Depends on who's the complainer! If it's an enterprise-level business, the FCC is going to storm in. If it's an individual, it's probably going to have to be whoever the mayor of your town points their finger at when they get a call to their hotline. My technician father was on the end of this once - he helped install a wireless water pressure sensor for the water utility and was called 200 miles back to the customer check out why someone was complaining about TV interference. With some radio test equipment, he determined it was... the complainer's electric blanket interfering with their TV!
It's all staged.
The worst is when the banner says: "This site uses cookies. Agree / Disagree" -- it's not even asking for consent.

Some sites don't even give you a "Disagree." Liberty of London has no way to opt-out: "By closing this box or by clicking accept and close, you agree to our use of cookies."

ok, slightly reformatting the above and excluding "2% or less" ingredients for the first approximation we get:

- flour, water, beef, soy, cheese, ketchup, corn syrup, vinegar, salt, onion.

- the rest is "2% or less" which we can ignore for the first order approximation

To my taste it's too much salt and I also don't like sugar in my food, but other than that the ingredients are pretty benign.

It's 250 calories per 100 grams, close to my personal upper limit of "reasonable foods".

If eating one or two of these for breakfast make you feel full and happy until lunch - why not?

(edit: reformatting)
Am I correct in thinking that the launch will be basically horizontal once the assembly has enough altitude?
Just saying

PS5 and Xbox

You know there's a bump coming when a new generation of entertainment machines comes out (also applies to anything that doesn't update every year like apple ipad mini may cause a bump but it's not nearly as competitive as gaming)
Yep, that's pretty much spot on.
The EU law does not require these multiple pages of legalese. Not even a little bit.

In fact it says "it shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent".

So you shouldn't attribute complexity to the EU law, when the law actually insists on simplicity.

It's a myth that the GDPR requires complex forms, or even just banners. One that website operators (mainly 3rd party advertisers and trackers who provide the banners/popups to sites) would like you to believe.

A genuine GDPR-compliant banner/popup is much simpler.

In fact you can make a GDPR-compliant site without any banner/popup/form at all, while still using cookies, logins, shopping carts and analytics etc. You just need to do it in a privacy-respecting way, which isn't hard.

The complexity is website operators attempt to half-comply and half-violate the law, frustrate and arm-twist users into something most people would not agree to if it was easy to decline. The obnoxious complexity is deliberate, to annoy and frustrate you so that you give in to the "easy" option they very much want you to "choose".
My understanding is that it's not that the trades themselves will move the market, but it's likely that the market will move.

Thanks for posting this. Helps me springboard into the paper faster.
There's no proof for either the accusation that it was intentional or that it was an honest mistake. I agree to disagree.

At this point, it's up to the reader to decide what they want to believe.

Whether it's staged or not, the package (glitterbomb) itself is rather interesting from an engineering aspect, as are the rest of his videos. They are all entertaining and educational, so I'm rather ok with staged porch pirates purely on the entertainment value, and given what passes for "Reality TV" anymore, I'm willing to bet it's less scripted than most of that anyways.
By the time one graduates high school, they have spent the past 13 years going to school. If they want some gap years, go for it.

I realized it long before graduating (and wanted it), but went to college that fall anyway. I didn't like the school, and dropped out after 3 weeks. To say that it somehow condemned me would be enormously incorrect. I went to another college the next summer and graduated faster than I would have at the other place, and launched my career in 2009.

Why is there Pepsi?
Coke Cola Classic has been the world best selling soft drink for over a decade and probably longe

People who want a Cola like drink prefer Coke.

Or even any other soft drinks than Cola derivates.
They sell the most by far.

Why does Dr Pepper exist? Or Club-Mate? Or Tøyen Cola.

There is a concept called competition.

There is also nice to have variety and being able to pick

A single operating system dominating the entire world from
PDP11 --> entirely is a bleak dystopia.

WindowsNT was lightyears ahead of Linux kernel when it come out.
Async everything from the start. Better protection for hardware.
Easily portable. x66, PowerPC, Alpha, Mips
Able to run win32, OS/2 and a posix layer that could be extended into
other adventures.
Also the most modern operating out there in wide use.

It sadly has retrograded over time.

Both WindowsNT, Linux and BSD are all unsuited for the world we live in now.

I can't wait until some sharp minds are able to create the next generation operating system.
It is taking far too long.

I loved the time of competition and variety
Atari TOS/GEM, MSDos, VAX, OS2, OS/400, Sintran, Mac OS (System 1.0 -->), AmigaOS, WindowsNT, many flavours of UNIX, Sinclair BASIC

Those are just alternate operating systemsI have used myself over a life.

I want far more flavours, ideas, alternatives out there, not less.
This essentially moved the banner into the browser, and will make will make ad networks tell websites to not use SameSite=none, but use SameSite cookies and tell those ad networks behind the scenes. There are plenty of ads now already that are seemingly first party hosted (and go as far as transmitting the ad content through e.g. websockets to avoid adblocker detection).

Anyone reselling AWS services wants to price bandwidth above AWS' price, and AWS' bandwidth pricing is high. (E.g. AWS EC2 in us-east-1 to the internet costs up to ~0.09/GB, so your ~0.5 TB would end up at around £33 - although Netlify will obviously have some volume discounts.)

We built this as a 'control plane' for everything above your backend APIs. You can bring your own CI/CD and get the same 'infinite staging' and other features that help bring Jamstack principles to large, dynamic websites.
I worked on a research project using these—the design is totally wild, and not just because they don't have clocks. I remember talking to one of the other people at the company, and he had a debugging story that—if I'm recalling correctly—came down to one core seeing the output of another core part way through the register being updated. Cores communicate by linking the top registers of their stacks against the top register of neighboring cores and, since there's no system-wide clock, two cores can run slightly out of step with one another.

That must not have been easy to diagnose! I suppose that's the trade-off with not having clocks, although I don't really know enough about computer architecture to judge.
Once, and only once, since GDPR was implemented, I found a banner that was actually compliant with the GDPR. It defaults to allowing only necessary cookies, requires affirmative consent before any other cookies are used, and makes rejection of tracking have no additional steps compared to accepting tracking. Every other banner I have seen will violate those in some way, either saying that continued use of the site constitutes acceptance, or requiring unchecking of several boxes before clicking accept, or requiring going to dozens of affiliate websites in order to search out and disable tracking settings there.

As in, this is the first GDPR banner I've seen that is actually legal under the GDPR.

The thing that made them untenable for our use case is that they charge on a per transaction basis. At scale, that becomes very expensive.
Until now GitHub has sent client-side requests to Google Analytics with a client ID that was also sent in a second client-side request to an in-house analytics API at GitHub for augmenting and cross-referencing user data.

The client-side Google Analytics request no longer appears to be sent, but a request containing personal data is still sent to collector.githubapp.com.

The privacy policy page which lists third party data subprocessors and cookies used on GitHub [1] seems to be outdated. Does the announced change also mean that Google Analytics and other subprocessors have been eliminated, or has some of the tracking merely moved server-side?

Why should Facebook cut off access, instead of simply ignoring the local laws? As a US citizen I honestly couldn't care less if the content of my website is criminal in Iran or Saudi Arabia.

As long as Facebook doesn't have employees or servers in that jurisdiction, it should ignore the laws of that jurisdiction. Let that country put up its own firewall.

What's probably happening here is that Twitter/FB/etc are afraid of that firewall threat. That's just spineless.
That idea that activists (in corp) don't constitute a tribe in an interesting opinion - one that I actually sorta-subscribe to.

I frame it in terms of acculturation vs. assimilation. You have to decide what your corp. policy is and make it explicit, something that I think did not happen here.

The conversation is something like 'if you join us, you do your thing BUT our way" or "if you join us, you do your thing YOUR way". Then folks coming in understand the ground rules.

I would say most corps will prefer option 1 but some (most?) folks coming in for roles like "Ethics" expect option 2 - which is NOT unreasonable. I don't know that this conversation happened (explicitly enough) here.

All of that aside, like I said in the parent comment, it is critical to consider that no one side gets to frame the position alone in situations like this where the job is literally, to come in and shake up status quo - everyone with a seat at the table has a say that should have equal-ish weight.

Also, note, corp in this specific case thought that that they are enough of a "tribe" to bring them inside the fence with a 'unique' label that makes that 'tribe' explicit. Witness what is going on here.

Labelling them as "spoiled kids" is "the missing part of the point" I was alluding to.

These folks have a different way of doing things. In bringing them in, you don't get to force them to align to your vision of how to do things (not what to do which you get to define as the employer). This is because you brought them in specifically and explicitly because they were different and bringing something different to the table that you did not have before.

If it was a set of skills, capabilities - whatever - that you could have grown in-house, you would have done so.

If you think that a 'tribe' can contribute value, you have to be able to deal with the pieces of their being 'different' from you that rub you the wrong way without labelling them if it is a key component of their identity.

More explicitly, don't blame ethicists for reacting in ways you don't expect to ethical issues.

Keycloak is a worthy alternative, no doubt. There are a few reasons we built SuperTokens - despite knowing about Keycloak:

We've taken a modular approach which is different from most. This enables you to only pick the features you want for your use case and not worry about unnecessarily complexity.

We provide far more flexibility and options on the frontend as well

KeyCloak is a small part of the Redhat (and even less significant for IBM, the owner of Redhat). For us, our team and company is 100% dedicated to building auth. Its do or die for us. While this may not sound tangible, we'll constantly be innovating (and hopefully out executing keycloak).

Keycloak does not offer a hosted version of the offering. In our opinion, a hosted open source product is still quite distinct from a proprietary SaaS product.

We provide the most robust solution for managing session tokens. We mitigate against all types of attacks and detect token theft using rotating refresh tokens. One of our libraries to solve for edge cases (browser tabs lock) is actually used by Auth0 as well and has 250K weekly downloads on npm.

Finally - in general, we've had feedback from Keycloak users that they've had a poor experience deploying and managing Keycloak and would switch to a good alternative, if there was one. I understand that this was not true for you.

If you do get the opportunity and decide to try out supertokens, we'd love to hear about how your experience compares between the two.
Thank you. This is exactly what I envisioned!
I'm no fan of hot pockets, but what exactly is the point here? That the list of ingredients is long?

Most of the list is regular food ingredients or vitamins/minerals added to the "enriched flour". The stabilizers and emulsifiers with scary chemical names are present in tiny amounts regulated by various health departments.

If hot pockets are unhealthy, it's because of the qualities they might share with a homemade meat pie; too much or too little of some nutrients. Not because of some magical consequence of being too processed or having too many ingredients.
Or they could use localStorage instead, which is a superior storage mechanism.
Better people-skills and emotional intelligence would work wonders here, compared to immediately reaching for the hatchet and communicating through demands and ultimatums. Reflects very poorly on them for their inability, in this case, to start a civil conversation which can be ramped up in so many appropriate ways.

But there's a big difference between bugs in AI and no driving or pursuit AI at all. That's why people aren't satisfied with their statement, they're trying to blur the line between bug and non-existent feature.
Yes, this is also a good point. Retail trades are more likely to express real demand. When a retail traders puts in an order for 135 shares, say, it's most likely that's an accurate and complete signal of that traders intentions: they are looking to buy 135 shares. For institutional players, it could be an iceberg order: once the 135 shares are filled, the refill the order with another 135, again and again. So the actual orders they submit are less representative of their actual intent, making handling their trades much more risky.

Consider these two facts:

1) The Green New Deal is not supposed to (solely) be an energy policy. It's intended to be a restructuring of multiple interrelated sectors of society. Those elements that you listed are all within the scope of a "New Deal"-level project.

2) In negotiations, you always start big. As a leader in the progressive House caucus, she's supposed to push hard up front. The GOP and the centrists will have plenty of time to water down GND and pack it full of giveaways to fossil fuel interests and health insurance companies.

No. I haven’t been to FOSDEM and I’d bet the majority of FOSS developers haven’t. And that’s the point. Just because you experience a lot of people getting paid to do it doesn’t mean “the vast majority” are.

I guess we’re just arguing past each other. I agree it’s good to recognize money in the industry (many have an aversion to it because of EEE fears), and I also agree that the majority of successful projects are done by paid people. I guess that’s the disconnect: I’m looking at all projects, not just the successful ones.
True, but there's also a distinction to be made among kinds of carbohydrates. I think of it in two categories, coal and jet fuel. Coal is stuff like potatoes - it's fuel, but it lasts a long time. Twinkies, white bread, and even white rice are jet fuel - they burn really fast, and then they're gone.

Eat carbs that are coal, not jet fuel.

Implementing session handling as URL parameters makes no difference from a legal perspective. It will be covered by the law excatly the same as if one used cookies.

There's a lot of Wants on this page that are not Needs and people generally do a really terrible job at distinguishing between them. Credit cards exacerbate this issue not only because you can spend beyond your means but because the transaction doesn't have the same psychological impact. I believe this is the same reason company push on "points" or "coins" for transactions in their apps/sites.
> It's not clear that a boycott is a meaningful response in the context of these kinds of disputes.

I think the idea isn't so much a boycott specifically, but some kind of civil disobedience that specifically opposed to the improper law or regime.

> If Facebook gets an improper censorship demand from the Tunisian government and responds by cutting off Tunisia's Facebook access, aren't they just doing what the government wanted?

I agree. A more appropriate response would be to not comply, and make it clear that was intentional. That could even be amplified by taking deliberate steps to oppose such improper censorship.

Well, absurdely high isn't really true, it is quite similar to e.g. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/pricing

There is a some up/down depending on various rebates, volume licenses, support included/excluded, etc ("nobody pays sticker price"). But in general, RedHat is in the same order of magnitude as Windows but a little cheaper due to no per-core-pricing, no necessary CAL shenannigans or weird limitations on number of users/size of company/VM/PM and stuff.

But of course it's true that in domains like HPC or cloud computing, the huge number of licenses and machines involved make a few hundred bucks per year just too expensive in sum.

A patent gives you protection for your idea because you described it in the patent.

Malicious compliance is still compliance. Somebody being told "Please watch the pressure gauge." and then staring at it as it goes outside of safe regions is doing exactly what they were asked to do. This is blatant noncompliance with the thinnest veneer of respectability.

I wouldn't like it nearly as much if I thought it was fantasy, but I believe it is based on the author's real experience.
