The standardized popup is not in the gdpr but it is stated, that you have to make the privacy friendlies setting your default. If the user just clicks ok this should lead to no tracking at all.

It seems like the typical American shopping mall would need a lot of work to convert partially to residential. Most malls have virtually no exterior windows for one.
"Build Consensus" - hah, the words of an org chart climber.

I've recently joined a BigCo (as a senior+ engineer), and the culture here isn't building consensus (out of authentic building blocks) - it's a toxic "we must be consensus after every meeting."

There's always a "champion" idea (but you can bring a "challenger" idea so people feel heard), there's always a need to "be in alignment" after every 45 min chunk of time, etc.

Consensus is clearly an end in itself, not a means by which we solve problems.

I'll just slither around in it though. Talk the talk so no one gets wise $_$
Have you tried going through these new popups? If they are trustworthy then the current ones allow you to disable some cookies and give you an idea of who is doing the tracking. Even though there are far better ways to manage cookies with browser settings and extensions: the options are sometimes quite limited (e.g. Chrome on Android) and many people would simply be unaware of cookies without these popups. Those people use browsers with little understanding of what's happening under the hood and have no interest in exploring technology so disclosure is one of the few ways to inform them.

As for privacy theatre, there are two reasons why these popups are pointless. First, it was too little and too late. If the regulations came in before tracking became pervasive, it could have been effective since people would have had the option to find similar content. Second, far too few people feel entitled and click through without really considering whether it is worth the price.
Management has always taken my estimates, put them in a drawer, and then blamed me when the estimate was wrong.

Of course, they ignore the fact that the requirements changed during the project every single time.

That said, every project I've ever worked on was "new ground" and had never been done before. Musk can estimate how long it will take to make the next Tesla but might have a bit of trouble estimating the opening of the first Mars colony.

There was a posting about estimating that talked about walking in California. It was perfect. Can't find it again though.
Brilliant, I dont see nothing wrong with this, he just gives the people what the people wants to see, its like getting mad that some tv shows are fake, its all entertainment folks. The steak is virtual and its tasty :)

That’s an overly broad generalization without any data behind it. And my self respect and stance against such corporations are worth more than other things. Why would I want to pay and encourage extortion and abuse?
Actually, enforceability of such terms varies by jurisdiction and other factors. Search on clickwrap, clickthrough, etc.
And the do-not-track header was created, and promptly ignored and used as a form of fingerprinting, due to an absence of legal backing.
It didn't exist for long, it isn't needed and is just another way for the government to get more control of the internet. Let's wait till there is a problem before we try to fix it.
We don't generally work that hard in Denmark, tbh. I lived in the UK in the late 80s and it was much harder than DK, like fight-to-survive harder. And I've also lived in a country which was even more extreme. Seriously, a benevolent social security system makes sense
The Indelible Legacy of Sylvia Hunt
Haha yes we got bitten by that on a recent project but it resulted in a minor bug we patched pretty quick. I don't mind taking that downside.

Can't remember the exact name of it but it's one of the open API generators that supports all the major languages. Unfortunately the csharp and dotnet core generator generates clients with RestSharp which doesn't use the almighty HttpClient, so I consider them unusable, but it generates the models faithfully. If it so happens the open API spec is wrong that's unfortunate. Though usually if they have an SDK I just use the models directly from the SDK! That's the absolute sweet spot for me. Especially if their SDK is generated off open API it probably stays perfectly or acceptably accurate with incentives to correct any inaccuracies.
Are there libraries in other languages that work similarly to Trio?
I think (and hope?) that the parent comment was sarcastic.
When people first started talking about self driving this is what I thought it was going to be. If you want to enter the "self driving zone" your car needs to be equipped with a government approved self driving module, and everything on the roads in that zone is standardised and maintained.

It just seems like a problem that's multiple orders of magnitude easier to solve from a technical standpoint.
Can you explain how the egress problem is supposed to work?

Suppose you have a giant square floor plan, and housing units like this:

[01][02][03][04]

[05][06][07][08]
[09][10][11][12]

[13][14][15][16]

Then units 01-04 and 13-16 are on the exterior of the building, units 05-12 are on the interior with skylights, and there are hallways between them as shown. Where is the egress problem?

Starlink Update
I installed a Starlink "dishy" on my roof. It couldn't have been easier and it "just works". Kudos to Musk and his team.

Dishy works great if you use it for applications that buffer, such as watching television or youtube. File downloads are MUCH faster than my landline link.

But if you're playing something that doesn't buffer, like a game, then dropouts occur and are visible. They are rarely more than a few seconds.

Perhaps we need an HTML extension that lets websites like HackerNews decorate the "next" button with the ability to pre-download the next page in the background.
There’s a couple defaults (e.g. always show scroll bars) I don’t change because, as a web developer, I need my browsing experience to be “typical”. But, overall, this is a very interesting list of things.
As someone who used to work at LittleBigCo, I think this beats having great ideas and then having them given to people who are in the inner circle with the founders. At least BigCo isn't super fratty like LittleBigCo tends to be. Or I could be wrong, please tell me if I'm wrong. I want to be wrong. Lots of LittleBigCo's these days are pushing overhyped products and are mostly just having fun with corporate money.
the early Insights are awesome little vehicles, they used just about every trick in the book on them. Indexed spark plugs; the aero skirts on the back that make a difference you can feel when they're not there, tires that'd serve for a motorcycle.

Ours is at the shop waiting for our mechanic to have time and inspiration to perhaps wedge an alternator into it, she's et the 3rd battery pack at 270k miles, and we're not going to invest 1.5x her value in another. If our guy can make her live again we might get another 200k or more out of it.
The relative improvement is both an oversell and an undersell depending on the context. For many applications the correct answer may be that a reasoned set of DB queries is about as good as it gets owing to lack of data, no better algorithm exiting, or product experience being mildly impacted by changes to the DB fetching component.

When confronted with these uncertainties internal stakeholder will often swing from "we just need more scientists working on this problem" to "it works fine, why would we spend time on this?" attitudes. The former almost always leads to over-investment where 3 teams of people are working on what should be one individuals project. The latter can sometimes be right, but I've also seen Fortune 500 Search rankings that have never been tuned let alone leverage an ML model.
Complaining OAM should not be implemented on K8s doesn't make sense to me.

Kubernetes is NOT a PaaS, it's by design for you to create abstractions atop and serve your own purposes. And OAM is a great option if you want to build things like app PaaS or app delivery systems with k8s.

It seems you either have mis-understanding on OAM or Kubernetes, based on you are involved in OAM, it's likely the later case.
Long time overdue. If poor countries ever want to get out of the state of being locked into subservience they should acquire ability to move up the chain in production by any means possible.
You’re clearly shilling for something here or just like to be contrarian. And who “forced” whom?? I’m pretty sure I chose to upgrade the software because it made more sense to me.. just like everyone that upgraded.

There’s no such thing as the “original chain”. ETC has itself had multiple hard forks (ie Agharta and Atlantis) Every time the software is updated in a way that requires clients to upgrade, you get a hard fork. It’s simply that in most cases, no one keeps the old software, so you don’t have a second blockchain fork that lives on.

So what’s the “original”. If you mean Ethereum as it was prior to the DAO fix, then literally no one is running that chain.

I’ll go run some mining clients pre ETC Agharta and call it “Ethereum Classic Classic” and then post stupid comments all over forums how it’s the “original”

Edit: Ahhh... you’re shilling. You’ve got ADA and Tezos... I’m guessing ETC as well. I read back through your history.

For those reading, just goes to show you kiddies, don’t believe everything you read online. Do you’re own research, and a lot of it. And research doesn’t mean what people post on forums, it means original sources, code, technical papers, etc. When people have vested interests like with investment stuff, there’s lots of FUD.

I’ve got tokens in ADA, DOT, ETC, ETH, BTC, etc etc etc. I am interested in discussing the facts and technology of blockchains, not in pumping some single coin I have.
I know someone who used to be an Amazon driver similar to Vic in this article.

They also left over this same issue but the real reason they explained to me was nothing to do with privacy but it prevented them from running their side gig while driving.

They had a second phone and were fielding calls while driving as a real estate agent and they couldn't do that with cameras.
I feel like everyone savvy just does this because they understand the consequences of not doing it and the clueless people always just bitch about there being so much office politics. In my experience it's just the communication protocol that works.
That means you also gave permission for them to identify you, store and process that data. And with things like canvas fingerprinting it doesn't matter that you deleted the cookies, they have a persistent identifier for you anyway.
This seems like a step too far and I don’t want to see such invasions of privacy normalized. It’s bad enough to see the recent disturbing trend of companies policing employees’ speech and politics on their personal time.
That’s great. How much do the batteries cost? I’ve always wanted one of these cars.
I'm told it's primarily used for "networking stuff and big data processing", but "log processing" and "network switches" were also mentioned as (I assume active) use-cases.
The article does say that Rome required some level of constant migration into the city to maintain it's population.

I can't speak to how true that is but it might explain the population numbers.

You've probably noticed that there aren't really any successful companies that are run as democracies. There are good reasons for that.
oh i agree - that's why i left a streak of startup jobs to get paid more to do less at BigCo.

BigCo isn't fratty at all in my limited experience. Be professional, follow whatever 10 commandments the C-suite prints out & laminates for you, and sell yourself once a year in self-review and you'll win out and barely work if you're remote.

Smaller companies have very little org-chart structure - it's a single small tree. There's no equilibrium in the org chart. So a couple bad actors can easily ruin it all. And they did at every startup I was at.

My play is to collect checks and eventually make art with my computer science experience for the rest of my life.

> It's not so long since Vietnam went from not growing coffee to being one of the world’s largest producers in under 20 years. I bet they could do it with cocoa too.

But there is a finite number of farmlands available. For asian countries to up their cocoa production, they must take a portion of farmlands from other crops, or burn more rainforest to make more farmlands, neither of which is good in the long term.
I see a parallel with the way covid was initially publicized: as a chinese virus.

>"...Part of that is due to their rampant IP theft..."

IP is artificial construct supported and ultimately enforced by governments when it suits their purpose. For developing countries this IP just locks them forever into servitude as they can not afford to pay for IP. Never mind that. Even if they invent something themselves they'd still be breaking some patent. Personally I completely support a position where until country reaches certain GDP per capita they should be free from any IPO enforcements.

By the way the largest IP holder on this planet is also the largest thief of IP. This is how they've started.
It's pretty obvious since air circulation is the number one factor. Cities notoriously have bad air circulation due to the number of obstacles. It's why as you go higher up, wind speed increases. Throw a bunch of obstacles around a room, and increase the amount of stagnant air. Makes me cringe.
Doesn't use enough memory perhaps.
Lysenko wasn't an outsider, he was representative of the institutional establishment views. Anyone who opposed him was canceled. In the Soviet Union under Stalin this meant death. I don't think HCQ curing Covid could ever claim to represent the institutional establishment view. Lysenkoism is what happens when there is an elimination of critics of scientific doctrine through terror.

Another instance of this in the Soviet Union was that Beria, the head of the NKVD had to directly appeal to Stalin to get him to stop a party conference to denounce relativity as "Jewish Physics", because it would completely derail the atomic bomb project if it became ideology as Lysenkoism had. Stalin was smart enough to put a stop to this particular ideological crusade.

IMO, the solution here from unicode's end seems really clear. Just add superscript and subscript modifiers (the same way emoji have skin-tone and gender modifiers). That way, you don't need to add special ones for every character people want different versions of.
Not who you asked, but if you have signed into a Google app (Gmail, youtube, etc) on a phone then they will send a push notification to that phone that bypasses 2FA. This cannot be disabled, you can choose to login with the second factor you setup, but it doesn't provide any security anymore.

York University asks student to deal with failing tests in the middle of a coup
Surely there's an easier way:

Standardize an extension to the Set-Cookie header for a "Purpose" field. This field if unset means the cookie is essential (local laws now still apply so if a website misrepresents a non-essential cookie as essential then that's illegal just the same way as implementing a fake cookie banner or not implementing one (if you need it) is illegal). Now in my browser I can set my cookie preferences to only store and send essential cookies.

For other tracking methods that don't use cookies there's already DNT and all that's needed is for a local law update to clarify what it means and to enforce its use.

These things would actually make sense as opposed to the current situation where the EU makes it sound like cookies are something a website forcibly stores on your computer and uses.
I love just about everything made by Lindt, with the exception of the products of their that I haven't tried yet.

The dark one with sea salt is especially enticing, but I avoid it as well dark chocolate in general, because of the higher stimulant content. It makes me wonder how much of dark chocolate's growing popularity has to do with the stimulants it contains. As I tried to elude to by mentioning my prior experience at Whole Foods, I have broad exposure to different foods, i.e. I really do understand how satisfying a bag of bitter raw cocoa nibs can be.

General upvote for everything Shamus writes, really.

His primary venue is his "Twenty Sided" blog, where he writes long-form critiques and commentary on specific games and the gaming industry as a whole:

https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/

His "Mass Effect Retrospective" series is an epic (in both length and detail) deconstruction of the story, setting, and writing of each game in the Mass Effect series:

https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?cat=508

He actually recently announced that he's going to be publishing that ME Retrospective in book format as well:

https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=52015

and fwiw, he's got a Patreon (which I happily support for a few bucks a month, because I appreciate his writing):

No, English is my first language. Last I checked with the science, you’re born either male or female. If you’ve got a mental disease that makes you feel like you “should” be a different gender, how does that magically make you ACTUALLY that gender?

I also don’t understand how this is offensive. It’s pretty much biology 101.
This is a very reasonable way of looking at the situation and I completely agree with you. It's important to consider that producing content to put on YouTube is the primary source of income for some people. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

As someone who played a lot with DN3D level editor, yes, the mirrors were a huge hack. But then came Shadow Warrior, a fun game, a bit less successful, that re-used most of DN3D game engine and added yet another layer of hacks: They had a level with reflective floor... AND A MIRROR ON A WALL!

Looking at it with the editor was an unholy mess of sprites and scripts.

Agreed, this is just blocking an abuse vector. It also only blocks writes (comments/uploads) not access, you can still watch videos just fine.
That isn't true. AMD aren't great at it, but Intel publish thousands and thousands of pages of manuals. They don't have the secret sauce in them as per se but Apple literally will not publish jack shit about anything inside M1.
"proof of concept on the safe use of mRNA."

Until about a year ago, potential treatments took 5-10 years of safety testing before general population use. This stuff takes time for things like antibody-dependent enhancement to be found.

What we do know is those who are obese have bad outcomes to C19. I am not obese, got it a couple months ago, and recovered with just home rest. Now I test positive for the antibodies.

Name one innovation that occurred because of Net Neutrality repeal? That was the other side's argument -- that Net Neutrality hindered innovation.

The last four years, I've seen nothing but stagnation in the industry, except for perhaps what telecoms like to call "5G", which may have technological advances, but is more of a marketing buzzword. There are still data caps on home connections for literally no reason at all, except as a cash grab. There are still considerably high prices for access. There are still regional monopolies. There is still very little competition, when comparing apples to apples in offered bandwidth. We got flooded with zero-rating services during this time which in and of itself stifles competition. And with this pandemic, it became crystal clear just how vital the internet is, especially as it relates to our kids and their education.

Net Neutrality was on the FCC books for, what, 18 months tops? It had little time to do anything that it was meant, and it really belongs in legislation [1] and not at the mercy of a changing administration.

Has a short list of library implementations for C, Python, Swift, and Kotlin. As I understand it (not a Java programmer, well not up to date on the ecosystem) it's being adopted/explored in Java via Project Loom as well.
In most projects, outside of publicly published interfaces (and even that is a stretch), documentation is incomplete, badly written and not updated thus misleading. Having a tool that links directly to the code is a great idea.
Trials are often run with multiple arms.

It's not treatement/placebo.

It might be 50mg/20mg/10mg/placebo.
It's an extremely useful FUD for large monopolies, since they can create their own infrastructure and cut ahead of smaller businesses that will be trampled by NN regulations. It's an easy pitch because they make it sound 'democratic', but from an engineering perspective it's absolutely nuts.
This leaves out the part where they were already working mRNA vaccines for other diseases, like influenza. They repurposed that work, much the same as moderna did to make their vaccine.

> There's no way for mRNA to scan the rest of your DNA sequence to make an if/else determination. mRNA is just gonna execute once its in the body.

Of course there is, genes can be turned on/off using transcription factors. Still, the sequence of vaccines are published and easy enough to sequence and analyze, so I don't think something like this could be mass produced.
The funny but for me is that NZ dairy has been locked out of certain markets due to this sort of thing. Despite NZ being at the end of the earth, the miles travelled exporting our dairy to Europe are often less than those travelled by dairy produced and sold in Europe.

However Fonterra a a terribly company and so NZ milk should probably be avoided for other reasons.
