If you emailed me this way, I would wonder why you’re being so dang informal, and feel self conscious about anything I wrote as a reply.

Sounds like someone who’s trying to hype themselves up enough to justify why they spent $1m on a JSON file with a link in it. I mean, it’s a cute and well-made animation, but if you feel like this is a piece “that made people start thinking

Why are you crossposting your own tweet here?
948.
by tobr 5y ago
Yes and, I would add, not just respect the word 'no', but allow it to be expressed in the first place. Not 'maybe later'. Not 'remind me tomorrow'. Not 'manage options'. Just 'no'.

That makes no sense. How is the browser supposed to inform the user what they are consenting to? The point of the law is, among other things, that you need to have informed consent when you process personal information. That’s not a technic

Hard disagree on nested ternaries, or rather chained ternaries, which are just as easy to read and reason about as chained if else statements: if (isA) { return A; } else if (isB) { return B; } else if (isC) { return C
