The focus on cookies was always a bit off and more a result of too much technical detail resulting in laws missing their intent. The legislative moves slowly, over time, this will be fixed. However the legislative regulating how webservices have to handle data privacy was very necessary (and the people of the USA should really consider amending their constitution by also demanding a basic human right to data privacy). The key elements are "informed choice" and "consent to data gathering/processing" which have little to do with cookies. Let's say you buy a smartphone from china and it comes with a keyboard app that sends all your inputs to a chinese company so they can make predictions and offer autocompletion. You kind of want that app to display a banner asking you if that is okay. And you kind of want a privacy policy attached that explains they will create user specific profiles and sell them to advertisers and share them with the chinese ministry of state security. I think you want that banner. Now google analytics isn't much different. It tracks you all over the web, creates profiles of your browsing habits, sells those to advertisers and shares them with the american national security agency. Sure it also shows statistics to the website owners, the same way that keyboard app has an autocomplete function, but you kind of want to be informed about those other functions and have the option to say no, don't you? That is why 'consent management' is so important for data privacy.

Naturally you would answer that, from an OS that never had a certified GA build, great proof indeed.

Yet the same group that sabotaged Longhorn, was quite keen in doing exactly the same stuff using a mix of .NET Native and C++/CX, which only failed due to the lack of migration path from Win32, and not much love for the sandboxing.
This professor has been brought on here before. I have conflicting views: on one hand, I do agree that people should not be marginalized for their drug use, and that we should decriminalize drug use in order be able to help addicts back into the fold of society and provide aide.

However, I have a problem with the professor. He consistently across all media outlets promotes this idea of 'responsible heroin user'. Maybe he, himself, is able to use heroin responsibly. However, the combination of 1) the reward prediction error that we get in the ventral tegmental area when taking opioids specifically, 2)the negative side effects when you try to come off of these drugs 3) reduced dopamine production in the VTA and the nucleus accumbens when you start using these drugs often and 4) how social effects like where you take the drugs/etc can reinforce the behavior make me feel that maybe this professor can't give up heroin and is trying to justify his own actions. But maybe he can regulate his heroin intake; fine. most people can't, and I think promoting especially these more addictive drugs is extremely dangerous.

But I am sure he is aware of all of this, and in general he is really a controversial figure. However, I think when this gets trickled down to maybe individuals that are less aware of the effects of these drugs it makes it seem like they aren't as dangerous. We thought this for a long time about opoids: I once worked with a surgeon that told me he knows now that 1/5 people he gives opioids to after surgery will become addicted. Not all people know this even now.
Any idea how this compares to the nano-hydroxyapatite that’s used in some non-US toothpastes?
> Interestingly, many of these guys are also stone-sober. Not recovering alcoholics. They just don't drink. They don't ever hook up at bars. That bar scene you see in every military movie never happens.

Is that true in the enlisted ranks, as well, I wonder? I believe that I saw you mentioned in another comment that you were talking about officers.

Anyway, I can tell you from experience that 20 years ago, around the bases I was stationed at, it was definitely still happening. We went out on the weekends, we partied hard, we hooked up, dated, some of them even got married, etc., with local girls from bars and clubs.
Morbid curiosity or mean comment maybe, but what's the price tag on a Sea King ambulance helicopter rescue in the U.S.?

But in most countries that kind of service is just not available. It is highly available in Norway due to the oil industry needs, the many islands and mountains making it useful, and generally very high standard of living.
> The people of Britain voted for Brexit and now need their elected officials to deliver

Why and How to Speak Up
The Puzzle That Will Outlast the World
Comparing divorce rates like that is very hard because where divorce is culturally stigmatized, cohabitation is also stigmatized. The result is you get a bunch of people who get married, have kids, find out they're incompatible, and get divorced.

In other states with different cultures, that exact pattern (including the kids) can play out but never end up in the divorce stats because instead of getting married the couple just lives together for a while. Once kids are involved the negative effects are much the same as in a divorce (minus the legal bills), it just doesn't show up in the stats.

So if it goes ahead it will generate 10.5GW, but deliver 3.6GW for "20+ hours a day". I guess the 10.5GW figure is peak generation during the day with lots of wind + sun, then by using batteries it will be able to consistently deliver approx 1/3 of that, or 8% of current UK demand (from the article). Makes sense, but the headline used by the submission is a bit misleading.

At the same time, the electrification of heating + transport is predicted to approximately double UK electricity demand by 2050. So even if this goes ahead and works as intended, it will end up providing something like 4% of the UK's needs.

A whole bunch of comments here comparing this idea negatively to wind, nuclear or tankers filled with hydrogen (?!). Even if it goes ahead, there need to be like a dozen other new projects of similar scale just to meet demand on these small islands. If you also want to provide carbon free electricity to the other 10 billion people likely to be living on this planet by that 2050, then you need to multiply that dozen projects by a factor of at least 100.
I don’t know if there’s any right or wrong approach here.

For instance. It’s certainly nice that Windows supports its entire back catalogue. It’s also nice that MacOS has been able to reap the benefit of deprecations, breaking changes, and even 2 architectural shifts.

Though I do think something that’s often missed in this debate are the specific challenges that mobile brings that set it apart from say, the console environment, that really do require a more ‘cooperative’ and ongoing approach to the platform.

Your device really will perform better and present a more cohesive experience if apps can be nudged onto that new privacy API, or an old threading API deprecated and removed.

The subset of words that are solutions is an internal data structure of the game. It is clearly cheating to refer to that list. If you are willing to examine the inside of the game's black box, the optimal strategy is to simply extract today's answer.
> The EU wants the UK to be subservient to the Commission for ideological, political and economic reasons

You mean, the UK was one of the three largest powers in the EU with all the power to influence its policy and direction which it did.

Instead, the UK adopted the attitude of "we are a superpower, you owe us everything, we owe you nothing" to which the planet's largest economic union and one of the planet's largest markets calmly responded, "u wot mate?"

About a year into the whole Brexit brouhaha the EU said, look, here are the various agreements and levels of agreements we have with all the countries [1] (taking from the amazing short overview here [2]). You don't want Norway style because "it's EU with extra steps", you don't want Switzerland-style because "same thing", you don't want Ukraine or Turkey-style because you don't want to be bound by EU trade agreements etc.

At every step of the way UK's reaction was "these Brussels democrats are smothering our great independent nation, they must give us everything we want". That's not how negotiations work. Especially not with an economic block of ~450 million people who are your biggest trading partners.

And after all that puffing and chest-beating, almost seven years into the whole Brexit ordeal UK also "suddenly" discovered the whole Northern Ireland border issue. Which tells you a lot about the competence of your government.

So, no. UK went from being the country with the largest influence on EU policy to an outside country that has to deal with the EU on the same terms as every other country from outside the EU.

> I know you probably just want to be annoying, but really, there is a world of difference between completely synthetic and anonymized data.

No, I’ve spent ~20 years in healthcare, with this issue as a frequently recurring issue.

> No, in actual practice you don't scrub the stuff you actually need to test.

In actual practice, the stuff you really need to test often overlaps with the stuff minimally required to scrub to legally deanonymize the data. The most common scenario I’ve seen trying to do this is both creating most of the work of generating synthetic data and failing to legally deidentify the source data.
Recently I really got into chess.com and their app, its really great.
I did notice a high number of Russian players on it and I also noticed a lot of anti Putin banners from users from other nationalities.

Devastating for the Russian people that Putin needs to squash the slightest opposition to his ideology but sadly I'm not surprised.
There is going to be a 100 player cap and it is played online. As for cheat detection, we require the players to have 2 cameras setup and running at all times. One pointed at their face and one pointed at their computer screen, and additionally, we plan to use open-source cheat detection tools (the one developed by lichess) to detect suspicious activity). Unfortunately, cheating in chess is extremely easy, so we really hope this would be enough of a cheating deterrent. Also probably the biggest deterrents is the fact that the players enter a lot of personally identifiable information and also the fact that an entry fee exists.

So I think it's enough... probably even overkill :D

As for your last question, I don't personally know someone who organized an event like this. But I have carefully examined the tournament structure in elite chess tournaments, esports tournaments, and even classic sports tournaments.
10 years since Google said to “hang tight” about Linux support for Google Drive

I don't personally have experience with early stage startups so I can only talk second hand. I think both can provide growth in different ways.

Big Tech is more consistent and structured, while startups are sink or swim. I've seen people come in as Principal Engineers after building the entire product of a successful startup. But that happened because they joined a rocket ship as an early engineer, which is the programmer's equivalent of winning the lottery.

So if you can join a rocket ship by all means do it. Otherwise Big Tech is generally a safe bet.
> I'd love to quit and just take some time off. I worry that this is the wrong example to set. I've been working regularly for 20 years, but my kids don't know that.

Frame it as a sabbatical. I think what your kids see is how you think, feel and talk about work. Taking time off does not diminish any of those things. In fact, it gives a counter-example to the mistaken belief that ages 23-60 MUST be spent working away.

I take one every seven years, not for religious reasons (though that is the exact number of years from Leviticus), but because that is an ideal cadence for me. It is not often enough for employers to get worried about it, yet it is short enough for me to not get too far off the rails.
What about all the rich or powerful conservatives who end up having cheap workers brought here to work at their homes and so on?
...the more interesting question in my mind is why do certain harmonic intervals sound more pleasing to humans...

Unfortunately the first satisfactory answer that I got needed much more knowledge. The foundation is about proximity and dynamics (thinking about scales as a progression, not simultaneous notes).

But it's much better to just accept that major is "happier" than minor when you're starting, and later understand why intuitively.

>"Seipler did some back-of-the-napkin math and realized that millions of bars of perfectly salvageable soap were going to waste.".

>"Its biggest partner, Hilton, which signed on all of its worldwide locations in 2019, has contributed 14.5m bars of soap in less than 3 years."

>"hotels go through ~3.3m bars of soap every day."

That sounds like a primary environmental concern and a pretty large one at that.

>"Stop the waste at the source with refillable dispensers. Mandate better packaging or eliminate the packaging entirely"

The hotel industry has virtually no interest into committing to any these changes because they generate so little PR value. No one's going to Embassy Suites because they care about the environment. This solution is at the very least a passive opportunity for companies like Hilton, to reduce waste.
I thought it was in that linked video or somewhere that I found a list of starting words to try to make it easier to solve it based on letter frequency and getting a few vowels in within the scope of the Wordle word list (not a dictionary list).

These are the words I use:

SOARE

TREAD (or TRADE, which is an anagram)

ADIEU

By default my game play is like “hard mode” (only use letters already found to be correct and avoid letters found to be incorrect). That helps most of the time.

One of the annoying (or challenging) things about Wordle is that its word list has many sets of words that differ by just one letter. For example, you may get _ATCH right and then have to really guess if it’s going to be CATCH or BATCH or PATCH or MATCH or WATCH or LATCH or HATCH (maybe there are more words with a different first letter in this range). I’ve seen several sets of words like this. Just can’t do this within six total guesses. So chance does matter.

First of all, the state of NM does not lay claim to all the water that falls here. Large parts of the state are federally owned, and other large parts are tribe owned. As a result, the state only has claim to about 45% of the water that falls from the sky or flows across the land, the rest is already allocated.

The article in the ABQ Journal does not, in fact, state any of the things you've mentioned above. I appreciate that you cited the article, I just think it was poorly written.

What the article describes is this: a Court of Appeals judge said that because Congress was involved in the settlement between (at least) the Navajo and the state of NM, Congress is now in charge of water in NM and not the state (at least, this is one reasonable interpretation of the opinion). The SE Office appealed this on the basis that it contradicts decades of clear precedent. NMSC declined to hear the appeal, which potentially leaves the door to someone (potentially one of the tribes) forcing administrative action that forces Congress into active oversight of water allocation etc.

I said it was poorly written because it lacks sufficient context, uses short out-of-context quotes from the court's opinion, and because it completely fails to explain the relationship between the SE Office/State, the tribes and the US Congress. The article does not describe the settlement reached with the Navajo, for example, it does not describe the general situation with water in the state, it does not describe the context of the settlement.

In addition, I do not believe it is the true to say:

> The entities they are dealing with are soveirgn nations - entirely distinct countries

While the US (and to some extent, the Spanish) did grant significant sovereignty to (some of the) the nations already here during European colonization, the sovereignty of the tribes today is far more complex than is indicated by calling them "entirely distinct countries". Any serious challenge to the authority of the federal government would be harshly dealt with (challenges to state government, not so much). The Navajo and the Hopi utilized the federal government in their attempts to resolve their own disputes over land and access. While I believe that the tribes deserve more autonomy, more power and definitely more water, the actual legal situation is far more complex than the one that exists, for example, between the USA and Mexico or the USA and Canada.

> every single source of water to New Mexico flows through the land of either The Nuntzi, the Navajo, the Goshutes, the Shoshone, the Shivwits, or the Koosharem.

I think (but am not certain) that you're describing inflows to the area of the state. This does not describe the Pecos River, nor the rainfall nor the snow.

In general, I think you might be imagining that I'm not aware of or sympathetic to the tribes' arguments in this matter. Nothing could be further from the truth. I entirely agree with the terms of the settlement, and think it should likely go further.
I developed on it just fine, and that’s certainly not the only task a laptop is useful for.

This, and furthermore the scientific value of proving that this can be done has value too. Imagine trying to compensate someone to undergo this experiment willingly...
Learning music is more like a language than a discipline in my experience. You can do it the engineers way, but if you follow the way babies learn speech then it becomes a lot more gratifying and things become more intuitive. Victor Wooten had a ted talk on the subject.

Containers are simple to use and incredibly useful.

Temporary account containers: automatically makes a new tab isolated from the others. This reduces the data thieves tracking and it allows you to ignore sites that have a limit on the number of articles you read before putting up the paywall. For some sites, there is advantage in using the same container so I use Multi-Account containers.

Multi-Account containers: I have multiple webmail accounts and have a container for each one pinned in my main browser window. For me, these containers are aligned with different businesses that I run and personal stuff. Using them is so easy - right click on a tab and reopen in X container.

Containers (and uBlock and side tabs) should be baked into the browser.

All humans, indeed every life-form, are for "serving as livestock and spawning/rearing children", period. Until somebody invents Dune-style axolotl tanks to clone people and robot nannies, that's not going to change. If a society and its culture can't perpetuate itself, it will be replaced by one that does so we all need to come up with a balance that works to perpetuate the type of society that we want.

In the meantime, maybe ease up on flamebait language like "subhuman underclass" and trying to insinuate the person you're replying to is some kind of scoundrel and try suggesting solutions to the fraying social balance instead? Because it's increasingly obvious that there's a problem here.
That's interesting. I start with "A" on the G-string, and then use its "B" to tune the B-string and so on.

I've noticed when I go to configure my cookies on European sites, most of them default to all the tracking stuff turned off. Is that typical? Is it required by the law? They still do everything they can in the UI to encourage you to "accept all", but there's generally a single button to click to "reject all" and it'd be more work to pick and choose.
