The core principle of how EU and GDPR treats privacy rights is that they're inalienable, they're not for sale, they can't be traded away in a contract or arrangement.

So for use cases where you need the user's consent because you don't have a different GDPR-valid reason for processing data (many reasonable use cases don't need consent, but user tracking for advertising generally does), that processing is permitted only if that consent is freely given i.e. willingly 'gifted'.

One way how it's implemented is that if some service if conditional upon 'consent' then there is literally no way to get 'GDPR-valid' consent - the user clicking 'I consent' to bypass a paywall doesn't count as the user consenting, and neither does signing a personalized pen&paper contract saying that the user consents to tracking in return for getting free use of some service, because that's not "freely given consent" and so it doesn't permit Meta to track that user. It's just like signing a contract where you get $10000 in return for agreeing to be enslaved for some time - your freedom is not something that can legally be sold, and so are the privacy rights.

The other way how it's implemented in GDPR is that it must be possible to withdraw consent at any time (including 5 seconds after signing up to a service) without any adverse consequences such as the service being cancelled or increasing in price. Obviously that's not a problem if the consent is freely given, but if someone tries to figure out some roundabout way of buying or trading for consent, the consequence-free cancellation makes the point that it's not supposed to work that way.

Of course, companies are not required to provide any service, and they can require a fee for some services - however what they can't do is buy 'consent' with discounts or free service; the GDPR limitations to tracking users are intended to apply to all tiers of users, no matter what Meta does or wants to do. Meta can gift users free service; users can 'gift' Meta consent to tracking, but they can't make a binding contract on that because under GDPR conditional consent is literally meaningless and worthless.
Wikipedia, which quotes it from a paper from 2017 [1], which in turn takes the number from a paper from 2007. Though taking a quick peek at some papers on specific forms of intersex, it seems like there are both large uncertainties in the actual numbers (about a factor of 2) and large regional differences (a specific form of intersex being an order of magnitude more common in one country than in another seems to be common). Though maybe that's just down to the available data.

Wow. The "US and Canada" ARPU is crazy high. I thought it would be around $10/year not 5 times higher.

Could the increase in ARPU over time be used as a "harm to consumer" argument in favour of antitrust action? The effective "price" of using these services is increasing.
But then why would it have to be a shared counter? Any write to a non-cacheable memory location is transmitted to system RAM, it doesn't have to be shared with other cores, nor does it have to be a counter.

This is a bit of a game of telephone - NT Alpha shipped after NT 3.1 (i386 & Mips) and the port was done almost entirely by DEC. The blue screen preceded the Alpha and was really based on the color scheme from the firmware on the Mips workstation which Microsoft built internally. And, of course, the legendary SlickEdit, which was one of the original editors available on Win32.

After NT 3.1, Microsoft assumed primary responsibility for NT Alpha, although there were also some great people at DECWest still involved.

source: me, I'm the 'someone _else_' who owned all the Alpha stuff at Microsoft.

It sounds more like your family members have an aptitude for pragmatic organizational habits. This works for my parents but a common enough question from others is along the lines of "what do you mean where did I put it, I thought the computer was supposed to remember it?!" No amount of encouragement around the fact that they must have saved, likely named, and at least reopened a particular document dozens of times makes the concept stick in a satisfying way.
So during migration both schemas are valid if I understood correctly?!
It would be awesome if "during migration" could be lifted to a point where it is possible to keep both schemas (old and new) for as long as I want and do migrations/transformation of incoming request (like queries) on the fly.
Then I could map my different api version to different schemas and these on the fly transformation would be able to take care of the rest in many scenarios :-)
I'd be willing to bet money that the operative words here are "wants to". As in, they'd like to, and someone floated it as a possibility, but no one on the team is actually taking it seriously as a real strategy going forwards. $14/month is a crazy high fee.

Mainstream phones today can generally be repaired commercially, even if they are devices criticized as not being self-repairable.

> the same is true even if you then choose to buy a new one, because an old appliance that can be repaired and resold has a higher trade in value. The lack of repairability costs you money whether you do the repairs yourself or not.

TCO is a complicated subject. A more repairable device does not necessarily have a cheaper TCO. Some of the costs of building and/or repairing a device scale linearly, and some scale exponentially. And they tend to depreciate logarithmically. Based solely on TCO, there is an optimum expected lifetime, and it mathematically isn't "as long as possible"

> Do people really apply for hundreds of jobs?

I’ve done it twice. The first time was when I was 18 or 19 trying to get my first job in the industry. I put in a ton of applications, and while it felt tedious, it only took around three months at the end of the day.

The second time was this time. I’ve probably put at least 100 applications in over the past year, and it’s been very hit or miss on whether I get interviews. I don’t bother researching and applying for the few jobs in interested in, because I’m usually not qualified for them. Most of my recent job applications have been exclusively ones that looks like they’re relevant compared to my resume, and some that are different from the work I’ve done in the past, but utilize tangential skills.
Interesting to know. I don't drive but I saw enough how getting a car in the way of other cars (or pedestrians to slightly lesser degree) without already having a way out is a dice roll. Thought it might not be allowed
I think "Scratch for business" is an excellent way to think about Superblocks. Like IFTTT or Zapier but with an orientation toward what the old promises of JBPM and similar used to make but could never deliver on.

> Why does it even need its own name?

So that other DHT implementations can exist and potentially replace the existing one.

Same for go-ipfs being renamed. We generally don’t have web browsers named after the protocol they use. And with multiple ipfs clients, one of them being named “ipfs” is itself confusing.

Frankly, both should have probably happened years ago.

The manager always has power to change the price of gas. At the big chains the manager is required to drive around and note the price of all the other stations and then apply that to some other formula to decide what price to mark. If any station doesn't everyone in town figures out where the low price is and that station runs out of fuel and has to pay for an expensive emergency delivery. This is why stations in the same area all have the same price.

Your story is from the 1990s, just based on the state of technology we can assume that the pump prices were set at a computer inside the station that wasn't networked. The computer probably had a modem that called headquarters once a day to upload information, but the manager directly edited the prices when there was need to change prices.

Note that the manager drives around to look at the posted prices on all stations around. The manager is not allowed to talk to the managers of each station as this would violate federal monopoly laws (this does happen all the time, but legally they cannot do it and that is policy any chain will have - they may or may not ignore a manager ignoring the law depending on if they think they would be caught).
Well, then I suppose you could rightfully punish the manufacturers for cars sold in Europe that don't have them. But, you should probably not punish manufacturers for cars sold in the US that don't have them until you make it illegal to sell cars without them in the US...

I ended up needing this so often for graph processing, and for values which might be inexact if using floating point, that I saved the formula in a blog post. https://vladfeinberg.com/2020/03/07/subset-isomorphism.html

The formula can be "oblivious" to the final size of the matrix too, which is helpful if you're doing some sparse ML training on edges (e.g., GNNs).

For me it goes beyond repair, if I sell the device later and the next user wants more RAM, they have the option to do so. Plus bringing ram forward between mainboard upgrades (save for transitions between DDR4, DDR5, and whatever else may come in the future).

The law states that it's unavoidable for the implementation details to show in some cases, since you can't abstract away everything without being as complicated as the thing you're abstracting -- a "trivial" abstraction.

For non-software examples look at the history of the laws of physics. Newtonian gravity worked great for many things, but at some point scientists noticed for example that the orbit of Mercury didn't drift as predicted. This was fixed with the theory of General Relativity, which could be said was "leaking through" with the orbit of Mercury.

However, this doesn't mean that the abstraction is useless. Newtonian gravity is much easier to work with and works just fine for many applications, which is why it's still widely taught and used. But at some point, you have to deal with the leaks, and for that you have to know relativity (or become a research physicist, since we now suspect relativity to have leaks of its own)
Fairly poorly. My personal experience was better in Q1 and Q2 of 2022 than it is now.

> no known material has enough tensile strength

I know that's true of Niven's ringworld, which is just unholy scale and parameters - 1 rotation like the earth does in a year, every 9 days! (1)

And so it cannot be made from atoms, something with "tensile strength similar to the strong nuclear force" is needed (2)

But is it true of Banks's more practical Orbital as well? This reference says yes: "No form of ordinary matter will support the tensions of a Banks Orbital's spin, so exotic matter is required." (3)

My own litmus-test for "full stack" (which may be a lower bar than for some others) isn't that the person can whip up a full stack of anything anywhere, but that they know enough to trace problems up and down through the stack.

Ex: The visual bug caused by the CSS style applied by the JS code that operated off the data from the server from this call which came from that database query which was bad data because of that process which was triggered by this call that comes from that UI button, etc.

It's good to have competition, and not many Android phones get 5 years of warranty like the new Fairphones.

iPhones are great in that they get security updates for a long time, and they can be repaired if you can afford it. Fairphone is just a different, cheaper option.

Nobody loses money when you measure infinitesimal gravitational waves from black holes colliding across the universe. If it affected climate change, it would be a different story - the conspiracy of astrophysicists who also traffic baby goats, Einstein was a hoax, black holes aren't settled science, why don't we measure gravity waves in America/UK rather than foreign gravity waves, etc.

I just tried it on my RTX 3090, with a riced linux environment + pytorch/xformers nightly, and 4 images take 36.7 seconds on the ComfyUI backend (used by Fooocus-MRE).

...But the issue is, right now, you can either pick high quality tooling (The ComfyUI/automatic1111 backend UIs) or speed (diffusers-based UIs), not both. InvokeAI and VoltaML do not support SDXL as well as Fooocus at the moment, and all the other UIs use the slow Stability backend with no compilation support.
I'm just wondering if it is actually how you said, i.e. they don't want to provide free support to companies vs how he write, i.e. not enough users.
If you can afford a Fairphone 5, it seems a Sony is within your budget. Sure, they make a $1600 phone, but they also make multiple phones that are much cheaper or similarly priced.

Xperia 1 IV: $755 (same price as Fairphone)

I remember when Rick Belluzzo became CEO at SGI. He immediately started pushing Windows NT and Itanium abandoning IRIX and MIPS.

They're a direct replacement for most of the ad-filled search queries you might have used Google for before like "Trip ideas for Paris" or "Meal plan ideas". The best part is that you can ask follow up questions with the same interface, which you can't after clicking onto some random web page match from the search results.

Using them for something like "SQL error: <some copy/pasted error>" is much more dicey, but Google is unlikely to get much ad revenue from a query like that anyways.

Sure, the use case of "find this page" isn't going away, but I'd be quite scared if I were Google, because the use case where they make the most money is going to be handled by LLMs shortly instead of search.
The extension was the reference implementation of the TS. As for its uses, IBM was the main organisation to push for this (they implemented DFP extension on gcc too) so I guess their customers (most probably on the mainframe business) have a need for it.

Because it wasn't clear that it was obvious, from your previous comment.
Let's assume the technology will eventually work.

What if you had a "personal font"? Sure, you have a user name, but what if you had a custom-generated font which communicates your personality to other people on the Internet? The font could be on a spectrum between static (generated once and reused indefinitely) and dynamic (continuous online learning of personal information causes an adjustment of the font).

I'm just making up an example here, but say you're feeling sad, and your smart technology figures out you're feeling sad. When you send a text message to family, then your personal font takes on "sad" characteristics.

Here's a direct link to the FTX debtors complaint against the parents (PDF):

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.deb.188...

The Preliminary Statement begins with:

> This action seeks to recover millions of dollars in fraudulently transferred and
misappropriated funds from the parents of FTX Founder Samuel Bankman-Fried (“Bankman-
Fried”): his father, Defendant Allan Joseph Bankman (“Bankman”), and his mother, Defendant
Barbara Fried (“Fried”). As Bankman-Fried’s parents, Bankman and Fried exploited their access and influence within the FTX enterprise to enrich themselves, directly and indirectly, by millions of dollars, and knowingly at the expense of the debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases (the “Debtors” or the “FTX Group”) and their creditors.

How is this extortion? People who want to use the service but don't want to pay with their data can pay with their wallet. Everyone wins.
I might pay $14/mo for Facebook + Instagram + Threads + WhatsApp if there was no tracking or ads whatsoever. Emphasis on the "whatsoever". And it's not just because of how I use these apps now, but also for how I might better use them if they actually had a user-first mentality. Or at least not user-last.
I would say the opposite. The people who are able and willing to pay are worth the most to advertise to. So if Facebook wants to maintain revenue, it has to set the ad free price high because they are losing their most valuable product, richer people’s attention.
There is a doctor shortage that is set to get worse:

https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/sustainability/...

https://time.com/6199666/physician-shortage-challenges-solut...

The population goes up and the number of doctors hasn't kept pace. They're trying to replace a lot of doctors with cheaper & quicker to train NPs (Nurse Practitioner) for preventative care but that won't occur soon either.

While it is easy to point fingers at COVID-retirements, it isn't that simple. It may have quickened the effects of the shortage but it was coming down the pipe long before COVID. Much like the housing shortage it is failure to plan for and build for a larger population.

There isn't a shortage of people wanting to become doctors, there is a shortage of spots in specialties and a wealthy enough subset of the population who can support their children through their mid-late 20s while they make negative income (inc. residency).
