Apple did that with their tracking preventer and something like 96% of people left it that way.

Off would be rare, and those people would be the ones who wanted to be tracked anyways.
In the case of Azerbaijan, my understanding is that western European companies have just blanket bribed more or less every official they interact with up and down the Azeri government for the past few decades, to help them set up contracts that are grossly unfair to the Azeri public. Oil money that does go to Azerbaijan gets embezzled away, with those companies’ knowledge and implicit support.

I haven’t heard of anyone from e.g. BP getting punished for this, though I believe the British government asked it to investigate itself a few times.

Ahead of a planned surgery, visited the internist who would be taking care of things post surgery. He stated flat out that doctors and medicine do not heal. His idea was that the body heals itself. He saw it as his goal to make sure that any medical interventions did not prevent that. Excellent doctor.
ISIS (and Al-Qaeda) are predictable, convenient excuses for keeping dictatorships in the Muslim world. Before ISIS took over Raqqah and other territory in Syria and Iraq, it was the FSA (Free Syrian Army), not Assad, who kicked ISIS out of Aleppo and the Damascus countryside. When Putin intervened in 2015, the overwhelming majority of airstrikes targeted the FSA and civilian areas outside the control of both Assad and ISIS (https://www.newsweek.com/more-90-percent-russian-airstrikes-...). For Putin and Pals, ISIS is the gift that keeps on giving.

I disagree. We don't need a technical solution to a people problem. If you start going on the level of how to use individual mechanisms, companies will develop new ones which are not going to be covered by law.

Especially accepting tracking should NOT, under any circumstances, be automated.
I think this is mainly a side effect of the kind of work being performed at companies has leaned over the decades towards an increasingly bimodal skills distribution, and the entry level work's sophistication is eroding from advances in automation and continuous improvement feedback loops.

For example, I see at all of my clients entry level help desk positions to do things like help with provisioning a new employee's Wintel laptop, answer internal software packaging problems, intake VPN trouble reports, that sort of activity. But not nearly as much as when I entered the industry, because so much has been automated away or folded into centralized management systems, and the trend continues with advances in desktop engineering. On the other hand, I see an explosion of demand for the desktop engineering team positions.

This is being reflected in many other IT areas as far as I can tell. There is a constant push these days at all my clients to automate all repetitive work, and a much bigger appetite from leadership to automate entry level work even when the ROI payoff is longer than 1-4 fiscal quarters than when I started. The push isn't due to direct labor savings though: it is to drive down variance of configurations exposed to the more senior and expensive roles, so the real high-payoff automation can really shine, and they can reduce business-as-usual work hours remediating the impact from those variances.

Apple's App Tracking Transparency (if that's what you're referring to, as opposed to Intelligent Tracking Prevention) doesn't even default to anything. It asks you and gives you two equally-prominent options, but indeed even in that case the acceptance rate is still just 4% which I assume is either misclicks or ad-tech people.

Isn't crack made from cocaine? Didn't crack destroy many communities, neighborhoods, cities, families, etc...? Aren't we as a society still struggling with the long term effects of this crisis?

What's to stop a similar kind of crisis if cocaine was legalized? Why wouldn't a significant number of users turn to its more formidable (my assumption) and potent form if cocaine was legalized?

Just to clarify, I'm not arguing that cocaine shouldn't be legalized, just genuinely curious.

It's also an admittance that, apparently, all the other cookies that they would like to set constitute "illegitimate interests".

They're not actually cookie permission pop-ups (that was a previous law IIRC), they're much broader consent pop-ups about handling user data. You don't really have any assurance they're not tracking you after declining, but it would at least be grossly illegal.

Ah, the days of trawling through ARCHIE listings to find an interesting-sounding file name, sending an email request to somewhere at umich.edu using a bang address, and receiving a dozen replies each containing sequentially-named uue files.

Manually strip the mail headers and paste the uue files together, run them through uudecode, and get a nifty file in Spectrum512 or Targa format that you can ogle on the screen of your Atari ST.

I think of those days every time I use `git am`. I doubt it's a coincidence.

On a somewhat related note: It was only last week the guys over at pin64 have announced the release of their keyboard-case for the PinePhone (https://www.pine64.org/2021/12/31/happy-new-year-the-keyboar...)

Now even though this might (as of yet) be an non-perfect substitute for a consumer-ready phone it still goes to show that reports of the death of smartphones featuring a physical keyboard are (greatly) exaggerated. So if you're in the market for a physical keyboard and want to support the development of a FOSS-driven smartphone this may be for you.

note: I have no affiliation with pine64 whatsoever, just a tad nostalgia mixed with the hopes of loosening google/apple stranglehold of the mobile market
No, the websites choosing to disregard both spirit and letter of the law are plain stupid.
If we had the technology to implant tamper-proof devices in people that recorded location, audio and video, and some basic bio data, but that data could only be be made available to law enforcement under specific circumstances, would you really see a problem with making that mandatory for everybody?

It would be a great tool for crime solving. Almost all violent crimes and property crimes could be immediately solved by data mining when and where a person was killed or injured or property was damaged or stolen, who else was around.

Why would it be a different story?

> these vaccines have only limited use

It's clear that the vaccines don't confer total immunity. They do change the course of the infection if you contract it, though. As you'd expect: they induce your immune system to create antibodies.

Spend even a few minutes browsing stories from ICU nurses and you'll conclude that pretty much all their admissions are unvaccinated.

Vaccinated => get sick
Unvaccinated => get very sick, maybe die

That seems like a great utility to me.

The key to it was having everything go through their servers, to their client app on the phone. The problem is that more messaging apps came to prominence (WhatsApp, Slack, arguably instagram and snapchat, etc), they wanted to own their UX and didn't want messages coming through their service to get munged together into a generic feed through someone else's servers and into someone else's client app.
It wouldn't need to be individual action if we just made a union.

Fun fact: in Japan, from what little I've seen, quite a few young kids (think till lower elementary school) tend to speak in third person, and is generally seen as "cute". However, it sounds just as much unnatural (or even annoying unless the person is known to have some sort of issue) to speak in the third person for other age groups, especially working adults.
That's definitely fair, there does seem to still be plenty of worthwhile problems that require interesting code.

It's mostly way above my level though, so for now I'll stick to solving the trivial stuff, so the real geniuses can get back to work.

Nobody might ever say "Wow that's some great code", in fact they'll probably say it's bloated and mediocre... but they'll be glad I thought to put an override button for that one edge case of the super trivial thing they thought was fine!

Sorry, but it sounds like a cheap attempt to accuse the other party of propaganda and use the "whataboutism" card.

I don't see anything whataboutism'y where one accuses a foreign state interfering in another state. (and I personally find Kazahstan's idea that rioters received foreign military training funny, since it's the cheapest excuse ex-USSR governments use when people are tired of the same people ruling the country for 20-30 years and start protesting)

For it to be whataboutism, it should include something along the lines of "What about... ?" that discredits an opponent with their own hypocrisy.

I just set one monitor to 100% and the other (4k) to 200%. In fact I think that choice was originally made for me but you can change it.

When I first started using it a couple of years ago you'd get old artifacts when moving a window from one monitor to another. e.g. the mouse pointer could be the wrong size.

Over the years, like many things on Linux, it's got more polished.

Now it just works.

What way of holding wealth is any better in this aspect?
Are you able to find a single government, democratic or not, in human history that did not debase their currency? It’s the story of every failure of every empire.

Humans, and by extension governments cannot be trusted with the money supply. It is just human nature. I don’t think control of issuance of currency is even a matter of democracy — for it is not the people that elect the chair of the central banks, the imf, the bis. People have no say in the monetary policy, it is thrust upon them by the unelected. If the individual could have a choice, would any democratic candidate be bound to follow their wishes? So, instead, we bypass this. Step outside the system where it cannot be corrupted.

You trust humans and governments too much. I trust math. Math won’t let you down like humans will.

Imagine if they were dumped into the ocean how good of a headline that would be.

"The drugs were dumped into the ocean. The ocean, weighing 4.9x10E21 pounds, according to Google, means we just stopped 4.9x10E21 (plus a few) pounds of drugs from reaching the public. As we all know, this is the official standard measurement procedure used by police in the US.

Cocaine has a street price estimate of $120 per gram on average according to Google. Because of how averages and math work (no source needed), we can just double that to $240 per gram to get the highest price out of the average.

To convert grams to pounds, we just multiply by 453.59237. This means 1 pound of cocaine costs $108,862.17.

4.9x10E21 pounds, multiplied by $108,862.17 per pound means we just stopped $533,424,633,000,000,000,000,000,000 worth of cocaine from going to the general public. This is the low estimate, because it does not even include the weight and price of the original drugs or the shipping container it was in. We truly are godly and just heroes on this day."

Because they tried it, and it was ignored.

Anyone who actually worked on browser engines knew it was bullshit that the big internet advertisers (google, Facebook, etc) were using to deflect whichever privacy disaster was in the press at the time.

The rule required DNT not be enabled by default. It was optional for advertisers to follow it, and it was very clear that if there was any significant population that enabled DNT the advertisers would start ignoring it.

And they did. They went even further: they used the DNT state to to track users.

Nothing like this on the client side has any value unless it is made illegal to ignore such flags, and that is actually enforced.

However WebSub requires that you have an "always online" device to receive the notification and very few feeds and readers support pagnation.

> The difference is the victim. In a malware scenario, cc’s it’s the card holder, with cryptocurrency it’s the vendor that is getting screwed.

This makes no sense. The CC holder isn't screwed, they are mildly inconvenienced while they wait for a replacement card. It doesn't matter how many months after a breach it happens - the person who ends up without money is whe merchant who the fraudster used the stolen card with, because they will get a chargeback fee and lose stock (if they sent it out before chargebacks happen).

The vendor isn't screwed in in the cryptocurrency situation. The vendor isn't out of pocket (except for losing a sale). The person who sent the money to the hacked address (i.e you) are. Maybe the vendor will decide to send you the product anyway because their site got hacked, but that would be entirely up to them and not a function of the payment method used.

I can see how it might aid early detection. But I don't see how in that scenario you're safer using Bitcoin. The malware could be on the customers computer rather than the website. It could only be altering one in every 100 transactions. It could not be malware, it could just be a vendor selectively scamming. There are many nice features in cryptocurrency, but consumer protection is not one of them and it's a weird thing to espouse.
Speaking of Amazon, does anyone have any insight into working conditions, etc in the AWS cloud support jobs? Interviewing for this soon.
Yes!. Having good soft skills is really important, notably being able to do a confident presentation. I was painfully nervous of such things while at Uni and usually managed to avoid them, but eventually had to bite the bullet in industry. Because I started work in a research group that evaluated new software / concepts for the rest of the company, it was literally my job to communicate technical findings to non-technical people. To my surprise, I found that I could in fact stand up in a room and present, and eventually I came to enjoy it. I realised that I would have got better in academia had I started this earlier, and used the relatively benign Uni environment as a practice arena, as it were.

Not everything in life is a conspiracy, and people often rebel spontaneously against their government. Not every revolution in a country ruled by Putin and Pals is waiting for The White House to give the green light.

Also, did the US tell the regime in Kazakhstan to raise oil prices? That was, obviously, not the people’s only grievance, but it was the spark that lead to the protests and rebellion.

The “US meddling” excuse is a tired cliche, and insulting to the people who put their lives on the line to fight oppressive, corrupt regimes.

"Backed by the west" is a common conspiracy theory pushed by Russian government. You should be asking yourself who's benefiting. The west does not benefit from anything related to those states, all oil they produce first flows through Russia. Russia benefits by having these states as basically feudal subservient states that they can extort for profit.

(I will note that most western oil comes from the middle east with Europe also getting a decent amount from Russia.)
