"Rather" appears to be a fine word choice for your intended meaning. I'm objecting to your intended meaning (as far as I can perceive it):

- [θ] and [ð] are objectively similar sounds, differing only in voicing.

- The argument is not even very good that /θ/ and /ð/ are different phonemes in English -- they contrast only in the pair of words teeth/teethe, and one of those words is fairly rare. If you, as a foreign speaker, pick the wrong one of those sounds, you have 100% odds of being correctly understood as a "guy with a foreign accent". Even if you get confused between s/z (compare "visible"), you're very likely to be understood, but with θ/ð there is literally no chance of confusion.

I'm not sure if this is "uncensorable" as they say. Just look at silkroad. The guy got a life sentence.

And if the main developer gets a life sentence, no one will ever want to touch the project.

On a sidenote, I am curious what was going through the minds of these two founders when they decided they would put their linkedin profile on the page. Isn't this just asking for "censorship"? I mean, the cops can just raid their apartment and arrest them.

Yes, it's really that effective - blocking the facebook like button doesn't break most websites.

And typically a request for something like jquery from a CDN will contain little more than your IP address and cookies. You can even prevent the cookies from being sent if you want. The only way they could get away with more than this would be to modifying the resulting script to grab more info from your machine.

Unlike iOS you can install different browsers on Android directly from the Play Store. These can actually be different browsers with their own rendering engines not just alternative UIs on top of Chrome. Firefox on Android for example uses the actual Firefox rendering engine, not Chrome.
In case anyone here knows - where can one buy an "old-school" low-res / monochrome / dithered camera module that produces images this one, for easy use with a raspberry pi or arduino or something? All I get is weird electronics company websites with "request more info" buttons - nothing that gives me pricing and a "buy" button.

Or alternatively, what's a way to transform high-res images to look like that?
Well, the official price normally comes directly from the exchange. Brokers protect themselves against their exposure to their clients by reacting to the markets live. The exchange should be the authoritative source for prices.
OK, so now that implicit contract changed and says Google can show that information above the organic search results. Given this, publishers do have a choice of blocking Google in their robots.txt.

You don't get to imply I'm about to break the site rules and then ignore that.
> You have to struggle/agonize over it. You have to immerse yourself in it. You have to think about it all the time.

We see these ideas echoed over and over by intensely successful people. For example, it's the same one Richard Hamming claims in his famous talk, "You and Your Research"[1]. Kayvon's talk focuses heavily on the side of academia, but the claim holds equally well in two other areas:

1. Community involvement.

As an undergrad, over-commitment to classes leaves little time to give back to the "community," for definitions of community like classmates, under-represented groups, the wider campus, etc.

For example, you can't be a great undergrad TA if you don't put close to or more work into the class than your students do. This means TA'ing should factor into your schedule like taking another class. If you're already overloaded on classes and TA'ing a class, how can you hope to contribute something valuable to your students?

2. Self-driven deeper understanding.

In all these discussions, we're starting from the assumption that the student is driven; otherwise, they wouldn't be motivated to take tons of classes in the first place.

By taking fewer classes, there's more available time for the motivated student to read an interesting paper related to the lecture that week--and read it thoroughly. There's more time to think critically about interesting, new problems, and even to discover one's own passions or calling.

As one last note; if you're a student ever in the position to take a class from Kayvon, I'd very strongly recommend it.

None of them, however, permits tracking quite as cheaply, undetectably, and pervasively

This is a theme. Large swathes of privacy have been eroded simply because technology allowed the Government to use principally legal methods on a much greater and automated scale. And with the past an current government, there is no particular push to reverse this.

The only help here has been the Supreme Court decision on warrantless GPS trackers.
A full cycle of the lights involves each direction of vehicle traffic getting a green light once.

In a "scramble", pedestrians would only get one total walk signal per cycle of the lights. In a non-"scramble", pedestrians get multiple walk signals depending on direction, just like vehicles do. For example, if a north-south road intersects an east-west road, in a non-"scramble" there will be one walk signal for pedestrians going east-west who cross the north-south road, and one walk signal for pedestrians going north-south who cross the east-west road. Thus pedestrians would get a total of two walk signals per cycle.
Oops I'm sorry about the mansplaining then. Can you give an example? I'm struggling to conceive what you mean.
Not only are there privacy implications in terms of what the vehicles will be transmitting locally, vehicles also need to have a network connection as well to receive new certificates and certificate revocations:

Under the proposal, each message will be digitally signed. Each car
will be provisioned with 20 certificates (and corresponding secret keys)
per week, and will cycle through these certificates during the week,
using each one for five minutes at a time. Certificates will be revocable;
revocation is meant to guard against incorrect (malicious or erroneous)
information in the broadcast messages, though there is no concrete proposal
for how to detect such incorrect information.

This regulation will force all cars to be connected cars, and being connected comes with its own security and privacy implications.

Because it makes it even harder for users to take apart websites and understand them.
Not sure about the large number of people, but speaking for myself:

1.Despite having an overwhelming stream of learning resources, it’s still hard to find something that is excellent personally for you not only in terms of theme, level, content, structure, pace, etc. but also fits your learning style the way material just clicks immediately.

Without this clicking you lose precious time and pleasure of a great learning experience, which are among top factors in learning. For many people the time that they can afford to spend to learn a new skill is extremely limited.

And even with some very mainstream themes like learning English or Python, it’s extremely hard to find exactly what you need. There are not so many great courses inside every given niche as you might think (even if you judge by some 5 of 50 criteria that matter for you), and even on top courses the personalization is absent or is done poorly.

2. The more niche is the theme you’re seeking to learn about, the harder it is to find something great, even just something worthwhile of your time. English for TOEFL? Ok. English for business? Ok. English for architects? Ha-ha. English for landscape architects? Ha-ha-ha!

3. Nearly 98% of all courses offer a poor communication model that doesn’t work (at least, for me) at all. Forum only? Slow, ask-and-pray model. Mentorship only? Expensive, hard to schedule. Chat only? Noisy, hard to navigate. Great communication over a course should combine different channels, with each of them being of high quality. Also they should be mixed up very thoughtfully and have a great deal of flexibility/personalization. This alone is quite hard to achieve.

4. Different topics/materials demand different approaches to learning, that are not always obvious, especially for beginners and people coming from different industries. I haven’t seen a course support that, along teaching the subject itself, constantly directs you in terms of how to consume the presented types of information the most efficient way that will save you time and instill the best habits.

Hence many students struggle just to figure out how to deal with the course. Many people have even lower levels of understanding how to approach learning, learning how to learn should probably be ingrained in every course.

5. There is a widespread type of courses that teach you how to build some product, like let’s build a Yelp clone over a month. Many people who take these moocs struggle financially and take them to monetize the new skill asap.

So why so few courses teach how to build commercial products, that will bring students not only knowledge, but also an opportunity to market the outcome and have some real profit?

The pedestrian. You just have to master "the predestrian glare" of making slightly-judgmental eye contact with any drivers that look like they may be wanting to turn into where you want to walk. :)
It is, messages are signed by a certificate rotated every 5 minutes.

So for 5 minutes you know precisely which car it is and then when the changeover happens you just look for which certificate has disappeared and which has newly appeared and do some fuzzy matching based on position and heading. That is not remotely anonymous.
> But they might have seen the icon, and realized it means "it loads fast!", and they want it.

Imagine your country's water sources are filthy and crappy. Your tap water literally stinks - all of that because of unrestricted commercial development. Now imagine that to solve this problem, your government created a certificate mark (Aqua Model Premium, complete with a cool icon), which can be issued to bottle water companies who meet a set of water quality criteria.

People want clean drinking water, they might have seen the AMP icon, so they'll go and buy the water bottles from government-certified companies, right?

(Oh, and let's not forget the criteria are written in such way that the bottle companies can literally shit in the bottle, as long as they use government-certified shit dispensers for that.)

Or how about the government starts issuing penalties to water delivery companies and to those who pollute rivers, until the tap water again meets the AMP criteria?

It's not a perfect analogy (Google is not a government, but it kind of owns most of the web as we know it), but it's more-less how I see this situation. Google already penalizes some bloat; they could push this much further (especially for mobile searches) instead of creating a new pseudo-standard.

The point being, as a solution for bloat, AMP is at best a workaround. But as this article proves, it's not even an effective workaround - AMP pages are free to include all the usual resource-heavy crap, just through a new set of "AMP-optimized" JS libraries.
It would help if Yelp allowed new, emerging search engines (potential google competitors) to crawl their site. But their robots.txt only allows Google, Bing and a few others to crawl them (https://yelp.com/robots.txt)

allow all crawlers and I would have at least a little sympathy for Yelp.

It is probably more than that. I have health issues that tend to negatively impact nail growth. In my youth, my nails grew slowly and tended to be paper thin. Keeping them trimmed and short was not very challenging.

After getting a proper diagnosis in my mid thirties, I have gotten steadily healthier since then. Living without a car and doing a LOT of walking has played a significant role in my improved health.

One unexpected result: My feet have better circulation, so my toenails grow faster and are thicker than they used to be. Keeping them adequately trimmed has become more challenging. This fact helps foster toenail injuries because overly long nails get caught on stuff and break more than they used to.

I can readily see that getting them removed would just make more sense than having them constantly injured if you are an ultra marathoner. I think walking or running a lot actively creates conflict for toenails, in part by causing them to grow faster and then exposing them to lots of opportunities to get banged up and what not.
^^^^^ Truth!!!! Couldn't have said it better myself. Welcome to the America the non-white people have been living this whole time.
The standard cycle has 2 phases:

1. Cars & pedestrians can cross one direction

2. Cars & pedestrians can cross other direction

"Scramble" has 3:

1. Cars can cross one direction

2. Cars can cross other direction

3. Pedestrians can cross any direction
In British terms, the green light temporarily turns your pedestrian walkway into a zebra crossing. You have legal priority, but some drivers are assholes.
This was the key to our data analytics url de-deuping platform back in 2011. We were pulling in 50k social media messages an hour and there were lots of duplicate links running though our pipeline. We had a 100GB bloom filter backed by Redis to keep a list of all links that came though our system and it worked beautifully.
Sure, under a traditional cycle, pedestrians get two opportunities, but each is for only half the crosswalks.
The nouns for heel, foot, and toe have gender. When I get to the end of a dance step mentioning all 3, and it says "and in the final beat you lift <pronoun>", I use the clue that the pronoun gender should match the noun gender to try to finger out what the antecedent is.
Looking at what is best for consumers is missing the point. The point is that when companies use leverage in one market to help themselves or hurt competitors unfairly in other markets it stifles competition.

> they extort and blackmail small businesses

I think you've got your causation backwards; this is what will allow for widespread autonomous adoption. This proposal is making sure that all cars are speaking the same language and are talking to each other. I look at this as the Federal Government standardizing the width of rail roads so that we could get on with our business. But autonomous cars without intra-car communication seems hampered. As to the vision and scene analysis, the proposal specifically mentions that vision is limited by line of sight. This allows for cars to communicate around corners and through other cars. This seems like a net boon for all drivers that won't be rendered moot by a few cameras on cars.
It sounds like most of the security/privacy objections revolve around the ID. If the purpose is safety, why even bother to broadcast an ID? All you need to know for safety purposes is that a large hunk of metal and glass at distance D is approaching or receding at velocity V and angle theta.
