> GDPR does not require a cookie banner when your website does not place cookies

You can place cookies and not need a cookie banner.

You just can't use consent as a legal basis when you haven't yet asked for consent, that's the only thing all these websites are doing: no legitimate reason for the invasive tracking they want to do and thus they're legally obliged to ask you in a clear way if you will consent to it.

If the data processing were to fall under a reason such as:

- in order to fulfill a contract (such as your visitor asking the website to log them in)

- or a legitimate interest (murky, but aggregated statistics like setting returnVisitor=true should fall under this)

- or one of the other reasons defined in GDPR (I think there are three more besides consent, like public interest, vital interest of the subject, and one more I forgot)

then you don't need to ask for consent to process this data or, specifically in this case, place this cookie.
I remember my Grandad ranting about the wonders of the 5600K modem back in the day. He introduced me to Doom back in ‘96, then showed me BASIC in ‘98. Without him, I’d have never have got into computing. So I bet he knows the 2400 baud modem well.

I used to be Google’s biggest fan boy once upon a time. I thought they were the bees knees, then 2006 came and they began using email content for targeted ads (this was when I used googlemail) and I knew they turned bad.

I can confirm it does. Although I moved to a country with more direct auti friendly communication (USA to NL) and only recently realized I'm likely on the spectrum and this heavily motivated my desire to move here where communication is much more direct.
It needs to be kept in mind that this ruling is not really about so-called “gun rights” but part of the Right’s concerted attack on the ability of the federal government to tie the hands of private actors in any capacity. The goal is to gum up the works such that any dispute over any interpretation of technical language must come before a panel of (ideally right-wing, FedSoc) judges, rather than the technical experts vested by Congress with the power to make such interpretations.

What "global society" is this? Most of the world by numbers doesn't seem to have signed on to this agreement. Well-off countries may have made child labor largely illegal, though some of it persists inside their borders, but this just moves most of it offshore. Not that the places where it lands didn't have child labor before, but the scale of their operations grow with exports and industrialization.
Great article, except for an unexpected reminder of how "gamedeveloper.com" just totally thrashed the history of "gamasutra.com"; the link in their own article to their own past article is broken.

Depends on the audience. I've seen presentations to Director-and-VP types that wouldn't progress past the first (fact summary) slide. You'll present a nice summary of your results with the high level conclusions, and someone will open their mouth and say "Well, what about Detail X that I heard about? How did you account for that?" and you say "We'll get to that, it's actually explained on slide 6." "Well, I heard through Dave that..." now you have to either discuss it immediately without the slide's context, or awkwardly scroll to slide 6 for the guy. Then some other exec pipes in with "But, my team's component Y was not included here at all!" and you say, "That's slide 3. I was planning on that being my first topic, but we got side tracked with Detail X..." Then the original exec "Speaking of Detail X, what about SubDetail Z, which I notice you left off [the summary slide]..." Uggghhhhh kill me now.
Yeah because content and services are the same thing.
The author starts by giving 6 tiny thumbnails 3 of which are fine and 3 of which are uncanny. I honestly don't see how the 3 marked as uncanny are uncanny. They also don't mention from which films/media those images are.

I recognized Worf, Gamora and Thanos but not the others and with the tiny thumbnails I don't see what's uncanny about those 3 pictures.
I'm also using the NeoVim plugin right now. Before that I was using the other popular one (can't remember the name, VSVim or something), but the latest version gave issues so I switched.

Only thing that's not working for me is when CodePilot changes some code, I can't edit any more text in that tab. Close and reopen works again.

I guess it will always have peculiarities, but it's still better than anything else in my opinion.

It seems like this would be a pretty big hint that you're looking at statistics the wrong way. When a single fatal crash can make your airliner the 'most dangerous statistically' then perhaps that's not a good airliner to use in any kind of comparison because the number of total flights is way too low to be meaningful.

I do fondly remember keeping a floppy (!) of Word 5.1 in a safe place over the summer in college because Word 6.0 was such a steaming pile of crap.
And yet many of them succeed? So unless you think all their subscribers are stupid, they must see a reasonable value exchange.

In the large enterprise where I work, I've often argued against building our own in-house XYZ with the position "do we want to be in the business of building and maintaining XYZ or do we want to focus on our core business?"

In some cases it definitely makes sense to build something yourself, but in plenty of cases, paying an external company a recurring fee (that is probably less than the ongoing capital you'd spend doing it yourself) is absolutely the right business decision.

Plus, I've rarely seen one-off non-core internal "products" at a company actually be better than the product that a specialized company can offer.

User experience matters, the tools and software your employees use should be held to the same quality bar as what you offer your customers.

And let me tell you, internally built software rarely comes close to that bar.
Interesting, is this not taxed? In some places this sort of thing is taxed the same as "benefit in kind" or similar.

It has neither of these things - it is aimed at individual (non-collaborative) use, and is intentionally very open and structureless. It is uniquely positioned to succeed with their chosen business model.
> The increase in child labor-related deaths is happening and will continue as child labor laws are rolled back in states across the US.

You’re accepting the claim because you already believe it to be true, but both you and the original person making the claim have no evidence for this. This is a very dangerous style of political argument. “Well, there are no facts here, but this claim reinforces my already existing beliefs, so the vibes check out!”

We want policy around workplace safety to be evidence based, not vibes and feels based, because the former will save lives and the latter will not.
It's not hard to get perfect back button behavior with SPAs. You just have to care enough to do it _and_ have written code decent enough that it can be shimmed in.
We don't have a good way to numerically measure similarity to humans therefore the theory that it matters fails is a terrible argument.
It's as good as any other standard: as a baseline of agreed-upon "correct" behavior for interoperability. Anything you add from there is gravy. It's more for implementers than users, e.g. for someone writing a new shell rather than writing shell scripts. Having the standard handy is also pretty useful when writing foreign interfaces, like the posix modules in python and perl.

As for the current state of POSIX, well, you're looking at it. Might find a blog or two of someone on the POSIX committees, but the organizations aren't the kind that keep blogs. Probably best to just dive into the Wikipedia article on POSIX and start following the references on the bottom. You'll probably want to look into SUS, the Single Unix Specification, as well: it's identical to POSIX (plus curses for some reason) but it's the label that OS vendors may use rather than POSIX. macOS and some Linux distributions claim to be fully SUS-compliant; Linux as a whole does not, because its official scope is limited to the kernel which only implements a subset of POSIX.

Fun fact: the name "POSIX" was coined by Richard Stallman.

While I'm not overly surprised by this result, it does open up a number of interesting research questions.

1. How can we get LLM responses to work across languages? This seems like different areas of the network are encoding different languages

2. Are tokens the issue? Do we have different tokens for the same "word" in different languages?

3. Is the model too big and over fitting?

Boeing has many years of backlog, too, this is really normal with airplane manufacturers. The airlines commit ahead, they wouldn't actually want to take delivery today anyway, so the manufacturing system is designed to work this way.
What do you like about Vue? I use Vue at work and yearn for React (though, I haven't written much React since the shift to hooks).
I would think it depends heavily on the degree of control they have over where it lands, which is perhaps something that could be optimized for?

I still think it’s a political non-starter, though. People will be terrified of being randomly struck with a satellite, and it would be an enormous international crisis if an American satellite deorbited and took out a skyscraper in Beijing or vice versa. Heaven forbid one accidentally hits the Pentagon or similar, it would probably start world war 3.
> I never suggested that there are good employers who don't pay their workers competitively.

Agreed. I don't think I accused you of saying that--I just think that what you did say is easily twisted to support that narrative.

> I instead suggested that there are bad employers who pay above market rates as a way to compensate for problems with employee retention. Sure, they'll run out of money doing that eventually, but you'd be surprised how long a business can cover up their mistakes with such a strategy, especially with the right funding partners behind them.

> If you have not had the misfortune of working for such a business, that's great, but I believe there are plenty of comments here on HN to support the notion that such businesses not only exist but are fairly common in any industry touched by Venture Capital or Private Equity, and I have seen many even suggest that their higher financial compensation ends up not being worth it in light of the added psychological and physiological toll.

I'm not saying this situation doesn't exist. I'm saying it's far less common than the situation where you find a job that pays better because your current job is underpaying you.

A friend of mine did work for such a company. He stayed there for 9 months, and then quit without a job lined up, and it took him 4 months to find a job (partly because he was being much more selective about jobs). He a) still made more money in 9 months than in the previous year, and b) leveraged the higher pay history to obtain higher pay at all companies he worked for in the rest of his career. Having talked to him extensively about it at the time (and advising him to quit) I think he'd maybe work there a shorter period, but it doesn't seem like he regrets doing it.

So sure, these companies exist, but working for one is not necessarily a critical mistake as long as you keep your option to quit open (which I think is critical in any job, no matter how good--the ability of either party to walk away from the table is a key component of any free transaction in a free market).
Sure, but that’s just semantics. What matters is voice conversations happen a lot.
Ya it's really the Google-as-only-option problem. I immediately close the window when I see that and move on.

I’ve always thought about this and why it worries people unjustly. Why does it bother people if it goes to the wall? Thats entirely their issue to hawk their product. If they really can revolutionise and disrupt something great. You’re doing work and getting paid and they are hiring now. It’s very easy to explain also later “why did you leave your last place? Well it went bust.”
I have used VIM for a very long time and I didn’t even know R was a thing.

Now that I do know what it is I’m still not sure why I’d use it.

The reality is that VIM allows you to do the same thing in many different ways and people tend to pick a style and rarely use anything outside that style.

It appears that you seem ill equipped to participate in this conversation effectively if you are unable to discern that the 2A, as well as the other amendments in the bill of rights, are not the source of our rights.

I do agree that logging and spans are very similar, but I disagree that logs are just spans because they aren't exactly the same.

I also agree that you can collect all metrics from spans and, in fact, it might be a better way to tackle it. But it's just not feasible to do so monetarily so you do need to have some sort of collection step closer to the metric producers.

What I do agree with is that the terminology and the implementation of OTEL's SDK is incredibly confusing and hard to implement/keep up to date. I spent way too many hours of my career struggling with conflicting versions of OTEL so I know the pain and I desperately wish they would at least take to heart the idea of separating implementation from API.

Show HN: Cofounder matching at small participatory events
I believe that doing /something/ with someone over and over again is the best way to meet a cofounder. When I get enough people (6-20) in a given city, I will organize an event along the lines of playing board games, going to a driving range, or volunteering in some way. The main point is that it's not just people drinking or standing around, they have to be active participants in the activity.

The goal is for you to go to a number of these events, see how others behave and start to build relationships with them. Then you go off and build something with them.

Would love to hear your feedback.

The word 'harm' has been abused a lot lately so that is probably not the best term to use here.
