I highly recommend video by Sabine Hossenfelder [1] on this topic. She's explaining the topic in layman terms, starting from what does it mean to exist (or be real) in physical sense.

Complex numbers, as useful as they are, just an abstraction, a tool which can be replaced with different forms of calculations. That makes the question of "reality" rather complex (pardon the pun).

>It could be argued

I, for one, would not like to argue this in court. I heard many lawyers advising against storing IP addresses.

And yes, long-term analytics are a no-no. So good luck comparing your website performance year to year or even detecting seasonality.
best reply ever, totally made my day.
Ah yes, relying on a single entity for authentication of the purchases in the market.

Thanks for the feedback!

I will add the per-page stats to the Roadmap, as I think it's a useful feature.

I agree, the UI can be greatly improved, and it is something that I will be working on soon, especially making sure all the edge-cases are covered.

Regarding the screenshots, the long page-name indeed breaks the UI, but normally you wouldn't search for a specific page including all the query parameters, you would add something like "/pricing*" (so it matches all visitors that visited the pricing page, regardless of the query parameters). I am still not sure whether I should separate query parameters from URL path, I did consider it but many pages use query parameters to display a different page/content (e.g. /article?id=5, where changing the id of the article leads to a completely different page, maybe I could by default exclude all query parameters and then have the option to keep custom an allow-list).
Is everything we do not socially unnatural though? Remote work? Video calls, social media, online forums? What, other than living in hunter-gatherer societies is not socially unnatural for humans?
I'm using Deviceplane for this right now - it's designed for embedded linux machines but could be used on any linux distro. Is anyone else using Deviceplane still? It seems the project has gone dead, though the website and github pages are still up.

I like it because of the easy web interface, and ability to tag / organize machines. Authentication is really simple.

Very similar situation. It started a few years ago and I ignored it until it got really bad last year. I couldn't work more than a few hours a day and any gaming, forget that.

If I were to describe the pain it would be 100/100. Here's how I got it down to 5 and sometimes 0 on a good day.

1. I did 5 weeks of shock therapy on my wrists, I didn't notice much after the first two weeks, just some slight alleviation, maybe to about 85/100, the third week I noticed incredible differences, my hands felt like new.

2. I stopped using my wrist rest as I found it added to the pressure on my right wrist and the keyboard hand rest the same on my left and started a bit of more hover typing (no contact with my wrist or hands on the desk), takes some getting uses to but no press point really helps.

3. I invested in an ergonomic mouse, I used the logitech mx ergo [1] with the trackball, took about 2 weeks to get used to but once you do there's no going back (your hand doesn't move and sits in a comfortable spot). If i'm gaming or doing anything time critical I might switch back to a regular mouse but I make sure to move my arm and not my wrist, I also want to try a vertical mouse one day as well.

4. I got a massage gun [2] and heated glove that I use a few times a week as well as exercising my hands frequently, stretches and curls with light weights.

I'd say the biggest turning point was shock therapy however, when I did the actual reading on it and what my physical therapist explained to me, there is a median nerve that gets pinched [3] and that's the cause of the majority of the pain for most cases. Sometimes it originates from the shoulder and neck area but that's where the massage gun comes in handy in not letting my upper body muscles get too tight. Shockwave therapy is expensive and I will likely do it a few times a year just because but the massage gun with the jolting is a close alternative.

I really hope this post helps someone because the above did wonders for me and I preach it to everyone I can. It took only ~4 months to basically nullify years of pain and improve my QoL.

You don’t have to. Getting paid from something you disrespect is more or less okay and ubiquitous. It doesn’t even have to be symmetrical. I bet that ads are the way they are not because ads bigcorps are 99% stupid, but because it actually 99% works better than we fantasize here about how nice and discovery ads could be. It doesn’t work for you, but it probably does for average Joe, so put it on your site and use adblock.
In general Kioxia are making SSDs (NVME and otherwise) as well as USB drives and SD cards. I'm guessing this affects the whole range.
" we've let a bunch of politicians and cable TV/internet/podcast hacks claim that it's not serious so that a significant fraction of the population ends up actively spreading the disease and providing reservoirs for it to mutate."

This is sort of a half truth. You can still spread it if vaccinated.
Dealing with Multiple Kwargs in Python
Potentially, yes, though this hasn't been tested in court yet.
The thing is, I’m not sure preventing the spread is realistic. Unless you move to the country or to outer space, and never receive any mail or goods, you will always be in contact with, or in the vicinity of, something that has been in contact with, or in the vicinity of, someone else.

Honestly, this is kinda scary. Some of the concepts that are stored in close proximities feel like they tell... stories. Possibly very individual ones.

For example, this is the "tag cloud" for voxel [26,35,42] right ("Good, very reliable"):

> housekeeper, landlord, husband, wife, refused, apartment, husband's, parents, wife's, jail, bedroom, servant, family, pregnant, insisted, wives, refusing, pleaded, lawyer, ill

Here's another one ([22,42,31] right):

> wife, husband, afterwards, afterward, aunt, staying, months, weeks, slept, waited, month, leaving, leave, until, pregnant, decided, date, hadn't, wife's, stay

Like, it doesn't seem that far from here to something like "your brain connects child, death and jail very strongly - did you murder a child?"...

Of course, I'm theorizing ideas into research that I know very little about. But if it's true, it's hard to put back into the box...

> Microsoft Office is nice, but not nice enough to pay for when Apache OpenLibre Office .org works enough.

I disagree. LibreOffice (which I DO use on a few machines) is still miles behind the latest features in MS Office. MS Office 100% designed around collaborative working these days, with live document sharing and editing, teams integration, cloud saving etc.

Plus some of the latest design options in PowerPoint are simply amazing and Excel has some great time-saving features.

I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, as I do believe in using the right tool regardless who makes it, but in large organisations there's no way you can use LibreOffice seriously.
The interesting thing these days is the EV category. As charging infrastructure improves, it will be interesting to see how times approach those of traditional ICE cars.

This must be a regional thing.

You pretty much[1] NEVER see anyone just blow a light in the northeast. Ignore a no right on red sign or squeak a few extra cars through as a yellow turns red, sure. But I've never seen anybody ever just barrel through an established red like a truck that's lost its brakes in a Russian dash-cam video. Not during the pandemic, not ever.

[1] By "pretty much" I mean "literally, but I'm covering my ass lest everyone chime in with that anecdote from a police chase in downtown Boston that you saw on the news in 1998".
Maybe not directly, but analytics is what allowed Google to "see" the whole internet, with some help of Chrome. These 2 products allowed Google to track the majority of the internet traffic for the past 15 years.
rqlite author here.

It's not quite what rqlite does. rqlite is a distributed database, and it uses SQLite as its storage engine. But it's not a drop-in, distributed, version of SQLite (but it's close, as SQLite is basically fully exposed).

But is "Wait for a possible but incredibly unlikely series of events to occur" really a solution?
So why cant i ask my website users to AGREE on google analytics usage the first time they arrive? Its up to them to accept or not.
This is terrifying. I wonder how this will pan out with all the children who got COVID in the last two years.
> And now you're saying that the term "Europe" actually does include other, non-EU countries... Quite confusing, to be honest, what your point here is.

I don't even understand clearly what we are arguing about. The term "Europe" has different meanings depending on context and speaker, as this thread seems to evidence clearly. All I'm saying at the core is that it's really not exceptional to consider overseas France as part of Europe, and this is actually done all the time here in France.

Regarding the use of "EU" vs. "Europe" our experience clearly differs, but I have to take offense at your claim that my experience is wrong, having lived most of my life in several countries of the EU myself.

Just as another datapoint, look at Wikipedia's disambiguation page for Europe[0]:

Europe may also refer to [...] European Union, a European political supranational entity that excludes Russia and several other eastern European countries.

I've been looking for this for a long while.

I am surprised that there are no browsers that can support other languages. My ideal architecture is to have a browser where you can select your front-end language interpreter, as in a Chromium + V8 + CPython + Whatever front-end processor you might want (Brython[0] achieves this, but transpiling to JavaScript).

What doesn't make sense to me is that JavaScript has genuinely been the only language for the front-end, and it has been a monopoly for many years. Of course, there are other great languages like TypeScript, but these end up anyway transpiled to JavaScript, which to me feels like mounting your skyscraper over dunes. Not to hate on JavaScript, but JavaScript has grown too quirky for my tastes and that's why I've been away a lot from front-end development.

There are efforts to fix it, with the new ECMA standards, but I don't feel it's going anywhere unless breaking changes are introduced to modernize the language. The fact that you have to "patch" your scripts with 'strict mode' on the top of the file speaks a lot of being defensive with programming.

WASM is a solution to this, except you're not supposed to write WASM yourself. I want web development to be more straightforward, like the old days, where you didn't have to "compile" or "package" anything, and you just did your thing, and that worked.

I'm not trying to defend ads in general, but one problem that a recommender engine certainly suffers from is how to deal with a new entity. How do you make a new entrant gets into that list even though, while they may provide value, there's currently no evidence of that are far as the recommender is concerned?
They are fantastic! He has many more of those incredible illustrations in all of his posts.

If this is actually true I think it has far reaching implications. I have many questions about this approach but lets take it slow for the French example:

* Is there a list of these "things" if not how is anyone to know?

* Who is policing this ?

* How do you get advice in your own language (not French google translate does a terrible job at translating lawyer speak)?

* What are the consequences if you don't comply ?
The cost is borne by every single internet user in EU clicking countless stupid boxes every single day - for nothing.

Also by the EU users losing access to ad-supported free services.
For who needs a summary of what is happening in the EU [1]

1. Since 2020, it's illegal to send personal data to the US because of the invalidation of the Privacy Shield [2]

2. Google said it was okay in the EU to use anonymized IP addresses

3. The Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB) [3] ruled differently and waived most of the arguments raised by Google. The DSB ruled that even anonymized IP addresses are personal data.

4. The Data Protection Authority of The Netherlands followed by implying that the use of Google Analytics might be banned in the future [4]

5. Now, the Data Protection Authority of France (CNIL) followed

This is a sound decision, but not a new one. It's a confirmation of what has been ruled in July 2020, but now it seems to have more impact.

6.5 million in equivalent 1-terabyte units (note that NAND chips tend to be 64-512GB, the unit is just to illustrate approximate loss). However, I'm reading it beyond the 6.5 exabytes since that the WD press release (or any Kioxia statement) did not state that the production has been resumed, so I'm assuming it's actually a downtime and not just bad chips.

But GA is indeed not very useful for many questions. FF blocks it by default.

The long-term impact of either one cannot be conclusively determined in the short-term, barring the invention of time travel.

"I will not take the vaccine because there are no long-term studies" is silly because it's inconsistent. "I will not take the vaccine and I will not get COVID" isn't a reliable option, so it's largely a choice between two unknowns.

That leaves us having to make educated guesses. Based on the history of vaccination, the safety thus far of nearly 10 billion doses of vaccine administered, and stuff like the biology and half-life of mRNA, the choice seems fairly clear.
It also probably didn't help that I was doing on prim VMWare which wasn't a super common use case at the time.
It's better for new people joining, each cycle brings some improvement over the last typically.

It also equalizes the playing field every few years, you become an expert in the latest new thing as there isn't an old guard. Some new web framework comes along, you can invest in that and become leet, where its very difficult to start new in react today and achieve that.

This isn't to say past experience isn't valuable or helps you adopt things more quickly, can make you cynical about the new shiny and sometimes miss out on the actual improvements, even if small. I

Could you list a few of the per-page stats that you would want to see? I can only think of time-spent, which I think I could simply display in the top pages list.

You can already see sessions count for a specific page using the current segment feature, just add that page name to a new segment, and you can see the count of sessions that saw that page and the referrer (for that specific visitor though, not necessarily that specific page).
I would absolutely like the ability to pay for services which do not track or advertise to me. But they don't exist for the most part, and the existence of those services does nothing to diminish the requirement of the ones engaging in poor practice to make their service "free" to obtain _consent_ for what they are doing.
Hmmm. Maybe that's why we haven't detected any signs of an advanced civilization elsewhere in the universe.

Steps:

1) quantum mechanics

2) semiconductors

3) AGI

4) the machines take over

We're about 100 years into that progression, and we're well into step 2. How many years do we have left? Another 100?

The machines are probably not "foolish" enough to announce themselves to the rest of the universe.
The powerful thing about GA is the link with Google Ads, does that work nice for Plausible as well?

Well, Bauhaus is definitely not to my taste, stylistically.

To me (and please keep in mind this is of course entirely subjective) design that just screams 'we have too much money and time to think about this design' is a bit repugnant and cold and de-constructive.

I did that, 4 times a week, lots of curls, deadlifts, etc. Regular exercise, it's a bandaid, you feel really good after a session but wake up the next day and it's back. The underlying issue is the pressure you put on your wrist and the time spent doing so.

That doesn't HAVE to be true.

Consider a newspaper with articles and ads. The customer is absolutely aware of the attention currency when there are articles side-by-side with ads. And the customer may decide NOT to pick up the free local "paper" in the supermarket bin that's 80% ads with only a few articles.

On the other hand, when there are ads that are formatted like articles, but with a little disclaimer ("This is a paid advertisement"). Those can be confusing. Better newspapers will do things like using a black border or requiring a different font to make it easier for customers to tell the difference. Finally, there are articles written by the newspaper's journalists about a topic chosen by an advertiser -- those are VERY subtle and confusing to the customer.

I presume you can on your own extend this metaphor from newspapers to the Web.
This reads to me as an incredibly reductive take on a real-world problem, offloading blame/responsibility to engineers to properly frame something which very few engineers fully comprehend or can intelligently convey. I understand the author is trying to teach how to frame it, but it still requires experience and skill that I've seen very little of during my career in all but the most experienced or talented engineers.

Alternatively, in companies where there are Product Managers or Engineering managers, those folks should be skilled at parsing, translating, and conveying the technical issues to management and stakeholders in financial terms they'll understand.

"We" the engineers don't sound like idiots - "we're" being literal, which is all "our" job typically requires of us. I see this as a failure of leadership rather than an individual-contributor problem.
What are you referencing here?
Yes, we should replace "free" ad supported business models, which are in fact anything but, with ones where the customer pays and are therefore the beneficiaries of the work being carried out.

There are technical challenges to doing this as it requires sufficiently frictionless micropayments, but the biggest challenge is cultural. People are pretty addicted to "free" crap, so it's far from a given that most people will ever be willing to pay whatever arguments there are in favour of it. I think there's something of a pushback brewing though.
even i was amazed to see the quick response
I didn't see it in this article but I wonder if they took into account vaccinated people who had breakthrough infections? Or vaccinated people who were exposed but didn't get sick (although I don't know how you find those people). Does the vaccine and your primed immune system negate the effects of "long COVID"?

They store data in Russia, so probably.

Each jurisdiction is going to be slightly different, depending on what the law regarding data protection is like in each place.

Russia hasn't been deemed adequate by the Commission under the GDPR, but it is a member of the Council of Europe (and is thus bound by the ECHR) and it has ratified Convention 108 (and has signed, but not ratified, the modernised Convention 108).

Of course Russia is a deeply authoritarian regime which has no problem violating human rights and international treaties at will so...
In US maybe. Other countries might have or had better systems.
