The cookie notices in the US have nothing to do with GPDR. They are just annoying. They are even more annoying overseas. Someone should do a study on how many people actually care and click no or tailor these? Is it < 50%?

Heads up - most users do NOT care about tracking, and click yes to these popups. Do folks on HN not get this? This is all posturing. If you want to reduce tracking, use a browser that reduces the tracking. Seriously, just use total cookie p

I control who sets cookies on my machine. We all do. Don't like them? Block them. What is gained, SERIOUSLY, by these stupid pop-ups? I'm serious, has anyone analyzed this? It really shows how the heavy hand of govt has ZERO cost&

It's actually annoying, you have to go turn on a setting somewhere. I've had a few folks frustrated with this, I think for most users if they give google access to their location they expect google will remember it.

These cookie banners are so annoying - govt messes this type of stuff over and over. Let me control cookies on my end, I can choose not to accept cookies using my own browser controls, or delete them after 1 hour etc.

Govt has probably forever burnt their credibility in this space in terms of user friendly / operable approaches with their cookie notice hell. Everyone has now been trained to click accept / accept all / OK or whatever on all

This - my parents phones keep getting updates after purchase. They never updated their cheap android (or maybe updates lagged badly and there were none). People are our paying EXTRA for Apple gate keeping pretty happily

I've thought this would be great for longer runs. Put a wire in the road or something for the vehicles to follow. Once you are on the wire some protocol for merge points (also marked on the wire) etc.

No disrespect, but you have probably not implemented or tried to transition a network running on IPv4 to either dual stack or IPv6 native internally. Even the big players like AWS / GCP etc struggled with this.

Man, that is it exactly, they threw everything and the kitchen sink into it AND made it unnecessarily difficult to update systems / be compatible with IPv4. They should have had IPv6 with a header or config for IPv4 gateway(s) configur

I think they are planning to pay comcast/xfinity and others for bandwidth off the home router hotspots in an automated way. So if your neighbor is on that type of program the TV can piggyback on your or their hotspot and push back the

One thing that's very striking to me is the anti-nuclear folks have managed to strand something like 400,000 TONS of nuclear waste in temporary facilities. These are often surprisingly high risk (on large time scales) with many other n

Ahh - very nice. I don't use hulu. I license movies I like on the itunes store if I'll be watching them a few times. And stream very lightly. I would not take it well to have to deal with ads on an expensive device, or even be for

Sorry - I meant to focus on argument from workers point of view. Govt jobs, you can get basically a job for life if you are not a total idiot. Not for everyone of course. One model I've seen some pretty large success with is employee o

I'm using an Apple TV into a projector (which is not connected to the internet). I'm not getting ads through the Apple TV. I'm assuming there will be claims that whatever apple is doing to keep ads out and just have their own

I've not really seen good support for public sector unions are bad (though clearly a fair number have negotiated sweetheart deals). Places like California do relatively well even with high rates of public sector unionization. In terms

This has already happened in America - many union based orgs become totally noncompetitive and had bankruptcies and layoffs rather than blowing away the "drinking buddies" businesses. In the private sector unions now only have a s

Fantastic - then the business goes under. I've seen that happen to, and there is a natural result - good workers leave and the business dies. If you think Amazon is hiring based on this - fantastic, they are doomed by only hiring lazy

Yes, but after a while if it's not getting fixed I just quit! The pay differences are usually token - one of my earlier jobs this happened, and when I found out the other person was getting paid more than me I was super bothered!

Didn't the new york teachers union start a charter school in new york to show that they could operate something effectively? Anyone know how that worked. That might be a good example for union success?

Generally a super lazy worker does eventually get fired by the boss - because there is an overlap of interests. Saying the boss is not interested is totally not true. When I went to school we ALL knew (even the kids) that one teacher simply

Oddly, one complaint workers have about unions is they keep on workers who don't work or are lazy. Interestingly OTHER WORKERS are annoyed by this.

But there is rarely a determination that past activity resulted in a failure or success. You usually just have to show that you have had contracts for past activity (and yes, have not been disbarred etc- which happens very very rarely). In

Despite the claims - apple devices through the apple care program have a good repair story. If you have an elderly relative or parents, really consider an apple device with apple care, they can walk in and out if needed to an in person stor
