Why is it so hard to for people to understand that I just want you to serve me the page and bugger off? It's like justifying embedding GPS tracking in pamphlets that people hand out on the street.

I don't want to be tracked period.

Is it that hard?
Badge data is not available in all other western nations due to tracking it beeing illegal.
It is a pretty stupid word, I agree. The replies are correct, English changes over time, but I still get to think it's stupid regardless.
I'm not sure framing it as a joint venture is the right way to frame it, though they use the term to describe it that way. VAG put Mate in charge of a new division - Bugatti Rimac Automobiles. They are the parent company of Bugatti and Rimac. In it, Rimac holds 55%, VAG owns 45%. However, VAG also owns 22% of Rimac below, so VAG has technical controlling interest here. By any regards though, they basically did an Apple/NEXT type of takeover, where VAG bought much of Rimac but Mate took over Bugatti. Obviously, I think this all makes your point stronger.
You need to make sure you're happy with how you're using peoples data and that it falls within the legitimate interest justification (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-re...) IP addresses can be considered personal data.

edit - make sure you've actively made this decision and documented the assessment.

The Good Old Days: why nothing beats getting back to small teams
the frustration part sets in when I start reading the page, and then a whole-page popup interruts that experience and makes me disable cookies. Second frsutration is when I have to go dg for the "no". At this point, I reevaluate whether I really want to read this page or not, and if it's not essential, I close the entire page at this point mouthing a silent "fy".

SO, as others have already said, definitely a "reject all" and be done with it right in the beginning, without the need for any forther clicks. Better yet if the banner is just a sliver on the side that doesn't interrupt my reading experience (clearly, as long as I didn't click "yes" on cookies, it can't set any; so it would be default-no, allows me to read, and if I want to click in the corner for something else, I can. Even better if it has an "X" to close that unintrusive side window, and of course the X gets treated as "reject all".
I wonder how this article about Cloudflare powering Microsoft Edge Secure Network fits in with this story.

How does that apply? It's an extension of an existing rail line.
Battery life is very disappointing indeed, even without overheating. Updating to latest iOS 17.1 Developer Beta seems to reduce the battery drain issue in my experience so far.
You also have to find money to pay for development. About a billion or so a year
I'd like to point out that I answered the question even if not using cookies is not an option.

But to elaborate a bit: At least in Germany (and I believe this applies more or less everywhere) if you install a 1st-party tracking method based on 1st-party cookies, that doesn't fall under the 3rd-party consent requirement and you don't need consent. That means you can track your valuable retention numbers and won't need a consent banner. It's a common misunderstanding that you need that consent for all cookies. You only need it for cookies that aren't required to do your business. And 3rd-party cookies aren't.

It's just that marketing typically don't want to spend any money on this, because these retention numbers turn out to not be enough value to justify the investment. I wonder if they are as valuable as you described at all.

Edit: I should have said 1st-party tracking that doesn't collect personally identifiable information (PII).
You're talking about how society can't take care of existing orphans. I pointed out how it can't even take care of itself.

Also, orphans is an interesting word. This isn't Charles Dickens' London. There really aren't all that many orphans anymore. No big wars, plagues with that one exception are rather uncommon. Don't even do the thing where we steal the infants of unwed teenagers or natives anymore. When some rich people want to adopt, they usually end up having to fly halfway around the world to purchase them from warlords and conmen.
> Do not give people options about cookies - either they accept (and dismiss the notice), or they leave

That's outright and explicitly illegal.

(I just thought I'd make that point in a quicker and simpler way than the otherwise great sister post.)
The writeup by Microsoft is far more illustrative than the frankly confusing post and blog from the main article: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/07/14/ana...

Sigh … It's 2023 and somehow some people still don't know how to use internet discussion boards… Come on, you've been lurking in there for the past 16 years!

The original messages in the sub-thread [1] and the message you were responding to[2] were about UI/UX. Had you responded to the even higher level comment you are referring to[3], then you'd have been on-topic…

The same way, if you started to criticize Crux (the topic of the OP) at this point of the thread, you message would be completely off-topic as well.

Yeah you don't need to do that though. You want to.

There were people quietly pressuring RBG to retire back in 2013, when the Democrats had a fragile majority in the senate and knew they might not get another chance to keep that seat.

This is only true if:

1. There aren't other processes that need to share the system.

2. There are no spikes in memory usage.

Neither are true. The less memory each component uses the more you can run at once and it will likely be faster too.
All these senators that manage to make tens of millions of dollars on their $250k salary should really release personal finance books.
I ran for a city councilmember:

1) You opponents campaign manager will lie about their candidate without qualms.
2) Donors will give money to a scoundrel, as long as they think the scoundrel will win.
3) Voters are actually good at picking up bullshit - in aggregate.
4) Rich white liberal female voters will not vote for a man.
5) Plenty of Black, Asian, and Immigrant voters are conservative, but many reflexively vote liberal.
6) Do it, even if you lose by a small amount like I did, you'll learn a lot and have a lot of fun

One expects this to be satire, but it is stated entirely in earnest:

Freedom is control.

People have always been able to make false or misleading statements, at scale, with either false attribution or none at all. This is a matter of degree, not of kind. The primary difference in method is that now these statements can come from any source rather than only an approved mouthpiece.

Why should generative AI compel us to pervert the meaning of the word "freedom"?
I think you're talking about me, for saying America is starting to remind me of Argentina in certain ways? I assure you I'm not a kook, or a doomsayer. I'm just someone who's lived in both countries through several economic crises, each of which had very different characteristics. Maybe I didn't express myself eloquently enough. You're free to rebut anything I said or to contact me personally. I don't think slandering me by way of slandering the entirety of HN is the exact right way to show you know what you're talking about.

> In Africa, there's someone who lives on $10/month. It's not stopping them.

Very true. How far does $10 a month go in the United States?

> No one cares about that, least of all I.

Not true. There are still people who consider cesarean section to be unnatural birth. There are still people who consider IVF to be unnatural birth. And I don't doubt that whatever "horrors" come our way, there will be people who consider being born that way an unnatural way of being until every third person they meet came into the world that way.
From everything I could tell, one of the reasons Sen Feinstein was sticking around was that the GOP had indicated it would not allow Senate Democrats to replace her on the Judiciary committee. This would deadlock the committee, effectively stalling all judicial appointments and confirmations.

That was in the case of a retirement. This is a death and reappointment. I am unsure if the new Senator would assume Sen Feinstein's previous committee assignments, but all of my instincts around the Senate say no. So we are back in the position of relying on the GOP to allow the new Senator to fully serve and represent the 39 million citizens of California. If you know anything about the modern GOP and their despise for democracy, you know they will never let that happen.

Sorry, California, the 39 million of you only get 1.3 senators for the next 15 months. The 576 thousand people of Wyoming will still get their full 2.
Maybe they can start putting their white collar workers on food stamps too /s
My wife's uncle owns a 2nd hand book shop and also seeks booked by the foot. They are books that are well kept but with near zero resale value - which generally means religious texts and some training materials. Often they are books of catholic scripture or training for subjects where newer materials will be more useful to anyone with an interest in the subject.

Books are sorted by size and colour - if you want to see the sort of books head to a Wetherspoons in the UK - the ones with 'bookcases' are filled with these sorts of books - they have no fear of anyone stealing them! And if they do they are likely worth les than the cutlery they provide.
> deserve what they get sadly

This is incredibly insensitive and dismissive, and victim-blaming.
> So you believe it's OK for the government to use violence to maintain your control over your nebulously owned property, but not to ensure working citizens are not exploited?

I'd happily allow the government to prevent the exploitation of its citizens, but I don't believe that voluntary transactions are exploitation. Why would I want the government to prohibit me from selling my labor at the price I choose?

> So if you fall along the lines that taxation is theft, who do you expect to protect your property if you're not paying anyone to do so? And why should I pay taxes so that the government can protect your property?

Taxation isn't theft when it is utilized to pay for public goods. It becomes akin to theft when my money is taken to be redistributed to folks in such a way I can't consume (non public good).

Currently I have to pay nearly $2k/year in county tax for other people's children to go to daycare. Why on earth am I paying for that? I pay $2k/month per child to send them to daycare and get $0 of the $2k I send to others back to spend on my own children. That is theft.
> > I'm sure there's some obscure reason

> |& isn't POSIX

POSIX, the obscurest of reasons! :)

While I appreciate you taking the time to explain the details, it's not that I haven't tried to learn/remember the specifics but that I tended to use it so infrequently that I'd forget in between uses--and even while knowing the specifics in terms of file descriptors & redirection syntax I would claim the ampersand placement/usage isn't exactly intuitive.

Also, my use primarily tends to be interactive rather than scripting so POSIX compatibility is less of a concern than whether I have to think about it--if I end up somewhere POSIX-compliant that isn't also bash clearly I took a wrong turn and should just through the whole computer out the window. :D

It might be a weird & non-POSIX pipe to die in but at least it's mine. :)

Excuse me but wtf is this because it sure as hell isn’t what journalism means to everyone who isn’t a journalist.
The GDPR law is quite clear - it is MANDATORY to have an equal way to reject consent as to grant it. So basically you must have equally designed button "accept" and "reject" on the same banner frame.

See, the problem is solved even before it appeared - if your company will comply with the law then the banner would not be obnoxious by design.

If you're going to make an accusation against without any evidence, I figured I might link this website with a compilation of accusations that came up during the cruel smear campaign against him, and their debunkings.

I'm not saying that you're lying, just offering both sides of the story to whoever else is reading. Most of the accusations against him have been shown to be misrepresented, greatly exaggerated, or straight-up false.
This kind of stuff happens in blue collar environments. If you have a bad culture and don’t immediately address it then it grows into a huge liability. Considering their safety culture is lax it’s not surprising they are also lax on radical racism

imgui is such a breath of fresh air. I started using it for my game prototypes and engine work, but quickly spread to anywhere I might need a quick cross platform GUI. You can see it everywhere now in the game industry. Pretty much every screenshot that leaks from major studios has imgui on it. It just works.

You understand that there were years before 2016, right? In some of them, Democrats outnumbered Republicans in Congress.

I still remember the plethora of articles about RBG's supercool workout regimen dating back to the early 2010s because she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009. The fixation on her health was largely because everyone knew this woman was getting ready to kick the bucket at some point, but she refused to make her exit before the Republicans took control over Congress.

Just some examples of what I'm talking about as evidence:

Software security is a good example. Lets say you work for a large company, you have 50K repos in your git instance, and you have 10K developers on staff churning out all of that software from the mundane to the mission critical. You want to provide a means for your developers to be good citizens to get out in front of security vulnerabilities.

Building an in house solution to do this is extremely costly in every way imaginable, from the extreme expertise needed, to the ability to do it at a very large scale.

There are a number of vendors out there who provide great software to do things like scan source code, scan dependencies, or scan a live environment for vulnerabilities. The best of those vendors have cloud-only solutions.

You're stuck either accepting the risk that, at the very least, vulnerabilities about your software would be potentially exposed for the world to see, or installing an inferior product on-premise. That potential risk is even greater if your customers depend on you to store things like private and/or financial data.
I hope you recognize that you're everything that's wrong with the modern web.
Single data point:

I spent a few hours following a couple of different (Phoenix) "getting started" guides earlier this year. Nether of them "got me started", but instead into a semi-installed broken state unable to progress without delving into other docs/stackoverflow/etc.

I am no longer in my twenties, I have no patience with that, I take it as a sign that the tech is still for enthusiasts only and I should take another look in a couple more years.

If I was being paid to learn it, I'd persevere, but I was simply curious so I'll wait for others to smooth off the rough edges.
Unfortunately i dont see yours either. We have governments arguing against stronger encryption due to fears of going dark. Which means against having secure systems.

This is in addition to a lot of government agencies sitting on, and investing into the knowledge about vulnerabilities. Some of the more public ones getting fixed doesnt change the overall vulnerability of the system. There is a clear incentive mismatch. One cant pretend that those vulnerabilities are "safe" due to only spooks knowing of them. If you can find them, so can others. Especially if you are actively exploiting them.

I would argue that this shows both an unwillingness to accept improvements in security as well as actively degrading the current state. And this is before talking about governments actively adding vulnerabilities, which now even possible by law in some jurisdictions.

Is there a reason you are limited to JAX/tensorflow and can't use pytorch?

For a lot of people I know whose main job was not to write code, switching from tensorflow to pytorch was something that saved them ten to hundreds of hours in the long run, even accounting for the initial learning time.
Pros:

1. Clear and readable code. Emphasis on pure data being passed around.

2. More minimalist. JavaScript stacks like T3 app (Next.js, TypeScript, tRPC, Prisma) feel like they're solving endless problems caused by other "solutions" in the stack. With Phoenix, you mostly write Elixir, some Ecto macros, sometimes JavaScript for edge cases.

3. Phoenix LiveView is amazingly intuitive

4. Way faster to prototype in, more time in "flow"

Cons:

1. Fewer UI components to pull from if you want to do something complex with the frontend

2. Not a big fan of Ecto macros

3. Have to figure things out yourself (usually read from docs or source code). Difficult for newcomers because of the lack of guides, but good for experienced devs
This, in turn is a rewrite of history. There was a call for her to resign well before the end of Obama’s second term. In fact, it was a hot topic leading up to the 2014 midterms, since Obama had the Senate votes at that time to nominate whoever he wanted.

Human history seems to show that all humans love forming into a single mob to attack some perceived "other." This is a habit which has existed since long before the current "mob" of young people, or the internet, or the Boomers...

The internet makes it really easy to purity test a community into an echo chamber. Many people willingly subject themselves to these purity tests to fit in and be part of the community, which is also why we see negative communities tending toward a downward spiral (like any of the 4chan communities) as people walk step by step to more extremism in their views.

What can we expect when most of the internet is paid for by abusing people's vices. The "whales" of the mobile gaming industry exist in other industries too. The majority of alcohol is purchased by a relatively small percentage of consumers - meaning the alcohol industry's main source of income is people so addicted they drink as much as they can, regardless of consequences.

When your money is made because people can't help themselves, that's blood money. It's not surprising that a society which tolerates (and encourages!) companies to pursue blood money would likewise have other moral failings, including a tendency to separate into tribes and attack different tribes.
Large organizations are exactly what I'm thinking about.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but virtually all social media sites add “nofollow” to links posted on their platform.

This means the link is worthless for your domain authority and tells Google to essentially ignore these links because UGC is notorious for spam. So I doubt it’s having much affect on your organic SEO at all and could in fact be a total waste of your time.

Google has known about comment spam for basically 2 decades.
