You'd have to show her how to login to the web GUI and temporarily disable it I think, but I wonder if it's the use case.

If you're enabling ad filtering on the DNS level on your router, its more along the lines of forced ad filtering on your entire network, so you're kind of sacrificing user configurability for global ad filtering on your network.

Personally, I've only had the experience of a broken webpage once in two and a half years of using it.

A key benefit of the proposed approach is that such systems can be additively fabricated as embedded parts of microarchitected metamaterials that are capable of interacting mechanically with their surrounding environment while processing and storing digital data internally without requiring electric power.

The Diamond Age is upon us.
>What happens after we die? You stop being. The conscious experience of it is the same as before you were born, i.e. nothing.

You simply began existing once. What's to say that you won't just as easily begin existing again, or that you haven't already existed many times?
I stand corrected.

And I respect your honesty for checking other countries after proving me wrong...
That's misleading -- yes, in the aggregate, gas taxes cover only part of the expenses, but that's not because of personal cars. Damage on the roads -- and thus maintenance costs -- scales with the 4th power of weight per axle. So the damage is virtually all from large trucks, with sedans and SUVs as a rounding error.

If you were to apportion out the maintenance cost due to personal cars, they are overpaying.
Franchise fees also benefits the taxi companies. It constrains the supply to taxis, thus shielding the taxi companies from potential competition. They're paying for protection from competition.
Very happy to see the holo lens improving. I'm hoping this can bring a growth in labour jobs which require technical skill for individuals who do not have any high-level training (e.g. electricians or mechanics). From a safety perspective, there is a lot that can be learned in envirnments like power plants, oil refineries or factories.
There is a huge amount of info out there these days. Patients often know more about their own condition than most doctors they will meet.

If you have never fasted before, you need to read up on fasting. If you want to make dietary changes, you read up on lots of dietary stuff. Etc.

If you have a specific diagnosis, you can read up on the latest research into that, plus related stuff. For example, I read stuff about genetics and the gut biome because that helps me put things into context.

You do a thing and something happens. You note it and try to figure out what the process is. Was it random? Was it coincidence? Was it causative? If so, how? You build from there.
Yes - I take it more as a purpose/meaning type of subject. I believe that our purpose is to advance technology, mostly by playing god and creating intelligent systems that will far surpass humans - hopefully we can merge with that intelligent system that we create.

In addition to that, I think its our purpose to advance and expand throughout the universe for as long as we can do it. We will likely face extermination by that intelligent system or merge with it. I think its more important to evolve that system.

When I typed a "fools purpose" I mostly mean its meaningless in the scheme of things to devote all this worry, concern, everything surrounding a warming home planet. Yes, there are scientifically concerning results that it could be devastating. But I highly doubt that humanity will not adapt to whatever changes come that way, life on the planet can be re-engineered, created, modified.

Though your point of, hypothetically, will a warming climate end the potential of what I've said? As long as we can create energy, then no I doubt it.
> You're using 20-20 hindsight.

No, I’m not.

Obviously, the victim won't often be able to tell with any certainty (except with some idea after the fact) whether it was attempted murder.

That the difference may be hard to perceive from a particular viewer's perspective doesn't mean that the difference doesn't exist.
You are correct, I was sloppy writing that and apologize.

Growing up, I learned that Czechoslovakia was part of the "Eastern Bloc" and we were never taught much about the individual countries and their peoples.
Moving there taught me a lot more about the country and its neighbors' history and culture, and also my own culture.

Although I'm not sure about "Central Europe".
Implement congestion pricing for all drivers.
What about public transport?
To give a serious answer: first you would need some prediction about how it could be useful or healthy, then you would have to check whether this prediction is satisfied in animals or in similar cases.

Here enters the remark about being commonly predicted in the millennia is weakly relevant as it might suggest that we somehow evolved to accommodate this type of diet (obviously this is not a sound argument in general eg anti-vaxxers), self flagellation does not match this criteria as it was not that common and only for very little time.

For example maybe the skin repairing process produce proteins that also lower stress.

Then, most important phase, you should check whether it can be dangerous.

I would guess that there are 0 scientific papers affirming positive effects of self flagellation.
Their headphone reviews are top notch too. They do actual measurements on them to determine how they actually perform rather than some reviewer spewing garbage about how the sound stage is so warm.
I spent over four years as an engineer at the Wikimedia Foundation, which trained me to expect the double-take most people do when they hear the name for the first time. They either think they misheard you, or worse: they think you represent a knock-off entity that is trading on a misleading brand similarity, and they squint at you with suspicion. It's as if you told them you work at "AmaZone". So you can immediately forget about any bragging rights. The conversation has barely started and you are already at a trust deficit.

It's almost worse when the other party has heard of Wikimedia, because then your (by-now rehearsed) introduction comes across as wooden and weirdly defensive.

And if you think all that is bad... the annual conference for the Wikimedia community is called Wikimania. Try explaining that to passport control.
This is a very bad solution, especially as share rides decrease the number of cars when people use uber pool
I appreciate your candor, but these are a lot of negative generalizations, and I hope they haven't resulted in any applicants being prejudged.

I don't have enough data to discuss "as you 'turn the knob down', you encounter more and more of these issues", so I'd just like to suggest a few related ideas:

* It's certainly possible to also make some negative generalizations of people with various kinds of socioeconomic advantage. For every imagined "f_ck it" person, by class, there's an imagined person who's accustomed to things going their way, or an imagined person who is very selfish and disingenuous. But it's not fair to prejudge individuals by those generalizations, no matter how valid or invalid.

* When someone makes it to our environment (whatever that is) despite a relatively lower-class or otherwise disadvantaged starting point, that might suggest traits and experience valuable to the organization.

* If the organization values creative ideas and a breadth of awarenesses/perspectives, that seems like a strong argument for hiring a diversity of people. (Not the same clique from the affluent prep school one went to, to use an extreme example.)

* In society in general, we're still trying to figure out how to get along, and to have mutual respect and support with people whose situations we don't understand. For an organization that values getting to a better understanding (for, e.g., understanding users or market demographics, or some sense of greater social mission), what better way than to welcome into the organization a diversity of people, including ones who don't yet know all the conventions for what's an appropriate joke to make at lunch, or who don't have the same fun hobbies to talk about on Monday.
Great to see you’re still at this Jay, I remember the original post from a year or so ago, very nice work!

There’s a simple pause button on the web interface. I bookmarked it on my wife's phone and showed her how to disable and she's had no trouble since. At first she was skeptical about the pi-hole but after seeing the difference it made, she's totally on board. We don't need to disable it often though, maybe once every month or two.
Hackers Can Slip Invisible Malware into 'Bare Metal' Cloud Computers
Most states have laws on the books that forbid you from calling your business a "bank," "pharmacy," or other restricted business unless it actually is. Simply doing so is enough to trigger regulatory intervention. I'm really surprised that they are advertising their services as the "Hacker Club Bank."

Then I finally saw a disclaimer at the bottom of one of the pages: "Hack Club does not directly provide banking services. Banking services provided by Silicon Valley Bank, an FDIC-certified institution."

Seems a little sleazy to me, but still, a neat service.
Also vendors buying UPC codes off eBay. Ends up getting merged because surprise, those “unique” codes are not so unique. Amazon needs a better system for that.
I've been running an instance of this on a DigitalOcean VM for a couple of years now. Keeping my instance external is nice so I can use it from home, work, and for friends and family, with all of my devices. Fantastic project, highly recommended.
A look at the author’s past stories is pretty enlightening—it looks like Bloomberg hired him to do nothing but write anti-ruling-party stories on the Venezuela beat for the last four (!) years
The American public is unbelievably misinformed. Public opposition to an idea indicates only how much cable TV the public has been watching recently and says little about the merits of the idea. Just as an example of such a thing, the median survey respondent believes that foreign aid is the largest component of federal spending, and the overwhelming majority are against increasing it. However when those same people are informed that foreign aid is among the smallest parts of federal spending and that the USA is by far last among rich countries in per-capita and per-GDP aid those same people in the same survey at the same moment largely change their minds.
Those aren't the same thing. Someone isn't accidentally a pedophile, or becomes a pedophile because of some mistake they made once, etc. There really isn't a way for a prison to change what their sexual preferences are, so the list makes sense. But felony convictions for crimes of necessity, passion, or lack of opportunity? Those are categorically different things.

(Of course, before someone jumps in, there are a bunch of people who end up on the list that don't deserve to be there because of backwards laws on the books or excessively aggressive prosecutors. But I'm speaking to the idea behind the law here.)
Weather forecasting is not a small program, NOAA & NWS are both pretty big, but they're not the largest.

Actually, scratch that. On the scale of government, they're more medium size.

I bought the Pi-Hole kit for ~$US100 but was never able to get it to work properly with SSL/TLS sites despite some (admittedly cursory) Googling. It's a great idea in theory.

This looks good - it's great to see development in the CSP space since it's such as great yet not widely used feature.

I've also made something on the same lines as this, although not as a complete tool like yours. Essentially I have a default policy for my site, but I can manually override individual directives on a per-page basis. I called it 'CSP Extreme': https://www.jamieweb.net/blog/taking-content-security-policy...
One-star reviews and the date the item was posted on Amazon are my go-to.
I also have some fancy balsamic aged 30+ years in this small town in Italy where I bought it at a food expo in Florence blhablhab... and it's AMAZING. And really expensive (like 80+ euros for the tiny thing). But it's also so thick you'd never use it the way you'd use most balsamics. There's a huge range in how balsamic can taste, and I believe you generally get what you pay for here.

The nice soy sauce is a bit more of diminishing returns for me personally.
The environment similarities of javascript and Basic are important to note. If I started up an Apple X (without a disk), I would have access to an environment where I could run code.
Javascript is accessible from my (ubiquitous) browser today. This seems to be an important factor in first language selection.

The symbols used in javascript () {} [] and spreading it among multiple files are are a major cognitive barrier. Basic was barely approachable by non-techies because it seemed closer to a word processor, at a glance. PHP, ironically, was more similar to Basic if you knew something about FTP and weren't scared of lots and lots of dollar symbols.

GET PYTHON ON THE BROWSER and it will become the first language for at least a generation.
> If we look at US numbers that actually not the case. As I wrote in an other comment, between 1940 and 1970 it doubled from around 25% to around 50%, but from 1970 to 2017 it only went up to current 55%. It actually went down from 2000 which topped at 59%.

Using the data source provided from the post I replied to (table P-36) the number of full time, year-round workers looks like this:

Men: 36.1M (1970) => 66.4M (2017) increase of 84%

Women: 15.5M (1970) => 44.4M (2017) increase of 186%

So within this group we went from ~30% female to ~40% female and I would venture that the types of employment accessible to women in this time frame has also expanded quite a bit, though I have no immediate data handy to back this up.

Without digging into your numbers, I suspect they may come from total labor force participation which is a notably different metric.
I have mixed feelings about Apollo and GraphQL in general.

To go from mature backend frameworks with autogenerated REST APIs to manually writing a lot of boilerplate code just to get a _basic_ GraphQL API running is frustrating. Part of the blame goes to the marketing of GraphQL. For example, the tagline on graphql.org is "Describe your data | Ask for what you want | Get predictable results". That's all well and good, but it leaves out the large majority of the work you have to do. This describes the schema, the query, and the result; but what about all the resolver code you have to write? That's the painful part of the whole process, especially when you get to the point of writing field-level resolvers and integrating child objects (DataLoader, etc.).

And then on the frontend, Apollo is preaching for us to write client-side queries AND client-side resolvers to fetch data that's _already in the cache_. All of this just to read, for example, a single primitive value? This is just too much.

Have a clear, convincing response for the top 'climate denier' arguments. For experimental evidence, provide all the data in an easily accessible form, explain how to reproduce the compelling results, and provide the software to do so. Also address possible deficiencies in the data and the modeling techniques.
DoTLS and DoHTTPS can be intercepted on your own devices by adding a privately generated certificate to your root store and MITMing the traffic. By design this is the only way to filter this traffic based on content.

Regardless name resolution based ad blocking is relatively futile against even naive workarounds. For instance what is to stop someone from using a custom DoHTTPS format on any webpage to resolve the name directly in browser? What's to prevent them from obfuscating it in a way your MITM couldn't realistically detect?

In the end ad blocking is best done directly on the client through something like uBlock Origin. Not only does this allow you to create a network request block list (now with the added capability of reading/filtering on the whole URI) but it also allows for style based blocks where the ad content could even be blocked if it comes from the same server and resources serving the actual page.
> USB 3.2 has the same connector as USB-C

USB-C is a connector, so you cannot say "has the same connector as USB-C".

It is the only connector for USB 3.2, and a connector that is compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 2.

Edit: I meant it is the only connector for USB 3.2 "Gen 2x2", and compatible with 3.1 Gen 2 (now called 3.2 Gen 2)
If you believe that Uber and Lyft are decreasing the number of cars on the road, then taxing them to "free up congested roads" is misguided, as it will have exactly the opposite effect.
Does anyone just use these websites for meal ideas and just go shopping on their own?

My issue is finding a good recipe which also doesn't have 15 separate ingredients to buy - these companies I'd imagine would try to have as little ingredients as possible - and have similarities that picking a few recipes means you already have crossovers.

Most recipes I see are sometimes way too much trouble or take too long to prepare (sometimes overnight!) - I thought I'd be okay eating the same thing but when you're living with others and cooking together you want some variety.
Possibly an idea promoted by breakfast cereal manufacturers. Dietary recommendations are corrupted by industry.
I have a wiki page full of practical things here: http://wiki.secretgeek.net/practical-things-you-can-do-for-t...

...even though they are not specifically for programmers. (A programmer mindset can help with many of those things.)
Doesn’t matter, won’t solve anything. The fake reviewers will email people and tell them to buy the product and they’ll be reimbursed. I’ve gotten a few emails asking me to do this (would never of course). They even explicitly mention that you need to buy it so it gets a verified tag. They’re not even trying to hide the scam anymore, Amazon doesn’t care.
I integrate German, French, English and Dutch from the start.

They are all languages used in Belgium, English as a developer.

I've gotten it pretty productive. My database doesn't require extra tables and it's fully customizable per client ( 1 extra table). Because my clients, also want to label things differently according to their use-case. I control the translations ( the default and custom ones). As long as it's logical. I agree. I stop them when they don't use general words and try to create another use-case for it. That would break the app functionality or changes expectations ( eg. Stupid example: Label Completed as invoiced because that's their end state of a ticket). Then they need to adjust to the application workflow.

I have custom parsers for languages stored in the database ( description is a multilingual column in the database for example).

According to what I know, I'm the only person I've met who goes that deep from the start. And I have real advantages with it, as long as it's an application that "my clients" own clients use. Language doesn't stop and culture, but it's also niche and even "company behavior" related.

For integrating multiple languages...

If you live in America, it's an after thought.

If you live in Belgium, it's the first thing you run into.

If you're an SMB, you need to go deeper to differentiate.

To me, the title only makes sense to me when you're mother tongue is a dominant language in the world ( reach for the stars).

What I haven't run into yet is right-to-left and Arabic, Chinese,.. ( non Latin based languages) currently.

Using USD, pounds and EUR is handled within the frameworks I use. Dot Net uses it extensively and yes, I use resx files ( which I don't like a lot, but I've wrapped them and use them as default translations of a language, clients can adjust them).

I don't need translators in the start. I can handle French, Dutch, English myselve mostly. My German isn't very good though.. ( which sucks because of the title here :p )

Ps. Yes, Changing translations is billable per hour.
Are there studies for how these measure up in practice? Also curious about wear per weight characteristics between concrete and asphalt.
The author's words were that the sale of fake data was "like a Ponzi scheme" in the sense that it is a crime.

The author makes no mention of any factual similarities.

The author is suggesting there are legal similarities: both are criminal fraud. He suggests that those committing fraud on investors are "locked up" and insinuates those committing fraud on advertisers are not.

The author were "[i]f this happened in the financial industry..."

If what happened? Sales of ad data? No. Fraud.

The author is not suggesting that deceiving purchasers of location data is factually similar to deceiving purchasers of investments.

The author is suggesting they are both fraud, i.e. legally similar. Both are intentional deception by a seller on which a purchaser relies. Fraud.

The difference the author sees is that those who commit fraud on investors are incarcerated and those who commit fraud on advertisers are not.

Maybe the author was just trying to cite a well-known, real world example of fraud (intentional deception by seller upon which buyer relies) where the perpetrator was incarcerated. In that case, the example he picked makes sense.
This seems great in theory but I can’t help but think the phishing scam would evolve in to “your account has been hacked and your secret color discovered. Click here to login and set a new secret color.”

Also, let’s suppose a database of users and their associated color is compromised but that the intrusion is not immediately detected. This allows scammers to craft emails with the right color of banner leading to “but the email has the right color at the top so it can’t be a phishing scam” logic.

It may just shift the problem.
>> There are so many fake reviews on Amazon that the "average" stars for a product are no longer reliable indicators of quality.

There are two universes in Amazon. Recognized name brands, and unrecognized name brands.

In the recognized name brand universe, the reviews are pretty reliable.

In the unrecognized name brand universe, the reviews are not reliable. Generally speaking, with the no-name cheap stuff, you are generally getting what you pay for, irrespective of the review scores.

When I did incentivized reviews (stopped after rule change), I always gave a score based on value for the price. Four stars for a $20 pair of headphones should not be the same as four stars for a $300 pair of headphones, because the expectations for quality should be much different at the higher price point.

Generally speaking, though, the vast majority of the no-name stuff I got was pretty good for their selling price (but I was also picky about what I accepted for review). At most, I only got one or two pieces of junk, and scored those products accordingly.
That's not really the view from a city budget. Cities don't have that many truck routes and their costs are dominated by maintaining streets where virtually all the traffic is light vehicles. For the state it is a bigger problem because almost all state route are truck routes.
It was phenomenally expensive then the BBC did an interesting history of sweetmaking though history.
You say conservative, I say violates terms and conditions.
Does it make sense to make it run on a small virtual server box?
I don't think there was ever a USB spec that allowed you to skip the data lines. That is purely a chinese cost optimization. Meanwhile, the confusion with USB 3 (C?) is designed in.
