I think the idea is that instead of trying to argue, just be empirical. New information would have to be added along with context on how that information has impacted odds in the past

> "as easy to with as to give consent"

The full Article 7, section 3, in English, says:

> The data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Prior to giving consent, the data subject shall be informed thereof. It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

I think this can be interpreted as, you ask for consent, it doesn't have to be as easy to say no, but once consent is given - it should be as easy to withdraw it as it is to re-give it after it was withdrawn.

Somewhat badly worded, in my opinion. It doesn't unambiguously say "refusing consent every time it is requested should be as easy as accepting it."

Exactly. The very first time I heard about "JIT" was in the context of manufacturing. The Toyota Production System [0].

I think JIT compilation wasn't popular in ancient times, so I never associated JIT with compilation by default.

Are the UK's giant sequoias predominately naturally-grown or human-planted? If the trees successfully adapt their reproduction cycle to the UK, then I imagine that they could become a new invasive (albeit easy-to-cull) species.
"we believe binary artifacts should instead be treated as the result of a computational process; it is that process that needs to be fully captured to support independent verification of the source/binary correspondence. "

So binary artifacts should verifiably come from source code, which can be accomplished by signing it with a signing mechanism specified in the source code?

> An estimated 500,000 trees are in the UK compared to 80,000 in California.

> To assess how these towering giants are adapting to their UK home, scientists selected a sample of nearly 5,000 trees to study at Wakehurst, Benmore Botanic Garden in Argyllshire, Scotland and Havering Country Park in Essex.

> However, while the trees are doing well in the UK, there's little chance of them taking over our native forests any time soon - they're not reproducing here as they need very specific conditions to take seed.

I'm curious about the final statement - the article goes to great lengths to emphasize the similarity in conditions, so I wonder what would be missing that would prevent sequoias from reproducing. And to quote a phrase 'life, uh, finds a way'.

While I don't see a sense in doing that versus managed compiled languages, as it isn't a kernel driver or game engine performance level, eventually I will get an excuse to use Rust at work exactly because of those rewrites.
If Apple manages to get away with this hostile behavior, I’ll actually boycott their products or maybe stick to refurbished apple devices. I’m glad people aren’t falling for their excuses and fights back.
Even worse, in fact. While one can happily argue (non-)justifications for this till everyone's blue in the face, filesystem interfaces (in UNIX, but with a little magic sprinkle in Windows as well) have always allowed for concurrent access to the same file via two different handles. Open the file twice, and use the two - entirely "independent" objects for any language - filedescriptors to change the contents underneath each other. System behaviour here allows for things that "rust as a language" does not (* - I know about inner mutability but that's a different thing; even the data retrieved from a readonly-opened file can change if a second writeable open happened on it). In the end, programming languages and their standard runtimes depend on the behaviour of the operating system. I actually love that rust exposes this via system-specific traits.

The "extreme" would be to go the "Oberon Way" - write the system for the language that implements the system written in that language. Maybe we'll get "somewhere there" with rust one day. Maybe not. Personally, I don't see the value in it, but mileage may vary.

Ah, of course, not only does it require O(n²) work to multiply, but n grows to n² for each iteration (n bits -> 2n bits). So that's why you get O(2^n) _total_ time.

Yeah, but Apple isn't hurting for devs or apps. It sucks for us trying to make apps, but that's our problem and it's not the actual principle being argued here. I do think it's telling though, that our motivation for opening up the app store is orthoganal to the justification being supplied.

Not having proper static typing (and weak typing on top of that) in any medium-large project I think adds much more problems and complexity. JS is simply a bad language design-wise with TS being an improvement but still having the original sins of JS in it.

Everyone managing durable technology deals with this issue, from government leaders deciding on nuclear-powered submarines to each person with their phone: What has greater ROI: building/buying a new thing or repairing and maintaining an old thing?

Both terms of the ROI (R/I) expression differ for the new thing and old thing: the return, new and old will have different features and performance; and the investment, build/buy vs repair/maintain.

Reliability is one cost - the cost of building or of repairing the machine to perform at reliability level X. Certainly, we manufacture very many reliable new things - most people expect their new car or phone or house to have lower reliability costs (i.e., greater reliability) than an old one. Old servers have higher maintenance costs than new ones, generally speaking. Famously, when you drive your brand new car off the lot and its status flag switches to 'used', its value drops by half.

Is there evidence that reliability in particular costs less on old rockets, or that there is any consistency in those numbers across rocket types? Rockets vary greatly between vendors.

And yes, I know about the cost advantages of reusing rockets - how could anyone on HN miss it? That doesn't mean that the used rocket is more reliable than the unused one, only that its reliability costs are low enough that the overall costs net out in favor of the reused first stage - and then only up to a certain number of uses. Will we ever have discussion of anything space-related without this endless SpaceX-is-better stuff?
The [capital, number, special] scheme reminds me of the passwords at my uni. Everyone got a plaintext stored (you could recover and get the pw back, I doubt there was any encryption) 7 digit (yes digit, not alphanumeric) password for your account. After a while these were "upgraded" to 8 and must contain a letter. So the amount of [7 digits]+a passwords were massive. They then upgraded to "must contain a lower and upper case" and you got [7 digits]+a+A passwords, after which a special character must be included and the [7 digit]+a+A+! was born...

Security is no issue if you don't care. They did abolish unhashed storage after a while (and a while is really quite recent).

This whole thread on lookup tables seems to be confused.

The table-NN equivalence doesn't seem to help peoples understanding of NN.

Ask HN: Is there a 'classic' smartphone that has a big secondary market?

Are there any smartphone models that receive as much love, and last as long?
Did you read the comments I linked to? I put it pretty clearly there.

> Apple offers a curated environment largely through the curation of the app store. That curated environment is massively valuable to the average user. That's the asset Apple is trying to protect.

The user chooses to have an opinionated environment that protects them. If they don't want an opinionated environment, they can choose Android. The fact the environment is opinionated is what's valuable to the user, and what Apple is trying to protect.

Why? Giving the user the ability to install random apps from 3rd party stores opens up the protected ecosystem such that big players like facebook will absolutely take the opportunity to use 3rd party stores, and users will de facto have to use the 3rd party stores. Now the walls of the garden are torn down, and one of the huge values of the iPhone ecosystem has been destroyed.

Big win! Apple's been pulled down to the level of everyone else.
I don't think I would describe Apple as a monopoly. But I would say that copyright and patent law helps tech companies, like Apple, by restraining competition.
It cuts both ways.

You also can't expect people to write long rebuttals to every inane conspiracy theory. That just allows people like the OP to commit what are effectively denial of service attacks on the community, by posting low effort ramblings with the expectation that they deserve a discussion, which the other people would need to put way more effort into than the OP would. Downvotes are for hiding this crap at the bottom of the page, so that it at least doesn't take away the oxygen from discussions grounded in reality.
What if the websites respected my user-agent (browser) setting called "Do not track"? Zero hours would be wasted. I think geizhals.at is one of the few that does this.

In other words, the websites are showing cookie popups in you face because they really, really do want to track you, and for that they need your explicit consent. Nobody forced them to track you. The implementation does not matter; the intentions are crappy.

I think there is a recent court ruling saying websites should respect DNT settings as a (rejection of) consent; if that would be adapted universally, we would be done with the popups.

In the before times you needed to either know a webmaster with a reasonably popular web ring, or find and join a reasonably popular community forum around your interests and perform whatever archaic rituals they require to get permission to post links. Usually either of those options was wrapped up in a layer of nepotism (maybe that word is too strong?) and the upper limit to the traffic an average person could get from those activities was at most, three digits.

Then we got site generators from companies like yahoo that automatically added you to a directory and that was neat for a bit, until directories became flooded with everybody’s demo of HTML’s marquee tag. Notably, find-ability did not change.

Now we have companies like google that specialize in matching queries with responses. As would be expected in a profit-focused system, those responses can be influenced by the people trying to be found.

I wouldn’t argue that the current system of “pay somebody some money to be found” is better or more fair (fair at all?) but it’s provided a new avenue that at least on the surface feels easier. But either way, if someone is still chasing their two or three digits of readership, the webring/forum post model is still alive and well.

I highly recommend playing around with it :)
