Idk, I’ve had bad handwriting my entire childhood and I still have bad handwriting now as an adult. I’ve (somewhat jokingly) announced that I am “illegible”. It isn’t a detriment to my day to day activities at all, because I can type sufficiently well

How would more efficient compliance help the constant annoying pop ups?

You are not required to present an annoying banner to the user. You could simply honor user-agents' DO NOT TRACK header and silently avoid setting tracking cookies and that would comply with the law.

According to the rules, accepting or refusing cookies should be equally difficult. Making them both difficult makes people not use your site, so the incentive should be to make both options easy if you follow the rules.

Malicious compliance is to make cookie acceptance much easier than refusal. Lack of oversight doesn’t punish this. Now, the incentive is to make life hard for people who decline cookies. That results in more annoying pop-ups.

> Malicious compliance is to make cookie acceptance much easier than refusal.

That isn't malicious compliance, it is just non-compliance. If the equally difficult rule wasn't there then it would be malicious compliance.

also, session cookies for eg login and error tracing etc dont actually need a banner. you only need to use it if youre participating in the internet stalking behaviour by integrating eg google analytics and similar integrations

Only the cool ones

The comment above is illustrating why the judge’s decision would be silly in another circumstance. And if it’s silly in that circumstance, it’s silly in the judge’s circumstance as well.

Exactly. Detecting AI writing is an arms race that can only end with detection coming in second place.

“Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping” - Jordan Peterson

Nice basic advice but ironic coming from him

I like to think of pre-12 Rules Peterson and post-12 Rules Peterson as two separate people.

Some mix of the fame, coordinated bad-faith campaigns against him and the Benzos broke the man's brain.

But you go back to his lecture series and TV show appearances from 2017 and prior and the man is lucid and insightful.

Broken clocks and all.

There's no shortage of other clocks to cite.

That said somewhat the same thing? I despise the guy as much as the next person, but it's a useful thing to think about, regardless. Who cares who said it?

I wish he hadn't said that ! :-)

He has said a lot f things I agree with, and also some stuff that seems intellectually and morally bananas; particularly around gender and sexuality. There was a point something shifted and he took, imo, a darker turn. Maybe it was his wife's illness, his own addiction challenges, or perhaps he was a victim of his own success and lost too much humility.

Probably a combination of those plus factors we aren't privy to.

I don't really know how to take the measure of a man and probably I'm not qualified to. I don't think he was evil though. People are complicated and not at all black and white.

Addiction, fame, loss, he was early on the anti-woke stuff, which became a major cultural flashpoint, money.

Believe it or not, he was a pretty good academic at one point.

In the audiobooks of 12 rules (which he narrated himself) there are some patches that are pretty touching and heartfelt.

I saw him in an interview with channel 4 news in the UK where the reporter boorishly tried to trap him constantly, to no avail. But just as you think, 'this is a smart guy', he begins to get incredibly smug and totally insufferable. The guy is a bit of an enigma. Mixed in with the rubbish there are some interesting ideas...

I have a lot of difficulty thinking those changes alone would solve congestion. I’m especially thinking is ski traffic along I70 from Denver to the mountains. The issue is just volume of passenger vehicles, and there are no other realistic routes

Just drive anywhere with more than usual density in traffic and you’ll find trucks in the fast lane when they stop and start create gaps in the fast lane where no traffic can go. If you took out trucks altogether during peak hours you wouldn’t have these slow bubbles of traffic at the worst times..

Edit: let’s think of this from a pure scientific point of view - if you had 3 lanes and split traffic across them based on a range of speed - that would be the most optimised in terms of throughput for all lanes. Now, consider a reverse Amdahl's Law… what’s the worst thing you could do to make the fastest lane crawl which in effect kills total throughput across ALL lanes? Put a slow truck in it! Put a few, and you’ve just turned the lane giving you the highest throughput to most likely the slowest lane.

I just parked my car after another morning of commuting. Thought experiments alone in today’s traffic again confirmed my theory.

Contrary to this, if you only have two lanes available, and trucks aren't allowed to overtake, you'll eventually end up with a long train of trucks without any gaps, and it'll become impossible to merge onto the highway from an on-ramp.

if trucks had free reign before and after peak times, this wouldn't happen

Hardcore History is phenomenal. It’s a bummer the release cadence is so slow, but I understand why

I’m so glad to see someone else who thinks this. Barren walls, vinyl flooring, 5k Kelvin lights, and scented candles everywhere. It’s like the most miserable consumerist environment imaginable.

There was a reason for those popcorn ceilings and carpeted floors (and it clearly wasn't aesthetics).

A good scented candle can really help make a room feel better. Scent in general does that, though. Incense or a fireplace could also work
