You can interact with SafeSearch in one of two ways: by sending a URL hash to Google, or by downloading the list of URLs and performing your checks locally.

As a replacement for Chrome on your PC, Brave takes the second approach, and performs the evaluation locally (pulling down a fresh list every so often for up-to-date comparisons). You'll have to check with Vivaldi on which approach they take.

Brave has all of the phone-home-to-Google logic removed. If you ever spot anything at all that gives you concern, do feel free to let us know.

No, the issue is simply that the alcohol intake he describes should not have that big of an impact.

A few pints of beer or some wine with dinner should not completely wreck the day after, unless there is some medical condition that is worsening the effect.

Personally, I don't care of people drink or not, that's their choice. What I'm saying is that his intake was probably heavier than he claims, which would certainly account for his marked improvement in health when he cut out alcohol completely.
No fusion yet at ITER. They've only just started building it.
You can build every actor like a miniature program, with its own imperative shell and functional core. In Erlang it's common to have various message handlers that are very imperative, but defer all complicated logic to pure functions that take part of the actor state and return a transformed state.

Brave certainly blocks ads by default, I personally don't see a problem with that. Users can't install adblocker addons in browsers, not much different than downloading an adblocking-by-default browser.

I can't immediately find a source for the publisher opt-in thing. But brave definitely hasn't been doing anything like that in 2016 as your articles suggest, because they only just started now with beta testing brave ads[0]. From my personal testing of brave a couple of times, with the ad opt-in activated, I have also never seen this happening.

And publishers (now) seem willing to join[1].

My recommendation is posteo.de. It’s a lot cheaper than Fastmail if you need multiple mailboxes. Browse through the site and read through the company’s values. A bonus is its focus on being better for the environment.

One point to note about Posteo is that it doesn’t allow custom domains (but there are plenty of Posteo domains to choose from). I don’t see this as a disadvantage for my use though.

Other recommendations are Runbox and mailbox.org, both being near the price of Posteo while also allowing custom domains for certain plans.

Posteo, Runbox and Mailbox.org provide IMAP support. So you’re not stuck with the provider if you want to move your mails out (unlike ProtonMail, which has an IMAP bridge only for paid accounts and is a bit more cumbersome to install/use than the alternative of just picking any email client of your preference).
I’d already left the company but they didn’t keep any of the employees.
Eh, it is just the way Apple does things, and people are explaining. You can say they are wrong if you want to.

> I'm not sure what you don't get.

Because you're not clear on what exactly your grievances are with Vivalidi/Brave/Opera using the Blink rendering engine and how exactly does using Safari on iOS or Firefox on Android enforce Google data collection?

> It's not just about Chrome. Decoupling Google services from Chromium is more than about Chrome itself, it's a backlash against Google and data collection at large.

You need to read up on what Chromium is, its an Open Source Chromium browser Chrome is built on without Google Services (i.e. what Chrome is). A large differentiator for Vivaldi and Brave is their privacy first browsers that don't track you:

https://vivaldi.com/features/privacy-security/

https://brave.com/features/

> You could just promote Firefox instead of Vivaldi, but you didn't. Why not?

Because the whole premise of the article is for making a modified Chromium browser fork, when they could instead use one of the existing actively developed Chromium browsers founded by browser engineers. I have no issue with Firefox which I use as my secondary browser, but the replacement for my main browser Chrome would need to be another Blink-based browser.

But I still have no idea what the rendering engine used in Mobile browsers has to do with anything.

That's true, I just meant to express (over-simplistically) that he argued that the mechanism is at the gene-level, which is even farther away from group-selection mechanisms.

The sections about emergent group-level behavior are really fascinating too.

I actually haven’t been in any buildings where I could plausibly have imagined flipping a light switch causing its containing room to burst into flames, which is why if you had said that flipping the light switch in your office caused it to spontaneously combust I would have reserved judgement. I don’t really follow your non sequitur.

You act as if days of your time are somehow worth more than days of some browser engineer’s time. The company I works for makes a decently popular and extremely browser-intensive web application and even we at least do some minimal investigation when we want, say, a Chrome bug to get fixed. If opening dev tools caused Firefox to crash for me you can bet I’d at least try to come up with a minimal STR.

I’m sorry to inform you that you are not that special and that your entitlement is not flattering.
There's lots of factors:

* GC: it probably had a very simple algorithm, rather than a fancy generational GC

* Data structures: it wouldn't support modern functional structures like HAMT

* Compilation: you probably used an interpreter, rather than compiling the code to bytecode or native code

...and of course, the algorithm itself. It may not have been designed for functional data structures, or you may not even have implemented it in a functional style in the first place (Scheme supports mutation).

It was ten years ago. When people fussed about it it was six years old.

How many years back do political actions count as relevant?
That's true, but the core explanation is not likely to be what the original poster described.
I've been experimenting with a lot of geo-based projects over the past couple of years, and something I've been wondering quite a bit lately:

Why is the projection ID(SRID/EPSG) situation so horrendously bad?

As far as I can tell, the only way to take a Shapefile and figure out the proper SRID number, is to take the .proj4 file and run it through an API like http://www.prj2epsg.org/search (which spent some number of weeks down earlier this year, and I haven't tried again to see if the API is back up).

It's funny, because you can't actually take in map data
in PostGIS without the SRID properly set, and yet there's no reliable way to get the number, so working with multiple projection datasets is just... not possible unless you manually do the conversions?

Honestly, if I could get the data that the API above has, I'd run the service myself to at least make it reliable, even though it requires a lookup. But there should be a better system, somehow.
Religious flamewar has no place here. We've banned this account.
That's more like wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Ad driven "free" material is chosen because it was (and mostly still is) seen to be more profitable than subscription based models. If it's not then the onus of change is not on the consumer to make ads more profitable, but on the producer to find what is.

I'm extremely satisfied that ad blocking is spreading ever more rapidly simply because I think that's the most direct way to get out of this current model of profit that leads to so many awful things. The fundamental problem is that with ad based model your customer is no longer the person actually consuming your material, but the advertiser. That, in turn, introduces 'sponsored' content, ads misleadingly ran as actual content, bias in views presented, external censorship of content to remain in the spirit of the advertiser, extensive tracking and data mining of users, and all these other lovely things. Good riddance.
there's also opera. almost worth it just for the speed dial :)
On this matter, Runbox is clear that it will not release/recycle the email address ever. Posteo, which I like and use, has a policy of recycling addresses after six months, which is quite harmful.

Apple seemed to be very reasonable here—they reached out to the developer sensing their frustration with advice on getting their app approved. Seems to me that apple wants to help this to get approved by investing the effort of calling the developer. Remember all the complaints about how apple doesn’t communicate with developers? Seems like they’re trying to do better and I never saw any angry app updates. I mean maybe the policy is silly but there’s better ways to protest than passive aggressive release notes that would confuse the users. I mean there’s a lot of disagreeable things Apple does but is this really the hill you chose to die on?
>Apple is so locked down that I essentially have to use their services

I want to touch on this because in my experience this is less true than it seems on the surface.

The contacts app and calendar app support carddav/caldav respectively- photos use the standard camera interface (mpd?) the things that suck are that you need to use Xcode to develop for it, and you need iTunes to put music on the default music player app (however using plex w/ sync has been my cross platform solution for a while- and honestly I don’t know many people who aren’t using Spotify)

Am I missing something?
I find that with anything where I feel I have to "start over" every time I try to get back into it, the solution is to consciously memorize the key points and the notation of anything I'm learning, using (Anki) flashcards. Michael Nielsen recently wrote a great overview of the process recently: http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html

Making sure the basics stick in long-term memory, you can then build on that anytime in the future without having to review everything.
This entire thing is based on the author missing and still never noticing after writing this entire rant up the key term in the initial rejection:

> Apps with compatibility references to a pre-GM version

Apple didn't say you can't mention the iPhone XR, they said you can't claim compatibility with it yet... the author went through some great lengths to play up the absurdity of Apple wanting to keep the model under wraps and it's pretty clear that was never what they were asking
Yes, I figured as much. I'm sure the reps were "just doing their jobs", but the result was poor service/advice as you mention.

I'm not entirely convinced about some of the other stuff, but you should probably call the power company about the microwave leakage from that transformer. They're not supposed to do that.

>> a small change in parameters (for example, the initial conditions of a process) __can__ totally change the result. Say, for this reason a reliable long-term weather forecast is impossible and will remain impossible

(emphasis mine)

A small change in initial conditions can totally change the result in chaotic systems such as weather forecast, or a much simpler example — double pendulum.

There are systems where a small change changes the results only slightly. E.g. a single pendulum.

Well, I can tell you that I have subjective experiences. I can't prove that to you. You can call it undetectable and magical, but it's very real to me. It is also unfalsifiable, at least to me.

There are tons of options for mail server if you can find a client UI you're happy with over Gmail's web UI (or Inbox's :'( ).

You may also be able to do a query on the SPATIAL_REF_SYS table in Postgres/PostGIS for what you want to do.

Yes, that's well done. But it would be nice to port RattlesnakeOS build system from AWS to e.g. Nextcloud - because you pay for your Nextcloud VPS anyway, most of the time it's doing nothing, and most of the time you don't really care would it build in 2 hours or 2 days.

Check out the browser. By default no ads are shown. Everything is opt-in at all levels.

The idea is to remove the coercion from ads. Users will earn 70% of all gross ad revenue. The remaining 30% will be split between publisher and the browser.

Users can get paid to tolerate ads, or they can choose to see no ads. If users see ads then users, the browser, and sites all earn money. If they don't then nobody earns money and they get to experience an ad free internet.
I'm fascinated by the fact that even now we're making new discoveries about the human body.

Similarly, I'm fascinated how Western science tends to look down upon Eastern "medicine", often ridiculing those that believe in herbal treatments or homeopathy. While I'm not advocating either of those approaches to healing--I don't know enough about either--it seems that Eastern medicine tends to take an individualized approach to medicine that Western medicine is only now starting to realize as important. Furthermore, discoveries like this one seem to indicate that there are constantly new things for us to learn and consider. We should pause to think that other, older cultures, may have made these discoveries (or relationships/inferences) years ago and started to think about ways of leveraging the to improve health.
I would generally disagree with this, just because I believe that government is inherently inefficient. I've been a government contractor and have seen this first hand. I wouldn't disagree that many people in power, both inside and outside the government, work to undermine the programs.

I care about that information and I’m glad they removed your apps, maybe now you’ll start taking privacy more seriously.
Yeah I completely agree this is something that needs consideration. I do have an email address with my own domain but for security reasons any accounts I create are tied to my gmail address. I've known too many people who have had personal domain email addresses intercepted, particularly through compromised domain/DNS settings. One simple MX record adjustment could mean every single bank account, social media profile, etc. all can be taken over.
