Did you take many taxis before Uber/Lyft? It was an adversarial relationship - your taxi driver would try their very best (they practice every day!) to rip you off any which way they can. Their lobby stopped any competition or reform, and they exploited the most vulnerable.

I have no sympathy at all for the taxi cartels - only their victims.

"The issue was not present in the early access releases for macOS 14.4, so it was discovered only after Apple released the update."
While income tax and short term capital gains do work like that (an increasing marginal rate) long term capital gains (LTCG) do not. They are paid fully at the bracket you fall in to. When calculating tax rates (US federal, states may vary) you apply income first and capital gains second to determine your rate.

If you're filing single the LTCG threshold is $518,900 in 2024. So as an example, if you made $400,000 in income and $118,000 in LTCG that would put you just under the threshold to pay 15%. you'd calculate ordinary income tax on the $400,000 and then you'd pay $118,000x15%=$17,700 in LTCG.

But if you made just $2000 more in LTCG you'd pay much more as you'd be bumped into the higher 20% rate. You'd end up paying $120,000x20%=$24,000 in LTCG taxes, an increase of $6300 in taxes on just and additional $2000 in gains.

Appreciate people "going back to the fundamentals" - without sarcasm, I lived for ages without even ever understanding where the idea of dark matter comes from. To be honest, I still don't understand how "cosmic microwave background fluctuations" is an argument for dark matter, but #1 and #2 at least help me intuitively understand where the theory comes from.
You are not thinking outside the box enough. The manufacturer has a specific system requirement for certain tasks such as ecu reprogramming and key replacement. You must use the manufacturer furnished tool to do such an operation. This tool will pull all data including gps entertainment etc which includes your driving style, locations, etc.

> How would you frame a "don't track people without consent" without unintended consequences?

Drop the consent requirement? I.e. just don't track people. No third-party cookies, first-party only, and only for the correct operation of the site.

It's not the cookies that people object to, it's the tracking. Tracking provides no benefits to visitors. If there were no tracking risk, there would be no need to require consent.
This kind of behavior is to be expected from a monopoly. And I understand where you're coming from about that sweet spot between restricted Apple hardware and troubleshooting Linux drivers. Windows may not be an absolute monopoly, but they're effectively close enough that they can make user hostile moves and their customers have no choice but to go along.

Microsoft under Nadella currently seems to be under the most competent leadership of the major tech companies. Apple under Cook is okay as long as they don't try to innovate too quickly, and Google under Pichai is a bonfire of wasted engineering capacity. Microsoft has a very good sense of how much leverage they can get out of their existing desktop and corporate enterprise compute markets to push into other markets. They will make use of this leverage.

So don't expect Windows to be any better than it has to be, to keep other potential options at bay.
Apply it to healthcare and rethink.

Not saying you are completely wrong, but I think there are other measures to stop bad driving.

The whole point of insurance is also the even out the tops and bottoms. If everyone paid their fair share cost for the insurance there would be no point with insurance. You could as well pay the damage yourself when it comes.
If it only were that simple. When the GDPR came out, a lot of confusion and misunderstanding ensued. Not only regarding the damn cookie banner. Even totally legitimate health-care providers started to collect signatures to be on the safe side. I still rememeber receiving a basic GDPR training where we were told that opt-out/signing is only necessary if the entity is planning to do weird stuff with your data. IOW, if someone wants you to sign, they plan a bad move. Then my bank wanted a signature. And a month later, one of my healthcare providers wanted a signature. After a chat with him, I learnt that his lawyer told him to collect the signatures just in case, and made him believe that if someone doesn't sign, that is a problem.

So now we have this situation where providers were trained to play the GDPR in such a way that they will never have a problem, no matter what they actually do with the data.

And consumers are pissed because they are made to sign things which essentially reduce their rights...

And if someone (like me) thinks the EU did a half-assed job there, the downvotes rain in.
> humans are much better at avoiding accidents (not immune, but much better)

Are they, really, or is it a question of liability? If we could "lease" AI drivers, allowing companies to defray liability while still not paying unreliable humans, they'd do it. But then the owners of the AI leasing companies wouldn't have anywhere to hide from lawsuits.

Being able to blame and fire an individual human for what is really a systemic problem is a huge win for companies.

So I ranted about macOS a month ago here -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39369788 -- and in the meantime my Alacritty and iTerm2 began doing cold start up for 2-3 seconds now (granted they get cached so the cold start delay does not happen more than two or three times a day) and I am just left scratching my head and wondering WTF are the macOS devs thinking.

As other posters said: macOS might have had an edge over Windows and Linux before but that's no longer the case for a few years now. I'll definitely be looking for ways to use 5K display with my Linux laptop and will likely make a full transition to Linux in the next year or two.

Macs have amazing displays. So I'll use mine as thin clients I suppose. My eyes are happier with an Apple display so I'll use them for that alone.

Apple can still turn this around but their bogus security claims that serve mostly to annoy devs is them shooting themselves in the foot and making themselves a very uncomfortable bed to sleep in just some very short years in the future. Hope somebody at HQ understands that and is able to see the problem before too many people leave.
The cost basis thing was always more of a problem for me with ESPP. However TurboTax imported the sale data the cost basis would be 0. For some reason it always took me 2 or 3 tries to find where to put in that info in TurboTax.

Why would anyone opt-in? Tracking provides zero benefits to the site visitor.

It’s not the difficulty level that people object to.

It’s a combination of two things:

1) the law comes to the rest of the world from Europe. We (rest of the world) didn’t vote in the people who brought it. We’ve had quite enough of Europeans making rules for the rest of the world in the past few centuries thank you very much.

2) GDPR encodes an expectation that may or may not be common in the EU, but certainly isn’t common elsewhere. I don’t have any expectation of privacy when I walk in public or when I give any information at all to a business. My solution to this is: a) I wear pants outside, and b) I don’t give out private information. Whether the business ecosystem knows their age and purchasing patterns is largely immaterial to virtually everyone I’ve ever met.

And don’t show me a survey showing people don’t like it - if you prime people with the question, of course they will respond that way. They know their info is being gathered, and they just don’t think it’s as big a deal as GDPR would like it to be.

I’ve often wondered if necessary cookies could just be carved out and designed (and named) differently to improve handling. You could then just configure your browser to inherently accept the benign <biscuits/bikkies> from a site, which would then only ask for non-essential ones.

The real nirvana, IMO, would be better sandboxing between sites.
This is a bad example because the market usually fixes this problem. The reason why the market doesn’t fix the cookie banner problem and the reason why this is bad law is because users defacto do not care, it is merely annoying.

There’s a law in California that says that businesses which have chemicals that might cause cancer on the premises need to let people know. That’s great but the levels they set turn out to be lower than what you can feasibly test for and as a result all properties pretty much just put up the signs that say “there might be chemicals here”. The warning is useless and annoying because of market forces which is another way of saying the law incentivized the behavior that occurred.

From what I understand, the big advantage of the e-graphs approach is, that the quality of the output is (within limits) a function the time and memory given.

The more memory, the more nodes can be generated in the e-graph and the more time for search, the better the selected node.

It might never be as fast as copy-and-patch or as good as LLVM or GCC, but this flexibility is a value in itself.

If all of this is true, you must know very well how hard it is becoming to buy new devices that do not invade your privacy.

If not, I have bad news for you...
Yes, that very much is an example of the law being badly written.

"Prior to giving consent, the data subject shall be informed thereof."

Means there must be some sort of a cookie notification (which could of course take a small space of the screen, but still).

The existence of this notification makes it easier to initially give consent. If withdrawing later is to be as easy, the notification must never disappear.
A few places allow you to opt for a spoon instead, or drink right from the bowl without utensils. Note that it's not the customers who use the forks for stabbing; it's the restaurants themselves. To show their goodwill to a customer who does not trust them with a fork, they can offer a spoon.

The further we take this analogy, the more strained it becomes.

Yes, it's natural to use a cookie to track a session; this is a mechanism invented for that purpose. It's much less natural to share this tracking information with third parties, especially along with a record of your purchases or other interesting actions.

But ad revenue is much harder to obtain without targeting and thus tracking. And a lot of places depend mostly on ad revenue.

This is another case of "buy now, pay later" pattern, stretched to "take for free now, pay in loss of your privacy later". In a funny enough way, many people don't value the information they get on many ad-supported sites as highly as the marketers paying to grab their attention, so simply compensating by adding a subscription or one-time payment to go ad-free sometimes does not even work; the more generic / "doom-scrollalbe" the content is, the worse it works.
But they are raised, via inflation. When the Fed prints money (so to speak) to finance the debt, and your savings are devalued, that is effectively a tax. But no one calls it that. No one sees it that way. So no one is upset about their taxes going up, tho effectively they have.
Yes but it depends what you're doing with them as to whether you need consent. If you're keeping a record of my IP address and what I do on your site to sell me stuff then yes you're tracking me and need my consent for that. If you've got my IP address in your logs because you keep security logs for reasonable timeframes then you don't need my consent - though you do need to handle them appropriately because it's my personal data.

I think pg is talking about the advertising banners, and yes, congratulations EU you have ruined our web experience to the benefit of even-worse-tracking that mobile applications do.

I think the bigger issue here is that this law did not fix anything, destroyed what little EU online advertising business existed, and focused on the wrong thing. For starters, the european people did not ask for this law, they have bigger problems, it was campaigned by specific german interest groups for which most EU citizens are indiffernt. Ad tracking is/was not a concern for the vast majority of EU citizens (who , again were never asked about this law) . Internet and social media addiction, however, IS an issue that most citizens have, and the EU has spent so much energy and capital on this pointless cookie banners issue, that it doesnt have more to spend on solving the addiction issue. Premature legislation always does that, and the worst is, there will never be accountability for such wrong decisions. The people who inspired the legislation are not up in some kind of election, and the upcoming MEP elections have nothing to do with EU politics and everything to do with domestic politics (Show me a country where MEP election results are not considered a proxy for national elections).

But it doesnt matter how many times someone points the political misaligments , there is no mechanism to change that until something really grave happens, when it will be too late.
> The law is reason people think "Look, Why take a chance?" and build crap like cookie banners in.

Really, no. Not being willing to let go of user tracking, and now realizing that it's against the law if you get it wrong, is why people think "Look, why take a chance?" and grasp for shitty dark patterns to cover their asses.

My business did not track its customers online and had no banner. Period.
> This path of destruction is so blindingly obvious, it's incredible that everyone is still working on AI instead of trying to destroy it.

Obvious but also inevitable. Most of the discussions in this topic are short-sighted. We should look from a broader time perspective of human history. We're about to close the first quarter of 21th century with some initial advancements in AI. The second quarter will be all about transformation of the industries with the very possible introduction of AGI/ASI. This means the second half of the century must be a totally different world. With a totally different set of social constructs and different definitions for job, work, economy etc. I don't think we (humans, governments) are capable of changing the course of the history at the moment. We can only be cautious about the consequences.

Our core development team are trained to work in applied cryptography and we work directly with the University of Wuppertal cryptographers for cryptanalysis and testing.

To secure our customer's emails we do not only rely on the new post-quantum algorithm but we use a post-quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanism (CRYSTALS-Kyber) in combination with an Elliptic-Curve-Diffie-Hellmann key exchange (x25519). We did choose Kyber for pq encryption because it has been chosen by NIST for standardization. However, we are aware that it still might be broken in the future. In this case our implementation allows us to replace it with a different post-quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanism. Our customer's emails will not be leaked in this case because they are still protected by the state-of-the-art Elliptic-Curve-Diffie-Hellmann key exchange.

I'm just guessing here, so grain of salt, but given Microsoft's investment in Copilot, I'd bet that they are intentionally hamstringing any actual code production from the GPT that isn't paid for (in some way) by routing it through Copilot. Since they're embedded with OpenAI, and we know the previous models were capable, I don't see any way this isn't intentional. And YMMV, but I don't really buy any lofty ideals of them doing so out of an abundance of caution for dispersing 'unfavorable' information. For me, with corporations, it always comes down to how a decision alters their revenue stream.
