I found this explanation helpful when I was developing a clone [1]

Better search is not the issue, it distorts the spirit, google became the focus of attention, now you want to be listed and seen, to monetize too.. before that people spent less time formatting stuff to exist. The word of mouth levels is a different (maybe more fertile) soil.
Business pepe works just say the minimum is name, email address, etc. is the minimum in that case... And if you don't provide it, the site won't work
> Which will probably be a nice deterrent against them pulling the same shit again.

Unfortunately, there are reasons they want these cookies on there so badly that justify the cost to figure out how to comply with the policy and try again.
There are multiple modules compatible with the RPi CM3 (such as the ones used for the Devterm) and CM4 form factors. Those already can be used this way.

Since these little boards are underpowered, it'd be interesting to have a board with multiple network-connected boards (like the Pi and Pine64 cluster boards) so you could offload work to other nodes in your laptop cluster.
You can get a hightech offgrid mobile tiny house in Arizona, California, Portugal or Spain with a large roof water tank for thermal mass. Soon we will start offering this Skytherm addition so you can regulate the water temperature, but first we want to build this first prototype.
The Fiberhood Coop construct the custom "software defined" tiny houses in Spain and ships them worldwide.
I agree that Google is at fault here for failing Firefox. But Firefox is guilty of failing its users. Why should the functioning of a browser be dependent on telemetry working? It sounds like if there is high enough latency in their telemetry, or if request for telemetry start failing, it's possible for that to disrupt using the network stack at all. They have a massive design flaw, and they didn't even mention that in the article. Maybe they have good reasons for designing a single point of failure that relies on a cloud provider, but it's not clear what those might be since they don't address it.
How much data is that? How do we know? It's not clear to me how the ICCL will know that "all data collected" is deleted. Even if the IAB is sanctioned or you storm their datacenters, the ICCL said that the tracking industry collected data through the IAB. How is the ICCL going to ensure that the tracking industry deletes the collected data?
If they can not prove that data was not gained by illegal means, the only way would be to delete all data.
https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ goes kind of in that direction. It's a rebranded Do Not Track header, but referencing specific privacy rights under GDPR/CCPA. That hopefully makes it enforceable, whereas advertisers could just ignore Do Not Track.
I was a little confused at first but seeing your comment makes it clear, thank you.
Judging by the pattern, the founder?

I want one for "If your business model is advertisement, get off my Internet".
It was intended to fail gracefully. It was a bug. They did fix the bug, involving a complicated interaction between different parts of the network stack. But "we should try harder not to have bugs" is, rightfully, seldom considered a valuable "lesson learned".
Why do you blame journalists rather than media owners? Do you believe this is a change brought about by journalists themselves?
> All of these things taken together create an information asymetry. One by one they aren't neccessarily that terrible, but by accumulating all this information - for which there is constant pressure by the more authoritarian elements of our societies - creates a digital me, that absolutely has an effect on my day to day life.

Well said.
> My point about Microsoft is that, had they not supported Rust themselves, it's likely nobody would have bothered with Rust projection for WinRT. That shows that even the OS devs lack the "strength" to enforce these things.

Nope, it shows that Rust would be irrelevant for most Windows shops, and Microsoft wants to use Rust instead of C++ in certain workloads like they are already shipping on Azure IoT.

Same thing with Android and Fuchsia, good luck using your C glue there.
I think it's charming. :)

They have links for every single mechanical keyboard they review or list. What is their incentive to give better reviews to some than others?

This is probably a better example: https://www.mechtype.com/xiaomi-yuemi-pro-mk02-review/#more-...

There are some basic economic realities underpinning why most people take the time to create content like this. I don't think it's reasonable to assume that just because someone expects to make a small amount of money from creating a review like that (with either affiliate links or buy links), that that person's opinion is inherently at conflict with honesty just because there's a monetary element. It may be true for many sites and many people, but it's pretty straightforward to parse whether someone is writing a review earnestly and passionately rather than for $.
Also, during the unrest of 2020 dozens of credentialed journalists were assaulted by government forces, including in many places by state and local police that were backstopped with federal agents.

would be interesting to see if a UBI actually caused more people to move to states like Wyoming and Montana. Many people too poor to actually move (lack of deposit, moving costs, etc.) would actually have the funds to move if they saved ubi for a few months. Leaving a HCOL for a LCOL state with a UBI would be a life changer for people if they were willing to do so.
Well ...

b) If society is simply behaving in a way that maximizes short-term profits, we're doomed (or doomeder?). The good news is that there is a ton of evidence that this behavior is tempered by at least a little bit of thought for the future.

c) Companies still recognize that "customer goodwill" is a valuable asset even though it's neither quantifiable or convertible.

I don't understand why this list does not have Sedgewick, Wayne's book Algorithms.

That book was as good as a book gets.

It really explains concepts and teach algorithms to you, and not shying away from the math.

I would always suggest the combination of SW, Skiena, and DPV to learn and get a full picture of Algorithms.
> I wish there was an HTTP header that meant "I don't give a shit about what you do with my data, just let me get the information I want from this website".

I'm OK with that as long as there is an equivalent HTTP header which means "NO! Do not track anything, do not profile, do not collect any information besides the bare minimum PROVEN to be essential for the site to function at all. Either something's truly essential or it isn't, there is NO Legitimate Interest category".

Unlike the failed Do Not Track header, this one should actually have legal teeth (well, at least in EU) and sites which refuse any service to visitors carrying this header should be fined (after a grace period to implement any needed changes). And why not, add provisions to pierce the corporate veil so they can't set up a hollow company to take the fall for noncompliance.

Remember, you can still show ads and profit from them, you can't just violate my privacy and vacuum all my data to Feed The Beast.

If you haven’t read it, I recommend trying. The language and form is difficult, but just treat it like a scramble down a hill: maintain direction, pay attention to your surroundings, but mostly just go with the flow.
I would say it's less important for our leaders to be at the coalface and coding / learning to code than for them to know what's possible.

During the last industrial revolution, the leaders who we all hear about weren't directly involved in building the machines which automated processes. Rather, they were experts at leveraging skills of people who could do it.

The scary thing is that it's the EU doing this. Our national elected governments are not interested in actually fixing things like this because it doesn't immediately win votes, and there is only a limited number of national civil servants so nobody is working on this kind of thing on a national scale.

But put those civil servants in a committee in Brussels with not as much short term pressure, and they can work out regulations that achieve the right thing.
> Attorney General Eric Holder directed the Department of Justice to aggressively prosecute government employees who discussed classified information with reporters. In 2012, after news organizations reported on U.S. drone strikes and attempts to disable Iranian nuclear reactors, Holder assigned two U.S. attorneys to track down the journalists’ sources.

I've found some talk about a Fox News reporter being investigated, but I don't see anything anywhere (yet) about any reporters being arrested. Can you cite your sources, please?

This comment is being downvoted but I’m also wondering: how will this be enforced? Will authorities go and audit the data? How will they know where to look? Etc.
“Hey did you delete the data?”
“Yes, we deleted it”
would, indeed, be laughable. This is not to mention the problem of identifying “the data” which has certainly now been processed ad nauseum. I think the reason companies don’t take these things seriously is because they know they’ll get away with it, one way or another. You can’t expect to enforce any of this if you don’t also legislate the technical specifics of how data must be collected, stored and processed so that its provenance is maintained.
Why not Waze then? It's where google buys traffic data anyway. You also get police / speedcam etc locations and reporting.
This looks like a really great tool! Is it possible to control the contents of the WebView through script and turn off the interactivity / keyboard?
Same problem happened with me. When I opened the page with Edge/Chrome everything loaded in an instant.
I’m not sure how true this is, many types of data have diminishing returns after a few months. I’d be surprised if they lost money compared to not using these methods —- they’ve just lost the tail of incremental value.

This ruling should not be a surprise.

The writing has been on the wall for a long time that GDPR informed consent is to be interpreted in a narrow sense (i.e. actually being informed, not just clicking). And we know EU legal measures often take a long time but can bite hard. So here we are now!

[Edit]: Note that the decision can be appealed - so it's going to be a long while before we get a final verdict.
I can tell you that new users like Gutenberg. It is us, the old shortcode style users, that have/had a problem with it. It took me some time to switch to it but I must say that I like it now.

Things like copy/paste from Google docs with keeping all of relevant the styles and links works. And I guess that a bunch of users is doing that - using WP as a platform for distribution of content.
Isn't this already possible with uBlock and just configuring it to not allow you to go to sites that have any trackers at all?
Sure, the machine could "make a call" and pick a way of doing things, but that machine wouldn't be the one supporting the resulting code for years afterward. Past a certain point, some technical decisions become value judgements because of their impact on humans.

We are talking about science here, not about Biblical #fakenews. Inbreeding is as destructive as wars and atomic bombs. Adam (plural for "men"!) was created (cloning) in about 600 - 800 people, to avoid inbreeding. Other races (Adams returned to mate with "animals" according to Gilgamesh Epic) but GMO people without body hair survived. Recent theories suggest that Homo Sapiens Sapiens is in fact the GMO of Neanderthal People who, at some point, mate with the remaining pure Neanderthals. Mixed race (Neanderthal - GMO Adam) have little body hair and bigger penis than, say, Amerindians. Women's choice.
One thing that's contradictory to what you've said that's caused me to ignore recruiters is that they misrepresent the opportunity even when the criteria doesn't match up. I've dealt with a few that I've told "this doesn't fit my criteria" and they're very insistent that the company is looking for people, not skills, and I should interview anyway. Ultimately this is a lie and I'll end up wasting everyone's time. I've done probably 30 interviews via recruiter and never landed a single position. All my positions have been the result of me just applying directly or through referrals.
Unpopular opinion: neither, unless you're looking for a very specific skillset. There's so much talent outside of Bay Area, why limit your pool?

Apple Inc vs. Apple-Man: trial proceeding. My message to Apple [video]
The industry should really get together and set up something like P3PP but good. These settings should be set in the browser, not in the client.

Of course the ad and web stalking people don't want that, because that means users can easily opt out. With Google's misguided attempt to force FLOC down everyone's throats we may see them join forces with Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla at some point to develop a consent protocol that can be configured easily without the stupid popups.

For example, the browser could hide all the requested consent in a little button in the top right that opens into a menu to let the user pick what they do or do not consent to for what parties (with UI to show the necessary reasons for processing), with defaults configurable in the settings. The defaults would differ per browser of course (probably opt-in on Firefox and Safari, opt-out in Chrome and Edge) but it'd still work out for users because they could change the defaults.

Hell, with the rate HTTP is evolving (bodies in GET requests, QUERY, etc.) I can see a HTTP CONSENT verb coming to http4 eventually.

There are definitively other concerns with such a protocol, like the ability for malicious actors to use it for fingerprinting, but I think it's the only way forward for browsers. Big tech has ignored legislation for a while now, but if they don't show initiative the law will only get worse for them.

I bet the EU would happily list such a protocol as a requirement for most websites. People like you could just blanket allow everything, people like me could blanket block everything, and we'd all get rid of these stupid popups forever.
In a police state, privacy is elusive.

Great question. The major difference is that you need to add people to Circles to see from and share to them, the entire UX is focused on Circles.

Often people don't use the list feature on Facebook because a core product assumption of Facebook is that everyone you add is your friend, and lists are not a priority in the Facebook experience. The Facebook sharing experience is also centred around engagement, where more numbers makes you look better. So users have the option of using lists on Facebook but there's little incentive placed there.

Lists also don't have much impact what you see. This means on Facebook the vast, vast majority of content still comes from people you don't really care about and random content accounts from businesses and influencers. So secondarily, Circles feed is simply chronological and only contains direct content from people you have added to a circle.
Start by explaining how fictitious claims of stable coins being backed by fiat is anything other than blatant fraud.

Casually mention that the entire crypto market is built around this stable coin fantasy which is involved in more than half of all trades.

Then move on to how "exchanges" are self appointed market makers with unknown financial backing, completely unregulated and wide open to collusion and fraud on a market wide scale.
great article, I really appreciate it! sorry that the knuckleheads here got caught up on privacy instead of discussing this interesting technology

Also, in loading ads from these vendors, many often included external JS to whatever flavor-of-the-month adtech vendors or trackers they were using.

These were often not even listed in the framework. There was little-to-no compliance/auditing that I am aware. It was business as usual for many ad networks.

I will gloss over the way you speak about Israeli losses. I am pretty sure you wouldn't speak like that ("only 13+67 dead, oh the pity!") if it were your country.

But logically this way of measuring harmfulness is idiotic. Hamas couldn't make more victims precisely because Israel had a lot of defensive and offensive systems to prevent that. All those systems are expensive financially, militarily, from a PR perspective, in term of personnel. It's like arguing guns are not dangerous since the usual targets wear a bulletproof vest anyway. A single Iron Dome counter missile costs 40000-100000 USD, for example. Hamas has tens of thousands of rockets which cost 1000 USD at best each.

Collecting and selling digital data is not a legitimate business enterprise. It’s spyware.

If no one wants to pay for your product, the market has spoken. Too bad.

We must correct the insanity and digital economic imbalance that spyware businesses have created.
Ignoring your sarcasm and focusing on your second point :

One big example is SpaceX. I don’t think they’d be as successful as they are right now if they didn’t have some of that initial funding from NASA to help them bootstrap to where they are today.

This is one stellar example of how federal research funding dollars can generate positive societal benefits through the transfer to private industry.

Of course there are some companies that just siphon federal dollars without much to show in return, but for SpaceX they have really returned multiples on those initial “investments”.
>The main thing I'd like to see changed is that consent dialogs should be a built-in browser feature with a standardized interface that all websites were required to use instead of coming up with their own.

I love that idea. Something like Apple's nutrition labels but with check boxes next to data uses. However this is only good if it's legally enforceable since there is no API that would prove/verify data is used the way it's been given permission to.
Maybe they are not diligent or dedicated enough? Have you really met anyone who wanted to actually put effort into something, had no barriers (lack of money / family support / etc) and didn't manage to do it?

For me the answer is I've only seen it where there is an absurdly narrow selection process: professional sports (all of them), admission to certain universities (Ivy League/Oxbridge), certain specific jobs (SEAL team, investment banks, etc).

For everything where there's no gatekeeper, I'd only count out very few people from the start.
