Apply the same logic to any other illegal rights violation that companies could do to citizens.

Facebook has 3 options available:

1. Only provide their service to paying customers, no free EU version.

2. Don’t provide the service in the EU at all

3. Provide their service to paying customers, and a free version that doesnt’t violate the law.

What they’re currently doing is “provide their service to paying customers, and a free version that violates the users rights” — that is not a legitimate option, regardless of which rights are being violated or laws are being broken.

You don’t just get to break laws or violate rights because you’d make less money otherwise. You also don’t have to provide the service for free, but they seem to still want to do that.
I think this only bans consent or pay. Nothing in the edpb opinion prevents just charging (we can call it pay or pay).
The EU should be more consise and tell everyone not to paywall security.
Puting people at risk only to subsequently charge them protection money
is a textbook example of a criminal enterprise.
Show HN: Streaming AI powered prompt/image to process
We just released AI backed text to process and image to process.

Training ChatGPT to understand our process notation and structured format was the easy part of this. Isolating our editor and make it work with streaming was what took time.

Let us know what you think! We belive it will be a great way to quickly test our product and to import processes made in other tools or drawn on the whiteboard.

> A company should have every right to deny service.

Sure. They can pull out of the EU if they can't follow the rules.

> If they lose money by serving a user content

Btw, don't the users who generate said content have a right to be paid for it? Social networking doesn't generate shit, it's their users that do the work for them.

> Untargeted advertising pays 90+% less than targeted advertising.

But then they'll be able to drop the targeting infrastructure and reduce their hosting costs by at least two orders of magnitude :)
Interesting.

Cooking is very much more forgiving than baking.
I think we are going to go back to paywalls and subscriptions for everything.

Providers and users have been unable to strike a balance, with users being entitled to free content and providers being shameless about 3rd party data sharing. It's a self-reinforcing cycle, where intrusive advertising perpetuates ad-blocking and ad-blocking perpetuates more intrusive advertising.

In my opinion the best solution would be something like what Brave is perusing, a seamless integrated micropayment system where site owners can charge penny fractions in order to view content. Yes, I know, I can easily think of all the downsides to this system.

The core problem is that no one has figured out a good monetization method for internet content for 30 years. It's either pay with credit card or pay with personal data.
I'm advocating for the same standards that gas stations have. Cash prepayment is not necessarily most important, but just accepting CCs is minimum required thing.

>Meaning, is this an accessibility issue or a privacy issue? Because from my understanding, smartphone access is nearly ubiquitous nowadays across all income groups. But I could be wrong.

Access is not the biggest problem, fragmentation and giant shittyness of the apps is. And the fragmentation is an unsolvable problems.
Just a few weeks ago we released a feature where one of the most prominent buttons had a misaligned icon. The feature was reviewed by the QA engineers, the product owner reviewed it etc. I was the first person to notice it. After I pointed it out, everyone started seeing it, too. However, I had to specifically mention that there is a misaligned icon on a certain button. People couldn't see what's wrong even when carefully looking at the button, if you just said "something's wrong with the button". I had to actually say "the icon is not centered correctly". Only then they started seeing it. I guess most people just don't care.

I just want to clear the myth that pixel art style wasn't real and it's just an artifact of running games meant for CRT displays on modern screens: portables had LCD screens since the beginning and their art style was absolutely intended to look blocky. I'd say the biggest influence for pixel art today is the Gameboy generation, problably the pokemon games.
Don't I agree to give up my privacy everytime I step outside?
I never accepted the new terms in the Instagram app, it keeps asking again every now and then but you can get around it for a while and use the app. I'm very curious whether that means they are using my personal data for targeted ads or not, but I also don't remember the last time I saw an ad (maybe became blind to them)
The problem isn't that they charge at all but that they charge too much. The court ruled that a "reasonable" charge can be asked but at an ARPU of $45, it seems Meta is asking users who value their privacy for twice as much money ($120/yr) as the average user gives them in ad revenue.

It’s really sad. My good experience at a boot camp seems the exception.

We had a curriculum designed by people with a background in education, externally audited placement rates, an exceptional alumni network, instructors and mentors with industry experience. Most importantly, it was a non profit.

It seems like there is something to be said for intensive vocational education. It’s a shame that there are so many people taking advantage of students.
Gen-Z is under 25, mostly teenagers. How many would be looking to buy a house even if it was affordable?
It is not. It is limited to the context of Large Online Platforms, as defined (iirc) in the DSA.

I believe the edpb will later publish guidelines on consent or pay for other companies, which will impact many news agencies.
The EU doesn't even understand half the things listed.
You’re right. Because every company you have seen with a large scale implementation on AWS must mean that all large companies - including Netflix - are dumb.
The burden to fight this should not be shifter to end user. It's like saying buy a gun to ensure your safety. It's police job to ensure public safety.
This is sibling to the complaints many in the US like to voice against minimum wage (that it makes it impossible for some businesses to stay afloat).

The obvious counterargument imho is, that no-one owes these people a profitable business. If you can't do business without exploiting people or destroying their privacy, you can't do business. Someone else will come along and fill that niche without the exploitation or destruction of privacy, and they deserve our custom more than these other entities. And if no-one is able to fill it, that's OK, too. Not every possible idea needs to be profitable.

Not if they use for long term storage or datasets, records, files and such.

That's if they use for infrastructure e.g. for some web service etc. And even then, it takes much less to use it, than to even begin designing such a solution.
If Intel's moat made them fall behind, it was by lulling the company into a false sense of security allowing the bean counters to take over and under-invest in keeping up with everyone else in the all-important foundry space.

Maybe that's the thesis, but if so it misattributes the cause. The cause is the same MBA-brain thinking that destroyed General Electric and Boeing.

The root error in this thinking is to get behind a spreadsheet and completely abstract away all human and physical realities. There's now just units, COGS, gross margin, etc., and so you just optimize those levers to maximize the KPIs the stock market cares about with zero regard for the effect it has on the actual machine or its long term trajectory in the space it operates within.

It's really the same set of fallacies that lie behind command economics at the national scale. MBA-brain doesn't work for the same reason centralized authoritarian communism doesn't work. It's the same abstraction away of details, the same optimization without regard for reality, the same hollow experts in "leadership" that aren't really experts in anything. Apparatchiks with no understanding of what's actually happening on the ground can't run things.
Why would you expect the last sentence to be true? Wouldn't you expect the brains of chickens to be vast, and yours to be even more so?

They don't

> A company should have every right to deny service.

They do.

>They're just legislating into law the Meta (and others) have to provide a service at a loss for a growing number of users.

They don't.

Because dealing with that much data spread across suppliers is not going to introduce complexity and latency.
You are probably remembering advice from the dark age of IE6 dominance where display:table was not well supported. I have also seen advice againt using html tables in the early days of mobile browsers since they handled them badly.

The problem is people forget context. The advice “dont use tables <in this specific context under these specific constraints>” is remembered as “tables are bad, never use tables or anything which remotely looks like a table”.

The fact that the EU commission doesn't have the political leverage to protect its citizens against the greed of European corporations (because member states oppose that) is a pity, but we should still rejoice to see they at least have the leverage against the worst offenders because they don't have enough political power in the EU to protect their malpractices.
There's considerable value actually. You could simulate a whole economy and test economic theories if you could simulate a country full of minds, all with different interests and values. There's no need for this kind of simulation to be real-time.

That there's value in simulating lots of minds is the core premise of the simulation hypothesis.
Yes, indeed. This is exactly the sneaky thing about the cloud. It seems so "simple".

Now try doing that for multiple multi-thousand person orgs with competing processes, architectures, product cycles, etc.

You'll find very quickly that costs spiral out of control in a very unpredictable and irreversible way.

Self-hosting is something a company has much tighter control of the costs for. Most of those costs are known up front as capex purchases and predictable opex expenditures. They tend to seem expensive compared to the PoC S3 demo you just did, but often aren't compared to the actual realized expenses after migrating.
They explicitly added an exception later on for newspapers (See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38114111)
> For some companies this would mean creating a whole department to manage that.

If you are already managing that much data, you already have a whole department to manage that.

And in the end I haven't seen a significant decrease of people to manage stuff in the cloud. Sure you don't have to manage the hardware infra but you still manage tons of smaller virtual infrastructures on a myriad of AWS accounts. Sysadmins just get relabeled cloudops, devops and/or devsecops , end up being paid more, and thus more expensive.

That is at least my observation. I get paid more than I used to but the management hasn't been simplified. The only thing that has changed dramatically is you aren't dependent anymore on delivery time for storage, servers and network equipment.
My first guess was "Undo" but I guess "Run" is important too.

I see what you're saying now, thanks for clarifying.
I put little stock in Gruber’s takes. He should stick to the Apple rumours. If he has a problem with DerSpiegel he should make a complaint. Not only that, but this ruling is setting a precedent - it doesn’t only apply to Meta but instead applies to the consent or pay model generally. Only time will tell the consequences of the ruling.

Spend a little while seriously watching an octopus, and you may move that needle.
Are you familiar with this state? Farmers literally dump agriculture runoff into the water ways with zero repercussions.

What do you think red tide comes from? Do you think red tide season to be a natural phenomenon and not entirely man made?

If you want a broader overview you could also start with the world innovation index which reserves its top spot to the country hosting the CERN.
Throughput depends also on how large (and how well/poorly phrased) your PF rule-set is. Up until 2021 or so my own OpenBSD home router ran on some 14nm era low-power passively cooled Celeron I picked up in 2015, and I managed to get about 700 Mbit/s through that thing. These days anything just slightly snappier will get you 1 Gbit/s throughput.

woo boy defining meta products as “providing a service” is a stretch. They’re absurdly thin wrappers around a platform whose only purpose is to hoover up your data and sell it.
It would be grate indeed, but the commission has limited power, and if member states (at least a qualified majority of member states) aren't onboard with such a move, then the commission is helpless. At least member states aren't interesting in protecting American megacorps like they protect their own businesses, and that's why that happens.
If they make better cars then shouldn't the free market just accept this?

The thing about ICE cars is that they are really good. Many EV advocates seem to overlook this. The EVs replacing them have to be better in all metrics. We just aren't there. As an anecdote, I've been renting EVs for a day to try out a handful of ones I can afford.

1. Mache: buggy software, painful seating for tall people(center console hard plastics poke your leg and its painful), mediocre sound, somewhat ugly

2. Bolt EUV: cramped back window, slow charging, poor headroom for tall passengers, poor luggage space, ugly

3. ID4: terrible software, poor value for the price, strange reliability issues.

4. Tesla: high insurance costs, high repair costs, cheap interior, poor seats.

My comparison car is a 2006 Mazda 3. A car I really love. At the end of each day I ask myself, is there something i'd miss that my old car had? So far the answer has been yes.
IIRC there was a old computer history blog talking about the various processors, and there were specific times when the Cyrix and VIA were competitive (including price/performance) - if you were talking about processors that were actually available to buy and use.

AMD/Intel were always winning on paper but there were times when a CPU would be launched and simply unavailable.

Most likely reason is now the data transfer truck is more likely to have people remove their data than add it to the AWS cloud.
Why did they take so long to act against Facebook? People here were complaining about how little teeth it had against the big players, until they moved against the big players. Now they're claiming how little teeth it has against the long tail. Their time will come too.
I agree with the arguments presented. However, having recently used a game engine for the first time in my life, I plan to use them for demos/prototypes (or more specifically, game jams) from here on out, because the speed with which you can get up and running with a fresh idea is vastly accelerated if you only have to program the mechanics, despite this opinion characterizing that as a drawback. I think being able to rapidly iterate on a concept provides a viable path to nailing the fun factor and then convincing players or companies to provide the necessary funding to produce the efficient and secure product this article lauds. That is to say: game engines are valuable tools.
I will admit I don't follow the regulations that the EU applies but most of social media has become worse for me as an EU citizen where the recommendation algorithm has become more aggressive and now with lots of little rewards like the "achievements" on Twitch to make you feel like you accomplished something just for consuming. I feel like I'm the mice in a Skinner Box, so whatever "regulation" they have in place doesn't seem to be working.

You are underselling your self and will sound needy to any recruiter.

Again, not good to undersell yourself.

Don't promise this on the get go as I mentioned before.

You should focus on your network. Work on what your strengths are and what value will you bring to a company. If you keep repeating the Sat/Sun you will get a job that will burn you and you will be looking for another job within months. Just my 2cents.
How does the court decide what's "reasonable"? What does "reasonable" even mean? Isn't it up to consumers and the company to find the equilibrium price? Does the court have some arcane economic formulas I'm unaware of?
Opt-in is not prohibited though, so it is legal to provide the option to use personal data for advertising purposes (or pretty much any purpose for that matter) as long as it's optional, clearly explained to the user and defaults to off.

The astonishing thing about Intel's history was how much happened by accident.

In the 1980s they thought the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_i960 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_i860 were the future. This chip, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_80286 which could have been vastly more useful than it was with tiny changes, was a big hit instead.

Itanium though had fundamental problems with how it was built and couldn't have been saved with any amount of investment; explicit parallelism just doesn't work for ordinary kinds of code because the compiler never knows which data is in the cache except for special applications like DSP.

Itanium certainly seduced a number of those workstation vendors to give up on architectures that could have had a future and invest in one that didn't.
If you've never done it yourself, then the answer is right in front of you.

Before you try to make pair programming happen with your developers, a move that is fitting of the boss from Dilbert comics, I suggest you work on some of your own programming tasks and ask one of your developers to help you figure something out. Doesn't really matter if you aren't that skilled. Just find a harmless task you can do that isn't critical but can help you facilitate pairing as a culture. If it's clearly beneficial, then there's a decent chance your developers will simply start doing it amongst themselves.

However, pairing doesn't magically create good code, better products, or more efficient developers. If your devs don't take on pair programming, then it's in your best interest to accept that it's not for them. Everyone has a different style of being productive, and for some that means deep focus and not playing backseat driver.

In any case, definitely don't try to push pair programming on them without having experienced it yourself. At the very least, ask your developers what they think about pair programming and try to get as honest an opinion as you can. Chances are they actually have opinions on it.
