There are a lot of ridiculous things a company can choose to do in response to any given law. Those choices are not mandated by the law. Horrible consent UX is not the only option to choose from.

Government can, and should, analyze likely (or unlikely) unintended consequences and use those to further shape the law, but at the end of the day, those consequences come from choices that people who are subject to the law make.

I think the big mistake the EU made is they probably thought: “Surely no company would choose to abuse their customers with horrible UI just because they don’t like the law and want to take their collective frustration out on their users!” The EU was obviously wrong about the extent to which companies would throw their users under the bus while maliciously complying.
But the websites are still putting up banners in my way, and they never remember what I consent to anyway, they just ask every time.

They didn't do this before the regulation. It doesn't much matter whether a website could do better, they simply aren't going to do better unless forced to.

> A website could choose to honor that setting and don't track you without ever showing you a cookie banner. But most don't.

Exactly! Either fix the regulation to say they can't make UX worse or throw it away.

The issue is we can't see what running software is doing, because frame pointers are omitted, symbols are stripped, etc. in the name of performance, so we can't see what the software is even doing without changing it. And in many cases changing it will "fix" the symptom, before we can determine what the issue actually was.
I mean, that would be great, but I suspect that even just here on HN you'd get a lot of people strongly disagreeing with you. Because that would infringe upon the companies' "freedom" to profit in whatever way they see fit—and the people's "freedom" to let their data be vacuumed up and sold for massive profits.

Most chips that India's MIC uses that aren't domestically fabricated comes from Tower Semiconductors' fabs in Israel, and the India's Eastern Naval Command has near complete control over the Eastern half of the Indian Ocean as there are massive naval and listening posts in Madagascar, Tanzania, Djibouti, Oman, UAE, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Kerala, etc

Also, Guided Munitions have been manufactured in India since the 2000s.

Israeli ballistic missile manufacturers like Rafael, IAI, Elbit, etc did a 100% IP ToT to Indian PSUs and private sector defense contractors when the Chinese MIC was sanctioned for Tiananmen in the 90s.

There was a whole corruption scandal over this in India that lead to the collapse of the Vajpayee Administration, and had some blowback in Israeli politics in the 2000s as well.

If Apple were to partner with anyone, I would suggest Perplexity, unless there is something about the way Perplexity operates, its business model, etc. that may make it an unstable partner down the road.

Perplexity does have good competition in the ‘better web’ product space, but for right now Perplexity just makes searching and exploring more fun. For a few years, I think Apple would do well to have Siri partially wrap Perplexity services as appropriate.

Long term, I hope Apple does everything on device with their own models with firm privacy guarantees.

Ah, but are those going to be different brands across companies? After all, most auto manufacturers have multiple brands (traditionally, the big three automakers had a low-end, middle-tier and high-end brand, e.g., Ford’s Mercury-Ford-Lincoln trinity, although in the last thirty years a number of brands were shuttered. Add in international consolidation (Chrysler was owned for a while by Daimler-Benz and now by Fiat, Ford used to have an ownership stakes in Jaguar, Volvo and Mazda among others) and you might be seeing intra-corporate part sharing, not inter-corporate.
I have seen programmers express that they dislike writing code before and I wonder what the ratio of people who dislike it and people who like it, is. For me, writing code is one of the most enjoyable aspects of programming.
I also haven't seen any studies of percentage of drivers that support/oppose this rule. MULDA (https://mulda.org/) is the group of drivers pushing for this ordinance.

There are clearly many people who both want to drive for these companies and want to rules in place to ensure fair pay and working conditions. It is not an either/or.

I've still got an ICQ number that works, though I've not used it (prior to today) in at least a decade, probably two. Eight-digit starting with 1, so probably 1997-1998?
Reminds me of a story I read about a North Korean who defected to the US during the Korean War. He came across an American nail clipper and was amazed by the machining and intricacy that went into something as mundane as trimming nails. He realized that if this is the complexity of a nail-clipper, he was surely no match to American weapons. He'd defect soon after.

I’m American with European family. This self-help attitude is close to how I think about myself. But is 180 degrees from the mindset of older relatives who lived through war and hard times.

People blog about grit and resilience as a part of the self-help ethos. But in my experience people who have survived real hardship tend to have a much more fatalistic and realpolitik view of life.

1870 U.S. is one example. There was restraint of international trade but that trade wasn't much and it didn't have the capacity to be much. A continental sized country at a time when transportation was still limited that used a gold standard satisfies the condition of "implemented Austrian economic principles".

They were implemented in the same way one says that communism has been tried and it failed. It wasn't true communism and it wasn't true Austrianism. Government intervention has shortened recession/depression lengths and lengthened the time between them. It's a lot better than Austrianism.

I'm not going to convince you of anything and vice versa. My comment is for anyone who happens to be reading the thread. Hopefully they will have read enough perspective on this to make a semi-informed decision.
I've been using Bravecto and Nexgard for the past 4 years and it really should be emphasized how much of a seismic shift these meds have been.

I've had dogs all my life and live in a very tick-prone area. Nothing ever really worked, to be honest. It was a constant battle of attrition. I had to spray the house with nasty chemicals every few months cause that was pretty much the only thing that kind of tipped the balance against the ticks. I frankly don't know how we didn't get Lyme disease, we were exposed for decades.

Since these new meds appeared, ticks have completely disappeared from our property. They only provide 1-3 months of protection, but they're so effective at eradicating the parasite population that I've only had to use 3 pills in the past 4 years.

Just the other week I was thinking: the hardware store is my bolt lengthener. I had a bolt that was too short, and no means to make it longer. I simply went to the hardware store and got a replacement. Of course this encumbers all of the requisite industries (mining, manufacturing, shipping, and a mom-and-pop shop correctly guessing what I would need and being willing to stock it). But for me, it all wraps up functionally into being a bolt lengthener.

Yes, all the time..... :)
But on other hand they are not free to set prices. Which to me is what would make Uber and Lyft purely matching service. Allow the drivers to set the prices and rules. Then customers can take or not take them.

I've felt like this when walking through major cities such as NYC. Looking at empty lots and then the girders on the side of the existing building on which the new buildings will be connected. We built this massive 3d structure, fill it with billions of individual items, computers, chairs, beds, etc. Millions of people and then everyday we replenish the food, fuel, etc.

Its an incredible example of complexity.

I’m in the exact same boat, ADHD and gamedev. And my solution is the same, do a little bit every day.

I have experience with programming and audio so the only thing I’m missing is art skills. So my routine is 30 minutes of programming and 30 minutes of art practice per day. It seems to be working so far.
I still think it’s much more an “if” than a “when”. (Of course I am perhaps more strict with my definition)

That's not entirely true. Continental European law tends to be far more detailed than Anglo Saxon law, but still relies on precedents set in previous cases when there are ambiguities in the law, and when it comes to metering out punishment and damages.

That's not a benefit of the tracking. That's a benefit of the advertising dollars.

I agree. Breadlines are bad. But this isn’t a capitalism vs communism/socialism thing. I’m not saying MBAs are the alternative to breadlines. I’m saying that given the rate we are going they are another cause.

As far as consumers being OK with things. That is another major cause of our problems, selectable-outrage which I think is from a corrupt media. And a corrupt media… also run by MBAs trying to extract every possible resource, run as lean as possible with resources a media org has like reputation and goodwill, eliminating the costly things like difficult research-journalism in favor of Clickbait BS.

I think there’s about seven things wrong with our time. MBA-ification is only one.

The next two would be a corrupt media and a complexity-crisis that no one sees coming.
`react-canvas` definitely has a lot of similarities, but it is very old, uses class-based components, uses React elements, and most importantly, it doesn't provide any auto-layout functionality out of the box.

The main driving factor behind CanvaSX was the auto-layout functionality: if you look at the example code for rendering a button using CanvaSX, you'll noticed that there are no positional or coordinate properties being defined. In `react-canvas`, the coordinates/dimensions of each shape must be manually defined, which becomes problematic for shapes with dynamic content being rendered inline. `react-canvas` did not attempt to solve any of those problems, CanvaSX does.
Not OP, but just a set of MCU arch common in automotive that you'd have to bend a bit to compile Rust for:

- Renesas RH 850/v850 - there is a gcc but not a llvm backend

- RL78 (I think this is kind of dieing though)

- Infineon Aurix Tricore (Hightec has a compiler for it)

- PowerPC was pretty popular but I did not see it that much lately.

When it comes to market viability there will come a time at which companies just pull out because the headache is too much, even if they are somewhat profitable.

FWIW I think this is posturing on Uber/Lyft's behalf, but is almost certainly a sign of future actions if they cannot make the number work.
What a good example of how bad economic modeling is for real world applications.

If there is a crisis for a critical good, the only solution that works is to throw the market out altogether and create a temporary planned system of rationing. If five people are on a desert island with five watermelons, allowing the billionaire to eat all five because she has more money is not going to help. Similarly, if a nation can't produce or import enough food (e.g. in war time), you not only cap prices on food, you ration all the available food to try to make sure no one starves to death even if everyone is left hungry (or in even worse crises, allow people who wouldn't survive anyway to starve so that those that have a chance can get some rations).

In reality, even for much milder crises, finding extra supply if prices are allowed to rise indefinitely happens rarely. Letting prices rise to any value is typically just a way to make sure the existing suppliers become filthy rich, it rarely does anything else.

Of course, there are limits. If the government capped smartphone prices at 1$, we wouldn't actually get 1$ smartphones, we'd see the supply plummet to 0.
> How much corporate propaganda are people consuming that legislators are seen as wholly responsible for the bad behavior and malicious compliance actions of corporations

Why do I need to be "consuming corporate propaganda" when I just hate that I need to dismiss banners on every news website, when I didn't have to before the regulation?

I don't care about being tracked. But now that all websites need to cover their asses in response to regulation, I'm forced to figure out which button I need to click on to read content, and these websites don't even appear to save my preferences whether I agree to be tracked or not.

Objectively, the outcome of this regulation is that my experience is worse. Are the companies bad actors? Sure! Sounds like the EU should account for companies' bad behavior instead of forcing the internet to be more annoying.
I've used this in the suburbs, and anecdotally it doesn't seem like any small critters are picking up the cotton at all. I guess I should be happy that I don't have any mice or rats in the area?

> A lot of artists already are using crypto to accept payments. Look at “crypto art” space as a whole.

You're conflating collectibles, which are purchased for speculative purposes, to the kinds of art which are purchased for consumption. Yes, you can use crypto to build ponzi-like games for digital assets, everybody knows that. The question here is can an artist charge like $5 for a comic book or $10 for a monthly subscription. And the answer to that question is no, not to an extent where they would be able to afford food, which they need in order to continue living.

I can identify with some of this, but my Achilles Heel is looking forward. It’s a superpower in some cases, but often it’s tempting to live in the future at the expense of today.

When I lost my wife suddenly to cancer, I lost that ability for awhile… in survival mode, the future isn’t available to you. Only the present.

It was a horror, but also an opportunity. I chose to focus on my fitness, my son’s fitness, health, and nurturing relationships that I allowed to back burner as busy people do.

My offering is that you should be aspiring and working towards the future, but the prerequisite for tomorrow is today, and you may not have a tomorrow. So make today the best today it can be, now. Tomorrow will wait, as it does.

English now just catches all the other words that it doesn't have definitions for and brings them into the language. A lot of Buddhist terminology made it in this way in the 19th century bc English had no direct translation so they just gave the words English definitions, essentially adding them to language.

Even if 100% of humans spoke English as their primary language, we would still have words like Dharma, samsara, nirvana etc.

English will eventually take from every culture every word of significance without a direct translation - these words will be understood by their English definitions to the majority of the global population.

We will still call that amalgamation of global languages English
