> Google can't do that. Even if they work at Google they can't get it.

I'm not sure I understand this point, so let me make my point clearer. It's clear that Google(TM) can access your data. You probably mean "most google employees can't", which I agree with. But someone can access your data for sure, and in fact you can access your data: if you are a European citizen, you can request all of your data right now, thanks to the GDPR and Google has to comply. There are also other general tools to access the data[1].

So I'm not saying "a Google employee will go behind your back". I'm saying that either "Google(TM) could be compelled by a court order to give your data if laws change", or "someone could use your unlocked PC, click on 'Download my data', and give it to the other part" (again, more likely if the other part is tech savvy and planning on divorcing you).

> I'd like to hear if this has actually happened to anyone anywhere.

Someone getting in trouble because someone took their private information? It happens quite often in the Legal Advice subreddit. Here's one example[2]:

> "My wife uploaded screenshots from my Ashley Madison account, hotel receipts and non-nude but sexual photos of me online before she moved out and filed for divorce. Do I have any legal recourse under Delaware law? (...) They were not public. The photos were from my phone and were not anywhere online and the credit card was in my name only. She had no right to access either one (nor my Ashley Madison account)."

My specific case? No idea. But supposedly private information biting someone back is a regular event. Here's a page some lawyers in Orange County wrote on that [3] with some examples.

* Edit: rethinking my point, I think you meant "how is this a Google problem, rather than an infosec problem". To that, my point would be: the fact that the information exists forever in one central place.

I presume you work remotely?
I tried. However

- On Mailbox.org I receive spam. Lots of it. Why? Because they don’t look at message contents in their spam filter. Privacy, remember?

- On other search engines, I don’t find what I’m looking for. Not even remotely.

- Firefox Dev Tools suck. You have to test across all browsers anyway.

In the end, I will keep using G Suite. There is simply no equal alternative, with my own domains for mail and whatnot.
I recently bought a USB serial cable online to play around with this sort of thing, and promptly saw a blue-screen in windows 10 for the first time I can remember.

It turned out I had unknowingly bought a fake Prolific cable and the (non-fake) windows driver was crashing my whole system every five minutes or so when the cable was connected.

I worked around this by tracking down an older driver with no crash issues so I guess the latest one does this deliberately?

In any case, if you are planning on getting a USB serial cable make sure it's not a counterfeit, if you can.

Oddly enough, I was thinking the same thing.

You've asserted that they're ignoring cost in their pricing, but have provided no evidence for it. Uber and Lyft have claimed to be profitable in their biggest markets. Doesn't that suggest they set prices above marginal cost?
It ignores that and starts at the point where the kernel is loaded by that first-stage bootloader. Which is very reasonable for a beginner's introduction.
>So you are adding more epicycles.

Not really? I don't conceive of consciousness experience as something that can be meaningfully separated from the perception of that consciousness. For a consciousness, perception is experience.

However, I can imagine a perceiving system which does not have any consciousness, and thus experiences nothing.

> Will it not change your behavior when you'll notice that you are confidently calling very similar colors by very different names and cannot say why are you doing that?

In this hypothetical, the "partial p-zombie" cannot distinguish them consciously, so they would not do that. This is the closest thing I can conceive of to what you described.

>I am pretty sure I can't change whether the rock is conscious or not by the power of my imagination.

Visualizing Complexity
I’m doing this in the coming days — setting my custom domain with Fastmail. I’m planning on making that my main email and trying my best to unsubscribe from things on my Gmail account and move accounts over from Gmail to Fastmail until I think for certain I could delete my Google account entirely with no harm.

Then again, I rarely have and like having subscriptions these days because of minimalism but I suppose this is a good trade off for my entire lifetime.

On a different note, does anyone know how GoDaddy is in terms of privacy? Is there a better domain registrar out there?

You can find wallpaper in paint shops, or at least the people there can point you to a shop. You should probably aim to visit a physical shop to see the paper at scale and feel it (there are more aspects to wallpaper than merely an image on paper). They will also have style books you can browse for inspiration.

Also, don't necessarily think about wallpaper as something merely covering the walls - think of it as a decoration, in the same vein you might hang art. As you mention, it doesn't have a structural purpose. One way I've seen used to great effect is to paper only a single wall in a room, with a very bold wallpaper - eg behind the dining table in a large/long kitchen. It helps to "break up" the room in two sections.

> Where can i (sic) buy modern wallpaper?

Online stores mostly. I found a nice collection on Amazon a year ago, but it is a premium category of products.

I think the big box home decoration stores tend to carry mostly whatever is in vogue at the moment and will sell to the masses; like faux brickwork or baroque elements without any sense of proportion or sensible colours. This you might find clichéd or gaudy — I do. And of course the inevitable white and beige in a variety of embossings and patterns.

> Show me something that isnt 19th or even 20th century.

The problem to me seems more that most wallpaper is distinctly 21st century. It is trendy and it gradually changes every season. It is literally designed to look current and up-to-date right now, which by necessity implies that it will look dated in a year or two. The idea is that you redo your walls every five years or so.

I am not sure this helps people get into the habit of paying attention to news instead of hovering over social media sites, other than raising awareness. Every one of the feeds can flood your RSS inbox in a few hours, and a normal person simply don't have time to catch up with all of them. I remember this was how I abandoned RSS the first 5 times.

You may want to pick only a few of them, maybe one for each political leaning, and look at their site to see if they provide feeds by section, then pick the section you are interested in, instead of importing the OPML whole.

> (...) wallpaper is a tough sell for those who tend to fill their homes with disposable furnishings from Wayfair and Ikea. Such consumers generally balk at spending $51 a yard to apply an 18-inch wide ribbon of “Kelmscott Frieze” (...) (plan on spending around $700, plus installation, for that little detail)

I don't own Ikea furniture and white walls because I like the minimalist looks - I own Ikea furniture because I can't afford better, and I have white walls because my landlord will force me to paint them back once I move. Buying a house alone would be quite a stretch, and you bet I'd rather put those extra $700 towards a proper table or, even better, my retirement.

Now, why aren't rich people buying expensive wallpaper? No idea. But that has nothing to do with the "Everybody hates wallpaper" that opens the article.

Great to see a follow-up to our Gigatron computer!

I wonder what you will use for video generation in the C256, because the greatness in 8-bit gaming came from these chips. So you'ld have to differentiate there or run the danger of becoming yet another retro knock-off (well, the merits of compatibility should not be underestimated. Most of the effort will be in software otherwise). For the Gigatron it was ok to have limited video effects, because its insanely low chip count was its primary objective: so we have no tiling, no hardware sprites and no color indirection. But we do have indirection per scanline and you can do neat things with that, such as the bending road in the Racer game.

One thought is to design your own video circuit and put it in an FPGA. ASIC is also an option if you go with a 0.18um/0.25um foundry (X-FAB). You can also do it with discrete logic, but it will become big. There is the Vulcan-74 guy doing TTL (well, CMOS) video circuits:

* Social experiences - bars, cafes, arcades, comedy clubs

* Things you want right away - milk, delis, convenience stores

* Things that can't be commoditized - Copying keys

* Services - Barber shops, mechanics

From the listed words only two have immediately obvious Polish connotations (dźjada (grandpa), and dziadek is grandpa in Polish; śpjelik (sparrow), where śpiewać is "to sing"). Most words have German-ish sound to them, somewhat similar to Silesian subdialect of Polish (though Silesia was occupied by Germany, which is the reason for its influence). The spelling is mostly Polish-like, perhaps from older centuries though; except for some umlauts which clearly originate in German and similar.

One problem is that your user agent is matched against all tested user agents from all times. This includes very old ones. If the user agent was used to track you online, they would account for that it frequently updates and for a lot of users (considering that most browsers update automatically these days).

So the site should really only take into account your OS, maybe its major version, and browser version (which changes frequently so trackers can’t rely on that). Or at least not count any that are not used anymore.
It's not just your town.
