Sad. I grew up in Champaign-Urbana and remember attending a talk he was giving about Prairienet.

Please don't give the EU any more ideas.

Please, give them more ideas. They're the only regulatory bloc that's willing to protect users from corporate overreach and oligopoly.

Their core thoughts seems to good, final result isn't.

I could do without js.

As the "cookie consent" debacle showed us, websites won't stop using JS, they'll just bombard you with consent dialogs until you click the button that makes them go away fastest, which is likely the one that involves consenting to run their JS.

I don't think I've ever seen a cookie consent behave that way, they just make it 1-3 extra clicks to refuse non-essential cookies; which is in violation.

A reminder that the "cookie consent debacle" is intentional. There is no requirement for a popup or any system to ask for your consent to store cookies if you simply do not store unnecessary cookies, and the carve out for "necessary" cookies is huge.

Every time you see a popup to approve cookies, it is explicitly so a company can beg you to allow them to track you for free money.

Right, this about what websites will do in response to legislation, not what the legislation actually intends for them to do.

I'm entirely ok if the punishment for violating the law (most popups violate the law) is to shut down the entire website for 6 months.

Then turn it off.

Why not? GDPR isn't flawless, but im sure happy it exists

He paid some ex-con $50k to dig up dirt on the guy.

I believe the official term is accessory dwelling unit. You'll have to check your local zoning regulations on the rules and regulations for those. Yes there are companies that specialize in building those.

ADUs generally have plumbing/electrical and are permanent living spaces. You could get away with an accessory building (permit required) or depending on your zoning, a smaller structure/shed (no permit required).

My dad was a EE professor specializing in semiconductor fabrication and he warned me away from a career working at semiconductor labs. He has warned me about every single warning of this post.

Whether they represent a liberal district or a conservative district, every legislator in California represents a significant number of constituents who wants their kids to go to Cal.

Yeah I got a kick out of watching his videos and seeing him every so often pull out some slightly wilted vegetables to make his dish. Quite the contrast to seeing all the pristine ingredients on TV cooking shows.

And, although not a junior, Eric Hansen aka one of the chessbrah also beat Magnus this tournament!

A professor of mine once told me about when he was in school he studied a book written by a famous expert in the field and found a bunch of errors. So he wrote back to the author with the error and, after some back and forth correspondence, the author offered him a job after graduation. So that was how he first got his foot in the door in the field.
