Refusing all cookies alone may not completely prevent you from being targeted by ads. While cookies play a significant role in tracking user behavior and serving targeted ads, there are other methods that advertisers and platforms can use to target users. Here are a few reasons why you might still see targeted ads even if you refuse all cookies:

1. Device Fingerprinting: Advertisers can use techniques such as device fingerprinting to gather information about your device, browser settings, operating system, and other characteristics. This information can be used to create a unique identifier for your device, allowing advertisers to target you with ads based on your device's attributes rather than relying on cookies.

2. IP Address Tracking: Your IP address is a unique identifier assigned to your device when connected to the internet. Advertisers can use your IP address to approximate your location and deliver ads based on your geographic location.

3. Behavioral Tracking: While cookies are commonly used for behavioral tracking, advertisers can also use other methods like pixel tags, web beacons, and JavaScript code to track your online activities across websites. These techniques allow advertisers to monitor your browsing behavior and serve targeted ads based on your interests and preferences.

4. Contextual Targeting: Advertisers may rely on contextual targeting, which involves analyzing the content of the web pages you visit or keywords used in search queries to determine relevant ads to display. This approach doesn't necessarily rely on cookies or personal data but focuses on the context of the content you engage with.

5. Data from Third-Party Sources: Advertisers may obtain data from third-party sources such as data brokers, social media platforms, or other online services. These data sources can provide information about your interests, demographics, or browsing history, enabling advertisers to target you with personalized ads even if you refuse cookies.

It's important to note that different platforms and advertising networks have varying approaches to ad targeting and user tracking. While refusing cookies can reduce the effectiveness of certain tracking methods, it may not completely eliminate all targeted advertising.

To enhance your privacy and reduce targeted ads, you can consider additional measures such as using browser extensions or privacy-focused browsers, enabling ad blockers, adjusting privacy settings on your devices and online accounts, and being cautious about the information you share online.
> xml is the future

Isn't that what htmx and alpine.js are essentially based on?
Once I understood non-linear vector spaces and coordinate transformations… wait what am I saying?

One day, I realized you can do cool stuff if you have geometry data as x, y, z:

t = x + y;

xt = sin(t);

yt = cos(t);

zt = sqrt(xt**2 + yt**2);

You’d only do it that way explicitly in a vertex shader—but congratulations, that’s a coordinate transformation!

Now do it with more xyzwqp’s, then, profit!

In my example, I compressed x+y down to one parameter. You’ll be combining 4 spacial dimensions into combinations of xyz for use with a rendering pipeline.

Or, alternatively projecting straight to xy. Not sure which is preferable.
> customers of SVB were getting attractive returns on their deposits

Can you quantify that? If a startup had $1M in a business checking account, what interest rate were they getting paid?

I was under the impression that depositors at SVB were getting 0% like everyone else in the 0-interest-rate era.
Yes. "Green hydrogen" is largely vaporware at this point. The majority of hydrogen we produce is from fossil methane
Ironically, the doorbell was the thing that wasn't an Amazon product and wasn't disabled. ;-)

And yes, I recanted on the 'firing" part, but I still feel that Amazon's "resolution" here was weak-sauce compared to the "extreme" action taken in the first place. At this point, I'm guessing they wish they'd offered the customer some minor token (say 2 years of free Prime at a minimum) compensation in return for an NDA on the topic. 20/20 hindsight ;-)
Why would anybody put even one second of volunteer effort into helping RHEL, let alone pay to do it, when Red Hat's locked off access to their system? If they're taking and not contributing, what possible reason would anyone have for doing stuff for them for free, or voluntarily paying to help them out? Let them test it, if they care.
>I think a lot of your general practitioners are bound to follow protocol set forth by various medical organizations. So in that sense a lot of diving into research won’t help them. They need to understand and diagnose without having to worry about every little research paper. A lot of research papers aren’t truth - they are peer reviewed opinions.

Isnt this even more necessary for them to learn the fundementals? Especially if Physicians claim that they are both Art and Science, which is why we can't merely use science for diagnosis and treatment.
I do the RedHat side of support for our open source project. And when I do have to spin up real RedHat for something, it’s always a pain of fixing up some licensing or another.
> and all it cost them was $5000?

They also have to write written apologies to their client, and all of the judges who were mentioned in their fake cases, with proof filed in the docket.

And they are the brunt of a very well-publicized lawsuit. The judge is effectively saying that all that publicity is punishment enough; he doesn't need to do anymore. He doesn't need to refer them to the bar for disbarment--the bar already knows about it. (The judge has no power to disbar them himself, he can only refer to the bar for disbarment.)

The biggest surprise is that they didn't get made to pay the defendant's legal fees as well, but that's because defendant didn't ask for any fees.

Oh, and the final punishment... they lost the case--they get no chance to redo their opposition to the motion to dismiss. Arguably, their client can also sue them for malpractice, and their malpractice carrier is likely to prefer to settle that rather than actually fight the case.
California still lags far behind Florida, a much smaller state, in the acreage of prescribed burns per year. SW Florida is a tropical savanna climate, having a winter fire season. Around 2 million acres per year are burned, and have been since I was a child.

In an ideal world product/project manager types are supposed to suss out these impossible requirements before they even make it to the programmer, but I'm still astounded at the amount of times in my career I'm either asked to do something impossible, suicidal, or flat out wrong. I always just imagined it was the same in other professions, but upon thinking further after reading this, I guess it might not be the case.

Are you using symbol files? I thought most debug info on Windows was put in those, not in the binary itself. We include some debug info with SQL Server, but not symbol files, so that we can debug crashes from production deployments.
Both reddit and twitter have been extremely unprofitable for a long time. The only reason they were allowed to run for so long without making a profit is because investors were willing to bleed money in the hopes that they would be able to make money eventually.

When websites got killed by bad monetization ideas replacements were again available only because of those investors (like the digg->reddit migration).

Overall it's going to be harder for new ones to pop up, and if they are they're going to have those same monetiation schemes.

Especially if that subway also went to the east side of Manhattan.

You do realize there are multiple trash cans available, right? Some that are metal. Of many different sizes.

It would take less time to go store to store across the country and source 4 trash cans than it would to do this ludicrous process.
> This is a mandatory install on macOS for me

Would you mind expanding on that? I'm not sure what I'd improve about my touchpad experience on my Mac.
I think you're spot on, my reaction toward meat is not an intuitive or instinctual human reaction given our evolution. It's something I've developed after becoming vegetarian. Speaking personally, long-running streaks are how I measure success, and my "days since I last ate meat" streak is my longest. This has caused me to develop a tiny paranoia of accidentally eating meat (e.g. ordering an impossible burger and the chef makes a real burger), which reinforces my "yuck, meat" intuition.
Absolutely. I believe I've lost an audio port to this effect before; the plug for my old headphones was large and long, giving it a lot of leverage when I left my laptop on a cushioned ottoman. The plug/cable itself was fine but that port became unreliable after a while and eventually failed completely. Lesson learned, I always put a hardcover coffee table book between laptops and cushions now.
I heard from someone you said a racist word.

Probably. It's also possible just to outsource the whole testing process to to someone else.

He could even contract RedHat to do it. I'm pretty sure even Microsoft would test it for him if the money is right.

I went with Ansible way back when all these were fairly new, because it was not just possible, but considered "culturally", if you will, normal, in that ecosystem, to run it agentless. Having to run a config agent on the target system always felt like a smell, and begging for trouble.

But yaml's friggin' terrible, that's simply true.

As a counterpoint, your recommendation could be similarly received as a command because you omitted the qualifiers indicating it was just your opinion.

In my opinion such qualifiers aren't necessary as there's an implicit understanding that others are sharing their opinions, and are generally explicit in the event that they're not.
I print with an Epson Ecotank ET-8550 which uses bottled ink and I’m happy with the results I get.

People overstate the benefits of third-party ink, tests show that it is frequently awful in performance

http://www.wilhelm-research.com/epson/WIR_Epson3rdParty2007_...

the OEM ink is expected to last 100+ years but some of the third party inks fade in 0.2 years, none exceed 3 years.

Inkjet printing is a serious hobby for me, I print a large number of “three-sided cards” which are intended to be displayed bare (no frame, no glass in front). These are super-low cost (no frame!) so I do expect to replace them frequently, but one ink/paper combination I used faded notably in three months, which I could not accept.

I am always reading accounts of people attempting borderless printing and having inksplosions and often third-party ink is involved. Major vendors are concerned about the VoC content of inks which has an impact on office air quality, cartridge refillers certainly are not. (Isn’t PIRG compared about air quality, health hazards, etc?)

I’m not against third-party ink in principle, but it needs quality standards. Modern inkjet printers produce excellent output if you use quality materials (e.g. fancy coated paper, not “plain white”) and personally I’d never use third-party ink unless I had strong evidence about quality.

Windows isn't Unix, which is one of macOS's biggest selling points for developers and hackers (remember which website you're on). Recommending it as the solution whenever someone complains about macOS is counterproductive, because in many cases it's not a suitable substitute for macOS.

WSL isn't a solution to this problem, especially ever since they gave up adding support to the actual Windows kernel and just used a virtual machine.

I shouldn't have to wait for all my software to add support for putting the WSL wrapper around all of their commands. I should be able to just run them on bare metal. This is why JetBrains IDEs can do profiling, valgrind etc on macOS but not Windows.
The government paid a lump sum for a bunch of stuff. They should be able to verify that the items received represent the lump sum. To do that, they need to itemize the purchases. 1 trash can costs $300, etc.

There are many obvious reasons for this. For example, avoiding fraud and record-keeping (we need 4 more trash cans; how much did we pay last time?).

If we paid $300/can last year, and now Boeing wants $52000/can, we should say "no" and demand Boeing bring down their price or else we will entertain other bidders, to which we can provide exact specifications and retired examples of the required product.
For the last time, "Patient Zero" isn't a thing. There was Patient O, misinterpreted as Patient 0 in the search for the index case of HIV in the US. Never mind that we now know that wasn't the index case, the fact remains that "Patient Zero" is one specific man, whereas the alleged origin case of a novel disease is the "index patient."
Or this new version will just break... I had some nice weeks when the search just didn't work at all... While I was too lazy to restart the computer to fix it...

Then again, I guess any other OS might break in same way. Like my Debian VM just kinda stops responding to part of the screen sometimes if programs are maximised...
Do we know for sure that absolutely no further action is being taken? I really don't know processes, so I dunno if this is it or if this is just one of the consequences, and that the bar association (is that the right org?) they're part of would want to weigh in on it.

Scrum makes it incredibly easy to sneak in poor quality work and cover it up with a web of user stories and tasks.

The "board" takes the focus away from the product.
I'd like to see them open Photoshop or something chunky. That's what I recall taking much longer on my G3 Macs than it does on my M1 Pro Macbook.

They should probably run some sort of antivirus too; this is built-in for Windows now, ya? That'd be my first guess for the small programs. My memory of those days doesn't feel any faster than today, but I never had anything as top-of-the-line as a 600Mhz chip in 1999, more like half of that.
I can't as I was not granted access to that (I filled the form).
This comment is arrogant and objectively isn't correct.

> Imgur would almost certainly be cheaper to run due to the simpler nature of the site. Imgur would just need checking the overall site for content.

Did you even take a second to look at Imgur before confidently saying something so incorrect? The homepage clearly references tags, with individual posts a la subreddits.

Also, it's not like each subreddit is an individual database table or something. You're making it seem like aggregation is a substantial cost when it's just a different DB query.
That's interesting, to me he's the Ansible role guy. He has hundreds of roles, and I've used dozens for F500 clients on RHEL. Him moving away from it means RedHat in all likelyhood will have to pickup the slack and start creating hundreds of supported Ansible roles for RHEL OSes. Wonder if they'll release the source, or require the subscription level with Ansible/Tower to get access to them heh
I disagree. Law (not in a vacuum but as practiced) can distribute power and thus unseat the power of strength alone. In many places throughout history, a strong person could hit whomever they wanted excepting the rich and aristocratic. A man could in this way dominate his family and neighbors. The only recourse was honor killing and revenge.

Today, in many places, even minor assault will result in consequences. In this way, the law redistributes power from the physically strong to those who may be weak but who have legal standing.

Of course, in an absolute sense, everything redounds to power. All law is in the end, enforced at the point of a gun. But this is an observation with very little practical utility IMO. It's like the saying which people employ when things are not going well, "it could be worse".

To be clear, I'm am here making a case for law as an insurance against indivual domination and warlordism which I think it can be. I am not making a case for the state in general though.
So... the problem is that there are too many standards, so they'll introduce one more standard that will solve the problem?
> Are you suggesting that race and weight are equally immutable?

Statistically, they're pretty close.

"The percentage of individuals who lose weight and successfully maintain the loss has been estimated to be as small as 1 to 3 percent."

Every intervention outside of bariatric surgery and maybe these new drugs (we still need to see how those patients are doing in a decade) is virtually guaranteed to fail.

Almost all quoting for non-trivial cases comes down to the [list] command. It does the Right Thing, especially in the critical cases where you're generating a command to call later. Pretty much everything else is either much simpler to the point of needing no thought at all, or complex enough that you're best off writing a command to do it properly (e.g., because you're generating JSON or CSV or some other language like that) as you'll want to test it thoroughly too.

It's hard to be much more specific than that without talking detailed examples.

But nobody is claiming that pollution alone will prevent controlled burn? That is the reductive part that is problematic.

They are a factor, in that you have to do it in a way that addresses pollution concerns. At large, that is probably going to include what accelerants and controls are allowed, as they will have a unique impact on the pollution generated.

Or are you suggesting that the pollution can, in fact, not be controlled and impacted in ways that may need special mitigations?

I disagree with this point. LFP batteries are cheap, high density, and have huge cycle life. The big drawback of LFPs is manufacturing is just starting to ramp up on them. That is, they aren’t available.

LFPs just came out of patent protection last year and you are already starting to see them everywhere. The biggest problem with LFPs today is demand is outstripping supply.
