I still remember vividly a self-made expert explaining to his friend, in the London subway, that "yeah batteries only last 8 years, then you have to swap them out, ergo electric cars are a dumb idea". But I still trust in people&#

Which are those controls? I drive a Tesla since 2019 and have never needed a touchscreen control for the driving itself.

That's, in a nutshell, what the law says since 2018. Whatever you see in cookie banners is either malicious compliance or directly illegal (and already being prosecuted and resulting in fines).

"cookie" banners are required for any tracking, not just teaching based specifically on technical cookies. Blocking 3rd party cookies has no impact. Everyone and their cousin can technically track you with first party cookies.

The cookie banner has nothing to do with first -party vs third-party. The cookie banner is required depending on the purpose of the cookies, not the party setting them.

The interesting bit here, for me, is that the eyes perceive _as almost the same color_ the yellow in a yellow lemon, and the yellow made by the combination of green and blue from a screen. I find that convergence fascinating.

This tool confirms it visually: May is mostly a "month off" in France, with three bank holidays in three weeks.

If you let the user arrange their icons in the preferred shape, for each screen resolution they use, and save that, the problem is solved. As the article describes. The bug described in the article was the icons being moved around without u

From first day of first year, until today: spend time and talk with him, explain what's going on, chat about the day, the weather, the toys, the house, ... anything. And listen to what he has to say. Benefit: his speech is "at nor

You're mostly right. The ban should be on addictive media, not "social" media only.

I guess opportunistic fining and wide publicity would be more than enough. It's only a poor tax if you make it so. The fines are proportional to net income.

Fine the parents. Start light, but get to serious amounts real quick for recidivists. Technical solutions to cultural problems are never going to fit.

Lossless means "is identical". The other two are variations of lossy. Calling one of them "perceptually lossless" is cheating, to the disadvantage of algorithms that honestly advertise themselves as lossy while still ach

Unencrypted WiFi would be equal to broadcasting your unsecured TCP traffic for everyone to eavesdrop in. Early domestic WiFi would use WEP ("Wired-Equivalent Privacy") which was very vulnerable: https://library.fiveable

I was very excited about the "Document-Centric" mention in the title, but the article does not really deliver in that regard (other than indicating that separating content from editor logic is important). What I expected instead:
