Julia on Google TPU: Shakespeare RNN

"Error Could not access the resources needed to display output. This is probably because third-party cookies are not allowed by your browser. SecurityError: The operation is insecure."

You know what doesn't throw errors whenever I just try to look at it? Products like Jupyter notebooks - stuff not made by google. I believe Colab is a using dark patterns to discourage blocking 3rd party cookies by subtly breaking what should render as a simple non interactive webpage to passive viewers.

To me, at least, Google and their dark patterns are considered harmful.

Here's what I white-listed on uMatrix:

* raw.githubusercontent.com — it's loading the notebook directly from GitHub, so yeah, this one is fairly essential. Just need one XHR here.

* googleusercontent.com — no cookies, but it does load scripts, css, a frame and an XHR here.

That's it. There are some other domains it hits (like fonts.google.com and gstatic.com), but they're not needed to view the file.

Thanks! But instead, I'll just avoid Google.
