That's a good thing. There is nothing wrong with your approach. Glad you are sharing what you do because what you do interests many people.
This is wrong in an important way (that's quite relevant to message boards like this one, about which you'll often hear that arguing about controversial subjects is pointless because nobody ever changes their mind). Basically, nobody ever individually changes their mind in the moment, so it appears as though debates are ineffectual. But that's only because people change their minds slowly, in private, in response to thousands of inputs.

And it might not even be the person you're talking to who eventually changes their mind. It might just be a reader, a thousand of whom exist for every one person visibly contributing.

You can't see the mind changing, but it's wrong to conclude that therefore it never happens.
The key difference with tracking is that it's based on intent. Technically there is no difference between a tracking cookie and any other cookie. It is just a question of its intended use.
I liked their article about how to be a good listener. Breaks down listening into different levels. I think just reading it makes you become more conscious of giving the space for others to be heard.

The people I enjoy being around the most are incredible listeners which makes conversations become an enjoyable experience and building friendships easier.

But why simplify it into a simple supply and demand curve when at the end it means nothing because you did not include all the other important factors?
The problem is that we as a society constantly have to deal with adult children, so don't expect reason. Do expect elaborate rationalizations intended to waste the energy of an indecisive parent, who is basically getting bullied by a kid throwing a tantrum.

This kind of behavior reminds me of the book: "Language vs. Reality: Why Language Is Good for Lawyers and Bad for Scientists" - Nick Enfield, Linguistic Anthropologist [1]

You don't seem to explain what the role of corporations is or what a good corporation looks like. If these things are not symmetric, you need to finish your explanation of why or how they aren't.

Corporations and the whole of property rights only exist because of government protection, so it would be pretty audacious--in my opinion--to assert that corporations have no duty to behave to the benefit of society. I'm not saying that's your claim, but I'm curious as to how close you're willing to get to that claim...

Which ones of those fines were because of inappropriate use of cookie consent popups?

You just copy-pasted a list of GDPR fines.

Gears of EU grind slowly but finely. IAB just received a fine for promoting horrible banner practices. And it's not like we'd be better off if the gears didn't grind at all. Now just even uBlock will save you a lot of hassle and server-side tracking purely by the virtue of blocking the consent banners (so they can't be approved)
It could work like popup permissions - unobtrusive notification you ignore unless you're specifically looking for it.
It's a special kind of stubbornness that makes it so that a file manager doesn't have support for cut and paste, in order to move files.

The answer to most "it's a bit dumb that MacOS doesn't let you / forces you to" is "install app X, Y, Z".

- Don't like that apple's "Music" app pops up when you connect a Bluetooth headset? => Install an app.

- Want to be able to "alt tab" through windows of the same program, or in general not be uselessly flawed? => Install an app

- Want to be able to move and resize windows without aiming at the exact edge pixels of the window? => Install an app.

- Want to move & resize windows to very common places and sizes on a screen? => Install an app.

- Want global hotkeys for whatever? => Install an app

- Want a software package management system a'la apt? => Install an app.

- Want to rebind keys or make things like Home/End not be dead keys... because apple keyboards don't have that, and they cannot be bothered with it. "you should be using "⌘ + →" anyways... or, I suppose it depends on the window"? => Install an app.

- etc....

You don't get any of these annoyances with Linux / Gnome. "Why not use that if you hate MacOS so much?" I pretend to hear you say. First of all, because of anti-competitive reasons by Apple, I sort of have to. Secondly... something something angry old man yells at clouds.
The same people also complain they cannot use by default said websites unless they share all their personal data with them. Half-assed, indeed the measure is. But it also reflects the majority thinking, unfortunately. So unless there's some popular pressure to full-ass the measure, we will still have banners and misused personal data.
Yes and I am allowed to post, thank you
> The cookie banner is an inconvenience to their mindless consumption,

It’s an inconvenience to people who care about privacy and use browser configurations that don’t store state between visits.

So now in an attempt to protect regular users, the law ended up hurting users that already cared.

Additionally, the shadiest and incompetent sites still just track people with no cookie banner. So the law doesn’t really provide protection against uncooperative parties, whereas privacy technology does.

I kinda hate saying this, but Microsoft (or at least github) got it right in a week. Some OSS publishers also got it right, like nexedi, and some i'm sightly upset with (gitlab) but it is true that for the commercial internet it seems to be invasive. I do not use the commercial internet much, and like any person with greasemonkey, i took a rainy afternoon to remove the most annoying banners (i think now i use a plugin that does it for me).

The data I've seen for turning on bounds checks in std::vector shows overhead considerably lower than 1-2%.
What else would you need my IP address for?
Sure. The nightmare is that every single time you open the browser on a website you have to go through the data tracking preference for that website. It's a lot of work to avoid being tracked (companies are obviously using dark patterns there) and when you do it 20 times a day it gets frustrating quickly and collectively a big waste of human time.

Now I am not saying the US doesn't have a problem. They just don't have GDPR and most website don't ask you for any permission to track you. So the experience is generally smoother (with the occasional tracking popup).

Ideally there should be a way for me to broadcast my willingness to share my data and not allow dark patterns to try to change my opinion. But the GDPR does not cover that and allows websites to drive you crazy until you click "YES, Track me"
Of course not. Only titans of industry and the landed gentry of the executive class are allowed to "move fast and break things", "ask for forgiveness rather than permission" and take "imperfect action rather than perfect action."

It's more morally permissible for corporate decision makers to install a global surveillance complex than for civil servants to attempt to regulate it.
Considering certain technical books range between 70 to 300 dollars per copy, and libraries are unable to afford them, it seems to me that the incentive system is already broken.

I don't know exactly what Paul was referring to when he wrote his tweet, but my own interpretation of the problem is that the EU has basically transferred the responsibility entirely over to the end user, which is a responsibility that we know people are not capable of handling.

Sure, you can say that websites have the option of "Just don't track", but realistically we know that that will never happen. Particularly since a lot of websites are actually tracking the user for the purpose of making the experience better (such as remembering settings, recent search terms, etc...), rather than tracking for the purpose of selling data to advertisers. But, from the user's point of view, they won't know what they have agreed to anyways. So essentially we get to a scenario where 99% of the websites have annoying cookie banners, when we already know that 99% of users won't read the terms anyways...

If the EU was good at regulating things, they would come up with a solution which puts the responsibility primarily on the website. One example of this could be if EU defines like ~5 different "data ratings", with pre-defined conditions of what sort of data was allowed to be tracked for each rating. Then the websites are responsible for choosing the rating that corresponds to their level of data gathering, and if they report it incorrectly, the EU could fine them.

The result of this is that when a user visits a website, you can quickly see a "badge" in the browser which lets you know what sort of tracking this page has (thus the user learn what each rating means, and get a better understanding of what they agree to). This is very similar to what Apple already does in the App Store in the "Data Linked To You" section for each app.
Tired of cookie banners?

Just use Consent Free analytics like Wide Angle Analytics.
Happy to help. For EKS there’s a blog (https://blog.realvarez.com/using-estargz-to-reduce-container...) that goes into using stargz-snapshotter which will be same initial setup, but you’ll need to install nix as well in the “managed node group”.

I’m not sure what you mean by modifying your own installation. Like running k8s on NixOS and then using a nix-snapshotter based DaemonSet to modify k8s on the host? At first glance it seems like vanilla k8s can do this already, nix-snapshotter just makes it more efficient / binary matching.
I can't help regarding the LinkedIn. But your linked posting has a couple of sarcasms in it as well, and as much many of us also have a saracastic wit, in writing it's a bad look and in a potentially permanent employment-relevant medium it can be really bad. You might want to edit it.
"known-bad" ... defined by you? Cause if the best & brightest did it (in this case SETI@Home) it seems they disagree with that categorization.
A practical definition of "creativity" is "can create interesting things." It's pretty clear that machines have become more "creative" in that sense over the last few years.

Which aerospace engineering models don't account for those? The intentionally simplified ones, which are mostly used for civilian stuff? Note that about 0.00001% of civilian aircraft are negatively impacted by stray anti-aircraft missiles.

Or the more complex models, typical for military use? Reality: Accounting for damage from weapons, when appropriate, is a really big thing in aerospace engineering. And has been for 80+ years.

Vs. 100% of modern economies have been very negatively impacted by sudden cut-offs of energy supplies (due to coal miners' strikes, naval blockades, the OPEC oil embargo of 1973, etc., etc.).

It could. And the GDPR already bans dark UX patterns in consent popups (i.e. making it artificially difficult to refuse consent). But the law can’t realistically tell sites exactly how to design their UX.
I think its a good thing in principle to align driving behavior with insurance policies.

The issue for me is that this agreement has been made between the car company and the insurance company instead of me and the insurance company. And I'm disheartened to think that the average person is unlikely to care about this kind of B2B data agreement.

Until one day, they go to apply for a mortgage and discover that their credit score has evolved into a complete picture of every aspect of their lives.

Not sure Mid 2000-2020, versus 2022 really invalidates any of my argument.

The core of the analogy made was that economic models rarely account for basically any variables that all other reality-based models have to live on.
Yeah your analogy highlights the silliness of designing for EVERY particular catalyst for failure. But it’d be a better comparison if you were saying it’d be more like if plane builders never considered the possibility at all that they might encounter bad air, an adversarial’s airspace, or engine failure.

But plane builders do a whole lot more in terms of “what if bad thing x happened” than priests, politicians, and economists, maybe not JUST due to the direct, unambiguous impact of failure.
Correct, that's why we couldn't post a list of affected sites or malicious actors would immediately abuse it :/

I also don't go around having intelligent conversations with chairs.

I made no such claims, people like yourself who are so eager to dismiss the possibility that LLMs are intelligent or sentient are the ones making strong claims without justification.

Edit: the fact that you are drawing an absurd equivalence between inert chairs and a system capable of intelligent conversation shows you haven't given this topic any serious thought. I suggest you do that and come back with a better analogy if you want to have a serious conversation.

The problem is "secure" is a vague term and thus easy to gamify.

eg is it secure because of fewer CVEs? You'd probably expect fewer CVEs because it is newer, so that doesn't mean it is more "secure" in any meaningful way but it's definitely an easy position to defend if someone were to challenge Microsoft's claim.
Just wait until you are in an edge case scenario that was never considered by the algorithm and the people developing it, or there is a bug and you are marked as a bad driver forever with no option to challenge the rating, because for normal people in insurance, the algorithm/AI can never be wrong.
This is true, but the comment you replied to was about the cookie law, not about GDPR. They are separate issues, even if they are obviously related. Cookie law is about not using other peoples storage for usage that is not needed, GDPR is about personal information.

> what is the government's justification for taxing the value of land I own outright?

In the 1970's a group of people decided to setup a micro nation on a small unclaimed island. A nearby country Tonga seeing they where not protected by another state invaded, so ended the micro nation.

Ultimately it's the US governments providing a military and police force that causes a piece of paper to have any impact on who controls a piece of land. Such services require payment. Though we charge for local services ie schools, EMS based with property taxes and protection FBI/Army based on people (income tax). Historically this favors land owners, but we could swap in the future.
