From what I've read, this looks like it's just posturing on China's part. There are plenty of other sources that can be brought online quicky. The bigger picture is what I'm trying to understand.

How real of a threat is the trade war to China? Could it cause a recession? Worse? Will it have long-term effects for them?

Which party is likely to suffer the least, or gain the most?

Is the US planning on strong arming China long enough for other countries to step in, eg. India, Vietnam, etc.?

What's the objective here? Is it to rebalance power, maintain the lead a little longer, permanently knee-cap them, ...?
It sounds like the website she started was closer to glassdoor.com than ratemyprofessor. It was for rating TV stations.
Your example is meaningless because the article doesn't make any kind of argument for that situation. It suggests that those filters should be more difficult to use, or completely absent - but not that they should be present and ignored. This also wasn't the direction of your original objection against "data manipulation, user interface decisions, hiding of opinions".

More generally, the article doesn't agree with your general idea that "what they like" is a well-defined concept, or that a platform is able to get a good idea of what it is. Giving a user the power to search for specific preferences doesn't mean that a platform will be able to return the best results for that user - just the results that have been searched for. What that means for the authors is that a preference search isn't necessary or meaningful to have.
There are plenty of cities where this is also the case however. You're also not locked into the local area only (where the nearest airport might be hours away) and your options for everything else other than leisure aren't limited

Living in small towns is incredibly stifling for people that prefer to use their feet to get around, at least in America. It always seemed fittingly ironic that people move to small towns so they can drive out to their outdoorsy hobbies.

I'd say the dumbest thing that Dustin ever posted was when he said his blog could only be updated by his email address, and then I updated his blog for him by simply spoofing the sender. Via Gmail SMTP.

"The irony with software is that the most successful pieces of software need to be changed frequently, because of changing requirements."

I don't think that this is true. Some software doesn't need to change much at all and yet remains quite useful. I'm thinking of common Unix utilities as a good example here. Some haven't changed much in decades and yet are still essential to many workflows.

I think what is closer to the truth is that many tasks that we write software to accomplish have rapidly changing or highly variable requirements. This is especially true of things that directly support business processes. Those kinds of software projects are either going to require a lot of changes or will need to constructed in a highly flexible manner so as to acomodate different needs.

I don't think you can enforce this, would be horrible for morale and probably illegal. I like to have similar "punishments" in my teams, people generally have fun with it. (And the rules apply to me too of course) But if someone doesn't want to, they can just ignore it. (Usually 1 in 10-20)
This this this, the real answer! The truth has always been determined through meaningful social consensus. This doesn’t scale well — you need a diversity of people in your life (eg boss, friends, clients, spouse, local hipsters etc) to build knowledge. People in this thread are trying to synthesize a folk epistemology when in reality knowledge of facts is also a lived-in fat just as know how is.

Sorry, the point was that Apple is using its financial resources in one market to enter into another market. This is fine...except that Apple is doing so in a non-competitive manner (which is what the EU cares about) which increases the costs to consumers (which is what the US cares about.)

Apple may or may not be running AM at a profit or not...that's not the problem. The problem is that they're not subjecting AM to the same competitive pressures as AM's competition, i.e., internally they're not holding AM to the same limitations on billing, marketing, etc. as they're forcing on Spotify, Pandora, etc.

If Apple wanted to run AM in a way that didn't violate Western anti-trust rules, they'd have to make it adhere to the same app store restrictions spotify and the rest face, and they would have to charge it 30% for subscription fees. (AM is a separate legal entity. For tax purposes it may just ultimately be money changing pockets, but for legal and especially for antitrust purposes the fact that there is actual money moving around is what matters.)
Very cool, glad to see people tackling Ethereum UX! Your project seems similar to the Burner Wallet by Austin Griffith:
https://github.com/austintgriffith/burner-wallet

Assuming you've seen that project, how does Hedgehog compare?

Do you have recommendations on handling the initial funding of a wallet, especially for your target market of non-technical users? (after they have the wallet, how do they obtain ETH or other tokens to get started?)
Except that LC0 wins decisively against all other engines too. You just hear about the wins vs. Stockfish because Stockfish is the best conventional engine so that's more newsworthy.

Where are the local refineries you are talking about? I'd love to learn more because I'm under the impression that Chinese refineries have so much over capacity that they have already put all US refineries out of business.
I dunno how much of this is P/R and how much is humility. If this was coming from a CEO of a Japanese company I would be much more likely to believe him. In the end it was his government's power moves that have started all of this. He's not at fault but his government sure is.
Yes, but I've always disliked the idea that one extreme will balance out another. Like advocates of Fox News or CNN saying their bias is justified because is balances the bias of their counterpart on the left/right. In theory if people watched both, digested the arguments of both sides, there might be some balance. In practice, it tends to simply entrench people with confirmation bias.

cloudflare running SMTP relays for your own mail system, in both directions, doing spam filtering, etc, could be valuable. argo, edge workers, etc could all be useful in an email environment.

most everyone is already convinced you can't run a mail server yourself, so perhaps the haters wouldn't think that cloudflare is ruining anything by getting involved in mail?

To be fair, you see just as many if not more socialist and black bloc anarchist content on /pol/ as you do nazi content. It's a meme and most of it is posted by the same people.

They started the trade war before it even began by not allowing key US companies with market access...Pretty sure they blacklisted Google and Facebook well before we blacklisted Huawei.
No, the thing he's talking about is definitely dumber.
You are missing the effect of loss-aversion and the cognitive bias towards keeping a test even if it adds negative value.

Once a test has been added, it will tend to stick around even if it is worse than no test.
I don't think the consequences are the same, but I do think the underlying idea is applicable.

Two things to keep in mind:

A) uBlock Origin doesn't just protect me from ads, it also protects me from many trackers. I'm in the (maybe minority, I don't know) camp that says that excessive tracking and de-anonymization attempts cause people tangible harm. They're not as drastic or as harmful as installing malware on my computer, but I put these practices in the same category as a malicious attack.

B) Under the most recent stats I've checked, Malvertising has almost surpassed general unsafe sites like porn/torrents as a source of consumer malware. Even Google Ads aren't immune from some of these attacks[0]. So for less computer-literate friends that I have, I consider a gimped adblocker to be a malware risk source.

But to your point, maybe a less emotionally charged comparison could be Chrome's automatic whitelist for autoplaying videos. Nobody is going to die if a video autoplays on their tablet, but at a fundamental level the point of blocking autoplay is to actually block it, everywhere. Not to block some of it. People didn't want Google trying to guess which video sites were the most annoying, they just wanted Google to turn off autoplay.

In the same sense, if someone installs an extension that says it's going to block ads and trackers, I don't think it's unreasonable for a consumer to want it to block all of the ads (or at least as many as is possible to detect), not just some of them on the X most popular websites.

Wait, Mozilla has a license to a Google product to display video... that they won't give to any other OSS projects?

Like, if you forked FF, you wouldn't be able to display video either?

That is EVIL.

It means effectively there will never be another open source browser that can be display commercial-popular video, Firefox is IT, they have an open source monopoly? Oh geez.
Right now Hedgehog is specific to the Ethereum account model (eg. POA network and others use this too), but there's no reason the approach couldn't be extended to work with other chains.

Here's the key section of code that makes this Ethereum-specific: https://github.com/AudiusProject/hedgehog/blob/master/src/au...

You could replace the use of 'ethereumjs-wallet/hdkey' with any other chain wallet library if it is compatible with the BIP-39 style HDWallet structure. Bitcoin and many other blockchains have compatible libraries that could be substituted easily!
Mastodon is basically a protocol. Replace “Mastodon” with “HTTP” and you’ll see why your comment makes no sense:

“Okay cool. I wonder does that mean Gab is able to use and benefit from any apps/tools created for HTTP servers - or would it be possible for the owners of those apps/tools themselves to block/prevent certain servers from benefiting? I'd hope that's the case so everyone has the ability to 'vote' for who they are supporting.”

Yes, releasing Free software means that even Osama Bin Laden or Hitler would be able to use it freely, whether the author likes it or not.

Correct. Firefox's profiles are not the same as Chromium.

What benefit do the Firefox containers have that Chromium profiles are missing?
It seems like once the old guards in the CCP rejected the reformist trade deal in late May that the inevitable path for both countries is disentanglement. Thus the 25% tariff hike on all Chinese imports possibly starting June 24. Thus the crackdown on Chinese tech with ties to the Chinese government, such as Huawei and DJI. We are now seeing the progression of complete separation of US and China, economically and financially. Between two completely different ideals: autocratic authoritarian, state sponsored economy vs republic, free market
> Checklist item 1: Hire an outside security auditing firm to report on the state of this checklist quarterly

Security auditing firms cost a lot of money. Money you don’t have when you’re a small startup. Besides, an auditor audits and the hard part about this list is implementing it. Until you can afford to hire someone to take care of security, it’s usually the CTO’s job to make sure security is not an afterthought.

> I don't see any value in relating anything to the financial stage of the company because it's irrelevant.

It is extremely relevant, for at least two reasons. The first one is that the company’s financial resources dictate what you can or cannot do (e.g. hire a dedicated security resource, pay for pen testing). The second is that some recommendations just don’t make sense before a certain size (e.g. there’s no sense in setting up an AD and GPOs when there’s just 3 of you in the company).
I would say to get China to stop doing a bunch of shady shit like IP extraction but in reality I doubt people in charge care about that as anything but an excuse for strategic leveraging.

Switched a long time ago from IE and no matter what other browser I try I always come back to Firefox after a while. It just behaves as I expect it to and the UI customization feature is awesome.

The only browser that I think could make me switch is qutebrowser, though the lack of an adblocker is an obstacle for me.

I believe AlphaZero's CNN uses 40 residual layers and LC0 uses 20 layers. So in theory, AlphaZero could have twice as much chess knowledge. So that's a reason to believe that AlphaZero might be stronger than LC0. But there's no real way to know at this point.
Absolutely. Something can be wrong, but constructively so, adding to the discourse in a positive way by still raising valid points even if it draws conclusions that don't quite follow from those points. It's why I often find myself upvoting things I might really disagree with because I nonetheless believe it adds to the conversation in an interesting and constructive way. And conversely, why I sometimes downvote things I agree with when the comment is shallow, snarky, antagonistic, or dismissive of other possible views.

I think you rebut this one yourself - terrorism has a natural limit in the ability of terrorists to launch attacks.

Also the limited number of willing terrorist attackers.
No, this really is the reason. Anti-fraud systems embedded in checkout pages use fingerprinting, for example, and break if blocked. Site breakage very quickly drives users to other browsers.

Similar results for me. Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off WebGL, and if so, how? AFAIK I never use it for anything and I'd rather have increased anonymity. (Assuming disabling it prevents it from being used for fingerprinting.)

Edit: Answering my own question. In `about:config`, change the `webgl.disabled` preference from `false` to `true`. This reduced the "bits of identifying information" from WebGL from 11.26 to 2.56.

Edit 2: Apparently the CanvasBlocker add-on is a better solution as it randomizes the data used for fingerprinting on each read, and works for several exploitable APIs, not just WebGL. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/canvasblocker...

I'm a big supporter of Cloudflare and have been using it for almost 8 years. I personally don't think doing something like that is what Cloudflare needs.

What Cloudflare needs is further customization, especially in regards to caching. We actually had to migrate a certain part of our infrastructure to Fastly due to the lack of caching customization/rules.

I'd like to see:

- Custom caching rules similar to the new firewall rules

- Finer granularity of the cache expiry (I'm aware Enterprise has the ability to cache for 30 seconds, but we don't want to upgrade to Enterprise just for that one thing).

- Cache hit rate analytics grouped by path/domain/etc
No. There is no way for Bitcoin mining to "break SHA-256 and render it insecure". There isn't enough energy in the whole SUN to do that.

> It suggests that those filters should be more difficult to use, or completely absent - but not that they should be present and ignored.

This is semantics. It's about intent. Does the platform intend to give the user what they want (whether they can or not is not part of my argument) or do they intend to give the user what they want the user to see based on politics. This can include taking away tools that would allow the user to look for particular preferences.

I also strongly disagree with the article that people don't know what they want. I think they do, especially when it comes to mate selection.

>terrorism has a natural limit in the ability of terrorists to launch attacks. Not a hard limit, a statistical limit, but important none the less.

I believe terrorism generally creates more terrorism, so the limit you suggest would be amplified by the ability of terrorists to create more terrorists. However, I would interested in seeing some hard stats on this.
