True :(

Here's an idea. Use a service that generates phone numbers that redirect to your actual phone number. Maybe Twilio. Just as some do with email addresses.

Create a new number for each use. For each family member and friend. For each site registration. For each whatever.

Have an app that searches periodically online for all of those numbers. If any of them show up linked to Facebook, or whatever else concerns you, nuke them. And maybe ping whoever/whatever got that number with an admonition, saying that they're no longer a trusted contact.

That would be extreme, I know. And you'd need to cut some slack for close family, your employer, etc.

But would it be doable?

There are actually US states that don’t allow commercial bail, so the data for that should be available. You have to control for other factors, but there are fewer of those between states than between countries.

I don’t think many people even in the US understand the commercial bail bond system, and many people only learn about it from biased sources advocating to repeal it. It is a bit of a legal idiosyncrasy particular to the US.

Thank you once again.
I also use tabs as a way to park a series of items for later consideration. It sounds like we really need a stack or queue for links (or we're treating the tab bar as that). But the tab bar eats up resources (UI real estate if not memory).

Thinking in terms of queue operations, my ideal UI would let me push tabs or links to a special bookmark folder, the queue folder.

You could use menus if you had to, but to avoid menus, there would also be a mock tab permanently open that always displayed the next page in that queue folder. I could bookmark that displayed page to save it more permanently. I could close the page, which would remove it from the queue completely. Or I could send the page to the back of the queue.

A queue folder like that would be persistent across sessions, but wouldn't load every single page on every startup.

It'd be a bit like grouping all unread tabs by default, but also constantly storing that info in a folder as a backup, and having a really easy way to pop() tabs from that folder.

I don’t think I would want to develop a censored search engine (though I’d certainly reconsider for enough money), nor do I think it’s “right” (whatever that means), but I still think that in the intetests of its shareholders, it has a moral and fiscal obligation to make as much money as possible, in perpuitity. I think this implies that Google should go into China. It’s unlikely that Google would make less net profit after entering China, the blowback isn’t impacting financials, and therefore, it’s probably the right decision to move into China.

Personally, I think censorship (all censorship, not just political) is wrong, but if I was the CEO of Google I would be forced to either resign or go into China. And since I follow the money, I probably wouldn’t resign.

I've been fixing up some ~15 year old code to compilable state and the flex/bison bugs were showing up with the flex/bison line numbers where the errors originated -- which somewhat helps but it turned out none of the errors were actually from flex/bison but because of how their API changed over the years.

I'd get some WTF compilers errors and track them down to running the output of flex through sed in a perl script to do something that it now does out of the box and didn't like being messed with, fun times...well, it actually is fun times since I'm just doing this on my own so I can play with the software.

I've got an old Porsche 996 S4, and I can't say it is a fast car. (fun around the corners, but not fast). I had V rated tires which were rated for 150mph. Not silly expensive either for that matter. I've never driven fast enough to need those tires (or even H rated for that matter) but it would irritate me to no end to know the limiter was there.
I totally agree with everything except the part where "we're the ones in charge." Popular support for things like national healthcare and time off hasn't yet made those things happen. As long as representatives take money from the rich, it's dishonest to say that regular people have a say in a republic like ours. By the rich, for the rich is more like it. Even the Supreme Court agrees. What chance does popular support have against billions of dollars spent on corruption... Oops I meant lobbying. Like there's a difference.
Something I have been intending to write whenever it bubbles up on my list of priorities is a "melting tab" extension, which would let you open a tab with a limited lifespan. The vast majority of tabs I open don't need to live more than a few seconds, until I read the content and move on. If I had a simple mechanism for spawning a short-lived tab, I could consume content this way and have it melt away after a few minutes without any bother on my part. I think this would solve most tab proliferation. If I want to recover the content the page would be in my history anyway.

Edit: oh you mean quality of Google search compared with Baidu's? Well, for one, Google does not use paid listing, and there are numerous reports that compare Google and Baidu's search quality.

I think a lot of game programmers that think this way and talk about tools and systems often don’t have a lot of artistic output themselves. That’s ultimately fine, but I think in order to be a somewhat accomplished game developer you have to somewhat give up an enthusiasm for novel programming.

> Before anyone thinks this is a Eureka anti-ad-blocking technology: Clearly you still need client-side javascript, distributed by the mediator, to ensure that the impression is actually delivered and the click is actually registered.

I don't suppose I understand why clientside JavaScript is needed here. The serverside code could simply generate a unique hash for every visitor, and include that in the campaign link. Then, server-side code on the receiving end can read this hash, record a unique hit, and monitor the user on the campaign landing page to see if a lead is generated.

This seems obvious to me, but I don't actually work in advertising. Where is the break in this system? What am I missing that allows this to be exploited, in a way that only clientside JavaScript can fix?

EDIT: In context, I've realized that my proposed solution might work for clicks, but would do nothing for tracking impressions. Hrm. I'm not really sure if that problem is solvable. Then again, I'm also not a fan of impression based ad tracking (it feels creepy) so maybe I don't mind if it remains broken.

I don't think it's that conceptually difficult to understand even for a layman.

The bare minimum understanding of web security is that authentication is the process of proving who you are (your identity). You can do it one of three ways (or a combination of them):

1. "Something you know" - Password, Background questions, etc.
2. "Something you have" - Yubikey, Smartcard, TOTP, SMS, email, etc.
3. "Something you are" - Biometrics

The reason I think it is fair to call it an AST interpreter is that there is roughly one function call for each AST node. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though -- AST interpreters are super simple and maintainable (as you have demonstrated) so if you got good performance out of one then it is great!

Wow, this is the most insane argument I have ever heard for censored search by Google in China. Arguing that Google search is some moral good that Google has a moral obligation to bestow upon the Chinese people lest their “quality life [sic]” suffer is the most laughable claim I have heard this year.

It is reasonable to argue that Google either should or shouldn’t respect Chinese laws in this area. Your line of reasoning is just way off the mark.

They've already done some pretty shady stuff. This is a case where going public might actually work the other direction.
If only it were just about cost, comprehensiveness might be a better way to look at it. I really don't want my laptop's keyboard and trackpad to require clocks to drive my clicks and keystrokes at 40Gbps, that's just going to murder batteries and bank accounts for no reason whatsoever.

So you're left with a choice in this wonderful alternative non-optional world: some expensive temperature controlled oscillator with accompanying nuclear power plant integrated into every mouse, with a dual core processor just in case the host wishes to speak mouse-over-Thunderbolt, with a 240V connector on the mouse just in case the host wants to charge from it, or mice living on a separate low throughput bus where such requirements don't exist. We had that already, it was called the 1970s-1990s, it was an even bigger mess than what we have now, and is exactly what USB's mandate is to avoid

It's not like this is a new problem to USB, it's been a tri-modal specification from the outset to cope with completely different requirements of the peripherals that were to be unified, these horrible recent complexity outcomes are just a natural extension from the early days.

It wasn't so long ago that every budget peripheral manufacturer outside of e.g. printers and mice were forced to bundle expansion cards to implement custom busses just so you could talk to their e.g. scanner. This was still the reality of things as late as 1995 or so. Here we didn't just have custom connectors on the back of the machine, but custom cards that had to be installed to implement those connectors. In the 24 years since 1995, outside of display interfaces I count only 2 major new busses to date -- Firewire and USB. That sounds like a success to me

> Source: I publicly resigned from Google over dragonfly and dedicated months of my life and income to fighting it.

Rather than fight it, wouldn't it have been more effective to try to replace it?

A couple of really smart folks with some funding can found "NotGoogle, and actually not evil."

Breaking Google's monopoly would do far more good than just taking on this single issue.
There isn't anything gray at the level of individual, straightforward morals considered in a vacuum—I think censorship is generally bad, therefore Google's decision to engage in censorship is bad.

Considered at a global scale, however, the outcomes of the collisions of interests of the many groups involved does not make this a simple issue. We have to examine, and this is not completely granular nor exhaustive list:

1. The interests of Google "the company" (execs)
2. The interests of the Chinese nation state
3. The interests of the Chinese people
4. The interests of the US nation state
5. The interests of Google employees

All of these interests intersect in interesting ways and the groups behind them may be for or against the motion. For example, Chinese citizens might be excited at the prospect of getting a higher quality search engine, even if it censors some results. The US might be interested in a broader form of censorship (no Google at all) in order to maintain some kind of global hegemony (or vice versa, to bring money into the US from a foreign market). The Chinese government may be interested in the service for different purposes than those of its citizens (tracking).

The list goes on.

I agree that the threat of a dangerous precedent is in play, but I also would like to point out that simply because a precedent was established doesn't make further applications of it inviolable, nor does it prevent an actor (e.g. Google) from breaking an agreement if they discover their tooling has been used for purposes more nefarious than basic censorship (e.g. putting people in prison camps).

There's not even anything binding Google to democratic principles nor the interests of the US nation state. We may like to think companies reflect our values as a nation, but outside of those imposed by the law, there is nothing binding them to doing so.

I'm not an advocate of the project, but I do think painting it as a simple moral question glosses over the many nuances and complexities of the issue. In some respects I find taking a reductive approach to these issues and treating them as unproblematic black/white moral questions is also dangerous, as not fully exploring the issue in its depth prevents us from seeing the potentially major effects a decision may have.
> It's imperfect, but no perfect solution exists.

Make the police and courts fully fund their externalities, period. Private companies can still compete for the responsibility of keeping tabs on and apprehending fugitives, but the state should be paying the fee.

Right now the damages caused by police are effectively paid by an absurd reverse-lottery where the unlucky victims have to bear the costs of their own false imprisonment. There is little incentive for the police to not overzealously arrest and hold people, because it gets accounted for as effectiveness rather than the waste that it is. This has been so institutionalized that police even use it as an illegitimate punishment - eg "you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride". This is not the rule of law, nor justice.
