My chosen occupation is hermit, and I honestly don’t give a damn. Why would I care about the judgment of someone who I deem contemptible?

Unfortunately, my life since my schooldays has only exacerbated my cynicism - I have yet to encounter a competent medic, a lawyer whose work I didn’t have to check and correct, tradespeople who know the first thing about their erstwhile craft, or a business leader I didn’t run rings around. When I see people who I knew on television talking about the glorious future for their party and the country, and recall their proclivities for self-aggrandisement and shameless dishonesty, my toes curl.

When I do encounter competent and able people, they are invariably being used by someone with more Machiavellian tendencies than themselves.

The world is almost entirely run by blowhards - not the most competent or qualified people, yet those who shout the loudest.

So I am a hermit. My world is 20 hectares of woodland and endless projects, where I am well away from the ship of fools, and have scarce dependence on the competence of others.

The point is, they don't want people to fix or upgrade their hardware, and they will fight to defend this strategy. Give me one reason why they should to it, from their perspective. If they have them glued, the equipment has shorter life and customers need to purchase a new one quicker. And since they can't replace components themselves, they have to pay exorbitant prices for 16 GB RAM or 1 TB storage that is cheaper than ever.

These are nice machines, though, and I buy one for building iOS apps every couple of years - but usually 1-2 generations later so that the pricing is more reasonable.
If I saturate your uplink with UDP, none of your TCP is going to get through. Before you have a chance to drop it at your firewall. You have to get your ISP to do that for you, and hope there isn't too much traffic for their uplink.

now, I don't get many chances to tell my flambé story, it's not like the subject comes up very often.

I was at a ridiculously overpriced resort up around Santa Barbara, and we dined in the house restaurant. Mostly we order things compatible with red wine, and one of our selections on this occasion was the Filet Mignon; not my preferred cut at all but it was what they had.

So, it arrived tableside on a little cart, and the waiter proceeded to flambe it to within an inch of its life (by which I mean an inch past that boundary) and the whole performance, specialty of the really old waiter, seemed so old fashioned it jogged my memory I got to thinking "isn't this Steak Diane?" which I somehow remember from my childhood, along with rumaki.

It was late, kitchen was closing, too much other food, and we didn't want to make a fuss, so we let them serve us the piece of shoe leather. But I did ask to see the menu again just to refresh my memory and figure out what happened. And, there was the Filet Mignon, and there was the Steak Diane, and then it struck me! I know what happened.

When I ordered the Filet Mignon, they must have heard "I'd like the flaming one"...
According to Financial Times [1], Revolut submitted their application for a UK banking license in 2021. To be clear, it is still pending. (Tip: Run away!) I think it is a terrible idea to keep more than 1000 EUR (or equiv) with them. Only an amount that you can 100% afford to lose. Their audits are smelly as hell. And why would you "bank" with an org that isn't licensed... for banking? The unnecessary risks that people take with their finances are just bizarre to me.

EU law makes that distinction, as I understand it. If the cookie is absolutely required to do something the user explicitly (not implicitly) requested, then you don't need consent. If you can get the user to explicitly request your business model including the use of these specific cookies then you're good to go.

Good point.

However, when they’re that close in performance, I think power usage should be taken into account. It’s a laptop CPU after all. Maybe I’d rather have 80% of the performance at 4x the battery life

As I see it, there is a hierarchy of packaging needs, the base levels have been solved over and over with new, better, shiny all you need tools -- while the most tricky, complicated part has been solved over and over separately with each project.

* Pure python -- Easy, use one of the declarative ones.
* Python + Standalone C -- not too bad, use the build tool.
* Python + external (potentially distro supplied) C libraries -- Using setup.py, customized, and different for each project.

That last one is where Pillow, the ML space, scipy, and others live, and it's painful. Pillow has a 1000 line setup.py file to find all the optional (and 2 required) dependencies and headers on it's platforms. We've also got code to build the dependencies if necessary for packaging. To port this to some standard, we'd effectively need rpm or dpkg style build infra from PyPa, to work on all the supported platforms.

One of the key problems is that both gmail and Yahoo UIs actively encourage users to report messages as spam rather than unsubscribing. Yahoo is particularly bad at this; it's common for me to receive spam reports from yahoo on an entirely double-opt-in social site I run. My reaction there is to remove the reporter from all lists because the amount of damage a single spam report can do is immense; a single spam report can block delivery for weeks at a time to the 10k others that legitimately requested messages. Hotmail/outlook/live is much the same in encouraging spam reporting over unsubscribe, however, their penalties are not as excessive as Yahoo's.
Would be worth expanding the worldview. It's the people that suck, the psychologists are in an effort to categorize this condition so they can talk about it better and develop techniques to address it. Can't blame them.

But yes it's a misanthropist view, I know.
I assume you are asking in good faith.

I could configure my browser to add some custom headers to my HTTP requests, like `DONTDOTHISTHINGTHATISIMPORTANTTOME` or something. I don't think courts would accept that, as it's not an established interface / protocol, and furthermore GDPR does in fact allow for data-processing if it's needed / required to offer the service.

By providing an interface standard, however, the browser vendors have kind of set the stage for the courts accepting DNT as a valid communication medium for the service consumer to state intent to the service provider. This is akin to the courts taking into account how the card-payment terminal works when ruling on matters of card-payment in stores, etc.
I've watched that video when it came out, but my point is that you can fly monthly between european countries without ever coming across proper boarding procedures. Don't get me wrong, it infuriates me, but this is the sad reality we live in.

Even on the flight from Helsinki to Bangkok there was only priority vs non-priority distinction, even though the tickets had different seating groups. Could have saved us all some convenience, but no, we all had to board the plane very chaotically.

Which is why I am usually the last one to go to the boarding, I can chill on comfy seat for 20-30 minutes instead of standing in chilly or boiling hot weather/boarding tunnels.

All of these happen in your formal education (middle school to college, include junior club as well if you want to count in elementary school) anyway. You won't miss any of that anyway unless you are in a rural area with little resources.

Well it's still quite extraordinary to see people on HN to remind my how the process is, as if my life in China was a faded dream. If HN always prefer internet material than say personal experience then here are the two major stages:

It gets better than that. Once, I've seen / caught in the act / one ads-distributee who damaged the sticker on my box' lid. He was scratching it with a key. Then, suddenly vanished after seeing me.

After that, I got ads put into my box again. Once I asked one distributee if he can't see the sticker.. "it's damaged. So I thought you wanted to remove that, but it made problems so yo left it striken through"
You are asking why subcontracting exists.
On the point of success and the rich believing it is just luck whilst the working-class beliefs it's hard work: Maybe both is true. Becoming successful in working class jobs often *does* require hard work, whilst becoming successful in upper-class jobs depends more on other factors such as luck. For example, to become a great construction worker, you need physical strength, stamina, and a strong work ethic, as the job involves long hours of manual labour. On the other hand, landing a high-paying job in finance or tech might depend more on being in the right place at the right time, networking, having access to resources and opportunities etc.
That's why the best strategy is divide&conquer - run the razors concurrently.

Assume complexity then move towards simplicity.

Assume simplicity then move towards complexity.

One of them will succeed sooner than the other. Dialectic...

I called, the automated phone system was designed to funnel me towards a real person rather than away from one; one layer of inputs and I was in a queue. I spoke with someone in less than 5 minutes, they spoke my language well (English) and didn't seem to be in a hurry, and they listened to me vent a bit and ultimately answered my question.

Then I called a related state run entity. Their phone system was long and confusing, I chose the wrong option and had to start over, and after what felt like a successful hack I got put in a 30 minute queue and ultimately gave up.
I think OP is saying that the creation of high paying useless job is causing the bulk of the money that exist in the system to not mean much. Which is why we have inflation, because the increase in the amount of money does not scale with the amount of "value". Imagine if government is spending half of the money printed to people staring at walls. This would naturally double the inflation because it requires double the amount of money to produce the same amount of "value".

So the government is pumping money, but is not getting the desired signal, so it pumps more money.
it doesnt matter how they get there...the issue is some random guy has the privilege to say meh to my comments without further explanation

My local dentist has a cookie consent banner up and it's certainly not because they need that vital web tracking of the odd person who tries to find their opening hours but because it's the default setting of their hosting provider.

If it becomes a hassle for companies to deal with this it'll lead to data minimization.

Most companies do not need detailed analytics beyond counting inbound links.

> And that could hurt his bottom line. People there for the drama may not be paying customers. They may essentially be internet trolls.

That's the magic of the "attention economy" - the people that get emotionally invested in the dramas surrounding you are better than "paying customers", because they check their brains out and switch to ingroup/outgroup mode - at which point you can sell them absolutely anything whatsoever. In contrast, paying customers are just annoying - they have opinions, and aren't going to give your person the time and sustained attention - the kind of following that both you and the platform you're on can effectively monetize through friction (i.e. continued ad exposure).

Right now this seems to be the generic recipe for printing money on social media:

1. Become an influencer and work at it until existing influencers treat you as one of their own;

2. Start engaging in the semi-regular, petty, totally not scripted fights with your fellow influencers;

3. Sign a deal for putting your name on some random bullshit commodity product, like idk. eyeliners or perfumes or makeup kits, and watch money roll in.

4. Optional: bonus points if you can turn that deal info a story of two influencers having a falling out over who gets paid for the bullshit product from point 3. You can milk that kind of thing for years, all the while selling your audience the same or different flavor of bullshit with your name on it.

The market is full of fraud, and the surveillance exists as a counter to the fraud. Users are surveilled in an effort to prove that they are real users, not bots that are being used to fake impressions or clickthroughs. It's all very messy.

I dont care about what holds universally “true” in some peole’s minds about _my_ property. That’s communism. I am an individual therefore i care about _my_ ownership. Communism wanted to make everything belong to everyone. Philosophical darwinism proved that that concept is wrong. What’s mine is mine, period.

I never pirate software and no, I dont think piracy is a good idea either. I believe in open source and that human knowledge should he free in the sense of librem but i equally believe that that should be according to terms and conditions. So i, as a human, would like to read and understand your idea but if you dont wish to grant me the right to monetise it - sure.
My son learned deliberate practice young (10?). He'd play through a cello piece phrase by phrase, carefully, slowly then speeding up, getting it exactly right before moving on to the next.

When he'd finished a piece to the end, he could discard the sheet music and just play it. Because it was now a familiar map in his mind.

The trouble with just running-through a piece without doing it deliberately is, now you've poisoned yourself with a shoddy performance. You then have to unlearn your initial mistakes.
I'd love if this became a EU-wide law. If you send the DNT header, then you can't get cookie consent alerts since you already do not consent being tracked.

You either have consent or you do not. Mixed signals do not permit you to err to your benefit.

EU courts have already ruled that "cookie banners" that are too-confusing aren't considered consent.
Strongly disagree. Integration tests work brilliantly until a certain size or complexity is hit and then they become really bad. Unit tests are harder to write and maintain, but they will serve you much better in the long run because when they fail it’s much easier to understand and debug.

The worst sort of tests are integration tests which secretly depend on another integration test having run first, which will be true 99% of the time, until a change you make changes the order.

I think they are calling out how no one besides the really big multination's actually cares what the EU does and will just continue to ignore whatever rulings they make.

Enforcement is always the biggest issue with these kind of laws and the EU has been taking a slow approach so people barely care.
