uBlock and Adblock Plus are ad blockers. They block advertisements from appearing on the web pages you browse. I am not familiar with Ghostery.

Firefox Multi-Account Containers is an extension [0] that allows you to compartmentalise cookies and other data into different containers. It's possibly best explained by thinking about how you might use it:

Suppose you have two Twitter accounts: a personal account and a business account. Twitter usually only allows you to be logged into a single account at a time. This means that if you're currently logged into your personal account, you need to log out first before you can use your business account.

With Containers, you can simply create a Business container and log into your business Twitter account in there. That way, you can be logged into two Twitter accounts at the same time.

Containers do not act as ad blockers and perform a very different function.

For more information on Containers, I would suggest reading the extension's description [0] and/or the support page [1].

This article is talking about a special version of Firefox Multi-Account Containers called Facebook Container [2]. This works similarly to Firefox Multi-Account Containers, but it isolates Facebook to its own dedicated container.

imo, that's basically what they are. altho the fact that they can be created via unit is actually really useful too (even tho thats technically part of applicative).
uBlock, etc are for blocking ads and trackers. That means the trackers don't even load.

Firefox Containers don't block ads, trackers, or anything. Instead, they isolate websites into their own "containers". Think of it like private browsing mode. Except each container is its own, separate private browser, and they persist.

They're different approaches with pros and cons, but they can certainly be used together since they're orthogonal.

Personally I use both. uBlock blocks ads/trackers/etc for me, while I use Containers as additional protection for not just social media sites but also to isolate my banking activity, work accounts, etc. It's useful for when you have multiple logins to the same site, and for mitigating some attacks (e.g. CSRF). [NOTE: I'm using the full featured Multi-Accounts Containers add-on, not the Facebook Container add-on mentioned in the article]

there's a disconnect here though because ford offers you the option of direct purchase. you don't have that with macos. i'd be willing to bet people who use hackintosh would be willing to buy a key and do things the right way if apple offered, but they don't so they find alternatives. it's the same kind of argument used with media piracy: make something easy enough to buy and use legally, and people will spend money on it. make it convoluted and require hoops, and those same people will find workarounds

> Historically, PowerShell was supposed to be a replacement for cmd.exe and roughly equivalent to bash

What? PowerShell has radically different ideology. Plus it is super consistent (helps discover commands), extensible and works with objects rather plain strings, use .NET functions or call custom .dll functions...

> They tried early on to port some of the UNIX & Linux tools to Windows and it didn't fly

Actually they just use aliases to map well-known unix commands to powershell counterparts. It is not expected to have command switches work like that etc. Just a convenience for folks used to rm, ls, tee, wget, whatever. Maybe bad decision because of confusion, maybe a good one because helps people get started with PowerShell.

For me as a Windows admin, PowerShell is one of the best things within Windows Ecosystem.

Whenever this kind of stuff comes up I feel like a bit of a fraud...

I’ve written a bunch of scientific data analysis code. I have a science PhD. Written large image analysis pipelines that worked as well as the state of the art... been published etc.

For the most part I’ve found basic math and heuristics to be good enough. Every so often I go relearn calculus. But honestly, none of this stuff ever seems to come in handy. Maybe it’s because most of what I encounter is novel datasets where there’s no established method?

I reasonably regularly pick up new discrete methods, but the numerical stuff never seems super useful...

I don’t know, just a confession I guess... it never comes up on interviews either for what it’s worth.
We already are doing that there is no need to do it in Antarctica since there is an atmosphere there and the soil isn't toxic.

Deserts, volcanic landscape like those of Hawaii and even a large enough basement would be just as good of a simulation without needing to worry about the environmental impact in Antarctica.

And plus we already have a "city" there.

I have a build using a Ryzen5 1600X + MSI X370 Gaming Plus + Nvidia 1070 GPU with Ubuntu 16.04 installed.

I get lockups once every 2-3 days. I was convinced the lockups were caused by a Logitech wireless keyboard, but the lockups persisted even after trying several different keyboards.

I got my Ryzen 5 soon after release. I really want to love this chip but the lockups are killing me and so painful to debug. I will try disabling C6 and see if this helps!

Nobody doubts that pipes and languages like awk are great for one liners, but I think that's a little besides the point of this post, which is advocating for things like the use of bash arrays:

```
array=(
a
b
)
array+=(c)
if [ ${#array[@]} -gt 0 ]; then
rm -- "${array[@]}"
fi
```

```
array = [a, b]
array << c
array.map { |i| `rm #{i}` } if array.length > 0
```

There's also nobody stopping you from using text processing tools like awk and sed, or bash one liners in ruby/python either, but I think we should leave the logic and arrays for scripting languages, no?

>> Mathematics has not developed the asymmetric language required to capture our understanding that if X causes Y that does not mean that Y causes X.

There we go again. These assertions by Pearl discredit him. Yes, mathematics can capture this perfectly well, it's the implication relation in a nutshell: X → Y means that X causes Y but we don't know whether Y causes X.

I guess, strictly speaking, implication doesn't say anything specific about causality, so you could conceivably claim that A → B ("If A, then B") is not a causal relation, because even when B always follows A we can't be assured that A is the cause of B (e.g. two alarms might go off one after the other always), but that is really splitting hairs. The semantics of implication are broad enough that they can cover both strict causality relations _and many more besides_. The intended meaning can always be made explicit in language where it's not clear from the context ...and that's what Pearl is most likely complaining about. He basically wants a stricter interpretation that can only cover causal relations so that the meaning doesn't depend on the context. Because!

The whole point here is that Pearl wants his causal reasoning framework to be accepted by everyone, even if it's not really offereing anything radically new.

That scripting in Python is pretty bad. It makes thing harder and at the same time you still have to think a lot about what can go wrong, because there's no enforced error handling.
> You say nanobes aren't life, but then you say you don't know? Pick one.

No, ben_w said that they “aren’t ‘determined to have life’”. That’s a very different statement.

But I’ll go out and say it: they aren’t life. Nobody is talking about nanobes any more. There is no research on nanobes in the life sciences. This is not a hyperbole, I mean that the number of articles published on nanobes in over two decades is literally zero. No single lab in the whole world is researching them. The last scientific publication on the topic, from 2001, was a review concluding that there’s nothing to it.

They were an embarrassing mistake that briefly made headlines.

>Rocket engines are dangerous and unreliable compared to planes

To be fair, that's the problem they are trying to fix. This is like telling Microsoft that personal-computers will never work because they are big, expensive, difficult to use, and crash all the time.
Just my anecdotal experience, I've seen it come up in interviews for an algorithms group at a medium sized biomed company.
I'm a huge PS fan and like to stay as far away as possible from Bash but still, I wouldn't call it better than Bash. At least not always and everywhere. More like different. Both come with a list of advantages and disadvantages. And once you learnt one, the list of disadvantages of the other probably seems too big to even start with it, at least that's what it is now for me.

Personally I've trained the habit of opening most random links in private browsing mode. Besides achieving what you mention it seems like good, additional mitigation against tracking/security/etc. The only downside is lack of browsing history but I've never had much use for browsing history (mostly because I've found the search functionality in browsers to be useless).

>By the way, you criticize the previous commenter's assertion, but you haven't provided any rationale on why they might be mistaken.

Fine. John Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick, Steve Cohen, Bill Gross, LBJ, Larry Ellison, Pablo Escobar, Donald Trump, Bo Xilai, Harvey Weinstein, Vladamir Putin. And those are just a small fraction of the HUGE assoles. Not even run of the mill assholes like Jobs.

Recent history (and ancient history) is filled with successful assholes. So, my rationale that it's not something that can be asserted without evidence is simply the prevalence. Which, to be honest, probably didn't need to be said. This is common knowledge.
> Why can you not modify the editor environment that you use often?

Because I am not the only one accessing those environments (please note the plural here).

Currently there are about 13 other sysadmins in my team and we manage clients infrastructures among other things (managed services). From time to time someone from another team accesses those environment (not a sysadmin, but still familiar with the bash shell). Sometimes the client accesses those systems (rare, we try to discourage and avoid that).

Can you even imagine what a mess it would be if we all started applying our own favorite settings ?

Just be because you can layout two axes on a chart together doesn't mean you should.

There's enough differences between what is meant by "network effect" that it's difficult to understand why companies might be on one end or the other (or even which line of business we're discussing).

Overall I like the work here and I personally haven't done the legwork to come up with my own theory on a moat visualization. However, I do feel this framework is a stretch and would need more justification for a) why these two axes matter the most and b) better definitions for the axes.
It's not about knowing, it's about learning artificially.

> What if you were a cop? Would you criticize a cop who has learned the streets?

I would appreciate cops learning anything, but given they got a GPS and older colleagues knowing the streets name by habit, I'd prefer they spend time learning the law. The names will come naturally with practice.

> Shouldn’t a biologist who is at a talk about felines understand the biology of felines without looking it up in a book?

See that's the problem here. You assume you can't know the biology of felines without knowing all the names of all muscle by heart.

It's like saying I can't understand a program if I don't know all the functions of it's API. And while after years of programming I know a lot of things without needing to look them up, I never learned nor will learn any listing by heart. It's a waste of my time. I need to understand algo, complexity, interractions. Names are just an interface, useful, but not required for modeling.

Same things for you biologist. He must understand the interractions between the organs, the chemistry, the musculo-skeletic chain. Naming all the muscle is just a bonus, and now that we have books and computers, it's not a priority anymore.

Does knowing stuff by heart makes you more efficient ? Does it make you a better pro ? Yes, but only if the more important stuff are understood.

And if you are a student, mindlessly learning all names is completly a waste of time. Espacially since they are going to forget most of it after graduation, and learn it back again on the way.
From my experience you are chasing an illusion or a "rare event". It's unlikely you are going to find what you desire with the current generation of women, maybe you'd have had higher chance in previous ages. Now it's like with jobs - most likely the only choice you have is how much money you get and to what extent your boss is going to be terrible, but all jobs look the same (barring luck). So with girls you shouldn't expect deep meaningful conversations and working on something great together (unless it's political/economical power, including internal war once you reach interesting level); get buddies for that. Similarly, the same frustration is shared by women as they don't see much interesting going on with contemporary men, when it comes to their preferences, and neither side cares about compromises anymore. So either accept you will have at best an actress pretending she likes what you like and you'll be an actor simulating her preferred type, or focus on something else that seems meaningful to you. Romantic love is dead and buried (again, barring some rare exceptions).
AMD tightened up manufacturing at Week 25 and the incidence rate is significantly reduced after that point, but there is no date range (or factory code) on the 1000-series processors that is guaranteed to be unaffected and I recommend that everyone test their processor just to be sure.

I've seen about a dozen reports of faulty post-week-25 processors crop up in the AMD Community Forum and on Reddit from different users. Which is of course a lot better than pre-week-25 where the overwhelming majority of units are faulty. Of course, most users aren't testing for it in the first place, especially since the newer processors were widely (and incorrectly) reported to be "fixed", so it's hard to say.

I am guessing that this was finally squashed for good in the 2000-series stepping.

Incidentally, there have been reports of the latest patch of Battlefield One having strange random crashes on Ryzen 1000-series but not 2000-series or Intel processors, that is reportedly fixed by disabling SMT, and I'm wondering if that's another manifestation of the segfault bug. It's hard to say, and the reality is the first-gen silicon will never be 100% trustworthy. Buy 2000-series processors instead, it's worth it for the peace of mind.

Personally I've found myself writing lots of simple command line utilities in Go. YMMV but the standard library handles file IO, network stuff, running external commands and a bunch of standard encodings really well. It also has static typing, and awesome concurrency features.
