I wonder wether the whole legal system should be restructured, with one section entitled "Human Hacking", where we could cram in all exploits of flaws by section. Drug addiction, cognitive bias con games, abusing of cognitive bias to steer politics etc.

I think a lot of these things boil down to demographics. What societies make the most dynamic changes in the shortest times? My theory is that it's ones with large-base demographic pyramids. Once you become vertical or inverted (like Japan a couple decades ago, the US and most of europe, China soon) you start to become more conservative as a society. Things change more slowly, maybe not directly in terms of politics (meaning things may not swing far right) but in terms of the actual look and feel of society.

Yes. I pay 50bucks to a youtuber per video who does not advertise, and disables them wherever possible (sometimes its forced by yt/twitch). Lots of people do not support him on patreon, but he says that the few people who pay make him more money than he would get with ads.

I would rather pay those 10$ per month or so that websites get through ads (per user), rather than getting tracked and stalked everywhere I go.

Apple iPad mini 2019 review: no competition
I guess the advertisers whose video ads run in the background don't care about ad viewability.

Most of our advertisers require at least %90 of viewability, big brands. But a still significant amount of them use VAST and don't care about any other measurement. When we ask them to if they have VPAID tags many times they just say no, we only have VAST.

Those statistics are highly suspect, from the article:

"Every year, the government gathers these statistics by approaching 6000 households and asking them to fill in a questionnaire. They don’t have to write their names on it, but they do have to hand them over to a government official. In a country where – as I’ll discuss later – even doctors call the police to inform them if their patients are suspected of using drugs, it is very likely that this method leads to figures that hugely underestimate the proportion of Japanese people using drugs."

As well as:

"He concluded: “A very Japanese way of not dealing with the problem is – don’t take the data that would show that it exists.”"

We have no idea what the statistics might be as they don't want to measure them since then they would have to admit that they have a problem. If people are in pain they'll find a way to escape it, and it seems there's a lot of people in pain in Japan and Korea due to the focus on extreme amounts of work and strict social rules. How they are doing compared to the west is a matter of debate, I think roughly equal just with different areas being difficult, however we can't truly measure and compare as the numbers are being deliberately ignored.

I'm advocating for nuclear power, and I also understand the battle is mostly lost, so please don't act smug like this.

That's an excellent point, any substance that alters your brain chemistry such as Marijuana, Alcohol, or Coffee can have a positive or negative impact. We are rich complex beings and everything we put in our body adds to that. I think many of the harmful substances can have a positive effect if used in a healthy way. We need to let go of either demonizing them for their negative effects or deifying them for their positive effects. Once we realize they're complex supplements that can be an enjoyable addition when used in certain circumstances while still respecting their potential for abuse we'll have made a big step forward.
People used to really notice when a movie, TV programme or video game was violent. Blood, graphic death, etc.

Take this with a grain of salt -- I think I understand Japan after living here for a while, but my "while" is <10 years and in the end it's hard to understand Japan as well as a native Japanese person might. Anyway here are a few:

- Excessive Politeness <-> Passive Aggression (once you over-step or under-step)

- Dedication to Professionalism <-> Overworking & <x>-theatre (the appearance of working hard becomes paramount)

- Pressure to behave "properly" <-> [Ex|Im]plosion of "improper" behavior

- Prioritizing the group <-> Normalization of oppression (ex. someone putting up with something that isn't right to avoid perturbing the group dynamic)

- Propensity to save money <-> Less economic liquidity (whether this is good or bad for an economy is very much up for debate)

- Emphasis on success/reputation <-> Very risk averse behavior

Weirdly enough, in my opinion all of these things are what make japan what it is, and partially what makes it interesting. I haven't checked but surely Japan is the most homogeneous large successful nation out there, with a very distinct culture. I feel like I understand it because once you see the other side of some of these behaviors, it just clicks -- some of it is just historical and requires much more research (could japan have been a matriarchal society? maybe?), but a lot of it just kind of obvious based on the values held by a populace that is so largely homogeneous in culture.

Again, I'm not an expert in Japanese culture, that takes decades of work and research -- but I've found a lot of these fairly obvious to see over the years.

> Maybe you've misunderstood my statement. Only from the materialist metaphysical perspective we are 'self replicating bags of atoms'.

Whatever metaphysical perspective might turn out to be best, I think it's beyond doubt today that we are made of atoms, the same type of atoms that form non-living objects. The self replication part is obvious as well, we can observe it happening everywhere on Earth. So I don't think my conclusion is only valid in the materialist metaphysical perspective.

My view is that self replication + selection under limited resources + adaptation (learning to act) are sufficient to explain our existence. We've understood self replication and selection since Darwin, and we understand learning based on analogy and extrapolation on current day AI. We have all the pieces to finally crack this mystery, and do that with minimal axioms (Occam's razor).
Facebook Stored Millions Of User Passwords In Plain, Readable Text
Seems like an impossible arms race though (to fake viewable) plus it looks like this fraud was a VPAID container.

VPAID adds a overhead compared to the possibility of a native implemented VAST player. If there was a way to verify & build trust with pubs/networks to run vast tags natively, no JS, I would buy that inventory. Newer vast also has a viewable event, but again is on the pub to specify legitimately hence the verifiable trust. There's a reason FB gets a lot of my $$

It would have to be opaque as there is no backing allocation of any kind so the string can’t provide a pointer to the contiguous memory. (Plus tagged strings use an encoding scheme that makes the incompatible with UTF-8 anyway) It’s possible that a smallstring version of the tagged pointer is created in some situations.

SmallString actually was just a tagged cocoa string at one point but that was removed in favor of more powerful implementations. The latest implementation allocates no memory on the heap either but can store more characters, so using a tagged pointer would be a step back.

1) If you don't tell people about your product, they won't know about it and probably won't use it. Word of mouth is ok, but it is surprising how many people are left uncertain and in the dark about what their options are if they aren't directly told what their options are.

2) Without advertising, the internet collapses. Google, in particular, collapses. And takes a lot of unprofitable-without-advertising services with it. Facebook probably goes as well. Most media companies too. Once you lose all those companies I'm not sure how many normal people would agree that the internet still existed.
Let's say that this problem occurred because they logged the body of post requests (including the passwords).

Could this problem be mitigated by hashing the password on the front-end (and a second time on the back-end)?

Like this, the server would never see the plain text password.

Also, if a facebook employee intercepts the hashed password, he could only use it to login to a facebook account. But, I guess he could do that anyway if he has access to the db.

However, this employee would have no way to know the real password and use it on another website.

CP65001 has existed for quite a while. There just have been plenty of places where it never really worked (I think the console was one of them).

Nonetheless, UTF-16 will most likely stay. They might add wrappers around all API functions that convert arguments first, so we'd get CreateWindow8 alongside CreateWindowW and CreateWindowA, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The duality of API functions was to enable programs to be built for NT and 9x with the same codebase. It was never really intended for people to call them directly to enable non-Unicode-aware applications on NT.

The file system cannot migrate from UTF-16 anyway without breaking things, so that will stay as is.

IMHO there's pretty much nothing to gain, except a lot of risk in trying to change Windows to UTF-8 internally and the current interface might be an inconvenience to some developers, but not as much as to justify changing the whole OS.
Empowering the Way You Work and Consume Content
Popular music will always sell one way or the other. It's that simple.

I've been producing for +10 years and I used to dj almost every weekend for two years but eventually I stopped because even though I loved doing it, it just wasn't bringing in any significant money. I'd probably make more money by creating sample packs and sell them through various of sites but it would be the equivalent of "buy my mix tape!" and I'm not doing that.

I produce a very niche genre where there isn't any real money to be made unless you're one of the absolute top names in that genre and they're not rich by any means but they do make a good living doing it.

It's not a right to make a living making music or art and neither should anyone expect doing it unless you set out to commodify it. Very few people will succeed in doing so.

I like how the issue of draining the battery is in title. It indicates that the actual fraud aspect is less important, and that the issue that we're really suppose to be upset about is the battery issue.

Directing angre towards the advertising is a little weird too, if there was less fraud, then maybe the ad buyers be more critical in regards to which ads they buy and how many they run.
