I was toying with an idea a while back of making sites just for non visual browsers.
There was basically just a piece of css, blocking the visualization of content and letting users know this "this is a web 0.5 website. This site is best viewed in a terminal".
The enforced rules where kind of a gentleman's (gentleperson) code of no css no js.

Conclusions I got is that the thing had crazy fast loading (it even weird when you can no longer distinguish local for server), that it would be actually quite enjoyable coding experience has it's suddently is just 50% of the work and that the rendering of web pages in terminal browsers is actually really nice.
It seems possible to achieve this today with Content-Security-Policy and Feature-Policy[1].

However, even without the help of those headers, one could also have some discipline (perhaps also respect for users) and refrain from putting tracking and other undesirable things onto their website.

This doesn't seem to be a technical problem, so a technical solution - especially an opt-in one - probably won't help.

I’m not a scientist but I simply can’t imagine that vaping a full JUUL cartridge and smoking a pack of cigarettes is even remotely the same.
No, that would probably irritate people, which is why people are gnashing their teeth at the thought of Whatsapp having ads. Having companies invade private conversations isn't just creepy, it's infuriating.

Your analogy doesn't fit to twitter though because this guy isn't having a private conversation; he's broadcasting his opinions publicly to the world. Imagine someone with a megaphone in an outdoor mall shouting about how shitty a company is. People would probably love the idea of a rival from another company engaging with that guy and saying "yeah, they suck, that's why I started this company, check us out." I doubt many people would find it creepy.
As we know, the path of a photon can be bent by a large mass with gravity.

Okay: Pass a photon, or electron, or other particle, through a beam splitter and, thus, get its wave function in two parts.

Then the question seems to be, do the parts also get bent by gravity? Is there any doubt they won't.

For a particle with mass, surely it has gravity. So, the two parts of its wave function no longer have gravity -- is that the question she is asking? Maybe depending on the beam splitter, the two parts of the wave function have 60% and 40% of the gravity of the whole particle?

Get a lot of particles, say, neutrons, that do feel and generate gravity and run them through a beam splitter. Bunch #1 goes north and bunch #2 goes east. So far they still generate gravity? Some miles away from the beam splitter we put detectors, one for each bunch. With a 50%-50% beam splitter, with the law of large numbers, we detect 50% of the particles at each detector. That is, each detector gets a part of the wave function for ALL the particles but detects only half of the particles.

Suppose the detector for bunch #1 is some miles farther from the beam splitter than the detector for bunch #2. So, the wave functions for bunch #2 hit their detector before the wave functions for bunch #1 hits their detector.

Now look at the wave functions for bunch #1: About half of those wave functions have already collapsed due to detections at the detector for bunch #2. So, the gravity generated by the remaining wave functions of bunch #1 are, from the law of large numbers, half what they would be without a detector for bunch #2. So, for bunch #1, we have had faster than speed of light communications from the detector for bunch #2 to a measurement of the gravity of bunch #1.

Yes, we can't get a gravity detector sensitive enough, but for that theory that's not important. Instead, for the bunches to generate gravity gets to be an issue anyway.
Why would you WANT fb to have correct data, as if their data mining is a good thing?
Inhaling nicotine is very harmful to your heart. Repeated doses of a stimulant can cause heart disease, and about as many smokers die from that as lung disease. With vaping, even more nicotine is delivered immediately to the system. It seems that this would have the same negative consequences on cardiac and vascular health. Why is that not more often discussed? It seems like this risk alone is enough to declare vaping to be unsafe.

The sort of people who are going to try to download some new (and somewhat dubious-sounding - "I'm going to be storing all of the content on my local machine?") are actually pretty likely not to be using a systemd distro. Getting early adopters would seem pretty crucial for this type of project, and I'm not sure where the creator imagines they're going to come from with the current passive-aggressive Linux support.

You also may want to brush up on your arithmetic.
I also try to have a wide variety of sources, hence why I asked you for your sources, since the oncce I found that argued against climate change being a threat were just weak opinions.

And you're right... I didn't play back my understanding correctly about Epstein. But all I'm saying is we could do more to accelerate and fund discovery of clean tech solutions. Oil for example gets so much more subsidies than renewable energy. We could adjust those levers, but it seems the political will isn't there.

A scientific consensus isn’t subject to a majority rule, so I don't think it's useless - scientific consensus is many different scientists from different backgrounds coming to a similar conclusion. This and meta-studies shouldn't be dismiised.

Why is 'better safe than sorry' not a useful argument? Maybe an apt analogy would be our health. Say for example a doctor says you're susceptible to a certain illness. To decrease the chances of getting that illness the doctor presents some things that have been shown to work in the past with other patients, but it hasn't been proven to work every time, because bodies are complex. I would certainly do those things to try to avoid that illness.

What I'm worried about is what if the consensus on man made climate change and its threat turn out to be true - in our lifetime sometime in this century. We don't really want to use our only habitat as a test lab to find out, because if it turns out the be true it will be too late.

That's why I think the climate models are not useless. Climate models are being used to predict crop yields for example. Yes, it's not 100% accurate but the confidence of a certain outcome is high. So those climate models that are being used to demonstrate global warming and its effect shouldn't be dismissed just because it's not verifiable.

What I'm doing is what some other people in this thread are doing, i.e. I don't consume animal products anymore, as it's not logical anymore to do and it's an ineffecient way to feed people. On top of that it's immoral, bad for the environment (cutting down forests and to have farmland, etc), bad for people working in that industry (e.g. would you want to kill and slaughter animals all day and breath in the air in a slaughterhouse?) and bad for your health (see dr neil barndard, dr greger, dr ellsworth etc). I use public transport, use my gadgets until they die or can't be repaired anymore, don't follow any fashion trends and buy higher quality clothes that lasts longer (i.e. not fast fashion).

Anyway, I think we've reached the end - usually it's better to debate these type of things face to face and this forum doesn't lend itself very well to long term debates - running out of space - almost reached the end of the right margin ;)

Thanks again for those links I'll checkout more stuff by Epstein and Lindzen and if you have any other sources or scientists who provide a counter argument then please feel free to share those.
The problem with that is that your users can always generate a key without a passphrase at all and you have no way of knowing
> (This is why I’ve always used .dev actually, although this may make me switch to .fuckgoogle or something instead)

Why not .fuckapple? Really, .local is defined for local address, if Apple is using it in a fucked up way this is an Apple problem.

.dev was never destined for local address, it was just because it wasn't registered in ICANN yet.
I was not certain that data serialization and copying is required. Is that always true? You can’t do IPC with some shared memory setup?
How to Live on 24 Hours a Day- Arnold Bennett on Living a Meaningful Life
You can treat it as a multiplexing operation. The first y[i] is computed normally. y[i+1], y[i+2] etc. are computed with a parallel form, up to as many cores as is optimal. Normally cores will wait for data, finish it very quickly, and then sit idle since they're waiting on memory, but this allows each processing core to return more results from data at a given time i without a serial readback(which introduces memory bandwidth pressure). The optimal throughput strategy is to push the parallelization upwards until the latency of doing this heavy computation outstrips the memory latency savings.
Maybe just delete and don't recreate.

"\n" : $0 "\n" ; x++}} END {lensort(arr,v); for (c in arr) {printf "%s\n",(length(arr[c]) > 0) ? arr[c] : ""}}' ${a}
done

Why do you have to use either one of those?

If you're already running your own internal DNS servers (to serve .dev, .test, etc.) , then just buy a domain for your org for internal use (e.g. "<mycompany>-internal.<tld>" or "<mycompany>-private.<tld>", or if your company is "<mycompany>.com" then purchasing "<mycompany>.net" or similar), split-horizon so that queries from the Internet direct to some CDN-hosted static page saying "nothing to see here, internal use only, if you are an employee please VPN in" and internally you find the actual services.

You never run the danger of your internal domain being unroutable (since you indisputably own it), none of the stuff on subdomains of your internal domain are internet-discoverable (since none of the internal services are exposed externally), you retain the flexibility of eventually making internal services Internet-routable when you get around to building out a BeyondCorp model (if you ever do), and it probably costs a negligible <$10/year in registration fees.
I'm in favour of this trend for this very reason. One should never implicitly assume you know it's the company you expect in any case.
Yes, I should’ve said UNIX-philosophy or something... what I said was pretty ambiguous. I meant UNIX-style in terms of single purpose tools that work together over a common bus without being tightly coupled.

I spoke to a number of researchers several years ago before vaping really became so mainstream.

To be honest a number had a rather surprising view: if it has nicotine in it then it must be bad.

I formed my own opinion back then: the researchers did not seem that inretested in the effects of vaping and preferred to instead just associate it with cigarettes.

This article talks about us not knowing the long term effects (which is true) but then goes on to regulating vaping. Why not advocate for more research instead?

I don’t think vaping is without side effects but it’s my personal view and I have no scientific basis for it. But we should be doing more research before we clamp down on it.
That's plain incompetency. Similar incompetency at latimes.
Because most of the cardiovascular risks of smoking aren't related to nicotine.
Which part isn't correct? What op described sounds like a good and easy way to do it (as long as you have sane retention periods) and doesn't seem to conflict with the article you linked in any way (in fact, they agree).
A stereo audio file only has two channels, mixed from any number of sources: L+R. This described process essentially converts the track (we'll call X) to mid/side (M/S) form, which is used by some microphones and other outboard equipment. We're exploiting properties of both forms of the audio to produce our isolated center.

Also if you have the removed data all you have to do is invert it and sum it against hte original material and it will cancel out

I described it slightly incorrectly in the original post but I have used this process to extract vocals for remixing

The first inversion produces one channel containing nothing but stereo data, as you're summing L+Ri to produce S -- the center channel data (technically, anything equivalent in both stereo channels) cancelled itself out. (Note that if you combine L+Ri you should get a zero-ed out waveform)

The second inversion, produced by combining the first inversion (Ri) and the original source converted to mono (L+R), produces the isolated center channel (M). It works because you are essentially only cancelling out stereo data you generated in the first inversion

If you don't believe me, load up a copy of Audacity or Sound Forge and try it. (Note the music needs to be uncompressed) One track this works with is the original mix of "Day n Nite" by "Kid Cudi" if you can find a WAV copy somewhere. It doesn't work with a lot of music

So...

L, R = stereo_split(X)

Ri = inverse(R)

S = L+Ri

Si = inverse(S)

M = Si+(L+R)

Note: L+Ri should result in empty waveform
> Some things are very wonky with the experiment:

Thank you for taking the time to read this study. We do not think we claimed anything that was false in this study (although the scope might not be as wide as some would expect or desire); this is not a reason to be dismissive. We have ourselves a lot of respect for the work done at Brave.

> Brave is intentionally slow on parsing and do as much work there because it doesn't parse from client code, it only use already parsed lists from memory.

That was indeed one of the things measured, but not the most important one. In fact we explicitly say that this is a one time operation and does not necessarily matter, especially if as you suggest you can perform this work backend-side and ship the serialized version to clients. What is more interesting is the time it takes for matching requests.

> "The memory usage of Brave could not be evaluated using the devtools and thus is not included in this section." That doesn't make sense, I wonder if it's maybe using a very old version based on the old muon code base? If you can get the memory from Chrome you can get it from Brave.

If we got this thing wrong we would be very happy to update the results with the correct measurements. The version we used was the latest version from `master` on the following repository: https://github.com/brave/ad-block

> No information was given about versions that were tested.

This is indeed unfortunate and we will be correcting this. The measurements were performed last week with the latest version of each projects but we should definitely indicate the exact version used.

> Total parsed rules is too small.

Too small for what exactly? Easylist is one of the most popular lists and it's pretty common to use it as a base-line for comparison. It is trivial to re-run the experiment with different lists given that all the code is open-source.
Yes, and that's why it's called "scuttlebutt".
Because controlling the conditions of your work is more than just a paycheck. Especially for tech workers whose work has a transformative impact on society. If you've ever been pressured into doing something unethical, that is a perfectly good rationale for forming a union.

It's open source - I would just take a look at the code.

I'm unsure how it is determined but when I asked my .app registrar they said it should be $120/year for each renewal, which was less than I paid to register it. Guess I'll find out.

I believe in the original .app launch thread on HN they stated that premium domain pricing was based on machine learning. So...who knows.
Interesting, could you link some research where I can dig in more? I have read that nicotine itself is not harmful, about on par with caffeine. I’m interested in reading more about the risk of inhaling it.
Of course degree matters. Healthy and Unhealthy are not binary categories.

Both alcohol and meth are harmful to health, but the degree makes one manageable and the other not.
Obviously? Dosage makes the poison.

It's not questionable patties, it's ones which did not get used in time for a burger. Cooked a little too long, that probably makes them better for chili, not worse. And they are put in a warming drawer, which is a lot different than an 'unrefrigerated pan'. Also, they freeze the meat for up to 7 days, not 30+.

Honestly, that sounds perfectly fine. The best ground beef has been thoroughly browned, that's probably why people think their chili tastes so good.

Dgraph usages are quite wide-spread. It is being used for typical graph cases, like recommendation engines, real-time fraud detection, adtech, fintech uses, etc.

The design is very well suited for just building apps (scalable, flexible schema) as well, given the early choices to use GraphQL (modified) as the query lang and JSON as the response. So, we see even Fortune 500 companies using Dgraph to build mobile apps.

Most open source users use the simplest 2-node cluster, but we easily see enterprise customers use 6-node (High Availability) cluster or 12-node cluster (HA + Sharding). Given synchronous replication, query throughput can scale out linearly as you add more replicas/machines (each replica can reply without worrying about issues with typical eventual consistency models. Dgraph provides linearizable reads).

Write throughput wise, Dgraph can sustain XXX,XXX records/sec in the live path (and millions in the offline path). See my recent commit: https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/commit/b7189935e6ec93aec...

> about as many smokers die from that as lung disease

Heart disease is the leading killer in the US. Are you saying the number of excess deaths among smokers (over the baseline in the non-smoking population) is roughly equally distributed between heart disease and lung disease? Can you give a cite?
Can you cite any sources for this? AFAIK nicotine is not too different from caffeine as far as stimulants go. It’s demonized due to cigarettes.
Why is this such a popular story ? There’s literally hundreds of new gTLDs and they get released all the time.

If you have the ability to set the doctype of a page, don't you also already have the ability to not load thirdparty content?
Cool, that’s basically exactly how I expected it to work.

Even if you disable the badlist, you’d have to work hard to sync bad content that you don’t already have, since most normal clients would not share it.
The fact you have the private key permits access, not possession of the public key even though the public key is the one you add to the file on the server side (asymmetric cryptography). The "secure way" may also suggest that you have to keep your public key secret which is not true.

Yes, it matters because the government has an interest in improving the public health. When you reduce access to vaping that decreases the number of vapers and increases the number of smokers. So the relative risks of each are important in deciding how much you want to promote/restrict access to vaping.

If vaping is just as bad as cigarettes than you probably want to make vaping really expensive and hard to get. If it's completely risk free you'd want to subsidize vaping and make sure it's available at every store. The best evidence looks like it's 5%-10% as deadly as smoking which means we probably don't want to restrict it too much.
