happy goatcounter user here to, for the same reasons as you say, way less complex than GA but it has more metrics I care about.
I heard a story of a dude getting a ticket down there. Had to be the unluckiest guy in the desert that day. There is nothing there (except a cop on this day).
Everything comes at a price. I don't expect every average Joe to be tech savvy to use extensions. Though when visiting a site (an action that a personal deliberately takes) if they really care about their privacy on web, cookies, GA tracking they aren't probably average Joe and can use a blocker.
I don't see that as a relevant distinction. Democratically elected governments can do really bad things, too, and they have a much bigger tool kit for it than corporations.
It actually doesn't much matter. My point is that these people fail on their own terms.

Fascism runs on a certain archaic masculine presence, and that is true whether we're talking about Mussolini's centralized variety, or the kind we see here where we live under the petty tyranny of a thousand employer-states. Toxic masculinity is at the core of old-style fascism and neofeudalist corporate capitalism alike.

If you meet the men (and, yes, they're mostly men) in charge, though, they're all lethargic and unattractive creatures who never had to fight for anything. The system largely exists because they need to compensate for this fact--it exists both to elevate their appeal to women and to dimininsh that of male competitors. Pointing out that they fail on their own terms (old-style masculinity) is useful, because it discredits them and brings to mind questions about what they are really doing.
I hope you mean speeding relative to the prevailing traffic speed.

If you are the slow guy the area in front of you is the area in which everybody elects to make their move. You get cut off 100x (pulled that number out of my ass) as much as if you're just doing what everyone else is doing. If you are going really slow then cars are cutting each other off to get out from behind you all the time. The whole situation benefits nobody and is just as stressful as trying be the fast guy.

>If my website askes users for their permission to use GA and they click yes then is that still illegal here? I see this as yes it's still illegal.

The basis of regulations is that citizens are too stupid to consent to things even if they are fully informed. Whether that is a good or bad approach is up for debate.

Isn’t it the other way around? FF by default blocks GA.
The people who bought the pitchbook for the Dune movie that was never made should have looked it up, too.
Or to line it up more squarely with the point of staying home: those who make decisions in large part based on risk assessment stayed home (due to covid).

That left risk takers on the road with no "safe driver" buffers between them.
How do these tools work? Are they like ASP.NET Webforms?
It's not only "a machine in the EU" . It's a company in the EU totally separated from the main company in the US to be out of the reach of the US government and legal system. Maybe the EU company could license software and knowledge from the US one, to keep sending a steady flow of cash there. But it's going to have its own goals and it will want to go its way soon. A hard problem IMHO.
Maybe from an investment point of view but the product is still solid.
That's not the problem here at all tho.
I'm in awe of how many different sources a person had to sift through in order to get all this data. Is there software in this space? My naive sense is that it took months to get this deck together.
Have you seen how complicated it is? https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/point-in-time-restore-f... It also seems to only be object changes, not all bucket changes, so treating the entire bucket as an immutable versioned artifact still isn't possible.
I think permanency and maintainability are features too.
I would be fine with telling corporate that we can build something, but it will collapse in 3 months and need a total rebuild.

If their budget allows for that, then okay we go ahead.

120 is on the high side, but on big empty roads with light traffic and great visibility, e.g. eastern Washington, I've seen packs of cars pushing 100 pretty regularly. Modern cars, modern tires, it's probably a good bit safer than going 55 was in the 70s.
That's not at all the point. The issue here is data residency.

Can you? After that huge bust a few years back, I figured that particular usage was marginal at this point. Seems like the only use for crypto is ransomware, dodging taxes or smuggling embezzled money out of your country.
I don't entirely understand this, but I think horizontal and vertical are often treated differently in CSS, yes? Like an item without width or height set will in some cases have width constrained by it's parent element, but height will not be (and can even cause parent element to grow). And I feel like it would end up weird and not what you wanted if it wasn't that way.

I may not have this exactly right, but i have an intuition that width and height are treated differently by CSS, and the aspect-ratio example is a consequence of some other fundamental rule/principle, not something unique to aspect-ratio.

Maybe someone else can explain this more specifically.
>but because the roads just ain't is as good shape as they used to be.

Fundamental core functions of government is roads, borders, preventing of violence(military and police), justice, and refereeing the economy.

Roads as you say are in disrepair.

Borders are wide open.

Military has been at war for how many decades? War exhaustion can't be higher.

Violent crime is vastly under reported. Police brutality seems to be at historic highs. Victim of violent crime? Dont call the police because when they show up, the situation gets worse. Antifa is burning cities down, in part due to police brutality.

Where's the justice? If your car or property is stolen, there's a ~90% chance you never see it again and nobody is caught. Arson is worse than that. Murder is the only violent crime which has a clearance rate above 50% but only barely. There is no justice.

Ref for economy? If financial crisis proved anything, they clearly dont.

The core function of government is clearly failed. Lets say we form the HN political party and we're going to fix this. We can't. Government debt to GDP is over 100%. The budget isn't in balance. The central bank is bankrupt; https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/central-bank-bala...
This! GDPR is a big block towards technological improvement.

Do virtually any business that involves user registration at some point, and now you need to be sure that you're compliant with all those rules, spending limited resources on that to avoid ridiculous fines.

It benefits only the big players who has lawyers to know exactly what to do and not, and a nightmare for anyone who tries to grow a small business or have a small website.
That's where hybrid comes in so, you don't make yourself completely dependent on big cloud. Of course it's cheaper, because it's mass production.

With hybrid you can use any cloud you want, but when it starts doing things you don't agree on, you can revert back to your own systems.

Use the force, but have alternatives ready.

How to Want Less
The Epidemic of Gay Loneliness (2017)
When I hear arguments like this I always think about what it would be if we were to replace 'user data' with 'financial data'.

"It would be so easy if companies could just pay their taxes in one country. Think of how much they could scale their finance department."

The same applies for start ups : "book keeping is such a hassle for start ups, why impose that on them? All these financial regulations are really anti business".
That’s not really a comparison that makes sense.

Providing raw storage is of course a lot cheaper than a password manager with apps on various platforms and security audits.

And the manufacturer can go after Bosch, who is responsible in the end.

> than the international anonymous machine that is Google.

Except the law applies to Europe as a whole, and it's really not that much to ask one of the biggest technology companies in the world to use European servers and anonymize European traffic by default. They just don't want to or don't care. Which both should be reason enough to stronger regulate them.

Sorry, but I call bullshit on this being Islamophobia. It might be a mistaken assertion of facts but there's nothing inherently Islamophobic in making specific criticisms of specific practices in Islamic society. They certainly exist, just as things worth criticizing or condemning exist in other societies. Moral relativism doesn't take away from the reality that some practices in some societies are indeed especially ugly and worth condemning by any widespread moral standard. This condemnation doesn't automatically deserve the label of "Islamophobic" when applied to Islam. The progressive left in the west and even some feminist groups have for decades turned a blind eye to repression of women in the Muslim world due to exactly these kinds of mental gymnastics and it's reprehensible considering their claimed moral postures in other contexts.
> If it's not allowed how can I ensure my site is protected as I need those logs to identify and ban hackers.

Server logs are allowed as "technically necessary" as long as you show "good will" (I'd call it that way) in keeping the saved data to a minimum. 14 days of log keeping? Fine, that's cool for technical reasons. 14 weeks of log keeping? That's excessive and could get you in trouble.

The EU part cannot be owned by the US entity since the US government can compel the US mother company to have it's subsidiary hand over data.

In fact this is how most of the companies operate already to cheat on taxes.

The way microsoft did it for a while here in Norway was to license azure cloud stuff to a sub operator (EVRY) that is completely insulated except for the licensing agreement.

> Isn't that true of cloud providers, too? I'll use AWS as an example because that's where I have the most experience. There's a dizzying number of services, some of which have a high degree of overlap. Someone needs to understand them to make an informed choice as to what to use. Every place I've been at using AWS has had to deal with undocumented API issues and responses that the docs say are impossible, but happen. There are performance pitfalls that require in-depth knowledge of the product to avoid, but usually you don't find out until it's too late. Adopting many of the cloud native services isn't just a technology swap (your RDBMS knowledge isn't going to help much with DynamoDB). There's a cottage industry helping people just understand their bills and how to reduce costs. And for non-trivial deployments, you often have to learn orchestration tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.

It's true to some extent but I would typically characterize it as having DIY add additional layers you have to be concerned with. For example, I've seen more problems with SANs in some weeks than I've had total using EBS since the late 2000s (repeat for dodgy network cabling, server firmware causing issues, etc.).

The other thing to consider is what the alternatives are: for example, the reason why some of your RDBMS knowledge isn't relevant to DynamoDB is because it's a NoSQL database – if you wanted a SQL database, RDS is going to be at least an order of magnitude less time than running your own, especially if you are concerned with performance or reliability. If you've determined that NoSQL is a good fit for your application, that means that the relevant comparison is how much it costs to run DynamoDB versus, say, MongoDB.

> I'm at a place that uses GCP now and very little of that AWS knowledge I've accumulated is applicable here.

My experience has been the opposite. There are some differences but an awful lot of the principles transfer well to the other major cloud platforms and a solid foundation will make it easier for you to transition between the major cloud providers more easily than on-premise.

> If you're just pushing buttons on the EC2 console, then it's faster than provisioning an Ubuntu server with Ansible for sure. But, those toy deployments aren't indicative of the actual effort to manage a production system.

It's definitely not trivial but I certainly have no desire to go back to running a VMware cluster, either. I still have memories of being on the phone with their support team explaining how the flaws in their the design of their cluster health-check system lead to a big outage.

I used the Dex Mode of my S21 as my main driver in the month when I was laptopless between jobs, and it was _so close_ to perfection.

If Samsung fixes anti-aliasing and let you customise a few more things it could very easily replace a computer for workflows that do most of their processing in a server farm.
I have a similar story, started having wrist pain/numbness in 2020, switched to a tilted keyboard/pointer, and the problem went away.

With the relatively large market for boutique keyboards, I think it's bizarre that the focus is largely on mechanical switches, rather than actual ergonomic issues. It would have been nice to have more, cheaper options for tilting.

Hell yeah. The banners are the fault of the website owner. They don't have to display them.
I am not sure what this comment is meant to convey, but it sounds to me that you are alluding to BoJo gutting the BBC for his own political gain.

I think the reality is the license fee is overwhelmingly unpopular, has been for decades. The BBC has not evolved its business model to keep up with democratized broadcast and if BoJo is the one to do what is inevitable then who can blame him to use the opportunity to be the one to pull the trigger.

The license fee is unfair, unsustainable, and in my opinion unenforceable given today's technology. It used to be that having a "TV" meant you implicitly watched the BBC. As the decades passed cable and satellite became popular and so people could own a TV and never watch the BBC, but the BBC would still insist you were watching their service and send inspectors to your house.

They would threaten you (I've experienced this myself) and ask to come into your home as if they had the authority, which they did not. So many people let these assholes into their homes to "inspect" their viewing habits and issue a fine if they found a TV in your home, because obviously if you have a TV you MUST be watching the BBC. What's even more crazy is you get a discount for a B&W TV, that's just how stuck in the past this license thing is.

Today you can legit have multiple TVs (now displays) and never watch the BBC. But the BBC thinks that because you have an internet connection you must be watching the BBC.

It's just nuts, and as I said, unenforceable. So it must end. The BBC has had the opportunity to adapt over the last ~30 years as the internet and other entertainment sources came into people's homes, but they chose not to. I say let the BBC fade away or adapt on their own feet.

> Apple offers a phone number employers can call to verify titles of former Apple employees. A voice recording on that line directs callers to the web site for InVerify, an employment verification service provider owned by credit agency Equifax. When The Washington Post called InVerify’s customer support number, a customer service representative said Apple is the only company he knew of that changes job titles of employees when they leave. Apple also changes titles for employees who have taken a leave of absence, the person said.

So basically, if your new employer checks your title before you leave Apple, you're fine?

This is a huge dick move by Apple.

- driving license repeal

- heavy discount on insurance policies at any and all insurance companies - a heavy negative one

Are you referring to stats such as time-spent on a specific page?

From my experience, there are several thousands of people/companies using UXWizz and so far no one has requested this feature yet.

But now that you mentioned, it seems like a pretty useful feature, especially if you can see top performing pages/articles.

I think one reason why people don't care about the specific analytics for a page is that they usually write pages/articles for SEO purposes. To see how well a page is performing SEO-wise, you usually go to Google Search Console (or Bing Webmasters) and see search terms/click-through-rates for that page.

Also, time spent on a specific page is not that useful, typically you want to see: if people are buying stuff, where do people that buy stuff come from and what page do they land on.
I wasn't referring to FAANG, I was referring to smaller devs/admins who try to keep up with analytics and don't have ridiculous amounts of money to work with lawyers to see what they are doing for analytics for the sake of improving their service might be landing them $1m fines for some new rule in some geographical locations.
Ask HN: Indication of animated architecture diagram tool
I found a tool to design an architectural structure of a platform. It was possible to indicate the type of resource (Webservice, Queue, Database...), with whom it communicated and how it communicated (POST, GET, Message publish).

Who's organizing all the world's corporate leaders? Who's preventing from non-infiltrated people from starting businesses? This is extremely conspiratorial

> Companies will do bad things to make a profit, and on rare occasions they even do good things to make a profit

Really? Rare occasions? Do you deal with any private businesses in your every day? 99% of my interactions with private businesses is positive. How can this be taken as a serious statement?

> Big companies don't go out of business because they're out-competed. They do so because their management loses the faith of the upper class and can no longer access investment, clients, resources, or political advantages.

Who's doing this coordination? Blockbuster drops the ball on streaming and Netflix came out with a better product and consumer tastes shifted away from in-store movie rentals to digital. I'm sure there's some conspiracy theory that Blockbuster execs offended "the upper class" so it was decided they need to go away.

I'm trying to read your comments in good-faith but I find it increasingly difficult to do so due to the conspiratorial nature of your argument.
I think you're reading the comments backwards, maybe. A laptop that has a mouse and a touch-screen will in some cases NOT be detected as a touch screen. When you say that is "reliably detecting touch screens", I'm not sure if you're following. If that results in delivering your "not as usable for touch screens" UI, that is not "erring on the side of keeping things usable for touch input"
