I find tracking abhorrent.

However, the more I read about FLoC, the more I want to also read a blog post that shows just how finely I have been identified. The practice of the theory. Like the browser fingerprinting sites we all know and love.

Is there a site out there that shows how poorly this new tech protects my privacy?

It would be great to show to people.

That's not it. Unity let you find at you typed to get to menu options. So you did not have to care whether the item you wanted was under File, Edit, or whatever, you could just start typing "preferences" and it would let you find it and go to it with the keyboard.

That was pretty good, actually.

The insane stress levels from being in their situation also affects cognition.

So I am not surprised if merely looking at sleep amounts fails to explain differences.

I only buy Android One phones now. Monthly security updates for several years, guaranteed. Pretty stock Android, too.

Great? Perhaps not. But much better than the phones manufacturers just dump onto the market and then forget about.

Yes, whether results for rodents on a seven week exercise program actually transfer to humans remains to be seen.

But I would like to point out that besides subjective preference and enjoyment, it is quite clear to me that humans are pretty crap compared to everything physical, except for long-distance running.

We are not the fastest. Not the strongest. Not the best swimmers or climbers.

But as an animal, and on a population level, we are really good at jogging.

So besides being useful for endurance hunting, perhaps it is also the kind of upkeep we need to stay healthy physically as well as mentally?

That was my thought, too, but the "every" makes it a stronger mandate than what both of us came up with. Without the "every", you could let some questionably superfluous words stay.

All the other comments that are here now list alternatives. Has anyone compared these and can share some insights on pros and cons of are these pretty much equivalent?

Local WordPress development sounds like something I might want or need, but have not looked into yet. It would be great to hear what's out there, what's good, and what one should look out for.

We have CVSS scores for grading vulnerabilities. So that could be useful as a start.

No Persistent Volume support, so not great for stateful applications. Claims that type of thing is "magic", and therefore out of scope.

Quite an engineering feat, though, I am sure! Is this to have fun, to learn, to actually use in production?

They will sell you the car currently in their lot that most closely matches what you need. Not what you actually need. Just the closest they have.

I still remember being swept away by Google Wave. Such a cool idea at the time, I thought.

That was such a good idea compared to Google Plus. Your content, your comments, just aggregated.

They could have pulled it off, too, I am sure. They just didn't want to.

You can get most of that with uBlock Origin right now! "Block large media elements" and set the limit ridiculously low. You now have to click to view images. Control this via settings and filter lists.

I believe you can!

Quite a few companies have been fined for violating the law, and we are seeing positive effects for privacy because of it.

The cookie stuff, yes, it's annoying for us end users. I get it.

But take how H&M were fined for violating the privacy of their employees. That they had to stop doing that is a Good Thing, right?

It is actually good enough to be here that often. More often, even.

It's like in this xkcd. It's always new to somebody.

Sure beats the General Protection Fault we were so accustomed to back in the day. :)

Run a lambda every time you GET your object, so it can do data transformations. Seamlessly. You won't even notice until your bill comes.

And you won't feel like optimizing this either, because now you have tools and processes that depends on this behavior.

Seems easier to me to do this via regular Lambdas instead, but also save the data as an automatic cache for some amount of time. S3 can clean it out automatically. So your lambda will either fetch the cached version or compute it for you upon request.

Storage is much cheaper than processing, that's for sure.

I love the idea of a city-only electric car that is speed-capped at something reasonable.

They would be the easiest to automate fully (lower risk of damaging pedestrians or others on the road) and do not pollute inside densely populated areas.

Your average speed in a city center is pretty low anyway, so if it could be automated to avoid slow starts when lights turn green (I have to imagine that automated cars could simultaneously start, rather than having to make sure the car in front of you had committed to driving before you do) would actually improve the experience and average speed immensely.

That demographic makes for a more positive marketing campaign.

Look at ads for fashion that actually targets older people. It will also feature people in their early thirties, at most. Everybody still knows exactly what the intention is.

Turn on automated close captioning on youtube, and see how often it gets the speech wrong, even for English. Now imagine feeding that into a translation service.

The output just barely manages to get the broadest meaning across. If even that.

If it is also supposed to be real time and able to handle a conversation at a realistic pace... just forget it.

This is just too be able to list it as a feature, it's not actually going to be good or work.

Plus, is not "reduce motion" a very common setting to get away from useless animations? I recall using that setting to make the whole iPhone feel snappier.

The two most difficult ones are naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors. HTH. ;)

Could be a new API that needs to be supported. I just downloaded another app (NewPipe) that let me specifically choose some new API that made its external storage permissions work.

The thing is, say that you would be exempt by the blockers.

The way they work is not by downloading and checksumming scripts to see if they are allowed it not. They just downright refuse to download what is blocked.

So someone could use your special whitelist status to get their creepy tracking into visitor web browsers.

That does not make sense to allow for blockers.

Hence, you will continue to be blocked.

Great effort, though. I wish this were the future of analytics.

Ctrl-u and Ctrl-d in vim, if I am not mistaken.

Probably depends a lot on which window manager you use. Even Windows does virtual desktops these days.

Sounds like personal preference more than anything else.

I don't want to turn my neck all the time, so one big monitor is better for me.

What if it's actually someone else that discovered this and is just publicly posting and acting as Schnorr, in an attempt to prove their point? ;)

Every single WordPress blog ships it by default.

I would not start a greenfield project based on it today, sure, but it is used by a truly staggering amount of sites today, so having it get updates in the form of security fixes and some additional functionality benefits a large part of the web.

The point of being a CEO is that you are ultimately responsible for what decisions are made. Even if decisions are delegated. Because guess what, you as CEO are responsible for delegating correctly.

Failure to realize this is shameful.

Agreed. Don't see where iteration would be needed here if knowing group size is the actual goal.

It looks like a blog post that arrives at "this is essentially what the modulo operator does for you", but with an O(n) algorithm.

However, add a step inside that iterative loop that chooses, at random and without repeats, the actual named employees that will be in these meetings (which I believe will be the point), and none of this matters anyway, since you will wind up with something that is worse than O(n) anyway. You intrinsically have to iterate over the entire list and then, somehow, also choose employees at random, which cannot be "free" in computational terms.
