They're also the two who run the biggest ad networks. It's their cookies that other illegal dialogs are installing & it's them that benefits the most from a culture of ignoring the law. I'd be more than happy for fines to be extended to other companies but I hope these fines will be a wakeup call for them.

If they don't want the fines, they could do what you and I do every day and follow the law.
My sister recently had her PCR anniversary of 100 tests. OTOH, I’m at 2 quick tests and one PCR, but I work from home and only leave for stores.

Not sure about the under-tested in general, all the public testing stations were always super busy.
It's not that you get punched in the face if you 'accept all'.

It is that you create a small but real possibility to suffer from it in the future. Like getting a lottery ticket to win something like paying more for your flight, being denied insurance or bank loan, being subjected to political manipulation, having your name published alongside your sexual preferences, or, to nicely round it up, being selected for participation in a governmental work camp. All of this did happen in the past, albeit not to everyone of course, of course.

> Can the "don't do evil things with user data" intent of this legislation not simply be subsumed under GDPR?

It already is. Processing personal data requires a legitimate basis. Freely given consent is one of those, and the reason these companies are being fined is because "freely given" requires symmetry in accepting/rejecting. Without the symmetry, the companies had no legal basis for processing the data, so they got these fines.

It is harder to prove "evil things" in general, but the first step is preventing users from being coaxed into agreeing to "evil things" (or rather, making clear that this is illegal and will be punished).
My own experience in Kazakhstan a few years ago was amazing — kind, generous people. I had the most surreal (but standard) Russian Bath experience: sitting with a bunch of naked folks as they self-flog with branches in rooms so hot you needed wool caps to keep the top of your head from singeing. When I was getting dressed a huge guy next to me said something in Russian, I was certain I had committed some bath faux pas, but then he repeated in heavily accented English: "Those boots, suitable in winter?"

Almaty was surprisingly cosmopolitan, walkable, felt eminently livable.

Took the train to Baikonur. Walked on the launch pad, visited the old control rooms. [0]

The whole way: Kindness and gentleness were the two words that kept bouncing around my head. In the middle of nowhere folks were driving sensibly (as opposed to, say, in Morocco where I felt like every car ride was a dice roll). I saw two cars have an accident in Almaty — the drivers calmly stepped out, shook hands, and discussed the situation.

Nur-Sultan was, however, miserable — built for cars, human antagonistic, artificial layout, depressing architecture.

I'd love to get back to Almaty.

Hoping for swift and peaceful resolution on all this.

I support the idea - but what is the typical use-case?

From what I see, people stop maintaining projects WELL before their death.
(With a few exception of really unexpected deaths at a young age - theirs and their project's.)

At the same time, for open-source project, one can fork them. Under a different leadership, the project usually changes a but.
Yeah I'd like this too. MBA M1 with the non-notch MBP 16" screen and speakers would be great.
Initially I thought they were muting the mic so that the key strokes would not be heard/recorded.

There has been talk in the past of inferring passwords based on the unique sounds of each key, time between strokes, etc... Moreover, the more frequently you do broadcast your password keystrokes, combined with all the other key stroking you do throughout the rest of your stream, the easier it becomes to come up with the password.

Now I'm not so sure that's what they meant?
Here's a hint:
Stop causing color revolutions in other coutries, that in turn create a power vacuum, which leads to chaos and anarchy.

Seriously, that is not hard. What makes you think FSA are "moderate" headchopers and how are they any better than Assad? Just because they have "Free" in the name? Such naive thinking.
The official guidence is that LFT are only to be used if you DO NOT have symptoms. If you have symptoms you should instead be getting a PCR (lab) test.

Official guidence:

> There are different tests you can get to check if you have coronavirus (COVID-19). The test you need depends on why you're getting tested.

> The 2 main tests are:

> PCR tests – mainly for people with symptoms, they're sent to a lab to be checked

> rapid lateral flow tests – only for people who do not have symptoms, they give a quick result using a device similar to a pregnancy test

> Both tests are free.

Could we not be disingenuous? If the delay was meaningless, it wouldn't exist. There is a clear intention by these companies to bore or confuse people into signing their rights away. Consider how many lawyers are on payroll or retention at these companies who are aware of the requirements of the law, then consider that G/FB made a cynical, calculated decision to ignore it.
Maybe imprisonment would be better. Just a few years to teach the lesson. I mean this developer knowingly aided in getting users to see more targeted ads!
Note that ads don't inherently need tracking. DuckDuckGo has ads, but no cookie banner - what ad to show is based purely on what you're searching for (and some other ephemeral data, like your location, I assume).
Except all statistics show that people who die from covid are the ones that were not vaccinated or were vaccinated but had a lot of other health problems.

If you are healthy and are vaccinated you may get sick but you have many, many times lower chance of being hospitalised.

It's an example of political recuperation.

It's kind of amazing the way woke culture got contorted so much compared to its radicalized origins and how it achieved widespread notoriety only after morphing into some sort of language policing movement with a nullified political impact.

Freedom and democracy is taken, not given. If you ever stop fighting, the government will become complacent and leech away a large part of an economy.
The wealthiest European countries have problems with rising energy prices (remember the French yellow vests?) so I'm interested to see how Kazakhstan thinks they can placate their citizens.

My own government is giving me €400 this winter which is nice.
Thankfully GDPR makes it pretty clear they’re not legally binding if they don’t follow the rules. And most consent forms don’t follow the rules.

> because it requires actively planning for your death (which some people do, of course, but most do not),

It is a thing everybody should do, though. Starting with a patient's provision stating which effort should be taken to keep you alive to a last will which should include not only statements about your property, but also includes requests on what to do with your body.

Having that clearly written down, takes away a lot of problems from your relatives, who otherwise have to take many decisions in short time.
Well, it's down now.

Foul play?
It’s not stupid to try to get you to explain the definition of “decentralized” you’re using to exclude a system commonly described as decentralized or get you to logically reason through the implications of that definition.

What nobody says is that effective January the 5th non-vaccinated people who haven't had COVID and have no valid PCR test are not permitted to visit molls, food supermarkets and non-food chain stores. The government also plans to block access to MFCs, banks, post offices etc.

I sort of agree in principle, but with some practical caveats that bother me.

I agree privacy is a good thing. I care about my privacy. However, it must be balanced against other things too. I care about my health as well, and won’t keep secrets from my doctors, or prohibit them from sharing information, as strictly necessary. So there’s a balance, nothing is absolute. Even my right to live isn’t absolute, if I threaten someone or am called by my country to fight in a war, that right is trumped by something larger.

Two, I’d argue the problem is more with the government than in the privacy. We form societies, with customs and governments, because somehow being together is better than in your own. In a democracy, the government is supposed to be for the people, not an enemy. I’m not a starry-eyed optimist, I’d just rather focus on “how do I fix government trust”, rather than “how do I better keep secrets from the government about a mundane daily activity such as driving”.

Finally, I’ve been tailgated, ran off the road, intimidated by too many morons on the road. Never had an accident bout could have done many times, possibly killing me and people I care about. Again, I prefer a right to get morons off the road to the illusory privacy - I’m already traceable to the government.

I’d rather focus on privacy safeguards. For example, if my data is accessed, it needs a court warrant, and if the investigation doesn’t lead to conviction, I am told about it, with a right to pursue unlawful use. I believe that’s how phone taps work in Europe - is this fundamentally different?
WebToons does have feeds, but they only show the first frame. Then you need to wait 10s for their shitty JS to load before it starts to download the comic.

I really want to make a scraper that will pull the full comic into the feed but don't want to play the cat-and-mouse game.
I think punishments for breaking privacy regulations and laws should be applied to those who break the spirit/intent of the law and not just the letter. Otherwise it's just an arms race, when one loophole closes another opens.

> Is a person hosting one eccentricity more likely to acquire another?

Absolutely. In life, most people are "normal", almost by the definition of normal, but there's a big penumbra of people who don't habitually and reflexively conform to normal. If you're a little bit odd, you spend effort suppressing it and actively conforming. In autistic circles, this is called "masking" for behaviors deemed autistic; in LGBT circles, this is called "passing", and so on. But once someone has fallen sufficiently far from the middle of the normal distribution that they can't pass, or can't be bothered to pass (it can be a lot of work), they stop trying to pass and you can spot all their non-normal behaviors.

(What is "normal" is of course culturally determined and varies by your local culture, social class, etc, and covers all sorts of things. Americans and Brits are told to hold forks differently, for example)
I like it. Time is fleeting, time is money, etc. Being reminded of some of these is cool, for the inclined.

On a more everyday note, it's very useful if you know you're approaching top of the hour and you've got a task or a meeting due precisely at :00.

You can control them via a smartphone, so assume that it will in time be as leaky as a colander. Some domain registration will elapse, some cracker will find an exploit, some security flaw left in because of usability taking preference, something like that.

The support for whatever cloud offering is backing these (and there will be, there always is, despite there being no need for it) will likely lapse before the furniture itself is used up. Does anyone believe you can install one of these and have it work for twenty years?

These things should not be connected to the internet.

I think you gravely misunderstand. Companies do not have to show cookie banners, if they have other legal grounds for processing user data. The intended effect of the law is actually just that: Companies processing only data they absolutely need to.

Your strategy for protesting the (totally sensible) EU law seems strange: "Let us openly break the law, let the EU announce that we broke the law, refuse to do anything about it, let the EU announce that they will fine us until we stop doing business in EU and then hope that the users take our side". Seriously, I'm interested in what PR message you intend to come up with that convinces users the EU is at fault for you mishandling people's data.

- Read the weekly syllabus BEFORE lectures, don't expect the lecturer to teach everything you need to know in those lectures. Meet up to your lectures religiously, by the time you're halfway into the semester, most of the class will not show up.

- Go the extra mile, don't just do that bare minimum. This means doing all the problems in your problem sets, including the "bonus" problems.

- Find someone to work/study with. It's incredible how much of learning comes through discussions with peers, and trying to figure out stuff together.

- Start on projects and take-home exams as early as possible. Something will come up, and some things will go wrong.

- Work consistently, make a schedule you can stick to. Cramming and pulling all-nighters is a terrible way to learning things.

- If you find some topic that really interests you, discuss it with the professor. Maybe they need some help, or know someone else - excellent time to get some light student research experience.

- Try to get experience as soon as possible. Start applying for internships and similar.

But most importantly: Enjoy your University years! Have fun, meet people, try new things. Join clubs. Also, be active...you'll join the workforce soon enough, and it's good to enter that stage of life with healthy routines.

Kazakh elite keeps its money in western banks, flies western planes to western capitals and owns land and property in top western locations. Same for Russian elite.

In the Cold War, dealing with Soviets was unthinkable. Now, the West is complacent, there is even a term for it, Schröderizatsiya. See this opinion piece by the former Estonian president [1].

We're calling ourselves software engineers, maybe we should have personal liability like professional engineers then as well.
Yep, literally translates as the first lady, but means the leading lady. They were the headliners that brought the crowds. If a show lost the primadonna, it lost the audience (and ticket sales) so they had much more bargaining power than the other performers.
Typing on a touchscreen is just so bloody slow, too. I can type reasonably fast on a physical keyboard without perfect touch typing, but I'd say I type about about 1/3 that speed max on a touch screen. If it's cold outside then that drops down to closer to 10%.

It's frustrating because as you've pointed out, for consumption, it's great. I can easily read a long email while out, but if I want to respond with anything beyond a short sentence or two, it's just so frustrating that I wait until I'm home at a real computer.
You are approaching all of these from the perspective of an engineer and not recognizing that ordinary people don't see products and systems the way you do (a mistake I also often make).

"2nd best to Netflix" is no slouch at all.

> I tried out Amazon Go a couple times and it just sucks? The selection is super tiny and honestly, I just prefer a self checkout with tap payments. I found myself constantly worrying if their camera system would correctly ring me up.

So - an intentionally-small-selection store has a small selection, your personal preferences don't line up with the (you must admit, extremely friction-free) checkout system, and you worried about a bug that (from the fact that you phrased it that way) didn't actually happen? Sounds like it's working extremely well for how it's designed!

(Disclaimer - I'm an Amazon employee, though I don't work on any of the discussed products, and frankly am pretty critical of them all both internally and externally too. But to claim that they're not successes _at the criteria that they are aiming for_ is mistaken)
Your phrasing makes me think you are not in the US so I can’t speak directly to how your university might do things. But CS is more about pen and paper and ideas than it is about writing code. Don’t presume that you are learning how to build software the way it is done in industry. That being said, the material is a solid foundation for learning how to think about logic and tradeoffs.

Hubris yes, but perhaps not wrong. I'm not sure if the progress between 1922-2022 was as significant as the progress between 1822-1922. These are two 100-year periods of immense progress.

Have in mind that he's referring to the 100 yr period that brought us cars, airplanes, railroads, telephones, light bulbs, electricity, electromagnetism, relativity, evolution, etc.
I often use my name instead of I in e-mails just in case the context who wrote it will be lost. I also often CC everyone I mention in the @-mail for transparency.
From a technological perspective, I'm not sure they're wrong? 1922 had railways and cars and mass transit which had already started increasing urbanisation vs 1822, skyscrapers were already being built, passenger air travel was a go, telephones and electricity existed in cities.

The internet and computing is certainly a big shift, but from a visible changes to the world perspective I think 2022 is more alike 1922 than 1922 was alike 1822.
The Perl community is horrible, that is the real reason. Criticism about Perl readability and other Perl language meme critics are easily debunked myths. the Perl language semantics and logic is fantastic and easily readable after you LEARN it. The Perl interpreter is fantastic, performs great and have very helpful warnings and strictures.

However the community is untalented, they historically produce very bad code, it all started with Matt's script archive. They do create horrible sites, PerlMonks is a good example, It looks horrible and its usability is horrible. The code posted by PerlMonks users is mostly very bad. CPAN that is often pointed as positive is just a mostly poorly documented repository of very bad code. There are very few usable modules on CPAN.

Perl community has also written some of the worst technical books ever.

Talent attracts talent, that is the reason Perl is dead for any kind of usage and Python is popular.
