GPC (Global Privacy Control) is the header that's actually being enforced in (parts of) the US. DNT is considered deprecated by many, due to the nonconsensual way that Microsoft rolled it out.

The Global Privacy Control (GPC) is the header that actually has enforcement behind it in the US, and there are already companies getting fined. California has partnered with several other states to broaden enforcement. Would love something

You might not, but this is exactly how a pistol like this should be carried.

As a Type 1 Diabetic, I'd love to have a continuous version of this to pair with my Continuous Glucose Monitor, mainly because I'm convinced that glycogen output from the liver is what's causing a lot of variability, and woul

I'm curious: did it ever become typical for these studies to publish the data and code? I haven't kept current, but I remember having read studies in times past and they definitely didn't. Not necessarily referring to this or

According to the CDC, guns are used to prevent at least 500,000 violent acts per year in the USA. Why is "wide range of use" being used as the metric rather than "societal good"? While there are downsides, there's m

In any future fusion power plant, a plasma with a high triple product must be maintained for long periods. I love vague terms like "long periods". Long compared to the Planck length? Geological time? Is the advertised 43 seconds

From everything I've ever read and my (admittedly old) ISP experience, people really don't use all the bandwidth. Yes, occasionally there are exceptions.

Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) has to be one of the worst possible re-uses of an acronym ever. This is the second time I've seen it used recently without an expansion of the acronym.

I hope I can buy one of these at the next DragonCon, along side the stack of D20s I end up buying every year.

It's really convenient for being able to quickly whip up diagrams to share for discussion. Like when you have a small group of folks that need to iterate on a DB design, it's super simple to change things. I've used this a bu

I think we have different use cases: I'm trying to help people get compliant && do the right thing. From my perspective "anything that can trigger an uncomfortable conversation with an auditor" is not experimental. An

WRT GPC, yes. We treat GPC as a "essential only" choice, and don't show you a banner. We treat DNT (Do Not Track) the same way, but its legal standing seems a lot less clear, especially due to the hijinks Microsoft did. And G

The alternative would be something like "making you log in to save cookie preferences". There are legitimate reasons to do this, but most would oppose it. Would you provide some market feedback? Would you rather log in to preserve

It may not have been clear: I work for a SAAS company that sells a "cookie banner", or more properly, consent management; it's quite a bit more complex than just managing cookies. Actually, if you're managing cookies, yo

There are literally thousands. e.g. [1] [2] . Are you remotely serious about "free media"? There is no free media. Never was, not ever. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_the_United_State... [2]

As someone who has helped build one of those cookie banners, I will admit that using cookies to store the state of what you consented to is somewhat ironic, or at least meta. It's got some really interesting parts though: serving those

I know folks are going to complain about the aesthetic. As they do literally every time Rolex does something "new". e.g. the Skydweller in the last decade or so. This watch is interesting in that it draws on the Genta-esque integr

The buried lede: ```Populists exploit ad marketplaces, using them to bypass traditional media gatekeepers``` I want to believe that the author is hopelessly naive, and not a more nefarious actor. These traditional media gatekeepers are not

Honestly, seeing this, I'm 1/2 tempted to revisit org-mode and retrying emacs as a dev environment. Don't get me wrong; I use emacs all the time, I just can't seem to make it work for me when working with teams of people

I really don't think that the ankle monitor is going to interfere with Pilates instruction. Florida absolutely has a nonzero amount of "Pilates teachers with ankle monitors".

I very much appreciate that there are people in the world committed to their craft/art like this. Even if I only spend a couple minutes looking, it brought joy.

A friend of mine briefly owned* the autonomous cross-country driving record, using Comma AI. I forget the exact autonomous percentage, but it was above 99%. I want to say 99.4x% but I might just be thinking of Ivory soap, haha. The record,

I know this won't be helpful to folks committed to EKS, but AWS ECS (i.e. running docker containers with AWS controlling) does a really great job on this, we've been running ECS for years (at multiple companies), and basically no

As a T1D: can confirm. Taking insulin is a hassle, but definitely not "I'd rather take immunosuppressants". I'm having a hard time even contextualizing how much worse that is.

I also play electric bass, and love this story. The real question is: do you still have the Hondo?

It's really interesting how profoundly flaky tests are in a CI environment; it's like the classic "Herbie" story from Goldratt. The slow things ultimately determine the whole process.

I just have to say, "A Canticle for Leibowitz" shook me for a really, really long time afterwards. I'm not saying it's a bad book, it's quite thought provoking, but I took about 99 points of psychic damage from it.
