A new study shows hardly any website cookie consent forms comply with Europe's GDPR rules. What if I want a cookie?
I wonder what the processing overhead would be if sites switched to some sort of digital fingerprinting (ala EFF's Panopticlick)

Seriously?
Well, I never expected that!
Who would have thought that web-site owners could be lying, thieving con-men?
My hosts file has 5,132 entries for sites that break the law. I neither associate with nor render aid to criminals -- even if they've got cool web-sites (theverge.com, this means you).

AbemaTV’s new documentary “Full Moon Lovers” will follow Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa as he hunts for that special someone — who will then join him on a SpaceX trip around the Moon in 2023. Hopefully the moon will not hit their eye (like a big pizza pie)

Smart: no one will hear so he can quickly ditch them if things don't turn out well.

Bethesda’s has given its re-releases of Doom 1 and 2 from last year a pretty hefty update that improves performance, adds new features, and gives access to a huge amount of content in the form of free community-made add-ons. Finally! Now I can play it on a computer, rather than on the refrigerator and toaster.

Best sit down and read this story with a mug of hot steaming (green) tea Drink fast - next week it will kill you.

Golly!
That's a wonderfully interesting bit of research, which proves categorically that green tea is good for you.
Where was it carried out, again?
It's almost as interesting as the research from Brazil, showing how good coffee is for you.

Let's add French research which proves that red wine is good for your health, and Bavarian research which proves that beer is good for your health.

Frederick the Great proclaimed (13-Sep-1777): It is disgusting to notice the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my subjects, and the amount of money that goes out of the country as a consequence. Everybody is using coffee; this must be prevented. My people must drink beer. His Majesty was brought up on beer, and so were both his ancestors and officers. Many battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the King does not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be relied upon to endure hardships in case of another war.

Their entire research project is a giant Leslie.
In the 1970's I heard a radio 'news' about people who drink six or more cups of coffee a day have twice the chance of a heart attack as people who don't. And in addition, they found that tea drinkers seemed to average fewer heart attacks than the norm.
And this whole study is worthless BS because they forget to take into account the same thing:
In the 70's it was "coffee and a cigarette" and tea drinkers, on the other hand, were less likely to smoke than the average population. Most people who smoke die from the heart attack (nicotine) before they get lung cancer. Unfortunately in these studies, they always find what they're looking for.
Remember the three C's:
Coincidence
Correlation
Cause and Effect
And learn to observe the difference.

The vegetable in question looked like an ordinary, chunky Idaho spud, although protruding out of one side was some kind of antenna, a black plastic appendage bent upward. Welcome to the Internet of Tubers

I have to say that I disagree entirely with the article writer.
It looks like a russet potato, not an Idaho.

Can it be converted into a chip for faster processing?

Ever-faster processors led to bloated software, but physical limits may force a return to the concise code of the past. "Better, stronger, faster."

Analytical thinking can lock the mind in a box. New research from professors at Stanford and Santa Clara suggests engineers lack a basic ingredient. The academics' solution is, well, controversial. You might be an engineer if...
One of many /sigh-worthy articles today (just wait for the next one though)

So the solution, as the writer went to great lengths to point out, is a new buzzword?
How utterly ridiculous and behind the times! So 2010s!
What we really need, to definitively and completely resolve the problem, is a new "Engineers" icon!
