>How can a PiHole be shut down or allow access to a site? It's trivially easy on Firefox...

>Edit: it seems there's a fully featured web interface, so I'll definitely be taking a closer look at this. Thanks for the recommendation!

Correct! When logged into the interface, you can easily disable blocking with one click, for a set amount of time. FWIW, I sourced multiple public blacklists/whitelists, and did as much research as I could ahead of time to research devices I routinely have on my network vs any issues PiHole might have with them, and was sure to add any necessary sites to the whitelist when I first set them up. It was really easy for me and I've had zero issues since (YMMV).

NIMBYs stop it because they “don’t want the feel of the city to change”. That is the excuse I’ve heard in Mountain View and Palo Alto to shoot down any high density apartments.
The Freakonomics guys found that "when real estate agents sell their own homes, they tend to keep them on the market longer (about 10 days) and get a higher sale price (by about 3%) than when they sell homes for their clients."

an MS in CS has limited value in the US, unless you need it for visa purposes.

As an example, in 2013 Amazon was only offering an additional $5k salary IIRC for new grads with an MS.
Sure, thanks for the thoughtful response.

I agree that being practical is hard. It makes me think that the "leap of faith" isn't the belief in God's greatness and that we each have a bit of it, but actually treating others as valuable as God would consider them. Some rare individuals practice a radical forgiveness which attests to the authenticity of their faith or principles, but certainly these stand out because they are so incredibly rare.

What you mentioned, about the thinking that there are those beyond repair, who have caused so much destruction that they seem to have lost all of the image of God that they were created with–I can sympathize with that, too. If someone takes the image of God and commits evil (especially when it's irreversible like death or trauma), that is certainly negative value. That would deserve eternal punishment, while which is something that is also hard to understand practically, seems helpful here.

An interesting way to put it would be that God exists as the ideal, and while people aspire to any number of ideals, they resort to living "practically" since they are not "actually" God, but just in his image.

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse. I appreciate defining or at least contextualizing and framing things, too. Talking with you has helped me articulate my own beliefs better as well. Thanks.
One example that comes to mind is that you use an extension library that has Windows binaries available out of the box for x86 but not for x64.

Only one reason: Greed

Homeowners want to see their investment appreciate, plain and simple, and will do anything and make up any justification to impede development so as to reduce supply and increase home values. Pretty much any argument, any rule, that restricts housing ("ruining neighborhood character", "affecting the historic value of the neighborhood", and in almost all cases, "environmental impact") can be understood if seen through the prism of selfishness. Never mind that people's lives are more important than obtuse feelings of 'neighborhood character', and never mind that the reason the shitty silicon valley house you bought in the 70s is worth millions only because of the blood, sweat and tears of all the people who came here and started companies and built things.

As you can probably guess, I'm pretty disillusioned at probably not ever being able to ever afford a place to live in the place I call home. (And I'm a relatively well paid engineer, others have it much worse).
I came cross this book some time in 1991 or 1992, growing up in a developing country. Not having access to or being able to afford Playboy or Hustler, it was popular among my early teenage friends because of the explicit pictures of the female anatomy!

Sure, you can describe it in a technically correct way, maybe even provide an analogy, but what you can't provide is the context for understanding the experience of seeing the rainbow.
Fewer tabs running in more processes reduces the likelihood of OOM crashes, increases security (because less likely a security vulnerability will allow JavaScript on one page to read memory from another page in the same process), and might improve responsiveness because Firefox can lower the OS priority of processes that only contain background tabs.
That would suck because you're paying the consequences (money and thermal) of that mac form factor but you're still gonna have a big ugly mess on your desk.
The perception of time depends highly of what you are doing.

You could separate easily semester because you probably took totally different courses so they were easy to distinguish, now that you have settled and that you are doing mostly the same things every semester, all is blurred. This is totally normal and how the brain works.

One solution would be to change job every semester, but it might not be the ideal solution for other reasons.
One of the biggest reasons to install windows is gaming. If this takes off (or enough games are released on linux as a byproduct) linux could gain a larger install share.
There is a point in the come-down from LSD where pot is actively contraindicated. The ... for lack of a better word "slope" of the fading LSD experience coupled with the short-term memory inhibition of pot can cause people to get stuck in a loop where they forget they're tripping, are reminded of that by an altered perception, and then experience increasing anxiety with each cycle of the loop over when it's ever going to end.

Not saying that's what happened to you, or anything like it, but the general wisdom in the psychonaut world is "don't mix things unless you know what you're doing".

EDIT: Phrasing
You're right that the list price is too high for individuals in developing countries to easily purchase. I believe the model is for a community clinic to purchase a copy, or for individuals to pool their money to buy a copy for their community. NGOs give away copies as well, with bulk purchases of the book being discounted.
This is effectively a price increase and a good move for the future of Patreon. This is a fat cat capitalist opinion but they should increase the cut for all existing customers too. Grandfathering is a nice gesture but the additional revenue generated from applying this change their current customers would allow Patreon to grow faster and roll out new benefits to all customers.
True! That really sucks.

I was thinking something like a browser could allow audio in response to, say, a push notification (akin to how they allow popups to be created after user click events) but that'd be easily gameable for the situation you describe. There's no way a browser can distinguish between a legitimate message from a human and robospam.

Thanks for the clarification.
Reposting from the other thread:

Slowly but surely the creative potential of the web is eroded until nothing is left but plain text and ads, to thunderous applause. Gross overreaction after gross overreaction and now we're in a state where extensions are a shallow husk of their former glory, you need to jump through legally vague ridiculous hoops to do anything involving user data, a vast trove of great Flash content is no longer accessible to the average user, web apps with sound and video aren't allowed to work seamlessly without an obnoxious "click here to let the webpage do what it should be able to do anyway" button, and various other unnecessary restrictions. How soon until it's the default that you need to give a website permission to display images and you need a license to make a webpage? That's the direction it feels like we're heading in. I'm saddened that the golden age of the web is probably behind me, but at least I was alive for it.

I LIVE in high density California where we are stuck in traffic for hours because we keep building multi story homes with NO infrastructure..NO public transport and a zillion school kids crammed in public schools where they have to choose between having lunch or standing in line to use the restroom.

The STATE does nothing to deal with infrastructure and just keeps building in expensive and dense parts of the state.

I am living INSIDE the nightmare.
So, I work in the games industry and I don't think this will be successful. This has been tried before (multiple times), gamers haven't wanted streaming services. PC gamers already have Steam and this doesn't offer anything compelling over using Steam, and more casual gamers are playing on Ps4 or Switch or mobile. Also, the hardcore PC gamers are never going to accept the latency associated with playing on remote servers.

Google isn't a name that people associate with gaming or gamers, buit they do have a name associated with dropping products after a year or two. I wouldn't trust Google to still be supporting "Stadia" in 5 years time, whereas I do know Steam will still be there.

Also, Google's reputation for "do no evil" has been rapidly eroded in recent times and people are more and more wary about giving this company any more personal data than they already do. Contrast this with Steam, a private company that gamers trust with their data.

I think Google is once again reaching here into a space too late and without anything really compelling to make people switch away from existing Xbox/Windows/Steam ecosystems.

Edit: One other additional aspect to this: it doesn't really matter how fast Google's servers can stream the data, most people's ISPs do not have great consistent connections. Hell, I have Google Fibre at home and occasionally I get issues streaming 1080p Netflix (stuttering etc). Most people have services with bandwidth caps and do not get consistent enough speeds to support streaming games. At my parent's house in the UK, the situation is even worse with lower caps and very often there are disruptions in the connection and so the Netflix stream will turn into a blocky mess for 10 seconds or so.
Avoiding the major roads/popular routes is an effective means of avoiding these types of problems. The criminals aren't interested in setting up an overnight road-block robbery/car-jacking where zero wealthy targets pass through.

I also think people in general tend to disproportionately exaggerate risks relative to the actual probabilities. Something exceptionally brazen and bad happens a few times making it into the news and now it's certain to happen to you should you go there.

Regardless though, if an alternative exists with 100% fewer reports of such problems, it's probably a safer choice relatively speaking.

But in my limited experience I have never found a "dangerous" place to be anywhere near as dangerous as its reputation described.
It's hard to get out of ones bubble on this.

From the govts view, they are acting to contain sectarian violence long enough that their society can find a stable equilibrium after a shock.

I don't think appeals to the principle of freedom of speech are meaningful against acts of censorship because it is a tactical response in a perceived crisis and not something that happens under ideal conditions where they can afford to be held to principles.

However, tactical approaches like clumsy censorship signal a deeper weakness that risks exacerbating sectarian resolve in all parties.

Cynically, the solution here may have been to rate limit content they didn't want instead of blocking it outright, which is insidious, but toward the desired outcome of defusing the spread of violence, people who want the content can get it without having to position themselves against the authorities (become outlaws) to do so, while removing it from casual observation. Reddit's quarantines, and Twitter's shadow bans mitigate some of the virality of reactions. Tagging traffic to these sites for slow path processing would have been trivial, and blocking them was an unforced error.

Societies need to respond to events like these by demonstrating unity and strength, which may mean acts of extraordinary tolerance - and not with tactical approaches that make them seem weak and vulnerable to an insurgency.

It'll continue being a problem. Housing has become the gold of California and those who have the gold don't want more of it otherwise the value drops. There is no incentive right now for California home owners to want more housing.
A lot of times face to face interaction really trumps anything over the phone. Just being able to catch someone quickly for a discussion is one of the main pain points of "remote work" where you may be on a "send chat message -> wait -> wait some more -> ok I'm going to get coffee -> rats, I missed her/him -> ..." cycle.

I think a permanent telepresence can avoid some of these issues. But it brings to fore some privacy issues where people at work have a video feed into your home (its office space - but its your home nonetheless).
A 'Rainforest' of Species Lives in Your Belly Button
I think it is because:

a. That particular area happens to have had a history of earth quakes.

b. People who already have homes, think they own the view. Also known as NIMBY.

c. Building new homes(like big apartment complexes with mass housing), would crash the market. Because many people have put in $1 million+ to buy a home. Imagine what happens when homes are suddenly available for $300K a piece. Those people will go bankrupt instantly.

d. Rent control.

> Crackdown 3 already semi-famously uses Microsoft's cloud systems to do some physics processing in the cloud and not on the client.

Is that true though? I remember in the early Don Mattrick days of Microsoft they were heavily pushing the whole cloud physics thing but ever since then that has been swept under the carpet or heavily downplayed.
Yeah i've experienced it as well.

I'd imagine a big part is that games which are written for a system like this can do some compensation if they know the latency is between controller and the system (vs games which expect the latency between the client and the server).

I'm also curious if there is anything else going on here than just "streaming video to the user", like allowing some "smearing" to compensate like how VR headsets will do some fancy stuff to compensate for head movement faster than the round trip communication time between the sensors on the headset and the PC.

In my home state at least, a sellers' agent is legally and professionally obligated to present all valid offers received to the sellers. Failure to do so can result in legal liability, fines, loss of license etc.

If your state is similar, then if you had made an offer by any means, like via the agent's voicemail and the agent didn't tell the seller about it, then you would have had cause for legal action.

Nothing in the “guidance” you provided disincentivizes large/maximum fines, or actually limits the fines from being the maximum in any way. Downvote this all you like, that won’t change what they have (or more accurately, have not) written into the law.
Oh, my experience was on Mac like the GP’s. Edited to clarify. On Windows or Linux I haven’t encountered a similar 100% CPU use problem, which has led me to suspect it’s specifically the Mac version of some plugin that’s the problem.

This is the natural effect of the passage of Proposition 13. When you cannot raise real estate taxes to keep up with inflation, residential real estate becomes a liability for governments, not an asset.

California has had to turn to business development to make up for the short fall. From an economic perspective, the government has a high demand for commercial development, and a low demand for residential development.
This is normal for any investment, why would anyone want their investment to depreciate? I also don't understand why so many people in San Francisco want to own a home. Owning a home in San Francisco is a giant pain in the ass. Everything is ridiculously expensive once you own. These homes are 100+ years old and most need updates and earthquake retrofitting (that's $100k+). You pay an obscene amount in property taxes and have to go through the city to change nearly anything. Once you do get approved you have to find a contractor and most contractors are on giant month long waits because there aren't many in the city. It's a pain, honestly I don't understand why anyone would want to buy when you can rent and be on rent control and not worry about any of these headaches.
You probably were assigned a phone number that had been used by someone else prior, so the number was already on all the lists.

Every time I get a new number, I end up spending a few weeks getting calls from real people to the person who had the number before it was assigned to me.

There are many reasons some people do not prefer urban areas: aesthetics, crime, pollution, homelessness, noise.

And many people in SF (especially if they have lived their a while; i.e. property owners) are not thrilled that their home is changing.

Maybe, but I expect you'd rarely ever see it due to the personal element. Podcasts are similarly valuable once they have a regular roster of advertisers but you almost never see them getting bought/sold because they're too associated with the hosts.
Developer Viewpoint – Experiences and Thoughts on JavaScript
I'm always interested when it comes up, especially when I see info on its progress for usability on non-Apple systems, but the last time I remember seeing info on that (multiple months ago, admittedly) was that it was coming along, but there wasn't quite parity with the Apple ecosystem and some (core?) libraries were different/not as good?

The impression I got (from comments of here trying to use it) was sort of an early Mono .NET type of situation (maybe not that forked, but still). It's hard to put any effort behind learning a language when it feels like you would be a second class user. I spent way too much time and effort being the guy trying out the experimental Linux support for projects inthe late 90's early 2000's, and I have less time now, so my explorations need to be a bit more directed.

It came down to Swift or Rust for learning a new language a while back for me, and I picked Rust for the reasons above. I've yet to do anything with it (and I'll have to brush up on it yet again when I do), but at least I don't feel like I'm getting second class support from the language.

I wouldn't mind being mistaken or having this already been addressed and Swift's port to other systems is at parity with Apple's. That would be nice. I wouldn't mind spending some extra time on it then, it does look to be an interesting language.
I haven't played it myself nor have I done a ton of research, but Crackdown 3 just came out recently, and I heard them talking about how important the cloud aspect of it is to enable the dynamic destruction they have in their multiplayer stuff.

Moving Towards a Cashless Society in a Cash-Reliant World
I am a NIMBY. I don’t want overcrowding when there is so much space in California but everyone insists on building on small patches of land where we are prisoners inside our neighbourhood ...why not in other sprawling regions of California. But Sacramento doesn’t do it because it costs money to build roads and infrastructure and provide clean water and good jobs. Everyone complains about income equality ..how about what the state does..parts of California doesn’t even have clean drinking water and rural areas don’t have connectivity ...of course everyone wants to get out and come to LA or bay area where it’s all better.

But the tragedy of the commons is that the system becomes over burdened. It will collapse.
