There's no such thing as "consenting to legitimate interest" in the GDPR. Those are two different mechanisms. Legitimate interest does not require consent. If it requires consent or can simply be opted out to, it's not legitimate interest and therefore requires consent.

Those two-stage "legitimate interest" opt-out toggles are pseudo-legal nonsense dreamt up by (mostly non-EU?) companies trying to shoehorn their business model into the new legislation, just like the "consent pop-ups" that don't provide a single-click "disagree with all". Those are actually explicitly forbidden by the ePrivacy directive btw: there must be a first-level "disagree with all" button and it must be as visible as the "accept all" button if there is one.

I actually see nothing in this ruling about DNT that makes DNT do anything that isn't already the default under the GDPR. As far as I can tell, the ruling just supported the claim that LinkedIn was demonstrating deliberate intent in its violation of the GDPR by saying it does not consider DNT to be relevant. It was likely already violating the GDPR based on what the article describes, this just establishes a justification to issue a serious fine rather than just a warning.
I don't know about "throwing people in jail", but putting criminals in jail certainly reduces crime rates. As opposed to not putting convicted criminals in jail.

PBGC relies on being bailed out all the time. Most recently, multi employer plans got another federal taxpayer bailout:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/07/business/dealbook/bailout...

If they didn’t, PBGC would have easily failed. The whole thing is an excercise in who has sufficient political power to get bailed out, and if I am playing that game, why not just directly put my hand in the SP500 and ensure I am bailed out directly rather than maybe via proxy.

Honest question: what is the problem with unrealistic demographic representation?

I also roll my eyes when I see a stock photo of a "dev team" comprised only of attractive people in suits smiling with perfect teeth. But this isn't McDonald's, I'm not paying for what's in the picture. It's also not messing with language and habits, like "person-in-the-middle" or "allowlist". So what's the problem?

There's also the matter of what aspect people notice and complain. Nobody ever mentions when illustrations depict left handed people (~10%) or red heads (<2%). That's why other comments call you racist. But I understand your complaint is against the pressure to depict diversity, and not that the illustration has black people, correct?

For what it's worth, I find these "woke illustrations" awkward but useful. They signal that the team cares at least a little, and is likely to be accommodating of differences and not blatantly prejudiced. It might also be too political-minded and over eager with PC language, but that's better than being passed over for a promotion because of your ethnicity.

To be fair, Chrome is basically doing everything it can to stop being the users agent and is instead Googles fun magic box you use to see what goes on on the internet (with the explicit long-term goal for Chrome to just be Googles freely downloadable OS overlaid onto your Windows/Mac/Linux, given how many system APIs Google keeps dumping into the browser).

I don't blame people for forgetting that part sometimes, given how 90% of the population uses a browser that doesn't serve their interests.

Lol...

As if China and Russia care anything about privacy. They are complete panopticons. You can't compare them with the EU. Which is a democracy unlike the others.

The only reason China has this policy of storing Chinese users' data in China is so they can spy on them more easily, not because they want to give them more privacy.
If the goal was really to stop cheater, they'd provide an API in their XDA to let game developers reject unauthorized controllers. That way, ranked matches could take advantage of this to make competitive games more fair.

In what way is being unpredictable considered "free will"? Of course it's just being clickbaity but worth mentioning. I've seen this better used to show that humans are poor sources of randomness.

Is there a difference between non-determinism and a free will choice? The latter seems to be a contradiction. A choice implies a reason which would be a cause, thus determinism.

This test is asking to make random 'choices'. This does have value in something such as sports.

I think this is the right view of success. Great success requires both talent and hard work.

It’s most obvious in domains like sports and music. I noticed that in my teens by watching Michael Jordan. He was great because he had a body seemingly made for basketball and spent the most time practicing.

How is it any different in medicine, tech, investing, engineering, business, etc.?

The talents are mental, so they are harder to see. The required combination of luck and hard work are the same.

A better world would be one where the successful recognize this and are grateful to be the recipients of life’s lottery winnings. They would try to help the unlucky rather than lord their success over them.

The main advantage, if I understood it correctly, is supposed to be performance. The promise is to have similar speeds to ext4/xfs with the feature set of btrfs/ZFS. While that sounds nice it took a lot of time to get it stable and upstreamed. Like any FS you might not want to go with the latest shiny thing but there are some that are willing to risk it, similar to debates around Btrfs vs ZFS.

The working class jobs are the most unionized ones. The unions also started with actual battles (wikipedia has examples since US history class often does not), from people with traditional values. I think the division is much more harmful that than you think.
There's a lot of push in the defense world to get to so-called "Digital Twin", where cabling, conduit, maintainability and other late-stage product work is done purely in CAD and in simulation. I'm very open to the idea . . however . . when I get a pile of geometry with no fastener material data, no soft bodies of any kind (tape, string, wire, cloth, rope, etc), broke fillets . . and then someone tells me "there you go, you can figure out the maintenance breakdown now. DIGITAL TWIN!" . . I'm not filled with confidence.

Someone, somewhere, needs to spec out the minimum required for each stage of this kind of work . . they might find that doing things like wire channels in new product isn't fantastically easier than doing it in a prototype. You can do it in CAD< but you still have to get the design right. Tool clearance doesn't magically appear in the right place by screaming DIGITAL TWIN.

This is all aerospace. In another industry, with less demanding performance requirements, the easy solution to all problems is always "increase the tolerances". Then you can jam anything in there.

Another problem: logistics systems want to know the sparing level for what's being supported, not what's being designed. This, incredibly, isn't addressed so far as I can see; adopters are just sort of pretending that bleeding edge is the same as the as-built, supported configuration. When I bring it up, the general response is that LSA can be batch-create from the design, totally ignoring the fact that a lot of changes come the other way, from field modifications. The solution for this - for NGAD and Raider - is to just not do logistics as it's been practiced for the last forty years. Spoiler: this is the correct answer. 30 year sustainment programs are hilarious fictions that do nothing but generate high margin work for primes.

How will you know which laws apply?
Tourist endeavors really care about borders for 2 aspects: as barriers, and as places where legal or social rules change. If administrative borders had their powers limited to, say, statistical purposes, and not social obstacles, a tourist would stop caring about them.

Interfacing with humans does not necessarily have to be done along social borders. I'm sure it wasn't that way before the rise of the nation-state. Everyone knows where the Alps are, or where the Great Lakes are. Pretty much every place on Earth is covered by some geographical-not-political area name. Why shouldn't places be referred to in that way? It's harder to politically push for a change in the definition of the Gobi Desert than of an arbitrary administrative unit.

Children need time to develop connections and build social relationship with other kids.

I believe by moving around too much, even changing schools can be bad for them. I'd first look into getting some help from a professional educator or psychologist to assist your family in this subject, so if you really must keep being a digital nomad, you reduce that impact for them somehow.

Being a good parent isn't easy, even if they seem to enjoy moving around, that can have a bad impact on them later in their lives, creating developmental issues.
There can be a case where the end user (person), logs on the site - then sets a permission/consent to be 'tracked' (whatever), then a cookie/localstore persists - so the DNT is not relevant.

A comparison for the tech crowd would be the difference between being able to learn and write complex syntax and writing a clear, concise, bug-free software.

To non-software people the syntax is what seems impossibly hard and in their view writing a software that works, reliably is what should be easy. The truth is just the opposite. So to non-software people, someone writing Hello World in brainfuck would seem crazier than someone writing a good piece of software that solves a hard problem.

So judging the craft can be hard if you are not doing the craft yourself. A painter like Picasso could draw completely realistic at age 19 and spent the following decades doing more abstract things. Not because the realistic stuff was hard and he was lazy, but quite the other way around. Writing a complicated program with obscure syntax and many million lines is possible, but it takes a true master to do the same thing in a very readable, maintainable way, while making it shorter. Art can, at times, be very similar.
And suddenly you have to manage an entire Linux server. (-:
