I interpret this as an opt-in as you can just scroll past the banner and not be tracked. If the site starts tracking without clicking the consent the banner is useless, or maybe even worse than useless, from the legal point of view.

It's maddening how people just refuse to understand the GDPR. This is likely partly due to intentional misinformation campaigns from the spyware (i.e. advertisement) industry. And then the cargo cult takes care of the rest.

The general gist of GDPR is that if you're not doing some shady shit that your visitors wouldn't want you to do, you don't need a consent. As you said, it has nothing to do with cookies.

And yes, Google Analytics etc are shady shit that your visitors wouldn't want you to do.

Also most of the nags you see all the time are illegal for any sane intepretation of the law. But the regulators just don't care to enforce the law at all. So if you want to do shady shit, just do it without adding to the insult with having to bother with your illegal nag.

Not all cultures have the same personality. Some combinations are more compatible than others.
I have to say I feel like there's a lot of comments in this thread that are just totally detached from reality. I moved from Toronto to Berlin in 2017 and a lot of comments in here about living in fear of Muslims is just ... I don't know what part of Germany you are living in, and I visited a lot of it. I went to Karnival in Köln, and small beer festivals in the Bavarian countryside, I talk to locals in every city I go to.

I do however distinctly remember that when I lived in Toronto my social media feed was absolutely polluted with hype about how refugees are taking over Europe and the migrants are everywhere and there are countless no-go zones and endless rapes and the end of Europe was imminent.

Then I moved here, and literally not even once have I seen or felt any of that. I have however seen the far-right media endlessly look for bad events and a way to pin it on migrants. I have seen AfD marketing to tell people they will somehow "fix things" by replacing burkas with burgundy wine.

I've also seen that the neo-Nazis try to overthrow the government (Reuß) and carry out domestic terrorist acts (Hanau for example), the constant planning for "Tage X" and stealing weapons from the army, and the arm of the government charged with constitutional protection constantly needing to stop Nazi activity or investigate problems with the AfD or the military or other important authorities.
>Not sure how being able to reason about good behaviour in an effective manner that's collectively beneficial isn't in the domain of intelligence.

That's neither here nor there.

Having the intelligence "to reason about good behaviour in an effective manner that's collectively beneficial" doesn't mean you're constrained to reason and act only on that, and not also able to reason and act on behavior which is beneficial to you to the detriment of others and the collective.

And it's pefectly intelligent to follow the latter if you can get away with it, and if the benefit for you is more than your share of the collective benefit alternatives would be.

>We have moral philosophy as an academic discipline, after all.

And how has that been working out for us?

(Not to mention, keyword: academic).

>Human brains develop in interrelation. Much, if not all of our intelligence gets developed in relation to other humans and beings.

Yes, and a lot of it is devoted to duping and getting the upper hand of those other humans and beings. So?

How would you read Japanese without kanji? The lack of a space character makes all hiragana sentences far less legible than sentences with kanji which act as word boundaries.

Japanese words are lengthy compared to English as well. Kanji packs more content into less space.

I agree that the existence of “rare kanji” is a bit strange, but 8,000 or so characters seems reasonable, especially with so many compound kanji.

Sure let’s debate what version we have to live with, but not whether we should continue the experiment in the first place. Social media isn’t inevitable. We could just say no thanks and move on. It’s not too late (yet) imo for society to choose to say no thank you. There will come a day when it becomes completely inconceivable to have a society without it, but even the fact that you could consider it not being there proves we aren’t at that point yet.

(Posted on social media).
Oh I see, you're really serious about this.
For some people I know, the thought of more (mass) migration is negative because they think it will aggravate existing problems in other areas like a low wages (especially in low skill labour due to increased competition) or the FUBAR housing market in some cities (again, due to increased competition on an already strained market).

For the last part they're definitely right, IMO, and german politics must find a way to solve the housing problem in big cities. The government must find a way to break the "migrants take away part of your cake" narrative, and this is only possible by increasing the size of the cake.

In this case, we need to aggressively build (and incentivize to build) more housing. We're doing the opposite at the moment, if the german construction industry is to be believed, which is very very bad. Building a house became insanly expensive in the last 20 years, especially in the areas where it is needed most. Redistribution by moving senior tenants in big cities to suburban or rural areas will not solve the shortage, neither will "just go to rural east germany, there's enough housing".

We have to solve these problems and prevent the formation of zero-sum games where migrants are seen as (external) competitors, stat - it'll be an existential social question and a threat to the country (and the long-term perspective of migrants) if we do not, IMO.
No need for the disclaimer on the dragons, especially as we can't prove they have not existed [even though we both know they haven't].
Edit: Check out Dasher for a much better interface to enter text with a cursor, compared to a virtual keyboard.

https://dasher.acecentre.net/ , source at https://github.com/dasher-project/dasher

---

I remember seeing a program years ago, which used the mouse cursor in a really neat way to enter text. Seems like it would be far better than clicking on keys of a virtual keyboard, but I can't remember the name of this program nor seem to find it...

Will probably get some of this wrong, but just in case it rings a bell (or someone wants to reinvent it - wouldn't be hard):

The interface felt like a side-scrolling through through a map of characters. Moving left and right controlled speed through the characters; for instance moving to the left extent would backspace, and moving further to the right would enter more characters per time.

Up and down would select the next character - in my memory these are presented as a stack of map-coloured boxes where each box held a letter (or, group of letters?), say 'a' to 'z' top-to-bottom, plus a few punctuation marks. The height of each box was proportional to the likelihood that letter would be the next you'd want, so the most likely targets would be easier+quicker to navigate to. Navigating in to a box for a character would "type" it. IIRC, at any instant, you could see a couple levels of letters, so if you had entered c-o, maybe 'o' and 'u' would be particularly large, and inside the 'o' box you might see that 'l' and 'k' are bigger so it's easy to write "cool" or "cook".

hit the nail on the head with that typo
My last CRT TV had a picture in picture mode. When ads started I pressed the PiP button on the remote, placed the channel I was looking at in the PiP window and started watching something else. When the ads were over I came back to that channel or stayed on the other one if I found something more interesting.

I watch TV on my tablet now, streamed from a Raspberry PI with a TV Hat. Again, I activate the popup player, start browsing, maybe checking HN or whatever. I put the volume off. Maybe I start doing something else. The advantage of a tablet is that I can bring it with me wherever I go in my house. The TV, not so much. I rarely switched on my TV in the past two years.
If you continue to give Google money you'll continue to get things like AMP, Manifest V3, Web "Integrity", and whatever else they think up to track you across the web.

They're an ad company. They pay the creators per impression even if you block the ads. Blocking ads harms Google, not the content producers.
I feel that this is not fair because in a sense these big cities belong to the world because all of them leach on global population to build their riches and therefore I find that they are morally obliged to give something back. Forcing others into small dirty hotel rooms without an option to feel the real city is is like building a fence around a public shore.

There is no logic in that comment.

Your counter to life being machines is just baselessly discrediting those of the opinion. Ad-hominem.

Considering a cell to be a single machine does not make it equivalent to another machine (a computer), and certainly doesn't make that other machine equivalent to the millions of cells we just saw divide. "A is a machine, B is a machine, therefore A is B" - a false equivalence.

Cells are conclusively machines, by the definition that they execute a fixed purpose dictated in whole by the parts it was made of - parts that we can change to modify the operation of the machine, a well studied subject used extensively in e.g. pharma (reprogrammed bacteria is how people get insulin).

That conscious life is poorly understood does not somehow change the fact that the only building block used to make it in nature is a small biomechanical automaton.

While we love to glorify our own existence and capabilities, our recent advances in LLMs also show how simple machines - even if significantly flawed due to practical resource limitations and intentional design limitations - can end projecting a convincing mimicry of our conscious behavior, despite having a simple, phrase-completing nature. It might make you wonder what simple initial purpose might dictate our behavior.

True. But then they should focus on one or the other and don't cause contradictions.

It is hard to understand how you can have 'Refugees welcome' and 'Full support for our LGBTQ' agendas at the same time.

I am from South Africa, we are neighbors to Zimbabwe that has just "elected" the same corrupt government in that has been in control for 60 years, they claim to support redistribution and blame minorities and western governments for all their failings but in reality handing over productive land to peasant farmers has caused extreme poverty and starvation.
That is the outcome of redistribution, the same happened in China and Russia.

There were waves of migration within Europe before WWII, that sometimes created some tension but by and large it only took a generation to assimilate them because in general (1) they made efforts to assimilate and (2) cultures were close enough that it wasn't too difficult.

An example is Italian migrants to France (and other European countries) in the late 19th and early 20th century.

What has happened since and is still happening, is a combination of continuously very large numbers of migrants and lack of assimilation.
I will check it out. Thanks for sharing.

So you are saying, when someone has enough money, others MUST sell to them, because maybe it is beneficial for the economy?

"What's more, the billionaires are clearly offering a clearly profitable deal for everyone, specifically so that nobody has an excuse to refuse "

When I like my land and I don't want to sell, than this is simply my right, no matter how much you think I have no excuse.

Building important infrastructure or mining critical ressources are rare exceptions for forced landsell, but not because someone wants to build a city for the rich on my land.

So sure, it is a tricky problem to buy from many owners, but getting the government to help you with your private project to force a contract on other people is kind of the definition of corruption.
It could be done well. It would require some people with a better plan than "let's put cones on driverless cars hurr durr durr".

That doesn't seem forthcoming, though.

There's also no reason you can't have both. Private companies testing driverless cars are not preventing the city from building other public transit.

These are not serious people. Sure, when they’re contacted by a reporter they can say some nice-sounding things like “we want better public transit“, but they aren’t actually doing anything that could reasonably be expected to result in that happening. All they’re doing is juvenile petty vandalism.
Presumably this involves installing new CA certs on your devices, no?
There is perhaps a survivorship bias in those studies, since divorce is so easy now, only people who are happy in marriage remain. i.e. reported happiness in marriage increases while everyone unhappy simply divorces and so the numbers would get swayed that way. Divorce rates have rocketed and women are very likely to leave marriages these days in many countries. So you end up with a tiny happy cohort that has no bearing on the wider population. So you should produce your sources to see how this is accounted for, ideally.

Yes, in the 90ies they closed all the gathering places for kids in general, there's nowhere to go for them. So they hang out at the train station or do drugs at the cemetery.

In places where kids could hang out there were kickers or you could paint or work with clay. That's all gone, so now lots of them do crime or dumb things when hanging out.
> if THEY CHOOSE to restrict themselves by requiring "pure" open source software only, thats THEIR fault, not mine.

It is nobody's fault. Just like nobody can force you to choose a "pure" open source license, nobody can force them to use your software. Just like you have the prerogative to choose whatever license you want, they have the prerogative to choose "pure" libre software. It's all fair and well and nobody is at fault for exercising their choices.

Most of the time though, the non-profits go for "pure" libre software because their legal team has already provided a blanket approval for all libre licenses. So it is less hassle for them to choose libre software available under these licenses. Choosing a noncommercial license would be more procedural hassle for them in terms of reviews, approvals, etc. Yeah it may sound stupid to not use otherwise perfectly good software due to a legal and procedural technicality, but I'm just saying how things are and not necessarily how things should be.
Defensive Programming for an Unreliable Financial API
As far as I understand it there are multiple levels to this. One of the mechanisms is that the cells don't necessarily know where to stop or where to fold - but as everything is being done in decentralised manner the cells reach boundaries of other structures and this will then "shape" the structure. It's an extremely efficient data compression where the instructions many times don't include specific measures or counts (e.g. of fingers) but are more about just timing or symmetry breaking. Imagine construction workers being told to just keep making a wall until they can't build anymore because they will hit another wall (and the other wall is being built with similar instructions). The limits can be spatial, chemical, probably bioelectric...

Google had experience in designing languages so they can be parsed quickly, that's one of Go's design goals. Javascript, on the other hand, is made fast out of necessity, not out of design. I wouldn't take a Javascript parser to be the be-all and end-all of parser performance. If Google has applied any of the lessons learned from Go, they could easily exceed V8, even with curly braces.
How does Phylum detect these attacks?
It’s indeed a sad development and one of the reasons I emigrated to Thailand.

The Netherlands was a lovely place when I was young, in the 80s - 90s, but the country has been going downhill fast in the past few decennia.

I think most people at this time still don’t realize their pensions will be gone, social security will provide less as time goes on and cities will become unsafer. And since people don’t realize this, they keep voting the status quo until it’s too late. I don’t think at this point there’s a way to go back.

My girlfriend asked me to arrange a Dutch passport for our daughter, but I haven’t bothered as of yet. I think Asia has a much brighter future ahead compared to Europe (mainly EU), so I doubt my daughter will need the passport to study abroad. She’ll be able to create a good life for herself here in Thailand or perhaps some other ASEAN country.
It's true. I was aware of the humor when I replied.

A big issue with immigration in Europe is not about economics but about identity, society, and culture.

This is caused by too many people coming in from vastly different cultures. And so there is nothing wrong with being in favour of vastly reduced immigration numbers.

Your take is to accept high immigration numbers as an unavoidable fact and therefore to only look at how to deal with them, and still only in terms of economics.
