First thing I notice while browsing from EU is that there's only one option regarding cookies. Accept all! Even if I click "Learn more" there's no "accept necessary cookies" or "Reject cookies". First time I encounter something like this.

That's a common dark pattern.

Yep, closed it down immediately. IANAL but that might not be legal in Europe

It’s not really a dark pattern because they’re not tricking you into accepting or coercing more than is acceptable into doing so, they’re just not allowing you to decline. Which means if not accepting cookies is a dealbreaker for you, no problem, just: move along.

I have to admit, for technical folks like ourselves, I don't understand why you care what options the dialog presents. Just use a "Kill Sticky" plugin to nuke the stupid dialog so you can read the page, or even Accept them, and then instruct your browser to do whatever you like with the cookies the site creates (i.e. delete them). It's all in your hands, the popup dialog doesn't do anything you can't do yourself.

Genuine question: What is an egocentric data set? Eli5 please? What can this be used for?

Egocentric means that the sensors frame of reference is the same as the ego (self). The person walking around is wearing the sensors/glasses themselves & their pose is given as “ego pose”.

This dataset is clearly targeted for research on AR/XR/VR applications.
