Microsoft is the biggest offender of this. Use edge browser at work because have to and this don’t show again for password saving never does a damn thing. Why admins in a workplace would ever even allow option of password saving is beyond me as it seems like a risky move.
fyi, the Parthenon was specifically designed so it didn’t have any straight lines, even when it seemed. It’s part of its perfection as an architectural masterpiece and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Dude, I had this exact conversation with our compliance team. They told me I couldn’t write literally anything client-side unless the user agreed. They also insisted that I always show the cookie banner if there wasn’t a cookie. Dumbest shit ever. Used the litany of user bug reports on day 1 to tell compliance to go fuck themselves.
The GDPR literally does not apply for non-personal data. I don’t get why companies are so ridiculous with their cookie banners. Nevermind that they have no qualms violating the GDPR in plenty other places.
Especially the ones that are so fucking obnoxious that you have to go through it to even view the site. I don’t bother most of the time. The banner should be unobtrusive AND there should be a button that rejects all. I shouldn’t have to go and click edit preferences, uncheck a bunch of check boxes, the click confirm. There are some sites that are doing it correctly, but they are few and far between.
Don’t be so quick to dismiss the feedback from compliance teams. It’s possible TOU are written such that you really can’t store data on the client without agreement. It’s also possible that other regulations besides GDPR apply that you may not be aware of, for example those specific to banking or health.
We’re a global company making enterprise software. We have all the certifications including really nasty ones like FedRAMP and HIPAA combined. GDPR is a walk in the park comparatively. I’m well aware of the details and deal with compliance on a nearly daily basis. The only justification was “just to be safe”, which is why they quickly acquiesced to storing the string “false” after pushback.
never understood why kids are taught to look left twice. the first look is redundant because the second one updates your knowledge about the traffic situation anyway. just look right and left.
You’re presuming people are paying attention to everything all of the time, which they don’t. Humans need that extra level of redundancy to mitigate our own shortcomings. Also, we look twice right as well! Once while standing still, the second time instinctively when you’re already crossing in case something changed. Would you be required to do this 100% of the time? Probably not, but learning from a young age you can’t trust one look is good practice in more ways than one.

No. I’m assuming they don’t — that’s why I see no point to look left first
Looking one time each way before crossing a road very clearly assumes you have seen every danger from one glance, otherwise you wouldn’t be confident in crossing the road.
The point of the second look left factors in the uncertainty that creeps in when you look right and spend time on the decision making process. It doesn’t feel like much but a lot can and does at times happen in that moment. You also lose some focus on what was happening on the left side because you need to shift your attention to the right. It’s like a quick refresh because once the decision is made to cross you can’t always take it back. As for you assessment of it being redundant I get where you are coming from but it’s more of a percentage of effectiveness thing. The first look left might only add another 5-10% to the the accuracy but that’s where most the errors can be prevented
You first look into the direction the cara are coming from (left in your case) and wait until you can cross the road. Then you check the other side just in case and while crossing the street, you look in the direction the cars are coming from again just in case something crazy happens.
If you look right first and then left, there night be cars coming from the left in which case you’d have to wait until they pass, then look right and then left while crossing the road. So your proposal would lead to one extra “looking to the side” if there happened to be a car coming.
The real elephant-in-the-room is that wypipo tech comes from aliens
wp have existed for almost 4000 years, but only went ahead of the rest of the world in the last 400
Tesla was undebatably of alien origin, you simply need to look at his face. All of earth’s history is just extraterrestrial proxy wars, and we can barely even perceive, much less understand, the tools they use to fight them
It's crazy that we gave away so much real estate to cars like in this cartoon and how we let the auto industry start blaming pedestrians for getting hit by cars rather than the other way around.
