> Which means you can’t practically use the new form without feature detection.

That does not follow.

`{ capture: true }` works in both, since it’s an object, and thus truthy.

There’s no need for feature detection in the case you describe.

Sadly, that’s the whole premise of this article.

It’s only a problem if you want `capture: false` combined with other options — since you’d need to pass in an object, that would be truthy in the old implementations expecting a boolean instead. But then again, the additional options wouldn’t be supported in those old implementations either.

I’m confused — what’s the actual use case that’s breaking here?

It sounds like you're referring specifically to Gill Sans [0], which is shipped with macOS and appears to be the font used on Edward Tufte's website [1]. However, it looks like Windows 10 now bundles Gill Sans Nova [2], although I'm uncertain how well it renders.

Maybe instead of avoiding it completely, you'd consider suggesting a bundled alternative to use as fallback for other platforms? I wasn't aware of the font's existence before now, but I'm on macOS and I agree it looks nice on this platform.

Personally, I'll typically disable remote fonts on my browser, since it just makes sites load slower. On desktop it's not as significant, but on mobile it's rather drastic.

Sites don't have to render exactly the same on every platform and browser, it's fine, really! The Medium redesign [3] a few years back convinced me to try system fonts, and I've been really happy with the result. In case any reader is interested, Using UI System Fonts In Web Design [4] has all the info needed.

How do researchers get paid under the current system? My understanding is that the journals do not pay the scientists that produce the articles. Am I mistaken in this?

Perfect comparison.

For anyone that's not seen Look Around You, all the episodes are on youtube. Season 1 is the one to start with, there's two seasons and they're very different.

Some of this won't translate as well, the episodes are absurdist versions of shows that used to be on BBC2 very early in the morning. There would be a show as some science lesson, put on at 2am for people to tape and show in classes. I'm sure it's a pretty wide age range but I'm 30 and seeing slightly warped tapes playing this kind of thing was pretty common for me. Still, even without this I think they're pretty fun.

There's also the pilot for calcium on youtube but there's the other episodes here:

The graph for the payouts would look like exponential decay.[1]

Lets say you walk in with 1000 dollars in your pocket.

If the payoff is 97 percent, you would expect the money in your pocket to be .97^n where n is the number of times you took the bet. Each bet reduces the money in your pocket by 3%

While the curve approaches zero, the real limit is the minimum bet of that particular game.

A major failing with Facebook's process for reporting accounts is that there is no way to enter any text to help them figure it out. I have seen numerous accounts that are breaking the TOS, but it's only obvious if you know some other bit of easily verifiable information.

Without fail, whenever I report one of these accounts facebook tells me "thanks but they're fine, feel free to block them if you still feel this way". Given the limited information available, I can see why they aren't able to kill the account, but the decision would become trivial if they would take even one sentence of information to help explain it.

The Top 8 Video Metrics You Should Be Paying Attention To
The difference between flat earthers and round earthers is that round earthers can correctly predict the outcome of observations using their mathematical models, and flat earthers cannot.

That is probably the most profound rebuttal to flat-earthers I've heard. Granted, it's a grand extrapolation of "where do you think ships go when they sail over the horizon?", but it's an excellent summary.
It would only push the price up on the untrustworthy exchanges, and it would lower the price everywhere else because it indicates the asset is not useful, it could be stolen & dumped on the market, it discourages anyone from getting in, it forces them to use alternative usually less convenient exchanges, etc. And even the counterparty risk doesn't produce that much increase: right up to the end when it was too late, the Mtgox premium was only like 10%. Such a mechanism can't possibly explain all or even a little bit of a runup from $2k to $7k (not to mention, the market cap being an order of magnitude or two higher).

The government has more than enough power to prevent banks and investment firms from getting involved, which could significantly limit the pace of future growth in cryptoasset prices.

In the big picture, a tension between mathematics and the law has always been near the heart of the history of cryptanarchy and cryptocurrencies. Sometimes-Satoshi-candidate Nick Szabo has written extensively on this for ages [0]. I'd summarize it like this: 1) The Constitution cannot ultimately protect the legality of any crypto-related activity against a motivated governement. 2) The government cannot ultimately stop P2P crypto-architectures from functioning, although illegally, short of shutting down the Internet.

Not the cheapest perhaps, but I recently used Ambiq's Apollo for a project. It's an ultra low power ARM MCU. I found it very nice to use mainly because Ambiq only has two models at this point, which makes their libraries very clean.

The other advantage is that its I2C slave core operates autonomously- it provides a shared register space. It means that a master can write a bunch of stuff to the shared memory without waking up the CPU during each transaction (which usually involves clock stretching).

Facebook Says It’s Policing Fake Accounts. But They’re Still Easy to Spot
That has sort of been my take on it as well.

I have a SPA and have 'converted' it into a PWA. My motivation for that largely has been to better control the way assets are cached on the client, I can now control better with the service worker, but there is one really nice benefit:

With the PWA, android devices (hopefully iPhone soon too) can 'install' the PWA to the device without going through Google Play Store (in fact, you can have the PWA install the android app available on Play Store instead, if you prefer). This makes the web-page appear to the user as an app, with a nice icon, and snappy performance relative to opening a link in chrome (even though it is a chrome instance running the 'installed PWA')
Techcrunch Interviews the CEO of Cambridge Analytica
I wonder if this would push Google to move into the smartphone SoC business, perhaps in collaboration with Intel, who already makes a NN processor in the new Pixel, an LTE modem for some recent iPhones, and obviously has CPU/GPU experience in x86 (and could probably design and fab a pretty competitive ARM core if they wanted to).

Google has the cash to do this, and their recent acquisition of HTC engineering talent suggests they are serious about pushing forwards as a high-end smartphone maker.

edit: Given more thought, I wonder if Google was already headed down this track. This mega-merger would only be additional incentive.

A real shocker for me is how little the big tech companies are using their AI powers for defensive purposes. Each smart-project they undertake to detect your friends in your photos and identify cats in pictures is done for a directly profitable feature. But with Twitter and Facebook both getting caught letting foreign actors buy political ads and use fake personas to influence the population, it seems like an existential risk to them. Wouldn't it be wise to direct some of this work to detecting fake accounts, providing an honest experience to users and being more honest overall?

Yeah, Twitter and Facebook would show slower growth numbers. But they would become respectable and sustainable for society, which seems massively more valuable financially in the long run.

Not OP, but tbh, I thought that was more or less common practice. Many people I know do that already.

I tend to only look at 1-star reviews and 5-star reviews in passing. The first ones are obviously pissed with the product and that will colour their opinions. The latter are either enthusiasts that will love everything about it or people that heve just received it and/or are still on the honeymoon phase. I think ignoring them outright is as bad as focusing only on them, but I don't pay them too much attention.

I find that focusing on the reviews around the middle (and, of course, the number of those compared to the total number of reviews) usually gives me a better idea of the pros and cons of a product.

That dystopian/authoritarian view is fully valid if you assume globally coherent policing. It is completely in the interest of any fiat-based sovereign to regulate/criminalize crypto into the ground even before adding the terrorism flavor-text.

Fortunately, we are in a position now where the first countries to outlaw crypto will simply miss out on the explosive growth, pushing it into other countries.

If it is extremely difficult to, for instance convert USD into BTC, the USD price of bitcoin will shoot up (as we've seen in Asian markets where banks have imposed defacto currency controls). The arbitrage would then devalue USD on the world market.

The magnitude of the boom is likely a speculative bubble. The reason there is a boom of any size is that many more people are working on blockchain applications now.

"Google plays a central role in this confusion because they are the organization most strongly attempting to blur the lines between the open web and their platform. Google blurs the line between this is a tool to interact with Google products and this is a direction or philosophy for web development. It can be hard to follow."

Well, between PWA and AMP, and Google's recent hard pushes to both developers and corporate America to adopt them, I can see where that confusion would come in.

In the last 6-8 months, I've been watching and fielding inquiries from clients whom Google's approached on AMP, seen Google holding and inviting corporate dev teams (and marketers) to PWA/AMP hackathons, etc. It's really a full-court press these days, and line where the web ends and Google's ecosystem begins is starting to become lost on plenty of people.
hate to be a nitpick, but Apple doesn't have a license with Qualcomm. Instead Apple chose to outsource all their manufacturing and licensing to Foxconn whose licensing with Qualcomm predates Apple's iPhone release in 2007. In this particular case, Apple instructed its suppliers to make no further payment to Qualcomm. So I guess so long as Apple iPhone are made in China by those sourcing companies, their (indirect) licensing payment to Qualcomm won't change.
