I'm not sure about that. It depends on where the boundaries of the "cookie jar" are (through redirects and such). And I suspect it will effect it, in order to accomplish it's purpose. After all, what is tracking but a sort of "SSO" you don't know about.

(OK, technically tracking is less powerful than SSO, since only the third-party needs to know your "single" identity, the first-party website doesn't actually know it, where in SSO it does)

I mean, to be clear -- I mean the new thing might make you enter your username and password to SSO login on each site, whereas ordinarily if you have an active SSO session you don't need to re-enter username and password to login with SSO on a new site. Will it break SSO even if you are fine re-entering username and password every time you SSO login? I am not sure, but I definitely wouldn't be confident 'no' without more details/testing.
It shouldn't. "Exceptions are made for cross-site cookies when they're needed for non-tracking purposes, such as those used by popular third-party login providers."[1]

It would be nice to have some University poor souls study that period from a sociological pov (and not only) but, helas, afaik nobody is doing that so that scattered comments like mine, from people who have lived through that period, is the only thing that we have.

Come to think of it maybe some data historians at Google can look through the Googlebot logs and not only and compare the percent of websites that they think were .php-run (let’s say) over all this period, in both nominal and relative terms. It is my hunch that those websites represented a big chunk of Googlebot’s hit targets for most of Google’s (the company) existence, hence why I think my comment is valid (among other things)

So in general, ambition is a bad word to describe people trait for good reason.

I've seen people mostly hunt for money, not for their dream, nor their "ambition", which's not the goal here.

Hunt for value, instinst value, rather than money, then you naturally become ambitious, regardless of any kind of rejection.

Don't forget about the countless wars of aggression the US has waged virtually everywhere on the globe in the last 80 years, or the constant 'regime changing' in unstable countries, most of them leading to an endless stream of refugees that end up on European shores.

Right about now, the US was a major factor in Euromaidan, in an attempt to weaken both Russia and the EU (say hello to Mrs. Nuland, will ya?), which directly paved the way to today's Ukraino-Russian war.
Database Abnormalization 101
Yea this is how I try to think about.

I mined a "bunch" back in 2011 or so, lost the hard drive with the keys on it in the years since, didn't really think about backing it up, because of course it's not worth anything, etc, etc.

If I had that drive today, I'd be a millionaire. But also, if I had that drive in 2013, there's absolutely no chance I would have held it. I would have sold it for a few hundred bucks and been elated.
We moved early-covid to a neighborhood in my wife's hometown. Got twice the space inside and outside for the same price we sold (moving from major metro -> minor metro). In a few short months, our bff neighbors were gone, meeting new neighbors was hard, bars closed and spontaneity was gone, so we settled into Covid life. I was watching a lot of Monty Don and so I did the most logical thing to do to a new backyard: I ripped up a huge chunk of grass on the southern side of the house, built soil with lasagna gardening techniques, and hand-laid a bluestone path.

Sure, gardening is some privileged shit in this day and age, but I basically put myself down a 5 year path determined by seasons, weather, microbiology and how much I was willing to learn in my spare time. It's beautiful chaos half the time, but it's starting to surprise and delight everyone who visits.

It's also a place to be less serious about life. You need some humility. Sometimes being off by two weeks can ruin a plant. LOL let's try again next year. No biggie.

Americans need more of that. It doesn't have to be gardening of course, but please go out of your way to find something that can introduce more surprising and rewarding variables into your life that you enjoy figuring out.

The ironic thing is that Congress cancelled the Apollo program and approved the Space Shuttle program and that was even more expensive

There's no contradiction here. It's resolved because, relative to its original promise, the STS program was a complete failure. Yes, it did wind up doing a bunch of useful stuff. But it didn't achieve nearly as much as was promised, and what it did do cost vastly more than anticipated.

Source: my grandfather. He was a project manager on the Hubble, and specifically on the ill-fated mirror, this being simultaneously his greatest pride and greatest embarrassment. We talked about this stuff often. According to gramps, and not denying that there were major errors in the Hubble mirror management, they wound up getting screwed by the STS failures. It was always understood that the mirror wouldn't be perfect because they expected to be unable to perfectly compensate for the deflection of the mirror due to gravity while it was being manufactured. The STS promised the ability to deliver the Hubble to orbit to test it, and bring it back down again to correct if necessary. In the end, something like this was eventually required, but only many years later, and not in the fashion that the initial STS mission would have allowed.

One reason, is that the lack of necessities in times of crisis is often due to hoarding. And these people selling at inflated prices are, perhaps, the worst hoarders.

Second, they may have goods that can mean the difference between life and death. And they choose to use that situation for turning a huge profit. There isn't really anything commendable in that.
The 2-6 weeks figure seems optimistic to me. I think it’s easy to underestimate how long it takes to switch languages and operate at a high level of productivity in the new language. Yes, switching languages is much easier than learning to program. Yes, I would rather hire a proficient programmer who doesn’t know the language than a mediocre programmer who does. But no, I don’t think that 6 weeks is enough for most people to get their Rust skills to a professional level.
SSO, probably not - embedding, possibly.

If you're just worried about logging in through sso.coolcorp.com to third-party.corp using any of the normal methods (OAuth, SAML, Kerberos, etc.) then you're probably fine.

If you're worried about composing a page made up of lots of custom embedded components and those components _don't_ use SSO (or if they do, but they authenticate invisibly using an iframe instead of authenticating entirely server-side) then you may have some things to switch up.

There are legit cross-domain use cases. A good example is how someone here mentioned (comment seems deleted though) account sessions being shared between Atlassian products like JIRA and BitBucket.

The problem with that is domains are a poor way of representing ownership that can be trusted. If the web was rebuilt from scratch, a better approach might be to allow cookies to be shared between secure sites using the same certificate. But that adds more complexity that I'm not sure is worthwhile. The web can absolutely get away with not having shared cookies.

While I'm not a friend of tracking via cookies nor tracking in general there is some utility there. For example SSO may be done over cookies, like oauth iirc. I don't know of many other use cases though that couldn't be contained with header etc.
I don’t believe Rust is that good at maintainability - refactors are safe, but they are very tedious, which is inherent to its low-level nature. In a managed language if a refactor causes different lifetimes/ownership model, the runtime will automatically handle it. In Rust you will have to fight the borrow checker for it.

Don’t get me wrong, Rust is a really great language, but if the domain doesn’t require low-level programming, don’t choose a low-level lang, in my opinion.

RFC2109, from 1997, had this:

8.3 Unexpected Cookie Sharing

A user agent should make every attempt to prevent the sharing of session information between hosts that are in different domains. Embedded or inlined objects may cause particularly severe privacy problems if they can be used to share cookies between disparate hosts. For example, a malicious server could embed cookie information for host a.com in a URI for a CGI on host b.com. User agent implementors are strongly encouraged to prevent this sort of exchange whenever possible.
ETP Strict
Very true, I think that since Industry/Free-market enterprises don't tend to specialize into certain domains, from a profiteering stand-point, the efficiencies do not take into account other external factors, unless they impact the enterprise itself. Therefore, that is out of scope for that particular "Free market".

We complain about Government inefficiencies, and that is certainly an area that can be enhanced, however since the Government's enterprise is the entire Nation-state itself, they are better situated to determine the solution. In order to solve these macro issues, I believe we need a better resourced, accountable, efficient and competent government. At this point that would require a fundamental change at all levels though.

This is not just gdp or some fat guy getting rich, the fact is that industrialisation has raised millions out of food poverty and allowed us to support a population never before dreamed of.

Robbing billions of that to theoretical gain 2 more years (calculated in a strategic vacuum) is foolhardy in the extreme.

I don't think anyone quite grasps what potentially going backwards really means for humanity. Without industrialisation there will be significantly large portion of population being made unsustainable.

It’s not about the raw numbers but that “fatalities caused by murder-suicides are becoming an increasingly large share of the total.”

The assumption is this a very low probability event that’s neither increasing or decreasing, but if you improve everything else then then people are just going to hear about murder cases like this.

Can anyone speculate why there's so much crypto using Rust as opposed to everybody else? I am afraid crypto will end up giving Rust a bad name.
Unless Rust itself solves a problem specific to your startup, I'm not so sure. I like Rust, but the language seems very complex compared with Ruby or JS, so your talent pool will be considerably smaller and probably more expensive.

Apart from the good economical explanations other replies have brought up, there's also a link between crypto and Covid-19 via the rise of conspiracy theories.

Crypto is associated with some types of conspiratorial thinking: goldbug libertarians, ramblings about globalist bankers and George Soros, etc. The pandemic gave a boost to conspiracy theories overall, and crypto was a beneficiary.
> This assumes that the employee has been working for the company for more than 2 years. If it's less than that, they have no such protection and can be fired for any reason whatsoever.

There are some protections, but yes, they are much more limited (in particular, anything that would generally be classified as automatic unfair dismissal is still protected, for instance for whistleblowing, joining a trade union, firing someone for raising a health and safety concern or for going on maternity leave).

You will likely still want to capture and document the genuine reason under either performance, absence or conduct grounds in order to protect against any invalid claim that the dismissal was because of a protected reason if it was brought to tribunal (when in reality it wasn't).

I have to say though, iOS does not seem like the best model of Settings that I would emulate. Rather than the years-long, pile-on model that iOS Settings seems to be the result of, someone needs to step back and reevaluate where every setting ought to belong — how best to organize them.

Also, speaking of iOS Settings — Mail setting should be in the Mail app, Safari settings in the Safari app. I have always loathed that iOS 1.0 idea that you had to go to a different place to find the settings for the apps.
I see this a lot at my current job. The tech stack is ridiculously complicated and I think a lot of it is due to this sort of motivation. They let developers run wild and build using whatever tools or new hotness that they wanted. But ultimately we sell Widgets. And the 3rd refactoring of an application to use some immutable data library doesn't do anything to help us sell more Widgets.

So yes, we have happy developers that have good morale. But we also have probably twice the number we need because nobody put their foot down and said "this is work, not play".

Apple's tracking rules also raised a lot of anti-trust concerns, giving advertisement in App Store unfair advantages among other ad platforms. Latest from German Government:
https://www.bundeskartellamt.de/SharedDocs/Publikation/EN/Pr...

Banning third-party cookies will increase the gap between Google, Microsoft, Apple and other ad platforms, because they can still track you based on your account (e.g. Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud). It's a huge red flag for antitrust cases they are facing (especially Google).

Just to add: Dunning-Kruger is not a problem of "stupid people". We're all susceptible to it, and we all fall victim to it from time to time in different areas. If anything, people with self-perceived "high intelligence", or people that are genuine experts in one field, can sometimes be the most susceptible because they overestimate how much their knowledge transfers.
