The problem you described actually happened with Firefox and Firefox forks not too long ago. Mozilla kicked out all traditional Firefox add-ons from their repository to "replace" them (note: they didn't actually replace the vast majority) with chrome style webextensions. Firefox forks were forced to implement and run their own add-on hosting system and API, and navigate the complex legal waters of re-hosting the add-ons if they wished to continue having access. One notable example of this is the Pale Moon browser. But it all turned out all right. The PM add-on "store" works great and is reliable.

It's not beyond the capabilities of efforts like Vivaldi or Brave to do the same as the Pale Moon team.

You've revealed only your bias: I never stated or even hinted at being pro-Trump, but you have assumed so. I merely was pointing out a fact: Politico is heavily biased for/by the left. That is all.

Fun fact: Bloomberg also tends to publish more liberal opinion than contrary, which makes sense given Mr Bloomberg himself is a Democrat/Democratic candidate.

Further: pointing out a random article from a different website as some sort of proof, is a real great example of moving the goalposts. I never said a thing about Trump - you brought him in. I also never said anything about media having to preset both sides. I merely had one point, a true one, and it stands.
If such conditions exist, they can be determined while the reactor is shut down. Otherwise that's recklessness. The original safety margins are there for good reason.

Yes the `input[type="radio"]:checked + label::before` selector was for sure used a lot in the past for greater browser compatibility.

But in 2019 I think it is safe to style the radio element directly along with vendor prefixed `appearance: none;` possibly inside an `@supports` rule so that IE users will fall back to the native style while users of modern browsers get a custom style.

We still use AWS for a few things and still have a small bill with them every month, but we're very careful about putting anything there that's going to push a lot of traffic.
You're correct, which is why these trials are placebo controlled and double blinded.
Yes, stability is not well defined. I guess I'd define it as a period of time without wars or non-peaceful transfers of governmental power.

Your knowledge of Chinese history seems pretty good to me!

By the invasion I didn't mean the opium wars, I was referring to the Sino-Japanese wars in which Japan essentially conquered most of China.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_invasion_of_Manchuria

China has probably had a somewhat more stable writing system and gene pool compared to Britain, that's true. I suspect with more knowledge there'd turn out to be pretty large differences over time too. For instance medieval Britain used the Latin alphabet/writing system. The language has changed enormously since that time, but still uses that script. Probably Chinese is the same.

Getting back to the original point (and I'll drop Brexit), your original question was whether democratic systems are really more stable than others. With my definition of stability as avoiding civil wars, revolutions, and other violent transfers of governmental power, I feel pretty sure they are more stable. If you define it as absence of change in art or other forms of culture, I'd concede the point - I'd expect a dictatorship to have less change in art and language, simply because culture benefits from free expression and some of the most creative people in society are often rebellious, which doesn't fit well with such societies.

However, I quite enjoy unstable (or dynamic) culture paired with stable (or peaceful) constitutional change. That seems like a good mix, and it also seems to require democracy.
I suppose an extension is easier but as browsers can be told to go through proxies, an extension isn't necessary for adblocking. A 2nd process on the machine, a change to the browser (set localhost and a port) and you're done. Someone did something similar and called it Dan's Guardian IIRC, but that's all it was.

That's how I run mine, a local (and very ancient) version of squid blocks everything. It won't be as flexible but it works.
This is incredibly hard to do, because you have to emulate the innards of the other program.

Exposing an identical API for something is super easy, it's what happens on the inside of the program that takes all the work.

And since you can't know what's in the other program, it could get as difficult as e.g. reverse-engineering video card drivers.

Large backers for open source donations barely exist because their spouses won't let them.

People and their foundations barely have complete discretion over their money. So when it comes to donations their spouses want to pretend to be the next Bill and Melinda Gates and drop money into a black hole in Africa than a software tool.

An API can be used as a GPL propagation route only for as long as there's a single implementation of it that's GPL'd. And only potentially at that.

For example, if I "publish" an API:

int strlength(const char *);

and ship a GPL code for it, I cannot realistically expect anyone depending on strlength() to be suddenly liable for GPL'ing their work. That'd be ridiculous.

Meaning that for the Blender add-ons to not be subject to Blender's GPL clause it should be sufficient to have an alternative implementation of Blender's API. This, incidentally, will also validate addons against GPL criteria for "derived software" - whether the code in question can or cannot function without GPL-licensed software. If it can, then it's not a derived work and not a subject to GPL terms.

The only way for Blender to prevent commercial addons (which is ultimately what their actions amount to) is to explicitly prohibit that in their license.
The recent reaction of those developers how non-copyleft licenses are being "abused" kind of speaks otherwise.
Because we already know what happens when you can't insert the rods and stop the reaction.
Note: I never said anything about banning anything. Also, while this chart is probably more accurate than the other, I read Politico, NYTimes and many of the others here, and I'd personally rate them differently: NYTimes is fine, but Politico is further to the left of it.

Would you mind explain me why there isn't anything (or only little) done in that area? I guess we could implement some assistive checks for input and output audio streams? What is blocking us to implement a "handshake" that will verify that all is fine? - let's say communicators will send a recorded sample "Hello World" message over wire and check the microphone, volume, noise etc. In my opinion the pattern how we resolve the "I can't hear you" problem is a repeatable checklist that we more or less confidently do, so why we can't implement it as some algorithm that takes care of those problems in automatic way?

Yes, eye-contact in video chats is very important. The way this was done in the early days [circa late 1990's and early 2k](probably still today in more elaborate ways) in video conferencing was the use of a one way mirror at an angle, camera behind mirror and below the mirror the display screen projecting up. This presented the display and the camera at the same level as the eye level of those upon the display, making for a much more comfortable engagement. By that, have a chat with somebody and look at one of their eyebrows, this makes them uncomfortable and increases the number of times they blink as well. The difference of eye-level contact in video conferencing/chats makes the experience and interaction around the subject and not limited by the technology.

EDIT - the same trick for eye-level camera positioning is used for some autocue setups in Television studios.

The reason they are wearing the yellow vests are because some government official who knows better than the population decided that everyone must carry two of them in their cars at all times. Similarly they also decided to raise fuel taxes (cars are required for rural life) and subsidize public transport (used in urban areas).

I worked long for years with scons and it is the worst and most terrible tool I've ever seen and I would only recommend it to my worst enemies.

At the beginning might look good, with some "apparently" nice principles, but beyond a certain point it will start growing in volume and complexity, like a cancer grows, until its technical debt devoures whole teams of people and impacts everyone performance and people starts quitting. Adding more people to the build responsibilities doesn't help because it's impossible to maintain it after more than 2 people have been involved in a large scons projects.

Together with the few fancy ideas that it has, there are other design principles which do not scale from the human standpoint. It's nature of python code for everything and the way builders and scanners are created, makes impossible to follow the code flow and next to impossible to find certain bugs unless the people who built the mess was a god of communication and an ascet in coding discipline. Every single aspect from that build, as soon as more than one target is compiled, will start growing unendlessly, moving the focus from the project's business code to build environment's code. It's design principles and monolitic structures together with its terrible underlaying implementation of that horrible API make impossible to work in a team with scons and the larger it gets the more it leads to giant unmaintaible build environments which end up crashing randomly and no one can explain why or how to make anything by themselves. And at some point the amount of features pythin users end up embeddign there end up creating so much technical debt that it makes feel impossible to justify the migration to a different build system; whereas in reality other build environments might solve almost all the non problems easier by skipping features no one wanted.

You might think I am exagerating because someone showed to you a scons hello world, but then I will reply you that I've witnessed 3 different teams at a large corporation escalating their scons based build environments to upper management because it became an interminable source of conflicts and a black hole of company's resources. The best case was when a full dedicated person in a team of 10 people does all the build related work, and when I say all related work, I trilly mean to write even the most basic aspects of every single build, leaving the rest of the team in the ignorance and uncappable of extending the build by themselves, or at best copy-pasting a snippet and praying that it works.

Seriously, this tool is wrong for teams of all sizes bigger than 2 people. It favors an unmaintainable mess only comparable with the worst spaghetti-worm-hole codebases.
It is natural to look at the person and eye contact when talking to them. Hence we don't look at the camera, though I'm sure some people can and do this.

> I'm going to be unpopular and say I still can't see why the metrics being listed here rate higher consideration than all the threats that could reasonably be imagined over the next 40 years. The risk of running out of fossil fuels without being prepared is much more threatening than the statistics listed.

While it's unfortunate that you can't see the danger, it's comforting that that view is increasingly "unpopular."

Let's take the "risk of running out of fossil fuels without being prepared" as an example. Absolute tripe. A fiction bordering on incoherence. First of all, there is no "risk" of the scenario you have described, in the sense that the probability of "running out without being prepared" are indistinguishable from 0. Fossil fuel prices will climb. Transportation and energy prices will climb to the point that some forms of transport and some uses of energy will either become unaffordable or change to the second-best option (relative to now). This is already happening with hybrid and electric vehicles and wind and solar energy. It will just continue. We won't "run out" in the sense that we've mined the last lump of coal or pumped the last drop of oil. Rather, the costs of extraction will climb until it's no longer feasible to extract. This takes time, and one of the mechanisms that drives that time scale is cost. On this matter, we can breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, the collapse of the ecosystem, or it's (or large parts of it's) sudden transition into a new dynamic regime, is not at all unlikely on the face of it. Mussel shells are an example of a large change due to ocean acidification over the last 50 years: https://news.uchicago.edu/story/mussel-shells-much-thinner-5... . Whole sardine fisheries have collapsed. (It'll be interesting to see if the increase in microplastics will build to a threshold that leads to a sudden die-off of plankton-feeding whales. It's not difficult to imagine a system with that much lag building to an irrevocable state.) The bread basket of the United States is a happy coincidence of wind-blown silt from the Rockies and weather. That good weather is moving north into Canada. These all represent signals from gigantic systems that are careening out of whack. Here, we can only cross our fingers. And hold our breath.

"Running out of fossil fuels" is not the problem. The problem is quitting them before we destroy the systems that keep us alive.
