> Don’t attribute to malice that which you can attribute to incompetence.
No, this is about boundaries, abstractions and context really. When a browser sets a bound, the website usually has no way to override that, as the browser is above it permission-wise. Similarly, if the OS sets a boundary, the browser looses out, since it's below the OS. Fittingly, when you deny crossing such a boundary, you'd expect it to be denied.

Imagine, for example, if the dialog to allow push notifications for a website would be an UAC window. It would not make sense since a) the OS would ask for something which is clearly contained within the context of the browser and b) the OS has no reasonable [0] way to know whether a notification sent by the browser is on behalf of the denied/allowed website. Similarly, it makes sense to have the prompt for tracking data in the context of the website, since it is the only context in which it can reasonably [0] handle the response. It does change the difficulty or legality of circumvention, yes, but it is a bit less security theater.

At least that's the technical reason. If we're being honest, the discussion never came up, because a) laws are bad for setting technical standards in many ways and b) most site owners prefer to build their own dark patterns to get the user to click accept anyway.

[0] Excluding heuristics, of course, which would just start a game of cat and mouse yet again and would necessarily be flawed.
"overdensity" as people per land area or per floor area? Because I pretty firmly believe the former doesn't exist.

Idea: make universities fund the loans. Then they have an incentive to monitor student progress and make sure the student graduates and has a reasonable plan to make money to pay back the loan. If they make a lot of bad loans, they'll need to fire some of their cushy Dean and Assistant Dean jobs.
Not sure I follow. What action or lack-thereof are we trying to attribute?
It's really simple to have no desktop icons on the Mac. Just open the finder settings and under General untick all of the boxes to show on the desktop. Then move everything out of the ~/Desktop folder. It won't have anything on it after that.

London was pretty dense when the black death reduced the population. Disease had not prevented it from reaching that density.

A problem of more land under cultivation is food transport.

Another mechanism of population control is warfare. A predisposition for war, and conquest of land, avoided food shortages in the first place - for the victors. In short: the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse maintained carrying capacity. Another, rarely practiced, was infanticide.

This is increasingly being solved with contraceptives. Note that TV, internet, video games, wealth and education have contraceptive effect.
Solving vision is an incredibly difficult problem that is made harder by the lack of stereoscopic cameras. There is fundamentally no need to rely on vision alone other than bragging rights. It provides almost no practical benefit.
Your second example is easy to understand.

Sufferer of RP here. The brain really is amazing and capable of a lot of inference on sparse data. Unfortunately it’s inference is not always correct, or intuitive. See Charles Bonnet Syndrome.

I'm a boss type guy and I absolutely do this intentionally but not because it's not really me setting policy as much as I'm focus group testing. I run it past peers or a few influential people who could be receptive. Get them to to think about it and give some feedback. When I bring it up to the group it's because it's been well-received and the other influencers are ready to back it. Similar to how this article explains it.

This was exactly the same problem for us. Worse, we were integrating Amazon and Shopify testers wanted our Amazon keys for their testing. Our users have already paid with Stripe and we are not allowed to use Shopify app since payments are not Shopify Payment.

if your app fails their ludicrous testing (one was failed as our icon had wrong font from website) they ban any submission for few months, don't allow integration with other ecommerce platforms, don't allow shopify orders to be cross platform, don't allow non-shopify payments.

And they always nickel and dime their users including Shopify payments. You think Amazon is bad? Wait till you get on Shopify
Yes, it is the trend for the last year or so. At this point, it is even more annoying than TV.

Just like today’s political hacks are pushing legalized racial discrimination (affirmative action) in education and corporations despite many studies showing that mere racial diversity does not improve the performance of a company or institution.

Hmm maybe I can see Rajesh's LinkedIn when I log in because I'm some number of degrees away from him. Or maybe just logging in is enough. Anyway, you can search the web for him if you want to see that he has indeed been at Microsoft a long time (nearly 25 years now).

As for Eric Lawrence, if Eric gets quoted a lot that's probably because he wrote the first versions of Fiddler, the debugging localhost proxy that many Windows developers use, so tech journalists that specialize in Microsoft have heard of him through their developer acquaintances. Plus his Microsoft email address is easy to guess: [his Twitter username]@microsoft.com

Eric left Microsoft after over 10 years, went through 2 companies including Google, then came back within about 6 years. I consider him closer to Microsoft in outlook than Google, though one could plausibly disagree given how rude he was about his old team's products IE and Edge while he was away.

As for "Principal Program Manager," that being misleading about scope is news to me, and if it is, that's on the journalists to clarify, because this kind of title is commonplace and implies very little. At any tech company "Program/Product Manager" is not necessarily a people leader. "Principal" doesn't change this. "Principal" at Microsoft and other tech companies is just a rank like "Senior," albeit a hard-to-earn and usually well-deserved one. If I say I am a "Principal Product Manager, HotTechCo BlahBlah," I don't think anyone in the industry will assume I run the entirety of that product.

Yep exactly. If you go into a meeting and you haven't talked to at least a few of the people there about the topic beforehand, IME it's not going to be a productive meeting. I usually start with getting feedback from one or two subject matter experts, building consensus with them, and then slowly expand my circle of people I get feedback from, until we have "the big meeting". Having a "big meeting" with no pre-established context usually wastes everyone's time.
It makes sense where you have a lot of stakeholders. Would you ever debate an approach to doing something in front of a customer?

Likewise, if a meeting is where you adjudicate something, you need consensus to focus on the key issue, whatever that is. Otherwise, you’re likely to head into some rabbit hole that results in no decision.
For me, not having the metaclass overhead of abc is a benefit of protocols. Unfortunately you can't mix metaclass types.
Just to clarify (and as the abstract says), that paper's result is not restricted to programs in SSA form but to structured programs.

The chordal interference graphs that arise from (not necessarily structured) programs in SSA form are optimally colorable in linear time. That approach is a solid basis for a register allocator but it's worth noting that it's not solving the same problem because the introduced phi nodes split the original live ranges at CFG join points, so you're not coloring the same interference graph the program had prior to SSA conversion. In practice a good register allocator already needs to have well-tuned heuristics for spill/fill/split/coalesce placement regardless of whether it uses SSA-based coloring, so the extra splits introduced by the SSA conversion are optimized as part of that process.

In the special case where your SSA program is structured and the code is presented to the backend in its natural order, the perfect elimination order for the chordal interference graph is just backward code order. As a result you can do optimal register coloring for such programs in a single backward pass (which can be integrated into a backward code generation pass if you're trying to go fast).

If you're lucky enough to live near a metropolitan area, then you might have a Russian market. I'd recommend going to one and getting one of the small packages of herring. There usually have whole fillets preserved in what amounts to vegetable/sunflower oil and salt. No sugar added. The flavor of this herring is more pure, and reminds me more of what it's like to get it fresh from a vendor in Holland.

It might just be the diabetic predisposition I have due to family members having it, but the idea of herring preserved with sugar like you see with jarred variety, is of off-putting to me.
I'd be happy to talk to you about by next startup.

They do have a rationale. The issue is that it's biased.
Well consumer irritation with these popups is causing more and more sites to consider trackingless ads now. It's a hot topic in the EU.

I agree this is the wrong way to go about the issue but it does seem to have some positive effects as well.
Oh, ok, so you want a button to delete your cookies. That should be reasonably easy to do in an extension.

From poking around on the BioNTech website and their associated press releases and papers from people who work there, it seemed that their founding goal was to develop personalized gene therapies for cancer. (Do a biopsy, send it in, cook some mRNA, send back a shot...)

My understanding is there was basically a "hey, we can repurpose our stuff for something really important" moment. Which they did, enabling them to produce a working shot with unbelievable speed. (I read somewhere that sequenced sars-cov2 genome to first vaccine shot was something like 48h for them)

something works, because I don't get ads on my desktop browser at home (firefox + uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger + PiHole) but I do see them when I'm away from home on the app on my tablet.

OK, because ppl are gonna ask, I checked: I'm not seeing ads in the app on my tablet at home, so its the PiHole cutting ads.
Ooops, I'm not seeing ads on my desktop when using my smartphone as a hotspot either (no PiHole), so Firefox + uBO + PB also blocks YT ads.
This is just too rich. I am not the one who brought politics here. This would be more properly directed to the people who start political topics. And there are plenty of these topics on HN.

I think it really depends on what subset of data science you have in mind. For me it solved my personal version of the "two-language" problem, but YMMV. Longer-term I think the most interesting thing about the Julia ecosystem is the composability that comes from dispatch-oriented programming [1]

It is stated that you habe to activly give consent e.g. click an unchecked box or a button. Just using the website after seeing a warning or a pop-up is not active in the courts opinion
I feel the same way. I kinda feel like big tech duped me into buying into the FUD about net neutrality. I was a huge supporter of it and thought when Trump came into office the net would get segmented up. When it didn't happen I felt like I was taken for a ride.
The revolution was a reaction to the terrible leaders in Russia. The start wasn’t the revolution. Where do you pick as the beginning? I’m not sure, but the revolution was a reaction.

Having recently become a parent, I have a newfound appreciation for how complex spatial navigation tasks are. Children learn to recognize faces and objects within the first 6 weeks to 4 months of their lives. They learn to navigate environments over the next 1-5 years language is fully understood for non-gibberish use cases over the next 5-20 years. It's not a fair comparison, but it provides for roughly the only yard stick we know of.
I’d love to watch a realistic movie about Apoch’Waal. No big drama, no interminable battle scenes, no extreme color correction. Lots of walking around carrying a pole, and a focus on the small events that shaped his life: how happy he was to get those dental gem inlays to mark his status, and how devastating it was to lose one of those gems eventually. How he was remembered by the people who buried him with the two clay pots.

Anonymous trading (dark pools) also prevents favoritism and collusion too. You're trading based on nothing but the price and public information about the company. So it's less gameable.

Honestly, I think it is our job as the creators/hackers to come up with a better solution. The problem is very real, and needs to be fixed. But no good solution has ever been created by lawyers. Ever. So here we are, left with a forest of cookie warnings that perfectly break the internet.

So here is a proposal:

What if a user could declare her/his consent settings _before_ opening the website? There would no longer be a need for consent dialogues, right?

One way to achieve that would be to take an example from the UTM parameters. A browser/User could just use ?utm_consent=all, ?utm_consent=minimal, and ?utm_consent=deny to indicate the level of consent. Browsers could offer it as a standard setting and automatically amend it to any URL. Websites could just drop the consent dialogue whenever that UTM is set.
Yah I’ve been able to implement so many different features, and I love doing it myself not just because I don’t have to spend money on software (I’m perfectly willing to do that). I just hate having a myriad of single use third party utilities scattered around my hard drive and cluttering up my OS. I don’t know if I’ve just become more aware, or apps have gotten worse, but so many apps have opaque and undesirable behaviours / scopes nowadays.
The original sin of the web is that the code comes from the server again every time you run it. That means you need robust sandboxing and anti-fingerprinting etc., because you're running potentially hostile code that nobody has been able to audit.

Other types of programs don't have that problem. If you get some code from Github, you can review it yourself before the first time you run it. Then every time after that, it's still the same code so you only have to do it once. And you can have someone you trust do it for you, like a Debian package maintainer.

But with nobody reviewing the code, the machine has to do it, i.e. there have to be a bunch of technical constraints on tracking and malicious behavior.

It's a terrible rubbish fire that we don't have any kind of real application platform for real applications that runs the same on every system and doesn't have a monopolist dictating terms. We should fix that. But we could fix that, and be better off than by giving up and conceding the world to surveillance dystopia.
