I'm willing to be corrected, and specific references would be especially valuable.

My understanding is that under some interpretations of recently still valid EU regulations it's legally required to have some sort of explicit cookie notification and consent. I'm willing to be corrected, and specific references would be especially valuable.

A chap I know uses a 'trick' to help him make decisions - he doesn't make them unless they're important. In a restaurant he'll just tell the waiter to bring him something good. In a bar he'll go for whatever is closest. And so on. The theory, called ego depletion[1], says that you have a limited amount of energy for making decisions and once you use it up you'll find it much harder to make good choices. My friend sol…
I've seen people do this, and my first thought is "what happens when the waiter brings him something he's allergic to?" The patron didn't make the conscious decision to order that specific food, which makes me think the restaurant is now open to a lawsuit. If I were the waiter in that scenario, I'd ask the patron if he's allergic to any of the foods the restaurant serves, which would probably ruin his ego depletion game but would at least cover the restaurant (hopefully) if he then succumbs to his dinner.

Interestingly this really is a click bait title, rather than the usual one that we misidentify identify as such as "Ten Ways a Programming Language is like a Religion." This time.com title encourages you to click it with the bait of finding out who the billionaire is, the implication that they became self-made because of this easy trick and not stating the trick. Thus it is bait to lure a user in. The misdiagnosed ve…
Would like to disagree on that... If you saw an article, for example 'FTL travel is possible'. You think 'Oh lol wtf, impossible' but you still click on it. Inside you find a clear well-formed proof and whatever else you need to believe that it is indeed possible. Does that qualify as a clickbait as well?
No, and you stated why: The article delivers on its promise. If you had said instead "Inside you find a theory suggested by a discredited maniac who scribbles nonsense on his psych ward walls" then yes, it would have been click bait.
