Advertisers have several supply paths to inventory and what gets chosen is a complicated series of decisions. Brave is just not very enticing. Having a large user base isn't useful if there isn't effective delivery and performance. It's always possible to get the low-end performance marketers because they'll buy anything if it works but it won't be good quality.

Also the current trade of content for ads makes sense. When it's opt-in, I fail to see why users would enable ads if they can get the content for free anyway. And if the ads are all low-end spam then I definitely don't see why they would choose them.

It's a very tough 3-way marketplace to bootstrap where the user has all of the control and none of the incentive.
Well, yeah they're playing on the meaning of quality. When you spend 80k on a car you expect it to be both solid, pretty and not a money pit on the long run.

ZetaSQL – Analyzer Framework for SQL
The "killer feature" of C is the simple semantics of the language (despite all the dark undefined corners), which can be implemented relatively straightforward on a variety of ISAs. There isn't any need for runtime support because of the lack of fancy language features.

That makes it the most natural way to call into the operating system, without any concerns that the chunk of memory returned by mmap has to be somehow managed by the language runtime.

None of them do nothing but commute. Many may commute a lot, but that’s irrelevant. Truck owners like to have trucks because of how useful they are when you do need them. It doesn’t really matter how often that is. They see no downside to having it for those times you need it, unlike a Prius, where your vehicle does one thing well (commute) but optimizing for that limits what you can do with it. They feel that they have a commuter, a hauler, an off-road vehicle, a winter snow vehicle, and something that can tow. They can be self-sufficient under a wide range of circumstances. The Prius owner has to ask that friend with a truck if he can help them, pay someone else to do it, or just stay home.

And that’s not how status symbols work. It would be more accurate to say that luxury trucks are status symbols, not trucks. Nobody buys a truck as a status symbol, but maybe they buy a nice truck as one. The same statement applies to cars.
Most real-time video processing systems/techniques only address relationships of objects within the same frame, disregarding time information. Optical flow accounts for this temporal relationship between frames.

Advances in Optical Flow have changed the game in Object Tracking and Human Activity Recognition in videos.

> Brave does not replace publisher ads with their own.

It absolutely both blocks (many) pre-existing ads and places its own ads. Those are both overt features of the browser.

> If a user opts-in to Brave's ad ecosystem, then they've also made a decision about what content funding model they want to support.

It's not really a content funding model, since whether Brave shows (and derives revenue) for ads or not (and whether it blocks the ads the content supplier has decided to place or not) has nothing to do with any agreement or payment to the content source; it's a browser funding model.

The content funding model it (indirectly) promotes is the covert “organic” advertising model, where rather than being separated and distinguished from the editorial content, the promotional content is integrated with and inseperable from the organic content.

The mistake you're making is in assuming insurance companies care about the overall risk. They don't. They only care about the risk they're insuring. Insurers very carefully word their policies to limit what they cover - anything outside of that and you won't get a dime. If a company has some holes in its security that's fine, so long as they're also outside of the policy coverage and the insurance company is capable to proving that.

I've never read any of these policies but I'd hazard a guess they all contain blanket statements like "providing reasonable security measures have been taken" without stating what is actually "reasonable". That pushes all the responsibility to the policy holder.

This has been a consistent dishonest mischaracterisation: that Brave literally swaps a publisher's own ads with their own.

That functionality is on the roadmap, but Brave has stated that will only occur with publisher consent.

Keep an eye out for accounts that try to push this mischaracterisation and see if they're linked to the existing ad tech industry...

The mid-march reveal of Model Y was announced in May 2018.

(There was a later comment from Musk saying that he just picked a date when posting this but eventuelly Model Y was revealed on March 15th 2019, so it looks like the timeframe for the reveal actually was somewhat clear back then.)

Oh, come on. Every other system in common use is fully coherent. POSIX allowing OpenBSD's behavior doesn't make that behavior a good idea or a quality implementation.
Wasm is company and technology independent and went through the proper process for becoming a standard rather than being forced in by some corp hoping to take over the internet.

It also doesn't have any of the security issues because its limited to things JavaScript can do.
Two things:

The demand for the semi-premium model outweighed the standard by 6 to 1, so no, the demand is right where the new obvious entry model is.

It is still technically available, but not in any obvious way (if you weren’t to already know, it’d be fair enough to assume it wasn’t available anymore).
Well, I guess that explains the Autonomy Day [1] event from just two days ago where they presented themselves as the Pack Leader, when everyone else knows it's Waymo (by far).

Quoting user RivieraKid [2]:

Take a moment and think about why are they doing this event now. Elon is setting a stage for a capital raise, he's pitching the autonomy narrative after the Model 3 cash cow narrative failed. They're trying to convince investors (and customers) to give them money because money-printing autonomous taxi service is coming next year.

That's not an argument. Yet again you post from an anonymous account about my personal character instead of debating the actual points raised.

You're also incorrect because I don't compete with Brave and have no vested interest in adtech. I actually spent time and money on regulation and our marketing SaaS works the same regardless of environment.

I think you have a misinformed understanding about the current legal and ethical standards that public western mining companies operate under in Africa. They pay a huge amount of taxes and royalities and many have the host government as a major shareholder (10-15%). It is not western mining companies that are smuggling gold out to the UAE.

Serious mines need an amazing amount of infrustructure and capital - hundreds of millions dollars is typical and often much more. A typical mine employs thousand of locals in what are middle class or better paying jobs - the western run mines are all mechanised - you don't pay $5 day to some local and put them in charge of a $200,000 truck.

Yes the host governments often waste or steal the money, but even with this a huge amount of good is still done. It is the areas of Africa that are not being "exploited" by the West that are the poorest.

The local companies and companies from countries outside the West are still a problem. We should be supporting the good companies and driving out the bad. Unfortunately few investors are willing to do this.
It should be noted that, in the context of a phone where you have to click "Agree" in order to use it, you could argue the ToS is effectively a EULA.

Right now Brave require a creator account to be linked to Uphold which automatically exchange BAT to USD (at a 1.95% fee). Uphold balance can also be withdraw to a bank account in the US or to other cryptocurrency.
Both alternatives that I mentioned, Flash and PNaCL did have open source implementations available, it is just a matter of following the links I posted.

WASM doesn't offer any security over internal data corruption as buffer access within linear memory aren't validated for data bounds or nullability.

So it is possible, for a WASM module generated from C or C++ code, to provide input data to its functions in such a way that it would compromise its behavior from the outside, even though it doesn't escape the sandbox.

Admittedly they only surveyed 55 countries, which I will openly admit to missing.

In addition, I'm not sure how the law of large numbers applies to wealth, which roughly follows a power law instead of being randomly distributed.

> Amateurs have no more business playing lawyer and writing general-purpose software licenses than they do playing doctor and handing out surgical advice. It's not thought-provoking, it's dangerous and harmful to people who don't understand why licenses like this could cause them huge unmitigated legal headaches down the road.

No, that opinion is fear mongering and damaging to a functioning democracy. Legal contracts are a foundational tool of modern democratic society. To say laymen should never write contracts means to say we should also give up valuable tools to make our lives better. Who do you think wrote the original GPL? According to Wikipedia Stalllman wrote it [1]. I bet many legal experts of the time wouldn’t have recommended the idea of copyleft or perhaps even condoned writing it. Having laymen initiate the contract writing process also helps put pressure to keep contracts in "plain language" as some advocate for [2].

To be clear, one _really_ should have a lawyer familiar with relevant legal jurisdictions to review anything written by a layman (especially oneself). However, it’s important for people to take active roles in the legal process lest it become the sole domain of lawyers. One example I’d construe is as a layman "writing (part of) a contract" would be a new employee requesting a change in an employment contract to change an overly broad IP assignment (say excluding after hour open source work in areas outside the businesses domain). It’s common for companies to just use whatever boilerplate employment contracts their contracted lawyers copied out of some off the shelf contract regardless of how it fits the business or employees.

If C didn't have (as much) undefined behavior it would be practically perfect. There's not much else that I would change about it.
I argue that self driving is indeed the core of any car's experience. I agree when Elon says that a decade from now, a car without autonomy will be strange. They will be as common as smart phones are today. Smartphone revolution happened in less than a decade. Smartcar revolution will be little slower, but once triggered it will be unstoppable, even in developing nations.

That's among the reasons the former isn't true.

That PR point has largely been abandoned. I mean, nominally they’ll still sell it to you if you jump through hoops, but they’ve deliberately made it less accessible because, as much as it was an important PR point, it was never really viable.

"“A lot of users don’t want to cash out [when they receive BAT],” he added. “It’s not a huge amount of value for most people, so they may prefer to just use it to give back."

In that case, it's just an ad network. Users watch ads, publishers get paid. Only difference is a new middleman and 2 hops for payments.

Also if the money does add up to a sizable amount then it will be overrun by ad fraud.

For a corporation, "avoiding doing it again" means dedicating resources to preventing a repeat of that type of "mistake": audits, privacy reviews, etc.

The choice not to dedicate those resources up front was an intentional one.
Try and constantly keep track of where the edge is of their comfort zone, and suggest adequate steps away from it in terms of work to be done.

Aside from the timing of this event, why else are you convinced that Tesla is nowhere close to Waymo?
> If you want advertisers, you need to care about what the industry wants

No no. If you want advertisers you need to offer a return on investment. That's it. Any rational advertiser is going to pump as much money as has a return into advertising.
Doesn't that only work when the users have no choice (other than the trade for content)? Would you enable ads if all you got was scammy links? How many users would enable to get to that critical mass?
So what are the "right tools" to reverse diabetes in humans?

These are probably different for the different types. (When young, non-obese kids get it, I doubt it's because of energy surplus)
I suspect it would be a total loss. But rationally it seems like a really unlikely thing to happen. Tesla just made a $920 million payment in March, they have a 20% gross margin, and have $2.2B cash on hand. Sure they may have to slow their growth, or take out another loan, but Tesla is hardly at the brink of bankruptcy.

There are some serious competitors targeting the model S and X coming, although none I've heard come anywhere close to 370 mile range. Most impressively even those with similar size battery (like the 95kwh audi etron) only manage 56% of the range of the model S (100 kwh). It's also substantially slower in acceleration (Telsa is 4.0 second vs Audi e-tron 5.5 seconds).

But the model 3/Y competition in the $40k to $60k range is looking significantly more sparse, especially with similar range. This is where Tesla becomes significantly harder to match because if even if you can match the size of the battery, matching the efficiency is tougher. Running a substantially larger battery to make up for lower efficiency is particularly problematic at this price point.
Elon Musk only controls 20% of Tesla shares, the board can force a sell upon him if the other shareholders agree on one.

And I'm not sure why Apple would buy a car company, it's too far of their core business (aka selling computers ranging from phone sized to desktop size).

The other car manufacturers are not blind idiots, they are seeing EVs are becoming a thing, but it's also in its early stages. The question for them is when should they start switching their line-up, and that's the difficult decision. Too early, and they end-up with too expensive and less convenient cars compared to IC vehicules, too late and you have basically miss the bus.
I’m in a well known bootcamp in SF right now (after flirting with idea for a few years and finally making the timing work). Having hit the half way point, I would say the day-to-day format has been very conducive to learning, at least for me.

Basic structure is:
-nightly readings and videos on a new concept
-a homework on the readings
-a quiz on the material

Next day:
-a half day lecture on the new material from the previous night.
-a half day of paired project work on the material.

I think the reason why it’s a pretty effective format is because it forces you to struggle on your own the night (homework and quiz force you to do something and not just read along) before some new concept is taught, meaning you’re not going into a lecture completely cold. Then in the lecture you can solidify your understanding of the material, ask questions, follow along demos, and then really have things sink in with the longer, more difficult project work that same day.
