intense.
I'm an American that's currently in Europe, and I recently downloaded a mobile ad-blocker for the purpose of blocking cookie popups. I was already blocking most tracking at the DNS level, so this was mostly for cosmetic purposes. Blocking consent banners has made browsing the mobile web so much more pleasant.
I assume "hyper targeting" in this case means tracking and correlating an individual across different apps. My question is, even if they're prevented from doing that, can't they use your location to serve you ads for small businesses in your area?
Cookie is a technical solution. The law isn't about cookies but about privacy.

The alternative to asking permission to do intrusive things is to avoid doing intrusive things.
We also have a not great reputation as Team America: World Police where were already perceived to be sticking our fingers where they don't belong.

A last thought is that involving the USG is going to create a vastly unequal amount of pressure. Were going to have a lot of leverage over poor countries that depend on the US directly or indirectly for humanitarian aid, trade or military protection.

Just take a look at what has happened to Cuba since we tried to change them. Still Communist, but now they also have tons of humanitarian issues because they lack access to a close first world trading partner. The regimes also don't seem any less brutal.

I also hate that the USG leaning on a country usually makes the citizens miserable, not the government. Just as an example, dictator in Blahland says Facebook has to ban these 15 journalists. Facebook refuses, dictator blocks Facebook. USG steps in and demands that they unblock Facebook, or we withold humanitarian aid. The dictator says fine, it's not like he/she is going to starve. We withold aid, causing famine and instability in the region. At the end of that, are we really the good guys? The journalists still have no access, Facebook is still blocked, and now there's an escalating humanitarian crisis.

I'm not well versed in politics though, perhaps there are more surgical means to apply pressure.
Bitcoin: Why “Store of Value” Is a Bullshit Argument
Personally I think C isn’t useful to know topically. It really only became useful once I had a basic grasp on computer architecture, assembly language, and operating systems. Then suddenly its use made a lot more sense to me. If you’re not thinking about those things when writing C then you’re probably using it for the wrong reason, and there’s probably a better tool for the job.
